Neil Cowley Trio
The Face Of Mount Molehill
MOJO review Neil Cowley Trio - 'The Face Of Mount Molehill'
30 January 2012
Charles Waring
Impressive fourth album from the jazz pianist's trio. Renowned for the exuberant dynamism and boisterousness of their live shows, the Neil Cowley Trio demonstrate here that they possess brains as well as brawn - rather surprisingly, the album opens with 'Lament', a delicate, pastel-hued elegy characterised by fragile melodic filigrees. The band is also augmented by a string section, which adds greater depth, subtlety, nuance and atmosphere to the music, investing it at times with a widescreen cinematic quality. Despite this, the irreverent playfulness that has been an inherent component of the trio's music still remains; evidenced by the distinctly weird 'Mini Ha Ha' and 'Fable', a propulsive groove driven by pounding dissonant notes. Though pigeonholed as a jazz group for convenience's sake, this eclectic offering conforms that the trio's music is an unclassifiable meld of idioms that includes strong rock and pop influences.

Going Deep
The Royals have dropped four bombs in three days at Oriole Park in Camden Yards. Last night David DeJesus didn't wait to let the entire stadium and all the Royals fans at home watching know that he was fine.
DeJesus deposited a 2-2 pitch into the right field seats. After missing two games because of bruised ribs, the Royals centerfielder made his bat heard last night, going 3-for-3.
The Royals may have lost, but they have been torrid at the plate lately. To look at just a couple of those contributor's numbers, let's go Around the Horn…
DeJesus' leadoff homer last night was his ninth home run this season, tying his career high from 2005. He played in 122 games in 2005. He's seen action in just 69 this year.
DeJesus is putting together a career year. His batting average is currently tied for 6th in the Majors – not just the American League (where he's tied for 2nd) but the Majors. The names ahead of him are the names you expect to see leading the Majors in batting average. Atlanta's Chipper Jones is No. 1 and still flirting with .400, then comes Houston's Lance Berkman, the Cardinals' Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday from the Rockies and the Twins' Joe Mauer are the only guys in the game who have seen the ball better than DeJesus in 2008.
As expected with his homers and average, DeJesus' current .382 on-base and .496 slugging percentages are also at career highs. Here are the rest of his 2008 numbers followed by his career bests in parentheses 84 hits (157 in '07), 12 doubles (36 in '06), three triples ( nine in '07), 42 RBI (58 in '07) 22 walks (64 in '07) 30 strikeouts (70 in '06; had 53 in '04 but played only 96 games) six stolen bases (10 in '07), and 37 runs (101 in '07). His career highs for average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage all came in 2006 (.295 AVG, .364 OBP, .446 SLG).
David DeJesus was one of two Royals to receive votes for American League Player of the Month in June. The other Royal,
Jose Guillen has been on a tear since May 1 and leads the Royals in most categories. For today, we're going to focus exclusively on homers and RBI. Guillen sits at 13 and 61.
Those numbers are huge. How huge? The Royals leaders for 2007 were 18 and 62, by John Buck and Emil Brown respectively.
If Guillen were to really, really get hot over the last 11 games before the All-Star break he could eclipse them both and still have the remaining two and a half month to spare. The RBI number is almost without a doubt in the bag. The homer number would be tough, but he's gone on stretches like that in his career before.
Maybe not that hot, but it's something to cheer for right?
Hope everyone made it through the DirecTV channel switch last night, if you didn't you can find the Royals on 672 now…Notes from Trey Hillman: Joey Gathright will sit tonight to recover some after re-dislocating his shoulder bringing back a ball from the great beyond…However he is available…And: Mike Aviles is also sitting tonight to get a breath of air and relax because he may be pressing…Lastly: Trey wants to see more consistency out of Davies tonight…Congratulations is deserved, the Royals named J.J. Picollo as the Assistant GM/Scouting and Player Development.
Reminder about a couple of things coming up:
In My Own Words with Frank White will air on Friday night after Royals Live. The show will detail his journey from a kid in K.C. to a hero in K.C. Again, that will air immediately after the coverage of Royals-Rays ends on the 4th.
Saturday: The Royals game versus Tampa Bay is on TV. Coverage starts at 5:30 with Royals Live. This is a makeup from earlier this season.
Also: Hats Off weekend is back and looking to help out some good causes. Special ticket deals were detailed on the blog yesterday. The short of it, the Royals will sell View Level Infield seats for $12 and donate $5 from each ticket to the American Red Cross on Friday July 11 and the Salvation Army on Saturday July 12.
Please have a safe and happy 4th of July.
Tonight's Lineup:
DeJesus CF
Grudzielanek 2B
Gordon 3B
Guillen 7
Butler DH
Olivo C

Oct 26, 2011 | By Eric Gibble
Occupy Wall Street began with a few hundred people protesting the greed of Wall Street in Zuccotti Park in New York City. It grew into a movement of tens of thousands of people across the globe. The 99% made their voices heard on every continent, including Antarctica. Some mocked the Occupy protesters. Others believed the movement would fade quickly. However, the reality is the underlying concerns driving the movement will not fade away. If the top 1% of earners continues to increase their share of the nation's income like they have over the last three decades, the Occupy movement will increase in numbers.
I was able to participate in the beginning stages of Occupy DC on Oct. 6 with four other NETWORK staff members. What I saw were people simply trying to achieve the American Dream by ending the horrendous wealth gap in the United States.
Watch what Andrea from Atlantic City had to say about the movement.
We must remember that Americans participating in these protests are individuals with their own stories. Dispersing them with flash grenades and tear gas, like police in Oakland California did, will not disperse their message. And most importantly, it will not resolve the very real and disturbing wealth gap our country is faced with.

Futures Night at Kauffman
Did you know a Royals minor leaguer led all pitchers in his league with wins this season? Do you know who that Royals minor leaguer is?**
Answer: Rowdy Hardy – the often-talked about Royals prospect – led Class A Wilmington in the Carolina League with 15 wins in 2007. He also finished with a 2.48 ERA and walked just 16 batters in 167 innings. Not surprisingly, the left-hander was named not only the Wilmington Pitcher of the Year, but also the Carolina League Pitcher of the Year.
Now, it's no crystal ball, but the Royals Futures Night provides a pretty good look into what fans have to look forward to in the years to come. Last year, Alex Gordon, Zack Greinke, Mario Lisson, Carlos Rosa, Shane Costa and Rowdy – who took home the award last year for his pitching at Idaho Falls – were among the minor leaguers involved in Futures Night. This year, the list is just as impressive…
On Friday, Sept. 28, the Royals welcome Rowdy and the other award winners from each of the club's eight minor league affiliates to Kauffman Stadium. Along with getting their Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, the minor leaguers will participate in a pre-game autograph session (5:15-6 p.m.) as well as a Q&A chat for fans from 6-6:20 p.m., all at Gate B. Then the group will take in some Royals baseball in the big league stadium they look forward to playing in some day soon.
Just to recap, here are the Minor League award winners for this season (check out their stats here) that will be at Kauffman Stadium this Friday:
- OMAHA – RHP Billy Buckner and INF Mike Aviles
- WICHITA – LHP Dusty Hughes and 1B Mike Stodolka
- WILMINGTON – LHP Rowdy Hardy and OF Jose Duarte
- BURLINGTON (IA) – RHP Mario Santiago and OF Joe Dickerson
- IDAHO FALLS – RHP Greg Holland and 1B Clint Robinson
- BURLINGTON (NC) – LHP Anthony Bradley and OF Wilson Tucker
- ARIZONA – RHP Matt Mitchell and 1B David Wood
- DOMINICAN – RHP Giancarlos De La Cruz and SS Angel Franco
ALSO…Another prospect that will be seen around The K this weekend: Royals 2007 First-Year Player Draft selection Mike Moustakas. Moose will be meeting fans at the autograph session on Friday as well as attending Saturday's game. If you get a chance to meet him (and you should because tickets are still available), then give him a big KC welcome to the organization!

U.S. dispatches aid for Philippine typhoon recovery on Veteran's Day
November 11, 2013
The U.S. military lost little time in responding to Typhoon Haiyan with humanitarian relief. But not all the associated challenges are related to logistics.
Typhoon Haiyan was a maximum category-five storm with gusts of up to 235 mph, and authorities say in the city of Tacloban, Leyte, alone, 10,000 could be dead.
Meanwhile, a team of about 90 U.S. Marines and sailors have been dispatched to the nation, and more humanitarian relief is on the way.
But reports from Manilla suggest that social unrest and criminal activity may further complicate the U.S. mission.
As we salute our men and women in uniform here's hoping they have the strategy and resources in place to deal with this catastrophe.

Item # PRL0111
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Prologo Scratch Pro Plus Tirox Saddle $0.00
Prologo's saddles are placed into one of three categories based on their shape. Flat, semi-round, or round. The Scratch Pro Plus Tirox Saddle lands in the third category. Its rounded shape makes it a good choice for riders who tend to stay seated, even while climbing.
The Scratch Pro Plus Tirox has a variable stiffness frame (the portion that attaches to the rails) -- in this case made of injected carbon. Varying the stiffness allows the frame to flex in the middle, which leads to better shock absorption and less rider fatigue. Layered on the frame, the multi-density foam is softer in the mid-section, reflecting the same principles applied to the construction of the frame, and firmer at the paddle (the widest portion), where you sit. In addition, Active Shape Technology (AST) takes the design of the foam one step further. Not only are the mid-section and paddle zones different densities, but within each zone are varying densities and well as shapes. This design serves to even further reduce hot spots on the pelvic and perineal regions.
Prologo endows the Scratch Pro Plus with something they call Easy Stroke Design, or ESD, where the width dramatically tapers toward the nose. Think of this like a deeper slot for the stroke of your leg, with less friction between inner thigh and edge of the saddle you get more efficient power transmission.
The Pro Plus rests on Tirox light-alloy steel rails. This, combined with a tough microfiber cover, makes it suitable not just for the road, but also a great saddle for cyclocross and mountain biking.
Prologo's Scratch Pro Plus Tirox Saddle is available in 134mm and 143mm widths and comes in Full Black and Full White color schemes.

"Pro-life" violence: Here we go again
When abortionist Barnett Slepian was murdered by a vigilante who shot a bullet through his kitchen window, pro-choicers mourned his death. So did thoughtful pro-lifers, for both biblical and historical reasons; in recent history, some of the most effective pro-life spokesmen have been former abortionists-and no one knows when God will change the heart of either a thief on a cross or an abortionist in his killing fields. Furthermore, it doesn't help the pro-life cause to create martyrs for the pro-abortion lobby, which enjoys this era's version of "waving the bloody shirt": blaming Christians and pro-lifers for an abortionist's death. Dr. Slepian's mourners painted him as a loving ob-gyn. The New York Times' account of his funeral played up quotes that played down his role as an abortionist. "This man was about children," said one mourner whose two children were delivered by Dr. Slepian. "This man was not about abortions." Pro-aborts, it seems, may still have a sense of shame. Even President Clinton's letter to the family said nothing about abortion: "This cowardly and brutal act has robbed your family of a beloved husband and devoted father and it has robbed your community of a skilled doctor and cherished friend." Others were more pointed in pointing the finger. "The hate-filled words and deeds of religious terrorists culminated in the murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian," said the Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, chair of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. In language similar to that heard after the death of gay collegiate Matthew Shepard, she called pro-lifers accomplices to murder. "This person was aided and abetted by many others who are sustained by a climate of hatred, intolerance, and fear," Ms. Hancock said. NOW president Patricia Ireland blamed pro-life politicians. "These terrorists have friends in high places," she exclaimed. "Their right-wing sympathizers in state legislatures and Congress give credence to their tactics by creating legislation to restrict or outright ban abortion. These measures will ultimately be as deadly for women as bombs or bullets." Pro-lifer Judie Brown of the American Life League took a more thoughtful approach, noting that the assassin operated not from a pro-life, but a pro-choice worldview. "Such violence against a fellow human being can never be justified," she said. "This tragedy is but another example of the disrespect for human life that has permeated our society." Four other abortionists in upstate New York and Canada have been hit by snipers since 1997, though this was the first fatal attack. Authorities would not say whether Dr. Slepian's death was related to the other shootings, which also involved shots fired through windows.
Rocking the cradle, changing the world
This month's Vanity Fair has named "America's Most Influential Women: 200 Legends, Leaders, and Trailblazers." With few exceptions (and the exceptions are the rich wives of wealthy men), these are the familiar feminist icons-women who have jobs outside the home. No full-time (or even part-time) stay-at-home moms are featured. Husbands, if any, are out of sight, and children, if any, are ignored. Feminists want us to believe these "other women" are an extinct species, or that when we encounter them, their lives are being wasted. The issue is a slur on women choosing to stay at home because they find such work more valuable than "working" women who trust their children to day-care providers, nannies, or "preschool" teachers. What is influence? One of its definitions is "power exerted over the minds or behavior of others." Are female Cabinet members, corporate CEOs, and political activists the only women considered to have such power? Gail Evans, a vice president at CNN, tells me she stayed home for a decade to help rear her children before accepting a job outside the home. "I learned more about managing a business carpooling kids in a nine-passenger vehicle than I would have learned at Harvard Business School," she says. Each year, conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly gives a "Full-time Homemaker of the Year" award to a woman who "is raising her family on a single income earned by her husband in the traditional family pattern." This year's recipient is Carolyn Graglia of Austin, Texas, a graduate of Cornell University and Cornell Law School. Mrs. Graglia gave up a career as an attorney in a prominent Washington, D.C., law firm to work full time as a wife and mother to her three children. In the Vanity Fair article, women who represent "the strongest voices for some of the nation's most pressing issues" are all socially liberal: the American Civil Liberties Union's Nadine Strossen, National Organization for Women's Patricia Ireland, National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League's Kate Michelman, Planned Parenthood's Gloria Feldt, and so on. There isn't a conservative, "traditional" woman in the bunch. The stay-at-home moms probably won't notice. They're too busy being influential. They don't have time to read about their sisters who only think they are.

Bitter harvest
Russia has formally asked the United States for food aid for the winter, according to Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman. Meanwhile, hungry Russians are ignoring the resources right over their heads. A roof garden project begun in St. Petersburg by the Florida-based ministry ECHO is falling on hard times just when residents need it most. ECHO director Martin Price said the rooftop project, which once grew several acres' worth of produce, has gained disfavor with the rise of private ownership of apartments and the buildings. "Owners worry about a leaking roof or other problems," he said. "Ironically, this is the type of project that probably would do better under communism." State authorities still allow the largest rooftop plot to flourish-atop St. Petersburg's main prison.
Taking a byte out of crime
A new anti-cyberporn law called COPA, the Child Online Protection Act, goes into effect this month. It restricts American commercial porn sites from showing adult material to minors without verifying their age. Naturally, the ACLU and other usual suspects are suing, saying this violates free speech. COPA is one of the mildest anti-porn laws ever devised. It doesn't actually ban any pornography. It doesn't even affect porn distributors who aren't on the Web, aren't in the United States, or aren't charging money. Nevertheless, civil libertarians call it censorship. The sort of smut affected by COPA are free images given away to entice people to pay money for more pictures. While pay sites usually require customers to be over 18, the entry pages are usually available for all to see. "Pornographers are shamelessly enticing our children with free 'teaser' pornographic images," said Jan LaRue, Director of Legal Studies at the Family Research Council. COPA forces porn sites to perform the virtual equivalent of carding their customers, the same job that convenience store clerks perform when someone asks for a dirty magazine. Usually this involves typing in a credit card number. Legal penalties include up to $50,000 in fines and a six-month prison sentence. The ACLU and others claim COPA would have a chilling effect on the Internet and cause mainstream journalists to face prosecution for publishing the steamy stuff in the Starr Report. That's why they tried to stop its enforcement by filing a lawsuit in a Philadelphia federal district court one day after COPA was signed by President Clinton. "There is this huge category of information out there that has value to adults but lacks value to minors," says staff attorney Ann Beeson. While the ACLU predicts victory, COPA may be a hard law to beat. Its specifications were based on the Supreme Court's decision overturning the Communications Decency Act, which banned all indecent material from the Internet altogether. Since the law was carefully and narrowly written to the high court's earlier specifications, its supporters predict they will pull an upset victory when the case goes to trial.
Technical difficulties
The Dallas-based Cathedral of Hope, America's largest homosexual megachurch, is suing Chicago superstation WGN-TV because the station wouldn't run the Cathedral's infomercial titled "Holy Homosexuals." Among other cable networks only VH-1 would agree to air the program-but only before sunup. WGN allegedly reneged on a $12,000 contract to show the program because it was too controversial. Losing the TV time freed up an extra $12,000 to help church officials pour on the PR, including a well-attended press conference and video news release. The story hit the wires immediately and The New York Times and Chicago Tribune carried stories. Proskauer Rose, one of Manhattan's largest law firms, filed the congregation's lawsuit. "We wanted mostly to reach out to lesbian and gay teenagers but also people living in rural areas, to tell them there is this possibility that you can be gay and Christian," said Michael Piazza, the group's senior pastor.
Windows Y2K
Microsoft may take a beating from Janet Reno in the federal government's anti-trust lawsuit, but outside the courtroom the company is ready to cash in on the millennium bug. Windows NT, Microsoft's business-oriented operating system, has been rechristened Windows 2000. The Redmond, Wash., empire is still fighting its own Y2K battle (see Publick Occurrences, April 25). Not that Windows 2000 is in great shape. Originally known as Windows NT 5.0, it has faced numerous non-Y2K bugs and delays that have held it back. This change plays into corporate demand for new computer software that will be safe from the millennium bug. If company computers don't know that the year 2000 comes after 1999, they could lose money. Windows 2000 is the biggest of a swarm of Y2K-related product announcements aimed at corporate America. "The year 2000 is a big issue with our customers,'' says Microsoft VP Brad Chase. "It's important we have a product in an era when customers are thinking about Y2K."

Britain's high court ruled Oct. 28 that Augusto Pinochet is immune from prosecution in British courts. It ordered the British government to pay the former Chilean dictator's legal fees of $560,000 after British authorities acted upon two Spanish arrest warrants and sought Gen. Pinochet's extradition to face charges of murder, kidnapping, and torturing political opponents during his 17-year dictatorship. Enabling the new holocaust
Germany's highest court ordered Bavaria to join the rest of the country and permit abortion clinics to operate. A Bavarian law prohibiting the clinics was overruled by the Constitutional Court, which said the law was detrimental to women's health by forcing them to travel to get an abortion.
NATO brinkmanship
With the finger of NATO poised over the trigger, Serbian forces battling ethnic Albanians pulled back from Kosovo. Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic gave a face-saving nod to Western negotiators, who had promised NATO air strikes on Serb targets if Mr. Milosevic did not relent and bring his troops home. Officials from the U.S. government and the United Nations said the diplomacy might have averted a wintertime tragedy. The number of ethnic Albanian refugees living in the woods without shelter has dropped from 50,000 in early September to about 10,000. They also estimate that 300,000 people who fled their homes when Serbs began their offensive against the province's ethnic-Albanian majority in February have returned to villages. Most are living with friends or relatives and some have gone home. Staff for Christian agencies serving in Kosovo report that many of their workers never left. Mennonite Central Committee helpers ignored evacuation orders for Americans living in the area and have continued to prepare and distribute refugee kits to homeless Albanians. Bread of Life, a humanitarian agency of evangelical churches based in Belgrade, also delivered aid in spite of obvious political dangers for Serb-based workers. "A Christian's best witness to unbelieving neighbors is calmness in the face of danger," said Bread of Life's Beba Varga.

Nation in brief
We want PCs
Despite a struggling global economy, personal computer sales continued to grow during the third quarter of 1998, according to two market-research companies. The companies released data showing that more than 22.6 million personal computers-including 9.5 million in the United States-were shipped during the third quarter of 1998, an increase of 13.7 percent over the same period last year. Meanwhile, IBM unveiled its new "Pacific Blue" computer, the world's fastest at 3.9 trillion calculations per second. Someone using a handheld calculator would have to punch numbers for 63,000 years to do what the new supercomputer can do in one second. Be afraid; be very afraid
Documents from the Paula Jones lawsuit, unsealed last week, revealed that Monica Lewinsky's lawyers feared federal perjury charges for their client. The attorneys pleaded with Judge Susan Webber Wright to block Miss Lewinsky's testimony so she wouldn't be forced to invoke her right against self-incrimination. The documents also show that shortly after President Clinton pledged full cooperation in the Lewinsky case in late January, his attorney objected to Kenneth Starr's efforts to obtain data from Mrs. Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit. Can't be too careful
An 8-year-old Oregon boy was suspended from school last week for singing a violent parody of a Barney & Friends song. Barney, a purple dinosaur seen on PBS, is best known for the ditty: "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family." The version sung by Douglas Mansfield III began: "I hate you, you hate me." Then he added "Let's kill -," filling in the names of classmates at Schirle Elementary School. Following school shootings across the nation, the school has maintained a zero-tolerance policy regarding violence and threats.
Refilling the trough
As Washington last week formally handed over another $18 billion to the International Monetary Fund, two more countries reached out their hands for global bailout money. The ever-unstable Russian government gave the IMF a plan for pulling itself out of its economic crisis. This blueprint, full of price and currency controls, was a condition for getting another injection from the $22.6 billion bailout package that was negotiated over the summer. The Russians say they need cash to pay their bills. The government is so desperate to save the ruble that it plans to prevent stores from setting prices in dollars or any currency other than rubles. Also, exporters would be required to sell 75 percent of profits to the state for rubles. "Russia at this stage needs state regulation," says Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov. Meanwhile, Brazil unveiled its own plan for a $30 billion package from the IMF. That scheme involves tax increases and spending cuts that are expected to slow economic growth and raise unemployment. Nevertheless, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin supports the aid, saying it is essential for the government to implement the program "promptly and convincingly." Ironically, Mr. Rubin also blames the global economic crisis on the industrial nations that extend excessive credit without properly weighing the risks. The biggest example is the Thai baht. When it collapsed in July 1997, it took many currencies and other financial markets across Southeast Asia with it. Financial turmoil soon spread around the globe. "Thailand was simply the first country in which financial institutions erupted," Mr. Rubin told the Conference of the Americas. "This crisis is the result of problems that developed over many years." He explained, "One difference now is how much it all matters in the interdependent global economy, where decisions can affect not only the country involved but, to a far greater extent than before, other countries around the globe."
Caught in the middle
Back in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat faced the aftermath to their historic peace agreement reached in Wye, Md., a week ago that was neither peaceful nor agreeable. From the ultra-right parties, which form part of Mr. Netanyahu's coalition government, opposition to his concessions to cede West Bank territory to Palestinians may force the prime minister to call early elections. The outcry back home forced Mr. Netanyahu to postpone a meeting of cabinet ministers scheduled to vote on the Wye Memorandum. Jewish settlers demonstrated against Mr. Netanyahu outside his residence and during a Likud rally, reminding Shin Bet, the security force, of the scenario that led to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Israel's prime minister who was killed by a Jewish extremist in 1995 after also reaching a land-for-peace accord with the Palestinians. For Mr. Arafat, upholding his end of the bargain looked equally difficult. Palestinian security forces are under a deadline to submit a paper to the CIA this week outlining plans for rooting out terrorist cells. The U.S. intelligence agency will oversee the terrorist cleanup, but a car bomb attack on Oct. 29 proved how high the bar is.

Roger Federer and wife Mirka returned to Italy to take in Giorgio Armani's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection in Milan as guests of Vogue editrix and premiere Fed stalker Anna Wintour.
The 15-time Grand Slammer announced his withdrawal from Tokyo + Shanghai today saying,
Dear FansNo surprise there. I expected a pretty limited schedule for Fed's fall campaign - you know, with the mangoes and all.
I am disappointed that I have to withdraw from Tokyo and Shanghai as they are two of my favorite cities in the world and the fans have been great to me over the years. After consultation with my team and doctors, I decided to take the difficult decision to withdraw from both tournaments so that I can give my body a chance to rest, rehabilitate and fully recover from a physically challenging year.
Kind regards

5 Hardy Hard-to-Kill Houseplants for Apartments with Low Light
From the Archives: Greatest Hits
One of the biggest frustrations of living in a space with limited light is the seemingly impossible task of keeping your houseplants happy. While all plants do need light to survive, even those with a shortage of natural light are in luck if they know what to shop for.
The easiest way to determine what will do well is to look to the plant's natural conditions. Succulents, cacti and other desert dwellers are best suited to sunny spots, while anything that naturally grows on the forest floor, under a canopy, or thrives in shade is a candidate for lower light situations.
Here are a few fool-proof options for low light apartments:
1. Snake plant (Sansevieria Trifasciata)
This is my favorite pick for the darker corners of my own apartment. It has a sculptural appearance, adds a bit of green, and seems to thrive on neglect.
2. Spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)
A popular houseplant when I was growing up, these interesting plants self propagate by sending out off-shoots, do well when their roots are crowded, and can thrive in low light conditions.
3. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
A hardy plant that can tolerate both low light and watering neglect, the ZZ plant is great for those with a less than green thumb.
4. Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena Sanderiana)
Adaptable bamboo is a great fit for dim rooms, and is inexpensive and easy to come across.
5. Peace Lilly (Spathiphyllum Wallisii)
Known as a great plant for improving indoor air quality, the Peace Lilly is also one of the few low-light friendly options that produces flowers.

Here's Five New Coffees
July 10, 2015
- Cameroon Mifi Bamboutos Mountain - has pleasant body with brown sugar sweetness and roasted barley notes. A nice savory-sweet mix of baked sweet yam and raw sugar is furnished as it cools. Nutmeg-spiced finish.
- Colombia Finca Monte Verde Gesha - has a weighty mouthfeel, like apple juice, and refreshing acidity that adds to the tactile impression. It's truly a refreshing cup with a whole host of fruit notes with 'tea' flavors. This coffee is clean as they come, brisk like the flavors found in the cup, and the finish coming to a point.
- El Salvador Finca Matalapa Guayabo - has a chocolatey thickness that is like dark chocolate torte, along with a bittering cacao flavor and hints of roasted almond and pistachio. This is a classic mild Central American coffee profile.
- Ethiopia Dry Process Yirg Adado Sulula - has dried blueberry notes, as in blueberry granola. Initial cocoa nib flavor passes into the complex sweetness of raw demerara sugar. Dried apricots assert themselves, with suggestions of mango as well. We find this coffee to really bloom in aromatics with a long post-roast rest of 2-3 days.
- Ethiopia Dry Process Yirg Buufata Konga - is top-loaded with fruit notes of peach jam, chocolate-dipped strawberry, and lychee hints, accented by sweet spices cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. It's a well-bodied cup, which carries a sweetness of date sugar and molasses long in the aftertastes. This is a coffee that will keep the descriptive adjectives rolling!

New England prides itself on it's quaint island escapes, and Nantucket's at the top of the must-visit list. From cobblestoned streets to 18th-century lighthouses, it urges you to slow down, take in your surroundings, and wear sundresses. Which brings me to the topic at hand. If you're lucky enough to visit, what should you wear?
The answer in a word: preppy. It doesn't matter if it's not your style (wink). Now's your chance to go head-to-toe in pastels, pretty pleats, strapless numbers, and florals. Lots of florals. Don't worry – what happens on Nantucket stays on Nantucket. So go big. This is how summer is meant to be celebrated.

500GB SATA Hard Drives
SATA / Serial ATA Hard Drives come in two basic types - Enterprise grade and desktop grade. Enterprise grade SATA disks are built for 24x7 operation and are almost exclusively used in servers that use hot swappable (hot-swap) drives with a SAS or SATA hot pluggable backplane. You use a hard drive tray or caddy or sled, and simply slide and clip the drive into the front of your server. Desktop grade drives, as the name implies, are mostly used in less intense desktop applications.
Example models are:
Hot-swap SATA / Serial ATA hard drives are commonly used in Dell PowerEdge 840, 1900, 1950, 1950 III, 2900, 2900 III, 2950, 2950 III, 2970, 6900, 6950, R300, R900, R905, T300, T605 Servers and PowerVault MD1000, MD3000, NF100, NF500, NF600 Storage Arrays; Compaq Proliant® systems such as DL140 G2 , DL140 G3 , DL145 G2 , DL145 G3 , DL160 G5 , DL180 G5 , DL185 G5, DL320 G3 , DL320 G4 , DL320 G5 , DL320 G5p , DL360 G4p , ML110 G3 , ML150 G3 , ML310 G2 , ML310 G3 , ML310 G4 , ML310 G5 , ML350 G4p , ML350 G5; and Ibm xSeries such as 206M, 306m, 3250, 3455, 206, 226, 236, 336, x206, x226, x236, x336.

Harrisonburg, VA (Sports Network) - James Madison University quarterback Justin
Thorpe has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, school
officials announced Monday.
The local Virginia product will now be listed as a redshirt junior moving
forward in the 2012 season.
During his first year at JMU in 2008, Thorpe suffered a season-ending knee
injury. In the 2010 season opener, he was injured once again versus Morehead
State and missed that season as well.
Although it is not common by the NCAA, if a player has been injured twice
resulting in season-ending problems, there is a possibility for a sixth year of
When healthy, Thorpe has thrived as a starter for the Dukes, compiling an
overall career record of 14-4 versus FCS opponents. This season, he is JMU's
leading rusher with 261 yards and three touchdowns, and has completed 61-for-98
passes for 728 yards and five scores.
The news comes after JMU's bye week. The No. 5 Dukes are preparing to host
defending CAA champion Towson at Bridgeforth Stadium on Saturday.

What a great idea. My kids love the personal ornaments and so do I. I was looking at some photos of my 2 bigger boys from several years ago and can't believe how big they have gotten.
I have had so many Google problems-and it isn't over-Google has no idea how to solve the problem.
Sorry I haven't been by much-I decided after weeks and weeks of non-stop Google issues, I am throwing my hands up and making much needed visits.
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and hope you can come by for a visit.

I just wanted to say "Thank You" for making my day. Your name "Pink and Green Mama" made me think of my Mama, whom I was really missing lately. Pink and green were her favorite colors. I felt like I got a hug from Heaven when I came across your site! :)

Doug Stanglin, USA TODAY
Former President George H. W. Bush, who was hospitalized in Houston last month with a bronchitis-like cough, has been put on a liquids-only diet because of a "stubborn" fever that has worsened in recent days, according to his spokesman.
Jim McGrath tells the Associated Press that doctors at the Methodist Hospital have been treating the fever with Tylenol but have not determined why it has "elevated" in recent days.
Doctors had earlier said they had hoped to discharge the 41st president by Christmas Day.
At the same time, McGrath says, the nagging cough that landed the 88-year-old former president in the hospital has improved. He only coughs about once a day, McGrath says.
Bush was initially hospitalized Nov. 7, then released, but returned on Nov. 23.
Bush, who lives in Houston in the winter and at a home in Kennebunkport, Me., in the summer, was visited on Christmas by his wife, Barbara, his son, Neil, and Neil's wife, Maria, and a grandson, McGrath says.
Bush's daughter, Dorothy, was scheduled to arrive Wednesday from Bethesda, Md.
The former president has also been visited twice by his sons, George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida.

Thank you again, Laurie! And thanks to Allison and to your hubby. You guys did an incredible job and we are getting so many comments from friends and family about how wonderfully you captured the day and so many special moments.

Alcon Benjamin Webb Pacific Photographs
This collection of 349 photographs was taken from around 1914 to 1918 while Webb was on a Pacific tour and later a prisoner of war of the Germans in Rabaul.
The images depict a variety of places and subjects. Those from Rabaul, New Britain Province, PNG, show scenes of the prison hospital and patients, as well as the harbour, shipping, native police, village life, social customs, traditional ceremonies churches and missions, a German school and plantation life. Images from Vanuatu (which include the islands of Efate, Tanna, Ambrym and Malakula) show village scenes, local people, dress, portraits, social customs and coffee and copra production. There are also some from North Solomons Province and Manus Province, PNG.
Alcon Benjamin Webb
Webb was born at Palmers Island, northern New South Wales and never married. He was a chemist consultant on holidays on the ship 'Metunga' when it was sunk by the German ship 'Raider Wolf'. He was taken prisoner by the Germans and held as a Prisoner Of War in Rabaul (then a German Territory) during World War I. He acted as a medical assistant in Rabaul hospital. The photographs date from this time. Webb developed his own prints. He died in Randwick Hospital of tuberculosis and 'war wounds'. Webb's great-nephew had no knowledge of Web's movements beyond his time in Rabaul.

A recent report of crime statistics shows the City of Carrollton and other North Texas suburbs have seen considerable decreases in crime over the past year.
The report, compiled by the Dallas Morning News, uses city-reported numbers and the 2013 North Central Texas Council of Governments population estimates.
Carrollton saw one of the more significant declines—a notable 18 percent—thanks to a drop in burglary and auto and property theft offenses.
"We formed an intelligence unit to help us identify areas needing attention, emphasized community engagement of officers, holding officers accountable for their time and moving sworn officers back into the field," Police Chief Rex Redden said of the various strategies that have contributed to the decrease. "Officer visibility in the community is key to sending the message that this isn't the place to come to commit a crime."
The article in DMN outlines Dallas' surrounding areas' crime rates, and reports that save for Mesquite and McKinney, 10 of the biggest suburbs are reporting declining crime rates.
Since 2003, Carrollton's crime rate has fallen from 36.59 to 2013's 24.07. Just since 2012, the rate dropped 4.8 points. The biggest decline in the last 10 years has been between 2009 and 2010 with a more than 5-point decrease.
Mayor Matthew Marchant expressed his gratitude to the police department and their efforts in working to make the city safe. "Carrollton is one of the safest communities in Texas and we will continue to seek innovative ways to reduce crime."

Bawdy show to benefit AIDS Services in Keene
"I love that tie in and we'll figure out some way to highlight the fact that it's World Aids Day," said Susan MacNeil, executive director of AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region.
The organization supports, among other activities, the Cleve Jones Wellness House in Gilsum for those living with AIDS, HIV and hepatitis C.
It's the tenth year in a row that the local drag queen performers known as The Rainbow Ladies have come together to support the organization during the holiday season. It is also a year-end celebration for AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region, she said.
"It's just wonderful each holiday we can come together with a couple hundred people that support us and these performers that come each year for free," MacNeil said.
Headlining the show is Mama Mayhem, aka Mark Herman-May.
"We will support just about any cause that comes to us," Herman-May said. "But the performers, we're gay, so to us this is closer to home. The older ones of us have lost family and friends to AIDS so for us it's a way of continuing their legacy."
Herman-May said the audience can expect a fun night of traditional drag numbers with the addition of holiday songs.
"For Christmas we usually try to throw in some traditional Christmas music, but when you see a six and half foot drag queen lip-syncing 'Santa Baby' it changes it a little bit," he said. "And a lot of the show is the bantering between the performers and the audience."
The show is recommended for 18 and up for off-color humor, Herman-May said.
"I'd like to think of us as being bawdy humor. Some of the numbers are a little risqu� and on stage I don't have the cleanest mouth. But it's really just fun," Herman-May said. "We advertise as adult entertainment, but certainly we have had people bring their older teen children."
The show is planned for Saturday at the American Legion on Court Street in Keene.
The audience is encouraged to bring their own "holiday feast." Drinks must be purchased from the bar. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door and $100 for table of eight with paid reservation. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m.
Tables must be reserved in advance with VISA/MC by calling 357-6855.
Holiday parties welcome.

Women and Water Rights II: Rivers of Regeneration
October 27 to November 22, 2011 -- Opening Reception: Thursday, October 27, 7:00 p.m.
HANCOCK, MI - Women and Water Rights II: Rivers of Regeneration, a group exhibition, will be featured at the Finlandia University Gallery, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock, October 27 to November 22, 2011.
Included in the exhibit are works by Liz Dodson and James Brenner, Mayumi Amada, Cheryl Wilgren Clyne, Rosa Musket, Christine Flavin, Yueh-mei Cheng, Melissa Hronkin, Robert Grame, Phyllis Fredendall, and Denise Vandeville.
An opening reception for the artists will take place at the gallery Thursday, October 27, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The artists will speak at 7:15 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Who has the right to bodies of water, in our state, our country, our world? What are the issues involved in making water available to us? How does gender affect the right to water?
Several years ago in Minnesota, a group of women began discussing these questions. Their inquiry blossomed into the 2010 juried exhibit and symposium "Women and Water Rights: Rivers of Regeneration." The event was organized by the Women's Caucus for Art, Minnesota Chapter, and held at the Katherine Nash Gallery on the University of Minnesota Campus.
"Women and Water Rights II: Rivers of Regeneration" will feature artwork by four artists who participated in the Minnesota exhibit: Liz Dodson (Minneapolis, Minn.) and James Brenner (Chicago, Ill.), Mayumi Amada (Minneapolis), and Cheryl Wilgren Clyne (St. Paul, Minn.).
Also featured in the current exhibit are seven Upper Peninsula of Michigan artists: Rosa Musket (Marquette, MI), Christine Flavin (Marquette), Yueh-mei Cheng (Hancock), Melissa Hronkin (Mass City), Robert Grame (Houghton), Phyllis Fredendall (Hancock) and Denise Vandeville (Alston).
Liz Dodson, a longtime member of the Women's Caucus for Art, helped to organize the Minnesota Women and Water Rights exhibit, working with Marilyn Cuneo of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and Diane Katsiaficas, an art professor at the University of Minnesota.
For the Finlandia Gallery exhibit, Dodson has collaborated with her son, James Brenner, a Chicago-based sculptor and director of the studio collective Chicago Sculpture Works, to create a sculpture that addresses the water crisis.
"The Latin roots for "sea" and "mother" are the same: 'mer,' Dodson notes. "We know that without water there is no life, just as without women, there would be no life. How can the 'feminine' qualities of intuition, creativity, and connection restore balance to the planet and meet the long-term needs of all who inhabit her?"
Mayumi Amada will display "Floating/Ukiyo," a 5′ x 9′ sculpture made from recycled plastic bottles.
"Domesticity is the underlying code for my work and I often use traditional female handcraft techniques and their images," says Amada. "The transformation of material is another characteristic of my artwork."
Amada uses flowing water as a metaphor for life. "Time and life are moving forward from the past to the future like the flow of a river," she adds.
Multi-media artist Cheryl Wilgren Clyne will screen a new digital video titled, "below lies softly glowing." The video was shown recently at the Burnet Art Gallery, Minneapolis, and 2012 screenings are scheduled in New York and Berlin.
Rosa Musket is a passionate advocate for water rights, and that passion is expressed in the mixed media artwork she will display in the Finlandia Gallery exhibit.
"My heart has been given over to water and it's absolute preciousness to our very existence," says Musket. "The need for water to be available to all, without impurities, informs my current work. I ask: is it still water, when there are additives of every sort in it?"
For the group exhibit, Christine Flavin has expanded on her recent photographs of abandoned mine sites in Michigan's Upper Peninsula by addressing the emotional impact of mining on past generations of men, women, and children.
"In response to the invitation to exhibit my work with other artists in Women and Water Rights II, I began researching the number of deaths that occurred in the mines between the years of 1880 and 1920, the era when the mining industry was at a peak," says Flavin. The resulting photographs underscore the loss, isolation, abandonment, and marginalization experienced by the widows and children of deceased minors.
Denise Vandeville's porcelain vase, "Waterfall," captures the sights and sounds of a stream that runs behind her home in Alston. Vandeville says that the stream is "a long slow waterfall that puddles and flows, puddles and flows. This piece is a gift from that stream."
By manipulating materials and heat, Vandeville explains that in this piece she was able to emulate the feeling of flowing water, even in the glaze puddles on the horizontal planes that are the shoulders of the pots.
"Is it sight or sound that keeps us sitting at a waterfall?" asks Vandeville. "I enjoy waterfalls even with my eyes shut. The sound of moving water must have soothed the human soul long before music was invented."
For artist Phyllis Fredendall, living near Lake Superior is a constant source of inspiration. "Lake Superior is my anchor and magnet," she says. "It buoys and baptizes me in the summer and generates layer upon layer of purifying snow in the winter. How to express the preciousness of that water? To speak of it as a 'right' is impossible. It is a sacred body."
Yueh-mei Cheng, who will show a drawing in the exhibit, says, "There's an old saying that women are made of water. Water represents the balance of strength and delicacy that signifies women's lives."
"The relationship between women and water is often in the literature and spiritual practices of the Eastern traditions," Cheng adds. "The symbolic metaphor for the female quality of compassion and wisdom indicates purity, flexibility and durability."
Melissa Hronkin's installation, "earth, air, fire water" is an intimately scaled, interactive work that employs copper, wood, and glass specimen jars containing substances such as honey, water, salt, ash, dirt, and other precious materials.
"It is a reflection of how the elements of earth, air, fire, and water are all interdependent and necessary to maintain balance on any level," explains Hronkin.
Robert Grame, associate professor of graphic design, joined the faculty of Finlandia's International School of Art & Design this fall. As a designer, Grame believes in the social and ethical responsibility of design.
Grame will display "Measuring Inequality," a mixed media installation/information architecture piece. "The installation is intended to portray the overall disparity of existing water footprints in terms of water usage per capita, by country," he explains.
"Women and Water Rights II: Rivers of Regeneration" is on display at the Finlandia University Gallery through November 22, 2011.
Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 12:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock. Please call 906-487-7500 for more information.

I'm trying a Portolan Chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portolan_chart
So far I've vectorized, cleaned up, and tweaked the base image in Inkscape, and written a little program to generate the web of Rhumb Lines.
hello you... any chance you`d share that little rhumb program?? me wants it very bad!
Code:#!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 require 'matrix' p=4 n=2**p d1=600 d2=4*d1 points=Array.new(n) do |k| theta=2*Math::PI*k/n x=d1*Math.cos(theta) y=d1*Math.sin(theta) Vector[x,y] end def line(p1,p2,style) "<path d=\"M#{p1.to_a.join " "} L#{p2.to_a.join " "}\" style=\"#{style}\" />" end puts <<EOS <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> EOS n.times do |k| p1=points[k] (k...n).each do |l|#<path d="M250 150 L150 350 L350 350 Z" /> style=(k+l)%2==0?

thank you very much.
now i just need to know how to make all this code work?? heh heh..... where do i use it?? (total n00b, yes)
If it's easier, here's the SVG file output, zipped because the forum software refuses to allow SVG files. With the program you can change the number of directions, but most real portolans seem to have 16 directions.
I`m sorry, but i haven`t got a clue here!
Where do I use the SVG file?? I tried it in Firefox, but I only got some of the image (three stars in the upper left corner)...
Is there somewhere in the code I can change the amount of "stars"?
AHA! I`m such a dumbass! You just copy and rotate the things??
But is there anyway I can get the image bigger than in my browserwindow??

The show must — and will — go on for Island Park Theatre Group!
(Page 2 of 3)
The show's assistant director Marti DiPaola said that she had relatively minimal damage to her home in Long Beach (she lost her roof) but recently got a notice that she's been dropped by her insurance company for living in a high-risk area. "Doing the show … it's like getting family back together," she said, adding that the cast rallied with costumes and even everyday clothes for each other after the hurricane. "Now, there is more of a sense of taking care of one another."

Today it is one of Zug's landmarks. The Renaissance Room with the green tiled stove was created by Josef Keiser. Seasonal cuisine with specialties from Alsace.

He'll charm fellow officers with doughnuts, spend a Sunday doting on his young son, Harrison, or chop up a victim and toss the parts off the side off his boat. Hiding beneath the mundane exterior of Dexter, a seemingly shy blood spatter expert for the Miami police, is an obsession with meting out his own twisted brand of justice. Dexter kills according to a strict code established by his late father, Harry. But Dexter's carefully ordered reality is crumbling now that his sister Debra knows all and has become his unwilling accomplice.
Moving from an uptight funeral director on SIX FEET UNDER to a serial killer on DEXTER, to Beat Generation figure David Kammerer in KILL YOUR DARLINGS, Michael C. Hall continues to illuminate humanity in transformative, complex characters.
A formally trained stage actor, Hall first made an impression as younger brother David Fisher on SIX FEET UNDER. During the series' five year run, Hall received nominations for an Emmy® and the AFI Male Television Actor of the Year Award.
For his performance as the title character DEXTER, Hall (who served as an executive producer) won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards in 2010 and the 2007 TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Drama. He also received five consecutive Emmy Award nominations. Hall recently made his directorial debut with "Every Silver Lining," the second episode of the eighth and final season.
Hall will continue to work with SHOWTIME to develop and executive produce AMERICAN DREAM MACHINE, a serial adaptation of Matthew Specktor's acclaimed novel about two generations of Hollywood royalty.
Hall appeared on the big screen as David Kammerer, the former professor obsessed with and later murdered by Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan) in John Krokidas' KILL YOUR DARLINGS (Sony Pictures Classics) the Beat Generation drama that also stars Daniel Radcliffe as Alan Ginsberg. COLD IN JULY, Jim Mickle's feature adaptation of the Joe Lansdale cult novel in which Hall stars with Sam Shepard and Don Johnson, recently premiered to significant acclaim in US Dramatic Competition at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
A North Carolina native and graduate of NYU's MFA program in acting, Hall made his Broadway debut as the emcee in CABARET, directed by Sam Mendes and also portrayed Billy Flynn in CHICAGO. His New York stage credits also include MR. MARMALADE, MACBETH, CYMBELINE, TIMON OF ATHENS, HENRY V, THE ENGLISH TEACHERS, and CORPUS CHRISTI.
Hall will next appear in the Broadway production of Will Eno's new dark comedy, THE REALISTIC JONESES, co-starring Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, and Marisa Tomei. Directed by Sam Gold, the play is about two suburban couples who discover they have an unsettling amount in common.
