- weight - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
People commonly use the term weight to describe the heaviness of an object. Scientists, however, have a specific definition for weight; they use it to describe the effect of gravity on an object. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force with which an object is drawn to the center of a massive second object, such as Earth or the Moon.

An exciting morning occurred today for myself and my guests. After tracking some Elephants with a fellow ranger and having a great sighting we then proceeded to try and see if we could see some Lions before the guests had to check out. We responded to a sighting of our large male Lion and one female, (the mother of the two one and half year old male and female sub-adults), who were busy mating.
Lions mate for three to four days at a time. The actual mating occurs for about 45 seconds and they will repeat this every few minutes. The male Lion's penis is barbed which makes for an uncomfortable process for the female but insures that the copulation is a success for him. Afterwards there is much growling, snarling, and possibly a slap or two in the male's direction. All of this makes both male and female very grumpy and somewhat unpredictable.
Our male was particularly surly this morning as we approached the sighting, growling and lunging at the vehicle. We gave him and the female a wide berth which allowed them to relax and give my guests fantastic viewing and photo ops. After awhile we decided to leave and as we did the male, in his grumpy mood, decided to show us who is really King of the Bush!
Great photos in hand, smiles on faces, and adrenaline going, my guests and I left the two honeymooners to themselves.

This afternoon's game drive turned out to be a cracker with our first sighting of the afternoon being two lions, a large male and an unusually large female, lazing the afternoon away in a river bed under the shade. As we were watching the lions I noticed movement about five meters away from the lions so while my guests attention was focused on the lions I looked to see what the movement was, to my surprise it was a puff adder moving across the river bed, most likely out and about looking for a mate as this is the time of year when breeding in puff adders takes place. Definitely a highlight of the afternoon.

Our Lions here at Kapama are used to the vehicles, guests and all, and usually carry one with business as usual, despite all the rain we've been having. There have been some fantastic sightings of our Lions recently. The other night my guests and I were treated to a sighting of two of the sub-adult Lions, (one male and one female), wrestling and playing up and down a dry riverbed while their mother tried in vain to get them intertested in hunting. The next night we found the two of them again, but this time they were busy finishing off a young warthog they had just killed and moving up and down calling for their mother. The four three year old Lionesses have been busy hunting as well having killed a Wildebeest a few days ago.
By: Noelle DiLorenzo – River Lodge Ranger
Yesterday morning my guests and I witnessed an incredible sighting. We heard audio of our large male Lion and went to investigate. As we got visual of the male and our largest Lioness we noticed a large male Leopard up a tree. Lions and Leopard do NOT get along. Lions will kill Leopard and Leopard cubs and Leopard will kill Lion cubs.
The two Lions were under the tree harassing and roaring at the Leopard. About three minutes later a Crash of three Rhino wandered into our sighting, a male and two female, and started chasing the Lions away. The Leopard jumped down out of the tree and tried to jump into another tree but missed. As the Leopard missed the Lioness grabbed the Leopard by the rump and the Rhino came and chased the Lion off again.
The Leopard ran off, perused by the Lions the whole while. He climbed another tree trying to escape but only reached a small branch where he was very uncomfortable. The Lions started roaring again and the Leopard jumped down and there was nowhere to run, being caught between both Lions. The male Lion caught the Leopard but the Leopard fought back. Then again the Rhinos chased the Lions and the Leopard managed to escape and run off into the bush!
An incredible, once in a lifetime sighting at Kapama that my guests and I will never forget! (Thank you Sebastian for the FANTASTIC photos to add to our story!)

To watch predators hunt is always a magical sight, but hardly ever do you get the chance to see the actual kill. Some of us can't always stomach to see a poor defenseless impala getting dragged down by a ferocious lion, but it happens.
The morning started off very quite with a few birds displaying their colors and aerial agility and a few impala rams running around getting ready for the mating season. As I came around a dam wall Magnum my tracker could hear a troop of baboons high up in a tree alarming at something they have spotted. We quickly raced around to the opposite side of the block to find three lions walking down the road, a mother and two sub adults
While following them back the way we came, we realized that there was a group of Impala grazing not to far from where they are now and started to explain what could happen if the lions caught scent of the Impala. I was still talking when suddenly the lions stopped and stared into the bush about 40m in front of them. One by one the lions moved off the road and into cover. I continued forward until we had visual of both the lions and Impala. The mother was leading the hunt with the rest reforming on either side of her.
Very slowly, as if everything was put into slow motion, the lions crept forward.
With her cold piercing eyes focusing on the herd of Impala the leading female froze. She is only 15m meters from a young Impala calf unaware of its impending fate lurking behind cover. It was like the volume was turned right down at this moment, the tension was thick and everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting. The lioness was set like a sprinter waiting for the gun to go, muscles bulging, body flinching with excitement…..
One last calculation and she's off, two steps and she was around her cover. Each footstep was perfectly placed, each turn was calculated, she's gaining ground on the Impala that has by now seen the danger and was trying to flee. She swipes at the rump with an outstretched claw and hits the Impala off balance, within seconds she was at the throat and……silence.

As guides we are always asked "How often do you see The Kill". This is a tricky question to answer because the vegetation, time of day, species and mainly luck all play a role. Many times we are able to watch hunts, but to actually see one of Africa's Big Cats grab hold of something is very rare. Usually we watch them stalk, allowing the animals plenty of room, and keep the noise and lights to a minimum. Fortunately the prey animals at Kapama are just as used to us as the cats are and don't associate us with danger, so our impact on the success or failure of a hunt is minimal. Once they are in range or are in the perfect ambush spot it is just a question of patience. This can mean sitting for 2 minutes or half an hour until a sudden explosive rush and then a mad scramble through the bush by predator and prey at speeds that have to be seen to be believed. By the time we catch up with the action it is usually all over, one way or the other.
All that said, sometimes it just all comes together. So on a bright, clear summer afternoon we were able to watch a lioness stalk and kill a warthog in the open. The hapless warthog had no idea that its time was up and that the lioness had positioned herself perfectly ahead of its path. The grass was just so long after our summer rain that the Warthog simply did not see the lion until she walked within a meter of it. The lesson learned was that if you can't see where you're going, don't go there!
These pictures are stills taken off a video, and though not clear, tell the story better.

Why am I making a Petition for a game that not that many people in the US know about to be ported over to Wii U? Reasons below!
1: Touchpad could be used for the brush techniques by using a stylus and improved controls over the DS stylus controls in Okamiden. Making for a much better experiance than 'fake' drawing controlls like with the Wii controller or the PS3's Move.
2: Nintendo won't admit it, but they only ported the original to Wii for a quick buck.
3: The HD capabilities of Wii U will most likely never be used in a game except for enhancing colors and/or pre-rendered cutscenes.
4: The sales overseas would more than cover the lack of sales in the US.
5: Wii U exclusive content (exclusive carmic transformations, exclusive weapons etc) unlocked by meeting certain conditions in-game or with DLC. Could draw (pun not intended =_=) in new fans and old fans.
6: Fans want it, and the original was ported anyway as well so why the hell not?
If we can get enough fans to agree (500 - 1000 ?) maybe nintendo will listen, Nintendo does listen to fans and cooperate with them more politely (even if it's an automated email...) than others.

text: Description Suggest an Edit The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park (a.k.a. C&O Canal Towpath) follows the route of the Potomac River for 184.5 miles between Georgetown in Washington, D.C., and Cumberland, Maryland. Hundreds of original features, including locks, lock houses, aqueducts and other canal structures, are reminders of the canal's role as a transportation system during the Canal Era, which peaked in the mid-19th century. The C&O Canal Towpath was one such engineering feat that, unfortunately for investors, was largely outdone by the competing railroad that parallels the towpath in many places. Today, however, recreationists of all types can enjoy this mostly level, continuous trail through the spectacular scenery of the Potomac River valley. Every year millions of visitors hike or bike the C&O; peak season is from May through October. Weekends from spring through fall are busy, especially around Washington, D.C., and Great Falls National Park in Maryland. The trail provides campgrounds (both private and public), picnic areas, portable toilets and lookout points along the way. You'll also find amenities including cafes and restaurants, B&Bs and motels, bike shops, museums and retail shops, as well as enumerable historical sites. A handful of visitor centers operated by the National Park Service sell guidebooks and provide information about the towpath, its history and local points of interest. You can even stay the night in one a handful of restored lock houses (visit the National Park Service website for more information). Of particular importance is the role the canal itself played during the American Civil War as a dividing line between North and South. Troops on both sides of the conflict lobbed ammunitions across the water, crossing the river and canal numerous times to raid enemy camps, sabotage canal operations and march to and from battles, including the Gettysburg Campaign. Though many aren't marked, several sites along the canal were the scene of events both tragic and heroic. (Again, the National Park Service visitor centers sell books that relate these sites and events.) Most of the trail is heavily wooded, and river views are best during early spring, late fall and winter, when trees are leafless. Not to be missed, is the Paw Paw tunnel at mile post 155.2 at the northern end of the trail. Also, because the path requires regular maintenance, some sections may be closed for repairs. Visit the National Park Service website for current information on trail detours. From Cumberland, the trail connects to the Great Allegheny Passage where you can extend your ride all the way to Pittsburgh. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access Various sections of the towpath can be reached via Interstates 495, 70 and 68. To access the trail in Cumberland, visit the Cumberland Visitor Center at the Western Maryland Railway station. From the east, take exit 43C off I-68. At the bottom of the ramp, make a left onto Harrison St. and follow Harrison to the Visitor Center in the Western Maryland Railway Museum. To access the trail in Great Falls National Park from Maryland, take exit 41 (Carderock/Great Falls, MD) and follow Clara Barton Parkway to the end. At the stop sign, turn left onto MacArthur Blvd. Follow MacArthur approximately 3.5 miles into the park. There is a fee at the Great Falls National Park entrance to the C&O.

A Thunder first — a real streak
It took 61 games, but the Oklahoma City Thunder finally has itself a winning streak. Three previous times this year, the Thunder had won two consecutive games, but it could never count to three. In big-time sports vernacular, two straight victories do not a winning streak make. Thunder television play-by-play man Brian Davis calls two straight wins "a nice little run." The Thunder finally hit the trifecta with an 88-83 victory Wednesday night over the Washington Wizards inside the Ford Center. Sure, the Wizards stink, but it still counts. Given the Thunder's current health status, you're darn right it counts. Wednesday was a showdown between the only two NBA teams without a three-game winning streak this season. With starters Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson, Brendan Haywood, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Desmond Mason out with injuries for both teams, this one was a bit of an eye-sore. This was a night you needed a roster for both teams. You wondered who the players were and from whence they came. While the Thunder started little-known Kyle Weaver and Thabo Sefolosha, the Wizards countered with Andray Blatche, Darius Songaila and Dominic McGuire. (A free car wash to anyone able to name their places of origin.) The Thunder used the same starting lineup to beat the 14-46 Wizards that it used to beat the 36-23 Dallas Mavericks two nights earlier in the Ford Center. Ask Thunder coach Scott Brooks to explain a win, any win, and he'll relentlessly use the word "effort." Ask him to explain a loss, any loss, and he'll use the word again. "You can never be satisfied with your effort," Brooks said. "I think when you do that you have a tendency to relax." Brooks preaches the effort must remain constant, whether Durant, Green and Mason are in the lineup or in street clothes. "When you lose those kind of guys, it heightens the urgency a little bit," Weaver said. Plenty of NBA teams galvanize when they're shorthanded. The Thunder has done it wonderfully the last two games. That works vice versa, too. Three times earlier this year, the table was set for the Thunder to mop up on shorthanded teams of similar ilk — Golden State, the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento. In December, the Warriors were without Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette and won by 10 at the Ford Center. In January, the Clippers were without Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Zach Randolph and Chris Kaman and won by three at home. In February, the Kings were without Brad Miller and Beno Udrih and won by four in overtime at home. On Wednesday, the Thunder survived the battle of the shorthanded. "It reinforces that if you do things the right way, you have a good chance to win, no matter who's out there," said Thunder forward Nick Collison, who had 12 points, 10 rebounds and didn't miss a shot against the Wizards (5 for 5 from the field; 2 for 2 from the line). "Something like this proves that everybody in this league can play. A lot of this league is about opportunity." In what could have been a bleak time, lesser-known Thunder players have seized that opportunity. Don't look now, but the Thunder is 2-0 without Durant and Green in the lineup. Brooks joked those two players will have to earn their way back into the starting lineup once they're healthy. "Nah, that'd be a quick way to get my job outta here," said a smiling Brooks, flashing his thumb and gesturing like a baseball umpire. John Rohde: 475-3099. John Rohde can be heard Monday-Friday from 6-7 p.m. on The Sports Animal Network, including AM-640 and FM-98.1.

Celebrating Innocence: The Pattern of Possibility Revealed by the Immaculate Conception
O'Donovan, Leo J., National Catholic Reporter
When the world was smaller and time was shorter, we inevitably thought of life differently. And we told the world's story, as we told our own, differently too.
There was a beginning, a middle and an end. Individual figures--kings, heroes, prophets, priests--were seen as having the decisive influence. The individual life span and the cycle of seasons provided patterns for understanding existence individually and also communally. And if gods--or a god--appeared in our midst, they acted largely, though not of course entirely, according to such patterns. Yearly rituals sought to restore times of origin, of wholeness and of innocence. Then the stories of the gods were told as marvelous and liberating myths that centered life and gave it orientation.
But now we know that our small world spins in an almost unimaginably vast cosmos and that we are members of a human family numbering in the many billions. The final meaning of events--let alone history as a whole-is strangely difficult to discern. Our own consciousness, we know, hides us from ourselves. Whether professedly or simply in practice, we are all more or less accommodating pragmatists who make the most we can of our fragmentary time.
Let us recall, then, that when the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, Our Lady, was defined as belonging to the essence of our faith, the church still thought quite geocentrically and, in good part, mythologically, understanding the world and its search for salvation as played out on a three-dimensional landscape with heaven above and hell below. But for a century and more now the church, in good measure at least, has been struggling to recognize the fractured, pluralistic historical consciousness of the modern world. It has even, if you will, begun to think not only critically and historically, globally and interculturally, but even in terms of possibly multiple forms of consciousness in intergalactic space. The philosopher Blaise Pascal experienced the human condition as a tragic tension between greatness and misery; today this feels truer than ever.
In this new framework of understanding, with lonely human beings longing desperately for reasons to hope and trust, what may it mean to say that a young girl in ancient Palestine came suddenly--or perhaps gradually, it is hard (and ultimately not necessary) to say--came suddenly to the realization that despite all that was troubling and wrong around her, despite the meanness of neighbors, the hypocrisy of her people's leaders, the oppression of their Roman occupiers, despite all this--
God was with her and had always been and would forever be. …

Very flavourfull curry! Loved the mince meat in it.
What a lovely dish Syd. We really enjoyed this unique curry. What a great blending of flavors. I never would have thought that the mincemeat would work so well, Kudos on an excellent recipe. Thanks so much for sharing another Winner!
This was outstanding! So quick, so simple, and so delicious! The flavours all came together perfectly, and it was finished off with the fresh cilantro! I had to use fruit chutney in place of the mincemeat, but that was my olny alteration. Thanks for a great recipe! [Made for PRMR]
One of the best curries I have ever tasted! If not the best come to think of it. I almost skipped the minced meat bc I thought I wasnt going to be able to find it but low and behold I saw it with the Thanksgiving stuff and snatched it up! Im so glad I did bc it really adds something amazing! Mincemeat is like spices apples or something and it goes perfectly with the flavors!
Great curry - and fast and easy, too. The mincemeat really makes this good, imo - lots of interesting flavours happening. I also liked how the cream blended and 'rounded' out the flavours. Thanks!
This recipe was just amazing:) It wasn't too hot, just the right amount of heat for us. A very flavorful curry that is definitely a keeper for me! Thanks so much for sharing this yummy dish. Made this for Spring PAC 2008.
Thanks for such a wonderful recipe. The flavors blended so well together. I garnished with toasted cashew pieces.Served with brown rice and steamed broccoli. I stock up on mincemeat when on sale during the holidays. I am looking forward to trying all your other recipes using mincemeat. Thanks for sharing this one and all the others.
Excellent! I had concerns re the sweetness of the curry with the addition of the mincemeat but it's just a subtle hint in the background of flavours. This is not an overly hot or spiced curry and no one ingredient overpowers the others. Thanks, Sydney Mike, for a great meal :)

The 25-acre Tempe Beach Park is adjacent to the Tempe Town Lake. Many special events are held there, including Iron Man competitions, concerts and community festivals. I heard that the 4th of July fireworks are spectacular. There is a Splash Playground for kids. The historic baseball field is used for youth softball and carnival games. The amphitheater holds 5,000 people. Rio Lago Cruise Company has a boat concession. You can tell that it gets crowded sometimes, since you may reserve a picnic table for $10.
Directions: North end of Mill Avenue
View to the North
The top of Hayden's Butte is a great vantage point. To the north is Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park. To the east is Sun Devil Stadium. To the south is Arizona State University and the Mill Avenue District. To the west is Hayden's Mill, the new Tempe performing arts center and downtown Phoenix.
Hayden's Butte
Hayden's Butte is also called Tempe Butte or A Mountain. It was inhabited by the Hohokam people and petroglyphs, pot sherds, scrapers, and metate have been found there. The area just west of the butte was settled in the 1870's and called Hayden's Ferry, after the ferry crossing the Salt River which flows just north of the butte. The area looks like Vale of Tempe near Mount Olympus in Greece, thus Tempe's name. The elevation difference from bottom to top is about 350 feet. Many people hike or jog up the Leonard Monti Trail to get a good workout.
View to the North
The south mountain area is about a 30 minute drive from Tempe. Dobbins Lookout at 2330 feet elevation gives a great view of metropolitan Phoenix and the sunset. Remember that no alcohol is allowed and it is strictly enforced.
View from Hole-in-the-Rock
Just across the river from the Mill Avenue District is Papago Park with many choices for things to do within its 1200 acres. Located between Tempe and Phoenix it is amazingly convenient to get away from the "city." The park is actually owned by Phoenix. Once an Indian reservation for the Maricopa and Pima tribes, and a German prisoner of war camp during World War II, Papago is now a stunning urban desert park with red rock formations and giant saguaro cacti. It has numerous picnic sites with ramadas, tables, grills, water and electricity. The park also contains fishing lagoons and bike paths as well as a zoo, a botanical garden, fire museum and a golf course. Two well known landmarks are in the park: Hole-In-The-Rock, a natural geologic formation called a tafoni; and Hunt's Tomb, the white pyramid burial place of Arizona's first governor.
Rabbit Fountain
The Mill Avenue District has many examples of public art. They definitely enhance your stroll to go shopping or out to eat. Kids especially love the Rabbit Fountain.
Directions: All along Mill Avenue and the adjacent park areas
Fountains and Sculptures on ASU Side
The Mill Street District has many park areas just off the street. They are pleasant oases in an urban area.
Directions: Adjoining Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe

Specialized unveils plenty of flashy carbon bikes and parts, and also introduces a few stunning less-expensive models.. —Selene Yeager and Mike Yozell
Best of the Big Red S
S-Works Ruby
7 / 13
The revised Ruby now bears S-Works branding, showing it to be the high-end equivalent of the men's S-Works Roubaix SL4. The Ruby is built from the same FACT 11r carbon as the Roubaix, but the frame's triple monocoque construction technique means that the frame uses less material without sacrificing any strength. The Ruby uses Specialized's Zertz viscoelastic dampers in the fork and seat stays to help dampen bumps in the road. Specialized intended to sell the bike with Shimano's newest electronic group, Dura-Ace 9000, but may switch to mechanical Dura-Ace, if the electronic parts are not available in time to ship the bike. Other component highlights include Shimano WH-9000-C24-TL tubeless wheels, and the new Cobl-Gobl-R seatpost. Specialized also tweaked the geometry, slackening the seat tube angle on some frame sizes, and adjusted the stack and reach on others to help the bike better fit more women. Available in five sizes, from 44cm to 57cm. Prices are not yet available.

The EU has a target for the average new passenger car to emit less than 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre (g CO2/km) by 2015. Within this overall target individual manufacturers have specific targets, calculated using the average mass of their fleet. This means that the vehicle fleet can stay diversified by allowing higher emissions from heavier cars than from lighter vehicles.
The targets will be gradually phased in to apply to an increasing proportion of cars - 65 % of the fleet is taken into account for 2012 targets, rising to 100 % in 2015. Manufacturers have a long-term target of 95 g CO2/km by 2020.
According to EU legislation, manufacturers can pool their fleets to receive a collective target, and smaller manufacturers can apply for special derogations. In 2011, 20 derogations were granted and all declared pools were in line with the estimated 2012 targets.
Next year the EEA will publish data showing whether the targets were met in 2012. If carmakers do not meet the targets, they will have to pay 'excess emissions premiums'.
"Some carmakers have made deep efficiency improvements in recent years, showing what is possible," EEA Executive Director Jacqueline McGlade said. "However, the transport sector needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 68 % between 2010 and 2050. This objective cannot be met with technical improvements alone, it will also require a significant reduction in transport demand and a shift to greener transport modes."
Above: Distance to 2012 target by individual manufacturers in 2011 (only manufacturers registering >100 000 vehicles in Europe).
In 2013 EEA will collect and analyse for the first time Co2 emission from vans under the Regulation 510/2011.
Monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars - Manual]]>
Although air pollution has decreased over the last two decades, it is still a major problem in many areas. 'Euro standards' for vehicles have not succeeded in reducing real NO2 emissions to the levels set out in the legislation although they have made substantial improvements to air quality overall.
Increasing transport of goods is also leading to poor air quality. Freight was one of the main causes of the high levels of NO2. Increased shipping over the last two decades has also meant that emissions of acid rain-causing sulphur oxides have only decreased 14 % since 1990, despite major efficiency improvements.
Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said: "One of the big challenges of the 21st Century will be to mitigate the negative effects of transport – greenhouse gases, air pollution and noise – while ensuring positive aspects of mobility. Europe can take the lead by intensifying its work in the area of technological innovation in electric mobility. Such change could transform inner city living."
In addition, the long-term reduction of emissions has been influenced by an increasing uptake of diesel cars, an ongoing trend which continued in 2011. The gap between average CO2 emissions of new diesel and petrol vehicles has been narrowing in recent years – in 2011 it was just 3.2g CO2/km. In 2011, 55.2 % of the vehicles registered in 2011 in Europe were diesel vehicles, an increase from 51.3% in 2010.
Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the EEA said: "We can see new cars becoming more efficient year-on-year – a good example of regulation helping industry to make real improvements. It is also encouraging to see sales of electric cars starting to climb."
In the EU, CO2 emissions from road transport have increased by 23 % between 1990 and 2010, becoming responsible for approximately one fifth of the EU's total emissions. In order to cut greenhouse gas emissions from transport, carmakers have a collective target for the average car sold in the EU to emit a maximum of 130g CO2/km by 2015 and 95g CO2/km by 2020. Last year the EEA reported that manufacturers had some distance to go to meet the 2015 target. However, on present trends, the industry as a whole is on track to meeting the 2015 CO2 target.
The preliminary figures will now be verified by car manufacturers before they are confirmed by the European Commission later this year.

For the second year, EEA has collected Member States' data on passenger cars registrations, in accordance with the Regulation 443/2009, and collated them in a database which covers all passenger vehicles registered in Europe in 2011.
Data collected includes information on CO2 emissions and mass of the vehicles, reported by all Member States in order to evaluate the performance of the new vehicle fleet towards the CO2 emission target (130g CO2/km by 2015).
According to Article 8 of the Regulation 443/2009, Member States must submit information to the European Commission for each new passenger car registered on their territory. There were some late submissions this year, although the EEA has noted improvements in the data submitted for some Member States.]]>

Butternut squash can be a bit intimidating. However, I discovered that our Costco carries pre-cut butternut squash (woo hoo!), which makes my life just a little bit easier.
Pin it for later!
Here is an amazing recipe that everyone will love! The pinch of red pepper flakes makes this dish just a little extra special. =)
- 1 lb butternut squash, cubed (I bought it pre-cut from Costco)
- couple TBSP coconut oil
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt/pepper to taste
- Heat oil in skillet over high heat, add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook 10-12 minutes, stirring only a couple times, until squash is tender and crisp-brown on the outside. Enjoy!

My programming career kinda started in 2001 when I learned the basics of programming in MatLab at my very first job.
After that I took one semester of computer science class, where I got to learn some Scheme and Java.
After that I learned PHP on my own, and was a hobby programmer of PHP based websites for a long time.
In 2009 I was lucky to get a position at my current company's marketing department, where my time is split between web development and things like writing copy and proofreading.
Fortunately, I've been doing less and less of the former, and by now, most days are spent doing what I love the most.
While I have so far been working almost exclusively with web based applications, I am learning some C# and Objective-C too.

Tupac Shakur: Brilliant Artist or Hypocritical Enigma?
5/29/2008 12:39pm EDT
Google Plus
Stumble Upon
He's alive. Everywhere. You can hear his unmistakable voice as a car careens down the street in your neighborhood. You can feel his passion as someone with an iPod and headphones amps up their music next to you on the train. And you know the impact he left on a generation when you see his image plastered on someone's clothing at the local mall.
On June 16th, 2008,
Tupac Shakur
would have turned thirty-seven years old. Unfortunately, the rapper-actor passed almost away twelve years ago on September 13th, 1996 after he was shot multiple times on the Las Vegas strip six days prior. Though many mourned, and others fell into denial, his death brought martyrdom. Like other artists who met an untimely demise, Tupac looms far larger in death than in life. While alive, the young rap star was accused of rape and the destruction of civilized society; in death he has become the poster child for the exuberant expression of those without a voice, especially in the black community.
While certainly gifted and no doubt beloved, it is also entirely fair to dissect the work of Tupac. Both in life and in death, many take issue with his complexity. How can a young man of such intelligence, charm, and vision appear so utterly conflicted and, frankly, contradictory? In one song, "Keep Ya Head Up," Tupac implores women to be strong in the wake of deadbeat dads, abusers, and insurmountable odds. It's as much an anthem for women as it is a call for men to take care of their responsibilities inside the family unit. On the track, Tupac wonders, "And since we all came from a woman/Got our name from a woman/And our game from a woman/I wonder why we take from our women/Why we rape our women/Do we hate our women?" In many songs, though, one could argue Tupac did indeed hate women. In "All About U," a track in which Tupac discusses groupies and music video girls, his references to women include the terms "hoochie," "bitch," and "ho."
2pac Talks About Being Nice To Girls
It would not be fair, though, to place Tupac into a small box of judgment, nor is it reasonable to write him off as "just another rapper." He was far more exceptional and much more multifaceted. He was wise beyond his years, yet frivolous and disturbed. With the hopes and goals of a better future yet the constant premonition of his own death, Tupac Amaru Shakur is a man whose life and message require deep examination.
To understand who Tupac was, it is imperative to know where he came from. His parents, Billy Garland and Afeni Shakur, were both members of the Black Panther Party in 1970 when they met. A year earlier, Afeni was out on bail for multiple felonies, including conspiracy charges to bomb New York landmarks. At this time, Afeni dated both Billy and a low level gangster known only as "Legs." Born on June 16th, 1971, Tupac was named after an Incan revolutionary who led an indigenous uprising against Spain. After a few years, Billy faded from the picture and Tupac would not know of his true biological father until 1994. Constantly moving, and sometimes living in homeless shelters, Tupac came to believe that Legs was his real father. At age twelve, a young Tupac was enrolled in a Harlem theater group in which he acted in a performance of A Raisin in the Sun. Around the same time, Legs-who is said to have been connected to New York kingpin Nicky Barnes-had introduced Afeni to crack, an addiction that haunted her for years.
Afeni moved to Baltimore in 1986, where Tupac would soon begin his foray into poetry and rap. When Afeni called Legs to inform him on their whereabouts, she was informed that he had died of a crack-induced heart attack. In a 1996 Rolling Stone cover story about Tupac's life and death, writer Kevin Powell had interviewed Tupac prior to that fateful night in Las Vegas. Tupac said of Legs' death, "I couldn't even cry, man. I felt I needed a daddy to show me the ropes, and I didn't have one." There's no doubt that Tupac implemented his pain and anger into his music. On the track "Dear Mama" Tupac aches as he sings of his assumed father, "He passed away and I didn't cry/…They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless/But all along I was looking for a father, he was gone."
At age 17, Tupac's family moved to Marin City, California. It was here where his life would change dramatically. Tupac wouldn't finish high school, and got caught up in selling drugs and hustling on the streets. His relationship with his mother would rapidly deteriorate. Friends on the street became his surrogate family and Tupac would begin his rap career in 1989 when he met Shock-G, the leader of Digital Underground.
Though involved in rap music, Tupac also had a hunger for knowledge. He was very well-read, having read books by Niccolò Machiavelli, Sun Tzu's The Art of War and other works of political philosophy and strategy. Renowned scholar and often called a "hip-hop intellectual," Dr. Michael Eric Dyson's book on Tupac titled "Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur," discusses the rapper's voracious appetite for information. Dyson explains, "Tupac helped to combat the anti-intellectualism in rap, a force, to be sure, that pervades the entire community" (99).
Tupac used his book smarts and street smarts to speak to a generation who felt that they were on the periphery of America. He also expressed the sheer frustration of being fed up with a seemingly broken government system. This was highly evident on his first solo album, 2Pacalypse Now. This 1991 disc was a militant charged rebuke to society at large. In "Words of Wisdom," Tupac sounds as if he's delivering a sermon from the pulpit as he preaches, "This is for the masses, the lower classes/The ones you left out/Jobs were givin', better livin'/But we were kept out/Made to feel inferior, but we're superior/Break the chains in our brains that made us fear ya/Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us/Honor a man who refuses to respect us/Emancipation, Proclamation, please!/Lincoln just said that to save the nation." On the incensed track "I Don't Give a F*ck," Tupac voices his displeasure at being stereotyped by both police officers and segments of White America at large, as he raps, "Walked in the store, what's everybody staring at/They act like they never seen a mutha f-cka wearing black/Following a nigga and shit/Ain't this a bitch/All I wanted was some chips/I wanna take my business elsewhere/But where?/Cause who in the hell cares/About a black man with a black need/They wanna jack me like some kind of crack fiend."
Though Tupac rightfully despised prejudice and violence towards his own people, he seemed to have no problem feeding into the stereotypical narrative of the young black male. On the same album as the insightful "Words of Wisdom" is the livid track "Violent." No doubt inspired by personal experiences and his close family ties to the Black Panther Party, "Violent" comes across as justification for waging a gun battle against cops. At the start of the track, Tupac states, "They claim that I'm violent, just 'cause I refuse to be silent/These hypocrites are havin' fits, cause I'm not buyin' it/Defyin' it, envious because I will rebel against/Any oppressor, and this is known as self defense." As the song progresses, Tupac tells the story of being unjustly assaulted by police officers. By the end of the song, Tupac's mind is made up-it will be an all out war. Tupac raps, "But I looked up, and all I saw was blue lights/If I die tonight, I'm dyin' in a gunfight/I grabbed the AK, my homie took the 12 gauge/Load 'em up quick, it's time for us to spray/We'll shoot 'em up with they own f-ckin' weapons/And when we through sprayin', then we steppin'/This is a lesson to the rednecks and crooked cops/You f-ck with real niggaz, get ya f-ckin ass dropped."
But Tupac wasn't just some dumb rapper. He was one of the very few mainstream artists who, to put it simply, "got it." With that in mind, why would he put such a track on his album? Did Tupac feel violence was a necessary evil, or was it just that he was expressing his emotions? If he was so upset at how some segments of White America, especially those in authoritative positions, viewed Black America, why would he willingly feed into the "Thug Life" stereotype rather than rise above it? Vibhu Chandrashekhar, a frequent contributor to the Tupac Shakur online community at makaveli-board.net, has similar questions as he states, "It's unfathomable how someone of 'Pac's depth and intelligence could manage to get roped in by the gangsta image. How could someone so pensive and so cerebral become the icon for late 1990's gangsta rap? In hindsight, we can all say it was possible for him to get out of the thug lifestyle, but no one will know for sure what he could have achieved."

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Not a bug
Component/s: lang.moodle.org
When translating looking at a Moodle context, for example a block settings, some strings may appear in English language since they are not translated yet. Strings seen in the same context may come form several language component (think at the course settings page).
When a untranslated string appears in a Moodle context but is taken from a component different from the component currently in translation, would be very useful to have a tool allowing direct string search and related component in the English language pack.
Such a tool would be very good for in-context translation, which is much better than direct component translation. I think would suffice a flag close to "Substring" search field; when checked, Substring search could return component(s) where strings is contained as well as strings.

Well, you can just select all components and type a substring phrase into the filter and it should work as requested, right? If not, can you please elaborate more on the expected functionality?

Sometimes rumored names are just that, mentioned in passing, never to be heard of again. But Gal Gadot has been on the tip of tongues for at least a month now, and now she's getting the role of a lifetime.
Warner Bros. has announced that the actress has landed the role of Wonder Woman in "Batman Vs. Superman." Gadot is likely best known for her role as Gisele in the "Fast & Furious," "Fast Five" and "Fast & Furious 6" but she also appeared in "Knight & Day" so consider her tentpole experience verified.
Of course, the extent and details of her role will be kept quiet until Zack Sndyer and co. want you to know, but considering that Lex Luthor, Nightwing and Doomsday are already rumored for this sequel, this one is going to have a lot folks elbowing for room. Variety adds you can probably expect "several members of the Justice League" to make appearances in the film, while Callan Mulvey ("Zero Dark Thirty," "300: Rise of the Empire") is being eyed for the (unnamed) villain.
"Batman Vs. Superman"arrives on July 17, 2015.

.- Catholics in parishes throughout the United States can contribute to the efforts of their brothers and sisters in the Archdiocese of New Orleans and the Diocese of Biloxi, two areas severely damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita one year ago. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops hopes their program "Rebuild Church, Rebuild Hope," will offer tremendous support from parishes and dioceses throughout the U.S.
The program gains its name from a statement by Biloxi Bishop Thomas Rodi, who proclaimed to the bishops of the United States that to "rebuild the Church is to rebuild hope itself."
In their statement on the collection the USCCB states that, "these two dioceses, so devastated by the ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, are still in a state of unimaginable need. Collections in 2005 right after the hurricanes focused on immediate humanitarian relief, and only scratched the surface of the needs involved."
"This special collection on August 26-27 focuses on rebuilding churches, schools, and other essential parts of the parishes' infrastructure which are needed to rebuild people's hope. Rebuilding the Church and her structures is critically important now, as many civil jurisdictions declare that they are no longer able to assist those who were displaced by the 2005 hurricanes, and will be unable to do so in the future."
The USCCB noted that other individuals or those who can not be at Mass over the weekend of August 26-27 can drop their donations off at any Catholic Parish office. Donations should be placed in an envelope and labeled "Rebuild Church, Rebuild Hope."
For further information see the USCCB "Rebuild Church, Rebuild Hope" website.

Hoyt Davis (letter to the editor, Feb. 18) correctly identifies the Supreme Court's decision to prevent the government from banning corporate or union political spending in candidate elections as writing "a new law." This decision takes away rights from the individual and gives them to large and powerful organizations.
However, he then goes off the deep end by saying that "We can look forward to more of these types of decisions in the coming years if President Obama gets to appoint another Supreme Court justice." The four justices who dissented in this decision were appointed by Presidents Ford, Clinton and Obama. The five justices who supported this decision were appointed by Presidents Reagan, Geroge H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Obama, in his State of the Union address (with the justices sitting just a few feet away) said that "the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign companies - to spend without limit in our elections."
Blaming President Obama for this decision is ludicrous and shows that people are just not paying attention!
All you Tea Partiers and birthers need to turn off "Faux" News, get your information from reliable sources and think for yourselves!

On Tuesday, the PGA of America announced it will conduct the 2015 Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid at the Pete Dye Golf Course in French Lick.
This championship is the most prestigious in all of senior golf, and the announcement commanded much attention.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joined me and Jeff Fettig, CEO of Whirlpool, and Steve Ferguson, chairman of the Cook Group and president of French Lick Resorts, in making the announcement.
It was truly a historic day for French Lick, which hosted the 1924 PGA Championship won by the legendary Walter Hagen.
Over the years, French Lick has amassed an impressive resume of top-flight golf events. Those include the Midwest Amateur, LPGA Championship, PGA Professional National Championship and the Big Ten Men's and Women's Championships.
For Pete Dye, it will be another major championship in his already impressive design portfolio. The Indiana native has many great courses to his credit. None is more breathtaking than the Dye course at French Lick, which is on top of one of the state's highest elevations.
This course will challenge the best senior players in the world in a variety of ways.
Indiana's weather in late May can change in a hurry — several times in one day, as a matter of fact. Wind promises to be a factor at French Lick, and it could blow in two or three different directions during the four rounds of the Senior PGA.
Just when players think they have this place figured out, they won't. The elevation changes of the property will add to the drama. It is guaranteed players will either like or hate this place.
Kerry Haigh is the chief championships officer for the PGA.
He handled the course setup in 2010 when 312 club professionals invaded French Lick and West Baden.
Mike Small, golf coach at the University of Illinois, won the event with a score of 10 under par. Small carved out a 65 during one of those rounds to set the course record. So, the place can be had, and Haigh will make sure French Lick is fair as well as challenging.
Tuesday was a very special day for Ferguson. In many ways it was the culmination of a dream, which was to bring a major golf championship to southern Indiana.
Ferguson has been the father of French Lick in many ways. He secured the blessings and finances from the late Bill Cook to complete the total restoration of French Lick's hotels and golf courses. Estimates indicate this has been at least a $500 million project.
Between the West Baden Hotel and French Lick Springs Resort, more than 600 hotel rooms await visitors. The '24 PGA was held at the Donald Ross Course, previously known to many as the Hill Course. It has also been redone, and there is no better 36-hole facility in the Midwest than French Lick.
When Ferguson contacted Dye about building another course in French Lick in 2005, Pete wasn't sure he could even do it on the property available. Ferguson will smile and tell you it was good to know Pete let him know that before he started building it.
Dye, whom has done many philanthropic golf course design projects, has unfortunately been tagged with the label "that given an unlimited budget, he can exceed it." Upon walking and mentally surveying the property, Dye reached out to Ferguson and arranged a luncheon meeting.
Pete informed him that a golf course could be built, but Ferguson would need to acquire the mansion and acreage that sat on the highest point of the property. Otherwise, no golf course would be possible. This mansion is now the current clubhouse at the Pete Dye Course, as Ferguson was able to acquire it from the landowner for a reasonable price.
Dye immediately went to work and created a true masterpiece. From the time the project started until it was finished, Ferguson had no idea what Dye was charging for the design fee. Dye once joked, "If you don't like what I build, then don't pay me."
Finally in the fall of 2008, Alice Dye called Ferguson's office in Bloomington and said Pete needed to be paid now because we just elected a new president and she knew taxes were going to increase. When Ferguson called Pete to find out the price, Dye said, "Now, why would Alice call you and ask for that?"
Ferguson had researched Dye's normal design fee and shot him a number. Pete responded, "I think that's too much."
Too which Ferguson coyly said, "Well, Pete, I will be happy to underpay you for your work."
The two eventually agreed on price and payment terms. Since then they have entered into a consulting agreement that allows Dye to keep his fingerprints on French Lick. That costs Ferguson $1 per year. Dye's expenses are still unclear to Ferguson on whether Pete expects to be reimbursed.
In 2015, the Senior PGA will be televised for 12 hours, reaching 130 countries and 430 million households. These numbers raised the eyebrows of the governor when it comes to exposure for Indiana and its tourism.
This year's Senior PGA field consisted of 122 players representing 35 states. Thirty-four international players came from 18 countries. In addition, this year's field included five former PGA champions, eight U.S. and European Ryder Cup captains, as well as seven members of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Ferguson is a big-picture guy. He had the determination, vision, leadership and courage to resurrect French Lick and looks forward to bringing this major event to Orange County and southern Indiana.
It was a very special day for Ferguson, no doubt. But it was a bigger day for French Lick and Indiana. This was a proud day to be a Hoosier.

Dare to Be You
Tonight, Verve Stamps is releasing six new sets. Join us at 9 pm in the member company forum for our May Release Party. In the meantime, have you seen the sneak peeks so far on the Verve blog? Be sure to check out the projects and leave comments each day for chances to win new stamps of your very own.
Before I get to my card details, I also want to make sure you know about the sketch challenge and special guest contest. Julee has created one of her awesome sketches, and if you can get something made by 5 pm eastern time, you could be one of five random winners who will receive a Verve set of her choice.
In addition, participants in the sketch challenge are also eligible for a chance to be Verve's Special Guest Diva for our June release. The deadline for that part isn't until 10 pm Tuesday, May 26. You'll find all the details HERE in the Verve Forum.
Okay, so a few words about my project. Here's the little blurb I wrote for the Verve blog:
I'm especially excited to preview Up, Up & Away! A while back I was browsing home decor catalogs when a trio of hot air balloon wall hangings caught my eye. There was something so sweet and magical about the balloons, and, as we stampers so often do, I thought "wouldn't that make a cute stamp?" I shared the idea with the Divas, and Julee ran with it. I don't know how she does it, but once again, she's created a set with the perfect balance between whimsy and elegance. I couldn't be happier with "my" hot air balloons! This set will be perfect for so many occasions - congratulations, pick-me-up, encouragement, even baby and travel. The other set we're previewing today is Dare to Be You. The title sentiment, Dare to Be You, jumped out at me as a fantastic message for a new graduate. Paired with the balloons, it makes a great send-off for someone entering "the real world"! If only life were always blue skies and smooth sailing (or should I say smooth floating?). I hope you'll fall for these two sets every bit as much as I have!
That's it for now - I'm saving the rest of my projects for the party. Hope to see you there! Don't forget to swing by the Verve Blog to see the rest of the previews!
[Edited to Add: I forgot to thank my friend Gretchen for inspiring me to pull out my ghost shapes again! I love how she added one to her ribbon/button treatment on this card! Thanks Gretchen!!]

How neat that you gave the idea of having a balloon set. Such an original idea for stamps. Your layout rocks. I'm one of your silent stalkers, and am feeling chatty today. This card really pops out of the screen!ReplyDelete

Amy you definitely are a master creator of cards. Every card that your create is such an inspiration to those of us who admire your work. I always love your colour choices and your embellishments. As a newbie to the world of stamping I definitely love your style!ReplyDelete
