Part of my whole "get organized" plan is to tie up all those loose ends. I realized I had some pictures from my Thanksgiving trip to LA that I've wanted to share...no time like the present! Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with every detail of the trip - just sharing a few pretty things I found that I think you might enjoy as well.t
First, these gorgeous pressed glass cake stands. I lost the card with the name of the shop but it's right on Abott Kinney in Venice - next to Intelligentsia for you LA folks. If anyone is dying to know the place let me know and I'll do a more thorough search.
The above image is of one of the display windows. Doesn't it just beckon you to go and see more? I did and I'm glad. I was in my happy place.
The unbelievable part is that I managed to walk through this store (multiple times even) without breaking anything. I'm a bit of a klutz. Fortunately, I was carrying a small cross-body bag that helped keep me out of trouble. I should mention I had a run-in the same week with a reindeer display at the grocery store. I knocked poor Rudolph right over and let's just say Eric, an associate at the store, was not happy when he got paged for reindeer triage. He looked at me and then at my big ole' bag and I just felt shame. I felt the urge to express my annoyance with Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving but I bit my tongue. I don't think it would help the situation. I digress....
Back to the glass...The lemon colored pieces were stunning, unfortunately the pic is not.
Don't you want one of each one?
Later that week I hit H.D. Buttercup with my sis (love that place). My favorite part was the display of lights by Cisco Home.
I want them all. And, the large farm table. And, the two chairs behind. And, this phenomenal lavender bed I saw in the back. And...do you see a theme? It's a dangerous place to visit. Just be warned .
Finally, I found these precious blown glass bud vases that resemble my favorite Christmas ornaments. Perfect gifts for those December birthdays and pretty all year long. These stunners are at Floral Art (again on Abbott Kinney).
In other non-glass related events, the new Kelly Werstler shop had just opened when I was in town. We were grabbing dinner down the street (Melrose this time - we did venture off Abott Kinney). It was closed but I took a few shots through the windows because I thought the displays were great and very Kelly.
I mean, who doesn't want to see a woman standing on a large head?!
Oh, the restaurant we ate at down the street from KW's shop was Red O. Fantastic Mexican cuisine that is not super easy to find for those of us on the east coast. I had to keep myself from ordering multiples of the cucumber mint margaritas. YUM.
I enjoyed my little trip down memory lane. Hope I didn't bore you to tears. Thanks for indulging me!

GENERIC NAME: vardenafil
BRAND NAME: Levitra, Staxyn ODT
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Vardenafil is an oral drug that is used to treat impotence, the inability to attain or maintain a penile erection. It has a mechanism of action that is similar to sildenafil (Viagra), and tadalafil (Cialis). Penile erection is caused by the engorgement of the penis with blood. This engorgement occurs when the blood vessels delivering blood to the penis increase in size and increase the delivery of blood to the penis. At the same time, the blood vessels carrying blood away from the penis decrease in size and decrease the removal of blood from the penis. Sexual stimulation that leads to the engorgement and erection causes the production and release of nitric oxide in the penis. Nitric oxide then activates the enzyme, guanylate cyclase to produce cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). The cGMP is primarily responsible for increasing and decreasing the size of the blood vessels carrying blood to and from the penis, respectively. Vardenafil prevents an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) from destroying cGMP so that cGMP persists longer. The longer cGMP persists, the more prolonged the engorgement of the penis. Vardenafil was approved by the FDA in August 2003.

CLEARWATER -- The dolphin who gained national fame because of her prosthetic tail is in training for her upcoming movie role.
Winter will be playing herself in "A Dolphin's Tale," which begins filming Sept. 27.
In the meantime, she's learning new behaviors at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which has been set up with moving making equipment to get Winter accustomed before shooting begins. Trainers are also tossing props her way to get her used to scenes required in the film.
Most of the film will be shot at the aquarium. A robotic dolphin double will be used for scenes Winter can't do.
The movie will star Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr. and Ashley Judd. It'll tell the story of an 11-year-old boy who befriends an injured dolphin and helps her get an artificial tail.

The key to riding a bicycle in winter, Yvonne Bambrick confides, is tissues.
"Some people do the, what do they call it, snot rockets. Yuck." She digs into her purse in the front basket of her bicycle to reveal a pale blue silk pouch, brimming with Kleenex. "Do you want one?"
We blow our noses, then shuffle our bikes onto the snowy-icy margin of an Annex street. Bambrick is the face of cycling in the city, Toronto's lone paid lobbyist for bikers. And she is teaching me how to ride with confidence in winter.

It's Thursday afternoon as I write this … very early Thursday morning for the majority of my readers. The Philippines never 'caught on' to Thanksgiving the way we have in the US. It is not a holiday here … except for the US Embassy and other offices connected with the US Federal government, and although you can buy turkeys here they are not popular at all.
But I have a heck of a lot to be thankful for and here is one of the things near the top of my list:
Just a partial day's worth of my worldwide readers. You make it all worthwhile and I thank you all. Happy Thanksgiving. And for those of you not in the US, I give you full permission to borrow our holiday and use it in the best way you see fit. Amen.

Sorry if i don't make any senses, bad grammar or spelling since I've been up all night since 3am this morning trying to get my Win2k3 Standard R2 server to work.
I did some Windows update around 3am this morning but during the update process. I lost Remote desktop connection as my machine is do several attempts to connect with the remote server. I cancel the attempt after several try. I figure i can remote desktop back in again if i wait for a bit but I couldn't re-establish the connection with my remote server. So, I drove to the Datacenter to check it out and it turn out the machine have rebooted and I'm stuck with "NTDetect failed" error message. After some googling, I was trying to fix this error by copying NTLDR and NTDetect.COM into C: but when i tried to use the Win2k3 CD to go into Windows Setup and repair. I got an error message telling me that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer...".
After some googling, I found the two Maxtor SATA hard disks might be the problem and one soultion that i found was to disable the SATA or set it to IDE since the motherboard have nvida RAID controller onboard. I check the BIOS and the RAID is set to disabled and then i tried to disable SATA and only enable IDE. It still give me the same error message about not able to find any hard disk.
I'm on my last rope here. I'm short of reformatting the hard disk and do a fresh reinstall but I will like to avoid this.
Does anyone know if cancel Remote desktop connection attempt during Windows update process cause this NTdetect failed problem or something else that might related to my hardware. I can assure you that two SATA hard disks shown on BIOS.
The soultion to NTDecte failed problem seem to be just copying NTLDR and NTdectect.com into C:\ but since i can't even get to Repair mode during Windows setup with no disk install error. Can someone recommand how to solve this problem?
The motherboard that i use is ASUS M2N-MX SE AM2 NVIDIA GeForce6100 / nForce430 and the BIOS is American Megatrends Inc.
update: I was trying to use Ubuntu live CD to copy over NTDLR and NTDECTEC.com files onto my C drive but live CD failed due to some Emask error on hard disk. I was thinking the server is probably gone and as last effort I try to run the Windows recovery console again and this time it find the hard disk and i was able to copy those two files over.
My server live once but when i got home I can't remote desktop into my server but as far as everything else goes. It seem to be fine. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot remote desktop issue?

Last week saw a horde of librarians descend on Brisbane for ALIAAccess. This is the conference you have when you are not having an IFLA conference. Some of us were unable to attend, although we enjoyed the tweets, or had a left-behind party to console ourselves.
The tweets were great, but I'm ready for some more substantial reflections on the event. I put out a tweet this morning and got a few links which led to:
- ADHD Librarian — My (first) library camp reflections and ALIA Access day one part one session one part one one one and ALIA Access tour day
- Bruce's Friday Distractions Bulletin — My take on ALIAAccess – Librarycats
- the-Story Space — #ALIAAccess 2010 Brisbane
And of course Kim Tairi posted here at Libraries Interact on Day 1 on Information Literacy session.
Please add a link to your blog post in the comments when you publish your blog posts. I'm looking forward to reading them.
On a side note, it was interesting revisiting the comments back when the Brisbane IFLA event was cancelled. A call out to those who commented back then, and attended ALIAAccess2010. How did the alternative event measure up to some of the ideas that were floated back then?

President of United Republic of Tanzania visits Wearside to help kick off new project.
Sunderland AFC has further strengthened its links with the African continent by committing to a ground-breaking football partnership with the country of Tanzania.
The partnership will see the club lend its expertise to the creation of a football academy programme in the country, which will be developed by global electricity giant Symbion Power.
The club will provide technical and practical support to the development of the football academy project, the first of its kind in the country. The project will see thousands of youngsters benefit from a joined-up approach combining football, education and community engagement, harnessing the knowledge and expertise of Sunderland AFC and its own successful Academy.
The first phase of the development will see the building of a community football facility in Dar es Salaam, followed by the next phase, which will see the creation of an elite academy programme and facilities, to support Tanzania in the development of young footballers.
To kick off the partnership, Sunderland AFC was honoured to welcome a delegation from Tanzania to the club, headed by His Excellency Dk. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania and Paul Hinks, CEO of Symbion Power.
The delegation met with senior club officials and city leaders, including SAFC Chairman Ellis Short and CEO Margaret Byrne, enjoying a tour of Sunderland's 49,000 capacity home, the Stadium of Light, and state of the art Academy of Light training facility.
During the visit the Tanzanian delegation also saw some of the ground-breaking work of the club's charity, Foundation of Light, widely recognised as the blue print for football community engagement in the United Kingdom.
Paul Hinks, CEO of Symbion Power said: "I've been doing business in Tanzania since 1982 and today Symbion Power is its largest US investor and its largest independent power producer.
"As in the UK and countries across Europe, Tanzania is a nation blessed with an abundance of football talent. However, there is a lack of training resources. The collaboration between Symbion and Sunderland aims to provide first class facilities and training that will improve the standard of its football youth and in the future open up opportunities for them in Europe.
"Sunderland's commitment to Africa is extraordinary and impressive. The fans of this great club should be extremely proud. I applaud them."
Sunderland AFC chairman, Ellis Short, added: "We are delighted to welcome Tanzania to the Sunderland family, further enhancing our club's relationship with the African continent.
"This exciting partnership, combining football and community engagement, will enable us to share our expertise to help Tanzania develop an effective football infrastructure. We are very much looking forward to working alongside Symbion Power and seeing this project come to fruition."
Sunderland AFC has established itself as one of the most recognised English clubs across Africa in recent seasons.
The club linked up with Invest in Africa in January 2012, affording a springboard to the ground-breaking not-for-profit initiative to promote Africa as a leading investment destination and actively challenge misconceptions about investing on the continent.
Further developing its links with the continent, the club announced recently the BFS Group Limited as its new principal partner from season 2013-14. BFS Group is the main UK operation of The Bidvest Group Limited, which is headquartered in South Africa.
SAFC also became the first football club in the world to form a partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation last season.

Art Tatum: Someone to Watch Over Me
Someone to Watch Over Me
Art Tatum (piano)
The Complete Capitol Recordings of Art Tatum (Capitol 7243 8 21325 2 3)
Art Tatum (piano).
Composed by George & Ira Gershwin ..
Recorded: Los Angeles, July 13 & 25, 1949
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
It's hard for me to pick between this studio version of the Gershwin standard and the live recording Tatum made of the same song a few weeks earlier at the Shrine Auditorium. The bottom line: both are dramatic, pull-out-all-the-stops performances. Just shy of his 40th birthday, this pianist was playing as well as at any stage in his career. His speed and clarity are the benchmarks by which future jazz keyboard virtuosos will be measured. The opening rubato intro is so crammed full of pyrotechnics that you can hardly imagine what Tatum will do to top it. But at the 1-minute mark he settles into a medium tempo Harlem stride that looks back to his own musical roots and shows that, in the Age of Bop, you could still top the youngsters with some old-school pianism. No wonder that the composer of this song, George Gershwin himself, counted himself among Tatum's admirers.

If you think you're just getting clean by taking a long, hot shower – think again. A study says if you have an immune system that's been compromised by chronic illness or by medication, germs lurking in your shower head could be making you sick.
In a study published in 2009 in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, report that shower heads are a dark, wet and warm breeding ground where infectious microbes can grow.
The devices then spray potentially harmful pathogens down as aerosols on people who inhale them.
"I think it is surprising," says Leah Marie Feazel, the first author of the study and a professional research assistant. "I really hope this raises awareness for those who are immunocompromised, that their household may be harboring potential disease organisms. And I hope it raises awareness in the medical community about this risk as well."
Some kinds of arthritis medications, including corticosteroids like prednisone, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs like methotrexate and biologics like infliximab (Remicade) and etanercept (Enbrel), can weaken the body's natural defenses, leaving people who take them more vulnerable to infections.
Researchers analyzed shower heads at 45 sites in nine U. S. cities, with major sampling campaigns focused on the New York and Denver metropolitan areas. Through DNA sequencing, they discovered about 30 percent of the shower heads they tested had Mycobacterium avium, a relative of the organism that causes tuberculosis.
The symptoms of a Mycobacterium avium complex, or MAC, infection are fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss and possibly diarrhea and abdominal pain.
They then used a more sensitive testing method that only looked for that organism. Doing that, they discovered 80 percent of shower heads had Mycobacterium avium, and those fixtures contained more than 100 times the number of disease-causing germs as found in pre-shower water.
Scientists only found the organisms in shower heads from municipal sources, not private wells.
They think that's because this family of bacteria survives the chlorination process that kills most other germs – and then has a wide-open space to grow.
Researchers say it is not dangerous for healthy individuals to take showers, but it could be a cause for concern among people with weakened immune responses because shower aerosol particles could carry bacteria into airways.
"People on immunosuppressants should be very cautious. You should talk to your doctor about possibly switching to bathing rather than showering. Showering can create tiny particles that you are breathing into your lungs and you could develop a lung infection. Bathing doesn't create these cells because the water's all coming out in one stream, rather than being forced through tiny holes that creates micro particles," Feazel says.
Researchers tried cleaning the shower heads with bleach, and they say that didn't work at all. In fact, it only enriched the bacteria, creating more of it. So scientists say if you have a compromised immune system and want to shower, their best recommendation is to change your shower head frequently - between two and four times a year.
They say metal shower heads are less prone to bacteria growth than plastic ones. But beware – many shower heads that look metallic are actually plastic coated with a shiny material, so read the packaging carefully.
Researchers also say it's not worth trying to test your own shower head because it's expensive and virtually impossible for someone without access to scientific tools.

Post subject: The King by J.R. Ward
This new format Ward is doing with this series is just not working for me. I get that she isn't really writing "romance novels" anymore--it's basically paranormal sprinkled with erotica. Which I would normally be ok with, but the amount of jumping around in this book is driving me crazy. We've got three or four relationships going with narrative omniscience into both halves of each couple. We've got flashbacks featuring another relationship. There are cameos of other couples that made me question why I ever liked them in the first place. (Doc Jane, I'm looking at you.) Ugh.
I do approve of the decision to push the lessers into the background, because they were never a compelling villain anyway, but the new villains are equally 2 dimensional. (Xcor might be an exception to this, but I am only 2/3 of the way through.) I have no idea why Wrath would give a crap about wanting to rule over these people. They glymera have no redeeming value, and we've never met the "commoners" before, so I'm not really sure why Wrath ever took up the crown in the first place. They seem to be fine without him, and vice versa.
Because the main storyline is so cluttered up with subplots and I'm annoyed by all the POV changes, I'm finding myself more irked than ever at Ward's weird quirks. She did find her "?" key, but only uses it about 10% of the time it would normally be required. The pop culture/brand name name dropping just makes her sound out of touch or like she's trying too hard. The fixation with the Goth subculture also seems rooted in the late 90s/early 2000's.
I dunno. I'll finish it, but I've started skimming chapters featuring characters I don't care about. There's some good stuff in here--commentary about racism/classism/sexism, gender roles, etc. It's not a total loss. It just feels sloppy. I guess she's popular enough now that her editors are just green-lighting her manuscripts, which is too bad, because there's a good book in here somewhere.

Though I haven't read this book, I agree with many of your thoughts about the direction of this series. I just may be done with Ms Ward's books. I still have yet to read her last one as I was never all that interested in Qhuinn and Blay anyway. I didn't care about either one of them. And I agree that the Lessers got less interesting and the demise of Lash seemed to signal the last of the real bad guys.
I didn't love Xhex and John's story nor Thor's so I think I may not be reading another Ward. I'll just go back and re-read books one through three as they are the most satisfying of the series.
Later that night, still 1789!

I found the BDB books when I was first getting back into reading Romance, and I was thrilled by how unique they were. I was used to Romance from the 90s and had only ever read historicals or contemporary, so this was something totally fun and different.
I hung in there...barely...through Tohr's book, and then I couldn't take it anymore. The lack of consistency in his characterization, plus all the other things you mentioned, aiven, finally pushed me over the edge. There were also a lot of characters I just didn't like, and the pairings were weird. John and Xhex being one of the strangest.
The thing is, I kinda got mad about it! (no, I didn't do anything rude) Then I realized, its her series and not mine, so suck it up and move on. I still wish they were like the first 4.

This is why I have long ago given up on J.R. Ward. I only reread books 2 and 3 out of all the BDB series, and even then I often skip certain parts (the lessers, and other POV changes not related to the main characters of the story, etc).

I am at a loss as to why she is failing to keep ties with what made her so very popular. The series (while still a solid read) is no longer my destination read and I do not buy her books but borrow from a friend or the library. It's almost like she is cannabalizing her talent for the sake of doing what is popular in the market. However what made her books so exciting to read is that no one else I read wrote like her.
Personally I don't mind the multiple POV's because lord knows if we wait for her we'd never find out anything about the earlier and more popular characters but I do hear that in the King nary a one makes an appearance. I guess if it is a $$ grab for her that is her right but I am looking elsewhere for my paranormal romantic fix.

Thanks to U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and committee, homeowners will be spared an unprecedented increase in flood insurance premiums, and in many instances the loss of home and hearth.
According to the Democratic Party Senate floor 'wrap up report' Thursday, January 30, 2014, the United States Senate passed S.1926. the "Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act" of 2014. Thereby modifying the "National Flood Insurance Act" of 2013.
Senator Jeff Merkley D-Oregon by most accounts is a man of the people. Raised in rural Myrtle Point as the son of a millwright, Jeff consistently watches the collective back of his Southern Oregon constituency. And, has been effective in Washington D.C. as to his successful sponsorship of several bills and initiatives beneficial to the residents of Oregon.
Presented by Merkley in late 2013 through a bi-partisan committee, the new mandate effectively modifies a Senate bill that may have resulted in the forfeiture of 100s homes throughout Oregon and the U.S., as the result of an unprecedented increase in flood insurance premiums.
As Merkley puts it…"While the Senate continues to work toward a long-term solution to flood insurance, Oregon families shouldn't be hit with drastic flood insurance rate hikes that are unaffordable or will make their homes impossible to sell. I am glad that the Senate acted in a bipartisan fashion to freeze the rate hikes, and I'm going to be urging the House to act immediately to provide relief to homeowners."
For many homeowners deemed by outdated FEMA flood maps to be living in an historical flood zone; many maps not updated for decades; it was reported that flood insurance rates could increase 10 fold in as many years. Rumors of Insurance premium rates approaching $10K per year circulated the state's real estate industry.
For some homeowners this would result in insurance premiums surpassing their monthly mortgage payment; effectively doubling the monthly cost of residency. For landowners holding property for future development, the 2013 legislation rendered properties situated in or near historic flood zones unsaleable.
The further implication of a stalled or disrupted real estate sector recovery compelled the National Association of Realtors, National Builders Association and Mortgage Brokers to contact lawmakers.
Oregon, arguably one of the wettest states in the Union has struggled to climb out of the national recession, and according to the Oregon Association of Realtors would lose any economic traction or rebound gained in the housing sector through the implementation and enforcement of a FEMA sanction flood insurance rate increase.
While the issue has certainly not gone away for good, the Merkley initiative mandates that prior to pressing for across the board increases, that FEMA complete an affordable study, propose solutions and improve the reliability of the flood plain maps.
Thousands of homes and ranches in Oregon and much of the United States are located in 100, 300 and 500 year flood plains. Granted, much of the United States has been inundated by flood and hurricane caused tidal surges resulting in $ trillions in FEMA underwritten covered damages. According to the Fed, the fund is depleted.
FEMA is pressing for fund reserve accumulation and disaster relief pay back over a 10 year period through flood insurance rate increases.
But, instead of targeting those homeowners opting to rebuild on recent recurring flood plains or coastal regions prone to annual flooding, FEMA is looking to penalize all homeowners living in a region with a remote chance of flooding or tide surge.

Recap| Box Score| Photo Gallery
Head Coach Lute Olson
"NAU did a great job in the first half in terms of attacking the pressure, and they were well-prepared. We did not have good pressure on the basketball in the first half, but in the second half, we did a much better job of pressuring the ball, and we did a much better job of rotating."
"We had 12 turnovers in the first half partly because we came out early, and we were not being patient with the ball. We really got after them in the second half, and we only turned the ball over three times. We also shot the ball better in the second half, and we forced them into making defensive mistakes."
"We did not have a good practice yesterday, and we played that way today in the first half."
"Will Bynum shot the ball really well, and he really picked up his defense in the second half."
"It was important that Chris Rodgers had the opportunity to score in double figures. He is a great defender, and he does a good job of putting pressure on the ball. You can see the kind of potential that he has, and he does as good a job as anybody we have on the ball."
Freshman Hassan Adams:
"We played great defense in the second half. Our intensity was a little bit sluggish in the first half, but we picked it up. We were sluggish and maybe took them for granted a little bit. We got on each other at halftime and said to ourselves we're No. 1 and we need to play like it."
"We had to play to our level. Basically if we wanted to win the game and blow them out, we had to come out defensively in the second half. We're a better team than that (how the first half showed)."
Senior Jason Gardner:
"The main thing was that we had a lot of turnovers. In the second half, we worked the ball a little bit better. We slowed up a bit and made the extra pass."
"The first five minutes of the second half is when you can take a team's heart out of the game. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half and so we were only up by five."
"We're going to have our whole team together (against Saint Louis), so hopefully the press will work a little better."
Sophomore Channing Frye:
"Northern Arizona is a great team, they've got some great shooters and they're very scrappy. In the first half, we were a little sluggish. We had a bad practice yesterday so that's why we were a little sluggish. We weren't mentally focused yesterday in practice."
"We understand we've got a big bulls-eye on us. We weren't taking them for granted, they were just hitting some shots and eventually, they got tired. We wore them down with our press."
"Luke (Walton) is tough. He's got that old man's strength. He's a competitor so he'll be back really soon."

UMass Falls To Fordham In Preview Of A-10's
Feb. 2, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - The UMass women's swimming and diving team fell to Fordham, 176-120, Saturday, in what will most likely turn into a battle for second place during the upcoming Atlantic 10 Championships. The Minutewomen managed just five first-place finishes, including two from diver Michaela Butler. The UMass men were able to defeat the Rams by a score of 183-113.
The Minutewomen divers were able to sweep the top-three spots in both the one- and three-meter events, led by Michaela Butler. The Dennisport, Mass. native took the one-meter dive with a score of 265.64 and was followed closely by Mary Atkinson in second (253.80) and Molly Elkins in third (244.80). Butler also captured the three-meter, pulling in a score of 298.43. Atkinson added another second-place finish to her day finishing with a score of 264.53. Rachel Dushman took third for the Minutewomen pulling in a score of 259.80.
UMass started off its day in the pool with a second-place finish by the 200-yard medley relay team of Rebecca Quirie, Katie Arnott, Jocelyn Yuen and Zoe Judd. The group was able to finish just ahead of the third-place Fordham team with a time of 1:50.54.
In the 1000-yard freestyle, freshman Katherine Orr picked up her first top-finish finishing at a time of 10:32.97. She came in ahead of Anna Cavanaugh who took fourth at a time of 10:42.97 and Kaitlyn McKenna who finished fifth with a time of 10:50.04.
The two other first-place finishes for the Minutewomen came in the 200-yard butterfly and the 500-yard freestyle. Yuen captured the top spot in the 200 fly pulling in a time of 2:07.95, while Judd took the win in the 500 free at a time of 5:06.82. She finished ahead of Molly Smyth who finished at a time of 5:06.74 and in second-place. Judd was also able to add a second-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle (24.74) and a fourth-place finish in the 200-yard IM (2:15.48) to her name before the afternoon was over.
The Minutewomen will now look ahead to the Atlantic 10 Championships taking place from the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio beginning on February 20. UMass will look to improve upon its fourth-place finish from last season and get back onto the podium, a place they had previously been four times in the past seven seasons.

The Bible says: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16.17-18, KJV)
And so, in the southern Appalachian Mountains, Pastor Jimmy Morrow of the Edwina Church of God In Jesus' Name coaxes the snake on his lap with a gentle voice, saying "I ain't gonna hurt you. I ain't gonna hurt you dirty boy." It's a copperhead snake, a venemous pit viper. He's a snake handler; his church members are Signs Followers: pentecostals who take Mark 16 literally. They believe, therefore they shall take up serpents, as the verse says.
But Pastor Morrow is handling for the cameras; a small group of documentarians are themselves being documented by filmmakers Jonathan Durham and Katrina Albright. It's a media-only snake handling session, what Durham calls a change in the ritual of the church. Pastor Morrow is deliberately, directly, engaging with the media.
Durham and Albright are interested in that relationship between subject and documenter. Their film-in-progress, Signs Following, takes a step back to put Morrow, his serpents, and the photographers and filmmakers who love them, into the frame together.
Durham met Morrow through a photographer named Rick Cary. Cary's spent a lot of time with the church, photographing them in a hybrid snapshot-documentary style that privileges authentic moments over aesthetic composition. Durham curated Credo at the Abrons Art Center, an exhibition of Cary's photographs is up through November 5 for those of you in New York City.
Durham and Albright are about a year into filming, with another year to go. Abrons Art Center showed aa brief excerpt of their film at a screening of Holy Ghost People a weird, wonderful 1967 ethnographic film about snake handling. It's public domain. Find it.) Later, I asked Durham to talk to me a bit more about what they're looking at and what they hope to capture in their documentary:
The Revealer: Who is the subject of this film? Jimmy Morrow, the pastor? It seems, to some extent, to be both the pastor and those documenting him.
Jonathan: We're very interested in this particular family,Jimmy and his wife Pam. And also in their creative relationship with the media, because in general the media is looked at as outsiders there, and in the past has portrayed them [the church] in a very negative way. We really quickly saw that Jimmy is engaged in his own dialogue with the media. That is the meat of the subject. He has a radical faith practice, but at the same time he allows people to come in who don't practice it and who may treat it as a spectacle. But he gives them the benefit of the doubt. I guess we're conscious, too, of how this might change their own ritual.
The Revealer: In the excerpt I saw, you end up filming a bunch of photographers and filmmakers documenting Murrow. I noticed that one of the photographers had his face blurred out. Were the other documentarians cool with you being there, with you filming them?
Jonathan: Well, we all talked about our interests, and where we're from. And then we did our own thing in terms of shooting. In particular the group you saw was pretty adamant about not being represented, which we thought was curious, to say the least. They're in a worship service. They're shaking hands with people. Although it's not that uncommon for a documentarian to want their identity to be private if they're seeking access to hard-to-engage-with communities. We were interested in that balance between how Jimmy and his congregation were letting themselves be represented, but the media weren't letting themselves be represented.
The Revealer: Why is this getting documented, to this degree? In other words, what's so appealing about snake handling as a subject?
Jonathan: That's kind of an obvious question, and an obvious answer. It's truly dangerous. It's resulted in people dying or getting really hurt. It's also spectacular. The snake is a very strong sign and symbol. It's a very ancient sign and symbol for so many cultures. I think it's also something that anyone can look at and immediately ask themselves why is that person doing that, or would they be willing to do that, for something they believe in.
What makes you different from the photographers and filmmakers you're documenting? Do you share some of that same attraction to snake handling that you just described?
At first we were… we're not the first photographers who have come through this church by any means. They're pretty used to people coming in with cameras. They were very gracious about that. We had a few meals with them, we went to their homecoming, we ate a ton of food at their homecoming. We just kind of hung out with them. We shared a lot of stories, not related to handling or anything, just about their lives.
In the short period of time that I was down there looking at the other documentarians… they want to see snakes, basically. That's what you saw in that one scene.
There have been other documentary groups that have followed Jimmy. I'm not saying that we're totally different.
The Revealer: So how much of the film is about snake handling, as opposed to the rest of their lives?
Jonathan: Honestly, about 20% of the documentary is about snake handling.
The Revealer: One of the things that really struck me about Rick Cary's photographs is the way in which the photos seem to privilege the content over the formal composition. How he's trying to capture a moment — almost like a really, really excellent version of a family snapshot — that's being taken to preserve something as opposed to trying to compose something. Watching the excerpt of your film, I started to wonder if maybe that had an influence on your approach to filming Jimmy and his family.
Jonathan: Yeah, I hadn't thought about it so much, but in a way he's there. He's not asking him to pose, which some photographers are doing. He's there looking for snapshots or windows into our lives. That definitely has an influence on the way we're looking at this film.

I decided to take it a step further and mix up the colours a little.
I stuck with the white cake recipe that I used from Joy of baking because I gathered that the colours would pop better than with a regular sponge cake mix.
It was really fun to make,even though I gave myself double the work because instead of doubling the recipe,I made it twice so baking 2 layers at a time.
I have to admit that I did that on purpose,I wanted to make sure the first 2 layers worked before baking the next 2.
They worked! At least ill know for next time and save myself half the time.
Cover the two bowls with plastic wrap and allow the eggs to come to room temperature before using
(about 30 minutes).
Ps...If you like this post (or any other) please take a second to share it...or comment and let me know.
Id appreciate it muchly :)

I've got a lot of shards filling my inventory, and despite the fact that they're weightless, I'd like to get rid of them... in the most profitable way possible, of course.
Turning them into gems seems the easy way out, but some gems are more valuable than others -- so which are they?
What's the best way to make money off of my sagecrafting?

Since this is my first question here, I hope this is on topic.
The power supply of one of our old CISCO Aironet 1231G wifi access point failed recently, after a power outage. I think that the power supply failure took something in the AP with it, because even using a known good supply I get nothing when I plug the device in. I opened the device and I think I found the failed component, marked CR1006:
Considering the blackened pins and PCB traces, I think this is the most likely culprit. I am a relative novice when dealing with electronics though, and I have no idea what this thing is (or rather was). My own research led me to believe that this is some kind of diode, other, more obvious, diodes are also marked as CRxxxx, but I don't see any polarity markings. Here is a second picture which show the markings better:
I found nothing about this using Google. Poking it with a multimeter gives me 285 ohms regardless of polarity.
This device is not anything that is really important anymore, and a professional repair is not economical (the AP is at least 8 years old), but I would like to try this repair anyway, as learning experience, and because I dislike throwing repairable equipment away.

Heard on the Street
Germany Is Playing Its Part (Richard Barley)
Is Germany doing enough? Nearly every indicator shows Europe's largest economy, accounting for 27% of euro-zone GDP, staging a strong recovery. And despite the austerity headlines, it is loosening fiscal policy this year. But that hasn't stopped calls for Germany to do more to help ease the pain in southern Europe and offset the impact of austerity. Those calls are wide of the mark. The raw numbers are impressive: in April, German industrial production was up 13.9% from a year earlier, helping to drive euro-zone output up 9.5%, the biggest rise since records began in 1990. Unemployment fell to 7.7% in May, the lowest since December 2008. Crucially, German firms are boosting investment, with more firms planning to create jobs than reduce them for the first time in two years, according to the DIHK German chambers of commerce. German growth could hit 5% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, according to J.P. Morgan. That should offset slower expansion in France and Italy to keep euro-zone growth at 3%.
Ruddless Oz No Sure Win for Miners (Andrew Peaple)
As anyone who has played sports against Australia knows, the country likes a winner.
Kevin Rudd, Australia's former prime minister, rescued his Labor party from 12 years of opposition and led Australia through the financial crisis without a recession. But it looked likely Labor would lose the next general election under his leadership, and so he has been dumped.
U.S. Financial Index Starts Flashing Red (Richard Barley)
How bad is it out there? One index suggests spillover from Europe's sovereign crisis has pushed U.S. financial conditions to their worst since the Lehman Brothers aftermath.
In the second quarter, the U.S. Monetary Policy Forum's Financial Conditions Index fell to minus-1.82, its lowest since the fourth quarter of 2008, says Deutsche Bank.

When teenagers run out of real friends, they go online. When social networking sites run out of new members, they go overseas. Neither strategy is necessarily rewarding.
Facebook, looking to China, Japan, South Korea and Russia for growth, needs to do something. Its 500m membership base includes more than one-third of all Americans; the targeted countries, representing one-quarter of the world population, are bigger and less penetrated. Consultancy Business Insights estimates Asian users will more than double by 2015, by which time they will exceed those everywhere else. Yet these are tricky markets which can even wrong-foot local players. A Japanese social networking site, Mixi, valued at $2bn the day it listed four years ago, is now worth less than $700m and profits are shrinking. Since socialising online is as culturally-specific as the physical variety – games trump chat in China and only Japan would have an app for creating digital underwear – that bodes ill for foreign entrants.
UK banks can't seem to catch a break. Pilloried in public, and the target of a levy to pay back some of the taxpayer funds and guarantees they have received since the onset of the global financial crisis, they find themselves on Friday getting a reminder from the Bank of England. In the Financial Stability Report, the Bank admonishes them for remaining too dependent on short-term wholesale funding. The banks' funding gap at the end of 2009 was £360bn less than its peak in the second half of 2008, and was roughly back to the level of 2005. Just 15 per cent of loans are financed from the wholesale market, a level not seen since 2003. But the banks' combined funding gap still stood at £475bn, and that makes the Bank uncomfortable.
If only retail were all about shops. Then Sweden's H&M would be a steal: its fat margins are getting fatter, it delivers an impressive 70 per cent return on capital employed and – best of all – its shares have not been this cheap for more than a year. But investors have to be armchair economists, and here the outlook is darker. The world's third-biggest fashion retailer is structurally short the dollar. It buys two-thirds of its stock in US dollars from the Far East and sells about the same proportion in euros. The relative strength of the euro over the past decade has helped push its gross margin to an industry-leading 60 per cent. But this year the euro has dropped 15 per cent against the dollar. If it falls to parity against the dollar, Morgan Stanley estimates it would knock 4 percentage points from H&M's gross margin.
Most politicians, noted Harold Macmillan, are undone by developments no manifesto or focus group can anticipate. The tragedy of Kevin Rudd, deposed on Thursday as Australian prime minister, was that there were no "events." The economy barrelled through the global financial crisis, thanks in large part to China's ferocious appetite for its resources, and an oligopolistic banking system that never had to chase yield in strange places. Then, while politicians elsewhere were squaring up to their banks, Mr Rudd decided to go one better, and take on the miners. By this act of hubris, he becomes a historical curio: the only Australian prime minister to have fought just one election. Finding ways to slow the exploitation of coal and metals is not, in itself, bad policy. But so bungled was the communication, and so obviously populist the timing – the Labor party, with strongholds of support in regions unblessed by minerals, must hold an election by April – that Mr Rudd's credibility never recovered. Having described the industry's threats of pulling investments as "balderdash" and "bunkum," he was wrong-footed when they did so. Spending A$39m on an advertising blitz might have been justifiable, had the prime minister not effectively outlawed the practice two years earlier, describing tax-funded ads as "a cancer on democracy."
New financial instruments are key to a strong domestic financial market, according to a Group of 20 workshop in 2004. The great thing about innovations such as securitisation and derivative markets, the G-20 continued, is that they allow "a greater diversification of risk". Whoops!
Unfortunately, the world's finance ministers and central bank governors meeting again in Toronto this weekend were hardly humbled by the subsequent meltdown. On the contrary. The G20's assessment of its effort to tackle the "greatest challenge to the world economy in our generation" was given its own bullet point in September's communiqué: "It worked". Will the G20 look foolish again?

Ocado: great service, not such a great investment ( Nils Pratley)
Ocado's vast distribution centre in Hatfield is an impressive operation. Enormous quantities of brain and computer power have been devoted to finding the best way to fill carrier bags with groceries and deliver those bags to customers. It's a slick business and you can understand how Ocado hits its one-hour delivery slots 98 times out of 100.
Ocado's financial performance, on the other hand, does not take the breath away. OK, management can boast that sales are rising at a rate of 30% while top-line profits (ie, before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) are advancing at 180%. But this apparent huge advance in profit margins is achieved from a tiny base – Ocado made just £8m in the first half of this year on this flattering measure of profitability. At the pre-tax level, the company lost money last year.
The Daily Telegraph
It bodes well for AXA deal that Cowdery's prepared to risk £50m (Damian Reece)
A fairly damning indictment you would have thought, but the pair are still holding on for grim life. The "agency gap" caused by a company's hired management being out of step with what's good for the same company's owners is a constant problem in public companies and requires much closer engagement from shareholders to eliminate. Bank shareholders have been particular victims of this gap in recent years. But insurance, besides throwing up one of the worst examples of out of touch, if not out of control, management has one of the best examples of how that agency gap can be minimised. Yesterday Clive Cowdery's Resolution paid £2.75bn for AXA's UK business with shareholders happily stumping up £2bn of the consideration in a rights issue with slightly more than £1bn of that new money already being underwritten by those self same shareholders.

{The Move} Isssues with Rental Truck
We had a Budget rental truck all reserved from online to pick up at a…
My boyfriend recently went through the process of purchasing a home here and let me tell you what, the process is unlike it used to be back when I purchased my first home in 2005. There are so many mortgage options available with different rates as well as different regulations set forth as to what type of home you can purchase. Check out Canadian mortgage rates online or you can check out American mortgage rates online just about anywhere on the Internet. I believe checking out the mortgage rates in your area is the first step in any home buying decision.
There are a lot of other factors, aside from just the rates that may take place when you are looking to get your first home mortgage. The type of home you are hoping to get into, the views the home has all may play a key role in what location you decide to purchase a home. Maybe you wish to have a home with a lot of acreage so that the family can run free and have a blast playing outside instead of constantly complaining that they have nothing to do because your yard is too small. Some people look at the local attractions when seeking to get a first time home mortgage, such as whether there are trails around the area to enjoy for nature walks or four wheeling.
When we were out shopping for a home we basically wanted to make sure that there was space inside of the house for all of our family as well as a decent backyard for we are an outdoor type family. While we ended up with half an acre and a decent sized home, getting into the home took some time. As I said in the first paragraph, different types of home mortgage companies have different regulations; depending upon the type of mortgage loan you choose or are eligible for you may be placed in a position to be a bit more picky about the location and type of house you purchase.
Whether you are looking to buy for the first time or purchase a second home, checking out online mortgage rates is the best way to determine if 1) you can afford such a decision right now and 2) if you would even save money in purchasing a home in the long run. In my local area it is much more cost effective to purchase a home with a mortgage than it is to rent a home or apartment. With the cost of living rising and income for employees staying around the same, you have to make certain that your home mortgage choice is what fits your families needs both financially and long term growth wise.
We purchased the house we're in now about 7 yrs ago, and you're right there were so many options! It's a bit overwhelming, but worth it in the long run.
That yard picture is amazing!
This makes me want to take a step back from my dream of buying a house in the next year or so. We're currently in an apartment that is honestly too small for our family, but I have a lot more research to do until we take that scary plunge into home ownership.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 24 March 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540324-TC-JAC-01; CL 29: 51-52
Chelsea, 24 March, 1854—
My dear Brother,
It seems a long time since I heard anything definite about your proceedings; I surely wrote last too? Tho' that indeed is a small matter.— I conclude you have not yet been able to fix on any house, or else you would have told me of it; and am sorry to think of the confusing uncertainty you must still be in on that account. Jean's glimpse of Dienby,1 which was the last view I had of the matter, seemed rather promising; but I suppose that came to nothing practicable either. The locality is very central for all the friends and kindred we now have in Scotland: a wholesome, quiet place too, and cheerful enough so far as scenery goes;—the House I do not know, nor anything more of it than the Gate on the Dumfries and Annan road, which is very present to my memory.2 On the whole I very heartily wish you had got some suitable settlement; for the period of doubt, speculation and inquiry is far from agreable, and very destructive to whatever industry one may be carrying on. A speedy settlement is to be wished; but still more, of course, a right and wise one: for the house one occupies, especially the neighbourhood one is in, is a very influential item in one's affair. I can only wish right heartily (if that were of any effect), your choice may at last be fortunate and judicious!—
Jane incidentally heard from Mrs Fraser,3 a while ago, that you meant to be up in Town, both of you, in the course of April. That also may be extremely wise, especially if you have yet found no house. Here clearly are houses in abundance, and ever more houses, such a building, and piling of rotten bricks under roman-cement as never was seen before! But it is a frightful place to take up one's abode in, too; this I very sincerely, and often with a sorrow which is not now impatient, being irremediable now, feel to be the case. But indeed, to me, all localities and habitations are pretty sure to be "frightful" more or less, and the "suitable" one, I believe, has not been discovered yet!— But what I had to say about April is, that we are engaged for Easter to be out at Addiscombe,—I think from the 18th to the 28th; note these days, I pray you, and let us not lose so much of neighbourship, which falls to us so seldom. For the rest, write me a word some day soon.
We are quiet here, almost as if in Siberia, much quieter than Moffat, I dare say;—struggling to be a little busy, and keeping out of the way of all people. Turk war, Palmerston eloquence, Reform Bill on and do off: all this is leather & prunella4 to us. Weather grey again and shockingly cold, which is good for neither of us.— Adieu, dear Brother, I dare not begin another slip.
With kind regards to your Phoebe.—
Yours ever
T. Carlyle

Thunder Hawk's Effigy honors the Blue Roan that is depicted by the ledger drawings of 'Artist B' (see: "An Hour With Castle McLaughlin"), but in doing so it also honors the descendants of that horse, the Nokotas. This is mainly because it is an old art form with a contemporary twist-- Thunder Hawk complies with tradition, but also adds his own fresh perspective by adding elements of his own artistic style. The hair found on the Effigy belongs to a horse that passed away five years ago, so the piece is very much a reference to horses existing today.
|A Nokota horse
By having the Effigy in the exhibit, we are reminded of the importance of connecting ourselves to the past. The fact that Thunder Hawk is honoring a horse that once was, a horse that neither he nor us has ever met, is a sign that what is behind us on a timeline has never truly been surpassed, or at least shouldn't be. Effigies teach us this to begin with-- to never forget those who have departed-- but the Effigy, as a dance stick, brings history to life. Its potential for movement in a dance ceremony is an indication that history exists in both a past and present state. The Nokota horses that McLaughlin and Thunder Hawk are dedicating themselves to under the Nokota Horse Conservancy are in a fight (a successful one at that) for survival. The following is the description of the organization's goals, as quoted from Nokotahorse.org:
The Nokota® Horse Conservancy is a nonprofit organization established in 1999 to preserve the unique and historical Nokota® Horse. These wild horses of the northern plains inhabited the Little Missouri badlands, now encompassed by Theodore Roosevelt National Park, for more than a century. They were removed by the National Park Service and sold during the 1980s and 1990s. The vast majority of the remaining Nokota® horses now survive on the overburdened Kuntz Ranch. The goals of the Nokota® Horse Conservancy are to preserve these important horses by caring for them, promoting awareness of their plight, value, and use to others, and by working to establish a sanctuary where they can survive into the future.The values behind the organization are, in this sense, revolutionary. The Effigy, just like the Nokota horses, is a reminder of this "plight, value, and use to others" that we find not only in the creatures themselves but also in history-- or more specifically, Native American history.
On that note, the Wiyohpiyata: Lakota Images of the Contested West exhibit, in which the Effigy is found, is revolutionary due to the message it sends. It brings to light the importance of reviving the Native American past, something which often tends to be swept under the rug, so to speak. Sure, most American studies today learn about the culture at some point during their schooling years, but often times that's as far as exposure goes. Spending time in the exhibit at the Peabody (both by myself and with Dr. McLaughlin) has taught me more than I feel I could have ever learned from a textbook. It's important to experience culture all around you-- to see it, touch it, smell it, hear it, etc. If it envelopes you, you begin to feel history come alive. The Effigy, particularly in the context of the exhibit, achieves just that. It is revolutionary but also celebratory, and is a mode of expression through which we find not only stories of the past, but also stories of the present.
