According to a March 23 report from Sherdog, the results are in from the UFC Fight Night 38 MMA event that went down tonight in Natal, Brazil.
UFC Fight Night 38 opened with Godofredo Pepey defeating Noad Lahat with a devastating knockout knee to the face.
The official stoppage came at the 2:39 mark of the first round.
In the second fight of the UFC Fight Night 38 card, Hans Stringer defeated Francimar Barroso via split-decision, in a fight that was a close back-and-forth war.
Later on the preliminary card, Kenny Robertson took out Thiago Perpetuo with a delicious rear-naked choke at the 1:45 mark of the first round.
The UFC Fight Night 38 preliminary card also featured a great submission win from Jussier Formiga, as he defeated Scott Jorgensen via rear-naked choke at the 3:07 mark of the opening frame.
UFC Fight Night 38 then had back-to-back knockout finishes, as Thiago Santos defeated Rony Markes at 0:53 of the first round and Rony Jason finished Steven Siler by TKO at 1:17 of the opening round.
Siler's fight had a bit of a controversial finish. Siler was clearly rocked, but the ref may have stepped in one strike too soon.
However, safety of the fighters is the primary concern on every card, so it's better to have an early stoppage than a late one.
Dan Henderson vs "Shogun" Rua
UFC Fight Night 38 features an exciting rematch of one of the best fights in UFC history, as Dan Henderson meets Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at light heavyweight.
Both Henderson and Rua are still ranked in the top 10 at light heavyweight. However, Henderson is 43 years old and time is wounding down for him to make a run at the belt.
For Rua, he's a grizzled veteran at 32 years old. Henderson and "Shogun" Rua met three years ago in an epic UFC clash that is still regularly replayed in UFC highlight reels.
Their fight tonight might not live up to their first clash, but it still will be a fun one for the fans. Will Henderson hold off Father Time for one more bout, or will Rua reign supreme?
Here's a look at the full UFC Fight Night: Dan Henderson vs "Shogun" Rua results:
- Mauricio Rua vs. Dan Henderson
- Cezar Ferreira vs. C.B. Dollaway
- Leonardo Santos vs. Norman Parke
- Fabio Maldonado vs. Gian Villante
- Michel Prazeres def. Mairbek Taisumov via unanimous decision
- Rony Jason defeats Steven Siler by TKO at 1:17 of the first round
- Thiago Santos defeats Rony Markes by TKO at 0:53 of the first round
- Jussier Formiga defeats Scott Jorgensen via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:07 of the first round
- Kenny Robertson defeats Thiago Perpetuo via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:45 of the first round
- Hans Stringer defeats Francimar Barroso by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
- Godofredo Pepey defeats Noad Lahat by KO 2:39 of the opening round

While talking to Rock Band 3 project lead Daniel Sussman, I learned a hell of a lot I didn't know about the game. But after the interview, Harmonix sent over a set of press releases which included still more info I hadn't heard about. Like this:
Set list creation and song selection has been completely revamped. It'll be easier to find songs you want to play via advanced filters, which we knew about from the USA Today story. But did you know you'll be able to hide songs you don't want to play? And find songs you may not know about via a song-recommendation system that will "suggest tracks from Rock Band's colossal music library, based on personal fan preference"? You'll also be able to save set lists and share them with friends, both in-game and via RockBand.com.
Everything's integrated. We knew about the new, all-encompassing career mode that tracks your progress no matter what you're doing in the game. But did you know that career mode will have over 700 "goals and rewards"? And that online leaderboards will be integrated into the career mode? And that you'll be able to share your progress via in-game integration with Twitter, Facebook, "and more"? Well, see? Now you do.
More peripherals are coming. I've written up a post detailing all the currently announced peripherals, but there was a tantalizing bit in the Mad Catz press release I'll reprint here: "Mad Catz will be offering updated versions of the guitar and drum peripherals from prior versions of Rock Band, as well as improved microphones in support of the Rock Band 3 vocal harmony feature."
There's a DS version. I haven't been able to find any details about that yet, but I'm guessing it'll have more in common with Rock Band Unplugged or Rock Band for iPhone than, say, Guitar Hero: On Tour.
Finally, here's one for our friends overseas: It's getting a simultaneous worldwide release. The press release cites "Holiday 2010 in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other territories" — and yes, that includes the DS version.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go collapse into bed and sleep for about sixteen hours. Nobody announce anything important while I'm out, OK?

Fans of "Grey's Anatomy" are dying to see Thursday night's episode, as it is the show where Dr. Preston Burke returns and lays the groundwork for Dr. Cristina Yang's exit from Seattle. Of course there are other key storylines in play in episode 10x22 as well and fans want "Grey's Anatomy" spoilers. On Wednesday, TVLine dished out some of the goods that fans won't want to miss.
Episode 10x22 is titled "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." While much of the focus will be on Cristina and Burke, there are other characters front-and-center in this episode as well. The official synopsis from TV Guide teases that Meredith will help Cristina as Yang makes a big decision about her future. Derek's sister Amelia is back and they work together on a pair of conjoined twins. Jo is in the weeds as she tackles too many cases while Stephanie learns the truth about Dr. Bailey's big case with the bubble boy.
When it comes to the case that Amelia and Derek work on, it is a complicated situation where the two babies are seemingly attached at the brain. That would be why the two neurosurgeons need to work in tandem together. Amelia will be sticking around for a little bit it seems, and she will finally start to bond a bit with Meredith. How long will she stay in Seattle? That much isn't known yet, so fans will have to stay tuned.
As for Burke's return, TVLine shared the big "Grey's Anatomy" spoiler preview setting the stage for Preston and Cristina to reunite. Yang is doing a presentation and a voice from the back of the auditorium starts questioning her. It seems that she is a bit stunned to hear the voice and recognizes it, and a moment later he steps forward and reveals himself.
Other previews indicate that Burke says that he wants Cristina back. However, is it for personal or business purposes? It seems he has a project he's working on where he needs her expertise, and most would imagine she's not going to be able to resist.
The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, teases that "It's not gonna be about whatever you expect it to be about." Some fans have been clamoring for a romantic reunion while others anticipate this to be a professional reunion. How will it all play out? Fans will have to tune in Thursday night to find out. The big episode laying the groundwork for Sandra Oh's "Grey's Anatomy" exit airs May 1 on ABC.

NEW YORK — New York City police say they've arrested a low-end clothing dealer in the killings of three shopkeepers.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says 63-year-old Staten Island resident Salvatore Perrone was arrested Wednesday on murder charges in the Brooklyn shooting deaths. Police say he had tried to sell clothing to the shopkeepers.
Police recovered a bag containing a sawed-off rifle believed to have been used in the killings. They say the balding Perrone appeared on surveillance footage carrying the bag moments after the most recent shooting, last Friday.
The other killings happened in July and August. All three shopkeepers were men alone in stores that had no video cameras.
Perrone is in custody and can't be reached for comment. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. A message left on his cellphone hasn't been returned.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 1 December 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451201-TC-JAC-01; CL 20: 65-66
Bay House, 1 Decr, 1845
Dear Brother,
I am glad you found the D'Ewes Ms. and sent it off to Bruce. I have this day written to him to say that it is coming. You did not send me the Key back by that Letter; but doubtless you have it lying ready for being sent.
We live here in the most complete state of Donothingism that I have ever in my life had experience of. The day goes along in consulting how the day shall go. For most part I snatch an effectual ride upon my strong horse out of the whirlpool; I read a little German with the Lady after Dinner; listen to some music, to much witty talk;—and that is all. I seem to improve in health a little; but still do not sleep: the habit of utter idleness, getting possession of me, is very strange! How long we shall be able to stand such a regimen is not yet made out:—one would think not very long! The prospect of such a thing for life were absolutely equal to death! Meantime it cannot but be said to be pleasant enough, and perhaps not useless, for a season.
Here is a Letter from Scott,1 which you can return to me. We have got a Copy of the Cromwell here; Mr Baring bought it in a shop: it looks well enough. And now that Business, one may hope, has ended. I am much pleased with Scott's approval of me, which has a sincere air. But on the whole, all that department of the thing is grown surprisingly small to me: not momentous, one way or the other.
Buller is going to Town tomorrow; to return on Wednesday or Thursday. My Tobacco is done; my Fusees not far from done. Would you therefore go to our old Tobacco-shop; get me two quarter-pounds of Returns, and a groat's worth of fusees; and leave them addressed to me at Buller's, 2. Chester Place. Do, and help me. Tuesday Evg will be safest.
—Will you also take this Rate-paper, and pay the £2. 0. 6 for me. Keep a true List of all those outlays, and we will settle it punctually by and by.
They want me "instantly" to go and ride! Adieu dear Brother. Your affe
T. Carlyle

Stupak Challenger Gains Support
A novice Republican challenging Rep. Bart Stupak (D., Mich.) has been gaining support and raising money in the wake of the House vote on health-care legislation Sunday.
"It's been amazing," said Dan Benishek, a doctor. "The phone hasn't stopped ringing."
Benishek, who has never run for office and has an all-volunteer campaign, says he has raised $50,000 since the vote. He's also gotten about 6,000 emails, 18,000 friends on the Facebook and more than 3,000 followers on Twitter even though his account looks brand new. Some conservative Web sites have taken up his cause, including the Hot Air blog founded by Michelle Malkin.
"The betrayal of Mr. Stupak was dramatic," Benishek says. "He certainly betrayed the citizens of his district because he's from a conservative pro-life area. That was pretty much the only issue tying him to his district. Mr. Stupak tends to vote pretty liberal on most things."
A spokeswoman for Stupak said the congressman had no comment on the matter.
Stupak had succeeded in getting tough antiabortion language attached to the House bill, which passed the chamber last November. But the provision wasn't in the Senate bill that the House passed on Sunday night. Stupak and six other antiabortion Democrats voted for the Senate bill after reaching a deal with the White House for an executive order saying no federal funds would be used to fund abortions. The deal paved the way for final passage of the main health care bill. The Senate now must vote on a package of changes that the House adopted Sunday.
The district, which includes all of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, went solidly for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, but President Barack Obama won with 50% of the vote in 2008. Stupak handily beat his last Republican challenger that year.
Benishek said he decided to run because he was concerned about Washington's deficit spending. "We have a debt disaster awaiting us," he says.
The Republican primary in Michigan is Aug. 3.

The perennial attempt to rid the state of pesky environmental regulations is up for consideration in the Indiana legislature. On Jan. 28, 2014, the Indiana House passed a bill, along party lines, that would bar Indiana regulators from adopting environmental rules that are stricter than federal standards.
House Bill 1143 mandates that state requirements "may not be more stringent" than federal law. The bill is now pending in the Indiana Senate's Environmental Affairs Committee where State Sen. Ed Charbonneau of Valparaiso (Rep.) is the chairman. According to a report appearing in the Northwest Indiana Times on Feb. 11, Charbonneau said that he will decide by Thursday, Feb. 13, whether to hold a hearing on the bill, and if a hearing is held, it would be held on Monday, Feb. 17. The bill must be approved by committee before it could move on to the full Senate for a vote.
In an opinion published in the Indianapolis Star (and other news outlets), Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, argued that this bill would weaken the state's ability to protect its citizens from environmental hazards in areas where the federal government has failed to act or has responded inadequately, such as hazards from coal ash or from chemical/ coal waste spills. Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management employees might be afraid to enforce laws to protect the environment for fear they would violate the 'no more stringent' law. Kharbanda urged citizens to contact their legislators to oppose HB 1143 and any similar bills.
Other bills have also been proposed in the Indiana legislature that would weaken environmental protections under the guise of protecting farming or other rights. Senate Bill 186, along with its companion, House Bill 1200, would give factory farms a defense against charges of environmental or health damages, such as claims of harm from manure lagoons/ large hog farms.
The governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, recently placed a full page advertisement in the Sunday edition of the New York Times declaring that Indiana is a state that works for businesses. According to a Jan. 23, 2014, report on Portage.com, it's all part of a larger campaign to tout Indiana as a pro-business state. Constituents may want to remind their elected representatives that welcoming businesses to Indiana does not require the state to ditch its duty to protect its non-business citizens from the hazards of environmental pollution.

Buzz on the Street: Bulls Are Hungry -- and Bears Are What's for Dinner
A look back at the happenings on Wall Street this week, as seen by Minyanville's Buzz & Banter.
Here is a small sampling of this week's activity in the Buzz.

A Rocky Road Ahead
Professor Pinch
When I was a kid, the local news used to ask, "It's 11:00. Do you know where your children are?" Now for Treasury bond holders, it might be worth asking, "It's Sunday night. Do you know where your yields are?"
I've been talking about the importance of SHIBOR for the past month and trying to understand the relationship between it and US Treasuries, which I have been saying has a good chance of getting caught up as collateral damage in a Chinese deleveraging cycle. But this post by ZeroHedge, complete with charts from a recent report by Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) really takes the cake for connecting the dots.
First, they point out there's a forthcoming government audit of Chinese debt, and nobody really knows how much debt will be reported. An audit conducted two years ago found local government authorities had RMB10.7 Tn ($1.8 Tn) of debt, so you know this number is going to be higher than that. The IMF has already expressed concern about the levels of debt in the Chinese economy and its potential to hamper growth. Clearly, this is becoming an issue. In fact, former Finance Minister Xiang Huaicheng said in April there could be as much as RMB20 Tn.
But the real issue isn't debt levels, but the ability to service it. Here, ZeroHedge says some things that should make folks take notice, if they are confirmed (emphasis mine):
In other words, China is preparing to admit that the level of problem Local Government Financing Vehicle debt is double what was first reported just two years ago, something many suspected but few dared to voice in the open. But not only that: since the likely level of Non-Performing Loans (i.e., bad debt) within the LGFV universe has long been suspected to be in 30% range, a doubling of the official figure will also mean a doubling of the bad debt notional up to a stunning and nosebleeding-inducing $1 trillion, or roughly 15% of China's goal-seeked GDP! We wish the local banks the best of luck as they scramble to find the hundreds of billions in capital to fill what is about to emerge as the biggest non-Lehman solvency hole in financial history (without the benefit of a Federal Reserve bailout that is).If those numbers are accurate, I think the Chinese banks and other financing vehicles are going to dump every liquid asset they can get a bid for, part of which is bound to be US Treasuries. And with that, we'll see more bloodletting in emerging markets as well since prices for bonds and emerging markets have been positively correlated in this wacky QE world we find ourselves in.
In the weeks and months to come, Sunday night is going to be really important for bond investors and it won't be because Sunday Night Football is on.
Shorting Shamu?

Something to keep your eye on -- SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE:SEAS) could come under pressure due to buzz around the documentary Blackfish, which is apparently a damning attack on SeaWorld's Orca whale treatment practices in the wake of whale attacks at the park. It was released on 7/19, but the negative publicity is really picking up.
Activists are starting to protest at SeaWorld locations. This could turn into a real PR mess. Google Trends is showing a huge spike in activity for Blackfish-related searches. Meanwhile, the financial media is not really covering this. When searching the ticker SEAS in Yahoo! Finance, the coverage is pretty light.
SeaWorld has been arguing that Blackfish is spreading misinformation, but at the end of the day, I think people really have a soft heart for animals and SeaWorld is not looking so hot right now.
I don't know about you, but discussion of Blackfish lit up my Facebook page over the weekend, and it seems the critics are liking it as it has a 97% positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com.
And while Blackfish has only made $123K in box office receipts playing in just five theaters, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com (and data for this past weekend doesn't even exist), the trailer has nearly 1 million views on YouTube. So don't be surprised if it gets wider distribution in a jiffy.
Note that the company reports earnings on August 13.
Bullish Behavior In AAPL
Jeff Cooper
Following last weeks gap above its 50 DMA, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) turned its Daily Swing Chart down on Friday and tailed up to close near session highs.
This morning, Apple is following through.
It looks like the double-bottom square-outs noted in this space in April and June underlie higher prices.

Fertilizer Shares Being Dumped
Steve Smith
The breakdown of a joint venture has occurred between Russian based OAO Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer at nearly 20% of global production, with Belaruskal, citing a violation of their export agreement. Together they accounted for 43% of global exports. This seems to be a gambit for Urakali to grab market share, particularly to China. This is expected to lead to significant drop in prices - possibly as much as 25% to $300 a ton down from the current $400 per ton level. The breakup has been perceived as a cartel potentially shattering.
Shares of fertilizer makers such as Potash (NYSE:POT) and Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) are getting crushed, down 25% in pre-market. Shares of CF Industries (NYSE:CF), which is also in the fertilizer business but produces mainly nitrogen based products rater, is moving down in tandem, off some $10 or 5%. This comes a day after shares of CF surged more than $20 on news that Loeb's Third Point had taken a stake and would be agitating for change. I'm sure Loeb is in at lower prices, but this certainly serves as a reminder not to blindly follow what a well known hedge fund is doing especially on news that brings you late to the game.
While this may seem another nail in the commodity the bull market or a sign the "supercycle" is over, it may actually present long-term opportunity. I'm of the mind that consumables such as agriculture and energy sector will still benefit from growing emerging market demand over the next decade. By comparison the infrastucture build out that uses recyclable materials, such as steel and copper, are likely to continue to see suffer from over capacity and a deceleration in demand.
Mood Matters
Peter Atwater
This morning Generac (NYSE:GNRC) reported very strong results and raised its second half outlook. From my perspective, few companies have benefited from the socionomics of weak social mood like this back-up generator manufacturer. When mood is weak, we crave certainty and products that offer "just in case" local solutions - like home generators.
Over the past three years Generac is up four-fold.
But just for fun, consider what has happened to the stock of what is arguably the most "just-in-time" global solutions provider out there - FedEx (NYSE:FDX). Over the same three-year period, that stock is up just 25% and still below its peak-of-confidence, 2007-high price of $121.
Social mood matters, and knowing where mood is headed can be a powerful advantage to investors.
So where do I think Generac is headed from here?
While I am not involved in any way with Generac, I always get nervous when companies up their outlooks. Positive extrapolation of performance is something you see at peaks in confidence - by company managers, equity analysts and investors. Given the universal praise I see by all this morning, I'd offer that caution may be best.
And in that regard, I'd note that over the past twelve months, we have seen the peaking of a lot of weak social mood "me, here, now" stocks - like Sturm, Ruger & Co. (NYSE:RGR), Cash America (NYSE:CSH) and even Apple (with all its "i" as in "me" products). And I think the same argument could be made for the peaking in high dividend paying mega-corporations too - another weak social mood "bounce" trade.
To everything there is a season, and I would be cautious to assume that the "safety" trade can go on forever. Even more, I would encourage you to consider what happens to investor psyches should heretofore "safe" assets, like bonds, fall in price along side supposed "unsafe" assets. The teeter-totter of "risk on" to "risk off" could quickly become a very one-side "risk out" trade.
Is Europe Getting Better?
Leo Isaak
Yes, Spanish jobless claims fell but to 26.20% from 27.16% in the previous quarter. Any improvement is good, but let's cobble together more than one month before we start calling for a change in trend. Anyone that pays attention to employment data points knows that there is a myriad of ways to manipulate the data.
The media is so desperate to put a good face on what's happening that they often intentionally misrepresent data to make it sound better than it is.
France is not only a problem, but it very well may be the "pale horse" of the continent. I've stated for months now that people are wildly underestimating the problems that will come from France. Now we see that French jobless claims are hitting record levels. Almost 3.3 million French are out of work, and this is indicative of the vast majority of Europe.
To be sure, there are some pockets in and around Europe that aren't doing poorly, but like any puzzle, we must step back to see the full picture. What strikes me as interesting is how any piece of data that is "less bad" is immediately heralded as the sign of a bottom or a nascent recovery. Just because something is declining at a slower rate doesn't mean there is improvement. It likely means that it's difficult for things to get much worse without some exogenous event. Based on the data I'm about to present, I believe that things in Europe are actually worse than they've ever been.
Beginning with the PIIGS, Greek GDP is expected to contract by 7% by year's end. Industrial output is down 4.6% year-over-year, and the little manufacturing they have was also down 1.8%. Lending to businesses continues to fall, deposits are still leaving banks, and unemployment is a stifling 26.9% (under 25, it's over 55%).
The IMF has handed down a -1.8% forecast for Italian GDP, which is now down ~10% since 2007. PMI's are still in contraction - manufacturing in June ticked higher, but services fell and both are below 50. Unemployment is over 12% (great compared to the rest of the periphery), and its debt has ballooned to 130% of GDP in the last year (up 650bps from 2012). The YTD deficit is now 7.3% from just 2.9% in 2012, and S&P downgraded their sovereigns to one notch above junk, saying that Italy needs to run a surplus equal to 5% of GDP just to stabilize the debt ratio.
Are you seeing a recovery yet?
I'm not either.

We had a lovely time in Copenhagen. The room was nice. Small, but very complete. Lots of privacy after a nice wellcome. Very flexible on the in-and outcheck time. When we visite Copenhagen again we would like to stay at Flemmings house again!
It was my first time using WIMDU and All was perfect! The room is clean, beautiful and near the citycenter and Flemming is a fabolous Host! Thank you so much for everything!
Me and my girlfriend went to Copenhagen and stayed 3 nights at Flemmings apartment. We had a really great time, and Flemming is a really good host. Friendly, helpful, etc.
The place was nice and clean. No complaints!
A recommendation for everyone!
Flemming was a fantastic host, the room was a perfect base for us to explore Copenhagen. The room was very well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there. Flemmings house is full of character and is ideally situated in Frederiksberg. The highlight of the stay at Flemmings was showering while some gorgeous jazz/blues music was played into the bathroom through the speakers in there! We will be back again in the future! Copenhagen is a fantastic city.
Flemming was a most generous and kind host, who went out of his way to make our stay in Copenhagen enjoyable. The room was immaculately clean and well equipped, with a lovely outlook. We chose to walk to the city which took about 20 minutes, and there were buses available on the next corner. We would definitely stay there again.
Hosts and accommodation are in every respect really very recommendable, M & H-P
Gastgeber und Unterkunft sind in JEDER Hinsicht wirklich ausgesprochen empfehlenswert, M&H-P
Very nice home, apartment very well located and very nice.
Très bel accueil, appartement très bien situé et très agréable.
This room I would recommend for all who come with little luggage to Copenhagen. It is rather small and if you have more luggage, then that becomes a problem. But: The location is very good and so it is easy to drive by public transport into the center of town. On the road towards a "GoBike" station. This is a bike hire service which we found really great to explore the city. It's nice and clean and nice eingerichtet.Das bed is for 2 people also rather small, but perfectly fine.
Dieses Zimmer kann ich für alle empfehlen, die mit wenig Gepäck nach Kopenhagen kommen. Es ist eher klein und wenn man grössere Koffer hat, dann wird das zum Problem. Aber: Die Lage ist sehr gut und somit ist es einfach mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln in das Zentrum der Stadt zu fahren. Auf der Strasse gegenüber ist eine "gobike" Station. Das ist eine Fahrrad Vermietung die wir ganz toll fanden um die Stadt zu erkunden. Es ist schön sauber und nett eingerichtet.Das Bett ist für 2 Personen auch eher klein, aber völlig in Ordnung.
Mr Flemming was very welcoming !!!
Great studio, super clean and close
Lots of shops nearby for shopping
And possibility to rent bikes also in
Small shops. We found a 25 euro pr 48 pm
Otherwise bikes are rented from the city at 4 euro pr hour
Life is a bit expensive in Copenhagen.
Pr give you an idea of the coffee is approximately 3.50 euro minimum
And hot chocolate around 7 euro
Mr FLemming a été tres accueillant !!!
Studio génial, hyper propre et à proximité
Du centre ville.
Pleins de boutiques pas loin pour faire des courses
Et possibilité de louer des vélos aussi dans des
Petits magasins. On en a trouvé a 25 euro pr 48 h
Sinon les vélos de la ville se louent à l heure pr 4 euro
La vie est un peu chère à Copenhague.
Pr vous donner un ordre d idée , le café est a environ 3,50 euro minimum
Et un chocolat chaud environ 7 euro
It has been an optimal experience! We are received much good from Flemming that previously had supplied us all the information necessary in order to reach the apartment and in order to visit the city. We have appreciated discretion of the owners and the cleansing of the room. The apartment is a lot near the station of the meter that connects the city to the airport and the park of frederiksberg. Respect is an economic solution the average in city.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Is the U.S. Waging a 'War on Moms'?
The story that opens the new book "The War on Moms," would be a heart-stopper for any parent. After suffering a stroke in utero, a baby is born prematurely, with a hole in her heart, to a middle-class Long Island couple. Five-figure medical bills swamp the couple's woefully inadequate health coverage. The mother loses her job because she has to take so much time off work. The hard-working young family spirals downward into poverty.
Many such compelling stories can be found in journalist Sharon Lerner's book, which offers a refreshing take on the hard-core economic issues facing middle- and lower-middle class families. (While the title focuses on women and Ms. Lerner addresses family problems in the context of women's historic advances in the workforce, she points out that all the problems affect families as a whole.)
You will have heard before about the issues she addresses: Working parents pay more annually for good child care than for a year's tuition at a public university. Only 42% of working mothers in the U.S. stay home for even three months after childbirth. Pregnant women have great difficulty getting health insurance right when they need it most.
I approached this book with skepticism, thinking I had read it all before.
But Ms. Lerner's examples are fresh, reflecting the recession's crushing effects, and her treatment of these important work-family problems is concise and forceful. Her argument: Women need paid maternity leave, good affordable child care, health coverage and flexible work options. Even the three months' paid leave some higher-earning women are able to take is too short for many, and too many other women can barely eke out six weeks at home with their newborns. And heaven help the middle- or lower-income mother who gives birth to a child with disabilities or health problems so severe as to require full-time parental care.
The pressure on lower and lower-middle class families trying to raise children has been well-documented by Jody Heymann, a prominent researcher at McGill University in Canada, and advocacy groups such as the National Partnership for Women and Families and MomsRising.org have fought for changes.
The family-friendly safety net in the U.S., in fact, works better for high-paid professionals than for the poor: Twice as many high-earning parents have paid days off to care for sick children, compared with those on the low-wage end of the scale, Heymann has found. That is because most work-family supports here are based on employer rather than public policies.
Business groups have fought proposed expansion of family leave or paid sick days, countering that such measures are too expensive. Some employers, in fact, are cutting back the short-term disability pay that is the foundation for most paid maternity leave in this country, pressuring many mothers to rush back to work even sooner.
While critics might argue that women have a choice about how they manage the juggle, Ms. Lerner documents the fact that only a privileged few women really have a choice about whether to work–affluent women with high-earning husbands or accumulated wealth. The rest, who must work, have too few choices that usually are limited to rigid, long-hours demands that keep them away from their families far more than they would like.
Readers, do you regard U.S. policies as the equivalent of "a war on moms?" Do you think more needs to be done to provide a safety net for mothers? Or is an expansion of family-supportive policies too much to expect at a time when government is swamped in debt, taxes are rising and employers are struggling to provide jobs?

Off-duty cop victim of knife-wielding man in bar fight
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 10:25 a.m.
An off-duty Wrightsville Beach police officer was among two people injured when a convicted felon went on a stabbing spree inside a South College Road bar Friday morning.
Rochi Kevin Sutton, 23, is charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
According to Wilmington police Cpl. Kevin Smith, officers were called to the Sand Bar, 417 S. College Road, at 1:29 a.m. Friday on a report of a knife-wielding man attacking several patrons there.
When police arrived, a victim was found in the parking lot with a cut extending across his face from his ear through his nose, and Sutton was detained by an officer in the parking lot of a nearby gas station.
A short time later, a second victim – an off-duty Wrightsville Beach Police Officer – arrived at New Hanover Regional Medical Center with a cut to his forearm, Smith said.
The off-duty officer, whose name was not released, said he was cut by Sutton when he tried to intervene after Sutton assaulted several females, Smith said.
Sutton is being held on $200,000 bail.
In 2010, Sutton was the subject of a manhunt in a series of Wilmington armed robberies.
He was released from prison in September 2012 after serving just over two years in that case.
Among other items on his criminal history, which dates back to 2006 when he was 16, Sutton has been convicted of weapons theft, possession of a controlled substance, eluding arrest, assault on a female, felon in possession of a firearm and breaking and entering, N.C. Department of Correction records indicate.

Acres of Love provides community-based and culturally appropriate care for abandoned, HIV and AIDS-infected infants and children in South Africa.
After visiting Johannesburg and seeing firsthand how desperate these children's needs were, Fischer decided to organize a Park City branch of Acres of Love to sponsor one of the organization's 24 children's houses in South Africa.
The houses are called Forever Homes and are run by a house parent that oversees 10 to 12 children, Fischer said.
"AIDS is still a huge problem in South Africa and an average of 575 children are orphaned and abandoned every day, and the numbers are growing," Fischer told The Park Record. "The homes are not an orphanage, but a place that provides living expenses, medical care, transportation to school so they can lead normal lives."
To help raise money for the home, the Park City branch of Acres of Love will present a benefit concert at the Historic Kearns Mansion, 2245 Monitor Dr., on Friday, Sept. 6, from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
The event will feature New York-based singer-songwriter Greg Holden and the Warren Brothers, an American country duo.
Holden is known for writing the song "Home," which was recorded by "American Idol" Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, said Missy Kelly, who, along with Fischer, is the event's co-chair.
"Greg also wrote the song 'Lost Boy,' which is about the Sudanese refugees," Kelly said.
Holden performed at the ASCAP Café at the Sundance Film Festival, where he met Fischer and Kelly.
"We asked him if he would be interested in coming out to do a benefit and he was all over it," Kelly said.
The Warren Brothers, who are based in Nashville, wrote the Keith Urban hit "Little Bit of Everything" and the song "Highway Don't Care" that was recorded by Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.
"They, along with Greg, all are donating their time and talent to come to Park City and play for our organization," Fischer said.
In addition, the Matsiko World Orphans Choir will perform "Lost Boy" with Holden and local musician Decarl will also perform.
The fundraiser will also feature drinks and cocktails provided by Top Shelf and dinner catered by Culinary Crafts.
"There will not be a silent auction, but we will hold an opportunity drawing for a 'staycation' donated by Victory Ranch," Fischer said.
The cost to attend the event is a donation of $175, and includes VIP seating, food and drink.
Donations for the event can be made in advance at www.ticketcake.com , Fischer said.
"In our home in Johannesburg, the ages of the children range from 5 to 16, but we did recently adopt out a child who was 9 months old when he first came to us," she said. "The ultimate goal is to have these children adopted out, but since many of them have dire medical needs, they aren't the most adoptable children out there."
Also, once a child turns 18, the Forever Home will not force them to fend for themselves.
"Acres of Love also helps them set up apprenticeships or schooling for their future, so they can sustain themselves," Kelly said.
"The children in the Acres home the Park City chapter supports have become an extension of our family," Fischer said. "I can't imagine our lives without them."
The Park City Branch of the global nonprofit organization Acres of Love will host a benefit concert at the Historic Kearns Mansion, 2245 Monitor Dr., on Friday, Sept. 6, from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. Tickets are $175 and can be purchased by visiting www.ticketcake.com . The proceeds will benefit one of the 24 Forever Homes in Johannesburg, South Africa. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/pages/Acres-of-Love-Park-City-Chapter.

While the weather begins to warm up this season, everyone is taking advantage of the outdoors for some exercise. Be it jogging, hiking, cycling, walking, golfing, or tennis playing, any type of cardiovascular activity is great for the body.
Springing back into shape takes some dedication so here are some health and wellness tips to help stay on track.
Buddy Up: Find an exercise partner with the same fitness and weight loss goals in mind
Don't Get Discouraged: While the first couple weeks will show the most dramatic weight loss on the scale, it normally reflects water loss – the weeks following will be fat which comes off more slowly
Energy Boost: After a hectic day of work and family, it's hard to think of exercise, so be sure to take pure marine supplements such as premium oyster powder, shark liver oil, and wild Alaskan sockeye salmon oil for endurance, help in anti-inflammation, and a boost in immunity
Fitness Diary: Log down those fitness times and food intake to keep on track
A fitness lifestyle change can be achieved with realistic planning and a hint of fun.

17 Miracles Movie Reviews
User reviews on 17 Miracles
This is a faith-based film that is directed by T.C. Christensen and stars Jasen Wade, Jason Celaya and Natalie Blackman. This is not going to be a good review and it has nothing to do with my view of the faith, it has to do with the pacing of the film and weird structure of the film.. the film has a potentially good story but something went wrong and the director concentrated on the wrong things. Instead of focusing on the main character, the film concentrated on the miracles and it took away from the film. I can tell that the director tried to make an inspiring story in order to attract more followers, but the story is not strong enough and it is not convincing either. overall, if you are not a Mormon you will not like this film and even if you are a Mormon you will find it quite boring and uninspired

Within the context of a larger historic estate, 17th Century manor house, and landscaped gardens that are often open to the public, the 5 Hectare meadow garden used an area where silt from the adjacent dredged lake had been dumped and spread. Outbuildings were demolished and sight lines adjusted so that the new vistas from the centre of the meadow segments aligned on other key landscape features, either distant or near. The spiral mound at the centre allows visitors to get an overview. Rings of cherry trees help reinforce the circular pathways around the meadows. A new lake edge path runs up to a giant igloo shaped steel arbour where willows are being trained to enclose the outer form.

How to read such a lens spot diagram?
A lens spot diagram is an excellent means of evaluating lens quality "at a glance". but needs to be used in conjunction with other measures.
A lens spot diagram shown how a circular "spot" of light which should appear as a "spot" actually appears when viewed via various parts of a lens. It provides an immediate visual indication of quality at that point on the lens. Aspects such as astigmatism, coma, spherical aberration, chromatic aberration and more can be viewed instantly. This is valuable compared with being provided with numerical results which may contain more data but which are harder for the brain to interpret. The diagram you supplied is low enough resolution that it is hard to see some of the important details.
The black central circle is the Airy disk - the best possible image that a perfect lens with perfect focus could achieve - it is diffraction limited. See Wikipedia - Airy Disk
Outside the Airy disk you see light which has been diverted due to various aberrations.
Below are some somewhat stylised impressions of some typical aberrations.
He provides the following diagram
Also useful is this page from OSLO analysis.
OSLO is a lens designing program with a focus [ :-) ] on telescope lenses - details here.
He says:
The diagram supplied is of low visual quality - some of the information needed to understand what is being seen is very hard to see. Also, the context is not absolutely certain. A link or reference to the original would be useful.

Five months ago, moments before he was scheduled to take a final walk to a solitary room where his life would be prematurely ended, a young pit bull mix named "Mello" was saved.
Today, the same dog is slowly losing his mind behind the bars of the Nassau County, N.Y., kennel run where he spends his days and nights in boarding. Mello has done nothing to warrant his current situation...he was not a "bad dog," but rather, a victim of circumstance.
According to his advocates at the Desperate Dogs of Long Island Facebook page, Mello's prior owner had a boyfriend who did not want him anymore...that is how he wound up at the high kill animal control in New York. Though Mello was granted a life-saving reprieve, his current situation still keeps him locked away - existing rather than living.
His advocates have described the toll that kenneled life is taking:
He suffers in his own private prison - through no fault of his own.
He paces, pants, and spins in his cage- and this is what living in a kennel for too long...has done...to Mello.
Mello is going "kennel crazy" behind the bars of his kennel run - the dog who craves companionship and freedom is suffering. Please take a moment to network Mello's information:
- Currently located at a boarding kennel in Lynbrook, Long Island, N.Y.
- Dog friendly
- People friendly
- Not tested on cats
- Contact - 516-521-6703

Larry Hagman, the actor who played iconic villain J.R. Ewing on Dallas, died Friday at the age of 81.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Hagman died at a Dallas hospital from complications from his battle with throat cancer. The actor battled liver cancer and cirrohosis of the liver in the 1990s after decades of alcohol abuse.
Hagman found stardom in his role in 1965 on I Dream of Jeannie where he played Major Anthony Nelson.
The actor had just reclaimed his role as the villainous J.R. Ewing last year on Dallas after TNT brought the night-time soap opera back to life.
Hagman originally made his debut as the much hated evil brother of Bobby Ewing in 1978, which made him a superstar. It was one of the network's top-rate programs and built an international following which is why it was revived in 2012.
Although Dallas has been renewed for another season which is set to begin in January, it is questionable whether it will survived without the despised J.R. Ewing.
Do you believe Dallas will be able to continue without Hagman as J.R. Ewing? Scroll down and post your opinion below.

Backpacks are not just for school kids carrying their math books. Thanks to innovative designers, both new and legendary, backpacks are becoming a staple item for guys and even girls everywhere. There are ways to pull off the backpack and be taken seriously without looking like a slacker who refuses to grow up. No matter the vocation, we all need something to carry our personal and business items in. Sometimes a suitcase is simply too formal, while a dufflebag may be too large and akward to carry while going about daily functions. Enter stage left, the backpack.
A guy going to the office can switch from the mundaness of a briefcase and upgrade his backpack by opting for a nice leather or canvas one in either black, brown, or another solid earth tone color. The straps are almost always adjustable so make sure the fit is close to the back when wearing a suit blazer. If you are a young artist of any sort, then there is more range of styles and colors such as the camoflouge look, or the bold prints, and mixed fabrics. The college student can easily pull off a nice canvas or cotton backpack with several pockets and compartments for all those music devices, laptops, and oh yeah, books. Don't be afraid to spend a little more money on a nicer bag made of Italian Leather or animal skins such as snake. These options may set you back a little, but it will last a lifetime and usually get better with wear and tear.
Some designers who offer great backpack options are Marc Jacobs, Shipley & Halmos, Stussy, Rag & Bone, and Gravis. Stand out from the crowd, pack light, and carry your backpack everywhere.

Katharinenstadt (Baronsk), Russia
Katharinenstadt (Baronsk), a German Catholic colony, was established on the "Wiesenseite" or "meadow side" of the Volga River on the 27th of June 1766. The colony was founded by Baron Caneau de Beauregard,.
Population of the Village (Courtesy of Center for Volga-German Studies - Portland, Or.)
In terms of religious confessions, Katharinenstadt was a mixed community. Between 1803 and 1810 it was one of nine Volga area missions of the Jesuit Fathers. The founding of its deaconate might well have coincided with the establishment of the Tiraspol Diocese. The following belonged to the Katharinenstadt (Marxstadt) Deaconate were: Katharinenstadt (Marxstadt), along with Boregard, Obermonjou (Ober-Monjour), Luzern (Remmler, Michailovska), Zug (Gattung, Mariyinskoye), Schönchen (Paninskoye) and Solothuun (Wittmann, Solotoye). The Marxstadt Deaconate had essentially the same constituency in 1928, even though the settlements at least in part had different names: Marxstadt, Remmler, Zug, Schönchen, and Witmann.
Parishes of the Deaconate as of 1928:
Marxstadt Deacon and Pastor, Ehrenkanonikus Georg Baier
Remmler Pastor August Gabel
Zug Curate Johannes Herrmann
Schönchen Pastor Peter Riedel
Wittmann Exulant [?] Florian Schulz
Deacons of the Katharinenstadt Deaconate: Pastor Raimund v. Andressheykovich, 1856 – 1876; Anton Johannes Zerr, 1876 – 1878; Nikolaus Mitzig, 1880 – 1881; Georg Rieβling, 1881 – 1904; Philip Becker, 1904 – 1906; Johannes Beilmann III, around 1909; Raphael Loran, around 1911; Georg Baier sr., 1911 – 1928 (and later as well?).
The Katharinenstadt (or Marxstadt) Parish (Yekaterinenstadt/Bronsk)
Founding of the Settlement: June 27, 1766 (5); number of residents: 283 in 1766 (5), 4,654 in 1859 (28), 11,962 in 1912 (5). Origin of the Settlers: ?
Founding of the Parish: ? A branch of Boregard. Registered parishioners: 2,100 in 1887 (35), 2,348 in 1912 (28), 2,910 in 1919? (6). The Lutheran community was roughly three times than the Russian Orthodox community and, similarly, than the Catholic community. After World War I these relative numbers may have shifted strongly.
Chronological order of the clergy [with gaps, and overlap with a list above]: Pastor Johann Baptist Richard, SJ [a Jesuit], March 1803 April 4, 1812; Pastor Johannes Guillemaint, April 4, 1812 – Sept. 1820; P. Raimund v. Andressheykovich , 1856 – 1876; Anton Johannes Zerr, 1876? – 1878; Nikolaus Mitzig, 1876 – 1881; Vicar Franz Scherer, 1879 – 1884?; Georg Rieβling, 1882 – 1904; Philip Becker, 1904 – 1906; Johannes Beilmann jr., 1909; Vicar Martin Fix, 1909? – 1910?; Raphael Loran, 1910 - 1911; Georg Baier, 1911 – 1928 (and later as well?).
Churches: Parish church, erected 1815 in the neo-classical style. According to Bishop Keβler, it was the last church from the Jesuit era [The Tsar expelled he Jesuits around 1820 – Tr.]. By 1882 the church was an empty, unadorned house of God (17). So that badly needed heating (three iron ovens) could be added, two double windows and double doors first had to be added as well. The thirty-year-old altars were gilded, and the old altar paintings were replaced with new ones. For equipping the church properly, Pastor Rieβling spent around 6,000 rubles during his entire term of service. In 1903 he acquired two kneeling angels from the art institute of Stuflesser (60 cm [ca. 2 feet] tall), which cost 100 rubles (37). Also added were: beautiful statues of the Mother of God, the Apostles Peter and Paul (at the main altar), Corpus Christi for the Holy Sepulcher, and a large crèche as part of the Holy Sepulcher side altar. It is not certain whether these items of sacred art came from Stuflesser or from the Vogel Company in Hall near Innsbruck. Pastor Rieβling also had the altar area walls decorated with paintings (funds were insufficient to do the same for the nave) and added two large chandeliers. In 1908 the parish acquired from Stuflesser a Romanesque tabernacle and a throne, costing a total of 200 rubles (37).
According to Bishop Zerr, the Catholic community of Katharinenstadt had a pretty (new) stone church, a school building and residence for the Küster [sexton]-teacher, and a fine pastoral residence. (9, cf. p. 161).
Stone Chapel in the Cemetery.
The Boregard branch parish had a prayer house made of wood.
The pastorate was a wooden building adjacent to the church.
Cemetery [God's Acre]: Deacon Rieβling paid special attention to the cemetery and had it enlarged and planted with flowers.

A producer of natural stone paving, Forest Pennant, recognised that potential clients and their stakeholders were becoming increasingly interested in the carbon footprints of products used in their projects and, as such, decided to benchmark the footprint of its natural stone paving. In addition to satisfying customer demand and giving the company a 'green' edge over competitors, the process also allowed Forest Pennant to assess where production efficiencies could be introduced, reducing both carbon emissions and manufacturing costs.
To achieve certification to PAS 2050, the specification for the assessment of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services, Forest Pennant employed CICS to independently verify their claim of conformance. CICS assessed primary and secondary data and also visited the Parkend site to view and understand the processes involved. Although verification body site visits are not mandatory under PAS2050 certification guidance they add significant robustness to the exercise and provide additional credibility to the numbers. Indeed, PAS2050 certification without site visits from assurance providers should raise concerns from stakeholders.
In achieving conformance to PAS 2050, Forest Pennant was awarded CICS' PAS 2050 Assurance Mark. This can be used on any marketing literature to signify that the product's carbon footprint has been independently verified to the PAS 2050 international standard. CICS is one of only four verification bodies in the UK that is accredited to verify against the PAS 2050 Standard and the associated Code of Good Practice by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service).
Nicholas Horton, Managing Director at Royal Forest Pennant, said:
"In achieving PAS 2050 certification, and gaining CICS' Assurance Mark, we are able to demonstrate the product carbon footprint of our natural stone paving. By setting a benchmark for the industry, one which we believe shows that we have the lowest carbon rated natural stone in the UK, our next step will see us throw down the gauntlet to our competitors; with no comparable data we will be making our 'model' public, and all they will need to do is put in their data. The importance of this verification goes beyond our business, to the stone industry and wider building and construction sector."

Please be advised that the AMA Board of Directors ratified a new amateur motocross class structure for the 2008 racing season at its May 2007 meeting.
Nationally recognized amateur motocross classes for 2008 will include:
Displacements may be OEM or achieved by aftermarket modification.
The amateur motocross class structure for 2008 also includes Plus 25, Veteran 30 and Veteran 40 for riders at least 25, 30 or 40 years old, respectively, riding two- or four-stroke motorcycles with displacements of 86cc-open; and a Women's class for women riding two- or four-stroke motorcycles with displacements of 80cc-open.
The AMA amateur motocross classes for 2008 will also recognize a Pit Bike class. The specifications for the Pit Bike class are still being finalized and will be submitted for AMA Congress approval at the October meeting.
The 2008 structure for AMA Youth Classes will be the same as in 2007.
The new class structure is the result of a directive the AMA Board of Directors issued to AMA staff late last year to consult with technical experts in the field and recommend a measured approach to leveling the playing field between two- and four-stroke motorcycles in amateur motocross.
Also at the May meeting, the AMA Board of Directors ratified three rules that passed AMA Congress in 2006 for the 2007 season but were not ratified at the November 2006 Board meeting.
These additional changes to Amateur, Semi-professional & Youth Competition Rule Book take effect immediately:

Cabell Huntington Hospital has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ for its Advanced Primary Stroke Center by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for healthcare quality and safety in disease-specific care. The certification award recognizes Cabell Huntington Hospital's dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission's state-of-the-art standards.
Cabell Huntington Hospital underwent a rigorous on-site survey last week. A Joint Commission expert surveyor evaluated Cabell Huntington Hospital for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients and families, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.
"In achieving Joint Commission certification, Cabell Huntington Hospital has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients with stroke," says Jean Range, MS, RN, CPHQ, Executive Director, Disease-Specific Care Certification, The Joint Commission. "Certification is a voluntary process and I commend Cabell Huntington Hospital for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves."
"This Joint Commission review validated the processes already in place that assure evidence-based timely care for patients presenting to Cabell Huntington Hospital with symptoms of stroke," said Hoyt Burdick, MD, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Cabell Huntington Hospital.
Certification requirements address three core areas: compliance with consensus-based national standards; effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care; and an organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.

Secrets of Success
New Years Eve Picture Blog
Tuesday, January 01, 2013
They have nothing to do with New Years since I don't celebrate it anyway.
Somehow a box full of old slides surfaced at my mother's house. My youngest brother has a device to read them into files. And so he did. All 2500+ of them. Some are gems. Some are great memories. Most are out of focus heads cut off. Many show that we did indeed wear stupid looking stuff in the 1970s.
There were a couple of pictures of my family when we were just starting out.
Dr Dani's first Christmas at Mom's house. She's not in the picture here, but that very cute couple is still madly in love 38 years later.
When Easter rolled around, we paid another visit to Mom and Dad and I am guessing that She(WMBO) was operating the camera. I look at my father here and I wonder: he was 57 in this picture. Did I look that old at 57? Now at 59? I don't think so.
Ed, Jane, Dr Dani, Tim, our gold Buick Century station wagon. Before the days of SUVs and minivans.
In 1962 my oldest brother was at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. Mom and Dad took us to visit in a large 15 passenger van. Chris was 19. I was 9 and yes there is a picture of me with him, but this is my favorite. Mom is 41 years old here.
One of my siblings asked why she was biting her bottom lip. I figured it was because she was so darned proud of her firstborn that she was about to bust.
This one was not on the DVD, but my brother Larry (10 years younger than I) took it this year. He has developed into an excellent photographer.
Mom was 91 (and a half, she will insist on adding) when this photo was taken on Christmas Day.
I posted this one with the caption "Nice, Mom, real nice." The gesture of a thumb to the end of the nose and the extended finger waving means (or meant) "Kiss my a$$." And no way to sugar coat it, I was there when this picture was taken. No, the boy in the background is not me but my nephew and yes he looks like me.
My sister, who lives with and cares for Mom, says that this one, and the caption, made her laugh out loud.
Excellent! If I can bring a little joy and laughter to my old mother during the holiday, my work is done.

Actor Stephen Tomkinson spoke to the Chronicle this week about his love of Barnsley and his fond memories of his time filming in Grimethorpe for the hit film Brassed Off.
As the 20th anniversary of the closure of Grimethorpe Colliery looms, Stephen, who lives near Weybridge, Surrey, said he particularly enjoyed meeting people from the area and enjoyed his time in the Grimethorpe Miners' Welfare Institute so much, that both he and Pete Postlethwaite, his fellow cast member, both became members.
He also told of the 'happy marriage' the crew and actors shared with the Grimethorpe Colliery Band who recorded the film's soundtrack.
Stephen is currently starring on television screens as DCI Banks.
See this week's Chronicle for more of Stephen's memories.
Me and my daughter were in dci banks a couple of weeks ago! Stephen thompkinson is a lovely bloke... He played with my little girl between shoots!
She played the little girl in the second part of the first story of this season. (Amelia Lambert was the charactor she played!)
Stephen its a pleasure to see you today, Although my family and I left the Barnsley area 40 years ago I still love and miss the place.
My family, friends and neighbours were coal miners who lived in the pit houses on Wombwell Main Row.
Brassed Off portrayed the people and their plights brilliantly.
I remember sat in the thearte in Charlotte, North Carolina watching Brassed Off when a rather posh voice shouted, 'Come on Margaret this film is not for us'I can't relate to it'
.Obviously she did not know that the people of South Yorkshire are the salt of the earth.
A relative of my sister by marrage plays in the prestigous Grimethorpe Brass band.
Best wishes to you and yours.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Julia Schwartz interviews painter Joy Garnett about her work and studio process.
Garnett comments: "I think that painting is a radical gesture. Painting itself is a political act, an intervention, a détournement. By contrast, I don't think it is truly radical or politically expedient to try to hitch painting or any art, really, to an ideological or political agenda. As is often the case with so-called 'political art,' the moment that a work pushes through a clear, unadulterated message, it stops being art and crosses over to agitprop — propaganda. It becomes a pitch, an advertisement for a cause that displays the trappings of art on its surface. Art, by contrast, when it functions as art, is not clear, it's much weirder than that, and it does something more profound than promoting a particular message or political agenda. How can the age-old medium of painting serve as a radical gesture? To paint or to engage paintings as a viewer are activities that go against the grain. That's where the politics of the everyday comes in. Painting disrupts the ubiquitous dominance of the electronic image, of all that is infinitely reproducible, streamed endlessly, transmitted instantaneously. A painting asks the maker and viewer alike to give up very different parts of themselves than what they have become inured to giving up. It is radical in terms of where we're at."
Paul Behnke blogs installation images of the painting exhibition Three: Damien Flood, Joy Garnett, Andrew Seto, "a studied exhibition of contemporary abstractions that blur the lines between figuration and non-objectivity," on view at Theodore:Art through June 19, 2011.
Behnke's photos highlight the installation which the gallery "hung in a way that emphasizes the similarities and differences of the painters. By mixing the work and presenting it in small clusters Theodore allows the viewer to compare and contrast the concerns and approaches of each painter more readily without confining the paintings according [to] maker."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.
