Dolphins 5th Down
Posted by David Kennedy
From the Dolphins:
In addition to the big AFC East clash on the field, we're also going to debut our all-new Dolphins Game Day Live - 5th Quarter Show on MiamiDolphins.com. It's a live postgame show hosted by Barry Buetel and Nat Moore and will feature live press conferences, player interviews and much more.

Because I am moving back to France, I would like to sale my red Yamaha Mio. It was bought in 2004 (5 years) and I drove 14.500 km with it.
The location is Kebayoran Baru, near Plaza Blok M until Tuesday 28th July, and then Kemang.
I wish to sell it 7,5 jt. (750$).
The price includes 2 good-quality helmets.
All the paper work is in order : I have the blue book in my possession (the motorbike is registered in Jakarta !) and the STNK. I've just paid the taxes for another year.
I've taken great care of my motorbike : regular checkings at the garage, changing oil every 2000 km, changed the battery and the tires a year ago, changes the crutch a couple of months ago, etc.
It took me everywhere in Jakarta, and never broke down. The painting is a little bit damaged but it drives just fine !
Please contact me at 0813 813 116 55 until July 29th, and then you can send me an email at [email protected].
I can't seem to be able to attach a picture because I cannot compress to 19,5 Ko, but if you send me an email, I will send you some gladly !

Now the inaugural figure skating team event is completed, the pairs began their individual short program Tuesday night on NBC's primetime telecast. Only six couples were featured, including the two representing Team USA.
The top ranked pairs from Canada, Germany, China, and of course Russia rounded out this featured segment. Viewers who watched the team pairs short program earlier, this was virtually a repeat performance. Tampa Bay's own Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bertholomay followed the first of two highlights in pairs.
Team USA's National champions, Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, opened this televised program skating to contemporary music by Santana. They scored their personal best in international competition with an impressive routine.
Zhang and Bertholomay made their Olympic debut with a clean skate. NBC commentators stated they train in Ellenton, Florida. Recently the couple opened the Ellenton Ice & Sports Complex to the public. There were so many people the sheriff had to clear out the rink due to safety hazards.
Russia's own Tatyana Volosozhar and Maksim Trankov skated an exceptional short program to their hometown crowd who were on their feet. They received the highest score ever recorded. All they need to do is show up on Wednesday for their gold meal.
Here are the featured skaters in Tuesday's broadcast by order of appearance, scores, and placement.
U.S. - Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir - 67.44 (9th)
U.S. - Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bertholomay - 56.90 (14th)
Canada - Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford - 72.21 (5th)
Germany - Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy - 79.64 (2nd)
Russia - Tatyana Volosozhar and Maksim Trankov - 84.17 (1st)
China - Qing Pang and Jian Tong - 73.30 (4th)

Hello Anne- I've just discovered your wonderful site. A few months ago I found my great grandmother's birth record from Dreux in 1865- which reads like a small novel - all the incredible, touching detail (including his military career & their addresses & birth places) It made me cry reading it. Her mother was listed as "celibataire" (unmarried) in the margin & her father declared his daughter to be "naturel" - as you've explained. He also signed the declaration - which was incredible to see. This also gave me a signature to compare when I found his 1870 Paris marriage record to a different woman(!) Thanks once again. Your military links and info are very helpful!

From Anne: What a lovely story, Catherine. Thank you so much.

extra alif after tanween?
In level 52 we get a bunch of words that end with a consonant with tanween, followed by an alif. As far as I can tell, these words sound exactly as they would if the alif weren't there. What's the role of this alif at the end? Why is it there, and does it affect the pronunciation in any way?
Yes it affects the pronunciation when you pause or stop after the word (taking some breath) so the tanween goes and the alif is pronounced in that case. Unlike the other cases when there is a dhamma or kasra, where the pausa makes you drop the tanween and it becomes sukun. There are also other pausa rules that affect only the pronunciation, like the "ة" pronounced "t" but when you pause, it becomes "h"
Thanks for the explanation!
I'm not entirely sure I understand, partly I think because some of the language you used is a bit ambiguous. Can you give any examples to illustrate what you mean? That would make it clear.
You are right. I felt that I didn't explain well. In Arabic, the letters are consonants. Arabic uses vowel marks wich are not considered as letters. The vowel marks are dhamma (u), kasra (i) fat-hha (a/e) and sukun (no vowel). When a consonant is followed by a vowel, we put on it the corresponding vowel mark but when it is not followed by a vowel, we put the sukun mark instead. But in most of the writing, these marks are habitually omitted for the ease and speed of writing. We use them when we need some disambiguation. There is also the shadda mark wich indicates a doubled consonant.
Caution: In many styles of writing, when a letter has a shadda and kasra, the kasra is underneath the shadda instead of the whole letter. Be careful because you may mistake it with a fat-hha (it is on the top of the letter). But in handwriting, we often put the kasra under the whole letter even with a shadda on top. When a letter has a shadda and a fat-hha, don't forget to put the fat-hha on the top of the shadda or it would be a kasra. Maybe this is because the shadda symbolizes the second letter of the two doubled consonants. Like the word "أُمِّي" (my mother), it reads ummii; this is a doubled consonant; instead of writing two mims, the first with a sukun and the second with a kasra, we write one mim with a shadda and a kasra. The shadda symbolizing the second mim, should take the kasra instead of the first mim. Try to paste the word "أُمِّي" in windows notepad, and you will see the kasra under the whole letter, while here it shows it under the shadda and on the top of the letter.
Pausa rules:
1-You should omit the final vowel for every breath of talking. Because we should not breathe just after a vowel, we should continue talking in the same breath until we want to breath (even a little) where the last vowel must be omitted in pronunciation.
Caution: This does not apply to long vowels because they are reinforced by a letter (alif, waaw or yaa') like if we write "kuw" instead of "ku" or "kiy" instead of "ki" so it ends in a consonant, that letter cannot be dropped. We take an example of a definite noun in the nominative case: al-ki-taa-bu (the book), it becomes al-ki-taab when you stop just after it.
2-The taa' marbuuta "ة" is pronunced like ت but when you stop just after it, it becomes pronounced like ه and its vowel is omitted. This letter is always final. It comes at the end of some words, mainly feminine nouns. It comes also at some kinds of plural, and even some masculine nouns or proper nouns. We can note also that this letter is always preceded by either:
(A) an alif or
(B) a letter with fat-hha.
Usually they break these rules in informal speach and use informal rules: In the case (A) they pronounce this letter as a normal ت even before a pausa! For example, the word توراة (Torah) where they read it as tawrat instead of tawrah. And the word حياة (life) where they read it as hhayat even before a pausa. In the case (B) they pronounce this letter as an alif extending the fat-hha before a pausa or omit it when they continue speaking! In the case where the word is "mudhaf ilayh" i.e. in a form like "end of the story" which is "نهاية الحكاية", they pronounce "nihayat lhhikaya" instead of "nihayatu lhhikayah". So they don't omit the letter if the word is "mudhaf ilayh". Please note that the formal rules are simpler to learn.
3-The tanween with kasra or dhamma also is omitted in the pausa. In other words, the unwritten nuun that we pronounce and that is symbolized by two fat-hhas, two dhammas or two kasras is omitted in the last word of every breath. We take some examples: ki-taa-bun becomes ki-taab; qa-la-mun becomes qa-lam; dar-sin becomes dars; wa-ra-qa-tin becomes wa-ra-qah
4-The tanween with fat-hha is always written with a final alif except when the word ends with "ة". When we continue speaking, the final alif is not pronounced and we pronounce the tanween normally. But when we stop speaking, the tanween is omitted and the alif is pronounced extending the fat-hha. When we stop after ki-taa-ban, it becomes ki-taa-baa but we can never say ki-taab. The words ending with "ة" act like when there is dhamma or kasra and do not have an alif whith the tanween of fat-hha. Like wa-ra-qa-tan which becomes wa-ra-qah when we stop after it and we cannot say wa-ra-qa-taa.
Caution: There are some words that do not have a written alif in the tanween of fat-hha but the alif is pronounced! unlike words who have a "ة" at the end. These words are the ones that end with an alif followed by a hamza. We cannot write a hamza between two alifs. But the second alif which is omitted in spelling, still be pronounced in pausa. We take an example: the word sa-maa-'an ("sky" in the accusative case) becomes sa-maa-'aa when you stop just after it but it is written "سَمَاءً", not "سَمَاءًا". Maybe this rule is because it is ugly when we write a hamza between two alifs. Often, these rules are not applied correctly by people.
If you want more advanced topics, these are two rules:"الْعَرَبُ لَا تَبْدَأُ بِسَاكِنٍ وَلَا تَقِفُ عَلَى مُتَحَرِّكٍ" which means that the Arabs don't begin a word with a letter with a sukun and don't end speech with a vowel. (we have discussed the second one above in pausa rules) For example, Britain in Arabic is "بَرِيطَانْيَا" (ba-ri-tan-ya) but not bri-tan-ya. This is because of the first rule. But sometimes in speaking, they may say bri-tan-ya according to the original pronounciation.
There are some words that have only one letter (consonant), like "عِ" pronounced 'i which is the verb to be aware/to realize/to perceive in the imperative. When it is the last word or single word, you pronounce it 'ih "عِهْ" and this haa' is called "هاء السكت" and is intended to protect the vowel from falling and leaving the consonant alone and unpronounceable. Even when the word is preceded by another word it still be added because a final word with a single letter can never occur in Arabic. This causes two rules to contradict: When a word with a single letter is at the end of speech, the first rule says that this letter being the first in a word, cannot have a sukun and the second rule says that this letter being in the end of speech cannot have a vowel. So will it have a vowel or a sukun?! That's why the haa' is used. There are other uses of this haa'. For example "why" in Arabic is "لِمَاذَا" or "لِمَ". If we would like to say "Why you did that?" we say: "لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا" but when we want to say only Why?", we say then: "لِمَهْ" (li-mah) because this word cannot be pronounced as lim.
There are also some confusing fonts where a miim which comes after a laam becomes a little thing hidden under the laam. In arabic fonts, not only the letters change shape but they interact with each other. Please note the difference between the two writings of the word "المبنى" (the building). Note the second miim shape under the laam and the nuun merged. We can see also how the yaa' is attached to the jiim in the word "يجمع" (collects).
Wow. You've explained a lot more than just the thing I asked about, and most of it is clear. I'm going to have to come back to this comment and re-read it every few weeks until it all sinks in.
You could make a new course focusing on Arabic spelling and pausa rules, introducing these concepts one by one and teaching a bunch of examples that illustrate each one, before building the next concept on and adding new examples that show it. I would love to take that course.
One question I have after my first reading of these comments: How do we know which word ends at the end of a breath, and which word we "continue speaking" after? Is it at the end of each sentence? Or after a certain number of syllables? Or after particular sounds or sound combinations? Or something people can do whenever they want, so that the same sentence may be said with different sounds because people may choose to say it with a pausa in different places?
Yes, it is indeed whenever you want to stop. It is like a full stop or a comma, but comes naturally, you don't need to force the pausa in any place. Maybe I will try to make a course about Arabic in the future. I don't know from where to start. I need to clarify many misused things. Mentioning everything is not enough, I should be clear. Also I need to be organized rather than mentioning miscellaneous things, therefore, I would be very slow. I shall be careful and try to minimize errors. I think, processing slowly and correctly is much better than processing quickly and incorrectly. Because a detailed explanatory course may only slow down the learning process while a course with incorrect or unclear things may cause one to get it wrong and to be confused and unsure and that would discourage people to continue such an unpleasant course until the end.

Health communication internship opportunity for Spring 2011
The National Cancer Institute's Health Communications Internship Program (HCIP) is now accepting applications for its Spring 2011 intern class.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the largest of the 27 institutes and centers comprising the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the Federal Government's principal agency for cancer research and training. The NCI coordinates the National Cancer Program, which conducts and supports research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients.
The NCI recognizes that health information dissemination is key to raising public awareness about new cancer treatments, support for cancer patients and their families and prevention strategies. To that end, in 1975 the NCI established the Health Communications Internship Program (HCIP) to attract individuals interested in careers in health communications and science writing.
The HCIP gives highly qualified graduate students and recent graduate school graduates the opportunity to participate in vital health and science communications projects in one of the many offices that make up the NCI. Interns will select an area of emphasis: Health Communications or Science Writing. Six-month and one-year internship terms are offered.
Successful Health Communications applicants have some science background as well as experience and/or education in any of the following areas: public health, epistemology, public relations, health education, communications, science writing, statistics, social marketing or journalism.
Health Communications interns:
Applications are due by September 7th. Apply online, See web site for further details.

Tomorrow, Older Bro and I head into the hills for what I'm calling the Second Leg Of Our Google Earth Small Streamfest 2012 World Tour, and yes, we're selling t-shirts in the lobby.
Trips like this generate enough hope to power a small city, though all that wattage rubs against the very real possibility of abject failure and disappointment, so you wouldn't normally make a big public deal about it (like posting it on a blog or anything).
Still, we're planning to confirm a couple places we have been, try a couple we haven't, and also to fish some of our "normal" spots. (Hey, we know there are fish there, so why not?)
Because you're fishing and looking instead of just fishing, you don't catch as many fish on these trips as you could, but I see it as an investment; fewer trout now mean more places — and more trout — in the future.
And unlike your 401k, it's an investment that's probably on solid ground.
Since I'm posting this late on a Friday afternoon on Pacific Standard Time (thereby ensuring it'll be read by upwards of three people), I'll stop here, except to note that looking for new fish and new water in your own neighborhood offers the best of all worlds.
You're dealing with few exotic diseases and a minimal carbon footprint, yet unlike that spot halfway around the world, there's a chance you'll make it back next weekend.
See you on the map, Tom Chandler.

Tractor Trailers Helping To Create A Mobile Network Of Weather Observations
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on October 05, 2012 @ 8:25PM
Created on October 05, 2012 @ 6:42PM
Local citizens are helping collect more weather observations than ever before. The National Weather Service is heading up a $9.6 million dollar project to install weather sensors to tractor trailers.
The sensors as a group are known as a mesonet. Fixed mesonets, or those that stay in one location, have been around for decades. But this is one of the most ambitious mobile mesonet projects in history.
Thousands of weather sensors have been attached to tractor trailers traveling all over the country. The sensors automatically measure air temperature, wind, pressure, humidity, and even the temperature of the road. All of this information is being sent to the National Weather Service. The idea is that more observations in more areas will help improve current weather forecast models and help them to become more accurate.
"They're tending to get out into areas that have not been really sampled before, and I think that's the excitement of it...is sampling areas that traditionally have not been. And as the fleet over the years will grow, there'll be more definition which is given" says Paul Heppner who manages the installation program.
The sensors collect information every 10 seconds, meaning that with thousands of sensors out there, the National Weather Service gets in literally millions of observations every month. They're still figuring out how best to use this information. In addition to improving forecasts they hope to be able to improve warning time during severe weather.
A lot of people 5 News talked to today think it's a pretty cool idea.
There was a lot of discussion in particular about how these sensors will measure the temperature of the roads as the trucks are traveling and some folks already had some ideas to make that better.
We got this comment on Facebook from one woman who said this: "It's an interesting idea, but what about the people who don't live near highways...so the data isn't really helpful." It's important to note that this is just the third year of the project and expansion into other areas may be possible in the future.

LA dwellers are all too familiar with harmful fumes and toxins that creep up and leave their marks all over exposed skin surfaces. Time to scrub away all the dirt that builds up during the day. The pick for this season: Squid Balm's hand-crafted soaps.
Squid Balm's bar soaps consist of pure vegetables, fruit and seed oils. Some of the soaps contain avocado oil while others do not. Avocado oil has some notable skin benefits. The oil contains sterolin and antioxidants, which helps in preserving youthful skin and slows down the aging process. Collagen production also increases, which also reverses signs of aging. Others soaps are olive oil based. While olive oil has anti-aging effects, it is also an excellent moisturizer. For those with sensitive or dry skin, the olive oil infused soaps might be worth the try. Currently, Squid Balm has decided to no longer use Palm oil and is testing out the development with its newest soaps which include Lemon Drop Exfoliator, Ginger Fig Exfoliator, Summer Melon, Banana Cream Pie, Apples& Honey, and Lemongrass Green Tea.
Since these are solid soaps, they do not contain preservatives. In a concentrated form, the bars of soap are not distilled with water like certain liquid soaps. Therefore, a very little amount is actually needed. Whenever possible the line tries to use only organic versions of oils and other ingredients in trace amounts. Sqiud Balm is also very economical and green in its presentation. All paper wrapping and labels for the soaps are from recycled paper. Very compact packaging means less material is wasted.
I had the opportunity to try five different types of soaps: Rosemary Eucalyptus with olive oil, Lemon Drop Exfoliator with olive oil, Honey Ginger with olive oil, Honeysuckle with avocado oil, and Pomegranate Bliss with avocado oil. Since I do not have dry skin, I did not note any differences between the avocado oil based soaps from the more moisture providing olive oil based soaps. While the Lemon Drop Exfoliator has a new formula that does not contain palm oil, I wanted to check for myself if this soap worked just as good as the others. After a month of steady use of the other soaps, I switched to the Lemon Drop Exfoliator. I believe the effects were the same with the Lemon Drop Exfoliator: all soaps leave the skin cleaner, softer, smoother, and brighter. Lather up with just the soap before rinsing with water. Observant eyes will notice the small amount needed to achieve good skincare. One of the best traits about Squid Balm soaps is the scents. I simply adore all of the fragrance oils for their relaxing effect around "me" time. The true "green" quality of the soaps soon becomes evident. It is like entering a garden with fresh fruits, flowers and herbs. All the fragrance oils are phthalate-free, yet another green quality of the Squid Balm bar soaps. There are only two cautions worth mentioning. Keep the soap away from wet spaces after the showers- it maintains the soap in a sturdy and manageable form. Also, be careful around the eyes. Natural products can irritate sensitive eyes.
Squid Balm contains many lines of products including soaps, shampoos, conditioners and lotions. The brand is certified as vegan by vegancosmetics.org. It is also certified as cruelty-free by PETA and Leaping Bunny. The line is nut-free and anhydrous (does not use water). To add color, the line uses botanicals. It does not contain synthetic colors or other harmful colorants. Finally, the line is silicone and sulfate free.

"Pawn Stars" cast member Corey Harrison has something to be very proud of. The star of the History Channel reality show has lost almost half of his body weight since he had lap band surgery in 2010. Harrison had a major wakeup call after visiting his doctor. The physician prescribed him medication to prevent diabetes. He was only 28 years old at the time. Way too young to be talking about diabetes and heart attack prevention with his doctor. He tipped the scales at scary 402 pounds.Harrison knew that he had to take control of his life and wanted to be healthy. It was reported on Monday that he told People Magazine," I literally drove straight from the doctor to the lap band center and had the surgery almost immediately. Back then, the surgery was too expensive for my bank account, so I had to pay with four credit cards, but it was something I had to do -– I was not going to get diabetes!"
Since having the surgery, Harrison has been doing very well. He has seen fantastic results. The first six weeks after surgery he lost an amazing 50 pounds. He further progressed by losing another 100 pounds throughout the first year. He has since made more progress by losing 40 more pounds. He is now at a healthy 210 pounds. Fans have been congratulating him since he has made the big change.
Harrison has expressed that he is very happy at where he is and with the progress that he has made . He has completely changed his lifestyle for the better. He has been going to the gym on a regular basis. He looks very happy and healthy. CNN report Harrison saying "I box 12 rounds a day five days a week." He also has a passion for snowboarding. When he was heavier, it was impossible for him to enjoy the sport. He has now started snowboarding again. Hopefully Harrison will stay on the right track with his health so he can continue to enjoy the things he that he has missed out on.
It seems as though his success has been contagious. His reality show co-star and longtime good friend Austin 'Chumlee' Russell has decided to drop some major weight as well. He has lost nearly 100 pounds. He has gotten down to 225 pounds and is feeling much healthier.

I pored over his writings—his stories, essays and hundreds of book reviews—and sought out his family members, his friends, even his various psychologists over the years, but there were frustratingly few clues about the racial terms in which he had seen himself and whether he thought he was pretending to be something he was not. Instead, I learned more about my father's romantic life than a daughter would ever want to know.
I heard about the Midwestern girl back in the 1950s who hated New York City and the Greenwich Village world of my dad and his pals, but her pride kept her there because Anatole Broyard hadn't yet tried to sleep with her. There was my dad's friend Charlie, who gleefully told me of the time he witnessed my father pick up a woman sharing the elevator car in the seconds it took to reach the ninth floor. Then there was Vincent, who lent his apartment to my father one night so he could take a girl there. Afterward, Vincent noticed that the toilet base was shaky, and he asked my father what the hell had gone on. Vincent and I stood in the doorway of his tiny bathroom as he laughingly recalled my dad's story: that he and the girl were just taking in the view. He invited me to peer through the narrow window—I'd barely be able to make out the Empire State Building peeking above the skyline, he assured me—but I was reluctant to picture my father having sex on a toilet.
That particular episode occurred before my parents were married, but I gathered from my dad's friends and correspondence that his shenanigans never stopped completely. I'm sure his behavior hurt and angered my mother, but she was reluctant to discuss it with me beyond saying that my father loved women and he never pretended otherwise. For my part, his Don Juan tendencies further turned him into someone I didn't recognize as my dad.
He never shied away from discussing his popularity with women. But I'd thought of his days as a ladies' man as belonging mostly to his two decades of bachelorhood before marrying my mom. I'd been under the impression that once my brother and I came along, we had become his true calling. After all, his friends had told us what he'd said to them: You think you've been in love in your life, and then you have children and you realize that all those other relationships were dalliances. He spent hours tossing us, torpedo-like, onto a bed piled high with pillows, listening to us recount the long (and doubtless boring) plots of movies and rehearsing the lines of school plays or dance-recital moves.
He lost his temper sometimes, he yelled and acted selfish, but he always seemed interested in us, in our opinions on things and what we were doing. Now I wondered if this role of consummate dad was genuine or if everyone who encountered him was made to feel like the center of his universe; whether his need to be seen in a heroic or attractive light stemmed from a fear of being exposed as a fraud. No matter the motives for his seductive behavior—the more I recognized it as fundamental to his being, the more I saw its impact on me.
Among his correspondence, I found an envelope containing two dozen photos of young women, wearing bathing suits or short shorts to better show off their legs (at my dad's request?), and a sheet of paper covered with female names and mysterious notations: G, B or SS. I spent months wondering whether the letters represented pregnancies: "girl," "boy" and "stopped short"? Then one day I showed the page to a male friend, who pronounced: "good," "bad," "so-so."

I have been given some code written by a developer that could not spell to save his life.
For example, in the OUTPUT of the program, he has spelled the word 'circular' as both "Circual" and "circiual", and the word 'following' as 'follwing' (not to mention all the typos in the code and comments).
I want to clean up some of the typos in the code, but since some of the spelling is inconsistent, it wouldn't be easy to find all variants of misspellings of the word.
Does there exist a fuzzy search tool (such as a plugin for Notepad++ or vim) I could use to look for substrings that are similar to 'circular'? A simple spell-check tool wouldn't work (it's code -- the word 'circular' could appear in part of a variable name).

In ground-effect hang gliding as a focus (abbreviated to ground-effect gliding (GEG), the pilot intends to stay in positive ground-effect assets. Although ground-effect gliding occurs during the launch and landing of most (not all) flights of other hang gliding types of flying, the pilot who intends to launch, fly, and land in ground-effect assets joins a special GEG community and faces a set of challenges of design to meet the safety and enjoyment aspects of GEG. GEG occurs going slow as well as going fast. A GEG pilot might select equipment and sites with slow flying in total focus; another GEG pilot might select equipment and sites for faster flying.
Flatland GEG (FGEG) has been practiced by many who later intend to get into non-GEG hang gliding; the intent of a particular run and lifting of feet off the ground is familiar to many non-GEG pilots as they first practice running with their new hang glider (usually in this instance the hang glider is designed to do non-GEG hang gliding. In the literature "flatland long gliding" (FLLG or FLG) has been described; such FLG is a GEG that has a focus on getting long glides when on flatland only, that is, no slopes are involved in FLG; ideally the land is truly level. Precisely, though, FLG can occur beyond ground-effect, so a proper subset of FLG can be GEG; for instance, the FLG that places the high-hat wing up out of ground effect would not be GEG.
FGEG stays in ground effect for launching, flying, and landing. Long-jumpers in official track and field competions ruled by such as the Olympic rules are not allowed to carry devices like wings or weights that might give distance advantage to the long jumper. However, aside from those rule sets, a long jumper who does use wings to aid in the gliding lengthening of his or her jump flights begin to be in the GEG community. Distance records could be established for FGEG in many categories (pilot weight, wing weight, age, gender, altitude above sea level, etc.).
http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=89209 Discussion some and image.
Short or very long smooth slopes for GEG may be naturally found or artifically manufactured or groomed. A slope for GEG may be commercially operated, part of a public park, a public street, or private land.
Defining thresholds for GEG is part of the adventure of exploring GEG. Notice that it is possible to hang from a wing while the pilot's body is set hung within a wing chamber and even hung in a way that the pilot's body during gliding is actually above the wing.
Who holds what GEG record? What are some feats that might be attractive to GEG pilots? The FAI does not yet recognize GEG as a distinct category of records; however, that won't stop GEG pilots from recognizing special achievement!

The other day someone asked me "How long did it take you to get past the beginner phase?"
They went onto ask how long I thought it might take them to get as good as me – or at least good enough to get decent photographs.
So, I answered their question: 2-3yrs. It took me…
2-3yrs to get past the beginner phase. However, it took my sisters (who learnt directly from me) about 6 months.
Doesn't that sound crazy?! How did it take my two sisters just 6 months to get to a competent level, when it took me 2-3yrs?
Good question…
No… it wasn't the equipment, because we all use the same equipment.
Well, the bonus was, they had was me… I had spent 2-3yrs translating technical jargon and putting it into practice.
That is why it took me so long. No one could explain photography to me simply. They would talk about theory and what the camera does, but they didn't tell me what to do.
Half the time I was confused, because books and magazines all wrote about the technical aspects of photography, not what to do, to take a good photograph.
I wanted to know how, NOT why, when, who, what etc…
So when my sisters wanted some help, and wanted to understand how to take beautiful photographs, I simply took the technical jargon and filtered it for them. I explained what they needed to do.
Don't get confused here… it isn't that I didn't explain the technical aspects of photography, but I explained first how they could get stunning photographs.
From then on they were at a level where they could find their own unique style and experiment further, because they had a foundation.
Once they knew how to take beautiful photographs, THEN they began to pick up the technical terms, and understand the mechanics of photography.
It's a bit like learning to drive… you get taught how to drive by a parent, or instructor.
Once you've learnt how to drive, you pass a test, and then after that you may learn about the mechanics of the car, how it works etc.
But learning about the mechanics of your car isn't going to help you pass your driving test… only active practice teaches… which is exactly what I did with my sisters.
Even now, my sisters are better hands on than talking about photography mechanics… but which one is important? The skill of being able to talk about the mechanics, or the skill of being able to take breathtaking photographs?
You tell me… which would you rather be able to do? I opted for breathtaking photographs and my sisters did too…
So if you want to know how to take just breathtaking photographs in as little time as 6 months, take on my challenge for you…
Take on my challenge for you…

If one were to search Google today for a place called Communications Hill, the top results would show reviews of the San Jose real estate spot on FourSquare.com and Yelp.com. Communications Hill is a relatively new residential community complete with a growing infrastructure including Vieira City Park and Fire Station 33. However, it is the paved trail which intersects with a grand 223 step outdoor stairway that draws a number of non-residential visitors to the location with their fitness challenges in mind.
Based on on-line reviews, it seems Communications Hill is onto something great with the development and infrastructure, but some reviewers voice concerns when it comes to visitors stopping by to enjoy the trail and the stairway. Opinions about Communications Hill range in rank from 7.7 out of 10 on FourSquare to 3 out of 5 on Yelp.
A sample Yelp review states, "It's a great view while running and it's got a runners dream come true.... hills... And stairs!!!!!" While on the other hand, another reviewer on FourSquare says, "Let's all follow the non residents to their homes, take all their parking & then obnoxiously exercise until they know how it feels."
Development plans
For a closer look into KB Homes development of Communications Hill, the project's specific plan can be viewed on the City of San Jose's web page. According to the website, the project's specific plan: was adopted by the San Jose City Council in 1992; the plan is for a mixed use development proposal for up to 2,200 residential units (single-family and multi-family); up to 67,500 square feet earmarked for commercial and retail uses; and lastly, the plan includes 55 acres of industrial park uses, parks, open space, trails, streets, storm water facilities, and other associated supporting infrastructure, as allowed within approximately 312 acres of the Communications Hill Specific Plan Area.
A follow up story, Communications Hill media reports and tips for visiting, will examine media reports and 10 tips for visiting Communications Hill.

Dec. 8, 2010
SEATTLE - Track and field action returns to the Dempsey Indoor on Thursday evening with one of the most fun and unique events on the calendar, the Purple and Gold Intrasquad meet. Action begins at 5:30 p.m. with events including the sprints, jumps, vault, throws, and some interesting twists to the javelin throw and relay races.
With approximately 35 athletes on each team, bragging rights will be on the line, as returning All-Americans will mix with freshmen looking to impress early in their Husky careers.
The pole vault and long jump kick things off at 5:30, and the first running event will be the 60-meter hurdles at 6 p.m. Additional field events will include the weight throw, high jump, triple jump, shot put, and the "turbo jav", using a javelin training implement that rewards excellent throwing form but punishes those that are a bit off.
Running events will be highlighted by the second-ever World Championship at 88.11-meters, or the exact distance of the Dempsey straightaway which reaches back past the usual starting line for 60-meter sprints. Well-rounded distances (300-meters and 600-meters) will also be contested.
The night will conclude with the Allx307-relay, where every member from each team will line up to go once around the Dempsey oval on a marathon relay. Last year the Gold team got the relay win to secure its overall victory, edging Purple in the final relay in a time of 22:25.60 to 22:46.30, an impressively close race for the number of laps. Large leads can come and go quickly if, for example, a fleet-footed sprinter gets a burly thrower in their sights.
Returning Husky All-Americans expected to compete in some form include Jeremy Taiwo, Elisa Bryant, Scott Roth, Kyle Nielsen, and Joe Zimmerman.

If you want to make a good impression ~ host your event at the top of the Monterey Marriott, just as Susan Britton and Sharon Pezzolo did with their Friends of the Monterey Symphony this afternoon in celebration of this weekend's 'Sizzle from Iceland', Judith Ingolfsson, violinist extraordinaire, with Max Bragado-Darman as The Monterey Symphony Music Director, conducting.
These events will be held this weekend only at both Salinas and Monterey (see ticket info) ( and see Monterey Symphony's friends in a slide show below)
# 1 The views in the Ferrante Room at the very top of the hotel are stunning.
#2 Not only does food taste as good as it looks
#3 The service is as efficient as any stealth military operation, only they are a lot friendlier.
Luncheon was launched with cocktails and soon after seating there were huge terrines of smooth mushroom soup topped with a puff pastry that almost disappeared before it got onto the fork. There was just enough time for everyone to oooh and ahhh over it.
Then came the main course, a perfectly cooked filet of beef, snuggling next to a small mound of mashed potato, and a spray of asparagus delicately balanced with a paper thinb slice of yellow squash over the top.
And while we are talking about being efficient - the luncheon had several other stealth attractions underway - the 'Bling' Sported by all the friends was worn to promote one of thier next funding events - (see slideshow) And they have 13 this year so far.... I think we know who should be taking over the Pentagon - These friends would have the world sharing the one world of music (instead of all the strife, put it into the notes!) After all you do know that music is the universal language - and delicious food can't be far behind!
Isn't this where the Pièce de résistance comes in?
I think that means dessert, no? With a real cup of no nonsense coffee and real cream, the brigades of Lemon Merengue pie's arrived en force - and all was quiet for awhile......
Then the entertainment commenced with some very funny reports from the frontlines, Max Bragado, conductor knows as much about the food eaten by famous composers than anyone I have ever met - and I think he should do a duet of sorts along those lines. And Judith had such grace in the delivery of her talk, I can't wait to hear her play, because grace and sizzle, well it sounds like a great combination for the ear as well as the taste buds.
You may have missed the meal, but you are welcome to come these next few days to feed your soul.

Muddy Waters
In Waters Rankings 2008, Waters stirs the mud and confusion in the CEP/EP community by having their constituents vote on both an ESP solution and an CEP solution set, but giving both awards to vendors with stream processing (ESP) engines.
The two CEP/ESP related Waters' categories were, Best Streaming Data Management Solution and Best Complex Event Processing Solution. Waters awards Best Streaming Data Management Solution to data/event stream processing company StreamBase; and then awards Best Complex Event Processing Solution to Oracle's BEA product, which is built on top of another data/event stream processing engine. Confused?
Alexander Alves, currently employed by Oracle, previously having worked for BEA Systems, in Best Complex Event Processing Solution, observes:
"Regardless, I find it intriguing that Waters not only does not state the differences between the categories, but also uses the term CEP several times in the SDMS category.
I guess the verdict is that there is still confusion amongst the experts regarding event and stream processing… And that both products must be very good."
Of course, Alex must be politically correct, and rightly so, since he works for Oracle/BEA and Water's gave them an award. But on what tangible, objective basis for Best Complex Event Processing Solution?
According to our 2007 survey, CEP/EP Reference Customers 2005-2007, BEA was in last place based on public CEP/EP reference clients.
Waters' award for Best Streaming Data Management Solution to StreamBase is more credible. Congratulations StreamBase. Most would agree that StreamBase is a streaming data management solution (SDMS), but so are Apama and Coral8 (and BEA etc etc).
Waters simply muddies the water, unfortunately.

Having looked at esper code, I question the ranking. Esper is an useful Open source project, but I wouldn't rank it as top. There are significant design limitations of esper, which I feel make it inappropriate for many of the scenarios I know from first hand.
I don't know how IBM BPM got ranked as the top product either. The last time I looked IBM's BPM I wasn't impressed. Maybe they're counting the "all ibm" shops that are stuck using IBM products. In anything, many IBM middleware products are painful to use and mind numbingly frustrating.

Hi Peter,
Yes, these awards simply brings Waters credibility, objectivity, expertise and methodology into serious question.
Yours faithfully, Tim

Hi Peter
I don't know how far you researched around Esper, and I am curious on why you'd need to look at some product source code to get a taste on it – this would obviously defeat any other (non open source) product evaluation. Obviously Waters did not took the same methodology for its ranking.
As far as I remember, we answered your questions on many of the public places (InfoQ, TheServerSide etc) where Esper was discussed and where you contributed questions, and there is largely room for further discussion (not FUD) on Esper dev and user forums if you want to get into more details regarding any limitation you might have encountered. As with any products – including IBM ones, there are lovers and haters, and there are support systems, open forums and identified point of contacts to discuss things in constructive ways if you want to.
Also, bear in mind that Waters did not awarded Esper but BEA / now Oracle product. You might thus not balance Waters judgement vs your own personnal technical opinion about Esper as those are different products with a different ecosystem around.
I'd also be curious to hear about your comments regarding other ESP/CEP products if you have by the way.

Hi, just a word from Waters, the magazine in question.
The Waters Rankings are basically our reader choice awards for subscribers who work for investment firms. We do not allow vendors or PR firms to vote and in fact, their votes are scrubbed out of the final tally. I assure you that the 600 voters for this year's Waters Rankings chose the final winners.
We have no influence over the outcome and if anyone feels that anything other than the deserving firm won, please make sure this doesn't happen again next year by voting and encouraging your colleagues to vote. Not having used these products ourselves we rely on our readers to rank all products according to their own experience.
Secondly, one person's experience with a provider might differ wildly from the next. I love my Mac but I have colleagues that would never use anything but a PC.
One of the challenges of Waters Rankings is the sheer number of categories and potential for sub-categories. We often have to merge some potential sub-categories into one category in order to make this a manageable survey for the voters. For example, we could easily have multiple categories for order management systems but we keep it to two: Best sell side and buy side OMS. At 22 categories, we feel that we are close to hitting the ceiling.
If we were solely a CEP-focused publication, we would easily have multiple awards for the CEP-pies or whatever award would honor the CEP industry.
This is obviously still a relatively new industry and terms such as CEP and ESP are often used interchangeably by the very knowledgeable people we speak with. There is a whole post on this site dedicated to solidifying the terminology of CEP/ESP. We welcome the feedback and hope to offer a clearer distinction in next year's Waters Rankings.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for stopping by and posting.
Please point out one public reference client that is an investment firm that has announced an Oracle/BEA event processing solution.
Can you post the URL to one public release where an investment firm proclaims they are using the Oracle/BEA event processing solution?
Perhaps the Waters voting methodology is flawed?
Your faithfully, Tim

I fail to see how our methodolgy is flawed. The readers help create the list of nominations and then choose the winners. We do not ask for URLs of press releases and firms are loathe to say which solutions they use, as you well know.
Tim Bass says:
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 7:30pm
Hi Phil,
Just as you say "firms are loathe to say which solutions they use, as you know well" we can say, in reply, that "software vendors are keen to encourage users to vote for their products in award votes, which you know well."
Depending strictly on voting is a flawed methodology in a world where vendors can influence the votes, and larger vendors have greater reach and influence, as you know well.
Regarding reference clients. Yes, users are loathe to agree to act as reference clients, that is why when vendors have public reference clients it is very noteworthy.
So, personally speaking, I would trust a number of major customers standing up and saying "we use a product to solve this use case" versus a group of users who may or may not even use the product, voting because they are being encouraged to vote.
Also, you should look at other factors, such as time in the marketplace, etc. if you want a more realistic and accurate methodology. Voting can easily be influenced by people who don't even use the product in practice.
Yours faithfully, Tim

Hi Alex,
thanks for posting a response. I looked at Espers code to see how it compiles queries to pattern and how it handles complex queries. I also took a closer look at the cube functionality in Esper to try to understand how it differs from existing technology. You have access to my blog, so I would suggest reading my recent entries regarding continuous versus on-demand aggregation. Since there's a size limit on comments, I can't respond fully in a single comment. I would highly suggest reading up on sparse cube issue and precalculation issue with cubes. Based on my understanding of how Esper uses continuous queries with cubes, Esper takes a pre-calculated approach. Is that an accurate interpretation of how Esper works? If it is, my blog entry provides several long posts that go into detail.
Peter Lin says:
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 11:00pm
Here's a few links to recent entries on different types of aggregation.
Here is a link to my paper on temporal logic, since one of the entries mentions temporal logic.
I look forward to hearing your response on how Espers address the sparse cube and pre-calculation issue.

Every time you open outlook 2003/ 2007 outlook keeps asking for the password repeatedly, even though you entered correctly/ you have saved it, its keeps prompting for the password!!! Please can someone Help me to find a solution for this problem?
Is this happening for all users or just one user? If just one, make sure the account is not locked or disabled.
I kept getting this once. My Mail server was running on Ubuntu, and once I stopped and Re-Started the mail server all was ok.
Do the prompts stop eventually? Try adding the credentials of the users to the Credential Manager (WinXP: Start>Run>control keymgr.dll>OK).
Also add the name of the server and any other mail server identities (mail.domain.com; autodiscover.domain.com; domain.com; etc) to the exceptions list in Internet Connections. It's under LAN Settings on the Connections Tab - you have to tick Use Proxy Server to enter in exceptions. You can untick when you're done.
Doing the above has helped get rid of prompting before. You can even add your mail server's detail to the Hosts file for good measure.
We had a similar issue on our office PCs. It turned out to be an issue with IIS and pre-Service Pack 2 PCs.

This might be a good Time to mention, that there is no set universally accepted Order for the Geomantic Figures. This writer has chosen to follow the Chart he has developed for the last article. There are multiple Methods of creating the Figures. In addition to using random dots, dice or coins, you may simply prepare cards. The only drawback to this is that Traditional Geomantic Divination Methods allow for repeating Figures. It shouldn't, however, matter. Use what feels right.
It is easy to see how the Name "Pathway" (Via) originated, as it literally resembles a Road, composed of Four single Dots. Both Upper and Lower Sections are composed of Two Single Dots, making the Figure "Fire of Fire" (or, in Nova Thought, "Flame of Flame). This would relate also to the Zodiac Sign of Ares, which is a Fire Sign, ruled by the Planet Mars. Thus, in the Tarot, Via relates to the Knight of Wands. Ares further connects Via to the Tarot Card "The Emperor".
In Nova Thought, we have postulated "Sub-Principles". Aries might thus be viewed as a Manifestation of "Flame of Flame"; being a Fire Sign, ruled by Mars. Mars is, of course, connected with the Fifth Sefirah, Geburah, This would link it with the Number Three (although the Emperor has Roman Numeral IV), the Manipura Chakra, and the Three Flame Runes, Nauthiz, Kaunaz and Tiwaz. As a Cardinal sign, there is also a relationship between Aries and the Road.
In a similar Way to the I Ching Trigram Chien, and to the Hexagram Chien, Via is composed of Single Dots, equivalent to unbroken lines, which would indicate a concentration of Active or Yang Energy.
There is an Idea in Via is of a constant flow of Energy. This Figure signifies a journey, action and forward movement. Traditionally, however, there is also a Sense of loneliness, as well as slowness or delay. Via is usually favorable for questions about travel or progress. This indicated Energy is also Parental. This Means, a direct connection with one's Source.
As the Right Witness, Via compels us to think that everything was organized and directional in the Past. Depending on the Two other Figures, the Moment may have passed.
As the Left Witness, Via informs us that, in the Future, all will be back on track, more on the Correct Path, and Centered, regardless of what has already transpired.
As the Judge, Via lets us in on a Secret, that all is already following the Divine Plan. In this situation, the best Course is probably to let things happen, and not to try to make many changes.

TUCSONJunior middle blocker Marisa DaLee matched her career high with 21 kills as No. 18 Arizona rallied to a 14-16, 15-5, 15-7, 15-13 victory over California here Friday night.
The win stretched the Cats' season-best winning streak to four and improved them to 16-8 on the year, 10-5 in Pac-10 play. The Golden Bears fell to 10-15 and 5-11.
Sophomore middle blocker Erin Sebbas, subbing for the injured Stefanie Saragosa, recorded 10 kills and 10 blocks. Sebbas, who had posted just five kills and six blocks in two years of limited play prior to Friday's match, was making her first career start.
Pac-10 Player of the Week Dana Burkholder had seven kills, 67 assists and 12 digs for the Cats, while freshman outside hitter Lisa Rutledge posted 19 kills and 13 digs.
Arizona had a season-high 11 service aces, led by freshman defensive specialist Rachel Williams' four.
Cal was led by junior outside hitter Alicia Perry's 22 kills and senior outside hitter Brook Coulter's 14 kills and 16 digs.
Arizona returns to action Saturday night when it plays host to its final Pac-10 home match of the season at 7:00 against second-ranked and five-time defending Pac-10 champion Stanford.
