What day is it? Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, what day is it? Heart Daaaay! Okay, that's not how the original commercial goes, and Valentine's Day isn't on Wednesday this year, but you get the idea.
In case you haven't gathered yet, and aren't rolling your eyes or gagging a little bit with every jewelry or chocolate commercial that comes on, this week culminates, on Friday, February 14, with Valentine's Day.
If you are happily single, have a great Friday! If you are in a relationship and were already planning on getting married but had not firmed up details or weren't really sure what you wanted to do, here's an option: get married on Valentine's Day for free and use the rest of the money you saved up for the honeymoon!
Since 1989, Reverend Joe Sullivan has been performing free group wedding ceremonies on the north side of the Bexar County Courthouse, at 100 Dolorosa St. This year is no exception. The first service will be at 12:01 a.m. (which means early Friday morning or late Thursday night, however you roll), and the other four services will be at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Rev. Sullivan signs the marriage licenses after the ceremonies, and files them with the clerk's office within a week.
Hundreds of couples take advantage of this group ceremony every year. Applicants must purchase a marriage license at least 72 hours before their ceremony for a cash-only fee of $81. The licenses can be requested in the Paul Elizondo Tower of the Bexar County Clerk's Office, at 101 W. Nueva St. Both participants must bring proof of identity and age, and must provide a Social Security number, if any.
The 72-hour waiting period does not apply to active-duty military, those with certificates showing they completed a state-approved premarital education course, or those with a judge's order waiving the 72-hour waiting period.
Rev. Sullivan keeps his ceremonies light and loving, last year advising couples to "practice forgiveness. It is a healing process," he said. "It'll give you good nights."
Some couples go the whole nine in their wedding attire, some wear matching t-shirts and shoes. But he knows "it doesn't matter where you live, what kind of clothes you wear, what car you drive. It's love all wrapped up in a beautiful package." Rev. Sullivan addressed the crowd before proceeding with the wedding vows last year, concluding with his wish that "every one of you be breathtakingly happy."

College Hockey:East Coast snowstorm cancels one game, alters travel
The snowstorm blanketing parts of the East Coast Sunday into Monday has canceled one game and is impacting other teams' travel plans.
Holy Cross canceled its exhibition game against the Russian Junior United Team that was scheduled for Monday night.
Travel delays are an annual issue around college hockey as players return to their teams after the holidays. With a blizzard hitting the east coast, though, there might be more of an impact than normal.
Some teams are changing plans amid the storm, which has dumped more than a foot of snow — close to 2 feet in some areas — and closed the major airports in New York.
Whole teams have been impacted, too.
Maine left its Orono campus at 6:30 a.m. en route to Boston for a flight to Florida that was later canceled, sports information director Laura Reed said. The Black Bears are scheduled to play in the Florida College Classic in Estero, Fla., on Wednesday and Thursday.
The team was advised to keep driving south at that point. After a six-hour bus trip, the team ended up at a rink in Exeter, N.H., where it was able to practice.
Reed said the team has been told it should be able to fly to Florida on Tuesday.
"We have had an interesting day," she said via e-mail.
Tuesday update: Maine made it to Florida via charter airplane.
Seven non-exhibition games are on the schedule for Wednesday as college hockey resumes play after the holiday break.
Two of those games are in the Toyota UConn Classic at Connecticut, which canceled its intersession classes Monday because of snowfall. But Bowling Green, which is part of the tournament field, has not had any change to its schedule.
Princeton, another team in the UConn tournament, has pushed back its practice times for Monday in hopes of having more players return to campus, said Yariv Amir, the school's director of athletic communications.
The Tigers may also delay their departure for the trip to Storrs, Conn., to Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, Amir said.

My Ancestry is an interesting story of simple country folk, ranging from squatters in the New Forest to bricklayers and brickmakers, with a couple of seafaring folk and some military men thrown in as well. As with most family trees, there are skeletons in the closet and so I have included a few scandals to brighten up the history, which is illustrated with photographs, certificates and stories passed down through the family.
I spent a varied and interesting career in international shipping and logistics, during which time I travelled a great deal. My wife Celia and I also visited many interesting countries on holiday, especially in the Far East. I retired early from corporate life at the age of 50 and had a second career as a self-employed consultant, my final assignment being Town Initiatives Manager for the market town of Alton in Hampshire, probably the most rewarding of my career. I also became a radio presenter in my spare time. I have now retired to Spain, where I live in the town of Orba, on the side of a valley filled with orange groves, in the north of the Costa Blanca.

A year from now, former Purdue QB Drew Brees will find his name high atop SI's annual Fortunate 50, a list that ranks the year's highest-earning American athletes. For this year's list, though, former Michigan QB Tom Brady and ex-Michigan CB Charles Woodson represent the Big Ten. Brady came in at No. 26, making $22,250,000, and Woodson No. 50, earning $15,812,500.
[SI.com: The 50 highest-earning American athletes]
According to SI: "Salary figures were based on current or most recently completed seasons (July 1 for the NFL, which is why Drew Brees, who just signed a $100 million deal last Friday, isn't on the list)."
Brady was No. 9 a year ago, while Woodson was not in the top 50.
And yes, that's Vernon Wells, Barry Zito, Rashard Lewis, Kevin Kolb, Josh Beckett and A.J. Burnett's faces you see included in the top 50 highest-earning athletes. Got to love America.

- Can't Miss: The nightly BBQ, jam and general crush of humanity in Djemaa El Fna

As the gateway to the African Sahara, and departure point between European Christian culture and Islam, Morocco affords travelers a unique view of a culture too often seen exclusively through the lens of conflict. Nowhere in the country is that view as stunning, or the clash of modern and ancient civilizations so overwhelming, as in the twisting alleys of the Marrakech Medina. A city of roughly one million near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, it offers an immensely rewarding introduction to one of the few truly accessible Islamic nations.
Wake up to the haunting Muslim call to prayer, lounge in the sun, then crash late when the smoke from one of the world's biggest BBQs dissipates. Party at North Africa's largest nightclub, Pacha, or wander the old Medina and learn to haggle like the pros in the souks. The city's heart, Djemaa el Fna, and a laundry list of sights like the expansive ruins of the El Badi Palace are less than a 20 minute walk from both upscale accoms and one star hostels, but finding anything quickly is nearly impossible. A dose of patience, a steam at a traditional Moroccan Hammam, or a meal of pigeon pastilla, or stewed goat cooked slow-cooked for an entire day should take the edge off.
Never mind that you can fly to Europe for less than the price of the Greyhound from Toronto to Ottawa, Marrakech has been one of the hippest addresses in North Africa for decades. It's striking distance to the northern Sahara and the Atlas Mountains, where adrenaline junkies can find some of the most challenging terrain on earth to bike, sandboard, drive a 4 x 4 or ride a camel through. Living there is the sure way to see it all, but move fast: You don't need to see the cranes hanging over new condo developments in the new town, Gueliz, and competing with the Koutoubia Mosque for prominence to see that Marrakech is changing. With European expats buying up guesthouses in the Medina and opening trendy upscale Riads like mad, the price of real estate has skyrocketed over the past five years.

TC TO DAVID HOPE; 23 March 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18220323-TC-DH-01; CL 2:71-73.
3 Moray Street, Leith Walk, / 23d March, 1822.
My Dear Sir:
I received your kind letter in due time; and should have acknowledged that mark of your attention long ago, had I not been excused in my own eyes by the expectation you held out to me of an opportunity to acknowledge it more agreeably by word of mouth, in your visit to Edinr, which I then thought was near at hand. "February" is come and gone, and you have not shown face. I continue, however, to expect you: and by way of fortifying your purpose to beat up my quarters when you arrive, I am going to foist this sheet into a packet of Mr. Irving's, which I have already loaded with letters to him and Mr. Grahame, thus making it a messenger to nearly all of the very few friends I reckon as mine within the bounds of your extensive city.
Some account of your projected marriage had reached me while in Annandale: but I received your authentic detail of the business1 with fresh interest—not only as it explained a rather curious transaction, but as it afforded me a proof of your confidence, which I am very proud of thinking I possess in such a matter. Various thoughts strike me on considering that business; and certainly the most agreeable of them is the clear persuasion that you have acted with perfect integrity and honour—nay, with even scrupulous attention to the interest of others, and an almost culpable neglect of your own, throughout the whole negotiation. As for the loss itself I am not sure that you have much cause for regret, when all is reckoned up. The young lady's conduct I can find an explanation if not an excuse for, and the evidence of testimony forces me to believe that her general demeanour displayed many graceful qualities. But she was a person of genius, if I mistake not: and much as I admire, not to say idolize, that characteristic in a mistress (or sweetheart, as we call it), I confess I should pause before recommending it to any honest man in a wife. These women of genius, sir, are the very d——l, when you take them on a wrong tack. I know very well, that I myself—if ever I marry, which seems possible at best—am to have one of them for my helpmate; and I expect nothing but that our life will be the most turbulent, incongruous thing on earth—a mixture of honey and wormwood, the sweetest and the bitterest—or, as it were, at one time the clearest sunshiny weather in nature, then whirlwinds and sleet and frost; the thunder and lightning and furious storms—all mingled together into the same season—and the sunshine always in the smallest quantity! Judge how you would have relished this: and sing with a cheerful heart, E'en let the bonny lass gang!2
Before long I trust to see you more happily mated than you could have been in this instance. There is no happiness, properly speaking, I am told, without a good wife: so I counsel you to bestir yourself while it is in season. I prophesy that you will make an excellent husband to any lady worthy of you; and I doubt not in due time to have the happiness of seeing your hospitable fireside enlivened and adorned as I and all your friends could wish. You know the old story of the scissors: a single blade of them is good for nothing but scraping a trencher or so; together they clip everything before them, from cambric up to white iron. What a lesson to bachelors and spinsters!
I designed to give you a full picture of all my doings here; but not having room or time now, I must refer you to our friends Irving and Grahame, either of whom will give you ample satisfaction on every point.
They will tell you how I am partly in the prospect of entering as tutor into an English family against August; how I am writing sometimes, often meditating to write, and not unfrequently on the verge of being sent to pot entirely, by the worst of stomachs.
I had likewise some news in store for you, but not of importance enough that you should regret the want of them. In our native Annandale there is nothing but embarrassment. The farmers all are poverty-struck to a man; so are all that depend on them, of course. A striking proof of their necessity in Hoddam parish is the fact that even Sharpe3 has at last consented to a reduction. Irving, as you know, was here preaching lately. Nothing since the days of Knox or the Erskines 4 has excited so much speculation in the theological world as his appearance here. They think him the cleverest and strangest person they have ever fallen in with. The talk has been interrupted a little by a ridiculous prediction, imputed to Professor Leslie, that horrible convulsions were to occur in the atmosphere last Friday—none of which occurred—but it is not exhausted yet. He was touching on the Catechisms: I could fancy the Closehead folks,5 if he had read that sermon to them, all rising as one man to cast him forth of the Tabernacle, or at least withdrawing en masse, with the most wintry air imaginable, and leaving him to utter his "heresies" to empty benches and bare walls. At Edinr they proceeded more moderately: some admired, several did not, most knew not what to think. I have not listened to a sermon displaying equal mind in my whole life.
But you see, my dear sir, that I must now "cease to darken counsel by words without wisdom."6 I have spent an hour very merrily in chatting with you, and shall go to sleep no worse for it. I expect to spend several hours with you still more agreeably, when you come Eastward: and failing this, I have a kind of half intention of visiting Glasgow about the beginning of May; when—woe to your oranges! Woe to the quiet of your house!—unless I relent and stay at home.— Excuse all this palabra, and believe me to be (my dear sir)
Most sincerely yours, /
Th. Carlyle.

A drawbridge over the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia will be closed much of the time for a month. The closure start at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, March 4 and run through 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 3.The Coast Guard made the announcement on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
You can read about it at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-12/html/2014-03097.htm.
The closure is needed because 189 bridge ties must be removed and the moveable rail
joints on the Norfolk Southern 5 Railroad drawbridge need to be adjusted.
The Norfolk Southern Railroad, which owns and operates the bridge, requested the schedule deviation to make the repairs.
The bridge lies at mile 1.1 of the Eastern Branch of the river. It normally remains open except when trains are crossing or for periodic maintenance.
Many recreational and other vessels go under the bridge.
The schedule of the closures:
March 4: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
March 5: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
March 6: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hey there Dave,
I'm thinking that place may have changed names along the way sometime. Either that or my memory is even worse than I thought it was. (Which is entirely possible.) JM's doesn't ring a bell like I think it should. I remember Calhoun's on the square. I also recall a little restaurant called Spanky's that had really good sandwiches. I'll have to get ahold of some old friends and find out if my memory really is that fried. ;-) Maybe they can also tell me who it is that I saw at TRAX. LOL!

It appears that Wolfe has a TV1710E in their TN store:
They call it a 1720, but it obviously is a 1710...
Only one on G-base...

Charlyhorse is what Americana Music has always strived to be. A group of outstanding musicians and modern day troubadours who weave tales of small southern towns and the roads they have traveled. Vivid stories in sound, populated by trailer-park queens, hellfire preachers, shuttered cotton mills and down-home philosophers. The music of Charlyhorse is firmly anchored in the Americana roots tradition. Influences from rock, country, bluegrass, R&B and soul gives each tune its own unique feel.

Well, I think it is time for me to step aside and let someone else have a shot at the Super Moderator position....
I have been on PC for a very long time and I have had a lot of good and bad memories here. Luckily, it has been more good memories and I still feel I am a shining example of how someone can change their ways if they really mean it. Things have been amazing with my time at PC and I don't regret it at all. Being Moderator of Video Games was so fun and always a tough job,

From the HUFF POST:
On Wednesday, GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) urged his congressional colleagues to support legislation that would repeal a clause of the National Defense Authorization Act that could allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens, simultaneously criticizing Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) for his past comments on detainees.
In a break from his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Paul took to the House floor to speak out against the NDAA's Section 1021, which allows the government to detain without trial individuals who have "substantially supported al Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States." Paul and other opponents of the section's language fear that the legislation could lead to Americans being detained without due process. …
Paul continued, "Sadly, too many of my colleagues are too willing to undermine our constitution to support such outrageous legislation. One senator even said, about American citizens being picked up under this section of the NDAA, 'When they say 'I want my lawyer,' you tell them, 'Shut up. You don't get a lawyer.'"

Happy non-occasion day
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 8:00:00 AM in David Yurman (26)
There's a David Yurman for anniversary, wedding, engagement, birthday, or just about any occasion when you want to surprise her. You have a wide array of luxury pieces to mesmerize her: cable bracelets in yellow gold or sterling silver, diamond accented necklaces, timepieces, earrings, and even eyewear. But what if there's no occasion? How will you gift her with a David Yurman? Well, instead of just giving something out of the blue, make it more meaningful with a trivial reason. For example, pretend that the occasion is the day you first saw her and got interested. Call it a "You Got Me" day or something funny. Or when the weather is bad, say, it's raining or snowing hard, call it at that—Happy Rain or Snow Day then surprise her with the David Yurman. That should perk up even her most mundane day.
David Yurman is available at Shreve & Co. in Portland, Oregon.

Volusia deputies: 7 illegal migrant workers caught in traffic stop
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 5:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 9:37 p.m.
Seven illegal migrant workers were caught Sunday in a traffic stop in Oak Hill, Volusia deputies said.
The men were found in a white Econoline van towing a homemade trailer that had an invalid license plate attached to it. The van was stopped at U.S. 1 and Golden Bay Blvd. at 11:33 a.m. Sunday, arrest reports show.
The driver of the vehicle, Augustin Gonzalez, 66, was a U.S. citizen and was cited for having an improperly displayed tag, reports said.
The deputy, William Mather, then asked the seven other men if they had identifications and determined they were in the United States illegally. Mather called the Border Patrol on the men, the report said.
Arrested were Oscar Rosas, 37, Hermino Morales-Ortiz, 23, Jose Marino, 27, Margarito Sorto, 29, Joaquin Correa-Quintero, 40, Eduardo Sanchez-Lopez, 21 and Manuel Lopez, 31.
Sanchez-Lopez had on his person counterfeit social security and green cards, the reports state.

Today in the Italian news site "The Local," there is a 'vampire' cult in northern Italy. They are said to be possibly drinking animal and human blood, which it looks like that they only drink only from each other.
This is all according to Professor Giuseppe Bisetto, who believes that in two northern Italian provinces, Veneto and Treviso, there is a rise in a cult that believe that they are undead creatures. His claims are based on testimonies by young adults, who say that they were required to drink the blood of their 'master' in order to join the cult.
Giuseppe Bisetto gave a conference in Treviso about the vampire cult and called it "a real and alarming social phenomenon." He also believes that the capital of the cult is in the city of Trieste.
Biseetto thinks that the members of the cult come from family breakdowns and social ill.

Nikon Fisheye 16mm Lens Review
Check Latest Lens Prices
I like the Nikon 16mm lens. It's a bit more expensive, but it's also the best one to get for full-frame cameras (or if you plan on going in that direction).

Nikon Fisheye Lens Review
Like my other reviews, this is a "living" review. I'll come back from time to time to update it! I haven't been using this lens as long as my Nikon 14-24mm (see my Nikon 14-24mm Lens Review), but I am feeling a bit more experienced with it now.
I rented one many years ago and I did not like it. I think it is because I used it for family photos on a strange trip, and I just, well, didn't like it! That kind of stuck with me until a trip to France where I borrowed Tom's. We were in tight architecture situations, and I was so impressed that I had to get it on my camera!
It seems to work best when there is just A LOT to capture in a scene, and traditional wide angle just can't cut it. You can see some of these examples below.
One great thing about the lens is how TINY it is. You can throw it in your bag and it hardly even counts as another lens. With my other lenses, there is always a decision process in place! But with this little fisheye, it's basically an afterthought. It's about 1/4 the size of my hulking 14-24!
Sample Fisheye Photos
Here are many sample photos. You may also want to look at the LAST TWO in the series, where I compare side-by-side with the NIkon 14-24mm.
This show from Tokyo has the lens correction adjustment to make it looks more normal. I think it looks pretty good, but you can see some CA in the corners. This bothers some people a lot — but not me. Who looks at photos at 100%? Hardly anybody… just mega-camera-nerds.
The Nikon Fisheye grabs everything and more. I was quite impressed at how the Christmas Tree does not look warped and still maintains its triangular shape. BTW, I don't love the processing I did on this one… I'll work on another one… ignore the processing, but you can just look at how much of the scene it grabs.
This is the same basic shot, just with the Nikon 14-24mm instead. See more in my Nikon 14-24mm Review here on the site.

The work on the new high school at Playa Flamenca will restart in July. Building work has been on hold since September of 2009, with no explanation as to why. When the Town Hall announced that work would resume they gave no reasons for the delay.
It is now clear that the new school will not be completed for the new term in September, but that pupils will have to wait yet another year in crowded conditions. It is hoped the new installations will be completed for the 2011-2012 school year. At present only the foundations have been lain. The Town Hall handed over a plot of some 25,000 square metres next to the Alicante –Cartagena motorway, for the school. The proximity to the motorway may have been the reason for the hold up in the work. The cost of the building work will be 7.9 million euros, and it is being built by Bruesa Construccion, who were awarded the contract in August 2008. It was supposed to have been completed within 18 months.
So in September pupils at IES Playa Flamenca will have to put up with the make-shift cabins once again, which are situated on a dry river bed which floods every time there are very heavy rains.

They say great taste is timeless - but then again, so is bad taste. Despite the time we spend looking for stuff to make you salivate with desire, occasionally we stumble upon things that elicit a very different oral reaction. Sometimes we shudder and move on, and then there are times that the object in question is just too awful to keep to ourselves, so we bring it to you as a Doubtblush.
No. Just, no. The Alberto Guardiani Court Shoes ($410) takes the idea of a gorgeous red sole and turns it on its head! Don't get us wrong, we love a hot red lipstick - we just don't want to walk about on it.
Editor's Note: Is that a REAL lipstick, too? Would it leave behind red dots & dashes everywhere you went? Talk about "painting the town red"...
it's ugly

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- After six years of planning and 18 months of construction, Jekyll Island's new convention center is opening to the public that paid for it.
Gov. Nathan Deal celebrated the milestone with Jekyll Island officials Sunday afternoon. The 128,000-square-foot convention facility is the centerpiece of $50 million in recent improvements to the island state park funded by Georgia taxpayers.
The Jekyll Island Authority says it's already lined up more than 200 convention groups through 2016, worth about $40 million in total business. Still, authority director Jones Hooks expects budgets will remain tight until two privately-built convention hotels open by 2014.
Hooks says the state investment was needed to turn around years of declining tourism and lost conventions. The island's old convention center was built in 1961.

Having embarked on their latest venture on January 10 in Reno, NV, 3 Doors Down has been bringing their humble beginnings to stage after stage across the country. While the bands had taken some time out to explore other aspects of life and regroup, they seem to have found the best way to start over: by actually starting over. The "Songs From The Basement Tour" puts fans in touch with the band's origins, marks their first acoustic tour and brings with it not only a new side of 3 Doors Down, but a new development in their an interaction. We got a chance to talk to talk with lead guitarist Chris Henderson about the tour, the fans and getting closer than ever before.
What have you guys learned about yourselves since going acoustic?
CH: We've learned as a band that we are capable of playing together, you know what I mean. When you play electric you go out and you bang and the songs sound good, but it becomes more about the movement and the overall concert versus the performance. When you play acoustic, it s more about each person's performance together than the band's performance. So, I think by playing acoustic that we have to kind of rein that in a little bit. You can't just bang on an acoustic guitar and expect it to sound good, you have to play it.
Going back to basics can be either refreshing or unnerving. How did you guys handle this reboot?
CH: It started out unnerving but after the first two or three shows it became refreshing. It's a nice easy ay to play our songs. Like I said, it's not about going out night after night and melting faces.
I hear there's some crowd participation?
CH: Yeah, we have people on stage with us.
How has that worked out for you guys?
CH: For me, letting the crowd onstage you basically invite them into your show. It's almost like they're in the basement with us, because they're sitting on couches right there with us, and they're getting the same show I'm getting even though I'm performing in it. It's a really cool experience for I think for them, and definitely for us, because they're sitting up there with us and not separated- like they're the crowd and we're the band. They're up there with us on the stage and they're just as much part of the show as we are, sometimes more so if you get someone that's really into the show. Sometimes the crowd will really feed off that.
How did you guys prep for this tour?
CH: We're not a real big prep band. I think we do a few days of rehearsal, we'll knock a few songs down and we'll play and we'll go out and we'll do it. Our prep will happen at the first show. That the way we've always done it. We've never choreographed moves, or speeches and all that stuff. It keeps it fresh keeps it new and keeps it fun.
Finally, what is one song from the set list that you personally connect with?
CH: "Away From The Sun" would be the song that I really feel a strong connection with because of when we wrote it,the way it was written, the way it was recorded, and the way it ends up being played night after night. It's one of those songs, people love "Kryptonite" and they love "Here Without You," but they really connect with that song. So, that would be the song I would say and it's my favorite song to play, and I love the lyrics. I can not only play it, but I can also listen to it.
There are still several dates left on the tour, which is set to run through September 26. Also, in November the guys are planning their annual event for The Better Life Foundation. You can find more "Songs From The Basement" dates on the band's Facebook page and check out more about The Better Life Foundation on its website. Don't miss this opportunity to get to know 3 Doors Down all over again!

2013 Funny Car champ John Force and 2012 Top Fuel champ Antron Brown paced the second and final day of testing at the PRO Winter Warm-up at Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida. The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series opens its season February 6th through 9th with the Circle K NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in California.
Force bested his Friday performance with a 4.013-second pass, giving the 16-time champ the second-best run of the weekend.
"I'd be ready to go to Pomona even if our cars didn't run as well as they did," Force said. "Robert (Hight) and I both ran 4.01 and that's great but you have to remember that (Del) Worsham also ran a 4.01 and yesterday (Ron) Capps ran a 4.00 so all that mean's is we're in the game."
Brown led Saturday's Top Fuel session with a 3.737-second run.
"I'm ecstatic that we ran this well especially since this is a whole new combination for us," Brown said in reference to a new clutch in his Matco Tools dragster. "We're running the six disc clutch for the first time and it looks really promising. We tested it last year but we didn't run it in competition. Now, we made the decision to use it in Pomona. It's a good combination and it's really smooth. The car seems really stable and that's a big deal for us."
Saturday's top performances:
Top Fuel –
1. Antron Brown, 3.737, 325.87
2. Tony Schumacher, 3.765, 327.27
3. Shawn Langdon, 3.773, 325.22
4. Spencer Massey, 3.794, 321.04
5. Richie Crampton, 3.808, 323.97
Funny Car –
1. John Force, 4.013, 318.84
2. Del Worsham, 4.014, 318.17
3. Robert Hight, 4.019, 316.97
4. Matt Hagan, 4.041, 321.81
5. Courtney Force, 4.077, 315.49

Background Reception Music
A live music act, such as a jazz band, string quartet or harpist, is often hired for the pre-meal drinks reception. A live accompaniment sets the tone for the day and creates a convivial atmosphere.
The set up should be organised carefully so that the music is being played as the first guests arrive at the reception.
The act should be briefed about when and where they are to play, and whether they should carry on during the meal.
Hiring an extra live act to perform before the meal over and above a band or disco for later on, can be costly. Remember that when the drink is flowing and the canapés circulating, many people will not miss background music if the budget does not stretch to this.

Where is the End2End functionality of Mobility Pack?
By lukas on Oct 25, 2007
I do think that it is step in the right direction. You get right tool for right thing. The Mobility Pack lost the End2End functionality because of this change. To be honest the functionality isn't lost but you have to do some steps to get it back. It isn't part of the Mobility distro anymore as result of issue 113199. When you download the All distribution then you get all functionality (including End to End), of course.
Problem Description
There is End to End functionality in Mobility Pack. The End2End provides wizards for generation of Java ME Web Service (JSR 172) Client and a Mobile Client to Web Application wizard(see more details). Both of these wizards require the Web project or Web Services functionality BUT these are not part of the Java ME distro.
Problem Solution
- Download the Java ME distribution - it contains the Mobility Pack + Wireless Toolkit emulator
- Install it
- Go to Tools > Plugins. Install Mobility End to End from Available Plugins
- The End to End functionality is back in IDE

My WordPress site is displaying a blank page
We've had a lot of our customers and WordPress users in general have an issue where their site is showing a blank page. This blank page is typically caused by a PHP error. If you have your php.ini file set to hide php errors, you'll get a blank page displayed.
To find your error messages you have two options:
- Enable display_errors in your php.ini file
- Review your error_log file(s)
Updating your php.ini file to show error messages
To diagnose PHP errors in WordPress, we will place a line of bad code in the site to show what happens when WordPress encounters and error. The image to the right shows my fully functional WordPress website.
We will add code to the site to intentionally break the WordPress site for testing purposes. See image to the right where it says "I am forgetting my closing quote".
Now that we've added the code to intentionally break the website, you will see the WordPress website displays a blank page.
Note! We don't see the PHP error message because we have set the directive in the php.ini file to hide error message.
Enabling error_reporting in the php.ini
- To fix this, we'll simply need to update it so it shows error message. Edit your php.ini in your public_html folder. To learn how to edit your php.ini page, see our tutorial on "How to update your local php settings".
Find the error_reporting section in your php.ini like the image to the right.
- Change the display_errors from Off to On.
Save the changes.
Now, since we have adjusted the display_errors in the php.ini file, as you can see our site now displays the exact error message causing the issue and we can start to troubleshoot it! See snapshot to the right.
How to view your error_log to find error messages
One way to find error messages is to view the error_log file in file manager. All PHP error messages are logged to this file. You can use FTP or the File Manager in cPanel to view this file and any of the error messages logged.
- Login into your cPanel and go to the public_html in your File Manager and click go.
- Find the error_log file.
Right click the file and select view.
Now you can see the list of errors that your website is causing. In this case, the syntax error shows because we broke a line of code intentionally.
Being able to view the actual error message causing your blank screen is important when trying to resolve this issue. You can either attempt to debug the issue yourself or pass it on to your designer.

Urner, M; Herrmann, I K; Booy, C; Roth-Z'Graggen, B; Maggiorini, M; Beck-Schimmer, B (2012). Effect of hypoxia and dexamethasone on inflammation and ion transporter function in pulmonary cells. Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 169(2):119-128.
View at publisher
Dexamethasone has been found to reduce the incidence of high-altitude pulmonary oedema. Mechanisms explaining this effect still remain unclear. We assessed the effect of dexamethasone using established cell lines, including rat alveolar epithelial cells (AEC), pulmonary artery endothelial cells (RPAEC) and alveolar macrophages (MAC), in an environment of low oxygen, simulating a condition of alveolar hypoxia as found at high altitude. Inflammatory mediators and ion transporter expression were quantified. Based on earlier results, we hypothesized that hypoxic conditions trigger inflammation. AEC, RPAEC and MAC, pre-incubated for 1 h with or without dexamethasone (10(-7) mol/l), were subsequently exposed to mild hypoxia (5% O(2), or normoxia as control) for 24 h. mRNA and protein levels of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-6 were analysed. mRNA expression and functional activity of the apical epithelial sodium channel and basolateral Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase were determined using radioactive marker ions. In all three types of pulmonary cells hypoxic conditions led to an attenuated secretion of inflammatory mediators, which was even more pronounced in dexamethasone pretreated samples. Function of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase was not significantly influenced by hypoxia or dexamethasone, while activity of epithelial sodium channels was decreased under hypoxic conditions. When pre-incubated with dexamethasone, however, transporter activity was partially maintained. These findings illustrate that long-term hypoxia does not trigger an inflammatory response. The ion transport across apical epithelial sodium channels under hypoxic conditions is ameliorated in cells treated with dexamethasone.

It was a small difference overall, Chakravorty said. And for children who were normal weight, there was no major effect.
"It's not making normal-weight children obese," Chakravorty noted.
But there was a clearer impact on kids who were overweight before surgery. Of those children, 52 percent had become officially obese seven months after surgery, compared with 21 percent of overweight children in the watchful-waiting group, the study found.
There are a few possible explanations for the post-surgery weight gain, according to Katz's team. Calorie-burning may dip when children are no longer laboring to breathe during sleep. And some kids may burn fewer calories during the day because they become less active after their sleep apnea improves. (Paradoxically, poor sleep often causes children to be "hyperactive," rather than drowsy, Katz explained.)
Sleep apnea itself also causes metabolic changes, Katz said. Growth hormone is released at night, and the sleep disorder can interfere with that. So the body may adapt metabolism in an effort to maintain a child's growth.
"When the sleep apnea is relieved, they're set up for rapid weight gain," Katz said.
It was once common for children with sleep apnea to be underweight and have "failure to thrive," Chakravorty noted. For those kids, rapid weight gain after tonsillectomy can be a good thing.
But these days, with childhood obesity on the rise, many kids with sleep apnea are already overweight or obese. If they rapidly put on pounds, Katz said, their sleep apnea might return in six months to a year.
"After surgery, parents are often very satisfied," Katz noted. "Their kids are sleeping better, and they may be better behaved and doing better in school. But there's this insidious issue of weight gain."
Chakravorty agreed that diet and exercise are key for children with sleep apnea -- but she said that's true regardless of the treatment approach. And, for heavy kids, weight loss alone might clear up the sleep apnea.
But if children ultimately do need surgery, parents shouldn't skip it due to worries about weight gain, according to Katz. He noted that if improved sleep apnea symptoms explain the post-surgery pounds, then other treatments -- including medication or continuous positive airway pressure devices -- could also spur excess weight gain.
"I think there are implications beyond surgical treatment," Katz said.

Jockey Andrew Lynch hopeful for quick comeback after Fairyhouse fall
Updated: Monday, 07 Apr 2014 12:08 | Comments
Jockey Andrew Lynch is optimistic the shoulder injury he sustained at Fairyhouse on Sunday is nothing too severe.
Lynch fell from Sizing Machine at the last fence of a two-mile-one-furlong novice handicap chase and plans to fully assess the damage later in the week.
He said: "I'm a bit tender and sore, so I'll just see how things are in a day or two.
"Hopefully it won't be anything too serious, you'd like to think not anyway."

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Fleming, Pamela
Fleming, Pamela, trumpet, flugelhorn, composer; b. New York City, 10 October 1957. At age 3 her family, (Robert and Blossom Fleming , and sister Regina) moved to New City, New York (Rockland County), where she grew up and graduated from Clarkstown Highschool. She went on to graduate with a BM in Music Performance from the Eastman School of Music in 1979. There she studied with Sydney Mear and Allan Dean. (Later she studied with Jimmy Maxwell in New York City.)
After graduating from the Eastman School of Music, Pamela moved back to New York City in 1980, and soon formed Third Wind with fellow Eastman musician, Paula M. Kimper, performing their original horn influenced pop songs. Shortly after, she became part of a minimalist / eclectic synth ensemble called Anomy performing at venues such as New York City's Mudd Club and The Kitchen. This music highlighted Pam on electric trumpet, synthesizer and spoken word.
In 1985 she merged with saxophonist, Jenny Hill and trombonist Nilda Richards as the horn section for Steppin Razor, an all-female reggae band, that opened for major Reggae acts like UB40, Yellow Man, and Burning Spear. Several months later they were asked to play on Burning Spear's upcoming European tour, which took Pamela on quite an unexpected career path. That initial Spear tour turned into over 2 years of incessant globe-trotting --- Europe, Africa, Scandinavia, Columbia, Grenada, Jamaica, Canada and the United States - and three Grammy nominated albums.
This horn trio now known as "Burning Brass" went on to form and front their own World Beat Afro Funk group. In 1991 they toured the US and Japan with Reggae Sunsplash, backing Maxi Priest, Dennis Brown, Shinehead, Carlene Davis and Andrew Tosh. During this tour the Burning Brass was endorsed by the L.A.Sax Company, which specializes in custom colored horns.
The African Tours in 1986-1987 took the band to Nigeria, Liberia, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Zaire. Working side by side with Fela and King Sunny Ade, and jamming with the local African musicians, drew Pam into a new world of sounds, rhythms and unusual instruments. "Ba-Bo-De" on Pam's recording 'Fearless Dreamer' is dedicated to Fela's memory. In 1991 she formed her own original group, Fearless Dreamer, a contemporary world jazz ensemble. she's been writing and performing with this group ever since.
Pamela Fleming toured as soloist with Natalie Merchant at the 1998 Lilith Fair. She nightly sat in with Sarah McLachlan, The Indigo Girls, Queen Latifah, N'Dea Davenport, and Victoria Williams. Pamela has also played with Bonnie Raitt (VH1 Storytellers), "Little" Jimmy Scott (Sessions at 54th St. on PBS),Soca Star - Arrow (wrote "Hot Hot Hot"), Buster Poindexter aka David Johansen (made "Hot Hot Hot" more famous), Bruce Springsteen, Robert Palmer, Cab Calloway, Metropolitan Klezmer, Diva - No Man's Band, The Mel Lewis Big Band, Patrick Moraz (Keys with Yes, Moody Blues), Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers, and others.

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space and $U \subseteq X$, $U \neq X$, its open subset. Define a function $\rho\colon U \times U \rightarrow [0, \infty)$ as: $$\rho(x,y):=d(x,y)+\left|\frac{1}{d(x,X\setminus U)} - \frac{1}{d(y,X\setminus U)}\right|,$$ where $d(x,X\setminus U)$ is the usual distance between point $x$ and subset $X\setminus U$:
i) Show that function $\rho$ satisfies the axioms of a metric.
ii) Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence in $U$ and $w \in U$. Show that the sequence $(x_n)$ converges to $w$ in metric $d$ if and only if it converges to $w$ in metric $\rho$. Thus, the two metrics $d$ and $\rho$ give rise to the same topology on $U$.
iii) Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence in $U$, which is Cauchy with respect to metric $\rho$. Show that $(x_n)$ is also Cauchy with respect to metric $d$, and thus it converges to some point $y \in X$. Show that $y \in U$, since otherwise the sequence $(x_n)$ would be unbounded with respect to metric $\rho$. Conclude that $(U,\rho)$ is a complete metric space.
I need help for i), ii) and iii). I don't know how to solve them.

District 74 State Representative
The 2013 legislative session adjourned Friday, signaling the end of session. Back in November, when I was first elected to serve as the state representative for our district, I was biting at the bit to get started.
I charged into the Statehouse and quickly realized I had a lot to learn in order to best serve our community, but I would like to think I was a fast study. Looking back over the last four months, it has truly been a humbling learning experience.
Session is coming to an end and the last two weeks can be the busiest. Many times, I catch myself thinking that session does not always resemble what I learned in school, so I wanted to fill you in on what the last two weeks of session look like.

"Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody
The old gray goose is dead."
The kids in third-grade music class at Clay-Huff Elementary knew I was different when I cried over the folksy song about Rhody's dead gray goose. Everyone else gathered around the piano and sang their hearts out. I was looking out at the window, looking for the goose's orphaned babies and crying gander spouse.

Editor Vince Luecke's question, in his column in today's paper (April 8), is why not call undocumented workers "illegal aliens."
He suggests that journalists, following the new Associated Press guidelines, are being drawn into taking partisan positions rather than just calling a spade a spade, as it were.
Hoosier students are the future of our state. The next generation of leaders is in classrooms throughout the state, learning the skills necessary to keep Indiana moving forward. For each student to reach their potential, education equality is the first step.

I've got a son in college and a daughter about to be. In the past four years, we've done a dozen college visits at nine different schools. It's been a research effort lasting years; perhaps I should report some results. First a disclaimer: I work for Purdue. I'll try to stay objective.
So here are a few of our experiences – research observations, I suppose. Start with the best, with names attached.
As a community newspaper that focuses on local happenings, the News does not often publish Associated Press stories, but like most publications, we have long followed the AP Stylebook.

I read the Our View editorial on the Iraq war and how it didn't reflect our values. What disturbs me so much is the use of lies, misinformation and distortion to make our country look bad despite our efforts to do the right thing. I should put my point of view first so people know what perspective I take. I think we should bring our troops home and make our allies develop their militaries so they are capable of defending themselves. Now to look at the falsehoods presented in the editorial.

The majority of states, including Indiana, provide a marriage license only to a man and woman, while nine states also allow same-sex couples to receive licenses to marry.
Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, in 1996 that defines marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman for purposes of federal benefits. Under DOMA, states with the traditional definition of marriage need not recognize same-sex marriages from other states.
March is Agricultural Appreciation Month in Indiana, celebrating the prominent role that agriculture plays in our state. The cornerstone of Indiana's economy and spirit resides in our great agricultural community.
According to the National Agriculture Statistics Service, there are 62,000 farms in Indiana with more than 14 million acres of farm land. The Hoosier state brings in around $26 billion every year to the state's economy.
