Sushi Rice
Sushi Rice Recipe
If you are making your own sushi vinegar, you can tweak the vinegar mixture to complement the type of sushi you are making. For example, the stronger the filling/topping served, the more salty and less sweet the vinegar mixture. You can experiment with different proportions of vinegar, salt and sugar to come up with your own unique concoction.
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
- 1 cup Japanese short-grain rice
- water to cook rice (ratio of 1 cup rice: 1 1/4 cups of water)
- a piece of konbu (kelp) roughly 5cm by 8 cm optional
- 2 tbsp sake optional
Sushi Vinegar (A)
(skip this if you are using ready-made seasoned sushi rice vinegar)
- 2 tbsp Japanese rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp caster or super fine sugar to taste; skip this if you are using bottled seasoned rice vinegar
- pinch of salt skip this if you are using bottled seasoned rice vinegar
Note: You can tweak the vinegar mixture to complement the type of sushi you are making. For example, the stronger the filling/topping served, the more salty and less sweet the vinegar mixture. You can experiment with different proportions of vinegar, salt and sugar to come up with your own unique concoction.
- Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice in a colander for roughly 30 minutes.
- Add water, kelp and sake. Cook the rice using a rice cooker or simmer over the stove top.
- While waiting for the rice to cook, prepare vinegar mixture by mixing (A) in a small, non-aluminum saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. You may also use a microwave oven and microwave at LOW for about a minute. The idea is to warm the vinegar just enough to dissolve the sugar, not to boil the mixture. Skip this step if using ready-made sushi vinegar.
- When the rice is cooked, discard the piece of kelp. Transfer the cooked rice (while it is still hot) to a hangiri or wide bowl. Pour prepared vinegar mixture over the rice.
- Stir the rice (gentle slicing action) using a rice paddle with one hand, while fanning the rice with a paper fan on the other hand.
- Cover the bowl of rice with a damp slotted cloth to keep the rice fresh and moist. Use the rice as soon as possible, preferably within a few hours. If you refrigerate the rice, it will turn hard and dry. Your sushi rice is now ready to be used for making all kinds of Japanese sushi.

Hi I have never attempted making sushi and would like to give a try tonight. By the way how do I defrost the fish roe (Tobiko) and to use it for my sushi please. Thanks
Hi Ag, good luck and hope your sushi rice is a success. I usually buy frozen fish roe too; to defrost, I transfer the fish roe from the freezer to the chiller just before bed time and I find that the fish roe will be thawed by the next day and still stay chilled.
I noticed that you said if the rice is refrigerated it will turn hard and dry…Is there any way to save some of the rice or do I have to use it all immediately?
Hi, I do not know of a good way of keeping the rice refrigerated without compromising on the quality. I usually cook enough to last one day, and cover the leftovers with a damp dim sum cloth to be used throughout the day.
Thank you! I love sushi but no way for me to get it right, I hope this time I get it
Hi there, what is the brand of your rice cooker? I like the sushi rice marker there… :) And I am going through your recipes here, hopefully one day i can start making all these for my daughter :)
Hi, I am using a Zojirushi Rice Cooker (model number NS-ZAQ10). But you can use any rice cooker :)

'The Closer,' Season 7, Episode 10, 'Fresh Pursuit': TV Recap (Summer Finale)
"The Closer" summer finale opens in a courtroom where Brenda's lawyer and the Baylors' lawyer argue merits of the case. When Brenda gets a message that a deputy sheriff was shot the hearing is cut short and she runs off to the crime scene.
At the scene she finds out that two undercover officers were following a stolen car and the car thieves shot at them, killing one, Brian. One of the thieves was arrested, Kyle, and the other took off in another stolen car.
The dead cop's partner goes over the story with Major Case and then Brenda goes back to the squad room to interview the thief they did catch.
She tells him that if she gives up the shooter she can help him out of this mess. Just as Kyle starts to get teary, Tao pulls Brenda out of the interview to give her some info on the fingerprints from the car. The prints of three ex-cons were found, one set is Kyle's, the other must be the shooter, but who is the third?
As Brenda walks back to the interview room Kyle fishes a gun out of his pants and prepares to shoot Brenda. Luckily, Buzz saw him get the gun out on the hidden camera and prevents Brenda from going into the room just in time. Cops swarm the hall outside of the interview room as Brenda barks orders for him to drop the gun. Then Kyle shoots himself.
The "in custody death" is Brenda's responsibility she says because it was her job to be sure he was searched properly, even though Brian's partner was charged with searching Kyle. Then Brenda sends Tao out to check for prints for the second stolen car, which was just recovered, to see which ones match the ones found in the first car so they can ID the shooter.
Raydor of course shows up, watches the video of the suicide and interviews Brenda. She seems shaken and concerned for Brenda, pointing out that she almost died (I'm thinking Brenda almost dies a lot). Raydor gives Brenda 72 hours to find the killer, even though she could pull Brenda off the case after the suicide.
Tao checks out the second stolen car and finds that the shooter is named David Cobb. Gabe takes his picture around the neighborhood and Provenza and Sanchez go the guy's last known address.
Gabe stops in am Argentinean restaurant and the host tells him that another cop was by earlier asking about the guy in the photo. So it seems Brian's partner has gone rouge.
When Provenza and Sanchez bust into the suspects house, the rogue cop is standing over the Cobb's dead body. He tells Provenza that it isn't what it seems.
More stress for Brenda as her lawyer arrives to complain that she didn't call her about the in-custody death as it could pertain to the Baylor case.
Then Fritz shows up and Brenda asks him about a special problems unit that the partner had mentioned to her that morning at the crime scene. Fritz explains what the FBI and the LAPD have dug up on a car-thieving ring while cooperating on the special unit. Also, it seems Brian and rogue partner both applied to the unit more than once, but were turned down.
When they interrogate the partner he says that he and Brian were hunting for a way to make a big bust to get into the unit. The two had staked out a parking lot they found was full of stolen vehicles. When one of the cars was picked up the two followed it and then were shot at.
He also said when he got to the suspect's house Cobb was already dead. Brenda yells at him that when people throw away the rulebook that's when people die (irony!).
Major Case decides to stake out the garage to see if they can catch any of the other car thief/murderers. Fritz is there in the stakeout van for some reason and reminds Brenda that she can't miss her hearing.
A minute later a couple of guys get into an expensive car that comes back stolen, so Tao and Sanchez, and Fritz in another car, follow it to a port.
Somehow the cars drive up without the car thieves hearing them and are taken by surprise. Noisy port I guess.
The cars are destined for Argentina, which sparks Brenda's curiosity. Brenda asks Buzz to do an Internet search for "Recoleta," the restaurant that Gabe was in earlier in the day, which turns out to be a neighborhood in Buenos Aries.
As the guys in the van get on their bullet-proof vests she asks Fritz to give the newly rounded up car thieves their phone calls hoping that they alert "the big fish."
Then Gabe shows up Recoleta. The host that he spoke with earlier almost immediately gets a phone call on his cell phone and then another on the land line. Gabe asks if he can ask him a few questions. The host says he has to put some things in his office and he will be right back. In his office the guy gets a gun and a bag full of cash, and sneaks out the back door.
Of course, Brenda is in the back lot with a gun and arrests him. Barefoot.
Back in the courtroom, the judge dismisses the case on a lack of evidence. Hugs, tears and Champagne in plastic cups all around.
Pope comes in to crash the party and tells her she has to talk to the Baylors' lawyer, without losing her temper. The lawyer tells Brenda that he filed a new case on the federal level. The suit will not focus entirely on Tyrell Baylor, but will also include a string of other dead people related to her cases.
Brenda is literally shaken as the two discuss the case. The lawyer says he is going to put an end to her, "and all her works" and leaves Brenda alone in the room.

The latest Billboard chart listings for the week ending March 8, which were made public Feb. 27, still show a strong Beatles presence despite the fact the boom of the Feb. 9 anniversary appears to have passed.
The strongest showing was in the update of the Billboard Catalog Albums chart. Even though the albums all dropped in the listings, Beatles albums still had a strong 16 entries out of 200 entries in the full list, a spokesman for Capitol Records/Universal Music Group confirmed to Beatles Examiner.
The Beatles "1" is now at #2 in the March 8 list, down from the top spot as #1 last week. "Abbey Road," which was #10 last week, is now #12.
In order, the rest of the Beatles entries on the new week's Catalog Album chart reads like this: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" at #20 (last week #14), "The Beatles (White Album)" at #26 (last week #17), "Rubber Soul" at #35, "1962 - 1966" at #51 (last week #28), "1967 – 1970" at #58 (last week #21), "Revolver" at #66 (last week #29), "A Hard Day's Night" at #77 (last week #26), "Love" at #86 (last week #6), "Hey Jude" at #91 (last week #43), "Meet the Beatles!" at #121 (last week #35), "Help!" at #132, "Magical Mystery Tour" at #151, "Yesterday & Today" at #175 and "Let It Be" at #200.

Dec. 18, 2012
Editor's Note: The following first appeared in the University of Iowa's Hawk Talk Daily, an e-newsletter that offers a daily look at the Iowa Hawkeyes, delivered free each morning to thousands of fans of the Hawkeyes worldwide.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Thirty-four seconds remained in Sunday's Iowa-Drake women's basketball game when Hawkeye senior Trisha Nesbitt sank two free throws to conclude the scoring.
The points left Nesbitt with a career-high 12 in one game, but that was suppressed behind the fact that Iowa's 82-65 victory in the Knapp Center in Des Moines gave the Hawkeyes a mythical state championship for a second time in Nesbitt's career.
Nesbitt, senior Jaime Printy, and freshman Claire Till are native Iowans. Nesbitt is from Ames, Printy from Marion, and Till from Dubuque. Winning a "state championship" assures bragging rights for those three in general, and it is magnified when it is done during your final season of eligibility.
"That is a goal we set at the beginning of the year, so to be able to come out -- especially in my senior year -- to finish being state champions is really cool," Nesbitt said.
Nesbitt might have established another career high Sunday. With her hometown of Ames a mere 30 miles from Des Moines, Nesbitt somehow managed to finagle 18 tickets for family and friends.
"Being so close to home, there are a lot of people around me who support and know me, and watched me play in high school," Nesbitt said. "It was fun to have so many people come out and support, and for us to have such a great game."
"I don't expect to play a lot unless there is foul trouble or they need a lineup change. I went in when they called on me, and the ball happened to go my way. As a team, we had a bunch of people step up who aren't usually the ones to step up."
Trisha Nesbitt
UI senior guard
"I don't expect to play a lot unless there is foul trouble or they need a lineup change," Nesbitt said. "I went in when they called on me, and the ball happened to go my way. As a team, we had a bunch of people step up who aren't usually the ones to step up."
The offensive effort snapped a three-game scoreless skid for Nesbitt, who entered the contest averaging 9.3 minutes and 1.6 points in 10 games.
Nesbitt is a team captain along with Johnson and Printy. The three came to the UI together in the fall of 2009; Printy has scored 1,542 points in 99 games and Johnson has scored 1,291 points in 107 games. Nesbitt's stick-to-it-ness makes Sunday's performance that much more memorable. She has one career start in 76 games.
"Everybody wants to play, but I have learned that I can lead in so many different ways on this team and there has to be a role," Nesbitt said. "Every person has a different role, and if we don't buy into them we're not going to be as successful of a team. I try to buy into what they want from me, execute that and be the best leader I can be."
Nesbitt's unselfishness is an example for all young Division I players -- so used to being stars in high school -- that patience is a virtue. And being a team player is an even greater asset.
"It's nice to have my teammates behind me, and to see their excitement when I make a basket is really, really special," Nesbitt said. "If you put work in every day and you do what you need to do for the team, sometimes things will fall your way."
That sometime was Sunday for Nesbitt, who also tied career highs with four made free throws and two made 3-point field goals.
"It gives me confidence knowing the coach (Lisa Bluder) trusts me," Nesbitt said. "Then it is just a matter of making the most of an opportunity when I get it."

Journey to High Asia – Nepal
The students at Portland State University and the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) produce an annual the High Asia Calendar highlighting the peoples and places of the greater Himalayan region.
Nepal, 2006, like our first calendar, Journey to High Asia, 2004, joins photographs contributed by artists from all over the world with maps and text intended to answer the questions evoked by each month's photograph.
The goal of the calendars is to deepen understanding of the landscapes, lives, and issues of High Asia, and to foster appreciation and tolerance for far-away peoples and places. We want calendar users to share the exploration and discovery experienced by the PSU seniors who created this calendar, and to find the photographs to be springboards to deeper awareness, as we did.

I have a video from a security cam, and the video is not good enough and I can't see the number of a car, is there some software that could help me with that ?
In brief, it's not possible to extract more information from the video than is already there (the CSI effect - "ENHANCE!"). However, if the video is suffering from a particular kind of artefact (i.e. severe blockiness) then you might try some post-processing filters. Check out VLC in the first instance and experiment with its post-processing.
In Hollywood creating missing pixels is done in movies, but in real life once a pixel is gone it's gone forever.
Nevertheless, blurred movies can be visually sharpened, although this is mostly esthetical.
The free video editor program VirtualDub has many filters, some of which can be used to improve the quality of the video.

Here is an example of what it can do:

NObama 2012 TShirts
Since the GOP loss in 2008 many people had hoped that Obama would end up being a good president but instead he has lived up to every terrible expectation of leftist principle by expanding government and entitlement programs while dividing the country with the nasty rhetoric of class warfare.
Get Your NObama 2012 Tshirts here
Obama has used his law degree and experience to wage war against the constitution unlike any president before him. From the passage of Obamacare, to the latest mandate for free contraceptive coverage without a conscience exemption, Obama has used Chicago thug politics and payoffs since he began his first term.
He has used taxpayer money to promote a healthcare system the majority of America has been against since day one and instead of cutting the deficit in half as he promised to do when he was elected he has doubled the deficit. This president continues to espouse socialistic policies of entitlements that are paid for by taxing the rich. This ideology goes against the very principles of free market and limited government from which our country was founded.
Grab your NObama 2012 TShirts Now
Obama is a surprisingly poor leader. His lack of leadership is apparent in the highly charged partisanship seen in Washington between both parties. Instead of working with the GOP, Obama never misses and opportunity to spin his propaganda and debase the Republican party in the media which in turn makes it even harder to work with him on the compromises required for rule-making.
These NObama 2012 Tshirts were designed to express the frustration true Americans have with this president and his socialistic ideology that has expanded government to record size and put our country on a path to bankruptcy through unlimited spending. The hammer and sickle as illustrations of socialism and communism surrounding the president's logo are representations of the path this president is taking us toward.
See the NObama 2012 Tshirts here
It is time to send Obama a message that we are tired of the spin and the politics and the smooth talking. We see where his policies have taken us in three short years: less freedom, more regulation and government intervention, exploding deficits, credit downgrade, sky high unemployment, doubled the price of gas, record partisanship, class warfare, government choosing winners and losers in the economy, billions in government contracts to failed green energy companies, patronizing our enemies abroad and a disrespect for our greatest allies in the world.
The ideology of socialism is not something we can take for another 4 years. See the collection of NObama 2012 Tshirts now and send a message today!

Sylvester Stallone insisted that he did not use racial slur when he addressed several African-American photographers taking pictures of him at Beverly Hills' Caffe Roma. The actor was unintelligibly heard saying "This f**king n***er here, this f**ker", but his representative said he uttered, "f**king idiot."
According to TMZ, Stallone spent time at the cafe with friends on Thursday, November 14. As he left, a group of photographers followed him and apparently pissed off the actor. Stallone looked over his right shoulder and hurled the alleged N word. A female photographer was later heard in the video saying, "Why the racial slurs?"
A rep of Stallone initially told TMZ that the "The Expendables" star said "F**king Ass**le" and that the woman in the video was not talking directly to the actor. She only did it to pump up the value of the video. The rep later made a correction in which the words Stallone used were "f**king idiot".
The rep also released a statement to Mail Online, saying "This is just another example of an embellishment of a story to make innocuous videos and pictures more valuable. Mr. Stallone has had a very productive relationship with African American artists and co-workers his entire career."
Meanwhile, Stallone's companion Frank Pesce, who was also seen in the video, commented, "I was with Sly the whole time, and he never said the N-word," he said. "The statement was made to a large muscular man in a white T-shirt with his hat on backwards, who had been stalking him for more than an hour. Sly previously asked the paparazzi in a polite manner, 'please cut me a break'. The paparazzi ignored him and continued to harass him. In response, Sly made the statement, 'I know ...Look at this f**king idiot here'."
The audio of the footage was analyzed by Sound Engineer and Analyst of over two decades, George Usher, who confirmed that Stallone was not using racial slur.

First off, Mr. Texas, the cost for business cable Internet is not 3-4 x the cost of residential service when you consider the downside.

Loss of work. Inconvenience of having to find another place to work. Travel to that location and the time associated with it.

On the other hand, a dedicated support contact, consistent response time, a more professional relationship all matters.

The same applies to mobile phone service. We switch from consumer to business reps for Verizon and AT&T and the quality of the relationship, the correction of billing errors and the elimination of billing related matters cleared up. Instead of waiting on hold, I leave a message and the person who is our account rep "fixes" the problem the first time.

The cable guys are in a war with the telco. Neither though can touch a real T1 in quality but as they roll out fiber they may. Having fiber in one house has shown me that a well run fiber plant and paying the price for it blows away a DSL line or a regular consumer grade cable modem, if you work at home.

Quality has a price, and if you're willing to pay for it, you will see the difference.

I'm struggling a bit to understand who your intended audience is for this blog entry (and others you've made on the same topic - it's a favorite of yours, isn't it?).

Surely you realize how unpersuasive it is to urge residential customers who have poor Internet service, and probably more negative experiences with Customer Service, to pay 3-4x more just to get a little respect, and the care they were promised!

As for those wealthy people who, frankly, enjoy paying much more for the same thing; they're already paying for business class service.

You seem to be saying that poor service is our own darn fault for not paying Comcast more money for their services. You also seem to be implying that if everyone paid more for their service, that Comcast's overall customer satisfaction would improve.

Bully! It seems unlikely that paying Comcast more money will really result in better service for more than a few people who successfully publicize their experiences. The problem isn't that Comcast's resources are stretched too thin, it's that they're playing a game of providing as little as possible to those who don't matter as much!

Archaeologists discover the almost complete remains of a mammoth close to the French capital - and nickname it Helmut.
06:44, UK, Friday 09 November 2012
The remains of a woolly mammoth that lived between 200,000 and 500,000 years ago have been found near Paris.
Nicknamed Helmut, the skeleton was discovered by accident during the excavation of an ancient Roman site along the Changis-sur-Marne riverbank, 30 miles east of the French capital.
The remains - which are in a near perfect condition - include four connected vertebrae, jaw bones and a complete pelvis.
Researchers at the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research said the creature would have been in its 20s when it died.
It may be only the third such specimen of a long-haired woolly mammoth unearthed in France in the last 150 years. Such discoveries are more common in Siberia.
Archaeologists will try to establish the circumstances of the animal's death.
Current theories are that it could have drowned in the River Marne or been hunted by Neanderthal man.
It was a French scientist, Georges Cuvier, who first identified the woolly mammoth in 1796.

Microsoft and 4J Studios are currently celebrating the second anniversary of the release of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition by offering free downloads of new avatar skins within the popular title. Taking the time to remind fans to take advantage of the limited offer, lead producer of Minecraft on Xbox 360 and Xbox One Roger Carpenter went on Twitter on May 13 to reveal that the temporary free content will go away this week.
Carpenter confirmed that after this Sunday, the second Birthday Skin Pack for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft will no longer be available for download. The free DLC, celebrating the game's second year on the Xbox 360, gives fans access to new avatar skins based upon popular characters from various Microsoft franchises such as Halo, Fable, and Viva Pinata.
A similar free add-on was also temporarily offered last year for the game's first anniversary which also game gamers free avatar skins. In addition to the new free DLC that is currently being offered, the first Birthday Skin Pack for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has also been re-released for a limited time to give those who missed the add-on last year a second chance to pick up the limited content. The first Birthday Skin Pack featured new avatars based upon various monsters found within Minecraft itself.
Both free Minecraft anniversary packs will only be available to download through May 18, after which they will go away. Since the game first released on Xbox 360, a version of the game has also now been released on the Playstation 3. Further expanding the series to even more platforms, 4J Studios is also now working on editions of the popular sandbox title to release on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PS Vita later this year. Those who already own Minecraft on home consoles will be able to transfer their existing game saves to the upcoming next-gen versions.

Former UMass All-American softball standout Sara Plourde (@s_pizz10) will be playing her professional softball closer to home this season. After a year playing with the Carolina Diamonds in the National Pro Fastpitch league, the franchise is moving to the New York/New Jersey area. Plourde's contract was picked up by the NY/NJ Comets during the transition, so the UMass grad will be playing softball in the northeast once again.
Paul Angilly of the Bristol Press wrote about the move here in Tuesday's paper.
The National Pro Fastpitch softball league, the highest level of professional competition in the sport in this country, recently announced that a new team, the NY/NJ Comets, will play its home games in New Jersey and New York this season, plus a two game "outreach" series in Pennsylvania.

By far, the best search engine on the World Wide Web is Google, which is located and maintained at Stanford University. Google allows for phrase searches, for combination (boolean) searches, and for domain limitations. For example, if you wanted to find study skills sites that included online tutorials and were run by educational institutions, you would type in the following (including spaces and punctuation):
"study skills" "online tutorial" site:.eduThe Google command for domain limitation is site: followed by the domain you wish to limit results to, such as government agencies (.gov), universities (.edu), not-for-profit organizations (.org), and military sites (.mil). By typing site:.edu in the above search, you are telling the search engine to return only those sites that come from universities and educational institutions. The Google command for a phrase search is enclosing the phrase within quotes. So when you typed "study skills" (in quotes), you tell the search engine not to return sites with the word study in them, unless that word is immediately followed by the word skills. The space between the three commands takes the place of the boolean operator and, thus allowing you to combine terms.Of course, you can also click on Google's Advanced Search options, which would allow you to more graphically envision your search strategy. And as always with the web, keep in mind that site evaluation is important, as this web tutorial instructs.Now try typing the following into Google:
"purple math"This search will return a wonderful website, Purple Math, which is a one stop guide to problems with Algebra. If you wanted to find another website that might help you with math issues, let's say geometry, we suggest you try a search as follows (spaces and punctuation included):
The other excellent search engine on the web is called All The Web. However, it is not as intuitive as Google. You have to click on Advanced Search in order to get it to handle phrases correctly, or in order to limit your results by domain extension. Still, alltheweb.com allows some commands that Google does not, so if you need to do an expert search, give it a try. Where both Google and All The Web allow you to search for images, only All the Web will allow you to find video and audio files.

Luscious lube
Reviewed: May 18, 2014 by naughtynymphs69, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
This lube is practically perfect - even for those with the most sensitive skin like me. I can not praise it enough.
I love the easy-to-use packaging - it's quick, simple and convenient. It smells great but feels even better and doesn't taste too bad either.
It's silky smooth, tingles in just the right way and doesn't leave a sticky residue like some lubes.
This lube is easy to clean up after play, and definitely worth every penny.
I highly recommend this lube.
- Pros
- Smelt and felt amazing.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect for the job.

Tastes Like Ginseng
Reviewed: May 17, 2014 by Zaquiel, a Gay Single Male
The lube itself is in a nice clear squeeze tube, though looking at it in the tube reminds me of wall paper paste, not sexy at all, if you ask me. It has the consistency of natural vaginal secretions, if you want me to totally accurate, and thus it mimics them. For something that is reported to have no scent, it smells like ginseng. It tastes like sweetened ginseng too, but the experience is short lived and not wholly unpleasant.
Ginseng is reported to increase libido and sensitivity. I can't say that I noticed anything different but, given I take Korean ginseng supplements anyway, it could well be there is enough of the herb in my system for me to not notice anything from the lube.
A little goes a long way with lube. It's brilliant regardless of which hole you are playing with. It's silky it's smooth, it warms up quickly and it feels like you are gliding along.
It's labelled up as a medical lube... I wouldn't call it that personally. I would say it's just another great lube from Germany.
- Pros
- Nice silky feel.
- Cons
- The taste.
- Bottom line
- Not bad all in all.

London - The British Equestrian Federation said on Monday that Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter Zara Phillips has been nominated as part of the UK's team for the London Olympics.
The 31-year-old won the coveted spot after a string of strong performances, particularly a strong third-place finish at Bramham last weekend.
Phillips will be following in the footsteps of her parents - Princess Anne and Capt. Mark Phillips - both of whom had competed for Britain in the Olympics.
The nomination caps a long journey for Zara Phillips. She won the World Championship in 2006, and was honoured by the queen, becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Phillips was also chosen the BBC Sport Personality of the year.
She was selected to compete for the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Toytown, an exceptional horse which was injured just before the moment of glory dawned.
In the years since, Phillips suffered a dry spell, only to come charging back on a new horse last year. Just a few months ago, she was considered a long shot for the Olympic team, but has been consistent and on an upward trajectory.
Phillips competes in three-day eventing, a gruelling sport that combines the disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross country. Her horse is High Kingdom, a 16.2 hands high (5-foot-6-inch) bay gelding that in recent weeks has helped her turn in consistent performances, including last weekend's third place finish at Bramham.
Her mother, the Princess Royal, competed at the 1976 Montreal Games, while her father was a team gold medallist at Munich in 1972 and then won silver in Seoul 16 years later.

To say that Aaric Murray's first season at West Virginia has been a disappointment would be an understatement.
And in more ways than one.
The 6-foot-10, 245-pound junior was supposed to be one of the missing links for the Mountaineers and coach Bob Huggins, who loves athletic centers who can play inside and out. Murray's presence, along with that of fellow transfers Juwan Staten and Matt Humphrey, was to enable West Virginia to compete well in its first season in the Big 12.

To the Navy's Ranks, Add Webmaster
By NANCY BETH JACKSON
Published: August 16, 2001
ABOARD U.S.S. KITTY HAWK, off Japan -- In their long stretches at sea on this storied aircraft carrier, Chief Petty Officer Lance Lindley and Petty Officer Third Class Jacob Hickman rarely meet face to face.
Chief Lindley, 36, works days in the public affairs office, just a ship's ladder from the flight deck. Petty Officer Hickman, 20, works nights in the print shop under the main galley below the waterline. But together they man www.kittyhawk.navy.mil, which can be boarded by any outsider at any time without requesting the captain's permission.
In the late 1990's the Defense Department embraced the World Wide Web as a powerful public information tool, cost-effective in reaching a global audience yet requiring a delicate balance between openness and military security. And so the Kitty Hawk went online.
"The families back home are the No. 1 target audience, with general U.S. Navy fans worldwide being secondary," Chief Lindley said.
But families and fans are not the only beneficiaries: Internet use, particularly e-mail, has also changed life for many crew members during their monthslong tours at sea. "Instant communication with folks back home is a huge morale boost over letters that took weeks and often came out of order," Chief Lindley said.
I can attest to its effect on my own morale. Thanks to the work of Chief Lindley and Petty Officer Hickman, I began making virtual visits to the Kitty Hawk last fall, shortly after my son, Ensign Nicholas Sherman, joined Carrier Air Wing 5, which divides its time between the Kitty Hawk and the United States Naval Air Facility in Atsugi, Japan. He was somewhere in the Sea of Japan when he sent a note from his Kitty Hawk e-mail account: "Not sure this will get through — just wanted to say hi. All is well. Working very long days. You can reach me at this address. I can check e-mail now and then."
But the messages didn't come as often as I would have liked. Connections at sea are limited and computers and time scarce, I found out later. I began logging on to the Web site daily just to know where Nicholas was. It warmed a mother's heart to see the Kitty Hawk icon, like a hurricane indicator, advancing steadily toward South Korea.
Then, suddenly, I could no longer call up the page. That's when I first encountered Petty Officer Hickman. Finding I could link to the site from another American military Web site in Japan, I urgently e-mailed a query to the Kitty Hawk Webmaster: "Where's page?" (though what I really meant was "Where's ship?"). Petty Officer Hickman responded immediately. E-mail servers go to sea with the Kitty Hawk, but the Web page works through a server in Japan. Petty Officer Hickman had redesigned the entire Web site while at sea, working 12- hour stretches over three nights, but he had been unable to put it online. Too many other ship activities were competing for the connection to the server back in Japan, he said, but he promised that the site would be up and running again within the week.
I met Petty Officer Hickman and Chief Lindley face to face when I boarded the ship in Guam on a four-day trip for family members toward the end of nearly four months at sea. I had followed the ship's journey closely on the Web site, reassured to see the ship continue toward Thailand in April while a United States Navy surveillance plane and its crew were held in China. The site told me about daily life aboard and activities like zoo visits, baseball games and volunteer work in ports visited along the way. Once I even found a photo of my son, who was quoted in an article about the air wing.
Chief Lindley and Petty Officer Hickman figure that their site, one of more than 2,000 unrestricted military ones on the Web, is in a class by itself if only because of the distinction of their vessel. The Kitty Hawk is the Navy's oldest warship, the world's first guided-missile carrier and the only American aircraft carrier that remains continuously overseas. Based in Yokosuka, Japan, since 1998, it entered the fleet 40 years ago when John F. Kennedy was president, and more than 100,000 Americans have served aboard it. With its air wing, its crew encompasses 5,500 men and women.
Like more and more of those serving in today's Navy, Petty Officer Hickman was no stranger to the computer world when he joined up. As a 14-year-old in Page, Ariz., he posted an online guide to body piercing, and he maintained it even after he enlisted. The son of a computer expert, he worked his way through community college as an assistant computer instructor.
In the Navy, though, he is no longer the Internet cowboy, always solo. "I've learned to do Webmastering as a team, a dread necessity in the real world," Petty Officer Hickman said. In addition to the Web site, he handles the night shift on the ship's two copying machines.
Chief Lindley is the journalist of the pair, the son of a sportswriter for The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He also edits the ship's newspaper and runs its television station. He spent one semester as a computer science major back in 1982 but is self-taught when it comes to the Web. For fun — when not managing the ship's varsity baseball team — he builds computers and maintains his own Web site www.geocities.com/hagakure/) with tips on Japanese culture, like when and where to take off your shoes, and on kendo, or stylized Japanese swordplay.

Joakim Noah will miss his his second game of the season as the Bulls take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Noah sat out Monday morning's shootaround because of illness and was a game-time decision, but didn't take the floor prior to tip off to warmup. Taj Gibson will get his fifth start of the season in place of Noah.
Kirk Hinrich will also miss his fourth straight game, still recovering from a sore right hamstring. He will travel with the team on their six-game road trip beginning on Wednesday in San Antonio. He expects to play at some point on the trip.
"I'm doing better. I've made significant progress, so I'm definitely happy about that," Hinrich said. "I'm hoping to get better and not have anything linger, and hopefully be able to finish the second half out strong.
"My plan is to (play on the trip). I'm not going to take anything off the table, be cautious because it's something I've had in the past. But at the same time, just keep pushing myself so I can be ready as soon as possible."
The Bulls (22-21) will start D.J. Augustin, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Carlos Boozer and Gibson.

Haha, had to have a giggle at that - yes, he is, but there's also a range of hoof products with the same name, and I use it too, brilliant, not the cheapest stuff around, but well worth it.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Millions of uninsured people may have to wait until after Election Day to find out if and how they can get coverage through President Barack Obama's health care law.
More than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave the green light to Obama's signature legislative achievement, many governors from both parties said they haven't decided how their states will proceed on two parts under their control: an expansion of Medicaid, expected to extend coverage to roughly 15 million low-income people, and new insurance exchanges, projected to help an additional 15 million or so purchase private insurance.
In some states, such as Colorado, Oklahoma and Wyoming, governors said they're crunching the numbers to determine what's best for their residents. But in other states, including Virginia, Nebraska and Wisconsin, Republican governors said not to expect a decision before Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney square off in November.
If Romney wins, the argument goes, he'll work to throw out the health care overhaul, and the issue will be moot.
"I don't think I can look the taxpayers of Virginia in the eye and say I'm going to spend a lot of your money building exchanges that four months from now I may not need," Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-Va., said on the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting.
Although the high court upheld the requirement that individuals either have insurance or pay a fine, the justices undercut Obama's plan to get almost all Americans insured, ruling that states can opt out of the expansion of Medicaid, the government-run insurance plan. People earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level qualify for Medicaid under the health care law, except in states that reject the expansion.
The Obama administration said last week that people won't be fined for not having insurance in states that turn down the expansion, meaning Obama's hard-fought overhaul could fall far short of the 30 million or more uninsured he had hoped would get coverage.
Also left to the governors is what to do about the exchanges — Internet-based markets designed to offer one-stop shopping for insurance — that are also part of law. States are supposed to set up their own exchanges, but if they don't, the federal government will run them instead.
About a half-dozen states have announced plans to forgo the Medicaid expansion and relinquish the massive infusion of federal dollars that would come along with it. All have Republican governors, many of whom argued Medicaid is an underfunded entitlement already weighing down their cash-strapped budgets.
Others faulted the Obama administration for failing to provide the specifics that states need to make an informed decision. That sentiment was echoed in a list of 30 questions about the law that the Republican Governors Association sent Obama last week.
The law picks up the entire cost of covering more people for the first three years, and then drops to 90 percent, with states covering the remaining 10 percent. It's a great deal, proponents argue, especially compared to the current Medicaid rates, wherein Washington pays as little as half of the cost in some states.
But a handful of GOP governors attending the NGA meeting said they suspected a bait-and-switch in which states would agree to the expansion only to see Congress cut some or all of the funds, leaving governors on the hook and potentially bankrupting state budgets.
"At any whim they could just pull the money," Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer told The Associated Press. "So yeah, I'm a little gun-shy."
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who survived a recall election in June, said in an interview that governors were grumbling among themselves about the federal government's track record on special education. Congress in 1975 pledged to fund 40 percent of the cost of special education, but routinely has fallen far short of that commitment.

The experienced defender is looking forward to the match against his former team, and realises that the Stadio Olimpico outfit will be tough opponentsInter defender Cristian Chivu is eagerly anticipating this weekend's Serie A match against Roma and has warned that the Giallorossi will pose a stern test for the Giuseppe Meazza side.
The Nerazzurri currently sit fourth in the league table, holding a six-point lead over sixth-placed Roma, and Chivu is determined to bag the full three points on Sunday.
"We are going to Rome to win this game because it is essential that we bag the full three points," the Romanian defender told La Repubblica.
"They are a team in good shape, but we want to climb as high as possible.
"Roma are not easy to beat. They attack the spaces and get in behind you. They have players who always seem to find the right pass at the right time."
Inter were beaten 3-1 at home by Roma earlier this season.

TCFC Finance Co., LLC, the company behind the proposed and recently denied ski maintenance building at Canyons Resort, filed intent to appeal Summit County Manager Bob Jasper's decision to deny its relocation.
The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission had previously given a negative recommendation on TCFC's request to move the facility from its current location on Frostwood Drive to a parcel on Canyons Resort Drive, between the Grand Summit Hotel and the Hidden Creek Condominiums.
After a pair of public hearings on the relocation spot on April 10, Jasper denied TCFC's request on April 25, stating that the facility would not actually have been built on a development parcel but on Canyons Village Open Space land. He added that, as per a Canyons Specially Planned Area ordinance, ski area services such as a maintenance building are to be built "on mountain."
TCFC spokesman Todd Burnette said the company did not have a statement to issue regarding the intent to appeal, and will wait until after they speak with Jasper to do so.
At a recent status update for the Canyons Golf Course, TCFC said the course will be playable and "substantially complete" by the most recently set Sept. 30 deadline. Since the current facility on Frostwood Drive must be relocated to make room for the planned green of Hole 11, it is in the company's best interest to move that facility as soon as possible.
To conform to the Sept.
Jasper has said the county is willing to work with TCFC to find a more ideal location for the maintenance facility, although the company stated during a previous presentation that all of the alternate locations for the building are not feasible.
TCFC's appeal of Jasper's decision will be heard by the Summit County Council. County spokesperson Julie Booth said it is likely the appeal will be scheduled for next Wednesday's meeting, although an agenda has not yet been set.

You'll barely be able to refrain yourself (well maybe you will) from smirking when you're staring at the Laughing Willow Lamp ($50) at your desk. This lamp features a silver bend-it-yourself wire as a base with white plastic flowers cascading from its peak, which also act as a lamp shade. We admit it's a bit on the contemporary side, but it's definitely pretty cool that you can bend the base of your lamp without it looking like the lamp from your college dorm.

Google Now arrives on desktop computers
But only for brave beta testers
PERSONAL ASSISTANT Google Now is coming to desktop computers.
The service, which monitors your internet searches and presents information you might need before you ask for it, has previously been available only on Android devices.
The latest Canary nightly build of Chrome 34 has a flag to activate Google Now. The instructions posted on a Google blog show that you need only to point your web browser to chrome://flags/#enable-google-now and select Enabled to activate the feature.
Canary builds of Chrome are designed to be run alongside stable releases and are used for testing new features before releasing them to the masses. Therefore, expect a few glitches and bugs that still need to be ironed out.
Google Now has not caught on with the public in the same way as Apple's Siri, but has slowly gained users as it is rolled out across Google's software portfolio. Features include directions with integrated, crowdsourced traffic information from Waze, package tracking, weather, stocks, sports results and updates to websites based on your browsing history.
This represents the latest step as Google works towards parity between software systems. Previous it has introduced Voice search for desktop and card style search results, along with touchless search that can be accessed with the "OK Google" voice command.
The next stage will be to bring Google apps and other desktop functionality to Chrome for Android, which Google is expected to announce later this year.
Since this is a pre-release beta, Google has not made a formal announcement about the arrival of Google Now on the desktop PC. µ

I think that flowers in jars are just about the sweetest things. There's something super homey and good about a bouquet in a jar. While I like to have unusual vases (like tankards), simple displays of flowers are so much easier and much less pretentious. I grabbed a few different bunches of flowers (don't ask me to name them, I'm terrible at that) and made up a few quick bouquets. Easy.
Margaritas, iced coffee, sassy water, and... well anything else that you fancy. This is weird, but everyone in the office is doing a water challenge and they're drinking HUGE jars of water every day. You don't have to be that crazy, but jars do make cute glasses, especially for parties! (I'm not the biggest fan of drinking with the ridges of the lip, but add in a cute paper straw and I'm game.)
I think that Mason jars could be used in so many ways for organization. I store all of my makeup brushes and eyeliners and mascaras in the jars. It's so much easier than throwing them into cosmetic cases or just in drawers because you can easily see what you need.
Because jars are see-through (duh), they are great for collections. On my desk in Florida, I have a jar full of my old hair ribbons. Of course, I don't wear them anymore. But I love them too much to get rid of them! I rolled them up and stuffed the jar. Seashells from vacations would be cute in medium sized jars. Buttons in tiny jars would be great too!
I seriously wish I had pictures of some of the gifts I've given with Mason jars. Now, the options are endless with what you can do. When I was in high school, I would spend the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas cross-stitching lids for my friends! One year, I did pink lids with red/green monograms... and a jars of pink/red/green M&Ms. Another year, it was hot chocolate and another had ingredients for sugar cookies. So many ways to go with this!
What do you think of Mason jars? What do you use them for?
PS Have you seen this light fixture? Love.
PPS This is a cool feature on the Mason jar in the New York Times.

I have a Windows 2008 server with PHP and msys installed. I also have a simple php script that calls shell_exec and tars a few files. When I run the script on my development machine (Windows 7), it works fine. However, when I run it on the Windows 2k8 server, it times out. When I copy and paste exactly what's being run on the cmd line and run it, it executes w/out error in less than a second.
One more important detail: when I shell_exec 'dir' or 'netstat', the script runs without any problems. When I shell_exec 'ls' it hangs. When I run ls on the command line, it returns immediately.
Other details that might be useful: The Windows 2k8 server is a VPS hosted by Rackspace. I did vanilla installs of Apache, PHP, and msys, but I haven't installed anything else.
When I run whoami, I see the php script is executing as the user "nt authority\system".

What is an OTM?
An Of-the-Month (OTM) is an award used to recognize students, faculty, staff, organizations and programs. Multiple nomination categories exist, allowing nominators to recognize a wide variety of people.
The website for OTM submission can be found at the right of the page. Here are some writing tips.
- Make sure the OTM is month specific. While many student leaders are successful each month, what makes them deserving of this particular month? Focus on the month at hand showcase the amazingness that they have accomplished this month to deserve this OTM.
- Define Acronyms. Many institutions have different acronyms for a Residence Hall Association or a Hall Senate/Hall Council. Define the acronym once and in parenthesis put the acronym so you can use it later in your OTM.
- Be as detailed as possible. The more details you give in an OTM the more a person who is judging the OTM can fully understand why the person/group/program in a particular category is worthy of the OTM. The more details you give the better!
- Try to hit the word limit. The more details you put in results in more words. BUT BE CAREFUL….Don't surpass the word count or that can instantly disqualify an OTM.
- Make sure that your OTM is in the correct category. While many individuals serve in various roles, make sure that the reason you are nominating an individual is because of the work that they have done in the specific category.
- Don't leave any fields in the OTM blank. We want to be able to deliver these awards and if we don't have all the information, we won't get to deliver the awesomeness that is an OTM.
- Have fun! Writing an OTM is about recognizing someone! Don't do it because you have to, do it because you want to!

Seems like it would be a good thing to have with 2nd on the way in Nov. But it would also take up precious extra kitchen space. A close friend of mine has said that she used hers a lot in the first month and then not much after that. I can easily imagine something similar happening here, especially given the usage patterns of a couple of other kitchen gadgets we've got.
So I'd like to hear thoughts and experiences.

Possibly the most taken for granted item in most wardrobes, the t-shirt has an illustrious history that is over 100 years old. First issued by the Navy to sailors sometime during, or just after, the Spanish American war in 1898, the first printed T is thought to be the Air Corps Gunnery School t-shirt featured on the July 13, 1942 cover of LIFE magazine. Shortly after, a Miami based company, Tropix Togs, licensed the rights from the Walt Disney Company to print the first Mickey Mouse t-shirt. After the actor Marlon Brando wore a tight white t-shirt as sexy brute Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film, "A Streetcar Named Desire", the t-shirt's status as a fashion staple was assured. From the psychedelic statement of tie dyed t-shirts in the '60s to the chic version popularized by Don Johnson's character, Sonny Crockett, in the '80s TV show "Miami Vice", to any version of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" slogans of today, the t-shirt has flourished as a popular form of self expression.
The t-shirt is the ultimate tabula rasa, a blank slate primed for any statement or advertisement, and for most of its existence it has been used to promote everything from soft drinks to sports teams to political slogans and all else in between. The clothing retailer Gap has often led the charge, with their simple designs and zen like advertising, often recruiting celebrities to wear their t-shirts in popular ad campaigns that take the "celebs are just like us" riff to new levels. In 2008, Gap introduced a limited-edition t-shirt collection in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art, featuring designs by today's most influential contemporary artists. Jeff Koons, Chuck Close, Barbara Kruger and Kenny Scharf are four of the thirteen artists who contributed to the collection. Today, Uniqlo, the Japanese casual wear retailer, sells pop art t-shirts featuring the work of the iconic artists, and sometime collaborators, Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat, along with Star Wars and Hello Kitty t-shirts.
Giant global retailers with big budgets for expensive licensing deals do not corner the market on t-shirts featuring unique and original artwork. Joe D'Allesandro, the "Little Joe" of Lou Reed's famous anthem, "Walk on the Wild Side", and the crotch on the Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" album cover, as well as the star of the Warhol produced films "Flesh" and "Trash", has a line of t-shirts available on his website. The "Walk on the Holy Side" T features the artwork of Italia Ruotolo and there is a black and a white version of D'Allesandro's famous "Little Joe" tattoo available with three other original illustrations. And recently, the singer/songwriter/artist Pal Shazar relaunched her t-shirt company, A Pal Shirt, featuring original silk screen images of her art work.
Shazar was a founding member, with Andrew Chinich, of the new wave pop group Slow Children, and is married to recording artist Jules Shear. Shazar and Shear just released their second album together, Mess You Up, which is available on their website as well as Amazon.com. Shazar has released 8 solo albums during her career, but has never stepped away from her love of painting. Her artwork has graced the covers of her own as well as Shear's albums, and is featured on the cover of the Waterboys "Dream Harder" album. She has self published books, including "Pal Shazar The Illustrated Lyrics" in 2008 and, most recently, last year's "Pal Shazar's La Strada", a collection of 42 original paintings inspired by the 1954 Federico Fellini film.
Shazar's current mediums are watercolor and oil. She first launched A Pal Shirt in 2000, and Jennifer Aniston, Elizabeth Shue and Jenna Elfman have all worn one of her creations. Her t-shirt subjects are whimsical and idealized versions of humans and animals underscored by clever and poetic statements. Shazar's t-shirts are available on her website, A Pal Shirt, as well as the Woodstock, NY store, Talisman of Woodstock. Her shirts can also be found on the West Coast at the store Madison Los Angeles and a special hand stitched t-shirt, "jane eyre head" is available at the LA bookstore Skylight Books. For this article, a select group of artists, musicians and actors gathered at a studio on the Upper West Side for a fashion shoot wearing their favorite Pal shirt. The images can be viewed in the accompanying slide show.

You might feel a little voyeuristic watching MTV's "Catfish," as young adults let you in on the intimate details of their years-long online relationships and you're right by their side as they discover whether their digital partner is who they've claimed to be.
But know this: You're not alone. Since its premiere last month, "Catfish" has become the #1 show at 11 p.m. for viewers ages 12 to 34 — a feat that stars Nev Schulman and Max Joseph aren't taking lightly.
"It's super exciting," Schulman told MTV News of the success. "Max and I spent all summer on the road making this show. We knew how much these people had been affected and how amazing these stories were, and we saw the change in people's lives. It was super exciting for us to be part of that. But, of course, you never really know how an audience is going to react. So it's been really fun. It's so exciting to see people really engaging and enjoying the show and getting it."
Now that you've been on the roller-coaster ride of the first four episodes — which have involved everything from exotic dancers to an elaborate revenge plot to a digital romance that's lasted a decade — where can things possibly go from here? On tonight's (December 10) new episode, premiering at 11 p.m. ET on MTV, we meet Jarrod, who's head over heels for a girl named Abby he met on Facebook.
Nev and Max were instantly won over by the sincere, hard-working single dad, and they wondered why he hadn't won over the ladies so far.
"For us, the first reaction was, 'Why is this guy having such a hard time meeting someone? He's such a sweetheart,' " Schulman wondered. "And then, of course, as he told us more about Abby and his relationship with her, I began to understand the attraction. And for a guy who is so sweet and finds himself in everybody's friend zone, here's a girl who sees him as a sexy, attractive guy and wants to help him raise his daughter, so I understood."
But is she the girl she says she is? You can check out a 10-minute preview of Jarrod's episode below, and then tune in tonight at 11 p.m. on MTV for the full story.
"Catfish" airs every Monday at 11 p.m. ET on MTV. For more, check out MTV's Remote Control blog.

Let $ \Omega $ be a sufficiently smooth planar region in $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ with spectrum $ \Gamma $ (the set of eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on functions which vanish on the boundary $ \partial \, \Omega $, i.e. acceptable parameters in the Dirichlet problem) and associated orthonormal basis (normalized eigenfunctions) $ \{ e_i(x)\}_{i=1}^\infty $, $x \in \Omega $. Then define the function $$ \phi(s,x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \lambda_n^{-s} e_n(x) $$ for $ s \in \mathbb{C} , x \in \Omega $. This series doesn't converge for $ \mathrm{Re} (s) \le l(x) \in \mathbb{R}$, but it can be analytically continued to all of $\mathbb{C}$ minus singularities (I don't recall my source for this fact, but do remember that I read it somewhere.) So I was wondering, if we use $ \langle g , h \rangle_{\Omega} = \int_{\Omega} f(x) \overline{g(x)} d\mu(x) $ as the natural inner product, and define $ \zeta_{\Omega}(s) = \sum \lambda^{-s} $ wherever it converges and analytically continued otherwise, is the following necessarily true? $$ \langle \phi(\alpha,\cdot) , \phi(\beta,\cdot) \rangle_{\Omega} = \zeta_{\Omega}(\alpha + \beta^*).$$
EDIT: It might help to reconsider this in a more general setting. Holding $\beta$ fixed above, the inner product can be seen as a functional $B:L^2(\Omega)\to\mathbb{C}$ acting on $\phi(\alpha,x)$ with respect to $x$. Similarly, analytic continuation may be seen as an operator $A:\Omega\to\Gamma\supset\Omega$ which, for $f\in C^\infty(\Gamma)$, sends the restriction $f|_\Omega$ to $f$ - in this case acting on $\phi(\alpha,x)$ with respect to $\alpha$. The question above is therefore a special case of a more generalized query: do $A$ and $B$ commute wherever their composition makes sense? If I had more background in category theory, I might express this in a morphism-flavored way lending itself to some elementary identity or other I'm not aware of, but I don't.

Stanford, Calif. - Stanford women's lacrosse (2-0, 2-0 MPLL) will host the University of Denver Pioneers in the Cardinal's second home game of the season this Sunday, March 2nd, at 4 p.m. on Maloney Field. This will be the Pioneer's first game in 2003. The Cardinal travels to Ohio State for a game on Friday, coming off a win at home against New Hampshire last Saturday.
Denver's season opener against Davidson was canceled due to extreme weather conditions on the East Coast. The Pioneers went 6-11 overall in 2002.
Stanford captured a second win last Saturday over the Wildcats 19-9. Freshman Katie Horowitz started in the goal for the first time and stayed in for the entire 60 minutes making 7 saves. Sophomore Kelsey Twist and freshman Megan Burker led the Cardinal in goals with four each.


text: 27 February 2013 archive See all show photos GARETH PUGH took us on a dark and sinister journey at his autumn/winter 2013-14 show this afternoon. But while we have come to expect the dark and macabre from the British designer, today it manifested in a new, otherworldly way. It appeared as though Pugh was taking us to the depths of a forgotten forest on a damp winter's day – the kind of unwelcoming place where ghostlike apparitions haunt a lone wanderer. From the very first look, bare-branch prints crept up from the floor-sweeping hemlines on full skirts and stand-collar jackets before gradually disappearing on the whiter-than-white surfaces. But despite this reference to nature, these pieces weren't at one with it – they instead leant towards the supernatural. Proportion was distorted, with tall structural necklines lifting and dropped waists lengthening the body; ribbed leather was skin-tight and reptilian; and long-length gloves at times gave a limbless impression. These girls were ethereal and ghostlike, but they weren't weak – on the contrary, they took the stance of tall tree-like structures, strong and sturdy. Gradually the palette got darker - like night drawing in - until at the end, leaf-like shiny black layers (which started as accents before growing all over sweeping dresses, hats and coats), rustled as the models sashayed down the catwalk, as though the wind was picking up in that dark forest, shaking and stirring everything it touched. The styling was striking and clearly integral to evoking the unsettling mood of the show: hair was wet-look, dishevelled and entwined around the neck like an asphyxiating wisteria, while faces were white-as-a-sheet with dark hollow eyes and cold lips – faces that looked lost and alone, as though turned to stone by fright. It was a stark, often chilling offering from Pugh and, as ever, its wearability has to be called into question. But nevertheless, as far as ghost stories go, this is one that we'd recommend reading.

http://www.buydarkfallgold.net/darkfall-power-leveling.html Why did WAR get up so totally different from DAOC? These two games did -NOT- turn into alike at all, yet with this logic everyone would say they were "like" games. DAOC had clear differences such as 3 realm system vs 2 realms. DAOC had sdarkfalluestered PvE and PvP areas. DAOC had persistent battlegrounds as an alternative to instanced. DAOC had a world. Were they "like" games? If we stick to the logic why these games are alike then i am doomed to not ever visit a game try to do the DAOC model again. Same is true of darkfall, Tribes, and UO. UO fans — is Darkfall like UO? Both are Sandboxes, but true UO players will come out while stating these play differently enough them to must not be lumped in the same category. I'd hate for there not to ever be another UO because of Darkfall. The tiny details matter and may not lost in generalizations.

Oil & synthetic resin on canvas
76x76 cm
Private Collection
Ione Parkin is a painter and printmaker based in Bath, UK. She has exhibited nationally and internationally for over twenty years and her work is in many private and corporate collections. She is an elected member of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA).
"My work celebrates the beauty of the raw elements of nature - contemplations on primal energy, chemical fusion, the birth and death of star systems. I seek inspiration from varied sources - from visions of the expanding universe to satellite macro-imagery of Earth's surface. I aim to make abstract paintings which enable a synthesis to evolve from this diversity.
In the process of making these paintings I seek a fluid and restless sense of balance - between form and space, movement and stillness, substance and illusion. These paintings appear freeze-framed at a specific point in their evolution - poised between the contrasting states of resolution and quest. They are a fragment of a wider reality and I have a sense that each image could continue far beyond the confines of the canvas itself.
I aim to make paintings which inspire a sense of connection with the natural world and which engage the viewer actively in the non-verbal experience - the transformational experience - of the sustained gaze."
Ione Parkin RWA, EVOLVER Magazine, Nov/Dec 2013
