(Ivanhoe Newswire) –Four weeks of treatment with a combination of the drug pentoxifylline and the corticosteroid prednisolone did not improve survival compared with just prednisolone in 270 patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis.
Treatment of severe forms of alcoholic hepatitis is challenging due to the poor outcome. U.S. and European guidelines suggest using prednisolone or pentoxifylline, but still a large number of patients die after six months regardless of first-line therapy.
Because of the lack of difference in survival and other outcomes, "our study does not support the use of a combination of pentoxifylline and prednisolone for severe alcoholic hepatitis. Future studies with an appropriate design are needed to provide robust data for developing new strategies to improve the outcome of patients with this life-threatening disease," Philippe Mathurin, MD, of the Hopital Hurlez, Lille, France and colleagues, were quoted as saying.

George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, and John Goodman – "The Monuments Men" has great talent attached. But when production stuffs a film with such a large star-studded cast, it either sets itself up for a flop or a surprising success. (Take "Valentine's Day," a major fail, and "Anchorman: The Legend of Rob Burgundy," a comedy classic, for example.) So which of the two roads did "The Monuments Men" land on? According to the majority of critics over at Rotten Tomatoes, it's a failure with 30% rotten so far. I caught the "The Monuments Men" at a screening on Wednesday, February 5, and I'm still on the fence about it.
George Clooney stars as Frank Stokes, who, amidst World War II, teams up with six other art enthusiasts, curators, and art historians, to embark on the greatest treasure hunt in history. The assembled team goes on the mission to rescue stolen artistic masterpieces from the hands of the Nazi. Their already nearly impossible task goes haywire when they race against time to avoid the destruction of over one thousand years of culture and mankind's greatest achievements.
An extraordinary story that deserves to be seen paired with a strong A-list cast…where did it go wrong? While it's not the biggest letdown I have seen, I was a bit disappointed. I'm still calling this film entertaining because funny men Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, and John Goodman had some great comical scenes, which often distracted from the confusion of the film. They almost made this film worth-watching.
Among many things, "The Monuments Men" seriously lacked character development, often introducing the backstory of a character only to leave audiences with an unfinished background and many questions - or just killing the character off. The sometimes serious, sometimes ridiculous film, also depended heavily on the ol' tricks such as old men gags (Bill Murray and John Goodman's failed military training, who didn't see that coming?).
Scenes are quite sloppy, there's a laugh here and there, and the characters themselves (particularly Matt Damon's and Cate Blanchett's) appear confused, but judge for yourself. "The Monuments Men" is in theaters Friday, February 6. It is rated PG-13 for some images of war violence and historical smoking. Running time is a long 2 hours.

Does a least squares solution to $Ax=b$ always exist?
Sign up

If you think at the least squares problem geometrically, the answer is obviously "yes", by definition.
Let me try to explain why. For the sake of simplicity, assume the number of rows of $A$ is greater or equal than the number of its columns and it has full rang (i.e., its columns are linearly independent vectors). Without these hypotheses the answer is still "yes", but the explanation is a little bit more involved.
If you have a system of linear equations
$$ Ax = b \ , $$
you can look at it as the following equivalent problem: does the vector $b$ belong to the span of the columns of $A$? That is,
$$ Ax = b \qquad \Longleftrightarrow \qquad \exists \ x_1, \dots , x_n \quad \text{such that }\quad x_1a_1 + \dots + x_na_n = b \ . $$
Here, $a_1, \dots , a_n$ are the columns of $A$ and $x = (x_1, \dots , x_n)^t$. If the answer is "yes", then the system has a solution. Otherwise, it hasn't.
So, in this latter case, when $b\notin \mathrm{span }(a_1, \dots , a_n)$, that is, when your system hasn't a solution, you "change" your original system for another one which by definition has a solution. Namely, you change vector $b$ for the nearest vector $b' \in \mathrm{span }(a_1, \dots , a_n)$. This nearest vector $b'$ is the orthogonal projection of $b$ onto $\mathrm{span }(a_1, \dots , a_n)$. So the least squares solution to your system is, by definition, the solution of
$$ Ax = b' \ , $$
and your original system, with this change and the aforementioned hypotheses, becomes
$$ A^t A x = A^tb \ . $$
Assume there is an exact solution $\small A \cdot x_s = b $ and reformulate your problem as $\small A \cdot x = b + e $ where e is an error ( thus $\small A \cdot x = b $ is then only an approximation as required) we have then that $\small A \cdot (x_s - x) = e $
Clearly there are arbitrary/infinitely many solutions for x possible, or say it even more clear: you may fill in any values you want into x and always get some e. The least-squares idea is to find that x such that the sum of squares of components in e ( define $\small \operatorname{ssq}(e) = \sum_{k=1}^n e_k^2 $) is minimal. But if our data are all real data (what is usually assumed) then the smallest possible sum of squares of numbers is zero, so there in fact exists an effective minimum for the sum.
So the question is answered in the affirmative.
(A remaining question is, whether it is unique, but that was not in your original post.)
To see that a solution always exists, recall that the definition of a least-squares solution is one that minimizes $\|Ax-b\|_2$. To get the solution, you'd use something like the pseudoinverse on paper or some nice minimization algorithm in practice. We don't even need to refer to the rank of the matrix or anything like that to assertain the existance of a solution. Minimizing $\|Ax-b\|_2$ in $x$ amounts to minimimizing a nonnegative quadratic equation in $n$ variables (the $x_i$'s). Simple calculus alone justifies the existence of a minimum.
We just need to prove that the rank of matrix $A^TA$ equals the rank of augmented matrix $[A^TA,A^Tb]$. We prove it below:
denote the rank of matrix as rank A=k. By using the rank equality(can be found in nearly every algebra textbook.):rank $A^TA$=rank $A$=rank $A^T$. We know rank $[A^TA,A^Tb]\ge$rank A, since the former has one more column than the latter. But, on the other hand, $[A^TA,A^Tb]=A^T[A,b]$, and by using the rank inequality(can be found in some algebra textbooks): rank $AB\le$ min{rank A, rank B}. so rank $A^T[A,b]$$\le$rank $A^T$=rank A=k. Combining the two inequality, we have rank $[A^TA,A^Tb]$=k.
So the rank of matrix$[A^TA]$ is always equal to the rank of the augmented matrix$[A^TA,A^Tb]$. By the theorem of existence and uniqueness of vector equation, we know the least square problem always has at least one solution. Thus we finish our proof. Q.E.D.

$\large{\sf Example}:$ $2x = 5$ and $3x = 7$ becomes $$ {2 \choose 3}\pars{x} = {5 \choose 7} \quad\imp\quad \pars{2 \quad 3}{2 \choose 3}\pars{x} = \pars{2 \quad 3}{5 \choose 7} \quad\imp\quad \pars{13}\pars{x} = \pars{31} $$
$$ x = {31 \over 13} $$ which is the minimum of the function $\pars{2x - 5}^{2} + \pars{3x - 7}^{2}$.
I do not think it is true because solving finding a least squares solution amounts to solving A^{T}Ax=A^{T}b, and that A^{T}A might not always be invertible. If A^{T}A is not invertible it follows, from the invertible matrix theorem, that the transformation it represents is neither onto nor one-to-one .

HARTFORD, Conn. — French Cleaners, a member of the Hartford business community for more than a century, recently offered its customers a chance to win a free year of dry cleaning. Customers were invited to enter the month-long contest by providing a current e-mail address, and the promotion garnered more than 2,200 entries.
A longtime French Cleaners customer was randomly chosen to draw the winning entries on April 10. Vanessa Barneschi of West Hartford won the grand prize, a year's worth of dry cleaning valued at $100 a month. Runner-up was Jennifer Chase, also of West Hartford, who will receive a year's worth of dry cleaning valued at $50 a month.
"It was a really fun contest and brought a lot of positive feedback from our clients," says Phil Cote, French Cleaners president.

The Ming Mine is one of five deposits in the district. On November 28, 2011 the Company began gold production at the Ming Mine. After declaring commercial production of copper concentrate at the start of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 at the Ming Mine, the potential of the other deposits in the district are being examined and explored.
The Ming Mine consists of several zones (1805 to 1807, North and South zone and the Lower Footwall). The 1806 zone is a high-grade gold zone that was mined in the second half of fiscal 2012. The 1807 zone is copper rich that will provide the first two years of production at the mine until 2014.
The 1806 zone is a high-grade gold zone grading over 4 g/t that lies within 50 metres to the already developed ramp and is easily accessible with little development cost. Early production from the 1806 gold zone allowed the company to generate its first revenues while finalizing the construction of its copper floatation circuit. The five month period from November 2011 to May 2012 produced 14,918 ounces of gold, grossing in excess of $25 million in revenue. During production the Nugget Pond mill surpassed gold recoveries of 91%. There is approximately 30,000 oz remaining in the defined resource with potential for future exploration and expansion during the Company's next diamond drilling campaign. The exploration drift is being prepared to begin diamond drilling for exploration in this zone.
The Upper Footwall Zone is a new high-grade discovery that sits stratigraphically between the Ming Deposit and the Lower Footwall Zone. It has been intersected thus far along a 400m plunge length where it ranges between 6.0 and 14.4 metres in thickness. The newly discovered mineralization is open at depth and remains a target for future exploration.
One of the biggest advantages that Rambler has in terms of exploration is our ability to think and work in 3D. Our early gold start-up has proven that the Ming Mine can be profitable as a standalone gold operation. With further exploration, we have an opportunity to add additional ounces into the resource / reserve estimate. Recently in 2012, visible gold on multiple levels was discovered; with some grades up to 228 g/t over 5.1 metres.

"I believe this was one of those small cabinets that go above a toilet or perhaps in a laundry room," says Sherry at Upcycle Addict. "It was in perfect condition… nothing wrong with it. It was sitting on a curb along with a small mountain of stuff that had been tossed after clean up from the tornado."
Knowing she could do something with it, Sherry took the cabinet home. She added a top, made from landscaping stakes, and used old bed risers to make feet. She painted the cabinet with a homemade chalk paint mixture, and handpainted a fun "coffee time" design onto the front. Now the cabinet serves as a coffee station in Sherry's kitchen. Cute!

Timing Is Everything For Young and Travis
I was a bit surprised when Chris Young's record label re-released his song "Voices" this year. The song climbed the charts in 2008, but only reached #37.
Chris then scored bigger hits with "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" and "The Man I Want To Be." Believing that "Voices" could have been a much bigger hit, if more people were familiar with Chris, his record company re-released the song. Now, in February 2011, a song that barely got airplay 3 years ago is now a Number one hit. What are the reasons? I really don't know, other than that maybe people were more familiar with Chris and gave the song a closer listen. Honestly, I think the song was strong enough to get to Number one the first time around!
What some people may not know is that this is the second time in Country Music history we have seen this happen. In the fall of 1985, an unknown artist by the name of Randy Travis released a song titled "On The Other Hand." The song only got to number 67 and was considered a flop. Randy's record company then released his second single "1982," which got into the top 10. Then, much like Chris Young's story, the label felt that Randy could have a hit with his debut single now that more people were familiar with his name. So, in 1986 "On The Other Hand" started it's second journey and reached Number one in just fourteen weeks after it's re-release.
Just remember these success stories the next time that you fail at something the first time around. Hang in there, timing is everything!

CLAIM: Donald Trump Had Affair With Porn Star Stormy Daniels
Donald Trump is accused of having an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels in a report first published on TheDirty.com and then repeated in the pages of Life & Style.
The "Apprentice" star supposedly "cheated on Melania Trump when she was pregnant with his child," according to a so-called "source" for the original blog story.
"My friend [Daniels] had sex with Donald after one of his golfing events, and he lured her to multiple hotel rooms after that," continues this "source."
But the story is 100% false.
Trump's camp tells Gossip Cop the report is "totally untrue and ridiculous," pointing out that Life & Style went ahead and printed the allegations even though TheDirty had already pulled down its post.
More damning is that Daniels herself slams the rumor.
In a letter to TheDirty obtained by Gossip Cop, Daniels' attorney calls out the site for fabricating a sexual affair involving Daniels and Trump "to lure potential customers to your commercial filth."
Life & Style was more than happy to repeat the filth without bothering to look into its authenticity.
The only people "cheated" here are the tabloid's readers.

If there's one thing we miss about our awkward junior high days, it's the back to school shopping trip that would happen every year. The brightly colored notebooks and pencil cases currently crowding the aisles at Target have inspired us to do a little supply shopping of our own. While we're pretty sure we'd get the side-eye if we showed up to our next meetings with one of the glittery Lisa Frank folders we used to love, these pretty three-ring binders ($20) would be perfect for housing grown-up notes, reports, and paperwork.

There could be major changes coming to the Tehama County Jail. A proposal was submitted on Tuesday to the board of supervisors, asking for approval to expand the jail.
They are asking for a proposed County Jail SB 1022 construction grant, which will cost about $20 million. If approved, the Tehama County Jail would be expanded to the Tehama County Library.
The reason for expansion, Tehama County Administrator Bill Goodwin says, is over-crowding due to Assembly Bill 109 – Gov. Jerry Brown's prison realignment legislation.
"This would give them a training facility so they would hopefully come out and have productive skills so when they get out," said Goodwin.
The new facility would bring in new programs ranging from mental health to culinary programs. Extra beds would also be added.
Librarian Sally Ainsworth said she agrees with the proposal. Ainsworth said the library is outdated and changes are needed.
"We feel that we can have more modern technology in here – being an old building there were a lot of things that could not be wired so we can start off with a self check-out and a security system,"Ainsworth said.
No formal action has been taken yet, but the Criminal Justice Research Foundation will present their proposal again around June of this year.

The special Yamaha TMAX Hyper Modified by Marcus Walz has finally arrived. When the TMAX debuted on the market in 2001, it basically changed the rules of the motorcycling world with its unparalleled combination of agility, aggressiveness, sporty attitude and innovative design, and Yamaha would like to celebrate the success of its seminal maxi-scooter with a series of three special versions meant to emphasize the uniqueness of this model.
Back in 2011, Yamaha challenged three of the best customizers in the world (Lazareth, Roland Sands and Marcus Walz) to transform their VMAX into something unique, something that reflected their personal style, but this year the ante was raised even further as the Japanese manufacturer asked the same guys to do the same thing with the TMAX. Marcus Walz is the first one to introduced his own "TMAX Hyper Modified", a model that brings the whole concept of scoot customization into new and uncharted territories.
Thanks to the adoption of a different exhaust system and a lighter battery, - as well as getting rid of all the useless plastic bits - Walz managed to save 14 kg over the weight of the standard model. The fairings are made of polished carbon and were made by the customizer himself, while the mirrors on the handlebars are typical of the cafe-racer style. The saddle is inspired by the VMAX and uses fake black leather with contrasting blue stitching. Walz chose a blue paintjob that he admits was inspired by the Red Bull F1 car. Lazareth and Sands are currently working hard on their own renditions, but expect them to appear on our website pretty soon.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama swimming and diving women's swimming and diving team opened its 2013-14 home schedule with its second win of the season, beating Florida State 167-133, while the men fell to the Seminoles 179-121.
"Going into today, on paper, FSU had the edge on both sides of the meet," UA head coach Dennis Pursley said. "With the women, it was about even, with FSU a little ahead and on the men's side, the way it looked based on what both teams had done to this point, they doubled us up in points. But we fought hard throughout the meet and came away with the win for the women and very competitive meet for the men."
Junior Kaylin Burchell led the way for the Crimson Tide women, winning three events, the 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 200 individual medley. Burchell dominated the field in all three events. In the 100 and 200 breaststroke she posted times of 1:01.82 and 2:15.70, respectively, while touching the wall with a 2:03.77 in the 200 IM.
Senior Stephanie Kinsey won the 100 and 200 backstroke with times of 55.60 and 2:03.06, respectively. Freshman Leah Bird dominated the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:00.76, three seconds ahead of the field. Junior Kristel Vourna and sophomore Emma Saunders each picked up an individual victory to round out the Tide's winning ways. Vourna won the 100 butterfly with a 55.19 while Saunders posted a 1:49.62 to win the 200 freestyle.
Alabama women opened the meet against the Seminoles by winning the 200 medley relay. Vourna, Gilbert, Bird and Saunders combined for a time of 1:41.52.
The Tide women finished off the meet with a win in the 400 freestyle relay when Vourna, Gilbert, sophomore Justine Panian and Saunders combined for a come from behind win with a 3:25.33. Saunders went into the water a half-second behind FSU's A relay and touched the wall more than three-quarters of a second ahead, eliciting a huge reaction from the Tide fans.
On the men's side of the meet, sophomore distance ace Brian Westlake secured the first individual win of the day with first-place finish in the 1650 freestyle with a time of 15:45.61. Westlake came back later in the meet led from start to finish in the 500 freestyle, winning it with a time of 4:28.68.
Freshman Anton McKee won the 100 and 200 breaststroke with times of 54.67 and 1:57.98, respectively. Senior BJ Hornikel contributed a win in the 100 freestyle with a time of 44.76.
Despite the meet being out of reach, the Tide men continued to battle down to the last event. During that event, the 400 freestyle relay, Hornikel blasted a 43.76 anchor leg as his teammates and the fans on the pool deck raised a deafening roar. The All-American made up more than a second on FSU's A relay and pulled the Tide within 2/10ths of a second of catching the Seminoles.
"The men never let up, even when the meet was decided," Pursley said. "They just kept competing and working at it, which is exactly what we want as we go forward."
Alabama returns to action next month, traveling to Gainesville Fla., November 7 to take on the Florida Gators at 7:00 p.m. ET.

A Highway 85 accident in Cupertino, Calif. on Monday left one young girl dead and three others injured. A woman driving a minivan was parked on the shoulder of the highway and a man ran off the road and crashed into the back of their vehicle. The scene was described as being quite horrific, and ABC7 shared the details.
At this time it is unknown why the Mazda minivan was parked on the shoulder. The Highway 85 accident happened Monday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. A man driving a Jeep Wrangler is said to have veered off the road and into the rear of the minivan.
The young girl who is believed to have been about 5 years old died immediately. The girl's brother as well as the driver of the minivan, believed to be the mother of the two children, were injured and transported to the hospital. The young boy had moderate injuries while the woman had minor injuries. It is reported that both children were in booster seats or car seats.
The NBC Bay Area Twitter account shared a couple of photos from the scene, and they are stunning. Both vehicles are severely damaged, and some might wonder how there were not additional casualties. It is said an additional vehicle also ran into the minivan during the incident as the minivan was propelled into traffic on the highway. The driver of the third vehicle was not injured in the Highway 85 accident.
The Jeep driver has not been identified. He is said to be a 56-year-old man who is from San Jose. He had major injuries, but little more is known about his condition at this point. It is also unknown what caused the Jeep to swerve and crash. The investigation into the Highway 85 accident continues, and more information should become available soon.

Life's a beach for Carlos
by Stuart Vose
Spaniard Cuellar living la vida loca in north east.
Carlos Cuellar has wasted no time in sampling everything the North East has to offer following his move from Aston Villa this summer.
The Spanish defender immersed himself in the region's culture since arriving at the Stadium of Light in earlier this summer, spending his days off visiting local landmarks such as Roker Beach and Durham Cathedral.
A huge advocate of social media, Cuellar has been keeping fans up to date with his travels and sight-seeing via his Twitter account and runs regular competitions on his official website.
"I'm enjoying my time in the North East, and on my days off I like to visit different places," he said. "You have a lovely city, beach and restaurants. I'm so happy here and enjoying it a lot.
"There's a massive difference to Birmingham, there are different things to do. I think the beach is so important because it makes you feel better with the views. Durham Cathedral was very nice. I think there is a lot more to do.
Cuellar believes it is important footballers do not isolate themselves from the fans who watch them week in and week out, and to demonstrate this is hoping to organise a social event to properly introduce himself to the Sunderland faithful.
He added: "I love drinking coffee, and if the supporters want to join me that is fine. I'm trying to arrange a meeting with around 50 supporters to have a coffee and chat with me for a few hours one afternoon.
"It's very important the players get to know the supporters because sometimes they think you are untouchable and really special.
"But we are no more special than them. So I think it is good to talk to them and to know how they feel about you and about the team.
"It's also good for them because they don't know a lot about what happens inside the club or the dressing room and you have to talk to them to let them know how things are working.
The more they know players and how they feel the more the supporters can help us on the pitch.
"I think there has to be constant communication between the players and the crowd. They help us and we can help them. It's important to communicate all the time."

It comes down to how bad does Chip Kelly wants Michael Vick, and the Eagles do not want to waste time. Kelly has to make an evaluation on Vick and place a value on how much the Eagles would pay, however, if it's a pay cut Vick would be likely heading to free agency.
Vick could choose to take a cut, but it's unlikely with Andy Reid in Kansas City and the Chiefs would likely pay Vick the money he wants.
According to Mike Florio of profootbaltalk.com, the Eagles need this issue resolved sooner or later. They could let Vick's contract become guaranteed and seek trade offers to get something back of value.
However, that's a risky move as they won't set the value for Vick; the market will and the Eagles could become hostage to their own tactics. Florio wrote:
'Time is of the essence on all steps, because if the Eagles are going to maximize trade interest and trade value, they need to do it before teams make other plans at quarterback, by signing for example a free agent.
It's expected that the Eagles will head to the Scouting Combine with an action plan, with the hopes of getting an agreement in principle with a new team well before March 13, when trades will become finalized.'

This is it: 2012, the infamous year spoken of, dreamt of and feared for centuries in the human mind and imagination. There may still be those doomsayers out there, ringing the bells signaling the end of the world. However, most rational people who listen to their own, higher inner guidance have come to the conclusion that this historic moment in human history is nothing more than an end of an era-not the world. The end of the world as we know it perhaps, because with endings come new beginnings and New Beginnings is what 2012 is all about.
Those who are in for the bumpiest rides are people who habitually use their mind, brain and logic over gut, heart and instinct to make choices. If you feel you are in control of your life because you plan every last detail of your day, you are in for a rough ride as well. If you believe you have the future well thought out and planned to the last possible situation: you're in for a very, very rough ride. At least, that's the general idea I've gotten from more than one source.
We are entering an era of living from the heart, being in touch with spirit and for many a strong call to find their true purpose for being here. This means surrendering completely to your destiny, to the will of God, of Goddess, of Spirit. Not our will, not our detail oriented plans that we believe will bring happiness or fulfillment. This is the time to open our hearts to Limitless Possibilities. To plot and plan the future is only limiting your potential, to surrender to the highest good of yourself, those in your care and all those you influence allows for so much more to come through and manifest in your life!
Dream, imagine, allow and accept are all key words that you would do well to keep in the forefront of your vocabulary this year. Especially ACCEPT!
This shift is in part about personal perspective and letting go of the fight to control, to hold onto the ILLUSION that we have total control of our lives. There is only one thing we have total control of in our lives and that is how we react to any given situation we are faced with. Be it the death of a loved one, animal or human. Be it the loss of a job or career path. Be it the end of a long relationship. We may not have control over what emotions take front and center in times of stress, but we have the power to choose how we react: with anger or grace, with rage or patience, with resentment or acceptance.
Of course, as so many of us know, understanding what the higher road is can be much easier than the work (and YES it's work!) involved in training yourself to take the higher road: to react with grace, patience and acceptance in every situation. Few know this better than I, and there are an embarrassing number of witnesses in my life that could support that statement! So it comes as no surprise that my own personal way of slipping into this year of infamy was flat on my back due to a bad slip on ice and one pissed off L5 disc in my lower back! I thought nothing of it at first beyond the initial pain and the knocking of breath from my body. But two days later when I returned to work it became painfully clear to me that the damage was done and I was in for a rough transition into 2012.
Since December 27th I have been mostly confined to my bed or reclined on the couch: lying down is the best medicine and the only relief. If I stand or sit for too long, my back doesn't give me much of a choice, but my knees only buckled and dumped me once, at the start when I underestimated the injury. Needless to say, the pain and helplessness didn't bring out the best in me. It reached a peak on the day the pain was the worst, the day before I went to see Dr. Ann Ree. I felt like I pulled back the curtain to reveal a tiny bit of the rage that has lived in me for far too long. Well hidden from most people's view, but there none-the-less.
I lashed out a bit at my mom and was certainly not reaching out to friends; I love my friends and the last thing I want to do is subject them to me at my worst! I love my mom to, but I felt she needed to understand what depth of pain I was dealing with. That night I had a vision of myself as a bitter, angry and very alone woman. My physical pain, while debilitating was nothing compared to the emotional anguish I was feeling in those dark moments of suffering. But that vision gave me the motivation to really decide to commit to LIFE. Doug may have hearing loss after bearing witness to my emotional plea for help from my Gods and Goddesses and Spirit Guides along with a list of others to take the pain: the emotional anguish and the physical pain both. I really, really am done with them thank you.
For good measure I proclaimed my desire to enjoy life, to live it with joy and of course I never leave out the ever-important note to all the dark and murky energies, etc, to take leave since they have no right to be here or influence the future of this planet. Isn't that what the shift is about: entering an age of light, of true compassion for our fellow humans and the planet and all her abundant life forms? Compassion is the heart and basis of so many spiritual teachings. Again, as so many of us know, understanding what compassion is and living from a center of compassion every moment of your life are two very different things!
Well, good news! This is the year for Transformation, the likes of which haven't been felt in a very long time. The world is reflecting this: the common people standing together en masse, saying "NO MORE!" Take your choice of things worth saying no to: tyranny, dictatorship, injustice, poverty, war, hate, greed of the few at the cost of the many and saying no more as well to the continued raping of natural resources at the cost of our own health, not just our planet. "Save the Earth" and "Save the Humans" really are interchangeable along with "Save the Rain Forests" and "Save the Whales". For, another common theme in every indigenous culture's spirituality is that we are truly one with everything.
So, it is an exciting, and sometimes frightening time to be a human being here and the best thing we can do for ourselves is realize we can't change the world. We can only change our own perspectives, our own habits and we can become aware and connect with or create community. Power, Strength and Control have been given too long to the very few; balance must be regained, sanity in human practices must be restored and WE are the people who will put this Healing of the Planet and Human kind in motion.
Change is coming…are you going to accept and flow…are you going to fight and continue suffering? This is a planet of Free Will and it truly IS our choice! I'm not saying it will be easy, but I state for the record: I choose Grace. I choose Patience. I choose Acceptance. I choose unlimited Possibilities for the expression of my own personal Gifts. I choose community. I choose Love!
Most of all, I open myself to people who love me and will hold me and my behavior accountable to this end!

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Dwight Powell spent too much time on the bench during the first half. He made up for it in the second half.
Powell scored all 20 of his points in the second half in leading Stanford past UC Davis 75-52 Saturday.
"Coach told me to stay ready and keep my head in the game," Powell said. "I stayed engaged as much as possible."
Josh Huestis added 14 points and nine rebounds for the Cardinal (7-3), which has won four of its last five games. Chasson Randle scored 12 points.
J.T. Adenrele scored a career-high 23 points to pace the Aggies (1-6), who lost their fourth straight. Corey Hawkins added 10 points.
"I stayed out of foul trouble, which allows me to stay in the game and get a rhythm going, get a flow," Adenrele said. "Once I get a flow, I feel pretty comfortable with the game and that's where I can make my moves and get my points."
Powell made his first eight shots of the second half after being limited to two minutes in the first half due to foul trouble.
"He showed maturity to come back with 20 points," Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins said. "I'm proud of him. In earlier years, I don't know that he comes back to that level."
Powell's mother died in September and her birthday would have been Friday.
"It was a terrific way to honor his mother," Dawkins said. "That was a great performance."
That was echoed by UC Davis.
"Powell is something else. He's a really good player," Adenrele said. "It's always an honor to play against players of his caliber. I'm happy with what I did against him. Of course, that dunk on me, that was crazy."
Powell's left-handed dunk capped the rally that put Stanford ahead 54-39. The Aggies were within seven points with 15 minutes remaining to play before the Cardinal got going.
"Our main focus was to reduce turnovers," Powell said. "We did that and it is an important step for us."
Ryan Sypkens, who entered the game as one of the nation's top 3-point shooters, was limited to a pair of 3-pointers, his fewest since connecting on one in the Aggies' season-opening loss at Oklahoma.

NOTES: Stanford has won its last six games following the extended break for final exams ... The Cardinal improved to 16-1 all-time against UC Davis and has won four consecutive games in the series ... Stanford has held six teams to under 40.0 percent shooting so far this year ... The Cardinal boasted a commanding 45-30 edge on the glass, led by Josh Huestis' nine rebounds ... Stanford finished 18-25 from the free throw line and is now shooting 75.1 percent for the year. The Cardinal, which has shot better than 70.0 from the foul line only once in the last six years, is averaging 25.3 attempts from the charity stripe per game ... Dwight Powell notched his fourth 20-point game of the year ... Stanford racked up a season-best 12 steals ... The Cardinal's 40 first-half points were a season-high total ... Stanford has now made at least one three-pointer in 365 consecutive games, dating back to Nov. 24, 2001 ... Stanford recorded its first 20-point win of the year ... Rosco Allen and Gabriel Harris received starting nods for the second straight game ... Stanford embarks on a challenging road swing, facing No. 25/25 NC State (Tuesday) and Northwestern (Friday).
- - - - - - - - - - -
Stanford Head Coach Johnny Dawkins
"It was a great game coming off the break. I thought it was a terrific opponent. UC Davis could easily be 5-1; their record is deceiving and I think they've played very well. Jim (Les) has a really good team. And give our kids a lot of credit, having been away from the game for two weeks for finals and the reading period. I thought our kids came out and gave a terrific effort."
"I'm really proud of Dwight, not because of the 20 points. I'm proud of him because I think in years past, if he had a half where he got in foul trouble and only played two minutes, he wouldn't have bounced back to the level he bounced back tonight. He showed a lot of maturity to have 20 points in the second half against a good team, so I was really proud of that. I'm also proud because his mother's birthday was yesterday. His mother passed suddenly this summer, and that's difficult to handle. We talked about it yesterday and I thought his response was great today. He was able to go out there and honor her with a great performance."
"For us, our defense is ahead of our offense right now. I believe in our guys, I know we have some good shooters. Look, if we're defending like we're defending right now, I'll take it. The way we're defending, we're giving ourselves a chance to win against everyone every night, and we haven't shot the ball to the level I know we're capable of. So that's going to happen for us, as long as we continue to stay confident, believe in ourselves, as long as I continue to believe in them -- which I do, I love my team -- I think that's going to turn around and we're going to shoot the ball well. And I think we'll become an even better team."
"The two things we wanted to address for us during the break -- and it's hard over the break, as you know, because it's finals week because you may have a few of the guys or all of the guys, some have tests, some have study groups -- the things we wanted to get across to our guys was valuing the basketball, which is turnover prevention, and the other thing we wanted to get over was valuing every possession...I thought our guys did a good job for the most part of showing discipline and looking for good opportunities."
Stanford junior Dwight Powell
"Coach told me to stay ready. I sat because of fouls. He told me to keep my head in the game and cheer my teammates on. I stayed engaged as much as possible throughout the first half. I tried to keep myself ready."
"One of our main focuses [over break] was to reduce our turnovers, and we did so tonight. Which I think is important for us, to play smarter, take care of the ball."
"We see every game as an opportunity, and going up against NC State and Northwestern are definitely great chances to get some good opponents on the road, and really continue to work on what we're trying to do here."
"Coach Madsen is great, especially in practice. He brings a lot to the table with his experience. He's able to get into drills with us sometimes and bang with us. He's played multiple years in the pro leagues and it's a great thing to have, a great resource, especially to ask him about specifics because he's so short a time removed from the game ... It even translates over to us against each other, just because he preaches that we're supposed to be men down there and that's what we try to do."
UC Davis Head Coach Jim Les
"When we stuck to the script of what we wanted to do, we did some good things. We made them shoot 29 threes and that's what we wanted, but we needed to come up with first rebounds. They got a lot of second chances; those second-chance opportunities put them on the line, especially in the first half when Powell was out. There were instances of 50-50 balls tonight that we've got to come up with."
"Offensively, the ball stopped (for us). When we have good ball and player movement, we do some good things. Those are the things that we need to clean up. Give Powell credit; he sat the whole first half, so he's coming to get his. I thought some of our lack of intensity was that we focused on him and not giving him easy touches or giving him driving lanes. With Powell being out in the first half, I thought Josh Huestis did a nice job. We put a body on him, but he went over the top of us a couple of times and he kept balls alive."
"They (Stanford) have some size and length, and they close space pretty quick. We tried to shoot over some long, athletic guys versus making the extra pass, maybe another penetration -- that would have gotten us some better looks."

During testing of my old FT lenses, I noticed both of them get the confirmation beep on my E-M5 almost instantly, but the lens, will then continue to move past the focus point, the back again to land on focus, perhaps 0.25 to .75 seconds later. I'm not concerned, as focus is always accurate, but wondered if others have noticed this? --Shawn Wrighthttp://www.flickr.com/photos/zuikowesty/

Acer M900, F900, X960 and DX900 officially announced
MWC 2009 is not only about Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson or HTC.
There's also Acer, for example, the Taiwanese computer maker which has just unveiled four of its new smartphones: Acer M900, Acer F900, Acer X960, and Acer DX900. All of them run on Windows Mobile 6.1 and are part of Acer's Tempo series of handsets.
The real novelties here are the M900 and F900, since we've already seen the X960 and the DX900.
Let's start off with Acer Tempo M900, which seems to be the company's flagship model.
Built "for all your communications on the go", the M900 has a full sliding QWERTY keyboard, a large touchscreen display and several other nice features.
The smartphone's full list of specs includes:
- Quad-band GSM connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
- Tri-band HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity (850/1900/2100 Mhz)
- 3.8 inch TFT touchscreen display with 800 x 480 pixels
- Acer Shell 2.0 UI
- G-sensor (i.e. accelerometer)
- Fingerprint sensor
- Wi-Fi
- 5MP autofocus camera with flash
- 533 MHz Samsung S3C 6410 processor
- 128 MB SDRAM, 256 MB flash memory
- microSD card slot
- Talk time: up to 5 hours
- Stand by time: up to 160 hours
- 119 x 62 x 17.1 mm
- 188 grams
Next on the list is Acer Tempo F900. The F900 doesn't have a keyboard at all, thus it's slimmer than the M900 (117.5 x 63.5 x 12.85 mm).
The features of Acer F900 are similar to the ones of M900, save for the fact that it has a 3MP camera instead of a 5MP one.
Acer Tempo X960 (previously spotted in some leaked live images) also comes with quad band GSM and tri-band HSDPA connectivity.
However, its display is only a 2.8 inch VGA (640 x 480) one. Other than that, the handset has a 3.2MP camera, GPS and Wi-Fi.
And finally, Acer Tempo DX900 is that re-branded Glofiish DX900 we saw not long ago.
Its main attraction is the dual-SIM capability: SIM 1 works on quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA frequencies, while SIM 2 is for the 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM bands only. Plus, the handset also has a VGA touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi and a 3.2 MP camera.
Acer didn't say when its new smartphones will be on sale, but this should probably happen starting the next few months.

Before he went on stage at Friday night's big dinner and fundraiser put on by the Ohio Democratic Party, where former President Bill Clinton was the big draw and keynote speaker to approximately 2,500 people who showed up, the Democratic Party's endorsed candidate for governor, Ed FitzGerald stopped by the press pen to answer questions.
Behind in money and not nearly as well known as his incumbent Republican officeholder, Gov. John Kasich, FitzGerald answers questions ranging from when he'll air his first TV ad to a response on his fundraising to date, which his campaign says is accelerating but reality shows is far short of the treasury Gov. Kasich has amassed.
Earlier in the evening, ODP Chairman Chris Redfern also answered questions on a variety of topics. What him hear on 60 Seconds Ohio.
The U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis released revised State GDP figures from 2010 through 2013 last week showing Ohio's GDP in 2013 grew only 1.8 percent after growing 2.5 percent in 2010, the last year of Gov. Ted Strickland's snake-bitten term during which Ohio both lost hundreds of thousands of job while performing a recovery that Gov. Kasich inherited but has never acknowledged. Ohio trailed 30 other states in personal income growth in 2013 with income growth trailing the national average.

This week I am doing a series on early reviews of my book On the Historicity of Jesus. If you know of reviews I don't cover by the end of the first week of July, post them in comments (though please also remark on your own estimation of their merits).
One of those early reviews posted is by Loren Rosson III (at The Busybody), a notable librarian who is well-informed and well-involved in the biblical studies community. Interestingly, he compares my book to another that I have on my shelf (literally right behind me as I type) but have not yet read, arguing that Mohammed was also mythical: Robert Spencer's Did Muhammad Exist? (which I've been told by all accounts is the best book on the subject; but don't ask me my opinion on that topic, I have not examined it).
Rosson's review is thoughtful and well stated. He is fair and accurate even when critical. That's a good sign that one is not engaging in motivated reasoning nor has emotional or ideological blinders on. His review is also overall positive, and only focuses on his disagreements because they are more interesting to him (as one should expect).
I should note, however, that though Rosson makes a good point about non-specialists being able to have good arguments (I've said as much of Doherty, for example), I am not comfortable with trusting Spencer's master's degree in religious studies when one should need a Ph.D. in medieval Arabic studies to confidently make the kinds of claims Rosson describes Spencer making. By contrast, I am writing about a historical claim in Greco-Roman antiquity, and I have a Ph.D. in Greco-Roman history. Consequently, I would want to hear a Ph.D. in medieval Arabic studies comment on Spencer's claims before being confident in them. Whereas a Ph.D. in New Testament Studies is arguably less qualified than me to discuss the historicity of a person in an ancient religion, as their primary field is not history and historical methods, and its focus is obsessively scripture-based and rooted in a long history of Christian faith assumptions, and not as focused on the necessary background evidence pervading the period and time. The result is often disastrous: note the evidence even a superb scholar like Mark Goodacre thought existed (yet doesn't), because the "consensus" in his field actually derives from unexamined Christian faith assumptions. If that can happen to Goodacre, it's even more likely to happen to everyone else in his field. For more of my take on this issue (and the kinds of eye-rolling arguments Rosson is rightly criticizing) see summaries here and here and here, and more detail here.
I should also note that Rosson is (only slightly) incorrect in saying I don't find any evidence for mythicism in the Gospels, since technically I did in the Rank-Raglan data, as I point out at the bottom of OHJ, p. 395. Due to the requirements of Bayesian logic, that data had to be removed from consideration when evaluating the rest of the Gospels as evidence, and it is then that I find nothing further that tips the scales either way. This doesn't affect anything Rosson says, but I want to make sure people are clear on this point. Indeed, more elements of the Gospels could even be pulled into the Rank-Raglan scheme (I cover some examples in OHJ, p. 230), but the effect would not be statistically significant. That is, it would not lower significantly the probability that a historical person would have those added on. Once a historical person is already scoring near the top of the Rank-Raglan scale (and I allow that between 1 and 4 who do score that high were indeed historical: see OHJ, ch. 6), the addition of yet more mythical details does not much change things (basically, we are talking about the law of diminishing returns, applied to probability).
But on to Rosson's few actual criticisms of my arguments:
- First, when Rosson says, "There is nothing improbable about an apostle who never knew Jesus, and was at loggerheads with those who did, and who wanted to avoid any reference to his earthly business."
I actually already refute that argument on OHJ, pp. 525-28. It is, of course, already an unproven assumption, and an improbable one at that, that no references to Jesus's earthly business were ever in any way supportive of anything Paul taught, or related to any disputes Paul had to answer or that he or his congregations were ever curious about (OHJ, pp. 510-28, where I document pretty much every expert examining the question in detail admittedly scratches their head over this: it is contrary to every expectation). But even if we granted that improbable assumption (which even as a 50/50 assumption, cuts the prior probability of historicity in half), it still makes no sense that Paul would never have to address the most powerful and obvious argument against the very things Rosson speaks of. Paul couldn't win an argument by pretending it didn't exist.
- Second, when Rosson says, "When you weigh all of Paul's Jesus-death metaphors, the scales tip in favor of minimal historicity."
Rosson does not put numbers to this. My method calls for critics to do that (OHJ, pp. 601-06, 616-18). I can't properly evaluate the merits of this statement, or even know what he means by it, without his stating which number it changes, how much, and why. I am left with having to guess. From what he says, he seems to mean that it would be less probable of a celestial self-sacrifice to be described as a martyrdom than an earthly one. Given that the theory is that the first Christians genuinely believed the celestial self-sacrifice happened, and was indeed voluntary (as Paul's use of the "Philippians Hymn" makes clear, in Phil. 2:5-10), I do not see how one can argue this. Why would they not see that as a martyrdom as much as any other martyrdom? Rosson seems to be projecting his own (?) anti-supernatural bias onto persons like Paul. But Paul fully embraced the supernatural realm as a real place. He even claims to have visited it (2 Cor. 12). It doesn't matter at what elevation you are standing when you are martyred. It's not as if being martyred on Mount Olympus suddenly no longer counts as a martyrdom, because it's "too high up." It's possible I am misreading the logic Rosson intends. But that's why the method needs to be followed.
- Third, when Rosson says, "Paul would have little reason to bring up a lesser non-apostolic James in the context Gal 1-2, as such a figure would be beneath mentioning."
I actually already refute that argument on OHJ, pp. 588-91. I need say no more. Rosson also already grants that in my a fortiori estimates I count this as evidence for historicity just as he does. So I already accounted for views such as his. Even though I find they don't hold water.
- Fourth, although this is minor, when Rosson says, "a genuine case from the gospels [of an embarrassing detail someone couldn't omit] would be Jesus' mistaken prophecy about the apocalypse."
On the methodological point, Rosson mischaracterizes my argument (this time in Proving History) as being that authors could always omit whatever they wanted, when in fact I actually agreed that was sometimes not the case, and rather this is something one needs to take more seriously than those using the criterion of embarrassment have. So I fully concurred with what Rosson says here, even explicitly (e.g. PH, pp. 136, 159, 166-67). I suspect Rosson is here succumbing to a common mistake in understanding probability and the language of probability: when someone says x is unlikely, it is not an apt rebuttal to say that x sometimes happens. "Unlikely" already entails x sometimes happens, so the person who said x is unlikely is already conceding the point. Once you make that mistake, it is then easy to forget about or overlook even explicit statements of that point (such as the three I just cited from PH). But hopefully Rosson now stands corrected.
On the factual point, I fully agree with Rosson's example, and even (presciently!) explained why he is right in PH, pp. 148-49. Jesus's failed prediction of the end times was indeed embarrassing, and not merely so, but a problem Mark had to address. The problem is that we know where Paul got Jesus's predictions of the imminent end: revelation. That does not support historicity–any more than the Book of Revelation does. That was probably a fabrication, not even an honest vision. But even as an honest vision, it is not a historical Jesus who is saying anything in it. So, too, for Paul's source of Jesus's teachings about an imminent end. So even here, one of the rare cases where it works at all, the Argument from Embarrassment does not get you to a historical Jesus.
In the end, Rosson admits that, even with his objections voiced (which I enumerated above), what remains is "not so as to leave me supremely confident" in the historicity of Jesus. In this respect his position now resembles that of Philip Davies: though still clinging to historicity, nevertheless granting that it's respectably possible Jesus didn't exist. And that tenuous thread dangles on the four objections above, whose flaws I noted. But I am impressed with how well-considered Rosson's pro-con analysis of OHJ is, and would love to see more reviews like it. I am also impressed that even despite his objections, he has added my book to his list of recommended readings for the study of Jesus. We are moving the debate forward. That's a good thing.
For a complete list of my responses to critiques of OHJ, see the last section of my List of Responses to Defenders of the Historicity of Jesus.

I only make 2 slight changes to the recipe: My bf doesn't like vinegar, so I use lime juice instead. Also, I don't seed the jalapenos (and I don't measure them... I just add the whole pepper), and I add closer to 1 tsp. of cayenne pepper because we like it extra spicy. Everybody loves it!"

College Hockey:Aligning D-III men's title game with Frozen Four has pros, cons
The proposal to align the Division III men's national championship game with the weekend of the Frozen Four in 2014 has drawn both support and concerns from the NCAA Division III Championships Committee.
The group has asked the Division III Men's Ice Hockey Committee to adjust the season schedule to avoid adding weeks, which could mean a later start date.
The hockey committee earlier approved the proposal that would move the championship game to the Friday between the Division I men's national semifinals and final at the Frozen Four in Philadelphia in 2014.
But that would stretch the Division III season an extra three weeks for the final two teams and an extra week for the semifinalists.
"The Championships Committee understands the potential benefits with this proposal and likely will support it as long as it doesn't negatively affect the length of the season," committee chair Stuart Robinson, the athletic director at SUNY New Paltz, told ncaa.com. "The more the date formula can be adjusted to mitigate the delay at the end of the tournament, the more the proposal would align with Division III principles."
The championships committee wants to see a new schedule format by November and also wants more details on the financial changes involved. In addition, it is suggesting the move be a one-year pilot instead of a permanent change.
The proposal cleared the NCAA's Division I Championships/Sport Management Cabinet on Tuesday.
Instead of a schedule that would see Division III men's first-round games played on Wednesday, March 12, quarterfinals on Saturday, March 15, semifinals on Friday, March 21 and the final on Saturday, March 22 in 2014, the proposal calls for first-round games on March 15, quarterfinals on March 22, semifinals on Saturday, March 29 and the title game on Friday, April 11.
The semifinals would be at campus sites. Since 2009, the Division III men's championship weekend has been played at a neutral site.

Facebook accidentally launches Snapchat competitor Slingshot
But promptly pulls it from the App Store
SOCIAL NETWORK Facebook accidentally released its rumoured Snapchat rival called Slingshot on Monday, before promptly pulling it from the App Store.
Talk of Facebook's Slingshot app first appeared in March, with the Financial Times reporting that the social network was close to releasing the Snapchat copycat. It seems that the rumours were correct, as Facebook's Slingshot app made a brief appearance in the App Store on Monday before it was promptly removed.
However, the brief appearance was quickly jumped on by The Verge, and it got all of the details about the application, which likely will make another debut later this week.
Much like Snapchat, Facebook's Slingshot application lets you send photos and videos to friends that disappear once they are viewed. The app also allows users to add captions and draw on images.
Unlike Snapchat, however, you have to first send a message back to your friend before you can "unlock" their message, likely in a bid to encourage users to socialise more on the application. While you're viewing a message, you also have the opportunity to tap a React button in order to send your reaction back to the sender.
The app description read, before it was scrubbed, "Slingshot lets you quickly share moments - little and big - with all your friends. Shoot a photo or video of what you're up to and sling it to a bunch of people. They won't be able to see your shot until they sling something back. Tap on a shot to react, or simply swipe it away."
Facebook confirmed the accidental release of Slingshot in a statement, with a company spokesperson admitting, "Earlier today, we accidentally released a version of Slingshot, a new app we're working on.
"With Slingshot, you'll be able to share everyday moments with lots of people at once. It'll be ready soon and we're excited for you to try it out."
Facebook has yet to announce when Slingshot will reappear, but given yesterday's slip, it looks like the app will arrive on iOS first. µ

Don't Pick Mitt Romney As Your Child's Godfather
"If I'm the godfather of this thing, it gives me the right to kill it."
We all knew that the former governor of Massachusetts had flirted with pro-choice views — but not to this extent.
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt today, Mitt Romney fielded what must have been the seven millionth question about his connection to Obamacare. Why not take a swing? Mitt has a multi-million dollar campaign, a team of sharp advisers, and hours upon hours of rehearsed answers, policy platforms, soundbites, and media spin in the bag. It's the same question he's been getting every other day for the past two years. What could be the harm?
Hewitt: Yesterday, the president's campaign manager said that you are the godfather of Obamacare ... if that's who you are, can you make the Democrats an offer they can't refuse to repeal it?
Romney: (laughing) That's a great idea. We counted, by the way, that Mr. Plouffe is the Rumpelstiltskin of trying to turn straw into gold. He will not be successful. I can tell you one thing. If I'm the godfather of this thing, then it gives me the right to kill it.
The nation's most honest politician strikes again.

Easily Mount an ISO in Mac OS X
If you're wondering how to mount an ISO image in Mac OS X, it is very easy. For most ISO images you can mount them simply by double-clicking the ISO image file, and it will go through the auto-mounter app within OS X putting it on your desktop.
If for whatever reason that doesn't work there are other methods to mount ISO's within Mac OS X, and we'll cover ways to do this with the built-in Disk Utility and a more advanced option of using the command line.
Mount ISO on Mac with Disk Utility
You can mount ISO images in Mac OS X by using Disk Utility, located in the /Applications/Utilities/ directory. After you have launched Disk Utility, navigate from the Disk Utility menu down to "Open Image File" and select your ISO file. The ISO should now appear mounted on the Mac OS desktop. Yes, this works for other disk image files too (dmg, img, etc).
Mount ISO with Mac OS X command line
In the Terminal type the following command:
hdiutil mount sample.iso with sample.iso being the path to the image you want to mount. After the checksum is completet, your ISO will appear mounted on your Mac OS X desktop – that's it. You you can actually mount virtually any other disk image type with hdiutil as well, so give .dmg .img a try too.

Reviews for Cherry Chocolate Cake
"Try microwaving a container of chocolate ready-to-spread frosting for 30 seconds on high, then stir and pour over the cake. To die for! Omit the second pie filling. Never have any leftovers."
"I have also been making this sine 2004; Super cake; easy; freezes GREAT!! Don't listen to the review that called it "clay matter"... it is suppose to be thick ..Make it JUST like recipe says and believe me it is PERFECT111"
"This cake was moist and yummy. It was quick and easy to make. The cake is good both with and without the cherries on the top. Will definitely make this again."
"I have made this cake many, many times and always have requests for the recipe so I print them up ahead of time. One substitute that makes it even better is to add 8 ounces of Cola, Dr. Pepper, or Root Beer instead of water."
"I baked this cake just as recipe read. It was wonderful and so easy. If you need a quick cake recipe try this one. It's really great."
