Curt Schilling on D&C: 'I was stunned by this [managerial] choice'
|12.01.11 at 10:53 am ET
Former Red Sox pitcher and current ESPN analyst Curt Schilling called into the Dennis & Callahan show on Thursday morning to discuss the Bobby Valentine hiring. While some in town were excited by the choice, Schilling said he was more surprised than anything that the Red Sox chose Valentine as their next manager.
"This one was just a stunning one for me," Schilling said. "I didn't see the fit. Personality-wise, Bobby's a different bird. '¦ He's a different animal. He's a smart guy. I had a chance to work with him this year at ESPN. He's got some very interesting takes on managing. It just caught me off guard because when I think about the baseball ops people and what they want to do and how they want to do it here, I just didn't see him being the guy that was on their list."
Valentine is known as a manager who is not afraid to ruffle some feathers. While managing the Mets in 1999, Valentine was ejected from a game for arguing a catcher interference call, so he returned to the dugout later in the game in a fake mustache disguise. Valentine guided the Mets to some of their most successful seasons at the turn of the millenium. He was also responsible for an epic collapse in 2002 in which the Mets went 6-21 in August and 14-14 in September to finish last in the NL East. Valentine was fired after the season, and there were reports after the collapse of inappropriate behavior in the clubhouse during the season, something that may currently be too familiar to Red Sox fans.
Schilling said that while he was encouraged by Valentine's proven ability to handle a big market in New York, he was concerned about the way Valentine's career ended with the Mets.
"We all know that Boston is different than every place else," Schilling said. "It's not about just getting the team on the field and playing hard. There's a lot of other things that come with managing here. I think Bobby is equipped to handle it. He's done it in New York. But there's a lot of questions around the fact that this is exactly why Bobby ended up leaving the Mets job. The thing that happened here this year happened in New York."
Following are more highlights from the conversation. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page. On why he was surprised by the Valentine hire: "In my mind, there was a list of candidates and if there was 50 of them, he wasn't on that … I didn't see him as being a guy on their list as a target for them and what they want to do and with this group of players."
On if the Red Sox changed their criteria because they were underwhelmed by other candidates: "I don't think they were underwhelmed. I think Dale Sveum was their choice. I thought that Dale Sveum for all the right reasons was the choice and I thought the right choice. I'm still going to be an advocate for DeMarlo Hale because I think he's … I think this guy is a legitimate and potentially very successful big league manager and should have gotten a lot more consideration than maybe he did. Maybe being too close to the situation hurt him."
On who Valentine fit in with in the Red Sox organization: "I didn't see the fit. The only person I think that I saw alignment with was Larry [Lucchino] and Bobby. Not that he doesn't or couldn't have alignment with the other two people who own this team, but I wasn't seeing it. Again, when you think back through what the mandate might have been initially when they set out to do this, I thought it was a very different one than what they ended up with … And I don't mean this in a disrespectful way but it's going to come out that way, I thought someone was kidding when they first announced this, that he was being interviewed, because again, when I think back to the mandate and what the initiative might have been to change around at the end of last year and maybe going forward, Bobby Valentine is not the guy that I thought that this ownership group would be advocating for."
On what the issues with bringing Valentine in could be: "The biggest problem is that if you're reading ESPN.com, there are already players grumbling. There are players that are already bitching about the fact that this was a hire, so … it depends. Yes and no, but it doesn't make his job any easier. Instead of coming in and top-to-bottom running through the organization and what they need to do, he's going to need to manage some issues and he's not even here yet."
On Daniel Bard as a closer: The [Jonathan] Papelbon thing was a problem because of Daniel Bard in my mind. Because when Jon was here, you had for the most part, you had to beat a team for six innings or seven innings. I certainly think, he can absolutely do the job. There's no question about that. But now you have to find someone to take his job. He was as good as anybody in the game if not the best in the game at bringing out a shutdown inning before the ninth inning. It just makes your bullpen shorter. Can he do it? Absolutely. There's not another arm in the game like his. But I had always envisioned it as being a kind of transition into the role as opposed to starting the season in the role. That's going to be another challenge because if he's your closer and the season starts, he's a young kid. There's no harder thing than blowing a save. I thought he emotionally last year showed himself to be a little more up and down than you can be as a closer.

Parlophone director of press Murray Chalmers will represent Radiohead (pictured), Coldplay and Yoko Ono, it has emerged. Chalmers will promote Ono's artistic efforts and her music, including her appearance at Liverpool's Bluecoat art gallery this week - her first in 41 years. PRWeek previously revealed that Chalmers had signed up EMI artists Kylie Minogue and Lily Allen as the first clients of his fledgling agency Infinite (PRWeek, 24 January). Chalmers is still recruiting for permanent members of staff to join the team at Infinite. 'I'm looking for anyone with an interest in PR for music and the arts,' he said.

"We try to be really modern and at the same time a credible news site, with news from all around the country."
The websites of 3 News, Yahoo! New Zealand, NZ Herald and TVNZ were finalists in the category.
Stuff was also a finalist for Overall Best Site, which was won by online retailer Mighty Ape.
Two of Stuff's blogs were also recognised at the awards. Pets blog Four Legs Good, written by Nick Barnett, was voted Best Blog and wedding blog Ready or Knot, written by Greer McDonald, was a finalist in the category.
The awards were presented tonight at the Hilton Hotel in Auckland.
More than 200,000 votes were cast in 27 categories in this year's awards, organisers said.

as far as i am aware ,the museums will be open,I have been in Prague on quite a few of the holidays and places have been open.
I am not sure if the national museum at the top of wenseslas square is open,it was closed and undergoing a major refurbishment and I have not heard if it is open again.
banks and offices will most likely be closed and the transport system will probably run a sunday service but thats still very good.
Shops will be open as normal ,maybe some local placs will take the holiday but the big chains will definately be open.

thanks so much!

KENDAL Mountain Fe-tival has been named as the Tourism Event of the Year at a national awards ceremony.
It beat off competition from the Ashes Test at Trent Bridge and Ele-mental Force at Nottingham Castle to scoop the Gold Award in its category at the annual VisitEngland Awards For Excellence.
The result was announced at a glittering event at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Finalists from across the country gathered to see if they had won a gong or a commendation across 15 categories.
"It's a huge award, and a massive tribute to all involved in the Festival," said Clive Allen, one of the three KMF directors alongside Steve Scott and Matt Burke.
"And it's a big thumbs-up to Kendal as a location that is deve-loping a reputation nationally as a centre for festivals.
"With recent developments such as our link-up with Channel 4 TV, and a new KMF On The Edge summer event in Langdale this July, it's an exciting time for us.
"First and foremost, however, the award is recognition for our team of Claire Wickham, Adam Simpson, Ian Gray, Debbie McGowan and Andy Perkins, plus Robin Ashcroft who left us recently."
Kendal Mountain Festival has grown into an event that attracts more than 10,000 people into the area each November and brings an estimated £2m into the local economy.
The Watermill Inn and Brewery at Ings received the silver award for Tourism Pub of the Year and there was a bronze award for the Rothay Garden, Grasmere, in the Small Hotel of the Year category.
Cumbria County Council's Geoff Cook said of the winners: "They have showcased to a national audience the tremen-dous quality and variety of tourism enterprises in the county.
"I'm especially pleased the Mountain Festival received the top award. From relatively small beginnings, it has grown into the largest event of its kind in the world and provides a huge boost to the local economy by bringing thousands of people to the area each year."
- New home interior department for South Lakes garden centre
- Thousands of jobs safeguarded in Cumbria following historic Trident vote
- Contaminated blood campaigners 'disgusted' with support allocated
- More support secured for Kendal's high street
Now in their 25th year, the VisitEngland Awards celebrate tourism industry excellence and provide a platform to showcase the very best that England has to offer.

(Speakers and Signers) Hansel Bauman: Deaf Architecture -- The Resonance of Place and the Senses
A dialog (in speech and sign) between artists, designers, scientists, students, speakers, and signers. Participants touch on the range of human experience including deafness, and on acoustical engineering, especially resonance and sonic vibrations. All presentations are interpreted in American Sign Language. At the center of the conference is a specially-built raised floor, designed to be activated with low-frequency vibration. By sitting, standing, lying on the floor, hearing and deaf participants are able to experience sound through their bodies. During the conference, presenters use the floor as a vehicle for tactile communication.

The small brochure we received at the Visitor's Centre doesn't do justice to the cruise. Never having been on a boat going through the lock system, this was a very neat experience. The highlight was the Liftlock where the boat was lifted 77 feet in 3 minutes. The captain was the "tour guide" and was very engaging and very knowledgeable... 更多
First of all it should not be called a sightseeing cruise...it should of just been advertised as a lock ride up and a turnaround and a lift lock ride back to see how the locks operate....there was not really any sightseeing to be done...it wasn't a long enough trip up the water way...we just looked for a wide spot to... 更多
I went through the lock again and still learned some interesting information. First visit for my niece and she really enjoyed the experience. Great staff and commentary. Thank you.
An engineering marvel built in the year 1904 which needs to be experienced. Just imagine a ship getting lifted to an height of 60 feet. The cruise consists of two lift locks one to the height of 12 feet and another to an height of 60 feet making it the world's highest lift lock. If you plan to visit Canada... 更多
We took the tour boat ride last weekend on a baking hot day and were thankful we went in the morning. There is full shade almost everywhere on the boat. The captain was funny and talked continuously about the history and interesting facts on the build of both the canal and the locks, as well as some points of interest... 更多
There are cruises for different lengths of time. There is a small boat cruise with a crew of two of the kindest staff. There are several cruises throughout the day on their large cruise boat, all taking a ride up and down the liftlocks. There is a dinner cruise, a twilight cruise and you can even rent the cruise boat... 更多
In terms of an engineering design and build it's amazing once you realize that it was build on 1904, more than hundred years ago! and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. The dual lifts are the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, with a lift of 19.8 m.
Plenty of useful information and some excellent humour by the staff, snacks and drinks are also available on board. It was a pleasant experience.
My husband and I took our two grandkids, seven and five on the cruise. it was not only informative but the scenery and views were wonderful. Our grandkids enjoyed it and we all learned something new about the area. Well worth it.
When one lives in Peterborough it is so easy to put the Liftlocks in the "get around to it" category but we had out of town guests so that prompted us along. No doubt a beautiful and historically accurate bit of Peterborough pride and breathtaking awe at the marvel of the world's highest hydrolic locks? A bit pricey for the... 更多

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 68 reviews
Fun spotti stay on our way back to Miami. Took their kayaks out around sunset and saw cool stuff! Room was large and clean with a nice water view.
Our stay was very relaxing. The facilities were wonderful and the staff helpful. The restaurant next door was mediocre, but other than that, we enjoyed our stay
Excellent facility...nice healthy breakfast each morning. ...nice pool, free kayaks and paddle boats. Next to Snappers which had delicious food...
The hotel was ok but the staff was not very helpful or warm. The hallways were leo burning hot & we had no channels for my toddler to watch (or even a VCR). I think the hotel is misrepresented as having beach access, which it does not.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Dove Creek Lodge. The bed was very comfortable. The mattress was a memory foam mattress, which is great for the back. The Lodge is located next to a restaurant called Snappers that has dockside seating and live music. Kayaks and paddle boats were there for guest usage. Breakfast was great. The only downside was that the bay had a terrible smell due to seaweed, but that may just be because it had stormed earlier that day.

fractal geometry
In mathematics, the study of complex shapes with the property of self-similarity, known as fractals. Rather like holograms that store the entire image in each part of the image, any part of a fractal can be repeatedly magnified, with each magnification resembling all or part of the original fractal. This phenomenon can be seen in objects like snowflakes and tree bark. The term fractal was coined by Benoit B. Mandelbrot in 1975. This new system of geometry has had a significant impact on such diverse fields as physical chemistry, physiology, and fluid mechanics; fractals can describe irregularly shaped objects or spatially nonuniform phenomena that cannot be described by Euclidean geometry. Fractal simulations have been used to plot the distributions of galactic clusters and to generate lifelike images of complicated, irregular natural objects, including rugged terrains and foliage used in films. See also chaos theory.. McGraw-Hill Science & Technology Encyclopedia:
Top Home > Library > Science > Sci-Tech Encyclopedia Geometrical objects that are self-similar under a change of scale, for example, magnification. The concept is helpful in many disciplines to allow order to be perceived in apparent disorder. For instance, in the case of a river and its tributaries, every tributary has its own tributaries so that it has the same structure organization as the entire river except that it covers a smaller area. The branching of trees and their roots as well as that of blood vessels, nerves, and bronchioles in the human body follows the same pattern. Other examples include a landscape with peaks and valleys of all sizes, a coastline with its multitude of inlets and peninsulas, the mass distribution within a galaxy, the distribution of galaxies in the universe, and the structure of vortices in a turbulent flow. The rise and fall of economic indices has a self-similar structure when plotted as a function of time. See also Galaxy, external; Turbulent flow; Universe. The triadic Koch curve, shown in the illustration, is a good example of how a fractal may be constructed. The procedure begins with a straight segment. This segment is divided into three equal parts, and the (single) central piece is replaced by two similar pieces (illus. a). The same procedure is now applied to each of the four new segments (illus. b), and this is repeated an

In computer graphics it has been shown that the vast amount of information contained in a natural scene can be compressed very effectively by identifying the basic set of fractals therein together with their rules of construction.

Georg Cantor and Felix Hausdorff a century later in studying functions that were continuous but not differentiable. while mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by Karl Weierstrass. the term fractal was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin frāctus meaning "broken" or "fractured. While fractals are a mathematical construct. seismology. They are useful in medicine. and does not reflect subsequent edits to the article.[2] There are several examples of fractals. soil mechanics. Roots of the idea of fractals go back to the 17th century.
. fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). for instance. it is regular enough to be described in Euclidean terms. lightning bolts. coastlines. It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curves such as the Hilbert curve). not all selfsimilar objects are fractals—for example. It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically). A fractal often has the following features:[3] It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales. mountain ranges. However. the real line (a straight Euclidean line) is formally selfsimilar but fails to have other fractal characteristics. Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification. and animal coloration patterns.[4] It has a simple and recursive definition. various vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli). snow flakes.

In 1904. which begins with an equilateral triangle and then replaces the middle third of every line segment with a pair of line segments that form an equilateral "bump" The mathematics behind fractals began to take shape in the 17th century when the mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Leibniz considered recursive self-similarity (although he made the mistake of thinking that only the straight line was self-similar in this sense). It was not until 1872 that a function appeared whose graph would today be considered fractal.[6] which built on earlier work by Lewis Fry Richardson. one year later. such as when it is possible to zoom into a region of the fractal that does not exhibit any fractal properties. however. The idea of self-similar curves was taken further by Paul Pierre Lévy. Finally. Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia. Benoît Mandelbrot started investigating self-similarity in papers such as How Long Is the Coast of Britain? Statistical Self-Similarity and Fractional Dimension. History A Koch snowflake. Helge von Koch. these may include calculation or display artifacts which are not characteristics of true fractals. when Karl Weierstrass gave an example of a function with the non-intuitive property of being everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable. Without the aid of modern computer graphics. Georg Cantor also gave examples of subsets of the real line with unusual properties—these Cantor sets are also now recognized as fractals. the Lévy C curve. In the 1960s. who. Images produced by such software are normally referred to as being fractals even if they do not have the above characteristics.Images of fractals can be created using fractal-generating software. Also. which is now called the Koch curve. dissatisfied with Weierstrass's abstract and analytic definition. gave a more geometric definition of a similar function. Felix Klein. in 1975 Mandelbrot coined the word "fractal" to .[5] Wacław Sierpiński constructed his triangle in 1915 and. Iterated functions in the complex plane were investigated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Henri Poincaré. his carpet. in his 1938 paper Plane or Space Curves and Surfaces Consisting of Parts Similar to the Whole described a new fractal curve. they lacked the means to visualize the beauty of many of the objects that they had discovered.
leading to the popular meaning of the term "fractal". These images captured the popular imagination. Objects in the phase space of a dynamical system can be fractals (see attractor). many of them were based on recursion.denote an object whose Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension is greater than its topological dimension. so it has a Hausdorff dimension equal to its topological dimension of 2—but what is truly surprising is that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set also has a Hausdorff dimension of 2 (while the topological dimension of 1). Sierpinski triangle and carpet. This set contains whole discs. An interesting example is the Mandelbrot set. Chaotic dynamical systems are sometimes associated with fractals. Generation The whole Mandelbrot set . a fractal related to the Mandelbrot set Examples A class of examples is given by the Cantor sets. dragon curve. non-deterministic). A closely related fractal is the Julia set. the trajectories of the Brownian motion in the plane have a Hausdorff dimension of 2. Additional examples of fractals include the Lyapunov fractal and the limit sets of Kleinian groups. a result proved by Mitsuhiro Shishikura in 1991. He illustrated this mathematical definition with striking computer-constructed visualizations. Objects in the parameter space for a family of systems may be fractal as well.[7] A Julia set. Menger sponge. Fractals can be deterministic (all the above) or stochastic (that is. and Koch curve. space-filling curve. For example.
Peano curve. Five common techniques for generating fractals are: Escape-time fractals – (also known as "orbits" fractals) These are defined by a formula or recurrence relation at each point in a space (such as the complex plane).Mandelbrot zoomed 6x Mandelbrot zoomed 100x Even 2000 times magnification of the Mandelbrot set uncovers fine detail resembling the full set. self avoiding walks. for example. fractal landscapes and the Brownian tree. L-systems . the Burning Ship fractal. Sierpinski gasket. The latter yields so-called mass. Harter-Heighway dragon curve. Examples of this type are the Mandelbrot set. Lévy flight. Strange attractors – Generated by iteration of a map or the solution of a system of initial-value differential equations that exhibit chaos. the Nova fractal and the Lyapunov fractal. Fractal-generating programs . Sierpinski carpet.or dendritic fractals. trajectories of the Brownian motion. Iterated function systems – These have a fixed geometric replacement rule.These are generated by string rewriting and are designed to model the branching patterns of plants. Random fractals – Generated by stochastic rather than deterministic processes. for example. The 2d vector fields that are generated by one or two iterations of escape-time formulae also give rise to a fractal form when points (or pixel data) are passed through this field repeatedly. diffusion-limited aggregation or reaction-limited aggregation clusters. Koch snowflake. percolation clusters. Menger sponge. Julia set. are some examples of such fractals. T-Square. Cantor set.
Most reasonable definitions of "fractal" trivially imply some form of statistical self-similarity.open source software for Microsoft Windows based systems Electric Sheep . For example.A cross platform open source realtime fractal zooming program Most of the above programs make two-dimensional fractals. as the satellites are approximations of the entire set.) Random fractals are examples of fractals which are statistically self-similar.freeware with available source code Sterling .A proprietary fractal generator for Microsoft Windows based systems XaoS . but not exact copies. called mandelbulbs.Freeware software for Microsoft Windows based systems SpangFract . The Mandelbrot set is quasi-self-similar. the fractal appears identical at different scales. which do contain copies of themselves at increasingly small scales. In nature . one cannot expect to find microscopic Britains (even distorted ones) by looking at a small section of the coast with a magnifying glass. Fractals defined by iterated function systems often display exact self-similarity.open source distributed computing software Fractint . the fractal has numerical or statistical measures which are preserved across scales. Quasi-self-similarity – This is a looser form of self-similarity. A specific type of three-dimensional fractal. There are three types of selfsimilarity found in fractals: Exact self-similarity – This is the strongest type of self-similarity. Statistical self-similarity – This is the weakest type of self-similarity. Some of the fractal generating programs include: Apophysis . was introduced in 2009. Quasi-self-similar fractals contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms. both free and commercial. Classification Fractals can also be classified according to their self-similarity. Possessing self-similarity is not the sole criterion for an object to be termed a fractal. (Fractal dimension itself is a numerical measure which is preserved across scales. since they have the same Hausdorff dimension as topological dimension. Examples of self-similar objects that are not fractals include the logarithmic spiral and straight lines. the fractal appears approximately (but not exactly) identical at different scales. Fractals defined by recurrence relations are usually quasi-self-similar. The coastline of Britain is another example.There are many fractal generating programs available. the Sierpinski triangle and Koch snowflake exhibit exact self-similarity.For Mac OS Ultra Fractal . such as a Quaternion. with a few creating threedimensional fractal objects. These do not qualify.
cauliflower or broccoli.A fractal that models the surface of a mountain (animation) Approximate fractals are easily found in nature. Examples include clouds. Even coastlines may be loosely considered fractal in nature.[14] A fractal flame . Trees and ferns are fractal in nature and can be modeled on a computer by using a recursive algorithm. river networks. certain self similar fractal shapes were shown to have a property of "frequency invariance"—the same electromagnetic properties no matter what the frequency—from Maxwell's equations (see fractal antenna). The connection between fractals and leaves is currently being used to determine how much carbon is contained in trees. and systems of blood vessels and pulmonary vessels. scale range. craters.[13] In 1999.[10] lightning. This recursive nature is obvious in these examples—a branch from a tree or a frond from a fern is a miniature replica of the whole: not identical.[9] crystals.[8] snow flakes.[11] DNA and heartbeat[12] can be analyzed as fractals. fault lines. but similar in nature. mountain ranges. but finite. and ocean waves. These objects display self-similar structure over an extended.
Cyberneticist Ron Eglash has suggested that fractal-like structures are prevalent in African art and architecture.[17][18] In a 1996 interview with Michael Silverblatt. sculpture. David Foster Wallace admitted that the structure of the first draft of Infinite Jest he gave to his editor Michael Pietsch was inspired by fractals. and so on. . computer analysis has found fractal patterns in his work.[15] Decalcomania.A fractal is formed when pulling apart two glue-covered acrylic sheets. Circular houses appear in circles of circles. High voltage breakdown within a 4″ block of acrylic creates a fractal Lichtenberg figure In creative works Further information: Fractal art Fractal patterns have been found in the paintings of American artist Jackson Pollock. Such scaling patterns can also be found in African textiles.[16] It involves pressing paint between two surfaces and pulling them apart. While Pollock's paintings appear to be composed of chaotic dripping and splattering. and even cornrow hairstyles. can produce fractal-like patterns. a technique used by artists such as Max Ernst. rectangular houses in rectangles of rectangles.
random fractals have been used to describe/create many highly irregular real-world objects.specifically the Sierpinski triangle (aka Sierpinski gasket) but that the edited novel is "more like a lopsided Sierpinsky Gasket". Other applications of fractals include:[20] Classification of histopathology slides in medicine Fractal landscape or Coastline complexity Enzyme/enzymology (Michaelis-Menten kinetics) Generation of new music Signal and image compression Creation of digital photographic enlargements Seismology Fractal in soil mechanics Computer and video game design. especially computer graphics for organic environments and as part of procedural generation Fractography and fracture mechanics Fractal antennas – Small size antennas using fractal shapes Small angle scattering theory of fractally rough systems T-shirts and other fashion Generation of patterns for camouflage. such as MARPAT Digital sundial Technical analysis of price series (see Elliott wave principle) Fractals in networks See also Banach fixed point theorem Bifurcation theory Butterfly effect Complexity Constructal theory Cymatics Diamond-square algorithm Droste effect Feigenbaum function Fractal compression Fractal cosmology Fractal networks Fractint Fracton Golden ratio Graftal Greeble Lacunarity List of fractals by Hausdorff dimension Publications in fractal geometry Mandelbulb Multifractal system Newton fractal Percolation Power law Random walk Sacred geometry Self avoiding walk Self-reference Strange loop Turbulence .[19] Applications Main article: Fractal analysis As described above.

Joe Bennett
An amazing thing happened in Switzerland last weekend during the annual Peace and Light Symposium. This inter-faith conference, renowned for its catering, had attracted leaders from every major belief system.
OPINION: Top of this year's agenda was the Russian meteor. All the theologians except the Archimandrite of Easter Island had seen it on television and were frightfully excited.
At the plenary session, held in the Davos Convention Centre, the Peace and Light Moderator told journalists that despite two days of commitment to the gravy train, the thinkers had been unable to reach a consensus on the meaning of the meteor. So the various factions would present their conclusions separately.
First to step to the microphone was a mullah, gravely wiping crumbs of strawberry gateau from his beard.
"God is not mocked," he said. "And neither are his faithful followers. So when a member of the New Zealand Parliament chooses to denounce all 2 billion of us as misogynist troglodytes from Wogistan, it is hardly surprising that He should choose to express his wrath meteorically."
A journalist interrupted to ask why the meteor should have been biffed at Russia rather than New Zealand, but the mullah was not fazed.
"Do you have any idea where New Zealand is?" he asked. The journalist shook his head and conceded the point.
Next up was a cardinal from Omen Dei (De Imaginis in Pane Immolatis), the powerful Vatican committee for the interpretation of portents, cloud shapes and pieces of toast burnt with the image of the Virgin.
"With all due respect to my friend the mullah," he began in Latin, "God could hardly have spoken more clearly. In the same week as the Holy Father resigns, whoompha. Coincidence? I don't think so. Our Almighty has a long history of communicating through celestial show, and this meteor is a clear warning to the Russian Orthodox church and other Eastern schismatics. Now is the time for them to renounce their heresy and to return to the one true mother church. And I am assured by the Vatican Bank Enforcement Division that a suitable accommodation can be reached with regard to centuries of unpaid . . ."
"Poppycock," exclaimed a small man leaping to his feet and shrugging off a straitjacket in what looked like a practised manoeuvre. He grabbed the cardinal by the chasubles and flung him into the wings, to applause from the Eastern Orthodox churches.
Seizing the microphone the little man glared at the gathering with eyes that swivelled independently.
"As president of the Mayan Calendar Straw Clutchers I am thrilled to announce the imminent end of the world. We were right, you were wrong, so suck on that, you sceptics."
"Wasn't it meant to be December?" shouted a journalist.
"What's a few months in an 18,000-year calendar cycle?" bellowed the little man with glee. "We're talking stone age people here. They didn't have digital calculators, you know. We're all going to die."
"I refuse to share a stage with a doom-saying poltroon," exclaimed a Texan Baptist, rising to his enormous feet.
"Not so fast, big boy," exclaimed the swivel-eyed Mayan. "All of you have got a doomsday scenario, same as we have. Fire, brimstone, rapture, apocalyptic horses and so on. We're just the only ones prepared to put a date on it." But the Texan had seized his chair and was advancing on the little man with obvious intent.
Other divines rose to their feet shouting. An ecclesiastical donnybrook seemed seconds away, with the journos cheering them on.
The Archbishop of Canterbury squealed "no violence, please, I beg you", but no-one paid him the least attention, which made him feel at home.
But then just as the Texan raised the chair above his head there came a mighty crack and the roof of the convention centre split asunder. The divines fell to their knees as one and gawped in awestruck silence. Above them lay the sweep of the cosmos in the form of a limitless multi- dimensional skittle alley.
Meteorites by the billion crisscrossed the alley at dizzying speed. And as their eyes grew used to the darkness of forever, the clerics made out a huge dim figure hunched in the heart of the cosmos, launching the meteorites arbitrarily into space like intergalactic bowling balls.
And though the figure had neither ears to hear with nor eyes to see with, whenever a meteorite struck a celestial body, wiping out a race of dinosaurs here, a whole planet there, a huge and eerie cackle rang through the reaches of eternity.
"Gosh," said the Archimandrite of Easter Island, reaching for an anchovy sandwich.

Well that's it for this title. I want to thank you so much for watching CSS Core Concepts and I hope you had fun exploring the fundamental concepts and syntax of CSS. If you want to dig a little deeper into the syntax, be sure to visit the W3C's CSS Current Work page. Here you will learn about the current status of the various CSS modules and will find links to the specifications themselves. Read through the specifications and become familiar with a proper syntax for authoring CSS. I also want to mention again some of the online tools that I find to be extremely helpful.
