âIrredeemableâ is Mark Waidâs spin on the Superman mythos, turning it upside down. Itâs only fitting that the spin-off book, âIncorruptible,â bases itself on the Batman mythos. While Max Damage/Danger isnât exactly Bruce Wayne, his relationships with a teenage sidekick and a cop who may or may not be on his side, and his hidden cave-like lair all scream Batman. But, those superficial similarities are merely a wink at the reader as Waid goes beyond that for an interesting look at what a post-Plutonian world is like.
Following up on Maxâs surprising announcement last issue that he was becoming a superhero and turning his back on his life of crime, this issue features his first patrol of the city with both his teenage sidekick Jailbait and police Lieutenant Louis Armadale in tow. Neither can quite believe that Max wants to be a hero and that turns their interactions into something of a comical farce.
Jailbaitâs disbelief and struggling to accept that the life sheâs known has been flipped allows Waid to remind us that the violent sexpot does have the emotional maturity of a typical teenage girl, which is disarming and surprising. The interactions between Max and Jailbait early in the issue have an oddly creepy dynamic with Max forcefully demanding that things be different from before, while Jailbait doesnât know how to react or act like Max wants.
Armadaleâs cynical skepticism of Maxâs newfound desire to protect and serve gives him a gruff surface that makes him somewhat endearing. His running commentary of the current situation after a visit by the Plutonian is the most interesting part of this issue. While âIrredeemableâ focuses on the big picture, it looks like âIncorruptibleâ will spotlight how the people of this world are reacting to this version of Superman turning evil and killing millions. Turns out, theyâre reacting very poorly with crime and suicides way up. The central conflict here has Max settling a hostage situation where a man is threatening to kill his family unless heâs guaranteed safety from the Plutonian, and it does not go exactly as planned.
Jean Diaz is another great find by BOOM!, which seems to have an unending supply of great artists for their titles. Diaz has done work for âWonder Womanâ and IDWâs â24â comics, but heâs really proving himself on this book â- even two issues in. His clean, polished style is the perfect complement to Peter Krauseâs equally bright and shiny superhero art in âIrredeemable.â Though not quite as polished as Krause, Diazâs art shows promise. In the non-action scenes, itâs stilted and posed, but in the action scenes itâs full of energy. He particularly does buildings and landscapes well; the wrecked streets of the city look bleak and disheartening. Given the more urban-centered approach to this book, the colors seem a little too bright at times, even when itâs dark out.
Two issues in, âIncorruptibleâ is setting itself apart from the book it has spun out of by taking a more ground-level approach to the world, focusing on the effects of the Plutonianâs rampage on a human level. The plot set in motion at the end of the issue is an engaging cliffhanger/teaser for next issue.

In late May, as Ruben Contreras fought for his life, Brian Viloria -- who had faced the rugged Mexican at Staples Center in Los Angeles in that ill-fated bout -- was considering walking away from the game. But by early September, he would stop Eric Ortiz in stunning fashion in one round to capture the WBC junior flyweight title.
In the process, he became a Filipino star. Not that it's reached the levels of "Pac Man" fever, but he is now a fighter with a following in his native country, and as Viloria (18-0, 12 KOs) faces Jose Antonio Aguirre (33-4-1, 20 KOs) this Saturday night at the Aladdin Hotel-Casino as one of the headliners of the "Real Warriors" pay-per-view card, he is becoming a Filipino icon.
At a press conference in early August at the popular Filipino eatery Max's of Manila in Glendale, Calif., he would tell the gathered media and assorted fans (who had come to be in the presence of Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales, who co-headlined that September card) that while he hailed from Hawaii and was called the "Hawaiian Punch," he was also a proud Filipino.
Things would coalesce as he would blast Ortiz with a booming right hand in front of a large throng of his people who had come to see Pacquiao perform later that evening against Hector Velasquez.
His stoppage of Ortiz widely was considered the knockout of the year for 2005.
"I felt it, I felt that shot go up my arm," he said of that punch. "But when I thought it was over for him was how he hit the ground. When his head just bounced off the floor three times, I was like, 'Oh, this is over.'"
It was the perfect ending to a tumultuous time for the soft-spoken and introspective Viloria. In the audience that night was Contreras, who made it through his ordeal.
"It was very special, it was a lot more special than winning a world title," he said of that night. Before entering the ring, he would acknowledge Contreras' presence.
"To see Ruben there ringside, alive and healthy as well, it almost made me tear up even before I got into the ring. Because that was the first time since the last time that we fought I had seen him.
"So I thought it was a special night. And winning the world title just topped the cake off."
From thoughts of retirement at age 25, Viloria now has a bright future ahead of him. As the condition of Contreras wavered and media scrutiny focused on him, the sensitive Viloria wrestled with the decision to continue his career.
In what had to be the toughest few steps of his life, just a few days after his bout with Contreras, he would walk back into the Wild Card Boxing Club to begin training for an August date with Ortiz underneath the "Million Dollar Ladies" pay-per-view card featuring Lucia Rijker and Christy Martin in Las Vegas.
Just weeks before that event, the whole card would be scrapped as Rijker suffered a training injury. If Viloria didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have had any at all.
But it turned out to be the biggest break of his career. Without Rijker's injury, Viloria wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to have won his title in front of his people.
In a few months, his fortunes turned 180 degrees.
"It came close for me to give the game up," he admitted. "I didn't know how I was going to deal with it psychologically if Ruben went the other way. But thank God he didn't and thank God I went back into the ring and into the gym just a couple of days later to assess how I was feeling."
As he wore the flag of the Philippines around his body after his jaw-dropping knockout and addressed the highly partisan audience, he cemented his status among the Filipino faithful.
"Brian was fortunate to have everything go right for him on a night when the lights were shining," said his manager, Gary Gittelsohn.
"Brian came into the fight as a challenger, he beat a world champion in a first round knockout. It ended up being the knockout of the year and he did it in front of a Filipino fan base that immediately resonated acceptance when Brian draped himself in the Philippines flag and announced he was proud to be Filipino. It was just a great, great moment."
Soon, he was off to the Philippines for business, pleasure and to take care of some family issues.
"It was a whirlwind trip of exciting things," recalled Gittelsohn, who accompanied his fighter on the trip. "Brian was a celebrity and he was treated as a homecoming hero. He arrived at the airport at 3:30 in the morning and there were 14-20 camera crews waiting for Brian. He was given two motorcades and a tickertape parade."
He was also the guest of honor of President Gloria Arroyo when they dined for lunch.
"In addition to that, Brian made a huge media tour there; he was on the equivalent of 'The Today Show,' 'The Tonight Show' and 'Oprah' almost every day. It was just one of those great moments I had never experienced before," Gittelsohn said.
Gittelsohn and Viloria met with various companies to discuss endorsement opportunities. Gittelsohn said that when you see his fighter on Saturday, those deals with be evident. In other words, his trunks will look like NASCAR with the various sponsorships.
Solar Entertainment has been hired to handle the marketing of Viloria in the Philippines. And just as they did with the rematch between Pacquiao and Morales, they will be televising the bout in the Philippines. And Viloria, who was the color commentator for that bout in January, will have the favor returned to him by Pacquiao, who will fly in for his contest.
"It was amazing, they had their arms open when I went back to the Philippines to celebrate with them," Viloria said of his homecoming.
"It was awesome, it was a great feeling. I was always Filipino, it was just that nickname kind of confused everyone, and I was born in Hawaii. I'm still proud of that and just the 'Hawaiian Punch' logo and moniker; it fits, as a fighter, as that guy who knocks out guys."
This last trip was his first since 2001 to his native land, when his aunt passed away and he visited family. This recent trip was a chance for Viloria to pay his last respects to his grandfather, who passed away shortly after his title-winning performance. "It was a bittersweet ending to a great life for my grandfather," he said.
Viloria is not just riding the crest of Pacquiao's unprecedented success and popularity, but also an infusion of young, talented Filipino boxers who are leading a boxing boom in that country.
"It's just a whole resurgence of fighters coming out of the Philippines, and with Manny Pacquiao, everyone looking at [Rey] 'Boom Boom' Bautista, those guys are coming out from the Philippines," said Viloria, who works side by side with many of his country's upstarts at the Wild Card. "The fans are just ecstatic about all the talent coming out of the Philippines and they support them because they don't have huge sports idols and boxing is the next big thing.
But it hasn't quite hit Viloria that he is a major world titlist. But he realizes the challenges it brings.
"It's still something I'm working my way into. There's things that tell you, people pay attention to you more and the fights are lined up for you," he said. But he adds: "I think it's tougher to be a world champion. It's tougher to stay on top than reaching it. So I train twice as hard being a champion than trying to get up."
Although many will make the natural comparisons to Pacquiao, Bob Arum, who promotes him, has another comparison in mind.
"He's going to be like a Michael Carbajal," Arum said.
In the early '90s, Arum moved Carbajal so adroitly he was able to pay him $1 million to face Humberto Gonzalez in 1993. It was unheard of for a 108-pounder, then and now.
"I have big, big hopes for him," Arum said of Viloria. "He has superstar written all over him because he's got a great, great personality and a pleasing boxing style. I really have great hopes for Viloria."
While there are plans to bring Pacquiao to the Philippines in May, similar forays are being formulated for Viloria.
"It's definite," Gittelsohn said, "we're going to do it. Within the next two fights, Brian will definitely come back to the Philippines. No one knows how to nurture a market as well as Bob Arum, when he sees there is a market. It's one of the things I love and appreciate about him and I'm glad that Bob's with him. We are definitely going to have a homecoming in the Philippines and Brian's going to fight there."
But first things first. Viloria has to take care of business on Saturday night. After all the euphoria and hoopla of the past few months, now Viloria has to get back to business. Although Aguirre might be a faded veteran, he is one with championship experience and savvy, and Viloria comes in as a marked man.
With a loss, all the strides and inroads that Viloria made with his victory over Ortiz will be diminished. A win is expected. A loss would be devastating. This, in many respects, could be the toughest and most challenging fight he has ever participated in.
"I think so," he said, "because everyone says that all these guys are just coming out at you and I know that. Everyone is preparing for their optimum peak and they want to try and knock you off the horse. All those guys are trying to bring everything to the table."
Hawaiian Punch
Arum wouldn't mind taking Viloria to the islands of Hawaii, either, even with the difference in the time zones.
"We've always had that problem. Hawaii is two hours after Los Angeles and we deal with it," he said. "People in Hawaii are used to it. On a Saturday, a show goes on at four in the afternoon; well, people watch football there in Hawaii, so it's not a big problem. As long as it's on the weekend, it's not a big problem."

It turns my stomach to read about Monica Knight in the paper ("Silver Lake High School grad gets probation for 2012 crash," April 15).
Walking away from court with no time in jail, after destroying three families' lives forever? Not just the three people who were in the car with her on that morning when she drove head-on into the school bus; their whole families were left to suffer. She walks free, after failing three drug tests, while they all suffer for as long as they are alive. What a joke the court system is in this part of the country.
Most of us that would have been in that position would have wound up in jail.

Recovering Providence in an Era of Christian Anxiety
Hand-wringing among religious folks has never been in short supply, but the doomdayers really had their day a couple of weeks ago, when the Pew Research Center confirmed what conventional wisdom has known now for decades.
We are in an age of post-Christendom — or, American adherents of Christianity continue to decline at a massive rate.
This is a case of statistics catching up with reality. For decades churches have been closing, Sunday Schools have been shrinking, and confirmation classes have been getting smaller. Especially among Catholics and mainline Protestants, the sky has been falling for many years. The right blames gay rights and liberal theology; the left blames hate speech and an overly doctrinal attitude.

Hi all,
I'm trying to utilise a wordpress module as the "help system" of my site, which is a custom-built CMS in php+mysql.
My intention is to install the wordpress under the directory /help and add page sets in the hierarchy
----Admin pages
----Active user pages
----Guest pages
I'm planning to make three users apart from the "wordpress Administrator". I need to consider the first user as Admin, who can view all these pages
The second user(Active user) can view both "Active user pages" and "Guest pages". Where as the third one can only read the last set of pages.
I know, I can make a plugin to "auto-login to wordpress", based on the session values in my existing system and I can control the roles of users by the "role management plugin"
Please let me know if there is something wrong with my above idea.
Now, how do I control the access rights to certain pages based on the user privileges? I don't want to make a page private or password protected, but the user with the right privilege should get the access rights for the desired pages, and the links to those pages should be on the sidebar.
Is it possible?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Cancer Health Center
Multiple CT Scans Raise Cancer Risk
March 31, 2009 -- As many as 7% of patients treated at a large U.S. hospital received enough radiation exposure from repeated CT scans to increase their cancer risk, according to a new study.
One in three patients included in the study from Harvard University's Brigham and Women's Hospital had undergone five or more CT examinations and one in 20 had more than 22 CT scans.
The findings confirm a modest but clinically significant increase in cancer risk associated with multiple CT scans, researchers say.
"We found that while most patients accrue small cumulative cancer risks, 7% of the patients in our study had enough recurrent CT imaging to raise their estimated cancer risk by 1% or more above baseline levels," says lead researcher Aaron Sodickson, MD, PhD.
Use of CTs Growing
Approximately 68 million CT exams were performed in the United States in 2007, up from 62 million the previous year.
Unlike conventional X-rays, CT -- short for computed tomography -- provides a detailed, three-dimensional image of internal organs, which helps physicians diagnose and track the spread of disease.
"We know that many patients have multiple scans," Sodickson says. "But we really haven't had good information on the individual patient's risk. That is what we tried to do in this study."
Thanks to an electronic database, the researchers were able to track the CT histories of more than 31,400 patients who had a CT scan in 2007 at Brigham and Women's Hospital or Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Center.
They found that:
- 5% of the patients in the study had received more than 22 CT scans, and 1% had received more than 38 examinations.
- 15% of the patients had received estimated cumulative radiation doses that were higher than the radiation exposure from 1,000 chest X-rays.
- 4% of patients had lifetime exposures equivalent to 2,500 conventional chest X-rays.
Using a cancer risk assessment model, the researchers found that 7.3% of the study participants had an elevated risk of cancer because of radiation from CT scans.
The risk was very small for most patients, totaling just 1% over the average lifetime risk of 42%.
But about 1% of the patients in the study had CT-related elevations in risk of between 2.7% and 12%.
"CT is an amazing diagnostic tool, and the last thing we would want to see is patients refusing needed scans because they are worried about cancer," Sodickson says. "But patients and their physicians also need to be aware that there are risks and those risks add up over time."

A few weeks ago, I got a chance to soak up God's beauty on a trip to Denver, Colorado. Ever since I was a kid, nature has spoke to me just how immense and great God is, and this trip reaffirmed that. It's amazing that our God, who created all of nature, still loves me and each one of us. What reminds you of God and how amazing he is?
We got to spend this tough time with some amazing artists, Rhett Walker and Moriah Peters.

As good as The West Wing was, Laurence O'Donnell is kind of a sanctimonious dick.
Still, the image of a flabby lieutenant governor of some unknown state fucking a prostitute is probably a good comparison to how the Democratic party machine operates...
Jeffrey Wells is still online? Why?
Jeffrey Wells is a boob.
An entertaining boob, and his feud with David Poland is a hoot, but he should NOT be read for his political analysis.
His movie analysis is frequently suspect as well...
I like Lawrence O'Donnell. I think it was him that did a really good interview with Dan on Air America about Ted Haggard's rehab. In it, he mocked the idea of someone being "100% heterosexual". That's pretty cool to hear from someone who appears regularly on the stodgy McGlaughlin Group.
Sooo- why talk about it, if you aren't going to post it? Lame.

The Bombers won their third consecutive game on Tuesday night, behind some stellar pitching and timely offense. Shipwreck Grill's Pirate Night at the ballpark featured a compass giveaway, and fans were treated not only to the sailing tool, but also to a great pitchers duel where the Bombers ultimately prevailed over the Victoria Generals by a score of 3-1.
Alec Mills was dominant on the mound for the Bombers, as he stymied a Generals' lineup through seven innings. Generals hitters only mustered 2 hits in 7 innings against the righty and struck out 10 times. Mills out-dueled right-handed pitcher Michael Oros of the Generals, who took the loss after allowing 3 runs (2 earned) to cross the plate in his 7+ innings pitched. Brad Porras and Christian Soberanes paved the way at the plate for the Bombers, each driving in a run. The team carried a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the 8th inning, where they were able to tack on an insurance run via error. The run wouldn't be necessary, as Garrett Shepperd made quick work of the Generals in his two innings pitched in relief of Mills, striking out four while earning his first save of the season.
The team travels to Coppell riding a wave of momentum as they head to their mid-week series against the Copperheads. The Bombers will return home to face the Alexandria Aces for their weekend series. Friday night is Auction Night at the ballpark, and will offer fans the chance to bid on game-worn jerseys from their favorite Bombers. Saturday's game will be Bark in the Park night, as well as the first Kids Free Saturday, where kids and dogs will get in FREE, and kids will enjoy free food and tickets for the UPA Kids Zone at Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark.

Celebrating Roma culture in Scotland on International Roma Day
By Louise Thornton
On 8 April, the Roma gypsy community in Scotland celebrate a day dedicated to their culture and way of life. Music and song is part of every day Roma life, with children learning to play a variety of instruments from as early as three years old.
Young Roma people from Govanhill in Glasgow travel to Castlemilk Youth Complex every week to play traditional Roma songs and to create rap music in their native Slovakian language. Amazingly, all the musicians are self-taught and don't restrict themselves to one instrument, moving from drums, to guitar, to keyboard.
Roma music performed by young people from Govanhill
George Akba from the Govanhill Youth Project and young Roma people give us an insight into how music is part of their culture from an early age.
Learn more about the music of the Roma.
Roma people, also known as Romani and often termed 'gypsies', are Europe's largest minority population. They are believed to have originated in Central India and have migrated to various parts of the world over the last 1000 years, with significant numbers settling in Spain, France and other parts of Eastern Europe. Many have come to Scotland to seek a better way of life, bringing their families with them.
International Roma Day
International Roma Day was declared in 1990 to commemorate the first major meeting of Roma representatives in London in 1971. At this meeting, the Roma flag was created and the national anthem 'Gelem Gelem' was adopted.
Celebrations in Govanhill
The community in Govanhill celebrated Roma Day in 2010 with a party, part organised by Govanhill Youth Project (GYP). Jamie Tracey, Project Co-ordinator for GYP says: "We booked a hall and they played music, dj-ed, and cooked all the food. We try to do something like that every year. They're pretty good at showing us that regardless of how hard life is, you can still enjoy it."

I loved this place and can't wait to get back. I was there for four days in middle April 2013 and it snowed everyday. Really in April? I was so happy. The runs are not steep but the trees are great and I like that it's not steep because I worked on form and the trees. Come on. The best. The Lodge itself is a magical place and must be respected in every way. I love they post signs in the hall ways from10PM and to 9AM that it is quiet time. So cool. So old school. So classy. Friendliest staff anywhere. The food was good. Too expensive and portions were not for a hungry skier. They want you to have every meal as a 5 course meal to get full. Sometimes you just want to chow down after a day on the slopes and forsake the pretense. Best New England Clam Chowder anywhere. Truly the best. It was a perfect clam chowder. They need a bigger beer selection especially for Oregon. Wasn't beer invented in Oregon? Loved my feather bed. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot I was in love and it was snowing. The Palmer lift may be an advanced steep racing run but it wasn't open when I was there. Teams practice here in the Summer. There are a few good places to eat and drink in Government Camp but no nightlife at the Lodge which is fine by me. I am going back as soon as possible.

Hey, I'm Renee!
Two years ago, I moved to San Francisco after a lifetime in NYC. I travel a lot and love staying in Airbnb's.

Renee was a great host. The apartment was just as described and the view was absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed the outside patio and the convenience of the location to great restaurants. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to San Francisco.
The location is phenomenal and the view is simply breathtaking. Renee could not have been more accomodating and kind. The only disappointment was that we could not stay longer!!!
I can think of so many adjectives that would describe Renee's place, but none even come close to painting a true picture. The view, deck, neighborhood and proximity to many great spots in the city were just a few of the highlights. Only wish it was mine!!
Renee's home was very nice. There are many things to do in the neighbourhood. She was a great host.
A comfy place in a mythic location with a jaw-dropping view. You climb to the top of Telegraph Hill, duck into a hidden alley, descend a steep staircase and emerge into an apartment carved into the side of the cliff. The deck overlooks the Bay, the piers, the city -- but everything seems close and immediate. We really didn't feel the need to leave. An iridescent pink hummingbird buzzed us; the famous parrots arrived in the afternoon and nibbled on a next door tree. But eventually we got out, walked down the Filbert steps and ate at the Ferry Building. Later we wandered in the other direction, to North Beach and Chinatown. The apartment is not luxurious but perfectly comfortable. The kitchen is small but modern and adequately equipped. The wooden floors were attractive and spotless. In Renee's absence, the two cats served as genial hosts -- one outgoing and affectionate, the other more reserved. We will certainly stay here the next time we are back in SF.
Amazing place, Close to everything. Great deck with cool city views. Highly recommended. The cats are cool too
We stayed for 2 weeks at Renee's and Justin's apartment during the winter holidays. The communication with Renee was very easy. It only took a few messages and a couple of emails to arrange everything. The apartment itself is great, with amazing bay view (I kind of enjoyed the 5 a.m. waking due to jet lag as I got to watch the sun rise over the bay several times). It's fully equipped with the TV being the only exception. The location is central, with lots of bus and metro routes around that take you around SF. It's on the top of the hill which might be a bit challenging at some point. Renting a car is not really helping. Parking is a nightmare. But you don't really need it anyway unless you want to take a road trip. I would recommend this apartment for an as-close-to-local-as-you-can-get experience!
Renee and Justin were great hosts and left us everything we needed to enjoy our stay at the apartment. The apartment itself is nice and bright with great views and a great balcony. Prepare to be climbing some hills if you don't have a car but everything you need is within walking distance. There are great restaurants in North Beach and you can take the stairs down to the Embarcadero. I would recommend this apartment to anyone!
Renee and Justin were wonderful to rent from - very communicative and nice! We loved the apartment - very clean and the views are outstanding! We also got a great workout by taking the stairs up Telegraph hill each day and we walked up to Coit tower which was fun too. They are in a great location - we walked everywhere from there but it's also easy to take the bus as well. We highly recommend this rental!!
Staying in Renee's apartment was a great experience. The structure was built in the 20's so comes with its share of quirks, but these only added to the overall experience. A few of my favorite features were the wraparound windows, incredibly comfortable couch and of course the large deck with views of the bay bridge. We saw a flock of parrots fly by on several occasions and had hummingbirds fly around the deck every day. The sunsets are quite a treat. The bedroom is quite comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. Laundry machines are available in her building. The living room is spacious and connects directly to a light filled dining space.
Reviews From Hosts
Easy to get in touch with. Apart from the key replacement, Renee was a pleasure to have stay at our home. Happy to have her anytime.
Renee was a great guest to have. She had a little trouble with the key during check in. She called and I was able to meet her in less the 10 min to let her in.
Renee was a great guest! I came home to a spotless apartment. She was communicative and left my place in great condition. I'd love to host her again!
Clean and good communication.
Renee's booking went through without a hitch because she is wonderfully responsive. She was also a great guest! Would definitely host her again anytime!
Renee and family were a well-oiled machine! They landed, hit the city and were gone in a flash. And left nothing behind but a nice note in our guestbook! The kind of travelers, let alone people, it is nice to know are in the world.
Renee was a fantastic guest. She and her family treated my home as if it were their own- I welcome them back any time!
Great guest. Clear communication during the booking process. I was out of town and didn't actually get to meet Renee, but my apartment was in the same condition as I left it. Bonus points for taking care of my cat!

We want to attend a celebration at this Villa June 22, 2013. We are looking at flights to either Florence (closer to Montespertoli) or Pisa (less expensive flight). We then have to find transport to the Villa; we do not have international driver licenses, so need to find either public or private transportation. Thanks for any ideas.

This cake is the best cake I have ever made and eaten! It is so moist, tasty and absolutely scrumptious!!!!! My sister requested it for her birthday and she wasnt dissapointed. Everybody who tried it loved it! I highly recommend you try it. I did substitute half the flour with wholemeal flour and the pecan nuts were a great addition. I look forward to making this cake again very soon.
This is a terrific cake - moist and full of flavor, even without the nuts. For the topping, I eliminate the milk, spread the topping over the cake hot from the oven, then BROIL the cake for just a few minutes to brown.
Although I have not made this cake, I often use an almost identical recipe which is fabulous. The only difference is I don't add the salt and I never use nuts. It is a wonderful moist sweet cake. I have made the topping here which works well. I also make a version with white sugar, another 2 Tbsp of milk and 2 cups cocunut. Beware that you will have a lot more mixture. For some reason, my topping only about 10 minutes of cooking.

We spent six nights at the Hotel Luna Convention, this historic old convent has been very sympathetically made into the most lovely hotel. The view from our room was stunning, looking out across the bay and down to the town of Amalfi. When I say room, we had a large bedroom with a huge en suite bathroom and a sitting room annex. The rooms had curved ceilings with beautiful frescos on them. The restaurant was excellent and provided a really good buffet breakfast and had a good dinner menu. We tended to eat our at night, as we enjoyed trying out the many interesting restaurants in and around the town. The Luna Convento also has a second restaurant across the road on the cliff top at which we had dinner a couple of times and this was also excellent. The hotel is situated perfectly for local walks and is a short bus ride from the hilltop town of Ravello which is magnificent and has many historic places to visit, one of the most interesting being The Villa Cimbrone, which has an interesting history and is breathtaking. It was a favourite place of Greta Garbot, who stayed there several times in the 1930's with her then-lover, the conductor Leopold Stokowski. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Luna Convento and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for excellent accomodation in an historic setting. We would certainly stay here again.

Last Modified: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
Frances Elizabeth Griner, 97, of Saluda died Wednesday, April 12, 2006, at Pardee Hospital.
She was born in Balm, Fla., to the late James Bethel Jackson and Frances Amelia Lynn Jackson. She was the wife of Harold A. Griner Sr., who died in September 1973. She was also preceded in death by a brother, a sister, three grandchildren and a daughter-in-law, Velma Ford Griner.

She was a kind, loving, free-spirited, strong-willed Christian lady, who loved the Lord and her family. Her love for everyone was unconditional. She traveled all over the country on a "Greyhound" and never met a stranger. She loved attention and gave the best hugs. She was our "guiding light" and will be missed by her family and many friends.
A service will be held at 8 p.m. Friday in the chapel of Forest Lawn Mortuary. The Rev. Curtis Pace will officiate. Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Saluda City Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 7 to 8 p.m Friday at the funeral home.

Just wondering if there is a way to have WordPress automatically size photos fit the content column width .
I notice that when I insert an image there is this code, for example
[caption id="attachment_33" align="alignnone" width="550" caption="Nearing Spring"]<img class="size-full wp-image-33 " title="p10202172" src="http://www.tomsemmes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/p10202172.jpg" alt="Nearing Spring" width="550" />[/caption]
seems that I could work with the style of "size-full" in the CSS sheet. Any ideas?
I tried using the style 'max-width' but it made every photo size to fit the column whereas I want some images to be smaller thumbnails.

You can download the data dump (produced monthly) at: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/

Patterns available as Ravelry Downloads
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Sometimes a young lady needs just a little something with posh and pizazz to cover her shoulders for a night "out on the town," a flower girl cover up, First Communion (in white) or possibly a daddy-daughter dance. This easy to knit shawlette takes slightly less than a skein of fine (#2) yarn. It is worked from the bottom up. The yarn selected i...
Knitting: Cardigan
I don't like knitting 'pieces' or 'parts' of sweaters. I like to be able to knit one article with minimum seaming, which is why I created this pattern. The back and front are knit (Garter St) in one piece and then the sleeves are cast on to the shoulders and knit to the cuffs. The hood is cast on around the neck and...
Knitting: Legwarmers
The boot cuffs/toppers are easy enough for a beginning knitter desiring to upgrade her/his skills or for experienced two-at-a-time sock knitters! A beginner can begin by using double pointed needles and knitting one cuff at a time; the advanced knitter will likely want to use a circular needle and knit both at once.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I love EASY! This shawl is just that. It has a little bit of repetitive, easy-to-memorize lace stitches at the base and then switches to stockinette stitches (knit one row, purl one row) to the top. Knitting short rows (after the initial shock of the cast-on) makes this project go super quickly. For the best draping results and even-looking, fla...
Knitting: Doll Clothes
This pretty little doll shawl will sparkle and shine and will make any little girl happy to add it to her doll's outerwear. It can be quickly knit for birthday or holiday gift-giving. It is designed to fit an 18 inch doll, such as American Girl.
Knitting: Dress, Brimmed Hat, Cloche Hat
Warm weather months call for cotton garments. These adorable sundresses and sunhats are perfect for busy little one-year old girls. They knit up incredibly quick using worsted weight yarn and are seamless other than the shoulder seams. The sundress slips easily over baby's head and has nothing that could be considered a choking hazard (on ...
Knitting: Ankle Sock
A wonderful toe up knitted sock pattern!! It uses a Turkish Cast-On and a gusset heel flap, which is smoother than a slipped-stitch heel and won't feel bulky in shoes. Soft and warm, you'll love wearing these out and about or to keep your feet warm indoors in cold weather. Hand knitting socks means never having those irritating seams...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a quick-knit project that can be created in just a few hours. It would be a great project for a knitting group. Some of the stitches included in the pattern are cable, twisted knit, and stockinette. It also includes the optional tasseled I-cord. It is created in the round and totally seamless.
Knitting: Pixie Hat, Socks - Other
Is leftover #3 light weight yarn just taking up space? What a great way to use up yarn stash! The little socks are knit from the toe up beginning with a Turkish Cast-On, and the tiny caps, to keep baby's body heat from escaping, are knit top down. Each is knit in the round, so there are no irritating seams to irritate baby's delicate skin. These...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This lovely shawl is knit from the bottom to top in one piece with all increases along the sides, so there is no visible seam at the center. The border is added after completing the body of the shawl. The pattern looks intricate but is actually quite easy and is a repeat of four rows with two of those rows being strictly knit stitches!
Knitting: Hats - Other
Warm, warm, warm! This hat uses doubled yarn and keeps body heat in, even during sub-zero temperatures.
Knitting: Scarf
This is a beginning knitter's pattern for a beautiful, but not typical, scarf. It is actually knit lengthwise and using bulky (#5) yarn makes it go super fast. Make it as the pattern calls for, or make it even wider or narrower and create more stripes or none at all.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This lovely shawl knits up quickly. The Red Heart Boutique Treasure yarn used is very soft, thick and warm and comes in beautiful flowing colors. Wear it as a wrap, cowl or shawl.
Knitting: Cowl, Fingerless Gloves
I wanted to design a "cowl" to be worn flat and close to the neck to show off the pretty pattern. The hand warmers came as an after thought but match the neck warmer.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
With a leaf-like texture on one side and plain on the palm side, these are attractive handwarmers for the cooler season ahead, yet they will keep a woman's hands warm while sitting at the outdoor stadium, toasting marshmallows or driving a car.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
These are quickly knit in a day or two and will be great for fall season when the air turns cool and crisp but not so cold that entire gloves or mittens are necessary. They will be great for sitting in stadiums at football games or around a campfire.
Knitting: Doll Clothes
Every young lady's precious American Girl doll or other 18 inch doll needs attractive outer wear in the cold weather. This 1920's style cloak and choice of two hats will look lovely on her!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a quick (2 hrs or less) and easy (knit & purl) hat for a beginning knitter with some experience. I chose to attempt a new cast-on (for me anyway) called the German Twisted Knit Cast-On, and I LOVE it!!! It is, however, optional; use whatever cast on you prefer. An excellent tutorial for the German Twisted Knit Cast-On is recommended ...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Designed and created for girls 3 and over, this adorable character hat is like a little rag doll with huge button eyes and crazy pigtails.

Knitting: Cloche Hat
This easy, easy, easy knit-in-the-round cloche is quite warm because it uses doubled yarn. It begins from the wide brim with the Garter Stitch and then changes to stockinette stitch through the crown.
Knitting: Doll Clothes
This is just a cute and easy to knit three-piece set for 18 inch dolls such as American Girl. I liked using sock yarn - tiny stitches for a tiny subject! I tried to match up the self-striping yarn as well as I could when creating the legwarmers.
Knitting: Beret, Tam
If you have any experience with knitting and already know how to knit in the round or want to learn, this is a great project to complete.
Knitting: Beret, Tam
This seamless beret is perfect for cool weather. Before proceeding, go through to highlight the directions for the size you are creating (just to avoid confusion)! Instructions are given for 0-9mo with the additional sizes in parentheses ( ). The American Girl Doll beret follows the 0-9mo size instructions using smaller needles. Use up leftover ...
Knitting: Hats - Other
This very stretchy ruffled sunhat is lightweight for crisp cool spring or autumn days and nights. It uses the Garter stitch throughout - first in rows for the body of the hat and then in rounds for the ruffle.

This is a cute cover up over a leotard for 18" dolls. The sweater is worked back and front in one piece and then the sleeves are added on the sides before the side seams are sewn together. The ribbing around it is worked last.
Knitting: Doll Clothes
This is an easy pattern - no fancy schmancy stitches - mainly knit and purl stockinette stitches.
Knitting: Doll Clothes
Cool weather requires cute cover-ups. What is more fitting than a poncho and beret to keep the chill off? The pattern requires some intermediate skills for the provisional tubular cast-on. The recommended yarn is Caron Simply Soft 100% acrylic and will take approximately 180 yds of the main color and maybe up to 25 yds for the flowers and trim o...
Knitting: Beret, Tam
This little tam/beret style hat is for springtime when something still needs to be worn to stay warm during those cool crisp days.The tubular cast-on creates a wonderfully finished edge that is extremely stretchy and will fit toddlers up to 5 year olds. The cast-on is a provisional one, making it slightly tricky unless you're an old hand a...
Knitting: Legwarmers, Fingerless Gloves
Perfect to wear to dance class or gymnastics on those colder
Knitting: Headband, Earwarmers
This is a great way to use up stash yarn taking over your craft space. I used worsted weight yarn, but "Simply Soft" tends to be closer to a DK. It is so soft to work with, and I tend to use it often!
Knitting: Earflap Hat
I was asked to make a White Sox hat first, so I designed a quick and easy way to knit one with gently curved earflaps that do not curl. I then decided to try to make a plain two colored hat with a pom-pom, a flowered baby girl hat without a pom-pom, and the crazy rockhopper penguin hat just because I love penguins.
Knitting: Brimmed Hat
I love retro and vintage and especially anything from the 1920s/flapper era. This reminds me of the bygone era's bucket hats. It can be worn wth the brim four different ways - completely down to cover the eyes, one side up, both sides up, rolled completely up!

Knitting: Cloche Hat
This adorable set was inspired by my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter who asked if I would knit her a pink hat. Then she wanted to know what else I could knit for her - her suggestion? Boots! I told her that wasn't possible, but I could knit her a scarf. She loved the idea and this is the set I came up with for both her and her younger sister.

Easy beginning knitter project for someone ready to go beyond scarves and dishcloths! I used 5 skeins of 100% acrylic Caron Simply Soft yarn in 5 colors. There is enough yarn for 3 jumpers comfortably. If yardage is preferred, there is approx. 50-60 yds of 4 colors and 100-120 yds of the 5th color.

A cute set for all seasons! Reminds me of a beloved doll and book character!

Knitting: Beret, Tam
This is an easy and portable project for a mostly seamless, knit-in-the-round adult (or teen) hat. Using Caron's Simply Soft 100% acrylic yarn (#4 med wt) makes it incredibly soft.

SAC Said to Open Quant Fund as Main Fund May Close to New Money
SAC Capital Management LLC, the $14 billion investment firm founded by Steve Cohen, is opening a fund specializing in quantitative trading, its first new fund in six years, according to two people familiar with the decision.
The hedge fund will be managed by SAC's 20 teams of so-called quant traders, who buy and sell stocks based on signals from computer models, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the Stamford, Connecticut-based firm is private. Current investors asked SAC to open the fund, which will launch in the third quarter, the people said. Quantitative investing makes up about 15 percent of the roughly $35 billion, including leverage, that the firm manages.
"Some investors want quantitative funds because they are very liquid and a good diversification from fundamental long-short equity," said Larry Chiarello, a partner at SkyView Investment Advisors LLC in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, which places money with hedge funds.
SAC, which has attracted about $1.5 billion into its main fund since mid-2010, told clients last week that it is considering closing that fund to new investments to ensure that returns remain high. Cohen, who has averaged gains of 30 percent a year, kept the fund closed for its first 13 years.
"You start with $23 million -- if you asked me if we were going to get to $100 million, I would have been surprised," Cohen, 54, said last week during an interview at SkyBridge Capital LLC's hedge-fund conference in Las Vegas.
Winding Down Fund
Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for SAC Capital, declined to comment.
SAC opened a multistrategy fund in 2005 that offered clients a range of strategies beyond equities, including fixed-income, private-equity and macro investments. In exchange for an initial three-year lock-up, investors were charged 3 percent of assets and 35 percent of gains, compared with 3 percent and 50 percent for the main fund. Cohen is winding down that fund after many of the strategies lost money in 2008, according to two people familiar with the decision.
The main fund climbed 8 percent this year through April, compared with a 5.7 percent increase for Bloomberg's Long/Short Equity hedge fund index.

Apple's iPad has seen faster acceptance in the main stream of electronic devices than anything else so to date, including regular DVD players made by a lot of companies. So much for the predictions iPad wouldn't sell -- as made by other well known tech company CEOs.
The problem for the competition is that as far advanced as the iPad is, we are half way through the development cycle for the next version. If the iPad takes the same virtual yearly model cycle we have seen with other major Apple products, sometime in the spring Apple will announce the next iPad with a lot of the features most in demand, such as cameras. FaceTime is likely to be a feature, as well as a mini USB port. The iPad has the potential to be a phone with the FaceTime feature using an earphone with mic arrangement.
I am of the opinion the Hobby App creator program is coming very soon from Apple. We know Google is in beta on an Android App Inventor program soon...| Read more »
