Mount Burnett Observatory Open Day – 23rd February 2016 – noon until late!
If you're around Melbourne, interested in astronomy and fancy visiting a community powered astronomical observatory that has a very active outreach and amateur astronomy focus then can I interest you in the Mount Burnett Observatory open day this Saturday (January 23rd) from noon onwards?
We're going to have all sorts of things going on – talks, telescopes, radio astronomy, tours of the observatory dome (originally built by Monash University), lots of enthusiastic volunteers!
We're fundraising to build a new accessible modern dome to complement the existing facilities so please come and help us out.
Let's Encrypt – getting your own (free) SSL certificates
For those who've not been paying attention the Let's Encrypt project entered public beta recently so that anyone could get their own SSL certificates. So I jumped right in with the simp_le client (as the standard client tries to configure Apache for you, and I didn't want that as my config is pretty custom) and used this tutorial as inspiration.
My server is running Debian Squeeze LTS (for long painful reasons that I won't go into here now) but the client installation was painless, I just patched out a warning about Python 2.6 no longer being supported in
venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cryptography/__init__.py. 🙂
It worked well until I got rate limited for creating more than 10 certificates in a day (yeah, I host a number of domains).
Very happy with the outcome, A+ would buy again.. 🙂
Git: Renaming/swapping "master" with a branch on Github
I was playing around with some code and after having got it working I thought I'd make just one more little quick easy change to finish it off and found that I was descending a spiral of additional complexity due to the environment in which it had to work. As this was going to be "easy" I'd been pushing the commits to master on Github (I'm the only one using this code) and of course a few reworks in I'd realised that this was never going to work out well and needed to be abandoned.
So, how to fix this? The ideal situation would be to just disappear all the commits after the last good one, but that's not really an option, so what I wanted was to create a branch from the last good point and then swap master and that branch over. Googling pointed me to some possibilities, including this "deprecated feedback" item from "githubtraining" which was a useful guide so I thought I should blog what worked for me in case it helps others.
git checkout -b good $LAST_GOOD_COMMIT # This creates a new branch from the last good commit
git branch -m master development # This renames the "master" branch to "development"
git branch -m good master # This renames the "good" branch to "master".
git push origin development # This pushes the "development" branch to Github
- In the Github web interface I went to my repos "Settings" on the right hand side (just above the "clone URL" part) and changed the default branch to "
git push origin :master # This deletes the "master" branch on Github
git push --all # This pushes our new master branch (and everything else) to Github
- In the Github web interface I went and changed my default branch back to "
…and that was it, not too bad!
You probably don't want to do this if anyone else is using this repo though. 😉
Thoughts on the white spots of Ceres
If you've been paying attention to the world of planetary exploration you'll have noticed the excitement about the unexpected white spots on the dwarf planet Ceres. Here's an image from May 29th that shows them well.
Having looked at a few images my theory is that impacts are exposing some much higher albedo material, which you can see here at the top of the rebound peak at the center of the crater, and that the impact has thrown some of this material up and that material has fallen back as Ceres has rotated slowly beneath it giving rise to the blobs to the side of the crater.
If my theory is right then if you know Ceres gravity and its rotational speed and the distance between the rebound peak and the other spots then you should be able to work out how far up the material was thrown up. That might tell you something about the size of the impact (depending on how much you know about the structure of Ceres itself).
As an analogy, here's an impact on Mars captured by the HiRise camera on MRO that shows an area of ice exposed by an impact.

UniFi systemd unit file for Ubuntu 15.04
At work we've started using some UniFi wireless gear and the system I've managed to commandeer to do the control system for it is running Kubuntu 15.04 which uses systemd. Now the UniFi Debian packages don't supply systemd unit files so I went hunting and found a blog post by Derek Horn about getting it running on CentOS7 so I nabbed his and adapted it for Ubuntu (which wasn't that hard).
The file lives in
/etc/systemd/system/unifi.service and was enabled with
systemctl enable unifi.service (from memory, there might have been another step that involved getting systemd to rescan unit files to pick up the new one, but I don't remember for sure).
Here is the unit file:

The True Meaning of Myki
Those around Victoria will be familiar with our public transport payment system called "Myki" which has had, shall we say, some teething troubles. It appears this was well known to the Vikings over 1,000 years ago as this list of Old Norse words that made it into English has:
muck – myki (cow dung)
So there you go, Myki is actually Old Norse for bullshit. 🙂

Mount Burnett Observatory Open Day and Third Birthday – Saturday 24th January 2015
As some of you know I'm involved with the Mount Burnett Observatory, a community run astronomical observatory in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria near Emerald to the south-east of Melbourne. Originally built by Monash University in the early 1970's it's 3 years since a small group of people formed a community association, took over the site and starting resurrecting it as an observatory by and for the people. It's now three years on and by the end of last year we were the second largest astronomical association in Victoria!
This Saturday (24th January) is our third birthday celebration so we're having an open day running from 1pm through to 6pm with tours, activities, a solar telescope and components from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), one of the precursor telescopes to the massive Square Kilometer Array telescope project!
At 6pm we have a barbecue and then at 7pm there will be a talk by Perry Vlahos on what there will be to see in the sky over the coming month. After that we'll be socialising and, if the weather behaves itself, viewing the stars through the many observatory telescopes.
ARM v8 (64-bit) developer boxes
Looks like things are moving along in the world of 64-bit ARM, systems aimed at early adopting developers are now around. For instance APM have their X-C1 Development Kit Plus which has 8 x 2.4GHz ARMv8 cores, 16GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 1x10gigE, 3x1gigE for ~US$2,500 (or a steep discount if you qualify as a developer). Oh, and it ships with Linux by default of course.
Found via a blog post by Steve McIntyre about bringing up Debian Jessie on ARMv8 (it'll be a release architecture for it) which has the interesting titbit that (before ARM had their Juno developer boxes):
Then Chen Baozi and the folks running the Tianhe-2 supercomputer project in Guangzhou, China contacted us to offer access to some arm64 hardware
So it looks like (I presume) NUDT are paying it some attention & building/acquiring their own ARMv8 systems.

I am currently in training for the NYC Marathon in November, and am about to try my first pair of New Balance 890's with REVlite shoes (PSYCHED!). I love new gear and encorporating new products into my training regimine so I'm curious what some of your favorite training gear is?? My new shoes should be here in a couple of days for their first test, my long weekend run where we will bond over 13 miles through Prospect Park in Brooklyn NY. I'll let you know how they feel, they only weigh 9.7 ounces (less than 1 Apple) so I should be flying through my runs!
I am a grad student and on a tight budget, but I have found a few things that I have to splurge on. Good socks (I love Asics), and good dry-fit clothing (esp in the Texas heat and humidity!).
Good shoes are a must, and I am looking forward to trying my NB 890's that just came today!
Ladies, what did you think of the shoes?! I've run in them twice now and I can't believe I like them so much. I say that simply because I swore I'd never wear another running shoe other than Mizuno. I'm pretty excited to have found something new that I really am performing well in! Cross your fingers that continues.
I have been running in the same shoes for over 4 years now, and tried out my 890's for the first time last night...WOW. I literally felt like my feet were so light, yet still really supported and cushioned. I also LOVE the way they look, the black and purple are SHARP! Gotta look good out there too!

Read an Excerpt
The Myth of the Eternal Child
The child Mozart was examined by several eminent observers, who authenticated his gifts and issued glowing scientific reports describing his prodigious talents. The English magistrate and scholar Daines Barrington visited nine-year-old Mozart in London and put him to several tests, offering his conclusions to the Royal Society in London, which published them in its Philosophical Transactions of 1770. After much initial skepticism, he confirmed that the child possessed what the music historian Charles Burney called "premature and almost supernatural talents.""Suppose then," suggested Barrington in attempting to describe Mozart's sight-reading abilities, "a capital speech in Shakespeare never seen before, and yet read by a child of eight years old, with all the pathetic energy of a Garrick. Let it be conceived likewise, that the same child is reading, with a glance of his eye, three different comments on this speech tending to its illustration; and that one comment is written in Greek, the second in Hebrew, and the third in Etruscan characters. . . . When all this is conceived, it will convey some idea of what this boy was capable of."In Paris, Friedrich Melchior von Grimm, a close associate of the Encyclopedists, exclaimed in amazement that the child was "such an extraordinary phenomenon that one is hard put to it to believe what one sees with one's eyes and hears with one's ears. . . . I am no longer surprised that Saint Paul should have lost his head after his strange vision."
A Swiss philosophe and educator, Auguste Tissot, who observed Mozart in Lausanne in 1766, set down his astonishment at the superiorityof Mozart's performances, at the "character of force which is the stamp of genius, that variety which proclaims the fire of imagination, and that charm which proves an assured taste." But the phenomenon of young Mozart, he avowed, transcended issues of genius or precocious virtuosity, rising instead from a harmonious union
. . . between moral man and physical man. A well-ordered mind appears to be made for a virtuous soul and sweet ways; experience has verified this in several great artists, and little Mozart supplies a new proof of it; his heart is as sensitive as his ear; he has modesty such as is rare at his age, and rare combined with such superiority; it is truly edifying to hear him attribute his talents to the giver of all things and to conclude from this, with a charming candor and an air of the most intimate conviction, that it would be unpardonable to pride himself on them.
Thus, beyond the miraculous surface, Mozart was held to be, in the words of Tissot's German translator, "not only a natural but a moral human being; a splendid object, in truth, worthy of study," and his parents were to be congratulated for knowing "so well how to unite and nurture in [him] the moral and the natural man." Leopold Mozart was regarded as God's surrogate in this matter, guiding the development of his son--and his daughter, Marianne, who had an important role in the early concerts--with a benevolent, scientific, and loving disposition. "One cannot see without emotion," wrote Tissot, "all the evidence of his tenderness for a father who seems most worthy of it, who has taken even greater care over the formation of his character than the cultivation of his talents, and who speaks of education with as much sagacity as of music; who thinks himself well rewarded by success, and regards it as sweet for him to see his two lovable children better rewarded by a glance of approval from him, which they seek with tender anxiety in his eyes, than by the plaudits of a whole audience."
Mozart was seen, then, as a superlative example of the child's unlimited potentiality for creative and moral development, which could be unlocked by enlightened upbringing. The most famous musical prodigy in history, he was marked from the outset as the quintessential, perfect child. In an extraordinary series of triumphs, he was received, feted, and honored by the royal families of Europe--the king and queen of France, the empress of Austria and her son Emperor Joseph, the king and queen of England--and Pope Clement XIV himself. Mozart and his family were showered with money and expensive presents. He was kissed by empresses and petted by Marie Antoinette. And all because he was a gifted child, one who not only could perform wonders and miracles but was the very incarnation of a miracle, one whose small body exemplified the infinite perfectibility of the child and, by inference, of mankind.
The early literature about the child Mozart inevitably drew on a variety of rich traditions about other child heroes. There are tales in the Herculean mode of his endless labors and feats: he was undaunted by blindfolds and by keyboards covered with cloths; he emerged victorious from strenuous musical contests; it was claimed as a miracle that he was able to write down Allegri's Miserere--the Church was said to have forbidden copying it--after a single hearing at the Vatican. Legends of the Christ child readily attached themselves to him. "We have seen him for an hour and a half on end withstand the assaults of musicians," wrote Grimm, echoing Luke's narrative of the twelve-year-old who was questioned by the elders in the temple, "and while they sweated blood and had the hardest struggle in the world to keep even with him, the child came out of the combat unfatigued."There is perhaps something of the youthful trickster in all this: While Mozart certainly had the capacity to write out the Miserere from memory, he may also have had prior access to a manuscript copy of Allegri's score;and he professed to read at sight compositions of unlimited difficulty but sometimes, without missing a beat, substituted different passage-work already in his repertory.Many people--perhaps most--doubted his age, suspecting deception and even sending to Salzburg for his baptismal records.In Naples, so they said, Mozart was accused of wearing a magical ring to aid his dexterous left hand. It was reported--perhaps apocryphally, for the story has the sound of legend--that the archbishop of Salzburg, not crediting his young subject's abilities as a composer, "shut him up for a week, during which he was not permitted to see any one, and was left only with music paper, and the words of an oratorio," for which he triumphantly produced the music at the close of his incarceration.
In a rare moment of self-revelation, Leopold Mozart let us glimpse the extent to which he himself identified the boy with the Christ child; he wrote to his friend Lorenz Hagenauer in 1768 that his son was "a miracle, which God has allowed to see the light in Salzburg. . . . And if it is ever to be my duty to convince the world of this miracle, it is so now, when people are ridiculing whatever is called a miracle and denying all miracles. . . . But because this miracle is too evident and consequently not to be denied, they want to suppress it. They refuse to let God have the honor." In the descriptions of Mozart there are hints, too, of Apollo and Hermes, of Dionysus and Ganymede. Primarily, however, he is seen as Eros, the divine child, the playful embodiment of love and beauty. And the preoccupations of Eros were his as well. "Who is this, that will not kiss me?" he is said to have asked imperiously when Madame de Pompadour rebuffed his embrace. "The empress kissed me." He had indeed animated the Austrian empress to kiss him by jumping on her lap, hugging her, and "saying that he loved her with all his heart."The Salzburg court trumpeter Johann Andreas Schachtner recalled, "He would often ask me ten times in one day if I loved him, and when I sometimes said no, just for fun, bright tears welled up in his eyes."
To be sure, from the first there were also hints that the perfect child--so small, delicate, prone to illness--was somehow doomed, and might not survive to adulthood. Writing to him in 1778, his father recalled, "Why, even your expression was so solemn that, observing the early efflorescence of your talent and your ever grave and thoughtful little face, many discerning people of different countries sadly doubted whether your life would be a long one."Grimm worried whether "so premature a fruit might fall before it has come to maturity."Daines Barrington hoped that Mozart might attain "to the same advanced years as Handel, contrary to the common observation that such ingenia praecocia are generally short lived."
Homer tells us that the child gods are timeless and unchanging: "They age not, they die not, they are eternal."In the course of time, however, Mozart's physical appearance began to diverge from the world's image of him. It was as though the grown Mozart was a quite different person, one descended from but not identical with a legendary child Mozart. The boy faded from view, replaced by a somewhat strange and awkward adolescent and adult. Fanciful imaginings about the young Mozart materialized and remained frozen in time while another Mozart grew older, suffered, and died. The maturing historical Mozart became the porcelain-child Mozart's double, and the divine child survived his own death. A sickly infant with a large head and a tiny body, a winning youngster with an arch smile and unshakable confidence, a little magician gifted with marvelous powers, performed wonders before the crowned heads and elite of Europe, while everywhere were heard predictions of his early doom.

Solomon's Mozart is mesmerizing. His daring psychological conclusions about the composer and his family are brilliant and are backed by a powerful force of insight. The analyses of the music helps to show that Mozart's art did have an evolution, and was not merely the product of a superhuman facility or 'divine' blessings. In this biography Solomon has even surpassed his own monumental accomplishment that was reached in his Beethoven.
Mozart's financials were now up now down, and this also reflects the vicissitudes attendant on the way this great musician genius was living.
Indeed Constanze was the inadvertent witness of his financial engagements and, being so keen on money, she brought about a gloomy catalogues of his Balance Sheet (so to speak) so that his heirs would not have greedy `appetite' after him.
Mozart's personal letters to his cousin (before he married Constanze) are full of frivolity, vivacity, and written in unorthodox language, in their contents, using `flagrant' terms and words befitting a merry teenager full of gaiety and high spirits. Mozart's soulful personality, for instance, didn't know the pressures of antagonisms from anyone, including Saliere and, notably, the nobility
Mozart always had a personal touch of sincere friendliness to clear away any lingering misunderstanding with the Royal court (The marriage of Figaro)
There have been awful lot of exaggerations in the movies and in the literatures written about Mozart, which made us wonder what was true vs. dramatized.
It is a documented fact, though, that Mozart (and his friend Haydn) found great personal diversion in the Masonic Lodges of Vienna.
Mozart's first complete musical contribution honouring the `Lodge' with Masonic themes and allegory was his `Die Zauberflote'- The magic Flute, music and libretto of devoted love and unique delight.
At the Lodge, some of the lectures also spoke of the meaning of `death'. Should it be feared? Should it be regarded `friendly' as the secession of all mundane excessive endurance to quietness, self-relief and freedom of the soul? Mozart composed the `Requiem' of music combining `happiness' and `acceptance' of the inevitable as `duty' and `obligation', not of fear.

2010: The Year We Make Contact
|No Rating
|Release Date:
|December 7, 1984
|Running time:
|116 minutes
|Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban, Keir Dullea
|Peter Hyams
|Peter Hyams
|Arthur C. Clarke
|MGM/UA Entertainment Company
Description: This belated sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is directed by Peter Hyams. Roy Scheider plays the astronaut/skipper of a U.S.-Soviet space mission, sent to find out what happened to the missing Discovery flight that carried Keir Dullea into the beyond in the original 2001. Scheider's polyglot crew includes Americans John Lithgow and Bob Balaban (the latter a computer whiz, responsible for the notorious HAL 9000) and Russians Helen Mirren, Elya Baskin and Natasha Schneider. The reason for this international mixture is that the world is on the brink of nuclear war, and it is hoped that the space mission will assure east-west solidarity (in this respect, 2010 dates far more than 2001, given the collapse of the Iron Curtain). When the astronauts catch up with Dullea, still in orbit around Jupiter, producer/director/writer Hyams attempts to demystify the enigmatic climax of 2001. Arthur C. Clarke, author of the story upon which 2001 was based, appears in 2010 as a man on a park bench. Incidentally, the voice-over credited to Olga Mallsnerd is actually Candice Bergen. (The name Mallsnerd is a play on the name of one of the characters created by her ventriloquist father Edgar.) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker in Blank Denim Patchwork Skinny in Bonner Pilot
Sarah Jessica Parker was snapped while making the school run with her two daughters. Sarah Jessica wore a pair of Blank Denim Patchwork skinny jeans in Bonner Pilot. This pair has a lot of different trends going on! I think that this is an interesting take on the patchwork trend by incorporating the leather-like patches and the patchwork creates almost a moto-style feel for the jeans.
I like how Sarah Jessica kept the rest of the outfit simple, which I think works best with this pair. I also think they'd look great with a leather jacket and a great pair of heels. You can buy these jeans online from Shopbop.com for $88.
Sarah Jessica Parker in 7 For All Mankind Josefina in Distressed Light
It looks like Sarah Jessica Parker is back making school runs. We usually see her out with her son, but this time she was spotted while taking her twin daughters to school.
Sarah Jessica wore her 7 For All Mankind Josefina jeans in Distressed Light with a blue sweater and black flats. This outfit is almost identical to the one she wore last time. While I think that Sarah Jessica has a great sense of style, I do wish that she would stop cuffing her jeans up to her knees and visit a tailor instead! You can buy 7 For All Mankind online from Shopbop.com.
Sarah Jessica Parker in MiH The Ellsworth Jeans in Black Sand
Sarah Jessica Parker and her family were pictured having fun at the Women's Final at the 2013 Tennis US Open in New York City.
Sarah wore a pair of MiH Ellsworth jeans in Black Sand for the day with an olive green t-shirt and black boots. The Ellsworth jeans are a high rise skinny leg which hit at the ankle, but of course on Sarah's petite frame, she cuffed them like she usually does. You can buy these jeans online at MiH for $233.

Sarah Jessica Parker in 7 For All Mankind Josephina in Distressed Light
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen picking up a dress before heading to Milk Studios for a show. I am sure we'll see photos of Sarah Jessica popping up at quite a few different shows.
Sarah Jessica wore her 7 For All Mankind Josephina boyfriend jeans in Distressed light with a simple long sleeve t shirt and sandals. I think that she definitely has her favorite styles and pairs because we often see her re-wearing her jeans over and over (like her Level 99 Sarah jeans). We saw her out in these jeans a couple of months ago too.

Siraitia grosvenorii, an herbaceous perennial vine, is native to Southern China and Northern Thailand. This species is well known for its fruit, which is commonly called "luo han guo" or "luo han kuo" in Chinese; "la han qua" in Vietnamese; or arhat, Buddha, or monk fruit in English. Phytochemical research has shown that the fruit of this species is rich in triterpene glycosides that are very sweet, low in calories, and may be used as a substitute for sugar. In addition, many compounds have been isolated from the vines and leaves of S. grosvenorii, including β-amyrin, aloe emodin, aloe-emodin acetate, 5α,8α-epidioxy-24(R)-methylcholesta-6,22-dien-3β-ol, p-hydroxyl benzyl acid, n-hexadecaoic acid, 12-methyltetradecanoic acid, β-sitosterol, and daucosterol. Moreover, a new flavandiol, siraitiflavandiol, has been obtained from ripe S. grosvenorii fruit, while 2 kaempferol glycosides have been isolated from the unripe fruit. Pharmacological results have also shown that S. grosvenorii extracts and purified mogrosides exhibit antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiallergic effects. Overall, S. grosvenorii could potentially serve as an important source of pharmaceutical and sweetener compounds for a wide range of food products.

Gooooooood Morning SuperForest!
This is my daughter, SuperForester Stellar Joy! She came into the world on a beautiful sunny Friday morning, and arrived with a full action set of ten fingers and ten toes.
It will be interesting to raise a child and apply all that I have learned through this wonderful site, and during the subsequent years I've spent studying permaculture. Melissa and I are going to make sure that she understands that she's here to save the world, that she is the very Universe, and that she has all sorts of cool powers. She should be an interesting kid.
I am very blessed to have as a partner one of the most capable, brilliant,
and gorgeous human beings who has ever walked the planet. I am humbled to be in a relationship with a woman so powerful and brave. Watching her bring our daughter into the world was… was… was…
Much love, SuperForesters. Thank you for being a part of my life.
Sometimes it surprises me that Josh Radnor isn't a member of Team SuperForest. After I saw HappyThankyouMorePlease I really felt like Josh really "got" the whole SuperForest ideology. I mean heck, he has Malin Ackerman's character say that the key to gratitude is simple, it's to "say thank you". Wowza! Total SuperForest Humanifesto action there.
Now Josh has a second film as Actor/Director — Liberal Arts. As a combined English Lit/Cinema Theory Major, I completely understand the idea of being "unemployable" in today's economic system, as is quoted in the film. Although I haven't yet seen the film, I wanted to comment on the honesty that seems to be in the script, simply based on the trailer.
Perhaps it's because I'm in the same stage of life, but the idea of looking at our aging selves is really quite interesting. Our society is so obsessed with staying young on the outside, and why is that? Why isn't it cool to have wrinkles and grey hair? The truth is, it IS cool. Grey hair and wrinkles show the passage of time. With time comes wisdom from success, failure, love, learning and life experience. As I get older I can't help but still feel like a 19 year old such as the character in Josh's recent film, but in reality, I am much older than that physically and chronologically.
I think it's important for us to be grateful for all of our days on this planet. Regardless of how old we are, how many lessons we've learned, how many crazy things we've experienced…we are who we are, and the dark and the light are both important pieces to our life puzzles.
Like Josh, as I also realize how much older I am than those who are currently in college (or as we Canadians refer to it, "university"), I am reminded to be grateful for all I have experienced since that time, and who I've become in the process.
And…more importantly, where I am still going, and who I am still becoming.
Yours in love with super-analytic, life-reflexive films,
SuperForester Heather
It is after
midnight, here in Poland and I am finishing my day with a smile on my face bearing in mind Gary Snyder's words:
" Nature is not a place to visit. It is home."
Ps. I adore spending time outside, walking barefoot , feeding my eyes
with the amazing world around.
The most beautiful feeling about nature is that it keeps making me speechless , filling me with awe :)
and I wish it never stops.

In the western world, there is often the misconception that today is the same day for everyone. But there are several other calendar systems other than the Gregorian one used in the western world, such as the Arabic calendar. The Arabic (or Islamic) calendar is known as the Hijri. It began on the date that Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina. People often find the need to convert Hijri date into a Gregorian one for a document they are producing. This can be a very complex process, since the structure and length of the years do not match well. Fortunately, there are several online sites you can visit to make the conversion.
Go to an online site that has a Arabic date converter, such as Islamic Finder, Fourmilab or The University of Zurich's Oriental Institute (see Resources).
Enter the month, day and year in the "Gregorian" or "English" section. Then click "Convert."
Highlight the resulting converted date. Select "Edit" from the menu and choose "Copy." Paste the date into your document and save your work.

Men Of The Revolution: 4. Charles Lee
April 1972 | Volume 23, Issue 3
Lee's capture effectively ended his career, and there is no saying what might have happened had that event not occurred. He had been chafing for months about his subordinate role, he had the bit in his teeth and was lining up allies for what appeared to be a final power struggle with Washington, and on the strength of their respective achievements to that moment, it is quite possible that the Virginian might have lost out. Had Lee instead of Washington received credit for the victories that came later, at a time when many Americans were seriously questioning Washington's military capabilities, it is not easy to say what the consequences might have been then, or after the war's end. For Lee was scornful of Washington's considered habit of deferring to Congress, he had no use whatever for the principle of military subservience to a civilian government, and in hindsight it maybe asked whether the removal of this power-hungry egocentric from the center stage may not have been the luckiest possible break for the country.

Seeds of the Japanese walnut, Juglans ailanthifolia, are usually scatter-hoarded by two rodent species, the Japanese squirrel Sciurus lis and the field mouse Apodemus speciosus, but only by the latter in several areas where S. lis is absent. We examined seed-size-mediated interactions of these three species across a wide geographic range. Field tracking of walnuts with miniature radio-transmitters revealed that squirrels hoarded larger seeds more frequently and at greater distances than smaller seeds. In contrast, mice hoarded smaller seeds more frequently and transported them farther than larger seeds. These seed dispersers could affect the evolution of seed size because seeds hoarded at sites farther from source trees are known to survive better until germination and as seedlings. We expect that larger seeds may be advantageous in regeneration if the main seed dispersers are squirrels, whereas smaller seeds may be advantageous if mice are the dominant dispersers. These predictions were supported by the fact that seed size was smaller on islands inhabited only by mice and at the edge of the squirrel distribution, compared to areas where mice and squirrels are both common.

I am new to cooking, but I've been able to do many of the recipes featured on eatingwell and manage to turn out a half decent meal. This required a lot of ingredients, a lot of time, and it turned out terrible. Of the 30-some meals I've tried on this site, this was by far the worst. Perhaps it was just me, but I would just say not to make it unless you're an experienced cooker.
Chicken Piccata with Pasta & Mushrooms
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Our chicken piccata, served over whole-wheat pasta, has a rich lemon-caper sauce that's made with extra-virgin olive oil and just a touch of butter for flavor. If you like, you can use a mild fish like tilapia or even shrimp instead of chicken breast.
83 Reviews for Chicken Piccata with Pasta & Mushrooms
I have cooked this twice both time omitting the capers (couldn't locate any at the store) and it was still great. I just love the lemony taste. This is a definitely a keeper. After you make it once, and if you have everything already prepped - it doesn't take a terribly long time
I've made this twice now and am still mixed on whether or not we love it or it's just "pretty good."
It takes longer to prep everything than the recipe says, over an hour at least. It does need a little more sauce than stated, but definitely not double the sauce.
The caper taste is pretty strong, so if you're not sure about those, I'd recommend adding a little bit at a time and doing a taste test. I made once with capers and once without. If I made this again with the capers, I'd only use half of what is stated in the recipe.
It does have a nice flavor combination and we did enjoy it. But, I just can't decide if it's worth all of the work.
I'm not the best cook, but this recipe turned out amazing! It was easy and absolutely delicious! Who knew eating well could taste so darn good! :)

ALBANY, N.Y. -- When Shaun O'Hara arrived for training camp, the New York Giants veteran center felt something was off.
O'Hara quickly realized for the first time in six training camps, Antonio Pierce was missing. Gone was that brash and cocky swagger that oozed out of Pierce daily.
"I texted Antonio the first day and said, 'Hey man, it feels weird to not have you here,'" O'Hara said. "That is one of the things that everybody misses on defense, his personality."
It's almost as if the Giants left East Rutherford forgetting to pack a cell phone charger or a toothbrush. Unfortunately, the Giants can't just go to the nearest Target to get what they need.
Replacing Pierce's voice on the defense will require somebody with experience, credentials and most importantly, talent.
The logical choice is Justin Tuck. The Giants star defensive end knows he is the man who must take the baton and become the defense's next leader, following in the stomping footsteps of Pierce and Michael Strahan.
In fact, Strahan, along with head coach Tom Coughlin, prodded the affable defensive end to step up and be more vocal and become that leader this season.
This may be Eli Manning's team, as the quarterback enters his prime, but he's always been the lead-by-example type. The identity of the Giants and the fiery side of their personality has always seemed to come from the defensive side, from Strahan to Pierce in recent years.
"I think everybody gets mixed up that a leader can only be on defense or offense but there is a leader for the team," Strahan said. "It is about who is going to step up and take the bulls by the horns and be the go-to guy that everybody can count on and the guy that when they have problems they can go to. You got to have that guy. I think they definitely miss that."
Osi Umenyiora has the Pro Bowl credentials but he might not even start as he battles Mathias Kiwanuka for his old job. Safety Antrel Rolle has the personality, and definitely the swagger, but is still fitting in on the team. Ditto for new middle linebacker Keith Bulluck.
Tuck, 27, has the résumé, having been to the Pro Bowl. He has risen to the occasion when the pressure has been at its most suffocating in the Giants' Super Bowl victory over the Patriots.
The 6-5 defensive end is the team's best defensive player and is entering his prime. Also, he already is established as the Giants' mouthpiece when it comes to the media -- something every team leader has to embrace -- and always is accountable whether times are good or bad.
Last season, Tuck felt he could not lead the team when Pierce went down because he was struggling with a shoulder injury.
"It was tough for me to step into that role because I wasn't playing up to that level," Tuck said. "It was hard for me to say, 'You all need to pick this up,' when I couldn't pick it up myself.'"
Tuck is healthy now and ready to embrace a role that might not come naturally to him. While Strahan and Pierce seemed like they were born to lead, Tuck acknowledges he will have to grow into that role. Tuck's personality is a bit more laid back and nicer than the Giants' last two defensive leaders.
But he's working at it. So far in camp, besides working on his swim moves and technique, Tuck has been studying his teammates to gauge the personalities of each guy so he knows how to motivate and handle each player.
"There are so many personalities on the defense, I got to be very diplomatic in certain situations," Tuck said. "You got to know how to push some guy's buttons without pushing them away. In this camp, I am not really talking a lot. I am kind of paying attention to what buttons need to be pushed. Once the season gets in and we kind of get into the game plan, I can kind of step forward and be more of a leader."
When the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2007, the defense had leaders in every meeting room -- from Strahan with the defensive ends to Pierce with the linebackers to Sam Madison with the defensive backs.
"The leadership here has been phenomenal ever since I got here," said Tuck, who is entering his sixth year. "It was easy for [Strahan] because [he had been to] seven Pro Bowls and he is going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer."
"He could've said the sky was green and guys would be like, 'I see the green.'"
If the Giants don't find a new heart and soul of the defense, they might feel like the sky is falling at times this season. It certainly felt that way last year when Pierce went down with a season-ending injury after nine games.
Tuck won't be stomping and shouting the way Strahan did but he will lead this defense in some form or fashion.
"It has to be natural," Tuck said. "When guys feel like you are just putting on a show just because you can, you lose a team very easily like that. I got to find my way and see what works for me and make it my own."

Posted on 01/05/2005 4:01:55 AM PST by Straight Vermonter
A burgeoning East Boston-based street gang made up of alleged rapists and machete-wielding robbers has been linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network, prompting Boston police to ``turn up the heat'' on its members, the Herald has learned.
MS-13, which stands for La Mara Salvatrucha, is an extremely violent organization with roots in El Salvador, and boasts more than 100 ``hardcore members'' in East Boston who are suspected of brutal machete attacks, rapes and home invasions. There are hundreds more MS-13 gangsters in towns along the North Shore, said Boston police Sgt. Detective Joseph Fiandaca, who has investigated the gang since it began tagging buildings in Maverick Square in 1995.
In recent months, intelligence officials in Washington have warned national law enforcement agencies that al-Qaeda terrorists have been spotted with members of MS-13 in El Salvador, prompting concerns the gang may be smuggling Islamic fundamentalist terrorists into the country. Law enforcement officials have long believed that MS-13 controls alien smuggling routes along Mexico. The warning is being taken seriously in East Boston, where Raed Hijazi, an al-Qaeda operative charged with training the suicide bombers in the attack on the USS Cole, lived and worked, prosecutors have charged.
Also, the commercial jets that hurtled into the World Trade Center towers in New York City were hijacked from Logan International Airport.
``The terrorist aspect, especially when you think in terms of 9/11 and how intent these terrorists are, will turn the heat up on our efforts with MS-13,'' Fiandaca said. MS-13 members congregate near the Maverick Square train station sporting white and blue bandannas, their skin inked with spider webs and ``laugh now, cry later'' clown faces.
``MS-13 is the most dangerous gang in the area,'' Fiandaca said. ``They are big. They are mobile. Now they have a terrorist connection.''
The theory that Salvadoran criminals manage to smuggle people over the border was bolstered this month when two Boston men described as MS-13 leaders were spotted on the North Shore days before Christmas - a year after they were deported by Boston Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators for gang-related crimes.
One of the two men, Elmer ``Tiger'' Tejada, 24, who had been deported after being convicted of a slew of crimes, including attempted murder charges for hurling a machete at Chelsea cops, was busted in Lynn on New Year's Day. Tejada is described as ``an original MS-13 member'' from East Boston, sources said.
A manhunt has been launched for the second fugitive, who is in the country illegally, Boston police said.
The growing number of MS-13 members, and the degree of violence the gang engages in, prompted investigators from 14 local and national agencies to form the North Shore Gang Intelligence task force in 2000, Fiandaca said.
Among the most notorious local crimes attributed to MS-13 was the gang rape of two deaf girls, one 14, the other 17, in a Somerville park in 2002. Three MS-13 gang members were charged in the brutal rapes, during which one victim was knocked from her wheelchair before the assault.
Eastie?? Is that a real world?
"In recent months, intelligence officials in Washington have warned"
"form the North Shore Gang Intelligence task force in 2000"
Sounds to me like they're about five years too late (as usual) on this "clamp down".
This is a another sterling example of why DIVERSITY needs to be posted on all of our school-room walls as one of America's Core Democratic Values.
Also one has to wonder how legitimate immigrants who have fled their native land because of just what these gangs are doing, feel when it is happening to them again in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
When I see pictures like the one above, I have conflicting emotions and feelings, ranging from nausea, to sadness, to all-consuming anger. What is becoming of our beloved country?
I sometimes saw these people hanging out at Revere Beach at night. Scared the bejeezus out of me.
I also had no idea about that Somerville attack. My lord.
Kill them
Man's Fingers Severed In Va. Machete Attack
Gang Suspected in Multiplex Incident
A Fairfax man walking from a Merrifield movie theater was attacked late Monday by several men -- one of them wielding a machete -- and in the flurry of blows, three fingers were severed from the victim's left hand, police said yesterday.
The attack was similar to one in the Alexandria area in May, in which a teenager lost four fingers in a machete onslaught. Police believe that the assailants in both cases were members of the street gang Mara Salvatrucha. Three men have pleaded guilty in the first case; the assailants in Monday night's attack remain at large.
You don't understand... ;) The Liberals BLAME America for these Salvadorian gangs. They say that they learned this lifestyle originally in the US and California. Therefore, it would be unfair for us to deport them.
What a bunch of sick animals. If Abortion Protesters fall under Rico for demonstrating.....why are these vicious criminals allowed to run free.
They don't turn up the heat unless it's something they can get Homeland Security funding to go after. "Hey, we got a bunch of AlQ shoplifting cells!"
This is frigging wild. How things have changed for the worst. When I lived there a 'made man' could double, even triple park his car and never get a tagged with a ticket from the cops. It was area which was tight, most people knew each other. This crap would not be tolerated.
They might have gotten some of the tattoos and trappings of gangsterism from the West Coast (or from MTV), but gangs have long been a problem in Latin America, where there is a weak and corrupt police presence and the gangs have been able to control entire towns unopposed.
It might happen pretty soon.
I don't think we have to wait for Mexicans. We have plenty of domestic thugs who are converting to Islam in our prisons, and some of them have indeed gone out and set up shop for AQ when they get out (think of the al Fuqra movement, a black group that has terrorist training camps all over the country, or the terrorists arrested in Seattle and Portland in recent years).
Gang activity makes losers feel powerful. This is the same effect that Islam has on its devotees, because being given permission by their religion to be vicious and have no restraint makes them feel superior to the law-abiding, civilized (and in their view, weak) society around them.
Heyman, wakeup the liberals are in control of our borders. You dont wont to discriminate against anyone would you. They are just here to do work that our lazy citizens dont wont to do.
Exactly. End of problem.
Recall Logan Airport? September 11th, 2001? I know for a fact, there were warnings and Massport did not do a damm thing in the mid-1990's, so this insanity is not at all suprising.
Very well said, Livius. "Gangs make Losers feel powerful" should be on a poster in inner cities.
The other guy had it right on target. The City of Boston's left-wing extremists would rather allow the another nightmare to manifest, then work with the President to prevent Boston from used again, as an Islamic death cult staging area.
It's not that everyone in Boston is among the far left, but the radicals have wormed their way in utilizing very calculated methods gaining a strong political power base.
Money talks and that element controls a bundle of it through 501C-3's, foundations and other scams to rake in federal, state & city funds to further their 'causes'.
One of the paramount issues should be focusing on is the city's security, and the welfare of the public. Since the majority of the Left is somehow interconnected with non-profits they forget the tax payers of Boston have to foot the bills for all the foolishness the city has to deal with caused by them.
It looks like 9-11 did not wake some people up to the clear and ever present danger all of us are confronted with from insane jihadists more than willing to themselves up, as long a innocent victims are butchered as well.
Why are'nt these pig's asses in jail???
Oh *sniff* but they're just pooooor *sniff* immigrants who came here to work *sob*. I hope they catch 'em and have a little accidental dumping of the creeps into the ocean.
YEP, ILLEGAL ALIENS... I thought so. And Kerry wanted amnesty for all illegals. If 9/11 didn't wake up New York enough to reject the full amnesty plan by Kerry, then seriously, does anyone think there would be liberal support for deporting illegals?? Hell no. Libs think when they are in charge they will be able to outmaneuver any fanatical gang be they Islamofascist nutbombs, or Mexican/El Salvadorian machete swingers... but they are mistaken. The elites are protected and really, admit it, that's all that counts. The little peons in this country have ZERO rights to expect equal protection.
Thanks King Bush for dictating your open border policy on middle class America. Obviously the elites like Bush are above having someone rape or murder a family member they are protected from such crime and always have been. The rest of America is forced to deal with criminals, higer taxes, failing and overcrowded schools and ERs that are packed with people recieving free health care while taxpaying law abiding citizens go further in debt.
When I look at that picture of this gang banger all I can think of is that the barbarians have already breached the wall. But then, I realize, there is no wall being manned by our soldiers and/or police. (I live in Arizona...trust me, there's nothing down on the border keeping out the hoards.)
I have been actually amazed that 9-11 has failed to wake people up, including our so-called leaders.
Thank you Jet.
That was my reaction exactly.
Can you spell deport? Any questions?
It is scary how close you guys are to being Marxists.
they are just doing the jobs americans won't do
Yes, so is Southie, and Westie

More than one million people fled from El Salvador civil war in the 80s and 90s. The Salvadorian refugees and immigrants initially settled California and Washington, D.C.. Some had ties with La Mara, a violent street gang from El Salvador. Others had been members of the Marxist paramilitary group Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMNL) during the war. FMNL was made up of Salvadorian peasants who were trained as Marxist guerilla fighters. Many were adept at using explosives, firearms, and booby traps.
Most settled in the established Hispanic neighborhoods of the "Rampart" area of Los Angeles. In the late 1980s, members of La Mara and FMNL formed what is now known as the Mara Salvatrucha (MS) street gang in Los Angeles. MS quickly developed a reputation for being organized and extremely violent. MS membership continues to be fed by refugees from groups like FMNL.
Further reading:
Bush 2004 campaign supporter Hector "El Loco" Hernandez displays a "W" sign outside local GOP headquarters. Hernandez says he supports the President for signing muliple extensions of "Temporary Protected Status" amnesties for Central American illegal immigrants. "Thanks to Boosh - I got it made", remarked Hernandez, "I can stay forever! I 'specially like too how he fight so I can keep my matricular card and driver's license"
Hmm your from Canada? Ha ha what a joke you live in a Marxist and socialist country. Just because your used to having your freedoms taken away doesnt mean that the rest of the world should follow your lead. Just curious what is your interpretation of Marxism? I think this will be pretty funny.
Thatr's right....Boston is basically an "Illegal Infiltrator-Safe Zone"...
Because these El Salvadoran/Al Qaeda gangs are "only doing the work Americnas won't do"!
Hmmmm...Why do you think that they are getting away with that, could it be due to the fact that Boston/MA makes it extremely difficult to own a firearm/defend yourself? That couldn't be it, could it?
This image had some graffiti on it, but I'll clean that up later. I have a few more if you are interested.

We've stayed for three nights and everything was well. Good bed, clean towel and shampoo included.
The state of the app is technically mediocre but perfect for students like us and clean enough to not worry about anything. Good kitchen.
Half an hour to anywhere in the centre of London. The quater seems like you shouldnt walk alone there as a women but for the prize we can't complain!
My Family was coming to visit me in London. I was worried about finding them a place, which is near my house and on reasonable price. Then I have found Wimdu and Marcos`s property. I was amazed
Bethnal Green is not a pleasant neighbourhood and i wish i had known this before. It's a very important fact to know because it effected deeply on our stay!
Plus, the building is very hard to find and i would have never found it without Google Maps and then help from Marcos.
Other than that, our room was fine- clean and warm, as well as the shower and toilet.
The room has got it's own fridge with freezer, WiFi works great, nice TV, clean, host is very helpful, the shared kitchen is very nice, the shared bathroom has got a bath and a shower. If you walk the 5/10 min walk to the tube, you'll come across few supermarkets. Host Marcos is very friendly/helpful!
Our room got moved to another near Aldgate pretty last minute but everything turned out perfectly. Marcos is super friendly and our room was nice and cozy even though we only stayed for just one night. Staying at another one of his rooms again in a few days!
This place was great, clean, warm and cozy. Regular cleaning service, lots of good gadgets in the kitchen and good shower! Marcos is so friendly and helpful, even getting on his bike to let me in when I locked myself out! Highly recommened for short and long stays.
A Great Trip to London in a great Appartment. You can call Marcos, a friendly guy, everytime and he helps you. The rooms are clean, but not absolutly. TV in the room with cable Tv, I think, worked fine. Bed was fine too. I got 2 towels and the bedding was clean. The only problem was the freezer in the room - so turn it off in the night and everything is allright.
This room is 5 minutes far from the tube and it is convenient for 2 people. There were other 3 people, but they were very descrete. The bathroom is a bit old and there was no light in the toilet (a problem during the night).
Marcos is very kind and helpful. For few days, it is perfect.
Fuimos del 4 al 9 de febrero y Marcos nos atendió muy bien. La habitación está muy bien. Hay que darse cuenta que Londres no es una ciudad donde se va a pasar horas en el alojamiento, sino que es un sitio a visitar. Tanto el anfitrión como el alojamiento han sido geniales. La casa esta cerca del metro, del tren y de varios autobuses. Lo recomiendo.
La habitación donde nos hospedamos era una habitación normal sin nada espectacular pero tanto la habitación como el baño o la cocina estaba limpio y bien atendido, Además lo que mas me gusto que era una zona tranquila y que a la vez estabas pegado a varias lineas de autobús y de metro. Es ideal para alguien que solo va a descansar por la noche y le interesa pasar el día por ahí conociendo londres.

Brow threading may be the raison d'être of the aestheticians at Eyebrow Expressions, but the team also ably branches out to de-fuzzing other parts of the body, including services for legs, face, and intimate areas. Inside the salon, which is located within Meijer, the aestheticians can also remove hair with threading, an ancient Indian technique that uses a long, wound cotton thread to zip hair away in precise lines without irritating the skin. Because the process is so gentle, the team can thread lips, chins, necks, and delicate vestigial wings.
