We are what we think; as we desire so do we become! By our thoughts, desires, and habits, we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature, or we descend to suffer and learn.

Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love.
John Milton (1608 - 1674)
Source: Paradise Lost. Book viii. Line 488.
The great men among the ancients understood very well how to reconcile manual labour with affairs of state, and thought it no lessening to their dignity to make the one the recreation to the other. That indeed which seems most generally to have employed and diverted their spare hours, was agriculture. Gideon among the Jews was taken from threshing, as well as Cincinnatus amongst the Romans from the plough, to command the armies of their countries . . . and, as I remember, Cyrus thought gardening so little beneath the dignity and grandeur of a throne, that he showed Xenophon a large field of fruit trees all of his own planting . . . Delving, planting, inoculating, or any the like profitable employments would be no less a diversion than any of the idle sports in fashion, if men could be brought to delight in them.
John Locke (1632 - 1704)

Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature: to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.
John Calvin (1509 - 1564)

Let the pulpit resound with the doctrines and sentiments of religious liberty. Let us hear the dangers of thralldom to our consciences from ignorance, extreme poverty, and dependence; in short, from civil and political slavery. Let us see delineated before us the true map of man. Let us hear the dignity of his nature, and the noble rank he holds among the works of God-that consenting to slavery is a sacrilegious breach of trust, as offensive in the sight of God as it is derogatory from our own honor or interest or happiness-and that God Almighty has promulgated from heaven liberty, peace, and goodwill to man!

Humanity may endure the loss of everything; all its possessions may be turned away without infringing its true dignity-all but the possibility of improvement.
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762 - 1814)
Mathematical economics is old enough to be respectable, but not all economists respect it. It has powerful supporters and impressive testimonials, yet many capable economists deny that mathematics, except as a shorthand or expository device, can be applied to economic reasoning. There have even been rumors that mathematics is used in economics (and in other social sciences) either for the deliberate purpose of mystification or to confer dignity upon common places as French was once used in diplomatic communications.

They talk of the dignity of work. Bosh. The dignity is in leisure.
Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)
If America is to be run by the people, it is the people who must think. And we do not need to put on sackcloth and ashes to think. Nor should our minds work like a sundial which records only sunshine. Our thinking must square against some lessons of history, some principles of government and morals, if we would preserve the rights and dignity of men to which this nation is dedicated.

Masters winner Charl Schwartzel will join world number three Luke Donald in the field for next month's Malaysian Open, organisers said on Monday.
Harrington, up to 47th in the rankings after finishing tied-ninth at the Phoenix Open on Sunday, last appeared in Malaysia in 2006 and ended a two-year victory drought in October at the elite four-man Grand Slam of Golf event in Bermuda.
South African Schwartzel, who played two years ago following his greatest triumph at Augusta, said it was an event not to be missed.
"It's one of my favourite events of the year and I love Asia - the food, people, culture and golf courses," the world number 18 said on the European Tour website (www.europeantour.com).
Matteo Manassero of Italy has also confirmed his participation in the March 21-24 tournament he won in 2011.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - When I left Miami for New England last February, I had two major concerns. What am I going to do when it snows and where am I going to find good tennis? I still haven't figured out the winter weather, but I got my tennis answer at Elizabeth Park, where 800 varieties of roses have long outshined nine dusty hard courts.
My hitting partner on that June 2008 day was taller, stronger and better than me. She was also half my age. I couldn't believe my ears when Dayna Lord told me she was 12 years old. I couldn't believe my eyes when after 30 minutes of baseline bashing, I sported a sweat-soaked shirt while hers appeared as if it had just been dry-cleaned.
And that was just the warm-up.
As our set began, I was on the receiving end of faster serves and cleaner strokes than I'd ever encountered in four years of college club tennis at Florida International. I mustered just enough energy to run down enough of Dayna's devastating shots to drop the set 6-4. When I walked over to Gordon to praise my opponent, he introduced me to Melissa and Matthew Lord, Dayna's younger siblings, as if to say, "There's more where that came from."
Playing against an older, more experienced opponent isn't out of the ordinary for the Lords. Ten-year-old Matthew is No. 18 in USTA New England's Boys' 12 singles rankings. Melissa, 12, is No. 3 in the Girls' 14s. Dayna, who turned 14 over the summer, is No. 1 in the Girls' 16s.
But playing in a section that hosts just two of the USTA's 175 national junior tournaments, the Lords aren't a household name in America. Gordon likes it that way.

Hello all,
I created Tax Codes for Sales & Purchase with the following setting:
Acct Key= VST (Input Tax), Condition Type MWVS Tax %= 16%
At the time of Invoice Posting (FB60), I check the "calculate Tax" flag and select the correct tax code. The amount entered is the Amount charged by the Vendor, not inclusive of the 16% VAT. Example: $100
The system posts:
Dr Expense.......84 USD
Dr VAT A/C......16 USD
Cr. Vendor.......100USD.
This is not what is supposed to happen. System is supposed to calculate Tax on the amount ($100) and post $116 to the Vendor. So this is what the entry should be:
Dr. Expense....100 USD
Dr. VAT A/c-....16 USD
Cr. Vendor......116 USD
I am not sure where what the problem is. I checked the Condition Type (MWVS) settings.The condition category is "D" (Tax).
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you much.
You have to enter $116 in the amount field in the document header and $100 in the GL(Expense) line.
If that doesn't work click the "editing options" push button. Ensure the " Calculate taxes on net amount" is checked.
Thank you so much for your input.
I was wondering if there is anyway we can have Invoice posting exclusive of VAT?
As in the user enter the Invoice amount exclusive of Tax? As in the user only enters $100 and the system automatically calculates VAT on that (example: $16) and books $116 for the Vendor Payable.
I did the "edit option" and it actually requires me to still enter $116 in Vendor amount, and $100 on Expense line item.
You need to enter 116 only for the vendor line item, as this is what you need to pay to the vendor (i.e. inclusive tax).
System calculates the tax of 16% on the exense line item of 100
So that the entry goes as:-
Cr Vendor 116
Dr. VAT A/C 16
Dr. Expense A/c 100
Also note that changes in FB00 allies to that user only. If you want to make the calculation changes for all users, then you need to activate the checkbox "Tax Base is Net Value" for your company code in transaction OBY6.
Once you have selected the "Calculate tax on net amount" in respective user master record...
Enter the expense GL Account in FB60 item and also select the Calculate Tax box then system will show you the Amount in the right top which must be entered manually in the Amount field in the header which will be accounted to Vendor...amount field can not be derived automatically...
Chintan Joshi
Thank you.
Also, at the time of payment posting, the VAT is inclusive in the Vendor Payment. SO currently this is the entry for payment (VAT WHT =10.67% of Base amount)
Vendor......Dr 116.00
Cash..........Cr. 105.33
VAT WTH..Cr 10.67
Is there anyway we can actually split the net amt and the VAT for payment posting so it shows up like this:
Vendor... Dr 100.00
VAT/ac... Dr 16.00
Cash....... Cr 105.33
VAT WHT..Cr 10.67
Thank you in advance for your input.
Vendor line is inclusive of tax as you have to pay vendor the total amount including VAT. This is the amount also mentioned in invoice from vendor.
It is the liability of vendor to ay to government the taxes.
Suppose if you post to VAT account, then how will system clear it off?
Hi ,
Go to the transaction OBCN and select your accounting key VST and activate " Non Deductible tax " and check your posting..
Let me know if it solves your problem...
With Regards
When i check the "Non deductible Tax" for VST, I srill have to enter the total amount inclusive of the VAT in the Vendor Amount and the net amount (non-inclusive of VAT) in the expense line item. This is the same as "Editing option- calculate tax on net amount". The user will still have to enter the Invoice amount inclusive of VAT for the Vendor. Its only in the line item that they can enter the VAT non-inclusive amount.
Is there a way at all, in SAP, that we can enter Vendor invoice amount -non-inclusive of VAT, and the system just calculates the tax based on the code and derives the total amount owed to the Vendor? As in if the amount in Vendor invoice is $100 (not inclusive of VAT), then is it possible to enter $100 in the Vendor amount as well as expense line items and the system posts $116 owed to the Vendor based on the tax code?
Also at the time of payment, what is the need to/idea behind splitting Vendor amount and VAT? Shouldn't the payment posting be Vendor Dr.... Full amount (inclusive of Tax)? The requirement is to post Vendor and VAT separately.
WE have opted to go with the standard posting. The payment posting will show the full amount booked to the Vendor and won't split Net amount and VAT into two separate lines.

Now available on DVD - The Washboard Wizardz
(along with that master of the banjo strings - Kurt Abell). This
video not only captures their music but their stage show humor that
is in the style of the
Hoosier Hot Shots. Some people even call what they do "Hillbilly Jazz."
Some of the humor portrayed by the Wizardz can only be appreciated
by watching them perform live. If you are not able to do this then
the DVD is the second best choice.

Banjo On Stage!
Lee Floyd III describes Ken Aoki as one of the best banjo players
around today. He has been a popular entertainer in Japan and has
released his first solo CD. The album has 19 tracks with a variety
of styles of music. He adds a little charm when he plays Zippity
Do-Dah with his Southern Medley. You will also find show stopper
tunes like Flight of the Bumble Bee and Ken plays Foggy
Mountain Breakdown with a flat pick that sounds just like a
five-string banjo. The diversity of music on this album is amazing.
You find Charlie Christian's Air Mail Special and Chic
Corea's Spain. Other composer that you will hear are:
Gershwin, Ellington , Bach, Souza, Reser and Foster. Ken doesn't
speak English so all of the liner notes in in Japanese but the the
titles are in English.

National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame Museum Seeks to Acquire 200 High Grade American Made Banjos
Dear Banjo Friend:
As you may already be aware, for almost two years our Museum has been endeavoring to return a substantial piece of our unique musical heritage to America via the acquisition of a collection of nearly 200 high-grade American made jazz age banjos which currently reside in a private collection in Germany. I am pleased to report that what seemed like an almost impossible dream is becoming a reality.
As the result of financial commitments from Museum benefactors and donors as well as Oklahoma based sources of arts and cultural funding, we are now more than 90% of our way to raising the nearly one million dollar purchase price. As we move forward with this important acquisition, we are appealing to like minded individuals and organizations within the banjo community to help us reach our goal.
Your tax-deductible financial support of this project in any amount will be sincerely appreciated and will be permanently acknowledged on a placard in the Museum.
If you wish to contribute at higher levels, your name will be permanently acknowledged as the sponsor of a particular instrument within the Museum's collection. To encourage sponsorships at the $1000+ levels, instruments assigned to a particular donation will have estimated value in excess of the donation level. For example, a donation of $1,000 may see your named assigned to a B&D Montana Silver Bell #1 (which has a current value of $1,800). With almost 200 instruments in the new acquisition - having values ranging from $800 to over $25,000, an appropriate acknowledgement of your desired level of giving is assured.
In addition to owning our building, the museum currently has in excess of $2 million in operational endowments. With a planned 6000 square foot expansion opening in 2009, we are both financially stable and physically poised to welcome the return of these historically significant musical treasures to their rightful home. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a specific contribution, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank your for your consideration.

Regenerative Inflammation: Lessons from Drosophila Intestinal Epithelium in Health and Disease

AbstractIntestinal inflammation is widely recognized as a pivotal player in health and disease. Defined cytologically as the infiltration of leukocytes in the lamina propria layer of the intestine, it can damage the epithelium and, on a chronic basis, induce inflammatory bowel disease and potentially cancer. The current view thus dictates that blood cell infiltration is the instigator of intestinal inflammation and tumor-promoting inflammation. This is based partially on work in humans and mice showing that intestinal damage during microbially mediated inflammation activates phagocytic cells and lymphocytes that secrete inflammatory signals promoting tissue damage and tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, extensive parallel work in the Drosophila midgut shows that intestinal epithelium damage induces inflammatory signals and growth factors acting mainly in a paracrine manner to induce intestinal stem cell proliferation and tumor formation when genetically predisposed. This is accomplished without any apparent need to involve Drosophila hemocytes. Therefore, recent work on Drosophila host defense to infection by expanding its main focus on systemic immunity signaling pathways to include the study of organ homeostasis in health and disease shapes a new notion that epithelially emanating cytokines and growth factors can directly act on the intestinal stem cell niche to promote "regenerative inflammation" and potentially cancer.

Sighting Details
I live in a very rural, mountainous, forested area of north central Pennsylvania. There were thunderstorms in the area but not directly overhead during the early evening. As dusk approached I noticed a very white cloud formation to the southeast which did not appear to be very far from my home. The formation was very thick and very white and remained stationary. It was so unique that a friend and I drove my four wheeler to the top of the field for a better look. As we were driving up through the field we noticed lightning occurring inside the cloud. When the lightning arcs were on our side of the cloud they we very clear. When the arcs were on the other side of the cloud they were more obscured. We stopped at the top of the hill and watched the cloud for approximately 45 minutes. The lightning kept occurring approximately every 2-4 minutes but did not make any noise like normal lightning. It was difficult to determine how far away the cloud was. It appeared to be quite close but was probably a mile or so away. The top of the cloud was probably up to approximately 45 degrees above the horizon and I could not see where the bottom terminated. It was probably wide enough to cover approximately 30 horizontal degrees. Most of the sky was clear and blue except for that cloud which did not move. As is became darker we could see stars and airplanes in the sky. Other than the cloud everything else was normal. At one point we noticed what looked like a star to the left (southeast) of the cloud. It was approximately 30 degrees above the horizon. The "apparent" star was in fact moving in a westerly direction. At first I though it was a satellite or perhaps a plane but there were no other lights. It simply appeared to be a normal star. It began to move up and down then forward and backward. It continued this random pattern and slowly continued moving toward the cloud. It entered the cloud and remained inside the cloud for approximately 4-5 minutes, continuing to move around in the same random pattern. Lightning was occurring inside the cloud while the object was there. The lightning strikes did not appear as though they struck the object. The object then continued moving again in a westerly direction and exited the cloud. After a couple of minutes the object, which was continuing to move in random patterns, began to move back toward the cloud. After another minute or so it again reversed direction back to a westerly direction. During the event we kept asking what can it be. There were also airplanes in the sky so we were clearly able to look at a plane in comparison to the object. As the object continued it rose slightly higher on the horizon and when it reached a point approximately 60-70 horizontal degrees (now in the sw sky) it became obscured by more clouds or haze. This is really weird and probably not connected but at about the time the the object was leaving our view a meteor flashed across the sky in the same area. WOW!!! What a night. This was one event that I will never forget. While watching I had some concerns regarding abduction but it never came close or caused any other alarm. After we lost sight we continued to look for it for about another half hour but it did not come back. By this time it was dark and the white cloud was not visible until the internal lightning flashed and clearly laminated the cloud. At this point the cloud had been there flashing for approximately 1 1/2 hours. We returned to my house where I immediately took out a tablet and wrote down the details of this experience. I did a tour in the US Army as an MP and was around various types of aircraft and there is no way any sort of conventional aircraft could maneuver the way that this object did. At times the movement reminded me of perhaps a butterfly or maybe the old Pac Man game. I looked up St Elmo's Fire and ball lightning and I don't think they were the cause. I realize this pales in comparison to some the reports you receive but this made an indelible impression on both of us and I hope perhaps it can further your investigative research.

A subsidised rent is paid on the remaining share. You can buy more shares when you're ready, usually until you own 100% of your property.
These are homes which have already been purchased through shared ownership and now the owners are looking to sell and move on. You buy the share they are selling and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder.
We have lots of information available for existing shared owners, from buying more shares or selling your shared ownership home, to information on your shared ownership lease and buildings warranty.
Some of our existing tenants may have the right to purchase their existing property under one of the following schemes: Right to Buy, Right to Acquire and Social HomeBuy.

General Question
Why does the NHL hate their fans?
Asked by Sad_NHL_Fan (4 ) September 17th, 2012
Question says it all. I mean why would the players hate the people who give money to see them play and the owners hate who give them money to pay players from merchandise and tickets?
Lockouts hurt the fans as much as the players…
The sport is not exactly famous everywhere, and this lockout won't help me explain to those (my co-workers) why I like the sport.
For that matter how did the yotes make it to semi-finals?

Top Court Strikes Down Election Challenge
By Paul Vieira
Canada's top court has brought an end to one of the controversies over election practices that have been swirling around the ruling Conservative Party since last year's national vote, when the party won a majority mandate after five years of minority rule.
The Supreme Court of Canada said there's no need to hold a new by-election in a Toronto-area riding where allegations of voting irregularities were rife. In a 4-3 decisionreleased Thursday, it overturned an Ontario provincial court ruling that annulled the riding's May 2, 2011 results.
The ruling means the governing Conservatives retain the seat of Etobicoke Centre, in the west end of Toronto, with Ted Opitz as the riding's representative in Ottawa. Mr. Opitz won the seat last year against the Liberal Party incumbent, Borys Wrzesnewskyj, by a mere 26 votes.
That leaves the Conservatives still holding 163 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons, the lower house in Canada's legislature.
Based on an application from Mr. Wrzesnewskyj, the Ontario court ruled that there were enough irregularities surrounding 79 votes cast on election day–including people voting without the proper identification to prove they lived in Etobicoke Centre– to annul the results.
Mr. Opitz, backed by the Conservative Party, appealed the ruling.
According to the majority of Supreme Court justices, Mr. Wrzesnewskyj's arguments "relied entirely on circumstantial evidence. There is no direct evidence that any votes, including the 79 that the application judge set aside, were cast by someone who in fact was not entitled to vote." The top court said 59 of the 79 votes should be restored.
However, another allegation about questionable election practices by the Conservatives lives on—that the party used automated phone calls, or "robocalls", to mislead voters about the location of polling places in the May 2011 vote. The Conservative Party has strongly denied the allegations. A spokeswoman for Elections Canada declined to comment, other than to note the agency's director, Marc Mayrand, informed Canada's Parliament recently that the robocall probe continues.

A Little Piece of Picasso– March 15-April 19, Tuesday-Thursday 10 AM-5 PM; Access Gallery 909 Santa Fe Drive; Artist Pablo Picasso is quoted as saying "a good artist copies, a great artist steals." One of Picasso's most famous works, the politically motivated work entitled "Guernica" was painted as an immediate reaction to the Nazi's devastating casual bombing practice on the Basque town of Guernica during Spanish Civil War. Access Gallery Resident artist Javier Flores and his team of artworks artists was angered that in December of 2012, the US blocked a United Nations treaty to ban discrimination against people with disabilities. Their immediate reaction was to channel their feelings into the creation of the 14 foot long "Guernica" inspired piece entitled "REALLY?" that depicts Braille writing, a blind person and his guide dog and Bob Dole rolling over in his grave (he was instrumental in passing the Americans with Disabilities Act). Artists from VSA Colorado's ArtWorks program are exhibiting this powerful piece, and other works influenced by the prolific artist in "A Little Piece of Picasso"; For more information call or visit 303-777-0797 or www.accessgallery.org.
Me, Myself and Thou: A portrait of you and me– March 15 – 31, Fridays 6-10 PM and Saturdays, Sundays 12-5 PM; Zip 37 Gallery, 3644 Navajo St; Valerie Savarie is a talented North Denver artist that has presented an interesting take on herself and others in this fantastic art piece: This exhibition is about me AND you (us). At a quick glance from across the street, we may appear different but I ask you to come closer, take a long look at me (my art) and yourself (inner reflection). Our internal similarities far outweigh the peripheral differences we are told to focus on. As the old adage states "don't judge a book by it's cover". Mainly composed of altered book art, each piece resembles myself – spawned from an impulse, memory or idea (combination thereof) which I hope the audience (you) can somehow relate to. Read beyond language, embrace uncertainty, look past the classification and see each person as an individual. Get to know that person and you will find that they (I) share more commonalities in experiences and dreams than not. I open myself up to you to exam, sympathize with, laugh at, question, and judge in return for your thoughts, connections, and remembrances. This is an interactive exhibit where you will be asked (not forced) to share something – some correlation you made between your life and the exhibit (my life). Leave this thought on a provided post card and I will return it to you with a sketch, collage, painting or poem inspired by your words. In support of community (he, she, you, them, I become we) there will be one piece up for silent auction with all proceeds going to Radio 1190 – an important supporter and promoter of our local community; For more information visit www.zip37.com or www.valeriesavarie.com
The Buddha Clock- March 22, 6 PM; The Mercury Café, 2199 California St; If you've been to the Mercury Café, you may have seen a wizard contemplatively giving tarot card readings. You may have even been compelled to have your own present quandaries or future aspirations divined by this kindly fellow. Commonly known as Mr. Wizard, Leerie Thomas Tagney has existed as a mystical fixture of the Denver Community for decades, and over his years as a medium, has cultivated his own interpretations of astrology, tarot, the zodiac, geomancy, as well as a poetic melding of a variety of religious understandings. Over the last several years, Mr. Wizard has been channeling his resources towards a creative capstone that he calls The Buddha Clock. This artesian timepiece is not only a culmination of Mr. Wizard's philosophical insights, but also an aesthetically impressive collaboration between several notable Denver Artists who worked together to bring the Wizard's ideas to reality. The Mercury Café is hosting a reception in honor of the Buddha Clock, and all are welcome to attend; For more information call 303-294-9258
Text-a-saurus– Last Saturday of each month, Next one March 30, 10:30 PM; The Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo Street; The Bug Theatre is proud to announce the addition of TEXT-A-SAURUS to its monthly line-up of alternative shows, joining Freak Train, The Emerging Filmmakers Project, and The Grawlix. TEXT-A-SAURUS is a co-production of The Bug Theater and show creator and host Deacon Gray, and will be staged at The Bug on the last Saturday of every month at 10:30 PM. TEXT-A-SAURUS is a comedy hybrid with elements of stand-up and improvisation. In act one, an MC and three comedians perform short stand-up sets. After each comic, a phone number is projected on the stage screen, and the audience is asked to text (or tweet) topics they wish that comic to talk about in act two. After a brief intermission, each comic takes the stage a second time to speak on topics from the audience. Here's the catch: the comics don't know the topics ahead of time, so the entire set is improvised. The comics take the stage, the topics appear on the screen, and the act must be made up on the spot. Topics from past shows have included 'hipster royalty', 'penguin violence', and 'Narnia porn.' (Comedian Jordan Doll brilliantly answered 'Narnia porn' with 'The Lyin' Bitch in the Whore-drobe.'). At the end, all four comics take the stage together in a speed round to burn through the unused texts. Past speed round topics have included 'seducing Denver women' and 'canceled Food Network shows.' The end result is an exhilarating and hilarious show that Michael Powell of The Comedy Buffet called, "The most dangerous and innovative night of comedy I've ever seen."; $10. Seating is general admission; For more information call or visit 303-477-9984 or www.bugtheatre.org.

"I really like the simple three panel layout especially the room for the larger photo. I also like the the simple text area that didn't over power the photos. Friends commented on the same things. The paper stock was of high quality, firm card stock that wasn't overly stiff. The photos printed very clearly on it as well. Overall a very elegant and simple design that allows the photos to "do the talking". Highly recommend!"
"This is my 2nd year to order Christmas cards from Tiny Prints. Year 1 was great, but i was having trouble getting the whole family together for a pic, so in a panic I used pictures from my phone. I ordered at midnight on Wednesday and the brilliant cards were delivered on Friday. Your website encouraged me not to use pictures that didn't meet resolution requirements, resulting in a beautiful card on quality paper. My only regret was not ordering more. A sincere thank you from me."
"I made a last-minute decision to print some Christmas cards this year. It was our son's first Christmas and I wanted to show him off. I had a professional photographer take our photos so I wanted a card design thatt matched the quality of our images. Tiny prints totally came through. I had emailed customer service about a color error I saw upon uploading. They responded quickly to let me know that my order was fixed and there was nothing to worry about. I received the cards in a few days and was completely happy. I have received many compliments from our friends and family on the quality of the design and paper. I recommend this company to anyone."
"Great choice of colors for the prints we added. The paper quality was excellent. Everyone has been raving about the design of the card."
"They turned out fantastic and I received them less than a week after I ordered them. Great product once again from TinyPrints!"

Fawlty Towers (1975)
3 questions
Starring: Andrew Sachs, Connie Booth, John Cleese, Prunella Scales
Genres: Comedy
The Builders - S1-E2
Question: After Manuel has been punched by the builder, there is a close-up of the telephone receiver, and we hear Basil say something that ends in "thank you very much." What does Basil say?
Answer: Basil says "Well done, Manuel, thank you very much."
Question: Basil asks the American male guest (Mr Hamilton) if they have palm trees in California. The American replies that, "They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them." The DVD then appears to cut prematurely to the next scene. Is there a hidden or subliminal joke here that I'm missing?
Answer: A possible explanation can be found here: http://tviv.org/Fawlty_Towers/Waldorf_Salad Quote: "This is, of course, sarcasm, as southern California in general and Los Angeles in particular is famous for its palm trees".
Question: When Polly is laying in bed disguised as Mrs Fawlty, was that really Prunella scales playing that part? I was wondering as Polly as a more thinner face than Sybil and could never have really got away with it.
Answer: Indeed it is Polly. She has stuffings in her mouth to pretend she is swollen.

Toyota Holds Contest For Prius Fans On Facebook
Trying to bring levity to a year marked by recalls, fines and government inquiries, Toyota says it will hold a contest on Facebook to find the most rabid fan of its Prius hybrid car.
The event marks 10 years of U.S. sales for he Prius, which came quietly to showrooms in 2000 where it attracted tech-savvy early adopters but few mainstream buyers. The contest also helps draw consumers' attention back to the Prius and its gasoline-electric drive system at a time when highly anticipated electric cars like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt are stealing some of the Prius' retail thunder.
To find out more about the contest consumers have to visit Toyota Prius on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/prius. After you "like" the page, the company will get back to you regarding exactly how to enter.
Toyota says it wants to see photos and video "demonstrating your Prius passion." It could have to do with a love of technology, a knack for hypermiling (or driving in a way that maximizes fuel economy), or fighting for ecological causes. The winner will get to host the 10 Years of Toyota Prius celebration in his on her hometown.
The car maker will pick 10 finalists and the online Prius community will decide on the winner. The submission period runs until Aug. 13, participants will pick their favorites among the finalists from Aug. 18 to Aug. 27 and Toyota will announce the winner Aug. 31. The celebration takes place Oct. 10.
Driver's Seat will be live-blogging the Toyota sales call on Aug. 3 at 3 p.m. ET. You can follow the live blog here.

March 5, 2011 HAWAI'I ISLAND, Hawaii — At 1:42 p.m. HST this afternoon, USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) monitoring network detected the onset of rapid deflation at Pu`u `Ō `ō and increased tremor along Kīlauea Volcano's middle east rift zone. At 2:00 p.m., Kīlauea's summit also began to deflate.
Between 2:16 and 2:21 p.m., the floor of the Pu`u `Ō `ō crater began to collapse, and within 10 minutes, incandescent ring fractures opened on the crater floor a few tens of meters away from the crater wall. Asthe floor continued to drop, lava appeared in the center of the crater floor, the northeast spatter conewithin Pu`u `Ō `ō collapsed, and an obvious scarp developed on the west side of the crater floor, withlava cascading over the scarp toward the center of the crater.
At 2:41 p.m., the scarp on the west side of the crater floor appeared to disintegrate, exposing incandescent rubble. Five minutes later, the collapse of a large block along the east crater wall produced a dust plume.
Webcam images showed that the Pu`u `Ō `ō crater floor continued to drop through 4:26 p.m., when fume obscured the camera view. HVO Webcam images can be accessed at http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/cams/.
Coincident with the collapse in Pu`u `Ō `ō, an earthquake swarm began along Kīlauea's middle east rift zone in the area of Maka`opuhi and Napau Craters. Tiltmeters showed east rift zone deflation, which continues as of this writing.
At 5:15 p.m., an HVO geologist flying over Kīlauea's middle east zone reported "an eruption in Napau Crater." The eruption is now known to be located between Napau Crater and Pu`u `Ō `ō.
Updates on the status of this eruption will be posted on HVO's Web site at http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/activity/kilaueastatus.php.
According to Jim Kauahikaua, HVO's Scientist-in-Charge, "This event is remarkably similar to a 1997 eruption in and near Napau Crater, which lasted less than 24 hours."
Kīlauea's summit also continues to deflate, and the lava lake level within the Halema'uma'u Crater vent continues to drop, facilitating rockfalls from the vent wall.
In response to the current volcanic conditions, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has closed the Chain of Craters Road and all east rift zone and coastal trails, along with the Kulanaokuaiki campground, until further notice.
Daily updates about Kīlauea's ongoing eruptions, recent images and videos of summit and east rift zone volcanic activity, and data about recent earthquakes are posted on the HVO Web site at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov.

The 4-year-old yellow Labrador isn't called "Buffy, the Mosquito Slayer" for nothing.
Buffy detects mosquito breeding water in Alameda County, saving quite a bit of human detective work.
Buffy is one of two Bay Area dogs trained in this type of airborne scent work to combat the dangers of mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus.
The county's Mosquito Abatement District -- for whom Buffy's owner and trainer, Sharon Mead, works -- is grateful. District Manager John Rusmisel says Buffy, a mosquito hunter for two years, may be added to the payroll.
Her pay? Food and veterinary costs.
Lively and friendly at play, but all business when wearing her "service dog" vest, Buffy sniffs out foul-smelling water from covered utility vaults, crawl spaces of houses and pipes half-hidden in hillsides.
"The signal she gives says, 'This is it' in case I can't see what she's smelling," Mead said.
The signal?
Buffy sits.
It's the easiest signal Hayward resident Mead could teach Buffy. And, when successful, there is always a food treat for the canine.
"I bought Buffy with this purpose in mind," Mead said. "When I went to the breeder's kennel, Buffy left all the other puppies and went out exploring. You could see her sniffing the air."
An independent, air-tracking dog with a strong food drive -- the perfect combination for the quick and efficient mosquito searches.
Other areas in which dogs have been trained in scent work: search-and-rescue, drug and explosives detection, cancer detection and finding termite infestations in houses.
To train Buffy, Mead created water in the district's lab. She used the same formula prepared for traps that attract female mosquitoes looking to lay their eggs.
Mead created miniature mock-ups of buildings, with openings such as crawl-space vents, hiding bowls of stagnant-smelling water inside for Buffy to smell.
The district is gearing up for its busy spring and summer season, after heavy winter rains.
So is Buffy, who's not the only member of the animal kingdom helping the district ferret out mosquitoes.
The district uses flocks of "sentinel" chickens near Fremont, Livermore and Mountain House to detect mosquito-borne diseases. The chickens' blood is tested frequently in the spring and summer for virus antibodies and diseases.
The district delivers mosquitofish free of charge to homes that need mosquito control in fish ponds. The fish eat mosquito larvae.

Colin Mitchell | Jan 22, 2013 | Comments 0 |
The Hollywood Fringe is already starting to crank back up and this year they want YOU to design their Fringe cover guide for the 2013 Festival. Here's the skinny from their site:
What We Want You to Design
Every year, we produce a printed guide of all the shows produced at our festival. This contest is centered around the GUIDE COVER IMAGE; the seminal representation of the 2013 festival.
Here are three guides of years past:
Generally, the cover image includes our mascots – "the freaks". The five main freaks are included on the cover of the 2012 Guide. The "look" of these freaks can be adapted to fit the your unique aesthetic so feel free to play into your comfort zone (see the links above for examples of previous adaptations).
Get in on it now, LemonHeads. And good luck.

Patrick Rael returns! This time with a guest post on some odd (to put it politely) ways of remembering slavery:
On Sean Hannity's April 8 television show, Scripps Howard News Service columnist Star Parker likened modern "liberal" Democrats to antebellum slave owners.
When we look at who is behind this strategy, the liberal Democrats have not changed their M.O. This is not a new strategy, they used it during slavery. Remember, every time the word 'freedom' was mentioned and African Americans at that time heard about freedom — if you ran away, they would bring you back to that plantation — the overseer — the overseer today is the Congressional Black Caucus, their exclusive job is to keep them on the plantation, keep them uneducated, and keep them unarmed. And this was the same job as the overseer of the slave plantation, which was liberal Democrats.
Parker's statement is not singular. In the last election cycle, Florida Representative Allen West called himself a "modern-day Harriet Tubman" who would lead black voters away from the Democratic Party "plantation." Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain likewise told Sean Hannity that he "left the Democratic plantation." Others, self-identified with the right, have long sought to make something out of the fact that in the mid-nineteenth century, Democrats most ardently defended slavery and oppressed black people. Because Democrats are today "liberal," the argument implies, the Democrats of the antebellum period who defended slavery must also have been liberal.
I suspect that most readers with even a rough familiarity with American history will find such statements suspect, if not laughable. But why is this argument bad?
Party affiliations have of course changed markedly over time. The Republican Party of the 1850s began by combining a rejection of slavery's westward expansion with the internal improvement planks of their Whig progenitors. By contrasting the opportunities provided by "free labor" with the anti-democratic tendencies of the southern "slave power," the party captured elements of the old Whig constituency, and pulled in those northern Democrats who leaned against slavery.
The Democratic Party of the same day harkened back to Andrew Jackson's populist appeal in the 1820s, which posed the party as the representative of the "common man." From the days of Jefferson, though, the Democratic Party had always protected slavery. Slaveholding southerners dominated its ranks and controlled its caucus. Steadily, and in part because of the moral crusade against slavery, some northern Democrats became frustrated with slavery's stranglehold on their party. In the late 1840s, they began breaking with the party. So adamant were they that slavery was wrong that they even made common cause with antislavery politicians in the opposing Whig party. The Whigs fell apart, and a new party was born: the Republicans.
So, in the antebellum period, the strongest voices for political conservatism resided in the Democratic Party. The Democratic Southerners who led secession left no doubt as to their principles. "We are not revolutionists — we are resisting revolution," the editor of the southern DeBow's Review declared. "We are conservative." The Democratic-dominated Confederacy viewed itself as but "upholding the great principles which our fathers bequeathed us," and "struggling for constitutional freedom" — the freedom to hold other humans in chattel bondage. Slaveholding Democrats more closely resembled the strict constructionists and constitutional literalists of today's Republican Party than they do the modern Democrats. Economically, slavery's leading apologists were not liberals at all, in neither the classic nor modern senses, but men suspicious of unfettered capitalism and fearful of free labor markets.
In contrast, it was the northern Whigs and then Republicans who most clearly represented the reform element in American society, calling for the development of a national infrastructure, tax-supported state systems of free public education, liberal homesteads in the West, and a system of land-grant colleges — all examples of, by antebellum standards, an activist state. Thus many would contend that before the Civil War the Republicans constituted the "liberal" party on most issues, while the Democrats were the most "conservative." (How these tables got to be turned is a long and fascinating story in itself.)
But such comparisons have severe limits — not just because party positions have changed over many years, but because the parties have always failed to conform to what modern commentators assume to be timeless ideological categories such as "liberal" and "conservative." The same Republicans who championed antislavery also sought to control the lives of the poor through a vigorous campaign of temperance and urban reform. They often tended toward nativism and drew their energy from Christian evangelicalism. They even embraced a brand of watered-down antislavery that could find common cause with the widespread white supremacism of the day.
The Democratic Party, too, defied simple categorization, for urban workingmen and Irish immigrants also found a comfortable home among its ranks. These workingmen tended to despise African Americans, and hence made strange bedfellows with the powerful southern slaveholders who often led the party. But such discordant coalitions have been the norm rather than the exception in American politics, as anyone familiar with, for example, the New Deal Democratic coalition will appreciate.
Nothing I'm saying here is particularly novel or controversial. Though other historians may quibble with elements of such a quick rendering, few would fault this basic view of the antebellum political system. It's lesson is clear: it makes little sense to map contemporary values onto the past. They just don't fit. To call the modern "liberal" Democratic Party the ideological heirs to the antebellum Democratic Party of secession is simple nonsense.
I suspect that those who make such arguments know better. But many among the public may not. That is where history teachers and professors come in. Rather than teaching students to partake of this sort of polemicization of the past, we concentrate on humbler, far more important, skills. We spend our lives coaching students to read scholarship with an eye to argument, to place these arguments in conversation with other arguments, to develop our own historical questions from the arguments we read, to find the documentary evidence that might help us address important questions, to read these sources critically and responsibility, to use such sources to formulate our own conjectures about the problems in question, and to express our findings in ways intelligible to both broad publics and academic communities.
It is counter to our mission to misuse the past to score political points. Instead, we work to equip students with tools to evaluate for themselves arguments they may find in public discourse. It's a tall order, but one that offers the reward of witnessing former students of all political stripes employ their critical thinking skills in public debates with intellectual honesty, respect for thoughtful discourse, and an over-arching desire to work toward something we might call the public good, however differently we may all define it.
