I missed Brian Patten's recent BBC radio documentary about the vanished poet Rosemary Tonks. I even foolishly missed it on Listen Again. It was very annoying as information about Rosemary Tonks is available in directly inverse proportion to how interesting she is.* She's one of those poets people talk about. She is very influential, but only if you've managed to read her work: John Stammers, for example, cites her influence and even took the title of his second book, Stolen Love Behaviour, from one of her poems.
Tonks – of whom I have never seen a picture – was, or seems to have been, an intensely glamorous figure in the sixties, with a rich banker husband and a big house and some kind of dissolute life – or at the very least a very dissolute inner life. I don't know which. She wrote stories and poems and reviewed poetry for the BBC. She wrote two volumes of poetry which amount, I hear, to a total of 46 poems; a few autobiographical, symbolist (from what I can make out) "poetic novels" (which you can get a bit cheaper); and that's it.
Her main, and rapturous, influences were Rimbaud and Baudelaire, and Cavafy, and it has been said of her that she is one one of the very few contemporary English poets to try to learn something about symbolism and surrealism from the French. The poems are very raw-nerves, set at a pitch of immediacy and discomfort I would find it difficult to sustain even as a writer, much less to live at. They are intensely electric. And full of absolute killer lines.
Here is an extract from The Sofas, Fogs and Cinemas:
On my bad days (and I'm being broken
At this very moment) I speak of my ambitions…and he
Becomes intensely gloomy, with the look of something jugged,
Morose, sour, mouldering away, with lockjaw….
I grow coarser: and more modern (I, who am driven mad
By my ideas; who go nowhere;
Who dare not leave my front door, lest an idea…)
All right. I admit everything, everything!
Oh yes, the opera (Ah, but the cinema)
He particularly enjoys it, enjoys it horribly, when someone's ill
At the last minute; and they specially fly in
A new, gigantic, Dutch soprano. He wants to help her
With her arias. Old goat! Blasphemer!
He wants to help her with her arias!
No, I…go to the cinema,
I particularly like it when the fog is thick, the street
Is like a hole in an old coat, and the light is brown as laudanum…
She stopped publishing poetry in the early seventies, apparently converting to Christianity, and in the late seventies she vanished entirely. Apparently she lives in some kind of garden shed or something and won't communicate with anyone at all. Though how melodramatic this account is, who can say. I've even seen one account that says she packed it all in after seeing the ghost of Baudelaire. There is a reasonable rationale on Wikipedia:
Her fiction in particular moved from a dissatisfaction with urban living found in both her collections of poetry and in satiric novels such as The Bloater and Businessmen as Lovers to a pronounced loathing of middle to upper-middle class materialism in her later work. Her distaste for materialism meant that Tonks also developed an interest in the movement of symbolism that eventually led her to a conception of spirituality as the only alternative to materialism. This embrace of what she called "the invisible world" may have ultimately led her to distrust the act of writing itself, and caused her to abandon writing as a career.
She repudiates her poetry, which makes it impossible for anyone to republish it. Here she is, though, talking about it before the cataclysm:
"I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life—with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys."
So then I had an email from someone I don't know at all, in New York, asking me about this documentary and how he might get hold of her books. I went on Abebooks to see if there were any copies and there weren't – possibly post-documentary. When there are, I've never seen one for under about £40; wrote back saying no books, good luck, etc; and thought no more of it.
Until a few weeks later when he sent me this link.
Er, and if you've enjoyed this, the blog is now operating at http://baroqueinhackney.com. Thanks.

Police probe pharmacy robberyMay 24,2013BENNINGTON Police in Bennington are looking for a suspect following an armed robbery at a CVS pharmacy.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette said officers responded to a 911 call around 9 p.m. Tuesday. The caller said someone had entered the store, jumped over the pharmacy counter and demanded Percocet while showing a handgun. The male suspect left with some medication.
Police arrived within minutes and locked down the store. A police dog helped track the suspect for a while, but the trail was lost at a nearby gas station. Police told the Bennington Banner that they believe a getaway car was waiting at the gas station.
Surveillance video shows a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a black face mask and gloves. He was holding a black and silver handgun.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

That's a good point. I remember in 1997 Jerry Rice got hurt and a lot of people gave up on us. Well, a young WR by the name of Terrell Owens stepped right in and we did just fine. Yes, we lost in the NFC Championship, but we still had a good year and we found out that we had a pretty good WR in Terrell Owens.
We can use this to our advantage, but Coffee has to be able to run the ball or it's going to be difficult to pass. Hopefully we bring up Sheets to help the running game out.
I think Vernon Davis is going to carry much of the load until Gore returns, which could be another positive.

My Experience in Orlando
AUTHOR: LMcelwaney - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 28, 2011POSTED: Thursday, July 28, 2011
But then! During my very first class, we were told that there were 3 different high-end restaurant chains that had black-listed anyone coming from this school because we were "lazy, disrespectful, and didnt know how to work in the industry". During my first few classes, the rules were very strict because they wanted to "maintain their good image". The thing is, they had no GOOD image to maintain.
In the next few months, the entire student services department was totally gone. Doesnt exist anymore. The financial aid office? Went in there and they told me "we no longer deal with financial aid on campus. Call the 1-800 number". Scheduling was done by ONE lady.
Then, in my next class, I walked in on the first day, to find a kitchen jam-packed with 67 people. So we had to deal with this for a few days until they created 2 other classes. Then in my next class, which was my baking and pastry class, same situation. And my friend had to do her baking and pastry class in a culinary kitchen because they had way too many students. Then another B and P class had the same experience. 30 people in the class, in a culinary kitchen.
One day I was walking into an office and overheard someone who was on their little tour, and I overheard the woman say that "when you enroll you will get 3 full uniforms". Why is that I wonder?? Because when I enrolled, we got 5! Hmmm.
And as for the entrance interview, theyve taken it to another level. They now have an entire office with cubicals so that the interview can be "confidential and private". but really they accept anyone who walks in and wants to give them money. I had a guy in my class that had 5 felonies on his record. And another with a felony that he said "could never be taken off his record and he wouldnt talk about". So they clearly arent concerned with who is going to their school.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. This school is a total joke, and I dont expect it to last much longer. I heard so many people saying "I should have gone to -insert cheaper school here-"
Oh, and also, I switched from the degree program to the diploma program when I found out that all of the academic classes such as math, are not transferable to other colleges. They are counted as electives because they dont meet the proper standards. So Im sure that is the real reason they got rid of the degree program. Not their excuse "we got rid of it because we are the only culinary school that offered it". Bull! If that was the case, that would give them an advantage.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Boil advisory issued for Dulac residents
Published: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 2:57 p.m.
HOUMA — A boil-water advisory was issued today for parts of Dulac.
The advisory covers businesses and homes along Four Point Road, or Parish Road No. 67.
Terrebonne Waterworks District No. 1 issued the advisory this morning after a break in a distribution line caused a drop in line pressure, said a news release from the district, which delivers water throughout the parish.
"Repairs are currently being made and water samples will be taken in order to conduct laboratory analysis," the release said.
Residents should boil all water intended for consumption for at least one minute after the water comes to a rolling boil.
For information, call the Waterworks District office at 879-2495.

Wedding Photographer Flies Remote-Controlled Helicopter Iinto Grooms Face
Posted August 19th, 2013 @ 6:32am
A wedding photographer recently got creative and decided to shoot part of a couple's wedding video by strapping a camera to a remote-controlled helicopter.
Then he tried to do a dramatic shot where the helicopter swoops past them while they're staring into each other's eyes.
But apparently being a wedding photographer doesn't automatically make you a good RC helicopter pilot , because he ended up flying it straight into the side of the groom's face.

Vermont House advances pension forfeitureFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a persons last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just InA two-vehicle crash on Route 4 in Killington in the early morning hours Saturday sent a Hartland...

Loved this jacket & our son will love it to it looks fantastic
Good quality jacket with lovely quilted & corduroy detailing.
Very nice jacket especially with winter on its way. Looks smarter than the average jacket as this one is double breasted. Very pleased with this purchase.
This was great value for money. Ordered and gave to my boyf who liked the fit etc. Saw how much it cost and automatically changed his view to loving this item. Great jacket for a great price
I have bought several Tokyo Laundry items from The Hut over the years as they are always spot on when it comes to style, quality and value. This jacket is no exception. It fits very well, ie. not baggy but "fitted", and is reasonably warm. By this I mean it is perfect for Autumn but may not offer enough warmth to see you through a harsh British Winter. I would expect to pay more than double this price for a garment of such quality. I know that I will get a lot of use from it this season, and would definitely recommend this item to anyone.
Jacket is very well made. Color is nice too but it is slightly different from the photos at the website. Very stylish and different from everyone else's jacket.Love it. Price is very good as well. Highly recommended
Great price... Superb stylish jacket... Excellent comms' and fast postal/courier service... "Thank You" x
Good jacket, warmer than it looks. Apart from the top button falling off 2 days after buying it.
Once again, The Hut excels itself in delivering exactly what you order and in a very timely manner! Good work.

What's Next With IPv6?Burt Kaliski | Jun 08, 2012
World IPv6 Launch this week was a success in terms of raising awareness and activity around Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
Now that the big day is past, what's next?
In one of my tweets on IPv6, I observed that there are enough IPv6 addresses that usage could double every year into the start of the next century without exhausting them all. So I'm not too concerned now about what's next after IPv6.
I am curious, however, about what's next with IPv6.
The Internet Society hasn't announced another IPv6 day in 2013, and probably doesn't need one. As I posted on CircleID, this week's World IPv6 Launch was just the right thing to "switch on" IPv6 support in numerous web sites, ISPs and home routers around the world, and to keep it on.
As an early adopter of IPv6, Verisign's "switch on" day goes as far back as 2004, when the name servers for .COM and .NET were IPv6-enabled. An even earlier milestone was in 2002 when the name servers began hosting AAAA records, enabling other early adopters to publish the IPv6 addresses for their own domains.
Many more providers have enabled IPv6 over the subsequent decade, especially in the past year with the community-wide effort reaching a focal point. There is no going back. World IPv6 Launch clearly marks the end of the early adoption phase.
But what about going forward? Have we crossed Geoffrey Moore's proverbial chasm into the early majority?
With more than 2,000 websites, vendors and Internet service providers from more than 100 countries publicly committing to support IPv6 in perpetuity, there's a good base of IPv6-enabled resources now, including enough major providers to tip the scales. But is there enough momentum to keep adoption growing fast enough as the Internet community moves past this week's remarkable effort? Is a "killer app" coming? Does there need to be one? Or is the "killing" of IPv4 address space still the main driver? What's next?

What materials did you use? Updated 20th September 2013 to include a picture of the beautiful couple on their big day, you can see the Bride wearing the Circlet and necklace :) For the necklace, I thought of creating a V shape to match the front of the circlet, with hammered elements and 3 Oval Peridots with 5 peridot faceted drops hanging from it, with a delicate multi strand chain The Necklace measures 18 1/2" including the centre piece. The centre piece is 2 1/2" long and 1" deep including the drop.
You do such beautiful work,each piece gets more beautiful,I wish I had you as my friend :)

Stroudsburg senior Mike Nikorak pitched three scoreless innings in Long Beach, California, on Tuesday night.
The right-hander allowed two hits, struck out two and didn't walk a batter in the Area Code game, which pits the best players from around the country against each other in an eight-team event.
Hundreds of Major League scouts use these games to gauge talent for next year's draft.
Nikorak has been solid this summer since hitting 97 mph on the radar gun in June in Fort Myers, Florida.

As the owners of the granny flat, we could not be happier. From the commencement of the build, to getting the keys to our granny flat in our hands – only took 9 weeks.
We could not be happier with the quality of workmanship, nothing was ever a problem and any question or query was always promptly followed up.
Thank you to everyone at Affordable Granny Flats, especially Lilly and Charles. We could not say enough great things about them.
We would highly recommend Affordable Granny Flats & Cabins to anyone.
To Affordable Granny Flats.
Firstly, on visiting the showroom early in the year, I was impressed by the finished product, especially the inclusions and quality of finishes. The design and layout was suitable to my needs and the pricing was within my budget.
The building looks great inside and out. The team at Affordable did their best to finish off and get it all done by the agreed time.
I really enjoyed dealing with them, because they always promptly reply to my emails and phone calls. They always provide answers to my many questions.
So thank you Lilly for all your help and good work throughout the whole process. I would like to congratulate you and everyone at Affordable for doing a terrific job and meeting my expectations.
I highly recommend anyone to do business with you, and if the opportunity arises, I will also do likewise.
The Affordable Granny Flats sales team were very supportive & all knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions. Nothing was a bother for them. They lead you through the process of purchasing your granny flat with the greatest of ease.
My son and daughter in law along with their baby son have moved into my home and are able to keep an eye on me. It's so nice having them live so close to me.
I have now settled into my new granny flat and am very happy and comfortable in it.
Thank you all,

No software happens to erase errors. So this week stint at Ford because the module does not respond, so he stays on despite the different software used
I try this solution this afternoon.
HEC in the AWD box is not check. Should I check knowing that I have a 2x4 and not 4x4? Putting the as built of my friends wrong t it injects its VIN???
with FF2 and elmconfig I do not manage to reset the IPC module do you know the solfware FOCOM Apparently it would be the most appropriate????
no communication with IPC module is faulty. Even a colleague with a suitcase can not correct that the kuga is 4 * 4 * 4 instead of 2. I was looking for a solution contnue
ok I'll try to recheck and record and see if it unlocks the module on elmconfig on FDS i don't know
DDS isn t check on FDS but only on elmconfig
impossible to click on load or save left, is this normal?
I put my original built, I found that everything is delivered as the original except that both lights are still there. On the software elmconfig DDS is always checked and ford, he is not??? weird still same error elmconfig and impossible to erase.
I managed to have my as built VIN request with my motorcraftservice.com. I save in text format What should I do now?
software installation and after reading it gives these impressions screens below. Sorry I hid some data because I do not know if this is exploitable by dishonest persons outside the site. I think you understand me. What to do now to read this?? I did not backup?? can you give me the procedure to save before eventual change that seems fair. thank you for your interest in my mechanical problem

How do I keep one "introductory" post at the top of a page, and not have it become buried sequentially?
How do I keep one "introductory" post at the top of a page, and not have it become buried sequentially?
Make the post "sticky" using the option in the Visibility sub-menu on the Edit Post page.
Thanks for the reply. The only option I find in the Visibility sub-menu on the Edit Post page is to "stick this post on the front page." ( http://codex.wordpress.org/File:expanded_visibility.jpg )
But that doesn't change the order of the posts on that page (a subsequent post stays ABOVE the post I want to keep on the top).
Any suggestions.
A Sticky Post should stay at the top of the first Page with the rest of the Posts in normal order starting below the Sticky Post - at least it always has for me.
Have you tried a Sticky Post on your site?
I tried making the intro post "sticky" by checking the box on the Visibility sub-menu. Then I added a subsequent post ("Test Blog") to the category. But the subsequent post still comes up on TOP of the sticky post, so it's not working for me. Here's the example, maybe someone can figure out how this clueless person (myself) can continue to get it wrong.
Ah - unless you have a specialised category template, posts will only "stick" to the top on the the index/home page.
So...that means it can't be accomplished? What's a "specialised category template?"
I see instances lots of times where a post is made "sticky" and stays on top. I don't understand why it doesn't happen here. Is that only for forum situations?
The sticky posts on this forum are quite different to the sticky posts in WordPress. WP sticky posts only "stick" to the top of your main posts page:
- the front page if your site is configured to show your latest posts on the front page.
- your posts page if you're using a static front page
A "specialised category template" is a template made for a specific category and, in your case, one that uses a custom query to list sticky posts first.

Packers fans: Are you suited for reality TV?
Reality TV fans may be getting a dose of Wisconsin culture soon with a show focused on Wisconsin's faithful football fans. Apparently producers from the Style Network were in Green Bay on Friday looking for the most vivacious Cheeseheads to cast for a pilot to be filmed by the end of the year.
Packers wives are currently featured in "The Better Half" on WLUK-TV (Channel 11) in five Wisconsin TV markets, but the NBCUniversal-owned Style Network would bring Packer pride to a cable TV audience on the heels of shows like "Jerseylicious" and "Big Rich Texas." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Arizona State Sun Devils
Report: NFL scout says ASU's Will Sutton added 'bad weight'
Will Sutton emerged as a dominant force for the Arizona State Sun Devils last season, tallying 13 sacks while anchoring a stout ASU defense.
He was named the Pac-12's Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year, and was a consensus All-American. It was thought he could have turned pro and been an NFL Draft pick, but he decided in January to return to school for his senior season.
While his team is 2-0 and ranked 23rd, Sutton has been a bit of a disappointment, with just three total tackles and zero sacks. What's the problem? According to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks, an NFL scout says the defensive tackle is too heavy.
Arizona State DT Will Sutton is viewed as an enigma in NFL circles. The 6-foot-1, 307-pound interior defender entered the season regarded as one of the best pass rushers in the country after posting 12 sacks a season ago, but scouts I've talked to are wondering if Sutton has lost his edge after gaining nearly 20 pounds in the offseason.
Talking to several evaluators at the Arizona State-Wisconsin game this weekend, I had a few guys tell me that Sutton looks sluggish and lacks the explosiveness that was a hallmark of his game in 2012. An AFC North personnel executive told me that Sutton has added "bad weight" and that his weight gain has taken away from his biggest assets — speed and quickness. An NFC West scout suggested to me that Sutton needs to get in better shape and get his motor running to become the difference-maker some envision as a situational interior rusher in the NFL.
Sutton still has plenty of time to turn his season around, as it's only been two games. That said, getting back to being the explosive force he was last year would aid his NFL hopes as well as the Sun Devils.

The Kia Picanto is a small car that has been in production since 2004. So far there have been two generations, produced in South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Chile.

The Kia Picanto is a popular car and well-received by the press. It made Auto Car''s Top 5 list of city cars in 2015. Warranty Direct ranked it 21st in a ''top 100'' list of cars based on reliability. The Picanto also ranked ninth out of 50 superminis, with a score of 27, compared to first place''s six points and 50th''s 202. The scores are based on a number of factors in relation to reliability, such as the number of times a car breaks down, the costs of repair and the average amount of time spent off road due to repairs being done.
The Picanto was first launched in 2003, showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was based on a shortened platform of the Hyundai Getz. The Kia Picanto was offered in a five door hatchback body style. It received three out of five stars for adult occupant safety at the Euro NCAP crash tests in 2004, with four stars for child occupant safety.
Kia wanted to appeal to the European market, so the Picanto was equipped with features like a CD player with MP3 audio playback, air conditioning, front and patented rear electric windows, remote central locking and electric mirrors. The Picanto had a facelift in 2008, introducing minor changes to the light clusters. Kia also introduced a new bumper and front grille. It had another facelift in 2010, with minor interior and exterior changes, such as a new front fascia that incorporated the "tiger nose" grille Kia used across its range.
The Mk2 Kia Picanto made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011. It was designed by Kia''s European design team in Germany, under the direction of Peter Schreyer. Kia decided to make the new model longer in wheelbase and overall length, offered with a choice of two petrol engines: a 1.0 litre three cylinder or 1.25 litre four cylinder. The second generation Picanto received four out of five stars for overall safety at the Euro NCAP crash tests in 2011, with an adult occupant safety score of 86% and 83% for children.

'Taxing the cloud' up for debateNovember 18,2012MONTPELIER — Whether to levy Vermont's sales tax on so-called cloud computing will be up for discussion at the Vermont Statehouse.
Cloud computing happens most often when businesses, instead of buying software to run their processes, go on the Internet and pay to use software housed on computers located elsewhere.
Lawmakers this past spring passed a one-year moratorium and called for a study of whether the state should impose its sales tax on cloud computing services.
At a Statehouse session set for Monday afternoon, a special committee set to study the issue is to hear from state tax officials and analysts, as well as from a tax official from Washington state about that state's experience with levying the tax.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Pinch me so I get out of this nightmare
Michael, you wrote:"Among them are bills requiring chain restaurants to put nutrition info on their menus" Actually the bill only requires calorie information. The original bill, before it was diluted by the committee substitute, would have also required the chain restaurants to have complete nutritional information available to anyone that asked. The signed bill, only states that noting in the bill would stop them from providing the information. As a father of a type 1 diabetic son, I have long looked for nutritional information of restaurant websites. The fast food ones already do that and most of the have it posted in the restaurant or available if you ask. The next level up of national chains have little or no nutritional information, and I have had email conversations with them, ranging from outright lies (information still not on their website after a year) or they hide behind the statement something like' we get our food supplied from ultiple vendore across the country, so it would be impossible to get that data'. Yes the get the food from multiple vendors, but they also specify the size or weight of the items they buy from the vendors, because they want the menus items to look and taste the same anywhere in the country. Nutritionally, a potato is a potato ounce for ounce anywhere in the country. If they can provide calorie data, then they can provide complete nutritional data. I am now stepping off my pedestal ( the change in this bill is a sore spot to me).
Are you telling us that, throughout the entire corzine administration, these 55 laws were not high priority, but now, in the final days, they are all signed??!! Especially "•A-4360/S-3158 (Cryan, Greenwald/Sarlo, Oroho) – Requires additional information on State's long-term liabilities be presented in State annual debt report."
Are you telling us that OUR state's liabilities have not only NOT been presented in our state's annual debt report, but also have been HIDDEN from us??!
Those rotten bumbs!! Good thing we are voting them out!!

Woman denies choking incidentMay 15,2014Woman denies
choking incident
A Rutland woman denied choking a relative who was trying to evict her over allegations of drug activity.
Andi Majka, 26, of Kinsley Avenue, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault.
She was released on the condition that she stay away from the alleged victim.
Police said the alleged victim received a letter Friday from neighbors accusing Majka of drug activity in the building. When confronted, Majka attacked the woman, trying to strangle her, and the two had to be pulled apart, police said.
Rutland City Police responded at about 4:20 p.m. Friday and brought Majka to the police station. Police said Majka denied the assault and claimed the other woman attacked her.

Nymphaea alba
|European white water-lily
|Scientific classification
|N. alba
|Binomial name
|Nymphaea alba
Nymphaea alba, also known as the European white water-lily, white water rose or white nenuphar, is an aquatic flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae.[1]
It grows in water that is 30–150 cm (12–59 in) deep and likes large ponds and lakes. The leaves can be up to 30 cm (12 in) in diameter and they take up a spread of 150 cm (59 in) per plant.[1] The flowers are white and they have many small stamens inside. It is found all over Europe and in parts of North Africa and the Middle East in freshwater.[2]
The red variety (Nymphaea alba f. rosea) which is in cultivation came from lake Fagertärn ("Fair tarn") in the forest of Tiveden, Sweden, where they were discovered in the early 19th century. The discovery led to a large scale exploitation which nearly made it extinct in the wild before it was protected.[3]
Nymphaea candida J. Presl is sometimes considered a subspecies of N. alba (N. alba L. subsp. candida (J. Presl) Korsh.).[2]
It contains the active alkaloids nupharine and nymphaeine, and is a sedative and an aphrodisiac/anaphrodisiac depending on sources. Although roots and stalks are used in traditional herbal medicine along with the flower, the petals and other flower parts are the most potent. Alcohol can be used to extract the active alkaloids, and it also boosts the sedative effects. The root of the plant was used by monks and nuns for hundreds of years as an anaphrodisiac, being crushed and mixed with wine. In the earliest printed medical textbooks, authors would maintain this area of use, though warning against consuming large and frequent doses.[4]

It wasn't just the updated Events channel that Apple TV got today, as Nat Geo TV just joined the channel list on your Apple TV home screen.
It is almost certain now that the Apple TV 4 will be launched on June 8th at the WWDC 2015. Among many other details leaked, it was rumoured that the next Apple TV could ship with Apple's own video streaming service. But "several people with knowledge of the situation" have told Re/Code otherwise:
Apple just updated the Events channel on the Apple TV announcing that they will stream the WWDC 2015 keynote live on June 8th, at 10 am Pacific Time.
As many of you might already know, the Reflector app turns any Mac or PC into an AirPlay receiver, so you can mirror your iPhone or iPad directly to them. Squirrels, the company behind the popular AirParrot app, pushed out a major update to Reflector a couple of days back: Reflector 2 shows considerable love to non-Apple users as it picked up support for Google Cast.
We already know that Apple is preparing their own video subscription service, and it was speculated to get launched in June at the WWDC 2015. However, a recent report by Re/code suggests that the launch might be a bit delayed, thanks to Apple's ambitions to include local programming in the streaming service.

Getting beyond vi with the vim text editor
You don't have to use the vim text editor as a latter day vi. These simple tricks will save you time and keystrokes.
Vim has become the de facto replacement for vi in most Linux distributions. If you have been using Unix systems for a while, you probably have not even noticed that you are now using vim instead of vi because all the usual vi commands work as you would expect in vim. However, vim is an extremely powerful editor – think emacs without the need to grow additional fingers and attend yoga classes – and therefore is much more than just a vi clone. These features are ready for you to use, and once you start using them, you might wonder how you survived without them. This article puts you on the road to vim enlightenment by highlighting some useful features you might not know about if you're accustomed to using vim as another form of vi.

1 item from 2003
28 December 2003 | IMDb News
Actor Alan Bates, who came to fame as one of British cinema's "angry young men" of the 60s and whose heralded stage and screen career was marked by a love of acting as opposed to fame, died Saturday night in London after a long battle with cancer; he was 69. Educated at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Bates indeed helped launch the genre of angry young men plays by starring in John Osbourne's Look Back in Anger in 1956, which started him on a stage career that was marked by innumerable roles created by classic playwrights. His first major film role in 1960 was opposite none other than Laurence Olivier in Osbourne's The Entertainer, in which Bates and a young Albert Finney played the sons of Olivier's shabby vaudevillian. Roles in Whistle Down the Wind, A Kind of Loving and The Running Man followed, but it was Bates' two successive performances in Zorba the Greek and Georgy Girl that helped make him a film star; the former film, in which he played a repressed Englishman opposite Anthony Quinn's life-affirming Zorba, received a Best Picture nomination. Bates himself received a Best Actor nomination for John Frankenheimer's The Fixer (1968), and a year later earned more fame and a bit of notoriety for Ken Russell's erotic adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love, in which he wrestled naked with Oliver Reed. Notable film roles also included Far From the Madding Crowd, An Unmarried Woman, The Rose and his turn as Claudius in Mel Gibson's Hamlet. Bates also won a Tony award in 2002 for Turgenev's Fortune's Fool and was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1995 and knighted last year. Most recently, Bates was seen onscreen in the thriller The Sum of All Fears, Robert Altman's Oscar-winning Gosford Park and this year's drama The Statement. Bates, whose son Tristan died in 1990 and wife Victoria Ford died in 1992, is survived by two brothers, son Benedick, and a granddaughter. --Prepared by IMDb staff »

Ok, i know this is complicated.
i have a bunch of child pages that are being called, and each title is a person's name, there are far too many pages to use sort_column-> menu_order, and as far as i can see in the codex i can't sort_column by meta (and i am clueless on how to do that anyways). i currenty have them sorted by post date, but that is not ideal for my client, who would have to edit each new entry's date to make it appear in the right spot.
So, does anyone know a good way to sort about 20+ pages (that all show up on one page, mind you) by the second word in the title? i'm at a loss.
here's the code:
<?php $mypages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&exclude_tree=1254&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=asc');
$count = 0;
foreach($mypages as $page){
$content = $page->post_content;
if($count >= 50)
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);

<?php echo $content ?>

<?php } ?>
thanks for any suggestions!

Roscoe — The Federal Emergency Management Agency added Sullivan County to its disaster declaration yesterday, making the county eligible for federal money in the aftermath of June's deadly flash flood. Delaware County was declared eligible for federal assistance earlier this week.
A flash flood on June 19 washed away homes and roads at the border of the two counties, and killed at least two people. Two women remain missing and are presumed dead. Rescue and recovery workers continue to search for the missing, although authorities have told their families that everything "humanly possible" has been done to locate them.
The disaster declaration means Sullivan County will receive federal money to repair a 1,000-foot stretch of Beaverkill Valley Road, in the Town of Rockland, that was damaged in the flood. Repairing the road will cost an estimated $413,000 according to Richard Martinkovic, Sullivan's public safety commissioner.
Damage in Delaware County was tallied at more than $20 million, according to a state emergency management spokesman. Route 206, which suffered the heaviest damage, is open to local traffic but not to other motorists for at least the next month, said Steve Finch, Delaware's 911 coordinator.
The search continues for Barbara Clarke Cooper and Gertrude Melvin, two elderly women who were washed away in the rushing floodwater but never found. As recently as Thursday, state police were using an excavator to dig through debris in Hodge's Pond, a murky body of water that is central to the continuing search. State police Capt. Rodney Campbell said the search team will meet next week to figure out its next step.
"We're definitely not at a point where we're going to stop yet," he said.
Workers at the scene have exhausted almost every resource without finding the two women. They've used police dogs, divers, aviation, sonar and swept 100 percent of the land, Martinkovic said. On June 24, the incident command team met with the families of the missing.
"We spoke with them at length about what we had done and that we had reached an impasse," Martinkovic said. "We've gone over our tracks two and three times, but unfortunately neither of the ladies has been found."

Shipyard worker accused of theft
THIBODAUX -- A welder is accused of stealing copper from a Lafourche shipyard and selling it for more than $800 to someone else.
Christopher Loupe, 19, 142 Napoleon St., Lockport, is charged with simple burglary and simple criminal damage to property. He was taken to the Lafourche Parish jail, where he remains in lieu of a $25,000 bond.
Authorities say 2,500 feet of welding leads were stolen July 30 from Superior Shipyard in Golden Meadow. Loupe, who worked at the facility as a contract welder, was among those initially questioned about the burglary, but he denied taking the copper.
Detectives learned that Loupe was allegedly looking for a buyer for the stolen copper, which he is accused of selling for $857. Police say he confessed to stealing the copper -- allegedly using a cutting torch to cut the locked door where the leads were stored -- after failing a lie-detector test.

Tax holiday continues today
BATON ROUGE -- An annual two-day state sales-tax "holiday," enacted for the first time this year, ends today.
The law is aimed at helping parents as they buy school supplies, but it benefits anyone buying items in Louisiana on Friday and today. Shoppers will not pay the 4 percent state sales tax on purchases up to $2,500, meaning the maximum tax savings is $100.
There are exceptions. The sales-tax waiver does not apply to automobile purchases. It applies only to purchased goods -- not services such as restaurant meals, hotel rooms or tickets to entertainment events.
The waiver has no effect on local sales taxes levied by parishes, school boards and other local governments.
The waiver ends at midnight tonight.
Learn about the seafood you eat
HOUMA -- Seafood consumers in the U.S., increasingly concerned about the sustainability and quality of seafood, can now turn to a NOAA Fisheries Service Web site, FishWatch, for the latest information.
The Web site, at http://www.fish watch.noaa.gov, has information on more than 30 of the most-popular seafood species, with more species to be added in the near future.
NOAA Fisheries Service is inviting the public to visit the site and share your thoughts on what you see through the "comments" section within the next 60 days.
"Consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety, quality and sustainability of the seafood they eat," said Bill Hogarth, NOAA Fisheries Service director. "This guide brings accurate fish information available in your seafood market, and it allows consumers to make informed decisions about purchasing seafood."
The Web site includes details on population strength and status, as well as consumer information such as fat content and vitamins. FishWatch also provides economic information, such as where seafood comes from and how much money it brings to the economy.
Hogarth unveiled the FishWatch guide Friday at the fourth-annual Great American Seafood Cook-off in New Orleans.

Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve
Chirping Wren and Dragonfly
The Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve is certified by the Audubon Society, a beautiful place for an urban walk in the woods and has been called Oasis in Suburbia. You will see many very old, very big trees along the well-kept walk to the wetland boardwalks and observation platforms. It is truly a peaceful place in the middle of the hustle-bustle pace of suburbia.
Find the Kiosk at the entrance and familiarize yourself with the trail map. Head down Forest Trail toward Raccoon Rock and Indian Rock. (No, this is not a Dora adventure that ends at the Chocolate Tree.) You can see Raccoon Rock down the Beaver Pond Trail just a few steps on the right. At the top of the rock you will see a twin tree with ivy. At the base of the tree
Do not go any further on the Beaver Pond Trail. Return to the trail you were on and walk up hill. Continue past a small tree in the path until you see Indian Rock on the left. After climbing the rock, come back down and circle around to the base. The path is just a few steps down the boardwalk to the left. The box is under a couple of rocks on the right side of the base behind a small multi-trunk tree with good sized vines on it.
Continue to the end of the path. The wetland observation tower complete with a comfortable lifeguard chair is to the left. Explore and Enjoy!
For directions to the location, Google Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve.
Happy Trails

Lenovo ThinkPad T420 Sandy Bridge laptop
Lenovo ThinkPad T420 review: A 14in business laptop with 2nd Gen Intel Core technology and great features
- Good build quality, good user comfort, good performance
- Lacks USB 3.0, TrackPoint can be annoying, screen could be better
Bottom Line
The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 may be expensive, but it's aimed at professional users who want a sturdy, reliable and well-performing laptop. It runs the latest Intel Sandy Bridge CPU technology and has a solid all-round configuration.
Price$ 2,449.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 3 stores)
Special Offers
The T420 is one of Lenovo's first Sandy Bridge–based laptops, sporting a 2nd Generation Core i5-2520 CPU. It still looks like an old and faithful Lenovo though, and it has all the good features we've grown to love over the years: The matte screen, the screen-mounted keyboard light, the dual pointing devices, the comfortable keyboard and the solid build quality. It's the type of laptop any business user, programmer or Web developer would love to own.
Design, build quality and user comfort
It's one of the few laptops on the market to have a 14in screen, which we think hits the sweet spot nicely between user comfort and portability. Indeed, the T420 is a joy to use. This is not only because there is a large area on which to rest your palms while you type, it also has a very soft keyboard, which has keys that are easy to press and which are responsive. They make a dull thud when you hit them hard, but thankfully you don't have to hit them hard in order for them to leave their mark. You don't have to worry about the noise the keyboard makes when making VoIP calls, as the T420 boasts keyboard noise suppression technology. This can be enabled in the ThinkVantage Communications Utility and it worked reasonably well in our tests, although some hits were audible.
The design of the laptop's chassis is similar to what we've seen before in the Lenovo ThinkPad T Series (for example, the 15.6in ThinkPad T510) and from what we've experienced, Mac users hate it! You get a matte black chassis, metal hinges, squarish edges, and subtle status lights. It feels very well built and it doesn't make any unnecessary creaks or squeaks when you handle it.
There are speakers either side of the keyboard and volume buttons above it and the chassis is packed with features both modern and old: USB 2.0 (three ports), eSATA (it doubles as a USB 2.0 port), VGA, a combination headphone and microphone port, Gigabit Ethernet, and DisplayPort. It also has an ExpressCard/34 slot and an SD card slot, but it's missing USB 3.0 ports. You also get a webcam, Bluetooth and dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi that supports Wi-Di. A docking port is located underneath the laptop and a fingerprint reader is located out of the way on the right side of the palmrest.
There is a built-in DVD burner on the right side of the chassis. We do have a quibble with the DVD burner though; its eject button is too easy to press and we often found ourselves with an open tray after handling the right side of the laptop.
It's a reasonably cool and quiet business laptop and you can use it on your lap for a prolonged period of time without feeling too much warmth. However, you'll have to make sure that the vent on the left side doesn't get blocked. The fan near the vent spun consistently even while typing this review, but it didn't get annoyingly loud. The touchpad has little bumps on it that you get used to after a while, but when you first start using the notebook, they can be annoying.
You do have options when it comes to navigation though: You can either use the touchpad or the TrackPoint device, and you can disable the one that you don't want to use. We use both depending on where the laptop is situated. For example, the TrackPoint comes in handy when using the notebook on you lap. It's worth noting that some people who used the T420 found that the TrackPoint got in the way while touchtyping.
Like most ThinkPad business laptops, the T420 ships with ThinkVantage Tools, which allow you to manage almost every aspect of the laptop, from the power settings to the driver updates and backups. These tools can be accessed by hitting the blue ThinkVantage button above the keyboard.
The matte screen has a native resolution of 1366x768 and it isn't prone to reflections, which is perfect for office environments. It isn't great, but it has adequate brightness and contrast levels and it's easy on the eyes when it comes to creating documents and viewing photographs. However, its vertical viewing angles could be better.
Specifications, performance and battery life
On the inside, the Thinkpad T420 features the afore-mentioned Intel Core i5-2520 CPU, which is a dual-core CPU with Hyper-Threading that has a standard frequency of 2.5GHz, and it's surrounded by 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM and a 320GB, 7200rpm hard drive. There isn't a separate graphics card installed; instead, the ThinkPad T420 makes good use of the integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics in the CPU. This integrated graphics chip has adequate power for running office applications and displaying high-resolution photos. It's even good enough to run a few games, as long as you don't turn up the resolution and graphics detail.
In our Blender 3D rendering and iTunes MP3 encoding tests, the T420 recorded 40sec and 49sec, respectively, which is slightly better than what the Sony VAIO SB Series managed in the same test (both units use the same CPU). In 3DMark06, the integrated Sandy Bridge graphics returned a mark of 3492, which is an improvement on integrated Intel graphics of the past and it means that the T420 will be fine for processing videos and high-resolution photos. You can even play a few games in your downtime. The notebook's hard drive transfer rate of 39.25 megabytes per second is also a good showing.
In our battery test, in which we disable power management, enable Wi-Fi, maximise screen brightness and loop an Xvid-encoded video, the ThinkPad's 6-cell, 57 Watt-hour battery lasted 3hr 30min. This is a very good result for a 14in laptop and it's even better than the 3hr 19min achieved by the 13.3in Sony VAIO SB. You can get even more life out of it if you manage the power options properly through ThinkVantage. If you want the longest possible battery life, then you can consider getting an additional 9-cell battery slice that can be added to the bottom of the laptop.
There's definitely a lot to the ThinkPad T420 — it's a well-rounded and well-built laptop. It supplied good speed in our tests and we found it to be very comfortable to use, although some people didn't like the placement of the TrackPoint device. We think it's a good model for anyone who wants a serious computer with which to do serious work.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
