Her fiction has appeared in local newspapers and has won contests. Her short story, Missed Steps, is forthcoming in the Windsor Review. She enjoys reading literary journals, and she is actively pursuing further publication within their glossy covers.
Verse is both magnetic and kinetic. She attempts - madly- to give equal attention to her poetry, short stories, and a novel-in-progress, the Trim of Wicks. Regardless of genre, she focuses on language. One word has the power to repel or pull. She never forgets the reader and does her best to make their ride interesting.
Poetry soup is a friendly forum which enables people from around the world to share their writing. It has some great resources and provides a nice space for people to connect.
Cyndi lives in a small town in Ontario with her husband, young daughter and far too many books.
Faithfully returning to Chantry Isle-
Though just in deep reflection-I cross the lake
with a stowaway wickie who brightly smiles.
The boat , our lady, barely makes a wake.
We lean into the wind, drawing nearer
to Great Egrets crowning one weathered tree
on the sanctuary. So white the birds are,
as white as the limestone lighthouse. We
step onto a shore, approach the tower
and enter. Id forgotten how reverent
even lamps, companions to lonely hours,
bless those watchers for beacons are God-sent.
Later, a found feather is clasped like a quill,
its keeper whispers, See? There be angels!
*A wickie is a slang term for a lighthouse keeper as they were ever trimming lamp wicks.
FIRST, I REMOVED EVERY APOSTOPHE FROM MY BLOG. I got tired of fighting off killer question marks. I think this may be easier on the eye than a whole bunch of ?these?
About Chantry Island
A Chantry, also known as a chantry chapel, is a memorial or even a complete building dedicated to the memory of a person or family.
Chantry is a small island just off the shores of Southampton, Ontario with a meticulously restored lighthouse and tower, built of limestone. The Island is also a bird sanctuary, known for its Great Egrets. I long ago toured this gem of the Great Lakes and fell madly in love with its tranquility, but there was also great loneliness due to its isolation from the mainland.
This area of Lake Huron is my idea of Heaven, and we have vacationed there, often.
Once, I mentioned to an older woman if anyone had ever swum out to the Island. Her eyes widened and she beamed. So odd that I quizzed this particular woman. It turns out as a teen she was the best swimmer in the town. And she gave me the low down.
Apparently the very last keeper had a great affection for whisky. Hed go into town, overindulge and the town was so concerned hed fall into the lake and drown (the irony of this is not lost on me. How about you?) it had been this young girls job to help him (a drunk older man???) into his boat, row him back to the lighthouse and because he needed that boat, shed have to swim back to the mainland in the dark.
I almost fell over. Im telling you, I could write an entire book based around that story... If you have ever read my favourite novella, The Snow Goose, by Paul you would understand. This woman, almost 90, had me riveted. Sorry, lol, I digress. What happens when the person writing the BLOG goes off topic?
About Gail
Gail is one of our soup angels who shines her light far and wide. She writes both romantic and faith-filled poems and her blogs offer hope and words of comfort. Those blogs are quiet spaces, so restorative for those suffering tribulations. Every time I visit a Gail blog, I come away feeling more optimistic and far less stressed.
Some time ago I gave Gail the nickname Lighthouse. I believe shed posted a gorgeous lighthouse blog and I thought, well, Dear Lady, YOU are the lighthouse.
Life has not been easy for Gail. I wont say more about this, other than I have found her strength and perseverance to be a source of inspiration.
About the Poem
The words are chosen carefully, for Gail. I tried, whenever I could to use words of faith (reflection, cross, reverent, bless, crowning, sanctuary )AND words that spoke of Gails character and spirit. Words like: Lady, brightly, companion, watcher, beacon, God-sent, Angels. I tried to choose words with connotations that Gail would enjoy... like Lady, a term used for the Holy Mother, or Lamp for its usage in the New Testament. I wanted to finish the sonnet strongly, with a clear message that Gail is both a writer and a believer. While others may warn to BEWARE: THERE BE DRAGONS, Gail would lift her chin, smile and say, FEAR NOT, LOVE, THERE BE ANGELS.
Though I usually resist ending a line with a pronoun... I prefer a strong verb or noun, I wanted to use we ... I wanted to hold that word for a moment, let it dangle... a reminder that this is an imaginative piece. The we is figurative and I am building my own reality where I can whisk friends to a place never seen, show enough that they feel that they are there with me... WE...
Feel free to pounce on Gail and love her to pieces.
Feel free to discuss this form, poetic devices, tone, voice, slant rhyme ... poetry!
And feel free to just say hi, share whatever is on your mind, go off topic, rant about the weather, your diet, but
first, please blow Gail a kiss, okay?
She really deserves one.
Thanks and if youve made it this far, youre probably ready for some of that whisky mentioned above... or.... <3 Maybe one of Gails lovely blogs.
Oh, here are even BETTER pictures

Idea of the Day: The Toll of Offshoring Work
The global economy is becoming a more integrated and competitive neighborhood. Driven by new investments and the jobs that come with them, the expansion of the global economy into coordinated production and supply chains brings both benefits and opportunities. It also raises questions about the source and location of future jobs and growth.
Offshoring, the practice of moving production to foreign locales while continuing to sell goods to the U.S. market, is a pervasive feature of the U.S. economy today. Market pressures drive businesses to seek reduced production costs, often in places where standards of living and protections for workers and the environment are more lax than in the United States. Moreover, an ineffective tax structure further encourages the relocation of assets and production to foreign countries with lower costs. Policies such as a tax credit that reduces the costs a company incurs when it reshores jobs back to the United States would help slow this trend. In addition, the financial incentive to bring production back would help workers here at home, where production loss has led to broad downward pressure on wages across the economy, even in industries relatively insulated from international trade competition.

Bangalore, the "Garden City" of India
Air France offers flights for New York-Bangalore, Chicago-Bangalore, Los Angeles-Bangalore… In short, you can depart from various large US airports to the Indian city with a population of over 8 million.
Plan on at least 20 hours of travel time for a cheap flight to Bangalore and a 10:30 hour time difference with New York. Our flights always have a connection in Paris or Amsterdam.
Bangalore is located in southern India in the state of Karnataka, and it has a tropical monsoon climate. The rainy season is from May to November, the dry season is from December to April. The last month is the hottest (about 82° F). Temperatures are lower in Bangalore than in other Indian cities because it has an altitude of over 3,168 ft.
Therefore, Bangalore is known as the "garden city" of India, because it has many parks. You can take a stroll through the Lalbagh Botanical Garden or Cubbon Park.
Bangalore, the Indian Silicon Valley
The airport is especially important today because Bangalore has become a very prestigious university and scientific center, attracting many businesses to the city. They call Bangalore the Indian Silicon Valley.
Bangalore, built in 1537, is worth the trip for tourists. It was one of the seats for British government until the 19th century, when India was still an English colony.
Today, you can walk along the MG Road (Mahatma Gandhi Road), one of the city's main streets that is filled with restaurants and shops. You may visit the Bangalore Palace, the Bull Temple (Hindu temple), the Shiva Temple or the Tipu's Palace, and shop in the City Market.
Travel to Bangalore: practical information
US citizens visiting India are required to have a visa and passport that are valid for at least 180 days after departure, whether travelling as a tourist, worker, on business or as a student.

President Obama is expected to hold a jobs summit soon, as unemployment numbers continue to rise and Congress tries to produce a job creation bill to solve the problem.
The efforts, however, come amid news that an Obama administration Web site inaccurately reported jobs created by the economic stimulus package -- and it's causing some doubts.
White House Web Site Makes Errors
Recovery.gov - the White House Web site created to keep track of results of the Economic Recovery Act -- has several errors from congressional district numbers on newly created jobs, according to the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.
The White House has since acknowledged some errors and said it has "been working with the Recovery Board to find the mistakes and fix them."
Click here to read the entire White House blog post explaining the mistakes and what is being done to correct them.
The Web site listed $6.4 billion going to 440 congressional districts that don't exist. Congress only has 435 real districts.
The Franklin Center report also showed how Recovery.gov had the four American territories receiving stimulus money in their 23 congressional districts, when in fact they have zero districts.
In Washington D.C., there is just one congresswoman, but Recovery.gov shows the city has 12 congressional districts getting hefty amounts of stimulus funds.
In Arizona, the Web site has almost $35 million going to the state's 15th and 86th districts -- neither exist.
Phantom Jobs
The White House blames officials in the states for reporting their districts incorrectly. However, the investigation also found the site not only has false districts, but also false jobs.
Nine jobs were reportedly created at a Kentucky shoemaker's from just a single $890 grant. The grant was given to make just nine pairs of boots for the Army Corps of Engineers.
Also, Rep. David Obey, D-WI was infuriated when he discovered the hundreds of jobs supposedly created by a sewer project in his district - really only created five jobs.
"Fix the blessed problem so that we're getting accurate information. I don't care what people's bureaucratic niceties are, or how hard it is to do it. I mean, they've got to fix the problem, so the American people can understand what the realities are," Rep. David Obey, D-WI, said.
The Obama administration also admitted it overestimated 60,000 jobs on the Web site. But the administration pointed out the stimulus program has still created or saved some 640,000 jobs.
Meanwhile, a new report found that $98 billion in taxpayer money spent by government agencies was wasted-- about 5 percent of spending by federal programs.

Recently discovered photographs shed light on medical students in Syracuse in the 1880s
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — "Rediscovering the Class of 1885," a new exhibit at SUNY Upstate Medical University's Health Sciences Library, celebrates the recent discovery at SUNY Upstate of 25 19-century portrait photographs—the earliest original class pictures in the library's collections.
Opening April 25, the exhibit will be featured as part of the first Carol M. Baldwin Cultural Crawl April 25 and 26, and will remain on display in the library for several months. The library is located on the first floor of Weiskotten Hall, 766 Irving Ave., Syracuse. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The exhibit offers glimpses of the lives of medical students in Syracuse in the late 19th century through photographs, medical instruments, student notebooks, exams and other original documents from the library's Historical Collections.
"By telling the story of how these photographs were ?lost' for 60 years and then found, the exhibit also draws attention to the underlying question of how the historical record may be preserved—or lost—for future generations, and how our interpretation of the past may be incomplete, or faulty, if the picture itself is incomplete," said Elise Calvi, curator of Historical Collections in the Health Sciences Library.
According to Calvi, the photographs and their story were discovered in stages.
"Don Jaeger of SUNY Upstate's Pathology Department was working in a storage room in the basement of Weiskotten Hall where thousands of microscope glass slides are stored, and found the 1885 photos and others on top of 10-foot tall cabinets," said Calvi. "They were all individual portraits, but had thumbtack holes in all four corners, so I knew they must have been on display somewhere. But where and how?"
Calvi's answer came months later, when, going through some of the uncataloged negatives in the Medical Photography archive, she found a negative showing how the photographs were originally displayed. "But along with the answer to the mystery came a new intrigue, which, surprisingly, turned out to be quite relevant to the purpose of the Cultural Crawl," she said. "Visitors to the exhibit will find out the answers to these intrigues, and see how the experiences of 19th-century medical students are relevant today."
The items on exhibit are drawn from the library's Historical Collections, which includes several thousand books and journals published from the 16th through 21st centuries; documents, photographs, printed and audio-visual materials, and artifacts documenting the history of SUNY Upstate and its predecessor schools; medical instruments; papers of distinguished faculty; and other materials documenting the history of the health professions in Central New York.
SUNY Upstate's predecessor was Geneva Medical College, which was founded in 1834 as part of Geneva College. In 1871 the medical college became associated with Syracuse University. In 1950 Syracuse University sold the college to the State University of New York. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States, earned her degree from Geneva Medical College in 1849.
Visit Historical Collections on the second floor of the library and at http://www.upstate.edu/library/history/. For more information e-mail calvie@ upstate.edu or call 315-464-4585.

"We're kind of doing an episode of Glee that is on steroids," Lynch told reporters during a recent conference call, promising that her character, Sue Sylvester, will be even meaner than usual in an episode that also features McKinley High's glee club, the Cheerios and footballers teaming up as zombies for a "Thriller"-themed halftime show.
"Sue Sylvester is a little bored with her routine even though she has kids riding around on BMX bikes and jumping through fire in this one routine to Katy Perry's 'California Gurls,' " Lynch says of the episode's opening number, which some costars have called the show's most difficult dance routine yet. "She wants to top herself."
So Sue purchases a human cannon with the intention of shooting out airheaded cheerleader Brittany. But when Principal Figgins puts the kibosh on Sue's scheming, she throws two tantrums.
Says Lynch: "It was definitely Sue Sylvester on the warpath."
The consequences of her actions during the Super Bowl episode will play out throughout the end of this season as her character suffers a loss with the Cheerios.
"She becomes very, very depressed, and she becomes kind of dangerously depressed, where she's more violent than usual," says Lynch.
To lift the curmudgeonly cheer coach's spirits, the glee kids convince her to join up.
"I'm actually in the glee club for a while," says Lynch. "They find that through raising her voice in song, it kind of lifts her and she gets out of her depression."

Loan Modification and the Second Lien Program
The U.S. government yesterday announced details of new plan aimed at helping distressed homeowners modify second mortgages. The Second Lien Program is slated to work in tandem with first lien modifications offered under the government's Making Home Affordable Program to deliver a "comprehensive affordability solution for struggling borrowers," says the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Second mortgages can create significant challenges in helping borrowers avoid foreclosure, even when a first lien is modified. Up to 50 percent of at-risk mortgages have second liens, and many properties in foreclosure have more than one lien. Under the Second Lien Program, when one of the government's Home Affordable Modification's is initiated on a first lien, servicers participating in the Second Lien Program will automatically reduce payments on the associated second lien according to a pre-set protocol. Alternatively, servicers will have the option to extinguish the second lien in return for a lump sum payment under a pre-set formula determined by the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury.
Yesterday's announcement may make it easier for borrowers to modify or refinance their loans under FHA's Hope for Homeowners program. Here are two examples of how the program could work:
Family A: Amortizing Second Mortgage
- In 2006: Family A took out a 30-year closed-end second mortgage with a balance of $45,000 and an interest rate of 8.6%.
- Today: Family A has an unpaid balance of almost $44,000 on their second mortgage.
- Under the Second Lien Program: The interest rate on Family A's second mortgage will be reduced to 1% for five years. This will reduce their annual payments by over $2,300.
- After those five years, Family A's mortgage payment will rise again but to a more moderate level.
Family B: Interest-Only Second Mortgage
- In 2006: Family B took out an interest-only second mortgage with a balance of $60,000, an interest rate of 4.4%, and a term of 15 years.
- Today: Family B has $60,000 remaining on their interest-only second mortgage because none of the principal was paid down.
- Under the Second Lien Program: The interest rate on Family B's interest-only second mortgage will be reduced to 2% for five years. This will reduce their annual interest payments by $1,440.
- After those five years, Family B's mortgage payment will adjust back up and the mortgage will amortize over a term equal to the longer of (i) the remaining term of the family's modified first mortgage (e.g. 27 years if the first mortgage had a 30 year term at origination and was three years old at the time of modification) or (ii) the originally scheduled amortization term of the second mortgage.
Here's what U.S. Dept. of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has to say about the Second Lien Program:
"With these latest program details, we're offering even more opportunities for borrowers to make their homes more affordable under the Administration's housing plan. Ensuring that responsible homeowners can afford to stay in their homes is critical to stabilizing the housing market, which is in turn critical to stabilizing our financial system overall. Every step we take forward is done with that imperative in mind."

When superstorm Sandy barreled into Long Island last October, it flooded Raina Brett Russo's home.
"Basically, the ocean and the bay came together in my living room," Ms. Russo says. "It hit us really hard."
The basement and first floor were underwater, three cars were flooded, and to the amazement of her neighbors, the power did not come back on any sooner than theirs. With 10.4 kilowatts' worth of solar panels bolted to her roof and undamaged, shouldn't the Russo house have been an oasis of light and power?

A simple plan to "Save Our Society."
We don't have an insufficient revenue problem in Washington, we have an overspending problem. If government interference and over regulation would be reduced, jobs would be created, private industry would prosper and more than sufficient tax revenue would be generated.
I propose:
Establish a flat tax rate equal for everyone.
Congress cannot spend more than it takes in, i.e. a balanced budget.
The federal deficit is to be reduced by a minimum of 10 percent each year and be at zero in 10 years.
The president, Congress and their aids will not be eligible for:
A paycheck.
A retirement package.
If points 2 and 3 don't happen and a tax hike is not permitted to accomplish this.
Congress could be eligible for bonus pay, within reason, if they accomplish this plan.
This will hopefully be an incentive to get both parties working together.
This is a common sense plan to save our country and our future.

Second Call for Papers - Conference: 5-7 April 2004
The UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH, in conjunction with the
South African Historical Association.
In 2004 Stellenbosch history department, the oldest of
its kind at an Afrikaans university and one of the
oldest in South Africa, commemorates its centenary.
This important milestone presents an opportunity for
reflection on the influence of the department on the
making of history and historians in South Africa. Both
for good and for bad, the department has had a
significant impact - an impact that requires
re-evaluation and re-framing in the broader context of
the discipline of history. The department's centenary
also offers an occasion for stocktaking in the
discipline as it has been practiced on South African
history over the past century, both locally and abroad.
We believe that occasions such as these that revolve
around memory can serve as an instrument for restoring
the knowledge of the past that has been suppressed or
no longer forms part of public consciousness. Equally
we accept that memory can both be a tool to deepen
reflection and also to provide the basis for action and
Here we look at the memory of the discipline, from the
position of a post-colonial, post-Apartheid,
post-Mandela Southern African context, in order to
consider in more nuanced ways on the production of
history itself.
We welcome papers on the following themes: ·
Developments in the writing of gendered history ·
Re-historicising issues of identity and identity
creation · The public and social role of the historian
· Handling heritage: museums and the social
construction of memory · Afro-pessimism, the African
Renaissance and Africanist history · The contribution
offered by environmental history · The history of
science and medicine · The role of regional and
community histories in the new dispensation · Language,
culture and perceptions · The history of sexualities ·
Historiography, interdisciplinary and theoretical
approaches to the writing of history · Family history
and the development of the history of childhood as a
sub- field · Developments in economic and labour
history · The history of pleasure and leisure · The
history of technology and the @-factor · The role of a
new cultural history?
For the international community we add: Renowned for

This CD is Awesome
on 6/17/2008
I had not really thought about George Michaels in years, but after seeing him on American Idol, I was hooked again. This CD is great it has all of the old favorites and much much more. I would recommend this to all George Michaels fans.

In some areas, especially along the U.S. coastline, polluted runoff from roads and highways may be the largest source of water pollution. For example, approximately 75 percent of the toxic chemicals getting into Seattle's Puget Sound are carried by stormwater that runs off paved roads, driveways, rooftops, yards, and other developed land, according to a report by the Washington State Department of Ecology. This, however, does not only affect coastal areas. In Indiana alone, more than 100 million tons of sediment erodes annually from urban and agricultural landscapes, according to the town of Brownsburg, Ind., website. In addition to sediment, as stormwater flows through a construction site, it can pick up other pollutants such as debris, pesticides, petroleum products, chemicals, solvents, asphalts, and acids, which also contribute to water quality problems.
To move closer to providing a solution to these new mandates, product advancements in stormwater management now provide engineers and developers with improved alternatives to capture sediment runoff from construction sites and meet new EPA regulations. For example, TYPAR Geocells, manufactured by Fiberweb, an international geotextiles manufacturer based in Tennessee, are composed of a durable, nonwoven fabric in a honeycomb configuration. Geocells are three-dimensional geotextiles that can be filled with aggregate or mulch to produce a stable, self-supported, erosion and sediment structure. Water flows through the structure while soil particles are retained, thereby reducing turbidity in stormwater runoff.
TYPAR Geocells are designed to survive major storm events and significantly reduce turbidity. During a large-scale field study, a severe and unexpected rain event allowed researchers to evaluate the survivability of TYPAR Geocells. The ability of TYPAR Geocells to reduce turbidity was evaluated in controlled, small-scale tests and large-scale field studies.
Surviving a 1,000-year rain event
The ability to survive severe storm events without being washed away is one of the most important functions of any best management practice (BMP) used in stormwater management. This was put to the test during a two-day span in Nashville, Tenn., where the city experienced an excess of 13 inches of rain — more than doubling the previous record of 6.68 inches. In fact, the rainfall was so severe that the Army Corps of Engineers classified it as a 1,000-year rain event. While the conventional rock check dams made of 4- to 6-inch aggregate at the field study site were washed out, TYPAR Geocells, which were filled with 4- to 6-inch aggregate, remained intact.
Putting geocells to the test
To test the efficacy of TYPAR Geocells in sediment and erosion control applications, Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) of Franklin, Tenn., initiated a series of comparative small-scale flume tests. The turbidity reduction capabilities of TYPAR Geocells filled with shredded wood mulch was compared with a standard silt fence and a 9-inch straw wattle. The results indicated that the TYPAR Geocells with mulch outperformed both comparative products when examining effluent quality, relative to suspended solids and turbidity.
To expand upon the small-scale flume tests, full-scale field studies were initiated. Identical research plots were designed and constructed at a landfill facility in Tennessee. The turbidity-reduction capability of TYPAR Geocells filled with shredded wood mulch was compared with 12-inch straw wattles. For the straw wattle, the average daily turbidity limit of 280 NTUs was exceeded 78.6 percent of the time during the study period from September 2009 through April 2010, excluding the data taken during the 1,000-year rain event in May 2010. For TYPAR Geocells with mulch, the average daily limit was never exceeded during the study period from September 2009 through April 2010. The study continues to investigate methods for achieving the new EPA guidelines.
Call for innovation
New stormwater regulations have created unprecedented challenges for managing construction erosion and sediment control because traditional erosion control products are often overwhelmed by the soil and water movement these solutions are intended to prevent. The practice of stormwater management is evolving and now requires innovative approaches applied at the site level to ensure our rivers, streams, and ponds are not contaminated by sediment runoff from construction sites.

About the collections

Photo: Karen Atkinson
The Henry Moore Institute oversees the administration and curatorial development of the sculpture collections of Leeds Museums and Galleries. This partnership has built one of the strongest collections of British sculpture in the country. The collections are housed next door to the Institute in Leeds Art Gallery, where the Henry Moore Institute curates the sculpture displays.
The Institute also has responsibility for sculptural works displayed at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, country houses on the outskirts of Leeds that are a part of the Leeds Museum Service. Successive directors of the Art Gallery, including Phillip Hendy (1934-45) and Robert Rowe (1958-83), helped establish a reputation for the perceptive collecting of modern and contemporary artworks.
It was with the introduction of support from The Henry Moore Foundation in 1982 through the establishment of the Henry Moore Centre for the Study of Sculpture that Leeds really confirmed its status as an international centre for the study and appreciation of sculpture.
Today the Leeds sculpture collections comprise over 800 objects, 400 works on paper and the Henry Moore Institute Archive of over 270 collections of papers relating to sculptors. The collections are principally British from c.1875 to the present day. They narrate the development of sculpture being made in Britain as broadly as possible, representing neglected practitioners as well as established ones, using the works on paper collection to represent the scope of contemporary practice alongside acquisitions of three-dimensional work. Often new acquisitions to the sculpture collection are accompanied by acquisitions to the Henry Moore Institute Archive.
In recent years there has been a particular focus on conceptual, performance, photographic and other expanded sculptural forms and definitions from the 1960s and 1970s, which traditionally have been considered difficult to collect and are underrepresented in museum collections of sculpture.
The collections actively acquire through both donation and purchase, with the sculpture and archive collections complemented by the Henry Moore Institute Research Library providing invaluable material for research on the holdings. Together the collections form a fuller teaching and study resource than any other national or regional collection, complementing the wider scholarly initiatives of the Henry Moore Institute.

Harold Ramis talks 'Year One,' 'Ghostbusters III'
Apparently, director Harold Ramis has had the concept for "Year One" rolling around in his head for more than a decade. The comedy mastermind conceded that "very few young people are interested in religion," but hoped the film - starring Jack Black and Michael Cera - would at least carry some political and philosophical underpinnings between gags and hot babes.
The Ocean Pictures/Apatow Company production kicks off in a cave-man township, with typically oafish Black (Zed) and characteristally awkward Cera (Oh) as the village outcasts, both with unattainable lusts for the local hotties.
In a move of defiance, Zed eats forbidden fruit from the tree in Cro-Magnon Eden and is forced out, taking Oh with him. From there, Ramis leads the pair through a few Old Testament Bible stories, including encounters with Cain -- David Cross -- and Abel (shock humor), the formation of Jewish law under Abraham (penis jokes) and pre-destruction of Sodom (sex, gay, drugs, fun!). Throughout, though, there is the questioning of authority, whether God-given or forcefully attained.
"I realized... that no matter how far back you go into history, humans have the same needs," Ramis said ambiguously during a roundtable chat in New York earlier this week, revealing, too, that his Rabbi was amongst the stars littering the movie's premiere.
Those human needs, obviously, include laughter, which Ramis achieves easily through "the "spirit of" Judd Apatow and decades of cinematic guffaws, from his origins at Second City, writing "Animal House," directing "Caddyshack" and unforgettable role in "Ghostbusters," "Knocked Up" and beyond.
But even in Caddyshack, nobody actually eats "doody," a feat that can't be spared in "Year One." Has humor gotten grosser?
"[Year One] is not pandering. We know our demographic," Ramis says, citing his 14- and 19-year-old sons. "I made this movie with them in mind. I tap into that adolescent part of my brain."
A fair share of adults, of course, wanted in on the action. Actors like Paul Rudd, Oliver Platt and Hank Azaria play significant roles in the film, and a slew of comedy lovers - including "Saturday Night Live" cast like Andy Samberg. "It wasn't that he wasn't funny [in auditions]. It was like, 'God, what am I gonna do with Andy Samberg?'" Ramis says.
The actor/director/writer said little about any other upcoming projects, including long-gestating "Ghostbusters III." The original 'Busters themselves will continue in the same roles and Ramis' involvement has always been in the contractual cards. Writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg - who co-penned "Year One" with Ramis and are leading men behind the scripts for "The Office" - are the screenplay writers for GB3.

Hi Experts,
I need to expose a RFC function module as Web Service. Our ECC6.0 system runs on ABAP stack and not on Java stack...
When I select on "Open Web Service navigator for selected binding" I am getting the below mentioned error
J2EE host or port not specified; define them under "System Settings"
Could one of you please help me to sort out this error ASAP...
Thanks in Advance,
Hi Vinoth,
Try to provide the J2EE system settings under Technical configuration - System Global settings - Access information J2EE server in SOAMANAGER.
Hi Madhu,
We dont have Java stack installed... Is it a mandatory thing to specify J2EE port configuration?
The J2EE stack is only mandatory if you want to use the SAP Web Service Navigator to test your ECC abap web services.
It is perfectly possible to use an other web service test utility. There are plenty of them available as free software.
If your ECC 6 system is only abap stack (as usual), the web service navigator which needs a J2EE stack will not run.
BUT if you have a java stack on another system it is possible to use it.
For example, for testing ECC 6 web services, I am running the web service navigator from my CRM 2007 dual stack development system.
Thanks Oliver.. Based on ur reply my problem got solved. It was same issue, that our ECC doesnt have the java stack and i try running it in CRM 2007 it went successfully.
Can you let me know how can we proceed in ECC? Installing Java stack or accessing J2EE server through XI. If through XI then how to deploy the service.
Well you just launch SOAMANAGER from your ECC6 system and choose :
Technical Configuration --> System Global Settings --> Tab : Access Information J2EE server
And you enter here the hostname and port of the java stack you have decided to use (maybe XI for you, CRM for me).
Of course you need to have manage the web service navigator authorisation and white list as it is described in help.sap.com and has been explainded numerous times in this forum.
Could you share how did you do this setup? This is my first experience with this issue. I've tried to do using SOAMANAGER, no suceed ! I really appreciate if you could share some tip to fix that.
I appreciate your help in that.
Alan Rocj Brz
Hi Alan,
At which point do you get stuck or what do you see when you try to set this up using SOAMANAGER?
Regards, Trevor
Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your response. When I try to test a WebService for GRC 10.0 (GRAC_REQUEST_STATUS_WS) in Soamanager, Im receiving that error J2EE host or port not specified; define them under "System Seetings". I though that was happening because I did not install AS Java on this server, but when I saw this post of Olivier I've tried to setup a host and port of a Java System of my landscape. I followed the instruction that I saw in other post but I couldn't setup. I'm asking for help or tip about how to setup these information to fix the problem. I don't want to install a new Java Instance on my system to make a test, it is unnecessary.
Cheers !
Hi Alan,
You need an SAP Java stack somewhere in your system landscape to do this WSNavigator test. If you have one, you will need to point to it from GRC SOAMANAGER --> Technical Administration tab.
However, the look and layout of this Technical Administration tab differs depending on the Netweaver version you are running. What do you see when you go to the Technical Administration tab?
Alternatively, if you don't have an SAP Java stack somewhere in your system landscape, you can use any SOAP test tool like SoapUI, XMLSpy...
Regards, Trevor
Hi Trevor,
Attached the Technical Adminsitration tab view screenshot. I think is different of the examples that I found in the threads. I didnt't find the suggested options of posts, could you check if for me?
In paralell I will search about other tips you shared as SOAP test tool
Hi Alan,
Try this link, it should get you closer to where you need to be:
Be careful with point 6, you will need to verify the version of the Java stack you will be pointing to.
Regards, Trevor
Hi Trevor,
I did as you adviced me and it worked ! I don't have more the error message ! I've asked for our GRC Team to do tests and make sure that everything is working.
I would like to thank you for your help and support, you were providential
Thank you so much !

Strung out along Buraimi-Nizwa highway (Highway 21) more or less in the middle of nowhere, IBRI sees few foreign visitors, although it boasts a surprisingly absorbing cluster of traditional sights including a fine fort, interesting souk and one of the region's most memorable walled mudbrick villages at nearby As Suleif. The town was formerly a stronghold of Ibadhi conservatism, though modern Ibri derives its importance from its proximity to Fahud, where Oman's first oil was discovered in 1964.
The main sight in town is the large and carefully restored fort. Inside, the spacious gravel courtyard is surrounded by an interesting jumble of buildings and towers. To the right of the entrance stands the main defensive tower, an impressive three-storey structure; to the left, the remains of a mudbrick mosque with a deep well built into the platform alongside; and, on the far side of the courtyard, a residential building. Head left across the courtyard, through a second gateway, to reach a subsidiary courtyard, where steps lead up to a sizeable mosque, one of the largest in any Omani fort and still in use today, although kitted out with eyesore modern glass windows and metal pillars. This is actually only half the fort; the rest, beyond the mosque, remains closed to the public.
The area around the fort is significantly less manicured, but ultimately much more memorable, with dozens of imposing mudbrick houses (and a particularly fine ruined mosque opposite the fort) in various states of ruin, dotted here and there with little patches of dead oasis with decapitated palm trees. It's a perfect picture of the physical passing of old Oman – intensely atmospheric, and rather sad. Pressed up hard against the west wall of the fort is the town's attractive old souk, including some neat little arcaded sections.

The Fifth Estate?
February 2, 2009 - Rob Weaver
The term "Fourth Estate" has been applied to journalists. A long time ago, the term referred to newspapers and/or the reporters and editors who worked for them. Nowadays, it can be applied more broadly to those who work in electronic media.
For a long time, I assumed the first three "estates" the phrase implies were the legislative, administrative and judicial branches of government. But subsequent research has traced its origin to Edmund Burke, who was a politician in Britain in the 1700s. At least according to Thomas Carlyle, who wrote "Heros and Hero Worship in History" that "Burke said that there were three Estates in Parliament, but in the Reporters Gallery yonder, there sat a fourth Estate more important far than they all."
I'd like to update that concept by calling the news media the Fifth Estate. The modern Fourth Estate, due to its close, direct ties to the government, would be the banking industry. This industry not only is intrinsic in helping to carry out U.S. monetary policy, but has been crucial — some might say complicit — in fostering U.S. housing policy.
This thought occurred to me when pondering why the administrative and legislative branches have been loath to loan U.S. automakers a fraction — as in about one-thirtieth — of the hundreds of billions of dollars being poured into the financial industry.
Automobiles are just personal transporation. Money is the lifeblood of the economy.

MANDALAY — Japanese experts are training Burmese archeology officials in using high-tech techniques to maintain the country's many aging wooden buildings, officials said.
A group from both countries is currently surveying the Bagaya Monastery, a structure at Ava, Mandalay Division, that was built from teak in 1834 and is thought to be one of Burma's oldest surviving wooden structures. It is hoped skills passed on by Japanese experts will help Burma to preserve many similar buildings that are at risk from the elements and termites.
The work is part of a three-year Japanese assistance project with Burma's Ministry of Culture. Twelve Burmese engineers and architects are being trained by experts from the National Research Institute for Culture Properties in Tokyo and the Japanese Association for Conservation of Architectural Monuments, with the collaboration of Burma's Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library.
Katsura Sato, an architect from the Tokyo-based institute, said the survey this month was the second phase of work on the Bagaya Monastery, and involved collecting data on decaying teak wood pillars. The first phase involved collecting data on the main structure and wooden decorations, and was finished in May.
"Our mission is to train Burmese architects and engineers in data collection, how to
maintain the building without harming the original structure and how to prevent weathering and damage from insects, not only to this building but many other ancient wooden structures across the country," she explained.
Lwin Mar Oo, assistant director of Burma's Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library, said the group had learned advanced techniques from the Japanese experts.
"We've been working in traditional ways to maintain the ancient buildings for many years," she said. "The ancient structures are not a substitutable heritage. We now can learn the technology and how to use chemicals to prolong conservation, which the Japanese have used to maintain their own century-old wooden structures."
Built during the reign of King Bagyidaw in the former Burmese capital of Ava (or Inwa), the monastery, which stands atop 267 teak wood pillars, is now 180 years old. The Japanese experts estimate that one third of the Bagaya Monastery is badly damaged.
"One-third of the pillars are decaying due to termites and weather. There are many hollow pillars and some are out of position. Only a quarter of the floor outside of the main building is in good shape," said Kimura Kazuo, a senior conservation architect and head of the planning division at the Japanese Association for Conservation of Architectural Monuments.
He said that while the building would remain standing for some years, the Burmese government would have to conduct major restoration work.
Also important to the conservation of the Bagaya Monastery is to prevent exposure to the rain, which damages the wood, he said.
"The road is higher than the base of the monastery. All the water flows under the monastery and affects the wooden pillars. Too much exposure to water is the main cause that allows termites and other insect to destroy the wood," he said.
"If we can't prevent this, the restoration work will be in vain."

Will Arnett on whether the media made the 'Arrested Development' happen
"When in Rome" is going to have a tough time knocking off "Avatar" and Mel Gibson's "Edge of Darkness" at the box office this weekend, but that doesn't mean that the Kristen Bell/Josh Duhamel romantic comedy doesn't have it's moments.
The flick features some intriguing supporting performances by "Napoleon Dynamite's" Jon Heder and "Blades of Glory's" Will Arnett. Both actors play characters who are "magically" in desperate love with Bell's character after she picks up their "wish coins" from a famous Italian fountain. The over-the-top scenario finds Heder mocking Chris Angel with his wannabe magician turn and Arnett puts on an intentionally flimsy Italian accent as an intensely passionate painter. HitFix spoke to both men a few weeks ago about the flick and both made it two of the more entertaining sit downs of the new year.
Heder impressed with some real magic tricks (seriously) and the Arnett conversation fell into a conversation about basketball, hockey, the director of 'Daredevil' tackling a romantic comedy and whether the media pushed the "Arrested Development" movie into production.
Well worth watching and "When in Rome" is now playing nationwide.

The University of Texas-Pan American recently announced the appointment of Dr. Calvin D. Phillips to fill the position of associate vice president and dean of students in the Division of Enrollment and Student Services. He started his job on Aug. 1.
Phillips most recently served since 2006 as associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs at Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, N.C., one of 105 Historically Black College or Universities (HBCU) nationwide as designated by the Higher Education Act of 1965. He was one of three finalists for the position after an extensive national search.
"Dr. Phillips believes in providing an environment that fosters the intellectual, psychological, physical, social and career development of college students. He believes that we should educate the whole person in their time here at UTPA," McMillan said.
At Winston-Salem, Phillips oversaw the university's counseling center, student health services, housing and residence life and judicial affairs and was responsible for crisis, human resources and facility management; strategic and budgetary planning; program and professional development; and assessment of initiatives. In addition he oversaw the full accreditation of Winston-Salem's student health services from the Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc., the first HBCU nationwide to obtain this accreditation.
Phillips said he was attracted to the position at UTPA due to a number of factors.
"I would have to say I was interested in the position because of the areas of responsibilities, the quality of academic programs at this institution and the students that The University of Texas-Pan American attracts," he said.
In his role at UTPA, Phillips will oversee the following departments: Student Development, Residence Life, Student Health Services, Wellness and Recreational Sports Complex, Student Life and Transition Services, Child Development Center and the Student Union.
Phillips said he looks forward to working toward accomplishing his short and long term goals as dean.
"I want to create a co-curriculum and services that will help retain and graduate our students. I also want to ensure that our division utilizes best practices in the field which in turn will provide quality services to our students," he said.
Phillips earned his Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education Social Studies in 1988 from Oklahoma State University; his Master of Arts in Student Personnel in 1991 from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania; and his Doctorate of Education in Administration and Leadership Studies in 1992 from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2002.
While at Winston-Salem, he also served as an adjunct professor teaching freshman seminar. Prior to that, from 2003 to 2006, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, Counseling and Postsecondary Education at the University of Northern Iowa. He also served in increasingly responsible administrative positions in the area of student and enrollment services at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania from 1993-1998.
He is a member of a number of professional organizations including the American College Personnel Association and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators and is a frequent presenter at professional organization conferences on topics related to student affairs administration.
Phillips said he enjoys reading and spending time with his wife Dr. Sharia K. Phillips and four sons ages five, four, three and two. He also has a daughter age 13 who lives in Indianapolis, Ind. His wife will teach this next academic year in the Department of English at UTPA.

FLINT, MICHIGAN - The technology Kettering University used to design safer child safety seats was apparently inspired by Hollywood stuntmen.
Dorel Juvenile Group, which worked with Kettering's Crash Safety Center to design new seats safer from side impact, borrowed some of Hollywood's tricks, according to a New York Times blog this week.
The child seat manufacturer apparently adapted the old technology live performers used to drop hundreds of feet and land uninjured, to a new technology to make child car seats safer.
The university worked for nearly 18 months to help Dorel Industries design a new car seat to protect children from side-impact collisions.
Air Protect is expected to go on the market in August and will be available in the Safety 1st Complete Air car seat.

Fashion's Four Seasons
The Bushes are back and so, declares a New York fashionista, are Reagan-era looks and colors. "Sandra Bullock is the new Geena Davis," image consultant David Kibbe has told New York Observer columnist Simon Doonan. "Pop stars are blond and all look the same -- Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera -- so Elizabeth Taylor is still a potent icon." Doonan suggests that everyone re-read the '80s self-help bestseller "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson, who explained that people need to dress according to what season they are. Toni Tennille was an autumn. Today, Penélope Cruz is. (They tend to have dark hair and dark eyes.) Queen Elizabeth and Charlize Theron, it so happens, are summers. (They can be green -- or brown-eyed.) Other examples: Nicole Kidman, Faith Hill, Matt Damon and Jude Law are springs; Elizabeth Hurley, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake and Steven Spielberg are summers; Ben Affleck, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dylan McDermott are winters; and Julia Roberts, Russell Crowe, Hilary Swank and Brad Pitt are all autumns. Who knew?

In these days when the quest for health includes all sorts of efforts to prevent disease and prolong life, there is something almost criminal in the reckless abandon with which certain agencies are permitted to continue their menace of life and limb. Asserting that the care of individual and family health is the first and most patriotic duty of a citizen, Chief Justice Taft has urged a more vigorous attack on the factors that may impair the efficiency of the race. While it is true, he remarks, that to the public mind there is a more lurid and spectacular menace in such diseases as smallpox, yellow fever and plague, medical men and public health workers are beginning to realize that, with the warfare against such maladies well organized, it is now time to give attention to the heavy loss from lowered physical efficiency and chronic, preventable disease—a loss exceeding in

An Indian citizen wanted by the Canadian government for skipping out on his 2005 drug trafficking trial in Canada is awaiting extradition in the Potter County jail, records show.
U.S. Marshals arrested Sukdev Singh Virk, 47, last Thursday after U.S. Magistrate Judge Clinton E. Averitte approved the arrest warrant for Virk on Oct. 26, according to court records.
Canadian authorities arrested Virk on Sept. 1, 2003, and prosecutors charged him with importing 7.7 pounds of cocaine and about 88 pounds of marijuana in his commercial truck that had a shipment of California produce.
Police caught Virk as he crossed the U.S.-Canada border from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, the complaint said.
At his March 2005 trial, when Virk was free on bail, he absconded on the scheduled date for closing arguments, court records show.
Prosecutors continued with the case, and a judge found Virk guilty on June 30, 2005, the complaint said.
The judge sentenced Virk to seven years in prison on each charge and ordered the sentences run concurrently, according to court records.
The Amarillo Police Department located Virk at a city hospital after he was detained for causing a disturbance on a bus and was ordered to be mentally assessed, the complaint said.
Virk was subsequently found to be mentally fit, court records said.

CBNNews.com - SDEROT, Israel - The government failed to meet one of its two stated goals for Operation Lead Shield in the Gaza Strip, namely to stop Palestinian rocket fire on southern Israeli communities.
By 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning, six Kassam rockets hit Sderot, plunging some residents into despair.
Rachel Ben-Yaish, 66, who grew up, married and raised children in Sderot, looked around her upscale dress shop and cried for the first time since the start of the Gaza operation.
"Where can I go?" she asked Jerusalem Post correspondent Shelly Paz through her tears. "I can't start over at my age, and it doesn't seem like the rocket-firing will ever stop," she said.
"I opened the store because they said it was over, but nothing is over and I need to have something to pay for my food," she said.
"I don't ask anything else -- just to go to the grocery store with a little bit of pride," she said, tears escaping from the corner of her eyes.
"No one buys this kind of clothing these days. I have an inventory of nearly $200,000, and I have no money to buy food," she said.
Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu, who spoke with reporters from the city's police station Sunday morning, encouraged residents to remain strong in the face of continuing rocket attacks.
"It's not over," Netanyahu said, referring to the ongoing rocket attacks.
"It is clear Hamas is still here, and we have to remove the threat," he said.
"We must show strength, just as the residents of Sderot have demonstrated strength over the past years," the Likud chairman said.
The first polls following the government's announcement of a unilateral cease-fire Saturday evening continue to give Likud a sizable lead in the national elections to be held in three weeks.

Eczema is actually just another word for dermatitis, which is an inflammation of the skin. There are many types of dermatitis, but the term eczema has come to be associated with a specific type of dermatitis, called atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, noncontagious condition that causes itchy, inflamed skin. Atopic dermatitis (eczema) most commonly affects the insides of the elbows, the backs of the knees, and the face, but it can affect any area of the body and in rare cases may cover most of the body.
Although eczema can develop at any age, it is most common in infants and children. It is estimated that 65% of people with eczema develop symptoms in the first year of life, and 90% develop symptoms before age five. The condition often improves in adulthood, but 50% of those affected as children are affected throughout life.
A Baby With Eczema
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
In the United States, it is estimated that 15 million people have eczema.
The exact cause of eczema is still unknown, but current theories suggest that it is related to an abnormal immune response and genetic factors. Eczema is often associated with other hereditary allergic disorders such as
hay fever
Eczema flare-ups may be triggered by:
What are the risk factors for eczema?What are the symptoms of eczema?How is eczema diagnosed?What are the treatments for eczema?Are there screening tests for eczema?How can I reduce my risk of eczema?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with eczema?Where can I get more information about eczema?

People unite
People stand up
Look at ourselves
And what we've become
We build our lives, our society
On information technology
We put our trust in bits and bytes
Power consumption
Turn off the lights
Too many options for us to care
Too many choices vanish in the air
What's it good for?
Have we lost the way?
Things that matters
Have they come astray?
People unite
People stand up
Look at ourselves
And what we've become
Our lives are spinning way too fast
No common sense reflect the past
Where are we heading
No one can tell
Are we too scared to break the spell?

This peaceful and secluded campsite is a rural heaven with beautiful views extending over the surrounding countryside and for some, panoramic views across to Wales. The area around the campsite is a walker's paradise, with many walks to be enjoyed direct from site. At Lynton and Lynmouth the South West Coast Path, Two Moors Way, Tarka Trail and Samaritans Way SW meet up providing many more walking opportunities including exploring the Exmoor National Park. For days out don't miss Watersmeet, one of Britain's deepest river gorges. Enjoy a woodland walk and take refreshment at the National Watersmeet House. Glen Lyn Gorge south of Lynton offers a mix of waterfalls and pools plus a water power exhibition. Animal attractions include Exmoor Zoo, Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park or take a boat from Lynmouth Harbour and get close to nesting birds on England's highest cliffs.

Work Orders: West Erie home an eyesore
PROBLEM: Unoccupied home
Neighbors have complained about the house at 416 Cherry St.
The two-story home with powder-blue siding is unoccupied. Plywood covers the large first-floor front window and the entry door.
The owner, Frank H. Dix, purchased the property in 2003, according to Erie County property records. Attempts to contact Dix were unsuccessful.
SOLUTION: File a complaint
Although neighbors complained about the home's appearance to the Erie Times-News, Erie code enforcement officials have no record of formal complaints on file with the city.
Erie Code Enforcement officer Donna Carson said a check of the department's database shows no outstanding property code violations.

Porsche might not have official plans to produce a two-door version of its redesigned Cayenne SUV.
But if that's what you're looking for, British tuner Merdad has designed a Cayenne with two fewer doors and an even higher Scoville rating.
The Cayenne pictured will offer a unique body kit, and the package can be applied to the first- or second-generation Cayenne. The tuning house stoked the Cayenne's 4.8-liter V-8 to produce over 700 horsepower, to reportedly do the 0-60 sprint in under five seconds.
Sure to be a hit in areas where wealth, power, and off-road capability are abundant necessities (Abu Dhabi, anyone?), we'll know more details as soon as Merdad releases them.
