Peter J. F. M. Lohuis, MD, PhD, and colleagues describe their results using the split hump technique (SHT) in aesthetic rhinoplasty while emphasizing the additional advantage of this approach. The SHT allows for a more controlled reduction of the nasal dorsum with preservation of the entire upper lateral cartilage (ULC) during deprojection. This, in turn, enables more precise resection of the ULCs and less destabilizing of the key area. Ninety-seven patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons using the SHT were evaluated for aesthetic contentment and functional satisfaction recorded by a questionnaire. Results demonstrate a significant subjective increase in both aesthetic and functional outcomes. The authors strongly recommend the use of the SHT to rhinoplasty surgeons.
Doo Hee Han, MD, PhD, and colleagues present a retrospective review regarding functional and aesthetic outcomes of methods used for nasal alar reconstruction in Asian patients while stating the criteria for selection of these methods. Although outcomes and criteria have been studied in Western populations, this is the first study in Asian people. The study consists of 17 patients, of whom 2 are described as representative cases. Objective and subjective aesthetic outcomes are evaluated along with subjective functional findings. Results show that the size and depth of the defect primarily affects the choice of reconstruction in Asian patients. The authors propose a working algorithm for reconstruction of nasal alar defects with respect to these 2 components.
Derek J. Lam, MD, MPH, and colleagues question the relationship between cleft width and other risk factors with occurrence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). A total of 61 patients with isolated cleft palates (Veau type 2) are retrospectively surveyed for the presence of VPI, and the correlation with various parameters, including width and length of cleft, type of surgery, and age at which the operation was performed, are analyzed. Results show a significantly higher overall rate of VPI in subjects with a cleft width greater than 10 mm. The authors conclude that cleft width should be considered as a prognostic indicator of postoperative VPI, regardless of the Veau type.
John S. Rhee, MD, MPH, and colleagues demonstrate the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-aided virtual surgery planning in evaluating the effects of individual components of functional nasal airway surgery. They accomplish this by evaluating nasal airway resistance and airflow allocation in preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional digital nasal models created from computed tomographic images. Results prove that septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction have the highest impact on reduction of nasal resistance, but the authors also state that contribution from nasal valve repair surgery is significant. They conclude with the proposition that CFD-aided surgery may be used for preoperative planning for a more successful outcome in patients with multifactorial anatomic nasal airway obstruction.

Deepen Meditation, Access Intuition, Nurture Healing and Renewal
We all seek a state of higher consciousness that awakens and enlivens our whole being. Masters of meditation and yoga, great artists, inventors, and highly accomplished people in many walks of life have learned to develop and live from such a state.
British researcher and Zen master C. Maxwell Cade spent decades analyzing the brainwave patterns of these extraordinary people. He discovered that they each shared a common pattern of brainwaves, which Cade called the "awakened-mind pattern," which he believed holds the key to tapping into one's highest potential for clarity of mind, deep insight, creative inspiration, and peak performance.
Created by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Awakened Mind System uses breakthrough audio recording processes to help you access this brainwave pattern so that you can directly experience the enormous benefits of this heightened state of consciousness.
Dr. Thompson embeds inaudible pulses of sound that mirror the awakened-mind pattern into an ambient musical soundtrack. The result is that your own brainwaves begin to reflect the awakened-mind pattern, drawing you easily into enhanced inner awareness, dynamic creativity, deepened meditation, spiritual connectedness, healing, and renewal.
-- Based on over 15 years of pioneering clinical research
-- Use with headphones or ordinary speakers
-- Contains no spoken words or subliminal messages
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's pioneering work with thousands of patients led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns that are built into musical soundtracks induce brainwave entrainment. Dr. Thompson's audio programs are used by psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, MDs, chiropractors, and bodywork professionals in 26 countries.

CBNNews.com—JERUSALEM—Kadima party leader Tzipi Livni says that even if she doesn't join a government headed by Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, she will support him in whatever way she can on the issue of Israel's defense against the Iranian nuclear threat. In their two meetings since he was tasked with forming a government, Netanyahu has stressed the importance of a unity government with Kadima and other large parties in the Knesset (parliament) because of the danger a nuclear Iran would pose to Israel.
While Livni has so far spurned Netanyahu's offer, she believes her party can assist Netanyahu with Iran from the opposition. "I will use my many contacts in the United States, Europe and the Arab world, along with my experience and that of other Kadima members to win support from the international community against Iran to the extent necessary," she said.
Livni's primary difficulties with joining Likud revolve around the diplomatic process with the Palestinians. She is adamant about pursuing a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, while Netanyahu believes that Israel currently does not have a serious or sufficiently strong Palestinian partner for peace. Shaul Mofaz, the leading Kadima member after Livni, has said publicly that his party should join the government. Privately, other Kadima members are saying the same thing, but they have not countered Livni in public.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu is moving ahead with coalition talks with parties on the right. He can build a smaller governing coalition of 65 Knesset members in the 120-member Knesset by inviting the party leaders he calls his "natural allies." Meetings are scheduled Wednesday with Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party, the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, and United Torah Judaism. Netanyahu plans to have many cabinet ministers to satisfy the eventual coalition partners and members of his own party.

PETA Sues the California Milk Board for False Advertising
In December 2002, PETA filed a lawsuit against the state-supervised California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) for portraying idyllic conditions in its "Happy Cows" advertisements, in stark contrast to the actual conditions in which California's dairy cows live. The CMAB ads carry the tagline "Great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California" and depict cows enjoying acres of rolling, green pastures, raising their young, and engaging in other natural behaviors.
In fact, the state's dairy cows typically live on extremely muddy, feces- and urine-soaked lots devoid of even a bush, a blade of grass, or any vegetation. The cows are repeatedly impregnated and are genetically and chemically manipulated to produce abnormally high quantities of milk. Their newborns are torn from them, and many of the males are relegated to dark, filthy veal crates. Dairy cows are worn out and prodded off to slaughter at just a fraction of their natural life expectancy.
While California has strict laws against false advertising, Judge David Garcia of the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, ruled that the government can't be sued for violations of these laws, no matter how egregious such violations may be.
PETA Appeals to California's First Appellate Court
California's false-advertising laws are designed to protect consumers from being deceived, and deception is deception, whether carried out by the government or by private business. So PETA appealed to a higher court, arguing that making the government accountable for lying to the public is good for the people of California and good for the cows and calves whose suffering is hidden behind the CMAB's deceitful campaign. Once again, the court ruled that it's legal for the government to lie to consumers.
PETA Takes Its Case to the California Supreme Court
In a ruling that leaves cows and consumers unprotected from government misconduct, the California Supreme Court refused to review the Appellate Court ruling. With this action, the Supreme Court left standing the ruling that the state is exempt from its own false-advertising laws.

Growing war chest for Texas Sen. John Cornyn
WASHINGTON– Texas Sen. John Cornyn has amassed a $4.2 million war chest as he gears up for a reelection bid next year. An aide to the senior senator said today that Cornyn raised $1.85 million in the first three months of 2013.
Cornyn's first quarter tally edged out Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., though McConnell has more than $8 million in the bank. Cornyn, the deputy Senate GOP leader, is on firmer ground back home. His biggest threat – a primary challenge from the right – remains almost entirely theoretical. McConnell is bracing for a fierce Democratic onslaught next year in a state with a much deeper Democratic bench.
Cornyn won his seat in 2002, succeeding Phil Gramm, and he coasted to reelection in 2008. Before taking over a few months ago as GOP whip, Cornyn led the party's Senate campaign committee for four years. He's a skilled fund-raiser, and money shouldn't be a problem for him.

Interview with At the Gates
By Chris Brown
Photography by Michelle Murphy
Having come back from the ashes to reform back in 2007, At the Gates had previously stated that there would be no further material being recorded to succeed the 1995 release of 'Slaughter of the Soul'. However, 2014 sees the release of highly anticipated and widely acclaimed 'At War With Reality'. To promote this, ATG are embarking on a European Tour with Swiss black metal giants Triptykon and fellow Swedes Morbus Chron. We caught up with vocalist Tomas Lindberg ahead of the opening night at London's HMV Forum.

This winter has been cold and gloomy, I think most folks would agree. What we have seen and heard at Crosslines, here at the Parish House, is that there are people who are really struggling this winter. There has been a struggle to stay warm. There has been a struggle to feed families, especially with our children missing so many days of school. And there has been a struggle for many of our families to get where they have needed to go because of so much snow and ice. It has been a winter that many will not easily forget.
I have thought about and prayed a great deal this winter about the families that I know that struggle to eat well anyway. It has brought to me some dismal moments. Recently, I was reminded again that the prophet Isaiah was encouraging about helping us to find opportunities to help others eat. The words from Isaiah 58:10 have been a good reminder to me to look for those opportunities this winter:
". . . if you offer your food to the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday."
This is a simple promise that Isaiah makes-a promise that helps not only the recipient, but also the giver. Offering our food to the hungry and satisfying the needs of the afflicted has great impact on the lives of those in need. These simple acts might be all that is needed to bring a family out of a very difficult moment in their lives. We may never see the impact, but I trust that it is there.
The second benefit of this promise is that somehow through out actions, our lives can be lifted out of the darkness that might be shadowing us at the moment and cause our gloom or discouragement to be lifted into the light as at noonday. For me, in this deep and dreary winter, the promise that the darkness of discouragement will be as bright as noonday is a wonderful promise.
God provides us all kinds of opportunities to help others, especially when it comes to offering food. In the past few days a press release announcing the Feinstein Challenge hit my desk. Last year, I found out about the Feinstein challenge too late to be involved, so I was excited to realize that we are just in time to participate.
Alan Shawn Feinstein has been a businessman and philanthropist in Rhode Island for many years. He is passionate about community service and has tried to involve many communities in serving others. Feinstein was very involved in the establishment of the first public high school in Rhode Island with community service as a central focus.
In 1996, Feinstein originated the first challenge to help local organizations to raise money to fight hunger. Each year, the Feinstein Foundation matches a portion of the money raised during the March/ Feinstein Challenge. In 2012, the 15th year of the annual spring challenge raised $230, 664, 188 nationwide.
While the match is not dollar for dollar, the challenge does help in two distinct ways. First, the challenge raises the awareness of food insecurity in our nation and around the world. It is estimated that worldwide approximately 21,000 people die each day due to hunger related causes. Sadly, many of these are children. That is a death due to hunger about every 4 seconds. In the United States at least 11 percent of all households are at risk of hunger.
According to the Kids Count Data Center, which has statistics for the whole nation, slightly over 58 percent of the kids in Upshur County were approved for free or reduced lunch in 2011, the latest data reported on the Kids Count website. That figure represents quite a few families who live among us as our neighbors that are food insecure.
So what opportunity has God placed before us? We have the opportunity to take part in the Feinstein Challenge. Any donation that is made to Crosslines, Inc., during March and April marked with the words "Feinstein Challenge" will be eligible for money from the Feinstein Foundation. The donation will count in this challenge only if the memo on the check includes the words "Feinstein Challenge."
Non-perishable food items will also count toward this challenge. Each non-perishable food item that is collected during this time can be valued at one dollar and reported as part of the money donated.
Any amount is accepted, but I encourage all of us to be prayerful about what we might be able to offer to this challenge. I will report what this challenge raises for our neighbors.
To God alone be the glory!

Loved this place! Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing with homemade hot options plus fresh fruit, coffee, and other. Close to downtown. Stayed 2 nights in room 7 and my elderly parents stayed in room 2. Both rooms just as advertised. Will be back
Charming B&B in the heart of a beautiful town. Walking distance to the lake and all amenities.
This was mine and my husband's first time in a bed and breakfast and it was amazing. We wished we could have stayed longer. My husband has Celiac's disease and Maureen (and Al) were able to accommodate his gluten-free needs with the most delicious breakfast! We are hooked and can't wait to stay again when in the area! Thanks Al and Maureen!
Al and Maureen are a very friendly and hospitable couple. They served us wonderfully. The room was lovely and clean and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
+J.M.J.+ We are so happy to have found this special hidden treasure tucked away near beautiful Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls, Idaho, thus the name Ida-Home! We regret not discovering it sooner while our daughter was in school there, but are already telling others about it and would love to stay there again if and when we are back in the area! Maureen and Al were so kind and accommodating. We felt like we had found long lost friends! They are fabulous cooks and wonderful gardeners! The breakfasts were delicious and served on our schedule, even when ours changed at the last minute one of the days! The grounds were beautiful and everything inside and out was impeccable! It was quiet, tranquil, and serene at the end of the street where the lovely home sits. We even saw turkeys in the woods one morning during breakfast! If you don't like to potentially share the bath with other guests, it is worth the upgrade to have it private, though we never crossed other guests in our three days there. The decor was beautiful and the sheets were so soft and comfy, we ordered a couple of sets from the innkeepers to use at home. The chocolates, nuts, drinks, robes, and slippers were extra amenities that we enjoyed as well. We hope and pray Maureen and Al are truly blessed, as we were any them and their lovely Ida-Home! A.M.D.G., Lisa L., Oklahoma
Stayed a week with Al and Maureen, what a lovely place to relax and enjoy the area - first rate in every way. Quiet, comfortable, excellent meals all, and of course a warm welcoming feel from the gracious owners. I would recommend Idahome to anyone, and already have! Definitely going back. Rod Stafford Priest River
This was my second stay at the Blackwell and I would recommend it. Beautiful rooms and convenient location. The staff is helpful and friendly. The only things not ideal are: 1. Complimentary breakfast doesn't start until 8am, which is late for me. I'm traveling for business. 2. The sheets are washed in detergent that is scented. It's not overpowering, but is noticeable. The staff would be wise to change the detergent. I work with colleagues who are sensitive to this and they would not be able to stay here.
Our stay was on the 3rd floor Rm5, Private bath with shower and walking distance to downtown, great property.
We had a wonderful time, very classy place. Perfect for our anniversary.
The rooms were comfortable, the staff was friendly. The room was clean overall, but there was a lot of dust in the corners and along the walls. We were there just a few weeks ago and the weather was warm, but they had air-conditioning and fans which made the rooms perfect, temperature-wise.
We have never stayed at a B&B and this place made us want to stay at B&B's from now on. It was relaxing and easy going. They provided us with a lot of information about the surrounding area. We only stayed 2 nights. It wasn't long enough. The breakfast was amazing! We plan to go back and bring more family with us.
Great value, beautiful home and room. We stayed in Room 1 overlooking Sherman Ave. The room was expansive. Short walk to downtown Cd'A. Highly recommend.

Or is there some other argument for unboxed mutability in the > semantics that I'm missing? On the necessity of exposing unboxed representation: As Sam Masson has already said, this is a matter of expressiveness in the language. Otherwise, we will have to appeal to external systems (C) to express or update such data-structures. This approach is taken by the Hello operating system written in SML, and House/OsKer written in Haskell. I have learnt from Iavor that efforts are on to integrate more expressiveness about low-level representation into GHC, which can be used for writing systems programs. One of the design goals of BitC is to give the programmer precise control over data-structure representation. The effect of this is that we may get better performance due to unboxing, and the fact that we don't need any marshalling / unmarshalling while interfacing with outside code. However, the compiler is -- in general -- not free to convert between boxed/unboxed representations albeit for the sake of performance. I think that the tech report must clarify this point. > Why do you argue that 'high-performance "systems" codes' require *unboxed* > mutability, in particular? The need for updating unboxed cells is also a matter of expressiveness, which we need in the language. However, for the purposes of type inference, it is possible to think of mutation as if it were to be updating a ref cell, and accessing a variable, fetching that value. This preserves principal types, but will constrain the freedom in compatibility of types at a copy-boundary. > My impression is that this choice seems to be imposing a great deal of > complexity on BitC's type system, ... I think much of the complexity in that type-system is due to the inference-hints. The rest of the type system (maybe types) is a matter of simple sub-typing and we can infer principal types for all monomorphic types. However, with the introduction of polymorphism, we need to make a decision about the mutability of the _copy_ of a value, and in the absence of explicit annotation, there is no perfect answer. The hint scheme is an attempt to ``guess'' the user's intension based on the flow of types in the system. If there is a better way of inference or formalization for this issue, I would like to learn about it. Swaroop.

Thinking of buying
If I can get it down to £1000-1050
Does anyone have advice on how much the insurance will cost and how to reduce it to the cheapest cost? Also would anyone offer any alternatives on that, and is it a good price he is asking
Insurance + new car advice
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Seems like a reasonable price for what it is. Insurance-wise your realistically lookong in the £1500 range if its your first car. But beware of the fact that it is a Fiat. Fiats of that age aren't exactly known for their reliability.
I have an active punto and was looking around £1800 for my insurance, fully comp when I first got it.
However note that car is an active SPORT. which automatically will add quiet a bit more onto your premium. When i was looking at an active sport it was nearly 2500 for insurance.
Be aware that mk2 puntos have quite a popular steering fault, so it might be key to make sure this has already been done in their service history. But, I've had my punto for nearly a year now, and very rarely have had a problem with it, and when I have it's only been something small. (a sensor went...). When people say old puntos aren't known for their reliability, you can get reliable ones it's just about checking you have a full service history and it's been looked after.
Then again my check steering light bobs up frequently, but there is nothing wrong with my steering at all, it's an electrical fault.
I think it's an alright price he's asking, possibly try and get it a bit lower though.
for what that is, the insurance is gonna be a rip off. Insurance on a bigger car with a 1.6-2.0 litre engine will in most cases be cheaper to insure. Those cars have been popular with young drivers, hence a large number of claims hence higher insurance premiums.
In terms of reliability, my cousin had one for a few years, and eventually so much went wrong with it that it wasn't worth repairing.....and he's doing a phd in mechanical engineering, knows a thing or two about fixing cars. That being said, I'm sure some of the Fiat Punto's have been largerly without a problem, but they are not exactly known for having good reliability.
In all honesty, if you're going to be spending around a grand on a car you could get something that represents a lot better value for money, and will be much cheaper to insure.
Like someone has mentioned, the "sport" models do cost a lot more to insure.
Buy on condition and service history not milage, you have to go and see the car before you put a deposit down or commit.
Let us know what you're going to be using the car far, the type of driving you'll do on it and what's important to you and should be able to recommend a few models to look at.
Will mainly be driving to gym and sixth form
What is the first part of your postcode? That's probably the biggest factor when it comes to young people's car insurance. And how old are you?
As for alternatives, I have a Skoda Fabia. It's a very good car that's very reliable, and the 1.4 version is cheaper to insure than the 1.2 Punto you're looking into getting.
I'm 17, will look into prices, I have a budget of around £1000. For my first car, full time education is it best to keep budget to a low?
No mention of service history
No mention of Tax or MOT
Pretty crap advert.
Have you seen the car yet? DO NOT buy it unseen, and I personally wouldn't bother with that one.
As for insurance, there are hundreds of variables which will affect your premium so run some quotes and see what you can come up with.
My mate has a Punto Active Sport 1.2 and it is very slow and very noisy. Personally, I wouldn't buy one. Get a nice mk1 1.6 Focus with FSH instead
That caught my eye also.

I used to have a fiat punto and i had a few problems with mine. Mine was a W plate one though, and ive heard they have improved since then.
Overall, they are pretty decent cars though,and they are pretty decent on insurance (i found they where anyway).

I agree.

Looks awful. Choose a decent car tbh.
(Original post by e1usive)
That caught my eye also.
However still no mention of service history, tax or MOT.
Also look at the drivers door in picture 6 - doesn't look like it shuts properly so could very well have been in a crash (hence why it is so cheap for a 2004 car) so tread very carefully with that one.
This looks much, much better:
I can get insurance down to around £1600.

Man facing charges after standoff in Dover ends peacefully
Brian Karl surrendered at 11 p.m. Wednesday
UPDATED 6:34 PM EDT May 02, 2013
A Dover man is facing charges for a standoff at an apartment complex Wednesday night.
The incident began just before 6 p.m., when police received reports of a man with a gun on Lilac Lane.
Police said 33-year-old Brian Karl was armed with a gun and blocking the exit for residents to get out. State police and a SWAT unit evacuated 30 other apartments.
Police said Karl had a previous relationship with a female resident. She and her son had to be evacuated using a ladder.
Police said Karl was suicidal, but surrendered a little after 11 p.m. He is being charged with stalking and reckless conduct.
No one was hurt.

There is a real possibility now that every household in India will have access to a bank account in the next few years. This has game-changing implications, both for delivery of hundreds of billions of dollars of Government subsidies but also bottom-of-the-pyramid financial innovation
What really conveys or imparts a sense of `sacred space' to an organisation and its people ? While it's somewhat clear what the driving forces are, whether it will come together in a predictable, mathematical way is a big question.

Kingfisher has demonstrated that for all the front-end glamour, Indian businesses are still running on jugaad mode in the back-end. This damages not just the brand's image but also questions Indian companies' ability to run world class service operations that put customer above all.

While you're going or once you're done, you can use your smartphone to check your heart rate, distance travelled, speed and intensity level of your workout.
However, while many accessories rely primarily on their own app, the Zephyr Heart Rate Monitor is compatible with numerous third party fitness apps, such as Endomondo, MapMyRun and Runtastic.
So if you already use a fitness app you can just slot this in to improve its tracking capabilities.
4. JayBird Sportsband 2 (£69.99)
Tracking calories, distance and heart rate is all well and good, but you shouldn't underestimate the value of a good tune during a workout. It can prevent it from becoming monotonous and even get you energised if you listen to something suitably upbeat.
The problem is that most head and earphones aren't designed with sports in mind, but that's exactly what the JayBird Sportsband 2 was created for.
The JayBird Sportsband 2 passes the first hurdle by being grippy enough to stay in place when running or playing sports. It also has a lightweight construction so it won't weigh you down or distract you and as it links to your phone via Bluetooth there aren't any wires to get tangled up in.
But it goes further than that with on-ear music controls, which let you change the volume or skip track all without fumbling with your phone or trying to find controls on a cord.
It can be used to take calls wirelessly too and to top it all off it looks damn fine.
5. Withings Smart Body Analyser (£129.95)
The Withings Smart Body Analyser might just look like scales, but it's a whole lot more than that.
Yes if you step on it you can get an ultra precise measurement of how much you weigh, but it can also tell you how much body fat you have, tell you your heart rate and even check the quality of the air, so that you'll be better able to optimise your environment.
Couple it with the Withings Health Mate app for Android and iOS and it can also upload your data and let you set weight goals, which it will then break down into achievable weekly targets and let you see your progress.
6. Jawbone UP (£99.99)
The Jawbone UP is another fitness band, though perhaps one that's less well known on these shores than Fitbit or Nike's offerings.
It certainly matches them for features though, as it can track steps, distance, calories burned and the amount of time that you spend idle versus the amount of time that you spend being active.
It can also tell you how long you sleep for, how long it takes you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up during the night and how long you spend in light versus deep sleep.
It has a ten day battery life and while we wouldn't exactly call it stylish it's not the worst thing you could wear on your wrist either.
Like the Fitbit Flex it doesn't have a display, so you'll have to use the 'UP by Jawbone' app for iOS and Android to see how you're doing. As well as showing you all the tracked data, the app also lets you log food and drink and set goals.
And to allow you freedom with your exercise: the Jawbone UP is compatible with some other fitness apps, such as RunKeeper and MapMyFitness.
7. Tune Belt Sport Armband (£16.99)
There are loads of smartphone armbands out there and if you plan to use your phone for fitness tracking or listening to music while you work out, investing in one is all but essential.
The Tune Belt Sport Armband isn't much to look at but it does the important stuff, namely keeps your smartphone securely fastened to your arm while protecting it from bumps, scratches and the elements.

Popovic Has Company atop Australian PGA Championship Leaderboard
First-round leader Daniel Popovic now shares the lead after 36 holes of the Australian PGA Championship. The $1.3 million tournament, which was first played in 1905, began Thursday at Palmer Coolum Resort on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
The 26-year-old Popovic followed up his opening 8-under 64 with a 70 to reach 10-under 134, the same total as that of China's Xin Jun Zhang, who's carded two consecutive 67s.
Two strokes back are a pair of Aussies, Geoff Ogilvy (67 and 69) and Matthew Griffin (69, 67).
Popovic was cruising along on Friday. At one point he'd forged a five-shot lead following four birdies on his first 10 holes. But Popovic, who won the 2012 Australasian PGA qualifying school, double-bogeyed the par-5 12th and got pars the rest of the way.
Despite shooting six strokes higher than on Thursday, Popovic is ready for the weekend. "I am stoked," he said. "I can't get the smile off my face since I finished the round. It's an unbelievable experience. I am lost for words explaining it."
Zhang, who plays on both the European and Asian tours, carded eight birdies and three bogeys, needing only 22 putts in the second round. "I felt good today, I am getting used to this layout and to the wind," Zhang said through a translator.
Ogilvy is aiming for a high finish this week to get into the top-50 in the world rankings and earn an automatic spot in next year's Masters. He's currently 56th, and it looks like the 2006 U.S. Open champion will need to place third or higher to assure another trip to Augusta National.
"I don't know if it has to be first to get into the top 50, but it probably has to be first two or three," Ogilvy said. "I don't study world rankings that much. But that would be a bonus, winning the tournament would be the best part, but if that was a side bonus that would be good.
"I feel like I am in a good place. It's nice I will be in one of the last few groups tomorrow and if I can have a good score, maybe get right up there after tomorrow and give it a crack on Sunday."
Peter Senior, a 53-year-old who plays regularly on the Champions Tour and won last week's Australian Open, shot a 70 and is tied for eighth, four back of the leaders. British Open champion Darren Clarke carded a 69 and is five strokes behind, while South African and PGA Tour regular Rory Sabbatini had a 68 to make the cut.

The Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus: An Impressionist Masterpiece
This striking portrait is a study for one of the great icons of Impressionism Le Balcon, (1868–9) now in the Musée d'rsay, Paris. The subject is Fanny Claus, a famous violinist who was a close friend of the artist's wife.
Initially inspired by the sight of people on a balcony, during a summer spent in Boulogne-sur-Mer with his family in 1868, Le Balcon famously draws on Goya's Majas on a Balcony painted around 1810. It is also an important example of Manet's work from the late 1860s onwards when he began to focus his attention on his family and close friends. The portrait's subject is Fanny Claus (1846–77), the closest friend of Manet's wife Suzanne Leenhoff. A concert violinist and member of the first all-women string quartet, Fanny was one of Manet's favourite sitters and a member of a close-knit group of friends who also provided the artist with models. She married the artist Pierre Prins (1838–1913), another friend of Manet's, in 1869, but died of tuberculosis just eight years later at the age of 30.
The Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus was bought in 1884 by the American artist John Singer Sargent. It has remained in his family ever since and is now one of the few major works by Manet left in private hands. As a rare example of the working methods of one of the greatest artists of the 19th century this painting is one of the most important Impressionist paintings in the country.
Manet's Legacy
During Edouard Manet's lifetime (1832-1883) his work was reviled by most critics in England and France. He was controversial and his art shocked the public. However, he was greatly admired by the most advanced artists in both countries. John Singer Sargent, was described as a disciple of Manet, and without his example, Sargent's portraits would have been very different. From the 1880s until World War I, most progressive portrait painters were strongly influenced by Manet's work: Wilson Steer, Walter Sickert, Henry Tonks, Sir John Lavery, Sir William Orpen. Roger Fry's exhibition of 'Manet and the Post-Impressionists' (1911) firmly established Manet's reputation as the painter of modern life. Fry emphasised the purely pictorial qualities of Manet's art, but the social and psychological aspects were equally important to later artists such as Stanley Spencer and Lucian Freud.
As Manet's reputation grew rapidly in the 20th century, his best works were acquired by major museums. There are now remarkably few Manets in private collections, almost all in France, and there are only a handful of important pictures by Manet in the United Kingdom – in the National Gallery and the Courtauld Institute in London, as well as other works in Cardiff, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
Manet, Mademoiselle Claus and the Ashmolean
The Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus would completely transform the Ashmolean's Impressionist collections and perfectly complement them, making the Museum a world-leading centre for the study of Impressionist and post Impressionist art.
It would join a small landscape and two unfinished oil paintings, as well as a major watercolour of one of his most famous (and at the time scandalous) works, Le Déjeuner sur L'Herbe. In addition, the Ashmolean has important works by most of Manet's Impressionist contemporaries, including Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir and – a particular strength for the colllection – Camille Pissarro. The museum is also home to the UK's largest holdings of Impressionist works on paper.
A Garden Urn
Landscape with a Village Church
A Basket of Pears
Le Déjuner sur L'Herbe
If acquired by the Ashmolean the Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus will be shown at a number of museums in the UK in a special exhibition. The Ashmolean is also planning a full programme of educational activities, family workshops, and pubilc events inspired by the painting. Having previously been exhibited only once since it was painted, this will be a great revelation both to the public and to Manet scholars. As a first sketch, the portrait has a spontaneous quality and a vibrant palette less evident in
Mademoiselle Claus reveals fascinating new information about the working methods of Edouard Manet, one of the greatest masters of modern art.

Sewing began my 'adventure with fabric' in seventh grade.
Fast forward about three decades, and it was machine applique that won my attention. Presently, I like to blend applique with scrap quilting techniques; and share my e-patterns here. I do still love new fabrics; however, am on a quest to turn my fabric stash into scrappy quilts. Visit me at my website or blog to find out more. My primary goal for 2015 is to not buy any new fabric; only allowing myself to spend on classes, books, and patterns.
Researching one's own family history can be an intriguing experience. Naturally, I figured the next step would be to preserve this unique story in a quilt. Wouldn't this make a terrific gift for someone special?
When I didn't find a design that struck my interest; I figured it was time to jump in and make my own version. My inspiration came from my sister and after creating the first design in 2006; was able to add a second design this year just for her -- celebrating her love of genealogy research. Both designs are now available as downloadable patterns in my Craftsy store.
Appliqued Family Tree Quilt with Birdhouses (Design Two):
For this second design, I wished to create a quilted version to represent the family tree featuring colorful birdhouses. Along with beautiful gardens, it's also a magical place for sharing those special outdoor spaces with the birds. These appliqued birdhouses represent the family homes that are part of this family history, with their names attached below. Added to the base of the tree are elements that provide a relaxing bench and birdbath for all to enjoy a visit to this tranquil spot.
This design uses the fused machine applique technique and the product PhotoFabric(tm) for printing out the name information.
This PDF pattern has colored illustrations, clear instructions, and full-size templates for the applique pieces that have already been reversed for the fusible applique process. Use my fabric choices as your guide and have fun with this project.

This is a bait that didn't rotate long enough on the drying rack, and ended up with a big blob of epoxy on its back. Now I'll have to sand off the blob and re-coat the entire bait. Next time I'll leave it on the rack overnight.
My guess: if you had left the lure long enough on the drying wheel, you would not have solved the blob problem, or at least not completely. Most probably, the blob is there because there was too much epoxy on the lure, and perhaps the epoxy was not brushed on in a uniform coat.
But does the blob really matter for the fish? I guess not. And if the lure proves to be a "winner", you could tell your friends you have designed the blob on purpose ...
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
I don't think there was too much epoxy on the lure; it looked fine when I stopped the wheel, but I should have let it turn longer.
Anyway, I went ahead and cut off the blob. I might have just left it on if it had been in the center of the lures back, but it was set somewhat to the left and so I was afraid that it might affect the lures action.

WASHINGTON - A Senate panel Tuesday narrowly approved the nomination of John Ashcroft to be the United States' next attorney general, with one Democrat joining Republicans to send the controversial cabinet choice to the full Senate for all-but-certain confirmation.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 to approve Ashcroft for the top law-enforcement post.
With President Bush Tuesday signaling his impatience over delays in Ashcroft's confirmation, Senate Republicans were eager to move to a vote, possibly as early as Wednesday. Republicans even started Senate floor debate on the nomination before the committee had voted.
Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., one of the Senate's most liberal members, was the lone Democrat to support Ashcroft, a favorite of the Republican Party's conservative wing. In doing so, Feingold infuriated his usual allies among Ashcroft's liberal interest group opponents by denying them a hoped-for symbolic victory - a tie vote in committee that Ashcroft foes said would amount to a vote of "no confidence," even though it still would allow the nomination to proceed.
Feingold said his concerns about Ashcroft's record did not outweigh what he believes should be the wide latitude given to the president to surround himself with his own team, a calculation he acknowledged he was making with an eye to a future Democratic president's choices.
"I am extending to you at the beginning of a new Republican administration an olive branch, but it is not a white flag," Feingold said. Feingold also called on Bush to make a goodwill gesture of his own by renominating Missouri Supreme Court Judge Ronnie White, a black man, to the federal bench. Ashcroft blocked an earlier appointment of White in a move that was faulted by Ashcroft's critics as racially insensitive.
Meanwhile Tuesday, the Senate confirmed two of Bush's other nominees, Gale Norton for secretary of the Interior and New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman for director of the Environmental Protection Administration. Norton, by far the more controversial of the two, was approved on a 75-24 vote with all of the negative votes coming from Democrats. Whitman was confirmed 99-0. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., was snowed in at home and did not vote.
Several Democrats on the Judiciary Committee said they simply could not take Ashcroft at his word when he promised to uphold laws that conflict with his lifelong personal and religious beliefs, particularly in the areas of abortion rights, civil rights and gun control.
Ashcroft engaged in a "remarkable revisionist remaking of his record," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. "But actions speak louder than words. In the case of Senator Ashcroft, his 30-year record ... demonstrates, clearly and convincingly, that he is the wrong person to be attorney general."
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., also said he doubts that Ashcroft is the right person to help Bush reach out to African-Americans, whose doubts about their rights in this country were only reinforced by voting irregularities in Florida that helped deliver the presidency to Bush. "I don't believe his heart or his intellect is in it to aggressively enforce civil rights legislation," Biden said. "John, I believe, is going to have a hard time convincing people that he means it."
Republicans called on senators to vote in support of the Ashcroft they know from his one term in the Senate, and not the portrait of Ashcroft as a right-wing extremist that liberal interest groups have painted, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said.
Added Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.,: "This is a good, wise, prudent man that we should desire to have as United States attorney general. He will uphold the law. He's done it his entire life."

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said there will be no more conciliatory gestures to the Palestinian Authority to extend peace negotiations.
"The Palestinians are the ones stalling the talks by setting conditions," Lieberman told Israel Radio Thursday morning. "Israel will not agree to any further conditions for the continuation of talks."
So far Israel has completed the first three stages of the prisoner release. The fourth stage is set for the end of March. Israel agreed to release the convicts, most serving time for terror-related offenses, as a goodwill gesture to P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas, whose popularity with his own Fatah faction is waning.
The P.A. has a long history of demanding concessions to participate in direct talks with Israel, but repeated goodwill gestures have yielded next to nothing.
Several years ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to halt building in Jewish communities in biblical Judea and Samaria for 10 months -- an area where Palestinians want a future, Jew-free state -- as a gesture to the Palestinians. It did little for Israeli-Palestinian talks, and Netanyahu has said he won't do it again.
On Wednesday evening, Lieberman released a Foreign Ministry statement on the crisis in Ukraine as he prepared to depart for meetings in Rome Thursday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, among others, on the status of talks with the Palestinian Authority.
Kerry redirected his efforts when it became obvious an agreement would not be reached within the nine-month timeframe, which expires on April 29. He is trying to convince both sides to sign a framework agreement for extending the talks.
Obama reportedly presented the agreement to Netanyahu during their meeting earlier this week at the White House and will present it to Abbas at his upcoming visit.
