Pope Francis has gotten a lot of attention from Catholics and non-Catholics alike for the statements he has made since becoming pope.
Below is a sampling of some of those statements:
In May, he told nuns from around the world that they must be spiritual mothers and not "old maids."
In a passage inspired by the Gospel of Mark, Pope Francis said:
"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class. We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all. And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: We need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. 'But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!' But do good: We will meet one another there."
In early July, he said, "It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world."
During World Youth Day in Brazil in July Pope Francis spoke with forceful words on the role of bishops, instructing them to lead without being authoritarian, to adopt "simplicity and austerity of life" and to care for their dioceses without ambitions for more prominent appointments.
"The bishop has to be among his people in three ways," the pope said. "In front of them, pointing the way; among them, keeping them together and preventing them from being scattered; and behind them, ensuring that no one is left behind, but also, and primarily, so that the flock itself can sniff out new paths."
During Mass on July 3 at Casa Santa Marta Francis explained why he has been so hands-on, so insistent on greeting the disabled, the poor, the refugee, and the prisoner.
"The body of your wounded brother, because he is hungry, because he is thirsty, because he is naked, because it is humiliated, because he is a slave, because he's in jail, because he is in the hospital. Those are the wounds of Jesus today," he said.
Setting up charities to solve society's problems is not enough, he said. Catholics and other believers have to get their hands dirty.
"We need to touch the wounds of Jesus, we must caress the wounds of Jesus, we need to bind the wounds of Jesus with tenderness, we have to kiss the wounds of Jesus, and this literally."
On immigrants, Pope Francis sent a tweet in early July saying, "We pray for a heart which will embrace immigrants. God will judge us upon how we have treated the most needy."
We pray for a heart which will embrace immigrants. God will judge us upon how we have treated the most needy.— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) July 08, 2013

Machinarium Review
publisher: Amanita Design
developer: Amanita Design
genre: Puzzle
|ESRB rating: E10+
release date: Oct 16, 09
|» All About Machinarium on ActionTrip
Uros "Vader" Pavlovic
Every once in a while, we prefer turning our heads away from bloated, big-budget shooters, flashy sequels and other triple-A releases that continually overwhelm us (before you say it, no, we don't spend the extra time to level our WoW characters). What we do is pause to appreciate smaller, more modest projects, frequently emerging from the creative minds of independent game developers. This year we thought we'd focus on the world of Machinarium and the mysterious characters and puzzles hidden throughout its imaginative setting.
Created by an Amanita Design, Machinarium is actually the work of seven Czech developers, who - word has it -- financed the project with their own savings, with the game's marketing budget being a total of $1,000. It was a slow, three-year development process, but they did manage to wrap things up and deliver quite an unusual retro style point-and-click adventure game. Of course, when I write "unusual," I don't mean it's a bad thing. The art style in this game is certainly uncanny, there's no doubt about that. On the other hand, it brings a breath of fresh air to a gaming scene flooded with tacky, stale and soulless artwork. For that matter, it's no small feat the game received the prize for "Excellence in Visual Art" at this year's Independent Game Festival. As you explore its lovely and imaginatively drawn setting, Machinarium succeeds in drawing you in more and more with each new location.
This is really tougher than it looks, believe me.
I hate potted plants.
You play a charming little robot that accidentally gets kicked out of a mechanical city and finds itself looking for a way back. At the same time, he tries to save his girlfriend and stop a group of ghastly robot baddies from setting off a bomb.
As in most standard adventure games, you progress by exploring the environment and rationally combining items you've picked up a long the way. So, yes, using your brains is a must, I'm afraid. To make things quite clear, those of you who are not up for a variety of tough puzzles and quite a few difficult challenges in classic P&C (point & click) fashion, you're probably better off playing something else. Machinarium presents complicated logical tight spots so to speak. In other words, at times, it can be too hard for any gamer, regardless of previous experience. Therein lies the game's greatest flaw. Despite its cute and appealing art style, compelling characters, Machinarium requires some serious brainstorming. The requirement for brainstorming isn't the problem, but rather some dubious design and gameplay choices.
If you get stuck on a particular problem, you can play through a mini-game, a side-scrolling shooter sequence, leading up to an explanation of how the problem can be solved. While this seems like a welcomed addition to the generally monotonous 2D-style point & click gameplay, it doesn't quite smooth things along when the frustration comes. Facing certain puzzles is hindered by that ever-present issue always known to plague most old adventure games - the difficulty of spotting crucial items on the screen. In my case, this happened more than once. On top of dealing with a tough challenge, I had to spend a long time finding useable objects in the immediate area.
Ironically, Machinarium's chief weakness is also its main strength. It's a been a while since we've had a proper puzzle flavored adventure game and in that sense Machinarium brings more than a satisfactory choice of challenges. If it weren't for certain gameplay mishaps, the game would've got more attention altogether. Disregarding these issues, this is still a fine experience, perhaps best-suited for people who like to spend a lot of time figuring out a tricky and rather challenging set of puzzles throughout the entire game. You really shouldn't hesitate in giving it a try at least.
8.3 Very Good
Beautifully drawn levels and characters, imaginative setting, cute music and sounds, challenging puzzles...
The extreme difficulty of certain puzzles often kills the fun.

It took you so long to review it because... some puzzles were too difficult for your mental capabilities to solve. That's the same reason why game didn't get 9 or even 9.3.
Did I get it right?

By the way, insanely difficult puzzles do not necessarily constitute a perfect game experience.

Actually, there was only one puzzle I found to be really hard, because solution could be easilly missed if you're somewhat impatient, as myself. The puzzle I'm talking about was that one with the bird. That one was worth the mini game. Some other puzzles were hard, but nothing really that would stop you trying.

WAYNE, N.J. -- Despite signed confessions, the pair accused of killing Brooke D. Lennon, senior vice president of merchandising at Grand Union Co. here, have pleaded not guilty to the crime in Rockland County, N.Y. just a few miles from the house in Monsey, N.Y., where his 25-year-old wife and her 23-year-old boyfriend lived. Prosecutors said their motive may have been a $2.3 million life insurance policy that named Lennon's wife Michelle as sole beneficiary. That will is being contested ...

lisp-unit is a Common Lisp library that supports unit testing. There is a long history of testing packages in Lisp, usually called "regression" testers. More recent packages in Lisp and other languages have been inspired by JUnit for Java. For more information on both unit testing and JUnit, visit www.junit.org.
This page has two parts:
My main goal for lisp-unit was to make it simple to use, particularly for beginning Lisp programmers. The advantages of lisp-unit are:
(use-package :lisp-unit).
Any test failures will be printed, along with a summary of how many tests were run, how many passed, and how many failed.
You define a test with
(define-test name exp1 exp2 ...)
This defines a test called name. The expressions can be anything, but typically most will be assertion forms.
Tests can be defined before the code they test, even if they're testing macros. This is to support test-first programming.
After defining your tests and the code they test, run the tests with
This runs every test defined in the current package. To run just certain specific tests, use
(run-tests name1 name2 ...)
(run-tests greater summit).
The following example
returns the larger of two arguments
First, we define some tests.
> (in-package :cs325-user) #<PACKAGE CS325-USER> > (define-test pick-greater (assert-equal 5 (pick-greater 2 5)) (assert-equal 5 (pick-greater 5 2)) (assert-equal 10 (pick-greater 10 10)) (assert-equal 0 (pick-greater -5 0)) ) PICK-GREATER
Following good test-first programming practice, we run these tests before writing any code.
> (run-tests pick-greater) PICK-GREATER: Undefined function PICK-GREATER called with arguments (2 5).
This shows that we need to do some work. So we define our
broken version of
> (defun pick-greater (x y) x) ;; deliberately wrong PICK-GREATER
Now we run the tests again:
> (run-tests pick-greater) PICK-GREATER: (PICK-GREATER 2 5) failed: Expected 5 but saw 2 PICK-GREATER: (PICK-GREATER -5 0) failed: Expected 0 but saw -5 PICK-GREATER: 2 assertions passed, 2 failed.
This shows two failures. In both cases, the equality test
returned NIL. In the first case it was because
(pick-greater 2 5) returned 2 when 5 was expected, and
in the second case, it was because
(pick-greater -5 0) returned -5 when 0 was expected.
The most commonly used assertion form is
(assert-equal value form)
This tallies a failure if form returns a value
equal to value. Both
value and test are
evaluated in the local lexical environment. This means
that you can use local variables in tests. In particular,
you can write loops that run many tests at once:
> (define-test my-sqrt (dotimes (i 5) (assert-equal i (my-sqrt (* i i))))) MY-SQRT > (defun my-sqrt (n) (/ n 2)) ;; wrong!! > (run-tests my-sqrt) MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 1 but saw 1/2 MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 3 but saw 9/2 MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 4 but saw 8 MY-SQRT: 2 assertions passed, 3 failed.
However, the above output doesn't tell us for which values of
the code failed. Fortunately, you can fix this by
adding expressions at the end of the
These expression and their values will be printed on failure.
> (define-test my-sqrt (dotimes (i 5) (assert-equal i (my-sqrt (* i i)) i))) ;; added i at the end MY-SQRT > (run-tests my-sqrt) MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 1 but saw 1/2 I => 1 MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 3 but saw 9/2 I => 3 MY-SQRT: (MY-SQRT (* I I)) failed: Expected 4 but saw 8 I => 4 MY-SQRT: 2 assertions passed, 3 failed.
The next most useful assertion form is
(assert-true test)
This tallies a failure if test returns false. Again, if you need to print out extra information, just add expressions after test.
There are also assertion forms to test what code prints, what errors code returns, or what a macro expands into. A complete list of assertion forms is in the reference section.
Do not confuse
with Common Lisp's
assert macro.
is used in code to guarantee that some condition is true. If it isn't,
the code halts.
assert has options you can use
to let a user fix what's wrong and resume execution. A similar collision
of names exists in JUnit and Java.
Tests are grouped internally by the current package, so that a set of tests can be defined for one package of code without interfering with tests for other packages.
If your code is being defined in
which is common when learning Common Lisp, but not for
production-level code, then you should define your tests
cl-user as well.
If your code is being defined in its own package, you should define your tests either in that same package, or in another package for test code. The latter approach has the advantage of making sure that your tests have access to only the exported symbols of your code package.
For example, if you were defining a date package,
date.lisp file would look like this:
(defpackage :date (:use :common-lisp) (:export #:date->string #:string->date)) (in-package :date) (defun date->string (date) ...) (defun string->date (string) ...)
date-tests.lisp file would look like this:
(defpackage :date-tests (:use :common-lisp :lisp-unit :date)) (in-package :date-tests) (define-test date->string (assert-true (string= ... (date->string ...))) ...) ...
You could then run all your date tests in the test package:
(in-package :date-tests) (run-tests)
Alternately, you could run all your date tests from any package with:
(lisp-unit:run-all-tests :date-tests)
Here is a list of the functions and macros exported by lisp-unit.
in effect when
define-test is executed.
The expresssions are assembled into runnable code whenever
needed by
run-tests. Hence you can define or
redefine macros without reloading tests using those macros.
*package* is used.
*package* is used.
*package* is used.
nil is given, it removes all tests for all packages.
in effect when the macro is expanded. If no names are given,
all tests for that package are run.
All of the assertion forms are macros. They tally a failure if the associated predication returns false. Assertions can be made about return values, printed output, macro expansions, and even expected errors. Assertion form arguments are evaluated in the local lexical environment.
All assertion forms allow you to include additional expressions at the end of the form. These expressions and their values will be printed only when the test fails.
Return values are unspecified for all assertion forms.
These macros tally a failure if value is not equal to the result returned by form, using the specified equality predicate.
In general,
is used for most tests. But any binary predicate can be used, with
assert-equality, e.g.,
(assert-equality #'unordered-equal '(a b c) (unique-atoms '((b c) a ((b a) c))))
tallies a failure if test returns false.
tallies a failure if test returns true.
(macroexpand-1 form)

to refer to any kind of error. See
types in the Common Lisp Hyperspec for other possible names. For example,
(assert-error 'arithmetic-error (foo 0))would assert that
is supposed to signal an arithmetic error when passed zero.
(when (> (length queue) 100) (fail "Queue exceeded expected size by " (- (length queue) 100)))
Several predicate functions are exported that are often useful in
writing tests with

The following facilities to control how results are reported is still under development. Comments welcome.
lisp-unit calls three listener functions to report test results and summary statistics. These functions can be rebound using the facilities below.
The test listener is called after each assertion form in a test is executed. The listener is passed
Two test listener functions are exported:
The error listener is called when an error occurs in running a test. The listener is passed
Three error listener functions are exported:
The summary listener is called after
The listener is passed:
Three summary listener functions are exported:
The three listeners are stored in the exported global variables
*summary-listener*. So one way to change listeners
is with
For example, to show only package-level summary counts:
(let ((*summary-listener* 'show-package-summary)) (run-tests))
The above would still show failures and error messages. To hide those and just get the counts:
(let ((*error-listener* 'count-error) (*summary-listener* 'show-package-summary) (*test-listener* 'show-no-result)) (run-tests))
To show no individual test results and only package summaries with failures, we need to define a function that checks the number of failures.
(defun show-failing-package (name test-count pass-count error-count) (when (or (< pass-count test-count) (> error-count 0)) (show-summary name test-count pass-count error-count))) (let ((*error-listener* 'count-error) (*summary-listener* 'show-failing-package) (*test-listener* 'show-no-result)) (run-tests))
A simpler way to rebind listeners is with
The second example above could be done with:
(with-listeners (count-error show-package-summary show-no-result) (run-tests))
To use user-defined listeners, you
first say what listener variable they're for with
The third example above could be done with:
(defun show-failing-package (name test-count pass-count error-count) (when (or (< pass-count test-count) (> error-count 0)) (show-summary name test-count pass-count error-count))) (set-listener-variable 'show-failing-package '*summary-listener*) (with-listeners (count-error show-failing-package show-no-result) (run-tests))

Python library for the PCF8475 on the Raspberry Pi
While there was progress on my environment monitor project tonight, I'm going to write that up later... er, today, considering it's after 4AM currently. I'm going to do a quick writeup instead on a side project that is related.
Part of my project is interfacing with a pair of
PCF8475 I2C IO expander chips to control
a relay board, and read buttons. To this end, I've created a small Python class to interface
with these chips, available on Github. It supports
basic reading and writing to the chips, along with being able to trigger a callback when the
/INT line is triggered. Usage is quite simple:
Eventually I'm going to add the ability to toggle a specific pin, while maintaining the state of the other pins.
There are comments.

How Should We Think About Earnings Quality? A Discussion of 'Earnings Quality: Evidence from the Field'
Mark W. Nelson
Cornell University - Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management
Douglas J. Skinner
The University of Chicago - Booth School of Business
October 17, 2013
Dichev, Graham, Harvey and Rajgopal (DGHR 2013) survey CFOs to elicit their views on earnings quality, broader trends in financial reporting, and the prevalence of earnings management. They provide some interesting insights on these issues. We discuss how CFOs' incentives in the financial reporting process are likely to affect what we can learn from them about earnings quality. We also discuss how DGHR's methodological choices regarding survey sample and question design affect their inferences, including what we can infer about the prevalence and magnitude of earnings management.

DirecTV has just announced Jay Z will play its Super Bowl party.
It's not Super Bowl halftime, but the high-profile event is among the exclusive celebrations touching down in New York.
Called Super Saturday Night, the Feb. 1 party will be co-hosted by Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
After the company's Celebrity Beach Bowl is over, the DTV SuperFan Stadium at Hudson River Park's Pier 40 (353 West St.), will morph from a giant sand pit into a two-tier club. Co-hosting with Manning is Mark Cuban's AXS TV.
Last year, on the eve of Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, Justin Timberlake headlined the DirecTV party. Like many big New York Super Bowl parties, this bash is a VIP affair, meaning tickets are not sold publicly.
Before the announcement was made, Jon Gieselmen, senior vice president of marketing for DirecTV, spoke about the desirability of this year's party. He expects 6,000 people to attend.
"It will be the ticket that everyone wants to have," he said. "If people see tickets online for sale, they're counterfeit."

This item from The Joy of Jewels is now SOLD.
More from The Joy of Jewels
For Juliette! Ultra Rare Gold Diamond Ruby, Sapphire and Enamel Serpent or Snake Ring ~ Antique Georgian Period
I have spent 3 weeks researching this most unbelievable Serpent... I know this will be a lengthy listing but please bear with me. The information I am giving is important and factual. I want my clients to know every single thing about their purchases so I will try to make it as brief as possible however, there is quite a bit of information...
In nearly 20 years in dealing in antique jewelry, this is by Far the finest example of an early Georgian Snake Ring that I have ever seen. As part of my research I have looked at hundreds of snake rings from this ring's period which is Circa 1780 all the way through the Edwardian period, Circa 1910. In the hundreds of Google Images I have seen, not one single ring compares to the Fantastic and unique style. Frankly, nothing even comes close...
One of the reason's I have done such intense research is because of the mark under his head. It is stamped 19K. This is the very first piece of jewelry in 20 years that I have ever owned with such a gold mark. It threw me, I will admit however, I have figured it out and I am 100% sure in my findings. Most Georgian Jewelry from this period was simply not marked. However, this ring came from Italy. I am sure that this is where this fabulous ring was produced. Now, to better understand the mark, this is what I have found...
Italy for centuries was divided into small states and Lordships. Each of these (small states) used it's own currency. Within it, different provinces were ruled by their own Lordships. Now, that 19K Hallmark, or Punch? That may have only been used for a few years but I am certain of it's origin. Generally speaking? When you research 19K, most of those hallmarked pieces were made in the Middle East. This is Not the case with this ring. It very much has a feel of what was probably produced in Venice, or near. When one compares rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches or even necklaces, an Italian influence is very easy to identify.. This snake ring, absolutely and unequivocally has an Italian feel. So, mystery solved. This was produced in Italy, Circa 1780 ~ 1800 (Latest) and holds an unusual 19K mark under his head.
Now, being gold standards were so loose during this period, the 19K mark, is not correct. I have a very fancy new jeweler's piece of equipment that is far superior to acid testing. It is an electronic tester. This tester is wonderful and after you first calibrate it? You simply touch the tip of the wet pen portion to any piece of gold and it gives the exact gold content. There is zero room for error with this high tech piece of equipment I own. This ring is testing for 21K Gold, not 19 as stated. Remember, during this period jeweler's had not yet come up with the exact formula's we have today to say, produce 10K, 14K, 18K, etc.. Today jeweler's who mix gold, know exactly how much alloy, be it copper or nickle, etc. to add to make it spot on to the exact Karat. This was not the case during the Renaissance, Georgian or Victorian periods. In fact, even with gold I am testing from the Art Deco period that is stamped 18K, is actually precisely testing slightly higher or, slightly lower... They did not perfect the alloy amounts needed until around the 1940's or so.
The Ring.... Stunning, Unusual, Fabulous and Ultra Rare! There are many more Fabulous words I could use but you will see in these photo's just how rare the ring is. The snake... His head has 12 smoothly bead set rose and single cut diamonds. They are all foil backed. His mouth is slightly open and you can actually put your fingernail inside of his mouth. He has 2 Genuine, natural and undyed Red ruby eyes. These small rubies are old, very old mine cut stones. Around the ruby eyes is high carat gold. They are collet set in this gold... Behind the 12 single cut or rose cut diamonds he has an impressive Marquis shaped (natural and genuine) ruby. Again, not heat treated, natural.. That is colet set with a silver bezel which securely holds it in place. Directly behind the marquis shaped ruby is a wide collar the snake is wearing. There are 3 stones in that collar. There are 2 deep blue, natural and undyed mine cut sapphires. One is very visible, then there is a round mine cut diamond in the center. Lastly, closest to his tail, there is a second mine cut sapphire. Although it is hidden by his tail, it is easy to see when magnified or with a loupe. I have had a tremendous amount of help from dealer's with 85 years of experience between the 2 of them. These are High End dealer's that know their stuff! One of the dealer's that I have consulted with feels that the mine cut diamond between the 2 sapphires may have been replaced at some point. So, if he is correct then that stone may have originally been either another diamond another ruby or perhaps a third sapphire. Regardless, its old, if it was replaced it was at least 100 years ago, minimum!
Symbolism of the snake and the ruby eyes.... To the ancient Greeks and Romans, the serpent was considered primarily a symbol of fertility or re-birth and therefore, eternity, since it seemed to be reborn each time it shed its skin. There are a number of Greco-Roman and Roman serpent rings which have survived into modern times. Rings, and to a lesser extent, other pieces of jewelry ornamented with a serpent or snake, were again popular during the Renaissance. Serpent rings, and other jeweled snake images, would re-appear intermittently in Europe over the course of the following centuries, down to the early years of the nineteenth century and beyond. ***
As one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols, it's no wonder serpents (snakes) remain as popular in jewelry as they did back in ancient Egyptian times. What makes this creature so intriguing to mankind is its dual expression of good and evil, fertility and rebirth, poison and medicine. Throughout time, different civilizations have interpreted the serpent's symbolism in different ways: the Egyptians saw it represent royalty and deity; in Rabbinical tradition and Hinduisim, the snake represents sexual passion and desire; while the Romans interpreted the snake as a symbol of everlasting love. While Cleopatra may be the most notable historic figure to espouse the wearing of snake jewelry, Greek, Nordic, African, and Native Americans have all celebrated this intriguing reptile in gilded forms with varying meaning. ***
Measurements, Circa, Metal, Stones etc.... The ring is a very large size for the period. It is a US size 7 1/2. It may have been a man's ring however I actually believe that it was simply a woman's ring with a larger finger for the period. The beauty of this ring, (yes it gets better...) is that behind the shank there is a smooth area. That means that any (old school bench jeweler) can easily size this ring either up or down, easily and without destroying any of the rings integrity. The widest portion of the ring measuring from head across to the tail is 3/8" across or 8mm's across. The band measures 4mm's thick behind the collar. The entire shank is round (lovely) and it slightly tapers down to 3mm's. The ring is in good round. Excellent in fact as this is a high Karat Gold and frankly, I am surprised that it has kept it's shape. This ring has nice weight at 5.4 grams.
The Stones.. The rose cuts and table cut diamonds are small but very sparkly in the light. They cannot be measured exactly as they are table cut however please look at the ring in my hand. It will give you a great idea of their size. The Marquis shaped ruby measures 5mm x 3mm's. The round mine cut diamond in the collar measures approximately 1 1/2mm's. The sapphires each measure approximately 3mm's each.
The detail in and around the shoulder's and band is beautiful. The Jeweler decorated the very first 2 scrolls behind the collar with deep blue enamel. The rest of the shank has hand decorated scrolls and stars however those do not have enamel work. From the over 200+ years, there is deep patina that looks very dark in those areas. I am not going to disturb it. I do not recommend that anybody disturbs it.
The Only issue to mention is that around the marquis shaped ruby, there is a tiny bit of the bezel that may be missing. Also, under my loupe I can see just a tiny, tiny bit of wear to that stone. It is not cracked, it is simply a tiny bit of gentle loving wear. I have weighed out my options. 2 weeks ago, I considered having that silver added however after consulting with those 2 long time dealer's, we have collectively decided not to touch it. The ruby is safe in its current position and will never fall out so I am leaving it as is. It is much more pronounced in the photos than in person. You will never notice it.
In closing. This is a Very Rare ring. Circa 1780 - 1800. Italian in Origin, Stamped 19K however electronically testing for 21K. All natural and undyed stones and diamonds. In my opinion, Excellent Antique condition. I encourage you to try to find a better antique snake ring... I really do not see anything, anywhere on-line that is nearly as good. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for some very, very lucky buyer. Truth be told, I absolutely hate to see this ring go. I have about 100+ more photos. Please feel free to email for additional pictures. Please excuse that piece of fuzz in my pictures, that has now been removed. I took these photos about a week ago and now we are having rain so I cannot get new photo's until it clears. Questions are Always more than welcome and frankly, encouraged. I know this is a big purchase. I really encourage you to contact me via email, or please call me. My phone number is on my homepage. Enjoy! It is absolutely as good as it gets!
Also, I will be listing these Fabulous Georgian Snake earrings biting it's own tail either today or tomorrow. Both are from Italy from the same Woman...

The Guardian, one of the UK's largest news organizations, has joined the Climate Desk, a journalistic collaboration that explores the impact—human, economic, environmental, and political—of climate change. The collaboration, whose partners include The Atlantic, the Center for Investigative Reporting, Grist, Mother Jones, Slate, Wired, and PBS' Need to Know, has the potential to reach millions daily.
"The Guardian has created a truly global news service with more readers outside Europe than within it, and we've also committed ourselves to being open to our existing and new audiences, to new technologies and to new ways of uncovering and broadcasting stories," said Damian Carrington, the Guardian's head of environment. "Climate change is a subject that requires a new approach to journalism, that cannot be contained within national borders nor understood from a single point of view. We are therefore really excited to be involved with The Climate Desk partnership and to have the opportunity to add to, and draw from, the rich coverage they offer."
Launched in March 2010, the Climate Desk is an unprecedented collaborative effort to maximize the shared brainpower and reach of its partners. For the past six months, it has been experimenting with video, data visualization, and social media integration, producing content for the partner sites that is also featured at climatedesk.org. Climate Desk producer James West, who joined the project last year, has produced a series of viral videos on everything from Republicans who believe in climate science to how the world's religions view global warming. His work complements world-class reportage from across the partnership.
"We wanted to create a multimedia lab where we could experiment with new forms of storytelling to enliven and elucidate this immense, complicated story," said Mother Jones co-editors Clara Jeffery and Monika Bauerlein, who first convened the partnership. "We're particularly thrilled to have the Guardian, with its great multimedia chops, join us at this juncture. Climate change is global, and so is the Climate Desk's reporting."
As one of the UK's oldest and most distinguished newspapers, with a substantial digital footprint in the US, the Guardian has recently become a multiplatform media juggernaut. And the publication's longstanding commitment to environmental reporting has made it an internationally trusted authority on environmental news. The first UK newspaper to launch a dedicated environment section, the Guardian has one of the biggest and most prolific environmental coverage teams in the world. You can find its environmental coverage here.

Win XP HE
I noticed that I have some email accounts under "Account Settings" that
do not show up at all in the folder pane where all the email accounts
are, etc.
Granted, I rarely use those email addresses--and perhaps at some point
had deleted them...? But I'm not sure why they would still be showed
under settings as any other email account; but not in the folder
pane--out of sync.
Is there some kind of setting that will remove accounts from the pane
yet leave them under "account Settings" I might have used inadvertently?
How do I get them back into the folder pane, if I want to seem them
there for example.....

Happy birthday to you Seas! Hope you are having a nice one.
No sign of a birthday present here (from DH) so I'm going to head into town on my lunchbreak today and go shoe shopping. Given my difficulty finding shoes that can accomodate my orthotics I'm feeling a little trepidation but my current Merrels (which I have worn everyday all summer) are looking decidedly scrappy and simply won't do for anything other than casual.
I seem to have lost all enthusiasm for my work now that I've got a week to go. Its going to be a very long week isn't it?

Here in the dead of winter, the notion of catching a few rays sounds pretty darn good, but some rays are more dangerous than others, as Anna Boudoures '12 (St. Louis, Mo.) and John Snee '11 (Washington, Pa.) have witnessed first-hand in their biology research.
Boudoures and Snee spent several weeks last summer exploring cellular DNA damage as well as potential repair paths, working closely with their adviser, Associate Professor of Biology Jeff Thompson. Using yeast cells, they examined the mutations of histones, specialized proteins that control the triggers to some DNA repair pathways.
The UV rays came into play as Boudoures and Snee intentionally damaged newly created yeast strains under a large canopy—roughly twice the size of a typical oven hood—that administered extremely intense UV rays.
These weren't the kind of rays you catch on a weekend trip to the beach. "We had to wear thick plastic gloves when we worked with the UV hood," said Boudoures. "And the rays were so strong that they actually started to alter the exterior coating of the gloves."
"The yeast cells can only be exposed to the UVs for up to 120 seconds," Snee said. "And we warn visitors to stay out when we're performing this part of the research."
Their work has been a continuation of Thompson's research, which has been funded by a grant of more than $317,000 from the National Institutes of Health.

Pat Magee has dismissed Carl Froch's cries for a rematch against Mikkel Kessler.
And the manager of Brian Magee says they are not listening to Froch's statements before the Lisburn southpaw meets Kessler for the WBA Super middleweight title in Denmark on December 8.
Froch - who defended his IBF World title against Yusaf Mack in Nottingham on Saturday night - has craved a rematch with Kessler ever since he lost a narrow points decision to the Dane.
However, he believes the 'Viking Warrior' is now keen to avoid him.
Froch said: "I speak to Kessler and have asked him about the fight and what he thinks and he's umming and ahing, then he mentions a silly figure, money-wise.
"He gets paid well in Denmark to fight mediocre fighters, so the last thing he wants to do is fight me, especially after he was sitting ringside to watch what I did to Lucian Bute.
"He's probably thinking 'you know what, I enjoy life too much - life's too short to go through that again'.
"So unless he gets paid masses of money - silly money - he's probably not going to take the fight. I might be wrong."
And Pat Magee says he hopes Kessler is thinking about a big payday against Froch.
"Hopefully Kessler is looking ahead of his fight with Brian and hopefully he is also overlooking Brian - because we all know what happens to fighters that get ahead of themselves.
"And all this is coming from Froch - we have heard nothing from Kessler.
"And let us be honest - Froch was talking about Kessler and Andre Ward - because he was trying to sell his fight against Mack.
"Where was the interest in Froch fighting Mack? There was none - so he brought Kessler into the picture. Mack was never going to trouble Froch - as he was a light heavyweight who had boiled himself down to make the weight," added Magee.

This material must not be used for commercial purposes, or in any hospital or medical facility. Failure to comply may result in legal action.
Juvenile Arthritis
Juvenile arthritis (JA) is a long-term autoimmune disease that causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints. Some children have symptoms for only a few months, others for the rest of their lives. It happens when the immune system attacks the tissues in the joints. Most children with JA have periods of remission with minimal joint deformity or loss of function.
CARE AGREEMENT:You have the right to help plan your child's care. Learn about your child's health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your child's caregivers to decide what care you want for your child.
Surgery may cause your child to bleed or get an infection. If left untreated, JA can be very painful and cause problems with your child's growth and daily activities. JA may involve other organs in the body, such as the eyes, heart, or liver.
Informed consent
is a legal document that explains the tests, treatments, or procedures that your child may need. Informed consent means you understand what will be done and can make decisions about what you want. You give your permission when you sign the consent form. You can have someone sign this form for you if you are not able to sign it. You have the right to understand your child's medical care in words you know. Before you sign the consent form, understand the risks and benefits of what will be done to your child. Make sure all of your questions are answered.
Emotional support:
Stay with your child for comfort and support as often as possible while he is in the hospital. Ask another family member or someone close to the family to stay with your child when you cannot be there. Bring items from home that will comfort your child, such as a favorite blanket or toy.
- Pain medicine: Your child may need medicine to decrease pain. Learn how often your child should get the medicine and how much he should get. Watch for signs of pain. Tell caregivers if his pain continues or gets worse.
- Antirheumatics: These may slow the progress of JA, and reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
- Steroids: These are given to decrease inflammation.
- Biologic therapy: These may help decrease joint swelling, pain, and stiffness. These medicines can increase the risk of serious infections and require careful monitoring.
- Joint x-ray: This is a picture of the bones and tissues in your child's joints. Your child may be given dye as a shot into the joint before the x-ray. This dye will help your child's joint show up better on the x-ray. Tell the caregiver if your child has ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye. A joint x-ray with dye is called an arthrogram.
- MRI: This scan uses powerful magnets and a computer to take pictures of your child's joints. An MRI may show inflammation or joint damage. Your child may be given dye to help the pictures show up better. Tell the caregiver if your child has ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye. Do not let your child enter the MRI room with anything metal. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell the caregiver if your child has any metal in or on his body.
- Physical therapy: A physical therapist can help teach your child exercises to help improve his movement and strength, and to decrease pain. An occupational therapist can teach him skills to help with play and daily activities.
- Surgery: This may be needed if your child's joints become severely affected. Surgery can be done to take out all or part of the joint and replace it with an artificial joint. This may be done to ease pain and repair the joint. It may also be done if the bones in your child's spine are pressing on the nerves.

It took about a week for my 12 hear old son to break this lever. I do not know if he is that destructive or if the lever is that poorly made.
Very impressed, the fitment and finish of this part is just as good as the OE. I was a little afraid of how the lever would look and fit but upon arrival I was already please on how well build this lever was. Once I start installing it I was even more pleased, the lever went right in without any discrepancy.
I got tired of being stabbed by the sharp broken lever on my '99 ninja 250 so I replaced the lever. This is practically identical to the original one, except it doesn't hurt me as much. If you wang your head on it while the bike is up on the lift it just makes you feel stupid instead of making you bleed. That's a plus. Went with this because it was less expensive than OEM.
the lever went on easy and worked great, a perfect match to OEM spec. thanks motorsport!
It looks sylish and was super easy to install
This lever is identical to the original and it cost $15 less than the Honda lever.
this replaced my stock lever with no problem
Was purchased as a replacement brake lever for one that brake. Looks like original and was very easy to replace. So far it is working well.
simple enough to install , should last a while.
By far a better quality part than the original Suzuki part on my 92 GSXR.
Direct fit, great look, you couldn't ask for a better part of the money.
Just a great product at a great price. Easy installation, exact fit, great functionality.
this item was easy to put on and get back on the track. Shipping was fast
I got this because it was a lot cheaper then OEM, the way i ride i go through a lot of levers.
I bought this lever after the one I bought previously from another place broke while I was installing it because the casting was so thin. Its held up to a full season of abuse with no problems. No bells and whistles, just works, for a good price.
The installation was extremely easy and took less than 5 minutes. Took the bike out for test run to see how well the product worked. It worked very well and feels durable. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Good cheap lever replacement. Light weight and fit easily.
facil y rapido de isntalar motor sport envio mi parte rapido y buen servicio. easy and fast to install moto sport shipped fast and good customer services.
Reasonable price, reasonable quality, does the job, just what I wanted.
is this for a cable brake or hydraulic?
Here is a link to the lever you are looking for:

Parque del Retiro
The Parque del Retiro is Madrid's most visited park and one of the city's most exciting spaces. Originally constructed as a royal place of outdoor entertainments, the Retiro Park combines swathes of natural beauty with stunning statues and monuments.
Holidaymakers wishing to explore the charms of the Parque del Retiro should stay at a nearby hotel in Mardrid city centre. The Radisson Blu Hotel, Madrid Prado provides elegant accommodation at the heart of the Spanish capital, allowing guests to explore the Retiro Park in style.
Things to do at Parque del Buen Retiro
The Retiro Park gained prominence under the watchful eye of the Count Duke of Olivares and became a playground for Hapsburg monarchs.
Today it is packed full of wondrous sights for visitors to enjoy, with the Monument to Alfonzo XII perhaps the most magnificent. Opened in 1922, the 30-metre-high equestrian statue strikes an imposing figure flanked by four stone lions.
The beautiful Crystal Palace and Velázquez Palace are two of the Parque del Buen Retiro's main architectural attractions. The neoclassical buildings were originally designed as exhibition halls and continue to display arts and crafts for visitors of the Retiro Park to enjoy.
The park is also home to a wide variety of street performers and local stalls. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides through the grounds and appreciate the free concerts and puppet shows at the grandstand or hire a rowboat on the park's artificial lake.
Staying in Madrid
The Radisson Blu Hotel, Madrid Prado is ideally located to allow guests to visit the city's top attractions such as Retiro Park or the atmospheric Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Offering an excellent on-site Spanish restaurant, visitors will be able to relax in style in the hotel's 54 exquisite rooms.

Honey Lime Chicken
Prep time
5 mins
Cook time
30 mins
Total time
35 mins
So different! Yes, lime, honey and black pepper makes this chicken spectacular!
Karlynn Johnston
Recipe type:
main course,chicken
1 tsp pepper
⅓ cup of honey
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp lime zest
2 cloves of garlic
Chicken Coating:
1 egg
1 cup of flour
1 tbsp lime zest
1 tbsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
⅓ cup margarine
6-8 pieces of chicken
Kick the tires and light the fires to 400 degrees.
The store only had Key limes. It takes a lot to get juice out of these little buggers but I was craving a lime chicken.
Whisk together all your dry ingredients for the coating in a bowl. Beat the egg in a smaller bowl.
Dip the chicken in the flour first.
Then in the egg.
Then back into the flour for a good coating.
Place on either a well greased sheet or a foil lined one. I think next time I will grease the sheet instead, it makes the bottom of the chicken crispier.
Now sprinkle the black pepper over the top, I used freshly ground pepper.
Chop up your garlic and zest yourself some lime.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and cook for a few minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is done, all wonderfully golden and crispy like below.

As the Canadiens get ready to play the Bruins in game four tonight, schools are gearing up for the game too.
Some are having Habs days, and it's causing more controversy than expected, at least in one school.
Some English Montreal School Board (EMSB) principals have been letting children wear their Habs jersey to school during the playoffs.
But this week a child who wore a Bruins jersey at Honoré-Mercier Elementary School in St-Leonard was only permitted to wear it at the end of the day.
"The teacher told him I don't think it's a good idea to put it on; in the end, they let him wear it at the end of the day," Mike Cohen, spokesperson with the EMSB said.
"They do not believe it's in the best interest of the student, where 99 percent of the kids are wearing red and Habs jerseys, to be walking around the hallways with a Bruins jersey, it's just a provocation."
That child's parents complained and now none of the kids at that school are allowed to wear their jerseys.
"As a result, the school has decided there's going to be no more Habs jersey day, one parent complained, we don't need any type of conflict. It won't affect other schools," Cohen said.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board went through a similar situation last year when a child tried to wear an Ottawa Senators jersey at Maple Grove Elementary.
The Lester B. board now says kids can wear any sports jersey they like.
