"C.D. Wright belongs to a school of exactly one."-The New York Times Book Review
"Wright braids some of her most personal and intimate poetry to date with an extended meditation on the consequences of America's contemporary stance toward other countries."-Publishers Weekly, starred review
"C.D. Wright has an uncanny and characteristic reverence for both the vernacular and the esoteric, which leads to riveting and rare depictions of American culture. . . . It's been a while since I read an entire book of poetry in rapture. After finishing Rising, Falling, Hovering, I was reminded of why I love the medium, what it can do."-The Stranger (Seattle)
Deeply personal and politically ferocious, Rising, Falling, Hovering addresses the commonly felt crises of our times-from illegal immigration and the specific consequences of empire-building to the challenges of parenting and the honesty required of human relationships.
About the other night I know you are sorry I am sorry too We were tired Meand my open-shut-case mouth You and your clockwork disciplines And I know it istoo far to go But we can't leave it to the forces to rub out the color of the world
C.D. Wright is the author of a dozen collections of poetry and prose. A recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, Wright is a professor of English at Brown University and lives outside Providence, Rhode Island.

Amazing time saver for easily "structural comment" grunt work, and even
The installer not working ... it's realy a not free addon????? :D
Jason Williams March 20 2016
| Edit |
Please, if you have a problem installing, let us know and we'll help you fix it - problems occur only if the Visual Studio install or configuration are corrupt, which can normally be easily rectified.
Can have invalid XML documentation when dealing with generics. Does not un-install nicely.
Jason Williams January 22 2015
| Edit |
If you have examples of problem(s), please let us know and we'll fix them, often within 24 hours.
This is a must-have tool and worth every penny. It works great out of the box, but with a small amount of configuration to tailor it to your code style it practically writes the docs for you. Moreover, the formatting tools make updating comments after a refactor easy.
Works as expected. The tool is a constant companion.
Awesome add-in!!! Many thanks to the developer of it :) I use this with EnhancedComment
Excellent Tool!
Great product for documenting. It works great for Doxygen. Quite pleased.
well, i just found it two days a go, have tried many addons like this before and never got what i wanted, so, when i downloaded the trial version i was telling myself that it's waste of time again, but after one hit and getting the resault, in both c# winapplication and even c#script for unity 3D game development, i called my friend that had a bank account out side of country and told him that i want it in less than 3 hours ! god i never was happier than this about spending dollars on something other than minecraft !
Great tool - I would not be without it!
It's the 3rd tool I recommend to developers and install myself, it's simple, intuitive and highly customisable as it should be.
As a professional programmer for over 30 years, I have experienced and used many programmer support applications. Atomineer stands tall amongst those, with an understanding and focus on solving the problem at hand.
It has saved me countless hours of copy pasting documentation templates and mindlessly typing in the same things. Now, I manually write the 10% of the documentation which is worth 90% and the rest is automatically generated. No matter your hourly rate, you will get back your 10$ the very first day.
Impressed enough to pay for the full version. It is a lot more configurable than Ghostdoc, which was always a good product in itself. I'm converted.
Works well and saves me a lot of time documenting methods, properties, values etc. Adds surprisingly good comments for uncommented code, but maintains the text of your own comments if they already exist.
I use it everyday!

Little things that can be big things
Pondering seems to be something that I do while sitting on the back porch, always amazed at the world God has given us, from the green grass to the blue sky. While doing just that the other day, I too considered the people He has sent into my life and the kind things some of them have done for me. Little things. And, yet, things I won't forget.
My sister, Nancy, just spent the month of June with me, traveling all the way from Colorado. This spring, her daughter's high school band was fortunate enough to make a trip to Hawaii, where they spent about five days.
Nancy brought me several very nice gifts from that paradise state, but there was one I treasure a bit more: A small, pure white piece of coral. She knew I have only twice been to the ocean – and never to Hawaii – so she tucked away that piece of coral and brought it back to me. When she saw it washed up on the beach, she thought of her sister back home in the mountains. That small gesture on her part – a little thing – touched my heart more than she knew.
My sister-in-law, Darlene, lost her father about a year ago, her mother having passed several years ago. To Darlene fell the task of cleaning out the home place and deciding what to do with so many treasures she found there.
In doing so, she brought to me a small ceramic pitcher and lid, painted with daisies, that she had made for her mother. She said she wanted me to have it. Just a little thing that sits on my back porch table each summer now with a dainty flower of some sort, blooming and reminding me of Darlene's kindness. The flower this summer is called "Fantasia", bearing small pink blossoms. I think of her every time I look at it and the fact that she thought of me.
My neighbors across the way, Bill and Terri, are of the very best kind. They come from large families, and to them falls the celebration of holidays on their patio. There's always quite a crowd, with Bill in charge of the grill.
They know, of course, that I am widowed and cook for just me. Already this summer, during their family cookouts, they have delivered meals to me on four different holidays -and even added two dinners to the delivery while sister Nancy was visiting!
It may seem a little thing to them, but it surely is more than that to me. In the middle of their family get-together, they take the time to prepare me a plate. How neighborly is that?
This next kind gesture really was a bit more than a little thing perhaps. Neighbor Joe and I are garden buddies, a relationship originally established between Joe and my husband before he passed away.
This year my garden efforts were running late; I knew things needed to be in the ground. I really panicked when I looked out one morning and saw Joe tilling his. I hurried up my inside chores, headed for the back door, and stopped dead in my tracks. There was Joe, in my garden, with his tiller, churning away. And not only did he go over it once, he did it twice, just to be sure. How do you thank someone for a "little thing" like that?
In the middle of my back yard stands a Lombardi poplar we planted about 25 years ago. I have always hung birdfeeders on its limbs, and my husband, Bob, and I used to sit and watch all the different birds come to feed, including, at times, a surprise visit from a male woodpecker.
I read that they prefer suet and mentioned to him that I needed a "shelf" in the tree to put a suet tray. When I came home from work one day, he led me to the back yard, and pointed at the poplar where a rough "shelf" was positioned in the fork of the two main limbs.
It was nothing fancy, just three pieces of old lumber nailed together, but he had taken the time to make it for me among the many other things that he had to do that day. The tree has grown and crowded out the shelf, pieces of which fell to the ground just a few weeks ago. It had been there for at least 15 years. It was just a little thing . . .
There may be little things you have considered doing for someone, but you thought them coincidental, unimportant. Think again. They may mean more than you realize. After all, it seems to be the little things that make the biggest

A bowl of white gazpacho, smooth as almond silk, with a delicate swirl of guajillo chile oil and three purple orbs suspended in the center. Let one burst in your mouth and it's a gentle explosion of pure grape flavor.
Three walnut-size pumpkin fritters, the edges hot and crisp, the centers creamy, rich and lightly sweet. Each is finished with a dot of paddlefish roe, a saline exclamation point; they're paired with a dainty peekytoe crab salad, nicely cool next to the hot fritters.
Now a plump, golden-brown roasted quail stuffed with exotically spiced rice. A beguiling, velvety cashew-saffron sauce surrounds it, drizzled with an emerald green curry-leaf oil.
These are the flavors of Spain, the Eastern Mediterranean and India as interpreted by Stephan Pyles at Samar, his new Arts District restaurant.
When word of the concept - featuring dishes inspired by those three cultures - was unleashed a few months before Samar opened in October, it sounded too crazy to work. How many cuisines can one kitchen tackle successfully? Could all those flavors possibly work together?
But Pyles, with the help of chef Vijay Sadhu, has brought it all together, beautifully and seamlessly.
Choose a few small plates ("inspirations" as the menu calls the dishes) from each culture and they add up to anything from a snack to a feast. Though the cuisines are segregated into three menus, the flavors have no problem whatsoever getting along at the table; it's total harmonic convergence.
The dining room's palette - jade green and zucchini-blossom orange and topaz - evokes a kind of Oriental romance. You can take a seat at the glowing onyx bar for a "sensualite" cocktail (pineapple vodka, mint, lime and cava) and a Turkish lahmacun pizza, warm, soft flatbread folded over gorgeously spiced lamb. Or camp out at the tandoori bar, watching tandoori master Sanjay Desai fire up Indian naan with rosemary and garlic (wonderful with the tamarind-chipotle chutney).
The small main dining room is sleek and modern, with bare tables set close together and a few well-chosen exotic touches such as beaded lanterns from Syria and co-owner George Majdalani's native Lebanon. There are also two cushier rooms that can be reserved for larger parties (otherwise it's first-come, first-seated).
The plates range from simple, as in blistered green chiles with hickory-smoked sea salt (pimentos de padrone), to more formal, as in zucchini blossoms stuffed with haloumi cheese (haloumi bil zahrat laateen). Coated lightly with panko and fried, they're served with a brilliant pomegranate- green olive salad.
I loved the cerdo asado con manzanas - two columns of grilled pork tenderloin, tender pink inside, with meltingly soft bites of roasted apple and a light vanilla-saffron sauce. Ditto the koyla kandi ka machli - a square of garam-masala- scented tandoor-roasted halibut, its flesh as slippery as satin, topped with a layer of gently spiced eggplant pâté and paired with coconut rice.
A few dishes excited me less, even if they were well-executed: peekytoe crab fritters with celery-citrus salpicon, and Persian-spiced fried chicken with fenugreek mashed potatoes. I did love those potatoes, though, with their hauntingly exotic fenugreek finish. Manti maa lehme, Turkish dumplings filled with spiced beef, came in a wonderful yogurt-garlic
sauce swirled with paprika butter, but their pasta wrappers were a bit heavy.
And a few dishes thrilled on one visit, but disappointed a bit on another. That was the case with the pumpkin kofte (those meatball-shaped fritters) and the zucchini blossoms, delicious but lacking in precision the second time around.
Probably the most elaborate dish is "tres vasos," three layered parfaits. I still dream about how great they were on my first visit - one with ruby grapefruit supremes and a lemon grass- ginger gelée, topped with a cloud of feta foam; another with pumpkin flan, incredible tiny shrimp poached just to opacity and orange "air"; a third with figs suspended in a custardy foie gras "brûlée," topped with crisped shavings of Serrano ham. The figs had been sautéed in butter than deglazed with sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry - incredible. Tasting each vaso, layer upon layer, seemed like a little voyage.
Next time, the grapefruit vaso was too liquidy and the pumpkin vaso too sweet. The foie gras vaso, however, was just as splendid as the first time.
Another issue: It's not always easy to share plates. You'd better be pretty intimate with the person you're sharing the vasos with - or willing to catch his cold. When a server delivers a sampler of three cone-shaped papadums with different fillings in a metal stand, she explains the best way to share is to spoon a little of the filling from each onto your plate and break off a piece of the papadum cone to go with it. Yes, that works, but you completely lose the effect of taking a bite of that crisp cone with the cool filling.
On the other hand, unlike many other small-plates restaurants, at Samar, serious thought seems to go into the order in which the dishes come out of the kitchen. And the staff paces them well. Places are reset between rounds, so you're not made to use the same little plate over and over, as in many tapas bars.
Not only is the service extremely attentive, gracious and helpful, there's also lots of waitstaff. In fact, Samar delivers a level of service and quality of food that's pretty astounding for such a reasonably priced restaurant. Those cunning "grapes" in the white gazpacho may be a product of better living through molecular gastronomy (it's a technique called "reverse spherication," in which grape purée is combined with sodium alginate then dropped into calcium lactate, which causes a skin to form) but the dish is only $6. In fact all the dishes are priced between $6 and $12, with the great majority in the single digits. The staff suggests two or three small plates per person.
But wait: There's more. The small, thoughtful wine list is adventuresome and original, with almost half the bottles priced at $35 or less, including lots of good Spanish selections and even wines from Greece. A littler pricier are reds from Lebanon and Israel. The stemware's correct and even beautiful, and the by-the-glass selections are terrific. I loved the two whites from Spain, a 2006 Artadi "Orobio" viuria from Rioja and a crisp 2008 Hermanos del Villar Oro de Castilla Verdejo from Rueda, both $10 per glass.
Desserts are compelling, especially the dense, satiny Turkish coffee pot de crème (or you can order an excellent Turkish coffee). I also loved the labne (Middle Eastern yogurt cheese) pudding with apricot glaze and Marcona almonds. And the lovely saffron-coconut rice pudding with cardamom. The ice cream cone filled with pistachio and rose ice cream and mastic gum, not so much. (That gum is gummy.)
But wait: There's still more - that is if you're up for retiring to the patio for narguile shisha (you might be ready to escape the music, which can be annoyingly loud). Cozy up to the fire pit and an attendant will fill a hookah with your choice of flavored tobacco and fire it up. We chose cardamom-orange. (Most popular, an attendant told us, is rose.) He gave each of us a plastic mouthpiece to fit over the pipe when it was our turn to puff. And puff you must - don't inhale. The flavor and the sensation were wonderful - delicate little blasts of spicy orange that are a perfect dessert's dessert.
Pyles and Majdalani have hit upon exactly the right restaurant for this moment in Dallas, great for a quick pre- or post-concert or -theater bite. Or, even better, for a full-blown dinner that can be so transporting you might not feel so bad if a vacation's out of the question this year.
And you know what? Next time I go, I might not share those plates. I might just order three or four for myself. Call me selfish, but I might just find nirvana.

What's That Over Yonder?
What we have here, Pardner, is a links page that will allow you to travel on to some other Western-related sites. Some of these are among my favorites, while others just sort of showed up along the trail, like mavericks waiting to have a brand placed on 'em.

The Chisholm Trail Heritage Center (formerly known as On the Chisholm Trail Statue and Museum) was established in 1998 to commemorate and celebrate the history and heritage of the old Chisholm Trail and the other great cattle trails of the late 19th Century. The Center includes the largest bronze sculpture in Oklahoma and an adjacent museum and visitor center. Inside the museum, displays and galleries put you on the old Trail. From the economic forces stimulating the cattle industry after the Civil War, to the entrepreneurs and cattle barons who made it happen, and on to the cowboys, the native Americans, the cavalry, the cattle, and the terrain, the Heritage Center tells the complete story of the famous Trail. You don't want to miss this on any trip along the Chisholm Trail.
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum preserves and interprets the heritage of the American West for the enrichment of the public. The 200,000-square-foot complex features artwork by the finest contemporary artists in the nation, as well as significant works by master artists such as Charles Russell, Frederic Remington, and Albert Bierstadt; James Earle Fraser's famous 18-foot sculpture, End of the Trail (shown here), Colorado sculptor Gerald Balciar's 16,000-pound white marble cougar, named Canyon Princess, and Windows to the West, five breathtaking Western landscapes by Albuquerque artist, Wilson Hurley; Prosperity Junction, a 14,000-square-foot turn-of-the-century Western town; and major exhibition galleries. (Last time I was there, you could see John Wayne's doll collection!) You don't want to miss this if you're ever in Oklahoma City.
Jesse Chisholm's Web site offers all sorts of information about the Chisholm clan and lineage. Jesse himself is both namesake and great-great-great-grandson of the famous Chisholm Trail Jesse, and he includes all sorts of genealogical information about his ancestor and other members of the extended Chisholm family. There are also links and information about food, cats, wine, armor and, oh, all sorts of things Chisholm. (I like this guy, even though we haven't met. Visit his site!)

Not the greatest texture but well balanced and filling. A bit 'soupy', as was the piri piri chicken, which was not what I was expecting, but when on offer then for just over a pound a pouch can't argue. Ready in under three minutes so perfect when in a rush or if you have access to a microwave at lunch.
You can choose any one of the flavours, all great tasting if your after a snack or a small meal replacement these are ideal. I thought about getting the soup, got put off with the reviews, i would say these are like having chunky soupsGoes Well With:Bagels and peanut butter.
Great overall meal but just a tad too soupy for me - problem solve if you mix in some cooked rice etc. Goes Well With:Rice and Jamaican hot sauce
I've tried most of the meals, and this is one I look forward to. As with the other meals, I find a pinch of pink salt or light soy sauce go a long way from taking this from a standard meal to a really tasty one. I find these meals a little bit too "soupy" for my liking and sometimes add the protein pasta to 'thicken' the meal a bit - however my boyfriend likes the soupyness so it could just be a problem for me! They're really satisfying (and I'm stuffed if I've added the pasta too!) but my boyfriend would have a shake and a bar afterwards to feel the same satisfaction. I would definitely buy this flavour again.
The ready meals are very convenient and pack good nutritional value but the Moroccan chicken one is a bit tasteless, the rest are very nice.
As part of my weight control programme a definite plus.Goes Well With:on its own
These portion sizes are perfect for me. Flavour on this one was too sweet for my tastebuds. Felt it needed more Moroccan flavour..seasoning..prefer the other flavours. That said its priced well and was full of meat.
I'm not a fan of sweet with savoury so I was hesitant to try this. However, the mango sauce was very subtle and other flavours in the meal were delicious. Not my favourite but enjoyable.
Working in a town where you are surrounded by unhealthy food options at lunchtime, these ready meals are a god send. I was quite skeptical at first as to whether they would taste of much and whether i'd be left feeling hungry afterwards. Having tried all of the chicken varieties this is my least favourite, i love the Thai Chicken and the Peri Peri is very good. My only complaint with this is i find it a little on the sweet side. I first tried these pouches on there own but i was left feeling a little hungry afterwards, i know have them with a plain microwave rice and that keeps me full until dinner time. I'd highly recommend these to anyone who doesn't have a lot of time at lunch or dinner but still wants to eat something good for them. The price point is decent and usually works out cheaper than your supermarket meal deals. Goes Well With:Any Rice or Cous Couse
I would put it at more or less the same level as the other protein meals. It's got the same issues, too: namely that I'm still hungry after it...Goes Well With:Not sure
It actually tastes a lot better than what you would've expected. You can easily mix it up with something else, i mixed mine up with some vegetables once, and rice.Goes Well With:Rice, vegetables.
Very practical, tasty and good value for money.
I purchased these to have as quick meals at lunch, or if I am home late from work. they look awful, but what can you reall expect from a pouch? I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. while these are on offer I got a box of these and the chilli, though I have yet to try that. The chicken in this does remind me of the taste of the tins of pork n beans I would have as a child. Goes Well With:My stomach
I bought the moroccan chicken to have as a light post workout meal because I find taking post workout protein shakes fill me up for hours and this is light enough to fill the gap until my next meal. The taste isn't bad at all but the meal itself was a bit on the runny side although for the price you really can't complain. Will buy these again because they really are so convenient, no prep time, no mess, just a couple of mins in the microwave and its ready. I haven't tried them cold yet but if you don't have a microwave these are ready to eat.
great product to take to work to get a nutritionally balanced lunch. taste is not to my liking but is OK will be ordering much more of the chili as out of the four that is my favorite.
Will use this same review for all 4 varieties as I've tried them all and can't fault them. Taste-wise the Moroccan chicken and thai chicken are my faves. They're all decent though. Maybe the chilli con carne repeats on you a little but nothing nasty. I now tend to have these at work for lunch. There's certainly nothing the canteen can serve up that's less than 300 calories but still supplies me with 30g of protein! They genuinely make me feel full afterwards too. Just wish there was a couple more varieties to choose from, and perhaps a little more fibre in them (between 2-5g per meal)
I have bought three flavours of these protein meals to use at work. I find them very handy for a quick protein meal and help resist the urge of eating the rubbish they serve us at work. I have to say this is probably the worst tasting meal I have ever tried, even the stench is revolting. I will be purchasing the myprotein meals again, but certainly not the moroccan chicken meal again.Goes Well With:Burnt tastebuds.
After purchasing and enjoying the Thai chicken meal, this was on offer and it tastes great the flavour is good and not over powering and the mix of ingredients packs it with protein and important minerals. Would definitely recommend.Goes Well With:TV
This tastes terrible! You certainly would never choose to have this meal - not the fault of myprotein but it just doesn't taste all that great but i'm sure it's fit for purpose. Ill try some of the others.
Ok, so i bought the morrocan chicken, chilli con carne and piri piri chicken. Gotta say i love all 3 flavours. I was very suprised in all honesty as whilst MP do amongst the very best products available, i don't think they get it right with all their protein type meals/snacks. But these are so nice, in fact i'm gonna give one of the moroccan chicken ones to my wife on a plate and see what she thinks (without telling her what it is) :) I recommend these meals, but a little pricey in my opinion. Not sure i'd buy again at full price.
never tried quinoa before, or even moroccan flavour foods before, but when stuff is on offer, why not? actually surprised how nice this is - and i'm glad about that as i bought 18! ideal in my work food bag for quick meal. will now try the others in the range. thanks MPGoes Well With:microwave, bowl & spoon. lol
Excellent product! Tastes fantastic and is more than filling enough for a main meal.
Tried this yeasterday. The meal was alright, I mean, what do you expect from this kind of meal? Not really my taste style, however I'll note the purpose of this product. I do hope the others taste a bit better, as I've bought quite alot. Cheers
Happy to report I am delighted with another tasty meal from the MP guys. Nearly tried all the range - can't wait for the next one.
Wow. What a result. a two minute meal, and absolutely delicious. Stacked with chicken. Lunches will never be the same again. Bring it on MP.
Great tasting, nutrionally perfect and really convenient.
Got a sample of this before it went on sale, taste brilliant, good amount of protein.

I love that it is the best !!!
Like it...
Do not care so much...
Do not like it at all...
There needs to be a cock in there somewhere... I don't know if that makes me semi-homosexual, but so be it.
Lexi Belle with Blue Angel
I haven't seen one where they "mount" each other with a double-dildo and "grind" on each other
until its completely buried in this position. Which it ain't like I watch porn, so there may be some out there.
It's just a fantasy scene I'd like to watch.
2 super cute chics. I love the little titties!!!
Just got a hold of this one: http://www.megavideo.com/?d=TET29ORF
Now THAT is the kind of lesbian porn I like, heh
the abbywinters site for me. Younger (but legal) women, almost always more cute than becuatiful, having at it. Best part... it looks real. it always looks like you just happened to be passing by the window when the cute chick next door and friend decide to get naked together. Lots of undressing, kissing, holding, touching, humping, licking... and seldom a toy to be found.
They also aren't afraid to have women with a few (but not a lot) extra pounds. I like chunky chicks with bouncy boobs.
As the old saying goes... It's more important to look real than to be real.
here's the photo shoot page: I like the young cute girl on girl, like these.
I like to watch it sometimes. When I start seeing 2 beautiful babes kissing passionatly, I get hard before I know what even hit me. I think it has something to do with fantasizing my cock between their lips
I have to say the oral is kind of boring for me, if not shown right. i find the kissing and caressing eachother more passionate.
Ohhh... some of these are Met Art Models NICE! Nella I recognized right away.

I guess I also like when they toy play with soft realistic shape dildos and double-dildos too.
DAMN, that Caprice (brunette) is my FAVORITE young little thing!! And Francesca ain't bad either!
Lezzie action is okay..but it gets boring quick. The girls are either not into it (cuz they're straight and all) or that I find carpet munching and scissoring really dull.
There are some pics that make me want to find a video of to watch some real action, like the one I posted of Double the Pleasure, with Caprice & Francesca. <-- if anyone can find a link to that video, please help me out!!!
But 98% of my porn viewing is photos only. And I get MUCH pleasure in the viewing.
Quite a nice thread. Haven't seen this one. Lezporn? I like anything with Zafira in it. Regular, cock-in-pussy porn? I like anything with Zafira in it. There are some quite nice pics way, way down in this thread. Not of Zafira, but nice nonetheless. Thanks for posting...
nice! post more!!!
Simply gorgeous...
best post ever. love all this snatch. love girls eating other girls asses.
#42 -#43 - amazing
i mainly find myself jerking off to girls doing anal scenes but very much enjoy getting right into some lez porn for a change every now and again
for sure or the only dude in the mix!
nice pic for some reason it looks more artful then sexy
I like it. But I can not get off to a scene with a strapon. I can't pinpoint the reason, I just don't like them

Learning to be a lifelong mentor and teacher of others only comes with first-hand experience and practice. The Fellowship includes the opportunity to help teach a master's level course with Senior Medical Planner, Anthony Haas. I have found this course to be of high interest to those that enroll and to me as well. During the course, the Fellow has a couple opportunities to give a lecture. I was able to practice my presentation skills through a lecture on the history of healthcare architecture.
Since I started at WHR, there has been an increased interest in piloting an intern/mentor program within the firm. Championing the effort, Amanda Scott (Interior Designer/Architectural Intern) has initiated an energetic team of people to make it a success. As the Emerging Professional's Companion (EPC) Co-Coordinator, I have been able to put a couple lunch-time activities together for the in-house architectural interns completing their Intern Development Program (IDP) hours for licensure. I hope to see this program grow in the upcoming months.

CLEMSON The Clemson mens basketball team has sometimes encouraged, often maddened, and consistently produced inconsistency to date.
But thats what coach Brad Brownell expected from his Tigers (8-4) as they prepare to open ACC play against Florida State (8-5) at 4 p.m. today at Littlejohn Coliseum.
Clemson is more athletic and talented than it was a year ago. The Tigers trailed by just two points with eight minutes to play against No. 10 Gonzaga in November, before falling late. Clemson had a 44-40 lead over No. 3 Arizona with 10:24 to play last month, before falling short of an upset.
Clemson has rarely put 40 minutes of quality basketball together. Sometimes the Tigers have offered a paltry few good minutes, like in an upset loss to Coastal Carolina on Dec. 19.
Brownell expected inconsistency from a team with just two upperclassmen on the roster, and the Clemson coach knows the margin for error will shrink in a conference where Clemson was projected to finish eighth.
There are things weve done well, but the problem is as soon as we think we are good at something, two days later we are not very good at it, Brownell said. Thats the problem with young teams.
What is encouraging about Clemson is it is a much more athletic team than a year ago, thanks to the emergence of young players like freshman guard Adonis Filer.
Sophomore K.J. McDaniels a small forward is third in the ACC in blocks, averaging two per game for the Tigers, who lead the ACC in blocks with 5.2 per game.
The added athleticism has improved Clemsons ball pressure on defense, which is one of the teams strengths. Clemson is second in the ACC in steals per game (8.2), trailing only North Carolina, and second in turnover margin (plus-3.8), trailing only Duke.
Clemson should be able to pressure Florida States young guards.
(Ball pressure) has been good, and its been great at times, Brownell said. Its been better than last year in most cases. It needs to be good for us to be good defensively. I think Adonis (Filer) and Rod (Hall) have both done of a very good job defending the ball, and we knew that would be a strength or our team.
But Clemson also has pronounced weaknesses.
Clemson ranks 10th in the ACC in scoring (66.7 ppg) and it lacks consistent outside shooting the Tigers shoot 33 percent from 3-point range, 10th in the ACC. The Tigers also do not have a go-to scorer who can create and convert his shot consistently. Devin Booker leads the team with a modest 11.3 points per game.
We have a defense that has proven to be one of the best in the ACC, Booker said. We just have to get the offense going and put it together to have a full game.

The North Augusta Council of Garden Clubs has long been an advocate of promoting good stewardship of natural resources. Our affiliated clubs – Carolina Hills, Palmetto and Terrace – each operate under the auspices of the South Carolina Garden Club's mission to promote all aspects of gardening through conservation and environmental protection.
As garden club members, we accomplish this through the careful selection of trees, shrubs and other plants in our home landscapes and gardens, and as we plan our garden clubs community projects.
The Council's recent search to identify landmark trees and camellias has generated several responses from our readers. Keep them coming. We are grateful for your interest and involvement. Plans are underway to visit the identified locations and meet with the property owners in the near future.
The first Arbor Day took place in 1872 in Nebraska, begun by Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902). He believed that Americans needed a day that focused on planting and preserving trees. South Carolina celebrates Arbor Day each year on Dec. 6. It gives citizens yet another opportunity to take stock of the trees on our property or in our neighborhoods. It is a good time to inspect trees, look for problem branches or evidence of disease. And, of course, plant a tree. At this time of year, you and your family may want to consider a live Christmas tree that can be planted in your landscape following the holidays, creating lasting family memories.
There are two events scheduled in North Augusta on Arbor Day that are open to the public. This Friday, at 10 a.m., there will be a tree planting in Calhoun Park located on the corner of Jackson and Carolina, a cooperative effort between the City of North Augusta and the Carolina Hills Garden Club.
A Chinese pistache tree will be planted following a short ceremony. The Chinese pistache is a medium to large deciduous hardwood tree with impressive fall colors of scarlet, crimson, orange and yellow.
Later on Friday, at 2 p.m., the City of North Augusta is hosting a short program and tree planting in Boeckh Park at Hammond's Ferry. A 13-foot mystic ice deodar cedar will be planted.
This cedar is drought tolerant and is known for its dense branches that form a 90-degree angle with its trunk, and its blue-gray colored needles.
Join us at one or both of these celebrations in recognition of Arbor Day. For more information, call 803-645-265.

By The Foodist
Up until a few months ago all new students at the Culinary Institute of America ate one meal on "Stage." The first six weeks of school are spent behind a desk in academic classes, and you are fed one of your two meals at Stage as part of your acclimation and learning experience.
The dining area was called Stage because the main dining hall, Farquharson Hall (Which used to be the chapel of the monastery that preceded the school.), there is a stage like area at the head of the room. Anyone who knows what the inside of chapel looks like, will immediately recognize that the stage is in fact the base of the altar. Stage has since moved from the main hall to the C.E. (Continuing Education) Building that also houses the schools bake shops.
I still remember my first couple meals on the original Stage, and remember the overwhelming experience of being marched down rows of white and checkered clad upperclassmen to our seats. I remember the students almost burning holes into us with their eyes, sizing up the fresh meat. I remember the students in the Introduction to Table Service class (Which is now called Banquet and Catering) who were serving us, telling us what to expect and giving us tips here and there on how to survive the campus.
Now I stand where I once sat. Moved to the C.E. building I am almost disappointed that the new students don't have to endure the staring, the nervousness of being fed a three course meal while other students shoveled in their dinners and rushed off back to class. Instead they are nestled snuggly in the C.E. dining room away from the fuss and muss of Farquharson Hall.
It's funny hearing some of the same conversations that I took part in only a short time ago. They talk about where they are coming from and where they are at: their previous kitchen experience, how very boring the first two days of orientation are (Believe you me, I must have drank more coffee in those two days then I did the whole time I've been alive), and hearing them worry about this thing and that.
It's almost impossible not to chime in as an upperclassman. A week ago today (Monday) I heard one student express worry over when he was going to get his knives. I almost chuckled to myself. It seems that more than anything everyone who comes here wants their shiny sharp playthings. I ensured him as I refilled his water glass that he would be getting them soon. I'd just finished answer him when a torrent of questions started spewing from a young looking girl with curly brown hair. Her eyes were wide and almost overwhelmed, she asked me more questions in the five minutes I stood there than I could possibly remember. It got to the point that I assured her that most of her questions would be answered as she proceeded through the courses and that things would eventually fall into place. It didn't seem to ease her nervousness at all, so I reassured her that she would be fine, just to keep her eyes open and ears to the ground.
It wasn't till the end of class the next day when I returned to my room that the truth of the matter hit me like a out of control Mac truck... I am almost done.
Less then three months stands between me and graduation, and its funny what happened next.
The same nervousness that was present those first days of eating on stage seemed to return, only this time it wasn't that I was plunging headlong into the routine of school. No, this time it was that I stood on the threshold of finishing that routine and being free to pursue my life's work. Trouble is, I have no idea where to go, or what to do!
Its amusing how that feeling should creep in the same place that it all started. Nervousness about beginning meeting nervousness about the end, both on that place they call "Stage".

While everyone is vying to have their mobile app become the "digital wallet" of choice for consumers, PayPal leapfrogged competitors with a new technology that requires no fumbling with phones at the checkout counter.
PayPal Beacon lets consumers pay for items without ever having to take their smartphone out of their pocket by tying into its Point of Sales system - via Bluetooth rather than more traditional geofencing methods.
PayPal President David Marcus announced the new offering on a post on the PayPal blog:
"Beacon is a new add-on technology for merchants that will enable consumers to pay at their favorite stores completely hands-free. Consumers will have full control of stores they will want to check in to, those they will want to get prompted to confirm payment for, and stores they will want to enable a complete hands-free experience for. In the latter case, simply walking in a store will trigger a vibration or sound to confirm a successful check in (this happens in milliseconds), your photo will then appear on the screen of the Point-of-Sale system so you can be greeted by name. Paying only requires a verbal confirmation, and you're done. No wallet. No card. Nothing to do. Not even touching your phone."
Marcus explained that PayPal Beacon won't constantly track users' location. "If you enter a store and decline to check in, or just ignore the prompt entirely, no information is transmitted to PayPal or the merchant."
Given PayPal's recognition of consumer security concerns, the name of the product seems unfortunate for anyone who remembers Facebook Beacon. While consumers may at first be creeped out by the idea merchants can charge them without ever having to touch their phone or wallet, convenience will probably win out.
PayPal had to play catchup when Square launched its credit card reader popular with small businesses and crafters, and there are now many Square copycats, including PayPal Here. If PayPal Beacon is attractive to storeowners and shoppers, it may also face the prospect of a host of competing products.

Emayatzy Corinealdi in "Middle of Nowhere."AFFRM
2012 African-American Film Critics Association Awards
Ben Affleck takes Best Director, Denzel Washington is Best ActorPosted Dec 16, 2012 5:44 PM By Guy Lodge @guylodge
The African-American Film Critics' Association is an interesting group on the precursor circuit -- while not explicitly dedicated to promoting black cinema and artists in the manner of, say, the Image Awards, their selections invariably reflect their identity to some extent. This year, for example, four of their five acting winners -- Denzel Washington, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Nate Parker and Quvenzhané Wallis -- are African-American.
Meanwhile, though Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" scooped yet another Best Picture gong, the group's biggest winner was African-American writer-director Ava DuVernay's "Middle of Nowhere." The indie drama landed four awards for Best Actress, Screenplay, Independent Film and Music, as well as placing at #4 on their 10 Best list. Nice to see this strong film having a day in the sun, even if its dynamite pair of supporting actresses, Lorraine Toussaint and Edwina Findley, couldn't defeat the redoubtable Sally Field. Full list of winners after the jump, and keep up with the trophy trail so far at The Circuit.

This holster is great for duty. It is made very well and is lined to keep from scratching your gun. The thumb drive is great and works just like the 511 holster but with a great improvement. It also allows you to double lock your weapon protecting you from having your weapon taken from behind, but it in no way slows you down from getting out of the holster. I would have given it 5 stars but the thumb drive is hard to press down, and seems to be getting caught on something and it makes a snapping sound when applying the necessary force to release the weapon. It may be just be the holster I got or it may just need broken in. I still would recommend this holster to any law enforcement or security personal. Note Dose not accommodate a tact light.

Get Shorty
Chili Palmer (Travolta) is a Miami shylock who finds himself looking for a new career path in life. While chasing down a collection, Chili encounters a B-movie producer named Harry Zim (Hackman) and his scream-queen star, Karen Flores (Russo). Harry has backed himself into a corner, owning money to a local hoodlum (Lindo), who tries to get a piece of the best script Harry has ever owned. In steps Chili, who loves Tinseltown and decides to become a producer. Chili and Karen approach her ex-husband, mega-movie star, Martin Weir (DeVito), to star in the film.
After a successful career as a cinematographer (Raising Arizona, Misery), Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) took his place in the director's chair. After two successful Addam's Family films, he brought Elmore Leonard's bestseller to the big screen.Continue Reading
In 1981, with newly elected rah-rah American president Ronald Reagan taking office, an anti-Communist, anti-Soviet ardor was in full swing. So it was extra amazingly audacious that pretty-boy actor Warren Beatty was able to get his giant bio of Communist journalist John Reed made. Reed, the only American buried in Russia's Kremlin, isn't exactly a household name and Reds the movie, clocking in at an epic 194 minutes, wasn't exactly a sure thing at the box-office (matter of fact, despite winning a bunch of awards, it was considered a financial disappointment in its day). Reds really is a tribute to the passion of Warren Beatty's grand vision; he produced, directed, and co-wrote the screenplay with British playwright Trevor Griffiths (with uncredited contributions from Elaine May) and managed to put together an impressive cast to back him up (Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Edward Herrmann, Paul Sorvino, Maureen Stapleton, Gene Hackman, etc). Ironic: a rich movie star makes a big expensive movie (with corporate funds) about an anti-wealth guy. In the Doctor Zhivago tradition, Reds is one of those sweeping literate love stories which was shot for over a year in five different countries; but underneath that sweep it's a very personal and intimate little movie.
After covering events in Russia, journalist John Reed (Beatty) returns to his home town of Portland to raise money for his ultra-left newspaper. There, he meets and has a fling with a married socialite named Louise Bryant (Keaton) and invites her back to New York's bohemian Greenwich Village where they both hang with many of the famous radicals of their day, like the outspoken anarchist Emma ...
Superman II
1978's Superman began to the era of the superhero film. It would still be another decade before they would become a summer rite of passage at the box office, but Superman helped usher them from small screen, low budget affairs to big splashy tent poles with classy casts. Its first and only watchable sequel, Superman II, has had a fascinating history. It was already in production while the first film was being made and its director was fired halfway through, replaced by journeyman Richard Lester. Superman II may be the last of the quality "comic" comic book films, before the much darker Batman would change the landscape.
You may recall at the beginning of the first Superman flick Marlon Brando as Superman's old man, Jor-El, sentenced three criminals - General Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa (Sarah Douglas) and the big mute, Non (Jack O'Halloran) - to a life of hurling through space stuck in a square bubble (the kind Queen used in their Greatest Hits album cover). Superman II opens with Superman (Christopher Reeve) making a big boo-boo. He tosses a terrorist's hydrogen bomb into space and its explosion frees the prisoners who make their way to Earth. But first, back on Earth, Lex Luther (Gene Hackman) escapes from prison, finds Superman's North Pole getaway, and learns much of his secret history. Meanwhile, on a trip to Niagara Falls, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) finally looks past Clark's Kent's glasses and realizes he's Superman, they go back to his ice pad and get jiggy.Continue Reading
Superman: The Movie (Director's Cut)
MEANWHILE IN A LIVING ROOM... I must say that I have never been much of a Superman fan. Into Batman. Superman, not so much. However, after stumbling into a friend's living room screening of Superman: The Movie (Director's Cut) one Saturday afternoon I can definitely appreciate the super guy more than I ever have, for several reasons.Continue Reading
The Conversation
Though Francis Ford Coppola is best known as director of bona fide American classics such as the Godfather and Apocalypse Now, The Conversation may be his purest offering of artistic expression. And though not autobiographical, the film is certainly personal and undeniably haunting.
Gene Hackman stars as Harry Caul, a lonely surveillance expert hired by a mysterious agency to record a seemingly benign conversation between a young couple. Though Caul is meant to remain unattached and unconcerned with the contents of the conversation, he soon finds himself becoming personally involved, fearing for the safety of the couple and the possibility that he may unwittingly play a role in their demise.Continue Reading
The Poseidon Adventure
After the phenomenal success in 1970 of Airport ("Grand Hotel on a Airplane"), disaster films became all the rage of '70s pop cinema. The formula consisted of a melodramatic, soapy script with a handful of Oscar winners slumming, stuck in some kind of disastrous situation ranging from earthquakes to meteors. The best of the genre was The Poseidon Adventure, about a luxury liner that gets toppled by a tidal wave and the group of passengers trying to escape (by reaching the bottom of the boat). Besides excellent special effects and a great cast, what makes The Poseidon Adventure especially unusual is the underlying religious subtext; in some ways it's also an allegory about the story of Jesus Christ and his followers.
On its final voyage across the Atlantic, passengers celebrate New Year's Eve on the SS Poseidon. We are introduced to a cross section of archetypes that will become the group we will stick with as they are all invited to sit at the captain's dinner table (played with a straight face by Leslie Nielsen). A teenage girl (Pamela Sue Martin) and her obnoxious little brother (Eric Shea) travel without their parents; a brash New York cop (Ernest Borgnine) and his ex-hooker wife (Stella Stevens), on their way to meet their grandson in Israel (via Greece?); a sweet, old retired Jewish couple (Shelley Winters and Jack Albertson) play to the appropriate clichés; a lonely, soft-spoken bachelor (Red Buttons); and, most importantly, an outspoken renegade priest, Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman). Eventually, after being forced to fall in love with the cast, a massive tidal wave strikes the ship, flipping the boat upside down; a great scene of destructive mayhem follows, with some amazing stunt work.Continue Reading
The Royal Tenenbaums
Following his indie breakthrough Bottle Rocket and his critically acclaimed sophomore effort Rushmore, director Wes Anderson creates the most complete film of his career so far. Written by him and Owen Wilson, the script is top-notch, running the gamut of human emotion while finding the humor in its flaws. The characters are unique and complex, the cast is full of brilliant actors, and the film is directed beautifully.
Screen legend Gene Hackman (Unforgiven) plays the family's patriarch, "Royal Tenebaum"-- a man of high intelligence but lacking in morals and scruples. A disgraced and disbarred lawyer, Royal dupes his family into believing he is dying of cancer in order to find his way back into their lives. Hackman is an actor who always delivers, but, in this, plays one of the most unique and hilarious characters in his very long and impressive career.Continue Reading
The Split
Produced by Robert Chartoff and Irwin Winkler (Rocky, Raging Bull, etc.), The Split is a lost relic. Besides being the first film to ever receive an "R" rating by the ratings board, it's a nifty heist film with a great cast full of fascinating credentials. Because it stars football star turned actor Jim Brown (and has Diahann Carroll as his ex-wife and a funky-lite Quincy Jones score), it's often lumped in as an early blaxploitation flick. It's not. Directed by a Scotsman, Gordon Flemyng, (who did a lot of '60s Dr. Who) and written by the great crime writer Donald Westlake (credited in the script under his equally known alias Richard Stark), this is the guy who wrote the books that became Point Blank (and later Payback), as well as The Hot Rock and The Outfit, and later wrote the script for The Grifters. So The Split could have easily been a vehicle for Lee Marvin, Rock Hudson, James Coburn or any other leading man of the era. It just so happens that Brown took the role. It's a gritty little crime flick. It barely even qualifies as crooksploitation. Yes, it's an imperfect film (chunkily directed), but it's still entertaining with some nice '68 Los Angeles locations and some wild twists.
Fresh out of the slammer McClain (Brown) is recruited by Gladys (Julie Harris) to pull a big heist at the Los Angeles Coliseum (shades of the race track robbery in Stanley Kubrick's The Killing). McClain gathers an all-star cool cast to take part in the caper: tough guy Ernest Borgnine, escape artist/racist Warren Oates (a little less oily than he was a year earlier in In The Heat of the Night), limo driver Jack Klugman and creepy hit-man Donald Sutherland (still two tears before MASH made him a star). In a very complicated robbery and clever escape, the gang gets away with over a half-million bucks. But it's after the heist when the real drama starts. It's what happens to the loot before "the split" that cause the usual problems of greed and suspicion. First, the ex-wife has a sadistic, rapey landlord (James Whitmore) who kills her and steals the money, and then a crooked cop, Walter Brill (the great Gene Hackman pre-testing for Popeye Doyle) gets involved. The film becomes a stand-off for the money between McClain, Gladys, the gang and Brill.Continue Reading

Featured Golf News
UW-Stout Launches Golf Enterprise Management Program
Beginning next year, the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie, Wisc., will implement a new Bachelor of Science degree program in Golf Enterprise Management.
According to John Wesolek, Dean of the College of Human Development where the major will be housed, The B.S. in Golf Enterprise Management, referred to as GEM, is planned in response to golf industry encouragement to address their management needs. UW-Stouts current programs in hospitality and tourism, customer service, and general business administration, and our distance learning capabilities have helped to position the University for this new program.
Our new degree program is designed to prepare graduates for entry-level management positions, with a primary focus on the management of golf course properties, continued Wesolek. The program was developed to address management needs in the golf industry. Students will receive a comprehensive baccalaureate education with courses in business, customer service, food and beverage, and retail management, in addition to golf-specific content in customer development and retention, golf course design, and turf management. The program includes existing and new curriculum from UW-Stout and three new courses in turf management developed in collaboration with UW-River Falls, said Wesolek.
While existing golf management programs stress player aptitude, the new GEM degree will place emphasis on developing business management skills related to golf, said Tom Franklin, who will serve as the GEM program director. The new program is not about playing the game of golf, but it is about the business of golf. We believe this new degree will entice greater numbers of women and minorities to plan careers in golf course management and golf-related fields, said Franklin.
The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) Board of Directors voted unanimously to endorse the development of a degree in Golf Enterprise Management at UW-Stout. According to the NGCOAs Mike Hughes, chief financial officer, This is the only endorsement of its kind ever conferred by the National Golf Course Owners Association and was only given after much consideration. We all believe that your institution is a perfect match for this program because of its hospitality programs, the excellent customer service offerings, the emphasis on applied learning and the distance learning capability.
Henry DeLozier, Vice President of Golf for Pulte Homes supports the new GEM program. "As an owner of multiple golf courses, we are most mindful of the need for a new generation of golf course people. This new business opportunity is focused on the learning of solid business practices, and principled leadership. The new program at UW-Stout builds on the premise of preparing future candidates for entry-level management positions in our industry."
"The golf industry has seen many changes over the past five years, but none will ultimately be as important to long-term success as the transition to golf as a business focused on financial profitability and yield management. With this transition comes a need for professionals with business acumen, and specifically a keen understanding of financials, marketing, economics and sales. At the same time, the tradition of golf needs to be maintained, and a strong focus on player development, agronomy, and customer service is at the forefront, Margie Traylor, President and Founding Partner for the international marketing firm, Sitewire, said in support of the GEM program.
To date, $250,000 for program development and student scholarships has been received from three generous donors: the Toro Foundation, the Kohler Company and a dedicated Stout alumnus, Bill Gehrand, owner of a property development company. This funding and recent research within Wisconsin and Minnesota suggesting strong interest in hiring GEM graduates indicates that the program should be a success. In fact, prior to formal program approval, over 200 students inquired about the program or already transferred to UW-Stout for the program. With plans to implement mens and womens varsity golf teams by fall of 2006, student interest is expected to be even greater.
Formal recruiting of students is just now beginning, with the first freshman classes planned for spring and fall 2006. Interested students should contact Program Director Tom Franklin (715/232-2242 or email@example.com) or contact UW-Stout (http://www.uwstout.edu/) for information on the program and advice on registration at UW-Stout for the B.S. in Golf Enterprise Management (GEM).

LUBBOCK - Billions of gallons of water slated for a Texas town's future could be gulped by a couple of guppies.
City planners worry that two species of prairie fish - the small eye shiner and the sharpnose shiner - could muddy plans for a major reservoir outside of Post and complicate a multimillion-dollar city council decision expected to come later this year.
Neither of the species of small, silvery fish is considered threatened or endangered. But the reservoir that planners believe is important to the city's future water supply could push the rare, long-distance swimmers over the edge.
"I would be as confident as could be that anything, any of these populations upstream from that reservoir, would be gone," Texas Tech biologist Gene Wilde said. "It's just not a big enough piece of river."
Plans for the reservoir date back nearly 40 years, and it will take decades more to complete. Lubbock and other regional cities recently dusted off the proposal, concerned that drinking water supplies might not keep up with growth in the area.
Lubbock would impound water on the North Fork of the Brazos River, creating a lake roughly 60 percent of the size of the city's other reservoir, Lake Alan Henry. The proposed Post reservoir also figures into another major city plan - reusing wastewater heavily treated by both man and nature as a recycled source for Lubbock.
Planners believe the two lakes could almost completely supply Lubbock's current water demand, making the proposed reservoir a factor in a multimillion-dollar council decision later this year on a pipeline from Lake Alan Henry. The council could approve a larger, more expensive pipeline designed to carry water from both lakes, well before it is certain that the Post reservoir can be built, in order to avoid paying even more for the pipeline in the future.
But impounding water could wreak havoc on the shiners. The fish are used to the chaotic rhythms of the Panhandle water supply and need huge sections of open river.
Shiners seek exposed, shallow and sandy waterways. As salty or brackish water from underground springs moves into one river section, biologists believe, the fish migrate to the next.
Shiners move farther upstream to lay eggs, which slowly float down the river until young fish hatch. Too little water, and the eggs don't float, causing them to die, and if the fish aren't far enough away from a large lake, their brood feed the crappie and other fish that live in large reservoirs.
The Arkansas shiner, which achieved quick notoriety in the Panhandle two years ago after nearly complicating another major source of Lubbock drinking water, may travel more than 100 miles along the Canadian River during its normal 1.5-year life span - the equivalent of a human journeying from New York to Los Angeles, for swimmers not much longer than a finger, Wilde said.
They're no match for a massive concrete barrier across the river, and populations have already dropped off downstream, where dams have sliced the Brazos into smaller segments.
"These fish, even though they're only 2 inches long, require miles of river in order to play out their life history," Wilde said.

LE MANS, France: Spaniard Marc Marquez (pictured) became the first rider since Italian great Giacomo Agostini in 1972 to win the first five races of the season as he eased to victory in the French MotoGP at Le Mans yesterday.
The 21-year-old Honda rider -- who also emulated Australia Mick Doohan in winning the five straight races from pole -- recovered from a poor start to take control with 16 laps remaining and came home ahead of Italian great Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) while Alvaro Bautista of Spain was third on a Honda Gresini.
Victory yesterday made the reigning world champion the youngest ever rider to win five successive races in the premier class, taking the record from late Englishman Mike Hailwood who was 22 years and 160 days old when he won five successive races in the 500cc class in 1962.
Marquez moved onto a perfect 125 points from a possible 125 while his team-mate Dani Pedrosa is second on 83 and Rossi is third a further two points adrift.
Rossi's struggling, two-time world champion teammate Jorge Lorenzo, is down in fifth place on just 45 points.
"Today was a little bit harder especially the beginning," Marquez told BT Sports.
"I was a bit too calm and needed to be a bit more aggressive at the start. "Once I saw Valentino make a bit of a mistake I took my opportunity to take the lead. I am going to enjoy the moment for five wins from five is very special."
Rossi was phlegmatic about his second spot, which was his third in the five races this season.
"I am so happy about the result. It is a pity about my mistake as it was at a crucial part of the race," the 35-year-old nine-time champion told BT Sports. "It was too easy for Marc in the end but we will try in my home race in Mugello the next time to get our own back."
For Bautista it was the culmination of a great weekend as his beloved Atletico Madrid had won the Spanish football league title on Saturday for the first time in 18 years.
"Today was amazing, incredible, leading to what has been the perfect weekend for me," the 29-year-old said with a broad smile. Marquez got overwhelmed at the start of the race as Andrea Dovizioso, Stefan Bradl, Rossi and Pol Espargaro swept past him and his efforts to regain his position were thwarted as he clipped Lorenzo's back wheel and did brilliantly not to go down.
Rossi, Espargaro and Bradl passed Dovizioso with 23 laps remaining while Marquez continued his fight back by overtaking Rossi's team-mate Lorenzo with 22 laps to go to move into fifth. He was fourth a lap later and going away from the stands with 19 laps remaining, he overtook Bradl and set off after Espargaro with Rossi still leading while Dovizioso's electic start had petered out completely as he dropped like a stone to 10th.
Marquez breezed past Espargaro the following lap and with 16 laps from the finish the young Spaniard went past the Italian as Rossi went too wide on a corner and Marquez needed no second invitation to take the lead and soon built up an advantage of over a second. Behind the front two, Bautista was surging up the field and was turning the pressure on Espargaro for third place which he eventually secured while Marquez's team-mate Dani Pedrosa produced a late charge passing Lorenzo to claim fifth.

Comprehensive information regarding CalFresh Categorical Eligibility ("MCE"). Culminating several other "Cat El" changes, with the passage of SB 855 effective July 1, 2014, all households with gross income at or below 200 percent of the FPL, must be conferred MCE status if the file documents their receipt of the TANF service (PUB 275). All counties must immediately implement a 200 percent FPL gross income level for MCE for all Non-Assistance (NACF) households. Until automation is programmed, this must be done manually.
For any case pending as of July 1, 2014, if automation indicates ineligibility for a non-aged/disabled CalFresh applicant household because of the 130 percent FPL gross income limit, the county must pull the case and manually verify whether eligibility under MCE status exists because of gross income at or under 200 percent FPL. Additionally, counties must check any applications that were denied for exceeding gross income since July 1, 2014, as well as applications denied in June where the 30 day processing would have gone into July. Corrective action must be taken on any cases that would have been eligible under the MCE 200 percent FPL gross income test. [Download]

Monday, January 14, 2013
Summerville Town Council gave contingent approval to hiring a public defender for its municipal court Wednesday.
That approval hinges on the county agreeing to pay for the position, however. If the county doesnt agree, council will have to consider whether it will provide the funding. ?The 6-0 vote came after Kelly Lax spoke during the public comment period to encourage council to hire a public defender and to better train employees to be civil to the public.
Lax said her son was arrested by Summerville police Oct. 5. Despite the police officers Miranda warning that an attorney would be provided if he couldnt afford one, he couldnt get one, she said.
She and her husband intervened, but were stymied as well. Her son finally got a public defender assigned Nov. 13, she said, but as of Dec. 5 his files still hadnt been transferred.
My son may be (found) guilty, she said. But he has spent the last 70 days in a holding cell. Hes been outside twice.
She asked the town to do the right thing and ensure defendants have representation. She also asked that employees be reminded that the people trying to help their family members who have made bad decisions are not the bad guys.
Councilman Walter Bailey, chairman of the public safety committee, reiterated his point from Mondays meeting that the criminal justice system is a state and county responsibility and that the town does the county a favor by having a municipal court that takes some of the load off the magistrate court, so the county should fund a public defender.

the organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground). Figure ground: Refers to the foreground and the background. Impairment entails the inability to distinguish the two.
form constancy/form discrimination
Recognizing forms and objects as the same in various environments, positions, and sizes
position in space
assists in the determination of spatial relationships of figures and objects to ones self and other forms and objects. Allows us to make determinations of front, back, top, bottom, beside, under, over. This perceptual skill enables us to understand that a ball has rolled under a table. Also contributes to our ability to interpret a group of letters as a word, words as a sentence, as well as to dress and navigate through a crowded space. EX: does the client understand that the glass of water is behind the dinner plate? can the client follow the command to stand between two other clients?
depth perception/stereopsis
the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance. (Myers Psychology 8e p. 245)

I was a vegetarian for 15yrs but I didn't knowingly eat lentils then and would only use canned beans so they were pre-cooked.
I don't eat them at all now. Recently I ate organic houmous and it gave me terrible indigestion. Not a good idea as there's a shortage of Milk of Magnesia at the moment here !
For lentil lovers suggest Rose Elliot's book Not Just A Load Of Old Lentils.
