A century ago scientists were baffled to find more radiation on Earth than they could account for from natural radioactivity on the ground
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of cosmic rays — radiation from outer space. At the turn of the 20th century scientists were baffled when they found more radiation in the Earth's environment than they could account for from natural radioactivity on the ground. In 1912 the Austrian scientist Victor Hess made daring balloon flights in an open gondola with a crew of two at altitudes reaching up to 5.3km (3.3 miles) high. Quite how they survived the intense cold and lack of oxygen at such heights is not clear, especially as photos show the men dressed only

But it's not David Rowe's fault that Texas Southern was Rutgers' opponent. So Rowe won't make any apologies for his first career interception, which he returned 56 yards for his first college touchdown in Rutgers' 42-0 demolition of Texas Southern Saturday on Homecoming Day at Rutgers Stadium.
Instead, Rowe will focus on the fact that his play, which opened the scoring, got the Scarlet Knights off and running to the easy victory that will serve to prep them for this Friday's visit by 5-1 Pittsburgh.
"I saw the quarterback's eyes go that way, I just jumped the corner route and I looked to my left I saw a whole bunch of blockers, so I figured I could get into the zone," Rowe said. "When the defense puts the first points on the board, it's kind of like the defense set the tone."
In a game where the biggest question going in was how quarterback Tom Savage would look in his first action since suffering a concussion against Florida International Sept. 19, the Rutgers defense made a statement that it is playing a whole lot better than it did in that embarrassing season-opening loss to Cincinnati.
The RU defense held Texas Southern to 147 yards in total offense, including minus-3 yards rushing. Rutgers also piled up seven sacks — the most they have recorded in a game since they had seven against South Florida in 2007 — and forced four turnovers.
"I thought the defense played really well,'' Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "They were flying around, and when you take the ball away and score, on defense, that's good stuff. I think as you do it more and more, you get more confidence. That certainly will be put to the test — you've got a 5-1 Pittsburgh team coming in here that's very talented. But I think we are playing well on defense. (However) we've got to take it up a notch.''
For anyone looking for signs that the performance will translate against a higher-level opponent, consider the third-quarter hustle of redshirt freshman safety Khaseem Greene. He raced more than 50 yards to track down Texas Southern running back Martin Gilbert, who had gotten behind the defense and was streaking up the right sideline. Gilbert looked certain to score an 87-yard touchdown, but Greene caught him from behind and tackled him at the Rutgers 16-yard line.
"I just wanted to stop him from scoring,'' Greene said when asked why he ran so hard to prevent a touchdown in a game the Scarlet Knights were leading, 35-0. "Anything I can do to stop the opposing team from getting in the end zone, I'm going to try to do.''
As it turned out, a Texas Southern penalty on the play would bring the ball back, but Greene didn't know about the penalty at the time. And he wasn't trying to protect the shutout, as much as he just didn't want to give up a touchdown if he had a say in the matter.
"When I saw him come out, I was pressing towards him to tackle him, but ... I thought he was wrapped up," Greene said of Gilbert. "When I saw him come out, I was like ... yeah, it's time for me to throw on the burners now."

Traffic near Highway 12 in Suisun City is slowed after a car crashed into a ditch and caught fire on the side of the highway.
No injuries were reported, according to the Solano County Sheriff's Department.
Images from Live Copter 3 showed plumes of smoke lifting from the area in the fire that scorched about an eighth of an acre of vegetation.
The car was fully engulfed in flames before it spread to the nearby brush. No structures were threatened.
The car is facing the eastbound direction on Walters Road outside of Fairfield. Eastbound lanes were briefly shutdown.

Unless your hardware is EXTREMELY unusual, your multimeter will never "see"
a chip select change state because chip selects typically go low for far
too little time. You'll need at least an oscilloscope and, even then, you
may need to resort to tricks such as single sweep if the chip select is not
toggled on a regular basis.

I don't know whether dereferencing a pointer variable (the method you
describe above) works in the shell, but I am certain that using the memory
display command ('d') does. For example, this command reads and displays
the value of one 32-bit location beginning at address 0xd0000000.
> d 0xd0000000,1,4

Ask any NFL coach, and he would tell you that rookie camps and organized team activities (OTAs) are valuable and necessary. Offenses and defenses, he would tell you, are complex and need to be installed and drilled over the course of weeks.
Most players, on the other hand, would quibble with that notion. Offenses and defenses aren't really as complex as coaches make them out to be, and either way, that's what training camp is for. That's why offseason workout times were cut in the most recent collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
Really, the only people who suffer are those at the very end of the roster, and even that might be questionable. After all, the coaches might not really need every single workout to make roster-cutting decisions.
So, what fans are left with is a period of time where any football activity is dissected and overanalyzed by the media because it's the only show in town. Snaps are counted, though they mean nothing in June, and play is broken down by the same people who spend their entire time complaining about "shirts-and-shorts workouts" before the draft.
In many ways, it is one of the more nonsensical times of the NFL season.
Still, the summer months are not devoid of any news. It just takes a discerning eye and a healthy dose of skepticism to weed out the useless optimistic fodder. Thankfully for you, dear reader, I have both.

Last week was all about the trade-in.
Honda Accords for Bentleys. Tents for towering domiciles. Broken hearts for fresh-faced boys. Re-introducing the new Dez, America… welcome her warmly to the 1%.
Yes, we saw men in various states of cringeworthiness. Suits of armor, suits of bathing and, most regrettably, suits of law, at least I assume the latter if Jonathan was released back into society.
But the wings of love take a couple flaps to get airborne. And now that we know what we're working with, it's time to get serious. So if you didn't care for week 1, fret not. Dez has trimmed the fat, stocked the bar and is ready to have relations… just not on the first night, as we found out the hard way.
Let's date…
7:09 – Hmm. Wedding dress fitting? First date? Props to Brooks for going with the Colonel Sanders tux.
7:13 – You're ready to get married, Dez? Is that a fact. I appreciate you verbalizing it, but I think the fact that you're in a WEDDING DRESS put that vibe out there already. Could be wrong, though.
7:26 – Andy Grammer. On a bridge. This is like a high-stakes game of Double Dare. Hopefully that span has some safety netting.
7:31 – Soulja Boy is now on the Bachelorette. Looks like Frank Ocean didn't crack the door, he opened the flood gates.
7:38 – Welp. Go ahead and stem the rest of the kale, grab your Lands End catalog and throw it in the trash, because we now have the whitest thing ever.
7:39 – "Love is like a butterfly…" we already have the NEW whitest thing ever.
7:51 – Ben, who uses his son's memory to initiate a make-out session, reminds me that I was remiss in forgetting the 1 year anniversary of one of the worst make-outs in the history of TV. Enjoy: LINK HERE (Side: was the audio way up on that kiss?)
8:00 – Brandon… Pump. The. Brakes.
8:11 – Props to ABC for still using the Flip Cams. RIP, Flip. I too loved hidden pop out USBs.

|Measles Picture
|Pediatric Health Pictures
Picture of a child with measles (rubeola):
According to the CDC, 'Measles is an acute, highly communicable viral disease with prodromal fever, conjunctivitis, coryza, cough, and Koplik spots on the buccal mucosa. A characteristic red blotchy rash appears around the third day of illness, beginning on the face and becoming generalized. Measles is frequently complicated by middle ear infection or diarrhea. The disease can be severe, with bronchopneumonia or brain inflammation leading to death in approximately 2 of every 1,000 cases.'
Fortunately, measles can be prevented by the MMR (Measles | Mumps | Rubella) vaccine. Keep in mind that 'measles remains a common disease in many countries of the world, including some developed countries in Europe and Asia.'

The US Lacrosse U-15 National Championship is set to begin July 6, 2009. It will be held in Bel Air, Md. at Cedar Lane Sports Park. The tournament will have boys and girls youth programs from across the nation, competing and representing their respective teams and regions. The girls will kick-off the event July 6, crowing their champion July 8, while the boys start July 8, finishing their National Championship July 10. This 5-day event is special for several reasons. It's never been done before. And with the more recent trend in recruiting with college coaches striving to commit players at a younger age, it's refreshing that this tournament has nothing to do with recruiting and everything to do with having fun, building strong competition, and honoring the game. US Lacrosse's public relations manager Colleen Sperry Aungst explained the origins of the event to me, "Based on the success and positive participant and spectator experience of the US Lacrosse National Youth Festivals since 1998, there was a big desire to roll out a national championship event like this for the lacrosse community. It is our responsibility to take a leadership role in launching the inaugural event to establish a benchmark standard of quality and experience for everyone involved – players, coaches, parents and spectators. "
In order for a team to register for the tournament they must be a member of US Lacrosse, which means that some states will have an advantage when representing their regions, like Maryland, New York, and New Jersey, simply due to the fact that they have more US Lacrosse members in those regions. The list of teams competing can be found on the US lacrosse site (http://www.uslacrosse.org/news/2009/u15ncteams.phtml).
The West coast amongst other areas has been developing strong youth programs within the past few years, but can they compete with the East coast? Former Johns Hopkins standout goalie Rob Scherr definitely believes so, "I know all those teams will do well. If you're a great athlete it doesn't matter where you're from." Colleen agreed, "The breadth and scope of lacrosse talent is far reaching these days. There are incredibly competitive teams coming to the National Championship from all over the country."
Perhaps some new rivalries as intense as the ones Maryland and New York natives are used to will begin at this tournament. One thing is for sure. Come July there will be two new U-15 lacrosse champions, but where will they be from? Tune in to E-Lacrosse to find out.

An emotional ceremony dedicated a Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Albuquerque that has pictures of nearly all the men and women from the Land of Enchantment who made the ultimate sacrifice in Southeast Asia.
For the first time, we see the faces of New Mexicans who died during the Vietnam War.
The project began in 2009 when three Vietnam veterans started to collect pictures from surviving families. The memorial features 398 stories from New Mexico of heroism, bravery and sacrifice.
The memorial is part of a nationwide project to collect all 58,282 photographs of Vietnam veterans who died during the war.

Stuart. Access: Interstate 90 > Highway 970 > Teanaway Road/North Fork Teanaway Road Trails: Longs Pass > Off-trail ridge run (boot path visible in places) > Ingalls Way Trail Mileage: ~8 total Elevation Gain: ~3,000 with the ups and downs. Summits: Not Hinkhouse Peak (6,878') Trip Details: My original weekend plans of camping in the upper Enchantments got scuttled due to the folks at the National Weather Service and their thunderstorm prediction. Since Jasper was safely at the cabin with Dani, I still wanted to take advantage of the situation and go on a hike where the 4-leggers aren't allowed. Sitting at Longs Pass last year after climbing Mt. Stuart, I noticed a high bump along the ridge to the northwest towards Ingalls Pass. Intrigued, I discovered that it was unofficially called Not Hinkhouse Peak (not to be confused with the actual Hinkhouse Peak). I suppose every peak but the actual Hinkhouse Peak could be called Not Hinkhouse Peak, but that would be silly. After a vigorous exchange of emails Thursday and Friday with a few people who don't mind hiking with me, no consensus was reached. Some wanted to go here, some there, some not at all. Soapy and I decided to head to Not Hinkhouse Peak by ourselves. With my driving skills and his routefinding expertise, what could go wrong? My friend Scott called late Friday night and invited himself along. At worst he would provide beer and better conversation than Soapy. After some vehicle troubles (Scott's, not mine) we arrived at the trailhead around 10:00 am to mostly sunny skies and a few other vehicles. We started up the Esmerelda Basin Trail, then quickly turned right on the Ingalls Way Trail. The clouds increased, and soon some raindrops began to fall. After a few minutes I decided to put my rain cover on the pack. As soon as the rain cover was on and the pack returned to my back, the rain stopped. I decided to keep the cover on for now. Snags and Fortune Peak Near the junction with the Longs Pass Trail there was a little snow cover. I turned uphill a little too soon, but shortly we were back on the trail (well, actually I found the old roadbed first, then the trail). We arrived at Longs Pass to mostly cloudy skies, but a full frontal view of Mt. Stuart. I was hungry so I decided to eat a little. Mt. Stuart from Longs PassEnchantment area peaks Follow the ridgeRidge to Not Hinkhouse Fortified by our snacks we continued along the ridge towards our objective. The route was easy to follow, and in places a definite bootpath was evident. We got to what I had thought was ther highpoint, only to see another slightly higher one maybe 50 feet away. Undaunted, we continued to the highest point and stopped for a leisurely lunch break and a glimpse of Fortune, South Ingalls and Ingalls Peaks. We could also get a little glimpse of a still snow covered Ingalls Lake. Mt. Stuart and Sherpa PeakScott looks at Stuart Final slopesPointing snags Not Hinkhouse summitFortune, South Ingalls and Ingalls Peaks Glacier Peak in the distanceSoapy and his prize from last year, Mt. StuartFist bump After eating and resting for entirely too long on Not Hinkhouse Peak, we followed the ridge towards Ingalls Pass. Travel was easier along the southern side of the ridge (left as we headed towards Ingalls Pass), so we took the easier route. Shortly we were at Ingalls Pass and saw a group of 6 practicing ice axe arrest on the snow. Originally we had thought about continuing to Ingalls Lake as neither one of us had been there before, but a general malaise took over and we ended up lounging on some bare rock and admiring Mt. Stuart while keeping an eye to the darkening skies to the southwest.

We also saw occasional flashes of lightning, but no rain was falling on us at this point. We arrived back at the trailhead to find my truck intact, but unlocked.

The British Orthodox Press has just published "The Offering of The Morning and Evening Incense" 126 pp.
The Coptic services for the Raising of Morning and Evening Incense are not simply viewed as forms of worship at which incense is used but the incense itself is considered an 'offering'. This translation into traditional liturgical English uniquely offers detailed ceremonial instructions with a scholarly introductory essay by Father Gregory Tillett. This examines the historical origins of the service as well as the development of the rubrics and of the English text.

BOC Publications - John Charmley - 28-01-2007
Thank you for alerting us to this.
It has prompted me to pose a question I have had for some time, which is whether it would be possible to have something of the same sort on the Liturgy of St. James?
I have enjoyed, and profited from, Abba Seraphim's articles in the Glastonbury Review, and from the work of Fr. John Ross, but have sense that previous issues of the Review may also have excellent material; if so, might it perhaps be possible to bring them together as a booklet?
I suspect that there might be others, also new to the BOC, who would like to know more about its ancient and historic liturgy, and such a booklet might be very useful for those coming to our services for the first time.
Of course, some of our enquirers are very knowledgeable on matters liturgical, but for some of us who are not, information about it would be a blessing. I had a copy of an old Alcuin Society pamphlet, but nothing could have prepared me properly for its beauty, and I immediately wanted to know everything I could about it.
Would others concur, or is it just me?
In Christ,
- Edward - 16-01-2008
An official BOC text of the Liturgy of St James would be very helpful (especially with some notes!). Does the BOC currently use a particular edition / version / translation?

USA Hockey released a public service announcement yesterday aimed at curbing inappropriate conduct by coaches, parents and fans at youth games.
The 30-second TV spot originally was part of a campaign called, "Relax, it's just a game," which was launched by the Canadian Hockey Association in November.
USA Hockey executive director Doug Palazzari said it is "imperative to curb the increased pressure that some parents and coaches - albeit the minority - place on children who participate in youth sports."

The premise of the article - that the proportion of hours where hot water is needed is the same as the proportion of energy that is actually required - is false. Unless you have a terrible insulating system, a huge amount of energy isn't required to keep water hot. Most of your energy use should be in heating up cold water which is taken in to replace hot water used. You will not see a 66% reduction in energy costs; how much you will see depends on how good or bad your hot water insulation is, and the temperature differential between the hot water and the ambient temperature in its surroundings. Whatever that saving is, it needs to be compared with the opportunity costs of not having hot water whenever you want it, but rather having to stick to a schedule.
That's not to take away from the cool DIY scheduled servo job, which looks neat.

EC Proposes Draft Regulation on Biopiracy and Research
4 October 2012: The European Commission (EC) has introduced a draft Regulation to implement the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ABS), aimed at protecting the rights of those possessing genetic resources and traditional knowledge, while providing researchers in the EU with reliable, more legally certain access to samples of these resources at low cost.
The draft Regulation, which will be considered by the European Parliament and the Council, would benefit researchers and companies in the EU, particularly small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) and public-funded, non-commercial research.
It is designed to clarify the rules over the use of genetic resource for research in areas including plant and animal breeding, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The intent is to protect the holders of genetic resources and traditional knowledge from the loss of benefits associated with these resources, a concern known as "biopiracy," while encouraging research and development.
The actions associated with this draft Regulation include plans for an EU-register of trusted seed banks, botanical gardens and other collections committed to supplying only genetic resource samples that have been fully documented.
The EC also released a summary of the definition of and provisions included under the term "access and benefit sharing." According to the EC, ABS is a basic principle of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which recognizes that States have sovereign rights over the genetic resources found within their jurisdiction, and that they can set conditions for access to such resources. It requires that any benefits that arise from the commercial use of the resources are shared fairly and equitably with the country providing the resources. The summary also addresses: why ABS has been problematic in the past; how the Nagoya Protocol will help achieve conservation goals; what happens in cases of non-compliance; whether countries with genetic resources must adopt access rules; and how the Protocol addresses the needs of indigenous communities; and questions on the draft regulation, including potential costs and benefits for users in the EU.

5 Types of People or Companies That May Typically Look at Your Credit Report
There are a variety of companies or persons who may request a copy of a credit report. When it comes to your report, you should know who is making such requests, advises Victory State Bank, Staten Island's only community-based business bank.
A credit report is a record of your credit history that includes information about your identity; your existing credit; your public financial record, and inquiries about you. Credit reports includes a list of companies or persons who recently requested a copy of your report.
Your credit report is important because lenders, insurers, employers, and others may obtain it from credit bureaus to assess how you manage financial responsibilities.
The following five types of people or companies, for example, may typically view your report:
1) Lenders may use your credit report information to decide whether you can get a loan and the terms you get for a loan (for example, the interest rate they will charge you).
2) Insurance companies may use the information to decide whether you can get insurance and to set the rates you will pay.
3) Employers may use your credit report, if you give them permission to do so, to decide whether to hire you.
4) Telephone and utility companies may use information in your credit report to decide whether to provide services to you.
5) Landlords may use the information to determine whether to rent an apartment to you.
You can get one free credit report every twelve months from each of the nationwide credit bureaus--Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com or calling (877) 322-8228. You will need to provide certain information to access your report, such as your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth.
Find out more online by visiting the website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

FDA for Pricks. Want to troll a Phml? Tell him a map is impossible. Gets the sucker everytime. Doesn't complete, but looks possible to me.
I went with complevel 9 because I had a feeling this might not be a "true" limit-removing map, and with the amount of texture errors, HOMs and missing flats I suspect it was either tested in ZDoom or not at all. Best to play in a port with the blockmap fix enabled, probably. Gameplay isn't THAT bad, but hits the "just not enough ammo, just not enough health" mark enough times to make you think it was designed with this fix (and possibly mouselook) in mind.

There are endless ways to reinvent your go-to brew, and each of these cocktails is simple to stir together and guaranteed to please even the thirstiest bunch of football fans.

DUI Survivor Sheds Light On Multiple DUI Case
MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. - A young man has only been of legal age to drink for two years. Yet 23-year-old Esteban Sanchez of San Jose is being charged with his fifth DUI. In the latest case, he's accused of injuring a pregnant woman during a hit-and-run crash in Morgan Hill, on New Year's Day.
Sanchez is then accused of losing control of his car, crashing into a fire hydrant and leading officers on a chase, until he was caught. This sounds like an extreme case, but it's not the first or the last time something like this will happen because of drinking and driving.
This case hits close to home for a victim and survivor of a drunk driving accident. We spoke with Chelsie Hill, a young woman from Seaside, who is paralyzed from the waist down after her friend crashed into a tree while driving drunk almost four years ago. Chelsie helped her friend get out of prison early and he's on probation now. She hopes he gets the chance to share their story with others to help people, like Sanchez, from re-offending.
"You know he can't make me just get up and walk again. But I do really wish him the best and I don't think he can really learn from this in prison. I feel like he needs to be out speaking and you know showing kids like what his actions caused," said Chelsie Hill.
Hill said her friend Aaron Corn was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for the crash that put her in a wheelchair. But she thinks there's not enough being done to teach young people the impact of driving drunk. Hill said anyone who's had a DUI before should be required to blow before hitting the gas pedal.
"I'd much rather blow in a breathalyzer than have to bring my wheelchair," Chelsie said.
That's something Senator Jerry Hill of San Mateo said he's pushing at the state level. Right now the state is running a pilot program in Alameda, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Tulare counties, requiring an ignition interlock device for anyone with one or multiple DUIs. But Hill said what's most alarming, is after 10 years, a DUI is wiped clean.
"Because to me a judge should look at your entire record when they try to determine what your punishment should be one, and number two, what treatment you may need," said Senator Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo.
Getting multiple DUI's could suspend your license for 3 to 4 years, and in some cases a judge can take it away for up to 10 years. The good news, most drivers don't re-offend.
"Generally in most cases, when a person gets a DUI, they learn their lesson and they stop driving drunk and kind of walk away from it," Senator Hill said.
For Chelsie, she's hoping that trend will continue.
"You know a lot of people just don't get it and a lot of people think you know, nothings going to happen to them," Chelsie said.
Senator Hill tells us the study will continue through the end of this year. Then he said the plan is to use that information to determine if requiring a breathalyzer to start a car will help save more lives.

follow me on Twitter at KBrodieLFC
I understand, after hearing from ESPN, that this is my last blog. Sorry to tell you that I did not get sacked as I know many of you were hoping for that...first of all I can't get sacked for something I was not paid for! second of all, espn is moving away from these types of correspondent pages so it wasn't about me (at least that is what I'm telling myself).
Great to see the lads back on the pitch. It was fantastic to see the travelling kop (and some loud Roma fans) as well decorate a famous baseball stadium. The pitch looked pretty decent considering it's a baseball field, although it did look small on the TV. The Green Monster was a great backdrop for the game. I would have loved to have gone but it was just bad timing and a bit expensive and I would rather only go see games that actually matter.
Brendan Rodgers will be announced as the new Liverpool manager on Friday. I have to say I had barely heard of him until this season. I didn't even know he was with Chelsea under the self-proclaimed Special One until reading up about him.
I can't sit and here and tell you I thought he was our top target all along, how I was desperate for LFC to get his signature, how I know he will turn things around for us, because that would all be rubbish.
Whether you agree with the decision to part company with Kenny Dalglish or not, I'm pleased with how Liverpool owners FSG are going about the business of finding a replacement manager and new director of football.
Ayre did the required (some not required) interviews after the decision was made and said that big managers still fancy us, which I believe to be true. After that it has gone all quiet from FSG, which is the way Liverpool should go about doing this.
Ayre said "It's absolutely critical that we get it right and we move forward" before going all quiet.
When Kenny Dalglish got the call from FSG on his holiday he knew he was the only man who could save Liverpool. Of course, Kenny being Kenny he dropped whatever he was doing and jumped at the chance to manage the club that as meant everything to him since 1977. Liverpool's favorite adopted son walked out at Old Trafford a day later knowing that he had to galvanize a squad that had completely lost their way.
Thank god that is over. That was the worst league campaign in my lifetime (I'm 43) in terms of goals scored and our performance at home. All those supporters who wanted Rafa out, after one year of not making the champions league, should be ashamed of themselves. We were spoiled back then and didn't realize how good we had it. Well now that we have had an additional two years of inept performances we have our previous ownership, Christian Purlsow, the supporters and media who drove Rafa out to blame.
Liverpool failed to turn up at for the first hour at Wembley on Saturday and as Kenny said after the match you can't give a team like Chelsea a two goal lead until you start to play. Credit to the lads for fighting back and if you look at it on the balance of clear cut chances no one would have said that 2-2 would have been unfair on us. Liverpool's line-up was a bit of surprise to me but then again probably any starting 11 would have been a surprise. I was shocked that Carroll didn't get on from the start and I just couldn't fathom what Stewart Downing had done to deserve a place on the field but I'm not the manager so I was ready to support the boys from my couch some 6,000 miles away.
Well they used to say that the only thing certain in life is Death and Taxes but I think they can add a third pillar, Liverpool beat Everton at Wembly.
Today my post does not focus on football, but rather please take a moment to remember that in 1989 96 supporters of Liverpool Football Club went to watch a match and never came home. My heart goes out to their families. YNWA
Sacking's, 3 points and oh yeh, A semi final with the blues
Blacburn vs Liverpool wasone of the weirdest football games I have a seen in a good long. The game was not really coming to life over the first 15 minutes with both sets of players feeling the game out. Liverpool had provided the game with much live besides for some clever passes by Shelvey and lots of good running by Bellamy. Other then that this had all the makings of a tight 0-0 affair.

An illustrated scholarly catalogue and website (www.writingonhands.org) accompany the exhibition; the website will be open on Septemper 8th.
"...the soul is like the hand; for the hand is an instrument of
instruments, and in the same way the mind is the form of forms."
Aristotle, De Anima, 3.8
From the earliest surviving figurative imagery to the present day,depictions of the hand symbolize human or divine action, power,
creativity, intelligence, and manual skill. An original exhibition,
WRITING ON HANDS: Memory and Knowledge in Early Modern Europe, explores
the use and importance of these images in codifying and extending
knowledge-from the mathematical and musical to the astrological and
spiritual realms-in 15th- through 17th- century Europe. WRITING ON HANDS examines representations of the hand independent of the body, as figures of both generic and individual human identity.
The Trout Gallery of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania is
sponsoring WRITING ON HANDS which opens there on September 8, 2000 and
runs through November 25, 2000; it will then travel to The Folger
Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, opening on December 13, 2000, and
closing on March 4, 2001. The curator of the exhibition is Dr. Claire
Richter Sherman, author of Imaging Aristotle: Verbal and Visual
Representation in Fourteenth-Century France. Dr. Sherman is Project Head Emerita of Sponsored Research in the History of Art, published by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art. She has published widely on medieval art and art historiography and
lectures throughout the United States and Europe.
Dr. Sherman has assembled prints, manuscripts, and printed books from the 11th through the 17th centuries to examine woodcuts, engravings and
drawings featuring representations of the hand inscribed with, or
surrounded by, lines, letters, words, symbols and numbers to support the
thesis that visual representation plays a vital role in cognitive
processes. Organized according to theme, more than eighty works in the
exhibition embrace such fields as anatomy, religion, philosophy,
psychology, music theory, mathematics, literature, emblematics, and the
occult. While referring to relevant medieval traditions, the time frame
of the exhibition-1466 to 1700-shows how, in conjunction with developing print technology, major currents of thought, such as humanism, the
Reformation, and the scientific revolution, affected representations of
the inscribed hand. The very earliest works of authors, like the Venerable Bede, Peter of Rosenheim and Hugo Spechtshart, though known originally in manuscript form, achieved wider influence in printed formats. The illustrated book served to disseminate widely all types of established knowledge, old and new, rational and irrational. The subsequent development of accompanying visual imagery underscores the lasting importance of pictorial representation in cognitive processes.
Dr. Peter M. Lukehart, Director of The Trout Gallery, says he is "proud to host such a distinguished collection of early modern prints, books, and manuscripts for this ambitious exhibition." Included in the exhibition are woodcuts from Albrecht Drer, etchings by Rembrandt, engravings after Gerard de Lairesse and Hendrik Goltzius, and books by Robert Fludd, Johann Hartlieb, Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey. The objects are drawn from the collections of the The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, The Folger Shakespeare Library, Library of Congress, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, National Library of Medicine, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Pierpont Morgan Library and The Walters Art Gallery.
Claire Sherman suggests that the underlying function of the images
collected for this exhibit are to understand, order, and recall abstract
concepts related to universal human experience and culture. These images of the hand serve as iconic metaphors, bodily mnemonics and cognitive maps encompassing processes of association, memory and recollection. The exhibition themes are:
Reading the Writing on Hands, the first part of the exhibition,introduces the topic's universal associations. Mentor, Map, and Metaphor explores the hand as a distinctively generic and individual human trait. Identity, Creativity, and Intelligence shows the hand's identification with notions of creativity, intelligence, skill, agency and power.
Medical imagery then explores the material qualities of
the hand. The Handiwork of the Creator considers anatomical prints and
book illustrations of the body as evidence of design by a supreme divine
or natural authority (The Noblest Creation) and the hand as specific
evidence of such intent in The Instrument of Instruments.
Messengers of the World examines the connections between
the hand, brain, senses, and memory. Of particular importance are prints and book illustrations that demonstrate the various interpretations of The Sense of Touch. Arranged in an ordered sequence as different ways of Inscribing Memory, a series of images reveal their essential role in cognitive processes.
Knowledge on Hand discusses the hand as a teaching and
learning device. Manipulating Time demonstrates how the revival of an
ancient system of coded finger gestures that enables counting to a million became associated with reckoning of secular and sacred operations, including computing the liturgical calendar. Related to the calculating hand, Steps to Singing surveys the so-called Guidonian hand as a popular method to learn and teach basic principles of solmization and music theory. Companion of Eloquence investigates the appearance in the 17th century of visual representations of coded gestures designed for rhetorical and dramatic expression, as well as systems of fingerspelling for teaching the deaf.
The Whole World in the Hand first introduces the powerful
concept and imagery of man as an ordered and harmonious microcosm of the
universe. One example, the depiction of zodiacal man, employs astrological and medical analogies in The Body as Microcosm. Next, Signs upon the Hand reveals how the hand represents both the corporeal and spiritual relations of the body to the macrocosm. From its introduction in the 12th century, chiromancy, later known as palmistry, used the natural marks of the hand to divine the character and fate of individuals.
The Hand of the Philosopher explores alchemy, a pervasive human quest to achieve material and spiritual purification of base natural materials. Images reveal the complex search for knowledge that combines premodern chemical methods to achieve medical benefits and wealth with Christian and other mystical beliefs.
In the exhibition's final section, imagery of Guiding
Hands from the early 16th through the 17th century functions as a site of meditation and reflection. Hands provide the mnemonic scaffolding for spiritual exercises as Defenders of Faith, or as agents or performers of religious acts. Hands in secular emblem books behave as Guardians of Morals, uniting visual and verbal meaning to emphasize a series of ethical and political maxims.
A fully illustrated, scholarly catalogue written by Dr. Sherman and edited by her and Dr. Peter M. Lukehart will accompany the exhibit. Essays were contributed by internationally known scholars Brian Copenhaver, University of California, Martin Kemp, University of Oxford, Sachiko Kusukawa, Trinity College, Cambridge University and Susan Forscher Weiss, Peabody Conservatory, The Johns Hopkins University. The catalogue will be available at the exhibition; for information on obtaining the catalogue ($35.00 plus p+h) please contact Stephanie Keifer at email@example.com
or (717) 245-1344.
This exhibition is funded, in part, by the National Endowment for the
Arts. Additional support is provided by the generosity of the Ruth Trout Exhibition Fund, Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the participation of the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC.

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH — A swirl of color mimicking the curve of a teacup handle takes only seconds to apply with a stroke of the brush.
For John Mishler, the seconds can turn to hours as he covers the same area, dot by meticulous dot, using a toothpick dipped in ink.
In his variation of the pointillism brush technique developed by French artist Georges Seurat, Mishler favors a toothpick to create the optical blending of colors.

Chris Johnson
2010 statistics: 316 attempts, 1,364 yards, 11 touchdowns; 44 receptions, 245 yards, 1 touchdowns
He's the quickest running back in the NFL and just got an upgrade at quarterback in Matt Hasselbeck.
Even with Hasselbeck coming in, they still haven't played a single snap together. However, Johnson probably won't be as controlled by defenses as he was last season due to more of the respect opposing defenses will have to give the passing game.
Johnson has the advantage on McCoy in the running game, getting 109 more carries, 284 more yards and four more touchdowns than the Eagles back. That is, however, only 4.3 yards per carry to McCoy's average of 5.2 yards. This is a testament to how relatively bottled up Johnson was over the course of last season.
It's up to Hasselbeck, receiver Kenny Britt and tight end Jared Cook to take the pressure off CJ2K in 2011. If they are able to do that, Johnson's numbers can return close to 2009 form.
LeSean McCoy
2010 Statistics: 207 attempts, 1,080 yards, 7 touchdowns; 78 receptions, 592 yards, 2 touchdowns
Vick gives McCoy a lot more room to maneuver in the ground game as well, as was proven by McCoy's aforementioned 5.2 yards per carry last season. Granted, owners would like to see more than 207 attempts on the ground from McCoy, but he more than makes up for it in the passing game. McCoy led all running backs in targets in 2010 with 90. His 78 receptions also led the league.
Verdict: McCoy
He just has too much of an advantage in the passing game with Vick at the helm. If it was a standard scoring format, I would take Johnson. Additionally, McCoy has more talent surrounding him and more experience with his quarterback.
Who do you prefer in a PPR league?

Doughnut sales are on the decline, while category share has increased just recently in the past year. Sales seemed to have rebounded after the low-carb craze, and the category grew until 2006. Last year, though, sales decreased by 2.5% over 2006, according to Jonna Parker, senior account manager at Perishables Group. "However," she noted, "doughnuts were still the largest category in breakfast bakery, with more than a third of sales. "All other breakfast bakery categories increased sales ...

Ah, Mother's Day. Clearly one of the finest and most important days of the year, right ladies?
And, while I certainly don't consider myself an authority on too terribly much, I do have a little insight on the job I've known and loved for the past 11 years, five months and two days.
Nothing matters to me more than being a good mother to my son Kyle - and a good wife to his Dad, Kerry, natch.
You know, I have this sweet little friend named Danielle Hopkinson. She's a Sandusky native who relocated to the Mahoning Valley to be with her wonderful hubby, Kevin, a Trumbull County boy. In fact, the happy couple will soon enjoy a baby shower in Warren in anticipation of their upcoming bundle of joy.
As part of my gift to Danielle, I thought I'd share a few maternal nuggets with her that I think might be useful for a new Mom.
First of all, there's the whole labor experience. My recommendation on that is this: don't sweat it. Sure, it's going to be like pulling your cheeks up over your forehead and somehow squishing them out of your ears while you stand on your head, but it will be fine.
For some reason, women love to tell other women who have yet to have babies how incredibly painful and difficult it is to -you know - have babies, just as they're about to actually, um, embark on the process of having a baby.
The truth about labor? It's intense and scary and kind of a little icky at certain points, but guess what? It's nothing you can't handle. Women have been having babies for millions of years and after it's all over? You get the greatest gift you've ever imagined - and it's more incredible than you ever thought it could be.
And here's something else I will advise you on, Danielle, don't take my advice - or anyone else's- except that of your OB /GYN, your pediatrician, and of course, the ladies who know more than anyone else, your Mom and Mother-in-Law.
Trust your own instincts; this wee one is yours and you know what's best for him or her. OK, OK, you can listen to Kevin once in a while, too.
Oh, and don't buy into the whole "avoid spoiling your infant" nonsense. People will tell you not to hold him or her too often. Poppycock. Infants were meant to be cuddled and coddled and treated with complete and utter adoration. And, by the way, they're only that small for a very short, precious time. Go for it; spoil at will.
I will kindly suggest that you refrain from making your house completely silent at your baby's nap and bed time, though. This tends to train little people to arise at even the slightest noises such as feathers landing on pillows or mimes performing their acts. Kind of makes for a lifetime light sleeper, I'm just sayin.'
Most of all, enjoy every second of babyhood, Danielle. It's a most magical, wonderful time and even though you're likely to have a day or two on which you think the crying, fussy infant period will last longer than the Hundred Years War (which actually ran for 116 years, FYI), rest assured that it will pass by in a blink.
And you will miss it. Terribly.
Check back with me from time to time, if you dare, for more Pattyisms that could potentially ruin your entire career as a Mom.
But do remember to savor this particular holiday. It's the most happy, extraordinary thing in the world to hear the little person you brought into the world wishing you a Happy Mother's Day.
Thank you so much to my own Mom, who was, is and always will be, the most perfect example of selfless, loyal, unconditional maternal love. If I do half the job with Kyle you did with Gina, Dan and I, I'll be batting 1,000.
I love you, Mom! And God bless, Danielle!
Happy Mother's Day to all.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Congratulations to all the runners in Sunday's Empire Marathon. You had near perfect weather, which will get even better today. Enjoy it. There will be snow.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in New York City today.
A new Siena College poll shows the ballot language explaining a proposal to expand casino gaming continues to convince more voters to support the plan. Cuomo's job performance numbers ticked up slightly. And although many people don't know exactly what the Moreland Commission is up to, they want the investigatory panel to do something about political corruption, especially among state lawmakers. (We'll have more reports for you later this morning about the poll.)
One thing the Moreland Commission has its eye on is housekeeping accounts money pots meant to pay for political party events and staff. But donations and spending through housekeeping accounts are unlimited and some are suspicious about where the money actually goes.
Another thing is law firms, some of which have lawmakers as partners and make steady contributions to politicians across the state — including members of the Moreland Commission, as the Albany Times Union points out.
Want to know U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei's thoughts on the recent government shutdown (as well as his siding with Republicans at one point during the debate)? Well, it'll cost you -- $25 to be exact. The Town of Manlius Democrats wouldn't let a reporter into the event on Sunday unless she donated to the cause.
And you thought New York's campaign money system needed work. Take a look at Congress, where lawmakers loan their campaigns money and earn generous interest rates and use campaign donations to pay family members — and it's all legal. 60 Minutes has the story:
John King, the state's education commissioner, has relaunched his Common Core tour of New York. In recent days, he canceled a series of town hall meetings to talk about the state's new testing system after one meeting in Poughkeepsie got out of control. Now, 12 new meetings are scheduled during the next few weeks, including one in Syracuse. The first is in Albany on Thursday.
Cuomo skipped the New York City Wine and Food festival on Saturday, leaving a crowd of anti-fracking protesters frustrated.
Gay couples in New Jersey exchange vows a minute after midnight, the first time possible under the state's new rules.
Wondering how New York is going to pay for the I-81 project? Well, it seems we haven't figured out yet how to pay for the Tappen Zee Bridge, the state's largest transportation construction project that's already underway.
Something big is happening in Marcy with tiny, tiny things that add up to a multi-billion-dollar industry.
It's the Year of the Upstate Woman.
Dog bites man. Cuomo endorses state's Democratic candidates.
Hunting season is well underway, with more than 800,000 hunters and trappers spread out across the state.
And here's another one from Washington: there's a law on the books that almost none of us follow. In 2008, Congress passed legislation requiring rear-view cameras on vehicles. The bill was signed into law. Then nothing happened. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer is getting antsy about it all.
Tweet of the Day
Oh so snow this week? Sweet.— Lindsey Verrill (@lverrill12) October 21, 2013

New start - Recreating the revolog style yourself1 2
I've always wanted to start blogging my lomo adventures and thought new year, new start there's no time like the present! Experimenting is obviously a huge part of Lomography and its something I've been a lot of it in the last year so this is where you can find all my thoughts, feelings, ideas, success and failures! I'm only a year and a half into the world of Lomography so I still have a lot to cover! Hopefully a few of you might share ideas or gain something from me as I go!
These are two of the pics that inspired me!
Ok, first up for me to cover is the revolog films. Still being a bit of a newbie I only came across these in December when someone uploaded their results. I was so interested I Googled it and came up with the revolog website. I spent ages looking through all the effects and researching peoples opinions on here…. I almost asked for a set for Christmas but then decided to have a go at doing this myself.
After a bit of research I picked a few of the effects to try and recreate. First up, Tesla I as revolog call it. I'm lucky enough at school to have access to a projector, so I used power point to create a few different colour lightening streaks onto black background. I shot it in the dark and doubled the I so of the film, which happened to be 100 x pro.
I shot the film in a few different situations and developed it last night. Scanning the results now and I will add them soon. Looking promising so far!
Ok so here are the results. Drop my my lomohome for the full album! If anyone fancies a go Im happy to shoot a roll and send it out in exchange for another roll :)

I've been a fan of anime/manga since sometime in 2000 I would say, though I've been a fan of Japan in general for much longer.
A lot of the anime I've seen in the past has been through cartoon network, I'll admit it. Most of them, the reason I "dropped" them is because they were taken off the air, not because I chose to. Also, most are only guesses at how many episodes I've seen, as I never kept track.
Similar to the anime, a lot of the manga I've read has been through Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat and Animerica Extra, and the reason they are "dropped" is because the magazine stopped running them, or stopped publication altogether. I also couldn't possibly keep track of chapter numbers for everything, so I guessed.
Other than that, there's a fairly wide range of stuff I like, it's far from being one genre.

NEWTON HAMILTON - Local townships and municipalities gathered Wednesday night during the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors banquet.
The first to speak was Michelle Brummer from the Mifflin County Planning Commission. Brummer spoke about the county's comprehensive plan, which she said should be looked at every 10 years.
"The county as a whole saw a small increase in growth, but just a little bit," Brummer said. "What increased was the number of registered households, but the numbers in the households was lower."
She was referring to the last time a census was taken for the area. Brummer continued to say the census showed a large population of people older than 45. She said this is causing the comprehensive plan to change in the ways the planning commission looks at housing choices in the future.
"We should think about housing to be responsive toward our community," Brummer said. "Not only in the type of housing for seniors, but also the amenities for residents in need."
Brummer also spoke about the lower rates of higher education in the area, which causes the business and industry to change at a slower rate. Going back to the housing situations, during the part of her speech, Brummer said adding more modern housing opportunities, may draw those moving to the area for work to live here, but also to potentially draw a younger crowd.
"This crowd could have some degree of higher education," Brummer said. "Some of the people may be entrepreneurs who could bring new business to the area."
These are all things that Brummer said the planning commission is looking into during the comprehensive plan update. She also said townships need to make sure their road systems are in good working order, and to even improve roads to allow for easier access to the business and industrial parks. The local county roads, which see vehicular traffic ranging from bicycles, cars and horses and buggies, need to be repaired to make the area more appealing, Brummer said.
"I encourage all of the townships and municipalities to keep a comprehensive plan of the road projects that need to be done," Brummer said. "When you have that give it to us. We can then relay that information to the state authorities who could help."
Brummer said the group is also looking at land and resource conservation. Each county needs to be responsible to create more public parks and potential water access points, she said. She ended saying the county offers a good place to live and work, to raise a family and to retire.
"To stay competitive and keep this quality of life, the county needs to act and invest in these ideas, maybe even some more," Brummer said.
After Brummer finished, Elam Herr, assistant executive director for the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors, spoke about some of the current state legislation that could be passed or has been passed and how it could affect local governments. Herr said the state government would like to get rid of local governments, and some parameters are in place to do that.
"One of the parameters ,which is the worst of them all, is that if the size (of the population) is less than 100 people, then there should be no local government," Herr said. "Even if you, as a township, (are) not in debt and what you are doing is supported by the people living in the area."
Herr also said two-thirds of Americans have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in their local government's ability to handle local problems. The problem is local government has some resources that are not being used, most of this being in the transportation funding.
"Senate Bill 1, says $2.5 billion, could be created in new annual revenue by the third into the law," Herr said. "After PennDOT and mass transit gets money, this would cause about $300 million in liquid fuels money for local governments."
Herr said this would be about a 60 percent increase from previous years' legislation. He said the bill does help, and local governments need something done. Part of the build in the bridge bundling program, which happens when the local government says we have this many bridges of this size which need to be repaired. Herr said this part of bill allows PennDOT to repair the bridge with no cost being incurred by the local government.
The next law Herr talked about was the Right-to-Know Law reform. He said this reform will make open records easier to attain for the public, but it will also make it more workable for the people who are supplying the documents being requested.
"Most of the people who use this service are people in the jail system," Herr said. "Very few newspapers or other news sources use it."
Herr recommended the local governments talk to the state representatives and make them aware of what is going on in the municipalities. He said if that is done, the representatives will help you because they will be better informed.

Spicy Smoky Barbecue Sauce
Rebecca Lindamood (adapted from Melissa Ortiz of Alosha's Kitchen)
Recipe type:
Condiment, Sauce
Prep time:
30 mins
Cook time:
1 hour
Total time:
1 hour 30 mins
6 pints
Spicy, smoky, smooth, spoonable, pourable, dunkable, brushable; this barbecue sauce is everything a great barbecue sauce should be.
3 yellow onions, chopped
8-10 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup canola or vegetable oil
2 cups tomato paste
2 cups Dijon mustard
1½ cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups molasses
1 cup raw or brown sugar
1½ cups hoisin sauce
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 tablespoons ground New Mexican chili powder (this is simply ground New Mexico Chiles. *See notes for help finding it.)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Add the oil, onions and garlic to a heavy-bottomed stockpot (to help prevent scorching) over medium low heat.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and mostly translucent. Do not brown the onions and garlic.
Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Bring to a simmer (gently bubbling state) and cook, uncovered, over low heat for 30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly before blending until smooth, using either a stick (immersion) blender or a standard blender.
You can either split into 1-cup portions to freeze, transfer to a jar with a tight fitting lid for refrigerator storage, or proceed on to canning the sauce...
To Boiling Water Bath Can the Sauce for Shelf Storage:
Fill sterile canning jars to within ¼-inch of the top.
Wipe the rims with a paper towel dipped in vinegar.
Lay clean, new lids on the jars and screw on the rings to finger-tip tightness.
Place in a canner with water to cover the lids by 2-inches.
Bring to a boil, with the lid in place, and boil for 30 minutes for pint jars and 40 minutes for quarts.
Turn off the heat and let the jars rest in the water for 5 minutes before carefully transferring jars to a cooling rack to rest for 24 hours.
Remove rings, wipe jars, label and store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
To Pressure Can the Sauce for Shelf Storage:
Fill sterile canning jars to within 1-inch of the top.
Wipe rims with a paper towel dipped in vinegar.
Place lids on jars and screw on rings to finger-tip tightness.
Place in a pressure canner according to your manufacturer's instructions.
Process at 10 pounds of pressure for 20 minutes for pints and 25 minutes for quarts.
Allow the pressure canner to come back to atmosphere naturally. (Do not cool canner by pouring water over it.)
Transfer the jars to a cooling rack to rest for 24 hour hours.
Remove rings, wipe jars, label and store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
If you opt to freeze the sauce, be sure to do so in serving sized portions. It doesn't do you any good to have a ¾ gallon block of rock-solid, frozen barbecue sauce in the freezer! *If you're having difficulty finding Ground New Mexico Chile Powder, see the Pantry Builder link below the recipe.
