The Core'dinations Countdown to Christmas continues….
… with the wonderful Heather Bowser!
1. What is your most treasured Holiday memory? When I was little on Christmas Day after the presents were all opened we would go to see a Disney movie.
2. Do you have any special Holiday traditions that are unique to you and your family? It is not unique but we look forward to going to a tree farm to cut down our tree. Now that we have teenage boys they get to do the cutting. We love to decorate cookies and we do an advent with the children. and on Christmas morning we read the Chrismas story from the book of Luke.
3. What kind of holiday crafts are you making this year? For gifts I made a pin for my Grandma. She is a Red Hat Lady and my Mom bought her a purple coat and I made a pin from a tutorial at www.heatherbailey.typepad.com
I used a Sizzix die and my big shot to cut out the box template. I then ran the template through my big shot again with the Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder. I lightly sanded the dots. I assembled the box and added ribbon. I stamped and punched out the tag, adding glitter for sparkle.

Topic: Multiple Rails applications on Apache
My company is working to set up a new web server that is going to serve our new website. We have choosen to use RadiantCMS for the public site, and I have managed to set up Apache and Mongrel to run this applications, and its working as expected. I also want to run other Rails application(s) on the same server, and here is where I got into trouble. What I want is to be able to access the two different applications like this:
where the first URL points to out public website, and the second to our "internal" webapplication.
I have been playing with VirtualHost and made it work but only one applications at time. I guess I could have controlled this with Rails routes, but this is two separate applications, and I want to keep them separate.
Does anybody out there know what I should do to make this work?

A special cut from our interview with Walter Brueggemann. His reading of Psalm 146 (and his explanation of his understanding of the verse) is one you won't hear on the radio or in the podcast.
The people we later recognize as prophets, says Bible scholar Walter Brueggemann, are also poets. They reframe what is at stake in chaotic times. Hear a very special voice in conversation to address our changing lives and the deepest meaning of hope this season.

Share a Reflection
Brueggemann's comment about the destruction of the world trade center as our age's destruction of the second temple is an absurd reflection of the American conceit that what happens to us is some how more important than what happens to everyone else. Two buildings in one city were knocked down; the rest of us live in our cities, on our old streets, in our own homes. Virtually nothing has changed. At the fall of the second temple, the Hebrews' leaders were tortured to death, they were flayed alive, .... Their entire civilization was destroyed, ... And the Jewish profits lamented not only the destruction of the second temple but the of that of the first temple when the entire people were driven from their homes. A contemporary equivalent would be what is happening in Darfur or what the Talaban did (are doing) to the Afghani people. And, in some ways, what has happened to the Palestinian people who are being used as pawns. Also, while I feel less passionately about his comment that violence is increasing, social scientists who study societal trends are saying that in fact overall world violence has decreased in the last 50 years. His "lamentation" for the the present is a personal conceit. While there are evils in today's America, where is his superior future? How does he inspire congregants to work toward that future? By preaching a harangue from the pulpit?
Dear Sir or Madam, i believe
Dear Sir or Madam, i believe you missed his point. While I agree with you America is conceited in relationship to its place in the world I d nt believe Walter feels the way america does. I am deeply sorry for your obvious pain. please do not let it obscure your vision. Peace. Tim McCoy.
Walter Brueggemann compared the destruction of the Temple to 9/11 for his students. I think that the destruction of the Temple was much worse for the Jews at the time. The whole religion was based on the Temple and the sacrifices, but the Temple was destroyed and the sacrifices could not be carried out. Jews had to rebuild their whole religion. Modern Judaism is a rabbinic religion. Prayer, good deeds and study replaced the sacrifices. One of the purposes of Jewish law was to sanctify everyday life. The home became a portable Temple. Judaism would have died out otherwise and the Jewish people would have disappeared.
Reappraisal of spiritual life in the contemporary US, and a new reading of the Bible as poetry in Brueggemann's sense. Beautiful language spoken. A very nice gift for Christmas morning.
Your interview with Walter Brueggemann reinforced that power of prophecy as mediation in our society, which points to both the individual (or group) and the literary corpus. It is forms such as lively poetry and irony that often help us to move from being held captive by the dominant societal script of "technological, therapeutic, consumer militarism" (Brueggemann) and allow us to escape and embrace a new script of hope. Thanks for the interview!
Professor Brueggmenn stated that the US Church does not speak of how Capitalism commodifies every aspect of our lives, i would direct him to both the Secular and Religious Left; only there will you find this stand. Example Chris Hedges
First, let me thank you for your work. While I local npr station does not carry your program, I do support your work and catch all the programs online. I was a United Methodist minister for 27 years and only wish you had been around as a great resource. Walter Brueggemann is a long time favorite - my reading group just finished Prophetic Imagination. I have a suggestion. For me, the most important north american theologian still living is Douglas John Hall retired from McGill University. He lives in Montreal, studied at union with the greats, and has spent a lifetime working on a theology for north america. What made me think about him is his phrase that ministers today are "chaplains to the empire". I thought of that while Brueggemann was talking about why it is hard for minister to be prophetic. Halls work is extensive, accessible, and he is a wonderful human being. check him out!!! I think he would be a most engaging interview for you an d your listeners.
Thank you Don. I will
Thank you Don. I will definitely check out Douglas John Hall. A theology for North America and chaplains to the empire. Much food for thought in those phrases. I heard Walter Brueggemann in person and read Prophetic Imagination. A real gift. Looking forward to your recommendation.
What a beautiful interview.
I listened to it while in the middle of conversations about the nature of complex adaptive systems, emergence and order for a fascinating work project. It led to the following blog - I'd love all of your thoughts and feedback on it!
I might write another blog in the near future about lamentations - it reminded me of the importance of Joanna Macy's work.
I was reminded of the parable of the wine-skins. Maybe it's human nature, but Dr. Brueggemann highlights for me how our attempts at grasping, owning and describing God and The Gospel is like pouring new wine into old wine-skins... The outcome of such handling is certain. We need new wine-skins for this stuff, it's imperative!
Professor Brueggemann's
Professor Brueggemann's interview offers thought provoking conversation that provides each us in in our own personal lives some greater understanding of what can be a deeper relationship with God.
I was in conflict, however, as to a global application of his "theology." What specifically struck me was a comment that life does not turn out as we planned and biblical references should be seen in this context.
With tens of thousands of refugees in camps in Syria, conflict in CAR and across the Middle East, how does this interpretation apply to the disparity of wealth as seen in many countries as in our own United States?
Many people lives are being lived exactly as they plan, in extreme comfort, by way of greed, while others are at the mercy of despots and tyrants living in desert tents without heat or food.
What are we to make of this in biblical terms?
It's been awhile since I read
It's been awhile since I read The Prophetic Imagination, but I remember Professor Brueggemann's writing about how the Kings in the Bible (e.g., Solomon re-enslaving some of the Israelites to build the Temple) and the tyrants and powers that rule and have ruled human societies, (and yes even today's American leaders/bankers/millionaires and billionaires) all would stifle the prophetic imagination; would have us think "this is the way it is, it can't be changed, this is the way the economy works, just accept your lot and don't try to change it, or to stop what we are doing." Brueggemann argues that the prophetic imagination is the imagination that we all are capable of, individually and working together, to imagine that things can be better, that we can challenge injustice and we can bring about a better life, a life that would be more the way that God created us to live. It is a wonderful book, and I plan to re-read it and invite some others in my parish to read it with me. Thanks for this program!
fascinating. thanks again!
fascinating. thanks again! talking about "today's prophets" as just people with words or wearing the collar (bishop tutu) overlooks the huge reality that the prophets today speak with actions - human rights activists in poor countries, edward snowden and steve jobs, who if you understand his real soul wanted to change the world for the better first and foremost. there is a saying in buddhism that you know a being is an avatar by one measure: they do not fail. also bob dylan is obviously a prophert in the way discussed.probably the most obvious.
Thank you for today's show.

Sure was glad that the topic of eternal damnation didn't come up. I found, from the interview at least, Brueggemann to be a Humanist and not really a Christian? I'm an agnostic and the interview made my doubts stronger. Regardless, a great & inspiring interview for a God I'd like to believe in.
Professor Brueggmann's
Professor Brueggmann's interview informed and enlighten me ... his insightful commentary of the prophetic writings edified my understanding ... Krista, you are a master teacher and a most skilled interviewer .. Thank you "On Being" broadcast!!!
Brueggemann is at the
Brueggemann is at the farthest, the illogical end of the spectrum of the prophetic imagination. He rants vituperatively against the rich of the world, and in doing so forgets that Christ came both the rich and the poor. Contrary to Bruggemann's fevered imagination, God is not partial to the economically disenfranchised. Too often the good professor goes off on a rant against capitalist driven economic system, and forgets that the system is necessary for the functioning of a village's well being, a city's life, a nation's prosperity, and a world's functioning. After all, if philanthropy is the salubrious outcome of capitalism, then philanthropy enables at least one poor village in central Africa to taste the good life: clothes, water, medical clinics, and electricity. How then can capitalism be a bad thing? Bruggemann whilst talking about capitalism engages in a false dichotomy-bad v good, and thereby looses standing to appeal to those who love, benefit and appreciate capitalism. (Pope Francis has also been cut from the same cloth as Bruggemann in this regard.) I am not denying that there is great economic injustice in the world, but one cannot blame economic injustice solely on capitalism as Bruggemann does. There are other factors: human actors, and human greed. Why does not he talk about human greed, sin and folly? Surely there is a material richness in talking about folly, sin and greed that infects most of our individual and collective intentions!
I suggest for a more
I suggest for a more comprehensive understanding of the socio/theological bases behind these issues read: "The Powers that Be" by theologian Walter Wink.
This is one of the most
This is one of the most meaningful conversations on theology that I have heard. It is lengthy and I know we are all very busy so will post it again after Christmas. It is well worth the time and full of insight that makes some sense of issues that have puzzled me for years.
I share this as a gift to my dear friends on Facebook.
I fully understand my fellow
I fully understand my fellow Jews being insulted by Brueggemann's contextualizing the horrors of the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem recorded in the book of Lamentations by using 9/11 as an analogy. As they have stated above, the terrors of the two events are nowhere close to being on the same scale. That said, it is a useful analogy to provide young people with *some* degree of a reference for understanding Lamentations. In fact, I recall a few years ago Rabbi Irwin Kula took the transcriipts of phone calls made by victims of the attack on the World Trade Center to their loved ones during their last moments of life and set them to the melody used for reading the book of Lamentations on Tisha Be-Av, the Jewish holiday commemorating the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem nearly two-thousand years ago. It can be heard here: http://www.clal.org/911cd/Track06.mp3
I loved this interview and
I loved this interview and was inspired by it to read further in Brueggemann, and then to write a brief devotional based on it. I hope you like what I've done. I love your show, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's changing the way I think and live. May God bless you in this exciting and influential ministry he's given you Krista.

About the Author: Erin Hatch serves in the State Department's Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science.
On Wednesday, June 17, the State Department's Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science (OES) met with twenty undergraduate students from Malaysia, Singapore, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea who were competitively selected to participate in a "Study of the United States Institute on the Environment" (USIE) program, coordinated by the East-West Center and funded by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program provides a platform for international undergraduate students to meet with leading scientists, community leaders, business owners, state and federal government agencies, and NGO groups in the United States to discuss key environmental challenges with a focus on viable solutions. At the end of the program, each student is required to investigate a research question pertinent to environmental challenges facing his or her country of origin. During the six-week program, participants visited the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Oahu, the San Francisco and Monterey Bay area, and the District of Columbia.
Christine Dawson of OES's Biodiversity Team and Todd Capson in OES's Office of Marine Conservation provided an overview of the bureaus' programs on biodiversity conservation for flora and fauna as well as sustainable fisheries management in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. NGO representatives from The Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund spoke about recent successes with the Coral Triangle Initiative, a regional marine conservation program which aptly demonstrates multilateral partnering in achieving sustainable marine conservation and development.
An education and research organization, the East-West Center was established by the U.S. Congress in 1960 to strengthen relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs sponsors worldwide programs of international exchange, including the Study of the United States Institute on the Environment, to increase mutual understanding and empower the next generation of leaders with transformative experiences. OES looks forward to continuing its relationship with the East-West Center and was thrilled to host the promising scholars from ECA's and East-West Center's 2009 summer programming.

I just ran across this film and thought it might be of interest to everyone @ OES & ECA as well as the readership of Dipnote.
Leon Cooper, goes back to the hallowed battleground of Tarawa, site of the bloodiest three days in 20th Century American war history, only to find the beaches full of trash and garbage, and works with Dept of State officials and locals to create a program to clean up the environment, create jobs, and respect the fallen in combat.
Kind of a unique documentary, and I was impressed that the State Dept took such a supportive role in this one man's efforts.
Gives a rare look at diplomacy in action.

Please share.
Flonihoncha wrote:About 2 g of tea and 70 cc of 70°C water.
Whisk it first slowly but strongly, touching the bottom of the bowl. Then, get speed and mix until you get bubbles. You can finally mix slowly the surface of the liquid to get more thin bubbles.
Mouvrment had to come from all the arm and shoulder, not only the hand.
It's easier if your arm is straight down over the bowl.

Pay twice the amount that other premium blades cost. These things work better than any other blade I've used... Ever. I hope they hold up through Ohio winter. I'm betting that they will.

Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Mark Warawa Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-NDP coalition bill would have forced Canada to diverge from the very similar targets that our government has with President Obama in the United States. That is a 17% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
The coalition would lead us down a path of isolation, further economic downturn and a loss of jobs. That is not what Canadians want.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Wayne Marston Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, ON
Mr. Speaker, over a year ago I tabled a bill designed to help the disabled Nortel workers. A similar bill in the Senate was defeated by Conservative senators last night. Clearly the unaccountable senators have abandoned these workers.
The clock has all but run out for these workers. The minister has repeatedly said in the House that he would do something for them. Will he put aside his speaking points and tell the House right here, right now, what he will do for them?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, I can tell the hon. member that we on this side of the House, as I believe all MPs and senators, sympathize with the plight of these individuals, particularly those with long-term disabilities.
The fact is the solutions proffered by the NDP and proffered by the Liberals in the Senate do not help those people one iota. They do not help. They would be in court for years. That is the expert testimony that was heard at the Senate. They are not helping.
We on this side of the House are looking for solutions to help people, not engage in soulless rhetoric designed for the cameras and not for the people of Canada.
Public Safety
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Daryl Kramp Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, today the Federal Court of Canada ruled to uphold the security certificate of Mr. Mohamed Harkat. The reason for the judgment, Justice Noel wrote:
I find that Mr. Harkat has engaged in terrorism, that he is a danger to the security of Canada and that he is a member of the Bin Laden Network through his past work...
Could the Minister of Public Safety please tell the House how today's court ruling supports the government's approach to countering terrorism and protecting our national security?
Public Safety
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is steadfast in our commitment to ensure Canadians are safe from terrorist threats.
Today the Federal Court determined that there were reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Harkat was a threat to national security. Our priority remains taking the action necessary to ensure Canadians are safe.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the natural catastrophe that hit the lower St. Lawrence is of concern to all Canadians. People have lost everything they worked so hard for all their lives and much infrastructure was damaged and literally carried away by the water. Such a disaster had not happened since 1914.
Will the government agree to put its technical, professional, human and financial resources at Quebec's disposal in the event that the province asks for its help?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we share the concern for what happened in the St. Lawrence area. There is a real human tragedy there and we feel for those people.
As well, we have a relationship with the provincial government to ensure that where there is a natural disaster, or a disaster of any type in the province, a formula kicks in. There are processes where our officials work together to ensure we look after those citizens by working through pre-established terms and conditions that have been put in place with the Quebec government.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
December 9th, 2010 / 3 p.m.
Yvon Lévesque Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC
Mr. Speaker, after many years of negotiations following the 1975 James Bay Agreement, a marine region agreement was finally signed by the federal government and the Cree. With unprecedented participation, the Cree Nation voted almost unanimously in favour of the agreement, which cannot come into force unless backed by a law.
What is the government waiting for to keep its promise made to the Cree of Eeyou Istchee and introduce the bill that was supposed to have been presented in September?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Vancouver Island North
John Duncan Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, we are in the final drafting and the member can expect that legislation imminently.
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is way off track when it comes to actually protecting the environment. Yesterday, when questioned about the Edéhzhie area of the Northwest Territories, also known as the Horn Plateau, the government laughably said, "a national wildlife area designation does not preclude development". Opening the door to resource exploitation in these protected areas has forced the Dehcho First Nation to take this government to court.
Why is the government wasting everyone's time and money through this court case? Is it another Lancaster Sound? Where is the issue? Either these areas are protected or they are not.
The Environment
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Vancouver Island North
John Duncan Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, the member is quite correct. Where is the issue? Any plans for exploration or development would have to include measures to mitigate environmental impacts in a way that would protect the conservation values of the proposed national wildlife area. Everything is as it should be.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, more and more Canadians are coming out against the Liberal Party's disastrous economic policies. They know the tax and spend policies of the Liberal leader will kill both jobs and the economy. The Liberal plan to target job creators with massive hikes is just the latest example. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce calls it a "disastrous idea".
Could the parliamentary secretary tell us what employers in the forestry industry are saying?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ted Menzies Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, we all know that the Liberal leader's plan to raise taxes will simply kill Canadian jobs. It will kill economic growth. It will harm Canada's economy. The Liberal job-killing taxes are dead wrong.
The Forest Products Association of Canada, which employs hundreds of thousands of Canadians, said yesterday, "the business tax reductions...are an important part of the industry's recovery plan for the period ahead".
Why, once again, are the Liberals threatening Canada's forestry workers and their employers?

Meeting Description:
Changing Genre Conventions in Historical News Discourse
Date: 18-19 May 2012
Place: Rostock, Germany
We are pleased to announce the 3rd International Conference on Historical News Discourse (CHINED III), which follows up the inspiring conferences held in Florence (2004) and Zurich (2007). CHINED III will take place in Rostock, Germany, 18-19 May 2012.
CHINED III will bring together the latest research on historical news discourse. Adopting a broad definition of news discourse, the focus of this conference will be on the dynamics of genre conventions, particularly its triggers, agents and mechanisms. The conference aims at stimulating theoretical and methodological discussions, and also welcomes empirical studies in this field.
This conference, like the two previous ones, adopts a broad perspective on historical news discourse, including prototypical examples such as pamphlets and newspapers as well as documents from various speech situations such as political speeches, proclamations and announcements.
Keynote Speaker:
Irma Taavitsainen, University of Helsinki
Call for Papers:
We invite papers which share an interest in the dynamics of genre conventions and focus on:
- Theoretical aspects, methodological challenges and results of empirical research in historical news discourse
- Multi-feature analysis or research on individual features (including lexical, structural and textual characteristics as well as pragmatic and sociolinguistic aspects)
- Triggers, agents and mechanisms of change in genre conventions
Extended deadline for abstract submission: December 15, 2011
Conference organisers: Birte Bös, Lucia Kornexl (University of Rostock)

A "star was born" in Mexico City this past Thursday & Saturday...
The Jazz have fought through injuries all season to become a real threat to win the Northwest Division (currently lead OKC by one game at 26-16). Defense has been Utah's strength all season, as the Jazz rank first in both points allowed (94.8 PPG) and opponents' FG percentage (43.0%) plus while the Jazz are near the bottom in points scored (999.0 PPG ranks 28th), the team shoots well (46.6% overall, including 37.0% on threes, both of which rank 8th). Gordon Hayward is now one of the league's best small forwards and along with center Rudy Gobert, are both making strong cases for All-Star consideration. Hayward is averaging a career-best 22.1 points per game this season on 46.8 percent shooting (adds 5.8 RPG and 3.6 APG). Gobert is imposing on the defensive end and has 10-plus rebounds in 27 straight games and has notched 28 double-doubles this season. Gobert is also averaging career highs in points (12.3 per game), rebounds (12.4) and blocks (2.5).
However, the Suns come into this contest having won three of five games (no small feat for a team with a 13-27 record) and Booker's (20.3 PPG on the season) play in Mexico City has had to give him confidence. Teamed with PG Bledose (20.0-5.0-5.9) and backup PG Knight (12.2), the Suns have an excellent backcourt. Yes, small forward T.J. Warren (14.0) is the Suns' lone scoring threat up front but center Tyson Chandler should be looking forward to his matchup with Gobert, as he comes in averaging 17.4 RPG over his last five.
The Jazz have hosted the Suns twice this season with wins by just seven and five points, respectively. Utah failed to cover either game and here at Talking Stick Resort Arena (do the Suns ever play an actual home game?), I look for Utah have plenty of trouble. Take the 'home' dog!

True Ramblings of a rambling mindPosted Sunday, January 31, 2010, at 10:12 AM
Just have to read the column to find out about this one.
That is not actually why I used to go to Montreal at this time of year. It was for a Paper Industry trade show, but it has been dying a slow decline and this year it will lose one more attendee.
The cold, snow and thoughts of Montreal triggered another memory of a business associate from Quebec who passed on last week. It was not an easy passing for my friend and his family but I am SURE he is having a GOOD time in Heaven now. Likewise, I would bet they are glad to see him because he always lit up the room when he was there.
Thinking of Pierre made me think of French food and got my culinary creativity up, so I cooked French toast for breakfast (with a few "special" ingredients). I had already eaten the first batch by the time Deb and her mother got up, so I cooked another batch for them. They did not take my temperature, but you could tell they were wondering what was going on.
This morning's sun on the snow had my photographic juices going too so when I headed out to feed the drop-off cats, I carried my camera with great anticipation. It was as beautiful as I expected but oops, I forgot to charge the battery. That did not happen with my old film cameras. The meter battery might die, but I could still use the old brain for settings and shoot anyway.
While this camera has a 5X zoom it is no where near capable of taking the close-ups I am used to with the film camera so I tried an experiment I read about on the internet, shooting through an existing 35mm lens. Something was missing in the translation I guess 'cause all I got was the picture seen above. Interesting, but not what I had in mind.
The sun is so bright on the snow that being out there was actually painful, plus the screen was so hard to see that I just pointed at what I though I wanted and shot. While I love the portability of this camera and it is great for snapshots, I am severely limited in creativity through the lens, or at least the kind I was used to with film.
Of course being digital, I can bring it back in to the computer and get creative like I used to in the darkroom, without the chemicals ad restrictions of working in the dark. Plus, the software makes difficult processes so easy.
So what is the bottom line when comparing digital and film? I won't know until I work with a full blown, professional DSLR, which may never happen, so....... the jury will stay out, for now.
We had about 5.5 inches of snow up here on the hill and I believe we would not be able to feed the cats or get back home without the 4 wheel drive truck. One of our neighbors on another hill has no tire marks or steps in their driveway so they are either tucked in for the duration or went somewhere to wait out the freeze.
Well, I have plenty of time to work on eBay and other computer stuff, so I guess I will get to work. We hope everyone is able to stay warm.

The D60...basic, but it does the job for me. My brother bought the D5000 and has no clue how to use it. I've been tempted to drive to KY and snag it from him...but my camera being used is worth more than his sitting on his shelf!

Wow, that's awesome cherokee2! My longest is the 70-300 and I love getting some close bird shots with my Nikon. I can't imagine 1000mm! I will have to check out the crosshatch filter also!

I'm in Alabama, safe and warm, not dealing with the snow YAYYY!!!!!! I hate the snow so I'm enjoying spending my time with my fiance and his family cozy and semi-warm unsnowed in down here :) It's nice to go to the store and not have to deal with all the ice. Icckkkk! Steve, post pics of your animals in the snow soon. Can't wait.
-- Posted by freakyfriday on Mon, Feb 1, 2010, at 9:01 PM
Steve, my camera is an Olympus e-520 and the 1000 mm lens for it weighs about 12 ounces. And they make adaptor rings for almost everything. I just made a frame for the camera to re-shoot all my slides. With a piece of translucent plastic behind the slide and a small flurescent behind that it works very well. What wow'd me is it holds 2 ram cards, one of which holds 3200 large format pictures, and the other will do panorama shots.
-- Posted by cherokee2 on Mon, Feb 1, 2010, at 7:17 PM
1000 mm! Holy Cow, that is a powerful lens. In the old days, you would need a caddy to carry that around for you, how much do the new ones weigh?
What brand DLSR did you get?
Because of all the lenses I have I am locked in to Nikon, but I have read that there are adapter rings, anyone use them?
I would think you could probably put a crosshatch filter in front of a plain digital. I kept trying to create the effect in Adobe Photo Shop but never got what I wanted. I probably should call our daughter. She would know if I PS has a filter to do that.
-- Posted by stevemills on Mon, Feb 1, 2010, at 3:41 PM
amalphia, you can get the sparkle by using something called a crosshatch filter. And Steve, I just got my first DSLR with a 1000 mm lens and I'm totally blown away. Using it right now with regular lens to convert all my old slides to jpegs. Got a lot of beautiful ice tree shots today and one picture of a goliath woodpecker in flight.
-- Posted by cherokee2 on Sun, Jan 31, 2010, at 7:08 PM
Yes, Neighborhood mom, the iced trees were beautiful. I said they looked like they were covered in sparkling diamonds. I asked if a still shot could capture the sparkle. My other half is the photographer in the family and he said, "No." It's the subtle movement of the frozen tree limbs that causes the light to refract off the ice. He's so factual sometimes - I like my diamond trees better. Still would like to try to get a shot of them before they are all gone.
-- Posted by amalphia on Sun, Jan 31, 2010, at 5:08 PM
I have one of the "low" end dSLR's and absolutely love it. I have taught myself so much in the past year that I've had it...I've always wanted to get into photography, but the expense along with processing just wasn't in my budget thru the years. Digital has changed that. Unfortunately I've taken so many "good" ones (and even came in 2nd place in a contest) that I need a few more walls in my house! :) And what a beautiful morning to take a walk! The ice twinkling in the sun made for some awesome sights! We may not have had church this morning, but we were enjoying God's gifts for sure!
p.s. I have also seen that film lens swap, but can't remember what it all entailed either.
-- Posted by neighborhood mom on Sun, Jan 31, 2010, at 2:53 PM
I think we get the picture amalphia but I appreciate YOUR appreciation of the commitment we guys give to keep the house warm.
It was the first real snow for three of our pets and yes, they all seemed to have as much fun as children. Taking a still picture does not get the point across as well as a video. I fumbled with my camera to try to figure out how to do it, but the shot was gone by then.
By the way, I forgot to mention in my original post that I was shooting through a 25-200 foot zoom lens. Since it was meant for an SLR camera I guess the digital did not compute.
-- Posted by stevemills on Sun, Jan 31, 2010, at 12:42 PM
Our dogs loved the snow, I wish I had a video cam. Our collie mix figured that for traction he needed a wider "wheel base." Watching him try to chase the birds was hysterical. At 50+ pounds his weight did not break the ice crust, so he slipped and slid -legs at full speed, but forward motion was very slow. Our boxer-lab mix watched from the porch to assess the situation. She hit the ice crust with her rear tucked low and her front legs stiff with a great high stepping "lick." Her stance and gait allowed her to move easily across the yard. She's a TN dog and I guess she's a "Tennessee Walking dog!" We will not discuss how my other half navigated the ice to bring in more wood. Sometimes he reads what I write and it's not right to laugh at the person who bravely goes out and bings the wood in to heat the house.

Spaghetti alla Carbonara
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 cups cubed pancetta rind removed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or vermouth
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly ground nutmeg
Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta.
In another large pan that will fit the pasta later, cook the pancetta cubes in the oil until crispy but not crunchy. Pour over the white wine or vermouth and let it bubble away so that, after a few minutes, you have a small amount of salty winey syrup left. Take the pan off the heat.
In a bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and pepper. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, but since you want it kept al dente start checking it 2 minutes before end of the recommended cooking time.
When the pasta is done, remove approximately 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining. Put the pan with the bacon cubes back on the heat and add the drained pasta, tossing well to coat with the syrupy pancetta. Take the pan off the heat again and add the eggs and cheese mixture, swiftly tossing everything to mix. Thin with pasta water, if needed. Grind over some more pepper and grate over the nutmeg to serve.

How do you get busy moms to get a flu shot for herself when almost everything she does is for others? This was an important question for Walgreens. The answer: help moms see that getting a flu shot is less about doing something for herself as it is a way to protect loved ones.

A legacy is secured…and it only took 30 yearsThursday, October 27th, 2011
Omlie was the first woman to get an aviation mechanic license, as well as the first woman to earn a commercial certificate. She flew a Monocoupe Warner in the very first Women's Transcontinental Air Race in 1929, competing against pilots like Pancho Barnes, Amelia Earhart, and Louise Thaden. She was one of the charter members of the International Organization of Women Pilots (the Ninety-Nines).
What's great about this story is not that a building was named for Omlie (although that is a pretty neat thing). It's the backstory–the story behind the story. According to the University of Memphis Department of History, the campaign to get some local recognition for Omlie began more than 30 years ago, when aviation enthusiast James Kacarides initially proposed in 1971 that the city name the downtown Memphis airport for her. (They didn't.) * And later he suggested that the reveloped Millington airport be given her name. (It wasn't.) Kacarides then proposed that the existing KMEM tower be named for her, but was told that it would take an act of Congress because the tower was federal property.
Kacarides went to Congress and somehow, somewhere, someone listened; President Ronald Reagan signed a bill permitting the change in June 1982. Guess what happened next? The air traffic controllers went on strike; President Reagan fired them; and in the turmoil that followed, "the FAA suddenly had other priorities," as the University of Memphis puts it in what may be the understatement of the year.
At any rate, the plaque–if one had indeed been ordered–never arrived and the tower was never dedicated. But Kacarides didn't forget. (See now why I love this story?) He and University of Memphis Professor Janann Sherman, who has written a biography of Omlie, helped to jumpstart the effort. A brand-new tower that went into service in June was officially dedicated on Oct. 20–and Kacarides and Sherman were there to see it. (Thanks and a tip of the flying helmet to Heather Taylor, producer of the documentary "Breaking Through the Clouds," for alerting me to this article.)
*Edited to fix reference to General DeWitt Spain airport. Thanks to reader Maurice!

Carne asada means grilled meat. Since the meat is cut in strips, a grill pan or skillet works well instead of a barbecue. The meat is seasoned before it goes in the pan, and then served on tortillas with a choice of condiments like guacamole, red onion, cilantro and lime.

Mrs. Woozl, hi.
I love the idea of supporting businesses as long as you know the costs and what's what. Everyone has to make a living. It might be higher firing costs or a per hour charge or clay. Just my impression.
If this doesn't work out, I suggest trying the local community college where often you can get great labs and good instruction.
CONGRATULATIONS on your new life path. I have this feeling that you are going to love ceramics. You come to it from a good direction being involved in the use of ceramics. You probably have ideas and know what works and what doesn't in a finished piece. For a lot of folks this is actually new information which I find extraordinary since they use cups plates and bowls every day presumably.
Anyway keep us posted on how things go.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $1.18 (17% off)
Posted by Reviewer1390674 on Jul 16, 2012
I consider myself kind of a nut butter fanatic (I've paid up to $12 for a good tub of nut butter). I've long been a fan of Justin's Almond Butter - it's the best one I've found. I bought the honey peanut butter blend because it was on sale... I like the taste of peanut butter, but I usually eat almond butter because it's better for you. This one is WOW. I opened up the Honey PB blend just for a quick taste, and I ended up eating so much that I practically made a meal out of it. Great texture too - not to runny and didn't separate like most natural PBs.
Awesome spread
Posted by 4642057297206535882 on Nov 22, 2013
Whoever this Justin is, I LOVE HIM. I've tried two Justin's nut butter spreads so far, and both have been amazing. Such a great change from just plain peanut butter! Love it!

just like peanutbutter:)
Posted by Reviewer3102171 on Dec 04, 2013
Absolutely adore this! The best peanut butter I've ever tried, smooth, creamy and crunchy at the same time.
Posted by 4813291584509276250 on Mar 08, 2014
The honey butter has a delightfully sweet honey taste to it that is just strong enough to create a distinct flavor, but not be overpowering. It goes well with a rather light jam or jelly, or by itself on some toast.
Now this is peanut butter
Posted by 5273286042314959823 on Apr 25, 2014
The best word to describe this peanut butter is rich. The texture is quite thick which works well for putting on fruit and reduces the possibility of a mess. And speaking of messes, I like the fact that these jars aren't filled to the top, which gives you room to stir without spilling oil everywhere.
Only peanut butter that I love
Posted by Ahpeng on Sep 01, 2014
This one does not cause any sore throat unlike the other commercial brands in supermarkets. Thumbs up. Love this one with a bit of honey.

The Aqua Velvets are one of the world's premier surf instrumental bands. Their sound is a blend of surf, latin rhythms, blues, lounge exotica, and free-form improvisation.
Originating in San Francisco in the early 1990s, the Aqua Velvets released their first CD in 1992 on the indie label Riptide/Heyday Records. They were signed to Atlantic Records in 1995 with the release of the groundbreaking Surfmania, and they are currently signed with Milan Records—a soundtrack label under Warner Music—with which they have released the beautiful Nomad and Guitar Noir. They have recorded ten CDs in total, and bandleader guitarist Miles Corbin has released several solo projects as well.

I was sitting in one of the local coffee houses recently – the one that ought to be named "Fivebucks" – and was the unwilling audience of a small group of people who were discussing their woes.
Apparently all of these folks have special children. I don't mean special in the connotation of "Special Olympics", but in the sense that "my goodness, my children are so special".

Pros: neutrality, chameleon, smooth midrange, detail and speed, crazy good deal.
Cons: Needs solid amping, can sound a bit flat, takes some getting used to
The orthodynamic club at Head-fi probably feels a little outspoken at times. They have a less common headphone technology that they believe very strongly is fundamentally superior to the traditional dynamic drivers that we see so often. The dauntingly enormous orthodynamic roundup thread is a testament to the dedication and passion of this Head-fi subculture. To make matters worse, there are very few companies still producing orthos. There are some hugely expensive offerings, but only one brand making affordable offerings. That company is Fostex, though many consider the new flagship T50RP to be inferior to some of the vintage orthos from the '70s.
I am not an expert on orthos by any stretch of the imagination, but I was intrigued by the discussions in that thread. The Fostex T50RP are not really that cheap, so I decided to give them a shot.
I'm glad I did.
Some of the rumours about the T50RP are true. They don't have strong bass, and they are very neutral and balanced. Anyone who is really into the Grado sound or any other hi-fi sound signature can just stop reading now. For those who like a more neutral presentation, however, these really do offer something special for a bargain price. I've been putting mine through their paces for a few weeks now, and I'm driving them from my Yamaha Home Theatre receiver, and custom built Texas Instruments DAC/AMP.
Ask any ortho fan what makes them better than dynamic headphones, and they will talk about the smooth, beautiful midrange and an incredible transient speed. This is the paradoxical mystery of the T50RP, because they manage to be capable of enveloping warmth, but also painstakingly detailed and precise. Jeff Buckley's Lilac Wine is one of my main test tracks for vocals, and I've rarely heard him sound better. The T50RP brings out the tone of his voice beautifully, and places it just where it should be in the soundstage. That midrange does stunning things for guitar and piano as well, where the speed and accuracy create some truly beautiful music.
Of course, at this price we expect some compromise. In this case, that stunning midrange comes at the cost of some extension at both ends of the sound spectrum. With the new earpads (replaced in the lineup a couple years ago), I wouldn't call these bass light compared to a few of my cans, but they lack the punch and depth I've found in my DT990s and DT150s. Massive Attack's Angel does have a reasonable amount of bass, but it is genuinely balanced and never threatens to overwhelm. It lacks definition, though, and doesn't have the velvety texture of the DT990s.
The same is true of a rolling off at the high end. Treble is certainly present when it's found in the recording, but cymbals don't have the sharp sizzle that Beyerdynamic cans demonstrate. For people who hate sibilance more than anything else, this is a good thing. It takes away some of the space in recordings, though, and although Buckley's voice sounds spectacular on these cans, the track doesn't have the air around it that it does on some of my other headphones. It's overall fairly forgiving on harsh recordings, though, which is more than I can say for my Beyerdynamic cans. As a side note, the same is not true of low bitrate recordings, which sound terrible on the Fostex headphones.
On Head-fi, we often talk about headphones that melt into the background. The Fostex T50RP are the best cans for this I have ever owned. If I feed them with bright Queen recordings, that brightness comes through with speed and energy. If I toss some Chemical Brothers at them, they push out a bass sweep that never stops dipping lower. Rock music has punch, Soul is laid back and groovy, jazz recordings are light and airy... these work pretty well for almost anything. The first time I put these on, everything felt strange and a bit different. After some time adjusting, though, everything feels just about right.
There are times that I'm in the mood for other things, and that prevents the T50RP from being my ultimate headphones. Sometimes, I want more bass than I can get from these things stock. There are other times that I want something a bit more musical and aggressive. Still, if I want to hear what a track really sounds like, the T50RP is the headphone I reach for every time.
Of course, there's more to a pair of headphones than just the sound. These are also some of the most comfortable headphones I own. Once I found the right adjustment with the headband, I find the fit of these is just about perfect for me. There's a point of contact at the top of my head that holds them in place, and since it's rubber, it never slips out of place. There is very little side pressure, just enough to get a seal over my ears. I can wear these for hours without any discomfort, which makes them even better as professional audio tools.
With the T50RP, it is important to talk about driving them as well. These are not easy cans to drive. Looking at the specs (50ohm impedance and sensitivity in the high 90s), these shouldn't be especially hard to drive, but they sound terrible without plenty of juice. Portable players are right out, and they don't sound good out of my Hotaudio Bitperfect, either. The good side of this is that they will take an astonishing amount of power if plugged into an amp that can supply it. Another peek at the specs reveals that these are rated to handle up to 3000mW, which is borderline absurd. While you would never actually want to put that kind of current into a pair of headphones, it means that these drivers will not distort, even when pushed past what any headphone should be asked to dish out. Of course, that doesn't mean I recommend playing these at 130dB, but apparently they can do it if your ears can.
I can see how many people have been unimpressed with these headphones during an initial audition. They didn't sound right to my ears, and I find I still have a five minute adjustment period every time I put them on. Once my ears adjust, though, I really enjoy these headphones with almost any music. That, alone, makes them well worth the asking price. If you haven't yet dabbled in the fringe Head-fi experience of orthodynamics, it just might be time you did.

Feature Story: It's A Small World
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 29, 2012) – The U.S. Men's Junior National Volleyball Team used big swings and scrappy defense to defeat Mexico 25-18, 25-18, 25-20 on Wednesday evening at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., and capture Pool A in the 2012 NORCECA Men's Junior Continental Championship (U-21).
With the win the U.S. (3-0) secured a spot in the semifinals on Friday, bypassing the quarterfinal round. The top three finishing teams in the NORCECA Men's Junior Continental Championship earn berths into the 2013 FIVB Volleyball Men's Junior World Championship.
Opposite Ben Patch (Provo, Utah) delivered continuous shots from the right side for a match-high 12 kills, two blocks and 14 points. Patch started all three sets and built on the successful set-and-attack from the hands of team captain and setter Micah Christenson (Honolulu).
"Micah and I spoke before the match and we talked about wanting to find a connection tonight," Patch said. "We figured that tonight would be the best night to bring it out since Mexico is a good team and we knew that if we played our game we would be contenders and we obviously showed that."
U.S. libero Tony Ensbury (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) was the core of the U.S. defense keeping the floor clean with quick-reaction plays.
"We wanted to just stay focused out there," Ensbury said. "We knew that if we stayed calm during the longer rallies or a missed opportunities and took care of our side of the net that we would be ok. We kept saying to look to the next play, the next ball, side out and nail the pass."
Team USA out blocked Mexico 13-1 and produced a 41-29 attack point margin. The USA converted 47.7 percent of its attacks despite posting 25 errors.
With the win Team USA (3-0), defending tournament champion, advances directly to Friday's semifinal round and Mexico (2-1) will challenge Pool B's third-place team, Guatemala, in a quarterfinal match on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. MST.
"We finally get a day off and are going to relax," Ensbury said. "We have practice in the morning and then are just going to take some time off."
U.S. Men's Junior National Volleyball Team Head Coach Peter Hanson started the first and second sets with Greg Petty and D.J. White (Hermosa Beach, Calif.) at outside, Christenson at setter, and Matt Tarantino (Van Nuys, Calif.) and Nick Olsen (New Berlin, Wis.) at middle blocker, Patch at opposite and Ensbury at libero. Michael Henchy (Ventura, Calif.) started the third set for Petty at outside.
White posted his tournament personal-best 12 points off of 11 kills and a block. Olsen and Tarantino both charted seven points. Olsen connected on five kills and two blocks while Tarantino posted a team-high four blocks and three kills.
Henchy played in the second set and started the third with four kills, one block and one service ace for six points. Petty delivered three kills for three points while James Shaw (Woodside, Calif.) posted two kills and a block after subbing in the third set. Scott Rhein subbed in all three sets at outside and posted a service ace. West clocked playing time in the third set at setter.
"Congratulations to Mexico for a hard fought match," said Christenson, who serves as the U.S. captain. "Going into the match we knew Mexico would be a crafty opponent. For the semifinals, we will prepare the same way by focusing on us first and working on the scouting report."
"I thought it was a well-played match by both teams," Hanson said. "Mexico did some things tonight that we had not seen other opponents do. They run a diverse offense with combinations. We were able to settle into the match and have patience on our side of the net. Mexico played with lots of energy and it was a fun match."
"We couldn't control the great service of the USA team, so we could not make all our combination plays" Mexico head coach Justo Arias said. "We need to practice more on our block as USA hit very high."
"Congratulations to USA," Mexico captain Jonathan Ponce said. "It was a great match. USA is taller than us and we wanted to use our combinations to get more points. We gave all we had on the court. This morning we talked about how this would be like a final for us. We hope to face USA later."
Mexico started the first set with a service error giving the U.S. the quick advantage in momentum. A double block from patch and Tarantino kept the momentum going at 2-0. Mexico capitalized on a gap in the U.S. block for its first point of the set and match. Petty misjudged his distance and attacked into the net, but a quick kill from Tarantino in the middle kept the U.S. ahead at 3-2. Mexico then sent an attack long followed by a U.S. error, in the net at 4-3. Petty fired a hard-hit too much for Mexico's libero to handle to give the U.S. a two-point lead at 5-3. A huge dig from Ensbury gave Olsen the chance for an attack and kill at 6-3. Olsen charted his second kill at 7-4 but Petty overshot his target and sent a serve long for an error and point, Mexico. White responded with a swing from the left side to bring the set to 8-5 before the first technical timeout of the set. Out of the timeout the U.S. posted three points off of a Mexico error, a huge triple block off the arms of Tarantino, White and Christenson followed by an encore block from Tarantino and Christenson. At 11-5 Mexico called a timeout. Patch posted a kill from the right side to keep Olsen back to serve at 12-5. Mexico tossed a floater over the net into a gap and took the ball back at 12-6. Patch found the end line on an attack for point, U.S. Tarantino delivered a one-and-done to a gap in the middle followed by a long serve by White and a long serve by Mexico at 15-8. Patch chose to hit a soft shot over the net and found open space for a kill at 16-9 followed by a Mexico timeout. Each team charted errors to bring the set to 17-10 before Mexico delivered a kill that Ensbury couldn't get to. From a textbook set off Christenson, Olsen attacked lights-out for a huge kill at 18-12. Petty served into the net and Mexico got the ball back. Patch's kill-attempt wet long bring Mexico within five at 18-13. White posted his second kill from the left side followed by a double block off of the U.S. at 20-13. A lucky roll down the tape of the net gave Mexico the first point off the timeout. Christenson capitalized on a ball saved by Patch for a one-touch kill at 21-14. A missed block, made up for by Patch and Tarantino on the left side followed by a kill from Patch from the right side brought the set to 23-16. Patch gave the defense no chance with a kill from the right side to give the U.S. set point at 24-17. Mexico delivered a service error to give the U.S. the first set at 25-18.
Mexico posted the first point at the set turn with a kill from the left side. White responded with a kill of his own into open territory in the back row. Petty posted back-to-back kills to bring the U.S. to a 3-1 lead. An over-shot set gave Mexico an easy kill to tie the set at 3's. Patch came from the right side to give an unanswerable attack before Mexico delivered a bullet of its own to keep the set tied. Both teams alternated points to tie at 5 and 6. White sent a soft touch over the net for a kill to give the U.S. the lead at 7-6. Mexico maintained its composure and tied it back up with an attack off a U.S. block at 7-all. A long rally followed by a non-agreed-upon call from the officials gave Mexico a kill and a one-point lead over the U.S. at 8-7. Patch came out swinging with his seventh and eighth kill to bring the U.S. up by two at 10-8. Mexico continued to swing hard from the left side at 11-10 but lost possession with a service error. Mexico fought through a U.S. double block but Patch made-up for the missed point with another rocket from the right. The U.S. took a 3-point lead at 15-12 but Petty's attack went long at 15-13. Olsen answered back with kill down the middle of the court at 16-13. The U.S. got the bench fired up with a triple block from Tarantino, White and Christenson followed by a kill from patch to bring the set to 18-13. A service ace from Mexico followed by a service error gave the U.S. the ball at 19-15. Patch took no prisoners on his twelfth kill to bring the U.S. to 20. A service error from Mexico gave the U.S. its 21st point and a four-point cushion. Henchy subbed in at outside and posted his first point and kill at 23-18 before Mexico called a timeout. A wide attack from Mexico gave the U.S. set point at 24-18. A double block from Olsen and Henchy gave the U.S. the 25-18 second-set win over Mexico.
Mexico again got on the board first with a kill before Olsen responded with a big swing from the middle to tie at 1-1. Miscommunication at the net gave Mexico its second point and a one-point lead early in the third set. White and Olsen formed a wall for a solid double block followed by a Mexico hitting error to give the U.S. the 3-2 lead. White posted a single block to shut-down the Mexico attack and force a timeout at 4-2. Each team charted service errors before White took control with a perfectly placed kill at 6-3. Patch and Tarantino posted a double block followed by a Mexico hitting error at 8-3 and the first technical timeout of the set. Tarantino's block went out of bounds but Henchy responded with a kill at 11-6. Olsen and Henchy got height for a huge block at 12-7. Patch's attack was stopped by a Mexico double block but Olsen responded with his fifth kill at 13-8. Mexico came from the left side for a kill at 14-10 to try and start some rhythem but a Tarantino rocket left the defense with no answer. Shaw subbed in for Patch at opposite. A missed-U.S. block followed by a wide attack off the swing from White brought the set to 15-12. Shaw delivered a ball that led to an uncontrolled dig that Mexico's setter could not get to before the timeout at 16-12. Back to back blocks from the U.S. from Tarantino and Henchy and Tarantino and Shaw respectively forced a Mexico timeout at 18-12. Tarantino undershot the serve for an error at 19-14. Shaw's attack went wide right but a Henchy attack too much for the Mexico libero to handle gave the ball back to the U.S. at 20-15. The U.S. and Mexico then alternated service error's and Henchy went back to serve for the U.S. at 21-16. Henchy's second serve came up short but a netted Mexico attack gave the U.S. a 23-17 advantage. White found the open floor to give the U.S. set and match point at 24-18. A fooled block set the U.S. to a second set and match point at 24-19. Third set and match point came from an uncontrolled dig from the U.S. at 24-20. Shaw ended the set and match with a kill at 25-20.

Here's how RW members rated this race (191 votes).
In short: Needs work, But has potential.Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Dissappointing, expected much more scenic routeDate of review: March 13, 2009
In short: Lots to learn in organisationIn full: Agree with the comments about water stations, you couldn't get water unless you stopped and waited.Thought the start was badly organised with no start line. Also i was disappointed there was no clock.I didn't see a lot of the mile markers but itwould have been a really nice run if it wasn't for the wind.Date of review: March 12, 2009
In short: Nice run, recommended for 1st half marathon, can be windy on the marsh!Date of review: March 10, 2009
In short: Friendly race, well organised - definately one to do again! Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: flat out and back, pot. PB, friendly small crowd.In full: great village feel, mix of club and complete novice runners. good feel with lots of encouragement. bit windy on way back - but if expecting it - not too much of a shock. Kids run a nice touch to start first - means runners who usually miss it could get to cheer the kids on round the green. Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: Flat featureless but your there to race. Possiblity of fast timeIn full: This was a good race but the wind was very hard after the turn round at 6/7 miles. Toilet facilities could be imprved but they were addiquate. If they had a hot bacon sandwich or the like at the race HQ it would have been good. people like myself who have traveled 2.5 or 3 hours could have done with something warm to eat. I didnt see a lot of places to grab food going there or back cross country. Well done though to the organisers and dont give up you will get it right. Just needs a tweek or two. Marshalls thanks tooDate of review: March 9, 2009
In short: Friendly and trying their best to develop the raceIn full: My son loved the children's race. As they were able to run around the village green it was great for sibling supporters to watch and cheer too.We had a great family day out. My 2 and 5 year old are loving the race spirit and enjoy watching everyone exercise and compete.Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: A few teething problems but nothing major, will be back next year.Date of review: March 9, 2009
In short: Nice, flat route with good PB potential, and a lovely sunny day, but the strong wind made the last 4 miles pretty toughIn full: Improved on last year. The issue with the course distance was addressed this year, spot on according to my Garmin. I failed to spot some of the mile markers but was assured by my friend they were there. As we headed back inland after 9 miles the strong wind made the last 4 miles pretty tough, but I still knocked 9 minutes off my PB and 12 minutes improvement over last year. Overall I enjoy this event and look forward to coming back next year.Date of review: March 9, 2009

Many times I feel like you are speaking directly to me. It's amazing how God uses people, even when they don't know it. Thanks
This is so true. Like rally does attract like! I'm working on weeding out the people who are negative and drawing my positive tribe closer.

Republicans Recommend Ending Caucuses After Romney Defeat
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A presidential candidate can't become his or her party's nominee without first battling through the brutal Iowa caucuses.
Yet, a report by the Republican National Committee on Monday recommended the party broaden its base by discouraging caucuses for the allocation of delegates.
The final page of the 97-page "Growth and Opportunity Project" suggests changes to shore up the lengthy nomination process, which proved a pricy hurdle for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.
"The current system is a long, winding, often random road that makes little sense," the report said. "Our party needs to grow its membership, and primaries seem to be a more effective way to do so."
Interviews with many current and former Iowa Republican Party officials suggested that a switch to a primary from the caucuses isn't a welcome idea, but few appeared worried that the party would implement the change.
"The notion here, I don't think, was as much the process as it was the length of the
That confidence comes from a line in the report that said: "Recognizing the traditions of several states that have early nominating contests, the newly organized primaries would begin only after the 'carve-out' states have held their individual elections."
Iowa Republican Party Chairman A.J. Spiker said "carve out" states appear to be well-protected in the new report, but also said a move toward more primaries and a shorter nomination schedule could hurt the process.
"By diminishing or taking away a caucus, you run the risk of injecting too much of an uneducated primary voter and creating the potential for Super PACs to pick who the nominee of the GOP is, going forward," Spiker said. "I think the big thing, though, is a primary system that shrinks the calendar will benefit the best-funded candidate, and there will be repercussions that could be potentially harmful."
Political purists alarmed by the report may find solace in the fact that some of Iowa's Republicans were unaware of the proposal to push for more primary elections.
"I'd like to see the report before I really make a formal comment," said Judy Davidson, chairwoman of the Scott County Republican Party.
The GOP's proposals may be targeting other states that hold caucuses and conventions that haven't run as smoothly as Iowa's.
Republican officials generally viewed caucus turnout in January 2012 as very good, despite the fact that the early part of the GOP race didn't offer a likable candidate to all people.

The W3C offers a number of online training courses including digital marketing, through this portal.
All courses follow a similar format: weekly modules include 'lectures' (i.e. instructive texts), usually with links to further resources, as well as some sort of activity. This might be a quiz or a Tutor Marked Assignment. A discussion forum allows participants to discuss the course with each other and with the instructors. The course is good for those who are looking for teaching jobs abroad
Instructors are always either some of those involved directly with the creation of the relevant W3C standard or others who have a close association.
Participants can expect to spend 2 - 3 hours per week on the course when running.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n°248687 - Open Media Web (OMWeb) .

I just got an M1A from an online retailer, installed it in my guitar and find that when I strum somewhat hard the sound cuts out until I stop playing then comes back after a second or 2. I thought it might be the strapjack so tried it with a different cord and it does the same thing. I then took it out of the guitar and found that the same thing happens if I tap it hard with my finger. The pickup sounds great when I play gently and I'm hoping this isn't normal behaviour. I know there's a moving coil inside, but surely it is made to withstand some pretty strong vibrations or it wouldn't be very useful.
When the sound cuts out, it doesn't actually cut out entirely, but reduces dramatically in volume.
Any suggestions or do I just have faulty pickup? I live somewhat remotely, so I can't just take it back to the store and get a new one. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

Corsair Memory, one of the leading suppliers of high-end memory modules, on Thursday announced its fastest memory modules to date. The new Corsair Dominator GTX is specifically tailored for Intel Core i7/i5 "Lynnfield" central processing units (CPUs) and will not show its extreme capabilities on triple-channel memory sub-systems.
"Corsair Dominator GTX modules are the most tightly-screened, highest-quality and fastest DDR3 memory modules in the world, and we look forward to seeing what the enthusiast and overclocking community can do with these exciting new products," Kevin Conley, vice president of engineering at Corsair.
Corsair Dominator GTX 2GB memory modules are rated to perform at 2250MHz (2.25GHz) with CL8 8-8-24 with 1.65v voltage setting in dual-module configurations with LGA1156 microprocessors. However, once four of such DIMMs are installed, their clock-speed drops to 2133MHz with the same timings. Corsair claims that three Dominator GTX modules will also operate at 2133MHz with CL8 in triple-channel mode with LGA1366 chips, however, in six-DIMM configurations they will only be able to operate at 1800MHz with CL6 6-6-18 timings.
The new Dominator GTX memory modules are also compatible with AMD's AM3 platform, but they hardly bring a lot of advantages for AMD Phenom II microprocessors as Corsair guarantees only 1800MHz clock-speed with CL6 6-6-18 latencies in two module mode and 1750MHz frequency for 4 DIMM configurations.
The Dominator GTX modules use Corsair's DHX+ heatsink and are supplied with extra-tall cooling fins to maximize heat dissipation. The part number for this module is CMGTX2, and it is sold as a single module, allowing enthusiasts to purchase two modules for dual-channel configurations or three modules for triple-channel configurations. For the highest performance and frequency scaling, Corsair recommends using the GT Airflow fan with tall mounting brackets, which is also available from the Corsair Online Store.
The CMGTX2 is screened by hand, in multiple passes, by Corsair's lab in Fremont, California, and availability will be extremely limited, according to the manufacturer. It will be launched exclusively on the Corsair Online Store on December 8, 2009, at 9AM PT, and will be sold on a first come first served basis.
