Only days after the final AOPA Summit in 2013, Cessna dropped the news that the Skycatcher was history. No longer would the GA giant put their significant corporate muscle into developing a following for their C-162, the only aircraft the company produced that was aimed at the light sport market. In keeping with the international flair of the airplane which was designed by an American company and built in China, when Cessna CEO Scott Ernest said the airplane had no future he might as well have used the German expression, "Es ist tot."
The Skycatcher is dead. At least it's dead as far as Cessna is concerned.
That's not the end of the story, however. Not by a long shot. This is Cessna we're talking about after all. The big dog of the general aviation industry. The company by which virtually all other general aircraft manufacturers are measured. There's hardly an airport in North America that doesn't sport a wide a assortment of Cessna aircraft on the ramp, in the hangars, and in the sky above. When the news broke that Cessna was pulling out of the light sport market, tongues started wagging.
Contributing to the overall sense of curiosity in the industry was that the announcement came only weeks prior to the US Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida. That event has been growing and finding new converts for more than a decade now. Unique among aviation events, it's not an airshow and it's not a fly-in. It's a product exposition that puts potential customers in close proximity to the machines they're thinking of buying. Demo flights are undertaken, questions and asked and answered, tires are kicked and aircraft are sold. Yes, aircraft are sold. That's the whole point of the show, really.
So what's a general aviation pilot to think of the light sport market these days? The mixed messages I've just given you are really all the majority of the pilot population has to go on. Cessna's out, and a whole bunch of little known names are in.
Feel free to scratch your head in wonder. You won't be alone, I assure you.
The reality is, Light Sport is alive and well. The aircraft are increasingly finding their way on to flight lines across the continent and the world at large. Those who fly them find the meager fuel burn and the lighter touch of reduced regulatory intrusion to be a beneficial factor in their decision making. Yet still, Light Sport Aircraft and the light sport pilot certificate remain largely misunderstood by the majority of the pilot population. So let's dispel some rumors and get on with the business of growing the industry, shall we?
Light Sport Aircraft are not flimsy, poorly designed, poorly built tin cans. In fact, the ASTM (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) standard for the design and construction of light sports is in many ways superior to the old CAR 3 standard that so many of our legacy aircraft were designed and built under. For the purposes of comparison, it's worth noting that both the Piper Cub and the Cessna 172 were originally CAR 3 certified aircraft.
The sport pilot certificate is not a dumbed down version of the private pilot certificate. For those who wish to verify this claim you need look no farther than an FAA Sport Pilot PTS and compare it to an FAA Private Pilot PTS. Because the sport pilot is prohibited from flying at night or in instrument conditions, there are fewer tasks for the sport pilot to perform during their practical test – but the completion standards for every task that is common to both certificates is identical. Yes, identical. A short field landing for a sport pilot applicant is evaluated using the exact same criteria and tolerances required of a private pilot applicant.
Light Sport Aircraft do not all employ unreliable 2-stroke engines. In fact the most popular engine on the market today is the Rotax 912 family of powerplants. They've proven to be tough, reliable, fuel efficient, and capable of running just fine on unleaded auto fuel. Mogas. For those who are unfamiliar with the terms, that means the Rotax burns fewer gallons per hour while using less expensive fuel than the more traditional aircraft engines in the 80 – 100 horsepower range. Unleaded fuel. We can assume the EPA is pleased with this development.
Certificated flight instructors with an airplane rating are perfectly legal to instruct sport pilot students, and perform flight reviews for sport pilots. In fact a review of sport pilot privileges and limitations are a requirement of the FIRC (Flight Instructor Refresher Course) designed to bring CFIs up to speed on regulatory changes and instructional insights every two years.
Don't let misconceptions, misunderstandings, and erroneous assumptions color your perception of what Light Sport is, and what it isn't. Yes, Cessna got out of the Light Sport Aircraft business. That is no more relevant than it would be to assume that small, fuel efficient cares would disappear from the roads because Volkswagen stopped building or importing air-cooled Beetles into the United States in the mid-1970s. The Beetle still exists of course, in an alternate form. And there's no guarantee Cessna won't see a new opportunity to enter the LSA market somewhere down the road. In the meantime there are numerous manufacturers, both American and foreign, that are producing some excellent aircraft that fit well into the Light Sport Aircraft market. And pilots are transitioning into sport pilot at an encouraging rate, whether they're new to aviation and logging their first PIC time, or they come from the cockpit of a transport category aircraft and are facing the reality of paying their own fuel bill for the first time in their lives.
Don't count Light Sport Aircraft out. Don't even consider the category to have the sniffles. LSAs were sold at the Expo in Sebring this year, as they do every year. The industry might in fact be considerably healthier and more viable than you ever dreamed. Truly!
The opinions expressed by the bloggers do not reflect AOPA's position on any topic.

Here's another slightly remixed track from the PTP album. This one's from the Stranglehold promo/video. At 3:45 there's an added sax that isn't on the album/single version. Watch the boy when he does his solo onstage. It's only for a few seconds so listen closely. The video's a bit on the corny side.
Does anyone know if these guys in the band are musicians or hired actors?

Topic: Simply update a table with AJAX. How?
I'm wanting to update a DB table by simply clicking a link.
I want to be able to click a link "Toggle" and have it perform the following function:
def toggle_completed
app_edit = Appointment.find(params[:id])
if app_edit.completed == 0
app_edit.completed = 1
app_edit.completed = 0
Currently, I am using the following code to generate the AJAX link:
<%= link_to '(Toggle)', {:controller => 'appointments', :action => 'update', :id => appointment.id}, :remote => true %>
Obviously it doesn't work, but I'm not sure what to do? I tried changing the :action to 'toggle_completed', but that requires me to update my routes. It's an extra step I would like to avoid, but is that the only way to do what I want it to do?

Christmas - Pics and Presents!
I had a great x-mas with the fam...even my parents' devil dog chihuahua that wants to attack me every 5 minutes. So here are some holiday pics of the fam and my best friends as well as the boyfriend...first christmas with the family. My mom even put up a stocking for him, awwww.
Me and my two best friends. We've known each other since elementary school in Orlando and are still best friends all living in Atlanta together :), the one on the left Alex was my roommate all throughout College and still is to this day. The one on the right, Saiesha, lives in the apartment next door. BFF!
Devil Dog aka Badger
Family pic with my parents and my older bro Rey
My BF Mike spending his first christmas with me and my fam...it's hard core yall!
My bro and two old filipino family friends Marvin and Neil.
Me and my baby :)
Here's this cute Red Makeup Case my mom got me from Sears. She's so supportive of my new habit. I was wary of the makeup b/c it was a random no name brand, but I liked the case. I'm going to throw away the lipglosses cuz they suck...and the nail polish too. However, I swatched some of the e/s and the darker ones came out nicely pigmented, so yay! Andddd they're the same size as the MAC pans, woo hoo! I'm going to get a palette to put them in. When you open the lid, the trays pull out at the same time automatically, pretty nifty eh? She also got me a big pot and money for a vacuum, lol, such a mom.
Yay, my brother got me MAC! He got me paint pot in indianwood and lucky jade and sharkskin shadesticks :)
My boyfriend and I decided to only bring one present for each of us to open for each other in Orlando and then open the rest up the next day in Atlanta when we flew back. He was trying to trick me, telling me he got me clothes...which as many of yall know, most guys know nothing about sizing and style. So he filled a box with plastic so it seemed like clothes but it was actually a MAC palette! I thought it was empty cuz I needed an empty one but when I opened it up it was filled with eyeshadow...some of them were on my list and some weren't. I know he went to the MAC store and asked for help. I was very impressed! He's so supportive...
Up close pic of the palette with the colors he chose...I'm set now when it comes to netural colors, he he.
When we got home we opened the rest of the presents and he hooked me up! He's a good boy, paying attention to what I say I NEED over and over...blah blah, lol. He also snuck into my makeup journal I keep to find my personal makeup wish list.
-fix + (going to have to exchange it cuz I already bought it, lol, he says he can never get me presents cuz i always run and get them myself)
-fast response eye cream and MAC face lotion
-Shadesticks in sharkskin and lucky jade (whoops my bro already got me this, going to have to exchange)
-More eyeshadows: shimmermoss and orange (going to have to exchange orange cuz i picked it up in the pro store!)
-he got me my HG Revlon colorstay liquid liner in black and brown
-telescopic mascara - i've been dying to try this after Nessa mentioned it on her blog
-MAC 187 brush yay! I got duped on ebay and got the fake one that sucks so now i have the real one :)
-lancome brush set I saw in North Carolina, he went during a "bathroom break" during our real estate class and bought it...all this after convincing me I shoudn't buy it, lol.
-metal-x eyeshadow, the gold one- now I can finally get in on the hype!
-paint in bare canvas-i'm a late arriver to the paints, just discovered how great they are, especially as bases!
My BF wearing the new hat I got him...ain't he cute? I also got him a bunch of cute clothes since I like to dress him, lol.

March 5-7, 2014
Workshop at the annual conference of the DGfS, University of Marburg
Invited Speakers:
Ekkehard König (FRIAS)
Giuliana Giusti (Venice)
Demonstratives, as one of the few closed class categories universally present in language, are of central interest to linguistic theory. They raise important questions concerning their categorial status, their inherent featural make-up, their multi-functionality and distribution, as well as the grammaticalization processes they can take part in (cf. Diessel 2006, Himmelmann 1997). Furthermore, the study of demonstratives can shed light on the hierarchical organization of clause structure, specifically on the nominal domain and the complementizer domain (cf. Alexiadou, Haegeman & Stavrou 2007).
The main goal of this workshop is to create a platform to stimulate a structured discussion on these issues regarding the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of demonstratives. Among the many outstanding questions we hope to address are the following:
(i) Feature specification; e.g. What is the exact semantic/pragmatic and morphosyntactic feature specification of demonstratives wrt. definiteness/specificity, deixis (distal/ proximal), anaphoricity, etc.? To what extent can the features of demonstratives be underspecified?
(ii) Multi-functionality and distribution; e.g. How do we account for the use of demonstratives as (relative) pronouns, complementizers, or topic markers? Are they the same lexical items? What is the exact contribution of demonstratives in the functional part of the nominal and clausal domain?
(iii) Grammaticalization; e.g. the loss of deixis and/or anaphoricity is often assumed to play a role in the grammaticalization process from demonstratives to definite articles (cf. Oubouzar 1992, Demske 2001). Can we describe the relevant features in more detail within more fine grained models of grammaticalization contexts and/or based on historical corpora?

DeMaio continues giveaway to hotelier donors
Carl DeMaio has spent months pushing for special rules to apply to rich downtown hoteliers, and the hypocrisy continues tying him in knots. On the one hand he talks a good game about transparency, accountability and the right for the public to vote on policy. On the other, he's pushed for a possibly illegal special district of hoteliers, pushed to let them tax the public with no public input, and led the charge to privatize control of the Convention Center. And now it's getting worse.
In a recent series, Voice of San Diego has highlighted yet another problem in the whole process, especially given DeMaio's lip service about transparency and public accountability. It turns out, when hoteliers hold their special vote, nobody will know how the votes are divided up. Since the council set things up so that the votes are divided up based on how much business the hotels have been doing, the public isn't allowed to know who gets how many votes. Because nobody's allowed to know how they're divided up, it's unlikely that it's possible for anyone to independently monitor or review the results.
Add it all up and, if they wanted, hoteliers could simply invent the election results and the public might never know. Even though (or maybe specifically because) voters were asked twice if they want this tax and twice said no, DeMaio has spent months doing flips and twists to hand over as much money and power as possible to rich downtown hoteliers.
Not only has DeMaio decided that rich corporations should get to impose taxes on the public, but he actually pushed successfully to pay them to impose taxes on the public. Now, if hoteliers approve the tax, it turns out that the public will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes directly to giant corporations with no say in the matter and maybe without even knowing if the hotelier vote was conducted honestly.
Meanwhile, DeMaio continues the pretense that he is in favor of public input and accountability, about transparency, and about voters having a say over how their money is spent. Just hoping nobody notices that what he actually does is the polar opposite. Of course, hoteliers have been generous with their campaign contributions to DeMaio, who has said he "owes" his donors. But maybe Carl DeMaio and his ego just want the public to be able to see him taking their money and giving it to corporations?
Either way, another reminder of what Carl DeMaio thinks your taxes are for.

My friend Sara lost her dear Mom, Josephine quite recently. I did not personally know her Mom, but I know she made many beautiful quilts and other items for her children and grandchildren, and was a talented lady all the way around... very much like Sara. I had been planning on making a collage quilt for Ms. Sara as part of my 'girlfriend series' and I had made this 'background' prior to Sara's Mom passing. As I began to prepare to quilt this collage and add the fabric heart elements, God gave me these inspiration, as I thought and prayed about Sara and her Mom. And these three words came to mind:
Love. Hope. Healing.
"A Healing Heart for Sara"
My glaze pens came in handy to draw those tiny little hearts and without having to cut tiny bits of fabric. I then turned to the green pen for a bit of a leaf shape. If you haven't tried them, they are very cool. They dry shiny and somewhat dimensional.
I chose to outline the delicate little purple hearts in white thread (but not the leaves). I really liked how they stand out.
A bit of metallic paint to highlight. Some angelina fibers, free motioned to quilt them down. Then some Superior Rainbow tri-lobal polyesters for more bright, interesting change of colors.
To finish off the quilt, I added a purple, white-dotted batik on three edges. i thought it tied in with the white quilting thread, yet blending with the colors of the quilt just enough. The bottom edge is finished with twisted yarns and metallic threads, then they were free motioned in a zig-zag to attach. The quilt also has curvy edges.
Sara, may you find comfort and peace in this time of grieving... and may God continue to hold you in the palm of his hand, and may you know the never-ending love and hope of Jesus as endless as the endearing and sacrificial love of your Mom for you. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Soccer - Boys Varsity
During the 1960s and 1970s, Coach Jackman Stewart made Berkshire one of the premier soccer programs in New England. As a fitting tribute to his remarkable career at Berkshire, the New England Prep School Soccer Association has named the New England Class A Championship Trophy, the Stewart Cup, in his honor. The proud winning tradition and passion for the game of soccer that Jackman Stewart cultivated in his players has remained a trademark of Berkshire Soccer over the years and continues today. Berkshire annually competes at the championship level, winning the Class A title in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 while earning the No. 1 ranking among the nation's prep schools.
All of the coaches in the program remain committed to the development of each player and the success of each of the three teams in the boys' program. With daily training sessions, a competitive match schedule, and an overall commitment to excellence, Berkshire has been able to remain a leader in the New England Prep School Soccer Association. In preparation for each season, Berkshire takes a preseason trip, during which the players not only get a full soccer experience but also a valuable cultural experience. In recent years the team has taken trips to England, Germany, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Zambia and to various location throughout the USA.

I made 14 pies last night for a big party. These were the best yet. I really think I'm pretty much all the way home on the dough. My sauce needs work and Cheese in Atlanta is sub par. But these were minor because the crust was so amazing. Lately I've been bringing the temp down from 825 to about 775. Part of this was due to the oven cooling from making so many pies. But this dough does seem to come out a little better slightly cooler. I may push it back up to 800, I may have gone too low.Steve, you mentioned linking to my web page on your home page. I'm a little worried about mentioning breaking my oven because of the liability. But maybe we can do something different. I'll think about it.Jeff

Firefox OS Launches in Brazil & Germany, Your Name on the Mozillians Monument and more…
about:mozilla is a round-up of news and contribution opportunities. Here's what's happening this week.
Firefox OS Launches in Brazil and Germany
In the last few weeks, we have successfully launched the very first Firefox OS smartphones in Spain, Colombia, Venezuela and in Poland. Now, shortly after the release of a major update with new features, we have kicked off the launch in the next two countries, Brazil and Germany.
We are happy to announce that Congstar now offers the Alcatel One Touch Fire in Germany. Being the very first smartphone in Germany that exclusively relies upon open web technologies, it combines all features that you would expect: being able to make phone calls, send text messages, e-mails, take photos and more. Those are the exact same things the new LG Fireweb can do – it's sold by Vivo in Brazil and comes with a 4 inch screen, a camera and the much-praised Firefox Marketplace where you can not only just download useful apps and games, but also Portuguese newspapers, dictionaries and magazines.
Find out more about the launch in Brazil and the upcoming countries or read the press release in German.
Your Name on the Mozillians Monument in San Francisco
Since 1998, when Mozilla was brought to life, hundreds of people have helped us in making the web more open. Back then, you were able to write down the names of all contributors onto a single sheet of paper. about:credits, an online list of people who have contributed to this project, has collected thousands of names over the last few years and now it's time to show it to the world.
We're working on constructing a 14 foot (4m) monument in front of our new space in San Francisco. On this structure, we want to have the names of every Mozillian including you. If you are a current or past contributor and want your name to be on it as well, let us know!
Check out the concept photos and get to know how to have your name etched on the structure.
Highlights From the Mozilla Summit 2013
The Mozilla Summit 2013 was an assembly of all Mozillians coming together for three days in three different locations to connect and get inspired. One of the highlights of the was definitely the dinner party on Friday, followed by our lovely mascot doing some crowd surfing. While the Mozillians in Santa Clara were jamming to the probably best song ever and showing off their dancing skills, the Mozillians in Brussels proved that they were just as good when it comes to singing:
When the karaoke party reached its peak, more than twenty people were jumping around on stage singing Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as the others cheered. The coolest (pun intended) activity however was the hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto – where the desktop team played against the mobile team in an exciting match.
Discover more great moments on Flickr or, if you attended the Summit, tell us about your experiences.
Helping 58,000 People Teach and Learn the Web in Three Months
About four months ago, we kicked off our global Maker Party that invited you to make something amazing on the Web. Nearly 60,000 people met up at over 1,600 events around the world to share their skills, make and break things on the Internet. Using helpful tools like Thimble, which allows you to create and remix websites as easy as possible, and the most popular tool Popcorn Maker, they have created tens of thousands webpages and videos. But although this year's Maker Party is over, it's never too late to connect with other Web enthusiasts to collaborate and have fun – regardless of your skill levels.
Be a Webmaker too and how joyful the Maker Party was.
Where is Mozilla?

Bittersweet missionMonday, April 20th, 2009
I have destinations. I also have missions. One is to fly my children to college visits. Daughter Maddie, a high-school junior, is busily checking out colleges. She did the Boston run in the fall with her dad. On Friday it was my turn to take her to Philadelphia.
We had a perfect flight Friday morning out of Frederick Municipal to Wings Field. (You can read a lot more about this historic airport–the birthplace of AOPA–in Julie Walker's article in the May issue of AOPA Pilot.)
What would have taken three hours by car was compressed into about a one-hour flight. Hertz was only too glad to drop off a rental car at Wings. We stayed overnight so that we could enjoy the city. And on the way home Saturday, as the Archer bumped its way to 4,500 feet amid up- and downdrafts, my daughter said, "I had fun this weekend. " Then she fell asleep. High praise indeed, coming from a teenager. I'll take it, along with any opportunity to spend some quality time with my daughter before she heads off to new adventures.

Announcing The #IBlameRil Contest! With Loot Card Prizes!3
Greetings Folks!
You have of course noticed that we haven't posted a show in the last 2 weeks. Naturally, We Blame Ril (that'd be me).
Work has been absolutely, obnoxiously, and ridiculously busy, extending my already ludicrous hours even further, wearing me out considerably, and rendering me near comatose by the time I actually leave the office. Add to that my decent into zombification – thanks to the gentleman I work with who is a great guy but is Patient Zero in the inevitable zombie apocalypse AND a close-talker.
Those two factors combine to form "Super-Useless-Ril" - unable to leap tall buildings in any number of bounds, keep his eyes open once recording time comes around, or speak with any semblance of the English language. Hence, no show recordings these past 2 weeks.
However YOU, yes YOU can take advantage of my plague ridden, exhausted state by entering into our contest - The #IBlameRil Contest!
"How do I enter?" you might ask. It's easy! You can leave a comment on this post on our website (theoverlores.com), like and comment on this post on our Facebook page (facebook.com/theoverlores), +1 and comment on this post on our Google+ page (gplus.to/theoverlores), or send us message on Twitter (@TheOverLores) with the hash tag #IBlameRil.
In your comment or your tweet simply list something that has happened in World of Warcraft either to you or to a friend or guildie, or even make up a circumstance, that you blame Ril (me) for. Be creative! The most creative response will win a Sandbox Tiger loot card!! We will then chose two random responses, one of which will receive the Paint Bomb loot card, and the other the Slash Dance loot card.
Contest ends September 25th (I wonder why I picked that date?) after which the judging will take place, and loot codes will be sent via email, DM, Facebook message, G+ message, etc. within a week. Know that no priority or favored status is assigned to any of the means of entering, all entries will go into the same pool. Multiple entries, ie. entering at each of the contest locations, is absoultely allowed, and each entry will enter into the mix for the random response prizes, even if it is the same moment you are blaming Ril for, so feel free to enter your terrible happenstance that you blame Ril for on each platform!
PS. While on these platforms, make sure to subscribe to, follow, circle, like, the show's page so that you can receive future info about audio and video shows being posted, contests, questions for the audience, etc.!!

The Society for Economic Botany
Fostering research and education on the past, present, and future uses of plants by people.
President's Update
March 24, 2014
Dear Friends,
This year is historic for Society for Economic Botany. It is the first time that we will meet jointly with the Society of Ethnobiology as well as at the home of the Cherokee Nation. It is an opportunity to reflect individually and collectively on the Society´s interest and responsibilities with respect to people and plant relationships. At our 55th Annual Meeting, those members who have not been associated with Society of Ethnobiology can acquaint themselves with new people and perspectives through personal interactions, oral presentations, posters, workshops, and field trips within the sphere of Native America.
Being a founding member of SofE, I remember the energizing environment at Prescott College (Prescott, Arizona) where we first met in 1978. The American Southwest was a powerful stimulant that combined people, plants and animals across time as represented by its split-twig zoomorphic figurine made from coppiced twigs of fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica). Without its own journal, we published the first papers in volume 44 (numbers 2 & 3) of Kiva (Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History). Some of us were also members of SEB. We wondered how the academic fields of Economic Botany and Ethnobiology would interact. Most of us were in school (or recently graduated) and struggling to survive in an academic world that did not understand our aspirations to span different disciplines, to synergize the energies derived from various cultures, and to advocate respect for Humankind and Nature. Some of us were new members of SEB with a focus on studying the past, present, and future uses of plants by people. We asked ourselves: Are we duplicating efforts? Is there a place and need for two societies dealing with plants and people? Obviously SofE is more diversified by including animals as well as members of the plant and fungi kingdoms that we emphasize in SEB.
Now is the time to REGISTER for "The Energy of People, Places, and Life" the joint conference taking place in Cherokee from May 11-15, 2014. Over 130 papers, several films, and 50 posters are scheduled for Monday through Wednesday. CLICK HERE to view the 2014 Conference Sessions, posters and abstracts. Read a bit more about the plans for our annual conference on our WEB SITE. There are some fantastic field trips, too!

Greetings to you all!
Time is flying, and it is difficult to believe that our Society's meeting in Plymouth, England is now two months past. The 160 attendees at the 2013 conference made for a collegial and international exchange of ideas and research. I would like to personally extend a big thank you to the conference organizer Ian Martin and Past President Gail Wagner for their tireless work to put on such a successful meeting. Thank you!
Our 54th annual conference at Plymouth University was memorable in many ways.
We are excited to announce the 55th SEB annual meeting and the first joint conference between the Society for Economic Botany (SEB) and the Society of Ethnobiology(SoE) in Cherokee, North Carolina, from May 11-14, 2014. Cherokee, the home of theEastern Band of Cherokee Indians, is adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in western North Carolina. We encourage people to take this opportunity to stay and explore this beautiful area. More information on meeting plans and the area can be found on our web site.
Dedicated members are the core of any society, and all of you have for a long time supported SEB's work and mission. SEB has strengthened its international profile during the last few years, and I am very happy to report that the number of members from outside the US is steadily increasing. Our journal's Impact Factor has risen steadily since 2005, and the latest figure is our highest to date - 1.925. We also have actively been supporting botanical education efforts through the Open Science Network, PlantingScience, and now the launch of EconBotEd.
EconBotEd Digital Library: A New Resource
The Society for Economic Botany is what its members make of it, so I encourage you to get involved: volunteer for a committee, submit news and notices to the newsletter, make suggestions for what you'd like to see at the conference, and make yourself heard. It won't be long and we will begin membership renewal season for 2014. I know that when the call goes out for renewal, that you will all respond quickly. Pleasecontinue to be ambassadors for our Society by encouraging students and other colleagues around the world to join us in our mission.
Best wishes, on behalf of SEB President, Robert Bye
Bill Dahl, Executive Director
Society for Economic Botany

As I reported via Twitter late last week, we encountered an issue that got some of our mail delivery delayed by about a day and a half. I'll explain more about what happened as I believe in openness on these matters, and also the experience has educational content for others.
Our mail server doesn't have direct external interaction, it's shielded by two relays that handle both the inbound MX and the outbound queue. This setup works remarkably well in terms of exposure to spam and other malicious activity. As previously discussed, it appears that it's more difficult to make mail server infra more resilient without expending lots more time/effort and infrastructure expenditure. Just because of the way the common tools for mail delivery and imap are built, having two or more of each in a semi-active setup gets quite complex. Complexity is in itself a risk so it has to be considered in relation to the costs and risks of the alternatives.
When our mail server becomes unavailable, incoming mail is queued, and we have backups so no mail is actually lost. The cost is the time and effort involved in getting a full replacement server up and running from a backup. That can be optimised/prepared to a point, but mail is still a lot more data than most other web infrastructure so shuffling that data around just takes a while. Some outbound queues from our online services (for instance our client services system Redmine) goes straight to the relays so there is less impact there. Apart from backups elsewhere, have redundancy for the mailserver: an identical instance on a server in the same DC (those servers are our own).
So what happened last week? Our servers resided in a rack which was leased from the DC by another company through which we "sublet" the rack space, connection and bandwidth. This is a common scenario, as small businesses don't generally need a full rack and datacentres prefer dealing with fewer/bigger clients and set their pricing accordingly. The intermediate company became unavailable which put our servers in a temporary legal limbo. The DC only gives access to the primary lessor of the rack, so us asking for access to move our servers wasn't straightforward. Of course we had documentation to back up our assertion as to which equipment was ours, but as you can imagine that legal avenue takes longer to resolve – fortunately the owner of the intermediate company communicated well with the operations manager at the DC and that's how we were able to retrieve our gear relatively quickly.
We're still in the same DC, but are now a direct client of the DC in a shared rack. That may appear odd in the context of what I wrote before, but since we first moved there several years ago the DC has improved their infrastructure management to the point where servicing smaller clients is not a resource drain and thus they have sensible plans available. That's brilliant given the market, but it's actually quite unusual – commonly companies aim for bigger clients rather than recognising an opportunity to server small clients.
While this was going on we were of course working on a separate replacement mailserver, built from the backups. Since normally we'd have a replacement server already set up, the "build from scratch using backups" is a slower path. As it turned out, we got our servers back online around the same time we had our replacement ready, and for various reasons it was easier to just use the original servers at that point.
From this story you can work out several useful lessons, remembering that it's always a trade-off. At some point the cost of being able to mitigate a particular scenario is so high that it's not worthwhile. You just have to plan for several most common possibilities, with a slower recovery from backup as the last resort.
There's also another piece of information which is highly relevant for Australian businesses, and that's the Australian Personal Property Securities Register. Legislation for this system was enacted in 2009, the scheme is only since January 2012 and there's a two-year transitional period. Remember how "posession is 9/10ths of the law" ? Well, if you ignore PPS it's now 10/10ths. It is the primary and only register and reference for ownership of items (and data!) that are in care of another legal entity. So we own some servers, that reside in a rack of another company in a DC. We register ourselves, and then our servers (short description and serial numbers and such) and associated data content with PPS, against both the intermediate company (which had legal charge over the rack they reside in) and the hosting company (where the items physically reside). This way, we have a claim that indeed the stuff is ours, but also since the PPS is the only register we have ensure that noone else (inadvertently or even maliciously) claims to own something that's actually ours. If you have a similar situation (and remember that data is as important as physical items!) you want to register it with PPS. The registration process is somewhat convoluted, but it is free – searches cost. Remember IANAL (I am not a lawyer) so do your research and get appropriate legal advice. If you're not in Australia, other similar legislation may apply and you'll want to check to make sure you're safe.

I'm having a problem with an isvalid? unit test that is failing. How do I find out the reason that it's invalid.
I've tried doing:

where task is the thing I think is causing the problem, but no matter what I put instead of task I can't seem to find out what is invalid.

The Lowland Hornpipe
hornpipe and diddle
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 28 January 2012 11:41
I've been planning to say something about the hornpipe, but till now haven't been able to figure out where to start.I'm not going to say much about the history; if you're interested, my thoughts are on this site HERE and you can here performances of the early hornpipes on my Youtube channel.
What I want to do here is revisit the suggestion I made in that essay that the triple time hornpipes that appear in the Lowland sources cna be divided into two groups, which I then called 'Lancashire' and @border', thought I would probably now opt ofr the latter being 'Lowland'. These groups are well-demonstrated by the tune 'Welcome HOme My Dearie'.
Here is Rook's verision: I'm sorry, it's written here in Aminor/G; you'd need to transpose it up a tone to play on an A chanter - I will try and get a version in A uploaded, but the point I will make about the form of the tune should be clear
and here's my unpolished performance of this
Here is Neil Stewart's 1761 version:[sorry, this one's in D]
An here's my performance of this [equally unpolished - note the ongoing struggle to get those quaver runs even]]
I've approached both these tunes in these performance in much the same way, which I think is probably the standard 'dird' for these 3/2 tunes today.- three emphatic beats to the bar. But notice that Rook gives his version a 3/4 time signature; there is a clue here to the possibility of playing tunes of this format in a different way, and it is this possibility that lead me to divide these tunes into two groups; Tunes that have Rook's structure, and there are a number, all of which use the same short theme in some inter=val or other - seem to want to pplay rather differently, with an emphasis on the first beat, a suppressed second beat and a slight emphasis on the third beat, leading into the first beat of the next bar. A classic example of this kind of dird is the well-known Northumbrian song 'Dance to thee Daddie'; Here's my version of Rook's setting played this way [as unpolshed as ever]
And then, just as I've tidied this classification up, along comes WIlliam Vickers with this version:
which is essentially the Stewart tune played in the Rook setting ; here's what I can make of it at present. I think it could well go quicker, and would then fit in the 'Lowland' category, a form of 3/4 tune which comes closer to a mazurka than any other 3/4 format. Which brings me to the Lowland Mazurka ...

Turning a blind eye to wind farms
It is illegal to kill certain endangered animals, including golden eagles. If you get caught doing so, even accidentally, the federal government will punish you with stiff fines.
That is, unless you are the Shiloh IV Wind Project LLC in California. If you are that firm, no problem.
At the same time they are doing all in their power to shut down the coal-fired power plants that provide cheap electricity to tens of millions of Americans, President Barack Obama and others in his administration are giving every break in the book to operators of "alternative" energy companies.
And when there are not enough breaks in the book, the Obama administration will invent new ones.
It was revealed several months ago that the government was not enforcing laws meant to protect endangered animals when they were broken by wind energy farms. That is despite the fact enormous numbers of protected birds are killed by wind turbine blades every year.
Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is making it official. It has granted Shiloh IV a permit allowing the facility to kill as many as five golden eagles during the next five years.
Fish and Wildlife Service Director Daniel Ashe said the move will encourage development of renewable energy. And, he added, it will be good for golden eagles in the long run, because Shiloh IV is required to take steps to limit bird kills.
Incredible. By that logic, operators of coal-fired power plants ought to be exempt from the Environmental Protection Agency's new, draconian rules if the utilities promise to do what they can to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
No such offer has been made by the Obama administration, of course. And while billions of dollars are being flushed down the government toilet in subsidies to "alternative" energy companies, funding for clean coal research has been slashed.

I can not use traditional deodorants because of skin reaction. Lavilin works great and doesn't bother my skin.
Lavilin is great!
Posted by Reviewer2534564 on Mar 04, 2007
Several years ago I had to quit wearing regular deodorant--my underarms broke out in a rash that I could not get cleared up as long as I continued to wear regular deodorant. I read an article about Lavilin and tried it. It was great! No rash, no odor, and I only use it once or twice a week. Absolutely the best and I will continue using it always.
The only underarm deodorant to use.
Posted by Reviewer1032424 on Jun 15, 2008
We have been using this product for 15 years. We could never be without it. We go six to seven days without worries. No staining of garments and no aluminum to worry about. The mere thought of having to go back to the roll-on stuff is frightening. The other thing to note is iHerb has the best price!!

I have used this product for 15 years. I use it once a week. Before I found this product, I threw away blouses and dresses that I ruined with stains and smells. I never thought I would be normal until I found this easy to use product.
You need to give this 3 days to work.
Posted by Reviewer2205214 on May 07, 2009
Don't give up. It takes about three days for it to start to be effective. I can only go about 4 days without re-using it - but it works very well - surprising.

Anybody seen "Moneyball"?
IMHO, one of the best flicks of the year, so far. Probably the quietest, most cerebral baseball movie ever--more about personalities and the economics of the sport. But the Oakland Athletics' 20-game winning streak in 2002 and Billy Beane's Sabremetrics-based philosophy also got plenty of screen time.
Maybe I'm biased, but Mark Shapiro comes off as a Billy Beane tool, trading Ricardo Rincon to the A's at mid-season. Rincon had a 4.79 ERA for the Tribe that season, but had a 3.10 ERA and a 0.689 WHIP for the A's. Halle Berry's ex (David Justice/Stephen Bishop) also played a prominent role.
Anyway, Brad Pitt as Beane was impressive, and I'm not generally a Pitt fan. The Princess Bride (Robin Wright) was only onscreen for about two minutes (what a waste).

There was in interesting claim in a documentary dealing with the animals of Australia. Why can't kangaroos protect themselves from being killed on the highways by large transport vehicles? The preferred answer to this question has been provided, with difficulty, by the theory of evolution. Again, with no proof, a totally imaginary scenario has been devised and presented as a scientific fact. According to this explanation, Kangaroos has not had enough time to develop a defense mechanism against large vehicles. That is, the kangaroos' problem is lack of time.
Such claims, as we have explained many times before on this site, are fairy tales with absolutely no scientific foundation. Evolutionists explain every biological instance in nature by inventing tales in conformity with their blindly accepted theory. If kangaroos were able to escape the large transport vehicles, evolutionists would attribute this to animals' development of a very good reflex in the course of evolution. The attitude of certainty displayed by evolutionists in such articles and documentaries should not fool anyone; the only reason for their certainty is dogmatism. The truth is that there is no proof for the development of kangaroos or any other species through evolution.
The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by well-known publishing institutions in different European countries have revealed a major drop in the numbers of people believing in Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe. >>
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth.
When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)

Best Magnesium Capsules.
Posted by 5625657342130073188 on Oct 22, 2014
We have been trying to up our magnesium after showing some signs of deficiency. We love that this does not contain silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate! I think it is worth the extra cost to have a high quality product without unwanted fillers. We use this with MAGNESIUM OIL SPRAY!! Magnesium oil spray has made a HUGE difference, I think after the bottles of this are used up, we will stick to topical magnesium oil as our only mag supplement. We have read that magnesium oil does in weeks what magnesium capsules does in months. ..........Click YES if this was helpful and feel welcome to read my other reviews
no magnesium stearate
Posted by aestheticmedicalreviews on Aug 14, 2013
Works well with vitamin d and K2 - has removed my chocolate cravings which i presume was due to magnesium defficiency. Is helping to fix my osteoporosis/arthritis. After a few weeks of this i can finally also take calcium supplements without pain. Causes no stomach upset and best of all no nasty magnesium stearate. I take this before bed.
Posted by 4733885977040983541 on Feb 10, 2014
This is my favorite magnesium, if I mix with orange juice, my children take it without any complain. I give it with P5P. The capsules doesn't contain any fillers and it has much better taste (sour) then magnesium glycinate (which is so disgusting).
Magnesium essential mineral

I was looking for a magnesium malate with as few fillers as possible. This one didn't contain Stearic Acid or Magnesium Stearate, so I tried this brand.
Better Sleep
Posted by 4612120995713906551 on May 05, 2016
I take one of these at night with a Calcium-Magnesium Citramate from Thorne for a much better quality sleep. Really happy with it.
Great product with high levels og malic acid.
Posted by 5543131721947034065 on Jun 10, 2016
I use it for detoxifying aluminium. I can feel that it is a great product, with high levels of malic acid. I am recommending it to friends and clients.
Magnesium Malate
Posted by karishma on Sep 30, 2015
This helps me with aches and pain and soothes muscles. What's also good is that it does not contain magnesium stearate or stearic acid.
Posted by aaronash on Dec 13, 2015
The best way to absorb magnesium is topically, but it's certainly good to send some through your system internally to keep things moving. If you're not having regular bowel movements, this will help that happen. I was pretty clogged up, so it takes me 4-5 capsules before I notice any difference.
Mag Malate Renew is a Great Product!
Posted by BeckySue on Mar 17, 2015
Appreciate that this Mag Malate Renew is a fully reacted magnesium malate. It provides the essential mineral magnesium along with malic acid. This dietary supplement is also 100% vegetarian.

Now, alas, out of print. However the full text of the book is available here:
The unusual aspect of the book is that it is meant to be executed as well as read. Rather than merely presenting an abstract description of each implementation technique, we present the code for a complete working prototype of each major method, and then work through a series of improvements to it. All of the code is available in machine-readable form.
Appendix B contains a selection of Core-language programs for use as test programs thoughout the book.
The main body of the book consists of four distinct implementations of the Core language.
The machine interpreter simulates the execution of the compiled program. In each case the interpreter is modelled as a state transition system so that there is a very clear connection between the machine interpreter and a `real' implementation.
One important way in which the Core language is restrictive is in its lack of local function definitions. There is a well-known transformation, called lambda lifting, which turns local function definitions into global ones, thus enabling local function definitions to be written freely and transformed out later. In Chapter 6 we develop a suitable lambda lifter. This chapter is more than just a re-presentation of standard material. Full laziness is a property of functional programs which had previously been seen as inseparable from lambda lifting. In Chapter 6 we show that they are in fact quite distinct, and show how to implement full laziness in a separate pass from lambda lifting.

My daughter, age 2 1/2, sleeps in her own bed (always has more or less, although we never did cry-it-out), and does great at night but all of a sudden has stopped sleeping at naptime. We have also had behavioral struggles with independence. I am struggling to figure out how to work with her rather than try to control her but it is not an easy process! Anyway, I don't know what is going on with naptime- whether she's done with it or just enjoying the new discovery that she can stay awake if she wants to. I am trying to keep her in her room for quiet time, which went okay last week, but now it is getting harder and harder. When she was younger I used to lay down with her when she went through phases where she didn't want to fall asleep on her own, and then leave when she was asleep, but now she won't even sleep if I am there. This week she seems sad and lonely about me leaving, but if I stay there is no rest for anyone because she is constantly moving and talking. I really need a little time to myself. She is so energetic and personable that she constantly wants to interact with me all day. If I don't get that time to myself I don't know what to do! Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences that you can share? How do other people do quiet time with older toddlers and preschoolers? How do you get any time to yourself? I could understand when she was a newborn that I had to deal with being with her every second, but that passes within months. Also, she is only 2 1/2- shouldn't she still be napping? What do I do about helping her to sleep if she still needs it? How do I know if she still needs it?
No announcement yet.
Toddler nap/quiet time questions

Toddler nap/quiet time questionsTags: None
I wonder what would happen if you just changed locations.
When both my kids were that age, quiet time moved to the living room couch. I turned on calming music, and firmly established the rules for quiet time - be quiet, be still, close your eyes. Every day before quiet time, we said those three rules.
"What are the rules for quiet time?"
Then the toddler and I would lay down on the couch together. If the rules were followed, they couldn't help falling asleep. (I sometimes got a little nap in, too!) Then I would get up and leave the child on the couch, and quietly do what I needed to do.
For my daughter particularly, she sometimes insisted she didn't need to sleep. So I'd tell her that she didn't have to sleep, but how about she just pretends to sleep. So she'd close her eyes, blah blah blah, and fall asleep.

My son stopped napping at 2 1/2.
Its very upsetting to the Momma (I didn't want to accept that was happening for many months for I felt I needed that time) But he was done napping everyday. I had tried really pushing the issue, but a power stuggle does not make a child require a daily nap.
He sleeps 12 hours at night so I feel gets pleantly of sleep.
Some kids are still taking a good 2 hour nap at 4. Not everyone has the same sleep requirements.
