NEW YORK (AP) — Sitting down for breakfast on a recent rainy New York day, Michael Shannon was uncertain about the prospect of food.
"They say you're supposed to eat breakfast," he said, pondering the option. "You don't eat breakfast, you'll go crazy."
The possibility wasn't a remote one: Shannon has never shown a reluctance to do exactly that.
In parts like the obsessively upright, self-flagellating federal agent on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," the unbalanced, truth-telling neighbors' son of "Revolutionary Road," and in "Take Shelter," the actor's latest, a small-town Ohio family man increasingly haunted by apocalyptic nightmares, Shannon has unflinchingly followed his characters into paranoia, anxiety and derangement.
In the end, coffee was judged sufficient, but nothing close to insanity followed.
Shannon, 37, dressed casually in a Jesus Lizard T-shirt (music was his first love) and a flannel shirt, proved that it's not his imposing size — 6'3" with a rock square jaw — or his ability to dramatically come unhinged that has made him one of the most admired actors around. It's his underlying sensitivity — his empathy for his characters and his attuned senses to his surroundings — that more properly defines Shannon.
"The characters I play, it's not like they're all in the asylum, separate from the rest of us," he says. "I react to things. I think the world is an unsettling place. I have some anxiety about it. Maybe that comes through in what I do. But it's not something I'm attempting to do."
The source of Shannon's paranoia in "Take Shelter," written and directed by Jeff Nichols, is the movie's mystery. Is his character losing it, like his mother did at his age? Or is the perceived threat real and outside his family?
Shannon's performance, a carefully calibrated ball of tension and encroaching mania, has already earned him an underdog place in this year's Oscar prognostications for best actor. After years of character actor and stage work, it's the fullest cinematic display yet of Shannon: unadorned and still powerfully intense.
"I was really floored by his power and stillness," says Jessica Chastain, who plays his wife in the film. "He has this great source of energy, but the stillness contains this great power and intense emotion."
Shannon grew up primarily in Lexington, Ky. His parents divorced when he was very young, so he spent time between Lexington (where his mother lived) and Chicago (where his father lived).
He eventually moved to Chicago full-time and fell into the city's flourishing theater world. He particularly connected with then-nascent playwright Tracy Letts, starring in his "Killer Joe" and "Bug," in which he played a paranoid Gulf War veteran.
Acting appealed to him for its freedom to behave in ways that would be considered inappropriate off-stage.
"It wasn't an attention thing," he says. "I never really gave a crap. I never really cared if people clapped or not. It's a way to travel. It's a form of travelling in another reality or circumstance."
When he moved to Los Angeles to pursue film work, he found small roles in "Groundhog Day," "Jesus' Son," "Vanilla Sky," "8 Mile" and a number of Jerry Bruckheimer films ("Pearl Harbor," "Bad Boys II," "Kangaroo Jack").
Nichols was among the first to recognize Shannon's ability. Having seen footage of him at the writers' workshop Sundance Labs, he was hit by a lightning bolt: "This guy needs to be in every movie I make," he said to himself.
Nichols cast him in his low-budget debut, 2007's "Shotgun Stories," a kind of tale of slacker revenge. Having now twice directed him, Nichols noted he never once saw Shannon with a script in hand, but he always knew it backward and forward.
"His goal is to put something honest up on screen," says Nichols. "It's funny: Though we don't talk about it beforehand or rehearse, as soon as I yell 'cut' and move on, that's when the conversation starts. 'How'd it go? How'd it do?'"
In choosing his parts, Shannon is generally drawn to the material, comparing good writing to a Faberge egg that needs an actor's protection.
In the case of "Take Shelter," he identified with Nichols' (and the script's) anxiety over starting a family. Shannon lives in Red Hook, Brooklyn, with his partner, actress Kate Arrington, and their 3-year-old daughter.
"In my 20s and the first third of my 30s, I lived a very gypsy lifestyle," says Shannon. "It didn't really matter where I lived. I didn't give a rat's ass. Now I have a home and a family. ... So it's on my mind."
Shannon acknowledges he's been pigeonholed for playing disturbed characters and notes it's "something I struggle with."
"I'm certainly not going to do a $5,000 movie about a serial killer ... about a guy who grinds people up or saws people," says Shannon.
On "Boardwalk Empire," which is now airing its second season, his character, Nelson Van Alden has morphed from an Elliot Ness-type, to a religious zealot who punishes himself for his lust for a woman not his wife. In the show's first season, he had a remarkable scene where he baptized a double-crossing colleague, drowning him.
"When Michael commits, he commits," says "Boardwalk" creator Terence Winter. "We look at Nelson Van Alden as this religious zealot who maybe has a screw loose. Michael's approaching it from the inside out, as a real man."
In the much anticipated upcoming Superman film, Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel," he'll play General Zod, the villain earlier played by Terence Stamp. Thinking of working that film, which is currently shooting, in comparison to "Take Shelter," Shannon says: "There's not a word for how different it is."
"Even though six months after I shoot it, when I'm doing press, they'll say, 'So, another evil bastard,'" Shannon says. "I'll be like, 'Yeah, but it was interesting.' And I'll explain why it was interesting."

This document describes the APE Webservice (version 6.6 and higher). The service translates an ACE text into a Discourse Representation Structure (DRS) and other logical forms. It can be accessed over the HTTP protocol using GET or POST. The URL of the service is
An example of a GET query is
which returns the pretty-printed DRS of the ACE sentence Every man is a human..
Note that the APE executable (ape.exe
) supports the
flag which lets you start your own webservice.
See more in the APE documentation.
The rest of this document specifies the input and the output of the service and lists some example clients.
The following table lists all the parameters that can be used as input to APE. A correct query has to minimally specify the ACE text (by text or file). The c-parameters (those whose name starts with c) can be used to configure which types of outputs are produced. The solo-parameter can be used to specify a single output type. In this case, all the c-parameters are ignored.
Parameter | Value | Description |
text | string | ACE text |
file | URL | URL of an ACE text |
ulextext | string | User lexicon |
ulexfile | URL | URL of a user lexicon |
ulexreload | on | off | Reload the user lexicon. This has effect only if ulexfile is specified. |
noclex | on | off | Ignore the lexicon entries that are built into into the webservice (i.e. rely only on the user lexicon and/or guessing). |
guess | on | off | Guess the word-class (common noun, verb, adjective, adverb) of unknown words. I.e. a text containing unknown words is not rejected, instead, the parser tries to figure out the word-class of such words automatically. Note that the parser does not try to lemmatize such words, e.g. unknown plural nouns would be stored in the DRS in the plural form, not in their lemma (i.e. singular) form. |
uri | URI | Ontology URI (only used in the OWL outputs). |
cdrs | on | off | Output the DRS as a Prolog term. |
cdrsxml | on | off | Output the DRS in XML. |
cdrspp | on | off | Output the DRS in pretty-printed form in plain text. |
cdrshtml | on | off | Output the DRS in pretty-printed form in HTML. |
cparaphrase | on | off | Output a paraphrase that is a ``best-effort'' combination of paraphrase1 and paraphrase2. |
cparaphrase1 | on | off | Output a paraphrase that uses full sentences instead of relative clauses. |
cparaphrase2 | on | off | Output a paraphrase that uses relative clauses instead of full sentences. This paraphrase can currently handle if-then sentences that do not contain any modifiers, of-constructions, ditransitive verbs and noun phrase coordination. Note: experimental. |
ctokens | on | off | Output tokens as a Prolog list of lists of atoms. |
csentences | on | off | Output sentences as a Prolog list of atoms. |
csyntax | on | off | Output simplified syntax trees as a Prolog list. |
csyntaxpp | on | off | Output simplified syntax trees in pretty-printed form. |
csyntaxd | on | off | Output plain syntax trees as a Prolog list (for debugging). |
csyntaxdpp | on | off | Output plain syntax trees in pretty-printed form (for debugging). |
cowlfss | on | off | Output OWL/SWRL in the functional representation as a Prolog term. |
cowlfsspp | on | off | Output OWL/SWRL in the functional representation pretty-printed. |
cowlrdf | on | off | Output OWL/SWRL in the RDF/XML representation. DEPRECATED |
cowlxml | on | off | Output OWL/SWRL in the XML representation. |
cfol | on | off | Output the standard first-order logic (FOL) representation of the DRS (as a Prolog term). |
cpnf | on | off | Output the standard FOL representation (Prenex Normal Form) of the DRS (as a Prolog term). |
ctptp | on | off | Output the TPTP representation of the DRS. This format is directly usable as the input format for most FOL theorem provers. |
cruleml | on | off | Output the RuleML representation of the DRS. |
solo | drs | drsxml | drspp | drshtml | paraphrase | paraphrase1 | paraphrase2 | tokens | sentences | syntax | syntaxpp | syntaxd | syntaxdpp | owlfss | owlfsspp | owlrdf | owlxml | fol | pnf | tptp | ruleml | Output just one output component. For drspp, paraphrase, paraphrase1, paraphrase2, syntaxpp, syntaxdpp, owlfsspp, the output is in plain text; for drs, tokens, sentences, syntax, syntaxd, owlfss, fol, pnf, the output is in Prolog term notation, for drsxml, drshtml, owlrdf, owlxml, ruleml the output is in XML. For tptp, the output is in TPTP. |
All flags are off by default.
The value of ulexfile is a URL of the user lexicon (see the ACE lexicon specification). When used for the first time, the user lexicon is downloaded from the given URL and stored locally. The subsequent queries that use the same URL for the user lexicon do not force the lexicon to be reloaded. If the lexicon is changed, it has to be explicitly reloaded by including ulexreload=on in the query.
The most important output component is the DRS. See the documentation in the DRS Report. The webservice also provides additional data about the tokenization and syntax of the input text, as well as its paraphrases (in ACE). These outputs help to understand whether the translation into the DRS is the intended one.
Additionally, the webservice can convert the DRS into other logical languages: standard representations of first-order logic, OWL/SWRL, TPTP, and RuleML.
In case the input is not a well-formed ACE text, an error message is returned. Also, if the input was successfully translated into DRS, but the DRS was not supported by the further conversion (to a paraphrase, OWL, TPTP, etc.), an error message is returned.
In case solo is set, the APE Webservice generates just one output. This makes integration with applications which accept URLs as input easier. Each output has its corresponding Internet media type.
Parameter | Media type | Format |
drs | text/plain | DRS (Prolog term) |
drsxml | text/xml | DRS (XML document) |
drspp | text/plain | DRS (ASCII picture) |
drshtml | text/html | DRS (HTML picture) |
paraphrase | text/plain | ACE |
paraphrase1 | text/plain | ACE |
paraphrase2 | text/plain | ACE |
tokens | text/plain | List of lists (sentences) of tokens (Prolog list of lists of atoms) |
sentences | text/plain | List of sentences (Prolog list of atoms) |
syntax | text/plain | Simplified syntax trees (Prolog term) |
syntaxpp | text/plain | Simplified syntax trees (ASCII picture) |
syntaxd | text/plain | Plain syntax trees (Prolog term) |
syntaxdpp | text/plain | Plain syntax trees (ASCII picture) |
owlfss | text/plain | OWL/SWRL (Prolog term) |
owlfsspp | text/plain | OWL/SWRL (ASCII picture) |
owlrdf | text/xml | OWL/SWRL (RDF/XML document) DEPRECATED |
owlxml | text/xml | OWL/SWRL (XML document) |
fol | text/plain | FOL (Prolog term) |
pnf | text/plain | PNF (Prolog term) |
tptp | text/plain | TPTP |
ruleml | text/xml | RuleML (XML document) |
Note that the outputs that are denoted by 'Prolog term', 'Prolog list', etc.
are serialized Prolog terms which can be
read back into true terms by Prolog-based clients
when using atom_to_term/3
In case of errors or warnings, only the error/warning messages are output (in XML).
Unless solo is set,
APE outputs an XML document (content type text/xml
) encoded in UTF-8
character set with a root element apeResult.
This output is formally specified by an XML Schema
The children of the root element are an element duration which reports
the time that APE spent on processing the ACE text (in seconds), an element messages
which is used to output warning and error messages, and a subset of elements
The output of the webservice could look like the following.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <apeResult> <duration tokenizer="0.01" parser="0.05" refres="0.0"/> <tokens>[['Some', frogs, are, green, '.'], ['Kermit', is, a, frog, '.']]</tokens> <drs>drs([A, B, C, D, E], [object(A, frog, countable, na, geq, 2)-1/2, property(B, green, pos)-1/4, predicate(C, be, A, B)-1/3, object(D, frog, countable, na, eq, 1)-2/4, predicate(E, be, named('Kermit'), D)-2/2])</drs> </apeResult>
If the translation fails, APE returns an empty DRS (drs([],[])
) and
a list of error messages. Then an element messages is output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <apeResult> <duration tokenizer="0.09" parser="0.2" refres="0.1"/> <drs>drs([], [])</drs> <tokens>[['Every', man, waits, '.'], ['He', eats, '.']]</tokens> <messages> <message importance="error" type="refres" sentence="2" token="1" value="Unresolved anaphor: he" repair="Identify correct accessible antecedent."/> </messages> </apeResult>
An ACE text can be erroneous for several reasons:
Note that the exact location of the syntax error is pinpointed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <messages> <message importance="error" type="sentence" sentence="1" token="4" value="A man runs <> very fast." repair="This is the first sentence that was not ACE. The sign <> indicates the position where parsing failed."/>
Note that sometimes errors occur after a correct DRS has been generated. E.g. the translation of ACE texts into OWL is based on the DRS, but not all DRSs are supported in this translation. In this case an error message is reported (which has a type owl).
We have implemented some clients of the APE Webservice to demonstrate APE's interface and how it can be used in different programming languages. Feel free to extend or embed this code.
Since all major programming languages have libraries available for sending queries over HTTP, it is probably possible to use the APE Webservice from your favorite language. If you implement an improved version of the existing clients or a new client in another programming language and want to share your work, please contact us.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this paper, the helix slow wave structure (SWS) of traveling wave tubes (TWT's) has been analyzed, Dielectric supporting rods of arbitrary cross section have been considered in this analysis. The inhomogeneous dielectric loading factor has been accounted for by modeling the discrete support with a number of continuous dielectric tubes of appropriate effective dielectric permittivity, The helix tape model has been used for the field analysis. Furthermore the thickness of the helix tape has been considered. A rigorous solution of the field equations, including the contribution of the space harmonics, was performed to evaluate the phase velocity and the interaction impedance up to millimeter-wave frequencies. The nonuniformity of radial propagation constant over the structure cross section has been also included. With respect to other approaches, a closed-form expression of the field constants has been obtained. A study to choose the optimum number of space harmonics and dielectric tubes to be used in the analysis, has shown how the results are more sensitive to the number of space harmonics than to the number of dielectric tubes, beyond a certain number of the latter. The validity of this theory has been proved by comparison between measurements and simulations for helix SWS with different dimensions, rod shapes and operating frequency band.

Ancistrus Sp
If you're new to keeping Bristlenose Catfish you may already be aware that the term Bristlenose refers to the Genus known as Ancistrus. This is a group (or Genus) of Catfish that is made up of many species of which the most common is known as Ancistrus sp cirrhosus or the Common Bristlenose. After that though the rest of the genus is made up of a number of common names, species names and of course the L numbers. So depending on who you are talking to or what reference you are consulting you could be presented with either an L number, a common name, species name or a combination of names to describe just one Ancistrus sp of Catfish.
Sound confusing? Well I know I was confused to start off with, so having a curious mind I decided to set out to get to the bottom of how the different names all fit together. So here's what I discovered.
Firstly, Bristlenose Catfish are also known as Bristlenose Plecos as well, depending on where in the world you come from. So just for the sake of not making the topic any more confusing than it needs to be I'll use the term Catfish for this article.
Therefore, as I've already stated, the Common Bristlenose is known as Ancistrus sp cirrhosus. Up until recently though this species was incorrectly known as Ancistrus sp dolichopterus, which is in fact a totally different species of Ancistrus. Therefore be careful as you may find some older references that still refer to cirrhosus as dolichopterus.
So what you'll find is Ancistrus sp cirrhosus is the Bristlenose that's most commonly found in live fish shops and is sold as algae eaters for large community tanks. Ancistrus sp cirrhosus is usually brown with spots but you can also find Albinos as well. Then to divide the species up even further there are shortfin and longfin varieties each of which come in the normal brown colour and the albino colour as well.
Therefore within the species cirrhosus you'll commonly find that the different varieties are referred to as;
- Common Bristlenose – brown shortfin
- Albino Bristlenose – albino shortfin
- Common Longfin – brown longfin
- Albino Longfin – albino longfin
Then you can also get a Marble variety, plus other colour varieties as well.
Next up, what do the L numbers refer to?
Well for starters L numbers are given to species that haven't yet been scientifically classified and as such not yet assigned a specific species name. Some of the L number Bristlenoses are species in their own right while others are variations of existing species and may in fact be sub-species.
What you'll also find is L numbers are assigned throughout the family Loricariidae which consists of several Genera (plural for Genus) of which the Ancistrus genus is just one. Therefore for the sake of simplicity (as if it already isn't confusing enough) we'll only deal with L numbers here that relate to the Genus Ancistrus.
Therefore, find below a table with L numbers for the Genus Ancistrus listed (reference: http://theaquariumwiki.com/List_of_L-Numbers) This should give you a clearer idea of how it works.
What you'll find is some L numbers are simply known as Ancistrus sp, some have been assigned several L numbers, some have a common name as well and others have been assigned a species name.
List of L numbers for the Species Ancistrus

Next up is a list of Ancistrus species names. Some of these species also have common names, some still have L numbers as well, while others are just referred to by their species name. Here's a list of Ancistrus that have been classified and given species names. (reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancistrus)
Ancistrus Sp
Ancistrus aguaboensis | Ancistrus galani | Ancistrus montanus |
Ancistrus bodenhameri |
Ancistrus gibbiceps |
Ancistrus multispinis |
Ancistrus bolivianus |
Ancistrus gymnorhynchus |
Ancistrus nationi |
Ancistrus brevifilis |
Ancistrus heterorhynchus |
Ancistrus nudiceps |
Ancistrus brevipinnis |
Ancistrus hoplogenys |
Ancistrus occidentalis |
Ancistrus bufonius |
Ancistrus jataiensis |
Ancistrus occloi |
Ancistrus caucanus |
Ancistrus jelskii |
Ancistrus parecis |
Ancistrus centrolepis |
Ancistrus latifrons |
Ancistrus pirareta |
Ancistrus chagresi |
Ancistrus leucostictus |
Ancistrus piriformis |
Ancistrus cirrhosus |
Ancistrus lineolatus |
Ancistrus ranunculus |
Ancistrus claro |
Ancistrus lithurgicus |
Ancistrus reisi |
Ancistrus clementinae |
Ancistrus macrophthalmus |
Ancistrus spinosus |
Ancistrus cryptophthalmus |
Ancistrus maculatus |
Ancistrus stigmaticus |
Ancistrus cuiabae |
Ancistrus malacops |
Ancistrus tamboensis |
Ancistrus damasceni |
Ancistrus maracasae |
Ancistrus taunayi |
Ancistrus dolichopterus |
Ancistrus marcapatae |
Ancistrus temminckii |
Ancistrus dubius |
Ancistrus martini |
Ancistrus tombador |
Ancistrus erinaceus |
Ancistrus mattogrossensis |
Ancistrus trinitatis |
Ancistrus eustictus |
Ancistrus megalostomus |
Ancistrus triradiatus |
Ancistrus formoso |
Ancistrus minutus |
Ancistrus variolus |
Ancistrus fulvus |
Ancistrus verecundus |
Therefore as you can now see, there are several ways to identify members of the Genus Ancistrus aka Bristlenose Catfish. Some are know only by their common name, some by their species name, some only by an L number and others by a combination of these.
Therefore just in finishing, to give just one more example of how the names can be confusing, consider this Bristlenose, known in Australia as the "Orange Spot Bristlenose". Some enthusiasts believe it to have the L number of L 110 which is commonly known as the Red Spot Bristlenose others refer to it as the species Ancistrus sp leucostictus, both of which appear unlikely. To the best of my research though, the most likely name is Ancistrus sp. `Rio Ucayali`. Therefore you make up your own mind and if you like leave a comment below. Maybe you have another suggestion.
What you can see though, is how these common names (and L numbers) can vary from country to country as it's only in Australia that this particular Bristlenose is known as the Orange Spot Bristlenose.
So hopefully you now have a much clearer idea of why there is no uniformity in the Ancistrus sp. The genus is quite large and there are still many species yet to be scientifically classified. Nevertheless you should now have a much better idea of how all these Ancistrus sp names fit together.

A long night in the mud
Well the windsor area guys all got together at the A&W in windsor for a little meet and greet with a little inpromtu wheeling at the local mud holes after
Here are the pics a great time was had by all I think the broken blue Jeep getting winched out with the rear tire kissing the rear bumper is me I broke two Ubolts on one side of the axle and was a fun time Big thanks to all who were able to stay and help fix me so I could get home I know it was a late night for every one involved It was after 2 am for most guys and after 330am for me work came WAY to early the next day Speacial thanks to Pat for all the tools and the winch and also to Mike for going home all the way accross town to get some threadded rod and nuts to make a make shift U bolt so that I could drive home really slow at about 45 the whole way We also found that my mechanical fan likes to kiss the Rad as this is the second rad it has smooched with in two weeks but this time it seems to be one of those magicle self fixing problems any way enjoy the pics sorry most of them are a little dark as it was the middle of the night Click here for all the pics |

Could only get better if Cain himself wore Hammer Pants
Over here! I ordered the ruined reputation!

In a broad-ranging interview at his Cape Town office, a smiling Mr Mandela, widely seen as the key stabilising factor in South Africa's delicate transition from white minority rule, said: "In 1999 I will be 79 or 80. I don't think an octogenarian should be meddling with political affairs.
"I would like to give over to a younger man. I will be available for advice if they want me, but to occupy a position as a head of state, definitely, I won't take that risk."
Mr Mandela, who has led the government of national unity since winning historic multi-racial elections last April, did not indicate who might succeed him. The First Deputy President, Thabo Mbeki, 52, is widely regarded as the most likely candidate.
Asked about occasional speculation on financial markets that he was in poor health, he replied: "I think somebody is gaining a lot through spreading these rumours. For my age, I think I am in reasonably good health. I enjoy walks. One of my favourite hobbies is to walk . . . sometimes I take three, four and even as much as five hours just walking. A person whose health is frail would not do that. Ask my security guards."
Mr Mandela was asked about allegations of misuse of foreign aid funds by his estranged wife Winnie and the ANC politician Allan Boesak, who this week withdrew as ambassador-designate to the United Nations in Geneva.
Showing no emotion and referring to his wife as "Mrs Mandela", the President said judgment should be suspended on her conduct until an investigation had been completed. Any action against Mr Boesak would depend on the outcome of a separate inquiry, he said.
He added: "I think the way we have handled the Boesak affair indicates the firmness of the ANC, by the caution it exercises before it takes any action." Mr Boesak has been accused, by Scandinavian donors, of misappropriating funds intended for his Foundation for Peace and Justice. He has denied the allegations.
Winnie Mandela, a deputy minister in her husband's government, is at the centre of a dispute over her leadership of the ANC Women's League. Senior league members, who resigned last weekend, have accused her of not passing on to league officials a 500,000-rand (£875,000) donation from the President of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto.
Mrs Mandela has claimed that the money was given to her to disburse to the needy as she wished.

Olimar's Journal
"At night, I have nothing to do to keep me occupied. I've been searching for something to dull the boredom, but every time I find something I want to play with, it's broken. This object is a great example. It looks fascinating, but I can't get it to function. I guess all I have to do is write in this journal."
Sales Pitch
"Going to bed early is a waste of time for a lively soul. This dream-maker makes night fun! ...Fine, so it is broken and does not work. That is a drawback. Come on! Use your imagination!"

Beginning to look alot like Christmas!!!
It's a WEEK until Christmas and I am NO where near ready!!!
If I could just have a remote control for life I would have to hit that rewind button...But, needless to say I did get a little decorating done with the help of my hubby...Actually he pulled everything out and I had no choice but to decorate...LOL
Since we downsized this year I didn't put a lot of decorations out...It's that claustrophobic thing!!
Some come on in to my home!!
I live in the south and it really wasn't snowing...Love Picasa ;-)
My problem was finding a spot for the tree in our cozy lil home...and after much deliberating (about a month) I believe this was my only option... Now I have to decorate the WHOLE Tree if it sits here...you can see it from the front entrance and the living room...
Breathe, Denyse!!! You got this!!
(Yep I talk to myself all the time and proud of it)
This involved finding a temporary home for an end table, a plant and sliding the love seat down...All this for a tree!! Stressed me out!!!
Now at this point we hope the tree fits...
I guess it's time to get it decorated (It sat like this for 3 days) I know I know...Some days I do need a swift kick right in the back side!!
Here are a few of my favorite things..
My angel sits atop the tree watching over us!!!
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care!!
My "Willow Tree" Nativity seen (Christmas gift from hubby 2 yrs ago) is all snuggled under the tree...
Every year I try to pick up a new ornament...I got these cute lil sparklers at Kohl's for $1.49 a piece...I call that a Christmas jackpot!!!
Added some snowman cheer!!
And, it wouldn't be Christmas without "Santa"...I love my old time Santa's...Here are a few of my favorites...
My decorative holiday throw pillows and blankets...
This one sits in a rocker that my daughter who is going to be 26 sat in when she was 2...and he rocks by the fireplace!!
And, this Santa hangs by the front door and annoys the hubby...It plays Christmas music every time you walk past it...(I only annoyed him for a few hours with it than shut it off...lol)
Speaking of hubby...I bet you didn't know I was married to a DIY'er (Well neither did I)...I came home to a wreath hanging on my front door (WE DON"T HAVE A WREATH)...I was like "What the heck, you seriously went and bought a wreath...WE have no extra money"..
Well let me step back because hubby found the plain wreath with our Christmas stuff and added lights and found a bag of Christmas decor and decorated the wreath himself...
YES!! I was literally speechless!!
Don't mess with my hubby!!!
(makes me laugh every time I look at it)
We went from this to this!!
Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree."

Aumann: Return to Rockingham reminds Kahne of 2004
April 05, 2012, Mark Aumann, NASCAR.com
When Kasey Kahne returns to Rockingham Speedway next weekend for the Truck Series' debut there, it'll be his first chance to revisit a place where he came within a blink of winning a Cup race in his second career start. The 2004 Subway 400 was the final Cup race held at the former North Carolina Motor Speedway, and for finales, it was hard to top. Matt Kenseth snapped a year-long winless streak, holding off Kahne by .01 second -- or about the length of a fender. "We just got robbed in front of 100,000 people. " --CHIP GANASSI Kahne was happier with second than he was disappointed at coming so close to the win. But that wasn't the case for third-place Jamie McMurray. Team Chip Ganassi and Felix Sabates, owners of McMurray's car, stormed the NASCAR hauler afterward, wanting to know why they weren't in Victory Lane. Kenseth's car was so good all day that he made almost no changes to the setup. Only Kahne -- a rookie driving the car Bill Elliott had won with at Rockingham the previous fall -- and McMurray were able to stay with him. And when Kenseth decided to pit on Lap 350, Kahne followed the leader while McMurray stayed out. Seconds later, Robby Gordon crashed on the backstretch to bring out the caution. As per the rules of the day, McMurray wound up passing Kenseth and Kahne -- who were just about to leave the pits -- and picked up the pace car in Turn 2. But instead of having his primary competition pinned a lap down, McMurray only could watch in surprise as NASCAR officials waved Kenseth and Kahne around the pace car and put them at the tail end of the lead lap. This was NASCAR president Mike Helton's explanation: "We had officials down at that end of the track making the decision whether or not those cars were in the middle of those pit stops or through with their pit stops by the time the leaders got back around. Our call was that they were progressively through the pit stop but still on pit road." According to Helton, it was a matter of intent. In NASCAR's opinion, Kenseth and Kahne completed what were considered "routine" pit stops and were permitted to remain on the lead lap. "You don't want to entice people to try to outguess the caution and make the pit stop and benefit from making that pit stop," Helton said. "As it happens, they did, but it was just pure accident. There's a point where you have to make a call that he benefited from staying in the pits doing more work on the car while everybody else was racing. That's not what happened in this case." Once the pits were opened, the rest of the lead-lap cars stopped for service, leaving Kenseth and Kahne in first and second -- and Ganassi and Sabates incredulous. "We just got robbed in front of 100,000 people," Ganassi said after getting no satisfaction from his post-race discussion with NASCAR. "They come in the pits and then it goes yellow, and then we go in the pits as the race leader and come out third. How does that work?" But that wasn't the end of the controversy. On the restart with 30 laps remaining, Mark Martin -- two laps down at the time -- lined up on the inside of Kenseth. At the drop of the green, Martin was able to squeeze his No. 6 Ford in between Kenseth and Kahne, allowing his Roush teammate to build a significant lead. Afterward, Martin watched the replay and thought it confirmed that he was "racing and wasn't in anybody's way." Eventually, both Kahne and McMurray got around the lapped car -- and began to close quickly on the leader. With 10 laps to go, Kahne's No. 9 Dodge was on the bumper of Kenseth's No. 17 Ford, but Kahne was as worried about keeping McMurray at bay as he was about trying to pass Kenseth. It stayed that way for lap after lap, with Kahne continually getting a huge run out of Turn 2, only to find Kenseth in the preferred line at the other end of the track. But on the white flag lap, Kenseth went to protect the top groove -- and Kahne ducked to the inside. "I knew Kasey was a little bit lower, but I really didn't pay that much attention," Kenseth said. "I figured as long as I got into Turn 3 in front of him, there was no way he was going to beat me off Turn 4 [and] down the straightaway." It almost worked, as Kahne inched closer and closer to the lead. But Kenseth had just enough momentum left to hang on by no more than a foot as the two cars crossed the start/finish line side by side. "I was surprised he had that big of a run," Kenseth said. "I looked down and saw his nose was up by the door." For Kenseth, the victory was a bit of vindication. Thanks to 25 top-10 finishes, he won the 2003 championship despite winning only one race. There was sentiment that part of the reason the new Chase format was instituted the following season was in part because of Kenseth clinching the title with one race remaining. But that somewhat sold Kenseth short, since he won five Cup races in 2002 and had 12 victories in the then-Busch Series by that time. "Some people have said we can't lead laps and we can't win races, we just go finish seventh every week. So it was awesome to go out and do it," he said. "There wasn't much bad you could say about our year last season [and not winning] was one of the things. This just proved people wrong and shows we can do good." Veteran driver Andy Hillenburg bought the track at auction from Bruton Smith for $4.4 million in 2007 -- and the Truck race next weekend will be the first visit there by a NASCAR national series since Kenseth's victory. As for Kahne, he's had pretty good success in the Truck Series -- winning three of the four races he's run and finishing second in the other.Subway 400

Call for Papers
Semantic technologies continue to make the transition from research labs into mainstream adoption. The In-Use track at ISWC 2011 provides a forum for the community to explore the benefits and challenges of applying semantic technology in real-life applications and contexts, such as industry, science, society, or government.
Submissions to the ISWC In-Use track may employ scientific methods (qualitative and/or quantitative) to understand in greater detail the deployment of semantic technologies (online or offline), or present novel practical approaches that are relevant to the deployment of semantics but may not otherwise gain an outlet in the ISWC series. Papers will be evaluated on how the use of semantic technologies impacts and provides utility to a distributed base of users.
Accepted papers will be distributed to conference attendees and also published by Springer in the printed conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.

I was a bit unsure of wether this should be in this forum or the discussion. Maybe a mod can help me out later if I've made a mistake. But I'm asking for your personal opinion. When you jail broke your device, did you notice a significant change in speed? For my iPad 1, I noticed. I've updated and jail broke it for every iOS upgrade released, and I have noticed it was slow. Now I don't know if it's because it's the iPad 1 and is progressively getting slower with each iOS update, or if it is the tweaks I install just require too much ram or CPU which the iPad 1 can't handle. But now my iPad 1 is running stock 5.1.1, and is running at a regular pace, quicker than any time I've jail broken it. So before I go ahead and try to jailbreak my new iPad, I would like to get some feedback first of whether or not you personally have experienced a loss in speed after you've jailbroken. I am currently away from my home computer, and I have 1 shot to jailbreak it, without having to go through all that restore the stock iOS and restore from backup. I'd rather avoid that for now. So any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance for your input!
nothing happended seriously on my Jailbreaking experiences, lag / slowness happens when you install alot of cydia tweaks that your ipad's ram can no longer handle. so if you jailbreak with an old device, dont install to much tweaks that runs on background
Well... the jailbreak itself does not slow down your iPad at all... The processes that are used to run Substrate use a trivial amount of processing power and RAM but nowhere near enough to slow down your iPad. Now that being said, just like any computer or similar device, what you do with your iPad will significantly affect its performance. If you only install apps and tweaks that run on demand you won't see much performance loss but if you start installing animate tweaks that may start to have a noticeable effect on your performance. I would say that this performance loss will be magnified on the original iPad because it contains around 1/4 the RAM and somewhere near 1/4 the processing and graphics power. So as resolutions get higher and iOS upgrades continue to have even greater features this will have a pronounced effect on your performance as time goes on. My advice is to use SB Settings or a similar app to monitor your free memory and other vitals. I cannot tell you how many times I've felt my iPad was running slow only to open up SB Settings and discover I only had 10MB of free memory. From there I'd close all my open apps in the multitasking bar and be left with around 250-300MB of free RAM. Your iPad will continue to perform as well as it did out of the box so long as you don't bog it down with things that constantly run. I mean while having two dozen different animate tweaks looks cool, it will definitely slow down the rest of your iPad as it has to run the processes for all of the tweaks in addition to whatever apps you have open. Just remember, it's like a little computer you have there. The more you have running, the more it will have to divide the performance between them.
Jailbreaking doesn't slow down your iPad I am new to this forum and I assume this is in the correct section but please correct me if I am wrong. Anyway I have seen a few people wondering if they should jailbreak their iPad 2 or 3 because they are worried about it slowing down their device. This is false. The process of jailbreaking will not slow down your iPad what so ever. How it works is Apple has designed the iPads where the the ram can handle everything that is native like app store apps and the starting apps perfectly. But when you open up the OS, which is what jailbreaking does, Apple has no control over that so it's all under your control. What actually slows it down your device is if it have a lot of stuff in winterboard at once or you have a ton of tweaks etc. this is going to eat up your ram really fast. And that is what is actually going to slow down your device. Now I'm not saying you can't download anything just be aware the more tweaks and stuff that runs all the time the slower your device will end up being. So basically just watch what you download and you will be just fine. Best regards, .Grumpy.
Moderator Edit: I've merged two threads together that were, essentially, talking about the same thing. Thanks for your understanding. Marilyn
I don't know about the iPad, but on the iPod, it is as slow as ever. There isn't much difference other than being able to load different skins or "Themes" It seems to just give you a different look to the same old thing. I am just glad that I am not using my iPod merely as a tracking device for another computer.

I make fine kinetic sculptures, primarily of wood, which utilize magnetic suspension. The magnetically attracted pieces rotate, shimmy and move whenever a breeze or detectable vibration occurs. Vibrations from footsteps, music, earthquakes, etc., will bring the pendants to life. When there are no vibrations, the pendants remain in perfect, motionless balance. As far as I know, I am the only artist who uses magnetic- suspension in sculpture.
When designing a new sculpture, I generally start with a very loose concept of what I want the sculpture to portray. This concept usually involves a focal point that will become the gist of the sculpture. The focal point can be one item, for instance a compass, or multiple complimentary parts, like a sail and hull. Once the focal point or theme of the work has been decided, the frame and ancillary parts are designed to complement the focal point(s). The design process involves painstaking planning and many revisions along the way.
My primary medium is wood. I find wood to be a fascinating material because of each pieces unique and individual beauty. The different species and grain-types of wood offer me a vast palate of color and visual texture to work with.
All of my sculptures are more than what meets the eye. At first glance, a viewer may think that my pieces work by suspending the individual parts from wire. However, on closer look, they realize that the pieces actually seem to defy gravity by floating in air. This of course is done by magnetic suspension. I love people's initial response when the actually realize how the sculptures work. It is usually one of awe and disbelief.
Working with magnets and wood is extremely challenging, and usually takes hours of re-balancing the parts to make them move and interact the way I want them to. However, once the parts are in balance, I am able to achieve sculptural movements that are unique to the Kinetic Art scene. Most artists use only gravity to and wind to manipulate their work, both of which are predictable natural forces. In addition to those forces, I add magnetism, which causes the parts to interact and manipulate each other in new and fresh ways. Sometime the parts will quiver, spin, and shimmy in ways that are not possible without the use of magnets. Touching one piece of the sculpture will cause the other parts to come to life as if by magic.
My goal in sculpture is to give each viewer a new and unique experience. When people spend an extra moment looking at my art, they will realize that there is much more going on than meets the eye.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. I love your creating as will all the rest of the Lumberjocks. Truly new ideas! Have you seen a Mendocino motor? I made one and it is in my gallery somewhere. It is levitated by magnets and runs on solar power. Mine still runs every day the sun is out but the armature solar cells are cracked from falling on the floor many times.

Seattle Foundation created the Center for Community Partnerships to advance collaborative, systemic change to achieve greater economic and racial equity in the region. The Vibrant Democracy Initiative is our newest Center initiative, with the goal of strengthening the voice and participation of underrepresented communities to allow for more equitable systems change.
Engaging communities in change efforts around issues that directly affect them leads to more effective results and improved sustainability of long-term, positive change. Our ability to create a more equitable future in Greater Seattle requires skilled and informed community partners and without them, representative and truly democratic processes will not be possible.
Our first effort is a partnership with King County Elections to support voter education and culturally relevant technical assistance within limited-English speaking communities. We are working with 22 community-based organizations whose expertise and deep community ties can effectively drive the participation of under-represented communities in the broader democratic process.

Philipp Lahm's frustration at FC Bayern München's difficult season so far has been made plain over recent weeks. But as they prepare to face Maccabi Haifa FC with UEFA Champions League elimination a very real prospect, the club vice-captain is taking a positive approach, declaring: "We have to show that we are Bayern München and we will win this game."
Four-point deficit
Bayern sit third in Group A, four points behind second-placed Juventus, and to go into their Matchday 6 trip to Turin still with a chance of reaching the first knockout round, Lahm's side have to beat the Israeli champions and hope the Bianconeri do not prevail at leaders FC Girondins de Bordeaux. "Of course tomorrow I will be a Bordeaux supporter," Lahm said, though he knows the side lying seventh in the Bundesliga after three straight league draws need to pick up their own game against opponents without a point in the group.
Tacking control
"This is a very important game for us and we have to absolutely focus on ourselves to win," the 26-year-old defender said. "Haifa have good players. We have to show from the beginning who is the boss on the pitch. We have to show there will be nothing to gain for them in this game."
Not since 2002/03 have Bayern fallen at the UEFA Champions League group stage, and then there was the consolation of domestic dominance to the extent that they ended 16 points clear in the Bundesliga. This time, though, the German giants could do with a European boost to improve reinvigorate their league campaign, as Lahm acknowledges.
'Not too late'
"We feel the pressure, but we know right now nothing is decided, it is not too late," the German international said. "But we have to work together now. We have to show that we really are a team. We are talking a lot at the moment and we know we have to support each other. We need success now. If we win, we will gain confidence. If we are confident again, we will win games. It is that easy. The players know what it is all about now – it is an all or nothing game."

DRM is one of mostly hotly debated topics in our industry today, but CD Projekt RED is sticking to its guns and maintaining its anti-DRM stance.
The Polish developer has announced that, like its predecessors, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will also be DRM-free.
"We are trying to get rid of DRM. If someone wants to pirate a game, eventually he will," gameplay designer Maciej Szczesnik conceded in an interview with Kotaku, with managing director Adam Badowski adding, "You can't do anything about it. We want to give the best user experience possible."
Badowski also said that removing DRM in their other games even made a positive impression on pirates. "When we removed DRM, people on those torrents were actually asking people not to download our game, because we [weren't using DRM]," he said.
The open-world RPG is headed to PC and next-gen consoles in 2014.
