Beijing, as China's capital, has a long history and culture.
Now I introduce some of the famous Beijing Park,I hope to be able to help you know Beijing. Welcome to Beijing ! :)
1 The Palace Museum
The Palace Museum, historically and artistically one of the most comprehensive Chinese museums, was established on the foundation of the palace that was the ritual center of two dynasties, the Ming and the Qing, and their collections of treasures. Designated by the State Council as one of China's foremost protected monuments in 1961, the Palace Museum was also made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through Tiananmen Gate. Immediately to the north of the Palace Museum is Prospect Hill (also called Coal Hill), while on the east and west are Wangfujing and Zhongnanhai neighborhoods.
Thank you Peng! :)

The Great Wall The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces--Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu--and two autonomous regions--Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together. The Badaling Great Wall 60 kilometers away from Beijings is in the bright Great Wall's outstandingrepresentative, because here extends in all directions, thereforebecomes Badaling. Possibly everybody can ask that, why has to speakthe Great Wall to construct in here? Actually this mainly is becauseof the Badaling area important geographical position. It not only isguarding the bright imperial tomb, moreover also is Beijing'snorthwest front door.The Badaling Great Wall is in the history many significant eventstestimonies, for example the dreary queen mother Patrols Good fortune, Yuan Taizuenters the pass, west Empress Dowager Cixi runs away and so on,Badaling all is after all the road. Speaks of here, but also somestory must say for everybody: Is located closes the east end gateroadside, some megalith, the fable the Eight Power Expeditionary Forceattacked into Beijing in 1900, Cixi runs away in the west on the waypasses through here, once stood in this stone other day looks thenational capital, therefore this stone on is also called looks theBeijing stone. But present this stone already not that highlighted.
Very happy for everyone interested in this article。Thank you,frends :)

Angels outfielder Torii Hunter was named the recipient of the 2009 Branch Rickey Award. The award is given out each season to honor those players who do the most to set the single game record for stolen bases allowed, to crush the independent minor leagues, to deal sharply with players renegotiating their contracts and business partners attempting to buy them out, and to those players who do their best to integrate baseball.
Congratulations Torii!

The Baby Laundry for Unmarried Mothers
Shunned by her family and forced to leave her job, Angela was sent to an imposing-looking convent for unmarried mothers in north-east London. Run like a Victorian workhouse, conditions in the convent were decidedly Spartan. Vilified and degraded by the nuns for her 'wickedness', her only comfort came from the other pregnant girls, all knowing they too would have to give up their babies. After a terrifying labour with no pain relief, Angela gave birth to a beautiful son, Paul, with whom she fell instantly in love. At eight weeks he was taken from her and forcibly put up for adoption, leaving Angela bereft and heartbroken. Not a day went by without Angela thinking about him. Then, thirty years later, she received a letter. It was from Paul, and a reunion was arranged.
This vital slice of social history is a shocking reminder of how cultural mores have changed around the issue of single motherhood since the early 1960s. It is also an honest, heartfelt memoir that explores the closest of human bonds.

About this recipe: Based on the lovely Nigel Slater recipe for toad in the hole. Sausages bake in a Yorkshire pudding batter - so easy!
Use the onions in a thick onion gravy and serve with mashed potatoes or just serve on its on!
I found this better cooked in a small dish so the batter envelops the sausages better. I've only made this once, and whilst the taste was great, I need to tweak the quantities for a thick batter.
The liquid, milk/water needs serious reworking batter far to thin - 22 Jul 2013

You have been having such a good time on your stop-over.
Good Day Sunshine (Thanks Beatles)!!
Loading Map
In the morning we headed off to that great Club (I managed 45 minutes of deep water aerobics in the pool)...I sure need more of that after all we have been eating while here. All good, of course, but nonetheless it must be stopped and soon!
We are so excited to see the sun after three full days of rain. These farms around here will never to planted at this rate. Barns are in your future, well in photographic form anyway.
Hard to believe that it is Memorial Day Weekend..the time is marching on and "Johnny aint coming home" any time soon!! We wish you a safe Holiday Weekend - thank a soldier for his service
Today off to do a little looking at Mother of the Groom dresses for Claudia...boys are putting together the last two rails on the deck which is about 15 feet off the ground. Wouldn't want to wander out there in the dark just yet...
Claudia found her dress and it is perfect for her. Lucky her, the wedding is in November and she's all ready got a fantastic dress!! Good going gal!!
We had a few things done on the coach so hopefully she will be raring to go all the way to Alaska and back in one piece.
Road kill today looked to be a hawk (sad) and the Vultures were already there before me, but to be honest I did fill up on the squirrel, so I wasn't really ready for another road kill meal for awhile. Although I have to say our friend Dick really knows his way around his grill and game meats!
The "Flats" really enjoyed their day in the sunshine as well!
Happy Trails...
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Well, I do know it is a Beatles song, and I know the tune, if not all the words. I also have the album. It wasn't their biggest seller, but "Revolver" is likely my favorite; "Taxman," "And Your Bird Can Sing," "Doctor Robert," "For No One," "Eleanor Rigby" (which may be the biggest hit on the album), and more. Lastly, the song that could be your theme song for the year, "Here, There and Everywhere.."
P.S. Everyone should have a profile photo. (But maybe most defer to Facebook for photos). So I thought maybe I should change mine for you.

Cass auditor gets high marks from state
WALKER — Minnesota State Auditor's Office has issued an unqualified opinion after auditing Cass County's 2001 financial records. This is the highest level of opinion regarding Cass financial procedures that can be given.
"The county was determined to be a low risk auditee," the audit report states. The full audit report will be available on the county website at www.so.cas.mn.us.ß
County Administrator Robert Yochum reported to the county board Tuesday that department heads and the county's citizen budget committee have identified $186,280 savings from the general fund, $105,000 from road and bridge and $200,000 from health, human and veterans services to help offset an expected increased cost of $46,500 for the self-insurance fund to provide an additional net $444,780 to set aside with the previous $244,359 planned for a contingency fund.
This means the board's goal for at least a $640,000 contingency fund in the 2013 budget has been slightly exceeded and will be $689,139, Yochum reported. The budget committee met Sept. 21 to reach this conclusion after the board set the preliminary levy earlier in September.
The budget committee will meet one more time in November to set its final recommendation to the board in advance of the 6 p.m. Dec. 6 public hearing at the courthouse in Walker on the budget.
Local government units seeking wind damage reimbursements from the state for the July 2 storm need to contact Kerry Swenson, county emergency services director, at 547-7437 in order to determine their eligibility for claims and to submit those claims prior to Oct. 19.
Cass County's annual auction of surplus equipment Sept. 8 netted $8,730.11. Shingobee Township also netted $13.10 on the sale. Sheriff Tom Burch served as auctioneer.
Dale Yerger, Deep Portage Conservation Reserve director, obtained county board approval to purchase a third solar panel installation for its buildings from low bidder Trosen Electric/Empowered Energy for $36,000.
Deep Portage Foundation has raised $26,000 toward the purchase price and will conduct a fund raising effort to pay the balance. The 40 new solar panels will be mounted on the south side of the great hall at the main learning center and dormitory building.
Yerger said Deep Portage currently generates 10 percent of its energy from renewable sources and expects the new installation to raise that to 15 percent. He said solar installations have generated more return than the wind system currently in use.
John Ringle, environmental services director, obtained board approval for his agency to serve as fiscal agent for a $2,000 to $3,000 grant under which Bemidji State University will analyze data collected this summer in an aquatic invasive species survey conducted at Ten Mile Lake.
Heidi Massie, county personnel committee chair, obtained board approval to make three changes to the county personnel manual. One adjusts guidelines for use of county-owned cell phones to meet Internal Revenue Service rules.
The other two require department heads to write plans for properly entering voicemail and email automatic responses to ensure courteous customer service and for expanding from just prohibiting employees from carrying guns to prohibiting carrying of weapons and explosives.
Under the latter policy, a department head may set a policy for exempting employees from carrying weapons and explosives beyond that of a licensed peace officer being allowed to carry a gun under circumstances the department head sees fit. This might include allowing an employee to carry Mace or similar defensive product.
University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Policy has completed a survey of county websites. The purpose of the survey was to show how well counties provide information on budget and tax, public meetings, permit and inspection, governance contacts and election and elected officials.
Central Services Director Tim Richardson said most Minnesota counties rated under 10 out of a possible 20 points, but Cass was ranked at 15, showing Cass has less need for improvement than many counties in the state. Only two metro area counties rated a 20, and they have access to many software programs Cass does not, he said.

A New Kind of Addiction
Book by: PeaceLoveLingleton
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - A New Kind of Addiction
Mallory looked into Aiden's mysterious green eyes, and for once, she could actually see some emotion. It was fear. That scared Mallory. Aiden was always the one that was sure of himself; the one that kept her safe when she was scared; and the one that never, ever, let anyone know what he was feeling.
He noticed that she had seen that hint of fear in his eyes and immediately shook his head so that his dark, shaggy, hair covered most of his eyes, almost blocking his ability to see. He looked away and didn't look back until he had gotten control over himself. After all signs of emotion were gone, he turned back to Mallory and they followed the police out of the building and into their car.
The bust was bound to happen some time. They had been playing with fire for too long, it was only logical that the ended up getting burned. Mallory always kept a close eye on things out front while Aiden was in the back at clubs, parties, or whatever. But this time, she just didn't catch on in time. Right when Aiden had gotten his money, the doors were knocked down and police came barging in with guns ready to fire. Mallory had instantly tried to run, but was grabbed by a strong policeman and pulled to the back with them. She saw Aiden on the floor with his hands behind his head. They had checked his pockets and found the drugs. Mallory had watched as her pay for the week was bagged and taken for evidence. They then kicked him and told him to get up. He was then pushed into the corner. The policeman holding Mallory had thrown her over there with him.
Now they were in the police car on their way to the station. They were both handcuffed behind their backs and were extremely uncomfortable. They were both looking absentmindedly out the windows as the world went streaming by in flashes of every color. Watching this, Mallory realized with a shock that she may not see these things again for a long time. She just knew that she was going to be in prison for a few years, separated from Aiden for all of that time. The thought saddened her deeply. Although she and Aiden weren't a couple, they may have well as been as well as they knew each other and as much time as they spent together.
By the time all of these thoughts had run through her mind a few times, they were at the station. Mallory was led in, right behind Aiden, into the gray, depressed looking station. The walls
were the dullest color she had ever seen. There were several desks spaced throughout the station, some more organized than others. One of them was covered with empty coffee cups and the papers
weren't in any particular order.
They were led into separate interrogation rooms and questioned for hours. Neither one of them gave up anything. They were too busy trying to protect each other. The cops never got a straight answer
from either one and neither of their stories matched up. They were threatened several times, but still refused to give either one up.
Finally after several hours of this, they gave up and allowed the two to see each other. They instantly grabbed each other in a tight hug and didn't let go, or even say a word until they were led to a holding cell.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Clinton opened very graciously in Louisville tonight, offering many stirring words of support to Ted Kennedy. Kennedy's "five extraordinary decades dedicated to America," she said, were filled with passion for all the right progressive causes and paved the way for Senator Obama and herself. Remember, Ted Kennedy was a surprise endorsement for her opponent.
The portion of the remarks that pertained to the Democratic race were typical of Clinton's new and seemingly contradictory campaign trail mix: positive messages that don't tarnish the presumptive Democratic nominee plus an almost obstinant belief in herself and her chances. She thanked Kentuckians for handing her a huge victory despite the fact that "some have said your votes didn't matter, that this campaign is over." (She may have been referring to my last blog post.) She also restated her belief that she is winning the popular vote, which is true only if you do some very tricky and very selective math. "I have fought [this race] the only way I know how," she added. "With determination, by never giving up and never giving in."
But Clinton likely understands her chances. All negative attacks on Obama have been erased from her speech. The only people she attacks nowadays are John McCain and George W. Bush. In her speech today she even said that she and Obama "see eye to eye when it comes to electing a Democratic president in the fall." It was in some ways a preview of the general election speeches Hillary Clinton may give as a campaign surrogate for Barack Obama.

Non-Compliant State
The following letter was written to the Director of the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management.
Dear Editor,
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) is not adhering to the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Section 306 financial award contract since the 1984 Evaluation Findings by Peter Tweedt with enforcement and monitoring of permits approvals
for compliance with
the Tidal Wetlands Act and regulations and New York State's Coastal Management Program authorities as per the contract award defined in 15 CFR 923.132 (e).
The program also provides for full participation by individual parties like myself mandatory requirements 16 USC 1455 (d) consistent with section 1452 of the CZMA and regulation promulgated by the Secretary of Commerce 15 CFR 923.1 (7) Provides for public participation in permitting process, consistency determinations, and other similar decisions that include evaluations and zoning revisions that protect coastal communities.
I have not received any response from NOAA about the DRAFT evaluation findings that should be revised to include the many violations of proposed projects that have obstructed existing public access areas and do not comply with the goals, standards and policies of the State's 44 Coastal Management Program Policies and New York City's Waterfront Revitalization Program Policies that are consistent with the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 Policies Declared in 16 USC Section 1452 (1) (2) (A) through (K).
There is no point in funding over 4.5 billion dollars of congressional appropriations of tax dollars to this program to New York State and City where NOAA has NOT conducted the evaluations of coastal management programs and enforced or monitored the balancing of economic development in order to protect, preserve and maintain coastal communities and the eco systems that is consistent with CZMA section 1452.

2014 World Cup: Ghana keeper Fatau Dauda among few players flying South African flag in Brazil
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson
Follow Akyereko on Twitter: @AkyerekOfficial
Though Ghana keeper Fatau Dauda was limited to the substitute bench in South Africa during the league season, he is one of the few individuals keeping their name up at the World Cup.
Since joining Pirates from AshGold after the 2013 AFCON, the 27-year-old warmed the bench in most part of the season but when called up for Ghana duty at the World Cup, he showed no rust at all as he impressively helped Ghana to deny Germany on his debut World Cup game.
There was finally some profile for South Africa at the Fifa World Cup at the weekend as Orlando Pirates reserve goalkeeper Fatau Dauda got to play.
Dauda got the nod ahead of Norway-based Adam Kwarasey in goal for Ghana, who put up a heroic showing against mighty Germany but let a lead slip to draw 2-2 and are now on the brink of elimination.
Dauda had little chance with either goal for Germany, the first from Mario Goetze and the second from Miroslav Klose.
There were little signs of nerves from a rusty Dauda after spending almost all the season on the bench with the Buccaneers.
He came off his line early to make a good save from Mesit Ozil and stopped an effort from Sami Khedira.
Though Pirates did not allow him enough playing time, they have earned huge money from FIFA due to his participation at the World Cup.

I was just wondering everyones opinons on the manx rat (tailless rat)
As you may well know its a genetic mutation and it comes with plenty of health risks. Many are severely deformed, but not all. It can also greatly impair a rats balance. Personally I dont deem it ethical to attempt to breed these certain rats, many of the females have difficulty birthing due to the improper bone structure so its only ideal to breed a manx male with a female and the 'gene' is recessive so thats why you dont see them around much.
Im aware there are other mutations within rat genetics such as the hairless, who also have lots of health risks but as a whole I think they can be very happy and well adjusted. Maybe the tailless too, but I dont think people should aim to produce Manx at all - the negatives outweigh the positives.
At this point where the Manx are, anyone breeding them are setting themselves up for lots of potentially unhealthy rats, only to pick the healthy ones to breed from in hope of creating a healthier line eventually. But isnt this unethical when considering all the unhealthy deformed ones they will surely produce?
Let me know your thoughts and imput.

Folks I am in the market for 1994-1996 Fleetwood Brougham and have some questions for you.
Today I test-drove a 1994 Fleetwood Broughham with 112*** miles on the odometer. The car had a few blemishes exterior -wise (door-dents, broken grill, bent antenna), but nothing major. The engine bay was clean and neat.
The bad... On a highway after some 50MPH I could clearly hear some muffled humming noise I could not place... Tires? There was also some light vibration during acceleration and decelleration I never experienced with my 1991 Seville. The car handled well but I really felt as if I were driving a truck! LOL All windows, seats etc, seemed to be fine. I tried onboard diagnostics and here what I had got.
As far as I could understand there were no 00 and 01 codes. There was 126 code for 02 (I guess it is a history 26 -Serial Data Communication error (shorted/open). There were a few 05 codes I cannot decifer... 09, 14, 12... What the hell is that?
My Seville seems to be faster or probably I just did not get used to Fleetwood. Throttle response of my Seville seems to be much better. Again, I might be subjective on that. I remember how uncomfortable I felt when I switched from company 2000 Ford Focus to my 1991 Seville ten years ago...
The wind noise was very noticeable as well.
Again, my main concern is that muffled humming noise. Could it be transmission, dufferential related? All the fluids looked and smelled good to me.
I really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

Beautiful colors, no one will ever notice any mistakes. So, don't point them out. They will love it.
What a wonderful first quilt...you did a great job...and I bet you learned a LOT!
Very Pretty! Great job. :thumbup:
I don't see mistakes, I just see beauty. Congrats on the quilt. I am seeing so many techniques even curved piecing. The next will be easier and the next even easier.
Wonderful quilt. Beautiful work.
Since it was my first quilt, I went the easy way and did stitch in the ditch.
It actually is the center of the Greek Cross block, but I thought it was so plain that I did an embroidery
design in the center, it is an outline type design of Christmas Bells with ribbons...my picture does't show it to well. Any of the applique I did by machine, but did do the hidden stich on the back for the binding.
I just did a stitch in the ditch for the quilting, didn't want to get too confident...need to become more sure of myself with future quilts. I do have to say, the Craftsy BOM was great, the directions were really easy to follow. This is the first one completed, still have another one that needs assembled for another
dgd. Hope to have it done by Christmas...same as this one.
That is great. I am behind several months on mine and I'm using Christmas fabric so I will have to finish it next year when I have more time.
So very pretty!!
hard to believe this is a first quilt--absolutely gorgeous!

Wintery Wine Getaway
Fellow Stimuli Magazine contributor and wine lover, Linda, was my companion for my most recent wandering up the Coquihalla Highway to visit Bottleneck Drive — an aptly named route of Summerland wineries. Most think of the summer months as the key time to visit one of the 214 plus, grape wineries in British Columbia, but the fall and winter months can be just as interesting.
During our whirlwind visit we were fortunate enough to be guests at Summerland Waterfront Resort and Spa. Tucked into a stretch of Lake Okanagan shoreline, the resort provided a comfortable spot to call home for our too short visit. We were settled into a room overlooking the boardwalk. For the avid bird watcher in Linda, the view and bird watching opportunities were a pleasant surprise. We didn't have time to explore the spa part of the resort, but we did squeeze in a dip in the hot tub before wrapping up our Summerland experience, which was fantastic.
With all the wine on the menu, we needed to fit in some fantastic eats. It goes without saying, a stop in at Local Lounge | Grill for dinner must be firmly on your wintery wine getaway agenda. With eyes bigger than our stomach's, we enjoyed some of the new menu items from Chef Lee Humphries including beef shortrib poutine, house made tortellini, and a grilled beef tenderloin with the best bubble and squeak! With no room for dessert, we walked across the parking lot to the resort and called it a night.
We were also directed to a lovely little spot for a great latte, and as it turns out, great food. Good Omens Coffee House is a favourite with the locals, and Linda and I can see why. We enjoyed lunch on the day we arrived and breakfast the following day.
Of course, no winter wine trip is complete without several winery visits.
With our limited time we were able to stop in at See Ya Later Ranch, Sumac Ridge, Summergate, and Tin Horn Creek, where we enjoyed some of the best – and biggest – pizzas ever.
Not only is Bottleneck Drive home to hundreds of delicious wines, it is also well-known for the delicious sparkling wines that are produced in the traditional champagne method. While these BC beauties cannot carry the champagne name, as they are not produced in the champagne region of France, they do carry delicate bubbles that make me want to wear rhinestones and pajamas…oh and eat popcorn.
Don't usually reach for a bottle of bubbles? Here are a few great reasons to change that:
- Sometimes life is filled with repetition, bubbles break up the same-old-same-old.
- The Bub, or even better The Pink Bub by Haywire. Why? I like to say Bub.
- Dreaming of bubbles, while in the bath? Me too, but that sounds like a lot of work. Open a bottle and treat sparkling wine like you would any other bottle, add it to your favourite stir-fry sauce, and pour yourself a glass.
Worried about opening a bottle and having to throw out what you don't drink? Canada's first sparkling wine, Sumac Ridge's Steller's Jay Brut, comes in half bottles. Perfect for PJ's and popcorn.

Marvell is developing a new chip that could bring a speed boost for handsets and slates, according to an unnamed industry insider. The company is whipping up a triple-core ARM-based processor known as the Armada 628, the source said. It will reportedly offer more performance than its predecessors and its third core will aid in load balancing between the first and second cores. Further details were not provided, apart from a vague launch timeline.
The Armada 628 is currently in testing by "lead customers" and it could debut as early as the first quarter of 2011. The source wasn't quick to drop any names, but RIM seems like a prime candidate, as it uses Marvell chips in many of its mobile devices. Conveniently, the BlackBerry maker is expected to unveil a new tablet PC in the coming days or weeks, but we'll refrain from speculating. Marvell's new chip will arrive in a similar window as products from competitors including Nvidia (Tegra), Samsung (Hummingbird) and Qualcomm (Snapdragon).

O my word, when I first used this product I thought I was mistaken it for the cleanser until i realized it was not. It cleaned my skin so well after washing with the gel I was kind of embarrassed with the results on the cotton ball. You can imagine. It left my skin baby soft and extra clean. I am hooked on the feeling.

It made my face red and burning all over, still feeling the nastiness after 15 minutes of washing it away and applying BeeCeuticals Queen Bee for a Day Cream to cover the damage done. Terrible stuff indeed, but I'm not surprised since Avalon Organics is just one of 50 high-selling brands by the notorious Hein Celestial Group, a big player in the business partly owned by the multi-national ketchup giant Heinz. Their other avoidable brands include chemically-loaded Jason's and Alba Botanica cosmetics, Soy/Rice/Almond Dream milks (go find and get some real nutritious raw milk instead of sipping up brain-damaging unfermeted soy drinks) and Celestial Seasongins teas which are quite boring and ineffective, and nothing special beyond their artwork-centered marketing image.

Notes for Avalon's Vit. C Toner and Lavender Toner. I have dry aging skin with acne. Yeah, I know quite lovely. I tried the Lavender first (for sensitive skin). . .just wasn't sure about the lavender scent on my face, so next time I ordered the Vit. C version (for all types of skin). . . and now I'm not sure about the citrus scent on my face. Both worked great on my dry skin and both virtually eliminated my acne. Think I will go back to the Lavender scent, which made my skin feel a bit more protected/hydrated.

If there were any lingering concerns, you couldn't tell by what happened on the practice field. Jonas Gray seems to be cutting effortlessly on that rehabilitated knee. Thus far, through OTA's and mini-camp, he's shown no ill effects, working his way into the discussion in what currently is a crowded Dolphins backfield.
So, with that in mind, Gray is looking for any way to get on the field and solidify his spot on what will be whittled down to a 53-man roster right after Training Camp, not balking at the opportunity to contribute on special teams.
It's an outside-in approach: prove yourself valuable in all facets of the game, earn trust, and then, perhaps, get some more time in the backfield.
"My role, definitely, 100 percent, is to be the best player I can on special teams, help wherever I'm needed at the running back position," Gray said. "But then also I'm competing for the starting spot. That's how everybody's mode should be in the entire running back room.
"If you make yourself an asset on special teams, and you do what you need to do at the running back position and you play as a starter, you put yourself in a good position to make the team."
It's a path that could end up mirroring the one he took in college at Notre Dame. A blue-chip prospect out of Pontiac, Mich., Gray suffered a less-serious knee injury – prior to the injury that ended his college career – that knocked him out of the running back rotation during his junior season. Undeterred, he emerged a team leader, playing special teams, lending a hand where he could for the Fighting Irish.
By the time his senior season started, though, he had reacquired a prime spot in the backfield, ready for a big year.
Earning a starting spot midseason, Gray put the power into a surprisingly effective rushing attack, racking up 791 yards and 12 touchdowns through 11 games.
The quick rise came to an even quicker end, though. Gray couldn't complete his breakout season without heartbreak, suffering the knee injury against Boston College in November of 2011 that would keep him sidelined for the next year.
It was of a flood of emotions, then, when Gray signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent last year but was unable to practice in full – close enough to get a taste but still insulated from most of the action.
"Going through the whole process was difficult, but definitely once I got around football it was difficult. Once I was able to practice for a few weeks it was difficult for me. I'm just glad to be back out there. A new year, a new beginning, a new start – I'm excited."
Gray enters the fray in a unique spot but with some valuable experience in South Florida.
He spent a year with the coaching staff, with the complex playbook, nothing to dismiss for a player fighting for a spot with a handful of unproven players. That he received a commitment from the team last season is a big motivator. Remember it as validation of your ability and your work, but do not let it allow you to become complacent; someone else has an eye on your spot.
"It gave me confidence," Gray said. "Each year you have to come in with the same mindset that you have to prove yourself just like you did the year before and that's what I'm doing. Coming in fresh, feeling like a rookie, feeling like a freshman in college, got to make the bus."

The foundation floor joists are rotting.
To repair the foundation joists, could the floor be pulled up, joist jacked up and bamboo planks wedged in?
I have heard boric acid helps control dry rot?
Is there an appropriate insulation that could be sprayed under the floors?

Vernon K. Gill
Vernon Kingsley Gill (1892-1970), of Regina, Saskatchewan, was the younger brother of Eric Gill, a well-known British sculptor, engraver, and writer active during the first half of the twentieth century. Throughout his life, Vernon Gill devoted considerable effort to assembling books and other materials documenting the career of his eldest brother. He was assisted by his twin brother Evan R. Gill, author of the Bibliography of Eric Gill (London: Cassell, 1953) and The Inscriptional Work of Eric Gill (London: Cassell, 1964).
The Vernon K. Gill Collection consists of 135 books and pamphlets, almost all by or about Eric Gill. Most of the publications have personal inscriptions, typically being presentation copies from Evan Gill to Vernon Gill. The collection includes 7 presentation copies inscribed by Eric Gill, 4 imprints of the Golden Cockerel Press, and 7 imprints of Hilary (Douglas) Pepler and the St. Dominic's Press at Ditchling, Sussex, as well as a proof copy of the Bibliography of Eric Gill by Evan Gill.
The National Gallery of Canada received the Vernon K. Gill Collection as a donation from Evan Quick, the grandson of Vernon K. Gill.
Records for items in the Vernon K. Gill Collection are entered in the online catalogue of the Library and Archives. Included in the catalogued items are a number of pamphlets and broadsheets which have been mounted in scrapbook volumes forming part of the Vernon K. Gill fonds. An online finding aid of the fonds is in preparation.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong
Genres: Horror, Paranormal, Young Adult
Series: Age of Legends #1
Published by Harper Collins on April 8th 2014
Pages: 400
Source: Edelweiss
Also by this author: The Reckoning, Omens, Visions
In the Forest of the Dead, where the empire's worst criminals are exiled, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn are charged with a dangerous task. For they are the Keeper and the Seeker, and each year they must quiet the enraged souls of the damned.
Only this year, the souls will not be quieted.
Ambushed and separated by an ancient evil, the sisters' journey to find each other sends them far from the only home they've ever known. Accompanied by a stubborn imperial guard and a dashing condemned thief, the girls cross a once-empty wasteland, now filled with reawakened monsters of legend, as they travel to warn the emperor. But a terrible secret awaits them at court—one that will alter the balance of their world forever.
Moria and Ashyn are twin sisters with a most crucial role. They are respectively the keeper and the seeker on the Forest of the Dead and their role is to keep the population safe from the angry spirits roaming its depth. Each year, on a specific night, the seeker walks into the forest with a small group to seek the bodies of the exiles (criminals and such) and give them a proper burial to bring them peace. This year, Ashyn will go into the forest alone, without her mentor, and nothing could've prepared her – nor Moria- for what awaits them in the shadows.
What an amazing read! I'm a fan of Kelley Armstrong (I'm currently reading her Woman of the Otherworld series and have read both her YA trilogies, Darkest Powers & Darkness Rising), and this book is honestly completely different from anything else I've read from her. The tone is actually very dark despite some humor here and there, and I have to confess the novel gave me the creeps. I even had trouble falling asleep one night after reading a particular scene at around 20% of the book. This novel is honestly bordering on horror, especially at the beginning, but the scary factor was brought down a bit once both girls set out on their respective quests.
I truly enjoyed the very unique lore Armstrong brought to the table. In the girls' kingdom, there are three pairs of twin sisters holding the role of keeper & seeker: One at the palace, one at the forest of the dead, and one is roaming around. Their role is of the utmost importance in this world where spirits hold great powers and those honored girls are chosen in a rather gruesome way. Each of them also have a bonded pet and I thought it was a really nice touch, especially considering their important to the plot. This world is also filled with magic and mythical creatures the likes you've never heard of and it was amazing, and sometimes scary, to discover them.
An aspect I particularly liked is how different Moria and Ashyn are despite their being twins. Moria is a big-mouthed arrogant fighter with a passion for story-telling and a weak spot for children. Her vision of boy-girl interaction is also very technical, especially compared to Ashyn's who as a very romantic spirit. The latter is also soft spoken and of a much more intellectual type, let's say she much preferred healing classes to combat ones. Both of them are amazing in their own way and their opposite personalities are balancing each other perfectly.
The girls were split after a tragic event and spend most of their journey apart, each paired with a boy. Gavril, Moria's partner, is a brooding secretive and sexy soldier with an attitude to rival Moria's. I actually really liked him and after their journey, he is the biggest mystery I can't wait to discover in the following novel. Ronan, Ashyn's companion, is an exile who survived the winter in the forest of the dead and he also is very secretive. He appears and disappears as pleases him, but he is always there when Ash needs him. I had a soft spot for him and I want to see more from him as well.
In this novel, the characters are facing one long journey filled with mysteries and dangers and while the novel was a real page-turner, I feel like it's an introduction for what's to come. The chess pieces have been set in place and I honestly can't wait to see the big battle unfold. I was really dumbstruck by the cliffhanger conclusion and I just feel there is a lot more to discover than the bits Armstrong gave us. I don't know when book 2 will release, but I hope I'll get an early copy because the wait might just kill me.

blown engine
I have a 1979 chevy truck with an 8 cylinder small block. I was going down the highway and my engine just blew. I found a piece of tinfoil with cardboard on and what looked like a filler cap in the hole where the engine oil goes. It was just laying in there loosely. I think someone might have put it in there to make my engine blow, or a kid put it in there for a prank when I left the hood open for a while.
Is it possible that that would have caused my engine to blow?
Welcome to the site, I don't really think with it just laying loose in the valve cover breather hole it would blow your engine, Something else must have given up somewhere in the engine. JMO did it have any oil in the engine ? any sounds before it went south on you ?
Now, if something had been poured into the engine to contaminate or dilute the motor oil for example, THAT could have caused it to fail.
When you drain the oil, pay attention to its appearance (thin or thick, normal color or not) and the smell (like gasoline or some other solvent), and check the oil for having sand or some other substance in it, other than some metal debris from the engine failure itself.
Thanks for the feedback
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and im sure the oil level was good.
Would it be possible then that the oil return hole in the head might have been blocked causing the engine to starve for oil? What would have been the signs of this happening? Wouldn't oil have poured out all over the engine? And burned on the exhaust?
It seems very unlikely that anything like that could result in engine failure since there are several places under the valve cover that would allow the oil to return back to the pan. I have personally seen engines with more than one of these little under cap seals from oil jugs under a filler cap. And never has it caused engine failure, that I am aware of. The most likely occurrences are oil pump failure, oil pump cavitation from lack of oil or driving in the wrong gear, oil pump pick up tube separation from pump, and or over revving the engine for a prolonged period of time. Usually when these things happen the connecting rod bearings in the center of the motor seize on the crank first resulting in a deep knocking sound and spun bearings. Careful inspection of the oil pump at dis-assembly would be advisable. Secondly a careful look at the cooling system would be in order.

Next year, how about no Anna?
To use an overworked network term, 2002 is going on hiatus. So what better time to reflect on the very good and the very bad that television served up in the past year.
Best trend: Networks displaying a whole lot more patience before sending series to Cancellationville. Previously, critically acclaimed but low-rated shows such as 'Boomtown' might have been history by now. But NBC is hanging on, hoping an audience eventually will discover the crime-solving drama set in Los Angeles.
Worst trend: That E! refuses to cancel the depressing and downright weird 'Anna Nicole Show.'
Best example of a show that deserves another chance: Viewers eventually will find Fox Broadcasting's offbeat 'Andy Richter Controls the Universe.'
Worst example of a David E. Kelley show: Fox was there when Kelley's remarkable string of successes ran out. 'Girls Club,' purportedly a cross
between 'L.A. Law' and 'Ally McBeel,' was booted after only a couple of showings.
Best former Oprah pal who struck gold: 'Dr. Phil' dishes out tough love with a more telegenic touch than Laura Schlesinger displayed during her short-lived television adventure.
Worst example of a personality change: Rosie O'Donnell, once known as the Queen of Nice for the softball questions she lobbed on her afternoon talk show, mutated into the Queen of Mean upon leaving the set.
Best comeback: David
Caruso, finally, on the highly rated 'CSI: Miami.'
Worst comeback: Phil Donahue, whose little-noticed return to television on MSNBC has gone so poorly that he's now television's 'other Phil.'
Best network shuffle: NBC's acquisition of Bravo, a semi-highbrow cable network. Bravo might help NBC snap out of a cable-spinoff slump marked by microscoping ratings for MSNBC and CNBC.
Worst network potential shuffle: ABC's aborted talks with David Letterman, who would have replaced Ted Koppel and 'Nightline.' Fortunately, this idea didn't float.
Best drama series: A tie between '24' on Fox and 'The Sopranos' on HBO.
Worst drama: ABC's 'Dinotopia,' which, thankfully, has
also become extinct.
Best sitcom: 'Everybody Loves Raymond' on CBS.
Worst sitcom: 'Hidden Hills' on NBC.
Best show we loved to hate: ABC's 'The Bachelor.'
Worst show we used to love: CBS' 'Survivor.'
Best drawn-out off-screen drama Whether 'Friends' will return for another season. This week, NBC announced that it will.
Worst drawn-out off-screen drama: The Trent Lott apology tour, which took him everywhere by Fox Sports Network.
Best example of watchable shows that would be a lot more watchable if they weren't crammed with commercials: 'Behind the Music' on VH1 and 'True Hollywood Story' on E!
Worst example of a sporting event: 'Celebrity Boxing' on Fox, which featured Tonya Harding clubbing the overmatched Paula Jones.

Re: st: Statistical significance of standardized rates

This usage is completely inappropriate. I doubt that you need direct
standardization, but to know that you should learn something about the
technique, including what a "standard population" is and what "stratum"
means. The manual is a good place to start and the topic is covered in
every epidemiology text. Some kind of regression program--logistic or
Poisson, may be better suited to your needs. For us to advise, you'd
have to provide a description of your study. Also, when you present
results, follow the FAQ dictate to show us exactly what you typed (not a
"summary") and all the results.

Hi Nick,
I also noticed that the confidence intervals have zero length. Here is
a summary of the dstdize I ran:
dstdize x pop a b c d, by(quartiles)
- x is mortality, a dichotomous 1/0
- pop is the entire population in my data set
- a, b, c, d are a mix of continuous and dichotomous variables
- quartiles is the quartile group that each member of the population
falls into based on a continuous variable "e" that is not included in
the a,b,c,d being standardized by.
Is this an appropriate use of the command?
Thank you,

st: Probit Regression Model with many interaction terms

st: Probit Regression Model with many interaction terms
Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:29:46 -0500
Dear all,
I am trying to run a probit regression model with more than one
interaction term (STATA10).
The dependent variable is a binary dummy "y"(y=1 or 0), on the right
hand side, I interact all explanatory variables x1, x2, x3 with a
female dummy (1 or 0) and want to get coefficients for these
interaction terms.
the OLS regression STATA codes are following:
reg y x1 x2 x3 female x1_female x2_female x3_female
note: there're three interaction terms in my model,
and x1, x2, x3 can be either continuous or dummy.
Just wonder how to do this in a probit model.
ps: I've tried "inteff" command, but 'inteff' seems dealing with the
probit model with one interaction term, but not many.
please let me know if anything unclear.

Submitting DNA Templates for Sanger Sequencing
Number of samples:
- Fewer than 21: may be submitted in microfuge tubes. Tubes should be clearly marked with initials and sample number (eg. AB1, AB2, AB3, etc.).
- More than 21 samples: must be submitted in a 96 well plate. Wells A01 and B01 should be left empty. The plate should be loaded by columns, i.e. fill C01 through H01, then A02 through H02, A03 through H03, etc.
Template DNA:
- The templates should be dissolved in Elution Buffer lacking EDTA. Alternatively, a modified TE buffer with 0.1 mM EDTA can be used.
- Plasmid DNA: should be supplied at a concentration of 20-200 ng/µl. Typically 20‑100 ng is used for each sequencing reaction.
- PCR Products: should be supplied at a concentration of 4-20 ng/µl. Typically 10‑50ng is used for each sequencing reaction. PCR products must be purified before cycle sequencing to remove excess primers and enzyme. This service can be provided by AGTC.
- Cosmids and Fosmids: should be supplied at a minimum concentration of 200 ng/µl. Each sequencing reaction requires 1 µg of fosmid/cosmid template.
- AGTC has a number of standard primers on hand (see primer list). If a template-specific primer is required, it should be provided at 5-10 µM concentration.
- Note: AGTC uses 3.2 pmol of primer in each sequencing reaction.
Completed sequencing reactions.
- If sequencing reactions have been performed the client and are being submitted for RUN ONLY, it is best to submit the samples as dry pellets (if ethanol precipitation has been used to clean up sequencing reactions).
- If another method of cleanup has been performed, we can add Hi-Di formamide to a final concentration of 25%.

Freshman guard Olivier Hanlan scored 19 points, including the game-winning free throw with 19 seconds remaining, and Boston College snapped a three-game losing streak with a 50-49 victory over Auburn on Thursday afternoon at Conte Forum.
Auburn senior guard Frankie Sullivan (23 points, eight rebounds) had tied the game on a four-point play with 46 seconds left. Hanlan then was fouled driving the lane, and he hit the first of two for the winning point.
On Auburn's final possession, Sullivan was stripped by Joe Rahon and Hanlan while trying to shoot the ball with four seconds left. Auburn senior center Rob Chubb (12 points) dove to the floor with Rahon as the ball headed out of bounds and got it back to Sullivan, but Sullivan's 30-foot heave at the buzzer bounced off the front of the rim.
Rahon said he was seeking redemption on BC's final defensive stand after fouling Sullivan on his four-point play.
"I knew they were going to go to him, they would go to [Sullivan] on the last play," Rahon said. "He was my man and I just knew I had to get a stop to make up for that boneheaded play I made. [Hanlan] came in, had a great help. We jarred the ball loose and we were able to get a stop when we needed."
Hanlan was the only Eagle to shoot the ball well, hitting 7-of-11 shots. He also had six rebounds. Rahon, his classmate and backcourt mate, finished with 15 points.
When Hanlan scored on a drive down the middle of the lane with 3:56 left to extend BC's lead to seven, 47-40, the Eagles (2-3) appeared to have the game in control. But Auburn (2-3) answered with a Noel Johnson 3-pointer and two free throws from Chubb to draw within a pair, 47-45 with 1:52 left.
BC then missed a 3-pointer but got another possession when Eddie Odio came down with an offensive rebound. Rahon made it count, hitting a nice reverse lauyup with 1:03 left to make it a four-point game.
However, Rahon then fouled Sullivan while he hit a 3-pointer. The four-point play tied the game at 49 with 46 seconds left.
The game was tight throughout. With 12:14 remaining, BC led 35-32 after a layup by Sullivan drew Auburn within three. BC then hit consecutive 3-pointers (Patrick Heckmann and Rahon), which in this game constituted a major run. That gave the hosts a 41-32 advantage. Auburn went almost five minutes without a point, failing to score again until 7:22 remained, when Sullivan hit two free throws following three BC fouls in three seconds.
Auburn led by a point at the half, 26-25, after Sullivan drilled a 3-pointer with a second left. The Eagles shot an impressive 5-of-12 from 3-point range in the period but just 4-for-16 on shots inside the arc, and 2-of-6 on free throws. The starting trio of Ryan Anderson, Dennis Clifford and Lonnie Jackson combined to shoot 0-for-10.
Anderson, who missed the Eagles' last game with an injured foot, struggled in this one. He had a poor shooting night and battled foul trouble in the second half. With 16:30 left, he was headed to the bench after picking up his third foul when he got his fourth on a technical foul for arguing with Auburn guard Shaquille Johnson. He returned with 6:31 left but fouled out less than two minutes later with three points and seven rebounds. He missed all five of his field goal attempts and hit 3-of-6 free throws.
The game was listed as a non-bracketed (and predetermined) game of the Charleston Classic. BC went 0-3 in the three games in South Carolina, while Auburn went 1-2 there.
The Eagles next host Bryant on Sunday at 2 p.m.

This kurti style has already been in fashion before it appeared on the stage of Lakme fashion week. The new designer kurti has the look and feel of a poncho with two sides hanging loosely. This particular creation by Payal Singhal is perfect in its simplicity and the contract of aqua and beige is quite interesting.

For all the racial adversity the Unites States have faced, they still elected a minority to head a major party and their country. When it comes to honouring their heroes, American cynosure comes in all colours. Canada could stand to learn a thing or two from this particular slice of Americana which fosters a more inclusive, more perfect Union. In Canada, the archival whitewash persists.

Synopsis :
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security
Description :
A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session IDs from ServerHello
messages of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use this
flaw to send an excessively long session ID value, which would trigger
a buffer overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client application using
GnuTLS, causing the client application to crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3466)
It was discovered that the asn1_get_bit_der() function of the libtasn1
library incorrectly reported the length of ASN.1-encoded data.
Specially crafted ASN.1 input could cause an application using
libtasn1 to perform an out-of-bounds access operation, causing the
application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
Multiple incorrect buffer boundary check issues were discovered in
libtasn1. Specially crafted ASN.1 input could cause an application
using libtasn1 to crash. (CVE-2014-3467)
Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in libtasn1's
asn1_read_value() function. Specially crafted ASN.1 input could cause
an application using libtasn1 to crash, if the application used the
aforementioned function in a certain way. (CVE-2014-3469)
For the update to take effect, all applications linked to the GnuTLS
or libtasn1 library must be restarted.
