28 May - 2 October 2011
This exhibition from the Bethlem Royal Hospital Collection showcases the work of English Victorian painter Richard Dadd, noted for his depictions of fairies and other supernatural subjects, Orientalist scenes, and enigmatic genre scenes, rendered with obsessive details. The exhibition traces his journey through the Middle East and the onset of his illness, his work while at Bethlem Royal Hospital and his later work at Broadmoor.
This exhibition explores the life and work of one of the most fascinating Victorian visionaries - Richard Dadd (1817-1886).
Works from the Bethlem Art and History Collections Trust, West London Mental Health NHS Trust and private collections are brought together to chart Dadd's early career, travels to Europe and the Middle East, descent into madness and work created while at Bethlem and Broadmoor Hospitals.
Dr. Nicholas Tromans, author of Richard Dadd: The Artist and the Asylum, published this July, states:
"Richard Dadd was one of the great Victorian painters, but spent his career in psychiatric hospitals, or as they were then known, lunatic asylums. An artist of extraordinary imagination from a young age, he was a specialist in fairy subjects before a tour of the Middle East triggered the onset of a mental illness that led him to kill his father. At Bethlem Hospital and then at Broadmoor, Dadd continued to work as an artist, creating haunting images combining bold imaginative leaps with the most delicate of miniaturist's techniques. His art today presents both a beautiful mystery and a fascinating case study in the history of psychiatry."
To complement the exhibition, young people with disabilities who attend the gallery's regular Octagon group have worked with a professional artist to create a collaborative work inspired by Dadd's famous fairy paintings. This project has been generously supported by the Double O Charity.

Diamond in the Rough
For better or for worse, Dustin "Screech" Diamond's image is etched into the memories of most 20- and 30-somethings like a fading jailhouse tattoo. His high-pitched, adenoidal voice echoes through the collective unconscious, haunting our waking hours and running down the high school halls of our darkest nightmares. On Saved by the Bell he served as a foil for all the wacky antics that Zack, Slater and the rest of the kids pulled off at Bayside High. His character, while seemingly insignificant, was in fact pivotal: a Puck to Zack's Oberon. Dustin Diamond's life and career after the series has been almost Shakespearian as well. It's a rollercoaster of ups and downs, mostly downs. He pulled off a hilarious self-referential cameo in Made in 2002, still cool enough to get into an exclusive nightclub ahead of Vince Vaughn, then dropped off the radar screen. Most assumed he had gone the way of a lot of former child stars and just given up. Next thing you know, he's on Howard Stern begging for money to save his house. Well, it appears that Diamond hasn't abandoned comedy after all. He's now touring the country with a stand-up act that has some critics shocked by its quality and others shocked that he's still alive. Check him out Thursday through Saturday at Hyena's Comedy Night Club, 605 Houston St. in Fort Worth. Call 817-877-5233 or visit hyenascomedynightclub.com for details.

From what I am told the only main diffeence is the CAM. Also I am told they both have steel cranks now. Mine has awesome low end torque.

Washington A wrenching national search for solutions to the violence that left 20 children dead in Newtown, Connecticut, all but ended on Wednesday after the Senate defeated several measures to expand gun control.
In rapid succession, a ban on assault weapons, a ban on high-capacity gun magazines and a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks for gun purchasers all failed to get the 60 votes needed under an agreement between both parties. Senators also turned back Republican proposals to expand permission to carry concealed weapons and to focus law enforcement efforts on prosecuting gun crimes.
Sitting in the Senate gallery with other survivors of recent mass shootings and their family members, Lori Haas, whose daughter was shot at Virginia Tech, and Patricia Maisch, a survivor of the mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, shouted together, "Shame on you". President
Opponents of gun control from both parties said they made their decisions based on logic, and that passions had no place in the making of momentous policy. "Criminals do not submit to background checks now," said Republican Senator Charles E. Grassley. "They will not submit to expanded background checks."
It was a striking defeat for one of Mr Obama's highest priorities, on an issue that has consumed much of the country since
Faced with a decision either to remove substantial new gun restrictions from the bill or to allow it to fall to a filibuster next week, Senate leaders plan to put it on hold after a scattering of votes on Thursday.
Senator Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, the majority leader and a longtime gun rights advocate who had thrown himself behind the gun control measures, is expected to pull the bill from the Senate floor and move on to an internet sales tax measure, then an overhaul of immigration policy, which has better prospects.
More than 50 senators including a few Republicans, but lacking a handful of Democrats from more conservative states, had signalled their support for the gun bill, not enough to reach the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster.
Democratic leadership aides said the effort could be revived if there was a public groundswell. "The world is watching the United States Senate, and we will be held accountable," said Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, who helped lead the gun control effort.
But with the families of Sandy Hook students in the Senate gallery and a flurry of gun rights phone calls flooding Senate offices, it was hard to imagine how much more emotion could be brought to bear. Aides to senators supporting the bill said that only outside circumstances, like another mass shooting, might cause those who voted no to reconsider their positions.
"It's almost like you can see the finish line, but you just can't get there," said Andrew Goddard, whose son, Colin, was shot but survived the mass shooting at Virginia Tech. "It's more annoying to be able to see it and not get to it."
Mr Obama who avoided the gun issue in his first term and focused on proposals he thought had a better chance of passing, only to seize on expansive measures after the Newtown shootings made last-ditch appeals to senators.
Standing in the Rose Garden next to former Republican Gabrielle Giffords and other victims of gun violence, Mr Obama flashed anger as he said that the gun rights lobby had wilfully lied about the legislation, and that Republicans and Democrats had caved to pressure.
"But, this effort is not over," he said.
For now, the gun rights lobby has proved more persuasive.
The National Rifle Association mobilised members to blanket the Senate with phone calls, emails and letters. The group also spent $US500,000 on Wednesday alone, on an advertising campaign criticising Mr Obama's gun ban and using Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a deep-pocketed gun control advocate, as a foil.
Tell your senator to listen to America's police instead of listening to Mr Obama and Mr Bloomberg, the ad said.

IMHO there are too many firmware revisions, too many flaws and not

For example, the Linksys WRT54G comes in 4 families with 10 hardware

OK, I promise not to post any other remix of Hercules and Love Affair's 'My House' after this one, but one just can't ignore Tensnake. This eight minute long remix puts the HOUSE (CAPSLOCK NECESSARY) in 'My House', making it sound even more classic than ever before, if that was possible. While my favorite part of the song - the undecipherable vocal bits - is replaced by Tensnake's own cut of the vocals, the new synths totally won me over.
Hercules and love Affair - My House (Tensnake Remix)
And since we're talking about house, we simply can't ignore one of house's first big names: Derrick Carter. Not especially the type of music I like, but I'll put it out here and let someone else to love and make good use of it. How generous of me!

Pay gap influenced by low applications, says research
Published: 18 Mar 2013
Women are underrepresented in high-paying jobs because they don't apply for them, according to new research.
Workplace discrimination at the point of hiring is a factor but many women choose not to apply for higher-paying positions because of 'preconceived notions' of job roles.
This research came from Professor Roxana Barbulescu of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, who said: "Women are taking themselves out of the running for certain jobs. When they evaluate different possible career tracks they already have the assumption that their applications may be unsuccessful.

Crack has made its way from Brooklyn to Canada over the years. Christina Tosi and the team at Momofuku are making sure an addictive namesake crosses the border, too -- and no authority is giving them a hard time. The Crack Pie, which is a sugar high, has become one of New York's most celebrated dessert items. It is among the habit-forming treats available at the newly opened Momofuku Milk Bar in Toronto.
It's not only the most anticipated restaurant opening in Toronto in recent memory, it may be the one notable event that finally gets Canada taken seriously as a culinary destination around the world. I'm talking about the opening of Momofuku. Toronto has many above-average restaurants and a handful of excellent ones. It's culinary scene has fallen short of greatness, however. With Chang's venture now in town that seems about to change.

1. Your "collections" started out innocently enough.
What is seven empty bottles, really?
2. Then you made a *small* jump into container collection.
Clearly these are being used for, like, storage, and bowling, and…
3. But then your car actually became your outdoor closet.
Or trash can, but it's really no one's business.
4. And now you have so many cats they literally just pour out of your house.
But they like it!
5. You own every single record ever recorded.
And listen to literally none of them, but you will!
6. This is now your basement and you don't think it's one bit creepy.
It's not like a body is buried in here, it's fine.
7. Your favorite time of day is releasing all 100 of your guinea pigs.
They don't have names because there are too many. Each one is just called Guinea Pig.
8. You're no longer allowed in hotels for obvious reasons.
In all fairness, this is really economical.
9. Your living room is where dolls come to die.
But now you have a roomful of best friends.
10. Having just one puppy wasn't enough.
Nor was two, or three, or six…
11. And this is what your place looks like after a little reorganizing.
Super cozy. Just so, so cozy.
And when you empty your desk drawer it looks like this.
You literally don't need this many phones. Sell them to Gazelle for a chance to win $1M!

¡Cuánto duele crecer, cuan hondo es el dolor de alzarse en puntillas y observar con temblores de angustia, esa cosa tremenda, que es la vida del hombre! - René Marqués
Out of all my guns, believe it or not the one I probably have the most fun with is my blued Ruger MKIII Target. I can shoot all afternoon on the cheap, get a lot of trigger practice and "plink" at anything that ain't movin'. And it runs 100% of the time.
Favorite ??? That's really hard to tell. I think it changes as much as the weather does.
I don't have it yet, but once I find out what kind of ammo it likes, my favorite will be the M&P 15/22 I've got on layaway now.
$30 can either be turned into 100 rounds of .40 for me, or 80 rounds of 7.62x39, or 100 rounds of cheap 12 gauge, or around 1100 rounds of .22lr instead.

Any of the 22 pistols I have and the sp101..
Current collection: Too many according to the wife...
My favorite range gun is my .22 Marlin Rifle. It's cheap to shoot and a ton of fun to shoot out at 100 yards. I love shooting my 9mm Sigma, but it costs a lot more. If I weren't buying a sub compact 9mm for carry I would be looking into a .22 handgun.
I LOVE a pump shotgun.
And anything new.
How about that Sig Mosquito? Cheap and fun.
Also practice with a carry firearm, that's just a feel good thing.
My favorite is probably a Liberty 44-40 with 4 5/8 barrel, or a pair of them actually. Basically they are Colt Peacemaker clones.
They are just fun to shoot. You can go through a lot of rounds if you want, but only 6 at a time, and you can shoot hundreds of rounds without getting fatiqued. Mostly I shoot at old propane bottles set from 10-15 yrds all the way out to maybe 30-35 yds.
This caliber is what made me start to reload because factory rounds are anywhere from 25 to 40 bucks for 50. That got pretty expensive, 6 bucks for 50 makes it much more fun to shoot.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

S&W Model 41. It is so much fun to shoot and did I mention cheap. (22 LR).
Favorite range rifle is a Springfield Model 1922AII in .22 Long Rifle. Right behind it would be a Smith & Wesson Model 17 with 8 3/8-inch barrel, also in .22 Long Rifle.
I like my M&P 40S&W but I love shooting my fathers S&W Model 19-2 .357mag snubbie... I like it with either the .357magnum rounds or just shooting regular .38spl. Not alot of kick from the .357mag and no kick from the .38's It is such a wll balanced gun it is easily controllable.

Colt Government .38Super. Such a pleasant round in a heavy gun with a single action trigger. Lots of fun.
Sig 226 X-five in 9mm is by far my favorite range gun. Its a tack driving machine!

The latest work to 'turn off the taps' in the brain and stop a chemical being released in excess amounts – which can lead to Parkinson's Disease – will be presented at The British Pharmacological Society's Summer Meeting in Edinburgh.
Dr Susan Duty from King's College London will present her latest work, aimed at stimulating 'trigger points' to stop the release of a chemical that can kill brain cells, at a special symposium that focuses on research into new types of drugs for treating disorders of the central nervous system.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative brain disorder that is triggered by death or degeneration of nerve cells in a part of the brain called substantia nigra. This brain region is essential in maintaining normal movement so when the cells start to die off, patients lose ability to properly execute and control movements.
Dr Duty is aiming to find a way to slow down, stop or, even better, reverse the cell death process.
She says one of the contributing factors to nerve cell death is an excess of the chemical glutamate in the motor control pathways in the brain. An excess of this chemical changes the way these pathways operate and makes movement even less well controlled.
But more importantly, glutamate is one of the factors considered responsible for the demise of the brain cells.
At the symposium, which will be attended by leading UK and international pharmacologists, Dr Duty will be presenting her latest work on ways to stop glutamate being released.
Dr Duty said: "The way we hope to achieve this is by stimulating protein targets on the nerve cell called metabotropic glutamate receptors. Certain types of these receptors, when stimulated, are known to prevent release of glutamate in other brain regions. We, and others, have now taken these ideas into regions relevant to Parkinson's disease in the hope of reversing both the clinical signs and cell death associated with this condition."
Dr Duty says that current drugs can only treat the symptoms but not the underlying cause of the disease: "They provide relief of symptoms by replacing the chemical, dopamine, which the dying cells would normally secrete in order to maintain proper control of movement.
"However, they do little to combat the ongoing progressive cell death meaning that symptoms get worse, higher doses of drug are needed to control the worsening symptoms, the result being appearance of disabling side-effects such as involuntary flailing limb movements and painful twisting of joints.
"Given the disease is progressive in nature, the continued death of cells in the substantia nigra leads to gradual worsening of symptoms and decline in patients' quality of life over time. Finding drugs that can provide protection or repair to the dying cells – as well as relieve the clinical signs of Parkinson's – is therefore a key area of interest in this field."
Dr Duty and colleagues have recently published findings showing that stimulating certain classes of metabotropic glutamate receptor can reverse symptoms in a preclinical model of Parkinson's disease.
"More recently, we have identified which specific type of receptor is involved," she says. "By targeting specific receptors it is hoped that side-effects will be minimised as fewer targets elsewhere in the brain will be stimulated.
"We also have good evidence now that stimulating these receptors can provide protection to the dopamine-containing nerve cells in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease and that the protected nerve cells function normally and are able to help restore movement control."
The BPS Summer Meeting will be held at The University of Edinburgh from Wednesday 8 to Friday 10 July 2009.
It brings together leading pharmacologists from the UK, Europe and beyond, with presentations on the latest pharmacological developments to tackle a range of conditions, including respiratory disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke and atherosclerosis.
Dr Duty will give a presentation – 'Group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) as potential targets for the treatment of Parkinson's disease' – at a symposium entitled 'Metabotropic glutamate receptors: advancing novel drugs for treating CNS disorders' on Wednesday 8 July 2009.

On the Unexpected Psychedelic Pill
posted by Tom on October 31, 2012 at 5:29 pm
in Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Psychedelic Pill, Walk Like a Giant
This week I did a short review of Neil Young's Psychedelic Pill on NPR's All Things Considered. To check it out, click here.
When you look at Neil Young's entire discography, a record like the just released Psychedelic Pill registers as decidedly second-tier. A two-disc studio foray with Crazy Horse, it's destined to be compared with a raft of sharper, more rousing albums from the Young heyday, whichever heyday you like. There are flashes of brilliance in the songwriting and the playing, along with moments that are the musical equivalent of muscle-flexing. One of them is the marathon "Walk Like A Giant," which can seem like a parody of the feedback-surfing detours of '90s Crazy Horse – or the too-earnest effort of old guys determined to show they can still "do it." Whatever "it" is.
Putting together the short excerpts for the radio, I was struck by Young's unusual situation: All he has to do is whip up a familiar verse/chorus structure, decked out with the chord progressions that he's used since Buffalo Springfield days, and his faithful will be able to tap into what he's saying. The sound acts as a kind of bridge -- even when he's ranting, his listeners, whose ears have been tuned by years of exposure to Rust Never Sleeps and Sleeps With Angels and all the rest, will be able to relate. That's not a negative – somehow Young, like Dylan and very few others, has found a bandwidth that allows him to communicate effectively in the present moment, while gently tickling the memory lobes of his audience. His approach to working the myth is completely different from that of, say, Rod Stewart: It's possible to be entirely aware of all the elements Young is rehashing and still be in awe of where he goes and how he and his crew get there. With Young and Crazy Horse, you happily take the journey even if you already know where they're going and the general route they'll follow.

IT Placement - Know When to Hire Employee, Contractor or Consultant
When it comes to IT placement, combining short and long-term resources can help you and your company in reaching your goals.
Luckily, we now live in a time when there exist a variety of ways to address your resourcing needs. Such solutions can include a variety of employees, consultants and contractors. The following example will define in what situation and combinations your firm might utilize them.
Scenario: You have a capital project approved that must be completed by year end. The IT management has decided to transition to the Agile development methodology which has not been used before in your environment.
Challenge: how do you staff the project with minimal impact to the long term budget?
Position: Agile Coach
Resource Type: Consultant
A consultant can be utilized across multiple projects to train the development teams in Agile. Benefits of this resourcing solution are that the training received by your staff will most likely be current and relevant and that once the project is complete, the consultant is done as well, with no further cost to you. The drawback to this resource type is often a higher short-term cost for the consultant.
Position: Team Leads
Resource Type: Mix of employees and contractors
Utilize strong employees who are accepting of change and integrate them in a team environment with contractors that are experienced in Agile. This plan not only provides a secondary way to train your employees in Agile, but also provides productive resources that will not have to carry over to the next year.
Position: Team Members
Resource Type: Mix of employees and contractors
The percentage of contractors to employees will be based on your corporate environment. What are the skills required temporarily for this project and what are the long-term skills needed to support your business? For instance, your capital project might need extra database skills for the term of the project but already have enough employees already for ongoing support. Some testing resources will need to be from your employee pool to transfer environment knowledge to other testers so quality will remain high. Adjust the percentage of employee to contractor as you review your long-term goals.
When it comes to IT placement, combining short and long-term resources can help you and your company in reaching your goals. Work with a firm that specializes in IT Staffing Services that can help develop and implement a resourcing plan that will provide the right mix of resourcing types for your company.

Three Things Your Customers Won't Tell You Unless You Ask offers excellent advice to help you improve your business and relationship with your clients. Here are the three things from the Freelance Folder entry and I add a fourth because it ensures your business receives effective testimonials:
Item #3 feels awkward. It comes across more like a statement — "Go tell others about my business." I suggest replacing "should" with "would" and see what happens. Maybe they will provide contacts or it'll compel them to tell others on their own.
I think you made some interesting points about the way people need to deal with their customers. Especially as a designer, I think #3 is critical. I recently watched an interview between Fox and the president of Mindshare. In this interview they talked about how customers now a days, have so much power with who they talk to (good or bad). So although #3 would be awkward, it is important.

Skin lightening creams for men can improve the quality of their skin by reducing visibility of brown spots, blemishes skin discoloration patches and age spots. Traditionally men did not care too much for skin lightening products but now they're more interested in this. Men should consider skin lightening products because these products not only lighten skin but also reduce wrinkles for a better appearance, especially for men with severe sun damage. This is because many men don't use sunscreen for protection. When you shop for skin lightening products as a man, look for skin lightening products which have ingredients such as kojic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, mulberry extract and lactic acid. Another thing you should do is be sure that the skin lightening products are safe to use on your skin as some of the products may have ingredients that are toxic such as mercury. Some safe skin lightening ingredients include alpha arbutin, glycolic acid and licorice extract.
Natural Skin Lighteners
If you're dark-skinned and you're looking for a good skin lightening product, there are ways you can lighten your skin in a safe but effective way. Licorice extract-based skin lightening products and jojoba oil can work together for effective skin lightening. But you want to add water to the oil and extract when using this mixture. You can also combine tomato leaf oil, sesame oil and sandalwood oil along with milk on a daily basis to gradually lighten your skin. Another idea is to make a mixture of papaya, lemon juice and mashed cucumber then put it on your skin.
Growing Demand
According to recent analyses from various marketing research companies and health experts, there is a growing global increase in the demand for skin lightening products by men around the world, especially in Asia.
In India for example, more men from smaller cities are viewing skin lightening treatments as their means of finding the best job and marriage partners. And in China, there also seems to be a growing desire to get skin lightening products by men than in previous decades.
If you're a man with hyperpigmentation problems it would be a good idea to talk with your dermatologist about your options for treating your condition with skin lightening treatments. You should mention some symptoms you're experiencing, how long you've had the problem and how long do you intend to use the skin lightening treatments. Your dermatologist can recommend some effective skin lightening products that will reduce the hyperpigmentation in your skin.

UT-College of Charleston Post-Game QuotesTennessee Head Coach Bruce Pearl
"Obviously, what's ailing us is not fixed yet. Charleston is a good team. They had a chance to beat Maryland their very first game. They lost by 5 at North Carolina. (Andrew) Goudelock is a great player who averages 24 a game and had 31 tonight. Defensively is probably our greatest challenge. In games we've gotten beat, guards have taken advantage of us. Tonight, College of Charleston's guards took full advantage of us.
"They're obviously great 3-point shooters you have to press out and guard. College of Charleston shoots better from the 3 than they do from the 2. It's ungodly how far you've got to come out on them and they also have the ability to turn corners.
"The areas where they set the ball screen out front are the areas where we have great challenges. I don't think I have to worry about scouting anymore. Pittsburgh ran their set ball screens on the sides, and we guarded those well. Center ball screens are the area we have a hard time with, and that's an area Charleston specializes in. Guarding center ball screens involve guys who can move their feet. If you think about 180-degree angle, and from the side think about a 90-degree angle. On one area, we've been able to wall off, and on the other area we haven't been able to wall off as well.
"Our energy level hasn't been good since we came back. We've had one practice and two games in this five-day stretch. I don't think we have had good energy.
"The decisions as far as personnel are concerned moving forward will come down to the guys who can defend and move their feet will play. The guys who can't, won't. We'll shorten the rotation and make some tough decisions. It will simply come down to guys who can defend and rebound.
"In the 7-0 stretch, we had 14 halves of basketball and held opponents to less than 50 percent (shooting) in 12 of 14 times. The others were the second half at Pittsburgh when the game was well in control, and the first half against a really good Belmont team. Other than that, every half was considerably less than 50 percent. The last four of five games, that's just not been the case.
"I thought our fans were great tonight. Even though we were down, I thought our fans continued to applaud effort plays. I thought they were great. I'm sure they're frustrated. It's been a tough 24 hours for our fans. I thought they were great. I appreciate them hanging in with us."
On being ejected ..."I was just trying to get (assistant coach) Tony Jones some reps. Historically, I've only been ejected three times. I was ejected once at Southern Indiana in the last regular season game of the year at home. I was ejected once in Chicago at UIC early in the second half. And once here. I wasn't talking to the official when I was ejected, so that's what I was surprised about."
College of Charleston Head Coach Bobby Cremins
"It was a great win. We played some great basketball and shot eyes out. Our guards, (Andrew) Goudelock and (Donavan) Monroe, were tremendous. (Antwaine) Wiggins, a Tennessee native, gave us a great start. We had to hold on, but it was a great win for our program.
"It got tough. A game is 40 minutes, but I feel like I had been out there for six hours. I am worn out, but I am proud of our guys. We hung in there really well and got a great win on the road against a really good opponent.
"I wish I could say we shot like this all the time but we don't. Goudelock is a great scorer, but we shot the ball extremely well. We were ready to play and we just played so well. It is hard for me to explain. This was a really quality win for our program.
"I have great respect for Bruce Pearl and for Tennessee. Obviously, they are going through some tough times right now. They have some problems, but I think they can overcome them. We just shot the eyes out. Sometimes, there is nothing you can do. We made some incredible shots. The way we played today, we could have beaten anybody in the country. I wish we could play like that all the time."

Co-trainer Ken Kelso thanked his attention to detail for Fix's victory in yesterday's $100,000 Cambridge Stud Eight Carat Classic.
On the way to the races Kelso decided he wanted rider Vinny Colgan to ride the well-fancied Fix at the back of the field.
But after watching two lead-up races, Kelso became well aware that the rain-affected conditions had created an on-speed bias.
He decided on opposite tactics.
"Thankfully, we changed things because I had earlier been determined to have her coming from the back of the field.
"That would have been suicide because anything in the second half of the field can't win."
Fix tracked the leaders and finished powerfully to claim the leader The Darling One and win attractively.
Owner Gary Harding, best know of course for his greyhound ownership, thanked Sir Patrick Hogan for his sponsorship and wished Fix would one day end up with even a percentage of the kudos Eight Carat gained in the thoroughbred breeding industry.
Kelso said he was unsure if he will back Fix up in the New Zealand Bloodstock Royal Stakes on New Year's Day.
"After winning this I haven't ruled that race out. I hadn't intended running and there is a strong chance I won't, but it's still there as an option."
Favourite Brave Centaur pulled punters through despite the wet conditions. The instructions trainer Lance Noble gave rider Opie Bosson helped New Zealand's in-form jockey make the decision that was probably a given anyway.
"I don't want him involved in all the backwash," Noble told Bosson.
Leading was the best place to be yesterday and Bosson made his intentions obvious as soon as the field cleared the barriers. The inside horses initially held him out. "He started over-racing as a result, but Opie being Opie, managed to get him back under him."
Brave Centaur did not look comfortable late in the race, but had the class to hold out the opposition.

According to popular intellection, most of us recognize that the fish can spawn only. However, there are also species can give birth, which guppies are an example.
With colorful, vivacious character and very easy to raise, guppies have become popular aquarium fish in the world top. For those who have been breeding guppies, he hardly anyone not experienced a previous experience interesting phenomenon "offspring" of this species.
Guppies are one of the few fish species spawning in the form of fetal oocytes born. After the eggs are fertilized inside the mother's body still lies in individual tubes. Instead of taking nutrients from the mother as born in the form of pregnant animals, in guppies, embryos will develop by nature reserves in the egg yolk.
In terms of breeding aquarium, the guppy breeding place very easily. However, because fish usually born at night and early morning so not everyone is conditioned to witness the birth of guppies.
Here is the picture of the phenomenon of "offspring" in guppies:
After 20 to 30 days pregnant, mother fish carries a "bump" can hold up to 50 fish and ready for delivery. To lay out a group or individual parent can take several hours. Most fish go head first.
But little attention was born with no tail as shown in Fig
About 5 mm long, from the womb, newborn guppies "free fall" down the street or leaves the tank.
After a few minutes, the fry start to become active and swim the first beat.
Instinct teaches us that the dog's tail grass leaf is safe hiding place, and also a source of food initially.
They also understand that a man swimming in the method disturbs the direction of the enemy.
Ironically, with the feeding habits, the first enemy of the fish fry's parents.
Fish newborn to focus on water heating under neon lights. Approximately 40 individuals were infants born in this litter. If alive, after more than a month fry will mature and ready to produce new generations of fish.

Why are ocean trenches the deepest parts of the ocean?
1 Answer | Add Yours
A trench in general results when you dig a hole in the ground which extends for some distance. Imagine you are on top of the grand canyon looking down. What you are seeing is a huge trench that is lower than the surrounding ground.
Now imagine that you are on the bottom of the ocean and the bottom is all flat. Then you would be at the deepest part of the ocean. Now imagine that you have a gigantic plow that can start digging into the bottom of the ocean floor. As you dig you will go lower and lower below the surface of the ocean. In other words you will be going deeper and deeper below the ocean's surface.

Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato welcomed their first child, a baby boy called Noah.
The Feeling Good singer was so excited he shared a picture of his new baby straight from the delivery room.
"Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Buble," wrote Michael. "Born this morning, August 27th at 2:26 am in Vancouver, Canada."
Michael has been on standby about his baby's birth for the past month and cancelled his August 9 appearance on the Today show because of it. "Michael won't be appearing on the Today show this Friday due to the impending birth of his baby," his reps announced on Twitter.
"It's a boy, and he's due at any moment," he later told the Associated Press. "We're close. She had a false alarm a couple days ago, and she had about seven hours of labour. So we know that it could happen at any time."

SEATTLE -- Remaining in Toronto, perhaps through 2010. Watching Cliff Lee become the ace traded to Philadelphia. Then, allowing a season-high 11 hits in record-setting Seattle heat.
Roy Halladay sure wasn't expecting any of this when he woke up Wednesday.
"I'm going to lock myself in a room and hide," the Blue Jays' trade-weary ace deadpanned.
Ken Griffey Jr. doubled twice against Halladay and drove in the decisive runs in the seventh inning, and the Seattle Mariners put more hits on the dominant right-hander than anyone had in 15 months while beating Toronto 3-2.
The Mariners won for the second consecutive time after a four-game losing streak. They got a solo home run from ailing Jose Lopez against Halladay (11-4), whom Toronto had declared open for bidding on the non-waiver trade market that closes Friday afternoon.
• M's acquire SS Wilson, P Snell from Pirates
Rumors ran all morning from Seattle back to Toronto that Halladay would be scratched because of an imminent trade. Then the Phillies, thought to be the front-runners to obtain him, made a deal with Cleveland for Lee instead.
That left reports that Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi, who made the shopping of Halladay public with a huge asking price weeks ago, will now keep Halladay in Toronto through the end of his contract following the 2010 season.
So that's the end of the trade saga?
"For me it is," Halladay said, smiling. "It's important for me to realize that my best chance is going to be [staying] here. ... It's somewhere I like, so that's pretty easy for me."
When asked if he was looking forward to finally being settled -- apparently -- Halladay said: "Absolutely. You never want that kind of circus."
The surprising Mariners were swept by Cleveland last weekend, part of a dreadful four-game losing streak that seemingly ended their hopes of playoff contention.
The 39-year-old Griffey joked that he was able to endure the hottest day ever in Seattle -- 102 degrees -- by staying "inside in the AC and sipping Mountain Dew" as the DH. Then he lobbied first-year manager Don Wakamatsu to waive his rule that players wear ties on road trips.
Yes, the Mariners were cool and comfortable for their flight to Texas.
"Thanks, Skip," Griffey told Wakamatsu, as Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Sweeney celebrated the coup.
Hobbled by a knee that's been surgically repaired and drained since October, Griffey golfed the first pitch he saw from Halladay into the right-field corner in the seventh, after Seattle loaded the bases on three singles. Rookie Michael Saunders scored ahead of Suzuki, after laying down a bunt to start the inning -- part of Wakamatsu's plan to make Halladay work extra in the heat.
Griffey's double tied him with Manny Ramirez for fifth among players since 1954 with his 177th game having at least two extra-base hits. They trail only Barry Bonds (246), Hank Aaron (203), Willie Mays (200) and Sammy Sosa (182).
It also made Halladay a loser for the third time in four decisions.
Ryan Rowland-Smith carried a no-hitter into the seventh in his third start of the season, before Aaron Hill singled leading off. Adam Lind then homered to give Toronto a 2-1 lead.
Rowland-Smith (1-1) angrily stomped and yelled at himself as Lind rounded the bases for the 21st time this season. Yet the Australian left-hander, delayed this season by an elbow injury and an ineffective, extended rehabilitation stint at Triple-A, rebounded to allow just three hits and the two runs in seven innings for his first win since Sept. 27.
David Aardsma walked Hill to begin the ninth, but struck out Lind looking and Scott Rolen swinging before retiring Alex Rios on a fielder's choice for his 25th save in 27 chances.
"That was exciting for me, going to bed last night knowing I was pitching against a guy I really look up to," Rowland-Smith said of Halladay, whom he admires for his tenacity and his endurance in games.
Now, Halladay may finally have some staying power in Toronto.
"For me, [Philadelphia] was never an option. I was going in planning on being a Blue Jay," he said. "And that's how I handled it."
- Halladay last allowed 11 hits in a complete-game loss to Texas on April 17, 2008. His career high in hits allowed is 12.
- INF Jack Wilson arrived in the Mariners' dugout just as Griffey hit his decisive double. "Pretty good first impression," he said. Wilson was acquired by Seattle from Pittsburgh. The deal also sent SS Ronny Cedeno and C Jeff Clement to the Pirates for RHP Ian Snell.

Fragile old letters are the lasting reminders of a young wife's lonely wait. Andrew Stone tells her story
The notepaper, 70 years old, feels soft and fragile. Time has yellowed the pages but the handwriting survives - along with the intimacy that makes the correspondence both sorrowful and captivating.
Here is Roy Herrick, at war in Crete, writing to his new wife Dorothy half the world away in the Auckland suburb of Ellerslie.
The date is May 8 1941. Roy - Second Lieutenant R.S. Herrick, 4th Field Regiment - settles down for the night "with one blanket and an anti-gas cape" and admits to feeling a bit "downhearted".
"I often think," he writes, "when it rains a bit and things get pretty damp that probably one of these days you'll have a bad-tempered husband with sciatica or lumbago as a result of this little show when all these months I could have been nice and warm in bed with you to pet and cuddle and to feel all pink and warm and inviting."
The 26-year-old reached Crete with thousands of other Allied soldiers after they fled Greece before advancing German forces.
Anzac troops, reported Herrick, were "bombed and machinegunned to hell by the dirty Hun who shot down surrendering troops out of ammunition and killed our wounded on the field."
After engaging the Germans in Greece, Herrick had come to loathe the enemy. "I would not now dream of taking a Hun prisoner, even if he were the father of 12 children," he told Dorothy. "We are determined to fight till they are wiped off the face of this earth and the air is clean to breath again and not contaminated by such scum."
Herrick came to love Greece and admire its people. There were no "conscientious objectors or shirkers", he observed , but the "old white-headed men" defended their nation only to be "mown down by the ruthless and mighty German war machine and now the country is enslaved to those Nazi beasts."
He was lucky to survive a pounding in the winter snow high on Greece's Mt Olympus, when a shell exploded "10 feet away", killing one gunner, wounding another but leaving Herrick unscathed. "I'll tell you about that little battle sometime when I feel in the frame of mind to write about it," he promised Dorothy. In one note he enclosed a rose, one of three given to him by an old man in Athens, as the New Zealanders were leaving the country.
Wrote Herrick: "I put them in my gas-mask haversack for safekeeping. I will send them one at a time to you for souvenirs - perhaps they will still have their fragrance when you receive them though the red will have aged to old gold. Fondest love, Roy."
ROY HERRICK grew up in Wellington and was dux at Wellington Technical College. He moved to Auckland and became an Auckland City Council traffic officer before enlisting for service.
In the Army, the bombardier wrote almost constantly to Dorothy, and dreamed of the day when the war would end. "When I return," he concluded in one note, "we will have to start right back from Dec 1939 and gee, won't we move fast. "
He promised, in a note sent from Wellington on January 3, 1940, to compose a page a day, and asked that his dispatches be kept as a diary.
He was a little tipsy when he made the request, because the letter - addressed to 'My Dearest Little Wife"-
is not as careful as his exchanges from the battlefront. "To tell you the truth, " he confides, " I had several drinks in the Sergeant's Mess to try and drown my sorrow." It didn't work: "I find that it is too deep-seated a love for you to be temporarily quelled by vulgar booze."
When he farewelled Dorothy, the couple had been married barely two weeks. They tied the knot at Greenlane Congregational Church on December 15. A week later, Herrick told a white lie to his commanding Army officer when he sought permission to wear civilian dress for four hours on December 23.
"I am to be married on that date and as it is to be a dress wedding I would be most grateful if you will grant me the necessary permission."
Between the first ceremony and the family party, the young couple, both trampers, stayed a couple of nights in a hut in the Waitakeres. At Christmas the newlywed Roy Herrick was back in camp in Ngaruawahia, his young bride at home in Ellerslie, where they lived with her parents.
A day or so later, Herrick caught the train to Wellington and sailed with 6175 troops and 354 officers in a convoy for the Middle East.
The soldiers, part of the Second NZ Expeditionary Force, reached the Suez on February 12, and headed to Maadi Camp near Cairo. More than 70 letters from Herrick to his wife made it back to New Zealand before they stopped coming. The last treasured envelope to reach Dorothy held the five-page note of May 8, 1941. But after that, nothing.
Dorothy filled the emptiness with desperation as she pleaded with military authorities for news of her husband's fate. In mid-1941, the Minister of Defence, Fred Jones, sent a telegram advising with "much regret" that Roy Somerville Herrick, serial number 1498, had been reported missing. Knowing that hundreds of defeated New Zealand soldiers on Crete had been captured by the Germans, Dorothy made inquiries with the Red Cross in Geneva, the clearing house for information about prisoners of war.
The reply, dated February 2, 1942, contained the bleak news that "our records contain no information that might be of interest to you". A year later, after letters Dorothy had sent to her husband were returned, she heard from defence officials at the NZ Military Forces Base Records in Wellington. There was still no word of Roy but equally "no information which would justify Sergeant Herrick being regarded as other than missing."
In August 1943, the records office provided a glimmer of hope, advising that the NZ High Commission in London had been given a German list of British soldiers' graves in Crete. One grave had the number 1490 and the name "Roy Herryck".
The letter went on, in its numbing bureaucratic tone: "The number and name could refer to your husband, but due to the discrepancy in the number and spelling of the surname and, in view of the fact that the name and number of at least one New Zealand soldier who has since been reported safe are also given in the list, the information contained therein cannot be accept(ed) as official."
For the rest of the war, Dorothy lived in dreadful suspense, with nothing for comfort but her cherished cache of letters; clinging to the faint hope that Roy had somehow survived the disastrous Battle of Crete. As late as December 1945, three weeks before Christmas, and long after Germany had surrendered, Base Records still listed him as missing.
On April 24 1946, Defence Minister Fred Jones sent a hand-written telegram to Dorothy. It contained the news she had feared: "Deeply regret to inform you it has now been established that your husband 2/Lt Roy Somerville Herrick was killed in action Crete Second June 1941."
Herrick died at Galatas in north-west Crete, trying to turn back overwhelming numbers of Germans. His final action is cited in the NZ Official War History, where the date is given as May 25. There were five soldiers so caught up engaging enemy snipers that the advance of hundreds of enemy troops through a vineyard caught them unprepared.
Three survived, the war history reported. Roy Herrick and Warrant Officer Leslie Harding were killed.
It took nearly five years for the painful news of Herrick's death to clear the fog of war and reach his patient wife Dorothy on the other side of the world. She knew, finally, the reason that his letters had stopped arriving.
Roy Herrick
Roy Herrick's service is commemorated in two places. His military history is on the Cenotaph Database at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the massive record of more than 120,000 New Zealanders who have died serving their country. His name also can be found at the Phaleron War Cemetery in Athens, inscribed on face 12 of the Athens Memorial. The cemetery honours nearly 3000 members of the land forces of the Commonwealth who lost their lives during the campaigns in Greece and Crete.

Yes, that is correct. St. Josephs College is partnering up once again with a new public school district and will staff its universal pre-kindergarten (UPK) program. Beginning in September 2013, the Westbury Union Free School District's pre-K program will be staffed with St. Josephs College graduates. Much of this initiative comes from Mary Fritz, Ed.D., associate professor of child study and director of SJC's universal pre-kindergarten program, who has been involved with UPK since the College's first partnership with the Patchogue-Medford School District in 2007. Westbury will now be one of four public school districts that work in collaboration with the College. The other three are Patchogue-Medford, and the Freeport and Lawrence school districts in southern Nassau County.
The design, vision and goals of the UPK program are to meet the challenges set forth by the New York State Department of Education to develop a pre-kindergarten program that will align standards, assessment, curriculum and instruction, and will support the beliefs that:
- All children are capable of learning.
- All children develop at different rates.
- Early learning is multi-dimensional, integrated and occurs simultaneously across all domains.
- Regardless of economic, linguistic, cultural differences, physical and/or emotional challenges, all children are entitled to a developmentally appropriate program.
Since the College's beginning in 1916, countless graduates have obtained NYS certificates as teachers in various fields of education. Students who graduated from the child study department in 2013 received four certifications: Early Childhood (birth through grade 2), Childhood (grades 1-6), Students With Disabilities: Early Childhood (birth through grade 2) and Students With Disabilities: childhood (grades 1-6).
When writing a proposal to become the Leading Educational Agency (LEA) for a universal pre-kindergarten program for a particular school district, the aforementioned certifications speak of a rigorous program resulting in well-prepared teacher candidates and history proves that it is such.
In each of the four UPK programs, a co-teaching model is supported by a master teacher with an M.A. in Literacy and Cognition, and a co-teacher with a B.A. in Child Study. Both teachers work together to plan and instruct on a daily basis. The curriculum emphasizes a developmental approach toward children with a strong foundation in child development and good educational practice. Emphasis is placed on practices that are inclusive of children with special needs and acknowledge the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity. Within Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS), the program considers how children acquire knowledge, how they communicate meaning through spoken and written language, how they grow and develop, how they establish positive relationships with adults and peers, and what they need to know and understand about themselves and the world around them. By exploring topics of interest, areas of curiosity, engagement, initiative, persistence and creativity will be developed.
Working closely with the director of the program, St. Josephs College administration, school principals and the central administration of each district are on-site supervisors — faculty members of the child study department who are charged with overseeing the operation of the program in accordance with district requirements, education law and the regulations of the commissioner of education. The on-site supervisors meet with the director and collaborate with teachers to evaluate and support the program goals.
The nicest part of the UPK programs is that we are all part of the St. Joseph's College family. The College's motto, Esse non videri — "To be, not to seem" — is a banner that we wear proudly and is evident in the professional demeanor of each of our teachers, supervisors and staff. One thing that can be certain is that St. Joseph's College is never at a shortage of young, eager, highly motivated graduates seeking to fulfill their dreams of becoming teachers.
On June 19, invited guests and staff of all three programs gathered at the Long Island Campus' McGann Conference Center for the first time to celebrate. Good food, good conversation and lots of music provided everyone with a sense of oneness, which reinforced our purpose and motivated us to continue the college's tradition of educating young children.
If you think the exquisite taste of good food in Freeport is on Guy Lombardi Boulevard, or the music in Westbury is at the theater alone, or the sounds of the ocean are only heard on the shore of Patchogue, and the cultural diversity is only seen in the shops and restaurants of Lawrence, you are mistaken. All of that and more can be seen, heard, tasted and touched in the classrooms of our UPK programs.
Come and see! We promise you an enjoyable day.
Ms. Vitiello is a senior adjunct lecturer for the Long Island Campus' Department of Child Study, and a site supervisor for the Freeport School District's UPK program.

Etrade liquidated my stocks and caused a loss of approximately $3,000.00 when they could have contacted me to pay their unfair account fees with either a credit card or some other means that would not have caused such a loss. I cannot believe that they can get away with this, and i received absolutely no satisfaction after speaking to a "manager" over the phone. It was basically like talking to a wall. I want my stock back at the price they sold it at, but don't know where to go from here. Needless to say I'm closing the account and will tell everyone I possibly could to not use Etrade for anything! I'd like to add that I was a customer for 12 years and this is how i was treated, what a joke this company is.
