Where are they now?
Since their rebirth in the NFL in 1999 the Cleveland Browns have drafted the exact number of players it takes to fill an NFL roster. That's right. Fifty-three players have put on a Cleveland Browns' ball cap on Draft Weekend over the past six years. Taking a look back, it is evident how poor Phil Savage's predecessors were on evaluating talent.
1999 Draft Class
From the first Draft in 1999, only cornerback Daylon McCutcheon is on the Browns' roster.
Tim Couch, the number one overall pick of the Draft, is rehabbing a sore throwing arm and is out of football. Three of the picks are still in the NFL but with different teams. Middle linebacker Wali Rainer just re-signed with the Detroit Lions where he was a backup in 2004. James Dearth is currently the long-snapper for the New York Jets. Wide receiver Kevin Johnson went to the Jaguars when the Browns released him at mid-season in 2003, then to the Ravens who let him go this off-season. It appears that he and Dick Vermeil, who has been courting him for years, will finally get together in Kansas City.
Three of the 1999 draft selections are still playing football, but not in the NFL. Marquis Smith is currently representing the Oakland Raiders in NFL Europe and is playing outside linebacker for the Hamburg Sea Devils. Rahim Abdullah played defensive end for the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL in 2004, and is pondering signing with Ottawa as a free agent in 2005. Darrin Chiaverini is a starting wide-out for the Austin Wranglers in the Arena Football League. Marcus Spears, Kendall Ogle and Madre Hill are all out of football. Madre Hill was hired in December of 2004 to coach the running backs at the University of South Carolina, his Alma Mater.
2000 Draft Class
Five players from the 2000 Draft are still active in the NFL but only receiver Dennis Northcutt and tight end Aaron Shea are still with the Browns.
Brad Bedell recently resigned with the Green Bay Packers where he will compete for a starting offensive line position in 2005. Cornerback Lewis Sanders went to the Jags then back to the Browns. This off-season he re-signed with the Browns, oops wait a minute, he went to Houston as a free agent. After being released this year by the Browns, defensive end Courtney Brown, the 'Quiet Storm' in Cleveland, will attempt to become the 'Raging Blizzard' in Denver. Defensive back Anthony Malbrough and quarterback Spergon Wynn headed north of the border to pursue their trade. Malbrough started for the Ottawa Renegades last year and may sign as a free agent with the Calgary Stampeders for the upcoming season. Wynn has not fared as well. He is the back-up quarterback for the B.C. Lions.
Travis Prentice, JaJuan Dawson, Lamar Chapman, Manuia Savea, Eric Chandler and Rashidi Barnes are no longer playing football. Lamar Chapman is the defensive backfield coach for Nazarene University.

A Guide to Navigating the Battle of Life"All there is is Krishna."Upon hearing this famous and enigmatic line from the Gita's seventh chapter when he was a boy, Ravi Ravindra embarked on a journey to understand its deep meaning.

text: Veganism Nutrition By Susie Burrell 12 May 2014 Q&A With Susie Hi Susie. My kids and grandkids are strictly vegan and dairy free on ethical grounds. They are constantly finding info to refute traditional eating patterns and I am finding it hard to keep justifying our choices. Internationally it seems to be the way of the future with better land use, cheaper costs, organic benefits, reduced greenhouse gasses, less animal cruelty and advanced science overcoming the diet deficiency arguments. What are your thoughts on this trend? Pat, WA Hi Pat, Thank you for your question, it certainly is an interesting one. Decisions such as choosing to be a vegan, and feed your family vegan are complicated and cannot simply be viewed from a nutritional perspective, it is more of an ethical choice, or even a moral decision as opposed to only a health based one. Nutritionally the biggest issue associated with total veganism is a low intake of Vitamin B12, which is crucial for the nervous system and virtually impossible to get from plant sources alone, for small children in particular this is a concern. The human body is very good at absorbing most other nutrients from plant sources, provided the vegan diet is well balanced. The issue with small children is that they require specific nutrients in large amounts and if they are typical fussy eaters, they may not be getting these key nutrients. You're in a difficult position, but all you can do is suggest that the kids are monitored regularly by their GP to ensure there is nothing clearly lacking in their diets based on their growth records and general health and functioning. It is up to an individual as to how they eat - there is no right or wrong answer. However, if veganism is done the right way it can be a nutritious diet, just as long as those key nutrient boxes are ticked. Thanks, Please note: This blog aims to supply user-friendly nutrition information for busy people without comprising on food taste and quality but should be used as a guide only and not in place of advice from your own dietitian or medical specialist.

They want to know if similar clusters are occurring elsewhere and if the condition, known as cranio- synostosis, is becoming more common. A fifth of the Yorkshire cases are thought to be genetic in origin, but a link with pesticides and pollution is also under investigation. Lead contamination has been suggested by some researchers. In Britain there are usually less than 20 cases a year, but 22 babies born over the past 30 months in a small area between York and Selby in North Yorkshire, have been diagnosed with the deformity. Two of the babies have died, one from the condition and the other from complications after corrective surgery.
Dr Jonathan Fear, a consultant in public health medicine at the North Yorkshire Health Authority said last night: 'You do get these things occurring by chance but it is a rare condition and it is a little odd to have so many in one place.'
The authority was alerted to the problem after 17 of the babies were seen by doctors at York District Hospital in a short period; another four were referred to plastic surgeons at St James Hospital, Leeds. Dr Fear and a colleague wrote to The Lancet medical journal last month describing the cluster.
Cranio-synostosis occurs when two or more bones in the skull fuse too early. There are six bones in the skull which 'float' on the brain and expand with it, eventually fusing together. The deformity depends on which bones fuse prematurely. In most cases the problem is largely cosmetic, although in some babies it can be life-threatening.
Jane Durham, 29, from Barlby, has a son Paul who was born with the condition. Mrs Durham, a former nurse, who is exepecting another child in January, said: 'Paul's head was round when he was born and then within a week it began to change shape . . . At first we blamed the water which is very bad in this area but no one will give us a reason . . . hopefully they'll have discovered the cause before our next baby is due. It is very worrying.'

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Demonstration at the Gamescom and two new screenshots
One of the most popular games at the Gamescom might be Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2. Activision presented the action game but the big surprise has not happened.
During the Microsoft press conference Activision show scenes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But those hadn't been new since the mission taking place around an icy hangar had been made available for journalists weeks ago. The Special Ops mode had been a lot more interesting though, but Activision only showed about three minutes of material.
The developers showed only one mission - more wouldn't be possible at the moment. The new mode that can also be played in co-op is too important for Infinity Ward to reveal too much information already. The demonstrated mission starts relaxed. The player can place explosive charges without being detected. But afterwards he has to face a fierce gunfight and survive it. Due to the slow motion feature some enemies can be downed at first but as soon as the bullet time is over it looks quite grim for the player. After 2:51 the show is over and the player luckily reached the target alive.
Infinity Ward has integrated 30 of such missions into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which can be unlocked by and by. The base for this was the mission Mile high club from Modern Warfare 1.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released on November 10 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Statements about the prices have not been given yet. Currently the shops call about 55 Euros. Additionally Activision has released two lonely screenshots.

Rosalita: Watching you sleepMature
Annie slept. She had cried herself to sleep.
I watched her. It was strangely relaxing. Every flicker of emotion across her face caused my brain to leap in to a confusing twist of ...well, confusion. I wanted to protect her, and I wanted her, but I was determined to do everything right. She was mine now. No one was ever taking her away, unless she wanted it. And maybe even then I would have a problem.
I was determined to start slowly, unlike last time, so that everything would be good. Even if it meant trying desperately to resist touching her, kisssing that smooth, soft skin, sliding my fingers in to...I shook myself mentally. Slowly. That was the way to do this. Tomorrow, I would take her on a date to a cafe. We would have drinks, and then she would come back to the other house and we would watch a film or something. And then we would go to bed in seperate rooms. The temptation would be too much if we slept in the same bed.
I stroked her face as I considered the plan. It seemed pretty perfect, and innocent. Annie's eyes fluttered open. Apart from she couldn't see. Oh...there goes the film idea.
"Hey." I whispered. "You fancy italian? My treat."

Date of Stay: July, 2014
Called before making reservations online to let them know 2 big rigs coming. They were extremely helpful. Long, level, paved pull-thrus with paved patio and patio furniture. 60 channels of cable. Nice trees. We were greeted by the owners-managers with ice cold bottled water when we arrived. They took us to our sites, told us to take our time hooking up utilities and then come to the office to check in. Our welcome packet ready when we went to the office and it had our name printed on the welcome packet! This is the best customer service we have experienced on our entire trip. They serve hot complete breakfast in the am $$ and pizza $$ if you want. We would give this park higher than a perfect 10. The only thing they could do is lower the price but with their sites we think it was worth it.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Pros: Park-like setting, nice trees. Some water and electric sites by the stream. Good Verizon data and voice service. Sparkling clean rest rooms and showers. Reasonable prices for laundry. Owner (male) very helpful and friendly. He helped us with their cable boxes. Cons: Sites very narrow and short. Felt cramped. Fire rings on adjacent sites too close to our rig. Unable to get satellite due to trees. Their cable is digital so if you have analog TV's you have to use their converter boxes for "cable" TV. Owner (female) was not friendly and almost rude. We would not camp here again if there was another choice in the area. Also very busy on weekends so reservations are a must.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
I-40 between Nashville and Knoxville, TN. Great little park about 4 miles from I-40, situated around small spring fed catch and release fishing lake. Beautiful trees. Some shady sights and some open. Cable and wi-fi included. Caters more to adults; no pool, no playground. Plenty of places for dog walking. Some sites are on the lake and some back-ins with views of lake. Some in front with lots of shade. Sites are big rig friendly, level gravel with paved patios, picnic tables, and fire rings. Sites on lake have swings, table and chairs, and BBQ grills. Reasonable rates. Lots of rallies coming in and out. Busier on weekends. Bathrooms are clean but could use remodel. Small laundry is pricey and could use update. Short drive to Crossville for shops and restaurants. Will definitely be back. Verizon wi-fi worked great. No problem getting satellite, but their cable was good, too.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We had a pull through (site 81) however we had to unhook and backup to get level as the site sloped in the front. This site has no trees and is suitable for satellite. They do have shaded sites available. Verizon Wi-Fi worked great with 4G service. Cable TV was good and more than just basic channels. Sparkling clean pool and laundry. Still making improvements. Overall a nice park with reasonable rate with KOA card and KOA points coupon. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Paved roads, paved sites, grass between sites. Some back-in sites, lots of long, level pull-throughs. Full hookups. Looks newly redone, trees planted but no shade yet. No cable, but got satellite in pull-through facing away from tall trees toward creek. Cell service not real strong but OK. Verizon MiFi weak but works great with Wilson Sleek booster. Beautiful drive on Avenue of the Giants. Check in was fast and efficient. Great gift shop. Friendly managers. Definitely would come back. Great value for the price.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Newly renovated park in last 4 yrs right off Hwy 19, 10 miles north of Crystal River in Inglis. New pool, laundry, showers, rest rooms. They now have 5 "pull-throughs" near the pool. You have to drive on dirt to pull into them (no biggie), but gravel or a sign would be better. Beautiful oak trees, some sites with shade, some in the open. No problem getting satellite. Verizon Mi-Fi and cell service great. Their Wi-Fi also great. 70 channels of cable (DirecTV). Check-in could have been better. We were not given our site number. Directions for pull-throughs not clear, but we figured it out. Gave us outdated map so site numbers were wrong. For a park this large it would help if they escorted you to your site. Monthly rates very reasonable especially for the winter. Will definitely stop there again.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
All the other reviews I absolutely agree with. Awesome park. Only thing lacking is cable TV but not problem getting satellite and local stations. Some extra info: Right off I-35 exit one into OK from TX (Thackerville OK). Paved pet walking track around entire park with disposal places through out. Pool almost ready. 2 new bathhouses with showers and laundry in each. Rec room with free coffee. Fuel station nearby that has lowest diesel prices we found in area. Golf course. Good Verizon cell and Wi-Fi. Their Wi-Fi was fast also. They do have monthly rates. If you don't have a players club card at Winstar Casino, go get one before you check in at the RV park as you get one free night plus $5 off their regular daily rate per night. Once you get to the RV park and check in, if you stay more than 2 nights you get free play. There is plenty of parking for RV's and trucks on the south end of the casino and a shuttle will drop you off at the entrance (New York) where there is a players club desk right in the door. Walmart in Gainesville TX about 7 miles south. Plenty of restaurants and shopping in Gainesville. I also won on slots. If you want the shuttle to the casino, I would park near the office. Shower seats needed maintenance. No road noise that we heard in site 100 across from the office.
Date of Stay: March, 2012
Beautiful new park. Long, level, back-in and pull throughs. Paved streets and pads. Good utilities. Brand new clean private showers and rest rooms. Pet friendly and has dog park (needs more work but fenced). Lake front sites on inlet to Lake Catherine. Boat docks (not at each site). Large saline pool, heated (sometimes). Open all year. 2 levels of Wi-Fi (free and $$ for higher speed). Cabins and yurts. 5 mins to shops and restaurants. Quiet residential area. Trees and landscape has been planted and getting there. Introductory rates for back-ins, and weekly & monthly rates. Great value for the price. We will definitely return when in the area.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Got satellite plus cable TV. Verizon cell works great, Verizon Wi-Fi works great. Free Wi-Fi in park also 4 bars (didn't try it). Absolutely beautiful new (one year old) quiet, peaceful park. Paved, level long pull throughs. Reasonable rates. Beautiful trees, creek with access to bay by boat. Nice cottages for rent or sale. We will definitely come back and stay longer.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Bald Eagle Campground. Paved roads, long, paved sites, full hook ups, with parking space for xtra vehicle, patio, picnic table, fire ring. No shade. Young trees planted. Satellite, Verizon air card and cell great. Clean rest rooms and showers. Park Rangers very helpful. Quiet country setting but near enough to shopping. Rate reflects $1 discount for Sr. An awesome place for the price. We will return.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Brand new park on inlet to Lake Hamilton. Has spotless new restrooms, laundry, workout room, meeting room. Gravel drives and spaces. Spaces are a little tight but very well positioned. Plenty of room for large rigs and slides. Got satellite and their cable tV was good. Wi-Fi had a strong signal from site 25. Very helpful, friendly manager. Close to everything, yet quiet residential area. Would camp here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
We got a very nice welcome. The desk clerk recommended a site where we got satellite. It is a quiet park, but pricey for what you get, in our opinion (no 50amp, no cable). Lots of things to do in the area. Fall leaves were beautiful. There are good gravel interior roads, grassy sites, lots of trees. Wi-fi was at our site but some people had to use the pavilion near the office. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
Beautiful park with several loops. Some waterfront, some with lots of shade. We stayed in West Loop. Park is being upgraded with more 50 amp sites. C Loop is being completely upgraded with large pull through sites, large patios and water at each site. Some have sewer. Has helpful, friendly hosts. We hope to return and stay longer. Our rate is half price with America the Beautiful Seniors or Disabled pass.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Arrived to office, we were advised site 54 had sewer. Never found site 54. Site 55 (not marked) did have sewer but was occupied. Park office said camp host would check us in. We couldn't find camp host. Decided to dump tanks and take non-sewer site after driving around for 30 minutes. Camp host did find us eventually to take our money. Cash or check only. Nice rest room, but you have to pay for showers four minutes for 75 cents. Beautiful lake. Long pull-thrus. Not paved, no paved patio. A bit pricey for what you get. $2 discount for seniors or disabled. Would camp there again, hope for better service.

Beautiful park, very wide paved pull thrus and patios, new trees so no shade yet. Full hookups, 50 amp, cable, easy on and off I-40. Special rate $20 per night for 2 nights, 3rd night free. Great service! We liked it so much we stayed there again on the way back across I-40. Definitely would stay there again.

Speedy bacteria nanosensor detector could help prevent foodborne illnesses
|Catching E. coli contamination in foods requires a fast sensor. (Image: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health)
|Millions of illnesses and more than 1,000 deaths every year in the U.S. are attributable to foodborne illness caused by known pathogens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Conventional methods to screen food to find sickness-causing microbes can take as long as 24 hours, which is often too slow to efficiently catch tainted products before they hit store shelves.
|Faster methods exist, but have limitations. Magnetic resonance, for example, can detect extremely low levels of bacteria, but loses its effectiveness at higher bacteria concentrations. Fluorescence is the opposite. Tuhina Banerjee, Santimukul Santra and colleagues wanted to see if they could combine the two techniques to make a better detector.
|The researchers developed a hybrid nanosensor incorporating magnetic resonance and fluorescence. Lab testing of milk showed the detector could sense varying concentrations of a pathogenic strain of E. coli known as O157:H7 in less than an hour. They also used their sensor to analyze E. coli levels in untreated lake water, which serves as a source of household water in some developing areas. Additionally, the device could be customized to detect a wide range of pathogens beyond E. coli, the researchers say.

Project leader Dr David Laverty said they wanted to modify a car into an electric vehicle, "but we wanted to do it in style".
"The DeLorean was the obvious choice because of its strong connection to Belfast and its starring role in the Back to the Future movies," he said.
When the original DeLorean factory closed in 1982, fewer than 9,000 cars were produced there.
It's thought that fewer than 6,000 of them are still in existence, and Dr Laverty said they managed to get their hands on one in January 2014, although it was in a poor state of repair at the time.
"I'm a child of the 1980s and the car represents everything about the enthusiasm for engineering and the future," he said.
"Really what we're trying to do is inspire young people to consider careers in electrical engineering and the potential that offers."
While in the Back to the Future movies, the car had to reach 88mph in order to time-travel, this modified car's would have no problem getting up to that speed, even if the rest of Doc Brown's technology is still a long way off.
"We are using the original drivetrain from the DeLorean, including its Renault gearbox, which our students have modified so that it is driven by a 270 horsepower electric motor, giving a top speed of 120 miles per hour," said Dr Laverty.

nothing but time, yet no time at all
time is a valuable thing, more valuable to some than it is to others. time is always ticking away, what will happen to you each day? Well some people are more obsessed with time than others...
Olivia is more obsessed with time than most people, but she sure has a good reason to be.
[will be continuing at some point after exams finish]
It was exactly 4 years and 10 months ago that I had started dating this beautiful man, 4 years and 8 months since I told him 'yes' when he asked me to be in a relationship with him, 3 years and 11 months since I had screamed with joy and accepted his hand in marriage, 3 years and 10 months since I found out I was bearing his first child; and 3 years, one month and one week ago since I gave birth to my first born child- Jaxon. 4 years and 10 months is the same 58 months, which is approximately 232 weeks. 232 weeks is 1,624 days, which calculates to 38,976 hours. That means in total we have spent 2,338,560 minutes together; or 140,313,600 seconds. And that is only time spent since dating.
We had a meal together and took a few hours out of what we were doing every Saturday night. So that is 3 hours a week for 4 years and 10 months. That means we have spent around 232 Saturday evenings eating together, which is approximately 626 hours we have spent in each other's company away from the stresses of life.
We would spend 6 hours every Sunday gaming together, both being a fan of games and enjoying the release it provides. Sometimes we would play on the same console together or game next to each other on our own consoles. That would then approximately be 1,392 hours we have spent gaming side by side, raging and cheering each other on.
We have both spent 4 days a week for 8 hours each day apart working. Which is approximately 32 hours a week, 128 hours a month and around 7,424 hours in total we have spent apart working. This therefore means we have actually only spent around 31,552 hours together.
Every moment you spend texting, working, overthinking, plotting, tossing and turning adds up. It takes around 28 seconds to type the average text, most people send at least 18 texts a day minimum. That means the average person spends around 504 seconds texting a day. This means in a year the average person spends 183,456 seconds a year texting. That's 183,456 seconds each year wasted on your phone, rather than socialising face-to-face.
You might be asking yourself why I have such an obsession with time and calculating it; especially when calculating all these years, days, months, hours, minutes and seconds must be wasting precious amounts of time as it is. Well, the answer to that question is because I exactly 1 year, 11 months, 15 days, 9 hours and 22 minutes ago I was diagnosed as terminally ill with cancer. I have spent a large proportion of my time since diagnosis in hospital, attached to my best friend Ivy (the drip), having consultations and feeling nauseous and ill. Though, Robert is unaware that I am terminal. It is today that I have to tell him. I have spent 1 year 11 months, 15 days, 9 hours and 24 minutes letting him believe I can recover from this and beat it. When in fact, the treatment is only to help slow it down.
Whilst writing this I am awaiting him to walk through the door and see the original diagnosis records that I have conveniently left in the middle of the table where he checks for his mail.
My phone just went off, I was on for approximately 15 minutes and 40 seconds. It was the hospital, he has been involved in a car crash. They've taken him down to theatre and I can wait for him In ICU. His condition is critical.
It was then I realised what a pickle I was in…
If he doesn't make it… I have around 14 months left. Who will be there to look after Jaxon?

Ceiling Fan
January 30, 2016. Aside from a trip into the city for weekly supplies, I spend the day working on my project. I'm happy to report that the first bit is done: I can now post from gRSShopper to Facebook. Sure, it's easy just to write some script that will write a post - I did that a couple of weeks ago. But this is integrated right into gRSShopper. Now I'm on to part 2 of the project. Was so engrossed I didn't stop thinking about it until late this evening, when I thought to photograph the ceiling fan in the bedroom. Accomplishments: - gRSShopper writes posts to Facebook From Flickr http://ift.tt/1nxAySl
The View from M-2
January 29, 2016. I had a meeting in M-2 today after our review meeting. Good stuff all around. I messed around with GitHub some, managed to upload some code (part of my project, which is ongoing). From Flickr http://ift.tt/1nxAySf
January 28, 2015. Snow today. Just another day in the office. No accomplishments, because I'm working on a project. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1SS5r13

The Bidding Starts at $500,000
January 27 , 2016. Got a fair number of odds and ends done today, but my most important work was probably this photo of a potato. After all, if Kevin Abosch can sell his photo of a potato for $1.5 million, I should be able to get a half mil for mine, right? Accomplishments: - background study on open education frameworks From Flickr http://ift.tt/1QEB4tv
Tuesday, January 26, 2016
January 26, 2016. It was not a great day for driving, with wet snow in the morning and drizzle fading to freezing rain in the evening, but I made my way to Boucherville and back for meetings. The best bit was the sky, which on the way home was a slowly-changing impressionist's dream. Beautiful. This is a shot from just south of Boucherville on the highway, at a dead stop (because it's Montreal traffic) on the way home. Accomplishments: - wrote a shortish critique of learning design From Flickr http://ift.tt/203ilxz
Monday, January 25, 2016
January 25, 2015. I saw this through the front windshield of the car parked next to me at the office. I can't help but think it's a distraction. Accomplishments: - wrote draft list of features for a product for a potential development partner - submitted draft text for a book chapter - submitted list of conference priorities and objectives for the next fiscal year - fixed the feed title problem in gRSShopper JSON harvesting - fixed the longstanding CDATA problem in gRSShopper harvesting - synchronized the two versions of gRSShopper currently in production, in preparation for an upload to GitHub From Flickr http://ift.tt/1S7q0qs
Orchid in the Paint Shop
January 24, 2015. It was errand day today. Pictured is an orchid in the Decorator's Choice paint store near Innes Road, where we bought drop cloths to use as curtains. We also went to Shopper's, Costco, Home Depot, and the Home Warehouse. Accomplishments: - Got all the bills paid From Flickr http://ift.tt/23poiUK

January 22, 2016. Some time in the spring of 1991 or so I stopped at the St. Albert Mall on my way back from teaching in Slave Lake and bought these paper butterflies. They have been on my fridge doors ever since. The paper is fragile and the butterflies look every bit 25 years old. But I like them. Today was a quiet day, a couple of meetings, and some getting odds and ends done. Accomplishments: - sent the last of the project change approvals - sent thank you notes to all the OLDaily donors - Wrote What I Learned Using Paypal (and accidentally published the whole article in the newsletter - the harvester still isn't working quite right).

Sunshine and Blue Sky
January 21, 2015. I got lots of sleep last night, was able to exercise on the trainer this morning, and was focused on presenting our six-month review today. Seeing the sunshine and blue light through the kitchen window his moring filled me with energy. It went well, and I finished the day putterinbg on tasks I've put aside while doing reports. Accomplishments: six-month review. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1PlTYGj

Waiting for thre Train
January 20, 2015. Almost home, waiting for the train to cross the street in the centre of Casselman. Tired. Long day, and even a short trip can wear you out. Accomplishments: - submitted slides for the program 6-month review. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1lx9x01
Waiting to be Seated
January 19, 2016. Waiting to be seated for breakfast at Marverick's in the Four Points hotel in Moncton, where I was staying (as the house is being renovated). Flew back home to Ottawa in the evening. Meetings? Yes. Accomplishments: nil. It was a useful trip, but these trips are hard on the waistline (I gained 7 pounds) and slow the stream of reports and such expected from me by management. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1OFLUL1
Death of an Oak Tree
January 18, 2015. I went to have a look at the state of renovations on the house, and while I was pleased at first, I was horrified to discover that the contractors had destroyed my oak tree. Yes, they will replace it, but it's not the same. Accomplishments: plan for the next sprint agreed on. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1ZB5VYj
Pop-Up Safety Cone
January 17, 2015. Meetings in the morning, flight to Monbcton in the afternoon. Accomplishments: nil. This is a pop-up safety cone in the Ottawa airport. I had to stop and think about it - was it like an umbrella? No - it is one of those cones they put on the floor to mark a wet floor. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1ZB5VYg

Eagles Nest Trail, Ontario
January 16, 2015. Andrea and I went snowshoeing in Calabogie with Mike and Sylvie today - it's the first time I've seen Mike in decades, but we knew each other quite well when I was younger and working at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa. Our fathers worked together at Bell. The weather was perfect, it was my first time on snowshoes in 20 years or more, and though I had to use my phone, I still got a nice set of photos. A great time was had by all! From Flickr http://ift.tt/1J9FMh9
Friday, January 15, 2016
January 15, 2016. Andrea made nice comfort-food cookies today. Delicious! Accomplishments for Today: - 6.4 km on the trainer today (8 out of the last 10 workdays started with a morning spin) - created a list of LPSS reports and publications (and have them collected too) - created list of technologies in different market spaces that LPSS works in - submitted LPSS Waterfall revenue report for January From Flickr http://ift.tt/1RqUoeG
Snow Day
January 14, 2015. The snow was heavy enough this morning that traffic came to a dead stop on the 417, allowing me to snap this photo of south Ottawa. Accomplishments for today: - approved changes to a number of projects, five in all - Submitted B152 Program Support December report From Flickr http://ift.tt/1J7QGUM
January 13, 2015. I loved the way the morning sun shone into my office; unfortunately this photo doesn't do it justice. I made today a work-at home day, and got quite a lot done. Accomplishments: - Sent out monthly program business review - Wrote 'The Banality of Death' - Got odometer working for bicycle trainer (has to be on rear tire) - Successfully made gRSShopper work with Facebook Graph From Flickr http://ift.tt/1JPPju3
Tuesday, January 12, 2016
Before the Storm
January 12, 2016. The coming snowfall hung like a shroud in the air, a finger-freezing cold high in humidity and still. The snow did come, I left work early to avoid the chaos, and I'll work from home tomorrow. That's a tree on the NRC campus, and the CSIS building in the background. Accomplishments - prepared some slides describing a reorganization of the program's core projects. Yeah. I was a bit of a slacker today. I admit it. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1ZrQ0Rr
Birds and Blue Sky
January 11, 2015. A bright blue sky, cold cold weather, and birds etched against the sunset as I stop in a Costco on the way home. Accomplishments: - Submitted the final version of the quarterly report. About 15-20 minutes effort to finish this off. But through the rest of the day I had four meetings, a Costco run, and of course the usual newsletter and such. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1ZrPXVI
January 10, 2016. We had the first blackout of note in our Casselman home. It was new - in Moncton, we never had blackouts, because we were a block from the hospital. But rural Ontario is a different story - wind and freezing rain can create problems. Accomplishments today: harvesting and parsing DOAJ journal recordings from their JSON API for use in gRSShopper. This took me about 10 hours of solid coding, stopped only by the blackout. In the end I have a nice elegant solution in about 140 lines of code. Still some tweaks, but I'm very pleased with the overall result, which should be generalizable to other JSON feeds. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1nhbqiP
Handicapped Parking
January 9, 2016. Ottawa is a beautiful city, but parts of it can be dreary, especially in winter. One such part is this shopping mall on Olgivie. The mall is mostly boarded up, but there's a liquor store and a Shooper's Drug Mart which attract a fair bit of traffic. The parking lot is an abandoned construction zone. It's near where i work, so we were going to use it as our primary pharmacy, but we've had nothing but problems with our prescriptions. This stretch of handicapped parking typifies the overall attitude of the place. So we will probably change locations. Accomplishments: nothing in particular. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1nh7Pl1
Thursday, January 7, 2016
Paroisse Ste-Euphémie
January 7, 2016. It's dark these days when I get home to Casselman, and more so today as I was late getting out of the office. But it allows me to appreciate the gentle lighting of Paroisse Ste-Euphémie, the signature church in the centre of town. Accomplishments today: - updated by ORCID profile and added publications That doesn't seem like much, but I only list as accomplishments the things I finished. It was actually a pretty productive day but I still have a bunch of half-done things on my desk. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1ITGW08
Wednesday, January 6, 2016
Rubber Ducks
January 6, 2015. This is the new shower curtain I bought yesterday. It's for the downstairs shower, which is what I use after riding the trainer. Third day in a row on that, which is good. I haven't seen the fitness and weight benefits yet - that will take time - but there is an immediate payoff in improved mood. Accomplishments today: - sent out draft text for the quarterly report for comments - HuffDuffer now being used to add video soundtracks to ed Radio podcast, which I listen to on the morning drive From Flickr http://ift.tt/1Oc52Qr
Tuesday, January 5, 2016
Ice Crystals
January 5, 2015. Very cold and crystal clear this morning as an ice fog shrouded the city and coated the trees with hoarfrost. I had a quiet day spent digging into the technology for a bit. Accomplishments today: - installed Python on my desktop, set up Bottle, learned it, and wrote a simple 'task list' web application - got my new glasses From Flickr http://ift.tt/1OLPzpM

Evening Lights
January 4, 2015. First day back in the office after the break and it was a productive day (albeit one with four hours of meetings). This is the scene from the parking lot as I headed home in the evening. Accomplishments for today: - used the trainer this a.m. - first draft of text for the LPSS quarterly report written and distributed for feedback - OLDaily donation page added to newsletter From Flickr http://ift.tt/1TAUFt5
Sunday, January 3, 2016
January 3, 2016. Worked on using Facebook Graph with my Perl script, but this did not go well at all. I also spent some time setting up the room in the basement, and sorting photographs. Accomplishments for today: - set up the trainer in the basement From Flickr http://ift.tt/1OtS5VK
January 2, 2016. I planned to get a bunch of stuff set up downstairs. Instead I spent the day puttering online. Also, I had intended to list daily accomplishments, but completely forgot. But hey, no time like the present, and these daily posts are a good place to list them.

Front Lawn
January 1, 2016. The first day of the year, the first New Year in our new house. This is the front lawn of the house, and I've only just now noticed that we have yet another spruce tree on our lawn, just like in Moncton. Makes me feel happy. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1PBXf30
December 31, 2015. We went from store to store in search of 4mm machine bolts (for the televsion stand) and finally found one here, at the Lowe's in Orleans. I toopk the opportunity to take a Kubrik-esque photo of the lighting aisle. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1UkEHUf
December 30, 2015. The cats' characters have all changed a bit since we moved and since we lost Bart. Polly has become less active, more skittish. But she also lives on this stool or the counter just behind it, always within a couple feet of Andrea. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1mV89pl

Rabbi Rosenberg
Rabbi Dina Rosenberg was welcomed as Rabbi of the Bay Ridge Jewish Center just a few months after her ordination from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 2011. While training to be a rabbi, Rabbi Rosenberg served many diverse congregations including Biloxi, MS and Watertown, NY. She also completed two 400-hour fellowships as a chaplain in hospitals located in Harlem and in Seattle, WA and continues to work toward her accreditation to become a certified chaplain.
Rabbi Rosenberg is very hands-on and innovative. She has created many groundbreaking projects at BRJC for all ages and interests including: ShulSkype (a monthly Shabbat service broad-casted over Skype to our home-bound elderly run by our Chesed Committee), a BRJC Community and Educational Garden, a half-marathon running group, 20's – 30's Young Professionals' Group, multiple types of monthly Shabbat experiences, Gospel Shabbat Service and a Center for Jewish Learning.
Rabbi's love for children is obvious by her desire to learn cutting edge approaches to making Judaism more accessible for others such as being trained as a Storahtelling Maven and her involvement as part of the cohort of the 92Y Shababa experience. Her creation of BYOBaby (weekly meetings of wine and cheese for new parents while their babies have a safe space to play and socialize), a Toddler Shabbat Program, monthly Family Services, and Programming for Families with Young Children including rebuilding the BRJC Hebrew School with many children that LOVE being at BRJC. Her passion for working with young children, thinking out-of-the-box and teaching makes her a wonderful fit for the BRJC.
Rabbi Rosenberg loves officiating at life cycle events and gives each family personal attention so the ritual can reflect the individual/family celebrating. She makes a point to meet with every person that walks through the door to ensure that a safe and welcoming space is created for everyone.
One of the things Rabbi Rosenberg loves most about the Bay Ridge community is its diversity. She is thrilled to offer a warm and friendly hand to all who enter, including: single adults, young and mature families, LGBTQ community, the elderly, children or adults with special needs and intermarried couples.
As a fellow Bay Ridge resident, Rabbi Rosenberg works on a regular basis with local organizations, the Fort Hamilton Army Base, and meets with other local clergy to enhance the religious life of all Bay Ridge residents and to ensure that multi-faith families feel welcome. In 2016, this community engagement was recognized when Rabbi Rosenberg received the Hidden Treasures of Bay Ridge Award.
Rabbi Rosenberg looks forward to deepening and strengthening her relationships with the members of BRJC and is excited to welcome new individuals to help her reinvigorate this wonderful community.
Rabbi Rosenberg is thrilled to have many years ahead to grow with the Bay Ridge Jewish Center.

Iran bans printing of the word 'wine'
Iran's culture ministry has reportedly censored the word 'wine' in any books published in the country to prevent a Western "cultural onslaught".
The Telegraph reports that 'wine', the names of pets and even the names of foreign heads of state are all now subject to censorship under the new guidelines.
The paper quoted the head of book publishing at the ministry, Mohammad Selgi, as saying: "When new books are registered with us, our staff first have to read them page by page to make sure whether they require any editorial changes in line with promoting the principles of the Islamic revolution, effectively confronting the Western cultural onslaught and censoring any insult against the prophets."
The directive was launched at the behest of Iran's current clerical 'Supreme Leader', Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (pictured). He has apparently urged the culture ministry to develop books, films, video games and toys to counter a "Western cultural invasion of Iran that seeks to destroy Islamic identity."
He has made several such statements in recent months and has been criticised by Iran's more moderate clerical president, Hassan Rouhani, as a result.
Ironically, Selgi made his comments to an Iranian magazine called 'Shiraze', based in the city of Shiraz and which is commonly cited (albeit fancifully) as the origin of the grape name 'Shiraz'.
The report, if true, only refers to new books published in Iran and not, it would appear, to books already published in the country.
As for wine being part of a "Western cultural onslaught", pre-Islamic Iran has always had a strong affinity with the drink and has continued to do so even after the Islamic conquest of the 7th century.
The banning of alcohol after the 1979 Islamic Revolution has also done little to truly stamp out drinking in the country.
The origins of wine production are sometimes traced to ancient Persia and the country certainly had a thriving wine culture in its past. The famous Iranian poet Ferdowsi, who remains one of the country's favourite writers, often wrote about wine, so too another famous Iranian poet and philosopher Omar Kahayyam who mocked the stern religious leaders of 11th and 12th century Iran with his praise of the benefits of good wine and food.
Ferdowsi's 10th century epic The Shahnameh or Book of Kings, that tells the often mythical history of Persian Iran, is filled with depictions of wine drinking, especially by one of the book's main heroes, Rostam, lord of Zabulistan, who's prowess at battling demonic armies is seemingly matched only by his enormous capacity for wine.

I use these for running and hiking. They are very comfortable, providing no rubbing. A great quality product.
Purchased for hiking, i am very pleased, purchased more, I am a 33 inch waist and purchased a medium which fitted great
I've run a 50k ultra marathon in them. With the bits they covered worked brilliant. But need to be a bit longer in the legs. Chaffed on ina thighs where wasn't covered by Runderwear. Probably would of been fine if was a little longer
Very comfortable, fit well, stay put!
Bought the briefs based on the reviews I'd read and can happily say after a few runs already they are fantastic. Working exactly as intended. You really don't notice you have them on. Thoroughly recommend.

Red Wattle Pigs
The Alpha 2 Omega Ranch raises Red Wattle Pigs. The Red Wattle breed is on the critical list of extinction and as members of the Red Wattle Hog Association, we are committed to preserving the breed. We keep or sell the best of each litter for breeding and sell the remaining for meat in order to maintain a self-sustaining farm. The pork has been rated as some of fhe best tasting pork by our customers.
All of our pigs are raised on pasture and in addition, all of our adult pigs are fed a ceritified non-GMO peanut/milo based feed. Although Alpha 2 Omega Ranch is not a certified organic facility, our pastures are free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides and our pigs are free of extensive use of vaccines, hormones and antibiotics. Our first choice of medicines are herbs and homeopatic products.
The Red Wattle breed is an East Texas native pig which was named for its color and unusual appendages which hang from each side of its jaw. Red Wattle pigs can range in color from golden ginger to cinnamon red to a dark red that looks almost black. Most Wattles have rather large upright ears while some ears are so large that they lope or droop due to their sides. A young mature boar may weight as little as three hundred pounds while an older boar may exceed a thousand pounds. The mature sows are a little smaller, weighing from three hundred to over six hundred pounds. Red Wattle Pigs are known for their mothering instincts, sweet disposition, and their gentle-nature. They are good pasturing pigs and will eat about 5% to 10% of their food from a good quality pasture.
Records of the Red Wattle's existence was recorded in the 1950's. An East Texan named H.C. Wenglar captured the wild pigs with the unusual appendage and began breeding them. There are varying theories as to the origin of the Red Wattle but the prevalent opinion is that the French brought them from a New Caledonia when they settled Louisiana and over the years the Red Wattle pig migrated to East Texas. For for information on the history of Red Wattle Pig visit The Red Wattle Hog Association (http://www.redwattlehogassociation.com) and the American Livestock Breeders Conservancy (ALBC) (http://www.albc-usa.org/). Both websites provide information on the history and present standing of these heritage pigs.

Incentive program rewards residential recycling
Published: March 15, 2010
Taking out the trash has gotten complicated. Different bins, different pick-up days. Wouldn't it be nice if someone actually paid you to do this stuff?
For more than a million households in the United States and Great Britain, somebody does.
RecycleBank is an incentive points program that collects recycling curb-side, weighs it, and assigns points that are redeemable for discounts with local merchants.
"It's a win, win, win," says Atul Nanda, president of RecycleBank's Canadian division. "We're increasing diversion in our cities, increasing economic stimulus for the stores, and providing value-added incentive for people to increase their environmental behavior."
The program is not available in Canada quite yet, but is now running in 25 American states.
Pilot programs already exist in Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta.
"We've been in discussions with several cities in Canada," Nanda says. "At this point, we don't have a firm date, but we're going to continue our negotiations. The areas we've looked at have been in Ontario, as well as on the west coast."
Recyclebank got some significant acknowledgement in 2009, when the company was named a United Nations Environment Program Champions of the Earth.
"To date, the material recycled by the households we service has enabled RecycleBank to save cities tens of millions of dollars annually in landfill disposal fees, save over 1.5 million trees, and save millions of gallons of oil," company founder Ron Gonen said in his UN acceptance speech.
"We have over 2,500 partners," Nanda notes. "That's larger than virtually every other loyalty program out there. We have a very robust partner list. We are also expanding our services to be more than just recycling diversion. We have an electronics e-waste program. We're also partnered in with eBay to help incentify people for reducing."
Having recently crossed the million-home threshold, RecycleBank is aiming for sustained growth.
"I'd like to think that in three years we'll be in at least half of Canada, as well as the majority of the states," Nanda says. "Projections are very difficult to make, but based on our rapid growth so far, I think it's only going to accelerate, eventually reaching 10 or 20-million households."
And you don't even have to separate your glass, paper and plastic. RecycleBank does it all.
"We believe we have a product where — really —the sky is the limit."

While the holiday shopping season got off to a weak start for some retailers, that wasn't the case with Wal-Mart Stores (WMT).
The world's biggest retailer recently announced record results for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. With Black Friday actually starting on Thanksgiving evening, Wal-Mart rang up more than 10 million transactions within the first four hours. Towels, which shoppers fought over, were the best sellers. TVs and tablets were also hot items.
Wal-Mart's momentum carried over to Cyber Monday. The retail giant noted that this year's Cyber Monday was its largest online sales day in history. LG's 50-inch LED high-definition televisions and Apple (AAPL)'s iPad 2s were among the top sellers.
The company's strong start to the holiday shopping season followed last month's mixed Q3 results and lukewarm outlook.
Wal-Mart has delivered higher earnings year after year. It has a five-year Earnings Stability Factor of 2, signaling a rock-steady stream of income. Its current fiscal 2014 earnings are expected to rise 3% to $5.17 a share. Profit for fiscal 2015 is slated to grow 9%.
Besides consistent growth, the company has also rewarded investors with dividends. Wal-Mart is a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index, which tracks large-cap companies that have paid rising dividends for the last 25 years. The retailer has raised its dividend each year since it declared its first-ever dividend in 1974.
The company last announced a dividend hike in February, when it raised its annual payment to shareholders by about 18% to $1.88 a share. Wal-Mart has a yield of about 2.3%, slightly lower than that of lagging rival Target (TGT)'s 2.7%.
Wal-Mart has retreated this week after rising for eight straight weeks. The stock is near a 79.10 early buy point in a long consolidation that goes back to mid-May.

While iPhone is a great way of recording awesome videos, one thing people truly miss in the Camera app is the ability to pause/resume video recordings. I ,for one, believe that Apple should implement this functionality to make its Camera app a versatile tool for recording videos, but until that happens, we have a jailbreak tweak to take care of the job.
RecordPause is a new cydia tweak that makes it possible to pause and resume video recordings. This tweak simply allows you to tap on the timer at the top of the screen to pause the video recording. The color of the timer changes from white to yellow the moment you pause it.
To resume the recording, you need to tap on the timer again. The timer color would turn into white when you resume the video. If you're one of those users who frequently use their iOS device to record videos, this tweak will make your day.
How to Pause and Resume video recordings in iOS 8 on iPhone and iPad
Step #1. Open Cydia and search for RecordPause.
Step #2. Open the tweak from search results and install it.
Step #3. Since there's nothing to configure, you're ready to go as soon as you've installed the tweak.
Step #4. Open the Camera app and start recording a video.
Step #5. Tap on the timer to pause (or resume) the video (Make sure not to tap recording button.)
That's all to it. However, there's a little problem with this approach. If you've selected the framerate >= 60, you might experience "stutter bug" after resuming the recording. This is probably because of the camera format itself, but the tweak still brings a very important feature to the Camera app.
Have you missed the ability to pause and resume video recordings in iOS 8? What do you think of the tweak? Let us know in the comments.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
When contacted on several occasions, Landlord repeatedly promisesd to pay but never delivered. He also received an extra paymet and kept quiet , for the last month rent of the contract, It was paid at contract inception as part of the initial deposit of 3X rent that included first month/last month and security deposit. The deposit amount is $4350, the last month rent is $4350.
The statute of limitations for debt in Texas is four years. But if the landlord has failed to account for and return your security deposit, the landlord has a bigger problem.
A landlord who wrongfully withholds a tenant's security deposit can be liable under Texas Property Code section 92.109 for an amount equal to the sum of $100, three times the portion of the deposit wrongfully withheld, and the tenant's reasonable attorney's fees in a suit to recover the deposit.
You can review these sections of the Property Code at the following web address:
Texas Property Code Chapter 92 - Landlord - Tenant Residential Property
The landlord has an obligation to provide an accounting for your security deposit provided that you owed no rent and had provided a forwarding address. See Property Code section 92.104. If the accounting is wrong, or you dispute the accounting, you can sue in small claims court for a wrongful withholding of your security deposit.
Good luck.
