PRIVATE STRUCTURE. On the tip of the promontory of Castelmola, overlooking Mount Etna and eastern Sicily with its old cities, its natural beauty and the crystal-clear blue sea of the splendid Sicilian coast, very close to Taormina and surrounded by a green, luxuriant park of 20 hectares with more than 6000 species of plants, stands the Antica Dimora Grimaudo (old Grimaudo residence), a villa which still breathes the atmosphere of past splendours and which, today, is provided with all mod cons. The villa consists of a large portico where you can enjoy meals in the open air, sipping the best wines of the area, and with lots of space to relax, listening to the sounds of nature or admiring unforgettable sunsets. The swimming pool, just a few paces from the house, is perfect for those wanting to swim or to soak up the sun while reading a good book by the pool. The strategic position of the house allows you to get to beautiful Taormina or to the famous beaches of the Giardini Naxos in about 10/15 minutes.
The house is on one level and the rooms are furnished with period furniture of the highest quality, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The entrance from the portico leads into a tastefully decorated living room with working fireplace, connected to the built-in, fitted kitchen. The sleeping area is separated from the living area by a corridor with 2 steps which leads to the main bathroom with a large shower and to two spacious and bright double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom with shower. Both rooms have a private veranda.
The immense park, crossed by paths perfect for going for long walks, surrounded by nature, where you can admire more than 6000 different species of plants such as centuries-old olive trees, cypresses, oaks, sorb trees, mimosas and eucalyptus and sit on the many benches placed along the paths and admire the unique panorama. Walking in the park, the views change from that of Mount Etna to that of the beautiful Taormina coast.
Swimming Pool
The beautiful rectangular swimming pool, measuring 10 x 7 m, with a depth of 1,40 m and lined in PVC, is about 30 m from the house, on a higher level, and is reached along two flights of steps. Entrance to the water is by ladder and it has chlorine purification. On the hottest days you can cool off in the water or soak up the sun in the exclusive tranquillity of this home. In addition, the pool has a large solarium area, paved on one side and with lawn on the other, with sunbeds for relaxing or reading a good book. The pool is equipped with lighting both internally and externally and is open from the first Saturday in May until the last Saturday of September.

Wonderful vacation! Lovely villa!
We spent a wonderful vacation in this lovely property! I would like to recommend it to everyone. The Emma Villas assistance was perfect!
This should have been a 5 star but failed miserably on important points
I found this villa on VRBO and the contact was Emma Villas, a management company. Because my husband and I were traveling with another couple, I was very concerned about privacy and questioned Emma Villas in several emails about the privacy in the villa for two couples. In addition, since my husband and I had to stay connected to business, I also questioned Emma Villas about the internet connection, though the Villa was advertised as having Wifi. I was assured that the villa was the right selection for two couples and that Wifi was available. It was only when we arrived that we discovered that one of the two bedrooms had no door and that Wifi was really a mobile connection which plain and simple did not work. The lack of a door was partially corrected by the owners who hung a curtain, which provided some sight blockage but nothing for sound or light. There was not even a partial solution for the lack of Wifi. In addition, the villa is accessed via a steep, narrow and windy mountain road, largely dirt and gravel, with no guard rails, so going into town to use internet hot spots was something we only did once a day, and only during daylight hours. Yes, the villa is kept nicely, the grounds are beautiful and the view is spectacular; but had we been advised of the lack of privacy and the lack of Wifi, we would not have chosen this accommodation. We were told by the owners as we left that they were going to build a door for the one bedroom (the bedrooms face each other) and that the area was putting in a new internet system, but that will not erase the inconveniences, discomfort and problems we encountered as neither solution was available for our stay. Emma Villas was notified of our issues from the first day of our arrival, and have done nothing to make us feel that we were valued rentals guests. They have now stopped communicating with me. Guess their motto is take the money and walk away from the issues. The owners did attempt to make us feel welcome and they were nice people, but the issues were serious ones for us and their solution on the missing door was not adequate. There was nothing they could offer us regarding the lack of Wifi. It's a shame as there was so much to like about the villa, but honesty was the key here and we did not find it with the management company.

Installing an Xbox 360 plan on a tough drive requires between 4 and 8 gigabytes (GB) of at liberty disk space.
After installing a play on your determinedly drive, you still emergency to bring into the world the competition disc in the disc street when you start the game.
Installing games on your stony enterprise improves fill times and minimizes devil-may-care disc access.
You can institute games to a USB glitter drive or to an Xbox 360 4 GB console. However, some games wish not go along with correctly.

Peaceful giving manifest invites to the Xbox Advance showing Program to all u IGNers. Justifiable combine me on Xbox Combustible GT: DrunkAnd0nDrugz and let fly me a message. In protection you didn't know, it allows you to try alibi the modern back to front compatibility idiosyncrasy early aswell and future updates purpose embrace the advanced UI and other goodies. It also gives you a chance to help amount to Xbox A particular more advisedly in search all of us!
I about individual of the coolest things thither this is the occurrence that we won't be needing our 360 discs in the tray to stake the games. I have a whopping library of downloaded games (more or less thanks to GWG) but I also tease a huge solicitation of discs. It will be nice to have a digital copy of them in my Xbox One.
That would be entirely disappointing. It's there point they stopped asking us to do this when we're already forced to install. The X1 doesn't vie with games remote the disc, and they're going to troops us to download a digital understanding of our 360 games anyway. Why not ditch the disc requirement? They're a smart company, I'm reliable they can espy a equivalent to to remedy that happen.
Because then 1 disc could be passed about to hundreds of users...... But i harmonize, it would be more to not essential the disc. Good-natured of like how xbox a man was initially designed to work...install the disc, then set it away....... prior to the everything DRM fiasco. In these times we take a soothe that isn't "perpetually online", in an stage where games are unplayable without sizeable patches, and VARIOUS games insist an online relations anyway.

By all means divulge the yourselves who unplugs the internet skylarking away to their nub's content. But let's countenance it 95% of the user fundamental principle on Xbox Everyone is always online anyway. They resolve log in at some point. Reliability me, they will.
Microsoft tried backwards compatibility with X360 and the oldest XBox
also. It also barely had minimal compatibility. While outgoing, it's a
marketing ploy and not positively true backwards compatibility since it's
merely contemporary to brace 100 games. They promised more compatibility with X360 and the senior Xbox and nothing came of it.
About just 51% of the authentic Xbox library is compatible with the Xbox 360.
After a scarcely any depressingly calm months of Games with Gold (save during Monster Chalice, of speed), Microsoft has enchanted a footstep in the amend administration quest of the month of July.

text: Cambistat® is a plant growth regulator that slows the vegetative growth of plants by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis. Cambistat® is designed to gently and predictably slow the growth of trees. A single application provides a long lasting reduction of vegetative growth, effectively extending the trimming cycle of trees and reducing the amount of woody growth that must be removed. In addition, use of Cambistat® may cause other plant growth effects that are beneficial for trees such as increased root density, improved drought and heat resistance, and higher tolerance to insects and diseases. Cambistat® will also benefit trees that are too large for their growing site and increase the longevity of trees growing in stressful environments.

BeschreibungPoetry. "Gretchen Mattox's Goodnight Architecture is a fine example of a collection that houses mind and heart harmoniously. She has read her Louise Gluck and learned from her without being derivative in the least: it must have tasted like grief, the narrative flame. Nothing fit again, a miscalculation of weather.' Small words (again') carry so much weight in these poems, working to add texture and emotional complexity. So important--the difference between Nothing fit' and Nothing fit again' and Mattox knows this difference, feels it, lives it"--Martha Rhodes.
PortraitGretchen Mattox was born in Denver, Colorado, and educated at teh University of Colorado, New York University, and Colombia University. She has been a fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Edward Albee Foundation, and Yaddo, as well as an instructor at The New School for Social Research, Antioch University, and Loyola Marymount University. She lives in Los, Angeles, California, where she co-edits Pool.

"what are you doing?"
"i can't sleep"
but it wasn't you. i was tormented by the things i had yet to see. i'm glad i left you. i'm glad i was a serpant for three months straight luring skeletons into beds, & staying up too late. i smelled like cigarettes, & oh, you can only guess what happens next. i flew miles to fall asleep in arctic arms for a taste of autumn sex.
but i didn't self harm. not once. i was a pastel-coloured lose canon, & now i am drifting back to shore. i'm wading in your harbor. you anchor into me.

Over the next several weeks, more than 1.7 million students will walk through the doors of Georgia's public schools. Some of those students are kindergartners just starting their journey. Others are high school seniors almost ready to take the next step. They'll be welcomed by more than 113,000 dedicated teachers.
I want to take a moment to personally welcome every one of our students and teachers back to school. I offer my best wishes to each of you for a safe, successful year of learning.
"A conservative is a statesman who is enamored with existing evils, as distinguished from a liberal, who wishes to replace them with others."
– Ambrose Bierce
During the turbulent anti-war, anti-everything 70's, I had a friend who worked for the Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Though her organization normally enjoyed high esteem, at least in religious circles, she scanned the political landscape and came to a startling conclusion: "Every word in our title is now politically incorrect."
I admit it. I've pulled the shades and watched The Bachelorette. I've jumped in the middle of the fray between two or three housewives, the O.C. and N.Y. being my favorites. These types of shows are shockingly entertaining at times, sort of like a building being demolished.
Why? I don't actually know. I think there's a little bit of voyeurism in most humans, and it makes us feel connected somehow to watch others struggling in their lives, too.
Dear CNT Editor,
Columnist's note: This column was written in August of 1999, when my sons were in the eighth and fourth grades. They are now 30 and 26, so some of the particulars are dated, but most of the concepts haven't changed. I think parents of school-age children can still relate to the situation overall.
As the last of the two conventions finished its business of nominating a presidential candidate last week, the Clinton and Trump campaigns were quickly shifting into high gear.
Somewhere between July Fourth and the dog days, summer doldrums set in. Too hot for baseball, too hot to fish, too hot to swim, too hot to act happy, too hot to work up a good argument. My older brother and I would flop on the front porch, sulking and sweating. Then trouble started.
"What do you think would happen if you put a bullet on the train tracks," my brother asked.
"I don't know. You got one?" I hopefully inquired.
"Nah." We soaked up the disappointment.
We used to think our grandparents were just being incredibly modest, or humble, when they told us over and over that they didn't want anything for birthdays or Christmases.
Ignoring their repeated remonstrances, we usually gave them ever more caps, lacy handkerchiefs, vases, tools and so forth, that we eventually had to clean out when they died.
July is a special time in Georgia because it's the month when most of the laws passed during the previous legislative session go into effect.
This July was no exception, with new laws that allow students to use Tasers and stun guns (but not firearms) on college campuses and require state licenses for "lactation consultants," those specialists who assist mothers with problems in breastfeeding.

Vetacademy has added a course on aquatic medicine to its selection of online training courses.
Developed by Australian vet Rob Jones, the e-quarist course is aimed at those with an interest in aquatic medicine and consists of six modules, with three more to be added in the next 12 months.
Designed for vets
Heavily practical in focus, the modules are designed for vets, vet technicians and aquarists working in the aquarium and aquaculture fields who wish to fast-track their knowledge and skills.
Dr Jones said: "I developed the e-quarist course to help others gain the knowledge and experience I now have in the aquarium field, but without taking so long to get there. It has since been accredited a learning partner by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums."
Vetacademy, a digital platform offering more than 300 courses from training and CPD providers around the world, is a service offered by Vetstream, a provider of digital services to the veterinary profession and a global educational partner of the WSAVA.
Growing importance
Mark Johnston, managing director of Vetstream, said: "With the growing importance of aquaculture, demand for the veterinary management of aquaria is increasing rapidly. We are delighted to bring this course to our Vetacademy subscribers as it will broaden the portfolio of learning available on this emerging topic."
- For further details on the e-quarist course, visit The Aquarium Vet pages on Vetacademy.

Astelbania Chronicles: The Roads Ahead
While the dwarf and the girl made for the door, Kanan held out a hand towards the Tiefling rogue, "if you don't mind," he inferred, as Bahl shrugged,
"Of course!"
Kanan smiled, nodded, and waved at the door, "Get that would you?"
Silently, Bahl swung the large oaken door and with a clank it closed.
"Would you like a drink?" Kanan asked.
"That would depend on what my duties are tonight, My Lord,"
"Please, Bahl -- I am as strict on title as our Prince,"
"Of course," Bahl settled into a plush leather bound chair.
"Tonight you are home; for what it's worth!" Kanan looked about with an anti-critical eye, "Such surrounding are not of my choosing. It is my wife that thought that anonymity is best served by being the great eyesore this far North of Marrokville!"
"She is wise, your wife!" Bahl said, "there are no better places to hide then right beneath the nose of your enemy!"
"Than it is from you that she gets this wisdom," Kanan laughed.
"I would not presume to be such an influence on someone as intelligent at Hylenna Al'Barran!"
"A drink then!?" pressed the knight.
"If my duties are done for this night, then I will partake in the one!"
"Only one?" Kanan bent an eyebrow.
"For now ..." Bahl's lips split in a grin, but only for a second as he received a couple of onzes of Dwarven Single Malt. With a sniff, Bahl could tell that the strong pungeant, vanilla and oak malt was not a cheap vintage. "Odgen Mount's finest!"
"Nothing but the best!" Kanan raised his glass, "To absent friends!"
"Hm." Bahl toasted and drank, letting the drink's aroma fill his nose and gave a hard swallow; it burned going down. "Excellent. Axym would sure love a glass!"
'A glass?! He's liable to drink the whole bottle. And something so expensive as this, i like to keep around a while, if you catch me!"
"I understand," Bahl gave a wry grin, "Now that the niceties are done; what can I do for you tonight, Kanan Al'Barran!?"
"It is nice to see somethings will never changes," Kanan chuckled, "Always right to the point!
"Firstly, how is Falina progressing?"
Bahl sipped at his drink, but was not expecting this line of questioning. He raised his eyebrows, looked into his glass at the swirling golden drink, and swallowed, "Not ready." he pressed his lips together and looked up at the icy blue eyes of his colleague, "But she is strong; both willed and in body. She has talents the likes of which she has yet to discover, but i see a lot of potential in her,"
"But she is not ready to face what is to come!"
"No! Not even close. In the face of battle she panics. She has too much fear in her heart. And try as I might to harden her, i fear i merely drive her away from listening to my tutiledge. A teacher, i am not!" he admitted, wetting his lip again with the Malted Drink.
"I see. But you say she is bright and strong!"
"Well, yes. Exceptionally so, really! But her Street saavy is something to be desired."
"That is positive,"
"hmm. indeed," Bahl went to drink again, his body now feeling the effects of the alcohol as he felt himself comfortably sink into his chair, but something struck him, "Wait a minute!" he started, "Why do you want to know,"
Kanan smiled, and drank the full two ounces of the dwarven malt and put the glass down with a hard swallow, "Because I believe that with a little guidance from you and Axym, that she can be put in the field ... for a little job."
Bahl stood, and pointed at Kanan Al'Barran, "Oh no. I knew you would do this. She's not ready. She may think she is - but she is not!"
"Part of leadership, Bahl my friend, is letting those under our care believe that they are when they are not, and helping them choose the right pathes!" Kanan imparted, "And frankly, we believe she is the only one out of us all that can see this to a positive conclusion,"
Bahl finished his glass and waved it at Kanan's nose, "Fill it and tell me what is on your mind!"
Kanan complied smiling, and stoked the hearth as a chill began the permiate the room. "Put simply, Bahl, Falina is not the only heir!"
At first, Bahl stared at the "Blue Knight" as if he'd spoken a joke that wasn't the least bit funny, at all. When he realized that Sir Kanan was not laughing, he said, "What? I thought that the magic seed was only to be given to her eldest child,"
"And you would be correct - Genevive had only past on her magical lineage on to the first of her children! The others would be spared this fate!" Kanan stood and let Bahl mull it over.
"You mean to tell me there is another 'Falina' out there?" Bahl asked with a groan.
"Not so much a Falina; but a young man that goes by Magnus D'veln,"
"She'd had twins!"
"Yes! And for all of eighteen years, he lived and studied at the Druid Academy in Southern Carrenbreth - under the teachings of a Dwarven Druid named: Gregwar Ashpyre,"
"You said "lived"." Bahl noted, "Where is he now?"
"We don't know! But we suspect he has come South on his own to find out his true lineage. He is different from the other of his village,"
"In that, there is little to dispute; he's taller than the lot of them," bahl quipped.
"It is more than that. He outgrew his teacher before he was 12. his aptitude for the Wilder Magics is beyond what any of us could have expected. "
"Why not put him at the towers in Westbridge; why train him with Druids ..?"
"The wizards would sooner bind him than allow him his magic, and so a more Natural Discipline was decided for him." Kanan's jaw went crooked as he sighed.
"We were unsure; you did not agree with this appointment?"
"No, not at first. Hylenna and I argued over this matter for hours; but she eventually swayed me, both with her wisdom and .. quite frankly, it is hard to argue with a woman so stubborn as she!"
Bahl laughed, "I understand. And Hylenna for her part in this?"
"She has travelled to Westbridge to confir with Weyoun Braxa. They are both intelligent and powerful. They will find him; and when they do, we hope to send Falina after him and retrieve him. And it will be on you and the dwarf to see that they are kept hidden and safe until the time comes!"
Bahl thought it was a good time to ask, "We heard news of the Northern Plague"
"The White Tear!" Kanan confirmed, "Your sources are still excellent, Bahl. The Tear is a Cult of Orcus - they are growing in strength and in great numbers. Should either of the children fall into their hands, surely the secrets of Sakkarr's Tower will be open to them, and the Solaran's Gate vulnerable.."
"Surely we could protect the tower from siege. Why not mount an army?"
"None know where it is - Genevive D'Veln has seen to it that no eyes may fall upon the cursed tower.. With great magics she moves it like a floating citadel from region to region in the hopes of keeping it's location a mystery. For all of lore, the Cursed Citadel Tower is all but a myth. Only the HEIRS can find it! And find it WE MUST before the White Tear CAN."
"If it is so well hidden, how could the Tear even have a chance."
"Magic is just another ripple within nature ..." Kanan tried to look wise, but his facade was broken as he shook his head, "I do not pretend to understand any of it. Suffice it to say, that there are means within the Magic Realms to find a 'hole' in the magical world. Hiding a great tower could push a big hole, i would suspect!"
"So what will you ask of me!?" Bahl concluded having finished his second glass of malt.
"Meet with Hylenna in the Village of Compaatia, just East of Westbridge. From there you will go to the territories to the North, where it is said is controlled, now, by the White Tear. The ways will be dangerous, i can assure you. But for now; rest! I do not expect to have word from Hylenna for another two days!"
"What do I tell Falina! Do we tell her she has another sibling?"
"Tell her what you must to prepare her. But Hylenna suspects she may already know! In his last missive to his Master, Magnus mentioned a sister! TO our knowledge, the children were seperated at birth to protect the lineage. Something of the arcane is at work here,"
Bahl almost spat, "Just what I need! Two of them!"
Kanan laughed, "Rest, my friend. We will see each other at evening meal?"
"I wouldn't miss it!"

In geometry, the subtangent and related terms are certain line segments defined using the line tangent to a curve at a given point and the coordinate axes. The terms are somewhat archaic today but were in common use until the early part of the 20th century.
Let P = (x, y) be a point on a given curve with A = (x, 0) its projection onto the x-axis. Draw the tangent to the curve at P and let T be the point where this line intersects the x-axis. Then TA is defined to be the subtangent at P. Similarly, if normal to the curve at P intersects the x-axis at N then AN is called the subnormal. In this context, the lengths PT and PN are called the tangent and normal, not to be confused with the tangent line and the normal line which are also called the tangent and normal.
Let φ be the angle of inclination of the tangent with respect to the x-axis; this is also known as the tangential angle. Then
So the subtangent is
and the subnormal is
The normal is given by
and the tangent is given by
Polar definitions[edit]
Let P = (r, θ) be a point on a given curve defined by polar coordinates and let O denote the origin. Draw a line through O which is perpendicular to OP and let T now be the point where this line intersects the tangent to the curve at P. Similarly, let N now be the point where the normal to the curve intersects the line. Then OT and ON are, respectively, called the polar subtangent and polar subnormal of the curve at P.
Polar equations[edit]
Let ψ be the angle between the tangent and the ray OP; this is also known as the polar tangential angle. Then
So the polar subtangent is

April 2000
BeschreibungThese essays by leading Islamic women scholars in North America give voice to and are evidence of the growing network of Muslim women involved with the issues of women's human rights through "scholarship activism." Gisela Webb brings together critical arguments for the existence of religious mandates within the core scripture and teaching of Islam for the fair treatment of women.This book is the basis for the history of Islamic women's jurisprudence and a major landmark in the history of modern interpretations of Islam. It attends to what many observers, both inside and outside of Islam, regard as the most important development in the Islamic world today. Although Islamic fundamentalism garners more media attention because it is more sensational and sound-byte friendly, issues associated with women's roles in Islam are in the forefront of Islamic discussion and reform today.

Effective Diffusivity in Porous Materials
Transport through porous structures is usually treated using simplified homogeneous models with effective transport properties. This is in most cases a necessity, since the typical dimensions of the pores and particles making up the porous structure are several orders of magnitude smaller than the size of the domain that is to be modeled. This model introduces the concept of effective ...
Axisymmetric Transient Heat Transfer
This is a benchmark model for an axisymmetric transient thermal analysis. The temperature on the boundaries changes from 0 degrees C to 1000 degrees C at the start of the simulation. The temperature at 190 s from the anlysis is compared with a NAFEMS benchmark solution.
Loaded Spring - Using Global Equations to Satisfy Constraints
Global equations are a way of adding an additional equation to a model. A global equation can be used to describe a load, constraint, material property, or anything else in the model that has a uniquely definable solution. In this example, a structural mechanics model of a spring is augmented by a global equation which solves for the load to achieve a desired spring displacement.
Joule Heating of a Microactuator
This tutorial model of a two-hot-arm thermal actuator couples three different physics phenomena: electric current conduction, heat conduction with heat generation, and structural stresses and strains due to thermal expansion. In this model version, the geometry is parameterized so that the effect of varying the actuator's dimensions can be analyzed.
Convective Cooling of a Busbar
This is a template MPH-file containing the physics interfaces and the parameterized geometry for the model Electrical Heating in a Busbar.
The development of mixers does often not only have to account for effectiveness, but also other factors must be involved, such as cost and complexity for manufacturing. The three models study a laminar static micro mixer with two parallel sets of split-reshape-recombine mixing elements. The mixer works through lamination of the streams without any moving parts and the mixing is obtained through ...
Diffraction Patterns
This example resembles the well-known 2-slit interference experiment often demonstrated in schools with water waves or sound. This model mimics the plane-wave excitation with two thin waveguides leading to slits in a screen, and it computes the diffraction pattern on the screen's other side. This diffraction pattern is clearly visible. The main effect of quantization is that the numerical ...
Eigenmodes of a Room
When designing a concert hall, it is extremely important to take the resonances into account. For a clear and neutral sound, the eigenfrequencies should be evenly spread through the registers. For the home stereo owner, who cannot actually change the shape of his living room, another question is more relevant: where should the speakers be put for the best sound? To illustrate the effects we are ...
Process Control Using a PID Controller
This model shows how a flow model can be coupled to a process control mechanism. Controlling application parameters according to other application parameters is important within process engineering. Most control mechanisms use the data at a wall or an outlet to control inlet parameters. More accurate control can occur if you can control inlet parameters due to data found within a component ...
Conical Quantum Dot
Quantum dots are nano- or microscale devices created by confining free electrons in a 3D semiconducting matrix. Those tiny islands or droplets of confined "free electrons" (those with no potential energy) present many interesting electronic properties. They are of potential importance for applications in quantum computing, biological labeling, or lasers, to name only a few. Quantum dots can ...

Tori Amos
Midwinter Graces
Universal Republic
A Tori Amos Christmas album? Seriously?
That was my first thought when I opened Midwinter Graces, a new album out this week from the indie queen. The quirky, moody crooner seems like a strange fit for the wholesome, fuzzy holiday season. Plus, Christmas albums are usually crap (a fact MoJo staffers recently lamented at length).
But I should have known better than to to doubt the seditious songstress. Rather than recording syrupy holiday tunes, Amos has crafted a collection of covers and originals filled with whimsy and melancholy—the musical equivalent of spiked eggnog.
Some of her twists are subtle, like a rhythmic reimagining of the "Noel, Noel" refrain in "What Child, Nowell"—her mashup of "What Child Is This?" and "The First Noel"—or the backdrop of a drumbeat on "Emmanuel." Others are more pointed, like a lyrical personification of the ivy in "Holly, Ivy, and Rose," or gothic instrumentals in "Star of Wonder." Either way, there's a distinct sense that Amos wants to subvert the conventions of Christmas music, even as she pays them homage.
Amos also retains her lyrical trademark of precious poeticism: Black satin is what I wore / That, and our hearts left on the floor, she laments in "Pink and Glitter"; on "Winter's Carol," she muses The summer queen has been in darkness.
The only misstep is "Snow Angel," a leaden, cheesy ballad that reminds the listener what could've been had Amos chosen cliché over imagination. It's a good thing that didn't happen.

Sailing reaps benefits of winning culture
by Simon Barnes on 31 Aug 2004
The British boat skimmed sweetly over the finish — that's what it's like down at the sailing these days; another day, another medal.
Chris Draper's response was unequivocal: a dirty great deck-busting, heel-bruising stamp. Disappointment seared him. The medal was bronze.
Draper and Simon Hiscocks sailed in third in the 49er class and no; they were not happy, not happy at all. 'We're a bit down,' Hiscocks said. Draper added: 'We came here to win the gold.'
And if all this seems a trifle ungracious, it is not. It is just a reflection of the high expectations and high achievements of Great Britain's sailors.
They are the most successful Britain team at these Games, with two golds, one silver and two bronzes. The cyclists are the only threat, with an almost equally impressive tally of two golds, a silver and a bronze.
Britain will finish as the top nation in Olympic sailing, just as they did in Sydney four years ago.
In Barcelona in 1992, the sailors got one bronze; in Atlanta four years later, two silvers. There has, then, been a bit of a sea change in British sailing. The Brits have bossed the regatta here and although it was a frustrating day, it was also a day of high achievement, a day that confirmed the recent but dazzling tradition of excellence.
The 49ers are sweet boats to watch, keel-less little things that seem scarcely to touch the surface of the water while the two-man crew leaps around with athletic precision and hangs dizzyingly from the trapeze.
It was good to go to sea, an essential part of any visit to Greece, for the sea swirls and rolls throughout the history and mythology of this thrillingly ancient place.
The sea swayed, rolled and tossed them, all blue with white wings, as George Seferis wrote in one of his sea-washed poems. The white wings of the sails didn't get much air to fill them, though; airs that were neither nipping nor eager.
The British boys sought the best breeze, fearful of finding that most dreaded of things on a light air day, 'a hole in the wind'.
They duelled piratically with the boat from Ukraine, knowing that to beat them by more than one boat would take them to silver and make it a more satisfying day altogether.
But it was not to be. 'It's been a long four years,' Draper said. 'It takes up my life. This is what we do, this is what we will continue to do.'
And that is what the Britain sailing team will continue to do. The medal tally is final now but — by any reckoning — it has been a deeply satisfactory performance.
No sport can claim to have quite the same success at the tricky task of converting lottery money into medals; converting, if you like, national folly into national joy.
This is the Olympic value sport. The sudden surge to effectiveness has coincided with the lottery money — it began after the Games of 1996 — so much so that it looks as if the whole business is about throwing money at a problem.
Which is all very well, but how come all the other lottery-funded Olympic sports aren't as successful as sailing?
The answer is, sailing people say, that the lottery money came at the right time to an organisation that was already well geared for producing elite performers and elite performances. Medals, in other words.
It is reckoned that, even without lottery money, Britain would be a top-three sailing nation in a competitive and widely contested sport — medals have been spread over more than 20 nations.
It comes to a culture. And a victorious culture cannot be established overnight. Or even in four years, as the Britain swimming team found out to their great distress.
Bill Sweetenham always said that the Athens Games were just a staging post; that his first four years as performance director were not enough.
He has consistently promised that we will see the fruits of a properly established winning culture in four years' time, in Beijing.
Rod Carr, chairman of the Royal Yachting Association, said that British sailing now has 'a really bloody strong culture', but that it was 'modest and understated'.
What is so intriguing about such a culture is the way it enshrines winning more or less in its constitution. It really is true that winning begets winning.
It is an infectious thing — one team member wins, the next one expects to, or at least is totally unsurprised to be in a winning position.
Victory of a teammate changes a competitor's attitude about himself, about herself. Winning becomes unsurprising, perhaps even inevitable.
These five medals, including the two extra-shiny ones, come as a result of intelligent, thought-through planning.
You don't spread the money out too thin so that everyone can have a go, not if your job is to seek Olympic medals.
But you don't just bung all your money at a few individuals at the top; you plan deep and you plan long.
Five medals at the World Youth Championships bear that out very pleasantly.
There has been wailing and gnashing of British teeth at the swimming and, in athletics, an awful lot of tears.
But if any Brits are upset down at the sailing regatta, it is because a bronze is a disappointment.
'We'll be happy tomorrow,' Hiscocks said.

The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) will be paying a $2.6 million civil penalty to resolve Clean Water Act (CWA) violations and has agreed to spend $1.1 billion to comply with the law by 2025.
The state of Texas is a co-plaintiff in the case and will receive half of the civil penalty.
The U.S. Justice Department, on behalf of EPA, filed a complaint against SAWS alleging that between 2006 and 2012, the utility had 2,200 illegal overflows from its sanitary sewer system that discharged 23 million gallons of raw sewage into local waterways in violation of its CWA discharge permit. EPA confirmed these violations during a 2011 field inspection and record review.
As part of the settlement, SAWS will conduct systemwide assessments; identify and implement remedial measures to address problems that cause or contribute to illegal discharges found during those assessments; and initiate a capacity management, operation and maintenance program to proactively reduce sanitary sewer overflows.
The plan must be fully implemented by 2025.
In the early years of the agreement, SAWS will take actions that will result in reduction of sanitary sewer overflows. In addition, the utility will monitor water quality to identify potential additional sources of bacterial contamination that could be contributing to impairment of the Upper San Antonio River.
The utility's wastewater treatment plant serves 1.3 million people in Bexar County, which includes the City of San Antonio. Its wastewater collection and treatment system consists of 5,100 miles of gravity sewer lines; 100,000 manholes; and 170 lift stations.
Click hereyfvdfdzdrbywwacuw to learn about EPA's Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Plans for prioritizing regionwide wastewater/stormwater investments.
The settlement will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, and is subject to a 30-day public comment period before final court approval of the consent decree. Once the consent decree has been approved and entered, SAWS will have 60 days to pay the fine.

University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa
PURPOSE: Studies in adults have shown that smokers have poorer viral and immunological responses to HAART, a greater risk of virologic rebound, a higher risk of death and a higher risk of developing AIDS. Other studies have shown an increased risk of smoking HIV-positive adults to infections. There is, however, no Paediatric data on HIV progression in passive smokers. To determine if passive cigarrette smoking is a risk factor for HIV progression in children.
METHODS: An observational, descriptive study of children attending the HIV Clinic at Tshwane District Hospital during October 2007.
RESULTS: 127 children were enrolled. 47 (37%) are living in households where adults smoke. Passive smoke exposed children had a 1.1% lower CD4 percentage than children who had no passive smoke exposure. This was not statistically significant (p=0.90 F test). Non-smoke exposed children had a slightly higher HIV stage than smoke exposed children: 2.53 vs. 2.51. This was not staistically significant (p=0.72 F test). Passive smoke exposed children, on HAART, had a 0.36 % lower CD4% than the children of non-smoking parents.
CONCLUSION: This study of HIV positive children, attending a clinic did not reveal statistically significant differences in objective measures of HIV status (CD4 count and HIV stage) between children exposed to passive cigarette smoke and those not exposed. This is in contra-distinction to adult studies. The small sample size may limit comparison in this study.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Passive cigarette smoke exposure does not appear to increase the risk of HIV disease progression in children.

Portsmouth library seeks historical items
PORTSMOUTH — Have an old postcard of the former Bristol Ferry Wharf that your grandmother left behind? Or how about a snapshot of revelers at the former amusement park before the 1938 Hurricane?
Don't let them sit around gathering dust, abandoned and forgotten. Share them with the world. You can do just that by turning the tables on the folks at the Portsmouth Free Public Library by letting them borrow the items.
"We're going to start digitizing bits and pieces of the Portsmouth local history collection and then it will be available online," said Carolyn Magnus, library director.
Creating a local history collection was one of the main goals of the Portsmouth 375th Steering Committee, which organized dozens of events last year to help raise funds for the library.
Ms. Magnus said Richard Talipsky from the committee is talking to The Digital Ark Corporation in Providence about setting up the online digital collection. The library already has many items on hand that it wants to add to the archive, such as those that were in the possession of the late Portsmouth police chief, John T. Pierce, Sr..
"Those things were partially digitized. They're mainly photographs and postcards — great stuff," said Ms. Magnus, who would like to see more historical tidbits contributed by residents. "We're looking for more of that kind of thing — old photographs from the turn of the last century. It's mostly two-dimensional items we're looking for."
Ideally, any item would be of interest to people outside of Portsmouth as well. "Someone from California could take a look at a little slice of Portsmouth history — maybe something about Island Park when it was an amusement park," she said.
Anyone wishing to share an item should bring it to the library. "Digital Ark are the ones actually scanning it and they'll have to be taken to Providence to do that," she said.
National Library Week
In anticipation of National Library Week 2014 (April 13-19), Ms. Magnus also spoke about all the free services and programs offered by the library. Although circulation is down at libraries around the country — "I think nationwide it's fallen off by 10 percent this past year," she said — the local library is still a bustling place.
"I think the computers are a draw," said Ms. Magnus. "We have 18 adult computers and two quiet study rooms, so if you came in with a tutor you could use that. Or if you just want a real quiet place away from your home phone ringing, that's the place to go. Our computers are up to date and they have Microsoft (Office) suite on them."
There's also plenty of programming, for all age ranges.
"We do a Crafty Kids that has kind of an artsy bent to it, and we do preschool reading programs that introduce kids to reading in a fun atmosphere," she said.
The library also offers plenty of young adult programs. "That particular age group is hard to reach because they're so busy," said Ms. Magnus. "They may have an after school job, they have sports, they have band. They're hard to get in here, but once they come in, I think they'll realize it's a fun place to be."
For adults, there are three reading groups, one of which is going into its seventh year. "You find that people form friendships. It's not about the book anymore; they ask how each other is doing," she said.
Genealogy a big draw
The genealogy group which formed four months ago is also a big draw. "Genealogy is huge," she said. "It's the number-two hobby after gardening."
Those who are into genealogy would want to take advantage of the many reference databases the library offers, she said. "One is Ancestry.com and it's an expensive database to own your own version, but you can come here and get it for free."
And if you're looking for a book, CD or a movie but can't find it on local shelves, you can have titles delivered to the local library through the Interlibrary loan program. "It's very popular. We push through about 1,000 items a month both going and coming," said Ms. Magnus.
If you have an e-book reader, the library has plenty of free downloads through E-Zone. "Last month, I think we had 810 borrows, and a year ago it was about 400 and some. It's getting bigger and bigger," she said.
Families are also taking advantage of free museum passes, which offer free or discounted admission to local museums and other attractions, such as Battleship Cove.

nerdy and cute
Really cute glasses; had a hard time deciding which color - got Nutty. They fit a bit loose or I would have given 5 stars. Speedy service.

Pink intelligence
This frame looked adorably nerdy to me and I had to have it. These are just as cute in person. Pretty good comfort, although I think I may need nose pads to get the frames a little further off my nose (my eyelashes sometimes bump into the lenses because of the fit). I really like these.

Training for tedium
It is the most tedious three-hour workout I have ever done. There is nothing to see but a dim circle of white light on the punchy snow, or the dull orange glow of distant city lights against the clouds. The narrow canyon and thick trees choke the landscape in two-dimensional shadows. The drag of my sled drowns out the otherwise eerie silence. Sometimes I fantasize about more engaging workouts I have done, like running on a treadmill at my old Juneau gym while Fox News blared on the television screen. But most of the time my mind succumbs to the numbness of complete boredom. The Corridor follows a gradual incline up the canyon, but the trail conditions are so difficult that I might as well put the effort into climbing a mountain. Unlike a mountain, there is no reward at the end of the Corridor, only a point where I have to stop because I can't move anymore. I turn off my headlamp and squint into the night — only the faint outline of mountains, trees, and more shadows. Then I turn around, and it takes the same amount of time to run back, even though it's downhill.
I detest the Corridor workout, dread it, and yet I go back. Why? There is much about the Susitna 100 that I can't train for, but there is one area where I truly believe preparedness counts the most — the mental game. I have my reasons why I believe running the Susitna 100 will be a truly rewarding experience, even though I don't know yet what those rewards will entail. But there's one thing I know for sure — the Susitna 100 is going to be tedious. Amazingly, mind-numbingly tedious. I look forward to the physical challenge, the beauty of Alaska and sharing such a deep emotional experience with my boyfriend and friends. But I know at some point it's going to be 3 a.m. or 7 a.m. or 8 p.m. and I'm going to be shuffling along the Yentna River, breathing through the thick frost crusted through my face mask. All I will hear is the infernal grinding of my sled, and all I will see is the faint island of light from my headlamp, the muted gray slate of the frozen river and the two-dimensional shadows of trees along a too-far-distant horizon.
And when that time comes, I'm going to be ready. My mind will shift back to these training runs — the wet, cold feet and knee-deep slush — and I'll say to myself, "At least I'm not in the Corridor."

In my (experienced) opinion, "Trouble with Taurus..." is (consistently) reason enough to GET RID of it.
This is a discussion on Trouble with Taurus TCP within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My little Taurus TCP fails to feed about twice with each mag. I have sent it back to Taurus twice. The first time they replaced ...
My little Taurus TCP fails to feed about twice with each mag. I have sent it back to Taurus twice. The first time they replaced the slide. Still FTF. The second time they said slide was oversized and they adjusted it. Still FTF.
I am pretty sure I am not "limp wristing"it, because I have a RugerLCP and a Colt Mustang 380 and have never had this problem with either.
Should I send it back a third time, get rid of it, or what. I have used various types of ammo with same results. I appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanks in advance.
In my (experienced) opinion, "Trouble with Taurus..." is (consistently) reason enough to GET RID of it.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Dump it and learn from the experience
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Taurus revolvers - not bad
Taurus semi autos - rollin' the dice
got the TCP before the LCP. Had nothing but trouble out of it. took it back to LGS and traded it for LCP. very happy with that choice. The TCP would not even feed on mag full without two or three jams. Bad gun...Taurus needs to work on that thing big time.
Taurus will fix it eventually if you keep sending it, but your gun is going to be spending more time in Florida than your holster.
Or better yet, dump it, and buy a quality gun.
I've got a couple hundred rounds through mine now, FMJ and JHP. It does fine until it is good and dirty and hot, which is about 75 rounds. Clean it and it runs fine for another 75. I figure as long as I keep it clean and I don't shoot more than 75 rounds in a SD situation, it's fine.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
My LCPs will go through several hundred rounds in a session without any issues...assuming I can find the ammo.
At this point, even if they do fix it, you have to ask yourself if you will ever truly trust it.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
I bought my daughter the TCP 380, same FTF problems. The gun was cleaned, loaded with different ammo and fired by different shooters, same problem. Called Taurus, after a hassle with their CSR he agreed to allow me to return it. Long story short we experienced the same problem when the gun was returned, it was dumped and she is now a proud owner of a LCP.....
I had the same problem with my TCP, adjusted the mag lips and it fixed the problem. I had one mag that worked fine, one didnt, so that helped me narrow it down.
You used the word Taurus in your title. When that happens, my standard response is "I Don't Recommend It." Fits every time.

Here's what happens when a young ordinary guy with extraordinary disappearing abilities "runs afoul" of Zachary Levi's big bad Heroes Reborn vigilante, Luke.
NBC is amping up its promotion for Heroes: Reborn with a brand-new one-minute-long TV promo that includes a mystery character reveal.
We're just a few weeks away from the premiere of NBC's Heroes: Reborn, and series creator Tim Kring has pulled back the curtain for a peek behind the scenes.
The first official trailer for NBC's Heroes Reborn features fresh new faces and beloved returning characters.
Aside from the fact that it'll remix classic cast members with new additions like Zachary Levi, we don't know a whole lot about NBC's Heroes Reborn.
It's time for another classic case of good versus evil. Check out the latest photos from the upcoming series Heroes Reborn.
Zachary Levi is heading back to the small screen, and this time he's a geeky game show host.
Considering our fond memories for the first season of Heroes, and our love for Zachary Levi, we really want Heroes Reborn to be good. Please be good?
Zachary Levi's heading back to NBC, but not as beloved geek spy Chuck Bartowski.

Ischemic strokes, the most common, are caused by blood clots that flow to the brain and cut off its oxygen supply
Clot-busting drugs given soon after a stroke can dissolve the blockage; a daily aspirin then reduces the risk of another one.
Strokes are twice as common in women and it is a myth that they only affect the elderly.
Between one third and half of all stroke victims die in the first month after the attack. Of those who recover, one third return to a fully independent life, one third recover their mobility but have some disability, and one third have a severe disability.
About 40 per cent of patients have their second stroke within five years of the first.

text: A couple of days ago I did something really stupid: I tried to download a game for free by following a tutorial which required me to install a Babylon toolbar from an ad. It didn't work, so I uninstalled all the babylon stuff and scanned my computer with Avira and Ad-aware, they came up with some detections and a hidden object and removed them. After that, I bought the game instead of downloading. However, my computer now randomly freezes when playing and seems slightly slower than before. As long as I'm not gaming, my computer functions normally, but starting the game makes my computer freeze and BSOD every 2 out of 3 times. Also my computer doesn't seem to make any minidumps, even after enabling it via those settings and trying tons of other ways. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not really good with advanced computer stuff. I attached the Seven Forum folder to this post, hope it helps.

Rajab, the 7th month of Islamic year, marks the beginning of trilogy of spiritually most blessed and important months of Islam. Rajab is followed by Shaban and then ends with Ramadan. The season of blessings, forgiveness and seeking Allah's mercy is nonetheless welcomed by the umma in every corner of the world, and Muslim praise the Lord for giving them yet another opportunity to get closer to The Creator.
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: "Rajab is a great month of Allah, unmatched by any other month in the respect and significance (accorded to it); war with the infidels during this month is prohibited; Verily, Rajab is Allah's month, Sha'aban my month and Ramadan the month of my Ummah; whosoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan (an angel in heaven); the wrath of Allah shall be distanced and a door of the Hell shall be closed."
It is highly recommended to fast in the month of Rajab for atleast one day, it not only prepares one for the hardship of coming months but also carries great reward, blessings and Allah's favours. As per one of the hadith of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) those who fasts for one most recommended night and pray for one most recommended night of the Rajab will be rewarded as the person who prays and fasts for 100years, that night being 27th Rajab.
Rajab derives its name from the river of heaven that tastes sweeter than honey and is whiter that milk and Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was kind enough to bestow the man who fasts in Rajab to be blessed with the drink from that river, ohh how lucky that person be.
This is the month to cleanse the sins and seek all kind of mercy and forgiveness from the one who is most Merciful and Beneficent. It is highly recommended to pray more hymns during this month, be peaceful with others and continue to pray for one's BAKHSISH for all the major and minor sins. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) has strictly prohibited following the leads of any war fighting or blood shedding in this month so it brings peace, harmony and a message of love for everyone.
So, every Muslim should congratulate each other upon arrival of this month and should celebrate the whole 30days era with the spring of worship and adulation as this is rightly the FESTIVAL of GOD'S FRIENDS.

Chimeral Students,
I just finished reading another interesting paper entitled "Plant
Chimeras in Tissue Culture: A Review" by Mary F. Pogany and R. Davis
Lineberger, the latter being Professor of Horticulture,. Texas A&M..
The authors explain that the intent of the review was to present a
comprehensive discussion of the literature concerning in vitro culture
of plant chimeras and to explain the role that these studies play in
advancing the understanding of the ontogeny of shoot meristems in vitro.
The review included a bibliography on the subject citing 117 literature
In the paper, the authors provided the following information..".Chimera
plants may originate by grafting, spontaneous mutation, induced
mutation, sorting-out from variegated seedlings, mixed callus cultures
