Mumbai: Mithali Raj, captain of the Indian women's team, is planning to cash in on England's relatively weak bowling attack when the two teams square off on Sunday.
While India had begun their campaign on a winning note getting past West Indies comfortably, England stumbled in their opening match against Sri Lanka.
The No.1-ranked batswoman exuded confidence ahead of the important clash against the defending champions and said that the team was well prepared to face any situation.
"I think England have got a very good batting line-up, but I don't think they are very strong in their bowling attack, except Katherine Brunt... They heavily depend on her for the breakthroughs," she said.
"We played against England last year as well and most of our batsmen are comfortable playing their bowlers. I would say Sunday's is a different game... We are expecting all kinds of situations and we are prepared for everything," she added.
Asked if she expects England to come hard after losing their first match, Mithali said: "I am sure they would field a strong side, but we are well prepared for it."
England's one-down batter and wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor missed the match against Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury. But Mithali is of the opinion that even in her likely absence, England had a strong team.
"I think she has been one of the mainstays of England and a very compact No.3 player. It was unfortunate for her not to play the opening game. But even without her, England have a very good batting line-up," she said.
The 30-year old also said that the tournament is wide open after England's defeat. "I did tell you the other day that the tournament is open because each and every team has been scoring heavily, more than 200-plus. They are also able to chase. I think the tournament has opened up even more after Sri Lanka upset England," she said.
The India captain is unperturbed about Sunday's game being a day game.
"I don't think there is a lot to get adjusted to, because it is not the kind of winter that we get to see up north where the dew factor or moisture is there in the air... Because the match starts at 9 am, there will be a bit of assistance to the bowlers.
"Other than that, I think the wicket is behaving beautifully in both the innings," Mithali said. "I think playing a day game will not affect us much… What we saw was that ball wasn't doing much… Maybe just in the initial 4-5 overs," she added.

|Official Title:
|Role of Eosinophils in the Proliferation of ASM Cells in Asthma
- Fold Increase in ASM Proliferation Following Incubation With Eosinophils. [ Time Frame: one day ]Airway Smooth Muscle (ASM) cell proliferation was measured 24 hrs following their co-culture with eosinophil. This was determined using Ki-67 staining and flowcytometry. The fold increase in ASM proliferation was then determined.
- Fold Increase in ASM Cells Proliferation Following Treatment With Cysteinyl Leukotrienes [ Time Frame: one day ]The effect of Eosinophil release of Cysteinyl Leukotrienes on ASM proliferation was determined using blocking agents. This was determined using Ki-67 staining and flowcytometry.

|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Asthmatic patients
|Non asthmatic patients
Detailed Description:
Rational and hypothesis Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the lung airways that is associated with airway remodeling and hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Its is well documented that the smooth muscle mass in asthmatic airways is increased due to hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the ASM cells. Moreover, eosinophils have been proposed in different studies to play a major role in airway remodeling. The association between increased eosinophil numbers and asthma severity has been well documented. Here, we hypothesized that the interaction between eosinophils and ASM cells plays an important role in airway remodeling and that eosinophils modulate the airways through enhancing ASM cell proliferation.
Objectives of the study The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eosinophils on ASM cell proliferation using eosinophils isolated from asthmatic subjects.
Specific aim 1. Effect of co-culture of ASM cells with eosinophils on ASM cell proliferation.
In this specific aim, the effect of eosinophil on ASM cell proliferation will be studied by co-culturing eosinophils isolated from asthmatic and healthy patients with ASM cells in vitro. This will be done using non-stimulated eosinophils or eosinophils activated with Interleukin-5 (IL-5)and Interleukin-3 (IL-3). ASM proliferation will be monitored by determining the levels of the proliferation marker Ki-67 expression in ASM cells.
Specific aim 2. Understanding the mechanism by which eosinophils enhance ASM proliferation.
In this specific aim, we will study the mechanism by which eosinophils enhance the proliferation of ASM cells. To study if this effect of eosinophils is done through direct contact with ASM cells, we will co-culture ASM cells with eosinophils membrane fractions. Moreover, we will examine the effect of cytokines and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins produced by eosinophils on smooth muscle cells

grass planting
My yard was regraded with a bobcat the other day, and though it isn't absolutely the way I want it, I wont be messing with it for at least a few months, or maybe even a year or two. I'd love to have some grass in the mean time though. So.
Should I just go ahead and plant the grass, like I said the ground was all broken up by the bobcat, will this be suitable for grass growth? Or is there something else I should do to it? It's very loose soil now, when it rains you sink a good inch or two in it.
I don't want a spectacular lawn, I just don't want to see mud all day. Anything is better than that. I really don't want to spend more than a few hundred dollars for materials and all. I'll do the seeding myself. Thanks!
Its a little late in the season with the heat coming on but depending on the size of your yard its worth a shot.
Do you know if its subsoil or topsoil your working with?
I would suggest checking the soil analysis with a test kit first and see what you have as far as PH etc.
If it's just not wanting to "look at mud all day", another option is picking up some "meadow mix". They sell it here in the garden centres, and it's basically a mix of wild flower seeds, and such and depending on the size of yard, could give you a little meadow-like garden... just another option...
"I wont be messing with it for at least a few months, or maybe even a year or two."
This may mean never. I'd put down some soil conditioner, and till it up. Then, I'd use a roller and pack the dirt down. Put down grass seed, some starter fertilizer, and then some straw. If you don't do anything, that's ok too, because soon weeds will take over and you'll get greenery, but bad greenery.
The straw will hold some of the moisture, so the seeds most likely will germinate, but you won't get anything thick and lush. You'll have to water at least twice a day to get the seed to germinate though. Once again, you'll need a roller because otherwise, the ground will be too squishy.
Since you live in Ohio, it might not be too late to seed.
Maybe you could lay some mulch over it now, and till it in later when you decide to plant grass? Your local building supply might have huge mounds of suitable wood chips, mulch, etc. I think a yard covered with mulch would be better than dirt.
You could have it delivered by truck, wheel barrow it into the back yard and spread it out. You pay by the cubic yard and for delivery, it shouldn't be too much. Also you need to figure out how many cubic yards to cover the yard.
I HAVE a huge mound of pine mulch from when my trees were cut down... i'll look into it.
Be wary, pine is a termite's favorite treat.

Two adults, three children displaced after duplex fire in Indio
INDIO, Calif. - Two adults and three children were displaced this afternoon when a fire damaged a duplex in Indio, a county fire department spokeswoman said.
The non-injury blaze, which damaged two units -- one of which was unoccupied -- was reported about 1:40 p.m. at 82329 Valencia Ave.
It was originally a two-alarm fire, but the second alarm was canceled and the flames were extinguished by about 2 p.m., Riverside County Fire Department spokeswoman Melody Hendrickson said.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the residents, she said. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

2001 STS with one hell of a ignition switch that my key wont turn
I would first like say thanks to everyone for the WEALTH of information on contained within these forums...it really makes being a lifetime cadillac owner worth it, and saves a single father of two lots of money!!
With that said I have a troubling, stressfull problem.... On Sunday (11/08/09) I made the decision to save myself some of those afformentioned dollars by replacing my plenum boot. Thanks to the users in this forum who share the info they obtain thru the trial and error processes of car maintainance, this was a relatively smooth process. I unplugged the battery (safety precautions) and proceeded to work and was In and out within 1.5 hrs....Naturally I was feeling good, and satisfied being it was my first major piece of work I had done on my car aside from fixing a flat.
Long story short, wrapped everthing up put the tools back in place and was ready to get my car back on the road. When I went to stat the car, the ignition switch would not turn at all
I tried everything. For two hours I was turning the wheel back and forth, jarring the stick, shaking the car, even jacked it up while jostiling the ke in the ignition....there was nothing that worked
So basically I decided that my ignintion switch had given out, as I have had problems trying to turn the key before, and decided that replacing it would be my best option....Again the users and moderators here with thier wealth of knoweledge and expertise have come in extremely helpfull as I was able to access the steps to remove and replace the faulty lock and tumbler mech.
Per the instructions provided in the switch needs to be turned to the ON position in order for the park lock cable to be removed....I cant turn the key at all....so I am stuck in a rut!! Is there a solution, can someone please help...I have been at this for two days and I am desperate for a remedy!!!
Thanks in advance,
BTW....Went to the dealer and had them cut a new key....I think this genius cut it from the same my key which he admitted was well worn down instead of using a master....Needless to say neither work in the ignition or the trunk lock, just the door.
Re: 2001 STS with one hell of a ignition switch that my key wont turn
When you pulled your plenum, did you move the shifter cable where it loops around the intake air tube between the throttle body and the filter? Does the transmission show that it is in park on the dash? The cable attaches to the top of the transmission just below the master cylinder and goes thru a switch that determines which gear the transmission will be in (it is an electronically controlled shifter). Pull the shifter cable off of the attachment arm on the transmission (its a ball and socket connection) and pull that lever all the way forward (that should be the park position), then try to start the car. If its out of adjustment, theres a procedure for getting it readjusted, but I don't have it at work.
Also make sure the electrical connector is attached to the switch on the top of the transmission, or you won't be able to start it either.

Green Bay returns 10 players from a 2011 squad that went 11-18 overall and 7-9 in conference play. Among those returning is senior libero Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.), who was recently selected to the seven-member Preseason All-Horizon League Team. The 2011 all-league performer averaged a school-record 5.78 digs per set as a junior last season - a figure that ranked ninth among NCAA Division I players.
Also back for her senior
campaign is Carmen Leitermann
(Schofield, Wis.), who finished second on the team and eighth in the conference
with 302 kills. Junior setter Leah Poel
(Jenison, Mich.) also returns after a breakout sophomore campaign in which she
led the Horizon League with 1,210 assists - the fifth-highest single season
total in Phoenix history.
In addition to the group of returners, the Phoenix welcomes in a talented, five-member freshman class. The group of newcomers includes middle blockers Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) and Sophie Jaskulske (St. Paul, Minn.), setter/right side Taylor Kasal (Downers Grove, Ill.), libero Becca Mastey (Pulaski, Wis.) and outside hitter Stefanie Siroin (Washburn, Wis.).
The Phoenix is coached by Debbie Kirch, who begins her 16th season at Green Bay in 2012.
Each of Green Bay's three opponents in the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament comes from conferences rated in the top 10 in the RPI. The Southeastern Conference (Auburn) is rated third, the Mid-American Conference (Central Michigan) is seventh and the Missouri Valley Conference (Drake) is 10th.
Drake, coming off a 9-23 record in 2011, features a young roster that includes 10 freshmen and sophomores. The Phoenix is 2-10 all-time against the Bulldogs, with the last meeting resulting in a 3-0 loss on Sept. 10, 2010 in Des Moines, Iowa. Green Bay last defeated Drake during the 2006 season, picking up a 3-0 home win. The Bulldogs are guided by second-year head coach Tony Sunga.
Central Michigan enters the year with high expectations following a MAC Tournament Championship and NCAA berth in 2011. The Chippewas return five starters and its primary libero from last year's squad, and were recently picked third in the MAC West. Green Bay trails 4-3 in the all-time series with the Chippewas, most recently falling 3-0 to CMU in 2009. CMU is coached by Erik Olson, who is in his ninth season.
Auburn, coming off a 2011
campaign in which it went 11-19, returns four starters (plus libero) and 10
total letter winners. Auburn will make its first ever trip to Green Bay and the
two schools will meet for just the second time in history. The Tigers won the
lone meeting between the two teams, a 3-0 result on a neutral court in 1998.
Auburn is led by head coach Rock Nold, who is in his second season.
Following the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament the Phoenix heads to DeKalb, Ill., on Aug. 28 to face Northern Illinois - another NCAA Tournament team from a year ago - in its first road contest of the season. The Huskies, the regular season MAC champs, went 28-7 in 2011 and earned an at-large bid to its sixth NCAA Tournament.

Thanks for the reply. Ive been making progress of my own. I managed to get DNS requests to show up on my outbound interface, but im getting destination unreachable erros. On wireshark it looks like this.
Monitoring at0
192.168.0.55(client)>>>192.168.0.1(at0) DNS Standard Query A www.google.com (Bar in Blue)
(This is the request for google from my client)
Then when I look at wlan0 (NIC to router and internet) I see:
192.168.0.1>>>>192.168.0.55 ICMP Destination unreachable [Port unreachable] (Bar in Black)
(This same msg gets sent back to at0 and the client is blackholed)
So my clients are getting IPs and their DNS requests are getting routed to the correct interface, it seems like the interface just doesnt know what to do with the DNS requests. I figured Masqing would solve this problem, however when I add the lines you put up from page 4 (modified for my subnet of course) I no long recieve the ICMP error. Instead I can no longer see any kind of activity making it to wlan0 from at0 and my client just keeps sending the DNS request into space untill it times out.
If you could possibly post the output from:
#iptables -L
#iptables -t nat -L
or any other configs you think might be useful id like to compare what I have to your working config.
3:18 AM, I GOT IT! Posting from a client connected to my fake AP now. Went back and did everything over again from the start. Im not sure what I was doing wrong before but it sure is working now. Finally I can get some damn sleep... Going to have sweet dreams of flawless connectivity, and not of nightmarish syntax errors!
Ill sort out all the logs and stuff tomarrow and hopefully be able to replicate my success.

While Spotify continues to face delays launching in the lucrative US market, it has announced a deal with Logitech which will make it accessible on a range of devices here in Europe.
In September it was announced that Spotify would be available on Sonos products and now it will be available on the Logitech Squeezebox network music players. However you will need a Spotify Premium subscription in order to get access to the service. It will be available on the Logitech Squeezebox Touch and Squeezebox Radio players from today.
"Whatever music you like from wherever in the world, Spotify and Squeezebox make it even easier for you to sit back, listen and relax in any room in your home. Logitech is delighted to add Spotify to its family of online music services for the Squeezebox product line," said Romain Du Gardier, senior product manager for Logitech EMEA. While the need for a premium subscription may put a lot of people off using this service, you will get CD-quality 320 kbps sound, offline and mobile access, as well as exclusive music content for your outlay.
A fully featured test version of the Spotify app for Squeezebox Touch and Squeezebox Radio owners is available today in Beta form here, prior to a full rollout expected in the near future. Spotify is currently available in Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden as well as the UK.

Maurie Daly's early life in Chippendale, during the Depression, was spent watching his working-class parents struggle to survive in an era of unemployment, violence and housing evictions. This formed a commitment to community service that guided much of his life.
Maurice Patrick Daly was born on October 31, 1934, in inner Sydney, one of two sons of Herbert Daly and his wife, Ethel Flaherty. He went to Blackfriars Primary School in Chippendale and at 11 won a state bursary that enabled him to go to the Marist College in Darlinghurst, an opportunity his family could never have afforded otherwise. There he studied hard, determined not to waste his opportunity, and played cricket and rugby league. In 1951 he completed his Leaving Certificate, finishing top of the school in Latin.
On leaving school at 17 he joined the Sydney City Council as a clerk. Two years on he did his compulsory 12 months national service, which he described in his laconic way as "fighting in the battle of Holsworthy". He felt that the service was important but not comparable to that of his father, who had been a sergeant in World War II.
After this, Daly went back to the council, still as a clerk, but soon decided, along with his friend Les Keegan, to go woodcutting in Papua New Guinea. He was there four years, having a wonderful time and continuing with his rugby league. At one point he even played for New Guinea.
He returned to Australia in 1959 and went back to work for the council. He also met Noelene Costello at a pub at Woollahra and they married in 1963. About this time, just by chance, he heard of a relatively new concept in banking called a "credit union", which assisted struggling and working-class people to get loans and financial services outside the heavy constraints of the banks at the time. He decided it was something in which he wanted to play a part.
From 1964, he worked as a volunteer at Sydney City Council Employees Credit Union, and then was employed as assistant manager in 1966. After several years he became general manager of what was by then the Sydney Credit Union, and he held the position for 27 years.
His time at the credit union was one of rapid growth, an extension of financial services to its members and of innovations, including the introduction of the now ubiquitous automatic teller machine.
Daly was also instrumental in liaising with other countries interested in forming credit unions, and obtaining guarantees of members' funds in the event of a credit union failure. He retired from full-time work after a minor stroke in 1998.
In 1972, an experience in rescuing a drowned swimmer at the Botany pool helped form Maurie and Noelene's commitment to swimming, including teaching and encouraging other people to swim.
The next year, Daly went to the Randwick and Coogee Amateur Swimming Club and wholeheartedly joined in work there. At first he helped with the running of the club, then in 1975 he became its president - a position he held for 33 years. It was a time of growth for the club and included its move to Wylies Baths at Coogee in 1978.
The move to the historic baths (which were dilapidated and relying on dribs and drabs of grant money) also gave Daly impetus to help establish a management committee, which eventually became the Wylies Baths Trust, the first of its kind in NSW. This trust, with him as secretary, has managed the pool since 1978.
Daly was awarded a life membership of the club in 1984 and retired as president in 2007. He was also awarded a life membership of the trust this year when he retired as secretary.
Under his administration, the work that went into the renovation of the baths was recognised when the restoration team won the 1995 Francis Greenway Conservation Medal from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for the work. The baths was put on the NSW State Heritage Register of the NSW Department of Planning in 2003 and are also on the list of the 60 ocean baths classified by the National Trust.
Maurie Daly is survived by Noelene, daughter Cheryl and son Gary, grandson Luke, and his brother, Wally.

Carr's ministers savaged over Orange Grove affair
Page Tools
The careers of two state ministers are on the line after a damning submission to the corruption watchdog on their behaviour in the Orange Grove affair.
The junior planning minister, Diane Beamer, failed to act impartially when she blocked rezoning of the Orange Grove factory outlet, and evidence of the Housing Minister, Joe Tripodi, was "not reliable", according to counsel assisting the Independent Com-mission Against Corruption inquiry into the case.
But the draft submission by Jeremy Gormly, SC, clears the Premier, Bob Carr, of any wrongdoing. The commission is still to rule on the allegations of corruption surrounding the decision to close the outlet.
Orange Grove's owner, Nabil Gazal, said last May that Mr Tripodi had told him the State Government was closing his centre as a favour to a nearby rival, Westfield, something Mr Tripodi denied.
A month before, a Westfield executive, Mark Ryan, met Mr Carr's chief of staff, Graeme Wedderburn, and alleged corruption in the original planning approval for Mr Gazal's centre.
These concerns were passed on to Mr Carr as well as Ms Beamer.
In his submission, seen by the Herald, Mr Gormly says there was no evidence to support the Government's concerns that this was the case. He also accepts the Gazal camp's version of events as more believable.
Mr Gormly says Mr Ryan "could not have had a personal belief that corruption had occurred because he had no evidence on which to base that belief".
He acknowledges Mr Ryan may have had suspicions and that he was entitled to report them but nothing more. "Yet he did do more. He asserted there was corruption in the [development application] and that the ministerial decision making process was at risk."
Mr Wedderburn acted appropriately in listening to Mr Ryan's concerns but not when he failed to test whether they were true. "He does not appear to have considered the prejudicial nature of the allegations or the impact they might have, or be perceived to have, in poisoning the minister's mind against [Mr Gazal's company] Gazcorp."
Ms Beamer also assumed the allegations were true, and so refused to hear from Gazcorp. As a result her decision was "fatally flawed and not capable at the least, of the title impartial either under the ICAC Act in administrative law, in the eyes of the adversely affected party or in the eyes of any other person likely to have their fate determined by exercise of a statutory ministerial discretion".
Mr Gormly says that Mr Gazal's version of his meeting with Mr Tripodi on May 22 last year was to be preferred. He describes Mr Tripodi's evidence as not showing the "same amount of frankness", as "unsatisfactory and unconvincing" and "not reliable'.
There is no mention of the Planning Minister, Craig Knowles, in the submission. Mr Knowles opened Mr Gazal's centre and was lobbied by Gazcorp but was not involved in its rezoning.
The submission also finds no evidence of "a favouring of Mr Lowy for personal reasons" or evidence of Mr Carr giving explicit instructions to block the Orange Grove development to protect the Government.
Mr Gormly recommends tightening parliamentary codes of conduct in light of Mr Tripodi's decision to borrow Mr Gazal's luxury cruiser midway through Mr Gazal's lobbying efforts.
He also wants the Government to implement systems within each department for handling corruption allegations.
While there are no specific recommendations against any individual, Mr Gormly raises whether Ms Beamer's and Mr Ryan's actions fall within the technical definition of corrupt conduct in the ICAC act.
The submission is set for release this month, with a decision expected several weeks after that.

Post subject: DRAFT
SO far...
1 (22). Mark Clayton, WR, Oklahoma
2 (53). Dan Cody, DE, Oklahoma
Even though ive been arguing against a 1st round receiver, I respect Clayton in the 1st if the FO thinks its a good move. Also, Cody is a steal at 53. The BPA strategy is amazing. We dont worry about needs, we go after the best potential we can find. This may be the best value of our draft. Some had him projected as a top 15 or top 20 pick.
In the third lots of corners may be available. Brandon Browner, Eric Green, and Justin Miller are all on the board. Any of these would be great IMO.

Adam Terry, OT Syracuse (64) via a trade up into the bottom of the second round!
I'd also said many times that I wouldn't like to see a receiver taken in the first round (unless it was a trade up for Mike Williams.. and he did fall.. oh well). But you said it perfectly sp6488, and I'm not about to start second guessing the front office's pick either, especially when guys like Derrick Johnson, David Pollack, Erasmus James, Alex Barron and Marcus Spears had all gone off the board.
I also agree that Dan Cody was excellent value at 53. He's a good fit, and in a few years he could play a similar role to the one that Michael McCrary did.

like the rest of us i wasnt 100% supporting a first round WR, however i think that with the guys that had gone off the board, Clayton was the BPA and would satisfy a major need at the same time. I also feel that Cody was a steal in the 2nd, i was hoping for Roth, but Cody is just fine with me. I like the trade up for Terry although i think 2 3rds and a 6th may have been a little too much, however i really like Terry and Ozzie must to to trade up for him, so he must be worth it.

2 3rds and a 6th!!!
Is that what they gave up? That's too much. I hope he can play LT eventually because there was no urgency to trade up for a RT with the depth in this draft. He better be worth it.

According to this
He is expected to compete with Zeus for the RT spot.
Terry played left tackle with the Orange, but the Ravens will allow him to compete with Orlando Brown for the starting right tackle job in Baltimore.

In this draft, which is so deep in talent, it's just unnecessary to trade up for a RT, when there are so many good options later on.
Now if they wanted Terry because they see him as Jonathan Ogden's eventual replacement at LT, then that's a different story. But if they strictly consider him a RT only, then I don't think this move was worth the price, in the context of things.

The trade comes out quite close in the value charts so I don't think we overpaid, besides we will probably be getting that pick in the 3rd round back in compensation picks with the amount of free agent starters we lost this year.

Post subject: Adam Terry Pick and Trade
First of all Adam Terry played left tackle in college and I believe is seen as the replacement/ heir apparent to Ogden.
Second, in talking about what the Ravens had to give up, a precedent was set by the Carolina - Seattle trade. Seattle moved up 9 spots in the second round and gave Carolina it's 2nd rounder and two 4th round picks this year. I felt like this trade lost the Ravens any position to bargin.
So far I am very happy with the draft and I look for the Ravens to take a CB, S, and DT in the upcoming four rounds. If Elton Brown gets to us in the 4th I wouldn't be surprised if we took him. (Does anyone know why he fell? He was a 1st round prospect)
thanks to TitanFan1990 for the sig.

Elton Brown had issues at the combine/workouts and that dropped his stock, but I still thought he'd be a 3rd round pick.

I know that it corresponds with the value chart. What I'm saying is that if he's only seen as a RT then we just didn't need to move up to get one. There were several other prospects that we could have taken later on (Chris Colmer or Ray Willis with the 3rd -84-), and kept the other picks to use later on. That sixth round pick could have turned into Brandon Browner!!
But look, if they wanted a LT, and think he can move across in a few years to succeed Odgen then I guess it makes more sense.
I'm not saying we overpaid, I just don't think it was a smart move unless we've found our future LT.

And Mangum swears that his knowledge of Esperanto better prepared him to learn Spanish.
Esperanto fell well short of Zamenhof's goal of a universal second language, but it was not a complete failure.
Nowhere is this pipe dream more obvious than in the history of Esperanto, one of the world's most well-known invented languages.
To this day, many Esperanto enthusiasts, including Doug Mangum of Greensboro, N.C., share in this frustration.
He had "crossed the Rubicon," and Esperanto was given to the World!
The universal language of humanity is neither Volapuk, nor Esperanto, nor Ido.
His point was: "Of course literary men care less for Esperanto than scientific men do: it must be so, because they need it less."
True, individuals have invented Esperanto and other artificial languages.
The effort now being made to popularise the international language "Esperanto" is one such commencement.
He flung what few phrases of Latin and Esperanto he had at them.
1892, from Doktoro Esperanto, whose name means in Esperanto, "one who hopes," pen name used on the title page of a book about the artificial would-be universal language published 1887 by its inventor, Lazarus Ludwig Zamenhof (1859-1917). Cf. Spanish esperanza "hope," from esperar, from Latin sperare (see speed (n.)).

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Sick of seeing more stupid vacumn cleaners. Is this Woot-Vacumn.com?

ugh...crawling back into bed for a few more hours sleep after delivering newspapers stuffed with sale ads!
Hanging with Woot, waiting for the wife and munchkin to get up so we can drive to the family T-day gathering.
Makin' pancakes, makin' bacon pancakes
Happy T-Day to All!!
Getting ready to drive for 2.5 hours (likely longer because IH-20 traffic between Dallas and East Texas is likely to suck).
Its 9am, what do you think I am doing ? staying out of kitchen until dinner is ready..
Right now, I'm chillin' with a cup of coffee, while listening to "Alice's Restaurant" (a Thanksgiving tradition!)
Soon, I'll go to the grocery store and buy some fresh veggies to make salad and some dinner rolls because that's what I'll be bringing to our Thanksgiving PotLuck dinner at my parents' house.
...taking a poll on woot!
sitting in bed with my laptop and reading my email
I'm searching Woot of course for some super deals! Everyone else has their jobs, this is mine.

The world's best surfers took to the lineup this afternoon to battle it out in clean three foot (1 metre) waves on offer at Bells Beach as the Rip Curl Women's Pro presented by {{{Ford}}} Fiesta ran through Round 3 of competition, determining the eight remaining Quarterfinalists.
Stop No. 2 of 8 on the 2008 ASP Women's World Tour, the Rip Curl Women's Pro has showcased the undeniable talents of the world's best surfers over the past few days, and with three ASP Women's World Champions as well as four past winners of the ASP Women's World Tour event at Bells Beach remaining in the draw, the finale of the 2008 Rip Curl Women's Pro is shaping up to be an impressive affair.
Layne Beachley (AUS), seven-time ASP Women's World Champion and three-time winner of the ASP Women's World Tour event at Bells Beach ('94, '98, '99), displayed her refined form this afternoon, collecting the day's high heat total of a 16.96 out of a possible 20 en route to her Round 3 victory over Serena Brooke (AUS).
"The surf out there today is really touch and go," Beachley said. "Some heats will have plenty of waves breaking through the bowl while others will only have one or two. I tried to get a few waves under my belt at the start and really tried to use the whole wave and surf them all the way to the beach."
Beachley, who was absent from the winner's dais last season, is keen to put another victory on her scorecard, eyeing the Rip Curl Women's Pro title as a fitting start to her 2008 ASP Women's World Title campaign.
"Last year was the first season in a long time that I wasn't able to win an event," Beachley said. "I came close a few times – I lost to Steph (Gilmore) in Peru in the last few seconds. I think a lot of my focus has been detracted by trying to run a business as well as the richest women's surfing event in history, and to go after the ASP Women's World Title, you need to make that your primary focus. I'm super motivated to perform this year, and I would love to ring the bell come the end of the contest."
Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), reigning ASP Women's World Champion and defending Rip Curl Women's Pro Champion, dispatched of 2008 ASP Women's World Tour rookie Karina Petroni (USA) this afternoon, opening with a solid 8.67 out of a possible 10 to put the pressure on the young Floridian in the inconsistent conditions.
"I was very happy to get that wave under my belt early as there haven't been too many coming through out there," Gilmore said. "I guess I didn't feel like I did a whole lot to merit that kind of a score, but I was pleased when I heard it."
Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), who was absent from the season opener on the Gold Coast of Australia due to injury, looks to be back in fine form at Bells Beach, posting a solid 14.67 out of a possible 20, advancing through to the Quarterfinals.
"I was really pleased to get an 8.17 in that heat as there haven't been too many good waves coming through the bowl today," Miley-Dyer said. "I've only been surfing for about a week since the injury so to get through to the Quarterfinals and post a solid score is a real confidence boost."
Miley-Dyer will square off against current world No. 1 Sofia Mulanovich (PER) in Quarterfinal 3 when competition resumes.
When Rip Curl Women's Pro competition recommences, Samantha Cornish (AUS) and Layne Beachley (AUS) will begin Quarterfinal action with the opening heat.
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7:30am to determine the official call for the day.
Both the Rip Curl Pro and the Rip Curl Women's Pro will be webcast LIVE via www.ASPWorldTour.com

Gerda Lerner, a Feminist and Historian, Dies at 92
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Reprinted from the New York Times
Gerda Lerner, a scholar and author who helped make the study of women and their lives a legitimate subject for historians and spearheaded the creation of the first graduate program in women's history in the United States, died on Wednesday in Madison, Wis. She was 92.
Her death was confirmed by Steve J. Stern, a history professor and friend at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where Dr. Lerner had taught for many years.
In the mid-1960s, armed with a doctorate in history from Columbia University and a dissertation on two abolitionist sisters from South Carolina, Dr. Lerner entered an academic world in which women's history scarcely existed. The number of historians interested in the subject, she told The New York Times in 1973, "could have fit into a telephone booth."
"In my courses, the teachers told me about a world in which ostensibly one-half the human race is doing everything significant and the other half doesn't exist," Dr. Lerner told The Chicago Tribune in 1993. "I asked myself how this checked against my own life experience. 'This is garbage; this is not the world in which I have lived,' I said."
That picture changed rapidly, in large part because of her efforts while teaching at Sarah Lawrence College in the early 1970s. In creating a graduate program there, Dr. Lerner set about trying to establish women's history as a respected academic discipline and to raising the status of women in the historical profession. She also began gathering and publishing the primary source material — diaries, letters, speeches and so on — that would allow historians to reconstruct the lives of women.
"She made it happen," said Alice Kessler-Harris, a history professor at Columbia. "She established women's history as not just a valid but a central area of scholarship. If you look at any library today, you will see hundreds of books on the subject."

Irish question
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (February 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Irish Question was a phrase used mainly by members of the British ruling classes from the early 19th century until the 1920s. It was used to describe Irish nationalism and the calls for Irish independence.
The phrase came to prominence as a result of the 1800 Act of Union which forced the parliament of Ireland into a single governing body with the parliament of Great Britain, based in Westminster, with its usage persisting until the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, which partitioned the island into two territories: a state now called Ireland (which was originally called the Irish Free State), and Northern Ireland, which remains part of the United Kingdom.
In 1844, a future British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, defined the Irish Question:
A dense population, in extreme distress, inhabit an island where there is an Established Church, which is not their Church, and a territorial aristocracy the richest of whom live in foreign capitals. Thus you have a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church; and in addition the weakest executive in the world. That is the Irish Question.'— Hansard[1]
In 1886, with the introduction of the first Home Rule Bill in the House of Commons, the term 'the Anglo-Irish Quarrel'[2] gained favour and became more acceptable than the implied condescension of 'the Irish Question'.
Issues relating to Northern Ireland since the 1920s are often referred to as either "The Troubles" or "The Irish Problem".
The Irish question affected British politics much the way that the nationalities problem affected Austria. Normal British domestic issues could not be adequately addressed because of the political divisions created by the oppression of Ireland. The split of the Liberal Party hurt the cause of further social and political reform. The people who could agree about reforms could not agree on Ireland, and Ireland seemed more important. Because the two traditional parties failed to deal with the social questions, by the turn of the 20th century a newly organised Labour Party began to fill the vacuum.

Moravian funerals are similar to many other Christian traditions in that they are characterized by both grief and joy. Members of this faith grieve the loss of loved ones, but they believe that through salvation eternity is ever hopeful. Moravian believers are often heard saying that the deceased has "entered into the immediate presence of the Savior." This is an indication of their belief that life and death are both blessings.
Moravian funerals share many similarities with other Christian funeral traditions. However, one unique characteristic of Moravian funerals is the reading of the Lebenslauf of the deceased. The Lebenslauf (German for "life path") is a short account of the deceased's life. Much like a memoir, it is shared with the members of the congregation and funeral visitors. It includes a brief account of the deceased's faith, and it is meant to be an encouraging example to those who are left behind.
Music is a very important part of Moravian funeral traditions. Generally speaking, a volunteer band will play music at the gravesite, and the choir may also be asked to sing. Even bishops and other leaders of the church take time out to play in the band to display their encouragement and comfort for mourners. Funeral services traditionally being in the church sanctuary, and they are followed by a procession to the cemetery for interment. In some churches, the cemetery is visited again annually at Easter as a form of remembrance for those who have died.
Similar to other traditions, Moravians focus on the simplicity of burial grounds. They believe in uniform, plain grave markers and inscriptions to emphasize the equality of all human beings.
The current pastor of the deceased's home church presides at the funeral services, although other pastors may also be asked to participate. The church organist usually plays music during the funeral service.
Pre-planning for funeral arrangement is done whenever possible, and the deceased often makes decisions about the service beforehand. They may elect to have their services in the sanctuary or chapel of the church, at graveside, a funeral home, or another location.
The Bible is an integral part of worship in the Moravian church. As such, scripture readings are an important part of church functions. They are traditionally read at funeral services as well, and favorite passages of the deceased may be used as part of the event. Favorite hymns and songs are also played or sung at the funeral service. Each service is unique, so the length depends on the readings and musical selections that are chosen.

Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King (Vintage) (edition 2010)
by Brad Matsen
Work details
Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King by Brad Matsen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Interesting but not very deep outline of Cousteau's life. He did so much in his life, it probably would have been fairer to him to highlight one time in his life, for example his time in WWII and the invention of the Aqualung, and then dealt with that in more detail.
I didn't grow up watch Cousteau's films or television series. In fact, my first introduction to him was via Bill Murray's character in Wes Anderson's A Life Aquatic, which was inspired by Cousteau.
Matsen portrays Cousteau as a flawed explorer, environmentalist and philosopher who inspired a generation to look beyond land's limits and under the water. His work to focus the world's attention on the health of the oceans and the need for sustainable practices cannot be underestimated. Nor can his contribution to the invention of the Aqua-Lung and advancing water-based technologies.
Far from idolising Cousteau, Matsen's writing feels authentic and provides the reader with a character study that looks beyond his lengthy achievements.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (3)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 037542413X, Hardcover)Jacques Cousteau opened up the undersea world as no one has done before or since. But not generally know is the fascinating and compelling individual behind the acclaimed television personality.
With the cooperation of many of Jacques Cousteau's collaborators, friends, and family, Brad Matsen gives us the first full picture of this remarkable life. Here is Cousteau working for the French resistance during World War II (for which he received France's Croix de Guerre); developing—and risking his life to test—the regulator that made scuba diving possible; running the world's largest scuba equipment manufacturing firm; becoming a legendary catalyst of the worldwide environmental movement; starring in The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau and in hundreds of documentaries; and publishing more than fifty books. And here is the widowed Cousteau marrying his longtime mistress—forty years his junior and the mother of two of his children—kindling a bitter family feud that continues to this day.
Vividly conveying the people, the adventure, the science, and the lure of the sea that shaped Cousteau's life, Matsen paints a luminous portrait of a man who profoundly changed the way we view, and treat, our planet.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:57 -0400)
Draws on the testimony of the ocean explorer's family and close associates to cover such topics as Cousteau's work with the French resistance, his contributions to scuba technology, and his efforts on behalf of the environment.

The present paper is divided into two parts. First, we introduce implicit and explicit iterative schemes based on the regularization for solving equilibrium and constrained convex minimization problems. We establish results on the strong convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed schemes to a common solution of minimization and equilibrium problem. Such a point is also a solution of a variational inequality. In the second part, as applications, we apply the algorithm to solve split feasibility problem and equilibrium problem.

2003 Double Up Luke Wulf Pro 133
This board is designed to ride shorter and wider, maximizing pop and rotation. Minor molded fins add efficient tracking but will allow the board to break free with ease. The Luke Wulf Pro uses a variable edge design which has a softer edge in the center of the board, and progresses to a har, cupped rail at the tip and tail.

Three Strikes with Randy Smith Padres Director of Player Development and International Scouting:
Is this the most talented pitching staff that you have sent to Fort Wayne?
Randy Smith: The one we sent their last year led by [Adys] Portillo and [Matt] Wisler was pretty good too so these guys are going to have to earn it. They have some big shoes to fill but they are really talented too.
Can you go over how the six man rotation is going to work?
Randy Smith: A lot of things are going to depend upon promotions and injuries. We are definitely going to run it for the first few months because we are sending a lot of young guys out there and we really want to be careful with injuries.
Who stands out for you among the position players?
Randy Smith: [Luis] Tejada is really talented and could have a huge year. [Jeremy] Baltz had a very good spring and it's hard to not like the speed that Mallex Smith brings to the table. Really I think we have some very good prospects at every position and the outfield has some really good athletes.
|Luis Tejada
|Joe Ross
|Maxx Tissenbaum
|Max Fried
|Stephen Carmon
|Justin Hancock
|Gabriel Quintana
|Zach Eflin
|Dane Phillips
|Walker Weickel
|Corey Adamson
|Tayron Guerrero
|Brian Adams
|Chris Nunn
|Jeremy Baltz
|Roman Madrid
MadFriars' Top 20 Prospects in Fort Wayne: Max Fried (#6), Joe Ross (#11), Zach Eflin (#17) and Walker Weickel #19.
Catch a Rising Star: Some baseball draft pundits thought Fried had a shot to be the overall top pick of last year's draft. As many baseball people have stated you just don't find lefties with his firm fastball and pitching aptitude.
|Hancock also returns for a second stint in Fort Wayne.
|(Jeff Oliver)
Pen: Roman Madrid is a big guy whose power slider made him the closer with the Eugene Emeralds last summer. He was 7-0 with a 44/11 K/BB ratio. Lefty Chris Nunn had an 0.57 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 31.1 innings pitched. He didn't allow a run in his first eighteen appearances with the Emeralds which isn't bad for a twenty-fourth round pick in the 2012 draft from Lipscomb University.
Infield: Tissenbaum and Carmon should be a really exciting double-play combination this summer for the TinCaps. Both are left-handed hitters who walked more than they struck out in Eugene and are solid defensive players. Carmon, a 2012 tenth round selection from the University of South Carolina-Aiken had a .383 OBP is an ideal candidate to hit at the top of the order with his speed and eye. Quintana can play both second and third and showed some pop in the Arizona League. As mentioned in the opening with Randy Smith, Tejada is a big rangy player whom the Padres think will develop more power as he gets older. Last year in the AZL he had a slash line of .293/.352/.370.
Catching: Both Dane Phillips and Rodney Daal should see significant time behind the plate and at DH this year. The left-handed hitting Phillips put up some big numbers in college but struggled his first year in Eugene. Daal, a native of the Netherlands, he speaks five languages and seems to be able to hit in all of them. He is still raw behind the plate but hit .306/.385/533 in the AZL and .288/.351/.364 in Eugene at 18.
|Baltz should be one of the offensive leaders for the TinCaps.
|(Jeff Oliver)
On the Spot: Corey Adamson signed with the Padres at 17 and this will be his third trip to Fort Wayne. He looked much better this spring and is only 21 but he is going to have to start to prove he is worth the $500,000 bonus San Diego gave him in 2009.
Under the Radar: Although four of the starters are in the MadFriars' Top 20 Justin Hancock may by the end of the season be joining them. Hancock had a 1.61 ERin 72.2 innings in Eugene and if his two-seamer continues to develop will put up some numbers in the Summit City.

installing lights in shower stall
1 Attachment(s)
Hi There.
In our master bedroom, the shower has a very dark green tile, which has no separate lighting inside.
I am planning on inserting a fixture but needed advice from someone who might know.
1) Must the light be situated in the centre of the shower stall or could I put it at the corner of stall where the ceiling meets the wall?
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with Canadian electrical code? I am not sure what is legal and what is not. I wanted to run a cable from an existing GFCI outlet to the left of this shower stall and connect it to a switch which then goes to a light fixture inside.
2) Is there a special kind of light that can be used? Waterproof? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I've included a picture with this email so you can get an idea of my situation.
i dont know if there are any waterproof lights that are for the interior of your house. i wouldnt be suprised if they have something like that for showers though. go to home depot or a lighting company and ask one of the employees if they have such a thing. if not you can put a recessed can light in there, they make shower trims for those.
In the US you can put an enclosed, wet location rated, flush mounted fixture in a shower stall.
IMO I would NOT in that stall. Too small.
Find a way to install a recessed in the ceiling.
As far as the feed, I'll defer that to a Canadian code person. In the US there are only certain times you can feed off the bath receptacle circuit.

Ohio Maple Madness in March including workshops, tour
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
FULTON, Ohio — College basketball fans anxiously wait for March Madness. Similarly, producers of maple syrup are counting down the days to Ohio's Maple Madness, a driving tour that takes thousands to sugar houses across the state to highlight Ohio's maple heritage and industry.
As a prelude to this drive-it-yourself tour, the Ohio Maple Producers Assoc. (OMPA) hosted maple workshops last month in the Ohio counties of Morrow, Wayne, Holmes and Geauga.
"Maple syrup is immensely important to the Geauga County economy," said Lynda Nemeth, director of Geauga County Tourism. "The maple sugaring season affords us an early jump on tourism, at a time when there's pretty much nothing else going."
Of the 12 maple syrup-producing states in the United States, Ohio consistently ranks fourth or fifth each year. And in Ohio, Geauga County is king, producing more syrup than any other county – a full 60 percent of all syrup produced in the state.
The reason is simple: Snow.
"Trees love moisture, they love rain and they love snow," said Jen Freeman, president of the OMPA. "The more snow a location receives, the longer and better the maple syrup season."
Workshops in the four counties showed producers how to improve the quality in maple products and how to successfully market those products. Experts in maple production talked about fungal contamination in maple syrup, canning protocols, visual displays and marketing, sugar-making, production statistics and more.
There were 86 in attendance for an Ohio Maple Days workshop in Fulton, in Morrow County. Jim and Eddie Lou Meimer of Pleiades Farms in Mount Gilead have produced 200 gallons so far this year on their 120 wooded acres. They began tapping in late January.
"We're seeing more young farmers at the workshop this year and an increase in young people doing the tapping," Eddie Lou said. "With this modern technology of high-pressure vacuum, people can get to areas they couldn't get to before."
Those wanting to catch some of the sap extraction in action can participate in the Ohio Maple Madness driving tour March 9-10 and March 16-17, sponsored by the OMPA.
"More and more, people like to know where their food is coming from," said Freeman. "They are planting gardens, raising chickens and making syrup. Plus, what else are you going to do this time of year? It's cruddy out."
Tour participants will find a variety of timber-framed sugarhouses boiling down sap over wood-fired evaporators. There will also be plenty of concessions. At Richards Maple Products in Chardon, one can sample a "sap dog" – a hot dog cooked in maple syrup and topped with maple mustard.
The largest tapping system may be at Creekside Maple farm in Middlefield. This farm boasts a 600-tap system. At Sugarbush Creek Farm, also in Middlefield, visitors can hop a ride to the high-tech sugarhouse via horse-drawn wagon. The driving tour covers 16 counties, with 15 stops in Geauga County, six in Ashtabula County, three in Trumbull County, two in Portage and Knox and one each in Cuyahoga, Hancock, Lake, Licking, Logan, Mahoning, Miami, Preble, Seneca, Stark, Summit and Wayne.

Turkey Conceals Its Oppression of Kurds
Published: September 2, 1992
To the Editor:
"Don't Shoot Down Iraqi Aircraft" (editorial, Aug. 19) states that not only Iraq but also Turkey represses its Kurdish population. However, Turkey's repression has gone far beyond bombardment of Kurdish villages in northern Iraq. Turkey is conducting major air strikes against Kurdish civilians within its borders. Unfortunately, the Turkish Government has hidden its actions in the Kurdish region of Turkey, which are largely unreported in the United States.
On Aug. 18, the Turkish military carried out heavy bombardments against the town of Sirnak and surrounding villages in the Kurdish region, killing more than 30 civilians, wounding hundreds and destroying homes and businesses. The Government has forbidden all press coverage of the event, and for three days, beginning Aug. 18, closed down all communication with the area, including roads and telephones. The Sirnak area strongly supports the Kurdish nationalist movement. Sirnak is one of the places where Turkish security forces killed unarmed Kurdish demonstrators during the Kurdish New Year's celebration last March.
Turkey is engaging in a systematic campaign of silencing press coverage of events in the Kurdish region. Last June, Helsinki Watch reported that five journalists had been killed since February under suspicious circumstances. Since June, three more journalists were murdered, and one was critically wounded. One was killed by security forces in March, and the rest by what appear to be Government-sanctioned death squads. The Government has made no arrests in these cases and conducted no serious investigations. These journalists were reporting on the situation of Kurds in southeastern Turkey.
Today, the Kurdish reality in Turkey is one of denial, continued forced assimilation, torture and murder. The use of the Kurdish language remains forbidden in schools and broadcasting, and Kurdish parties and organizations are prohibited. Even the display of the colors of the Kurdish flag is not permitted. The Kurdish region is controlled by the Turkish army, which continues to practice state terror to quell Kurdish aspirations. JULIA BINGER Secretary, Kurdistan Forum New York, Aug. 25, 1992

Day 100! And Jodie is Still In Her House!
One hundred days ago Morgan Stanley was threatening to send in the sheriffs and a moving truck the next morning to evict Jodie Randolph from her house in Alameda, California.
One hundred days ago Morgan Stanley was threatening to send in the sheriffs and a moving truck the next morning to evict Jodie Randolph from her house in Alameda, California.
One hundred days ago it looked like Jodie Randoph, grandmother and cancer patient, might be out in the street.
But it was also one hundred days ago that the Occupy Oakland Foreclosure Defense Group swung into action, invading Morgan Stanley's Oakland offices and calling for anyone and everyone to show up at 9:00 AM the next day to prevent the eviction.
The sheriff never showed up.
Since that time the OOFDG and friends have been maintaining watch on Jodie's house, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. If anyone were to attempt a move on the house calls would go out to hundreds of supporters.
That hasn't yet been necessary.
In December we marched on Morgan Stanley's San Francisco's offices, and on January 14th, Jodie sat down for the first time with representatives of Morgan Stanley to work out a loan modification.
Just a few days ago, all the documents and papers were submitted, and we await some sort of response from Morgan Stanley's decision makers.
It's not over 'til it's over, but one hundred days into it
The Occupy Oakland Foreclosure Defense Group would like to thank everyone who has contributed to Jodie's cause. Those who rallied at her house when the call went out on Day 1, those who have brought food to the house, those who have sat through numerous shifts at Jodie's house, those who have tweeted and facebooked, those who have commented in support, and everyone else who has helped in any way. Countless person-hours have gone into this effort, including more than an entire year's worth of labor keeping the house guarded.
If you are local and would like to join the effort, or help fight for others defrauded by the Big Banks, contact us here.

People are evicted each and every day. Your nobody gets put out is a blatant lie.
Saturday Feb 16th, 2013 10:06 AM
First off good work and congratulations to the people helping out. Secondly, The KKKorporation that is foreclosing on Jodie's house happened to get 220 Million dollar bailout for the two wives of the CEO according to Rolling Stone Magazine. This is great information for outreach and court position.

World Rocks Against Dementia
Power of Music
Within My Mind Single is now Live
Live stream direct from Torbay WRAD
We are delighted to announce that Riviera FM will be streaming live from the event on 19th March in Torbay.
Purple Angel Music Society
|Last week when a few of us sat around and discussed taking forward the World Rocks Against Dementia event next year (March 19th 2016) we never imagined that after two and a bit hours of throwing ideas about and writing things down that we would have definite plans and definite times and arena to hold an event, but we did, and we are so happy we have, its all so exciting, but there's more to come!!!One of the hardest things to discuss in anything like this is the money,
1, Where is it coming from?
Numbers one and two will hopefully be answered by sponsorship's and donations, if you would like to help support this event then please click on the donation button below. Every little helps
However, number three was a tough one, until we started to talk about the reason we are doing it and HOW IMPORTANT it is that music is used at every possible turn that is. It was then Lenny sat there and said PAMS!!I have to admit we all turned around and said PAM ?? what on earth ?? then he said NO !! P.A.M.SPurple Angel Music Society
As we came to terms with this name we thrashed it out and came up with this, i hope you like it and please let me know your thoughts.
The beauty of this event is that no matter where in the world you hold an event, whatever monies your raise on the day can be donated to whoever YOU WANT TO donate it to!! It can be your local dementia club, care home etc etc or wherever you want it to go, your in charge !!
What we have decided to do is set up a group called PAMS which will then pay for groups, artists, dancers, singers to play in Care homes, residential homes, Hospices, Hospitals over the next coming year until the next event and spend EVERY PENNY we raise on providing some kind of musical entertainment for ALL those touched by this awful disease, be it family members, carers or those diagnosed. it will be of course a non for profit operation.
So thats what we are going to do, there is TOO much evidence out there that proves music unlocks the brain so why not provide free music of any genre to those who it could help and improve their quality of life.
If this is only half as successful as the Global Purple Angel dementia campaign, I will be a very happy man.
Lots of Love from Norms xxxx

Kimberley: New Zealand stayed on course for making the Super Sixes of the World Cup after brushing aside Bangladesh by seven wickets on Wednesday. Craig McMillan hit 75 off 83 balls as the Kiwis overtook Bangladesh's modest 198 for seven in the 34th over at the De Beers Oval. The win helped New Zealand join Kenya and Sri Lanka at the top of Group 'B' on 12 points each, two ahead of the West Indies and four points clear of host South Africa. The Kiwis, who play Canada in their last match at Benoni next Monday, will have to wait till the league ends the next day to know their fate. For Bangladesh, it was its 28th defeat in the last 30 matches - the other two were washed out - with a game in hand against Kenya. McMillan and captain Stephen Fleming put on 71 for the first wicket by the 15th over when Khaled Mahmud took a return catch to grab the first of his three wickets. Mahmud clean bowled McMillan and removed pinch-hitter Andre Adams, before Scott Styris and Chris Cairns added 61 for the unbroken fourth wicket to take New Zealand home. Styris made 37 not out while Cairns returned unbeaten on 33 as Bangladesh found to its dismay that its best score in the tournament was child's play for the Kiwis. Earlier, Bangladesh captain Khaled Mashud and Mohammad Rafique smashed 70 off 69 balls for the unbroken eighth wicket after they were reduced to 128 for seven by the 39th over. Mashud, who won the toss and elected to bat, made 35 not out while Rafique hit three boundaries and two sixes in his 41 off 42 balls. The late onslaught came after a fine display by left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori who kept the batsmen under a tight leash by conceding just 19 runs in his 10 overs. Shane Bond and Jacob Oram picked up three wickets each, but fellow seamer Adams was plundered for 50 runs in his 10-over spell. Young batsman Mohammad Ashraful had earlier held the top order together with a stylish 56 before he gave Bond a return catch. But four other top order batsmen failed to reach double figures, before Mashud and Rafique repaired the damage with the slog in the end. Copyright AFP 2001

My father and I are going out to a lake in Central KS tomorrow. A.M. Im sure we will bag a bunch of mallards. Would love to hear how everyone does this weekend.
Good luck all! Be Safe!
