Preakness 2012: I'll Have Another runs down Bodemeister to keep Triple Crown hopes alive
BALTIMORE – I'll Have Another. And another. And another?
I'll Have Another, the Kentucky Derby winner, added the 137th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico to his win streak Saturday, setting up a Triple Crown bid in three weeks in the Belmont Stakes on June 9 at Belmont Park.
As he did in the Derby two weeks ago, I'll Have Another caught front-running Bodemeister in the final yards to prevail, but the Preakness was far closer, far more dramatic, and, for I'll Have Another, even more impressive.
Bodemeister got away with much saner fractions than he did in the Derby, leaving him with more in reserve for the stretch run of a race that is 110 yards shorter than the Derby. But I'll Have Another, again ridden flawlessly by Mario Gutierrez, wore down Bodemeister in the final yards to win by a neck.
As in the Derby, Gutierrez was riding in the Preakness for the first time.
The excellence with which the top two ran was underscored by the fact they finished 8 3/4 lengths clear of third-place Creative Cause, giving California-based 3-year-olds a sweep of the top three spots. And I'll Have Another completed 1 3/16 miles on the fast main track in 1:55.94, an excellent time over a surface that played deep and tiring all afternoon. The preliminary Beyer Speed Figure was a lofty 109.
[PREAKNESS STAKES: Replay, chart, complete postrace coverage]
Joel Rosario, rider of Creative Cause, rode in the race despite finding out earlier in the afternoon that his brother, a police officer in the Dominican Republic, had been killed in a traffic accident.
Zetterholm was fourth in the Preakness and was followed, in order, by Teeth of the Dog, Optimizer, Cozzetti, Tiger Walk, Daddy Nose Best, Went the Day Well, and Pretension.
Doug O'Neill trains I'll Have Another for owner Paul Reddam. He has won all four of his starts this year and has won 5 of 7 lifetime.
"I can't put this into words," O'Neill said. "What a horse. Mario was so patient. I'm numb.
"It seemed like he's been riding this racetrack his whole life," O'Neill said of Gutierrez. "He's so patient, and he kept him out of trouble."
I'll Have Another ($8.40) was much shorter than the 15-1 price he was in the Derby, but he was still the second choice to Bodemeister, who was favored in the Derby and was the 8-5 favorite in the Preakness. I'll Have Another had been at Pimlico for 12 days and had looked sensational in his gallops in the days preceding the race.
"He came out of the Derby unbelievable," O'Neill said. "He handled the track great every day."
It was a gorgeous afternoon at Pimlico, with high temperatures in the low 80s, very little humidity, and a comfortable breeze. The attendance was announced as 121,309, which would be a record.
The crowd let out a cheer as the gates opened. Bodemeister went to the front and set fractions of 23.79 seconds for the opening quarter-mile, 47.68 seconds for a half-mile, and 1:11.72 for six furlongs. By comparison, he ran the first six furlongs of the Derby in 1:09.80.
[PIMLICO SATURDAY: Stakes results and replays for Preakness undercard]
Creative Cause was his closest pursuer at that point of the Preakness, with I'll Have Another, who was three paths wide on the first turn in fourth place, continuing with an outside path down the backstretch and into the far turn.
Bodemeister began to draw away from Creative Cause at the top of the stretch, but then I'll Have Another kicked into gear. He was three lengths behind with a furlong to go.
"I didn't feel confident he was going to get there until 10 yards from the wire," Reddam said.
"Those are the kind of races you hate to lose," O'Neill said. "When you win – yelling at the top of your lungs, and see your horse in front at the wire – it's incredible."
Neither Bob Baffert, the trainer of Bodemeister, nor Mike Smith, who rode him, offered any excuses.
"I felt pretty good about where he was," Baffert said. "The fractions were more reasonable today. He just got a little late. And the winner's a good horse. He'll get the respect he deserves."
Said Smith: "He ran brilliant. I asked him to run, he opened up, laid it down, I said, 'There's no way he catches me.' I wasn't folding at the end. He just caught me, it's that plain and simple."
Baffert has seen enough of I'll Have Another for now. He said Bodemeister would not run in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont.
"The bus stops here," he said.
In the Belmont, I'll Have Another will be attempting to become Thoroughbred racing's 12th Triple Crown winner, and the first since Affirmed in 1978. The current drought is the longest since Sir Barton swept the Derby, Preakness, and Belmont in 1919.
Among those expected to face I'll Have Another in the Belmont are Dullahan, who was third in the Derby; and Union Rags, who finished seventh in the Derby after a rough trip. Both skipped the Preakness to await the Belmont.
"We're thinking Triple Crown, baby," O'Neill said. "He's a special horse."
O'Neill, who since the Derby has been subjected to national scrutiny over his record of medication violations, understands the attention will become more pronounced leading up to the Belmont.
"We know we play by the rules," said O'Neill, who might very well point to I'll Have Another winning the Derby and Preakness – Triple Crown races in two different states outside his home state of California – as Exhibits A and B.

job well done team another
Where's ANDY BEYER? Bode, Bode, Bode. Pretty much have to pick him in the Belmont to get even, huh? ............By daylight. Ha!
I said it before and I'll say it again: The Reddam Team and IHA are a team of destiny! The Racing Gods smiled upon them long ago and brought them all together at this time, in this place. The fruition of their journey will occur on June 9th. And when they cheer, all persons connected with the thoroughbred horse racing industry will stand-up and cheer with them. It will be a great day for racing - one sorely needed. A shinning moment of greatness echoing the great moments of its past and its honored horses and horsemen.
on a further ..there is another Million Dollar Race Tomorrow...these Pint size Crooks do not give a chytt ...see Jean Cruget ..7 consecutive odds on OFF the Board ...that J.Leparoux another one ..see his Stats on chalk ...all OFF the Board with a French Smile ...see his ride on I'll have Another ...its a JOKE to these Napoleon Complex thieves..

More breaking news: Beyer just assigned a 124 to the plane that took Bodemeister back to California and a 92 to the van that took I'll Have Another to Belmont Park where he will win the Triple Crown!!

The most trust worthy way of earning money online!
This is a perfect way of earning extra money for students who want to earn some little pocket money, for full time workers, for retirees and for stay-home moms or dads. This is not the kind of income that makes you rich or a millionaire overnight, but it will make you real extra money.
The easiest way to make money online is to click and get paid just for the click you have made. However, you have to be very careful in choosing the right one as most of the sites are scammers. Most of the PTC sites come and go after few months. They don't usually survive for long. They pay you for the first or second time, but after that they never pay you again.
There are few honest PTC sites that really pay their members without any lame excuses. These are the two sites that always pay me:
Neobux is the number 1 PTC site in the world. I, personally, love this site because it is where I make money monthly from home. I do not make millions or thousands yet, but I make $450 every single month and this amount means a lot to me.
Neobux has never disappointed anyone. It is an honest PTC site that pays its members instantly. If anyone wants to earn real money without any fear of being cheated, he/she must sign up for Neobux.
Another PTC site that never fails to pay me is TrekPay. This is another PTC site, which never disappoints its members. It takes exactly two weeks from the date you requested to pay you. The more referrals you have the faster and the more you earn.
DonkeyMails is also a great PTC site that pays its members without fail. I have been here for around 3 years now, and I have been paid for many times. They take 3 to 7 days to pay you. There are two ways of earning: Paid2Click, where you are paid in cash. Another one is Point2Click, where you are paid in points. You cannot convert the points into cash, however, you can use the points for advertising your site. I love this site because I use my points for promoting my other PTC sites and I always get many referrals.
PTC site that everyone should avoid is Gagabux. I have been here for many months now. Nevertheless, it never pays me. I have waited for many months for my payment but I haven't received it till today.So, please, do not sign up for this site. IT IS A BIG SCAM.

Fog light moisture. Got the same issue. Sealed them up 2x so I know the seal around the Lexan is solid, must be coming in from where the bulbs enter. Super annoying!!!!
Poor timing, Brooklyn...Andrew just totalled it New Year's Eve. He spun out on a crumbling road and crashed rear end first into a tree stump the size of a VW Beetle. Not even a scratch on him, but the car...

Chair: Associate Professor Radine
Associate Professor: Denton-Borhaug; Assistant Professor: Naraghi; Faculty Associates: Gal, Peucker
In the Department of Religion, faculty and students study the religious traditions of the world and explore the nature and function of religion in human experience. Through multidisciplinary methods engaging sacred texts, theology, ritual, belief, culture, history and more, we investigate the ways religion enriches and complicates the lives of people as a major source of people's values, ideals, and practices. Students acquire skills in thinking and reading, speaking and writing, and learn how to approach and understand cultures radically different from their own.
The Major in Religion
Religion faculty advisors will work with students to develop an individualized program of study including: 1) exposure to a variety of religious traditions; 2) opportunities for study with all the departmental faculty; and 3) learning and practice of diverse methods of religious study. A major in religion consists of nine course units from among the following areas. No more than four 100-level courses may count toward the major. (Any exception to this will require approval of the chair). All majors are required to enroll in Religion 370 and 385 in their senior year (fall and spring semesters, respectively.) See below for the requirements regarding areas of study required for the major.
|Three courses overall in:
|Abrahamic Literature
|Religion 112, 114, 115, 116, 217, 226
|Historical Studies
|Religion 125, 126, 223, 224, 227, 266
|Four courses overall in:
|Theological Studies
|Religion 121, 131, 215, 253, 255, 261, 264
|Religion and Culture
|Religion 110, 133, 136, 225, 248, 251, 253
|Religion 165, 210, 211, 240, 245, 246, 250, 263
|Independent Study
|Religion 286, 381-384
|Religion 288, 386-388
|Religion 400-401
|In the senior year:
|Religion 370 (fall semester)
|Directed Reading
|Religion 385 (spring semester)
The Minor in Religion
The minor in religion consists of Religion 370 plus four course units selected with the approval of the advisor. Not more than two 100-level courses may count towards the minor.
The Interdepartmental Major
The six courses of Set I of the interdepartmental major include Religion 370 plus five other courses. These five religion courses and the six courses of Set II are selected by the student with the approval of the advisor. Two distribution areas in addition to advanced studies in religion must be studied in Set I.
Opportunities: Additional Study and Careers
Students may enroll for religion courses at other LVAIC institutions or take additional classes at Moravian Theological Seminary.
Religion majors and minors go on to become teachers, pursue law, diplomatic, social and counseling services, journalism and business, while others pursue careers as religious leaders or become active in the non-profit sector. Some pursue graduate studies in religion or other fields.
Courses in Religion
110. What Is Religion? Students will attempt to arrive at their own "thick descriptions" regarding the nature, meaning, and phenomenon of religion(s) and religious experience. Introduction to psychological, theological, sociological, and anthropological methods in exploring the ways religion functions in the lives of individuals as well as in the construction, maintenance, and daily life of societies. Engagement in cross-cultural comparison and contrast. (M4)
112. Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Examination of how the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament was written and what its original meanings were, using the tools of historical criticism, archaeology, and religious history. The diverse religious perspectives within the text will be explored. Knowledge of the Hebrew language is not expected. (M3)
114. Jesus and the Gospels. Exploration of what we can know historically about the life and activities of Jesus. Comparison of the four gospels of the Christian New Testament, so that their separate messages and emphases can be discerned. Gospels that present different views of Jesus and his teachings but were not included in the Christian Bible will also be studied. (M3)
115. Major Themes in the Qur'an. The historical background within which the Qur'an appeared. Characteristic features of Qur'anic worldview. Topics of study include Qur'anic views of God, God-human relation, God-world relation, and ethico-religious concepts.

(M3)
116. Paul and Early Christianity. Movement of earliest Palestinian Christianity into the Hellenistic world, studied through a focus on the Book of Acts and on the life and letters of the Apostle Paul. Historical methods for study of the Bible as a whole. (M3)
121. Introduction to Roman Catholic Thought. An introduction to the Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. Use of historical, sociological, theological and ethical methods to explore the development of the Roman Catholic Church, its social structures such as the Magisterium, its ecclesiology, doctrines, rituals, and body of social teaching.

The diversity of Jewish cultures and languages, Jewish political nationalism (Zionism), as well as the complex and ever-changing question of Jewish identity will also be studied. (M3)
131. Jesus Saves? Salvation Metaphors in Christian Thought. Introduction to the pluralism of Christian images, metaphors, and theories of salvation. Students will read ancient and modern theological texts, and learn from visual art, film, and literature. In addition to conducting theological investigation, students will explore the social and historical underpinnings of various salvation metaphors as they occur in various cultures and epochs. (M3)
133. Native American Religions. Traditional myths, rituals, and life-cycle ceremonies of native American peoples, representing several geo-cultural regions of North America. Attention will also be paid to issues of medicine and healing, gender relations, ecological values, and indigenous responses to threats of physical and cultural genocide. Fall, alternate years. (M5)
136. Seeing and Believing: Women, Religion, and Film. (Also Women's Studies 136) Students explore how films appropriate religion in the service of the cultural production of images of women and women's lives; and investigate the ways the creation and viewing of film might share similarities with the construction and practice of religion. (M3)
165. Life Walk of Justice: Introduction to Peace and Justice Studies. (Also Interdisciplinary 165, Sociology 165.) In this course students will be encouraged to identify and analyze (in)justice in our own lives, communities and world.

(M3)
Denton-Borhaug, Jasper
210. Christian Ethics.

(U2)
211. Christian Ethics and War. How should humans respond to the perennial human problem of war? This course provides an introduction to ethics from Christian perspective through focus on this social issue. Students will be exposed to a wide spectrum of responses, including pacifism, nonviolent direct action, just war theory, Christian realism, warrior ethics, and more; and will develop their own ethic as their final project for the semester. (U2)
213. Christian Theology. Who/What is "God"? What is "Christology" and where does Jesus of Nazareth fit in? How do Christians understand "the church," "the human person," and "ultimate hope"? Why is there such a literature as "Theology" and what is its purpose? In this course, students will have the opportunity to understand an extremely important aspect of Christian tradition by exploring the nature of Christian theology by gaining exposure to it "from the inside out." Reading Christian theology as literature, we will study some diverse examples of Christian theology. Along the way of our study, we will think critically about the classic structure of systematic Christian theology and its loci, focus on the ultimate questions it raises and explores, think about the contexts and questions of the human beings in different times and places that have been compelled by it, and compare and contrast very different expressions of the genre of "theology". (M3)
215. Christian Theology. Major issues within mainstream Christian faith, with attention to God, the nature of Christ, death and the ultimate Christian hope.
217. Paul through Jewish and Christian Eyes. An introduction to the complex, perilous and fascinating world of New Testament biblical interpretation through focus on the writings of Paul of Tarsus. We will explore the robustly debated topic of how to understand Paul, his letters, and his theology through study of the history of Christian antijudaism and antisemitism, exposure to contemporary biblical criticism, archeology, and other scientific findings, and via service learning. (M3)
223. Religions of India: Hinduism and Buddhism. An introduction to the basic beliefs and practices of Hinduism and Indian Buddhism through the study of primary sources. Secondary sources will be used to examine popular Hinduism and contemporary South Asian Buddhism. (M5)
224. Religious Thought of China and Japan. A study of the Confucian, Daoist/Taoist, and Buddhist traditions and their contribution to the intellectual, ethical, and spiritual life of East Asian cultures. Local traditions will also be discussed. (M3)
225. Pilgrimage: Searching for God in a (Post)modern World. Pilgrimage: Searching for God in a (Post)modern World. This course will provide students with the opportunity to study and reflect on the relationship between Christian thought and (post)modern life. We will look at the way supposedly "secular culture" makes reference to "signals of transcendence," and expresses longing for spiritual meaning, focusing on the changing nature of "pilgrimage" and its relationship to religious authority, theology, spiritual conviction, tourism and movement, and the role of culture. Students will embark upon their own pilgrimage as a part of their class work, in addition to studying diverse sites and pathways of pilgrimage (secular and religious) in the U.S. and world (M3)
226. From Prophecy to Apocalyptic. An exploration of the phenomenon of prophecy as a social institution as known in the ancient Near East as well as prophetic literature in biblical texts. The development of apocalyptic thought in Judaism and Christianity will be studied, up to the book of Revelation. (M3)
227. Ancient Near Eastern Religion. A study of the religions of the ancient Near East, this course will explore the myths and rituals of the peoples of Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Syria-Palestine, and Egypt before the Roman era. Foundational to western civilization in general, these religions also form the cultural context and background for the sacred scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. (M3)
231. Atheism. Atheism is the belief that there is no God or gods. This course is a systematic and sympathetic examination and critical evaluation of atheism. It is primarily focused upon understanding contemporary arguments against theism, such as arguments from evil and divine hiddenness; sociological and psychological theories about the origin of religion (e.g., Freud and Durkheim); and the implications of atheism with respect to the questions of moral values, the meaning of life, and possibility of immortality. (U2)
240. Religion and Feminist/Gender Studies. (Also Women's Studies 240). Students study methods from feminist and gender studies to explore the intersection of women's lives and experience, and traditions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. We investigate the personal and political through case studies that address issues such as leadership/ritual roles in diverse institutions; religious text/law; image(s) of the divine; gender, violence, and "religious extremism"; religion and the body; and feminist theological exposition.
245. Religion and Politics. What is "civil religion"? This course examines the relationship between religious ideas and values, and political structures, decision-making, and culture. Topics include the historical background of civil religion in the U.S., church-state relations and the First Amendment, the role of religion in politics post 9/11, the intersection of politics, religion and race, and other current issues. (U2)
246. War and Peace in the Biblical World. This course will explore ideologies of warfare and other forms of sanctioned mass violence, as well as ancient hopes and expectation for peace. Ancient Near Eastern texts and practices will be studied in addition to biblical texts. (U2)
248. Topics in Religion and Literature. How the religious dimension of human experience is expressed and interpreted in literature, with focus on a particular author, group of writers, theme, or school of critical interpretation. Identification and evaluation of the way human religious experience is articulated through the literary imagination, whether classical, modern, or contemporary.
250. Environmental Philosophy. An overview of the ethical, metaphysical, cultural, and political issues involved in understanding humankind's complex relationship with the natural world and with other-than-human animals. Examines positions and philosophies of radical environmentalists, environmental ethicists, animal-rights advocates, and political ecologists. Fall, alternate years. (U2)
Canteñs, Falla
251. Modern Jewish Religious Movements. Modern Judaism exists in a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices, from ultra-traditionalism to secular humanism. This course will explore both the making of modern Judaism and the religious "map" of Jewish life today. Topics will include Hasidic Judaism, Zionism, and contemporary North American trends in Judaism. (M5)
253. Philosophy of Religion. (Also Philosophy 253) The nature of religion and beliefs concerned with existence, nature, and knowledge of God, with alternative positions to theism. (U2)
255. Latin American Liberation Theology. Introduction to the study and practice of liberation theology in the Latin American context through classroom study of the history, method, and content of liberation theology. Our purpose will be to investigate how this movement emerged and the effects it continues to have culturally, politically, religiously, and personally. All students and professor will embark on a travel seminar during Spring Break to the border region between Mexico and Arizona. (M5)
261. Islamic Philosophy, Theology, and Mysticism. (Also Philosophy 261) An exploration of key notions and figures in Islamic philosophy, theology, and mysticism. Some issues embedded in the enormous body of scholarship in Muslim intellectual heritage are employed to examine current global issues such as the struggle for justice and peace and the fight against violence and absolutism. Special attention is given to the structure of Being, the notion of the truth, and the way to attain the truth in the three systems. (M5)
263. Civil Rights and the Moral Life. (Also Interdisciplinary Studies 263) Many forces and ideas shaped the civil rights movement. Through both a historical and a theological/philosophical lens, students will examine those forces and ideas and will consider how the power and depth of the movement continues to challenge us with its continued relevance today. The course includes in-close examinations of key events in the movement, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Nashville sit-ins, in order to view the movement from the vantage of people involved in the movement. (U2)
264. Science and Theology. Is it (im)possible to hold religious beliefs and convictions, and simultaneously to be a modern person of science? This course will examine the interface between science and theology from a variety of perspectives. We will explore key questions and supposed conflicts between science and religion, emphasizing the interaction between the two, how science impacts religion and vice versa. A capstone paper, a Credo, will ask the student to reflect on how one's understanding of scientific theories affects his/her beliefs about certain key religious ideas such as Creation or human nature. Prerequisites: Junior or senior class standing. (U1)
266. History of the Early 18th Century Moravians. This course explores the history of the Moravians as an 18th-century transatlantic community. Their communities are an interesting example of 18th-century intentional communities. How were their congregations organized? What did Moravians believe, and how does this relate to other religious groups? How did they perceive their own history, and how did Moravians record history? Eighteenth-century Moravians were highly controversial; we will take a look at some of the polemical writings. In the course we will also explore issues of gender, race and sexuality. (M1)
310. Methods in Religious Study. Historical, anthropological, sociological, psychological, comparative, and theological methods used in scholarly study of religion. Readings drawn from classical and contemporary interpreters of religion.
370. Seminar in Religion. Selected topics significant in current religious studies, drawing together several themes or methods within religious studies and posing issues of broader interdisciplinary significance. Required for majors, minors, interdepartmental majors, and open to others by permission of instructor. Spring, alternate years. Two 70-minute periods. Writing-intensive.
385. Directed Study in Religion. A required course for religion majors. Students will select and conduct an individual research project under the direction of a faculty member. Ideally the student will have already taken Religion 370. The first part of the course will be focused on methodology.
190-199, 290-299, 390-399. Special Topics.

Anti-Redskins Commercial Set To Air During NBA Finals
Photo Credit: YouTube
It seems the fight to get the Washington Redskins to change their name is taking center stage during tonight's game 3 of the NBA Finals. A group produced the two minute spot and bought the airtime with the hope of quote...
"It's just a time to get people thinking about putting an end to outward hatred and using sports as a tool to focus on racism."
This is not the first time the group tried to get this commercial on the air. Apparently they tried to buy time during the Super Bowl but the NFL wouldn't air it. But, with all of the Donald Sterling talk, it does seem like the perfect time to bring this fight front and center. What do you think?
Here's the commercial.

I am from Florida. Although I regret all of our United States, are not together in a statewide, versus a federal CCW. I would call upon folks like Jon H. Gutmacher, Esq to reign upon our common cause.
"Fail Your Way To Success"
"A Goal without a Plan, is Just a Dream"
"Age and treachery will win over Youth and Enthusiasm"
Maybe I'm just not well informed, but who is Jon H. Gutmacher and why is he significant? What's the point of your post?
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
Jon H. Gutmacher is a Florida criminal lawyer with over 25 years of criminal trial experience in the State of Florida, and has tried well over one hundred jury trials, including first degree murder. His office is located in Orlando, and he concentrates his practice primarily in the Central Florida area, including federal cases involving firearm and weapon offenses. Although he handles a variety of criminal cases, his practice is primarily devoted to those charges involving firearms, weapons, and self defense issues, including federal NFA violations (machine guns, silencers, etc.), as well as handling cases involving falsified charges, resisting arrest, theft, aggravated assault, and fraud.
Besides being a criminal defense lawyer with extensive experience handling all types of criminal cases with special emphasis on self-defense issues, gun crimes, weapon offenses, and aggravated assault cases, Mr. Gutmacher is the author of the widely read book: Florida Firearms Law, Use & Ownership, writes a monthly column on gun crime issues, weapon and self defense issues for Rods & Guns Magazine, is an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor, Refuse to be a Victim instructor, and is a referral attorney for the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America. He has presented seminars and lectures for the Florida Bar, Lorman Seminars, the Florida Public Defenders Association, FALI, and numerous other organizations, as well as appearing as a guest on national and local television, including ABCs Nightline. He has lectured on such subjects as Mercy Killings, Manslaughter, Extraordinary Remedies in Criminal Cases, Scientific Defenses, Second Amendment issues, special defenses to gun crimes, Self-Defense issues, and Federal firearm licensing issues.
While Mr. Gutmachers criminal defense practice is located in Orlando, he also handles cases in other Central Florida locations (ie: Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Viera, Daytona Beach). Mr. Gutmacher frequently handles federal licensing issues before ATF throughout the State of Florida, and also represents security personnel in licensing issues before the Florida Department Of Agriculture.

Jayavarman VII and the Art of the Bayon
Under the last great sovereign of Angkor, Jayavarman VII (r. 1181-1218?), the territory and influence of the Khmer empire reached its zenith. In 1177, Champa (a kingdom in central Vietnam) had invaded Angkor and occupied the capital. Jayavarman drove the Chams from Cambodia in 1181, ascended the throne, conquered Champa, and extracted tribute from much of Thailand and Laos. He rebuilt the capital, creating the royal city of Angkor Thom. A devout Buddhist, he proclaimed Buddhism the state religion and ordered the construction of more temples than any of his predecessors, including the monastic complexes of Preah Khan and Ta Prohm. The state temple of the Bayon, his grandest creation, was built at the very heart of Angkor Thom and has given its name to the artistic style of the age.
Sculpture in the Bayon style is marked by intense spirituality. The serene, contemplative expressions of the figures reflect the humility and compassion associated with Buddhism, and perhaps even with Jayavarman VII himself. His concern for his people led to the construction of 102 hospitals, pilgrims' rest houses, bridges, and other public works. Sculpture of the time also became more individualized, as in the two heads thought to be portraits of Jayavarman VII and the possible portrait of his deceased wife, Queen Jayarajadevi in the guise of the Buddhist deity Tara.

Intricate 3D-Printed Dress Brings Couture To The Home [Video]
The Bristle Dress by architect and designer Francis Bitonti can be made entirely on a MakerBot Replicator 2 printer.
Brooklyn-based designer Francis Bitonti has designed a dress that can be customized for the wearer and 3D-printed anywhere with a Makerbot.
Bitonti created the Bristle Dress with the students at his studio's New Skins Workshop Series. During the workshop students explore new computational design techniques and experiment with digital modeling and 3D printing technologies. The Bristle Dress is the second couture dress that came out of the workshop series. Last summer BItonti and the workshop participants designed the Verlan Dress.
The Bristle Dress consists of two pieces – an upper portion with a delicate coral-like design and made with translucent PLA filament, and a tessellated skirt made with MakerBot's flexible filament and lined with faux rabbit fur.
The files for the Bristle Dress can be downloaded from Thingiverse. The top of the dress takes approximately 160 hours to print while the bottom takes another 135 hours to produce.
According to the Francis Bitonti Studio,
We wanted to make the body solidify into harder geometry, going from atmosphere to ice. We integrated a fur lining in their version to ease in the transition. The skirt can be secured by either gluing a hook and eye strip or industrial zipper down the back seam. We are starting to think a lot about design interfaces and questioning how much the public is willing to design.
Bitonti is certainly no stranger to 3D-printed fashion. Last year he also worked with New York designer Michael Schmidt to create a nylon body-hugging 3D-printed dress for famous burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese.
Accessories designer and model Ica Paru was the first to wear the Bristle Dress at a Brooklyn photo shoot. The video below shows a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot with Francis Bitonti talking more about the dress and his work with 3D-printing.

The 3 Key Elements of IBM's Smarter Buildings Message
The 3 Key Elements of IBM's Smarter Buildings Message
Last week I attended IBM's launch event for their Intelligent Building Management software at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. IBM showcased the success of several key pilot projects that laid the framework for their new smart building software solution.
There were three main take-aways from the meeting:
1) It's crucial to truly understand the problem we face with the management of today's buildings,
2) buildings hold enormous opportunity for energy conservation and GHG mitigation if management is approached with a holistic solution, and
3) the evolution of a Smarter Building can only come if we enable radical transformation of today's building management paradigm.
Dave Bartlett, VP of IBM Smarter Buildings, explained the need to understand the problem faced in building management today. He explained that the energy waste and inefficiencies of today's buildings come down to three main problems:
• Buildings today are often managed with a collage of disparate systems -- building management systems, sensors, and digital networks -- that are often lacking effective integration;
• buildings generate a lot of data that can overwhelm the the implementation of efficiency policies (in the first third of IBM's pilot in their MN facility they gathered data from 80,000 points); and
• transforming energy management in buildings will require a new skill set driven by technology integration.
IBM argues that it is ideally suited to help stakeholders overcome these hurdles, in collaboration with its partners, through instrumentation, interconnection, and intelligence. The Smarter Building will utilize networked sensors, high-speed, IP-based interconnection strategies with sophisticated analytics capable of streaming, sifting, sorting, and prioritizing building operational and energy data to improve building reliability -- as defined by the occupant's primary business mission.
A holistic vision: IBM's new solution proposes a three-pronged approach to building management: energy savings, space management, and building maintenance. The Intelligent Building Management software will be marketed as a pre-configured solution that will utilize the proven strengths of existing technologies.
The solution aims to provide "end-to-end visibility" bringing forward data on asset performance, automation of service requests, and notification of critical events, all utilizing role-based and predictive analytics. These advanced analytics will utilize the tried and true technologies of IBM and its partners in a new networked approach in which data can be pulled from all systems to identify problems, manage operations, prioritize solutions, and predict outcomes.
The goal is to create a Smarter Building that uses less energy, while optimizing the use of space and building management.
Radical transformation of the building management paradigm: The afternoon Smarter Buildings panel discussed the major challenges in transforming the management of today's commercial and industrial buildings.
There was debate over the role of the traditional facility manager in tomorrow's highly instrumented, finely tuned building system. IBM argues the launch of their Intelligence Building Management solution will facilitate a transition to sophisticate building management by providing a tool to bring information technology and building management professionals together.
In the end, the Smarter Building solution answers the call of a fundamental challenge in my mind -- bringing rationality and order to big data.
As we evolve commercial buildings into fully networked systems, we need to have tools that translate the volumes of data into patterns and signals for operators and decision-makers to manage effectively for real optimization.
Whether the goal is cost savings, sustainability, or climate mitigation, no data is useful unless decision-makers have the tools to use the data to drive operational and maintenance changes in their facilities. IBM Intelligent Building Management software is designed to aggregate data from building systems, and then run the kind of rules-based and predictive analytics stakeholders need to prioritize investment and conservation efforts in a completely new way that will bring IT professionals, facilities managers, and the C-Suite all into the proverbial driver's seat.
It is yet to be seen how the market responds to the new IBM offering, but the focus of this IT giant certainly reiterates the value and future of the vision of the Smart Building.

Weird palette stuff, still learning...Help!
Ok, when I use my large, rich palette via CreatePalette, it just works
fine. All my dynamic stuff works, all my ActionMenus work too. But
once I save the palette and use it 'standalone' after relaunching
Mathematica, it breaks. Dynamic fails and some of the ActionMenus are
not firing when selected. Now, if I evaluate all the key cells from
its source notebook while the broken palette is up, it gets "healed"
and works fine. Please explain to me how coding for a palette works so
all its notebook code fires correctly. Frustrated. Thanks for anyone
to restore my sanity. ;-)

Dixons today shed its loss-making French online business, handing the buyer tens of millions of euros to take it off its hands.
Pixmania is being bought by German industrial conglomerate Mutares and Dixons, which runs Currys and PC World, will pump 69 million (£58 million) into the business to fund it going forward.
The news was greeted with enthusiasm and relief on the stock market with Dixons Retail shares jumping more than 8%, 3.7p at 48p.
The shares have risen by more than 150% in the past year.
At the same time Dixons is also selling its loss-making Turkish chain of 32 ElectroWorld shops to local retailer Bimeks for £2 million.
The deals mark the latest move by chief executive Sebastian James, who took the helm just over 18 months ago. He said: "I am a passionate believer that Dixons succeeds where we offer our customers a fully integrated multi-channel proposition and where we are the market leader. We were not that in France and have been looking at a way of getting a result for some time."
Dixons also reported 4% growth across its ongoing businesses in the first quarter to end-July.
This included a 6% rise in the UK, 5% in northern Europe and a 12% fall in southern Europe, where sales of air conditioning, in particular, were hit by a cooler than normal summer.
James, who has also overseen the sales of a Norwegian business and Equanet as well as closing the Dixons.co.uk website, said: "We have had an encouraging start to the year given that we had a particularly strong start to the previous year. Margins have held up reasonably well."
Dixons paid £185 million for Pixmania in 2006 and bought out the remaining minority for just £8 million last year. The business lost £31 million on sales of £357 million last year and in the latest quarter its sales fell by a further 28%.
James said: "Pixmania needs a different kind of entrepreneurial flair, which is why we have agreed to inject cash into it and to back its management under their new owners."
He said he remained cautious about the state of the electrical retail market and added: "But with this good start, I am excited about the rest of the year and about the future for a successful and simplified group."
The Pixmania deal is conditional on it successfully concluding negotiations with its workforce in France over the transfer of jobs. Dixons wrote down the value of the business by £135 million this year.

alpinE garden club Seed Exchange
The Seed Exchange is an exchange of seeds collected by our members worldwide in cultivation and in the wild. The Club also subscribes to seed collecting expeditions to mountain regions overseas. Seeds are for sale at meetings, particularly early in the year.
Members are encouraged to send seed for the exchange. If seeds are wild collected please send information about where they were collected and any information about flower colour, height, etc., especially for unusual plants or plants that cannot be completely identified.
Any club member may order seeds but donors receive special privileges. To qualify as a donor, a minimum donation of five different species is required. North American members should donate this minimum in seeds native to North and South America. After that seeds from any region are welcome. Overseas members receive donor status for seeds from any area. The success of the exchange depends on the donors so they do receive special privileges. They are able to order up to 60 packages (30 for non-donors) and receive priority where seeds are in short supply so it does pay to make the effort to become a donor. Detailed ordering information will be sent out with the Seed List in the Fall Bulletin.
The 2016 seed exchange is now closed.

The United States of America for decades has benefited from the presence of foreign born students who study at its universities and upon graduation find jobs or develop their own business enterprises. At many American universities, teaching assistants in fields such as science or math are often individuals who were born abroad because it increasingly has become difficult to secure enough American born young scientists and math people. A recent study by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, reveals that Shanghai is now attracting about one-fourth of all returning Chinese students who studied abroad. There are now 75,000 of these individuals working in Shanghai either for a business or one they created. It is estimated they have founded about 4,000 business enterprises with a total investment of $400 million. It is also estimated that 60% of the faculty at Shanghai Academy of Science and the Shanghai Academy of Engineering are former students who studied overseas.
There was a time when a Chinese student who attended an American university remained in the United States and obtained a job, but those days may well be over. The madness of the American economy over the past few years in which financial institutions only thought about money rather than upon building vast new business enterprises is reaping its reward in foreign born students going home.

In downloads it would be cool if there was an "upgrade license" button next to each of your items.
You can try to contact support for a refund and then buy the extended but I don't know if they will accept that…

R. Scott Bakker
|R. Scott Bakker
February 2, 1967
Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
Richard Scott Bakker (born February 2, 1967, Simcoe, Ontario) is a Canadian fantasy author. He grew up on a tobacco farm in the Simcoe area. In 1986 he attended the University of Western Ontario to pursue a degree in literature and later an MA in theory and criticism. After a PhD in philosophy at Vanderbilt University he moved to London, Ontario, where he now lives with his wife.
R. Scott Bakker's work is dominated by a sprawling series informally known as The Second Apocalypse which he began developing while in college in the 1980s. The series was originally planned to be a trilogy with the first two books entitled The Prince of Nothing and The Aspect-Emperor. The third book has been referred to as The Book That Shall Not Be Named by Bakker, since the title of this book is considered to be a spoiler for the preceding volumes.
When Bakker began writing the series in the early 2000s, however, he found it necessary to split each of the three novels into its own sub-series to incorporate all of the characters, themes and ideas he wished to explore. Bakker originally conceived of seven books: a trilogy and two duologies. This later shifted to two trilogies and one duology, with the acknowledgment that the third series may also expand to a trilogy.
The Prince of Nothing trilogy was published between 2003 and 2006. It depicts the story of the Holy War launched by the Inrithi kingdoms against the heathen Fanim of the south to recover the holy city of Shimeh for the faithful. During the war, a man named Anasûrimbor Kellhus emerges from obscurity to become an exceptionally powerful and influential figure, and it is discovered that the Consult, an alliance of forces united in their worship of the legendary No-God, a nihilistic force of destruction, are manipulating events to pave the way for the No-God's return to the mortal world.
The sequel series, the Aspect-Emperor quartet, picks up the story twenty years later with Kellhus leading the Inrithi kingdoms in directly seeking out and confronting the Consult. The first novel in this new series, The Judging Eye, was published in January 2009.
While working on the Prince of Nothing series, Bakker was given a challenge by his wife to write a thriller. In response he produced a science fiction suspense novel involving a serial killer who can influence and control the human mind. This book is called Neuropath and was published in 2008. A second thriller, titled Disciple of the Dog, was published in November 2010.

Bulldog Track & Field Gets Nation's Attention In Season Opener
Jan. 18, 2014
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --- Georgia's track and field teams posted a series of the nation's top marks to highlight the season-opening Auburn Indoor Invitational in Birmingham, Ala., on Saturday.
Bulldog head coach Wayne Norton was encouraged with his teams' first action, but is hoping their development continues next weekend.
"This was an O.K. start to the season because we had several encouraging results, but not the big ones I was hoping for," said Norton. "We had a young group who found how challenging collegiate indoor track and field can be and will be. Having said that, we survived the `baptism.'"
Freshman Leontia Kallenou surged into the No. 2 spot on this year's national list and No. 3 in the school record books by being the top collegiate finisher in the high jump. Kallenou cleared 6 feet, 2 inches on her first attempt, which is the top mark for Georgia since Levern Spencerset the school record at 6-2.75 in 2008.
On Saturday, Spencer competed unattached and was the overall winner with a height of 6-3.25, which is fourth on this year's world's list. Kallenou redshirted the 2013 indoor season before taking fourth at last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships in the high jump.
"Kallenou was spectacular in the high jump and we got a nice showing from the veterans in (Megan) Malasarte and (Carly) Hamilton and I thought the men's sprints group did a good job," Norton said. "It was encouraging to see (Morgann) Leleux and Maicel Uibo get their seasons underway. Starting the season O.K. is O.K. as long as we follow up next week with a much better week."
In the pole vault, Morgann Leleux opened her third year by winning with a meet record mark of 13-11.25 on her first try. This is the best effort in the SEC this year and is tied for No. 3 on the national list.
Junior Carly Hamilton picked up where she left off last indoor season by taking second in the 3000-meter run. Her time of 9:21.88 was just one second off her school record set in 2013 and not only leads the SEC, but is also No. 6 on the national list.
On the men's side, sophomore Brendan Hoban was third in the 3000 with a personal-best time of 8:31.70.
Primarily an 800 runner, senior Megan Malasarte trained in the mile at the Auburn Invitational and was second with a time of 4:47.80. Malasarte's time is the eighth-best in school history, giving the Lady Bulldogs' four of the all-time top-10 marks in the last two years.
Freshman heptathlete Kendell Williams made her Lady Bulldog debut and quickly earned a spot in the school record books. Williams was second in the 60 hurdle prelims with the fourth-best time in UGA history (8.39) and the fastest since 2007. The Marietta native finished third in the finals with an 8.40.
Later in the high jump, Williams tied fellow Georgia freshman Tatiana Gusin for ninth place with a clearance of 5-7.75.
Other multi-event team members also opened their season in Birmingham. A First Team All-American both indoors and outdoors in 2013, sophomore Maicel Uibo posted a personal best in the shot put by nearly two feet. He reached 46-6.75 on his third attempt after two fouls to take 15th. In the pole vault, Uibo tied for fifth on a third attempt clearance of 16-0.75.
Senior Lucie Ondraschkova was the fourth collegiate finisher (fifth overall) in the long jump with a mark of 19-3.25 after passing on her final three jumps. Also an indoor and outdoor scorer at the 2013 NCAA Championships, Ondraschkova clocked an 8.87 in the 60 hurdle prelims before taking eighth in the finals.
Junior Quintunya Chapman started her multi career by opening with a long jump mark of 17-5.25 to take 14th and running a 9.40 for 11th in the 60 hurdle prelims.
Another first was sophomore jumper Chanice Porter running in her first event on the track. Porter was fourth in the 60 after finishing in 7.60. The 2013 SEC indoor long jump champion finished ninth in the long jump with a mark of 18-5 and passed on her last three tries.
Also on the track, redshirt freshman Rashan Browntook fourth in the 200 with the seventh-best time in school history (24.10).
In the final event of the day, three freshmen, Reggie Glover, Ayrian Evans and Derrick White, joined sophomore Maurice Freeman to take fourth in the 4x400 relay. The foursome recorded a 3:12.31 to trim nearly four seconds off of Georgia's top time at the meet last year.
Georgia will go in a pair of directions for its next meets. Some team members will travel to the site of this year's NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., for the Cherry and Silver Collegiate Invitational. Others will go to Nashville, Tenn., to compete in the Commodores' brand new indoor facility for the Vanderbilt Indoor Invitational.
Full results and a recap will be posted at georgiadogs.com.

Once again this is one case where being 'like a fox' is a good idea...
I'm so glad this printed, congrats Boots!
well I guess this answers the big question.. the DINOSAUR came first... not the chicken and not the egg
Thanks for clearing that up! :D
Awesome! I'm not big on green, but I love the idea.
Congrats Boots!!
The evolution of the fox is what makes this shirt so cute. In for one!
The fox is fabulous! Congrats Bootsx2!
First sucker, heck yes! :D
Scored one. Definitely a novel take on the old "human evolution" thing.
Oh no! I'm in terrible danger now... I've written something positive about a design.
(runs away, screaming in terror)
(edit: Suddenly realizes that part of the terror is being inundated in gratuitous hordes of "grats" 'non-messages'. Still keeps running for the original reason, but the scream has become even more frightened.)
Glad to be a vegetarian. The though of eating dinosaur squicks me out!
Congrats bootsboots!
MommaPhoenix wrote:The evolution of the fox is what makes this shirt so cute. In for one!
BootsBoots' bio is what makes it for me. lol
Yes! yes!
I was sitting here, waiting for the page to load...watching....watching...
It loaded and I yelled Yes! And the spouse from across the room says, "Don't forget to get me one!"
*does a little happy dance*
This one placed over Place This In Water?
Nuuuuu! I wanted the pill one!
Sigh...I guess I'll just have to remember those little foam dinos from my childhood some other way.
Soooooooooo glad that this won over the pill shirt, that would have been a shame to all...
nice! yeah! party at boots house tomorrow!!! hahah
hey jamie! jamie!
over here!! jamie!!
oh hey. just wanted to tell you congrats. you know...again. on the print. awesome. ok, bye...
i totally told her congrats. man, she's cool.
Literally! :D
I'm so glad this was chosen! I've been waiting the past two nights for it. Love the concept, love the design, love the kelly green.
Congrats to the artist!
PopeYmir wrote::O
how many votes did the fourth place have?
Just 10 votes fewer =[ ... Almost! I wouldn't have wanted to be beaten by 10 votes by anyone else. It is an honor to have been in such a close match with BootsBoots.
Is it just me, or did the fox just eat a chicken that was bigger than it?
That bio made me realize how much fun it is to say bootsboots.
*cough* Anyway...great shirt. I was following it all through the Derby, and I'm definitely glad to see it printed.
good stuff BOOTS
Man!! Stupid "Smart Post" I need my Mise en Place shirt while reading the write up!
pianolin717 wrote:well I guess this answers the big question.. the DINOSAUR came first... not the chicken and not the egg
Thanks for clearing that up! :D
Indeed. But now the question is this.
Which one came first; the egg or dinosaur?
prateeko wrote:Is it just me, or did the fox just eat a chicken that was bigger than it?
I was thinking the same thing;) That is one big chicken!
So, ummmm, just to be clear: the T-Rex mated with a salamander, and over several generations the T-Rex became a chicken and the salamander became a fox and the fox ate the chicken? I believe Darwin is spinning in his bunkbed deep in the sublevels of Area 51. (mostly because the shirt is Kelly green, partly because of the whole bastardized "theory of evolution" thing).
Isn't strange that Utah is leading the sales for an evolution shirt?
*sigh* Everyone who wears this shirt is responsible for spreading even more false information about evolution to the public.
I knew it! You win!
jasneko wrote:I was thinking the same thing;) That is one big chicken!
Well, It is a Tyranno-chicken...
Makes one wonder what the cooking instructions would be like. On the other hand, if you lived near a handy volcano...
Anyone have a decent recipe for giant chicken? Oh!?!? They are extinct? My mouth was all set up for a succulent giant drumstick and now it will have to go back to eating, uh... well, I've still got some hard-boiled eggs. Too bad the mayo is -definitely- on the old side, but I could always nuke some bacon and make do with butter.
(running stops, definite panting begins and is increasingly interrupted by raucous noises of coughing)
Cripes. I really wish Walgreens hadn't been so lazy about dropping off the 9 size "E" cylinders of oxygen yesterday. That darned "concentrator" is not only noisy but provides a fairly low increase in O2.
radiomode wrote:I knew it! You win!
Also, the green mood is very nice
agentkate wrote:*sigh* Everyone who wears this shirt is responsible for spreading even more false information about evolution to the public.
sweet. so people would rather learn stuff from shirts than from actual books.
This shirt amuses me so much...
Congrats Boots!
Congratulations, boots!
(well, doing this was the only way I could get into the Evil League of Evil. Appropriate music begins to play:
Fallen, Sarah McLachlan
Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so... )
Woot mods, what is wrong with saying "meh" LOL. You guyz are ridiculous about modding stuff here.
Or you could just view the shirt as poking fun at evolution and take it as promoting how silly some of it sounds. After all, one thing about being human is a hundred of us can look at the same thing and each one could have a different view and opinion of it...

Holiday Sweets
I have been reading a great new cookbook recently called, "Falling Cloudberries" by Tessa Kiros. It is one of the most beautiful cookbooks I have come across in a long time. One of the recipes, Ricotta Tart with a Chocolate Crust, is simple and amazing. I used a gallon of whole milk we had on hand to make some homemade ricotta for the tart. The crust is so simple and really, really yummy. I can foresee using the crust for cheesecakes, berry tarts, and banana cream pies.
I also tried my hand at Rugelach. This recipe was really a good one. Some reviewers said it was difficult to make but I didn't find this to be the case at all. In fact, they came together really quickly (after chilling the dough), and baked beautifully.
Besides baking, there has been some outdoor playing in frigid temperatures as well as...
bubble making experiments.

I love experiments with the kids....your desserts look scrumptious, when I am ready to have a bite of dessert I will try making a cheesecake. You have a lovely blog :)ReplyDelete
The desserts look lovely. I have "Apples for Jam" and love it. I've wondered about this one-now I think I am adding it to my wish list. The bubbles look like a ton of fun too.ReplyDelete
Hmm, looks very jummy!ReplyDelete

"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."
"We were more than satisfied with this product, and we will also order 'thank you'- cards from tinyprints when the time comes. We got a lot of positive feedback from the receivers of the cards. We (and the elderly part of the receivers) were also satisfied that we could change all of the text on the back, so we could write it all in norwegian."
"Love it! Love it! Love it! Adorable invite, easy to personalize, great customer service, fast delivery. What else can I ask for? Can't wait to order my next invites from Tiny Prints."

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Orange-eating bird likely a red-bellied woodpecker
STACEY COLE | August 30. 2013 8:30PM
With respect to feeding oranges, one of our Milton readers wrote in part: "I have a bird that came here this summer. Put the oranges out for the Baltimore oriole. Well this bird that came, I cannot find in my bird book. It is a woodpecker, very pretty. The back was black and white checkered. The head was red all the way down to its back. It would clean the orange right out. Put a new one out every day. Do not see it now. It was cute to see it bring the little ones and feed them the oranges. Have you ever seen this or heard about them? Thank you."Red-headed woodpeckers are infrequently seen in New Hampshire. A mature red-headed woodpecker's head is completely covered with red to its shoulders. In recent years red-bellied woodpeckers have been increasing in numbers and, from our reader's description, I believe the bird that could not be identified was a female red-bellied woodpecker.It should be noted that the red color streak on the neck of a female begins close to the base of its bill, runs up over the head, then down its neck to its shoulder. On the other hand, the red streak on the neck of a male red-bellied woodpecker begins at the back of its head, then continues down the length of its neck.
When plowing in spring and fall the birds always labored over the fresh ground I turned up. They searched for whatever food they could find. The crows usually worked ahead of me until my equipment approached too close, then they would fly to the end of the last row to continue feeding.
Carefully examine around feeder entrances for any rough spots. Sometimes birds become scratched in such areas, resulting in a disease virus being transferred from one bird to another. File off rough places on metal feeders. Clean and disinfect feeders regularly using one part of liquid chlorine household bleach in 9 parts of tepid water (a 10 percent solution) to disinfect. Make enough solution to immerse an empty, cleaned feeder completely for two to three minutes.
Stacey Cole's address is 529 W. Swanzey Road, Swanzey, 03446.

What about the websites you read on a daily basis, including this very site which has a white background? What about all of the white in iOS 6 (mail, messages, contacts, etc)? What are you actually doing in iOS 7 where you are constantly seeing full screens of white all the time? Because I can't think of any app that I have on the screen for an extended period of time other than games, Safari, or Facebook, and none of those have anything to do with this "white" debacle. Why don't you just lower the brightness a bit? Or increase your font size? I think 90% of you are complaining just for the sake of complaining about change.
