Sparks fly as U.S., Pakistan spar over Afghan bloodshed
By Missy Ryan and John Chalmers
WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The top U.S. military officer accused Pakistani intelligence on Thursday of backing violence against U.S. targets including the American Embassy in Afghanistan, a stunning remark that fuelled a war of words and seemed certain to deepen tensions in South Asia.
Admiral Mike Mullen said Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) played a role in the September 13 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, supporting militants known as the Haqqani network.
That network, he said, is a "veritable arm" of the ISI.
The embassy attack was the latest in a series of violent episodes that were a blow to U.S. efforts to bring the Afghan war to a peaceful close.
Pakistan's interior minister rejected the U.S. accusations of Islamabad's links to the Haqqanis, one of the most feared insurgent groups operating in Afghanistan.
The minister, Rehman Malik, also warned against a unilateral U.S. ground attack on the Haqqanis, who are based in Pakistan's ungoverned tribal territories.
"The Pakistan nation will not allow the boots on our ground, never. Our government is already cooperating with the U.S. ... but they also must respect our sovereignty," Malik said in an interview with Reuters.
The harsh words appear to represent a new low in U.S.-Pakistani relations, which had barely begun to recover from the unannounced U.S. Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad in May. Continued...

Costume Information
|I absolutely love the chemistry between Squall and Rinoa, especially in the dance scene at the beginning - there's no voice acting and yet the animation makes it so clear upon the characters feelings indicating what is to come.
To me Rinoa is an odd character - unlike the main cast for FF8, I for some reason couldn't pin point her personality and was pretty much left in the dark... when I kept playing however, I grew to really admire Rinoa and this liking finally showed when she was almost dying in space. (I cried at this scene so badly T^T) Admittedly this is one of the few games I have ever played but I will always love it as I don't remember many games that has made me sad so many times ^^;;
Anyways about the cosplay; this is one of those costumes that has been swinging back and forth in my head a lot - "shall I do it? shall I not? etc." It's a very popular cosplay and as I stated before, it's rare for me to touch those ^^;; but I would so love to attempt this as it's more about her character than the garment ; though the dress is pretty too <3

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Thursday, February 9, 2012
February 9, 2012
We got up and had cereal for breakfast, and then got a phone call that Jose was not going to be coming by, as he wasn't feeling well. This was inconvenient, but I'd rather he not come by if he is ill. The folks from Maxim, where he is employed, called and said they would attempt to find a replacement, but since they would not be able to have anyone here until the afternoon I told them not to bother. It would have been a couple of hours of support, but in all honesty it would probably have been more disruptive than helpful. Hopefully there will be coverage for tomorrow, and we can get back on a regular schedule.
Not much else going on today, out side of the norm. The girls did go to day care where they made some paper towel roll decorations for Daddy; and, aside from a couple of errands, I was able to keep Jason in bed and out of his chair. I think he is getting better and feeling more confident with the ceiling trapezes, as he is able to transfer much more quickly, and comfortably than he was just a few days ago. Those kinds of improvements really make me feel good, and I am hopeful that I'll see more of those kinds of things, once he gets off the I.V.
Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers - it is appreciated.

Jackie's been through a lot. She's probably just having a hard time adjusting and it's effecting her at night. Hope she gets through this quickly!ReplyDelete
Always lifting up prayer!
Psalms 40:5, 11, 13 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. (11) Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. (13) Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Poor baby Jackie, MUST have been bad dreams :-( I'm glad she woke up rested and happy!! I'm glad to hear that Mr. Jason behaved and rested up those wounds. I am anxious for the day that I hear they are all closed up and he can move on to more challenges! Until then, he really does need to rest and keep the pressure off of them, his hard work will pay off :-) Good job Jason. Take MaMa Ross out to dinner tomorrow night for Chinese. Have a great day tomorrow Clan Ross! Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete
I'm going to the gym tomorrow a.m. and will dedicate my exercise to Jason. Thinking and praying for you.
All our best,

Hey there! Just popping on by for a quick "hi!"ReplyDelete
I'm glad to hear that Jason is feeling better despite not having his nurse there yesterday. The Students are SO happy to hear that Jason is feeling better- they worry a lot about him.
Sorry Miss. Jackie isn't sleeping well- have you tried soothing soft music? My youngest step son had a pretty hard time after his mom moved (he was only 18 months) and this was the ONLY thing that worked for him.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy your weekend and that the weather is cooperative for out door activities!

The Quiet Land
It's a quiet land
It's a dream
It's a heavenly abode
With enduring stream
Land of vista
joyous at sight
Crammed with flowers
Hallowed at night
The finches tell the story
of the mystic aura
the silence of the noons
and the revealing flora
The rays lurk through the woods
as the leaves watch and move
The chimes of the winds
set in the autumns groove
The days titivate again
with the springs splendor
the drops of water
waiting for the blessed order

Pacquiao London Update!
Photos: Chris Farina/Top Rank
Click the picture to go to the next one
Everywhere he goes pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is surrounded by a swarm of Filipino fans who wave flags, take pictures, ask for autographs and who try to touch their national hero. "I never knew there were so many Filipino fans in London and in Manchester," said Pacquiao after a very large, friendly crowd of fans surrounded his car when he arrived today at the Philippines Embassy. "I think we are all stunned about the number of Filipino fans here and their love for Manny," said Bob Arum. "He really is a superstar, the national treasure of the Philippines."
On Sunday morning a large crowd awaited for Manny when he went to mass at the famous Westminster Cathedral in London. He sat in the first pew and prayed. At one point some fans quietly walked slowly by him, touching his sleeve. He is never alone, at a restaurant or hotel lobby.
Pacquiao and his team, including chief trainer Freddie Roach, will take a flight from London to Los Angeles early Tuesday morning. Pacquiao will begin his training at the Wild Card gym later this week.
At the Monday press conference, Ricky Hatton said at the podium "…..Manny, I want that pound-for-pound title from you. I have never been beaten at 10 stones (140 pounds) which is my best weight when I go into the ring. You know I'm just too big for you."
Pacquiao told reporters afterwards "…I'm not fighting 'big.' I'm in a fight against a fighter who believes in himself. Now it is a matter of who trains harder and who has more speed. I plan to train harder than I did for the De La Hoya fight and I believe I have more speed."
"Hatton is younger, fresher, presents some interesting problems. I've watched a ton of video on him," said Roach.
When asked 'who will win?' Pacquiao answered "…only God knows that."
Pacquiao said he was very poor growing up, ate once a day, sometimes slept in the streets. His first fight was at the age of 12.
"I was given 50 pesos after the fight. That's about $1," said Pacquiao. "I gave it all to my mother."
Pacquiao vs. Hatton 'The East vs the West' is promoted by Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions scheduled for May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Pacquiao vs. Hatton will be available on HBO Pay Per View.

TruTouch Technologies Raises $4.3M
Albuquerque, New Mexico-based biometric sensor firm TruTouch Technologies, which develops biometric, alcohol detection systems, said this morning that it has raised $4.3M in a Series B-1 funding round. The funding was led by iTulip Community and Launchpad Venture Group. According to TruTouch, the funding will go towards bringing the company to profitability. TruTouch offers up a system which noninvasively measures a user's alcohol level by using a biometric touchpad. The firm is selling its products to companies in oil and gas, mining, construction, manufacturing, and other industries, as a way to prevent and discourage alcohol abuse by employees.

AOpen had a range of new products on display, but the most interesting was the new AV PC that should launch this year. The HAVC 2.5 is a low profile (79mm) system that is compatible with Windows MCE and it offers a wide range of outputs including component and DVI. It will also feature a DVB-T tuner but the choice of CPU is rather unusual as the motherboard is based on the ATI RS482 chipset for Socket-939.
AOpen should also be launching its monitor range in Europe this year with a 26in LCD TV as the top of the range product.
If you're a regular reader of TrustedReviews you'll know that AOpen has produced Pentium M motherboards for the desktop already, but the new 915GM board is very different. This is targeting the HTPC market and offers component video out as well as DVI and HDMI. A full size ATX version of this board will also be available.
The XC Cube range has also been given a couple of new additions, a smaller unit for Pentium M processors and a taller one for those wanting more expandability as well as a USB 2.0 drive box that accepts two 5.25in drives.
Finally AOpen was showing its new i945P board. This latest chipset was announced by Intel at IDF a couple of weeks ago, and there were several boards on display from a wide range of manufacturers on the show. For some background on the new motherboard chipsets and dual-core processors, check out our IDF report.
There's more news still to come, but I have to rush off to a few more meetings before I catch the flight back to the UK and leave the rest of our CeBIT reporting in Benny's capable hands.

With U.S. markets shut Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, Tuesday will start the trading week off with a bang, with earnings slated to come out from tech heavyweights Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN).
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will also be reporting this week, with Apple's numbers on Wednesday set to make a big impact on markets.
Last week, the consumer tech company lost 3.9% off of its share price, as reports emerged that it slashed orders for components of its iPhone 5, suggesting weaker-than-expected demand for the device.
Analysts polled by FactSet currently expect Apple to post fiscal first-quarter earnings of $13.45 a share, down from $13.87 a year ago. Revenue, however, is expected to rise to $54.92 billion from $46.33 billion in the year-earlier period.
If the company surprises the market with better-than-expected results, its shares stand to gain significantly. If, however, it posts a loss as anticipated, it would be the first time since the second quarter of 2003, according to FactSet.
Its first quarter results will be the first full three month period to include sales of the iPhone 5, which was launched in September. Shipments are expected to total around 48 million, but investors are concerned the California-based company will not meet this, especially given the reports last week. It finished lower by over 0.5% on Friday, at exactly the $500 per share mark.
Traders will also be eager to get the scoop from Microsoft with the sales of its latest product - the Windows 8 operating system - which was introduced in October.
Info tech sector earnings are expected to drop 2.9% for the quarter. According to FactSet, of the 54 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings so far, 65% have handed in profits above the average, while 69% beat on sales.
Aside from tech, expected corporate earnings this week include Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), and McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), among others.
On Friday, the S&P 500 finished up by 5 points at 1,486 - its highest close since December 2007, ending the week with a gain of 1%. The Dow rallied 54 points, while the Nasdaq finished down slightly, weighed by quarterly results from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) reported a quarterly profit of $0.48 per share, three cents above estimates, despite dropping sharply from a year before. But shares of the chipmaker lost over 6.3%, as it projected a bigger-than-expected increase in capital spending for this year, and issued a disappointing forecast for the first quarter. Intel said it would invest about $13 billion in equipment this year, as its core PC business continues to weaken.
But markets were supported as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Friday that the House will vote to authorize a three-month increase in the debt ceiling, to give Congress time to pass a budget. Though the news provided some optimism to markets, the extension of the debt limit still doesn't provide a long-term solution to the U.S. deficit.
Better-than-expected results from industrial conglomerate General Electric (NYSE:GE) also provided a lift, which was taken in against a preliminary reading on consumer sentiment that fell in January, and data that showed China's economy is picking up steam.
With markets closed today, investors will turn their attention to the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Economic data this week will see sales of existing homes in December on Tuesday, sales of new homes in December on Friday, with jobless claims and the PMI Manufacturing Index flash out on Thursday.
Back in Europe, stock markets moved modestly higher on Monday, following gains from their U.S. counterparts on Friday. Eurozone finance ministers were meeting for the first time this year on Monday, with traders speculating they could name a new chairman as soon as today.
European markets rose, with shares in Germany leading the region. The DAX was lately up 0.39% in early afternoon trade, while Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.28% and France's CAC 40 advanced 0.26%.
In electronic trade, crude oil for February delivery gained 8 cents to $95.2 a barrel, while gold futures gained $2.20 to $1,689.20 an ounce.

Whether you're trying to sync documents or data to another computer, a mobile device, or the cloud we talk about various products and services to allow you to always have your data available no matter where you are. We discuss various options including MobileMe and Dropbox for file syncing, as well as programs that keep just specific types of data, such as music or calendars in sync.
1) Please excuse the audio quality and some hard cuts in the editing. We had a horrible time with Skype dropping out while trying to record this show and had to put the show together from a series of recordings.
2) Our friend Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline recently addressed the problem of how to sync files using DropBox when the files have to be located in specific folders and can't be moved to the Dropbox folder. Unfortunately, his show was published after we already recorded ours. You can find information on creating links to files and folders for syncing in his Screencast 202- Mac Hints & Tips Montage - 08

Never miss another 'Lianne La Havas' show
Barclaycard Mercury Prize: Albums of the Year Live: Lianne La Havas + Jessie Ware + Field Music
Three of this year's Barclaycard Mercury Prize shortlisted artists will play a special gig at LSO St Luke's in London on Wednesday 26th September, as part of a new series of 'Albums of the Year Live' events.
Lianne La Havas, Jessie Ware and Field Music will jointly headline the gig, which will raise money for War Child, helping support their fantastic work assisting children affected by conflict all over the world.
The lineup for the gig reflects the range of music to be found on the 2012 Albums of the Year shortlist, as the playful harmonies and quirky rhythms of Field Music, the sensuous and emotive pop of Jessie Ware and the heartfelt songs of singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas are all brought together on a single bill.
The Prize will be making tickets for the event available to fans through competitions and a special ballot system developed in association with Barclaycard Unwind and their partner The Ticket Factory. Entry to the gig will be free, although a donation of £10 will need to be made to War Child in order to secure each pair of tickets. Barclaycard will be matching all donations made using a Barclaycard.
Fans can apply for tickets at: www.theticketfactory.com - the ballot will close at 10am on Wednesday 19th September.
Fans who are not able to attend the gig will still be able to catch tracks and interviews on television as part of Channel 4's coverage of this year's Prize. Each artist will be the subject of a dedicated programme broadcast in October ahead of the Barclaycard Mercury Prize Awards Show, which will take place on Thursday 1st November.

London young soul sensation, with influences from Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald to Lauryn Hill. Her voice is clear, pure and soulful with a sassy and jazzy vibe. She grew up in London. Her father is an amateur jazz musician and a bus driver. When her parents divorced, she went to live with her grandmother and started singing when she was 7. Lianne was nominated for the BBC's Sound Of 2012 poll and her debut album 'Is Your Love Big Enough?' was iTunes Album Of The Year 2012.
Lianne La Havas tour dates
Jessie Ware
Famed for her work with artists such as SBTRKT, Sampha and Joker, Jessie's own sensuous, sinuous soul has broken through to the mainstream, thanks to the one-two punch of her singles 'Running' and '110%'. A heady, intoxicating brew of R&B, hip hop, dance and pop.
Jessie Ware tour dates
Field Music
Field Music brothers Peter and David Brewis, hail from Sunderland. Drawing on influences as wide-ranging as Stravinsky, Stax R n B, Fleetwood Mac, Serge Gainsbourg, Thelonious Monk and Kate Bush, they've become known for a deconstructionist approach to songwriting, playfully twisting compositions into new and odd shapes, with a refreshing disregard for convention and cliché.

Re: TransformedDistribution -- odd problem
Thanks -- that fixes it!
Bonus question: if we don't specify v2>2, why doesn't Mathematica return a two part solution:
k v2 / (v2-2) v2>2
Indeterminate True
That's what it does if we request the mean of F -- why doesn't it do the same if we request the mean of k*F.

Hi Paul
There are conditions on the v1 and v2, the degrees of freedom of the F distribution:
Assuming[v2 > 2,
Mean[TransformedDistribution[F ,
F \[Distributed] FRatioDistribution[v1, v2]]]]
{Assuming[v2 > 2,
Mean[TransformedDistribution[k*F ,
F \[Distributed] FRatioDistribution[v1, v2]]]], k*v2/(-2 + v2)}
{Assuming[v2 > 2,
Mean[TransformedDistribution[k + F ,
F \[Distributed] FRatioDistribution[v1, v2]]]],
k + v2/(-2 + v2)} // FullSimplify
which shows precisely what you expect for k*F and k+F.

This is Your Life. Do What You Want…
"This is your life. Do what you want and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over-analysing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Life is simple. Open your heart, mind and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short, live your dream and wear your passion."
― Holstee Manifesto, The Wedding Day
Nothing to add… just do it.
May 2014 be your year to shine and give. We're in this together folks. Peace.

Deborah much has changed or will be changing in my life for 2014. I have learned to follow the advice your posted in this blog. I have read everything you have written on your blog even though I have not commented on every entry. I have recommended it to many people. You are a wise and resourceful person and I am so glad I came across you. As far of my changes: First, I have retired from a steady job. I have a decent income in retirement and this will free me to do some things that do not need to generate a financial return. We live debt free and this helps. Second, I have developed some rewarding hobbies. I paint and have taken lessons from multiple artists in the last two years. In the process my confidence has increased and I feel good about my paintings. Third, I plan to leverage my experience and technology and deliver it to the public in an interesting and compelling form. Fourth, being a car guy I own a late model Corvette I purchased new and am a lifetime member of the National Corvette Museum. It is a 155K square foot indoor mall type facility complete with an extensive gift shop, banquet facility, and restaurant. I have volunteered there on several occasions. As long as you make this blog I will read it. In closing I want to thank you for being the cool person you are.

Deb – I have had a poster of the Holstee Manifesto hung in my house for 2-3 years now – great motivation!
By Michelle Kelly, December 27, 2013 @ 11:44 am
Hey Deb!!! Hope all is well with you. I have made some changes recently in my life and plan to use the Holstee Manifesto as my theme in 2014. I'd love to catch up with you in the new year to learn about all you are doing as well.

Re: [Hammock Camping] sleeping bag or quilt
Expand Messages
- I use to sleep on the ground as a kid who didn't know any better.
you will never catch me sleeping on a ground as an adult..
for many reason.. hang from a tree or trees.
tarps, wire, and a sleeping bag and saw is all you should need as dead
branches can be had as spreaders.

"A sleeping bag will work just fine, but they are a bit of a pain to
get in and out of. You may get a bit chilled on the bottom side as
well. Try a pad beneath you, and use the bag like quilt, if possible.
I am currently doing this until I can make an underquilt."
It seems I'm re-examining a lot of my gear (again ... I think I could
have bought a small (okay used <g>) car with all of the iterations of
gear). I just ordered a new sleeping bag to go lighter there --- I
live in the Pacific Northwet, er, west, where it rains a fair bit, so
I've always avoided down. With a hammock, though, there's at least no
chance of tenting in a pool of water (which I've done) so I'm going
for down.
In the "bag versus comforter" debate, I decided I didn't want to have
to choose, and so picked a lightweight full zipper bag. With a
full-length zipper, I'm not sure why someone would elect to just go
with a quilt, unless you think that the zipper would be uncomfortable?
If I sleep on the ground or in general I can use it as a mummy bag if
desired, and I think that format should keep me warmer, but I hope to
use it mostly as a comforter. This seems to work fine for me with my
20 degree rated synthetic (cat's meow) bag; the zipper didn't bother me.
I picked the Western Mountaineering "Summerlite". In my size it's 19
ounces, rated at 32 degrees. Once it arrives I look forward to
heading up into the hills (with a min/max thermometer to see how cold
it gets) and see how I like it.

60% of high-priority research goes unfunded.
Prognosis and survival for melanoma
People with melanoma may have questions about their prognosis and survival. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. Only a doctor familiar with a person's medical history, type of cancer, stage, characteristics of the cancer, treatments chosen and response to treatment can put all of this information together with survival statistics to arrive at a prognosis.
A prognosis is the doctor's best estimate of how cancer will affect a person, and how it will respond to treatment. A prognostic factor is an aspect of the cancer or a characteristic of the person that the doctor will consider when making a prognosis. A predictive factor influences how a cancer will respond to a certain treatment. Prognostic and predictive factors are often discussed together and they both play a part in deciding on a treatment plan and a prognosis.
The following are prognostic and predictive factors for melanoma.
People with early stage melanomas have a good prognosis. Prognosis becomes poorer with increasing stage.
Depth of invasion or thickness
The thicker the tumour, the poorer the prognosis. A thin melanoma (less than 1 mm thick) has a lower risk of spreading to nearby lymph nodes or distant sites. A thicker melanoma (thicker than 4 mm) has a greater risk of recurrence.
The presence or absence of ulceration of the primary melanoma is an important prognostic factor. A melanoma is said to be ulcerated if the layer of skin covering the melanoma is not clearly seen. If there is bleeding or ulceration at the primary site, the prognosis is poorer. Ulceration increases the risk of metastasis and the risk of the melanoma coming back after treatment.
Lymph node involvement
If the cancer has spread to any lymph nodes, the prognosis is poorer. The greater the number of lymph nodes involved, the poorer the prognosis. People with cancer in a single regional lymph node have a more favourable outcome than people with 2 or more involved regional lymph nodes.
If the involved lymph nodes can be felt (are palpable) the prognosis is poorer than when there is only microscopic evidence of lymph node involvement.
Melanoma involving the extremities (arms and legs) has a better prognosis than melanoma involving the trunk, head or neck.
Men have a poorer prognosis than women. This may be because men more commonly develop melanomas that involve the trunk, head or neck, while women more commonly develop melanomas that involve the extremities.
People who are diagnosed at a younger age often have a greater risk of metastases.
Growth pattern
Melanomas that have no radial growth phase and only a vertical growth phase, such as nodular melanomas, have a poorer prognosis because they are usually diagnosed at a later stage.
Mitotic rate
Mitotic rate is how fast the cancer cells are growing and dividing. In T1 melanomas, an increased mitotic rate generally means an increased risk of metastases.
In stage IV melanoma, prognosis is worse with each number of metastatic sites and with metastasis to organs. High serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)An enzyme that is involved in energy production in cells. levels and low performance statusperformance statusThe measure of how well a person is able to perform ordinary tasks and carry out daily activities. are also associated with a less favourable outcome in people with stage IV melanoma.
Together we can reduce the burden of cancer
Last year, we only had the resources available to fund 40% of high-priority research projects. Imagine the impact we could have if we were able to fund 100%.

About Me
I'm a self taught amatuar photographer currently residing in Wiltshire in the UK.
I flit between Bristol, Swindon and Salisbury mainly for shoots when I have the time. Due to lacking of time and funds most times I just use myself as my model for the long time watchers of me, they will already know this however!
I don't feel bound to one particular elemant or subject in my work, which is why when you look through most of my gallerys you will see lots of different things, ranging from alternative portraits to little kitty-kins.
I do however love love love the darker alternative side of things, so if you are at all close to me or want to travel down (or up) to do a shoot with me then don't feel at all hesitant to contact me.
I'm very friendly and if you ever need help or advice with something or just have a general question for me then again, don't feel frightened or put off of asking me.
You can currently find me here aswell :-

The Daily Monigote
I'm afraid the answer is YES!
Starting today I'm posting one sketch per day for the rest of my natural life (or until I get tired) I have created a blog called "Scribblettes" for just that purpose, I will continue to post art and rantings here as usual but the roughs, messed up, experimental crap will be shown there. I'm doing this to force myself to draw something each and every day. You can check the "One -A-Day Scribblette" at: http://scribblettes.blogspot.com
1.- Doll, puppet or grotesque figurine: "They pinned a monigote on his back on April fools".
2.- Human or animal figurine, painted, drawn or made from any type of material, usually created for fun: "The child drew two monigotes and he said those were his parents".
3.- Person deemed insignificant, either physically or morally: "And who do these monigotes think they are to order me around?", a person with very low self esteem, easily manipulated by others: "You're nothing but a pathetic and worthless monigote, you make me sick!".
4.- Small child: "Let's see, monigote: what do you want me to draw for you?"
NOTE: It's also used as a term of endearment: "These monigotes are so cute!"

NSCAA Scholar All-East Region selections
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Six Ivy League men's soccer student-athletes were honored when the NSCAA announced its Scholar All-Region squads this week.
Dartmouth's Teo Larsson-Sax and Kevin Dzierzawski, Brown's Sam Kernan-Schloss and Cornell's Patrick Slogic each earned second-team Scholar All-East Region honors, while Yale's Peter Jacobson and Nick Alers were each awarded honorable mention.
Kernan-Schloss, a third-team Academic All-American selection by CoSIDA earlier this year, is set to graduate with a degree in Community Health and Economics. In 2012, Kernan-Schloss went 13-3-3 with 10 shutouts and 57 saves while helping Brown to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where it fell in a heartbreaker to No. 2 Maryland, 2-1. Kernan-Schloss earned Academic All-Ivy and CoSIDA Capitol One Academic All-District honors last season.
An NSCAA All-Region selection earlier this month, Slogic made his second consecutive appearance on first team All-Ivy earlier in the postseason and earned second straight first-team all-region honor. An engineering major, Slogic anchored the back line and helped a defense that gave up just 13 goals all year, the second-lowest number in the Ivy League. A junior from Colorado Springs, Colo., Slogic also scored two goals and added an assist this season, and both of his goals were game-winners.
Dzierzawski, a sociology major from Oakland Township, Mich., posted a strong season in the midfield for the Big Green. Starting each of Dartmouth's 16 games, he picked up four points on four assists while taking five shots on goal. For the second consecutive season, he led the squad in assists and was tied for sixth among his Ivy League counterparts.
Larsson-Sax, a philosophy major from Kalmar, Sweden, made it difficult for opponents to score by helping lead the Dartmouth backline to two shutouts and only allowing opponents 1.36 goals per game. Larsson-Sax started each game during his senior campaign and took two shots on the year.

Earth Day will be celebrated on Friday, April 22nd around the world- as it has been since it was founded on April 22, 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. This year, involve the seniors in your life by planning special Earth friendly projects. As a caregiver, you probably struggle to come up with new and exciting activities, so why not take advantage of Earth Day?
Perhaps you've already observed that many seniors are frugal since they've lived through the Great Depression and learned to make do with very little. You may hear stories about growing large gardens to pick and preserve food, making diapers and underwear out of flower and sugar sacks, and using newspaper instead of toilet paper. Surprisingly, being "Green" may not be foreign to our seniors. Participating in Earth Day activities can bring back childhood memories for your senior.
Use some of these ideas to promote Earth Day with your senior. You might be surprised to find that they might contribute with some ideas that you haven't even thought of.
Paper Mache Vases- This activity reuses two common items that go into the landfill every day- plastic bottles and newspaper. Cover plastic drinking bottles with several layers of strips of newspaper dipped in liquid starch (you can also use watered down glue or a flour mixture). Paint the bottles with acrylic paints and a coat of Modge Podge and decorate them with yarn, beads, buttons, glass beads and other materials that you may have lying around. The vases are waterproof so they can be used to display fresh, dried or silk flowers.
Seedling or Cutting Starters- First cut the Plastic Bottle in half. Punch a few drainage holes in the bottom of the bottom half of the bottle then fill with soil and plant cuttings or seeds to create inexpensive mini greenhouses. Use the top half of the bottles as small plant cloches to protect tiny seedlings you have planted in seed beds.
Gardening and Outdoor Activities- Getting outside is an ideal way to help your senior stay active and get fresh air. Consider starting a garden, either in the yard or in pots on the balcony or patio. Involve your senior in the choice of plants and their care. Try spending time walking at the local park. Invest in binoculars or a wildflower guide to learn more about the nature around you.
Compost- It's easy to collect food scraps and garden waste and turn it into healthy compost in your own yard. Fill a composter or a make a homemade composter with old garden pots. Add kitchen scraps and garden waste on a daily basis and help stir it to get things breaking down. In a few months when you've got compost, they can take part in spreading it over the garden and watch "garbage" become rich dark dirt to make a garden grow.
Write a letter- You and your senior can write letters to government leaders and corporations about pollution and other environmental issues. Discuss the issues that impact you and your senior the most. This is also a good way to talk about current events.
These activities are great for Seniors who need extra companionship or for Seniors who have memory impairment. It's important to participate in activities that help form trust and companionship. With these activities, you'll form a closer relationship with your senior, all while "Going Green".

This dramatic design would be very impressive hanging on your wall or for use as an afghan. I always think it looks like giant knitted cables. Others see the shapes as spirals.
You can make more, or fewer, rows of cables, as you wish.
The original afghan was made using Chunky (Bulky) weight yarn but the instructions explain how to make it in any yarn of your choice.
This is not a conventional knitting pattern. If you can knit garter stitch you can make this. It is suitable for beginners and experienced knitters, or even for two, or more, people working together. You do not have to work to a particular gauge.
A sheet is included where you can plan your own colourways before you begin.

Fri. August 26, 2011 | Don Jensen
TAMPA — Sitting in a golf cart near midfield Friday night, Plant coach Robert Weiner had more on his mind than the Panthers' 35-7 loss to Miami Columbus in a preseason game at Dads Stadium.
Weiner's left knee was bandaged and iced, the result of a misstep he made during Plant's pregame sprint to the field. With Weiner sidelined and unable to wear headphones, the Panthers struggled — particularly in the first seven minutes.
Plant punter Grant Van Aman had his first two kicks blocked, the latter recovered in the end zone by Columbus' Gabriel Perez for the first touchdown. Less than two minutes later, Panther quarterback Aaron Banks had the football ripped away by Jordan Guest, who returned it 8 yards for a 14-0 lead.
"You can't give them 14 points for free," Weiner said. "(Give) all the credit to (Columbus). They're a little more advanced than we are at this particular point."
Plant was held to 87 yards on 45 plays. The Panthers' quarterback tandem of James Few and Banks had nine plays result in negative yardage. The Panthers also committed nine penalties for 99 yards. Their lone score came on 69-yard, 12-play drive in the second quarter, capped by Banks' 9-yard TD run.
Weiner was injured as the team raced through the stadium tunnel. "I took a left-hand turn and one of our guys was crossing my path," he said. "I tried to get out of his way … I just stepped on his foot and twisted my ankle (and) landed on my knee. It got real, real swollen and I got it drained at halftime. As a 46-year-old man, I'm not quite as nimble as I once was."

Watford 2-0 Nott'm Forest
- From the section Football
Watford moved into the Championship play-off places thanks to Matej Vydra's double against Nottingham Forest at Vicarage Road.
The Czech gave the hosts the lead from inside the area after Almen Abdi's through ball, and doubled the advantage with a neat 12-yard finish.
By that stage Forest had been reduced to 10 men, Daniel Ayala shown a second yellow card for fouling Troy Deeney.
The visitors went close through Adlene Guedioura but Watford held firm.
Vydra's two goals took his tally for the season to 10, sending the Hornets up to sixth as Forest dropped to 11th.
Watford, who have now won five of their last eight matches, took control after the opening goal, but they had to weather an early storm.
Danny Collins almost put the visitors ahead with a glancing header from Andy Reid's free-kick, and Billy Sharp shot wide at the back post following Simon Cox's cross.
However, when Guy Moussi conceded possession in midfield after 15 minutes, Abdi played in Vydra and he made no mistake.
Having avoided a dismissal for a clear foul on Vydra, on-loan Norwich defender Ayala brought down Deeney on the edge of the penalty area and was sent off by referee Neil Swarbrick.
From that point, the result was never in doubt, and Vydra made it 2-0 five minutes before the break.
Guedioura shot into the side netting after the interval and Sharp dragged a shot wide, but Watford never looked like surrendering their advantage.
Watford manager Gianfranco Zola: "The first half was excellent. Some of the things that we saw were really good.
"I cannot say the same for the first 20 minutes of the second half, in which we took the foot from the pedal completely and we allowed them to come back into the game a little bit more.
"That wasn't necessary but I can understand. The team felt like the game was gone so that is something we need to address."
Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll: "I thought we were a threat and had the best chance.
"Danny Collins' header should really have scored, a free header inside the six-yard box.
"But they're a fluid team, they cause you problems and they're prepared to take a risk at the back."

Clarification on cam-lock usage for private residential applications
"Single-Pole Separable Connectors" (a.k.a. cam-lock) seem to be only referred to in NEC CHAPTER 5 SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES (e.g. live concert, carnivals, circuses, etc.).
The scope of this Chapter and the below referenced articles seems not to apply to private residential usage, are cam-locks restricted to SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES usage and does Chapter 5 solely govern them?
ARTICLE 520 Theaters, Audience Areas of Motion Picture and Television Studios, Performance Areas, and Similar Locations
"Qualified Personnel. The routing of portable supply conductors, the making and breaking of supply connectors and other supply connections, and the energization and deenergization of supply services shall be performed by qualified personnel, and portable switchboards shall be so marked, indicating this requirement in a permanent and conspicuous manner.

I was hope that I could get some help with NEC interpretation of standards & compliance in wiring methods and materials as it pertains to residential use of cam-loc with Manual Transfer Equipment (a.k.a. MTS ) and Nonseparately Derived System (a.k.a. non-SDS) 702.5 (B)(1) 702.10(B).
In simple terms, I want to assess the feasibility of using cam-lock connections from trailer mount genset to a MTS that is fixed to a private residential home.
This video gives an overview of connecting a trailer mounted genset via cam lock to a MTS - I am trying to determine if this kind of private residential home cam-lock application is valid (the guy in video mounted thecam-locks directly on the MTS, I am pretty certain that this is not street legal and I was not suggesting/considering this but rather a separate enclosure for the cam locks. I actually contacted a few transfer switch manufacturers, such as Ronk, they believed that this type of field modification would invalidate their switchs UL 98 &1008 listing).
Here would be the hypothetical scenario application:
1. Existing. Utility meter 200 amp service à 1 - service conductor/wire à 1 - 200A main breaker panel/load center.
2. Install. Service entrance (i.e. service disconnect) rated single-phase, 60 HZ, 120/240V 2-pole 200A MTS (non-switched neutral) between meter & load center.
3. Mount Cooper Crouse-Hinds E1016 Cam Lok with CAM-LOK NEMA 3R receptacle covers on to a NEMA 3R trough (e.g. WIEGMANN, Hoffman, etc.) sized ~ 6x6x18. A permanently wired conductor would run between this cam-lock receptacle box/enclosure and the MTS.
It would look similar to this (or one of the other many pre-fabricated cam-lock tap box solutions on the market):
4. 36KW trailer mount diesel generator. Single-phase, 60 HZ, 120/240V, 3 wires with the 3rd wire being a solid neutral (i.e. 2H+N+G).
ii. The nameplate current rating 150A @ 240V. The generator's circuit breaker/OCP consistent with NEC 445.13.
iii. The genset would be connected to a MTS thus this application falls under Art. 702 (Optional Standby System) - not 590 ("temporary installation") and would be grounded in accordance with this article. The genset would located in 10 feet proximity from meter & MTS in a backyard gated area of a residential single-family home - not visible to the public or neighbor(s) and more than 500 yards away from a public road.
iv. The neutral & ground NOT bonded (i.e. floating neutral/ungrounded neutral) thus it would be a nonseparately derived system (a.k.a. non-SDS).
5. The portable power cable would be in accordance with Table 400.4 lists "Portable Power Cable", 1-6 conductors, Type W as suitable for portable extra hard usage. Using a CABLE per Table 400.4 is an approved wiring method thus Art. 300.3(A) Single Conductors per Table 310.13 should not have to come into play via 300.1 (A) All Wiring Installations. This article covers wiring methods for all wiring installations unless modified by other articles. Simply put, the portable power cables are not conductors but under Art.300.1 (A) these cables are allowed as a wiring method. The portable power cables would be 2000V, 100A-400A rated to NEC table 400.5 (B).
I know that trailer mounted diesel gensets with cam-lock that are connects to residential homes is a real-world occurrence but I am not interested in what others are doing but rather what is in compliance w/ NEC standards?
50A-60A plugs/receptacle/cables are the norm & amp limit for portable gas generators but their amp limits would the throttle the capacity of a 36KW trailer mount diesel genset. Sure there are other high amp connectors solutions other than "Single-Pole Separable Connectors" such as pin and sleeve receptacles (e.g. Meltric) but due to cost considerations I want to determine the viability of cam-lock use for residential application.
I have requested an interpretation from AHJ but got nothing thus I was hoping I could get some feedback from the pros on this topic.
I appreciate any help,

This is not official feedback but I do notice that a setup using Cam Lok or similar connectors leaves open the possibility that the neutral of a 120/240 volt circuit might be disconnected first leaving both hots connected and energized. This immediately produces the problem of an open neutral.
The same rationale leads to the requirement of approved transfer facilities for generator connections, so that "it must not be possible for both the generator and utility power to be connected to the same system at the same time."
So I can see the reason why Cam Lok connectors may be restricted to situations where only experienced professionals work with them.
The good conscientious technician or serviceperson will carry extra oils and lubricants in case the new pump did not come with oil or the oil was accidentally spilled, so the service call can be completed without an extra visit.

Yep, these cam-lock quick-connect/break feeder splicing and terminating devices definitely have a greater safety risk associated than plugs-receptacles hence only qualified person/experienced hands argument and not for weekend warriors (whom may have too much beers). With 4 cam-lock connectors (L1, L2, N, G) there are many more moving parts (and safety risk) than a single plug-receptacle pair, such as dropping a hot in a water puddle while energized, dangerous sequencing of connect/break as you suggested, etc. There are some cam-lock related safety devices that have built-in safeguards that can minimized the risks, such as posi-loc (forced order sequencing of connect/break) or MTS that will not allow to connect/break connections until cables are deenergized (http://www.eslpwr.com/manual-transfer-switch-home.htm) BUT... much of the dangers could be avoid by taking the simple safety precaution of the deenergizing the cable prior to connect/break. That said, I cant finds anything that says residential are probated ; I think I will connect a few companies that manufacture these cable-cam-lock the assembles I am sure they will know code since it has legal implications for sellers of these goods.
These cam-lock locked contacts will withstand a pulling force of 1,000 lbs. I always found it odd that most portable gas generators =>12KW (e.g. Generac) utilize NEMA 14-50R 50a receptacles (paired with NEMA 14-50P straight blade plugs) versus using Hubble CS6364 twist-lock receptacles (like Honda gas portable and trailer mounted generators use), the twist-lock surely reduces the potential for plug-receptacle separation or the cable being kicked-out of the receptacle.
