A History of Card Games
Imported from the Mamluks of Egypt, card games first hit Europe around 1371 and within ten years had spread like wildfire from Spain and Italy to France and Germany. By 1420, German and Swiss cardmakers were producing packs by the thousands (first by stencil, later by metal engraving) marked with a bewildering array of suits, including hounds, bears, parrots, roses, helmets, banners, and bells. Games proliferated as well, and by 1534, Rabelais could name 35 different card games in Chapter 22 of Gargantua. Today, of course, there are thousands of games, from the universally popular Poker and Contract Bridge, to national manias such as Swiss Jass, German Skat, and French Belote. Now, in The Oxford Guide to Card Games, internationally renowned game expert David Parlett provides a fascinating historical guide to cards in Europe and America. Unlike other books, this is not primarily a book of rules or hints on how to play better, but a unique survey of where the games originated, how they have developed over time, and what their rituals and etiquette tell us about the people who play them. Parlett discusses such ancient games as Karnoffel (German for "hernia"), in which the King could be captured by cards named Pope, Kaiser, Devil, and Karnoffel (this subversive ranking was decried by civic authorities and Karnoffel was even banned in Augsburg in 1446, but it was very popular among soldiers and workers). We learn that the term "Bower" in Euchre comes from the German word Bauer (Boer in Dutch), which means "farmer" or "Jack," and that Poker comes from the German word Pocher, which means "bash" or "pulverize" or "brag" (Poker is, as Parlett points out, ultimately a bragging game, in which players boast--or bet--that their hand is best). And we follow the rise and fall of such games as Piquet, which was once far and away the best loved game in Europe, and Canasta, which became a world-wide phenomenon in the 1950s, for a while rivaling Contract Bridge in popularity. The first book to explore the history of cards in the West, this attractively illustrated volume is both informative and entertaining. Whether your favorite game is Poker or Pinocle, Cribbage or Gin, Contract Bridge or Crazy Eights, you will find much here to fascinate and amuse.

It's not a subject many of us are likely to bring up at a party, but you know that little drip that sometimes follows a good laugh or that sprint to the ladies' room after a second cup of coffee? Sometimes, the symptoms seem even more unspeakable, yet one in three of us will experience them to some degree during our lifetimes.
The symptoms are frequently caused by group of conditions collectively known as pelvic floor disorders. They can be annoying. They can be embarrassing.
And they can be fixed.

Fish, skin on
steak, med rare
Becoming a Chef by Dornenburg and Page. Read that first. Don't worry about cooking certain dishesm, those you can learn anytime. Work on a line. Work like a dog. Work as many hours as you can possibly handle and then work more. Become one with any knife. Cook with the seasons, know what is local, keep it clean and fresh. Mostly just work as many hours as you can. You will learn if you really want to. When you get to menu writing, start with the Flavor Bible for a reference.
It means the balcony is full.
Hey at least it's slightly more elegant than its English counterpart.
Well.... let's just say it's related to a woman's bosom.
Ahhh the vernacular....So what you saying is that the balcony is REALLY full.
I was thinking more of chicken bosom in a bucket.
Hey you guys know how to get to my place right?
I-75 Exit #69 to Big Beaver road.
I swear I'm not making that up.
HAHAHAHA Is that on bodacious Blvd?
OK back to the topic at hand, I have a question for Petals. Several years ago we did a trip around the Gaspe on a fishing trip and wound up at a lodge up with the fine folks from the Federation du Saumon Atlantique and ESPN's Reel guys. IIR the guides spoke a lot about a dish where they would can the venison of deer or Moose along with ruffed grouse (yum) for storage and then make a pie with the meat in the winter months. Any ideas what that may have been?
I'll give it a stab . Are you thinking of "Cipaille" ?
My boss used to hunt grouse, woodcock, pheasant quail, he was a real hunter.
ps. here is an interesting read.
Yes that's it! :) Thanks for the link. The Gaspe was very pretty and so much like Northern Mi only with the ocean instead of the Great Lakes.
The fish pies and tourtieres are one thing but as you know there is so much more to the wonder of Gaspe.
Besides the fish you've probably seen the fields of strawberries or had their famous camembert style goat cheese.
The golf of St. Lawrence is also known for its production of sauerkraut which I don't think many know about that.
The wapiti farms are there as well.
Have you ever heard of the Gaspesie Gourmande's ? They promote local products on their menu's.
They have a chef down there by the name of Yvon Belzile (won awards), he works at the Fleur de Lys in Cap Chat. He is well known for his " persille " of lobster, pink shrimps and sweetbreads.
Rucher des Framboisier near the village of Maria produce large amounts of honey and wine.
Paspebiac used to be the cod fishing heaven.....
Maison de Pecheur serves some of the best French food, lobster with their famous cheese sauce.
Restuarant Etoile du Nord for the fisherman plate: cod, cod tongues, halibut, sole , shrimp and scallops.
Gite du Mont Albert rt. 299 inland from Ste Anne des Monts, there is an Inn there with a great culinary reputation. : smoked salmon, game consommé, pheasant confit, rack of caribou with garlic cloudberry jelly....
My friend who passed away not that long ago had some homes down there, Cyril Devouge, he was the best fiddler in Gaspe. If anyone should ever ask about "Cy" Devouge and his fiddling and his wife Edna's fish cakes, they will tell you all about it.
But there is nothing more serene than:
walking down to the ocean in the early morning, the cool breeze against your skin, the salt air, watching the sun come up , the sea gulls flying high and the soft splash of the waves rolling in.
ps. French food in Gaspe is unique and wonderful. The fishing is not bad either
Ahhh I remember stopping in Cap chat for seafood. I think the restaurant was part of a small hotel and highly rated at the time. It was small and unlike American kitchens spotless.
I remember mussels being quite popular and fiddle heads as well as other local ingredients.
The Gaspe is a dry fly fishermans dream. I could count the places I would place as it's equal in the entire world on one hand.
So others can know the beauty of the places we are speaking about here is a link to the National park with a slide show.
When I was a kid I used to dream of hunting Anticosti Isle.
Some day I will make it to Labrador for Brook trout.
I had no idea about the sauerkraut.
Petals your discriptive writing is very good you should attempt to write a book.

Thank you ChefEd, those were kind words, a nice way to end my shift, its 11:12 , you made my day.
@ Dave : can't beat a rainbow , a salmon or artic char for that matter. There is a place I go to in St.George the Beauce, a camp in the middle of nowhere, you get up early in the morning before the fish even know your coming and you slowely make your way down the rocks, careful not to trip into the shallow water and as the water ripples down , you spot the fresh water brook trout, not big, 5-8 inches long, just big enough to flip into a cast iron pan with butter and lemon. The dew is still wet on the grass....the campfire is slowely burning.
Mmmm. Great memories of the Gaspe and the Maritimes. When we moved to Minneapolis, my wife and I took a month off and drove from Minnesota to Montreal, to Maine and up the coast through the Maritimes. Came back through the Gaspe to Quebec City and Montreal on the way home. The best lobster bisque I've ever had was at a gas station restaurant at Cape Tormentine, waiting for the ferry to PEI. That and fresh local sea scallops and linguini cooked at our camp site at the Bay of Fundy (with the 47 foot tides). My wife was born and grew up in Montreal, although her parents were Americans. So I have been fortunate to have ample opportunity to visit Montreal and Quebec City (we are long overdue for another visit as we now usually go out to BC where her sister lives in the interior). Yup, the food in Quebec and the Maritimes is different than the states. Generally a step (or two or three) above what you can commonly get here. On the other hand, of course, there is Poutine. We do make butter tarts, crepes, flan, moules marinaire and tourtiere with some frequency at home. A number of dishes (or variations) on Petals' list are also in regular rotation at home, along with the Asian dishes that I grew up with.
A lot of Petals' list looks like Bistro food to me. With that in mind, I'd suggest Patricia Well's Bistro cookbook. Nice and straight forward take on "classic" Bistro dishes. Simple ingredients and basic techniques -- but dishes where the quality of the ingredients will be apparent. Less fussy than most of her other French cook books. I've given away lots of copies to nieces and nephews learning to cook for themselves. Eminently manageable for anyone who can shop and follow directions. I'd also add The New Orleans Cookbook by Rima and Richard Collins to American regional cookbook list as New Orleans/Louisiana food seems to me to be the most extensive and cohesive American regional cuisine. Presupposes that everyone should know how to make a roux and make a gumbo. Ultimately, I suppose what constitutes a "classic" dish depends on what culture you are from and the cuisines to which you have been exposed. Insert extensive discourse on Hawaiian Plate Lunch here (cue Kaneohegirl).

There's a sentence in an article written for Christian Post by Timothy George, Robert George and Eric Metaxas that got me thinking. It's just about mid-way through the article, in a paragraph describing Obamacare's assault on religious freedom:
With the narrowest of exceptions, all organizations are required to comply, regardless of any conflict with the mandates of conscience.Now, the dictionary defines conscience as follows: 'The awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one's conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong' and/or 'A source of moral or ethical judgment or pronouncement' and/or 'Conformity to one's own sense of right conduct'. And most people view it those ways.
But the progressive liberals in power - by virtue of leadership positions, wealth, and prestige – really embrace that last definition: they definitely conform to their own sense of values, even though they're completely inverted from what a majority of their countrymen and women believe. Most progressive liberals have the morals of your local alley-cat; a great many of them are as ethical as, oh, say, Josef Mengle or Gordon Gekko; still others couldn't figure out right from wrong if their choices were labeled with great big 'R's and 'W's.
And yet these folks (whom I call 'movers and shakers', or MS's for short) manipulate words and tickle the ears of the gullible with promises of utopia on earth, don't they? And the gullible fall for it every time. Take, for example, the abortion mandate in Obamacare (since that's where my above sentence came from): those who still understand 'conscience' the way the first two definitions define it call it 'abortion'; the MS's who embrace the third definition call it 'a woman's right to choose'. All that is, is fluffy words for something defined as 'termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival'. 'Termination' and 'expulsion' – pretty strong words, which is why 'pro-choice' (actually, 'pro-abortion') folks don't like the word 'abortion' – it's too harsh, too honest, too truthful.
Anyway, let's get back to 'conscience' and conscience-clauses. To the progressive liberals, a 'conscience clause' – in 'conformity to [their] own sense of right conduct' – would say that abortion is okay and every business should provide free ones (which is precisely what they're saying). They can't (or, as far as I'm concerned, won't) accept any other definition of 'conscience' – if it's doesn't conform to their definition of right and wrong, it's unconscionable.
Same thing applies in a slight variation with everything else the progressive liberals in government, Hollywood, and on Wall Street have been doing ever since, well, forever, it seems: re-defining terms to conform to their sense of right and wrong. Therefore, we have things like the following: borrowing and spending will get us out of debt (try that one at your bank), banning certain guns will make everyone safer (particularly the criminals), abortion is a 'choice' (not murder), welfare is a safety net (no, it's a hammock), you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it (I want to sell Pelosi a house or car that way), we don't need a debt-ceiling (S&P sure thinks so), we're in a recovery (eight million unemployed people who've given up won't agree), global warming is an immediate danger (to thermometers in the north freezing solid) and so on and so on.
Re-defining words for fun and profit. Or, in this case, misery and bankruptcy.

Look at me, at my blog, at my life and work and self-identity, and it may surprise you to learn that I feel like a fake geek. It's because I have something to hide. I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull — I almost certainly liked it more than many geeks or nerds will say they did — and you know what? Fuck you for making me feel bad about it.
This isn't about seriously disavowing serious topics for serious reasons. This about denying the existence of sequels you didn't like. This is about the ultimate dismissal of an artist's work because you don't want to process it. Vanity. Pretend a food doesn't exist because you're allergic — not because you don't like it or don't know how to chew it.
This is like saying "meh" on a grand scale. John Hodgman described meh as "the essence of blinkered Internet malcontentism. And a rejection of joy." As Hodgman put it, "It's part of the toxic Internet art of constant callous one upsmanship."
Denial is the supermeh.
Denying movies doesn't make them go away but it does sometimes make me go away. It tells me to shut the hell up, to fall into line with the geek consensus or risk having my card revoked. It makes me feel deeply unwelcome.
"We" hate the prequels, "we" hate Alien 3, "we" hate the end of Battlestar Galactica. All to the point of not looking at them? These are imperfect works with foibles and flaws, great and small … so never shall we discuss any part of them ever? Really?
This is fandom through hatred, which is a form of bullshit. Hating something doesn't emphasize or validate your fandom of something else. Hating a part of something doesn't mean you love the other part harder or truer or better. These are perpendicular things. You can dislike one thing and like another thing even within the same film.
Haven't "we" learned that we don't have to love — or reject — works only as wholes and hyperbole? We can rally for better depictions of women and people of color in works we love and still love them and still want them to change because we contain multitudes. We can disavow parts of a movie and like other parts of it.
Watch this: I will now simultaneously think nuking the fridge is a bad gag while enjoying Harrison Ford's performance as Indiana Jones in Crystal Skull. I am doing it right now. It's happening. It is not a big deal.
Saying one hates the prequels has become a tribal signifier, a signal of belonging, rather than a critical statement or an opinion on those films as films, as creative works. The meta-message is "I'm like you." For me, being a geek was never just a team to join.
For me, all this time, the greek tribe wasn't about the fact that we all loved Star Trek or Star Wars or Marvel or DC. It was about the fact that we could think critically and genuinely about works that might not get serious analysis or discussion from other sectors. Does Tolkien warrant serious study as a mythopoeic writer and world-builder? How does John Williams' musical score signal the deceit in Jaws? How does the scale and style of editing and action change between Episode I and Episode II of the Star Wars saga?
You don't have to like ancient astronauts or mystical fighter pilots or heart transplants in the wild … but can we at least talk about these things?

Question about VC4-4c in Cisco ONS15454
Hi everyone,
I have a question about VC4-4c failure. There is an ethernet circuit created on ONS1545 sized VC4-4c. In the middle of the network, the VC4-4c is separated transmitted as 4x individual VC4. What will happen if one individual VC4 fail? Will the whole circuit be torn down or just suffer loss of part of the bandwidth? Can the behavior be manipulated by configuration?
Viyuan700 brings up a good point. Rereading the original question, if the circuit is concatonated, then how could an individual VC4 fail or how could the concatonated VC4 be carried as individual VC4s in the middle of the network (some type of intermediate VC4-4c to VC4-4v mux)?. Yuyang Jin, do you have more details regarding the network? Maybe you are already deploying VC4-4v circuit between 15454 cards?
Good catch Viyuan700.
Tom is correct, but if you are using VCAT and LCAS at the end-points the circuit between will not be a VC4-4c. It will be 4 individual VC4 circuits that are stiched together by the VCAT/LCAS code. VCAT will make the 4 individual VC4 circuits look like a pipe the size of a VC4-4c. And if one VC4 fails, LCAS will take it out the failed VC4 leaving 3 VC4s still carrying traffic between the end-points.
In that case, the entire VC4-4c circuit will fail. There isn't a recovery mechanism for circuits built using standard concatenation.
If your Ethernet service cards in the 15454 support Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS), then your Ethernet circuit can remain up even if one or more of the individual VC4 circuits go down. The Ethernet service cards act to bond together individual VC4s to create a VC4-4v circuit. The VC4s traverse the SDH network as 4 independent circuits. If one VC4 goes down, the Ethernet service card then adjusts for the loss, and operates as having only a 3 x VC4 trunk.
Many of the latest 15454 Ethernet cards support VCAT & LCAS.

Distributed control of gait for a humanoid robot
Wyeth, Gordon & Kee, Damien (2004) Distributed control of gait for a humanoid robot. In Polani, Daniel, Browning, Brett, Bonarini, Andrea, & Yoshida, Kazuo (Eds.) RoboCup 2003 : Robot Soccer World Cup VII. Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, pp. 703-711.

This paper describes a walking gait for a humanoid robot with a distributed control system. The motion for the robot is calculated in real time on a central controller, and sent over CAN bus to the distributed control system. The distributed control system loosely follows the motion patterns from the central controller, while also acting to maintain stability and balance. There is no global feedback control system; the system maintains its balance by the interaction between central gait and soft control of the actuators. The paper illustrates a straight line walking gait and shows the interaction between gait generation and the control system. The analysis of the data shows that successful walking can be achieved without maintaining strict local joint control, and without explicit global balance coordination.

Quotes of the Day:
"I called the Speaker and Leader today and emailed my representatives. Thanks for encouraging me to do so. It feels good, real good." -- Will Ashby, DC Downsizer
"GOP leaders argue that extending the PATRIOT Act is especially important because the killing of Osama bin Laden might inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans. Call me cynical, but had Bin Laden not yet been killed or captured, I'm sure that these same GOP leaders would argue that extending the PATRIOT Act is especially important because Osama bin Laden remains on the loose." - Don Boudreaux
Three controversial provisions of the so-called Patriot Act are set to expire on May 27.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner, Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, has introduced a bill that would make one of these provisions PERMANENT and would extend the other two for SIX YEARS.
This bill will likely be debated and voted on in the House next week.
We need you to CALL your Representative to encourage him or her to oppose this bill. Start here: https://secure.downsizedc.org/etp/campaigns/129
After you're logged in you will find your Representative's phone number on our Repeal the Patriot Act page.
You can say something very simple to a Democratic Representative's staff, like . . .
"I want you to oppose the FISA Sunsets Reauthorization Act. Instead, I want you to REPEAL the Patriot Act. Democrats are supposed to be the party that protects privacy and civil liberties. Please do so. If we change our principles then the terrorists win."
Or you can tell a Republican Representative's office . . .
"I want you to oppose the FISA Sunsets Reauthorization Act. Instead, I want you to REPEAL the Patriot Act. Republicans are supposed to be the party of limited, Constitutional government, but the Patriot Act violates the Constitution. If we change our principles then the terrorists win."
Please also reaffirm your position by sending a letter, copying your Senators so they know where you stand. You can reach all three, simultaneously, using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System. You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
I just called my Representative to express my opposition to the Patriot Act and Rep. Sensenbrenner's bill that would make the "lone wolf" provision permanent, and extend the "records" and "roving wiretaps" provisions for six years. I want you to oppose ANY extension of these provisions, and I want you to REPEAL the Patriot Act. Traditional methods of police investigation and intelligence gathering can keep us safe from terrorists. We don't need a Big Brother Surveillance State.
You can send your letter using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System.
And please encourage like-minded friends to take action. "Like" us on Facebook and share this Dispatch!
Thanks for your help!

"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." ― Wen … [Read more...]

The Boston Red Sox announced that Carl Crawford has a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, the injury that frequently leads to Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery. Basketball lines
But rather than opt for surgery, the team announced the outfielder will accept a protocol of more conservative therapy.
A big league source expounded that Crawford is expected to miss 3 months.
"I don't know where they were given 3 months from," Crawford declared, adding he doesn't expect to be out that long.
"I'm fine," he announced. "It's only one of those things you can not control. I'm still anticipating coming back strong."
The Red Sox said in their declaration that Dr. James Andrews, who examined Crawford, affirmed the diagnosis made by the team's medical staff. Basketball spreads
"Carl Crawford was examined by the Red Sox medical staff," the statement read. "He was diagnosed as having a left elbow ulnar collateral ligament sprain. A conservative treatment protocol was suggested. Carl was also examined by Dr. James Andrews who was in accord with the assessment and plan. Carl received a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection and will most likely be shut down from baseball activity during the primary phase of his treatment."
In an eerie coincidence, Crawford's previous teammate with the Tampa Bay Rays, Rocco Baldelli, sprained his UCL under very similar conditions to Crawford. Like Crawford, Baldelli was rehabilitating from another injury — in Baldelli's case, torn knee ligaments — when he tore his UCL while throwing in the outfield.
Crawford, of course, has been in Florida rehabbing from a left wrist surgery when he hurt his elbow, an injury he claimed he 1st became aware of while the team was still in spring training. Crawford returned to Boston for an MRI on April 10 and after a follow-up exam in Boston, sought out Andrews for a 2nd viewpoint.
Crawford had been restricted to serving as DH in extended spring training games, hitting a home run earlier last week. But the Sox declaration indicated that will stop too.
Crawford, who agreed a 7-year, $142 million deal with the Red Sox after the 2010 season, struggled mightily in his 1st season in Boston, batting a career-low .255, with a .289 on-base percentage that was the lowest of any Red Sox left fielder ever (minimum 300 plate appearances).
He went through surgery on his wrist early in January, then came to camp expressing assurance of being prepared for the season opener, though the Red Sox thought May 1 was more practical. But Crawford suffered a setback after joining in bunting drills, and both the player and team desisted from making any further projections.
Last Thursday, Red Sox 3rd baseman Kevin Youkilis said, "It stinks. We hope he gets healthy as fast as possible because he's an excellent player. We are hoping he will be here to help us out."
With Jacoby Ellsbury shouldering a partly dislocated shoulder in the home opener on April 13, the Red Sox had hoped that Crawford's return would come in the near future.
Now it's possible that Ellsbury, who is predicted to miss at least 6 weeks, could return before Crawford.

Since 1950 the only American president who ever reduced military spending was Dwight Eisenhower, former general in charge of US and British troops in Europe. He understood the military never knew a dollar they would not spend and find a reason to justify the expenditure. The Senate cut about $26 billion from the Defense Department budget and it is expected billions more will be eliminated.
Anyone who has served in the armed forces understands waste and inefficiency are simply other words to describe ANY army or navy or air force in the world. Current plans are for a new generation of fighter planes to fight against–? Oh, I forgot, Ethiopia has a few jet fighter planes.

"Mexico City also in GTA."
For all fans of Grand Theft Auto, you have probably imagined playing the game around the streets of the city you live in. Well, GTA Mexico City isn't just another version of the popular Grand Theft Auto, it is a mod created by a group of Mexican fans, based on the GTA San Andreas game, and in which they have realized their dreams and changed and converted the streets of San Andreas into those of Mexico City.
Using the name GTA Mexico City there are many mods, which you can download and use to change your Grand Theft Auto to create great scenes set in the great Mexican capital. But you can not only change the streets and buildings, because the mods in GTA Mexico City also let you change the publicity hoardings, the building and subway posters and, of course, the cars (even the police cars!), buses, planes and other means of transport. Then of course you can change the characters too. All of them are subtly done to add a typical and special Mexican flavour to your favourite GTA.
If you think you have seen everything in Grand Theft Auto, want something a little different, then get ready to enter the streets of Mexico City to start your own personal Mexican crime wave. So now you know what to do, have no doubts and start downloading the GTA Mexico City mods now. It's completely free!

Ex-Wife and Dad to be Sentenced for Manchester Man's Murder
A former Neptune Township third-grade school teacher and her father are scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for the murder of her ex-husband. 39-year-old Kathleen Dorsett read a tearful account how she helped orchestrate the death of 42-Stephen Moore of Manchester at her Ocean Township home three years ago after dropping off their toddler daughter.
The Dorsett's also confessed to placing Moore's body in the trunk of Thomas Dorsett's car and hiring a former employee to abandon the vehicle in long branch and set it on fire.
According to the Asbury Park Press, Kathleen faces 58 years in prison with 51 years of parole ineligibility and her father Thomas faces 50 years with 30 years of parole ineligibility.
Dorsetts mother Lesley faces eight years for conspiring with her daughter to have Moore's mother killed.

Poland, India, UAE Step Up Defense, Airline Investments
In a note today, RBC Capital Markets highlights developments in emerging markets that should benefit big U.S. and European defense contractors:
• The Polish defense ministry is speeding up requests for 10 combat-ready helicopter bids, from foreign and domestic manufacturers, after the "outbreak of civil war" in eastern Ukraine, according to Polish Radio. Main contenders, RBC says: AgustaWestland/Turkish Aerospace Industries T129, the Boeing (BA) AH-64E Apache Guardian, and the Airbus (EADSY) Helicopters EC 665 Tiger. A formal tender for about 32 attack helicopters could be launched in 2015 instead of 2018. Poland in July narrowed bidders for a potential $8 billion missile defense system to Raytheon (RTN) and Eurosam. (Last week, Nomura Securities lowered its GDP forecast for Poland; Russia recently banned Polish fruit and vegetables imports in retaliation for Eurozone sanctions and The iShares MSCI Poland Capped ETF (EPOL) fell. It's up nearly 1% today.)
• U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, meeting with India's new government including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defense Minister Arun Jaitely, is pushing for transformative India-U.S. defense contracts for "co-production, co-development and freer exchange of technology." More than $9 billion in defense contracts have been signed between the U.S. and India the past six years.
• Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways has agreed to a €1.76B deal to purchase 49% of Alitalia, Italy's struggling airline. Etihad will invest €560 million, existing core investors have approved a €300 million capital increase, Italian financial institutions will supply the same amount in new loans, and ~€600 million of short- and medium-term debt will be restructured. Citing a Bloomberg article, RBC writes that Etihad CEO James Hogan said "the sexiest airline in Europe should be Alitalia."

For an explanation of what Weatherwax Wednesdays are all about, read the introduction post. This week's quote builds on Monday's post about the impact of the Santa Claus story on children. Unsurprisingly, in Discworld, Christmas is a little stranger. In Hogfather, Death must take over the duties of the Santa-analogue, after an attempt is made on his life. In the passage below, Death explains to his mostly-mortal daughter, Susan, why the Hogfather can't be allowed to perish. (Note, in … [Read more...]
Two quick stories about Santa and Empiricism
July 20, 2010 by 5 Comments
I really appreciate the personal stories that were shared in the comments thread of yesterday's post on Santa Claus. I'm going to be returning to some of the more philosophical issues that were raised tomorrow in my Weatherwax Wednesday post (luckily enough, Terry Pratchett wrote an entire book about the Discworld analogue of Santa, so I've got some great passages to draw on). For today, I thought I'd just share two stories about my own experiences with Santa growing up.The E … [Read more...]

David Rubenstein '73 Profiled by Washington Post as Carlyle Group Goes Public
From the Washington Post:
Another milestone they count down in Times Square, less deliriously, is the moment a company goes public by selling shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Thursday, May 3, at 9:29:50 a.m., it's the turn of the Carlyle Group, Washington's semi-mythic private-equity leviathan, the capital's most fabled generator of cash, conspiracy theories and conspicuous philanthropy.
Ten, nine, eight . . .
David Rubenstein, the public face of Carlyle, who spends his free time and money on missions such as repairing the Washington Monument after an earthquake, rescuing the Magna Carta from the auction block for the National Archives and funding the panda research program at the National Zoo, is not counting down. He stands, owlish and impassive, in Nasdaq's fishbowl studio, seeming slightly stricken by the clamor of a soundtrack that gallops like a techno version of "Chariots of Fire."
The action is being beamed around the world, and a seven-story video screen on the front of the building splashes the proceedings onto the square outside. But Rubenstein and co-founders William Conway and Daniel D'Aniello stay beyond camera range. The last place Rubenstein wants to be is seven stories tall in Times Square at the moment the market certifies him, somewhat redundantly, as a billionaire.

Llangollen canal, which is nearly 200 years old, was spruced up by local volunteers and schoolchildren on Monday.
The canal is one the most popular waterways in the UK and the scenery varies from isolated sheep pastures to the mountains of Snowdonia.
The seasonal clean-up has been organised by British Waterways - a public corporation responsible for a 2,000 mile canal and river network throughout Wales, England and Scotland.
Howard Griffiths, waterways supervisor at Llangollen, said the canal is popular with tourists and needs to be kept in good condition.
"We have about 16,000 visitors a year here," he said.
"British Waterways decided to fit in with other companies and volunteers and do a general spring clean.
"People are painting, litter-picking and servicing the towpaths.
"Dinas Bran school in Llangollen are coming on board and they're coming down on Tuesday to do a litter pick."
The Llangollen canal is part of the Shropshire Union canal, it runs from Nantwich to Llangollen and stretches 47 miles.
The aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte are steeped in history and were built by the engineers Thomas Telford and William Jessup.
They were among the first to use cast iron troughs to contain the canal.
Mr Griffiths, who has worked on the canal for 25 years, said the stretch of water in Denbighshire is very popular.
"The actual Llangollen canal gets lots of positive feedback," he said.
"It is a very busy canal and people appreciate that it is one of the main canal's for beginners."
A spokeswoman for British Waterways said the cost of cleaning the canal is minimal as they have relied heavily on the help of volunteers.
Regional conservation manager David Blackburn said the local community are invaluable when it comes to keeping the canals tidy.
"Without the backing of community members from all walks of life, both young and old, we would face an uphill struggle to maintain the growing miles of canal being restored annually," he said.

|Incorporating a host of new technology the compact and dependable DR-4010C delivers superb image quality with class-leading colour scanning speeds. The DR-4010C is a next generation departmental scanner that's small in size but big on performance. Incorporating a host of new technology it delivers superb image quality and class-leading colour scanning speeds, and is ideal for individuals and departments that need dependable performance, and ease-of-use, in one compact package. A footprint measuring just 318mm x 278mm x 187mm ensures the DR-4010C is not only an incredibly compact departmental scanner – it's one of the smallest in its class. The DR-4010C handles all your scanning needs at identical high-speeds thanks to a 3-line CMOS sensor. Colour, black and white, and greyscale images are scanned at a swift 42 images per minute, and 84 images per minute using duplex mode. An auto colour detection function is incorporated, which detects which pages are in colour and which are in black-and-white and scans them accordingly. Documents with a combination of both therefore, can be instantly scanned in one complete batch – without needing to separate the pages first.
|The DR-4010C features a new shading mechanism, which ensures that – unlike some systems – paper dust cannot be accidentally adhered to the shading plate. So there are no unwelcome black lines on the images and no need for periodic cleaning of the shading plate to maintain quality. The 3-line CMOS sensor also ensures precise images with no colour staining. An on-screen scan panel and easily selectable job buttons make all scanning jobs effortless. The DR-4010C also incorporates a useful facility which allows you to scan long documents, up to 1000mm in length. Two paper paths, either straight or U-turn, provide maximum scanning flexibility. Using the straight paper path and a secondary document eject tray means that media - such as plastic cards - up to an impressive 546g/m2 can be scanned. A number of easily-selectable modes allow you to enhance the scanned legibility of harder-to-read documents, using Canon's advanced text enhancement capabilities. Documents with patterned backgrounds, light text on light backgrounds, and halftone backgrounds, can all be captured and improved. Similarly, on thin paper a function can be selected to prevent bleed through occurring on the scanned image. Canon's CapturePerfect and Adobe Acrobat 7 Std are also included for added power.

Hotel de Oorsprong Sint Nicolaasga
Huisterheide 7,
Sint Nicolaasga
1.6 km
(5 km from Joure)
Score of 218 reviews: 7.4
The characteristic building of Hotel de Oorsprong, which dates from 1884, still breathes the atmosphere of times gone by. The former equerry's dwelling and the two drawing rooms are still exactly as they were in olden days. It's not hard to picture the proud, black Frisian horses grazing in the meadow in front of the stud farm. At the hotel, guests can obtain free walking and biking routes to explore the country estate of Vegilinbossen and its surroundings.

After years of Bush inaction, the nation is finally led by a president who has a genuine commitment to those who served the nation. Under Bush, it became more difficult for veterans to secure medical treatment because Republicans established income requirements in order to gain access to VA hospital and medical treatment. Obama promised to "break down the hurdles that exist between veterans and VA." He also made clear these barriers would not quickly come down and "this is multiyear project" in order to secure a Veterans Administration in which "human issues are dealt with in the most thoughtful and effective way as possible."
An important new thrust of the VA under Obama is to address issues relating to homeless vets. "I think a lot of the reason people fall through the cracks is historically sometimes VA has sat back and waited for people to come to them"
Hopefully, a new day is borning for those who served their country.

Zelens Intensive Triple Action Eye Cream
2 Recommendations
palacinka's recommendation
Yes, I have found an eye cream that has seriously made me rethink the entire eye cream category. Thatâs because with Zelens, from the first moment I looked at the box knew I was going to have a special experience. The box actually looks like itâs been created for an expensive piece of jewelry or designer wallet, with its deep green and brown coloring. When I pulled the satin ribbon, a velvet pedestal slid out which the cream sits on. The jar is a beautiful frosted green glass with a silver medallion hanging from the side. Even better, the cream itself is pure luxury. I loved the texture, which is gel/cream hybrid thatâs light and velvety. It also has a very nice fresh smell. I was very happy to also learn that over half of the ingredients are natural, such as Green Tea, and Vitamins A, and C. The results are what amazed me next. Within 1 day of using the eye cream I saw a marked difference in the puffiness around my eyes, the lines were completely smoothed, my skin was hydrated for the entire day and the whole area looked brighter. As much as I loved it, I do have to say that I preferred using this in the evenings before bed to in the mornings before my concealer, as sometimes I would get a little residue as a result of the mix. I used it without fail every day for several weeks, and have now completely fallen in love! Extra Info: This product line was created by Mr. Marko Lens, a plastic surgeon and international authority on skin cancer and skin aging. The packaging is designed by Anouska Hempel (who designed The Hempel Hotel and Blakes Hotel in London amongst others).
gailcooke's recommendation
Who can resist pretty packaging? Not me! Zelens Eye Cream arrives in a state-of-the-art black and green square columned box. Tucked inside, secured with a black grosgrain ribbon is a silver lidded jar holding an incredible eye cream. This year erasing potion was developed by plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Marko Lens, an authority on skin cancer and skin ageing who earned degrees at Harvard and Oxford. Acknowledged as an expert in his field, Dr. Lens has done extensive research into skin ageing, and we are the beneficiaries. The primary ingredients of this intensive triple-action eye cream are Cyclodextrins, molecules with a strong lifting effect; three peptides proven to reduce puffiness and winkles; and a combination of natural antioxidants that fight free radicals. These are combined with a marvelous blend of emollients which hydrate and moisturize. The cream itself is very light with an elusive, fresh scent which a little reading revealed is from Shiso extract, a Japanese mint leaf. The very smallest amount on my fingertip is all that's needed, so I project this jar will last a very long time. I've been applying both in the morning and at night, avoiding the area directly under the lower lash line as instructed. I like to rate my makeup and skin care items on a scale of 1 - 10, and this is definitely a 10! It may be found at zelens.com and spacenk.com. - Gail Cooke

Face it, America. You've been punk'd.
It is now quite clear that the outing of Valerie Plame was part of a broader White House effort to mislead and manipulate U.S. public opinion as part of an orchestrated effort to take us to war. The unraveling of the Valerie Plame affair has exposed their scam—and it extends well beyond compromising the identity of a CIA officer. In short, the Bush administration organized and executed a classic "covert action

United States Undersecretary of State Reuben Jeffrey who handles energy affairs, told Turkish reporters of American concerns about their nation's dealings with Iran. Turkey and Iran have discussed several major arrangements which would result in Iran supplying Turkey with energy resources. Jeffrey said: "Iran is pursuing nuclear programs and supporting terrorism" as stated in UN Security Council resolutions so any Turkish negotiations with Iran challenge UN actions. He was asked if Turkey would be penalized by dealing with Iran and were told "it was not time to go into hypotheticals."
This is the second time within two weeks an American Undersecretary of State has given warnings and threats to Turkey about how it conducts its foreign policies. One would assume the United States is not in a position to go around the Middle East giving advice on how to handle regional issues. Turkey is engaging Iran in peaceful relations which only serves to reduce tension. American suggestions are only aimed at increasing regional tensions.

I would appreciate some help (instruction) from you knowledgeable folks on HOW best to store ammo long term. This is ammo I have bought, am buying and will buy in preparation for the EOTWAWKI or when TSHTF. I have a rotating inventory of 4 calibers right now and have enuff to begin serious storage. HELP ?
Any links or personal tips would be helpful.

Keep it dry, clean, and out of constant vibration (for long term storage) and you should be good to go. Ammo cans are great for this.

As far as I understand it, ammo should last practically forever. Most important is to keep it dry. You may want to put it in plastic "zip" type bags, with a dessicant pak in each one. Do not store in outdoor sheds, or on concrete. These dessicant paks can be bought at many gun shops and supply places. I'm sure others with have more suggestions for you as well.

I store ammo in ammo cans, but do not use desiccant. Ammo is stored indoors in a climate-controlled environment (AC/heat) so should be okay. I do date code each box, and rotate on a first-in/first-out basis.
RamRod your one step away from the arsenal at the gas station in Terminator 2...I'm envious.
"I'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it!"
Great ideas and thanks for each one. I read somewhere to take ammo out of the cardboard box (cardboard will soak up moisture out of the air ?). Anyone hear that one ?
Right now my ammo is still in the cardboard boxes (which are dated upon purchase for rotation) stacked in a wall mounted metal cabinet. I have a dehumidifier that I bought from the NRA Store in it (have to recharge dehumidifier once per week). Seems to be working as a system so far, but the ammo supply is growing monthly until I hit optimum amounts per caliber (Xmas?).
Ammo cans (sorry dog guy, no cats here) on the list for purchase. Thanks !
RamRod: those pictures are great ! Gives me some idea of what my "organization" should look like when finished.
I've always just kept my ammo in the boxes it comes in. I don't keep more than 400-500 rounds on hand....and every time I shoot I go through all of it....So there is no need for me to rotate, date, or any of that....or even worry about how I store it.
I'm looking into reloading here pretty soon. When I start that I'll probably get a decent size safe and keep about 2 - 3k rounds on hand and rotate them.

I use mil surplus ammo cans becuase they are cheap and they work well. I have mostly 50 cal ammo cans for each handgun caliber, muzzle loadin supplies, and .22lr. Each is marked for what it contains. I keep rifle mags and ammo in the large grenade or rocket type boxes, also marked. The big grey rocket box contains shotgun ammo and other misc. stuff that needs to stay dry. The only downside to the big cans it that it takes a lot of effort to move them.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
Keeping your ammo in the original cardboard boxes should be of no consequence actually, if you keep them in a cool, dry place. When buying surplus ammo cans, make sure they have the rubber gasket, and seal well with a good handle and tight. I always keep any small desiccant packs that come in electronics or OTC medications. I have a host of people that save them for me. I have also bought some larger desiccant bags at gun shows, and if you don't adhere to the ft² per in³, it's really not a problem if you have desiccant that's able to be rejuvenated in the oven...and you feel your bags or packets every so often to make sure they are still in crystalized form and not mushy. You can keep everything open in the closet if you want...cardboard boxes and all--there's just a bit of maintenance involved. If you don't have desi-paks, pieces of new, broken sheetrock can take the place of that. Thing is...if you have a large amount of stored ammo, check it for signs of moisture often. Shrinking of the cardboard boxes. Discoloration of the boxes or tarnished cases. White crystals between the neck of the case and bullet, etc. Storage on wooden shelves is good. Up off the floor. If you have no choice but to store ammo in cans or wooden crates on a concrete floor......put down a barrier of a sheet of plywood, or several layers of plastic several mils thick. I've done almost every scene as far as ammo storage is concerned. I'm no expert, but when it comes right down to it.....you have to care for your ammo, and look out for it. Same thing with rust on your firearm. Do everything you can to avoid problems...short term or long term. Use common sense and what's been proven. If your ammo has never been 'wet', but you feel it has been compromised...inspect it fully and make it your priority to shoot that first and as soon as possible. That might give you a good excuse for going to the range and saving some brass. My 2¢. Keep it safe.

Rossi Surges as Earnings Signal Strategy Shift: Sao Paulo Mover
Rossi Residencial SA (RSID3) rallied after the builder's earnings report showed it focused on selling its existing inventory of inexpensive houses and generating cash as it shifted away from government-subsidized projects.
The shares rose 10 percent to 3.52 reais at 1:34 p.m. in Sao Paulo after rallying 11 percent in the biggest intraday gain since August 2012. It was the best performer on the Ibovespa equity benchmark, which added 0.8 percent. Trading volume was 1.7 times the average daily volume of the past three months.
While Rossi posted an adjusted net loss of 10 million reais, compared with the average estimate for a profit of 24.2 million reais among three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, the company said in its first-quarter earnings report that it didn't start any new projects during the period. The company has said it plans to exit low-income housing after it built inexpensive homes faster than it could sell them.
The existing inventory sales in the first quarter show Rossi "remains focused on delivering legacy projects (bearing low margins), such as those outside core regions and core income segments, as well as generating cash, which in our opinion is one of the most important steps in the turnaround process," analysts including Luiz Mauricio Garcia at Banco Bradesco SA's brokerage unit, wrote in a note to clients today.
Rossi's first-quarter sales totaled 720 million reais, exceeding the average estimate of 688.6 million reais among eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The company's cash burn of 61 million reais during the period was offset by the sale of 97 million reais of land and "significantly less" than the average of 234 million reais in each quarter of 2012, Bradesco's analysts wrote.
"The main positive highlight was the company's ability to keep cash burn in check," Itau BBA Securities real-estate analysts including David Lawant wrote in a research note to clients today.
The Sao Paulo-based homebuilder's shares have fallen 22 percent this year, compared with the Ibovespa's 9.7 percent decline.

The sneak peek for this Dallas underwater portrait shoot went live a few days ago and I have had a chance to go through them all and pick my favorites from the underwater maternity session with Arden, another super-talented Dallas Photographer! This was round two for this gorgeous preggo lady. We tried underwater portraits for the first time a last month, but her belly wasn't quite pregnant enough. Gia made a custom skirt for this shoot that we are able to use again for another shoot if it calls for it. The fabrics from all of the outfits are very flowy and really look dreamy and whimsical. I am thrilled with the results of this session and so excited to have had this opportunity to shoot underwater again. The skin tones are natural and processing is minimal for this session. We were able to use all available light for these underwater portraits. This time we had the wonderful Shannon from Something-you join us and she worked her makeup magic. Makeup does well underwater as long as you don't touch it after you have been under the water. I just can't get enough of these underwater shoots and we are already planning for the next one. Look for more from Gia and me very soon 🙂
I have also included one of the behind the scenes shots with Gia in the scuba gear. If you look closely, you can see most of the details to make the shoot happen. Each time we have made minor adjustments to make the setup more efficient. Next week we are planning to shoot a non-pregnant model. I can't wait to go dunk myself again in all of this creative projects.
Fan-freakin-tabulous! I guess i need to fly to Dallas for my next pregnancy! I love seeing these!
I love all the preggo underwater photos. If I'm ever pregnant would love to do one!
WOW!!!! Ahh-mazing!
Absolutely amazing! I love the whole look of the images. It gives it such an artistic reflection.
Pingback : Dallas Wedding Photographer Amy Karp :: underwater photographer in dallas
I love how the light is peering in at the surface of the pool. Arden is a fabulous model! Excellent and beautiful! It is truly art! Excellent!

Reports saying the Astros moving to the AL west.............doesnt make sense to me.
Why dont the Diamondbacks move to the AL west and the Astro`s move to NL west instead?
That makes more sense than anything else.
Makes more sense for the Brewers just to go back, but we know that ain't happening for obvious reasons.
Arizona D'Backs were supposed to go to the AL from the jump, too late now. The logistics of the Astros move makes sense since AL West teams already travel to Texas.
Moving the Brewers back doesn't make sense because they want the team that moves to go into the AL West, moving the Brewers would just cause a domino effect, an ugly one at that.

More from A Shadow of the Past
Foo Dogs Brass & Rhinestone Vintage Set
This pair 5 3/4" tall x 6" long x 2 1/2" wide brass Kirin dragons are each garnished with thirty-two red rhinestones. These have quite a bit of detail. This is a male and female and they are anatomically correct. They would make a great pair of bookends as they are quite heavy. The dragons were acquired from an estate in Ojai and, the woman had obviously traveled all over the world. These have a layer of dust but I am unfamiliar as to what to use to clean the brass.
