Training in European medieval martial arts consists of far more than training with a sword. It is essential that one include training that enhances ones physical stamina, strength and endurance. The medieval martial arts training is a large component of overall training, however, it is important to include other physical training to facilitate and enhance the ability to withstand competition and tournament situations. It is clear that there are three main weapons in any arsenal: a) endurance, b) skill and c) cunning. Augmentation of this martial arts training will address the first of the arsenal. It is important enough that Giacomo DiGrassi stated :
"Therefore let every man that is desirous to practice this Art, endeavor himself to get strength and agility of body, assuring himself, that judgment without this activity and force, avails little or nothing."
There are two fundamentally different types of endurance: muscular and cardiovascular. Muscular endurance is the ability of muscle to engage a large number fibres during sword training such that you can do numerous drills and reihenfolgen without taking long breaks for recovery. For example, while doing a series of phase 3 drills, you fatigue your arms and legs that if you want to get through an entire repeating set you need to be able to bring many additional fibres into play. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to deliver oxygen to the muscles to fuel further drills engagement.
We begin this training with the four (4) fundamental grappling holds. These form the basis on which more sophisticated knife and longsword disarming techniques will be introduced in later skill levels training. A short description of each hold follows. These holds will be employed in the level drills later. The illustrations depict the holds from above in order to provide a visual clarification of the holds described.
1.0 Neck & Elbow Hold (L & R)
2.0 Diagonal Hold (L & R)
3.0 Back Hold
4.0 Belt Hold
The following section describes various levels of drills to develop the necessary grappling skills. The drills are comprised of three levels, each level with increasing opposing pressure and resistance. The drills are not competition, and therefore, the student and partner must be managed by an instructor or coach to ensure that the pair don't get away from themselves.
Grappling Drills
Level #1
These training drills are to be conducted in pairs. This drill is designed to increase the student's comfort with grappling his/her opponent. In order for this to occur, the opponent must assume a non-resistant "living mannequin" role. In other words, the student delivering the holds, will have free range and unrestricted ability to deliver the above holds, in whatever sequence the student desires.
The student must transition between each of the holds described above, alternating between left and right holds if relevant.
This should be done for about five (5) minutes for each student.
Level #2
This drill is similar to level #1, except the partner now presents some resistance to the holds, making the holds a little more difficult. There should be no offense on the part of the "living mannequin" role, only resistance.
This should be practiced for about five (5) minutes for each student.
Level #3
In this drill level, the pair is now working against each other, each trying to get the better of the other, utilizing any one or more of the holds learned. Each attempts to work out of the grips by the opponent, and also attempts to deliver a hold and secure control of the opponent.
This should be practiced for at least five (5) minutes.
During this drill, some additional enhancements can be included:
Fundamental Throws
Continuing with the basics of unarmed combat training, we now utilize the holds learned above and throw the opponent using either one of the pair of techniques described below. These throws by no means should be considered a complete unarmed combat training method. These have been introduced purely as a method of expanding one's longsword training to include cross-training techniques and as a precursor to grappling and half-sword techniques introduced in delta level of skill training.
1.0 Hip/Thigh Throw (L/R)
2.0 Under-arm Gravity Throw (L/R)

Do New TSA Screenings Go Too Far?
Dale and I brought this up today and we asked if you think the TSA is going too far? I don't think so. When it comes to making sure we are safe I am fine with the added screenings. As far as patting down kids…don't think terrorists won't use kids to pull off attacks. The world has changed so much since 911 and as much of a hassle it may be…these are the steps we have to take to keep our airlines safe.

Yes, I Know: Tall, Tall, Tall...
Being tall, it is what it is.
Still to this day if I was to get separated from friends and they were looking for me, TALL would be one of the first words out of their mouth. Have you seen our friend Denise, she's TALL, hair to about here, blue shirt, jeans. It is who I am, TALL.
So what's the big deal. I'm tall, i've dealt with it. Dealt with longer than normal glances, dealt with comments from friends, dealt with the dumb question over and over my favorite being do you play basketball, learned to embrace helping people in stores that can't reach an item. It is who I am, TALL.
Funny enough, i've come to meet my fair share of taller women in the past five years. We even joked with one another asking where were you when I was 16, those rough years. Those awkward years when being oddly tall wasn't helping the situation. We can laugh about it now, having our height as a rite of passage. Even though we may not be the closest of friends, we have our height as a bond, we just know what it's like. I never saw tall women in the media like we do today, Hollywood is full of them (yeah!), SuperModels, WNBA, and Olympic Volleyball Champions. Just to see successful tall women is so wonderful to me!
Now I'm faced with a dilemma. The dilemma is how is the best way to help my own daughters go through this. My oldest daughter is five, but looks like she's at least six or seven. When I went into the casting call for Sj, the interviewer first said to us, "Wow she's tall for six". To which I responded, "She's actually five". Sj's height always comes into conversation, Wow you're so tall, she's so tall, over and over. It is who she is, TALL. Sometimes I say to people well I'm not exactly average height for a woman, does her height surprise you? Or Hello, I'm her mother, over here 5'11", the one that has gone through this already and you're comments aren't helping.
I should know what to do or what to say, having lived this TALL life. But sometimes it's hard. It's not something that is rude to say, but it still is something that becomes imprinted in my mind or my daughter's mind over and over. TALL, TALL, TALL. I never say to another mother, wow your child is a little plump! Or comment on their child's height. I just don't, I know what it feels like. I guess I have that sensitivity filter, it's a part of me, a part of the life I have lived.
The most wonderful part of having tall daughters today, is that women in sports rock. TALL women rock. Olympic gold medal winner, Kerri Walsh is a 6'3" beautiful beach volleyball star! I love seeing tall women grace the television screen, grace the sports world, and give my daughters a sense of belonging. I never really felt that, but I know times are changing.
My goal is to help my daughter's embrace who they are, who they become, their dreams and goals. Part of their journey will be brushing off the TALL and allowing people to get to know them, their quirks and strengths, for TALL is just one part of the whole.

I'm almost 5'11 and my buddy Gabi (All Who Wander Are Not Lost) is 6'0. We revel in it. And hell yeah I wear heels. And here's the kicker: my husband is 5'7 1/2. (can't forget the 1/2 ;)ReplyDelete
And my oldest daughter is TALL (6 years old.) I say it gives them reason to be wild and colorful, because you know that people will be watching.
I'm tall, too. For the longest time I thought it was a BAD thing...now I'm so GLAD.ReplyDelete
I love being able to see over other people's head in a crowd. I love standing out in this way. I love that height gives some leeway on weight.
I'm still trying to lose the slouch I developed in high school.
I don't think it's anything your daughters need to get over. They are lucky!

Maybe my shortish 5'10" stature will offset the girls height? I love my tall ladies!!!ReplyDelete
-hubbs (one of these days i'll choose an identity and not come up as anonymous)
I'm 5'8". I have always been taller than most people. And my husband isn't much taller. I love high heels but I don't wear them often because I hate being taller than him.ReplyDelete
Both my kids are already in the 98% for height. I think being tall is a blessing and a curse....
One of my best friends was already 5'10" in 8th grade. I wasn't even 5 feet yet. We were quite the pair. ;) I do know it was a struggle for her, and having the nickname "tree" didn't help either. Not to mention the cute shoes never came in her size.ReplyDelete
But hopefully things are changing. People are getting taller in general, I think, so hopefully it won't be as difficult for your daughter. Hopefully. :)
I'm tall, tall, tall too and have been forever. I was 5'10" in the 8th grade too. It was hard being the tallest person (boy or girl) around but I did get over it eventually.ReplyDelete
I think it is better now so hopefully your girls won't have the same problems we did growing up.
I'm shortish or well average at 5'4 and a half. But my husband is almost 6'5. Morgan is in the 79% for height and only like the 9th for weight. So we, get the questions too. I just figure, now you can show them famous women who are tall. Be confident in it yourself and hopefully they will be too. :)ReplyDelete
I know I've said this, sorry. I meant it more in she's getting so big! I hate it when people say my kids are so tiny, so little, so petite. Of course it's because hubby and I are shorties. I don't worry about it as much with Ms. E, but more with Mr. E. Everyone always seems to laugh about the short guy. We'll just have to teach him how to box and do karate ;)ReplyDelete
My dad, mom and sister are all tall. I was the midget of the family. In family pictures they all stood next to each other in a row, and I would stand in front of them like a child. They all were the normal ones, I was just "short." They would make fun of me when I had to climb on the counters to reach the top shelf. It was fun living with tall people, in a sadistic sort of way.ReplyDelete
Your daughter probably can't want to grow up and be tall like her mom :)
I was really tall until I was a teenager. Then things kind of leveled out. But I know how hard it is to be the tallest girl in your class. You feel "big" and that's just not a self esteem enhancer...ReplyDelete
But I think you're right - tall is more "in" now. And playing up tall role models has to help.
Also - you can model the right attitude for your girls. When they see their tall mother looking tall/glamorous/confident/powerful/etc. - then they will be more likely to see themselves that way.
I think it's impossible to avoid insecurity growing up - but we have to at least TRY to help right?
I don't feel sorry for you at all :), I think being short SUCKS way more!!!! Plus, you know the size of my extremely TALL child and I get the how did he get THAT tall, you're so short. Sorry but no one gets to model because she is short and gymnast are all we have to look to in the short sports department. Plus being mistaken for being 12 and getting the children's menu at restaurants when you are 16 because of your size is not fun. Not to mention when you gain an extra five pounds! Just feeling sorry for myself...;)ReplyDelete

I'm with Jennie. I'm 5' even, not even a half or a quarter inch to spare. I'm 29 and I still get carded at R rated movies...Yes, I GET CARDED AT MOVIES. Let's not even talk about how people treat me at bars or liquor stores.ReplyDelete
Being short is much more difficult. Tall women, while not the norm, have a defined place of beauty (as models) and athleticism. Not us short girls. We have gymnastics and are considered old at 20.
Gaining weight, don't even want to go there. :-) TWO POUNDS looks like a lot on me, and I can gain that just from being bloated before my period.
I'm not saying I don't feel sympathy for you... Our culture is not one that makes it easy to be anything but "perfect" and "average." I'm just saying...trying being 5 feet tall and almost 30! :-)
I shot up quick and was the tallest all through grade school and I am still trying to correct my posture- my default is to slouch. I didn't want to stand out, which is funny because now all I want to do is stand out. In the end I was 5'6" - not that tall - wish now I was taler. Your question is a good one - how do we protect our children, particularly our daughters who go through that painful awkward stage - can we make it different? i hope so - maybe all together we can find some answers xoxoxoxReplyDelete
I have the exact opposite problem..and totally fine with it too...ReplyDelete
One of my very best friends is maybe an inch taller than you..so we make a funny pair...but then again so do my husband and I:) he's 6'3
hoping one day my tall friend moves here and you guys can meet...she reads and enjoys your blog too:)
It's so funny that being tall caused you so much grief; being short (5'1") has been the bane of my freakin' existence! :)ReplyDelete
I'm sure you'll help guide your daughters. And the next time I hear a mom tell another mom her kid is fat, I'll punch that first mom in the face. For serious.
Well the other good news is that there are a lot more clothes for tall or short people nowadays. I'm not tall but have long legs and it was awful growing up finding things, but there is so much more choice now, thankfully.ReplyDelete

Omgosh! Hi Denise! I saw this link from fb and of course the 'TALL' caught my eye! Holy comments that range all over the place too!ReplyDelete
I think one of our first real converstations way back when was about our tallness! While everyone has their own things they would like to change about themselves.. I feel every word that you wrote here. And I certainly can see the dilemma about how to build confidence within your daughter during the tough teenage years you will face.
My first thought is that you will be able to give her your understanding and words of wisdom to help her get through it. You will be able to tell her you understand because you have been there and you will be able to remind her to stand up TALL! You can help her to mature in ways that will help her for the rest of her life. The 'is what it is' mentality. No bitterness, no fear, or disdain with the descriptive word TALL.
I have thought about the "if I had a girl scenario" and how it would be more challenging/different at times because I assume my girl would have been TALL. With boys naturally it is more accepted for them to grow up to be TALL. I find myself thinking in my head, "Grow, grow, grow!"
Hope you are well, Good luck!

I feel your pain. We're the same height, and I was this tall in 8th grade. Painful to be that tall. A hs friend posted a picture (on Facebook) of me in 8th grade, singing in swing choir. I towered over everyone. I still feel huge, though I'm really not. I am taller than my husband, and try to avoid high heels for that reason. I still have to make myself not slouch, not so much because of the height, but because I can't really hear anyone much shorter than me. Oh, and yeah, the height. I don't have the problem of super-tall kids; the oldest is small for his age and the youngest is tall for his age. Evens out. When you have a tall kid, you forget their real age, and they do get treated as though they are older. Happened to me growing up, all the time.ReplyDelete
Sometimes height just isn't all it's cracked up to be. I can reach high shelves, but can't find pants. Not much of a trade-off. ;)
Tell them that being short sucks (I should know). They will be tall, beautiful and powerful. All will envy them.ReplyDelete
This is an awesome post. Being another tall woman, I agree wholeheartedly with all the points you bring up. High school was difficult but I wouldn't trade being tall for anything these days.ReplyDelete
I love your opinions on raising tall children as well. My husband is 6'4" and although we're not trying to have kids yet, when we do, they're going to be VERY tall. I'll probably have more questions for you then.
From one tall lady to another, thanks for sharing.

I am tall, tall, tall. I am 6'1.5" and my husband is 6'9"...we get the long lingering looks a lot. We both played sports in college, so many of our friends are also tall. The best advice my parents gave me is to be proud of the body that God graced us with and if people make fun of me it is probably because they were jealous. I really believed this as a child and it gave me great confidence.ReplyDelete
I know this is an old post, but I enjoyed it so much, I am 5'9 and have pretty thin bones. If I'm a few pounds,5 over, you can really tell. I can't hide anything. And i get carded ALL the time at 32. Short people think their the only ones that have these problems, not so. And I know what your talking about with the tall comments on the kids. My reply is always, well i'm 5'9". And then they say, but oh, kinda stupid like. I found your site by way of your post last year debating if you would take your kids to blogher. I really want to be in NYC right now, but happier here at home with the tot.ReplyDelete

Maybe it would help your daughters if you could help them to look up to some good tall girl role models? For example, Michelle Obama is tall AND she she is a successful academic. Lindsay Davenport is tall AND she is a great tennis player. Michelle Wie is tall AND she is a great golfer. Janet Reno is tall AND a famous lawyer/ judge/ former attorney general. There are so many to choose from, that you just choose the ones that have qualities that you admire. Help the girls to respond with 'I love being tall and I love being ...(smart, sporty, artistic, healthy etc..). And let's face it, in today's model conscious world, is anyone seriously saying that tall is not part of being beautiful?ReplyDelete

I just found your wonderful blog, and although this is an older post, I had to comment. My sister-in-law is 6'3 and she tells me the moms' reaction to these comments is critical. So when people remark about my very tall daughter, "Oh My God, she is so TALL!" I reply, "Thanks! Isn't she lucky? It's so great!" Here's to teaching our girls to stand TALL no matter what their height!ReplyDelete

Great blog. I'm 5ft 2 and have always been short, my husbandReplyDelete
is 6ft 2. My 8 year old is 5ft already and I get so sick
of the TALL comments. Everyone feels able to
say it. Teachers and other mums are the worst. They say it
every time they see us together, as if I haven't
noticed. So funny. I worry my daughter will end up over
6 ft but I make her height something to be proud of
and so far she is. She is amazing at sport and beautiful too. Lucky
girl I say. Lucky all tall ladies!

Strangles, caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi, generally involves lymph nodes of the head region and can result in lethargy, loss of appetite, swelling and tenderness of the lymph nodes, nasal discharge, fever, and difficulty breathing. Horses showing signs of strangles should be isolated immediately.
The disease can be spread by direct contact with nasal secretions, pus from a draining abscess, contaminated items such as water buckets, shared halters, or by the clothes and hands of people in contact with the horses.

Citation: Labate, J.A., Robertson, L.D., Bjorkman, T. 2004. Utility of bocal-a and boap1-a genotypes in identifying broccoli and cauliflower accessions. Hortscience. 39:773. Interpretive Summary: We have worked on developing diagnostic tools to distinguish between broccoli and cauliflower seeds and seedlings by genotyping several-hundred plants from PGRU broccoli and cauliflower accessions for flowering-developmental pathway markers. We found evidence to support published claims that certain gene mutations are associated with cauliflower and not broccoli, but the associations were weak and not predictive in PGRU accessions. Additional genes may have confounded our results. Continued improvement of such tools will allow curators and breeders to predict phenotype without growing a plant to maturity.
Technical Abstract: Broccoli and cauliflower are different botanical varieties of Brassica oleracea. Mutant alleles at the loci BoCAL and BoAP1 can cause arrest at curding that is characteristic of cauliflower. These genes control early floral differentiation, necessary for the progression from a cauliflower-like inflorescence to the flower buds of broccoli. To what extent is the cauliflower-to-broccoli variation within the USDA-PGRU collection determined by mutant alleles of these genes? We surveyed the broccoli collection to examine the correlation between genotype and phenotype. Earlier work showed that BoCAL alone was not an effective predictor of cauliflower phenotype in this collection. The redundant function of BoCAL and AP1 in determining inflorescence arrest raises the possibility that the combined genotype can explain the phenotypic variation. We found that not to be the case. Two accessions varied in phenotype and segregated at both loci, but the combined genotypes were not associated with the expected phenotypes. Two additional accessions varied in phenotype and segregated at one locus, but with no association between genotype and phenotype. One line varying widely in phenotype was fixed for both loci. One line that was a stable intermediate phenotype segregated for BoCAL. A commercial broccoli cultivar had the cauliflower allele at both loci. The genetic basis of the cauliflower phenotype in the USDA B. oleracea collection is due more to alleles of genes affecting the expression of BoAP1 and BoCAL than to variation in these alleles of the genes themselves.

Mugabe shuts 'racist' private schools
Page Tools
Zimbabwe's Government has closed the country's 46 private schools, arguing that fees were too high and stopped blacks from attending.
Education Minister Aeneas Chigwedere accused the schools of being racist, raising their fees to keep out blacks. "They are all former white schools - all racist," he said. "They throw Africans out simply by hiking fees."
But the overwhelming majority of children at the closed schools are black and most schools are run as not-for-profit trusts. Among the students stopped from attending school was President Robert Mugabe's middle child, Robert jnr.
Some schools have lodged an urgent application with the High Court, claiming the closures were unconstitutional. Opposition MP David Coltart said the closures punished the students' parents.
"About 90 per cent of parents... do not support the ruling party."

I had my first daughter at 19 at a hospital and had to fight tooth and nail to have a natural birth (even then I ended up forced into getting an IV and had to suggest that they give me an internal monitor in order to get them to let me out of bed!). My daughter ended up having meconium aspiration from all of the stress and had to have her cord cut early and 20 minutes of suctioning and oxygen inside the warmer. We were lucky that she didn't end up in the NICU but she had a hard time breastfeeding and the first few months were very difficult - she cried constantly and I still wonder if it had to do with our birth experience.
After that I decided to hold off on having any more babies for a long time. After all, I was still really young and had plenty of time and I was still traumatized from my first experience. I opted for the most reliable form of birth control - an IUD. Fast forward 3 years (shortly after my daughter self weaned) and suddenly I started feeling a familiar type of exhaustion and having spotting. Feeling silly, I went to buy a pregnancy test "just in case" and was shocked when it came out positive. After going to the hospital I found out that I was definitely pregnant and miraculously the IUD was still in place and far from the baby. Still, I was told that there was a good chance of a miscarriage. But I knew right away that our little miracle was here to stay.
I had a very stressful pregnancy, struggling financially to pay our bills and the midwife and feeling like I was completely unprepared to have a new baby. But my husband and daughter were so excited about the new baby and eventually I started to feel more at ease. After I stopped working and the holidays were over with I had a lot of time to relax and spend time with my family and prepare for baby. By the time I got to be 39 weeks I was so anxious to meet her. I started going for long walks and tried my best to be patient, but I was expecting her any day since I had gone into labor with my first on my due date.
Four days before my due date I was still anxious and went with my husband and daughter to the mall to distract myself. Later that night at Target I started feeling weird and flu like and wondered if I was going into labor soon. I went to bed and half woke up in the middle of the night with mild contractions. I had been getting Braxton Hicks for weeks but I could feel these more in my back so I figured things might be getting started. I slept well and woke up around 9:30. When I got up I felt a little gush and found out my water had broken (actually it was just leaking and continued to throughout the day). I got excited and went to make breakfast before calling my midwife. My brother was at home with his friends and I felt a little uncomfortable so I decided to take a shower before getting things ready. After taking a shower my contractions stopped but I continued staying busy, cleaning up the house and hoping they would pick up again.
My husband wanted to take a walk to get exercise and I agreed figuring it might bring my contractions back. I had a few mild ones while we were eating lunch but nothing that really felt significant. At home I got the plastic cover on the bed and inflated the birth pool and eventually my mom came home (I had decided at the last minute to have her there to watch DD even though I wasn't sure that's what I really wanted). We watched TV for a while and I started doing some positions to rotate the baby in case she was posterior like my first had been. I'm not sure if that's what did the trick but around 11pm my contractions started coming more regularly and that's when I told my husband and my mom to take a nap, I figured I still had a while to go.
I had a snack and got one for DD too and we watched TV together. I started feeling restless and wondered what I was going to do while everybody was sleeping. Then around 1am I started getting shaky and having to breath through the contractions, that's when DH got up. I thought I might be starting to transition but it seemed way too soon. 15-30 minutes later I started having to moan through contractions, and debated whether I should call the midwife. Finally I did and regretted it as she asked me to stay on the phone through my next contraction and of course it ended up being much milder since I was talking to her. She thought I was still in pretty early labor but said we could start filling up the birth pool.
Filling the pool was more complicated than we thought it would be and I almost thought it wasn't going to happen. By then I wasn't any help, it took all my concentration just to get through my contractions and try to time them. Thankfully my husband figured it out and I spent the time between contractions trying to test the temperature. Pretty soon I got really shaky and started throwing up and telling DH I couldn't do it anymore. I knew I was close then so I called the midwife and told her my contractions were definitely a minute apart (which is when she wanted me to call back). Pretty soon after that I started feeling like I had to push and after I got up and went to the kitchen to check the water temperature I knew the baby was coming soon. DH was freaking out a little and kept telling me to call the MW and see where she was because she only lives five minutes away but still wasn't there. I did, she said she was getting in the car and to get in the tub. (which had barely filled up on time - there still wasn't much water in it) I had one more contraction standing up and had to squat over the floor and DH said "Are you going to have the baby with your clothes on?", then I got undressed and got into the tub. 2 or 3 contractions later baby was crowning and that's when my midwife got there. I said "the head is out!" and she came over as I pushed the baby out in the next contraction. By then it was 4:02am.
Baby Genevieve was tiny but perfectly healthy. She gave out a little cry and then spent the next 10 minutes looking contentedly at her family. She even latched on and nursed for a few minutes in the tub. My mom came out with DD who was so excited. We waited a long time for the placenta but it didn't come so we moved to the bed. After another 10 or so minutes in bed I had to really focus on getting it out, and I started freaking out a little. It ended up coming out but was very calcified and seemed to have some pieces missing (which I ended up passing later). I'm still a little concerned about that, and curious about why there was so much calcification. DD got to hold the baby and right after that she passed right out on the bed. Then we all slept for most of the day, which was wonderful.
Genevieve is such a calm and happy baby. She sleeps a lot and has been breastfeeding great. I'm so happy to have my little family!
Athena, mommy to Anastasia (1/18/09) and Genevieve (1/22/13)
What a wonderful birth story and congrats to those sweet girls of yours.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Eight different Spiders scored in Richmond's 14-12 victory over visiting Longwood Tuesday afternoon at UR Stadium. Freshman Gabi Wiegand tallied a game-high four goals.
"We won a great fight today," said head coach Stephy Samaras. We proved to ourselves that we can get up on a team and stay up."
The Spiders struck first when Anne Ryan scored off a free position five minutes into the game. Longwood countered three minutes later with a free position of its own.
Richmond then rattled off three unanswered goals, two of which came off assists. Kara Moschetti netted the free position score to put the Spiders ahead 4-1 with 14 minutes remaining in the half.
Longwood scored again, but Wiegand tallied another and Sam Stevenson converted a Julianne Nicola pass to bolster the lead to 6-2.
The Lancers answered back with three consecutive goals to cut the deficit to 6-5 but the Spiders tallied two more to take a 8-5 edge at the break.
Richmond came out firing on all cylinders to open the last frame, scoring three goals in two minutes to take an 11-5 advantage.
After a Lancer goal, Wiegand again came up big with another score from a Ryan dish. Julianne Nicola added a goal thirty seconds later to put the Spider lead to 13-6 with 20 minutes remaining.
Soon thereafter, Longwood came to life and scored three quick goals in the span of two minutes to cut the Richmond lead to 13-9. Mary Flowers scored on a free position to add to the Spider advantage, but Longwood made the game interesting down the stretch scoring the game's last three goals to make the score 14-12.
Wiegand recorded her second-straight team-high performance and is second on the team in goals scored (18). Mary Flowers, Richmond's top scorer at 20 goals, followed Wiegand with three goals.
Five Spiders also recorded assists.
Richmond resumes play at No. 10 Towson Saturday at 1 p.m.

Malia Cali, a rising junior on the women's cross country and track and field teams, had the opportunity of a lifetime this summer as she traveled to Kenya on a mission trip with Student-Athletes Leading Social Change. The group of student-athletes from four major universities worked to raise money for schools for the non-profit Free the Children.
Watch a video on Malia's time in Kenya here.
Malia Cali on her time in Kenya:
I went with a group called SALSC (student-athletes leading social change) which included students from UNC, Michigan, Illinois, and Lehigh. We raised money to build a school in Kenya through the non-profit organization Free the Children. Free the Children has projects in seven countries and their goal is to bring sustainable change to communities by addressing the four pilars of education, water and sanitation, the environment, and alternative income.
In our time there we were able to help build the school as well as learn about the people, their culture and their way of life, and the difficulties they face each and every day. We lived without electricity and running water for the duration of our trip, learning to appreciate things that we had previously taken for granted.
To experience the joy and gratitude expressed by these people who have so little really put into perspective the how fortunate we are. It was also very touching to see how much the children valued education and their excitement toward learning. For them, making it to high school is a privilege and often a sacrifice that their families cannot make. That being said, it was extremely rewarding to see the changes happening in the communities that Free the Children have entered.
Through education, families are becoming more aware of health issues, the people are taking part in alternative income activities, and the advancement of the area is continuously occurring. I hope to continue my involvement with the organization because the actions they are taking are bringing the hope of a much brighter future to many children in impoverished areas around the world.

Sweet vindication. A day after the Jets slumped to another late season defeat, reports out of New York are that Mangini will be fired today. The Jets were 8-3 at one point this season but slumped to a 1-4 finish, thanks in large part to Brett Favre who threw eight interceptions in the last few weeks. A news conference is to be held in about an hour making the announcement.
My Take: See you next Tuesday, Man-genius
Tags: Brett Favre, Eric Mangini
Well that was a pleasant morning surprise for me.
Maybe Mangini will show show up on one of those celebrity weight loss ads -I won't miss the man-boobs! Or his pompous swagger. So, now do we root for the 'Fins in the playoffs?

Former Miss Ventura County lends operatic voice to concert
CLU alumna raising cash to study music abroad
Former Miss Ventura Kayla Bailey is putting herself in the spotlight to raise money for an educational opportunity abroad.
A California Lutheran University graduate, Bailey is finishing a master's degree program in vocal performance at Cal State Northridge. She recently won a $1,000 scholarship to attend the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) in Austria, but the six-week summer program will cost more than the amount of the grant.
The CLU alumna, who won the Miss Ventura honor in 2012, will be the featured artist in a concert at the Samuelson Chapel at CLU in Thousand Oaks on Fri., May 3. She hopes to raise the additional $7,000 needed to attend the program in Graz, Austria.
In addition to the cost of the program, Bailey said she must pay for airfare, food, transportation and other expenses.
The AIMS summer program is an elite program for budding opera singers like Bailey.
If her plan to raise money succeeds, she will attend music and German language classes and a master course where she will perform and receive critiques from classical music professionals. She will also receive private voice lessons and will have the opportunity to perform in concerts and recitals.
The CLU concert will kick off with a classical repertoire from composers Benjamin Britten and Johannes Brahms, and will conclude with musical theater tunes and pop vocals, including the James Bond song "Skyfall."
Other featured artists from Ventura and Los Angeles will also perform.
Bailey said fellow CSUN students Joel Castro and Jenny Ohrstrom, and former CLU classmate Susan Ruth are donating their time and talent to help her reach her goal.
Also performing will be Arete Vocal Ensemble singers Sterling Koch and Michael Falcone, and Oxnard-based jazz singer Desiree Gillespie. Bailey's private voice studio students Ally Crocker and Alex Brandenberg will perform with their jazz band, which includes members of the Moorpark High School jazz ensemble.
"It's going to be an amazing concert," Bailey said.
The evening event will include a live auction, refreshments, raffled gifts and the opportunity to shop at vendor booths, including Premier Design jewelry, which will donate a portion of its proceeds toward the trip.
Bailey, 24, lives in Moorpark, teaches private voice lessons and works as a rehearsal assistant for the Los Cerritos Middle School choir in Thousand Oaks and the Los Robles Children's Choir in Westlake Village.
After she graduates from CSUN, Bailey wants to pursue a professional singing career.
"I love performing all kinds of music, so I will be auditioning for opera young artist programs, competing in vocal competitions, auditioning for musical theater productions."
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the concert begins at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for children under 10. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by contacting Bailey at (805) 298-9638 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pope declares sainthood of two Indians, four Italians
By Isla Binnie
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis conferred sainthood on two Indians and four Italians on Sunday, praising their "creative" commitment to helping the poor.
Francis added to the roster of Catholic saints a Keralan mystic nun, an Indian priest and social reformer, the former Bishop of Vicenza, and three members of the Franciscan order.
"They responded with extraordinary creativity to the commandment of love of God and neighbor," Pope Francis told crowds in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.
"Their preference for the smallest and poorest was the reflection and measure of their unconditional love of God," said Francis, who chose his own papal name after the saint of Assisi, who symbolizes austerity and love for the poor.
Portraits of the newly sanctified hung from St. Peter's Basilica, in front of which 5,000 Keralan Catholics and two local government ministers joined the crowd, according to the Union of Catholic Asian News.
Carmelite nun Sister Eufrasia was sanctified with Kuriakose Elias Chavara, who founded the sisterhood she belonged to.
Eufrasia, canonized six years after India's first female saint, was born to an aristocratic family in 1877 and took a vow of chastity aged nine.
Chavara founded two Carmelite congregations in India in the 19th century, and decreed that every church should have its own school. Continued...

The Unnamed Russian Goon is minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV.
He is a guard working for Adam Dimayev, and will likely be killed during the mission Portrait of a Killer, alongside several others by Niko Bellic. However, if his boss and the rest of the guards have already been killed, this last surviving member will drop his gun and surrender. He can then be spared or killed by the player, although it doesn't have any affect on the story either way. If spared by being left alone, he will merely exit the compound as if he were a common pedestrian.
Mission Appearances
- Portrait of a Killer (Can be killed)
- He is one of only two characters that can be spared by the player but also have no further appearance in-game, the other being the Unnamed Jewish Mobster.
- The skin used by the goon is generic and relatively random.

I have aquired my dad's 1939 Jaguar by Classic Roadsters he built back in 1985. It has a ford V6 2.8l enigine with a 4 speed transmission. One of the wind wing hinges cracked and broke in half. Anyone know if the hinges are interchangable between their kit cars? I've been speeding at least 2 hours a day looking all around the net and have came up empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you know anyone with some spare hinges, I'd be very gratefull. Thanks in advance for your help.WTWest
A picture of my Jaguar.
That is going be tough to find. I worked at Classic and we had them custom made somewhere in Minnesota. Email me a digital photo of what part is broken, I assume it is Te aluminum half of the Hinge.
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee259/WTWest/hinge.jpgCan't remember how I posted the last picture. Here's one of the broke hinge and one good hinge.
Are there any members out there that has a 39' "Duke" Jaguar? If so, I'd like to hear from you. I'm having a tough time finding anyone that might have one of these kits. Any information you'd be willing to share would be great. You can post here, or email me at email@example.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.WTWest
I just recently acquired one...I did a little research...there are 2 companies...Eagle coach in buffalo ny and classic roadsters in fargo ND
I have a 39 Jag built by Classic Roadsters on a 1983 Chevette frame with the 4 cylinder chevette engine. I have the same problem that some others have with a broken window hinge. I am looking for a hard top for my car. I have an extra set of side windows and a new top canvas if someone is in the need. My email is email@example.com
I am told that Classic Roadsters in ND has been closed for sometime. I also need one hinge and am trying hard to find one for my same model car as yours. If you have any luck PLEASE let me know.
Will do. Haven't been successful yet, but I'm still trying. Good to hear that there's some other owners out there. I've taken my side windows off for now. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer. I try and drive mine as often as I can. Do you have any pictures of your Jag? Challenger09, which company made your Jaguar?
Nice car,,Very cool jaguar..
Still looking for a hinge for the passenger side window. Mine was made by Classic Roadsters. I am having trouble adding pictures of my car. I can send them to you by email if you like. My address id email@example.com.
Greetings fellow Jaguar owners. Just want to confirm that Classic Roadsters in Fargo did move several years ago. They were concentrating more on Cobras in the end and when I last heard they are soon to be out of business.There is a company here in Canada that makes a MG replica and some of their parts (though rediculously expensive) do fit the Duke. (prototyperesearch.com)Good motoring everyone
I have one made on a tubular frame w/ Mustang II v-6 engine, removable top, auto trans, Pioneer radio in exellent shape. firstname.lastname@example.com "groundhog" on this site.
I have an unfinished '39 "Duke" Jaguar kit car. What would you like to know?
Hello, I just bought one on Ebay. Would love to share info.

Private room
2 Guests
1 Bedroom
1 Bed
About this listing
My place (and soon to be your home) is in one of the best locations in Nairobi.
Quiet neighborhood, 2 minutes walk to Nairobi Arboretum park, safest area as it is across the road from State House and a 10 minute walk to the city center.
Free WiFi included.
The space
Cozy apartment, tastefully furnished to make you feel at home. Your room is private and lockable. You'll have free high speed wireless internet and a mobile phone with a pre-paid local card as an option.
The apartment is surrounded by a large garden with beautifully aged, protective trees. It is on a private road with minimal traffic that leads to the park where you can enjoy walks, runs, quiet time, monkey sightings or just discover the park.
In contrast to the quiet neighborhood, the city center and main business district is a 10 minute walk away. Here, you will get what you need from banks, ATM services, forex bureaus, supermarkets and other shopping areas, chemists, travel agents and airlines, bus and train services, restaurants, bars, cafés, offices, 3D movie theater, schools e.t.c. Every Saturday the Maasai Market ( for Kenyan curios and artifacts) comes to the city center. Here you will have a plenty of options for gifts and souvenirs as well as traditional clothing.
The heavily guarded State House (the President's residence) is across the road which makes this a well secured area. You couldn't have asked to be in a better neighborhood.
Guest access
You will have access to the living and dinning areas, kitchen and bathroom. These are shared areas within the house. The only area not accessible to you will be my bedroom.
Interaction with guests
I am available to offer advice and recommendations on things to do and see in Nairobi and generally Kenya.
The neighborhood
Areas around: The Nairobi Arboretum park, National Museums of Kenya, City Center, Westlands by night and day, State House area, Nairobi city view point and Uhuru national park.
If you will not have a chance to go on safari, visit the Nairobi National Park for the game drive. It is a 20 minute drive away and you will see lions, elephants, rhinos, zebra, antelopes, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, hyenas, warthogs, many more animals and more monkeys.
Getting around
It takes 35 minutes from the airport except during heavy traffic hours. Major shopping malls and hospitals are a short drive away. I can arrange a taxi pick-up for you from the airport at $32 and you can use your local mobile to call a taxi whenever you require.
Public transport is available in the city center, a 10 minute walk away. However, you may call a taxi (contacts which I can provide) or a motor-taxi.
Free ample parking is available.
Other things to note
I have a Mini Pinscher pet dog who lives with me. He is well behaved, calm and makes for good company if you wish.
Free cleaning services are available if you stay 7 days and longer or at a moderate extra charge if less than this period.
Cancel up to 5 days before your trip and get a full refund, including service fees.

-The forks that hold the portafilter in place were too long, and I was unable to get the portafilter to rest directly below the funnel. Baratza sent me the correct shorter forks, and I got them in just a couple of days.
-The fit is really tight, and the stock case bulges out the slightest bit because of the spring loaded bearings at the bottom of the portaholder. I went ahead and dremeled two small indentations in my stock case to accommodate the bearings, and now my fit is perfect. This step is not required.
-Baratza does offer a full retrofit kit, including a new case that comes with the modifications I made. You can view it here https://www.baratza.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=6405

Price Quality Value
One thing to note: it is a tight fit installing. At first I was afraid it would not work, that my chamber was too small to accommodate it. But, persevere. It is exactly the right size and designed to look like it belonged there from the beginning. Nice going, Baratza. Seattle Coffee Gear had the lowest price around, and actually seemed to be the only place where it was available except through Baratza at the time I looked. Thanks! (Posted on 1/11/2014)

Patrons carrying guns in Ohio bars: Whatever happened to ...?
Published: Sunday, May 27, 2012, 12:00 PM Updated: Sunday, May 27, 2012, 5:30 PM
Ohioans have been allowed to pack heat inside bars for more than six months now, thanks to a law passed last year. :congrats:
- "I haven't heard anything about it since then," said Jay McDonald, president of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, which opposed the law.
- Opponents of the law said bars would take on a "wild West" atmosphere if patrons could arm themselves.
- From Oct. 1, 2011 -- the day after the law took effect -- until April 1, 2012, there were four felony assaults involving a gun in Cleveland at a bar or liquor establishment, according to the department's crime analysis unit.
- There were six such incidents over that same time span a year earlier when the law was not in effect.

I just read a fantastic article by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick about how deceptive and misleading media reporting on statin drug trials can be. Dr. Kendrick uses the Heart Protection Study (HPS) as an example. From the press release for the study: "In this trial, 10 thousand people were on a statin. If now, an extra 10 million high-risk people worldwide go onto statin treatment, this would save about 50,000 lives each year—that's a thousand a… Read More

Alzheimer's, like many other inflammatory diseases, is a disease of civilization. We're going to talk more about what that means. I think when you look at the history of diet policy and ideas around what's healthy and what's not, both for weight loss and metabolic problems and other conditions, early on, there was a really big focus on calories. All of the diets were focused on reducing your calorie intake. Then the focus really switched… Read More

7 Things Everyone Should Know About Low-Carb Diets
Last week, my staff nutritionist Laura Schoenfeld wrote a guest post for my blog called "Is a Low-Carb Diet Ruining Your Health". Perhaps not surprisingly, it has caused quite a stir. For reasons I don't fully understand, some people identify so strongly with how many carbohydrates they eat that they take offense when a suggestion is made that low-carb diets may not be appropriate for everyone, in all circumstances. In these circles low-carb diets have… Read More

Over the past couple months, I've delved into the topic of sweeteners, hoping to shed some light on what can often be a controversial issue in the Paleo and ancestral health community.

For the final post in this series, I want to give you all… Read More
Is All Sugar Created Equal?
You've probably heard it countless times, especially in low-carb circles: sugar is sugar is sugar. This is true in principle – the glucose, fructose, and sucrose found in table sugar or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are the same molecules as the glucose, fructose, and sucrose in honey, fruit, and starchy vegetables. But when it comes to the way your body uses these sugars, these foods are hardly comparable. In this article, I'll show you… Read More

LOS ANGELES – Actor Jim Carrey, who spoke out against gun violence after a series of deadly shootings in the U.S. in 2012, apologized to assault weapon rights activists Monday. Carrey had tweeted a series of insults at gun owners and gun-rights supporters, mainly after a shooting massacre at a Newtown, Connecticut, school killed 26 people — including 20 children — last December.
"Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting," Carrey tweeted in February.
And in March, he tweeted: "154 BULLETS FIRED AT SANDY HOOK! 2 handguns n a bushmaster rifle on Lanza. 1600 rnds of amo at his house. WE MUST STOP THIS!!"
On Monday, Carrey took a different tack on the issue.
"Asslt rifle fans, I do not agree wth u, nor do I fear u but I do love u and I'm sorry tht in my outrage I called you names. That was wrong," the Canadian-born actor said on Twitter.

Other highly welcome features of the Playon!HD Mini include UPnP Media Server and NAS functionality. Though it's not yet implemented as on the larger A.C. Ryan player and Eminent's EM7075, btpd BitTorrent downloading is also promised in a future firmware update. But the goodness doesn't end here, as the Playon!HD Mini also supports more file formats than most other players in its price class - including RMVB video playback, a feature that only the Asus O!Play and expensive Popcorn Hour 110 share.
The Playon!HD Mini supports JPEG HD, BMP, GIF, TIFF and PNG picture formats, while audio support covers MP2/3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AAC, COOK and FLAC, Dolby Digital or DTS passthrough and stereo down-mixing - even DTS-HD is supported, which is yet another rarity. Video support includes HD MPEG 2/4, H.264, WMV9/VC-1 and RM/RMVB (up to 720p) codecs in AVI, ASF, DAT, FLV, MKV, M2TS, MP4, MOV, M4V, RM, TS, TP, TRP, VOB/ISO/IFO, WMV, and xVid/DivX containers with SRT, SMI, SSA, IDX and SUB subtitles and full menu video previews. There's even support for 1080p 24. That's pretty much as comprehensive as anyone could want, and we can't think of a single important format or file system that's left out. As with its larger brother, playback of all these various formats was very reliable.
Aside from slightly slow menu operation and a few minor glitches with some of its internet features, the Playon!HD Mini is a pleasure to use. Thanks to its passive cooling it is silent in operation without getting more than warm to the touch, which is impressive considering the Realtek chip that powers it is known for getting rather hot. Best of all, with an MSRP of £87, the Mini is A.C. Ryan's most affordable media player yet and offers truly excellent value compared to the competition. After all, this is already less than the retail price of other media players offering similar features. A.C. Ryan also backs it with a better-than-average two-year warranty, though in this regard Eminent's five year one takes the biscuit.
Successfully addressing most of the reservations we expressed about A.C. Ryan's original Playon!HD, the company's new Playon!HD Mini is the best and most versatile media player we've yet seen for its bargain price. If you're willing to forgive an interface that isn't quite as smooth as the best of the competition and a slightly awkward remote, this is definitely the media player to go for as its format and feature support are simply unrivalled.
Now all is required is the capability to plug in a freeview dongle for PVR functionality,
I don't really understand why media player manufacturers don't do this - it would allow to dispose of an extra box!
How is the picture quality?
Does this come with an internal Hard dive? Or are you supposed to hook one up via USB? thanks.
Great review :) The original unit passed me by so I'm happy to see this.
A bit OT, but what would you recommend for wirelessly streaming only music from my PC to my HiFi in the same room? Would prefer to continue to use Winamp on the PC to control my playlists and don't want to rely on the existing wireless newtork as signal strength is weak. Something very simple and preferably cheap would be ideal. Just using a 3.5mm to phono lead isn't an option unfortunately.
No internal HDD, the full sized Playon does though, I believe.
I think it'd work better the other way round w/r to PVR functionality - Virgin, Sky etc integrate media streaming into their PVR boxes.
I agree with Misha - add PVR and iplayer and then you have the perfect box.
go for a squeezebox for streaming music. can' do better than that. you could probably pick up a squeezebox v3 on ebay for relatively cheap. i got mine a year ago for a hundred quid. excellent device
As timple says - you really want iplayer as well. This is why I hunted in the loft for an old Shuttle unit, clean installed XP SP3, added a quiet fan and wireless keyboard/track pad (£29 for both) and was sorted with a cheap media PC that will stream, play from cards/USB and do iplayer etc. VGA connection from integrated graphics to TV.
You get so much more flexibility from a PC, even an all in one unit like the Acer Aspire Revo R3610 - I was going to buy one of these till I found the Shuttle fulfilled our modest needs.
Not to mention that it is available for couch browsing ;)
"we can't think of a single important format or file system that's left out"
I know it's not terribly fashionable to like MS stuff, but the lack of .dvr-ms or .wtv support on these boxes kill them for me. These would be a secondary box for me in the kitchen, and in the kitchen I want to be able to watch tv that was recorded on the HTPC in the living room.
Windows Media center is almost Apple-like in the way it just works (for me at least) when it comes to recording tv. & of course it's an absolute doddle to set up, which is more than can be said for yet another failed attempt of mine to set up MediaPortal over the weekend - this time it was an SQL problem that put paid to that little foray away from WMC.
Getting back on topic, without pvr functionality, or support for .wtv or dvr-ms, then these boxes have limited appeal for me. I know I could use DVRMS Tool box to auto convert to something this can support, but that means having two lots of recordings, one for the lounge and one for the kitchen. Not great for the WAF....
Having said all that, the price is tempting!
QED's Live uPlay Receiver is finally out and is £65 at audiovisualonline.co.uk
Looks like that is my ticket :)
@Alan Clinch:
Picture quality is pretty much as good as your source file, though obviously the player will scale material of resolutions lower than your monitor/TV.
As Wildkard said, it doesn't have an internal drive nor room for one. You can tell by its size. You can use any form of USB or networked storage.
Daniel's recommendation is pretty good :)
As for iPlayer functionality, we can but hope it will be added at some stage, though I wouldn't hold my breath.
A PC is always going to be more flexible and offer more features, but even without extras like the remote thrown in is bound to be more expensive - unless you dig up an old/preowned model like you did; always a good option to keep in mind.
And... your Shuttle is connected over - shudder - VGA? ;)
You like MS stuff?! Admittedly we kinda liked Windows 7...
Some of these boxes do support PVR. In fact, A.C.Ryan offers some, though none as far as I'm aware with HD support...
LaCies's LaCinema Black MAX includes a TV tuner for those that are after PVR functionality too. However it's a lot more expensive aswell.
So is this the best bang for buck media Player?
The fact that this unit doesn't come with Freeview is a plus point for me. I got rid of the telly a year ago. Now I don't have to pay for a TV licence and I like having that choice. I'm really annoyed at the way monitors and televisions are merging. I'd like a reasonably priced no-freeview monitor to plug my HDMI DVD player in to.
G Hell - i see where your going with that. Just be carefull you dont watch anything live on iplayer/itvplayer/tvcatchup etc, as that WOULD be breaking the law without a current TV licence. Stuff thats not live seems to be fair game with the usual caveats of personal home use etc, but i wouldnt like to fight any of these minor points in court...
from here:
"The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and DVD/VHS recorders.
You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV {snip}"
Dealbreaker: How well does it work, streaming from a computer with Windows 7?
Same question as nMeden. carnt get my hyundai HDR-350q to connect to w7 for love nor money. can connect to my vista laptop but only get public and user folders, which are on "C" drive. Will this stream from my w7 desktop and access all my shared folders which are spread over several drives ?
Similar question to nMeden & djzigy – What about streaming from a Mac?
I'm not looking for a lot, just a simple media player for playing .avi with subtitles, but one that really plays every .avi.
Before I had a LaCinema and it wouldn't play half of the .avi's or sometimes it wouldn't play the subtitles.
Which one would you recommend?
I have one and have issues with;
1) USB support - will not recognize some drives
2) the media manager does not work
3) it does not play all formats
but the main reason you should not buy one, it is still for sale on there site and they have stopped support for it. so when you try to engage with them to fix the issues, or see when it is fixed, they give you the finger

This powerful new edition provides developers with a comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving XML space. Serious users of XML will find topics on just about everything they need, from fundamental syntax rules, to details of DTD and XML Schema creation, to XSLT transformations, to APIs used for processing XML documents. Simply put, this is the only reference of its kind among XML books.Whether you're a Web designer using SVG to add vector graphics to web pages, or a C++ programmer using SOAP to serialize objects into a remote database, XML in a Nutshell thoroughly explains the basic rules that all XML documents -- and all XML document creators -- must adhere to, including:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The bird on the cover of XML in a Nutshell, Second Edition, is a peafowl, the largest bird in the Phasianinae family, which also includes pheasants and turkeys. People often incorrectly call peafowl peacocks. Peacocks are actually male peafowl; the females are called peahens. Two wild peafowl species exist today: the Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) and the Green peafowl of Southeast Asia (Pavo muticus), which may be endangered. These wild peafowl live in musters of 8 to 12 birds in dense forest near water. Though they do not fly very well, and do so only for short distances, they do manage to escape most predators and roost peacefully at night, high up in treetops.The peafowl's most famous characteristic, of course, is its beautiful fan of feathers, known as a "train." Each blue-green train feather has a dark spot on its tip that looks much like an eye. Peacocks develop especially brilliant plumage, an indicator of sexual maturity, by age three. A healthy peacock has a full and vibrant train each year during the spring mating season. During this period, peacocks strut their stuff-display their "breeding plumage," as it is called-to attract peahens. Scientists theorize that the peacock's performance plays upon the peahen's instinctive drives to find healthy mates in the hope of producing hardy offspring. Each summer after the mating season, peafowl shed their train feathers, which are often collected by humans as eye-catching souvenirs. Jeffrey Holcomb was the production editor and copyeditor for XML in a Nutshell, Second Edition. Jane Ellin and Sarah Sherman were the proofreaders. Matt Hutchinson, Tatiana Apandi Diaz, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Linley Dolby and Mary Brady provided production assistance. Judy Hoer wrote the index.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is an original illustration created by Susan Hart. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.Melanie Wang designed the interior layout, based on a series design by David Futato. This book was converted to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed.

XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition Review
By Jon Hardin
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition:
I am not a web designer, but rather a computer programmer. This book is tremendously helpful for someone like me, as it does not stop at the level of, "How can we use this in a website?". Rather, it extends far deeper that this, exploring the uses of XML as a means for storing database information, and as a way of manufacturing a portable file structure that, with the right parser, is just as versatile as Adobe's PDF format is for printed documents.That said, this book will not teach you HTML, and some of the deeper sections, such as the chapters on schemas, APIs, DOMs, and database parsing assume knowledge of at least basic object-oriented programming, in a language like C++ or Java.If you are familiar with at least simple XML, as explained in Oreilly's "Learning XML", though, the book will prove an indespensible reference for working with XML in whatever project you may be using it for, be it web design, database construction, or anything else that you can dream up.

The Nutshell series of books from O'Reilly have a special section of my desk established for them; no other set of books condenses so much information for reference. This book is no exception to this fact.Before I continue, please avoid buying an O'Reilly Nutshell book expecting it to teach you about the topic it is intended for. As far as I've worked with them, these books are not intended as a do-all be-all that other references want to be. The information introducing you to XML is sparse, so if you don't know anything about XML, get another book. I recommend XML: A Primer by Simon St. Laurent; it is an excellent learning tool, and though it doesn't go into all the detail the XML standard can go into (no book I've found can do such), it provides the user with understanding of XML.XML in a Nutshell is what I use when I've forgotten how to use a certain aspect of XML detail. As a reference and a second book on XML, nothing comes close

Movies at Home, for $20,000
A proposed service aims to bring movies to homes the same day they hit theaters, a milestone that Hollywood has long anticipated with a mixture of fear and fascination.
But there's a catch: At the prices currently being discussed by Prima Cinema Inc., the start-up that is touting the service, those movies will reach only world's the best-appointed living rooms.
Prima plans to charge customers a one-time fee of about $20,000 for a digital-delivery system and an additional $500 per film

"I really like Stein because he was one of the first TV chefs to do the whole 'we shouldn't be eating shit thing'. His French book was like the Book of Exodus it was so hard, full of intricate tripe recipes and the like, but this fish book is easier to understand.
Largely I'm on my own when I make Stein's devilled mackerel with mint and tomato salad, sometimes I cook it with my girlfriend but she prefers her mackerel barbecued. This dish contains a lot of spice – mustard, cayenne pepper, coriander, but I'm obsessed with paprika, it's my go-to ingredient because it gives you that lovely burn. It lends itself well to mackerel, and the caster sugar in this recipe caramelises with it. I always overdo fish – you read you're supposed to cook it 2 minutes each side but you think, 'Shut up, I can't do that.'
I caught these mackerel when I went out on the boat this morning. We fished with rods. They're coming into season, so they're on the small side at the moment but they really fatten up towards the end of summer. I go out fishing whenever I can, first thing in the morning, April through to November about once a month. We ate a bit of mackerel raw on the boat today, but let me assure you it tastes better with a bit of soy sauce and a little bit of mustard on it – we should have taken condiments. Sometimes I've been fishing with Japanese and they hoover it up the minute they catch it – you catch one, turn around and it's gone.
I learned to cook when my mother went back to work when I was 13. Me and my sister would cook typical children-type dinners, spaghetti bolognese and all the rest, but I really enjoyed doing it. When I thought about what career I'd like, cooking was my first choice because it was a more tangible choice than working in TV. In some ways it ticks some of the same boxes as live television – you can't get it wrong, you have a finite amount of time and you're helping people enjoy themselves.
When I set up our restaurant Fishy Fishy in Brighton, I had ideas about working in the kitchen, but when I went downstairs you just realise cooking for eight people round your house is nothing like cooking for 60 covers. It's like a war zone. I have no right to be there at all."
