The Osprey Brand Team, a group of ambassadors reporting from the field at consumer outdoor events across the country as well as reporting on adventures in their own neck of the woods, introduces new team member Joseph Bradbury. Joseph is a Salt Lake City resident, bike commuter, and frequent traveler. Joseph will be testing the Waypoint 85 pack from the new Osprey travel collection as well the bike commuting beauty, the "Flapjack." Joseph will soon embark for Ecuador but for now, he's been taking his Mutant 38 to big walls while racking up vert…
I recently had a friend, Maegan, come in town from New York. She is starting her graduate program at NYU in a couple weeks so she was eager to get into the mountains while she was in town; I, as always, was more than happy to oblige. I haven't climbed many sport routes in Little Cottonwood so I asked a friend of mine named Jim to accompany us.
We set out for Little Cottonwood Canyon, just outside of Salt Lake City, at eight in the morning. The air was still cool enough to chill us as Maegan and I sat quiet on my front porch drinking coffee. Jim pulled up and after brief introductions we headed for the crag. On the way, Jim was pointing at random peaks and slabs of rock just off the I-215 belt route; his excitement grew the closer we got to the mouth of the canyon. In the back seat Maegan peered up at the granite cliffs.
As we approached a narrow switchback on the canyon road, one I was previously familiar with, Jim asked us not to speak around "Silent Rock". Not being a very superstitious person I thought it was somewhat hokey but never the less I complied. Jim insisted that he heard it was bad luck to talk around the turn and when we were to be participating in an activity that consisted of us dangling a few dozen meters above the rocky ground, he'd take every advantage for safety he could. This both pleased and comforted Maegan who was getting nervous for her first climb in the back seat.
Soon after Silent Rock we pulled into a dirt packing lot, and gathered the gear. Jim put on his harness at the car, clicked a string of draws onto his belt and slung a rope over his shoulder. "Hey, that's pretty slick," he said. I liked that word, slick. "This?" I motioned to my pack, the Mutant 38, "It keeps all your stuff in one place."
We made our way to the base of the climb where Maegan and I scrambled up a couple 5.8's and a 5.10. On a high 5.8 Maegan stayed at the bolts for a while before coming down. I was half way up the wall when I noticed her stalling. I thought for a moment she panicked and wouldn't come down. I made my way up to the chains on my route, about fifteen feet to the side of hers. I saw Maegan standing on a large ledge, her back to the wall. "Everything okay?" I asked her. "Yeah, I'm great. I just wanted to stay up here for a bit. Everything looks different from up here." I turned and looked out with her for a minute before repelling down.
As we left the canyon our hands all matched, white cuticles and shredded fingertips from the unforgiving granite. We passed Silent Rock, Jim didn't ask but no one spoke. When we emerged from Little Cottonwood Canyon into the city, everything looked a little different.

The Biography of Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov was born in Ukraine, but his family moved to Brooklyn, New York in United States of America when he was just 10 years old. He studied in a Russian speaking Jewish school where he enrolled in the 5th standard, though he was supposed to study in the 7th standard. He studied in the school with his cousin, but he found it highly difficult to adjust there. Later he got admitted to a public school where he finally found his deserving success.
As a teenager, he was very active in sporting activities. He took part in many sports namely basketball, tennis, and he even joined the school bowling team. Then he registered in the Stern School of Business at New York University where he achieved two degrees. At first, he took up trading as his job, and he used to play poker with his friends just for fun. Then he started to play poker on a regular basis along with his day job. It is around this time that he took up poker as an easy way of income for paying off his bills. Gradually, he turned his interest into a flourishing career.
Eugene Katchalov started his career with participating in online poker tournaments and then by the year 2003, he announced himself to be a professional poker player. He entered the Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas on the insistence of a friend and stood 5th. He entered the World Poker Tour Main Event collaborating with the same friend and soon found exposure to the top level of the game. He earned 48 thousand dollars from the tournament which covered all his expenses.
He was completely engrossed in the game of poker and was not able to work in the shadow of a big company where he lacked independence. Thus he decided to open an independent trading firm where he will not be bound. For this purpose, he used poker as a tool for collecting the capital needed to start the firm. The firm was the gate way to independence for Eugene Katchalov, which will enable him to dedicate more time to the game of poker.
2007 was a golden year for this sensational poker maestro. He started off his campaign with the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Tour Classic where he achieved victory, and he followed this performance with victories in all the tournaments he took part in the Belliago in that season. He rounded off his year by winning the Full Tilt tournament in Vegas, which saw him win the 119 thousand dollars prize money. This money acted as the capital for Eugene Katachalov and his partner for opening the independent firm they dreamt of.
World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) was the next stop for this highly talented poker player, and he conquered this event too winning a bracelet as the prize. The poker career of Eugene Katchalov has some very important highlights. One of the most important events in his career came when he won the World Poker Tour (WPT) title along with nearly 2.5 million dollars of prize money defeating poker greats like Raymond Davis and David Ulliott. Then he competed in the High Roller event on the European Poker Tour (EPT) London where he was placed 3rd. He recently competed in the Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure High Roller Event and won it comprehensively.
Eugene Katchalov is a poker genius who has conquered the game with his intelligence and strategic mind. He was signed by pokerstars as a permanent member of their team. He is indeed a truly extraordinary poker champion.

Budget Android devices are gaining popularity as the 'high-end' specifications are finally starting to trickle down to phones under Rs.10,000. Samsung's latest Galaxy Y is one such example of an affordable, yet very much user friendly Android phone. It's designed for the young teenager on a budget, something his/her parents don't want to spend a lot on, but at the same time save the kid from being ridiculed by his peers.
Design and Build
The Galaxy Y is small and compact and with just a 3.0-inch screen, it's clearly designed for those with small hands. It's quite light at just 97.5g and rounded edges lend it a very sober look. Although it has been built mostly out of plastic, it does not feel very plasticky and the matt finish on the cover attracts fewer fingerprints. On the front, we just have a proximity sensor, but no front facing camera or an ambient light sensor.
A smart looking phone
The buttons, include a volume rocker and a power/sleep button and… that's it. The 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB port is placed at the top. It's a good setup with the buttons being easy to press and within reach of your fingers. None of the shortcut buttons are backlit, there's just a physical home button and two capacitive ones. The sensitivity is good, but at times some of the inputs failed to register. Overall, the design is pleasing; it's simple, yet functional. The build quality feels like it can handle accidental drops without shattering.
Samsung has bundled the latest Android 2.3.6 along with a stripped down version of Touchwiz UI. Thanks to the 830MHz ARM v6 chipset, the Galaxy Y is a peppy little phone. Swiping through homescreens and apps is quick and relatively fluid with very little to no lag.
A familiar looking interface
This being TouchWiz, you get the handy toggle switches in the notification bar and the colourful icons that go with it. My only issue with the screen is the low resolution and 240 x 320 is just too less. The edges of practically everything look a bit blurry and pixellated and there's quite bad colour banding noticeable on the homescreen as well as videos.
Samsung once again brings its A-game in the audio department. The music player is borrowed from their other phones like the Galaxy S and S II and features 5.1 channel audio enhancements. There are also equalizer presets to play around with, but honestly you won't need any, as the audio processor does a very good job. It sounds best when used with a good pair of in-earphones like the EP630s. Unlike their higher-end handsets though, the Galaxy Y doesn't play FLAC.
Excellent sound quality
The video player isn't as impressive as the music player, since Samsung have gone with the stock Android player depriving you of sound enhancements. The player supports the standard MP4 file format, but the video quality leaves a lot to be desired, mainly due to the poor screen.

The Galaxy Y is a quad-band phone, meaning you can use it on almost any GSM network in the world. It also supports 3G through HSDPA (up to 7.2Mbps). Unlike other phones in this price range, Samsung have bundled Wi-Fi 'n'. You also get Bluetooth 3.0 and 180 MB of internal storage. The stock browser does a decent job of rendering web pages, but it's not the best experience, owing to the low resolution screen.
Keyboard feels a bit cramped if you have chubby fingers
We also felt the on screen keyboard was a little cramped and if you have chubby fingers like mine, typing can be nightmare. The problem was a little less in landscape mode, but I still found myself hitting the wrong key time and again. Thankfully, there's Swype built-in, which comes to the rescue.
Misc. Apps
Some productivity apps
There aren't too many miscellaneous apps other than the stock ones that come with Gingerbread. You get QuickOffice, a voice recorder and a task manager. Samsung have also bundled their SocialHub app for Facebook and Twitter access.
The 2MP fixed-focus camera is not very good, I'm afraid and doesn't do well at all in indoor shots. It's a tiny bit better under natural light, but just that. The colours still appear a bit muted and it's not able to capture a great amount of detail.
Good camera interface but the sensor it self is quite poor
Having said that, you do get a ton of options through Samsung's custom interface, including panorama mode, which works well.
Sweep panorama
Video recording is quite bad as well, since you can only go up to QVGA resolution at 15fps. Overall, the camera is below average, so if this is an important factor to you, then look elsewhere.
Battery Life
Since we had the phone for a short time, we could only run some of our battery tests. Armed with a 1200mAh battery, the phone lasted close to 10hrs in our video drain test. This is with the brightness set to medium and the phone set to 2G mode. This is a very good number and we're not too surprised considering what the battery has to power.
The Galaxy Y goes for a street price of Rs.7,350, which puts it on the same lines as the Micromax A70 and the Spice Mi-350n. You might find it for a little lower in places like Delhi, however. If you want switchable back covers, then it'll cost you an additional Rs. 400. The A70 is a good phone, which we liked very much, but it's still stuck on Froyo and there's no Wi-Fi 'n', so that's out of the running. We are actually testing the Spice Mi-350n, right now and so far it feels like a much better buy compared to the Galaxy Y. My main gripe with this phone is the lack lustre screen, which just ruins the whole experience, if you're into watching videos or surfing the net. Overall, we feel it's a decent buy, if you have small hands and desperately want a touchscreen phone on the cheap side. I would strongly recommend you try it out at a store, before taking the plunge.

What could possibly push a father to have sex with his own kid? I honestly do not understand why the thought of sex and any blood relative should ever be found in the same thought flow! When a father choses to defile his own daughter, what do you think such a child should expect from other men? Child abuse is not just a physical act, the worst part is the emotional and psychological effect it has on its victims.
According to PM news, a 54-year old generator repairer has been sent to jail for allegedly sleeping with his 16-year old daughter and impregnating her in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
According to PM news, a 54-year old generator repairer has been sent to jail for allegedly sleeping with his 16-year old daughter and impregnating her in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
The man, Mr. Tajudeen Sanni, who hails from Oyo State, was charged to the Family Court, Kakawa, Lagos, for impregnating his daughter and subsequently sent to Ikoyi Prison as he could not perfect his bail condition on time.
The 16-year old girl (name withheld) is now in custody of the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation for adequate care.
The victim had accused her father of sleeping with her several times, resulting in her being pregnant.
Sanni was first detained at the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit where he allegedly confessed that he slept with his daughter four times but denied the pregnancy.
He stated that his daughter was already deflowered before he slept with her, saying that she could have gotten pregnant by other people who slept with her.
At the Family Court, presided over by Magistrate E.B. Dawodu, the accused was slammed with a two-count charge of having indecent carnal knowledge of his daughter and for sexually assaulting her.
Sanni pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum. The case was adjourned till 3 September, 2012.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
We don't know about you, dude, but we could use a drink. It's not just that we've come to the end finally of the 2007 Best of Phoenix . It's that our city is exhausted. We've all heard (and used) the clichés, but seriously, this place is a war zone. We know, we know. Someday we'll all look back and say, "Wow, we finally have a city! Look at those high-end condos, that luxury market downtown, the zippy public transportation."
We just wish that day was now, like we wish it wasn't so fucking hot here all the time. When we want to cry in our beer, we head straight to Sonora Brewhouse, which, in our humble opinion, is just the kind of place this town needs more of and hold the cookie cutter. We love the house-made brew-ha-has, like the Stinger Pale Ale, and the Trooper Indian Pale, but our favorite is the Light Rail Cream Ale. It's the perfect toast to the future of Phoenix. Cheers, and see you next year. Or at the bar.
We have a good friend whose two favorite things in the world are candy and booze. So when we wanted to try the best candy cocktails in town, naturally, we asked her.
"Twisted!" she shouted. "Well, no," we responded. "We don't think that's such an odd request. We just thought, in honor of our Sweet Life theme this year, that we'd "
"No, dude!" she interrupted. "Don't you get out? Twisted has the best candy cocktails in town!"
Oh. Turns out, our friend has been hanging out a lot in Scottsdale, at a spot called Twisted. And, of course, she's right. The place has the sweetest cocktails, from our particular favorite, a flight of frozen margaritas in far-out flavors like mango, tamarind, and jalapeño, to our friend's standard order, a blood orange Cosmo. The menu also includes Peaches and Cream, The Caramel Apple and the Florida Martini, which involves vodka, vanilla, lime and cream.
Our friend is such a candy purist, she'll only do the hard stuff: Jolly Ranchers, lollipops, the occasional Sour Patch Kid. She actually claims that she doesn't like chocolate, which is why, she explained, she hasn't tried Twisted's Chocolate Cherry Bomb. It sounds gross to her.
Now that, we say, is twisted.
Betty Crocker, get your booze on the German chocolate cake shot could be the sweetest thing to ever hit your lips and liver. This rich, syrupy drink is still something of a secret; many bartenders are lost if the recipe's not in their books. Luckily, most of those behind the bar at Palazzo on the club's weekly Friday goth night, Tranzylvania, know how to cook up this goodie and pour some sugar on us. For the rest, here's the 411: Frost the rim of a shot glass with sugar and lemon. Pour a half-ounce of Stoli vanilla vodka and a half-ounce of Frangelico hazelnut liqueur into the glass and stir together. Lick the sugar off the rim, shoot the booze, and quickly bite into a piece of lemon. It tastes exactly like German chocolate cake but will probably give you fewer cavities and more gusto in your game. But be warned: They are delicious and potentially addictive.
Before we stumble out for a tour of the galleries on Roosevelt Row, we like to stop in at the bar at Portland's for a fancy cocktail. Our favorite is a sweetie called the Thin Mint Tini just a simple blend of Ketel One, Rumpleminze Peppermint Schnapps, crème de cacao and a splash of cream. Is this why our friends had so much fun at Girl Scout camp?
Blue Wasabi has one of the most creative drink menus in town, and we're glad that we can now drink the martinis a little closer to home, with the opening of the Hilton Village location. (You folks who live in DC Ranch had all the luck, 'til now.)
We're particularly fond of a drink called the Mello Jello. This is not your frat party Jell-O shot. Oh, no, this drink is pure sophistication, a blend of Skyy Berry vodka, cranberry-flavored sweet and sour, and cranberry juice infused with dark cherry Jell-O. A Jell-O infusion? Leave it to Blue Wasabi. And if that sounds too grownup, leave it entirely and try the Milky Way or the Lemon Head instead.
Rappers Jay-Z and P. Diddy might have gotten in a little harsh dissing of Cristal on their latest albums, but believe us, there's no finer symbol of style and stardom than downing a bottle or two of the chic champagne, particularly in the utterly opulent environs of either location of the Valley's classiest strip club. You definitely gotta be living large to afford it, however; bottles start at $550. But at least you can kick it in the VIP area, where the sultry strippers dance a little bit closer than they do in the cheap seats. The gold-labeled bubbly's been the sign of status and the subject of hip-hop songs for more than a decade, and your success will shine much more brightly amidst the stylish décor of Christie's when clutching some Cris. It's just like in the Lil Scrappy jam "Money in the Bank" when Young Buck sang, "We keep a bankroll/Wallet full of credit cards/Cup full of Cristal/Box full of cigars."

Brute Force
Review by Apocalypse2
"The wait was worth it!"
I have been anticipating this game since I first heard about it, and over that period of time, I have allowed my hopes to get quite high. What I got in the final product far exceeded my expectations.
Be forewarned however, this game may not be for every one. This is not a run and gun shoot-em-up. To play this game effectively, strategy and mastery of every character is required. Those who try to get through the game thoughtlessly blasting all opposition will not find this game fun.
Sound and Music
The sound effects really add to the overall Brute Force experience. Each gun type has it's own set of distinct sounds. When firing, each gun has it's own unique report as well as reloading sound which adds to the realism. When zooming with a sniper rifle, you can even hear your characters breath. Great sound isn't limited to the guns however. When accessing a computer terminal, you will hear beeps and tones that are synchronized with flashes on the little screen. When you open a large metal door, the metal will squeak as it slides open. Depending on what type of ground you are walking on, your foot steps will make different noises. Bullets ricochet off of walls and structures with metallic clanks.
Though the environmental sound effects are great, some of the best sound comes from the enemies and your characters. When throwing grenades they will shout, and if you kill one of their partners they will comment, ''No, not JC!''. When you order your operatives, they do not move to silently comply, but chime in ''Will do!'' or things of that nature.
The music is great, because it does not overpower you, but rather dynamically adds to whatever situation you might find yourself in. When walking, music will be quietly drumming in the background, and upon engaging the enemy, the music will quickly get faster and louder. After fighting, the music will again fade, leaving you to enjoy the environment.
Visuals And Graphics
No stops were pulled in making this the most graphically beautiful game possible. As far as I know, every single surface in the game is bump mapped. The bark on every tree sticks out, you can see pits, lines and bumps in every single rock and boulder, etc. I was particularly amazed at one feature I saw. When the sky is bright, shifting clouds will effect the shadows on the ground! All lighting is done in real time. Weapons are extremely detailed, as are structures such as buildings and stationary objects like cars.
This is not a story driven game, but that's not to say there is a lack of story. Before each mission, you are given a brief synopsis, and mission objectives coincide with each story event. You get only what you need to know for each mission. I find a story that is not forced upon you in 15 minute cut scenes to be refreshing.
Gameplay and Multiplayer
Pure strategy bliss. Those who realize that this is a strategy game will love all of the options for completing each individual level this game offers. You gradually gain a squad of four operatives, each with a distinct set of skills. Scout, sniper , etc. Not only do you command a squad of four, but you can control each of them individually, and give orders as you see fit. Each operatives special abilities make every single one a functioning part of the squad. You can order you teammates on the fly to move to any position on the map that you see, to cover you, to hold ground, etc.
Quite possibly the best part of campaign is co-op. At any time, up to three players can join play by doing nothing more than plugging a controller in and pressing start.
Multiplayer deathmatch and co-op can be played on one console or over system link. Deathmatch can be played one on one or each player can command their own four person squad!
Replay Value
Three different difficulties and downloadable content as well as many ways to play each level make this game very replayable. Squad multiplayer is unlocked by finding DNA canisters throughout campaign, so players have a reason to keep playing.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

This article is part of a series on WordPress Optimization.
The first and easiest way to improve WordPress performance is plugins. Deactivate and delete any unnecessary plugins. Try selectively disabling plugins to measure server performance. Is one of your plugins significantly affecting your site's performance?
Then you can look at optimizing plugins. Are plugins coded inefficiently? Do they repeat unnecessary database queries? WordPress has its own caching system, so generally speaking, using functions like get_option(), update_option() and so on will be faster than writing SQL.
After plugins come theme optimization.
We have seen themes which put 3x extra load to the server. Turned out it caused 3x more database queries - which is bad in itself. Then we found out that some of the queries are unoptimized. Not good.
You can also use offloading to optimize your theme.
WordPress is fast, but it contains a lot of code that needs to be loaded each and every time a page is shown. (And some plugins like bbPress contain a lot of additional code.)
In some environments this load time can dominate performance times, adding several seconds per page. Op Code caching could help, but will not run in SuPhp shared hosting environments.

Since the end of August it has been illegal for fishermen to harvest the crabs and to store them in containers on land.
The closed season officially ended at midnight on 15 October. The ban lasts for six weeks and gives the crabs an opportunity to grow.
The ban is introduced every year to protect the creatures after they have cast off their shells.
The ban is enforced by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries in conjunction with the French government.
The creatures can have a span of 25 centimetres (10 inches) and a weight of 4.5 kilograms.

Cashing Out
So, it appears that the physical paper dollar, that crumpled, bacteria-ridden, piece of filth that resides in your pocket—along with all its grubby cousins, coins—will one day, perhaps one day soon (!), go the way of the wampum, the animal pelt, the tobacco leaf as a form of tradable currency. That's what David Wolman '96 would like you to believe, and after reading his fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable book The End of Money: Counterfeiters, Preachers, Techies, Dreamers—and the Coming Cashless Society (Da Capo Press, 2012), I'm right there with him. Good riddance to the greenback, I say.
All I needed to know to come to this conclusion can be found in one sentence on page 28: "Traces of the bacteria staphylococcus have been detected on 94 percent of all U.S. dollar bills." Never mind that, on the very next page, a friend of Wolman's at the Centers for Disease Control essentially says that for people to become sick from dollar bills, they would need to be "sucking on banknotes or inserting them in their noses" to even put them at risk of becoming sick, to which I say, close enough. And indeed, Wolman joins me in being disgusted by food handlers who take a sweat-stained dollar from someone and then use the same contaminated fingers to drop a lemon into someone else's drink. Gross, right?
Wolman's case for the end of money goes far beyond the ick factor, though. As he points out, there are all kinds of reasons to get rid of cash. It's the currency of crime, for one (think: robbery, counterfeiting, and drug dealing); it's insanely expensive—and we're not just talking about what it costs to actually make the currency but the cost of inefficiency associated with cash and cash transactions (or non-transactions); and it's dangerous for reasons we don't often think about (eco-costs, for example).
Throughout the book, Wolman finds fascinating characters to shed light on the inadequacies and toxicity of cash, and he spends just as much time talking about what will (and should) replace cash in the coming years.
Wolman is a contributing editor at Wired magazine, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to find him spending a fair amount of time addressing the number of digital alternatives—and their inventors, champions, and pioneers—to cash transactions. (Some seem a little screwy to me, but others induce that familiar feeling of "of course," followed by "why didn't I think of that?")
The most fun, though, might be the vicarious thrill of tagging along on Wolman's Plimpton-esque journey of going cashless, himself, for a year. I won't spoil anything, but there are some humorous moments where the rule of the given realm is still cash money.
I should acknowledge that David Wolman is a friend of mine. We've published his writing in this magazine, and I've been an avid reader and champion of not only his magazine journalism but also his previous books (A Left-Hand Turn around the World and Righting the Mother Tongue). Yet all these connections aside, The End of Money is just the type of book that curious readers, like me, would naturally gravitate toward. And I wasn't disappointed.
You won't be, either.
Fans of Eudora Welty, who died in 2001, will joyfully immerse themselves in yet another aspect of the much-loved and complex author, and lovers of gardens will discover a kindred spirit (or three) within One Writer's Garden: Eudora Welty's Home Place (University Press of Mississippi, 2011), by Susan Haltom and Jane Roy Brown '75.
Playing off the title of another Welty favorite—One Writer's Beginnings, her 1984 memoir in which she chronicled her life along with some instruction on how to write—Haltom and Brown have delivered an equally evocative narrative of a family garden, a fading Southern culture, and a span of time and history from the 1920s to postwar America.
For those who know Welty's work, 1119 Pinehurst Street in Jackson, Mississippi, is as familiar an address as one's childhood home. It was from here, after all, that she wrote so many of the stories that have earned a lasting place among modern short stories. But this beautiful book unearths a different and deeply rich glance into the Welty home that many have not seen before.
Haltom first became engaged in the project as a local gardener in Jackson, when she approached the aging Welty with an interest in revitalizing the family garden. The Welty home and surrounding gardens had been a celebrated centerpiece at the hands of a younger Eudora and her mother, Chestina, who had designed the original garden in 1925. Tended with care by Eudora for decades after that, it had fallen into disarray in her later years. With Haltom's help, she began to re-imagine the once vibrant sanctuary, recalling the flowers and plants that had flourished under her mother's hands.
Private papers released a few years after Welty died in 2001 affirmed that the garden had indeed offered both solace and inspiration for her. Haltom and Brown have included several writings that were previously unpublished, including literary passages and excerpts from her private correspondence. They highlight not only the connections to Welty and her writing, but also to the time period in which she lived. Divided into four parts, the book covers the gardening seasons and also illuminates four decades of radically evolving Southern culture—from the 1920s to the postwar 1950s. Through Haltom and Brown's writing, we see the role of garden clubs and yardmen as social norms, and the way gardens were upheld as the ideal antidote to all that could possibly fail one—the healing quality of combining work and introspection. The writing is colorfully interspersed with handwritten notes, garden maps, local advertisements, and plenty of photos—both historical and contemporary. Appendices tucked into the back include wonderfully cataloged information, such as planting lists over the decades, a breakdown of roses and annuals, a partial list of plant names that occur in Welty's works, and even a discussion guide for book club goers.
Those familiar with Welty's writing will remember how she often included images of Southern flora in her writing—"The Worn Path," and "Flower for Marjorie" are but a few—and the authors of this book help draw those connections, giving one a better understanding of the role that flowers and gardens play in her works. One passage reads as follows:
References to flowers and gardens colored her fiction and correspondence. Their consistent presence in her writing reveals that the flower garden lay at the heart of her inner world, sustaining her creativity and stirring her imagination.
Complementing the authors' well-tended prose is a rich collection of full-page images by noted landscape photographer Langdon Clay, who captured the revitalized garden at all its current seasonal highpoints.
This is truly a book to be relished over time and enjoyed for many years to come. The pages are silky smooth; even the type is carefully laid out. The heft of the book itself encourages long leisurely reading by a sunlit window.
—Blair Kloman, MA English '94

Ignoring GOP opposition, NBC's Reid repeated Republican claim of a "do-nothing" Dem Congress
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
On the June 29 edition of MSNBC Live, NBC News congressional correspondent Chip Reid asserted that after the failure of a June 28 cloture motion on the Senate immigration bill, "[t]he Democratic Congress is a big loser because, more and more, Republicans are accusing them of being a do-nothing Congress." However, in uncritically reporting Republicans' description of the Democratic majority as "do-nothing," Reid ignored the dominant role Senate Republicans played in killing the immigration bill. He also ignored what Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-MS) (who voted for the cloture motion) has described as the party's "strategy of being obstructionist."
A majority of Democrats voted for cloture (33-14) on the immigration bill -- which would have ended debate and permitted a vote on the bill itself -- while a majority of Republicans voted against (12-37), thereby blocking the bill. (Independent Sens. Joseph I. Lieberman (CT) and Bernie Sanders (VT) voted yea and nay, respectively.) In a June 29 article, Washington Post staff writer Jonathan Weisman described the failed cloture vote as "a major blow to Bush, dealt largely by members of his own party." Weisman further reported that Lott warned Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) that Republican enemies of the bill "were becoming the uncompromising faces of the Republican Party, a prospect that could set it back for years as the Latino vote grows in power."
Several recent news reports have highlighted a broader pattern of obstruction on the part of Senate Republicans. An April 18 Roll Call article quoted Lott saying, "The strategy of being obstructionist can work or fail ... For [former Senate Democratic Leader Tom] Daschle (S.D.), it failed. For [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid [D-NV], it succeeded, and so far it's working for us." As blogger Steve Benen noted, Roll Call reported on June 26 that Senate "Republicans have played their part to the hilt, objecting to just about every major piece of legislation that Reid has tried to bring up."
From the June 29 edition of MSNBC Live:
CONTESSA BREWER (anchor): Do -- is it the common-sense wisdom there on Capitol Hill that the president lost out most of all?
REID: Probably politically, but I tell you, the list of losers is about as long as my arm. Let's start with all Americans because the border is broken, and this bill wasn't perfect, but it did a lot to -- to heal the border, to tighten the border, and that's not going to be done, and it's expected that illegal immigrants are going to continue to pour across that border. Secondly, all the businesses that said they so desperately needed those guest workers are big losers here, and the economy could be a loser, too. The 12 million illegal immigrants who will continue to live in the shadows, and if they're abused by employers, they can do nothing about it -- they're big losers here. The Democratic Congress is a big loser because, more and more, Republicans are accusing them of being a do-nothing Congress, and they sure would like to have had something that they could say, "Hey, look what we accomplished." But I think you're right -- most people point the finger at the president when they say, "Who was the biggest loser here?" because he put so many eggs in this basket. He had two cabinet secretaries practically live up here in recent months trying to get this thing through. He put a lot of prestige on the line and has nothing but failure to show for it, Contessa.

Manly have had a tough start to the year. Backing up from a grand final win is always difficult. Due to playing for longer than the other teams, in the toughest games of the year, the teams who play the decider have a diminished preparation time for the following season. The premiers are then asked to travel to the other side of the world to play in the World Club Challenge on the eve of the new NRL season.
Flying time and jet-lag further impede preparations and ensure they begin the new season under-prepared and tired. Manly played the Warriors in round one this year which meant they were immediately back on a plane to New Zealand.
The Eagles had a victory in that match but they lost forward Glenn Stewart to injury for six weeks. A number of Manly's other big-name players such as Brett Stewart, Jamie Lyon, Kieran Foran and Steve Matai have also missed games this year because of injury. These are all reasons why Manly aren't where they'd like to be right now, having lost four of their past five games. Oh yeah, one other thing that may be a factor - the premiers also lost their two-time premiership winning coach, Des Hasler, who was poached by tonight's opposition, the Bulldogs.
So can we put Manly's poor start down to a grand final hangover and injuries to key players or are they, in fact, missing their old coach? No team can play at its best when players of the calibre of the Stewart brothers and Lyon are missing. However, when I look closely at the Sea Eagles' performances of late I am seeing some defence that is very un-Manly like. In their recent losses Manly have conceded some soft tries, the likes of which were very rarely scored against the premiers last year. Let's take a look at some examples.
Picture one is from the Eagles' loss to St George Illawarra in round four. Dragons hooker Mitch Rein ran from dummy-half and short-passed to front-rower Michael Weyman. It is hard to believe that Weyman carried the ball between Matt Ballin and Jason King and hardly had a hand laid on him. Weyman then stepped past fullback Brett Stewart and scored a miraculous try. The only explanation for this is that Jason King, at the last second, assumed Weyman was a decoy runner and wouldn't get the ball. This was a big mistake.
Picture two is from round five when Parramatta had their only win of the season, beating the premiers. Parramatta hooker Matt Keating picked up the ball at dummy-half with the intention of passing to Ben Roberts, who had the Eels' No.1 strike weapon Jarryd Hayne on his outside. However, the Manly defenders, including Darcy Lussick who was at marker, were so intent on tackling Roberts, they forgot about Keating. Keating dummied to pass and ran himself along the line of the arrow to score the easiest of tries.
Picture three is from Manly's last-start loss to the Gold Coast where debutant Aiden Sezer scored a soft try for the Titans and so too did Jamal Idris. In the picture, Scott Prince is running across-field and dummying to pass the ball to Greg Bird. Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans assumed Prince would pass to Bird and started to head in-field to tackle the Titans back-rower. Another mistake. This allowed Prince to get on the outside of Cherry-Evans. Prince then ran along the line of the arrow and drew in Lyon, creating an over-lap. Prince then threw a short pass to Idris who ran into a gaping hole, between Lyon and his winger, before scoring under the posts.
In all of these examples the Manly defenders committed the most basic of defensive errors by assuming they knew what the ball carrier was going to do next. The most dangerous attacker is the man with the ball, with the second most dangerous attacker being the ball carrier's closest support runner. These players must be defended first and foremost. Any thought of moving to tackle other attackers must be resisted until the defenders are certain the ball has been passed. In picture one, Ballin had Rein covered. King meanwhile had no reason to be concerned with any other attacker than Weyman, who was Rein's closest support player. In picture two, Keating is the most dangerous man on the field as he has the ball. Lussick had to stay on Keating until he was sure the ball had been passed. While in picture three, Cherry-Evans had to stick with ball-carrier Prince by following him across the field. Had Prince passed the ball to Bird, Cherry-Evans' teammates on his inside would have made the tackle.
There are certainly plenty of reasons why Manly haven't played their best footy so far this season. Their pre-season was disrupted and injuries have played a part. However, as the big names return, the Eagles' defence will need to improve accordingly. Manly's new coach, Geoff Toovey, would have been taught by Hasler that the big games are won by defence. Tonight will be no different.

Hence alot of what I learned about Theory of Computation comes from Daniel Cohens - Introduction to Computer Theory instead of the prescribed Sipser. If I can't find material presented in English I drop the subject.

text: Less is more in the case of Japanese brand Bounty Hunter. In it's latest release, implementing the use of a monochromatic color scheme allows the focus to shift on the brilliant design aspects instead of color usage. Keeping the brand's darker references in intact they manage to keep it playful at the same time. Celebrating 13 years in the street wear game, a collaboration piece with Magical Design, known for their top of the line accessories, and Bounty Hunter charm for those fancy cellphone coming in a black/white or reverse colorway cap it all off. These are now available and going fast at Cliff Edge.

Cannes Nice Walking Tour Excursion Reviews
Loved the Nice tour, and still had time to lay on the beach at Cannes when we got back! It was a win-win! Great tour guide!
We did the Canne and Nice tour with the Little train. The landscape and area is breathtaking. Our tour guide was very unorganized and appeared unprepared. She walked us to a hotel where we were to be allowed to use the restroom and they turned us away making us go across the major highway to the beach area down the horrid flight of stairs into a pay to pea restroom which was not too clean. The little train ride was nice taking us up into the mountains. Our time in Nice was so short that we barely got off the bus until our guide was rounding everyone up to again....hike many blocks to get to the bus. Another disabled person and I told her we could not walk that far...this was a tour 1 excursion, so we had to wait more than 45 minutes for the bus to come back around and pick us up where they let us off in Nice. I would NOT advise this tour as a good tour.
Pretty typical city. Took train to Nice and did our own thing. Train takes 35 min. from the station dry close to the port.

int sum_function()
char std_array[20];
int total;
int z;
int sum;
for (z=0; z<20;Z++){
printf("The sum of thes numbers is %i\n",sum);
return 0;
this works fine for 20 numbers or 30 or whatso, but I want to create an array of indefinite size but it has a termination condition, so when you type in a character it will calculate the sum of the integers that has been entered. The problem is I dont know how and where to put the termination condition.
I tried having something like:
for(z=0;sizeof(std_array) I dont know if this is right or wrong but without a termination condition it will continue to take in either integers or characters.
Any ideas would be most helpful

Rob Gilley
As the sting of his recent SURFER firing begins to fade, Rob Gilley now turns his blog attention towards memories and stories garnered from his long lackluster career.
Ever wonder where the word "softcock" went?
Or "wanker?"
Or "seppo," for that matter?
You don't really hear those terms much anymore, and I've got a theory why: The Malloys killed them. Snuffed them out. Speared those words with a trident and ate them for breakfast.
If you know your history, you'll know that a prominent Australian surfer once very publicly called out American surfers as "a bunch of softcocks" for not charging harder in big surf, and another referred to our competitive surfers as "seppo wankers."
Subsequently, Tom Curren cemented three world titles, Brad Gerlach and Mike Parsons charged bigger surf than anyone, and Richard Schmidt went completely medieval on the North Shore.
Then a kid from Florida named Kelly Slater joined the Tour.
But thanks in large part to an Australian surf photographer, anti-American sentiment and derisive terminology remained alive. Flag waving and unrequited, in-your-face jingoistic trash-talk still existed. Aussie pundits predicted that Shane Herring, Mick Campbell, and Danny Wills would soon crush the American wankers.
Then a side story developed: The Malloys hit the road.
Sponsored by an American branch of an Australia-founded company, the Malloys began to haunt the North Shore in winter and travel the world for the balance of the year.
Some of these trips included visits to Australia, and sessions surfing with Australians on the North Shore. Word started to get out: these seppos were definitely not softcocks.
In fact these seppos were f–king nuts, mate.
Equipped with traditional American West values, the Malloys would come to your town, make friends, respectfully rip the shit out of your surf, were polite, chivalrous, and non-condescending with women ("Howdy, M'am"), and could hold their liquor. They absorbed and basked in local culture, never backed down from a fight, never bragged, smiled a lot, and always stayed humble.
And on the poker table known as the North Shore, the Malloys said, "I'll see your Waimea and raise you one Outer Reef."
Strangely, at home, the Malloy phenomenon was initially met by some petty jealousy, behind-the-back grumbling, and bizarre physical challenges, but over time, the critics, one by one, realized that the Malloy act was, well…not an act. They were the real deal. They ripped and they were good guys and they were thankful and happy and unapologetic about being "photo pros."
In my view, this is just about the time when it became too much for the psyche of the good ol' Aussie bloke. The Malloys were blue collar, change-the-tire-with-you, risk-their-life-to-save-yours kind of mates, and that's just too appealing to a beer-swilling, tall-Poppy-hating country.
Softcocks, wankers, and seppos got tossed into the bin.
So the next time you see a Malloy brother, go up to him, shake his hand, and thank him for representing American surfers in such a positive, hard-charging way.
Especially if you're a softcock.

Class Price: FREE
Why is the class free? It's my gift to NYC this summer.
Come and experience how this unique meditation can help you purify your body/mind and unleash the creative power within you.
* Increase self-awareness
* Stronger emotional intelligence
* Greater mental clarity, focus and inspiration.
Bodhi Meditation
Energize your body
Strenthen your mind
Bodhi Meditation is a form of energy healing.
Bodhi Meditation is unique in the following ways
1). It channels universal energy rather than working with what's within one person. It transcends the genetic and physical limits of just one being by relying and drawing energy from the entire universe.
2). The entire human body is the receiver of this energy. The energy's effects on the body do not rely on certain meridian paths or pressure points of the body, which are the common requirements for many types of the Qi Gong practices.
Students will experience two forms of Bodhi Meditation.
* Seated
* Movement
Your class instructor is Nan Ni Gilbert. Nan is a NYS licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. Nan is also one of the most advanced Bodhi Meditation energy healer in North Amerrica.
The class time is short so feel free to ask Nan personal health question after the class.
NYC class schedule:
Tuesday 7:00-8:30pm (Every Tuesday thru September 27, 2013)
Friday 7:00-8:30pm (Every Friday thru September 27, 2013)
Please arrive early for class intro/setup.
Do you have to sit on the floor? I'm recovering from foot surgery. Thank u.

About the Book
OFFICE PLANTS. In the winter months, returning home from the university studios, my eyes were opened up by things that had always been there. In office spaces, lit up at night, devoid of workers, other shapes and forms began to emerge through a different kind of window display. Plants repeatedly appeared as if in desk top or foyer miniature winter garden settings. Through opaqued, clear and dirt splattered glass frontages, sometimes as if returned to the mist of the forest or jungle, lit by artificial and natural sources, these plants began to return a gaze. I kind of developed a sort of office fetish, minus the people, as I looked forward to the next 'encounter'.
This photo book, from an ongoing related photo and video series made in London, explores these organisms, their everyday yet passed by beauty. Examining their connected whimsical life-force and the atmospheres of the corporate habitats they dwell in.
This is my first solo book project, in previous works, people are often the performative focus, here I wanted the city plants to be the stars. Ever greens in eternal city light.
Please note: an updated edition of this book has now been completed, from an earlier test version that previewed here, and is now available (March 2013).

Published: August 1, 2010 at 7:38 PMThere is something about the Chicago area and Disney World. I saw a map a couple of years ago showing DVC members and there were a TON in Illinois.
Then again, maybe you need the extra cash to pay for the very high tuition at NU.
Also, I always saw WDW as a good place to get some experience in your field since its a pretty respected company. I am not sure what your wife does for a living, but I know she has her own site about violins which make me assume that she is a serious instrument player. She probaly enjoyed her Disney experience. I tried to do that with my Bio degree.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Morning Talk
by Paul on 04/02/08 at 01:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
from ESPN,
The playoffs are just around the corner and we're getting ready. During the last week of the regular season (well, at least Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m.-noon ET), ESPN.com NHL writer Scott Burnside and NHL editor Joy Russo will preview and review….
Burnside (11:20 a.m.) No kidding. Can you imagine a Rangers-Devils series? Both teams play it pretty close to the vest, and with Henrik Lundqvist and Brodeur going toe to toe, well, let's just say I hope they sell pillows with the tickets in both rinks.
Russo (11:17 a.m.): Zzzzzzzzzzzzz ... dump ... trap ... chase ... shut down ... I AM AWAKE NOW!
Burnside (11:16 a.m.): If you watched any of the Devils-Islanders game last night—and if you did you no doubt had a good night's sleep—you can see why the Devils look exactly like they have for most of a decade.
read on for more chat which will end at noon today…

James McCosh (April 1 1811–November 16 1894) was a prominent philosopher of the Scottish School of Common Sense.
McCosh was born of a Covenanting family in Ayrshire, and studied at the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, obtaining his M.A. at the latter, at the suggestion of Sir William Hamilton, for an essay on stoicism. He became a minister of the Established Church of Scotland in 1834, serving as pastor first at Arbroath and then at Brechin. He sided with the Free Church of Scotland (1843-1900) in the Disruption of 1843, becoming minister at Brechin's new East Free Church. In 1850 or 1851 he was appointed Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at Queen's College, Belfast (now Queen's University Belfast).
In 1868 he travelled to the United States to become president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). He resigned the presidency in 1888, but continued to teach philosophy until his death and was involved in the development of the psychology department. McCosh Hall (home of the English department) and a cross-campus walkway are named in his honor. The campus infirmary is named after his wife, Isabella McCosh. A school on the South Side of Chicago was named after him, but has since been renamed the Emmett Louis Till Math & Science Academy.[1]
Philosophical workEdit
McCosh's position was mainly in the tradition of Thomas Reid and other Scottish common-sense philosophers. He denied that our beliefs about the nature of the external world rest on causal or other inferences from perceptual ideas, but held that they are the direct accompaniments of sensation, and thus not open to question. He also argued for the a priori nature of fundamental principles such as those of causality and morality. Our judgements and other cognitions are regulated by such principles, though that is not to say that everyone is aware of them; they can be reached through reflection on our experience, when they are recognised as self-evidently necessary. In his moral theory, especially, McCosh differed from many of his contemporaries in being relatively uninfluenced by Kant.
McCosh's most original work concerned the attempt to reconcile evolution and Christian beliefs. He argued that evolution, far from being inconsistent with belief in divine design, glorifies the divine designer (see for example his Christianity and Positivism). This aspect of his work found popularity among evangelical clergy, who found his arguments useful in their attempts to cope with scientific philosophy.
Main worksEdit
- Method of Divine Government, Physical and Moral (Edinburgh, 1850, 5th ed., 1856, and frequently republished in New York)
- The Typical Forms and Special Ends in Creation (Edinburgh, 1855; new editions, New York, 1871–1880)
- Intuitions of the Mind inductively investigated (London and New York, 1860; 3rd rev. ed., 1872)
- An Examination of Mr J. S. Mill's Philosophy (London and New York, 1866; enlarged 1871, several editions)
- Philosophical Papers containing (1)"Examination of Sir W. Hamilton's Logic", (2)"Reply to Mr Mill's third edition", and (3) "Present State of Moral Philosophy in Britain".
- Religious Aspects of Evolution (New York, 1888, 2nd ed., 1890). For a complete list of his writings see Joseph Heatly Dulles, McCosh Bibliography (Princeton, 1895).

TOP chef Jack Ingram returned for one night only to the West Dorset restaurant where he started his career washing up.
He fell in love with cooking after starting, aged 14, at Le Petit Canard in Maiden Newton before moving to work at award winning restaurants in Australia.
But the 26-year-old returned from Melbourne to serve a special menu with his old mentor Gerry Craig while on holiday in the UK and Europe.
Jack said: "It went really well.
"I had my first ever job in the kitchen there 10 years ago.
"I grew up in the village. I've been gone a long time now although we have kept in touch.
"I started there at 14 and 15 doing the dish washing."
Jack joined Gerry and Cathy for the one-off service.
He cooked a special menu with Gerry and went to speak to diners afterwards.
The menu included cured salmon, pressed pork, a yogurt sorbet, beef fillet, spiced bread with pear, ginger ice cream, and caramel with hazelnut chocolate truffle.
Jack said: "It was strange to be back but a lot of fun. The kitchen was a lot smaller than I remember it but it was good to be back in it.
"It was good to work with Gerry and Cathy again who are both really professional."
He added: "It was really nice for Gerry and Cathy to let me have their kitchen and do what I wanted for one night.
Jack now works for the Vue de Monde restaurant group in Melbourne, Australia, and is currently based at its French-inspired Bistro Vue in the city centre.
The Vue de Monde is rated as among the top restaurants in Australia.
Jack has lived in Melbourne for four years after he first visited Australia when travelling.
He worked his way around before becoming sponsored for a position in South Australia and then gaining sponsorship to work in Melbourne.
Cured salmon, cucumber, fennel, dill (pickled cucumber, crisp fennel, avocado puree)
