"Zero Dark Thirty" and "Lincoln" — two political films that have drawn attention on Capital Hill — were nominated for multiple Academy Awards on Thursday morning.
Both films were nominated for Best Picture, the most prestigious prize of the night.
Mark Boal was nominated for his script for "Zero Dark Thirty"...
...[Kathryn] Bigelow, who won an Oscar for directing "The Hurt Locker," was not nominated for Best Director again this year while Jessica Chastain, who plays a CIA official in the movie, received a nomination for Best Actress.
Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who visited Capital Hill and the White House to promote "Lincoln," was nominated for Best Actor for his role as the nation's 16th president. Director Steven Spielberg was nominated for Best Director.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) brought Day-Lewis and Spielberg to Capital Hill during December's debt talks to show their film to the Senate. Reid is a huge fan of the movie and has seen it multiple times. President Obama also hosted a screening at the White House, and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took several members to see it.
Sally Field was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Mary Lincoln. Tommy Lee Jones was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Republican congressman Thaddeus Stevens.
Also nominated for Best Picture was "Argo," a film about the rescue of six U.S. diplomats from Tehran during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis.

No Animal Testing
Made in the USA
The unmatched level of purity in each and every ingredient we use is a big part of what make our products so unique and effective. All plant ingredients in our skin and hair care products are 100% organic, certified organic or wild-crafted. Our commitment to the absolute highest quality ingredients allows each product formulation to work on an advanced level, where the plant's active constituents are not inhibited by synthetics or toxins, which allows them to work as a whole in synergy and deliver unparalleled transformation.
Plants and herbs are the real, original source of active, vital nutrients for the body. The potent extracts, oils and essences of pure, whole plants offers the highest level of healing and regeneration available to the skin, scalp and hair.
These vital nutrients include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, fatty acid, amino acid, vitamin, mineral and a vast phytochemical activity. Plant nutrients share a similar natural, molecular structure to the nutrients and oils of the body. This likeness creates like a "bio-match" and has a very real vibrational alignment that can absolutely bring about profound changes to the skin, scalp, hair and body.
In other words, these powerful plant ingredients facilitate and support the body's own miraculous healing abilities, allowing the body to take full advantage of these generous nutrients when needed. This whole, fascinating process helps advance healing and regeneration of the skin, scalp and body to the optimum level. It's truly an art and science.
My team and I have selected herbs and oils in each product that contain a potent, synergistic combination of active plant nutrients designed to quickly improve and transform the appearance and health of the skin and hair. The base of my skin care is anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. The skin needs to be naturally calmed and soothed with anti-inflammatory so that its own natural, balanced healing process can ensue and visible changes can occur. Antioxidants neutralize molecules that damage the fibroblast cells. These fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin protein - the cells that make up the foundation and structure of the skin. These are crucial proteins that make the skin full and firm. - Read more about my philosophy on skin and scalp under MY APPROACH.
We go to great lengths to ensure absolute purity, safety and zero toxicity in our ingredients.
Testing on animals is wrong, inhumane and must stop. We do not and never will condone animal testing.
NO toxic ingredients including but not limited to: sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, silicones, petrochemicals or GMOs
A concentrated infused oil treatment for the eye area. The Oculus Formula offers a higher ratio of herbal actives to fully impact the eye area, which has fewer, finer pores and thinner skin. We've selected specific active herbs that work powerfully together releasing potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant synergy, boosting collagen, firming skin and resetting skin's natural regeneration process. Rich fatty acids and phytonutrients brighten, reduce puffiness and protect. Vegan.

"You are my inspiration"
"The pattern does not come available"
"I have several friends that are in the medical profession. This idea is awesome. So many times large clinics or hospitals require you to wear solid color scrubs. Here is a great way to say a little about yourself...your hobbies, vacations, pets etc. I just love the idea and will be making several."
"This summer sun dress looks so comfortable to wear. The V-front and V-back as well as the elastic fitted empire-line waist, and the gently gathered skirt gives this dress its style. Just two pattern pieces and a soft knit fabric will make this easy to wear summer frock. I have a pretty patterned knit that will be perfect for this dress"
"Love this pretty summer dress. The instructions indicate only one yard of fabric is needed to make the dress. If the adult version of the dress turns out somewhat short, easy to add some cotton eyelet or satin ribbon to the hemline to lengthen. Less elastic lines of gathers might be a way to add some length as well."

Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts? Along with her magnificent doll clothes patterns, Barbie made her official debut on March 9, 1959, and had been an unstoppably popular and beloved children's toy ever since. The idea for Barbie originally started with Ruth Handler, wife of Mattel co-founder Elliot Handler.
As Ruth watched her daughter, Barbara, play with her baby dolls, Ruth realized there were no dolls that were representations of adults. After becoming inspired by Bild Lilli dolls during a trip to Germany, Ruth bought three of them to bring with her back to the U.S. to show to those at the Mattel corporation, and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Barbie has been a cultural icon. Mattel has made claims that three Barbies are sold every second, and Barbie is sold in over 150 countries worldwide.
For those who are sewing machine wizards, it's not difficult to learn how to make doll clothes for Barbie. Standing at 11.5" approximately, Mattel made it easy for sewists of all stripes to use leftover fabrics to create lovely and elegant doll clothes patterns for their own dolls.

The Los Angeles Police Department is conducting not one but two sobriety checkpoints in the San Fernando Valley beginning Saturday, Feb. 23.
Those checkpoints -- where officers will stop motorists to determine whether they are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs -- will be held from a 8 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, through 2 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 24, in Canoga Park and North Hollywood.
Here are the location of the checkpoints, where officers will also be making sure motorists have valid driver's licenses:
-- Saticoy Street at Winnetka Avenue in Canoga Park
-- Lankershim Boulevard at Kling Street in North Hollywood.
The LAPD reminds motorists that an arrest for driving under the influence can cost more than $10,000 when fines, fees and increases in auto-insurance rates are taken into account. Motorists suspected of DUI are subject to arrest, and their cars may be impounded.
Funding for the LAPD's DUI checkpoints comes via a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Personality Bio
Marc has spent virtually his entire life in the Tri-State area, attending college at IU, and at various times hanging his hat in Montgomery, Clifton, Oakley, Mt. Lookout and Mason. After stints in Portland, OR and Greensboro, NC he got tired of the shipping costs for LaRosa's and Montgomery Inn and came home.
Amazon has hosted radio programs for over ten years, with a timely mix of politics, local issues, sports and entertainment. His 1999 "Tournament of Babes" is still considered one of this city's cultural milestones, on par with the Mapplethorpe exhibit and the Uncle Al Show.
Marc's top accomplishments include winning the Sycamore Junior High 8th grade basketball Mr. Defense award, being the youngest kid ever suspended from his middle school and injuring Bill Cunningham playing racquetball. He enjoys movies (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gladiator, Wedding Crashers), TV (Survivor, Friday Night Lights, Modern Family) and music (27 Jimmy Buffett concerts at Riverbend, and counting). In fact, before he met his lovely wife, he held the career record for most women bummed out at a single concert (all of them).
Marc lives in Mason with his wife and two children, where he spends his weekends shuttling from soccer game to baseball game to basketball game, while occasionally wishing the games could be played in a bar. Marc's show is produced by Garrett Sabelhaus, Dave Keaton and Jake Wendling.

Late fall in Utah is a special time for anglers. The waters of lakes and reservoirs cool along with the air, bringing fish into shallow waters in pursuit of forage fish.
Fish that typically are out of reach in the depths during the dog days of summer can be spotted, and more importantly caught, while cruising close to shore.
Forget down riggers and trolling. It's time to break out gear more commonly used to fish for bass and get after the big boys, and girls, of the late fall. The techniques also can be used by anglers fishing from the bank although a boat helps tremendously.
Big fish are active in the rivers as well. They are looking for big meals to stock on the fat for the winter, so think streamers and minnow-imitating lures on Utah's moving water fisheries.
Don't overlook other species when considering late fall fishing.
While any Utah fishery can heat up when the water cools, here's four places anglers should focus their efforts before the ice takes over, which traditionally happens the last week of November or early December at most places.
Scofield Reservoir
No Utah fishery has turned out more record fish in the past five years. Scofield has become the tiger trout (hybrid between a brook and a brown trout) capital of the West with three records set since Feb. 2012.
An 18-pound, 4-ounce tiger was caught last winter, and that fish was eclipsed this summer when a 19-pound, 2-ounce monster was landed. That's not far from the IGFA all-tackle record of 20 pounds, 13 ounces, caught in Wisconsin in 1978. There are plenty more big boys at Scofield.
A 32-inch, 14-pound tiger showed up during annual fall gill net sampling conducted by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in early October. And officials watched as a larger fish in the 16- to 18-pound class swam in the shallows while they were pulling nets.
Want to hook one? Fish with large minnow-imitating lures, flies and plastics.
Watch a video of the 18-pound tiger trout being caught to whet your appetite.
Strawberry Reservoir
Few fisheries are talked about more than Strawberry when it comes to fall fishing. The opportunity to catch big cutthroat and rainbow trout keeps the reservoir crowded right up until it ices over. Fishing is best from a boat, as some of the best areas are hard to reach via foot, but shore anglers can find cruising fish across the lake.
Don't forget the slot limit at Strawberry and don't hesitate to bring rainbows home. They are there to be harvested.
Here's some tips for fall fishing methods and check out a cutthroat caught earlier this month.
Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam
The Green River fishery still is thriving after Mother Nature kicked in some high water flows in 2011. The results are some of the healthiest trout the river has produced.
While those fly fishing this time of year should be ready for any kind of action dry, nymph, egg the most likely pattern to pull up a big brown trout is a streamer.
Ryan Kelly, a long-time guide and provider of a report from the river to The Tribune's Fishing Utah blog, says streamer fishing has been picking up in recent weeks; just as pressure is decreasing. There never is a bad time to fish the Green.
The brown trout are spawning on the Green this time of year, so use caution to avoid hitting redds (their spawning areas) when wading or anchoring boats. Observant anglers also will notice rainbow trout spawning, as the Green includes some fall-spawning rainbows.
Here's a video of fly fishing on the Green River.
Flaming Gorge Reservoir
There is a plethora of options for late fall fishing at the Gorge. Lake trout fishing can be good when fish are located, and the fishing for feisty rainbow trout seems to have become a year-round enterprise.
The new fish on the block for fall action is ugly but tasty and troublesome burbot. Fishing for them in the fall can be fast, but it also can be financially rewarding because the reformatted Burbot Bash fishing tournament starts Friday and includes a $25,000 prize for one lucky angler if the right fish is caught.
Ryan Mosley, Flaming Gorge Project Leader for the DWR, says anglers focused on burbot should head to the northern end of the reservoir in Wyoming.
Fishing from a boat in 20 to 40 feet of water off main channel points seems to be best. Mosley suggests anglers use a three-inch, curly-tailed, glow-in-the-dark jig on a white, yellow or glow jighead and tipping the rig with a small chunk of sucker or chub meat, and shine a light on it for glow. Fish the jig just off the bottom and wait for the strike.
For information on the Burbot Bash, which runs Nov. 15 to Jan. 26, visit www.burbotbash.com
Here's a video of the lake trout at Flaming Gorge.

South-east Asia's latest contemporary art fair, Art Stage Singapore, has been branded a huge success by organisers and participants including a number of Australian dealers. Artworks sold for up to $500,000 apiece.
Some 130 galleries from 23 countries exhibited works in late January ranging from paintings and sculptures to videos, installations and textiles, while visitor numbers topped 40,000.
Among the VIP visitors was the Australian High Commissioner to Singapore, Philip Green. Green, who is keen to raise the profile of Australian art in Singapore, visited many stands, and it is understood a work by Melbourne artist Ewen Coates, Overground, reflecting the thoughts of a young soldier, has been loaned to go on show at the high commission residency.
Twelve Australian galleries exhibited, double the number of the previous year. Paul Greenaway of Adelaide's Greenaway Gallery says the 2013 show was better than 2012 in both quantity and quality of the audience. He took the work of an emerging artist, Iranian-Australian Nasim Nasr, and says a number of Nasr's video works sold to buyers including a Dutch museum and collectors from Qatar and Singapore
Among the newcomers was Catherine Asquith Gallery, of Melbourne's Collingwood. Asquith says the fair was sophisticated and elegant, with a good demographic. "The presentation was upmarket without being alienating," she says, and drew a steady flow of traffic that ranged from international collectors to school children and the general public. "The great prize was people's faces as they approached", she says. Asquith was accompanied by one of her young artists, sculptor Melanie Fitzmaurice, who she says was quite a hit with visitors.
The strong Aussie turnout was largely due to the efforts of Anna Pappas, owner of Anna Pappas Gallery in Melbourne's Prahran and president of the Australian Commercial Galleries Association.
Pappas has exhibited at two of the Singapore fairs and has worked closely with its director, Lorenzo Rudolf.
"I wanted to give Australian galleries a greater presence in order to reduce the distance between south-east Asia and Australia," she says.
"The synergies are very important. Singapore is close; [almost] in the same time zone; it's a bit more economical for freight [than for exhibitions elsewhere]; and they speak English."
Plus, she says, the venue – the Marina Bay Sands convention centre – is attractive, with four-metre high walls and polished concrete floors.
Another gallery delighted with the fair is Sullivan + Strumpf of Sydney's Zetland, which generated about $300,000 in sales from one of the artists in its stable, sculptor Sam Jinks. Director Ursula Sullivan says she noticed a broadening of the collector base at this year's fair, with rising interest from institutions and the public – a good combination.
"The region is really galloping ahead," she says. She plans to exhibit at the Hong Kong fair in May this year as well as the Venice Biennale in June. "There are a lot of developments and a changing environment [around the region] in a collecting kind of way," she says.
Many galleries are of course reluctant to broadcast the sales they chalk up, nor is any overall sales tally yet available for the Singapore fair. But several individual works sold for prices above $100,000, and an Australian museum reportedly paid $550,000 for an abstract painting by US artist and print maker Sean Scully. It was sold by London's Timothy Taylor Gallery, according to The Wall Street Journal.
As Pappas says, such fairs are not only about sales but "networking and expanding knowledge of Australian art". One buyer from the previous fair approached her again this year, asking about Cyrus Tang – one of the artists she represents.
Individual country reports provided by the fair's organisers offer useful market information and profiles of leading regional artists as well as some data on auction sales.
The Australia and New Zealand report cites contemporary art sales at auction as slightly over $US6 million in 2012, compared with more than $US9 million in 2011. Sales were almost $US8 million in 2007 – the boom years before the global financial crisis. In contrast, figures compiled by Australian Art Sales Digest show total art auction sales as $95 million in 2012. This was down from $99 million in 2011 and $175 million in 2007.
With the New Zealand market relatively small, this suggests contemporary art sales at auction in Australia are above 5 per cent of overall Australian art sales at auction. Most contemporary art sales in this country would be direct sales by dealers to the public.
Unfortunately, the reports do not detail comparable auction turnover for other nations, though business in the newly booming art centres of Hong Kong and China would surely dwarf the Australian numbers.
At its close, director Lorenzo Rudolf said: "We have created an internationally competitive platform to promote emerging and established artists from the region."
"Art Stage Singapore has made a great start to 2013. Last year was a challenging year for many art fairs, galleries and artists, and we had to work hard to improve on many aspects of the fair. I'm pleased to see that our efforts have been rewarded."
He said that over the five days the fair had welcomed 40,500 visitors, many of them first time fair goers including artists, collectors, curators and media, with galleries reporting good sales and useful meetings with new local, regional and international buyers and institutions.
In keeping with the strong South-East Asian focus, this year's fair made a special feature of Indonesian art, with Singapore's Gajah Gallery reportedly selling a monumental painting by market darling I Nyoman Masriadi for $350,000 and Jakarta's Nadi Gallery selling a number of acrylics by Handiwirman Supatra at prices of up to $130,000. "This time was better than last year," Nadi founder Biantoro Santoso was quoted as saying, with more visitors and higher quality works on show.
Such factors, it seems, along with healthy Asian economies and growing middle classes, are likely to draw more Aussie dealers to Singapore next year.

Hi all, I would like to know if someone on this list is aware of any effort for implementing ECMAScript on top of Scheme, either by interpreting ECMAScript directly in Scheme, by byte-code compiling it or by compiling ECMAScript to Scheme. Since many XML-based languages use ECMAScript for browser-side computation (HTML, VoiceXML, SVG, etc.), it would be nice to have an interpreter (or compiler) for this language. This would make the implementation of interpreters for these markup languages much easier in Scheme. [In my case, I am mostly interested in implementing a text-based debugger for VoiceXML.] Note that I'm not looking for a complete or totally conforming implementation. It can lack regular expressions support, date objects, Unicode support, full Math support, automatic semicolon insertion, etc. Thanks in advance for your help! Dominique Boucher

Harmony 880 Universal Remote
So you've got an HDTV. And a TiVo. And a surround system. And a, well, you get the idea — you've got a lot of devices, and they all have a different remote. Instead of fighting a losing battle with them, replace them with the Harmony 880 Universal Remote from Logitech ($240). It features a color LCD screen, an activity based control scheme, controls for TiVo and DVRs, and a built-in rechargeable battery with a recharging dock. It's so simple, even the oldest member of the family can figure it out — as long as they aren't senile and think it's a hot dog or something.

Economic determinants of divorce among dual-earner couples: Jews in Israel
How relevant are the available theoretical perspectives on marriage dissolution for understanding modern family forms? By employing a unique set of longitudinal register-based data for the Jewish population in Israel, this study seeks to find out which of the major theoretical perspectives on economic determinants of divorce best explains the transition to divorce among dual-earner couples. Our findings appear to support theories that assert asymmetry and power relations between the spouses. The women's economic independence hypothesis is not confirmed by our results, which indicate that the wife's earnings do not affect divorce risk. In line with theories of income pooling, higher shared salaries are found to increase marital stability. Nonetheless, our results demonstrate that the basic assumption of symmetry between the spouses in these theories does not hold. Although employment stability for both spouses appears to reduce divorce risk, only the husband's salary is shown to negatively affect the odds of divorce, and only the wife's working hours and sector of employment are found to positively affect marriage instability. Moreover, couples in which the wife earns as much as or more than the husband are found to have the highest divorce risk.

Election of the President & Vice
President: Primary Election
According to the United States Constitution, a presidential election is to be held once every fourth year. The process of electing a President and Vice-President begins long before Election Day. Candidates from both major and minor political parties and independent candidates begin to raise money and campaign at least one year in advance of the general presidential election. In order to officially represent a political party, a candidate must be nominated by that party.
This primary nomination process is a contest that often produces factions within political parties. These divisions impact the policy stances and agendas of the candidates running for nomination as they attempt to garner the support of party leaders and activists. The nominating process officially begins with the first state primaries and caucuses, which usually occur in the month of February of the election year. It is at these local events that voters are given their first chance to participate in electing the nations next President.
There are many factors that influence who will ultimately become the candidate for a party. The publics perception of the candidates is influenced by such things as media reports, public opinion polls, candidate preference surveys, and advertising. These factors will help determine the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the candidates in the months leading up to the caucuses and primaries.
The spring of an election year is characterized by vigorous campaigning for primaries and caucuses all over the nation. This process reaches its crescendo at the national conventions of the political parties. Once at the national party conventions, the delegates from the states cast votes for the person who will represent the political party in the November general election. In order to secure a partys nomination, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes from the delegates. It is not unusual for delegates to vote several times before one candidate secures the majority of the votes and officially becomes that partys candidate for the election to determine the next President of the United States. The candidate for President then must choose a vice-presidential candidate. Generally, a running mate is chosen that will in some way balance the partys ticket for the general election. This balance may be geographic (choosing a running mate that is very popular in one region where the Presidential candidate is not) or ideological (choosing a running mate with a different ideological framework than the presidential candidate), and the balance is intended to make the overall general election ticket of a political party acceptable to as wide a range of voters as possible.
If a President is running for re-election, this nomination process must be completed. Even if the President does not face any opposition from within his own political party, the national convention will still occur. The conventions are extravaganzas, full of pageantry and showmanship. They serve to help jump start the general election campaign for the presidential candidates.

Closeup of a Phalaenopsis flower
|Scientific classification
|Type species
| Phalaenopsis amabilis
Blume, (1825)
See text.
Phalaenopsis (Blume 1825) is a genus of approximately 60 species of orchids (family Orchidaceae). The abbreviation in the horticultural trade is Phal.
The generic name originates from the Greek phalaina, "moth" and opsis, "like", descriptive of the inflorescences of some species, which resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called Moth orchids.
They are native throughout southeast Asia from the Himalayan mountains to the islands of Polillo and Palawan of the Philippines and northern Australia. Orchid Island off Taiwan is named after this orchid. Little is known about their habitat and their ecology in nature since little field research has been done in the last decades.
Most are epiphytic shade plants; a few are lithophytes. In the wild they are typically found below the canopies of moist and humid lowland forests, protected against direct sunlight, but equally in seasonally dry or cool environments. The species have adapted individually to these three habitats.
Phalaenopsis shows a monopodial growth habit. An erect growing rhizome produces from the top one or two alternate, thick and fleshy, elleptical leaves a year. The older, basal leaves drop off at the same rate. The plant retains in this way four to five leaves. If very healthy, they can have up to ten or more leaves. They have no pseudobulbs. The raceme appears from the stem between the leaves. They bloom in their full glory for several weeks. If kept in the home, they usually last two to three months, which is considered quite a long time.
The species can be classified into two groups :
- A group with a long, branched inflorescence (up to 1 m long) and large, almost round flowers with rose or white tints.
- A group with short stems and less rounded, waxy flowers with more pronounced colors.
In terms of particular lifeform terminology, one can also characterize these plants as hemicryptophyte or chamerophyte :
- hemicryptophyte (abbr.: hemicr.) : biennial or perennial plants with herbaceous stems. These stems die off after the growing season, while the shoots survive at soil level. The resting buds are just above or below soil level.
- chamaephyte (abbr. cham.) : low-growing plants with herbaceous and/or woody stems, that persist for several years. Their buds are on soil level or just above; but never above 50 cm.
The genera Doritis Lindl. and Kingidium P.F.Hunt are now included in Phalaneopsis, based on DNA-evidence (according to the World Checklist of Monocotyledons, Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew) (See also ref 1). However this is not implicitly accepted by every specialist in this field.
Intensive cross-fertilization has produced a great number of hybrids in all colors and variations. These are usually more adaptable to artificial conditions than their botanical ancestors. Most are hybrids of Phalaenopsis amabilis with Phalaenopsis schilleriana or Phalaenopsis stuartiana.

There is no true intergeneric hybrid between Phalaenopsis and the closely related Paraphalaenopsis. However, according to the RHS, there is a grex (i.e. all orchids derived from crossing the same two or more parent species; the name also covers all offspring from that particular cross). Phalphalaenopsis Doris Thornton is currently the one and only registered (1977) grex that represents a cross between a Paraphalaenopsis (x thorntonii) and a Phalaenopsis (Doris). Therefore, strictly speaking, the genetic barrier between these two closely related genera has not been crossed. But, since there are only very few true Phalaenopsis species in cultivation (most are hybrids), the possibility of a true intergeneric hybrid is not to be excluded.
Post-pollination changes in Phalaenopsis orchids
Phalaenopsis are not only outstanding in their beauty, but also unique in their photosynthetic mechanism. As in many other plants, the petals of the orchid flowers serve to attract pollinating insects and protect essential organs. Following pollination, petals will usually undergo senescence (i.e. wilt and disintegrate) because it is metabolically expensive to maintain them.
In many Phalaenopsis species such as P.violacea, the petals and sepals found new uses following pollination. They turn green, become fleshy and apparently photosynthesize.
Growing Phalaenopsis
Phalaenopsis are among the most popular orchids sold as potted plants owing to the ease of propagation and flowering under artificial conditions. They were among the first tropical orchids in Victorian collections. Since the advent of the tetrapoloid hybrid Phalaenopsis Doris, they have become extremely easy to grow and flower in the home, as long as some care is taken to provide them with conditions that approximate their native habitats. Their production has become a commercial industry.
In nature, they are typically fond of warm temperatures (20 to 35 °C), but are adaptable to conditions more comfortable for human habitation in temperate zones (15 to 30 °C); at temperatures below 18 °C watering should be reduced to avoid the risk of root rot. Phalaenopsis requires high humidity (60-70%) and low light of 12,000 to 20,000 lux. Flowering is triggered by a night-time drop in temperature of around 5 to 6 degrees over 2 to 4 consecutive weeks, usually in the fall.
Phalaenopsis prefer to be potted in fir bark, which is more free-draining than the sphagnum moss. Keep them in pots with a lot of drainage. One of the most numerous blunders that new growers make is to rot the roots. Overwatering and poor drainage cause the roots to deteriorate, therefore killing the plant. Being careful to water when you feel the soil is dry through and through is the safest thing to do.
Light is quite vital to the well-being of the phalaenopsis orchid. Keep it in indirect light near a southern window. Be sure the sun does not directly reach the leaves, which will cause burning and ugly brown marks. If the leaf feels hot to the touch, move it away immediately! On the other hand, phalaenopsis grown in poor dark areas tend to grow floppy dark green leaves and rarely flower.
Phalaenopsis roots are quite thick, and the green point at the ends signifies that the root is actively growing. It is okay for them to climb out of the pots. Keep the plant fertilized with a 1/4 diluted strength balanced fertilizer three times out of four waterings.
The flower spikes appear from the pockets near the base of each leaf. The first sign is a light green "mitten-like" object that protrudes from the leaf tissue. In about three months, the spike enlongates until it begins to swell fat buds. The buds will thus bloom. Usually you can tell what color the phalaenopsis is by looking at the bud color. After the flowers fade, some people prefer to cut the spike above the highest node (section). This may produce another flower spike or more rarely a keiki (a baby orchid plant that can be planted).

City Council President Chuck Lesnick's recent mayoral campaign e-blast criticized Assemblyman Mike Spano for mailings he's done on the state's dime.
Lesnick, who faces party-back candidate Spano and Robert Flower in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary, said Spano is abusing his privileges.
"We find it reprehensible that a state assemblyman can use the public coffers to crank out campaign literature in the guise of official mailing during such bad fiscal times," Lesnick's email stated.
Spano campaign spokesman Jason Baker said that Spano's mailing was done in July and that there are very strict deadlines that the Assembly has regarding mailings.
Baker said Spano issued three mailings about new laws and changes, which is something he does every year.
"There is nothing political. Everything is legislative," Baker said of the flier. "This is just another attempt by Chuck Lesnick to divert attention from the real issues affecting Yonkers."

As in many communities, there is a unit in Tottenham where students deemed too difficult to control, let alone teach, in the school system are sent. Teaching them is not an easy task and not always a success. But sometimes, through the hard work of the teachers and the realisation of some students that sometimes people are there to help them, the magic works. Last year, one of these moments happened to a small group of tough – I don't care/you don't matter – youngsters, who began to "get it". Not every day in every way, but bit-by-bit progress. People who had had no interest, wanting to come to school; people whose idea of art was spraying shop fronts, walking round Tate Modern talking about Bacon and Duchamp – in a thoroughly disrespectful way, of course, which is as it should be.
It has taken two years to bring them to a place where they can show they are not yobs, not unthinking disruptive louts. In fact, they have come so far that when the local authority told them it wouldn't pay for their last year at the unit, and they were being sent back into the system which was a part of their failure, some of them wept.
What has happened over the last few days has been reprehensible and people have to be responsible for their own actions. But as I sat watching the TV screen with disgust at the mob's behaviour, I couldn't help but think of a group of students being told that a small budget cut was more important than their education, future and ambition. Now it's time for us to weep too.

• One of the many causes of the recent shameful behaviour is the obsession of both Tory and Labour governments with giving children their "rights", without explaining their responsibilities. As an educator throughout these years, I saw the decline in respect for classroom teachers, along with the mounting expectations of pupils, who saw education more as a form of osmosis directed solely by their teachers, rather than effort by them. Increasingly, pupils would point out that it was the teacher's duty to ensure that they passed their exams with the grades they wanted. We should not be too surprised that our youth has behaved as it has.

• I have worked with young criminals, almost all of whom had been brutalised by childhood neglect and abuse. Most had no respect for or fear of their parents, the police or anyone else. The toughest of them looked forward to a spell in a detention centre where they would be well fed. I can think of no punishment that will deter the looters. However, I understand that public schools far outclass those of the state and that it is cheaper to send a boy to Eton than to Feltham Young Offenders Institution. The solution is surely obvious.

Are you struggling with a loss? This might be the loss of a loved one or a beloved pet. It may be a divorce which has left you grieving. There are a variety of losses we experience in life. Death and divorce are among the most difficult and painful. Many are aware of the stages of grief but what you may not realize is that there is no particular order in going through them. If you have experienced a loss and you're "all over the place" with your emotions, this is more normal than you realize. Many of my clients experience relief from having a safe place to talk and process their loss. In time the pain will lesson but the timeframe will be different for everyone.

Grief is a normal process after any loss. I help clients understand the process of grieving and identify any unhealthy lingering beliefs and feelings that are keeping them stuck in pain. As they learn to release those, maintaining the memories they want to keep, they can then move on with their lives. I assist them in releasing guilt, anger, hurt, loneliness, fear and old relationship patterns that cause any of the negative feelings, replacing them with new, empowering beliefs.

It's been said that grief is the price of love. It follows that the more we loved the person, role, or phase of life that we've lost, the deeper our grief. Clients working through a significant loss will benefit from an approach to grief work that focuses on making meaning out of the journey and gaining tools to weather the ebbs and flows of the grief process.
Donna Westcott, M.Ed.

Loss of a loved one is devastating. Loss can also apply to other situations. Changes in location or employment, reduction in status or abilities, life transitions, unfulfilled dreams, personal violation, all can be significant losses which deserve to be grieved. I can help you to understand your loss in all of its implications, grieve thoroughly and appropriately, and take from your loss a treasure into a more meaningful future.

You've seen the advertisement where people are walking down a city street carrying their "number" under their arms. It's a large and somewhat cumbersome six- or seven-digit savings goal for each bearer's retirement.
ING has a calculator on its website that enables you to figure out your wealth accumulation target by plugging in five numbers, beginning with your age, at ingyournumber.com.
For instance, let's imagine you're 50 years old, your household income is $80,000, and you expect to retire at age 65 and live to age 100: What's your number if you need an annual income of $40,000 a year or half your annual salary? The answer, according to the ING calculator: $1,602,736.
Why plan to live to 100? It's better to assume you'll live to a ripe old age than to run out of money early.
A different approach
Having a savings goal is never a bad idea. But it may not be the best way to approach retirement planning, says Wade D. Pfau, Ph.D., an associate professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo.
In the current issue of the Journal of Financial Planning, Pfau argues that the stock market can throw off the best laid plans, thanks to its volatile nature. We know all about wild fluctuations in returns from firsthand experience. The good news is that decades with lousy market returns are generally not immediately repeated due to a reversion to the mean. Lousy stock markets generally recover.
Looking at historical market returns over rolling 30-year periods, Pfau says, "A progress report (showing how much you saved) from 10 years before retirement would provide almost no information about the final wealth accumulation."
When financial planners talk about the magic of compounding, most of the so-called magic is supposed to occur in the last 10 years or so just before retirement. Using the "rule of 72," if you earn an average of 7 percent a year, your money doubles roughly every 10 years. So theoretically, if you have $500,000 saved up at age 50, you'll have a million bucks by age 60 in this scenario.
But what if the last 10 years of our careers are marred by one or two bear markets, like, say, those that occurred over the last decade? Someone's portfolio could be decimated just in time for retirement.
"The specific returns earned in the final few years before retirement play a disproportionate role in determining the final accumulated wealth," Pfau says.
Rather than focus on a wealth accumulation target, Pfau examines historical market returns to arrive at a safe retirement age combined with varying savings rates and income-replacement needs. It's based on how much you have accumulated by a certain age as a multiple of your salary.
For example, what's the safe retirement age for a 50-year-old who has saved up four times her annual salary and who will need to replace 50 percent of her pre-retirement income? Pfau assumes she will live to 100, and her portfolio invests 60 percent in an S&P 500 fund and 40 percent in fixed income assets.
The table below shows at what age she can safely retire at the various savings rates. If she is saving 15 percent of her income, she can safely retire at age 66. If she saves 20 percent of her income, she can retire a year earlier.
Notice that a person who has accumulated nothing by age 50 will have to work as long as he lives. Likewise, a person who has already accumulated 10 times his salary can safely retire by age 58.
If you think you might be able to live on less than 50 percent of your income, or conversely you'll need to live on more than that, Table B shows the safe retirement age at different income replacement rates, assuming a 15 percent savings rate and the same 60 percent stock allocation to your portfolio.
If you don't have anything saved up yet, you can replace 30 percent of your income by saving 15 percent of your current income for the next 23 years, retiring by age 73. But if you already have 14 times your annual salary saved up, heck, you can retire today knowing you can replace 40 percent of your current income.
These numbers are an alternate way to figure out your retirement planning needs and take into consideration some very erratic market returns of the past. They also serve as a wake-up call for those who want a realistic idea of how much it will take to fund a retirement that may last for several decades.

Jockey Frankie Dettori will miss the rest of the season with a fractured right ankle, his business manager told the Associated Press Oct. 2.
Dettori, 42, who was slated to ride leading Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fra-I) contender Treve in the Oct. 6 event at Longchamp, was unseated from his mount Eland Ally before a race at Nottingham Oct. 2.
According to Racing Post, trainer Criquette Head-Maarek said Thierry Jarnet will replace Dettori on Treve.
Peter Burrell, Dettori's business manager, told the Associated Press, "It's an extremely painful injury. Sunday is out—as is the season.''

That's odd. As if m0n0wall doesn't see your second disk. I haven't been
able to test the image as I don't have a spare disk to use. Can anyone
else give it go?
Also just check /etc/fstab.cf to make sure I haven't made a silly
mistake. It should have a line "/dev/ad1a /cf"...
You can get to it as follows:
Mount /dev/ad1a.
Copy mfsroot.gz to a temporary directory and uncompress.
> vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 mfsroot
> mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
look at /mnt/etc/fstab.cf
when finished unmount and...
> vnconfig -u vn0
I'll take another look at it tonight.
Alternatively you could try putting the disk on the secondary master. I
also have an image for that too.

Thank-you for creating this ad1 build!! This is taking me in the right
direction and I believe it will help others as well. The m0n0wall
might find it interesting having a full FreeBSD system on the same PC as
m0n0wall image. Thanks again for helping to make this happen.
I reloading the PC with FreeBSD on the master hdd. I downloaded the ad1
image and gzcat ... | dd of=/dev/rad1 bs=16k onto the slave hdd. I
up the PC which took me to the FreeBSD boot menu. I selected the
hdd and m0n0wall boots. So far so good!!
The last line of the boot sequence says a mount of /dev/ad1a failed as
could not be found. This was followed by the message that says
/conf/config.xml could not be found. This second error is to be
expected if
the mount failed.
I booted the PC again and selected the FreeBSD partition from the boot
This is good progress that I can do this as well! I issued a "mount
/dev/ad1a /mnt" which was successful. I listed the /mnt directory and
the /conf/config.xml file was on the secondary hdd.
It looks like we have one more hurdle to cross.
Thanks again for your help, Greg

Hi Greg,
I've placed an image here
ftp://ftp.lin-x-pert.com/pub/m0n0wall/generic-pc-ad1-pb14r457.img that
should work with your configuration. It's exactly the same as the most
recent image available for download from the m0n0wall site except that
it is modified to run on the primary slave (/dev/ad1 or /dev/rad1).
Try it and let me know if it works. If it doesn't I'll make you another
Firmware upgrading will also work but don't use new images from the
m0n0wall site as they will overwrite the modifications that should make
this image work on /dev/ad1 | /dev/rad1. I'll try to keep making such
modifications available for new releases.

Subject: [m0n0wall] Install on PC that Can't Boot from CD
Hi There,
I'm testing m0n0wall on an old 586 PC that has two hard disks. I first
discovered the BIOS in the PC is not able to boot from CD so I couldn't
install using the CD + Floppy path. I decided to load FreeBSD 4.8 onto
Master hard disk and also configured boot manager. This was possible
the two floppy boot sequence provided with FreeBSD (kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp). I FTPed the generic-pc-pbxrxx.img file onto the new
and ran the gzcat ... | dd of=/dev/rad1 bs=16k. This placed the
image on the second hard disk of the PC.
I booted the PC which went to the boot manager. I placed a floppy with
/conf/config.xml in the floppy drive and asked book manager to boot from
second hard disk. m0n0wall seems to boot correctly but can't find the
config.xml file at the end of the boot sequence just before entering the
main menu. I select option 1) from the main menu and I receive a
config.xml not found error message.
It does not appear that the system is trying to read the floppy drive.
Perhaps the system is trying to find config.xml in the root directory of
hard disk. Is config.xml stored on the hard disk when running on a
or a PC with no floppy? If this is the case, how do you get the
file onto the hard disk in the first place? Is it part of the .img? If
this is the case, why can't m0n0wall find the file? Hmmm.
I feel like I'm close to getting m0n0wall working but need a push in the
right direction. Any help would be appreciated!
PS. Is it possible to boot the PC from kern.flp / mfsroot.flp and
control to the m0n0wall CD image somehow?

Diplomacy and the death penalty
Page Tools
Australia's attitude to aiding prosecutions that might result in execution is disturbingly ambiguous.
The cases of Schapelle Corby, the nine Australians accused of trying to smuggle heroin out of Bali, and a Chinese national accused of having murdered a Chinese student in Australia all pose a dilemma for the Federal Government: how to reconcile this country's standards of human rights with respect for another country's sovereignty; and in particular, how far to co-operate with another country's law enforcement agencies when a conviction is likely to lead to capital punishment. In the Corby case, the Government sought and was given an assurance that she would not face the death penalty when the verdict is given today. In the case of Zhang Long, who is being held in China after giving himself up to authorities there, Australia will not co-operate fully with Chinese prosecutors unless there is a guarantee he will not be executed. But in the case of the Bali nine, Indonesian police are receiving the unconditional help of their Australian counterparts.
The inconsistency is troubling. Australian policy is to give unconditional help at a police-to-police level while a crime is investigated, but once the case has moved into the courts further help is limited unless the prosecutors promise not to seek the death penalty. Yet the Government must be aware that assistance given even in the early stages of an investigation may lead to a convicted person being executed. A problem for Australia is that it needs Indonesia's co-operation in detecting terrorists, drug traffickers and people smugglers. Like most countries, Indonesia is jealous of its sovereignty and resentful of claims by others of superior righteousness. Nevertheless, Australia should respectfully make it clear that assistance will not be given without an assurance from the start that the accused person will not face the death penalty. In the case of Zhang Long, it should continue to press for an extradition so that he can be tried here, where the alleged crime was committed.
Capital punishment is abjured by civilised states - notwithstanding the fact that the United States still uses it. It is not necessary to go as far as former prime minister Bob Hawke, who provoked a diplomatic incident when he described the hanging of two Australians in Malaysia in 1986 as "barbaric". But recognition of another culture, and our need to get on with our neighbours, does not mean we should compromise our own hard-won standards of respect for human rights.

Goblin Quest (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Jim C. Hines
Work details
Goblin Quest by Jim C. Hines (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Surprisingly good. It doesn't quite rise to the level of Don Quixote in skewering it's target, but it definitely looks at fantasy adventuring in a different light.
This is now one of my all time favorite series; you know the ones where the characters stay with you and are missed when last word devoured. Not really sure how to write a review for. The plot synopsis at this site is accurate so not repeating.
Definitely a 5-star garnering book on the strength of the Jig character alone. The world and other characters certainly well-drawn; but, Jig carries the show. He draws us into his life and along some rather hilarious adventures which just flow madly and realistically along. Excellent storytelling without resorting to shoehorning something in awkwardly just to make a joke or to insert seriousness. Just a rollicking good story that I enjoyed and made me eager to read next adventure (eager but not forced as this was not one of those books with awkward cliffhanger ending).
It was refreshing to read a DnD dungeon crawl adventure from the perspective of the hated, weak, little goblin. The wicked adventurers invading his home on another of their quests, shown with all their flaws as real people, not the perfect heroes they imagine themselves to be.
If I hadn't been told this was the author's first book, I never would have known; it was that polished and well-told. I can't wait to read more by this author.
There are quite a few books which adopt as their protagonist a "villainous" Fantasy monster, but this one does a better job of it than most others. Only the webcomic Goblins! by Tarol Hunt is this book's equal at balancing humor and story.
Jig the goblin is a near-sighted runt, destined to die at the hands of the first adventurer he is unlucky enough to stumble into. Luckily for the reader, and Jig, destiny takes a sharp turn for the little monster. This book was short, well-paced, and competently characterized. Two of the adventurers are a flat imitation of a pair of the protagonists from the Dragonlance Dungeons and Dragons series, so familiarity with those books would enhance a reader's enjoyment of this one. Personally, I disliked Raistlin and his brother in Dragonlance, and seeing their dopplegangers through uncharitable goblin eyes was quite satisfying. Jim Hines managed to convert his success with short stories into a longer format by imitating the episodic structure of a typical tabletop roleplaying game. Many of the chapters of this book could stand as isolated short stories with a little tweaking.
I liked the premise of this novel, but the execution didn't suit me most of the time. The little D&D references were probably meant as shout-outs to the readers; however, they just pulled me out of the story. I often felt like I was reading an interesting campaign log. I think the author found his voice, though, about 2/3 of the way through. I am willing to give the series a second try/

Bwilbwilikkaj has opposite leaves and yellow tubular flowers. Its name refers to a breadfruit (mā) that cracks upon falling to the ground.
Distribution: It is common in disturbed places, often growing underneath coconut and breadfruit trees. Bwilbwilikkaj is a weed found in many topical ares. It is native to tropical America, and most probably was introduced into the Marshall Islands after European contact. This species has only been reported on Kuwajleen, Mājro, and Jālooj.
Uses: To relieve muscular or headache pains suffered in a fall from a coconut, breadfruit, or other tree, bwilbwilikkaj plants are pounded until soft, wrapped in cloth, and put in a tub of water to make a soothing bath.
