Another aspect of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) knowledge bestowed by Allah is that he will know abjad calculation and its secrets. Taskopruluzade Ahmet Efendi has recorded in his Mawduat-ul'Ulum (Vol.11/ p. 246) that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will know the science of onomancy:
Some of them said this book that has reached maturity is attributed to the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) who is expected to appear in the End Times. He is very competent of the science of jifr and its secrets. This knowledge is the kind of wisdom that reached from the books endowed to the prophets of the past.

New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
A season that was floundering after an embarrassing loss at Ohio State and a tumble out of the ratings suddenly looks promising after a pair of wins, including a muscular 23-9 throttling of No. 20 Michigan Saturday night.
Is Nebraska slowly building championship-caliber momentum?
The Nebraska defense rose up and slapped around Michigan, the blueblood of the Big Ten. The Blackshirts knocked dynamic senior quarterback Dennard Robinson out of the game in the second quarter with an injured elbow.
The game had plenty riding on the outcome. A loss would have ended the Cornhuskers' Big Ten title hopes. Now we will find out if Nebraska (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) can play with consistency.
The rest of the games on the schedule are winnable if the Huskers can stay at least even in turnovers with each opponent. Next up is a road game at Michigan State, which upset Wisconsin in overtime Saturday night.
Before we become overly optimistic, it's wise to note that the Huskers still have not played a clean game.
Against Michigan, they lost two turnovers and committed eight penalties for 104 yards, but the defense earned back the title of Blackshirts by holding the Wolverines to 188 total yards.
The win was the 11th consecutive night game victory at home for the Big Red.
Here are my top three keys to the game. You can tell us about yours by using the Talk Back feature.
1. The Husker defense was excellent, holding Michigan to just 52 yards after halftime and not allowing a touchdown. The Blackshirts played bend-but-don't-break in the first half, using caution and decent execution in stringing out Robinson and not allowing him any runs longer than seven yards. They got more aggressive against freshman quarterback Russell Bellomy in the second half.
2. Nebraska won the kicking game, getting a big edge in field position although the Huskers did not capitalize on it as well as they should have. Brett Maher, the senior from Kearney, was effective, hitting field goals of 19, 51 and 31 yards he now has 31 career field goals, good for fourth on Nebraska's all-time list.
Maher also had a good night punting, using the rugby-style punt to advantage. One of his kicks glanced off the hands of the Wolverine return man and rolled out of bounds at the Michigan 2-yard line.
The Huskers' kick coverage was much improved, although they still struggle to return kicks well. At least there were no turnovers on special teams; two fumbles on kickoffs absolutely devastated NU last season in Ann Arbor.
3. Nebraska did well enough in two key areas turnover margin and third down efficiency to beat Michigan. Nebraska went plus-1 in turnovers, which will be the key to Nebraska's success throughout the rest of the season. The Blackshirts got three takeaways, all on interceptions. On third down, Nebraska played Michigan to a draw, going 4-12 while the Wolverines converted 5-15.

Thursday opens once again with clouds and fog in Orange County, but a shift is in the wind: warmer temperatures and sunnier skies this weekend and early next week.
Air flow is expected to shift toward the ocean starting Friday as high pressure builds over the Great Basin, the National Weather Service says.
That flow should weaken Saturday, then strengthen again Sunday through Wednesday, moving temperatures toward the mid-70s early in the week.
For the moment, low pressure is in the driver's seat. That means a mostly cloudy morning with patches of the now-familiar fog that could cut visibility to a quarter mile or less.
Skies turn partly cloudy later with highs of 64 to 69.
Friday also starts off mostly cloudy with patchy fog, but then we switch to mostly sunny skies as high pressure over the Great Basin begins to exert its influence.
Expect highs of 68 to 73 inland, 63 to 68 on the coast.
Saturday brings us partly cloudy skies and patchy fog in the morning, then it's mostly sunny, with highs of 67 to 72 inland, 65 on the coast.
Skies remain mostly sunny Sunday through Wednesday with a modest climb in temperatures through Tuesday: 66 to 71 Sunday, 70 to 75 Monday and, for inland areas, 71 to 76 on Tuesday, with 67 to 72 on the coast.
Highs should ease back down into the 65 to 70 range Wednesday as the high pressure moves to the west; the Weather Service says low clouds could return late next week.

|The Down Side of Two Anchors
An experienced boater discovers the hard way that two anchors aren't always better than one.
By Ellie Van Os • Illustration by Travis Young — February 2002
"The rocks are 15 feet off the stern!" shouted my husband Jim. The cabin that moments before had felt cozy against the howling wind now felt very exposed. Anchored just inside of Little Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands on a moonless night in 35-knot winds, our boat was dragging not one but two anchors. We knew exactly where we were, but how did we get into the position we were in? There was no time for the "why" just yet. First we had to figure out the "how."
Fortunately our 400-hp diesels started flawlessly. After a quick check of our Bahamian moor, we determined that we were dragging our windward anchor, 100 feet of chain with a 45-pound plow. Moreover, it was apparent that our carefully placed leeward anchor was causing a big problem instead of preventing one. Made up of nylon line with 10 feet of chain rode on a 40-pound Danforth, it had gone virtually slack and was wrapped around the chain of the plow. The first order of business was to unwrap the thing since the fouling was causing both anchors to drag with each rise of the wildly horsing bow. We did this by quickly removing the slack Danforth rode from its bow cleat and using the windlass, retrieving short lengths of the plow rode. This enabled us to unwrap the Danforth line foot by foot. That done, we retrieved the plow, which would not reset, then slowly worked at recovering the Danforth. Unfortunately, though it had dragged earlier, it was now firmly entrenched. In a perfect world we would have been able to pay out additional line, drop back, and leave it at that. But a safe scope was no longer possible--we were too close to the rocks. After seemingly endless jockeying in an attempt to reposition the boat and free the Danforth, we eventually had to abandon it. In a heart-stopping maneuver, we managed to cut it loose at precisely the right moment to avoid fouling the propellers. We motored away on that black and rocky night thanking Neptune for giving us the foresight to outfit the boat with radar the previous Christmas.

Hard to believe we're turning over another year already, isn't it? 2011 was a year of huge challenges at Vermont Woods Studios Fine Furniture Store. Let's see, there was:
- Moving out of the spare bedroom in my house (all 5 of us) and into our first official office space in the "heart of downtown Vernon"
- Making our sales goal of doubling last years sales
- Welcoming our newest staff member, Shannon
- Adding POLYWOOD, recycled outdoor furniture to our store
- Adding sustainable, Vermont made Copeland Furniture to our store
- Sponsoring a number of charitable events, including fundraising for Hurricane Irene victims
Oh, and I finally got an iphone for Christmas this year. That was big too. Plus many other milestones I can't believe we actually achieved– thanks to our hot-shot staff, our visionary customers, all the talented Vermont craftspeople who build our fine furniture and the many vendors and supporters who help us out every single day. To all of you, we are immensely grateful.
2012 is going to be even bigger, better and more challenging as we look to again double our sales and become smarter, faster, and more efficient at sending Vermont's fine furniture out to the rest of the country and the world.
To me the most exciting project next year will be transforming the American icon that was Skyline Restaurant on Hogback Mountain into an environmental learning center– that showcases Vermont made furniture and tells the story of how it makes it's way from the trees in our Green Mountain Forest to the dining table in your kitchen.
I hope you'll continue to join us as our unlikely, but unstoppable journey moves into 2012. We wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!

Professor Emeritus Harold Amstutz Passes Away
June 14, 2013
The Purdue Veterinary Medicine Family lost one of the College of Veterinary Medicine's founding faculty members with the passing of Professor Emeritus of Veterinary Clinical Sciences Harold Amstutz June 11. He was 93. Dr. Amstutz joined the faculty as head of the Department of Veterinary Clinics in 1961, just two years after the first class of veterinary students enrolled in what was then the Purdue School of Veterinary Science and Medicine. He remained on the faculty until he retired in 1989.
A 1945 DVM graduate of Ohio State University, Dr. Amstutz was a charter diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and became renowned for his expertise on bovine diseases. Sought-after as a lecturer and consultant, Dr. Amstutz was elected as the first executive vice president of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) in 1989. He received numerous awards, and in 2011, he became one of two inaugural inductees into the Cattle Production Veterinarian Hall of Fame at the AABP's annual conference. Even after retiring as a Purdue faculty member, Dr. Amstutz remained very active in the life of the College, serving on the Admissions Committee, leading the committee that commissioned the Continuum Sculpture, and attending numerous Honors and Awards Banquets to present the Amstutz Bovine Award for high interest and proficiency in bovine medicine and surgery.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that contributions be made to Our Saviour Lutheran Church, 300 W. Fowler Avenue, West Lafayette, IN 47906, or the AAPB's Amstutz Student Scholarship Fund, PO Box 3610, Auburn Alabama 36832. A Celebration of Life Service was held for Dr. Amstutz July 20 at Our Saviour Lutheran Church. To view the complete obituary in the Lafayette Journal and Courier, click here.

Team Spain has pitching plan for Friday's game
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Team Spain manager Mauro Mazzotti said right-hander Sergio Perez will get the start Friday in the club's World Baseball Classic debut against Puerto Rico at Hiram Bithorn Stadium.
Perez, 28, spent last year with Houston's Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, where he went 4-2 with a 4.54 ERA in 75 1/3 innings over 40 appearances, including four starts. He was a second-round pick by the Astros in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Tampa and has spent the last seven years in Houston's Minor League system, compiling a 37-42 record and 4.23 ERA.
Mazzotti didn't announce starters for Saturday's game against the Dominican Republic or Sunday's contest against Venezuela. Instead, he'll have his entire staff prepared to pitch behind Perez on Friday.
"We might keep all the guys for one game, and whoever's not going to pitch will start the next game. We don't have the luxury [of setting up a rotation]," Mazzotti said. "We could keep everybody together, see if we can get the best we can in case we have a chance to win the game. If not, the best guy can pitch the next game."
In other words: If Spain has a chance to win Friday's game -- no small accomplishment given the Major League-caliber competition in Pool C -- Mazzotti could use all his top arms and put everything into securing Spain's first Classic victory. If the game is clearly out of reach, he can opt to hold Spain's best pitchers until Saturday or Sunday.
In addition to Perez, Spain's best available options are probably right-handers Richard Castillo, who tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles on Wednesday, and Yoanner Negrin, who held the Pirates to just two hits and struck out two over two innings Tuesday.

IT'S back to his old school for the new head teacher of Catcott Primary, who has said it's "like returning home."
Chris Axten-Higgs took over the role as head teacher after the Easter break, having previously worked as deputy head at Puriton Primary School.
Before that, Mr Axten-Higgs worked at Catcott for six years so he knows the area, the school and staff very well.
Speaking of his visions for the school, Mr Axten-Higgs said: "I want to lead a school where the children achieve their full potential and have the breadth of opportunity offered to them by the top schools in the world.
"Our curriculum will aspire to bring together children's understanding of their community, their place in their local area, and in the wider world; it will give every child a thirst to find out more."

Curiousity brought me here... Ebook
let's see where we will get to
by Shannon Sadler
About the Ebook
This is a book about curiosity. Mine, yours and of the people I met lately. A book about how I see things and how I like to capture them with my camera. I'm not a professional photographer or an artist, at least at the moment. I'm just someone curious about the world we live in. That's why we're here in the first place, right? We want to see, to know... to discover. My curiosity brought me here in Cambodia where I live now and I don't know where it'll bring me in the future. I usually follow my feelings, instincts and sensations. When I first got to Cambodia the vibe was good, and I wanted to move out of Europe anyway, so I just thought "why not?". I'm here for totally different things but art, photography, design are always travelling with me. I put together this small first collection of pictures I took in the first period here. I decided to put them in a small book for you to have a look and hopefully have a small bite of what I lived and felt; I hope so. I also hope these pictures will makes you feel better today and maybe inspire you to do something of your own: travel, get out of your house and take some pictures or anything else that involves you, the world and creativity. Let's see if this is the first step for a longer journey together.

About the Creator
Hi! I'm half-Italian, half-French, my name is from Ireland and my last name from Austria. This is usually how I have to introduce myself to explain the whole thing. Yep, I'm a mix of many different things together with the experiences, places, people, inputs I met or had during my life. I'm not a professional photographer and I don't even know how to write properly in one single language, so please forgive me if I'll mess up. I reckon I'm not the right person to talk about me anyway. Come to my website to get an extra feeling, to see what I'm doing, what I'm afraid of, what my dreams are and first of all to give me your feedback. That would probably built a sensation of what I an to future visitors. I look forward to see you there and if you feel I should do more books like this, just say so straight as I have lots of pictures and ideas that I don't know what to do with them ahahaha... Have a nice day Ciao, Shannon

A Noise Within Resident Artists Holds Free Reading of PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT
A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre company, offers a free, one-night-only reading of Tennessee Williams' holiday-themed PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT on Wednesday, December 12, 7 pm, in its new
state-of-the-art Pasadena theatre. Directed by Deborah Strang and featuring A Noise Within resident artists, this rarely performed play about two couples on Christmas Eve is Williams' only comedy. The reading, for which
reservations are recommended, is designed to compliment ANW's production of Charles Dickens' masterpiece A Christmas Carol, which plays in repertory
from December 8 to 23, 2012.
Period of Adjustment reveals the challenges and difficulties in the relationships of two couples, one newlywed and the other married for five years. During their evening together sharing their personal stories, both
couples ultimately realize and embrace the positive elements in their lives. The play premiered on Broadway in 1960 and was adapted into in a movie in 1962 starring Jane Fonda.
The cast features ANW Resident Artists Mark Bramhall (Ralph Bates), Jill Hill (Isabel Haverstick), Stephen Rockwell (George Haverstick), Alison Elliott (Susie), Jaque Lynn Colton (Mrs. McGillicuddy), Mitchell Edmonds (Mr. McGillicuddy), Anna Miller (Dorothy Bates) and William Dennis Hunt (Stage Directions/Police Officer/TV Voice)
A Noise Within is the only year-round classical repertory company in Southern California and one of only a handful in the entire country dedicated solely to producing classical dramatic literature in the repertory tradition of rotating productions with a resident company of professional artists. It has been lauded by critics as a "premiere classical theatre
company," and an "outstanding ensemble" whose "vibrantly theatrical" "brilliant productions" are "freshly imagined," "exceptional," "invigorating," "riveting," "brilliantly atmospheric," "inspired," and "masterfully crafted." Founded 20 years ago, ANW quickly established itself
as one of the region's key theatre companies, attracting fiercely loyal audiences and consistently high praise from the media for its productions and as a key force in arts education. The company has presented more than 140 plays from the classics of world literature, each season producing works from authors ranging from Shakespeare and Molière to Ibsen, O'Neill and Shaw to Miller and Williams.
Media sponsors for A Noise Within's 2012-13 Season are Pasadena Star-News and KPCC 89.3 FM.
A NOISE WITHIN is located on the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue at 3352 East Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107. For information and reservations, call (626) 356-3127 or visit www.ANoiseWithin.org.

I taught myself html, css, and a large amount of php in high school. I joined the Navy and for four years I didn't do any real development. I got out and a lot of things had changed. We had html5, css3, and php was deprecating the mysql library. I learned mysqli and pdo. i switched all of my stuff to pdo and didn't look back. (This background may help you see where I am skill wise.)
One thing about php is that is it set up to be easily used with web development. It has templating built in, and html can be inter-mixed with it. When writing php you can simply write a script and upload it. You don't need some extra tempting system like in Python.
My major piece of confusion had to do with frameworks regarding Python. 'Framework' has become a generic term. There are many different types of frameworks. So when people tell me Django is a framework I assume it has a bunch of pre-written code to help developers from writing basic things from scratch over and over. But apparently Django is a lot more than that. When I ask if Django is simply pre-written code I get demeaned and simply told, "You must not know what a framework is." But I do know what a framework is. Django is just a different type of framework than I'm used to.
From what I've read about Django is that it provides a templating system. In order to build a website in Python there must be some kind of templating system in order to use html with Python because you don't intermix Python and html like you do php and html.
So now I'm sitting at the conclusion that Dhango is pre-written code to help developers from writing everything from scratch and it has a templating language built in to make building websites easier. This doesn't sit right with me. i have a voice in the back of my head telling me, "But wait! There's more!" i know I am missing something.
So my main question is what does Django provide exactly? What makes it so powerful besides the tamplating language and the ability to not have to write basic things from scratch every time?
Another big question I have is, Do we need a framework to build a Python based website? If we do not need one wouldn't we still need a templating system? Are there simply templating systems out there that come by themselves without a framework like Django?
And another big one is how different are the different templating languages really? Django does things like
- Code: Select all
{% extends "base_generic.html" %}
{% block title %}{{ section.title }}{% endblock %}
{% block content %}

{{ section.title }}

{% for story in story_list %}

{{ story.headline|upper }}

{{ story.tease|truncatewords:"100" }}

{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
Are different frameworks hugely different when it comes to the templating?
If I start to learn python and I do so learning Django are there large parts of Python I'm not going to learn because I'm depending so much on Python to do so much for me?
I've got more questions, but this has turned into a big long ramble. If you can clear up my confusion and elaborate a little more on Django i'd appreciate it.
This is sort of related, but sort of not. After looking into Python it looks like a beautiful language, but needing a framework makes it look overwhelming at first glance. Wouldn't low level web development be almost pointless in Python because of all of the necessary steps and things needed just to get a Python based site running and built? And how hard is it to get Python running in a non-prduction environment when all you're doing is using a simple shared web host and do not have a server you fully control?
Thansk so much for reading. I aplogize these are such basic question, but i need to ask them.

Regarding inverted mesh elements
Hi all,
We were doing simulation on eddy current damping pendulum,.While solving the equations ,we got the error message that inverted mesh elements were found. How to avoid this?? can anyone tell us how to solve the equation system for atleast a compound pendulum??
Kindly help us
Best regards

Re: Regarding inverted mesh elements
for me there are two level of "inverted elements".
1) your mesh is rater poor, some elements are not very regular, spiky or "thin", when you apply 2nd or higher order shape functions, the result is "inverted elements", hence COMSOL uses first order elements, but still calculates off and the reults are mostly OK (somewhat lower quality in regions with "inverted elements"
2) you work with ALE or deforming mesh, and during the solving the mesh element quality goes so low, or even the mesh truely inverts, then mostyyl te results are also wrong, and you should detect this before you get that far and do a remesh
Good luck

Re: Regarding inverted mesh elements
No I do not really know of any articles, its references somewhere in the 4.3a doc , but its a common issue with higher order discretisation (polynomial development) on mesh elements.
Think of it: you link the node vertex of a thetraedral (4 node) mesh element shape with straight lines, then you add 2nd order polynomials, you need to consider the nabour mesh element nodes too to have enough points (minimum 3, 4 better). Then you place an extra "virtual" node/point inbetween the two thetraedral mesh nodes, but positionned on the the polynomial line. This you repeat for all (6) node pairs combinations, you are adding 6 node elements w.r.t the 4 original ones, this is a 2nd order discretization. You might also introduce a central node point at the average position from the 4 original vertex nodes.
Now if you mesh element become very slim and elongated, the intermediate node points on the mesh edges migh overlap, this means you have an inversion of the shape and the virtual volume is no longer a normal 3D topology entity, and your results will be wrong as the volume to surface rations and position of the elements are mixed up with different signes. Perhaps you can ignore the 2nd order points, you yare in linear elements and you might be able to continue to calculate, with a less denser mesh structure. But you might see that one mesh node moves "trouch the surface of the 3 others (more common perhaps in quad or square elements, then you have a fully inverted mesh elements and the results locally are wrong (sign inversion etc)
Good luck

The genes of the Southern African Bushmen predate the rest of humanity's.
The term Rainbow Nation of South Africa found popular appeal from the moment Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu first used it to capture the multicultural nature of the country.
The original inhabitants were the hunter-gatherer San Bushmen. There are only a few of these people remaining in the Northern Cape, but their rich heritage lives on through their ancient rock art. They remain a proud part of the South Africa's Rainbow Nation.
When the pastoral Khoi appeared 2 000 years ago they brought farming with them. Unlike the San, who did not live in a hierarchical society, the Khoi had a complex social structure. The name Khoisan is an integration of the two names of the first inhabitants of southern Africa.
The next to arrive were black migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, especially from the Great Lakes and Congo regions. They settled mainly in the northern and eastern parts of present-day South Africa and where they came into contact with the Khoisan, they pushed them west into the drier regions of the Northern Cape. These new arrivals morphed into the various South African tribes that thrive today, including Sotho, Tswana, Xhosa and Zulu.
The Rainbow Nation took on more colour when the Dutch arrived in 1652 and the British in the latter part of the 18th century. The Dutch brought slaves from the East Indies, who eventually became the so-called 'coloured' people of South Africa, added to by cross-racial liaisons.
A small but influential French group escaping religious persecution in France arrived in the late 17th century and were assimilated into the Dutch population. They were followed, after the discovery of mineral wealth, by representatives of nearly every society on Earth. And mining and sugar cane farming brought Indians and Chinese, who settled mainly in KwaZulu-Natal and Johannesburg.
For nearly 350 years South Africa history was defined by clashes and racial oppression. But that changed with the first democratic elections of 27 April 1994 when all truly became people of the Rainbow Nation.

The Design of Engineering Material Systems (DEMS) program supports fundamental research intended to lead to new paradigms of design, development, and insertion of advanced engineering material systems. Fundamental research that develops and creatively integrates theory, processing/manufacturing, data/informatics, experimental, and/or computational approaches with rigorous engineering design principles, approaches, and tools to enable the accelerated design and development of materials is welcome.
Research proposals are sought that strive to develop systematic scientific methodologies to tailor the behavior of material systems in ways that are driven by performance metrics and incorporate processing/manufacturing. While an emphasis on a specific material system may be appropriate to provide the necessary project focus, techniques developed should transcend materials systems. Ultimately it is expected that research outcomes will be methodologies to enable the discovery of materials systems with new properties and behavior, and enable their rapid insertion into engineering systems.
Proposals that focus on modeling, simulation, and prediction of material performance (even when research is coupled with experiments for validation or guidance) without an intellectual emphasis on design are not appropriate for this program and should be submitted to other disciplinary programs.

Equilibrium Wrist Watch & Sculpture
It's an ever changing kinetic mobile for your wrist. I designed this watch originally inspired by the artificial horizon instruments on aircraft. But it's constantly changing shapes make it a very graphic, kinetic piece of sculpture for your wrist that's fascinating an the watch's fine white lines provide a sense of perspective to an ever-shifting horizon. The hour and minute hands each feature a round red index which rotates across the black and white dial. The shift of time alters and aligns the dial's symmetry with each passing hour. The Equilibrium watch with black electroplated case features a second hand and is available with either a soft black leather band or a black stainless steel mesh band. Unisex sized case measures 33mm (1 1/3 ").
pretty cool idea. it reveals the current time through a looking glass while the rest of the watch falls under darkness.Tags: fashion, watches, accessories, mobile, sculptures, modern, jewelry, clocks, blackAdded 9 Years Ago from Gizmine

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/8/2014 (1089 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Decapitated twice.
Arm amputated once.
Blown off her pedestal recently.
And festooned with propaganda and sex toys in many separate incidences intended to be either political or funny, or both.
Copenhagen's Little Mermaid statue has led a tough, interesting and charmed life.
After all, this 175 kilogram, 1.25-metre tall bronze statue is the Danish capital's biggest tourist magnet.
My wife and I meet Den Lille Havfrue, as the Danes call her, mid-point on a Red Buses double-decker hop-on hop-off tour.
Usually we avoid such tours because they are cliché, a way to only scratch the surface and not truly experience a city. But, circumstances dictate we have limited time in Copenhagen, the result of a six-hour stopover en route to Athens to catch a Star Clipper cruise to Istanbul.
The overnight Air Canada flight to Copenhagen from Toronto in business class means we've laid our seats flat into a bed and arrived refreshed and ready to tackle the city in the time allotted.
So rather than stay at the airport killing time, eating bland food and shopping unnecessarily, we head off to befriend the Little Mermaid.
It takes a bit of planning and realization that a six-hour stopover does not translate into half-a-dozen hours in the city.
After landing on time at 10:29 a.m. in Copenhagen on an Air Canada from Toronto, we clear customs within 20 minutes. By 11:10 a.m. our luggage is off our hands in a storage locker. At 11:30 a.m we board the train to Copenhagen city centre and arrive 10 minutes later at main station, Frihedsstotten. Buy tickets for the Red Buses hop-on hop-off tour and snag prime seats on the top near the front for the noon departure.
Once underway, we roll by Copenhagen's biggest attractions in quick succession.
Tivoli Gardens, billed as the original amusement park dating from 1853, has swaths of green space and rides including a retro roller-coaster.
Then there's the New Carlsberg Glyotek Art Gallery; National Museum; Town Hall; Rosenborg Palace, where the Crown jewels are on display; and the moat-ringed Old Citadel.
At 12:30 p.m. it's the marquée stop and hop-off at the canal-side Langelinie promodade where the Little Mermaid is perched. A horde has gathered, urging loved ones to jump the water barriers onto the rocks beside the mermaid for that perfect photo.
We're also brought up to speed on the fairy tale of Danish author Hans Christian Anderson, who penned The Little Mermaid in 1837.
The story goes she gave away her beautiful singing voice to have legs to pursue the prince she loved, but the prince married another.
In 1989, the Disney movie gave The Little Mermaid a happy ending with her landing the prince.
By the way, the statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen of the Carlsberg beer family and sculptor Edvard Erikson modelled her on ballerina Ellen Price, who played the Little Mermaid in a production at the Copenhagen National Theatre and Jacobsen's wife
Back on the bus, we pass the cruise-ship terminal where there's another mermaid statue, this one made of granite and controversial for its over-sized breasts.
All along the way we admire Copenhagen's low-slung architecture, both the historic brick buildings and the Scandinavian-cool contemporary structures.
Copenhagen is often billed as the happiest city on Earth. And on this sunny day its not hard to imagine why: Everyone is riding their bike, lounging in a park or nibbling and sipping at a sidewalk cafe.
Everyone also seems to be blond, tall, slim, tanned and good-looking and content to be living in a beautiful city where social programs and amenities abound and crime is almost non-existant.
While quality of life is high, so is the cost of living, think the equivalent of $100 for a nice lunch for two with a glass of wine.
The tour finishes off breezing by Gefion Fountain, Copenhagen's biggest; Amalienborg Palace, home of Queen Margrethe II and her hubby, Prince Henrik; the Nyhavn neighbourhood of sidewalk cafés lining canals; and the Hans Christian Anderson statue.
Back on the train to the airport we know we've just had a Copenhagen taste and tease and will have to come back soon for the full-meal deal.
Air Canada now flies Toronto to Copenhagen daily year-round.

Hello Python-forum.org
As with most things it is necessity that has brought/forced me to consider switching my modelling from excel (I know I know, it just kind of evolved this way) to python.
My previous project using excel, was modelling the likelihood of getting different types of cancer, there were a huge number of parameters and I had a very large number of patients record/history. I believe I pushed excel close to its limit with an excel file in excess of 500 mb and would run solver based evolutionary algorithms for weeks at a time in order to increase the accuracy of the prediction. However as I am sure you are all aware (or perhaps not?) using excel is a mile from ideal, the sheet became unstable as a result of the size I believe and because of the time required to perform the iterations using the evolutionary algorithm the addition of further parameters to enhance the predictive capabilities was averted.
So my questions to the Python coders community are these:
Is Python the correct platform to undertake this project?
Can python be used as a database and then particular queries called in order to analyse them?
Is it realistic for someone who is just starting in python to undertake a project like this?
Please feel free to add any notes to your thoughts on this topic, or words of guidance, or possibly the way in which you feel i should go about said problem.
Many thanks,

How to Store Potatoes?
What's the best way to store potatoes so they don't grow or get wimpy?
Storing Potatoes in Doubled Paper Grocery Bags
Here's how I store potatoes a few weeks without them sprouting. As soon as I get them home from the store, I take them out of the original packaging and put them in a doubled, paper grocery bag. Then fold the top down several times and clip it shut with two clothespins. Works great for me!

Storing Potatoes with an Apple
Place any kind of apple in with your potatoes in a cool dark place. This will keep them from sprouting. If you have a large quantity of potatoes, two apples may work better when storing potatoes.
Keep Them from Heat and Humidity
I like storing potatoes in my pantry. I live in Florida. I place them in a metal pan and spread them out with space around them, keeping them low to the floor so they stay cooler. In the north, I would store the same way in a cool basement.
Keep them away from heat and humidity. Make sure you smell them before purchasing, as a smelly bag will mean spoilage very soon. Do not store potatoes in the fridge.
Potatoes Are a Way of Life for Her
I am of Irish descent and potatoes were a way of life for us growing up. Here is what I've learned about storing potatoes and my potatoes last a long time.
- First, take care in selecting potatoes at the store. Make sure that there is no moisture. Check the eyes for beginning sprouts. And make sure that there are absolutely no soft or damaged spots. Also, make sure there is no green tint as that means too much sun exposure, which produces a harmful substance that can be toxic.
- Always take the potatoes out of the plastic bag. Plastic keeps moisture in, which promotes mold. If possible, I keep them on a shelf in a cool dark place with a tiny amount of space between each potato. Therefore, if one starts to go bad, it doesn't spoil the others. If space is at a minimum, then a wire basket will do. It allows circulation of air.
- A basement or cellar is best if the temperature stays a consistent 55 degrees.
- Never store near or beside onions, as they have significant moisture. Potatoes need to be stored in a dry atmosphere.
Now, bake, stuff, mash, fry or scallop and enjoy your potatoes anytime!
Storing Potatoes in Layers
Potatoes are affected by too hot or too cold household temperatures. Therefore, in the summer, I may have to put them in the lower level/basement. I have found that I can store ten pounds underneath my kitchen sink by layering them with newspaper in a rectangular plastic cleaning bucket or wastebasket. I start the first layer by talking two full sheets of newspaper, opening them up, and pressing down into the bucket so that it covers the bottom and extends up both sides. I place a single layer of potatoes on the paper. Then both sides are folded over the potatoes as insulation. Then I do another layer with two more sheets of newspaper, encasing the potatoes. A third layer is the last for the size of my container. I check each potato for sprouts before they go in and, of course, for any that might have bad spots that would spoil. Each time I need potatoes, I lift out what I need and also lift the next two layers quickly, checking to be sure none are starting to spoil. The newspaper seems to keep out any excess moisture, which makes them go bad. By checking, I can quickly remove any that are going bad before the entire layer is affected.
And, I go one step further by also using that container to store my three-pound bag of onions. Each onion is wrapped in a sheet of newspaper and placed on top of the potato layers.
If I have red, white, and yellow onions, I mark the red with a black pen so I know what I'm getting without unwrapping all of the onions. I've read you shouldn't store potatoes and onions together, but isolating one from the other with newspaper seems to take care of any mingling problems. Now I rarely have more than one or two vegetables go bad.

For the Forgotten Potato…
Store potatoes in a cool, dry place away from the light. I have a bin in a cupboard that's away from the dishwasher, as the dishwasher puts out a lot of heat. Line the bottom of the bin with newspaper or old paper bags to reduce moisture buildup. Don't put raw potatoes in the fridge, as they go slimy quicker. Try not to buy too many, though it's tempting to stock up.
One time I had a shriveled potato that had grown shoots, so I cut it into pieces (one shoot per piece) and planted them in the garden, as it was late spring. By September, I was able to dig up the resulting plants. Each piece produced a meal's worth of new potatoes for our family of three (about 10-12 little potatoes on each plant), so save this idea for spring if you happen to find a forgotten potato at the bottom of the bin!

Mike Lensman (epagan1781 at gmail dot com) created the Oxidilogi alphabet to write a conlang he's currently working on. The shapes of the letters are based on the 'Phags-pa script. The name of the alphabet is a working title based on the Greek for acid and script. It's called this because the people in the fictional world, which will be built along side the conlang, etched all of their writing into brass or stone using acid.

Alastair Cook insists he and returning head coach Peter Moores will be free to forge a new England without undue influence from Andy Flower.
Moores, who was sacked from the same job in 2009 after less than two years in charge, will join captain Cook in attempting to reinvigorate a side that has limped to the lowest of ebbs this winter.
The task in front of the pair is a sizeable one, with a raft of decorated senior players having exited the stage and a winter of dreadful results - including an Ashes whitewash - to put right.
Flower, having resigned from his role as team director following the debacle Down Under, remains on the England and Wales Cricket Board's payroll and enjoys good relations with both Cook and Moores, under whom he worked as batting coach before inheriting the top job.
The exact scope of Flower's new post, technical director of elite coaching, is not yet clear but Cook is clear that the rebuilding of the senior England side will be squarely down to him and Moores.
"Look, I think it's going to be our team," said Cook.
"Certainly we have to work very closely together, and I think you see when two (people) work together very well and they build something over a period of time how successful something can be if they're on the same page.
"Obviously me and Mooresy have got to chat about it but I have been consulted throughout the interview process. I'm sure we pretty much sing off the same hymn sheet, otherwise I don't think he would have been appointed.
"Me and (Flower) get on really well and we have been in contact over the last couple of months, working on things with my captaincy, and I think having him as an advisor on that is something he wants to do and I want to do.
"But me and Mooresy have to be totally clear on what we want to do: me and him will steer the ship. Andy won't be making decisions behind our backs."
Cook also suggested that the new regime would be looking to Stuart Lancaster and his England rugby union team for pointers on rebuilding.
When Lancaster took over the national side he did so by injecting new blood, driving home a back-to-basics ethos and breaking down some of the walls his predecessor Martin Johnson had built around the squad.
For an England cricket team that many feel had become suffocated by Flower's intense methods, it could well be a template that Cook and Moores lean on.
"(Look at) the way Peter described it...making people proud of the way we go about our business," said Cook.
"Yes it is a results driven business, we know that, but also the way we communicate with the public.
"The England rugby team has evolved particularly well and it would be wrong not to look at the way they've done that.
"That kind of stuff, the Englishness, the legacy you want to leave behind of the culture we want to create.
"I know they're wishy washy words but it would be wrong for me to say everything before I've sat down with Peter and the players which is the most important thing."
Another sporting side who have rallied from unpromising foundations following a change at the top are Australia.
But while Darren Lehmann has apparently worked wonders in his short time at the helm, Cook believes it would be foolish simply to ape their rivals.
"You've got to give them credit for the way they suddenly changed their brand of cricket. But they did it to their strengths. There's no point us playing the way Australia played because you need those kind of players to do it," he added.
"Obviously Darren Lehmann and Michael Clarke had to be given a lot of credit for recognising the strengths of their side and playing to their strengths, and we're going to have to look at our side and play to their strengths.
"Mooresy has said it's about people feeling comfortable enough to express themselves the way they want. I'm not going to bat like David Warner no matter how many people want me to, that's not going to work. But at the end of the day it's about how many runs you get."
For Cook, Moores' arrival caps a rollercoaster first chapter as skipper and he is now eager to start the next one.
"As a captain I seem to have got rid of two coaches (Flower and Ashley Giles) and a managing director (Hugh Morris). Over 18 months that's quite a lot to deal with.
"We have been in limbo the last couple of months...you have a lot of ideas, talk to a lot of people but you can't actually follow through until the head coach came in.
"Yesterday, when I found who it was, it was a weight off my shoulders. I can now pick up the phone and talk cricket."

Although U.S. pork producer margins remain mired in red ink, the losses eased for the week ending Jan. 11, according to calculations by Sterling Marketing, Vale, Ore. Farrow-to-finish producers lost an average $28.36 per head for the week, a $7 improvement compared to losses of $35.89 reported the week before. One month ago producers were losing $38.53 per head, according to Sterling Marketing estimates.
The February lean hog futures contract for the week ending Jan. 11 was $84.20 per hundredweight, down $2.02 from the previous Friday, according to Ron Plain and Scott Brown, University of Missouri. April hog futures ended the week $2.73 lower at $87.12 per hundredweight. However, producers remain hopeful for a return to profitability later this spring.

In an era of exploding scientific investigation into the effects of diet on human health, cocoa has been singled out for its promising health benefits. In fact, when it comes to science, chocolate enjoys more scientific support than perhaps any other food. More than 2,500 studies—many of them human studies—have investigated the health and nutritional properties of chocolate, with the vast majority of them yielding very favorable findings.The following are just some of the areas of health for which cocoa has been studied, with the approximate number of studies in this area:
Recent studies on cacao have concluded that health benefits were obtained by consuming dark chocolate foods containing 600-900 mg of flavonoids on a regular daily basis. Not surprisingly, all of Xocai's products deliver at least 900 mg of flavonoids per daily serving.
Just a few of the dozens of scientific journals and research institutions that have published research on healthy chocolate:

Corn futures were lower on the close on Friday, but the market clawed back from sharply lower values. It was First Notice Day for the December contract. Many traders were not expecting any delivery notices to be posted against the December contract. Instead, deliveries totaled 246 contracts. Additionally, news of heavy notices for wheat weighed on that market. Both markets have experienced recent rallies on talk of increased demand. The large notices somewhat puncture that popular view. At the close, the December contract was off 3 1/2 cents at $7.48, March was off 6 cents at $7.52 3/4, and December 2013 closed off 3/4 cent at $6.35 1/2.
Soybean prices were lower giving back a portion of recent gains. Some of the soybean weakness may be linked to strong selling pressure in the corn and wheat markets today on news of hefty First Notice Day deliveries. Soybeans don't trade a December contract, so there is no comparison to be made for bean deliveries. The deliveries in the other grains raised questions about export demand in general, which was disappointing in the weekly export sales report. Further, there are reports overnight of China beginning to contract beans from Brazil. At the close, January beans were off 9 1/4 cents at $14.38 3/4 while November 2013 lost 4 3/4 cents at $13.04 1/2.
Wheat prices closed double-digits lower Friday and near the lows of the day. A combination of factors was at work. First the International Grains Council came out after Thursday's close with its first estimate of global wheat acreage for 2013. It put it 2.2% higher than in 2012 and at the highest level in 15 years. Then there was word from India that more than doubled the amount of reserve wheat that country would put on the export market, now offering 4.5 million tonnes instead of just 2 million. And of course, being a Friday, there was profit-taking activity by speculators after strong gains this week. At the close, CBOT March wheat was down 22 cents at $8.63 ½; KCBT March was down 21 ¾ at $9.13 ¼ and MGE March was down 14 ½ at $9.36 ¾.
Live cattle and feeder cattle futures settled lower on Friday. Prices were under pressure all day as some traders closed out positions ahead of the end of the month and the lower prices triggered sell stops under the market. The cash cattle market remained quite through at least the middle of the day Friday and feedlot operators were holding on to offers a little above those received last week. The February live cattle contract settled at $130.40, down $1.70. June was $1.15 lower at $130.78. January feeder cattle prices declined by $1.13 and settled at $145.63.
Lean hog futures settled mixed on Friday. Prices were lower across the board through much of the session but there was a minor rally late in the day. Reports from cash markets showed that prices were continuing to rise, with the national average price close to $80. The pork cutout was down on Thursday, but slaughter on Saturday is expected to be large, probably near 250,000 head. The February contract settled down 20 cents at $86.93, but June managed a 25 cents gain to a new high of $101.53.

A GANG has been jailed for 23-and-a-half years after subjecting a man with learning difficulties to 'horrific' beatings with a cricket bat and metal bar.
Faran Abbas, 18, and Sohail Abbas, 20, and their friends Ross and Christina Walsh, had pretended to be 'vulnerable' disabled victim David Busby's friends.
Instead, Mr Busby, 29, endured a month-long campaign of attacks, which ended with him suffering 14 smashed ribs, a displaced breast bone, a broken collar bone and extensive bruising and whip marks on his arms, thighs, lower back, chest and kidney area.
The judge said Mr Busby had been 'appallingly betrayed' and police said it was a 'horrific case'.
The Abbas brothers, of Midland Street, Accrington, and Ross Walsh, 30, were said by the prosecution to have used the victim like a 'punch bag', and to have got 'some kind of kick from exercising that control'.
Mother-of-three Christina Walsh, 37, meanwhile, watched and did nothing to stop the violence as it was meted out, Burnley Crown Court was told.
The court heard how it was not until Mr Busby's landlord found out about the catalogue of abuse that the victim was taken to Accrington Victoria Hospital for treatment and police were alerted.
The four defendants were found guilty of conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent, between July and August 2011, after a 12- day trial.
Neither Ross and Christina Walsh, both of Hudson Accrington, who are getting divorced, nor their accomplices had any previous convictions.
'Sadistic' Ross Walsh, said to have played the leading role, was locked up for 10 years. Christina Walsh, who still protests her innocence, was sent to prison for five years, father-to-be Sohail Abbas got five years and Faran Abbas, who wants to be a motor mechanic and whose involvement was described by a judge as 'bordering on inexplicable', got three and a half years behind bars.
Sentencing, Judge Andrew Woolman said Mr Busby was subjected to appalling violence by the three male defendants and the photographs of his injuries were 'truly appalling'.
The judge said:" Mr Busby has sustained dreadful psychological harm which he hasn't quite got the wit to recognise, but undoubtedly the trust he placed in the Walshes, in particular, was appallingly betrayed."
The judge said Ross Walsh played the leading role in what went on. He told the defendant: "You behaved in a particularly sadistic way in degrading him down in the cellar."
After the case DC Helen Mercer from Accrington CID said: "This was a horrific case where a vulnerable man with learning difficulties has been subjected to mental, financial and physical abuse resulting in multiple fractures and severe bruising.
"There are no words to describe what they did. It has been extremely distressing for the man and I would like to commend his bravery throughout the trial."

Germany's Evonik Industries (in the U.S., Evonik Degussa Corp., Parsippany, N.J.) has resumed full operation of its reconstructed CDT (cyclododecatriene) feedstock plant at the Marl site, less than a year after it was destroyed by fire and explosion. That event precipitated a global shortage of nylon 12, which is based on CDT, and a flurry of activity to find acceptable substitutes for nylon 12 in automotive applications (see June '12 Starting Up). According to Gregor Hetzke, president of Evonik's Performance Polymers Business Unit, the plant is now producing, without any limitation, CDT and CDT-based Vestamid products, including nylon 12.

Top 10 matches in Mick Foley's WWE career!!
by, 01-31-2013 at 12:00 AM (10303 Views)
After making top 10 moment blog with Foley....decided to follow up with top 10 matches in his career. This time, I decided to be a bit more specific because folks really were hard on me for not featuring stuff from Japan. I'm sure they will expect the same here which is why I decided just to make this a WWE blog of just his WWE career. Didn't see much WCW, ECW, or Japan matches. I've seen a few Vader, Sting, Sabu, Sandman, among others o. Havn't seen a match or watched a Japan wrestling show in my life. I've seen highlights of matches he had with Terry Funk in Japan, but how can you rank it if you didn't see the match. So let's hope this is received better from all of you. Here you go, Top 10 matches in Mick Foley's WWE career which began the day after WM12.
10.vsStone Cold Over the Edge 98-Starting this off with a Dude Love match that brings back a lot of memories. This is the match where Vince was the ref, but at the end Austin counted for Vince while he was out.
9.vs HHH No Way Out 00-A HIAC vets first HIAC match HHH vs Cactus Jack. Great story telling and ending to one of Foley's best feuds in WWE. Concept, Cactus said he was going to jump off the top of the cell on to HHH. Doors began locked, but after aiming for HHH's head he got his way out to put on another classic with HHH.
8.vs The Rock St.Valentine's Day Massacre 99-A match that is overlooked between Rock and Mankind happened in their Last Man Standing match. Everyone wants to talk about the empty arena match or the I Quit. This Last Man Standing match was great as well as it ended in a draw.
7.vs HBK In your House 96-A rare match between HBK and Mick Foley. Wish both could have worked a longer program together, but Mick had a great performance in this match. Started the night with a great promo to make sure he was booed in front of a ECW town.
6.& Edge vs Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer One Night Stand 06-I'd proclaim this more of a WWE match than ECW even though it was Extreme Rules with a great performance that stole the show. 1 of the last big stage matches for Terry. Having fire is something WWE fans arn't used to, but Edge and Mick did use it during their match at WM22. Great heel ending with Edge's spear on Buelah.
5.vs Edge WM22-Named match of year in 2006. Need I say more?
4.vs Randy Orton Backlash 04-Probably still Orton's best match he ever had in his career to date. Loved the feud these two had as well.
3.vs HHH Royal Rumble 00-One of the best matches in boths career along with being one of the best matches in the history of the Royal Rumble. Putting over another young heel is something Mick did best.
2.vs The Rock Royal Rumble 99-In my opinion, the best and most memorable match in the history of the Royal Rumble. When you think "I Quit" you think Rock vs Foley.
1.vs Taker King of the Ring 98-How can anyone argue with this placement? No, Mick was never a great technical wrestler, but he put his body on the line. He gained the respect of the fans that night and became a main event talent.
There you have it!! The top 10 matches in Mick Foley's WWE career. Did I miss any? What is your top 10? How'd I do? Leave that in the comment section below. Thanks for reading....hope you enjoyed!!

• Ryan Callahan tallied one goal and added a power play assist to capture second star honors. He leads the Rangers in scoring with 11 goals and 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) in 19 games since returning from injury on Feb. 1, including 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in the last 14 contests.

• Erik Christensen recorded his fourth multi-point effort of the season, including a power play goal at 14:52 of the first period and the primary assist on Gaborik's third period goal. He has now registered at least one point in five of his last seven games (five goals, four assists over the span).
• Brandon Prust opened the game's scoring with a shorthanded goal at 3:47 of the first period. He is now tied for the league lead with a career-high, five shorthanded goals on the season.

Prospal's seven-game point streak ties the Rangers' season-high, previously set by Ryan Callahan from Oct. 21 at Toronto to Nov. 1 vs. Chicago (four goals, seven assists).
• Ryan McDonagh and Brandon Dubinsky each registered an assist on Prust's shorthanded goal at 3:47 of the first period. McDonagh also led all skaters with a season-high, six hits. Dubinsky is tied for eighth in the NHL with four shorthanded points on the season (two goals, two assists).

John Tortorella on the power play… "I think for the last little while it has been okay. I think it has come along. I think we have people making key plays. Zuc (Mats Zuccarello) made some key plays on the power play. Caber (Bryan McCabe) made some plays – obviously the goal. Vinny Prospal makes plays that not too many guys can make. Guys have made plays. We have had the puck more and I thought that was the key tonight."
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game… "We created a lot of scoring chances. In the second period we started off a little bit on our heels. It was an important time when the power play came up. It was a big win."
Marian Gaborik on coming back home after the road trip… "We had a hard skate yesterday. It was good to get the jetlag out of our system and it was good to come out hard."

Unlike other Java to Objective-C solutions, Java-Objective-C Bridge doesn't require any code generation of class stubs. It allows you to use any Objective-C libraries and frameworks from Java without having to write any native code. In addition to being able to use Objective-C objects, it allows you to pass Java objects to the objective-c runtime as delegates, so that you can write an entire Cocoa application in Java. The bridge provides 3 levels of abstraction. At the lowest level, it provides wrappers around the Objective-C runtime functions. At a slightly higher level of abstraction, it provides a procedural API to send messages to the Objective-C runtime. At the highest level of abstraction, it provides a Proxy class that serves as a wrapper around any Objective-C object that allows you to work with it in Java almost the same as if you were in Objective-C.

I can't believe I've been blogging for 3 years now. It really seems just like yesterday. Back then, I would have never imagined to be where I am today.
I'm not at all on blogger celebrity status. In fact, probably not even close. LOL. But, I do love what I do and what I get to experience. I consider myself very blessed.
Last week, I was invited to attend Latina Magazine's 15th anniversary party by COVERGIRL. I've been reading this magazine since it was first published. So, this was very exciting for me.
I kind of waited until the last minute to buy my dress. I wanted a very simple LBD. I found this dress over at Torrid and paired it jewlery from Aldo and shoes from Torrid. My makeup is all COVERGIRL, especially the lipstick. It's Ruby Slipper from the Queen Collection.
I just happened to get my make-up touched up by Artemis, the Beauty Editor of Plus Model Magazine. She's super sweet and couldn't believe this was our first time meeting in person. I even got to hang out with Cid from CidStyleFile.com. Love that chick!
I had an amazing night…check out a few pictures below.
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I did receive complimentary admission to this event and a gift bag. The above is my true and honest opinion.

"Creationism is flooding the earth - start worrying now" said the front cover of New Scientist 22 April 2000. Their special report on creationism consisted of four articles including an interview with Tom Willis, head of the Kansas based Creation Science Association for Mid-America. The secular press allowed a creationist to speak for himself and the article (p.40) should be read by all. Another article, introduced as "Fighting Talk, How to argue the case for evolution" is an interview with Dr. Eugenie Scott, head of the anti-creation National Center for Science Education, where she advised evolutionists to refuse to debate creationists (p.47) and complained about getting raw deals on radio. Australian geologist, Ian Plimer, complains about his court losses against creationist Dr Allen Roberts.
Editorial Comment: Eugenie Scott is also well known to Creation Research as she received a "raw deal" from a Nashville USA radio talkback/debate with John Mackay in Nashville USA in 1999. The result was a good deal for creation as the secular station has played the debate program several times since.

You may have gotten over themed spots after your tenth birthday party (um, hello, Princess Tea Party Fest), but they're actually great for some old-fashioned adult fun, too. Hotels across the world have fabulously themed bars that run the gamut from classy to trashy. We've shuffled through the clutter to find the top hotel bars that, despite (or because) of being themed, are super cool. Check out all of our favorites.
Stables Bar, The Milestone Hotel; London (pictured above)
Located in the luxurious Milestone Hotel — perhaps the most famous boutique hotel in London — Stables Bar embraces an over-the-top horse theme that only Londoners can truly appreciate or understand. (As you may know, Londoners love their horses almost as much as they love their dogs.) The split-level bar, decorated with rich green tartan upholstery and mahogany-paneled walls, has tons of riders' paraphernalia including horse murals and paintings, bridles, saddles, needle-point horse pillows and even a somewhat terrifying jockey mannequin. Needless to say, the bar takes its former use as a carriage house very seriously. Stables also has satellite TVs for viewing sporting events and an exclusive list of champagnes and cocktails.
Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar, Argonaut Hotel; San Francisco
The entire Argonaut Hotel sports a nautical theme and the Blue Mermaid is no different, with mermaid statues, waiters clad in striped shirts, mounted lifesavers and helms, and even rowboats hanging from the ceiling. The bar scene here is more laid-back, with many patrons coming in for the award-winning chowder and seafood rather than the cocktails (although plenty of those are ordered too).
Library Bar, Hudson Hotel; New York City
Though the Library Bar isn't the celeb favorite it once was back when the Hudson Hotel opened in 2000, the Philippe Starck-designed bar remains popular — especially during the warmer months when its cavernous atmosphere (comfy leather sofas, a fireplace and chess tables) makes for a nice retreat from the summer heat.
Hooters Restaurant and Bar, Hooters Casino Hotel; Las Vegas
You gotta love a bar where the motto is "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" and the theme is basically ogling. The restaurant serves your typical bar fare (although some swear by the wings) and classic rock pumps out over the PA system. Open 24/7, this Hooters location is best known for its Wednesday Wingsday specials.
Alibi, Liberty Hotel; Boston
Housed in a former jailhouse, the cavernous Alibi bar takes full advantage of its roots; iron-barred doors lead to the sexy bar and the walls are hung with celebrity mug shots (Sinatra, Morrison and Nolte). You may even spot a celeb yourself; Cameron Diaz and A-Rod shacked up at the hotel when they were still hot and heavy, and the bar is known for being a see-and-be-seen hotspot.
Chandelier Bar, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
More Vegas monstrosity than intimate bar, the Chandelier takes up three levels of the Cosmopolitan, and each floor offers up its own take on the Vegas lounge scene. However, all levels have fabulously ornate chandeliers and the bar is a great spot to plant yourself for a laid-back (but still over-the-top Vegas-y) night out.
Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, The Fairmont San Francisco
Dating back to 1945, the Tonga Room features faux straw huts, a floating band and what it claims is the best mai tai in San Francisco (served in a fake coconut, natch). Where it presumably took itself seriously half a century ago, the Tonga Room now revels in its kitschiness, and has become a city institution despite — or maybe because of — its anachronistic placement within the Fairmont.
Carousel Bar, Hotel Monteleone; New Orleans
Monteleone's legendary Carousel Bar, which — just like a carousel — slow-spins cocktail drinkers past a bank of windows facing Royal Street, is only a block from the French Quarter nightlife. Yet, it has an other-worldly feel with its antique, circus-like decor. Make sure to ask for the hotel's signature Monteleone Cocktail, a citrus-spiked whiskey.
Nashville Waikiki, Ohana Waikiki West; Hawaii
Hovering a step above Hooters on the tacky scale, this joint attempts to bring Midwest mainland to the island of Hawaii. And hey, it succeeds. The Nashville Waikiki has a honky-tonk vibe with plenty of cowboy hats, dartboards, blackjack tables, country music, bullfighting tournaments shown on multiple-screen monitors and American pride (and American beer). Plus, it's Honolulu's only country-themed bar. It even offers free line-dancing lessons twice a week.
