Boylen officially joins staff; Brown stays for now
Updated 10:11 pm, Friday, June 28, 2013
The Spurs formally added Jim Boylen to their staff Friday, tabbing the former Indiana assistant to fill Mike Budenholzer's spot on the team's coaching roster, if not his role as lead assistant.
That job will go to Brett Brown, general manager R.C. Buford said, provided Brown doesn't get one of the head-coaching jobs that remain up for grabs.
Brown, 52, has been linked to openings in Denver, Philadelphia and Boston. The Nuggets' post has since been filled by Brian Shaw, and Buford indicated that reports Brown had accepted the 76ers' job were premature.
A member of coach Gregg Popovich's staff since 2002, Brown began his tenure in San Antonio as a player development coach before being promoted to the bench in 2006-07. He also has been the head coach of the Australian national team, leading the Boomers to a quarterfinals finish at the 2012 London Olympics.
Brown is the longest-tenured assistant left on Popovich's bench after Budenholzer became coach in Atlanta.
The Spurs filled their vacancy with Boylen, who has 27 years of coaching experience, including 17 at the NBA level. He spent the past two seasons working under Frank Vogel in Indiana.
Sports Channel
Prior to joining the Pacers, Boylen was the head coach at the University of Utah from 2007-11 and served as an assistant under Tom Izzo at Michigan State.
Diaw to return: Boris Diaw will be back with the Spurs next season.
The 31-year-old French forward informed the team Friday of his plans to opt into the final season of his contract, agent Doug Neustadt said.
Diaw, who will earn a little more than $4.7 million in 2013-14, averaged 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 75 games (starting 20) last season.

At the close of Week 6, One Piece has remained bulletproof atop the standings. If he were streaking toward the end zone, he'd be watching himself on the Jumbotron and considering whether to start high-stepping now or in another 10 yards.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Entering this season, everyone (including this humble narrator) was weary of Dirk Nowitzki, which is a weird thing to be for a healthy reigning NBA Finals MVP. I saw him drop deep into the second round in more than a couple drafts.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Roy Hibbert, the giraffe-half of Indy's starting front court earned his ninth double-double of the season (18/14, with four blocks). After his first 20 games last season, Hibbs only had seven dub-dubs. What's that suggest? Nothing special. Why mention it, then?Please, blog, may I have some more?

Uncle Tom's Cabin was initially released in serial format in the National Era, a weekly newspaper, from June 5, 1851-April 1, 1852.
See HERE for the text of Uncle Tom's Cabin as originally released in The National Era. You will find each chapter, followed by scholarly commentary, and links to Stowe's A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin and related materials.

Click HERE to visit the award-winning website, Uncle Tom's Cabin: Generating a Rising
Tide of Responsibility to End the Institution of Slavery. Two eight-grade students from
Cleveland, Ohio created the site which placed 4th in the nation at the 2014 National History
Day and won a Chronicling America Award from the Library of Congress and National
Endowment for the Humanities.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's best known novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), changed forever how Americans viewed slavery, the system that treated people as property. It demanded that the United States deliver on the promise of freedom and equality, galvanized the abolition movement and contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. The book calls on us to confront the legacy of race relations in the U.S. as the title itself became a racial slur.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was a runaway best-seller, selling 10,000 copies in the United States in its first week; 300,000 in the first year; and in Great Britain, 1.5 million copies in one year. It resonates with an international audience as a protest novel and literary work.
LEARN how Stowe encouraged President Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
As a young wife and mother living in Cincinnati, Harriet Beecher Stowe met former and fugitive enslaved people. Cincinnati, then the western frontier of the United States, was an ethnically and culturally vibrant city. On the Ohio River across from Kentucky, a slave state, the city exposed Stowe to the public face of slavery.
Stowe knew about slavery before she moved to Ohio. Her own grandmother kept African American servants who had probably originally been enslaved, and her father had preached in favor of the colonization movement, supporting the creation of Liberia as a settling point for freed people. But in Ohio, Stowe heard first hand stories from former enslaved people; witnessed slavery while visiting Kentucky; and employed fugitives in her home. When Harriet and Calvin learned that their servant was actually a runaway in danger of being returned to slavery, Calvin and Harriet's brother Henry Ward Beecher helped her escape and reach Canada and legal freedom.
Stowe also learned that even the discussion of slavery could divide a community when students at her father's school, Lane Seminary, rioted after anti-slavery debates were forbidden.
On September 18, 1850, the U.S. Congress passed the Compromise of 1850. Although intended to address the concerns of slave holding and free states, and thus preserve the Union, historians disagree whether the Compromise diffused or fortified sectional interests. There is no doubt, however, that it helped galvanize the abolition movement and clarify Stowe's personal stance on slavery.
Among the provisions of the Compromise of 1850 were the end of the slave trade, but not slavery, in Washington D.C., and the creation of a new, stricter, Fugitive Slave Law. Helping runaways had been illegal since 1793, but the 1850 law required that everyone, law enforcers and ordinary citizens, help catch fugitives. Those who refused to assist slave-catchers, or aided fugitives, could be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for six months.
It also eliminated what little legal protection fugitives once had. Before 1850, some northern states had required slave-catchers to appear before an elected judge and be tried by a jury which would determine the validity of a claim. After the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, anyone could be taken from the street, accused of being a fugitive from slavery, and taken before a federally appointed commissioner who received $5 for every fugitive released and $10 for every one sent south. Free blacks and anti-slavery groups argued the system bribed commissioners to send kidnapped people into slavery, and obliged citizens to participate in the slavery system.
Stowe was furious. She believed the country was requiring her complicity in a system she thought was unjust and immoral. Living in Brunswick, ME while Calvin Stowe taught at Bowdoin College, Stowe disobeyed the law by hiding runaways. When she shared her frustrations and feelings of powerlessness with her family, her sister-in-law Isabella Porter Beecher suggested she do more: "...if I could use a pen as you can, Hatty, I would write something that would make this whole nation feel what an accursed thing slavery is."
Moved by the letter, Stowe swore she would "if [she] lived."
The first installment of Uncle Tom's Cabin appeared on June 5, 1851 in the anti-slavery newspaper, The National Era. Stowe enlisted friends and family to send her information and scoured freedom narratives and anti-slavery newspapers for first hand accounts as she composed her story. In 1852 the serial was published as a two volume book. Uncle Tom's Cabin was a best seller in the United States, Britain, Europe and Asia, and was translated into over 60 languages
In 2012, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center Executive Director Katherine Kane lent expertise to a NEWS STORY about an archeological site related to former slave Josiah Henson. Harriet Beecher Stowe used Henson's story, along with that of other slaves, to develop the character of Uncle Tom in her famous antislavery novel.
Uncle Tom's Cabin opens on the Shelby plantation in Kentucky as two enslaved people, Tom and 4-year old Harry, are sold to pay Shelby family debts. Developing two plot lines, the story focuses on Tom, a strong, religious man living with his wife and 3 young children, and Eliza, Harry's mother.
When the novel begins, Eliza's husband George Harris, unaware of Harry's danger, has already escaped, planning to later purchase his family's freedom. To protect her son, Eliza runs away, making a dramatic escape over the frozen Ohio River with Harry in her arms. Eventually the Harris family is reunited and journeys north to Canada.
Tom protects his family by choosing not to run away so the others may stay together. Sold south, he meets Topsy, a young, black girl whose mischievous behavior hides her pain; Eva, the angelic, young, white girl whose death moved Victorians to tears; charming, elegant but passive St. Clare; and finally, cruel, violent Simon Legree. Tom's deep faith gives him an inner strength that frustrates his enemies as he moves toward his fate in Louisiana.
The novel ends when both Tom and Eliza escape slavery: Eliza and her family reach Canada; but Tom's freedom comes with death. Simon Legree, Tom's third and final master, has Tom whipped to death for refusing to deny his faith or betray the hiding place of two fugitive women.

Distorted Financial Incentives for Enforcement
Ever wonder why police spend so much time enforcing failed drug laws? To find the answer, you just need to follow the money.
Funding schemes and asset forfeiture laws have given law enforcement agencies strong financial incentives to continue the drug war. Because funding for drug task forces is often based on the number of arrests made and the amount of property seized in drug busts, the easiest way for local police to up their numbers and boost their careers is to target low-level drug offenders, not violent kingpins. To create arrest opportunities, police routinely rely on untrustworthy informants, conduct dangerous home invasions on flimsy evidence, frame suspects and commit perjury.
Asset forfeiture laws allow law enforcement agencies to seize property with minimal proof, putting the burden instead on suspects to prove their own innocence. Because these assets often go straight into the coffers of the enforcement agency, these laws have created financial incentives for property seizures that encourage corruption.
DPA is working to end distorted drug war incentives that foster police corruption and encourage good cops to make bad decisions.

A GIANT stork living at Birdland in Bourton-on-the-Water is looking for a mate after losing his 17-year-old female partner.
The huge male marabou stork's species is believed to have the largest wingspan in the world, and is also known as the 'undertaker bird' due to its slow walk, cloak-like wings and thin white legs. His keepers are keen to find him a new partner.
"Storks are certainly not the most attractive of birds," said head keeper at Birdland Alistair Keen. "They mostly eat rotting meat and they do have the rather unfortunate habit of urinating down their own legs to keep themselves cool.
"However I'm sure none of this would put off another marabou and we're hoping to find him a suitable suitor soon."
Marabous eating human rubbish have been seen to devour virtually anything that they can swallow, including shoes and pieces of metal. The stork at Birdland has been seen catching large trout for his dinner from the river which runs through its aviary.
Birdland features more than 500 birds in a mix of free-flying and aviary displays.

Hi all,I have a jquery slider in a template that I am using, I have some CSS and HTML knowledge, but my jquery is minimal. How do i slow down the slider? I am presuming it is in the jquery code but which timing #'s do I change?Thanks in advance,M.
There is often a parameter that you can pass to the slider upon initialization which determines at what interval the picture changes.Is it possible to post a link to the page where I can see the slider in question?
It is a HTML template: http://www.flashmint.com/show-template-4230.html I don't have my site up yet. Thanks for the help.M.
Hi there,I don't see a slider on that page.Do you mean the siding images grid on the demo page?
Yes, If you view the demo it is the slider on the home page.Thanks,M.
There is no easy way to do what you want, I'm afraid.The slider on the demo page is embedded in an iframe.The iframe is located here: http://demo.themedev.me/site_templates/indelight/If you pull that page apart, you can see a script called "script.js" being referenced.
The timing of the slider is controlled by this bit of code in script.js:
function run_slider1() {
slider_height = $('.main_slider').height();
slider_hid_height = slider_height - $('.main_slider_hidder').height()-img_height;
$('.main_slider').animate({left : max_slider_left+'px'},1000);
setTimeout("$('.main_slider').animate({top: '-'+slider_hid_height+'px'},500)",3000);
setTimeout("$('.main_slider').animate({left: '0px'},1000)",5000);
setTimeout("$('.main_slider').animate({top : '0px'},500)",8000);
Try playing around with the numbers to see what effect they have.I tried doubling all of them and this seemed to slow things down to a considerably less hectic speed.
Not sure if this helps ...
Thanks for your help I will try it out!M.
You're welcome

VholdR ContourHD Camera
The world's first high definition wearable camcorder has finally arrived on the scene. The ContourHD combines lightweight design and rugged durability into this versatile and easy to use camera. Unbeatable quality and true HD capabilities secure this cameras position at the head of the helmet camera market, enabling you to stay focused on the path ahead.
Product Description
The ContourHD Action Sports Camera
With such clean and crisp High Definition video, why film with anything but the ContourHD helmet cam?
The Contour HD Camera now comes with Firmware Upgrade (Version 1.34). Now you can alter the audio and video settings on your ContourHD camera effortlessly. This firmware allows you to configure the video bitrate, while enabling you to adjust the lighting contrast, exposure values, sharpness and light metering as your shots dictate. You are also able to fine-tune the microphone sensitivity, so you can capture the sound you want, and minimize the sounds you don't. This latest update improves the compatibility with certain 8GB MicroSD cards, including MaxFlash brand cards. With all these improved features, you can now spend more time creating awesome footage, and less time editing.
In the past, Point of View helmet cameras had a specific goal of providing a convenient method of filming, rather than capturing high quality video. Our cameras could easily mount anywhere, granting riders the freedom of hands free filming during their extreme runs, tricks and jumps. The issue was simply this: the video quality had barely enough resolution to be clearly viewed on YouTube. But we have changed all that with the introduction of The ContourHD wearable camera. Now crisp HD video footage and small, lightweight mountable filming equipment go hand in hand, capturing the thrill of the ride in crystal clarity.
Incredible, High Resolution Video Quality
Prior to the release of the ContourHD, our cameras filmed at a maximum resolution of 640x480. How things have changed... the ContourHD outputs at an insane resolution of 1280x720 at 30 FPS, creating breathtaking, high quality, clean and crisp playback! In addition, the high action mode shoots 848x480 at 60 FPS capturing unbelievably smooth action recordings! Now you can relive the rush again and again in pristine, DVD quality video.
A Wider Lens to Fit the Entire Scene
When it comes to filming action sports, you know how important every angle of view can be. You will never have to compromise another shot, because the ContourHD camera boasts a built-in wide angle lens. With an impressive 135° angle of view, you capture everything you want in the frame, without compromising for distortion of the landscape. This is of high importance when filming high speed, action packed scenarios, and provides a video experience that really lends a sense of being right in the middle of the action. So impress your audience with your wicked production quality, as well as with your insane riding skills.
Light Weight Equipment That Won't Hold You Back
Weighing in at a mere 4 ounces, this small, lightweight helmet camera will never drag down your performance. Plus you can mount it pretty much anywhere, making it one of the most rugged and versatile cameras on the market. And because of it's durable, waterproof aluminum casing, the only thing preventing you from filming in even the most extreme conditions, is you.
Built with the rugged, outdoorsy types in mind, the ContourHD is encased in an armor of tough, anodized aluminum. This camera was designed to take a fall, as it is shock, vibration and impact resistant. In addition, you are free to hit the trails in any weather condition, as the body is water resistant. Take a run of the mill camera out in the sleet, rain or snow, and you are just asking for trouble! But when you have the right equipment, you're never held back from capturing even the sickest of tricks.
You've got No Worries With Laser Alignment
You'll never ruin another shot again, not when you have lasers to level the recording out for you! The ContourHD has a dual laser system on the front lens housing, which pinpoints and corrects the subject location and camera shooting level. Now you are free to focus on the adventure playing out in front of you, not the camera recording it.
As Easy to Mount as it is to Operate
What would be the point in building top notch, user friendly cameras, if the mounting systems were complicated? That's where the patented quick and easy trail mount system comes in. Rails along the side of the camera allow you to quickly slide and lock it into place, enabling you to get on with the action and forget about the camera. If you are looking to get even more creative, the ContourHD has loads of mounting options for you to choose from. Be it a flat surface, your goggles, a helmet or even your handlebars...it can be done, leaving you free to capture the most amazing and unique videos you could imagine! The flexibility of this camera will keep the excitement of creating fresh, one of a kind recordings alive.
High Action Recording, as Smooth as Butter
High action scenes are hard to capture, without appearing shaky. But with the ContourHD, you can film your crazy high action at a recording mode of 60 frames per second! Designed for capturing high speed action scenarios, this shooting mode will create seamlessly smooth HD videos of all of your craziest runs.
One Button to Record AND Focus
Contour has really taken the guess work out of filming action sports. The ContourHD has one button right on top, to start and stop recording, as well as to focus. No more groping at your helmet to blindly find the right button... now it's easy to keep your mind focused on the sport... even when wearing bulky, awkward gloves.
Shoot Continuously for Hours
Wires and tapes are a worry of the past, because the ContourHD can produce up to 3 hours of continuous filming off a single, rechargeable lithium battery. Always be on top of your game without being concerned about running low on storage space, the ContourHD can support up to a 16GB MicroSD (SDHC compatible) memory card. In HD mode you are shooting 30min per GB or 60min per GB in SD mode...so you can record hours of stellar footage and edit out what you don't need later.
Simple Editing Software for Every Platform
With the ContourHD, it is as simple as ever to edit, tag and share. Simply connect the camera to your computer, download your videos, clip out what you want to post, and share it online. In seconds, your wicked ride will be available for viewing by anyone...freeing up loads of time for you to get back to filming your stunts.

Customer Reviews
poor Review by dagwodzz
Contour HD test against the Vado HD 2nd Gen
Truth is the Contour HD is SAD! Poor low light video and soft. I don't see how they get away saying its HD.
With some clever thought you can mount the Vado HD 2nd Gen any place you can mount the Contour HD using their mounting systems.
In the end its about the video. The Vado runs circles around the Contour at half the price. (Posted on 12/29/09)
Not SD, but not HD (3.5) Review by DHbiker
Let's start by the obvious : For this price tag, the quality is amazing. It looks a lot better than your standard camcorder and you should get it as it is the best bang for your bucks. Now, the ugly. I used it with the goggle mount while riding downhill / freeride bike and the image is blurry when you look at it frame by frame and the still images you extract for it aren't great (I know, it's not a digital camera). Optical or software image stabilization should be implemented in future version. The goggle mount is tough and never felled, but move with every bumps of the terrain (my goggle strap were tightened a lot to reduce this) and adds to the blurriness of the image. Colors are good, but nothing impressive : I shooted in the woods, at Fall, with a lot of natural lights, and it doesn't come out with that much colors. With that said, I repeat : this product is pretty good, but don't be fooled : it's a cheap near HD helmetcam (720i according to my editing software). I'm looking forward for the ContourHD 1080P and don't regret my purchase. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on this. (Posted on 10/22/09)
good to go Review by nic
Great camera, awesome picture, it takes a little when going in and out of the sun to adjust for the light conditions. As for the wind noise, just use a cap froma bic pen to put over the mike. I notice the record button gets a little sticky with use in dusty conditions. Overall great design and very versatile, long battery life, easy to charge with mini usb, using your car phone charger or laptop. I give it 4+ because there's always room for improvement! (Posted on 10/19/09)

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated August 28th 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: The United States of America is a blessing for the world. If the world loses the US, they would be losing this blessing because the US is a beautiful blessing. It is the country of joyful people, of cheerful, beautiful people. It is the country of people advocating democracy, of people advocating freedoms. Every person has a dream about the US. "Let us be free, let us go there and live freely." Many people have such an aspiration. Now that these people advocate such beauties -and they are physically beautiful as well- they are people who attract attention with their kindness, with their politeness and respect. You've all been to the US.
AYLIN KOCAMAN: Yes Master.
ADNAN OKTAR: You've all been treated very well. You've all been treated with respect, love and kindness. We cannot see this in any other country. Seeing that this is a country of these beauties, a country of love, the world should protect the US, the Islamic countries should protect the US; especially Turkey should protect the US. Let the US be strong, let them be healthy, let their people be happy and cheerful so that they can be able to distribute love and beauty to the world. For instance, it would be remorselessness to hang the US out to dry in this economic crisis. Note that in every single incident everyone comes up and says; "O America, you go and save them!" When asked; "how about you?" they say; "no, I will stay on the sidelines." Afterwards when asked what their opinion about the US is, they say; "the US is the second satan." Well my brother, you keep saying that the US is a satan and then you ask them to go and save others! You say; "O America, are you sleeping?" Well, you go there then. But they say; "We can't go anywhere!" When we ask them "what do think of the US?" they say; "it is the second satan, it is the big satan." And then they say; "Go and save them!" How can satan go save people then? What you are doing is a shame. It is shameful. The US has it's mistakes, that is true; they have their own faults that is correct. Clean them all, set them to one side and keep in mind that their nice characteristics are 90%, bring forth those beautiful aspects and set aside those 10% wrongful aspects. That can only be done by protecting, with compassion, with mercy and love. Give support to their economics, give support to their people, support them in terms of morale, be friends with them and then we can embrace the whole world altogether. Since God gave them good sense, good technology and a good sense of democracy; that is a good thing, that is a ready to use blessing; we need to make good use of that. What would you have done if it were a communist state? What would you have done if it were a dictatorship like North Korea? How nice they are? These people enjoy utmost freedom there. They do not have high walls surrounding their houses, they do not have such protection, they do not have cameras, they don't have this and that so you can enter as ever you like. I mean they do not have such private gardens. When you go visit someone's house, you pass by their garden before you reach the house. I mean they don't say; "this is my private garden, you cannot pass by!" You can pass by their garden as you like, you can be neighborly as you like, you can have conversations with them as you like. Leaving such beautiful people alone and attempting to oppress them saying; "you are the satan, you are evil" would not be compliant with good-conscious. Yet they also say; "Israel is the second satan!" And they say as their second wish; "we will scrape this country and their people off the face of this world! Damn Israel!" May God forbid, when you say "Damn Israel!" to whom are you talking about? You are talking about the Prophet Israel (pbuh). The Prophet Jacob's name is mentioned in the Qur'an as "Israel", Israel is the name given to the Prophet Jacob (pbuh). He is the Prophet Israel (pbuh) and you say, may God forbid, "Damn Israel!" Approach them with love, with compassion. Let Israel be devout, be bountiful, let there be democracy in those lands. If you approach them with compassion they wouldn't have such querulous reaction towards you, you would only see good from them. Look, I have a copy of the Torah here with me. The Torah always speaks about love, compassion and mercy. Why do you not pull these people towards religiousness? The rate of religious people in Israel is only 30% and that is a grave situation. Let us pray that the rate of the religious ones there would be 70-80%. Let Israel be devout, let it be a bountiful country. Let the borders be abolished. Let us rebuild the masjeed of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), let us rebuild the palace of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Let those people be in Jordan as well, let them come to Diyarbakır, let them be everywhere. Why do you want them to be ruined? When you want their ruin, God brings about your ruin as well. God ruins those who want people's ruin. Wish for the happiness of people. Let Russia live in peace. Calling them "Moscovy" or so, these people ask for their ruin as well. Well, why would you want their ruin? China for instance, these people are asking for their ruin. Well, why would you want their ruin? May God give them guidance. Those poor people are being crashed here and there anyway. May God save them, may God not let them in the spirit of persecution, may God not let them near persecution. For instance, we need to make East Turkestan bosom friends with China. May East Turkestan be the place where the most beloved ones of China live. Let Chinese become one of the most beloved ones of the people of East Turkestan. Let religion prevail in China, let Islam spread all over China, let the understanding of modern Islam spread in China and let everyone be happy. And the state of China should not be destroyed, it should remain standing and be permanent. Why should we want them to be destroyed, we would want them to be devout. May China become religious and thus be happy. May God give freedom to East Turkestan as well and may God make them live like brothers with China in peace and tranquility. God would give us victory only if we want these. [If all we have are] Fights, wars, bloodshed, vileness, hanging and chopping up others, God would turn the world into a living Hell. That is not acceptable.

ennui \on-WEE; ON-wee\, noun:
A feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction; dullness and languor of spirits, arising from lack of interest; boredom.
He glanced at his heavily laden bookshelves. Nothing there appealed to him. The ennui seemed to have settled into his very bones.
--Amanda Quick, With This Ring
He was often off sick or playing hooky and suffered from a kind of ennui, a mixture of listlessness and willful melancholy.
--Elisabeth Roudinesco, Jacques Lacan (Translated by Barbara Bray)
Yet if she felt anything it was ennui,... the grey sky and the cold wind obliterating every impulse she might have felt to seek comfort in another climate, another landscape. She was free to leave but felt condemned to stay.
--Anita Brookner, Falling Slowly
He was ashamed and unhappy, adrift with a senseless ennui.
--Brian Moynahan, Rasputin: The Saint Who Sinned
I sometimes feel an ennui coming on, but usually ony know when in its midst. Mostly I like the sound of the word.

In the May 2011 issue of Adobe Edge, David Rich talks about publishing for tablet devices, and how Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is closing the time-to-market to deliver exceptional user experience to this new media.
Many traditional publishers, like Martha Stewart and Conde Nast, are taking advantage of new digital publishing opportunities on tablet devices. And they are not alone. Business publishers — organizations who make their money in ways other than selling content — are using digital publishing to extend their brand and engage their audiences. Take a look at major brands like Mercedes-Benz, EMI Music, and Red Bull. They are using tablet publications as a way to hook and engage consumers. But how does a print designer go about creating both a print and an online reading experience?

Did you know?
Andrew Geddes Bain was the father of Thomas Bain, who built the famous Swartberg Pass.
Before 1840, the Western Cape town of Wellington went by a couple of other names, depending on whether you were Dutch or French Huguenot. The French called it Val du Charron and the Dutch called it Wagenmakersvallei – both meaning Cartwright's Valley. But Sir George Napier, Governor of the Cape, felt that his personal British military hero needed a lovely little village named in his honour.
Wellington's real connection with the rest of South Africa, however, came 13 years later when the legendary Andrew Geddes Bain connected it to Ceres and the Tulbagh Valley after he completed Bain's Kloof Pass. It was his first mountain pass.
Today, as you drive up Bain's Kloof Pass, you pass wine cellars of note. Near the top, you're in the Witte River area, which hikers love because it leads to a place called Paradise Valley, which blooms madly in season and offers up all manner of rock pools for swimming in.
Bain's Kloof Pass is lovely, and made more attractive by the legends that surround its construction. Bain completed the nearby Michell's Pass in the mid-1840s and moved his crew up to the new site, where the Witte River cut into the Limiet Mountains. He basically had a village built to accommodate the 'highwaymen, more accustomed to blasting and blazing' than the civilised life down below.
His workers were mainly convicts, doing their time in these mountains, and they were accommodated in special barracks. To this Bain added a hospital, kitchens, stables, blacksmiths' and carpenters' quarters, a church, a school and a recreational area. There was a constant consignment of 400-odd men who worked on the 18km Bain's Kloof Pass. They completed it in 4 years.

Make Your Blow-Dry Last a Week
Seven ways to wear your hair for the next seven days
-Lois Joy Johnson
Have you spent your whole beauty life buying into the idea (mostly touted by hair-care brands and their spokes-stylists!) that you must shampoo every day? This theory started a decade ago when all of us were supposedly exercising our brains out en masse at the gym (which of course we weren't), and those daily sweaty workouts absolutely required daily shampooing.
If you color the life out of your hair like I do, washing, blowing and flat-ironing more than once a week would leave just about three hairs on my head – and they'd be damaged beyond belief. And these days, whether you blow-dry your hair yourself or pay a stylist to do it, cutting the frequency of shampoos means cutting down on blow-drying. In the end, you'll save time or money – and who couldn't use more of either?
I would love to take credit for the "infrequent hair care" idea, but actually top hairdressers on photo shoots came up with the concept. You see, the dirtier a model's hair and the more product buildup there was, the easier it styled and the better it looked. But I learned quickly and I'm happy to pass the secret on to you.
Here's how to keep your hair looking great, one shampoo and blow-dry at a time…
Thursday: Shampoo. So hair looks great through the weekend ahead. Use conditioner and as little styling product as possible, or none if the weather is dry and cool with no humidity in sight. Blow-dry bone dry — leave not one bit of moisture.
Friday: Your hair is sparkling clean. Pull it back carefully when washing your face, applying face cream or blending on self-tanner or makeup so your hairline stays pristine. (Oh, yes, and try not to sweat, no matter how stressed!)
Saturday: First hint of grease appears. Spray your part and hairline or bangs with a dry shampoo, or sprinkle on a little baby powder (brush like mad so there is no visible white residue).
Sunday: Going flat. Bend at the waist and spray the underside of hair with dry shampoo or hairspray to absorb excess oils; blast hair with the blow-dryer for a few seconds while raking fingers through hair. Flip hair back in place and rake some more. You'll look like a European film star, promise!
Monday: Serious bedhead sets in. Tease hair gently at the crown and pull hair back softly in a half up half down way. See Jessica Biel at the Oscars or Angelina Jolie anytime-both of them use this trick a lot.
Tuesday: Slick hair back into a soft knot at the nape. Then spray your neck and hair knot lavishly with a sexy new perfume.
Wednesday: Hide and sleek. Pull hair back in a ponytail and plunk major sunglasses or wide leather hairband on the crown. This is a look that will last a few seasons, too, so stock up on hairbands now. I love Jennifer Behr's leather bands, but they are pricey ($65 at saksfifthavenue.com), and Jennifer Oulette's super wide ones at Barneys, but there are great inexpensive ones, too, at Old Navy and Forever 21. Beyonce appears to use this ponytail strategy effectively all the time.
Thursday: Start over! And give yourself a thorough scalp massage to get rid of every drop of styling buildup and oils at the roots.

Exploring unique Northeast ballparks
Ben Hill visits Brooklyn, Staten Island, Trenton and others
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | August 17, 2012 7:26 AM ET
But, of course, one doesn't necessarily need to travel across the country for unique adventures -- Minor League Baseball is everywhere. With this core truth in mind, over the past several weeks I have made a point to visit an array of teams located in and around MiLB.com's New York City headquarters. What follows is a brief rundown of some of the many Minor League experiences that can be found in the northeastern part of our wildly diverse country.
Past, meet Present
The so-called "ballpark boom" of the 1990s resulted in a thorough restructuring of the Minor League landscape, with many clubs moving from antiquated mid-century facilities to those boasting far more modern amenities. But few places offer a more immediate contrast between present and past than the New Britain Rock Cats, whose New Britain Stadium is located literally next door to its old home, Beehive Field.
Ben's northeast adventures in photos »
Beehive Field (a county-owned facility now used by New Britain High School) boasts plenty of old-school charm -- rickety bleachers are the primary means of seating, and netting stretching to the back end of the stands behind home plate offers plenty (some would say too much) protection from foul balls. Beehive Field served as the home of the New Britain Red Sox from 1983 to 1995, and future Beantown luminaries who suited up for the club include Roger Clemens, Ellis Burks and Curt Schilling.
Rock Cats vice president Jeff Garner explains that the New Britain-Boston relationship ended after the 1994 season; then-Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette wanted the club to re-locate to Springfield, Mass., but owner Joe Buzas was intent on securing funding for a new stadium in New Britain. Boston summarily changed affiliations, setting the stage for a relationship with the Twins that endures to this day.
"By now people are used to it," said Garner of the long-standing affiliation agreement. "We're bringing a little bit of Minnesota to Connecticut."
LV is a battlefield
Last Friday I stopped at a Lehigh Valley IronPigs game, where there is nearly always an over-the-top and raucous atmosphere (the IronPigs are the top-drawing team in Minor League Baseball). Highlights abounded, perhaps most notably when two friends of mine were recruited to compete in the two minutes of ritualized violence that is the nightly "Whack an Intern" competition (think Whack-A-Mole, but with interns. It's that simple).
But I was particularly interested in the fact that my visit coincided with the team's annual "Battlefield Challenge" homestand, in which the field of play is divided up into six "battle zones." Per the team:
"During Battlefield Challenge, the actual playing field at Coca-Cola Park is divided into six battle zones which the IronPigs and their opponent try to gain control of in an effort to conquer the entire playing surface. Control is gained or lost through plays that occur on the field such as hits, RBIs and home runs. Fans can follow the action via Coca-Cola Park's videoboard. When Lehigh Valley controls all six zones, all fans in attendance are rewarded with a 40-to-50 percent discount on all food and non-alcoholic beverages."
Fortunately the IronPigs were able to conquer the field (Sebastian Valle's two-run homer in the sixth inning sealed the deal), and the resulting concessions specials were truly spectacular. I was able to procure an order of "Philly Fries" (fries topped with chopped steak, Cheese Whiz, onions and peppers) for a mere $3, while a friend of mine snagged an order of pierogies for $1.50.

Futures at Fenway
Short-season Lowell faces Hudson Valley and Triple-A Pawtucket takes on Buffalo in Saturday's showcase at the Fens.
Hamilton on the verge
Pensacola's Billy Hamilton will soon break the stolen base record held by Vince Coleman for 29 years.
Gausman debut No. 2
After d ominating with Aberdeen, Kevin Gausman skips a level to debut with Frederick Saturday.
On a roll in Trenton
The IronPigs feature a nightly "pork race" between a triumvirate of meat product mascots, but they're not the only local entity with an affinity for such things. One of the Trenton Thunder's signature concession products is the pork roll sandwich, a New Jersey specialty and, more specifically, a product that was invented in Trenton. I can no longer enjoy this regional delicacy due to a recent diagnosis of celiac disease, but blog reader Jeff Vervlied volunteered to do so on my behalf. His verdict was decidedly lukewarm: "It's basically a pan-fried ham," he said. "Would I serve it to guests? Probably not."
Vervlied's assessment was almost, but not quite, an unintentional haiku. Those looking for more purposeful attempts at the 5-7-5 syllable scheme would do well to tune into Thunder broadcaster Jay Burnham, who, along with his partner Josh Maurer, closes each ballgame with a baseball haiku. I was invited to contribute my own haikus to the broadcast and was particularly pleased with this meditation on that evening's starting pitcher for the visiting Harrisburg Senators: Ryan Tatusko/His name has five syllables/Ryan Tatusko
Coney Island, baby!
When it comes to memorable Minor League environments, few teams can top the Brooklyn Cyclones' MCU Park. This is a stadium that borders the iconic Coney Island boardwalk, with the ocean breeze ever prevalent and historic thrill rides (defunct and otherwise) dotting the landscape. One of the area's most popular and recognizable attractions is the original Nathan's Hot Dogs, a bastion of encased meats whose neon splendor beckons dazed straphangers emerging from the gigantic subway terminal across the street. When it comes to their concessions, the Cyclones take an "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em approach." Nathan's Hot Dogs are located at several stands throughout the park, along with the fast food chain's famous crinkle cut fries.
But fans shouldn't spend too much time in the concession lines, as the Cyclones' on-field entertainment approach is action-packed. The "Beach Bums" cheerleading squad can often be spotted performing atop the dugout, and on-field MC King Henry (a locally well-known party impresario and children's entertainer) struts his stuff in a regal fashion at every opportunity. I was disappointed that, on the night I was in attendance, a ballpark denizen known only as "The Pink Ape" failed to make an appearance. Cyclones general manager Steve Cohen later explained the reason why, via Twitter: "due to excessive heat this summer, we have limited the Pink Apes appearances per NY State's 'use of animals in baseball games' law."
Good to know!
Baseball has been ferry, ferry good to me
The Staten Island Yankees are going through a tough year both in the standings and at the gate, and it is my sincere hope that the team's new ownership group undertakes some much-needed marketing and community relations initiatives.
But such matters don't dilute the pleasure of going to a game at Richmond County Bank Ballpark, which remains a unique Minor League experience. The waterfront stadium provides a wonderful view of the Manhattan skyline, which is located across the Upper New York Bay. And, best of all, fans traveling to the ballgame from Manhattan can take a FREE ride on the Staten Island Ferry to get there -- a five-mile, 25-minute journey that offers scenic views galore (including an up close and personal view of Lady Liberty herself).
In addition to the chance to see up-and-coming Yankees prospects play in the shadow of the Bronx, the so-called "Baby Bombers" offer an action-packed slate of gameday entertainment that includes a ferry race on the videoboard, ballet dancing contests between burly Staten Island men and a nightly showing of David Hasselhoff's legendarily surreal "Hooked on a Feeling" video. If that's not worth the admittedly steep $20 admission charge, then nothing is.

Skin Cancer:
Skin Cancer:
UV radiation is an avoidable cause of skin cancer, the most common malignancy in the United States.1 Emphasize to patients that photoprotection strategies can reduce the incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers and can minimize photoaging. You can also teach patients to perform skin self-examinations and show them how to identify suspicious lesions that warrant medical evaluation.
In this article, we will review effective preventive measures. We will also discuss the evaluation and treatment of common skin cancers.
The major cause ofnonmelanomaskin cancer is UV radiation, which directly damages cells and alters immunological function.2 UVB is absorbed within the epidermis and upper dermis, where it can cause erythema (sunburn), edema, and hyperpigmentation.3,4 An initial phase of erythema is a prerequisite for the development of UVB-induced hyperpigmentation.3 Long-term UVB exposure results in photoaging, immunosuppression, and photocarcinogenesis.3 UVB exerts its carcinogenic effect in part by causing mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.5 For instance, UVB-induced mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene inhibit protective cellular responses to UV damage.6
UVA, which has a longer wavelength than UVB, penetrates deeper into the dermis and causes oxidative stress that results in photoaging, immunosuppression, and possibly skin cancer.2 Photoaging results from structural damage to dermal collagen and elastin fibers; the clinical symptoms include dryness, irregular pigmentation, wrinkling, elastosis, telangiectasia, and purpura.
Cumulative sun exposure best correlates with the risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), whereas episodic, and especially intense, sun exposure may better correlate with the risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and melanoma.2,7
Photoprotection and sun-safe strategies are listed in Table 1.
Types of sunscreen. Sunscreens may contain absorbents, reflectants, or a combination of both. Absorbent sunscreens (eg, avobenzone and ecamsule)constitute chemical filters that absorb a component of UV radiation. Reflectant sunscreens, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide,contain small particles that reflect or scatter UV radiation. While many sunscreens provide effective UVB protection, few adequate UVA sunscreens are available. The most effective UVA sunscreen ingredient that is available in the United States is ecamsule, which was approved by the FDA in July 2006.8,9
The ability of a sunscreen to prevent burning is indicated by its sun protection factor (SPF), which denotes the relative amount of time a person can tolerate UVB radiation exposure before erythema is induced. For example, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 protects skin from erythema 15 times longer than would be possible without sunscreen. However, the SPF of a sunscreen relies on adequate and frequent reapplication.
An effective sunscreen regimen. This includes the daily, liberal application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen that contains avobenzone, ecamsule, or a micronized reflectant sunblock. The SPF should be at least 15. During outdoor activities, sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours and after swimming, toweling off, or excessive sweating.
Sunscreen and nonmelanoma skin cancer. The regular use of sunscreen prevents actinic keratosis, which can potentially develop into SCC.7,10,11 Use of a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher during the first 18 years of life is hypothesized to decrease the lifetime incidence of BCC and SCC by 78%.12 However, UV damage accrues throughout life, and this hypothesis might diminish patients' motivation to use sunscreen regularly and properly later in life.Because SCC of the lip is particularly aggressive, lip balms with sunscreen are also recommended.13
Sunscreen and melanoma. The association between sunscreen use and melanoma protection is controversial.11,14 Although Hill and Ferrini15 concluded that there is insufficient evidence to recommend sunscreen use, particularly if it leads to increased sun exposure, most experts recommend sunscreen as part of a comprehensive photoprotection regimen.16 Advise patients that over-reliance on sunscreen protection can inadvertently lead to increased intensity and duration of sun exposure.
Self-examination. Training patients to perform self-examinations can increase the frequency of skin surveillance between visits, promote earlier detection of cancers, and result in a more focused and organized office skin examination.17 Self-examination also reinforces many photoprotection principles. Patients can be taught how to perform these examinations during office visits and by means of educational materials available on the Internet as well as in print (Box I).
Self-examination requires the use of a hand mirror or the help of an assistant to check every area of skin for unusual macules, papules, and nodules. Some health care providers and patients overlook the interdigital and genital regions; however, these are important locations for certain types of melanoma.12
Patients can use the "ABCDE" warning signs of melanoma to evaluate any unusual nevus (Table 2).18 As many as 67% of melanomas are detected by patients.19 Mortality associated with melanoma is reportedly lower in patients who perform skin self-examinations.20
Many patients wait until lesions are painful or bleeding before they seek care.21 Persons with darker skin may harbor the dangerous misconception that the additional melanin in their skin fully protects them from skin cancer. Educating patients about the epidemiology, prognosis, signs, and symptoms of skin cancers can allay fears and encourage earlier presentation.22
Office examination. Guidelines vary on the recommended frequency of office skin examinations (Box II). The US Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening with a total-body skin examination for the early detection of cutaneous melanoma, BCC, and SCC.23 The organization with the most stringent guidelines, the American Cancer Society, recommends a cancer-related checkup, including a skin examination, during the periodic physical examination for all adults older than 20 years.24 The American Academy of Dermatology recommends at least annual dermatologist-conducted skin examinations, especially for patients at high risk for melanoma.25
A survey showed that the greatest obstacle to performing a skin examination in a primary care setting is lack of time.26 Clinicians were more likely to provide skin examinations for patients who requested them.26
Patients can be examined for signs of skin cancer during routine physical examinations, or they can be referred to dermatologists, free skin cancer screenings, and self-education materials.21 Patients who have risk factors for skin cancer and those who have obvious signs of sun damage need to be examined regularly and counseled about photoprotective strategies.21 Risk factors for melanoma include a history of blistering sunburns in childhood, atypical nevi, and melanoma in a first-degree family member.Encourage all patients to perform regular skin self-examinations.21
Melanomas are 6 times more likely to be detected when all skin is visible during an examination.12 The hands are an easy location to start with and may put your patient at greater ease. Correct lighting and cross-illumination are crucial. Daylight is ideal; however, a combination of incandescent light, which enhances red colors, and fluorescent light, which enhances blue and yellow colors, is acceptable.21 Cross-illumination highlights subtle changes in elevation and reduces glare.21
Palpation of cutaneous lesions may help diagnose skin cancers. Actinic keratosis has a gritty, sandpaper-like surface.21 The pearly quality of a BCC may be better appreciated on blanching.21 Debridement of crusts may be necessary to visualize underlying skin lesions.21

Lucky 7: Enslaved By DucksAugust 14, 2012 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog
"Tarte has an ordinary-Joe voice that makes each chapter a true pleasure, while revealing a sophisticated vision of animals and their relationship to humans." —Publisher's Weekly
Packed with laughs and heartwarming quirks, this month's batch of Lucky 7 e-books are only $1.99 through the end of August. Today we have Bob Tarte's Enslaved by Ducks. Bob and Linda acquire an innocuous little rabbit. Just one bunny. No big deal. One bunny leads to two. And three. And ducks. And soon the pets are running the place.
Buy Enslaved by Ducks e-books at AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INDIEBOUND, KOBO and POWELL'S
When Bob Tarte buys a house in rural Massachusetts, he's hoping for some zen alone time. Now, however, his wife Linda wants a rabbit. He thought, "How much trouble could that be?" That's the question you should never ask, not even to yourself.
The seemingly harmless bunny soon chews a hole through some electrical wire, but that's nowhere near the end. Somehow the rabbit acts as a catalyst for a pet-ownership spree, and Bob and Linda find themselves the caretakers of an eclectic cast of furred and feathered beasts. So much for tranquility.
When all the cacophonous squawks and screeches quiet down, you'll find Bob's easy-to-follow story-telling and trying situation irresistible and hilarious.
And you might even find the book at Khumbu Lodge in Namche Bazaar in Nepal at an elevation of 12,000 feet, as backpacker Rebecca Zerial did. She didn't have a book to trade, so she left the copy behind for the next traveler (photo below). Now that's a universal story!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2013 (1669 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Just when you think the Disraeli Bridge will never end, it swoops down to a surprisingly hot little strip at the start of Henderson Highway.
Some big surprises await in a two-block area on the east side of that buzzing roadway just past the Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute. We're investigating what some call "the Chalmers district." It was started by a group of Mennonites who crossed the river from the North End. Although Mennonite schools and services have stayed put, most of the Mennonite residents have moved off to East and North Kildonan.
"I grew up in the neighbourhood -- the original Elmwood. It is a small town here. My whole life has been lived out within three blocks of this building and my family is of Mennonite background (the Koops), says costumer Carla Oliphant of The Creative Stage Emporium. Oliphant says her space in the Elmwood Building at 189 Henderson Hwy., a big stone edifice, was a doctor's office for a long time. "But in the old days I hear they held dances upstairs."
In her high-ceilinged space with towering windows and twinkling butterfly ceiling lights, she has created a fantasy world for girls to hold special parties. With racks and racks of costumes she has sewn and collected, Oliphant and her family -- husband Craig and 20-something daughters Heather, Adrianna and Jessica -- put on Princess Parties for little ones, and Diva Parties for the eight to 12 set. (Less known are the racks for grown-up divas right up to size 20 who want to come with their besties for a private fun fest and a walk down the ramp to I'm Too Sexy for my Socks.)
"We pick themes out of a hat and then everybody goes looking for a costume and we play music and walk the ramp," Oliphant says. The participants at Diva parties can pick up to seven themes and dress for them, "but the little ones at Princess Parties tend to pick one dress they love and then don't want to take it off for the whole party."
The older girls get a big charge out the ramp with full-length mirrors at the end made out of flattened social tables, painted bright white. The more costume changes for them the better!
Famous Winnipeg artists Wanda Koop, Elvira Finnigan and Kathy Koop are three of Carla's big sisters.
Sam's Place
A wild-looking dragon greets you at Sam's Place, a "program" of the Mennonite Central Committee of Manitoba, which turns out to be a huge used bookstore and restaurant by day, and a stage with all kind of entertainment by night. They want to promote community in the area and ideas of social justice in the world.
The six-foot Komodo dragon made out of wood, with leathery looking criss-crossed skin, came all the way from Indonesia. "But it didn't sell at Ten Thousand Villages because it had some broken toes, so we got her," says manager Jennifer Dijk. They named her Sam (short for Samantha) and she's onstage with entertainers most of the time. "When we have really big bands here, we move her into my office." But usually, it's one or two artists onstage, coffee-house style. "We have singers, songwriters, poets, author readings, magic, even Celtic music." Local artists and groups are welcome to ask for a performance time.
"We've been here for four years, staffed with volunteers, and our ultimate goal is to be self-sustaining," she adds. "The idea is to engage with the community. For instance, we have a lot of volunteers under 30 -- youth who are employment-challenged, seniors and people with disabilities." They all learn a lot about healthy food. "Everything is made fresh in our kitchen -- local food, organic. They learn how to make things like homemade salad dressing, soups from scratch, healthy stuff."

NEXT door at 3 Fathoms Scuba, 163 Henderson Hwy., Ian Sutherland of the deep Scottish accent is busy outfitting people with diving gear for sunspot travelling. His staff teach scuba courses and they all take people on exotic trips to Caribbean waters. Sutherland is known for making many underwater love matches. "Yes, there have been many romances in classes and on the trips, and four or five marriages," he says.
So why are people prone to finding romance underwater? "It's a regular occurrence. Many people come to learn to dive with ulterior motives -- they want the companionship of a new group, or are frustrated with the bar scene." And Sutherland doesn't mind playing Cupid.
"I've been asked on occasion to facilitate introductions in a clandestine way," he confesses. "If one party is invited on a trip that I happen to know the other party is interested in, then things happen, don't they?" says the man, who has been married for 36 years.
"Being underwater is like being in an alien world. The only other way to get that feeling is to go to the moon in a space shuttle. It kindles romance," he chuckles.
Sutherland, a former tool-and-die maker who came to Canada from Edinburgh in 1973, clearly enjoys all aspects of his job. He organizes three big trips a year. Eighteen divers left this weekend for the islands of Saba and St. Kitts.
"The next big trip is Oct. 5 to the Grand Cayman Island and 28 people have already signed up."
Nielsen Homeopathic
& Integrative Clinic
IN a gracious, old-fashioned house at 185 Henderson Hwy., Dr. Vijay Nielsen, who is "almost 30" and a doctor of homeopathic medicine, operates a busy fly-in practice. He is not at odds with western medicine. In fact, he says he "encourages co-operation with a person's primary-care physician. If people are looking for a black and white in medicine, they need the grey, and this is the grey," says Nielsen.
Nielsen grew up in Winnipeg and went to MBCI and the University of Winnipeg. He has great respect for the teachings of his mother, medical and otherwise. "My mom is Catholic and my dad is Lutheran and my mother always said, 'Without God, there is no health.' "
He took over the space from his mom, Leelamma Nielsen, also a homeopathic doctor.
He and business partner Kerissa Nielsen have the same training and alternate flying in from Calgary where they now live, seeing patients in Winnipeg on the first and last week of each month. Nielsen is familiar with the old area where he went to high school and enjoys seeing the many people he got to know. "Mennonites are open-armed and welcoming to anyone and like to help each other out any way they can."
JC's Tacos and More
A big surprise greets the person who ventures into an old post office building (circa 1935) at 187 Henderson Hwy., housing JC's Tacos and More. The inside is transformed so you feel like you're on a trip to Mexico. Most foods here are Mexican dishes, but some foods are from El Salvador. Owners Marvin Dubon (from El Salvador) and his Mexican wife Mayra have a varied menu. "We sell pupusas, which are corn flour pancakes with a filling of pork, bean and cheese or just plain cheese. In keeping with the new-age consciousness of the street, all our meats are local and free-range, and we use fresh products -- nothing comes from a can," says server Beatriz Alas, also from El Salvador.
Check out the imported foods section at the back, where they sell such things as beans, yerba mate and exotic sauces. This is not your normal fast-food joint. And what a decor! The chairs are beautiful enough to cause fights amongst the kids in your group, as they are pieces of art, decorated in fruits, birds and sports logos.
On the way out, people often stop to buy the homemade hot sauces -- red and green tomato, avocado or cilantro.

Topic: Cesium Chloride- alternative therapy
Hello- I haven't written in a while- diagnosed in 4/08- had resection and 3 years of chemo. Currently looking into clinical trials, but also alternative therapies. Has anyone tried or know of anyone that has tried cesium? This is a high PH alkaline therapy- banking on the belief that cancer thrives in an acid environment and can't survive in an alkaline environment. The person I spoke with said I would have to be on this a year and will get worse before I get better. Also discussed some sort of scary side effects. Inflammation and
coughing up blood. ( I have Stage IV with mets to lungs and lymph nodes),
but the tumor markers are still around 42. I haven't had any chemo since May-
they ran out of things to give me, so alternative sounds like it might be an option. I feel pretty good- blood work is good, and I will have a scan this month. I still work full time- I do get tired. Thanks for this wonderful website-
lots of info. I would love to hear from the folks who are still here like me after being given months to live. There is a lot of info out there, but you need to
be very careful. That's why I love this site.
Take care and Gof Bless everyone.

Long Island's Champions for Familes benefits RotaCare!
RotaCare: Free Health Care for People in Need
Founded in 1992 by members of the Mineola‐Garden City Rotary Club, RotaCare was created to serve the needs of the uninsured on Long Island. It began when a group of concerned volunteers met at the Mary Brennan Interfaith Nutrition Network in Hempstead. Many of these volunteers recognized that in addition to food, the medical needs of their clients were not met adequately by the healthcare system. Through the collaborative efforts of the Rotary Club, local healthcare professionals, area residents, and Mercy Hospital, a "MASH" team was formed to operate weekly at the soup kitchen. RotaCare was born. Since its inception, RotaCare has remained a Rotary District project and supported by concerned companies, organizations and individuals to sustain its good works and benefits to the community by providing free health care to people in need. In 2007, RotaCare expanded its scope again, and moved to larger quarters at the A. Holly Patterson Extended Family Care Facility in Uniondale.
RotaCare is a 501(c)(3) non-profit registered with the State of New York.

Boaters Urged To 'Lift, Drift, Pole or Troll' as New Seagrass Reg Takes Effect
ROCKPORT, Texas — The popular Redfish Bay area receives an extra measure of protection beginning May 1. On that date, a new regulation takes effect, prohibiting the uprooting of seagrass within the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area (RBSSA).
The shallow, highly productive body of water straddling the Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay systems in the Coastal Bend boasts the state's northernmost extensive stands of sea grasses, highly evolved marine flowering plants that are one source of the area's bounty of red drum and spotted seatrout.
Aransas Bay, appropriately enough, often leads the state in the catch rate of red drum in Texas Parks and Wildlife Department gill net sampling.
Anglers' success here has led to a surge in the area's popularity, and the fragile seagrass meadows — they cover about a third of the 32,000-acre portion of the bay that has been designated a state scientific area — are showing the effects.
"This area is number one for guided fishing trips, and receives the second highest pressure along the Texas coast for private boat anglers," said TPWD Coastal Fisheries Biologist Faye Berens. "Visitors outnumber locals two to one."
In a recent study, more than half of randomly selected areas in the bay showed evidence of propeller scarring. The trenches destroy the grass, fragment habitat, channel tidal movement and sometimes take years to recover.
"A seagrass meadow supplies everything that many marine organisms need. It provides food for grazing animals at the base of the food chain, surfaces to cling on for small crawling critters, shelter and hiding places for small invertebrates and fish, and ambush points for the larger predators and game fish," said Dennis Pridgen, another Coastal Fisheries biologist. "For them it's the nursery, the roof over their heads and the grocery store all rolled into one."
When the TPW Commission voted on the new rule in November 2005, several options were on the table. One was to replace voluntary "no-propeller" zones in the most sensitive parts of the bay with mandatory no-prop zones.
Instead, commissioners chose the least restrictive option, one that focused on changing boater behavior and creating a new appreciation for the value of seagrass habitat. No portion of the RBSSA has been closed to any type of boat or motor.
"What we're trying to do is really get boaters to think about what they're doing out in the water," Berens said. "The responsibility is on the boater to know the area he's fishing in, and also protect and preserve some of the habitat that supports the fish that he's fishing for."
To that end, TPWD has launched a public education and outreach program targeting boaters in the local area as well as around the state. At boat ramps in the nearby communities of Rockport, Aransas Pass, Ingleside and Port Aransas, signs will make anglers aware of the new regulation and also show the boundaries of the state scientific area.
Boundary signs will mark the 50-square-mile area in which the regulation applies, and TPWD employees will install signs marking preferred access lanes (PALs) to help guide boaters safely through sensitive portions of the bay. Biologists developed the PALs based on the input of local boaters and commonly prevailing winds and tides in the area.
TPWD's Aransas Bay Ecosystem Leader Karen Meador stressed that the lanes are experimental.
"We're going to install these where we can, and where we think they will do the most good," she said. "If we find that they are not useful, or if the lanes need to be marked in different areas, we can move them."
Proponents of the new regulation are urging boaters who use the RBSSA to follow these rules of thumb:
- Even though boater access is allowed throughout the RBSSA, boaters can avoid damaging seagrass by simply avoiding shallow areas.
- If the vessel's wake is muddy, the propeller may be cutting into the bay bottom and causing damage. It is the boater's responsibility to know the depth of the water they are running in and to avoid areas too shallow for their vessel.
- When these shallow waters are encountered, it is suggested that boat operators LIFT their motors, DRIFT, POLE or TROLL.
In fact, "lift, drift, pole or troll" has become something of a mantra in the Coastal Bend — one that local biologists hope more boaters will adopt.
"We have an amazing natural resource here," said Larry McKinney, Ph.D., director of TPWD's coastal fisheries division. "We want the people of Texas to be able to continue to enjoy it and to take advantage of the wonderful fishing opportunities Redfish Bay offers."
McKinney said that Census data suggest population — and fishing pressure — along the coast is likely to double in the next 20 years.
"We have to take steps now to ensure our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy the same angling opportunities we take for granted today," he said.
SIDEBAR: Redfish Bay State Scientific Area is a roughly triangular portion of Aransas and Corpus Christi Bays bounded by the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway on the west, the Aransas Bay shoreline of Talley, Traylor and Harbor Islands to the north, and the Lydia Ann Channel and Corpus Christi Ship Channel to the east.
The new law (31 TAC §57.921) states that:
"Within the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area, no person shall cause or allow any rooted seagrass plant to be uprooted or dug out from the bay bottom by a submerged propeller, except as may be permitted by a coastal lease issued by the Texas General Land Office or otherwise permitted under state law.
"It is not a violation to: anchor a vessel within the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area; or use electric trolling motors within the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area."
The law further states that:
"No person may move, remove, deface, alter, or destroy any sign, depth marker or other informational signage placed by the department to delineate boundaries of the Redfish Bay State Scientific Area or to designate specific zones within the area."
Violators of the law can be charged with a Class "C" Misdemeanor, which can result in a fine of up to $500.

I'm having the same issue, except I'm installing to usb and haven't had a successful install yet. Can anyone help?
I've been following the Bootable USB Thumb Drive with Full Disk Encryption how-to to install Backtrack 4 on my Asus eeepc 900 and had no problem creating a working USB thumb drive. I repeated the procedure to install it (and encrypt it) on my SSD but Ubiquity crash when I reach step 4. I can see the partitioning screen for a second and it just crash.
I since tried without encryption (simply running the install.sh script) and I encounter the same problem.Code:bt ubiquity[8039]: Device /dev/sdb1 not found in os-prober output bt ubiquity[8039]: Switched to page stepPartAuto bt ubiquity[8039]: Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler) : bt ubiquity[8039]: Traceback (most recent call last): bt ubiquity[8039]: File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/segmented_bar.py", line 500, in do_expose_event bt ubiquity[8039]: cr.paint() bt ubiquity[8039]: MemoryError bt ubiquity[8039]: bt ubiquity: /lib/partman/lib/base.sh: line 146: /lib/partman/automatically_partition//do_option: no such file or directory
Any idea on what to try next??
I'm having the same issue, except I'm installing to usb and haven't had a successful install yet. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem and also have a Asus Eee 900.
Also I can't seem to find any solution on this on the interwebs :S
I ended up wiping out the drive manually and Ubiquity magically worked after that. I still don't know what was causing the problem though!
I have the same prob so i'm trying a different way to install BT4....exactly how did you resolve it? wiped out means completly erased your ssd?
Yep, I deleted all partitions and formatted it. Everything worked after that. Since then, I did a reinstall (as I didn't encrypt it the first time) and I didn't encounter the same problem. I'll probably never know what the problem was, the debug wasn't very helpful and my programming skills not up to scratch
The fact is i cant delete all since i have my wxp installed on the first partition any ideas?
You need to give me a bit more information, what is the state of your disk at the moment? How many partitions? Are they formatted?
I would try to delete all partitions other than your XP partition, then launch Ubiquity. If that doesn't work, manually create and format all partitions and try again.
I have 120GB HDD....60 are partitioned with wxp and the other 60gb are unformatted...i tried to format 25gb in NTFS but BT freeze..now i'm unformatted again and i'm having some prob to boot BT4 too.. :V squashfs error
It seems that Ubiquity is having problems with USB drives, at least in our cases. I re-ran the installer with my USB drive unplugged, and was able to get to step 4. I'm not sure how this can be fixed.

International Social Work
Many current eventsfrom the attacks of September 11, 2001, to concerns over the worlds water supplyhighlight the fact that we are all world citizens. Whether we acknowledge it or not, our problems and destinies are becoming increasingly interconnected.
Social workers have much to offer this global culture. Using the skills and values of caring and empowerment, they are involved in many important international activities here and abroad. Some of these include:
- Counseling and aiding refugees;
- Facilitating international adoptions;
- Providing disaster relief in times of crisis;
- Developing, managing and staffing international service-delivery programs like the Red Cross; and,
- Researching international issues with a focus on improving peoples quality of life and addressing injustices.
Social workers play key roles in areas that might be considered more typical of the profession. For example, they help to resettle refugees, as did social worker Phillip Skip Kindy, who helped to resettle 100 Tibetans in Madison, Wisc.; theyre involved as program developers, managers and staff in many national and international organizations that include a social development component. Two examples are the United Nations High Commission for Refugees whose aim is to protect and aid refugees in all phases of transit and resettlement; and the United Nations Childrens Fund or UNICEF, which deals with issues ranging from child health to child abuse to emergency relief for children and women. In fact, the United Nations social mission is considered one of its greatest successes, and social workers have been instrumental in that success.
Social workers also address international issues through broad-based statements and advocacy efforts helped to shape the focus of last years Annual Social Work Day, sponsored by the United Nations. This annual celebration and acknowledgement of social workers and their roles with clientele across the globe was targeted towards ways to mitigate the continued violence and injustices in the world. At the meeting, Elizabeth Clark, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), noted that social workers unique contributions help put United Nations treaties, declarations and conventions on human rights into practice.
In the same way, the International Federation of Social Work (IFSW) condemned in a statement the terrorist acts of September 11, but also called on Americans and the world community to examine the possible underlying causes of terrorism, including poverty, perceived inequity, and foreign policies that may help fuel terrorism.
As it becomes more obvious that the worlds problems are everyones problem, it is likely that more and more social workers will play a part in world affairs. Indeed, more American social work departments see the enormous need for social workers in the international arena and are adding specialties in this area. These efforts wont be wasted: Social workers unique skills and flexible approaches to problem-solving can help develop human potential in places where people have been oppressed and create peaceful, mutual solutions to strife-filled situations.

If you recall, we did a series of posts last April featuring all sorts of different authors and bloggers highlighting a kid-friendly recipe that was both gluten free and casein free for National Autism Awareness Month. We had so much fun and the month was such a success, we thought we'd try it again for September.
All month, we'll be featuring wonderful guest bloggers who will share a recipe that is a) quick and easy!, b) kid-friendly (in most cases, already kid-tested and approved) and c) uses a Bob's Red Mill product. Most of the recipes use products that you can find in your local store and may already be familiar with.
We didn't specify what kind of recipe, only asked that they be more or less healthy. So this month, you'll find meatless recipes on Mondays as per usual and the rest of the days will have a blend of conventional, gluten free, and vegan recipes. I've asked each writer to include some kind of bio, so that you can find more recipes on their blog if you like one of the recipes.
For all of you with little ones (or big ones) trying to transition back to school, we're here for you and hope this collection will make your life a little simpler. Here's to happy, healthy and EASY September.
