Bobby's Memorable Memorial Day Burgerby Guest Blogger in View All Posts, May 26th, 2010
I have to admit I haven't made many burgers in my life, but in preparation for Memorial Day I wanted to try grilling one up at home. I typically partake in the eating activities at barbecues rather than participating in the grilling. But at some point a person with my burger appetite should have a few recipes and techniques on hand for whenever the craving strikes.
As a burger novice, who better to turn to than the Burger King, Bobby Flay? While Bobby has many different burger recipes, the L.A. burger is a taste bud tickler. What could be better than guacamole on melted cheese and meat? Bobby's guacamole spread is an easy combination of Haas avocados, chopped onions, cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice. When I make my own guacamole I tend to drown it in lime juice for an acidic flavor punch, but Bobby's recipe only calls for a small amount, preventing a soggy burger bust.
The heavenly burger mountain includes grilled buns, melted cheddar cheese, guacamole, tomato and watercress. Surprisingly, I found the star of this recipe to be the crisp watercress. (Yes, the watercress!) It adds a peppered freshness to the texture and flavor giving an unexpected kick to the guacamole. I finally feel like a novice no more but grilling master! Well maybe not yet, I will leave the grill master title to Mr. Flay for now.
Next up? Maybe tackling new hot dog toppings or barbecue ribs. It's going to be a delicious summer.

Crawford has message for ESPN's Valentine
LF Carl Crawford likes to be appreciated, and was happy that his spectacular running and full-out diving catch on Monday got play of the day on ESPN's SportsCenter.
But when he heard ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine, a former big-league infielder/outfielder and manager, suggesting that he didn't have to leave his feet to make the play, he had a witty retort.
"Tell Bobby Valentine to take that. He said I could have caught that ball standing up. And I want to tell him, first inning, just getting warmed up, I definitely couldn't have caught it standing. Everybody knows if I can catch a ball standing, I'm going to do it because I don't want to get hurt,'' Crawford said. "I can't believe he said that. Obviously he don't know what it's like to have this kind of ability.''

(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - U.S. Park Police in Washington, D.C. say the Lincoln Memorial is temporarily closed after someone splattered green paint on the statue and the floor area.
Police say the apparent vandalism was discovered early Friday morning. No words, letters or symbols were visible in the paint.
Police say the memorial on the National Mall will be closed until a maintenance crew from the National Park Service can finish cleaning up the paint. That's expected to happen Friday morning.
CBS affiliate WUSA reports investigators will review surveillance video to determine who vandalized the memorial.

Police round up dozens of low-level drug suspects around Coraopolis
Police arrested more than 70 people in drug busts in and around Coraopolis early on Monday and are searching for about a dozen more.
Allegheny County narcotics detectives and Coraopolis police began rounding up suspects in their homes and on the streets about 6 a.m. for illegal drug sales, county police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said.
Warrants were issued for 85 individuals after a seven-month investigation, which began when Coraopolis police Chief Alan DeRusso contacted county police to set up an operation because of complaints from the public about drug sales.
Undercover police purchased drugs including marijuana, prescription medication, crack cocaine and heroin, as well as a firearm, Moffatt said.
Most of the purchases took place in Coraopolis, but some were in Leetsdale, Stowe and McKees Rocks, Moffatt said.
The suspects do not appear to have been part of a connected drug ring, he said.
"We're still investigating, but right now, we have nothing to connect them together for a conspiracy," he said.
Investigators seized an assault rifle and a handgun during the roundup, police said.

Staying true to Alabama's system, I am starting this series with defense. Since I have already covered the secondary and linebacking corps, I'm going to wrap up the defensive breakdown today with the defensive line. This will probably be a two-a-days blogging day for me, as I plan to cowrite my breakdown of the backfield (quarterback and runningbacks) with BloodBCrimson. So be looking for that tonight.

The restructuring in football was not exclusive to the NFL's new CBA this year. The Big Ten also welcomed the Nebraska Cornhuskers which resulted in a divisional split up of the conference. The Legends (Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Northwestern) will face the Leaders (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin) in the all new Big Ten Championship Game the week after Thanksgiving this year. The championship game is a great addition to the Big Ten season, but it will make create a clear winner instead of the three way tie that seems so common in the Big Ten. no comments
Earlier in the week I brokedown Alabama's linebacking corps, which I view as the strength of our defense. Some others, however, believe that our secondary will be our strongest unit. And they have good reason to believe that.

Tonight, with tempered expectations, the Jurgen Klinsmann experiment begins. Just over a week after Sunil Gulati named Klinsmann the head coach of the USMNT, Klinsmann and his rag-tag group of Americans enter the pitch in Philadelphia to take on El Tri like Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. And just like Depp in the aforementioned movie, it will probably not end too well. Still, that doesn't mean one shouldn't have hope.
If you were with front office blogs last year, you may remember this series of blogs breaking down each of Alabama's positions leading up to the season. It got some good reviews, so I am bringing it back this year. Without further adu, I will break down one of Alabama's best corp of players: the linebackers. no comments
Trades, free agents, and cuts, all words that are synonymous with the "free agency frenzy" of 2011 following the NFL lockout. Many deals were made, but one thing is for sure; people got paid. The Eagles hit the jackpot with Nnamdi Asomugha, the Patriots made clever deals to facilitate their needs (as always), the Cardinals finally picked up a decent quarterback, the Seahawks retooled their offense with Tavaris Jackson and others, and the rest of the league had some average pickups. A lot went on in just three days, but who made the best of the three day "free agency frenzy?" no comments
Suddenly the upcoming friendly against Mexico got a whole lot more interesting.
When a soccer story makes the front ticker of ESPN, you know it is a big deal. Last night's firing of Bob Bradley is as big as soccer stories get in the United States.
Bradley should have never been resigned in the first place. Most countries do not hold onto a national team coach for more than one World Cup cycle. However, the United States Soccer Federation is not like the rest of the world. They had Bruce Arenas as its coach for 9 years. Then they put Bradley --who in turn was a top assistant for Bruce Arena-- in place for the five years following that. This makes it so the USMNT has been running with pretty much the same coaching style for 14 years, or 3 World Cup Cycles.

5 Fall Shopping Events in Metro Phoenix
A selection of wares previously featured at Junk in the Trunk.
Courtesy of Junk in The Trunk
Given the abundance of shopping options Phoenicians have this fall, holiday gifts should be wrapped earlier than ever. Starting up this weekend are a handful of must-attend markets featuring clothing, accessories, furniture, and plenty more to suit the taste of your friends, fam, and, let's be honest, you. Here they are.
Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market With handmade goods and rust-tinged vintage pieces, the recurring Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market features local vendors hand-picked by self-proclaimed junk hunters and gal pals Lindsey Holt, Coley Arnold, and Monique Wallis.
See also: 5 Best Places for Industrial Salvage Shopping in Metro Phoenix
The trio will host the final Junk sale of 2013 on Saturday, November 9, at WestWorld of Scottsdale with more than 140 vendors.
The first 300 people through the doors will receive a reusable bag. Early entry is $10 and allows attendees inside at 8 a.m. Those who pay $5 for general admission can access the sale at 10 a.m. Either way, the event wraps at 3 p.m. Shoppers should bring cash, as not all vendors accept cards. The next Junk in the Trunk is slated for April 2014.
Merry May Vintage Sale Merry May Vintage is a boutique housed in a throwback trailer. Usually around this time of year its owner, Ashley Eaton, would start toting the mobile shop around town to various events and festivals. But when her generator was stolen earlier this year, Eaton had to come up with a backup plan for getting her goods to her loyal shoppers.
Her solution? Bring the customers to her. Eaton will host the Merry May Vintage Sale in her backyard at 1430 East Edgemont Avenue. Merry May fans will find everything from Eaton's trademark girly clothes and cute accessories to bigger items she wouldn't be able to fit in her trailer, like furniture, all at deep discounts. Eaton says that without the generator she and her trailer will be out of comission through spring, so this might be your last chance for a Merry May fix for a while.
Shop the sale at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 9. There's no charge for admission. And Eaton says her mom will supply the snacks. RSVP via Facebook.
Phoenix Flea will be held at Heritage Square.
Niki D'Andrea
The Big Heap Vintage & Handmade Festival The Big Heap brings buyables en masse to Cave Creek. Shoppers will find vintage gems, industrial pieces, and handmade works, in addition to recycled, upcycled, and salvage -- a.k.a. a whole lotta stuff. What they won't find? That'd be mass produced crap and crafts from the '90s, according to event organizers. Okay by us.
Dive into the Heap at 3841 North Schoolhouse Road Friday, November 15, through Sunday, November 17. Admission is $5 per day. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Phoenix Flea Ashlee Molina will host the inaugural Phoenix Flea on November 29 and 30 at Historic Heritage Square.
Around 50 local vendors will hawk antiques, vintage goods, art, crafts, clothing, and snacks. While the full lineup hasn't been released yet, a few participants have been announced, including Indie Nook, GrowOp Boutique, Native Thread, The Letter House, Maj Tees, Wendy Grace Jewelry, and Floating Specs. Tickets to the market, which starts at 10 a.m. both days, will be $5.
Fifth Annual Ornament Marketplace Heard Museum hosts its fifth annual marketplace where Christmas ornaments are the stars (instead of, y'know, stars).
The shopping event will feature 20-plus Native American artists and their hand-crafted ornaments, featuring elements of wood, beads, and pottery. This year's signature ornament is from silversmith Howard Sice, features a Hopi maiden, costs $175, and is available in a limited run of 20. The market also will offer wreaths, books, and live musical performances.
Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, November 28 through 30, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 1, the event is free and open to the public.

Steffen P. Walz 2010
Whether we think of a board game, an athletic competition in a stadium, a videogame, playful social networking on the World Wide Web, an Alternate Reality Game, a location-based mobile game, or any combination thereof: Ludic activities are, have, and take place in or at, spaces.
"Toward a Ludic Architecture" is a pioneering publication, architecturally framing play and games as human practices in and of space. Filling the gap in literature, Steffen P. Walz considers game design theory and practice alongside architectural theory and practice, asking: how are play and games architected? What kind of architecture do they produce and in what way does architecture program play and games? What kind of architecture could be produced by playing and gameplaying?
"Toward a Ludic Architecture" is a must-read for analyzing and designing play and games from an architectural standpoint. Such a contribution is particularly applicable in an era when games extend into physical, designed space that is increasingly permeated by devices, sensors, and information networks, allowing for rules and fictions to superimpose our everyday environments. Including a maze-like, episodic, and critical discussion of interweaving "play-grounds," "Toward a Ludic Architecture" is a playful look at the conceptual space of play and games.

"This intriguing book offers a comprehensive investigation of both the conceptual and spatial aspects of play – a crucially important part of our urban life today. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in the joyful qualities of cities and architecture."
– Iain Borden
Professor of Architecture and Urban Culture & Head,
UCL Bartlett School of Architecture
"Steffen P. Walz has created a fascinating, multi-dimensional map for exploring the relationship of games and spaces. His work lays out a solid foundation for understanding how architectural concepts can inform game design practice and vice-versa."
– Frank Lantz
Creative Director and Co-Founder of area/code
& Director, New York University Game Center
"Architecture and game design have a great deal to offer each other, as Steffen P. Walz argues in this long overdue and rigorous meditation on the intersections between the two. In this highly original work, the author merges and contrasts some of the best thinking from game studies and architectural theory to explore both the space of play, and the play of space. To build his argument, Walz engages a dialog among disparate voices from psychology and sociology, philosophy, design and architecture, games and play studies, invoking the canon in each as well as introducing some new and relevant voices into the discourse. "

TOPEKA, Kan. — The soldier sentenced to death for the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood will head to the military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., officials said Wednesday.
Maj. Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others, would be taken back to a county jail and then transported on the first available military flight to Fort Leavenworth, officials said. The timing wasn't immediately clear.
Fort Leavenworth's U.S. Disciplinary Barracks is the military's only maximum-security prison, housing inmates who are sentenced to at least 10 years in prison as well as death.
Hasan's case is unusual given his physical condition and limitations. The Army psychiatrist was shot in the back during the shooting rampage and is paralyzed from the waist down. He is confined to a wheelchair and requires specialized care for his needs.
Kimberly Lewis, a spokeswoman for Fort Leavenworth, said the prison has a health clinic that is staffed with active duty military medical professionals and civil service medical professionals.
She declined to address specific medical needs that any one inmate would require or receive.
Routine medical care is managed through sick call and medical appointments throughout the week. She said specialty care is coordinated through scheduled appointments within the prison or through local hospitals and specialty clinics.

"Did you know that I'm half a jalapeño?" This was the question posed by my 6-year-old to a neighbor the other day. After we stopped laughing, I explained what she meant—that she is half Filipino. Our children know they are biracial, even if they can't pronounce it: Caucasian from me and Filipino from my husband. In our home, we've tried to raise our children with an understanding of both our cultures.
The emphasis has been heavier on the Filipino side because we feel that this culture is in the most danger of being lost. The culture of the Philippines is rich and vibrant, making it easy for us to incorporate those traditions and foods into our family life. Our children have learned the art of making lumpia (a Filipino-style eggroll) and shopao (a meat-filled dumpling) from my husband's parents, and I've even tried my hand at making adobo (a traditional meat dish) and cassava cake (a cake made from coconut and cassava root).
At Christmastime we make our own Filipino star lantern and attend our church's annual Simbang Gabi (Filipino Christmas mass) in which the service is partially conducted in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. We've even managed to include traditional dress. Our son was baptized in a Barong Tagalog baptismal gown, and my husband and father-in-law wore Barongs for the ceremony as well. (The Barong Tagalog is a thin, embroidered formal garment that is worn by Filipino men for formal occasions.)
Surprisingly, the harder part of our cultural equation has been what to teach our children about my family. I'm a typical American with mixed ancestry over several generations—mostly Western European with a sprinkling of Native American. Growing up in the Midwest, I don't remember any specific food, music, or other tradition being touted as uniquely ours. This brings up the question, what is my culture? Good Midwestern family values? For that matter, what is American culture? Pioneer spirit? American Idol?
Which part of my ethnicity do I emphasize? I could bake kolaches (a Czech pastry) to honor my great grandmother's heritage or give a nod to my dad's German ancestry by cooking wiener schnitzel. Although I possess a CDIB card (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) documenting my few drops of Choctaw blood, my family never talked much about our Native American ancestry.
The answer—I decided—is all of the above. Being the parent of bicultural children has taught me that it's fine to start our own family traditions. I've told my kids the story of my maternal relatives staking a claim in the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run, and about how that land remained in our family until recently. We visited the site of my grandfather's former home and listened to him tell his stories about growing up on that farm.
Because some of my relatives emigrated from Germany, we've started a tradition of giving our children a German schultuete (a big cone-shaped package of school supplies and treats) on the first day of kindergarten. We've also attended local Oktoberfests to experience German music, dress, and food.
Last summer, while visiting family in Oklahoma, we attended a Native American powwow. We enjoyed watching the dancers in their fancy costumes and even danced in the circle during the time when all attendees were welcomed. Our children enjoyed the experience and brought home dream catchers to hang over their beds and "catch" the nightmares, as the Native American folktale goes.
I feel that teaching children about their heritage gives them roots in our increasingly transitional society. Not only do these traditions make fun family memories, but I'm also sure that an understanding of their family history will make our children more well-rounded adults.

Nigel Briggs and Des Dalton won Deeping St James Angling Club's Pairs Trophy match, fished at Lake Ross near Spalding on Sunday.
The club were fortunate to have booked the venue, which provided shelter from the elements for at least some of the anglers, with Briggs and Dalton taking 66lb 2oz.
Briggs was one of those who were exposed to the wind and rain but he was rewarded with a match-winning weight from peg number 5.
He chose to go on the method feeder due to the conditions, and fishing groundbait in the feeder and sweetcorn on the hook, he took carp to 5lb.
Later in the match, when the wind had abated, he switched to the pole and double maggot to take some quality roach finishing for his 48lb 6oz bag.
In second place, from peg 19, was Nick Preston whose weight of 35lb included more than 25lb of roach. Ray Torrington was third with 34lb from peg 12.

New York (Nov. 28)
The first Pan-American Conference for Labor Palestine, held in conjunction with the 23rd annual convention of the National Committee for Labor Palestine, opened tonight at the Hotel Commodore with delegates from ten countries of the western hemisphere demanding that "free Jewish immigration, unrestricted colonization and adequate self-defense" be substituted by Britain for the "police regime" now prevailing in Palestine.
Delegates from Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Dutch West Indies, Venezuela, Peru, Canada and the United States are attending the four-day convention, which is mapping plans for reaching the 1947 goal of $5,000,000 for the Histadruth. Isaac Hamlin, national secretary, reported that in 1945-46, the sum of $2,308,209 was raised for the Histadruth.
Principal speakers at the various sessions of the convention, which will continue through Sunday, will be Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, American delegate to the United Nations Assembly; Ira A. Hirschmann, President Roosevelt's special representative in the Middle East, author of "Life-Line to a Promised Land;" and Joseph Baratz, senior welfare officer of the Jewish Brigade, official Histadruth delegate to America.

The Oakland Raiders have announced three moves today that will get the team down to the NFL limit of 75 players. Oakland placed rookie running back Latavius Murray on injured reserve along with cornerback Joselio Hanson. The team also placed linebacker Miles Burris on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
With the injured reserve designations, Murray and Hanson are finished for the year. The Raiders are already using their IR exception on tackle Jared Veldheer in hopes he can come back this season. Burris will be on the PUP list until after week six, at which point he can return to the team or be placed on injured reserve. Murray was thought to have the potential to contribute this season, but ankle surgery last week ended that discussion. He will be healthy at some point during the season, but is now too far behind. Cornerback Tracy Porter will need to remain healthy because Hanson is the team's other nickle back and is gone for the season.
The Raiders announced cuts of 13 other players to reach the 75 player roster limit Monday. Here are the players waived: linebackers Keenan Clayton and Eric Harper, wide receivers Sam McGuffie, Tray Session, and Isaiah Williams, fullback Jon Hoese, cornerback Cory Nelms, center Andrew Robiskie, and defensive tackle Myles Wade. The team also waived/injured back-up center Alex Parsons and defensive end Brandon Bair as well as return man Josh Cribbs.

Steve Ditko Writes About His Role In Spider-Man's Creation
Famously reclusive and unwilling to do interviews, Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko has nonetheless long shared his side of the story concerning the creation of Marvel's friendly-neighborhood wall-crawler in a series of essays appeared in small-press comics and zines. His latest, "The Silent Self-Deceivers," has just been released, asking what exactly Stan Lee brought to the table.The Ditko Comics blog points to news of the release of the latest issue of Robin Snyder's The Comics, in which Ditko's latest essay debuts. In the introduction to the page-and-a-half piece the blog shares, Ditko hints at some bombshells he might be preparing to drop:
Which Marvel insiders saw, know about, Jack Kirby's 5 penciled Spider-Man pages?
Who saw them and yet won't say, tell, what is actually on those 5 Kirby S-M pages?
What kind of actual story line indications of supporting characters, dialogue bits, type of hero costume, action, is shown, revealed, in that S-M "creative" idea?
What are the actual Stan Lee S-M "ideas"?
Kirby, according to legend, penciled five pages of a Spider-Man origin before his work was rejected as "too heroic" by Stan Lee, with Ditko coming in to rework the material into the character and story we're all familiar with today.
"The Silent Self-Deceivers" is the second in a new cycle of Ditko essays, following on from "The Knowers & The Barkers," which appeared in Ditko's comic book, #17: Seventeen, earlier this year. The essays are described by Ditko and publisher Snyder as being "for those interested in Steve Ditko, who he is, what has he done, why he does it, and what he has been thinking."
This isn't the first time Ditko has attempted to set the record straight on Spider-Man's history; earlier essays – summarized, somewhat, by Steve Bissette here – have appeared across various publications and been collected in the 2008 zine The Avenging Mind.

- Antiaris toxicaria

image_caption = "Antiaris toxicaria"
regnum =
divisio = Magnoliophyta

ordo =

"Antiaris toxicaria" (Upas or Ipoh) is an
evergreen treein the family Moraceae, native to southeastern Asia, from Indiaand Sri Lankaeast to southern China, the Philippinesand Fiji; closely related species also occur in eastern Africa. It produces a highly poisonous latex, known in Java as "Upas", from the Javanese word for "poison".
It is a large tree, growing to 25-40 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter, often buttressed at the base, with whitish bark. The leaves are elliptic to obovate, 7-19 cm long and 3-6 cm broad. The
fruitis a red or purple drupe2 cm in diameter. The latex, present in the bark and foliage, contains a cardiac glycosidenamed antiarin, which is used as an arrowpoison.
The name of the upas tree became legendary from the mendacious account (professedly by one Foersch, who was a surgeon at
Semarangin 1773) published in the "London Magazine", December 1783, and popularized by Erasmus Darwinin "Loves of the Plants" (" The Botanic Garden", pt. ii.). The tree was said to destroy all animal life within a radius of 15 miles or more. The poison was fetched by condemned malefactors as an alternative to immediate execution; the criminal had to wait till the wind was blowing from him toward the tree, get the poison and get back before the wind changed; scarcely two out of twenty returned. All this is pure fable, and in good part not even traditional fable, but mere invention.
Literary allusions
Literary allusions to the tree's poisonous nature abound.
Byron, in the fourth canto of " Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", uses the upas to describe the hereditary depravity of original sin::Our life is a false nature – 'tis not in :The harmony of things, – this hard decree,:This uneradicable taint of sin,:This boundless upas, this all-blasting tree,:Whose root is earth, whose leaves and branches be:The skies which rain their plagues on men like dew – :Disease, death, bondage – all the woes we see – :And worse, the woes we see not – which throb thought:The immedicable soul, with heart-aches ever new.:: (CHP IV, 1126-1134)
Charlotte Brontë's " Jane Eyre", Mr. Rochester says of the attempt to hide Bertha Mason's existence from Jane::Concealing the mad-woman's neighbourhood from you, however, was something like covering a child with a cloak and laying it down near an upas-tree: that demon's vicinage is poisoned, and always was.
Charles Kingsley's "Westward Ho!" Kingsley likens the Jesuits to an Upas tree: : Had he been saved from them [the Jesuits] , he might have lived and died as simple and honest a gentleman as his brothers, who turned out like true Englishmen (as did all the Romish laity) to face the great Armada, and one of whom was fighting at that very minute under [sir John] St. Leger[of Annery] in Ireland, and as brave and loyal a soldier as those Roman Catholics whose noble blood has stained every Crimean battle-field; but his fate was appointed otherwise; and the Upas-shadow which has blighted the whole Romish Church, blighted him also.
Charles Dickens's " Little Dorrit", Young John Chivery refers to Arthur Clennam's arrival at the Marshalsea::'When you first came upon me, sir, in the Lodge, this day, more as if an Upas tree had been made a capture of than a private defendant, such mingled streams of feelings broke loose again within me, that everything was for the first few minutes swept away before them, and I was going round and round in a vortex...' Alexander Pushkinin his 1828 poem " Anchar" ('Upas Tree') () retells Foersch's story in poetic terms, writing about the upas tree, avoided by the birds and the beasts alike - but still used by human potentates as the source of poison to be used as weapon. [В. Г. БОГОЛЮБОВА (V.G. Bogolyubova) [http://feb-web.ru/feb/pushkin/serial/is2/is2-310-.htm "ЕЩЕ РАЗ ОБ ИСТОЧНИКАХ «АНЧАРА»"] (More on the sources of the "Anchar")] .
It is also used as an allegory of John Addington Symonds anxiety about his homosexuality in a peccant pamphlet of about 1870, and included under another title in his openly published poems of 1880.
Dorothy L. Sayers' " Unnatural Death" (1927), Lord Peter Wimseydescribes a hypothetical serial killer:'If you... go on killing everyone you meet till people begin to think you're first cousin to an upas tree, naturally you're found out in the end.'
María Amparo Ruiz de Burton's "The Squatter and the Don" states in chapter 32: : If conspicuousness and notoriety could mean greatness, we have our "great men" in California. But are they the Fire Pillars in our dark pilgrimage? Verily, no. They are upas trees, blighting life spreading desolation, ruin, death upon all they overshadow.
Sri Aurobindo's epic poem "Savitri", (Pg 222)::There Good, a faithless gardener of God,:Watered with virtue the world's upas-tree:And, careful of the outward word and act,:Engrafted his hypocrite blooms on native ill.
Christopher Morley's " The Haunted Bookshop" ::'"Jerry," said Roger, "You are a upas tree. Your shadow is poisonous!"'
Catherynne M. Valente's " The Orphan's Tales", " In the Cities of Coin and Spice", the manticores are born of the Upastree as helpless babies, and are frequently captured and caged. Francis Danby's painting of the Upas tree was exhibited in London in 1820.

Guest Rant by Linda Larson, "A Traveling Gardener, wandering, wondering, noticing. . . ."
Public gardens in North America welcome visitors from all over the world. While they generally announce themselves with a name sign and offer a map, some ditch the map and post directions in a casual way that leaves visitors hoping for deliverance out of the swamp garden.
Signs reflect the mission and attitudes of each garden and are the voice speaking directly to visitors. I was delighted to find the comforting voice of Benny Simpson "For crying out loud it all doesn't have to be natives" in the Ft. Worth Botanic Gardens.
In Tacoma, Washington's Ft. Defiance Park a sign tells the story of Ebenezer Roberts. As the newly appointed Superintendent of Parks in 1890, one of his first acts was to pull up all the "Keep off the grass" signs and instruct his crew to burn them. He wanted visitors to fully enjoy the grounds. His attitude is repeated in gardens who say to visitors "Please walk among the roses"or "Picnics Welcome Here."
Some gardens fall short of welcome by greeting visitors with a long list of things you must not do. I found the Will Rogers Gardens (photo above) empty of visitors on a perfect summer day. I wonder why?
As a passionate plant lover I naively assume everyone will walk with gentle respect. I recognize that gardens and parks differ in purpose and care required and it's reasonable for gardens to gently remind visitors of the best behaviors for the protection of the plants.
This can be done in a positive manner, like the sign in the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney Australia ("The Domain").
Lively games and large parties are best accommodated in open spaces of a park field.
In some cases the reminder requires a much stronger wording to get the point across. I found a wire cage and this emphatic signage in a garden near a university in British Columbia. Seriously who goes out to kick and punch trees?
A gentle "Please don't fly kites. They get stuck in the trees." helps provide a guideline with reason. This is the way we have always liked to be cautioned ever since the first parent in our lives said "No. . . because I said so."
It may be true, as some say, that signs in gardens take away from the landscape and spoil the beauty of their photo, but much of the signage in public gardens helps visitors appreciate and understand what they are seeing. And the signage is frequently bilingual – if you speak Latin and English. Certainly this is an area where gardens could make efforts to provide additional translations for visitors. Reliably around the world, plant name signs provide a common name, a location of origin and the Latin classification. Today, with our digital cameras at the ready, when we see a plant we love with the name attached we simply snap a photo and return home to our local nursery to secure that plant for our garden.
Some gardens, like the Dallas Botanical, provide garden tips such as directions for when to prune Azaleas, the history of medicinal plants or the cultural significance of a tree planting. One of my favorite signs distinguishing the differences between a damsel fly and a dragon fly appeared just at the moment I wondered aloud of the distinction as I was wandering in the Chicago Botanical Garden. I particularly like "Ground Under Repair" as an explanation for why a section of garden is without plants. I'd like one of those signs in my garden!
Gardens seem to me to be a wonderfully protected space and yet danger seems to lurk around every curve. While gardens are rightfully concerned about visitor safety, some cautions seem amusing, like the "Caution Hose Crossing Path Way" or "Caution Lake Edge" and my favorite – "Beware of Cactus."
I was baffled the first time I saw a sign warning of "Tree Failure," but over the years I've seen many warnings about things falling from trees. Trees do drop limbs and pine cones, which can weigh as much as 30 pounds, as well as cannonballs and coconuts.
I've seen many signs in my garden travels and all of them point me to more garden visits, despite the risks.
For me, gardens hold a promise of great delight and their signs speak to me during my visit. I'm on my way now, as I'm sure there will be frogs, right down this pathway!

A book lover herself, Bridget Moynahan says she's passing on her love of literature to her son Jack, 3 next month.
"I have pictures of him looking at books and flash cards when he's just sitting up. I have one picture where I was reading a book on Buddha and Buddhism and his face is in there, looking at the words," Bridget boasts to USA Today.
"We went through four books," she adds of story time the night before. "He's known his numbers and alphabet for some time now, and it's clearly from reading, unless he's going to accounting school on the side."
The movie star mom had her son with her as she worked on her latest film Ramona & Beezus, based on the wildly popular series of books by author Beverly Cleary.
"Jack was on set every day," says the movie's director Elizabeth Allen. "She'd dash off whenever she could. She was all warmth and kindness with him."
A single mom – she split from Jack's dad Tom Brady before he was born – Bridget is used to juggling work and motherhood.
"It's just what you do. If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area."
As for that very public breakup, Bridget doesn't plan on opening up about it any time soon.
"I don't see any upside in any of the drama being public for anyone. It's not really my style," she says. "At the end of the day, it's my family. We keep it private."

LORD! Really, you gotta get off that pony. Word's built-in styles are naught more than a GUI for CSS. That's it. That's Word's big secret. If someone pays ANY attention at all to using Word's styles, the resulting document is 5-mins of clean-up, pre-export, if that. Export, nuke the big old internal SS at the top of the html page, and slap in your own stylesheet. That's it.
Trust me, we see everything under the Sun here; LO, OO, Wordperfect, cobbled-together HTML, PDF's, faux-Word files exported from Acrobat (the WORST, period), and everything else, and a Word file created by someone who actually bothered to learn how to use it is the cleanest thing out there. Throw in the document NavMap and you can almost export directly to Sigil for epub-making.
You know I do this for a living, and I wouldn't even think twice about using Word to create a manuscript that I was going to subsequently turn into an ePUB. Even cruddy manuscripts can usually be cleaned up with some Regex. Obviously, YMMV, but it's not the program: it's the user. If someone bangs along using Ad Hoc styles, well, yeah, you're gonna get cruft. Someone tries to "convert" a PDF with Adobe Acrobat into Word, worse cruft, but that's Adobe, not Word. Someone invests 20 minutes in taking MS' online tutorial on styles? You're practically home-free on conversion. I mean it.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
First, I'm sorry that you are going through this and feeling worse. You seem quite in touch with how you feel and very aware of any issues you have to deal with. This tells me that you are motivated and insightful.
You said that you have seen your therapist for about 7 sessions so far. Depending on the type of therapy you are in, that could be a short or normal amount of time. I say this because although there are many different types of therapy, there are two that are most commonly used. Psychotherapy, basically "talk" therapy", can be open ended. You stop when you and the therapist feel you have gotten to the point you can cope on your own and your issues are manageable. Cognitive therapy, on the other hand, averages about 16 sessions. This type of therapy focuses on behavior based therapy. Homework assignments are common, making the actual needed therapy time less than regular therapy.
Your therapist is right. When you are in therapy, talking about your issues and feelings can make you feel a bit worse. You spend all that time talking about things that are upsetting you, and resolution of these issues is a slow process. Digging in and bringing up painful problems can make you more acutely aware of sadness, depression and other challenging feelings.However, if at any time you feel that you are not making progress and that your therapist is not listening to you and not responding in a helpful way, try another therapist. The trick here is to know when you are uncomfortable because you are working on a tough issue as opposed to when you just feel you are not making progress because the therapist is preventing your progress by not helping you appropriately.
However, I'm am most concerned that you have had feelings of hurting yourself but have not mentioned this to your therapist. It is important she is aware of how you feel so she may best assess how to treat you. If you are fearful you will be hospitalized, be aware that you can only be committed if you have a clear intention of hurting yourself. Otherwise, you can refuse treatment (this is true for the US. If you are elsewhere, you may ask your therapist for the rules around this). It is your right.
The fact that you are in therapy, that you are reaching out on Just Answer, and that you seem insightful and motivated all gives me the feeling that you are better off than you feel. Clients who are able to do those things often get better and do very well in therapy and beyond.
You may have already done this, but I suggest you seek out other ways to help yourself along with therapy. If I may suggest a few books that will give you some insight into your issues. One is called The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness by ***** *****, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. Another is Undoing Depression: What Therapy Doesn't Teach You and Medication Can't Give You by Richard O'Connor. Both of these can be found on Amazon.com or your local library may be able to get you a copy.
Most of all keep in mind that you are doing the right thing by reaching out and seeking help. Your willingness to do so will go a long way in helping you feel better.
I hope this has helped you,
Thank you this has helped a lot. I am in the UK so will ask my therapist about rules.
I will also try to be completley honest with her.
Thanks again..
You are welcome! Take care.

There is a public policy in favor of getting patentable claims into a patent. That is the core of the anti-submarine patent concern. If the purpose of 37 CFR 1.701(c) is to prevent patentees from being deprived of a portion of their 20-years- from-the-filing-date terms by reason of being held up in interferences while they are still applicants, why should the uninvolved claims get that benefit? ------- 012-0004.TXT Of course, one does not always know whether claims are conclusively uninvolved. If one's opponent has filed a 37 CFR 1.633(c)(3) motion to redesignate initially uninvolved claims as corresponding to the or a count and if the administrative patent judge has denied that motion, it is possible that one's opponent will raise that issue again at final hearing. Similarly, if one has filed a 37 CFR 1.633(c)(4) motion to-have initially involved claims designated as not corresponding to any count and if the administrative patent judge has granted that motion, it is possible that one's opponent will raise that issue again at final hearing. However, if claims were initially uninvolved and if one's opponent did not file a 37 CFR 1.633(c)(4) motion, then one can rest assured that those claims are going to remain uninvolved. ------- 012-0005.TXT I think that 37 CFR 1.701(c)(1) should ensure that such conclusively uninvolved claims do not get the benefit of the extension. To ensure that this is so, I suggest that you provide (1) that a applicant interferent does not need the administrative patent judge's permission to cancel conclusively uninvolved claims from an application in interference and to re-present those claims in a continuation application and (2) that, if an applicant leaves uninvolved claims in an application in interference for more than one month after the first round preliminary motions are filed if no 37 CFR 1.633(c)(4) motion is filed directed to those claims, then the applicant does not get the benefit of the extension for any claim. That should motivate applicants to get their conclusively uninvolved claims out of applications involved in interferences and into continuation applications!

Welcome to day three of Royal Ascot!
No rain overnight and no watering either. Outside chance of a light shower but very breezy. It's good to firm and the going can only get faster in the conditions today.
Today's best bets, by Ron Cox
Unless the vibes emanating from Ballydoyle are out of tune, Yeats (3.45) is right back to his best for a record fourth assault on the Gold Cup today. If that is the case, he should beat Geordieland again, and I think Patkai has plenty to prove even though Ryan Moore may have gone too soon with him when beaten by Geordieland at Sandown.
A possible draw bias makes the Britannia Handicap virtually impossible. I still harbour hopes for Mirrored, but he will have to come up the far rail and that could be a problem if William Haggas has called it right. The Newmarket trainer reckons they have over-watered on that side, in which case low numbers will be favoured. All in all, a race to leave alone.
Best wait for the King George V Handicap, and Zarinski (5.30). John Oxx's colt got off the mark when stepped up to this trip at Dundalk and he may have got in lightly at the weights. On testing ground, which he is not supposed to like, Zarinski finished three lengths behind Johann Zoffany at Navan last year. He is 14lb better off with the O'Brien runner, the mount of the trainer's inexperienced, but no doubt, promising son Joseph.
Take The Hint is a strong tip from Newmarket for the Ribblesdale Stakes, but it seems trainer John Gosden can do little right at present. I prefer Leocorno, though at the prices she is not a bet for me.
Paddy Power's Royal Ascot tipping competiton, day four
(Well, if this was a horse race, it would be a commentator's nightmare. After three days and nine races, no one has broken clear and umpteen of you are in contention. Our supposedly tricky races yesterday threw up yet more winners at shortish prices but only 15244 and Doctoroncall were able to get more than one of them. Meanwhile, MillieJ may have felt as grouchy as Ryan Moore after getting placed in all three races.
JDK1 edged into the lead, by dint of being the only one among the leaders to get a winner, while there were many of you who inched a little closer to the top from midfield. It's like the finish of the Wokingham, but with 82 runners – who can tell where our winner's going to come from?
Today, we'd like your tips in these races, all at Royal Ascot: the 3.45, the 4.20 and the 5.30. That's the Gold Cup, the Britannia and the King George V.
The prize this week is a £100 free bet with those lovely people at Paddy Power .
As ever, our champion will be the tipster who returns the best profit to notional level stakes of £1 at starting price on our nominated races, of which there will be three each day. Regarding any dispute, our decision is final.
New entrants are welcome to join in today, but you will start on -9. Good luck!

11.10am Queen's horses are always trying
Chris Cook: The Queen's got another couple of runners at Ascot today, having had a couple already this week and with two more to come tomorrow. Her purple and red silks are rarely seen for most of the year but you can't get away from them during Ascot week. It seems that, after her success in last year's Chesham Stakes, a special effort is being made to get her another winner, with the likes of Richard Hannon, Michael Bell and Sir Michael Stoute falling over themselves to provide it. Hannon and Bell can reasonably hope to get a knighthood if they manage it - Stoute already has one of those, but maybe he'd get a peerage or be invited to form a new government.
Some of these horses are running in handicaps and, as we all know, if you're going to win a handicap, it's not necessarily a good idea to win your warm-up race and get fired up the weights. So here's a hypothetical question - if a horse owned by the Queen were to be held up at the back and asked to make no effort at all in a race somewhere (and of course this has never ever happened), would the stewards have the gumption to throw the book at connections under the 'non-trier' rules? Or would they smile at each other and say: "I think that one might run well on Ladies' Day . . ."
Given that most stewarding panels seem to be made up of belted earls and honourable ladies, you'd want pretty big odds about the rule book being followed to the letter. Thankfully, no trainer would ever dream of running a Royal horse down the field for the sake of achieving or preserving an attractive handicap mark.
12.10pm Those Hunt Cup runners taken out at the start
Chris Cook: Hi Mike65ie. Sorry, I'm afraid the ruling on Docofthebay and Roaring Forte is the same as for all non-runners and you lose a point. We don't want to start differentiating between non-runners where you had plenty of time to make a new selection and non-runners that came too late to allow that. For the sake of consistency, it will be minus one across the board for all non-runners. I'm afraid you've just been hideously unlucky on this occasion, like all the punters who had backed those horses in the ante-post market.
Tiznow, Mick Kinane hasn't done less than 8-6 in the past year and, at 50, he presumably feels he's done enough time in the sauna. Weight looks like the reason he's not on Zarinski.
WalthamstowLad, glad you got that prize. Do tell us if you manage to turn a profit on those bets!
12.25pm Greg Wood marks your card
There is only one possible place to start any analysis of today's card, and that is Yeats's attempt to make history by winning a fourth Gold Cup. "Racing needs horses like this," John Magnier said after last year's victory, and it will be very surprisingly if Yeats does not shorten significantly from this morning's price of 9-4 in the run-up to the race, as punters try to buy themselves a piece of the moment.
Johnny Murtagh will be treating it like just another race, though, and so should anyone who is contemplating a bet. Even the early price is very short for a horse to do something that no other horse has done before, and while everyone wants him to win, goodwill alone will not get him home.
In fact, the more I look at this race, the more I am struck by just how much is being taken on trust where Yeats is concerned. His shocking run at Navan last time, for instance, in a race he normally wins, is being explained away as the result of heavy ground. Murtagh himself made this point yesterday, and insisted that Yeats will be a different horse on fast ground today.
He may be right, but it was Seamus Heffernan, and not Murtagh, who rode Yeats at Navan, so for all that Murtagh is a world-class jockey – his ride on Spacious yesterday will surely not be bettered all week – he can't know for sure just how the eight-year-old felt as he struggled home in sixth place.
Maybe it was the ground and nothing else, but maybe it was a combination of the ground and the fact that Yeats was feeling his years. If it was the latter, then unless Aidan O'Brien has found a way to reverse the ageing process, Yeats is a dreadful price today.
There are also a couple of strong formlines up against him, in the shape of the Yorkshire Cup – won by subsequent Coronation Cup winner Ask with today's runners Veracity (3rd), Washington Irving (4th) and Centennial (6th) behind – and the Henry II Stakes at Sandown, in which Geordieland put up the best performance of his career to beat Patkai by five lengths.
It is not just the naked eye which suggests that Geordieland was better than ever last time out. The clock agrees, with both the Racing Post and Timeform awarding him an outstanding timefigure. As devotees of the Beyer timefigures in America will tell you, though, it often proves very difficult for a horse to reproduce a "career" figure next time out, particularly on a second run back from a break.
This might sound like a tortuous argument, but it is quite possible that Geordieland simply ran too well last time out and the only way to go now is backwards. Patkai (3.45), on the other hand, also performed like a potentially top-class stayer in the same race, but was having his second run of the season and is arguably more likely to advance on that form today, rather than regress.
He is my idea of a win bet, though the price is nothing special, but I can't resist a small each-way dabble too on a horse who is the rank outsider of the field with many bookmakers. A horse like Sagara, well beaten here last year, deserves to be a 40-1 chance as he has come up short before and has no room for progress. The same seems true of Hindu Kush, while Centennial ran as if he wasn't right at all last time out.
Washington Irving, on the other hand, remains completely unexposed at two-and-a-half miles, but has frequently run as if it is the sort of trip that will see him at his best. This, remember, was the best of Aidan O'Brien's runners in the Derby last year, when he finished fifth behind New Approach, and he has been gelded since leaving Ballydoyle for 300,000 guineas at the end of last season.
Mike de Kock has shown recently that it is possible to coax improvement from ex-O'Brien runners when Coolmore has deemed them surplus to requirements. Washington Irving really could still be anything at this trip, and at 40-1 I can't let him run unbacked.
After Jealous Again's incredibly easy win in the Queen Mary yesterday, it would be simple to wade in with a maximum bet on Yogaroo, her stablemate from Wesley Ward's Californian yard, in the Norfolk Stakes. My initial worry this morning, though, was that there was nothing in the Queen Mary that really needed to chase a fast pace and finish strongly, similar tactics might well play into the hands of Monsieur Chevalier, who is the narrow favourite for today's race and without doubt a top-class juvenile.
Ward has not been quite so bullish about Yogaroo as he has about some of his other two-year-old runners, and Aegean in particular is starting to look like a certainty in the Albany Stakes tomorrow. At the prices, though, I just can't decide which way to fall and will probably suspend operations on the Americans until tomorrow.
It's also worth bearing in mind that Cannonball, Ward's older sprinter, has been declared for the Golden Jubilee on Saturday. He was right out at the back in the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday before running on really well in the final two furlongs to take sixth place. The last of the 33-1 went last night, but he is still a 25-1 chance this morning. What price will he be if one, or both, of Ward's juvenile runners over the next two days do the business in the manner of the first two?
The value bet in the Ribblesdale looks to be July Jasmine, the second-string from the Stoute yard, while Suruor (4.20) looks to have a bit more going for him in the Britannia than the average 40-1 chance.
Timeform hail Canford Cliffs and Jealous Again best for 20 years
1.20pm Tony Paley: The eyes didn't deceive then. Canford Cliffs and Jealous Again, both runaway winners of their races this week, are the best two-year-olds seen at Ascot for two decades according to Timeform.
Timeform spokesman Kieran Packman said: "Canford Cliffs is rated 125p, which puts him 4lb ahead of Three Valleys and 8lb ahead of any other Coventry Stakes winner in the last 20 years. The timefigure was an outstanding 122.
"Jealous Again is provisionally rated 119, in line with her exceptional timefigure. This places her ahead of Attraction (116p) as the best Queen Mary Stakes winner of the last 20 years."
Intriguingly, Timeform had Aegean, who runs tomorrow in the Albany Stakes for Wesley Ward and beat stablemate Jealous Again in April, rated just one point behind Aidan O'Brien's Lillie Langtry in advance of Jealous Again's run yesterday. The word is that Lillie Langtry is the best two-year-old filly O'Brien has ever sent to Royal Ascot. The Albany promises to be quite a race.
2.15pm Yogaroo - good thing or not?
Chris Cook: The rumour mill can't seem to make up its mind if the fourth American runner of the week is going to be their third winner. Yogaroo is said by some to be the worst of Wesley Ward's two-year-olds, nothing like as good as the two that have won. Meanwhile, others report that it beat Tuesday's 33-1 winner Strike The Tiger in a gallop in America recently.
Who do you believe? It will have to be good to beat Richard Hannon's hotpot Monsieur Chevalier, but Ward's two juveniles have been miles better than the domestic opposition so far.
2.20pm Greg Wood paddock report - Norfolk Stakes
Very nice bunch all round. Tawaabb looks very nice. Radiohead looked well as did Monsieur Chevalier but Yogaroo, although slihgtly on his toes, is the one really built for the job. This is a much nicer bunch on looks than the opener yesterday for instance.
2.33pm Radiohead wins dramatic Norfolk
The US runner Yogaroo couldn't break clear as his stablemates had done earlier in the week and when the pack closed around him inside the last two furlongs, he looked very tired. He staggered left, knocking into Monsieur Chevalier, who in turn bumped into Radiohead. Monsieur Chevalier couldn't recover but Radiohead (10-1) accelerated past the field to win impressively, brightening up Brian Meehan's season.
2.55pm Greg Wood paddock report - Ribblesdale Stakes
Flying Cloud was a standout but no negatives in the field for this one. If anything July Jasmine just on her toes and was led round by two handlers.
3.10pm Godolphin break duck for week with Flying Cloud
Tony Paley: Godolphin look to have a very smart filly in Flying Cloud who lived up to Greg Wood's billing before the race by winning the Ribblesdale Stakes in smooth style. Frankie Dettori, who put his finger up to his lips during his gestures to the stands on the run-in, immediately nominated the Irish Oaks as the next target for his impressive winner. She was well backed in to 5-1 at the off having been available at 9-1 this morning.
That victory takes Frankie Dettori to 41 winners in total and he is now tied with Mick Kinane as leading rider at the Royal meeting. Flame Of Gibraltar (12-1) ran a very encouraging race to finish second, having quickened up with the winner on the home turn. Outsider Uvinza (28-1) was back in third in a race in which market leaders Leocorno and Take The Hint were most disappointing.
3.40pm Greg Wood paddock report - Gold Cup
Veracity was a little bit reluctant to leave the parade ring. If I was to pick one best designed to dethrone a champion like Yeats it would be Patkai who looks big and strong and is really built for the job. Yeats himself is a venerable horse and is obviously getting on but that can't be a negative where he is concerned as he has been here and done it before.
3.50pm It's four Gold Cups for Yeats
Tony Paley: The Gold Cup lives up to the the billing as Yeats becomes the stuff of legend in horse racing and wins the Ascot Gold Cup for the fourth time. Everyone will rightly be talking about Yeats now and for some time but what a ride from Johnny Murtagh, who took the race by the scruff of the neck and sent his horse on from the home turn. The information we got about Yeats was right - we were told he had really blossomed in the last fortnight and that proved to be the case on the day as he was backed as if defeat was out of the question from 5-2 to 6-4 on the day.
There was a fright a furlong out when Patkai (9-2) tried hard to wear him down but Yeats was not for passing. After Murtagh had gone for broke, Geordieland was badly trapped in the pack under Shane Kelly. He was still travelling well but did not get a run. After he did get out he never really threatened but Murtagh's move was a race-winning one. He won by two and a half lengths and 15 with Geordieland (11-4) in third. Ladbrokes are 5-1 about Yeats winning the race for a fifth time next year!
4.35pm Hills are alive as Fareer wins thriller
Tony Paley: A thrilling finish in the Britannia Handicap as Fareer (20-1) wins a thriller, edging home by a head, a short-head and a head from Secret Society (22-1), Mirrored (16-1) and Espiritu (20-1). Mirrored, on which Mick Kinane carried a couple of pounds overweight, did not get the clearest of passages. This is a race that invariably works out well and this Michael Stoute-trained runner is definitely one to note.
5.10pm Glass Harmonium first past post in rough race
Tony Paley: Glass Harmonium (8-1) won the Hampton Court Stakes but hung badly right in the closing stages and there was contact between the winner and runner-up Cashelgar (20-1). Ryan Moore's mount is 1-9 to keep the race on Betfair but the stewards inquiry is ongoing. Monitor Closely (15-2) was back in third.
Hoofnote: Result stands.
The last race, the King George V Handicap, is won in shock style by Cosmic Sun at 66-1 with Chiberta King (8-1), Barwell Bridge (12-1) and Zarinski (9-2 Fav) following him home.

The Blaugrana youth academy product holds the Catalan club in the highest esteem, but is keen to stress that he is loving life at Napoli.
The Spain international is currently on loan to Napoli from Liverpool but his fine form for the Partenopei, coupled with Victor Valdes' decision to leave the Blaugrana at the end of the season, has prompted intense speculation regarding a return to Camp Nou.
However, Reina, who came through the Catalan club's youth team ranks, says that nothing has yet been decided as of yet.
"Anyone lucky enough to play for Barca during their career should feel privileged," the 31-year-old shot-stopper told Mundo Deportivo.
"I had the good fortune of being able to play there and spent many happy years there. So, I would be happy to return, but it's difficult to make any assumptions.
"It's nice when a club like Barcelona is following you but I just want to do well with Napoli to bring joy to the people of Naples."
Reina admitted, though, that he cannot quite comprehend why his international colleague Valdes wants to leave Barca.
"It's difficult to understand what his motives are but you have to respect them," he said.
"He can never be accused of a lack of professionalism at any time. He has given everything for Barca, he was won everything and - why not say it - has been the best goalkeeper in the history of Barca.
"If he ends up leaving, people should be grateful for what Victor has given to the club."

hahaha.. I'm an owner of Nokia 808 PureView since it's day of release (June 2012) and I am very proud. Close to the top spot should be Samsung Galaxy Note 2 because of the S-Pen but I think this was an innovation last year with the 1st Galaxy Note that's why it did not make it.
been a loyal Nokia supporter and my last 2 phones were Nokia N82 and Nokia N8 respectively but too bad I'm planning to ditch my Nokia 808 PureView for a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I already pre-ordered on my carrier here in the Philippines and I'll be getting the new Galaxy Note 2 within this week. It will be my 1st time to own an android device
saw the YouTube demo's of this monster phablet and holy **** I was easily sold. too many things to do, to many things to discover than just shoot photos. I ain't really a professional photographer in the 1st place. I think if Nokia focused on Symbian and not the very gay WP8 (just like Elop), there are really lots of things that can be done on a Symbian device. It's the OS that really counts now for me.

"It's the OS that really counts now for me"
well for most people and this is why Nokia's still dying. Nokia going with Windowns, won't be able to hold em down much longer. They have to go with Android soon or later to have better platform to compete on. I've never used a Windows 8 phone before but since windows phones aren't doing good(beside 920), I'm worried that the app market would be too weak and also have concern about the capabilities of communicating on Windows platform with non Windows users(which are most nowadays).
920 did sell really well in last month over europe but I think the demand will slow down quick just like it did with the 900.

I find it funny that people here keep talking about the note2's spen,hovering crap and pop up windows, geez why do I even want a spen? that all has been done previously with styluses and now you people are saying its an innovation?
Forget the 41mp thing you samsung/android fanboys keep bashing but what about the fact that the 808 has Rich Recording Technology! being able to record audio up to 140db without distortion! Nobody has done that! not samsung not apple, No one!
Or what about the fact that the 808 can render up to 1 billion pixels on a bloody arm11 cpu!
Lastly tell me what other smartphone can play and record 1080p videos with lossless zoom on an arm11 1 Ghz single core processor? please?
Thats Innovation! thinking outside the box! not updating some stuff that was on previous devices
182. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
nokia is the leader of all innovation!!!
apple apply to patent the things that isnt their own!!
while samsung, just next to nokia i suppose! but still nokia is the leader!!!
808 pureview - god of camera phone!
lumia 920 - king of camera phone!
N8 - retired king!(but still the best)
others - just some wannabes!
the galaxy camera is good but not even comparable to 808! the only good thing about is is that it got optical zoom..but nokia has loseless zooming that will not damage the quality of the picture of the video!

268. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
hate all you want and hate all you like!! but you cant deny the fact that 808 pureview is godzillion advance from the competition...
and besides..this is made to be a camera phone!! not a superphone for all of you android supporters!
808 will replace compact camera!
285. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
When it comes to innovation Nokia wins with hands down. They didn't buy technology from someone else. they dreamed it up. Their oversamplin 41 mpx monstrosity does the job excellent and shows what can be done with small optics if you know what you're doing.
287. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
you android folks just cant accept the fact that the pureview tech will NEVER be available in you platform!!!!
bashing the tech that nokia made in 808 pureview dont make your android phone any better!
the 808 will just replace compact camera not DSLR! a compact camera with a la DSLR! and for me will replace a DSLR actually since DSLR is huge! i cant use or will carry it with me all the time!
and besides the one that is awarded is the camera tech! not the OS! hello!!!

exactly, this is about the camera tech, that took 5 years to develop and when people heard rumors of a 41mp sensor they all said it must be bs. then it came out and shocked everyone. thats real innovation something that sounds to good to be true and actually living up to it. never been done before and hasnt since.
808 won easily this year

lol, people are pathetic :D they are just so frustrated and miserable that Pureview isnt available on other phones, even my really neutral comment got 8 thumbs down LOL :D.. Shows how frustrated they are, thumbs down for any comment that explains the pureview, android fans are really pathetic sometimes
Well professionals made their choice and the results are given in the article, they know more than all you losers that keep bashing everything, so lets put a pin in that :)
Note : Please dont cry here because you arent the owner of any of these companies and cus you arent paid to waste your time :P

what about the Padfone 2, isn't it an innovation

Not really... just evolution. The first Padfone was innovation.

i meant the Padfone (thing) not just Padfone 2, still the innovation is in favor of Asus

While the first Padfone was launched in 2012, it was already developed in summer 2011. Not sure if this was taken into account by PA, but its a possibility. That could be the reason its not on the list. The Padfone, however, should definitely be considered otherwise. Asus did a fantastic job with that one.
