RALEIGH, N.C. -- Tampa Bay goalie Mathieu Garon made 35 saves in his season debut as the Lightning picked up goals from four players in a 4-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night at PNC Arena.
The Hurricanes (0-2) have won only their fourth home opener in 15 years since the franchise relocated to North Carolina. Carolina lost its season opener 5-1 Saturday at Florida.
The Lightning, who lost Monday on the road to the New York Islanders, struck with first-period goals from Tom Pyatt and Cory Conacher.
Conacher has points in all three games this season for Tampa Bay (2-1).
Jeff Skinner's power-play goal early in the second period allowed the Hurricanes to close within 2-1. Jordan Staal assisted on the play for his first point with the team since arriving in an offseason trade from Pittsburgh.
Tampa Bay's Keith Aulie tallied less than two minutes into the third period to curtail Carolina's short-lived momentum before teammate Ryan Malone added a power-play goal midway through the third period. Malone's goal came when the Hurricanes' defense shifted out of position.
Garon was busiest in the third period, stopping all 15 shots.
The Hurricanes went with goalie Cam Ward even though he was pulled after one period of the opener, when he surrendered four goals. He had trouble again in the first period, making only six saves on eight shots. He finished the night with 22 saves.
NOTES: Former NHL Rookie of the Year Jeff Skinner was moved off a line with center Staal as the Hurricanes reworked combinations from the opener. Skinner and Staal were both minus-2 in plus/minus in the opener. ... Tampa Bay used defenseman Brian Lee and center Dana Tyrell for their first action of the season in the third game. ... Forward Kevin Westgarth, who was acquired about a week earlier from the Los Angeles Kings, made his Carolina debut after he was a healthy scratch for the opener. Westgarth, who lives in Raleigh and had worked out with some of the Hurricanes during the lockout, is a son-in-law of former NFL coach Bill Cowher. ... Tampa Bay and Carolina split six games last season, with the Lightning winning once in overtime. ... This is the second year in a row that Carolina's home opener came against Tampa Bay. Standing-room-only tickets were sold for the game. ... The Lightning begins a five-game homestand Friday night, with Ottawa the first opponent during that stretch. Carolina plays Thursday against the Sabres, the start of a home-and-home series that concludes Friday in Buffalo.

The Kabyle Kingdom (Moorish: ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵜⵉⵇⵠⴰⵢⵍⵉⵢⵉⵜ Tagldit Tiqvayliyit), also called the Kingdom of the Kabyles or Kingdom of Kabylia, was a Moorish state founded by Ayrad Barbarossa in 1517, when he captured the fortress of Tacirte (present-day Dzayer) to the Spanish. However, the Spanish retook the city of Dzayer in 1519, just after capture of Tlemcen by the Kabyles. Barbarossa recaptured the city definitively in 1525, and in 1529 the Spanish Peñon in the capture of Dzayer. Subsequently, the Kabyles attacked the Spanish kingdom of Africa and in 1534 Barbarossa took Carthage. However, in 1535 emperor Charles V assembled a great army that recaptured Carthage and expelled the Moors from the kingdom of Africa. Thus, overtaken by the overwhelming power of the Spanish Monarchy, Barbarossa made his kingdom a corsair state, whose Barbary privateers operated attacking the coasts of the kingdoms of Africa, Castile, Valencia, Sardinia, Sicily and the places of Oran (present-day Wehran), Ceuta, Melilla and Tanger.
On 14 June 1830, a strong French army of 34,000 soldiers landed at Zeralda (27 km west of Dzayer) 1830 and entered Dzayer on 5 July after a three-week campaign against the Kabylian forces. King Ishak Dawed II agreed to surrender and was forced to hand over the crown to the French. This marked the end of the Kabyle Kingdom, which was divided in a number of petty states, and the start of French rule in Mauritania.

YUP,They are now officially having winter vacation...until March next year:) oh My GOD.
well, of course. me included. I just started my winter vacation this week, too.
so..to give them a surprise ...I took them to the movies which happened to screen the supposed-to-be summer movie this year:)But in Korea, it was deliberately distributed this winter! and of course in Korean.
like any other kid-animation, most of them are dubbed into Korean language. Well, since Eyra and Freya are now just like any other Korean kids who talk in Korean ^-^..I didn't have to bother looking for the original version of this Disney's Plane or 비행기 (bihaengki) in Korean language.
and..what could be more interesting for them than...having two large cups of drinks and sweet popcorn ..a combo set ....to accompany them watching the movie.
Wel...actually...it IS NOT the popcorn that they wanted...they just wanted to have the plane characters attached on top of the lid.
hmm...marketing DOES indeed 'robbed' a lot of money out of every parents' pocket.
Even..the movie ticket is WAY cheaper than this Combo Set.
oh, well.....
* have a great holiday, kiddos.:)
and I just bought them a book from Youngpoong Bookstore.
They love it.

Joint action of 1 mm caffeine and NO3– after exposure to NO3– alone did not increase tension output of excised, curarized gastrocnemius muscles of healthy mice beyond NO3– values. In dystrophic mouse muscles, twitch tension increased further and 1.5 times as much as in 1 mm caffeine alone. In both muscles caffeine pretreatment permitted NO3– further to enhance twitch tension as though it were acting alone. Caffeine enhancement of tetanus tension disappeared in normal and rose further in dystrophic muscles. In both muscles jointly evoked maximal twitch tensions were the same regardless of pretreatment. Neither agent alone could duplicate jointly elicited tension increases. In excised, curarized frog sartorius muscles jointly produced twitch tensions after NO3– pretreatment were the sum of individual NO3– and caffeine enhancements. Caffeine pretreatment reduced the subsequent NO3– alone. These results suggest defects in NO3–-susceptible Ca++ sites of dystrophic membranes, and greater sensitivity to caffeine-induced Ca++ mobility in frog than in mouse muscles.

Career Change Ideas
November 5, 2011 by staff
Career Change Ideas, It can be frustrating if you are in the process of making a career change. Whether your idea or change was one that was made for you because of the economy or their own struggle with balancing work / life … is difficult. I know. I've been there.
There is a new staff organization in the city, Mom Corps, which is helping people return (many of whom are mothers) to the labor market as employers are being more flexible with schedules and open to ideas such as working from home … problems that may have prevented qualified people working in the past.
But if you go to work in Houston or change careers – ready! Houston Mother Meera Body President Naehr are five tips that can help you be more confident and ready when the right opportunity presents itself (as in the hiring of Houston!) Can take!
# 1 Be Prepared
Show employers that are willing to work. Update your resume, is a modern wardrobe, and be prepared to explain gaps in employment. Identify your specific industry and transferable skills and abilities do not forget perfected through volunteer service. Also be sure to thoroughly research prospective employers.
# 2 Flexibility Address
Do not be shy about being honest about their must-have for flexibility. Be specific about what needs flexibility in its position and consider keeping "nice to have" applications until you have proven yourself to your employer.
# 3 Redefine your success
The fact that you left the labor market at a certain level does not mean you need to return to the same level. Many low-level jobs offer more flexibility and less stress. Tell employers if you are open to a lower level job and I do not think too skilled.
# 4 Think Small
Often large companies do not have the ability to be flexible. Smaller companies tend to be more open to alternative staffing situations and jump at the opportunity to save money by hiring someone with more experience working part time.
# 5 Tell your friends
You never know who within their own network might have the right connections for your dream job. Tell people when you start your job search. You can also expand your circle of contacts, attending networking events and meetings. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is current and always pay with interest any track that you receive.
For professionals seeking a career change, greater flexibility in their professional lives, or simply need to return to work, interested candidates should Naehr register with Mom Corps www.momcorps.com where you can easily upload your resume (it's free!) and receive email updates with employment opportunities.
Interested in working for the mother's body? They are hiring a part-timeanlyst of benefits, a developer of SSRS reports and collections agent at his office in Houston!
More About Mom Body:
Mom Corps was founded on the idea that there is an enormous amount of untapped talent among qualified professionals who have left the traditional workforce because they could not find the balance that needs to manage his career and family life. With the most demanding professionals flexibility in their jobs and work environments, Mom Corps has become a national leader in the niche flexible staffing and resource companies to go searching for exceptional candidates.
New Mom Body President Meera Naehr Houston has identified a great need for the concept of Mom Corps in Houston, where she has seen many talented professionals and mothers who seek nontraditional career options or be overlooked by companies traditional search. She has also seen companies that need to react quickly to the changing economic landscape with the use of interim talent, while working to keep their most valuable assets – your employees – by offering greater flexibility.
"Not only our business model allow us to help improve the lives of our candidates with flexible working arrangements, but also helps our clients improve their competitive advantage in attracting and retaining top talent, while better management their costs. "Naehr says. "It's a solution that works well in our dynamic economic environment."

My Mum's Garden
Gardening Australia Magazine, May 2012
When Josh Byrne visits his mum at the home she shares with his stepfather, he is always inspired by their design innovations. It's more like an outdoor house than a traditional garden, and the couple are constantly changing aspects of it to suit their evolving needs.
My mum, Rosslyn de Souza, will happily confess that I didn't get my green thumb from her. However, she has always had a flair for design and, together with my stepfather, Ian de Souza, an artist and musician, she has created one of my favourite gardens.
Tucked away behind a huge limestone wall in Fremantle, is an inspiring space that challenges conventional perception of what a garden is, as well as notions about where a house starts and where it finishes. Mum and Ian created 'outdoor rooms' long before it was trendy, by literally living outdoors, in a simple yet stylish way that works so well with the local climate. What's been fascinating for me has been how the place has evolved over the years, either as the result of Ian's artistic urges, or the more practical needs of making the space work for them.
Evolving Space
As Mum and Ian have grown older, they have modified the space around them to be comfortable and practical.
What was once an entirely outdoor home has now evolved into something quite different. Early on, the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were all outside. Surrounded by the high, natural limestone boundary wall, the space was private and the style of living, though unconventional, was quite suitable for Fremantle's climate. An old train carriage functioned as studio space and, in winter, if it was too cold to sleep outdoors, a small rammed earth cottage served as a bedroom.
During the colder months, Mum and Ian often packed up and went travelling in warmer climes, before returning for the spring and summer. Now that they are getting older and have grandchildren to gloat over, the annual trip for months at a time isn't so appealing. Instead, they have put their energy into transforming their home into something that is comfortable year-round.
At first, the changes were subtle. The bathroom was enclosed in one section of the courtyard but surrounded by glass so it still felt open, while the train carriage was extended with a similar style of glass walling to create an additional cosy room.
One of the biggest alterations involved covering a large section of garden under a solid pergola. Although I feared this would make the space feel claustrophobic, it works very well. What was once a courtyard is now a room that feels like it is still surrounded by garden, not walls.
Weather Protection
As well as being sheltered from rain, the garden is also protected from the hot sun, thanks to insulation in the pergola's roof. Large sliding glass doors have also been added on the southern side where the weather comes from, and temporary, heavy-duty, clear cafe blinds put in on the northern side. Most of the time these are kept open, allowing cool breezes through, but they can be closed to provide shelter in the event of strong winds or rain. This means that they can now leave furniture, rugs and artwork out all year, rather than constantly putting them away.
Another change has been the addition of a deck between the cottage and the train carriage. Made from external-grade plywood, the deck spans the once uneven DIY paving, from one threshold to the next, removing the step down and eliminating trip hazards. The light-hued wood, finished with a pale stain and natural wood oil, also helps brighten the space. The result is an area that's safer and easy on the joints, and was cost-effective to install.
The next big change on the drawing board will see the northern end of the courtyard completely enclosed in glass to form a new kitchen, with lots of windows that can be opened up so that Ian still feels like he is cooking outdoors. I'm sure this won't be the end of it - I just wonder what they have planned next.
Feature Plants
There's a lot more to this garden than plants, but they still play a critical role. Here are some of Mum's and Ian's favourites.
- Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) The leaves, lush green in summer and purple in autumn, contrast with the limestone walls.
- Giant Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai) This provides a tropical feel and sense of scale at the entrance, and requires little water.
- Fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) This is Ian's favourite plant, loved for its sculptural look.
- BougainvilleaBougainvillea spp.) Planted extensively around the boundary, it provides screening for privacy and its thorns deter anyone from scaling walls.
Josh's favourite spots in the garden
- An arrival courtyard created at the entrance to the garden at the end of the 'battleaxe' driveway marks a transition from the outside world to the private space. Visitors to the home are greeted by large wooden doors, artwork and lush plantings.
- Boldly painted feature walls, along with other walls made from local natural limestone, form a strong backdrop. These are the 'walls' of the house.
- Vertical plantings around the perimeter soften the look of the walls and help keep the place cool in summer. They also create a feeling of privacy.
- Running water spilling over a large pane of glass into a water feature in a corner of the courtyard provides tranquil background noise and cools the space, as well as serving as an interesting focal point.
- 'Window views' have been created at various points from the buildings that look out onto details such as textured stonework, architectural plants or sculptural works. These are lit up at night.

You're now in the Outskirts of Tairon.* Start off by saving your game at the nearby save statue. Jump to the street below, and start to run down the alleyway. Around the corner are 3 Vigoorian Guards, and make their existence quick and painless. Keep going down the pathway, and a Kunai note will fly by. Read it, and it'll tell you to go visit Han's Bar. Apparently, they have information on where you can find this Lord Doku. Keep going forward, and you'll reach the Twin Serpents Plaza. Look to the left for a small doorway behind an enclosed fence. Go inside, and open the chest to receive a Great Spirit Elixir. Now, go down the left hallway, and kill the 3 Vigoorian Guards. Yet again, nothing we haven't seen before. Open the doorway, and you'll now be in front of the Military Gate. Go along the left wall, and check the ninja's body for a Technique Scroll: Guillotine Throw. It's a fairly useful move that can be operated by jumping at an enemy, and pressing Y (while above their head). Run up to the gate, and check the other ninja body for some much needed arrows. Go right towards the door with the yellow dot on it. Suddenly, three Vigoorian soldiers will drop down. One of them has a nade launcher, so avoid the nades, and take out the usual grunts. Now's a great time to use some ultimate techniques considering you have vast space to navigate with. Once they're dead, head up to the yellow door, and press X to open it. Three soldiers are on the other side, and again, make their lives worthless. By now, you should see a "Skull" door to your right, along with a shiny treasure chest, and golden scarab on the ground. You cannot reach this area yet until later on in the game. Run straight down the street, but don't go left. Keep going straight, and turn right around the corner. Go to the end of the street to find a Top portion of the Stone Tablet. Again, this is a puzzle you will accumulate throughout the game, so no need to worry about it now. Run back to the T-way from before, and three Vigoorian guards will be there. Kill them all, and go down the steps you passed before. - The 3 Vigoorian Guards you just fought are actually part of an infinite respawn pool. You can check out the Secrets section on how the process exactly works. Once you run down the steps, a Kunai note should hit the ledge. Read it, and it says that anything blue can solve your problems. Pull out your bow, and snipe off the guard on the platform to your right, and straight ahead. Once they're dead, look where the Kunai note landed. There's a small blue ledge there. Run off the ledge, and Ryu will flip (but hang) onto the railing. Shimmy to your right, and jump up. Open the chest to receive a Life of the Gods. Shimmy back to where you were, and look to your right along the building wall. Look slightly up, and there should be a highly-placed blue railing. Walk down the steps a bit, then turn right, and wall run. Ryu will grab a hold of the ledge. Shimmy to your left, then jump onto the guidance wire, and cross the opening. Open the next chest for a Thousand Lives of the Gods. Quickly pull out your bow, and snipe the 2 guards that pop out (from the stairwell you were on before). Now, jump down to the street level. There should be a door on your left marked with a "Lily" symbol. Remember this location. Run down to the end of the streetway, and open the door to enter the Clock Tower Plaza. ____________________ \ Clock Tower Plaza } ===================== The entire region looks sort of like this: ________ _________ /=========/ / Green | ] Red \ /Nunchakus/ / Door | ]Door \/ / ___________ / | ]_____ \ [Multi-Color] /Muramasa's | \ \| Door |___/ Shop | \ | \ / \ ____DOOR________________________/ | / | | | | | | | START | Start off by taking the left pathway, then making a right at the Y. Check the ninja's body for the Nunchakus. This is the first alternate primary weapon you can find in the game. Unfortunately, the nunchakus don't yield a lot of damage, nor do they have an ultimate technique. The excellent trait about them is that they can yield high-hitting combos. Now, go right towards the green door, and a quick cutscene will pop up. One of the doorways from before will lock. You'll have to take care of 4 Vigoorian Guards, including two captains (with grenade launchers). Once they're dead, prison bars will slide up from the DOOR (listed on the map above). Run to this doorway (it's a yellow arched doorway), and run up the stairs. Fight off the three guards in the stairwell (block the pistols shots, and run along the wall). Then continue to the very top. Walk past the Clock Tower, and you'll have to face 3 Black Ninjas. These are one of your most formidable common enemies throughout the game. They're equipped with explosive shurikens, and have fast attacks. Always BLOCK against them. You can get more in-depth strategies under the Enemies section. Once you've killed them, check the chest near the edge of the wall for a Spirit of the Devils. Use this item; it'll upgrade your Ninpo by one level. Run back down to the Green Door, and hit the lever to the right of it. This will unlock it. Now, open the green door, and proceed inside. Again, you'll have to face 3 Black Ninjas that drop down from above. Use the same tactics from before, and use Ninpo Magic if the situation is desperate. Avoid powerful attacks though, as you'll be exposed too long. You'll also receive a Kunai note saying that these ninjas are part of the Black Spider Clan, one that opposes the Hayabusa Clan. Make sure they do not leave the city alive. Look to your left for a water fountain. Walk up to it, and press X to receive Golden Scarab #1. Keep going straight, but this time, go left along the partial stairwell. It should elevate you slightly, and guide you along a large fence blocking in a city square. Look to your left for a small alley. Run in there, then wall jump 4x to reach an area above. Jump across the small pit, and run sideways along the blue-colored portion of the wall. Check the ninja's body for Suke's Diary. *The Diary is apparently of a ninja from the Black Spider Clan. He suffered a mortal wound, and is about to die, but during his life, he met a "very" beautiful woman in Tairon. Sounds like a cheesy sex novel.* Anyhow, it's just to provide some background information about a character you're going to meet. Grab Golden Scarab #2 on the ground, then jump across the small pit. Open the chest to receive a Great Devil Elixir. Hit the lever to unlock the multi-colored door below. Before jumping down below, head back to the Green Door area from before. Rather than going left (to where that alley was), head down the right street. Go all the way to the end, then go in the nearby alley. Perform a running side jump two times to reach the balcony ledge above. Drop down, and you'll be forced to deal with four black Ninjas. Be careful though as the fighting arena is small, and has four pillars (you can use them for shelter). Once you've finished off the ninjas, open the chest in the far corner for 5,000 essence. Now, head back to the multi-colored door. Open it up (thanks to the switch above unlocking it). Ryu will now be on Pleasure Street. Move straight ahead to Han's Bar. *A brief cutscene will show a bouncer telling Ryu that he cannot enter the party without a ticket. He must have a ticket to enter.* Go to the right of Han's Bar, and look along the building's wall. You should see a bulletin board there. Press X to read it. *Apparently, Muramasa has a contest out. Whoever purchases items from his store can receive a ticket to Han's Bar. The contest ends today.* - Before leaving though, a Kunai note should land against the wall (near the corner of Han's Bar). Read the note, and it says that Ayane left a "legendary" weapon in Tairon. Only a Ninja can reach the place of its hidden location. Look to your right, and there should be a zig-zagged alley as shown below. \Scarab\ To reach the area, look along the alley \ #3 | walls for BLUE zig-zag lines. You should >>/ |<-- Secret Weapon see the blue panels where the arrows are >>/ / pointing to in my guide. Take Ryu, and run \ \<< SIDEWAYS along these blue panels, but jump \ \<< at the end of each so Ryu ricochets from >>/ / one wall to the next. On the third and >>/ / final panel, jump, and then press X while in mid-air. This will give you a temporary boost in height, which should be just enough to reach the secret weapon. - The secret weapon is inside a small metal chute. Press X to yank it out of there. You have receive the Windmill Shuriken. It's basically a shuriken that does tons of more damage, and can decapitate enemies. Also, check the power statue to the right of the weapon to refill all of your energy. Jump down to the alley, and run to the end of the alley to receive Golden Scarab #3. Once you've done this, run back to Muramasa's Shop in the Clock Tower Plaza. His store is located on one of the street corners. Enter inside, and buy ANYTHING from him. Heck, it can be a simple arrow, or a new technique scroll. Right before you leave, he'll hand you Han's Ticket as part of the promotion offer you read before. You MUST read the ad on the bulletin board, otherwise, he will not give you the ticket. Run back to Han's Bar, and an FMV cutscene will open up. *Suddenly, before we can enter, all of the party guests inside will sprint out of the building. A large dinosaur creature will leap out as well, causing pure havoc/terror. Suddenly, a very "gifted" woman leaps out, and bashes the creature with her gigantic warhammer. She introduces herself as Rachel, the Fiend Hunter. They both go to the rooftop, where Ryu explains that he's currently searching for Doku, Lord of the Greater Fiends. Rachel tries to explain that she would have killed him before if it was possible, but apparently it wasn't. She knows nothing of his whereabouts. Rachel then flings away using a grappling hook. A new character named Gamov appears out of thin air, and let's Ryu know that he's been watching his every move. Before Ryu can get any definite answers, Gamov leaps off a building edge, and vanishes into thin air.* [[[ NO BOSS - Wahoo! ]]]

- Everyone: Some weeks ago I sent out an entreaty for some donations so I
could have some more bumper stickers printed up for the upcoming Porcupine
Freedom Festival (to be held late this month in Lancaster in the Free State
of New Hampshire).
Bumper sticker? Yeah, this one: [image: LIVEfreeORdieFSPyellow.gif]
I generally give these bumper stickers away for free, or only charge a buck
apiece. They are *designed* for people who live outside of New Hampshire.
And they are designed to drive people to the Free State Project web
especially those who have never heard of the FSP in the past. Thus, the
PorcFest is the perfect venue to be distributing these great little pieces
of advertising, since people converge on the gathering from all over the
country ("You promise you'll put one on each of your cars' bumpers in
Texas?" "Yes." "Okay, here, take three for free.")
So what response did I get? One person sent me $50 via my PayPal account
(bless you!). The cost of getting the bumper stickers printed up is $1 each.
The PorcFest already has almost 500 people officially signed up, and all the
cabins and motel rooms are already reserved (and that's ONLY for
Freestaters; We have the entire Rogers Campground entirely to ourselves this
year). That means that this is going to be the biggest PorcFest yet, with
possibly a thousand liberty-lovers there from all over the world. So I want
to get at least 300 to 500 of the bumper stickers to hand out. They'll
result in advertising all over the country.
So how about sending some money so I can do it? It's easy to do with PayPal.
Just go here<https://personal.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/send_money>,
and use my email address of tim@....
It pays to advertise! Especially for the PorFest and the Free State

The news that multiplayer is going to be included in Mass Effect 3 has caused quite a stir lately, so I thought I would take the time to voice what I want from Galaxy at War.
- Deep customisation. I would love a system like Uncharted 3 or Black Ops in which completing goals and killing enemies yields a sort of fiscal reward, one that can be used to purchase new weapons and armour etc.
- Loot. Because I love loot.
- A deep story. I realise of course that it is going to be integrated into the single player narrative, but I would like our co-op missions to be more than random objective prompts flashing on the screen with generic bad guys. Not that I'm worried. This is BioWare after all.
- A zombies mode with Husks spawning non-stop until all players are dead a la Nazi Zombies.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Beyond all the fireworks, barbeques, and hotdog-eating contests, the Fourth of July is a day for declarations of independence. And that's the theme today for our series, Three Books. These reading recommendations come from writer, Will Layman.
Mr. WILL LAYMAN (Writer): From the moment Huckleberry Finn sat on his raft and decided, all right, then, I'll go to hell, great American books have featured people setting off on their own, bound for the new. I'm crazy about these three rebellion stories ? tales of young folks splitting from parents, from society, and from their past. Each is both personal and political ? just right for the July of an election year rife with questions of youth, age and change.
The hero of Joey Goebel's brand-new novel, "Commonwealth," is in a state of fascinating flux. Blue Gene Mapother rejects his past as a polo shirt-wearing prepster, in favor of monster trucks and a mullet. This makes him the black sheep of his wealthy family. That is, until he joins his brother's congressional campaign and woos small-town, blue-collar voters with common-man charm.
All is well until Blue Gene falls for the lead singer of the rock band Uncle Sam's Finger, who points out that Gene's elite family is using him and the rest of the town. Enlightened, angry, and elaborately tattooed, Blue Gene breaks from his family and uses his inheritance to serve the poor, throwing a monkey wrench into his brother's election.
Tristan Egolf's 1998 novel, "Lord of the Barnyard," is also about a small-town iconoclast. The hero is described as the freak on a tractor, the corncrib fascist. He takes over his mother's poultry farm with such prodigious skill that he runs afoul of adult authority before the age of 12. And his reckless spirit becomes the subject of myth when he organizes his fellow sanitation workers in a garbage strike just to spite the town for misunderstanding him.
Egolf writes like a bottle-rocket in the night, sparks fly. The story zigzags from a barroom brawl to a riot in town hall. It's done with manic hilarity and not a lick of dialogue.
The natural precursor to these antic fictions of individuality is "Vineland," Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel about Prairie Wheeler. Prairie's dad is an aging hippie, and her mom vanished during the radical 1960s after selling out her friends to a federal prosecutor. Prairie's quest to track down her mother introduces her to rock 'n' roll, feminist martial arts, and underground filmmaking.
"Vineland" is chock-a-block with hijinks. In what other serious book can you experience a ninja singing the song, "Just a Floozy with an Uzi?" But it also contains Pynchon's most ambivalent and realistic character. Prairie knows she's not like her doper dad, but fears being her turncoat mom. The only smart thing she can do is strike out on her own.
Independence, however, is never easy. The characters in these three books fly free of convention and so does the wild language. I can't think of a better time to enjoy some good, old-fashioned American rebellion than the Fourth of July.
SIEGEL: Will Layman is a writer, teacher and musician in the Washington, DC area. His Fourth of July recommendations are Joey Goebel's "Commonwealth," Tristan Egolf's "Lord of the Barnyard," and "Vineland" by Thomas Pynchon. You can find more suggestions from our series Three Books at npr.org.

The threatened self: general practitioners' self-perception in relation to prescribing medicine
Insufficient understanding of the variation in GP's medicine prescribing behaviour and ineffective interventions call for an investigation of the GPs' own perspective. This article describes the GP's self-perception as it emerged in 20 semi-structured interviews that explored the GP's perspective on their own prescribing. Data collection and analysis was largely inspired by grounded theory. The GPs described a constantly active process in which they prescribed, experienced an emotional reaction to their prescribing, evaluated themselves, redefined themselves for the better or worse, defined the new prescribing situation, prescribed and so forth. The GPs felt disappointed with themselves when their prescribing conflicted with their human or scientific ideals, and when they did not live up to their image of themselves, as GPs and as persons. They experienced discomfort when they were exposed to pressure as well as when they gave in to it. These negative emotions demanded a redefinition of the GPs' selves. The GPs applied both preventive and coping strategies to protect themselves from redefining themselves negatively. They strived to live up to their ideals, lowered their ideals, convinced themselves of the appropriateness of their prescribing and sought inspiration and self-development. This study demonstrates that self-perception is fundamental to how GPs prescribe medicines. Future interventions in quality development that aim to improve GPs' prescribing practices should therefore include considerations of the GPs' self-perception and facilitate autonomous self-development.

|[Lucene-hadoop Wiki] Update of "HowToRelease" by NigelDaley
|Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:13:01 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Lucene-hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by NigelDaley: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-hadoop/HowToRelease The comment on the change is: added option 64-bit build instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Build the release & run unit tests. Note that releases are normally built on 32-bit Linux, so that they include the native code for that platform. Also, folks who build releases should install eclipse, so that the eclipse plugin can be included in releases, pre-compiled. {{{ ant -Dversion=X.Y.Z -Dcompile.native=true -Dcompile.c++=true -Declipse.home=/usr/lib/eclipse clean package-libhdfs tar test test-libhdfs + }}} + '''Note:''' If a 64-bit Linux platform is available as well, then both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries may be built. Instead of the above, perform the following: {{{ + export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/32bit/jdk + ant -Dversion=X.Y.Z -Dcompile.native=true -Dcompile.c++=true -Declipse.home=/usr/lib/eclipse clean package-libhdfs tar test test-libhdfs + export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/64bit/jdk + ant -Dcompile.native compile-core-native tar }}} 1. Check that release file looks ok - e.g. install it and run examples from tutorial. 1. Generate the MD5 checksum of the release file. {{{

I have a great suspicion that for example Euler today would spend much more of his time on writing software because he spent so much of his time e.g., in efforts of calculating tables of moon positions. And I believe that Gauß as well would spend much more time sitting in front of the screen.
In this short note we give incremental algorithms for the following lattice problems: finding a basis of a lattice, computing the successive minima, and determining the orthogonal decomposition. We prove an upper bound for the number of update steps for every insertion order. For the determination of the orthogonal decomposition we efficiently implement an… (More)

Is it better to have a stock rom or custom rom? ( apparently custom roms can disable perf locks) 3.When rooted, why are some icons renamed? why are there some new "apps" or icons added (like 4g dev tool, or dev something, etc.)

Melbourne: There is a high probability of rain or thunderstorm interrupting the cricket World Cup quarter-final between India and Bangladesh at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, says the weather office.
Despite a sunny morning, there was a high or 70 percent chance of showers in the afternoon, according to the Australian government's Bureau of Meteorology.
Apart from the showers, the weatherman has also forecast "the chance of thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening."

The overhead conditions could be a significant factor in this game as the weather forecast suggests.
As India look to hold on to their winning momentum and register their seventh win on the trot in the tournament, Bangladesh would aim to upset the defending champions just like they did way back in the group stages of 2007.
Melbourne has been rainy and grey for a couple of days. On Wednesday, the city had a mostly clear sky with light winds blowing.
But as the weather forecast suggests, Thursday will be a disturbing day for the players as rain and thunderstorm might force them to go on and off the field a couple of times.

About the Creator
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
My grandparents provided me with a rich history and a wealth of talent which have trickled down to my generation in spurts. I am inspired by the role that they played in the history of music in the Dominican Republic, their native place of birth. This book is me giving back to them by gathering their short stories for my generation and many generations to come to enjoy and hopefully also be inspired by them. My other books are coffee table books of photography depicting nature and architecture in the Caribbean through my eyes.

What are the rules for AVX/YMM registers under the Windows 64-bit ABI?
I dont think there is any change around ABI. As XMM registers are lower 128-bit part of YMM registers. In the end they are same registers, however extended to 256bits. So, in case of function calls the lower parts will be used to pass floating point arguements.
The story of the week is back to a wait of about a year from the introduction of YMM register machines until a SP for Windows 7 and server will support them.
Except that it is more than just calling conventions, the ABI also covers exception handling, and it also includes rules for prolog/epilog of functions which needs to followed for it to work properly. That is what I am particularly concerned about.
The bottom half of the YMM registers follow the x64 ABI rules for XMM registers. The top half is considered volatile.

You dream it, and you do it. That is what I feel after I Jailbroke my iPhone 6. Apple has set some limitations in iPhones & iPads, but the Jailbreak community is doing wonderful tasks.
Regularly, I receive awesome tweaks in my mailbox. These tweaks are functional as well as beautiful; this means they are equally serious about user experience while iPhone & iPad users using a tweak on their devices.
Recently, I was brooding over a thingummy – whether I could get to know the indication on media volume I have set. As expected, I couldn't find a way out in the stock apps given by Apple iPhone. But I stumbled upon a tweak: SpeakerStatusBar.
SpeakerStatusBar Cydia tweak developed by Chikuwa, can show you whether media volume is on or off.
Once you download and install this Jailbreak tweak, you can see an icon in the Status Bar showing two states: one shows that media volume is on; you can listen to something when you play audio or video. Another state is that media volume is off or mute, and you won't be able to hear anything.
This tweak doesn't work in the case of Bluetooth volume or of ringer volume. However, it shows information on media volume that you can hear while media is being played. So before you play any media, you get to know if the volume is ready for media playback. If the media volume is too high, this tweak won't work. Maybe, the developer would like to work on this in future.
The tweak will be shown in Settings screen, from where you can toggle ON and OFF; moreover, you can also change the location from right align to left align. Just toggle Align Left ON and Respring the iPhone.
Download this tweak free from Cydia's BigBoss repository right now. SpeakerStatusBar is compatible with iOS 7 and later.
Price: Free | Repo: BigBoss

Jaguar uses aluminum to great advantage in the 2012 XJ. Mechanically it's not quite as advanced as some of its competition, but its relatively light, stiff body keeps curb weight down, which does dramatic things for acceleration and handling.
The XJ's aluminum body is glued and riveted together in pieces, the way airplanes are made. In all, an XJ weighs about 4,300 pounds, while other competitors can weigh hundreds of pounds more. But the body isn't the only place where aluminum makes itself known--it's also a big part of the XJ's drivetrain.
The XJ's aluminum-alloy engines are all derived from a single 5.0-liter V-8 configuration, one shared with the XF sedan and XK coupe. The standard version offered in the XJ and XJL sedan puts out 385 horsepower, and it's teamed to a six-speed automatic. With supercharging, the same engine makes either 470 hp or 510 hp, depending on the buyer's wallet size. We've been amazed how American this engine can sound: its vintage V-8 noises aren't at all quiet or syrupy-smooth, and the classic eight-cylinder rumble injects a note of seriousness into any stoplight challenge. The 385-hp drivetrain can toss off 0-60 mph runs in 5.4 seconds; the supercharged 470-hp engine is capable of a 4.9-second run; the Supersport, Jaguar says, will hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The XJ is limited to a top speed of 155 mph unless you specify one of the new Speed or Sport and Speed packs, which lift the electronic limiter to 174 mph.
In most every way, the 2012 XJ is a brisk, engaging performer, and its relative lack of electronic add-ons keeps ride and handling more pure than in some of the perpetually-adjustable competition. The XJ goes about its work more directly, with an independent suspension with coils up front and links in back, electronically adjustable air springs in back, and an electronically controlled rear differential on supercharged cars. "JaguarDrive Control," activated by a console-mounted switch, lets owners choose Normal, Dynamic and Winter settings for the throttle, steering, transmission and ride quality.
The XJ may have a narrower range of user-selectable performance modes than German or Japanese luxury sedans, but we think it's better for it. Its reflexes are more pure, more predictable, and the overall driving feel is more unified. The driving modes are related more closely than, say, the settings programmed into Audi's chuck-it-now Drive Select system.
Big ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock, brake drying and good pedal feel match the XJ's crisp new feel. And Z-rated tires on 19- or 20-inch wheels stick admirably--though you'll certainly notice the long, storied reputation of Jaguar ride has also been ditched for a taut, athletic feel. The air mattress is gone; long live the Tempur-Pedic precision.

At the wedding reception, Cat learns about a research grant that Evan received to study the mutant DNA cells found at local crime scenes. When she tells Vincent about Evan's theory of how the cells are changing to become more animal-like and less human, she encounters an unexpected detour that could change the course of their relationship.

|Light Ebaa! Toward Diversified Power in Ghana
|Agyapong, Priscilla
|Ramana, M.V.
|Woodrow Wilson School
|Class Year:
|Reliable electricity remains a significant challenge to economic development in Ghana. While the country has one of the highest electrification rates in Africa, electricity shortfalls and load shedding have been recurrent features of the power sector since the late 1980s. The approach has typically been generation capacity scale ups from thermal and hydroelectric sources, but this has created dependence and vulnerability to drought and fossil fuel supply. This thesis studies Ghana's electricity sector and explores alternative technical and institutional solutions for diversified and reliable electricity. Technical options of grid-connected solar and nuclear energy are reviewed for feasibility on account of their precedence in Ghana. Empirical evidence is based on a Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) analysis of power generation in Ghana. Results of this research reveal that given global declines in solar technology capital costs, expensive/unreliable natural gas supply, and exhausted water sources for large hydroelectric dams, solar energy is an economically viable option for Ghana. The nuclear option is discussed in the context of Ghana's long-held interest in nuclear technology. While political instability and wavering government commitment have impeded nuclear program efforts in the past, growing bipartisan support and political stability indicate a renewed interest in nuclear energy. However, LCOE analysis of nuclear generation confirms its prohibitive costs, which are exacerbated by an institutional preference for large reactors. A description of the country's electricity sector reforms and new institutional reconfigurations involving the private sector are presented here as the determinants of Ghana's path toward a more robust energy market conducive to private capital investment. Successful deployment of solar and nuclear power hinges on structural changes to tariff policy, improved regulatory capacity, and sector marketization. To this regard new policy initiatives like the Millennium Challenge Corporation's Ghana Power Compact, if well executed, stand to benefit the state of power supply—and more critically, alternative energy generation. Data for the quantitative part of the study was gathered from the International Energy Agency, the World Bank, Volta River Company, Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCO), Ghana Energy Commission, and the International Renewable Energy Agency. The qualitative dimension is based on twenty interviews conducted with public and private stakeholders in Accra between June and August 2014. These personal insights have shaped discussions of the quantitative results of this thesis and provided a framework for understanding Ghana's power policy environment and its implications for solar and nuclear energy.

Million Dollar Money Drop
August 10, 2011 by staff
Million Dollar Money Drop, How to keep S $ 25,000 cash in hand? How does it feel to feel the weight of money as the fingers grasp the thick wad of cash? "It's very empowering." But then you know that is not yours and the feeling of power is gone, "said lawyer born in the UK turned-actor George Young with a smile.
Youth had the opportunity to handle packets of S $ 25,000 in real money when he was host of the upcoming Channel 5 game show "Million Dollar Money Drop", where pairs of contestants are given S and 1 million in upfront cash.
Its aim is not to lose money as they go in responding eight multiple-choice questions. Response options for each question are represented by a trap door. Contestants put their money into the trap doors in any proportion they like, but the money trap doors that represent the wrong answers will be lost.
This continues until the last question where contestants must choose one of two answers and put all your money in that election.
Arrive to take home all the money that remains after the last question, that is, the profits can vary from S $ 1 million, if you put all the right questions, to zero if a fumble on the final question.
Security is tight – money is transported to the study of an escort convoy of seven vehicles and guarded by no less than twenty security guards throughout the recording of each episode.
Young was not even allowed to touch the real money packages to the contestants play, but still did what he could feel the cash every time you need a bit of "tidying up" on set.
"I've never been so close to a million dollars in my life. When we ever?"
"In cash, S $ 25,000 packages each, 40 of them."
"When was never so close to [this much] money?"
"Never. Unless you worked in a bank vault, never ever seen that amount of cash," Young said with a hint of excitement in his voice. "
Getting all sentimental gentle with the money can be fun, but 31 years old, said to be the range of human behaviors exhibited by pairs of contestants that really attracts the series.
"We've seen couples in a relationship of struggle, to see the best of friends, how they react to each other, who is blaming who, who is taking the lead, it's all psychology."
"When you stick two people in front of a million dollars in real cash, this wild and crazy people can become very serious or serious people can turn only."
"There can be a dominant person and a person who is more introverted, and then changing. Calm. Knowing what to do, they become suddenly in control," said Young.
"You never know what to do until you see that kind of money and that's what I like about the series."
"I love to be a competitor, just to get to play with that money, knowing it's yours from the beginning, knowing" If I understand correctly, this is home, '"said Young.
"Even if you went home with a single package, S $ 25000, which is a lot of money!"
"Million Dollar Money Drop" premieres after the National Day Parade on August 9 on Channel 5. Subsequent episodes will air every Wednesday August 17 at 8pm on the same channel.

"Having my life saved by paramedics sufferinf from a heart attack"
About: North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust Bolton BL1 5DD
Posted by c jeffs9 (as ),
One Sunday in May 2011, I suffered a heart attack. My neighbour dialed 999, and a single paramedic arrived in no time at all to look at me and get me ready to be taken away in an ambulance. It arrived very quickly and two more paramedics put me in the ambulance and started work on me. Within no time at all they told me I was having a heart attack, and told me they were taking me to Wythenshaw Hospital from my home. I thought it was quite a distance but we were there in no time at all.
From leaving home I was treated with the utmost care and compassion, the paramedics were all fantastic taking care to inform me of exactly what they were doing and why. They delivered me into the care of the staff at the hospital and wished me good luck before they left. Getting me to hospital so quickly decreased the amount of damage that occured to my heart, which helps with my recovery.
I did not get a chance to thank the paramedics for what they did for me giving me a second chance at life.They all deserve a medal for what they do, it could not have been done any better i wish i new there names so i could thank them in person.
