It won't cost anything and could bring a lot of "warriors" to rural Yolo County if supervisors sign off on the event.
A proposed outdoor festival license is being sought by Red Frog Events to hold a "Warrior Dash" running race on Yolo Land and Cattle Company. The race is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 6.
Yolo supervisors are expected to approve the request during their Tuesday meeting.
The 3.43 mile course in Esparto will include a variety of obstacles and involve as many as 500 participants taking off in "waves" between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Warrior dashes are held throughout the United States each year and is considered one of the largest obstacle races in the world. Obstacles can include mud, trenches, wall, mounds, climbing walls and various types of "crossings" including using ropes and cargo nets.
The Red Frog group has submitted all the requisite requests and insurance guarantees, and Yolo Land and Cattle owners will have a booth onsite selling their grass-fed Angus.
The event itself is expected to be finished by 6 p.m. that day.

This is an official message from Prophet T.B. Joshua from his Facebook Page, 'TB Joshua Ministries':
"The co-ordinators arranging groups to visit The SCOAN in each country of the world, don't forget your promise when you were called to be co-ordinators.
"Your promise, if I may remind you, was to give rest to the sick, distressed and unsaved. This is the only we can commit more faith and love to the society of which we are a part. God's goodness will continue towards us if we respond by obeying Him, by giving rest to others and by helping our neighbours.
"In Matthew 25:45, Jesus said, "Whatsoever you do or fail to do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto Me." In other words, Jesus was saying here, "I have no farm where I expect you to work for me or an office where I expect you to help me in checking files. My farm and office are your fellow brothers. Whatever help you render to the least of them, whatever problem you help someone else to solve, that you render unto Me."
"I have received many emails and newspaper reports on the internet complaining of registration fees of $100. What then makes us an evangelist? When people go to concerts, they also register with $100. If we are evangelists, co-ordinating for God's sake, all our concerns, aspirations and heart desires must be subjected to the Gospel through works of charity by helping the sick, distressed and unsaved instead of collecting registration fees of $100 from them before giving succour, I mean, attending to them. This cannot be justified; it amounts to taking a portion of their situation. If we are focused on making money only, a large slice of life will pass us by. We should spend less on ourselves and more on others.
"Those who have already paid $100 for the registration should be refunded, for God's sake. I am impressed by the prompt action of the co-ordinators in Tanzania and Zimbabwe who have been refunding the $100 paid by each person as a registration fee. I believe all others will act likewise.
"He who honours a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward.
"Season's Greetings."

Japanese Import
A few weeks ago I wrote about what I saw as a quiet revolution in monetary policy. Unlike a lot of commentators, I always saw programs such as quantitative easing as natural extensions (or perhaps more accurately, aggressive versions) of well-established doctrine.
Now central banks may be ready to really try something new. And first up seems to be the Bank of Japan. Reports yesterday indicated that the Bank of Japan and the government would announce a formal 2% inflation target at its Jan. 22 meeting. The world, including the Fed, will be watching....642 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

The "modern noir masterpiece" is now back in print!
Hot and scrappy Sherri Parlay gives up her life of depravity, and with best intentions, finds a respectable job as a dry cleaner in hopes for a decent future. But nature and nurture plot against her when she meets the beautiful, tortured, and rich young Payne, who tempts her with the love and life she never thought possible. Even Brenda, Payne's domineering mother, can't keep the lovers apart when Sherri's animal passions take control.
Unfortunately, Payne is not only a different kind of man from those in Sherri's past, he's worse than any on her list of sordid affairs. Twisted psychology and a pure heart lead her into the dark realm of disillusionment and crime, where she reaches into her deepest reserves for the strength to survive.
This contemporary noir novel is reminiscent of James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice, with a heavy dose of sexual realism that Cain might have enjoyed if his times would have allowed.

Marlins join in on ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
MIAMI -- Getting doused with a bucket of ice water is a chilly experience the Marlins certainly feel is worth taking. The past few days, players and members of the organization have joined the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Before batting practice on Tuesday, team president David Samson and president of baseball operations Michael Hill each dumped buckets of ice water over their heads, doing their part to raise awareness to help strike out the disease.
"Trying to find a cure for ALS, it's a very difficult disease," Samson said. "I heard about the challenge just [Monday]."
Samson was made aware by Marty Sewell, the team's manager of baseball information.
"Of course we were going to do it," Samson said of the initiative that is sweeping the country.
Marlins director of communications Matt Roebuck raised the profile of the cause by coming up with the idea for an auction where fans can bid for the right to dump a bucket of ice water on the team's star player.
"Someone will bid for the right to dump on Giancarlo Stanton," Samson said.
Details of the auction are on Marlins.com/icebucket, with the bidding beginning at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday and ending at 3 p.m. Friday.
Manager Mike Redmond has agreed to take the challenge, as have Casey McGehee, Garrett Jones and Christian Yelich.
General manager Dan Jennings also will take part.
"People are doing it all over the country," Samson said. "People are raising money. Hopefully a cure will come."

Greetings from Chief Justice Gants
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Massachusetts Juror Service Website. The right to a trial by jury is one of the cornerstones of our participatory democracy. The Pilgrims brought the concept of the jury trial with them to Plymouth in 1620. Just over 350 years later, Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to adopt the One Day/One Trial system across the Commonwealth. Today, a summons to jury duty continues to empower our citizens with both a privilege and a responsibility. Jurors play an essential role in ensuring a fair and impartial system of justice for all the people of the Commonwealth, and we thank you for your service.

Ernest Harden Jr. Stars in BEETHOVEN AND THE MISFORTUNE COOKIES at Whitefire Theater Tonight
Whitefire Theater in association with CRC Entertainment, presents the reflective real-life drama Beethoven and the Misfortune Cookies tonight, February 9th at 8pm, at the Whitefire Theater located at 13500 Ventura Blvd. Sherman Oaks, Calif.
A play written in two acts, starring Ernest Harden Jr (J. Edgar, White Men Can't Jump) and directed by TJ Castronovo and Written by Joni Ravenna, this production examines the true story of Kabin Thomas, a University of Arkansas music professor fired for using profanity in the classroom.
Thomas story brings attention to "controversial" teachers who present their classes in formats different than uninspired lectures and standardized tests.
Single-handedly teaching one of the largest UA classes, Thomas was responsible for more than 900 students in the spring of 2006. Was Thomas misguided in his efforts to reach the hearts of such a large group of students? Should popular teachers be penalized for using alternative means to stimulate their students' intellects? What is too provocative for these adults, and who should decide?
Tickets $20. RSVP to CRC Entertainment at 818-487-0700.
The Whitefire was founded in 1982 with a dedication to bringing quality theatre to Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. The Whitefire is located on Ventura Boulevard's Restaurant Row in Sherman Oaks. Several film and video projects also use the space, including Buena Vista Television, MTV Casting, VH1 Productions, Shana Landsburg Casting, NY Film Academy, Cartoon Network & Marvin Worth Productions. The Theatre is a member of the VAlley Theatre League.

You can select the workout type you are going to practice (basic, HIIT) or customize your own workout setting the distance, time, duration or calories goal. When you are done, you can add more detailed info to the workout: surface type, weather, temperature, how you felt and heart rate (requires a compatible Heart Rate Monitor device) and even hydration.
Sessions are stored in your history. You can check them any time and share through your social media to challenge your friends beat your records.
One of the most interesting features of Runtastic is the "Story Running" which are preset podcast you can listen to while running to get extra motivation. From settings you can enable/disable a bunch of additional options: voice feedback, powersong, heart rate zones... Most of them are only available in the Pro version of Runtastic.
Runtastic features an intuitive and user-friendly interface. It runs smoothly and it's pretty kind with your battery despite of the amount of built-in sensors it turns on during the session.
Only one catch worth to mention: You can share records through your social media but I'm missing a global leaderboard to compete against player from all around the world.
Regardless, Runtastic is one of the most intuitive and accurate workout tracker on the store.

It's bull season again. No, we're not talking about the election. We're talking about the running of the bulls. This year, you can do it with Groupon.
Wait…. Isn't the running of the bulls in Pamplona each summer? Well, yes, it's true that Spain is the only place anyone really associates with that weird sport. It's been happening there for four centuries. Machismo isn't a new concept. Neither is making money from it, which is where Phil Immordino comes in.
Immordino's the guy behind Running of the Bulls USA, which celebrates its fifth running Saturday in Cave Creek, a suburb of Phoenix. I checked out the madness last year and watched about 1,000 people play pinball with 2,000-pound horned mammals. I caught up with Immordino by phone this week to ask a simple question about his crazy event: Why?
"Simple answer: To make money," he said. "This is a unique event. I know there is a desire and a need there, so why not deliver it?"
I haven't been to Pamplona, but I've seen the same videos and pictures you have. It's the kind of thing that makes you ooh and aah while leaving you speechless and thinking, WTF? The American version is much more docile. If Pamplona is NC-17, Cave Creek is PG-13. Why's that? Well, these bulls are rodeo animals, not fighting beasts. They're (a little) more used to having people around, and their horns have been blunted. That cuts down on the gore. And the course has plenty of exits so people can get away if things get too crazy. Here in the states, sensibility and safety trump history and tradition.
That's not to say things don't get crazy. When the starting gun went off during various heats last year, runners by the dozen sprinted to the finish in triple-digit heat. If the bulls don't kill them, I thought, the heat just might. The bulls were more laissez-faire about it all and took their time getting up to speed. Most of the runners actually slowed down so the bulls could catch up — the point being to run with the bulls, after all. Once they hit full stride, though, the beasts caused a mild panic as some runners got a little closer to the action than they'd planned.
Immordino has never actually run with the bulls. Turns out he isn't terribly interested in participating in the event, only profiting from it.
"This ain't for me," he said. "I'm a golf addict. I don't need to ruin my swing."
Although the event in Pamplona has seen its share of death — 15 fatalities since 1910 — people are more likely to die of laughter at the event in Arizona. A few people go home with cuts and scrapes, but nothing serious.
Last year's run drew about 1,000 and about five times as many spectators. About as many are expected this year, and the early birds scored half-price entry with Groupon. The action will be more fast-paced this year, with seven heats running at the rate of one per hour. In between races, there will be bullfighting (American, Mexican and midget), along with food, drink and music. And the weather should be cooler — Siri says it'll be just 90 — even if the bulls aren't any nicer.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Picture Neel Kashkari striding to home plate late in the game, shouldering his bat and pointing confidently at the outfield lights.
California's Republican candidate for governor, who is taking on Jerry Brown in the Democrat's bid to win an unprecedented fourth term, must swing for the fences in Thursday night's first -- and probably only -- debate if he has any chance of closing the incumbent's big lead, state political experts say.
A new Field Poll finds Brown leads Kashkari by 16 points among likely voters. With less than nine weeks to go before Election Day, and less than five before voting by mail begins, Kashkari, 41, still suffers from low recognition: Four in 10 voters still have no opinion of him, while more than 90 percent have an opinion of Brown, 76, who has been part of California's political scene for five decades.
"Kashkari needs to make a lot of news and a lot of noise and hope for lots and lots of zingers and ... he really needs to pray for an error by Jerry Brown" -- something that will be repeated on the nightly news or in campaign ads, said Thad Kousser, a UC San Diego political-science professor.
"Anything other than a debacle for Jerry Brown is a victory for Jerry Brown," Kousser said.
Mark DiCamillo, the Field Poll's director, agreed that the debate will be "more about Brown's performance."
"Because Kashkari is not very well-known, most voters are making a yes/no vote on Brown, and he's pretty well-positioned for that," DiCamillo said.
Brown's approval rating is at 58 percent, according to the Field Poll, which surveyed 467 likely voters Aug. 14 through Aug. 28. That's just a point off Brown's record during his third term (set in April). The poll's overall margin of error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.
Kashkari, a 41-year-old asset manager from Laguna Beach and former U.S. Treasury Department official, had proposed 10 head-to-head events: one debate and one town hall in each of five regions of the state. That's a standard play for a challenger, especially one with a lot less money than the incumbent: Sharing a stage makes them look like equals -- and each meeting is another chance to goad the incumbent into a gaffe.
But Brown has agreed to give Kashkari just one bite at the apple.
"The most important thing is first to establish that you are gubernatorial material, which means you have to show some mastery of the issues," said Edmond Costantini, a UC Davis professor emeritus and political expert. "But how do you do that, how do you make a splash, except by saying something outrageous?"
Don't expect Kashkari to pull some new rabbit from the hat, Kousser said. Instead, he will probably will take more potshots at Brown's support of high-speed rail, which he calls Brown's "crazy train," while pressing his case that California is headed in the wrong direction with Brown at the wheel.
"He's been making this point at Rotary lunches and poorly attended events all across the state," Kousser said. "It's not that he's doing a bad job; it's that nobody's paying attention to the job he's doing. And this is his chance to speak directly to the state's voters."
Kashkari launched a new Web video Wednesday claiming Brown is in the California Teachers Association's pocket and puts the union's needs ahead of California students, perhaps presaging an avenue of attack in the debate.
Yet if Kashkari hopes to maintain viability for future elections -- perhaps 2018, when Brown would be term-limited out -- he might pull his punches, Kousser said. "If he's looking ahead and playing a long-term strategy, he doesn't need to be throwing grenades at a popular governor this year."
Even in California's closest races for governor in recent decades -- Pete Wilson over Dianne Feinstein in 1990, and George Deukmejian over Tom Bradley in 1982 -- the debates were largely unremarkable and didn't noticeably alter the contests' courses.
Brown had $22.4 million banked for the campaign as of June 30, and has raised at least $387,000 in large donations since then. Kashkari had about $198,000 banked at midyear, and has raised at least $692,000 in large donations since.
Kashkari has tried to make up for his low budget by finding creative, cost-free ways to get his name out: lots of talk-radio guest-host gigs, and a well-publicized week spent "undercover" as a homeless person looking for a job in Fresno.
The Field Poll found that Brown leads solidly among voter blocs -- by 32 points among those who identify themselves as ideologically middle-of-the-road; by 18 points among independent voters; and by 19 points among permanent vote-by-mail registrants. In no region does Brown have a more solid lead than in the Bay Area, where 77 percent of likely voters favor him compared with 14 percent who favor Kashkari.
Both campaigns see silver linings in the poll.
"Even though every voter knows Jerry Brown, only half want to re-elect him -- that's not a strong position for an incumbent" in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 15 percentage points, said Kashkari spokeswoman Mary-Sarah Kinner.
But Dan Newman, Brown's campaign spokesman, said the numbers show "the governor said what he'd do and did what he said -- he stabilized the budget so we can create jobs and improve schools. That's what voters wanted -- and that's what he's done."
The Field Poll found that 16 percent of likely voters haven't yet decided whom they will vote for. They include Tyler Rodgers, 31, of San Jose. The independent voter said Wednesday he's looking for a charismatic, fiscally responsible candidate to stand out in the debate.
But many other poll participants don't expect the debate to turn the tide.
There's little Kashkari can do in such a deeply blue state, said William Hitt, a 71-year-old retired firefighter who lives in Antioch. Still, the Republican plans to vote for him and hopes to see him force Brown to defend California's welfare spending.
"It's like going into a loaded dice game," Hitt said of Kashkari's chances of winning the debate. "California has gone so far left it may never return."
Democrat Bbora Park Nguyen, 33, a San Jose resident who works for a nonprofit, supports Brown and expects him to win the debate by focusing on his "get things done" record. Kashkari is too young and inexperienced to run so complex a state, she said.
"I remember the Schwarzenegger years when we weren't able to get the Legislature to do anything," she said. "Brown has taken a strong leadership role. It's very refreshing to see someone in office who is able to make things happen without angering one side or the other."

That is more or less what I was beginning to think. I could take a drug for a time initially but it would be impractical over the longer term. We really need to get an "Ordaining..." thread going here somewhere (mods?). It seems the odds of ending up at the gates of WPN are pretty high. Given that visa problems seem to be only intensifying lately, there will probably have to be trips into either Burma, if I am in the North, or VIetnam/Cambodia, if I am in the East, at least briefly, every three months. I have gotten used to just watching mosquitoes feed on me here, how do monks deal with them there? Blowing, hand waving? Run? Just curious. I am getting a lot better at being able to simply accept being very ill if and when these conditions arise, and of course, they will.Dhammanando wrote:Hi Nathan,
It's not difficult to avoid it and merely requires that one stay away from malarial regions (i.e. most of the Cambodian border districts and certain of the less inhabited Burmese and Laotian border districts). This is what I did for the first 13 years, but then a couple of years ago I went to spend the rains retreat on a private island that was close enough to Cambodia to be visited by malarial mosquitoes from there. It hits you very hard when you get it for the first time, but if properly treated subsequent occurrences will get milder and milder and less and less frequent.
Best wishes,

May 12, 2009 - Knight Commission Urges College Leaders to Consider Bold, Innovative Solutions to Address Fiscal Health of College Sports
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The financial crisis in college sports isn't attributable only to the ongoing recession, but also to declining athletics revenues unable to keep up with a runaway train of spending. That's what members of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics heard today from scholars and experts on higher education and intercollegiate sports.
"The recession is accelerating the need to make hard choices about college athletics, but the fundamental problems will not abate when the economy improves," said R. Gerald Turner, co-chairman of the Knight Commission and president of Southern Methodist University. "The struggling economy presents a prime climate for all stakeholders in college sports to take action. Through innovative solutions, we can take measures to reign in ever-increasing athletics spending and preserve all that is good about college sports."
The Commission's meeting in Washington, D.C. was its second public discussion in a year-long examination of the economics of big-time college sports. The Commission's goals include investigating the trend of increased spending on athletics as university budgets shrink, as well as proposing solutions to what seems like an unsustainable economic model.
As part of its efforts, the Commission is conducting a survey of presidents at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions, once known as Division I-A football programs. The survey is gathering the presidents' opinions on athletics finances at their schools and for the FBS as a whole.
Knight Commission co-chairman William E. (Brit) Kirwan, Chancellor of the University System of Maryland, noted the strong response from presidents at FBS institutions, adding, "The survey findings will be very useful in developing bold policy changes for higher education leadership to consider." The Commission plans to release the presidential survey results in early September.
Kirwan noted a wealth of recent data developed by the NCAA confirming that athletics expenses are growing at two to three times the rate of total spending for universities.
"We need to do more to make NCAA data clear and transparent to university trustees, alumni and the general public, so they can have a better understanding of the fundamental problems," Kirwan said. "Better data and more transparency helps us debunk the myths that have led to excessive spending on coaches salaries and other areas of intercollegiate athletics."
Only six FBS athletics departments had positive net revenues for each of the past five years, according to the NCAA. The NCAA study also debunked the myth that high coaches salaries are connected to increased winning percentages.
Andy Geiger, former athletics director at The Ohio State University, Stanford University and University of Maryland, emphasized that 50 percent of athletics spending is for coaches, staff, and scholarships, which are all areas for potential cost-saving measures as the Commission looks at spending solutions. He said that significant change is unlikely until administrators have the will to address those expenditures.
The Commission also heard testimony from University of Arizona professor and researcher John Cheslock on participation trends in Division I varsity sports. Cheslock pointed out that while male participation has declined in programs that compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision, male participation has remained relatively flat in all other Division I programs. Penn State Athletics Director Tim Curley said that supporting broad-based programming is becoming increasingly difficult for Division I programs as competitors put more resources into fewer programs.
John Colombo, University of Illinois tax law professor, presented a paper that explained how it would be difficult to remove tax-exempt status from "big-time college" football and basketball programs. Colombo argued, however, that Congressional action would be justified in attaching special limitations on athletics programs, such as restricting expenditures and/or mandating disclosures so that programs could continue to receive "tax-favored status."
Knight Commission co-chairman Kirwan said, "While we generally don't believe that Congressional action is necessary to regulate intercollegiate athletics, we are not ready to dismiss any proposals that could provide effective means to address our challenging financial problems."
The Commission will meet again in Miami, Fla., on Oct. 26 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its founding and to continue its examination of financial issues and potential solutions.

This morning, some 400 young children made their way back to their familiar classrooms and back to a (semi) normal routine. But the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut did not return to the same elementary school that Adam Lanza turned into a place of tragedy and sadness. No. Instead, the 400 students who we've all hailed as brave, courageous kids are making their home in a new school, one town over, in Monroe, CT at the old Chalk Hill school.
Before the morning bell rang, dozens of volunteers have worked relentlessly, turning the once-was Chalk Hill school into the new, safe Sandy Hook Elementary School. Volunteers raised bathroom floors for kindergarteners to be able to reach the toilets and the sink the bathrooms, as well as replicating the placement of bookshelves and cubbys for students to feel at home. They've also carried over students backpacks and other belongings that they left behind the morning of the devastating shooting. But that wasn't all the volunteers made sure the students had on their first day back to school.
In addition to painting the walls and hanging the same signs and artwork to match the students old classrooms, as well as transferring tables, chairs and desks from Sandy Hook to Chalk Hill, students were given gift boxes with toys inside.
Safety precautions for the children, their teachers and their families have been taken to ensure that as much normalcy as possible can be given. Law enforcement has even dubbed the new school, "the safest school in America" and rightly so, for these children deserve nothing but the best as they make their return to school. The school district has also encouraged parents that would like to stay close with their children to stay and visit in the classrooms or auditorum as long as they'd like. Parents are even encouraged to ride the bus with their children, to help them feel safe and secure returning to familiar routines.
Parents had IDs checked and incoming students and families were greeted by a fleet of police. Officers guarded the entrances and exits of the building.
Though the community is still reeling from the tragedy, Newtown Superintendent Janet Robinson said that they will be doing a normal day of classes, keeping the children and teachers on a regular schedule.
After a whirlwind of tragedy and horror that shocked the nation, a little normalcy is all we can hope for for the brave Sandy Hook students.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Great white sharks off the coast of California are set to enjoy greater protection, as state officials consider whether to add the predator to California's list of endangered species.
The California Fish and Game Commission unanimously voted last month to advance the candidacy of the shark for inclusion on the state endangered species lies. That means during a one-year study review the shark will receive the same protections as if it were listed as endangered.
The commission was expected to publish its decision on Friday, a move that would prompt the protections to begin.
The immediate effect will be a ban on incidental takes by net fishermen. Researchers and gillnet fishermen will have to apply to the Department of Fish and Wildlife for permits to tag or accidentally capture a shark.

New For 2013
The SL is all-new for 2013. It's not nearly as beautiful as the original 300SL of six decades ago, but the new car is quicker and more refined than ever. Eight-cylinder engines that are more powerful and more efficient have put the twelve-cylinder models on notice. The SL600 is gone for good; the SL65 AMG is available in late 2012.
Its name suggests a sporty, lightweight car, but the SL is as much about pampering the driver as it is about pounding the road. Airscarf titillates the back of your neck with warm air for cold-weather, top-down cruising. Magic Sky Control allows the driver to adjust the transparency of the glass roof. The windshield washers meter out more water for cold, snowy conditions, and when the top is down, they only spray on the wipers' down stroke to keep passengers dry. Active Body Control—standard on all SLs—uses hydraulic cylinders to continually tweak the suspension and eliminate any trace of unwanted body motions. An aluminum body that cuts weight by about 250 pounds compared with the previous car suggests that Mercedes would like to recapture the SL's sports-car heritage, but its agility is compromised by variable-ratio steering that is unpredictable and imprecise. In a straight line, however, the SL is unquestionably competent, whether you choose the very fast SL550 or the effortless SL63 AMG with its 530-hp V-8. Both cars use a seven-speed automatic transmission, but the AMG model has a clutch in place of the usual torque converter to create the feel of a sportier launch. The optional AMG performance package raises the top speed to 186 mph, boosts power output to 557 hp, and adds a limited-slip differential.
ABS; front, side, and side curtain air bags; tire-pressure monitoring; drowsiness alert; and traction and stability control are standard. Options include active parking assist, active blind-spot monitoring, active lane-departure prevention, and adaptive cruise control with a collision-warning feature.

These ideas are all out of the box.
6 Incredible Ways To Wrap Your Gifts
From silk flowers as ornaments to feathers in a garland, these decorating ideas are creative, unexpected, and sure to wow.More
A wintry art piece can set the tone for a cozy holiday house such as this one in this Adirondacks house designed by Mimi McMakin of Kemble Interiors. For their first party, Mimi and Leigh McMakin painted the dining room in blackboard paint and asked friends to draw on the walls. They've since redecorated but couldn't part with this wintry pastel chalk piece by Kimberly Cutter and Naj Wikoff. The birch-bark animals are from the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, New York.
Instead of lining the banister of this Greenwich Village apartment with garlands of pinecones and berries, Robert Rufino used paper to decorate. "These paper wedding bells take it to another level," he says. They're light, airy, and joyous and completely uplifting in an almost childlike way. Green would have been too heavy, so I went with red and white." Rufino attached the bells to fishing line and kept adding to create a garland.

Collins expects Flores to bounce back
LOS ANGELES -- Once Mets manager Terry Collins received word that Wilmer Flores' right hand injury was nothing significant, there was little question as to who would start at shortstop Saturday night for the Mets.
"You've got to deal with things that come up," Collins said, referring to Flores' two errors in Friday night's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers. "If you have a bad night, you make an error that hurts your club, that's the way it goes. You've got to get back out there tomorrow. The greatest of the greats have done it."
Flores' errors were both rather egregious, with one resulting in him tripping and falling to the dirt and the other directly leading to a run. Together, they served to tarnish what has otherwise been an adequate transition to shortstop for the 23-year-old former third baseman.
The Mets have yet to decide whether Flores can play shortstop for them on an everyday basis in future seasons. But how he recovers from Friday's gaffes could help them make that decision.
"He'd better understand he's going to have another one," Collins said. "He's going to have another rough day one of these times, so he's got to get back out there and play."
Flores' injury, the result of a spiking at second base in the sixth inning Friday, had no significant lasting effects.

Amun and Kebi are both prominent members of the Egyptian coven. They are survivors of the coven that was destroyed by the Volturi when they warred against the Romanians and the Egyptians. Other than the Volturi's ancients and the Romanians, Kebi and Amun are two of the most ancient vampires in history.
In Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Amun is portrayed by Omar Metwally and Kebi by Andrea Gabriel. Amun is also portrayed by Noshir Dalal in the segment Sunrise.
Amun and Kebi were both ancient Egyptians. Amun was one of the first who established the Egyptian coven that warred against the Romanian coven. Kebi was an Egyptian slave chosen by Amun to make her his mate; he chose her because of her beauty and loyalty, which was subsequently magnified by her transformation. However, their relationship was never one of equals.
When the Volturi established the laws and conquered the Romanians, Amun knew that his coven would be their next target and quickly swayed to obey their new laws, and Kebi followed him without question. The rest of their coven was massacred after that.
With only Kebi and Amun left, they re-established what was left of the coven by trying to find talented members. Eventually, they came across Demetri, but he was taken in by the Volturi sometime later. Amun gave up hope of ever finding special talents -- until he came across Benjamin, a boy with more special power than anyone could have imagined. Kebi did not enjoy Benjamin's involvement because he was constantly receiving Amun's attention, but she kept her feelings to herself. Five years later, Tia joined their coven as Benjamin's mate. Although Amun wasn't fancy of the idea, he realized the benefits of having Tia in their coven; subsequently, Kebi became content that Benjamin's bond to Tia weakened his bond to Amun, so she could have him more to herself.
They seem to love each other, however their relationship is one more of master and slave, with Kebi barely having a voice and following Amun's commands without question.
Breaking DawnEdit
When the Cullens sought the Egyptians out for aid under the Volturi's threat, Amun is immediately resistant to the idea evenafter the proof was presented, but Benjamin's subtle threat of disbanding their coven forces him to stay, and Kebi stays with him. Amun refuses to touch Renesmee and keeps Kebi from doing so either. Kebi is seen to cling to Amun frequently, and they are noted to move in sync with one another, with Kebi being almost Amun's shadow. They mostly stay to themselves and rarely interact with the other witnesses. Alistair's departure causes Amun to irrationally accuse Carlisle of attempting to "steal" from him; only after some persuasion does he agree to stay, but keeps his distance even further. Kebi imitates this behavior.
During the confrontation, Amun gives his knowledge about Renesmee to Aro, then takes his leave with Kebi, leaving behind Benjamin and Tia. After the situation resolved peacefully, Benjamin and Tia run after them.
In the movie adaptation, Amun and Kebi remain with the Cullens throughout the entire confrontation, but depart immediately afterwards, leaving behind Benjamin and Tia during the celebration.

Discussion in 'Jack's Place' started by platypus, Feb 15, 2011.
besides "changes" by David Bowie.
I was thinking about that song by Thompson Twins but I think I'm wrong.
The Google says that phrase appears in a Sammy Hagar song, a Nat King Cole song and a Nick Hinton (?) song.
Yeah! I thought Thompson Twins, but then I knew it was one of those new-wavey gay bands I didn't get into anyway.
I can't remember the Thompson Twin song we did, maybe "Hold Me Now".
"Strange Fascination" is the name of the song I'm thinking of.
you see it's is a phrase that sits on the periphery of song lyric memory.... I started trying to write a song out of it but I always got the feeling that someone already wrote it.
That is strangely fascinating. I'm known for rearranged fashion.
That's supposed to be a clue. Strange Fashion.
I dunno, but now you have Carly Simon's "Anticipation" stuck in my head.
Now I've got FTFY stuck in my retinas.... what's it mean?
I'm singing the line strange fascination to myself, definitely male and female vocals in there.
"Strange feeling fascination- Looking, loving, love so strong. Strange feeling fascination- Looking, loving, moving on..."
Something like that anyways- that friggin song plays everday at work (grocery store). Luckily, late winter/early spring is a slow time of yr, so I haven't worked in a couple weeks, & thus, haven't had to listen to it in a while
I hate that song
Human League, "Fascination". You're welcome!

[color=blue:d4313f64e5]Castleton Pizza King[/color][/size]
Each summer we have a little get together to meet & greet the friends that we have made here on line over the years.
The date, time & location are listed above.
There are a couple rules that we have.
1. Everyone that reads this forum is invited.
2. If you have mentioned you will be there & can't make it, no biggie. If you show up out of the blue, then you will be a surprised guest & thats always fun.
3. I only listed a start time as a general rule of thumb. If you want to arrive a few minutes early & try to outlast Peck, Uncle Buck & myself, good luck.
If you want to arrive late & just stay for an ice cold Dr. Pepper, that's fine too.
We never have had a set "agenda" or anything like that. We usually start off talking Pacer basketball & that leads to general NBA & forum discussions.
The Pizza King serves a pretty good pizza as well as the usual selections you might find in a family dinner.
There is beer & wine available but you will need to be 21 to enjoy. The atmosphere & discussion is always "family friendly", so if you would like to bring along younger Pacer fans, that would be great too.
I like to make sure I get the word out early & offen because we have some friends that might be coming in from out of town & I want to make sure they have ample notice.
As you might recall. I will not have a set "guest" list but I will have a couple list that I will refer to from time to time.
The first is the I am really gonna try to make it list.
The second will be the I want to, but I won't know until the last minute list.

Los Angeles -- A report released Tuesday by CBRE Group found that Hong Kong and New York City rank number one and two as the world's most expensive prime retail markets.
According to the company's third quarter 2012 MarketView report, global retail prime rents remain high in key gateway markets due to strong flows of international tourists seeking luxury products. Hong Kong and New York City recorded significant rises in prime retail rents during the third quarter of 2012, while the next tier -- Tokyo, Sydney and London - held steady, according to the research.
U.S. gateway markets have benefited from strong tourism demand and have also recorded significant rises in prime rents. Gains were witnessed particularly in New York City, where rents on Fifth Avenue increased 17% quarter-over-quarter. International retailers are seeking flagship store space, where consumers and tourists spend liberally on luxury goods and services. As such, demand for scarce prime space remains high.

"We are continuing to see strong demand and price velocity on the very best retail corridors in gateway cities, particularly in Manhattan, where every brand must be located in order to legitimately claim a 'global' identity," said Anthony Buono, executive managing director, Americas Retail Services, CBRE. "Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, Times Square and to an increasing extent, Soho and Meatpacking districts, are destinations for global shoppers. However, core rents are reaching new heights and retailers are compelled to reach new heights to acquire space."
The global prime retail market proved resilient in third quarter 2012 with the CBRE Global Retail Rent Index increasing on a quarterly basis by 2.0% and by 7.3% year-over-year. Global retailer activity remains polarized with prime retail corridor space in the best markets experiencing the greatest retailer demand. International entertainment, restaurants and fast-fashion brands actively sought prime retail space as they pursue long-term expansion strategies, while still maintaining a cautious eye on global growth and softening retail indicators, found CBRE.

Hong Kong, which is firmly cemented at the top spot, has garnered increasing interest from fast-fashion retailers seeking expansion opportunities throughout its shopping malls.
"Hong Kong and other Asia Pacific markets have benefited from international retailers - particularly fast-fashion, cosmetics, jewelry watch, and mid-range fashion retailers -- aggressively seeking prime locations across the region," said Ray Torto, global chief economist, CBRE.

I'm using tIhe XY graph to plot a Pointcare representation of RR intervals (heart beat). I would like to use the mouse to draw a polygone surrounding the points of interest and get their indexes from the original array. Thank you to oriented me to some strategy!
Solved! Go to Solution.
OK your question might be "just a little bit vague" for the average forum member!
I realize that you have a time record of a EEG and are looking at Atrial depolarizations. Here is where you should provide some sample data sets and exactly what information you want to observe within that data set. The rest is simply proposing algorythims for you to implement (we are pretty good at that). Mind reading s a skill that most of us are poorly equiped for (but Ben seems to occasionally manage it)
OK, I wasn't clear enough but got your attention..Thanks. Let's say that I have a series of data {x1,x2...xi...xn} that represents the duration of time between two adjacent heart beats. The pointcare plot is the representation of the points [xi,x(i+1)] and that can be achieved to by the XYGraph function. Using this graphic, it is expected that adjacent intervals with almost similar values will form a cloud (circular, eliptic or with more complex shapes) centered around the average values of the xi. Now, unusual changes between adjacent xi values in the time series (lower or higher x(i+1)) will result in points outside of the primary cloud. This is an easy way to identify abrupt changes in a time series.
The step I'm blocked with is that, after I used the XY graph, I would like to use the mouse the visually draw the border of the primary cloud and extract the indexes of the point in or and points outside the border separately. Is that make more sens?
Again, I really appreciate your help for that.
This can be done, but unfortunately is not trivial. Since this is the second request I have seen in the last week for this type of functionality, I would encourage you to post the idea to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.
All graphs have a front, middle, and back image, which is set using a picture control data type. You can use this to draw your cursor using an unfilled rectangle. You can capture mouse events on the XY graph using the event structure, and update your enclosed rectangle (or ellipse, or whatever you would like to draw) when the mouse moves. You can extract the enclosed data points from your original data set when a mouse up event occurs or when the user clicks inside the rectangle after drawing it. You may also want to include ways to tweak the boundaries of the rectangle.
This is relatively straightforward if you have used the event structure before, but could be very confusing if not. Let us know if you need more information or help.
If you only really need to designate the "low" and "high" values on the X-axis and similar values on the Y-axis thus describing a rectangle that is aligned with the axes (no rotation), then using the graph cursors would be an easy way to do this. You can place two cursors on each axis and lock their vertical or horizontal axes and allow the user to drag them to the visual boundaries of the cloud. You can even select the cursor's appearance so that there are vertical/horizontal lines to help with the visualization. It is then easy to read the cursor positions programmatically to determine the rectangle's position (in the graph units).
You could something a little bit more complicated by using the graph cursors and not locking them at all, but allow the user to drag several of them around to describe a more complex shape enclosing the point cloud and then read the cursor positions to do some shape fitting.
Thanks for your inputs. The option of max and min on each axis may not work in my case since the boundary to determine can have complex shapes.
I put the post at the Labview Idea forume:
I don't think it will be easy for me to use the structure event right now....I'll try to work on it in the following days but any VI as an example for the use of mouse in XY graph will be greatly appreciated.
It seems harder to describe in words than to just post a simple example. Simply click on the graph to add cursors, drag around as desired and see the included points. I use a 1-bit bitmap to detect interior points, and the draw multiple points VI for the polygon image.
I sort the points so that the polygon is fully filled, so sometimes you will see it switch shape suddenly. Not a full-blown solution, but a good start.
This is really impressive and almost exactly what I was looking for ! The writing is somewhat upon my skills in labview so I may be completely wrong in my following observation. By using the pixel system (which is a cool strategy) we loose the direct connection to the initial array (time amplitude). Therefore, it didn't seem strait full to me to get the indexes of the points that are in and out the polygon in reference to the array feeding the XY graph.
Thanks for helping!
When I cooked up the pixel system yesterday I knew it should work, but I was still surprised to see that it actually did. I will see if I can add a little to the example for you, or you may be able to find some simple examples of conditional autoindexing on the forum.
Thanks, I got the indexes based on your info. This is really a great VI for people dealing with clusters. I really wish this function be added in the next update!
Thanks for your brain-time !

Spotty salmon action on the Smith
The DFG conducted their first pre-season crab quality testing on Monday, Oct. 22, testing crabs out of Eureka, Trinidad, Crescent City and Fort Bragg. According to DFG Senior Marine Biologist Pete Kalvass, who oversees the Invertebrate Management Project, the crabs were a little lighter than what they were hoping for. A typical year will find the meat content at around 20 percent, with the theory being that crabs will add one percent of meat a week and reach the 25 percent mark for the commercial opener of Dec. 1. According to Kalvass, crabs tested from Crescent City were at 15.5 percent, Trinidad was 16.5 percent, Eureka came in at 15.5 percent, and Fort Bragg tested at 18.4 percent.
"It's hard to say if there will be a delay in the commercial season, but the crabs will need to put on some weight in the next six weeks. The next round of tests will be Nov. 4, so we'll have a pretty good idea after that. Hopefully there's still a lot of crabs left over from last years record haul, which could play a part in the lower weight of the crabs as the competition for food could be greater," Kalvass said.
The Dungeness crab sport fishery will open statewide on Saturday, Nov. 3. The daily bag limit is 10 Dungeness crabs per person, except when fishing from a commercial passenger fishing vessel (or party boat) south of Mendocino County, in which case the limit is six. A legal-sized crab must be five and three-quarter inches measured by the shortest distance through the body from edge of shell to edge of shell directly in front of and excluding the points (lateral spines). Crabs taken from party boats must measure six inches minimum distance. For more information regarding recreational Dungeness crab fishing regulations and other crab species, please visit the DFG Marine Region website at www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/invertebrate/crabs.asp.
Weekend Weather
According to Reginald Kennedy of Eureka's National Weather Service, no substantial rainfall is predicted until next Tuesday. "Thursday and Friday look dry right now, with a slight chance of precipitation in the Smith Basin early Saturday. After that, we'll be in a dry pattern until Tuesday, when rain is once again in the forecast. We may see up to a half-inch by Wednesday evening and a slight rise in the rivers, but it's still pretty early to predict," Kennedy added.
Rockfish, Halibut seasons set to close
The recreational rockfish season for boat-based anglers as well as the Pacific Halibut season will come to a close on Wednesday, Oct. 31. According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the weekend weather might be decent enough to try for halibut and possibly running to the Cape for one last shot at rockfish. "Thursday and Friday's forecast looks really good, but the weekend looks like it's going to be a little bumpy with swells to seven feet on Saturday and up to eight on Sunday. Boaters should be advised that the bar crossing could be dangerous this weekend in conjunction with the high tides. You'll want to cross the bar within 45 minutes or so after high tide," Klassen added.
The Rivers:
River Closures
Other than the Smith, all North Coast rivers subjected to low flow fishing closures, including the Eel, Mad, Redwood Creek, and Van Duzen are closed. Sections of rivers that are open include the main stem Eel River from the paved junction of Fulmor Road to its mouth, the main stem Mad River from the Hammond Trail Railroad Trestle to its mouth. The low flow closure hotline for North Coast rivers is (707) 822-3164. NOTE: CA Fish and Game would like to remind anglers to check the CA DFG Sport Fishing Regulations booklet for the Eel River and other catch and release, barbless hook-only north coast streams and rivers. Also, in waters where the bag limit is zero for trout and salmon, the fish must be released unharmed and should not be removed from the water. For more information, visit www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations/FreshFish-Mar2012.
Eel River Estuary
The rain earlier in the week pushed a lot of the salmon that were holding in the estuary up river. With the river dropping and large tides coming this weekend, more should be coming in and staging for the next rain. Anglers trolling spinners and Kastmasters have been catching a few.
Smith River
According to Mike Coopman of Mike Coopman's Guide Service, the reports Wednesday from the Smith weren't great. "I'd say the average was about a fish per boat, or less. We weren't seeing a lot of fish rolling, so I don't think they were there in big numbers. The river was unsettled and on the rise all day, and that didn't help. From what I could tell, the fish that were down low early in the year shot up with last weeks rain and there aren't a lot of new ones behind them as of yet, but that could change tomorrow. This is the first big rise of the year, but it's still only predicted to get to nine feet, which isn't very big. We'll see how many fish are around once we get that first big flushing," Coopman added. Reminder: A North Coast Salmon Report Card is required to fish for salmon on the Smith River. The daily bag and possession limit is 1 Chinook salmon and no more than 5 wild Chinook salmon per year.
Lower Klamath
The Klamath was still on the rise as of Wednesday afternoon, but should remain in fishable shape reports Alan Borges of Alan's Guide Service. "I wouldn't be surprised if the rain didn't bring in a new shot of fresh fish. We were still catching a few fresh ones last weekend, as well as a few that had some color. The silvers are still trickling in as well as some fresh jacks. If we don't get a bunch more rain, the Klamath should continue to fish well," Borges added.
According to Steve Huber of Steve Huber's Guide Service, the little shot of rain on Monday put the fish on the move. "The overcast and rain cooled the water and that seemed to light a fire under the fish. Although the river rose slightly, we still need a real good rain. There's lots of older salmon on beds now, and in conjunction, we're seeing some bigger numbers of steelhead showing up. We're also seeing some silvers push in. The smolts have moved down, so fishing bait is a doable," Huber added.
The Chetco opens above rivermile 2.2 Saturday, Nov. 3. The daily bag limit is 2 salmon or steelhead daily and 20 seasonal.
Bill Divens of Salmon King Lodge, who wrapped up his season on the Rogue Saturday, reports a good numbers of silvers are still in the bay. About one out of three is a hatchery. The best bait this past week was straight anchovies," Divens added
