Typically at the top of the Dice Top Ten pay-boosting certifications is the PMP! Having a PMP® Certificate can bring a salary premium of (typically) $5-15 per hour. That's 10 to 30 thousand dollars a year! Are you leaving that money on the table? In some cases, you can't even apply for the job without a PMP® Certificate - a trend becoming more common in the Financial, Health, and other regulated industries. They need the assurance of expertise you bring with an internationally recognized Professional Certification. PLUS - Agile is here! When a background of Agile knowledge is combined with the PMP, who's going to get the job?
Our course is based on the current PMBOK® Guide version (v5) plus we will cover additional Agile concepts (that will be in version 6). This is an INTENSE 4 day session (yes, there will be homework). There are 10 knowledge areas and 5 process groups within which are defined 47 processes in the Project Framework, including various formulas, Earned Value Management, and forecasting. With the techniques we will teach you, by the end of the class you will draw the Framework and formulas from the knowlegde you have gained. The average preparation time for the exam is about 80 hours. Our course, providing about half, will lay the foundation upon which you can logically build an authoritative knowledgebase to pass the exam. You will learn, understand, and be able to apply:
* The Project Management Framework
* The five (5) Process Groups
Initiation - Planning - Execution - Monitor and Control – Close
* The ten (10) Knowledge Areas
4.0 Integration
5.0 Scope

The entrance of Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's race promises to turn what was an insiders' race into a real competition.
Decades have gone by since there has been a truly competitive race for one of the most powerful law enforcement positions in the state.
There couldn't be a better time. The department is besieged by scandal because of the failed leadership of outgoing Sheriff Lee Baca, who abruptly announced his resignation last week amid the indictment of 18 current and former sheriff's deputies in December following an FBI investigation of jail inmate abuse.
The accusations came after years of complaints from civil rights advocates, former inmates and others who painted a culture of violence within the department.
It will take a strong leader at the helm of the organization to clean up the ranks and help undo what years of bad leadership let fester.
With Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca out, there's chance for real reform.
McDonnell is a strong candidate with solid credentials who is a cop's cop, but it's too early to know what solutions he could offer up.
The former second in command at the Los Angeles Police Department, McDonnell knows the region well and has already garnered some heavyweight support from several leaders, including current Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster.
He's well-versed in the problems. He was on a commission that slammed Baca for a pattern of excessive force at the jails and ignoring warnings from advocates and watchdogs. The panel called for swift action.
But McDonnell offers something as important: an outside view. That perspective has been long absent in the insular department that let its deputies engage in questionable behavior without serious oversight or punishment. It will make for an interesting race.
The Los Angeles County sheriff is not only in charge of the nation's largest jail system, but has a high-profile seat where he or she can set the standard, bring innovation and lead the way in law enforcement nationally. Baca set a standard of disgrace.
It will be the next sheriff who will have to undo that.

tenantspin Community Film Showcase is a success!
10 September 2010
Tuesday evening saw filmmakers and members of the community coming together to watch a culmination of 12 months of hard work and collaboration between tenantspin and a variety of participants from across the city. The excellent turnout and atmopshere was a testament to the filmmakers, and to those who came to see a body of work that reflects a city changing at a pace that can often be hard to keep up with.\r\n \r\n
Some of the work reflected times gone by; Laura Yates and Jon Turton's digital story telling workshops gave older residents an opportunity to reflect on moments gone by in a poignant and personal manner. Whereas films like From Hongfield to Anfield by North Liverpool residents showed the feelings of uncertainty and change during a regeneration overhaul.\r\n \r\n
Filmmaking means different things to different people and working with a variety of men and women across Liverpool (and Helsinki) has shown me that it is always important to keep an open mind and as well as trying to teach, to try and learn from people's vastly differing experiences. Many of these experiences were shown in Tuesday's showcase, which varied from Digital Stories to comedy, and documentary.\r\n \r\n
As important as the process of making the films is, screening the work is equally as rewarding. The filmmakers and residents' experiences of filmmaking is as different as they are. Some have had work screened in the past, others had never touched a camera before. However I hope they all shared in feeling proud of their films and the hard work they have put in over the last 12 months. Community filmmaking gives the opportunity for opinions to be voiced and ideas to be shared. The people of this city will always have a voice and they should always be listened to.

Is it leather or something else?
November 8, 2012,
Is it top-grain leather? Bonded leather? Leather splits? Polyurethane?
At times, even the most seasoned leather veterans admit it's hard to tell the difference.
But while purists are horrified at the thought of using anything but top-grain leather, many others say the use of bonded leather or other non-top grain covers is a key part of their merchandising strategy.
Executives say top-grain is fine for middle and upper price points, but it's nearly impossible to hit the key promotional sofa price points of $799 to $999 without using a non-top-grain product on at least a portion of the item.
"Bonded leather is doing extremely well for us," said Chuck Tidwell, vice president of merchandising and product development at Franklin. "It allows us to hit a price point that we used to hit in opening price-point leather."
Tidwell said the company has considered using a low grade of leather for the seat and back cushions of its entry-level products, but said recent manufacturing improvements have given many bonded leather covers a better look and feel than an entry level grade of leather.
"At that level, the leather is so heavily corrected that it will chip and peel," he said.
Anthony Teague, senior vice president of sales and merchandising at Jackson Furniture, agreed, saying that bonded leather is also more durable and easier to clean than genuine leather.
"Especially if you have children or pets, bonded leather just makes so much more sense than leather," said Teague.
He said the top-selling sofa frames in the company's stationary Jackson line and its Catnapper motion upholstery line both have padded bonded leather covers that have the look and feel of a thick, heavyweight leather.
"That's where the action is for us," he said.
Other upholstery resources are taking a slightly different approach. Best Home Furnishings, for example, often combines bonded and top-grain leather to hit key entry-level price points (bonded leather is used on less-visible back and side panels), while leather upholstery stalwart Natuzzi last year launched a separate brand, Softaly, that uses much the same technique.
Resources such as Klaussner, Broyhill and Violino, meanwhile, have begun merchandising sofas with all-leather covers that typically hit retail price points of $1,199 to $1,799.
Instead of using bonded leather on the back and side panels, they keep the all-leather mantra by using leather splits - the less-expensive layers of a cowhide below the top grain.
"We're not looking to be a bottom feeder. If anything, we're trying to take the price points up a bit," said Chris Stevens, Violino's president of sales and marketing in North America.
Paul Peters, product portfolio director for Broyhill's upholstery business, said his company was very pleased with last month's launch of a special order leather upholstery program that features domestically made all-leather sofas at $1,299 to $1,699. He said the new program will complement Broyhill's line of bonded leather sofas, which hit price points as low as $899.
"Top-grain still has an extremely important role to play in the marketplace," Peters said. "We think there's a great story to tell at the middle price points."
He acknowledged there could be confusion between the new program and its bonded leather line, which Broyhill calls Performance Leather, and said it's important for the company to explain the differences to dealers.
"I think it would be naïve to say there hasn't been some confusion ... but we clearly communicate what Performance Leather is," said Peters.
Greg Sicard, sales manager at Best, said his company takes a similar approach with its bonded leather product, which Best calls Performa- Blend.
"We purposely chose that name so we can explain (to dealers) what it is," he said. "As long as you are being honest with everybody, there shouldn't be an issue with it."
Lane officials did the same things at last month's High Point Market with the introduction of several recliners and sofas covered in Tru Leather, a product the company says is 85% leather and 15% polyurethane coating.
According to literature distributed at market, Tru Leather is manufactured by extracting the collagen fibers found in leather scraps and then weaving the fibers back into the leather to create a consistent thickness, color, feel and pattern.
Lane says this process maximizes yields from leather hides and eliminates the tanning process, which has been criticized as unfriendly to the environment.

text: Hi there folks! I'm Brian and have been reading post from SMF for a while now and finally decided to become a member. It seemed that anytime I had a question, I was able to answer it looking through the post here...much appreciated I might add. I have been cooking low and slow for about 5 years now and just moved (as of this past weekend) to a REC TEC Pellet Grill. Before that, i cooked on an ECB and Smokey Mountain vertical water smoker and decided it was time for an upgrade! I always say that you can never have too many hobbies (as much as the old lady might disagree). I'm into BBQ, Fishing, Hunting, Camping, Dirt Biking, Shooting, Reloading, Metal Detecting, Prospecting and anything that sounds like it might be fun! I live in Southern California (around Disneyland) and am looking forward to learning from others as well as providing help where i can. Cheers!

Anritsu analyzer offers portable accuracy
Post a comment
Anritsu Company has introduced an NBFM for its LMR Master S412E handheld analyzer that measures narrowband analog FM (NBFM) land mobile radio (LMR) system performance. The LMR Master S412E is a portable solution for LMR network engineers and field technicians to determine system performance.
The LMR Master S412Es NBFM Mode, now standard on all new instruments, can be retrofitted to existing instruments via a standard no-cost firmware upgrade. Arnitsu states it automatically detects the carrier frequency of an unknown transmitter, tunes to that frequency, and analyzes the transmitters deviation, CTCSS/DCS tone, occupied bandwidth and other parameters. With the NBFM Mode, the LMR Master S412E can support analog LMR systems that use either 12.5 kHz channels or 25 kHz channels.
The NBFM Mode expands the capabilities of the LMR Master S412E and supports P25, NXDN, and DMR/MotoTRBO systems. A built-in vector network analyzer (VNA) delivers a transmission dynamic range of > 100 dB, so users can view and adjust the RF performance of RF devices including filters, duplexers, transmitter combiners, receiver multi-couplers and tower-mounted amplifiers. VNA measurements are displayed and updated on the LMR Master S412Es 8.4 high-resolution TFT touch screen with 850 µs/point sweep speed.
It includes a built-in spectrum analyzer with DANL of -152 dBm, dynamic range of > 95 dB (both 10 Hz RBW @ 2.4 GHz) and a third-order intercept of greater than +16 dBm. A low phase-noise reference oscillator (< -110 dBc/Hz typical @ 10 kHz offset) measures NBFM, P25, NXDN, and DMR system performance, including emission masks, bit-error rate (BER), and modulation fidelity or error-vector magnitude (EVM).
The LMR Master S412Es optional accuracy power meter measures RMS from 50 MHz to 6 GHz using external sensors, including inline sensors capable of handling up to 150 watts.
The LMR Master S412E has a starting price of $13,950.

MOSCOW — The Soviet Union's spacecraft Vega 1 sent data from its first close glimpse of Halley's comet Tuesday to international observers assembled at the Institute for Space Research.
The unmanned spacecraft was nearly 9 million miles from the comet's nucleus when the sensors went on Tuesday morning, so the first data were sparse. But the ship, streaking at 47 miles a second, was set to carry out what would be man's first close encounter with the solar system's best-known comet.

Hit hard, Slowey placed on disabled list
Slowey heads to Twins disabled list
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins suffered an 11-9 loss to the Tigers in 16 innings on Friday night, but the bigger blow came when they lost their 10-game winner as well. Right-hander Kevin Slowey was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the contest with a strained right wrist. The Twins have called up right-hander Anthony Swarzak from Triple-A Rochester to take his place on the roster. Slowey, who entered the night trying to become the first pitcher in the Majors to win 11 games, tossed just three innings against Detroit as he gave up a season-worst six runs on five hits.
It was during his start that Slowey felt a "sharp pain radiating from my wrist." It's the same wrist that was hit by a Juan Uribe line drive in Slowey's final start of the 2008 season on Sept. 25 against the White Sox at the Metrodome. At the time, he was diagnosed with just a bruise after X-rays and an MRI both came back clear. Slowey is scheduled to have the wrist examined by doctors on Monday, and that's when the club will know more about how long the injury might sideline him, manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It's the same general area," Slowey said. "That's what hurt last year obviously from blunt force trauma. But I think they'll look into whether it was related. ... More than anything, it's concerning because it's in my right wrist, a pretty significant area." Slowey said that this is the first time he's experienced the pain in his wrist this season, and that he didn't feel anything there during his previous three-inning start in St. Louis. The pain didn't occur on a specific pitch, Slowey added, but that it went from "dull to sharp" over the course of his outing. "It was something that kind of affected how I held onto the ball, grip strength, etc.," Slowey said. "It was just very, very uncomfortable." Swarzak, who is scheduled to join the team in time for Saturday's contest vs. Detroit, will pitch out of the bullpen for the first few days he's with the team before being slotted into the rotation. He'll provide an extra arm in relief for the Twins, who used all six of their relief pitchers in Friday's loss. So for now, the Twins will remain at just 11 pitchers. "He's rested and can come out of the bullpen and he's good to go," Gardenhire said. "That's what we have. ... We've got one and see if we have to get another we'll do that too." Gardenhire said that Swarzak will get the start in Slowey's next turn, which is scheduled for Thursday vs. the Yankees.

Our coffee stop today was the cafe at Stradishall. To get there we set off down Hills Road to Addenbrooke's and then turned left onto Wort's causeway for the climb over The Gogs to Fulbourn.
Hills Road, Cambridge
Although we do this climb regularly on our evening rides, this was the first time for some time that I had ridden it in daylight. Today was a dull day, with light winds, but probably the mildest Sunday we have had so far this year: after the climb had warmed me up further I began to feel a little over-dressed.
Wort's Causeway
We dropped down to Fulbourn and continued through The Wilbrahams to Six Mile Bottom.
Great Wilbraham
Our second climb of the morning - and probably the main climb of the day - was from Six Mile Bottom to Brinkley. I was keen to have a bit of hill-climbing practice so along this section I found myself riding ahead of the group through Great Bradley and Little Thurlow, arriving at Cafe 33 (formerly Adam's cafe) in Stradishall at about 11.10am.
Cafe 33, Stradishall
Already in the cafe were Keith, Adrian and Geoff. When I arrived the cafe was quiet, and my beans on toast was served quickly. However when the main group arrived - at the same time as a contingent of motorcyclists - the queue soon built up and there some of us had to wait for quite a while. Nevertheless I think this cafe is improved by its new management: it's essentially the same place, with the same menu and the same very reasonable prices, but it's definitely a bit smarter. I'm not sorry I no longer have to stir my tea with a communal teaspoon.
Hawson Hills, approaching Gazeley
After coffee we re-grouped for the next stage of the ride, to lunch at La Hogue near Chippenham. This was probably the nicest part of today's ride, along less familiar lanes through Wickhambrook and Dalham and then north to Kentford and across the flatlands to Chippenham. Apart from a short climb through the woods between Dalham and Gazeley, this part of the ride was mostly downhill.
Keith enjoying lunch in Chippenham
As usual, the cafe at La Hogue was very busy, with no space for us indoors beyond the six places we had booked. However it was mild enough for half the group to sit outside, and as always this was a very pleasant visit.
Heading home after lunch in Chippenham
After lunch we returned home to Cambridge via Snailwell, Exning and Burwell. Along the way it started to rain, but it never got very heavy and I didn't need to put on my rain jacket. I arrived home just before 4pm, having cycled 103km (64 miles). Nigel Deakin

STAY ALERT, fellow explorers—for the following exhilarating tale is both factual and startling! 'Twas but three days since I was roused from study in my manor and tasked with yet another perilous adventure—for the likes of which I am, I must humbly admit, rather famed and envied.
Her Majesty hath decided that The Mysterious West must be explored—and that myself, as her virile and erudite servant, was the only worthy gentleman! With little more ado, I packed my elephant gun, settled my pith helmet upon my brow, and sallied forth, daring to go farther West than any before, to a land whispered of in myth: "Beaverton." As my thrilling tale concludes, you will learn that I barely escaped with my life, and should you be sensitive to shocks, or of the feminine persuasion, I beg you read no further.
The scientifical evidence we possess on this Westward land is vexing: Is it a Lost City to rival Asgard or Atlantis? Is it a dale of Elysian dales? Is it a towne made up of super-intelligent beaver-folk, who dress and speak and use gnawed-upon tiddlywinks as currency?
None of the above, brave reader! But I hath gotten ahead of mine self: Traveling the ramshackle road to Beaverton is a treacherous endeavour. At the gaping maw of an ominous tunnel, one finds a dire posting: "PEDESTRIANS PROHIBITED," leaving one with no misconceptions that should one not possess mechanized conveyance, they are not welcome. Indeed, in all my time in the Far West (a time which—and I mean not to boast!—nearly eclipsed three hours), I saw not a single denizen of Beaverton who was not seated within an automated buggy.
Of these pale natives I saw but little, ensconced as they were in their massive metallic wagons; learning of them through their effects seemed the only safe action. For while I am courageous and strapping, and have won no fewer than two and one-half bare-knuckled boxing matches when fisticuffs were necessitated, I am no fool, and I value my life as much (or more) as the next well-bred gentleman!
Of the two most frequent sights in Beaverton I shall say only this: "Miniature malls" and "Christian meeting centers" dot the land—indeed, they seem the chief method of architecture for these natives, who scurry betwixt them via an astonishingly labyrinthine system of roads. Behold! Even with mine sextant, astrolabe, and sense of direction that hath been described by mine self as "eerily unerring" and "tip-top," I must admit I spent nearly two hours and 57 minutes of my expedition profoundly lost.
Of the crude signs and strange Meccas I shall soon describe, try to believeth mine words, impossible they might seem!
Even the quaint "City Hall" of Beaverton stands in a "miniature mall" of sorts, sharing a paved lot with shoppes bearing the marks of both "Verizon Wireless" and "Noodles & Co." (The former I presume to be purveyors of trapping supplies; the latter some kind of Orientals' den, operated by those mischievous creatures of the Far East, no doubt lying in wait for unsuspecting opium fiends to "Shanghai.")
Various signs erected by the natives reveal an eager attempt at discourse yet a damning lack of cognizance: "Obama is a fraud!" read one hand-scrawled sign clumsily attached to one motorized transport. It bears remarking that the "O" in said statement contained additional markings within its interiour: Two dots and a an upside-down "U," making said "O" appear to crudely resemble a frowning human face!
Of the geographical anomaly of "Nike World Campus," this veteran traveler finds himself in awe: 'Tis a palatial estate of gurgling fountains, well-tended fields, and a most tranquil lake that concealeth Lord knoweth how many gigantic serpentine dragonnes. Through punctilious research, I learned the head of this kingdom was once but a lowly knight who raised himself to lordship upon the ceaseless labor of the smallest of children from the exotic Orient! (Feel not pity for these industrious lads! If thou feels a pesky nag of sympathy, only remember the sins no doubt transpiring this very moment within that sty of deviance and terror, Noodles & Co.)
I ask not your admiration for my admirable accomplishments—only gratitude for the knowledge I hath discovered. While my quest hath tired me, it shall not be long before I feel the tumescent urge to undertake another journey, and I encourage you to immediately begin anticipating my next report with your utmost levels of enthusiasm. Until then, I remind you to keep your pistols loaded and within easy grasp AT ALL TIMES, for one never knows if talking beavers may still lurk in the West's unexplored shadows. Perhaps someday they shall rise and shamble Eastward, coming upon our faire City with their razor-sharp fangs and unquenchable thirst for human blood. Cheerio!

Boehner promises $50M for NRCC
CLEVELAND — The top House Republican said he plans to raise $50 million to defeat Democrats this November.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, speaking to a group of reporters after a speech about the economy here, said that Republicans have "closed the gap considerably on the money front with the Democrats."
Story Continued Below
With an unpopular agenda and the built-in challenges of incumbency, Democrats' money was a major advantage going into November. Boehner's goal of raising $50 million to challenge Democrats would be a huge boon for the GOP come November. But Boehner said Republicans still have a "long way to go."
"That's what we have to raise," Boehner told a group of reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, POLITICO, Newsweek, Vanity Fair and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Boehner's remarks come just one week after the National Republican Congressional Committee revealed to POLITICO that it was planning on spending $22 million on a TV ad blitz aimed at erasing the 39-seat Democratic majority. Of the 41 seats on the GOP list of ad reservations, 40 are Democratic-held seats.
Party strategists say that the buy amounts to an opening "wave" of reservations that will likely soon expand to other seats that are promising targets.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which holds a $36 million to $22 million cash-on-hand lead over the NRCC, has announced that it plans to spend more than $49 million in 60 seats this fall — 54 of which are Democratic-controlled.
Senior GOP officials said Tuesday that the party had avenues for raising further revenue, including the securing of a loan that would total in the millions.
But party strategists also say they see signs that the NRCC has stepped up its fundraising game, outpacing the DCCC for four consecutive months. The House GOP campaign arm has been chipping away at the Democratic money advantage that at this point in the 2008 cycle totaled nearly $40 million.
"I think $50 million is realistic," said one GOP official. "As long as those fundraising numbers continue, as long as those member transfers continue, that can happen."


text: Hey Gene, re your comments about getting tingly when on the edge of a cliff.....did you ever go up to the top of the CN tower and do that walk around outside on the five foot wide ledge? Just saw this on TV....looked cool. They have you harnessed to an overhead track but you have enough leeway that you can stand with your toes over the edge and lean out over the void. Lovin' the RR and think it's great that you're taking your time and seeing everything you want to as you go. The urge to cover ground, make progress, is powerful....for me too. But reading your RR I can see there's definitely an advantage to doing it your way rather than putting an overall time limit on your trip or focusing on making miles. Thanks!

An integer partition for a set of integers is a way to divide that set of numbers into two or more subsets, with approximately the same sum in each subset and the same number of elements in each subset. The authors have developed a method to estimate the work done by commonly used algorithms. Their method is based on one of Knuth's methods for estimating the size of backtrack trees.

I went through a period of downloading all of these games with in-app purchases. Basically, you could play the game for about 10 minutes before it was almost impossible to move forward without buying something. Ugh! Even though this game is a similar format, you are still able to play and enjoy the game without having to pay! With a bit of time, you can successfully get enough coins to adore the game and move steadily forward. I have thoroughly this gaming experience.
Now, leave me alone. I have to go back to my kingdom now! :)
My game was deleted at level 73!
It was bad enough that I was always getting kicked off this games server. But one day I logged in and my whole game was poof! Gone! It was a lot if fun and cute game. Wish someone would have responded when I posted this happened.
Please update!!!
Been trying to play ,but game just sits at load screen saying can't login to server??? Pls fix this bug!!!!!

Interior Lifestyle China grows by two pavilions
July 8, 2013,
With four pavilions already committed to returning to Interior Lifestyle China 2013, the show, based at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, is growing by an additional two pavilions.
"We are very happy to welcome first time pavilions from India and the U.S. to the show," said Wendy Wen, senior general manager of Messe Frankfurt, which organizes the show. "These pavilions have been organised by India's Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH) and the International Housewares Association from the US. Both organisations are showing their confidence in China's fast-growing consumer market."
Derek Miller, International Housewares Association vice president, said the show is properly positioned to introduce western brands and products to the Chinese market.
"Interior Lifestyle China represents an excellent opportunity for our members to meet appropriate buyers. Even though our members have been to China to source products in the past, this will be the first organized effort to showcase our member's brands within the Chinese marketplace," Miller said. "The pavilion participants would like to better understand the Chinese market and the opportunities and challenges that exist. They also want to meet Chinese retail and distributor buyers and other partners who can help them enter the market.
The theme of the show, which takes place Sept. 25-27, is "Gift of Life," and will feature the "Store of Happiness" which will be divided into four themed gift sections - Fashionable Wedding, Modern Gift, Seasonable Festival and Gift Package.

Miscarrying ?
February 27th, 2012
I started bleeding Heavily Thursday morning and bleed fairly heavy until that evening then the bleeding slacked off. For the next 2 days I spotted lightly, just enough that when I wipped it was pink. I completely stopped bleeding on Sunday but still have pain in my stomach and back. I didn
't pass any clots or tissue at any time while I bleed. Does this still mean I miscarried since I only bleed for about 24hrs or do you think the baby is ok? I have been to the doc for an ultrasound and blood work and had repeated blood work today, mon. Will know the results Wed. This is torchering me. I need someone to be honest with me and tell me what my chances are. When I had the ultrasound the doc said that the egg implanted low in the uterus and that i had a 50/50 chance of carrying full term. This is devistating. Please let me know what you think soon. I am worrying myself to death.

|More information:
"John Everett Millais (1829-1896) was one of the most celebrated figures of Victorian art. As a young man, he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt. In later years, he rose to wealth, acclaim, and social prestige as a landscapist, illustrator, and painter of subject and genre paintings, and as the most successful British portrait painter of his generation. This illustrated book, published to accompany a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, is the first comprehensive survey of Millais's portraits. It is also a historically important record of High Victorian England, containing the artist's memorable images of such leading political and cultural figures as Gladstone, Disraeli, Tennyson, Ruskin, Carlyle, and Lillie Langtry. The book includes 136 color reproductions as well as essays by eminent scholars that place Millais's work in the context of his public and private life, making this an authoritative and visually compelling study of the artist's extraordinary contributions to portraiture."--Jacket.

Four-month-old Icianna Angeline Brady was pronounced dead at 11 p.m. Thursday at Loma Linda University Medical Center, according to the Riverside County coroner's office.
The baby was taken there after she was discovered not breathing in a home in the 300 block of Main Street in Lake Elsinore just before 1 p.m. Monday, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
The infant's father, Michael Jason Brady, 29, was arrested after Icianna was hospitalized.
Authorities allege that Brady was intoxicated and negligent in caring for the baby.
Charges of assault of a child resulting in great bodily injury or death, as well as felony child endangerment have been filed against Brady by the district attorney's office, according to court records.
Brady pleaded not guilty to all charges Wednesday when he appeared at Southwest Justice Center in French Valley.

Our photo doesn't show it, but this elegant grass has fine, arching white-and-green variegated leaves of great beauty, giving the whole plant a silvery appearance. Introduced from Japan in 1976, this grass is now considered the best of the Miscanthus group, and a stunning specimen plant for garden or meadow.
The elegant reddish plumes (which dry for arrangements to a creamy white) appear in September or October, adding great drama to the fall landscape.
About Miscanthus hybrids: Our friend, Jack Scheper, the plant expert who runs Floridata.com, tell us that there are now hundreds of cultivars of this handsome grass. He says What they have in common are a clump forming habit (never forming turf), in which the leaves grow up, then cascade out and down like a fountain; foliage that turns various shades of gold or bronze in autumn and holds up well throughout the winter; erect flowers that shine in the summer sun, then turn soft and fluffy in winter, and persist beautifully in dried arrangements; and a preference for sunny positions in the landscape.

We put this grass at a lake home. We aren't there a lot so we needed something that can " make it without much help" This grass is great. It was a little slow starting but is doing great now. I love how it looks so fragile, but must really be a tough plant! I love it. Thanks.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

Kings Of Leon's Long-Awaited New Album Expected To Be Released In September, And Expected To Sound Immature?
It looks like we'll finally hear something new from Kings of Leon towards the end of 2013. They're expected to release their next album sometime in September. What can we expect? Bassist Jared Followill says the band has finished recording it…and it sound surprisingly immature!?
We haven't heard much from Kings of Leon since Caleb Followill had an onstage meltdown in the summer of 2011, and the band had to abruptly cancel the rest of their U.S. tour. Rumors of Caleb leaving the band later surfaced, but it now looks like the Kings (with Caleb) will be back with a new album later this year. Caleb's brother, and Kings' bassist, Jared Followill says the new album will have an immature sound reminiscent of their earlier work. Wow, not exactly the best endorsement. Jared said, quote,
I thought we were going to make a really mature album, but I'm amazed how youthful it sounds. It's like a mix of [our debut album] 'Youth & Young Manhood' and [our third album] 'Because of the Times'.
Kings of Leon's earlier fans are probably thrilled to hear this (the band had a much different sound on their first few albums). There's no title or release date yet. As of right now, look out for it sometime in September. We'll keep ya posted!

You know, the first real cRPGs had their focus not on the graphics. Graphics werent as good as these days of course. That wasnt possible due to the hardware-limitations. People had to use the music, they had to use sound effects to create atmosphere. Nowadays you use some super hyper graphics, put in some epic music and think well, thats atmosphere!. And in this case you couldnt be more wrong.
Music is a very subliminal way to manipulate the mood of the player. Especially in videogames it can affect the mood in so many ways. And thats why we not only have a look at the graphics but also on the music (and on the sound effects, as you already know). Weve given and we will give a lot of attention to the creation of the music for Chaos Chronicles.
Currently we are working on the different combat themes. Youre eyes arent foolin you: To achieve a deep atmosphere here we decided to not only have one, but several themes. We had the feeling that the players feeling should differ if he (or she) is fighting against different types of opponents. So we made the decision to go for unique themes for each type of enemy

In addition to being a highly successful military man, Cmdr. Robert Dolan also coached Little League, chaperoned school dances and loved to eat jambalaya at a Ponte Vedra Beach restaurant.
Dolan, 43, of Ponte Vedra was among the 124 people inside the Pentagon believed killed when terrorists flew a jetliner into it Tuesday morning.
The Defense Department says 188 people -- military and civilian employees at the Pentagon and the passengers and crew in the plane that hit it -- were believed killed in the crash.
"Bob Dolan was smart, kind, humble and generous and could quote Shakespeare and Monty Python in the same breath," said Mark Wallinger of Alexandria, Va., who was the best man at Dolan's wedding in 1983."He was my best friend," he said.
He was a loving father, faithful and devoted husband, a dutiful son, wonderful brother and true friend, said Dolan's wife, Lisa, in an e-mail message to the Times-Union.
He viewed service as a privilege and honor as a badge he wore proudly, she wrote.
"The Americans, both civilian and military, killed and wounded in the past few days under this unwarranted attack join the ranks of patriots fallen in other conflicts. They are Americans all, and our duty is to remember them as heroes," she wrote.
Dolan in 1998 led the Mayport-based USS John Hancock destroyed before it was decommissioned last fall. He had been assigned to the Pentagon for two years and had one year to go.
Friends said he hoped to be assigned to another destroyer at Mayport. If not, he and Lisa would retire with their two children, Rebecca, 15 and Beau, 9 to a home they bought in Ponte Vedra six months ago.
When serving on the USS Hancock and waiting for his family to join him in Florida, Dolan ate dinner about five nights a week at LuLu's Waterfront Cafe on Roscoe Boulevard in Ponte Vedra.
"He looked like a kindergarten teacher, quiet, docile, gentle," said restaurant owner Pat Finley, who was shocked to learn Dolan's occupation.
"You are kidding! You are commander of the new destroyer?" Finley told him. "Here he was this quiet, unassuming guy and ... he's a warrior."
Dolan's favorite dish was jambalaya -- a mixture of chicken, fish, shrimp, sausage and cheese over rice -- and a Caesar salad.
"I had to break him of eating that every single time," said Finley, who called Dolan "Capt. Bob" and was once a guest on the destroyer.
"It was the most wonderful experience of my life. It was exciting and thrilling and to see him in full uniform. It was the most well-run operation I have seen in my life," Finley said. "That's when I saw Capt. Bob as Cmdr. Robert Dolan, the warrior."
Finley cried as he talked about a sign he hung at the restaurant honoring Dolan and his plans to redo his menus and rename his jambalaya: Capt. Bob's Jambalaya.
"He loved Florida, the atmosphere in Ponte Vedra," Finley said. "He found friends and family here."

I think, like most of the others, we are interested in the stamps, not so much the packaging, so I don't think you'll have any trouble selling. I started buying stamps a few years ago, and didn't really think about where they came from etc,it's only since I've been blogging that I've realised it might be helpful to add the info, but I have found it's easy enough to find catalogue images on line, if someone really wanted to get the info, they could find it to print out. I'm in the process of unmounting pretty much all my woodmounted stamps, and putting them on sheets in Ring binders. They just take up too much space. And I stopped stressing about keeping sets together- I have all my sentiments together, etc, as I found that too many stamps were getting forgotten about because how they were stored wasn't really user friendly, and thats really what it comes down to, I think- finding the most user friendly system for yourself.

Orangutanka: A Story in Poems
by Newbery Honor winning author Margarita Engle
illustrations by Renée Kurilla
Holt 2015
All the orangutans are ready for a nap in the sleepy depths of the afternoon-- all except one. This little orangutan wants to dance! A hip-hop, cha-cha-cha dance full of somersaults and cartwheels. But who will dance with her? Written in bold poems in the tanka style, an ancient Japanese form of poetry that is often used as a travel diary, this exuberant orangutan celebration from acclaimed poet Margarita Engle will make readers want to dance, too!
*From School Library Journal (Starred Review) "This well-crafted book, with its accomplished verses and smattering of facts, should earn a wide audience."
*From Kirkus "Kurilla's lush, digitally colored illustrations are as joyous and full of wonder as Engle's verse."
*From Publisher's Weekly "Kurilla's dynamic mixed-media images show an adult orangutan perched between branches, while another spread follows another orangutan's progress down to the jungle floor"
*From Booklist "The hilarious digitally colored pencil-and-ink illustrations depict the lush jungle environment and the furry orange orangutans..."

Hart continues to impress with durability
Hart continues to impress with durability
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers spent Spring Training concerned about the Opening Day status of Corey Hart and his surgically-repaired right knee. Turns out they were worried about the wrong guy. As of Sunday, Hart was the Brewers' only Opening Day position player who had not missed a regular-season game with an injury. First baseman Mat Gamel and shortstop Alex Gonzalez were lost for the season to knee injuries. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy is out six weeks with a fractured hand. Center fielder Carlos Gomez spent two weeks on the disabled list in May with a strained hamstring. Second baseman Rickie Weeks missed a few days after being struck on the left hand by a pitch. And left fielder Ryan Braun (Achilles) and third baseman Aramis Ramirez (quadriceps) were both out of the lineup Sunday with ailments the Brewers believe will be short-term setbacks.
Hart, meanwhile, has had two days off, both simply to rest. He made his 52nd start on Sunday. "The knee hasn't been a problem for a while," said Hart, who had surgery March 6 to repair a torn meniscus. "I've had some aches, and the colder weather days were worse. But we got off to such a rough start with injuries that it never really came into play." In other words, he has not had the luxury of taking days off. The Brewers have needed his bat. "I think I started a trend in Spring Training, a bad trend," Hart said. "It's been very unfortunate here so far, [but] guys have been stepping up."

Anti-Muslim actions rise in UK over slain soldier
happy2bhere clearfield, UTMay 25, 2013 4:50 p.m.
Well, free countries that allow extremist Muslims to come and live there have two choices. Give in and allow Muslim extremism to grow until it overwhelms, or fight back and make extremist types like these murderers of the British soldier either leave the country or live underground. One thing I'm sure will not happen. Radical Islam becomes peaceful Islam.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: mass air flow sensor on 2000 Buick LeSabre
i have a 2000 lesabre ive replaced the maf sensor twice but i still have the same code it but when i start car it turns off but it runs once fuel pump comes on
Sounds like the MAF sensor is not your problem, what is the code you are getting?
You have to make sure there are no vacuum leaks in the intake system, make sure the connector terminals are clean and tight and the wiring needs to be in good condition. This mean you may need to check the wiring with a volt/ohm meter between the MAF and the ECM. Check the ground wires very closely as well.
You may have another issue as well, check the fuel pressure and make sure the pump is working normally.
You may have another issue as well, check the fuel pressure and make sure the pump is working normally.
po102 mass air flow sensor or vaf low input but once the fuel pumb makes noise in back of car the car leavels off
Just an FYI for those still reading this post. The noise that appears to be coming from the fuel pump in the back is not the fuel pump, but a leveling motor to the suspension system. When the car is started, a sensor in the rear tells the motor if the suspension needs to be raised, which will occur more frequently with shocks that have not been replaced in a while.
Replace the pigtail that connects the MAF. Seen this problem several times in the last few years.

Report: Management failures contributed to drug lab scandal
BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com/AP) -- A report by the state's inspector general has concluded that disgraced chemist Annie Dookhan was the "sole bad actor" at the Hinton Drug Lab.
The report notes, however, that management failures contributed to Dookhan's ability to commit her "acts of malfeasance."
Governor Deval Patrick told FOX 25 that he takes responsibility for the scandal at the now closed drug lab.
"Well you know look, I'm responsible, I'm the governor," he said.
It's a mess that led to the conviction of Dookhan, the release of hundreds from jail, and the state spending millions to investigate it all.
"We got an allowance if you will from the legislature, I think it was $30 million and we've spent 18 of the 30 dealing with this," Patrick said.
The inspector general's scathing report was released after a 15-month investigation and found management failures from the top down.
His report detailed "chronic managerial negligence, inadequate training, and a lack of professional standards."
"The lack of effective management and oversight provided the atmosphere for someone like Annie Dookhan to commit her crimes," Mass. Inspector General Glenn A. Cunha said.
According to the inspector general's office, "The directors were ill-suited to oversee a forensic drug lab, provided almost no supervision, were habitually unresponsive to chemists' complaints and suspicions, and severely downplayed Dookhan's major breach in chain-of-custody protocol upon discovering it."
The report goes on to say former DPH Commissioner John Auerbach and his staff did not respond appropriately to reports of Dookhan's breach of protocol. They also claim DPH staff failed to disclose "another known act of malfeasance" to investigators and other interested parties.
Cunha's findings were released Tuesday. The investigation into the lab was ordered after it was shut down by Mass. State Police in 2012 following allegations of misconduct against Dookhan.
Prosecutors said the former chemist admitted "dry labbing," or testing only a fraction of a batch of samples, then listing them all as positive for illegal drugs, to "improve her productivity and burnish her reputation."
"Though many of the chemists worked alongside Dookhan for years, the OIG found no evidence that any other chemist at the Drug Lab committed any malfeasance with respect to testing evidence or knowingly aided Dookhan in committing her malfeasance," read the inspector general's report. "The OIG found no evidence that Dookhan tampered with any drug samples assigned to another chemist even when she played a role in confirming another chemist's test results."
Dookhan was sentenced to three to five years in prison in November after pleading guilty to charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and tampering with evidence.
Cunha's office also put forth recommendations in the wake of the scandal. They say all state agencies must employ practices that hold supervisors accountable for their employees. The inspector general adds that Mass. State Police is the appropriate agency to handle the forensic testing formerly conducted at the lab prior to its closure.
Since the lab closed in August 2012, more than 1,000 criminal cases have been dismissed or not prosecuted because of tainted evidence or other fallout from the lab's shutdown.

US citizen Kenneth Bae sent back to labour camp after hospital treatment
Jailed for allegedly plotting to overthrow North Korean government, Kenneth Bae is released from hospital to resume 15-years' hard labour
North Korea has moved imprisoned US citizen Kenneth Bae from hospital and back to a labour camp, which could complicate efforts to win his release.
In an interview on Friday with a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan, the Chosun Sinbo, Bae confirmed he had been transferred back to the "special correctional facility" in Pyongyang on January 20.
Bae, a tour operator described by a North Korean court as a militant Christian evangelist, was arrested in November 2012 and later sentenced to 15 years' hard labour on charges of seeking to topple the government.
"The Department of State has learned that the DPRK [North Korea] transferred Mr Bae from a hospital to a labour camp, a development with which we are deeply concerned," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
She said Washington was "gravely concerned" about the health of the Korean American, who has been in detention for more than 15 months.
"We continue to urge DPRK authorities to grant Mr Bae special amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds," she added.
In his interview with the Chosun Sinbo, Bae expressed gratitude to the North Korean authorities for treating him "humanely" and pleaded with Pyongyang to allow him to return home through negotiations with the US government.
Bae said his daily routine included eight hours of manual labour and rest in the evening with books and television but chronic back pain made it hard for him to do long hours of work.
The interview was conducted when a Chosun Sinbo reporter accompanied a Swedish embassy official to meet Bae in the camp. The diplomat talked with Bae separately before the press interview.
Bae said the diplomat told him that Robert King, US special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, planned to visit the country as early as next week to discuss his case.
His family says the 45-year-old is seriously ill.
Bae, who is also known as Pae Jun-Ho, was detained as he entered North Korea's northeastern port city of Rason.
He began serving his jail sentence in a prison camp in May 2013. In August he was admitted to hospital after he lost more than 23kg and began experiencing kidney and liver problems.
On Thursday, US President Barack Obama renewed a call for Bae's release at the annual national prayer breakfast, saying "let us never forget those who are persecuted today, among them Americans of faith".
"His family wants him home, and the United States will continue to do everything in our power to secure his release because Kenneth Bae deserves to be free," Obama said.
Last month, Secretary of State John Kerry met Bae's relatives at the State Department.
Bae apologised in January in a brief appearance before reporters in Pyongyang, acknowledging he had participated in anti-government acts - a public confession that observers saw as a prerequisite for any release.
His family, which has campaigned hard for his freedom, also apologised in a written statement.
The State Department contacted Bae's family on Friday "as soon as we received the Swedish consular report," Psaki said.
As Washington does not have diplomatic ties with Pyongyang, the Swedish embassy acts on its behalf.
"We continue to work actively to secure Mr Bae's release," she said, adding that an offer was still open to send King to the North.
King was invited to North Korea to discuss Bae's case at the end of August, but Pyongyang rescinded the invitation at the 11th hour without explanation.

Manager Ron Roenicke said Wednesday that the polyp was discovered during a routine colonoscopy. The veteran is expected to be in camp by Friday's mandatory reporting deadline.
Roenicke says he spoke with Ramirez this week. He says Ramirez is swinging a bat again, but can't pinpoint when he'll be ready to play in games.
Milwaukee plays its first spring training game Feb. 27.
The 35-year-old Ramirez is coming off a left knee injury that limited him to 92 games last season. The career .285 hitter had 12 homers and 49 RBIs in 2013.

-- On Hoffman's situation with the Padres:"It was a no-win situation. Deep down, I'm sure the Padres wanted to keep Hoffman and couldn't because there was no more money in their situation. And Hoffman. He took less last time. I don't blame him. I would have done the same thing. He thought he was worth more and the Padres couldn't sign him for what he and the market thought he was worth."
-- Comparing this with his final year: "My situation wasn't the same. I wanted to finish my career with the team that I started with, I was one of those few guys in that situation. Hoffy didn't start with the Padres. He started with the Reds and was with the Marlins. It's not quite the same feeling. This is where he was for the longest time."
-- On Hoffman: "I think he's good for another couple years. He feels like he can still pitch. And he'll get the opportunity for some saves in Milwaukee. And look, it's much like it was for Hoffy during his peak seasons for the Padres. He'll be working for a small market team and playing with guys he knows. This is a great deal for Hoffy and the Brewers."
-- On what Hoffman meant to Bochy and the Padres:"I've never had a better guy on a ballclub than Trevor. I always considered myself fortunate and lucky to have Trevor as my closer in San Diego. Knowing him personally and professionally, you appreciate what a great person he is, how he helps the club and the community."
-- On his value: "It's not by accident that the Padres have had so many great bullpens. The constant has always been Trevor at the back end. How many different guys pitched in front of him? He was special. He set an example. He's the best and he still had the strongest work ethic and discipline on the club. How could that not affect younger players? Want to see how it's done, watch No. 51. He worked at it. Every day, he never backed off, never waivered from his routine. Certainly he influenced teammates."
-- On Hoffman's place in the game: "Five years after he retires, he's in the Hall of Fame. We were all lucky to see him go down as the greatest closer."
-- "Really I am just saddened more than anything. Trevor has been such a great teammate, a great leader, a great person and a great friend. I have enjoyed my three years with him. He has had such a huge impact on my career, being able to share his experiences with my experience. He epitomized everything a Hall of Famer should be and it is sad to know I'm not going to suit up next to him next year."
--"When you have that type of player in your clubhouse and on your team, that presence is felt among your players. The torch will be passed to the other guys to assume that type of presence. It's not going to happen immediately. You hope in time, whether it's months or years, other players will take on that kind of presence. It's not easy."

I do not think that the GR said that Debian should try to guess the licensor's meaning when determining *distributability*. That seems even more dangerous. Doing so when interpreting the DFSG simply opens upDebian's users to liability if they ASSume that a package in main is free. But doing so when determining distributability opens up Debian to direct,primary liability. If that's what the developers meant, they should have said so. I'm sorry I didn't notice this earlier, before the GRs; the "hmm, wait, isn't ftpmaster download access restricted?" moment didn't come into my head until today.
Choice 1 said explicitely that Debian would continue to ship GFDL in its non-free section. So that advocators of choice 1 advocate a vote which would oblige Debian to violate copyright (obviously your "pratical" problem would remain the same if GFDL would be moved in the non-free section).
You are in fact showing the absurdity of such litteral reading. Obviously GFDL simply means that you cannot prevent a user who have received a copy of a GFDL to exercice his rights.

LaCrosse and other extreme sports
Faithful Democrat Jay Bullock is disappointed that his party's chairman would lie to Ben Masel, saying he would have a chance to speak at the state Democratic convention in La Crosse this coming weekend. Ben Masel is a fringe candidate running against Senator Herb Kohl in the Democrat Primary.
Normally I'm sympathetic with political parties not allowing fringe candidates to speak at state conventions, but then it would be a really short convention this weekend in La Crosse, right?
