The road to the 2011 Rugby World Cup runs through Edmonton for the men's national team.
Tomorrow Canada plays host to the United States (1:30 p.m.) at the Ellerslie Rugby Park for a berth into the 20-team tournament.
Having lost the first leg of the home-and-home series 12-6 last weekend in South Carolina, the Canadians need to win by at least seven points in order to book their tickets to New Zealand.
"Our first focus is on winning the game," said Canadian captain Pat Riordan. "Any game you play, you plan to win by more than seven, because that's the value of a converted try. You never look to just sit on a five-point lead.
"We have to go out to win the game and that's the first step."
Last week the Canadians had a chance to tie the game against the U.S but James Pritchard missed a kick with six minutes left. The Americans then extended their lead three minutes later with a 35-metre kick of their own.
A tie on the road would have given the Canadians a decided advantage in the return leg.
"We need to perform a lot better up front, that's where this game is going to be won or lost," said Canadian head coach Kieran Crowley. "I think they out-muscled us, maybe out-passioned us, whatever you want to call it. We need to have a lot more in our tank this week from that respect."
Canada has competed in every World Cup tournament since its inception in 1987.
Four years ago in France, Canada failed to win a game as they were eliminated in the group stage. Their best appearance came in 1991 when they reached the quarterfinals.
If they fail to beat the U.S. by at least seven points tomorrow, they'll have to get past Uruguay in a home-and-home series in August.
"This is the first time we've had to play in a home-and-home series to qualify," Riordan said. "I think that, currently with our situation, it's a big benefit to play at home. We're expected to have a big crowd behind us and as much as you want to focus to things on the field, it's nice to have a home crowd behind you."
Traditionally Canada has owned the United States on the pitch, with a 31-12-1 overall record against them.
Their loss last week was the first in over five years to the Americans.
Prior to that, Canada had a four-game winning streak against the United States. The last time they played a World Cup qualifier prior to the contest in South Carolina, Canada won 56-7.
"It's a huge rivalry," Riordan said. "We play each other every year and we know each other so well there is a real battle there. Playing each other for that World Cup qualifier adds pressure to the contest."
The Americans have qualified for four of the previous five World Cups. In France they lost all four of their group matches.
"We are a few points ahead coming into Edmonton, but I think we'd be very foolish to hang our hats on that," said U.S. head coach Eddie O'Sullivan.
"We have to go out and play (tomorrow) like it was a 0-0 game to start and then we'll see what happens. That's something that we've been talking about all week.
"I was happy with our performance last week, but we'll be trying to improve on it this week."

The Maximum Interest rate on an Unbalanced Growth Path
Abstract In a steady-state economy, an interest rate that is larger than the maximum growth rate would lead to an inconsistent price system. We identify a similar condition for a multisectoral economy off the steady state: If persistent inflation is to be avoided, the interest rate must not be larger than the maximum growth rate of a feasible subtechnology that is capable of covering final demand.

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person

I think this is what happened to Jennifer, she was drinking, and while she was very very rude to Blakeley, I doubt she even knew what she was saying. Jamie when she gyrated on Ben's lap, very drunk, Jenna when she spoke about tampons and made no sense at all, drunk.There is an ongoing theme to all this .
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
I am under the impression that the statistics on the on line dating sites show that the match seekers are mostly over 40, so why not ?
In any case, I do think that most if not all of the women this season were too good for Ben. I mean really. Think about him really fitting with any of them, their families or their lifestyles.

I think it was noticeable that the girls at the WTA "loosened up" as the show progressed. I read that Chris Harrison fell ill during the taping so the girls had a lot of downtime while they waited for him to come back. If you had been witnessing yourself "loosen up" too much on TV over the last few months, wouldn't you think that you would refrain from drinking a lot during that WTA downtime? Does anyone learn from their experiences these days?

This manga features Ryouga, a boy with superhuman strength who wants to find his missing father. The only clue Ryouga has is a mysterious figure in the clouds named "Arcades" who promised to take him to his father once he became strong enough. Joining Ryouga is Miruto, a girl who works for an organization that tracks down villains who use Pokemon for their evil intentions and Yappy, a journalist who aims to expose all of the evil in the world.
The plot centers around "Burst", the ability to use crystals with Pokémon stored in them to transform into human-Pokémon hybrids. Ryouga's Burst is Zekrom, the same one his father used in the past.

text: The fifth edition of Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing is the essential book that combines legal and ethical knowledge for students and practicing nurses in one text. It reflects the continuing influence that the law, legal issues, and the field of ethics have on the professional practice of nursing. Readers familiar with earlier editions will recognize that much of the content in this book is new or updated to mirror changes in the practice of professional nursing. This edition also combines the field of ethics with legal issues, as these two aspects of professional nursing practice cannot truly be separated. This is a perfect resource for graduate nursing students or professional nurses needing an additional reference.

Mangaluru: International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) held a press meet at the press Club Urwa here, on February 4.
Addressing the mediapersons, Organising Secretary, Devotee Sanandana Dasa said, "The ISCKON Mangaluru Branch is organising the 13th Annual Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Ratha Yatra festival on Saturday, 6 February starting from City Centre Mall at 5:15 pm. This journey of festival is being enacted when 5000 years ago Krishna Balarama brothers undertook a journey in Vrindavan in Mathura on a chariot to grant audience to all their devotees and also fashioned in the lines of most famous Ratha yatra of Jagannatha Puri symbolising pulling the Lord into our hearts. The Yatra will be inaugurated by B Ramanath Rai, Minister of Forest, Environment and Ecology; Vinay Hegde, Chancellor Nitte University will be the Chief Guest with the holy presence of Sri Vishwavallabha Teertha Swamiji, Sri Sode Vadiraja Math, Udupi. Chanchalapati Dasa, Vice-President of ISCKON Bengaluru and Vice-Chairman of the Akshaya Patra Foundation will preside over the function. "
He further said "The colourful Ratha Yatra will be Flagged Off after an inaugural special Puja at 5:45 pm from the City Centre Mall. The majestically decorated and illuminated spectacular chariot carrying the Deities of Sri Krishna Balarama will proceed from City Centre Mall to Hampankatta Market Road and culminate at C V Nayak Hall at 8:30 pm which will be followed by Sansirtan, Maha Mangala Arati and serving of Prasadam by the volunteers."
"The entire procession will be spiritually powered by the loud and ecstatic chanting and reciting of the Hare Krishna Hare Rama kirtans by the devotees accompanied by dancing in front of the chariot by the followers," he added.

Questions From Buyers
Is it really x-ray glass? Can we see through clothes with this?
These are not X-Ray glasses. X-Ray is the name of the color Dragon used to describe these shades.
What is Grilamid?
Grilamid is a nylon characterized by an extremely high bending strength, low density and a resistance to UV damage. So the frames are shatter-resistant, lightweight and durable.
What is an 6-Base lens?
A lens' Base refers to the amount of arc in the lens and therefore the arc in the frame. A 6-Base has a more flat, square shape creating a more scholarly look. A larger base, like a 9-Base, is more wrapped and therefore will appear more suited for active endeavors.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Political Issues' started by Ruble Noon, Aug 1, 2012.
Well, y'know they wanna get credit for naming those PO's before they close 'em ....
This is the problem with the USPS. Every cluster of houses with a politician willing to drop pork in his district to get elected hits him up to name a PO for some dude nobody gives a **** about 10 miles from the building. They need to start closing a lot of rural and even some suburban POs. Then drop Sat delivery. It might even be worthwhile to drop processing down to M-F, 9-5. If you want it faster go to FedEx or UPS.
"But USPS can't cut delivery without Congressional approval, and partisan disagreements over whether Congress should take control of USPS's operations until it is solvent again or if it should leave the decision making to the postmaster general have halted any action on Capitol Hill."
Congress taking control of the post office? Yeah..there is a great idea...
"The Postal Service has pleaded with Congress for years to end the requirement that it pre-fund its retiree's health benefits. But many lawmakers claim that because USPS has such a massive workforce - there are 614,000 Postal Service employees-if it does not pre-fund retirement benefits, it will not be able to pay them in the future"
The problem isn't the prefunding requirement...the problem is the retiree's health benefits they pay for in the first place.
Pensions and retiree health packages are crippling every city and state in this country. I forget the name, but the city in California which just filed bankrutpcy said its main culpret was the fact the city council voted in (for itself as well mind you) FREE FULL medical coverage for life?
But the biggest problem with the USPS is simple: its an outdated business model providing a service which is the equivalent of selling tape players. Sure, I still have a box of old cassette tapes somewhere - but I haven't looked at them in decades.
I think I will do an experiment for this month and see exactly how many pieces of mail I get which aren't junk or couldn't be delivered via email. I bet its less than 5

THREE IN A ROSE: While Camila Alves was turning heads at Lela Rose Sunday. Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell said she will travel to Brazil and Ireland (to do a little genealogy) before season-three filming starts up in April. Mitchell favors designer who consider women with curves like hers. Aware that ultraskinny models have been a controversy in the past, she preferred to keep her opinion on that matter to herself.
Another attendee, Jenna Bush, has become more outspoken as a Today show correspondent. She recently interviewed Taylor Swift, who is also coming into her own. The former First Daughter said she was surprised by the singer's maturity and how she is cultivating her image. "One of the things she said to me was that she is not going to be the kind of musician who runs around in a bra on stage to declare she is a woman," Bush said. "she is a really good role model for young women."
Bush (whose bridesmaids dresses were designed by Rose) still hopes to get her Master's and return to teaching. But she is having a ball at NBC and will help cover the Olympics this summer.

5 Best VPNs when using Tor
Although in many ways very different, both VPNs and the Tor anonymity network use encrypted proxy connections in order to hide users' identities (VPN is useful for much more than this, but privacy is a core feature of the technology).
- VPN is faster than Tor, and is suitable for P2P downloading. The major downside (and reason VPN is said to provide privacy rather than anonymity) is that it requires you trust your VPN provider. This is because, should it wish to (or is compelled to), your VPN provider can "see" what you get up to on the internet. VPN also allows you to easily spoof your geographic location.
- Tor is much slower, is often blocked by websites, and is not suitable for P2P, but it does not require that you trust anybody, and is therefore much more truly anonymous.
The cool thing is that VPN and Tor can be used together in order provide an extra layer of security, and to mitigate some of the drawbacks of using either technology exclusively.
The main downside of doing this is that using both VPN and Tor together combines the speed hit of both technologies, making connecting in this way secure… but slow.
It is also important to understand the difference between connecting to Tor through VPN and connecting to VPN through Tor. We discuss this in detail later in this article.

- No logs at all
- VPN through Tor
- Transparent service
- Accepts Bitcoin
- P2P: yes
- Techiness does put people off
- Customer support could be better
- Limited number of servers worldwide
This Italian provider offers among the best security and anti-censorship technology available on the web, allowing both SSH and SSL tunneling to evade government blocks. Add in no logs, some of the strongest encryption around, and a Windows, Mac OSX and Linux client with built-in DNS leak protection and kill switch, and AirVPN should be on the top of every privacy fanatic's wish list.
In keeping with its usual technical excellence, AirVPN is one of the only two VPN providers I know of to offer VPN through Tor (plus it provides instructions for connecting Tor through VPN using the Tor Browser). The main problem with AirVPN is that its service is definitely aimed at techies, which despite initial interest does appear to put many of our readers off.
Additional features: Real-time user and server statistics, VPN through SSL and SSH tunnels, very reliable, open source client with internet kill switch and DNS leak protection, 3-day free trial, dynamic port forwarding, 3 simultaneous connections
2nd place
- No logs at all
- VPN through Tor
- Client with VPN kills switch and DNS leak protection
- Accepts Bitcoin
- SmartDNS included
- Could be more user-friendly
Based at an off-shore location somewhere off Malaysian coast, this provider offers 'xCloak' servers designed bypass government censorship. BolehVPN has a logs at all policy, that it now uses excellent encryption, allows P2P downloading, and has great connection speeds. The Windows and OSX client is also very funky, and features a VPN kill switch and DNS leak protection. The fact that BolehVPN throws in a SmartDNS services for free is also great.
Like AirVPN, BolehVPN offers VPN over Tor, allowing for true anonymity while online, and provides instructions for connecting Tor through VPN using the Tor Browser. Also like AirVPN, it is a little consumer-unfriendly and assumes a level of technical know-how from users that may not be to everyone's tastes.
Additional features: P2P: yes, 2 simultaneous connections, "xCloak" servers.
3rd place
- No logs
- Based in Panama
- Accepts Bitcoin payment
- Tor over VPN
- 2 simultaneous connections
- Can be very slow
Based in Panama, NordVPN has a 'no logs at all' policy, uses strong encryption, and accepts anonymous payment using Bitcoin. It also supports Tor through VPN via one of its OpenVPN configuration file. The main advantage of this over simply using the Tor browser with the VPN connected is that all your internet traffic is routed Tor through VPN rather than just that of the Tor Browser.
Although it scores very well in terms of privacy and security, NordVPN is somewhat let down by poor speed performance, which is a shame, as it is otherwise a very good service.
4th place
- No logs
- Tor through VPN
- Accepts Bitcoin
- Android app
- Cheap
- Slow
- No custom desktop client
This Czech-based provider is notable for being very wallet-friendly, but is otherwise fairly barebones (for example it has no custom desktop VPN client, although it does have a promising Android app with secure email and chat built-in). Privatoria's speed performance is a little underwhelming, but it makes up for this somewhat by keeping no logs and accepting Bitcoin payments (and did I mention that it's cheap!) Like NordVPN, Privatoria lets you route your entire internet connection Tor through VPN via an .ovpn configuration file.
Additional features: 3 simultaneous connections, P2P: yes (on most servers).
5th place
- Tor through VPN
- Tor "hybrid mode" (insecure)
- Cheap
- Strong encryption
- Dynamic port forwarding
- Based in UK (legally)
- Extensive connection logs
- P2P: no
- No custom software
Although it operates out of Hungary, TorVPN is based in the UK, and is therefore required to keep quite extensive connection logs. It does, however, use excellent encryption, and is very cheap. Interestingly, in addition to offering "regular" Tor through VPN (similar to NordVPN and Privatoria), TorVPN offers a hybrid node that allows you to access .onion websites using its own Tor DNS server. Even TorVPN, however, freely admits this is very insecure!
Visit TorVPN »
As we can see above, there are two main ways to go about using VPN and Tor together. You can connect to your VPN then route the connection through the Tor network (Tor through VPN), or you can connect to the Tor network before routing your connection through your VPN.
Tor through VPN
In this configuration you connect first to your VPN server, and then to the Tor network before accessing the internet:
Your computer -> VPN -> Tor -> internet
Although some of the providers listed above offer to make such a setup easy, this is also what happens when you use the Tor Browser or Whonix (for maximum security) while connected to a VPN server, and means that your apparent IP on the internet is that of the Tor exit node.
- Your ISP will not know that you are using Tor (although it can know that you are using VPN)
- The Tor entry node will not see your true IP address, but the IP address of the VPN server. If you use a good no-logs provider this can provide a meaningful additional layer of security
- Allows access to Tor hidden services (.onion websites).
- Your VPN provider knows your real IP address
- No protection from malicious Tor exit nodes. Non-SSL traffic entering and leaving Tor exit nodes is unencrypted and could be monitored
- Tor exit nodes are often blocked
- We should note that using a Tor bridge such as Obfsproxy can also be effective at hiding Tor use from your ISP (although a determined ISP could in theory use deep packet inspection to detect Tor traffic).
Important note: NordVPN, Privatoria and TorVPN offer VPN through Tor via an OpenVPN configuration file (which transparently routes your data from OpenVPN to the Tor network). This means that your entire internet connection benefits from Tor through VPN.
Please be aware, however, that this is nowhere near as secure as using the Tor browser, where Tor encryption is performed by the Tor servers, and not on your desktop (as is the case with transparent proxies). It is also possible that with transparent proxies your provider could intercept traffic before it is encrypted by the Tor servers.
For maximum security when using Tor through VPN you should always use the Tor browser.
VPN through Tor
This involves connecting first to Tor, and then through a VPN server to the internet:
Your computer -> encrypt with VPN -> Tor -> VPN -> internet
This setup requires you to configure your VPN client to work with Tor, and the only VPN providers we know of to support this are AirVPN and BolehVPN. Your apparent IP on the internet is that of the VPN server.
- Because you connect to the VPN server through Tor, the VPN provider cannot 'see' your real IP address – only that of the Tor exit node. When combined with an anonymous payment method (such as properly mixed Bitcoins) made anonymously over Tor, this means the VPN provider has no way of identifying you, even if it did keep logs
- Protection from malicious Tor exit nodes, as data is encrypted by the VPN client before entering (and exiting) the Tor network (although the data is encrypted, your ISP will be able to see that it is heading towards a Tor node)
- Bypasses any blocks on Tor exit nodes
- Allows you to choose server location (great for geo-spoofing)
- All internet traffic is routed through Tor (even by programs that do not usually support it).
- Your VPN provider can see your internet traffic (but has no way to connect it to you)
- Slightly more vulnerable to global end-to-end timing attack as a fixed point in the chain exists (the VPN provider).
This configuration is usually regarded as more secure since it allows you to maintain complete (and true) anonymity. Remember that to maintain anonymity it is vital to always connect to the VPN through Tor (if using AirVPN or BolehVPN this is performed automatically once the client has been correctly configured). The same holds true when making payments or logging into a web-based user account.
Malicious exit nodes
When using Tor, the last exit node in the chain between your computer and open internet is called an exit node. Traffic to or from the open internet (Bob in the diagram below) exits and enters this node unencrypted. Unless some additional form of encryption is used (such as HTTPS), this means that anyone running the exit node can spy on users' internet traffic.
This is not usually a huge problem, as a user's identity is hidden by the 2 or more additional nodes that traffic passes through on its way to and from the exit node. If the unencrypted traffic contains personally identifiable information, however, this can be seen by the entity running the exit node.
Such nodes are referred to as malicious exit nodes, and have also been known to redirect users to fake websites.
SSL connections are encrypted, so if you connect to an SSL secured website (https://) your data will be secure, even it passes through a malicious exit node.
End-to-end timing attacks
This is a technique used to de-anonymize VPN and Tor users by correlating the time they were connected to the timing of otherwise anonymous behavior on the internet.
An incident where a Harvard bomb-threat idiot got caught while using Tor is a great example of this form of de-anonymization attack in action, but it is worth noting that the culprit was only caught because he connected to Tor through the Harvard campus WiFi network.
On a global scale, pulling off a successful e2e attack against a Tor user would be a monumental undertaking, but possibly not impossible for the likes of the NSA, who are suspected of running a high percentage of all the world public Tor exit nodes.
If such an attack (or other de-anonymization tactic) is made against you while using Tor, then using VPN as well will provide an additional layer of security.
So which is better?
VPN through Tor is usually considered more secure because (if the correct precautions are taken) it allows true anonymity – not even your VPN provider knows who you are. It also provides protection against malicious Tor exit nodes, and allows you to evade censorship via blocks on Tor exit nodes.
You should be aware, however, that if an adversary can compromise your VPN provider, then it controls one end of the Tor chain. Over time, this may allow the adversary to pull off an end-to-end timing or other de-anonymization attack. Any such attack would be very hard to perform, and if the provider keeps logs it cannot be performed retrospectively, but this is a point the Edward Snowden's of the world should consider.
Tor through VPN means that your VPN provider knows who you are, although as with VPN through Tor, using a trustworthy provider who keeps no logs will provide a great deal of retrospective protection.
Tor through VPN provides no protection against malicious exit nodes and is still subject to censorship measures that target Tor users, but does mean that your VPN provider cannot see your internet traffic content…
Whichever configuration you choose, combining VPN and Tor will improve your privacy and security, and goes some way towards addressing weakness in using either technology as a stand-alone solution.
I do, however, encourage any user who requires a very high level of security to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of each setup in relation to their particular needs. Under most circumstances, for example, using VPN through Tor provides almost perfect anonymity, but the fact that the VPN acts as a fixed end-point for Tor does mean that under some circumstances such a setup could potentially become a liability.
It is also worth remembering that any VPN user can run Tor through VPN simply by running the Tor Browser after their VPN connection has been established (and this is more secure than using the transparent proxy method offered by NordVPN, Privatoria and TorVPN).

Griffin Beacon Universal Remote Control (w/ Dijit App) Review
- Control any combination of more than 200,000 components - TV, stereo, Blu-ray, DVD, DVR and more
- Find your favorite shows and movies, discover new shows, then watch with just a tap.
- Infrared and Bluetooth connectivity
- Watching gets social; share, rate and review shows with family and friends.
- Customize your remote to control multiple components from one screen.
- Manage your Netflix Instant Queue and find new movies to watch.
- Small form factor; similar in size to the AppleTV
- Easy to place since it does not require a wall outlet (uses AA batteries)
What We Liked:
- Easy Setup: On the Beacon side, you just insert the batteries and hold down the big button on top to put it in pairing mode. On the Dijit app side, a wizard walks you through the detection of the Beacon and set up for your local TV provider and components. To create a new remote for a device in your entertainment center, you just select the company name from the drop-down list, and then try the test button. For both devices we tried (Vizio television and Comcast cable box), the first test was successful. This can all be done in a matter of minutes, and we really liked how sparse the packaging and contents of the box were.
- 180 Degree View: Since being able to control your devices is exactly what the Beacon claims to do, it was great to see that their IR emitter had a very generous range. This is quite important, since many people don't have all their devices in the same exact place. We were easily able to find a place for the Beacon that gave it line of sight to all of our components.
- Portability: Although somewhat of a double-edged sword, the decision to use AA batteries to power the Beacon does give it the added benefit of being able to be placed anywhere. We could imagine having a lot more difficulty setting up the Beacon's location if we needed to be near an outlet. That said, we still lament the fact that we will need new batteries every couple months, so if you haven't done so already, make sure you are using rechargeable batteries. As an added bonus, you can see the remaining battery life via the Dijit app, as well as set up different 'Rooms' for when you want to move the Beacon into a different room of your house.
- Search and Filtering: The Beacon did a fine job of controlling our devices, but it can do much more. Through the Dijit app, you can search all of your TV listings, or you can sort them by genre. The results are displayed in chronological order, and switching to them is as simple as tapping once. You can set favorites as well, and share your likes and dislikes via social networking. One way the search and filtering could be improved would be by having some sort of way to limit the results to only the channels you receive. We clicked on several shows that turned out to be on channels we were not subscribed to.
What We Didn't Like:
- Bluetooth Pairing Problems: We aren't sure if it is due to the sleep function or not, but there were several times that we came back to use the Beacon, and even though our iPhone showed that it was connected, we were not. Getting it reconnected finally involved us turning our iPhone off and back on. Unfortunately, after the 3rd day of having these connectivity issues, the Beacon became unresponsive, and after contacting technical support, found out that it had been bricked and would need to be sent in. The replacement unit worked fine, but there were still some issues with connecting and reconnecting.
- Placement Can Be Awkward: Placement can be a little tricky due to the fact that different devices may be on different levels, and have various angles blocked off. With this in mind, the coffee table may be the best location for the Beacon. Keep this in mind if you don't think you want it there, although you probably have remotes there right now. In our setup, we actually didn't have a coffee table, and put the Beacon on a shelf of to the side of the room. To our surprise, the Beacon was able to operate perfectly from this location.
- No RF Control: Just a caveat.
- Confusing Compatibility: Considering that the underlying technology to connect the Beacon with our smartphone is Bluetooth, it's a little confusing that there would be separate Beacon devices for each operating system. Unfortunately that is the case, so make sure you get the correct model for your phone or tablet, and hope that everyone in your house is on the same mobile operating system.
Our Verdict:
Does this product work as stated? Well, despite the Bluetooth issues, pretty much. Do I feel like I will be using it in the future? Probably not. Maybe I just watch too much TV and know what's on and when it's on, but the search and filter features weren't exceptionally helpful. Also, using a regular remote can be quicker and easier to use without looking down. That's not to say that this couldn't be a useful product for someone who wants to be able to control a bunch of components from one device, or who really doesn't know what they want to watch, or what channels those shows are on. Ultimately, the Bluetooth connectivity issues keep us from fully recommending this product, which is a shame since it executes so well in all other regards.
Our Score: 3 out of 5

How to perform 301 redirection from a plugin?
I need to perform 301 HTTP redirection from a plugin (named here my_redirect). The code that performs that looks like
function my_redirect() {
// …
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/$path/");
// …
However, what I receive is the page entitled "200 OK" and text looking like
The document has moved here.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at example.com Port 80
The link "here" directs to the page specified at Location header.
Is it possible to perform an actual 301/302/whatever redirection?
Update: I noticed that the following headers are actually sent:
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:46:06 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_gzip/22.214.171.124a mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/220.127.116.1135 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8b
Cache-Control: no-cache
Location: http://example.com/somepath/
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Is it possible to completely turn off sending headers from other TP code when exit() is called?
The attempt to redirect is made by placing at the very start of a page template the string
<txp:my_redirect deflan="ru" />
But even if I make the above string the only content of the default page, the mentioned headers are sent anyway.
An advice is strongly required on how to prevent other headers from being sent.

#opBART Second Protest: Arrests Made, Journalists Detained, Police Use Batons on Protesters
OpBART began the week with another protest at San Francisco BART stations and myBART.org being taken offline to protest the shut off cellphone service on BART out of fear of a demonstration against the shooting of a homeless man by BART police, the second fatal shooting by BART officers in two years. There was a high turn out of both BART police and SFPD in riot gear, and from photos and video there appeared to be five officers to every protester.
According to SF Appeal, the majority of protestors did not wear Guy Fawkes masks, though some were barely clad. Civic Street Station was closed, and police arrested a man and a woman at the Civic Center station.
San Francisco Bay Guardian reported:
As a few protesters began to gather, surrounded by dozens of riot police and media, a uniformed BART police officer told a young African American man he would be arrested if he raised his voice. Chanting began in response among the small pack of protesters, and the man was promptly arrested by BART police.
As he was being led off the platform by police, a woman who stood in the center of the platform began verbally engaging a BART officer, saying, "BART police need to be reformed. Make BART Safe. Make BART safe." She was apparently arrested for nothing more then her words. Deputy BART Police Chief Daniel Hartwig said he could not provide any information about what the arrestees would be charged with.
The SFBG video of arrest is here.
The crowd, estimated between 80-100, outnumbered by police, moved up and down Market Street. Powell Street Station was opened and closed then opened again. The Ferry Building was closed to prevent protesters from entering. Firecrackers were thrown at the police, and some hooligans pounded on the windows of closed shops. Protesters keep in touch via Twitter.
The crowd chanted
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
as they stood in front the cops. The photo above, of her friend risking a photo, was taken by Vivian Ho who posted it to the #opBART twitter feed. Other video of march here and here.
4th and Market. Group trying to start fire. Throwing Firecrackers at Police and Crowd? #OPBART-RadioRelayKEEP IT PEACEFUL. WATCH FOR THOSE THAT TRY TO MAKE IT VIOLENT #opBART
This one's simple: Last week Bay Area Rapid Transit shut off cell service to stifle protests of a killing by transit police. We've seen officials across the globe threaten and take similar actions: from dictators trying to cling to power in the Middle East, to Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, to Joe Lieberman and his Internet Kill Switch legislation.
It's time to draw a line in the sand: Please sign our petition condemning BART, encouraging the Federal Communications Commission to investigate, and warning other public agencies that we won't tolerate censorship.
Most were cited for failing to disperse or illegally blocking traffic. Police spokesman Albie Esparza said no vandalism was reported in connection with the demonstration, but police did confiscate a hammer from one demonstrator.

Power Integrity Analysis for Billion Transistor Full-Custom Designs
Post a comment
Tackling Power Integrity in FPGA Custom Designs
The tools and flows available to support power integrity analysis in the context of an ASIC development flow are well defined and proven. However, designs such as advanced FPGA devices that are typically implemented using a full-custom approach in latest process technology supporting wirebond or flipchip packaging, pose some significant challenges that warrant special attention and flow modifications. For example, a one billion-transistor custom design with a die size in excess of 20mm per side has specific requirements that constrain the type of analysis that is possible. These requirements must be satisfied and used to drive the overall analysis approach.
Design Characteristics
Full-custom FPGA designs typically have a small number of different block types, many identical block instances are replicated within the design. Abutment enables connectivity between the blocks. This means that the power network is very complex, with approximately 600 power pins per block, and some blocks using more than 6000 power pins. This level of complexity places demands on the capabilities of the analysis tools far beyond most ASIC design projects.
Analysis Goals
Typically, design teams do not have access to unlimited compute resources, thus the ability to perform analysis within a reasonable run time using high-end, yet standard computers is essential. The ability to model a one billion transistor design in the main memory of a 64-bit machine (supporting 60 GB of memory) supports this goal. Typically, design teams want to validate the results within 12 hours or less. Fast turnaround time for incremental changes is also an important benefit.
The second key requirement is accuracy. In general, designers will have established an acceptable error margin, comparing the analysis output with the silicon. A typical target is achieving results from the voltage drop analysis that are within 10% of the measured silicon.
The full-custom nature of the design means that there are no standard cells and the models required to support voltage drop analysis with the analysis tool have to be generated separately. However, the objective of any design flow is ease of adoption and use. In general, any modeling conducted within the context of a custom design should also provide a simple representation of complex behavior that enables faster analysis.
Model Support in Rail Analysis Applications
Rail analysis tools that support ASIC as well as FPGA full-custom designs support various, flexible modeling approaches (Figure 2).
- White Box Model
This approach models the entire connectivity of the power network in a block, while providing voltage drop results on every node inside the block. Because of this, white box models are preferred for sign-off purposes. However, the size of the network is directly proportional to the complexity of the power network of the block. In general, white box models require more memory than other modeling approaches in exchange for higher accuracy and the ability to calculate voltage drop/EM at any point of the design.
- Gray Box Model
Gray box model describes the behavior of block power grid with transconductance, i.e., the resistance between its ports and currents at the ports. It is an equivalent circuit representation of the white box model that enables rail analysis to be performed at the same level of accuracy for the power grid where it is employed. The size of the model increases quadratically with the number of ports, therefore if used intelligently, it provides a smaller matrix size. A gray box has the drawback of only calculating voltage drop/EM at its ports.
Overall, white box modeling provides higher accuracy while gray box models reduce the memory consumption for voltage analysis. Given the characteristics of an FPGA design, the key question remains, which modeling approach is best suited to a billion-transistor power network analysis? The answer depends on the characteristics of the design and the analysis trade-offs.
Model Optimization
A flat full-chip analysis using white box modeling requires much more computer memory to perform a power integrity analysis. For example, a full-chip analysis of a one billion transistor design requires approximately 300 GB of main memory. The favored strategy would be using a hierarchical approach with gray box models for improved memory efficiency.
However, billion transistor full-custom designs may contain a huge number of ports, which can also impact the memory required for gray box modeling. Consequently, further modeling optimization may be required to manage the memory consumption. Advanced rail analysis tools use specific data reduction techniques for various applications to decrease memory demands while delivering high accuracy. A similar memory reduction technique for FPGA designs is outlined below.

Serial murderers generate an abundance of public interest, media coverage, and law enforcement attention, yet after decades of studies, serial murder researchers have been unable to answer the most important question: Why? Providing a unique and comprehensive exploration, Creating Cultural Monsters: Serial Murder in America explains connections between American culture and the incidence of serial murder, including reasons why most identified serial murderers are white, male Americans. It describes the omnipresence of serial murder in American media and investigates what it would take to decrease its occurrence.
Presenting empirically supported arguments that have the potential to revolutionize how serial murder is understood, studied, and investigated, this volume:
Places the serial murder phenomenon in a cultural context, promoting qualitative understanding and the potential for reducing its frequency
Drawn from years of dedicated research of Dr. Julie B. Wiest, this volume presents a new approach to the study of U.S. serial murder, offers important implications for law enforcement and mass media, and forms a basis for future research on serial murder, murder, and violence in the U.S. and in other nations.

One man was rescued Monday morning after a single-family home partially collapsed on Chicago's South Side.
Fire officials were called Monday morning to a single-family home at East Kensington and South Prairie avenues. The building apparently was under renovation when the walls gave way and the roof collapsed on two workers.
One worker managed to get out and call 911, fire officials said. The second man was left with no way out as the roof fell onto the porch and stairs being used for access. He was rescued by crews and transported to Christ Hospital with minor injuries.
The fire department said the medic who treated the man described him as being "in very good shape."

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect J.R. Graham did what all prospects visualize doing in their first full season of pro ball.
Graham made a name for himself by fast-tracking to Double-A in his first full season. After getting drafted in the fourth round of the 2011 draft out of Santa Clara University, Graham threw 57.2 innings for Rookie League Danville to end the 2011 season.
In 2012, Graham recorded a 2.63 ERA with 68 strikeouts to 17 walks in 102.2 innings for Class-A Advanced Lynchburg before moving to Double-A Mississippi, where he finished with a 3.18 ERA, 42 strikeouts and 17 walks in 45.1 innings for the Mississippi team.
The 23-year-old right-hander wasn't found near the top of most prospect lists entering the 2012 season, but by the time the year ended, his name was constantly mentioned in prospect talks. He enters the 2013 season ranked No. 2 on Baseball America's Top 10 Braves prospects.
"The Braves did a great job of easing me into a starting role, and I just ran with it," Graham said. "It went well, the season went well. I couldn't have asked for much more. We're just trying to build off that now."
As is often the case with pitching prospects developing into starters, the use of a quality third pitch is crucial. Graham sat 93-96 miles per hour on his fastball for much of the season, along with a biting slider in the mid-80s. The development of a changeup was the big question mark.
"(The changeup) feels good," he said. "I worked on it all year. I changed a couple grips but finally found one that was comfortable. I've been working on it hard, and I feel really comfortable with it. I feel I have three really good pitches now."
Graham is listed at 6-0, 180 pounds with reports saying he's an athletic pitcher who can handle the durability test of starting. But he said he still has work to do acclimating his body to the job.
"(Starting) helped me develop that third pitch," he said. "Physically, I still need to adapt to that longer season and daily grind."
Graham will be with the big league camp in Spring Training. From there, he will either return to Double-A or begin 2013 at Triple-A Gwinnett.

VISITORS steamed into the past and relived some great memories at the Isleport Steam and Vintage Working Show at the weekend.
The event, which included nostalgia and fun for all the family, was organised to be suitable for all ages by a dedicated team of enthusiasts.
The aim of the event, at Isleport Farm, Highbridge, was to preserve the classic sight of vintage steam, agricultural and other nostalgic vehicles no longer in daily use in our fields or on our roads.
Exhibits included commercial vehicles, classic cars, tractors, steam engines, motorbikes, stationary engines and military vehicles.
There were also impressive examples of tractor pulling and a popular motor sport competition which enthusiasts said is the most powerful in the world with some tractors sporting aeroplane engines boasting 3,000 brake horse power or more.

I guess I know him a bit better than you do. Im defending him against your statement of accusing him as "known wintrader", which he obviously is not. Scamming and Wintrading are two completely different things. Just because he has done one of them, does not mean he has done the other aswell.
Who gives a shit?
Even if he's guilty of "just" the scamming part it still makes him a fucking rat.
Now take his shaft out of your mouth.

Jewelweed grows in moist, shady areas. Leaves have scalloped edges.
Scott Sudkamp, Missouri Department of Conservation
The common name "touch-me-not" comes from the tendency of ripe seedpods to pop open and shatter at the slightest touch. Quail readily consume these seeds when available. Jewelweed's distinctive, yellow-orange flower resembles a cornucopia.
Scott Sudkamp, Missouri Department of Conservation
A ripe seedpod.
An exploded seedpod.
Jewelweeds are annual plants commonly found in moist, shaded areas such as stream corridors. They commonly reach 18-24 inches. Leaves have scalloped edges and fleshy stems that exude a clear, watery gel-like liquid when crushed. Flowers are orange (I. capensis) or pale yellow (I. pallida). The name "touch-me-not" comes from the tendency of the ripe seedpods to snap open and throw seeds at a slight touch. Between the two species, jewelweeds can be found throughout most of the Midwest.
May to October
Jewelweed seeds were often found in the diets of bobwhites studied in southern Illinois during the 1950s, and in Missouri quail crops collected in the 1940s. Plants may serve as good brood habitat as well, and their structure and association with moist, cool soils offers bobwhites refuge from summer heat.

Key meeting to address poaching threat in Central Africa
30th March 2012—The U.S. embassies of Gabon and the Central African Republic are hosting a workshop April 3-5, 2012, in Libreville, Gabon, in response to the growing threat of poaching and trafficking of protected and endangered species.
Participants will include law enforcement and government officials plus representatives of environmental organizations from Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Chad, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Equatorial Guinea.
The meeting takes place a few weeks following poaching of elephants in Bouba N'Djida National Park, northern Cameroon on an unprecedented scale. Several hundred of the estimated 600 elephants living in the park were killed by poachers believed to originate from Sudan who entered Cameroon illegally through neighbouring Chad. The government of Cameroon responded by sending in troops to restore law and order in the park.
The Libreville meeting is regarded as an important step towards creating stronger local and regional approaches and collaborative platforms to combat wildlife poaching and trafficking and will aim to create an opportunity for Central Africa to establish a regional wildlife enforcement network, along the lines of those currently existing or being established in South-East Asia, South Asia, and Central America.
The Department of State has been at the forefront of international efforts to develop global partnerships to dismantle transnational networks in the illegal trade of wildlife.
In 2005, the Department launched CAWT and, in July 2011, the White House released the President's National Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime and Converging Threats to National Security, which highlighted environmental crimes among the top five most lucrative criminal activities.

l kept it simple: The Shtetl: smoked sable, goat cream cheese, bialy [fresh from Kossar's], capers, tomato, red onion. The sable was sublime, absolutely melting in the mouth. The service was very nice. The menu has a lot of items, both food and drink, that look very interesting and enticing. The place has the ambiance of a more warmly-lit Russ-of-Houston St.
l went at about 4:30, and was seated immediately. Starting next week they start opening at 8am [!]. l barely scratched the surface of the menu [didn't even try an egg cream], but something tells me they've just hit it out of the park. More power to 'em, and more smoked and brined delights for me!
lt only took a hundred years, but damn, it was worth the wait.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lamb' started by jakob, Jul 26, 2013.
I wonder if there is anyone who has any good recipes for smoked rack of lamb
I tend to stick to the same recipes I would use in an oven but smoke them. I don't like a BBQ rub on lamb I like fresh garlic, rosemary, mint, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, red chillies, and a good kalamata olive processed into a paste then rubbed on the meat. Wrap in plastic wrap and let marinate over night. Smoke at 200F until 135F-140F for medium rare. Longer if you want it cooked more.
Make sure to let it come to room temp before smoking. Maybe 2 hours or so on the counter. Let it rest 30 min after smoking before slicing. And always serve with tzatziki sauce!
Thanks, that sounds like great advice! I need to try smoking lamb, haven't done that yet.
And, I love Tzatziki!
Thanks I'll try that
Sorry I don't have measurements. I never work on any measurement.
That's why nobody has ever asked me to bake a cake!
Weber dot com has some great recipes. Their rack of lamb with orange-pomegranate syrup looks wonderful!
What's everyone's opinion on the type of wood to use with lamb?
Lamb you wanna use some fruit woods cherry, apple, etc. You dont want to over power the lamb with a heavy wood. I make a simple but very garlicy pesto, and marinade overnight. throw right on a 225* grill. very tastey.
Here is my lamb I did last christmas
Snorklinggirl (Clarissa) also does alot of lamb, if you search rack of lamb in the search bar, you should see some of hers and others smoked lamb
Hope it helps

In February 2005, Pres. Bingu wa Mutharika resigned from Malawi's ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) to form the Democratic Progressive Party. He said that he had done so to preserve the integrity of his office in light of the corruption among members of his government. The UDF called for the impeachment of the president for quitting the party that had sponsored him. Debate on the proposal was adjourned after the unexpected death of the speaker of the parliament on June 27. Nevertheless, demonstrations for and against impeachment grew more violent, leading to the suspension of the parliament on October 24 and the arrest of three UDF members of the parliament who were among the fiercest critics of the president.
Early in the year an IMF team praised the government for its control of public spending and the president for his campaign against corruption. Opposition in the parliament to the contents of the budget delayed its approval, however, until local protest and UN pressure persuaded the government to make concessions that averted the prospect of a holdup in securing debt relief. In October the donor community expressed its concern over the impact of the impeachment proceedings on a country suffering from an acute food crisis, an intervention that opposition leaders regarded as an unwelcome interference in Malawi's internal affairs.

1) Douching can make odor and discharge worse. Ironic, since these are the most common reasons women douche in the first place. If you have an infection, douching promotes even more bacterial growth, so you wind up feeling worse than when you started.
2) Douching can't prevent STDs. It doesn't clean out the harmful bacteria, just washes away the good ones, which actually increases your risk of infection.
3) Douching may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. It pushes the bacteria into your uterus, where they can travel to your tubes and wreck great havoc. Women who douche have over a 70% greater risk of PID compared with women who don't.
4) Douching is not effective birth control. In fact, it just lets more sperm surf their way into your cervix. But, I don't have to tell YOU that, right?
5) Douching may cause ectopic pregnancy. And while the sperm are surfing north, they've got a straight shot for your tubes, giving you a 75% higher chance of having a pregnancy land there.
Don't get swayed by product-pushers who imply that you need their chemicals up your wahoo to be healthy. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, when left alone to do her thing.

Only three months ago, Laurence Tisch, 63, was being toasted as a hero at the Manhattan headquarters of powerful CBS. The billionaire chairman of Loews had suddenly emerged, to resounding cheers, as the No. 2 network's acting chief executive officer, after a dramatic boardroom confrontation with Ousted Chairman Thomas Wyman, 57. Many CBS employees hoped that the changeover, which also brought back Network Founder William Paley, 85, as acting chairman, would mark the onset of a new golden age for the tradition-minded broadcasting giant and the end of months of upheaval and austerity. CBS, exulted 60 Minutes Correspondent Morley Safer, was...

At Table No. 3, Lunch With a Side of Schmooze
By ERIC KONIGSBERG
Published: May 22, 2008
Joe Armstrong, who is otherwise known as the Mayor of Michael's, took his usual perch at Table No. 3 on Tuesday as the suits began filling the room.
Michael's, the restaurant on West 55th Street that has functioned as the expense-account lunchroom for a particular class of television and publishing executives for 10 years now, was humming. This pleased Mr. Armstrong, who knew just about everyone there, to no end.
''Lunch is life,'' he said.
Charlie Rose sat at Table No. 1, in front of the bay window. ''Charlie Rose!'' Mr. Armstrong said. The two men waved.
Linda Janklow, a philanthropist who is married to the literary agent Mort Janklow, sat at Table No. 2 -- though not before coming to greet Mr. Armstrong. Alice Mayhew, the editorial director of Simon & Schuster, was two tables over. And just behind her, Lesley Stahl of ''60 Minutes'' waited for her lunch date, Ed Rollins, the Republican political consultant.
''Hello, big Ed,'' Mr. Armstrong said.
Mr. Armstrong, 64, has been on sabbatical the last two years from ABC News, which employed him as an adviser and charged him with using his king-size Rolodex to strategically position various programs. ''It's marketing, basically,'' Mr. Armstrong said, and you suspect that he could do half of his work without leaving the table and a third more by accepting dinner party invitations.
He knows so many people because he has lived in New York for 40 years -- he comes from Abilene, Tex. -- and held jobs as the publisher of Rolling Stone and Saveur, the publisher and editor in chief of New York and New West magazines, and other business-side gigs starting up or repositioning USA Today, Talk Miramax Books, Harper's Bazaar, Travel and Leisure, and Town and Country.
For many years before her death, he squired Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to events and had lunch with her at least once a week.
Carly Simon was once quoted as calling him ''probably the most loved person in New York.''
Although he is thinking of returning to ABC, Mr. Armstrong has spent much of the past two years living on his savings and doing charitable work -- in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity, in Cuba with St. Bartholomew's Church and in Connecticut as a cabin counselor at Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camp (for terminally ill children).
And two or three times a week he still puts on a sport jacket and takes his lunch at Michael's.
He came by his mayoral title and his anchor table -- which, when he is eating there, comes with a bud vase fashioned out of a little ceramic cowboy boot signed, over the years, by Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett and Fats Domino -- in 2002. That was when he put together a lunch to honor his friend Robin Williams and invited Billy Crystal, Ann W. Richards, Liz Smith, Diane Sawyer and Bill Clinton.
''Somebody from one of the tabloids showed up and pulled a camera out of his coat,'' Mr. Armstrong said. ''It could've been a gun. I said, 'Mr. President, doesn't that make you uncomfortable?' He was looking at somebody else's table. He said, 'Can I get a plate of those French fries?' ''
George Stephanopoulos, who also happened to be at Michael's that day and had not spoken to Mr. Clinton since writing critically of him in his White House memoir, ''All Too Human,'' came by to tap the former president on the shoulder and tell him he had just gotten married. ''Clinton said, 'Well, are you happy?' '' Mr. Armstrong recalled. He added, ''That ended the Cold War.''
Since that time, Mr. Armstrong has organized single-table power-brokering lunches for Mel Brooks, Eric Idle, Elton John, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Tina Brown, Elizabeth Edwards and, last Thursday, Lance Armstrong.
''Elizabeth Edwards is amazing,'' he said. ''Lance says her cancer's not good.''
On Tuesday, four women at another table (No. 6) took turns stopping by to genuflect to Joe Armstrong. ''Did you see this?'' he said to one of them, pointing out a newspaper story about a United States senator. (When she was possibly out of earshot, he explained that the woman used to date the senator.)
There were additional cameos -- from Wendy Luers, Christopher Buckley (''My buddy!) and Vartan Gregorian.
''Var-TANG,'' Mr. Armstrong said. ''Hey!''
Mr. Gregorian shook his hand warmly and said something about Mr. Armstrong's being a Texan, ''the only honest one.''
''Now that's funny,'' Mr. Armstrong said. ''Well, thank you. Thank you very much.''

SHERWOOD, Ore. (AP) — Sherwood police said a man defending his own dog fatally stabbed an attacking pit bull.
Police said Aaron Shields told officers the attacking dog bit both him and his pet as they left their house Tuesday morning.
He said he tried to stop the attack but couldn't, so he retreated to the house, grabbed a knife, tried again unsuccessfully to stop the pit bull and finally stabbed it until it stopped.
Shields was treated at the hospital, his dog by a veterinarian.
The pit bull's owner, Jeremy Scott of Sherwood, was cited for having a dangerous dog. Police said the fine could be up to $500.

We have all heard the old adage, "if walls could only talk.... " Perhaps in music they do! Almost everyone has heard the classic Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven," or at least one cut off Prince's Purple Rain release. No! What about James Taylor's Sweet Baby James? OK, the Who, Elton John, The Doors and for a more current name, what about Beck's Odelay? My point is that all of these artists have recorded at Sunset Sound Studios and we have been hearing those four wall influence and reverberate in the music for many years. Guitarist and composer Anthony Wilson recently added his vibrations to those walls while recording his new release entitled, Power of Nine.
Wilson, probably best know for his accompaniment and solo's on Diana Krall's CDs and DVDs, is also an accomplished composer and arranger. Wilson won the Thelonious Monk International Composers' Composition in 1995 and has been commissioned to compose works by the Gil Evans Fellowship from the International Association of Jazz Educators, Kuumbwa Jazz Center and Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Wilson includes selections from those commissions with the addition of some new compositions paired with two standards to total the 11 selections contained on Power of Nine. Diana Krall provides the vocals for a beautiful arrangement of "Looking Back," again displaying her prowess as a balladeer.
The CD is full of rich thematic developments and beautiful voiced ensemble colors, bringing to mind the colors of Gil Evans and Maria Schneider. "Make It Good" is perhaps the most traditional selection, with Wilson providing the arrangement and some nice "Freddie Green" chunking. This selection has a more Bob Brookmeyer, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis flavor than the rest of the selections and does a nice job of easing the listener into the program. "I And Thou," from Tokyo Wednesday, one of the movements from the commission written for The Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, California, features an intro of Wilson's rich clear unaccompanied guitar leading to an introspective ballad that is full of gorgeous ensemble colors and thoughtful space. Wilson's "Quadra 3" contains some very nice improvised lines from mandolinist Eva Scow and Wilson as the two trade 16's in the beginning and again later in the piece after Wilson has craftily flowed the composition from a straight eight sixteenth note pulse feel to a nice Samba feel.Anthony Wilson's Power of Nine has a very even and enjoyable flow and coming from Sunset Sound Studios means the sound quality is excellent. The CD has a wide range of colors and feels. The playing is all top shell with the compositions and arrangements being extremely inventive and thematic in nature. However, they should be very accessible by a wide audience with varying degrees of both jazz and non-jazz musical tastes. Furthermore, this CD is a must have if you are into the power of the pen in jazz.
