Place d'Armes: Foundations of the Montreal Vibe
What's to be said of Montreal's architectural influences? Zeshaun Saleem takes on one of its most iconic squares: Place d'Armes.
What's to be said of Montreal's architectural influences? Zeshaun Saleem takes on one of its most iconic squares: Place d'Armes.
April is the cruelest month. Except for the trees. They cycle through life and death as if it were a roller coaster. Any minute now they'll be racing past on their way to the lushest part of the year.
There's something cathartic about riding a bike naked on the streets of Montreal. But that is yet to be determined as we enter our sixty-ninth minute of this ride.
After a time, people stopped asking me the Toronto question. As I moved into my mid and late thirties, the question became, "What the hell are you still doing here?"
NEIGHBOURHOOD. Suffice to say that pedestrian zones are an essential part of an urbanized environment in many parts of the world.
POLITICS. In this mayoralty race urban agriculture has hardly been on the lips of the front-runners. When asked by a Radio Canada journalist if he composts, Denis Coderre quipped: "I eat my compost," a one liner that surely sums up his party's well thought out environmental program.
ART. NEIGHBOURHOOD. This is decidedly the most literal season. Though we can call it Autumn, we know it as Fall or Fall-time.
For three years, Marci Babineau's backyard chickens made her the poster girl for the urban chicken movement in Montreal. Media outlets big and small covered the story all the way to Toronto.
NEIGHBOURHOOD. For a neighbourhood that prides itself on community, an inordinate number of parents send their kids to schools outside of Mile End.
In the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, Verdun was covered with farms. In fact, it owes its status as a municipality to a group of English and French-speaking gentleman farmers in 1874 who wanted to avoid a perceived tax grab by the City of Montreal. Plus ça change…
NEIGHBOURHOOD. When we walk along the street it is impossible to know who is Catholic, who practices yoga regularly, who speaks Spanish, who listens to heavy metal, or who's thinking about becoming vegetarian.
How many of us in Quebec are still eating from our gardens in the month of December? Global warming aside, I would hazard very few. One such fortunate man is Bertrand Montpetit, a market gardener for over thirty years, organic for the last four.
Pastagate, the Soccer Turban Ban and the Mayoral Scandal(s) were just a few of the goodies that propelled Montreal to first place in its bid to become the "Most Embarrassing City on the Planet" this summer. Knowing how to end things in style and wanting to do so with a bang, the city concluded its debacle of a summer (hopefully), with a grand finale in the form of a backhoe-sized sinkhole in the heart of its downtown core. To celebrate, I did what Montrealers do best: I threw a (sinkhole) party.
When she was in chef school, Shelley Edward's dream was to open a restaurant that served produce from her own farm. It was a novel idea back then.
Bernard Bonneau is over six feet tall, but when he stoops to pluck a leaf off one of his spinach plants he is like a kid in a candy shop. The grin on his face says it all.

--> ''The fantasy is yours.''
''Thayer's Quest'' was a [[TheEighties 1984]] fully-animated laserdisc game in the style of ''DragonsLair'' or ''VideoGame/SpaceAce,'' but with somewhat more interactivity.
The player controls Thayer Alcanred, an apprentice magician and [[ChosenOne last of a magically-blessed bloodline]]. His mentor tasks him with finding the pieces of the almighty [[MacGuffin Hand of Quoid]] before the evil wizard [[BigBad Sorsabal]]. The game's main goal, however, is to deal with Sorsabal's pawn, Torlock, who killed the rightful king and queen and now sits on their throne. Under his despotic reign the land has become a place of chaos where [[EverythingTryingToKillYou where evil lurks around every corner]].
A sequel incorporating the second half of Thayer's quest was planned, but the developers went bankrupt before it could be completed (probably owing to the system it was created for going for something in the ballpark of $2500). When CD-based consoles and computers made the format more accessible in the [[TheNineties 1990s]], ''Thayer's Quest'' was given a facelift (creator Rick Dyer thought the original game was "too [[TheSeventies 70's]]") and rereleased as ''Kingdom: The Far Reaches.'' The second game completing the story, ''Kingdom: Shadoan,'' was also finally completed and released not long after.
Unlike games such as ''Dragon's Lair'' and ''Space Ace,'' which only required the player to tell their character where to move or when to attack in accordance with the animation, ''Thayer's Quest'' was a full-on AdventureGame. The player had complete control over Thayer's movement from area to area, accumulating items to let him defeat enemies and escape traps.
!!''Thayer's Quest'' provides examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: The game has a very elaborate backstory which is [[strike:barely]] contextually mentioned during the game.
** Also, '''listen carefully to every NPC'''. If you get stuck, thank your impatience.
* DumbMuscle: The guard of the bridge which will lead us to the endspiel, according to his body proportions, voice and... oh hell, his face.
** On the other side, he knows ''every'' law of The Elder Kings.
* ElementalEmbodiment: At one point in the desert, Thayer must find three element-based monsters: water, earth, and fire.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Can't find the healing point and your pouch is overfilled? No worries! Make Thayer die and he will respawn with not even a single scratch.
** Sometimes, it's clearly averted, though... [[spoiler:Try to use a spell which is ''obligatory'' to use to beat the game in the wrong place and [[GameBreakingBug you lose it forever.]] Seriously.]]
* FilmingForEasyDub: Most scenes have variations with alternate dialogue. These scenes are animated with little to no on-screen lip movement.
* HaveANiceDeath: Pay Pentacle Coins to the bridge guy [[spoiler:and you'll get his job. Like, '''forever'''.]]
** Alternately, use The Spell of Seeing in the Hedge Maze [[spoiler:and Isonbey will PWN you for using magic in this place.]]
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The strongest weapon in the first game is the Blood Sword of the Elder Kings, which kind of weirdly is ''not'' one of the pieces of the almighty artifact you're questing to find, and is a more effective weapon than the piece that ''is'' a weapon, the Black Mace. Averted in the second game where you find the Dagger of Arne, which is both a piece of the Hand ''and'' works better than the Blood Sword.
* KarmaMeter: Doesn't really influence the gameplay but rather shows your rank after you beat the game or lose all your lives.
* MacGuffin: The Hand of Quoid, split onto five relics.
--> '''Druce:''' The relics! The relics are important!
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Make the wrong move or face a trap with only one point of health and you're a goner.
* ObviousBeta: The game itself is actually playable, but it ends only when you approach The Far Reaches (ironically, because the re-release of Thayer's Quest got a name of ''Kingdom: The Far Reaches'' and this kingdom '''never''' makes an appearance till ''Shadoan''). [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Rumor has it that animation for all five kingdoms was drawn... which never made it to the game.]]
* OneHitPointWonder: Two, actually, but if you lost one, there were only two places to restore your health: at the waterfall and the monk in Illes. Thankfully, they're not hard to find.
* PlotCouponThatDoesSomething: The ultimate goal of the game is to assemble the Black Mace, Orb of Mobus, the Hunting Horn, the Dagger of Arne and the Crown of Malric. Each are used to solve puzzles on their own too.
* StrippedToTheBone: Quite a few of the deaths results in Thayer melting or rotting to the bone.

O generation of the thoroughly smug
and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing.

I don't really want to update my previous post because it would be better if it this is above the other one.
I see no problem with Theistic Evolution, it is actually a pretty good idea, since it is a good synthesis of science and religion, saying that God created the laws that govern the universe and left it at that.
What I have a problem with is trying to interpret a book, like the Bible, using outdated ideas really, really weird interpretations and modifying pictures to fit the interpretation is not on.
I don't want to see and idea like this one become twisted and this twisted form be used as an argument against evolution.
Nor do I want to see a version of an idea that is usable in a religious society end up becoming defined by a person who has written a page about it using flawed ideas.

Re: [TexasCzechs] The Eagle, the Man, and the Lions
Expand Messages
- Dear Daniel,
Thank you for expressing interest in my stories. I am more than willing to
share them as paper copies with the Harris County Czech Heritage Society.
The stories I have shared on the Texas Czech web site have been ones which
attempt to capture what the lives of Texas Czechs were like. These I can
forward as is. As far as Texas Czech and their contributions, I am sure I
can obtain permission to Mr. Jo Charba to submit a copy of his autobiography.
Already prepared, I have the life history of my father, Julius Rektorik,
which I researched and wrote when the Robstown Historical Commission honored
him as a life time citizen with a strong history of civil service. It is my
hope that this biography will be included as my Dad was one of the first
children of Texas Czech settlers who attended college, taught in a public
school system and was involved in the State Guard during World War II as an
air raid warden, coast watch for enemy planes and U-boats, and in many other
local civic organizations. I have not published his story on the Texas Czech
site for my dad was born in 1913 and is so much younger than the ones of
which I currently write. However, his contributions are noteworthy.
I am also the great-granddaughter of Tom Mrazek who designed, engineered, and
manufactured the Mrazek Grubbing Plow which allowed the area around Corpus
Christi to be cleared of the "running mesquite" and put into cultivation when
commercially available plows were not up to task. His plow cleared the
roadway for the first highway between Robstown and Corpus Christi. He is
noted in many references on Nueces County and Robstown. He also designed,
manufactured the parts for and built a steam-powered cotton gin in Williamson
County, Texas. Tom Mrazek was a Czech Texan worthy of mention in the history
books. I have been gathering information, photos and references on him for
several years. Because of his gifts and the practical application of his
genius, it is taking me a while to determine how best to capture him in
writing. Your project would give me impetus. Please let me know when Czech
Heritage Month is and I will pull together not only a biography but photos of
his Williamson County cotton gin, the Mrazek Grubbing Plow Factory in
Robstown, and a photo of the plow as well as a photo of the Mrazek homestead
here in Robstown. The significance of this man, Tom Mrazek, can be found in
the articles in both the Nueces County Historical Commission Bulletin, the
Robstown Record which is the local paper, as well as books on Williamson
County and the Czechs in Nueces County. I would love to do this and I would
appreciate having an outlet so that I can have a product which is shared with
a sizable audience. There is not a large audience which I have found which
will understand and appreciate the stories which I tell.
Please let me know if you are interested in the Tom Mrazek Profile and when
Czech History Month is. I will pull together a nifty and informative
package. I will also edit and send hard copies of the stories which I have
already published on the Texas Czechs web site.
With Interest and Appreciatively,
Susan Rektorik Henley

Keith Hill inquired recently:
There are times when displaying long paths (like as a menu item) that you would like to display a shortened path. Since the Win32 API already has a CompactPath API, it would be nice to expose this via the Path class.
We completely agree Keith, this is something we haven't had a chance to get to, but it is on our radar. It won't be available in Whidbey, but keep an eye out for it in the future.

Private equity may become a friend, not a bogeymanFebruary 2008
It's right to be suspicious of buy-out firms, but we should give them a chance, urges Danielle Cohen
If the term business ethics is, as some believe, an oxymoron, then ethics and private equity are perhaps even less likely bedfellows. Many reports in the media would have us believe so, citing the buy-out houses' fondness for cutting jobs and exploiting tax loopholes as evidence of their lack of integrity. With the cornerstone of ethics – accountability – also considered to be conspicuously absent from the industry's dealings, does the private equity boom herald a return to corporate opacity?
No one seems sure what to expect from the big-name companies that have been acquired by private equity and whose operations have consequently become veiled from scrutiny through a reduction in public reporting. And considering private equity's reputation for making cutbacks to increase short-term profitability, there are concerns that its increased influence could undermine ethical improvements.
There is undeniably less transparency in the private equity industry than there is among public limited companies (plcs) and arguably less public empowerment given the lack of shareholder voting rights. But private equity firms do understand that their acquisitions' brand values must be enhanced or at least maintained for them to return decent profits. And the risk that a company's CSR policy will change is surely inherent to any type of buy-out – remember the panic when L'Oréal announced that it would be acquiring the Body Shop? Also, while private equity firms have been accused of short-termism, plcs are notoriously held to ransom by the City's demand for quarterly results.
All this is not to say that the recent furore about private equity's dealings has been a bad thing. While the buy-out houses themselves may be feeling rather hard done by, it could be that all the scrutiny will result in valuable lessons for publicly and privately owned companies alike. In fact, lessons have already been learned – as has been shown by The British Venture Capital Association's new voluntary code to improve transparency in the private equity industry (EP9, issue 8, p3). The European Venture Capital Association has also reacted, restructuring itself in an effort to engage more effectively with European Union policy makers.
These may only be first steps, but they are at least a clear sign that private equity firms are starting to recognize that transparency, accountability and engagement will be essential if their industry is to prove it's prepared to meet the ethical challenges inherent in its new position of global influence.

An exciting 'Transformer' style episode in Life OK's ShapathFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
What interests Indian audience the most? Love stories, tears and a lot of action.
Well, swaying in the same direction is Life OKs popular action based show Shapath (Fireworks Productions) which deals with inspectors fighting off supernatural villains.
Currently portraying exciting tales of outer world creatures attacking earth, the police force in the show will be fighting the evils with their intelligence and valour. Titled Transformers, a special episode is being currently canned which will be inspired from the film of the same name.
This episode, which will be the last in the series of aliens and outer world species, is touted to be the most expensive of them all. Also its going to be a complete action packed episode.
Talking on the same actor Kapil Arya who plays Aditya in the show shares, The most difficult task shooting for these episodes is that we have no idea where the animated villains will be placed, its like fighting invisible enemy. I must say, the directors are doing a wonderful job with this.
Also Sangram Singh who has joined the cast recently added, This is going to be a really interesting episode.
Watch the episode soon on the show.

Banner design is a powerful marketing tool to build your brand and improve your online presence.
Cutting through noise in a digital landscape can be tough and makes capturing the attention of customers is challenging, which is why the power of print design should not be underestimated.
If your website contains data rich information that needs accompanying visual components, icons and infographics are a great way to communicate a concept with very little text and help users absorb and process information more efficiently.

LIVE from DaModa as your Portland Trail Blazers host some other guy's Philadelphia 76ers in a rematch of the 1977 NBA Finals.
Portland is playing like it's primed for a return trip, as Rip City's revival continues to scorch its way through the winter with the Western Conference's best record. A couple hiccups aside, the Blazers look capable of playing with anybody and embarrassing some. Most recently, it was Charlotte, which was drawn and rose-quartered (as it were) by a Portland team that tied a franchise record for 3-pointers in a game with 21. When did they set that vaunted mark, you ask? Well, it was just this season, when Portland manhandled the Brotherly Lovers 139-105 on Dec. 14 in Philly behind 21 treys.
Two nights after hitting blackjack once again against the future-Hornets, Portland will likely be letting 'em fly once again against a Sixers squad allowing more 3s per game (10.3) than anyone in the league. Philly is, however, closing out a six-game road trip on a bit of an upswing. After knocking off the Lakers last week, they've won two more behind some career-best ball from Thaddeus Young. Of course, Portland has a roster full of guys in top form at the moment, from MVP candidate LaMarcus Aldridge (23 points, 11 boards per) to All-Star candidates Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum to Roster Addition of the Year (an award I just made up) candidates Robin Lopez and Mo Williams. Portland leads the league in 3-point percentage behind Lillard and Matthews and have hit at least eight in eight straight games. Can they make it nine (which, to keep with the theme, I should point out is 3x3)?
We've got a triple threat on our hands! So click past the jump and follow along as I deftly describe the action, on and off the floor.
Philadelphia (11-21, 11th in East)—Hollis Thompson and Michael Carter-Williams on guard. Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner up front. Spencer Hawes at center. On the bench: Lorenzo Brown, Tony Wroten, James Anderson, Brandon Davies, Jason Richardson, Elliot Williams, Daniel Orton, Lavoy Allen.
Portland (26-7, 1st in West)—Damian Lillard and Wes Matthews on guard. Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge up front. Robin Lopez at center. On the bench: Dorell Wright, Will Barton, Meyers Leonard, Earl Watson, Victor Claver, Joel Freeland, Allen Crabbe, Mo Williams, Thomas Robinson.
Both teams are sporting all-red warmups. From the 200 level, it looks like the Chinese National Team is holding an intrasquad exhibition.
Hawes—a University of Washington product—gets a smattering of cheers during intros. Random fact: Spencer's uncle, Steve Hawes, played with Blazers during the 1975-76 season.
FIRST QUARTER Away we go! Sixers win the tip.
11:09—Sixers strike first as Turner hits a 3 and, after a Blazer turnover get a reverse lay-up for Thompson. Good start for the road team. Sixers lead 5-0.
10:31—And now they lead 7-0 after Young hits a jumper.
10:13—Make that 9-0.
9:54—Lopez puts Portland on the board with a jumper from the top of the key. Crowd loves it sorta-sarcastically. WE WON'T HAVE A SHUTOUT TONIGHT, FOLKS!
8:51—The Sixers have hit their first six shots and lead 14-2. This is actually happening.
8:07—Portland will take a full timeout after Young steps into the lane and hits a little hook shot over Aldridge. Philly leads 16-2. Seriously.
7:42—Aldridge spins around Hawes and jams one home. A crowd desperate for something to cheer about gets just that. Philly still up a dozen.
4:14—Timeout on the floor. Philly leading 22-9 behind seven points from Turner. Sixers shooting 59%—Portland firing at a 40% clip with five turnovers. It seems this will not be a repeat of that Dec. 14 shellacking. Philly came to play. Williams and Freeland checking in for the Blazers.
2:28—Williams hits Portland's first 3 of the night to pull the Blazers back within a dozen. Only 20 more to go!
0:00—Aldridge hits a jumper to reach double figures, then gets a rebound to set up a final possession for Portland. They can't convert, however, and Philly leads 32-19 behind 58% shooting. Blazers shooting 36% and playing like they thought the game started at 7:30. Aldridge leading all scorers with 11 points, but Turner and Young are hot on his heels with 9 and 8, respectively.
SECOND QUARTER Leonard checking in for Portland.
10:24—Lillard goes strong to the hoop to put Portland within single digits. He's taken it to the rim on the last two possessions.
9:39—Anderson converts a 3-point play to put Philly up 37-23.
8:57—Timeout on the floor with Philly still up 37-23. Sixers are playing with a lot of confidence right now, and they should—they've won three straight on the road and look well on their way to getting a fourth.
8:04—Lillard with a pull-up 3 to ignite the crowd a bit.
7:00—Williams with a baseline jumper to pull the Blazers within seven. They've woken up a bit here, but are still shooting less than 40%.
5:23—Stotts takes another timeout after Wroten drives baseline and dunks two-handed, legs agape. Philly up 45-36.
3:50—Freeland with a pretty move to get around Hawes and drop in a layup. Blazers within a bucket, 45-42.
2:55—After Williams hits a 3, he finds Matthews leaking ahead in transition for an easy layup. Blazers on an 11-2 run and we're tied at 47. Portland has officially recovered from a very rough start, and the Blazers have all the momentum at the moment. Mo Williams leading all scorers with 14 points.
1:29—Aldridge hits a jumper from the right elbow (weird) and Portland has its first lead of the night at 49-48. "That's more like it," thinks everyone in the arena.
0:06.2—Turner gives Philly the lead with a drive to the lane and layup. Stotts takes a timeout and Portland will draw something up for the final possession of the half.
HALFTIME: Sixers lead 52-50. Philly carries an advantage into the half after squandering a 16-point lead early. They're shooting 51% and playing as good as they look in their fresh blue jerseys. Turner leading the way with 15 points.
Portland, meanwhile, is back in this one after a nearly disastrous start. They're shooting 42% and just 3 of 14 from distance. Mo Williams with 14 points to set the pace, followed at Aldridge, who has 13.
SECOND HALF: And we're back at it...Blazers with the ball.
11:51—Blazers tie it up as Batum finds Aldridge going back-door. A dunk happens, and we're knotted at 52.
9:50—Batum finds Matthews for an alley-oop dunk to give Portland a 56-54 lead. Biggest roar of the night from the ninth sellout of the season here.
7:32—Batum with another lob inside, this time finding Aldridge. He lays it in and Portland is up 6.
6:32—Young ties it up with a 3 from the corner. He has 18 on the night and the Sixers aren't giving in after the Blazers looked like they might be taking control of this one..
5:57—Timeout on the floor. We're tied at 62. And hey, they did the "Kiss cam" without closing on two visiting players! Glad that slightly homophobic/super lame joke finally ran its course. Now about those McMuffins...
4:05—Batum follows a Williams miss with a tip-layup in traffic. Blazers up 70-66.
3:26—Philly takes a timeout down 70-66. Aldridge leading everyone with 23 points and 12 boards.
1:24—Blazers with their biggest lead—seven—after Williams hits a pair of throws.
0:00—Blazers close out the quarter on a 12-3 run and they lead, 76-69. This one feels well within Portland's control, especially on the glass: They're out-rebounding the Sixers 47-26. Aldridge leading the way with 27 points and 13 boards. Young pacing Philly with 22 points.
FOURTH QUARTER: Sixers will start with it.
10:54—Philly staying in this one. Allen with a little jump-hook in the lane to pull them within a bucket, 78-75.
9:58—Leonard fouled on a rebound. Before that, Lillard drives, stops and pops to keep Portland up 3. Sixers hanging around, but it certainly feels like it's just a matter of time before the Blazers put it away.
8:43—Wright with a no-look pass to Leonard, who dunks it home. Blazers up 82-77 and we have a timeout on the floor.
6:18—Turner with a tough baseline jumper to pull the Sixers back within a bucket. Blazers lead 84-82, but they can't seem to put Philly away.
5:48—Sixers tie it up. They're on a 7-0 run and the tide has turned a bit.
5:19—And now Philly leads. Hawes follows a Turner miss. Crowd cheering nervously as Blazers bring it down.
4:29—Philly up 4 after a Wroten layup. On the other end, Lillard misses a 3, but Aldridge is fouled on the rebound. Blazers turn it over and Wroten will get a bucket after Batum is called for goaltending. Philly on a 13-point run. Shades of the opening quarter.
3:41—Timeout on the floor. Sixers up 90-86 and holding the momentum as the Blazers have gone ice cold. Philly winning the quarter 21-10 with four players in double figures for the game.
2:32—Lopez hits a pair of free throws, and we're tired at 90. Crunch time.
1:29—Matthew takes an Aldridge pass and goes the hoop for a bucket AND ONE! He misses the free throw and we're tied at 92.
1:10—Young banks one in. Tough, hard-nosed shot there after Portland nearly steals it twice. Sixers up two.
0:55.8—Stotts takes a timeout. Sixers lead 94-92 and it's nervous time here. Blazers will have the ball. Shot clock is at 8, but they might reset it. And...nope.
0:54—Lopez drains a pair of free throws, and we're tied. Crowd on its feet.
0:36.2—Carter-Williams drives the lane and misses, but Batum can't box out Young, and the Sixers' leading scorer tips it home. Philly back up, 96-94, and Young has 30 points.
0:22.5—Matthews is fouled by Young and he'll head to the line with a chance to tie. He hits the first, BUT MISSES THE SECOND! The Sixers rebound and call a timeout. Big-time missed opportunity there, and Philly clings to a 96-95 lead. Blazers need a steal or a quick foul when we come back from the TO.
0:21.5—Batum fouls Carter-Williams right away. Batum looks like he might have jammed a finger there. Carter-Williams hits one of two. Sixers lead, 97-95.
0:20.3—Portland takes a timeout. Call on the floor is that Allen knocked it out of bounds on the rebound, but they're looking again. Looks like Blazers will have the ball with a chance to tie/win. BUT NO, THEY OVERTURN THE CALL, AND IT'LL BE PHILLY BALL. Huge break for the Sixers there. They'll take a timeout and then can go a long way toward putting this one away with a couple of free throws.
0:19.3—Hawes to the line after Lillard fouls him at midcourt. Fans hate the call. Hawes hits both and Philly leads 99-95. Timeout, Portland.
0:18.1—Batum lobs to Aldridge, who tips it in. Blazers down 2.
0:14.3—Turner goes the line after Batum fouls out. He hits 'em both and Philly leads 101-97.
0:05.4—Lillard drives and hits a layin. On the inbound, IT'S A TURNOVER! LOPEZ GETS THE STEAL! And the Blazers will take a timeout with a chance to tie/win again. What a gift.
FINAL: Sixers win, 101-99. Lillard gets to the rim but misses the layup. Carter-Williams is on the floor. Looks like he took an elbow to the head from his own teammate.
A big-time upset as Philly wins its fourth straight to close out its road trip. Portland sleepwalked into this game but closed the gap at half. But just when you thought they might put it away late in the third, Philly just kept battling.
Young leads all scorers with 30 point. Turner adds 23 and Carter-Williams chips in 16. For Portland, Aldridge sets the pace with 29 points and 14 rebounds. He's followed by Lopez, who goes for 14 points and 15 boards. Lillard had 16, Williams added 16 and Matthews has 13. Batum fouls out, but with a rare double-double—he had only 4 points, but had 10 boards and assists.
Probably the toughest loss of the season for the Blazers, who travel to Sacramento to play the Kings on Tuesday. They're back here Wednesday against another Eastern Conference club, Orlando.

Hey Rosetta! Set US Tour (Finally!) w/ Hot Hot Heat
If you've read this blog at all before, you'll know that one of my biggest musical obsessions over the past couple of years has been Canada's Hey Rosetta!.
The band was recommended to me by Chris of The Battering Room back in early 2008, about the time that their second album, Into Your Lungs, was released. Chris knew I was a huge fan of The Frames, and thought that Hey Rosetta! might be up my alley. He was right. Very, very right.
For two years I listened to Into Your Lungs (as well as the band's first LP, Plan Your Escape) and patiently waited for a chance to see them in a live setting. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to do much touring, and their only jaunts into the US were once or twice yearly shows in New York. I considered trips to NYC to catch them, but something always seemed to come up at the last minute to stop me. I finally got a chance to see the band (twice!) at South By Southwest this year, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. In fact, I named their sets as my #1 highlight of SXSW.
And now the band has finally announced a proper U.S. tour in support of fellow Canadians Hot Hot Heat, including a Chicago stop at Lincoln Hall on September 10th (tix on sale today at noon). I seriously cannot recommend strongly enough that you catch this show, regardless of whether you like Hot Hot Heat or not (and I really don't at this point).
If you haven't heard Hey Rosetta! before, check out the videos after the tour dates. Both songs are from Into Your Lungs, which, for god's sake, you need to buy. NOW.

I can't tell you how to do it exactly but it should be possible. Check that you have the aerial lead from your cable box securely plugged in at both ends and if it has auto tuning run this according to the manual. My Akai DVD/VHS recorder is connected to my NTL cable box and works OK. My Freeview box is connected to a VCR and works OK. I use a scart switch box for switching the outputs to the TV due to the complexity of the cable arrangement and the shortage of Inputs on the TV.

White House Down (2013)
Her Review:
John Cale (Channing Tatum) works Capitol security for Speaker of the House (Richard Jenkins) but he has aspirations to work in the President's security detail. Calling in a favor a friend gets him an interview plus a pass into the White House for his daughter, who is a political junkie of sorts. Cale and his daughter Emily (Joey King) are touring the White House when there is an explosion in the Capitol and the White House is taken over by a heavily armed group of men. Men with a plan. As chaos ensues John is separated from Emily. In his attempt to find her he steps right into the middle of everything and its up to him to keep President Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) safe and ultimately save the country. Also starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke, James Woods, Nicolas Wright, Jimmi Simpson, Michael Murphy, Rachelle Lefevre, Lance Reddick, Matt Craven, Jake Weber, Peter Jacobson, Garcelle Beauvais, Jackie Geary, Vincent Leclerc.
White House Down is a smash and grab action flick that starts out slow, picks up speed but ultimately never lives up to expectations set by its predecessor Olympus Has Fallen. Pretty much everything about White House Down is standard Hollywood fare. It is generic and expected. Don't mistake me, that isn't necessarily a bad thing but it won't earn a movie high marks in my book. I did enjoy watching White House Down and I certainly wasn't bored. There is enough shoot and run, big explosions and funny if slightly stupid dialogue to keep your interest for the length of the film. As I said it starts out slow, so give it time to get to the action and minor plot twists. The biggest problem with this movie is that it really couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Action? Drama? Comedy? Thriller? Too many identities and none of them really shine enough to truly make this film great. Starring Jamie Foxx I kind of expected a bit of humor and it pretty much all comes from him. So that is a nice addition to what would have otherwise been a flat job by all other major stars here. Yes, that includes the handsome Mr. Tatum who performance is lack luster at best. The downside is that I expected more from Foxx's character. Most films depict the President as either a bad ass or at least a strong figure but President Sawyer (Foxx's character) actually comes across as fairly wimpy for the majority of the film. Doesn't inspire you to believe that's for sure. Best acting job was presented by Joey King as Emily Cale. Her role as side hero to everything was interesting and King does a decent job playing a scared yet strong little girl. All in all this is pretty standard fare as far as movies go but it will at least entertain with a few laughs and some big explosions, so if you have nothing else better to do it can't hurt to give it a go.
7/10 Stars – Supplies the expected action from the makers of Independence Day and 2012 but doesn't give you much else worth getting excited over.
His Review:
I will start out by saying that White House Down fits the bill of a typical Roland Emmerich (2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla) film. In my opinion you can break this movie down in 2 ways; by comparing it to the directors other over-the-top destruction films and comparing it to the other 2013 film about an attack on the White House… Olympus Has Fallen. If you know anything about Roland Emmerich, his films are flashy, destructive, funny and way over-the-top. Do not expect his movies to be realistic, but you can expect them to be tons of fun and plenty enjoyable! I would say that White House Down is comparable to Emmerich's huge blockbuster Independence Day in terms of action, likeable characters and "historic moments." As far as comparing White House Down to Olympus Has Fallen, I can say this… Olympus Has Fallen may be more realistic, suspenseful and shocking, but White House Down is more action-packed and has a better ending. The ending to this movie is the kind of moment that if it were real, it would be something you would find in history books as something comparable to Paul Revere and the lanterns. I just thought it was pretty cool even if it wasn't real. It was nice to see James Woods back in the movies after a great career in the 80s and 90s. I wasn't expecting him to be in the movie and it was a pleasant surprise… as was Joey King. I liked Olympus Has Fallen for different reasons than I liked White House Down so for that reason I like them both equally. Both movies will not disappoint but appeal to different crowds so it depends on what kind of action movie you like. If you are a fan of Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx or just any of Roland Emmerich's other films, check this one out! It was a lot of fun!
8/10 Stars – Who cares if it isn't believable or we saw something just like it 3 months ago… its damn fun and thrilling!

Satellite collars will save the lives of both elephants and human populations
A team of scientists, researchers and veterinarians from Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and School of Field Studies (SFS) will fit the elephants with tracking collars in a two-day exercise, Xinhua reported.
Head of species research programmes at KWS Charles Musyoki said monitoring elephant movements in the Amboseli ecosystem is a fundamental prescription of Kenya's national elephant conservation and management strategy.
"This scientific study will go a long way in generating accurate, almost real time and up to date information that is critical for managing and conserving elephants on one hand and enhancing local people's livelihoods on the other," Musyoki said.
Located in the Rift Valley in Kenya, the Amboseli landscape includes the park, the Maasai community group ranches namely Olgulului-Olorarashi, Kimana, Mbirikani, Selengei, Kuku and Rombo.
These stretch to Mt Kilimanjaro, and straddle the Kenya-Tanzania border and Chyulu Hills. Amboseli elephant populations were estimated at 1,400 according to the last total aerial census conducted in 2012. Currently, Kenya has about 37,000 elephants.
During the exercise, the scientists will fit three pre-selected females and one male with the collars. In February six elephants -- four males and two females -- were collared at four group ranches bringing to 66 tracking collars on elephant in the country.
The collars, which transmit a satellite and radio signal, will help KWS map out the elephants' migratory and dispersal routes - critical areas utilised by the elephants, and identify how expansively the elephants travel in search of water and food.
IFAW East Africa head of programs Steve Njumbi said the satellite collars will save the lives of both elephants and human populations in the long run.
"Using science we can understand where and how the elephants in this area move about, and we can use this information to help us prioritise human-elephant conflict interventions, as well as save the migratory routes that elephants in this area have been using for millennia," Njumbi said.
Earlier studies on the elephant population have focused on individuals' behavioural patterns, helping understand interactions in the social structure of the animal.
The joint study is part of IFAW's Amboseli Project, which includes enhancing KWS' law enforcement capabilities, leasing critical corridors and dispersal areas in community land, creating conservation awareness and local capacity for ecotourism ventures, and mitigating human-elephant conflict.
A recent dry season joint Kenya/Tanzania census in October for elephants and other large mammals in Amboseli ecosystem estimated a total of 1,193 elephants, compared to a similar dry season in October 2010 count of 1,065.

Posted in Press Releases on 26 June 2013
Chris T-T returns to the touring circuit this Autumn as main support on the Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo album headline tour. It's a welcome return for one of the nation's greatest songwriting talents, as Chris has been busy with extra-curricular activities for the past 12 months. Chris will be playing tracks from his expansive back catalogue in a career that spans 13 years!
October will also see Chris release his ninth studio album, his third for label Xtra Mile Recordings. Recorded with his band The Hoodrats, together they have departed from the paired down introspection of 2010's Love Is Not Rescue and instead created a full-on psych rock record. More details on this to follow.
But before all that, Chris will spend the summer at various festivals performing music as well as hosting talks and continues his Artist in Residence spot at The Royal Pavilion & Museum Brighton until September.
Since 1999 Chris T-T has released eight albums, including a trilogy about London: The 253 (2001), London Is Sinking (2003) and Capital (2008), as well as alt-folk protest classic 9 Red Songs (2005) and more recently the inward-looking Love Is Not Rescue (2010). Based in Brighton but restlessly mobile, he has written for The Morning Star, Louder Than War, Huffington Post, New Public Thinkers and others. Alongside writing and touring, Chris speaks regularly at conferences and runs seminars and workshops.

In a first for the country, two women have been appointed to head key financial institutions as the kingdom takes a step towards inclusive growth.
Who are these game-changers?
They are both experienced bankers.
Sarah Al Suhaimi will head Saudi Arabia's stock exchange, Tadawaul, the largest securities market in the Middle East.
She has worked her way up through Saudi Arabia's male-dominated financial sector, holding key positions in investment firms over the years.
A Harvard University alumna, Suhaimi was also the first female chief executive of a Saudi investment bank when she took the role at NCB Capital in 2014.
World finally knows what we knew. #Saudi Women earning the power they deserve. Rania Nashar & Sara Alsuhaimi get top finance Jobs this week— Muna AbuSulayman (@abusulayman) February 20, 2017
In another first for Saudi women, Rania Mahmoud Nashar, was appointed to run Samba Financial Group, one of the largest banks in the kingdom.
She has two decades of experience in the financial sector and has held several positions at the same bank.
Nashar is the only Saudi woman certified as an anti-money laundering specialist by an American association of experts.
Are these the most prominent appointments for Saudi women?
Not really.
Women have in recent years started working in professions like architecture and engineering. Their increased participation has coincided with the change in Saudi Arabia's attitude towards women.
In offices and malls, young women are making their presence felt by selling everything from lingerie to investment plans.
Lubna Olayan, the CEO of multi-billion-dollar Olayan Financing, is one such example.
She started working for her father's company, which has franchising agreements with big brands like Burger King, in 1983 and has since steered its expansion.
Lubna was the only woman in the company for next 18 years. That's how long it took to convince colleagues to allow another woman to work with them.
Since the early 2000s, female hiring has been rapid. The company boasts of having 400 women in its offices by 2015.
What led to the shift in attitude towards women?
Saudi Arabia's youth and those who studied abroad are pushing for more freedoms.
Half of Saudi Arabia's university graduates are women. Many are now entering the fields of banking and engineering, marking a shift from the education and health sectors, where Saudi women were traditionally employed.
King Abdullah, who passed away in 2015, heralded the change in 2009 when he nominated Nora Bint Abdullah al-Fayez as deputy education minister, making her the first woman to hold an official post.
Two years later, he approved reforms that saw women awarded the right to vote, run in municipal elections, and be appointed to the Shura Council, the consultative assembly. It now has 29 female members.
Have the measures increased women's participation in the economy?
Not yet.
Although more women are graduating from university, only 22 percent of positions in the public and private sectors are occupied by women.
Women may still not have the right to drive vehicles, but their participation in the workforce over the past 15 years has been increasing. In 2004, only 23,000 women were employed by the private sector. That number jumped to over half a million by 2014.
Somayya Jabarti, who became the first woman to become editor-in-chief of a Saudi newspaper, hopes for more change.
"There's a crack that has been made in the glass ceiling. And I'm hoping it will be made into a door," she told Al Arabiya English.
How is the government backing this transition?
Saudi Arabia has embarked on massive economic reforms after global crude oil prices dropped. The kingdom is heavily reliant on its export earnings and tax revenue from the petroleum industry.
Under the National Transformation Plan, the government wants to increase female participation in the workforce to 30 percent by 2030.
With economic managers shifting the focus away from oil and towards knowledge-based sectors, women's participation in the economy is key.

Man Utd sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Mourinho makes stunning first move as Old Trafford boss
Respected Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf report that Ibrahimovic will join United this summer on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain.
It's said he will start his Old Trafford career as a player before moving into a role as coach under Mourinho.
United have yet to confirm Louis van Gaal's sacking, yet alone Mourinho's arrival to replace him.
But De Telegraaf are close to Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola and the news isn't believed to be idle speculation.
The piece, which was published this afternoon is headlined "Ibrahimovic to Manchester United".

Washington, Dec 25 (ANI): Scientists from University of California, Irvine have identified a potential therapeutic target for Huntington's disease.
In Huntington's disease, a mutated protein in the body becomes toxic to brain cells. Researches have shown that a small region adjacent to the mutated segment plays a major role in the toxicity.
The new study shows that very slight changes to this region can eliminate signs of Huntington's disease in mice
"These studies shed light on the structure and biochemistry of the mutant huntingtin protein and on potentially modifiable factors that affect its toxicity," said Dr Margaret Sutherland, a program director at NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
"They reveal sites within the huntingtin protein and within broader disease pathways that could serve as targets for drug therapy," she added.
According to the researchers, individuals with the disease carry mutations that affect the huntingtin protein.
Lead researchers Leslie Thompson and Joan Steffan, Ph.D. investigated how a process called phosphorylation affects huntingtin.
Phosphorylation is the attachment of chemical tags, known as phosphates, onto the amino acids in a protein.
The study shows that phosphorylation of just two amino acids, located at one end of huntingtin, targets the protein for destruction and protects against the toxic effects of the mutant protein.
The researchers found that modification of a huntingtin fragment reduced its tendency to form clumps.
Together, data from the mouse and test tube experiments provide strong support for the idea that phosphorylation acts as a molecular switch to alter clumping of the mutant protein.
They suggest that drugs that enhance or mimic the effects of phosphorylation may help to detoxify the mutant huntingtin protein.
The study is published in the Journal of Cell Biology. (ANI)

Categorization is the process in which ideas and objects are recognized, differentiated and under-stood.
To form a category is necessary follow four rules to specify an object:
1. Criterial attributes - required characteristics for inclusion of an object in a category.
3. The third rule assignees weight to various properties.
4. The fourth rule sets acceptance limits on attributes.
Bruner also suggested that there are two primary modes of thought: the narrative mode and the paradigmatic mode:
Bruner argued that aspects of cognitive performance are facilitated by language.
He also mentioned that the setting is very important in the adcquisition of language.
Bruneradopted the point of view that culture shapes the mind and provides the raw material with which we constrict our world and our self-conception.
In 1960 Bruner published The Process of Education . This was a landmark book which led to much experimentation and a broad range of educational programs.
Predisposition to learn/Personalized: Instruction should relate to learners' predisposition, and facilitate interest toward learning.
2. Content Structure: Content should be structured so it can be most easily grasped by the learner.
4. Reinforcement: Rewards and punishment should be selected and paced appropriately.

WeeklyBeats.com / Music / NWSPR's music / Open Your Heart (Sound of the Crowd)
Very excited about this track. It's an instrumental cover of the Human League's song "Open Your Heart" from their 1981 album "DARE". I created a drum break inspired by another track off the same album "The Sound of the Crowd".
For my recreation, I used a minimalist approach with only the Arturia Microbrute and a vintage Roland TR-626. All tracks were monophonic, manually played and effected in the mix. The snare sound is brought out with a rich, plate reverb with small room cranked and gated.
The DARE album is very influential to me, in it's production techniques and pure synth sounds. One of the first pop records recorded completely on synthesizers that was a success in that it charted in the US, UK and around the world.
Still finishing up this version but getting close!

Very cool sound. How many tracks did you use? I'm guessing that the "pad" sound was layered with the Microbrute with multiple playthroughs? I'm just starting to rediscover my hardware synths, so hearing stuff like this makes me happy.
Roland TR-626 sounds super solid. Great showcase of the MicroBrute! Great version and 100% pure.

Figure 1.0: Adding value to the club you manage
4 thoughts on "CCN GRAPHIC TURBO SHAZAM"
I think you are pretty spot on. Hughes did a decent job, but hardly revolutionised Fulham and was more of a caretaker. It is hardly like he turned around a struggling team or had Fulham punching above their weight for the first time in years.
I am genuinely excited about this team under Jol. Work in progress, but the rest of the season should be interesting.
I started following Fulham around the time Cookie left. Wow, the squad has come a long way. Gotta give props to MAF (and the whole club, top to bottom) for managing the club, seamlessly, through continuous transition. From Sanchez's hit & hope tactics, to a European final, to today's quality, flowing football – wow the club has come a long way in a relatively short time. So, to you guys that've been supporting FFC for longer, did you ever expect to see the club where we are today? I know I didn't.

Obama won't sell advanced F-16s to Taiwan
President Obama has decided to sell a new arms package to Taiwan that will likely include weapons and equipment to upgrade the island's F-16 jets, according to administration and congressional officials.
The president decided against selling Taiwan 66 advanced F-16 C/D model aircraft, despite several requests from Taipei and Congress, the officials said.
The arms package is worth an estimated $4.2 billion, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. A formal announcement is expected soon.
"All we've been told is the president has made a decision, and I assume it will be for the F-16 A/B upgrade package," said a senior congressional aide close to the issue.
The decision ends nearly two years of debate within the administration and Congress over whether to sell advanced strike aircraft.
The White House declined to comment.
Supporters of the sale say new F-16s, produced by Lockheed Martin, are needed to bolster Taiwan's defenses against China's growing air power and to produce jobs for the U.S. aerospace industry.
China, which opposes U.S. arms sales, is expected to react harshly to the upgrade package. China's military cut off exchanges with the Pentagon in 2008 and last year after two arms packages were announced.
The Obama administration has made its policy of seeking closer military ties with China a high priority, one reason that the president rejected new F-16s in the latest arms sales package, the officials said.
China's U.S. debt holdings also likely influenced the decision. In February 2010, Chinese military leaders called for punishing the United States for arms sales to Taiwan by calling in some of the $1.1 trillion in China's Treasury debt holdings.
A senior administration official said the decision not to sell new F-16s is a setback for officials in the administration who are concerned about Taiwan's declining defenses. The opposition to selling the new jets came mainly from within the State Department, the official said.
The State Department had no immediate comment.
In August, Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, held up the nomination of William Burns to be deputy secretary of state over the jet sale. Mr. Cornyn released the hold after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton promised that a decision on the next Taiwan arms package would be made by Oct. 1.
In addition, the Pentagon is expected to release a long-delayed study on the air power balance across the 100-mile Taiwan Strait. The study is said by officials to show that Taiwan's air force urgently needs modernization.
China has been building up its air forces along the coast opposite Taiwan with more advanced warplanes, including Russian-made Su-27s, Su-30s and Chinese J-10 fighters.
Taiwan's air force is facing serious shortcomings in its fleet, which includes 145 F-16 A/B jets, F-4s, French-made Mirage-2000 jets and domestic fighters.
A congressional assessment supporting the sale of new F-16s stated that "the U.S. government paralysis over sales of these aircraft since 2006 has given China time to develop more advanced capabilities — such as its fifthgeneration J-20 — and evaluate capabilities to defeat even more advanced U.S. tactical aircraft such as the F-22, which may be sold to other U.S. allies in the region, such as Japan, in the future."
According to two U.S. officials close to the arms debate, the White House National Security Council staff, including China
Before the decision on the arms package, 181 House members from both parties wrote to Mr. Obama Aug. 1 urging him to sell the new F-16s.
military authority Evan Medeiros, worked quietly within the interagency system to influence several assessments on the impact of the F-16 C/D sales that were key to the president's decision against selling new jets.
One of the assessments argued that the C/D jets were far more capable than earlier F-16s because of their strike capabilities and could be considered as undermining the U.S. pledge to provide only defensive arms to Taiwan.
U.S. arms sales to Taiwan are guided by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which calls for the United States to provide defense weaponry to Taiwan and prevent the forcible reunification of the island by China.
Beijing considers Taiwan a breakaway province. Taiwan has had a government separate from the communist regime in Beijing since Nationalist forces fled to the island in 1949.
Viewing Taiwan as one of its "core interests," Beijing has not renounced the use of force against the island if Taiwan formally declares independence.
Before the decision on the arms package, 181 House members from both parties wrote to Mr. Obama Aug. 1 urging him to sell the new F-16s.
That followed a similar letter from 45 senators in May calling for the new jets.
Sen. Richard G. Lugar of Indiana also has pressed the administration on the C/D jets.
Mr. Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated in an April 1 letter to the State Department that "Taiwan has legitimate defense needs and its existing capabilities are decaying."
In a letter sent Sept. 14 to Mr. Lugar, State Department official David S. Adams stated that "discussions and evaluations of foreign military requests, capabilities and needs are extremely sensitive and in most cases classified."
"Although we cannot comment publicly on foreign military sales cases until those cases are notified to Congress, we can assure that this administration pays close attention to ensure that Taiwan's self-defense capabilities remain adequate to its needs, as the Taiwan Relations Act requires," Mr. Adams said.
Taiwan's air force currently includes 150 F-16 A/Bs and 300 F4, of which 30 are considered airworthy.
Two other jets, the Taiwan-produced Indigenous Defensive Fighter and French-made Mirage 2000, are said by specialists to be of limited use.
According to a Senate aide, since 2006 Taiwan submitted three letters to the administration requesting new F-16 C/Ds and none was approved or discussed with Congress.
By contrast, from 2006 to 2011, the U.S. government approved $3 billion in sales of C/Ds to Pakistan, along with $650 million in weapons.
"Taiwan has requested the sale of 66 new F-16C/D aircraft, but even if that request is finally approved in 2011, its fighter aircraft force structure will still decline by 65 percent over the next decade, owing the state of the rest of its fleet," the aide said. "This fact alone demonstrates that new sales will not affect the qualitative and quantitative military balance in Taiwan's region, particularly as China fields more advanced, fifth-generation stealth fighters such as its J-20 over the next decade."
Approval of the C/D jets now would ensure that deliveries can begin in 2014.
The aide noted that upgrading the older F-16s will require that up to a third of the Taiwan air force be taken out of service for modernization.
What will be included in the upgrade is not known.
The Pentagon's latest annual report on the Chinese military says that China has 1,680 fighter aircraft, compared with 388 for Taiwan.
