Christmas is the largest holiday in Western culture, and Santa Claus is a huge part of that holiday. But even though our understanding of Santa changes as we mature, we still maintain and cultivate our culture's love of him. And to understand why this is, we had to ask: Is our relationship with Santa similar to wrestling? Though wrestling is more of an entertainment spectacle than a sport, we still enjoy watching it. So: do Santa, Hulk Hogan and the Rock share more similarities than differences? Watch the episode to find out, and tell us what you think!

Anna Webber/Getty Images for Atlantic Records
Taylor Swift may feel "22" at times, but according to Ed Sheeran, it's not a common occurrence.
In the MTV documentary 9 Days and Nights of Ed Sheeran, he revealed that Swift had gifted him with a Drake-lyric needlepoint. Naturally, the singer-songwriter framed the artwork and hung it on his wall.
Did Sheeran make her anything in return? "No," he tells Time, "but I'm not a very crafty sort of person."
Swift, meanwhile, is "very crafty." In fact, the handmade present wasn't at all atypical for Swift. "I know she's 24 but she's a sort of middle-aged woman trapped in a 24-year-old's body," Sheeran says. "She hangs out with her cat and sews things." (Last week, Swift adopted a second cat, named Olivia Benson.)
What about Sheeran? "My soul age differs from day to day," he says. "It can be 8 or 80." How so? "It just depends on what I'm doing," says the musician, who just dropped a new album, x. "If I'm working it's usually pretty spot-on for work, but if I'm with my friends and the clock's off, I'll go back to being young."

Library books, geese both must be culled
I'd like to comment on two recent letters to the editor.
1. Re "Library woes," the recent weeding snafu was unfortunate, but not a deliberate attempt to get rid of books — it was a miscommunication problem.
No library (except the Library of Congress) can keep all the books it buys forever, nor should it. Libraries must choose what they can afford to keep. While I appreciate the fact that Urbana Free Library has a good collection of older books, I don't expect find every old book there. (That's what we have research libraries and interlibrary loan for.) Don't vilify an otherwise excellent library director for one error.
2. "If there are too many geese," I agree wholeheartedly. These "migratory" waterfowl are out of control. They no longer migrate, they have too many offspring and they befoul our waters and banks. Since they have few predators, they no longer need six to eight babies to make sure one or two survive.
Couldn't we feed them something with a birth control agent?

Hmm, good, but...
Do not make the caracters talk about what we can see, so boring to hear a totally hollow speech...Udge fail at the beginin, making the information scene, cool looking but so useless, anyway there's way to put the background story while showing the characters in action. [even in anime they do it]
And archetype japanese characters are not all just hollow stereotypes. I found your work interesting, with quite potential. I think, If you got more than evil and good characters, it could be far more sucess, and you already got one, the blue knight girl, who's on the good side but kill without pity.
I will keep an eye on your work, keep going.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Just very fun!
I'm very welcoming this brand-new story I enjoyed very much!
The plot is very interesting and characters are nice especially the young boys and the blind man as central characters. What's going to be next with them? I'm very looking forward it!
and thats what this series is supposed to be - just simple and fun to watch - - not some deep and intellectual thing with very convuluted characters that are hard to solve.
so glad you liked it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
if this was a game id totally play it
blue guy with pig reminds me of that guy from bleach (he is dressed almost the same too) lol jeero? like jiro from japanese? when i heard of nephew i ws thinking of pokemon XD mask dude = tobi
alright ninja girl and rina lol. like the guys below, lots of cliché elements/people but I still like it very much. I hope for better animation (course there will be) I was a bit thrown off that the noob -who-will-be-the-greatest-hero-in-the -story is in a seemingly rather advanced technologic area
is Jiro a japanese name? DRAT i was hoping i came up with that word/name haha
also the time is suppose to be ambiguous, so not futuristic and not fantasy...so i hope thats coming across in some way
anyways thanks for the review!

Looking forward for more!
Looking forward for the next episode, really great voice actors and animation!
also nice choices in character/planet names!
thanks alot man - - believe it or not i actually spend a lot of time thinking of those names haha....is that sad?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Excellent series - can't wait for more!
I like this very much, even though there are some "cliche" characters in it - most successful series has at least one or two of those anyways!

For when luxury is essential, Princess Luxury Classics are the cars of choice.
When my booked wedding car company closed down 5 weeks before, I thought I was in trouble. But within 24hrs I had contacted Adrian Norris and booked one of his beautiful Princess Limousines. Communication was brilliant, and he was able to fit in with our existing schedule and plans for the day. A complete gentleman; he opened and closed the car door, wore a smart driver's uniform, drove safely and calmly to the ceremony. Nothing was too much trouble. (he even let my husband pack an esky of refreshments in the boot for our photo session later). Wonderful!

Torrance, California (PressExposure) August 08, 2009 -- Astaxanthin is the most potent antioxidant found in animal cells and endows plenty of benefits that are suggested by sufficient recent scientific studies published. One of those studies sheds light on remarkable useful effects of astaxanthin and claims that âIt is strongly suggested that treatment with Astaxanthin may be effective for degeneration of nerve cells as it helps against antioxidant damage to cells. It also reports that Astaxanthin is a potential candidate for natural brain foodâ this is stated as found in study by Liu X and Osawa T in 2009 published in Forum Nutr.
Another recent study of February, 2009 published in FASEB J and conducted by Shen H and his colleague shows that âAstaxanthin can reduce injury to brain tissues by lack of oxygen supply and can also diminish brain cell death.â
Other researches that are conducted to find out the antioxidant like useful effects of Astaxanthin proved the positive effects of Astaxanthin on vascular system and support its remarkable work against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Research studies also prove âIts preventive effects on biologic cell death.â This statement is referenced by study done by Ikeda and his companions in 2009.
Astaxanthin is also used as food supplement for human. It is evident that Astaxanthin is 10 times more capable than other carotenoids as a powerful antioxidant and due to its property it may be beneficial for heart health, bodyâs natural defense mechanism and also in inflammatory conditions.

A new kind of non-practicing entity arrived at the Patent and Trial Appeal Board (PTAB) earlier this year: hedge funds. The arrival marks the dawn of "reverse monetization," in which a party may extract value by eroding another party's patent rights. For example, a party might petition for inter partes review (IPR) of a patent and short the patent owner's stock or take another approach to extract value from the event. As a result of such filings, an intense public debate has arisen and Congress is already considering new legislation to prevent funds from using post-grant proceedings to influence stock prices.
Presently, anyone "who is not the owner of a patent" may file a petition to institute an IPR of the patent. 35 U.S.C. § 311(a). The current statute does not require that a petitioner be a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit, or have been charged with infringement. Taking advantage of the broad standing to petition permitted under the statute, hedge fund Hayman Credes Master Fund L.P. (Hayman), under the name Coalition for Affordable Drugs (ADROCA) LLC (ADROCA), has filed multiple petitions against drug patents. Kyle Bass, the manager and principal of Hayman announced that he would "lower drug prices for Medicare and for everyone" by challenging drug patents using IPR proceedings.
The first salvo was fired by ADROCA when it filed a petition for IPR of US Patent No. 8,663,685, which discloses the use of 4-aminopyridine in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and allegedly covers AMPYRA®, owned by Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Acorda). After the petition was filed, shares of Acorda stock (ACOR) fell 9.65%. While the PTAB has not yet instituted trial based on the petition, Acorda filed a Preliminary Response to ADROCA's petition on May 26, 2015 highlighting several policy arguments against allowing hedge funds to abuse the IPR process.
In its Preliminary Response, Acorda argued that the ADROCA's petition was "an attempt to profit in the stock markets merely from the public's reaction" to the filing. Petition at 1. Specifically, the "much-publicized filing at issue here has been widely described as part of a strategy devised by Mr. Bass to profit by using the IPR process to drive down the price of [Acorda] stock in which he or his investment funds held short positions." Petition at 6.
In light of the onslaught of IPR filings by ADROCA, which now include fourteen additional petitions for IPR against eight publicly traded biopharmaceutical companies, Acorda argued that such filings "are a costly drain on the Office's resources" and, as a "tool to manipulate markets," "not what Congress intended." Petition at 2. Specifically, Acorda argued that Congress' aim in establishing the IPR process was to "provid[e] quick and cost effective alternatives to litigation[,] . . . not . . . [a] tool[] for harassment." Id. (citing H.R. Rep. No. 112-98, pt. 1, at 48). As such, it urged the PTAB to exercise its discretion under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a) to deny institution of the IPR petition. Prompted by the deep public interest concerns surrounding the ADROCA petitions voiced by Acorda and other pharmaceutical companies, Congress is already considering significant changes in recent patent legislation. See H.R. 3309 (113th): "Innovation Act" (Manager's Amendment) (June 9, 2015) (requiring certification from petitioners that it and any of its interested parties "do not own and will not acquire a financial instrument ... that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of an equity security of the patent owner or an affiliate of the patent owner.")
As we previously noted, in "Privy in IPR: What is the Relevant Time Frame," and "Uncertainty Regarding The Scope Of "Privy" And "Real Parties-In-Interest" In AIA Proceedings Remains," patent owners involved in AIA proceedings should raise challenges, where applicable, in their responses submitted to the PTAB based on "privy" and "real parties-in-interest." Acorda did precisely so, urging the PTAB to deny institution because of ADROCA's "failure to name its investors and identify them as real parties-in-interest." Specifically, ADROCA failed to identify Hayman as a real party-in-interest. Acorda also argued that Hayman has a self-described fiduciary duty to its investors which further compels a finding that the investors are real parties-in-interest.
Celgene Corp. (Celgene), one of the eight biopharmaceutical companies targeted by ADROCA, has attempted to fight back in another way. It recently requested authorization to file a motion for sanctions against ADROCA in each of the four proceedings filed against it. Order, Coalition for Affordable Drugs v. Celgene Corp., case numbers IPR2015-01092, IPR2015-01096, IPR2015-01102, IPR2015-01103 (June 9, 2015). Celgene indicated that the basis of its motion for sanctions includes abuse of process. For the first time, the PTAB authorized a patent owner's motion for sanctions under 37 C.F.R. § 42.12. The current statute permits the PTAB to impose a sanction against a party for misconduct, including "[a]ny … improper use of the proceeding." 37 C.F.R. § 42.12(a)(7) (emphasis).
The PTAB has not yet instituted trial on any IPR petition filed by a hedge fund or taken a position with respect to whether such a petition constitutes an abuse of process. But the arrival of hedge funds to the PTAB has highlighted what seems to be an unintended consequence of opening the process up to anyone. We await further clarity from the PTAB on these very controversial issues, unless Congress curbs the ability of hedge funds to petition for IPR first.

, California (PressExposure) July 21, 2011 -- Spire, a new limited-time luxury hotel deals site, coined the term "flashcation," which is defined as a trip purchase made that's booked spontaneously because when a traveler finds an outrageously good deal. Evidence that the flashcation trend is picking up steam, a recent Spire poll found that nearly one-fourth of travelers wait until a good deal pops up in a destination they would enjoy before deciding where to go on vacation.
The multitude rising popularity of flash-sale travel sites lends to the flashcation movement and gives travelers looking for deep discounts more ways to find great travel deals, but it also presents a big question for many travelers: Is this really the best booking decision? To help travelers answer this question, Spire created A Traveler's Checklist for Booking Flashcations, an important guide for those who might be a bit wary of booking a limited-time deal.
"Consumers should use these pointers when shopping on flash-sale travel sites in order to get the best deal and avoid pitfalls," Jennifer Gaines, Spire's senior travel editor and resident flashcation expert, said. "Before hitting the buy button, travelers do need to make sure they understand the offer and realize that not all flash-sale sites deliver the same customer experience."
A Traveler's Checklist for Booking Flashcations
Make flash-sales part of your booking strategy. Travelers don't want to miss out on a fantastic deal, so if finding a deal is key, it's a good idea for travelers them to peruse offerings on limited-time deals sites. Oftentimes, travelers will be able to find a four- or five-star hotel at a heavily discounted rate.
Act quickly when you see a deal. The deals found on private flash-sale sites are so deeply discounted that availability is limited and sales are short. Travelers should do their due-diligence quickly when they find a tempting offer.
Be sure the deal checks out. Travelers often wonder whether or not the limited-time deal is really in fact a deal. Spire is the first and only flash-sale travel site to offer a Best Deal Guarantee as a promise that its deals really are at least 30% off the lowest comparable offer.
Double-check your travel timing. Because hotels often utilize flash-sale sites to fill rooms during off-peak travel periods, make sure it is a good time to travel to that area of the world. Traveling during low offseason comes with benefits such as fewer crowds and cheaper price tags, but travelers should weigh the pros and cons before they book.
Know if you can change your mind. It's important for travelers to keep in mind that most flash-sale travel sites do not offer refunds or allow cancellations of any kind, but policies do vary. Spire allows cancellations for 72-hours after booking, just in case it was an impulse buy. Expect something extra to boost the value. When travelers book through a private sale, they can often expect a little something extra to make the deal more alluring. Dig into the fine print to see what the offer includes and look for deals with a perk or two such as a room upgrades or a spa credits.
Consider the cost of getting there. Travelers shouldn't let spontaneity get in the way of doing all the research they need to do to make a confident buying decision. To make this easy for travelers, Spire included Kayak search functionality to check airfare in just one click.
Set your expectations. For hotels, the upside to offering limited-time deals on private sale sites is that they're able to fill rooms during slow times, so don't expect a deal to pop up during a busy holiday such as the Fourth of July or New Year's Eve.
Beware of the voucher system. When consumers purchase travel on a flash-sale site, they'll either get a guaranteed reservation like on Spire or receive a voucher to schedule their travel later. The voucher system requires travelers to make a booking by phone and often involves expirations and blackout dates, which can make it more difficult for consumers to redeem. their travel purchase.

Saint Paul's 10 Best Wine Bars
Have a glass and stay awhile. There's no reason to leave these Saint Paul wine bars.More Info >
A food truck, a building and a big idea
Built in 1927, the historic City House facility has served as a quiet yet lovely reminder of Saint Paul's history as a Mississippi River port city. Located along the edge of the river, City House offers a pavilion-style center, with views of the river and downtown Saint Paul.
For the past decade, people have tried to fill City House with restaurant and business ideas, but one stubborn hurdle stopped those ideas in their tracks. This hurdle, of course, was the unpredictable flooding of the Mississippi River that threatens the building. So how do you overcome an obstacle like this? Matty O'Reilly, co-owner of Red River Kitchen food truck and Republic restaurant in Minneapolis, said that he answered that question with another question, "Well, what if the entire investment was in something on wheels?"
Well, what if?
The Red River Kitchen offers a simple, effective, and fun answer to the question of flooding. With the entire kitchen located IN their food truck, the recently announced Red River Kitchen at City House will use the historic building for food orders, seating and popular lawn games that will be available to customers. When the time comes for flooding, O'Reilly said, "It's so easy, we just pack up the truck and drive away from the flood."
Aside from its nod to early Saint Paul days, O'Reilly said that he feels as though he's filling a need in the immediate area surrounding City House. While the successful co-owners (who have opened over 20 restaurants between the two of them) hope for an Aug. 8 opening, "a lot of little things need to fall into place still", O'Reilly said.
The drinks menu will feature beer, wine, cocktails and the food will be up to JD Fratzke (The Strip Club Meat & Fish and Saint Dinette). O'Reilly describes the food as, "a cross between what's been working well in our food truck and his own inspiration."
On handing over the menu to Fratzke's discretion, O'Reilly said, "I trust him, and I know it's gonna be great. It won't be a huge menu, but it's gonna be healthy, friendly, accessible, and delicious food; it's just what he does."
Bulldog restaurant co-owner Matt Lokowich unexpectedly passed away at the age of 49 over the weekend of July 16. Read the Pioneer Press article here. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and fellow foodies.

He grew up washing dishes and working at places like his father and grandfather's restaurant, the former Awada's on Plato Boulevard. "I was born into the restaurant business. It's in my blood," he said.

I would like to give him a cookbook focusing on deer and/or wild turkey to encourage him to learn to cook. I have already read "Kill It and Grill It" by Ted Nugent and also "Tag It and Bag It" by Rick Black. Good books but not quite what I am seeking. What other cookbooks would you recommend? Thanks in advance! :-)

Pensioners might soon be able to block nuisance cold calls thanks to new technology being researched by the Government.
Culture and Digital Economy Minister Ed Vaizey said the call-screening technology could be given free to those "at higher risk of financial damage and personal distress" from sales calls.
Companies also face fines of up to £500,000 if they continue to contact people who have registered to not receive marketing calls with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).
Complaints to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) reached 18,594 for live calls and 22,072 for automated messages between April and June this year.
In March, the ICO launched an investigation after the details of 3,000 elderly and vulnerable people were sold to undercover Daily Mail reporters by medical firms.
It was alleged that similar information was sold to cold-calling firms.
The announcement comes amid allegations last month that 92-year-old veteran poppy seller Olive Cooke died shortly after being overwhelmed by requests from charities.
Mrs Cooke received 267 charity letters in one month before she apparently took her own life in May, prompting almost 400 complaints about high-pressure techniques used by charities to The Fundraising Standards Board.
Mr Vaizey said: "While call blockers are available on the open market for consumers to purchase, the Government is exploring options to provide free devices to people identified as being at higher risk of financial damage and personal distress as a result of nuisance calls.
"Individuals can register their telephone number with the TPS and there is no charge for doing so.
"The Information Commissioner's Office enforces the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and has powers to issue monetary penalties of up to £500,000 against non-compliant firms."

How one couple thoughtfully transformed their tiny home into a wedding wonderland.
Whitney Leigh Morris knows a thing or two about making the most of small spaces. For the past five years, Whitney and her (now) husband Adam Winkleman have shared a 362-square-foot (!) cottage in Venice Beach, California with their two adopted beagles. Despite its tight floor plan, the cottage abounds with clean, modern style thanks to the couple's thoughtful, minimal design choices. So when the couple decided to get married, it only seemed natural that they do it close to home—as in their own backyard. By sprucing up the garden and back porch with new plants and accessories, transforming a wall into a blooming display, and turning to kitchen staples they already owned, Whitney and Adam proved that you don't have to live—or party—large to do it beautifully.
1. In lieu of rentals, use everyday pieces that also look elegant. The couple opted to use kitchen items they already owned—like marta old-fashioned glasses—in order to save money and avoid accumulating clutter afterwards. Then to tie all the accessories and spaces together seamlessly, they opted a brighter, more consistent color palette for their displays. "By acquiring versatile and timeless pieces for everyday use and enjoyment at home, we also ensured that we always have the essentials on-hand for special occasions like this one," said Whitney.
2. DIY drink stations always please guests. By setting up a simple bar, guests can come and mix at any moment throughout the party. One affordable, easy approach is to limit the options to a few crowd favorites. So for brunch, that might mean a mimosa bar with champagne flutes or mojitos at nighttime.
3. Let your ideas climb the walls. The couple transformed a blank exterior wall that can be seen on the porch, within the house, and from the garden where they said their vows with a collection of beaker wall vases. The display created a dramatic lounge space, while maintaining a simple, natural aesthetic. "It's one of our favorite sights at home," said Whitney. "Numerous guests commented on what a beautiful impact the vases had on the space, and were surprised to hear how affordable and easy it was to prepare the wall for the wedding."
4. Set up comfy seating to make guests feel at home. The casbah loveseat—which the couple have owned for three years—is large enough for them to lounge together ("we're both VERY tall!"), and yet still compact enough to fit on their tiny porch or back patio. "I love how the design is so clean and simple," said Whitney. By simply switching up the throw pillows and blankets for their wedding, they drastically changed the look and feel at a minimal cost. During the wedding, they positioned the sofa on the porch beneath the vertical garden, where it was constantly in use by guests and #StanleeStubs.
5. Set a romantic mood with ambient lighting. Garden stakes rise from the ground to light up a patio or garden in a warm, flattering glow. As do simple string lights, which can be left up long after the party ends.

Project 1: Front Porch
Since we aren't able to turn the existing "addition" into a dining room we've decided to take it back to a porch. We've already moved the door back into the original place but we still have to remove all the spray insulation and tin from it. I'm not looking forward to that task but it's the next project we'll be tackling, most likely Monday or Tueday.
|Front Porch as it is now.
Project 2: Chicken Coop
Since Macy and Buttercup wont stay in the pen and have become porch dogs, quite easily I might add, we have the chain link fence area to be able to use for a chicken run and we plan on building our chicken coop right next to it in the style of the one picture here.
|The chain link dog fence area will become the chicken run.
Hubby assures me that we already have all the materials and we will begin building this week!!! Yay!
Project 3: Greenhouse
Awhile back on craigslist I was fortunate enough to find a bunch of free storm windows and we had to store them at my mother-in-laws house until we moved. This week we finally got them moved over here and we plan to start building it very soon.
|The makings of a FREE greenhouse!
|Through all the moving we've had to do only one window got cracked.

– "Don't Flush Your Toilets" Mayor Says As Ohio Water Supply Freezes; Niagara Falls Frozen (ZeroHedge, Jan 9, 2014):
The nation may be slowly thawing from its deep freeze "polar vortex", but that is no comfort for tens of thousands of Ohians, whose water supply has literally frozen in the past day after the valves at the Avon Lake Municipal Utility plant were planted in ice, dramatically lowering the supply of water. NBC reports that "tens of thousands of customers in several counties in Ohio are facing a dramatic water shortage after the intake valves at a key plant that draws water from Lake Erie apparently froze amid the wild winter weather." As a result, the mayor of Avon had a modest proposal as a response to the caticestrophy: don't flush your toilets. At least there is toilet paper, which is more than Venezuela, and its 480% returning in 2013 stock market can say.

I started my new tri sprintec pill pack last week and missed that Thursday's, Friday's, and Saturday's. I realized that I missed them that Sunday and took the Saturday pill and Sunday pill that night. The next day I just took the Monday week 2 pill and didn't start a new packet. This week I have been taking my pills regularly but yesterday I had unprotected sex (five days from the Sunday I took two pills). I'm freaking out and have no idea what to do from here. Are my chances even higher to get pregnant?

Responses (1)
When you miss 3 pills in a row, you are supposed to start a new pack and use a condom for a week. I can't say you're protected or not protected. You probably should take a morning after pill, and keep taking your pills.

Delay Claims Software
Schedule Analyzer Enterprise Forensic™ (eForensic) is entirely seperate and different from our SA Pro and SAe packages. There is no overlap in functionality. The following modules are included as a single package,
Cataloger™ summarizes and catalogs all of your available schedules. These schedules may be in XER or XML file transfer formats or they may already be installed in the enterprise database. Count and summarize all major characteristics of every schedule like this sample report
Quickly list the Critical Path of any schedule and that of all attached Baseline Schedules without the need to unattach the Baseline Schedules. Create this report in seconds.
List all resources in the database and the schedules using them along with their committed period as in this Labor Resource report. We also produce similar reports for Nonlabor and Material resources as separate reports. Now you can be sure of getting every schedule that can possibly interact with your schedule.
Compare P3 to P6™ performs a source comparison of your P3 and P6 schedules, organizes, and reports on all technical differences. Don't analyze a converted schedule until you understand how good the conversion really was. See this startling example of the analysis of a simple P3 import into P6v7.
Conformer™ will check to see if the dates and status in your schedule are not superseded by later changes in other schedules. Don't perform any analyses until you are sure you are using the correct status. Here is an example of the output.
Corrupt Files Checker™ checks your schedule files for important errors that the P6 Project Integrity Check does not. Corrupt Files investigates 20 different P6 database tables for logical errors. Here is a sample report
Date Calculator™ computes the differences between any two dates in calendar days, weekdays, and workdays. Date Calculator is to a Scheduler what a '10-Key' is to an Accountant.
Half-Step™ will create a half of a schedule update separating the status changes from the logic changes. Investigate what would have happened without logic changes!
Investigator™ will research any P6 schedule to identify the hidden audit information what was added to the database beginning with P5.
Out-of-Sequence Report™ documents your schedule's out-of-sequence progress in a way that helps you to begin monitoring and documenting your delays and disruptions. We think that is illistrative to show you what P3, P6 and our Out-of-Sequence Report would look like for the same activity.
The best part of this analysis is the final statistics section where we compare the number of activities that started out-of-sequence to the total of started activities. We also present the average period of this early start. If a significant portion of the work started earlier than the schedule allowed and if this early start was of a significant amount of time, then one can reasonably assume that the schedule did not adequately describe the actual workplan. Can you think of a better, simpler way to present this argument than this?
Schedule Rebuilder™ changes copies of later schedules into ones that are accurately and objectively modified to reflect what the schedule would have indicated as the current status for any given data date.
Advanced Schedule Analysis! Adjust your new As-Planned schedule for As-Built durations and logical early starts. Now you can have it all; an un-statused schedule that reflects actual activity durations as well as mirroring the As-Built logic of actual early starts and activity overlap. Creating the As-Built Logic (hard) as well as the As-Built Durations (easy) is the secret of creating schedule that closely resemble the As-Built Schedule, only with Total Float and a Critical Path!
Related Schedules™ lists every inter-schedule relation and summarizes the extent of the overlap. It also explains how the particular issue may affect your schedule import. View a sample report here.
Trace Logic™ lists your relationships including internal data that you have never seen before. Afterwards, you can instantly trace the logic from any activity in an intuitive, interactive outline format. Here is a sample report.
Workday Calculator™ reads your schedule and builds a database of workday numbers for each day for each calendar used in your schedule. Convert dates to workday numbers and back again.

readlink(2) BSD System Calls Manual readlink(2)
readlink, readlinkat -- read value of a symbolic link
#include <unistd.h> ssize_t readlink(const char *restrict path, char *restrict buf, size_t bufsize); ssize_t readlinkat(int fd, const char *restrict path, char *restrict buf, size_t bufsize);
readlink() places the contents of the symbolic link path in the buffer buf, which has size bufsize. Readlink does not append a NUL character to buf. The readlinkat() system call is equivalent to readlink() except in the case where path specifies a relative path. In this case the symbolic link whose content is read relative to the directory associated with the file descriptor fd instead of the current working directory. If readlinkat() is passed the special value AT_FDCWD in the fd parameter, the current working directory is used and the behavior is identical to a call to
The call returns the count of characters placed in the buffer if it suc- ceeds, or a -1 if an error occurs, placing the error code in the global variable errno.
readlink() will fail if: [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix. [EFAULT] Buf extends outside the process's allocated address space. [EINVAL] The named file is not a symbolic link. [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from the file sys- tem. [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links are encountered in translating the pathname. This is taken to be indicative of a looping symbolic link. [ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeded {NAME_MAX} charac- ters, or an entire path name (possibly expanded by a symbolic link) exceeded {PATH_MAX} characters. [ENOENT] The named file does not exist. [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory. In addition to the errors returned by the readlink(), the readlinkat() may fail if: [EBADF] The path argument does not specify an absolute path and the fd argument is neither AT_FDCWD nor a valid file descriptor open for searching. [ENOTDIR] The path argument is not an absolute path and fd is neither AT_FDCWD nor a file descriptor associated with a directory.

Stories have reached Britain from The Orient of a new chocolate bar that will soon be making its way over to our shores, calling itself the Chinese Wispa.
Cadbury introduced the Wispa way back in 1981 before and instantly it became a signature favourite with the nation's fatties. In 2003 it was discontinued and replaced by yet another variety of Dairy Milk. However, in 2008, after many important and successful campaigns, including one where a man lathered himself in chocolate and set himself on fire in front of Buckingham Palace, it was announced the Wispa would return. Such was the jubilation that the world was instantly made better and everything has been spiffing since.
Now though, the crafty Chinese have announced they have made their own version of the beloved and very British chocolate bar. Wispas already come in various forms, including: the bog standard aerated bar; the Wispa gold; the Wispa biscuits and the Wispa duo, but none so far have included soy sauce, shredded dog or Communism.
Early reports are sketchy as to what the new bar may include, with minimal information being leaked by the manufacturing company insider, though bonafide British choco scoffers have already expressed their displeasure at the thought of a foreign immigrant taking our jobs.
"I for one won't be trying it", said Madge, a retired racist, 83 of Dorset. "British chocolate should be eaten by British people. We don't need the Chinks [SIC] coming over here thinking they can do the job better than us. Cadbury make the best stuff and you know why that is? They're English".
We declined to tell the old bag that Cadbury are owned by Kraft who are American but fuck her anyway.

I was reading an article which lead to another and to another and came across this article on Patheos. It seems nowadays there is this whole thing about being hard polytheists or atheist theists or looking at Gods as abstracts rather than sentient beings. There seems to be discussion that turns into mudslinging, arguing and every other juvenile behaviour you could think of.
Are we really at a point now where those who worship/work with the Gods as sentient beings think less of those who work with them as abstracts and vice versa? The whole point of Paganism (and do correct me if I'm wrong) is that it allows flexible and creative thinking when it comes to our own personal spirituality. Since when has it become that one must follow in with the masses and believe as others do or we're wrong? When has it come that if one believes the Gods are real, then those who don't are wrong? When has it come that we all spend time attacking each other over things that, quite frankly, are no one else's business but our own.
Yes, I know by putting it out there in social media we invite comment and discussion but how does that devolve to criticism and mudslinging? Just because some one allows for comments on their blogs, does that automatically mean you can attack what they believe because it is different from your own path? If a person is brave enough to share their journey, I think some respect for that choice is in order. I've read blogs that I've not necessarily agreed with but I've never posted something hateful or inflammatory simply because I can. I respect that person's belief and their right to have that belief and post about it if they choose to. It is not my right to be critical and push my version of right or correct on them.
Lately it seems that everywhere Pagans are at each other over the most ridiculous things. Kind of makes me glad I am not on Tumblr or Facebook groups that do this. I have my little corner of the social media world with my blogs and I am quite happy there, no need on my end to go out there and start trouble....

#16 The Forest Witch
I've been making steps on my Forest – encouraged by The Forest Witch. I have planted seeds of Hawthorn and Blackthorn, patiently waiting for them to awake from their slumber. I have seeds stratifying in the fridge of Juniper and Rowan. I have been exploring what it means to be a caretaker of such a space, and I also think that I am beginning to understand where my path – both magically and mundane – is meant to go.
I've also purchased The Green Man Tree Oracle (image of one card above) because it speaks to me of the forest and it is beautifully presented, as a mediation tool for my Herbal Altar project (more to come on that) it will be most helpful. I'm probably considered barmy for trying to create an English style forest in the middle of SA where the summers are hotter than Hades and barely conducive to growing anything half the time (although times are a-changing, autumn and winter were/are very wet this year). But I feel this is something I must do.
The Forest Witch stands among the trees holding her basket of fruit, hand stretched toward the Owl. Wisdom and strength within the natural world; this is what I see when I look at this card. She holds her basket of wildcrafted edibles, her look natural and at ease with the environment around her. She is but one of many spirits who wonder the woods, who experience the energy of the Old Ones and she is not afeared of their darkness, she sees the balance of that darkness with their light and she accepts that she is a steward of the forest, her soul lives there with all the creatures and beings that walk the winding paths of bramble, soil and herb.
#4 The Cauldron Witch
I'm making inroads to a more healthy me – baby steps. I try to drink fruit juice every day (organic if possible) and eat at least one piece of fruit. Come rain or shine I also try to walk down to the mailbox to get the mail. It's a process. I've been cleaning too, trying to work out what is necessary and what is not.
I saw a Crow today, beautiful big beast it was. I love crows – and on the card the Witch has her own crow on her cauldron and a toad on her shoulder. She drinks of her own brew, happy to imbibe with her own creations. I've always wanted a toad skull. I find the energy of a toad interesting and intend on getting one to go with my crow skull. I think the message of this card is to begin to work the magic and medicine of the toad and crow, as well as the magic and medicine of my own making. It's time to explore my knowledge and begin to live the life I truly wish to have.

The Winter Solstice
|The Oak, still green leaves adorn her.
The Winter Solstice has come and gone and I never really felt quite like it was truly that time of year. I look outside and my Oak is slowly changing, but it still has a lot of green leaves on it. There isn't that stillness that comes with true winter. The tree holds it leaves and more than anything it is telling me that although it is cold and wet, winter is truly not here just yet. I think it could be the absence of autumn. We had maybe a week of autumn like weather before the rain and cold set in. I would say May was perhaps the coldest and wettest in my entire memory of living in SA. There was no middle ground and so the natural world around me seems to be confused and still keeping to its schedule of shedding and dormancy.
|The Oak, still leaved.
I think the greatest confusion is for me, I don't feel the Sabbats, not truly, not as so many others do, sometimes I think I honour them by rote more so than true, heartfelt dedication. I think it is because my path is changing so much, I am not sure how much of what was will still be. Samhain did not present me with a thinning veil; I still don't think it has. To be fair, it could also be because I was incredibly ill during that time, but I almost feel like my spirit is adapting to the new direction of my path and so the old may not remain relevant or correct as I move along. I still have my Sabbat dinners with my family, this is a tradition I started and very much enjoy still.
|Cotoneaster plump with berries.
I think the Green Path shows me that the body, the spirit knows when the seasonal changes truly happen. Winter is beginning to show her teeth, but I do not think she has reached her zenith. She has not given bite to the outdoors. There is no barrenness that talks of the months of dormancy, she has not reached her skeletal fingers out and plucked the last of the autumn cloak away. She lets the sun shine to nourish the plants before they gather their warmth around them for the dew and frost. The Old Ones of the Green have not placed upon themselves their cloaks, ready to face the coming cold, they still breathe life into flowers and give birth to colour, not ready to relinquish their domain to the chill of the Wintered Old Ones.
|Stinging Nettle beginning to flower.
As my stone fruits slowly gift the ground with their leaves and my oak changes from green to gold to red, I look and see the Chinese Latern naked and bare, brushed by the winds. Those same winds cannot dislodge the leaves of the Oak; it is stubborn and stalwart in its strength and silence moving toward the darkening months. It holds true, knowing it has not yet come time to slowly gather in the dryads and sleep until spring kisses it awake. She holds firm, showing me that there is still colour to be had before the night of winter comes upon us. The mornings are crisp and my breath is mist as it expels from my lungs, still, some days I can take a cup of tea and sit on the verandah, enjoying the slight warmth before it fades away.

Just Cos
Mmmm delicious!
Images from Here.
New & Growing
Little inroads in the garden, I've finally been able to get some banes to grow. I was beginning to doubt that I could. I am feeling quite positive about it now!
This is my Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade), one up so far, hoping for more!
My Black Henbane, two little seedlings, although the big one is the only one really clear.
I finally managed to purchase a Yew tree! So excited as I've been feeling pulled toward this tree for some time now.
I also purchased an Elder, what witch's garden would be complete without one?
Green/Hedge Witch Altar Project
I've come to understand something about myself. My road, my journey is the Green Path. I am a Green Witch and I am a Hedge Witch, I firmly base myself in the natural world, I am not ceremonial, I am not even mildly ritualised in my practices. I work intuitively and when the mood moves me. I am deeply rooted in the country around me; I am deeply rooted to the green within me. I try to emulate this in my world around me by creating and growing beautiful gardens filled with herbs, flowers and trees, the sorcery of the Green. I adapt to suit and I change with the seasons. I am fluid; I am ever growing and before lay twisted, gnarled roads – powerful, infinite and waiting to be explored. They are obscured by the bramble, thorns prick my skin as I move forward, reminding me that I am climbing toward a wild place; I accept this and let it bleed because it feeds the earth and nourishes the spirits. I journey to the Otherworld and meet with those who have wisdom for me, those who know I am there to learn, to grow, to change. Is it a feral nature within me? I don't know, I've yet to fully embrace this part of myself but I know that when I do, the spirits of the Green will welcome me and enfold me in their embrace.
I haven't yet fully realised this in my life. I sat wondering what I could do to firmly show my commitment to this path. I looked to my altar, and although it is lovely, it doesn't truly represent the path I walk. I don't have the things of the wild, green world that remind me of my path. I want to change this; I want my altar to truly reflect the journey I am taking. My project is to take the time to explore this all further and to create the altar I want now that I have completed the last of my Tafe for this semester and can breathe easy. I have always said that your personal altar should reflect your path, your practice and your beliefs yet mine doesn't and it has become glaring obvious that I need to remedy that. I'm not sure what will end up on my altar. I think subconsciously I knew this change would be coming sooner or later; I have a lovely little corked bottle of herbs, a charm or talisman if you will – my own little herbal witch bottle. I felt inspired to make it one day – would be a few months ago now. It had no real purpose, but I feel it was there to remind me what was important; my pursuit of an Advanced Herbalism diploma and the pursuit of finding the Green.
|My altar as it was.
I think the first thing I am going to make is an altar candle that encapsulates the Green. Earth herbs and barks, green dye and scented with earthy, mossy essential oils, it will be the first representation of my new road. My 'earth' bowl (representative of the elements) might be changed to natural terracotta and filled with salt and herbs also representing Earth. I'm not sure how I will address the other elements – likely patchouli incense stick and leaving the water as is, I feel the elements are important to represent, however you do it and prefer it on your altar; beyond that, I think that things will be added as new revelations and journeys open to me. I may keep my flying ointment on there as well; this is representative of the hedge witch in me. I don't know, I think this is going to be a long term project that will grow with each new discovery, each new step along the Green road. That is the thing about the Green road; you never know what will lie ahead until you come across it.
|The little Herbal Witch Bottle.
I am wondering about putting images from my decks that have the Green feel. I have a few – there is the Tarot of the Secret Forest, Wildwood Tarot, Druidcraft Tarot, Druid Plant Oracle, Faeries Oracle and Heart of Faerie oracle (and that isn't even the complete list of decks I have). And I just bought the Green Man Oracle – couldn't help myself. All of those decks are deeply rooted in the earth, the Tarot of the Secret Forest is a recent acquisition and quite lovely, certainly a deck a gardener and green witch can connect to. I'll have to get new ink for my printer though…..
I wrote about it previously, one of my projects – perhaps the largest of them – is to create my own forest on my block of land. It is not a short term project, it will likely be long term, lifelong I would imagine. I am going to be planting trees of Yew, Oak, Elder, Ash, Maple, Rowan, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Juniper, Lucerne, Gum and more. I will be planting herbs to grow wild such as Mullein, Mugwort, Patchouli, Sage, Thyme and more, I will add bulbs to bring forth a carpet of colour and scent, flowers of Snapdragon, Foxglove, Daisy and more will adorn the space bringing together scent and feeling so powerfully magical that it will echo on the landscape for a lifetime to come. This is not just for me, or a gratuitous ode to my green path, it is something that will sustain the landscape, inviting in insects, birds and more. It will stand as a new habitat hopefully growing and changing over time. It will stand for the Spirits and Old Ones, a doorway, a green oasis.
|My altar as it is now.
My altar stands rather empty now, the candle on it - not the candle I am going to make, it is the one I made previously to connect with earth energies but the one I make will be similiar. I am passionate about this and I know that as winter turns to spring, my forest will begin to grow. My altar will show my path of green and hedge, my life will begin to change to be what I want it to be. I will greet, with joy, the completion of my Advanced Herbalism certificate, knowing I am one step further toward my dream. I will continue to craft for my business and begin the baby workings of a new dream – to create a small plant nursery. With time I hope this is my life, as witch, herbalist and nursery owner, writer, teacher and diviner. There is a reality to change to the way I wish it and I slowly, hesitantly take the steps to lead me there.

Book Review: The Herbal Lore of Wise Women and Wortcunners by Wolf D Storl
He looks at herbalism from many different angles and challenges the reader to think beyond the 'medical' and look to the spiritual when working with plants. He presents the argument that our ancestors (including the Neolithic) were very much in tune with the spirit of the plant and therefore acted more intuitively when gathering plant material. He also argues the benefits of whole plant medicine instead of the isolating of one particular gene or element to treat a person; the book presents the idea that holistically speaking, the whole is better when dealing with herbs for medicine – a view shared by most herbalists. Some herbs to this day have not been able to be scientifically reduced to the one compound or chemical that makes it work.
He presents the idea that the wise women and wortcunners of old were not just herbalists in their own right, or just botanists and pharmacologists but also shamanic practitioners and keepers of the occult knowledge about the powerful properties of herbs and plants. He delves into the world of shamanism, looking at how ancient peoples interacted with the natural world around them and the abundance of plant life. Plants are an important part of any life, whether it is for the shamanic practitioner, indigenous person or the individual using them to flavour food – which he also addresses in his chapter on medicine as food. He encourages connecting with the plant and giving offerings in honour of the material it provides. Today many herbalists who are also Pagan, Shamans or shamanistic in their approach to working with plant energy will do this, whether the offering is of a personal nature or simply something to feed and help the plant grow.
His analogy of a modern herbalist was not one I would agree with as a herbalist myself, Storl says; "It appears these herbalists are a strange, secretive, unconventional lot. To the anthropologist, they have much in common with the shamans, medicine men, and witch doctors of the primitive societies that the academics study. Often they dress funny, live in unusual places, have odd habits (such as not cutting their hair - "hair is an antenna with which to pick up vibrations"), eat a strange (often vegetarian) diet, are "religious" but not "churchy", do not drink strong spirits and the like" (pg 28), most herbalists tend to wear white coats and work within a clinical scope. I believe he was referring to herbalists who still observe the traditional ways and are not looking to be clinical or medical in their approach.
Storl explains how to become a herbalist today, looking at the different areas such as collecting the material, distillation, administering the medicine and more. He also encourages people to become gardeners, to understand the cycle of the plants and to know what it is they are using which is common sense to me. A part I found particularly interesting was the chapter exploring herbs as dyes and fabrics. He of course discusses hemp as a material and the succession of local dyes and plant material being lost as an artform as more glamorous colours (saffron to mention one) came in from other countries.
He also discusses the Banes and their place in herbal history, the information is quite rounded and full given the subject manner. There are a couple of historical recipes used in context to explain the use of Banes such as the Solanaceae family, Henbane, Hemlock and Aconite (to name a few). He discusses the lore of the witch and the place it plays in history and even to this modern day. He touches on a lot of different areas, looking into mythology to share ideas on some of the more poisonous herbs, he mentions them being part of Hecate's garden, understanding banes in her role as Goddess of the Crossroads, the Otherworld, Witches and Magic.
Overall it's a fantastic book, one I would recommend anyone with an interest in herblore to acquire. In some areas Storl does get quite scholarly, especially when he gets into etymology of words, but generally it is an enjoyable book with something for everyone. If you're a student of history, mythology or herblore, I would say make the investment because I don't think you'll be sorry for it.

My Forest
I'm a bit of a dreamer, although most of the time I am grounded in practical reality, I do like to let myself wonder to far off places in my mind, imagining what I could do, where I could go and what I would love to see. I am a follower of the Green Path and I work every day to try and build on that, create places around my home that invite in the wild spirits and those unnamed who walk through the natural world. Lately I've been feeling as though I am being pulled toward another ambition within the Green Path. To create something larger and lasting, something that will live beyond my lifetime and flourish, offering a haven for the spirits, the Unnamed Ones and the wildlife that lives in my small corner of SA.
|This is my block, all the way down to the second shed.
I am going to create a forest – or at least the small beginnings of one. Before you think I've cracked my head on something hard, this is a long term project, perhaps not even fully realised in its potential in my lifetime but I am willing to commit myself to trying. My brother had a block of land just round the corner from our house, but since he no longer wants it, he is selling it to me (reduced rate – got to love brothers) instead. It's about an acre and a half I think, and perhaps one day I will build my own house on it (the part not used for forest), but for now, one half is going to be dedicated to my plan to create a forest. I've been busily organising and purchasing trees, some I will grow myself. I have right now, an English Elm, an English Oak (babies from our own Oak), a Yew and an Elder, although the Elder I may still plant up here at home with our other fruit trees. I have on layby at the nursery an Ash and a Norwegian Maple. I am planning to grow Hawthorn, Blackthorn (Sloeberry), Rowan, Juniper, possibly Snowberry and likely more Elder. I also have a bit of a dream to put a little cabin in the middle with a pergola covered in purple Wisteria.
Yes, I really am a dreamer. But I am a Green Witch; I want to create a lovely place full of mystery and wonder. I think about adding bulbs like bluebells (I am in love with English meadows that are filled with them), ferns, herbs and flowers. It will be a magical place all my own where I can just revel in the wonders of nature. Will it work? Who knows? Half the plants aren't really practical for my climes but I have hope. We've had a particularly wet May and it looks like June will be following in that vein so the ground will be wonderfully wet and nourished. If this continues on into the spring season, the trees will get an excellent start. I'm tempted to also add in a pond – but that might be pushing it. The heat we get in summer – the darn thing would dry up!
It will very much be a long term project – this is something that I will be committed to for the rest of my life as long as I am able. A living testament to my commitment to creating a green world, of giving back and inviting in wildlife so that the issues created by today's consumerist society can be battled. Plus who wouldn't love to have their own wood or forest created by their hand? I am nervous because it is such a large thing to take on, I have to pace myself and not do to much at once, little by little I think is the best way to approach this. I am excited though because I feel like this is what I am meant to do, even if it just for my own personal enjoyment, I am creating something natural and beautiful that will hopefully remain long after I'm gone….
The fun part is thinking up a name – every wood should have its own name.

Card #4 The Cauldron Witch
"The Cauldron Witch reveals that you can change your fate through your intuition, and physically by eating healthily and avoiding toxins. By reconising where fate is lending you a kindly hand and where your own efforts are best exerted, you have a perfectly wholesome recipe for mind, body and spiritual success.
Your dedication to your life plans and ambitions brings changes, growth and happiness. You may be tested but through effort you will overcome difficulty."
The second card I am working with is the Cauldron Witch. I like what it has to say, and strangely, it almost ties in with the Forest Witch card. I am trying to move forward in a healthier, committed lifestyle in all areas. Getting ahead of my Tafe was my one concern and now that I am almost there, I can take a breath and look at other areas of my life. I am going to have to get back to it, the assignments won't write themselves (if you're a witch there should be some magical law that allows it hehe), but I am learning to pace myself – especially if I want to complete my Advanced Herbalism diploma.
I am very excited about the prospect of change and happiness. One should never scoff at those blessings. Change is happening in my life right now, and although only on a small scale, it is still a good thing.
I may do an oracle or tarot reading in the coming days to further clarify what this could mean.
Card #16 The Forest Witch
It's been awhile since I've done anything with the Witch cards, but I've decided to give them another go and move forward with this project. I had every intention of continuing on with it, but got quite caught up with mundane things. I will have an update the Silver Moon Witch card but my new card is The Forest Witch. I actually have two cards I'm working with, they both presented themselves to me and I will write about that one also.
The Forest Witch meaning is "The Forest Witch is a reminder that a little fear can help you keep to the safer path. Enemies, dangers, poisons and demons lurk in the forest's foliage. There, the clear reasoning in your subconscious is blocked by the sunlight.
A ray of light illuminates a situation that has cast you into delusional darkness. Your way ahead becomes bright and clear through news you hear. Career, love life and travel prospects are about to change with one letter, telephone call, email or meeting."
Isn't that interesting? I must protest the delusional darkness part, I'm not particularly delusional about anything – that takes a level of commitment I just don't have. The second part sounds positive; I'm interested in seeing if that unfolds but this time, I think the card is indicating something else that is going on in my life. I've been slowly moving toward creating wonderful things in my life, one of which is a forest (see where this going?) of my own with different trees and plants and ground covers. I have a block of land, or will have once the paperwork is done and here I am going to plant plenty of trees, I am even considering creating a hedgerow with Hawthorn, Elder, Blackberry and perhaps Rosehips – although I think the proper plant name for rosehip is Rosa canina or Dog Rose – not even sure if I could get it in Australia, something to check into.
Anyway, I think the Forest Witch card is indicating that this dream can be a reality – probably not one that will properly flourish or realise in my lifetime, but I figure I can get it started and see how I go. Although I know for sure the Oak most definitely will reach its pinnacle way past my lifetime – they are especially slow growing. I will do a blog post about the trees I've selected and the block of land shortly.
The Forest Witch has also come at a rather opportune moment as I also begin to come to some realisations about my spiritual journey, all in all I think this card is here at the right time, working with it will surely be an interesting experience.
