Starring: Steve Martin, John Candy | Director: John Hughes | Producers: John Hughes, Bill Brown, Michael Chinich, Neil A. Machlis | Writer: John Hughes | Released By: Paramount
"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is director John Hughes' masterpiece—much deeper and more complex than his earlier credits, including "Sixteen Candles," "Weird Science," or "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (which he also wrote the screenplay for).
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles utilizes the age-old theme of two decidedly different people becoming inseparable from each other and learning to get along. Those two people are Neal Page, a stuffy, reserved marketer played by Steve Martin, and Del Griffith, a blabbermouth "shower curtain ring" salesman who won't leave Neal alone, delightfully played by John Candy.
In an early scene, Del accidentally takes Neil's cab in New York City, preventing him from getting to the airport in time for his flight—which is delayed anyway. At the airport, they run into each other again; it turns out they are both riding the same plane to Chicago. Neil just wants to get home for Thanksgiving turkey with his family, but it is never quite established what Del wants to go to Chicago for. Del emphatically apologizes for the cab incident, going a little overboard while doing so. We cut to the interior of the airplane, where Neil, fed up with the airline attendant, proclaims, "First you delay me, then you bump me. I can't wait to see what's next!" You guessed it; he ends up sitting right next to Del, who never shuts up for the length of the flight. This quickly establishes Del as a lonely guy who's always looking for friends but can't find many because of his too-friendly personality.
As it turns out, the two are unable to land in Chicago because of a blizzard, and end up in Wichita. With all the hotels in the area seemingly booked, good-natured Del offers to have Neil spend the night with him at an inner-city hotel whose owner might give them a deal because "I sold him some shower curtain rings a couple years ago; he owes me one." This sets the stage for a group of hilarious misadventures as the two try for days to get Neil back home.
On the outside, the film appears to be merely a comedy about two guys trying to get home for Thanksgiving dinner; but if you look closely, you'll find that it's really a very in-depth character study about acceptance, or learning to find the best in someone and reaching out a helping hand to someone who needs one.
I won't give away the ending, where all is revealed about Del, but I assure you it will leave you wondering why a film this heartfelt received an R rating. The rating is primarily for one scene, which can be easily fast-forwarded, in which Neil loses his grip on things at a car rental center and spews out a chorus of F-words which are used to describe every car he mentions. Very unbecoming in such a well-done film—but like I said: parents, screen this film and you'll know right where to press the fast-forward button. Or even better—tape an edited TV version. Other than this incident, there is a little mild profanity as Neil and Del struggle to overcome their differences, but nothing as bad as National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
This film is a movie to be treasured, really. Although it's labeled R, it has so much great stuff in it that it deserves to be shown to all ages, provided that the minor offensive moments are edited out.

Seasonal depression
In our country from a few to several percent of the total population manifestst - seasons' dependent chenges in mood, level of social and proffesional activity, dietary preferences, sleep disorders. Seasonal changes in day lenght and the intensity of sunlight seem to have a major role. Sunlight is the strongest synchroniser of biological rhytms of a man. Its action may cause the time shift of circadian rhytms such as :
- vigil sleep
- the temperature of the body
- rhytm of certain hormones secretion etc.
As a result the body is able to adapt to seasonal changes in light. It seems that the impairment of endogenous mechanisms of adaptation plays a major role in the pathogenesis of psychopathological syndrome called also a seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or winter depression.
It is charactrised by:
- vigil arrhytmias-a dream in the form of excessive sleepness
- excessive appetite for sweets
- a reduction in the basic mood
- a decrease in physical activity
- impaired intellectual performance
These signs disappear with the increase of the intensity of sunlight and lenghtening of the photoperiod. This observation became the basis for the use of bright artificial light parameters similar to sunlight or phototherapy for th treatment of winter depression.
Recent studies shown that the use of phototherapy significantly relieves the symptoms of SAD, or even cause their complete disappearance. Compare to pharmacotherapy we can highlight :
- the economic benefits
- the comfort of this method
- suitable for each age group
- significant narrowing of contradications
Epidemiological studies show that 2-5% of the general population suffers from SAD-with 70%-80% being women. SAD is therefore a social problem, especially that some people remain without any therapeutic assistance and some of them are forced to use antidepressants.

Crisistorical analysis
Brave Newbies founder Matias Otero traces the character history of Toasty Biggums, who was a leader of Brave's coup and is now attempting to blackmail Pandemic Legion.
Welp, there goes the theory that the Brave coup was entirely due to personality defects in the leadership team.
Still, a bit more planning on the part of the instigators would not have gone astray.
Crisis over
Seems that BRAVE has resolved it's leadership spill by initiating a counter spill to restore the old executor corporation.
I guess that's evidence that an external alliance wasn't responsible for the destabilisation, since you'd expect them to retain control and keep leeching members away.
Of course, there remains the possibility that there was someone pulling the strings, who decided to stop in order to keep BRAVE going rather than exsanguinate them (or was stopped by a rival spy ring), but that kind of thinking will just send you mad so let's leave that alone.
Faith inhumanity
I would be disappointed if none of the people responsible for the collapse of Brave Newbies were CFC spies or agents provocateur.
Bitterly disappointed.

BENEFICIAL REFLECTION IN BRIEF (BRB) By Abu Maryam Ibn Is'haq (Abumaribi)
Allah (SWT) send down the Qur'ân as a book to study, and Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) as it's teacher to teach and show mankind and jinn the way of light and as a criterion to know the right and wrong, in order for the readers and those who reflect on it to benefit: "…Thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, laws, etc.) in detail for the people who reflect." [Qur'ân 10:24 (Mohsin Khan-Translation)]
Few of these illustrations has been briefly noted so that we may benefit from its reflection. And this is just 'A Tips of an Iceberg':
Allah ta'ala created mankind and jinn, that we may be tested which of us is best in Deeds;
The All-Provider bestow wealth on some people for them to support the poor in their Needs;

But successful are those that follow their belief with the performance of righteous Deeds;
Allah has enjoin Zakat and Sadaqa on the Muslims, so that we can get rid of our human Greed;
Allah has made the day clear, that we may seek His bounty and in order to get food to Feed;

Allah has made trade permissible, in order for people to carry out their business on Halal Deal;
Allah has provided the Qur'an for us as a reminder, that the intellect may benefit from it when we Read;
Therein is a guidance for mankind and also served as a cure for the disease of all kinds to be Healed;
And for those that mind when they are reminded on the guidance, the return is for their heart to be Sealed;
The best book for mankind to ponder over and model their lifestyle on, so that Allah may be Pleased;
And with Him are the keys of the unseen (hidden), and He knows whatever is on the land and in the Sea;
He provide sustenance for mankind, jinn and others from the resources available in the land and Sea;
And from the air, land and sea, Allah made available eatable things so that mankind can use as Meat;
He has prescribed goodly words for us in communication and also peaceful words when we Greet;
He has allowed Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha for Muslims that we may celebrate as the days of our Feast;
That the children are to be humble and kind to their parents, as they enjoy when they were Kids
Allah ta'ala granted us many things from the creatures that provide services to mankind for Free;
Allah tell us; the deaf, dumb and blind are not respectively equal to those who hear, speak and See;
The Prophet (ﷺ) told us how amazing the affairs of a believer is, for he always live a life of Ease;
When he receive good, he is grateful and when afflicted with Calamity, he endure patiently as if in Bliss;
Allah has declared some injunctions for us in his book, so that we may be guided and take Heed;
And our Aqeedah is to follow the injunctions of Allah so that we can be rightly guided in our Deen;
Allah is the knower of all things and with him are the keys in the matter of the unseen and the Seen;
Allah has declared Shaytan to be an enemy to the believers, so that we may be aware of his Cheat;
In order that no one will have an excuse on the Day of Judgement of being unaware and to take Heed;
Allah sent messengers to mankind so that we may follow their footstep and as role model in Deeds;
Allah created the pen for human being to write so that the words that are written can be Read;
Allah created all things on Earth and in Heaven for the men of understanding to see and Think;
For when He decided to create anything His command is just to declare to it "Be", and it shall Be;
Anyone that abide by the religious duties of Islam, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they Grieve;
Our Lord! Make Islam easy for us, as it's You alone we worship and you are sufficient for our Needs;
When we are faced with difficulties and pain, and we need someone to help, it's You alone we Seek;
And these wordings is noted from the Qur'an and Hadith to serve as an admonition for us in Brief.
Thus, Allah send the Qur'an to us that we may read, take admonition and be guided, and also for the men of understanding to take heed: "Nay, verily, this (Quran) is an admonition, So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!" [Qur'ân 74:54-55 (Muhsin Khan-Translation)]

text: DigitalWhat Price A Truly Social Media?By Shea Bennett|May 7, 2009 ShareBy Shea Bennett|May 7, 2009 ShareCurrently we are privy to a large amount of speculation about the future of the newspaper industry. Some pundits (and editors) are suggesting the only way that print can survive in anything like its existing format is to start charging for online content. Advertising, they say, as a consistent form of revenue, is not enough. This perception would seem timely; News Corp just announced a 97 per cent slump in profits in its newspaper division.Others feel that charging for what has, with one notable exception, always been free content would actually have the opposite effect for the industry, and likely expedite its demise. The Guardian is currently running a poll asking their readers if they would pay to read newspapers online (any newspapers – not just The Guardian). At the time of writing, a commanding 87.4% say they would not.In September 2005, The New York Times premiered its TimesSelect subscription model for part of its online content. The service was priced at $7.95 per month, or $49.95 per annum (while being free to existing print subscribers and students), and was a resounding failure. People hated it. Others subscribed, took the content, and then made it freely available to all. So is the way of the internet. Two years later, the Times announced it would stop charging for access.I have to admit, I side with the majority on this issue. Unless it is priced at an absolute pittance – and I mean literally pennies a day – paying for newspaper content as is is not something I can see myself doing. Others, it appears, would agree.Earlier today on Twitter, I proposed another solution. People don't like the idea of paying for online news, especially when alternative (and equally valid) sources will always be available. But would they pay to be part of that newspaper's community?Moreover, if their subscription to that community meant they played a part in shaping and creating the news, would they perhaps be willing to part with a little bit more?What Is Social Media? The definition continues to expand and blur as old media adapts to the new (begrudgingly so in many cases). But the key word remains social. Reading a newspaper is frustratingly one-way. Sure, they might have a comment system bolted on at the end, but it's rare that the writer of that article will respond to any statements made by their readers. Indeed, half the time I wonder if they read them at all.It's a commonly-held adage of 'the future' that we will individually choose the news we wish to read, but that's been a reality for decades. You read The Sun, or you read The Times. You read BBC online, or you read Fark. Or both, or all of these things, and more, but the essential concept is you are making that choice.Blogs and online magazines such as the The Huffington Post and Slate are well-regarded and have played no small part in advancing, if not the death, then certainly the immediate crisis in print media. And it's fair to say that The Guardian has perhaps embraced this new technology and mindset better than most (even if it means they have to publish at least one "I hate Twitter!" article per month, just to maintain journalistic balance).What Is The Future Of Social Media?But none of these entities are truly social. For the most part, they remain one-way; writer's write, and reader's read. And never the twain shall meet.I say: the future lies somewhere in between. Moreover, I'm not sure a future exists for printed media at all without this unity.Let the reader become the writer; let the writer become the reader. At once, and even from this great distance, I can feel you recoil. "But we have learned to build trust in our journalists," you may well say, "who have earned this through their experience and honesty."And to this I reply: poppycock. Even if it were true in all cases, which it clearly is not, and never has been, there is enough fabrication, hypocrisy and good old-fashioned porkies in the history of the global press to make Jeffrey Archer look like a bastion of responsibility.Not all, naturally. Not even most. There are many exceptional journalists, who strive to be both fair and accurate. But to suggest that the media is a cross-bearer of honesty and trusted judgement is folly at best; if I can be so bold as to make the analogy, Mother Teresa may be on her journey towards canonisation, but a Saint she will never be.As technology increases in power, while also becoming more compact and affordable, we are all potential journalists. At any point in time any one of us can be 'the man on the scene'. Newspapers know this; Twitter is counting on it. Who amongst us no longer owns a mobile phone, most of which can take a high-quality photograph that can then be uploaded to the internet in a matter of seconds?Where's the story? It's in your pocket.This is the future. In just a few years all media will be social media and the phrase will become redundant. So what of the newspaper as it is today?Local and regional newspapers are, I suspect, a thing of the past. If I was being entirely forthcoming I would propose that this is no great loss; while there are jobs at stake and it is certainly true that not only journalists will be affected, I cannot remember a single occasion in my life where I felt that the local paper was an enjoyable read, let alone an essential one. That said, now that I no longer work in the square mile of London, I do miss reading the Evening Standard on my commute home from the City.But the national press can rejoice, for it has an excellent future, assuming it not only fully adopts modern technology and thinking, but embraces it. If we are all capable of creating and breaking the news, why should we not all be part of the process? To accomplish this, I propose that newspapers do not charge anything for content – not a single penny. It's free to all; free to own. It's our news.Instead, a community is built around that newspaper that is subscription-based. This subscription will be quite modest; just a few dollars per month, with the usual discount for an annual purchase. But instead of just receiving access to the one-way medium of reportage, each member will become part of the process that shapes and builds that content.I'm not foolish enough to propose that we would all be writing the lead stories and fighting over column inches – the newspaper itself would be edited and written by the pros. But the community, behind the scenes but very much a part of it, would feed the content.Vast, in-depth discussions and heated debate would be had by all subscribers about the important events of that day, and the editors and journalists could shape this discourse into viable content. They would always have people at the scene – potentially, scores of them – all around the world, as well as their own seasoned hacks. Those not present would have the opportunity to anchor the story with their own insights and experiences. Think Question Time, with more guests, and less David Dimbleby.Of course, one of the major benefits of any subscription-based model is you eliminate trolls, spammers and other ne'er do wells almost entirely. Only a demented minority pay to endlessly complain and cast unfounded aspersions on others. They would not be welcome at this table, nor would they make a reservation.The Small PrintThat said, this would not work with, nor am I proposing, an army of 'yes men'. The debate is critical to the success of such an endeavour. Consider if you will the age-old argument that asks whether the media shapes the people, or the people shape the media? Up until very recently the former has been a lot closer to reality than the latter. Perhaps it is time to turn history on its head, and reshape our expectations and norms.Again, the key word is social. People will not pay to read a newspaper online. They must have a voice, and a powerful one at that. Journalists can no longer adopt a mantra of 'this is the truth' and expect it to only be questioned by their colleagues and respected rivals.I suspect some are curious, or perhaps concerned, that I am proposing a kind of journalistic communism, where everybody has an equal say. Not at all. I am simply suggesting that everybody be given the opportunity to have an equal say. Our very best journalists need not live in fear. The exceptional will always shine.And the best part? Because the main content, the news itself, is free to all, you can continue to partly-subsidise this with advertisements. Indeed, as the technology behind online ads increase in complexity and more accurately pinpoints the observer's desires, most of us probably won't even mind as chances are we'll have at worst a casual interest in the item being pitched. Think Minority Report, preferably sans Mr. Yukkamoto.Just because our saturated minds have become so accustomed to banner advertisements and Google adblocks that we turn a blind eye to them, it doesn't mean this will always be the case. If history has taught us anything, it's that commerce will find a way.Twitter Is The Delivery Boy, Not The News ItselfTwitter perhaps best epitomises contemporary ideals about the real-time nature of news delivery, as well as the medium in which it can be delivered. The service has many advantages over old media or even blogs in that, because submitted content is limited to 140 characters, it is by definition a swift process. Newspaper articles need to be written, re-written, sub-edited, fact-checked, re-written and then edited; blog posts need to be written. It all takes time. It is of course true that the information contained within a tweet is minimal, but if the right content is submitted by the right person it is a powerful form of communication that can move a significant number of eyes.But Twitter, also because of the limitations of the size of the tweet, will only ever be the carrier of news. It is the delivery boy, if you will. While it is true that it can break and give weight to a story, it is difficult to offer more than a sound bite or headline, even with (or because of) an accompanying link.Where Twitter excels is in the analysis of trends. Again, it is a feature that is not without its faults, and one only has to glance at the Trending Topics on any given day on Twitter.com to see why. Too much repetition and inanity, not enough precision. Trends these may well be, but they are, by and large, a redundant source of information to most of us. But if Twitter's increasingly vast data pool could be tweaked and configured to our desire, and re-analysed by network, location, age, gender and all other demographics, it would be a powerful tool indeed, and as the platform continues to expand, increasingly so.It is not without some irony that I refer you to Muckrack, a website that tracks journalists on Twitter, and their own trending feature, as an example of how this can, and should, be done. As Twitter announces that it will begin to crawl and index the links shared on its network, this moves a step closer to fruition.ChangeSo what is the first step? This will not be an easy process, nor will it be a swift one. Many newspapers will perish. Some will be rescued by those without their best interests at heart, and become parodies of their former selves. A few will merge, and others will break into little pieces. Those that survive and ultimately triumph will, I predict, become far more accessible and forthcoming to their audience to a point where the distinction between journalist and source will diminish.It is important to understand that journalism itself, and the reporting of news, will always be with us, much like music wasn't cast aside when vinyl records were discarded for cassettes, compact discs and MP3s. The electronic book reader is not the death of literature; it is the liberator of it. The greatest change comes with the medium, not the content. A good story is a good story, and while the most talented can add that little bit of magic that makes an above-average story a great one, the roots of the tale – the bare bones, if you will – remain the same.There is a decision to be made. The newspapers, editors and journalists that wish to do more than simply function, but to prosper and flourish, will need to embrace and nurture this essential period of change. Those that do not will shout loudly and passionately at any who will listen, first from a person of authority, and then from the sidelines, as the inevitable passes them by.Social media is dead; long live a social media.

Tuition FREE public K-12 education
There are some critical steps that have been shown to give students who
are not in traditional classrooms the best likelihood of meeting their
academic goals. The first step is to make sure the student has the proper
structure and discipline in place in order to do their schoolwork in a
timely fashion. For this to take place, the student, parent, and mentor
teacher must form a partnership and work as a team toward the goal of enabling
and encouraging the student to reach his or her academic goals.
The parent plays a critical role by creating and enforcing the
proper structure and discipline to help ensure that their student
is logged in no less than 5 days a week for 4/5 hours per day. Some
students will require less time, some will require more time in order
to stay on pace.
The student's time management skills need to be monitored by the parent just as if they were in a traditional school or a homeschool setting. The parents' understanding and execution of their role and responsibilities is key to their child's success. Parents won't be alone in this task, however. For example, in the beginning the mentor teacher should be spending 50 percent of their time with the parent and 50 percent with the student. Once the student shows they are in a productive routine the time will shift to 75 percent student and 25 percent parent. If the student is struggling with time management, the mentor should be spending 75 percent with parent and 25 percent with the student in order to get the student into a productive routine. The mentor teacher will find the right balance for each family.
The mentor is required by the State of Michigan to document
weekly communication with students as well as the manner of
communication: phone, e-mail, chat, discussion boards, face-to-face
time at school and/or off-site locations, etc. The mentor will let
you know what communication avenues he or she will be utilizing.
(State law requires at least once weekly two-way communication
between mentor teacher and student.)

Are you looking for something to warm you up in this windy chilly Melbourne weather?
You are not alone the weather had turned and we seemed to have missed Autumn completely and gone straight into Winter! Which means I'm so very cold and I want to dive into bowls of heartwarming soups.
A recipe I saw in a Coles magazine for a Thai pumpkin soup with prawns which looked perfect for a cold rainy day like so many we have been having lately.
As fate would have it I was gifted with a bottle of Abalone sauce from a company called Kansom. Which was exciting and the unknown, to be honest, I haven't even tried abalone. I was warned to use it sparingly and that it was salty. So I thought adding it to this soup would be the perfect substitution for the fish sauce in the recipe which it was! I actually didn't find it that strong and I feel like could have been a bit more generous with it.
The soup was delicious but I do feel the quantity of brown sugar the recipe calls for is slightly excessive. By the time you get to end of your bowl of soup the sweetness becomes overpowering and just too sweet. I would be happily half the quantity of sugar which for me is saying a lot!
I also had some leftover frozen salt and pepper cuttlefish in my fridge and being the queen of repurposing, I tossed these in turmeric and coriander and fried these and using them as my soup toppers instead of the prawn and it worked well. Apart from the sweet factor the soup was an explosion of flavours and was warming and delicious.
Give the recipe a try and let me know what you think.
This recipe is from the Coles Magazine.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
500g peeled butternut pumpkin, cut into 2cm pieces
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
30g fresh ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 lemongrass stalk, pounded, or 3 teaspoons lemongrass paste
400ml can coconut milk
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (way too much sugar in my opinion)
2 teaspoons fish sauce (Where I used Kansome Abalone Sauce)
500g banana prawns, peeled, deveined (salt and pepper cuttlefish worked just s
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 long red chilli (about 10g), sliced into thin rings
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
1/4 cup (35g) unsalted roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped/
Step 1
In a large heavy pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add pumpkin, shallot, ginger, garlic and lemongrass stalk or paste. Cook for 2-3 mins or until fragrant. Add coconut milk and 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20 mins or until pumpkin are completely tender.
Step 2
Remove lemongrass stalk, if using, and discard. Set soup aside to cool slightly. Transfer to a blender with lime zest, 1 tablespoon lime juice, sugar and fish sauce and puree until very smooth and creamy. Season with salt.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss prawns with ground coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan over high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add prawns and cook, turning as needed, for 3 mins or until pink and just cooked through.
Step 4
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with prawns, chilli slices, coriander leaves and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.

Ryan Zimmerman not in starting lineup again
UPDATED | 6:40 p.m. Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who has a right hamstring injury, is not starting at third base on Monday for a fifth consecutive game. Adam Kennedy will play again at the hot corner to start a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs.
Also, utility man Willie Harris is not in the starting lineup. He was in the original Nationals lineup on Sunday, but his sore right knee forced him to the bench. Harris underwent an magnetic resonance imagining exam on the knee, but it revealed no serious damage.
The decision to keep Zimmerman out of the lineup is probably a product of the weather. It is windy in Chicago (of course) and should get chilly on Monday night, as the Cubs host Washington their first night game of the season at Wrigley Field.
The teams meet Tuesday night in another night game, and the conditions look similar. (To give you an idea of the weather here, the Cubs' media relations staff has opted to keep the press box windows shut, and likely will for the rest of the week.)
It is true that the Nationals have played well in Zimmerman's absence, with a 4-4 record when he is not in the starting lineup. Alberto Gonzalez has been playing admirably in place of Zimmerman, and Zimmerman has contributed in other ways, notably with his pinch-hit home run to lift Washington over the Philadelphia Phillies on April 15.
But it begs the question, How much better off would the Nationals be if their star were available to play?
The Nationals have updated their lineup. The lineup below reflects those changes.
1. Nyjer Morgan, CF
2. Ian Desmond, SS
3. Cristian Guzman, 2B
4. Adam Dunn, 1B
5. Josh Willingham, LF
6. Adam Kennedy, 3B
7. Wil Nieves, C
8. Willy Taveras, RF
9. John Lannan, P
1. Ryan Theroit, SS
2. Jeff Baker, 2B
3. Derrek Lee, 1B
4. Marlon Byrd, CF
5. Aramis Ramirez, 3B
6. Alfonso Soriano, LF
7. Geovany Soto, C
8. Tyler Colvin, RF
9. Carlos Silva, P

Zim needs to be out there. Tight hamstrings? Come on man. Let the trainers stretch him out before and throughout the game. He's the star player and needs to be out there setting the tone as a leader.
Posted by: Imjustlikemusiq | April 26, 2010 4:40 PM | Report abuse
Let him rest. We are in the cold months of the schedule, and his kind of injury does not react well to cold weather. It is a long season, it is better for the club if Zimm keeps riding the pine at this point in the season. However he should get some pinch hits in to keep him active.
Posted by: hansenjo | April 26, 2010 4:50 PM | Report abuse
Zim sitting is the right move. Nats are playing .500 ball for now, more than good enough if you consider they can re-add Zim soon, and also add at least a couple of stronger starting pitchers in a month or too. Baseball has a long season, no reason to do anything too extreme in April.

Willy T. starting in right? Gives Willy a chance to get that OBP up to a robust .250! and maybe break .200 on the old BA line!
With no Capps/Clippard available, I'm not optimistic on the Nats chances.

STOP BABYING HIM!! DAMN! It's too cool outside for him, that is pure unadulterated bull sh#t i agree with the previous post(imjustmusic)strech the hamstring out and who are trainers on this squad? Zimm should not have pulled the hammy in the first place if he had the proper spring training regiment,how many times did Hank or Willie pull hammy's? if you want to be considered a superstar then you are prepared mentally and physically you pull a hammy because that muscle has not been properly "worked".

I realize that everyone hates Tavares, but Riggs (a) believes in getting good lefty/righty match-ups and (b) keeping all active roster players confident and in action. Both seem to be working well for us so far...

I know everyone has a theory on RF, but I'm not sure why they aren't playing Maxwell every day. I don't think he can hit enough to be a regular player, but I'd like to see 200 or so at bats as a regular just to see. It's not like Willie or Tavares is tearing it up and Maxwell gives you good D.

For those saying that Zim should be playing...Jose Reyes missed almost the entire season last year with a torn hamstring. The Nats need to do what they can to protect his health. IMO, whether he should have been DL'd is really the question here.

"But it begs the question, How much better off would the Nationals be if their star were available to play?"
No, it doesn't beg the question.
"But, as everyone knows, the Nationals would be better than their 4-4 record without Zimmerman if they had him in the lineup"
That begs the question.

hansenjo and hats4bats are right--Zimmerman sits and gets healed up. And hamstring injuries aren't a sign of character weakness. We're doing better than anyone expected; what's the big rush? Zimmerman nneds to be healthy in June. That is when it's going to get really interesting.
Posted by: fpcsteve | April 26, 2010 5:44 PM | Report abuse
The issue isn't whether he should be playing to "build character" and risk tearing the hamstring. The issue is what kind of conditioning and training do they not have during spring training and the regular season.
Posted by: samantha7 | April 26, 2010 5:51 PM | Report abuse
A hamstring problem can be pretty tough to shake. Better to take some time and make sure you're 100% than aggrivate the injury, especially this time of the season and especially in cold weather.

Hey -- the article said hamstring injury, not "tight hamstrings".
The list of players who came back too soon and did some _real_ damage is a mile long. Zim & the Nats need to make sure he's 100% healthy, so that he can go all out at 100% when he plays.

Mix-and-match dining creates a main meal of small plates
From dim sum to tapas and beyond, small plates can make for an attractive meal. When consumers combine a few of them, they have a full main meal. Thirty-eight percent of consumers, according to a 2013 Technomic survey, say they order appetizers on all or most of their restaurant meals, a 41 percent increase over 2009. These numbers suggest you may want to look at catering in a whole new way.
Tapas, for example, hit restaurants in 1997 and is now a staple of many catering companies. Why? Because clients appreciate the variety in menu selection. In fact, they demand it. Smaller plates are also more shareable and could increase the level of social interaction at an event. Plus, they could distinguish the event with a more memorable menu.
Small plates offer big choices
When looking for small plate options, consider the following:
- High-quality, healthful snacks—Dieters are often advised to eat before they attend a party to take the edge off their hunger. When you offer healthy food in smaller quantities, you can unburden—and satisfy—more guests. Some good choices from our tapas menu could include sliced serrano ham with seasonal fruit and a garden salad or grilled ahi tuna.
- Customizable choices—Smaller plates can fill a variety of needs. Select from cold and hot menus, an array of proteins and accompaniments. Chances are you'll have an assortment of palates and eating philosophies (ranging from vegan to carnivore) at your tables. Ensure your smaller-plate selections meet their needs, including a cheese, fruit, and nut choice for dessert, in addition to or instead of a more traditional sweet treat like crème brûlée.
- Balancing act—A small plate can creatively combine protein, starch, and vegetable for a complete bite. It can be more visually appealing than beef on a stick. Also think about how each plate harmonizes with those before or after.
- Think mini—Petite servings offer alternatives to traditional service. Epicurean delights presented on a spoon, a stick, or in a delicate glass can add a new spin.
- Chef stations—Small plates with big flavors can be produced at chef stations and not just in the kitchen. Interacting with chefs as they prepare their dainty dishes creates engagement for both guest and chef.
Whether the event is a wedding or corporate hospitality, even the most discerning palate there can appreciate—and be satisfied—by a small, tasteful plate.

How vividly strong was your lucid dream environment at the time? I have a theory ...
Even though you were completely aware of the illusory nature of your surroundings, a part of you (subconscious) craves for realism---it wants the dream elements to be real in the same sense as waking life for a number of reasons: (a) stability; (b) prolongation; and (c) the thrill of exploring another somewhat solid world.
The aforementioned reality check denies the dream its ostensible objectivity---it threatens to completely shatter the illusion with a feat which is known to be impossible in the physical universe. The subconscious does not know that the dream can survive the 'reality-denier', so to speak, so it forecloses the anomaly instead. It's like something in that state of consciousness tries to pull the wool over your eyes!
Of course, one might argue, a simple failed reality check is insufficient against strong lucidity, but the dream world is known to have other potential traps which can gradually befuddle even the most experienced oneironauts keen to engage with its hallucinatory elements.
Let's put it this way ...
Imagine that Robert Waggoner has a point. There is an awareness behind the dream. It's you and it isn't (as paradoxical as it sounds, the brain is a conglomerate of conflicting wills). So this alter ego of yours conspires to deceive you. If it could think in language, this is what it would be:
'LoneDreamer might not be deceived by the fact that I denied the impossibility of his successful reality test, but I have other tricks up my sleeve. When he leaves his dream abode he shall encounter a spellbinding character that might just do the trick. If he doesn't forget that he's dreaming, a false awakening might just make him believe that my world is real ...'
You, on the other hand, can fight against your subconscious deceiver by performing impossible feats (like Alice!). You can fly. You can transmute any dream element including yourself. You can engage with dream people with a degree of taciturnity. You can remind yourself every few seconds or so that none of it is real---it is all a dream in which you are fully awake ...
Maintaining lucidity in the dream is the equivalence of preserving focus during meditation. Lucidity equals mindfulness.

Women's Bible Study is a weekly study for women of all ages. This study meets on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30am. Ladies break into small groups to discuss the study after a time in a large group setting. We will be doing two different studies this semester.
Our first study will be Start with Amen. In Start with Amen, Beth Guckenberger unpacks all the Bible has to teach us about the moment we say amen to God. Using key scripture passages mixed with fresh teaching and personal stories, she invites readers to experience the richness they've been missing. The cost of the book is $12, and will be charged at the time of registration.
The second study will be Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer. The study, Armor of God is more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, it is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory. For this study, participants will need to purchase their books at Amazon.com or LifeWay Christian Bookstore.

The following is a summary of the best practical ideas that were outlined at The 2017 Mental Health in the Australian Workplace Conference and Masterclass, held on 1st & 2nd June in Melbourne. These points will provide you and your leaders with guidance on how to take a more effective, strategic approach to mental health and wellbeing in your organisation.
Be outcome driven. More and more organisations are now realising that mental health and wellbeing is an outcome rather than a program with a menu of items.
Outcomes require measures. Determine what your measures of success will be and what a reasonable timeframe would be to achieve that. For example, improvements in employee engagement and wellbeing survey results; and decreases in turnover, claims and sick leave over an 18-24 month time period.
Target the whole organisation. Most wellbeing programs reach only 5-10% of the organisation. To earn recognition as a truly 'mentally healthy organisation' you must be able to reach the majority of your workforce and lift the wellbeing of that majority up a notch or two across the mental health spectrum.more info
A mentally healthy workplace is viable and beneficial for all - that's the message received loud and clear over two days at the 2016 Mental Health in the Australian Workplace Conference.
Conference organisers The Australian School of Applied Management proudly partnered with beyondblue and Heads Up for the 2016 event, with assistance from FBG. Organisational psychologist and director of FBG Simon Brown-Greaves facilitated the two days.
With a focus on the lived experience as a model for understanding mental health, this year's conference was very much about identifying the steps organisations need to take to create a positive workplace culture. Other key themes included building resilience, mindfulness, driving change and identifying risk factors.
Court Services Victoria (CSV) was created in 2014 with the goal of enhancing the independence of the judiciary from government. With over 1600 employees in more than 60 locations across Victoria, the prime function of CSV is to support the performance and efficient functioning of the judicial and administrative courts.
The courts increasingly view the provision of high quality services as central in supporting members of the community to have their day in court. As part of their role, Court staff are routinely exposed to traumatic imagery, case materials, testimony and interactions with distressed members of the public. Over time, exposure to these issues can take a toll on their wellbeing, resulting in vicarious trauma.... more info
The mental health and wellbeing of first responder professionals in police, ambulance, fire and SES services is vital for the effective performance of their role in responding to the community. As such it is critical that organisations step in and provide wellbeing support to first responders and help build their resilience capability.
The good practice framework, commissioned by beyondblue, outlines practical actions that organisations can implement to help support first responders' mental health and wellbeing. It has been collaboratively developed by drawing on the experiences of first responder agencies across Australia, through a process led by FBG. It is the next step in supporting first responder organisations to destigmatise mental health issues and take an open, integrated and holistic approach to planning and implementing health and wellbeing measures in the workplace. Whilst designed for first responder organisations, the framework has much applicability for informing any organisation's wellbeing approach.... more info
Wellbeing continues to feature prominently in organisational conversation as the risk and rate of psychological injury weighs increasingly heavy on many organisations. In search of solutions, organisations have typically looked externally for support in managing mental health and wellbeing. This has been a function of the focus on the 'illness' end of the mental health and wellbeing continuum and the corresponding need to engage psychologists and social workers with the requisite skills, qualifications and expertise not found within organisations. With the spotlight being shone on the 'healthy' end of the mental health and wellbeing continuum over the past decade or so, the expert mental health specialist has become just one of the wellbeing solutions open to organisations. Additional avenues of support have become tenable. In many cases organisations are turning to their most important and obvious internal resource - their own employees - to be an additional source of support. This is often formalised as a Peer Support Program.more info

As many celebrate the recent pardon of the Wilmington 10, Racialicious guest contributor Lamont Lilly draws a link between their struggle and the city's history of Ku Klux Klan economic and racial violence.
The experiences of The Wilmington Ten actually date back to the 1898 Wilmington Race Riot, to a time of overt racial oppression and forced inequality. These race riots marked a new era of racist reign just two years after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Jim Crow segregation through Plessy v. Ferguson. This gave the green light to many Black and progressive whites being forcibly evicted from their homes by white supremacists and southern elitists.
The first order of business for local Klansmen was to break the backs of Wilmington's black working-class, to disenfranchise their economic stronghold, which by 1895 had just begun to thrive. At this time, Wilmington was the national symbol of Black hope. It was in Wilmington where Blacks owned land and openly participated in local politics.
In this small budding city on the outer banks of North Carolina, Blacks were crafts workers, tailors, and furniture makers. They were brick masons, teachers, and architects. They were plumbers, plasterers, and even owned a newspaper, The Daily Record. Blacks in Wilmington owned 20 of the city's 22 barbershops and one of the city's three real estate firms. As then the largest and most prominent city in NC, it also had a Black-majority population. At the close of the 19th century, Wilmington was one of the few cities in the U.S. were both Black and white people employed each other.

The Root aims to foster and advance conversations about issues relevant to the black Diaspora by presenting a variety of opinions from all perspectives, whether or not those opinions are shared by our editorial staff.

Adamantios Korais
IMO number 8613607
Name history: Visva, Kuyshu, Adamantios Korais
Built 1987, Naikai Shipbuilders Setoda, Japan
Tonnage 6 307 GT
Length 100,15 m
Width 17,21 m
Draught 4,50 m
1 100 passengers
180 cars
350 lane metres
2 Daihatsu diesels, combined 5 885 kW
2 propellers
2 bow thruster
Speed 18,6 knots
The Adamantios Korais - named after a Greek humanist and writer, who is credites as having laid the foundations for modern Greek literature and language - is a nifty little ferry serving on routes connecting Piraeus to various islands in the Aegean archipelago. Like many other Greek ferries, her roots are in Japan: she was built in 1987 for Higashi Nihon Ferry as the Visva, serving on the Aomori (Honshu)-Hakodate (Hokkaido) route. (From a Finnish point of view the original name was very unfortunate - Visva literally translates as "pus").
In 1999 the ship passed to Kyu-Shi Ferry as the Kyushu, serving on a route connecting Yawatahama (Shikoku)-Usuki (Kyushu). (I'm presuming everyone remembers the rough geography of Japan's four main islands). In August 2008 the ship was sold to Anonimos Naftiliaki Metaforiki Eteria Zakynthoy S.A. (ANMEZ), a Greek shipping company trading under tha name Zante Ferries. The Kyushu was renamed Adamantios Korais and sailed to Greece, where she was given and extensive refit that left her essentially unrecognisable from the earlier incarnation. Following the refit the Adamantios Korais was placed on the Pireus-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini -route, where she remains to this day.
The photographs below show the Adamantios Korais in the harbour of Piraeus on the afternoon of 10 November 2013. Photographed from onboard the Rotterdam. Click on the images to see them in larger size.
|To be honest, Athens did not make my list of favourite cities during the visit. Still, the ferries were rather interesting - and I like the combination of the high-rise building and the ferry here.
|And I have to say that Zante Ferries' orange livery does speak to me on a personal level. Although I'm puzzled why the vlack window stripe doesn't continue all the way around the forward part.
|Some hours after the previous photographs were taken, our departure allowed for somewhat different point of view.


text: DigitalMorning Reading List 07.10.13.By Austin Price|July 10, 2013 ShareBy Austin Price|July 10, 2013 Share A fun day to be a Capitol Hill intern — As Republican congressmen prepared for a press conference about student loan rates, they knew they needed something to drive home their point and not bore everyone. So, as Politico's Ginger Gibson reports, GOP staffers decided to make use of the packs of college students in their offices and instructed a mass of interns to stand in the 90-degree heat on the steps behind House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans as they slammed Democrats over the student loan rate increase. Many speakers make use of backdrops at press conferences and similar events, and they're not always made up of sweaty interns. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) makes use of backdrops quite frequently. Most recently at a similar event on student loans, Pelosi invited students from various campus leadership organizations and had some of the student leaders speak.Why you should read it: This is proof that you're not having the worst day. Sure, you may have sources that don't understand deadlines and editors that don't understand sources, but at least you're not an intern being used as a prop and stuffed into a suit and tie in 90-degree heat.Greenwald fires back at Pincus — On Monday night WaPo published a piece by Walter Pincus questioning the role of Guardian's Glenn Greenwald in the leak of NSA documents by Edward Snowden. In response, Greenwald wrote a column that slammed Pincus and the article, which he wrote "concocted a frenzied and inane conspiracy theory" that the reporter worked secretly with WikiLeaks and Julian Assange to mastermind Snowden's leak. Greenwald charged that Pincus' story was built on the fact that Greenwald had written a piece for the WikiLeaks Press's blog, an assertion the Guardian reporter said is completely false. Greenwald emailed Pincus a lengthy email about the false claims and leading questions in his story. Upon realizing that the claim of Greenwald writing for the blog were false, Pincus vowed to correct the mistake. But 15 hours later, there was still no correction. (As we're writing this, the story has still not been corrected.) Greenwald said he normally wouldn't bother writing the column, as "shoddy journalism from the Washington Post is far too common to be worth noting," but he felt he needed to bring the "wild conspiracy theorizing" to light.Why you should read it: The story that started with Snowden leaking documents has grown to include a wide cast of characters with more plot twists than M. Night Shyamalan can think up, and it only gets more compelling with each turn. Ben Crair loves to sit, and so do you — What are you doing right now? Of course you're reading this, but you're also probably sitting. Whether it be at a desk, table, bus or train, most Americans spend a majority, or at least a large part of their day, sitting. And TNR's Ben Crair is just fine with that. If he wrote The Giving Tree, he notes, he "would have chopped the tree down on the first page and had the boy sit on the stump for the rest of the book." Crair examines the habits of different writers, such as Colum McCann, who writes sitting on the floor of a windowless closet. He also examines the writing style of Phillip Roth, who writes standing at a lectern. There's also Gary Shteyngart, who stays in bed to write. Different writing habits, Crair writes, show different styles of writing and the distinct style of each writer. Sitting so much, however is not good for one's health. Instead of trying to sit less, however, Crair suggests that the prescription should be to work less by taking longer lunch breaks, working less hours and taking more vacations. We could get on board with that.Why you should read it: You probably spend a large part of the day sitting, and this will at least make you think about it. Hell, maybe you can convince your boss that it would be a good idea for everyone to have a longer lunch break and more vacation time. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2l3mIJY copy Adweek Adweek

Extra Money for Extra Long Jury Duty
On Tuesday, Oklahoma Supreme Court issued IN THE MATTER OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LENGTHY TRIAL FUND, 2005 OK 21 , which approves the rules for the Lengthy Trial Fund. These rules allow a juror to request payment from the lengthy trial fund for full or partial wage replacement when engaged in a term of jury service lasting greater than ten (10) days. The Administrative Director of the Courts may pay replacement or supplemental wages of up to $200.00 per day on or after the eleventh day of jury service. If the service as a juror in a trial lasting more than ten days is a significant financial hardship on any particular juror, the court may then award replacement or supplemental wages of up to $50.00 per day for the fourth to the tenth day of jury service.

By Hong Kong Jockey Club (David Morgan) | Wednesday, April 11, 2018
Brett Prebble took the kudos at Happy Valley tonight thanks to an astute double that featured a long-shot win on 54/1 chance Star Majestic (121lb). The Australian ace had only one ride from 10 races at Sha Tin on Sunday but was on the mark for the 18th time this term aboard the Paul O'Sullivan-trained galloper in the Class 2 Pottinger Peak Handicap (1650m). That followed a race two win atop the Tony Cruz-trained Contribution."That's the way it goes at the moment, but if you give me a ride on a horse I'll win on it," the Australian ace said after guiding Star Majestic to a three-quarter-length win over Circuit Glory. Top-weight Litterateur (128lb) claimed third; the winning time was 1m 40.47s. Prebble stalked the front-running Infinity Endeavour (119lb) through steady opening fractions of 28.42s and 25.66s but, at the 700m point, the rider had his mount rolling up past the pace-setter and was driving, left arm whirling. Star Majestic had a length and a half on the field by the time he galloped out of the final turn."I could have led easy but there was no real pressure and Matthew (Chadwick) was pretty adamant and he likes to let them roll," the rider said. "I got a beautiful run – just sat him one off – and I actually wanted it to slow down because I knew there were five or six in the race that pull hard, so if we could go through the first half-mile with them wasting their energy, I thought it'd take the zip out of them and I'd just go."They didn't have that finishing speed because they'd worked too much in the first half mile from going slow. It worked out good."The win was the Sakhee's Secret gelding's eighth in Hong Kong and seventh at the course and distance. But it was his first in Class 2."He needs to be comfortable, that's the thing," the rider said. "The Sha Tin track is riding a bit firm for him at the moment and when I won on him there a few runs back he gave me a good feel, he quickened and put them away easily. But then when he goes up into Class 2 everyone thinks he can't do it – it's not about that, it's about him feeling comfortable."He gets to the front and waits. He got there and he lugged in. He's a bit of an old boy but he's got the engine." Prebble added.Earlier, the 40-year-old made the most of barrier one to make all on Contribution in section one of the Class 4 Mount Butler Handicap (1650m). Prebble booted the Street Cry four-year-old clear at the top of the stretch and the gelding held on by three quarters of a length to score at odds of 4.2.O'Sullivan sealed his own double. Jack Wong made all on the trainer's Moment Of Power, the 3.3 favourite, in the Class 3 Nam Long Shan Handicap (1000m).**************************************************************************************************Pretty Bauhinia (126lb) gave Karis Teetan the middle leg of a three-timer when successful in the evening's trophy race, the Class 3 Indian Recreation Club Challenge Cup Handicap (1650m).Me Tsui's charge edged the verdict by a head, thanks to Teetan's decisive action just as the field began to curve towards the home run. Runner-up Let's Take It Easy (122lb) had a length on the winner when Alberto Sanna urged that galloper to the lead passing the 200m pole, but by then Teetan's early stoking from a deep position had built to a devouring momentum. "Me had him in good form again today but when watching the races tonight I thought we might be in trouble because he gets himself so far out of his ground and I thought it might be tough to make up," Teetan said."He felt good at around the 700 (metres) to the 600 (metres) so I didn't want to waste any time, I had to let him go. If I'd wasted any time, and sat behind, he would have been flying home to be second or third. I just took a chance and he liked that. He has a long sustained run so he just kept making it."The win was the five-year-old's second in his last three starts – all under the Mauritian rider – his two successes sandwiching a solid second to Winning Faith last month."The horse is flying," Teetan said. "This season, his last few runs have been so good – there's not much of him but he's been trying so hard."The jockey opened his account for the night two races earlier in the Class 4 Mount Butler Handicap (1650m). Teetan bustled the David Ferraris-trained Electric Lightning to lead from a stalking berth and the four-year-old extended to the line for a two and three-quarter-length win at odds of 8.6. The 51-rated gelding at one time held an entry for this season's Hong Kong Derby."I actually had a lot of hope for this horse and he was very disappointing. He seemed to have lost his way. He's had a problem but he's recovered well. Thank goodness he's come back and we're happy with him now," Ferraris said.Teetan ensured a Ferraris double as well as his own treble when driving out Breeders' Star (131lb) to hold a nose advantage over the fast-closing Back In Black (121lb) in the finale, the Class 3 Siu Ma Shan Handicap (1200m).Alberto Sanna took the opener on Good For You for the double-scoring Tsui, while Moreira was on the mark with Moore in the third race thanks to the front-running 2.4 favourite Bingo.

Even though the 20 week cycle topped and is down next week three other cycles are up. The 20 week cycle is often dominant, but will probable result in sideways action for the last week of April with the other 3 cycles "up". There may be some upside bias, but new ATHs may not happen...
Alert for NDX100 as price touches FLD from above:
GL traders
Cycles are a tool and should not be used to the exclusion of other tools. There is always the possibility (high probability long term) that the data will be misinterpreted or a relevant fact over looked. So use cycles to check your analysis, not as the only reason to make a decision. Interpretation is the opinion of the author and may be incorrect and should be viewed in that light.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Frosting
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
The ingredients:
2 Tbs. yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110-120 degrees F)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup melted butter
couple drops of orange food coloring (if desired)
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
3-1/2 - 5 cups all purpose flour
2 Tbs. butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1-2 Tbs. cinnamon (I used 2 Tbs., but got feedback that that amount might be too much for some people. If you're nervous about it being too spicy, then I recommend using only 1 Tbs. instead)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbs. milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar
ROLLS: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Wait 5 minutes. Add pumpkin, sugar, salt, egg, melted butter, food coloring (if using), cloves, and cinnamon; mix well. Slowly add flour 1 cup at a time until dough is smooth and elastic. (for me it only took 3-1/2 cups to get to that point). Turn into a lightly greased bowl, cover, and set in a warm place until double in bulk. Punch down dough and let rest for 5 more minutes. Roll dough into a large rectangle.
Starting with the long side of the rectangle, roll up jelly-roll style. Pinch seams to seal, then using a sharp serrated knife trim off any excess dough at either end, then cut rolls into about 12 1-inch slices. Place rolls cut side up in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until double, 30-45 minutes (it was cold the day I made these, so it took them significantly longer than that to raise).
Bake rolls at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
CARAMEL FROSTING: In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Stir in brown sugar and milk, then cook over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Transfer to small bowl and cool mixture for about 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer until well blended.
If necessary, add more sugar for desired consistency. Drizzle caramel frosting on rolls as soon as they come out of the oven. Let cool until warm, then add the rest of the frosting. Makes about 12 servings.

If you walk amidst the ruins of Fort St Frederic today, you must carry your imagination every step of the way. It is a wonderful way to remember the activities and the goings on in the vicinity. Stay walking within the boundary of the French fort. Don't go ramble over the the larger structure built by Jeffery Amherst a few yards to the northwest. That structure is called Crown Point and it didn't exist in 1740 or in 1750. There was just Fort St Frederic and a lively place it was.
Guy Omeron Coolidge in French Occupation of the Champlain Valley from 1609 to 1759 stated the French occupied this spot, called Pointe a la Chevelure from 1700 and used it for commerce for English goods. Theodore G. Corbett writing in A Clash of Cultures on the Warpath of Nations: the Colonial Wars in the Hudson Champlain Valleys (Fleischmanns, NY: Purple Mountain Press, 2002.) describes the fort and ancillary structures, built in 1731, that made Fort St Frederic on the Pointe a la Chevelure a grand site in the wilderness and a permanent one at that. There was a chapel, barracks, a bakehouse, a storehouse and a windmill to grind grain raised by soldiers in nearby fields and the very French style blockhouse. Soldiers were able to marry there and raise children who were baptized in the church registers. Most of all Fort St Frederic was a culturally diversified community as natives, Dutch, English and French, freeman, captives, slaves all passed through, traded, or were traded! Goods were exchanged as soldiers, soldier-farmers, praying Indians (Mohican), Abenaki allies, Iroquois enemies, English captives, colonial militias, Hudson Valley Dutch middleman, African American slaves all moved in and out of Fort St Frederic on their way to other destinations like Albany, Montréal, Fort Number Four, Québec City or Boston. It was the departure point for French raids into colonial New England as well as the target of New York and Massachusetts colonial government plans to destroy it. In contemporary jargon, it was a "hopping place".
|When you walk around these ruins, imagine!
|Imagine this! A busy trading center with visitors coming and going
|The plan of the fort with the blockhouse in the northeast corner
|Looking northwest to present day Port Henry from Point la Chevelure
In 1759, as the French were losing their power in the Champlain Valley, the French troops did abandon Fort St Frederic but they did not leave it intact for the English to benefit. Instead the French troops blow it up...

When copying an Orocos program, we want identical internal::DataSource's to be mapped to identical DataSources, in order for the program to work correctly.
This is different from the clone function, where we simply want a new Action that can replace the old one directly.
This function takes a map that maps the old internal::DataSource's onto their new replacements. This way, it is possible to check before cloning a internal::DataSource, whether it has already been copied, and if so, reuse the existing copy.
To keep old source working, the standard implementation of this function simply calls the clone function. If your ActionInterface uses a internal::DataSource, it is important that you reimplement this function correctly though.

How To Make Money Identifying Beetles And Butterflies
Before the rise of the Digital age, research and forensic scientists, biologists, and botanists, painstakingly identified each and every living organism by searching their various ranks in the Nomenclature Code rule book. Using advanced technology however, has made it possible to simplify these steps in just a couple of clicks on the computer. Determix has created Lysandra Online, an internet-based, biological database that classifies all organisms using interactive catalogues and identification guides. Everything is basically there; and unlike a trip to the library, it wouldn't take a day to find a strange organism's Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species classification—all in one sitting.
This is good news to scientists all over the world. Lysandra Online is co-authored by leading specialists in the fields of zoology and biological sciences; and it uses complex algorithms to search for an organism's specific hierarchies. It makes things even easier by adding illustrated catalogues, handy navigation, and print output in its features. And here's the best part: it can organize random search lists from the general catalogue and even create mini-presentations. Some of its published works include beetles and butterfly classification, butterfly identifcation database, and all that can be easily accessed via website.
The best part, however, is that it's free. All its database and facilities are available after installation, and some of its demo databases don't even need registration. Today, it is used as an accurate guide to biological classification, and Determix has now released a commercial version of its database that contains completely illustrated tools, maps, and pictures for better identification.

Studio Calico's August kit, Marks & Co, goes live today. The subscriber presale is happening right
now, and the full reveal for everyone will be at midnight EST. (The links to the add-ons in this post
won't work until then.)
This month's kit are full of good stuff and some brand new products straight from CHA. The scrapbook
kit has an exclusive Amy Tangerine stitching template, wood veneer alphas in an awesome font, and
glossy asterisks. My favorite thing about this month are the stamps included in the Project Life kit by
Kal Barteski.... seriously..... it makes my heart happy!
Today I'm going to share one of my Project Life spreads during our summer vacation at the beach.
This layout was made using only the Project Life main kit.
I used Becky Higgins Design A Photo Page Protectors as the base for both pages and added one
insert to house additional photos.
The photo insert is opened to reveal two more photos. I added text to each of the photos prior
to printing in photoshop.
The back of the insert holds a 4x6 photo.
Close up of the left side of the spread. For my title card I used the Hello, Kal Barteski stamp
and the letter stickers to designate the week.
I also added a few Kal Barteski digital brushes to my photos. I love her style!!
Close up of the second part of the week and the right side of the layout. I enlarge a vertical
photo to a 6x8 and then trimmed it carefully to fit into the 4x6 and two 3x4 spaces. I love them
impact of the larger photo against the smaller photos as well as the comparison in size of my
husband to my little girls. I chose to use bullet point journaling so I could get all the information
in right now. I have more in depth journaling that I plan to add in at a later time, but I didn't
want to feel rushed to get it all in and forget something important.

That Hastings Crash
2 comments:
- Guy Montag said...
Thanks for pointing out the link to that illuminating post. There's a lot of BS speculation out there. Nice to see some evidence based analysis.
Here was my take on the subject last month:
"I've been skeptical of the conspiracy theories concerning the crash. Usually in this country, the powers-that-be simply ignore you to death if they don't like your writing. You're "disappeared" from the mainstream media. Unless Hastings was onto something "so big" (NSA story) it threatened someone enough to take action."
"It looks like Hasting's car was going fast, lost control jumping the curb into the median strip, took out the fire hydrant (could have ruptured the gas tank leading to the fire) hit the tree with the left front of the car which ejected engine (rare but it happens), and the car pivoted to the right to rest at a 90 -degree angle from the road."
Note: I mistakenly assumed water was flowing from a sheared off water hydrant. There was no fire hydrant; instead some sort of irrigation piping. However, the water pipes mentioned in the post don't appear in google maps images (new?) although some do appear in the blocks further south.
"I'm no expert, but I have been a firefighter for 22 years and that scenario is my best guess based on what I've seen so far. The remaining question in my mind is why Hasting's car was going fast and lost control. Tired? Reckless? (but friend said, 'he drove like a grandma"?) Under the influence? (but hadn't he been on the wagon for 10 years?)."
"After reading the car hacking posts, hacking does seem like a possibility; but it seems a very iffy way of trying to off someone."
Note: I've included some links on the car crash "conspiracy theories" in Appendix G of my just updated post (Ver 2.3) "More Lies Borne Out by Facts, If Not the Truth" at the Feral Firefighter blog.

Thanks for your 6-18-13 tribute for Michael Hastings. Since then, I've been working on my own tribute to Michael Hastings:
MORE "LIES BORNE OUT BY FACTS, IF NOT THE TRUTH" --The New York Time's Disingenuous Obituary of Michael Hastings & Their Whitewash of Gen. Stanley McChrystal's Role in "Le'Affair Rolling Stan," The Pat Tillman Story, etc.
What started as a 2-page comment has now expanded to 30 pages (plus 30 pages of Appendices). Just posted my latest update a couple of days ago (expanded and more polished than last month's outline).
