The WBP format is associated with Webshots, a program that offers wallpaper and screensaver services and allows users to view, organize and share images. Webshots supported the most popular image sharing website in the early 2000s, before website such as Flickr, Facebook or Photobucket appeared. Nowadays, Webshots offers desktop applications for Windows and Mac OS, as well as mobile applications for Android and iOS. A WBP file contains an encrypted wallpaper image that can be handled using Webshots.
The QRT format file is associated with the QRT Ray Tracer, also referred to as Quick Ray Tracer. QRTs are uncompressed raster graphic images which contain 3D scenes for ray tracing. Although they haven't been used very frequently in past years, they can be used for various rendering applications.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert WBPs. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Start reaConverter and load all the .wbp files you intend to convert into .qrt because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select WBPs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .qrt files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Then pick the QRT as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!Try Free Trial Version
Advanced users can convert WBP to QRT via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.Download reaConverter Pro with CLI

Climate action
What communities can do
Overview, see right hand column for more
School strike for climate
School strike for climate, also known in various regions as Fridays for the Future, Youth for climate or Youth strike 4 climate, is a growing international movement of children and students leaving their school to take part in demonstrations for climate action.
The first school strike for climate was started by Greta Thunberg staging an action outside the Swedish Riksdag (parliament), holding a sign that read "Skolstrejk för klimatet" or "school strike for climate" during August 2018. W
Other links
350.org, international environmental organization encouraging citizens to action with the belief that publicizing the increasing levels of carbon dioxide will pressure world leaders to address climate change and to reduce levels from 400 parts per million to 350 parts per million. It was founded by author Bill McKibben with the goal of building a global grassroots movement to raise awareness about anthropogenic climate change, to confront climate change denial, and to cut emissions of carbon dioxide in order to slow the rate of global warming. 350.org takes its name from the research of Goddard Institute for Space Studies scientist James E. Hansen, who posited in a 2007 paper that 350 parts-per-million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere is a safe upper limit to avoid a climate tipping point. W
TckTckTck, the Global Call for Climate Action
Why it matters
Because of the time lag in the carbon system, and due to our past emissions - we are still going to experience a certain level of climate change. Even if we stopped all emissions tomorrow we would expect another 30-40 years of temperature rise, and more than a century of sea-level rise. [1]
Climate change fairness, justice and peace
"Indications of changes in the earth's future climate must be treated with the utmost seriousness, and with the precautionary principle uppermost in our minds. Extensive climate changes may alter and threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states." [2]
Climate justice
Recognizing and addressing the fact that those least responsible for climate change experience its greatest impacts is seen by many as being central to climate justice. W
Climate change and inequality
"Unless the burden of poverty in developing nations is alleviated by significant financial support for mitigation, adaptation, and the reduction of deforestation, the ability of developing countries to pursue sustainable development is likely to diminish, to the economic and environmental detriment of all." 22 leading climate scientists [3]
Why climate change is a women's issue
"Women are more likely to die or suffer the long term consequences of the rising tide of natural disasters and resource wars unleashed by climate change, and are largely excluded from the search for solutions," [4]
Emissions Reduction Community based currency schemes
A community based emissions reduction currency scheme is a C4 type local currency in which local currency issues are backed by the emissions reductions of the schemes members. The local currency, when accepted for trade by other members or local businesses, thereby rewards participants for their efforts at global warming prevention. These currencies may have various degrees of convertibility into carbon saved, renewable energy, or national currency. W
Low Carbon Communities
The Low Carbon Communities network is a UK based network of communities and organisations working to halt global warming as far as is possible. W / Low Carbon Communities
Open CO2
Open CO2 is a project to help crowdsource open carbon accounts for local communities worldwide. It can also be about carbon literacy, encouraging ourselves to learn more about what the available data might show. Open local carbon accounts would help make possible Participatory carbon budgeting. See separate article: Open CO2
Participatory carbon budgeting
The idea is to combine two other ideas: participatory budgeting W and a carbon budget for an area, typically a large town or city. See separate article: Participatory carbon budgeting

Ratchaburi is a very old city going back to the ancient era. It was a town of the Suwannaphum Kingdom which was very prosperous. Ratchahuri occupies an area of 5,196 square kilometers and is located 101 kilometers from Bangkok along Phetchakasem Highway or 80 kilometers along the Highway No .35 (the Thon Bt ri-Pak Tho Highway).
Ratchahuri is administratively divided into nine Amphoes: Mu ang, Photharam, Damnoen Saduak, Pak Tho, Chom Bung, Bang Phae, Wat Phleng, Suan Phung, and Ban Pong.
RATCHABURI's ATTRACTIONS
Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat This is an ancient monastery located in Amphoe Muang. It has a prang constructed during the prosperous old Khmer era when they ruled the Suwannaphum Kingdom. The prang has a characteristic of the replica of Phra That of Angkor War.
Ratchaburi National Museum Ratchaburi National Museum is located in the municipality of Ratchahuri. The museum houses all ancient items, skeleton of ancient people including those implements which could be dug for research. Information is provided for each item on display.
Khao Wang This small hill 44 meters high is located two kilometers west of the township area and is accessible by a vehicle road. King Rama V commanded a palace built on this hill but he made only one visit in the year 1877. Later in the seventh reign, King Rama VII commanded to give the palace as Thorani Song land (land belonging to a monastery). Those who had merit making intentions contributed to the repair and modification of buildings for the Main Shrine Hall and monk's living quarters. Later on it was promoted to be a monastery called "Wat Khao Wang".
Hot Stream This hot stream is situated in the area of Bo Khlung, Amphoe Suan Phung. Its source is in the Tanaosi Mountain Range. The stream flows all the year round and its temperature ranges between 120-136 degrees Fahrenheit (50-68 degrees Celcius).
Murals of Wat Khongkharam This is a Mon monastery over 200 years old and originally called "Wat Klang" or "Phia To". King Mongkut gave it a new name as "Wat Khongkharam". The beauty of the main shrine hall is very interesting and worth studying. Wat Khongkharam is located in Amphoe Photharam, some 22 kilometers from Ratchaburi.
Khao Chong Phran This hill is located in Tambon Tao Pun, Amphoe Photharam, having a beautiful cave housing more than one hundred Buddha images. The important one among them is the large Reclining Buddha which is more than nine meters long and one meter high. There is also a cave which, more than 2,000,000 bats use as their home.
Khao Kaen Chan This hill is located in the vicinity of Amphoe Muang and it is 141 meters high. There is a road to its peak where a Vihara housing Phra Phuttha Nirarokhantarai Chaiwat Chaturathit Buddha image is located.
Phra Phutthachai Tham Rusi Khao Ngu This is a stone cut Buddha image in the attitude of giving the first preaching sermon which is the oldest among the four built in the Dvaravati period. It is seven kilometers from the provincial township along the Ratchaburi-Suan Phung Road (Highway No.3087).
Tham Khao Bin This cave is located 22 kilometers from the township. On the left one can see Khao Bin Jungle Park Office. From there one can reach the cave by an asphalt paved road of 1.7 kilometers distance. This cave is in the Khao Bin Range having an approximate height of 200 meters. There are stalactites and stalagmites looking like eagles spreading their wings; this configuration gave the name of Tham Khao Bin.
Tham Chomphon Arboretum. This cave arboretum is located in the vicinity of Amphoe Chom Bung, 30 kilometers west of the provincial township area. The cave was originally called Tham Mutchalin; it is located in a mountain which is 191 meters high situated in the township area. In the year 1895, King Chulachomklao and Queen Si Phatcharin made a royal visit and they liked the beauty of this cave very much, thus, giving a new name to it, "Tham Chomphon". There are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites in the cave which also houses a medium sized Reclining Buddha. In front of the Comphon Cave lies an arboretum having various species of plants and trees. It is a suitable place for relaxing.
Kosinarai Pond This ancient pond is near the office of Amphoe Ban Pong. Evidence found from archaeological excavations reveals that the area used to be an old city in ancient times. Items found, include, five arms of Phra Bodhisatva Lokesuan made of red sandstone and a pair of Phra BodhiSatva's feet, now stored in the National Museum.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market This is alternatively called by the villagers as Khlong Lat Phli Floating Market and is located approximately 400 meters from the site of Amphoe Damnoen Saduak Office. One can hire a boat from Potchawan Landing or from Seri Khemi Kaset Landing to view the floating market which takes place from 06.00 to 11.00 hours.
Chaloem Phra Chon Phansa Park This park is located in the area of the Chomphon Mountain foothills and occupies an area of more than 100 rai. It is utilized as a place for relaxation and as an overnight stop for tourists.
Pong Yup From Tham Chomphon on the way to the area of Amphoe Sean Phung, at 29 kilometers distance there is a branch road on the left leading to Tambon Tha Khoei. There, a piece of land has sunk down causing a high cliff outbreak with earthen pillars similar to those found at Phae Muang Phi in Changwat Phrae.
Nang Yai at Wat Khanon Wat Khanon is located in Amphoe Photharam. Nang Yai is well preserved at this place only. Nang Yai is an old form of entertainment which gathers many kinds of arts, for example Thai designs, sculpturing, male performers plus music, mask play and Thai Literature. This is then a beauty which, is protrayed on the screen and it can dance beautifully to the music and the one who makes it dance. At present, Ratchaburi province is organizing a Nang Yai performance for tourists. There are about 330 Nang Yai puppets all of which are still in perfect condition to be shown on screen.

Well, this left me speechless.
Openly gay Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson has decided that the best way to attract people to his cause is by tearing down others.
Here, as part of the "It Gets Better" project (designed to help young people cope with their homosexuality), he goes after Southern Baptists, Mormons and the Catholic Church — and more or less decides that not only are they all "flat out wrong," but that he alone "as a religious person" knows the mind of God. (Funny, on his laundry list of "wrong" religions, he doesn't mention Islam, or the Muslim countries that retain capital punishment for homosexuality.)
As a friend pointed out: "Remember the stink when Benedict began the Anglican ordinariate, how he was 'trolling' for members? THIS is what trolling looks like."
It's not pretty. Robinson is entitled to his opinion, and his own moral theology. We can respectfully disagree about his conclusions. But I can't respect the way he has gone about brazenly dismissing (and, in fact, misrepresenting) the moral teachings of others.
This sort of proselytizing is both uncharitable and offensive.
UPDATE: For a Catholic response to the tragedy of gay bullying and suicide, check out Fr. Jim Martin's excellent post and prayer.
UPDATE II: My brother deacon, Scott Dodge, has some sage thoughts on the Robinson video. And Scott has also reminded us of how Pope Benedict addressed a question about young people and homosexuality during his recent visit to Malta. It's worth re-reading.

Our moss wall garden contains a multitude of mood and reindeer moss with green hanging amaranthus inside a wood frame. A miniature landscape with gentle rolling hills of moss that beckon and soothe you, while its subtle shades of green evoke simplicity and peacefulness. Choose either the simplicity of a white distressed wood or a more modern black wood frame to offset the cool tranquility of this living arrangement. Ideal for creating a mini oasis in your home or office, moss walls are a modern interior décor trend with an ancient history. A thousand years ago, zen buddhist monks of Japan cultivated moss on stones and walls and considered it an essential element: a symbol of harmony, age, and tradition that facilitated meditation. This moss artwork is created from preserved mosses of reindeer, mood, pool and sheet and arranged artfully in a frame. The moss has been preserved by non-toxic means and require no care whatsoever. Can be displayed in any room but should not be in direct sunlight as the mosses will brown. Rooms with sunlight is ok - just not on the frame. Strong spotlights directed at wall will also cause it to brown, so please preserve the beauty of it and avoid that. We create each piece once an order is placed and it takes approximately one week, although if needed, we can rush that. Returns are not accepted (unless damaged) as each artwork has been created individually. Available as shown with white distressed or black frame: Frame dimensions: 24" width x 36" height Call us to inquire about custom wall garden designs, colors and sizes Each wall garden is a hand-crafted living landscape so finished pieces will vary We think you will enjoy the simplicity of this handcrafted moss picture and we hope you enjoy for years to come. Please allow one- two week for creation of the moss wall garden.
Each wall garden is a handcrafted landscape, so finished pieces may vary. Keep out of direct sun.

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with UML — A 3 day course
A practical introduction to object-oriented analysis and design, and how OOAD can use the Unified Modelling Language.
The course presents UML in the context of OO analysis and design, showing how the various UML diagrams can be applied at different stages.
The emphasis is on how UML is used, rather than simply what it is.
In addition, there is a chapter on phased iterative development, as exemplified by the Rational Unified Process. Even if delegates are not going to use the RUP in their own projects, it is useful to see how OOAD and UML can fit into a development methodology.
What The Course Doesn't Cover: OO programming, traditional analysis and design.
Suitable For
Anyone interested in learning how UML is used in the design and analysis phases of OO projects
This course can be presented as a general introduction to OOAD, or it can be slanted more towards the analysis phase (if the delegates are primarily analysts) or the design phase (if the delegates are primarily programmers).
If the course is being presented to programmers, topics can be tied in to code examples. Hardware and software requirements for delivering this course at your site

If the title makes no sense to you, PostgreSQL is an open-source database. Replication means continuously copying changes from one database to another, e.g. for backup, scalability or high availability. And Bucardo is one of several pieces of software that help you achieve various forms of Postgres replication.
Why Bucardo?
First off, why Bucardo, especially since Postges 9.0 now has built-in hot standby/streaming replication (full docs)? Steve Signer wrote up some cases where you wouldn't want to/be able to use the built-in replication. A more detailed comparison of the various options is on the PG wiki.
I won't repeat everything you can find there, but at the highest level the built-in system works on the whole DB cluster, as opposed to specific databases or even tables. Also, it is designed to do so by essentially mirroring files, so it is highly recommended that the platforms (including OS and Postgres versions) match as exactly as possible. Both of these requirements don't suit me. I run FreeBSD and Ubuntu and would really like to replicate only certain tables within certain databases.
After looking at the various options in detail, I wanted to use something (at least initially) both free and open source. Bucardo is written in Perl (so theoretically I could contribute patches); it is active (I looked at the changelog and mailing list); it is simple to setup and use (I looked at the docs); and it is very flexible (offers multi-master, multi-slave, and even cascading slave configurations).
However, note that Bucardo replication usually lags a few sec behind (depending on network config), so you will lose data if the master goes down and is not recovered properly. That is, it is not synchronous replication as available in 9.1, which confirms that changes are made in both DBs before committing (though also has the drawback of slowing things down a bit).
My stuff is generally read-only on the slaves and data can be out of sync (or lost), so the Bucardo model (which works off of triggers) is perfect for me at this time. Nevertheless, you can do failover via Bucardo, easier with a swap sync.
Bucardo Overview
The Bucardo documentation is pretty good so I won't rehash it all. Installation is straightforward -- you install a few Perl modules and then are left with a command line program called bucardo_ctl, which controls everything. I noticed the online documentation can differ from the man page in details, so you might want to look at both. Also on the wiki, i noticed not everything is in linked properly from the main pages, so you might want to use the search feature if you're looking for something in particular.
The documentation goes through an example if you want to play around with it. Here's an even simpler one:
createdb testa createdb testb create table test (id integer primary key); bucardo_ctl add database testa name=testa bucardo_ctl add database testb name=testb bucardo_ctl add table test db=testa bucardo_ctl add herd test_herd test bucardo_ctl add sync test_sync source=test_herd targetdb=testb type=pushdelta
The above will create two databases. You should issue the create table command in both. Then you add the databases to the bucardo database (which is stored in a postgres DB named bucardo). A "herd" is just a set of tables to replicate, so we add the test table from testa. Then we add a sync.
bucardo_ctl stop bucardo_ctl start testa=# insert into test (id) values (1); bucardo_ctl status Ins/Upd/Del: 1 / 0 / 0 testb=# select * from test;id----1(1 row)
Stop and start bucardo, which is the easiest way to ensure the new sync starts. Then insert a row in testa and see it appear in testb. bucardo_ctl status will tell you that the one row was inserted.
Non-obvious notes
After messing around with this live for a week, I've noticed a bunch of things that were non-obvious (at least to me) that you might want to keep in mind.
- On install, you may need to add Perl to Postgres or you'll get a weird error. You can do that with this commnd:
createlang plperl template1 -U pgsql
- The verbosity flags to bucardo_ctl currently don't do much, e.g. --quiet doesn't make things quiet. To turn off the debug log (which gets big fast because it is high verbosity), use debugfile=0 when starting bucardo_ctl. Bucardo is aware of this issue and will be cleaning this up in future releases.
- The sendmail=1 flag to bucardo_ctl works, but you have to set your from and to email first by doing bucardo_ctl set default_email_from=whatever, etc. However, if you have a situation where a sync fails repeatedly you'll get a ton of emails, like multiple a sec. So I turned this off for now until that case is fixed (I just reported it).
- There is a debugdir flag you can pass to bucardo_ctl, If you don't set this, logfiles will get printed to the directory where it is started, so I would cd to that directory first or use the flag.
- If you have a sync that fails, e.g. from network error, and you keep writing stuff to the master db, when it comes back online it will try to copy everything that changed at once. This can dramatically impact performance on the target. You could do a manual sync up in that case (on an off-peak time and in a secondary table) and avoid the bucardo process doing it for you. If you do that (or decide to just ignore those changes), you need to flush the track and delta tables for that database, e.g.
psql db bucardo
delete from bucardo_track;
delete from bucardo_delta;
If you also want to delete all the old sync info (since it could have failed quickly thousands of times), you need to do the following.
psql bucardo bucardo
delete from q;
Note that in the first case you are connecting to the db as the bucardo user and not your regular database owner user. In the second case you are connecting to the bucardo db and not the db being replicated.
- To completely remove bucardo (e.g. if you want to start over), it is not enough to remove the bucardo db since extra tables were added to the other databases (being replicated) and extra triggers to the tables within them. You need to also issue this command.
psql template1 pgsql
drop schema bucardo cascade;
- If you want to completely shutdown a running sync going awry and make sure everything is stopped.
bucardo_ctl stop
ps auxww | grep -i bucardo | awk {'print $2'} | xargs kill -TERM
You want to also issue that command on remote machines to ensure those processes are killed.
- It initially confused me how to add a remote DB. You add it to bucardo like this:
bucardo_ctl add database waki name=test host=test.duckduckgo.com
That is you past in the fully qualified domain name as the host parameter.
- To test that a sync can work, i.e. it can reach the host in a properly authenticated manner, you can do
bucardo_ctl validate sync_name
You will need to do two things for this to complete successfully. First, there needs to be a bucardo user on the remote machine with access to the db. The simplest way is to make it a super user, a la
su -m pgsql -c 'createuser -sDRw bucardo'
on FreeBSD or on Ubuntu like this:
sudo su -m postgres -c 'createuser -sDRw bucardo'
Second, you need to allow the host machine to talk to the remote machine, i.e. you need to enable remote access. This is a two step process. In postgresql.conf you need to change listen_address and add in that IP or use * to listen on all. Second in pg_hba.conf you need to add in a way for the remote bucardo user to authenticate. Again the easiest way is to trust that IP, though security-minded people will probably want to shoot me for suggesting it. Either way, you can test it by using psql and passing in host parameters or just issuing the validate command above.
- The quickest way to tell if things are working is to do
bucardo_stl status
which will tell you info on all your syncs or
bucardo_ctl status sync_name
for detailed info on one sync. Look at the Last_bad and Last_good times in particular.
- To remove a sync, it is not enough to remove it in bucardo. You also have to remove the triggers it added on the various tables. You could remove everything as noted above and start over. But it if is just one table, you can just remove the triggers like so:
psql db dbname
drop trigger bucardo_add_delta ON table;
drop trigger bucardo_triggerkick_sync_name ON table;
Note if you have multiple syncs on the table you don't need to drop the delta table, but just the triggerkick one. If you don't do this and add another sync you'll end up with multiple triggers, which you don't want.
- If you are replicating to multiple slaves, I found that it is better to use a sync for each one instead of one sync to all (via a db group). The reason is if one is unavailable it will bring down syncing to all, which a) stops syncing for good machines and b) results in that problem above where you do a big sync when everything is back up.
- To delete a db test without removing your whole install, you can do this:
bucardo_ctl deactivate sync_name
bucardo_ctl delete sync sync_name
bucardo_ctl delete target_db_name
bucardo_ctl delete herd herd_name
bucardo_ctl delete table table_name
bucardo_ctl delete db source_db_name
Then drop the triggers as noted in the above procedure.
- When upgrading bucardo, it is not enough to just install the new Perl module. You also need to:
bucardo_ctl upgrade

Autumn has always been my favourite season but I used to have Spring as a close contender. Not too warm, not too cold. Since I have actually been consistently running enough to call myself a runner this year, I've decided I really don't like Spring after all. We need to talk.
I went out for a run today having checked out the weather forecast – a band of cloud heading for us but a bit of rain doesn't bother me. It felt ok when I went out – not too hot and good cloud cover to keep the sun away.
As I got a few kilometres down the road, the wind whipped up. Only it's a northerly wind which, in Australia, means it's warm and offers very little relief. Then, just when I'd been nicely wind roasted, the clouds parted and gave me a dose of sun to crisp me up nicely as well. Getting to the final part of my course, a lap around the park, I discovered they'd been mowing the grass so my hayfever kicked in and had me sneezing for the rest of the run.
Ironically, the rain held off until I walked in the door at home.
Lesson learnt – I prefer running in Winter. And, until that rolls around, I need to remember to get up as early as possible and get out there while it's still cool.
When do you like to run? Any quirks of the seasons in your part of the world that you love or hate?

Dark Chocolate Revel Bars
This three-tiered cookie bar looked like it required three times the work. We gave it a second look.
Why This Recipe Works
Making a three-layer cookie bar can be trying. Usually, the project involves assembling and baking the dessert in stages, probably juggling a few hot pans along the way. We wanted something we could put together all at once and bake in one go. A standard trick for this kind of cookie bar is to make one dough work double duty, so that's what we did. We used part of the dough for the sturdy base and the rest to create a crumbly topping. A combination of oats and almonds gave these cookie bars a simultaneously chewy and crunchy texture. For a creamy fudge filling, we used sweetened condensed milk and the microwave instead of having to rely on complicated candy-making techniques. Dark chocolate chips provided the deep, bold, bittersweet flavor we craved from these revel bars. Best of all, these three-layered treats required only one trip to the oven.

Former Crockett and Pecos High School athlete Adrian Martinez was the
guest speaker, and recognition was also given to Pecos-Barstow-Toyah
athletic direction Mike Belew, who approved the plan for the banquet
last month, and to PHS volleyball coach Nora Geron, who is retiring
after 37 years of coaching at the end of the school year.
While all participants in athletics received certificates, other awards
were given to the top performers in each individual sport.
Outstanding athlete awards went to Adria Walker and to Chris Bryant,
while Walker also shared girls track honors with Yvette Barreno. Cesar
Coria and Jacob Mora were the track honorees on the boys' side.
Receiving the top awards in football were Trent Riley and Julio Franco,
while in volleyball, the honors went to Dee Dee Molinar and Crystal
Garcia. Basketball awards were given to Alex Garcia and Martin Guzman
for the boys, and to Philonicus Fobbs and Maricela Arenivas for the
girls, while tennis awards were won by Rachel Pharoah and Salem
Mitchell, girls swimming by Jo Ann Wein and Sarah Flores, boys swimming
by Grant Holland and Ty Edwards, girls golf by Cindy Mauldin and Sarah
Flores and boys golf by Cortney Freeman and Riley.
Three cheerleaders were honored as well at the banquet. Donna Spivey
received an award for most improved, Crystal Davis for most creative,
while Jenny Alvarez received the Elsa Herrera Memorial Cheerleading
Award. It was presented to her by Joey Herrera and is named for his
wife, who died in the May 22, 1987 tornado that hit Saragosa.
IRVING, Texas, May 24 -- The Masters. The Byron Nelson. What's next for
Tiger Woods?
The Colonial? Perhaps. Especially if he starts playing well.
Woods won his second consecutive tournament Sunday, adding the Nelson
to the Masters a month ago, and the most amazing thing about it was that
he played nowhere near as well as he did at Augusta.
In fact, Woods played very much like someone who had just taken four
weeks off, which he did.
``I really didn't have the swing in position where it was going to work
everytime, and I knew that,'' Woods said after a final-round 68 to tie
the tournament record with a 17-under-par 263, two strokes better than
Lee Rinker.
No one else made a serious run as Tom Watson and Dan Forsman finished
four strokes back at 267 and seven other players were at 268.
``I just had to trust my short game,'' Woods said following some deft
chipping and only 27 putts. ``My short game bailed me out. I got up and
down every time today.''
It all added up to his second consecutive victory on the PGA Tour,
following his record-setting win at the Masters. And he'll try to make
it three in a row at the MasterCard Colonial in Fort Worth later this
``People don't understand how hard it is to win out here unless you
play out here,'' Woods said when asked about the chances of making it
three in a row. ``It's not easy.''
But somehow Woods makes it look easy.
He started the day with a lesson from coach Butch Harmon, who drove
four hours from Houston after a late-night call from his pupil, and
ended it with an emotional hug from his mother, Tida, on the final
In between he hit all the right shots exactly when they were needed.
Woods took the lead for good while he was walking down the 14th fairway
and Rinker was making a bogey on the hole ahead of him.
A 240-yard driver off the fairway to the fringe of the 16th green for a
birdie put the tournament away, giving him a two-stroke lead.
The final two holes were then played in an unbelievable tunnel of noise
as many in a total gallery of 100,000 jammed around Woods. And Woods
responded with that winning smile and waved almost shyly to the adoring
``It was hard not to,'' Woods said about acknowledging the wild cheers.
``It kept getting louder and louder as I got closer to the greens.''
Woods is now the second-youngest person in the history of pro golf to
get five victories. Horton Smith, who played in the 1920s, had seven
wins before he was 21.
But Woods' five victories in his first 16 pro tournaments is unmatched.
Smith won only two of his first 16 starts.
And three victories in eight starts this year puts Woods on a path with
some of the best years ever. Jack Nicklaus won seven of 18 in 1973.
Jimmy Demaret won six of 12 in 1940. Smith's best year was eight of 22
in 1929.
The best year ever was by Ben Hogan, who won five of six tournaments in
1953, including the Masters, the U.S. Open and the British Open.
The $324,000 first prize gave Woods $1,294,591 for the year and put him
on a path to break the single-season money record of $1.7 million. The
victory also gave Woods $2,085,185 in winnings in just 16 tournaments --
making him the youngest and the fastest to get to the $2 million mark.
The previous record for money won in the first two years on tour was
$1.86 million by David Duval, and it took him 49 events.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Miami Heat merely had to
overcome a 3-1 series deficit and fight past the brawny New York Knicks.
The Heat earned the knockout Sunday with a 101-90 victory in Game 7.
A more daunting challenge awaits: the world champion Chicago Bulls, who
swept Miami in the first round of the playoffs last year. The conference
final begin Tuesday at United Center.
``We have to go in humble but go in strong,'' Heat coach Pat Riley
said. ``We can't show any fear against them, but we're playing one of
the greatest teams of all time.''
If Tim Hardaway plays the way he did Sunday, the Heat will at least
have a shot. Hardaway buried New York with a Heat playoff record 38
points, hitting six of 10 3-pointers.
The All-Star guard made five consecutive shots, the final three from
3-point range, as Miami's lead reached 71-50 in the third quarter.
``When I'm in that zone, you're at my mercy,'' he said.
``Hardaway shot the ball like he was on the playground,'' the Knicks'
Buck Williams said.
Alonzo Mourning added 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who
became just the sixth team to overcome a 3-1 series deficit. The only
other team to do it in the past 16 years was Houston, which rallied to
beat Phoenix in 1995.
``All I know,'' Riley said, ``is the last team that came back from 3-1
won a world championship.''
Facing elimination after Game 4, Riley rallied the Heat against his
former team. He gave them a tongue-lashing but also encouragement.
``One advantage we had was that he coached a lot of those guys,''
Miami's Jamal Mashburn said. ``He said, `You're not out of it at all. If
you play well, you can win. When things get tight, you never know what
might happen with those guys over there.'''
New York never recovered from a Game 5 brawl that resulted in the
suspension of five Knicks, including starters John Starks and Larry
Johnson for Game 7. Johnson, Patrick Ewing and Allan Houston were
suspended for leaving the bench during the melee, while no players left
the Heat bench.
``They know the rules; we know the rules,'' Miami's Isaac Austin said.
``We didn't clear the bench; they cracked as a team.''

Gakken likes radios. They've published at least 4 such kits so far. And I know that I said I was only going to buy the numbered mook kits, but I was feeling withdrawal and had to buy something to build, since the 8-bit microprocessor kit wasn't coming out for at least another 4 weeks. The 1 vacuum tube radio costs 3150 yen (approx. $36 USD).
AM radio transmissions consist of using a transmitter broadcasting at a specific frequency and varying the strength of the signal based on what you want to send (voice or music). The easiest method is to just hook up a microphone to the volume control of the transmitter and send your voice that way. Receiving the transmission then requires using some kind of circuit tuned to the desired frequency, and stripping that base frequency out to just leave the amplitude variations in place. This means that the receiver will have an antenna, a tuner circuit and an amplifier. While there can be many radio broadcasts simultaneously, only the broadcast on the frequency the tuner is set at will be strong enough to hear at that moment. Even so, the audio portion may still be too weak to hear as-is, which is why we need the amplifier.
This kit uses a special twist on the tuner circuit – the antenna is also part of the tuner. It's made up of two coils, and turning the inner coil acts as a fine tuning control. The rough control comes from a variable capacitor, and the high/low frequency switch throws in a parallel capacitor to select between the 500-900KHz and 900-1600 KHz bands.
If you're not familiar with vacuum tubes, you can imagine them as a really big, early version of a transistor. In order for a vacuum tube to work, it needs two power supplies – one for the primary signal power and the other for the heater filament. This kit uses three 9-volt batteries for the main power, and a 1.5V C cell for the heater. Rotating the C cell battery housing acts as the radio's on-off switch. Kind of clunky, but elegantly simple. Audio out is just a mono earplug. (Fortunately, because we're just using 1.5 V on the heater, the tube never gets hot enough to be a burn hazard, unlike with older-style tubes.)
The kit has less than 15 pieces, and the circuit board is preassembled in the base housing so you don't even need to mess with it. Suggested assembly time is 60 minutes. I took my time, rereading the instructions to make sure I got them right, and being careful while wrapping the antenna coils to avoid kinks – which is what took up all the time. You need to pull the wire a little tight – otherwise the wrappings will get too close to the edge of the form at the end and will unwrap on you – but not so tight as to snap the wire. The form is designed for an interleaved, alternating wrapping. If two consecutive wraps are on the same side of the tabs, you missed alternating on one of the tabs somewhere. The book says to start out with a 15 cm loose end, but that leaves a lot of slack on one end and not the other. Ideally, it'd be better to trim both ends of the coil to be about 4-6 cm when you're done, but the insulation on this wire isn't easy to remove, so I just balled up the slack to hide it at the back of the radio. Final assembly time was about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
You want to be a little careful in the handling of the vacuum tube, since strain at the base of the pins can crack the glass and let the vacuum out. There's a set of holes on the base of the kit for straightening out the pins before putting the tube in the socket.
The kit works fairly well, but there's no volume control on it and the sound level was pretty weak. You may want to add an audio jack to plug in a powered speaker. To operate the radio, rotate the C cell housing to the "on" position (the LED will light), then adjust the VC knob until you get some kind of voice, music or squealing. Slowly rotate the inner antenna coil (clockwise or counter-clockwise, doesn't matter) to fine tune the signal. The radio is directional, so you'll need to rotate the entire kit to obtain the optimal signal strength. In fact, the mook offers a suggestion to use a map for triangulating on the transmitter. Get a city map and a compass. Lay the map down pointing north and mark where your house is on it. Tune the radio and rotate it to get the strongest signal, then use a ruler to draw a line through your house in the direction indicated by the outer antenna. Next, go somewhere perpendicular to that line, about 1.5 or 2 km, and repeat the process. The transmitter then will be in the approximate area of where the lines cross.
The unnumbered mooks only discuss subjects directly related to the kits, so they're about half the pages of the numbered kits. This mook discusses the history of radio, talks about de Forest and Fleming, gives the theory of vacuum tube operations, and shows photos of various types of antique radios. The suggested mods are to add a bigger antenna, wrapping the antenna coil around an umbrella, and to use a telegraph key to send morse code to a second radio (requires cutting up the circuit board and adding a few extra parts).
Overall, the cheaper Gakken kits tend to be hit or miss. When they work well, they're really fun and offer lots of replay value. Otherwise, they just become something different to be placed on a bookshelf and forgotten. If you want a good, working AM radio, go to Radio Shack and plop down $10. If you like wrapping coils and learning how radios work, this is a good kit to pick up.

I lived with one of my best friends Lee, for almost 10 years. And even though Lee has since moved to Connecticut, I never could get far away from him. We've gone on countless bike rides and several extended bike tours together but he was always on his old KHS mountain bike and me on my old Raleigh Competition (also not a proper touring bike). Well, the KHS got stolen over the summer and Lee had wanted a Circle A for a while so that clinched it. I built him this touring/commuter bike that he will be pedaling around very soon. He came up with the paint scheme which has a sort of baseball inspiration. I also recently built myself up a touring bike and plan on doing some trips with Lee. Or at least have him meet me halfway on a trip out to visit him in Connecticut.

These are photographs from May 24, 2013. It was when I stayed in Amsterdam for about a week touring one of the European cities I've dreamed of. On one of the days, with two other Dutch fellows, I took a train from Amsterdam to Enschede, a city in the eastern Netherlands in the province of Overijssel. This city is very close to Germany.
The best of my short stay in the Netherlands is visiting many magnificent museums. Even in this sleepy town, I also went around to check out its museums and arts exhibitions.
A visit to Marc-Jan Trapman, whom I worked with in from the late 1999 to the early 2000s.

Mary Beth Johnson is a wife and mum to four schooners, as she's dubbed her children. On a normal afternoon, you would find her in moccasins, skinny jeans and a comfortable tee, camera in hand. Recently moving to the suburbs of Atlanta, Mary Beth spends her days homeschooling, sneaking away to the bookstore, trying to act the part of a southerner, and sifting through recipes in The Vegetarian Times. Food is her love language.
My husband came home from a restaurant one day and described an earthy dip/salad he had just tried. We had never heard of Tabbouleh up until that point but he asked me to attempt the dish at home and I went searching for a recipe. The traditional dish uses couscous or bulgur, but this combination using nutrient-dense quinoa was so flavorful I can't imagine making it any other way. I always keep a bag of TraderJoe's tri-colored quinoa in the pantry and paired with the fresh herbs from our garden I had mostly everything I needed on hand. Although this makes a large batch, my husband and I devoured this in two days with gluten-free crackers and pita chips - so fresh and summery! (This will store well for a couple of days and makes a great salad for lunch the next day or a make-ahead appetizer for company.)
Serves 6
"Quinoa lends itself well to the herbs and citrus of tabbouleh, and packs more plant protein than the traditional grain used, bulgur wheat. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving the salad, as the grains may absorb some of the added flavor."
- 1½ cups quinoa
- 1¾ tsp. fine sea salt, divided
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ cup lemon juice (from 3 small lemons) + a few drops of YL Lemon Essential Oils, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups diced tomatoes or quartered cherry tomatoes
- 1½ cups parsley, chopped
- 3 unpeeled Persian cucumbers, diced (1⅓ cups)
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced (1 cup)
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1. Rinse quinoa in fine mesh strainer under cool running water. Drain.
2. Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add quinoa, and toast 10 minutes, or until moisture evaporates and quinoa is fragrant and golden, stirring constantly with flat-tipped spoon or rice paddle.
3. Bring 21/2 cups water to boil in saucepan. Add 1/4 tsp. salt, then add quinoa. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover pan, and simmer 20 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff quinoa with a fork, and transfer to large bowl to cool.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt in small bowl.
5. Stir tomatoes, parsley, cucumbers, green onions, and mint into cooled quinoa. Pour dressing over top, and toss to coat. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until salad is cold.
