The foreclosure boom appears to have peaked in first-hit and worst-hit Minneapolis -- even while it continues unabated in the rest of Hennepin County.
St. Paul also reports new sheriff's sales dropping in recent months.
New foreclosures in Minneapolis dropped 10 percent from a year ago during August. That's the second month of the last four in which foreclosures have been down from a year earlier.
"It's done in north Minneapolis," said one neighborhood leader, Roberta Englund, who has been in the center of the fight against mortgage fraud there. "I'm not saying there won't be any, but the north Minneapolis neighborhoods are substantially foreclosed. I don't think that we will see an uptick."
St. Paul reports a 16 percent drop in August, and a scant drop in September.
"We're not sure if that's a trend, but we're hoping it is," said Natalie Fedie, a spokeswoman for the city.
The reason for the drop, experts say, could be simply that the supply of houses headed toward foreclosure is drying up. But they also point out that the problems stemming from the foreclosures are not going away any time soon.
For the first eight months of 2008, sheriff's foreclosure sales for Minneapolis are up 15 percent from 2007. But for the most recent four-month period, they're up only 3 percent, compared with an increase of 72 percent in the rest of the county. St. Paul's foreclosures are up 11 percent for the year to date.
Those who deal with foreclosures daily say that the foreclosure epidemic seems to be stalling in Minneapolis in part because it got started there earlier.
Foreclosure prevention counselors say that poorer neighborhoods that were redlined out of conventional credit for years were the first targets of subprime lenders who sometimes offered loans with predatory features that made foreclosures more likely.
Moreover, after the foreclosure of thousands of Minneapolis homes, especially on the North Side, the supply is dwindling, some foreclosure specialists say.
"You look at some of these streets in north Minneapolis and 75 percent of the houses have been foreclosed, and there's only so many houses you can foreclose on," said Brandon Nessen, executive director of Minnesota ACORN, an organization that counsels people facing foreclosure.
Some housing specialists warn that although the number of foreclosures has plateaued in Minneapolis, the impact has not. That's because people who have been foreclosed on have up to six months to vacate their house after the sheriff's sale. So more houses are continuing to go vacant and become subject to vandalism even if foreclosures are leveling, according to Cheryl Peterson, foreclosure prevention manager for Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
The glut of vacant houses is overwhelming the government and nonprofit response because ordinary buyers are finding it hard to get mortgages during the Wall Street panic over soured subprime portfolios.
In Minneapolis, more than 7,500 properties have been auctioned by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office since the beginning of 2006. In some cases, owners used the statutory six-month redemption period after the sale to refinance or sell the properties to stave off losing them. But most houses went to the hands of banks and sat empty, sometimes creating neighborhood eyesores or losing copper piping and other features to theft.
Minneapolis has used $11 million in state money and another $5.6 million just obtained through federal legislation to finance the purchase, rehab and resale of homes, mostly through the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corp.
GMHC has bought 78 homes, rehabbed 38 and resold 19, while the city's new Minneapolis Advantage program has helped another 45 people buy foreclosed homes. But those are a drop in the bucket compared with the more than 900 properties on the city's boarded and vacant properties list.
The credit crunch is forcing people to turn to a traditional tool for home finance that offers fewer protections for homeowners, the contract for deed. Although GMHC has made some use of this tool to bypass dried-up mortgage availability, some like Englund are concerned about property investors who are picking up devalued homes and selling them on contracts, often unrecorded despite a state law requiring that. Homeowners who miss contract payments lose their homes much quicker than those with mortgages. Peterson said

Everyone in this world is looking for eternal life. Especially concidering the times we are in nowadays. However, throught the biblical prophesies we can see exactly how God Almighty said we can recieve eternal life.
And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." Gen. 3:22
This verse is always overlooked. It speaks about the tree of life. Everyone knows about the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but no one ever speaks about the tree of life nor do they realize the importance of it.
Who ever eats from it will life forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, who on earth has ever seen a tree called the tree of life?
No one, because this verse is speaking parabolically as Christ already let us understand. (Matt.13:34)
Then what is the reality of the tree of life? Acording to John 6:53, if we eat Jesus flesh and blood we can have eternal life, and the way to eat Jesus Flesh and Blood is through the Passover (Matt.26:17-28). Also, in Genesis 3:22 if we eat from the tree of life we recieve eternal life. So let's see:
Shadow Reality..................(Heb. 10:1)
Old test. New Test.
Old Covenant New Covenant
Tree of Life Passover
Eternal life Eternal life
Even though it should be rocket science to see that the way to eat from the tree of life is thorugh the Passover, there is still something else hidden.....
"In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." Luke 22:20
In the bible there are two covenants; the old covenant and the new covenant. They also represent something else.......
"For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman...These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants....Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother." Gal. 4:26
According to the above verse, Our Mother is the reality of the new covenant Passover; which means she is the reality of the tree of life. Therefore our Heavenly Mother is the way to eternal life. How awesome is that! Thank our heavenly Father for revealing this great mystery of eternal life to us.

VMware Workstation 3.2
Features | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums
It may be possible to configure VMware Workstation so that you can use an operating system already installed and configured on a SCSI disk as a guest operating system inside a VMware Workstation virtual machine.
Using an existing SCSI disk - or SCSI raw disk - inside a virtual machine is supported only if the host has a BusLogic SCSI adapter. It may be possible to configure a host with a different SCSI adapter so the same operating system can be booted both natively and inside a virtual machine, but this approach is not supported by VMware. For details on some of the key issues involved, see Known Issues and Background Information on Using SCSI Raw Disks.
You must create a separate configuration for each guest operating system. Allow read/write access to the partitions used by that operating system only.
To use a SCSI raw disk, you must create your virtual machine configuration using the Configuration Editor.
In some cases, it is not possible to boot a raw SCSI drive inside a virtual machine because the SCSI adapter in the physical computer and the BusLogic adapter in the virtual machine describe the drive in different ways. The virtual machine might hang during the boot, VMware Workstation might crash or VMware Workstation might fail with an ASSERT or other error message.
This problem is most likely to affect smaller drives - less than 2GB.
In order to share the same BIOS interface used by IDE disks (which is required in order to boot), all SCSI disks need to have a geometry, which is a fabricated value for the number of cylinders, sectors and heads on the disk.
In fact, a SCSI disk appears to a computer as a single flat entity from sector 1 up to the highest sector on the disk. As a result, every SCSI vendor has its own approach to taking the capacity of a SCSI disk and generating a geometry to use for booting.
The conversion from a given geometry to an absolute sector number depends on the geometry. If you have a disk with a boot sector written by a program running on the host and you try to boot that disk inside a virtual machine, the boot program can fail if the host geometry does not match the geometry used by the BusLogic virtual SCSI adapter. The symptoms are that you see the first part of the boot loader - possibly an LI from LILO, for example - but then the boot either stops or crashes.
BusLogic uses the following rules for generating disk geometries:
In each case the number of cylinders is calculated by taking the total capacity of the disk and dividing by (Heads*Sectors). Fortunately, for sufficiently big disks, practically all vendors use 255 heads and 63 sectors.
In contrast to IDE adapters, SCSI adapters are not interchangeable and cannot all use the same drivers. That is, if you have an Adaptec SCSI host adapter in your machine and you remove it and replace it with a BusLogic SCSI host adapter, your operating system will most likely fail to boot unless you install a BusLogic driver.
Dual booting from a disk that is also used as a virtual disk is no different. To your operating system, it appears that the SCSI card in the machine suddenly changed from whatever you own to a BusLogic card, and your operating system needs to have a valid BusLogic driver installed. If that driver is not installed, you get a panic, a blue screen or some similar fatal error as soon as the boot process tries to switch from the BIOS bootstrap to the disk driver installed in the operating system.
Many operating systems have configuration information that is different for SCSI and IDE drives. For example, Linux uses /dev/hd[x] as the device name for IDE disks and /dev/sd[x] for SCSI disks. References to these names appear in
This is one reason that booting a raw IDE disk as a SCSI disk or vice versa does not work well (if at all).
However, even when you are dealing only with SCSI devices, it is possible for an operating system to encode information in a way that causes problems when you are dual booting. For example, Solaris names its SCSI disks /dev/c[x]t[y]d[z]s0, where the y represents the SCSI ID. So, if you had a raw disk configured as SCSI ID 3 on the host and as SCSI ID 0 in your VMware Workstation configuration file, it would move if you were running Solaris, and most likely Solaris would not boot.
The precise dependencies in various operating systems can be complex. That is why it is safest to configure SCSI raw disks in a virtual machine using the same SCSI ID as they use on the host.

As is the case with training for all distances from 800 meters to 100K, optimal 5K training programs incorporate strength and power training to optimize performance. Although strength training is often excluded from many runners' training programs or treated as occasional cross-training to be completed on non-running days, it is the backbone of great endurance training. The following exercises, as well as additional exercises to develop strength and endurance, can be found in Running Science.1. Side Sit-Up
Lie on one side with both legs extended and raised slightly off the floor. The side of the upper torso in contact with the floor should lie relaxed on the floor. Place the hand of the bottom arm on the floor to the front so that the arm is perpendicular to the body. Place the hand of the top arm lightly on the back of the head. (Do not pull on the head or neck during the exercise.)
More: 8 Best Core-Strengthening Exercises for Runners
Slowly raise the torso, contracting the abdominal muscles on the top side of the trunk and raising the legs at the same time. Slowly lower the upper torso and the legs back to the starting position on the floor to complete one rep. Don't let the upper body fall to the floor in an uncontrolled manner. Complete 15 reps on one side and then 15 on the other.

So this is sad: Danny Almonte, the onetime Little League World Series legend who turned out to be older than everyone had sad — and ended up marrying a woman 11 years his senior — is gonna need himself a new career.
In a really bad sign for his future major league career, Almonte was cut by the Southern Illinois Miners over the weekend. The Miners, which are based in Marion (a town two hours south of Mattoon, where Pete Rose spent his prison time), are members of the Frontier League, which, while fun, is pretty damned far from the Major Leagues. And Almonte couldn't even catch on there. Almonte had a 5.28 ERA in six appearances. He will now have to go back to his old job, a catch-all position that involved fixing typewriters, installing Beta Max machines and volunteering for Barry Goldwater.

text: I just installed Debian on a brand new machine with a Revo SSD drive, and laid out these partitions: boot swap lvm partition with root on it (usr, etc. are on a hard drive) My old Linux system had a boot partition of 32M, and, with a couple of kernels, was only half full. I started out with squeeze, then decided I wanted to go ahead and put sid on it, and don't have enough room in /boot (/ is on the lvm section). So, since I have 12G of RAM, I allocated 12G of swap, but I doubt I'll need that much. I could just increase the boot partition into the swap for enough room (booting from my install cdrom as the "live" cd), but I'd rather have /boot on the logical volume anyway, and therein lies my problem. I spent 2-3 days decoding lvm root on the SSD raid drive before I actually had a bootable system. I'm under the impression that /boot can be on an lvm logical volume, but this is how I finally got to a bootable state. Now, instead of reinstalling everything, I'm wondering if I can just get a boot directory on my root lvm, copy everything from the "hard" boot partition into it, and reboot. Here's an excerpt (for one kernel) from my grub.cfg file: Code: menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd3,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 7af19f51-2091-44b6-919a-cd4292f504e1 echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 ...' linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/revo_vg-root_lv ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 } Here's the device.map file: Code: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-3655QYX858580954 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-D164YAY66KI1B500 (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD204UI_S2H7JD1ZB03056 (hd3) /dev/mapper/sil_bgbhagahddai Here's the /dev/disk/by-id directory (hd1 isn't used in the grub.cfg file): Code: ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-3655QYX858580954 -> ../../sda ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-D164YAY66KI1B500 -> ../../sdb And here's my /dev/mapper directory: Code: revo_vg-root_lv -> ../dm-4 sil_bgbhagahddai -> ../dm-0 sil_bgbhagahddai1 -> ../dm-1 sil_bgbhagahddai2 -> ../dm-2 sil_bgbhagahddai3 -> ../dm-3 The sil_bgbhagahddai refers to the aggregated RAID array of two "disks" (SSDs). So, is it remotely possible to believe that I can make a boot2 directory in the SSD root logical volume and make these changes in device.map: Code: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-3655QYX858580954 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-REVODRIVE_OCZ-D164YAY66KI1B500 (hd2) /dev/mapper/sil_bgbhagahddai3 # third partition on the SSD (hd3) /dev/mapper/sil_bgbhagahddai And these conceptual changes in grub.cfg: Code: insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos1)' # or, maybe, '(hd2,msdos1)/boot2'? # or, maybe just '(hd2)', or (hd3,3), etc.?? and believe this will boot? I really want to have my /boot directory in a LV on the SSD so I'll never have to worry about this running-out-of-space thing again. If this will even work in principle, the msdos1 is a show-stopper, since that's a reference to a "hard" partition instead of an lvm volume, but I don't know what to replace it with or how to reference it, unless it is one of the choices in my "conceptual grub" comments. I've been through the grub2 documentation, and, so far, haven't even seen the "msdos1" flag documented. Is there a grub/lvm/RAID/SSD expert out there somewhere? TIA

We just love Gary Glen's Blog The Gary Glen Experience, first of all he is from Chicago and anyone who can BBQ and grill year round in Chicago is a friend of ours. His site is very extensive in what he offers his extensive passion for BBQ and applies it to his reviews, recipes and product recommendations. The Gary Glen Experience is a first class BBQ blog. We discovered Gary Glen on Twitter, and you can follow @GaryGlen on Twitter as a respected member of the BBQ community. BBQ Pro Shop just started to carry Yah Butz Big Butz BBQ Sauce and Gary recently reviewed Big Butz BBQ Sauce and here is an excerpt from what we would consider a professional review:
Apply the Meat Taste Test
On a batch of grilled chicken thighs and smoked pulled pork, I ran the sauces through some paces. The original hot performed quite well on the meat. The sauce's consistency held to the chicken and didn't drip all over the place on the pork sandwiches. The heat level toned down a bit once on both meats as did the smoke flavor on the smoked pork.
The Cranberry sauce seemed a bit thinner and required one more application on the chicken before serving, yet blended nicely into the shreds of the pulled pork. With less smoke flavor than the original sauce, it left my hickory smoke on the pork alone yet gave the chicken a mild smokey taste.
Please read the rest of Gary Glen's review HERE. Thank you Gary Glen for a great review. We are going to make some wings for the Super Bowl this weekend and apply Big Butz to the final product, my kids love sweet sauce and so we are excited to see how they come out.
You can buy Big Butz BBQ Sauce in all flavors at BBQ Pro Shop in the Sauces section.

Hi All,
So I just faxed off all my papers to Kennedy Krieger Nurse case manager. I was referred there by Dr. Feldman at Physical Medicine & Rehab at John Hopkins. I'm in my 6th month since my spinal stroke (T7 - T8). I have some small signs of healing. Like I can control the flow of urine in my cath. I feel stabbing all the time in my L big toe, and, I have lots of tingling in both legs.
I'm hopeful that they'll accept me and hoping to at least be able to stand by my birthday in May. We shall see.

So much of the top shelf of modern TV seems to pass me by. Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Newsroom, I've never really got into any of them.
I do, though, absolutely love Boardwalk Empire, so was thrilled to be able to sit down yesterday and catch the first episode of the third season.
Like Game of Thrones, it feels like an eternity waiting between seasons of these big HBO series, but like Game of Thrones - or Deadwood, Rome and Band of Brothers before them - it's always totally worth it.
Feel free to discuss that, or anything else you like, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. It's a big week for video games-hope you're having as much fun as we are.

KP Corp. Invests in Unique Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 Press
KENNESAW, GA—February 8, 2013—KP Corp., headquartered in San Leandro, CA, will install a highly-automated Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 in its Salt Lake City facility as the centerpiece of an extensive equipment investment this spring. The five-color perfecting model with coating tower will be configured with CutStar sheeter, Prinect Axis Control, AutoPlate Advanced, and Prinect Inspection Control PDF. It will be the first Speedmaster XL 106 to be installed in Utah, the only press in North America to boast this unique configuration, and the first press of its kind purchased by a North American commercial printing company and dedicated primarily to the production of printed materials for customers in the medical device industry.
KP's selection of the Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 supports the company's bedrock value proposition: to provide its clients with the means to drive revenue by working smarter and more cost-effectively while meeting the highest-quality standards.
"KP already has significant long-term experience working with leaders in the medical device vertical," said Brett Olszewski, chief sales and marketing officer. "Our choice to invest was an educated decision based on hands-on experience with leading companies, market research, and growth expectations in the target segment. Heidelberg's unique printing configuration is at the core of several other synchronized technology investments we've made to optimize our manufacturing supply chain."
The company, which offers 60 percent printing and 40 percent multi-channel services, provides a large selection of programs and specialty products for the life sciences and medical device industries. These include sub-assembly components, IT platforms, and marketing communications programs in critical procurement areas such as printing and packaging materials, mailing services, fulfillment, inventory management, and just-in-time distribution.
Supply Chain Management for Cost Efficiency
"As a company, we look at various links in the supply chain with an eye toward optimizing the entire chain," said Dave Bates, vice president of operations for KP's Central Region. "Here we saw an additional opportunity to help our clients design, re-engineer or otherwise modify production specifications to suit their needs, as well as have the capability to deliver the highest quality products efficiently and at lower cost. The leading-edge configuration of the new Heidelberg solution plays a critical role in that vision."
The Speedmaster XL 106 will replace two existing presses, "with capacity to spare," Bates said. Makereadies will get a boost from the Prinect Axis Control closed-loop measuring and control system, with an able assist from the Auto Plate Advanced plate-changing system. The XL 106 also will run twice as fast (15,000 sph) in straight and perfecting modes as KP's existing presses. "All that and more goes into cost efficiency," Bates added.
KP's emphasis on cost efficiency not only is good business, but also is a fundamental requirement in supplying a market where enormous sums are spent on research and development and on M&A activity. "The key players are always looking at cost reduction strategies to raise the needed cash," Olszewski explained. "In symbiotic relationships such as this, businesses work with fewer strategic suppliers in smarter ways to obtain cash to fund growth. Suppliers like KP benefit from additional volumes stemming from that growth. This is the sustainable business model."
KP's cost efficiency approach is timely in an environment of rising costs. "We estimate that our clients will see their costs rise this year as a consequence of regulatory requirements, taxation, and healthcare reform," Olszewski added. "One example is the 2.3 percent medical device excise tax starting in 2013. There is significant value to our clients and to us in finding cost savings and increasing the quality of the products we produce for them."
The modular design of Heidelberg presses enables users like KP Corp. to create a wide range of customer-specific configurations that are not only economical, but that also ensure the highest level of quality.
"You typically gain manufacturing efficiencies with a custom press configuration," Bates concurred. For example, KP already has taken steps to standardize on sheet size and paper to save money on the IFU documents (Information for Users) it produces. However, with the new Heidelberg CutStar system, "We'll also gain the ability to customize sheet size in order to skip the cutting department altogether and go direct to the folder, passing the savings on to our clients."
Obsessed with Quality
Quality—a key requirement in the world of medical device packaging—is a business imperative for KP Corp.
"The medical device segment is subject to strict quality requirements, up to and including sterilization of the materials we supply," Bates said. "The materials we print are subject to the same level of scrutiny as the medical devices themselves. Clients expect our products to be zero-defect. Random sampling doesn't cut it."
Because KP is ISO 9001:2008-certified and Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)-compliant, the company is accustomed to operating at very high quality levels. Elements of KP's comprehensive quality program already include audited standard operating procedures; standardized life sciences and medical device ISO training; continuous improvement programs; documented line clearance at every stage of production; internal and client-driven audits and benchmarks; in addition to a variety of in-line, quality alert and end-of-line inspection processes.
KP is applying the latest technology and automation to further improve its quality program. The addition of Heidelberg's award-winning Prinect Inspection Control PDF inline sheet inspection system adds an elevated level of product security by enabling the company to quantify and document its quality results in a completely transparent and traceable way for reporting back to its clients.
Prinect Inspection Control PDF is based on two high-resolution grayscale line scan cameras that reliably detect and capture minute defects inline, in real time, by comparing every printed sheet with a digital reference (at 15,000 sheets-per-hour). Nonconforming materials are flagged, alerted to the operator, and recorded in the system. This ensures that all printed sheets meet strict customer and regulatory requirements.
KP's new equipment configuration, featuring the Speedmaster XL 106, also will be used to produce a wide variety of healthcare-related, insurance and financial products. The company will send its press operators to Heidelberg's Tech Center in Kennesaw, GA for pre-installation training later this month.Installation of the new press is set to begin in March, with completion slated to coincide with the unveiling of the plant-wide upgrade during a grand opening celebration and client open house in May.

For Release Globally: June 2013
Caterpillar Forest Products and SATCO Ltd. have signed an agreement that gives Caterpillar the rights to sell and support SATCO harvesting attachments and parts worldwide. Caterpillar is the exclusive distributor everywhere except Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, where SATCO products will be offered both through SATCO's distributors and select Cat® dealers.
Headquartered in New Zealand, SATCO designs and manufactures a wide range of forestry attachments. "With this alliance, we can offer a full line of processing and directional felling heads for our FMs, track feller bunchers and the 501HD harvester," said Mike Duncan, Caterpillar Forest Products industry manager. "Cat dealers will offer a package fully supported by Caterpillar." Products will continue to carry the SATCO brand name.
Built to handle the rugged logging conditions in New Zealand and Australia, the beefy heads are constructed using high-grade materials. Hoses from the carrier to the head are routed through the linkage and are not exposed. This protects the hoses from damage and prevents them from over-bending causing premature failure.
The line includes seven processing heads and two directional felling heads. The processing heads range from a weight of 1190 kg (2,618 lb.) with a maximum cutting diameter of 635 mm (25 in.) to 3850 kg. (8,500 lb.) with a cutting diameter of 800 mm (32 in.). The felling heads are continuous rotation with optimal single stem felling ranges of 305-508mm (12-20 in.) and 457-762mm (18-30 in.). SATCO also offers debarking configurations for its products, in addition to a specifically designed debarking processor head. All heads are designed to be matched with Cat Forestry Machines (FMs), track feller bunchers and the Cat 501HD harvester.
The computer system in the processing heads is simple and easy to use. Main valves are rated at 420 bar (6100 PSI) and can easily handle carrier pressures. Roller arm pins are 80 mm (3+ in.). The heavy duty 3/4 in. main saw system features a 45 cc saw motor and large diameter bearing for smooth cross cutting and felling of large diameter trees.
The directional felling heads are fully hydraulic with no electronics and have the same structural beefiness of the SATCO processing heads. Both heads can be used for shovel logging. One of the heads, the SAT420, can also be used to load trucks. Simple and strong, these heads are low maintenance and an economical first step up from manual felling.
For more information contact your local Cat dealer.

I don't have a lot to say today. My photos will have to do the speaking.
This is a billabong (noun: a branch of a river forming a backwater or stagnant pool,made by water flowing from the main stream during a flood.) by a dear friend's place.
The beach we went to. It was windy and beautiful.
There were lots of blue bottles, a kind of jelly fish. They are small, but this one's tail was about 5 foot long. I have never been stung by one. Apparently it hurts a lot but it isn't deadly or anything.
I was inspired by the shells on this rock, but I didn't stop and draw them. In my head I used my friend as an excuse, but the truth was I didn't want the discomfort of the wind. I regret it.
We went around a corner to a protected inlet. Suddenly the entire atmosphere changed.
Interesting oysters on the rocks. They were in a state of petrification. What causes them to turn into rock? How does that work?
I have been working in the studio. I think I have finished another painting, but I would like to give it its own post. I am hoping to write about it like I did the last one.
Also I have started experimenting with some techniques from Alabama Chanin techniques. Natalie Chanin is a woman who runs a clothing business, Alabama Chanin, where all the clothing is hand-stitched. She has been generous enough to share her techniques in books. I will take some photos if it looks half decent as I get further along. So far I am starting slow and just planning to alter a t-shirt.

Hey all! 你们好!
If you've been wondering why I've been AWOL over the past few months, it's because I've been a little busy. Oh, and I'm in Beijing now. No big deal.
I figured I'd better discover my own cultural heritage before immersing myself in other various continents, getting lost out in the big wide world.
I'll be here for a year til mid-late February 2015 so I have plenty of time to explore everything Beijing (and beyond!) has to offer. I'm actually supposed to be here to study Chinese, as my year abroad is part of my degree – but of course, I'm loving the process of settling into a new culture… and reaping the benefits of being a hungry journalism student in a foreign city on the lookout for internships and authentic experiences.
So if you want to keep updated on my travels (I'll talk Chinese food, sights, language, culture, fashion, etiquette, even travel advice), head on over to Beijing on a Bike! Vroom vroommm…

Standing outside the muddied canvas of the artist tent at this year's Standon Calling festival, I try to recall the last time that I was this nervous. It's been some time. Looking down at the smudged scrawl of my notes I'm pretty sure my hands are shaking, my handwriting suddenly assuming an arcane quality, just baffling lines and shapes divorced from any meaning.
A few moments later and the PR is lifting the flap and gesturing through into a sparse rectangle with just some plastic stools and a battered sofa breaking up the trodden grass. Saul Williams is rising from the latter, one hand outstretched in greeting whilst the other clasps a bottle of beer: he seems taller than remembered, a towering figure, staggeringly intimidating in a way that his smile does little to counteract.
It's been three years since the last time I met Williams, soaked through with sweat and rain on Brighton's seafront shortly after his 2008 Great Escape performance at the tiny Volks. On that occasion I barely lasted a minute before my thoughts scattered in fright and I bid an embarrassed farewell: today we have somewhat longer. Well, only five minutes officially, but it's nearly three times that before Williams pauses for breath, the beer merely warming in his hand as he flits between topics, cadence accelerating as he fires off points like artillery on music, film, politics and Lady Gaga. And, of course, his own new album Volcanic Sunlight, released in May in France and the US but yet to receive a date here.
DiS: Listening to Volcanic Sunrise, it definitely takes a different sound to previous releases. How would you describe it?
Saul: Ah, how would I describe it? I wouldn't! But if I were to give it a shot I would say that it's me exploring the possibilities of writing without anger.
So is that a conscious decision then, to remove anger from your work? Previous records have been pretty angry…
Saul: That was the decision for this album, you know. Me and anger still get along pretty well, and I'm sure we'll collaborate more in the future... But I wanted to do something different - I felt like after Niggy Tardust I needed to explore something different. And also that's an intellectual idea - just personally I wanted to make music that reflected what I actually listen to a lot.
So what are you listening to?
Saul: At this moment... I'm listening to old stuff right now, like Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith. Everything I've been listening to is old with the exception of a few new albums, PJ Harvey and stuff like that. All the other stuff I listen to, like Watch The Throne or something - I listen to that just so I can say 'I listened to it...' Oh yeah yeah, I checked it out! So there's a bunch of stuff that I checked out that's new, but there's nothing that's gone on rotation, with the exception of a few things like Metronomy - that's been played more than once. I've been in more like an old music zone - Kasai Allstars and the Congotronics stuff, and I've really been into a lot of polyrhythm and either new African music or dealing with archival tribal recordings. Some of my favourite stuff has been like pygmy albums… I don't know if there are any pygmy rock stars I can name...
Is that because you're finding newer artists less interesting…?
Saul: Oh no no, not at all, not at all. No, it's just me personally - I go through cycles of really wanting to be up on everything that's out there and not giving a fuck. My purpose for instance with the African tribal stuff - I just finished shooting a film in Senegal for two months, and the director gave me a bunch of music to prepare. It was all this different indigenous music from the continent of Africa, and it's only been a month since I've been back and I'm still kind of in that zone, and so at that point I cut off a lot of stuff because I was acting and needing to be in character so I haven't really broken out of that mode yet.
What's the film?
Saul: It's called Aujourd'hui, which means 'today' in French, and it's the last twenty-four hours in the life of a man who lives in a fictitious African village where the dead come and choose one person, and he wakes up and attends his own funeral, a funeral by the living to say goodbye. It's all the stuff he wants to do in his last twenty-four hours, and it raises some interesting questions circulating around the idea of living every day like it's your last.
Does that tie in with your decision to make your new music more positive?
Saul: What's funny is that my other albums might have been angry but I think they might also be classified as positive. I was never comfortable as a singer, with thinking of myself as a singer - I grew up singing in church and stuff like that but I wasn't a soloist - and I had to really push myself and challenge myself to feel comfortable singing in public. This album is part of a continuation of that challenge that I gave myself to go though, giving myself license to explore. And once again it was also that idea of making something that is reflective of my personality in all of its circumference as opposed to this is how I channel my anger, you know.
Certainly on initial listens Volcanic Sunlight seems less political than earlier albums. Given that previous tracks such as 'Act 3 Scene 2' very much had an agenda - they're trying to make a difference - do you feel that you are less political as an artist now?
Saul: I think that it's impossible for any individual to make a choice that cannot be interpreted as political. For example you get an athlete like Michael Jordan who says "I'm not political" and that's a political statement, you know. So, I think that there is a world above and beyond the politics of it all and what I aim to do - I'm speaking about volcanoes and the depths and the core of things. When you get to the core of things you're beyond the politics of race, beyond the politics of gender, beyond the politics of class, but in order to get beyond these politics it seems as if one must first confront these politics. My early albums were me confronting a lot of these things, ending with Niggy Tardust which was me essentially saying you will never hear me fucking reference race again. That's why it's called The Inevitable Rise and Liberation, because the end point of that is When I'm done with this, I'm done. I did it. And I felt that the end of that process was accomplished, that I made the album that I wanted to make that confronted and tackled that topic. Now if I were to continue with that it all that effort would just be redundant! But my family and friends never thought of me as an angry person: it's something that's been projected through music and what have you, because like I said I've channeled things…
Was that a product of the times, do you think?
Saul: It was very much a product of the times, and also a product of the times in which I was born in and raised, and so once opportunity struck me, like - here's a microphone, some money and some speakers, what you say is going to reach people, I was like if I die tomorrow I want this to be said, I would love for this message to be transmuted through speakers.
Do you think music should have a message?
Saul: I think that every individual approaches music from a different place and in a different way. Perhaps in the same way that you cannot escape politics you cannot escape whatever it is that's happening in music, and even in that 'Boom Boom Pow' there's something - although I have no idea what! But, no, not necessarily: I don't feel that all artists must make the strongest of political statements, must make those ties and observations known. However, if I feel like an artist is trying to escape that, and it's a time or a moment where it should be addressed or the opportunity is there and it's not taken advantage of - well, that is noted in my little book...
There's a view that fewer artists at present are attempting to confront the larger issues…
Saul: I kind of feel the opposite, I feel like right now there's two things: I feel like the pop machine is crazier and shinier than it's ever been, more thoughtless and more image-centred than ever. I'm a fan, for example, of Lady Gaga's presence and image, and I've yet to become a fan of the music: it feels like it's the music that's suffered there… In the stuff that's in that realm I feel an emptiness, a vacancy. But then Gaga is addressing something that - perhaps for the gay community especially - is really important for these times and for this day and what have you. But they deserve better music!
There's an argument that Lady Gaga is slightly cynical in her targeting of that group anyway…
Saul: There is that possibility. Any artist can tune in to the time and say this is a good time to sing a song about this because it's on the news and if I do that it'll be a hit...
But do you feel that musicians and artists should be using their voices in a political way?
Saul: I think it's difficult. For myself right now when I look at the immensity of all that's happening in the world from the Arab Spring to the London riots to the tsunami, the chaos in Japan and the fall of the economy… All these continual questions about everything that's been happening globally: Palestine, Israel, all this shit that we are on the cusp of from every angle, the intensity in the youth and the vacancy in the music which speaks of the fact that if that's vacant then something else is full. How do you address that...?
...In a three minute pop song…
Saul: How do you address that! It is daunting.
Can film do it better, maybe?
Saul: Perhaps, because film is inclusive of all of these feelings. It's a challenging time, but what's great about these times, with these failing economies and such, are those individuals who choose to follow their hearts rather than follow their financial ambitions. I applaud any and all artists that attempt to make music, whether it speaks to me or not. I think it's a worthwhile endeavour, as is writing poetry or theatre or trying to write screenplays or books or novels or painting or building with your hands and all of these things. Because we're going to find something individually through that process and to me that's important. It's like Radiohead said, "You can try the best you can", the best songs already were - so fuck it! It's never going to be 1968 again and that sucks, it sucks, but we just have to acknowledge it…

Ants are a social insect that have a developed caste system where individuals are responsible for specialized duties. Ant colonies can be found almost anywhere including-kitchens, roof voids, lawns, gardens,timber,rockeries etc. Ants are fussy feeders but can feed on almost anything consumed by humans. Different ants like different foods - preferring fats & oils, proteins or sugars.
When ants find food, they leave an invisible chemical trail, called "pheromone", so that other ants can find their way from the nest to the food source. These "trails" of ants are very persistent even in extended periods of wet weather. Simply killing the ants you see still leaves this scent trail for the others in the nest to follow. Ants can damage furnishings, curtains and carpets. They are not only an unpleasant sight but can also damage food used for human consumption.
We have over 10 years of experience in ant removal in Grand Junction. You can trust our service staff and professional ant removal professionals in Grand Junction to be experts at what they do as they have are fully licensed and trained.

Like many others on planet.gnome, it seems I also don't feel like posting much on my blog any more since I post almost all major events of my life on social media (or SOME, as its for some reason now known as in Finland). To be honest, the thought usually doesn't even occur to me anymore. :( Well, anyway! Here is a brief of what's been up for the last many months:
- Got divorced. Yeah, not nice at all but life goes on! At least I got to keep my lovely cat.
- Its been almost an year (14 days less) that I moved to London. In a way it was good that I was in a new city at the time of divorce as its an opportunity to start a new life. I made some cool new friends, mostly the GNOME gang in here.
London has its quirks but over all I'm pretty happy to be living here. One big issue is that most of my friends are in Finland so I miss them very much. Hopefully, in time I'll also make a lot more friends in London and also my friends from Finland will visit me too.
The best thing about London is the weather! No, I'm not joking at all. Not only its a big improvement when compared to Helsinki, the rumours about "Its always raining in London" are greatly (I can't stress on this word enough) exaggerated.
- I got my eyes Z-LASIK'ed so no more glasses!
- Started taking:
- Driving lessons. Failed the first driving test today. Having known what I did wrong, I'm sure I wont repeat the same mistakes again next time and will pass.
- Helicopter flying lessons. Yes! I'm not joking. I grew up watching Airwolf and ever since then I've been fascinated by helicopters and wanted to fly them but never got around to doing it. Its very expensive, as you'd imagine so I'm only taking two lessons a month. With this pace, I should be have my PPL(H) by end of 2015.
Turns out that I'm very good at one thing that most people find very challenging to master: Hovering. The rest isn't hard either in practice. Theory is the biggest challenge for me. Here is the video recording of the 15 mins trial lesson I started with.

Comcast Gun Commercial Ban Hits Indiana Gun Stores
A decision by Comcast Corp. to ban commercials touting firearms and ammunition has left some Indiana gun stores searching for new ways to advertise their products.
The Journal & Courier reports Comcast made the decision to ban such commercials after recently finalizing its purchase of NBC Universal.
Comcast Spotlight is Comcast's advertising sales division. Comcast Spotlight spokesman Chris Ellis says the division ``decided it will not accept new advertising for firearms or weapons moving forward.''
Rick Oliver, who owns the Lafayette-area gun store Haley's Lodge, says he's been told the store's TV ads will no longer be accepted. Oliver says he's confused by the ban because he's been running TV ads for 30 years. He says plans on reallocating his television advertising budget to radio and print.

HARRISON, N.J. – The word "disgrace" was batted all around the LA Galaxy locker room on Sunday following the team's 1-0 win over New York in the first leg of their Western Conference Semifinal at Red Bull Arena.
Goalkeeper Josh Saunders used it. Landon Donovan did, too. But they certainly weren't discussing their own performance in the edgy, hard-earned road victory.
Rather, they were describing the fireworks that erupted after the final whistle, when Red Bulls midfielder Rafa Márquez hurled the game ball at Donovan near midfield.
"I saw it," said Donovan, "and I think Adam [Cristman] saw it as well. So Adam was sticking up for his teammate."
Cristman immediately confronted Márquez and sparks flew. As the Mexican international appeared to attempt a head butt and a haymaker (neither landed) before falling to the turf, LA midfielder Juninho and New York defender Stephen Keel rushed in. Just like that, it was a full-blown melee at midfield.
When the dust settled, Márquez and Juninho were red-carded. Both players will miss the second leg in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The game had been physical, with several meaty tackles launched across the sodden pitch, which had absorbed a snowstorm the night before. But had this kind of trouble been brewing?
According to Donovan, who did not mince words, the answer was yes.
"There a few plays where they took some cheap shots at us," he told reporters after the match. "In all my years in this league, I've not played against a cheaper team, and they've been doing it all year. We saw it a few weeks ago with [Thierry] Henry kneeing someone in the back. We've seen that stuff all year. You just deal with it, and at the end of it, the cream rose to the top, and the better team won."
Clearly, the temperature in this rivalry is on the rise. New York coach Hans Backe was notably terse in his postgame comments, insisting his Red Bulls can win the second leg at the Home Depot Center.
Mike Magee, who scored the game's only goal off an assist from David Beckham, was less inclined to give bulletin-board material.
Asked if New York has chippy play as "part of their makeup," as Donovan said, Magee emphatically denied it.
"No, no – they're a good soccer team," the former Red Bulls player said. "We lost our heads, too, so we can't point the finger at them."
Whatever you think of the character in the New York locker room, this rivalry, and Thursday's second leg, are now officially appointment viewing.

To all vegetarians, this is a warning: you may want to look away. The above image may be considered disturbing and may tempt you to return to your past life of luscious, meaty indulgence. You may experience loss of control and trouble keeping your tongue in your mouth at the sight of this tender, succulent meat soaked for hours in red wine, vegetables and spices.
And we wouldn't want that, now would we?
I'm unashamed to admit that this recipe isn't the famed one of Julia Child, though reading the "Julie & Julia" book was what initially inspired me to take on the task of whipping up a bourguignon. And, actually, I can't believe I just typed "whipping up" and "bourguignon" in the same sentence, because that is definitely too simple a phrase to describe the process, which is fun but time-consuming. The term it deserves is more like, "creating." Creating a bourguignon! Yes, that'll do.
To those who love to cook and love to sink their teeth into a meal that is indescribably tender, warm and cozy to the core, I'm sure you'll find this recipe, which I followed from the Joy of Cooking cookbook, an enjoyable challenge and one that you'll be very proud to have completed.
This bourguignon is quite a bit easier than Julia Child's (about 30 fewer steps to follow!), but is just as scrumptious, flavorful and memorable of meal as winter starts to wind down. So, dig out that monstrous, heavy Dutch oven one last time, roll up your sleeves, turn on some good music, and if you want, grab someone to help you out. This is one recipe you're gonna love!
Beef Bourguignon
- ① 2-3 pounds boneless beef stew meat such as shoulder chuck
- ② 2 cups dry red wine such as Pinot Noir
- ③ ¼ cup olive oil
- ④ 1 onion chopped
- ⑤ 1 carrot chopped
- ⑥ 2 stalks celery chopped
- ⑦ 1 garlic clove chopped
- ⑧ 1 bay leaf
- ⑨ 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
- ⑩ 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or ½ tsp. dried thyme
- ⑪ 1 tsp. cracked black peppercorns
- ⑫ ½ tsp. salt
- 4 ounces bacon divided (about 5 strips)
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2 cups small boiling onions peeled (such as pearl onions)
- 2 cups mushrooms quartered
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cut the meat into 2-inch cubes. Place meat in a large bowl and add ingredients 1-11. Stir to combine and coat the meat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, turning the meat occasionally.
- With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the meat to a plate, reserving the marinade, and pat dry (The meat will not brown if damp). Strain the marinade into a bowl, and reserve the liquid and the vegetables separately.
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add and brown bacon, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon, leaving the fat in the pan. You should have 2 tbsp.; If not, add vegetable oil as needed. Return the pot to medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches (half at a time) and brown on all sides, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer back to the plate. Add the reserved vegetables and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the marinade, then return the beef and bacon to the pot. Add small onions. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until the meat is fork-tender, 1 to 1 ¼ hours.
- Add mushrooms. Cover and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Skim off the fat from the surface. Add chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
- Enjoy!

Shutdown ends, Government Reopens
October 17, 2013
Government Reopens for Business
With the looming threat of the U.S. defaulting on its debt obligations, both chambers of Congress passed a Senate proposal to end what has been a 16-day shutdown of the federal government, essentially buying more time to resolve deep divides over spending and policy priorities. The deal reopens the government through January 15 and lifts the debt ceiling through February 7, meanwhile instructing Congress to come to an agreement on long-term FY14 spending by mid-December. All eyes have been on the deal-making process, but thorny budget negotiations are far from over and vast differences remain regarding spending caps and cuts. There is a great deal of advocacy to be done before the end of this year, and the issue areas that will need the most immediate support of orchestra advocates are funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, support for arts education, and the status of charitable giving incentives, as Congress considers revenue and spending priorities. The League represents orchestras on the Hill and will keep you informed of ongoing opportunities to weigh in with your elected officials.
Happy Birthday to Artists from Abroad!
October is Arts and Humanities Month
Arts and Humanities Month is celebrated every October, and in an official proclamation, President Obama declared: "Throughout our history, America has advanced not only because of our people's will or our leaders' vision, but also because of paintings and poems, stories and songs, dramas and dances. These works open our minds and nourish our souls, helping us understand what it means to be human and what it means to be American." Please feel welcome to share via the League's Facebook page the ways in which your orchestra is celebrating the capacity of the arts and helping to nurture and inspire citizens of all ages.

According to the U.S. National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), bug-ridden, poor quality software costs U.S. businesses $59.9 billion annually. Moreover, says Caper Jones, the cost of identifying and repairing a software defect in a product that is already being used by consumer can cost upwards of $16,000 for each defect. Which is why IBM has introduced IBM Rational Software Analyzer, a tool that intelligently catches bugs and other defects while software is being written, instead of after it ships.
"The world is increasingly dependent on software, and in turn business processes and new products represent the majority of new requirements levied on development teams," says IBM's Daniel Sabbah. "Software project failures impact the bottom line and as levels of complexity in software continue to rise, software developers need to create more stable software in less time. This is the business reality of software and systems delivery."
Demand for on time and under budget IT projects is not a new phenomenon nor is the challenge of creating high-caliber software code. IBM claims that Rational Software Analyzer reduces the time development teams spend on time-consuming and error-prone manual testing processes, letting developers focus more on building software programs. For example, the Rational Software Analyzer has functions similar to the grammar checker commonly found in wordprocessing software, yet this technology helps developers find code and style errors instead of grammatical structure and diction. The software also provides suggestions on how to fix the bugs.
Built as an Eclipse 3.3 plug-in, IBM Rational Software Analyzer finds software errors, flags them and makes suggestions, reducing time spent reviewing software code prior to a software build. Much like an author follows rules and proof reads regularly to ensure a story is understandable and cohesive, Rational Software Analyzer can automatically scan each line of code up to 700 times, "grammar checking" the code before it goes into production.

5 Great Punch Recipes from Los Angeles Bars
Punch season is upon us. These festive concoctions are warming and easy to drink, often blending small dashes of various spirits with the sweet and tart flavors of fresh fruit, making them a bit less boozy and more sippable than spirit-forward classic cocktails. And perhaps spurred on by last year's publication of Dave Wondrich's Punch, these convivial, sharable concoctions are seeing a decided resurgence. We like to think of them as the bar's equivalent to the family-style meal.
Plus there's the practical appeal to punches. In the era of the hand-crafted bespoke cocktail, these multi-serving mixes are in many ways the bartender's (and party host's) best friend. We recently toured some of Los Angeles' best bars in search of truly delicious punches that you can make at home for holiday parties and family dinners.
Here are five great recipes, from heady champagne-topped elixirs to refreshing tequila concoctions.

Library Bar's Jamaican Waiting Punch

Guadalupe Bowl from Comme Ça

Before the year 1994, the nickname of this program used to be the St. John's Redmen. This was a reference to the uniforms which the teams wore in the event, which were red in color. This nickname's interpretation was taken as a reference to Native Americans, mainly due to the fact that their mascot also wore a Native American dress. That is the main reason why the University had to change the name of the athletic program from the Redmen to the St. John's Red Storm. Around this time, several universities and colleges had to change the names of their teams due to the mounting sensitivity of Native Americans. The old name Redmen, however, is still used by old fans of the event. On the 18th of September, 2009, a new mascot was chosen for the event. It was called the Thunderbird.
