Some of us think that 2011 was a good year for video games because Arkham City, Skyrim and the new Zelda weren't half-bad.
Michael Gallagher has other reasons to think 2011 was neat. He is the head of the Entertainment Software Association, the game-publisher-funded group in Washington that puts on E3 every year, lobbies the government for better treatment of games, and tangled with the state of California in the Supreme Court over whether video games should be treated with as much First Amendment protection as pornography. (California lost.)
What follows is his take on the year, a year he seems very proud of. It was, he writes, a "historic" 12 months.
ESA's 2011 Year in Review
Dear Friends,
The word "historic" is overused, but as we look back on 2011, it is a perfect fit for our industry's year. The U.S. Supreme Court's vigorous affirmation of our First Amendment rights, a new array of artistically astonishing games, and educators' increasing recognition of the role games play in teaching and learning made 2011 a remarkable year and set the stage for a great 2012.
I want to thank all of you for supporting our industry as we faced a momentous challenge to the constitutional rights of our industry's artists and creators before the U.S. Supreme Court. Your support helped amplify our voice, and ensured the Court heard our collective concerns about the consequences of the Schwarzenegger-Yee law at the center of the case. The Court's landmark declaration that video games enjoy the same Constitutional protections as books, movies and fine arts was exactly what we hoped to hear. The importance of this decision, both for our industry and for all who cherish free speech, cannot be overstated.
While the legal news played out in Washington, the rest of the world continued to be amazed by the increasing sophistication of the games our industry produces. As Seth Schiesel wrote in The New York Times earlier this month:
"Game makers are producing more high-quality entertainment for a broader variety of players than they ever have in the past. No other form of fun melds advanced digital technology, personal engagement and mass-market cultural relevance as felicitously as video games. That is why video games are the ascendant form of popular entertainment."
Entertainment will always be the heart of our industry, but I would also note the growing awareness that exists about the positive impact games have on improving other top priorities for the American people, including our economy, our education and healthcare systems, the workplace and the arts. Consider just a few examples from this year:
- Art: Video games gained new appreciation as works of art, as their stunning graphics and captivating soundtracks attracted the art community's attention. The Smithsonian Institution announced that it will unveil a new exhibit dedicated to showcasing the incredible artistry within games at its American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. ESA is proud to sponsor the exhibit, titled "The Art of Video Games," which opens March 16, 2012.
- The Economy: As many of you know, video game companies continue to post strong sales, with sales of game content, hardware and accessories generating $25.1 billion in revenue in 2010. Gamers' increasing interest in mobile, social and online play is a key component of this success, and we recognize The NPD Group's decision to begin reporting digital game sales on a monthly basis and the firm's new partnership with EEDAR that will help it do so. Their decision recognizes the significance of digital games to our business, and will provide a more complete picture of industry sales.
- Healthcare: Using an online game called Foldit, designed by Professor Zoran Popovic at the University of Washington, online gamers deciphered the protein that helps the HIV gene multiply. The protein stumped scientists for more than a decade, but the gamers unlocked it in just 10 days. While this is certainly a major breakthrough in the ongoing battle against AIDS, it also shows the unique power of our medium to solve incredibly difficult and complex problems.
- Education: In September, the White House launched Digital Promise, a public-private partnership aimed at incorporating technological tools, including games, into American classrooms. The program will support research and development efforts to identify effective teaching technologies, develop new approaches for rapid evaluation of new products and explore ways to expand the market for learning software.
I am proud to report that, in partnership with this initiative, ESA is once again sponsoring the National STEM Video Game Challenge in collaboration with The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, E-Line Media, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS KIDS' Ready to Learn initiative. The competition challenges students and developers to create original games that stimulate interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning.
Of course, these are just a few examples of the reach and promise of games, and we see new and inspiring instances every day. We will continue sharing these stories with you through our monthly newsletter and on our website while also exploring opportunities to provide further support and encouragement for this movement.
In 2011, our industry continued to grow, to innovate and to be a source of entertainment, inspiration and learning. We also reaffirmed our rightful legal place alongside the other art forms that entertain and enlighten our society. These developments made for an historic year.
I thank you again for your interest in and support of our industry, and wish you and your families a joyous and healthy holiday season.
Michael D. Gallagher
President and CEO
Entertainment Software Association

A Matter of Taste: Serving up Paul LiebrandtMonday, June 13th, 2011
A must see documentary for anyone who loves food and appreciates all the work and effort that goes into preparing an exceptional dish.
This is a classic story of a chef who comes to the United States in search of greatness and who pushes himself and all that works with him to be the best.
The dishes one sees at the beginning of the film are works of art of a young chef. Of course with being so young and talented one gets the sense that his food is received as being arrogant and of trying to hard. I began to think of the great artists who probably had to endure the same criticism during their time to only be truly recognized for their greatness once their time had passed on this planet.
For a bit I felt that this chef would face the same fate as he went from job to job. A fate of suffering. Years go by and I suffered as well even though this was mere minutes. Luckily through this time of suffering he continues to prepare for greatness waiting for an opportunity to appear and luckily that opportunity is embodied in Drew Nieporent of Nobu fame. A character that I only read about and saw on Anthony Bourdain's shows carrying left over Toro for his chef friends to feast on into the late New York nights. Through this film I was able to see the passion and the experience of a true restaurateur who is there not to stifle the creativity of a chef but to provide him a platform to perform and excel. By the end of the film all I can is that I am truly happy for Paul Liebrandt. It is great to see someone who has worked so hard and sacrificed so much to receive the recognition he so truly deserves.
This documentary is currently showing on HBO and can be viewed in its On Demand library.

Not the church, not the state, women must decide their fate
Pro-Choice articles
WSM abortion rights policy
There are a whole rake of questions thrown up by the issue of womens' liberation, among the mainstream press the big issue is has womens' liberation been achieved, are we in a 'post feminist world'? Beyond these basics there are other questions, why are women oppressed? What are the mechanisms that cause our oppression, what are factors that continue it, how can womens' liberation be achieved. Do all men gain from womens' oppression? Are Women liberated at the moment?

In the Bible you'll find passages like -
Exodus 37 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[a] 2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. 3 He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. 6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8 He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
And then some others like -
Genesis 46:8 These are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob. 9 The sons of Reuben: Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi. 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah,[a] Jashub[b] and Shimron. 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon and Jahleel. 15 These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[c] besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all. 16 The sons of Gad: Zephon,[d] Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli. 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah. Their sister was Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malkiel. 18 These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah —sixteen in all. 19 The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 In Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.[e] 21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard. 22 These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all. 23 The son of Dan: Hushim. 24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem. 25 These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel —seven in all.
Wait there's more -
Nehemiah 7:7 The list of the men of Israel: 8 the descendants of Parosh 2,172 9 of Shephatiah 372 10 of Arah 652 11 of Pahath-Moab (through the line of Jeshua and Joab) 2,818 12 of Elam 1,254 13 of Zattu 845 14 of Zakkai 760 15 of Binnui 648 16 of Bebai 628 17 of Azgad 2,322 18 of Adonikam 667 19 of Bigvai 2,067 20 of Adin 655 21 of Ater (through Hezekiah) 98 22 of Hashum 328 23 of Bezai 324 24 of Hariph 112 25 of Gibeon 95 26 the men of Bethlehem and Netophah 188 27 of Anathoth 128 28 of Beth Azmaveth 42 29 of Kiriath Jearim, Kephirah and Beeroth 743 30 of Ramah and Geba 621 31 of Mikmash 122 32 of Bethel and Ai 123 33 of the other Nebo 52 34 of the other Elam 1,254 35 of Harim 320 36 of Jericho 345 37 of Lod, Hadid and Ono 721 38 of Senaah 3,930
My question is why did God choose to include all this information in the Bible? How would the 760 men of Zakkai help anyone in this age or any past or future age, draw closer to God? Contrast this with how small the important narratives like the flood & Noah or the Crucifixion of Christ are.
This doesn't seem like God inspiring the Bible to communicate with men. This seems more like random writings of people about their society and culture put together in one book.
What is the reason for this?

In lieu of its annual Google Developer Conference in Mountain View, Google held a larger developer conference in San Francisco's Dwarrodelf (known by some as Moscone West convention center), dubbed "Google I/O". With about 3,000 in attendance, the conference spanned two days and had sessions covering the gamut of Google's nascent third party developer interests.
As professional conveners are all aware, Moscone West is the same dwarf fortress where Steve Jobs presents the Apple WWDC keynote. This may not be a coincidence. Google's VP's Vic Gundotra and Marissa Mayer took advantage of Apple's reality distortion equipment for their Keynotes on Wednesday and Thursday. Vic preached to a choir of web developers about Google's corporate strategy, specifically why they're fostering innovation from AJAX to Android, their federated smart-phone platform.
The presentation's slides aren't yet available, but here's a simplified version of Vic's presentation:
Google makes money off of open source technologies and the web. Making the web a bigger market means more money for Google. Google pumps money into open source technologies and the advancement of the web.
I'm a skeptic, but Google's employees appear to believe in their company's "Don't be Evil" motto and their "Separation of Church and State" policy, that dictates that development of advertising technologies and search technologies be disjoint. 3,000 developers came to find out how they can hook up to Google's virtuous cycle: the money pump.
Marissa talked about how Google uses its massive resources. For example, Google optimized its search result page length and the padding under the Google logo by finding strong correlations between these parameters and "User Happiness Metrics" and "Productivity Metrics". I felt used. The implications are both ominous and inspiring; Google has enough users to extract scientific data for user interface design.
The machine rises
The conference had sessions on OpenSocial, AJAX, AppEngine, Data API's, Mapping (now in 3d!), OpenAuth, OpenID, Android, JavaScript, and Python. To a casual observer, the breadth of the topics seems completely untargeted, but with Vic's excellent exposition of the big picture and walking from session to session, it feels like walking along axles and cables of giant machine. A new and more meaningfully connected web emerges from the carapace of the old.
Sometimes, individual presenters were blissfully unaware that presenters right next door were talking about other components of the same machine. For example, the Google Caja team has written extensive Wiki pages on JavaScript security vulnerabilities that cry out to be part of Google's Doctype Wiki. Google's Doctype is the basis of Google's Data API's. Data API's are the crux of Gadgets, and Google Caja will eventually make it possible for Gadgets to interact on the same web page without interfering or exposing personal data. OpenID, OpenAuth, and OpenSocial will connect an entire class of web pages and web applications along the sticky edges of the social web. Android brings this technology to the rest of the smart phones that matter. Google's AppEngine and Amazon's seminal EC3 and S3 cloud computing services eventually power a host of these strongly connected web services written by an entire market of developers, magnifying Google's developer energy manifold.
Then the network machine wakes up.
In a completely unrelated story, my roommate's second Roomba wakes up every morning, cleans a strip of carpet, pushes a door closed behind it, and gracefully dies in a random location. On the way out to the office, we search for the Roomba's final resting place. Last time it found the other Roomba under his bed.
Coincidence? Probably not.
No one noticed the plot. For the after-party, Google teleported every stick of Ikea furniture from the Googleplex into the main hall then littered the assemblage with Rubix cubes, legos, beanbag chairs, beer, wine, food, arcade machines, projection screens with Wii bowling, foosball, air hockey, and loud music. Then the Kiwi musical comedy duo, Flight of the Conchords, opened their concert with "The Humans are Dead", a song from the distant future, the year 2000, wherein the humans have been exterminated by the machines. They closed with an encore of their perennial favorite, "Bowie's in Space".
And it wouldn't be Google if there weren't brain-teasers hidden in plain sight. The Google I/O logo and the schwag had a certain pattern that, to some, was a bit puzzling. Extra points to the FIRST POST that interpolates the Hamming correction bits that would make this silk-screen correct.
This particular developer conference was a whole barrel of monkeys. I highly recommend attending a Google developer conference if you're interested in any of their technologies. I got to see or meet many of the prominent people in the web development field, including Doug Crockford, Guido van Rossum, and Steve Yegge.
I learned a whole bunch and gained a lot of insights about how Google services work. While no presenter at the conference was aware of when exactly videos from the conference would be available, people seemed to think that they would be available within a couple weeks. I'll be keeping the Google I/O website open and freshly reloaded every morning until then. I recommend, in particular, Steve Yegge's presentation on JavaScript in Java.


text: Weight Training Improves Walking and Quality of Life in a Small Study of Women with MS: Unique Society-supported study design features in-depth interviews with participants October 22, 2012 Women participating in a small study of progressive resistance (weight) training improved significantly in walking, and reported improvements in quality of life as well. The study, funded by the National MS Society, used standard measures to evaluate the effects of the program, along with in-depth interviews of the participants to determine the full effects on quality of life. Peter R. Giacobbi, Jr., PhD (University of Arizona, Tucson), Lesley J. White, PhD (University of Georgia, Athens) and colleagues report their findings in Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly (2012;29:224). Background: In addition to being essential to general health and well-being, exercise is helpful in managing many MS symptoms. Research also is increasing indicating that exercise can benefit the quality of life of people with MS. Standard measures used to determine the effectiveness of exercise interventions may be geared to specific symptoms, and may not capture the full effects on quality of life. In this study, the researchers focused, in particular, on patient-reported outcomes and on factors that facilitated or were barriers to participation in exercise programs over time. The Study: Eight women between the ages of 40 to 63 years participated in the study, and they had been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS 2 to 16 years before enrolling in the study. Assessments of walking (mobility, leg function, and exercise tolerance) and interviews were conducted before the study, after a four-month progressive resistance training program, and approximately 8 months later. During the training period, participants performed three supervised exercise sessions per week in a university-based fitness center using conventional weight-lifting machines. Trainers had previous experience working with people with MS. Training protocols were individualized to accommodate individuals' differences in fitness and to accommodate day-to-day variability in fatigue. The interview questions focused on the participants' physical activity, sport, and exercise program experiences; the impact of MS on daily life and on participating in physical activity; and attitudes about the resistance training intervention and factors that impeded or enhanced participation. The last interview focused on the degree to which physical activity behavior was maintained 8 months after the intervention and factors that facilitated or impeded continued involvement. Interviews lasted 20 to 60 minutes and were recorded. Results: Walking performance improved by more than 13%. Interviews indicated that all participants reported enhanced muscle endurance or delayed muscle fatigue, as well as strength. These experiences impacted performance of a variety of daily life tasks. "I have not used any of those electrical carts in any of the big stores in a long time now," commented one participant, while another noted, "Since I've been doing this I've been having stuff [to do] every single day of the week. In the past I would do something one day and then rest the next day." Six participants reported improved physical capabilities that impacted daily tasks such as yard work, shopping, and chores around the house. Seven perceived a social impact, including making new friends, camaraderie with the other participants and research staff, being less of a burden on caregivers, and the development of a support network. Six claimed they had positive emotional responses due to the exercise program that included pride of accomplishment and a better mood. "I smile a lot more and that's good," noted one woman. At the 8-month follow-up interviews, participants reported that they did not maintain as intensive of a physical activity routine, suggesting the importance of the social support and benefits within and outside the exercise facility. Conclusions: This small study suggests that supervised resistance training may promote improvements in quality of life for women with relapsing remitting MS. It also suggests that providing supportive structures and relationships facilitates engagement in physical exercise. Read more about rehabilitation research and also about how you can develop an exercise program to fit your life with MS.

Cat Backpacks: The New Trend in Feline Transportation
Wearing your cat is all the rage these days. Find out why more cat lovers are making the switch to cat backpacks.View Article

A summer haircut may help you feel more comfortable during hot, humid summer weather, but it won't have the same effect on your pet. In fact, cutting or shaving your pet's fur can actually compromise your furry friend's ability to remain cool.
Your Pet's Coat Provides Built-In Climate Control
Although wearing a fur coat in the summer might increase your risk of heat stroke, the same isn't true for your pets. Their coats actually provide a built-in heating and cooling system. During the winter, your dog or cat's fur offers warmth when it lays flat against the body. When temperatures soar, the individual hairs in your pet's coat stand upright, maximizing air flow.
Some breeds, such as Chow Chows, Alaskan Huskies, Sheepdogs, Golden and Labrador Retrievers, Scottish Terriers and Shih Tzus, have double coats that keep them comfortable whether it's warm or sunny or snowing and frigid outdoors. The undercoat, the layer of hair closest to the body, insulates your dog's body during the winter. During the summer, the undercoat prevents your pet from becoming too hot by keeping cooler air next to the skin.
Cutting Your Pet's Hair Isn't the Best Choice
Cutting or shaving your pet's hair interferes with your dog or cat's ability to stay cool. Although you may have the best intentions when you turn on the clippers, your pet may have more trouble regulating heat after a shave or haircut. Shaving can even affect your pet for years to come if hair doesn't grow back again after a shave or grows in an abnormal pattern. The problem is particularly harmful if your dogs' undercoat doesn't grow back completely. Without that protective layer of hair, your dog will have trouble handling both hot and cold temperatures.
Sunburn isn't normally a concern when you have a furry pet - unless you shave or cut their hair. Hair protects their sensitive skin from the rays of the sun, preventing burns and reducing the skin cancer risk. Applying sunscreen before trips outdoors is a must if your dog has thin or shaved hair.
Fur also keeps all sorts of unpleasant things from coming in contact with your pet's skin, such as allergens, insects and lawn care products. Without the protection that hair provides, your pet may be more likely to develop painful rashes or bites after spending a little time in the yard.
Better Ways to Keep Your Dog or Cat Cool
The tips can help your pet stay cool during the dog (and cat) days of summer:
Allowing your pet's natural cooling system to do its job is the best way to keep your furry friend cool this summer. If you have a question about your pet's health or need to schedule an appointment, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

I'd also say that both the Arduino team and the mpide folks need to start workingon better separating the IDE from the toolsets and cores.
Just one question, did you find a way to do a verbose build with mpide, so you could watch the downlond in progress?
Again, thanks for your reply. I have a rather large program for my robot on the Duemilanove where I ran out of program/RAM space that I want to transfer to a larger cpu.
Have you seen the new pic32 parts in 28 pin dips?
Isn't there some kind of 16 bit mode (MIPS16e) in the pic32?
• MIPS16e® code compression- 16-bit encoding of 32-bit instructions to improve code density- Special PC-relative instructions for efficient loading of addresses and constants- SAVE and RESTORE macro instructions for setting up and tearing down stack frames within subroutines- Improved support for handling 8 and 16-bit data types
Hi Chris, Bill (westfw) just gave a link to your page on the other current Uno32thread. Your blog pages look good, l was just reading through them lastnight. I think you may have Dat and Clk swapped on the ICSP header.

A USB printer does not print properly or print jobs are incomplete when used as a network printer
A USB printer connected to the FRITZ!Box does not execute print jobs correctly. It prints individual pages, images or pictures incorrectly, or they are incomplete.
1 The FRITZ!Box does not support the printer
In order to use a printer as a network printer, it must be able to receive data in RAW format (unidirectional RAW over TCP). USB printers that require encapsulated or bidirectional data transmission cannot be used as network printers. This is the case with some GDI printers ("Windows printers"), LIDIL printers ("Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language") as well as DOT4 printers (IEEE 1284 standard).
The FRITZ!Box USB remote connection software enables you to use USB printers with the FRITZ!Box, even if they cannot be used as network printers with the FRITZ!Box:
- Use the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection to connect your printer to your computer.

Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
Fancy tamagoyaki bento
Oh my, this one is both a looker and tastes amazingly! :-) This bento idea is based on the basic tamagoyaki recipe, so feel free to use your favorite ingredients: champignons or chanterelle mushroom, herbs, different kinds of onion, bacon bits, ham shavings etc. Go crazy! :-) It's also a very good side dish!
Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Teriyaki pork strips with shallots bento
This simple recipe requires only 3 ingredients: sliced pork loin (already mentioned minute steaks or easy steaks), shallots and teriyaki sauce. It's also one of the lazy recipes — part of it you can prepare evening before, and finish it quickly before serving or packing your bento box. Plus, marinating for a long time allows increased flavors to transfer easily across the meat!
Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!

Zaroon! Zaroon! Zaroon! Let me count the ways I detest thee! As a thinking being, I gnash my teeth every time this man opens his mouth … nothing he says or does makes any sense to me. On the other hand, as a non-thinking being I am totally enjoying watching Fawad Khan displaying his acting chops and bringing the problematic Mr. Zaroon to life. I hate Zaroon Junaid, but love Fawad Khan here. Not to be left behind, Sanam matches Fawad every step of the way. They are fabulous together – both feeding off of each other's energy to make an otherwise problem-ridden episode sparkle.
Yes, these were the moments we had been waiting for ever since the news about Zindagi Gulzar Hai's adaptation for TV first hit the social media. These were the kinds of chemical explosions we had been expecting since the first few episodes. That these did not happen in the university days, and we were made to wait for fourteen weeks for the sparks to really start flying has been the subject of many a debate. In any case, now that we had the much awaited Zaroon-Kashaf scenes, was it worth all the wait?
For me, execution-wise, the Zaroon-Kashaf confrontations were superbly done by the director and her actors. Narrative-wise, these confrontations should have happened much earlier, when they were university students. Coming as they do now, with Zaroon and Kashaf both having entered the professional phase of their life, these confrontations lost much of their steam and ended up looking like silly spats between high school kids – he the overconfident jock and she the straight-laced nerdy student.
Like its predecessors, this episode too was riddled with continuity and editing errors. It was funny to see Zaroon, Kashaf, her boss and the two gora guests wearing the same clothes in the office meeting post their site visit, as they were wearing when Zaroon was re-introduced to Kashaf at the end of the last episode. Moreover, Badin has never been as close to Karachi as it seemed today. Was it that Kashaf had come to Karachi for a special meeting and then dropped in to see Sir Ibrar? Most importantly, when did Osama and Kashaf ever become buddies? Considering how anti-elite Kashaf had been during her university days, it was a little disconcerting to see her now on buddy buddy terms with Osama, so much so that he has now proposed to her? It was not just me, even Osama's best buddy Zaroon seemed shocked! Also, when did Kashaf get over her issues with the spoilt, over-indulged children of the upper class. Finally, first Zaroon, now Osama… what's up with Kashaf addressing these guys as tum?
Apart from giving more screen time to the lead pair, we also saw a quick glimpse of Sidra. Mansha Pasha glowed as the obviously happily married Sidra. I loved the sweet moment between the sisters, and its heartening to see the bond between sisters surviving post-marriage. Shehnila too put in a guest appearance. I enjoyed how Shehnila sided with Kashaf on her stance on marriage. I wonder why Rafia is surprised to hear Kashaf refusing to get married. With a role-model like the loser Murtaza in front of her, it is probably very hard for Kashaf, who probably has seen and remembers a lot more than her other two younger sisters, to happily jump in to a marital relationship.
While it was great to see Kashaf's side of the family, even Nigar got screen time while Hammad was mentioned in abstentia, once again Zaroon's side of the family got the short shrift. Considering the amount of time devoted to Sara-Farhan's divorce issue, and Zaroon-Asmara's incompatibility problems last week, why did they not rate even a passing mention? Is Zaroon so enamored by Kashaf that he's forgotten all about his personal unresolved issues? From the glimpse of a much happier looking Sara in the precap, are we to assume that her divorce is old news and Asmara is no longer a part of Zaroons life? I hope we get some answers next week. Looking forward to seeing how Kashaf responds to Osama's proposal and what advice Sir Ibrar has to offer to Zaroon…
Finally, once again, a humble request to the techies in charge of the background music – could you guys please find some appropriate music to go with the onscreen narrative? Thori awaaz bhi kam kar dain please, its really hard to hear over the very loud music – thanks!
What did you all think? Was this episode gulzar for you? Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

Mono County District 2 is very diverse. It contains bedroom communities, agricultural areas and Tribal Lands all located in the southern part of the County. It is serviced by four School Districts, five Fire Districts, and a variety of Water, Sewer, Community Service, and Hospital Districts. These linkages allow some of its communities to feel more closely tied to the Bishop area of Inyo County while others are linked to the Mammoth Lakes area in Mono. There is even a portion of District 2 that, due to its geographic isolation from the rest of Mono County, receives its fire, ambulance, law enforcement and School services from Esmeralda County Nevada. The high percentage of land ownership in District 2 by the Federal Government or the City of Los Angeles creates separation between many of the District's Communities and imposes development limitations within the District. Needless to say, one size does not fit all in District 2 and nor should it. Each Community has its own unique character. Limited County resources make providing equitable services to all areas of District 2 difficult and are a frequent source of comment from District residents. There are no easy answers to these discrepancies and I admire the spirit of self sufficiency, usually done by volunteers, in each of the District's communities that help bridge the service provision gap.
Mono County District 2 is the only Mono County District to be traversed by two main highways, Highway 6 and Highway 395. These routes support transit traffic that is not only essential to the tourist portion of the Mono County economy but the broader economic activity of the movement of goods between Southern California and points north to the western United States east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The District also contains geothermal power production facilities, power transmission infrastructure, the headwaters reservoir for the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and agricultural product production in one of the most pollution free areas of California. These assets and more support an entire region of the United States. Mono County, District 2 included, is visited by many seeking a variety of quality seasonal outdoor recreational activities. Not only is this a major contributor to the Mono County economy, but provides those visiting the stress relief benefits of "getting away from it all". These things being said, one of the greatest challenges facing District 2 is sustainable and maintainable 21st century economic development that fits within governmental agency land ownership development restrictions, State and Federal agency restrictions, and the need to maintain the environmental quality which Mono County is known for.
About me:
- I was born in 1949
- I have a Bachelors Degree from the University of California - Davis and a Masters Degree from California State University – Sacramento
- I moved to Mono County in January of 1976 living in June Lake, Lee Vining, and Crowley Lake
- I am married and have two adult children
- I worked as a career Firefighter until I retired in 2006
- I served as Chief of the Long Valley Volunteer Fire Department from 2000 to December 2012, part of this time was in addition to my career Firefighter occupation
- I was a member of the Long Valley Regional Planning Advisory Committee
I look forward to working with residents and stakeholders on Mono County and District 2 issues.

It was Piper's birthday on the 18. On her actual birthday, just our little family went to The Garden Restaurant. She had rehearsal that night.
I'm so proud that she loves fried pickles as much as I do.
For her friend party, she just wanted to invite her two best friends for a sleepover and a night spent at Claires.
Teague had to cut off his beautiful long locks (this was major drama).
sorry, no pictures.
And of course, it was the long awaited performances for The Boxcar Children.
This is a picture of Piper in the dressing room that I just love!

Edward Furlong gets six-month jail sentence
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Court records show a judge has sentenced Edward Furlong to six months in jail for violating his probation in a 2010 case.
The Terminator 2 star was accused of disobeying the terms of his sentence in a domestic violence case in which he was convicted of violating a restraining order.
The 35-year-old actor has been the subject of restraining orders filed by both his ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend. Furlong was charged in January with battery on his ex-girlfriend in a case that remains pending.
Furlong's attorney Brian Michaels did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Superior Court Judge Dennis Mulcahy directed officials not to release the actor early or give him credit for time served, but jail records showed Tuesday that he may be released in late May.

Champagne Ivan Nova In The Sky – and other lessons from Tampa
Still not sold on the Yankees' rotation and the question marks still begin at the #2 slot, but the work of first Ivan Nova and then Phil Hughes on consecutive nights in Tampa was unavoidably impressive. A year ago Nova proved himself a gutsy pitcher (he happily plunked Jose Bautista and then asked him in Spanish "what are you going to do about it?") but one who started to have trouble when he'd come out for the fifth inning. Wednesday he again opened with an HBP then retired all the other Orioles he faced, including six of their regulars, and most importantly expended only 59 pitches over six innings. If he could repeat that kind of economy they would have to inducted him into Cooperstown this July, so anything remotely close makes him a legitimate big league starter (BTW note to NYC radio/tv: he's "Eevan" – the man is not a Russian wrestler with a cutesy name). Hughes was not quite so dominant last night versus Tampa (facing at least eight regulars) but he looked much more like the Cy Young candidate of last year's first half than the almost .500, almost 5.00 guy of the second half. The other headline out of the Yankee camp is Alex Rodriguez. Whatever the origin of his hip problems, for the first time in two years he looked like he could pivot with them fully, launching titanic homers on both nights, one that disappeared into the night in deep left, the other that towered out more towards center. Rodriguez also looks more agile defensively, and ranged neatly to his left last night to grab a sharply hit ball, planted confidently, and got off one of his old-fashioned rocket throws to beat the runner at the bag. Since if they hope to compete with the Red Sox and Rays, the Yankees have no margin for error, a vintage year from Rodriguez is essential, and the pitching tumblers like Hughes, Nova, A.J. Burnett, and Bartolo Colon all have to twirl perfectly or the post-season is an impossibility.

You have really got me interested in baseball! I wish my dad was alive to see this! I sent you a PICTURE of your old Yankee PITCHER, Ron Guidry, who is back with us in Cajun Land now! Also, on LPB's baseball special the other night, they told of outfielder Andy Strong, who was struck dead by lightning right here at our local ballpark in fifty-one. I was noticing your concern about the safety of the dugout, and was glad to research and find out that the metal button on the top of the baseball cap had been retired! This is a whole new world for me. I like it. Thanks!
P.S. There is always so much sky writing in the sunset pics you send. Nice to see you doing a bit of it yourself! I commend you for being able to handle the keyboard with style all the time! Cheerio…if you know what I mean! ;o)
Your hyperbolic negativity can only inspire Yankees nation, Mr. Olbermann. Not that they really need inspiration, since they're professionals first & foremost, and they'll find plenty of inspiration when Felix Hernandez dons the pinstripes in a couple months.
By World Series time this year, I'm not sure who will have more food on his face — you for embarrassing yourself in these early predictions or Nick Swisher after his teammates assail him with a post-championship gamewinner cream pie!
I don't think Nova actually plunked Bautista. In fact, the pitch was just a little high and inside. Bautista's reaction fed speculation of roid rage.
Just to pick a nit, the correct RUSSIAN pronunciation of the name Ivan is Ee-VAHN. It is pronounced EYE-vin only in the Americas.
Ez tényleg egy jó és hasznos információként. Elégedett vagyok, hogy megosztott a hasznos információkat velünk. Kérem, maradjon velünk tájékozott, mint ez. Köszönöm megosztására.

Millions of people are celebrating the Lunar New Year, also know as Chinese New Year, the most important annual holiday in Asia. 2013 heralds the arrival of the year of the snake, taking over from the dragon. The snake has a mixed reputation in China. It is associated with wisdom, beauty and intelligence but also with pride and anger. All across China, fireworks were let off in the belief that evil spirits will be banished to the past, setting up a clean canvas for the year ahead.
Why not try this easy beef stir fry dish and help celebrate Chinese New Year?
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 250g sirloin steak, sliced into thin ribbons
- 1 garlic clove, chopped finely
- 1" fresh ginger, sliced into thin sticks
- 1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1/2 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 50ml water
- 1/2 red chilli, chopped finely
- 100g broccoli florets, preferably small bite size chunks
- 25g unsalted cashews, chopped
- Heat some groundnut oil in a wok until it starts to smoke. Add the beef to the wok and stir fry until cooked through. Once the meat is cooked through, remove from the wok and set aside.
- Keep the heat in the wok and add the garlic, chilli and ginger. Stir fry for a minute taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and ketchup to the wok before adding the chopped cashews and the water. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the broccoli and continue to cook for a further couple of minutes.
- Finally, put the beef back into the wok, stirring through the sauce until the meat is heated through.
|Sticky Chilli Beef
To serve, divide the contents of the wok between two bowls and serve with soft egg noodles or fried rice before scattering a few slices of red chilli over the top.
Your rice or noodles will cook in the time it takes to prepare the rest of the dish, so with a little preparation this dish can be ready in under twenty minutes.
A truly delicious way to ring in the new year. Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Here on the eve of the Final Four, we take a quick moment to celebrate college basketball.
Here are a few observations.
- The gap between the haves (Kentucky, Connecticut) and the have nots (Butler, VCU) is obviously closing. Parody is moving into college basketball as kids get bigger, faster and more athletic. Gone are the days when Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina and Kansas (or similar stalwart programs) dominate the Final Four year after year.
- In the Final Four, the city of Richmond (VCU) STILL has as many teams as the Big (L)East (UConn).
- It will be hard to argue with the Suits In Indianapolis about the expanded tournament or the selection process now that First Four VCU has played their way into the Final Four.
- If Kentucky figures out a way to win it all, Brandon Knight will most likely be the MVP. He has been so far and the freshman's numbers are very impressive. He plays the most minutes (35.8 ppg) and scores the most points (17.3 ppg) for the Wildcats. He shots 43% from the field, 38% from behind the arc and 79% from the charity stripe. He has 154 assists, averaging 4.2 per game. He also snags 3.9 rebounds per game.
Nice, Brandon, NICE!
Saturday, April 2:
(8) Butler vs. (11) VCU – 6:09 pm tip
(4) Kentucky vs. (3) Connecticut – 8:49 pm tip

As expected, light heavyweights Alexander Gustafsson (11-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Vladimir Matyushenko (25-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will meet at UFC 133.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the fight this past weekend, and UFC officials since have confirmed the booking.
UFC 133, which also features Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis (and possibly featherweight champ Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes), takes place
Aug. 6 in Philadelphia. The city's Wells Fargo Center plays host to the
UFC 133's main card airs live on pay-per-view, though it's not clear if Gustafsson vs. Matyushenko will be part of the broadcast.
While seven of Gustafsson's first nine career victories came via
knockout, the 24-year-old Swedish prospect recently has posted back-to-back submission victories. His lone career loss came to
unbeaten contender Phil Davis at UFC 112, which followed a KO win over Jared Hamann in his late-2009 octagon debut. The UFC 133 fight marks Gustafsson's first-ever bout in the U.S.
Matyushenko returns to the cage after a quick victory. "The Janitor" needed just 20 seconds to drop Jason
Brilz at April's UFC 129 event, a result that lasted just four seconds
more than a 1998 win over the infamous Anthony Macias. With a 4-1 in mark in his current UFC stint, Matyushenko has won five of his past six overall outings.
The latest UFC 133 card now includes:
- Champ Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes (for featherweight title)*
- Phil Davis vs. Rashad Evans
- Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort
- Rich Franklin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
- Johny Hendricks vs. Mike Pierce
- Alexander Gustafsson vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
- Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara
- Mike Brown vs. Nam Phan
- Michael McDonald vs. Nick Pace
- Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman
- Riki Fukuda vs. Rafael "Sapo" Natal*
* – Not officially announced

What is White Peony Tea?
White Peony is grown primarily in the Fujian Province of China . White Peony, incorporates one bud and two tiny leaves. plucked in early spring, covered with tiny silver/white fuzz on one side and touting a deep sage green color on the other side. In rare cases, the leaves may be mixed with the Shui Xian tea tree.
The processing rules require this tea only be picked between March 15 and April 10. It is not picked on days that may be raining or if the dew has not dried or if there is frost on the ground. No purple buds are allowed and the stems must not be too long or too short. Leaves damaged by wind, handling, insects or partially open are rejected and put into a lower grade. The best Bai Mu Dan is produced using the two leaves and a bud proportion and is naturally or mechanically withered to produce leaves that are not black or red but green in color.
White Peony has a bold taste with hints of oak, nut and vanilla with an apricot color brew. A delicate lingering fragrance and a fresh mellow sweet taste devoid of astringency or grassy flavor with a shimmering clear infusion. You will notice a very mild peony aroma when brewing the tea . The tea is best brewed with good mineral water and at 85°c (185°F) to 90°c (194°F). It is best to brew it Gongfu style, using more tea with a shorter steep time. The brew is a very pale green or golden color. Fruity and darker then Silver Needle, yet not as strong as Shou Mei. This delicate, light white tea has a very clean, fresh taste with delicate floral notes. The finest quality should have a shimmering clear infusion with a delicate lingering fragrance and a fresh, mellow, sweet taste devoid of astringency and grassy flavors.
Speciality for white tea: One year was tea, Three years was medicine, Seven years was treasure. White tea has the longer storage time, the higher its medicinal value, therefore it extremely has collection value. This view has been widely accepted by the industry .
White tea has the most subtle flavor of all the teas, it is milder, contains less caffeine and thought to have the most antioxidant out of all the teas. Its refreshing and does not have an overwhelming tastes or scent compared to other teas. Only the youngest buds are selected for production of white tea, giving the tea the white-silvery hair on its buds.

By Bertrand Lavédrine
with Jean-Paul Gandolfo, John McElhone, and Sibylle Monod
Translated by John McElhone
In recent years, interest in old photographs has grown significantly among a broad public, from collectors, conservators, and archivists to amateurs seeking to preserve precious family albums. Although the medium of photography is barely one hundred and fifty years old, its relatively brief history has witnessed the birth of a wide range of photographic processes, each of which poses unique conservation challenges.
This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the practice of photograph preservation, bringing together more information on photographic processes than any other single source. Introductory chapters cover issues of terminology; the rest of the book is divided into three parts: positives, negatives, and conservation. Each chapter focuses on a single process—daguerreotypes, albumen negatives, black-and-white prints, and so on—providing an overview of its history and materials and tracing the evolution of its technology. This book will serve as an irreplaceable reference work for conservators, curators, collectors, dealers, conservation students, and photographers, as well as those in the general public seeking information on preserving this ubiquitous form of cultural heritage.
Bertrand Lavédrine is director of the Centre de recherche sur la conservation des collections (CRCC), Paris. Jean-Paul Gandolfo teaches at the École nationale supérieure Louis Lumière, Paris. Sibylle Monod oversees research publications at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Paris. John P. McElhone is photograph conservator at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.

I did the get hitch from Bill. I guess the safety chain loops was not an option two years ago. Great thank you.

When New Zealander Daniel Gray and his girlfriend Kathleen Starrie decided to visit her family in Edmonton, Canada, for five weeks, Starrie's mother Brigid Burton thought it best to come up with a hefty project to keep Gray occupied (and test his resolve): she tasked him with making a rainbow igloo in the backyard. Burton had collected a slew of milk cartons and used them, water, and food coloring to make colored ice blocks. Gray put his engineering prowess to work, drew up some plans, and started building, using "snowcrete" (snow mixed with water) to bind the bricks. Five weeks, 500 ice blocks, and about 150 hours of work later, the rainbow igloo was complete. For more, watch the story video and check out their full image set.

I spent a lot of time recently catching up on NewsGator. If you're interested in the RSS world and what's going on you should check out these two videos. In them they explain how Newsgator is making moves into the Enterprise. You can see how the approach here differs from Bloglines, who was on my show yesterday.
There are two videos.
1. A demo of the new Enterprise-focused synchronization system. Five minutes.
2. A discussion of NewsGator's moves into the Enterprise. 21 minutes.
I included the demo on this post here, but in the interview you'll hear RSS reading trends inside corporations. NewsGator's stance here is unique and hearing from them about how companies are using RSS is interesting. Jeremiah Owyang, social media analyst at Forrester should check this out. We talk at length about what NewsGator's new integration with Microsoft's Sharepoint means and how it can be used.
NewsGator includes a variety of feed readers including FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, and the various NewsGator clients. They've really built a system that goes way beyond what any other feed reading system does.

Dodgers activate Greinke, place Beckett on DL
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers activated Zack Greinke from the disabled list on Wednesday to start against the Nationals and placed right-hander Josh Beckett on the 15-day disabled list due to a left groin strain.
Beckett said he tweaked his groin covering first base in the third inning of his start Monday against the Nationals. The veteran was removed from the game after allowing four runs in three innings.
"It didn't get enough better," manager Don Mattingly said. "Plus he's had other little issues that hopefully we get a chance to get on top of, too."
Mattingly alluded to those other health issues after Beckett's start on Monday, but neither the manager nor the pitcher would elaborate. Beckett said he was healthy enough to pitch and did not use the injuries as an excuse for his 0-5 record and 5.19 ERA in eight starts.
"He's missing by two inches when he's trying to hit a corner," Mattingly said. "He's just barely missing. I know Josh thinks right now he has to hit every corner and can't leave anything over the plate. Josh is a control guy. If he's missing, there's something going on."
Beckett is the eighth pitcher to spend time on the disabled list this year for the Dodgers, joining Greinke, Chad Billingsley, Chris Capuano, Scott Elbert, Ted Lilly, Stephen Fife and Shawn Tolleson.
A month removed from surgery on a broken left collarbone, Greinke made his third start of the season Wednesday night. The right-hander hadn't pitched for the Dodgers since April 11, when Carlos Quentin charged the mound during a benches-clearing melee in San Diego and slammed into Greinke.
The Dodgers went 10-19 following Greinke's injury.
"We haven't played very well since that, honestly," Mattingly said.
Rookie Matt Magill will start Sunday against the Braves in place of Beckett. The right-hander has a 6.92 ERA in three starts since making his Major League debut April 27.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's labor unions are criticizing legislation that would give public employers more control in the collective bargaining process as a power grab.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's labor unions are criticizing legislation that would give public employers more control in the collective bargaining process as a power grab.
Senate President Peter Bragdon, a Milford Republican, told the Senate Executive Departments and Administration Committee on Wednesday that his bill was not intended to do the dire things the unions fear. He proposes giving public employers the right to determine standards for evaluation, selection, layoff and retention, discipline, assignment and transfer.
"The actual process of all these things is still subject to negotiations," Bragdon said.
Bragdon said he filed the bill over a concern that local school boards would lose control of the teacher evaluation process under a proposed change in the state's administration of federal law. Dean Michener of the New Hampshire School Boards Association said the state has since backed away from requiring local communities from adopting a model evaluation process.
Union representatives said the issues outlined in Bragdon's bill have been subject to negotiations for 40 years.
Glenn Milner, attorney for the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire, said unions have negotiated standards in contracts, not just processes. For example, a disciplinary standard could be whether an employee's termination requires the employer to show just cause, he said.
"It is a radical piece of legislation that upsets the apple cart and takes the state back 40 years," he said.
Betsy Miller, executive director of the New Hampshire Association of Counties, said her group supports anything that increases managerial prerogative. The changes — if adopted — would give more authority to managers, she said.
"It guts much of collective bargaining and much of the collective bargaining agreements in existence," said James Allmenginger, attorney for NEA New Hampshire.
He said it would end bargaining on the subject areas outlined in the bill.
Harriet Spencer, New Hampshire coordinator for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said agreements will be difficult to negotiate if management can dictate the standards without any give-and-take with unions.
