Loc: Rio Grande, Cape May County, N... I had an Email provider shut down on me without notice
Scary info, Sparteye!
On Monday VerizonMail suddenly disappeared without warning with all my mail files. At first they responded by saying that they were upgrading the service. Now they've posted a 'techincal difficulties" message. They E-mailed me on an alternate site box that my files have not been lost and were sure to return...eventually. And if they didn't reappear with the service in a 'few days' to contact them again. The phone-tech now has a recorded message referring to the problem, of course! Grrrrrr! Well, at least I wasn't trying to operate a business through this mailbox (though, I'm sure many people were!). Wonderful, wonderful! I, of course, being a new cyber-junkie, had absolutely NO idea this could even happen!

Library's One Big Summer Night Sizzles with Surprises, Special Guests and
New Spaces
Gala Fundraiser Features Author, Former Gourmet Magazine Editor Ruth Reichl
HARTFORD, Connecticut (November 20, 2013) – Hartford Public Library's highly-anticipated One Big Sizzling Summer Night event will not look like your traditional gala this year, as the major fundraiser returns to the Library's bright, modern Downtown building on June 12, 2014 with three floors of delicious cuisine and entertainment. Adding even more sizzle to the night, the well-known author Ruth Reichl, former New York Times food critic and editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine, will be the evening's featured speaker.
"This year's event will be unlike any you've seen," said Matt Poland, CEO of Hartford Public Library. "We're thrilled to welcome the incomparable Ruth Reichl to Hartford, showcase our state-of-the-art facility, and enjoy a night of food, fun, and celebration. One Big Summer Night directly supports the many valuable resources and opportunities the Library provides, and this year will surely be our most successful yet!"
Each year, One Big Summer Night brings a celebrated author to Hartford to delight and entertain guests. This year's gala will be held in the beautiful glass-front library overlooking Main Street - cocktails and chef stations throughout will feature locally produced cuisine from some of the city's top restaurants, and exciting exhibits will highlight every nook and cranny of the facility and the many services the Library provides. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on enticing auction items and engage with Ms. Reichl, who will speak to all things writing and food.
A six-time James Beard Award-Winner, Ms. Reichl served as editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine for ten years, has authored five critically-acclaimed, best-selling memoirs on the topics of food and family, and served as editor of countless collections of cuisine-inspired publications. Ms. Reichl is the host and executive producer of "Gourmet's Adventures with Ruth" and "Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie" on public television, and the recipient of numerous awards for excellence in food journalism. The New York Times has said: "While all good food writers are humorous . . . few are so riotously, effortlessly entertaining as Ruth Reichl. . . . [She] is also witty, fair-minded, brave, and a wonderful writer."
Ticket availability and additional event details will be available soon. For sponsorship and other opportunities, please contact Jane Penfield at (860) 695-6342 or email@example.com.

Perkins, Tony
The latest news on Perkins, Tony
Perkins says the Nevada senator's affair explains "why the Republicans are having trouble."
It's a slippery slope, and besides, existing alternatives can supply greater scientific gains.
Critics of the Christian right say the Family Research Council president's threats ring hollow.
Family Research Council's Tony Perkins has some tough words for Republicans, compliments for Obama.
The Christian right is still buzzing positively about Bristol Palin's pregnancy.
Reports of the death of the religious right and its political influence are greatly exaggerated, according to a new book by Tony Perkins, head of the conservative Family Research Council, and Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in suburban Washington and chair of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, a largely African-American group that promotes conservative social causes.
The newspaper conservatives love to hate could become the new story if McCain aides have their way.

(ARA) – Run a marathon. Visit the rainforest. Backpack through Europe. You might have a to-do list for chores around the house, work tasks or errands, and while those are all intended to keep you on track for the more mundane, but necessary, tasks in life, have you thought about compiling a more exciting kind of to-do list – filled with the places you want to see and things you want to do before you die?
While you've trained yourself well in accomplishing the day-to-day tasks that keep your life moving, you can use that same mindset to accomplish your life goals when it comes to travel and adventure. Compiling a to-do list and then formulating a plan for crossing the top items off is one of the best ways to ensure that you'll get to live your dreams.
If you're dreaming of that big adventure, but haven't quite made it a reality, here are a few tips for making that dream come true:
* Start by compiling and prioritizing your to-do list. Your adventures could range from running a marathon in a city you've always wanted to visit to zip-lining through a tropical rainforest. If you're in need of inspiration, visit Hilton Garden Inn's Facebook page and check out or contribute to Life's Ultimate To-Do List. This interactive contest asks participants about their ultimate adventures in an attempt to inspire each other to cross items off their lists. At the end of the contest, 10 winners will be chosen to receive a vacation package centered around completing the number one item on their to-do list.
* Set up a savings fund for your adventure. This can be a long-term venture, but set an automated withdrawal your paycheck each month into a special account, or develop a similar plan to build your savings. Find easy ways to save, such as cutting out your morning latte a couple days a week.
* Research your destination to keep you thinking about your trip and to make sure you get everything out of it when you go. Look through issues of National Geographic Traveler and travel books to learn more about your destination.
* Sign up for deal alerts for your dream location on travel websites. If you find the right deal, you might be able to afford your trip sooner than you had thought. It also pays to follow hotel chains with locations in many destinations, such as the Hilton Garden Inn, on Facebook and Twitter, as you never know when a promotion might pop up that can help you save even more. If you have an activity planned, be on the lookout for deals in the months leading up to your trip.
* Find unique ways to make your vacation happen. Traveling as part of a volunteer group is also a great way to see the world and do some good at the same time. If you simply love to travel and enjoy helping others, do some research in your community to see if there's an upcoming trip you might want to join, or research volunteer tourism organizations on the Web.
When it finally comes time to cross that item of your life's to-do list, you'll be filled with excitement you could never receive by finding everything on your grocery list or completing the last chore on your honey-do list. For more ideas for filling out your list, visit www.facebook.com/HiltonGardenInn.

CHARLOTTE -- Fresh off their primary victories, Walter Dalton and Pat McCrory set their sights on each other as the battle for governor is officially underway. While McCrory was in Greensboro talking jobs and his plan to reform the state's tax code, Dalton kicked off his general election campaign with a stop in Charlotte. "As we turn the corner on this national recession, we need to refocus our efforts on 21st century jobs," said Dalton.
Speaking at Central Piedmont Community College, Dalton called for a series of eight debates over the next four months focused on education and jobs. "It's an opportunity to discuss the issues, discuss our future and whether cutting education and limiting the scope of community college makes sense," said Dalton.
McCrory said he'll debate, but didn't agree on number, date or time of debates.
"We welcome a series of debates which is a departure from the Perdue-Dalton philosophy of the last election where they avoided as many debates as possible," said McCrory.
Catawba College Political Science professor Dr. Michael Bitzer said the call for debate is not unusual. The number, however, is.
"Most presidential campaigns only debate three times. Eight is a very high number," said Dr. Bitzer. He says McCrory is currently the front-runner in this race primarily due to his fundraising advantage at this point. Bitzer added all eyes will be on North Carolina come November. "This is going to be one of the tightest and most closely watched gubernatorial races in the country," he said.
GREENSBORO – Pat McCrory says North Carolina has one of the highest corporate and income tax rates in the Southeast.
"My goal as governor will be to completely reform our tax system so we are not dependent on the income tax or the corporate tax," said the Republican candidate for governor.
McCrory's comments came after a tour of Mother Murphy's Incorporated, a Greensboro company that does an international business in flavoring for food and drinks. He pointed to a 65-year old family-owned business -- that's continued to research and grow -- and an example of the kid of businesses the state should cultivate.
"If we continue to be a state which only buys things, as opposed to make, innovate and produce things, our long-term sustainable economy is in trouble," said McCrory.
McCrory also wants to give breaks to companies that maintain a presence in North Carolina and produce a product.
"We reward those industries that make things, produce things, that innovate things," said McCrory. "Right now our tax policy punishes those who produce things."
The former Charlotte mayor says that's a function of the current tax structure and the state using up-front cash incentives to attract news business to North Carolina.
"That's a slap in the face to existing businesses who have made an investment already in North Carolina," he added.
McCrory also says incentives don't work.
"The fact of the matter right now, North Carolina is having difficulty not only retaining new businesses but also recruiting new businesses," he said.
McCrory also says he wants to do something about the over regulation of industry, saying that it's one of the biggest issues for many companies across the state.
May 14, 2012Russell PeckCampaign ManagerPat McCrory for Governor811 Spring Forest Road, Suite 100Raleigh, NC 27609
Mr. Peck:Lieutenant Governor Dalton is delighted that Mayor McCrory has agreed to join him for series of eight debates to be held at community colleges in every region of the state, starting in June. North Carolina is at a crossroads and the people deserve a straightforward discussion on the future of our state.Our incredible system of community colleges represent the intersection between innovative education and the jobs of the future, so where better to debate our competing visions? Under the Lieutenant Governor's proposal, the two candidates will hold two debates each month at community colleges across North Carolina, including:
June: Durham Technical Community College and Pitt Community College
July: Guilford Technical Community College and Fayetteville Technical Community College
August: Cape Fear Community College (Wilmington) and Asheville-Buncombe Community College
September: Central Piedmont Community College (Charlotte) and College of the Albemarle (Elizabeth City)
As Mayor McCrory agreed to our suggested locations, the Lieutenant Governor is happy to work around your campaign's preferred dates. Please send me your proposed dates by the end of the week and we will work with you to secure sponsorships. Thanks for your prompt acceptance and I look forward to hearing from you.

They're brushed for softness on the inside and warm...but not too warm, wicks sweat well. My only wish for these is for them to have a little more compression around my leg muscles for support. I'm using XS and I'm 5'3" and weigh 118lbs. I'll use these until they fall apart, hopefully for a long time!

Comments about Womens Brooks Utopia Thermal Fitted Tights: I use these tights for running in cold weather. The fit (medium) was dead on and tight enough to still be flattering.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Brooks Utopia Thermal Fitted Tights: I bought these tights in hopes that they would be as warm as a pair of Brooks running pants that I've had for four or five years (unfortunately, I don't remember what they were called, but they're not made anymore). I was hoping the Utopia tights were made from the same material, but they're not. They're a little warmer than my insulated CWX and Saucony tights, but not as much as I hoped. Maybe it's just me, but when it's less than 30 degrees out (which isn't really that cold), I need to wear long underwear plus insulated tights in order to avoid freezing cold, chapped thigh and butt skin. I was hoping these tights could eliminate the need for two other pairs, but it seems like that's not the case. I don't understand why nobody makes truly warm running tights. I can't be the only one. Otherwise, fit is good, I'm 5'-5" 115 lbs with a narrow build and the XS fit me perfectly. Another plus is that there's a flap of fabric over the ankle zippers so it doesn't give you achilles tendon blisters. Also, the reflective parts are effective but not tacky so you're safe without looking ridiculous. Appearance-wise, they're no lululemon, but they're about as flattering as any other pair of tights.

Comments about Womens Brooks Utopia Thermal Fitted Tights: I am a southern girl recently transplanted to Alaska. These tights keep me warm while running on the frozen tundra.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Womens Brooks Utopia Thermal Fitted Tights: I love these tights! I'm a petite 4'11" and bought the XS. They are a little long but I don't swim in these tights. I just leave the zipper unzipped at the bottom. I wore them on a 10+ mile run recently and they felt great!

Generating an expression grammar for SableCC
Yes, you've read it correctly: this post is about generating a grammar for SableCC, the Java-based parser generator.
Expression grammars in SableCC
An expression grammar is that part of a grammar that describes the syntax for operator-based expressions, e.g.
The grammar for this expression must take into account the precedence, associativity and fixity of the operators. For example, the SableCC productions for a grammar for arithmetic expressions consisting of factors and terms (i.e. sums of products) look like this (omitting the transformation annotations):
grammar = exp_list;
exp_list =
{list} exp_list separator exp
| {single} exp
exp =
{plus} exp plus factor
| {factor} factor
factor =
{mult} factor mult term
| {term} term
term {-> exp} =
{number} number
| {exp} l_par exp r_par
separator = {semicolon} semi;
The AST is quite simple:
Abstract Syntax Tree
grammar = exp+ ;
exp =
{plus} [l]:exp [r]:exp |
{mult} [l]:exp [r]:exp |
{number} number
This example illustrates an unfortunate aspect of SableCC: the complete expression grammar has to be written out as production rules for every level of precedence, with the correct associativity and fixity. Even the example for a simple two-operator grammar is already quite complicated. Also note that every operator (or to be precise every precedence level) requires a separate AST node. A real-life programming language such as C++ or Perl has typically about 30 different operators with more than 10 levels of precedence. Writing an expression grammar for such a set of operators is daunting to say the least.
An expression grammar generator
However, the production rules for expression grammars are quite regular, so it is possible to generate the expression grammar using a script. That means we will be creating a parser generator grammar generator.
Every level of precedence requires a separate production rule and as observed above, because of the limited way in which in SableCC the concrete syntax can be transformed into the abstract syntax, every one of these rules results in a different node in the AST. It is therefore essential that we can not only generate the grammar but also at least a skeleton for the visitor methods for every operator node in the AST. Each of the visitor methods should contain a switch/case statement to perform the correct action for each operator. Unfortunately, Java's switch/case does not allow matching of strings. Therefore we need to map the operators to a unique number.
Perl to the rescue
For jobs like this, I very much prefer Perl over any other language; however, the design of the expression grammar generator is not Perl-specific (nor indeed SableCC-specific), so you can easily port it to your language of choice.
To generate the production rules (and the corresponding tokens, AST and visitor methods), we start from a table that succinctly describes our expression grammar:
my %optable=(
1 => ['Prefix',['++', '--'],'AssocNone'],
2 => [' ',['**'],'AssocRight'],
3 => ['Prefix',['!','~'],'AssocRight'],
4 => ['Infix',['*','/','%'],'AssocLeft'],
5 => ['Infix',['+','-'],'AssocLeft'],
6 => ['Infix',['<<','>>'],'AssocLeft'],
7 => ['Infix',['<=','>=','>','<'],'AssocNone'],
8 => ['Infix',['==','!='],'AssocNone'],
9 => ['Infix',['&','bitand'],'AssocLeft'],
10 => ['Infix',['|','^','bitor','xor'],'AssocLeft'],
11 => ['Infix',['&&','and'],'AssocLeft'],
12 => ['Infix',['||','or'],'AssocLeft'],
13 => ['Infix',['='],'AssocRight'],
Based on this table, the script will generate the grammar and the corresponding Java code for the nodes from templates (expressions_templ.sablecc3, ExpressionsVisitor_templ.java).
The templates contain commented placeholders, e.g. //OP_EXPR_PRODUCTIONS
, which are replaced by the code generated by the script.
We create the operator tokens from corresponding helpers as follows:
# Helpers
$line=~/OP_EXPR_HELPERS/ && do {
for my $lev (1..$nlevs) {
my @ops = @{$optable{$lev}->[1]};
print $GRAM "ops_l$lev = '".join ("' | '",@ops)."';\n";
# Tokens
$line=~/OP_EXPR_TOKENS/ && do {
for my $lev (1..$nlevs) {
my $opname=($lev==$signop)?'sign':"op_l$lev"; # special case: sign
print $GRAM "$opname = ops_l$lev;\n";
The actual production rules depend on the fixity and associativity. For example, the Infix AssocRight rule template:
print $GRAM "{op_l$lev} terml$lm1 op_l$lev term_l$lev
{-> New expr.l$lev (op_l$lev,term_l$lm1.expr,term_l$lev.expr) }\n";
where $lm1=$lev-1
AST generation is equally straightforward:
$line=~/OP_EXPR_AST/ && do {
for my $lev (1..$nlevs) {
my $opname=($lev==$signop)?'sign':"op_l$lev"; # special case: sign
my $fixity=$optable{$lev}->[0];
if ($fixity eq 'Prefix') {
print $GRAM " {l$lev} [op]:op_l$lev [l]:expr |\n";
} elsif ($fixity eq 'Postfix') {
print $GRAM " {l$lev} [op]:op_l$lev [r]:expr |\n";
} else {
print $GRAM " {l$lev} [op]:$opname [l]:expr [r]:expr |\n";
We then generate an operator table for the Java class for our AST walker:
# Java operator table
$line=~/OP_EXPR_OPTABLE_ENTRIES/ && do {
for my $lev (1..$nlevs) {
my @ops = @{$optable{$lev}->[1]};
my $i=0;
for my $op (@ops) {
print $JAVA "\t\toptable.put(\"$op\",$lev$i);\n";
Each operator gets a unique number based on its level and its position in the list. The Java methods for each operator precedence level contain a switch/case based on this number.
print $JAVA "
public void outAL${lev}Expr(AL${lev}Expr node) {
String opstr=node.getOp().toString().trim();
switch (optable.get(opstr)) {
my @ops = @{$optable{$lev}->[1]};
my $i=0;
for my $op (@ops) {
print $JAVA "
case $lev$i: // '$op'
setNodeInt (node, getNodeInt (node.getL()) $op getNodeInt (node.getR()));
print $JAVA "\n}\n}\n";
For example, a tree walker which performs integer computation has following method for the level-4 node:
public void outAL4Expr(AL4Expr node) {
String opstr=node.getOp().toString().trim();
switch (optable.get(opstr)) {
case 40: // '*'
setNodeInt (node, getNodeInt (node.getL()) * getNodeInt (node.getR()));
case 41: // '/'
setNodeInt (node, getNodeInt (node.getL()) / getNodeInt (node.getR()));
case 42: // '%'
setNodeInt (node, getNodeInt (node.getL()) % getNodeInt (node.getR()));
Trying it out
To try it out, you can run the example, all files are in the archive BlogExample-ExpressionGrammar.zip.
The script is not very generic, all the file names and tables are hardcoded. So you simply run
$ perl expression_parser_generator.pl
This will generate the grammar expressions_gen.sablecc3
, so you run sablecc on it:
$ sablecc expression_parser_generator.pl
The example provides a Main.java
and a Calculate.java
, which is based on the generated ExpressionsVisitor_gen.java
. Compile and run:
$ javac Main.java
$ java Main test_expressions.gc
Every expression in the test file should evaluate to 42.
One of the deficiencies of SableCC is the lack of an expression grammar generator. I turns out it is not hard to write one in Perl, you're welcome to it. For full details, see the source code.

Debating Darwin—How the Church Responded to the Evolution Bombshell
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Origins News Round-up for November 15, 2013
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Francis Collins Talks about Science, Medicine, Religion, and God's Action in the World
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
Series: From the Dust (11 entries)
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Series: Evolution and Faith in Latin America (2 entries)
Zoologist Steve Roels shares a summary of his experiences listening and talking with the scientists in attendance at the Third World Summit on Evolution and also offers a reflective essay and poem about evolution, psalms of praise, Darwin, and the islands that so inspired him.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
A Review of "Evolution vs. God" from Reasons to Believe
Its questionable treatment of science and scientists—with an attack mindset and a goal to make scientists look stupid—causes me to advise extreme caution. Bluntly, I see this video as counter to our evangelistic mission.
Listening to Young Atheists: Lessons for a stronger Christianity
Listening to his story I had to remind myself that Phil was an atheist, not a seminary student recalling those who had inspired him to enter the pastorate. As the narrative developed, however, it became clear where things came apart for Phil.
A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Bigger Than We Think
My Hawking-induced crisis of faith spurred me to move beyond a "God of the gaps"—a shrunken deity enlisted merely to fill any remaining pockets of mystery that science has yet to illuminate. Indeed, my experience has been that recapturing the doctrine of Creation in its scriptural fullness points us toward a much more exciting understanding of creation. It points us toward a God for whom science is a gift rather than a stumbling block. And perhaps most importantly, it points to a Creator God who is worthy of worship, enjoyment, and trust.
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Series: Excerpts from "Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design" (7 entries)
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: The Church Fathers and Two Books Theology (8 entries)
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.

Synnex China took part in the Canalys Channels Forum APAC in 2012, bringing over 50 channel partners and our own staff, from whom we received an overwhelmingly positive response. Canalys has shared a lot of very insightful trends and provided an opportunity for us and our partners to connect with a lot of world-renowned vendors' executive teams. We are glad to return as an official distributor in 2013.
Nicky Lo, President and CEO, Synnex China
This event will allow us to reward our top partners and give them the opportunity to meet with those top vendors in one convenient location. We are looking forward to building on this forum for many years to come.
Shailendra Gupta, President, Ingram Micro Asia Pacific
Last year's event was refreshing and gave me many new ideas and perspective on how to operate my business. I wanted my channel partners to have the same opportunity as I had and so we are fully committed to making the APAC event a success.
Narong Intanate, Group CEO, ECS Holdings Limited
To understand the future trends and what's going on.
To see vendors' strategies and policies for the channels.
Good opportunity to interact with APAC channels.
Alex Wang, Chairman, Asgard System
My few interactions with other companies such as ourselves was a unique opportunity. It was good to see that we all share common issues and have a similar perspective.
Venkata Durganadh Kota, Director, Locuz Enterprise Solutions
I get new perspective in running business... new opportunities... new challenges... new knowledge and great networking...
Kristoforus, Business Development Manager, Nusantara Compnet
I was genuinely impressed by the entire event and it is a commendable act for Canalys for its debut APAC event. My congratulations to the entire Canalys team and its associated partners for pulling off this great feat.
Pawan Khurana, CEO, Quantum
I have to congratulate you for this fantastic event. You have certainly hit the bull's eye with putting on such a channel-focused event. The caliber of vendor-reseller dialogue generated was outstanding, your idea of enhancing disti-partner relationships certainly worked for us. There has been a void in the events market for such an event. It was highly time efficient, rather than single vendor-centric conferences put on by the major vendors. Certainly looking forward to next year's event.
Hanspeter Eiselt, COO, Network Neighbourhood
A valuable and informative conference. The analysis of market trends was credible and practical. Participating businesses can not only validate their business priorities but set new directions.
Donna Adam, Marketing Manager, Express Data
Thank you very much for an excellent event. It was very informative and this will help us to take our business to next level in 2013.
Dipak Shah, Business Head, Roshani
Congratulations to you and entire Canalys team for organizing such a grand and impressive channel partner event. Look forward to see you again in November 2013.
Nihar Kapadia, Director, Entrust
The biggest benefit is to hear from an analyst focusing on the channel side of the business; Canalys' opinion sees the market from the channel's perspective and thus provides a diversity of opinions from the vendors.
Kenneth Koh, Country General Manager, Avnet
The event is pleasant and more than our expectations. It's a perfect caliber and mixture of presenters, resellers and vendors. All aspects are to the liking of the partners. Overall the whole event it is well organized, polarized and fully a non-agnostic format.

Happy PALs
Approximately 300 youth and 30 teen leaders from Henrico Police Athletic League traveled to Washington, D.C. June 28 for a day trip planned and coordinated by HPAL board member Raiford Beasley and led by Sgt. Kenny Ragland. At their first stop, the group attended a half-hour memorial service for fallen Henrico County police officers at the National Police Memorial. Sue and Richard Cheney presented a floral wreath at the memorial in honor of their daughter, Virginia State Trooper Jessica J. Cheney of Henrico, who was killed in the line of duty. Beasley also read the name of Henrico officers who died in the line of duty, and Sgt. J.A. Livingstone played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes to close the service. Following the tribute, the campers enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shade of the trees on the Mall lawn and proceeded to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, where they admired King's statue and gathered for group photos. The campers concluded their trip with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where HPAL board member Don Blake remarked that "the enormity of sacrifice of our military was evident, and absorbed in solemn and respectful observation."

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Scene sparkles, food falls flat
American Tap Room's new Willow Lawn location offers breath-taking atmosphere, but average dishes
On a rare warm night in late November, the newly opened American Tap Room was, to my surprise, bright and packed with guests – many eating outside.
I didn't have a clue what to expect from this unheard-of restaurant in an unexpected spot – right in the heart of Willow Lawn. I came to learn it's not unheard of; it's a restaurant chain out of Northern Virginia.
"It definitely improves the look of Willow Lawn," said my friend, who ventured to the new spot with me on a Monday night for dinner one week after the restaurant opened. > Read more.
Overstuffed turkeys
Free Birds offers some giggles, but more eye-rolling
Thanksgiving season is upon us – a time for friends, family, and recklessly indulgent overeating. As we settle into our annual turkey-induced food coma, there's no better time to take in a festive holiday film. And Free Birds, for better or worse, has the distinguished honor of being one of the only Thanksgiving-themed movies currently on the market.
The film stars Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson as Reggie and Jake, two turkeys who can't stand the Thanksgiving tradition of watching their neighbors be plucked and served for dinner. > Read more.

text: Home Culture Why Zadie Smith Puts Fans Before Critics The White Teeth author isn't worrying about the mixed reviews of her new book, NW. By: Miles Marshall Lewis Posted: Sept. 28 2012 12:48 AM 0 Zadie Smith (Dominique Nabokov); Penguin Press (The Root) -- Ever since her praiseworthy debut, White Teeth, at the turn of the century, British writer Zadie Smith, 36, has been lauded for her keen view of modern-day multicultural London and her ear for witty, multigenerational dialogue. Faithful readers of Smith's subsequent titles, The Autograph Man (2002), On Beauty (2005) and her latest novel, NW, show up for entertaining prose cut with a literary scholar's attention to compelling characters and the playfulness of a postmodern stylist. NW traces the evolving relations between childhood girlfriends Keisha Blake and Leah Hanwell -- 30-something Brits of Jamaican and Irish ancestry, respectively -- born and raised once upon a time in the fictional council estate (i.e., housing project) of Caldwell, in Northwest London. Keisha marries up, becoming a barrister struggling with a lifelong crisis of self-identity; Leah stays in the hood with her French-African hairstylist husband, harboring more than a little class-envy resentment against her old friend. Like some Spielbergian director who balances mainstream classics with more personal exercises in her own creative abilities, Smith has faced mild disapproval of NW from critics expecting something along the slightly more conventional lines of On Beauty. But as the admittedly "thin-skinned" novelist told The Root recently, she only respects evaluations of her work that are "intelligent" rather than "spiteful." Currently a professor of creative writing at New York University, Smith, mother to daughter Katherine, spoke to The Root about lit criticism, her writing process and the ever-changing landscape of London. The Root: NW has arrived seven years after On Beauty. How do you organize your writing time nowadays, given the changes in your life since then (i.e., motherhood)? Zadie Smith: The standard answer to this is, "I organize my time much more effectively," but I'm afraid that was only an early reaction to changed circumstances, and as time has gone on, I've reverted back into my old, bad habits. The difference is, these days when I waste four hours looking at women's dresses on the Internet, I am painfully aware that I'm a) doing this instead of looking after my child, b) doing this when I should be writing or marking essays (which was always true) and c) paying good money to buy the wasted time (which was not always true). So it's like standard-issue writer's guilt, but multiplied by a million! The bottom line is I have much less time to write, yet sadly this does not always compel me to work efficiently. Sometimes it does, but not always. TR: When you read recently at a Barnes & Noble store in Manhattan's Union Square, they introduced you as being more proud of NW than any other book you've written. Is that true? ZS: Oh, people are always proudest of the books they just wrote. The feeling passes. But I guess part of it is the sense I had of writing as an adult instead of a very young person; of writing perhaps a little more honestly than I have in the past; and of being in control of my effects. I wanted to write a black existentialist novel, told in separate parts, that replicated some feelings I have had about being alive. I wanted each section to create a completely different sensation, because I don't find life to be seamless. I knew it wouldn't be as pleasant as On Beauty, but that book is a comic fantasy, and I wanted this book to be a sort of problem-play about things as they are, not as I would dream them to be. When I finished I felt I had done a lot of what I set out to do, and that's the only real satisfaction you can get from writing. TR: How do you deal with mixed reviews?

Texas inmate waits more than 30 years for retrial
Texas inmate in prison, awaiting retrial more than 30 years after murder conviction overturned
A Kansas man who remains in a Texas prison more than 30 years after his murder conviction was overturned has become the subject of a fight between the state, which insists he's being legally held, and a federal appeals court that says he's wrongly imprisoned.
Jerry Hartfield's murder conviction was overturned in 1983, and the governor commuted his death sentence to life in prison 11 days later.
Hartfield's case didn't receive more attention until 2006, when he filed a handwritten motion saying his constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated because he hadn't been retried.
A new trial doesn't seem close. On Wednesday, a federal appeals court sent his case back to the state appeals court, where it is likely to be tied up longer.

Vétérinaires Sans Frontières (VSF) Belgium, member of VSF Europa and the Coalition of European Lobbies for Eastern African Pastoralism (CELEP), warmly welcomes the recent expressed opinion of Bill Gates about foreign aid in the media. Foreign aid programmes do matter and certainly if they address poor farmers - the majority of people in developing countries.
Vétérinaires Sans Frontières calls upon the aid organizations and governments not to forget the livestock and the important role it plays in the livelihoods of the refugees, and asks for an increased awareness to their plight and situation. As a professional non-profit technical and integrated international development organization we are available to assist at any time; already our specialists are operational in the area.
Several VSF-E member organisations including AVSF France and Veterinarios sin fronteras are active in Haiti and are calling for solidarity with Haiti after the earthquake.
On October 8th 2009, representatives from the VSF-E network gathered in Teramo, Italy for a symposium about Food Sovereignty. The objective of the symposium was to drafts proposals in order to contribute in spreading and implementing the paradigm of food sovereignty in its different aspects.

On the occasion of the World Day to Combat Desertification that is celebrated on June 17th every year, organisations representing or supporting traditional mobile livestock keepers caution that the livelihoods of millions of dryland dwellers could be threatened by indiscriminate conversion of so-called "wastelands" into bio-fuel plantations.

The unexplored potential of local marketing and endogenous livestock development
There is an unexplored potential to be tapped for poverty alleviation and sustainable agricultural development: initiatives based on local marketing and endogenous livestock production systems. Southern countries need not simply follow the path of industrialised livestock production for the world market, as the northern countries decided to do several decades ago. North and South can learn from each other, as numerous options towards sustainable agricultural development - based on local initiatives and marketing - can be found in all continents.

The House of Payne - The FA Cup and non-League football is a match made in heaven
8:00am Saturday 26th October 2013 in Sport By John Payne
It seems to be commonly accepted now that football's domestic cup competitions are on the decline – with the Premier League and Champions League now king.
The FA Cup is apparently not what it once was, while the League Cup has become essentially a competition for reserves among the big clubs.
Their cause is not helped when that has stretched to not so big clubs – one Championship club made 11 changes for their early season Capital One Cup ties.
You can lay some of the blame at the ruling bodies: a failure to impose sanctions on teams that field weakened teams; messing about with the times of finals; demeaning Wembley by making it home to semi-finals; doing away with second replays; too many different sponsors; all the way back to 13 years ago when Manchester United got special dispensation not to take part.
All poor decisions, which in their own way have devalued competitions. But if the FA have to take some of the blame they should also get credit for the fact that, at non-League level, their competitions are in unprecedented rude health.
The reason is simple, the FA have set prize money at levels that make a real difference to grassroots clubs.
Burton, Stevenage and Mansfield have all reached the Football League in recent years shortly after lucrative FA Cup runs.
But even in the FA Trophy, Kingstonian and other eliminated sides were bemoaning missing out on £2,700 as the price for losing a match.
Cup blot: Dowson's record in the cup competitions is not the greatest SP73008
The one blot on Alan Dowson's otherwise excellent record as Ks manager is a shocking cup record – and added to the FA Cup first qualifying round defeat at Margate, it's a costly blot.
Dowson is this week grateful to his board for saying the cup failures don't mean big cutbacks at Ks.
But it is evidence that no one in non-League football these days can afford to take cup football lightly with cup success one of the best ways of funding a promotion push.
