Brentford boss Uwe Rosler has not given up hope on a top six finish despite Saturday's damaging defeat at Stevenage, writes Stuart Amos.
Clayton Donaldson and Sam Saunders both missed penalties as the Bees crashed 2-1 in Hertfordshire to leave them five points adrift of the play-offs.
The two spot kicks would have given them a 2-0 advantage, but instead it was the hosts that went 2-0 up before a late Sam Saunders strike proved little more than a consolation.
Rosler's men entertain Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow knowing only a win will keep them in the hunt for a top six finish.
Even then they are relying on Stevenage slipping up at Sheffield United to take the race down to the final day.
Brentford travel to struggling Chesterfield – who will be relegated should they lose tomorrow – on the final day of the campaign and the Griffin Park chief wants his side's to be still alive next weekend.
"I can't fault my players. We went high risk on Saturday and came back and got the goal. But in the heat of the moment we weren't doing everything right," he said.
"Obviously we have to score from two penalties. It is as simple as that. We had some very good performances, but we also had players who under-performed.
"I don't think Stevenage will win at Sheffield United. We need to win our home game and see where we are.
"We are still mathematically in it. We want to finish as high as we can."
The defeat ended a run of seven games without defeat, although the previous two games - at Hartlepool United and at home to play-off rivals Notts County - produced back-to-back 0-0 stalemates.
And whatever happens this weekend, boss Rosler reckoned the experience of recent weeks would leave his side better placed next term.
"Obviously it is a learning curve and we have had a few of those now," he added.
"I would have liked to win a few more of those. I think we are laying the foundations for next year."

Topic: My beautiful sister Caroline
It is a while since I posted anything on the site, I think we as a family got so desperate to try and see some improvement in my sister's health. Sadly it was not meant to be and Caroline lost her fight with this dreadful illness two weeks ago. She battled it and her own doctor was amazed at her strength. She lasted 18 months following diagnosis and it was thought she would only last 6.
Although I would like to say she is now at peace I don't feel that way, she was not ready to go, she wanted so much to see her children grow up and I can't accept that this has happened.
We all miss her so much just not being able to pick up the phone and speak with her is so hard. To see what this disease did to such a healthy young woman was heartbreaking and she did not deserve it. Caroline had a great job, healthy lifestyle didn't smoke very rarely drank and just doted on her kids.
I wish everybody on this site luck, because sometimes luck is what you need most. If nothing else I realise how precious life is and no one knows what cards we will be dealt, so make the most of life and love those who are precious to you.

Founded in 1994, Genesis is a New Zealand-based biotechnology company, listed on the New Zealand and Australian stock exchanges. It has built a broad therapeutic development platform targeting immune disorders and cancer and is focusing on developing RNAi therapeutics. The company has an extensive patent portfolio.Genesis has taken three products to Phase II clinical studies in collaboration with a number of international companies including Immunex (now Amgen) and Corixa (now GSK).AgriGenesis Biosciences Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis, focused on Agbio projects.BioJoule Ltd, another subsidiary, is developing biofuels and biomaterials such as ethanol and lignin by growing and refining shrubby Salix.
Genesis utilised RNA interference technology in its plant research program since the mid 1990s and has successfully transferred this expertise in silencing technology to develop RNAi therapeutics for humans. We are targeting changes in nutrient uptake and energy production, two important aspects of cellular physiology that differ between tumor and normal cells. We aim to identify siRNAs that lead to cancer cell death, and those that act synergistically with chemotherapeutic drugs in a combinatorial approach.ZYROGEN
Genesis has discovered and patented Zyrogen, the fifth member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family (FGFR5), a unique cell surface molecule. The data collected to date provides compelling evidence of Zyrogen's potential as a therapeutic target in three areas: autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjõgrens syndrome (SS), osteoporosis and as an adjuvant to promote a therapeutic immune response. A neutralising antibody is in pre-clinical development.MED-1™ Tuberculosis Vaccine
This vaccine has demonstrated an ability to reduce levels of infection in mice infected with M. tuberculosis.Recrystalisation Inhibition Proteins
Genesis has identified a family of proteins in pasture grasses that reduce the size of ice crystals during freezing and, under different conditions, accelerate the evaporation of water from solutions. These molecules are active at low protein concentrations (ppm) and can be made by recombinant DNA techniques. Numerous application s in food and industrial uses are likely.Plant Long Distance Signalling Molecules
Genesis has analysed the phloem sap and identified signaling genes acting within the vasculature of plants. Genesis has developed the world's largest and most comprehensive database of phloem mobile transcripts, proteins and small RNA. Knowledge of this long distance regulatory network will assist development of economically important traits for a range of whole plant processes.

Neon lights sticking out of cinder blocks greeted attendees of Kate and Laura Mulleavy's Fall 2013 show for Rodarte, which took '90s motifs to an extreme and beautiful place. The sisters mixed patterns, textures, and metaphors to pleasing effect, perhaps best articulated in a selection of dresses with tie-dye gowns and sheer bodices with a floral appliqué. There were also lots of gauzy layers: sheer skirts stuck out from underneath outerwear, and there were opaque panels attached to slinky sheer dresses. Of course, it wouldn't be Rodarte if there weren't a completely unexpected element to the show. Enter the flesh-toned socks some of the models wore that were decorated with tattoos by tattoo artist Scott Campbell. Our full review will be posted shortly.

"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I ordered these in the color "aloe". They look so beautiful in person! They have a pearl finish, which you can't see on the computer, but it adds such an extra element of class. I redesigned the back of the RSVP cards so that they were largely the aloe color instead of so much black, and they made the changes for me quickly and so beautifully! Very easy process, with a stunning end result."
"This product is outstanding. I have been most impressed by the quality, service and ease of use on the website. I had my invitations delivered to Australia and they were worth every cent and more. Thankyou for making this part of my wedding planning easy and extremely affordable. I love my invitations!!"
"I could not be more happy with how these invitations turned out. I paid the small upcharge for the pearl paper and was nervous that it would feel flimsy, but they are seriously perfect. There are plenty of aspects of planning this wedding that have been complicated, but the this was not one of them. The ONLY caveat was that you can't rearrange any of the text boxes on your own for spacing and have to work with a designer, however, they got back with me very quickly and it was a painless process. Even if our cruise ship wedding sinks in Alaska, I will have had FABULOUS invitations."
"We completely changed the invitation style and font. We were able to move the font around and add a photo that worked perfectly with the invitation. We chose pearl shimmer paper and it was perfect! We were so happy with the outcome!"

Decal Enforcement Day
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Dec. 6, 2005
Decal Enforcement Day Is Dec. 8
Display Now to Avoid a Ticket
Law enforcement officers will be checking vehicle decals closely this week. Fairfax County residents are reminded that they must display their green Fairfax County decals on all vehicles or risk getting a ticket and a fine.
Police and/or sheriff departments from the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church and Manassas, the counties of Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun, and the towns of Herndon, Leesburg and Middleburg will participate in a regionwide enforcement effort beginning on Thursday, Dec. 8. Green decals should be placed next to the state safety inspection sticker; the prior year's decal should be removed. Motorcycle decals should be affixed to the bike's fork next to the state safety inspection sticker.
By law, the deadline for displaying the green 2006 decal was Nov. 15. After Dec. 8, law enforcement personnel from the 10 participating jurisdictions will issue tickets to drivers of vehicles from any of the other jurisdictions without decals or with expired decals (e.g. last year's red decal).
Decals can still be obtained at the Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 223, in Fairfax. Decal fees are $25 per car, truck or van; $18 per motorcycle; and $23 per taxicab. Vehicle decals will be issued at no cost to active duty military personnel who reside in the county due to military orders, and who are the sole owners of vehicles garaged or parked in the county and who maintain their legal residences in a state other than Virginia. Vehicles with out-of-state license plates are required to display a county decal if they are normally garaged here. Vehicle taxes and tickets must be paid in order to purchase decals.
Residents of the towns of Herndon and Vienna must purchase town decals, available from their respective town halls. Residents of the town of Clifton must purchase a town tag from the town clerk.
For more information, call the Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration at 703-222-8234 (español 703-324-3855), TTY 703-222-7594, or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta. For 24-hour recorded information, call 703-324-INFO (4636), TTY 711.

Cygni - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkThat name is downright embarrassing. Reply
mavere - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkYea my first thought was that the name belies the sleek professionalism of everything else.
Doesn't matter, though, as long as it's not on the fro... oh nevermind. Reply
dananski - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkDarn tootin'! Everyone knows it's spelled 1337...
In all seriousness, who cares about a name?
I'll be interested to know how quiet they are with such beefy hardware. Reply
JacobCody - Saturday, December 29, 2012 - linkLove my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online(Click on menu Home)
http://goo.gl/89ymM Reply
Googer - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkWho cares. That PC looks like a finely crafted work of art. It probably deserves the name LEET. Reply
CaptainDoug - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkIt seemed pretty tall so I checked, the thing is 8.7" tall. I understand that it is holding much more than a traditional HTPC would but I think I'd sacrifice performance for space. With a HTPC/NAS I'm thinking about going with this case(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and calling it good. Gaming won't be a priority but it could fit a decently specced GPU in there if I wanted (which I don't). I guess it's just not for me. Reply
l3bowsk1 - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkYeah, that's way to tall. I've built an HTPC into this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and it works great. It's got two slots for 3.5 drives, and one dedicated 2.5 slot, so it'll work as a NAS with a couple large storage drives and an SSD system drive, but it's only 12.75" deep, so I don't need a super-deep shelf.
Plus it'll fit up to 10" GPUs (I've got a GTX 460 in with room to spare), although with newer, capable midrange cards being barely longer than the PCIE slot, large card support isn't so critical these days. Reply
mcnabney - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkThis is a gaming HTPC. it has to be tall enough to hold full size cards and deep enough to hold modern GPUs and the power supplies that feed them. Those slender HTPC cases that only hold half-height cards aren't going to hold anything capable of playing games.
However, the prices are just stupid high. I have built my own HTPC and I can create what they are selling for half of the price with just as fancy a case. Reply
TreXor - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkYah, if you wanna do gaming with it, and I believe thats what the thing is mainly for, you will need a certain size for all the necessary hardware. And its still a lot smaller and nicer looking than a desktop tower.
Also did some math on the entry system. Couldn't find exactly the case they are using but the ones with similar quality cost up to 1200 bucks. So I guess their price is actually fair. Reply
EnzoFX - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkExcept this is WAY taller than standard size PCI-E cards. Reply
mcnabney - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkIt has enough height for a little ventilation underneath it, the motherboard + MB tray, the GPU + bridges, and enough clearance for electrical connections and the water tubes. I use a Norco 4U case ($79.99!) and it is 7.5" tall, only 1.2" shorter than this thing. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkBut you won't have the LCD on the front with its amazing lack of glare or reflection of any kind!
They kept this stunning technical achievement to themselves. A secret that no one else can know. The knowledge is too much for mortal men to handle! Reply
headbox - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkWow, 11 years later, a PC approaching the internal design of a Mac Pro / Power Mac G5. I bet they will sell dozens of these! Reply
EnzoFX - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkWith this hardware, and this size of a case, how about just putting your desktop on it's side? You'd get similar acoustics as well probably.
=P Reply
stalkerte - Thursday, December 13, 2012 - linkExpensive, albeit off the shelf - http://www.shop.perfecthometheater.com/HTPC-alumin... Reply
SetiroN - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkYou took the one with an integrated fullHD integrated LCD as an example...
their cases aren't excessively and quite beautiful, thank you for the link :) Reply
mcnabney - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkA better option is to make a thin HTPC with a nice CPU and GPU - which is put to sleep when not in use. Then make a server/NAS to do the tuning, storage, remote access... in a nice low-power profile since it will be on 24/7. I have a colossal WHS setup in the basement with 12 HDD and a low-power AMD processor. It backs everything in the house up and holds all the media, all while only eating 45 watts. Reply
DarkUltra - Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - linkBut that case is not prepared for serious watercooling. Reply
InterClaw - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkThe spec sheet says up to 2x480GB system drives, but the pictures of that drive cage shows three drives. How come? Reply
ShieTar - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkThose look like three of the 4x3GB storage drives rather than the 2SSD drives. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkNo they don't. Sorry, was looking at the wrong picture. Reply
ingwe - Friday, December 14, 2012 - linkMinus the name, I would love to have a maxed out one of these. I don't like managing different systems and so it would be nice to have one system that did everything. However, I could never see myself buying one of these because to do all of the things it wants to do doesn't work very well. Power consumption is way too high to be a great NAS and it is too big to be a great HTPC. Maybe others of you feel differently, but for the price I would rather have an HTPC/NAS and then a separate gaming rig. That would be sooo much cheaper too.
In any case, the internals are beautiful. As someone else pointed out, it looks like the Mac G5. I would love it AT tested this to find out if the engineering level matches the level of styling. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Sunday, December 30, 2012 - linkI have always thought that's not integration at all, that's 100% standard:
" desktop PC, gaming console, cable TV STB, Blu-ray player and NAS into one unit "
Well guess what, every PC can do all that (tv tuner needed / blueray drive (just use your DVD ) - so really there's no THERE, there.
People have a freaking fit though... they want their HTPC just so, then they buy some stupid dvd player, then a blueray player, then some "box" as if at home they need some stupid storage for the "whole house"....
So, the main thing I like about this company is they aren't idiots specializing in one thing.
Their box does it all, just like all my PC's.
That's all any of those named devices are, anyway, people, but you're all so golldurn brainwashed and so full of yourselves, none of you know it, and likely never will.
Now as for my requirements that may be present in some unpolished form - the ISSUE IS - when I'm surfing, the partiers need to be having their gaming war, AND the loungers need to be watching their flick - blueray, netflicks or otherwise - a camera playing the trips vids... all that HAS to be able to happen all at once...
So what I want is a box like this with perhaps two boards, or maybe virtual OS/s handling separate mice, keyboards, gaming pads, and remotes - all at once.
There should be 4 screens - one or two across the room - so boost or wiring is necessary, with multiple sound outputs controllable - all that has to be integrated and color coded for setup.
WIFI keyboards and mice, game pads/joysticks, wireless for printing, etc.
What we're always lacking is an actual multiple duty system that allows more than 2 groups of people to interact at once.
So the "companies" are still missing the ball - this is closer because any PC can do all this - at least this is closer - now let's hear about many operators with the various activities going on all at once - no one has to stop and wait and give it up for someone else... come on - WHEN..... Reply
versesuvius - Saturday, December 15, 2012 - linkAnything horizontal is HTPC now? That is just great! Start naming things around the house and you are a technologist. Reply
Laststop311 - Monday, December 17, 2012 - linkStarting at 1798 for the base series with no upgrades. The case looks nice. Do I need my cpu and gpu usage meter to be filling my room with light? No, I would have that permanently turned off so there's money wasted.
I'm not really big on it having to look so neat and proper and just like a stereo receiver. Why does a HTPC HAVE to look like a stereo receiver to go near your tv? It's a stupid restriction. Wit the kind of money you are spending on a LEET system with some proper specs not just bare minimum crap I could build something utterly amazing out of the bitfenix prodigy. Yes I know it's bigger and doesn't look like a stereo receiver, but it does the same job.
I could easily put in an i7-3770k overclocked to 4.5ghz on a 140mm double thick rad push/pull and a gtx 690 with a liquid cooling block and a 240mm double thick rad with 4x fans in push/pull and all the fans in the system would be dead silent noctua fans and it would be infinitely cheaper then what the leet would cost with full water cooling and an i7 and 690 Reply
Xential - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkVery impressive and very sleek. Would look pretty good under my TV :) Reply
dotems - Saturday, December 29, 2012 - linkWhy would they use a stereo sound card for that box when most home theatre setups use 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setups. If they wanted to use that line they could have gone for the xonar essence ST with a xonar H6 card and got the benefit of the headphone amp and been able to output anything from stereo to 7.1. Sure you could output digital to a receiver but why use an expensive sound card to do that, it makes no sense to me. Reply
DarkUltra - Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - linkIf you want EAX 5.0, ALchemy and 8 channel lossless over HDMI, you need a discreet soundcard. I expected this system to have a auzentech x-fi hometheater hd as an option (with internal hdmi passthrough). Reply

Kuwaiti Tea
India has the largest tea drinking population in the world! Taiwan is home to the bubble tea, or tea mixed with tapioca pearls and condensed milk. In the Middle Eastern countries, tea is steeped in hot water with saffron and spices. And that's what I've made today. And it was quite lovely. Tea is so versatile that it absorbs the flavors of the spices and/or fruit/flowers that you add to the hot water while steeping.
Kuwaiti Tea
(adapted from here)
1 pinch saffron
1 cup water
2 cardamom pods, broken
2 tea bags
1 tsp ginger, minced
Heat the water in a saucepan, adding the ginger, cardamom and saffron. When it reaches a boil, add the tea bags and allow to steep for about a minute. Strain and serve. Add sugar, if you'd like.
Traditionally, there is no ginger, but I wanted that extra zing.
This is off to EC at Simple Indian Food for Think Spice - Think Cardamom. Thanks for hosting - I've now discovered a new tea option!
I'm also sending this to Siri for the AWED: Middle Eastern Cuisine event. This is going to be so much fun - what a cool theme, Siri! AWED was started by Dhivya with a Mexican theme - you can see the fabulous round-up here.
And this is part of the RECIPE MARATHON. Do check out the other recipes posted today as part of the Marathon:
Bhags' Tomato Shorba.
Dhivs' Bhindi Jaipuri
Swati's Dum Ka Murg Zafrani
Divya's Peas Kurma
Valli's Chicken Semi Gravy.
Raaga's Masala Lauki Chana Dal
Lakshmi's Sour Cream Cake and
Siri's Baked Cauliflower!
And believe me, if I could've sent it to any more events, I would have! :)

@ pb&b - thanks! I became a coffee person too when I moved to the US, but quickly came back to this side, as you said, because of the versatility.
@ EC - You're welcome. Saffron is definitely unusual, but the tea tastes wholly of cardamom, which is why I submitted this recipe!
@ Kamala - Thanks! I loved the color!
@ Bhags - Yes, definitely a nice option for milk-less tea.
@ Sowmya - Thanks!
@ Bee - thanks. Didn't know about that event - will do!

Minutes 3-11-09
James Kennedy Public Library
Board of Trustees
Minutes of the March 11, 2009, Meeting
The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the James Kennedy Public Library was held on Wednesday, March 11, 2009, in the Hoffman Community Room. Present: Angela English, Dan Boice, Sally Brant, Joyce Bries, Dorothy Digmann, Barb Heitzman, Brenda Ingles, Karen Knepper, Becky Schwendinger, and Library Director Shirley Vonderhaar.
1. The meeting was called to order at 6:45pm by Board President Angela English.
2. Agenda: Dorothy MOVED "Approval of the Agenda as posted," which motion was seconded and CARRIED. Ayes: Boice, Brant, Bries, Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Schwendinger; Nays: None.
3. Agenda Consent Calendar:
• Minutes of the February 11th Regular Meeting: Attendance was corrected.
• Correspondence & Communications: The Bear Creek Woodcarving Club sent a card with thanks for providing space for their display, along with a donation.
• February Librarian's Report: Many figures were missing because of the computer problems. Shirley summarized recent events, noting that, in addition to the server going bad, the automatic data backup, including the program from Follett Destiny, had not functioned, so that there was no backup data. Promise Data Recovery, a company in Chicago, was working on the problem and trying to locate and identify files. They expected to know if they could retrieve the data by Tuesday, March 17. If they were unable to recover the data, there would be no charge. Otherwise, they would charge a fee in addition to media costs for transmitting the data. If this fails, we will have to get the data from the Follett Company as stored three years ago. This will require adding and deleting records of all actions taken over the past three years, as well as inputting patron information, all of which will take a great deal of time.
• Bills:
February Claims Report
General Library Claims for March: The Board agreed to add the following items to the claims:
$1,200 for the commissioned art work (from the Trust Account)
$175 to Kim Benton for prizes for the film festival (also from the Trust Account)
$1,550 plus media costs to Promise Data Recovery if they succeed in restoring the files.
February/March Credit Card Claims
• Budget Reports:
February City Report
February Library Report: The Board noted that things were getting tight.
• Trust Account Reports:
February Bank Statement
February Balance Report
Trust Account Expenditure Report
• February Gifts to Library Trust Account
Donation: $100.00
From: Brenda Ingles
Restrictions: Adopt-a-book program
Donation: $50.00
From: Dyersville Federated Woman's Club
Restrictions: Adopt-a-book program
Donation: $50.00
From: Friends Book Sale payment
Restrictions: Deposited in error; should go to the Friends account.
Angela expressed the Board's thanks to these women for their generosity.
• Program Reports
February Report on Programs & Attendance:
March Calendar of Events:
Schedule for Upcoming Programs: Shirley pointed out the D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) Day on April 13, and encouraged Board members to come by to participate.
• Grants: Our application for the ICMA grant was not selected.
Shirley had helped the Friends draft a DRA grant application to establish a DVD collection of television series. Shirley had identified fifty top-rated series for purchase. Project cost would be $12,890.00, and the amount requested from the DRA was $9,495.00, with a $500 cash match from the Friends, and $2,895 from the Library in cash and in-kind, including $1,500 from the DVD budget line.
• Friends of the Library: Election of officers was scheduled for March 23.
Karen MOVED "Approval of the Agenda Consent items," which motion was seconded and CARRIED. Ayes: Boice, Brant, Bries, Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Schwendinger; Nays: None.
4. Finance Committee: The Board agreed that costs for recovery of the data from the server should be paid from the Maintenance line. Members then discussed areas in which to cut back, given that several expenses were exceeding projections and that income from the state was below projection. The consensus was that cutting back on staff hours, along with careful material purchasing, should be tried for the next month to see the affect. Closing on Sundays could be an option, especially in view of upcoming repair of water damage. Shirley will keep the Finance Committee apprised as to how this is working, and will inform the Personnel Committee of how she is trimming hours.
5. Personnel Committee: No report.
6. Furnishings Committee:
• Gutters: Shirley had obtained permission from architect Mike Tucker to go ahead with gutters that match the gutters already installed, and he had estimated the cost, including installation, to be $5,000-$7,000. Shirley will contact some local companies for quotes and will try to get the gutters installed quickly.
• Water damage: Brian Osterhaus had estimated $1,200 to repair current damage, and suggested that Sundays would be a good day for doing the work.
• Beth Bird artwork: Both pieces are ready for picking up and payment. The Board liked the idea of unveiling the works at the Anniversary Celebration.
7. Policy Committee: No report.
8. Strategic Planning: Dan reported that Shirley had conducted some planning activities with the staff, and Shirley had begun revising the current plan. Shirley and Dan will have a revised plan for the April meeting.
9. Marketing Committee:
Logo: Board members discussed the committee's proposed new logo and its varients. On behalf of the Committee, Brenda MOVED "Approval of the logo," which motion, after discussion, was CARRIED. Ayes: Boice, Brant, Bries, Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Schwendinger; Nays: None.
Wine Tasting Fundraiser: Brenda reported that the Commercial had worked up a nice advertisement, which could also be used in posters. She hoped to have tickets ready by the 20th, and she will contact a few businesses to sell them, so that this information can be included on the posters. The posters will also note the unveiling of the artwork.
11. Meetings and Training:
Upcoming: Amy Wilhelm will soon know if she will be in the next session of public library management training.
Shirley is planning to take two WIMBA sessions, including one on marketing.
Recently Attended: No report.
12. Teen Advisory Board: Shirley noted the energy and enthusiasm generated at the initial meeting.
13. Oral Presentations: The Board noted the Library's high national ranking from the very confusing Library Journal Star ranking.
13. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, at 6:45pm.
14. Joyce's motion to adjourn was seconded and CARRIED at 7:49pm. Ayes: Boice, Brant, Bries, Digmann, English, Heitzman, Ingles, Knepper, Schwendinger; Nays: None.
Daniel Boice, Secretary

It's not every day you see a pony in a lift – but then Alfie and Spot are not your everyday ponies.
The British Miniature Spotted Ponies, which are 36in or nine hands in height, are regular visitors to care homes, day centres, hospitals, hospices and centres for people with disabilities and special needs. They happily trot into communal lounges and go up in lifts to residents' rooms.
Alfie and Spot belong to Pat A Pony, a small charity providing therapeutic visits to people who are unable to get out and about.
The idea is that patting a pony offers benefits, such as sensory touch and relaxation, as well as prompting reminiscence.
Alfie and Spot are owned by Susan Dunne, who runs Pat A Pony. "A lot of people think they're Shetlands but they're an unusual breed, native to Britain, and vary in height from very small to nearly horse size," she said.
"They have a lovely nature and don't get fazed being around people. Their size and gentle nature make them ideal for the work we do, and their distinctive spots are a big attraction."
Susan had the idea for Pat A Pony – the only scheme of its kind in the country – while working in a nursing home.
"I'd heard of schemes like Pat Dogs, which takes dogs to care homes, and wondered if the same could be done with Alfie, as he was so friendly, quiet and still. The manager was open to the idea, as we'd had animals in before, so we brought him in. He was a great success – the residents loved him. When we took him inside he wasn't bothered at all."
Word filtered through, and other places started asking for visits from eight-year-old Alfie. Before long there were two pat ponies.
Susan had bought Alfie as a companion for her horse, then realised he wanted to be with one of his own size so she got Spot, now six.
The ponies, who are stabled at St Ives in Harden, have become local 'celebrities', making guest appearances at open days and on TV shows, such as Emmerdale.
They reached the final of last year's British Animal Honours, hosted by Paul O'Grady, winning a certificate for 'outstanding contribution' to animal therapy.
Alfie and Spot have appeared at care homes district-wide.
Festive appearances have included Keighley's Christmas lights switch-on.
The ponies even turned up in a pub, when Susan gave a talk about Pat A Pony at the Old Silent Inn at Stanbury.
"We get invited to all sorts of events," added Susan, who works with volunteers. "The ponies are a fantastic attraction – they're treated like film stars!
"Horses are easily spooked by noises, but these are calm, placid ponies, who take whatever comes. A few weeks ago we took them in a lift to the top floor of a care home and the fire alarm went off. They were the only ones not startled by it!
"They'll happily walk into buildings and along corridors. When they go into a room they know they're with people who are unwell, and they're gentle with them. Our criteria is visiting people who can't get out to see the ponies."
With their fluffy manes and pretty spots – Alfie's are black, Spot's are brown – you can't resist the urge to stroke these friendly ponies.
"The physical contact increases relaxation and well-being," said Susan. "Older people sometimes feel a bit redundant – they're the ones receiving all the care but their own instinct to care doesn't go away with age.
"Stroking a pony and giving them a treat makes their day."
The Pat A Pony scheme also plays a role in reminiscence.
Susan, who plans to set up reminiscence groups, added: "Coming into contact with the ponies stimulates memories.
"People in their 70s and 80s often grew up with horses and used to ride them."
When they're not making public appearances, Alfie and Spot relax in a field at St Ives.
"They're not domestic animals – they need to have time in the field just being ponies," Susan said. "Their breed was initially a wild woodland pony, and there aren't many in this country. Their spots are a camouflage in the forest.
"There are pat schemes with dogs, donkeys, chickens, reptiles and birds of prey, but not this breed of pony. They're very sociable and like to meet people, especially if there's a carrot involved!
"They're the right size for someone in a wheelchair to pat, and people with sight problems often manage to see their spots."
The ponies are bathed and groomed before each visit, and are each fitted with a specially-made 'bun bag' to catch any droppings!
Pat A Pony is trying to raise £1,500 for a field shelter for Spot and Alfie. Call 01535 690329 or 0771 8905036, visit patapony.com or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for details.

Chanticleers Earn Doubleheader Sweep of Liberty With 10-2 Win
Coastal Carolina totaled six runs over the last three innings, pulling away for a 10-2 win over Liberty to earn a doubleheader sweep of the Lady Flames, Saturday at CCU Softball Stadium.
The Chanticleers' record advances to 25-11, including 7-1 against Big South opponents. Liberty is now 6-30, with a 1-10 league mark following its third setback in a row.
Coastal's Ashley Bagwell (8-6) earned the complete-game win, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six and walking three.
Liberty starter Annah Jo Brittingham (2-18) sustained the setback after yielding three runs on two hits with one strikeout and two walks in one inning pitched. Alyssa DiMartino gave up four runs on seven hits in four innings of work, while Grace Nordan allowed three runs on two hits in 2/3 innings pitched.
Kory Hayden went 3-for-4 with a double, home run and three RBIs, while Amanda Daneker went 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs. Morgan Noad hit 3-for-3 with two runs scored.
For Liberty, Megan Robinson batted 2-for-3 with a double, home run and two RBIs. DiMartino, Blair Lawrence and Katie Han all posted one single, with Lawrence stealing her 10th base of the season.
Robinson doubled with one out in the top of the first, and Allen hit a drive to the wall in center, which Donovan caught for the second out. Bagwell struck out Nichols for the third out.
Coastal put three runs on the scoreboard during its first time at bat. Chiusano drew a leadoff walk, and stole second. Noad later hit a two-out RBI single, and Daneker followed with a two-run blast down the left field line. Brittingham fanned Jessie Winans, sending the game to the second with a 3-0 score.
Bagwell and Liberty reliever DiMartino traded 1-2-3 innings in the second frame.
Liberty trimmed the deficit to 3-2 with two third-inning tallies. Lawrence walked with one out, and after a Katie Zavodny strikeout, Robinson hit her team-best seventh homer of the season, narrowing the gap to one run.
Hayden hit a solo shot with one out in the third, extending the lead to 4-2. Noad and Daneker followed with consecutive singles, before a flyout and groundout ended the inning.
The Chanticleers doubled their total score to eight by scoring four times in the bottom of the fourth. Hayden hit a two-run, ground-rule double with one out off of relief pitcher Nordan, good for a 6-2 edge. A pair of bases-loaded walks pushed the score to 8-2, before DiMartino re-entered the circle and got Rasley to ground to third for the third out.
The Lady Flames loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth, as Han walked, followed by consecutive singles from DiMartino and Lawrence. Bagwell escaped unscathed, striking out the next two batters and getting Kelby Allen to ground into a fielder's choice.
Liberty staged a two-out rally during the top of the sixth, as Sciolino walked and Han singled to center. DiMartino then popped out to her counterpart Bagwell, ending the threat.
Coastal Carolina scored twice in the bottom of the sixth, ending the game via run rule, 10-2, when Sara Rasley hit a sacrifice fly to score Coastal's 10th run of the contest.
The Lady Flames and Chanticleers will wrap up this weekend's series tomorrow, with a single game beginning at 1 p.m. at CCU Softball Stadium.

Setting Up a Health Insurance Exchange
With so much uncertainty currently plaguing the Affordable Care Act, it's been difficult so far to fully grasp how the federal legislation will affect Georgia families. By November 16, however, state officials will need to inform the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services whether Georgia plans to establish its own health insurance exchange, a decision that will at last offer some clarity about the ACA's implementation.
If the state opts to set up its own exchange, it will pre-approve health care plans that cover the medical expenses that ACA requires, set up a website to share information about insurance plans, and employ a staff to help health care consumers as they shop for insurance. With this support, consumers will be able to compare insurance policies and enroll in coverage online, in person, by phone, fax or mail.
While the fate of ACA remains unclear in these months leading up to the presidential election, the state's decision yea or nay to set up its own exchange will play a significant role in which health insurance plans consumers get access to and ultimately select for their medical coverage.
To learn more about the ACA and state-run health care exchanges, read the Senate Research Office's At Issue: State Roles in Implementing Health Insurance Exchanges, or visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Did you know?
The Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park hosts the world-famous Otter Trail.
Storms River is one of the best snorkelling and diving spots in a country that is home to many beautiful and species-rich marine locations.
At Storms River, situated on the Garden Route, you'll not only discover ancient forests, mountain and coastal fynbos, hundreds of birds, interesting small mammals and spectacular scenery, but also a fascinating 80km coastline bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
The Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park is the perfect place to stay for your snorkelling or diving expeditions. Because this is a protected marine area, free from all commercial exploitation, the river, sea and reefs teem with marine life.
One of the major bonuses of snorkelling or diving at Storms River is that you can choose between salt or fresh water – or try both.
The Storms River mouth, with its dramatic scenery, but more importantly for the would-be diver, its bay, ringed by rocky reefs, is perfect for a river or shore dive. Sharks such as Raggedtooth and small hound sharks are almost always on the diving menu so have your underwater camera ready.
Because the reefs are brightly lit you could spot up to 50 different species of fish including blacktail, zebra, red roman and musselcracker. Many fish are endemic to this area and can be found nowhere else in the world. Also on show are vibrantly coloured sponges, anemones, sea urchins and ascidians.
Not a diver but would also like to discover this rich underwater world? Then go snorkelling. It's affordable, easy to do (kids love it) and just drifting along watching the underwater world pass by beneath the surface will keep you entranced for hours.

I am beginning python and trying to convert one of my simple C++ programs to see the differences in the languages. I am a bit stuck on the following function which is part of my original program:
- Code: Select all
bool sumOfPrimeFactorsIsPrime(int number) //works out if a number is prime or not, returns true or false accordingly
//divide each test number from isPrime(i) by up-to-or-equal the square root to find prime
for (int i = 2; i <= sqrt(number); i++)
if (number % i == 0)
return false;
return true;
- Code: Select all
def sum_of_prime_factors_is_prime(number):
for i in range(2, math.sqrt(number)):
if (number % i == 0):
return False
return True
I'm not 100% the above python is correct. My biggest concern is translating the i <= sqrt(number). My range in the python script here does not do that by the looks of it.
- Code: Select all
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
would become
- Code: Select all
for i in range(0,5)
but what would:
- Code: Select all
for (int i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
If it helps, this is the program so far:
- Code: Select all
import math
def get_sum_of_prime_factors(number):
x = 2
sum_of_prime_factors = 0
while True:
if (number % x == 0):
number = number / x
sum_of_prime_factors += x
x += 1
if (x <= number):
def sum_of_prime_factors_is_prime(number):
for i in range(2, math.sqrt(number)):
if (number % i == 0):
return False
return True
for i in range(1, 1001):
if (sum_of_prime_factors_is_prime(get_sum_of_prime_factors(i))):
print "{} has prime factors that add together to equal a prime number".format(i)
print "The sum of prime factors are {}".format(get_sum_of_prime_factors(i))
Right now, nothing happens when I run it. No errors, no output. Trying to see where I've gone wrong without too much success. Any hints as to solving this are greatly appreciated.

Sweert is what you say when you've found a situation really sweet, but it's not a common situation, it's something, well magical. It can't be something like, "oh shit man you got a new car, " or "dude, you hit that blond last night?" It's something more than that, just look at the example.
James was walking in a park when he saw a giraffe with an unusually small neck, so he asked the giraffe, "why is your neck so small?" the giraffe replied "come here son" and so James went up to the giraffe and the giraffe spread its legs and dropped its head clunking James on the head. "ouch" James later told his friends the story and they said it was Sweert.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/12/2012 (1701 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The punctuation mark on our family Christmas always came right after we opened the last present. That's it, our dad would proclaim. It's over for another year, he'd say, as if he'd timed it with a stopwatch.
All that planning and preparation, he'd say with private amazement, over in a brief flurry of crumpling and tearing Christmas wrap. His proclamations were always like hitting the nadir in the manic-depressive cycle. Two months of running around. Now, just a feeling of nothingness. Then our dad would tell the story about the time he got a single toy car for Christmas and broke it before lunchtime.
He was partly kidding, but there is a morbid streak in our family. My dad said my oma used to sit around the kitchen table talking about death. She'd had a hard life. Death hung around the back door in the shade of the eaves. My grandparents had lost family members prematurely back in Russia, some violently, and would never again see surviving loved ones they'd left behind.
The worst present I ever got was from that oma. I was five or six years old. I was aghast at the gift waiting for me under the Christmas tree at my oma and opa's house. It wasn't wrapped because it was too big. It was a little kid's wicker rocking chair. It had a blue plastic seat cushion. I looked around the Christmas tree, figuring there had to be something more. I was like, No, seriously, where's my present? That's it, that rocking chair.
My cousin, who was the same age, loved his rocking chair and went tossing back and forth in his. I just cried. A rocking chair? What was I supposed to do with a rocking chair?
I wouldn't touch it. I never did touch it. I never sat in that rocking chair and I was never tempted to sit in it. (Except once, as a teenager, and it was a sort of dawn of irony in my life.) It lay around in my parents basement for ages. I didn't avoid it. I just didn't see it. It was dead to me.
You might think I felt badly about how I'd reacted later, but I never did. My oma on the Redekop side was a tough woman. Her reaction to me would have been something like, Suck it up, Buttercup, or its German equivalent.
She was the oldest in her family and wanted to be a doctor, but the Russian Revolution removed any chance of that. My grandparents arrived as refugees in the late 1920s with a young family, including my dad, and settled on Hawthorne Avenue in North Kildonan. One story my dad told was the time my oma got a hamper at Christmas. She had a reaction a bit like mine to the rocking chair: What's this? She was stunned. Mortified, would be a good word, somewhere between horrified and humiliated. The family was poor but no different than other Mennonite immigrants on the street. That someone considered them an object of charity made her ashamed.
The well-wishers had to fight to get the hamper in the door. When they did, my oma wouldn't let anyone open it. Her six kids begged and begged. "Not for us, not for us," she told them in German. But after a day of this, she finally relented.
Delivering hampers can be tricky. Someone I know once delivered a hamper to a former classmate from school. Talk about awkward.
The last thing I want to do is make anyone think twice about giving hampers or other types of charity. I've delivered Christmas hampers, although not for years, and it's a good feeling. You go to prescribed house numbers handing out bags that include a frozen turkey and a toy for each child. The kids are all excited while the single mom is shushing them.
But it's funny what sticks in your memory. You're only standing in someone's doorway momentarily, but sometimes the adult who takes the hamper becomes eerily quiet. Sometimes no words exchange at all. I remember being with someone who, walking away, remarked how 'They didn't even say thanks.' To me, saying thanks is easy. Not saying thanks is hard.
That's what I remember about handing out hampers, how quiet it made some people. More tact is required of the giver than the receiver, I learned. For many, like my oma, it may very well be the worst present they ever receive.

Last week's Braggin' Rights game notwithstanding, fans of the Fighting Illini know a thing or two about choking.
In basketball, no team has more NCAA tournament wins (40) without ever winning a national title. The last time the football team won a bowl game on New Year's Day, Jeff George was considered a promising future star in the NFL.
Normally though, it's the players that choke during the big performance, not a fan choking before the big performance has even begun.
But that's exactly what happened to 86 year-old Johnny Orris, a lifelong Fighting Illini fan, and winner of a Howard Stern radio show contest called, "I Want to Get My Grandpa Laid."
You see, Orris (center above), won a threesome at a legal brothel in Nevada with these two working girls, Caressa Kisses and Vanity (your guess is as good as mine). According to reports, on the eventful night, Orris was in such a hurry to claim his prize that he choked on his steak dinner and died.
Rest in peace, Johnny. You came closer to a threesome than most sports bloggers ever will. No idea what was inscribed on your tombstone, but here's a reasonable guess:

Goals remain in place for Gators
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 10:55 p.m.
Contrary to popular (and negative) belief, Florida's season did not end last Saturday in Miami. The loss to the Hurricanes, as disheartening and frustrating as it may have been, does not change anything, really.
This is a Florida team that's probably not quite ready to embrace national championship aspirations. But its goal of winning the SEC East and advancing to Atlanta is still very much attainable.
In fact, the Gators' prospects may look even more promising than they did two weeks ago. After watching the other contenders in the East (Georgia and South Carolina) the past two weeks, it's very evident that UF can compete with those schools. UF appears to be much stronger on defense than UGA and USC, and defense still wins championships in the SEC.
Given that, the reality is the Gators' season didn't end last week. It begins this week with the opening of SEC play against Tennessee.
Here are five things the Gators can take away from the Miami game that might help them make a serious run at Atlanta:
1. Take care of your quarterback
Being the competitor that he is, Jeff Driskel will be hard on himself for his three-turnover performance and get to work correcting his mistakes. One of the keys here is making sure his confidence doesn't wane. His coaches and teammates need to let him know he's their leader, he's their quarterback and they trust him running the offense. That message can be sent more clearly by actions than just mere words. Driskel needs his confidence to remain intact. Because a quarterback lacking confidence cannot lead (to Atlanta or anywhere else good).
2. Get healthy on the O-line
The Gators found themselves in bad shape up front in the fourth quarter last week when both starting tackles (D.J. Humphries and Tyler Moore) left with injuries. UF coach Will Muschamp said both are expected to return next week, along with starting guard Jon Halapio, who missed all of camp and the first two games with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The depth UF thought it was going to have coming into the season is no longer there. The Gators need to get healthy and stay healthy on the offensive line. If that happens, the line still has a chance to be a strength. If more injuries hit, the offense is really going to struggle against the challenges that lie ahead (UT, LSU, Georgia, South Carolina).
3. Take care of TOs, red zone
The bottom line is the Gators will have no shot to win the East if they don't take better care of the football and become much more productive in the red zone. The red-zone turnovers were killers in the UM loss. Had UF kicked field goals on first down on those failed red-zone trips, the Gators would have won the game. Driskel, especially, needs to be more aware of the pass rush (and when to throw the ball away or tuck it and run) and needs to break the habit of trying to force passes into coverage. Poor ball security led to UF's only loss in the regular season a year ago. The same thing cost them the game in Miami. If they take care of the ball and score points in the red zone (field goals would be fine), this team will have a chance in every game the rest of the way.
4. Kill the 'Cat
Miami coach Al Golden told the ESPN announcers before last Saturday's game that the 'Canes knew when Trey Burton lined up at quarterback in the Wildcat formation he was no threat to throw the ball. So, Golden instructed all 11 players to attack the football when Burton lined up in the shotgun. Sure enough, on a first-and-goal from the seven-yard line in the first half, Burton took the snap and was immediately swarmed in the backfield for a four-yard loss. It was a wasted down (and wasted yards) for an offense that cannot afford to do that, especially in the red zone. If the Gators intend to keep the Wildcat in the offensive package, they need to let Burton throw a pass to just show the threat is there. If not, SEC teams will catch on just like UM did and create negative plays. If the coaches are afraid to let Burton throw the ball, then maybe killing the 'Cat is the way to go.
5. Start faster on defense
While many wanted to praise UF's defensive effort in the Miami game, Muschamp was quick to point out that the early mistakes on defense set the wrong early tone and gave Miami momentum that it carried throughout the game. Had the defense opened the game with the same kind of effort and performance it exhibited over the final three quarters, the Hurricanes would not have jumped out in front and the Gators likely would have won the game. That should be a lesson learned. Knowing that the offense continues to struggle with consistency, the defense has to have the mentality to establish dominance early and make some big plays that could put the offense in a favorable position to gain some first-quarter momentum.
