Jesus, 6th?
I need to go back and relisten to this.
Nifty first review and welcome to the site, Shredzilla.
You've got a few editing problems within your review, I'd suggest a quick re-read (at least to add some paragraph breaks... for the viewer's convenience).
I'm not the biggest fan of the track-by-track format, but since this is your first, no worries. You do a pretty good job of describing each track anyhow.
Album Rating: 5.0this album is so amazing
Album Rating: 4.0I prefer Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries over this but a great album nonthelessThis Message Edited On 12.09.08
holy shit wall of text
I'm hoping to one day see a negative Opeth review, just for the sake of actually reading one.
Album Rating: 5.0somebody needs to use the tab button
Album Rating: 5.0You start with "Opeth never eases to amaze me"
Should this not be 'ceases' ?
Also, in your final paragraph you state, "this is Opeth at there best" , should be 'their'. Just a few grammatical and spelling errors that need to be fixed.This Message Edited On 12.09.08
I also agree, Opeth's peak.This Message Edited On 12.09.08
There needs to be some Opeth hate, to balance it out, and so that people can write hillarious responses to hater-posts
Album Rating: 4.4I could definitely write a negative review of their new album, and an "unfavorable" review of Deliverance.
Please do
Album Rating: 5.0Whilst i agree it is good to have balance, another Watershed review is the last thing this site needs....
I'm hoping to one day see a negative Opeth review, just for the sake of actually reading one.

Quincy dancers to perform at Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade
Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:39:57 GMT —
You might catch some Quincy dancers on your television screen if you plan to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Eight high school students with the Vancil Performing Arts Center will perform at the annual event.
They leave this Saturday and will be instructed on a new dance to perform in addition to the one you see now.
KHQA asked, "What are you looking forward to?"
Dancer Shyanne Kiefaber answered, "Probably taking lessons from the Broadway Dance Center and probably shopping. We're super psyched."
You can catch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade right here on KHQA on Thanksgiving morning.

Free Energy Methods for Efficient Exploration of Mixture Posterior Densities
Because of their multimodality, mixture posterior densities are difficult to sample withstandard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. We propose a strategy to enhancethe sampling of MCMC in this context, using a biasing procedure which originates fromcomputational statistical physics. The principle is first to choose a "reaction coordinate",that is, a direction in which the target density is multimodal. In a second step, the marginallog-density of the reaction coordinate is estimated; this quantity is called "free energy" inthe computational statistical physics literature. To this end, we use adaptive biasing Markovchain algorithms which adapt their invariant distribution on the fly, in order to overcomesampling barriers along the chosen reaction coordinate. Finally, we perform an importancesampling step in order to remove the bias and recover the true posterior. The efficiency factorcan easily be estimated a priori once the bias is known, and is large enough for the test caseswe considered.A crucial point is the choice of the reaction coordinate. One standard choice (used forexample in the classical Wang-Landau algorithm) is the opposite of the log-posterior density.We show that another convenient and efficient reaction coordinate is the hyper-parameterthat determines the order of magnitude of the variance of each component. We also showhow to adapt the method to perform model choice between different number of components.We illustrate our approach by analyzing two real data sets.

Simeone rules out Casillas move
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has denied the Spanish side will make a move for Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Casillas has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu as he struggles to regain his spot in the Real line-up ahead of Diego Lopez.
Carlo Ancelotti has opted for Lopez in Los Blancos' opening two games of the season and it is believed Casillas has been advised to search for regular football ahead of next year's World Cup.
Atletico's current number one Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan at the club from Chelsea, was awarded the La Liga goalkeeper of the year last season and Simeone is not eager to replace the Belgian.
"Courtois is our goalie," he said. "And we have two other goalkeepers waiting for their chance. So no, we wouldn't be interested in Iker Casillas."
Meanwhile, Simeone admits he would rather Lionel Messi and Neymar be available for the second leg of Atletico's Spanish Super Cup clash with Barcelona than to beat the La Liga champions without their stars.
"I hope Messi and Neymar play because that would be a terrific show especially for all of those who will see the match on TV being relaxed in their living room," Simeone added.
"I think it is best that the best players play. Barcelona have a lot of choices, it will be up to their manager to decide who plays."

Is it a placeholder price, or simply a great deal?
A new listing for a 500GB version of the Xbox 360 media drive has appeared on the Xbox website priced at $109.99 USD, and although pre-orders are currently not live, it does cost twenty bucks less than the 320GB version on offer.
If you regularly take advantage of the "Games for Gold" offers, then a boost in hard drive storage space is never to be balked at.
So if you're still rocking a Xbox 360, and are running out of hard drive space, you may want to bookmark the page and keep an eye out for when pre orders open.
Hopefully the price is not a typo.

Sassy Cow Creamery, the little creamery that could, celebrates its five-year anniversary this month of producing on-farm bottled milk and old-fashioned ice cream for a growing consumer base demanding not only to know where their food comes from, but also the first name of their farmer.
In this case, those first names are James and Robert, third generation dairy farmers who own two dairy farms, and in 2008, built a farmstead creamery in the middle. The Baerwolf brothers, along with their wives (both named Jenny), their growing number of children, and the amazing Sassy Cow sales/marketing guru Kara Kasten-Olson, a former farm girl herself, are a team that freely admits they had no idea what they were doing when they started.
Until Kasten-Olson and the Baerwolfs came knocking on the doors of Wisconsin grocery stores five years ago with gallons and half gallons of both organic and traditional milk, only the big boys like Dean and Golden Guernsey had a presence in the retail milk cooler. Kasten-Olson and the Baerwolfs worked beyond overtime the first couple of years to fight a milk mafia uninterested in a local farmer just to get their product placed alongside the conventional commodity jugs of milk.
Metcalfe's Market at Hilldale Shopping Center was the first grocery store in Madison to carry Sassy Cow products. In an interview with today's Wisconsin State Journal, Store Director Jim Meier says Sassy Cow organic milk is now tied with Organic Valley for the top-selling organic milk at Metcalfe's, and Sassy's traditional milk is second only behind Metcalfe's private label.
"We see customers put other products down and pick this one up because it's right down the road. People are willing to spend a bit extra to support the local economy," Meier said.
Five years ago, when Sassy Cow Creamery celebrated its grand opening, it did so with lots of formal speeches from a variety of state and local officials, including Alice in Dairyland. The above photo was taken that day in front of a crowd of about 100 people. The same people in that photo are the same people running Sassy Cow Creamery today. You can meet them this Saturday at an Anniversary Open House from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., complete with tours, games, product samples and wagon rides.
Sassy Cow Creamery is located at W4192 Bristol Rd., Columbus, Wis. From Hwy 151, take the Bristol Rd. (Hwy N) Exit. Head North on Hwy N and travel seven miles. Look for the big red barn on your left, and be sure to say hello to Robert, James, the Jennys, Kara and the crew. Congratulate them for a job well done.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Matt Kenseth and his wife Katie Kenseth have created a series of books that are geared toward discussing how to handle challenges that children will face, in order to encourage family reading.
The first book, "Matt Kenseth's Race Against Bullying" sees a 9-year-old Matt get confronted by a bully at his school. He turns to his parents and friends for help in dealing with the bully and with their advice and help, he is able to discover a variety of ways to successfully deal with bullies in his life.
"As a parent of three small children, it's natural to worry about the issues they will face while growing up," Matt Kenseth said in a release. "Both Katie and I believe that openly talking about these issues is the best way to prepare them. This book is designed to help families discuss the effects of bullying with their kids. We believe it's important our kids not only know how to deal with a bully, but also understand that it's not OK to act like one."
The books are targeted to help with literacy for children ages 4 through 8 as well as to encourage self-confidence in children by discussing relevant issues in their lives.
"Matt Kenseth's Race Against Bullying" is available exclusively at Dollar General and DollarGeneral.com.
To launch the book series, the Kenseths read the story to a group of second grade students from Grand Oak Elementary at Joe Gibbs Racing headquarters in Huntersville, North Carolina as part of National Youth Literacy Day, which was Tuesday.
Below is a look at the cover of the book as well images from the reading at JGR headquarters.

After posting that list of all the Halloween food projects I had been keeping in my bookmarks, I couldn't resist trying one out. However, I made this decision as Halloween was fast approaching, leaving me with very little time for elaborate sugar cookies or and major confections. This, and the opportunity to fit as much candy in my mouth as possible lead me to try out Halloween Chocolate Bark. Taking inspiration from all the yummy recipe variations I've been seeing around the internet, I put together a version of chocolate bark absolutely filled to the brim with some of my most favorite candies as well as a few surprises (like pretzels—what were they doing on the Halloween aisle??).
Plus, as a super duper special bonus to this already delicious pile of sugar, I decided to take my normal photographic efforts and turn them into another YouTube video! As much as I was ready to take plentiful photos of sprinkling candy and luscious ribbons of melted chocolate, something told me they would look even better in real life, rather than just a pretty picture. So, here it is! Just in time to help you use up all that leftover Halloween candy—Halloween Chocolate Bark.
We've got the English version…
As well as a version in Spanish!
Oh, I also forgot to mention that I managed to turn 22 a few weeks ago! With a nice, quiet birthday at home, I think my favorite part was actually my birthday flowers. They've got these amazing light and dark pink ribbons on the petals. Look how cool they are!
Well, I hope you guys had a great Halloween! Let me know how it went!
Halloween Chocolate Bark
A La Kocinera Original Recipe
Printable Recipe
Receta en Español
1/3 cup roughly chopped mini Twix bars (about 3)
1/3 cup roughly chopped mini Butterfinger bars (about 3)
1/3 cups roughly chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (about 4)
1/3 cup chopped pretzels
1/4 cup M&Ms
12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (it's best to use bar chocolate, like Ghirardelli)
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
After chopping all the candies and setting them aside, line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper (or wax paper, nonstick aluminum foil, etc.), set aside.
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a medium-sized microwaveable bowl. Microwave at 50% power 25 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is almost entirely melted (if there are still a few unmelted pieces just stir it a bit until they melt).
Once the dark chocolate is melted, immediately pour it onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin, even layer with a spatula. While the chocolate is still melted and liquid-y, sprinkle the candies and pretzels all over the surface, gently pressing them into the chocolate to set.
Finally, place the chopped white chocolate in a small, microwaveable bowl and heat at 50% power in 25-second intervals until melted, stirring between each interval. Once the white chocolate is melted, take small spoonfuls of chocolate and drizzle them on top of the chocolate bark to taste. You may not use all the white chocolate--just dip any sort of candy, pretzel, etc. in the leftovers for another yummy treat.
Once the chocolate bark is complete, place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set. After an hour, break it up and serve immediately or repackage it and keep it in the refrigerator for a few days.

MongoDB is an open source database that is very scalable and high performing, and is fast becoming one of the more popular NoSql implementations. It uses a data format known as BSON, which is syntactically similar JSON but is saved in binary form for speed; is schema free, meaning that documents belonging to the same store need not necessarily have the same structure; and can store dates, object ids, binary data, regular expressions and code as well as the basic JSON types of string, integer, boolean, double, null, array and object.
Installing Mongo is really simple:
- create a mongo file (not necessary but tidy) [mkdir /mongo]
- pull mongo [curl http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-{{VERSION}}.tgz > mongo.tgz]
- extract [tar xzf mongo.tgz]
- create data file [mkdir -p /data/db/]
- install [chown
id -u/data/db]
Next install mongodb-php:
- install dev tools (if necessary) [yum groupinstall "Developer Tools"]
- check whether pecl needs upgrading (it did for me) and check mongo package available [pecl search mongo]
- install [pecl install mongo] (if any problems, try creating mongo directory in /tmp)
- restart apache [apachectl graceful]
If you're anything like me, you'll prefer a half-decent administration ui over the command line. I originally looked at phpMoAdmin, but for whatever reason it would die, giving me an HTTP 500 error when it did so but with no further guidance, every other time I accessed it (including navigating from page to page…). Even when it did work it looked awful and didn't seem very friendly, so I gave up on that and installed RockMongo.
RockMongo was super simple to install – just a matter of cloning the respository onto the root of my server – and tweak the config if necessary (for me the defaults worked fine). The only problem that I had was that I couldn't work out how to change the default username/password from admin/admin. It's really easy though, was probably more to do with me being tired than it being complicated: simply change the line
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["control_users"]["admin"] = "admin";
$MONGO["servers"][$i]["control_users"][{{username}}] = {{password}};
in the config.php

The New Yorker, February 21, 1994 P. 48
POPULAR CHRONICLES about Tonya Harding's hometown environs, Clackamas County, Oregon. Tells about her practice rink, which is in the Clackamas Town Center mall there. Writer visits the Tonya Harding fan club and describes their meeting, which included admiring descriptions of Tonya as "tough" and a "stud" and put-downs of Kristi Yamaguchi as "prissy." Writer describes the area, which is about a half hour's drive from Portland. "Scum," the nail woman at the fan club meeting snapped. "That's what they call us. It's a class difference--that's what all this mess is about Tonya. She's just a regular Clackamas County girl. In my opinion, she's a modern gal, what we would call a tomboy. She can hunt, she can fix a car. She calls herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating and she's right. She's a stud." Writer learns about the origin of the name Tonya from All About Names, a business set up on a rolling cart in the mall.

The Upstater: A Guest House of One's Own
We're not being greedy, but over at Upstater we have a special interest in properties with guest houses, the old two-for-one (or sometimes three- or four-for-one). This is partly because it's one way to help cover the mortgage on an upstate New York vacation property (more on how to do that here), but it's also because they're so darn cute.
Take 49 Lafayette Street in Coxsackie, NY.
We dubbed this second empire Victorian a Secret Garden-esque getaway, with seven beds, three baths and over 4,000 square feet — a lot of house for the money (even though $599,000 is a lot of money for Coxsackie properties).
The house has a gorgeous curved staircase, hot tub, remodeled kitchen with all the name-brand appliances… and both a two-story barn/studio and an unfinished guest cottage. It's on 3.75 acres right close to the Hudson.
49 Lafayette Street, Coxsackie. $599,000. GMAP
This pad doesn't exactly have a guest cottage — it's a house that comes with a church — but it's one of our favorite properties. The Cottekill house has drop-dead gorgeous interiors, beautiful hand-crafted wooden details.
The church that comes with it has been used as a pottery studio and also as a kind of community center, holding craft sales and such inside. The church is 1,000 square feet and the house is 1,900 square feet, and they're attached by a breezeway. We'd love it if it had more land (there's less than an acre) and if it were on more of a country lane, but those things can be forgiven in exchange for what you get for less than $350,000.
Cottekill Church. $349,000. GMAP.
21 Balace Road in Sundown, NY is plenty spectacular without the guest house.
108 acres, mountain views, chef's kitchen, lovely porches, beamed ceilings: it's all there, plus a spring-fed, swimmable pond.
But it also has an adorable guest house and attached barn.
21 Balace Road, Sundown, NY. $1.35 million. GMAP.
356 Ashokan Road in Kingston has plenty ro recommend it, including the price: $385,000.
It's on a pretty, winding road close to desirable towns like Stone Ridge and Rosendale. This Catskills contemporary, built by its current owner, has central air, 5.5 acres, a first-floor studio… and the guest cottage behind it.
356 Ashokan Road, Kingston. $365,000. GMAP.

JOSEPH Kony is not the only tyrant the International Criminal Court hopes to bring to justice but his sudden infamy has done wonders to boost its profile, says a Melbourne academic working on the case.
Melbourne University law professor Tim McCormack is one of four special advisers to Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the Argentinian prosecutor of the court, in its pursuit of Kony.
The leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, which has since 1987 abducted an estimated 30,000 Ugandan children for use as soldiers, and four of his lieutenants became the first war criminals to be indicted by the Hague-based court in May 2005.
They have yet to be brought to justice, but the social media movement orchestrated by the US-based advocacy group Invisible Children aims to change that through its video Kony 2012, which has been watched about 74 million times on YouTube in the past week.
''The ICC is not just about Joseph Kony, though you could be forgiven for thinking it was,'' says Professor McCormack.
''This campaign has been spectacularly successful in raising awareness of the ICC as an institution and of the Kony case … But whether it succeeds in its stated objective - to have Kony arrested by December 31 - remains to be seen.''
Professor McCormack is well aware international law does not always run to such a swift timetable. He has been advising the court for two years; next Wednesday, it will hand down its first judgment, against the Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga. Six other cases are pending.
While depleted and defeated in its attempt to overthrow the Ugandan government, the LRA is far from irrelevant in the eyes of the ICC. ''The damage that's been caused by the LRA over 20 years has left its mark, and the ICC has the opportunity to challenge the idea of impunity for those atrocities,'' Professor McCormack says.

I have small features, and a small nose; small nostrils, and the bridge is straight. But the tip is wide and flat and from straight on, my nose looks like a "U." I could balance a coin on the tip of my nose even! :) I have not seen another nose like mine, but wondering what options I might have to refine the tip, thin it out some, and maybe shorten it a tad and give it some shape. I am very open to suggestions, and seriously considering surgery with the right doc. Opinions and comments welcome!
Small Nose but Wide Flat Tip Rhinoplasty Options? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Your Rhinoplasty Need Not Be as Complicated as You Think
Greetings, Jana.
The anatomy of your nose is not that uncommon. Have operated on many with the same imperfect cartilage structure.
The main activity is refining the tip cartilage and making it hormonious with the upper portion of your nose which is pretty satisfactory. Not as complicated a case as you might think.
Your situation is one where the entire nose does not need to be operated, just the lower half. That is a good scenario: less swelling and bruising which translates to faster recovery. d
Pleased to be of advice to our friends in Tucson, a great place to live.

Rhinoplasty option for small wide flat tip nose
The flat nose tip is due to the more vertically shaped lower lateral cartilages that can be addressed removing a portion of the cephalic part. Dome binding sutures then bring the tip cartilages together to refine, narrow, and give more definition to the nasal tip itself. It is also important to make sure that the tip of the nose is balanced with the nasal bridge and any dorsal irregularities are addressed. Osteotomies will narrow the midthird of the nose. This can all be done through a closed rhinoplasty technique under general anesthesia.

Small Nose but Wide Flat Tip Rhinoplasty Options?
I have performed Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and from your photos, IMHO, this is a very difficult Rhinoplasty case for the following reasons:
- The nasal tip is wide and boxy with very prominent tip cartilages.
- The skin, of the nose is quite thick as seen on the base view.
- The mid and upper sections, of the nose are aslso wide.
- The base, of the cilumella has a slight hanging component that would need to be tucked.
IMHO, to address all of these issue making the entire nose (not just the tip) smaller and more shapely would require an Open Rhinoplasty with resection of the tip crtilages as well as osteotomies to thin the nasal bones.

Rhinoplasty Techniques for the Wide, Flat Tip
The wide, flat tip you have is not rare but it is challenging to change the contour of your cartilages. Simple removal of the excess will not solve the problem. Usually it is necessary to reorient the cartilages and place small grafts to support the nose and improve nostril shape while improving and maintaining breathing function and making your tip proportional to the the upper part of your nose. The experience of your surgeon is critical.
Suggestions to improve my nose
In the approach to rhinoplasty, your presenting anatomy is important, the specific features you wish to change and how you wish to change them, your internal examination, skin thickness, previous injury and/or surgery, and detailed external examination, including feeling the nasal bones and cartilages. Although your pictures are helpful, they are all at angles that don't conform to professional photographic standards for plastic surgery.
Even in 2011, with broadband and the capability to communicate in real time with many highly qualified plastic surgeons from around the world, your best option to understand what can realistically be accomplished for you is personal consultation.

What can be done for my nose?
These concerns are common for patients just beginning to explore the rhinoplasty option. Your tip cartilages are flat, boxy and cephalically oriented. This can be markedly improved with a combination of conservative resection, and aggressive tip shaping and reorientation with suture techniques. Good luck.

Small nose but wide flat tip rhinoplasty options
Jana B,
Your nose has the type of variation that we refer to as a parentheses deformity. The lower lateral tip cartilage that should project lower and more laterally, sweep superiorly to give your nose that U shape you see...or the apparence of a parentheses. This is a common issue that can be absolutely corrected to give your nose more definition and shape. By reorienting the cartilage I would also be able to support your nostrils to give you a better airway and ability to breathe in the long term. Meticulous rearrangement and refinement of your nose will create a lovely result as you already have structure that is close to ideal from a profile standpoint. Primarily your surgery would be an artistic reshaping of the cartilage structure of your nose. Hope that helps! Dr. Shep

Rhinoplasty for the wide, flat tip.
Rhinoplasty for a wide and flat tip
The width and shape of the tip can be determined by skin thickness, and by the shape and strength of the cartilages underneath. Rhinoplasty has the flexibility to address both, and your surgeon should be able to sort out necessary changes during your consultation.
Best of luck,

I sense tip-plasty in your future. Thinning your tip depends a lot on the thickness of the skin. Rotatng your tip superiorly will imorove you lip tip angle and hepl reoreint the lateral crus.

text: Energy Information Administration, November 7, 2006 – Short-Term Energy Outlook November 2006: "In response to rising oil inventories and declining world oil prices, OPEC announced that it would cut its oil production by 1.2 million bbl/d effective November 1, 2006. This production cut differs from previous ones in that the stated intent is to reduce production from actual output levels, not just from OPEC production quotas. Although OPEC announced the target reductions each country is supposed to make, it did not specify the production level that each country is to use as the starting point for making its cuts. The absence of a benchmark contributes to the uncertainty over the amount by which each OPEC member will cut its production."

Wizards' Butler Performs Like an All-Star
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Caron Butler has been good all season, but on Sunday he was great. The two-time all-star helped snap a three-game losing streak by scoring Washington's final 15 points and making a game-winning jumper to wrap up a sorely needed 119-117 win over Indiana.
That Butler hasn't appeared much this season and it's one of the reasons why he, along with Antawn Jamison, was passed over as a reserve for the Eastern Conference all-star squad.
The Wizards (11-40) have won consecutive games only once all season and own the fewest wins in the league along with the Sacramento Kings, a team that also does not have an all-star representative.
"Like I've said, I know I'm an all-star," said Butler, who has scored 30 or more points eight times this season, which is already a career high for the seventh-year forward. "Obviously, the record don't prove that and that's why we're in the position we're in, myself and Antawn. But we're going to continue to perform as all-stars and lead this team."
Sunday's game was illustrative of just how thin a margin interim coach Ed Tapscott and his coaching staff is working with.
Butler scored a season-high 35 points and Jamison added a season-high 34, yet the Wizards had to squeeze out a last-second home win over a Pacers team that is 13 games under .500.
Apart from Butler's late-game heroics and Jamison's big scoring effort, the keys to the win were getting 20 points from second-year guard Nick Young and playing good enough team defense to get a few crucial stops down the stretch.
Those two things, having a third scorer and defense in crucial situations, have been absent for much of the season as Tapscott has leaned on a playing rotation that includes career role players who have been cast into prominent roles (Mike James and Darius Songaila) and inexperienced players who are learning as they go (Young, Dominic McGuire, Javaris Crittenton and rookie JaVale McGee).
"It's a lot easier when you have some balance on the floor," Tapscott said. "If you think about it, Antawn represents our best inside threat, Caron is our best mid-range guy and Nick is our deepest shooter. For whatever reason, [Sunday] we had that balance. That's what we're striving to get. But again, consistency of performance is easier for vets like Caron and Antawn and we're searching for those young guys to bring something. And they're coming. As we've said, there is no substitute for experience and that will come over time."
Blatche Update
Forward-center Andray Blatche, who has missed seven straight games with a left knee strain, showed up hoping to play Sunday. He suited up but was told by Tapscott that he would not play after team trainers determined Blatche needed more time.
After testing the knee in practice yesterday, Blatche agreed that not playing was the right thing and said he will likely remain out until after the all-star break, which begins Thursday and concludes Monday.
The team's first post-all-star break game is next Tuesday against Minnesota. Blatche suffered the injury on a collision with the Suns' Shaquille O'Neal on Jan. 26.

Making Progress
We solved some final configuration problems yesterday between VBulletin and PhotoPost Pro, and now they are playing nicely with each other. Users have one registration, and then they have accounts on both systems, and the images can be integrated on both sides, etc. What we like about this is the "dual action" of photo galleries by each user, along with the discussion boards, along with file attachments… We're creating the system for alumni.
We wonder what the steps would be to creating a full-community system. If we had LDAP authentication working, we could have all faculty, staff, students and parents on one Vbulletin system, with categories for each division and/or grade level. There are user groups, so parents would have access to some things, students to others, faculty to others, and shared spaces for all.
This is intriguing to us, because a shared system could replace a lot of email chatter, put files in one place for everyone, and perhaps even absorb the weekly divisional newsletters. Additionally, the posts and documents can be changed, unlike sent emails, and if 2-3 parents have questions about an annoucement, the answers can be seen by all. At the same time, we could have a photo-rich environment, with image contributions from all parts of our population.
Utopia, until we have the unavoidable problems (flames, inappropriate posts, too many posts from certain users). However, isn't that part of the process of moving forward?

We have so much in common that I really wish I had a gay friend in real life.

New Federal Community Schools Grantees Reject False Dichotomy
Washington, D.C. - October 12, 2010 -The US Department of Education funded 11 new grantees, including three charter school organizations, under the FullService Community Schools Program (FSCS) last week. The Full Service Community Schools Program encouragescoordination of academic, social, and health services through partnerships that help all children meet challenging academic content and academic achievement standards.
"The Coalition for Community Schools applauds these grantees," said Martin Blank, Director of the Coalition for Community Schools and President of the Institute for Educational Leadership. "At a time when 'Waiting for Superman' suggests that our only options for improving education are to focus on teachers and charter schools, the over 200 FSCS applicants and 11 awardees are pursuing a different path. They go beyond this narrow point of view and say yes to genuine school reform that involves both quality teaching and providing the family and community supports that can create the conditions for all students to learn. As Secretary Duncan has said, it a false dichotomy to suggest that we should not and cannot do both. Community schools are the vehicle to realize that both/and vision."
Public school systems, non–profit organizations and higher education institutions join Green Dot Public Charter Schools, the East Austin College Prep Academy, Inc. a charter school in Austin Texas, and a network of charter schools in the San Fernando Valley led by Bert Corona Charter School as 2010 Full Service Community Schools grantees.
In serving a total of 39 schools, these grantees will partner with over 100 community-based organizations, neighborhood groups, local government, higher education and many others. They offer a wide array of services tailored to meet their community's needs, such as early learning, family engagement, health and dental care, mental health, mentoring and after school programs, apprenticeships and internships, nutrition and physical activity, parenting and adult education, and family financial services.
"We welcome these grantees to the growing number of schools and communities that are using the community school strategy to support student success," said Ira Harkavy, Coalition Chair and Associate Vice-President and Director of the Netter Center for Community Partnership at the University of Pennsylvania. "We must all work together if all of our students, particularly those at-risk, are to learn, develop and become contributing citizens of our democracy."
Local school and community leaders have been growing community school initiatives across the country. Chicago, Cincinnati, Evansville, the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, Lincoln, New York, and Philadelphia among others have major community school efforts. Most recently, Oakland has declared itself a community school district and Providence is expanding the work of its 2008 Full Service Community Schools Program grantee district-wide.

is the home based cavislim as effective as ultrashape and is the specifications of the machine similar
Is Ultrashape the Same As the Home Based Treatment Cavislim?
Doctor Answers 3
Home treatments vs In clinic
It's common to ask if we can do something at home rather than in the clinic, cost and time are both a factor. Ultrashpe treatments are very different than the home based versions. Home based products are not as powerful so you will not see results as quickly as you will with in clinic treatments. Home based products will also not create as dramatic a final results as an in office procedure will. That's not to say there is no place for at home use products. I like to recommend them as maintainance treatments. I always say - no matter what you do, surgical or non-surgical, you need to maintain those results with treatments designed at fighting off the aging process. At home use prodcuts are perfect for that.
Complete your in clinic treatments and then use your home device to maintain your results.
Dr. Mulholland
SpaMedica, Toronto, Canada
UltraShape Much Different than Cavislim
Low frequency ultrasound such as the Cavislim device at 40KHz at the same power setting (Wattage) should have different effects on fat than a higher frequency machine such as the UltraShape device operating at 200 +/- 30 KHz. The power is an independent factor as is the focal length for focused ultrasound energy.
The bottom line is that although these devices are labeled as non-invasive the ones that are most effective such as the UltraShape are a Class 2 medical device and are only administered by a RN, MD, PA, or DO in California and many other states. Problems and complications are possible if used not as directed or by the non-trained.

No civilization has ever stood the test of time. When societies collapse...how do the unprepared survive?
After ancient Rome fell to the barbarian hordes and its light went out, 500 years of economic and cultural deterioration followed in Europe - The Dark Ages. In the 14th century, the most brutal pandemic to ravage mankind finally pulled this part of the world out of the darkness. The Black Death decimated over 60 percent of the population, creating an immediate surplus of goods and land, which catapulted Europe into a new age of the rebirth: The Renaissance.
The Black Death pandemic of the 14th century was no act of nature. The outbreak was unleashed on purpose, by an ancient and occult cabal which still operates at the present time, behind the secret societies of the rich and powerful.
In the year 2020, moved by the desire to launch humanity into a new era of enlightenment and scientific advancements, this same obscure society plans to release a virus which can wipe out up to 90 percent of the world's population. Political maneuvering and the biggest false flag event in generations sets their plan in motion, and immediately the president of the United States is caught in a web of horror woven by this powerful global elite.
In the midst of it all, a clandestine CIA agent is torn between honor, duty and family. A struggling entrepreneur obeys the state and yet pays the ultimate price. An influential philanthropist has a dark secret that can alter the course of history, one which might lead a trio of scam artists to get more than they ever expected.
As modern society crumbles and the final unleashing of a New World Order takes place, these five lives will collide in a violent struggle for control, power and ultimate survival.

"Exceptional storyline and narration!"
The author spends the time to develop each character in the story. This had me hooked and invested to see their "plight" relating to their unique situation in the story.
The storyline is all its own. It has twists and turns like Pulp Fiction, Breaking Bad, and SOA. It is extremely well done and a little crazy at times. Crazy in a good way!
DJ Holte's performance is perfect. I liked the different voices he had for each character and the background work was exceptional.
Absolutely. I listened to it on a road trip and it made time fly. The end of each chapter left me speculating how the story would progress. The story switches between characters between chapters and I kept listening because I had to know!
"Train Wreck"
Well ... I'll never get that time back. I suffered through. This book is not good.

Object creation and destruction
Ilya came up with
another startling patch this week, but this one was a
little more complex: he estimates, however, that it "decreases the
overhead of creation/destruction of objects 3-4 times". It does this by
applying the same "handler" mechanism that operator overloading uses to
DESTROY methods. He also says that "other handlers can be easily done the same
way", which (I think) means that similar speed-ups are possible in
BEGIN and
END blocks.
More cool PerlIO stuff
Nick has been working his magic yet again; you can now say
use Encode; open($fh,"<encoding(iso8859-7)",$greek) || die "Cannot open $greek:$!";
This makes me ecstatically happy.
He also suggested it should be possible to use a scalar as data to be read from a filehandle, something I imagine every programmer's wanted to do at least once in their life. That is:
$data = "..."; open FH, "<", \$data or die "This really can't happen"; while (<FH>) { ... }
While he hasn't coded this yet, it shouldn't be very difficult, and would be a nice general solution to all sorts of problems.
What to do with bugs
Jarkko pointed out that there was a problem in the bug process, in that bugs can very easily be forgotten about without a trace, and there's no feedback between us and the bug reporter. We obviously want to fix this, so there's communication with the reporter, and so we make sure that every bug is dealt with and doesn't get forgotten.
Richard Foley suggested sending out a reminder of open bugs to the bug admins and p5p; there was then some wonderful set theory mathematics about which categories of currently open bugs we should start the ball rolling with and how many there were. This process will definitely happen with bugs submitted from now on, though. Read about it.
UV Preserving Arithmetic
Nicholas Clark's great work with UV/IV preserving arithmetic (You know,
so that
$a=3; $b=5; $a + $b results in an IV, not an NV) seems to have collapsed around his feet.
It seemed like everything was going well, after a couple of 70-odd K patches
this thread managed to get the whole thing working quickly and accurately, but then
Jarkko discovered it was giving nasty results on some platforms. Helmut
Jarausch found it
failing on Irix, and Jarkko was having it cause strange problems on Digital Unix. The
patches have been pulled out of the repository temporarily, and Nick is
reportedly looking for access to "something slightly more esoteric than
STOP PRESS! This from Nick:
Jarkko and I worked hard at hammering out the problems - I was relying on strtoul behaviour when presented with a number with leading "-" working everywhere the way it does on FreeBSD, linux (and Irix Jarkko reports) but it didn't work that way on Digital Unix, and that's where his nasty problems came from. I re-wrote that bit of code in sv.c to avoid even passing in the string with the leading "-" and with this solution it works everywhere we've tested, and seems to be in the repository as of yesterday (Saturday)
Code checkers
Last time I asked:
(Hey, maybe someone would like to try writing a program that automatically extracts example code from the documentation and makes sure it compiles?)
Well, Tels did it, and produced
Pod::Checker::Code; initially, it checked the synopsis and examples sections of module
documentation, but I suggested it should be extended to the example code
/pod. Tels duly did that, but this raised another question: how to mark up
the code appropriately so that it can be checked? Various ideas were
raised, the most promising being
=code perl
I don't think anything was actually decided; check the rest of the thread for details.
Jeff Pinyan reminded us again that the output of
$x = 10; print ++$x / $x;
is not what you might expect; Johan Vromans trumped this with
$i = 1; @a = ($i++, $i++, $i++, $i++, $i++); $i = 0; @b = (++$i, ++$i, ++$i, ++$i, ++$i); print "@a\n@b\n";
Now, we all know that if you do things with multiple side-effects at the same time, Weird Things occur. However, there was some argument as to whether this ought to be the case. Johan said:
I expect
$x = 10; print ++$x / $x--;
to produce the same output as:
$x = 10; $x1 = sub { ++$x }; $x2 = sub { $x-- }; print $x1->() / $x2->();
If not, it's a bug, or we'd better have a _good_ explanation.
Various people disagreed; it's not just a question of side-effects, but also a question of the order of evaluation of operands. C leaves the order of evaluation undefined, but do we want Perl to go this way? Nicholas Clark maintained that keeping the order undefined allows for flexibility in the implementation: if we promise a certain evaluation order, but then someone comes up with a huge speed increase hack which jiggles the evaluation order, we can't use it.

Reminder about the FAQ
Daniel Stutz asked how to get the latest development sources, (Answer: read perlhack, it tells you - well, the perlhack in the latest development sources does...) and also complained that "it's very hard to find information about P5P". Various people pointed out that P5P is mentioned in the first part of the Perl FAQ, and I finally remembered to post the FAQ.

On February 7, 2012, a federal appeals panel in the Ninth Circuit ruled that California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex couples from marrying, was unconstitutional. This split decision is the most recent in a four-year long legal battle that began in November 2008 when 52% of California residents voted "yes" on the proposition, abruptly ending the rights of same-sex couples to marry in California.
This decision impacted the estimated 109,000 gay couples in the state and grassroots movements related to the ban were widespread. The campaigns for and against Proposition 8 raised a whopping $39.9 million and $43.3 million, respectively. Numerous lawsuits were filed in the California Supreme Court by same-sex couples and governmental entities challenging the validity of Proposition 8 and questioning its implications on previously administered same-sex marriages. Ultimately, the Supreme Court of California upheld Proposition 8 as a valid initiative, but allowed prior same-sex marriages to be grandfathered in.
On August 4, 2010, the ban was lifted when District Court Judge Walker overturned Proposition 8 in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, ruling that it violated both the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Constitution. There was said be no compelling state interest justifying denying same-sex couples the fundamental right to marry and no rational basis for limiting the designation of 'marriage' to opposite sex couples. Controversy swarmed when proponents of Proposition 8 accused Walker of bias and claimed he should have disclosed his long-term relationship with another man. Some went as far as to say that Walker should have recused himself due to a conflict of interest. They argued that the conflict was not Walker's sexual orientation, but the fact that his serious relationship could conceivably lead to marriage.
The June 14, 2011, decision by Chief Judge James Ware of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco left the ruling by Judge Walker in place. In his opinion, Ware wrote that it was not "reasonable to presume that a judge is incapable of making an impartial decision about the constitutionality of a law, solely because, as a citizen, the judge could be affected by the proceedings." This ruling falls in line with similar precedence as no court has ever upheld the removal of a judge from a civil rights case because of his or her race, religion or gender.
The Ninth Circuit agreed with Judge Ware in saying that Walker was under no obligation to recuse himself for substantially the reasons set forth in the district court's opinion. After moving past the initial roadblock of deciding that Judge Walker's decision should not have been vacated, the panel moved on to assessing the constitutionality of Proposition 8.
Although it reached the same conclusion, the Ninth Circuit framed its decision in a narrower fashion than the District Court. Instead of pointing to an outright violation of the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Constitution, the Ninth Circuit focused on another argument: Proposition 8 singled out same-sex couples for unequal treatment by taking away from them alone the right to marry, and this action amounts to a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. The court found this argument the most appealing because it was the narrowest ground for adjudicating the constitutional questions, as compared to more general equal protection and due process arguments with broader applications.
The court sympathized with opponents of Proposition 8 in saying that "a rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but to the couple desiring to enter into a committed lifelong relationship, a marriage by the name of 'registered domestic partnership' does not….It is the designation of 'marriage' itself that expressed validation, by the state and the community, and that serves as a symbol, like a wedding ceremony or a wedding ring, of something profoundly important."
The Ninth Circuit found that eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry in California was unacceptable. "Withdrawing from a disfavored group the right to obtain a designation with significant societal consequences is different from declining to extend that designation in the first place….The action of changing something suggests a more deliberate purpose than does the action of leaving it as it is."
To that end, Judge Reinhardt found that "Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples." Although the ban on same-sex marriage has now been lifted, a stay imposed on Judge Walker's original decision will remain in place for at least two weeks after the decision. Opponents of Proposition 8 will likely seek to have the stay lifted, while supporters of Proposition 8 claim they will oppose this move.
Those against same-sex marriage are now faced with the decision to appeal the Ninth Circuit's decision to the Supreme Court of the United States, or to ask a larger panel of the Ninth Circuit to review the decision. But, legal analysts question whether the Supreme Court will agree to take this appeal because the narrow Ninth Circuit ruling only applies to California law. The Supreme Court may wait to take a case regarding same-sex marriages until it is presented with a broader question that pushes for a final decision applicable nationwide.
Whatever one's moral opinion on same-sex marriage may be, many have raised positive economic implications that stem from allowing same-sex marriage. The Sacramento Community College Players highlighted these positives in the comical "Prop 8-The Musical." If you have not yet seen this short, admittedly liberal, star-studded play, you are in for a treat. It echoes what one circuit court judge recently told me: "Let them get married, it will be more business for divorce lawyers." Sad, but almost certainly true.
Only time will tell what position our nation ultimately takes in this debate, but we can be sure of one thing: the next round in this fight is just over the horizon.

LONDON (ICIS)--The European ethylene contract price for May has been fully established at €1,160/tonne, down by €5/tonne, following direct confirmation from three major consumers and two major producers on Wednesday.
Confirmation from a third major producer is pending. Two of the settling consumers were non-integrated, with the other integrated.
The €5/tonne decrease from April is being considered a nod in the direction of those ethylene players concerned over the huge disconnect between spot and contract numbers on the back of oversupply. The extent of the decrease was limited by a slightly firmer naphtha average over April compared with the previous month.
The European ethylene contract price settles on a free delivered (FD) northwest Europe (NWE) basis.

The Wyandot County, Ohio Cemetery Burial Records, Col.
Wm. Crawford Chapter DAR, 1982, p. 571 states:
information from Alice Allen: "My records show a Mary Rinebolt, daughter of Daniel & Julia (Good) Rinebolt, married Joseph Truit. I believe the marriage took place on 31 Dec. 1846 in Seneca Co. OH. My basis for this is Daniel's will, made out 30 May 1874 in Marshall Co. KS, which gives $20 cash to his grand-daughter (unnamed in the will), who is the daughter of his deceased daughter Mary, whose husband's name was Joseph "Trude." Since this family was in Seneca Co. for many years (prior to leaving in mid to late 1850's for KS), I had always assumed the 1846 marriage for Mary to Joseph Truit to be for Mary, daughter of Daniel & Julia."

Women's Soccer Kicks Off Season With A 4-0 Victory Over Toledo
Senior Kim Warner Nets Two While Rookie Sarah Sample Earns An Assist And A Goal
Aug. 31, 2003
TOLEDO, OH -- The Colonials opened the 2003 season with a strong 4-0 victory over Toledo in Ohio. Kim Warner, last year's Offensive Player of the Year, led the Colonials with two goals including the game-winning first goal in the 22nd minute of play. Rookie Sarah Sample had an impressive GW debut with a goal and an assist. Nicole Cavino also scored in her first GW match while Ina Kain added an assist.
GW scored in the first half on Warner's unassisted goal off of a breakaway at the 21:25 mark. The Colonials would score again before the close of the half when Ina Kain executed a free kick to perfection placing the ball so that Cavino could flick it past Toledo's stunned goalkeeper. The Colonials entered the half with a 2-0 margin having outshot Toledo 5-1. Four of GW's first five shots were on goal.
Warner struck again at the 72 minute mark on an assist from freshman Sample. Sample would conclude the scoring with an unassisted goal of her own in the closing minutes of the match. All told, the Colonials took 10 shots eight of which were on goal resulting in the 4-0 win. Toledo, on the other hand, managed only five shots none of which found the target. Sophomore Kelly Paolucci was untested in goal behind a defense that allowed only one shot in the first half.
Warner was the Atlantic 10's Offensive Player of the Year in 2002 leading the league in goals with 15. During the course of last season, Warner moved from 20th to third place on GW's all-time points list. The fifth year senior was named to the A-10 Preseason All-Conference Team for 2003. Sarah Sample, who was honored as a Preseason All-Rookie Team member, made an immediate impact for GW in her first collegiate contest. She picked up three points (a goal and an assist) while putting a team-high four of five shots on goal. Redshirt freshman Cavino, who sat out last year with an injury, jumped at the chance to play scoring on one of two shots on goal. Kain, who tied last year's team lead with four assists including three early in the 2002 season, started 2003 as a playmaker with the first assist of her sophomore season.
In 2002, GW advanced to the A-10 Tournament for the first time since 1998 with a 10-9 season record good for fourth in the Atlantic 10 where the team was 7-5. The Colonials were credited by Soccer Buzz Magazine with having the #15 recruiting class in the region and were ranked fourth in the A-10 preseason poll.
The Colonials play next at the Georgetown Tournament with a Friday match against VCU scheduled to start at 2:00 pm. The team will then face tournament host Georgetown at 2:30 pm on Sunday, September 5th.

Some musical events encourage a community to take stock of its surroundings, but very few actually fold so seamlessly into the environment itself that they become part of a community's memory and imagination. John Luther Adams' Inuksuit is one of those works. Scored for 9 to 99 percussion players who are meant to be widely dispersed in an outdoor area (although the piece has also been performed indoors), Inuksuit has been described by the New York Times as "the ultimate environmental piece," while the New Yorker's Alex Ross hailed it as "one of the most rapturous experiences of my listening life."
The title refers to the Stonehenge-like markers used by the Inuit and other native peoples to orient themselves in Arctic spaces. Adams structured the rhythmic layers in the score to mimic these stone shapes, but there's an open- endedness to how the music is performed that reflects the sense of freedom behind it.
"Each performance of Inuksuit is different," Adams explains, "determined by the size of the ensemble and the specific instruments used, by the topology and vegetation of the site—even by the songs of the local birds. The musicians are dispersed throughout a large area, and the listeners are free to discover their own individual listening points, which actively shapes their experience."
Inuksuit has been performed numerous times, and in various spaces, since Adams first composed it in 2009. This recording, made in the forest surrounding Guilford Sound in Guilford, Vermont, and produced by percussionist and composer Doug Perkins, marks the first time that the piece is available on CD. Adams also sought to capture the experience of the performance in a surround mix, which unlike most commercially available 5.1 mixes, is full-range in every channel. "We wanted to make this feel as live as possible," Adams says. "When I originally composed Inuksuit, I wasn't prepared for the strong sense of community the piece seems to create. I'm glad to be able to give some of that back with this recording."

"Each performance of the work, composed in 2009, varies depending on location and number of instruments: This version, led by Doug Perkins in the woods in Guilford, Vt., features the natural sounds of that environment, eventually reaching a tumultuous crescendo of percussion."

NOAA's lists of recent yearly tornado and hurricane activity.
Notice how the number of tornados and deaths from them have been going down each of the past three years. Maybe they read this backwards ?
And since 2010 NOAA is reporting that yearly major hurricanes have also been declining.
So why is THE SAME Government now putting out a report saying that the weather has been getting more extreme ?

One of my favorite places to screen for stock ideas is the 13D filings snapshot found every week in Barron's. This past week, I came across an activist opportunity that was quite intriguing because of the way the activist has presented its case.
The company is FairPoint Communications (FRP), a regional provider of telephone and Internet service in New England. The current share price is $8.10, for a market cap of $213 million. Maglan Capital owns 9% of FairPoint. It has recommended to the board that FairPoint initiate the "immediate commencement" of a $1.50 annual dividend, a review of the sale process for FairPoint's telecom division and a review of the company's cost-reduction strategy.
If you are opportunistic like me, what jumps off the page is a $1.50 dividend possibility on an $8.10 stock, nearly a 20% yield. I don't know much about Maglan Capital, but apparently it is a firm that won't hesitate to go active but prefers to work with management privately. Maglan is primarily a long-side investor that has a preference for "companies that are deeply discounted to its peers with growing revenue and cash flows."
FairPoint emerged from bankruptcy in 2011 with a stock price of $24. That's very intriguing, because FairPoint's balance sheet shows long-term debt of $948 million. Net equity is a deficit of $317 million. Yet Maglan was quick to pick up 9% of the equity. The cash-flow statement may reveal why.
In the past three years, cash flow from operations was $190 million, $90 million and $193 million respectively, for a company that has a $213 million market cap. Annual interest expense has dropped from $140 million to $67 million over that same period. Since 26 million shares are outstanding, a $1.50-per-share annual dividend would cost about $40 million. Capital expenditures, which have averaged about $170 million per year, have been consuming cash flow.
You can see why this is a very intriguing idea and one worth looking into. The company has very lucrative and stable cash flows -- almost equivalent to the market cap and 5x enterprise value. I haven't looked closer at the debt profile, but since the company just emerged from bankruptcy, odds are that the debt covenants are quite good.
Maglan has been involved with FairPoint since before FairPoint emerged from bankruptcy. So Maglan has worked closely with management, and the relationship doesn't appear to be sour. Maglan appears ready do whatever is necessary to see FairPoint reward shareholders
In sum, you have an $8 stock that is generating around $8 per year in operating cash flow and paying about $3 per share in debt repayments. You do the math.
