A loving relationship with a man should never mean you give up your unique personality. Who you are (and how you are) are much too important to let that happen. It's nice if he know this; it's vital that you do. Loving him doesn't mean losing you.
Think about it. What we all want out of love is to be fully known (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and fully accepted. Careful. Don't seek the rewards of approval and miss the rewards of love. Refuse to say, do or even think anything that is motivated solely by approval-seeking.
Imagine the Queen of Sheba abandoning her vast kingdom, or Nefertiti giving up her regal bearinhg, Harriet Tubman disposing of her courage, or Mary McLeod Bethune hiding her brilliance. How about Maya Angelou putting down her pen. That's not love at all, it's suicide! The women who love men are daughters of these "she-roes." Who you are is too much to lose.
- lose touch with your own opinions, perspectives, and convictions. Declare them.
- hold your unique personality hostage. Display it.
- abandon your vision, goals, dreams. Pursue them.
Fear may tempt you to believe that unity and uniformity are synonymous. They are not. Uniformity is a unity counterfeit that requires one of you to forfeit your uniqueness in order to become acceptably similar to the other person.
Unity is the miracle of two very different individuals with dissimilar backgrounds, tastes, experiences, and personalities choosing to commune together. Two who not only accept their uniqueness, but celebrate it.
The man you love gains little when he has you, but not the things that make you, you. Love him enough to love yourself enough to be the best of who you are. Boldly offer your lover what you have already given a stamp of approval to-you.
Say it: "I am who I am. I don't have to be what I perceive he would approve of. That is a double-edged insult. Neither of us profits anything if I give up my life to gain his love."
Do it: Ask your most trusted and truthful sister-friends if they notice you being "less you" when you are with him, compared to when you are with them. Find out what parts of your speech, style, intellect, interest, or abilities have been safely locked away from his sight. Liberated them. If you've taken on his identity, or one he has fashioned for you-stop now. Return what you've borrowed of his. Get you life back!

Defiant Yanukovych intends to keep fighting
The Associated Press
Published Friday, February 28, 2014 6:19AM EST
Last Updated Friday, February 28, 2014 3:51PM EST
Making his first public appearance since fleeing Ukraine, fugitive Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych pledged Friday to fight for his country's future but said he will not ask for military assistance.
"I intend to keep fighting for the future of Ukraine," he told a news conference Friday in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. Yanukovych had not been seen since Saturday as he lost his grip on power.
Yanukovych said he supports Crimea's residents who are worried about "nationalists" in Kyiv but that use of force is "unacceptable."
"Any military action in this situation is unacceptable," he said.
Yanukovych insisted he "did not flee anywhere" but left for the city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine. He said he was "forced" to leave the country when he was in Crimea after his family received threats. Asked how he managed to get to Russia, the fugitive president said he got out "thanks to patriotic officers who did their duty and helped me to save my life."
Yanukovych said he had not met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russia but talked with him on the phone, adding that he hopes the Russian leader will find time to meet him.
The Ukrainian president lambasted the West for allegedly betraying a Feb. 21 compromise agreement between the government and the opposition, saying that recent actions by the opposition run counter to the EU-brokered pact.
Meanwhile, a top Ukrainian security official said two airports in Crimea were under Ukrainian control despite attempts by gunmen to "seize" them.
Ukraine's Interior Minister said earlier Friday that Russian navy troops were blocking access to the airports in Simferopol and Sevastopol, describing it as a "military invasion and occupation."
But Ukraine's Security Council Chief Andriy Parubiy insisted later that the airports were still under Ukrainian control, according to the Interfax news agency.

Several funding agencies require or encourage the development of data management plans for research. You should review specific guidelines for data management planning from the funding agency with which you are working. Because some funding agencies do not provide specific guidelines, below is an abbreviated compilation of data management plan elements from several sources (see DMPTool).
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Types of Data
- Data Formats and Metadata
- Access, Sharing and Privacy
- Policies and Provisions for Re-use & Re-distribution
- Data Storage and Preservation
- Costs
- DMPTool: Create ready-to-use plans
Roles and Responsibilities
- List staff/organizational roles and their responsibilities for carrying out the data management plan (DMP); name specific people where possible. Include a description of time allocations, training requirements, and contributions of non-project staff, as appropriate.

Raphael Girard posted 45 saves, his second-highest saves total of his career (photo by Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In its second straight overtime the roles reversed for the Harvard's men's hockey team as Princeton's Andrew Calof netted an extra skater goal with just 37 seconds remaining to hand the Crimson a 2-1 decision on Saturday night at Bright Hockey Center. Harvard finishes the regular season with a 9-17-3 overall record and 6-14-2 ECAC mark while Princeton closes out the regular season at 10-14-5 overall and a 8-10-4 conference mark.
Princeton called a timeout with just 1:09 remaining in the extra frame. The Tigers pulled their goalie out of the time to give them an extra skater advantage, but Kyle Criscuolo stole the puck and sent a shot from Harvard's blue line toward Princeton's net. Criscuolo shot just missed the goal on the left and was the last scoring opportunity for the Crimson.
Alex Fallstrom netted the lone Crimson goal of the night to extend his game-point streak to eight games, the longest of his career. Raphael Girard turned down 45 Princeton attempts, which marks the junior's second-highest number of saves in his career.
The game marks the final regular season contest for the Crimson six seniors; Danny Biega, Marshall Everson, Fallstrom, Luke Greiner Conor Morrison and Brendan Rempel.
Princeton came out with a full head of steam to start the game, firing a number of shots towards the Harvard cage with the Crimson unable to respond. Between the blocked shots and saves from Raphael Girard, however, the hosts were able to keep the Tigers off the board, despite an early 5-1 deficit in shots. The break the Tigers needed looked to arrive at 11:15 when Brian Hart was booked for tripping, but it was the Crimson that took advantage of the opportunity.
Greiner won the ensuing face-off in his own zone and then followed the puck out past the blue line and into Princeton territory. The senior dished to classmate Fallstrom who deked and backhanded home a short-handed strike at 11:24 to give Harvard the 1-0 edge. Two more Harvard penalties gave the Tigers room for some offense, but the Crimson penalty kill managed to keep the guests at bay through the end of the frame.
The flurry of shots from Princeton continued into the second period, with the Tigers ending the frame holding a significant 27-14 edge in shots in goal. Harvard had limited looks on offense, but Girard stood tall through most of the period to secure the Crimson lead. The Tigers finally broke through at the 8:41 mark, leveling the score with an even-strength effort. Kyle Rankin won a faceoff and Tyler Magueri slid the puck back to Michael Sdao, who centered the puck near the blue line and shot through a crowd past Girard for his eighth of the season. In the period, Princeton outshot Harvard, 14-6.
Harvard's offense upped the ante in the final period of regulation as the Crimson registered double-digit shots on goal for the first time in the contest. Condon turned away Harvard's 11 attempts while at the other end of the ice the Crimson defense aided Girard to keep Princeton off the scoreboard. Out of the Tigers 35 total shot attempts Harvard's defense blocked 12 and Girard turned away 16 to force the overtime.
Harvard will travel to Hanover, N.H., to face Dartmouth in the ECAC quarterfinals.

I have been asked about the banner in my avatar. I created it for my church for Easter. I only had 2 weeks to get it ready. It's partly a pattern from Lovenest Designs called Eternal Hope. And it's partly my interpretation. I changed all the colors and enlarged it. I put the stained glass border on to give it more of a window look. The congregation at my church have been most complimentary.
I posted it one time before. But, the post never made it to the digest. So I'll try again.

Video: The Foxconn riot
FORTUNE — The footage posted late Sunday local time on China's YouKu video hosting service (and picked up on YouTube) shows a scene that will be familiar to anyone who lived through the student protests of the 1960s: Crowds of young people gravitating toward the center of the action. Excited laughter and giggling punctuated by angry shouts, screams and finally what sound like gunshots.
The authenticity of the 4:44 minute video has not been officially confirmed, however. Nor does it shed light on what triggered the riot at Foxconn's (FXCNY) Taiyuan plant in northern China or what exactly was being made there.
A Chinese newspaper's undercover investigation in August reported that the plant, which employs nearly 80,000 workers, was involved in making parts for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5. But an analyst quoted by Bloomberg said that Apple had "little manufacturing exposure" at the factory, and that it was more likely producing other devices such as Nintendo's (NYDOY) Wii.
Also unclear is what caused the riot in the first place. Early reports on Chinese social media sites monitored by Engadget's Richard Lai said the disturbance began when a security guard struck a worker and grew into a brawl that hospitalized 40 and led to up to 20 arrests.
A spokesman for Foxconn, who initially put the number injured at 10, said it started as a dormitory fight between two competing work groups.
Photos posted on Chinese sites show broken shop windows and an overturned guard station. Eventually paramilitary and other police were called in to restore order. Foxconn announced Monday that the plant would be closed while the incident is being investigated, but that it will reopen Tuesday.
A spokesman for the China Labor Bulletin, a nonprofit advocacy group in Hong Kong, told the
New York Times
that workers on the mainland have become increasingly emboldened. "They're more willing to stand up for their rights, to stand up to injustice," he said.

JANUARY 8th. — All night I remained by the side of the poor fellow's corpse, and several times Miss Herbey joined me in my mournful watch.
Before daylight dawned the body was quite cold, and as I knew there must be no delay in throwing it overboard, I asked Curtis to assist me in the sad office. The body was frightfully emaciated, and I had every hope that it would not float.
As soon as it was quite light, taking every precaution that no one should see what we were about, Curtis and I proceeded to our melancholy task. We took a few articles from the lieutenant's pockets, which we purposed, if either of us should survive, to remit to his mother. But as we wrapped him in his tattered garments that would have to suffice for his winding-sheet, I started back with a thrill of horror. The right foot had gone, leaving the leg a bleeding stump!
No doubt that, overcome by fatigue, I must have fallen asleep for an interval during the night, and some one had taken advantage of my slumber to mutilate the corpse. But who could have been guilty of so fowl a deed! Curtis looked around with anger flashing In his eye; but all seemed as usual, and the silence was only broken by a few groans of agony.
But there was no time to be lost; perhaps we were already observed, and more horrible scenes might be likely to occur. Curtis said a few short prayers, and we cast the body into the sea. It sank immediately.
"They are feeding the sharks well, and no mistake," said a voice behind me.
I turned round quickly, and found that it was Jynxtrop who had spoken.
As the boatswain now approached, I asked him whether he thought it possible that any of the wretched men could have taken the dead man's foot.
"Oh yes, I dare say," he replied, in a significant tone "and perhaps they thought they were right."
"Right! what do you mean?" I exclaimed.
"Well, sir," he said coldly, "isn't it better to eat a dead man than a living one?"
I was at a loss to comprehend him, and, turning away, laid myself down at the end of the raft.
Towards eleven o'clock, a most suspicious incident occurred. The boatswain, who had cast his lines early in the morning, caught three large cod, each more than thirty inches long, of the species which, when dried, is known by the name of stock-fish. Scarcely had he hauled them on board, when the sailors made a dash at them, and it was with the utmost difficulty that Curtis, Falsten, and myself could restore order, so that we might divide the fish into equal portions. Three cod were not much amongst fourteen starving persons, but, small as the quantity was, it was allotted in strictly equal shares. Most of us devoured the food raw, almost I might say, alive; only Curtis, Andre and Miss Herbey having the patience to wait until their allowance had been boiled at a fire which they made with a few scraps of wood. For myself, I confess that I swallowed my portion of fish just as it was — raw and bleeding. M. Letourneur followed my example; the poor man devoured his food like a famished wolf, and it is only a wonder to me how, after his lengthened fast, he came to be alive at all.
The boatswain's delight at his success was, excessive, and amounted almost to delirium. I went up to him, and encouraged him to repeat his attempt.
"Oh, yes," he said; "I'll try again. I'll try again."
"And why not try at once," I asked.
"Not now," he said evasively; "the night is the best time for catching large fish. Besides, I must manage to get some bait, for we have been improvident enough not to save a single scrap."
"But you have succeeded once without bait; why may you not succeed again?"
"Oh! I had some very good bait last night," he said. I stared at him in amazement. He steadily returned my gaze, but said nothing.
"Have you none left?" at last I asked.
"Yes!" he almost whispered and left me without another word.
Our meal, meagre as it had been, served to rally our shattered energies; our hopes were slightly raised; there was no reason why the boatswain should not have the same good luck again.
One evidence of the degree to which our spirits were revived was that our minds were no longer fixed upon the miserable present and hopeless future, but we began to recall and discuss the past; and M. Letourneur, Andre Mr. Falsten, and I held a long conversation with the captain about the various incidents of our eventful voyage, speaking of our lost companions, of the fire, of the stranding of the ship, of our sojourn on Ham Rock, of the springing of the leak, of our terrible voyage in the top-masts, of the construction of the raft, and of the storm. All these things seemed to have happened so long ago, and yet we were living still. Living, did I say? Ay, if such an existence as ours could be called a life, fourteen of us were living still. Who would be the next to go? We should then be thirteen.
"An unlucky number!" said Andre with a mournful smile.
During the night the boatswain cast his lines from the stern of the raft, and, unwilling to trust them to any one else, remained watching them himself. In the morning I went to ascertain what success had attended his patience. It was scarcely light, and with eager eyes he was peering down into the water. He had neither seen nor heard me coming.
"Well, boatswain!" I said, touching him on the shoulder.
He turned round quickly.
"Those villainous sharks have eaten every morsel of my bait," he said, in a desponding voice.
"And you have no more left?" I asked.
"No more," he said. Then grasping my arm he added, "and that only shows me that it is no good doing things by halves."
The truth flashed upon me at once, and I laid my hand upon his mouth. Poor Walter!

Large and small discs for an optimal crop flow
The concept of the new ORBIS maize front attachments, which are available in working widths of 6.0 m and 7.5 m, is based on the proven combination of large and small discs. Large discs are fitted in the central area of the front attachment. These ensure a smooth crop flow and have significant functional advantages during reversing. On the ORBIS 600 SD, the outer units have two small discs (SD = Small Disc) while the ORBIS 750 is equipped with a combination of a large outer disc and a small inner disc. As a result, both models have the proven V-shaped crop flow with optimal functional reliability, even where the density of the maize stands varies. The newly designed fingers ahead of the knives ensure low-loss crop collection and feature points which can be removed for harvesting laid maize. The knives with their new crescent-shaped blade deliver top cutting quality in all crops.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) — A woman was hit and pinned under a Metro train in Hollywood Friday morning.
It happened at the Red Line station at Western and Hollywood.
Emergency rescue crews were able to free the woman from the train within twenty minutes of arriving at the scene.
The LAFD told KTLA a surveillance camera shows the woman was standing by herself next to the train, but it's still unclear if the woman fell or jumped.
The woman is in critical condition with chest trauma, broken ribs and a possible punctured lung among other injuries.
She is expected to survive.

Goldman Sachs says that its program trading software can be used to manipulate markets:
The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways.
(and see this).
Given that Goldman obviously knows how to use its own program – which it paid many millions for – isn't that a virtual admission that Goldman has been manipulating markets?

On September 22, 2008, Microsoft is planning to permanently deprecate Virtual Earth version 3 and version 4, and to automatically upgrade version 5. On September 10, version 6.0 will be automatically upgraded to version 6.1 (this was originally supposed to occur on August 28). This Virtual Earth version end-of-life and automatic upgrade plan only applies to Virtual Earth and does not affect MapPoint. The latest features of Virtual Earth version 6.1 can be implemented with the latest SDK, updated in April.
Those applications that are currently using Virtual Earth version 3 or 4 need to be upgraded to Virtual Earth version 6.1 by September 22 to ensure Virtual Earth service availability. Developers using version 5 and 6.0 do not need to do anything since Virtual Earth version 6.1 is backward compatible with both. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to test these older applications against version 6.1 prior to the automatic upgrade dates. Alternatively, developers can choose to actively upgrade their old applications prior to the dates.
Further technical documentation on how to migrate from these older versions of Virtual Earth is available on MSDN.

Alexander the Great in His World
Alexander the Great in His World
ISBN: 978-0-631-23245-2 November 2006 Wiley-Blackwell 304 Pages
The book begins with an exploration of the Macedonia that conditioned the lives of its inhabitants. It also traces such influences on Alexander's life as his royal Argead ancestry, his father, Philip II, and his mother, Olympias. The author examines Alexander's engagement with Greek culture, especially his relationship with Aristotle, and contemplates how other societal factors – especially the highly militarized Macedonian kingdom and the nature of Macedonia's relationship with neighboring states – contributed to his achievement.
What was the significance of these influences on the man who succeeded in conquering most of the known world from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River? The author focuses on this question in exploring ancient landscapes and resurrecting key figures from antiquity in order to penetrate the motivation, goals, and inner being of Alexander the Great.

Swapping In Wheat Crust
Food makers are trying to take some guilt out of gorging on pizza.
They are launching a slew of pies with whole wheat and whole grain crusts. But while the pizzas may be a little bit healthier, they tend to have a similar number of calories and grams of fat per serving. (And a word of warning: A serving is often just one third or one-half of the pie.)
We fired up our ovens and baked four different frozen pizzas. The quality of the pies we tasted ranged from fantastic to less than appetizing. Here's how they measured up.
Amy's Kitchen Cheese and Pesto Pizza with Whole Wheat Crust
Price/Availability: $6.39; amyskitchen.com
Calories/Total Fat: 360 calories/18grams of fat per serving.
Comment: Amy's frozen pizza was outstanding. The pesto and tomato sauce combination was a nice change from standard pizza sauce. We could only faintly taste the wheat in the crust. The pies are fairly small; there area only three servings per pie. We had to fight off urges to eat the entire pizza in one sitting.

The rap against Kathleen Battle used to be that her voice was not big enough to fill the Met. I never had the slightest difficulty making out Battle's pealing, silvery tones in the vast spaces of the house. The roles I saw her in — Susanna, Adina, Pamina, Rosina — were all canny repertory choices for her pristine and youthful sound, with its unmistakable ping, and she seemed always to be paired with conductors who knew how to achieve transparency of orchestral texture and balance with the voices whereby the collective climaxes emerged thrilling and undimmed, with no sense of holding back.
The radio broadcast of Battle's Adina from 1992 features another artist of small but spectacular vocal means: Stanford Olsen, who sang Nemorino, was a light lyric tenor blessed with rare musicality and refinement. Like Battle, he possessed the clarity and brilliance of tone, the incisive articulation and the instinctive feel for the shape of a phrase to project an illusion of vocal power when needed, so that even without a big, beefy sound he could produce a whopping musical effect. When he sang softly, you could probably have heard a pin drop in the hall, except that the audience tended to be so rapt at those moments they would have died rather than drop one. And because he had the courage, the technique and the delicate beauty of sound to offer a true pianissimo — always audible in the prevailing hush it inspired — his fortes, though never loud by Met standards, provided sufficient contrast, build and ring to pack a genuine punch within the context of his nuanced singing.
I've never quite understood why Olsen did not have a bigger career. His Ottavio was suave, manly and heartfelt; his Belmonte made the long, sustained phrases and tricky articulations that can come across as a tenorial obstacle course into the miraculous expressive devices they were meant to be. His Nemorino was poignant, mellifluous, honey-sweet, at once dignified and hilarious. And he had one thing that is in far too short supply — the ability to float an ethereal note or phrase so freely and easily that it seemed to emanate straight from his heart, bypassing the constraints of his throat, and hang effortlessly and magically in the air.
I often wonder whether the current craving for big, blaring voices is a result of generational hearing loss occasioned by too many rock concerts and sessions with the headphones set on high, or is part of a discouraging trend toward passive participation in the arts. Nowadays, we seem to require the singers to come to us with a kind of in-your-face boldness that demands our attention, whether we like it or not, rather than requiring us to prick up our ears and lean forward eagerly to catch every shade of musical meaning.
Do we go to the opera just to hear the music as it goes by, struggling to drown out the din of our own distracting thoughts — or can we muster the extra effort to focus actively on taking in every word and note of something worth really listening to?
— Louise T. Guinther

In my post on Family Food, I reminisced about a fantastic candy made by my Aunt Rene and later also by my mother, mostly at Christmas time. Yesterday I decided to do some "extra special" cleaning in some places that … um, well … I don't clean very often. Like the corner of the dining room next to the bookcase that's hard to reach for various reasons. And there was a pile of (very dusty) boxes for 3x5 cards, i.e., a bunch of my old recipe boxes. I suspected one of them might hold the longed-for recipe, and sure enough, I quickly found the recipe.
And what was the name on the recipe for these mouth-watering delights? … "Candy Balls." So here's the recipe, folks.
Candy Balls
Mix together 1 stick oleo, 1 can Eagle milk, 2 boxes powdered sugar, 2 cans coconut, 4 c. pecans; chill 2 hrs. Take out & roll into balls. Rechill. Melt in double boiler 2 packages chocolate chips, ¼ lb. paraffin. Stick toothpicks into balls & dip them into hot chocolate. Rechill. Dip them over as long as there is any chocolate left. For variety, dip balls into cherry juice before dipping in chocolate.
Now if I can just find Photo Album Number 4.

OOOH, this recipe sounds good...It was worth searching for!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Becky, I'm still hopin'!ReplyDelete
Yes, JoLyn, this candy was definitely a creamy confection of calories. I'll have to get my act together and try to recreate it.
I've never made candy before but always wanted to (for some reason I always thought it would be difficult to do). Your recipe sounds good- I think I'll make it my first try at candy-making!ReplyDelete
Good luck, Leah! One thing I remember about the chocolate coating part - that could get a little labor-intensive; I think there is some trick about getting the chocolate to the right consistency so that you get a thick coating with each dipping rather than a thin one.ReplyDelete

K-9 search nets drugs
The second time is the charm for Craig Police in arresting a Wyoming man for allegedly carrying drugs in his vehicle.
Mark Anthony Robinson, 24, was arrested Sunday as the result of a vehicle search with the help of a drug-sniffing dog.
Police said they found a residue that tested positive for methamphetamine in seven small "jeweler's" bags in the 1997 silver Ford F-150 Robinson was driving.
Robinson was arrested Feb. 11 on a similar violation, police said. At the time, police searched Rob-inson's vehicle with a drug-sniffing dog and found five jeweler's baggies, one of which had a small amount of a white substance that tested positive for meth, said Lt. John Forgay of the Craig Police De-part-ment.
In the February incident, Robin-son was arrested on charges of possession of more than 1 gram of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
He was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and a traffic violation for driving without insurance in the March 13 incident. He also faces a felony charge for a violation of bail bond conditions.
Robinson has a driver's license and license plates out of Wyoming but was staying at the Craig Motel.
Robinson's case is an example of the kinds of cases that Craig police increasingly are handling.
Craig Police officers reported an 81 percent increase in drug and narcotic violations in 2004 compared with the previous year.
"One reason we're seeing these (kinds of violations) is that we have a (drug-sniffing) dog," Forgay said. "We have the tools available. We just have to use them."

Truckster's Final Resting Place
August 27, 2010 Leave a comment
Adam and I were rolling through the desert over the last few days to get the Truckster back to HomeAway.com's headquarters in Austin, TX, wrapping up the Great American Road Trip. Despite almost hitting an elephant-sized cow and having some starter issues, things were moving pretty well…until we reached Austin.
We decided to make a pit stop at Target to get some last minute goods before pulling the Truckster in to HQ when we felt something snap. "Pull over!" I barked, "I think we blew a tire." We coasted in to Target's driveway (technically reaching our destination) and got out. The Truckster was slumping to the left but there was no flat tire. Not good.
After calling a few tow trucks and getting some street advice from pedestrians, we diagnosed it with a broken lower ball joint on the driver's side tire. Here's what ensued…

In 2006, director Bong Joon-ho brought "The Host" to the world stage. A clever, startling reawakening of the monster movie genre, the film brought the director tremendous, well-deserved success, making him something of a master of the genre after only a single picture. "Mother" returns Bong to familiar cinematic ground, taking on a slightly comic, utterly transfixing murder mystery that pins violence and messy displays of injustice on the most saintly of screen images: dear old mom.
Desperate to keep her moderately mentally challenged son Do-jun (Won Bin) out of trouble, Mother (Kim Hye-ja) observes his daily life from her area of work, shooing him away from problematic characters, hoping his better judgment will one day reveal itself. When a local girl winds up gruesomely murdered and displayed for everyone to see, the local police arrest Do-jun in connection to the crime, goading him into a confession. With Do-jun in prison, Mother sets out to find clues that will set her one and only child free, with the help of her son's friend, Jin-tae (Jin Ku). Hoping for easy answers, Mother instead finds a town of vast dysfunction, with multiple suspects in her pint-sized crosshairs.
"Mother" is a sumptuously Hitchcockian thriller that walks a fine line between wry comedy and broad suspense. It's a high-wire act from Bong that spotlights his gifts with genre-bending material, unafraid of subtle tonal shifts and stark flashes of horror. While "The Host" was a superb examination of Korean society and environmental damage, "Mother" reduces the cinematic scope to more frenzied domestic concerns, stuffed inside of a spellbinding murder mystery the filmmaker sustains delightfully for the two hour running time.
While assembled with expertly designed cinematography that extracts a delightfully macabre tone out of every available moment, the real power of the film emerges from Kim's sensitive, trembling performance as Mother. A woman dealing with her own crippling issues of guilt, Mother yearns to protect her son from bullies and scams, watching as her child bluntly bolts through life safe in the knowledge that his mom will be there to catch him when he falls. However, Mother is perhaps Do-jun's greatest threat, developing a sense of dread that the director coils around the script faultlessly, building the character not expressly on notes of flat-footed sainthood, but of possible sin. Kim's plays the role to wonderful lengths of worry and desperation; it's a skin-tearing performance that helps the director find those hostile dark spaces and sublime smacks of revelation.
The twists and turns of "Mother" take on a traditional sense of the unexpected, as Mother inches toward a final revelation that turns a simple declaration of innocence into a winding road of betrayal and deception that threatens to turn the spotlight of guilt on the woman who demanded all the answers in the first place. "Mother" is a true nail-biter, with a generous sense of humor and appreciation for the deranged that maintains an inviting, colorful atmosphere of murder, parental protection, and maternal extremity.


text: The Green Family Posted on October 29, 2012 by Heidi If you've been keeping up with our blogs for a while, you may remember the fire that we had here a few months back, and as a result, the heroic actions of two young cadets from Fishburne Military School. One of these cadets, Collin, was recently joined by his twin brother Ryan for their senior year at Fishburne, and their family was featured in a news piece about the military school.

Université Paris I--Panthéon-Sorbonne Paris, France
Paris I is the partner school for one of Cornell Law School's four-year joint degree programs, the J.D./Master en droit. There also is an informal understanding with the law faculty unit that hosts the joint degree (UFR 07--Etudes Internationales, Européennes et Comparatives), whereby Cornell students can participate in a semester exchange. Students must understand, however, that this exchange is less structured than others, because Paris I does not have a formal program for such exchanges. As a result, there is very little administrative support for students in Paris. Interested persons should contact the Executive Director of the Clarke Center for International and Comparative Legal Studies. Cornell may send two students each fall semester.
Language of Instruction:
The law faculty of Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne is located in the Fifth Arrondisement, in the heart of the Latin Quarter.
Academic Calendar
First Semester: Classes: Mid-September to Mid-December; Exams--Early to Mid-January
Second Semester: Classes: Mid-January to Mid-April; Exams--Late-April to Mid-May
Students planning to attend the First Semester would have to be prepared to make individual arrangements for early examinations directly with their Paris I instructors, in order to be back in Ithaca for the start of the Spring semester. Students participating in the Second Semester likely would have similar concerns in connection with clerking commitments or bar review. These arrangements cannot be made on the student's behalf by Cornell administrators. Sample Courses: Because this is an informal exchange, individual arrangements for coursework must be made by each Cornell student.
Sample Courses:

2015 Fall courses are available here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A high-ranking member of a Mexican drug cartel has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for conspiring to import multi-ton quantities of cocaine and marijuana into the U.S.
U.S. District Judge Barbara J. Rothstein sentenced Aurelio Cano Flores on Monday, following his conviction by a jury back in February. Cano Flores was also ordered to forfeit $15 billion in drug proceeds.
He had been extradited to the U.S. from Mexico in 2011, following his indictment on drug trafficking offenses the previous year.
According to the Justice Department, evidence at his trial showed that Cano Flores started working for the cartel around 2001, while working as a police officer.


text: Random inspiration from Accelerated Massive Parallelism 20 June 2013 david Code For some reason I've started looking at the sample code for Microsoft's C++ AMP: Accelerated Massive Parallelism. The temptation to offload work onto the GPU has finally proved too much. Actually, I've looked at various ways to do that in the past, but then slowly walked away... This time I got as far as calculating the Mandelbrot set by means of C++ AMP, but I won't bore you with that, and besides, Microsoft have provided their own sample code and it's probably better than my version. But when I looked that their code for calling C++ AMP from C# code I was reminded how simple it is to call C++ code from .Net, and I started to wonder why I don't do this more often - even without any Accelerated Massive Parallelism trickery. For example, say you're doing some repetitive calculations, why not do the maths in a small bit of C++ code and get a huge speed improvement? It's not that difficult to do a simple calculation in C++ and you don't need lots more code. So I spent a lunchbreak writing a sample project to calculate the biggest distance found between an array of points (x,y coordinates). I implemented the same calculation in both C# and C++ and then ran it on an array of 10,000 random points. Using the C++ code, without any help from AMP, it was about ten times faster - even thought I was calling it from within my C# console app: Wow. That's quite a big difference. Note: I'm computing the distance between every combination of two points in the array and returning the biggest distance found. Now ... I may not be able to do this type of stuff during my day job, where everything needs to be done in C# only, but I think that I may be tempted to do this type of stuff in my own time when I'm just messing around.

When I'm interested in something, I focus–like miss obvious things going on around me kind of focus. This led me (in college, I think) to discover a nifty little trick.
The next time your in a mid-sized audience, say 15 to 100 people, for a speaker, try something. Pay attention. I mean close attention. Ignore your friends, watch the speaker, and try to anticipate what they'll say next.
Assuming your friends aren't trying the same thing, you'll notice something after about 10 minutes. The speaker, unless blinded by stage lights or very, very professional, will be talking to you. They'll spend 40-60% of their time looking directly at you. They'll wait for you to nod slightly at important points or smile at jokes. They'll drift slightly toward you if you're off to one side. They won't lose their topics, but they may lose the rest of their audience.
Works for almost anyone but professional storytellers, whose audience contact is part of how they tell the story. Works for professors, for introverts, for high corporate mucky mucks. I've even moderated a panel discussion at a convention from the audience this way. Their moderator wasn't doing much, I asked a couple of questions and listened to the answers, et voila. Pretty soon everyone on the panel was waiting for me to look at them before they spoke. Very strange, but kind of cool.
One word of caution: listening this way in a one-on-one situation can have a very different outcome. You may end up with a new best friend who has to tell you all their troubles (because you're so understanding), or someone may feel the need to tell you, nervously, that they're just not interested. So be careful where you practice.

Chelsea were handed a trip to old rivals Leeds in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup as a reward for their comeback win over Manchester United.
Roberto Di Matteo's side claimed a 5-4 extra-time victory over the Red Devils after forcing the additional period courtesy of Eden Hazard's last-gasp penalty.
The Blues' trip to Elland Road will excite both sets of fans, while Ken Bates - former owner of Chelsea and currently in the process of selling Leeds - will be another interested observer.
Neil Warnock's side have already dispensed with two top-flight opponents in the competition, knocking out Everton 2-1 and Southampton 3-0 - both on home turf.
Chelsea boss Di Matteo told Sky Sports: "Playing away is always difficult and Leeds and Chelsea have a bit of history there as well. It will be an interesting game."
The lowest-ranked side still in the hat, npower League Two outfit Bradford have been dealt a tough draw against Arsenal but at least have the benefit of home advantage.
Like Leeds the Bantams have already knocked out Premier League opponents, seeing off Wigan 4-2 on penalties after their goalless draw. For an Arsenal side looking to end a trophy drought stretching back to 2005, the chance of a taking on a fourth-tier side for a place in the semi-finals must surely be an appealing one.
Aston Villa's trip to Norwich is the only all Premier League match-up in the last eight and gives Villa boss Paul Lambert another chance to face the club he left this summer. The two teams drew 1-1 in league action at the weekend.
The draw is completed by Swansea's home match against Middlesbrough. Boro earned their place in the quarter-finals with a derby victory over Sunderland in the fourth round, while Swansea defeated their former manager Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side at Anfield.
Fixtures are due to take place on the week commencing December 10, barring Leeds versus Chelsea which is deferred until December 19 due to the latter's participation in the World Club Cup.

Billy Dexter is a character from the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a radio show host in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
In 1992 he was the host of Entertaining America on WCTR, a talk radio station. He had wanted to call the show Stack the Dex, but was unable to change the name. He planned to interview Richard Goblin, a chef, before being fatally and accidentally shot by Jack Howitzer. Dexter was later replaced by Lazlow, with Howitzer later put on trial for the murder of Dexter.
He is evidently a follower of the Epsilon Program as he can frequently be heard saying the name of the cult's supposed celestial deity, Kifflom.
He is voiced by Peter Marx.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, he's one of the honored celebrities on the Vinewood Walk of Fame.

I'm replacing a computer I built in the fall of 2004! At the time it was a beast of a system that tore up Half-Life 2 and Far Cry and everything else for a few years. It's still a great machine but definitely showing its age. I'm finally in a position to build a new rig, so...
- Under $2000
- Quiet
- Rock-solid stability (*)
- Capable gamer
- Capable photo and video editor
- Blazing fast system start
- Everything mail-order from Canada (**)
(*) I enjoy tweaking for performance on a new system but I leave things alone after I get it stable.
(**) I live in a remote community in northern Ontario, so *everything* has to be shipped.
Here is my proposed build:
All of the above, estimating $160 for the case and $300 for the video card, comes to $1864 if purchased a la carte from NCIX.Code:Motherboard ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Cooler Scythe Mugen-2 Rev. B Thermal Paste Arctic Silver 5 HIGH-DENSITY Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound 3.5 Gram Memory G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24 (qualified for board and cheaper than the 1600 set) SSD (pri) Corsair Force Series 120GB 2.5IN SATA2 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD Sandforce. Hard Drv (sec) Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB SATA2 7200RPM 3.6MS 64MB 3.5IN Dual Proc Hard Drive OEM PSU Corsair TX750 V2 750W ATX 12V Single Rail 60A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80PLUS Bronze DVD Drive ASUS DRW-24B3LT 24X SATA DVD Writer OEM Lightscribe Black Operating Sys MS Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64BIT DVD OEM Case ??? (see below) Video Card ??? (see below)
Video Card – I estimated $300, but really I want to be able to play any new FPS game with a good amount of detail and edit photos and videos. I don't want to skimp, but the $819.99 Asus ENGTX570 is out of the question! How about:
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Fermi 732MHZ 1280MB GDDR5 2XDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card for $339.99?
Is this a reasonable card for the proposed rig? Would another $100 toward the video card be worthwhile? Will this card be reasonably quiet?
Case – I've looked at so many and I just don't know! I estimated $160 in the budget. I'd like to have an eSATA and some USB ports out front (or on a front panel). Ideally it will fit the Scythe Mugen-2 Rev. B cooler I selected. The old rig sits in an Antec P160 and I like the look of it but it seems to amplify fan noise. I don't want glowing fan lights (they look good on *other* builders' rigs). I've been looking at the Corsair Graphite 600T. I was also looking at the Antec P183. Suggestions?
Cooling – I value QUIET, and would be willing to put more of the budget toward it. Would a liquid cooler kit such as the Corsair H60 or H70 be worthwhile?
PSU – I chose the Corsair TX750 V2 750W, but could I safely use a 650W unit? The "modular gold" version of this PSU (AX750 CMPSU-750AX is another $50. Given that I've never had any trouble neatly bundling unused cables, is there any other reason to go with the higher cost unit?
I welcome your comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, and questions. Thanks for your help.
