The Central Connecticut baseball team rebounded from a 9-2 loss in game one a doubleheader on Saturday and won the second game, 7-4, in extra-innings. With the split Central is now 20-16 overall on the season. Fairfield is now 25-19. The two teams will finish the weekend series with a single game on Sunday at 1 p.m. in New Britain.
The Blue Devils lost the first game 9-2. Sophomore Connor Fitzsimons and junior Bryant Rivera each drove in a run for the game but the Stags used 10 hits and three CCSU errors to plate nine runs in the victory. The loss snapped Central's six-game winning streak.
In game two the Blue Devils scored a single run in the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. Senior J.P. Sportman singled to lead off the game and went to second on a single from classmate Anthony Turgeon. Sportman scored on a single from senior Josh Ingham to give the Blue Devils the lead.
In the second inning freshman Nick Hayes doubled down the right field line and then scored on an error by the Stags, making it 2-0.
Fairfield scored twice in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game 2-2. A pair of RBI singles off of senior Nick Neumann tied the score.
The Blue Devils rallied in the top of the eighth inning to score five times and take the 7-2 lead. Ingham drove in two more runs while junior Dominic Severino drove in one. Freshman Matt Blandino drove in the first two runs of the frame for the Blue Devils to start the rally.
Neumann pitched seven innings to earn his team-leading fourth victory of the season. He struck out five and allowed four runs. Freshman Kevin Connolly earned the save relieving Ingham in the eighth with two men on and no outs. Ingham finished the game with three RBI, while Blandino drove in a pair. Sportman had two hits and scored twice.
The Blue Devils and Stags will play a single nine-inning game on Sunday at 1 p.m. in New Britain.

Recipe from the National Turkey Federation
1. Remove giblets and neck from turkey; reserve. Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well.
2. In blender, combine olive oil and lemon juice. While blending, drop in garlic cloves one at a time. Gradually add lemon zest. Continue to blend until mixture is pureed.
3. Using an injector, inject marinade into all parts of the thawed turkey. (Strain marinade if it is too thick to pass through the injector.)
4. Gently massage turkey to distribute marinade.
5. Place turkey in a large plastic bag (cooking bag or foodservice grade plastic bag). Close bag and refrigerate overnight.
6. Remove turkey and drain excess marinade. Scrape off excess marinade and discard. Do NOT re-use marinade to baste the turkey.
7. Fold neck skin and fasten to the back with 1 or 2 skewers. Fold the wings under the back of the turkey. Return legs to tucked position.
8. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a large shallow (about 2-1/2 inches deep) roasting pan. Rub turkey with salt and pepper.
9. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, being careful the pointed end of the thermometer does not touch the bone.
10. Roast the turkey in a preheated 325 degree F. oven about 3-3/4 hours. During the last hour of roasting time, baste with pan drippings. If necessary, loosely cover with foil to prevent excessive browning.
11. Continue roasting until the thermometer registers 180 degrees F. in the thigh, or 170 degrees F. in the breast. Remove turkey from the oven and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
12. Place on a warm large platter and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

My Bassetto II
1 - Both Dr. Nicolai, who has already been mentioned several times in other sections, and Josef Fröhlich, a candidate professor of music history, described the double bass tuning
G-D-A-E at the beginning of the 19th century. Nicolai wrote: "The smallest (double basses) are the so-called Halb-Violons, or German basses. They are tuned like the violin: g,d,a,e, and are now mainly used only in small towns for dance music". Fröhlich adopted this formulation almost word for word in the second edition of his work, the title of which melts in the mouth: "Vollstän-
dige theoretisch-praktische Musikschule für alle beym Orchester gebräuchlichen wichtigeren Instrumente zum Gebrauch für Musicdirectoren-Lehrer und Liebhaber systematisch, mit Benutzung der besten bisher erschienenen Anweisungen bearbeitet von J. Fröhlich, Professor und Director des Musik-Instituts an der großherzoglichen Universität zu Würzburg" (Complete theoretical and practical music tutor for all the more important instruments commonly used in the orchestra, for the use of music directors and teachers and lovers of music, systematically revised making use of the best instruction books that have so far appeared, by J. Fröhlich, Professor and Director of the Music Institute at the Grand-Ducal University of Würzburg).
2 - Alfred Stelzner, Léo Sir and Carleen Hutchins are not the only ones who have worked on a "Cello Bass" (see Cellone and Sous-Basse). There have always been, and still are today, attempts to establish new instruments which fill the gap between the violoncello and the double bass. One of these was the in-
vention of the "Bordicor" by P. J. Bordier. Unfortunately, the exact date of this does not emerge from the report available to me, but it seems likely to have been around the end of the 19th century. Bordier wrote of his instrument:
Paul Jean Bordier (1826-1909) and his "Bordicor"
Bordier´s instrument, in spite of its apparent qualities, did not succeed in becoming established. The reason for this, however, may have been that, with its length of about
2.3 metres and a shape that was similar to the
sound box of a harp, it represented a curiosity.
1- Following the production of the CD Songs, Chansons, Elegies, I have pre-
sented "my" bassetto to the concert-going public and the press in concerts and demonstrations, contrasting it with the traditional double bass. The question is often asked which of the two instruments is the bassetto. This has made it clear to me that it is difficult to convey to non-musicians that two different instruments can look the same. Certainly the difference in sound is clearly recognised, but it is seen as a drawback that the bassetto cannot be distinguished externally from the double bass.
2 - As well as the strings from the company Velvet, I also received specially manufactured strings from Pirastro. In spite of excellent sound qualities, I was never completely satisfied with the evenness of these strings. Apparently this is difficult to obtain in the G-D-A-E tuning with the normal double bass scale.
3 - With the new possibilities, my aspirations rose, both with regard to my own playing and to the selection of the pieces. For this reason too, I tended towards
a shorter scale.
I kept a look out for a historical "Halbbass". Tobias Festl of the company
by Johann Georg Thumhardt (end 18th cen-
tury), and has a vibrating string length of 94 cm. I am now gathering and evaluating experience with this instrument in concerts and recordings.
January 2006 The "World of Basses" generously allowed me an extended test period with Johann Georg Thumhardt´s instrument. I tried it in various different spaces and playing situations, and came to the following conclusions.
- The short scale brings fewer advantages than I had thought.
- Switching between the bassetto and the double bass is made more difficult by the difference in string lengths.
- The sound of the small bass is fine, but rather modest. It does not come through enough for solo playing.
- The lower strings are not "bassy" enough, there is a lack of depth. But this is important for me because I want to create a clear, full bass sound.
- It is apparent that construction in the gamba form (with a flat back plate) is less effective than in the violin form (with a convex back plate).
- The string length of 94 cm is too short.
- The body of the instrument tested is too small.
- Deep ribs – contrary to generally accepted opinion – do not increase the loudness of the instrument.
It gradually became clear to me that I should go my own way. Although it was my discovery of the historical G-D-A-E tuning that led to my experiments, I am not bound to any tradition, since solo playing on a "bass fiddle" tuned in fifths is something completely new. The instrument should therefore be designed to suit the intended use.
I made no further progress with historical small basses. I therefore decided to have a new instrument constructed. (See My Bassetto III " for more information)

Mourinho considering Drogba return
"We want to win matches and win titles and Didier is one of the best strikers in Europe. He is still very adapted to the needs of the Premier League and we are thinking about it in a non-emotional way." Drogba was named as Chelsea's greatest ever player in a poll of fans in 2012, having scored both the equaliser and the decisive shoot-out penalty as the Blues beat Bayern Munich in that year's Champions League final. But Mourinho stressed: "If you bring him back it is not because he is Didier or scored the most important goal in the history of Chelsea, or because I read I need an assistant, no. If I bring him back, and the decision has to be made soon, it is because as a player he has qualities to make the team stronger. "The team is not about the 11. It is about the different options and w ith Didier's profile, being a squad player I think he could be important for any team. "And because we know his heart is pushing him to where he feels he belongs, we are thinking about the possibility. (Chelsea owner Roman) Abramovich is very intelligent and he feels that people belong to the club. We feel that Didier belongs to us. "Is he coming back as a player one more year or a couple more years? Let's see." Drogba would join a crop of strikers including new signing Diego Costa as well as Romelu Lukaku and Victor Moses, who both spent last season out on loan. Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have departed the club this summer. Reports in recent days have linked the Ivory Coast striker, a free agent after leaving Galatasaray, with a return to Stamford Bridge. And Mourinho has now broken his silence on the matter, telling several national newspapers: "We think about it. Press Association Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that a possible return for Didier Drogba is in his thoughts.

Do you feel frustrated and annoyed after talking to any customer support? If your answer is yes, then you are not the only one with such feelings because most of the customer supports do lousy work and they just waste your time and they do everything in their power to annoy you. But there are some simple tricks that can help you get better customer support and that too without wasting your time. In case, you are wondering that those tricks are, stay tuned and you will find the answer.
Don't call them: If you want a quick and irritation free support form customer care, then it is a good idea that you do not call them. I am giving this suggestion because most of the customer care executives are quite dumb. Many companies actually outsource their customer support work and sometime your call could land to other continent because of this outsourcing. So, you can understand how much they will care for you or your problems. These customer care officers only care for their performance and many times they give you solution to you without understanding your problem. So, if you don't want an annoying customer support, it will be a good idea you don't call them.
Try the chat: Instead of calling to a customer care you should try to have a chat. These day's almost all these companies offer you a chance to connect with customer support by chat. This option is similar to call only and the other person could be at any place, but it is still better because you can do your other work while sharing your problem. Also, in this method you share your problem in writing that makes sure other person understand it in much better way. As far as response time is concerned, you get a solution in almost same time and sometime quicker as well. Also, the customer support on chat is bit more intelligent than their counterparts on call centres. So, this is certain that you will have much better and quicker support by this method.
Send an email: If your problem does not need immediate solution or if you can wait for 24 to 48 hours for a response, then sending an email is the best option. There are plenty of benefits that you get by sending an email to them. The first benefit is that, you just spend time for writing an email and you can share your preferred time for response. They will respond to you on your given time. Also, not all the people get access for mail and it remain in the hand of only few people that have understanding and authority as well to solve your problems. They can redirect the problem to right people and you can have quick solution without any irritation or time wastage.
Try twitter: Twitter is another good way of having good support from any customer care. In present time, almost all the companies have presence on twitter and if you just send a tweet to them in open, they will do everything to solve your problem. Twitter is a tool where you share your problem to one person but it reach to masses. That scare almost all the companies and that is why they don't stop till they resolve your problem. So, if you want a better customer support, then contacting them via twitter is another good way to do it and this is certain you will get the best support from them.
I am sure, these methods can help you get better support from any customer care and you will not have any annoying experience as well. And if you don't get good response from one method, then you can try another method as escalation and you will get support accordingly.
I hope it was helpful and informative for you. Please do share your opinion in the comment section below. And don't forget to subscribe for future updates as well.

LTS 2016 – 2017 Cohort Final Presentation: A Brief Summary
As the 2016-2017 LTS program comes to a close, the presentations are finished and the finalized projects are rolling in! As this year's cohort gets ready for their next big adventures in the wilds of language teaching around the globe, this final blog post for the Summer 2017 term will provide a brief glimpse of the hard work and dedication the graduates have put into bettering themselves as language educators, and into bettering the world of language education as a whole. If you missed out on the presentations this year, here is a small gallery of snapshots of each presenter's work!
As a means of "paying forward" all of the help and support that we received from our professors, fellow classmates, and previous cohorts, the 2016-2017 cohort wrote up a short collection of thoughts and suggestions for future/prospective students regarding the final presentations:
How did it feel leading up to the presentations?
"I was able to learn a lot from the other presentations I saw. I learned how to make a good introduction to my project." – Yan Deng
"It was definitely nerve wrecking at times. However, by this point in the program, I think us cohort members start viewing ourselves as a productive, contributing members of the field rather than students trying to play catch up, so I also viewed it as a chance to show what I could do as an educator." – George Minchillo
"I felt great since it was a showcase of all my work, and I was happy to share my project with the cohort and faculty. It was a final milestone, and I tried to do my best for the audience to be interested and engaged in what I was presenting." – Iryna Zagoruyko
How does it feel to know that you have the presentations behind you?
"I feel good because this was an opportunity to share what I have been engaged in for so long with the audience. After doing so many things during my time in LTS, I still felt supported when preparing for the presentations." – Lin Zhu
"I feel free at last! However, I do think back to some parts of my presentation that I think could have gone better." – Heidi Shi
"After doing the 2 year option and finally getting to the end of my final project and presentation, I feel exhilarated, excited, and exhausted! I'd been working on my project for a long time and it has morphed and evolved throughout my time in LTS. To present it in its final form in front of my peers, faculty, friends, and family was such an amazing feeling." – Becky Lawrence
"It is always a bit sad to be done with anything in life. But, I feel that I did everything I could in my project, and hope very much that it could be useful in teaching mixed classes of Russian. I hope activities from my project will be implemented in the REEES curriculum here at the UO." – Iryna Zagoruyko
What were the most difficult or the easiest parts of giving the presentations?
"I really tried to focus my presentation on entertaining the audience. I tried to leave out most of the minor details, and instead focus on showing the more 'flashy' parts of my project." – Dan White
"The easiest part for me was making the draft of the slides, because I have so many things that I can pick and choose from my whole project to put in the presentation. The most difficult part was tackling audience questions, because some of them were unexpected!" – Lin Zhu
"The easiest part for me was actually having the chance to show my project! The hardest part was having a lot of information, and choosing which ones I should include in the presentation." – Yan Deng
"For me, the most difficult part was having the confidence in the work I had done, and in portraying myself as an 'expert' in front of experts. The most useful part of the presentation was receiving additional feedback from peers and faculty that could be implemented in the final revisions of the project." – George Minchillo
Any suggestions for future cohorts?
"For future cohorts, I would advise you to start thinking of project ideas early. Be creative, and try to combine your passions and interests with sound language teaching pedagogy. Take advantage of the built-in support of a cohort system, and ultimately just enjoy the process, because it will fly by before you know it!" – Becky Lawrence
"Prepare ahead of time, practice at least five times, and don't make the slides too text-heavy! Be confident in yourself :)" – Heidi Shi
"Have confidence in the work you've done. You will undoubtedly be one of the most well-read and knowledgeable people about your context and materials in the room!" – George Minchillo
"Even though at this stage in the program, you will have completed 98% of your project. However, adequate time should be set aside to prepare for the presentation." – Lin Zhu
"Enjoy the moment! Be nice to your cohort! They will be the greatest wealth in your academic life." – Yan Deng
"Definitely be serious about your project! View it not only as an exercise, but strive to do everything possible to 'break the ground' in your field and context. Do not underestimate yourself – you have all the potential to create great activities/course designs for somebody to use in their teaching!" – Iryna Zagoruyko
A Fond Farewell
No matter where we go, and no matter what we do in the future, let's always remember and think back to the knowledge, experience, and camaraderie we shared with one another as we grew into professional educators together. Even if we lose contact, or never find ourselves in a shared space again, we can always provide inspiration to one another to achieve our best, and to work hard to mold the world of academia as we see fit! For these reasons, I believe it is not necessary to say goodbye, but simply to say good luck to the 2016 – 2017 LTS cohort. I know we will all move on to do great things!
Thank you to my cohort members for all of their support! I hope to see you all again soon.
George Minchillo

Microsoft Considering Whether to Bring Office to Apple's Mac App Store
Microsoft says it continues to be pleased with sales of the Mac version of Office, but has not yet decided whether to offer the product or any of its components in the Mac version of the App Store, which launched earlier this month. Similar to the iPhone store, the App Store for Mac puts Apple in the position of retailer, taking a 30 percent cut of sales.
"It's something we are looking at," Microsoft's Amanda Lefebvre told Mobilized. However, the company said its product is already available in lots of places as well as via the Web–including in a new, free 30-day trial version.
"It's something we haven't ruled out," she said. "We just have to see how that relates to our business."
In its absence, visitors to the App Store are given prominent options to buy Apple's rival iWork components–Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
Microsoft is just starting to bring Office to the iPhone. Last week the company released an iPhone version of its OneNote note-taking program as a free download in the iOS App Store. Microsoft didn't commit to releasing other titles for the iPhone, but said it is committed to bringing Office to more types of devices.
"You can absolutely expect Office to expand its presence across other platforms," Microsoft senior director Jason Bunge said in an interview.

Connecticut boys killed by grandmother are celebrated at packed service
NORTH STONINGTON -- The two Connecticut boys killed by their grandmother in a murder-suicide last week were remembered at a service featuring a slideshow of pictures from their short lives.
The Second Baptist Church in North Stonington was packed Tuesday with people who came to celebrate the lives of 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton Perry.
Police say the boys' grandmother, 47-year-old Debra Denison, shot and killed them on Feb. 26 with a revolver before turning the gun on herself.
The Day of New London reports that the pews were packed and the walls were lined with people who couldn't find a seat.
Relatives performed country songs and the readings included stories of biblical figures who lost their children for a greater purpose.


text: The semi-automatic modelling framework, as implemented in the Python code PTS. Only the steps indicated in red cannot completely be automated and thus required manual intervention. At the top of the diagram, the different input sources are displayed. Observed images for the target galaxy can be automatically retrieved from the DustPedia database, but any other image data can also be placed in the modelling environment and included in the procedures. To prepare the images, the 2MASS point sources catalog and the IRSA service provide the pipeline with foreground star positions and dust extinction values respectively. A 2D decomposition of the diffuse stellar component in the galaxy can be automatically retrieved from the S4G catalog. If a Spitzer 3.6 or 4.5 micron image is not available and thus a S4G composition canno be obtained, custom decomposition results can be used instead based on other NIR data. The input maps of the disk components are automatically generated by the pipeline based on well-established prescriptions. A map of the old stellar bulge component, rendered by SKIRT, is used to obtain a map of the old stars in the disk of the galaxy. Crucial in the map making step is the FUV attenuation map. Ingredients to this map are a sSFR colour (the preferential colour is indicated in bold, though other colours can be used depending on the availability and quality of the data) and a TIR map (created by combining multiple MIR/FIR bands without limiting the resolution too much). The maps and 3D bulge description define the geometry of the RT model, together with appropriate scale heights for each of the disk components. The RT model is further constrained with a wavelength grid, an instrument setup (based on the pixelscale of the lowest resolution map), and a dust grid structure (based on the pixelscale of the highest resolution map). This basic RT model definition is supplied to SKIRT, with different normalizations of the stellar and dust components. The ranges of these free parameters are defined around values found with a global SED fit based on the observed photometry. Each simulation that represent a certain set of normalization values is evaluated by creating mock fluxes from the simulated SEDs and datacubes.

The Grimaldi soap: Prince Albert in a lather
Issued on: Modified:
Much of the press leads on the Brussels summit on Thursday which ended in agreement on a second Greek bailout. Reaction is largely positive - the eurozone has been brought back from the brink. But there's criticism, too, about the direction Europe is taking. There's also the latest in the UK's phone hacking scandal, and a look at a royal spin in Monaco. That's the focus for Friday, 22nd July 2011.
Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins slams Thursday's eurozone agreement in his piece: "Monetary union, always unworkable has set in train a European disaster". He argues the eurozone - after the Brussels summit - is one step nearer to a doomed fiscal union. "This is the true turning point", he says, towards a "brittle unitary state". "If European politics starts to implode and returns to xenophobia, manned borders, ethnic cleansings and trade boycotts, that start is now," he says.
The Guardian's front page headline is "James Murdoch misled MPs, say former News of the World editor and lawyer". Two former News of the World executives claim the evidence Murdoch gave to a British parliamentary committee on Tuesday in relation to an out-of-court settlement was "mistaken". Meanwhile, James's dad, News Corp CEO and Chairman Rupert Murdoch, is the target of the cartoonists. The International Herald Tribune has a cartoon with the words "NEWS" in very large letters and underneath a forlorn Rupert Murdoch saying: "How was I supposed to know?" USA Today International shows him standing up in a rubbish bin saying: "Phone hacking goes against everything I stand in … er … stand for".
The Huffington Post headlines "Somalia: Famine, Al-Shabaab Complicate U.S. Food Delivery In Face of Severe Malnutrition". It says international organisations are looking for alternative solutions to work around American restrictions on delivering funds to terrorist organizations. Many of those in need are in areas controlled by the Islamist militant group al Shabab. A comment piece in the Bahrain paper The Gulf Daily News says this "first famine of the 21st century was not a horrible surprise sprung on the world". The writer Jennifer Gnana says the extent of desertification was known fourteen years ago. She acknowledges the lawlessness and extremism in Somalia but argues the world has failed Somalia.
And the Grimaldi soap continues. Britain's Daily Telegraph leads "Prince Albert II of Monaco dismisses marriage rumours". He has said they're being spread by people who are "jealous" of his family and lavish royal lifestyle. And the Monaco Times leads: "A prince indignant". It reports that Prince Albert II briefed the press immediately on return from his honeymoon in southern Africa, saying the constant rumours were "simply not acceptable". South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock – now Princess Charlene – and Albert slept apart one night on their honeymoon, and there were reports the bride attempted to leave Monaco two days before their wedding.

Rebel Fleet in the OT
November 10, 2003, 10:00 AM »
In ANH were the Fighters that were on Yavin the only Fighters in the ENTIRE Rebel Fleet?
Also does anybody have a guess/reasonable belief of what the size of the Rebel Fleet was during each movie? And it's composition? (Frigates, cruisers, carriers etc)
I am reading "Empire" the Comic series and the Biggs story is getting me thinking.
Another Question is "Where did the Y_Wings come from?" We are told in a couple sources that the XWings are stolen from InCom, but what about the Y-Wings...They still show up in Jedi so they have to coming from somewhere...

I'm not sure where the fighters came from, but I would say that the fighters we see at Yavin do not represent the entire rebel fleet.
I'm sure there are many different cells of the Alliance organization, perhaps with only certain leaders (Dodonna, Mon Mothma) knowing the location of them all. The Yavin base was probably the only one Leia knew about.
I'm not sure if any of the Alliance Frigates/Crusiers/Carriers were even at Yavin, since we only see the Rebels using one-man fighters to engage the Death Star. Though its been suggested that we only see a small part of the Yavin Battle.
I don't think we see the Alliance put all their eggs in one basket until the Battle of Endor, which adds to the desperation of it.

A lot of this depends on the old point of view...
The rebels are descirbed basically as a smaller military force than the Empire, but people thinking in "Earth terms" may mistake that to mean they're REALLY a small force, like only a handful of vessels or whatnot.
The thing is, in comparison to the Empire, even MILLIONS or possibly Billions of individuals, multiple fleets, tons of fighters, etc., could/would be considered much smaller than the Empire itself.
For instance, if you follow the X-Wing series, or other EU that are similar then the Rebels have their own shipyards, t heir own safeworlds, their own infrastructure beyond the Empire... It's not as vast, it's not as easily defended, and it's not as cost effective for the Alliance but it's still formidable enough to wage war within the outer rim territories with sporatic incursions and campaigns into the deeper sectors of the Imperial Space/Galaxy.
My personal opinion is the Alliance has multiple fleets, multiple bases (with the "Secret" Yavin and Echo bases being a primary military strategic "platform" with which to leap fast and devastating larger-scale engagements into Core Imperial areas that wreak havoc... Thus the bases need to be kept secret (Because they're also easily accessible by the Empire if they find them) and they're sort of a "front line" center.
But, like I said, it depends on your POV about things. Some people, for instance, take the fleet at Endor in ROTJ to be the ENTIRE Rebel Fleet at the time.
I personally feel the fleet at Endor was a composite fleet, possibly made up of the command ships and "best" picket ships of various fleets, and at the same time multiple (dozens even perhaps) Rebel Fleets are in operation elsewhere, as are multiple rebel bases... Some even known to the Empire (Like the Shipyards of Mon Calamari for instance), but which would require HUGE campaigns to overtake...
Thus, the Alliance's main tactic is still hit/fade and guerilla tactics... War of attrition will always favor the weaker side. And thus the Rebels deathly feared the Death Star... It's abilities against fleet attacks and its ability to travel and destroy uncivil worlds would make it the ultimate weapon to take what little (Baring in mind this is all in comparison to the Empire still) the Alliance had.
Think of it this way... Imagine the support ONE world like Earth could give to the Alliance. Millions of troops, tons of equipment like ships or armor, clothing, food, financial support... One planet could make just fighters and supply the Alliance with fighters for years... Now imagine how many planets are in support of the Alliance and can generate just as much or more for the Alliance War Effort.
The possibilities are pretty huge...
Now, take that and multiply it by some outrageous factor and you have what the EMPIRE is supplied with, and you see how the Alliance is only small in comparison to the Empire, but the Alliance is by no means a "tiny" military of ragtag soldiers... It's all the whole "galactic" thing that makes it a lot larger thing to consider.
The best sources I've seen for this, if taken with some grain of salt and your own creativity, are the West End Games sourcebooks and some of the video games. They tend to put the galactic conflicts into perspective on this huge scale, whereas the movies only show the conflict on a very focused/tiny measure in comparison.

Oh, as far as fleet compositions, the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook from WEG gave a nice diagram of what a REbel Picket line would look like, right down to the fighter escort. Seems reasonable to me... Scale in the silhouettes could be off though as WEG was notoriously inaccurate.
Rebel fleet composition could include any # of various vessels though... Refits, captures, mutinied, or constructed at Rebel ship yards/safe planets...
I'd wager the Nebulon B, Corvette, and MC80-series Cruisers are the top vessels since that's what we see most prominently at Endor...
X-Wing/TIE Fighter series of flight sims lists multiple other vessels in use by BOTH sides though, including MOdified Nebulon B's, Modified Vettes, Corellian Gunships, Dreadnaughts, Assault Frigates, right on down to various transport vessels being used by both sides as well.
One of my favorites is in the new Rebel Strike game, which introduced an Imperial Gunship that's, for a large vessel, fairly maneuverable, but has a poor firing arc... Definitely a pain in large #'s though.
If I can scan and somehow post a picture, I'll get a shot of that picket line in this thread for evaluation by the group.

I'd like to take a look at the picket line, I've always wondered what the ratio looked like... I always figured Yavin was a small cell - that's how it remained secret from the Empire, right?

Small, but I mean check out the medal ceremony at the end... They were packed with troops, and were capable of handling themselves...
I'd say a small front line force able to wreak havoc on Imperial shipping, supply, and any other aspect of their infrastructure. Communications raids, shipyard raids, assassination, etc... They had enough pilots there to be pulling sorties left and right across the inner-rim territories where the Empire had dominance, and still race back and hide.
Unless the Empire had developed a way to track them without physically placing something on a vessel, they'd be at the mercy of these guerilla raids in space.
For instance, our current situation in Iraq's much the same. Small pocket's (In comparison to us) are pulling the little hit & fade junk left and right. Terrible way to wage war, but it's always how the small guy does.
BTW, this is the fun stuff I love about talking here... You guys know what I'm saying, and I know what you guys are saying, and it's civil. There's a first time for everything!
Wish there were more like you guys (Especially with the military background interest) invovled in our little niche.

Here is my theory on the ROTJ Fleet as welll....since Mon Mothma says that the Empire is stretched across the Galaxy in a vain effort to engage the Rebels, I would assume that apart from the Fleet we see in the Movie, that there are at least 2 other small or medium sized fleets out in the Rim or Core jumping into a system, doing some damage or even attempting a blockade and then scooting out before any large number of Imperial Vessels can get there to confont them. Basically there are Rebels and Imperials fighting all over the galaxy that we never see or hear about.
I like Jesse's threory on the Yavin Forward Base. It also explains why there were not any/many Rebel Capital ships that we see. Either they knew that the Death Star was going to be able to take them out, or they thought a large number of capital ships would arouse suspicion. Escepcially out there in the middle of nowhere.
It also explains why the Rebels always have ships that have Hyperdrives. If you can send an entire fighter/bomber group to a target without needing to piggyback on a carrier, you have less assets to be destroyed/lost in an engagement.

I've had the thought that there was a galaxy-wide synchronized insurrection on all Imperial-controlled planets shortly before the Battle of Endor began. This would explain why the Empire was spread so thin at that time.
There may have even been a surreptitious war of disinformation going on behind the scenes to lure the Imperials into thinking there were going to be several specific incidents at certain places. We know the Emperor fed disinformation to the rebellion in order to trap their best ships between a line of warships and a much-improved, fully functional Death Star, so disinformation was certainly being utilized.
This may even explain why the Emperor planned to make the Death Star the new seat of power of the Empire. He may have been expecting an insurrection on Coruscant, making his retreat necessary. Let the rebels have Corsucant for the moment, but when there's a planet-destroying battlestation in orbit, they'll be under his control again.
If all planets in the Empire that had a significant enough rebel presence were to have an uprising at the same time, then it makes sense that there would be less Imperial forces present at the top secret Death Star project (which was supposed to be a simple victory). The Emperor underestimated just how many people hated his regime.

I think a point Jesse brought up before really shows in the ROTJ final battle. The fact that a Military Advisor was not on the set was really evident.
In ANH and ESB we see the battles taking place pretty much like they would if you were going to "map" them out. In ANH you had certain elements of the Attack Squadron going after the Anti-Aircraft Guns, you had one group going after the Fighter Screen and another after the target. Fairly Textbook stuff.
IN ESB on Hoth you have Skirmishers or guys at a listening post running back to the main line of defense being followed by Recon Elements of the empire, etc etc.
But in ROTJ the ships are not formed up the way a Navy Battle Group would be assembled. I mean first off, why was the Medical Frigate even there? Why wouldn't the Medical and Support Craft not jump in until they got a signal (assuming there is a Space Geneva Convention that states that Medical Ships can't be armed) The ships don't have picket lines or any type of screen for the capital ships.
I have to go and watch the space battle again (oh dang it

I haven't had to deal with certificates & TM ART yet, so I can't help you there, but regarding the Gmail issues - it could be those embedded web analytics that Google uses, they don't really like monitors like the TM ART virtual user at all. I usually put
WebSetDomainSuppress("google.com google-analytics.com googleadservices.com");
at the start of my scripts, because many of our clients use those Google analytics services for getting information about visitors. Though using that of course makes monitoring a Google site a bit hard, heh...

It is only necessary to import a certificate into the Workbench if the site you are recording requires client-side certificates.
When you record a site that uses server-side certificates, you will (should!) get a warning from the browser you are using. This is because, during the recording process only, the recorder is a "man in the middle" eavesdropping on the conversation between the browser and the web server.
During recording the traffic that the browser sees is coming from the recorder and not from the destination website so the cert doesn't match the site the browser is seeing. This is normal and only happens during recording as this is the only time there are three parties involved in the "conversation".

Hi Hal,
Yes, yes. I can see a warning on each time the browser loads new page. A warning which ask us to chose an option to close the webpage or continue to the website.
So on other words can i say that it's safe to just choose to continue whenever we see this warning and record everything as per normal?
I just worry that this clicking this, the recorder will save this clicking activity and monitor will have problem in the long run. (Though I dont have proof yet on this)
Thanks a lot,
5. TMART How you deal with Secured (https) websitesHal DeVore Mar 2, 2012 1:48 PM (in response to EP NameToUpdate)
When recording Web Applications, the recorder does not see or record click actions, it only sees and records the protocol exchanges between the application being recorded (the browser) and the server that the application is talking to.
The popup warning you are seeing is generated by the browser when it sees a mismatch between the domain where the certificate says the traffic should be coming from and where it is actually coming from. From the browser's point of view during recording the traffic is coming from the recorder and not the correct site. Since it is only a popup and not traffic, the recorder does not see it.

Just a note that when the browser initially calls the URL it is blocked and when you click continue it resubmits the call resulting in 2 recorded cals where there should only be one. I typically will start the recording at url "about:blank" so that I can then pause the recorder, enter the intended url, get security warning, start recording, contiinue to web site. This results in the recorder seeing only 1 call to the URL.Alternativly you can just add a note to the script before you click continue so that you know there is a duplicate function call right there.

Colorado to study oil and gas emissions
DENVER – Environmentalists say newly proposed state-sponsored studies of emissions tied to oil and gas development announced Wednesday are too little, too late, and amount to using people as "lab rats" to determine if they may be suffering health problems because of drilling.
The studies were announced during hearings by regulators this week that questioned the science needed for making rules.
The project is expected to provide information about how oil and gas emissions travel and their behavior in areas along the northern Front Range, which has become a hotbed for drilling. A second phase is expected to assess possible health effects.
State officials said Wednesday that testimony during this week's Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rulemaking hearing reinforced views of industry and environmental experts that better science is needed for oil and gas emissions.
"This study marks another important step in our aggressive efforts to ensure oil and gas development is conducted with the highest standards of environmental protection," said Mike King, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
Mike Chiropolos, who represented a coalition of environmental groups at the hearing, said heart-wrenching testimony from property owners who believe they have been harmed by drilling operations failed to sway regulators who are considering exceptions to the rules.
"Everybody agrees more studies are needed, but the state has not been doing its job. Regulators have been hearing from citizens of Colorado who don't like living in a science experiment while these studies continue. They don't like being lab rats," Chiropolos said after the meeting.
In May, a Denver district court judge threw out a lawsuit filed by a family from the Western Slope claiming oil and gas drilling caused illnesses. The judge said lawyers for the family failed to provide enough evidence of chemical exposure or any proof the drilling company was responsible. The family said fumes and water contamination caused burning eyes and throats, rashes and headaches.
King said Wednesday that strong science is needed along with strong regulation to build public confidence in an industry that is critical to Colorado's economy.
Last year, Colorado developed a national model for the disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluids. Regulators also opened a water-quality database to the public and strengthened rules to reduce emissions.
This week, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission approved rules that the commission says are among the strongest in the country for monitoring and protecting groundwater.
The commission also is considering steps to limit drilling impacts near occupied buildings following concerns from property owners that such drilling would harm their quality of life.
Dr. Chris Urbina, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said his agency will work with Colorado State University on the study. It will be similar to an ongoing university-led study of oil and gas emissions in Garfield County on Colorado's Western Slope.
The first phase of the study is projected to span three years, from July through June 2016. A second phase to develop a health risk assessment would begin in 2016.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, an industry supporter, is seeking $1.3 million from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission's Environmental Response Fund to get the project off the ground. The money for that fund comes from oil and gas development.

The new standalone version of the infamous mod is now available on Steam's Early Access program, so I went to have a look at what changed. The answer: better graphics and even less supplies to be found.
I played some of the original mod, so I was excited to try the standalone version. It definitely feels more stable than the mod, and looks better too, even with this early build. Though that may be, it doesn't mean there are any more powdered milk packets or bullets for you to find. I can't wait to start hearing people's crazy stories.

A woman who had moved to Chicago last March died early today after she unwittingly went up an elevator as a fire was blasting through the 12th floor of the high-rise apartment where she lived, officials said.
When the doors to the elevator opened, Shantel McCoy -- who was returning to her apartment with a bag of food -- was hit with 1,500-degree temperatures from gas and fire fumes and killed, said Fire Department Chief Joe Roccasalva, a department spokesman.
The fire in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood also injured nine others early Sunday morning, according to authorities.
Firefighters were called to the 21-story building at 3130 North Lake Shore Dr. about 2 a.m., said Roccasalva.
The fire began in a unit on the 12th floor. A man and woman were awoken by their smoke detector and noticed that the fire was tearing through their living room, said Roccasalva.
The man and woman along with a dog managed to escape the apartment but the door to the unit did not close, which allowed the fire to spread through the hallway, he said. The man was treated for smoke inhalation while the woman refused medical attention, he said. It is believed that the dog survived.
"The door of the apartment that was on fire didn't close when they left and all the heat and gases and smoke poured into the hallway. When the elevator door opened up, she just got blasted," said Roccasalva.
Officials with the Cook County medical examiner's office determined today that McCoy died of carbon monoxide intoxication and inhalation of smoke and soot.
Older residential buildings in Chicago are not required to have sprinkler systems installed, according to the city. Older residential buildings can either install sprinkler systems or they can be evaluated and other safety upgrades can be put in place, according to a building department spokesman.
The city council recently passed an extension which put off until 2015 the deadline for when building owners need to have the work done, according to the spokesman. The deadline for the implementation process had been set for this month.
An employee of the building's management company, Planned Property Management, declined to comment at the scene. The company's president and chief executive officer, Robert Buford, was appointed to the city's Community Development Commission in July.
McCoy, 32, had moved from Philadelphia to Chicago after she had been laid off from her job the previous year with an accounting firm in Philadelphia. She was looking for a new place to start over, said her mother JoAnn.
"She said, I'm moving to Chicago mom," her mother recalled.
The woman had friends in Chicago and had visited several times over the years and liked the vitality of the city, said JoAnn.
The woman spent 100 days at sea with a school program where she spent a semester and visited 10 countries, including India and Africa, said her mother.
That's where she got the travel bug and since then has visited the Bahamas three times and for her 30th birthday traveled to Switzerland alone, her mother said.
She picked Chicago to join several of her college friends who had moved here.
"She was just ready to relocate to a new city," said her mother. "She just picked Chicago to move to. She loved the city and of the several cities she was looking to relocate to, she picked Chicago."
Once here, she got a job with the Wirtz Beverage Group and her mother believes she worked as a sales representative.
McCoy went to the University of Pittsburgh where she earned a bachelor's degree in marketing and then went to the University of Phoenix in Philadelphia, where she earned her MBA, her mother said. She was the first person in her family to earn an advanced degree, said her mother.
"My whole family is proud of her," said her mother as she broke down on the telephone. "She was very much accomplished. She had a real good personality."
She had a brother, who is about to join the U.S. Air Force and two half-siblings, said her mother, a long-time U.S. Postal Service employee.
JoAnn McCoy said she last spoke to her daughter yesterday afternoon when they talked about the family. Her daughter told her she had planned to stay home last night.
The two were "very close" and talked to each other about three or four times a week. She was the woman's only daughter and was born on Easter Sunday in 1979.
"I asked her, 'Was she going out' and she said, 'Mom I do stay home sometimes,' " her mother said. "She was always on the go and always doing things and she was involved in a lot of organizations."
Later, she texted her daughter at about 8 p.m. Chicago time and her daughter told her she was home relaxing. She found out today that she had gone out with a female friend.
JoAnn had texted her daughter pictures of herself from her cell phone and Shantel texted back a response where she good-naturedly chided her mother, 'Mom, you love posing for the camera.' That's the last time we contacted each other," her mother said.
Firefighters found the woman in an elevator on the 12th floor. The doors were open.
Fire officials have not yet determined the cause of the blaze, Roccasalva said, and that the cause likely wouldn't be determined until Monday. But fire officials do not believe the origin to be suspicious, he said.
Two firefighters were among the injured in the blaze. One was taken from the scene in fair-to-serious condition and the other was taken in good-to-fair condition, Roccasalva said. One of the two firefighters suffered exhaustion and the nature of the other firefighter's injuries wasn't known, Roccasalva said. Neither of the injuries is serious, he said.
Six other people were taken to area hospitals in fair-to-serious condition, he said. He said their injuries involved smoke inhalation.
About 150 firefighters responded to the 2-11 alarm fire. An Emergency Medical Services Plan 2 was also called, which calls for 11 ambulances to the scene.
The EMS Plan 1, which calls for six ambulances to the scene, was upgraded after more people suffered from smoke inhalation, Roccasalva said.
Residents displaced from the building were being kept warm in Chicago Transit Authority buses staged a block away or in a neighboring building's lobby, which was holding between 60 and 70 people, Roccasalva said.
Fire was blowing out the windows in the unit when firefighters arrived, he said.
A woman who had moved to Chicago last March died early today after she unwittingly went up an elevator as a fire was blasting through the 12th floor of the high-rise apartment where she lived, officials said.

HHHTime Travelers,
With the 4th quarter upon us and several projects from tons of amazing people still awaiting release, HHHT gets into a few in particular that we're eye-spyin' for.
Oh Clipse, this one better be good.
I've said this before on this blog, but I'll reiterate one more time. I'm a huge Clipse fan. Really and truly I am. Like, I've gone on record as saying that as far as Street lyricists are concerned, they're the closest thing we've had to Wu-Tang in a long long time. HOWEVER, that last Re-Up gang record was not only unfocused in terms of production and direction, but lyrically they were barely punching their way out of that proverbial wet paper bag (see 'Fast Life' produced by Scott Storch). And to that end…I'm scared. Nonetheless, I've heard 3 cuts off the album thus far and have been relatively content. Perhaps because they've all been Neptunes beats and that's, at the end of the day, what I think the Clipse should sound like. Also, Mr. 'Bison in his studio', the legendary Rick Rubin is overseeing this album so I can only hope that means any loose ends the Star Trak boys miss, Rick's holdin down. Anyway, here's a new cut featuring Pharrell and the former Dipset General, Cam'ron, whaddya think?
THE CLIPSE – POPULAR DEMAND (POPEYE'S) ft. PHARRELL & CAM'RON
Jack Davey & Brook D'Leau, better known as J*Davey have been a favorite group of mine ever since I saw them perform at this little spot in Toronto some years back.
A clash of about a half dozen genres in one, they were just starting to get their buzz in the scene when the Roots, who obviously felt they were of a particular quality decided to bring them on the Beginner's Guide… tour. Unfortunately for them, when they reached Toronto, the type of music they did matched with the venue they were performing at and the audience that was in attendance made for a vinegar/oil type of situation as these 2 were completely drowned out with Boo's for damn near the entirety of their set. However, unlike most acts that would've packed it up mid-way through the shit storm, they persevered through and finished the set graciously. Score 1 for J*Davey. Then, a smart move on their part, they booked a show the next night here in a much smaller club and they absolutely demolished. They then went on to feature on the Roots next record Game Theory (which is in IMO their best record to date), the late great J Dilla's Dilla Loves Japan EP, and release 2 EP's to critical acclaim. Now, after being picked up by Warner, their preparing to drop their first full length (apparently) soon. In the meantime, here's some new ish.
I'm not gonna say ANYTHING about this. Just watch the video below and digest it yourself cause I'm still convulsing.
I'll be posting webisodes from the recording sessions on a regular from now on in. GET FAMILIAR!
This is kinda old news but for those who don't know…Allhiphop.com and Jumpoff.TV have been doing a series called '48 Hours' where they follow major artists on the first 2 days of releasing a brand new album. Thus far, the people they've picked have been interesting and the series has been relatively entertaining. For your viewing pleasure, I thought I'd start posting these up and give you a behind the scenes look at some serious players hard at work.
We start with a Kiss…
We tha ish folk. There's no denyin it.
HHHT all day e'yday.
Be well world.

I'm interested in buying a hybrid and want to know if there all like this or if they verry or if it's just another ploy to keep us buying gas guzzler's. Thanks. Chuck

River North
River North is a neighborhood in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. It is bound by Michigan Avenue to the east, Chicago Avenue to the north, and the Chicago River to the south and west.
River North previously was named Smokey Hollow around the turn of the 20th century due to the many factories and forges in the area. The smoke was often so thick that sunlight was blocked. At the time Smokey Hollow was a major transportation hub with railroad tracks linking the ports along the Chicago River with the surrounding areas. The Merchandise Mart still has railroad tracks underneath the building. Massive coal bins were throughout the neighborhood both bringing coal into the area from ships and storage for all the ships. The Merchandise Mart was a major storage warehouse for goods. Montgomery Ward had a major transportation and storage facility in River North.
Little Sicily in Chicago was also located in River North. The first Italian Roman Catholic Church in Chicago was Assumption on Illinois Street, with a mandate to be the Parish for all Italians from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. Later Sicilians began to move north from the immediate vicinity of Assumption and began to form their own Parishes north. Italians whose family roots were from other parts of Italy tended to move west along Grand Street and formed Parishes west of Assumption.
The River North neighborhood got its name from Chicago real estate developer Albert Friedman (chief executive of Friedman Properties Ltd.), who in 1974 started to buy, restore and build commercial property in the southeast sector. Much of the area was skid row at the time, so in an effort to attract tenants Friedman started calling the area "River North". Within a few years, Friedman found photographers, ad agencies and art galleries willing to rent the low cost space and coalesce into what is now the The River North Gallery District, which has the largest concentration of art galleries in the United States outside of Manhattan. Along with hundreds of art galleries, the area holds many bars, dance clubs, popular restaurants, and entertainment venues. Between the year 2000 and 2010, the population in the four census tracts covering River North increased by an average of nearly 82%, boosting population from 9,835 in 2000 to 17,892 in 2010.
Subsections of River North include:
- the gallery district, primarily along Superior and Huron streets between Wells and Orleans;
- a theme-restaurant area with many tourist-oriented restaurants, surrounding Clark and Ontario;
- "the Cathedral District", an area with many new residential skyscrapers surrounding Holy Name Cathedral (Catholic) and St. James Cathedral (Episcopal), located near State and Superior, and Huron and Wabash, respectively;
- a design district, with shops and showrooms selling commercial and luxury interior furnishings, in the blocks north of the Merchandise Mart; and
- Kingsbury Park, an area of newly built residential high-rises surrounding Montgomery Ward Park, at Erie Street and the Chicago River.
River North is serviced by four "L" train stations: the above-ground Chicago-Brown and Merchandise Mart-Brown stations and the below-ground Chicago-Red and Grand-Red stations.

Any good way to remove DNase?
Posted 11 March 2009 - 08:09 PM
Posted 12 March 2009 - 03:08 AM
After several times of failure in R.E digestion, I suspect that my plasmid is degraded by DNase since the host strain is not a endA- one. Can anyone suggest a good way to remove/inactivate DNase after mini-prep without affecting downstream cloning process (R.E digestion etc)? Thanks a lot.
what kind of extraction method are you using?
In general to overcome this problem is to work fast during the extract protocol. keep the sample on ice. Use cooled reagents. Increasing the molarity of EDTA used would also help. These steps would slow down the plasmid degradation.
I would use phenol chloroform extraction to inactivate the DNAse.

Do your miniprep like normal and then incubate your prep at 65-70 degrees for 20 minutes and you're all set.
ya i do miniprep as usual. i will try you method tommorrow. It seems that it is much more easier. Thanks a lot
Posted 12 March 2009 - 07:52 AM
The easiest thong to do would be to retransform your intact plasmid into a endA- host, and work on it from there. Will your plasmid replicate in E. coli?
my plasmid contain R6K replicon which only replicate in e.coli lambda pir strains (e.g S17 lambda pir and CC118 lambda pir), unfortunately, both strains are endA+. I really wish I had a lambda pir endA- host

The American Benefits Council (ABC) is taking issue with a new enforcement policy issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) that it says "challenges" the health of the defined benefit system and introduces "vast" new requirements not contemplated by Congress.
Lynn Dudley, senior vice president of policy for ABC, said Friday that while ABC appreciates PBGC's attempts to "modernize" its enforcement policy for companies that cease their operations, "we continue to have serious concerns about the agency's philosophy and approach."
Under ERISA Section 4062(e), Dudley said, "if an employer with a pension plan shuts down operations at a facility, and as a result of that shutdown, more than 20% of the employer's employees who are plan participants are separated from employment, the employer is required to provide the PBGC with short-term security in the form of a bond or escrow amount based on the plan's unfunded termination liability."
The new policy targets enforcement requirements to plans that are at the most risk and aims to reduce requirements elsewhere by "using measures of financial soundness" such as credit rating, Dudley says.
"While this policy may provide relief to some creditworthy companies, the approach presents a number of fundamental challenges to the continued health of the defined benefit pension system," she said.
The proposed regulations—and the new enforcement policy—"demonstrate a basic misinterpretation of the ERISA statute itself by radically redefining what is a 'cessation of operations' and introducing vast new requirements that were not contemplated by Congress," Dudley said.
The PBGC's enforcement policy is "flawed," Dudley argues, "since it is being initiated under proposed regulations that have not yet been finalized or amended with the benefit of comments from the public." The Council, Dudley said, urged withdrawal and reproposal of these regulations in an October 2010 comment letter.

St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery is one of Manhattan's most interesting and mysterious links to early New York history. This East Village church was built in 1799 atop the location of the original chapel of Peter Stuyvesant, New Amsterdam's peg-legged director-general.
His descendants -- with the help of Alexander Hamilton and the architect of City Hall -- built this new chapel with the intention of serving the local farming community of Bowery Village. But in many ways, the more thrilling tales occur among the honeycomb of burial vaults underneath the church, the final resting place of vice presidents, mayors, and even Peter himself.
St. Mark's reflected the changes that swept through Greenwich Village during the 20th century, with experimental and sometimes scandalous church activities, from hypnotism, modern dance and even a trippy foray into psychedelic Christian rock.
ALSO: Find out why you can never EVER go down into the vault of the Peter Stuyvesant. And why is the church IN the Bowery, not ON the Bowery?

text: We have been raising labradors off and on for the last 15 years. We started out as mainly hobby breeder's only owning one or two labs at a time. Which usually only produced one or two litters a year depending on how many labs we had at the time. I guess you could still consider us hobby breeder's we just have more dogs now. Before going to college I had always wanted to pursue training and raising labradors for a living. So, after college I decided to do just that. I grew up with labs, and wouldn't have it any other way. I don't understand why anyone would want to own any other breed. Don't take that the wrong way, I am definitely a dog lover. But I definitely take a lot of pride and joy in my dogs, breeding them to be both great hunters, and family pets. All of the dogs I own are fed Loyall which is a dog food that is comparable to Iams or Science Diet. Each and everyone of my dogs get their annual shots and vet check ups, and all of my dogs will have their hips and eyes checked when they reach the right age. None of the females that I own will be bred more than once a year on purpose, I say on purpose because accidents do happen. But I don't intend to do that because I feel like it is hard on the dogs and can really wear on them over time. I know of some breeder's that do this and I can't think of any other word but cruel. I'm telling you this because I really don't want people to think that it is just about the money, and that I don't care about the dogs. We are not a puppy factory, and we will never be one! I treat everyone of my dogs like they are part of the family. So whether your looking for a great hunting dog or just a new addition to the family you are sure to find the right puppy for you here!

Central American Black Organization (CABO)
XVI General Assembly
December 1- 4, 2010
The Central American Black Organization (CABO) opened its XVI General Assembly meeting in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica on Wednesday, December 1st 2010. A severe rain storm delayed many of the arriving delegates forcing them to stay in San Jose overnight, missing the opening ceremonies. The capital city of San Jose where the airport is located is on the Pacific coast, and Puerto Limon, populated by the largest number of Black people in the country is on the Atlantic coast.
Delegates representing CABO member organizations from Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, the United States, along with observers and special guests, participated in this Assembly meeting. Representing organizations address a variety of concerns including those related to woman's issues, land retention, racial discrimination and the AIDS epidemic.
The conference venue was the Universal Negro Improvement Association's (UNIA) Liberty Hall, a building which stands as a monument to the legacy of Marcus Garvey, and to self-reliance, identity and struggle.
CABO is a network of African Descendant organizations created to improve the quality of life for Black people throughout Central America and the United States. Discrimination, marginalization and even the issue of invisibility have been conditions faced by the Black people in Central America since their arrival on slave ships over 500 years ago. Since its inception in Dangriga, Belize in 1995, CABO has been on the front line demanding the political, economic social and cultural rights of inclusion for Black people.
Managed by an executive board, CABO's officers serve two year terms. Office positions are president, two vice-presidents, secretary, and various secretariats. The secretariats are divided into departments dealing with 1) women's issues 2) economics 3) culture 4) education and 5) youth . CABO has within its structure a department that handles fiscal and legal matters concerning the organization. Elections of new officers scheduled for this year were postponed until the next General Assembly meeting schedule for Panama in 2011.
The conference participants were encouraged to hold on to their lands from outside speculators looking to buy lands for cheap. There are plans to build an international highway running from the USA through Central America and spanning the length of South America. Land speculators will be looking to buy the land owned by Black people for very little money. A number of agreements were reached and signed by the directive board of CABO that will move the people of Central America towards bettering their condition. Yes there are over 20 million Black people in Central America and there is a growing consciousness around their African identity.
The Cultural group, Marimba Ensemble from Seattle, Washington, USA performed throughout the conference. The people really enjoyed these rhythms from Zimbabwe South Africa. The bond of Pan Africanism was greatly strengthened at this XVI General Assembly meeting of CABO. It was truly an experience to be in the presence of Black people, young and old, who have taken the mantle for the last 16 years to demand their right to be respected as human beings and to no longer be relegated to invisibility by the dominant Spanish political, economic and cultural hierarchy. The rights to a collective ethnic inclusion as Black people within all governmental and state agencies throughout Central America is supported by the Six Regional Diaspora Caucus (SRDC). We truly encourage Africans Americans to learn the Spanish language and visit the Central American Black communities.

Friday Finds!
I heart geeks. No, I really do! I married one, after all. And he's fully aware that he is one! He is a true computer nerd. So we both get a kick out of seeing all of the creative things that people come up with that have to do with computers, electronics and all things 'geekery'. Here are a couple of things that I've found recently. The first is from GeekGear. It's a desk clock made out of an old server hard drive! And don't throw away any of your old computers, GeekGear will gladly accept them and give them a new life!
Next up are magnetic clipboards made from recycled circuit boards by Debby Arem Designs. Now that's something my husbad would totally dig, but what about for the ladies? She also uses recycled parts to make jewelry too! Definitely stop by her store to check them out!

Architects are Sexy...
So here's something interesting that I stumbled across. Architects have been deemed sexiest profession. Yes! Oh wait...for males! No! Apparently, the perception of women architects isn't as good as male architects. Totally disagree! Women architects are pretty damn sexy if you ask me! :)

steven alan sullivan dress on sale
i was at the tannery (the new one, not the downstairs one) in harvard square, and they have the sullivan dress on sale for 50% off (originally $236). i saw a P, S, and M. i recommend sizing up on this. i tried it on at stel's, and it's tight in the chest and short. i was fine with the length in the S, but the buttons were pulling at the chest (and i'm just an A cup).
i also tried on the topsiders, and the shop guy told me they have to fit snug. my heel was slipping out of the 8.5s, and they were out of the 8s, but he said that should be my size. i'm normally an 8.5 or 9, so i'm feeling nervous about buying something that ends up being too snug. it seems like it runs true to size, but do you feel like it's best to wear them tight like slippers (sockless)? i didn't mind the color they had, either, although i still like the lighter color at jcrew best.

Re: topsiders
I would wear sans socks but I am wondering if they ar wearable with skinny straight jeans? what jeans can you wear with them?
- erica said...
i would wear them with skinny jeans rolled up.
- V said...
Hi Erica, if you're talking about Sperry brand shoes, then I would definitely size down or go with the smaller of your two sizes if you normally are in between. I find that the their leathers really stretch out. The first pair I ever bought were the lace up type (so perhaps it was more serious that my heels were coming out of those), and I can't wear those shoes because my heels get chafed raw.
- erica said...
viv, thanks for the advice. i will probably go with the 8s, then. the shop guy warned about the exact same issue.
- jennifer said...
I'm so bummed to hear that the Sullivan dress is running small. I really wanted the polka dot one from last spring, but I found it so be insanely small. I hoped that they would have corrected that this season, but I guess not. Too bad, especially since it's 50% off right now!
- mr said...
i got mine on the small side of the size range that i wear, so i would recommend sizing down. i like them with skinny jean-leggings, sometimes i wear them with tights and shorts and a big button up shirt and a sweater. they make my feet look small, in a good way! the leather really does give quite a bit and they break in very quickly.
- julia said...
I don't know why the sullivan dress runs so small in the bust, I had the exact same problem. I've tried on the P,S, and M and they are all tight in the chest (just an A cup too!), and so I just ended up getting the P because it fit the best everywhere else...I just leave one of the buttons undone and wear a tank underneath. Still, I probably shouldn't have gotten it to avoid frustration....
