The Charge Of The Light Brigade
The Charge Of The Light Brigade
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack & Russian
from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter'd & sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse & hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Feb. 13 (UPI) — Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf said President Donald Trump's Thursday meeting with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo about expedited entry programs was "productive," but announced no solution to the impasse.
The three leaders met in the Oval Office to attempt to reach an agreement on federal access to immigrants' driving records.
New York blocked the U.S. government from having access under the Green Light Law in December. The law allows migrants to seek driver's licenses even if they are in the country illegally. It prevents U.S. Customs and Border Protection from accessing their data from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles without a subpoena or court order.
In retaliation, the U.S. government cut off New York residents from federal programs allowing them to use expedited lanes to cross the border or pass airport security. Such programs aid, for example, residents who frequently travel between New York and Canada for business purposes.
Cuomo traveled to Washington, D.C., to discuss a solution to the impasse Thursday.
"The relationship between New York state and the federal government is very important but has been made difficult by the unilateral actions of New York State regarding the sharing of security information with DHS," Wolf said. "New York is the only state that restricts CBP access to their data across the board — for law enforcement, customs, trade and travel facilitation purposes. Despite that, we will continue discussions with the state of New York to find a mutually agreeable solution."
Wolf didn't announce any solutions to disagreement.
Trump tweeted about the meeting prior to Cuomo's arrival.
"I'm seeing Governor Cuomo today at The White House. He must understand that National Security far exceeds politics. New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harrassment, start cleaning itself up, and lowering taxes. Build relationships, but don't bring Fredo!"
It's unclear what lawsuits and harassment Trump is referring to, though New York state currently has a number of legal actions against Trump, including one investigating his financial records and tax returns.
Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., accused Trump of attempting to blackmail New York into giving him what he wants in the tweet.
"He's holding New York state hostage to try to stop investigations into his prior tax fraud," she tweeted.

Kara and Ben's Wedding
Gosford Golf Course
I started to capture the beautiful memories of Kara and Ben's wedding day on Saturday at Newcastle where Kara and her bridesmaids were getting ready. I then drove the hour south to Gosford Golf Club where Kara and Ben's beautiful sands ceremony was near the gazebo in the beautiful grounds of the golf club. Kara chose purple for her decorations and bridesmaids dresses, which looked stunning alongside her beautiful white wedding gown. Here are a selection of photos which I took of their beautiful wedding day. You will see in my previous blog, photographs of Kara and Ben the day before their wedding, in their pre wedding photo shoot.

The following came from the Westford Police Department. Information is published as soon as possible. Anyone accused of a crime is innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
Feb. 19, 11:43 p.m. – A woman on Depot Street called police to report what she described as obscene texts.
The woman showed the texts to police, which came from a man she dated several years earlier for a brief time.
Officers saw the texts, which asked the woman why she did not want to reinitiate contact with the man.
The officers said the texts did not appear to be threatening and then advised the woman on her harassment prevention rights. She did not want to take immediate action, but was grateful for the advice.
Feb. 20, 2:15 p.m. – An officer was dispatched to Busa Liquors on Littleton Road for a customer who attempted a purchase with a Visa gift card that would not be accepted.
The customer attempted to use the card, but received an error message. He then tried another gift card, but the device shut down completely.
Angry, the customer said he was leaving the store to go to a nearby ATM. Several minutes later, another customer said he saw someone throw five Visa gift cards out the window of a moving vehicle in the parking lot.
At this point, the store's clerk called the police, believing the cards may be fraudulent.
The officer took the cards as evidence and contacted Visa, who determined several days later that the cards were indeed fraudulent.
No further action was immediately taken.
Feb. 26, 9:33 p.m. – An officer was dispatched to the Residence Inn on Lan Drive after reports of an intoxicated man driving away from the area.
By the time the officer arrived, the vehicle was no longer there. Hotel staff identified the man, who said that he had been drinking and singing. He was encouraged to return to his hotel room, but he told staff he was going to Boston to pick someone up from Logan Airport.
Staff tried to provide transportation so he did not have to drive, but he declined.
The staff member saw the man enter a car, but she was unsure if he was in the driver's seat or the passenger's seat.
Feb. 28, 8:08 p.m. – A plain clothes officer was on patrol in an unmarked vehicle at Westford Valley Market Place and observed a suspicious Mini Cooper behind Papa Gino's.
Two unnamed individuals were inside the vehicle, with one looking right at the officer with a "deer in the headlights look."
The officer pulled up to the vehicle and both individuals immediately tried to leave the Mini Cooper and walk away.
As this happened, the officer called the individuals to stop, and one asked why he had to.
Dispatch was called and the officer proceeded to the car, noticing an odor of marijuana.
One of the individuals also smelled of marijuana and his eyes were described as bloodshot.
Upon request, one of the individuals produced some marijuana from a jar in his pocket and then attempted to walk away.
However, other officers arrived and the initial officer would not let the individuals leave just yet. The individual who tried to walk away provided identification and then also produced rolling papers after additional verbal resistance.
Inside the vehicle, additional marijuana paraphernalia was found, with some inside hidden compartments.
After the vehicle was searched, the individuals were given a $100 citation for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. Their parents later arrived on the scene and gave them a ride home.

The summer is coming to an end, but who says its too late to have an ice cream? I don't. So why not enjoy the last piece of sun with some of Malmö's best ones, while you're at it. Then good news for you, down below is my list of Malmö's 5 best Ice Cream Bars.
Dolce Sicilia
One of Malmö's dear favorites, and not without a purpose. Get in the Italian feeling with some of their great homemade ice cream made out of Sicilian original recipes. Also a bit Hungry? Then why not also try out their homemade pasta during lunch time. Simply, an ice cream bar not to miss.
Favvo Glass
Favvo Glass in Malmö Saluhall is worth making a visit, especially if you just had some other food there. Either way, they serve the creamiest ice cream you can ever imagine, with amazing flavor combinations both as regular ice cream and sorbet. Bring your ice cream out to the backyard to enjoy it in the sun.
Lilla Glassfabriken
This place have been around for a long time, and is a cute lite place that serve a great variety of ice cream that fits every taste bud. Want to bring some ice cream home? No worries, they have basically all their ice cream on stock in fridges for the enjoyment in your your own cosy sofa.
With Köld, you can never go wrong. They have some of the best Ice cream that can be found in Malmö, and would I dare say even in Sweden? Not only is the owner there one of the happiest people, but he also serves your ice cream with a bit of humor and always with smile. And if that isn't enough they always have exciting new flavor combinations you can try, before you go nuts on their ice cream with funny names to it.
Bar Italia
If you're making a stop down to Västra Hamnen on a sunny day, Bar Italia is not to miss. They have amazing ice cream that is always delicious. And what can be better than a really good ice cream and a really good view out over the sea? A perfect stop to enjoy an ice cream and maybe an espresso to it after taking a cold dip in the water.

One of my favourite moment when I travel is the discovery of what the young African community can do. They are really fighting, they are creating a lot of projects. They have the entrepreneurship. So I always go to them and find out what they are doing, then I can post it on the blog.

You know one thing that gets me sometimes? It's the number of blogs out there with a 1, 2, 3 step list to [insert achievement]. It could be how to achieve happiness, success, money, etc… As soon as someone promises me that I'll discover the secret in 3 simple steps, I gently close the browser tab.
This simple-step approach couldn't be further from the truth for developing wellbeing. In my experience of working with myself and many course participants, there is no one silver bullet, no one method, no one book and least of all, no one article that can unlock the secret to emotional wellbeing.
And the same goes for inner balance.
What I do hope from this article (and all of my blogs) is that you may be inspired to learn something and learn more; to then follow your own path with inner balance, piecing together the things that support you along the way.
So, what does ancient philosophy tell us about balance?
The closest word or subject to inner balance from a historical context of the world's ancient philosophies and religions is 'equanimity'. This is a state of psychological stability, which is undisturbed by experience of, or exposure to, emotions, pain, or other phenomena that may cause others to lose the balance of their mind.
Another way of explaining equanimity is 'standing in the middle'– we can be surrounded by turmoil but remain centred. This inner balance comes from emotional strength or stability. Indeed, Buddhist philosophy talks a lot about the middle way, a place where extremes are rejected. This is close to Aristotle's concept of the "golden mean" whereby "every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice."
All sounds pretty impressive, you might say.
So, how do we go about all of this?
It's interesting that the physical definition of balance is 'an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady' (Oxford English Dictionary) can be so applicable to our inner world. Perhaps we might call it an even-handed-ness or level-weighted approach to our experience – not indulging in the extremes of our emotions.
The power of observation
So, if we're not indulging in our thoughts and feelings, what are we doing? Well, this is a path of observation, of noticing. It's stopping and saying to yourself 'what is going on right now?' – noticing thoughts and feelings and dropping into the body to see what's going on here – not to judge our experience but to allow it to be just the way it is, to offer a friendly curiosity to our experience.
With some of these Mindfulness themes, it can be easy to feel inadequate and stories may run through your mind such as 'how do I cultivate inner balance when I feel tired, strung out or imbalanced?' or 'all of this sounds beyond my capacity'.
In this instance, it's about coming back to where you are in that very moment – of tuning in as described above. Allow yourself then to focus on the breath for a few moments, allowing a pause. You can use our Pressing Pause guidance if it helps you.
Equanimity or inner balance doesn't mean that we don't experience difficulty, pain or discomfort. It's more that there is an allowance of it to be there. This is not a resigned acceptance but an acknowledgement. This creates a new relationship with our experience which, when cultivated over time, is powerful.
'Equanimity is the freedom or balance we experience when we're not grasping after anything and when we're not pushing anything away' ~ Tara Brach
Where does all this get me?
It's very common that people apply the same kind of 'striving' and achievement approach to meditation and Mindfulness as they do to other aspects of their life. That inspired me to write from striving for happiness to radical acceptance.
Perhaps the conundrum with Mindfulness is that striving to 'achieve' something with the practice will get you nowhere. In fact, it'll only tie you in knots. Instead, the opportunity lies in practising 'being with' our experience – being in those moments when we're just simply being – no tinkering, no adjusting – just being, whatever that feels like.
I may not be able to tell you the 1,2,3 steps to inner balance (I don't think anyone can) but what I can tell you is that there are fruits to your labour if you commit to these practices.
Be sure to let go of the outcome (as best you can) and explore and experience the middle way for yourself.

Coping with Stress and Mental Health
- Konaszewski, Karol (Univeristy of Bialystok)
- Niesiobędzka, Małgorzata (University of Bialystok)
- Kolemba, Marcin (University of Bialystok)
AbstractThe study included 390 emerging adults. Coping strategies were measured with the COPE Questionnaire (Carver, 1997) and information on mental health was called using the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (Brooks, Krulewicz, & Kutcher, 2003) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985).The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with maximum likelihood (ML) estimation was used to assess the factor structure of the variables and structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The data mostly confirmed the hypotheses. Avoidance strategies turned out to be the strongest predictor of mental health, specifically negative mental health outcomes. Problem-focused strategies were a stronger predictor of quality of life than emotion-focused and support-seeking strategies. Emotion-focused strategies did not predict depression. Importantly, the relationships we identified were similar in young adults of both sexes. Coping strategies, especially avoidance strategies, play a crucial role in mental health during emerging adulthood.

For as long as people keep making up these curious national days, we'll keep honoring them the best way we can. So, in the case of National Joe Day—a very real thing that, according to eHow, derives from the old Scottish slang habit of affectionately calling someone joe or jo in the same way you might say sweetheart—it's just a matter of getting all of our Joes in a row. Musical ones, as it's a Friday.
So that is exactly what we have done, starting with a punk and ending with an original rocker:
Joe Strummer
As lead singer of The Clash, Joe (born Joseph Mellor) was at the head of two armies, those working class kids caught up in the punk rock revolution who wanted their rock stars to remain at street level, and the followers of classic rock that wanted their rock stars to be larger-than-life, mythic, and capable of acts of musical transcendence. Astonishingly, he managed to please both camps, not only setting a high bar for subsequent would-be punk rebels to flop over, but leaving a legacy of legendarily high-octane rock for classicists to discuss in hushed tones for ever more.
Joe Cocker
If you or I tried a vocal performance of this kind, you could reasonably expect to discover, just after the first high note of the chorus, to be wearing a tonsil as a lapel ornament. The late, great Joe Cocker may have looked as if singing was an exaggerated form of physical spasm, but his insides remained inside while delivering paint-stripping performances like this and his celebrated blowtorching of The Beatles' "A Little Help From My Friends." And that is no mean feat.
Joe Meek
A difficult figure to wholly celebrate, Joe Meek was an electronics genius who set up a recording studio in a flat in London's Holloway Road in the very early '60s, and proceeded to craft startling sonic confections from there, including "Telstar," the 1962 single that got to No.1 in America before anyone had even heard of British pop music. After struggling with mental illness and having been beaten up and blackmailed as a result of his homosexuality, Joe became harder and harder to work with. And in 1967, during an argument with his landlady Violet Shenton, he pulled a gun and shot her, and then turned it on himself.
One of the nation's most trusted broadcasting voices in the field of new music, whether on BBC Radio 1 or her current home on BBC Radio 2, Jo (a confirmed Whovian, by the way) was also directly responsible for booking some of the most exciting bands for the early '90s trash TV show The Word. These included a live performance by Nirvana that was prefaced by Kurt Cobain declaring that Courtney Love "of the sensational pop band Hole" was very good in bed (he used franker language than that), and the notorious appearance by L7 during which Donita Sparks pulled down her shorts and underwear and tottered around on stage naked from the waist down. This is the relatively sedate first TV appearance by Oasis.
Joe Brown
Joe was another one of British rock's first wave, before the Beatles, before The Rolling Stones. He was part of an attempt by London record labels to harness the spiraling success of American rock 'n' roll imports in the late '50s and early '60s. But Joe wasn't your average rock 'n' roll bandwagon-jumper. A true player, he inspired a good many of the British Invasion guitarists, reportedly encouraging them to use unwound G strings on their guitars to facilitate soloing. A good friend of George Harrison's, it was Joe that closed the 2002 tribute show for his old friend, with a beautiful rendition of the evergreen "I'll See You In My Dreams."

1. Will Huddersfield do the double over Man United?
IT MAY SEEM like a long time ago given the current issues at the club, but Man United actually had a quite promising start to this season.
Of the Red Devils' opening seven games, they won six and drew one, with the prospect of a closely fought title race with neighbours City looking a distinct possibility at that point.
It was only on 21 October when signs of trouble first really became evident, as Jose Mourinho's side were stunned 2-1 away to recently promoted Huddersfield.
And while United have since gained a degree of retribution with a 2-0 victory over the same opposition at Old Trafford earlier this month, problems still clearly exist at the club, as was obvious in their limp 1-0 loss to Newcastle last weekend.
It is not a crisis by any means yet, of course — trailing City by 16 points is not good enough for a club of their aspirations and resources, but they are at least still second in the league and in with a chance of claiming two trophies.
The problems in relation to Paul Pogba have been a concern, however, with rumours of a clash with Mourinho potentially leading to disastrous consequences for the club.
United's last loss to Huddersfield proved a turning point in their season and was the real start of the decline that paved the way for City running away with the league.
Another defeat by David Wagner's side could also prove a decisive moment in their season, as it would leave the Champions League as the only trophy left that the Old Trafford outfit could realistically hope to win.
Given all the millions Mourinho has spent, a season without a major honour would reflect poorly on everyone at the club and leave the manager open to accusations of leading the club in a backwards direction, after the positive steps last season in securing both the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.
Consequently, it is vital that United avoid a repeat of the embarrassing defeat they suffered at John Smith's Stadium earlier this season.
2. What is going on at Chelsea?
It has been apparent for quite some time that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is not a happy man.
He has made clear that the club's transfer dealings have not always been to his satisfaction and the reluctance to pick certain senior players, such as David Luiz, have added to the impression that there is considerable tension at Stamford Bridge currently.
The reigning champions have not quite imploded as spectacularly as they did the season before last, but they have threatened to at times.
The Londoners' recent form has been worrying — they are 19 points adrift of leaders City in fourth place, while back-to-back losses against Bournemouth (3-0) and Watford (4-1) earlier this month suggested the notoriously fragile dressing room ambiance had been badly damaged at Chelsea.
A 3-0 defeat of a West Brom side on Monday boosted morale, but did little to temper suspicions that deeper problems continue to exist at the club.
Beating a Hull team who are currently struggling at the wrong end of the Championship will hardly inspire talk of a revival either, but anything other than that could prove catastrophic given how perilous the situation at the club is already.
An upset is not beyond the realm of possibility, however, especially as the Blues will no doubt be prioritising their Champions League clash at home to Barcelona on Tuesday.
3. A less glamorous trip for Tottenham
One of the great aspects of the FA Cup continues to be the ties it throws up that can involve one of the best teams in Europe travelling to rather unforgiving and less-than-glamorous surroundings.
This week, a case in point is Tottenham's visit to face League One side Rochdale at Spotland Stadium.
The game may not quite match the thrills of the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday night, when the North Londiners showed impressive resilience to recover and earn a 2-2 draw against an experienced Juventus team.
However, Spurs can hardly expect an easy ride, especially given what happened in the last round, when they needed a replay to beat League Two side Newport County.
In addition, one of the biggest criticisms that continues to be aimed at Mauricio Pochettino is his failure to land a major trophy in his managerial career thus far, despite all the other positives he has brought to the set-up Tottenham as well as the widespread belief that he is one of Europe's outstanding young coaches.
With the Premier League all but out of reach and the Champions League still a somewhat distant dream given the calibre of sides involved, the FA Cup is probably Spurs' best hope of winning a first major trophy since claiming the League Cup in 2008.
4. Can a former League of Ireland favourite inspire an upset of Man City?
Man City have been so dominant this season that it is perhaps no surprise that they have appeared to let the tempo drop slightly of late.
In the past two months, the club have conceded points against Liverpool, Burnley and Crystal Palace. Despite these slip-ups though, Pep Guardiola's side still hold a comprehensive 16-point lead at the top of the table.
City now need to win just six of their remaining 11 matches to be assured of Premier League glory, so really, it is a matter of when not if they lift the title.
They also have at worst a 50:50 chance of winning the League Cup when they meet Arsenal in the final on 25 February, so two titles are already within their grasp.
Anything else will be a bonus for a side that has undergone a remarkable transformation in the time since Guardiola was appointed.
Yet a serial winner like the Catalan coach will be still be intensively plotting Wigan's downfall ahead of the sides' meeting on Monday, and City have bad memories of the Lactics when it comes to the cup.
As recently as 2013, a Roberto Martinez-managed side relegated from the Premier League that season upset the heavy favourites in the final thanks to Ben Watson's stoppage-time headed goal, with Roberto Mancini sacked as the Etihad outfit's manager two days later.
And the following season, after Uwe Rosler had taken charge of the Championship club, they again stunned City in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Much has changed since then though, and while City are on the verge of claiming the Premier League title, Paul Cook's men are battling for promotion from League One, with the Liverpool-born boss accustomed to inspiring sides to punch above their weight, having guided Sligo Rovers to two FAI Cup triumphs during a stint there that lasted just under five years.
However, given their current respective fortunes, a third consecutive cup upset at City's expense would surely the biggest surprise of the lot.
5. Which of the underdogs will prevail?
The 'magic of the FA Cup' is by now a well-worn cliché and there is no doubt that the competition has lost some of its lustre, with the growth of the Champions League over the past two decades, along with the increased importance and financial incentives that go with a team's league performance.
Nonetheless, it is hard not to take some joy in seeing a side such as, for instance, Newport, travelling to Wembley to face Premier League giants in Tottenham.
Six non-top-flight teams still remain in the competition — Sheffield Wednesday, Rochdale, Wigan, Coventry, Sheffield United and Hull City.
While all would probably prefer promotion from their respective leagues, for the romantics, a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup surely continues to be regarded as a significantly attractive alternative.
Upcoming FA Cup fifth round fixtures (all games kick off at 15.00 unless stated otherwise):
Leicester v Sheffield United (19.45)
Chelsea v Hull City (20.00)
Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea (12.30)
Brighton v Coventry City
West Brom v Southampton
Huddersfield Town v Man United (17.30)
Rochdale v Tottenham (16.00)
Wigan v Manchester City (19.55)

Thu August 25, 2005 - West Edition
Lewis Willey is doing exactly what he wants to do.
The Amarillo, TX, landscape contractor knew at an early age what profession he wanted to enter, but it took him 26 years to reach his original career goal.
"After serving in the Air Force, I prepared myself for a career in the landscape business by getting a degree in horticulture from Texas Tech University," said Willey. "But I graduated during a recessionary period, and there wasn't much demand for people wanting to get started in the landscaping field."
So Willey worked as a property claims adjustor for a while, then went back to school and got an MBA. Ultimately he began a five-year career with a company that markets risk-management software to the insurance industry and government entities.
"In February 2004," Willey continued, "I resigned my position with the software company. I had grown tired of the corporate world and wanted out. I wanted to go back to my first love –– landscaping."
Willey established Willey's Wildscapes LLP in Amarillo and began soliciting business for the coming spring season.
Willey's business experience and MBA clearly helped get his new business off to a good start. He carefully evaluated the market in the area, identified the niche of the market he wanted to serve, and selected the equipment he would need to be successful.
"Our target market is irrigation and landscaping, focusing on up-end projects, those above ten-thousand dollars," he said. "We provide turnkey services, consultation, site evaluation, planning and design, ordering materials, construction, and follow-up."
To be productive while keeping costs in line, he chose his equipment carefully.
The company's primary piece of construction equipment is a mini-skid steer loader with a selection of attachments suited specifically to the tasks that its target market demands. Other equipment is a 1-ton diesel truck, 17-ft. dual-axle trailer and 3-cu.-yd. dump trailer. The truck and trailer can transport the compact skid steer, attachments and support tools needed for most jobs.
For its first year of operation, Willey's Wildscapes has exceeded projected billings with 2005 projected to be even better, and Willey is ready to implement expansion plans as workloads increase.
Willey credits the multi-purpose mini-skid steer loader –– a Ditch Witch model SK500 –– as one of the keys to the new company's successful first year.
"This one machine is able to do most everything we need to do," he said. "In addition to the loader bucket, we have a trencher attachment, an auger, pallet forks, and tree forks. Next we plan to add rake and mini-backhoe attachments."
The compact, 500-lb. class walk-behind SK500 is designed for light-to-medium duty work for a variety of construction applications and is especially well suited for landscape work. Its compact size allows it to work in areas where larger equipment can't go; permitting it to do work that often is done by hand labor.
It is powered by a 24-hp air-cooled engine and travels on rubber tracks powered by dual independent hydrostatic ground drives, providing a zero-degree turning radius. Ground drive pilot control provides highly-responsive steering with little or no vibration transferred to the control handles. Rubber tracks limit disturbance to turf and paved surfaces and are available in either 7- or 9-in. widths. Track length is 40 in.
Availability of the Ditch Witch-designed-and-built trencher attachment also is a strong selling feature because it is more rugged and productive than "will-fit" attachments and was designed specifically for the SK500.
On typical jobs, the rugged little machine is used for site preparation, including light grading; moving material around work sites, digging fence and post holes, and trenching for installation of irrigation pipe.
"The machine has performed very well," said Willey. "We have put it to some tough tests, and it is very rugged."
Willey said he shopped around before settling on the Ditch Witch model.
"There were several factors involved in the decision," he explained. "First the Ditch Witch reputation is very strong, and the organization is known for excellent service. And the fact that there is a dealer in Amarillo was important to us — we know we won't have to wait to get parts or service if we need it."
During the first year of operation, Willey's Wildscapes was comprised of Willey with his wife, Lorrie, handling the books and finances. Extra help was hired on an as-needed, project-by-project basis.
"We believe our work will justify two full-time employees during the 2005 season," said Willey.
Other changes are planned.
"We operate out of our home now," he said. "But we are planning to move to a 20-acre site with an office and shop and a nursery for drought-tolerant plants. We are in a semi-arid region –– average rainfall is 16 to 19 in. –– and we have found no nearby nursery that stocks plants native to the area or others that are not native but would thrive here. We believe we can develop a strong market for such plants for the retail market as well as for use in our projects."
Willey emphasized that growth plans will progress in an orderly manner.
"New business owners must recognize the importance of taking care of the business end of their operations," he concluded. "Office work for me isn't enjoyable –– I would rather be outside working on projects. But it has to be done, and we schedule regular office days to keep everything current. Skip a day in the office, and you may spend a week later straightening out the resulting problems."

Resistance Terminology
HR = High resistance: plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pathogen or pest pressure.
IR = Intermediate resistance: plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to "highly resistant" varieties. Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pathogen or pest pressure.
T = Tolerance: The ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress without serious consequences for growth, appearance and yield.

Ways to Clear the Print Queue in Windows 10
Documents send to printer will wait for processing in the print queue. If too many documents are enqueued in it, then it may get stuck. In that event, you cannot print PDF or other documents. To take printouts, you may need to clear the print queue. Here is how to do it.
Common Print Spooler Troubleshooting Tips
You can sometimes see one particular file is not printing properly, and you may only have to remove that file from the print queue. If you wish to try deleting that file which creates the logjam, just apply the following fix.
- Click on Settings.
- Choose Printers.
- Click on Open Queue.
- Choose the file which you feel is causing the issue.
- Click on Document, and select Cancel. This will delete the print job in the queue.
If the print queue is stuck despite trying the above, then click on Printer in the menu bar and choose Cancel All Documents. This will delete the documents in the print queue. In computer language, these documents are known as print jobs.
If neither of the above approaches works, then perhaps your issue could be fixed with a restart of your printer and computer. Try restarting your PC and your printer. Detach wired connections from power, and plug these back in before your system restarts.
If none of the above solutions can resolve your backed up print spooler, then there are many other ways to fix the issue.
With the Windows Control Panel App
A way to clear the print spooler is using the Control Panel.
- Type Control Panel in the search box in Windows 10 and choose the app.
- Search for Printer in the box at the top right corner of the window.
- Open Devices and Printers.
- Right-click your printer icon.
- Click on "See what's printing".
- Click the Printer option in the menu bar.
- Choose Cancel All Documents.
With Command Prompt
Another way to clear it is to use the Command Prompt. If you are fine with using this rather technical method to fix the issue, you may want to try it.
- Right-click the Start
- Choose Command Prompt (admin).
- Type the command Net stop spooler and press the Enter It will keep the print spooler from running.
- Key in the command Del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\* /Q and press Enter.
- Once you finish the above, start the spooler so that you can take printouts. For that, key in the command Net start spooler and press Enter.

Perspective is nice: prices of various game consoles:
Of interest to me: all of Nintendo's consoles started at $200, which is of course within the rumored range for the Wii. Also of moderate interest is that the supposedly super-powered PS3 is closer in relative price to the super-powered failures of the past – machines that were just too pricey for their own good. Bad omen for Sony? On the other hand, none of those failures were successors to the reigning market champ.

Remember when Urkel did "The Urkel?" Classic. Man, living in the 90s was so much better. You could just tell some random guy to "crank it" and all of a sudden you had music that you could instantly make up a dance to that somehow everyone around you would automatically know how to do even though you just made it up on the spot.
But sometimes not everyone is happy with your instantly amazing dance and they need to spike the punch and get you drunk as an act of revenge (as is customary at most 90s parties). Sadly, this happened here. It seems William couldn't take Urkel's dance moves so he spiked his punch and got him drunk to the point that he fell off the side of a building.
Thankfully (maybe) Urkel didn't die. But this act of punch spiking was just the beginning of a life of crime for young William as years later he would grow up to be a criminal who stole cars with Ludacris in the movie Crash. He is eventually shot and killed in that movie by Ryan Phillippe. So let that be a lesson to all you punch spikers out there. While you may think you are just having fun, it is a slippery slope and eventually a devastatingly handsome off-duty police officer will offer you a ride and proceed to shoot you dead. Is that what you want? I thought so.

Noctua NH-L12 Low Profile CPU Cooler - Testing
|Article Index
|Noctua NH-L12 Low Profile CPU Cooler
|Final Thoughts
Noctua NH-L12 - Testing:
Test Setup:
For Intel (LGA1336) testing we will be using the Intel Core i7 920 CPU, which produces 130 Watts of heat. This could be considered a mid-range processor, and while most Dual-Core processors produce ~50-80 Watts of heat, this should give you a pretty accurate estimate of what type of temperatures a cooler will provide you with.
For both AMD and Intel testing, we have taken all temperatures using CoreTemp v.0.99.4. CoreTemp takes a temperature from the CPU core, and allows for much more uniform results across different motherboard and CPU platforms. These temperatures may seem higher than other temperature recordings; because chances are they are taking temperature recordings using the diode underneath the CPU, which isn't able to be as accurate, and can really fluctuate between different brands of motherboards.
For all tests we are using the Highspeed PC Top Deck Tech Station , and we are using no additional cooling in our testing. All temperatures are recorded in a controlled environment that is set to 23 degrees Celsius (73.4 Fahrenheit) to provide fair results between coolers.
For all tests we use Arctic Cooling MX-2 High-Performance Thermal Compound (Paste), We use the same thermal paste in all our testing so that we can keep our results consistent. If a cooler is shipped with thermal paste pre-applied, it will be removed and we will re-apply it with Arctic Cooling MX-2 to provide fair results.
Intel Test System:
- Intel Core i7 920 CPU - Provided by Intel
- ASRock X58 SuperComputer Motherboard - Provided by ASRock
- ATI Radeon HD2600
- 3 GB Kit of Corsair XMS 3 DDR3 Memory
- Western Digital 250 gig (16 MB Cache)
- OCZ Modstream 520 Watt Power Supply
Test #1 - Fans on low speed setting
To start things off we will give the NH-L12 a run with the fans turned down low (~700 RPM)
Click on chart for larger view
Ok, so after testing the fans on low we can see that the performance isn't going to set any records when compared to some of the much larger coolers we've tested in the past. Overall though for a cooler as small as the NH-L12 is, and with the fans turned down that low, I must say the results are quite decent. While running the fans at this low of a level you would probably be unable to detect any noise from them over other system noise.
Let's turn the fans up a bit and see what happens in the next section.
Test #2 - Fans on high speed setting
For this test we are going to run the fans at their highest speeds (~1500 RPM)
Click on chart for larger view
Once the fans are turned up to their highest settings we see a pretty good performance increase. When compared to other coolers we've tested in the past these results are actually pretty good (you can see the full chart at the bottom of this page). While they didn't set any records they did reduce our stock temperatures by 11 degrees and was able to keep up with some coolers we've tested that are much larger.
The end results of this test actually left me pleasantly surprised. Normally when a cooler claims to be "low-profile" that is a pretty good sign that the performance is going to be terrible, but in the NH-L12's case that was not true at all.
Test #3 - Only one fan (92mm Bottom Fan) Installed
For this test we have removed the 120mm fan off the top and let the lower 92mm fan do all the work.
Click on chart for larger view
Ok, so for this test we really weren't expecting much, and as you can see in the chart above, the performance wasn't great. To be fair trying to have a 92mm fan cool a 130 Watt CPU is a pretty tough task and the fact that it was able to do it at all was a nice surprise. If you need to remove the top fan and run it using only the lower fan we would definitely recommend using a lower wattage CPU.
We didn't include these results in the next chart that puts this cooler up against all the others we've tested over the last couple years.
Test #4 - Comparison Chart
Click on chart for larger view
So there we go, we've seen what the NH-L12 can do performance-wise, let's move onto the final section of this review where we provide our final thoughts and award a final score.

Set in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, 100 Las Olas is Kolter Urban's first project in Broward County. This 113-residence luxury condominium will begin on the 16th floor and is the tallest building in Fort Lauderdale.
Kolter Urban's 100 Las Olas has been designed to capture the momentum of the Downtown Fort Lauderdale revitalization. As the only for sale condominium in the area, the community faces competition from an abundance of luxury rentals and resale condominiums in the area. With limited opportunities for luxury residential in the Downtown Market, the regional broker market is primarily focused on the oceanfront opportunities. A new brand and lifestyle driven campaign was targeted at the western communities to introduce homebuyers to the concept of a walkable urban lifestyle. Las Olas Boulevard is one of the premiere dining, shopping and entertainment districts in the Country, and the new Bright Line high-speed train connects residents to the neighboring communities of Miami and West Palm Beach.
The contemporary designed 46-level tower will include 113 private luxury condominiums, a Hyatt® Centric Hotel with a lobby bar and restaurant on the lower levels. One World Properties is the exclusive on-site sales representative for the project. Keeping the hospitality separate from the residential, private amenities are planned for the 16th floor rooftop level. A rooftop pool and cabanas are surrounded by a resident's club room, Fitness Center and Media Room. 100 Las Olas is the only for sale condominium in the downtown market, with prices starting in the $800s.

Rammstein are one of the most controversial heavy metals currently active. They have been heavily criticised in the past for their lyrics, music videos and overall image. Their songs often deal with taboo subjects. Despite this, they have gained a large following worldwide. During live performances, the band uses an extensive amount of pyrotechnics. They have become known for the use of spectacle, leading to sell out tours.
Sonne is one of their most popular tracks. It introduced English speaking listeners to the band. The music video depicts a twisted version of the story of Snow White. The band members portray dwarfs who slave away in a mine all day.
The lyrics are all about how it is important to have fun in life. Its video is inspired by the vampire action film, From Dusk Till Dawn. The band can be seen shooting the same flamethrowers used during their gigs.
Links 2-3-4
This is an anthem that features a simple but catchy beat. It was written to get audiences involved during gigs by shouting and clapping their hands. The video is an animation of an ants nest that unites together to fight a larger insect.
Rosenrot features lyrics of a sexual nature. The key theme of this track is giving into lust. The lead singer plays a priest in the music video who is tempted by a village woman. It is very similar to the horror film, The Wicker Man.
Ich Will
Ich Will is another anthem designed to get crowds engaged during performances. The lyrics feature instructions such as raising hands. In the video, each member of the band is involved in a bank robbery.

Raymond James Financial and Brown Brothers Harriman both reinterated "buy" ratings on shares of EDS stock, which were trading at $47.56 this morning.
Raymond James' 12-month target price for EDS stock is $61 a share. Brown Brothers' long-term rating remains "neutral."
Plano, Texas-based EDS has had a busy month, first buying MCI Systemhouse, the Canada-based services arm of MCI WorldCom, for $1.65 billion, in a tit-for-tat IT outsourcing deal. This week, the world's No. 2 IT services firm also moved to fill a management void, hiring retired Price Waterhouse cochairman James Daley as its new chief financial officer. Daley fills a post that has been vacant since Jody Grant retired last March.
Raymond James analyst Richard Bove, in a research note, said Daley was likely lured to EDS by the company's new CEO Richard Brown, who has been on the job since January.
The firm said Daley's hiring will allow Brown to focus on his forte--generating new revenue through acquisitions--while Daley concentrates on the profitability of EDS's services contracts, which have drawn criticism from shareholders.
The company is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Xerox, which EDS said drove down fourth-quarter profits by 50 percent due to a charge related to the suit. EDS alleges Xerox stopped paying for contracted services last November. Xerox has called EDS's suit against the company a regrettable action. Critics say EDS's $3.2 billion, 10-year contract with Xerox was underpriced to start with.
Following EDS's earnings announcement this month, CIBC Oppenheimer reiterated a "buy" rating on EDS stock, noting that the weakness of the shares in an overall strong services market makes EDS an attractive buy.
In a research note, CIBC Oppenheimer said the MCI WorldCom deal puts EDS in a strong competitive position in the Canadian services market, lets the company save money by outsourcing its network, and will add to EDS's non-General Motors-related contract business. EDS's former parent company General Motors has been slowly shifting business away from EDS, which depends on the automaker for about a quarter of its revenue.

About this book
This book summarizes five years of learning from data collected as part of the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative. The authors present data describing impact-oriented ventures and accelerators that operate in both high-income countries and in emerging markets. Blending survey data with insights from sector experts, their various analyses shed light on the basic structure of accelerators, showing where they are having their most promising results. Unlike previous studies, this book does not focus on a few high-profile accelerators (like TechStars and Y Combinator) and startups (like AirBnB and Uber). Instead, it compares a range of accelerator programs that target specific impact areas, challenging regions, and marginalized entrepreneurs. Therefore, it serves as a valuable tool for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the effectiveness of accelerator programs as tools that unleash the economic potential currently trapped in entrepreneurial dead spaces.

Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian have admitted that they were "reluctant" to star in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The sisters explained that they were "blind-sided" by Kim Kardashian and mum Kris Jenner, who arranged the show without their knowledge.
"Yeah, I was reluctant at first," Kourtney told Fabulous magazine. "I think I was just being a protective older sibling. I didn't know how things would be edited."
Khloe added: "Me and Kourt were kind of blind-sided. Mom and Kim knew what was going on and it all happened so fast.
"I think if we'd had time to analyse it, we would have thought about it too much and wouldn't have been able to be ourselves.
"I forget that I do these things. I go to the gynaecologist and they're filming and I don't even think about it. We've had the same camera crew since day one and we're so comfortable with them, they're like family."
Kim agreed: "When my mom came with the idea I was like, 'OK'. Within a couple of days we were filming, so we didn't really have time to digest it. That's the beauty."
The eighth season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians is about to premiere and the series has a number of successful spin-offs.

Bombast - originally, cotton or any soft material used for padding to produce clothes in the fashion of the Sixteenth Century. It has come to mean a highflown unnatural style, rather inflated and insincere, pretentious, ranting, and using extravagant language. Also, it can denote extravagance at the expense of content.
Download Guide to Literary Terms Study Guide
The word is from the Greek bombux, meaning "silkworm" or "silk," and the Latin bombyx, meaning "silkworm," "something made of silk, any fine fiber, or cotton." Both were used to form the Old French bombace, meaning "cotton."
In Shakespeare's Othello, Iago uses the word in complaining to Roderigo about Othello:
But he, as loving of his own pride and purposes,
Evades them with a bombast circumstance
Horribly stuff'd with epithets of war;
And, in conclusion,
Nonsuits my mediators.
