Breaking Camp And Ready For Some Football
The Boys have left the Alamodome and are now preparing for some football in their new home. The consensus among the players is that this years camp was much tougher, and more focused than years passed, especially after last years circus.
Gone are the likes of Terrell Owens, and Adam "Pacman" Jones who always brought their own distractions wherever they went. And lets not forget about Jessica Simpson … or actually maybe we should. With her around it was clear to every fan that Romo's head was never truly in the game. Hopefully this year he has his priorities straight, and his focus on the Lombardi Trophy. Oh yea and I almost forgot that other distraction that followed the entire team around last year, the HBO show "Hard Knocks". It was fun to watch as a fan but if you think what it must of been like for the players being followed around all the time and every detail filmed. "It was a drama-free three weeks in San Antonio" reports KTBB.com, which is what we like to hear.
"This camp has been like two of the other camps put together. I haven't heard anyone call this one cupcake," linebacker Bradie James said.
Coach Wade Phillips wanted to push the team a bit more this camp, making sure they stay focused and to help them get stronger as a team.
"I am trying to do what helps this team. It's a long season and the mental toughness is part of it," Phillips said. "I say the mental part of it. When you get tired, that's when the mental process comes in. I thought it was good for our guys. I think they have come through it well.
Phillips will have even more on his plate this season as he is also the teams defensive coordinator.
With camp ended the Cowboys stayed fairly healthy. They will be without Fullback Deon Anderson for some time after he had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last week. But both corners Mike Jenkins and Terence Newman who have been a little banged up returned to practice and are set to go. Roy Williams wrist is improving and barring any set backs he should be fine as well.
Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will have a three headed monster in Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and Tashard Choice to get the ball to. The idea is that Barber with use his brute strength to soften and beat down the defense, then have Felix use his speed to fly by and around them. Choice will get a few carries a game as well to give Barber and Jones a break. Garrett is looking to get the ball to Felix 12-15 times a game and doesn't care if its by air in the passing attack or handing it to the speedster.
With so many weapons, and as long as everyone can stay healthy, the tougher camp and the time spent together could push the Cowboys back into the elusive playoffs, then watch out!!

Lighttpd - Compile & Run on MIPSel Linkstation (LS2)
Due to the lack of Large File support (>2Gb) in the built in thttpd installation on my Linkstation (LS2) I decided to try Lighttpd instead. Below is the steps I used to compile and install Lighttpd on my Linkstation.
Download and install the development tools Precompiled C Development Environment
Download the Lighttpd source code and untar it to a directory to do the compiling in.
wget http://lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.12.tar.gz mkdir lighttpd cd lighttpd tar xzvf ../lighttpd-1.4.12.tar.gz
The Lighttpd web site states that there are additional libraries needed. However they do not appear to be needed if you do not need some of the modules. See Optional Libraries The libraries I was missing are "libpcre" and "libz".
Configure the Compilation package to install the files to the /usr/local directory and compile the program.
./configure make make install
Copy the full config file to the right directory ...
mkdir /etc/lighttpd/ cp doc/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Write a simple test config file (/tmp/lighttpd.conf)...
server.document-root = "/www/" server.port = 3000 mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png" )
Check the simple test config file...
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -t -f /tmp/lighttpd.conf
If all is well, Run the simple test config...
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /tmp/lighttpd.conf
look at ... the page in web browser by pointing your web browser to...
Press CTRL^C to terminate the process...
Next you need to Edit the full config file.
vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
NOTE:-If you do not have "libpcre" during the compile then you need to comment out the following lines in the .conf file...
#$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.pdf$" { # server.range-requests = "disable" #}
Check the full config and then test it...
/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Assuming all is well then you can create a startup process to automatically run the daemon at startup.
echo "/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" > /etc/init.d/lighttpd chmod +x /etc/init.d/lighttpd cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd S90lighttpd cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/ ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd K90lighttpd cd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/ ln -s ../init.d/lighttpd K90lighttpd
All Done! The server can now serve Large Files.
I hope this is usefull to someone.
The Precompiled package I made can be downloaded from here for those of you who don't want to compile it yourself... lighttpd-1.4.12_mips.tar.gz

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Hundreds of thousands of young people around the world will sacrifice their voices on Oct. 16 for the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. These young people will stand in solidarity with the thousands of children who lose their voices every day in the abortion holocaust. Many participants will wear red duct tape emblazoned with the words "Life" or "Silenced" over their mouths as they pass out fliers explaining the event, whose theme this year is "I Survived Roe V Wade, Roe v. Wade Will Not Survive Me." "Students will be sending a loud and clear message that abortion must end and all innocent human life must be protected from conception to natural death," said event organizer Bryan Kemper, founder Stand True Pro-life Outreach and Youth Outreach Director for Priests for Life.
America is closing in on the 40th anniversary of Roe v. on Jan. 22, 2013. One full generation of Americans have lived under the shadow of Roe and decriminalized child killing. Priests for Life, Survivors of The Abortion Holocaust, Students for Life of America are just a few of the organizations committed to educating, activating and equipping today's young people to the generation that will succeed in abolishing abortion.
"The Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity is a day that pro-life students can stand in unity to honor those who have been permanently silenced by the violent act of abortion", said Kristan Hawkins of Student for Life of America. "This is a great way for pro-life student groups to impact their campus by raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born child and the resources available for women facing a crisis pregnancy, in order to empower them to choose life."
Kristina Garza of Survivors said, "Students' silent witness during the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity conveys to their peers and faculty the seriousness of abortion. It takes a certain amount of courage to commit to silence during an entire day of school. It is acting with that kind of courage that will end the holocaust initiated by Roe vs. Wade." This is the ninth annual Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity; students at thousands of high schools, middle schools and home schools have pledged to remain silent in solidarity with thousands of unborn children permanently silenced by abortion every single day. "Over the past eight years we have heard from hundreds of girls who canceled their abortions because of the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity as well as hundreds of kids who changed their hearts and are now pro-life," Kemper said. "These are just the ones we have heard back from; we have no idea how many lives were actually saved. But we do know that just one life makes this whole day worth the effort." The Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity is a project of Stand True, the youth outreach of Priests for Life, and is co-sponsored by LifeNews.com, Students for Life of America and Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust. Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, stated, "I am proud we are sponsoring this project and urge schools to support the students who engage in it. To all students, we ask, 'Are you willing to give up your voice for a day for those who will never have a voice?'" For more information, visit www.SilentDay.org. To interview Kemper, call him at 540-538-2581.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Notes written while analyzing the votes – in the football poll.
Schedule makers in college and professional sports often have a flair for the dramatic. They'll deliberately schedule a Red Sox-Yankees series to end the season or an Ohio State-Michigan game late in the year with the Big Ten title on the line.
It doesn't usually work out that way at the high-school level. Drama is tough to peg, and even if it was, it wouldn't be a priority.
But it's been quite the happy accident in Rhode Island Division I football this season.
At the beginning of the year, four teams were talked about as favorites and they quickly separated themselves – in part because they weren't playing each other.
In the first four weeks of the league season, only La Salle and Portsmouth got together.
That set-up is yielding quite a finish.
Starting with the much-hyped game between Hendricken and Cranston East on Oct. 12, there's been a big game on the docket every Friday. The Hawks won that game against East, then went on the road and got beat by Portsmouth.
The next week, East and Portsmouth staged perhaps the game of the year, with East rallying from a 25-point deficit – in the second half – to win.
Then last week, East and La Salle got together, with the Rams fully asserting themselves as the best team in the state thanks to a 41-13 win.
And now – with only a few Thanksgiving league games left – comes the always enticing match-up between Hendricken and La Salle. The Rams enter with an unbeaten league record. Hendricken is a game back. The winner gets the No. 1 seed, no questions asked.
How's that for a big finish?
Accident or not, I'll take it.
Pats have built their program
I haven't covered much junior varsity soccer in my day, but a few years ago, the Pilgrim girls demanded some attention. They had a strong regular season and advanced to the JV state championship, where they lost to Mount St. Charles.
I remember Pilgrim coaches saying they hoped that the success at that level would help build the program. The varsity team went 2-11-3 that year and was struggling even with a move to Division II.
Four years later, the building has happened – and it's now reaching new heights.
Many of the players on that JV team graduated last year, but before they left, they helped the Pats turn into a contender. The influx of talent that came after them has carried the torch, and the Pats are now a legitimate threat to win the Division II championship.
When they won a playoff game earlier this week, it was the first for the program since 2000. The fact that it took two days – the game was suspended due to darkness on Monday – was symbolic, considering Pilgrim's first-round struggles in recent years. It wasn't going to be easy, but the Pats made it through.
Pilgrim is now in the semifinals, also for the first time since 2000. It's also the first time since 2008 that a Warwick girls' soccer team has been that far. Vets made the D-I semis that year.
Knights will be a hot ticket again
They lost their first game, but don't count on the CCRI men's basketball team losing many more this season. The Knights return two of the best players – Bryan Yarce and Desmond Williams – from their team that finished as the national runner-up a season ago. The Knights entered this season ranked third in the country. They've added some size, and another former Rhode Island high school stand-out in guard Rob Hazard.
Their goal is to make it back to nationals, and the quest is worth watching.
CCRI's first home game is Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. against UConn-Avery Point.
Turkey Day memories
We are currently working on our annual Turkey Bowl section that celebrates the area's Thanksgiving football rivalries. Both the Pilgrim-Vets and Cranston East-Cranston West games are hitting milestones this year. This year's game will be the 50th for Pilgrim and Vets and the 40th for East and West. For Hendricken and Toll Gate, this year will be the 41st game.
With that as the backdrop, the Turkey Bowl section will focus in part on history, and we're looking to talk to anyone who played in the first Thanksgiving games in each of those series. If you played or know someone who did, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 732-3100 and ask for William.
You'll be adding a nice side dish to our Thanksgiving football main course.
William Geoghegan is the sports editor at the Warwick Beacon. He can be reached at 732-3100 and firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sports Writer
Lexi Rothstein shrugged off her typical handspring and corkscrew twist off the vault to embrace a more difficult Tsukahara tuck. Marilyn Sporbert switched her dismount on the beam to squeeze out another tenth of a point from the judges, and Erin Malone continued to evolve her routines with tougher skills on bars and an electrified pass on the floor.
Most teams might have been content to perfect their well-rehearsed routines at the state open championships, especially after a series of tumbles nearly cost them a Class L title just six days early. The Southington girls pulled out all the stops.
The singular slap from Rothstein's perfect landing echoed through the New Milford gym, and Coach Kaitlyn O'Donnell didn't try to stifle her wide grin.
"We've been working it in the gym, and we decided that this was the day that we were going to do it," said the coach. "It was the time because this could have been our last meet. We had to go in with the mindset that this is it. We had to put in all our stuff."
On Friday, March 1, the Lady Knights entered the final state competition as the third seeded team in a four-way competition. The state open is a chance for individuals to shine, but the Lady Knights had one goal in mind—return to the New England competition as a team for the first time since 2010.
"I think they handled it fairly well," said O'Donnell. "It's the first time in a while that we've been a team at the state opens, and it's a little different pressure meet. I think that, considering the circumstances, we did pretty well. Overall, we had a very consistent meet. We had a few falls here or there, but it was nothing major."
It wasn't the start that O'Donnell envisioned when Southington's senior Erin Malone skidded across the floor on a mat during her first pass on the floor and her feet landed almost two feet out of bounds. Malone shrugged it off with a graceful leap onto the mat and still managed to score in the top 10 in the event with a 9.125.
"She didn't actually get a fall because her hands never touched the mat, but she did stumble and went out of bounds," said O'Donnell. "It was a deduction, but she has such a high start value that she was still able to get a good score."
Despite the hiccup, Malone still managed to lead the Knights in all four events. She won the bars competition (9.55) and placed third on vault (9.4) and sixth on beam (9.125). When the dust settled on the competition, Malone had scored 37.2 out of 40 possible points in the all-around competition to secure Southington's first state open individual title since 2008.
"She's so clean," O'Donnell said. "She had a wonderful day with just a few little bobbles here and there. She had a really nice bar set. She won the bars and won the all-around. She had a good day going for her, and she deserved it."
O'Donnell wasn't alone. Southington claimed five of the top 25 scores in the all-around competition. Sporbert (34.325) edged Kayla Nati (34.2) for 13th place. Rothstein (33.725) finished in the top 20, and Lindsey Socquet (32.575) averaged over 8.1 points in all four events.
"The whole team was consistent," said the coach. "Compare it to last week when we had a bunch of falls all over the place. This week, we only had a handful. I think the girls are getting more consistent. They're putting in harder skills, and that's what's helping our all-around scores."
Even though she didn't compete in all four events, Sarah Leahy boosted the Knights with scores on vault (8.75) and beam (8.45). Sporbert scored for the Knights on vault (9.225), beam (8.6), and floor (8.65). Nati scored on bars (8.55), beam (8.7), and floor (8.55). Rothstein scored on vault (8.65) and bars (8.35), while Socquet scored on bars (8.1) and floor (8.575).
Woodstock Academy held on to their top seed in the team competition (146.025), but Southington (140.35) eclipsed Glastonbury (137.55) and Daniel Hand (136.1) for second place.
"I think that, for us, it's a really great accomplishment," said O'Donnell. "We came so far as a team. This is my first year, and a lot of the girls haven't done this before. I told them I was proud of them. Our girls were on fire."
As the top two finishers, Woodstock and Southington will advance to the New England team competition on Saturday, March 9 at Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough, Mass. Once again, Southington gymnasts will set their sights on a New England title.
Can they raise the bar again? Can Malone regain Southington's throne atop the regional competition? Can the Knights win as a team? O'Donnell said that they'd try.
"We just want to score a little bit higher. We just want to hit better than we did this time, and wherever the cards fall that's where we'll be," she said. "It's the best of the best, so you have to hit. I always say that we have to hit, but this is the meet that you really have to."
Competition is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m.

BOSTON, Mass. – Facing some of the top competition in the region from across all Divisions, the nationally ranked No. 7 MIT men's cross country team finished sixth overall at the New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association (NEICAAA) championship Saturday at Franklin Park. All five Tech harriers placed among the top 75, as the Engineers had the second best showing of all Division III squads at the meet.
Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) led the way for MIT, as the senior finished 22nd overall with a time of 25:22 on the eight-kilometer course. Sophomore Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) had a strong showing, placing 39th in 25:47. Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) was the third fastest finisher for the Cardinal and Gray, taking 48th place at 25:57. Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) and Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) rounded at Tech's top five in 66th and 71st place, respectively.
MIT's total of 244 was just behind fifth place Northeastern University (240) and Middlebury College (221), the top Division III squad. Connecticut University took home the team title with 149 points.
The Engineers will get a preview of the NCAA Division III championship course next weekend, traveling to the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh for the Pre-National meet.

Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $5,629
Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Exhibit card dating from Gehrig's first full season with the Yankees in 1925.

The card is bright and crisp with outstanding picture quality, but has minor edge and corner wear, including a tiny crease in the extreme upper right corner. Both the front and back are bright and clean. While accurately graded at Vg-Ex, it certainly has an Excellent appearance. This is an extremely historic card, Lou Gehrig's true rookie card, and one that would be a worthy addition and an extremely significant highlight in even the most advanced card or Hall of Fame collection.

Race organizers said the event is a good opportunity for families to work together for a goal. Citing the fact that several families participated in last fall's race, race organizers said the event is "[a] great lesson in sportsmanship for the kids and a fun family bonding experience."
Each participant must bring a bicycle, helmet, swimsuit, towel, and proper footwear to compete. Each event combines a run, a bike ride, and a swim competition.
The most challenging competition of the event is the "Elite" category, which involves a 5k run, a 10-mile road or mountain bike ride, and a half-mile swim. The shorter "Open" category consists of a one-mile run, a 5k mountain bike ride, and a 300-yard swim. The "Youth" category, for those under age 12, features a half-mile run, a one-mile bike ride, and a 150-yard swim. Kids may use life jackets or kickboards if needed.
The event is designed for athletes of all levels and awards will be given for the top five places in each of the three categories for both males and females, according to the news release. All participants will receive a completion certificate and all youth who do not receive an award for finishing in the top five will receive a participation ribbon.
The registration fee is $10 for early registration through March 1 and $15 on the day of the event. Race day registration will take place from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at the MRAC front desk. The cutoff time for registration is 9:30.
Race registration, start, and finish lines for all three events will be at the Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center, 374 Park Ave. Participants may pre-register at the center's front desk or online through March 1 at www.activityreg.com.

I wouldn't think of it as solids making up for the milk, but what could happen is that if she doesn't get as much milk during the day, she'll make up for it by nursing more at night when you're together, which will also help stimulate your supply back to its usual level. So if you do have a supply drop, that might be a time to cut back on solids in the evenings/weekends to let that compensation happen. But that doesn't mean that you should never give solids in the evening - if things are on track with your supply it's fine to give solids when you're together, but you want to nurse before giving solids so that the solids don't interfere with nursing. In terms of finding a doctor, well, if you can find one that is knowledgeable that's great, but if you can't and if you feel like you have enough support from other places (the forums, or a local La Leche League group for example), if you don't feel like the doctor is actively antagonizing your breastfeeding efforts I don't think it's necessary to switch. I mean I basically ignore my doctor when he gives me advice that I don't find breastfeeding-friendly, but I still think he's a good doctor overall.
As far as STTN - I do think that nighttime nursing has a big impact on supply, so especially if you find yourself struggling with pump output I think it can help a lot to dream feed, and it's probably easier to do than to try to squeeze in yet more pumping time.

Women whose mothers experienced early menopause are themselves likely to have an accelerated decline in fertility, Danish researchers found.
Median serum levels of an important marker of ovarian reserve, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), declined by 8.6% (95% CI 6.4 to 10.8, P<0.001) yearly in women whose mothers entered menopause at or before age 45, according to Janne Gasseholm Bentzen, MD, PhD, and colleagues from the University of Copenhagen.
In contrast, women with maternal menopause at ages 46 to 54 had a decline in median AMH of 6.8% (95% CI 5 to 8.6, P<0.001) each year, while those with later maternal menopause had an annual decrease of only 4.2% (95% CI 2 to 6.4, P<0.001), the researchers reported in Human Reproduction.
During recent decades many women have delayed childbearing, with the possible result that they may then have difficulties in conceiving if their ovarian reserve has begun to be depleted and oocyte quality lost.
Many population-based studies have demonstrated a strong component of heritability for age at menopause, but whether this influence extends to fertility and ovarian viability has been unclear.
To explore this, Gasseholm Bentzen and colleagues enrolled 527 female healthcare workers, ages 20 to 40, whose maternal menopause status was known.
They measured serum AMH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol for each participant, and performed transvaginal ultrasonography for antral follicle counts (AFC).
Serum AMH and AFC are the main biomarkers reflecting ovarian reserve, according to the researchers.
Participants' mean age was 32.7 years, and the mean age of maternal menopause was 50.2 years.
Body mass index was in the normal range for three-quarters of the women, smoking was reported by 20.3%, and there was prenatal exposure to smoke for 28.1%.
A total of 27.7% were using oral or vaginal ring contraceptives.
Median serum concentration of AMH was 20 pmol/L, FSH level was 6.8 IU/L, and estradiol concentration was 0.16 nmol/L.
The mean number of antral follicles was 19, and median ovarian volume on ultrasound was 4.6 mL.
A linear relationship was seen for AMH and AFC, with a correlation coefficient of 0.82 (P<0.001).
Among women with early maternal menopause, AFC decreased annually by 5.8% (95% CI 4 to 7.5, P<0.001), the authors reported.
For those with normal-age maternal menopause, the decline was 4.7% (95% CI 3.3 to 6.1, P<0.001), while for late menopause the annual decrease was 3.2% (95% CI 1.4 to 4.9, P<0.001).
Both AMH and AFC were lower in women who used oral contraceptives, and AFC decreased by 11.1% (95% CI 0.1 to 21.1, P=0.04) in women whose mothers had smoked while pregnant.
No significant differences were seen for levels of estradiol or FSH, and ovarian volumes were similar across the groups.
The study confirmed that ovarian reserve in daughters may be influenced by maternal age at menopause, which may be a factor in the duration of their own reproductive lives, according to the researchers.
Being exposed to prenatal smoke also may contribute to earlier loss of fertility, they observed.
"The mechanisms underlying the decline of follicles with age remain far from being fully understood. The association between early menopausal age and the lower ovarian reserve measured through AMH and AFC could be either due to impaired oogenesis or due to prenatal loss during the fetal-life period," the researchers explained.
A strength of the study was its large population, but several limitations must be considered. The study was cross-sectional, so further longitudinal data will be needed.
In addition, participants were healthcare workers, who may be healthier than the general population, and there may have been recall bias for maternal age at menopause.
Environmental factors unmeasured in this study also may contribute to reproductive life and menopause, so "to provide an estimate of an individual woman's reproductive age, long-term follow-up studies are still required," the researchers concluded.
The study was funded by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation, Copenhagen Graduate School of Health Science, and the Fertility Clinic at Copenhagen University Hospital.
The authors reported no conflicts of interest.

Doing a session at SEM Konferansen in Olso called "What is your competitor doing?"
The internet makes marketing efforts close to 100% transparent, you can track everything you do through analytics and file reports that would make any off-line marketer jealous. But that also has a dark site as there are tools out there that can be used by your competition to track your online marketing efforts and in some cases know things that not even you know if you are not vigilant and on the guard.
Through tools and methods you can track your competitor, their PPC, their Organic strategy, see the banners they create and where they place them, how many people are coming to their site, where they come from and the list goes on. It can be said that you should not invent the wheel when it comes to internet marketing, track and learn from the best, then take that data and make a better use of it. But not only that you should use this same method to track your own brand and use that data to protect it.

Best Kids Parties: Dragons
Name: Oscar (1)
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Oscar wasn't born in the Year of the Dragon but his first birthday fell in it, and with our little one year old being as feisty and spirited as he is the dragon theme fell right into our laps.
We love bright colors and decided to go with vivid oranges and reds for the party which excited and dazzled our 3-year-old to all levels of excitement. All of my inspiration came from Pinterest!
Papa-made flying dragons drawn on construction and suspended from the ceiling. Mama-made a dragon made from plastic cups and streamers as a flying puppet centerpiece. Felt banner with "Oscar is 1" written across, in red and orange of course. Classic orange and red balloons, streamers, and little dragon pictures.
Mama-made dragons whose wings opened to reveal the party theme and info. Hand delivered in oversized scrapbook paper envelopes.
Mama-drawn "face in a hole" for picture opportunities. One side was a dragon and the other a fairy princess.
Parting gifts:
All fairy princesses (girls) were given mama-made tutus and fairy princess wands. All dragons (boys) were given mama-made dragon tails to wear around their waists and mama-made dragon puppets.
The mama-made cake was a ferocious red and orange dragon adorned with hershey kiss spikes and gummy fire.
Birthday boy:
Wore a shirt with a dragon fabric applique ironed on and a mama-made dragon sweatshirt.
Birthday boy's big sister:
Wore a shirt with a princess fabric applique ironed on and an orange tutu. She also wore a mama-made dragon sweatshirt in case she was feeling more ferocious and less fairy.
Thanks Emily!

Winter Wrap-Up: Certainly NOT Boring…
According to Cliff Mass, UW meteorologist, our past winter of 2012-2013 was the most "boring" on record. There were no major weather events such as wind storms, artic blasts, snowfalls in the lowlands or major flooding. This was indeed good news for the UWBG horticulture staff. Instead of spending the winter cleaning up after storms and worrying about how many plants would be affected from cold hardiness issues, we were able to focus on scheduled and planned work projects for a seasonal change of pace. Here's a rundown of several of these projects we were able to accomplish during this most boring winter.
An adjunct to the current Pacific Connections Garden – New Zealand construction work was taking on the long overdue renovation of the Lookout rockery and reclaiming the lost vistas from the Lookout viewpoints. Arguably the most interesting rock work in the arboretum, the rockery was essentially lost under overgrown plant collections. The crew certainly wasn't bored with the thought of what new and exciting discoveries lay under the next pruning cut. When the Lookout gazebo reopens to the public, visitors will be able to see the pond and Azalea Way from inside the newly restored structure and experience the original 1941 design intent. In other words, the Lookout is once again a lookout. Also, check out the new Rhododendron species planted along the Lookout trail in honor of Ben and Margaret Hall's 80th birthdays. They are major supporters and donors of UW Botanic Gardens.
The McVay Courtyard renovation is mostly completed now thanks to Riz and Annie and contains many new additions. The original designer, Iain Robertson, specified renewing the 3 distinct plant groups: Bulbs, Groundcovers and Shrubs. The existing grove of Acer palmatum 'Aconitifolium' which were carefully worked around and a few Osmanthus are all that remain of the original tree and shrub palette Iain's new design incorporates elements of interesting plant architecture, habits and striking bark. Hence his use of several types of Arctostaphylus, the unusual divaricating shrub, Corokia, Rhododendron moupinense, Rh schlippenbachii, and several tidy groundcovers that mimic inanimate forms, such as Raoulia and Bolax. For the bulk of color, Iain chose a wide-range of spring and summer flowering bulbs. Though the garden looks a bit austere at the moment, as any newly planted landscape does, we're looking forward to a quick and healthy establishment and growth period this spring and summer. For those that miss the striking habit of the Nolinia, no need to panic, they were successfully transplanted to the adjacent cistern slope and new stairs to the south.
Washington Park Arboretum is once again a UW-Restoration Ecology Network capstone site. The student group known as the "A-Team" has designed a weir system in the north "wet" zone of the holly collection. They will be continuing construction and planting this spring. Ryan and company decided it's better to flow with nature rather than fight it. This new feature will, over time, become a healthy wetland area and will immediately reduce both UWBG and City Parks maintenance input, i.e., mowing and weed control.
The Winter Garden was in showcase form as it should be during the winter. Roy has been busy procuring new plants primarily for the new drainage area in the SE quadrant of the garden. We're looking forward to having an updated brochure and map next winter. There's still time to catch some of the late winter, early spring flowering plants such as Corylopsis and Magnolia.
Gardeners, Rhett and Preston, took on the tatty northeastern most corner of Rhododendron Glen. Pruning out several years worth of Rhododendron rootstock growth and removing deadwood in the grove, removal of several poor or dead specimens, and lots of sheet mulching! Wow, I've never seen it so good and I've been around these parts a long time.
Chris and Darrin spent several days up at the double parking lot along the Broadmoor fence tackling deferred storm damage cleanup and improving view corridors. I would expect ne'erdowells will think twice about using this area for their dirty deeds for quite some time.
The Lake Washington Blvd curbside area along the Chilean Gateway is vastly improved as a result of over 120 yards of new soil brought in to create "fingers" at the toe of the slope. This new design will hopefully deter pedestrians from walking through the Gateway and stepping on our plants. Also, with improved drainage, we now can grow Elymus magellanicus without drowning its roots. There are also several new Chilean taxa planted throughout the Gateway that over time as they get bigger will create that Wow! sensation, either up close or from a distance. They include: Gunnera magellanica, Ourisia coccinea, Mitraria coccinea to name a few.
Will spring be as boring too? The UWBG horticulture staff certainly hopes so.

We will find here a resume of the picket knives you can choose and buy. This review is a good start to make your choice with recommendations for enthusiasts and newbies
Best selling knives nowadays. This beautiful and affordable pocket knife is part of Kershaw's Leek series. The steel blade is very sharp but the blade tip is delicate compared to other knives. The Kershaw Leek is compact, lightweight and comes in variety of colors in both serrated or smooth blade types.
Benchmade could be a premium knife manufacturer and their Griptilian vary is hugely widespread among knife enthusiasts. The mini Griptilian is that the smaller variant that excels as every day carry knife because of its glorious flexibility. It uses a drop chrome steel blade that is sharp and might be effortlessly opened with one hand thumb studs. The knife employs Benchmade's spectacular AXIS lock mechanism that uses a small spring loaded steel bar that shifts forward and back to a special slot remove the liners and engages a notch machined into the tang section of the blade once opened. Overall the mini Griptilian is a superb light-weight knife and near-perfect for everyday use.
Without doubt one amongst the foremost iconic and widespread hunting-style knives that dates back to 1964 and thought of to be one amongst the terribly initial lockback knives. This elegant piece is derived the world-over and is loved by each knife-newbies and long-time knife collectors. The reason? For a begin, Buck's 420HC rust-resistant steel is taken into account to be among the simplest and can take a foothold comparatively simply. The knife is extremely well created and also the lock is top-class with no blade play in either direction. It's damn durable too, ready to do serious duty tasks while not succumbing to a lot of wear-and-tear. Most square measure stunned however how it's initially look too – it's nearly 5 inches closed and also the blade 3 and 1 / 4 inches long.
Spyderco is another sure knife manufacturer that is fashionable enthusiasts. Their knives are recognizable instantly. The Spyderco Tenacious has been around for a number of years currently and represents wonderful price for cash. It's a military science knife which may be used as EDC and features a leaf-shaped steel blade that's somewhat broad however sharp. The Tenacious performs well in most time as well as some significant duty tasks and with little or no blade play in either direction. For such a low value purpose this pocket knife has some nice options – the distinctive thumb hole permits for swish and assured blade preparation, the pivot tension are often self-adjusted and a 4-way pocket clip which may be rapt to either aspect of the blade. The handle is skeletonized stainless-steel that minimizes weight while not excessive amount of strength and fits comfortable in your hand.
SOG could be a leader in knife producing and their knives have won praise with several within the trade. The SOG Flash II is a superb affordable selection for the every-day-carry knife and appears similar in look to the Benchmade Griptilian. It's razor sharp with an chrome steel blade that is partly rough and extremely sturdy. The Flash II uses spring assisted opening technology that ensures a quick, easy opening and also the handle is glass-reinforced nylon which ends in a very light-weight nonetheless robust style. For additional safety the knife includes a protection switch which is able to make sure the blade doesn't accidentally deploy.

Almost from the moment it was released in 1977, John Badham's film Saturday Night Fever began molding popular culture and music. Sure, disco had been around for some time before John Travolta strutted his stuff in a white suite on the big screen, but it was the movie and its Bee Gees-powered soundtrack that turned the music genre into certified global phenomenon.
But that movie was based on a New York Magazine story – published 35 years ago this week – called Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night. In it, writer Nik Cohn wrote about a group of young men and women who prowled the discos of New York City, and focused on one young man he called Vincent. Cohn began his story with this:
Over the past few months, much of my time has been spent in watching this new generation. Moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, from disco to disco, an explorer out of my depth, I have tried to learn the patterns, the old/new tribal rites. In the present article, I have focused on one club and one tight-knit group which seem to sum up the experience as a whole. Artist James McMullan also spent many hours observing this development, but his paintings, reproduced here, are less specific; although they deal with the same locations and group, they are generalized images of these Saturday night rituals.
Everything described in this article is factual and was either witnessed by me or told to me directly by the people involved. Only the names of the main characters have been changed.
Except there was one problem. That part of about "everything described in this article is factual . . . "?
It wasn't. The story that inspired Saturday Night Fever was, basically, a lie.
According to Open Culture, Cohn came clean back in 1994, telling The Guardian newspaper:
My story was a fraud, I'd only recently arrived in New York. Far from being steeped in Brooklyn street life, I hardly knew the place. As for Vincent, my story's hero, he was largely inspired by a Shepherd's Bush mod whom I'd known in the Sixties, a one-time king of Goldhawk Road.
Imagine that. The character that ultimately gave birth to Travolta's swaggering Tony Manero character was based on someone who was a "mod", a 60s-era British subculture devoted to fashion, American beat music and scooters. He was closer to Quadrophenia than "Stayin' Alive".
Oh well. Fabrication or not, we'll always have these moves to remember:

Raisman steps into gymnastics' Olympic spotlight
By WILL GRAVES,
Updated August 8, 2012
LONDON (AP) Aly Raisman was ready to claim her Olympic legacy. She just needed a little bit of karmic justice to help her do it.
Some quick thinking from Martha and Bela Karolyi helped, too.
The ever-steady, ever-stoic captain of the U.S. women's Olympic gymnastics team made history during the event finals on Tuesday, becoming the first American to win gold on floor exercise. She added a bronze on balance beam to cap off an already impressive two-week run.
Not bad for the athlete who's the often overlooked core of the superstar group of U.S. gymnasts known as the "Fierce Five."
Five days after a tiebreaker cost her bronze in the all-around, Raisman won a tiebreaker to reach the podium on beam and turned the confidence boost into what she called the best floor routine of her life.
"Wow!" she yelled after finishing four flawless tumbling runs over 90 nearly flawless seconds. Then she raced to hug coach Mihai Brestyan.
He reminded her to enjoy the moment.
"I told her, 'That's the maximum you can get, now just wait for the color,'" Brestyan said.
It was gold. A sparkly bookend to the gold she helped the U.S. grab in the team finals last week.
The victory gave Raisman three medals for the meet. One more than all-around champion Gabby Douglas. Two more than good friend and world champion Jordyn Wieber.
This from a gymnast who has spent most of her career being too reliable for her own good. The 18-year-old lacks the bubbly star quality of Douglas or the driven intensity of Wieber.
What she does have, however, is power to spare and a "team-first" mentality that filtered down through the ranks.
"It looked like Aly always did the best for the team then when it came to do stuff for Aly Raisman, I don't know, she could not deliver her best," U.S. women's team coordinator Martha Karolyi said.
Until the last day of perhaps the last major meet of her career. Raisman - who lost a tiebreaker to Russia's Aliya Mustafina in the all-around finals that prevented her from joining Douglas on the podium - appeared headed for a similar fate Tuesday when her beam score of 14.966 flashed on the screen.
That was lower than what she normally scores, but Brestyan was resigned to it until the Karolyis, sitting a few rows above, screamed at him to appeal. As the national team coordinator, every medal - or almost medal - matters as much to Martha Karolyi as the gymnasts.
"(Brestyan) didn't want to do it because normally it doesn't work out in my favor," Raisman said. "This time, it did."
After a quick review, the judges bumped Raisman's difficulty score to a 6.3, pushing her into a tie with Romania's Catalina Ponor at 15.066. Raisman earned the medal for executing just a little bit better.
Wieber and Douglas struggled following a draining 10 days, though for very different reasons. Wieber came in looking to win a handful of medals but ended up with just one - the team gold - after failing to qualify for the all-around finals and finishing seventh on floor.
She flew out of bounds early during her first competitive event in a week and didn't come close to reaching the medal stand. Afterward coach John Geddert revealed she was dealing with a painful right leg injury that limited her training.
When Wieber flies home to Michigan after the games, she'll do it wearing a walking boot to protect and ready for X-rays that Geddert expects to reveal a stress fracture.
While Wieber insists her leg is "fine," Geddert is positive the pain and watered-down practices took its toll.
"I know you're at the Olympic games, you've got to deal with what you've got to deal with," Geddert said. "The fact that we couldn't train normally, obviously there were very few performances that were polished and we've got to be polished here."
It's a polish Douglas had in abundance in becoming the first African-American to win the Olympic all-around title. The subsequent hoopla left her drained for event finals. She was last on uneven bars on Monday and 24 hours later was a non-factor in the beam final after an uncharacteristic fall.
"If it wasn't my time to shine, it wasn't my time to shine," Douglas said. "Overall I think the competition went really well. I wanted to finish off on a good note. Event finals is something a little extra."
The U.S. finished with six medals in all, a solid number but four less than the 2008 team captured. Not that it matters, not after the group of teenagers stormed to victory in the team competition to give the Americans their first Olympic title in 16 years.
"I feel it was extremely successful," Karolyi said. "It showed the power of this young generation and showed the mental toughness of this whole team. I can't wish for anything more."
The men certainly could. The group that made its motto "One Team, One Dream" ended up walking away with just one medal, the bronze earned by Danell Leyva in the all-around.
Leyva and teammate Jon Horton put together solid sets in the high bar final on Tuesday, but finished well behind gold medalist Epke Zonderland of The Netherlands, whose jaw-dropping score of 16.533 after a breathtaking display left Horton - who had to go next - laughing.
"He makes my routine not so cool anymore," Horton said.
Expect Horton to work on that. The 26-year-old team captain plans to work toward the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. He expects teammates Leyva, Sam Mikulak, John Orozco and Jake Dalton - all 21 or younger - to stick around too.
There's more uncertainty surrounding one of the most decorated U.S. women's teams of all time. While 15-year-old Kyla Ross and 16-year-olds Douglas and McKayla Maroney could compete for awhile, the future is a bit cloudier for Raisman and Wieber.
Wieber begins her senior year of high school in the fall, and Raisman has already graduated. They both plan to stay in training, but projecting four months down the road - much less four years - is difficult.
Karolyi believes all five team members can continue to compete if they stay healthy but will understand if they don't. They've already reached the top for their sport. Anything else is just gravy.

by sdsichero » Thu Oct 21, 2010 12:48 am
I like it. It really puts a unique spin on it.
I still have Freehand because I refuse to give it up. I like it much more than Illustrator.
by J.M. Hunter » Wed Nov 10, 2010 6:58 pmOk, update a bit...not so much progress, as I've barely scratched the surface in my own remedial form.
I finally cracked open photoshop today using a tutorial about basics of the pen tool.
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basi ... elections/
I got a refresher on clicking points, and closing the object to make a selection. Got a quick command even "ctrl-enter", cool right? Then I got stumped on this part:
Page 2 of the tutorial:
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basi ... page-2.php
This passage:
"As soon as I do, my path is converted into a selection, and the stop sign is now selected:
Photoshop Pen Tool: The stop sign is now selected after converting the path into a selection.
I'll switch back over to my Layers palette, and to copy the stop sign onto its own layer, I'll use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac), which places the sign on its own layer above the Background layer:
Photoshop Pen Tool: The stop sign has now been copied onto its own separate layer."
Well that's just it. I was playing with the pen tool and went about selecting the 'H' character in my logo just for practice. I was able to turn it into a selecting, but I wasn't able to make it into a new/seperate layer other than the background layer.
My image I was working with is a tif, and the background layer remains locked.
I remain stumped, I'm sure it's something I forgot to do originally with the document and when it comes to layers. I hope I don't have to go through the trouble of re-scanning the image just to get a jpeg or work with a psd. My stupid scanner's default is for irfanview and I'm working with an a3 large format mustek.
Like I said I'm sure it's gotta be something with the background layer and such.
But dumb question number 103. Can you work with the pen tool in pshop on a tif and only with the back ground layer?
I decided to go back and read up on layers:
by subliminal » Sun Nov 14, 2010 2:54 amScan your sketch in at 1200 dpi. Import it in Photoshop and change the mode to Grayscale. Then convert the mode again to Bitmap... choose your dither method. This will give you a super crisp black and white image.
For something more scalable (vector). As everyone else said, use the pen tool in Illustrator. If you have CS3 and up you can Live Trace the scan but the one you have previewed is super easy to trace with the pen tool. Switch to Outline view to see the forms. As a rule, the fewer points the smoother/better the final result.

HSI 24 - The Author of the Machinations That Set the World in Motion
Rock on, Jiromaru! I didn't know he dabbled in manga, too. A true Renaissance man, in some senses of the word. Even if Ohana didn't say exactly what she wanted to, it's getting much less ambiguous. A date at the festival is romantic enough to qualify, I think. As for the thrust of the episode, Sui's speech, mixed feelings here. Following your own dream and not getting bogged down by someone else's past is indeed a worthy goal, but the Kissuiso group is also a pretty strong group of friends. To suddenly break that up doesn't seem completely fair either. Both sides have a point on this one, so I'll just wait and see which side the show itself falls on. On a final note, no Sui fanservice, thankfully. She's too quick for anyone to notice it. Mad bathroom cleaning skills, though.

Wow, a revolt. Given the title of this episode, this is not quite unexpected.
And that was as good as a confession on Ohana's end finally. Now to see if Kou does show up during the Bonbori and the events that will transpire.
Lol at the bath scene. The BGM was so Jaws-like.
Now it's Sui vs the rest of Kissuiso, with Ohana in the middle. Both sides does have their reasons. Hopefully, 2 episodes is enough to wrap everything up.

Oh my, Sui fanservice
She bathes like a boss. That scene was so surreal and funny.
I wish they had let Nako speak her mind to Sui instead of having Ohana do it as always. Nako was more fired up than ever, and I believe her speech would have had more of an impact on Sui. When even the shy and gentle character gets pissed off, you know something's wrong.
Sui's reason for closing down the inn is understandable, but she is mistaken. She needs to realize Kisuisso brought happiness to a lot of people (from workers to customers) and that it's not just her dream anymore.
The reveal that Jiromaru is the one who wrote the manga that inspired Tohru and Minko to become cooks were pretty... traumatizing
I bet the series will end with him going back to manga, he'll make a manga depicting the daily life of a waitress at an inn which will be titled "Hanasaku Iroha"

Good episode, but I'm starting to worry that we're headed for a lame Ohana-and-Kou-take-over ending. Between Kou saying he doesn't like Tokyo anymore and how cool the inn seemed, and Sui's talk about how she and her husband had no idea how to run an inn when they took over, the writers are practically bludgeoning us with clues. Hopefully they're just trolling.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
wow madam manager is super fast with her bath, takes less then a minute. This is probably the first time I wanted some women's body to be covered up in a bath scene. Ohana didn't talk to her mother in Tokyo but instead talk to Ko, and invited him to the festival. I think at the festival, Ohana will tell Ko, that she has a crush on him. I don't think Kissuiso will close down but maybe renamed, if not renamed will still be operational after the festival.

I'll only believe in KouXOhana when I see it,though I cared more for the rest of the episode anyway.
The bath scene was epic,one of the best laughs I've had in quite a while,same with the revelation on who the manga author was!
Only disapointment is the absence of Yuina cameo,normaly the writers always manage to stick her in there somehow

I should have figured that the Kohana segment would be a bit anti-climatic, given the extremely long wait for it to happen =0\. And somehow, her thinking about the situation at the same time Ko was talking seemed...I dunno, sloppy directing? Kinda gave an impression she wasn't really listening to what he was saying.
Also a bit proud of Enishi growing some balls and standing up to Okami. I still don't like his char very much, and his design at all, but taking things into his own hands shows he's more than just a momma's boy and can think for himself.

Ohana & Ko reunion and her return to Kissuiso to find the place booming!
Guess there is still hope ^^
The part at the bath was pretty weird, but also kinda funny. That ookami-san sure is a fast & efficient one! Getting her to keep the inn open is a different matter though.

(B) The Ko/Ohana relationship is seriously underdeveloped. This isn't like Clannad or Toradora! where the main couple has been through a lot together and shown their love for each other. It's a couple teenagers who have a crush on each other. If you add up all the scenes they've shared, I doubt you'd be able to fill one entire episode. I'd be fine with an ending where they're dating, but it'll be too much if the show goes a route where they're going to be together forever.

Loved it. Especially the complexity of why Okami-san wants to close the inn, and of Ohana not understanding, and of the siblings, and of will it/won't it close, etc.
"Seriously undeveloped" is a good way of putting it. Kou is like almost not there -- but he still has a strong relationship with Ohana. She is seriously weird. I found the scene with them at the playground frustratingly Japanese/restrained, but not at all poorly directed (or actually written/storyboarded?).
I wonder how Takako's mission to get back the money went? Would they do better in the city? Enishi really is unsuited for the task of running the Inn, as his mother said. But Tomoe could do it.
Will Kou end up coming to Kissuisou or Ohana go back to Tokyo?

I definitely agree KoHana is underdeveloped. They're hinting at a Ko x Ohana x Kisuisso ending but if that happens it won't be very believable. Here's hoping that's just a troll.
Forgot to say I laughed pretty hard when Ko said "I thought you had dumped me for Kisuisso" since he's completely right

Authorities near Los Angeles searching for 4 pit bulls suspected of killing jogger
PALMDALE, Calif. – Authorities in rural Los Angeles County were warning people to be on the lookout for four pit bulls suspected of killing a 63-year-old jogger Thursday, and they have seized several dogs in a search for those who may have taken part in the attack.
Sheriff's Lt. John Corina told reporters that a woman in a car saw the dogs attacking the female jogger Thursday morning. The witness called 911 and honked her horn to try to get the dogs to stop.
"When the first deputy on scene saw one dog still attacking the woman, he tried to chase the dog away," Corina said. "The dog ran off into the desert, then turned around and attacked the deputy, the deputy fired a round at the dog and tried to kill the dog, and the dog took off into the desert."
The woman died while she was in an ambulance on the way to a hospital near the high desert community of Littlerock, about 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles, said Evelina Villa, county animal control spokeswoman.
The coroner's office was investigating to determine the cause of death.
Sheriff's officials alerted people in the area to watch for the four tan dogs, and they were using a helicopter to search for them.
Later Thursday sheriff's and animal control officials served a search warrant on a home near the site of the attack and took away eight dogs, six of them pit bulls and two of them of mixed breeds, the Sheriff's Department said in a Statement.
Investigators were trying to determine whether the dogs were involved in the attack.
A 29-year-old man from the house was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana.
It was unclear whether the dogs that attacked the woman had collars or owners.
"In these areas, you might have a situation where people dump animals out in rural areas," said John Mlynar, a spokesman for the nearby city of Palmdale. He added that he'd never heard of an attack like Thursday's.
Residents who live near the site of the attack said stray dogs are constantly roaming the area and have attacked people before.
"It's really scary," Diane Huffman, of Littlerock, told KABC-TV. "I don't know what to think. I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself."
