Where from do you buy your X10 parts?
I'm not saying X10 sucks just that some X10 parts look really cheap. I know that most of it is made in China but there are parts that Chinese make that are affordable and with pretty good quality and there are ones that lust look that will break if you look at them for too long.I'm just looking for reputable X10 dealers that could have a bit more expensive and more quality built gear.Where from do you buy your X10 parts?
@golgoj4 no I'm not a looking for exclusionary for pretty looking appliances just ones that are quality made.I looked at your setup (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/User:Langstonius) and see that you and others have issues with CM11 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/CM11) is there some really robust X10 controller that work without issues and problems?Are there only serial X10 controllers? Any USB ones?
I bought a CM15A module for $20 a few weeks ago with 6 dimmable wall switches (WS467). the usb module (CM15A) worked great, plug and play. Then I configured the switches via web admin just like it says in the wiki. So far its worked great!The only problem I found (because I didn't read correctly) was that the bulbs had to be incandesent and all my bulbs were florecent. so I had to but new 40W bulbs so that they work correctly.But again everything worked plug and play and configured just like the wiki says. Up till now no major problems.

Higgins proved what a great champion he is by shrugging off the loss of the eighth frame after missing the black.
He is playing his best snooker since winning the 2007 World Championship. That makes him very difficult to bet against as the Masters enters its final phase.

Late night Dave? :D
It was encouraging though, during the rest of the season he seems to have been grinding results out without being as fluent as he can be, but tonight he was excellent in all departments.

Oooh, late night blogging. That's great for insomniacs like me, especially seeing as I've recently become addicted to your site. I have big exams soon, so will have to force myself to stay away. My internet has gone down, but that hasn't stopped me. I'm using my mobile now. Am I sad? Yes, probably.
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was when are you next commentating on eurosport? I've always wondered what your voice sounded like. I've watched some matches on eurosport but have never happened hear any commentator use names, so I don't know if it's you or not.
Agree, quality match. Thanks for reminding me it was on. I'd seen a couple of frames then buggered off to the loo and forgot. There's been a lot of good play this week, hopefully the high standard can be maintained.

PSB guy, I accidentally found your website a few days ago when googling something about Clive Everton. I forgot about it though. I saw your username here a few times today and thought it was familiar, although I thought it was the name of a Russian football team or something (think I got confused with SPB). Anyway I clicked on your name and realised it was the site I'd been on a couple of days ago. Looks good. I'll be visiting it more after my exams.

Dave was commentating on the Higgins match tonight alongside Joe Johnson if you had that on.
I always find it quite amusing listening to Dave on the TV because having read this blog for a good couple of years now I guess I feel quite familiar with his views and his style, so some of the things he says on TV are inevitably very similar.

Cheers for the comment, good luck in your exams, what are they out of interest?
- 2:46 am
Thanks. They're medical final exams, if I pass them then I'm a doctor. Only a handful of days to go now, have a them early next week. You probably would want to get treatment from someone else though, especially after reading some of my odd comments here, and perhaps it is me who needs the treatment. My excuse is that I'm ill with bird flu. I have been resting all day watching snooker. Need to start revising tomorrow, have to compress 5 years worth of knowledge into 3 days!
I don't know what Joe Johnson sounds like, but I guess I could figure out who he is and who Dave is if I pay attention next time I watch.

Ouch, rather you than me then! I've done the whole legal route and finished the Legal Practice Course last year so have some sort of idea of how it is. I think it's important to have some sort of distraction to keep you sane though and snooker is as good as any I say.
If Dave doesn't reply before tomorrow then if I remember I'll post in here who is commentating on each match on Eurosport. Generally speaking Dave will be the one reeling off stats and being the 'lead' commentator who introduces the programme and stuff, while whoever is with him will be the ex-player expert.
- 3:13 am
By the way, when I first stumbled upon this website, I thought the H stood for Harold. Initially, I was a little suprised, as Dave Harold didn't seem the type to keep up a blog like this. But then I read the bit on the side that mentioned the commentating thing.
By the way, a little bit of constructive feedback here. I wonder if the archives and links you have at the bottom of the page should be moved to the top, below where it says a bit about you and the website. Many people will be regular readers, so would never scroll all the way down, and even if someone had not read the entire first page, they may not make it all the way to the bottom due to the long distance to travel. Also, it's much easier for the few people like me, who use mobile phones and the like, to access those links. Currently I'd have to hold the down key and wait a minute for my phone to scroll to the bottom. Not sure how easy it would be for you to move that bit up, but it's just a thought. I'd never seen that section until today when I accidentally discovered it. Read the article about that american band that started to watch snooker. Hilarious stuff in their blog.
- 3:22 am
Ok, thanks Matt. I'll try to keep an eye out in between studies.
Agree, snooker is a good distraction. Perhaps too good though, don't know if I should be watching on sunday or studying for the following day! It's always on before exams as well!

Tell me about it, I had an exam in 2005 on my Law degree back home in Hull on the day after the World final so I watched Stevens and Murphy live at the Crucible in Sheffield til 11pm, got a train back here which arrived in Hull gone midnight and then was up for my exam which started at 9:30am the next day :D
Every single year I end up fitting my annual pilgrimage around exams, but it never did me any harm because I knew that I was going to be in Sheffield, so made damn sure that all my notes were prepared well in advance so I could read them on the train. It worked anyway!
Regarding Dave's blog it's a funny one, that archive used to be at the top until a couple of months ago and then it moved. Not sure whether that was a theme change which was beyond his control though, I know I'm sometimes affected by those.
- 3:32 am
Selby does not fear Higgins and he's got a far better safety game than Ding. I'm going for Selby 6-4.

A sex partner works to honor your faith, and may deliver the goods.
Lucky numbers Aries: 1, 9, 13, 18, 24, 27
|Aries General
|An Aries can be moody and strongly opinionated. They are by nature very affectionate and crave the attention of others. They are also strong-willed and once they made up their mind about something they leave no stone unturned to achieve it. Arians are direct in speech and often lack diplomacy. They are fundamentalists in most areas of life, including sex. Arians crave sexually satisfying expression and a happily married Aries is likely to be loyal to his partner.

With Venus being their ruling planet they are very inclined to romance and love and have abundant sexual forces. Taureans like an artistic and luxurious environment and enjoy the finer things in life.

Built from the ground up to take full advantage of the power of PSP system, extensively optimized to deliver virtually non-existent load times, and boasting some of the most polished visuals and sounds found to date in a handheld RPG, Hexyz Force is the consummate gamer's game, the kind of experience and final package genre fans would make if they could call the shots.
Hexyz Force also stands as one of the most narrative-driven portable RPGs of all time, giving users not one, but two separate campaigns to embark upon. Complete and whole unto themselves, the two stories present radically different sides of a sweeping saga, satisfying gamers in search of a deep, handheld roleplaying experience while ultimately providing value-minded players with two games for the price of one.
Long ago, Norvia, the Goddess of Creation, descended from the heavens. Using the Holy Vessel, a divine chalice charged with all Force (the spiritual energy in the universe), she created life and the Divinities, shepherds of existence. For a while, all was good. After a time, Delgaia, the God of Destruction, brought about a great calamity known as the Gods' Remorse. He intended to return all Force to the Holy Vessel, returning Berge to the void. The Divinities sacrificed themselves to defeat Delgaia, delivering Berge from doom and sealing the God of Destruction away deep within the earth.
As Berge lay in ruin, a result of its bitter war, Norvia made a covenant. She would restore Berge to its former beauty on one condition. An Hour of Judgment would eventually come to pass, and in it, the world would have to decide its ultimate path: creation or destruction.
Key Features
- Two-sided fantasy adventure--A rich fantasy tale told in two wholly separate yet intricately intertwined parts. Play as Cecilia, a young cleric, or as Levant, an elite knight, as they unravel the mysteries of their world's impending destruction. Each side of the story takes approximately 25-30 hours to complete, for a total of 50 hours of engaging RPG play.
- Smooth and Streamlined--Get caught in the fun of RPGs, not the hassles. An extraordinary level of polish provides players with quick, stress-free battles, flexible strategy, and virtually no load times with a special option that allows players to install the game from UMD onto a Memory Stick.
- Gorgeous presentation--Adventure comes alive with approximately 20 minutes of anime movie cutscenes beautifully depicting the struggle of Creation versus Destruction. Game events unfold inside a huge and colorful 3D world, amplified by detailed characters and a sweeping musical score.
Hexyz Force will be available in stores and via PlayStation Network for $29.99.

As the author of Fresh & Easy Buzz says in a recent article about Tesco Neighborhood Market, "value is in across all grocery formats and it's not just a fad."
Many experts are calling the current economic climate a "perfect storm" of inflation, government debt, reduced consumer spending, weak dollar and intense foreign competition. It's enough to make retailers reach for the red pen to start marking down prices faster than you can say, "Dollar General."
Even the staunchest niche and aspirational retailers, including Whole Foods and Safeway, among others, are trying to find ways to fit the square peg of their specialty brands and products into the round hole of extreme price sensitivity.
Whole Foods has become known as "whole paycheck" because of the "high" prices consumers are willing to pay for the products and experience of the organic and natural foods retailer. But now the grocer is putting an extreme emphasis on its private labels, and its leadership has promised consumers it will find a way to make products less expensive.
But is this the right strategy? The right reaction?
Only time will tell. But there are certainly two retailers who will tell you that pairing another key brand attribute with low prices is a potentially profitable way to go: Target and Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart has put up big numbers in the past year, going from $43 to $59. Target stock is down about 10 points from this time last year.
Target sort of pioneered "get more, pay less," but as the economy has worsened, Wal-Mart has performed exceedingly well. That might be-and this is conjecture, of course-because Wal-Mart "owns" low prices, making it better suited to be recession-ready while injecting a bit of style as its business model allows.
Everyone else, from Whole Foods to Safeway to Tesco, would be playing catch-up to Wal-Mart's EDLP proposition at this point.
Remember, Wal-Mart fared none too well when it tried to water down its EDLP concept with style and name-brands that strayed from its core value proposition. Today's batch of niche and aspirational retailers would do well to remember to stay true to themselves.
That doesn't mean they can't graft a cost-savings aspect onto their existing strengths and points of differentiation, but it does mean they shouldn't shift away from what makes them successful.
Furthermore, they had better be ready to do things operationally and within the supply chain to reduce costs as much as possible to fund any kinds of discounts they want to use to entice consumers. Because shoppers are happy to pay less, but they don't want to sacrifice quality, and that money has to come from somewhere.

Kreeger Pottery: Contemporary Porcelain for Living
- Location: Austin, TX and online
- Specialty: Handmade, modern porcelain designs for home and kitchen.
- Price range: $$
- Website: kreegerpottery.com
Store History
- Founded by: Keith Kreeger
- Headquarters: Austin, Texas
We came across Keith Kreeger's studio and showroom while on Austin's annual East Austin Studio Tour, and while we saw plenty of amazing art pieces and beautiful designs, there was something that really spoke to us about Keith's work. If you've been looking for some lovely and meaningful pieces to add to your collection or give as gifts, we recommend a peek at Kreeger Pottery.
There are a couple of lines in Keith's "about me" section on his website that we liked a lot: "I think that a meal with friends that you've spent hours preparing calls for dinnerware crafted with the same care. I think flowers picked fresh from your garden look better in a vase you've picked as well. I think you deserve to know the maker of the objects you use every day."
He makes a good point. We love how clean and simple his pieces are, but with definite modern shapes and a fresh look. Color palettes are neutral and soft, and we love those plates and platters with the deep, gray-blue color. Designs and patterns are minimal, but the ones he does use are powerful. And he's just finished working on some prototypes of a lighting line which we are pretty in love with.
After having a gallery in Cape Cod for twelve years, he moved with his family to Austin, where he's set up a nice studio with a showroom that's available to look at by appointment. He also participates in plenty of local fairs and festivals like E.A.S.T., The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, Art of the Pot and more. Browse and purchase his designs from his online store (and enjoy free shipping now until December 15th!).

Two seniors and one junior advance to tournament
Monday's class one, sectional three golf championship was bittersweet for the Bulldogs. Seniors Layne Ray and Kaylee Stone and junior Abby Gooch earned all-sectional honors and booked their tickets to the MSHSAA Class One State Championship next week in Sedalia, but the team finished third, missing the goal of qualifying for the tournament by one place.
"Yesterday did not turn out the be the perfect day of golf that we were hoping to have," coach Lindsey Yancey said. "The team struggled, across the board, to make plays and recover from errors. I am proud that they never gave up, continued to fight for everything they did, but it was a hard loss for us considering what was on the line."
The Bulldogs finished behind conference rivals Moberly and Kirksville. Moberly and Mexico consistently battled in head-to-head matchups throughout the season. At the NCMC championship the Spartans beat the Bulldogs by three strokes. One week later at the district tournament, the Bulldogs prevailed.
After finishing third at the sectional championship a year ago, the Bulldogs had made improving on that finish, and qualifying for state in the process, a priority.
"After our win at the district tournament we had high hopes that we would meet our final goal of this season, to send our whole team to state," Yancey said. "As everything is wrapping up, I am still very proud that we have met all but one of our very challenging goals this season. It is certainly a bittersweet end to the season for these girls, after all the work they have put in, but our heads are held high and we are very proud of our three qualifiers."
After finishing fourth and ninth respectively, Ray and Stone will be competing at the state championship for the second time. This will be Gooch's first appearance at the tournament. She finished 14th in sectional competition.
"Abby is going for the first time, and after the many, many hours this young lady has put in to improve her golf game, I have no doubt she will represent Mexico very well and will use this opportunity to prepare for next season," Yancey said.
Despite the loss, Yancey is not disappointed with the team's performance.
"I can say with sincerity that this team is made up of some of the most amazing student athletes I've had the pleasure to work with," she said. "We have had so much fun this season and they have worked very hard, but most of all they have always played with honesty, character and good sportsmanship. I know without a doubt that they have made me a better coach."
The MSHSAA state golf championship will be held Oct. 21-22 in Sedalia.

GfK-ChartTrack announced its weekly top 40 video games this morning, noting that Portal 2 has already outdone The Orange Box, which only made it as high as the No. 3 slot on the U.K. charts when it was released in 2007. Warner Bros. Interactive's Mortal Kombat reboot also landed an uppercut, claiming the No. 2 spot ahead of perennial chart-topper, Call of Duty: Black Ops.
The all-formats top 10:
1. Portal 2 (EA)Of note on Portal 2 sales: more than half of the copies moved in the U.K. last week (Steam's likely robust totals not included) were for the Xbox 360, with 35% going to the PlayStation 3, and the remainder on PC.
2. Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros)
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision Blizzard)
4. Zumba Fitness (505 Games)
5. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (Lucasarts)
6. Operation Flashpoint: Red River (Codemasters)
8. Crysis 2 (EA)
9. Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo)
10. Homefront (THQ)
Sharkey says: As you saw in our review, we're big fans of Portal 2. I'm a bit late to the dance and still working my way through the single-player campaign, but I'm having an absolute blast. The writing is fantastic and the new testing elements create some interesting puzzles. My only qualm so far is that the puzzles aren't all that challenging. I'm sure the difficulty gets upped in the later test chambers, but I've flown through the levels I've played, and without giving anything away, I'm now getting to know Cave Johnson. Here's to hoping the modding community digs into this one to create some real mind-benders.

Conflicts of Commitment and Reportable Outside Activities (III.B.1)
Volume III: Ethics
Chapter B: Conflicts
Responsible Executive: Vice President for Ethics and Compliance
Responsible Office: Office of the Vice President for Ethics and Compliance
Date Issued: July 1, 2011
Date Last Revised: October 2, 2015
Statement of Policy
Reason for This Policy

History and Updates
The University recognizes that Reportable Outside Activities can in many circumstances offer important opportunities for Employees to expand their professional horizons, provide valuable public service, and transfer their skills and knowledge for the benefit of the community at large. Reportable Outside Activities, however, should be structured to avoid a Conflict of Commitment. The specific responsibilities and activities that constitute an appropriate and primary commitment to the University will vary among units and will depend on the nature of each Employee's responsibilities, but must be based on and consistent with this policy.
A full-time Employee's primary professional or occupational commitment is to the University. Part-time Employees are expected to devote their professional or occupational time and energy in accordance with their agreed upon commitments. No Employee may engage in a Reportable Outside Activity that gives rise to a Conflict of Commitment.
To make sure that an appropriate balance is achieved, no Employee may engage in a Reportable Outside Activity until 1) the Employee has submitted the Reportable Outside Activity on a Reportable Outside Activity Form and 2) the Unit Head or OA Officer has given written approval for the Employee's participation in the Reportable Outside Activity described in the Reportable Outside Activity Form. Each Unit Head has a continuing obligation to monitor the Reportable Outside Activities of Employees they supervise and to withdraw in writing any previously granted permission if the Unit Head determines that the Reportable Outside Activity has resulted in a Conflict of Commitment for an Employee. Approval to engage in a Reportable Outside Activity does not alter or diminish in any sense the duties and responsibilities of the Employee to the University.
No tenured, tenure-track or full-time member of the Faculty may hold tenure at any institution other than Purdue University, except in extraordinary circumstances and with the specific written permission of the Provost or the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, as the case may be.
An Employee who 1) fails to file a Reportable Outside Activity Form for any Reportable Outside Activity, 2) files an incomplete, misleading or inaccurate Reportable Outside Activity Form, 3) engages in any Reportable Outside Activity without the written permission of his or her Unit Head or the OA Officer or after such permission has been withdrawn, 4) fails to file an amended Reportable Outside Activity Form if the scope or nature of an Reportable Outside Activity changes or 5) otherwise violates any of the provisions in this policy may be subject to appropriate discipline.
An Employee who disagrees with a decision of a Unit Head or the OA Officer regarding the existence of a Conflict of Commitment or the necessary elements of a Conflict of Commitment management plan may submit a written appeal in accordance with Section IV of the Procedures.
Situations involving Reportable Outside Activities also may involve issues addressed in the University's policy on Individual Financial Conflicts of Interest (III.B.2), the policy on Effort Reporting (II.C.1) and in the Regulations Governing the Use and Assignment of University Facilities (IV.B.1). Employees must comply with these and all other applicable policies and regulations, including but not limited to those regarding leaves and sabbaticals.
This policy provides a framework for evaluating Employee requests to engage in Reportable Outside Activities based on the fundamental principle that all full-time Employees' primary professional or occupational commitment is to Purdue University. The University believes it is necessary to maintain sufficient flexibility for evaluating such requests using criteria appropriate to the individual units in which Employees work. Such an approach provides Employees with meaningful guidance for the continued development and future structuring of productive external relationships.
This policy also provides assurance to Employees, the University community, federal and state agencies, and the public that potential Conflicts of Commitment are examined and conducted in a manner consistent with institutional and public values. It is intended to maintain the professional autonomy of Employees as appropriate to their respective disciplines and professions and to protect Employees from unwarranted suspicion that their Reportable Outside Activities divert them from fulfilling their responsibilities to the University or that those Reportable Outside Activities may improperly influence University decisions or operations.
Finally, this policy promotes compliance with Indiana Code 35-44.1-1-3, which prohibits ghost employment with governmental entities.
All units and Employees of Purdue University are governed by this policy.

Conflict of Commitment
A situation in which an Employee's Reportable Outside Activities would likely interfere with the Employee's ability to fulfill his or her commitment to the University or if such Employee's responsibilities, financial interest or opportunity for personal benefit in connection with such Reportable Outside Activity would likely interfere with the Employee's professional judgment in exercising any University duty or responsibility.
Due to the nature of their appointments and responsibilities, outside employment and other Reportable Outside Activities of nonexempt or clerical and service staff members that take place during off hours or during leave time will in most circumstances not divert their attention from University duties and will not represent a Conflict of Commitment. However, if for a specific Reportable Outside Activity, interference with such employee's normal University duties may occur, approval of such outside employment or Reportable Outside Activity is required.
Consistent with its missions of discovery, delivery and engagement, the University encourages its tenured and tenure-track Faculty to practice their professions. Such practice is often enhanced by engaging in Consulting. Such Consulting by tenure and tenure-track Faculty, when combined with all other Reportable Outside Activities, generally may not exceed, on the average, one business day per week during the term of such Employee's appointment.
In determining whether a Reportable Outside Activity constitutes a Conflict of Commitment, the University will consider whether such activity is to take place during the normal weekday business and/or instructional hours of the University or when an Employee is in paid or unpaid leave status.
Conflicts Committee
The committee (including subcommittees thereof) established and operating under the University's policy on Individual Financial Conflicts of Interest (III.B.2). Said committee will also perform the duties assigned by this policy on Conflicts of Commitment and Reportable Outside Activities.
An Employee's use of his or her professional capabilities and knowledge for the benefit of a third party in return for immediate or prospective gain. Consulting does not generally include service without compensation, or with honoraria less than $1,000 annually, 1) on governmental agencies and boards, 2) on granting agency peer-group review panels, 3) on advisory groups for other universities or 4) in similar capacities primarily for the purpose of providing a public or University service.
An employee of Purdue, wherever located, and whether full-time or part-time, including but not limited to all executive officers, faculty and staff.

- General Procedures
All Employees must file with their Unit Head a separate Reportable Outside Activity Form for each new Reportable Outside Activity and on an annual basis for each Reportable Outside Activity in which they continue to participate, even if they have previously received permission to participate in such activity. If the scope or nature of a Reportable Outside Activity changes after permission has been granted, the Employee must file a new Reportable Outside Activity Form and obtain the approvals required by this policy to engage in the changed activity.
Within 10 business days of receiving a properly completed Reportable Outside Activity Form, each Unit Head will:
- Determine if particular Reportable Outside Activities will result in a Conflict of Commitment or will otherwise violate this policy.
- Approve or deny each Reportable Outside Activity Form request based on such determination or forward the Reportable Outside Activity Form to the OA Officer if a determination cannot be made.
- Monitor approved Reportable Outside Activities to make sure they have not developed over time into Conflicts of Commitment or other violations of this policy.
In the event a Unit Head determines that a Reportable Outside Activity Form has not been properly completed, he or she will promptly (generally within three days) notify the Employee of such determination.
A Unit Head may not grant permission for an Employee to engage in a Reportable Outside Activity that will result in a Conflict of Commitment or that otherwise violates this policy. Unit Heads may consult at any time with the OA Officer and with their own Unit Head for assistance in interpreting and implementing this policy and in deciding if a particular Reportable Outside Activity will or may result in a Conflict of Commitment.
Upon deciding whether to grant or deny an Employee's request to engage in a Reportable Outside Activity, the Unit Head promptly will give written notice of the decision to the requesting Employee, Human Resource Services (including a copy of the Reportable Outside Activity Form for inclusion in the Employee's personnel file) and such other direct or indirect supervisors of the Employee as deemed appropriate by the Unit Head.
Upon receiving a Reportable Outside Activity Form, the OA Officer promptly will evaluate the request using this policy to determine if the proposed Reportable Outside Activity, by itself or in conjunction with any of the Employee's other approved Reportable Outside Activities, would result in a Conflict of Commitment or otherwise violate this policy. The OA Officer may:
- Request that the Employee provide the OA Officer with additional information to assist in evaluating a request,
- Consult with the Unit Head, the requesting Employee and any other person that the OA Officer deems appropriate to consult, and
- Condition permission to engage in a Reportable Outside Activity on acceptance by the Employee of a management plan to limit his or her participation in such activity within stated parameters. The OA Officer will include a copy of the management plan with the written permission.
A Reportable Outside Activity Form submitted by the President will be reviewed by the chairperson of the Board of Trustees with the advice and assistance of the OA Officer. The chairperson may consult with the rest of the Board of Trustees or any person he or she deems appropriate in order to determine if the requested Reportable Outside Activity would create a Conflict of Commitment. The chairperson may grant or deny the President's request or condition permission on an agreement by the President to limit his or her participation in such activity within stated parameters. Written notice of the decision will be provided to the President.
If at any time previously granted permission for an Employee to engage in a Reportable Outside Activity is withdrawn, the Employee must stop engaging in the activity.

The Conflicts Committee will generally render its decision within 10 days following receipt of such written appeal. The President may appeal a decision by the chairperson of the Board of Trustees to the Board of Trustees, whose decision regarding the matter will be final for all purposes.

Summer Solstice
Summer arrives tomorrow in the northern hemisphere, as the Sun stands farthest north for the entire year. It's also the longest day of the year in the north, with at least 14 hours of daylight for everyone in the United States.
It's not too surprising that the summer solstice has been an important day for almost every major civilization. Thousands of years ago, astronomers in Egypt and China could predict the solstice dates far in advance. And skywatchers in England built Stonehenge and many similar structures to help them predict and record solstices and other important astronomical dates.
Astronomers in the Americas built observatories, too — hundreds or even thousands of years before the first Europeans ventured across the Atlantic.
Perhaps the best example is El Caracol in the ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá. It was built around 1100 years ago, and was altered several times over the centuries.
El Caracol is a cylindrical tower that contains a series of tall, narrow windows. Priests used this structure to keep a close watch on the motions of the Sun, Moon, and the planet Venus. Two of its windows align with the sunrise and sunset points on the summer solstice.
This knowledge of the sky helped the Maya maintain both agricultural and religious calendars. It helped them know when to plant crops, when to sacrifice to the gods, and when to start wars — events regulated by the clock-like workings of the solar system.

Rollin' On TV Expands Reach into 3 New States
November 2, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Rollin' On TV Expands Reach into 3 New States
Mattapoisett Mass.-based Rollin' On TV has expanded its reach into three more states including Oklahoma, Minnesota and Wisconsin, according to a press release.
Cox Sports TV, a major sports network throughout the south that covers seven Gulf Coast states and Virginia, has now expanded its cable and Dish Network reach to include a large portion of Oklahoma. Rollin' On TV can be seen at 9 a.m. on Saturdays along with other times during the week depending on major sports coverage.
MIDCO SPORTS NET, which currently airs Rollin' On TV on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday in North and South Dakota, has completed a cable acquisition that includes the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
"Because of the baseball playoffs and World Series along with the NASCAR final chase races on some of our stations, we postponed the launch of our new season to Nov. 15," said Jose Moniz, co-producer and host for Rollin' On TV. "We felt it wouldn't be fair to the companies featured on these shows to be pre-empted due to these major sports events."
The new season starts out with a visit to Kickin' Kampers in Tucson, Ariz., a small company that builds custom truck campers and trailers along with building and retrofitting RVs for disabled individuals. In addition, Jeff Johnson visits Columbia State Park in California.
The second show features Alan Feld at Sportsmobile West as the company celebrates their 50th year of building unique Class B motorhomes that can be found in remote areas around the U.S. and the world.

Amy's Vintage Modern Mix in Sacramento
Name: Amy
Location: Sacramento, California
Amy tells us about her home: I consider my home a respite from the otherwise very urban 'grid life' that I live. I strategically chose this neighborhood as I'm within blocks of the best restaurants and nightlife Sacramento has to offer yet also within 2 blocks of historic Sutter's Fort.
I feel most comfortable being surrounded equally by items that have historical significance and meaning as well as modernity. In every room of my home, you'll find family heirlooms mixed with contemporary pieces. For example, I have a papercut silhouette of my mom, my grandfather's wooden mantle clock, my grandmother's milk glass candy dish and my great uncle's collection of wooden decorative plates all on display to remind me of family. Yet along side these pieces, I own a Konstantin Grcic Chair One and Bruno Rainaldi's Sapien Bookcase from DWR. I love being surrounded by things that have special meaning to me or remind me of a notable time in my life or an important person.
My overall style definitely does not fit easily into a tidy box, but is rather a healthy mix of vintage and modern. I'm most inspired by my creative friends and mostly furniture and product designers. My 1920's apartment has good bones complete with a picture rail but I'd have to say my biggest design challenge has been adjusting to living along an alley where both large trucks and people on foot are the norm. It's one of the tradeoffs of living in the grid. I've had to embrace the drapes but overall I wouldn't trade the noisy alley for the walkable location. I get beautiful light in the morning in my living room and can even see a great urban mural. Some of my favorite restaurants are literally within blocks of my house. I couldn't ask for more in the California Capitol; 'City of Trees'!
Thanks, Amy!

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The only quarterback in the stadium Monday night who knew how to defeat Alabama wasn't allowed to take a snap.
Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner, watched from the stands, perhaps reminiscing about his team's upset win at Tuscaloosa on Nov. 10.
Manziel plays for Texas A&M, however, not Notre Dame.
Notre Dame's quarterback had no clue, but neither did anyone else in the Fighting Irish traveling party.
Forty-four days and nights of biblical hype for this year's Bowl Championship Series title game produced not a classic, but a football flood.
Alabama's dominating 42-14 victory over Notre Dame at Sun Life Stadium, before a crowd of 80,120, ratified greatness in Tuscaloosa as it exposed fundamental flaws in South Bend.

Homeland Season 3 Episode 8 recap
It's hard not to fixate on details like this because they come in such an unusual way. Little dribs and drabs of relationship issues and personal lives that are in such stark contrast to the mechanics of the CIA's day-to-day.
But seriously. How old is Mira? Where did she and Saul meet and start this weird dance of being in love but actually kind of irritated with each other and with the realities of their lives together? I get that Saul is gone, both physically and emotionally, a lot…leaving Mira to have affairs with men who are actually only in it for the access to the home computer. Which…the home computer? If this is counterintelligence, is that really the computer they want to tap? Or is Mira into something we don't know about? I'm sure there's a simile to be made about Saul cheating on Mira with his work. I'll try to avoid it, but she was the one who pointed out that he speaks more softly to Carrie than to anyone else. What I love is that he always has – from the pilot, Saul has been infuriated and infatuated with her.
She is, of course, infuriating. This episode saw Carrie at what might be her purest. So incredibly focused on her job and so damned good at it. Honestly, that scene where she's in the car after having met with Leland's deputy – she's actually gorgeous in her focus. This is the Carrie we know.
But so is the Carrie who storms across the parking lot, getting herself shot in the process. I mean, I know it was supposed to be dramatic, but come on! It's Carrie Mathison! She can't ever leave well-enough alone. She can't ever let a mission play out the way it's supposed to. If this was a sitcom, this would be the moment when the funny music would play. Carrie gets shot! Because she just can't follow orders! What's Dar Adal to do? She just won't listen! Who knows what to do with these rogue agents? Wacky music, followed by a heartwarming moment with Quinn who just couldn't help but shoot her!
Seriously, Carrie's right to be concerned, though. The alleged-but-probably-actual Langley bomber was executed and dissolved with acid by people she's pretending to be in league with. Oops. Furthermore, that means the double-agency she and Saul have set up – which is, of course, a phenomenal thing to watch, since I catch myself wondering about Carrie's loyalties every time she's in a scene with them – may not be as much of a dupe as they thought. The constant arranging and rearranging of who's on top is what keeps the show interesting, and the fact that Leland didn't blink in the face of a threat is something significant.
Speaking of which, how or why do we feel about Fara being interrogated at home? Does this add something extra to your viewing, or is it just an attempt to create some mystery and drama around a character who really hasn't had an impact on any of us? I mean, I get it, on some level – anyone could be a threat and in an episode named "A Red Wheel Barrow" there are definitely red herring comments to be made. But going home to see that she cares for her father who is concerned about her but also about the family back home in Tehran doesn't make me more interested in her. That could be anyone's story. And of course, I'm supposed to think that "anyone" wouldn't drive by the site of the double murder on the way home but seriously? That kind of thing dances in the nightmares of everyone who encounters it. It doesn't make me more interested in Fara...
But Saul – Saul is a baller, as Sasha would say. Did you all see how he got the Senator kicked out of a high-level meeting? Did you cheer when he didn't blink in front of Carrie at the meeting when she heard the Brody intel? Saul may have nine days left, but by God he is going to spend them well. Your mileage may vary, on whether going to see Brody is well-spent, but Saul has been on a mission all of us could barely understand all season. If he's going to flame out, he's going to go big and bright, and that includes bringing those red-ringed blue eyes home – or at least out of the Tower Of David.
And what will Brody find at home? (Don't say Chris) You thought, just like I did, that Carrie was going to whisper her other secret to Quinn when they were riding in the van. She was shot in the shoulder – assumedly high enough up that she'll be fine and not lose too much blood – but is it going to mean the question she's been ignoring for the past 13 weeks is going to become a non-issue? Or is it something she'll welcome Brody home with? Carrie can't know, of course, the degree to which he's been broken…again. So does that change her decision to, um, not make a decision? Is she committing to a child assuming she'll never see its father again? Given that she called it "personal time" and not something she had to "go do", is she committing to the child at all?
I kind of…don't care. Is that nuts? Crazy goes-off-book Carrie is one thing, but out-of-control mentally unstable Carrie is another, and I want the season to let her get stronger and nuttier and more in partnership and in conflict with Saul – not more helpless. Whatever gets us there – that's what I want to see.

Very early days for me. I've gone very narrow (19mm) and I've had one Crit on it, but so far so good. One thing though, I didn't end up using the tape, they were glued on like normal.

A fond send-off for an icon as North Park Theatre makes transition
"One student, please." "Enjoy the show." "Two seniors, please." "Thank you, enjoy the show."
Two adults. One senior. Two students. More adults.
And so it went this week at the little window of the one-man ticket booth in the welcoming lobby of the North Park Theatre, where they prefer cash and they always have $2 bills to give in change.
The old movie house on Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo enjoyed a fond send-off Thursday and earlier in the week, as it heads to a future under new management. Dozens of people were turning out every night for "Queen City," a film with deep Buffalo roots, just like the theater itself.
"It was the place to come in the 1980s, just to be cool," said Peter McGennis, director, writer and star of "Queen City." "It didn't matter what was on the screen."
Nick Cintorino, who lives in the Old First Ward, was there Thursday night with Norm Dechert, who worked at the North Park for more than 40 years.
"I'm an old theater historian," Cintorino said as he recalled the North Park's various owners and operators.
"It was the North Park Cinema at one point, playing sub-run films at first-run prices."
Several attendees said they came Thursday for sentimental reasons, but many were also regulars. Sue Overdorf and her husband, Ted, were there from Hamburg, and will be back. "It's a remnant, but it's grand," she said. "We like the arty films, and they've always been dedicated to them here."
The audience was upbeat and curious about what comes next, since word had gone out that the North Park would be reopened in a new incarnation after Dipson Theatres did not renew its lease for the building.
Dipson has been showing art house movies, local productions and Oscar-worthy independent films for decades in the Beaux Arts theater, the last remaining movie house of nine in Buffalo built and once operated by Shea's. (Dechert could easily cite the dates: It opened in November 1920, and Bill Dipson took over the theater on July 12, 1967, he said).
The building's current owner, attorney Thomas J. Eoannou, said in late May that he intends to do some restoration work on the theater before reopening it in partnership with Left Bank restaurant owner Michael G. Christiano. Updates could include a new digital projector – considered almost mandatory today to handle the preferred format for movies – and upgraded seating, which would be a dream come true for faithful filmgoers who have endured the theater's lumpy, cracking cushions in recent years.
Dipson Theatres left the space with a salute to the city and its audience, inviting McGennis to each screening this week. In lieu of previews, McGennis talked to the audience ahead of the shows about making his movie in Buffalo, and he visited with fans and friends afterward.
The film itself is a collection of some of the city's well-known pieces of art and culture – the photos of Milton Rogovin and the actors Vincent O'Neill and Josephine Hogan, the Hotel Lafayette (pre-renovation) and the Central Terminal, and the Colored Musicians Club and Rick Jeanneret.
McGennis wrote the music as well as the screenplay, and brought in such performers as Susan Tedeschi, Allen Toussaint, James Cotton, Sharon Jones, Maria Muldaur and the late Magic Slim, along with Vivica A. Fox. In front of the live audience Wednesday, his enthusiasm for his art and for his city was infectious – "I wanted to honor the living history of Buffalo, but also of Cleveland, Detroit … it's a Rust Belt serenade."
No date has been set, but Eoannou was adamant that the North Park will reopen – and still show movies – soon.
As the sign outside the nearby Floral Explorations shop put it, "North Park Theatre is here to stay."

UNM frat suspended during sexual assault investigation
A University of New Mexico fraternity was placed on emergency suspension after allegations of date rape and hosting an unauthorized party with alcohol.
Debbie Morris with the university's Student Affairs said the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity would cease all activities as a fraternity, saying that its members "can go to class, but that's basically it."
According to UNM police, a woman who attended a SAE frat party on April 2 said she woke up the next morning in bed with a man and not feeling very well. She went to Sexual Assault Nurses Examiners Unit to determine if she had been sexually assaulted, police said.
Investigators said a man involved in the case was cooperating with investigators.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — With Chris Sale likely out of the White Sox rotation for the start of the season with a broken foot, rookie Carlos Rodon's chances of making the rotation have seemingly increased.
Or at least that's what one would surmise when looking at the competition Rodon is facing.
"No," manager Robin Ventura said. "Again, you're going to see how he throws and what happens when we go out there. I don't think it increases anything. It just increases the fact that it will be somebody else that would have to fill in for (Sale). But I don't think it increases anybody's (chance )."
By force of habit, I began shaking my head, or SMH as they...

After an all-night negotiating session, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that he is "not nearly as optimistic" as he was last night about avoiding a government shutdown before a Friday deadline, saying of a federal funding gap: "it looks like it's headed in that direction."
The Democratic leader said that the two sides have essentially agreed on the amount of money set to be cut from the long-term budget but that Republicans have drawn a line in the sand over "ideology" – including policy issues dealing with funding for Planned Parenthood and the Environmental Protection Agency.
"Our differences are no longer over the savings we get on government spending, Reid said. "The only thing holding up an agreement is ideology."
Reid's comments came as the White House announced another meeting with congressional leaders scheduled for 1 pm ET. The government will shut down if an agreement is not reached by midnight on Friday.
House Republicans are lobbying for some "policy riders" – attachments to the budget bill – including ones that would defund the president's health care plan, cut all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, and target EPA greenhouse gas rules.
Those riders, particularly those relating to abortion, have no place in a budget bill, an exasperated Reid argued.
"It's not realistic to shut down the government on a debate dealing with abortion," the Nevada lawmaker said. "It's not realistic and it's not fair to the American people."
Reid also announced that the Senate cannot pass a one-week stopgap bill – including very deep cuts but continued funding for the Pentagon - that would delay a shutdown.
The House today will vote on that bill, which would fund the Department of Defense through the rest of the year, cut $12 billion in spending and prevent the District of Columbia from using city taxes for funding abortion for low income women.
On the Senate floor today, Reid called that one-week measure "a non-starter."
But Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell urged Democrats to agree to the proposal, saying that the stopgap measure is "well within the bounds of what their own leadership has defined as acceptable."
The alternative, McConnell said, is a shut down.
NBC's Kelly O'Donnell and Shawna Thomas contributed to this report.

20 Dreamy Walk-In Closets To Covet
There are few things more rewarding – or glamorous – than getting dressed in a perfectly organized walk-in closet. We've curated the most gorgeous House & Home closets featured in our pages through the years. Click through for some serious closet envy – and no, we don't mean over the clothes.
5 Stylish Organizing Solutions
It would be a shame to keep clothes as beautiful as these hidden behind doors. Rolling racks keep ornate garments on display. A vintage Singer sewing chair and a weathered rug complement the colors in the clothes.
Sleek and simple floor-to-ceiling cabinets keep clothes out of sight, making items like the vintage chair and Ventetian-glass poliedri chandelier the main attraction.
This polished men's walk-in features shallow drawers that allow ties to lie flat, with deeper drawers beneath for sweaters and golf shirts.
Open shelves hold the shoes while an open-concept hanging unit lets the colorful clothes do the talking. A pretty tufted bench, exotic wool rug and a modern gold light fixture give this compact space a show-stopping look.
This small walk-in is kept streamlined with an extremely curated collection of clothes. A floor-to-ceiling window offers floods of natural light.
Mirrored surfaces and a winter white palette give this dressing room a super spacious feel, while a plush bench and worn runner create a luxurious environment.
Maximize space with a double-hanging system for shirts, skirts and shorter garments. Luxurious amenities like illuminated shoe racks and a purse collection behind glass-panelled cabinet doors offer a glamorous place to get dressed.
In this dream dressing room, linen-covered boxes hold shoes and sweaters, doors hide hanging closet areas, and the marble-topped island features drawers on both sides. Antique pulls and a delicate 1930s chandelier enhance the room's vintage appeal.
The dressing room has built-in storage and shelving in every corner. A small desk doubles as a vanity and impromptu office, while shelving above the desk displays favorite shoes and photographs.
Designer Lisa Rogers transformed an extra bedroom into an elaborate storage space. The absence of doors allows homeowner Patricia Lovett-Reid to see all of her clothes at a glance. A freestanding unit in the center of the room provides more storage and a spot to lay out outfits.
Separate a closet or dressing area with affordable curtains in lieu of doors. Damask drapes create an elegant entrance into homeowner Betsy Aziz's principal bedroom's dressing room. The star pendant, a trademark of designer Connie Braemer, adds a touch of whimsy.

Panelled closets and drawers keep essentials organized behind a tailored façade. The custom cabinetry, designed by California Closets, offers ample floor-to-ceiling storage. Crystal knobs, richly upholstered benches and mirrored doors exude luxury, while softly-lined drawers are the perfect place to store treasured jewelry.

If you're lucky enough to have a walk-in closet, make sure it has an island. The drawers act as a perfect space to keep smaller items like jewelry and belts organized, and the surface allows you to display a selection of your favorites.
Keep things organized with open shelving and clean lines. Plenty of natural light sets off the clean-lined components, like open shelves, walnut wall panels and stainless steel clothing rods, all of which enhance the boutique-shop style closet. Extra storage boxes keep out-of-season items out of the way and open shelving makes getting dressed a cinch.
Designer Christine Ralphs' crisp white dressing room highlights her love of fashion, artwork and statement design. White walls and extra-tall cabinets reflect natural light, while a graphic striped rug and Deco-style light fixture introduce contrast.
Stylist Sabrina Linn's dressing room, which connects the bathroom to the bedroom, has no doors, creating flow and a reason to keep it tidy. She installed prefab shelving to make use of the available vertical space and create the look of custom built-ins.
A shoe rack is a must for any organized closet or dressing room. A built-in that blends seamlessly with the rest of your shelving is preferable, but a free-standing shelf like this one can work just as well — goodbye unsightly hanging door organizer!
White marble, brass knobs and Georgian-style mouldings create a gracious and stylish storage space. The island's drawers store delicates such as lingerie and stockings. The bench provides a convenient spot for packing handbags and suitcases. Beaded pink pendant lamps and brass hardware add lustrous details.
Storage space is cleverly added to a bedroom's entryway. Foregoing doors gives the area the feeling of a small dressing room and makes it easy to access. White built-ins and chrome hardware create a clean, modern look.
Designer Rosie Daykin had sleek white closets installed in her contemporary principal bedroom. The custom built-ins offer lots of hanging and shelf space, while spotlights illuminate the contents when doors are open. Vein-cut travertine flooring adds elegance to the room.
