Welcome to The Great Escape, one of the best rental homes on lake Gaston! This lake house has 500 feet of shoreline on a unique peninsula lot with spectacular lake views from three sides of the home! One side has a protected cove for your family to swim with minimal boat traffic at your dock with 10 feet deep water (enough to jump from sundeck). Outside your quiet cove, you have 1.5 miles of an awesome cove to ski, wakeboard and fish. You also have a covered dock with boat lift plus a jet ski lift. You can rest assured your boat will be protected from rain and wake chop.
This lake house has it all: spectacular views from 3 sides of the home, deep water at dock, gentle slope only 30 yards from the back deck of the home and a quiet dock area to swim without worrying about your kids getting run over by a jet ski or having hundreds of wakes hammer your boat.
The home is a beautiful, brick, two story contemporary home with first floor master and laundry. There are 5 bedrooms, loft game room, rec room, screened in porch and 3 1/2 baths. Total square footage is 4000. Internet WI-FI, DirecTV, whole home DVR, great cell service for Verizon and land phone line is included.
Bedroom configurations are:
Master King Suite #1 - First floor luxurious master suite with king bed, balcony to deck, lake views on 2 sides and full private bath with lake views and walk-in closet.
Second master bedroom #2 - First floor bedroom has queen bed, full bath, lake view and office desk with laser printer.
First floor bedroom #3 - First floor guest bedroom has a queen bed next to full bath.
Second floor bedroom #4 - Upstairs bedroom has a queen bed with lake view next to full bath.
Second floor bedroom #5 - Upstairs bunk room with 3 sets of bunk beds (6 twin beds) plus 1 twin bed and access to full bath down hall.
Loft - Upper level has loft with 3 twin beds and 1 futon (over looking kitchen/great room).
Rec Room - Upstairs rec room has 1 twin bed with flat screen, DirecTV and whole home DVR service.
Main level great room has 10 chair dining table convenient with kitchen and large deck overlooking lake. The kitchen has new stainless steel refrigerator (with 2 ice makers) and granite counter tops. Great room has Hi Def flat screen TV with blue tooth enabled sound bar and blue ray player. The deck spans the width of the home and has a drop down section designed to lower the hand rail allowing awesome views of the lake from the upper deck and inside the home. The deck also has a Weber gas grill, Weber charcoal grill and 5 person dining table with umbrella.
The home is on a secluded 1.5 acre lot. There is a gently sloping stone walkway from house to the covered double boathouse with one lift for renter, sundeck, 2 jet ski lifts (one for renter) and paddle boat for renter. The concrete parking lot has a basketball hoop.
The Great Escape is located on Great Creek in the northwest quadrant of Lake Gaston. The home is a 10 minute drive from I-85. Great winery and golf only a few miles away.
Checkin time is 4:00 PM and checkout 11:00 AM EST. Pets are considered, $150 per pet, must be crated trained and have flea/tick applied 30 days prior to stay. No smoking in home or screened in porch. Max occupancy is 19. Parties over 19 people are not allowed due to septic system limits and limited parking. Primary renter must be over 25 years old.
Pillows, blankets and comforters are provided. Sheets and towels can be rented for an additional $200.
What is the water skiing like in Great Creek? The creek is protected from the main lake by a no wake zone and box culvert. That keeps many of the main lake yahoos out of our "private" creek. With 1.5 mile run, it makes a perfect spot for slalom skiing and wakeboarding. It's not uncommon to see some barefooting and great slalom skiing in the mornings. The jet skis and tubes generally don't come out until 11:00 AM.
How is the fishing in Great Creek? The fishing is pretty good right from the dock at the home. Bream (Blue Gill) and catfish are easy to catch from the dock. We also have large mouth bass all around the docks in the creek. There are many bass tournaments that run out of the nearby Holly Grove Marina and many of the fishermen tell me our cove is as good as any at holding large mouth "keepers". The main lake offers a variety of good fishing spots including large grass fields as you head up into the river.
How is the boat traffic in Great Creek? During the week is generally good throughout the day. The weekends in the summer can get busy in the creek between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. When it gets too much boat traffic to ski or wakeboard, you can get into calm water in the river in about 20 minutes. Going out of Great Creek and heading north, you enter the river portion of Lake Gaston. The river offers miles of calm water, straight runs and deep water (26 feet). Since the water comes from the bottom of Kerr Lake, the water is cool which is refreshing in the heat of the summer. Deep, cool water as calm as butter is awesome for skiing and boarding.
Do you any water toys? We provide a 2 person peddle boat and 2 floating lounge chairs. We have 2 stand up paddle boards available for rent, cost is $150 for one and $275 for both. They are 10'8" Isle boards with adjustable paddles.
Lake Gaston is one of the truly superior lakes in the country, located in the piedmont area of northern NC and southern VA. It covers 20,300 acres, 34 miles long, and has over 350 miles of shoreline. The lake has very little water level fluctuation year round and has the highest water-quality rating in eastern USA (NC Stream Sanitation Commission, A2 rating). Lake Gaston is well stocked with game fish including striped and largemouth bass, walleye bream, crappie, sunfish, perch and several varieties of catfish. Lake Gaston has an average depth of 40+ feet (~80+ ft. deep near eastern end at dam).

Hi all...
I know it has been a while.
We were assigned today to come back in tomorrow with the titles of three books that we would want with us if we were stranded on a desert island. I came up with four.
1. "To Kill a Mockingbird" - It is the only book I have ever read that I kept hoping the author could find a way to extend further. It is magnificently written. I was sad when it ended, because I wanted it to continue on.
2. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" - This book is also wonderful. It is a reminder to me that a marriage must have more than an intimate mental connection in order to be a happy marriage. It must also have an intimate physical connection. Those two connections are sides of the same coin. It also reminds me that missing our spouses sexually is not just a physical statement. It is a statement of intimacy. Related to that, we should also remember that what happens to us physically also happens to us spiritually/psychologically. Body and spirit/soul/psyche are not absolute dichotomies.
3. "Robinson Crusoe" - This requires no explanation.
4. "US Army Survival Manual" - This also requires no explanation.
If any of my loyal readers has another idea, I would love to know.
Have a good evening.

Books on a Desert Island
Posted by Rav Sean Gorman at 7:56 PM
1 comment:
Hi Rabbi. Interesting question! It was very difficult to pick my personal favourites from a lifetime of reading, but I based my decisions on how many times I still re-read certain books, finding new and fascinating aspects each time.ReplyDelete
I absolutely agree with you about "To Kill a Mockingbird" (as a teenager, I named my pet budgie Scout!). But I would replace your other three with "Gone with the Wind" and "Exodus" (both containing fascinating fictional characters in the backdrop of tumultuous historical times) and "Atlas Shrugged" (the only book about economics and the business world that ever caught my imagination).

Price on Rafael Soriano would need to drop way, way down for White Sox to get him, source says.
MLBTR notes the Yankees, Rangers and Cardinals are also out.
Price on Rafael Soriano would need to drop way, way down for White Sox to get him, source says.
MLBTR notes the Yankees, Rangers and Cardinals are also out.
The White Sox already are on the hook for at least $120 million in roster commitments, and could be close to matching the highest payroll ever for a season ($121 million in 2008). Adding Soriano would definitely take them into new financial world. The 31-year-old Rafael Soriano made $7.25 million last season and will get a healthy raise on that for 2011.
Furthermore, as Buford mentioned, Soriano is over 30 and a Boras guy.
Kenny, if you need pitching look elsewhere.
UPDATE: Is Phil Rogers suggesting the Sox trade John Danks to clear payroll to sign Rafael Soriano? Oh God!
there seems to be interest in a rafael soriano/Ozzie Guillen pairing. but word thus far is, chisox have little if any $ left
chisox pen not bad w/ sale, thornton, santos, crain, pena. but soriano would be fine jenks replacement — if they find $
Will Santa Jerry visit the South Side again?
BTW, Soriano is a Type-A free-agent who was offered arbitration. So, if the Sox sign him they'll send their 2nd round pick to Tampa Bay (they gave the 1st round pick, #23, to Washington when they signed Adam Dunn).
The White Sox are checking into free-agent closer Rafael Soriano, yet another indication they may trade or non-tender Bobby Jenks. The Rays figure to lose Soriano and several of their other relievers as free agents and lack the flexibility to buy comparable replacements.
Soriano is a type-A free agent. The White Sox have the 23rd pick in the 2011 draft, which is unprocteted and will be given to the Rays if the Sox sign Soriano (provided the Rays offer him arbitration and he declines).
Soriano's salary was $6.35 million in 2009 and $7.35 million in 2010.

Once it became clear that the werewolves weren't going to be easily reasoned with or leave in the near future the party began to plan on how they could get to the center without fighting three werewolves. Eventually they decided to try and sneak in, but they were discovered before they got half way there. The werewolf began to retreat immediately upon being attacked and the party except for Aarovin The Archivist turned back. Under the cover of his Obfuscate Aarovin made his way inside The Tri-Vault and Mattias Quincy opened a portal so the rest of the party could join.
Inside they found a ring at the bottom of the cave that seemed to have a similar composition to the Stygian Gates. Inside the ring was some sort of thick viscous fluid that when Carter Altman touched it almost overwhelmed his mind with emotion and thoughts. The party notes that the fluid inside seems to be the source of the heat and the material actually shows no heat readings at all. Seskatonkwa "Stampedes the Herd"'s new 'friend' claimed that he had friends that were trapped inside and asked the party to help release them.
Unsure how to proceed Mattias began to try and prophecy what would happen if they released the beings inside and he saw terrible things, murder, death and corruption would run rampant. He was able to determine that they could release ones that wouldn't cause harm by releasing them individually. Also, the party might be able to more completely seal it off with some yet undiscovered ritual.

Eggs benedicte with ham - and large americanos.
After that we went to see Sherlock Holmes 2 at the Screening Rooms.
I enjoyed it (love Stephen Fry!) But I'm not quite sure about the Screening Rooms - it feels kind of weird to sit there in the dark while waiters shuffle up and down the aisles muttering, "sorry...sorry...excuse me..."
The people in front of us were having afternoon tea - complete with china cups and tiny milk jugs. Others were having hot food and glasses of wine. We opted for pistachios and cokes - because that felt most natural for the cinema.
Maybe I just need to get used to it...

With December upon us, we look back at 2010 to assess San Francisco's real estate market, not only to see what was, but to predict what will be.
Online brokerage Redfin has released its final quarter data, among it this graph showing the price San Francisco properties commanded per square foot.
The graph, which correlates to single family homes only (no condo data) shows a general downward trend since 2009. We can't be shocked, since the same trend is mirrored throughout the U.S. and a good portion of the rest of the world. However, what many people still find amazing is the how high, even after coming down steadily for over a year, San Francisco median prices still are.
So yes, while down in many respects, no one would call these prices slumped. The interesting question to pose though is where they might go from here. Real estate sites like Trulia have predicted an uptick in SF prices. Readers of On the Block though are divided.
Reader "catch_the_wind" wrote:
One of the key reasons RE prices will continue to rise is because rents are continuing to rise. And while the focus of the great news in SF swirls around the tech sector, don't forget, SF has a substantial financial markets presence, and even oil companies aren't posting higher profits than the financial sector. Now that they've unleashed two more years of hoarding incentives to the financial markets, happy days are here again for those financial wizards that created this mess. That of course could put a crimp in lending thought, which would then put a crimp in the housing market…magic 8 ball says 'ask again later.'
"Swarner" wrote with similar caution:
The highest end areas are always the last to drop. SF only really started dropping this year, so it probably looks pretty solid compared to most other places. One wrinkle is that many SF homes for sale are condos, and they are getting tougher to finance. And Pelosi has single-handedly propped up the SF economy, but if she is out, SF could be headed for bigger trouble. Also, with everywhere else being so affordable, SF is starting to look very overpriced.
In the meantime, here's what the median can buy you. We chose properties somewhere around the asking and the actual paid medians, since the numbers are different, with asking being lower than the purchasing price median– another fact that sets SF apart from many a city right now.
There are 36 properties between $650K and $750K listed as single-family homes for sale on the MLS right now. For $699K is this 3 bedroom in Glen Park with lots of cool, crafty built-ins. Still, no parking and less than 1,225 square feet makes the price tag enough to raise a few eyebrows.
Willing to pay more? A touch over the sold median of $710K is this home in Lakeshore, near Lake Merced and San Francisco State University. Asking $715K, the home offers 3 beds, a garage, and a touch over 1400 square feet to play with. Of course, you have to like playing with fog out there… and college students…
So what do readers think? Will these high medians stay where they are, climb back up, or sink yet further? Perhaps only time will tell.
But all real estate aside, we thank you for reading and for those insightful comments that have made us think. We wish each of you a healthy, happy holiday and all the best in the new year.

Name of the Candidate – Tamanna Gupta
Marks obtained – 141.5/200
Tears streamed down my eyes as I read my score. My parents did their best to console me. "It's okay beta" , "that's a great score", "Congrats! You will definitely get an NLU". But nothing helps. I already know that I won't make it to Bangalore or Hyderabad with these marks. As I close my eyes and try to sleep, millions of images flash in front of my eyes. Of people. Their witticisms particularly.
"Arrey she didn't get in Bangalore. CLAT toh itna easy tha!"
"Konsa teer maar liya , IIT ya Medical kar ke dikhati!"
"Selection toh hona hi tha – humanities le rakhi hai."
I hurriedly rummaged all the CL material and books , telling myself that I will appear for CLAT again. But as I did so, I found myself in a chain of thought. What if I don't get NLSIU in 2017? What if I don't get in any NLU at all? I realised that, at the end of the day, the name and prestige of a college should not interfere with our well-being. Don't listen to what others say. So many people give CLAT. Some get in , some don't. We should be happy with what get.
Excuses like "I made stupid mistakes", "I had the caliber but circumstances were unfavorable" and other numerous regrets can be redeemed by working hard in any college. We should be content with what we have today , and work upon our potential. The obsession with instant gratification of getting a NLU blinds us from our long-term potential. Do not lose confidence in yourself. Wherever you are , try to be the best. Now, enjoy your holidays and stop fretting over the NLUs that you might have a chance of getting. The best will happen. Carpe diem!

|Horrendously bad drawings, but hopefully you get the picture.
You don't tend to wear a headscarf in PE (whether or not you do anywhere else) and plenty of girls at my old school did. it was years before voice recognition was effective in this situation and girls that I'd previously thought of as two different girls turned out to be the same bloody person. It was confusing to see people in PE you never saw anywhere else, particularly as they claimed to be in your form! And looking for somebody specific who wore a headscarf, when they had PE?
Mission Impossible.
And that's not even the worst bit.
That second one has definitely happened. I only realised it after she'd gone by (I'm calling her Quaver from now on) and left my line of sight. And not once, either. Twice.
I have come to the conclusion that maybe I'm a little face blind, and the harder to pronounce way of saying this to the same effect (added maybe with a little confusion), is prosopagnosia. It's easier to rely on headscarf, hair, general body shape, glasses, etcetera, than rely on anything else. Except cake, of course, but still.
So remember, don't change your hairstyle and still expect me to work out who you are in 2 seconds flat. Because you look so different since you've grown your hair out.

This is what it looks like when you are getting ready for a show and you get the urge to take a #SELFIE!
Larry was afraid all the children turned to metal at one of our Healthy Kids Summer Lunch Program Assemblies!
While Nancy is busy telling kids about how to be healthy and behave, LARRY took some time to relax in the pool backstage!
Larry the Crocodile has many talents...playing piano is not one of them, but he sure looks handsome trying!
It seems Larry was a little confused when he put his name tag on...Nice addition of the mustache though!
Larry was thrilled to be hanging out with Nancy and her friends! He MAY have been a little twitter-pated...
Larry and Brendan will both be in the 5th Grade this year! Weʻre always so happy to see him! This was at our recent show at the Abilene Public Library!

Tennessee players Da'Rick Rogers and Darren Myles Jr. are whisked away from the Knox County Detention Center Friday morning after they posted bond following a bar brawl involving several Volunteer players.
The brawl left Knoxville police officer Robert Capouellez, a patron in the club, with a head wound. A spokesman for Tennessee Medical Center said Capouellez, found unconscious lying on the street when authorities arrived, was in stable condition.
Rogers, 18, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Rogers, a freshman receiver, is considered the crown jewel of coach Derek Dooley's first recruiting class.
Darren Myles Jr., a sophomore safety, was charged with assault, resisting arrest and evading arrest. He is accused of assaulting university police officer Brian Greenlee, who was among the first to arrive on the scene to help Capouellez.
The investigation continues, and two other players — receiver Denarius Moore, 21, and defensive tackle Montori Hughes, 19 — were being questioned about the assault on Capouellez. They have not been charged.
After the jump, Bar Knoxville co-owner Sandy Morton describes what happened to WBIR. Thanks to Paul.

Welcome to Lakes Imaging Center
We are a medical imaging center located in Brainerd, MN. We offer the only 1.2 Tesla High-field Open MRI in Central Minnesota. MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a technique that allows pictures to be taken inside of the body to obtain diagnostic information. Using the latest computer technology, MRI produces these images of the body without the use of radiation found in x-ray and CT scanning.
A High-field open MRI is a non-invasive procedure with no known side or after effects. This procedure is painless; in fact, you will not see or feel a thing. You will hear a knocking noise as we use our computers along with magnetic fields and radio waves to generate your images in 3-D planes. These images can provide an accurate diagnosis for your physician, which in most cases can reduce the need for exploratory surgery and other diagnostic procedures that might have an associated risk.
What is an MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one form of imaging modality used by physicians to look inside the human body to obtain clinically useful diagnostic information. Incorporating an advanced technology, MRI produces images of the anatomy without the use of radiation required with other imaging modalities such as x-ray and CT scanning.
MRI combines the physical properties of strong magnetic fields with radio waves to produce computer generated soft tissue images within any plane of the body. This widely used imaging technique can be used as a primary diagnostic tool to provide a quick and accurate diagnosis for your physician. In some situations, this procedure can reduce the need for further diagnostic procedures or invasive procedures such as exploratory surgery that may have associated complications.
Benefits of an Open MRI
There are many benefits to an MRI with new applications constantly being developed through on-going research. High-field open MRI imaging is now equal in accuracy and resolution to the Tunnel MRI. Open MRI is used for all parts of the body and is effective in the clinical evaluation of:
- Brain disorders and diseases
- Traumatic injuries
- Eye diseases
- Spine diseases
- Tumor detection
- Knee and shoulder injuries
- Infection
- Blood flow and vessel abnormalities
- Facial/neck abnormalities
- Musculoskeletal disorders

hi everyone! This is my first tutorial for scrap that! I hope you enjoy it!
I love to make flowers! And although I am not the first one to make his flower (I saw one at Wendy G's blog) but I have changed it to make it more my own.
First you need to gather your supplies
die cut flowers - one larger, 2 medium, 2 small (I have done it with two different flower shapes from my cricut) on untextured cardstock
molding paste
inks, glimmer mist, alcohol inks, liquid pearls, perfect pearls...some kind of colorant
a pearl or center
hot glue gun & glue
next you will apply the molding paste with your finger to make sure you have lots of bumps and texture. Let dry (I left them overnight)
this one I inked
this one I used the smooch that is included in the March kit
I then sprayed the first one with a little bit of light pink glimmer mist
and because I wanted both these flowers on the same page I used some pink liquid pearls on both
now you can use whatever colorants you would like...be creative
when they are dry, fold back the ends of each petal like this
so it will look like this
and like this when all the petals are folded
now make an 'O' with your hand and put the largest flower on top then push through your hand
your flower will look like this
continue with all your flowers
on the smallest one, glue a pearl or a center into it
start layering your flower gluing them together from smallest to largest alternating your petals
and here they are done
the inked one
and the one with smooch

Discussion in 'Obedience Training' started by Sameeee, Aug 20, 2012.
Awwww!!! Cute pics!!!!!
havent got the teadmill yet, son is trying to talk me out of getting it. I think he just don't want to move it lol. he has bet me that I wont get Max to use it. I am holding my ground and as soon as I can get him up here to haul it. I am gona start Max on it. hope it is as easy as the videos say it is lol
You'll be able to do it and Max will love it. Your son will see that he's wrong. GO MAX
GO MAX!!!!!!!!!!! Think of your Mom, she's doing all she can to help you wear off that excess energy! You'll do it Samee, just patience and loads of treats
Your son sounds just like my partner, tries to talk me out of anything where he just may have to help out!
still waiting on son to come help me get the tradmill, tomarrow we are getting fencing, decided to fence in the side of the house. would cost less and will give him more room to play. plus I could have Max at the side and the little ones out back. we are going to get some of the rain and wind from the huricane here in Missouri tomarrow. so might not be able to do much work on it till Sunday. gona check out getting a clicker, got bunchs of treats. getting everything ready to start the training of Max not only on the treadmill but other things too. also will be working with Precious and Rocky. gona get them on the treadmill too. I think I will have my work cut out for me. busy. busy. busy lol.
Oh that's a great idea to give Max his own special playground (and cheaper for you too)
Hope all is well with the huricane, we get the reports here and it looks so awful.
You can easily get clickers on ebay, the insect ones are available in the States - not here though.
So happy all is going well with Max, he won't know himself, treadmills and training to do tricks WOW!!!!!!!!
And Precious and Rocky on the treadmill too, that's grand I am sure they will love it. Just keep it to a few minutes with Rocky as he's still so young
All these preparations will also help make the time pass more quickly until Rocky arrives. Keep busy, best way to make time pass
got the stuff for the fence will be putting it up tonight or tomarrow, son is on his way and hope to get the treadmill too
That's terrific!!!!!! Hope the weather holds for you so you can get up the fence. He better LOL otherwise everyone on DTA will be on his tail
to much rain today to get anything done but son said he will bring up a dolly to move the treadmill sunday. told him he better or I gona sit on him and he don't want my big hinny sitting on him lol
Understand about rain Samee, you just cannot put up fences when it's pouring with rain!
Good one love that and do it if he doesn't get that treadmill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got another pic for ya here is Max and hubby
it would not be the first time I sat on son. so I know he don't want me to do it
Max is one VERY HANDSOME boy He looks like he's ready for FUN
LOL good so your son will definitely get the treadmill!!!!!!!!
Nice pic!!!!
here is the story of how Max came to live with us, I answered a ad on Craigslist about a boxer, for hubbies birthday, the guy told me he wanted $300 for them, well that was to much for me, two days later the guy called and said I could have 1 free he could not keep them where he lived and they did not have their tails cliped, we met up and he pulled out a purty 8 week old boxer. then he pulled out a larger beautiful 8 week old boxer. we knew that was Max. he told us we could take both. we did. the other is Sam. we found him a great home with a friend of my daughter inlaw. here is a pic of Sam and Max the day we brought them home. Max is in the front.
Great story!!!! Awwwww, ADORABLE puppies!!!!!!!!! So Max's tail isn't docked then??? That's AWESOME!!!! I love to see dogs with their proper tails!!!!
yep he still has his whip. lol
Loved the story and the pics! So glad he hasn't been docked. I LOVE dogs to have their tails, it's an important part of their communication faculties too
It's illegal over here and back home (U.K.) to dock tails or ears.
LOL whip just about describes a Boxer's tail they sure have some power in the wagger!
There tails are pretty, but they dock them for a good reason. A lot of boxers are known for injuring their tails because they are so rambunctious. You can look up boxer injured tails and find stories about boxers who had to have their tail docked later in life because of an injury to their tail.
Thank you Southerngirl, I did not know that about Boxers injuring their tails. I do know they are VERY rambunctious. A friend had one and that dog's idea of greeting you was to fly in full pelt from the garden THREW THE WINDOW if the French Doors weren't open, OVER THE BACK of the sofa and land hopefully in your lap, or head or anywhere else
Then smother you with doggy kisses
Yeah that's why Most of the dogs who's breeder dock their tails not for looks(well not only), it's for their saftey. My friend has a boxer who in Insane she an energizer bunny

Project groups
Most, if not all, plants in natural ecosystems are associated with fungal symbionts, e.g. mycorrhizae and endophytes. These fungal symbionts can have profound effects on plant ecology, fitness, and evolution, shaping plant communities, and the community structure and diversity of associated organisms. In the current project we want to assess whether endophytic fungi influence range limits and distribution of their symbiotic host plant. Our hypothesis is that leaf associated fungal communities influence their host plants adaptation to marginal habitats and microclimates, thus shaping historical and contemporary species ranges. The central questions we want to answer include: What are the differences in fungal species richness, diversity and community structure associated with cold adapted and warm adapted populations of balsam poplar? Is there evidence of coevolution between the host plant and its fungal microbiome? What is the influence of host genotype versus geographic locality on fungal community assembly in the phyllosphere? Can we infer ancestral microbiomes and their reaction to past climate change, and can we predict species distributions of host and symbionts under future climate scenarios?

There are two types of people when it comes to box openers: those who open a box for the goods, and those who open boxes for the bubble wrap. Even the former soon after morph into the latter, popping away on the whoopee cushion of the packaging world.
But Sealed Air, the company that's been behind the proverbial packaging powerhouse that is Bubble Wrap since the 60s, is revamping its signature product into something that The Wall Street Journal first reported would no longer pop.
Deflating news for box openers everywhere. But when CNBC reached out to Sealed Air to clarify the move to create iBubble Wrap, featuring new columns of connected air bubbles, hope was restored.

A Good Idea
I might have posted this before so this is a short "Just In Case I didn't" post. Steph filled these little envelopes with things that she loved about her friend Lisa and gave them to her for her birthday in this nice frame. I thought it was a very endearing gift. I thought maybe you would too.
I'm going to try and post all the pictures I didn't post last year. I don't want to lose those memories so please be patient as I post old and new happenings.

What a wonderful gift idea! Did she make all the little envelopes, or can you buy them that small?

Perfect sharing icons in any size on all devices
Scalable vector sharing icons have arrived! For the past months, we have been rolling out beautiful new "SVG" icons across the AddToAny platform.
These aren't your ordinary raster graphics. AddToAny's SVG sharing icons are infinitely scalable, customizable, crisp on high density pixel displays, mobile-ready, super-lightweight, and cross-browser. Make them as large as you want, make them rounder or square, animate them using CSS transitions & animations, and never worry about graphical perfection and efficiency, because that's what AddToAny strives for:
Perfectly beautiful, technically perfect.
Developers know that AddToAny maintains excellent backwards-compatibility, and SVG icons are no exception. In older web browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 & 7, which do not support SVGs, AddToAny gracefully uses raster icons instead of vector icons. All modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, and many more) will display AddToAny's SVG sharing icons.
At AddToAny, extreme efficiency is always top of mind, so we challenged ourselves to offer new vector icons in just one web request. The result is a fully minified and concatenated single download that renders icons only on demand. It's so incredibly efficient that soon AddToAny will default to vector icons (instead of traditional raster icons) on high-PPI displays such as Retina displays.
So far, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, StumbleUpon, WordPress, VK, and dozens more services are among the first SVG sharing icons, with more continuing to roll out. Like traditional sharing icons, AddToAny vector icons will be receiving the same constant updates as logos change.
For WordPress and Drupal publishers, the latest versions of the WordPress sharing plugin and the Drupal sharing module have been updated to support AddToAny's new vector icons. For publishers & developers on other content management systems, you can get the new icons and code from AddToAny's share buttons generator and read the docs on further customizing the icons.
We're excited to bring vector sharing icons to modern web devices, and it's a thrill to contribute to a more perfect, beautiful, modern web.

Win7 backup not allowing choice of HD to image on dual boot system
Dual boot system with Win7 on C:/ and XP on D:/
I want to create an image of D:/ so that I may install a bootable XP system on a new HD, should D:/ fail.
I'm trying to use Win7 Backup to make the image. It will not allow me to chose JUST the XP drive to image. It has both C:/ and D:/ checked and I can't uncheck C:/.
Is there anyway to specify which HD to image with Win7?
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2011
As the the boot files are on C: you will need to backup both drives.
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2011
So that single image would contain both drives. If I needed to restore from that image would I have to restore it to a single drive? I'm not sure how I would restore it and keep the dual boot as I would need 2 partitions.
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2011
If you have two Hd Drives, you need to Restore back to two Hd Drives.
If you have two partitions , you need to Restore back to two partitions.
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2011
Would I save the image to one hd, then restore it to 2 drives?
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2011
You would make a backup image of one & two Hd Drive's, on HD Drive three.
|My System Specs

But if hd 2 fails I would want to restore the xp system to a new hd 2, like it is presently.
I just don't understand how I would make one image of two drives and then restore that image to a separate partition or drive.

This picture was taken about this same time last year. The kids have grown quite a bit since then. One has become a teenager and has grown 3 inches in that year. Funny how time just seems to fly.
This next week all the fall activities begin. We will be off to dance class, piano, violin, 4H, wrestling, and scouts on various days of the week. I am praying I didn't schedule things on the same day and time. It will be a busy year for everyone. I look back and it seems as if our oldest was just starting cub scouts last week. Soon he will be driving and dare I say it ....
dating nope not going to say it, you can't make me.
We started school two weeks ago, and already I can see how they have grown. What magical powers does the summer sun have on them? Suddenly they know so much, it really amazes me.
I hope in this year I can grow even half as much as they will (and not in pant sizes). *reminded that there is ice cream in the freezer....hmmmm* They teach me more than they will ever know about life and living it. They each have dreams. We are just doing our best to help them find that path that will lead them to the land of dreams come true.
I know I can be an example to them about dreams coming true... I have Rodi and I have them, each and every one a dream turned into a reality.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
The following section discusses both the client-side and server-side designs for using EJBs concurrently.
Client-side Design
On the client side, you need two JMS Queues: one to send subtasks and the other to receive acknowledgement for the processed subtasks. Figure 1 shows the class diagram for client-side processing logic.
The TaskManager (see Listing 1) interface has common behavior that must be implemented by any class that provides implementation for subtask management. The JMSTaskManager (see Listing 2) implements the TaskManager and provides JMS implementation for calling the EJB concurrently. For example, you could use the TaskManager to implement Web services for managing and processing subtasks.
You use three methods collectively to perform subtask management for the clients:
As explained previously, the JMSTaskManager class (see Listing 2) provides JMS implementation for the TaskManager. The default constructor initializes totalMessagesSent and totalMessagesReceived variables, which hold messages (subtasks) sent and acknowledgements received, respectively, for the processed subtasks. It also constructs the InitialContext for JNDI lookup and calls setupQueue(), which constructs JMS Queue objects to perform point-to-point communication between JMSTaskManager and the MDB.
The sendSubTasks() method takes a collection of subtasks, adds each subtask into JMS message, and sends it to the JMS Server. The createMessage() method is an abstract of this class that takes QueueSession and a subtask and then returns a message for sendSubTasks() to send. Since createMessage() is an abstract, subclasses can construct all types of JMS messages, such as BytesMessage, MapMessage, ObjectMessage, StreamMessage, TextMessage, etc. The constructed message is used to set the JMS Reply Queue on the server side. Once the MDB processes a subtask, it sends an acknowledgement message back to JMSTaskManager (using the Reply Queue). The name of the Reply Queue is obtained from getReceiveQueueName(), which is an abstract method in this class. Finally, the QueueSender object is used to send the messages to the JMS Server.
The sendMessage() is provided for convenience. If, for any reason, a client wants to send only one subtask, this method can be used for that.
The onMessage() method is automatically executed when the MDB sends an acknowledgement message to the Reply Queue and increments the totalMessageReceived counter by one.
The listenForAcknowledgement() method uses getReceiveQueueName() to create a Queue to receive the acknowledgements from the MDB. The JMSTaskManager implements the MessageListener interface so that it can listen for acknowledgements from MDB. The QueueSession is used to create the QueueReceiver, which is used to set the MessageListener object to get acknowledgements from MDB.
You can create two types of QueueReceivers, one using MessageSelector and one without using it. If the subclass of JMSTaskManager provides a MessageSelector, you use it to construct the QueueReceiver. The JMSTaskManager uses the date as the MessageSelector to filter the acknowledgement messages from the MDB. This feature allows more than one client to use the JMSMessageManager to send subtasks concurrently to MDB (see Figure 17). In this scenario, each client uses its own date as the message Selector so that JMSTaskManager receives acknowledgement messages for its date.
The waitForAcknowledgement() method waits in a loop until the JMSTaskManager receives all the acknowledgement messages from MDB.
Server-side Design
This section discusses what the server-side classes require to process subtasks using JMS Messages. On the server side, you need to design a MDB so that when the client sends a message, the JMS Server notifies the MDB to process that message.
Like all other MDB classes, the SubtaskMessageBean class (see Listing 3) implements MessageDrivenBean and MessageListener interfaces (see Figure 2).
The JMS Server calls the onMessage() method when the JMSTaskManager sends a message with the subtask embedded in it. Typically, this method calls a SessionBean to process the Subtask. For simplicity, in this example it prints the date and the subtask passed by the client. At the end, it calls the sendAcknowledgement() method to send the acknowledgement message to the client.
The sendAcknowledgement() method receives the Reply Queue that the JMSTaskManager sends and uses it to send the text acknowledgement message back to it. It uses the client-passed date to set the message Selector by calling the setStringProperty in the TextMessage. This helps the client accept the acknowledgement messages based on the date it passed to the SubtaskMessageBean.
The QueueConstants interface (see Listing 4) holds various Queue constants that both the client-side and server-side Java classes use.

Voter Fraud; an Assault on Fairness
Byline: Ken Blackwell, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
While we hear a lot about partisan politics in the media, most Americans do not define themselves, first and foremost, by their political party. Many people's beliefs do not fit neatly into the label of Republican or Democrat.
The cultural identity of many Americans supersedes their views about the role of government or the proper way to increase health-care coverage. Part of that identity is the belief in the value of a fair fight and in the fundamental right of the American president to be elected by a transparent and accurate vote.
That's why the widespread and blatant voter registration fraud and outright voter fraud being reported nationwide is not a partisan issue. This illegal activity affects all fair-minded Americans who want a free, fair and honest election.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be up in arms because voter fraud is a direct threat to freedom and bedrock American beliefs. Outlets for voters to express their concern are available on both sides of the political divide - and well they should be.
As news reports demonstrate, the voters' concern over fraud is not unfounded. In Florida, we've got people registering Mickey Mouse to vote. In Nevada, they attempted to register the Dallas Cowboys' starting lineup. Ohio has unfortunately been plagued by persistent and widespread voter registration fraud this year. Stories of teenagers signing dozens of registration forms and criminals brazenly voting multiple times with fake addresses dominate the evening news coverage and fill the morning papers.
The actions of unscrupulous activists have been made easier by rulings on early voting, and an overall indifference to fraud from the state's top elections official. New opportunities now exist for widespread fraud, which could seriously compromise the accuracy of this election. For example, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner recently interpreted Ohio law to allow for people to cast an absentee ballot on the same day that they register to vote. Her edict on that issue is one of many she will have to address as concerns of voter registration and voting fraud continue to grow. Ms. Brunner's recent bombshell announcement that out of the nearly 200,000 of the state's 660,000 new voter registrations are in question, raises the stakes. This means information provided by a person registering does not match that person's corresponding information on file at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the Social Security Administration. …


text: "In the United States you have a weapon to defend yourself, your home, your garden, your wife, your children; even the dog and the cats. This tradition doesn't exist in Switzerland" Swiss law requires men to enlist in the military or do national service by age 25. This means that many more people know how to safely handle guns than in the US. Also, "In Switzerland to be a citizen and to have a weapon were very, very linked with community, or with the nation," Lang said. "It was not linked with your garden or your family." So gun ownership in Switzerland is based on defending the community, not the individual. This is fundamentally different than in the US.

Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) and Rutgers Partner
News Nov 04, 2013
Coincident with formation of this new partnership is the launch of CCDC Inc., which will serve the CCDC's user communities across North America. The new CCDC organization will collaborate with scientists at the RCSB Protein Data Bank and the Center for Integrative Proteomics Research (CIPR) to develop and implement new integrated approaches to scientific discovery, working closely with academic and industrial partners.
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre compiles and distributes the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), the world's only comprehensive resource for small molecule crystal structure data, to more than 1,200 academic and 200 commercial organizations worldwide. Approximately half of the members of the CCDC's user communities are based in North America. The new CCDC Inc. operation at Rutgers will bring expert application science support in the areas of small molecule crystallography, drug discovery and development, and materials science directly to the CCDC's user communities throughout North America. Paul Davie has been appointed to head the new operations, becoming General Manager of CCDC Inc.
The Center for Integrative Proteomics Research is a new 75,000-square-foot facility on Rutgers' Busch Campus dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary structure-function studies of complex biomolecular phenomena. Center members include internationally recognized Rutgers faculty, leading research groups focused on computational chemistry, structural biology, mechanistic enzymology, and bioinformatics. The Center is the home of the RCSB Protein Data Bank. In addition, the CIPR serves as headquarters of the BioMaPS Institute for Quantitative Biology, with its interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics, and houses core facilities for NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy.
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank is a member of the wwPDB, which is responsible for managing the Protein Data Bank archive - the single global repository for experimental structures of biological macromolecules with nearly 100,000 entries. The RCSB Protein Data Bank provides tools and educational materials worldwide for advancing research and education by curating, integrating, and disseminating biological macromolecular structural information in the context of biological function and processes, biochemical pathways, evolution, and disease. The Protein Data Bank archive is used intensively by many thousands of research scientists, teachers, and students around the world in studies of biology, biochemistry, and medicine.
Stephen K. Burley, Director of the CIPR, Associate Director of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, Director of BioMAPS, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and Member of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey expressed his excitement about the new initiative, "My Center colleagues and I are delighted to welcome members of the CCDC to Rutgers. We look forward to a long and productive partnership, which will enhance our interdisciplinary research efforts on biomolecules large and small and deliver new synergies between the RCSB Protein Data Bank and the CCDC."
Stephen K. Burley, Director of Rutgers' CIPR
Colin Groom, Executive Director of the CCDC made clear the importance of this new partnership by adding: "Research scientists in discovery seldom rely on small molecule or target structural information alone – they need reliable data in both areas, of course. This new collaboration with CIPR and the RCSB PDB will allow us to develop and implement new integrated approaches to discovery, based on the latest validated data from reliable sources. We hear continually from our partners about the importance of developing efficient workflows across data domains – this collaboration sees the potential of great steps forward towards this vision."
S. David Kimball, Associate Vice President for Translational Science in the Rutgers Office of the Vice President of Research and Research Professor in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, played a central role bringing the contractual arrangements to fruition in short order. He reflected on the broader impact of the new partnership by pointing out that "cooperative interactions between the CCDC and the Rutgers materials science community represent another important avenue for synergy."

Thibs rode Jimmy like he usually rides Deng. but Deng fully healthy doesn't allow LeBron to get those 2 and 1's he got off of Jimmy.
Deng is a slasher and cutter on O and that's where he thrives, he can shoot but it's not his specialty. Jimmy has the best pure shooting stroke on the Bulls but he rarely got PT because Thibs doesn't like to play rookies and will only trust them after they've done well in practice and then play well in games.
You act like you're the only one who likes the Bulls.
If the Bulls amnestied Boozer, I would have no problem with it. The guy accumulates stats but a lot of it's fluff. And it's offset by the fact that he offsets it with stupid fouls and an intense desire to be worthless on defense (aside from rebounding, which involves accumulating stats).
Like I said, the differences between Deng and Butler aren't so glaring that it's worth getting into a big thing over. But I stand by what I said, I feel Butler has more lateral quickness. He's also better at finishing at the rim than Deng, even though slashing to the basket is part of Deng's game. Butler is younger and has more athleticism. Deng is older and taller and probably has advantages that are in line with someone who is more experienced and taller.

St. Anthony used to dump 18 water towers' worth of storm runoff and other water into the Mississippi River each year. Then it turned around and pumped 24 towers' worth of groundwater to sprinkle the lawns of Central Park and City Hall.
This project, along with 1,600 others have been catalogued for a Minnesota program called GreenStep Cities which aims to provide step-by-step instructions for environmental and cost-effective projects to city and small-town leaders.
The water project in St. Anthony has also improved the quality of life with its three fountains that hide the water reuse tanks and provide a background for local wedding and anniversary photos.

After saving my old template to a word document so that I could quickly grab any HTML/JavaScript that did not transfer to the beta version, I am now up and running. Gee it only took seconds to happen with very little to do afterwards. The buttons plus my counter were the only items that did not move to the beta version.
I am using a different template to my original one and now all colours are consistent across my blogs. I did tone down the colour of the links as they were very strong on the black background. Also I didn't want the links competing with my images.
I have tagged/labeled some of my threads. More will be done with time. I would imagine there is going to be quite a few updated threads showing up in Bloglines from tagging and I apologise for that but will make it so much easier for visitors to browse my blog. Also it gives you a chance to click on a tag in the left column to see what happens.
Now I must concentrate on getting some painting done over the next few days; was rather fun playing around with my blogs though.

QlikView Personal Edition FAQs
What is QlikView Personal Edition?
Simply put, QlikView Personal Edition is the full QlikView Desktop product that is run on a machine without a customer or partner license assigned to it. With the QlikView Personal Edition license, everyone is free to create QlikView documents for personal use. If at any point you or your organization decides to acquire a full QlikView license, this Personal Edition installation will automatically become a full QlikView client without requiring any additional software.
If you have never licensed QlikView before and want to use the tool to perform analysis on any sort of business or personal data set, or have an existing QlikView installation and want to try out our latest release, QlikView Personal Edition is for you; download and start connecting to all of your data sources and building your analysis applications.
How can I get started making my first QlikView?
If you have data available in an Excel file, starting up QlikView will take you through a simple process to get your data loaded and your first QlikView built within 5 minutes. There are several video tutorials available to help you get up an running quickly.
What are the limitations of Personal Edition?
There are only two limitations while using QlikView with the Personal Edition license:
- QlikView Personal Edition works with local files only; you cannot share your QlikView file with another unregistered user, or load a QlikView file from another user.
- You cannot import an entire document layout (sheets/objects/security settings, etc. without the data) into QlikView Personal Edition.
Can I use Personal Edition on a Mac?
Yes, but you need Mac software that will allow you to install and emulate a Windows environment, before you install QlikView within that environment. As an alternative, Mac users can access QlikView apps deployed on a server through Safari and other supported browsers. You can access one of our demo apps to experience the power of QlikView.
What is "Document Recovery" and when should I use it?
Please read carefully: Technically, every document is now saved with a user key -- information that ties that file to the file's creator. In Personal Edition, users can only open files that they have created.
We recognize that it may be necessary to install QlikView on a different computer (i.e. computer upgrade, replacement, etc.). In order to open documents created using the previous installation of QlikView, you will need to "recover" the files. Recovering files simply means that you are assigning an updated user key (old machine -> new machine) to these documents. When you recover a file, you are telling QlikView that you are moving this file to your new installation, and you will no longer be using it on your previous installation.
IMPORTANT: QlikView Personal Edition is limited to four recoveries per installation. When you recover a QlikView file created with a previous installation, it will apply your new user key to ALL documents created using the previous installation, not just that particular file.
DO NOT attempt to open QlikView files that you did not create (from the forums, created by a colleague, etc.) Doing so will use one of your remaining recovery attempts, and once you have exhausted all 4 of the attempts, you will no longer be able to access documents that you have created and, from that point on, you will only be able to create new documents using your current QlikView installation.
Error: "Access Denied. The file was created by a licensed QlikView user..."
As mentioned above, QlikView Personal Edition can only open files created locally by that same installation.
Do Personal Edition users qualify for upgrades?
Yes. We post new releases on the web using our QlikView download page. You can re-download QlikView at any point and install an updated version on your existing machine and continue working with documents that you have already created. NOTE: If you have exhausted your recovery attempts, downloading a new version or re-downloading the same version will not reset the counter.
Do Personal Edition users qualify for telephone/online support? What kind of help is available?
Personal Edition users do not qualify for telephone or email support from QlikTech. As a Personal Edition user, you can gain excellent QlikView support through our active user community, QlikCommunity. We've created the dedicated New to QlikView area of QlikCommunity for Personal Edition users to get to information on how to start using QlikView as well as allow you to interact with other members of the community.

Doodle Jumble
I changed my mind and just uploaded a pile of stuff instead of the one sketch of the girl with the heavy gun that would tip her over. Hopefully makes up for a lack of posts lately. The one of the bird smoking and the one with the gun I got photo reference, the others are random doodles, the two statues were from Dublin Sketchers outings.

Pablo Picasso once famously said that art is a lie that tells a truth. He's right. There is something artificial about a work of art. No matter how realistic the novel or painting might be, we none-the-less recognize the presence of an artist, the artificer, in the work of art. And that's how it should be. If art aspired to no more than realism, silk flowers would represent the apex of human creativity. But someone like the 19th century draughtsman and watercolorist John Ruskin didn't spend years studying leaves because he sought to deceive. He wanted us to see something more in the leaf than nature put there. In his foliage we see the work of the human spirit.
All great art melds nature with spirit, the real with the unreal, or — perhaps better — the not-yet real. If a novel or movie meticulously did nothing more than reproduce daily life, it would be ignored. Who needs either, when we have life itself? But a great work of art reveals the real, all the while infusing it with spirit, the moment of insight, the not-yet real — what Gerard Manley Hopkins called the "inscape."
Mary of Nazareth can be understood as God's great work of art. Like the rest of us, she is a creature, a work of this natural world. She lived as human a life as any other and did so in poverty and obscurity. And yet, to the eyes of the believer, the work of an artist — in this case, her creator, redeemer, and sanctifier — infuses her very being. It breaks forth, in the words of the Jesuit poet, "like shining from shook foil."
Catholic churches, with their crucifixes and their Stations of the Cross, are suffused with images of suffering and death. Sadly, we're all too familiar with these realities, but we have no adequate idea how to represent the resurrection, or how to render its reflection in the assumption of Mary. Nature has taught us death; grace reveals the resurrection. We know how we die; we cannot imagine how she did. Even the word "death" is too prosaic for her passing. We speak of a falling asleep, an assumption.
Masterpieces do more than make us marvel that the artist saw more than we did. They also infuse within us the anguished aspiration, the conviction, that one more, slight push of the human spirit would break through and reveal the very glory of God. But when God is the artist, when we confess nothing less than the presence of uncreated grace in our midst — in this woman, "our sometime sister now our queen" (Hamlet 1.2.8) — then eyes must confess their clouds while tongues take up the praise.
Rev. Terrance W. Klein
