ISR Solutions' purchase is first in five years
CHANTILLY, Va. - Systems integrator ISR Solutions saw both its geographic reach and wallet grow this week, the results of a dually announced acquisition and $11 million equity investment.
For ISR Solutions, the acquisition of The Comm Group marks its first purchase since 1999. The company has spent the past five years focusing on internal growth, opening approximately seven new locations along the East Coast.
"This is not a roll-up or anything,†said Joe Costa, president and chief executive officer of ISR Solutions. "This is really a very strategic acquisition for us.â€Â
The purchase price was not released, but part of the $11 million equity investment ISR Solutions received from The Carlyle Group and Fairfax Partners will be used to pay for the deal. The remaining amount will also be used to fund future growth.
By acquiring The Comm Group, ISR Solutions gains a presence in the western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio markets and expertise in telecommunications, structured cabling and life safety systems.
The Comm Group, on the other hand, saw its reach grow exponentially as a result of the deal.
"This is going to give us a national presence,†said Mike Bieda, vice president of engineering for The Comm Group and one of four shareholders.

Stan Papi was a Pitcher?
I have been searching to complete my 1981 Fleer Tigers set with Stan Papi, needless to say I wasn't looking very hard. This week I was browsing around the eBay dollar deals, and Stan Papi surfaces for a great price, free ship and buy it now!
On second glance I think the picture was more humorous than the error of ol' Papi as a Pitcher.
So keep it hot on the corner, and keep your shirt on when selling on eBay.

The Samsung 'Galaxy Folder 2' is reviving a technological design that most thought had died off over a decade ago. The new phone, currently slated for release in South Korea, China, and potentially the United States, is a modern take on the flip phone design that graced virtually every device in the early stages of mobile tech.
As its name suggests, the Galaxy Folder 2 isn't Samsung's first attempt at (re)inventing a flip phone. The 'Galaxy Folder' was released in July of 2015, however it was only released in South Korea, which is why many Europeans and North Americans may not be familiar with it. Samsung has certified the Galaxy Folder 2 with the FCC, though, meaning that the phone will very likely see a North American market this time around.

Rudd warned to resist pressure to cut back Australian migration
Australian demographer Peter McDonald has warned Prime Minister Kevin Rudd that succumbing to pressure to reduce the levels of immigration would counteract his measures to boost the economy in the long-term.
According to The Australian, the Professor claims knee-jerk reactions to the rising unemployment levels would not benefit the economy in the long-term, as it would eventually come to rely upon younger skilled workers emigrating to Australia to support an ageing population.
"Labour shortages emerge, and attempts are made to plug them through training or immigration. This approach often leads to short cycles of under- and over-supply, as has been evident in the IT industry in recent years," Professor McDonald said in his report.
"In the short to medium term (the next 20 years), immigration is the only means available to meet large aggregate labour demand in Australia."
Professor McDonald, who is director of the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, said that typically immigration tends to reflect the economic cycle, such that when the economy is in recession numbers are drastically cut to fight against rising unemployment. However, when the economy begins to turn again – as it inevitably does – the numbers of skilled workers are not there to support growth.
"Migrants do provide their own economic stimulus," Professor McDonald said. "They come into the country with money, they spend it to buy houses and set themselves up."
His projections, however, are not blinkered from the negative effects of migration, and he feels immigration levels need to be coordinated with infrastructural plans, including housing, transport, water and appropriate energy supply.
The Australian migration quota is at record heights this year, with the number of skilled positions reaching 133,000. Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Senator Chris Evans has said he would keep the 133,00 skilled visas as a ceiling until his department has fully assessed the needs of the Australian economy in time for the mid-year Budget release.
The Australian Visa Bureau is an independent consulting company specialising in helping people with emigrating to Australia.

Should I post any improvements here as I see them?
1) Graphics level. Since ZOS aim for Europe and NA players first, I don't think that they need to make a game for computers with low performance. Sure I don't know what prices exactly on PC parts in other world but here in Russia I bought my computer, which capable to run Crysis 3 on almost max settings for 625$. It costs me almost 2 month salary (Yes, you can count me as homeless but there is Russia - richest country in the world ).
Back to graphics. Animation didn't count as most demanding option for graphic card. The most demanding is high resolution textures, anti-aliasing and other additional features. So why not to add animation from Skyrim? It looks quite good for me. Weapon unsheathe, swings, movings, magic casting and other examples are pretty good and immersion (hate this world).
Horse. Much better to make horse be spell. When character summon horse he make same hand movings as for teleporting. As for me, of course, horse should be always with you, act in combat (but way bit smarter then in Skyrim), and when you want to take any item from horse bag, must be some nice interaction animation.
And characters models. Armor that deformating with character? Bad, bad designers.
2) Sounds. Just improve it, find more actors, i don't know, make sounds from real life. Watch this for example.
3) Overall. Combat from first person view will never find it place in MMO. You need to see whole situation around you, watch you back for enemy attack, watch both sides and you teammates around you. Even 3rd person view made bad, like in Dead Space. You didn't see anything that happen to left from you. Don't try to make your game different adding some doubtful things.

Today's thought from Hazelden is:
Change in all things is sweet.
— Aristotle
I don't know why I'm still going through such emotional ups and downs at this point. I'm not in withdrawal, my body chemistry is no longer in chaos, and I know how to take better care of myself. I'm open to many new things, and I'm growing and changing faster than I ever expected. Why should I feel bad?
Each time I reach a new awareness, I have to go through a grieving process for the old me. Suddenly it feels as if I'm someone else, somewhere else. I'm not the person I was yesterday. Even if that person was less conscious and closer to active addiction, still, that person was the me I knew. Sometimes I miss that old familiar self. We'd spent a lot of time together.
Recovery awakens us to new possibilities. We have to change, experiment, take risks – even though we may think we detest change! Being alive and having joy sustains us. We may not have all the answers, but we want to ask the questions. Taking time for daily meditations helps us to find the peace and calm at our center. As recovery continues, the sense that everything is moving too quickly will slow down.
Today, though things may not be different, I am different.

2011 — Art is a Verb: Alfred P. Maurice
September 19 – December 9
The 2011-2012 Hamersly Library exhibits theme is Identity. The exhibits featured this year will explore the components that affect the choices that compose our identity. Our individual experiences, the communities we live in, and our culture all play a significant role in our establishing our identity.
The fall exhibit, Art is a Verb, will explore the uniqueness in individual identity by examining the life of Alfred P. Maurice.
Alfred P. Maurice
Born 1921 in Nashua, New Hampshire, Alfred P. Maurice started his art career at the age of 17 painting murals through the National Youth Administration. He studied at the University of New Hampshire for two years before continuing his art career as an illustrator and draftsman during WWII.
In 1946 after serving in the U.S. Army, Mr. Maurice continued his undergraduate and graduate studies at Michigan State University under the GI bill. During this time he free-lanced as a graphic designer for the Michigan Farm Bureau and other commercial clients.
For the next 30 plus years, Mr. Maurice taught art and served as an academic administrator. During these years he created drawings, paintings, and prints, featured in local, national and international exhibitions. He also was the director at the Kalamazoo Art Center where he developed a community art program and administrated the building of the art center.
After his retirement from the academic world, Mr. Maurice relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 1989. He continued to teach in the community and Clark College as well as produce paintings, prints, photography and drawings. There he continued to use art as the creative tool to solve problems, open opportunities and join communities together.
Even now, Mr. Maurice keeps his hand in the arts by encouraging students to think outside the box through two scholarships at Western Oregon University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. These scholarships are awarded on creativity and encourage combining disciplines to solve personal issues of any kind; stretching their learning out of the classroom.
Kalamazoo Art Center (1959-1965)
This exhibit was not completed alone, but by the hard work of many. Special thanks go to:
WOU Student Curators for their vigil in details:
Bethany Glasscock, Alexandria Westlund, Elizabeth Salisbury
Erin Passehl, WOU Archives Librarian for editing text and designing the WWII envelope case
The Cannon Gallery of Art for providing the postcard publicity and support of the opening reception
And, of course, Mr. Alfred P. Maurice for providing subject matter and an excellent example of the Personal Identity
LOCATION: 2nd & 3rd floor galleries
Curators: Jerrie Lee Parpart, Bethany Glasscock, Alexandria Westlund, and Elizabeth Salisbury

The lake is very pretty and peaceful and you really feel far from the city even though its only an hour and 15 minute drive from Jersey City where we live and maybe an hour and forty five minutes from Manhattan.
As I've said many times before on this blog vintage style can definitely be casual and I wore one of my favorite casual summer outfits for our trip to the lake. I've definitely worn parts of this outfit on the blog before, but its so cute I think it deserved its own post.
The red gingham top is from Swell Dame and is a perfect 1950s style casual top. The jeans are clam diggers from Freddie's of Pinewood and would probably be longer on a person of normal height, on me their pedal pushers. My shoes are the remix canvas pennies and are super comfortable. The belt I borrowed from one of my Bernie Dexter dresses. I feel very 50s casual in this outfit!
The purse is really something special, its a 1950s novelty purse with a horse on it! I love anything with an animal on it and this is my first vintage horse accessory.
Incidentally is 38 too old for pig tails? Obviously I don't think so. This whole outfit makes me feel very young and carefree.
We had a good time walking around the lake:

Consider yourself in the Loop
In an economy that's producing almost solely depressing business stories these days, here's a bright tale: Manitou Springs' The Loop (965 Manitou Ave.) is just killin' it, turning tacos and bustin' out burritos at a record pace. And for the second time in the past seven years, it's expanding.
According to Matthew Gray, owner of 18 years, the 1,500 square feet he's gained from commandeering what was previously Whispering Winds Metaphysical Shop now contains a new 10-person bar, 50 additional seats, a new set of bathrooms and expanded kitchen space.
"There are huge wait periods here all the time," says Gray, who adds that sales have been up 15 to 20 percent in the past couple months, mainly from loyal tourist traffic.
With the expansion, the Loop now takes reservations for parties of up to 50. Call 685-9344 for more.
Count your (un)lucky Stars
You may have heard recently about Starbucks' decision to close some 600 underperforming stores across the country. That list is out and does cite nine Colorado locations, but none are in Colorado Springs. Instead, three locations will close in Denver, two in Loveland and one each in Lakewood, Longmont, Conifer and Broomfield.
Corner out of the street
In Appetite last week, we mentioned that the Corner Caf (7 E. Vermijo Ave.) had been setting up a bangin'-good Saturday lunch cart outside Apex Sports at 327 S. Weber St. Unfortunately, after our review ran, the city noticed that purveyor Bob Smoot didn't have the proper licensing in place for such a stand.
So the Saturday cart is on hold until Smoot obtains a peddler's license from the City Clerk's Office and meets El Paso County Health Department requirements to operate a mobile cart. Smoot's also looking into a temporary event license that would facilitate setup at such places as farmers markets.
In speaking with the Health Department (whose eight people currently struggle to oversee 2,500 local retail food establishments), I was told its only concern is in preventing food-borne illness by making sure mobile vendors have proper sanitation in place.
Call the Corner Caf at 520-1843 for updates or more information.

Forty days after Easter, as described in Acts 1: 2-12, the Risen Christ was "taken up" into the heavens and "a cloud received him out of sight"...
Between the common ground of our daily life and the vaulted heights of our ideals, the longings of our heart swell like summer clouds....
Ascension marks the near end of the Easter season; one which has been particularly renewing for me.
For the first time this year, I brought large rose blooms into the house. Gazing at the unfolded and velvety flowers which were once tightly closed buds reminds me of the new promise and serenity I feel through Christ's unconditional love, which is with us now and forever. Like Christ in his new state, we can't touch it or "see it", but it's everywhere...

QDC understand that London drains can be problematic thanks to old properties with old pipes causing inconvenience, disruptions and sometimes loss of earnings due to having to close businesses etc. With emergency call outs and structural repairs this can become expensive. Want a prevention? Then why not let QDC devise a preventative maintenance contract for your property whether it is residential or commercial. A maintenance contract is financially advantageous as keeping busy drains free flowing at full hydraulic capacity can prevent build up and therefore blockages plus the engineers can detect a problem that could be rectified simply and cost friendly before major structural defects occur and therefore higher amounts to find.
There are a variety of misconceptions about preventative maintenance but without a maintenance contract you risk the higher cost of loss of business as well as the inconvenience and disruptions.

The autopsy proved that the geckos had died from a sudden pressure rise aboard the satellite a day or two before its re-entry capsule landed on Monday, Sergei Savelyev, a researcher at the Institute of Human Morphology, who is in charge of the experiment, told ITAR-TASS.
"It appears there was an abrupt pressure surge. This is borne out by pathological changes in the internal organs - the heart, the lungs, the liver and others. The changes occurred very fast: the lungs were contracted, with stagnant blood found in their vessels. Moreover, the blood from all internal organs and systems rushed to the heart, filling large vessels and the atrial cavity," he said.
The expert said pathological changes in the internal organs were identical in all geckos.
Another fact corroborating the pressure surge theory is that all reptiles died practically at the same time.
However, experts at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems said that the geckos had died from indigestion caused by low temperature and the resulting metabolic slowdown.
But Savelyev dismissed this theory as unfeasible. "The autopsy showed that they were not eating at all. No traces of food were found [in their bowels]. They felt cold and did not eat," he said.
He also said that starvation and low temperature could not have killed all the reptiles at the same time.
"I can think of no other explanation but a pressure surge," he said.
However, Vladimir Sychev, Deputy Director of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems, told ITAR-TASS that there was no change of pressure.
"I have the autopsy data too but there are no grounds to interpret them as a pressure surge. In fact, it simply could not have occurred. There were [fruit]] flies there and had this been true, they would have died too. But they didn't," he said. Sychev said the geckos' death remained an answered question and experts would continue their investigation.
The Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) said it would set up a special commission to investigate the incident.
"Hypothermia is not the main possible cause but only one of the options. Others include a possible malfunction of the onboard equipment and life-support system," the source in the space industry told ITAR-TASS.
Roscosmos said that the fruit flies "got through the flight quite well, grew and bred" but "all geckos died, unfortunately".
The Photon-M4 satellite was launched on July 19, 2014 from the Baikonur space centre in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft carried specimens for research of the biological effects of zero gravity and cosmic radiation.
The specimens include geckos, silkworm eggs, dried seeds, fruit flies, and mushrooms. The geckos were part of biology experiments conducted by Russia's Institute of Medico-Biological Problems on the effects of weightlessness on mating.
Several hours after the blastoff, the control communication with Photon-M was disrupted, although the spacecraft continued to transmit telemetric information. As a result of the malfunction, the satellite stayed on the support orbit, instead of being placed into the target orbit by its own engine on command from the Earth. The Institute of Medico-Biological Problems said after the control loss incident that it did not affect in any way the onboard life support system and the programme of automatic experiments.
It took seven days to restore communication with the spacecraft, space experts said.
The spacecraft's flight time was limited to 60 days.
Photon satellites are designed and made by the Progress Rocket and Space Centre for research and experiments in such fields as the physics of weightlessness, space biology and biotechnology, including the affect of outer space on living specimens.
The first satellites of the series was launched in 1985 and operated for 13 days.
In 2005, the Photon-M2 satellite carried out about 20 scientific Russian and European research programmes. The next satellite, Photon-M3, in 2007 performed 45 Russian and foreign experiments.

I went with an inventory car because the savings were AMAZING (and I still get Tax discounts), and should take delivery next week (and it had all of the options I wanted (although I would have skipped the suspension). I am making the assumption that I will want the inside and outside professionally detailed, because with amazing savings I can safely assume many people had this as a loaner. Any recommendations for someone with an inventory car around Maryland (I've seen a few threads about detailing), but I assume this one might need a bit more love. Thanks for the assist!

Maa Aayana Chanti Pilladu completes DTS mixing
The director comments: "Every woman wants her husband to be like Lord Rama. If the husband respects her wishes, she treats him like her child. If he falls in the trap of another woman, she will never excuse him. We are trying to explain how a woman brought her husband back to heel, when the latter was straying. Can a man who behaves like Rama turn into a Krishna? What could be those circumstances? Does the woman mistake her husband's actions? Watch the film to find the answers."
Audiences are responding favourably to MM Srilekha's music for the film. The producer is making efforts to release the film in the second week of July.
A successful Tamil film Yen Purushan Kulandai Madiri, starring Pandiarajan and Devayani, is the inspiration for this movie.

- Roast Leg of Lamb
- Grilled Asparagus
- Grilled Pineapple
The lamb was the result of a trip to the freezer where I reached in and grabbed the first thing that looked like meat I hadn't cooked lately. It started out as a boneless leg of lamb roast, pre-wrapped with string and all ready for an oven. Naturally, the first thing I did was cut all the string off, trim off the fat, and divide it into two relatively even pieces. This allowed me to get more spices on, and also get a nice amount of bark at the end of the cook. It took less time than anticipated, so the result was a little more done than I care for, but the wife was very happy as there was no sign of redness other than the smoke ring.
The grilled asparagus and pineapple was an interesting experiment in using the new WSM in a different fashion. After the lamb was done roasting I removed the middle section of the smoker and put the top grill down on top of the smoke ring, right over the coals. This not only provided for a nice bark finish on the lamb, but also provided an opportunity to grill the side dishes (both of which cook pretty quick) right over the coals while the lamb was resting. This was real nice since I didn't have to cook anything in the house, nor did I need to fire up one of the grills or play around with transferring hot coals.

4 medium sweet onions, sliced
1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 cup red wine
1 quart beef broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 T worcestershire sauce
1/8 to 1/4 cup marsala wine
Sliced mozzarella and/or swiss cheese, gruyere, provolone
Garlic Parmesan Toast Points (optional)
Combine onions in olive oil in a large saucepan and saute until browned over medium heat. Add garlic and cook a few minutes until garlic is done, but not burned. Season with basil and half the thyme, add red wine and reduce. Add broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and season with salt (as needed), pepper, the remaining thyme, worcestershire sauce, and marsala wine. Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Pour soup into individual oven proof bowls or ramekins, top with a thin slice of cheese, and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese melts at 350-400 degrees.
Or, if serving with Garlic Parmesan Toast Points, after pouring soup in the bowl, add toast point, cover with sliced cheese and bake.
Comments: I really love French onion soup and this is a fairly quick recipe that tastes very good. I will serve with the Garlic Parmesan Toast Points either in the soup or on the side. This recipe makes about four servings and has pretty quick prep time.

Mike and Tricia Observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month with 12th Annual Pink Ribbon Week
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and that means it's almost time for MIKE and TRICIA'S 12th Annual Pink Ribbon Week!
Look for 93.1 KISS-FM and the El Paso chapter of Koman for the Cure at a different location every morning the week of October 1 - 5. We'll be handing out pink ribbons in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month -- and in honor of those who have fought or are now fighting the battle against breast cancer -- along with breast education and screening information.
While a lot of us are aware of the terrifying and sometimes devastating disease, many forget to take the steps to detect it in its early stages. That's what Mike and Tricia's Annual Pink Ribbon Week is all about -- getting the word out, and encouraging as many of our listeners as possible about early detection.
Watch this space and listen to Mike and Tricia Mornings for locations and more details.

Albert Carey Project ~ Tens Cents Short Of A Dime
Style: hard rock, country rock, blues rock
Label: Deja Blue
Year: 1999
Home: New York
Members: Albert Carey ~ vocals
Al Pitrelli, Johnny Gale, Tommy Byrnes ~ guitars
Frank Carillo ~ guitar/mandolin
Tony Perrino ~ organ
Andy Ezrin ~ keyboards
Danny Miranda ~ bass
John O'Reilly ~ drums
Tony Harnell, Danny Vaughn, Jody Gray ~ b. vocals
There's always a place for bluesy country tinged rock a la the Allman Brothers or Kansas. That also seems to be a trend today with many former rockers rediscovering themselves via the heartland/breadbasket constituency of music. Bon Jovi, Jewel & Bret Michaels of Poison, for example, have all donned cowboy hats to the chagrin of older fans. While the blues have always been the backbone of rock & a good jumping off place to rediscover when a musician needs a boost of inspiration. But, there's a few musicians out there who play bluesy rock naturally & one can feel the difference in authenticity. They're not doing this to rekindle their career, but because they love the groove & sound. Vocalist & former bassist AC on his one solo outing is one of these musicians. One might not know the name, but AC toured behind guitarist Mick Ronson in his 70's solo band after Ronson left David Bowie & the legendary Spiders From Mars. AC, never in the spotlight like his former bandmate/boss, has left his youthful rock side behind to return to rootsier music & created this album that seamlessly fuses folk, blues, country & rock with an all-star cast. Joining him in the studio are members whose resumes include Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, TNT, Rainbow, Kenny Vance of Jay & The Americans, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, King Kobra, Meat Loaf, amongst countless others. Plus, many of the participants here have played together countless times over the years both in bands & sessions from their earliest days in the club to the present day. The musical experiences of the participants is wide, but they all share the same roots in the blues & that love creates a powerhouse blues-rock country-tinged album that weaves from electronic blues to acoustic country. All the songs are originals except Traffic's "Empty Pages" where AC sounds like an early 80's Eric Clapton vocally. Actually, had Clapton not taken a more commercial direction in the last decade since his From The Cradle album this is the type of blues album he'd probably be making. It's exciting, edgy & white boy blues at its best that both takes from the past yet allows the participants to incorporate their own nuanced playing with a large dose of rock. The only problem with this album is whose on what track as the liner notes don't give that identification. This album was a one off collection of musicians, but AC can be found performing its songs with his band the Sophisticato's, while he also has the blues outing Blues Manchu with drummer Dennis Cotton of the Duke Robillard band & lead guitarist David Malachowskiis from Shania Twain. In his own bands AC plays guitar in addition to singing.

Have you ever wondered why Golden Dawn and other esoteric Orders do not issue a book that gives every possible astrology chart and how to read them?
After all, many of our lessons provide suggestions for how to interpret a Tarot card when it falls into a certain postions in a reading and suggestions about how to read the effects of planets when they are in the astrological signs. And there must be an initiated view of how to read a horoscope, right? So why not just issue a book of all the charts that we might encounter and give us the official reading of them?
First, we want you to think. Sorry. Work and thought is a neccessary part of the system.
Second, do you realize how big of a book this would be? Seriously, have you ever pondered how many possible horoscopes there are?
Today, we are used to computerized printouts provided by astrology readers and websites. These generic readings are based on a system pioneered by Alan and Bessie Leo in the 1890s.
Alan Leo (born William Fredrick Alan) was one of the founders of The Astrologer's Magazine. One of the selling points of the magazine was that every subscriber got a free horoscope. Alan and his wife Bessie (born Ada Elizabeth Murray Phillips) needed to figure out a fast way to put a horoscope together. What they did was to write up a sheet for each aspect of a chart (rising sign, moon sign, etc.) which they assembled into a packet and mailed to the client. They made no effort to combine the effects of the aspects; such work was done by Alan, but it was more costly and involved a private consultation.
The system pioneered by the Leos was so effective that other astrologers rushed to copy their system for their own mail order businesses. In fact, it is the same system used by most modern astrologers, though a computer program does the actual compiling nowadays.
It is the figuring out how the aspects combine together that is the heart and butter of the professional astrologer's life. And their livelihood is perfectly safe because no one is going to sit down and come up with a blended horoscope, complete with interpretations for every possible situation and question that might arise, for every possible chart that might exist. When you pay for a private astrology reading, you are paying for a human being to "grok" the astrology chart and make the mental leaps necessary to blend all the aspects into a whole that actually applies to the situation at hand.
So how many horoscopes are there?
If one is only considering the seven traditional planets and the ascendent (rising degree of the chart), and is only concerned with the degree which they occupy, there are...
360 times 360 times 360 times 57 times 93 times 360 times 360 times 360
11539123163136000000 possible horoscopes.
You may have noticed that the math is not completely clean (57 and 93). The reason for this is that Mercury can never be more than 28 degrees away from the Sun, and Venus can never be more than 46 degrees from the Sun. For instance, you will never see an astrology chart where the Sun is in Virgo and Mercury is in Pisces---such a chart cannot exist.
(Some students may protest that such a chart can exist when one works with geomancy. It should be noted that geomancy charts are "randomly" or "spiritually" produced and the position of the figures bear no relation to the actual positions of the planets in the sky. In this article, I am merely talking about astrology; the number of possible geomany charts is figured the same way, but with a different set of numbers. For instance, only the house position matters in geomancy; in astrology each degree has its own symbolism.)
If you include the planets Uranus and Neptune, and the planetoid Pluto, the number of possible horoscopes increases to
538369330299273216000000000 possible horoscopes.
(It should be noted that because of the orbit times of these bodies that some of the possible horoscopes are unlikely to be encountered in one's lifetime---Uranus 84 years, Neptune 165 years, and Pluto 248 years.)
And if you want you can toss in the asteriods, comets and eclipses---but you will have to figure out the math yourself.
Even at a page per possible horoscope, that is a pretty thick book. I not going to haul it around---are you?
(I am not sure how much computer memory a pdf of such a book would take up---if you have an idea of how to figure that out, please leave a note in the comment section.)

Rachael Laws is back – and hopes to be back for good.
Sunderland's vice-captain was restored to the side for Saturday night's 3-1 Continental Tyres Cup defeat to Manchester City at Hetton.
I am pleased to be back in the side and playing again after 16 weeksRACHAEL LAWS
It was her first appearance since keeping a clean sheet in the 3-0 win over Birmingham City in May.
Laws suffered a knee injury at the start of the mid-season break and was not fit for the WSL1 resumption and had to watch as the Lady Black Cats signed Hilde Olsen.
The Norwegian deputised so impressively it looked a case of if Laws would regain her place, rather than when.
But the 24-year-old was given a chance by boss Carlton Fairweather against City and did not fluff her lines, making two excellent second-half saves to deny Nikita Parris.
It leaves Fairweather with a difficult selection choice for this Sunday's WSL1 trip to Birmingham City.
"I hope so," Laws told the Echo. "Hilde has come in and done fantastic.
"But that just pushes me that little bit harder every day in training.
"Hopefully I can prove myself and get back between the sticks."
The Hebburn girl, who wore the captain's armband when deputising for the ill Steph Bannon, was satisfied with her form.
"More so in the second half," said Laws, who was beaten twice in the space of five minutes in the first half by Parris and Steph Houghton.
"Personally, I think I should have done better with the first goal, may be got a bigger parry on it.
"But I am pleased to be back in the side and playing again after 16 weeks.
"I think it was only meant to take six to eight weeks but it's taken me nearly 17.
"I have bided my time and worked hard and got back on the pitch and hopefully I can stay there now."

The melodic Dutch techno producer will release his debut album on his own Wolfskuil Records later in the year.
Having put out club-ready 12-inches for labels like Ovum, Curle and Wolfskuil, the Dutch producer is now ready to show the world a different side to his production talents on Balans. Rather than just being a collection of similar sounding club tracks, Esser has been experimenting with various tempos, influences and styles in order to try and create something fresh. You might not expect it from listening to his previous releases, but Balans is an album that stretches all the way from twee melodic electronica ("The Goodbye Song") to the stab-happy synergy of Amen breaks and 4/4 rhythms on "Pechvogel." Elsewhere, Esser dabbles in house of the minimal, tech and electro varieties, rounding things off with a sprinkling of ambient tracks.
The full-length will also be shortly followed by a bunch of remix 12-inches, with Claro Intelecto, King Roc, Chymera, André Lodemann, Benny Rodrigues, Gennaro Le Fosse and Nicolas Masseyeff.

02. Broken

A Central Queensland coronial inquest into the death of a Gladstone woman may recommend treating fatal headlocks much like coward punches or one-punch strikes.
James Andrew Beale was charged with manslaughter after placing his wife Tracy Ann Beale into a headlock five years ago, leading to her death, the ABC reports.
While the manslaughter charge eventually dropped due to a lack of evidence proving Ms Beale's death "was not accidental", Coroner David O'Connell is now investigating the incident.
Mr O'Connell is reportedly reviewing if the use of neck compression should incur legal consequences, alongside the need for community education and awareness on the issue.
Ms Beale's family has also called for the whole case to be re-examined.
Kylie Hillard, a barrister representing the Women's Legal Service, said the Queensland government should make a call on the matter.
"One of the things that arose during this inquest was that it [the neck compression] could have potentially been very momentary — it could have only been seconds," she said.
"Whether that would be enough to be compression of the neck, or that would be enough to be strangulation, or what would fit within the current understanding of what those sections are, I guess it is really a matter for the Government to be able to have the opportunity to look at the evidence, and look at whether or not they want to change it."
Although neck compression was the official cause of Ms Beale's death, Mr O'Connell is reviewing other factors including reflex cardiac arrest and asphyxia.
It's hoped the case can instigate more advocacy around preventing domestic violence.
The Coroner will reportedly hand down findings within coming weeks.

In case you missed reading the first part, you could read it here! The 100% vegetarian restaurant had interiors dominated by barks of the tree, stems and plants which made our dinning experience even more blissful. Even the outside of the restaurant was given a rock carving which gave a unique look.
We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.
A travel enthusiast like me would jump with joy even on mention of a weekend getaway! So recently when I was asked for a weekend escapade to a luxury resort at Jaipur, I could not resist!
Heiwa Heaven, a name which stands for peace and paradise, and that's what I was promised for one of the weekend getaways! So without much ado, I packed my stuff on a Friday night and retired for the night to start the exciting ride on a fresh Saturday morning. This time I also had the perfect companion with me! My Coolpad Mega 2.5D which wasn't only reliable on a long travel for its long battery life but even had a great camera for selfies and other photos. Remember, Team ChicLifeByte introduced the device to its subscribers some time back. In case you missed reading the post, you can read it here!
I am sure you know that Team ChicLifeByte was in Mcleodganj staying in the beautiful suite of the luxury property Pride Surya Mountain Resort. In case you missed on the first part, you can read it here.
As I woke up the next morning, I saw a beautiful view of Mcleodganj from the room's window. This is not what we can see from any of the Delhi homes or hotels…neither such a big window…nor such a breathtaking view! Both hot water and breakfast was for a limited no. of hours so without wasting much time…we took a quick shower and headed for the first meal of the day.
I am sure you are aware of Team ChicLifeByte's travelogue to Palampur-Dharamshala and Mcleodganj! And if you would like to know our adventures in Mcleodganj, you are at the right place. Oh! Did you miss details of our Palampur-Dharamshala trip? You could catch it here and here.
After the sightseeing on the way from Dharamshala, we entered the beautiful luxury property Pride Surya Mountain Resort. Even in the rainy weather, we could spot the hotel easily. Afterall, Surya a 23 yrs old property has been the only option of a luxury stay. They tied up with Pride about 20 months back. Pride boasts of quality and goodwill while Surya is about retaining the customer through its specialised services. Surya takes special care of its customers through knowing about their likes and dislikes…also the perfect hospitality and friendly atmosphere to the families who come to visit the city. Though families dominate the most visited section here, it's the Israel groups as well who look forward to the hospitality of Pride Surya.
I am sure you are aware of Team ChicLifeByte's travelogue to Palampur-Dharamshala and McLeodganj! In case you missed our first post of Palampur where we stayed at the beautiful Glade Homestay, you can read it here. Continuing from where we left you on the last blogpost, we were on an amazing road trip from Palampur to Dharamshala and before we tell you about the awesome place where we stayed, I would like to tell you about the scenic on our way. Our first halt at Dharamshala was Dhauladhar Nature Park (zoo) which is known for the wildlife that lives here. Honestly, we were able to see much more than what we could see at Jim Corbett last year 😉 Yes, we could spot a lot of animals and birds including leopard, emu, black bear and barking deer. The whole tour took about 45 minutes to an hour and then we left to see other spots. While in transit, we saw a momos stall and made out driver stop to know how momos taste in Himachal! Momos here were served with the chilli sauce as well as tomato ketchup! The amazing momos were enjoyed with Banta and then tea! Post which it was time for another religious spot – Chamunda Devi temple. To my pleasant surprise, I saw goats in a temple which is built alongside a beautiful lake with Lord Shiva's statue.
Mumbai is all about sea, sand, beaches, drives, food, Bollywood and has been on the travel hitlist for the maximum times…though, for work but work hours are limited to the day time and we have the evening is free to explore the land (most of the times) . From eating at Bademiya to shopping at Colaba to taking a trip to Chowpatty to meeting our bollywood friends…the land of dreams has given the brightest memories to me. From brand launches to fashion weeks, I have loved each minute I have stayed there… Juhu Beach, Marine Drive, Ferry Ride, Gateway of India…the list is endless.
Summers are about leaving home and exploring the world…and that's when I started thinking of ideal summer destinations. Since I didn't want something too hectic I thought of exploring Singapore, a small yet beautiful island country, well-known for cleanliness and safety. Afterall, Singapore is a perfect blend of culture, cuisines, arts and architecture.

Mushroom City is the second track of the Star Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
This is one of the most confusing tracks in the game due to its many intersections. The course is dangerous because cars drive around, and if racers hit one, they slip. Also, racers shouldn't hit the Wiggler bus, because it will flip the karts. There are Bob-omb Cars that drive around, and whenever one is hit by an item or a racer, the Bob-omb Car will blow up, and the racer will go flying, leaving the thrower dragging in the back. Players will lose any item that they had before they collided with the Bob-omb Car. There are red and blue cars and Mushroom Cars. If a Mushroom Car is hit though, the racer will be stopped cold, but will not take damage. The Mushroom Car will throw out a Mushroom, and if hit, the racer will get a decent amount of boost. The music in this course is the same as in Mushroom Bridge.
- After the first branching path off the right of the main road near the beginning of the track, stay close to the right wall. A purple-shaded alleyway is there that twists in an S-curve. A double item box is present at the end of the alleyway.
- Rainbow Road is above this track in single player mode. However, it is absent in multiplayer mode.
- As of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this is the only Star Cup track from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! that hasn't reappeared in any later games.

I met Marilyn Clement, the national coordinator for Healthcare-NOW, in Atlanta several years ago as I hitched a ride to a stop the war march and rally in Atlanta.
As I got into the car, Marilyn introduced herself as working in the healthcare field.
We chatted generally as we drove into Atlanta and then got dropped off near Ebenezer Church to find our places in the march. As we slowly walked to the church through the Martin Luther King Memorial and Museum area, two young fellows emerging from the museum walked past and then turned and came back to us.
One said to Marilyn, "You look an awful lot like the woman in the pictures with Dr. King we saw in the museum. Is that you?"
Marilyn smiled and said, "Thanks for recognizing me. You guys have pretty sharp eyes to recognize me 40 years after those pictures were taken!"
Marilyn Clement met the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the late 1960s, while on the staff of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
She later became director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and helped create the National Anti-Klan Network, now the Center for Democratic Renewal.
She helped build political power in the South through the Ministers Leadership Training Program, which opened the door for blacks to become elected officials.
The latter years of her life Marilyn devoted getting healthcare for all Americans.
Marilyn died today and we miss her already!

Aug. 24 — Delaware courts and corporate defendants may now find it easier to have frivolous lawsuits dismissed at an early stage, according to a recent academic paper.
Lawrence A. Hamermesh, a law professor from Widener University, and Michael L. Wachter, a law professor from the University of Pennsylvania, suggest in a working paper that "active judicial supervision" during the early stages of litigation provides a better solution to addressing the "ubiquitous litigation" that arises from corporate transactions than fee-shifting bylaw and charter provisions.
The paper notes that no system is perfect and that Delaware's "pleading triage system" will not entirely eliminate the "merger tax" problem in which mergers and acquisitions are routinely challenged through shareholder litigation. However, the authors propose that with the increased use of Delaware forum selection provisions, "the motion to dismiss and the motion to expedite discovery are likely to become even more important in promoting the efficient conduct of shareholder class and derivative litigation involving public companies."
"Mostly, the paper was designed to show how the system works and can work, and why it works the way it does," Hamermesh told Bloomberg BNA. The system can deal with the very big problem that litigation is expensive once it gets to comprehensive discovery, he said, adding that there are mechanisms that try to separate good cases from bad ones at an early stage.
The system the paper describes works a bit more effectively if a corporation has an exclusive forum provision, Hamermesh continued. "Defendants will be a little braver" about challenging cases they think are frivolous and courts are going to be "better equipped" to do the policing the paper describes.
"I don't think settlements will go away and I don't think a lot of defendants want them to," he said. But I think the system we describe—the triage system—works a lot better "when you don't have jurisdictional competition" because it just undermines the dynamics of the litigation process.
Earlier this summer, Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D) signed legislation that, among other actions, restricts the ability of stock corporations to adopt "loser pays" bylaws or charter provisions and endorses Delaware exclusive forum selection clauses.
The push to restrict fee-shifting bylaws was provoked by concerns that such provisions would effectively preclude shareholders from bringing derivative litigation. However, the legislation faced strong opposition. Critics argued that the legislation eliminated an important mechanism that corporations can use to combat abusive ligation, particularly in the M&A context.

Well doesn't time fly when you're having fun? It's been over two weeks since we had our gingerbread making session on 19th December and granted, a lot has happened, but I can scarcely believe it's the New Year and I'm only just posting the recipe up! So apologies to anyone who has been waiting (with baited breath I'm sure haha) for this. We used the gingerbread recipe from an excellent book that both Kate and I possess, namely Peyton & Byrne – British Baking.
- 350g plain flour
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 150g light soft brown sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
Preheat oven to 180C/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Sift the flour, ginger and bicarb into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture feels like sand, then stir in the sugar.
Whisk the beaten egg with the golden syrup and add to the bowl. Mix well to form a firm dough.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm and cut out your shapes.
We had a bit of a cutter bonanza and did all sorts – men, ladies, bells, stars, hearts and even butterflies!
Place your shapes onto the prepared tray. Bake for about 10 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking tray for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now for the fun bit – decorating! We had a lot of kids at the session that day ranging in age from 2 to 13 years so we started with the youngest first and went from there. We made a simple icing (360g icing sugar, 4 tbsp water). The mums kicked back with some mulled cider (ahh now that seems so far away in the cold, sober January light) and the kids did their thing with silver balls, purple glitter sugar and goodness knows what else. We had made little holes in the biscuits with a view to hanging them on our Christmas trees but I know mine never made it to our tree. Did anyone's? Please let us know if you did put your biscuits on your tree.
Thanks so much to Jackie, Anita, Jo, Sarah, Hannah and Claire for baking with us! We haven't set a date yet for our next bread making session but will keep you posted.
Here's wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2012 from The Bread Club.

Juday Ann Santos has given birth!
According to the feed received by PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Juan Luis Santos Agoncillo was welcomed to the world today, October 7, at 5:51 p.m., at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. He weighed 6.9 lbs. His mom gave birth through normal delivery.
Baby Lucho will finally see his nursery room, which had been prepared by his parents weeks before. In a recent interview with 24 Oras, dad Ryan Agoncillo related:
"Kumpleto na, may crib na. Meron na siyang nursing chair. And then yung mga gamit ni Lucho (his nickname), nakaayos na—yung kanyang mga disposable diapers, then yung mga damit from infant to at least about 8th month."
Juday's mother Mommy Carol Santos, in her interview with Karen Davila in ABS-CBN's primetime news program TV Patrol, said the Young Superstar was received by the hospital at around 11 a.m. today and started her labor at around that time.
Mommy Carol said Juday was able to breast-feed Baby Lucho at the recovery room after giving birth.
"So far, hindi pa kami nag-a-allow ng visitors. Kasi nga kailangan muna sigurong manamnam nila yung baby nila," Mommy Carol said when asked if Juday is ready to receive visitors.
UPDATE: In a separate phone interview this Friday morning, October 8, in GMA-7's morning show Unang Hirit, Juday's mom announced Baby Lucho is to be christened after a month and Juday will probably return to showbiz after a year since Juday and Ryan have decided not to hire a nanny to take care of Baby Lucho.
"Gusto ni Juday siya ang mag-alaga," Mommy Carol said.
Baby Lucho weighs 6.9 lbs. and has Juday's lips and Ryan's facial shape, Mommy Carol added.
