I can't say that I ever really heard Cafe Tacvba before, but after seeing them last week, I've become an instant convert. Their music is infectious and sounds like pure fun. Audience members sang along to every word with the biggest smiles on their faces.
Singer Rubén Albarrán seemed like he was having the time of his life and just letting his spirit fly free on the stage. Like a Latin Jim Morrison. The man never stops moving, singing, playing guitar, jumping in the air. His energy infects you and next thing you know you're dancing and having the time of your life. I saw them twice last week and I can't wait to see them again.

BGS' association with boarding dates back to its opening in 1869. Homestay arrangements were offered by teachers, with the rare surviving example of a row of attached cottages on Petrie Terrace, housing some of the first boarders. Second Master Donald Cameron rented one of these four cottages and was paid a fee by the School for accommodating up to 11 boarders here in homestay arrangements.
Third Master Frances Keogh also took in boarders at his premises on Wickham Terrace from 1871.
The Petrie Terrace cottages were built by Queen Street chemist, grocer and developer William John Costin in 1863, and originally known as 'Costin's Cottages'. Costin's son, William, attended Brisbane Grammar School from 1875 to 1879.
Homestay accommodation for boarders proved to be unsatisfactory in the longer term and this practice changed after the School relocated from Roma Street to its new premises on Gregory Terrace in 1881. Headmaster Reginald Roe identified a purpose-built boarding house as a top priority. Known as School House, it opened in 1887 and grew to 90 boarders during WWII. Stretched beyond capacity to 110 boys during the mid-1950s, an extra 20 places were created when the Headmaster and his family moved into the new and separate headmaster's residence in 1962.
In 1969 a dining room opened on the ground floor of the Centenary Building underneath the library, and old boarding house kitchens were converted to bathrooms. Boys moved into the newly built Harlin House in 1972, and the original boarding house was renovated to provide student common rooms, a housemaster's flat, matron's quarters, and an enlarged sickbay. Numbers peaked at 175 in 1989. In 1992 the original boarding house was renovated and renamed the Roe Building. At the same time, Harlin House was renovated and modernised.
BGS boarding continues to develop its facilities to improve the experience for students. The dining room and kitchen were relocated again in 2013, to the ground floor of the S.W. Griffith building. and a senior common room was completed earlier this year. The senior common room offers a flexible and spacious area for shared learning and private tutoring.

To elucidate a potential mechanism for tightly controlling human corneal endothelium growth, we investigated the function of Yes-associated protein (YAP), a transcriptional effector of Hippo signaling pathway that is important in regulating mammalian organ size. We hypothesize that through interacting with cell scaffold proteins, YAP may play an important role in corneal endothelium maintenance and corneal endothelial cell proliferative capacity.
Human donor corneas were provided by the San Diego Eye Bank. Explant culture was performed on unused donor cornea surgical specimens. Both uncultured and 5-day explant cultured samples were fixed and subjected to flat mount immunohistochemistry analysis. Dissociated primary human corneal endothelial cells were cultured in a defined medium. The expression patterns of YAP, alpha-catenin, and other molecules associated with endothelial mesenchymal transition were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining.
Immunofluorescence staining of YAP in human corneal endothelium specimens showed a pattern of strong cellular membrane association in central cornea, with a shift towards increased cytoplasmic and nuclear localization in peripheral regions. Peripheral corneal endothelial cells also showed increased expression of YAP and Ki67, a proliferative marker. Interestingly, alpha-catenin, a major adherent junction protein that can inhibit YAP by recruitment to the membrane, showed a correlated expression pattern. Increased endothelial mesenchymal transition as well as cell proliferation and mobility of corneal endothelial cells were accompanied by elevated YAP expression and nuclear localization in corneal explant culture.
These findings suggest that YAP activity and its interactions with cell scaffold proteins control homeostasis of corneal endothelium. Manipulation of the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway could be a potential therapeutic approach to treat corneal endothelial diseases.

|Photo for illustrative purpose
A 40 year old man, Chima Ordu was said to have been remanded in Lagos prison after taking photographs of a policewoman taking bribes from Motorists. A presiding magistrate of the Isolo Customary Court ordered that he should be remanded
Total Media reports that the policewoman was flagging down motorists and collecting bribes from them at the Oludegun Junction in Isolo when Ordu decided to take her photos with his phone but he was arrested by the woman's colleagues in the act.
It was gathered that the policewoman and her colleagues usually mounted the illegal road block and collected bribes from motorists at the junction on a daily basis.
Ordu however, found himself in trouble when he allegedly hid behind a fence and took photographs and video recording of the female officer not knowing that her colleagues who were in plain clothes had seen him and stealthily sneaked in and arrested him.
He was thereafter charged to the court on a one-count charge obstruction by snapping photos of a police officer performing her lawful duty under the Criminal Code.
Ordu pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him and Magistrate Adeyemi granted him bail in the sum of N20,000 with one surety in like sum while ordering that he should remain in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail.

Hello loves! I'm sorry its been forever and a day, but I've finally been able to put aside some time to write. Life has been fabulously busy!
I spoke to a local elementary school last week about PH and was blown away at how well they comprehended it! I provided a good deal of visuals because lets face it, Pulmonary Hypertension and all the tricky little details are a bit too much for elementary kids. Explaining this crazy disease to them had me a little worried because as I talked about how I couldn't breathe at their age, I could see the their little faces start to worry. So then not only are you explaining the disease but explaining that they don't need to freak out. Except I was that one kid that DID have PH. Bottom line, I got my point across, they had a great time learning about this disease and I was amazed at how well they were able to grasp it. I'm speaking to my 5th graders in a week or so and overall I'm just very excited at the idea of getting use to these kind of presentations!
Stay tuned later this week for more posts on my physical activity as well as some side effects I'm dealing with when it comes to heart caths that you may need a solution to too! Thank y'all so much for the support, it means everything in the world that you are sharing and reading! Keep it up and keep reading for details on shirts!! 🙂

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Oil prices closed down Wednesday amid continued uncertainty over OPEC's output plans and mixed data on U.S. gasoline supplies, but losses were capped by an unexpected drop in crude inventories.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, August crude fell 52 cents to settle at $31.42 a barrel. August unleaded gasoline declined 0.5 cent to 97.64 cents per gallon. August heating oil fell 0.45 cent to 80.10 cents per gallon.
Conflicting Wednesday news reports citing an OPEC oil official say Saudi Arabia still plans to either produce an extra 500,000 barrels per day, the amount it had intended back on July 3, or 250,000 barrels per day in August.
However, "OPEC President Ali Rodriguez made public statements clearly shelving an increase in OPEC oil production for at least another 20 days, on Tuesday," said a weekly report from Allan Brady, an economist at the Dismal Scientist.
Before Rodriguez's statement, Monday's OPEC basket price "fell below the $28 price trigger which the cartel claims to be using to determine output increases," Brady said.
Back in March, OPEC agreed to boost oil production by 500,000 barrels per day if the cartel's basket price exceeded $28 a barrel for 20 consecutive days.
Supply data shows drop in crude stocks
This week's reports on petroleum supplies revealed an unexpected decline in crude inventories, providing some support to the oil market.
After the market closed Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute said crude supplies fell 764,000 barrels to total 291.9 million barrels last week.
Analysts expected the report to show that crude supplies rose between 500,000 barrels and 1 million barrels last week, according to a survey conducted by Bridge News.
Early Wednesday, the Energy Department reported a 500,000-barrel drop in stocks to total 294.4 million.
Gasoline inventories fell by 1.4 million barrels, the API said, compared to market expectations for a drop between 1.5 million and 2 million barrels, as of the week ended July 14.
However, the Energy Department said supplies rose by 500,000 barrels. See full story.
Natural gas slips after supply update
Natural gas prices sank after the American Gas Association said last week's supplies rose -- reaching a level closer to the high-end of some market expectations.
Late Wednesday, the AGA said U.S. natural gas inventories, as of the week ended July 14, rose 70 billion cubic feet. Analysts had expected the report to show a rise between 60 billion and 75 billion cubic feet, according to a Bridge survey.
August natural gas fell 16 cents to $3.884 per million British thermal unit.
Total supplies are down 436 billion cubic feet, or 19.5 percent from the year-ago level.
Precious metals prices, shares lower
Precious metals prices, as well as gold and silver company shares, inched lower Wednesday as the U.S. dollar showed strength against most foreign currencies, making the metals more expensive to overseas traders.
Also contributing to the decline in gold was the consumer price index data released Tuesday which may raise "the prospect that the Fed may have to take further action on interest rates should the U.S. economy remain strong," a report from GNI Research said.
On the Commodities Exchange division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, August gold fell $3.50 to settle at $279.60 an ounce and September silver lost 4 cents to $5.028 an ounce. See major currencies.
In the equities market, the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index ($XAU) fell 3.1 percent and the CBOE Gold Index ($GOX) slipped 2.3 percent. See full story.
Comex gold warehouse stocks, as of late Tuesday, were flat at 2,012,584 ounces. Silver stocks were also flat at 102,730,548 ounces.
Other metals action
In other metals highlights, July copper closed flat at 84.70 a pound. The London Metals Exchange said copper supplies, as of early Wednesday, were down 3,100 metric tons at 515,350 metric tons. Comex stocks were up 195 short tons at 73,950 short tons.
September palladium declined $3.75 to $713.75 an ounce while October platinum fell $1.20 to $568.70 an ounce.
Coffee futures drop after frost misses crops
Coffee futures fell 6 percent after frost in Brazil early Wednesday missed key growing regions.
Prices had risen 18 percent a day earlier on concerns that the frost would cause damage to crops from the world's top producer. A chance of frost in the region still exists for later this week.
September coffee fell 7.3 cents to 111.75 cents a pound on the Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange.
The CRB/Bridge Index, a broad-based measure of commodity futures markets fell 0.8 percent to 223.52.
August pork bellies fell 3 cents to 80.90 cents a pound. August lean hogs declined 1.35 cents to 64.90 cents a pound. August live cattle rose 0.1 cent to 67.75 cents a pound. August feeder cattle lost 0.225 cent to 87.775 cents a pound.
August sugar fell 0.08 cent to 9.96 cents a pound. September cocoa closed up $7 to $856 per metric ton. September frozen orange juice rose 0.5 cent to 79.20 cents a pound. December cotton fell 0.46 cent to 62.45 cents a pound. December corn rose 1 cent to 193 1/2 cents per bushel. November soybeans added 5 cents to 456 1/4 cents per bushel. December wheat added 3 cents to 262 cents per bushel.

Saleen History
Race driver Steve Saleen was the one who built the company. Just a year after the company was born, the first Saleen Mustang came out, with special aerodynamics, improved suspension and handling and an impressive cockpit. And to show off the performance of his cars, Steve Saleen entered the 24 Hours of Mosport in 1986 and won, a feat which will be repeated in 1988, when Saleen Mustangs cross the finish line first, second and third. That year, the Saleen Sporttruck is let loose on the streets.
At the beginning of the 90s, having had so much success on and off the track, Saleen launches its own parts supplier company, called Saleen Performance Parts. They sell everything from wheels, exhaust systems to brakes and suspension.
Officially, they are known as "Original Equipment Manufacturer" which basically means they modify some other producer's cars with the added bonus of having a few models of their own. Does the S7 ring a bell? The preferred car for modifying chose by Saleen is the Ford Mustang, of which they've done about 8000 so far.
The S7 supercar was launched in 2000 and right now acts as the company's flagship, but it's certainly the only car built by Saleen. They also produce the S281, the Sr and the N2O Focus (discontinued production in 2005). All that experience in tinkering with cars to make them suited for the race track earned Saleen a partnership with Ford in producing their much awaited Ford GT in 2003 at their plant in Troy, Michigan.
Future projects for Saleen include the Silver-Anniversary Editions, the Saleen Shakercharger, the Saleen S5S Raptor and the S331 Extreme.

For the first time in North America, gardeners can enjoy a quince that has a pineapple like flavor and is sweet enough to eat fresh. The medium size, round yellow aromatic fruit is from southern Russia. It is among the best of thousands of varieties from the Black Sea region of Russia and Turkey. It ripens in October and needs to be stored on the window until it starts to soften. It is excellent for cooking. Like other quinces, the texture uncooked is dense but it's nice when thinly sliced. The trees are much more disease resistant than other quinces.

Although so much has been talked about terrorism in Europe, much of it has focused on countries like the US and ignored Western Europe. However, it should be understood that Western Europe countries also face some threats from terrorists and they should not be ignored. This paper gives a summary of the history of terrorism in two Western Europe countries: Greece and Germany and how they have been able to tackle the problem (Law, 2007).
The first wave of terrorism to affect Greece occurred in mid 1980s and originated from Middle East. Although there was a decline in other areas of western Europe, the rates remained high in Greece and these brought about accusations that the Greek government had created an ample environment for terrorism. In 1990s there were two active domestic terrorist organizations. There was the 17 November organization established in 1975 with a membership of below 50 people and named after an uprising of students in November 1973 against military regime leading to its fall in the following year. this group overthrew the government and led to removal of the US military base. It had links to the Middle Eastern Terrorists and Red Brigades terrorists in Italy with its major activity being the assassination and bombing of business executives, politicians, newspaper publishers and any citizens of the US living in Greece(Law, 2007).
The second group was known as Revolutionary People's Struggle which was a small left wing anti-imperialist, ant capitalist revolutionary group. It operated through offering half hour warnings and bombing of buildings to avoid losing of lives. There had been a connection established between these two major groups although there was no precise relationship known yet. There are other 16 small terrorist Groups established in Thessaloniki and Athens. There were two grisly terrorist incidents that transpired in Athens in 1994 which involved assassinations. The 17 November claimed to have been responsible for killing of a former director to the National Bank of Greece in January and the killing of a secretary to the Turkish Embassy in July. United States personnel were major targets of terrorist activities. Turkish authorities blamed Greece of a aiding terrorist group by the name Kurdish Worker's Party which worked to destabilize tourist trade and Turkish society (Books, 2010).
To stop terrorism, EASA runs an antiterrorist service that works in close relationship with its American counterparts together with other agencies in other states in the EU, in Israel, Russia, Armenia and Turkey.
Germany lived in fear during the period between 1968 and 1977. There were three major terrorist groups that operated in the country: the Red Army Faction, Revolutionary Cells and Movement 2 June. These three groups all gathered hundreds of Germans to join them. These groups went round killing so many people. In 1968 one Germany journalist Ulrike Meinhof joined came together with Andreas baader, a former juvenile delinquent and his girlfriend by the name Gudrun Ensslin to launch one of the most terrifying era in the history of Germany after the war (Law, 2007).
There were students protests held in 1968 which gradually became riots. These groups were made up of young terrorists who were aimed at starting a world revolution part took up to terrorism. What began as mere robbings in the banks turned to murders and kidnaps. In 1972, the leaders of the most famous group Red Army Faction were captured but their followers stiffened their kidnapping and killing activities in the following five years in an attempt to get their leaders freed from prison. However, this did not happen leaving them even angrier since the Germany government did not show any intensions of releasing them.
Instead the German government made use of the terrorism crisis to come up with new laws that gave it more power to fight terrorism. Although there were protests from radical leftists, most Germans were in support of the decisions the government took. In late 1977, there was an attempt to release the terrorist leaders through an airplane hi-jack but it failed leading to all the leaders committing suicide in Stammheim prison. While most people had thought that the era of terrorism in Germany had come to an end, they were shocked to see many more killings come. It was until 1998 when it was proved that the Red Army Faction had been officially disbanded.

Bar Camp Chennai - Day 2 - 10.15 - 10.55
Sorry for the Day 1 goof up. I was running around organising it and din't time to sit and blog about it. The Day 2 is started with Pratul, explaining about the next generation of Windows Office, codenamed something which i dont' remember. Office 2007 is demoed with a developer built by Pratul. It's a presentation with its own set of pro & anti-microsoft people of the bar camp crowd. Overall, Pratul did manage a good job in explaining some of the cool features of the upcoming Office. The presentation started with a video of Microsoft Office 2007. Guys, ask Microsoft interactive agency to look at Apple's videos, much before attempting to build one.

1. Many of the most painful things are not injurious at all. Like whacking your crazy bone will light you up, it really doesn't incapacitate you for very long.
2. Some of the most injurious things hurt very little, if at all, at the time of injury. I broke my arm pretty severely playing ball and it was not painful. Until they set it. And through the next week. Oh, Lordy!
3. Continuous exposure to pain makes it less noticeable. As the season goes on, things that would really bother you at another time really don't matter to much.
4. Those obsessed and blessed, those who have future aspirations and possibilities in the sport, have a different assessment of injury than the rest of us. I actually heard a sportscaster ask a pro what he considered to be a serious injury and his reply was, "If it takes out a support member." In other words, if it just hurts like hell, if it doesn't slow you don't or rob you of your strength, it is not serious. One of our local pros had the bottom joint of one of his fingers amputated rather than being hindered by it and missing the playoffs!
5. Coaches are much more likely to think it is merely pain than most players are.

It was one year ago that Tim Russert of NBC news died. One of his favorite sayings was "What A Country" and what a year this country has had. I still feel sad after a year because of the impact he had on me. His demeanor, sense of humor and integrity was something I much admired and I miss. There's a lot of press on how the mainstream media has a 'love affair' with President Obama - if Tim were still here, and I so wish he were - he would be the one journalist who would treat our President the same as he treated everyone else, with respect. Tim's wife and son have shown remarkable composure in this past year and I admire them for that.
Julia Langello
This past Thursday, the 11th, was my birthday. As I do every morning, I was looking through the obituaries at projo.com and I saw a name that I knew I would be seeing before long. Many years ago, I met Julia Langello while I was working for ADT. My job was to place a 'I've fallen and I can't get up' type unit at her home. She was 91 years old at that time and was one of the nicest, sweetest women I had ever met. She lived with her daughter who worked full time and was concerned about her mother.
When I got to their house, Julia was waiting by the door for me. I knew the moment I saw her that there was something special about her, (really, look at her picture and tell me she isn't one of the cutest grandmother type women you've ever seen) and I was so very right (for once!)
Even though she was elderly, and had lost her right eye at some time, she was a spirited woman whose mind was as sharp as a tack. She wanted the unit placed in her bedroom because she spent much of her time in there. As we sat on her bed, we chatted a bit while I set the unit up.
She told me about her family, her late husband who had died quite some time ago, and her life as it was at that time. I explained the unit to her as I plugged it in and tested it. Unlike many other seniors, she understood how it worked right away and that left some time for us to visit before I had to leave.
She called me a couple of months later and I went back to her house and swapped out the unit because it was acting up. So, we had time for another visit while I was there. A few weeks later she called me as she was trying to reach her grandaughter Melissa, who worked for ADT in Florida. I tracked Melissa down and asked her to call her grandmother. And so it went. Julia and I spoke on the phone several times over the last few years and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Whether I was helping her or just chatting with her, she was just the sweetest woman. So, I was sad to see her obituary on Thursday. Last night I deleted her number from my cell phone. She was 96 years old. I'm sure her family will miss her dreadfully. I know I do.
Ann Grady
My first real boyfriend was Eddie Grady. I met him through my best friend Beverly Sardelli's then boyfriend, Bob something. This was 1972. Eddie had long wavy hair and boy did we like to make out. No matter where we were, we were always trying to get somewhere so we could kiss. One of our favorite places was under a big shrub on the grounds of the Aldrich mansion. We loved it there because no one ever knew we were there.

We loved it there because no one ever knew we were there.
I don't recall why we stopped seeing each other, but we remained friends. We saw each other in school and for years after, he would come to our house each Christmas day for a visit. He wanted to be a fireman back then and today he is Deputy Chief of the Cranston Fire Dept..
In today's projo.com obituaries was the notice of his mother's passing. I had met her a few times and, of course, as a 15-16 year old, I was scared of her. She was a single mother as Eddie's father had died when he was younger and with two daughters as well as Eddie, she had her hands full.
I have a really clear memory of going to his house one day and we were up in his room. The walls were covered with posters and he had the black-light on, the windows were covered with aluminum foil (no idea why, but it seemed to make sense back then.) We were kissing, as usual, and his mother threw open the bedroom door making us both jump and his front tooth hit my front tooth which chipped. To this day, I often think of him when I run my tongue over my tooth chip.
Shortly after 9/11/01 I won at auction, a bid on two firefighter rememberance artwork in frames. I gave one to the EG fire department and the other I delivered to Eddie's (he's called Ed now) office in Cranston. He wasn't in, but I left it for him. I'm so very sorry for their loss.

I have been reading Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood since last night. Waiting the entire day in a clinic waiting room has allowed me to devour one-third of the novel (slow, I know). I'm still in the waiting room with my parents, by the way. I just finished chapter five of the book and paused to write what I intend to be a brief-reflection-so-far of the book. Let's see how this post turns out hehe 😅 Anyway, the book is dark and heavy and deals with issues such as death, solitude, anxiety, existential issues, and sex from the perspective of an 18 year-old man as a recalled by his 38 year-old present self. The first few chapters is unrestrained in presenting the protagonist's history– what he is at present, who he was in the past, the event that changed him, and what has become of him as a result. I was really about to drop the book if not for a new character in the story which drastically changed the mood of the book.
So that's about it for the first five chapters of the novel. I look forward to how the story unfolds.
Update: check-up is done. We're finally going home. I need time to think and absorb everything that happened today.

NAHL Weekend Preview
December 6, 2013
All 24 NAHL teams are in action this weekend as action continues across the country. Every division has at least two series this weekend and three more series are out of the division.
Watch all games online at FASTHockey
Central Division
Brookings Blizzard vs. Bismarck Bobcats (home and home) – Surprisingly, this is just the fourth and fifth meeting of the season between Brookings and Bismarck. Bismarck is 3-0-1 in their last four games, while the Blizzard have lost their last three in the row. Bismarck sits just a point ahead of Aberdeen in 2nd place in the Central, while the Blizzard may get a lift from veteran NAHL goalie Connor Girard who joined the team this week.
Minot Minotauros vs. Aberdeen Wings (home and home) – The resurgent Minotauros, who have won six in a row and seven out of their last eight, come into their home and home serie with Aberdeen, having beaten the Wings last weekend in Minot by scores of 4-3 and 4-0. Minot's leading scorers against Aberdeen are both defensemen, Kyle Kruenegel and Michael Bigelbach. The Wings leading scorer this season against the Minotauros is forward Jonathan Grebosky, who has six points in four games against Minot.
Midwest Division
Minnesota Magicians vs. Coulee Region (home and home) – This battle looms large for both clubs, who are separated by just a point for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Midwest Division. The Magicians currently occupy 4th with 27 points, while the Chill have 26. The Magicians are coming off of their first ever weekend sweep of the year and also their first shutout. The Chill have lost three in the row. These two teams have met twice before this weekend, with each team winning a game.
Kenai River Brown Bears @ Fairbanks Ice Dogs – Fairbanks has every thing going for them heading into this series. They have won eight straight games and are a perfect 6-0 against the Brown Bears this season, which includes a sweep in Kenai River last weekend as Fairbanks outscored their rivals from the South, 12-8. The Brown Bears are riding a tough streak, having lost their last four games and 10 of their last 11 games.
North Division
Soo Eagles @ Janesville Jets – With both teams on the outside looking in of the North Division playoff picture, points are at a premium this weekend as the Eagles visit the Jets. Janesville is riding a three-game winning streak and goaltender Logan Halladay was named the North Division Star of the Week last week. Jordan Himley has two of the last three game-winning goals. The Eagles have lost their last three in a row and nine of their last 10 games. Eagles forward Bruno Birzitis has seven points in his last five games.
Port Huron Fighting Falcons @ Michigan Warriors (Friday) – The Warriors snapped a three-game losing skid on Wednesday in a 4-3 shootout win in the Soo. The Fighting Falcons, who are in 1st place, enjoy a five-point lead in the North Division. Port Huron is coming off a weekend home split with the Springfield Jr. Blues. After winning five of their first six games in November, Port Huron has lost three of their last four. Forward Matt Seidel has seven points in his last five games.
South Division
Wichita Falls Wildcats @ Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees – With the teams tied for 2nd place in the South Division standings at 33 points apiece, this is a big weekend series for both clubs. This weekend marks the 7th and 8th meetings of the year between the two clubs. Rio Grande Valley holds a 3-2-1 edge over the Wildcats this season, which includes a sweep of the Wildcats the last time the two teams played in Wichita Falls back on November 1st and 2nd. Wichita Falls forward Will Vosejpka and Killer Bees forward Ben Greiner have had the hot hand of late, each recording six points in their last four games.
Corpus Christi IceRays @ Odessa Jackalopes – The Jackalopes have owned the IceRays so far this season, posting a 5-1 record thus far against their rivals from the East. Including this weekend, the two teams will have faced one another eight times in the last six weeks. The Jackalopes success against Corpus Christi has been in large part thanks to their goaltending as they have allowed just 11 goals in the six games. The IceRays have won three of their last four games and forward Jake Durflinger has four goals in his last five games.
Amarillo Bulls @ Lone Star Brahmas – The Bulls enjoy the best record in the league and the largest division lead of any team (8 points). Meanwhile, the Brahmas are in last place in the South and the NAHL. The Bulls won the only two previous meetings between the two clubs back on November 5th and 6th at Lone Star by scores of 4-2 and 7-0. Amarillo has lost two of their last four games, but they do possess the #1 offense in the NAHL, scoring just under four goals a game. Lone Star is averaging two goals per game.
Odessa Jackalopes @ Amarillo Bulls (Sunday) – Sunday will be the third meeting of the year between the two clubs. Amarillo swept Odessa back on September 27th and 28th by scores of 4-2 and 4-0.
Out of Division
Austin Bruins vs. Minnesota Wilderness (home and home) – In a battle of respective 1st place clubs, the Bruins and the Wilderness will face one another in a home and home series. The two teams have met just once previously back on November 6th with the Wilderness posted a 3-0 shutout against the Bruins. Austin is riding a two-game skid, the first time all season they have list two straight. Minnesota's Kasimir Kaskisuo has seven shutouts already this season to lead all NAHL goaltenders. The Wilderness have won 12 of their last 15 games.
Topeka RoadRunners @ Springfield Jr. Blues – Over the past couple of seasons, the Jr. Blues have been a challenge for the RoadRunners and this season has proven no different. Topeka has one win in just four tries this season against the Jr. Blues. Topeka netmider PJ Bridges has been on first in his last four games, posting a 3-0 record with a .82 goals against and 96% save percentage. Springfield hasn't lost in regulation in their last six games and are led by Patrick Curry, who has six points in his last five games.
Johnstown Tomahawks @ Wenatchee Wild – In one of those scheduling ironies the Johnstown Tomahawks will face the Wenatchee Wild for the third series in the last four weeks and the second straight in Wenatchee. Last weekend was a fairly successful one for Johnstown in Wenatchee as they took three of four points from the Wild. Wenatchee won in overtime on Saturday, 3-2 and Johnstown won 3-2 on Sunday. Alex Okicki has started the last four Tomahawks games and posted a 3-0-1 record. Parker Tuomie and Trey Bradley have been on first for the Wild, each scoring nine points in their last five games.

I've been working on the post for the second day of the Sierra backpack, but unfortunately DS decided to share a cold with me. Then, I received news that a close family member had tragically passed away. So working on the trail report ground to a sudden halt as my life became surreal as I tried to absorb the shock.
This has been a bad year for losing people for me, so I feel doubly blessed to still be here myself, still raising my family. While I was on the road traveling home from the funeral---a long slur of time, miles, and decades---I was treated to the beautiful sight of Mt. Shasta in the morning sunlight.
It reminded me that I'd like to hike it; maybe not to the summit, but at least see how far I can make it before ice and snow turn me back. I'll do SOME ice and snow, as on our Mt. Whitney trip; but I just can't do the real stuff anymore.
Life is still good, and I am still blessed. May God bless my family and friends.

Robert Moses and the Modern City: The Transformation of New YorkBy: Hilary Ballon (editor), Kenneth T. Jackson (editor)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
Description"We are rebuilding New York, not dispersing and abandoning it": Robert Moses saw himself on a rescue mission to save the city from obsolescence, decentralization, and decline. His vast building program aimed to modernize urban infrastructure, expand the public realm with extensive recreational facilities, remove blight, and make the city more livable for the middle class. This book offers a fresh look at the physical transformation of New York during Moses's nearly forty-year reign over city building from 1934 to 1968.It is hard to imagine that anyone will ever have the same impact on New York as did Robert Moses. In his various roles in city and state government, he reshaped the fabric of the city, and his legacy continues to touch the lives of all New Yorkers. Revered for most of his life, he is now one of the most controversial figures in the city's history. Robert Moses and the Modern City is the first major publication devoted to him since Robert Caro's damning 1974 biography, The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.In these pages eight short essays by leading scholars of urban history provide a revised perspective; stunning new photographs offer the first visual record of Moses's far-reaching building program as it stands today; and a comprehensive catalog of his works is illustrated with a wealth of archival records: photographs of buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes, of parks, pools, and playgrounds, of demolished neighborhoods and replacement housing and urban renewal projects, of bridges and highways; renderings of rejected designs and controversial projects that were defeated; and views of spectacular models that have not been seen since Moses made them for promotional purposes.Robert Moses and the Modern City captures research undertaken in the last three decades and will stimulate a new round of debate.

The Influence of Streaming Video
The rise of Netflix has been nothing short of amazing. The subscription-based video-on-demand site is producing loads of binge-worthy original content and continues to grow by leaps and bounds, adding more than 8.3 million new subscribers from October through December 2017.
Why is Netflix so successful? Some feel as though the answer is their social media presence with viral content.
They recently increased the price of their subscriptions and still exploded past their own growth expectations. According to stock analyst John Janedis with Jeffries & Co, Netflix is grabbing a big share of the social spotlight compared to other networks or cable television:
New Netflix original shows generated an average of 30 percent more mentions on Twitter when compared with new shows on network or cable television, he said, recommending investors hold Netflix shares, setting the 12-month price target at $141, a 6.6 percent downside from Tuesday's close price of $153.08.
"Management has tied the outperformance of original programming to periods of higher [subscriber] growth, which continues to be the biggest driver for the stock on a quarterly basis," Janedis wrote in a note on Wednesday. "If NFLX's platform is more conducive to producing 'viral' content, this could be a sustainable advantage over traditional media platforms as well as other digital platforms with less scale."
Twitter activity can gauge the future success or cancellation of original programming, Janedis said. Following the second season launches of "The Get Down" and "Sense 8," two Netflix original series, marked declines in social media activity preceded each show's cancellation.
Read more here: A secret to Netflix's success: Social media
Netflix started out as a DVD rental and sales site in 1997, where you chose a video online and it came in a red envelope. They purposely chose a business model contrary to Blockbuster, using a flat-fee of unlimited rentals without due dates, late fees, shipping and handling fees.
In 2007, they morphed their product to an online streaming service, allowing customers to download movies from the net. Their foresight was extraordinary, and one key to their success was their extensive personalized video-recommendation system based on ratings and reviews by its customers.
Fast forward to the present, and their membership continues to expand, with a full head of steam going into 2018:
Video On Demand
Disney pulling its content from Netflix in August 2017 was not a big surprise. It comes at a time when video streaming is where the money is. In fact, statistics show that fewer people are going to the theater to watch a movie.
According to a survey by Nielsen, young people between the ages of 12 and 24 are where the biggest numbers are dropping for moviegoers. They prefer to watch shows on their own schedule and skip the expense of the movie theater.
Video on demand is the key, and Netflix has the right formula. Not only is the movie industry hurting, cord cutters are choosing to cancel expensive cable subscriptions.
What is the cost of a Netflix subscription since their price hike?
Netflix has increased the price on two of its three subscription tiers. The midrange "Standard" plan that allows users to watch content on two screens at once has been bumped from $9.99 per month to $10.99 per month. The top-tier "Premium" plan, which allows for four simultaneous streams and access to higher-resolution content, has been upped from $11.99 a month to $13.99 per month. The basic plan that offers single-screen streaming remains at $7.99 per month.
Competition from Disney, Amazon, Apple, and others streaming services may loom on the horizon, but Netflix isn't showing any signs of slowing.

'War consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known'-Thomas Hobbes.
It is possible that the military responded to the Muslim Brotherhood protesters outside the Cairo barracks, killing 51 people, because some in the
crowd were armed and wanted to provoke or panic the army into shooting.
Or else some were determined to give the Muslim Brothers a 'whiff of
The military takeover was bound to be resisted by the
supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and these killings can only intensify the the
sense of martyrdom that has been used to mobilise them; it has put a
seal of blood on the cause and will commit the Muslim Brotherhood to
continue advocating their people to 'rise up'.
The broad
competing power blocs in Egypt now trying to pose as the legitimate
heirs to the 2011 'revolution'-both the Muslim Brotherhood and those who
supported its removal-have deep antagonistic roots that go back to the
divisions caused by Sadat's 'open door' reforms of the economy in the
After 1973 and Israel's victory in another Arab-Israeli
War, Sadat had moved towards making Egypt more closely dependent on the
US instead of the USSR in order to fund its military and economy. The
IMF became involved and its deficit reduction conditions for aid led to
food prices being raised.
The economic conditions were created,
along with rapid urbanisation and growing populations, for the growth of
the Muslim Brotherhood to represent the poorer Egyptians who migrated
to Cairo and the struggling traders shut out of mainstream economic life
by the control exercised by Westernised elites.
Set against that
the way the Muslim Brotherhood had been repressed by Nasser after he
came to power the 1952 with their help, the theme of the betrayal of the
umma by illegitimate usurpers and fake Muslims has been a consistent
one that has now been given added edge.
The irony is that
President Morsi had accepted the close relationship with the US
especially on foreign policy and he was never in a position to challenge
the army's position. Neither were the army not anti-Islamist Egyptians
prepared to give him time to preside over more economic uncertainty and
For decades the economic model proscribed by the the US
and the IMF has not made for social stability nor an economy not
dependent upon an entrenched elite and bureaucracy from using aid to
bolster their own interests. Infant industries have failed to compete
against allowing Western technological imports.
Now in 2013 there
seems to prospect of Egypt being able to move away from a failing
economy at the very time when its political chaos is deterring
investment and the IMF is imposing condition on aid that involve
austerity measures such as the cutting of fuel subsidies and raising
sales tax on goods.
Despite the fact Morsi backed these measures
to get IMF aid, the collapsing economy is interpreted through 'culture
wars' as Muslim Brotherhood supporters see the entire problem in Egypt
as being the fact that evil corrupt pagans have monopolised the system
for themselves.
The Muslim Brotherhood for a long time has preached that by Islamising society more it can create the conditions
upon which true virtue will flourish and corruption in the way aid is
administered banished and the spread to real wealth to believers assured.
his supporters Morsi's removal is an attack on those hopes and his
restoration a precondition for any alleviation of their poverty and
economic deprivation. For those who supported his removal it was seen as
a precondition of any chance to revive tourism, push for open democracy
and restore the economy.
The factors driving civil conflict are
based on deep rooted intractable divisions. Both sides are claiming that
the revolution has been perverted or stolen from them and both regard
the other as counter-revolutionaries prepared to use force and terrorise
the other. So now, perhaps, only power and force can decide the outcome.
question is really whether radical Islamists could possibly put up an
armed revolt and what access to weapons they have. There are no signs
that any in the army are prepared to defect to the rival 'revolution'
against which the coup was directed-both in the name of preserving the
gains of 2011 against dictatorship.

The only case badges on my PC, I'm not a fan of Windows. Both my Amiga's and my C64 are exactly as Commodore made them, I'm very particular on no modifications when it comes to those machines. At most my 1541 has a carefully drilled JiffyDOS switch, and that's only because there was literally nowhere else to mount it, I was sure to mount it on the rear of the drive.

A Marital Mindbender at Crowded Fire Theater
Local playwright Christopher Chen's last work with San Francisco's Crowded Fire Theater was The Hundred Flowers Project in 2012, a truly remarkable play about a theatrical troupe collaboratively creating a postmodern play about Chairman Mao that takes on a life of its own until the creators can no longer tell real life from the all-consuming play.
Chen's latest at Crowded Fire, The Late Wedding, is similarly heady and meta-fictional. This one's inspired by the writings of Italian fabulist Italo Calvino, particularly his novel Invisible Cities, a collection of visions of fantastical cities that often act as allegories to explore philosophical themes. Chen substitutes marriages for cities, depicting an anthropologist exploring the marital customs of various fictional tribes.
A couple in one tribe (Michael Anthony Torres and Lawrence Radecker) spends all their time reminiscing, panicking a little whenever they have trouble reaching consensus on a minor detail of their shared memory. Another tribe believes in prolonging the anticipation of marriage to the point where long-distance relationships are the norm, as heartbreakingly depicted by Kathryn Zdan and Lauren Spencer. Yet another tribe believes that life is death and thus practices detachment in relationships, and Michele Leavy and Ogie Zulueta are hilarious in attempting to present a united front of serenity while squabbling over details as if no more enlightened than anybody else. The marriages are presented without regard to gender; more of them are same-sex than opposite-sex, but that aspect isn't commented upon, just allowed to speak for itself.
Calvino's novel If on a Winter Night a Traveler is also an explicit influence. Much of that novel was a second-person account of the reader's experience of reading the book, and the play begins in a similar way, with Zdan's pre-show turn-off-your-phones speech morphing into her telling us what we're thinking, including what we're thinking about her telling us what we're thinking.

Artistic director Marissa Wolf's deft staging fully embraces and accentuates the weirdness of Chen's assemblage of fragmenting vignettes. The terrific six-person cast continually morphs from one role to another, with some roles echoing others with similar interactions or snippets of repeated language. According to the press release, the play is designed for anywhere from three to 16 actors, so it could be that those resonances are in part due to an element of chance in which roles happen to be sharing one actor's face.
Melpomene Katakalos' marvelous set comprises all-white towers of cubbies with various objects in them that are also painted white: apples, paper cups, books, umbrellas. As the play goes on, some normal objects are placed into these boxes, adding tiny splashes of color, though what these objects are doesn't seem to be thematically linked to the particular vignettes in which they appear.
Eventually the framework of anthropological studies is abandoned entirely as the play goes into all kinds of unexpected directions that still keep returning to the theme of marriage. The previously established structure dissolves into scenes and scenarios that trail off into each other, interspersed with delightfully random ephemera from the brain of the playwright -- or rather the unnamed fictional representation of the playwright. As fascinating and often funny as these twists and turns are (in part due to Chen's readiness to poke fun at the meta-fictional complexity of his own work), the meandering of the narrative starts to feel aimless toward the end of the 80-minute play. Rather than building on what's gone before and gaining resonance, the show loses some steam as it slows toward the placid, lyrical denouement. That said, with your head spinning from all the narrative shifts, a rare quiet moment to process may be appreciated.

Actor Fox Films Campaign Ad for Kerry
Ah, yes, the new universal snake oil masquerading as a catch-all panacea, embryonic stem cell research. Clearly, this marks Michael J. Fox as the greatest actor of our time. To be able to play Alex P. Keaton, uber-"greed-is-good"-80's-prosperity-Republican while at the same time being a Democratic campaigner demonstrates a true ability to hide himself in the role he plays.
Again, this is more grist for my mill that Hollywood and the entertainment industry thinks we are remarkably stupid. "Ooooooh, Alex said to vote for John Kerry." Sad to say it, but I suspect the vast majority of people are dumb enough to say, I like his movies; I must like his politics. I wish people could understand that the destruction of the unborn to harvest stem cells in the hopes of curing illness, even though current research continues to suggest that adult stem cells work better, still is a grave moral evil. If a married couple wants to have children, but currently are infertile, this doesn't justify their kidnapping the cutest kid on the playground. In the same way, people suffer from terrible illness and we should do what we can to ease their suffering or even cure the illness, but we cannot do it if it cost the life of another person in the process. A Faustian deal like that leads us nowhere.

It is trying so hard to snow today.
The Red Cardinals were sitting quietly, feathers fluffed, waiting for the feeders to be filled.
That was the first thing on my agenda this morning. Feeders and suet baskets refilled.
I've been watching the snow flakes dance about outside my window and hoping enough of them will land. So far they are disappearing as fast as they fall.
A pretty pot of daisies sits on my kitchen table.
beeswax candles burning ...
fresh cup of tea made ...
thinking of Valentine's day ...
making some pretty wrapping paper,
cards & envelopes {like these}
all you need to make your own is :
acrylic paint
brown craft wrapping paper
celery core {yes ... celery core} :-)
Cut the stalks of celery from the core.
Blot core on tea towel to remove excess moisture.
Pour a small amount of white acrylic paint on to plate {you can thin with a bit of water if you want}
Dip core into white acrylic paint and stamp paper randomly.
create envelopes, cards, gift tags and paper
Hope you are having a wonderful Friday ♥

Joel Obi free from Inter Sack
Related Articles
Super Eagles midfielder, Joel Obi's name has been left out of the list of players facing departure from Italian side, Inter Milan this transfer window.
Reports in the Italian media on Wednesday indicated some of the names that the club have highlighted as up for sale.
The Nerazzurri are in a transitional process under new owner Erick Thohir, with the likes of Nemanja Vidic and Yann M'Vila coming in to push the San Siro outfit up the table.
However, Tuttosport have revealed a number of the players the Indonesian businessman and Coach Walter Mazzarri deem as surplus to requirements.
Ricky Alvarez is probably the most high-profile of those, with the paper claiming that a fee of 12m euros could see him leave.
Fredy Guarin is also another on the list, with the club seemingly upset with his protracted, but ultimately fruitless, attempt to move to Juventus in January.
Saphir Taider could be used in a part-exchange deal for Southampton's Dani Osvaldo, whilst Hugo Campagnaro, Ezequiel Schelotto and Matias Silvestre could all also go.
Obi spent almost all of last season out on loan at Parma, and before that, was out injured, meaning he's had little playing time at the club.
Inter are hoping to raise at least 30m euros from the sales.
