Safe and Professional Cabling & Bracing in Rockingham
Multi-trunked trees in Rockingham are much more susceptible to failure than trees with single trunks. With multi-trunked trees, each trunk competes for canopy space. They also compete for root space. As a result, the limbs and foliage grow away from the center of the collective trunks, placing the weight load on one side of each trunk. Failure of any singular trunk can create a wound at the collective base that heals slowly and is an open invitation to insects and diseases.
In Rockingham North Carolina, trees that are prone to vertical splitting include Live Oak, Red Oak, and American Elm. These splits are often caused by structural stress or storm damage. Split trunks need to be dealt with immediately. Split trunks limbs can be cabled to maintain a specific height or to provide clearance above a walkway, driveway, or roof. Cabling your Rockingham tree is an alternative to removing large branches, which may affect the tree's aesthetic appeal.
Helping Save Trees in Rockingham Since 1994
H&L Tree Service will evaluate the structural integrity of your tree to determine the best course of action. H&L Tree Service will identify weak branches or limbs on your Rockingham tree and implement a solution to ensure that they are better able to withstand severe weather, to improve their longevity, and reduce potential risk. The correct combination of pruning, cabling, and bracing can save your Rockingham tree.
First, we selectively prune your tree to get rid of problem branches. Next, we work to address existing split limbs and at risk limbs, using a combination of cabling and bracing your Rockingham tree. Cables reduce end weight and redistribute structural stress. They are used to limit the movement of supported branches so they are less likely to fail during storms. Braces are threaded rods that provide support to weak branches.
Call (910) 390-0906 to schedule a tree inspection at your Rockingham property, along with a free estimate. The knowledgeable arborists at H&L Tree Service will examine your tree to identify potential weak points. H&L Tree Service provides follow-up inspections to ensure the health of your Rockingham tree. H&L Tree Service has been in the tree services business in Rockingham since 1994. Call (910) 390-0906 for emergency cabling and bracing for your Rockingham tree.

They cut the tree down and got all the limbs out the way, and even got a few extra trees. They are courteous, very respectful, fast, and precise. In between the trees and my house were power lines and not one limb fell towards either way and they got it down in no time. I recommend H&H Tree Service and I give them the most highly respectable grading and it wouldn't be five it would be 10! I want to say thank you to all you guys for everything.

Posts the Highest Delivery of Adults 18-34 of Any Program in FX History
Week 2 of Coven Likely to Top the Premiere Episode on Live+7
LOS ANGELES, October 22, 2013 - With week-over-week increases in time-shifted viewing nearly doubling (Live+3), the second episode of American Horror Story: Coven, "Boy Parts" (10/16/13), posted a spectacular performance and set a record for the highest delivery of Adults 18-34 of any program in FX's history. Week 2 of Coven delivered 2.95 million Adults 18-34 topping its debut episode 2.92 million (Live+3) in the demo, and all FX telecasts inclusive of Live+7.
The second episode of Coven pulled ahead of its premiere episode in audience delivery in many major demos, erasing what previously were double-digit percentage declines on a Live+Same Day measurement. Furthermore, when Live+7 data becomes available, ratings for the second episode of American Horror Story: Coven will likely surpass those of the premiere episode across the board, which would mark the first time that has happened in the three years of the American Horror Story franchise.
Inclusive of Live+ 3 data, episode 2 of American Horror Story: Coven delivered 7.12 million Total Viewers and 4.98 million Adults 18-49, just -2% off from the premiere episode. Coven is averaging 7.2 million Total Viewers, 5.03 million Adults 18-49, and 2.93 million Adults 18-34, which are respective gains of +49% in Total Viewers, +41% in Adults 18-49 and +33% in Adults 18-34 of American Horror Story: Asylum (Live+3 to Live+3 comparison). Coven's gains over American Horror Story: Murder House are significantly higher with increases of +89% in Total Viewers, +90% in Adults 18-49, and +97% in Adults 18-34.
The Week 2 Live+3 percentage lifts for Coven over its debut week rose to +58% from +31% in Total Viewers, +59% from +31% in Adults 18-49, and +50% from +24% in Adults 18-34.
In tomorrow night's third chapter of American Horror Story: Coven, "The Replacements" (Airs October 23, 10:00 pm e/p), Fiona (Jessica Lange) takes on an unlikely protégé. A guilt-ridden Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) tries to give Kyle (Evan Peters) his old life back. Madison (Emma Roberts) has a fiery exchange with Joan Ramsey (Patti LuPone), a new neighbor (Written by James Wong; Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon).
American Horror Story: Coven tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Jessica Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way. American Horror Story: Coven features an extraordinary cast including Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Frances Conroy, Lily Rabe, Denis O'Hare, Patti LuPone, and Danny Huston. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto, Tim Minear, James Wong, Jennifer Salt, and Brad Buecker are Executive Producers of American Horror Story: Coven. It is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television.

"But, after all, if, as a child, you saw, every Mardi Gras, the figure of Folly chasing Death around the broken column of Life, beating him on the back with a Fool's Scepter from which dangled two gilded pig bladders; or the figure of Columbus dancing drunkenly on top of a huge revolving globe of the world; or Revelry dancing on an enormous upturned wine glass -wouldn't you see the world in different terms, too? "
- From "The Untidy Pilgrim" by Eugene Walter
Did you know...
that Mobile is the birthplace of America's original Mardi Gras? That's right, Mardi Gras originated in 1703 right here in our port city. It was revived after the Civil War when citizen Joe Cain, fed up with post-war misery, led an impromptu parade down city streets. We've been doing it ever since and we mark the annual occasion with majestic parades, colorful floats and flying Moon Pies. Mardi Gras celebrations begin two and a half weeks before Fat Tuesday and the Port City comes to life. Elaborate themed floats manned by masked mystic societies, mounted police and marching bands wind through downtown Mobile and surrounding areas, entertaining nearly a million revelers each year.
Our Carnival is a family-friendly time of parties, balls, parades and revelry. Find your spot and get ready to catch Moon Pies, beads and trinkets. And not to forget the man who kept Mardi Gras alive, Joe Cain Day is observed the Sunday before Fat Tuesday.
Mobile Mardi Gras kicks off in Downtown Mobile on February 1 and ends on Fat Tuesday, February 25, 2020!

"Life is Around Me"
from Jason's Album
Unlock My Heart
Since 1990, thousands of people have begun to heal their body, mind and spirit through the revolutionary work of Jinen Jason Shulman. We invite you to take a few moments to find out about our teleconferences, courses, workshops and the worldwide community of A Society of Souls.
The work of A Society of Souls is the work of healing the human body, mind and spirit. For over twenty years, seekers have come to ASOS to study and awaken and to bring back to their work, families and communities a new vision of what it means to live in the totality of being human. People have come to find common cause in a new vision of what a healing human life is.
The spirituality we teach is based on the practical reality of the here and now. It arises from this place, where our bodies and hearts reside. Some have said that the nature of our healing work takes place beyond the realms of judgment and time and resonates throughout physical and non-physical worlds. But it also must be said that this healing takes place right here in this imperfect world filled with imperfect beings, within our limitations, our courage and our greatness. For us, uncovering our suffering with kindness is the first radical act of joy. Our aim is to live an enlightened human life and become a healing presence in the world.
All of our modalities are designed to heal and awaken. Our students come from every imaginable background. I invite you to explore our site, to learn about our school, our work and our teachers, and to consider becoming part of our worldwide community.
With blessings,
Jason Shulman

The range states of the Polar Bear – Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the United States – today signed a landmark declaration that will strengthen measures to conserve this iconic animal which is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.
Polar Bears are a huge part of the folklore and identity of the Arctic region, particularly for indigenous peoples who have co-existed with them for thousands of years and whose livelihoods are inextricably linked with them. They are also a critical part of the ecology of the region, with many important relationships with other species.
But they are under increasing pressure. Traditional threats to polar bears such as pollution and unsustainable development now pale in comparison with the threat of climate change and related increase in human activities in the Arctic.
How to secure a future for the species is being discussed by Government and NGO representatives meeting 4-6 December in Moscow at the International Forum on Conservation of Polar Bears, Jubilee Meeting of the Parties to the 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears.
The 1973 agreement is the action plan of the range states for researching, managing and conserving polar bears throughout their territory.
IUCN plays a special role in the agreement – its Polar Bear Specialist Group, part of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, provides scientific and technical advice to the range states for the agreement and has supported its operation since the inception of the group in 1968.
Poul Engberg-Pedersen, Deputy Director General of IUCN, gave an opening speech at the conference and Dag Vongraven, Chair of the Polar Bear Specialist Group, and Steven Amstrup, member of the Specialist Group, are serving as technical advisors to the proceedings. They presented a series of updates to the meeting, including current status and threats to the 19 subpopulations of Polar Bears throughout the Arctic, a monitoring framework for polar bear conservation and discussion of upcoming research priorities.
The declaration outlines key steps for implementing the 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears, through such actions as completing the development of a Circumpolar Action Plan on polar bears by 2015; identifying and conserving sufficient polar bear habitat; fully implementing polar bear monitoring programmes and updating the range-wide status and population trends of polar bears. The latter is directed towards the IUCN SSC Polar Bear Specialist Group, which already undertakes this work; an updated global IUCN Red List assessment of the species will be undertaken by IUCN and the Polar Bear Specialist Group in 2015.

NORTON, Mass. – Led by Corey Laliberte's seven shutout innings and Sean Ryan's 3-for-4, two RBI showing at the plate the Lyons of Wheaton College (33-7) defeated baseball (17-19-1) by the final of 5-0 Wednesday afternoon Sidell Stadium in the regular-season non-conference finale for the Beacons.
On the hill, Laliberte scattered six Beacons hits in his seven complete innings of work. He tallied just one strikeout and did not allow a walk. Ryan's afternoon capped off a nine hit day for the Lyons, which included four doubles.
Wheaton entered Wednesday's contest ranked ninth on the D3Baseball.com/NBCWA Top-25 Coaches Poll and sixth on the ABCA Coaches Poll. The Lyons are also ranked first in New England.
For the Beacons, freshman Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) fresh of his no-hitter from a week ago went five complete innings and totaled two strikeouts. Wheaton managed four runs on six hits while the lefty was on the hill. Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) posted three of the Beacons eight hits, with Jack DeBiase (Prospect, Conn.) 2-for-4.
Wheaton got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first on an RBI double from Eric Jensen. The Lyons then tacked on their second run in the fourth when Apolinar De la Cruz singled to left field, which scored Ryan who doubled to right field to start off the inning.
In the fifth, the Lyons offense tacked on two more runs, before scoring their fifth and final run in the seventh. Beacons did get a runner in scoring position in the ninth, but the Lyons would get the final out to secure the win.
Baseball returns to action on Friday when they travel to Rhode Island College for a Little East Conference doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled at noon.

In an era when culture itself has become central to political debates, when boundaries between hard and soft news, facts and opinion are dissolving, cultural journalism in mainstream media contributes to democratic discourses on vital issues of our time. European and Nordic research has shown the steady expansion of cultural journalism, from new forms of aesthetic expression to news, to harbouring debates and reflection on such issues as freedom of expression, ethnicity and national identity. Cultural journalism is furthermore indicative of questions of journalistic autonomy and specialisation within media organisations, and of the relationship between the cultural and political public spheres.
This symposium brings together international researchers to compare and contrast research on cultural journalism from diverse geopolitical contexts, focusing specifically on transnational and democratic aspects. The symposium will showcase and discuss prominent research in the field, and identify future research agendas on cultural journalism. To this end, it aims to create opportunities for collaboration across geographical, disciplinary and subject-specific contexts. The symposium also constitutes an opportunity to interact with practitioners of cultural journalism, and to discuss the particularities of cultural journalism as well as the challenges that concern the entire journalistic field, such as the economic and democratic crisis of journalism, professionalization, populism, and the importance of digital platforms and social media.
Cultural journalism's expansion of content coincides with the increased blurring of the boundaries in relation to lifestyle and celebrity on the one hand, and news journalism and political debate, on the other. Cultural journalism's engagement in themes such as migration, #Metoo, terrorism and climate change, have inspired some scholars to go beyond the boundaries of the field, and connect it to political communication. Research has also pointed to the fact that the topics and discourses of cultural journalism are becoming more difficult to distinguish from lifestyle journalism, especially since the adoption of a more "service-oriented" journalism, which sets itself up as a guide to personal cultural consumption. At the same time, scholars report a greater international, or even transnational orientation of cultural journalism. This may portend a greater homogenization of content, as well as more cosmopolitan and transnational perspectives in content. Although several large comparative studies have linked the field of cultural journalism to globalization in this sense, studies of cultural journalism have in themselves still mainly been undertaken in national contexts.
The symposium will provide a forum for presenting in its final stages the project "The Worlds of Cultural Journalism: Politics and Culture under Globalization and Digitalization", which explores content, production and consumption of Swedish cultural journalism over the last four decades. The symposium will provide the opportunity for the cultural journalism research field to summon and direct its attention to transformations related to democracy, politics and globalization, including issues such as citizen participation, reach, digitalization, professionalization and the blurring of genres in view of new media ecologies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Geographical, spatial and scalar dimensions of cultural journalism
- Cultural journalism, politics and democracy
- Cultural journalism and cultural conflicts
- Multiculturalism and hybridity in cultural journalism
- Cultural journalism and professionalization
- Cultural journalism and its relation to the cultural industries
- The sources and actors of cultural journalism
- Cultural journalism beyond legacy media
- Local, national or global audiences of cultural journalism
- Cultural journalism and digital content circulation in social media
- Genre and style developments in cultural journalism
- Representations of "culture" in other subfields of journalism (e.g. news, economy, editorials, sports journalism etc.)
- Critics and public intellectuals in the digital media
- Entertainment, celebrity and cultural influencers
We plan to draw on the symposium contributions to put together a comparative international anthology that contributes to the current literature on the subject.
The program includes:
Confirmed keynotes: Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (University of Copenhagen) and Professor David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds)
Presentation of results from "The Worlds of Cultural Journalism" project by Kristina Riegert, Anna Roosvall and Andreas Widholm.
A concluding keynote panel with researchers and cultural journalists discussing the future of cultural journalism.
Participation is free of charge and includes two lunches and one dinner.
Please e-mail your abstract to: firstname.lastname@example.com no later than 5 November. Notification of acceptance will go out 15 November. If you have any questions about the symposium, don't hesitate to ask email@example.com.
We hope to see you in Stockholm!

A girl who had saved up her money to buy a "Disney Princess" jewelry making kit opened it to find it less than half full.
The girl's mother filed a complaint against the toymaker with the San Diego City Attorney's Office.
On Thursday, officials announced a penalty of $225,000 against the distributor of the craft kits that used Disney characters on the packaging.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith described the toy packaging as a classic case of "bait and switch."
There were 16,484 packages delivered to California and sold at Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us for $13 each.
The toy gives children the chance to create bracelets and necklaces with colored string and beads. Some of the beads have images of Disney princesses.
The package was sealed and designed to look like a full case of beads.
Once the kit was opened however, the buyer soon realized the only beads in the kit were the ones that could be seen through the small window in the packaging.
The New Jersey company, Horizon Group USA, cooperated with prosecutors and agreed to pay the penalties without admitting wrongdoing.
Now the company is under a court injunction prohibiting them from offering items for sale in California marked under the Walt Disney Company brand in such packaging.
"I know there are tough times in the business world and profits need to be increased but not in expense of misrepresenting a product to kids," said Goldsmith.
Officials with the San Diego District Attorney's Office said the ruling should be a reminder to businesses that they work with the City Attorney's office on consumer fraud violations.
"We are watching. We are looking at what you're producing and how you're selling it," said San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. "You need to be fair to our consumers."
The City Attorney's office has a consumer hotline available to residents to report any violations 619-533-5600.

(CNN) -- He was one of South Africa's favorite sons, an amputee track star who defied all the odds and sprinted into the hearts of millions during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She was a staggering beauty with the brains to match, a law graduate and model whose star was on the rise.
Oscar Pistorius, 27, and his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, were a young, attractive and high-profile couple who were popular in South Africa's social circles. The "Blade Runner," who won six Paralympic gold medals and was the first double amputee runner to compete in the Olympics, was an international superstar. Cover girl Steenkamp, soon to star in a TV reality show, was on the cusp of becoming a celebrity in her own right.
But everything changed before dawn on Valentine's Day 2013, as Steenkamp lay lifeless in a pool of blood on the floor of her boyfriend's house in an upscale gated community in Pretoria. Moments before, Pistorius says, he had pointed his 9mm Parabellum pistol towards an upstairs toilet room and fired four bullets through the locked door.
He says he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar. The state says it was cold-blooded murder.
When Pistorius steps once again into the spotlight Monday, more than a year after that fateful morning, it will be as the defendant in South Africa's "trial of the century." Hundreds of journalists from around the world will be in Pretoria to witness the proceedings get under way. Millions more will follow parts of the trial on live television, thanks to a judge's decision last week allowing cameras in a South African courtroom for the first time -- although any testimony by Pistorius, or witnesses who do not consent, will not be televised.
INTERACTIVE: Explore each side's argument
Pistorius faces one charge of premeditated murder in the shooting death of Steenkamp, a firearms charge associated with her killing, and two separate gun indictments from previous incidents. In South Africa, murder carries a mandatory life sentence.
The sprinter's lawyers will argue he was a man deeply in love with his girlfriend who made a terrible mistake. Pistorius says he heard a noise from the bathroom in the middle of the night and, feeling vulnerable without his prosthetic legs on, charged towards the bathroom on his stumps and shot through the toilet door in order to protect himself and Steenkamp.
"I felt a sense of terror rushing over me," he said in his court affidavit. "There are no burglar bars across the bathroom window and I knew that contractors who worked at my house had left the ladders outside."
"It filled me with horror and fear of an intruder or intruders being inside the toilet. I thought he or they must have entered through the unprotected window. As I did not have my prosthetic legs on and felt extremely vulnerable, I knew I had to protect Reeva and myself."
"I grabbed my 9mm pistol from underneath my bed. On my way to the bathroom I screamed words to the effect for him/them to get out of my house and for Reeva to phone the police. It was pitch dark in the bedroom and I thought Reeva was in bed."
READ MORE: Oscar Pistorius' affidavit to court in full
"I noticed that the bathroom window was open. I realized that the intruder/s was/were in the toilet because the toilet door was closed and I did not see anyone in the bathroom. I heard movement inside the toilet. The toilet is inside the bathroom and has a separate door."
"I fired shots at the toilet door and shouted to Reeva to phone the police. She did not respond and I moved backwards out of the bathroom, keeping my eyes on the bathroom entrance. Everything was pitch dark in the bedroom and I was still too scared to switch on a light. Reeva was not responding. When I reached the bed, I realised that Reeva was not in bed."
Pistorius claims he went back to put his prosthetic legs on, and found Steenkamp inside the bathroom slumped over. He says he carried her downstairs, where she died in his arms.
But prosecutors are painting a different picture. They believe the pair had an argument and that Steenkamp locked herself in the toilet. At last year's bail hearing the state said Pistorius put on his prosthetic legs, collected his gun from under the bed, and walked down the hall leading from the bedroom to the bathroom before unloading a flurry of shots through the door.
Observers believe the case will hinge on several pieces of evidence:
Was Pistorius wearing his prosthetics?
Pistorius, who was born with a congenital abnormality and had both legs amputated before his first birthday, says he wasn't wearing his prosthetics at the time of the shooting.
Prosecutors say the sprinter's act was a premeditated murder -- that he took the time to put on his legs before walking to the bathroom and shot through the toilet door, intentionally killing his girlfriend.
What will ballistic tests on the door show? It will be crucial to hear the evidence from police experts on where the bullets hit the door and at what angle. Will the tests on the toilet door show that the trajectory of the bullets came downwards from a higher angle than would be possible if Pistorius was firing from his stumps? If true, it could bolster the state's case that Steenkamp's killing was premeditated. Or will Pistorius' version of the story -- that he was on his stumps -- be borne out by forensics?
Were Pistorius and Steenkamp arguing?
Pistorius says he and Steenkamp enjoyed a quiet dinner at home on the night of her death. "She was doing her yoga exercises and I was in bed watching television," he said in his court affidavit last year. "We were deeply in love and I could not be happier."
But authorities say a witness living 300 meters from Pistorius' home heard the couple having a heated argument in the early hours of Valentine's Day -- an assertion the track star's team disputed at his bail hearing.
Will phone data be the smoking gun?
The cell phones found at the scene could make or break Pistorius' case. Modern GPS technology can trace a phone's location within a meter as it is carried from one place to another. Steenkamp had taken her phone with her when she went to the bathroom. Did she try to call anyone in the moments before her death? Was Pistorius really in bed at 10 p.m., as he has claimed? The phone data may be able to tell the story of the couple's movements that night.
At last year's bail hearing in Pretoria, the magistrate also castigated police for failing to trace phone calls from Pistorius' home. But phones were far from the only problem the state had in laying out its case.
South African police in the spotlight
Hilton Botha, the lead investigator at the time, admitted that investigators contaminated the crime scene by walking through the house without wearing protective foot covers because they had run out of them.
Botha also testified that investigators had found two boxes of testosterone and needles at Pistorius' home -- to audible gasps from the packed courtroom -- before backtracking and admitting he may have misread the label. The defense said it was an herbal remedy.
The longer the hearing went on, the more holes appeared to show in the prosecution's case. At one point Pistorius' attorney forced a beleaguered Botha to admit that the state had thus far found no evidence to contradict the runner's version of events. Police in Pretoria soon pulled Botha off the case.
Pistorius has never denied killing Steenkamp. "I cannot bear to think of the suffering I have caused her and her family, knowing how much she was loved. I also know that the events of that tragic night were as I have described them," he claims in his affidavit.
If he isn't convicted of premeditated murder, the sprinter would still face a lesser charge of "culpable homicide," a crime based on negligence, and could be looking at up to 15 years in jail, experts say.

Pistorius is not claiming self-defense; he is claiming to have been mistaken about his need for self-defense. He is denying that he intentionally unlawfully killed Steenkamp.
If the court were to rule that his mistake was unreasonable -- based on what an objective, ordinary South African would do in the circumstances of the accused -- he would be found guilty of culpable homicide.
The first round of the trial, which begins on Monday, is expected to last three weeks. South Africa abolished jury trials in 1969, and Pistorius' case will be heard by Thokozile Matilda Masipa, only the second black woman appointed to the bench since the end of apartheid.

The case has shocked the world and put the spotlight on South Africa's rampant gun violence and high crime rates. Roughly 45 people are murdered every day, according to police statistics, and the number of home burglaries is up 70 percent in the last decade. In 2012, more than half of South Africans told the country's police force that they're afraid of having their homes broken into. In his affidavit, Pistorius claimed he had been the victim of violence and burglaries before, including death threats.
The trial has also divided opinion in South Africa. Many of his fans find it difficult to believe a national hero could be capable of the crime he's been charged with. Others find his version of events that night implausible, and point to troubling details that the case has dredged up about Pistorius' past.
READ MORE: Who is "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius?
In its indictment, police described Pistorius recklessly shooting a 9mm handgun out of the sunroof of a car on a public road in 2010. Police have also charged him with unlawfully firing a Glock 27 pistol at a restaurant in January of 2012. A friend of the sprinter told CNN that Pistorius was showing the gun to a friend when it went off at the outdoor café accidently.
Since Steenkamp's death, Pistorius has shied away from the spotlight. He lives at his uncle Arnold Pistorius' house in Pretoria, and although video surfaced last year of him training, he has not returned to the track in an official capacity. But support from his family has been unwavering.
"We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case, including its own forensic evidence, strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder or indeed any murder at all," said Arnold Pistorius.

Hundreds of miles from Pretoria, Reeva Steenkamp's parents now run a pub called the Barking Spider in Port Elizabeth. Some of her family members, including her mother, have said that they will attend the trial. It will be the first time they'll face their daughter's killer in court. They have not been at previous court appearances because they said they wanted privacy. Now they are seeking "closure, and to know that our daughter did not suffer on that tragic Valentine's Day," the parents said in a prepared statement in mid-February.
In the meantime, Steenkamp's family has tried to focus on the memory of Reeva -- not on the media and legal circus about to unfold in Pretoria.
"It's not about the court case," her uncle, Mike Steenkamp, told CNN. "It's about Reeva, and Reeva can never be part of it."
At the same time, Mike Steenkamp said seeing Pistorius may bring at least some closure to what has been a harrowing year for the family.
"I would like to be face to face with him and forgive him, forgive him for what he's done. That way I can then probably find more peace."

NEW YORK — FC Dallas' 20-year-old winger Brek Shea won his first career Player of the Week award as voted on Monday by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR). The U.S. youth national team forward sent his team into the two-week World Cup break with a victory, scoring both goals in a 2-0 home win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday [WATCH: Shea scores FCD's first, and then adds another].
The brace by the native Texan came in a two-minute span in the second half and increased Shea's 2010 goals total to three. In the 58th minute Shea lost his marker in the center of the penalty area and slotted home a David Ferreira pass. Two minutes later Shea outmuscled San Jose's Chris Leitch to a long ball into the Dallas attack and flicked a shot by Quakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon to ice the result for FCD.
It was the first multi-goal game of Shea's career as he continues to enjoy a breakout season for FC Dallas after spending time on the bench earlier in the season. The second overall selection of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has started in seven consecutive matches for the club, tying his career high from 2009.
The honor was the first Player of the Week award by an FC Dallas player in 2010 and the fourth by an American player after 11 weeks.
2010 Players of the Week
Week 1: Javier Morales (Real Salt Lake)
Week 2: Kenny Mansally (New England Revolution)
Week 3: Sebastien Le Toux (Philadelphia Union)

Holy Cow. What a crazy busy couple of days it's been. I'm in Vegas for the Nevada caucuses, and as per usual, this work trip is like vacation, since I only have to wear one hat. Which is why I'm just now writing up a post on how it went on The Mark Davis Show yesterday morning.
On Wednesday, I wrote an article for The Stir in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure pulling their funding from Planned Parenthood. I expected some nasty comments, but was unprepared for the level of hate I received over it.
I got called a whole host of nasty things, but the general theme was, "Jenny is a f*cking liar spreading hate speech with her disgusting anti-choice lies."
Whoa. What did I say that could induce such vitriol?
Besides, Planned Parenthood doesn't even offer mammograms, which are the surest way to detect early signs of cancer. How much money do they need to be able to tell a patient, "Yup, that feels like a lump — here's the number for a place that can actually help you"?
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood pushes abortions, lies about fetal development, and gives advice to pimps on how to set up brothels full of underage sex slaves. Think abortion accounts for only 3 percent of their services provided? Think again.
All backed up with links. But of course, those links don't count, because they take you to sites like LifeNews.com, or even my own blog, to a guest post from a friend about her personal experience with post-abortion syndrome.
So apparently that friend is lying about her personal experience and emotions. Um, ok.
These are people that probably think Media Matters for America is a credible news source. I could link them to a list of articles on Big Journalism detailing what a shady organization MMFA is, but since it's Big Journalism, I'd probably just be spreading more vicious lies.
After the first 200 (there are currently 300+) comments, I started mentioning it on Twitter, and some of my friends jumped to my defense. Ben Howe went to town in the comments, politely and firmly defending me, the truth, and life. Jason Whitman wrote an article featuring the piece. Susan Cloud rallied the troops on Twitter, and booked me on The Mark Davis Show to talk about it.
So Mark and I chatted about it, and of course it was totally fun doing a radio hit, even if the subject matter wasn't so pleasant. Click here to listen: Jenny on The Mark Davis Show 2/3/2012
While I was on the air, news broke that Komen reversed their decision, and would continue to fund Planned Parenthood. That made me so mad, I could spit nails. Did they bow to the nasty pressure exerted by the far liberal left, or was it their intention all along to get a boost in donations?
Later, Komen board member John Raffaelli told Greg Sargent from the Washington Post that nothing is set in stone:
"It would be highly unfair to ask us to commit to any organization that doesn't go through a grant process that shows that the money we raise is used to carry out our mission," Raffaelli said. "We're a humanitarian organization. We have a mission. Tell me you can help carry out our mission and we will sit down at the table."
So now maybe Komen won't continue funding in the future? What side of the fence are you on, Komen? Stop yanking us around. You guys can spend your funds as you see fit, and we can choose whether or not to donate to you based on the organizations you support. You're not making anyone happy trying to straddle both sides of the fence.

Silent Quantum Genius
The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom
Why should anyone who is not a physicist be interested in Paul Dirac? Dirac is interesting for the same reasons that Einstein is interesting. Both made profound discoveries that changed our way of thinking. And both were unique human beings with strong opinions and strong passions. Besides these two major similarities, many details of their lives were curiously alike. Both won the Nobel Prize for physics, Einstein in 1921 and Dirac in 1933. Both had two children of their own and two stepchildren from a wife's previous marriage. Both were intensely involved in the community of professional scientists in Europe when they were young. Both of them emigrated to the United States and became isolated from the American scientific community when they were old. The main difference between them is the fact that Einstein was one of the most famous people in the world while Dirac remained obscure.
There are many reasons why Einstein became inordinately famous. The main reason is that he enjoyed being famous and entertained the public with provocative statements that made good newspaper headlines. Dirac had neither the desire nor the gift for publicity. He discouraged inquisitive journalists by remaining silent. Einstein has had dozens of books written about him, while Dirac has only two, Dirac: A Scientific Biography by Helge Kragh, published in 1990, and this new biography by Graham Farmelo. The Kragh biography is full of equations and is addressed to experts only. The enormous fame of Einstein and the obscurity of Dirac have given the public a false picture of the two revolutions that they led. The public is aware of one revolution and correctly gives credit for it to Einstein. That was the revolution that changed the way we think about space and time. The new way of thinking was called relativity.
The second revolution that came ten years later was more profound, and changed the way we think about almost everything, not only in physics but in chemistry and biology and philosophy. It changed the way we think about the nature of science, about cause and effect, about past and future, about facts and probabilities. This new way of thinking was called quantum mechanics. The second revolution was led by a group of half a dozen people including Einstein. It does not belong to a single leader. But the purest and boldest thinker of the second revolution was Dirac. If we wish to give the second revolution a human face, the most appropriate face is Dirac. Farmelo writes that "in one of his greatest achievements," Dirac arranged
what had seemed an unlikely marriage—between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity—in the form of an exquisitely beautiful equation to describe the…

Related (but different) question: Why are there no line numbers in the code listings?.
Some posters post blocks of code with line numbers. This generally does not make the code any easier to read (especially if it pushes long lines past the end of the box), and makes it substantially more difficult to copy-and-paste the code if someone wants to try it out.
I suggest that the posting software should check for formatted code blocks with line numbers, and suggest (but not require) that the poster should remove them. The message could also suggest adding a comment like
/* this is line 42 */ to any lines referred to by error messages.

I shut my aerator off for the winter, will I have to introduce it slowly again in the spring?
George – Albany, NY
As pond owners we buy aeration systems for our water bodies with the intentions of creating a cleaner and healthier environment for both ourselves and our fish. While aeration systems are great at eliminating water stratification and promoting the ideal environment for a healthy pond, the key to proper use is proper installation.
The surface of your pond reacts to the ambient air temperature and warmth from the sun considerably faster than deeper regions. As we head into spring the temperature will begin to rise as the sun shines down on your pond. The top layer of water in your pond will begin to warm up quickly while the bottom of your pond stays dark and cold. Furthermore, the surface of your pond is exposed to oxygen which is naturally wicked into the water column but remains only in the upper layers. This formation of warmer and cooler layers of water is known as stratification. Stratification can become a potential hazard as the two different layers of water will sometimes flip or "turnover" and mix together causing a sudden change in water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels which, depending on its severity, can make it difficult for your fish to adapt to the quickly changing environment.
Airmax® Aeration Systems are designed to infuse oxygen into your water column from the bottom of the pond while continuously circulating the water. This constant action aids to prevent water stratification for occurring. However, when aeration is introduced suddenly and continuous to your pond you are, in essence, creating a man-made turnover by forcing all of the water at the bottom of your pond to the surface.
When installing an aeration system in your pond, or upon reintroduction of your system after winter removal, you will want to run your system in small increments that grow in duration over the course of a week. Think of this process as the same way you acclimate new fish to your pond. You wouldn't just grab a new fish by the tail and toss them in your pond, you float their holding container in your pond and slowly mix some of the water together to give them time to adjust to the variations in each environment. By running your aeration system for only an hour the first day you install it and doubling the run time each day after, your aeration system will be running continuously by the end of the week while keeping your fish safe from pond turnovers.
Pond Talk: Have you ever experienced turnover in your pond? Share your stories with potential aeration newcomers and pond veterans alike.

As promised, I am back with a complete, step-by-step guide to rooting Samsung's Galaxy Spica/Lite/Portal i5700 Android handset, using LeshaK's Kernel Spica v.LK2.02. Not only is this root easy without any complex commands, but also it brings nicety such as full root, su+Superuser, support for ext2, ext3 and ext4 SD card partitions, recovery mode, etc.
A few things before I begin with the walkthrough. First, the whole credit for this guide, the kernel used and everything else goes to LeshaK, the administrator of Samdroid forum. I have just simplified his guide for average users, since most of the forum is in Russian. Second, this guide assumes that your device is running on firmware 2.1, any version above JC3, and you know how to use Odin. If you want to know how to upgrade your firmware, check out our 2.1 update guide for Spica.
Third, this guide also assumes that your Samsung Android drivers (USB modem and Composite device) are properly installed, and that you have Android Debug Bridge (adb) properly configured. If not, check our the 2.1 update guide for drivers, and tutorial for setting up adb.
Please remember that any modifications to your firmware are potentially dangerous, and while they reward greatly, you must proceed at your own risk. If you don't know what you are doing, it is advisable to avoid rather than having a bricked device. You have been warned!
This process will not delete any of your files or settings, both in SD card and internal memory.
Without further ado, here's how to gain root and flash LeshaK's kernel 2.02.
To begin with, download these two files.
- LK2-02-1_update.zip
- i5700_LK2-02_PDA.zip
Also download the Odin Multiloader for Android here if you don't have it already. You need the spica_jc3.ops file for this guide, which we have bundled with Odin.
Mount your SD card, and place LK2-02-1_update.zip in the root of SD card (it should be inside the root folder of the card, not any subfolder). See the screenshot below.
Unmount the SD card in Windows, turn phone off and remove your SIM card just to be safe. Let the SD card remain inserted, and put the device in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Camera + Call End keys. The phone screen should look like this:
Your phone should not be connected with the PC at this time via USB cable. Run Odin as administrator, and load the extracted i5700_LK2-02_PDA.tar file as PDA in Odin. Load spica_jc3.ops as the OPS file. You may need to click Reset Files once before Odin will clear previous settings. Make sure your selections match the screenshot below.
With your device in Download Mode, attach it to the PC via USB cable. The message box will now show the Added and Detected message, as shown above. If all is set and handset has been detected, click the Start button to begin flashing the new kernel to the device.
Wait for the flash to finish until the following screen appears. The device will reboot during this time and enter recovery mode.
To be safe, wait for the process to finish entirely, which shall be indicated by a 'PASS' replacing the 'RESET' message.
Meanwhile, your phone's screen will be showing the following image.
Use the D-pad to move up and down between options. Select 'Apply any zip from SD' and press OK button. The next screen will show all the zip files present in the root of your SD card. Select the one indicated in the screenshot below, and press OK.
You will be asked for confirmation to install the update. Press the Home button to confirm.
The update will install, delete some files, copy some more, and after about a minute you will see the following screen.
Reboot the device by either clicking OK on Root system now, or press the Home + Back keys together. The device will reboot once more and that's it: you have successfully rooted your Spica. Go to Settings > About Phone on your device and scroll down to verify the new kernel.
You may also run the adb command to verify su status, indicated by the command prompt showing '#' instead of '$' when you access the shell.
With LeshaK's Kernel 2.02, you get the following advantages (as mentioned on the Samdroid forum)
1. Fully rebuilds Spica Linux Kernel from Samsung sources, plus:
– full root in adb (you can use cp etc, not only cat)
– root – su+Superuser
– add Netfilter/iptables (Walldroid, Wifi Tether)
– support ext2/ext3/ext4
– cifs (smb – support windows network shares)
– squashfs (for recovery utils)
2. Recovery
– apply update.zip files (android install/update system)
– samdroid backup – create .tar file (system + data), restore via Odin
– wipe (data, cache, dalvik-cache)
– you can repartition your SD card on 2 partitions FAT32 + ext2
3. Apps2sd based on CyanogenMod apps2sd
– move applications from internal memory to SD card with two partitions (FAT32 + ext2/3/4)
Soon I will come up with a guide on configuring and using apps2sd on Spica. Meanwhile, happy rooting and good luck. Please use this process with care, we are not responsible for bricked devices. Feedback, questions and general comments are greatly appreciated.

Lyrics:First verseThere was a hot time down in Jungle land, That night the whole menagerie; They got together, organized a band, You never heard such melody. The baboon, he made a monkey of himself, He beat the Hippo for a drum, At this the lions all began to roar, And the Hyena cried with fun:ChorusListen to that Jungle band, Jungle band, ain't it grand? Listen to the 'rangoutang, Hear those jingles jingle, jungle, jungle, jingles. Listen to the Chimpanzee, On the key, off the key, Monkey tootsie, wootsies, Dancing hootchie, kootchies. Listen to that Jungle band.Second verseOne love-sick monkey sang a mournful wail, He rolled his eyes up to the moon; Just then the Elephant stepped on hi tail, This made the Monkey change his tune. Mister Giraffe joined in and topped them all, This filled their hearts with jealousy, Then Mister Monkey climbed a tree so tall, Until his voice it reached high ""C.""(Chorus)

As a student there is nothing better than hands on training and that is just what graduate students pursuing careers in cyber security got as they worked alongside Sandia and other prominent experts in a weeklong summer institute sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories at the Livermore, CA, Valley Open Campus.
Cyber Security Technology, Policy, Law, and Planning for an Uncertain Future, all followed up on last year's program. Three mentors led the students through a robust series of high-level talks, discussions and workshops from Aug. 5-10.
Automated Testing of SCADA Protocols
DHS, IAEA Ink Collaboration Pact
Black Hat: Govt. Unplugged
New Tool Shows Security Strength
"Having worked in cyber defense for many years and with multiple federal government customers, Sandia is well-versed in the deep technical questions and tools being developed to counter the cyber terrorism threat," said Susanna Gordon, manager of the systems analytics department in Sandia's computer sciences and information systems center. "We're now developing an interdisciplinary approach to cyber security to complement that technical expertise, hence our decision to include policy, law and planning, as well as technology in this institute."
Participating students included those pursuing advanced studies in computer science, law, public policy and other disciplines. In addition to a strategic planning exercise, students chose one of the following focus areas:
• Assured Sharing: Post-WikiLeaks Era Tensions in National-Security Information Sharing and Safeguarding
• Public-Private Sector Responsibilities and Legal Issues in Our Nation's Cyber Defense
• Trusted Digital Systems Designed with Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
"It was an amazing experience," said James MacAulay, a Syracuse University student who is pursuing graduate degrees in Public Administration and Telecommunications and Network Management. "I came away with some amazing insight and ideas into the subject matter."
Institute organizers hope the experience will help persuade the students to consider careers focused on improving U.S. cyber security, including future employment at or collaboration with Sandia.
"We'd love to have some of the students return to Sandia as employees, so exposing them to our laboratory and to the cyber work we're engaged in was an important objective," Gordon said. "But even beyond that, we generally are interested in helping students to learn about national security and motivating them to look into our nation's defense as a potential career path."

What type of bee suit do you all recommend? Looking for maximim coverage.
What type of bee suit do you all recommend? Looking for maximim coverage.
Ultra Breeze
The best.
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
Max protection = Ultra Breeze.
I use the Ultra Breeze Jacket. You will take one in the pants sometimes but not to bad unless you got evil bees.
I'm sure the Ultra Breeze suits are excellent. I might get one some day.
The first suit I got was at Pigeon Mountain and I am very happy with it. I also bought one this year from H. T. Krantz for my Dad, and he's very happy with it, as well (although I don't know if that was a special order or not. But they are a sponsor of this forum, and might reply to this thread).
Good luck!

Beetrucker "I use the Ultra Breeze Jacket. You will take one in the pants sometimes but not to bad unless you got evil bees"
Same here.Just bought some Rose Cutters gloves at Lowes. Great.
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
Love my Ultrabreeze. I wear it with shorts and socks, no shirt; cool as can be.
My vote is for the Ultrabreeze too. It is a fine piece of equipment. I wear shorts and a light moisture wicking shirt and stay cool on all but the hottest of July days. I don't wear socks and only had one lucky lady hit me in the ankle this year.
I also have the Pigeon Mountain and it has been great, does not have leg zippers, that is one thing that I would add, I have never been stung thru it and have had some pretty pissed off girls after me. For the price you cant beat it.
Bee Adventure
Here's a great product at a good price. Suzie, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. She also has a jacket that will not ride up in the back when you bend over to prevent intrusion into the pants.
Golden Bee Products
The Jacket rocks. I was in a really pissy hive today and did not get stung once. That jacket is thick and they never stung through it. One got in the vail but, no stings. Last week I was squatted over a queen-less hive and one of the girls got me in the ass. Now that still hurts makes me wish I had the suit and not just the jacket. But, that jacket really is great. My neck has not gotten stung in over a week. My hat and vail was causing me tons of stings. The guys at work thought there was something wrong with me because of all the lumps on my neck I was getting all the time. Friend showed me his jacket I ordered one and I am really happy with it. Thanks for the tip Scott this jacket is great.
Ultra breeze are very expensive, we just use the man lake pollinator jackets or honey maker suits, cheap and they seem way more sturdy. Also Sheriff makes a good suit. Those will cost you around 50-125 while ultra breeze are over 200
I have had my UB for over four years now and am very happy with it. I never take the hood off and just slip the jacket over my head. Pretty fast on and off that way.
I don't think you can beat the UB suit, but it's a little pricey.
I have two Vented Suits from Mann Lake and a Vented Jacket from Krantz. All work great!
Mine is a little tight in the stomach because that's were all my fat is. That is also where I got 90% of my stings because my shirts where tight there.
I haven't been stung anywhere since I got the PM suit. I still use a jacket and toss on hood for just peaking. If I'm going to tear into the hives, I get the PM suit and never worry about getting stung.
Good Luck.
Thanks Robbin. That makes me feel a lot better.
I recently got a suit from jawadis super deal for both quality and price. for jawadis order 2 or 3 sizes big. I gave up on trying to communicate with mr. krantz after a few weeks of trying, trying being the key word.

First night
@TheRoyalBallet tonight's Giselle was just the most enchanting, breathtaking and numbingly beautiful thing I've ever seen x #ROHgiselle
— walrushorn (@walrushorn) January 19, 2014
Electrifying #ROHgiselle. Natalia Osipova is clearly a daughter of the air. Her transformation from byouant peasant to spirit was startling.
— Leena Hassan (@leenahassan) January 18, 2014
Wow! Osipova in #ROHgiselle was incredible! Effortless performance and fantastic characterisation! Spellbinding!
— Sarah Lockwood (@slw57) January 18, 2014
I've seen a lot of #ROHGiselle in my 25 years of ballet-going, but Osipova's was the finest I've ever seen - melting grace and very bouncy!
— Jeremy Fielding (@jezfielding) January 18, 2014
FACT: Osipova spins faster than a washing machine on a cotton wash cycle #ROHGiselle
— Vampire Soup (@VampireSoup) January 18, 2014
Valentino and Yuhui totally stole the how in act I, their variation was perfect and charismatic! #ROHGiselle
— Sebastian (@Sebastian_G_A) January 18, 2014

— Leena Hassan (@leenahassan) January 18, 2014
Never heard an audience roar like that! Osipova, Acosta and the corps de ballet were all on perfect form tonight at #ROHGiselle!!!

Perfect corps-de-ballet too, especially in act2: I love these swift and angry Willis. The dark, romantic scenery suits them well #ROHGiselle
— Pink Lady (@impressiondanse) January 19, 2014
Claudia Dean was one fierce Myrtha in today's #ROHgiselle matinee. You wouldn't want to mess with her
— sandra heidecker (@sandraheidecker) January 18, 2014
Giselle runs from 18 January-10 February 2014. A small number of tickets are still available. The ballet will be broadcast live to cinemas worldwide on 27 January 2014. Find your nearest cinema.

The Disney Store at the mall is like a mini version of the Anaheim theme park. You can pick up Toy Store pajamas or princess slippers.
The stuffed animal is so diverse, even adults may be tempted to add to their collection of Disney goodies.
Now, Disney is planning a new store design to be unveiled this summer that includes a Disney princess castle with magic mirror and a new Disney Store theater.
The first will open in June at the Shops at Montebello just outside of Los Angeles but before year's end, Disney plans to open the new store design at Union Square in San Francisco.
More than 20 new and remodeled Disney store locations will open throughout North American and Europe according to a Disney Store news release issued Wednesday.
Other California locations include Santa Monica Place and Union Square in San Francisco.

I just thought I'll post my finding so we can discuss what the best possible salary cap for the league. I based my research on the main skills of players, as IMO with the sim secondary skill have very minimal impact on performance. I think this has been shown by the fact that the three players with the highest main skills are dominating the league; Goughy, Kennett and Hoy. As well as the keepers who have considerable gap in their main skills then outfield players.
I have also include the overall stats, in the excel sheet, for those who do consider secondary skills to be important. But take in account that team with higher overall stats just show they got more experienced players, as older players had more points to allocate. So if we base our salary cap on overall stats, then all we will be basically doing is spreading experienced players rather then talent.
Top 20 Players (Highest Skill)
Swell - 543 pts
Fury – 509 pts
Central – 493 pts
Western – 476 pts
Power – 472 pts
Stallions – 452 pts
Clearly as you can see there is a massive gap between the squads when it comes to players main skills. For quick reference these are the overall skills (excluding outfield players keeper stats), Swell (790), Fury (773), North (766), West (742), Central (734), Stallions (711).
As you can see Stallions got a pretty raw deal on both counts and Fury and Swell have got a bit of an advantage on both counts as well. A bit of this has to do with player inactivity and changes in stats at the start of the season, but the trends where already there before. Also the numbers might change bit after the camp, but again I don't think the trends will change much.
My suggestion for a salary cap is that we use the main skills of players as their salary rating so to speak. So the salary will be within the 500-520 mark depending on the changes after the camp and improvements in the last quarter. This way teams can still improve slightly, but are also forced to help the struggling teams out. Which should in turn even out the competition.
With player contracts I think it's a good idea so captains know which players they have to re-sign. I think there should be a max of a three year contracts, as three seasons in a league such as this is a long time.
