OK… I have to do this one differently because it just has to lead with Melanie's opening line:
The one who needs rescuing isn't always the one in the tower…
Rapunzel can throw a knife better than any man. She paints beautiful flowering vines on the walls of her plaster houses. She sings so sweetly she can coax even a beast to sleep. But there are two things she is afraid her mother might never allow her to do: learn to read and marry.
Fiercely devoted to Rapunzel, her mother is suspicious of every man who so much as looks at her daughter and warns her that no man can be trusted. After a young village farmer asks for Rapunzel's hand in marriage, Mother decides to move them once again—this time, to the large city of Hagenheim.
The journey proves treacherous, and after being rescued by a knight—Sir Gerek—Rapunzel, in turn, rescues him farther down the road. As a result, Sir Gerek agrees to repay his debt to Rapunzel by teaching her to read. Could there be more to him than his arrogance and desire to marry for riches and position?
As Rapunzel acclimates to life in a new city, she uncovers a mystery that will forever change her life. In this Rapunzel story unlike any other, a world of secrets and treachery are about to be revealed after seventeen years. How will Rapunzel finally take control of her own destiny? And who will prove faithful to a lowly peasant girl with no one to turn to?
OK… now for my thoughts about this fantastic book.
Am I the only one or did anyone else find themself humming the theme from"Tangled" while reading the blurb for this book?
I know the blurb says "like no other" and that is true, but there are definitely bits of it that are reminiscent of Disney's long-haired heroine. And – for me – those little tidbits just added to an already fantastic story!
Speaking of similarities… I LOVE… LOVE LOVE LOVE that Melanie makes her characters enamored with books and reading. Not only is it a wonderful addition to each story, it's so very realistic – especially given that it's usually her female characters who want to learn or have found a way, even though they really shouldn't…
Now we just have to wait until May for her next awesome fairy tale retelling. And I'll tell you a little secret. In February, Melanie is releasing a Regency Intrigue Romance! Exciting!

Do Not Forget Sha Na Na
Simon Reynold's article in Slate on grunge nostalgia is a good read. Especially the idea that grunge was "the last blast of rock as a force at once central in popular culture yet also running counter to mainstream show biz values." I agree. The White Stripes might have come as close to that as anyone … Continue reading Do Not Forget Sha Na Na

I downloaded Façade from the official site. But it seems it doesn't work properly on Windows 7.
How can I run it seamlessly on Windows 7 (32-bit)?
Problem: They stop talking at the beginning of the game. They don't respond anything. Game stuck there. I can move, walk but Grace and Trip don't respond anything.
Maybe it's not about Windows 7. Maybe it's game's bug or something. I googled and see other people who encounter this problem, but I cannot find any solution.

Chapter 13
TK's pov
"What about you and Crazy, you were romacing in the changingroom." I answered back, while their mouths fell open and they left eachother's hand, cause they were embaressed. They lyingly said: "nothing happend between us, I swear." "So why are you guys blushing like newly wedded couples do?" RagSan asked them, which made them even more red and we all were enjoying it very much, except for AK and Crazy, AK was looking at me like he is gonna kill me soon.
End of TK's pov
AK's pov
"Crazy, why aren't you talking to me?" "Cause I don't want to talk to and thanks for helping me." She wanted to go but I held her back and asked, but I allready knew her answer: "what did I do that you are you not talking nicely to me?" "You broke my heart to pieces and I don't want it to break again, cause of you AK." Then she went away with anger(fake). "I know Crazy you aren't angry at me, you are just pretending to be, cause I know you very well." "I know you don't like seeing people in pain and you always hide yours in you, cause you don't know how to express it yourself, but your AK is here na to help you with it!" I thought to myself untill someone said: "kisi ki yaadon mein koya huwa hai humara Jeeju/Bhai(our brother/brother-in-law is lost in someone rememberance)." DiKiFaiHalCut and Anjali said.
End of AK's pov
RK's pov
"I promise you miss attitude, that I will break your attitude and to prove to you, that I'm worthy of your love." I thought to myself, while I was lost in her very beautiful eyes. "Don't look at me like you are going to kiss me just now!" Jazzy said with attitude(fake) and naughtiness. "Oh bro, you are gone!" My cute sister Anjali said naughtilly. "Today isn't my day!" I thought to my self again, everyone was laughing at me, which annoyed and angered me.
End of RK's pov
SK's pov
"My Fizz is looking so cute in her dress, I just want to hold and kiss her." "She is my soulmate, my life, my morning and my night." I said to loudly, cause my brothers, sister, her friends, Fizzo's sisters were laughing their heads of, but she was blushing like hell, which made my day, my heartbeat got faster and faster. "Bro, you are crazier than me." AK said, while he longingly looked at Crazy, which she realised what he meant, but still she ignored him, like she doesn't care about him but she does.
End of SK pov
TiK's pov
"Sinzo, I need to talk to you." "Sorry TiK, I need to prepare something for Malika's birthday, so I can't talk to you." She said. "But I need to tell you or I'm gone!" "Where?" "To America, my father wants me to get married to GG." "Who's GG?" "Her name is Goldie Gupta!" "What you are getting married with Goldie, she hates us!" SwaLak and Ragsan shouted very loudly. "What?" Sinzo and I said together. "Yeah, she hates us, cause of her brother." "You mean Craybaby?" "Yes, she's his sister!" Swaragini said. "Oh fish!" I said
End of his pov
Soon everyone went home, cause they were tired and tomorrow is going to be a special day for Malika. At night AK couldn't sleep, so he went out and went somewhere.
AK and Crazy's scene at night and AK's pov????(as per Jazzy's wish)
I went to Meheswari mansion to meet my love, so I climbed up the pipe, which was near her window, went in and found her sleeping. She looked so beautiful, I didn't want to wake her, but I had to, so I kissed her lips, soon she was kissing me back and then she opened her eyes and said: "what are you doing here?" "I wanted to meet you beautiful." I answered back. "Oh, so now I'm beautiful to you." "You always were Crazy!" I could see the blush on her cheeks, which made me crazy, without saying anything I just kissed her again and she was responding to it after 2 minutes we broke apart, cause of lack of breath. "Why did you kiss me AK?" "Cause I need you baby by my side." I said to her. "Oh really!" She said naughtilly. "I can prove it to you!" I said, while I was looking at her naughtilly. "Then prove it." She said, while she was running and I ran after her, after sometime she fell and pulled me with her on the bed, so that I was on top of her, my hand was on her back giving her a massage and the other one her belly. She was blushing again and I started to kiss her neck softly, she was shocked, but then she kissed my neck as well, soon it was getting wilder and wilder, cause I was kissing her lips again and then we fell asleep.
End of the scene and pov
The next morning
Crazy's pov
"My dream was really hot for me." I thought before I woke up and realised it wasn't a dream, cause next to me was a cute sleeping AK, I got up and kissed him on his cheek and went to the bathroom, but I didn't know that AK was awake and he went in the bathroom too, before I could lock the door. "Can you please get out, cause I need to shower!" "We can shower together my s*xy lady." "Owww!" "Please get out, then you can use the bathroom." "Anything for you my beautiful, but first I want a kiss." So without saying anything I kissed his cheek, his face fell, cause he wanted one on his lips. Then he went out. After few minutes I was finished and saw him sleeping again, so I kissed him again, but this time on his lips. Then he went to the bathroom to shower and I was smiling crazilly for myself.
End of her pov

If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets in life is pity
And a pat
Kindly name a star who hasn't
Won a contest or a pageant
If she hasn't she just never
Gets to bat
She must shine in every detail
Like a ring, you're buying retail
Be a standard size that
Fits a standard dress
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Then to me it doesn't spell
Frumpy faces that could cause ya
To have temporary nausea
Do I have to hear a lecture
Such as that?
Is a nose with deviation
Such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail
Or drown the cat?
So she looks a bit off balance
She possesses golden talents
Or is that a pill too bitter
To digest?
Oh, she's got very nice deportment, hmm
But when they see that at Ortmund's
From the gallery they'll be
Throwing fruit

I will be running the Arisia Bake Sale this year on Saturday, January 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (or whenever we run out of food), to benefit both Con or Bust and the Tiptree Award.
If you're coming to Arisia, please stop by—to buy something, to bring food, or both! All non-refrigerated foods are welcome (particularly those that also suit dietary restrictions). If you are thinking of bringing something, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop a line to firstname.lastname@example.com (or comment here). You can also drop food off ahead of time at the Arisia Team HQ (Quincy), if you won't be around Saturday morning.
Let me know if you have any questions, and hope to see you there!

Prolactinoma Treatment
Medications, surgery, and radiation therapy are some of the treatment options used for prolactinoma. Bromocriptine and cabergoline are two of the drugs most commonly used for this condition. Surgery may be used to remove the pituitary tumor if drug therapy is not successful. Sometimes, radiation therapy is used in conjunction with other forms of treatment if drug therapy alone is not producing the desired results.
The goals of prolactinoma treatment are to:
- Return prolactin secretion to normal
- Reduce tumor size
- Correct any vision problems
- Restore normal pituitary function.
In the case of very large tumors, only partial achievement of these goals may be possible.
Treatment options for prolactinoma can include:
- Medications
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy.
Because dopamine is the chemical that normally inhibits prolactin secretion, doctors may treat prolactinoma with bromocriptine or cabergoline, which are drugs that act like dopamine. This type of drug is called a dopamine agonist. These drugs shrink the tumor and return prolactin levels to normal in approximately 80 percent of patients.
Both medicines have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for this condition. Bromocriptine is the only dopamine agonist approved for the treatment of infertility, which is one of the common prolactinoma symptoms. Another dopamine agonist, pergolide, is available in the United States, but it is not approved for the treatment of prolactinoma.

Little bit of history
The head of the island is Elizabeth ll, who holds the title of Lord of Mann, and although the island is not a part of the United Kingdom its foreign relations and defence are the responsibility of the UK Government. Rising water levels cut off the Isle of Man from the surrounding islands around 8000 BC and evidence suggests that colonisation of the Isle took place by sea sometime before 6500 BC. The first residents lived in small natural shelters, hunting, fishing and gathering for their food and some of the artefacts that they used are kept at the Manx Museum.

Romania or The Republic of Romania is located in Southeastern Europe. Romania borders the Black Sea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Moldova. Bucharest is the capital of Romania and the sixth largest city in the European Union. Romania offers both natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy wide unspoiled countryside areas, historic cities and mountain landscapes. In the last 10 years, Romania experienced significant development in virtually all fields, including economy, culture and healthcare.
Romania continuously improved its medical infrastructure in the last years. Many private hospitals and medical centres were also opened recently by international health groups. Romanian physicians and medical staff in general have extensive experience in the field. In recent years, Romania became a favourite destination for international patients. Dental clinics offer excellent quality at very affordable prices – international patients can save up to 85% for dental work in Romania. Every year, around 250.000 international patients visit Romania for medical reasons – most of the patients come from Germany, Italy, Israel and the United Kingdom. This figure is expected to double in the next years. Medical clinics from Transylvania and Bucharest are the most popular destinations in Romania.
Peles Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle located deep in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia. It was built and expanded between 1873 and 1914.
Bran Castle, near Brasov is one of Romania's most popular landmarks. The fortress is commonly known as "Dracula's Castle".
The Danube Delta is the second largest river delta in Europe. It's also the best preserved river delta on the continent. This is an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sibiu is one of the most important cultural centres of Romania. The city became an European Capital of Culture in 2007, along with Luxembourg. Forbes ranked Sibiu as Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live.
The Turda Salt Mine is located close to the city of Cluj. Business Insider ranked the salt mine as "the most beautiful underground place in the world". The Turda Salt Mine is also ranked as the 22th most spectacular tourist destinations in the world.
The Merry Cemetery from Maramures is famous for its colourful tombstones ornate with paintings and poems. This is the only merry cemetery in the world.
● Romania has both temperate and continental climate. Summers are hot with rare rainfall and winters can be quite cold with ample amounts of precipitations.
● Romania's main airport is the Henri Coanda (Otopeni) Airport. This is the largest and busiest airport in Romania, with direct flights to all major cities in Europe and a few Middle Eastern capitals. Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Sibiu and Bacau also have airports with direct flights to European countries.
● The official language in Romania is Romanian, a Romance Language. English, German, Hungarian and French are also common.
● Romania uses the Leu (RON) as currency. Although it's more affordable than destinations in Western Europe, Romania is not a cheap destination. Transport, food and drink are generally quite affordable while rent can be a bit more expensive, especially in bigger cities.
● Romania uses the 230V, 50Gz electrical system fitted with European style plugs. Four and five star hotels usually provide visitors with adapters for American or British style plugs.

With the mountain backdrop and misty skies, it was as if the ancestors of the new Teeiao Mataipo Tutara Willie Kauvai were giving their approval of the first investiture of the title in decades.
More than two hundred people surrounded Taumata-Ki-Avaiki Marae to watch Kauvai's investiture ceremony, which was a rich display of cultural pride.
Kauvai was guarded by his four Rangatira, Unuunu Ariki Rangatira, Tinorua Rangatira, Taarua Tupangaia Rangatira and Mokoroa Rangatira.
During the ceremony Kauvai was adorned in traditional dress and ate the ear of a pig, the last step in the investiture ceremony.
His wife, Mii Kauvai, said it was a beautiful ceremony and it was only fitting that the title was passed on to the next generation.
Kauvai's uncle Te Pui Ariki held the title and passed away more than 20 years ago. The title has been in the family line for over 100 years, adding to the significance of the ceremony.

Fencing for recognition: Sword fight your way to the executive table
Normally, I'd take a pass on commenting on a report like the one EDS recently published entitled "CIO at the Table." But today I feel like this could be a useful read for you, my midmarket CIOs.
As with most of the reports I come across, there isn't anything entirely earthshaking or world changing about this. The main thrust of the article is about including CIOs at the decision-making table at any given company.
"In either case, technology isn't something you can ignore in the 21st century. No matter what your industry, IT is at the center of the action… Yet many organizations continue to misstep, not quite understanding the role of the CIO, the part that IT technicians should play in daily operations, how to make investment decisions, set sequence and priority, or even the best way to capitalize on the latest innovations to expand and change the products and services they are taking to market … What most senior leaders fail to grasp along the way is that making IT work has as much to do with business as it does with technology itself … But you have to do more than invest in good infrastructure and applications. You have to integrate and align IT with the enterprise's overarching goals."
I just went ahead and grabbed the most salient points of the article. But, by all means, you should read the whole report, even though it's aimed more directly at your CEO than it is at you.
It does, however, provide some insight into the way your boss is trying to wrap his or her mind around what you do on a daily basis and why a good CIO is vital to the company.
Maybe I should say the way your CEO isn't thinking about your job. EDS suggests an expanded role for the CIO with a more strategic vision for the whole company and IT governance in general. It's a decent argument and could provide a few thrusts and ripostes for your next performance review.

What To Say When Some Damn Fool Asks 'Beatles or Stones?'
January 24, 2010 By JF
Our leading export to the rest of the world continues to be Lame American Guys. And one thing that certain LAGs enjoy is asking ridiculous questions such as this.
In a 2004 interview with GQ magazine, Candidate John Kerry was asked this very question. And shocking as it may seem, JK could not give a direct answer. I'm not saying it cost him the election, but it did help prove that as a candidate the good senator was Clark Kent without a phone booth.
But I'm not hear to beat up on John Kerry. I'm here to help you handle the triflin' fool who would dare impose such heretical inquiry. Those unimaginative LAGs who would perpetrate this classic-rock-Sophie's Choice and make you choose sides. How's a real lover of music like you supposed to answer a question like this while still resisting the urge to smack the Philistine who would have you pronounce "who's better?"
Easy. Here's your reply.
"Beatles Studio. Stones Live."
Trust me. It happens to be the truth, you get to have it both ways, and it shows that you know what you're talking about. It also helps stimulate good conversation on those 600 different official live versions of "Satisfaction.".
The Beatles ceased touring well before they stopped recording albums, while the Stones continue to be a terrific live act years after having abandoned any kind of consistent studio work.
By the way – my vote for best Live Stones record? The critics will say 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out,' but let me recommend the semi-live Stripped, from 1995.
There really is no great live Beatles record, but unlike The Stones, they never released a weak studio album.
However, if you have the time and want to collect some great live Beatles tracks, go for the following solo albums to begin your collection.
John – Live in New York City, Live Peace In Toronto, and the live tracks he did with Elton that appear on the Lennon Box Set. It's the only time he ever did 'Lucy In The Sky' live, and their cover of Paul's 'I Saw Her Standing There' is a marvel.
Paul – MTV Unplugged, The Official Bootleg, Tripping The Live Fantastic, and don't be afraid of Wings over America.
George – You should already own 'Concert for Bangla-Desh.' But treat yourself to 'Live In Japan,' the 2-disc document of his final (and only post-70s) tour, a monthlong run that featured Clapton & his band as sublime backup. And if enough people buy it, perhaps Olivia will finally release a DVD.
Ringo – VH1 Storytellers. Actually rather charming.
There are enough classic Beatle tracks covered live on the above records to create the live concert file your itunes needs.
Most of my favorite Live Beatles tracks are still bootlegged. And I can't recommend those. That would be wrong.

We are loving being back in Alabama and living so close to our family! Unless we move (which we have zero intentions of doing) our kids will attend and graduate from the same school as their daddy. I graduated from a neighboring high school. They recently just built a super nice new football stadium for the high school so they are about to tear down the old one.
Shannon and I wanted to take some pictures of the kids there before they tear it down. Harper and Henley attend the same school and their daddy graduated from their too.
Trying to do the math to figure out when they will all graduate made me feel realllly old! ;)
I can totally see us taking these pictures every few years to see how much they've all grown and changed!
One of my favorite pictures of me and MK. She is such a great, happy baby!
Graham was over the pictures at this point.
So much fun that these two will be starting school together in the fall!
Crazy crew!
Love these kiddos so much!

Data Driven Cities: San Francisco saving cyclists' lives
Publicado por Esteve Almirall el Dom, 09/04/2017 - 11:31
Also published on www.estevealmirall.com
Cyclist die in our cities trying to circumvent too much traffic and survive hostile streets. Yes, cyclist die and they die too often. At the end of August this was the case of Michael Schenkman, 78, an avid and popular New York cyclist that also taught driver's education for several years. He knew how to sort the dangerous and busy streets of New York. But nevertheless, he died stroked by a black Chevrolet that dragged him 25 feet.
I have been cycling through the streets of Barcelona for the last 15+ years. Barcelona is as dangerous as New York for cyclists. In the last years separated lanes for cyclist have been built, but none on the sidewalks, which obviously limits adoption. When you cycle often through cities you are very aware of the risk, you know that no matter what you do, a car or a motorbike can hit you and you will die or end up seriously injured. For the sake of the example, in New York, Schenkman's death was the fifteenth until August. A pretty bad record.
However, even if this happens and happens too often, even knowing how to address it. Most of the times, nothing gets done, beyond regretting the causality.
These days San Francisco is putting in place a new program that addresses this problem: SF Vision Zero. In San Francisco, where cycling is pretty popular, about 30 cyclist die every year and 200 result seriously injured.
What is particularly interesting however, is not the program itself but how it was put together, because this was a Data Driven initiative.
San Francisco started creating TransBase , a platform to map and visualize traffic incidents. And for analyzing this information, they created another application: the High Injury Network where the hottest points were highlighted.
As often happens, data analysis discovered that 70% of major injuries happened in a mere 12% of the intersections of the city. One more version of the 20/80 rule. Therefore, the problem was solvable and tractable without committing an excessive amount of resources.
This was the starting point for Mayor Lee's Vision Zero program. A commitment to reduce to zero collision deaths of bikes and pedestrians by 2024.
We all know that an Executive Directive neither in San Francisco nor in Europe means much, even an ambitious one, if there is not a plan and a budget behind to implement it. However, this time it was: Protected Intersection (http://www.protectedintersection.com).
The plan borrows ideas from Dutch and other European cities to design cycle friendly junctions trying to increase the visibility of cyclists and creating safer areas for them.
However, beyond the plan what is important is the fact that policy implementation includes the use of the massive data available and its analysis to guide this implementation.
We often encounter that complex policies are driven by pre-conceived ideas on how things work and how they will work. This was probably the only possibility in a world where data was scarce, however we don't live any longer in this world. Now data is abundant and policy too has to take advantage of this abundance. We need data driven policies.

Gosh, and that has put us, parents to work. And we have come up with a few options the little one can choose from… btw I never realised that India has some amazing picturesque places and it was tough to bring it down to this number.
Fondly known as the Queen of Hills, Shimla with its gorgeous landscape, colonial architecture, historical sites and also hotels in Shimla are well-maintained hotels which makes it a preferred getaway for everyone. The enjoyable weather throughout the year draws tourists to the hill station, especially during the winters when the city is covered in layers of snow. Famous for its Mall road, the Ridge, and the Toy Train, Shimla must be on everyone's travel wish list.
Named after Lord Dalhousie, Dalhousie with its mesmerizing beauty and old world charm boasts of beautiful snow-capped mountain ranges, Victorian-style mansions and Scottish architecture. With the weather remaining a bit on the cooler side, everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of the place while sipping some traditional ginger tea. A trip to Dalhousie will be incomplete without the Chamba Valley tour, a boat ride at Chamera Lake and a visit to the Rang Mahal.
A beautiful, simple yet alluring destination nested in the cynosure of a mountain and the sky, Gangtok is a mesmerizing prismatic place to visit. Famous for the spectacular view of the majestic Mt. Kanchenjunga, Gangtok is more breathtaking from a cable car that runs across the length of the city. Every corner of Gangtok offers natural experiences including white water rafting in Teesta, trekking to the Nathula pass and stunning views of the Hanuman Tok.
It sure is going to be a difficult pick for us, but we are looking forward to exploring the winter destinations in India over the next few holidays and make the most of our travels.
Until next time,
- Heena

Must try
The signature dish is the paella - calasparra rice, saffron from La Mancha, seafood including Cloudy Bay clams and chicken. YUM! Or if you are not into seafood, try the 'cordero asado' – slow roasted spring lamb shoulder.

Hey all,
We just got a new Dragon the other day from good ol PetSmart. Trying to figure out what kind it is. They had him/her listed as a Red. We've tried a ton of searches to try and find something that looks close but can't really nail is down. Some really cool markings and colors.
A little on him. 7 1/2 inches long, 11 grams.
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

There are rumors that T-Mobile may make a CES announcement next week offering to pay ETFs to get you to switch to them. In what appears to be a preemptive strike, AT&T announced they are offering up to $450 in offers per line to T-Mobile customers to switch to AT&T.
The $450 offer comes in the form of a $250 promotional card for AT&T products and services and another $200 if you choose AT&T's double-dipping Next service, buy a device at full retail price, or activate a device you own.
The offer seems to be of value at first, but I only pay $130 a month for five phones on T-Mobile and for about the same level of service it would cost me at least $195 per month (assuming the lower cost no annual contract option). For those like me who get solid T-Mobile coverage, there is no savings in switching to AT&T.
It's great to see T-Mobile shaking up the US wireless space and forcing other carriers to start thinking outside the box. If you are not satisfied with T-Mobile's coverage and service, then this could be the catalyst you need to switch to AT&T.

Since we now have a common handler layer as described in Database abstraction with google apps script, it's just a small step to expose that as an API through a Google Apps Script API. This means that anything that can do POST or GET can access any database for which we have created a driver. An example use might be writing to a Google Sheet directly from Excel, or a javascript App that needs access to scriptDB (scriptDB API for JavaScript already does this of course, but it is scriptDB specific).
This section is largely superseded by JSON API for data abstraction classes and VBA API using the Google Apps Script dbab library, but the library discussed below is used by both of these
As a web app, you would access via a POST or a GET, with parameters specified either as url parameters, in the post body of your request, or a mix of both. For example
This API uses another library, through which you can access the DataHandlerRest class.
Setting it up
Almost everything you need is already in the DataHandlerRest class, but you'll need to set up your own version of the web app, so that you can access your own sheets, credentials and databases as yourself. Here's what you need to do.
This is the type of response you will get from the API. Note that if you specify the callback parameter, JSONP will be returned, otherwise you'll get plain JSON.

More than a hundred species of birds have been documented at Aldridge Gardens, where free guided bird walks are available to members the third Saturday of each month, April through November.
Grab your binoculars because you never know what you might see at Aldridge Gardens, which for the fifth year is offering guided bird walks under the guidance of Richard and Patricia Ryel.
Scheduled for the third Saturday of the month, April through November, the free walks are 8-10 a.m. and available to garden members only. Memberships are available at aldridgegardens.com or at the gardens at 3530 Lorna Road, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Walk groups are limited to 15, and members must register in advance by calling 682-8019.
According to Richard Ryel, there have been 102 species of birds identified in the Gardens, and the number is expected to increase.
"This is certainly a testament to these 30 acres of native vegetation as an excellent birding site," Richard Ryel said. "The number of bird species identified during the bird walks over the past four years averages between 25 to 30."
Located on 30 acres in the heart of Hoover that includes a 5-acre lake, Aldridge Gardens contains the three essential ingredients to support a thriving bird population: food, water and secure areas for nesting and raising young, Richard Lyel said.
"The phenomenon of bird migration occurs primarily for two reasons: to ensure adequate food resources and reproduction, and is generally due to seasonal climate change and day length," he said. "Aldridge Gardens is an oasis in a desert of asphalt and rooftops for transient birds to stop and refuel."

Stop 3 Pierhead, Liverpool
Lowry makes several references to the Pierhead and the Liver Buildings in his work. Also the setting for a whole chapter in forthcoming publication of previously unpublished novel In Ballast to the White Sea (October 2014).
|Pier Head Liverpool Circa 1930s
The Liver Building is topped by the Liver Birds which have become symbols for the city. I am sure that Lowry would have appreciated that irony, with his love of birds, that the mythical Liver Birds are based on the cormorant, which is a symbol of deception and greed - a fitting symbol for Lowry's "terrible city whose main street is the ocean" 'Forest Path to the Spring' (Hear Us O Lord etc pg 226)
The Consul recalls the Liver Buildings in Under The Volcano when he returns to Liverpool aboard his Q-ship Samaritan during WW1; "How strange the landing at Liverpool, the Liver Building seen once more through the misty rain, that murk smelling already of nosebags and Caegwyrle Ale.." (Pg. 135).
|Shanghai 1927
Lowry refers to Chinese participation in WW1 in his first novel Ultramarine - the Chinese Labour Corps; "We'll put you in the Chinese Labour Corps. The order of the rising sun - tee hee! - for promiscuous gallantry." (See Chinese Labour Corps)

Falls in labourers' eyes at sunset. Then
She's launched! Her iron sides strain as merchants gaze;
A cheer swoops down into titanic ways.
Lowry referencing Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead.
Lowry writes a poem in 1940 entitled 'Epitaph On Our Gardener, Dead Near Liverpool' when he hears of the death of his old friend - George Cooke - the gardener to the Lowry family who lived in Caldy, Wirral.
Lowry makes reference to the bombing and war on Merseyside;
.....Good folk of Wirral,
Empty the sky one instant of evil.....
Let hatred pause a moment. Rest your gun
Against this stone in heart......... (Collected Poems 210.3)
Continuing with theme that Lowry may have felt guilty about being cut off from his family who were threatened by war? (See Bowker Pgs 270-298) for details of early WW2 "exile" in Canada and relations with his family and possible enlistment in British and Canadian armies) - see poems below written in Vancouver circa 1940
The Prodigal speaks:
I have no forgiveness in my soul
And I want to get out of this hell hole (Collected Poems 209.1)
Read 'Draft Board' 1940-45 :
Back broad and straight from crop to hocks.......
Add 25 counts of progeny
See you in Liverpool (Collected Poems 203.3)
Read 'Dream of Departing Soldier'
Good bye, old comrade, of your death I pray
It proves sweet marjoram nor turn caraway. (Collected Poems 204.2)
Read 'Deserter'
In a refrigerator car at Empress,
Then, lying on bare boards in a small room,
Dead...'Should be in England?' 'Home for Christmas?' (Collected Poems 155.13)
Above poem probably based on yet to be identified newspaper article read by Lowry circa Winter 1939 - probably expresses his feeling that he would not fight/desert if forced to enlist - uses irony of over optimistic prediction that war would be over by Christmas which many thought in WW1. Lowry may also be refering to political situation within Canada in 1939 with regards to conscription (Read more about conscription in Canada in WW2)

They could go through a process to get a Colorado judge to issue a subpoena but they didn't because SparkFun gave up the fight without forcing them to do so. There are also other numerous grounds for fighting this subpoena but, again, SparkFun didn't really fight those issues either. A good lawyer would have fought this subpoena if his client was willing to pay to fight it but obviously SparkFun chose to save money and give in. Either way, a Georgia court, by itself, has zero authority in Colorado. At a minimum, they should have forced Georgia to get a proper Colorado subpoena.
I appreciate you protecting our information but realize that since you are located in Colorado you are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Georgia Court so they can't force you to give them information anyway.
I have never played angry birds but I love this awesome project. Please keep projects like this coming. It is very inspirational to see such ingenuity and creativity at work. Amazing.
Really?!? A plaid hat and hoodie on our annual Viking Scientist Day? Does that guy have any pride in himself at all?
Why isn't this functionality built into the Arduino boards already? All these shields are great for prototyping but if you want to build something really small with even basic functionality forget about it. Unless you can design and build your own surface mount boards (which most of us tinkerers can't do) you are stuck with giant projects. The functions of this board really ought to be standard on even the smallest Arduinos.
It is too bad no quads. They seem to be the best possible vehicle for this competition. The short distance and precise movement involved screams for quads. Airplanes would certainly be better if long distances were involved but that is not the case here. Wouldn't the quads be safe if they had protection over the blades? Maybe some type of ducted fan setup would be safe?
Free day sucks. I couldn't get in at all and even my comments are having trouble posting. This is really a bad way to treat customers if you ask me.
Free day sucks. After clicking the quiz I waited for hours and it never came up. I didn't even get to the first question. This is a bad way to treat customers if you ask me.

As gardens move north, the most striking change is in the numbers of broad-leaf evergreens that will grow, since so many are damaged by low winter temperatures. Boxwood was brought to America by the early settlers, but the plant was found to not be very hardy, and it was only with the much later introduction of boxwood species from the Far East that hardy forms became available for cold gardens. Winter Gem Korean Boxwood is perhaps the best of those hardy forms, and is the ideal way to build a boxwood hedge, or have clipped boxwood balls, if you live in colder places.
Growing Winter Gem Korean Boxwoods
Winter Gem Korean Boxwood is an evergreen shrub with small, glossy, rich-green leaves. It grows naturally into a mound up to 5 feet tall and 3 or 4 feet across, but it is easily clipped and is mostly seen in gardens as a clipped hedge. The more it is clipped, the denser and more compact it becomes, so that beautiful hedges anything from 12 inches to 4 feet tall can be created.
These are perfect for edging beds and giving structure to your garden. They are usually used in a formal way, in straight lines, but creative gardeners also plant circles, curves and other patterns. Features like balls and small pyramids, and even cubes, can also be formed in a short time, making this a versatile plant for all kinds of gardens. For the busier gardener, unclipped boxwood naturally grow into interesting dense, rounded shrubs that are perfect for background planting to compliment more showy plants.
The most valuable feature of Winter Gem Korean Boxwood is its relative hardiness. Winters reaching minus 20 degrees do not bother it, and with a little protection it will tolerate even colder conditions. Only in the far north-east and north-central states will growth be limited by winter cold. Everywhere else, from Florida to the Great Lakes and all through the west, now you can enjoy the calm beauty of boxwood hedges and clipped specimens using this great plant.
Soil Conditions and Sun Exposure
The other great thing about Winter Gem Korean Boxwood is its versatility in different light levels and soils. It will grow well in all light levels from full sun to light full shade. Although it will even grow in deep full shade, the growth will be slower and the plants less dense. The shade from deciduous trees is easily tolerated, that from evergreens less so.
As for soil, any well-drained garden soil, from sand to clay, will suit this plant just fine. Some organic material mixed into the planting soil is always appreciated, and a mulch over the roots in late fall, especially in the coldest areas, is a good idea too. In the early few years, regular watering and fertilizing will help your plants become well-established and grow rapidly into the dense hedge you are looking for. After that they are unaffected by normal summer dryness, and only need fertilizer if the leaves lose their rich green color.
Using as a Hedge
For a hedge, place your plants 12 to 24 inches apart, using the wider spacer for taller hedges. For a hedge under 12 inches tall, space the plants 8 inches apart. Begin to clip your boxwood almost as soon as it is planted, trimming lightly and regularly to encourage dense growth. One of the good things about Winter Gem is its natural dense growth, creating a good hedge even with light clipping. Do not clip after early fall in colder areas, and do not clip during the winter – wait until warmer weather arrives.
History and Origins of the Winter Gem Korean Boxwood
The Korean boxwood, Buxus sinica, is a native of China and Korea. It has been grown in Korean, Japanese and Chinese gardens for centuries, loved for its compact form. It quickly became popular in the Northeast of the USA when gardeners there discovered that the English Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) was not very hardy and suffers in the winter anywhere colder than zone 6. The much more hardy Korean boxwood becoming very popular for that reason, and nurseries have developed even hardier forms over time.
Korean boxwood is also hardier, and smaller growing, compared to the Japanese Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. japonica). 'Winter Gem' is a selected form of the Korean Boxwood whose exact origins have been lost. Its new growth is light green, but matures into a rich, glossy green that always looks attractive at every season.
Adding Winter Gem Boxwoods to Your Property
The Winter Gem Korean Boxwood is a very useful garden plant, whether clipped into a hedge, as specimens, or left to grow naturally. It is always a popular variety with knowledgeable gardeners, so we know that our stocks will not last long. Order now and you will soon be enjoying this top boxwood for the coldest places. Make sure to avoid seedling forms or other unnamed varieties, which may be cheaper but will always be very much inferior to the real thing.

The jury has spoken! If you haven't heard, a lawsuit recently found Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams guilty of copyright infringement, as their hit song "Blurred Lines" has proven to be too similar in composition to Marvin Gaye's classic 1977 song "Got To Give It Up".
The results of this lawsuit sparked interest in the music world, of course because of the popularity of each song, but also because there are believers that Thicke and Williams aren't guilty of any wrongdoing. They've argued that the similarities between the songs are on a R&B genre and style level, not on a composition level—but the jury thinks otherwise.
Thicke and Williams have to pay $7.4M to the Gaye family as a result of the lawsuit. But now, the Gayes also want a federal judge to prohibit all future sales, distribution and performances of "Blurred Lines".
Marvin Gaye's children, Nona, Frankie, and Marvin III, published an open letter explaining their reasoning. It's a very interesting read in terms of understanding what happened with the lawsuit, since Thicke and Williams were actually the ones who brought the Gaye family to court.
The open letter has heavy meaning in terms of creating music in the future. If the results of this lawsuit will be applied to all future music creation, then musicians who try to emulate a style connected to a certain genre or time period will be in trouble. Take reggae for example—almost all reggae songs use similar stylistic elements and lyrics that fit them into the reggae genre. The Sleng Teng Riddim, for example, has been used at least 380 times in different songs.

Language: English
Marian Cieślak (1950 – 2016) became one of the few researchers in Europe to commence with scientific study of bird feathers, and most especially – the feathers of birds of prey and owls. This resulted in the first guide to feathers published in Polish (in 1999). Presented there were baseline details on how to identify the feathers of selected bird species enjoying legal protection (mainly birds of prey and owls). In his publications, Marian Cieślak noted repeatedly how the identification of bird feathers was one of the least-developed areas of applied ornithology – and all the more so when set against, for example, flight identification, or the identification of calls, nests and eggs. This was therefore the inspiration for further research into feathers resulting in the release of another book – Feathers: Identification for Bird Conservation (Cieślak and Dul 2006); which was published in both Polish and English. In the years that followed, the research focus homed in on the ecology of owls, and in particular the relationship between biology, plumage and the moulting process.
Feathers of European Owls fills many gaps in current knowledge of owl feathers. The author not only describes the identification of feathers of the European owl species, but also presents relationships between feather morphology and the behaviour and ecology of this group of birds. These findings are largely based on the Author's original research, and his extensive collection of feathers.

Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 13, 1981), better known in the boxing world as Joe Louis, and nicknamed the Brown Bomber, is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxing champions of all time. He held the heavyweight title for over 11 years and made 25 successful heavyweight title defenses, a record that currently still stands. In the years preceding World War II and the rise of the racist German Nazi regime, Louis, like Olympic athlete Jesse Owens, became a popular American hero for both black and white America. His athleticism and the probity of his life earned wide respect and helped bridge the color barrier in American sports, leading, in 1949, to Jackie Robinson's historic signing by baseball's Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 2003, Ring Magazine rated Joe Louis No. 1 on the list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. In 2005, Louis was named the greatest heavyweight of all time by the International Boxing Research Organization.[1]
Born in Lafayette, Alabama, the seventh of eight children, Joe Barrow Louis was the grandson of slaves and one quarter Cherokee Native American. His father, Barry Barrow, was a sharecropper, and when Louis was only two years old, his father was committed to an asylum, where he would die just two years later. His mother remarried a widower who brought an additional eight children to the household, and when Joe was seven, the family moved to Detroit. In his teens, he worked for an ice company and would later credit lifting the heavy blocks of ice with helping build his arm and upper body strength. It was during this time that he first became interested in boxing.
Uninterested in school, Joe discovered Brewster's East Side Gymnasium, first establishing his love for boxing. In order to keep his mother from finding out, he changed his name to Joe Louis, but to no avail, as his mother would later discover the new pastime.
Louis had a successful amateur career, winning 50 of 54 bouts and winning Michigan's Golden Gloves title. He soon came to the attention of John Roxborough, one of the local gambling kingpins, who, with Julian Black, a speakeasy owner who also ran numbers, convinced Louis to turn pro. Louis made his debut on July 4, 1934, knocking out Jack Kracken in the first round in Chicago, Illinois. He won 12 fights that year, all in Chicago, 10 by knockout. Originally, Joe's trainer, Jack Blackburn, wanted him to only fight other African-American boxers, but Louis decided to fight white boxers as well.
In 1935, Louis fought 13 times, creating a sensation. He knocked out former world heavyweight champion Primo Carnera in six rounds, then knocked out the iron-chinned former heavyweight champion Max Baer in four rounds. Before losing to Louis, Baer had been knocked down only once, by Frankie Campbell. Louis also knocked out Paolino Uzcudun, who had never been knocked down or out before the Louis fight.
Louis married Marva Trotter two hours before his fight with Baer in September 1935. He then completed the fight and had the marriage celebration the same night. Trotter would divorce Louis in 1945, remarry him in 1946, and then divorce him once again in 1949.
In his next fight, he was matched with former world heavyweight champion Max Schmeling. Although not considered a threat by Louis, the German had studied Louis' style intently, and believed he had found a weakness. By exploiting Louis' habit of dropping his left low after a jab, Schmeling handed Louis his first loss by knocking him out in round 12 in New York.
Despite the loss, Louis was awarded a title shot by champion James J. Braddock after negotiations with Madison Square Garden's number one contender, Max Schmeling, broke down. Braddock, looking to retire on a large payoff, was promised a more lucrative fight with the Brown Bomber after Louis bounced back up the pecking order by knocking out former champion Jack Sharkey.
Schmeling and the Nazi government were furious, insisting that a win over highly ranked Sharkey did not reverse the Louis defeat by Schmeling, which was considered a title eliminator. The matter was settled in court, and Madison Square Garden and Schmeling lost. The fight was staged in Chicago, and despite a knock down in round 1, Louis defeated the plucky "Cinderella Man" by knock out in round 8. On June 22, 1937, Joe Louis became heavyweight champion of the world.
One year to the day after Louis was defeated by Schmeling, a rematched was arranged. The bout is considered among the most meaningful in history, not because of the ramifications as related to boxing, but because of the political and racial overtones of the black American facing off against the white German Nazi champion.
Prior to the fight, Hitler purportedly sent a message to Schmeling warning him that he was fighting not only for the title, but for the Third Reich as well. In the ring, Louis knocked down Schmeling three times in front of 70,000 people at Yankee Stadium before knocking him out in only a little over two minutes.
From December 1940 to March 1942, Louis defended his title ten times, a frequency unmatched by any heavyweight champion since the end of the bare knuckle era. His frequent fights against every challenger, and his convincing wins, earned his opponents the sarcastic nickname "Bum of the Month."
In all, Louis made 25 defenses of his heavyweight title from 1937 to 1949, holding the heavyweight title for 11 years and 10 months. Louis set records for all divisions in number of defenses and uninterrupted longevity as world champion, records which still stand. His most remarkable boxing achievement is knocking out 23 opponents in 27 title fights.
Other notable title defenses were:
Louis served in the Army from 1942 to 1945, fighting nearly 100 exhibition fights and spending that period traveling throughout Europe visiting with the troops. Louis donated his winnings from a January 1942 fight with Buddy Baer to the Naval Relief fund. In similar fashion, he donated his winnings from a fight with Abe Simon to the Army Relief fund. In that same year, Louis enlisted as a private in the Army, earning $21 a month. Louis served with future baseball great Jackie Robinson, who would later credit Louis with helping blacks in what was then a segregated army. Louis served for nearly four years in the Armed Forces and would retire as a sergeant with a Legion of Merit decoration.
The army banned Louis from title fights while in the service, thus Louis' rematch with Conn was a comeback fight in which he knocked him out in the eighth round. Louis would go on to win three more fights, including two fights with Jersey Joe Walcott. In the first fight, Walcott scored two knockdowns over Louis but lost a disputed decision. In the second fight, Walcott again knocked Louis down, but the aging Louis came on to knock out Walcott in the 11th round.
On March 1, 1949, Louis announced his retirement, seemingly realizing that he was not the fighter that he once was. Then in 1950, in financial trouble, he announced a comeback, losing a 15-round unanimous decision to world champion Ezzard Charles, who had won the vacant title after Louis' retirement. More overweight now than heavyweight, and much slower than he had been in his prime, Louis kept boxing, but at a level far below that of his championship days. In 1951, Louis lost by a knockout in eight rounds to the future world heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. He then retired from boxing with a record of 69 wins and 3 losses, with an amazing 55 of those wins coming by knockout.
During his later years, Louis invested in numerous different businesses, including the Joe Louis Insurance Company, a softball team named the Brown Bombers, the Joe Louis Restaurant, Joe Louis Punch, a horse farm, the Louis-Rower P.R. Firm, and more. Although he had so many different business ventures, Louis would not find success in any of them.
In total, Louis' fights earned him nearly $5 million. However, the IRS would demand $1.2 million in back taxes, interest, and penalties. In an attempt to recover from financial losses, Louis briefly turned to professional wrestling in 1956.
Louis remained a popular celebrity in his twilight years. In 1955, Louis married Rose Morgan and three years later he divorced her and married Martha Jefferson, who, in 1959, became the first black woman to practice law in Los Angeles. He also adopted four children in this marriage, in addition to two from his marriage with Trotter. A few years after his retirement, a movie about his life, The Joe Louis Story, was filmed in Hollywood. Because of Louis' financial hardships, an old army buddy, Ash Resnick, gave him a job welcoming tourists at Caesar's Palace hotel in Las Vegas, where Resnick was an executive.
Louis' health began to deteriorate, and he had two operations paid for by long-time friend Frank Sinatra. Sinatra flew Louis to Houston to have famous heart surgeon Michael DeBakey perform surgery. Later, Louis suffered a stroke, and a year later his heart finally failed him.
Joe Louis died of a heart attack on April 12, 1981. President Ronald Reagan waived the eligibility rules for being buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, thus allowing Louis to be buried there with full military honors. Reportedly his funeral was paid for by former competitor Max Schmeling, but recent biographies (of both Schmeling and Louis) deny this fact. His life and his achievements prompted famed New York sportswriter Jimmy Cannon to write "Joe Louis is a credit to his race—the human race."
Louis was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award given by the U.S. Congress, in 1982. In conferring the posthumous award, Congress stated that Louis "did so much to bolster the spirit of the American people during one of the most crucial times in American history and [has] endured throughout the years as a symbol of strength for the nation."
In addition to having a street near Madison Square Garden named after him, Louis has a sports complex named after him in Detroit, the Joe Louis Arena, where the Detroit Red Wings play their NHL games. A memorial to Louis was dedicated in Detroit (at Jefferson Avenue & Woodward) on October 16, 1986. The sculpture, commissioned by Time, Inc. and executed by Robert Graham, is a 24-foot long arm with a fisted hand suspended by a 24-foot high pyramidal framework. It represents the power of his punch both inside and outside the ring.
Louis starred in numerous motion pictures, in a handful of which he played himself, including:
