The Dublin Scioto High School drumline will be part of this year's Emerald City Games.
The Dublin Scioto High School drumline will be part of this year's Emerald City Games.
The July 30 Drum Corps International show that draws drum and bugle corps from throughout the country will include a drumline battle for the first time, with local performers thrown into the mix.
"The drumline battle is a new concept Drum Corps International is starting this year," said Gary Hodges, event organizer.
"It's sort of like ... I can do better than you."
For the contest, two drumlines will enter a designated area of the field and face off, first with two-minute routines and then 90-second routines.
"During the routine, they can move around, but all the equipment has to be carried," Hodges said.
Three judges will decide the winner of the battle and could call on the audience to help.
"The decision will be made on which one was more entertaining," Hodges said.
"It's more about entertaining than performance execution."
The drumlines in the inaugural contest are from Dublin Scioto High School, Watkins Memorial High School near Pataskala, and the Saints.
"It's an inner city group of students and they've come out and performed at preshow at the Emerald City Games before," Hodges said of the Saints.
Along with the first drumline battle, eight Drum Corps International groups of musicians ages 14-22 will perform.
The Blue Knights, Blue Stars, Oregon Crusaders, Santa Clara Vanguard, Vanguard Cadets, Spirit of Atlanta, The Academy and Troopers are in the lineup this year.
The drum corps come from throughout the country and Canada.
Members try out for the groups that spend the summer traveling from competition to competition.
Four groups in the lineup are new to the Emerald City Games, Hodges said.
"The Academy from Tempe, Ariz.; Blue Knights from Denver, Colo.; Santa Clara Vanguard, from Santa Clara and Vanguard Cadets are new," he said.
A few of the corps have been snagging high scores at competitions so far.
"The Santa Clara Vanguard is world class," Hodges said. "It's made of older students and they travel more.
"They have a feeder corps, the Vanguard Cadets. They're from the same organization, but with younger students," he said.
"We have seven world-class corps and one open class."
The Santa Clara group has maintained a standing in the top 12 in the International Drum Corps since the organization was established in 1973, Hodges said.
The group's drumline has met no equal this year, he said.
"I'm also excited for the Spirit of Atlanta," Hodges said.
"Traditionally, the Spirit of Atlanta and Blue Stars always have really good shows," he said, adding that they have appeal because of recognizable songs.
"It'll be a variety of things ... . There will be different uniforms and different types of music. It should be interesting."
The Emerald City Music Games are slated to start with the drumline battle at 6 p.m. and the Drum Corps International competition at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, in the Dublin Coffman High School stadium, 6780 Coffman Road.
Tickets range from $20 to $35 and can be purchased online at emeraldcitygames.org. Tickets will also be available at the gate July 30 starting at 3:30 p.m.

Gustav F. Oehler
German theologian
Gustav Friedrich Oehler was born at Ebingen, Wurttemberg and was educated privately and at Tubingen where he was much influenced by J.C.F.Steudel, professor of Old Testament theology. In 1837, after a term of Oriental study at Berlin, he went to Tubingen as Repelent, becoming in 1840 professor at the seminary and pastor in Schonthal.
In 1845 he published his Prolegomena zur Theologie des Alten Testaments, accepted an invitation to Breslau and received the degree of doctor from Bonn. In 1852 he returned to Tübingen as director of the seminary and professor of Old Testament Theology at the university. He declined a call to Erlangen as successor to Franz Delitzsch, and died at Tubingen in 1872.
Oehler admitted the composite authorship of the Pentateuch and the Book of Isaian, and did much to counteract the antipathy against the Old Testament that had been fostered by Schliermacher. In church polity he was Lutheran rather than Reformed. Besides his Old Testament Theology (Eng. trans., 2 vols., Edinburgh, 1874-1875), his works were Gesammelte Seminarreden (1872) and Lehrbuch Symbolik (1876), both published posthumously, and about forty articles for the first edition of Herzog's Realencyklopadie.
Works by Gustav F. Oehler
Gustav Oehler's impressive study of the Old Testament is rich with historical and theological substance. Part I focuses on the history of the revelation in the Old Testament from the perspective of the Biblical people. Oehler explores the many factors that influenced Divine Revelation and prophecy in the Old Testament. Oehler concludes this section with two doctrines. The first is the Doctrine of God, in which he surveys the names and personalities of God revealed in the Old Testament. The second is the Doctrine of Humankind, which discusses human nature, human purpose, and human relation to sin. In Part II, Oehler writes about the Old Testament prophets and the essential elements of prophecy. Finally, Oehler concludes with Part III, a shorter section in which he explores wisdom and morality as it is portrayed in the Old Testament. Oehler's critical and exegetical analysis is filled with valuable information.

Brocade and its partners help customers build the next generation of distributed and virtualized data centers in a simple, evolutionary way
Today at VMworld® 2011, Brocade (Nasdaq: BRCD), the leader in fabric-based data center architectures, today announced significant advancements to the Brocade® CloudPlex™ architecture with new Brocade Virtual Compute Blocks. These bundled solutions consist of integrated, tested and validated multivendor server, virtualization, networking and storage resources. Demonstrating substantial partner traction, the new solutions are available today, delivered and supported in collaboration with a wide range of alliance partners, including Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi Data Systems and VMware.
This open approach is an underlying tenet of the Brocade CloudPlex architecture announced in May, 2011. The open, extensible framework is designed to help customers build the next generation of distributed and virtualized data centers in a simple, evolutionary way that preserves their ability to dictate all aspects of the migration. It is the foundation for integrated compute blocks and it supports existing multivendor infrastructure to unify customers' assets into a single compute and storage domain.
"Organizations are seeking to maximize the benefits of cloud computing through more efficient infrastructure procurement, pre-integrated components, faster support response, and greater choice in best-in-class products to meet specific business needs," said John McHugh, chief marketing officer at Brocade. "Brocade Virtual Compute Blocks leverage our Ethernet fabrics and industry-leading Fibre Channel SAN fabrics to allow our partners to create integrated stacks that optimize cost effectiveness, flexibility and performance. Because these solutions are open, they allow our customers to scale components independently and better utilize legacy infrastructures."
According to IDC research1, "As organizations move to create a dynamic data center enabled by virtualization, they are moving to architectures where server, storage, and network assets are in tighter alignment into converged infrastructures. IDC defines a converged infrastructure as one in which the server, storage, and network infrastructure resources are treated as pools to be assigned as needed to business services. According to research conducted by IDC, the top benefits organizations achieve by implementing a converged infrastructure are cost savings, simplified management, better availability, increased flexibility, and higher utilization."
Brocade Virtual Compute Block Partner Solutions
Brocade Virtual Compute Block solutions include hypervisor software integrated with servers, storage and brocade fabric networking products in bundled, pre-racked and pre-tested configurations enriched by technology from Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi Data Systems and VMware.
Brocade and Dell have partnered to develop a reference architecture that includes Dell Compellent Fibre Channel storage, Dell PowerEdge servers, Brocade data center and SAN switches and the VMware hypervisor, that is being shown at the Brocade VMworld booth.
"Our reference architecture developed with Brocade demonstrates Dell Compellent's commitment to provide open, cloud-optimized solutions for our customers' increasingly dynamic requirements in Fibre Channel environments," said Phil Soran, president of Dell Compellent. "Enterprises that deploy this reference architecture benefit from the ability to scale virtualization with their business requirements while deploying industry-leading storage from Dell Compellent and Fibre Channel networking solutions from Brocade."
EMC and Brocade have joined forces with several partners to deliver Virtual Compute Blocks, which combine VMware virtualization software and management tools, EMC® VNXe™ unified storage, servers and integrated Brocade Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabric networking technologies. EMC and Brocade are now working with Arrow, Tech Data, First Distribution and Acao to deliver Virtual Compute Blocks in the U.S., and in parts of Europe, Africa, and South America. These integrated, easy-to-install solutions enable EMC customers to quickly deploy private and hybrid cloud infrastructures, which provide data center consolidation, availability, scalability and automation.
"Our integration work with Brocade is a key enabler for our resellers in providing simplified deployment of Virtual Compute Blocks and further demonstrates our commitment to delivering cloud infrastructure solutions for our mutual customers that help transform data centers into highly efficient and agile environments," said Josh Kahn, Vice President, Solutions Marketing at EMC.
Fujitsu and Brocade have partnered to create solutions supporting Fujitsu's Dynamic Infrastructures architecture, which will help enterprises boost business agility, efficiency and IT economics. These are designed for data centers of the future, delivering powerful automated pools of computing resources made up of server, storage, network and virtualization technology.
"Fabric-based networks are an important requirement to successful deployments of solutions that will enable our customers to accelerate their cloud-based IT initiatives," said Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President, Product Development Group at Fujitsu Technology Solutions. "We are pleased to add Brocade Ethernet fabric technologies to our portfolio, which enhances the long-term partnership we have had in deploying SANs for our customers' virtualized environments."
Hitachi Data Systems
Hitachi converged data center solutions combine storage, compute and networking, with software management, automation and optimization to automate, accelerate and simplify cloud adoption. As a key networking partner, Brocade provides networking solutions for Hitachi converged data center solutions, including Ethernet switch, Fibre Channel fabric data center switches, and Fibre Channel switch modules for the Hitachi Compute Blade family. Solutions include:
- Hitachi solutions built on Microsoft Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track: A combination of Hitachi storage and compute, with Brocade networking and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and System Center for high-performance private cloud infrastructures and an avenue for further automation and orchestration.
- Hitachi Unified Compute Platform: An open and converged platform that provides orchestration and management within the portfolio of Hitachi converged solutions for automated dynamic management of servers, storage and networking to create business resource pools from a simple, yet comprehensive interface.
- Hitachi Converged Platform for Microsoft Exchange 2010: The first in a portfolio of pretested application-specific converged solutions and engineered for rapid deployment and tightly integrated with Exchange 2010's powerful new features for resilience, predictable performance and seamless scalability.
"HDS and Brocade have partnered to deliver tested and proven solutions with tightly integrated storage, compute and networking products that allow our mutual customers to benefit from Ethernet switch and Fibre Channel fabric technologies to create flexible cloud-based infrastructures," said Asim Zaheer, vice president, corporate and product marketing, Hitachi Data Systems. "Through quicker deployment, automation and scalability, Hitachi converged data center solutions help organizations adopt cloud at their own pace and see predictable results and faster time to value."
VMware and Brocade have developed a reference architecture solution that enables organizations to create a scalable virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment.
The VMware/Brocade VDI reference architecture VMware View™, Brocade VDX data center switches and converged network adapters, Intel x-86-based rack servers, iSCSI-based storage and TrendMicro security software.
Benefits of the VMware/Brocade VDI solution include best-in-class performance and scalability, enhanced security, ease-of-migration and lower total cost of ownership.
"VMware and Brocade have collaborated on a joint VDI solution that addresses our customers' needs to improve business productivity though increased performance, secured client access and elimination of business disruptions," said Vittorio Viarengo, vice president, End-User Computing, VMware. "IT organizations can utilize our reference architecture to deploy a quick-start configuration within their data center or at remote locations. In addition, it can be used as a test or development platform for businesses eager to gain the benefits and advantages of virtualizing user desktops."
Avnet Virtual Compute Block Solutions
Separately today at VMworld, Brocade and Avnet announced joint development of a Virtual Compute Block-based reference architecture and validated solution designed to cost effectively build VDI environments. The VDI bundle will help Avnet reseller partners design and deploy open, efficient and scalable virtualization solutions for their enterprise customers by incorporating Brocade and VMware networking and hypervisor technologies in conjunction with a variety of compute and storage platforms.

Ten Second Review
The Renault Master has been a mainstay of the large van sector for some time now, along with its siblings, the Nissan NV400 and Vauxhall Movano. With a vast choice of body styles, engines and options, the Master features economical and refined powerplants, load volumes from 8 to 22 cubic metres and fresh face.
Renault's Master van is one of those commercial vehicles that seems to do just enough to warrant its own existence in the UK, rarely being the first vehicle buyers consider in a large van segment dominated by models like the Mercedes Sprinter, the Volkswagen Crafter or the Ford Transit. In Europe it's a different matter, the Master racking up some impressive sales. Spawned from the same basis as the Vauxhall Movano and Nissan NV400, the Master has been around in one guise or another since 1980, with that first generation model lasting for 17 years. Its 1997 replacement stuck around for a mere 13 years and the third generation Master appeared in 2010 and has now been revised to keep things current. Is it time we gave the Master the respect it would appear to deserve?
Driving Experience
The biggest changes to this Master come under the bonnet, where Renault now offers a choice of four dCi diesel engines. They're all based on the same 2.3-litre block, but the 110 and 125PS entry level engines are bolstered by one turbocharger, while the heavier duty 135 and 165PS units get a pair of turbos bolted on. Even the 110PS unit generates a respectable slug of torque, with 285Nm available at just 1,250rpm. The twin-turbo 165PS powerplant is good for 360Nm at 1,500rpm. A dual mass flywheel and a crankshaft with eight counterweights also help to reduce engine noise and cut the amount of vibration coming into the cabin. The Master is available in both front and rear-wheel drive layouts and Renault has even built a special heavy hauler model optimised for motorway usage. The rear-wheel drive L4 version with single rear wheels has been added to the Master catalogue, in addition to the existing twin rear-wheel version. This variant means that 30 extra centimetres are now available between the interior rear wheel wells, which means a europallet can be loaded widthways. Five such pallets can be accommodated, and that is sure to interest long distance operators and express courier businesses at which this version is aimed. This version of the Master is only available with twin turbo engines. Fuel consumption is down by around half a litre per 100km compared with the equivalent twin-wheeled version, thanks notably to a longer final drive ratio (which means lower revs for the same travelling speed), plus the vehicle's lighter weight, reduced rolling resistance and the better aerodynamics of the single rear wheels.
Design and Build
The cabin of the Master has been designed to be as car-like in its seating position as possible while incorporating a number of 'office on wheels' features. Renault has given a lot of thought to the depth of the footwells relative to the hip point of the seating and the degree of seat rake available to offer a supremely comfortable driving angle that's a long way from the sit-up-and-beg stance you had to adopt in older vans. A suspension seat is available as an option, as indeed is seat heating. The design of the windscreen and side windows, plus the high-up seating position ensure commanding vertical and horizontal fields of vision of 39.9 and 193.1 degrees respectively.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £19,000 excluding VAT, which is in line with its sibling vehicles from Nissan and Vauxhall. Of course, there's an absolutely dizzying array of Master variants with more than 120 different models already on Renault's books, with carrying capacities extending from 8 to 22 cubic metres. As well as the panel vans we examine here, there are people carriers, buses, chassis cabs and twin-cab chassis, platform cabs, crew vans and tippers. The Master is offered in four lengths, three wheelbases and with two different rear overhangs. Front and rear-wheel drive is available, with the rear-wheel drive chassis sold with single or twin rear wheels. Then there are four gross vehicle weights: 2.8 tonnes, 3.3 tonnes, 3.5 tonnes (with single or twin rear wheels) and 4.5 tonnes (with twin rear wheels). Standard equipment provision looks good with a DAB stereo, Bluetooth hands free telephony, a CD player plus USB and iPod connectivity. There's also an optional system incorporating the Carminat TomTom navigation system with an overhead screen. There are also a number of driver aids that improve safety, such as the Grip Xtend function that optimises grip on soft surfaces, hill start assist, stability control with load adaptive control and simpler things such as a wide view mirror built into the passenger sun visor that eliminates the traditional blind spot.

Multifaceted Image Similarity Criteria as Revealed by Sorting Tasks
Mari Laine-Hernandez and Stina Westman
ASIS&T 2008 Annual Meeting (AM08 2008)
Columbus, Ohio, October 24-29, 2008
This paper reports a study on the types of image categories constructed from magazine photographs. A novel sorting procedure was tested with the aim of providing more data on image similarity and possible category overlap. Expert and non-expert participants were compared in their categorizations. The new procedure resulted in an average of 66%-111% increase in data gathered compared to basic free sorting. Categories were constructed on various levels: image Function, main visual content (People, Objects and Scene), conceptual content (Theme) and descriptors (Story, Affective, Description, Photography and Visual). Most categories were based on the theme and people portrayed in the photograph, and in the case of the experts, image function. Also abstract and syntactic similarity criteria were employed by the participants. The categories created by each participant showed on average a 35%-53% overlap. Participants also demonstrated a strong tendency to combine several categorization criteria from different levels in a single category. These results indicate a need for a multifaceted approach in future image categorization studies and frameworks.

Wreath Cookie Recipe
Ingredients: 1/2 c. butter, 4 c. mini marshmallows, 1 t. green food coloring, 1/2 t. almond extract, 1/2 t. vanilla, 4 c. cornflake cereal, 1 pkg cinnamon red hots.
Drop onto a greased sheet of wax paper, and add 3 red hot (berries) to each wreath. Transfer to a lightly greased container for storage (so they don't stick). Let harden.
Now I can check these off my to do list....and add them to the cookie list for next year. The to do list is a vicious cycle when ideas are met with success.

Last week we talked about the civil rights movement and how books like The Help compel us to ask, Would we have done the right thing then, and are we doing the right thing now? I asked if you could think of any present-day situations that call for the same kind of action but that might be difficult to speak out about in the current cultural climate.
The most commonly mentioned issue was gay rights (and also how evangelicals treat the GLBT community), and I wholeheartedly agree that this meets the criteria, demanding our attention, our voices, and our love.
But when this clip from The Daily Show started circulating around the internet, I was reminded of another group that consistently faces oppression and hate in the U.S.—Muslim Americans.
On the show, Stewart featured the controversy surrounding plans to build a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, which is just a short drive from Dayton. If you have time to check out the ABC News report, please do…but be prepared for a shock. Even as a Tennessee resident, I was completely taken aback that over 600 citizens would pack out a county commission to protest against their neighbors worshipping freely.
The footage is heartbreaking. "I don't want them in my neighborhood," one man said. "We are fighting these people," said another. "They are against everything we believe in," said several. A local builder even encouraged contractors to boycott the project!
But what brought me to tears was the fact that, according to the report, there were "no public comments in favor of the mosque."
No one spoke up for their neighbors.
No one stood up for the oppressed.
No one was willing to face the inevitable disdain that would have followed had they done the right thing.
Now,I don't want to downplay how tough it is to be gay in America, but when our county commission voted to make homosexuality illegal—(I know; crazy, right?)—they at least faced some pretty major backlash from the community. We protested. We got the motion rescinded. We voted most of the participants out of office in the next election. There is of course much to be done on behalf of the GLBT community, but I get the sense that we are headed in the right direction and that the network of support is growing stronger.
The Muslim community, however, often suffers in silence. And around here, I get the sense that the hatred runs deep. It amazes me that the same folks who so loudly champion their rights to guns and free speech guaranteed by the constitution seem to think freedom of religion is negotiable.
As Christians, we must speak up, for it is no coincidence that when Jesus was asked, Who is my neighbor? he chose the most hated religious-ethnic group of the day—Samaritans—to tell his story.
What can be done about this? How can we support our Muslim neighbors? Do you think that this kind of blatant prejudice is a geographic thing, limited to places like rural Tennessee? Was I naive to be so shocked by it?

It's been very hot in KL this few weeks and when the weather leaves you all sweaty, nothing is as nice as some ice-cold juicy watermelon. When walking around Little Korea in Ampang on Friday, my friend Kio and I were excited to find a watermelon ice lolly. Fashioned like a watermelon slice, this ice lolly was made so realistic it even had seeds scattered all over.
This popsicle looked so good, it reminded me of a jumper I've had my eye on and keep meaning to buy. The handknitted jumped is from Dudua based in funtime Barcelona!
A quick research also led me to quite a few fruitwear (footwear) watermelon-inspired designs. These include socks from artist/designer Baron von Fancy , and at least 3 models of trainers/sneakers that Mike Perry had customised in watermelon including Nikes and Vans. Funnily enough Vans also released the watermelon themed collection for Spring/Summer 2009, giving Van fans quite a few different cuts of the fruit to wear.
Keep is also offering watermelon fans plimsolls that will hopefully keep feet fresh all day. I like the use of colour in their offering. Slightly more subtle than the crazy Vans version although I must admit I love the green soles.
The watermelon is a striking fruit. So round and so green with such vermillion flesh, dotted with black seeds. It's no surprise that designers find it an inspirational fruit. This morning I had some watermelon with salt for breakfast and when I am back home, I will probably be digging out my copy of Richard Brautigan's In Watermelon Sugar to read again.
Update: Fans of Joakim can get his mp3 Watermelon Bubblicious here.

After the implementation of the livelihood assistance fund (LAF) program of the CHARM2 Project to address the rural financing needs of target communities and improve their quality of life, the Project is now subjecting its rural financial services to a further assessment to evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency.
This was done through a rural finance assessment workshop conducted at Prince Plaza Hotel in Baguio City on July 10-12, 2018. Concerned project staff, some livelihood interest groups (LIGs) and conduit community financing institutions (CFIs) were enjoined to participate and help assess the program.
Project Manager Cameron P. Odsey said the program can be assessed through the sharing of experiences and looking into the factors affecting the success and failure of the program in achieving its goal. "Let us share our experiences and look into our best practices and lessons learned gleaned from the implementation of the LAF program," he said.
A survey questionnaire was also administered to LIGs and CFIs to further assess how the financing services served its beneficiaries and specifically identify its strengths and constraints to provide appropriate recommendations to improve its system.
The Project invited Mr. Allen Ngilangil, executive director of the Cordillera Administrative Region Cooperative Union to serve as resource person and help the Project objectively assess the rural finance services of the CHARMP2.
Results of the assessment will serve to further enhance the implementation of LAF for the ongoing CHARMP2 Scale Up Project.
The Project also invited other agencies such as the DOLE, DOST, DTI and CDA to introduce their programs, which can be availed by the LIGs and CFI to further strengthen and sustain their groups and businesses.
However, AAIGA Coordinator Jerry Damoyan reminded the participants of the need to build trust among assistance providers. "Build your bankability, so you could avail more assistance from other institutions," he said.
LAF as a rural finance service for smallholder entrepreneurs
The LAF is an innovative financing program of the project to provide easier access to financial services for smallholder beneficiaries of the Project after the original credit design of the project was deemed inappropriate for its beneficiaries. According to Odsey, the project's LIGs composed of smallholder farmers, cannot really comply with the requirements of the formal credit sector, thus they cannot avail of any financial services from banks.
At midterm, the Project redesigned and converted the credit fund to LAF, which is friendlier to smallholder beneficiaries. It is a grant fund to be channeled to Community Financial Institutions to finance livelihood subprojects of farmers in CHARMP2 sites without the usual requirements of formal credit.
In 2014, the LAF program was approved. One of the key features that facilitated the success of the program is the integration of the farmer business school (FBS). The FBS is a participatory learning approach to support farmers' group participation in agricultural value chains. In partnership with the International Potato Center (CIP-FoodStart), the FBS was piloted to only some LIGs during the CHARM2 Project.
During the CHARM2 Scale Up, the FBS became a preparatory training for LIG members to prepare them in the implementation of their proposed business plan with the LAF, which will only be downloaded to them, after they finish the season-long training. Thus, all LIGs under the Scale-Up phase were able to undergo the said training and around 84% of the enrolees successfully completed the course this year.
The LAF is one of the best practice of the Project and was promoted in national and international conferences through IFAD, its funding institution. With this ongoing assessment, the Project wants to further study the program to concretely confirm its success factors and look into areas that still needs enhancement. This data will later on be mainstreamed to help project partners and interested development institutions sustain this development initiative.//CBOrcales

Today, the image of a modern woman largely depends on how she presents herself. Someone prefers a sporty style, someone a classic. But any woman must have ashro dresses in her wardrobe.
For which events are ashro dresses best suited?
The ashro dresses can be worn both in everyday life and at special occasions. Dresses are perfect for a walk or a date. Also in the dress you can go for a birthday, wedding or a party to the club.
Some girls dress – an integral part of the wardrobe. They wear them to work every day, as this implies a dress code.
How to choose the good ashro dresses?
Before you decide which ashro dresses are well suited for your figure, you must first determine what to highlight and what to hide as much as possible. Knowing the features of your body, pick up clothes of the appropriate style is not difficult.
To choose the good ashro dresses you need to understand what event it is intended for. If you want to wear it every day to work, then the dress should not be too bright and defiant. Rather, it should be consistent with the classical style, that is, be strict. The length should be slightly below the knees, the color is not too bright. Ideal colors such as black, blue, red. Based on the type of your figure, the dress can be tight to emphasize your figure, or vice versa free to hide flaws.
If the ashro dresses is intended for a festive event, such as a wedding, birthday or prom, then the choice should be based on the format of the celebration. If you understand that most of the evening you will sit at the table, or you need only beautiful photos from the banquet, then a long dress to the floor is perfect. The color can be absolutely any one you like. If there is a certain color scheme in the design of the party, then you can stick to it. If you are an active person and prefer to dance a lot, then it is unlikely that you will be comfortable in a long dress. Most likely you should make a choice in the direction of a short dress to the knees. But if you are a fan of beautiful photos and an active program, then for such an event, you can pick up two ashro dresses at once. One more luxurious suit you for the solemn part, and then you can change into something more comfortable.
What shoes should be worn under ashro dresses?
Shoes are the best element to complement ashro dresses. If you are short, then the high-heeled shoes are the ideal choice for you. They are absolutely suitable for any style of ashro dresses, any length. It is no secret that it is very difficult to walk in such shoes for a long time. Therefore, you can always wear sandals, low-heeled shoes and even sneakers.

It's Baaaaaaaaack: Lamar Smith Says SOPA Markup To Resume In February
from the bill's-not-dead-yet deptFor all the talk from some that SOPA was "dead," it appears it's alive and well and getting ready for its big re-entrance. Lamar Smith has just sent out a press release saying that he intends to resume the markup in February:
Stop Online Piracy Act Markup to Resume in FebruaryThere had been some talk that, due to Rep. Eric Cantor telling Rep. Darrell Issa that he would not take it to the floor, the bill was "dead." But, we knew all along it was only "delayed." Especially given the Senate's planned vote next week. This really is zombie legislation. It will not die... because some businesses that don't want to adapt want to make sure it never dies.
Washington, D.C. - House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today said that he expects the Committee to continue its markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act in February.
Chairman Smith: "To enact legislation that protects consumers, businesses and jobs from foreign thieves who steal America's intellectual property, we will continue to bring together industry representatives and Members to find ways to combat online piracy.
"Due to the Republican and Democratic retreats taking place over the next two weeks, markup of the Stop Online Piracy Act is expected to resume in February.
"I am committed to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to send a bipartisan bill to the White House that saves American jobs and protects intellectual property."
All the more reason to make your calls to Congress really count tomorrow.

The Nativity's Hope for All Creatures
What makes the festive season so special is that sense of hope and expectation leading up to Christmas Day. Hope is a powerful emotion and few sights are able to inspire more hope than that of a new life entering the world.Perhaps that is why the nativity scene is so timeless in its ability to evoke anticipation, optimism and promise. It was in fact St. Francis of Assisi who was credited with creating the first nativity display in 1223, turning the Biblical narrative into a living, breathing, noisy, smelly tableau that brought a once elusive retelling into vivid experience for the eyes.
Visibly today, from children's school plays to Christmas cards, Church posters to product advertisements, this scene of the infant Christ in a manger surrounded by highly inquisitive farmyard animals is a firm part of our traditional Christmas celebrations.
Christmas underscores the emotive power of the amazing animals with which we share our world. A nativity image, no matter how sentimentally portrayed, reminds us of the beauty and innocence of these endlessly mysterious and familiar beings who live complex lives beyond our control or comprehension.
The birth of Christ is a prime opportunity to remember that Christmas is not just about humanity. Rather the arrival of the infant Christ promises cosmic, restorative consequences for the whole of creation.
The hope of the nativity challenges us to look beyond the darker side of our use and abuse of animals to a manger scene which compels us to live out the love, mercy, and compassion of Christ in the here and now.
And don't forget to eat your fiber, which only comes from plants.

Tunisian protesters clash with riot police, unseen, in Siliana, Tunisia, Friday, Nov. 30, 2012. Tunisia's Prime Minister accused opposition parties and unions Thursday of provoking three days of violent clashes in Siliana and pleaded for patience while the government tackles the nation's economic problems. (AP Photo)
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The army moved into a southwestern Tunisian town, an official and witnesses said Friday, the fourth day of protests that have injured more than 300 people.
President Moncef Marzouki said on television that the North African country's government has not "met the expectations of the people" and asked that a new one, smaller and specialized to deal with the unrest, be formed. The current government has about 80 members.
"Tunisia today is at a crossroads," Marzouki said.
Several Tunisian radio stations said the army had moved into Siliana. An official close to Ennahda, the moderate Islamist party of Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, said the army will replace police in Siliani. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and asked not to be named. No official announcement was made, but eye witnesses corroborated the information, saying that several army trucks and other vehicles moved in.
Up to 10,000 people marched Friday to demand more jobs, government investment and the resignation of the local governor, but the peaceful protest degenerated into clashes with police. Still, the confrontation was far less serious than a day earlier, when the army was brought in briefly to quell protests.
The local hospital says more than 300 people have been injured after days of clashes.
The president expressed concern that the unrest in Siliana could spread to other regions in Tunisia's interior.
Unrest in the poor regions outside the capital of Tunis has particular resonance here. An educated but jobless man selling vegetables in another neglected town triggered protests after he burned himself to death that toppled autocratic leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. That in turn set off what is now known as the Arab Spring.
"Tunisia today has an opportunity that it must not miss to be a model because the world is watching us and we mustn't disappoint," Marzouki said.
The Tunisian president's ability to bring change is minimal. The prime minister is the determining force in the power structure. Marzouki, who has clashed with Jebali in the past, said new elections should be held "as soon as possible."
There was no immediate comment from the prime minister's office.

A Collection Of Heartland Hot Rods And Customs.
Three days, 3,000 cars, one camera. You can see the dilemma. Hiking around the Goodguys Heartland Nationals at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, soaking in some of mid-America's finest iron is like being a kid in a candy store–but it's like being a kid with only enough money for a few treats. Hot rodding is huge in the heartland and Goodguys Des Moines is one of the best places for seeing them. Picking the sweetest is a tough job.
R&C hasn't attended this event since the 20th century, so there was a lot of catching up to do. In addition to all the new rods and customs present, there were cars familiar to Midwesterners that were brand-new to us. A 100-yard trek along the main drag of the show, or down one of the tree-lined side streets, or around the numerous Pros Picks corrals could take an hour or longer. Checking out every car on the grounds–that was pretty much impossible. But we had a ball looking at as many as we could, visiting the vendors, and hanging out at the after-hours parties. When it was all over, we had the further challenge of selecting a handful of the rods and customs at Des Moines to share with you. Here are some of our favorites.

Dr Mike Biercuk in Top 100 most influential people
30 November 2012
Dr Mike Biercuk, from the School of Physics, has been named in the top 100 most influential people in Sydney by the Sydney Morning Herald's the(sydney)magazine.
The list of Sydney's top 100 most influential people was released on 30 November 2012 in a special edition of the(sydney)magazine.
Named in The Thinkers list of the Science and Knowledge section, Dr Biercuk was selected for his research in quantum physics and was dubbed a 'game changer'.
Dr Biercuk's research published in the prestigious journal Nature earlier this year, which detailed the results of his and an international team's 300-atom quantum simulator - a form of quantum computer - was highlighted in the listing. The fact that the research was listed in The 10 World-Changing Experiments That Will Shape The Future in BBC Focus magazine and generated huge international interest was also noted.
the(sydney)magazine stated 'If a quantum computer - one that can do calculations that would now require a machine larger than the size of the known universe - becomes a reality, we might be able to thank Michael Biercuk'.
The listing also referred to Dr Biercuk's work in lobbying the government to amend planned legislation that has the potential to seriously restrict Australia scientific research.
"I'm also building up a team of scientists and capabilities at the University. Teaching the students is just as rewarding as getting a scientific result," said Dr Biercuk in the(sydney)magazine.
Dr Biercuk is now the primary investigator in the Quantum Control Laboratory in the School of Physics, having come from the US in 2010, where the(sydney)magazine listing notes he was "learning the craft of 'trapping atoms' with this year's Nobel Prize winner, David Wineland".
Dr Biercuk was selected by a panel of eleven experts in the Science and Knowledge section of the list, including Professor Graciela Metternicht (Director of the Institute of Environmental Studies at UNSW), Michael Mobbs (sustainability coach), Judy Lumby (nurse educator and Director of the Joanna Briggs Foundation at the University of Adelaide), Amy Corderoy (health reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald), Honorary Professor Roslyn Arnold (Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Sydney), Jen Rosenberg (former education writer at the Sydney Morning Herald), Nicky Phillips (science and technology writer at the Sydney Morning Herald), Robyn Williams (presenter of ABC Radio National's The Science Show), Asher Moses (technology editor at the Sydney Morning Herald), George Wright (Head of Future Services at Fairfax Media) and Catherine Armitage (senior reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald).

7 Lovely Koi Fish Life Span
Pisces In some categories, a superclass of the Gnathostomata (jawed chordates) making up the fishes (contrast Tetrapoda). The entire physical body of a fish is covered with a difficult, normally scaly, skin (view scales), which crosses the eye and also includes pigments and also in some cases slime glandulars. The blood circulation system is a solitary circuit with blood passing with 2 collections of blood vessels, one at the gills and also the various other in the physical body cells. 3 semicircular canals exist in the internal ear. The feeling of odor is especially well established and also pressure waves are discovered by the lateral-line system (view lateral-line canal). Fossils of fish go back to the Ordovician duration, 505-- 438 million years ago. There are 2 courses of modern fish: Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) and also Osteichthyes (bony fishes).

GOP on DOMA: It's up to the states
Congressional Republican leaders are speaking with resounding unity: The same-sex marriage fight is ending on Capitol Hill.
While the conservative rank and file want to continue the fight that has, in part, defined the Republican Party for much of the past few decades, leadership is eager to shift it to state capitals across the country.
Story Continued Below
House Speaker John Boehner, whose leadership spent millions to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, said he was "disappointed" in the decision, but did not promise action in the Republican-controlled House.
"While I am obviously disappointed in the ruling, it is always critical that we protect our system of checks and balances," Boehner said in a statement. "A robust national debate over marriage will continue in the public square, and it is my hope that states will define marriage as the union between one man and one woman."
( PHOTOS: Reactions to Supreme Court's gay marriage rulings)
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican, said he's "disappointed in this decision, and the marriage debate will continue in the states."
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No 2. Senate Republican, said "like it or not, the Supreme Court is the final word on constitutional matters."
"It sounds to me that that battle will be moving to the states," Cornyn said. "The issue is not going away, and there are going to be havens of traditional values like Texas where I don't think the law is going to be changed."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) simply flashed a smile and ignored a reporter's question about the court's decision Wednesday.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP can't outrun culture wars)
But in a move that is sure to deepen tension between the right wing and the House leadership, social conservatives are gearing up to reignite the fight in Washington.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), speaking at a Tuesday meeting between reporters and conservative lawmakers, said he will file a constituional amendment in Congress late this week to restore DOMA. Huelskamp said he will be joined by other conservatives.
"My response to this [decision] will be later this week to file a federal marriage amendment," he said.
When asked whether leadership is likely to support efforts to restore DOMA, Huelskamp said he was encouraged by Boehner's statement after the ruling. "I give tremendous credit to the speaker of House," Huelskamp said.
( WATCH: Scenes from outside the Supreme Court)
It would be a drastic understatement to say the political dynamics of gay rights and gay marriage are shifting. National Republican politics and policy reflects the changing electorate.
The congressional GOP leadership that spent much of the past few decades trying to write into the Constitution its opposition to gay marriage, now appears to be waving the white flag when it comes to national policy. The party does face a shifting electorate, which is increasingly more comfortable with same-sex marriage, and several congressional Republicans — including Ohio Sen. Rob Portman — have endorsed same-sex marriage.
