John Kase helped make D-Day possible
One Charlottesvillian who didn't survive all the way to the 65th anniversary of D-Day but who help make it possible was John Kase (right in photo shot in 1996) who died May 24 at the age of 94. A career theater man, he got his first such job at 15 as an usher at the Jefferson Theater for 25 cents an hour. He rose to larger roles within the company, Dominion Theaters, which also owned the Lafayette and University Theaters, the latter of which he was managing in 1942 when he joined the Army to became part of the 831st Aviation Engineers, which built an Allied airfield near the village of Willingale, and he lamented the destruction of gorgeous pasture. Kase got back his job as manager of the University Theater upon his return in late 1945. He later worked as a "troubleshooter" for Neighborhood Theaters across the state, eventually settling into a spartan little office (now the Flat crepe stand) at the back of the Jefferson Theater along Water Street near the mammoth popper that supplied popcorn for most of the Charlottesville theaters. Among his tasks were demolishing the Lafayette to build a Rose's in the 1960s and building and then demolishing the Ridge Drive-In, which is today the site of the Hydraulic Road Kroger. He continued work until Neighborhood was purchased in 1988 by Canadia-based Cineplex-Odeon.

Don't Pass The Dutchie: Amsterdam Bans Pot From Schools, Playgrounds
Sorry, kids: No more smoking joints on the playground in Amsterdam anymore. This New Year brings new enforced rules on marijuana in the Dutch capital.
Technically, smoking marijuana was never allowed in or around schools, but there was no official way to fully implement the policy – until now. Starting Jan. 1, schools and playgrounds will be deemed "no toking zones" and those who disobey the new ruling face being fined by the police.
"It's not really what you have in mind as an educator, that children would be turning up for class stoned, or drunk either for that matter," Iris Reshef, a spokeswoman for the city, told The Associated Press. "But it has been a problem for some schools."
While cannabis is theoretically against the law in the Netherlands, under a "tolerance" principle there's nothing illegal with possessing small amounts. Amsterdam's relaxed drug policy stems from the belief that decriminalizing "soft drugs" will lead to more efficient government regulation and foster safer drug use.
Dutch drug laws starkly contrast that of most countries, including the U.S., though recently, both Washington state and Colorado legalized recreational marijuana use in small amounts.
Recently, following intense public backlash, Amsterdam dropped a potential law banning foreigners from buying marijuana. The law would have turned Amsterdam's infamous coffee shops – where different types of marijuana are often listed on menus — into private clubs, only granting a weed pass to legal residents. Officials feared that if bans were put in place, tourists would turn to buying drugs off the streets.
For now, Amsterdam still remains the "cannabis capital" of the world – just keep that purple haze away from the little Amsterdammers.

Carl Pavano Injured In The Most Carl Pavano Way Yet
Spring training hasn't started yet, but Carl Pavano is already in mid-season form. Pavano, 37, is a veteran major league pitcher with a medical history littered with bizarre injuries. On Thursday, Pavano ruptured his spleen after falling while shoveling snow in his driveway in Vermont. He will be out 6 to 8 weeks.
Could happen to anyone, right? Well, it happened to Pavano because it always happens to Pavano. With Luigi's mustache and Kenny McCormick's luck, Pavano was practically a human punch-line even before his shoveling on ice left him incapacitated. While 'with' the New York Yankees from 2005 through 2008, Pavano faced 642 batters and spent 630 days on the disabled list.
Here are some of the other ways Pavano has been injured in his career:
1999 — Sore elbow
2000 — Bone chips in elbow
2001 — Complications of bone chips in elbow
2005 — Concussion from a batted ball
2005 — Shoulder tendonitis
2006 — Bruised, strained buttocks
2006 — Shoulder inflammation
2006 — Bone chips in elbow
2006 — Broken ribs in a car accident
2007 — Bruised left foot from a batted ball
2007 — Elbow strain / Tommy John surgery
2007 — Recovery from Tommy John surgery
2008 — Right hip injury
2012 — Sprained shoulder
If your car broke down as often as Pavano, you'd take the damn thing to the junkyard.
Pavano, who was 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA for the Twins in 2012, was an unsigned free agent at the time of the injury. Prior to the fall, both the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets expressed interest in signing him. Now? Probably not so much, unless they want to hire more doctors, too.

NEWPORT NEWS, Virginia (WTKR) — A teen accused in the murder of a 13-year-old allegedly confessed to the crime using social media.
The 15-year-old boy charged with the murder in Newport News last year confessed in a Facebook message he sent to his victim after the crime, according to affidavits for search warrants filed in Newport News circuit court this month.
Kashawn Hines is accused of shooting Lamonee Johnson-Chisholm to death last November in front of the victim's home.
In the affidavit for the search warrant, investigators say Hines wrote in a Facebook message to Johnson-Chisholm, "He did not mean to kill him and that he only meant to scare him by shooting Lamoee. Kashawn also stated he was sorry for killing Lamonee because they used to be friends."
"I looked at it and I just stared at it for a while," said Quintonia Chisholm, Lamonee's mother, who told police about the messages when she saw them the day after her son's death. "His apologies and his I-didn't-mean-to's mean nothing. They don't bring Lamonee back. It doesn't change the fact that he changed so many lives by doing something so stupid."
The affidavit says Kashawn thought "Lamonee would have gotten to him if Kashawn did not act first".
"How big of a threat could he have been if you shot him in his back?" Chisholm said.
The affidavits say there were "several messages to Lamonee from various individuals who were threatening to kill him" and "there were several threatening messages from subjects posted before and after his death".
Lamonee's mother believes more people should be charged.
"I am waiting on the day to smile at the fact that they make more arrests in my son's murder case," she said.
Until then, she hopes Hines will pay for Lamonee's death.
"Monee was 13. He's 15. He celebrated his birthday after [the murder]. Monee didn't," she said. "I'm not bitter or mad because he's living and Monee isn't. I'm just saying hold him responsible for what he did."
Earlier this month, a judge ruled that Hines will be tried as an adult. He'll be back in court in April.

Some of what makes anti-procrastination tools work, is their novelty. Once that novelty wears off, you are right back where you started, procrastinating again.

A hypothetical example:

Let's say I hate mopping my floor and I always procrastinate about doing it. Then I see an ad on TV for a wonder mop, with a handle that twinkles when you push it. You stop pushing, it stops twinkling. You push it faster, it twinkles more. And even more amazing, is that it also sings! I order this mop, because it seems like it could make mopping fun.

So the mop arrives, and I can't wait to get it out of it's packaging and try it. I fill my bucket with soapy water and begin mopping. The singing & twinkling is pretty cool, and before I know it, the whole floor is clean. Great! Wonderful! Terriffic! It's working. I didn't procrastinate and I got the job done.

I like this mop so much, I am having no problem mopping my floor and keeping it clean. I am not even procrastinating about it any more. This is the best mop ever! It's like magic!

But a few months later, after the novelty of the twinkling & singing mop begins to wear off, I find myself beginning to procrastinate about mopping the floor again. What happened? This was supposed to be the best mop ever. What went wrong?

Nothing went wrong. I just had an unrealistic expectation that some wonder tool was going to make me like doing a task I hate.

The truth is that nothing can make me like mopping floors, not even a magical, singing, twinkling wonder mop.

So if you try an anti-procrastination tool and it works for awhile, but then stops working...the problem isn't the tool. It's you and how you feel about the task...your real feelings.

Instead of looking for a new tool to trick yourself into thinking that you like what you hate, work on the real problem: the task itself, how you feel about it, and why.

If you can be honest with yourself, you can begin to look for a real solution instead of tricks. If you fix the root problem, you won't need a singing, twinkling mop to get things done.Apphttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Let the music of rushing whitewater and the solitude of Maine's 100-Mile Wilderness lull you into a week-long daydream in this cozy housekeeping cabin on the banks of picturesque Big Wilson Stream. Your very own 2,500-foot stretch of river tumbles over a stepped waterfall, ambles in a deep pool fit for a summertime swim, and carves its way through a field of polished slate.
Built in fall/winter of 2003-'04 and nestled into 25 acres of stately dogwood, poplar, maple and cedar, this north woods retreat is a gallery-perfect setting for your family vacation, accommodating six guests comfortably.
The adventurous among you can make daily treks to Borestone Mountain, Little Wilson Falls, and Big Wilson Cliffs, all within 2.5 miles of home base. You'll cross paths with Appalachian Trail hikers coming down from Mount Katahdin and through the Gulf Hagas, Maine's answer to the Grand Canyon. Little Greenwood Pond and larger Lake Onawa beckon to the east, with miles of wilderness shoreline to explore by boat.
Barbecue your meals on the oversized deck, overlooking the river, or retire indoors to a country kitchen / family room with a hearth & wood stove, soaring ceilings, and 180-degree views of the gently sloping north woods. By night, snuggle down into one of the two main-floor bedrooms, or the sleeping loft, and let the river sing you a lullaby, unaccompanied by the noises of civilization.
For an occasional fix of north woods hospitality or to restock your provisions, there are eateries and camp stores in nearby Monson (8 miles, via winding Elliotsville Road) and Greenville (15 miles north of Monson on Route 6/15). Keep an eye out along the way, especially passing by boggy areas. You are in Moose Country!

I'd like to install a package (microtype 2.5 beta 4) under TeX Live that isn't available in the official repository.
Now, I know that it's usually enough to put the package under
~/texmf/tex/latex/ but I was wondering if I couldn't use
tlmgr to do the grunt work for me.
In particular, I noticed that
tlmgr has a
--repository option that can be used to pass it a local repository path. However, the following command unfortunately fails (understandably, since there is no TeX Live database file
texlive.tlpdb there to read from):
wget http://xetex.tk/mediawiki/images/1/1c/Microtype.tds.zip
unzip Microtype.tds.zip
tlmgr --repository=./Microtype.tds/ update microtype
I was wondering if there was still a possibility to make this work.

|One equation to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the land of Euler (that would be Switzerland, Biatch!), where the Shadows (of the Alps) lie.
Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the deep relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler's formula states that, for any real number x,
HistoryIt was Bernoulli [1702] who noted that
Meanwhile, Roger Cotes, in 1714, discovered
It was Euler (presumably around 1740) who turned his attention to the exponential function instead of logarithms, and obtained the correct formula now coined after his name. It was published in 1748, and his proof was based on the infinite series of both sides being equal. Neither of these men saw the geometrical interpretation of the formula: the view of complex numbers as points in the complex plane arose only some 50 years later (see Caspar Wessel).
Applications in complex number theory
This formula can be interpreted as saying that the function eix traces out the unit circle in the complex number plane as x ranges through the real numbers. Here, x is the angle that a line connecting the origin with a point on the unit circle makes with the positive real axis, measured counter clockwise and in radians.
The original proof is based on the Taylor series expansions of the exponential function ez (where z is a complex number) and of sin x and cos x for real numbers x (see below). In fact, the same proof shows that Euler's formula is even valid for all complex numbers z.
A point in the complex plane can be represented by a complex number written in cartesian coordinates. Euler's formula provides a means of conversion between cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates. The polar form reduces the number of terms from two to one, which simplifies the mathematics when used in multiplication or powers of complex numbers. Any complex number z = x + iy can be written as
argument of z—i.e., the angle between the x axis and the vector z measured counterclockwise and in radians—which is defined up to addition of 2π. Many texts write tan-1(y/x) instead of atan2(y,x) but this needs adjustment when x ≤ 0.
Now, taking this derived formula, we can use Euler's formula to define the logarithm of a complex number. To do this, we also use the definition of the logarithm (as the inverse operator of exponentiation) that
Therefore, one can write:
Finally, the other exponential law
Relationship to trigonometryEuler's formula provides a powerful connection between analysis and trigonometry, and provides an interpretation of the sine and cosine functions as weighted sums of the exponential function:
These formulas can even serve as the definition of the trigonometric functions for complex arguments x. For example, letting x = iy, we have:
After the manipulations, the simplified result is still real-valued. For example:
Other applicationsIn differential equations, the function eix is often used to simplify derivations, even if the final answer is a real function involving sine and cosine. The reason for this is that the complex exponential is the eigenfunction of differentiation. Euler's identity is an easy consequence of Euler's formula.
In electrical engineering and other fields, signals that vary periodically over time are often described as a combination of sine and cosine functions (see Fourier analysis), and these are more conveniently expressed as the real part of exponential functions with imaginary exponents, using Euler's formula. Also, phasor analysis of circuits can include Euler's formula to represent the impedance of a capacitor or an inductor.
Definitions of complex exponentiation
The exponential function ex for real values of x may be defined in a few different equivalent ways (see Characterizations of the exponential function). Several of these methods may be directly extended to give definitions of ez for complex values of z simply by substituting z in place of x and using the complex algebraic operations. In particular we may use either of the two following definitions which are equivalent. From a more advanced perspective, each of these definitions may be interpreted as giving the unique analytic continuation of ex to the complex plane.
Power series definitionFor complex z
Limit definitionFor complex z
ProofsVarious proofs of the formula are possible.
Using power seriesHere is a proof of Euler's formula using power series expansions as well as basic facts about the powers of i:
Using calculusTreating i as a constant, albeit an imaginary constant, note that
Using differential equationsHere is another proof that follows from the differential identity above. Define a new function ƒ(x) of the real variable x as

In analytical mathematics, Euler's Identity, named for the Swiss-German mathematician Leonhard Euler, is the equality
- is Euler's number, the base of natural logarithms,
- is the imaginary unit, which satisfies i2 = −1, and
- is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
BeautyEuler's identity is considered by many to be remarkable for its mathematical beauty. These three basic arithmetic operations occur exactly once each: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. The identity also links five fundamental mathematical constants:
- The number 0, the additive identity.
- The number 1, the multiplicative identity.
- The number π, which is ubiquitous in trigonometry, the geometry of Euclidean space, and analytical mathematics (π = 3.14159265...)
- The number e, the base of natural logarithms, which occurs widely in mathematical and scientific analysis (e = 2.718281828...). Both π and e are transcendental numbers.
- The number i, the imaginary unit of the complex numbers, a field of numbers that contains the roots of all polynomials (that are not constants), and whose study leads to deeper insights into many areas of algebra and calculus, such as integration in calculus.
A poll of readers conducted by The Mathematical Intelligencer magazine named Euler's Identity as the "most beautiful theorem in mathematics".[1] Another poll of readers that was conducted by Physics World magazine, in 2004, chose Euler's Identity tied with Maxwell equations (of electromagnetism) as the "greatest equation ever".[2]
An entire 400-page mathematics book, Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula (published in 2006), written by Dr. Paul Nahin (a Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire), is devoted to Euler's Identity. This monograph states that Euler's Identity sets "the gold standard for mathematical beauty."[3]
Constance Reid claimed that Euler's Identity was "the most famous formula in all mathematics."[4]
The mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss was reported to have commented that if this formula was not immediately apparent to a student upon being told it, that student would never become a first-class mathematician.[5]
After proving Euler's Identity during a lecture, Benjamin Peirce, a noted American 19th century philosopher/mathematician and a professor at Harvard University, stated that "It is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means, but we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth." [6]
The Stanford University mathematics professor, Dr. Keith Devlin, said, "Like a Shakespearean sonnet that captures the very essence of love, or a painting that brings out the beauty of the human form that is far more than just skin deep, Euler's Equation reaches down into the very depths of existence."[7]
The identity is a special case of Euler's formula from complex analysis, which states that
GeneralizationsEuler's Identity is actually a special case of the more general identity that the nth roots of unity, for n > 1, add up to 0:
In another field of mathematics, by using quaternion exponentiation, one can show that a similar identity also applies to quaternions:
AttributionWhile Euler wrote about his formula that relates e with cosine and sine terms, in the field of complex numbers, there is no known record of Euler's actually stating or deriving the simplified identity equation itself.
Furthermore, Euler's formula was probably known before the life of Euler.[8] (If so, then this usage would be an example of Stigler's law of eponymy.) Thus, the question of whether or not this identity should be attributed to Euler is unanswerable.

Your skill will accomplish
what the force of many cannot
Re: Re: Re: Often Overlooked OO Programming Guidelinesby scrottie (Scribe)

|Need Help??
Hi folks,
This is really a reply to the thread so far.
First, nice work Ovid. I'm jealous of anyone who can write clear, simple examples - I haven't developed the skill yet.
princepawn and iburrell - one objection I raised to subclassing rather than delegating is the breakdown of structure in the program. The best analogy I can think of is databases. Databases with one large table can't effectively be reported on - they have no structure. No relation. No parts that exist seperate from each other. You can always self-join - that is, join a table against itself, but this quickly becomes pathological. SelfJoingData at the Perl Design Patterns Repository is my attempt to flesh out this concept.
Obviously, this fits in very strongly with the LawOfDemeter. Once you have structure, it must be navigated sanely, but if you have no structure, why even try to navigate it?
Reporting is the database analogy. Reporting requires one-to-many and many-to-many relationships and everything required to create those - collectively known as database normalization. With object oriented code, you normally don't use the structure to report, but rather model state.One hot dog might have multiple topings. One table might order multiple hot dogs. One table might have multiple seperate checks. They might also have a pizza with multiple orders of the same topping - cheese, perhaps. If I had a nickel for every perl programmer that couldn't handle the slightist bit of one-to-many or many-to-many in code, I'd be a rich man. I've also suffered vast numbers of one-big-table Microsoft Access databases in my life.
Database with exactly one table are a pathological case, but databases with one table and all other tables joining on only it are only a small improvement. Some reporting can be done, but only explicitly supported things. Some structure exists, but only where it is fancied for the purpose the creator had in mind. Any other reports, any other purpose, the structure is useless. Data must be gleaned dispite the structure. Or in spite of the lack of structure. Or something. This is the GodObject - one large object that knows all, sees all, controls, and only temporarily gives up control of the CPU to make method calls that are sure to return back so it can continue being in control. It is this desire to centralize control that waylays effort or interest in opening up to the wide world of event handlers, listeners, state machines, and so on and so forth - the bread and butter of the object world. You can't write a good OO program with centralized control, and you can't decentralize control as long as you build large compound objects and erase the distinction between different types of things.
Someone in this thread used IO::Handle as an example of something to subclass - that's a good example. The rule of thumb is: subclass to create a more specific kind of something that already exists, create a new class to create a new kind of thing, and delegate to create something which knows how to do things that are defined in multiple seperate classes. IO::Handle's existing and future subclasses are specialized versions of IO::Handle: they read, write, flush, and do the things that IO::Handle does, but in special situations, and they do some related things that don't belong elsewhere. You don't get IO::Handles that work on database sockets that also know how to query the database, or if you do, hopefully they create a $dbh instance, passing it their socket, and delegate requests to that.
I've done this rant a hundred times. Can you tell? =)
One last bloody stab - re: Objects aren't always the way to go, absolutely. Perl Design Patterns starts off on a bender about you never know before hand that a program will grow, require additions, modifications, not to mention what it will need. You can't plan for the future, and most of the time, you shouldn't even try. I think the real art is two-fold: 1. Knowing how to start building classes, delegations, aggregations onto something procedural (or simplisticly OO) in such a way that the program grows gracefully and scales. 2. Know top down design, bottom up design, functional programming, procedural programming, relational modeling, and so on. Pick the right idiom. OO isn't for everything. People in the Java camp tend to add too much structure and thus obscure the problem and the solution they've devised, not to mention oblivion to other idioms. Using the wrong idiom is just as ineffective as using the correct idiom badly.
A programmer who hasn't been exposed to all four of the imperative, functional, objective, and logical programming styles has one or more conceptual blindspots. It's like knowing how to boil but not fry. Programming is not a skill one develops in five easy lessons. -- Tom Christiansen in 34786.

Danny DeVito + Rhea Perlman Break Our Hearts By Calling It Quits
It's official. Love is well and truly dead.
Hollywood's favorite vertically-challenged couple, 'Taxi' star Danny DeVito and sarcastic 'Cheers' barmaid Rhea Perlman, are splitting after almost 30 years of marriage.
According to TMZ, the pair — both of whom are about 5 feet tall — met in 1970 when Perlman saw DeVito perform off-Broadway in an aptly-named show called 'The Shrinking Bride.' After a 12-year courtship, they wed in 1982 and later went on to have three children together.
A rep for the couple confirmed news of the sad separation but had no further comment.
They say humor is the most important ingredient in a marriage, but between this and Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's split, we're starting to have our doubts. (Speaking of which — hey Amy, since our dream match-up of you and Louis CK doesn't seem to be happening, might we suggest giving Danny a call?)

The Sopranos star Tony Lip dies aged 82
The star, who was best known for his portrayal of mob kingpin Carmine Lupertazzi in hit TV show The Sopranos, passed away in hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey on Friday (04Jan12).
The exact cause of his death is unknown but family members told local newspaper The Record of Woodland Park that Lip's health had been failing in recent years.
Born Frank Anthony Vallelonga, Lip played minor league baseball in North Carolina with the St. Louis Browns organisation, then served in the American Army from 1951 to 1953 in Germany.
During the 1960s, he worked as general manager of the famed Copacabana nightclub in Manhattan, New York City where he met The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and casting director Louis DiGiaimo, who gave him a minor role in the movie as a wedding guest.
Lip went on to star in successful films Goodfellas, Raging Bull and Donnie Brasco.
In 2005, he co-wrote and released a cookbook titled Shut Up And Eat!, in which he and Italian-American actors James Gandolfini, Danny Aiello and Chazz Palminteri shared their families' favourite Italian recipes.
His funeral will take place on Tuesday (08Jan13) in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.

Chapter: I-2-3
Subject: Scheduling and Notice of Hearing
On August 9, 2010, the Social Security Administration implemented a 3-year pilot program that allowed the agency, instead of an Administrative Law Judge, to set the time and place for a hearing. This transmittal updates the instructions contained in HALLEX I-2-3 to reference the existence of the program, but does not otherwise address any aspect of the pilot program.
Additionally, on September 10, 2010, the Office of the Chief Administrative Law Judge released Chief Judge Bulletin (CJB) 10-04, which provided guidance regarding when it was permissible to conduct a hearing by telephone for a claimant held in a place of confinement. This transmittal incorporates that guidance into HALLEX instructions.
We modified I-2-3-10 to incorporate changes to 20 CFR 404.936 and 416.1436 (68 FR 5218, Feb. 3, 2003, as amended at 75 FR 39160, July 8, 2010). Additionally, we incorporated language from CJB 10-04 into the section. We provided further clarification regarding reimbursement of travel expenses for consistency with the Administrative Instructions Manual Systems and other programmatic guidance. We clarified there are significant differences between travel reimbursement for representatives and travel reimbursement for claimants or subpoenaed witnesses. We also made other minor editorial changes.

Most things that happen in helicopter aviation can be viewed from more than one perspective, and sometimes achieving access to the correct viewpoint can end up feeling like a matter of life and death. During the 1970s, out of Borinquen, Puerto Rico, we enjoyed not only the pleasure of covering the largest search and rescue sector in all of U.S. Coast Guard operations with the exquisitely capable Sikorsky HH-3F (the heaviest, and most range-capable S-61 ever produced), but we were tasked with an enormously wide spectrum of remarkably interesting duties.
One of our particularly memorable chores in those days was a monthly resupply visit to a very lonely crew manning a LORAN transmitter site, located on one of the lesser islands in the remote Caicos group.
At that time, long before the advent of GPS, the Coast Guard maintained a staff of about 20 at that lonesome outpost, operating large diesel generators and supporting the elaborate electronics infrastructure required to keep transmitters on line, doing their part to sustain the worldwide array of "long range radio aid to navigation" facilities. These guys lived and worked in one of the most beautiful tropical settings on earth, but their desolation was total. They always swarmed our aircraft as soon as our blades stopped on shutdown, hungry for fresh groceries and the latest movies.
Their compensating asset, though, was an unlimited access to truly world-class sport diving.
I had acquired a diving background of my own during previous Navy service, and had been accordingly assigned by the CG to Borinquen Air Station specifically for the purpose of setting up a base SCUBA club, directly aimed at improving troop morale, so I always expressly enjoyed visiting the Caicos crews.
For some time they had been telling me about a huge grouper that lived on their reef, and they had asked, in fact, that I bring along a special "powerhead" speargun on one of our visits, since they reckoned that this particular trophy was more than conventional spearfishing equipment could handle. So on one trip I brought my special speargun, and was taken to see their fish.
We quickly found the spot where they contended that their outsized grouper could usually be seen through a hole in the coral. They took me down, and pointed through the opening, gesturing wildly. I peered through the hole, expecting to behold their monster fish, but I didn't see it. Back on the surface, they insisted with great animation that the colossus was sitting right there.
I went down and looked again, and this time received the shock of my life when I realized that the fish was so big I was only seeing a small part of it, just a few huge scales which I had at first not recognized as any part of a living animal.
Completely recalibrating perspective on the situation, I had to tell them that even my shotgun shell-powered spears would not be enough to safely harvest their gargantuan fish, and that anything more ambitious than leaving the poor beast alone would probably end up killing us all.
A year later I was enjoying my last Caribbean flight, familiarizing an incoming pilot with our local operating environment, the former Ramey Air Force Base, one of the Strategic Air Command's most magnificent locations.
We had a veteran crew, and near the end of our flight I asked if anyone would be interested in enjoying an air-conditioned H-3. Since air conditioning was only an impossible dream for tropically located H-3 crews in those days, they wondered what was being suggested. So, light on fuel, I started a spiral climb over Ramey's 12,000-foot runway, eventually achieving a decidedly cool altitude, very unusual for us. Standard H-3 procedures at that time required that the flight mechanic disconnect from ICS and execute a walking safety tour of the aircraft every 10 minutes, so as his "high altitude flight check" was completed everyone on the aircraft was surprised to hear his reconnecting voice announce the startling fact that nothing was visible out the entire right side of the aircraft because everything was covered with transmission oil.
Reports of threats to main transmissions at high altitudes are not what helicopter pilots ever want to hear, so we expedited back to the deck as immediately possible, maintaining intermediate torque input and watching for secondary indications like hawks. Once safely back on our ramp, we were mercifully able to very thankfully celebrate the precious ground perspective which allowed determination that a small external oil return line connector had randomly loosened, admitting spillage of a harmlessly minuscule portion of the many gallons comprising our transmission oil supply, but the comfort of that perspective had definitely not been possible at 14,000 feet!

What About The Twinkie?
Friends, we are gathered here today to remember an American icon: the Hostess Twinkie.
We thought he'd live forever. Heck, some of us even based our post-apocalyptic plans on it.
And so we frittered away our time with ol' Twinkie, piling him up willy-nillie,
stacking him like LEGOs:
and even deep-frying him:
(which I hear is delicious.)
But Twinkie also inspired the arts, creating a real buzz around town:
...and fostering some truly Despicable adorableness:
By Lynda of And Dipped In Chocolate
(We can only hope these were banana cream filled. "BANANA!")
Twinkie also played an integral part in many of our generation's weddings, joining forces with his fellow snack cakes to form a veritable pillar of class, convenience, and consternation:
Adding to the tragedy, Twinkies' fellow Hostess compatriots also share in his demise. Or, to put it more plainly: ding dong, the Ding Dong's dead.
Still, it's good to remember during this time of mourning that Twinkies brought people together.
And they had beef fat in them.
But mostly the people thing.
Dearest Twinkie, you were filled with cream, but we are filled with sadness.
Your spongy exterior may have been reinforced with bovine blubber,
but ours will crumble under the weight of our heavy, heavy loss.
Yea, though we walk through the aisle at Wal-Mart
with no Hostess boxes in sight,
we shall fear no hunger...
...for Little Debbie Swiss Rolls are still with us.
(Awww yeeeeeeah.)
Thanks to Mags, Lilla, & Annie S. for making me seriously crave some snack cakes right about now.
UPDATE: SuBee's comment today is too hysterical not to share:
"And the prophet said, cast ye your countenance toward the Walmart, and follow thy heart to the junk food aisle, for there the snack cakes are distributed in a manner wonderful to see. For the munchies are upon you, and the hunger is deep. Look with wonder upon the gifts you have been given. Of the puffed cheese and popped corn, you may eat, but not the HoHo. Of the jerky and Nutella and Doritos you may have your fill, but not the Twinkie. Of the potato chip, plain or barbecue, ranch or sugar coated, you may eat, but not the Donette. Of the oil based snack of dubious origin you may eat, but not the Ding Dong. Though your craving be deep, think not of the little chocolate cupcake with the white squiggle thereupon. For the punishment is upon us and Hostess is no more. And the people wept."
Lamentations 8:11-20
Thine comments hath madeth us laugheth out loudeth, SuBee. BLESS YOUR FACE.

Multiple sensations come into play in Court Theatre's production of "Skylight": smell, as the two main characters prepare a savory spaghetti sauce; light, as day turns into night and back into day; sound, as water cascades within a shower stall. But temperature trumps all on this frigid night in desolate North West London circa 1995. Indoors merges with outdoors in the dingy flat of Kyra Hollis, a schoolteacher in her late 20s or early 30s. We almost expect to see icicles hanging between patches of peeling paint on the ceiling. The soot-stained fireplace serves only as a mocking reminder that no heat will be forthcoming. This chill is at the heart of the drama. When Kyra and her former lover embrace at the end of the first part, it is like rubbing sticks together to light a fire in a gale: sparks may fly, but lasting ignition is unlikely.
Bringing out the sensual side of "Skylight" was a wise move on the part of director William Brown. Without that emphasis, British playwright David Hare's drama might appear to be more about warring political factions than about the gulf between people. At heart, "Skylight" is a love story, even as the onetime lovers substitute social commentary for pillow talk.
Without flesh-and-blood characters, the political diatribes would go unheard. But in this three-character play where only two characters are on stage at a time, the dialogue gains the intensity of real conversation, however implausible some of it might seem. As talky as Hare's script is, the actors hold our attention through 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Laura Rook, with her wide-set eyes and lithe body, fully inhabits the role of Kyra, exuding sexuality as she rails against consumerism and champions her underprivileged students. "Skylight" opens as Kyra returns to her frigid flat and is interrupted in her efforts to warm it by someone ringing insistently on the bell. That someone is 18-year-old Edward Sergeant, played by Matt Farabee with just the right mix of vulnerability and teenaged invincibility. Edward has come to tell Kyra that his mother, Alice, died a year ago, two years after Kyra abruptly left the family with whom she had lived for six years. According to Edward, Alice's death has sent his father, Tom, into a funk. Edward looks up to Kyra as a sort of big-sister figure who might know how to pull Tom out of that funk — a not unlikely possibility since Kyra had been having an affair with Tom, 20 years her senior, while living under the family roof.
Hare's device of sending in young Edward as a de facto narrator to get the exposition out of the way might be annoying to some, but Farabee is such a winning actor that his presence is welcome. The character also serves as an interesting foil for his father, who leans on the bell shortly after Edward exits.
Given the setup, we're not surprised when Tom appears, and we're naturally curious about how the encounter will go. Tom is a wealthy restaurateur — although he reminds Kyra that his origins were more humble than hers — who tried to have it all: wealth, wife and mistress under one roof. Now he is left with only his money and his own company. Philip Earl Johnson puts plenty of energy into his portrayal of Tom but is not altogether convincing in the role — or it may be that Hare's Tom is not a fully convincing character. Thanks to dialect coach Eva Breneman, all three actors do a bang-up job with their accents.
Todd Rosenthal's scenic design enhances the production with a finely detailed set that stretches into the back reaches of the stage. (Don't expect to see a skylight, however. The play takes its name from the beautiful sky-lit room Tom created for his wife to die in.) In place of solid walls, a grid of utility pipes defines the space while leaving it open to the elements, highlighting a backdrop of falling snow in the second part. The effect is at once dazzling and chilling, a little like Hare's play. Brrr.

Bluesman B.B. King returns to Mississippi hometown
Blues superstar B.B. King is returning to the grounds of the old Mississippi Delta cotton gin where as a teenager in the 1940s he worked as a tractor driver.
On Wednesday, the now 86-year-old King will be back in the tiny farming town of Indianola, Miss., to headline his own homecoming celebration. It's a tradition King and the community have enjoyed almost every year for more than three decades.
King and his band are scheduled to perform on the grounds of the former cotton gin, which is now a community center and part of the B.B. King Museum. King is also expected to perform later Wednesday night at Club Ebony, a music joint where King has performed throughout his career that he restored and donated to the museum.

In a January 5 Associated Press article, AP writer Leigh Strope made the unsupported claim that, under the Bush administration proposal to reduce promised Social Security benefits and supplement the system with private investment accounts, the combined retirement income of the two "would be expected" to equal or exceed benefits promised to retirees under the current system.
Strope wrote:
For example, a person retiring in 2012 with an annual income of $35,277 is promised $1,194 in monthly benefits, in 2001 dollars. If the formula is changed, the monthly benefit would be reduced by 0.9 percent to about $1,183 per month.
The younger the worker, the more dramatic the cuts. For a person retiring in 2075, the monthly promised benefit of $2,032 would be cut by 45.9 percent to $1,099 a month.
In each case, income from the worker's private account, funded with a portion of their Social Security tax, would be expected to at least make up the difference.
The Bush administration has not yet released a fully detailed proposal or offered concrete estimates of the proposal's expected effect on future retirement income. But The Washington Post paraphrased chief Social Security actuary Stephen Goss, who based his comments on a plan that "Republicans close to the White House" outlined for the Post, as saying that if such a plan is enacted, total expected retirement income -- including guaranteed Social Security benefits and income from the new private accounts -- "would not match the benefits currently being promised." The Post reported the example of a middle-income worker retiring in 2052 whose expected combined income would be 6 percent less than that promised under the current system.
Under any private account proposal, a portion of this income would depend on the performance of individual workers' investments. The numbers cited reflect expectations about average investment returns and would not apply equally to all workers. The average retiree would receive less retirement income than promised under current law, while others would potentially receive even less.
As Media Matters for America has previously noted, some economists believe that the assumptions about future equity returns -- on which the provided numbers are based -- are overly optimistic.

TWD – Tuesdays with Dorie
Mocha Brownie Cake
I decided to make a third of the recipe to fit in my 4½-inch spring form pan. After all, there's just two of us, so we don't need a chocolate cake for 12 people. It was just the perfect amount for the pan too. It rose into a dome quite a bit, but that just left me with some extra cake to taste as I assembled.

This plant was planted by my neighbour next to my Bunga Kantan. Initially I wanted to clear it, thinking it was weed. Then, my neighbour quickly came to me and told me it was one type of herbal plant used as a great detoxing supplements and consumed as a herbal drink. She later showed me its health benefits as illustrated in a Chinese Herbs magazine. The Chinese name of this plant is 马草, literally translated as "horse grass".
She said this plant was once very popular and widely sought after in Taiwan. It was even made into commercial skin caring juice, with advertisement claiming its effect in treating acne problems.
Later, I did some research and discovered the English common name for this plant was Napier Grass. Scientifically its species is Pennisetum and it belongs to Poaceae family. You can find more information on this page.
According to the Chinese wiki, this plant is rich in vitamin C and is claimed to contain the anti-oxidant and even the anti-cancer effects. It is good for treating swelling and easing stomach-ache. After knowing the goodness of the plant, instead of disposing it, I helped her to water the plants regularly.
The normal way to consume the plant is to blend the leaves and extract its juice to drink fresh without heating to prevent oxidization. It is also not advised to blend at higher than 900 rpm or above 50 ℃, as it will destroy its chlorophyll and vitamins.
However, instead of blending into juice which may taste a bit too raw to us, another way to consume it is to boil the grass along with its stalks and added with rock sugar to make into delicious herbal drink! The taste of the drink is very much similar to drinking Bamboo Sugar Cane, really tasty!
Beer anyone?No, this is the Chinese Herbal Napier Grass drink,
If you happen to find this plant growing wildly somewhere, do try to take some back and try out. It is such a great refreshing and cooling drink especially if you have symptoms of a "heaty" body such as sore throat and acne. Every now and then, I will pluck some to make herbal beverages for my family.

FREMONT — Residents here can load up their reusable shopping bags with grass-fed beef and gluten free options by the dozen with a trip to the city's first Whole Foods Market on Sept. 25, the official opening date for the long-awaited grocery store.
The newest Whole Foods store opens at 10 a.m., marking the official end of a decade-long battle by Fremont officials to attract the high-end, natural foods grocer and help fuel the city's ongoing downtown revitalization efforts. The natural foods grocer broke ground in January on the 39,000-square-foot store, which sits at corner of Paseo Padre Parkway and Mowry Avenue, transforming a once-vacant plot into a shopping destination. It includes a tap room of craft beer and electric car charging stations.
The Fremont store joins a growing collection in the East Bay, which includes stores in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Oakland, San Ramon, Berkeley, and soon Dublin. The grocer also has several South Bay locations, including a new San Jose store expected to open next year at Alameda and Stockton avenues.

The Nike Free TR 5 Flyknit Women's Training Shoe ups the ante with a new, lightweight Flyknit upper that adapts to the shape of your foot, offering a locked-down feel for cardio, strength training and other gym workouts that demand flexibility and support.

The one-piece Flyknit upper hugs your foot with a sock-like fit for incredible lightweight support. Breathable areas are seamlessly integrated in the Flyknit to provide cool comfort during your workout.

Supportive Fit
Molded foam lines the heel collar for a comfortable fit that helps lock your heel in place, and Flywire cables integrate with the laces to help stabilize your foot during agility training and cardio classes.
More Benefits
After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university's golf course, three of Nike's most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. In 2002, they examined a group of men and women with pressure measuring insoles taped to their feet, using high-speed cameras to capture images of each foot in motion. The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of shoeless running. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot's natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.

The other week, a man in Australia was siphoning gas from a car while smoking when he lit himself on fire. We thought he was the only person dumb enough to do this. Apparently he isn't. Stop smoking and siphoning.
Harry Suniville was siphoning gas from a nearly empty gas can in the back of a pickup bed while smoking. Guess what happened next.
Yep, he lit himself, the pickup truck the gas can was in, and his Mitsubishi Eclipse on fire. He only received minor burns, but didn't get away.
The fire burned off a tire on the Eclipse and police arrested him on multiple charges including criminal mischief. But that's neither here nor there.
Why people are smoking while stealing one of the most volatile and highly flammable liquids on Earth is beyond me. Jalopnik's official stance on smoking and siphoning is to not do it since it's dangerous.
We implore all of our readers to understand the dangers of smoking and siphoning and to think twice before doing it. If you have to smoke before you try and steal gas from someone, please put out your cigarette before committing the crime.
When it comes to siphoning, please, safety first.
