Feast of the Ascension
With Easter so much earlier this year, the end of the Easter season feasts are early as well. The weather in your area may not be conducive to a spring outing, but if it is, a spring hilltop picnic might be something to consider in your plans for this week. Even if you don't have a real hilltop nearby, just find the highest elevation around. It was suggested by a member on the 4 Real forums that a ride in a glass elevator on this day would be helpful to illustrate ascending as well. You could picnic on the top floor. It could be on Thursday which is the traditional 40 days after Easter when the Ascension feast was celebrated or over the weekend, specifically on Sunday when we celebrate liturgically the Feast of the Ascension.
What would the menu for an Ascension picnic include? There is not a set menu, but it is traditional to eat a bird of some sort (pigeon, pheasant, duck) since Jesus "flew" to heaven. In our culture chicken or turkey might be more common and available even though they are not know for their flight abilities.
Also any fruits as they represent Christ, the first fruit of all men. The Italians specifically brought beans and grapes to church on the feast of the Ascension. The grapes and beans were supposed to be used as a feast for the dead in heaven. These were blessed after the Memento of the Dead with the words,
Bless, O Lord, these new fruits of the vine which Thou hast brought to maturity by the dew of heaven, by plentiful rains and by tranquil and favorable weather. Thou hast given us this fruit for our use that we may receive it with thanks in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Possible Ascension Picnic Menu:
-Chicken or chicken salad sandwiches representing the birds
-Grapes for the first fruits
-Cream puffs for the "cloudy" cream filling
-Bubbly/carbonated drink (sparkling water, soda, sparkling cider) for the "rising" bubbles Pin It

I just wanted to thank you generous and creative ladies for this wonderful new blog. In particular I wished to let you know I REALLY appreciate that the posts are a few days earlier than the feast. This enables me to put the ideas in place, being a day ahead of you in the US (I'm in Australia) it makes the world of difference:):)
Erin http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com I'm so glad everyone is enjoying the ideas - and hopefully we'll be able to stay ahead like you mentioned. I know that helps!
Off the top of my head, Trina, I'm thinking some decorating ideas would be cotton batting puffed and spread out around the edges of altar for a cloud-like feel. Also do you have a statue of the resurrected Christ (even a Sacred Heart or other Jesus statue could work)? Take the statue and using clear line (like fishing line) hang it from the ceiling above the altar. Lightweight or nonbreakable resin would be best. I'm going to make a little Ascension diorama under a glass dome (adapted from idea in Paula Deen magazine from a few months ago). I hope to post a pic of that on my blog by Thursday.

A Reel Mower is a mower in which the blades spin vertically (north to south) and use a scissoring action to cut the blades of grass. A reel mower should have between three and seven blades, depending on the model type.
Specific information about the Brill Razorcut 38 Reel mower>>
A Reel mower snips the grass, cutting each blade like a pair of scissors. It's a precise, clean cut that makes for a healthier and more attractive lawn.
A Rotary Mower is a mower in which the blade spins horizontally (east to west) and uses a sucking and tearing action to cut the blades of grass. Rotary mowers usually have one blade which rotates very fast. The rotary mower design is simple and adapts very well to small engines. Rotary mowers can cut a wide variety of grass conditions. Rotary mowers are usually powered by gas engines or electric engines.
Mulching means laying a "blanket" of organic matter over the lawn which helps to retain moisture and add nutrients. With the cutting action of a reel mower you can leave reel clippings on the lawn. A reel mower creates a fine spray of clippings that act as a mulch and decompose quickly, releasing nitrogen into the lawn. Over the course of a cutting season, that mulch is equivalent to a free application of fertilizer.
Many states (24 at this writing) and Washington, D.C., have passed laws banning the disposal of yard waste, including grass clippings in landfills. According to the Composting Council, yard trimmings are the second largest component of municipal solid waste (18 percent or 35 million tons).The Professional Lawn Care Association of America is promoting Grasscycling. This term means either composting or mulching the clippings where they are produced.
PPM has enthusiatically developed an outreach page for gas mower emmissions and related research. Find:

I can't remember if I was dreaming or not but I saw another figure. It was in my room. I was not able to identify the gender, but it looked feminine. It was near my bed. I couldn't tell if it was looking at me, there were no facial features. I blinked and it was gone.
I combined this with some childhood nightmares of these figured coming after me and screaming. Trying to asphyxiate me. I never felt the pressure of the figure as it gripped my throat in the nightmare or reality.
I gave it a feel of dark and put the original figure I saw behind a door, giving the idea that there was no way out.
So scream. No one can hear you.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very good!
Finally, something inspiring
You really think it's inspiring? Aw, thank you. You're so kind!

Very nice, but frame joints blemished
By dtmaso
from San Francisco
Purchase Reason
Maybe it's wrong of me to expect perfection at a sale-price. In any case, as nice as a 'total' product this was, I can't stop fixating on imperfections apparent in the mitered frame joints. This is not the first time, either. I previously purchased a framed Marylin Monroe to discover the same thing. But what keeps me coming back to AllPosters is their selection, speedy delivery, and occasionally rock-bottom sale prices.

I loved this immediately when I saw it. It's different and fits the style of my room.

Bill Belichick and the Pats travel to face the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
Guess who's back, back again? Donovan McNabb has been the Redskins quarterback for all of a month and already he's on his way back to Philadelphia. The former Eagles' quarterback won't expect a warm welcome in the City of Brotherly Love as he's come to Philadelphia on a mission of revenge.
After being traded in the offseason, McNabb is all fired up to beat his former employers. Eagles fans shouldn't be overly worried. The Redskins just plain stink. This is a team with no weapons for McNabb to play with, a porous offensive line and a defense which was overmatched by the Rams.
Philadelphia meanwhile has Michael Vick, a serious MVP contender after just two and a half games as a starter. With DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek and Jeremy Maclin to play with, I like Vick to light up the Redskins defense. Bet on the Eagles as 6½-point favorites with Sports Interaction.
The 3-0 Steelers put their unbeaten record on the line against AFC North rivals Baltimore this weekend. Pittsburgh has started strongly thanks to a dominant defense and I expect more of the same this Sunday. The Jets showed that it's possible to push Baltimore close without playing well on offense. Pittsburgh's temporary starter Charlie Batch isn't prone to making big mistakes but he's not going to be setting passing records anytime soon either.
Top Odds at Sports to Action.
Instead look for the Steelers to move the ball on the ground. Rashard Mendenhall has racked up 332 yards at an average of 5.2 yards per attempt in the first three weeks of the season and he will be at the heart of the offense on Sunday. Bet on the Steelers as 1½-point favorites to win big with Sports Interaction.
The Bears are the only unbeaten team left in the NFC season and now they travel to New Meadowlands Stadium for a meeting with the Giants. New York has too much talent to keep playing as badly as it has the last two weeks. Chicago doesn't have the talent in its offensive line to keep Jay Cutler upright. That makes New York the pick here. Bet on the New York Giants to win big with Sports Interaction.
Monday Night Football sees the New England offense try and do everything it can to save the Patriots from their own defense. The Patriots defense was torn apart by Buffalo, a team contending for the first pick in next year's draft. I can't see Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker and friends doing enough to win a shootout. Bet on the Dolphins as 1-point underdogs to win big with Sports Interaction.

- Sustainable process for providing access to the records of the award entries developed.
Group Members & Roles
- Communicate with LAMA mentor and ALA contact
- Update wiki with project updates each month
- Monitor the work of the team

Meeting Notes from ALA Midwinter
Group met and assigned roles and responsibilities. Formulated a list of questions for LAMA Mentor and ALA Contact:
- What exactly is your vision of a finished product?
- How is the information about the entries/awards indexed now?
- What information, exactly, do you want accessed?
- Regarding the policy, who is allowed to access the actual entries? Is it confidential?

P90X: Muscle Confusion Two
This ain't your granddaddy's weight training program. It's too early to explain just what they are, exactly, but one thing that comes to mind consistently while doing the mc(muscle confusion)2 resistance workouts is a line Tony says in the preview to one of the P90X resistance workouts, "It's just good old fashioned weight training." P90X mc2 decidedly isn't that, so today we'll preview its weight training workouts.
In fact P90X wasn't really old fashioned either. One of the things that make it so successful is that its workouts are complex. It takes a while for most anyone to master it and that keeps your progression curve heading skyward. This, of course, is part of our overall strategy for the program. By creating some amount of what our marketing team coined "muscle confusion" your body keeps adapting, and this prolongs the period of time it takes before you master the program and start to plateau.
But compared to mc2, 90x is old fashioned. Not only have we designed workouts that keep you adapting longer, they also target laser-specific weakness in the body that occur across a broad spectrum of the population. In the most laymen of explanations, this means that your muscles will not only grow and get strong, but they will do it in a way that's forcing your body to use them more effectively. So as your muscles grow they are also going to work better from a biomechanical perspective. This means, quite simply, that beyond just improving how you look you are going to get better at doing stuff.
The first time you go through these workout it's going to feel strange to most of you. At times you're spending so much focus on holding the various positions that you may hardly move any weight. As your balance improves so will your ability to move more weight but, more importantly, you'll be moving it with a more harmonious kinetic chain. This you'll notice in your movements as everything you do in your daily life that requires you body to move will become easier. It's the kind of feeling that's addicting in an "I never thought this was possible" sorta way. Once you've felt it you'll never want to go back, which challenges us to keep coming up with new and better stuff.
If this seems like a brush over of nearly half of the program's workouts, consider that it's really all you need to know. Decide, commit, and you'll succeed beyond what you realized was possible.

Bet you'd be surprised at how flexible and athletic Arnold was. Cant wait for mc2, very much looking forward to the release date, and getting ready for it with p90x!
- David said...
Maybe this is already been posted but will you provide list of equipment you'll need for mc2 beyond what was needed for the original P90X? It seems like you'll need a jump rope, a stability ball, and at least a partial set of medicine balls.
The more I read about this program, the more excited I am for it to come out! I've done P90X, Insanity & I'm going through P90X w/ Plus Workouts included right now & plan on doing a P90X/Insanity hybrid after... All to prepare the best I can for the next evolution in home fitness P90X:MC2. As someone who loves basketball, what can I expect to see improvements on specifically for my sport w/ this program?
Yeah I'm wondering what equipment is needed so I can plan my budget accordingly
- Steve Edwards said...
Huge bball improvements: jump highly, lateram mobility will improve, quickness, etc.
Equip is optional but the more you invest the better the returns. A stability ball for sure, a foam roller (or equiv), a few medicine balls of different weight, weight, and a pull-up bar assist and one exercise band will all add to the effectiveness of the program. - 1:04 PM
- Steve Edwards said...
btw, not pointing a finger at Arnold himself, just that generation of bodybuilder and his pics are often the most fun. He was a fantastic athlete, as most champions are in any sport.
Will the MC2 resistance workouts focus more on muscular growth or endurance? - 1:59 PM
- Adam said...
Love this blog and each entry about MC2 gets me excited for the program to come out. I've done P90x, p90x+, and Insanity, and hybrids of those. Looking forward to ASYLUM as well. Keep wanting ways to switch things up so that I get to the next level! Keep the reports coming and advice for work out nuts to structure our current programs to get us ready.
- Steve Edwards said...
It will focus on all aspects of muscular development and you'll be able to structure it for your goals/needs. It will teach you how to activate all stabilizer muscles along with your prime movers, develop atrophied muscles until you have muscular balance, hypertrophy relevant muscles as necessary, and then make those muscles strong, powerful, efficient. - 3:03 PM
- Brian said...
I hate to be a jack*ss but what we're doing with P90X and other Beachbody programs doesn't compare to modern bodybuilding... Beachbody is about fitness, health and functional movement and performance... modern bodybuilding is about chemical manipulation of the body for the most ridiculous look... Arnold may be big (and the modern guys even bigger - to the point of looking absurd) but it's fake because it's drug induced... and it GOES AWAY when the drugs stop... I only mention this as a contrast to the hard work and real world benefits of Beachbody fitness... it's comparing apples to oranges... organic washington grown apples to antibotic, steroid laden lab grown gigantic apples (that taste crappy)

"By creating some amount of what our marketing team coined "muscle confusion"..."
Joe Weider used this term decades ago. Not a new idea.
While I don't disparage your product it's a bit disingenuous to claim "our marketing team coined" the phrase. - 5:43 AM
- Steve Edwards said...
Not disingenuous. I was in the meeting where it happened and I'm quite certain I was the only person in that room who'd heard of Joe Weider. Also, given that it was used to in relation to an explaination I was giving on periodizational training--something I've never heard Weider speak about--I'm crediting our version of the slogan to our marketing team.
I was already almost fit (and to some extent thin) when I began P90X and then P90X+. After going through two complete rounds of P90X I realized I needed to adjust some of the workouts or I'd lose even more muscle rather than gain mass. Would I have to make some adjustments with MC2 and if so, right from the beginning or after mastering the moves to some extent?
Mind you I am not trying to become ridiculously big. But since I am just a tad over 160 pounds now, I'd definitely want MC2 to take me to the next level exactly the way you described in your note but also help me gain more mass.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

- Trainer T.s Fitness said...
PUMPED about this MC2 and I love Arnie he was the bomb then. Plus he still inspires so many so thanks for the great pic.
- David said...
How will this compare to how the TRX workouts hit your body? It seems, having run through all their workouts over the past few months, including the Kettlebell routines, that the TRX really targeted functional parts of my body where P90X, P90X+ and the OoO's did not. Namely speaking, the postural muscles in my Back and the back, cuff parts of my shoulders, my hip flexors and my core. It has just annihilated those. I thought I was in shape 18-months and -50lbs.
Not that I care, but Tony credits The Weider System of Bodybuilding in the Diamond Delts OoO. That is why I bought it and read it. I have deduced that P90X basically is basically an incorporation of a bunch of the Weider Principals, not just Muscle Confusion. You guys did a great job setting up a system with a plan of it. It's okay to cop to it!
dpj - 2:30 PM
- The Big Engine said...
I'm a little surprised by how interested I am to see how this program works. I'll be looking for a copy when it's available.
Will it build more size? A lot of "core" people tend to be really small. Does all this functional movement lead to hypertrophy? Someone mentioned TRX. Most of those people have no size either.
How does awkward balance postures build biceps? - 9:47 AM
After 5 rounds of P90X....I CANNOT WAIT!!
Steve, thanks for all of the previews of MC2!!
just curious.......but will the MC2 workouts, on the whole, be shorter than the 60-90 min workouts in P90X?
or, will there be options/guides to shorten the workouts?
thanks. - 7:28 PM
The Big Engine wishes he could understand these people who want to get big. All The Big Engine wants is to be just as powerful, but smaller.
All The Dude wanted was his rug back. - 9:58 PM
- Chad said...
What are the fitness requirements before starting MC2? The same as P90X?
- p90x workout said...
should we first complete P90x and then turn to P90x mc2 ?
Or just start P90x mc2 from the very begining ? - 8:59 PM

Aurora Over Yellowknife By: Yuichi Takasaka |
Region: Americas Site: Northwest Territories - Canada Date: September 2009 | |||
As seen on Astronomy Picture of the Day a picturesque lake lies in front of you with a beautiful green auroras flap high above you. Stars shine far in the distance, and a brilliant moon shines just ahead of you. This digitally fused panorama is captured from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, and includes the Pleiades open cluster of stars just to the upper right of the Moon. Early Autumn is known as aurora season for noted average increases in auroras. The reason for the yearly increase is not known for sure, but possibly relates to the tilt of the Earth creating a more easily traversable connection between the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field of the Sun's changing wind streams.

Kesa Electricals was confident that the sale of its Comet electrical retail chain would be completed as agreed, despite the group slumping into the red in the first half.
The electrical retail group, which owns Darty in France as well as the 248-store Comet chain in the UK, reported a €9.2m (£7.8m) loss in the six months to November, as weak consumer spending quadrupled the deficit at its British operation to €25.7m. Group revenue fell by 7.6 per cent to €2.6bn, as Comet's sales dived by 21 per cent to €683m.
The poor performance of Comet fuelled speculation that OpCapital, the investment group that last month agreed to buy the UK chain from Kesa for a nominal €2m, may struggle to raise the €46.8m of working capital required under the terms of the deal. That loan will be secured against Comet's assets.
However, Kesa chairman David Newlands insisted yesterday that the deal was on track to complete on 3 February. Meanwhile, Thierry Falque-Pierrotin, chief executive, said the situation showed little sign of improvement.
Mr Falque-Pierrotin said: "We have experienced weakening market conditions in the first half of the year. What we've been seeing since the start of the third quarter for us (starting 1 November) is actually the same trends that we saw at the end of the second quarter. It's a declining market but on the same negative numbers we saw at the end of the second quarter.
"We are well prepared for peak season and in the face of ongoing tough market conditions are adjusting our cost to serve."
As part of its deal with OpCapital, Kesa agreed to give the investment firm €58.6m and to take on its pension scheme in return for taking the chain off its hands. Overall, Kesa will take a total writedown of €200m on the deal.

A place to showcase my creations and share tips, techniques, experiences, and a little bit of myself.
Monday, May 27, 2013
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!! I have a quick card to share with you all. I purchased this stamp set last weekend while at my LSS. I could not wait to get the chance to play with it. I'm also really digging paper piecing images lately. Makes for a quick card.
The stamped image is Puddle Jumper from MY FAVORITE THINGS. The patterned paper is from my scrap stash and the pearls are from K&Company. I didn't like the look of the white pearls so I colored them with my Copics to make them match my patterned paper. I also didn't have the right colored twine, so I colored it as well.
Well I'm off to spend more time in my craft studio. I hope everyone finds a little time to create today as well.

Blog award posts are fun, but I think the people we award sometimes get lost beneath the questions we answer to accept the award. So, I decided to make a whole, new post just to spotlight the blogs to which I'm passing this along.
1. Imperfect is a blog about a newlywed couple's adventures in decorating and making a home.
2. Apartment 412 is back and she's blogging like mad again! Do you notice a trend? I like reading blogs written by people exploring their new homes and adapting grand ideas to fit their lives.
3. Blue Hydrangea already got a blog award from me, but I don't care about repeating. I love her blog!
4. Casa Sugar might be five people and it might be one. I doubt he/she/they will respond to this, but I'm going to give it a shot.
5. Spark! is my new, favorite local blog. Ada-Marie lives in Richmond and has so much great eye candy on her blog.
There you go, kids! Take it and run!

i cant edit the style.css because it says that i should change the permissions first... so i changed the permissions from studio-asset-css-style.css to 777, but it doesnt work yet... does anyone know what i`m doing wrong?
Indexhibit version: 2.0
Thread is resolved.
i cant edit the style.css because it says that i should change the permissions first... so i changed the permissions from studio-asset-css-style.css to 777, but it doesnt work yet... does anyone know what i`m doing wrong?
i have the same problem.. in the Theme menu the only option is the default and in my assets there is no style.css. i have changed permissions to 777 but how to access the style sheet?
basically the style.css file isn't appearing in the assets section. any reason for this? don't feel like i had this problem before
I don't know why it's not appearring in Assets...
You can always check and edit files with you ftp application and a code editor.
yeah it's odd.. any other ideas about why it wouldn't appear in the indexhibit back-end? would be nice to have as it's more convenient making changes
i've only got these in the Template (default) list :
forgive me if i'm being stupid
Because it's not there?
Because the permissions are not right?
If the other things show up, then it's working - one of the two is wrong.
Or, your host had mod_security doing it's stupid stuff and you need to ask them to resolve it.
Hmm it's weird, I've not had this before. Changed the permissions on the entire Assets folder to 777 but nothing changes.
I'll contact the host and try to work it out.
Why the assets folder? That is not something that is even editable from the CMS. The editable parts are in the ndxzsite folder.
yeah i just changed the permissions of the entire folder (probably a dumb move), however asset>css>style.css was also changed first to 777 to no avail. hmm, that's all in the ndxzstudio folder tho :/ should there be a style.css in the Default folder in ndxzsite?
i just spoke with someone from justhost but they had no idea what it could be
Ask them about mod_security.
If the file is there, with proper permissions, and nothing else is wrong, and because all the other files are there, it will appear.
Otherwise, simply use an FTP and text editor to edit the file.
This thread has been closed, thank you.

Colombian Maritime Narcotics Trafficker Sentenced to 25 Years in Federal Prison
TAMPA, FL—U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew today sentenced Arley Fernando Garces (34, Colombia) to 25 years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine while on board a vessel subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and conspiracy to do the same, in violation of the U.S. Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act. Garces pleaded guilty on April 14, 2014. Garces is the last of three co-defendants to be sentenced in this case. Judge Bucklew previously sentenced Santos Cerros-Maldonado to 12 years and four months' imprisonment. Gregorio Campo-Rodriguez was sentenced to seven years and three months in federal prison.
According to court documents and testimony, on August 19, 2013, the United States Coast Guard interdicted Garces, Campo-Rodriguez and Cerros-Maldonado onboard a stateless vessel in the Caribbean Sea. During the interdiction, individuals onboard that vessel jettisoned electronics, personal identifying information, and one kilogram of cocaine. Investigators later determined that Garces and his co-conspirators were smuggling hundreds of kilograms of cocaine in a false bottom of that vessel.
This case was investigated by the Panama Express South Strike Force, a standing Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation comprised of agents and analysts from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Coast Guard Investigative Service, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and U.S. Southern Command's Joint Interagency Task Force South. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking and money laundering organizations and those primarily responsible for the nation's drug supply.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Michael J. Meyer and Assistant United States Attorney Maria Chapa-Lopez.

About this Add-on
Very useful for WGET --load-cookies option.
This extension was written as a replacement for the Export Cookies extension that seems not to be updated any longer and was in turn written as a replacement for the old allcookies extension for the same reason.
------------ Description --------------------------
The mandatory companion tool for downloading sites with WGET
A very minimum extension : no psychedelic design. Just the needed feature.
Why you need it? Many web sites are protected by either
-> authentication forms
-> Captchas ("Please enter the following code...")
-> vicious access rules like "you must first see some introductory or advertisement pages"
-> JavaScripts ("Please wait XY seconds...")
Such sites can't be downloaded with the well known WGET tool - usually
Export Cookies is the answer to this kind of restrictions.
-------- How it works ------------------
A typical scenario to download a web site with WGET becomes:
* Using Firefox, browse to the desired web site
* Go through all authentication, captcha, ... stuff
* Execute Export Cookies (just a simple item added in Firefox Tools menu) to make cookies.txt file
* Launch wget with

- Published on 18 December 2014

TOP Zanu-PF officials were yesterday arrested for allegedly defrauding more than 15,000 farmers of their hard-earned cash through a dubious input scheme.
Police arrested Zanu-PF national youth league director Cde Tapiwa Zengeya and Patience Chipere — one of the directors of Lasch Investments — a company engaged to supply farmers with some inputs.
Police spokesperson, Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba, yesterday confirmed the arrests saying two other people wanted in connection with the case were on the run.
"We've arrested two officials and police are keen to investigate Nelson and Sylvester Mahupete," she said.
Zanu-PF secretary for administration Cde Ignatius Chombo, condemned the corrupt conduct of the officials saying the party would take necessary disciplinary measures.
"As a party, we condemn the abuse of hard earned resources of our populace. Any empowerment initiatives must be in the interest of the majority and not for the benefit of a selected few and must be clear, transparent, fair, legal and above board," said Cde Chombo.
Cde Chombo deplored Lasch Investments for failing to meet their obligations, leaving farmers stranded with no recourse against a background of the commencement of a promising rainy season.
He said Lasch Investments Company had approached the party's Youth League to enter into a joint venture support with farmers so as to increase production and productivity through an input support scheme.
It was envisaged that farmers would make contributions and in turn get agricultural inputs.

It's Raining--AGAIN
It' raining it's pouring the old man is snoring ---and this the only time that the snoring isn't annoying!! LOL We woke up to rain dancing on our rooftop again this morning. It is such a welcome sound that it is truly deserving of a blog post two days in a row from one who only seems to manage an erratic post once or twice a month. :) My volunteer zinnias are doing a happy rain dance, and my surviving seedlings are joining in. The birds were so excited yesterday that I had birds all over the yard that I haven't seen in a couple of months, even my regular dwellers here at Ships Landing, like the Finches and Bluebirds. I think everybody had been on vacation in a place that was a bit cooler and wetter than it has been here this Summer. :P

Rain!! Splish Splash They Were Taking A Bath
It has rained ALL DAY here at Ships Landing!!! We have not had this kind of steady, all-day rain in so many months that I can't even remember the last time. It has been the most wonderful kind of piddling, sorting, blog-hopping, kind of day--and I've loved EVERY WET MINUTE OF IT!,

It creeps in on a misty dawn and vanishes in the hot afternoon. It tiptoes through the treetops, roughing a few leaves, then rides a tuft of thistledown across the valley and away. It sits on a hilltop and hoots like an October owl in the dusk. It plays tag with the wind. Autumn is a changeling, busy as a squirrel in a hickory tree, idle as the languid brook. It is August ended, October inevitable, summer's ripeness and richness fulfilled in sweet September." Hal Borland's Twelve Moons of the Year

Ask Chef Boy AriBaby StepsQ: I have an Oster blender. I paid $29 for it at Wally and it seems the blades stop blending due to things being too thick. What do I do? Add liquid first then fruit or fruit then liquid? Also, which is better for making baby food--a blender or a food processor? The blender is easier to clean. —Blender Bound A: It's better to start with enough liquid in the blender to get a good vortex going and then add your solids, like fruit, to the already-whirling material. You can also chop the solids before adding them to the blender; start the blender on low before increasing the speed. A blender will work fine for baby food, the ingredients of which are generally cooked until they're falling-apart soft before blending. Better to steam your baby's veggies with just a little water, then use that water in the blender to help liquefy the solids. But before adding your baby food or steam water to the blender, let it cool first. Hot water can soften and loosen the rubber gasket at the base of the blender, allowing leakage. Of more concern is the possibility of putting too much hot material in the blender and turning it straight to high, causing the pressure in the blender to spike and blow the lid off, splattering hot baby food onto your face and kitchen. I speak from experience here; the wounds are still raw. Last week I simmered some dried chiles in chicken stock and then put the whole business into the blender. After it exploded in my face I had both boiling water and chile heat to contend with, and I cried like a baby.

Explaining Low Annuity Demand: An Optimal Portfolio Application to Japan
Using an optimizing financial planning model in the tradition of Merton and Richard we explore how individuals should determine their life insurance and annuity choices, given uncertainty about investment returns and mortality. Both consumption and bequests appear as arguments in the individual's preference function. The model explicitly recognizes the existence of social security in retirement, and of loadings on insurance premiums, due to administration costs in the life insurance and annuities markets. The model sheds light on the reasons for the thinness of voluntary life annuity markets worldwide. The relative importance of pre-existing annuitization through social security, the role of bequests, and premium loadings are quantitatively assessed within a single optimizing framework. Results are presented for a model specification calibrated to Japan. Copyright (c) The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2008.

Hit World Market last night on my usual wine run, and as I am often wont to do there, came away with an extra little treat. When I saw these eye catching geometric cotton mats for a cool $9.99, I couldn't resist. I'd been looking for a new bath mat and this fits the bill perfectly! They have blue, yellow, red, green, and purple (not pictured).
Reminds me of Jonathan Adler's Richard Nixon rug (left), but with a slightly Moroccan twist. Too bad they don't come in larger sizes!
Also loved this intricate crewel pillow, which would be perfectly at home in Anthro (and 4x the price!)

Peter Burke in his book on the Renaissance argues that one of the differences between Florence and Venice lay in their attitude to age. Florentines became citizens at the age of 14 and young Florentines could easily take part in politics: Venetians became citizens at the age of 21 and did not become politically active until they had accumulated much more experience. Burke suggests that this may be one of the reasons why Venice, famously according to Machiavelli a republic for stability, was a much more cautious and conservative place than Florence. Burke's induction might be wrong but he is not the only person to try and tie age to political attitudes. George Monbiot suggested today in the Guardian that age may influence the way that people think about global warming: he argues that as global warming is really a threat to life and livelihood, that older people who are more concerned with death than the young (because they are closer to it) may attempt to resist the idea more.
I do not know quite frankly whether either idea is true: but leaving aside obvious questions like pensions and healthcare, the aging of a population must change the way that a population responds to risk and to decision making. One interesting thing for example is the predeliction for younger populations to choose older leaders, whereas as the proportion of the old increases in the west, the desire for youthful leaders (Clinton, Bush, Obama, Blair, Cameron) has never been stronger. If you regard, as I do, government as a mechanism to take decisions the changing age profile of the population and of politicians must change the ways that those decisions are made. I don't know enough about the scholarship in this area: but I do think one of the fascinating dynamics of the next century will be that as in China, the US, Europe and eventually the rest of the world, the population becomes older, we may need new models for the ways that states behave.

Reports are coming in that Yahoo! have agreed to purchase online crowd-sourced content machine Associated Content for a rumored $100 million.
Associated Content, one of the largest article, photo, audio and video based content portal on the Internet currently has over 16 million monthly users and Yahoo! say that they hope to bring the content which is collected by some 380,000 contributors to their 600 million plus users, as well as thousands of advertisers.
Yahoo! also mention that they want to expand the Associated Content label, which is focused more in the US, to the rest of the world, adding more contributors and consumers to the project.
Once one of the most powerful media and search portals, it seems as though Yahoo! are trying to regain what they have lost in the past, and with a new slideshow feature bringing them back up in the running, plus the Associated Content acquisition, it seems like they will do just that.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Review: The New High End
by Ryan Smith on May 23, 2013 9:00 AM ESTSynthetics
As always we'll also take a quick look at synthetic performance, though as GTX 780 is just another GK110 card, there shouldn't be any surprises here. These tests are mostly for comparing cards from within a manufacturer, as opposed to directly comparing AMD and NVIDIA cards. We'll start with 3DMark Vantage's Pixel Fill test.
Pixel fill is traditionally bound by ROP and memory throughput, but with enough of both the bottleneck can shift back to the shader blocks. In this case that's exactly what happens, with the GTX 780 trailing GTX Titan by about the theoretical difference between the two cards. On the other hand it's very odd to see the GTX 680 get so close to the GTX 780 in this test, given the fact that the latter is more powerful in virtually every way possible.
Moving on, we have our 3DMark Vantage texture fillrate test, which does for texels and texture mapping units what the previous test does for ROPs.
Unlike pixel fill, texel fill is right where we expected it to come in compared to cards both above and below the GTX 690.
Finally we'll take a quick look at tessellation performance with TessMark.
NVIDIA's tessellation performance is strongly coupled to their SMX count, so the high number of SMXes (12) on the GTX 780 helps it keep well ahead of the pack. In fact we're a bit surprised it didn't fall behind GTX Titan by more than what we're seeing. On the other hand the lead over the GTX 580 is right where we'd expect it to be, showcasing the roughly trebled geometry performance of GTX 780 over GTX 580.

Glad to see the significant upgrade. I just hope that AMD forces the prices back down again soon. I hope the AMD release "at the end of the year" is closer to September than December. It'll be interesting to see how they stack up. BTW, I have shied away from AMD cards ever since I owned an X800 and had SERIOUS issues with the catalyst drivers (constant blue-screens, had to do a Windows clean-install to even get the card working for longer than a few minutes). I know this was a long time ago, and I've heard from numerous people that they're better now. Is this true? Reply -

On the "Total War: Shogun 2" page, you have the 2650x1440 graph posted twice. Reply -
JDG1980 - Saturday, May 25, 2013 - link
I don't think that the release of this card itself is problematic for Titan owners - everyone knows that GPU vendors start at the top and work their way down with new silicon, so this shouldn't have come as much of a surprise.
What I do find problematic is their refusal to push out BIOS-based fan controller improvements to Titan owners. *That* comes off as a slap in the face. Someone spends $1000 on a new video card, they deserve top-notch service and updates. Reply -
inighthawki - Saturday, May 25, 2013 - link
The typically swapchain format is something like R8G8B8A8 and the alpha channel is typically ignored (value of 0xFF typically written), since it is of no use to the OS, since it will not alpha blend with the rest of the GUI. You can create a 24-bit format, but it's very likely that for performance reasons, the driver will allocate it as if it were a 32-bit format, and not write to the upper 8 bits. The hardware is often only capable of writing to 32 bit aligned places, so its more beneficial for the hardware to just waste 8 bits of data and not have to do any fancy shifting to read or write from each pixel. I've actually seen cases where some drivers will allocate 8-bit formats as 32-bit formats, wasting 4x the space the user thought they were allocating. Reply -

As a current GTX580 owner running at 2560x1440, I don't have any want of upgrade, especially in compute performance. I think I'll hold out for at least one more generation, before deciding. Reply -
ahamling27 - Saturday, May 25, 2013 - link
As a GTX 560 Ti owner, I am chomping at the bit to pick up an upgrade. The Titan was out of the question, but the 780 looks a lot better at 65% of the cost for 90% of the performance. The only thing holding me back is that I'm still on z67 with a 2600k overclocked to 4.5 ghz. I don't see a need to rebuild my entire system as it's almost on par with the z77/3770. The problem is that I'm still on PCIe 2.0 and I'm worried that it would bottleneck a 780.
Considering a 780 is aimed at us with 5xx or lower cards, it doesn't make sense if we have to abandon our platform just to upgrade our graphics card. So could you maybe test a 780 on PCIe 2.0 vs 3.0 and let us know if it's going to bottleneck on 2.0? Reply -
Ogdin - Sunday, May 26, 2013 - link
There will be no bottleneck. Reply -
mapesdhs - Sunday, May 26, 2013 - link
Ogdin is right, it shouldn't be a bottleneck. And with a decent air cooler, you ought to be
able to get your 2600K to 5.0, so you have some headroom there aswell.
Lastly, you say you have a GTX 560 Ti. Are you aware that adding a 2nd card will give
performance akin to a GTX 670? And two 560 Tis oc'd is better than a stock 680 (VRAM
capacity not withstanding, ie. I'm assuming you have a 1GB card). Here's my 560Ti SLI
at stock:
and oc'd:
So, if you don't want the expense of an all new card for a while at the cost level of a 780,
but do want some extra performance in the meantime, then just get a 2nd 560Ti (good
prices on eBay these days), it will run very nicely indeed. My two Tis were only 177 UKP
total - less than half the cost of a 680, though atm I just run them at stock speed, don't
need the extra from an oc. The only caveat is VRAM, but that shouldn't be too much of
an issue unless you're running at 2560x1440, etc.

ahamling27 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - link
Thanks for the reply! I thought about SLI but ultimately the 1 GB of vram is really going to hurt going forward. I'm not going to grab a 780 right away, because I want to see what custom models come out in the next few weeks. Although, EVGA's ACX cooler looks nice, I just want to see some performance numbers before I bite the bullet.
Thanks again! Reply -
inighthawki - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - link
Your comment is inaccurate. Just because a game requires "only 512MB" of video ram doesn't mean that's all it'll use. Video memory can be streamed in on the fly as needed off the hard drive, and as a result you can easily use a lot if you wanted as a performance optimization. I would not be the least bit surprised to see games on next gen consoles using WAY more video memory than regular memory. Running a game that "requires" 512MB of VRAM on a GPU with 4GB of VRAM gives it 3.5GB more storage to cache higher resolution textures. Reply

How ridiculous. Buy it if you want to. But, anyone who thinks that careerist social climbers who work for giant media corporations run by billionaires aren't liberals to their bones just doesn't know what he's talking about. digby 3/25/2003 02:12:00 PM

Christmas Mini Tour
Since we have downsized I have been having a hard time getting in the mood to decorate for Christmas. It just seems the more I bring out of storage the more crowded my house feels. I'm not a fan of being crowded or living in clutter. But, it's what I have to deal with until we move, hopefully praying to happen in June.
So here's a piece of my Holiday home.
So here's a piece of my Holiday home.
A few decor items...
I made a couple Holiday mesh wreathes. You can find the tutorial here.
You can read all about my Tree Centerpiece here.
And, the last thing I made this Holiday season was my Holiday Candle table decor. You can read about it here...
When it comes to Christmas I am very traditional and one of those traditions is an Angel on the tree.
And, my beautiful manger set under the tree. The Willow Tree set was a gift from my husband and one of my favorite holiday decorations.
It's the first time in 8 yrs that we have not had a mantel so the stockings are hung on the cabinet with care.
My new purchase this year was this wire snowman Christmas card holder from Pier 1 Imports.
It's not much and not very exciting. But, I hope you enjoyed my little piece of Christmas in my home.
~Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS~
