Earlier this year for my birthday, I decided to buy myself a water lily. I ordered it online from Penlan Perennials.
My little lily arrived, was duly planted, and promptly withered and died. When moving house we were about to fling it out but realised that under the rotten mess, there were new shoots. So the lily moved house with us. Then sat in a plastic bag in the bathroom for about a week. Then got dumped in plant pot with an inch of water over it.
Then, for no logical reason, it decided to fight like a muthafuka!
To celebrate this little clear water revival we had going, I decided we needed biodiversity. Sadly the aquatic frogs in the fish shop were too delicate for al fresco living and the turtles were bought and returned within 12 hours. I fulfilled a childhood dream of having turtles, but they tried to eat the lily.
I know. Duh!
I then decided to take my little fish net, a glass jar and a reluctant husband (who eventually had more fun that he'll admit) down to Parc Ciutadella to gather pond creatures instead.
My ambitions were small. A water boatman, pond skater, water beetle or similar. I had no hopes of tadpoles or dragonfly larvae.
What we found instead was nothing but barren ponds. Even the big boating pond appeared to have nothing more than fish, turtles and crayfish (the cockroaches of the fresh water world). No insects. Zilch!
I'm naively shocked. Yes this is in the middle of a large crowded city, and we've made no place for the poor wee buggers, but insects are tenacious. They don't need a gilded invitation or the red carpet rolled out. They turn up, steal your spot on the couch, kick their shoes off, switch the telly on and ask for a beer.
A near complete absence of the single most important section of the ecosystem, from what I assumed was a natural oasis (park pond) makes me suspect the good city of Barcelona is waging chemical warfare on our little amigos.
Internet research threw up very little on treatment of water for public ponds. You can read the latest on pond conservation at the European Pond Conservation Network, but it's very boffin (UK Slang for scientist) orientated and has no papers on urban conservation. Boo!
One study which does look promising is the Reading Urban Pond Project by students at Reading University. The students have created several ponds in the city of Reading and then left them as blank canvases. They are now going to monitor nature's ability to populate these ponds and what level of biodiversity can be achieved by simply letting it be.
Have I revealed too much of my inner geek with this post?
Possibly. But…..
It's not all topless lesbians and waking up in a nest of beer cans people, it's also about making space for the frogs.
Start your biodiversity patch today! Bring back insects to Barcelona!

It was a show that used to air on Nickelodeon during the 90's. It had very real, and in some cases, relatable characters in it that despite the humor, there were also some serious issues covered in it as well. There was a down to earth, trustworthy kid desperately searching for his parents who went missing when he was a child (Arnold), a girl with an alcoholic mother and neglectful father who constantly forces her to live under her older sister's shadow (Helga), a man who only lives in the city because he is searching for his missing daughter who he had to give to a soldier during a war in Vietnam (Mr. Hyunh), a man who had been betrayed so many times by humans that he chose to live without them (Pigeon Man)... and so on.
Anyways, it was one of those shows that nobody really appreciates until they rewatch it when they're older.

A pretty alright show that used to be broadcasted on Nickelodeon. The main character was named Arnold, a kid who wore a kilt and whose head was shaped like a football. His best friend was named Gerald. Gerald had hair much like Marge Simpson from The Simpsons. There's a girl named Helga, who is a terrible, ugly girl with a unibrow and was in love with Arnold, but treated him like shit. The series had many, weird-ass people that seemed to be pariahs from society. One guy is Pigeonman, an old-timer who had sex with birds. He was eventually carried away by his pigeons to a far-off land. There was Stoopboy, a scumbag who was afraid to leave his stoop for whatever reason. He finally had the balls to leave his stoop.
Arnold's house would be stuffed with animals that would run outside everytime he opened the door. Animals included a cat, a dog, a pig, and more. There were also many Jews in his household.

One of the "not so old, but not too too old" shows Nickelodeon developed in the mid-90s. It was mainly about Arnold, a kid with a football shaped head. No one knows his last name. The show is mostly about his life and his friends and him being in the 4th grade. But the movie was stupid.
Gerald: "Hey Arnold! You want to go get ice cream from the Jolly-Olly Man?"
Arnold: (to Gerald): "Ok, let's go."

Hey Arnold was a popular television show on Nickelodeon. In this show, Arnold had a secret hand shake with his friends where they moved their thumbs and went "wa woah!" The Hey Arnold is a sex act, where you insert your pointer and your middle finger in the vagina, then with your thumb move it on the clit like they did in hey arnold. The sound affect is neccesary to do the move right.
"You know that chick at that party last week?...Anyways, we were in my room and I busted out the Hey Arnold and she totally loved it"

Cushing syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body has a high level of the hormone cortisol.
Alternative Names
Hypercortisolism; Cortisol excess
The most common cause of Cushing syndrome is taking too much glucocorticosteroid medicine. Prednisone, dexamethasone, and prednisolone are examples of this type of medicine. Glucocorticoids mimic the action of the body's natural hormone cortisol. These drugs are used to treat conditions such as asthma, skin inflammation, cancer, bowel disease, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis.
Other people develop Cushing syndrome because their bodies produce too much cortisol. This hormone is made in the
Cushing disease, which occurs when the pituitary gland makes too much of the hormone ACTH. ACTH then signals the adrenal glands to produce too much cortisol. A pituitary gland tumor can cause this condition.
- Tumor of the adrenal gland
- Tumor elsewhere in the body that produces corticotropin-releasing hormone
- Tumors elsewhere in the body that produce
ACTH( ectopic Cushing syndrome)
Most people with Cushing syndrome will have:
- Round, red, full face (
moon face)
- Slow growth rate in children
- Weight gain with fat accumulation on the trunk, but fat loss from the arms, legs, and buttocks (central obesity)
Skin changes that are often seen:
- Skin infections
- Purple marks (1/2 inch or more wide) called striae on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, and breasts
- Thin skin with easy bruising
Muscle and bone changes include:
- Backache, which occurs with routine activities
Bone pain or tenderness
- Collection of fat between the shoulders and above collar bone
- Rib and spine fractures caused by thinning of the bones
- Weak muscles, especially of the hips and shoulders
Women with Cushing syndrome often have:
- Excess hair growth on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs
- Periods that become irregular or stop
Men may have:
- Decreased or no desire for sex
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Mental changes, such as depression, anxiety, or changes in behavior Fatigue
- Headache
- Increased thirst and urination
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and the medicines you are taking. Tell the provider about all medicines you have been taking for the past several months.
Laboratory tests that may be done to diagnose Cushing syndrome and identify the cause are:
- Blood
cortisol levels Blood sugar
- Saliva cortisol levels
Dexamethasone suppression test
- 24-hour urine for
cortisoland creatinine ACTH level ACTH stimulation test
Tests to determine the cause or complications may include:
Abdominal CT
- Pituitary
MRI Bone mineral density
Treatment depends on the cause.
- Your doctor will instruct you to slowly decrease the medicine dosage. Stopping the medicine suddenly can be dangerous.
- If you cannot stop taking the medicine because of disease, your high blood sugar, high cholesterol levels, and bone thinning or
osteoporosisshould be closely monitored.
With Cushing syndrome caused by a pituitary or a tumor that releases ACTH (Cushing disease), you may need:
- Surgery to remove the tumor.
- Radiation after removal of a pituitary tumor in some cases.
- Cortisol replacement therapy after surgery and possibly lifelong.
With Cushing syndrome due to an
- You may need surgery to remove the tumor.
- If the tumor cannot be removed, you may need medicines to help block the release of cortisol.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Removing the tumor may lead to full recovery, but there is a chance that the condition will return.
Survival for people with ectopic tumors depends on the tumor type. Untreated, Cushing syndrome can be life-threatening.
Possible Complications
- Enlargement of pituitary tumor
Fracturesdue to osteoporosis
- High blood pressure
Kidney stones
- Serious infections
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Cushing syndrome.
If you take a corticosteroid, know the signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome. Getting treated early can help prevent any long-term effects of Cushing syndrome. If you use inhaled steroids, you can decrease your exposure to the steroids by using a spacer and by rinsing your mouth after breathing in the steroids.

These final, failing weeks have brought more than echoes of Timberwolves seasons past, when they went more than three years without winning an April game until doing so last week in Detroit.
They have clearly revealed -- particularly to coach Rick Adelman -- just how much more work needs to be done with a youthful roster that already is five years into a rebuilding process since superstar Kevin Garnett was traded.
"It really gives you an idea of the depth you have," Adelman said of a season-ending spiral in which his team has lost 12 of its past 13 games and 20 of its past 25.
Six weeks ago, the Timberwolves were 21-19 and aimed toward the playoffs for the first time since 2004, chugging toward May with Kevin Love's nightly double-doubles, Ricky Rubio's precocious playmaking and Nikola Pekovic's brawn and menacing tattoos leading the way.
Then Rubio tore up his knee and Pekovic limped toward season's end with bone spurs on his right ankle bothering him nearly every step of the way while Love's season ended eight games from the finish because of a concussion.
On Thursday, the Wolves will conclude their eighth consecutive losing season aware just how crucial the coming summer will be. The team still lacks mental toughness, not to mention a dependable shot blocker, bench depth and most noticeably players who can handle the ball, create plays and make shots from both wing positions.
Wolves owner Glen Taylor is bringing back President of Basketball Operations David Kahn for a fourth season because Taylor says he likes the job Kahn has done since he signed a three-year contract to run the team in May 2009.
Kahn drafted Rubio fifth overall a month later, then patiently waited two years until he signed him and brought him to the NBA last summer. He also patiently pursued Adelman for months last summer before signing him to replace fired Kurt Rambis, whom Kahn hired in his third month on the job.
Both moves are slam dunks on a managerial résumé that otherwise includes more than a few whiffs.
The Wolves have owned eight first-round draft picks in Kahn's three drafts, and the only one who looks like a bona-fide NBA star is Rubio. First-round picks Jonny Flynn and Lazar Hayward already are gone; considerable questions remain about top-four picks Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams; relatively low-cost gambles on Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Martell Webster and Darko Milicic haven't paid off; and Kahn traded Al Jefferson, now leading the Jazz into the playoffs, for nothing tangible so far.
All of it leads into a crucial summer, when the Wolves are without their own first-round pick -- traded away long ago by Kevin McHale -- but do have Utah's mid first-round pick in what is considered the deepest draft in years.
Somehow, someway, the Wolves must come away from this summer considerably improved, whether it's by developing Williams and Johnson, dealing a young player(s) and draft picks for a veteran player or signing a veteran free agent. Any of the three ways can change the complexion of a team that veteran J.J. Barea the other night said has too few players who care enough about winning.
"We have to be aggressive in all those areas," Adelman said. "We still have a really nice core group. We've got to get them healthy and we've got to add to those people."
That core group consists of Love, Rubio and Pekovic -- two of the three acquired by McHale when he was the team's top basketball executive -- and are complemented by guards Luke Ridnour and Barea, both of whom Kahn signed to free-agent contracts.
After that?
"I don't know," Adelman said. "But I've seen situations where you add two, three guys and suddenly you've really got something."
Summer of moves?
The Wolves could add Love's new $13 million salary and still clear more than $12 million for free agency if they let go Beasley, Randolph, Milicic, Webster and retiring Brad Miller. But they still would have to fill out those roster spots, and as many as six NBA teams could have $20 million or more to spend this summer when the Wolves' best options are difficult-to-sign restricted free agents -- O.J. Mayo, Eric Gordon, Nicolas Batum -- or perhaps overpaying unrestricted free agents Ray Allen or Landry Fields.
More likely is a trade for a player such as Kevin Martin, who played for Adelman twice and whose $13 million salary Houston wants to shed.
Love said he will lobby management to be "aggressive" in adding veterans. "I think we just need to make some moves," he said.
Adelman said he believes the team's young, vibrant nucleus will attract free agents.
"When you look at Kevin and you look at Ricky and the style that we're going to play, it's going to be good," Adelman said. "I think people will look at it. We have some pieces people would like to play with. I mean, this team was pretty good not long ago and let's face it, guys like to get paid. So if you can pay 'em and you have some people around? There are some positives here."
There'd be more positives if the Wolves could get more of this young talent to approach fulfilling their proverbial potential. Assistant coaches Bill Bayno and Shawn Respert will spend the summer in Los Angeles working with Williams and Johnson, among others.
"If you can't do it in free agency, if you can't do it with trades, then you you need to do it with the people you have on your team right now," Adelman said about improving the team. "Do we do that? That's what we have to evaluate and figure out. We've got some really good pieces to work with, but clearly we need to get a lot better."

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) may have tempered its ambition to regulate cross-border swaps, but whistleblowers abroad still will play an important role in preventing regulatory evasion.
In June 2012, the CFTC proposed sweeping regulation of swaps that cross U.S. borders. The proposal would have regulated all U.S.-facing swaps, and more than a few foreign firms would be subject to entity-level requirements. However, pushback from the industry and foreign regulators caused the CFTC to reassess.
The agency then offered a diluted proposal and took public comments, but the CFTC has yet to revisit the issue. Instead, in early December the CFTC issued a joint statement on global swap regulation with other G-20 regulators. The statement announced a consensus-based approach to cross-borders regulation.
The CFTC's authority and commitment to prosecute those who evade regulation appear unwavering and unquestioned — even when the evasion comes abroad.
We can expect such regulation to be like the IRS' enforcement focus on offshore financial centers. Regulatory arbitrage causes violators to engage in numerous complex schemes to park funds in favorable jurisdictions to evade U.S. tax liability.
Similarly, jurisdictions with lax oversight could draw firms seeking to avoid swap regulation. For example, firms may organize foreign subsidiaries, as opposed to branches, to avoid entity-level capitalization and management requirements.
For the time being, substantive cross-border regulation seems to have stalled.
To be sure, the CFTC may insist that individual swaps involving U.S. citizens meet new requirements, like mandatory clearing. Some entity-level requirements, like reporting, also may survive. This is because the CFTC has expressed the view that these requirements further critical oversight objectives.
But three things signal that the agency will adopt a position that is much more modest than the June 2012 proposal.
First, in addition to the diluted July proposal that the CFTC eventually offered, the CFTC's joint statement with G-20 regulators signals that the CFTC is now committed to a consensus-based approach that will guarantee a retreat from the CFTC's original, internationally unpopular proposal. Second, the agency has declined to issue final guidance despite closing the public comment period four months ago. The agency said it plans to issue the guidance, but it has declined to do so in several final rules that the agency has issued since the comment period. Finally, the long-awaited final rule on mandatory swap clearance made substantial concessions to the industry, signaling that the agency may do so again in the cross-border context.
Even if the CFTC takes an aggressive position on cross-border regulation, only the very largest foreign firms will be covered. This is because the mandatory swap clearance regulation exempts any participant whose annual swaps have a notional value of less than $8 billion (a threshold that will drop to $3 billion after a phase-in period) from the definition of "swap dealer" and "major swap participant." As such, only the largest firms will incur extensive regulation as swap dealers or major participants.

Barry M is one of my crack brands because they're really cheap and really good. They just brought out a new glitter collection and I completely fell for this one. I love it! It's so happy and sparkly and pretty. It's a combination of magenta, purple, aqua/turquoise and gold glitter (curiously, this looks more silver from afar) which I layered over a black base (Illamasqua Boosh). I had lots of compliments on this one from students, which just shows that political scientists have excellent taste.
This would be such a perfect party season polish, I think - I would totally wear this with an LBD to a Christmas do.
Which polishes are you planning to crack out to cheer up a dreary November?

Indiana did all it could to embrace the Navy tradition before the Hoosiers and Midshipmen kicked off Saturday night.
A prow from the U.S.S. Indiana had been installed in front of Memorial Stadium, dedicated in a pregame ceremony at which Indiana's president, the state's two senators and its congressman did their best to brag on the their naval prowess with the Secretary of the Navy in attendance. Twenty veterans of the World War II-era warship were given a standing ovation, as Sen. Joe Donnelly said it was only because of them that this game could be played.
What none of those figureheads could have expected, not even after Navy's upset win over Indiana last year, was that the Midshipmen beating a Big Ten team would become a yearly tradition.
Continuing to puzzle Indiana with a triple-option attack, Navy left with more than an old prow anchored in Bloomington, Ind., as the Midshipmen won, 41-35, in their season opener.
Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds was hobbled during the week, but he didn't show it Saturday, rushing for 127 yards and three touchdowns — his third career game with three scores and more than 100 yards.
All of this came after the passing of Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo's mother, Lamala, on Thursday night, with the Midshipmen wearing a heart-shaped decal with her initials on their shoulder pads.
"That was a battle, a heavyweight slugfest. They punched us, we'd punch them, back and forth," Niumatalolo said. "We were just lucky to come out with the win."
Navy didn't punt during the game, converting three fourth-down attempts, including a drive-sustaining, 2-yard gain by Reynolds that kept the ball in the Midshipmen's hands and helped Navy hold onto a 7-point lead with 2:30 to play.
From the first series, the Midshipmen had the Hoosiers on their heels.
The defense harassed Hoosiers quarterback Tre Roberson, who was flushed out of the pocket on two passing plays on an eventual three-and-out. The Midshipmen, meanwhile, went 88 yards on their first series, mixing in runs by five different ball carriers, including a 30-yard carry by slotback Geoffrey Whiteside on the first play of the drive. Reynolds capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Little was asked of Reynolds as a passer, with so many seams available for keepers and option pitches in the first half.
Gliding past the Hoosiers defense, the Midshipmen rushed for 255 yards on 35 carries in the first half, including 50 yards for Reynolds, 57 for slot back Darius Staten and a team-leading 88 for Whiteside on their way to a 24-14 first-half lead. The team finished with 444 yards on the ground.
The Midshipmen needed their running game late to hold off a rally from the Hoosiers, who were down 41-28 midway through the fourth quarter but cut it down to six.
"When they cut it, I was like, this is what we train for," said Darius Staten, who finished with 106 yards. "When we are done with conditioning and heading into the locker room, it might be three more sprints. Then we think it's going to be three more sprints and [Niumatalolo] gives us four more."
By running the ball with success, the Midshipmen were able to keep one of the Big Ten's most explosive offenses — a team that scored 73 points against Indiana State last week — off the field.
Navy defensive tackle Bernard Sarra clogged the middle and forced a negative gain on one fourth-down attempt by the Hoosiers in the first quarter. When the Hoosiers switched from Roberson to sophomore quarterback Nate Sudfeld, seemingly gaining some momentum in a drive down to the Navy 12, linebacker Chris Johnson stunted Indiana's push with a first-down interception in the flat.
It didn't take long, however, for Sudfeld to display why the Hoosiers offense had high expectations coming into the 2013 season. He brought Indiana back to within 10 points, at 17-7, with a 45-yard touchdown pass on the second play of a 79-yard drive.
Even as the Hoosiers crept forward, the Midshipmen continued to sustain long drives.
But Niumatalolo admitted after the game he did overcome some hesitancy in going for fourth down as often as he did, riding Reynolds during key moments in the game.
"Sometimes in coaching, we have all this computer analysis and reports and stuff and the percentages, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling," Niumatalolo said, referring in particular to Reynolds' last conversion in the fourth quarter. "I didn't want to give up the ball."
Niumatalolo was presented with one of the heart-shaped decals before the game, and he had no doubt his players could play with any a Big Ten team after Saturday night.
"I coach great kids," Niumatalolo said. "If anyone tries to tell you differently, or tries to paint a picture about those guys in that locker room, those kids in that locker room are as good of kids in the country. I just feel very fortunate."

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team was 0-2 against Morehead State during the regular season, but the Tigers beat the Eagles when it mattered most on Thursday night, 88-75.
Jordan Cyphers set a new career high with 23 points on 5-of-7 shooting. The Wichita, Kan. native was also 10-of-11 from the charity stripe.
Patrick Miller had his second consecutive double-double for TSU, finishing with 15 points and 10 assists.
Seniors and All-OVC Second Teamers Robert Covington and Kellen Thornton added 21 and 15 points, respectively, and combined for 18 of TSU's 35 rebounds.
TSU forced 17 turnovers in the game and outshot Morehead State, 48.3 percent to 42.4.
Morehead State's only lead was after scoring the game's opening basket, and TSU forced four turnovers during the next four minutes, sparking a 9-2 Tiger run. Highlighting the stretch was a steal by Miller, followed by a long cross-court pass ahead to Cyphers, which resulted in an old-fashioned three-point play for the Tigers.
Miller, the OVC's leader in assists at 5.5 per game, had five dimes in the first half alone.
The Tennessee State full-court press forced yet another Eagle miscue at the 13:42 mark and the ball ended up in the hands of Thornton. The senior missed a three, but five-foot-ten guard Jay Harris was there deep in the lane to clean up the mess. Harris's hoop put TSU in the driver's seat, 15-9.
A three by Covington with eight minutes to go in the half widened TSU's lead even farther and a layup by Miller a couple of possessions later made the score 27-13 in favor of the Tigers.
TSU eventually raised its advantage all the way to 15, but a 6-2 Morehead run to end the half made the score, 41-30, heading into the locker room.
The Tigers flew around on defense during the first 20 minutes, forcing nine turnovers and only allowing the Eagles to shoot 34.5 percent from the field (10-of-29).
Morehead State chipped away at TSU's lead and brought it down to nine during the second half's first three minutes, but then Covington took over. The senior first polished off a rim-rocking alley-oop and then swooshed a three on TSU's next possession, making the score 55-41.
Covington's scoring flurry moved him into seventh place on the school's all-time scoring list, passing Bernard Bailey's 1700 career points.
Following the Bellwood, Ill. product's milestone, Morehead State rattled off a 15-4 run to pull within three of the lead. Harris answered with a three and fast-break layup and TSU was back in control, 64-56.
It seemed as though the Tigers weathered the storm, as TSU went up by double-digits a few possessions later and never relinquished its big lead.
A three by Cyphers at the 1:20 mark gave the senior his career-tying 22nd point and ended Morehead's chances at a comeback.
With the win, TSU improves to 18-13 on the season and an ESPNU televised game against No.1 seeded Belmont at 6 p.m. tomorrow night.

Tartine Bakery, Bi-rite Creamery, Monument and Omnivore Books

One rushed afternoon in San Francisco, I took a bite of this croissant at Tartine Bakery, leaned back in my chair and thought: "How wonderful the world would be if there was a Tartine in every city." Of course, we would then need to clone Chad Robertson. Multiple times. An even more wonderful world. A somewhat selfish but definitely more reasonable version would be: "How wonderful my world ...

Ok this is not a rant or a complaint and is probably obvious to many people who are well into Wildemore...just an observation. (mild spoiler)
When they started the mithril coin feature, I vowed to use them as little as possible. I even congratulated myself on NOT using them. Oh I am such a good player, I don't need that etc. etc. Every once in a while, I might pop one after a long drawn out campaign to get back to the quest giver. So economical...
Then I got to High Knolls....And the Haunted Woods....And all the coming and goings from half hidden caves, Ent quest givers and lets not forget, you need a bank every now and then, even if there are strategically placed stables, vendors and item masters.
I have been spending Mithril coins like water! Do not want to slog through that forest of half chopped trees again. No sight lines, enemies behind every bush, not to mention unscalable walls blocking you at every turn.
I swear this is intentional! The Turbine overseers have outdone themselves. I am hooked. Broke my spirit it did....good thing I get 500TP per month! (~55 coins per month)

Watch how to make this recipe.
To prepare the roast:
Line a broiler or roasting pan with aluminum foil. Place the beef on the foil and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine the cilantro, garlic, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Puree until the mixture is a smooth paste. Rub the cilantro-garlic paste all over the roast, covering it completely. Allow the roast to marinate for at least 10 minutes to 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
Roast the beef for about 1 1/2 hours for rare or until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F. when inserted into the center. Cook for an additional 10 minutes for medium-rare or 20 minutes for medium doneness. Remove the roast from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to settle. While the roast rests, make the pesto.
To prepare the pesto:
In a food processor, combine the cilantro, pine nuts, garlic, horseradish, and salt. Puree until well combined. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of oil. Process until smooth. Add additional oil, if needed, until a drizzling consistency is reached.
To serve: Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the roast beef. Put a few slices of roast beef on the bottom of each sandwich roll. Drizzle the cilantro pesto directly on the beef.
For picnics, take the pesto along in a plastic container or squeeze bottle and add it just before eating.

Lucid Puppy - Linux for Legacy Computers
Bring on the Puppy!
One of the original targets of Linux was the under-powered computer gathering dust in the closet destined for electronic disposal. While that sounds like a noble goal, it isn't reality for the majority of today's Linux distributions. Xubuntu says it's for the limited resource computer, but even it has a minimum memory requirement of 256 MB. You probably won't have a very pleasant experience running Firefox on a machine with less than 512 MB of memory.
figure 1
There are a number of distributions targeted at minimal resource computers including DSL, Puppy Linux, Slitaz and Tiny Core Linux. For this review we decided to take a focused look at the latest version of Puppy Linux called LuPu 5.0.1. This release is based on Woof and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. The live CD is a mere 130 MB but does contain a lot of applications. As far as system requirements go, the Puppy Linux wiki says the current version will run on a 166 Mhz machine with at least 128 MB of memory.
Bring on the Puppy
We tested Puppy Linux on an old Compaq iPaq desktop computer with a 733 MHz Pentium III processor and 128 MB of memory. The original hard drive was a Western Digital 10 GB WD100AA. The built-in Intel graphics is not the best performer, but with Puppy Linux we were able to get a 1400X1050 display as the default max resolution. You, too, can own one of these screamers for a mere $60 from your favorite PC liquidator.
Puppy's live CD includes automated tools for creating a bootable USB or a local installation. Installing to a local hard drive is a little tricky but doable. Our first mistake was not initializing the hard drive beforehand. No problem as the Puppy installer includes GParted to make quick work of deleting and then partitioning your hard drive. Once this step was completed the rest of the installation went without a hitch.
The desktop uses Openbox/LXPanel. LXDE stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment and is specifically built with minimal resource computing in mind. If you haven't caught on by now, the common theme is "minimal resource computing". It's pretty much the same for available applications as well. All the core apps meet the requirement of running on a machine with limited performance CPU, graphics and memory.
Basic Apps
The base install of Puppy Linux includes all the applications a typical user might need for things like chat, e-mail, web browsing and word processing. Ayttm covers all the bases for chat including AIM, IRC, Jabber, MSN and Yahoo. For e-mail there's Sylpheed which includes support for IMAP4 and POP3 mail services. Puppy Browser is the default Web browser although you can install Firefox if you wish. Be aware that Firefox is a memory hog, and you'll see reduced performance if you choose to install and run it on an older machine. That being said, we gave it a spin, and it did work although the page rendering was slow at times.
figure 2
Abiword is an adequate word processor with features on par with something like Microsoft Works. It's not as full-featured as Open Office, but doesn't require as much in the way of system resources. Open Office is also available from the repository, but it also has a fairly hefty memory requirement. There's Gnumeric for doing spreadsheet work, mtPaint for basic graphics and Inkscape Lite for doing illustrations. For calendar, contacts and task management there's Osmo, although it's really just a standalone app with no current support for syncing with anything.
Installing new apps uses a tool on the desktop called quickpet. PET stands for Puppy's Extra Treats and is a package management system. In reality the files are actually tarballs with a built-in md5 checksum to test for file integrity after download. The Puppy Package Manager resembles other file management tools such as Synaptic Package Manager or Yast. It's essentially a basic GUI for installing new applications.

I've been trying to make another screenshot creepypasta, however it's not "flowing" very well. I wanted to do something else for more practice in the screenshot story style, but I'm not sure where to go with it.
Now, about NES Godzilla Creepypasta 2-
I have been considering it even while I was making the first one. Being positive, I think at least one more good story could be gotten from the material. It seems like even when I'm trying to come up with ideas for other things, my mind always wanders back to stuff I could do for this sequel.
It's not a sure thing though.
Since completing this story I've realized that my writing leaves a lot to be desired. I've always been more of an artist than a writer, and that is apparent in the story, sometimes to embarrassing extent.
If I were to make a sequel I would want it to be better than the original, otherwise it would be unnecessary. And I'm not sure I could write a better story.
The other thing is that making a screenshot story of this scale takes a huge amount of time and effort. I had to work on NGC in my free time without any assistance, and it took the majority of a year to create.
That being said, here are the ideas I had posted regarding a possible sequel. This is the list where the TvTropes mention of Rodan and the Seven Sins demons came from. Possible spoilers, if you're wary of that.
Possible title: Godzilla:Replay
A new guy (Carl) does indeed buy the game.
Unlike the 1st story, where the story all happened in one night and it's all in past tense, the 2nd story will have the new narrator play a world a day(Or one per week) and make a summary at the end of each one. He's not sure what will happen next.
The story focuses on Carl playing the same cartridge, except now the game has entirely reinvented itself from the start. It doesn't progress through the same "worlds" that Zach went through. I will attempt to add more new gameplay elements, and try for a less predictable flow of events.
There will be more of an emphasis on exploring what's in the game, seeing what it's capable of, testing it's limits, and hopefully figuring out WHY the game is the way it is. For example, early on Carl discovers that the game will only go into it's supernatural weirdness if only one person is watching the screen as it happens.
I'm considering having each world with a specific objective that has to be completed at the end to progress(Create Godzilla, Rescue Rodan), etc.
As for new monsters, game play stuff, etc:
First world is like an introductory world. Carl starts out with one monster - Godzillasaurus. Bosses consist of the Yog Trio, and the last boss of World 1 is a large ceratopsian dinosaur that is fought on "Lagos Island", just before the bomb hits. When the bomb hits, Godzillasaurus is transformed into Godzilla.
New bosses most likely to show up are:
Ganimes and Kameobas (completing Yog Trio) Mechagodzilla 90's, King Kong, Sanda/Gaira (Tag Team Fight) Kamacuras.
Instead of replacement monsters, a team of demons based off the Seven Sins
Rodan as a new playable character, revealed early on in the game. Plays the role of "flying monster" that Mothra did, only a bit better at combat.
New demonic villain:
Not a revived Red, not named after a color. Different kind of personality and tactics.
Quiz time! Some questions for the audience.
1. Would you want to see Godzilla:Replay?
2. What were your favorite parts of NES Godzilla Creepypasta?
3. What elements of the story worked best, and you would want to see more of in the sequel?
4. Conversely, which elements of the story didn't work, and you would want to see absent/less of/done differently in the sequel?
5. Do you have any other particular ideas regarding a sequel?
6. In the event that a sequel is started, would you be willing to offer assistance?
And I think that wraps it up. If you want to discuss things further without the awkward blog.com commenting system, I'm always hanging around on the Bogleech forums: http://z3.invisionfree.com/bogleech/index.php?act=idx

Distinguished Warfare Medal; New medal for cyber warriors
Andy and Mustang sent us this link. Both thought it might be satire, but it comes from the Associated Press, known for (un)intentional mistakes, but not satire. But anyway, it seems that the Pentagon is hard at work creating a new medal for those folks who stand-off from the war zone but participate in combat from their remote location;
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is expected to announce Wednesday that for the first time the Pentagon is creating a medal that can be awarded to troops who have a direct impact on combat operations, but do it from afar.
The Associated Press has learned that the new blue, red and white-ribboned Distinguished Warfare Medal will be awarded to individuals for "extraordinary achievement" related to a military operation that occurred after Sept. 11, 2001. But unlike other combat medals, it does not require the recipient risk his or her life to get it.
According to the AP, the new medal falls between a Bronze Star and Silver Star in order of precedence. I wonder if it comes with a valor device, you know, if they still take out the enemy but accidentally drop their Egg McMuffin on the floor, but recover it before the 5-second rule gets it.
Officials said the new medal will be the first combat-related award to be created since the Bronze Star in 1944.
According to the Pentagon criteria, the medal gives the military a way to recognize a single act that directly affects a combat operation, doesn't involve an act of valor, and warrants an award higher than the Bronze Star.
I guess I don't have to wonder whether it was Bite Me's idea or not.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Another "full on winter" storm predicted for Tuesday morning's commute could stage a repeat performance of the slippery, often impassable, conditions encountered by drivers on Monday.
In a weather briefing issued Monday afternoon, National Weather Service hydrologist Brian McInerny described the next wave of the storm system as "full on winter."
"The event will bring widespread snow across the state with some pretty good winds," he said.
Expected snow amounts range from 8 to 16 inches in northern mountains, 2 to 5 inches in valley areas, and 4 to 8 in central mountains. The storm will continue into Tuesday afternoon in valleys, and through Thursday in mountain areas.
The good news is that ski conditions have improved. But the downside of all that snow is more dangerous avalanche conditions in the backcountry, McInerny noted.
Sunday night's record-breaking snowstorm, compounded by a TRAX pedestrian accident, resulted in stop-and-go traffic Monday morning on I-15 in both directions and on surface roads into Salt Lake City. While the city said all of its 45 snowplows had been out all night clearing streets, residents were grumbling about road conditions, according to Art Raymond, spokesman for Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker.
"We're getting a lot of calls, of course, from folks who are having trouble," Raymond said Monday morning. "We can only do what can do."
The big snowstorm of several weeks ago followed by very cold temperatures created conditions that made Monday's plow work more difficult and slower, he said.
"Our snowplow crews are dealing with the effects of a substantial snowfall, a freezing event, and more snow," he said. "The snow that came down [Sunday into Monday morning] fell on frozen roads and it's difficult to get the blades all the way down to the asphalt."
Raymond said the priority was clearing arterial and collector roads, as well as those leading to emergency services. In residential areas, the city intentionally clears just a single lane to avoid blocking driveways, he said.
Impassable streets meant some UTA buses were diverted to special "snow routes" that avoid treacherous or unplowed streets, according to UTA spokesman Gerry Carpenter. He estimated that around a dozen buses were diverted, but by 10 a.m. all normal routes had been restored.
Larry Helquist, Salt Lake County Operations Division maintenance supervisor, said Monday that 80 trucks worked around the clock to clear roads in unincorporated areas of the county, as well as Holladay, Cottonwood Heights and Taylorsville. According to Helquist, the first crews began plowing at 3:30 p.m. Sunday and all trucks were working by 1:30 a.m. He said the trucks were deployed as needed, though they struggled to keep up with the snowfall until the storm cleared up late Monday morning.
Helquist said Cottonwood Heights was particularly hard hit, receiving as much as 10 inches of snow. Residents had complained that their driveways were blocked by plowed snow.
The messy commute kept Utah Highway Patrol troopers busy. In Salt Lake County, troopers responded to 29 crashes, including three with injuries, and 63 slideoffs, UHP spokesman Todd Johnson said. Drivers in Utah County were involved in just three crashes and five slideoffs. Only one person was injured in Utah County. None of the injury accidents were serious, Johnson said.
Not everyone was grumpy about the snow dump, however. Snowville, on the Utah-Idaho border, received the most snow of any Utah community, which seemed to delight at least some of the town's residents.
"There were lots of trucks in town [Sunday] that needed chains to go east," said Nancy Warren, who works at Mollie's Cafe. "Several are still here and just kicking it. The snow has been good for everything. We needed something. We were all freezing to death. The change of weather was good."
Sunday's overnight storm dropped 9.9 inches at Salt Lake International Airport, a record-breaking amount for that date, according to the National Weather Service. Twelve inches were reported in Centerville and Bountiful, 9 inches in Millcreek and 8.2 inches in South Salt Lake. Alta and Brighton saw 15 and 13 inches, respectively. The storm dropped as much as 7 inches of snow on Ogden.
The next leg of the storm will come with continued cold temperatures along the Wasatch Front. In Salt Lake City, Tuesday temperatures are expected to range into the upper-20s. Ogden and Provo will see similar temperatures.
In St. George, skies Tuesday will be mostly cloudy, with highs in the mid-40s.
While the heavy snow made travel difficult, it offered relief from weeks of inversion and polluted air. Salt Lake, Utah, Weber and Cache counties all were expected to have good air quality Tuesday. In Duchesne, a yellow air alert was expected, with unhealthy conditions for sensitive groups.
NWS forecaster Monica Traphagan said Utah is slowly moving out of inversion season. Though sporadic bad air days will likely continue through February, Traphagan said the Wasatch Front likely won't see more of the continuous stretches of bad air that plagued the region in January.
Tribune reporters Tom Wharton and Christopher Smart contributed to this story.

Extended forecast
In northern Utah, skies should clear after Thursday, with sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 30s forecasted for Salt Lake County. Southwestern Utah will see partly to mostly sunny skies this weekend, with highs near 60.

Skip to comments.Threat of lawsuit forces removal of 10 Commandments from classrooms
Posted on 05/14/2013 3:12:22 PM PDT by IbJensen
MULDROW -- It was standing room only in the spacious Muldrow Public Schools cafeteria as hundreds of area residents crowded into a School Board meeting Monday to discuss the Ten Commandments plaques posted in each classroom for two decades.
The plaques, which had been donated to the district in the early 1990s, were removed by Monday.
Many attendees arrived in vehicles upon which Christian slogans were written or posted. Many wore clothing proclaiming their religious beliefs. Many teens attended, wearing black "Don't Quit for Christ" T-shirts. Several elderly attendees clutched Bibles. Attendees' ages ranged from infant through senior citizen.
Muldrow First Assembly of God Senior Pastor Shawn Money, a representative of the Christian Muldrow Ministry Alliance, told school officials, "We understand the last two weeks have been very difficult for you. We support you. We're praying for you. ... We know that in 1980 the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to have the Ten Commandments in public schools for religious purposes. ... We disagree."
Many audience members called out "amens."
Money said the many Christians in attendance do believe the Ten Commandments have a place in public classrooms and that they are a foundation of our nation. He said the attendees are grateful the Commandments had been in the school for 20 years and hoped they would be again.
In an essay Money wrote and read, "I am the Ten Commandments," he stated that they were written first by God, passed down through generations and would endure until the end of time. The Ten Commandments, Money said, are the voice of morality and "the thread of the fabric that has held many nations together."
When he finished, the crowd shouted loud "amens" and gave Money a lengthy standing ovation.
When Board President Scott Chambers called for board discussion, there was none.
School attorney Jerry Richardson of Tulsa said he was not going to try to change the attendees' minds, nor would the school board want him to try.
"They wish the Ten Commandments could remain in the classrooms. Unfortunately, it is my unpleasant job to tell you the situation is otherwise," Richardson said.
The 1980 legal case cited by Money stemmed from a Kentucky law that mandated the placement of the Ten Commandments in public schools, Richardson said. The law was challenged and the lawsuit made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which not only ruled that it was unconstitutional, but the high court also stated that the Constitution guarantees not only freedom of religion but also freedom from religion, Richardson said.
Richardson told the crowd that early this month, the district had received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation threatening a lawsuit if the plaques were not removed. An unnamed Muldrow student had complained to the organization that the commandments were posted in every classroom.
A notice on the foundation's website states: "'We are pleased the school administration has removed the Ten Commandments in compliance with the Constitution. This is settled law. Public schools cannot advance or endorse religion,' said FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. She added, 'We hope the board will honor thy constitution and heed the advice of its attorney rather than to acquiesce to pressure from a religious mob.'"
The hundreds present at Monday's board meeting were calm and respectful, even applauding Richardson after he delivered news many would have preferred not to hear.
Chambers' voice choked as he told the audience the board wished it had another alternative, but removed the plaques rather than spend taxpayer money for costly legal fees that would be incurred fighting to keep them.
Two parents who did not identify themselves asked the board what rights their children had regarding religious expression.
Richardson told them their children also enjoyed freedom of speech and could wear and post anything that did not violate school policy. If the school permits nonreligious expressions, it cannot discriminate against religious expressions by the students. However, he said, the students cannot post such expressions on school property because that would be interpreted as school- or state-sponsored expression.
To a mother who asked if the students could post the Ten Commandments on their lockers, Superintendent Ron Flanagan responded that the district does not allow locker postings.
After the meeting, several attendees, not all of them local, expressed dismay at the removal of the religious plaques.
Freddie Gauntt of Fort Gibson said he attended "to help stand up for our beliefs in God."
He asked why one or two persons can change things in a Democratic society.
"It should have gone to a vote of the community. It upsets me that the federal government has a set of guidelines that are not godly in nature," Gauntt said.
An elderly lifelong Muldrow resident who declined to give her name said she attended the meeting because she believes in God and the commandments.
A Muldrow mother, Glenna Middleton, said she attended to support her eighth-grade daughter.
"My kid stood in prayer with her friends all week. This is a pivotal point in the community, and it is wrong that 10 people in there can change things," Middleton said.
Middleton's daughter, Taylor Middleton, said, "I think it's wrong, and we should keep it in our school. It's what we believe."
It's satan-inspired God-less crap like this that makes me believe our nation is closer now than at any time since the American Civil War to an armed rebellion to return this nation to what our founders were searching for a place where the Government is to protect its citizens, and allow them Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT of Happiness.
Taxpaying Americans pay for the buildings that the government uses as school buildings, etc. Since this means we own the buildings not the government or the school it should be up to the community majority to decide what is placed in their building.
Just another hate-filled Republican attack on a black man in the White House. (trademark)
In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.Take note that incitement of hostility or hatred on atheistic grounds was not prohibited under the USSRs constitution.
1936 USSR Constitution, Article 124
Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited. In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
1977 USSR Constitution, Article 52
Pull down the Ten Commandments and put up the directions to Planned Parenthood abortion clinics.
Because "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not bear false witness" are racist values.
Schools should forget the Ten Suggestions and teach more kindergarteners how to slide a condom over a banana and have visiting homosexuals explain to them the joy of aberrant sex.
If it isn't time now to take our nation back and attempt to instill moral awareness when will it be?
If these foolish mortals think God is pleased they will be in for a big surprise.
Taking down the Ten Commandments from school walls, along with George Washington's picture, is tantamount to getting measured for a rope with which to hang the millstone.
Everyone in that Arkansas school board who goes along with this sinful act is complicit in visiting sin upon children.
Opinion 1: These abuses will continue until the people put a stop to it.
Opinion 2: The people are excluded from the political process.
Draw your own conclusion.
'Hope that the citizens keep riding around with excerpts from the Bible and the 10 written on their vehicles. Let he atheists and Bible haters see them all the more. Maybe some of it will sink in if they see them everyday, all day
TAX REVOLT followed by mass exodus from public schools. It has to start somewhere and this is as good a place as any.
I wish I was rich. I would personally pay to fight these atheists.
Wouldn't it be fun for millions of Americans to mail FFR copies of the Ten Commandments?
I am praying for the total destruction of FFR, those who work for them, and their buildings. They are evil and I am sick of what they continue to do to America.
Regarding the courts not allowing the 10 Commandments to be displayed in public classrooms in the name of so-called constitutional separation of church and state powers, Christians are partly to blame for this abridgment of their 1st Amendment protected right to religious expression for the following reason imo. If Christians made sure that their children were taught the Constitution and its history as much as they make sure that their children are taught the Holy Bible, then Christians would be able to call the bluffs of anti-religious expression justices concerning things like being able to display the ten commandments in public schools.
From a related thread concerning prayers at graduation ...
More specifically, first note that regardless what FDR's activist justices wanted everybody to beileve about the Establishment Clause and Thomas Jefferson's "wall of separation," the real Thomas Jefferson had clarified the following about the religious aspects of the 1st and 10th Amendments. Jefferson had noted that the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment in part to clarify that the states had reserved government power to regulate (I say cultivate) religious expression to themselves, regardless that they had also made the 1st Amendment in part to prohibit such power to Congress entirely.
"3. Resolved that it is true as a general principle and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the constitution that the powers not delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people: and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the US. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, & were reserved, to the states or the people: that thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use should be tolerated rather than the use be destroyed (emphasis added); " --Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.
So given that the states have the power to regulate religion, the same power that enables the states to authorize creationism to be taught in public schools, there would have been no question up to the time that the 14th Amendment (14A) was ratified that displaying the 10 Commandments in public schools was constitutional. After all, the Bible used to be read aloud in public schools.
The 14th Amendment ultimately gave FDR's anti-state sovereignty / anti-religious expression justices a foothold to argue that 14A applied not only the 1st Amendment's personal religious protections to the states, but also the 1st Amendment's prohibition on Congress's power to regulate religion to state legislatures. This is evidenced by the following excerpt from Cantwell v. Connecticut.
"The First Amendment declares that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Fourteenth Amendment has rendered the legislatures of the states as incompetent as Congress to enact such laws. The constitutional inhibition of legislation on the subject of religion has a double aspect." --Mr. Justice Roberts, Cantwell v. State of Connecticut, 1940.
By arguing that 14A took away certain powers from the states, in this case the power to address religious issues which "atheist" Thomas Jefferson had clarified that they had, activist justices wrongly ignored the following. They ignored that John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of 14A, had officially clarified that 14A took away no state's rights.
"The adoption of the proposed amendment will take from the States no rights (emphasis added) that belong to the States." --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1866. (See second half of first column.)
"No right (emphasis added) reserved by the Constitution to the States should be impaired " --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1871. (See first half of first column.)
"Do gentlemen say that by so legislating we would strike down the rights of the State? God forbid. I believe our dual system of government essential to our national existance." --John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe. (See second half of third column.)
In fact, consider that Justice Reed had noted the following about the 10th and 14th Amendments. Justice Reed had indicated that it is the job of judges to balance 10A protected state powers with 14A protected rights, as opposed to spinning 14A as an excuse to rob the states of such powers.
"Conflicts in the exercise of rights arise and the conflicting forces seek adjustments in the courts, as do these parties, claiming on the one side the freedom of religion, speech and the press, guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment, and on the other the right to employ the sovereign power explicitly reserved to the State by the Tenth Amendment to ensure orderly living without which constitutional guarantees of civil liberties would be a mockery." --Justice Reed, Jones v. City of Opelika, 1942.
So the states still have the power to regulate religion regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about 14A, state power to regulate religion now limited by 14A as opposed to the PC idea that 14A took away such powers.
Again, the problem is that, regardless that Christian parents / guardians are making sure that their children are being taught the Holy Bible, Christians are evidently not making sure that their children are being taught the law of the land as constitutonal lawmakers had intended for it to be understood. Christians are therefore unsurprisingly suffering the consequences of their ignorance of their constitutionally protected religious freedoms by the hands of pagan judges.
This school needs to immediately contact one of the following organizations:
1) Thomas More Law Center; 2) Alliance Defending Freedom; 3) Liberty Counsel; 4) American Center for Law and Justice.
Each of these fine organizations take hundreds of these cases each year, with no cost to the school or municipality. They win just about every case they take.
Which version? The Jewish, Catholic, or Protestant version?
Which version? The Jewish, Catholic, or Protestant version?
To what are you referring?
Poland recently showed the world that they had the right idea and a way out of the separation of state and education.
Polish leaders have turned the entire education responsibility over to the Church.
Are you unaware that they are counted differently between the Jewish Catholic and Protestant religions? Which one is chosen by a government entity is a tacit endorsement of that version.
Amazingly it takes one parent/student to bend everyone to their will. But if the majority say NO to the leftist agenda they are mocked and ignored.
Alls I knows, Amigo, is that I get my Ten from the Douay-Rheims Bible. I always believed that God dished these Ten to Moses in that precise order.
Well those who God gave them to enumerated them differently.

Friday, May 08, 2009
BALTIMORE, 05-07-09---The story continues to develop as the field for the 134th Preakness® Stakes continues to take shape. The $1 million classic is the headline event of a 13-race card at historic Pimlico Race Course next Saturday, May 16.
Trainer Larry Jones said he will ship Friesan Fire, the Kentucky Derby favorite, to Pimlico Monday, May 11 with plans to work the Louisiana Derby (Grade II) winner five-furlongs at Old Hilltop on Tuesday morning then decide if the son of A.P. Indy will run in the Preakness. The colt suffered cuts in his left front foot while getting bumped shortly after the start of the "Run for the Roses".
Jones will also be bringing four horses for stakes races on Preakness weekend: Payton D'Oro (Grade II Black-Eyed Susan), Tammy's Victress (Grade II Allaire duPont Distaff), On The Menu (Grade III Miss Preakness) and Shytoe Lafeet (Grade III Gallorette).
At Pimlico this morning (6:30), Big Drama jogged two miles the wrong way under exercise rider and assistant trainer Celia Fawkes. A winner of five-of-seven races, including four stakes races as a two-year-old, the son of Montbrook set a track record for seven-furlongs at Gulfstream Park in the Grade II Swale Stakes, but was disqualified and placed second for jockey interference.
"We have been fortunate enough to have some pretty decent horses with us," said Celia Fawkes. "We had Take The Tour, who won a Grade I and Forty One Carats, who set two track records and still holds a track record going three-quarters. But this is a different ballgame. How many three-year-olds make it this far?"
Big Drama is expected to breeze Monday morning. John Velazquez has accepted the mount from trainer David Fawkes.
"He is a competitive horse," added Celia Fawkes. "He likes competition. He's funny in the morning. Half the reason why I like to train him when its quiet is that he hunts them down. He'll clock a horse and take them on and head on to the next one. He can get aggressive but he is very focused in the afternoon. He has made just shy of $900,000 and he certainly didn't do that without any talent."
Edgar Prado has been named to ride Take the Points for Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher. Prado won 24 riding titles at the major Maryland tracks during the 1990's but he has yet to hoist the Woodlawn Vase in Maryland's signature race in 11 tries. Take the Points has two wins in six career starts, both with Prado aboard, including an entry-level allowance at Gulfstream Park on January 31. Pletcher indicated the son of Even the Score will breeze either Saturday or Sunday at Belmont Park in his final prep for the Preakness.
In Kentucky, Stonestreet Stables and Harold McCormick's new purchase Rachel Alexandra began her new life in the care of trainer Steve Asmussen on Thursday morning by galloping once around a sloppy Churchill Downs main track under exercise rider Dominic Terry. The dominating, 20 ¼-length winner of last Friday's Kentucky Oaks (Grade I), Rachel Alexandra was sold by the L and M Partners of Dolphus Morrison and Michael Lauffer on Wednesday. Rachel Alexandra was transferred from trainer Hal Wiggins' barn to Asmussen's at 5:15 Thursday morning.
Jess Jackson, who campaigned two-time Horse of the Year and 2007 Preakness winner Curlin under his Stonestreet Stables colors, was asked what he thought of the latest addition to his stable after her morning exercise.
"She is a graceful athlete; she moves like a ballerina and has the size of some of the colts," Jackson said. "I am looking forward to seeing her compete."
Jackson was asked when the "ballerina" might run next.
"The ink is not even dry yet," Jackson said. "The only decision was to bring her to Steve's barn. No decision has been made on any race or a rider. Basically the same team is in place as we had with Curlin, and like Curlin, we will let her decide when she runs and where she runs."
Asmussen, who saddled Curlin to his Preakness victory, indicated that like most of his runners nine to 10 days after a race, Rachel Alexandra would have her first recorded workout on Sunday or Monday.
Pimlico was contacted by a representative of Stonestreet Stable on Tuesday inquiring about a supplement for an unspecified horse but has not heard from the camp since. Rachel Alexandra, who was not nominated to the Triple Crown, would have to be supplemented into the Preakness. She is not nominated to the Triple Crown and could only get into the middle jewel of the Triple Crown if less than 14 horses are entered and her connections pay a $100,000 supplementary nomination fee.
If she runs, Rachel Alexandra would be the first Oaks winner ever to run in the Preakness. Fifty-two fillies have competed in the Preakness with four crossing the finish line first: Flocarline (1903), Whimsical (1906), Rhine Maiden (1915) and Nellie Morse (1924). The most recent filly to run in the middle jewel was Excellent Meeting ten years ago.
Kentucky Derby 135 winner Mine That Bird galloped two times around the main track at Churchill Downs on Thursday morning before the renovation break with exercise rider Charlie Figueroa up. Trainer Bennie "Chip" Woolley Jr. expressed satisfaction with the morning activity and remains on track to bring Mine That Bird to Pimlico on Tuesday. Pimlico has arranged a police escort into Pimlico from Interstate 70 prior to the Baltimore Beltway.
"He is doing good and I am surprised how he has bounced back because he had to run hard," Woolley said. "But he is pretty easy on himself and doesn't pound the ground."
But the overriding issue Thursday morning was the possibility that Kentucky Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra could be supplemented to the Preakness and Woolley could possibly lose the services of jockey Calvin Borel, who swept the Oaks and Derby last weekend.
"I hope they go to the Acorn (on June 6 at Belmont Park) with that mare," Woolley said. "I told people that day that I was glad she was not in the Derby."
Woolley was bracing for the prospect of maybe losing his rider.
"It's a possibility; it could happen," Woolley said. "But I don't think I will have a hard time finding a rider if it happens."
Derby runner-up Pioneerof the Nile galloped a mile and a half after the renovation break at Churchill Downs with exercise rider George Alvarez up. Trainer Bob Baffert is scheduled to return to Louisville Saturday night and Pioneerof the Nile is tentatively slated to work Monday before shipping to Maryland on Wednesday if Baffert decides on a Preakness bid.
Papa Clem galloped a mile and a half before the renovation break under exercise rider Mundo Gonzalez. The fourth-place Kentucky Derby finisher is scheduled to gallop again Friday and will leave for Pimlico Saturday. Trainer Gary Stute said the son of Smart Strike would work five-furlongs Tuesday morning at Old Hilltop.
Owner/trainer Tom McCarthy was happy with the mile and a half morning gallop from General Quarters before the renovation break, but he had a question for a bystander as exercise rider Julie Sheets brought the colt off the track.
"What are they doing with that filly?" McCarthy asked, referring to Rachel Alexandra.
Rachel Alexandra could be supplemented to the Preakness, but McCarthy is planning to head to Baltimore on Tuesday.
"I would hate not to go and have her not get in," McCarthy said. "I went back and looked over the Oaks field and it didn't look like she was facing the quality of competition that she will face in the Preakness."
McCarthy plans to gallop General Quarters the next five days, including next Tuesday before vanning to Baltimore.
"I'd like to train here that morning if at all possible and then be able to jog Wednesday morning at Pimlico to allow him to get a feel for the track," McCarthy said.
Julien Leparoux, who was aboard in Kentucky Derby 135 in which General Quarters finished 10th, retains the mount for the Preakness.
Flying Private galloped shortly after the track opened Thursday morning at Churchill Downs with Taylor Carty up. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas said he likely would name a rider for Flying Private on Friday. The Hall of Famer has saddled a record 32 Preakness starters, with five victories.
Asked about the prospect of facing Rachel Alexandra in the Preakness, Lukas said: "I don't like the idea at all. I'd like to run against the third-place finisher in the fifth at Beulah!"
Terrain galloped a mile and a half before the renovation break with exercise rider Jimmy Valdez up. Trainer Al Stall Jr. plans to work Terrain on Saturday or Sunday.
"Looks like Sunday may be the work day," Stall said as he monitored a Weather Channel forecast that called for rain the next three days in Louisville. "But we are in no rush. We have the luxury of time with five weeks (between the Toyota Blue Grass and the Preakness)."
Trainer Dale Romans sent undefeated Hull out for a gallop after the renovation break. Asked if the presence of the speedy Rachel Alexandra might alter his Preakness plans for Hull, Romans said, "She might." Hull is scheduled to work five furlongs on Saturday. The Derby Trial winner is expected to ship to Pimlico Wednesday, May 13.
In New Jersey Musket Man, who finished third in Saturday's Kentucky Derby is scheduled to breeze three-furlongs for trainer Derek Ryan on Tuesday. The Illinois Derby (Grade II) and Tampa Bay Derby (Grade III) winner, who has never finished off the board in seven lifetime starts, will ship to Pimlico late next week.
Others still considering the middle jewel are Tone It Down and Conservative.
Laurel Park-based Tone It Down, who finished third in last Saturday's Tesio Stakes at Pimlico, is two-for-six lifetime.
"We're going to have a meeting tonight and right now we're kicking around the idea of the Preakness, but I guess you could say at this point in time we're still on the fence", trainer William Komlo said. "We want to discuss all the options as well as who would ride the horse if we decide to run in the Preakness."
In New York, Hall of Fame conditioner Shug McGaughey told Pimlico stakes coordinator Coley Blind the status of Conservative, who was second in the Grade II Lexington Stakes on April 18, is "up in the air". The son of Unbridled's Song has finished in the money in all four starts during his three-year-old campaign.
Agent Jamie McCalmont informed Pimlico Director of Horsemen's Relations Phoebe Hayes that European Invader Sky Gate is no longer considered for the Preakness.

Black and white printed pamphlet of four pagesSource: Museum Victoria
This pamphlet is a 1949 reprint of the article 'I Stand By White Australia' by Arthur A. Calwell, Minister for Immigration, published by the Melbourne Argus on October 24, 1949. He had the article reprinted in pamphlet form for circulation among people who did not read the newspaper in which it originally appeared.
It is Calwell's response to the public debate regarding the post-war deportation of non-European refugees granted temporary residency during World War II. While most left Australia after the war, about 800 wanted to remain as permanent residents. In October 1948 Calwell introduced the Aliens Deportation Bill and in 1949, the War-time Refugees Removal Bill. During this period there were also a number of court cases and personal stories of deportations being debated in the media. These debates in the public domain were the impetus for Calwell's response.
But has Australia really escaped its racist past?

Packet of Nigger Boy Steel Wool Soap Pads, 1950s
Image: Heath WarwickSource: Museum Victoria
This packet of Nigger Boy Steel Wool Soap Pads is one of several objects in the exhibition which explore how advertisements and brands have used stereotypes to sell products. The use of racial stereotypes in advertising was once common, even acceptable. This packet demonstrates how the association of dark-skinned people and cleaning products drew subtle connections between people and a particular kind of work.
Steel pan - Ellie Mannette, 44 Gallon Tenor, Trinidad, circa 1970s.
Image: David Paul Source: Museum Victoria
This instrument, made by a Trinidadian pan maker (in the Ellie Mannette F# style), was brought to Australia in 1974 by the touring Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra, who left their instruments behind as tokens of appreciation to the local Caribbean community. It is a soprano pan, commonly referred to as a tenor pan. It is played by being struck inside the pan with a pair of rubber-tipped sticks.
Steel bands have extensive repertoires and many also adapt and perform other types of music, especially Latin, jazz, film and pop music. This pan was donated by Denis Gonzalez, teacher, performer and founder of the New South Wales Schools Steel Band Association. It is the sister pan of the one Brian Thomas of CaribVic played in the 1970s and 80s. Brian Thomas migrated from Trinidad to Melbourne in the 1960s. He soon found a way to connect with his own community here by joining the Caribbean Steel Rhythm Band.

Qur'an - Silvi Xhami , Albanian, circa 1700-1750.Image: David PaulSource: Museum Victoria
This Qur'an (an Islamic prayer book) was donated to the Museum by the Shepparton Muslim Society in 2009. It is over 250 years old and beautifully hand inscribed and illuminated. It was discovered hidden under the floorboards of a mosque in Ohrid, in what is now the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. It barely survived and bears all the scars of fire and water damage.
The Qur'an was brought to Australia in the 1960s in order to save it from certain destruction during the communist regime in Albania and it was passed from father to son for safe keeping. Erik Lloga presented the Qur'an to the Shepparton Muslim Society in the 1990s which then presented to the Museum.
