- UVB radiation
- listen (… RAY-dee-AY-shun)
- Invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun. UVB radiation causes sunburn, darkening and thickening of the outer layer of the skin, and melanoma and other types of skin cancer. It may also cause problems with the eyes and the immune system. Skin specialists recommend that people use sunscreens that protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. In medicine, UVB radiation also comes from special lamps or a laser and is used to treat certain skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and skin tumors of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Also called ultraviolet B radiation.

I worked around the issue by compiling these modules manually with the cmake flag -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2. Could there be a mention of this somewhere, along with a suggested fix? I don't know if my solution is any good.

A climate neutral campus either avoids or offsets all greenhouse gas emissions associated with campus energy use, transportation, and waste. For example, the solar panels on top of the Eccles Health & Wellness Center and Meldrum Science provide a small amount of emissions-free electricity to those buildings. Additionally, 9–10% of the total electricity the college uses comes from off-campus renewable sources through the Rocky Mountain Blue Sky program. On a climate neutral campus, all energy will come from renewable, emissions-free sources on or off site.
In April 2007, Westminster President Michael Bassis became a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. Since that time, the Campus Sustainability Task Force, made up of students, faculty, and staff, has worked to measure the college's greenhouse gas footprint and identify ways to eliminate or offset those emissions. In July 2010, President Bassis adopted the task force's Climate Action Plan, setting goals of 10-15% reduction in campus emissions by 2015 and climate neutrality by 2030.
Greenhouse gas inventories, climate plan, and progress reports
Two simple steps that make the biggest difference.
Nearly a third of Westminster's emissions come from electricity use. While upgrading equipment is a critical part of reaching climate neutrality, simple actions like turning off lights and computers are equally important. Each time you flip the switch on a light, laptop, or TV, you are keeping coal fired power emissions out of the air. Think these small actions don't add up? A month long study of campus computers in 2007 revealed that the college could save over $20,000 a year if computers weren't left on when people were not using them.
A big chunk of Westminster's carbon footprint comes from transportation. Over 3/4 of us get to campus alone in a car each day. Coming to campus by bus, bike, foot, or carpool not only cuts greenhouse gas emissions, it also helps keep the air in the valley clean.

Once again, a member of the writing class has shared a wonderful story. I can't imagine being this brave and this lucky! Although times were different then, no doubt luck had a huge part in his adventure!
Sometimes when I get caught shaking my head at the perceived foolishness of the young, which is so easy to do at my age, up pops all my past mistakes, my hubris, my misconceptions, risks taken in ignorance. One such a blissfully ignorant undertaking still makes me shake my head in wonder at my stupidity, and I shiver.
My first baby girl was born in August of 1964. The miracle of this event hit me like a bolt of lightning after the plodding months of pregnancy. This beautiful little being was mine, my responsibility, my joy, one reason for being. My first thoughts went to my mother. I had to go home to have her hold my Christina, share my joy with her.
Since home was over 6,000 miles away, this was not so easy to do. I had lived in Oregon for two years. My husband and I were married in my hometown in Germany. It took six months to get my visa so that I could come to the USA with him. My German passport was still valid at that time. It had been granted several years earlier for a high school trip to Great Britain. I was set to travel to America and to exciting adventures in my new home.
A green card was sent to me several months after we arrived in Baker, called Baker City today. I was adjusting well to the American way of life, but the need to go back and connect with my mother was now overwhelming. So when Christina was nine months old and the sweetest easiest baby ever, I had her ticket and mine to Hannover, Germany via New York and Frankfurt. Since Christina was an American citizen and I was not, she had to have her own passport with this adorable little passport picture.
When I checked my own passport, I noticed that it had expired a few months earlier. Here comes the incredible act of foolishness I tended to be possessed with in my youth. I assumed that I no longer needed this passport. I did not find it necessary to check with anyone who knew anything about traveling across borders. On my green card it said "in lieu of a passport" and that was good enough for me. Off I flew with the baby in my arms to New York.
I got to New York without any trouble, no security checks. There was a special airplane bassinet and other pampering from a not overworked attendant for Christina and me, after all this was 1965.
At La Guardia airport I checked in at the International desk of Lufthansa to continue my trip. The agent looked at me with open mouth when I presented my tickets, Christina's passport and my green card.
"You have to go back," he said, you cannot leave this country without a passport.
"Impossible," I replied, "I paid for this expensive trip, and I have to keep going!"
Visions of an embarrassing return to Baker without having been in Germany, knowing that I would not have a chance to repeat this trip for a long time kept me fighting. I really do not remember how I talked them into letting me board the plane. I told everyone I had a passport in Baker and I would send for it as soon as I got to Germany, leaving out that that passport was expired. The knowledge I have now that it is a lot easier to allow someone to leave a country than to get permission for entrance probably had something to do with it. In any case we were on our way across the ocean.
In Frankfurt I climbed down the stairs of the plane with a bit more apprehension and continued to go through customs. There was no discussion, just a look of disbelief and I was led into a small office. Here someone took Christina out of my arms. I started to panic but was told that she would be fine at an in-airport nursery close to us. Then the questioning began: Where was I from, where was I going, why was I going, had I run away, was I stateless, was I a fugitive, a refugee and on and on. I told my story and told it again – my interrogators could hardly believe that someone could be so blissfully ignorant, so dumb, so careless about international travel. They really did not know what to do with me and my baby.
Finally, they decided to call my hometown and check with the courthouse there about the information I had given them – birth date, place, address of my mother, etc. It all checked out and all was as I had said. Then it was decided that I could travel home since I was going to send for my passport from there. A parting remark from one of the agents was. "Make sure you have that passport when you return. If you think we were hard on you, it will be much, much harder to get back into the USA!" But I would have my passport renewed in my hometown, and I would be fine.
It was wonderful to be back home after three years. I showed off my baby wherever I went, Mutti cooked my favorite dishes, friends and relatives wanted to hear about my new life and told me about their changes. My husband had sent my expired passport. I went to the courthouse with confidence. "No," they said, "we cannot renew your passport. You are no longer a resident here."
I was stunned. I knew better than to argue with a German bureaucrat. I slunk home to consider my options. What amazes me today is that I did not seek advice from anyone, nor that anyone asked me about my passport. Everyone must have assumed that I knew what I was doing, and I was too embarrassed to tell them otherwise.
I decided (or did I decide?) to do nothing and so the last day of my stay came and my family escorted Christina and me back to the airport in Hannover. Our tickets were checked, suitcases weighed, but no one asked for passports since we were leaving the country. Today that would never happen! I looked with foreboding at my mother and uncle and aunt who were hugging Christina and kissing me 'Good Bye.' Would I see them again very soon, or worse, would I not see them for a long time, locked up somewhere with my baby on Ellis Island? I didn't even consider that my precious baby could be taken from me ... which has happened, as I now know, to other immigrants with faulty papers.
We arrived in New York tired of course. Customs loomed. I handed over the passports, Christina's on top with her immunization records all in order, legal, and my passport below, outdated. The middle aged customs official smiled at us and started paging through the green booklets. I was waiting for the explosion, for the open mouth, the incredulous questions. But none came. He handed the passports back and I moved on. I could have hugged him, but no, I moved coolly on. He had not notice the date of expiration in my passport, and I was back in the USA! We probably looked so innocent, so average, young mother with baby going home. It never occurred to him that there could be something wrong, that someone would dare to travel with incomplete papers. Forty-eight years later I can still see the face of that agent and his absolutely wonderful smile.
The year after I got back I applied for citizenship. It was granted just before my second child was born. Being separated from my children because of my different nationality had been giving me nightmares. There are lots of stories of immigrants being sent back to their country of origin while the children, American citizens, have to remain here in the USA. I have heard of people trying to enter with incomplete paper who were not allowed back in the USA for many years. I shake my head at my incredible foolishness. I was young, I was lucky, but at least I now always carry an up to date passport!

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Vijay Singh sued the PGA Tour on Wednesday, a week after his doping case was dropped, claiming it damaged his reputation by not doing a thorough job of researching his use of deer antler spray.
"I am proud of my achievement, my work ethic and the way I live my life,'' Singh said in a statement. "The PGA Tour not only treated me unfairly, but displayed a lack of professionalism that should concern every professional golfer and fan of the game.''
Singh filed the lawsuit in New York, where he has a home and the tour has an office.
The 50-year-old Fijian said in a Sports Illustrated article in January that used deer antler spray, which was said to include an insulin-like growth hormone that was on the tour's list of banned substances. The tour sent a sample from Singh to be tested, and it returned small amounts of the IGF-1 chemical.
(RELATED: Golfers divided on Tour's decision not to punish Singh)
The lawsuit said the tour notified Singh on Feb. 19 that he was to be suspended for 90 days. Singh appealed. Last week, commissioner Tim Finchem said the tour was dropping its case based on new information from the World Anti-Doping Agency. He said WADA informed the tour that using deer antler spray was no longer prohibited because it contains such minimal amounts of IGF-1.
The lawsuit said the tour relied on WADA's list of banned substances and methods without doing any of its own research, including whether such substances even provide any performance-enhancing benefits.
"We have not seen the lawsuit, just the statement,'' PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said. "We have no comment.''
The lawsuit also said the tour held Singh's earnings in escrow during his appeal. Singh earned $99,980 from five tournaments. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
"He's looking to reclaim his reputation and hold the tour accounting for acting irresponsible,'' said Jeffrey Rosenblum, one of Singh's lawyers. "He's concerned about his reputation. There should never be an asterisk next to Vijay's name.''
Rosenblum also represented Doug Barron, the only player suspended under the tour's anti-doping policy. Barron sued the tour, and the case was settled. Rosenblum could not comment on the settlement, which was confidential.
Peter Ginsberg, a sports law specialist and lead attorney in the lawsuit, said the tour never bothered to analyze the trace amounts of IGF-1 in the bottle.
"What the PGA Tour accused Vijay of spraying was not a banned substance,'' Ginsberg said. "It was an inactive substance and could not possibly have any effect, good or bad, on Vijay. And that's something the PGA Tour easily could have determined.''
Singh has made over $67 million on the PGA Tour, which he joined in 1993. He once was banned by the Asian Tour in 1985 for allegations that he changed his score to make the cut. Singh recovered from that incident to earn his card on the European Tour, and then bring his game to America, where he reached No. 1 in the world.
Singh has won the Masters and the PGA Championship among his 34 tour victories. He holds the PGA Tour record with 22 wins since turning 40. His best year was in 2004, when he won nine times. Singh has not won since the Deutsche Bank Championship in September 2008, two months after the tour's anti-doping program was launched.
The lawsuit was filed the week of The Players Championship, the PGA Tour's flagship event at its headquarters next to the TPC Sawgrass.
Singh is in the field. He has not spoken to reporters all year.
"There's no excuse for the PGA Tour to expect us to do basic research that would show there was no basis to discipline Vijay,'' Ginsberg said. "It was irresponsible and that behavior has to stop.''
The lawsuit included a Feb. 14 report from the UCLA lab to which the tour sent the sample of deer antler spray. It claims that while the lab identified IGF-1 in the bottle of spray, it did not test to see if it was an inactive substance or whether it was in a way that could have helped Singh.
It said the UCLA report determined there was 60 nanograms of IGF-1 per milliliter, which was .00006 the strength of IGF-1 on the banned list.
"The Spray does not contain enough IGF-1 to be anything more than a placebo, as the UCLA Laboratory confirmed and the PGA Tour was well aware,'' the lawsuit said. It said it was comparable to taking a shot of bourbon, pouring it into an Olympic-size swimming pool, and then drinking a shot of the pool water.
Ginsberg declined to comment when asked if Singh's attorney contacted WADA before the tour dropped its case.
"If this suit is successful, what it's going to do is make the PGA Tour more responsible in the future,'' he said.
The lawsuit also revealed that it was Singh's current caddie, Tony Shepherd, who recommended "The Ultimate Spray'' to help the Fijian's knee and back problems. Shepherd told Singh he used the spray and arranged for Singh to meet with Mitch Ross, owner of "Sports with Alternatives to Steroids,'' who told Singh the products were all natural and did not contain banned substances.
The lawsuit said Singh took the spray orally for about a month during the offseason. It said Ross asked Singh to talk to a Sports Illustrated reporter doing a story on the company, and Singh agreed.
Finchem said in February that the tour adopted an anti-doping policy primarily because of the perception that all sports were infected with performance enhancing drugs, and he didn't want golf to be looked upon that way. "I would say that it was largely playing defense,'' he said.
It also enabled golf to become part of the Olympics for the first time in more than a century.
Finchem said when the Singh case was dropped that the tour could not move ahead "with a prosecution on a player given this set of facts.''
"Vijay wasn't assessed this action because he was negligent. He wasn't assessed it because he made a mistake. He was assessed it because he violated the doping code, and the doping code is predicated on a list of substances,'' Finchem said last week in Charlotte, N.C. "And we're now finding from WADA that that substance doesn't trigger a positive test to admission, so we have to respect that.''

Future Motorola Xoom owners who enjoy messing around with their gear, rooting their gear or otherwise modifying it in some way, take note! Motorola is promising to accept your tablet with open arms during the "send it away" 4G upgrade process, no matter what.
How kind and incredibly unlike their competition they are.
But! There is one small detail that you should know before sending in that hacked, sticker-covered Xoom. That detail being users are asked to revert back to the tablet's original firmware before sending in, lest the upgrade not be guaranteed.
Motorola, to their credit, will still install the 4G LTE modem during the process even if you don't want to revert, it's just that there will be no guarantees the software upgrade will work. [Motorola via Engadget]

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 43 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Independent webmaster with functioning site without a logo matching the feel of the site. Need a branding type design to help legitimize my efforts going forward. Please take a look at the details! : )
**I am not confined to my current logo as I am looking for some fresh NEW ideas but will also embrace ones that have a similar look. I am open to all ideas so have fun with them and provide as many as possible!**
***Additional ideas, blowing up a bottle cap and using the top to create a logo. Use the look of or an old pub sign and etch/carve pubagenda and the logo into that***
I need you as much as you need projects!
PubAgenda (http://www.PubAgenda.com)
I am open to all kinds of ideas but really want something that can be categorized as a true logo. (can look at the design and tell what the site is about without much wording) It should fit the theme and or color combo of the site to pull them together.
Here is a logo that I am currently using for tshirts and other things. I am not confined to it however, trying to get something better and more creative.
- Since it will be difficult to implement the logo on all pages, it will have to fit in on just the home page (http://www.pubagenda.com) for now.
- A design that can be used both on the site as well as the logo for clothing is a plus.
- Something young, fun but professional looking
- Am open to a web2.0 look as well since it is and should have the feel of a site providing local bar info
- Do not have a slogan right now so any ideas there implemented is encouraged. The one I was using under a logo was "Local Bars & Happy Hour Specials" so use that if you want to include wording into your design.
- I am open to almost anything but do not want the logo to look cheezy since it deals with beer, bars, drinking games etc.. ie. using clip art images as part of the design.

A BURNLEY man was fighting for his life in hospital last night after his car crashed into a wall then hit a parked car and a van.
The 45-year-old man, named locally as David Burns, was placed in an induced coma by doctors at Royal Preston Hospital after suffering a serious head injury.
Police had to close Burnley Road, Bacup, for seven hours after the crash at 4.20am yesterday. An investigation into the circumstances has now been launched.
The driver lost control on a bend near Northern Primary School sending his Ford Focus into a curb then a stone wall.
The car then rebounded into a parked Ford Fiesta, shoving the stationery vehicle five metres down the road and writing it off.
The Focus then span off, hitting a van parked 20metres away on the opposite side of the road.
Simon Dalley and Rachel Weinhold, who have a four-year-old son, Leon, were woken up when the car smashed into the wall beside their house and shook their home.
Mrs Weinhold, a 32-year-old copywriter for the NHS, said: "We went to the window immediately and there was debris still flying down the road.
"We both ran outside to see what had happened and his car was still steaming, so we went over to see if the driver was okay. We were really concerned when we saw the state of our car and his.
"I rang the ambulance and opened the car door. The driver was lolling around on the passenger seat and there was blood on the airbag and a cut on his head.
"I knew he could hear me because he was moving a bit and trying to speak but he couldn't respond.
"I could see he was breathing, but not normally, and the paramedics over the phone told me not to move him, so I stroked his arm and talked calmly to him."
The couple are in the process of moving into Broadclough Farm from their home in Chorley, and have become increasingly concerned by the 'dangerous' speed many drivers travel along Burnley Road.
Mr Dalley, a 33-year-old marketing manager for Obas Group in Longridge, said: "We really hope the driver's okay. He must have been going at a real speed to lose control and crash like he did.
"Speeding is a real problem on this road. Because we're so close to the moors, when people are coming down the hill from Weir, they drive like they're still in open countryside, doing 60 mph.
"It's a real concern because Leon is starting at Northern Primary School in September and all the way along here is an accident blackspot."
Ward Coun Jimmy Eaton said it is time traffic calming measures were installed.
He said: "It's not that long ago that a lady was killed not so far away from where this accident took place, and that wasn't the first.
"There have been many accidents along that stretch in recent times and I'm very concerned that there will be another fatality if something isn't done.
"Signage, making drivers aware of the hazards, is the least that needs to be done. We've made these calls time and time again and nothing has been done."
A Lancashire Constabulary spokesman said two ambulances, and police and fire officers attended.
"Firefighters from Bacup fire station used specialist cutting equipment to free the man, and he was rushed to hospital.
"There was a lot of debris in the road following the accident."
Sgt Dave Hogarth, Roads Policing Officer, said: "The man involved is in hospital as a result of his injuries and we are keen to discover exactly what has happened.
"Anyone with information can contact us on 101, quoting log number 131 of 25/4."

Scalia rejects privacy rights
Ordinarily, U.S. Supreme Court justices avoid television interviews, leaving the cameras for politicians. Justice Antonin Scalia apparently prefers a higher-profile approach.
Fresh off his widely-derided political antics towards the end of the court's last session, Scalia recently appeared on CNN, and just 10 days later, sat down with Chris Wallace on yesterday's edition of "Fox News Sunday."
The two covered a fair amount of ground, including Scalia's argument that there's "no way" the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate should be regarded "as a tax." (Those who can afford coverage but refuse to buy it pay a tax penalty on their tax returns.) They also touched on gun control, and Scalia's belief that firearms protected under the Second Amendment must be "hand-carried." He added, in reference to the law, "It's to keep and bear, so it doesn't apply to cannons."
What about "handheld rocket launchers that can bring down airplanes"? Scalia said it's unclear whether that's protected, and "it will have to be decided." I'll look forward to it.
But of particular interest to me was Scalia's opposition to privacy rights. Unprompted, the justice noted his opposition to reproductive rights, and it led to this exchange:
WALLACE: What about the right to privacy that the court found in known 1965?
SCALIA: There is no right to privacy. No generalized right to privacy.
WALLACE: Well, in the Griswold case, the court said there was.
SCALIA: Indeed it did, and that was – that was wrong.
In case anyone needs a refresher on Griswold, the Supreme Court, in a 7-to-2 ruling in 1965, struck down a Connecticut law that restricted married couples' access to birth control. The court majority, in a landmark ruling, said such statutes are impermissible – they violate Americans' right to privacy.
Yesterday's exchange didn't break new ground, but it was a noteworthy reminder that far-right jurists on the high court still have a problem with Griswold, even a half-century later.
For Scalia, if a state wants to restrict married couples' access to contraception, there are no rights afforded by the Constitution that say otherwise. "There is," he said, "no right to privacy."
It's a fanciful dream, but I'd love for this to be an issue in the 2012 presidential race.

Following on from a previous entry on K.G. Murray's series of Romance Annuals, here are the covers to the 1974 and 1979 instalments, courtesy of a small haul of romance comics snagged over the weekend.
This series takes its cue (title and masthead) from the Super DC Giant series even as cover images are drawn from Charlton comics...
The 1979 issue is also part of the Planet Series titles.
Presumably there were Love Annual instalments for 1976 and 1978 - TBC.

Palestinians dismiss Israeli al-Qaida plot claim
January 23, 2014
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian security officials on Thursday cast doubt on Israel's claim that it broke up an al-Qaida plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, alleging Israel concocted the story to bolster its position in peace talks.
Israel's Shin Bet security agency says it arrested three Palestinian men — two from Israeli-controlled east Jerusalem and one from the West Bank — over the plot. It said those arrested admitted to planning a suicide bombing at the embassy and other attacks. It said they received their instructions over the Internet through a handler in the Gaza Strip who had direct ties to al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
Adnan Damiri, a spokesman for the Palestinian security services in the West Bank, said there is "no indication" that al-Qaida has a presence in the territory. "Al-Qaida cannot operate here," Damiri said. "It needs broad logistical support and that cannot be here in this small area."
He said Israel had arrested some naive "boys" and claimed they were al-Qaida to halt American pressure to show more flexibility in peace talks. Israel has demanded it retain a presence in parts of the Palestinian-claimed West Bank after any future peace deal due to security concerns.
One of the suspects was identified as Ala Ghannam, 21, from Aqaba, a village near the northern West Bank town of Jenin. His cousin, Arafat Ghannam, told The Associated Press that the 21 year old was arrested by the Israeli military two and half weeks ago in a night raid.
He said Palestinian intelligence forces had arrested him just a week before and had let him go. The Palestinians arrested him because of "Islamic views" he expressed on Facebook, the cousin said without elaborating. He said the family was not aware about his alleged interest in al-Qaida but said they were not shocked to hear about it.
Israeli security officials long have warned of the threat of what they call "global jihad," a word they use for various militant groups in the Gaza Strip and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula inspired by al-Qaida's ideology and tactics. But Wednesday marked the first time that Israel explicitly accused the group of being behind an attempted attack. Officials believe there are several hundred of these militants, known as Salafists, in Gaza.
The Salafi presence in the West Bank is far more limited. Palestinian security forces recently arrested about 20 young men who allegedly tried to set up a Salafist organization. Officials have described the men as disaffected youths who had no training in weapons or attacks.
Last November, Israeli forces killed three members of that group in a shootout in the city of Hebron. Israeli security officials say there is some cooperation with their Palestinian counterparts in the West Bank to keep the Salafis under watch.
In Gaza, the Salafis have emerged as rivals to the ruling Islamic militant Hamas group. A Hamas security official said al-Qaida does not exist in the crowded seaside strip. "Al-Qaida has never fired a single shot to liberate the land," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Adnan Abu Amer, a Gaza expert on Islamic movements, said there are groups in the area inspired by al-Qaida "but we haven't found any direct links." Aviv Oreg, a former head of the Israeli military unit that tracks al-Qaida, said that if the group was indeed behind the plot, it would create a "whole new ballgame" since it would show new capabilities inside Israel's borders.
U.S. officials have said little about Israel's claims, only that they could not corroborate the information and that no new security measures were immediately taken at the embassy.
Barzak reported from Gaza City, Gaza Strip. Associated Press writers Mohammed Ballas in Jenin, West Bank, and Ian Deitch in Jerusalem contributed reporting.

I read a bit through the forum and there is a lot of hype for the Plextor PX-230A.Is this still the best drive until today ? It is an IDE drive and about 12-15 years old so I'm not shure if it is a good idea to go for this drive in a PC from 2016.I'm ripping my CD's with EAC in accurate rip mode and was using a Plextor PX-891SA and various LG and Samsung drives from 2013-2016 and wasn't very satisfied with the performance. How can it be that ripping CD's from 2015 - 2018 takes 30 - 60 Minutes ?Also the Plextor had an open/close bug after only 3 month of using. I always thought that Plextor is a quality manufacturer ? I guess I was wrong.Any suggestions would be much appreciatedthanks in advanceregards-SKH_Audio

The Jinxiest Jinx Ever to Jinx: Aleksandr Reut's "We are the Champions" Painting
Did you think this would be a slow news week? Maybe an injury update here or a scouting report there, but overall an uneventful period before the semifinals. Well, you were wrong. From the Internet's very own disreputable flea market emerges what might become the cultural moment of the hockey season.
(Are we building this up too much?)
Artist Aleksandr Reut has crafted Washington Capitals – We are the Champions!, an exquisite 40″ x 32″ oil painting on canvas. This inspired (yet absurdly premature) work of celebratory art and its partner piece are available for bid or purchase on eBay right now. Starting bid is only $5,000, so crack open those piggy banks.
A 50-something Ukranian ex-pat living in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Reut fills the daytime hours as an architect, but the muses compel him to high art. A decade-old profile from Harrisonburg's Daily News-Record (reprinted here by brama.com) extols Reut's passion for mixed media as a sculptor, but he tells me that it's hockey that really inspires him.

Delbert, being the only boy in the family, had spent a lot of time with his father, helping him with the farm work, and together, they constructed numerous buildings on the flat plains of eastern South Dakota. Delbert worked for a dray business, and raised hounds, and often helped his brother-in-law, Will Knutz, on his farm.
Delbert's first stop was Camp Dodge, Iowa, pictured at left. He often sent his little sister postcards, one, sent in August, just prior to him being relocated overseas, read, "Hello, Lulu, Have had a couple of easy Days work lately. Good Bye, Best Wishes, D.D.G." Delbert was a member of Company H of the 351st Infantry, commonly called the "Doughboys." From Camp Dodge, he was sent to Fort Des Moines, and then to England at the end of August, and shortly afterward, to France.
Influenza was rampant, and struck the military in France especially hard. After being in France a mere two weeks, nearly the whole Company came down the the flu. Makeshift hospitals, such as those pictured here, were quickly constructed to deal with the incredible numbers of sick soldiers. Delbert's friend, J. W. Hofer, who had gone through Camp Dodge with Delbert and was assigned to the same Company, told of being sick himself, but not so severely as Delbert; he made sure Delbert was covered up, and brought him food, as often as he was able. Still incredibly weak from his illness, Delbert was not able to go with his Company when they moved on. On December 5, his condition worsened, and he was admitted to Base Hospital No. 18, with a diagnosis of Scarlet Fever.
Delbert died December 12, 1918. His family was notified shortly thereafter. His body was laid to rest in the American Cemetery at Bazoilles-sur-Meuse, Vosges, France. However, reports kept surfacing from some of the other men who had known him, that they had seen him after this time, leaving the family with an incredible amount of anxiety, but hope as well. More military investigations took place, and his death was definitely confirmed in April of 1919, some four agonizing months later. I cannot imagine how many sleepless nights his family endured during this time, not knowing the fate of their son for so long. They began making arrangements to have his body returned home, and laid to rest in their little town of Carthage, South Dakota, in Pleasant View cemetery, just outside of town.
We should always remember our soldiers, each and every day. Each one of them, and their families, have sacrificed *something* to do the work that needs to be done. Some of these people have sacrificed EVERYTHING. I know how Delbert's death and absence from the family affected the remainder of his mother's life. Tucked inside one Delbert's books from his childhood, Nettie had placed a small piece of paper that she wrote some 10 years after his death -
"If you only could come home,
Friends may think we have forgotten,
when at times they see us smile,
but they little know the heart aches
that our smiles hide all the while,
Sweet and peaceful be thy rest
Forget you, we can never;
God called thee, he knows best
His will be done forever."
God bless you, Delbert, and thank you for your sacrifice.

North Tudor Medical Center is a medical center in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes From Liberty City. Despite being named for North Tudor, it is actually located at 169 Babbage Drive, Acter, Alderney City, State of Alderney. It is a few blocks from the Lost MC Clubhouse.
Based within a large historical three-story building, North Tudor Medical Center serves as a respawn point after the player is wasted the nearest to the hospital. Much like most hospitals in the game, the hospital has no interior, but features a parking lot behind the hospital itself presumably for the use of patients and staff. There is a health pack near the entrance to the parking lot and an Ambulance parked on the side of the road near the hospital.
In-game, the player will encounter many doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel hanging around outside in clad in hospital uniform.
The rear driveway of the hospital serves as the location for a switch over of cars during "To Live and Die in Alderney" in GTA IV.

So I later called customer service to rectify. Well I'm glad James answered the phone! He was certainly the best CS agent I have ever spoken to with results to match. He upgraded the order to a magnificent arrangement and it was called the best surprise of the day when it was delivered. Thank you James for making it all worth it!

Gracious Husband!!How Sweet It IsMay 22, 2015
My wife is visiting her mother out of town. I wanted to surprise her with a bouquet to let her know, my love for her. She was absolutely surprised and overjoyed to received this awesome bouquet. I am not a fan of ordering flowers online, as I have heard horror stories from customers who ordered flowers online, and the order not being delivered in a timely fashion or not at all. I must say that this florist made this process joyous for both my wife and I. Thanks so much!!

In fact, the bouquet was delivered in less than 3 hours from when I made the purchase. I have used this company on two previous occasions and have not been disappointed.

sbGreat ServiceOctober 9, 2014
Great customer service and follow-up. We had the wrong last name for the person we were sending the flowers too and so the hospital couldn't find her. The customer service rep made phone calls multiple times to her and to us to try to complete the deliver. When they found that she had been discharged, they delivered the flowers to the new facility and called me back to let me know. Will definitely go back for future needs.

The arrangement I sent my friend was the same colors as the photo but had a lot of alstroemeria--which is not my favorite
flower. However she was delighted with the gift and says it has
stayed fresh a long time! The delivery seems to have gone well which I appreciate.

Mavs Player RIPS LeBron -- 'How's My Dirk Taste?'
Mavs Player RIPS LeBron 'How's My Dirk Taste?'
Dallas Mavericks guard DeShawn Stevenson let his T-shirt do the trash talking after his team took down the Miami Heat last night -- "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE."
DeShawn made the fashion statement while celebrating in his hotel room after the game.
Of course, DeShawn was simply making a tweak to the greatest NBA Championship trash talking rap of all time -- when Shaq asked Kobe to, "Tell me how my ass tastes!!"

Composed of the rural New Mexico-raised dirt heads from the late Unit 7 Drain (one of the most relentless Albuquerque rock bands of all time) and I is for Ida, The World on Fyre is the next phase in an enduring sonic assembly. Harry Redus-Brown, Ella Brown, Tony Sapienz and Chris Newman converge here in a noisier fashion, parting with catchy hooks to create a cacophony that should frighten some and titillate others. This week the band unleashes these new sounds in a physical form. In anticipation, we e-quizzed Harry about drinks, New Mexico music and, of course, The World on Fyre.
What was the inspiration for this new project?
I think we had three inspirations: Unit 7 Drain was going into hiatus so Ella could be knocked up without having to be out at bars every weekend until 2 a.m. Tony, Chris and I had all started to really get into some heavier and more experimental music (Shellac, The Warlocks, Leeches of Lore, Boar Worship, Silversun Pickups). And I think we all also had this sense of wanting to get back to our experimental music roots.
This is a band made of ex-Unit 7 Drain members—how is The World on Fyre different from Unit 7 Drain?
Functionally, from a performance standpoint, it's different because we have two bassists and one guitarist, as opposed to U7D's more traditional two guitarists and one bassist arrangement. We're also much more collaborative with respect to song writing. And we're twice as heavy, three times as noisy and four times as sweaty.
Which form of music would you like to see enjoy a resurgence in New Mexico?
I wish that we had a better post-punk-type scene here. I mean, at one point I could stomach the whole three-
Favorite drinks with which to rock?
Me: Marble Brewery beer. Tony: rubbing alcohol and Pepsi. Chris: any beer. Ella: Jameson, neat.
What's the biggest problem facing the Albuquerque music scene?
Apathy. So many of the newer bands aren't willing to do the legwork necessary to cultivate a following. Many times I hear great new bands talking about how nobody comes out to their shows, but I don't see them out at the clubs putting out flyers, I don't see them doing at least two shows a month, I don't even see enough web promo! And you can do that shit while sitting on your couch eating a candy bar and watching "Law and Order." Anyway, again: apathy.
Sonic predictions for the new decade?
It's pretty doom and gloom among my peers to be perfectly honest. There's this whole generation of kids out there who seem to believe that musicians should give away their music for free. Everyone is having to work a lot harder for a lot less, which is killing some bands and frustrating most. But I'm an optimist, so I predict that people will decide that a great album is worth at least as much as a mediocre hamburger, and music will come roaring back.
What are your star signs?
I'm a Virgo (don't hold it against me), Tony is a Libra, Ella is a Libra and little Chris is a Capricorn.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I hope everyone who liked Unit 7 Drain, or likes I is for Ida, will come check out the new project. We're taking it really seriously, and trying to provide a lot of substance to people who like that type of thing. Also, we're allowing attendants of the show to name their own price for the new album, so please, the show is free! Come out even if all you've got is a stray dollar; we'd be more than happy to trade you a pretty cool new record for that dollar.

Nice Worlds' Reflections: My Questions Answered
Shortly after the World Figure Skating Championships were a wrap in Nice, France, I messaged a friend who attended my frustrated questions and musings about the results to see if he could offer an insider point of view. They included questions about the Chan/Takahashi, Davis & White/Virtue & Moir, and Weaver & Poje/Pechalat & Bourzat rivalries. I wondered if seeing their performances live might shed light on the results in a way that my tv viewing couldn't.
Well, Aaron over at Axels, Loops & Spins answered all of my questions in rather grand fashion. I was pleasantly surprised by his thorough responses, via his blog.
Read his responses in "Post Nice Reflections"
Find out…
"What happened to the House of Sato/Dunjen?…"
"Were Kavaguti/Smirnov decked for their public commentary on the ice?"
"Did Weaver/Poje deserve the bronze?…"
…and more!
