Not into baseball?
Yeah, OK, I know that reporters are supposed to remain unbiased and not play favorites. But I love the Colorado Rockies, and have been a fan since the very first Opening Day.
My most prized possession is an Andres Galarraga jersey autographed by the Big Cat himself. And I have filled a curio cabinet in my home office with photos, ticket stubs, balls and caps signed by such other favorite players (past and present) as Vinny Castilla, Eric Young, Ellis Burks, Todd Helton, Terry Shumpert, Juan Pierre, Dante Bichette, Mike Lansing, Larry Walker and Brad Hawpe.
The best trip I take every year is to Tucson for a week at Spring Training.
So, yes, I am thrilled that the Rox have made it to the division playoffs. And I'm working furiously to figure out how to get a live feed from Game 3 to stream on my Treo.
Why not just watch it on TV? Because my job is to report not on baseball but on Denver's charitable fundraisers, and there's a ton of 'em Saturday night.
So if you're not into baseball and wouldn't mind doing some good for several worthy causes, here's the lineup:
* SafeHouse Denver celebrates its 30th anniversary by staging a 1970s-style disco ball at the Westin Tabor Center. Cocktails are at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the presentation of awards to Steve Siegel of the Denver District Attorney's office and the Junior League of Denver. Live auction items include a trip to Chicago for a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show and four nights at the Canyon Ranch Spa in Arizona. Call 303-302-6112.
* Cleo Parker Robinson Dance presents Cookin' with Maya, Laughin' with Sinbad and Dancin' with Cleo — a 6 p.m. dinner, auction and program — at the Colorado Convention Center's Four Seasons Ballroom. Roselyn Saunders is chairing the event; special guests are poet Maya Angelou and comedian Sinbad. Recipes from Angelou's cookbook will be used for the desserts served after dinner. Radio personality Tamara Banks (Martini on the Rockies) emcees and Moment's Notice provides the dance music. Call 303-295-1759.
* The first Dawn Denzer Community Leader Award will be presented to LaFawn Biddle during Costumes for a Cause, a fund-raiser for Colorado Neurological Institute that begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom. Tribute also will be paid to Gov. Bill Ritter and his wife, Jeannie. Chef Troy Guard is chairing the event with his wife, Leigh Sullivan Guard; he also created the evening's menu. Guests are encouraged to come in costume, according to honorary chairwomen Bonnie Mandarich and Deana Perlmutter. CBS4's Ed Greene is master of ceremonies. Call 303-806-7417.
* The University of Denver Bridge Project presents Patti LaBelle as the headliner for its 16th anniversary gala, a black-tie dinner and auction that begins at 6 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center. Marie and Martin Herzog are the chairmen; 9News anchor Bob Kendrick emcees. Call 303-871-2735.
* Advocates for Children will honor former Denver Nugget Bill Hanzlik at the 11th Red Wagon Ball. Festivities, at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center, begin at 6 p.m. with cocktails, live music, heavy hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction. Dessert, a live auction and the award presentation are next, according to chairwoman Amy Krza. Fox-31 News anchors Libby Weaver and Ron Zappolo emcee; Gary Corbett is the auctioneer. Call 303-695-1882.
* Fiesta Colorado, a dinner and awards ceremony benefiting the Denver Hispanic Chamber Education Foundation, also begins at 6 p.m. at the Colorado Convention Center. Sixteen college scholarships will be presented to area young people; in addition, Monique Lovato will receive the Latina Leadership Award while Excellence in Education honors will go to Leonard Baca and Open World Learning. Call 303-534-7783.
Denver Post Society editor Joanne Davidson can be reached at 303-809-1314 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Her column appears every Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Jeff Atwood writes on a topic that's interested me for quite a while:
Coding Horror: Don't Like It? Code it Yourself!
To me, at least, sponsorship seems like a constructive way for people who are unable or unwilling to write code to affect the direction of a project. For example, I've sponsored several bugfixes in a key .NET open source library that we use for Stack Overflow. These are bugfixes they considered low priority, but were serious issues for our site. I was happy to give back to the project, and it was certainly a more realistic option than us carving out a chunk of our own development time to contribute the bugfixes ourselves.
That said, I am concerned that this sort of aggregated sponsorship system hasn't naturally evolved on its own by now. Is it not sustainible, or incompatible with the kind of intrinsic motivations that drive most open source development?
In my previous job, we wrote software that heavily relied upon open source and GPL'ed software. The entire department developed and deployed software (primarily) for Linux systems, used gcc, Tcl/Tk, and a bunch of smaller open source tools. When compared to the more proprietary systems used (AIX, HP-UX), the savings were huge - both in software, hardware, and overall productivity.
At one point, the department decided to look into providing a "better"(?) debugging experience. After some research, they settled on a proprietary debugger. A year passed, licenses were finally purchased, and ... it was quietly released into the department, with very little fanfare.
I eventually found out about it, tried it out, and found the experience to be underwhelming to say the least. Several of the touted "features" were still in development (visualization of STL containers) and not to be delivered for another year, and the rest of the "features" had been in DDD/GDB for years. As an added hassle, it required the object files to be post-processed to obtain debugging symbols in their proprietary format.
To make a long story short(er), I found out we had paid many times my annual salary for a set of licenses for software that didn't have the features found in open-source software, and we had to pay this amount annually.
I fed this information up the chain of command, which just got the manager of software-development-environment angry at me. I proposed we use the money to instead hire a contractor to work on any bugs/enhancements for GDB/DDD, using the logic that not only would it be cheaper, it'd provide a return on investment faster, as well as be available to the entire department/company/world from here on out - at no extra cost. At the very least, it seemed to me, it was a tiny price to pay for the company's ability to use the open source Linux systems for development.
Management wasn't interested, not in the slightest. About the only argument they'd give me for keeping the status quo was that companies preferred working with other companies, and not contractors.
This always seemed to be more of a duck than a real argument.
I figured, if the software was good enough to use, it should be good enough to pay to improve.

By Mary Beth Harrington
San Antonio and the surrounding region continue to feel the impact of our nation's prolonged state of warfare, including nonprofits seeing increasing demands on their services.
With the Iraq war over and our involvement in Afghanistan winding down, the number of returning military personnel will keep growing. Thousands will go through Fort Hood in Killeen and will end up in the San Antonio area, adding to an already large population of veterans and their families.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 201,000 new veterans (all veterans who served after September 2001) in Texas in 2011 and their average unemployment rate for the year was 13.5 percent.
That affects our area in a big way. Multiple deployments have left many of these families in need of the type of support that nonprofits provide, such as housing assistance, job training, counseling and many other services.
Combined with cutbacks in some state and federal programs, nonprofit organizations trying to provide various social services in the community find themselves stretched by the increasing population of veterans and their families. Some agencies must make difficult choices. And many agencies that are not set up specifically to serve veterans will still feel the impact, because they serve affected families or individuals in some capacity.
The San Antonio Area Foundation is taking leadership on this issue and bringing together nonprofits for a "San Antonio Veterans Collaboration Summit, Bridging the Gap" on May 31 to help them find ways to collaborate and maximize the limited resources available. Several dozen nonprofit organizations have registered for the event taking place from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the San Antonio Food Bank, 5200 Old Highway 90 West.
This event organized by the Area Foundation's Center for Nonprofit Support seeks to bridge the gap between organizations whose mission is to serve veterans and their families directly and those that support veterans in addition to other constituents. Bridging the Gap is part of an ongoing Area Foundation initiative to maximize available resources to make life better for those who have given so much to our nation.
Mary Beth Harrington is Director of Curriculum Development and Training for the Center for Nonprofit Support at the San Antonio Area Foundation.

You can add another prominent Republican who's thinking about a White House bid.
"I am definitely considering a run for president," former New York Gov. George Pataki told reporters here.
Fresh off a trip to Iowa, Pataki was in the Granite State leading a discussion on the debt crisis at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm's College. (Organizers claimed it was scheduled long before the current debt impasse began producing headlines.)
"We are engaged in generational theft. Politicians in Washington are stealing from our children's future… This is not leadership," Pataki told the group.
When asked about the current GOP presidential field's handling of the debt problem, Pataki seemed dissatisfied.
"A Republican has to make as part of their campaign how they're going deal with the deficit and debt issue," he told NBC News. "We have to have solutions. So far, I haven't heard that. I'm certainly looking to see if someone has that plan in the tone of their campaign."
Then Pataki paused to reiterate that he is taking a closer look at the White House. "I'm seriously thinking about it."
Here in New Hampshire, Pataki is the honorary chairman of a group called No American Debt, which hosted today's event. He joined state Senate President Peter Bragdon and House Speaker Bill O'Brien to answer questions from approximately 20 concerned citizens, business leaders, and one college student.
Pataki wasted no time in attacking President Obama's positions on a broad range of issues including energy, jobs, taxes, and the subject du jour: the debt debate.
As for when he might declare a run for the White House, Pataki knows the clock is ticking.
"I don't want to put a specific date on it, but I understand that sooner is better than not."
Pataki said it would "be great" if Texas Gov. Rick Perry entered the presidential race, but he stated firmly that Perry's move would not ultimately affect his own decision.
"I will be very involved in some way, whether it's as a candidate or supporting another candidate or some other capacity."

Flow - Measurement of air flow velocity
The quality of air in rooms is of immense importance for the well-being of the people in them and ultimately also for their efficiency and effectiveness. To achieve good air quality, ventilation and air conditioning systems must work without failure and be adjusted appropriately for the application in question.
Rotronic flow transmitters measure air velocity in order to control HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems. Handheld measuring instruments, which measure temperature, relative humidity and dew point in addition to air velocity and volumetric flow, can be used to test and evaluate the functionality of air conditioning and ventilation systems.
Air velocity is mainly measured in the HVAC systems of warehouses, production halls, museums, office buildings and libraries, but also in applications such as laminar flow cabinets, clean rooms and air consumption monitoring systems.

A Useful Way of Burning MoneyBechmann, Ken L.; Raaballe, Johannes (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Firms pay out cash using both dividends and share repurchases. In many aspects these two means are similar, but one important difference is that dividends are generally taxed more heavily than share repurchases. Nevertheless firms persist in paying out large amounts in dividends. This paper provides an explanation for this dividend puzzle by developing a class of signaling models violating the "single-crossing" property in which information about the quality of the firm is asymmetric between the management and the shareholders. In these models a high-quality firm can always signal its quality by using share repurchases only. However, in certain cases share repurchases become costlier on the margin for a high-quality firm than for a low-quality imitator. In such cases, the high-quality firm signals most cost efficiently by means of a combination of share repurchases and taxable cash dividends financed by the issuance of new shares. Taxable cash dividends financed by the issuance of new shares then can be considered a positive kind of money burning whose role is to signal a firm's high quality. The implications of the models are consistent with several important empirical facts about dividends and share repurchases. Thus, this paper's main contribution is to examine a range of new signaling models that provides a role for taxable cash dividends and share repurchases and to derive their empirical implications.

Armerin, Frederik; Björk, Tomas; Astrup Jensen, Bjarne (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We investigate the possibility of an arbitrage free model for the term structure of interest rates where the yield curve only changes through a parallel shift. We consider HJM type forward rate models driven by a multidimensionalWiener process as well as by a general marked point process. Within this general framework we show that there does indeed exist a large variety of nontrivial parallel shift term structure models, and we also describe these in detail. We also show that there exists no nontrivial flat term structure model. The same analysis is repeated for the similar case, where the yield curve only changes through proportional shifts. Key words: bond market, term structure of interest rates, flat term structures. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7137

Effects on Capitalization and Lending Decisions of BanksKragh, Jonas; Rangvid, Jesper (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Unique and confidential Danish data allow us to identify how changes in disclosure requirements and bank-specific time-varying capital requirements affect banks'lending and capital accumu- lation decisions. We find that banks increase their capital ratios after capital requirements are increased, implying that resilience in the banking system is also increased. The increase in capital ratios is partly due to a modest reduction in lending. Using a policy changes, we show that banks react stronger to changes in capital requirements when these are public. Our results further suggest that the impact of capital requirements di¤er for small and large banks. Large banks raise their capital ratios more, reduce lending less, and accumulate more new capital compared to small banks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9314

Raahauge, Peter (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper suggests a method for determining rigorous upper bounds on approximation errors of numerical solutions to infinite horizon dynamic programming models. Bounds are provided for approximations of the value function and the policy function as well as the derivatives of the value function. The bounds apply to more general problems than existing bounding methods do. For instance, since strict concavity is not required, linear models and piecewise linear approximations can be dealt with. Despite the generality, the bounds perform well in comparison with existing methods even when applied to approximations of a standard (strictly concave) growth model.

Bechmann, Ken L.; Løchte Jørgensen, Peter (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract Over the last decade the Danish corporate environment has experienced a significant increase in the use of option-based compensation (OBC). This and many other facts are documented in the present paper which provides the first insights into the characteristics of the option and warrant contracts issued by the complete sample of Danish companies listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. A newly constructed database containing all publicly available information on details of Danish OBC contracts allows us to present, for example, results regarding contract values at an aggregated as well as at firm, personnel group, and individual level. The paper also contains a section which discusses and presents evidence on the incentive effects provided by the option-based compensation contracts adopted by Danish listed companies.

That being said they haven't seen the Pens team with a full staff of players. I'm hoping we come out and overwhelm them from the puck drop.

The Blast signed five players Wednesday, including two goalkeepers, team president and general manager Kevin Healey announced.
Troy Hernandez and William Vanzela will help the Blast replace veteran goalkeeper Sagu and backup Akira Fitzgerald (Loyola Blakefield). The team also added midfielder Marco Mangione (Calvert Hall, Towson University), as well as forwards Lucas Roque and Jamie Darvill (Loyola University). All of the moves are pending approval from the Major Indoor Soccer League.
"I am very pleased with the recent signings of Troy, William, Lucas, Marco and Jamie," Blast coach Danny Kelly said in a news release. "Troy and William are both quality goalkeepers who have come a long way in a very short time in terms of adapting to the indoor game. I am confident both will be up to the challenge that stands in front of them. Lucas Roque, Marco Mangione and Jamie Darville each have attacking skill sets that will help us win games this year. It's not a question of if they are able to adapt to the indoor game, it's a question of when. Hopefully their learning curve is a short one."
Mangione, the son of former Blast player Nick Mangione, was named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association first team after his senior season at Towson in 2010.
Darvill, an English player who played in college at Loyola University, was named to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference All-Rookie squad after his first year, was the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2008 and 2009, as well as an All-MAAC first-team selection both years. In 73 games for the Greyhounds, he recorded 36 goals and 27 assists, while leading the team to three straight NCAA College Cup appearances. He spent the 2010 outdoor season with the Real Maryland Monarchs (United Soccer Leagues Second Division) and most recently played for Ebbsfleet United in England.
Hernandez spent the 2012 USL Professional Division season with the Wilmington Hammerheads, who advanced to the championship. The 25-year-old goalkeeper saw his first game action in the Hammerheads' 3-2 quarterfinal win over Richmond on Aug. 25 when the starting goalkeeper left the game with an injury. He went on to earn a 4-3 win over Orlando City in the semifinals to advance Wilmington into the USL PRO championship. He also previously played for Pocono Snow and FC Sonic of the National Premier Soccer League.
Vanzela, who holds dual citizenship in Brazil and Italy, was a member of Italy's World Cup-winning futsal team in 2011. He was named Best Goalkeeper in the 2011 Futsal World Cup. Most recently, he played for Athletico Arzignano in Italy.
Roque moved to the United States from Brazil in 2001. He led his Monarch (Fla.) High School team to a district title and a berth in the Class 3A regional semifinals with 24 goals and 15 assists, and he was honored as the South Florida Sun-Sentinel Class 4A-3A-2A Player of the Year in 2004.
The Blast will host the Chicago Soul at 7:35 p.m. Saturday at 1st Mariner Arena in the 2012-13 season opener.

North American Handmade Bike Show hosts 200 bicycle builders in Denver
Saturday, October 17, 2015 9:10:08 PM America/Los_Angeles
The 200 cycling artisans displaying their hand-crafted rides at the ninth annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show at the Colorado Convention Center this weekend are testing the boundaries of bike construction with an array of materials.
"These are the most cutting-edge designs in all of cycling," said show spokesman Paul Skilbeck.
Indeed. Part art, part pedal, the bikes at the show are both functional and beautiful. The artisanal craft of customizing cycles is booming, as evidenced by the number of Colorado framebuilders displaying at the show. Of the 40 Colorado exhibitors at the show, 21 build bikes, with 13 of those hailing from the Front Range.
Chris Connor went from building classical guitars to furniture to bike frames built entirely with ash wood. His Woody Scorcher - laminated with layers of bulletproof Kevlar and ash - is a ridable sculpture; a "hot rod city bike," Connor said.
"As so many things are mass produced and so many things are disposable, there is a newfound respect, I think, and newfound value for things that are handbuilt with enduring quality," Connor said.
The National Bike Dealers Association estimates there were $6 billion worth of bikes, parts and accessories sold in 2011, and sales have hovered around that level for the last decade.
There are maybe 300-400 handbuilt bike makers in the U.S. and they are hardly threatening the industry monsters, whose bikes are built in China. Handmade bikes are a drop in the national cycling industry's bucket, but the industry is growing into a trickle.

Word, Card, and Star: language, divination, inspiration are my three lodestones. Guidance and insight for the spiritual searcher who feels called or connected to Nature and the Ancient World. Beauty, connection, openness, groundedness, and wonder.
I am a druid, linguist, and author. I write about meditation, relationship with Spirit, soulful fulfillment in scholarship and art, reconnecting the ancient with the modern, creating beauty, and healing the world. I write and podcast with my wife and partner Ali at Faith, Fern, and Compass.
Professionally, I am a computational linguist, with a focus on speech science, lexicography, lexical semantics, syntax, comparative linguistics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. (My LinkedIn profile is here.) I have a keen interest in the minutiae of the working of the human mind and the centrality of its manipulation of symbols, as well as the broader patterns of social change and development. I have published papers on conversational implicature, dialect analysis, lexical semantics, and syntactic universals.
Spiritually, I was raised Zen Buddhist in the culturally conservative South, and am now a revivalist druid. I have worked in the fields of internet search, speech processing, and the defense industry, and am the father of four children. I live in Seattle, WA with my wife Ali and our black cat, Cu Gwyn.
Like most of us in today's world, I wear a number of hats. I've been Ali's husband since 2011, and her partner since 2009. I've been a father since 1998. Longer than that, I've been a linguist — I began my studies in 1991, and have been working professionally since 2000. And I'm a follower of the druid path, though it's hard to say how long I've been doing that. I've been doing "druid things" all my life, but I only put the label "druid" on them in 2006.
What are "druid things"? Meditating, especially meditating in and about the natural world. Feeling connected to the spiritual realm, and cultivating a relationship with its denizens. Finding soulful fulfillment in scholarship and writing. Reconnecting the ancient world with the modern one. Creating beautiful things, and healing the world with words.
I was raised Zen Buddhist in the southeastern United States, which led to some difficult experiences. Regardless, I've always been drawn by the spiritual side of life, and though I usually waffled around between Zen, atheism, and agnosticism, my explorations of Spirit were ongoing and earnest.
Then, in the late spring of 2006, I began struggling with a number of issues, including debt, exhaustion, and fear — a lot of fear. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was the foreshadowing of the end of my first marriage. For no reason I could figure out at the time, I suffered random attacks of panic that were almost paralyzing. (You can read more about this fear, and some of the things I did to overcome it, here and here.) During meditation, I made contact with a spirit / being / archetype who called himself Apollo, and who urged me to create a blog, though he was vague about its purpose. You can read more about this encounter here. Around the same time, I picked up John Michael Greer's Druidry Handbook, and was amazed to realize I had been a druid all my life without knowing it. As I wrote to him in my letter to apply to his organization, the Ancient Order of Druids in America:
I have always been interested in just about everything under the sun, but there are disadvantages to that. Chiefly I have felt that my interests and passions in life were somewhat weakened by being so spread out and unrelated. I was brought up American Zen; my interest in writing and music, my fascination with historical and cognitive linguistics, my reading in comparative mythology and Jungian psychology, my love of nature and commitment to renewable energy lifestyles, the Waldorf education my children are receiving — all these themes seemed either completely unrelated, or related in some way that I could sense but not grasp.
But — and you can see this coming — it all flows together naturally under druidry. As I read your book, a dozen disparate themes in my life were converging, tributaries merging into a single river.
So it came to me that I could blog about my journey down the druid path — a journal of my journey into Druidry. Beyond that, I had no idea where the blog would lead me.
There is no way to tell the story briefly and do it justice. But as a result of this blog, I have
- made many new friends (online and in real life),
- explored a huge inner landscape populated with dozens of spirits and gods,
- went from moderate democrat to libertarian to anarchist to tribalist,
- helped hundreds of people with name analysis and astrological readings,
- went through a divorce,
- met and married an amazing woman,
- changed jobs (not before I was ready to ;-),
- moved 3500 miles,
- …?
If you're interested in getting near-daily updates of my fascinating doings, you can always become a fan of the Druid Journal facebook page, G+ page, or twitter feed (see the sidebar). I post inspirational quotes and insightful links, and of course, you're welcome to post there as well.
Top Ten reasons I'm a Revivalist Druid:
- It gives spiritual context to my love of nature and commitment to environmentalism.
- It gives religious depth to my fiction and non-fiction writing.
- It fits well with my American Zen upbringing.
- It is a great companion to my interest in history.
- It gives depth and meaning to my linguistic studies.
- It fits with my interests in Jungian psychology and mythology.
- It gives me an excuse to make musi
- It gives guidance and comfort in difficult times.
- It offers the deep peace of the Buddhist tradition, the grounding of an indigenous tradition, and the cultural comfort of a European tradition.
- It has a big holiday every six weeks. (Woot!)
Top Ten Favorite Places I've Visited
- Chaco Canyon, NM: for the colors, the sense of deep history, and the long-forgotten tragedy.
- Angel Oak Tree, SC: the oldest and largest oak in the eastern US.
- Seattle, WA: a city poised between land, sea, and sky, where the evenings glow with the light reflected off the water.
- Santa Fe, NM: for its museums and landscapes and memories.
- Big Bend, TX: for the bamboo on the Rio Grande.
- Sedona, AZ: for the hoodoos and vortices.
- Boone, NC: for the mountains and the parkway.
- Bryce Canyon, UT: see Sedona.
- Black Hills, SD: for the buffalo and prairie dogs and sacred caves.
- White Mountains, NH: for the mists, the stones, and the falling waters.
For the record, I've never been out of the US (except for one three-week trip to China — which was awesome, but not as awesome as these places… sorry, sinophiles. 🙂 )
A Parable of Religion
This is a meditation I experienced around the time I started this blog.
An archipelago sprawls across a tropical ocean, each man an island.
My island is large and populous; even the jungles and deserts are dotted with villages. At the center of the island is a handsome mountain, its slopes decked with manicured gardens. At the top of the mountain is a strong ivory tower, where I live, alone.
I have everything I need. The lower portion of the tower is stocked with a rich and varied library, for example. I have met few other monarchs who have libraries as large and heterogenous as mine. A whole section of the library — in fact, one of the oldest sections — is devoted to my own works. My drawing studio, where I spent many happy hours as a child, goes unused much of the time these days, although I do enjoy dropping by from time to time. I spend hours trying to tend the gardens on the mountain, despite my lack of skill in such things.
I have a radio near the top of the tower, and I communicate with the monarchs of other islands thereby. When I speak with them, my lonliness drops away, for a time. Sometimes I can even imagine that I am speaking directly to them, in their very presence. But there is always static and interference, and one can never really be sure a real connection has been made.
After the tropical sun sets into the sea, I watch the stars rolling overhead and try to find patterns in them.
There are servants in the tower with me, I am nearly certain of that. I glimpse them now and again, but whenever I look directly at them, they are gone. Perhaps I only imagine that they smile impishly at me as they disappear. But the evidence of them is everywhere. I always have sumptuous feasts laid out for me when I dine. I find books and pictures set out for me to find in opportune places. When I am painting, or writing, or speaking on the radio, I sometimes suddenly find helpful notes and ideas pressed into my fingers — and if I turn quickly to see who did it, no one is there. And when night falls and I creep downstairs to exit the tower, an unseen hand opens the door.
Yes, I leave the tower at night. I pass down the garden paths to the base of the mountain, and wander the highways and woodland paths among the villages. Here, I see my subjects. Sometimes they all ignore me. Sometimes they follow me, watching, saying nothing. Some try to speak to me, and I to them, as they go about their tasks, but it is a difficult process, because they do not speak my language, and my knowledge of theirs is very incomplete. Usually, I have to try to remember what they said and consult my library in the morning to interpret their speech. If I do so, I find that their words are full of wisdom.
Somewhere on my island, I feel very strongly, is a temple — perhaps deep in the jungle, perhaps buried in the desert. I seem to remember having seen it once before when I was young. (Were there others on the island then, that I could speak to? It seems to me as though there were.) Perhaps there was a great statue there, wound round and bound with vines, with eyes made of huge emeralds; perhaps it was a monolith, baked in the sun, carved with faded characters. Sometimes, when the air is clear on a bright morning, I look out from the top of the tower and try to see the temple; or I search my library (which contains many incomplete and partially accurate maps of my island). Frequently at night I search for it, wandering, a stranger in my own land, through mist-filled jungles, over parched deserts, surrounded always by my subjects, watching me curiously and speaking unintelligibly.
At the temple —
Was there a ceremony there? A coronation? One child was chosen from among the people of the island, chosen to be king, at least for a while. A monarch alone he would be, one set apart. He would serve the island, and the island would serve him. There on the altar of the temple his memory was sacrificed, for only by forgetting all could he be pure enough for kingship. No memory of companionship, family, or speech was left to him; naked and empty he was set in the tower — attended by servants that had to be invisible and inaudible, lest his innocence be corrupted — and left to learn what he could. A sacrifice of one child for the good of all.
But I am grown now. Surely I am old enough to be allowed to remember. Let me remember.
I must find that temple.

I really should have posted it on here and maybe a few others as well. Trying to minimize my things before I move and mostly jumped at having it gone.
Man, i'm sorry to hear all that. I had an '03 SVT Focus... and I loved that car. Definitely needed FI but for what it was, awesome! I actually blew mine's motor back in high school. While "Comparative" Driving with my brothers Saleen S281, it snapped a valve spring, valve dropped into cylinder and toast! Luckily!!! Under warranty at the time and Ford replaced the motor. I told them I was getting heavy on it and they said, "that aside, this engine should be able to handle that." BEST Ford experience I had! Wish I wouldn't have sold it.

After testing the waters with a range of consoles, including the SG-1000 and the Sega Mark III, Sega decided to launch the Master System in order to compete with Nintendo's NES. The machine was indentical to the Japanese MkIII hardware (although it now included the FM sound module as standard).
The system failed to gain a foothold in both the US and Japan, but in Europe it was a massive success. Nintendo had failed to gain a significant share of the European gaming market and Sega therefore was in a prime position. Distributed by Mastertronic (which would later be purchased by Richard Branson and become Virgin Mastertronic), the SMS sold by the bucketload in key European territories like the UK.
A redesigned Master System II was launched after the Genesis/Mega Drive arrived on the scene and allowed the console to keep on selling in Europe, but by this point it had died completely in the US and Japan, with Sonic being the final US release for the system.
Sega took the Master System hardware and shrunk it down to produce the Game Gear portable console. Boasting a full colour screen, it was far superior to Nintendo's Gameboy in terms of raw power but sadly ate batteries like there was no tomorrow. The machine still sold in decent enough numbers and outlived the other great Gameboy rival of the time, the Atari Lynx.
The Master System was a stunning success in Brazil, where the machine was supported until the late '90s and saw some excellent conversions, including Street Fighter II.

Vision for Wind
Permanent performance for over 10 years
We have challenged the wind industry, first by making permanent magnet generators (PMG) and full-power converters (FPC) the preferred technology for wind turbines, and now by enabling the technology to be commercially available. Our product portfolio covers all wind power applications from 1 MW to 8 MW and higher, including direct-drive, medium-speed and high-speed PMGs. Our FPCs are designed to work with our PMGs as a fully optimized drive train package.
Permanent magnet generators
The Switch PMGs provide excellent availability and productivity. Their specially segmented structure creates a group of redundant generators capable of independent operation to meet the latest power quality and grid compatibility requirements.
Full-power converters
The Switch full-power converters (FPC) have been designed specifically for wind power applications. They are optimized to work with a wide range of PMG concepts. Each converter series is built to best match specific wind conditions and the required turbine designs.
Third-generation packages
We are delivering our third-generation PMG and FPC packages with the broadest offering available. The Switch full-power converters are optimized to work with the entire range of PMG concepts. This ensures that you can effectively capture all power from highly variable sources of new energy.
Why PMG and FPC?
The majority of new wind turbine designs now coming to the market have all chosen permanent magnet technology.
Together, PMG and FPC simply lead to the lowest possible Levelized Cost of Energy and long-term permanent performance when analyzed from either a total life cycle cost efficiency angle or a reliability angle. That's why we love PMG!

UNHCR: Part of the Problem of Illegal Migration. Download PDF
The stance and robust solidarity of the people and Government of Eritrea on the cause of the people of South Sudan is an indelible historical fact that is embossed on granite. In the event, it does not require third-party testimony or validation; nor can it be misconstrued for sinister purposes. Eritrea's unfaltering historical stance was never adulterated by whimsical considerations in response to fluid or changing developments and realities.
The Permanent Mission of the State of Eritrea to the United Nations and other international Organizations in Geneva has the pleasure to announce that the UPR National Report of Eritrea has been adopted on 6 February 2014 during the 18th Session of the UPR Working Group.
US Hostility, Not Eritrean Rigidity, Responsible For Sour Relations
Press reports disclosed that on 3 October 2013 individuals, the majority of whom Eritrean citizens, lost their lives while on migration when a boat from the Libyan coastline heading to Lampedusa, Italy, capsized. It is to be noted that such lose of life is not the first of its kind as well as saddle, but one of the chain of loss of the lives of Eritreans, perpetrated by criminal human traffickers in violation of all international laws and human values.
In line with the longstanding goodwill of the people and Government of Eritrea to witness Egypt and its people assuming their rightful position and role, they have fully demonstrated their genuine support for the transitional forum introduced in that country over the past two years.

Big night out: Hublot Big Bang Costa Smeralda
On the evening of July 16th, Elton John entertained guests with a very special performance. The event was a party organised by the famous Cala Di Volpe Starwood Hotel.
On the terrace of the Bar Pontile, Hublot unveiled two sparkling limited edition watches as a tribute to the anniversary of the iconic marina: the Big Bang Costa Smeralda for ladies, and the King Power Costa Smeralda for gentlemen.
"Quality, beauty, prestige, relaxation, joy, happiness and freedom are a few words that describe the Costa Smeralda. They are qualities we try to perpetuate through our art. Hublot watches should not only be considered as timepieces, but more like objects of quality, prestige, beauty, freedom, joy and happiness. This is why the partnership between Hublot and Costa Smeralda seemed so obvious! " Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot Chairman.
The Costa Smeralda is not only widely celebrated as a playground for the most exclusive VIPs, but also for its unrivalled beaches and secluded coves. Located on the northern coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, Costa Smeralda is at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea and at the crossroads of international yachting routes.
The gilded tale began, fittingly, with a prince… Already 50 years have passed since Prince Karim Aga Khan arrived in Sardinia and created the Costa Smeralda Consortium and made of this place a destination for international jetsetters. From the beautiful Grace Kelly to Brigitte Bardot and Ringo Starr, anybody... who was somebody…had to share a glass of champagne there.
Top French and Italian architects were hired to design, from scratch the little village of Porto Cervo. Famous golf club architect Robert Trent Jones was brought in to build a world-class golf facility, the Pevero Golf Club. It is known as one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, and hosts many major international tournaments including the prestigious Italian Open.
Today, Pevero is even enhanced by the presence of Hublot clocks in strategic locations, giving the club an even more sport-chic and luxurious look. Time goes by and Costa Smeralda is still the place to be for world class celebrities who like to gather at the famous Cala di Volpe when night descends on the village. Word has spread that this is where Hublot has chosen to unveil its Big Bang Costa Smeralda, a watch specially created for the 50th Anniversary.
Costa Smeralda's 50th anniversary is celebrated by Hublot with two exclusive watches for men and women – each limited to only 100 pieces, which combine the summer and festive side of gold and sparkling diamonds. This elitist watch is the perfect reflection of the temperament of the beautiful A-list people who make Costa Smeralda what it is.

We have more unfortunate news to report from the 2013 Dakar Rally as a French motorcycle competitor was killed earlier this morning in Chile after he crashed into a police car.
CNN reports that the rider, 25-year-old Thomas Bourgin, was on his way to begin the seventh stage around 8:30 a.m. local time when he collided with a Chilean police vehicle that was traveling in the opposite direction. News reports say Bourgin wasn't killed competing in the race itself, but was going to start the stage of the race between Calama, on the Chilean side of the Andes, to Argentina.
Still, Bourgin is now the third person to die this week in connection with the race, and the second to collide with a vehicle not involved in the competition. As we reported yesterday, two people in a taxi cab were killed when their car was struck by a rally support vehicle in Peru.
Bourgin — pictured above at right in an AP photo from Jan. 5 — was a native of Saint Etienne. He was in 68th place in this, his first attempt at the Dakar Rally. More than 50 people have been killed since the inaugural Paris to Dakar race in 1978.

Lucy, a therapy dog from South Jersey, is quite the handful.
Actually, she's about half a handful.
And as of Saturday, the 3-year-old mini Yorkshire terrier is the newly crowned "world's smallest working dog" by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Just 6 inches long, 5.7 inches high and 2.5 fluffy pounds, Lucy was unfazed by the huge honor and heightened attention, says owner Sally Leone Montufar.
"She gets a lot of attention already," Montufar said. "She stops traffic."
Lucy snatched the title away from a 6.6-pound dog in Japan.
"I didn't want Lucy to unseat him because he's employed by the Japanese police as a search-and-rescue dog," she says. "But she's a different kind of working dog."
Homeless and out of work two years ago, Lucy now works as a therapy dog through the Cherry Hill, N.J., program Leashes of Love, visiting hospitals, nursing homes and special schools often in dog dresses and bonnets.
Montufar contacted Guinness in November and learned of the diminutive dog's admittance in December.
"I said I bet she's not the tiniest, but I'm sure she's the tiniest therapy dog," recalls Montufar, who also owns a Cockapoo.
And not every dog is cut out for employment, or certification as a therapy dog.
"She had to be trained to sit for long periods, lay for long periods, not be flustered when there's wheelchairs and walkers all around," she says, "And she has to be able to walk for me and be nonaggressive."
But it's not all work for Lucy. According to Lucy's Facebook fan page, her many interests include "food, chasing cats who are 10X her size, cuddling by the fire, twirling for treats."
But Lucy's life could have been far from fancy had her trip to the pound not been sidetracked by a stop into Paw Dazzle.
A woman entered the pet boutique with several dogs hoping someone would claim them before the shelter did.
But Montufar was more focused on the woman's Juicy Couture dog carrier, specifically the nose poking out of it.
"(The designer tote bag) was very beautiful," she says, "and out came this peanut."
"This peanut" was a freakishly small, skinny pup by the name of Lucy. Along with medical help, Montufar knew to give Lucy a home, and then a job.
"She was so pitiful and lethargic," Montufar said. "I couldn't leave her. I didn't know if I could save her or not. And kind of as a mother would, I said I'm going to help this one. I'm not going to turn my back. The others looked pretty healthy, she didn't."

I have recently been testing a color matching plug-in for Sony Vegas Pro called RE:Match, from revisionfx, and I was very impressed with the results. There are also versions for Premiere Pro and After Effects and a couple other editors.
I have lots of 3D stereoscopic video shot with two cameras and need a plug-in to make the colors of the left-eye video match the colors in the right-eye video as closely as possible. That's important for preventing eye strain and making the 3D effect stand out better. There is a Color Match plug-in in Sony Vegas Pro, but it doesn't match colors on a frame to frame basis and not as well as RE:Match. With the Color Match plug-in you need to split your clips when the scene changes and apply the Color Match plug-in to each clip. With the RE:Match plug-in, you have the option to automatically match each frame. You only need one plug-in on a track and all the clips on the track are taken care of by that one plug-in.
I noticed that the plug-in shows up in Sony Movie Studio 13, but some of the functionality is disabled because there isn't a Custom blending mode like there is in Sony Vegas Pro.
For After Effects and Premiere Pro versions, you can opt for the more expensive RE:Match edition that includes the RE:Stereo plug-in for fixing glares and other differences. Revisionfx does not have for sale a version for Sony Vegas Pro that includes the RE:Stereo plug-in, but the literature for the Sony Vegas version is confusing and may mislead you into thinking that the RE:Stereo plug-in is included when you buy the RE:Match plug-in. The RE:Stereo plug-in does show up in Vegas Pro, but it is a demo version and puts a big X through each frame.
If you are interested in a 30-day trial, you can go here to pick and download your version. You can create some interesting effects with this plug-in even if the frames are not of the same scene. There are various options. Possibly good for color grading.
The less expensive version is $89 US.
My 7-day trial version of After Effects is up and didn't get to try RE:Match with it.

The Lady Bears (15-11) were slated to take on No. 2 Ave Maria University in the first round on Wednesday, March 5, at 1 p.m. on the campus of Penn State Fayette in Uniontown, Pa.
St. Joseph's returns to the USCAA tournament for the first time since 2010, where they entered as the No. 9 seed. They also earned an NCAA tournament bid in 2012 – the first and only NCAA Tournament appearance in school history in any sport.
They will take on the Florida-based Gyrenes (20-10), an NAIA member out of The Sun Conference, who have won seven of their last eight games.
The victor will face the winner of the third-ranked Robert Morris University Springfield and number-six University of Maine Fort Kent in the semifinals.
Despite finishing as HVIAC champions with an 18-9 record, the men's basketball team did not receive a second straight bid to the National Championships and end their season with the most wins since the 2006-07 season.

Ray Bradbury, literary icon, is remembered as pioneer of modern sci-fi
Ray Bradbury was a local celebrity when I was growing up in Southern California. Sure, he had a national reputation, but to us, he was the local author who got trotted out to lots of events, including Career Day at the University of Redlands, when I was then working as a features editor and photographer for the campus newspaper, The Bulldog.
My candid photo of Ray Bradbury, featuring a diabolical smile that made him look a lot like Jack Nicholson, ran on the front page next to the story by a staff writer. Oddly enough, his advice is just as good today as it was back then.
"Explode every morning, put yourself back together each night," he said, describing his passion for life.
He talked about Mr. Electro, whom he called a "fantastic creator of marvels." A magician, Mr. Electro sat in his electric chair every night and was electrocuted in front of all the people, young and old, of Waukegan, Illinois, where Bradbury grew up. When the electricity shot through body, his arm shot up, sword in hand, and he knighted all the boys who'd come to see him.
Bradbury recalled how Mr. Electro touched his forehead with the sword, and said, "Live Forever!"
"Sounds like pretty good idea to me," Bradbury told us.
That magic ended today. But his career advice remains as good as it always was. First, there was that real sense of fun–he thought serious people were beyond boring. "That's what's wrong with politicians," he said. "If either Ford or Carter had said, 'Screw you,' people would have swarmed to the polls."
He loved levity. "Everyone's got to float, ride, and glide through life," he said. "We need to experience a sense of fun, love, and exaltation to enjoy life."
I followed his career advice. I loved writing for newspapers in college, and I still love it now.
"Do crazy things in search of your love," he said. "Find out what your loves are, prowl around. Experience life."
He was a guy who lived his love, graduating from a Los Angeles high school in 1938, and not going on to college. Instead, he sold newspapers on street corners and worked at his writing. By 1953, he'd written his masterpiece, "Fahrenheit 451," still taught in high schools to this day. It's "a scathing indictment of censorship set in a future world where the written word is forbidden," according to his website. "In an attempt to salvage their history and culture, a group of rebels memorize entire works of literature and philosophy as their books are burned by the totalitarian state."
My personal favorite was "Something Wicked This Way Comes." I can't remember how I stumbled across it. Maybe by shelving books in the library where I worked as a teenager, or maybe a recommendation by my writing professor in college, Bruce McAllister. I couldn't put the novel down, the tale of two teenage boys who have a nightmarish experience with a freaky traveling carnival in their Midwestern town. My remembered passion for that novel makes me want to go read it again, immediately.
"He was so easy to read," said Ron Else of Who Else! Books in Denver, which specializes in sci-fi. "He wrote hundreds and hundreds of wonderful short stories that just brought out his fans, science-fiction lovers, and even those who didn't love science fiction. He wrote a lot of things that weren't science fiction, but had a take on contemporary things with time-travel or a twist."
He recalls how Connie Willis, the Greeley-based science fiction writer who last month was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, always read Bradbury stories on Halloween to a group of local people.
Else said he'd just put a Ray Bradbury book out on his shelves yesterday.
"From a selfish point of view, as a bookseller, Bradbury continues to sell."
I can't believe I gave away my old paperback copy of "Fahrenheit 451" in a recent purge of my overloaded bookshelves. Now I'll have to go buy it again, another with other Bradbury stuff. Maybe I can find copies at the upcoming Denver Public Library sale.

Atlanta has a long history of "crazy" ideas
Throughout our history as a city, metro Atlanta has often found itself in the spotlight for its lofty plans and big ideas. Some of our most famous leaders have faced controversy, and even open ridicule, for trying to take our city in new directions.
When Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. made good on his campaign promise to build a modern sports facility that would bring a major league baseball team here, he fought an uphill battle. In 1964, when city leaders broke ground on the $18 million Atlanta Stadium, the American League had already turned the city down and the Milwaukee Braves had yet to sign on to move to Atlanta.
Critics called the stadium "Allen's Folly," and for a while it looked like they might be right. The stadium was finished in time for the 1965 baseball season, but the Braves move was tied up in lawsuits, and it wasn't until the following year that the Atlanta Braves played their first regular season game there. Mayor Allen threw out the first pitch. Thirty years later the stadium played host to the baseball competition for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.
The stadium was a risky move for Allen, but it was a move that sealed Atlanta's future as a major sports city – a legacy that carries over today with great professional teams and NCAA championship games.
Along similar lines, the creation of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was met with a mountain of criticism, as was the original referendum for MARTA. Plenty of people said our leaders were nuts for attempting these projects and for asking our citizens to help pick up the tab.
But where would we be if our leaders had backed down? What would metro Atlanta be like if we hadn't taken our chances on an airport and a public transit system?
More importantly, what will our city be like if we fail to pass the Regional Transportation Referendum on July 31? Our leaders face the same criticism for this bold plan as past leaders faced for their "crazy" ideas. We'd be foolish to listen.
This referendum will deliver an $8.5 billion investment for 157 infrastructure improvement and congestion relief projects for a 10-county region. It will do so in the form of a one penny sales tax that will cost the average citizen $122 a year. That's compared to the $924 the average Atlanta commuter spends now each year for what the Texas Transportation Institute calls the "congestion tax," made up of wasted fuel and lost time sitting in traffic.
The project mix includes major interchange improvements, including a fix for the dreaded I-285/Ga. 400 interchange, and first-ever transit developments, including the "Clifton Corridor" rail line. It's the biggest transportation infrastructure improvement project our region has ever attempted and the critics are having a field day. We can and must face down those critics as we have before.
If we don't get this passed, we are going to look back with deep regret. As other cities pass us by and attract the growing companies and workforce talent – cities like Charlotte, Denver and Salt Lake City that have already passed regional transportation sales taxes – Atlanta could cease to be a vibrant hub for business and the capital of the southeast! Our economic growth will stall and our brand will suffer – the city that dared to embrace civil rights, that got gutsy enough to pursue major league baseball, had the audacity to go after the 1996 Olympic Games and the place that built the world's busiest airport could well find itself on an irreversible downward path.
We owe it to ourselves to take another bold step to ensure a successful future. Vote YES on July 31!

Furniture - Kitchens
Greenfields can manage your complete kitchen build from start to finish; design, manufacture and installation. Over the years we have built up an address book of tradesmen we know and trust to help you on your way to your perfect kitchen.
We can manufacture your kitchen to your own specific requirements. Sometimes however this may not be necessary and for these cases we can supply top quality units built to standard sizes and layouts.
Any kitchen will be complemented by one of our finely crafted worktops. Many cheaper options send your design off to China to be manufactured, then shipped back over to be installed. We buy in full size 3m x 2m granite slabs and do all the work, cutting and polishing ourselves. Not only does this reduce the carbon footprint of the project, it also keeps the money within our economy and ensures that you end up with exactly the top you want.
Taurus Crafts kitchen - 2006
These customers had very specific ideas on what they wanted from their kitchen, even to the point of providing us with a floor plan to start from. This can be a plus or a minus, luckily with these customers it was a plus. The layout was nicely thought out and they were open to suggestions from ourselves to tweak the layout in a few areas.
