Today is the day my Daddy died. It's been years now but when I woke up, got my coffee, looked out the window - those were my thoughts and that's when I began to cry. Just like I do every year. July 5th - I can count on it.
There's no getting over some things. As a woman told me who had lost her husband six months ago, "I'm still not over it,"
Of course your not, I said. You aren't meant to be.
She nodded. Seemed relieved and said, "That's right. That's right."
She left our meeting in a better mood.
We aren't meant to stay stuck in grief to the point we aren't enjoying life but the getting over it. I'll leave that to the other people.
My Daddy.
He was a life-long Army man. Loved Holmes creek where he grew up. Knew it better than the back of his hand. After his death I have replayed moments where I wish I had made a different choice. Conversations where I wish I had communicated better. Times he had put out an olive branch to a stubborn teenager or young woman with a wild streak - and I just didn't take it the right way. Those times echoed to long and loud after his death. I wanted to take them back. Over and over again. Fix them. Perfect them. Don't we all. Always.
I pulled in the driveway a few days ago from a family vacation. One of those family get togethers where I flashed all my disfunction obsessions. We must be together. We must all sit next to Nana. We all must pay attention to each other every moment and tell stories. And, and, and - - - this vacation time together must be . . . perfect. Again. That word. My determined expectations. I am precious in my passions. As well as a pain the butt. I'll save that little blog I call Dysfunction Junction what's your function (being mine) for next week but the thread here is the same.
I'm a family girl. One that wants to run and roam. But I'm also the girl that packed her bags when I lived out in New Mexico after Daddy's health took a bad turn. Me and the boys moved back home. My sister packed up her stuff where she was in Georgia and did the same. No matter how crazy our times together may get when we are trying to take a break from life, it's real life we get great. It's real life where we tag-teamed when daddy was in the hospital. She took one shift, I took the other. We rode up and down that elevator so much that people thought we were twins, clones, time warping. We confused them in our coming and going but that weren't at all confused about the fact that we didn't miss a beat. Daddy wasn't there alone.
Daddy died today. One day after the 4th of July. Fireworks now, the sound of them from inside a house brings to mind that night. That last night. I think it was his stubborn that kept him alive that night. A soldier that didn't want to die on Independence Day. He passed the next morning.
My stubborn streak. I come by it honest. I got a double dose. His kind - quiet final, conclusive and my Mama's kind - determined, hard-edged, tenacious.
When I pulled up in the driveway after all those days of family togetherness, after July 4th crazy traffic and traffic jams, heat and more heat, a broken air conditioner. Too many hours on the road. There was Daddy's memorial stone right there in the circle as I turned in. The flag I put up for Mama on the porch blowing in the breeze on the hill. Daddy's old boat sittin' on that broken trailer. Me and sister begging Mama when she moved to please not leave that boat. We couldn't leave that boat. We had to have that boat. No matter how long it had sat up. No matter if we couldn't use it, float it. We had to keep Daddy's boat. It was his lifeblood. It's a freshwater creek boat, the kind you'd use with a cane pole and a red bobber. It's worth nothing but everything.
My boys.
They fished from that boat just like me and sister did. He took em up in the creek in it when their heads couldn't clear the edge. Showed up how to fish and where the clear springs bubbled up in the swamps. Where you could scoop a cup of water up right there and drink it down. Him grinning to beat the band. Those Cyprus trees rising to the sky, him skulling that boat with one hand, whistling through his teeth.
That man survived Korea. Survived Vietnam. But still --- time and time and time.
Today instead of those missed opportunities, those imperfect moments that stuck out in my mind for years where I didn't say what I wish I had said, I thought of all the times we laughed. Together. Of the way I'd say, Daddy that would light up his smile and no doubt his heart. I saw this wild, long tapestry that was us, our relationship, and I saw how very, very much of it was good. How most of it was really, really good.
And I think about those boys of mine. (Yeah, I call them mine whether they want me to or not.) And how I gave him the greatest gift I could ever have given him by making him a PawPaw. About how my boys became his boys. And as much as this gypsy heart of mine wanted to roam the earth and exotic places, this Southern girl stayed close to home so that they had each other. So we all had each other. While there was still time.
In Daddy's memory I went to chapel and lit a candle. Whispered a prayer. Then bought a watermelon to eat with my baby boy's baby boys. I'll tell them creek stories of their Daddy's Pawpaw and help them remember a man I won't forget.
I think I hear him whistling.
Thanks so much for reading, liking and sharing with friends.
July 2020

I spent the years 1986 to around 1992 watching Brighton and Hove Albion pretty much every week home and away For most of that time the team was pretty mediocre with a few highs but probably more lows but that wasn't really the point. I was reminded of those days recently when Albion were drawn away to Aston Villa in the 4th round of the Cup and a flurry of emails between old friends brought back a lot of memories. Hopefully this will capture a few of them.
Brighton have always drawn support from all over Sussex and the members of the ERS hailed from points as far afield as the jewel of the south coast (Littlehampton for anyone who was in doubt) to dowdy Crawley suburb East Grinstead. The usual routine in the immediate aftermath of an uninspiring home defeat went something like this:
"No me neither"
One of our favourite ways to pass the time on the journey north was with a harmless game or two of "pass the pig". Someone , probably Harry who was the inspiration for the Jay character in the In-Betweeners , had acquired a pack of barely legal pornographic playing cards depicting deprivation on a scale that can only be hinted at here. The two of clubs featured a vicar's wife and a rutting pig but that was only half the equation.
A quick trip to the buffet car supplemented the various tinnies we already had with us (usually a selection of lager , bitter , cider , pale ale) with other ingredients which could be anything from worcester sauce , miniatures of whiskey and creme de menthe and canned britvic pineapple juice to produce something we knew as "the rancid cocktail". The object of the game was that whoever was left holding the aforementioned card had to drain the glass. Occasionally our best laid plans went tits up. Memorably a fellow fan known to us as Percy who nobody ever saw sober would happen past our table somewhere around Rugby and neck the pint in one gulp proclaiming it to be "not bad that".
Somewhere along the line our happy little band developed an obsession with pants. It might have started with the Felix character out of Viz , or not , but the point was that wherever the Albion were playing a pre-match trip had to be made to the club shop to acquire said article. A few days after a particularly uninspiring and cold 2-1 defeat at Oldham Athletic a very surprised Albion midfielder by the name of Adrian Owers received an envelope in the mail containing a very classy pair of blue edged white nylon ladies knickers with the legend "I scored at Boundary Park". I like to think Adrian was the John Terry of his day in the clubs of Brighton and that said article was donned by a French lingerie model of the time for him. That would seem only fair for rifling in our consolation goal that day. On balance though probably not.
Another bemused recipient of a bizarre package was ex-Sheffield Wednesday goal machine Gary Bannister. After a heavy Friday night in Brighton EFW's very own Danny Last and his flatmates had the brilliant idea of unscrewing the banister from the stairs of their home and sending it north asking for Gary to sign it. To GB's undying credit said article arrived back in Brighton a few days later autographed and with a personal message saying "Here you are then you sad lads".
We liked to keep it real and always do something to pay tribute to wherever we were going. So it was one October day in 1987 when we pitched up in Grimsby complete with boxes of fish fingers and packets of Fisherman's Friends. One of our group wore waders and oilskins especially. In those days the away fans were housed in a small terrace at the side of the pitch and so it was that "hometown boy" was warming up in front of us waiting to come on as sub to make his Mariners debut. His sprints and star jumps were mimicked by a couple of our group accompanied by frantic shouts of "Oi mate. Mate. Mate". I was mentally pleading with Cleethorpes youth not to turn around but sadly he couldn't resist and the last thing he heard before trotting out to make his debut were the words "Who the f*ck are you"? Needless to say he didn't have a stormer.
Wherever we played and win lose or draw the day always ended in the Stage Door pub close to Victoria Station where more beers were necked before we all headed back home to our own parts of Sussex. For me that usually meant a lazy Sunday and a lunch time game of darts and a pint with my Dad. For H it once too often resulted in an unfortunate confusion between the exact location of the toilet and his parents' bed. Legend has it his Mum's parting words as he left home (recounted on a subsequent trip to much hilarity) were "____ (name withheld to protect the identity of the innocent) I love you because you're my son but I hate you for what you are"!
Fenners, Nick, Danny, Paul from Woking, Howard and Ju celebrate another defeat.
Somewhere along the line it all came to an inevitable end although we all still met up at the bottom of the North Stand , right behind the goal , for home games. Looking back I don't think we were ever aware of a sense of "this is the last season and the grown up world beckons". It was probably better that way. Paul Weller , who at least in my mind , is a total genius wrote a song back in 1979 called Burning Sky which seems to sum things up quite nicely. It's in the form of a letter to friends and includes the lines:
Cos we've all grown up and we've got our own lives
And the values that we had once upon a time
Seem stupid now cos there rent must be paid
And some bond severed and others made"
Weller goes on to say how he has to admit "we had a laugh but that's all it was and ever will be".
I thought of that again as I sat in an office in Florida reading emails telling of a January 2010 day out in Birmingham and it all came flooding back. We definitely did have a laugh but I think it was much much , more than that. And happily not all those bonds have been severed. Well not totally anyway.
I hope that about 20 years on from our little adventures there are groups of fans like us somewhere. These days of course you probably don't need an Our Price because you make all your arrangements on Facebook and with your iphones and the price of a rancid cocktail has probably gone up a bit but apart from that I imagine it's all much the same.
Good luck to you lads and lasses wherever you are. Enjoy it while it lasts because to quote another Weller classic "we seemed to grow up in a flash of time as we watched our ideals helplessly unwind" Some of us keep in touch to this day and all too briefly a Saturday at Villa Park gave us a taste of when Saturday's Kids were as Thick as Thieves.

Wave that flag! Celebrations sparkle all over
"This is going to be the biggest and best Fourth of July ever," declares Tim Carr of the Scottsville Volunteer Fire Department. Carr is helping to organize his town's Independence Day celebration that starts with a parade down Main Street at 11am.
The procession of floats, a fife and drum corps, political candidates, and the District 5 girl's softball champions is only a part of this super star-spangled party.
At 6pm, folks are invited to bring a picnic basket to Dorrier Park for Rhythm on the River. This free outdoor concert presents the bluegrass sounds of Willow Branch followed by the popular Jan Smith Band. The evening ends with a bang as fireworks ignite the sky over the James River.
Sparks will fly over the City of Charlottesville too, despite the fact that this year's fireworks nearly fizzled from lack of funding. McIntire Park will indeed glow this July Fourth with both pyrotechnics and pride, thanks to a partnership of private funding and public services that is really something to celebrate.
The festivities get started at 4pm and include an inflatable slide and moonwalk to keep the kids bouncing, live music, and food vendors (picnic baskets are also welcome). Fireworks are set to go off at about 9:15pm.
The party lasts all weekend in Crozet, where the Volunteer Fire Department hosts their annual Fourth of July Carnival at Claudius Crozet Park. This family fair offers games, rides, food vendors, live bands, and bingo. Fireworks are featured on both Thursday and Saturday nights. Friday is family night where kids can ride all they want for one price.
And just to make things extra special, the fire trucks, twirlettes, boy scouts, Lions Club, and antique tractors–115 units in all– will parade down Crozet Avenue from the elementary school to the park on Saturday at 5pm.
At Wintergreen Resort, the Fourth of July Jubilee is the biggest event of the year. This old-fashioned block party lasts all weekend with storytelling, an arts and crafts fair on Friday and Saturday, hayrides and hikes, face painting and sidewalk art, a free concert by the local Beatles tribute band #9 Dream, fireworks on Friday night, and oh, so much more.
This weekend there's no excuse for not getting out to wave that flag and have a great time.
The town of Scottsville is due south on Rt. 20. 826-2623. Parking is prohibited at McIntire Park on the Rt. 250 bypass in Charlottesville, but free shuttle service is available from lots at K-Mart and the County Office Building, and handicapped parking is available at Walker Elementary School. You can also park at Charlottesville High School and walk across the bridge to the park or view the fireworks from the grassy knoll at the school. 970-3589. Crozet's carnival happens from 6-11pm on July 3-5. 823-4758. Admission is free for the Wintergreen Jubilee July 4-6. Rt. 664 off Rt. 151 in Nelson County. 325-8180.

Study pinpoints new role of molecule in the health of body's back-up blood circulation
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have discovered that the abundance of tiny specialized blood vessels in a healthy individual and their growth or remodeling into "natural bypass vessels" depends on how much of a key signaling molecule -- called nitric oxide -- is present.
Media contacts: Leslie Lang (919) 966-9366, firstname.lastname@example.com or Stephanie Crayton (919) 966-2860, email@example.com
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
CHAPEL HILL – When the arteries delivering oxygen to our vital organs are obstructed by atherosclerosis or clots, the result is almost always a stroke, heart attack or damage to a peripheral tissue such as the legs (peripheral artery disease). But the severity of tissue injury or destruction from a choked-off blood supply varies from person to person, and may depend in large part on whose circulatory system has the best back-up plan to provide alternate routes of circulation.
This "back-up system" – called the collateral circulation – involves a small number of tiny specialized blood vessels, called collaterals, that can enlarge their diameters enough to carry significant flow and thus bypass a blockage.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have now discovered that the abundance of these vessels in a healthy individual and their growth or remodeling into "natural bypass vessels" depends on how much of a key signaling molecule -- called nitric oxide -- is present.
The study, conducted in animal models, suggests that nitric oxide not only is critical in maintaining the number of collateral vessels while individuals are healthy. It also is key in the amount of collateral vessel remodeling that occurs when obstructive disease strikes.
The research findings recently appeared online in the journal Circulation Research and will be published in the print edition on June 25th. They could one day enable researchers to predict people's risk for catastrophic stroke, myocardial infarction, or peripheral artery disease. Such knowledge could inform individuals with poor collateral capacity to adopt a lifestyle that can help reduce their chances of getting diseases that could further lower their number of collateral vessels.
"If you've got a good number of these natural bypass vessels, you have something of an 'insurance policy' that favors you suffering less severe consequences if you get atherosclerosis or thrombotic disease" said senior study author James E. Faber, PhD, professor of cell and molecular physiology at UNC.
"And if you were born with very few, the last thing you would want to do is subject yourself to environmental factors that might further cut down the number of these vessels." Faber also is a member of the McAllister Heart Institute at UNC. Earlier this year, his team reported that these vessels form early in life and that genetic background has a major impact on how many you end up with.
The factors that put people at risk for developing stroke, heart attack, or peripheral artery disease include the usual suspects -- smoking, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, family history, age. But until recently, researchers didn't know what linked those risk factors together, when it comes to insufficiency of the collateral circulation.
Faber says studies have shown that all of these factors cause the endothelial cells that line our blood vessels to produce less nitric oxide, a "wonder molecule" that protects our vasculature from disease. Now, he says, his group's findings indicate that this molecule is also a critical factor maintaining the health of the collateral circulation.
So Faber and lead study author Xuming Dai, MD, PhD, of UNC's departments of medicine and physiology, wondered whether collateral vessels would be lost if the levels of nitric oxide were suppressed. They counted the number of these vessels in the brains of mice genetically engineered to lack the enzyme – called eNOS -- that makes most of the nitric oxide in blood vessel walls.
The researchers found that from the ages of three months to six months (equivalent to about twenty-one to forty-five years of age in humans) there was a 25 percent reduction in the number of collateral vessels in the mutant mice as compared to normal ones. They also saw the same percentage decrease in collateral vessels supplying the legs, where they were trying to model peripheral artery disease.
Next, the investigators wanted to know if a lack of nitric oxide would affect the way that existing collaterals respond to an obstruction in a main artery.
By blocking an artery in the legs of these genetically engineered mice, Faber and Dai were able to reroute circulation through the collateral vessels. Over a period of 2-3 weeks, the flow of detoured blood usually causes the little collaterals to enlarge their diameters by 3 to 4 fold through a process called collateral remodeling. But the researchers found that such remodeling was impaired in the mutant mice that produced less nitric oxide when compared to their normal counterparts.
In the first such experiment of its kind, Dai then succeeded in surgically removing these tiny collaterals from the mice and scanned their entire genomes for differences between the mutant and normal rodents that might explain this variation in remodeling.
"The only category of genes that was dramatically different between the two was the cell cycle control genes, genes that are involved in the proliferation of cells in the vascular wall—a process that's required for collaterals to remodel," said Dai, a clinical cardiology fellow receiving basic science training in Faber's laboratory. "This is an important function of eNOS that had not been discovered before."
Faber says that possessing a variant form of the eNOS gene that results in loss of collaterals may be one more item on the list of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. There is already evidence that healthy people may vary up to ten-fold in the abundance of their collateral circulation, so the trick may be figuring out a way to upgrade that back-up plan for those who are lacking.
"If we can figure out how these unique vessels are made and maintained in healthy tissues, we hope we can then uncover how to induce them to be made with treatments in patients who don't have enough," Faber said.
The UNC research was funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.

This software is still in beta status. You have to expect problems.
If you experience any bugs or glitches please look in the Known Issues section of this post. If the problem is not there send me a message.
- This app is developed by me and Sony did not contribute to the development of this software
- A personal note from me: I will not use the trademark LocationFree or the brand name Sony in the App (especially in the title)
I do however want to thank the people at Sony (and sonyericsson). They were very active to find a solution so i can distribute this app. Their recent opensource engagement seems to pay out, for people like me.
Today the 1.0.4 Version was released. It includes support for Japanese Basestation, different color systems (NTSC/...), experimental recording functionality...
The official site of this app is theretv.zero997.com. I have also added a commenting system to the site. You can now put your feature requests and bug reports directly in the comments.
The current status of the software is (as of 02/12/2012):
- Compatible to all known BaseStations (LF-B1, LF-B10, LF-PK1, LF-B20, LF-V30)
- Support for EU, US and JP models
- Switch between MPEG4 and H.264(on supported BaseStations)
- Recording of streams to MKV files (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Remote control support
- Registration works from within the app
- Fullscreen playback
- Works over Wifi/3G/4G
- Selectable stream quality
- Advanced performance settings (adjustable scaling filter/adjustable frame dropping)
- Change the encoder settings of the BaseStation (framerate/videosize)
- Change the video source
- Support for the integrated tuner
Upcoming features
- Recording of shows directly on the device (like a DVR)
- Timed recordings
Thanks to my testers: insanenyc, Tommyboy_65_98, Mister_Mxyzptlk, Jim_IT
Just on a side note, for all those people asking in other threads why no one made a LocationFree player even though Sony put the source code online:
The code released from sony is just an excerpt of an opensource library they used to stream the data everything else is closed source.
List of tested devices:
- HTC Thunderbolt
- Nexus S
- Glaxy Tab 10.1
- HTC Inspire (overclocked to 1,5Ghz) : works
- Motorola XOOM : works
- Toshiba Thrive : works
- Droid X : works
- HP Touchpad : works
- HTC Desire (not overclocked) : works although it is a bit too slow
- HTC Wildfire: works but very very slow
First message 02/03/2012
Over the last month i've reverse engineered the Sony LocationFree Protocol and started the development of an Android client.
Update 02/05/2012:
The current release improves the frame dropping mechanism. This should result in better picture quality on slower devices. If the user sets a frame dropping factor the frames are only dropped at the end of a GOP. Thus the dropped frames are immediatly followed by an IFrame. This means that the frames following a dropped frame can be decoded without any errors.
The synchronization between audio/video has been improved. The audio decoder can tell the video decoder to drop frames if the delay becomes too big, this means that video frames are dropped before the audio decoder has to drop anything, which should result in better audio quality.
The remote control can now be shown/hidden.
Update 02/07/2012:
The encoded video size can now be set. The framerate of the encoder can be set.
Update 02/07/2012:
The support for LF-B10 BaseStations is now included
Update 02/08/2012:
Preliminary support for LF-V30 BaseStations. Video still has problems.
Added support for the second video source
Update 02/10/2012:
The display problems of the remote control that some testers experienced are fixed now.
The support for the LF-V30 BaseStations has been improved. But it's still H264 only
Once the app is installed. It's called ALF Player (Android LocationFree Player)
- When started it presents you with a play icon. Don't just hit it yet, you need to first hit the Menu key and got to preferences (enter Server address/port). You can also enter a hostname. If it does not work try it by directly conecting to the wireless network of the basestation first.
- Choose your remote (The remotes of all testers should be integrated already). If your remote is not listed i haven't extracted it yet.
- Go back to the play button and hit the menu key again.
- Got to registration.
- Set the Registration on the Base Station via the web interface to enabled. You should get a registration which is 8 characters long.
Enter the password exactly as it is displayed (i guess it is always lowercase)
- Press "register". It should display Registration sucessful within a second. If registration does not work look at your base station anyway, it may
have registered but did not detect it correctly.
If that is the case, press back to get to the Play button and press it.
- It should take a few seconds for the stream to start (hopefully).
To activate the remote just touch the screen
To deactivate the remote touch anything except a button
If you have performance problems you have the following options:
- Reduce the Picture size
- Set the scaling filter to fast
- Lower the stream quality
- Activate frame dropping (i.e 50 percent)
- Lower the encoder framerate
- Set the encoded video size to low
Known issues
- FIXED in 1.0.1 On some devices the player crashes before showing any video at all.
- FIXED On some devices the remote control is not displayed correctly
- FIXED The stream from LF-V30 BaseStations may cause trouble and not resync after dropped frames
- PARTIALLY FIXED If the program can't connect it will hang until it crashes

Greeting.* 1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:a 2grace to you and peace from God [our] Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving. 3* We ought to thank God always for you, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith flourishes ever more, and the love of every one of you for one another grows ever greater.b 4Accordingly, we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God regarding your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions you endure.
5This is evidence of the just judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.c 6For it is surely just on God's part to repay with afflictions those who are afflicting you, 7and to grant rest along with us to you who are undergoing afflictions, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, 8in blazing fire, inflicting punishment on those who do not acknowledge God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.d 9These will pay the penalty of eternal ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,e 10when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones* and to be marveled at on that day among all who have believed, for our testimony to you was believed.f
Prayer. 11To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith,g 12* that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him,h in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
* [1:1–2] On the address, see note on Rom 1:1–7 and cf. 1 Thes 1:1.
* [1:3–12] On the thanksgiving, see note on Rom 1:8 and cf. 1 Thes 1:2–10. Paul's gratitude to God for the faith and love of the Thessalonians (2 Thes 1:3) and his Christian pride in their faithful endurance (2 Thes 1:4–5) contrast with the condemnation announced for those who afflict them, a judgment to be carried out at the parousia (2 Thes 1:6–10), which is described in vivid language drawn from Old Testament apocalyptic. A prayer for the fulfillment of God's purpose in the Thessalonians (2 Thes 1:11–12) completes the section, as is customary in a Pauline letter (cf. 1 Thes 1:2–3).
* [1:10] Among his holy ones: in the Old Testament, this term can refer to an angelic throng (cf. also Jude 14), but here, in parallel with among all who have believed, it can refer to the triumphant people of God.
* [1:12] The grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ: the Greek can also be translated, "the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ."
a. [1:1] 1 Thes 1:1.
b. [1:3] 1 Cor 1:4; 1 Thes 1:2; 3:12.
c. [1:5] Phil 1:28; 1 Thes 2:12.
d. [1:8] Ps 79:5–6; Is 66:15; Jer 10:25.
f. [1:10] Ps 89:8; Dn 7:18–22, 27; 1 Thes 3:13.

Don't need unsolicited advice, we are safe in India: Shah Rukh Khan
Mumbai: After a Pakistani minister expressed concern over the safety of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan and asked India to give him adequate security, the actor said today, "I would like to tell all those who are offering me unsolicited advice that we in India are extremely safe and happy. We have an amazing democratic, free and secular way of life."
The controversy over one of India's biggest and most adored celebrities is rooted in a magazine article he wrote last week titled 'Being a Khan'.
Rejecting the debate it has spawned as "nonsense", the actor said at a press conference in Mumbai, "I don't even understand the basis of this controversy. Ironically, the article I wrote – yes it is written by me – was actually meant to reiterate that on some occasions my being an Indian Muslim film star is misused by bigots and narrow-minded people who have misplaced religious ideologies for very, very small gains. And ironically the same has happened through this article once again."
In the piece in Outlook Turning Point, the 47-year-old had written, "There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighbouring nation rather than my own country – this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my original homeland."
In reaction, over the weekend, Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, who India holds responsible for its worst-ever terror attack, said the star could move to India. Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said yesterday, "He (Shah Rukh) is born Indian and he would like to remain Indian, but I will request the government of India (to) please provide him security."
The Indian government was cutting in its response.
"We are quite capable of looking after the security of our own citizens… let him (Malik) worry about security of his own," Home Secretary RK Singh told reporters in New Delhi.

Anne Hathaway is gearing up for a trip to "Rio" – and she's bringing Neil Patrick Harris with her.
The two stars are in talks to lend their voices to the upcoming big screen animated feature, "Rio," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Access' Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2010
"Rio" centers on the adventures of a nerdy macaw who leaves the comforts of his cage in chilly Minnesota for the exotic city of Rio de Janeiro.
Production is slated to begin later this year, with an April 2011 release date planned.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Fall Movies 2009
Also in talks to join the cast is former "Lost" and "300" star Rodrigo Santoro.
Both Hathaway and Harris have delved into the animated world before – Hathaway lent her voice to 2005's "Hoodwinked!" while Emmy host Harris voiced a character in the recent release "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."
Hathaway, who last appeared in "Bride Wars," will next be seen in the ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," opening in February 2010, alongside Julia Roberts, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and many more.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Anne Hathaway
She recently wrapped production as the White Queen in Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland."
Fresh off his gig as host of the Emmys, Harris – who also stars in CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" — is currently filming the teen romance film "Beastly," opposite Vanessa Hudgens and Mary-Kate Olsen.

NEARFest X (2008) Event Program
This post is in my series regarding the North East Art Rock Festival (NEARFest). You can find all of my posts regarding NEARFest here and I started the series here.
At each NEARFest, the Festival organizers created a weekend event program. I was lucky enough to have purchased one from all of the Festivals I attended, and I will post photographs of them all here. These programs were expertly crafted with many beautiful photographs and well written descriptions and histories and such. Of course, they also contain their fair share of ads, as one may expect. I got most (maybe all) of the programs I purchased at NEARFest over the years autographed by the artist who drew its cover and, in this case, that was Yes and Asia cover artist Roger Dean.
I was able to purchase a program at NEARFest X (2008), and I thought it would be fun to post it here for prog rock fans who may not have had the opportunity to go to the Festival and/or purchase the program. Accordingly, I took photographs of each page of the program and posted them below.
I also posted a review of NEARFest X (2008) which you can see here. The review contains many photographs from the event.

This thread will be updated whenever there is a new submission on the Preset Marketplace, which is live now.
If you've got a helpful effects preset/composite shot/project file you'd like to share with the community, please email me the following:
I'm hoping this can turn out to be something really useful, thank you!
New on the Marketplace:
Submission now live from Shattered Prism Studios:
Hey there. Is it possible to make it so that the thumbnails points you to a video showcasing the effect, rather than instantly downloading the .zip file, if you have that by default in your browser?
Also, sorry for the clutter my question/answer may cause.
That is a pro feature of the gallery plugin I'm using, which I'm willing to buy later on if the Marketplace is successful.
Now available:
Hehe--I need to go through my old projects and really separate out a few things to get my first couple of preset packages ready for upload. I'm pretty sure the first one is going to be a Particle Explosions pack. I think I'll need to put HF2U back on my machine so the explosions that go back that far can be properly saved out for earlier versions. Second pack will be some lower thirds... Again, wanting to pull from projects going back to HF2U. THEN some more weapons blasts, and, again, some going back to HF2U.
Nice seeing other users sharing as well. I think this iteration of a preset sharing site is going to work out better than the one Majahr started with Hitfilm 1. Larger user base for one thing.
Thanks a lot for making this @inScapeDigital
And to the other users who contribute ,really appreciate it~
Maybe I could also one day ,but I have yet to own a copy
Nice to see you put out of how to do it as well,
Also yeah the previews would be nice, and will push more people , as I a new visitor would like to see what I'm getting ,sorry about the cost , : <
But I can see how that could only do good than harm ~
Again thanks ~ I'm still new -ish to HF but this is really cool and I see this going somewhere
Just added:
Might it be possible to put the text over the thumbnail permanently?
It looks cool'n'all with the text sliding up when you hover over it, but it'll get hard to find things like that when there are more presets.
Also: could there be a search order filter? Alphabetical and Latest would be useful starts. Later on, filtering by HF3 only, HF4 only, Express(es) only, with/without addons etc. might be appropriate?
And you said movies require a site upgrade, but how about animated GIFs? 5-6 frames would be enough to show the effect in motion - if it has any.
@Palacono When I was setting the gallery up I went back and forth on whether or not I should have the text be there the whole time. I decided on the way it is now so that the thumbnail could shine through, but I'd be willing to change it if it helps visibility.
I don't believe a sort is available in either the free or pro version. I'll try uploading a GIF when I get home.
The reason I ask is that just searching for one I wanted to try meant I had to hover over them all because the thumbnail didn't jump out at me so much. It was the GoPro one, BTW.
I know it doesn't look like the others, but as several of the others looked fairly familiar, I got particle / glow / blob blindness and couldn't see the wood for the trees.
Perhaps a stripe/colour thing for categories too? like Grades, Particle effects, Other stuff I'm sure you'll think of?
I like the text on the Thumbnails
I now have another teeny suggestion - I love what you're doing BTW, not meaning to be critical, just...ummm... helpful?
Standard filenames for the downloads?
I keep everything I've ever downloaded, because it's useful to have, and filenames that aren't unique or descriptive get lost easily. Even if I expand the Zips into a folder called Presets, the folders within would just be named after the Zips.
Yes, I could rename the Zip file before I extract it, but...I'm lazy.
very cool, thanks for taking the suggestions, like the site updates, *pats on the back* Good Job XD
You want me to do some work after I've been given this free thing that someone put a lot of effort into making ....!? That's completely unacceptable and I resent you even sugge...oh, alright then.
Just released a Chromatic Aberration preset and project file, as well as a tutorial on how to use them: https://youtu.be/fqKNHFG-S68
Awwwe, you said you were going to set the feather strength to 250 but only went to 100. :^( It's still a most excellent tutorial though! 3 thumbs up!!!
Wow, excellent. This is the first time that I am considering ADDING CA to an image.
Oh wow thanks for this! I have been trying to achieve this effect for one of my shots in my new short film. Now I can!
Just added:
Great idea inScapeDigital
Thanks for setting this up and thanks for the free lens dirt files. Still learning Hitfilm but i be sure to send any presets i make
Thanks @Digital_Alchemist!

Story highlights
- Government says Yale "largely under-reported" allegations of sexual harassment
- 16 students filed a formal complaint that helped spawn the federal investigation
- Yale has initiated policy changes as a result of the complaint and investigation
The U.S. Department of Education reached a settlement with Yale University on Friday, acknowledging the school "largely under-reported" allegations of sexual harassment, but has since made changes to its policies to resolve accusations it allowed a "sexually hostile environment" on campus.
Russlynn Ali, the department's assistant secretary for civil rights, said the school's process for reporting sexual harassment had been "confusing to students" and "that records of their complaints and their outcomes were not adequately kept."
The federal investigation was spawned in 2011 by a 26-page complaint filed by 16 students following a controversial video released online that showed fraternity recruits yelling chants encouraging rape as they marched through campus. The complaint also followed reports of a party in which undergraduate students were allegedly asked to strip naked.
Yale students were "not made aware of the resources available to victims of sexual harassment and violence," said Ali, whose investigation "revealed allegations of sexual harassment beyond what was included in the (2011) complaint."
Over a four-year period, there were 13 documented cases of sexual harassment, an illustration of the underreporting that went on at the school.
Under the agreement, the university will not face disciplinary action with the understanding that it keeps in place policy changes instituted after the complaint was filed. The school must report on its progress to the Office of Civil Rights until May 2014.
Yale has agreed to address the "immediate concerns and put systems in place to help prevent future Title IX discrimination," Ali said, referring to the federal gender-equity law.
The university "fully cooperated" with the investigation and didn't wait until its completion to initiate policy changes, she added. Those measures include increased training and staff dedicated to responding to and preventing sexual harassment and violence.
The university said in a statement Friday that it was "pleased ... with the terms of our voluntary agreement."
"Yale has sought to engage the entire community to combat sexual misconduct in a transparent, consistent, and comprehensive manner," the statement said. "Prior to the filing of the Title IX complaint, the university had begun implementing its University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct ... to address complaints of sexual misconduct."
The New Haven, Connecticut-based school is not the only university recently investigated by the federal government over its policies regarding sexual harassment and violence.
Last year, the Department of Education reached a similar settlement with Notre Dame University after investigating "student-on-student sexual harassment" which included sexual violence.
A student at nearby St. Mary's College "committed suicide after reporting that she was sexually assaulted by another student," according to the department's release.
Between 2008 and 2011, the department's Office for Civil Rights reported a 78% increase in sexual harassment complaints.

Dear all,I am an arboriculturist and only use CAD intermittently and for very basic things. I've muddled through CAD before on a trial and error basis and it's not a good way to do your work!Please could someone help me out with a very basic tutorial/run through. All I need CAD for is to annotate a site plan given to me by an architect. The plan I recieve has the trees plotted on and I just need to annotate that plan to show protective fences and such. For this reason I need everything to be in metres (not inches) and to be able to scale it and put a map legend on.There is literally nothing else I need to do.If some kind soul could see it in their heart to help me out I will be ever so grateful!Yours in hope and anticipationPhil
Hi WD,I have v20. Further to the first issue you guided me on (unit space), when I altered the units as per wiki and checked the box that says 'convert units after alteration' although it changed them from mm to m, it was not to scale with the drawing. I was using 'metric', absolute 1:1 ratio. Any thoughts other than 'get some basic cad training!'?All the bestP
Hi Bob,Many thanks for your reply. When I put the page at 1:1 in page setup the paper template disappears to a minute dot. I had to stretch the viewport originally when i changed the scale to 1:500 in the viewport properties box and so maybe that's why?Is it my template that's the problem? Kind regardsPhul
...In model space should I have the scaling as 1:1 (in space units)? It always defaults to 1:1000.I wondered if this might be the reason that my paper space absolutely dwarfs the the drawing when I create the viewport from model space and insert it into paper space....Phil
Hi Bob,That's really great. Thanks a lot!When I get the drawings in I create a view and open a paper space. I then insert a viewport and then go to page setup. Put both paper sizes to the same and put the print scale to 1:1.I then click on viewport and set the scale to what I need usually 1:200-1:500.This has never worked and so there's definitely something I'm not doing. What do you think it is? Thanks again bob. It's much appreciated! Many thanksPhil
Hi Alvin,Yes, I'm checking the 'fixed' box to get the scaling.All the bestPhil
Hi Alvin,Many thanks for yoyur continued support with this! I have attached my most recent drawing. I have created a viewport (TCP) and inserted it into 2 paper space (Paperspace 1 - 1:100 and paperspace 2 1:200). I have fixed the scales and set the paper sizes in paperspace to A3 and as you can see, I just get a very close up view of the drawing. All I want to be able to do is to create a viewport in model space and then put it into paperspace at A3 size and scaled at around 1:100-1:500.Whenever i send the file to you or Bob, you send it back scaled, and I can't see what you're doing differently to me. I am genuinely perplexed! I am using TC 20 deluxe.All the best to you.Phil
What are the actual dimensions? I go to modelspace, take a measurement, it says these 4 rooms are 88211'-11 5/16" wide. There's also lots of space dust.Also, Modelspace is English and the Paperspaces are Metric.
Alvin, here's a V19 copy.

And let him know that I have found this to happen more often with Drawings Imported/converted from AutoCAD Drawing files.I guess either:Phil missed that PostPhil is unaware of what is meant by "space dust", and how it can cause issues
...Alvin very kindly sent me his edit of a drawing which worked well, but I can't replicate it from the original i was sent....
Hi all,I have managed to get the original dwg file, which seems to have more info on it.I hope this helps.I am grateful for all your work. You are life savers!Kind regardsPhil

Hello I need to paint the entire screen to white. One way to do so is to create a window with full screen and show that window later. But this method is a bit slow, it takes me about several hundred msecs before it finish. Is there any faster way to achieve that?

If you can't have a home in New York, just bring New York into your home.
Lifelong Williamsburg, Brooklyn resident Ray Simone has spent most of his life collecting old photo negatives. In the 1970s and 80s, the photographer/collector would scour flea markets, street fairs, stoop sales and estate sales all across New York City and buy all the old camera negatives he could find.

Priced out: Rains, City dampen Fridays' parade
With six of the first 10 Fridays After Five concerts cancelled or at least "affected" by rain, can the popular concert series survive its first season as a pay-per-view?
In March, the concert series run for the last 15 years by the Charlottesville Downtown Foundation (CDF) announced that a slump in sponsorships signaled the end of the free-for-all and that it would try to refill the coffers by charging $3-5 per concert. Then came the rains of May and June.
"I can't say [the rain] hasn't hurt our bottom line," says Tricia Goodloe, "but with a few more good weeks, we should be able to continue throughout the summer."
It won't be easy, however. On the eve of this summer's concert series, the city put a harsher contract before the CDF.
Gone are the days of paying the city just $550 per week to hold the event. The current contract obligates the CDF to pay $4,700 per week for such things as police security for the entire Downtown Mall– plus electricity, stage rental, and city workers.
And unless a decision to cancel is made by 2pm on Friday, says CDF director Gail Weakley, rain doesn't waive the weekly fee. If event-ruining rain hits later, she adds, "we're staring at $5,000."
Add in the band's fee– typically due whether or not the event goes on– and Weakley's headache worsens.
Low attendance has plagued this year's series even in weeks with good weather. This year's best turnout was for the May 2 Terri Allard show, when 3,000 people bought $3 tickets. Other weeks, unfortunately, have seen closer to 1,300 tickets sold, says Weakley.
What about beer sales? Both Goodloe and Weakley insist they're not as lucrative as they seem. After paying employees and charities, and purchasing the beer and cups, "We make about 27 cents per $3 beer sold," Weakley says.
The dark cloud over CDF doesn't end there. Fridays isn't the only event that's been adversely affected by terms of the new contract, Weakley explains. CDF now must pay the city fees for other events even those such as Court Square Days that are still free to the public.
"We had to cancel Kid's Parade," Weakley says.
Why must CDF pay so steeply?
"Fairness," says City spokesman Maurice Jones. All entities that charge the public to see shows produced at the Amphitheater or on other City property– are expected to pay. To treat Fridays differently would set the wrong precedent, Jones explains.
For instance, he says, the Blues and Brews festival that happens each September is subject to the same basic fees as Fridays.
But what about First Night Virginia, the alcohol-free New Year's Eve event? It's exempted from all fees, Jones explains, as part of the city's sponsorship arrangement, despite the admission fee. And since there is no alcohol served as part of the event, hiring police security is not an issue.
How about DMB manager Coran Capshaw's long-pending deal with the city for Amphitheater improvements? Will that mean more bad news for CDF? Could Fridays After Five go the way of the dinosaurs, making way for a new species of music event, perhaps Capshaw After Five?
Not according to Jones.
"I don't know of any other possibilities," he says. "We'd like to see it continue and be successful into the future."Read more on: Fridays After Five

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond is featured in Mash-Up, the eighth episode of Season One. It is sung by Puck, while playing his guitar, as a "personal tribute to a musical Jewish icon," Neil Diamond.
This is Puck's first solo performance on Glee. He sings it for the group after Rachel says to him that she needs a man who is brave enough to sing a solo for her. In order to stay in the relationship with Rachel and prove to her that he can do it, Puck sings this song in front of the whole Glee Club. However, Quinn seems very impressed by the solo and stares at Puck longingly. The rest of the New Directions join in towards the end.
Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Puck with New Directions:
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh, I've been inclined to believe it never would oh no no..
- This was the first time a male has sang a solo in the Choir Room.
- This is Puck's first released solo.
- Puck sings the song for Rachel to show that he can sing a solo and that he can handle her. This is the first song that is dedicated to Rachel.
- A longer version of this song was later released where you can clearly hear the New Directions doing backup.
- Mark stated at 2014 PaleyFest that this was his all-time favorite Glee song to record. He also said that his mother is a huge fan of Neil Diamond, the original artist of the song.
- This song has sold over 268,000 digital downloads in the US.
- This song debuted and peaked at #34 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
- As Puck sings to Rachel, they show Brittany sitting in front of Quinn. When the camera zooms in on Quinn, the chair in front of her is empty but as the performance ends, Brittany is shown in her seat again.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Garden oasis: 1910 farmhouse beckons in Crozet
Address: 5964 St. George Avenue
Neighborhood: Crozet
Asking: $335,000
Assessment: $328,900
Year Built: 1910
Size: 2,432 fin sq. ft. / 400 unfin.
Land: 1.23 acres
Agent: Jim McVay 434-962-3420
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
Conveniently situated off I-64, with family-friendly features (Mint Springs, anyone?) and a cozy town center, it's no surprise that Crozet is the up-and-coming community for young families. While new properties abound, prospective homeowners should also check out this 1910 farmhouse on a small side street within walking distance of the Mudhouse and Crozet Pizza.
The entrance— bracketed by white pillars and framed by a wide front porch— leads into a quiet and comfortable interior with shuttered windows facing the street. There's no foyer, though— it was destroyed years ago.
Over the nearly 100 years of its existence, the house has been renovated many times and bears the stamp of former owners: a wall was knocked down and the living room enlarged; a porch off the kitchen was enclosed to serve as an informal dining or family room.
Other renovations were less inspired. In the actual dining room, the original wallpaper was painted over, creating a streaky, bumpy appearance, and the plaster ceiling is cracked. Another odd feature is an old window AC unit kept in the study after central air was installed— apparently prying it out would have left a hole in the wall.
By and large, however, the downstairs is comfortable and expansive. The country kitchen was recently renovated, and has lots of natural light, a gas range, and plenty of cabinets for storage (although we'd wish for more counter space and would nix the Formica). In addition to updating the kitchen and bathrooms, the owners also installed a new heat pump and oil furnace, so the house will stay cozy in winter.
There's no need to turn a guest bedroom into a study because, aside from the formal and informal dining rooms and living room, there's also a small room off the kitchen with built-in bookshelves. Because there's so much space downstairs, future owners may want to turn the study and the adjoining bathroom into a guest bedroom suite.
This would be an attractive option for older guests, because the three bedrooms are upstairs. A large 14' x 10' landing (big enough to serve as a sitting room) leads to the bedrooms as well as to the large bathroom, which is the only one on the top floor. The master bedroom adjoins an enclosed porch (used as an office by the current owners) that could be remodeled into a bathroom. A second bedroom is also large, but the third would be cramped with anything larger than a twin bed.
Outside, a rustic one-car garage has an attached storage shed. The house is situated close to the street, which works well as the street is quiet. This means more space for the backyard, which is so spacious that we had to peer to see the neighbors. A flagstone patio adjoins the kitchen, which looks out onto the tree-lined yard and with raised garden beds. The lot cannot be subdivided, but if a buyer is dreaming of rental propery, construction is allowed.
This place could use several improvements— chiefly the dining room walls and the creation of a third bathroom— but nevertheless offers move-in condition. Homey and comfortable, it's easy to imagine kids riding their bikes in the neighborhood and grown folks walking to the coffeehouse for their morning lattes.
It's reminiscent of older Charlottesville homes near UVA but at half the cost. While the asking price for this property is reasonable, it should be noted that the current owners purchased the place for $227,500 just six years ago and are now adding $100,000 to the price tag. The price increase doesn't seem quite matched by the minor renovations, but appears more a testament to the owners' belief in the increasing value of Crozet real estate, as reflected in the assessment (the land alone is worth $114,200).
As Crozet expands, it offers convenient features (a new Harris Teeter) as well as old favorites (pick-your-own at Chiles Peach Orchard). If that sounds appealing, put this place on your list.

When Olive Garden opens, I bet the price goes up another $100,000! Thank God Crozet is expanding. It will be almost as nice as Holymead before long.
The legal office at Formica Corporation sent us a letter asking us to be sure that when using the word Formica that we capitalize it and only use it as a proper name when we're absolutely certain we're talking about Formica and not a generic-- that the proper short generic name is probably laminate.

Heart is an excellent muscle to eat: it's lean and flavorful (meaty but not organy—it's a hard working muscle, not squishy spleen), it's got a good bite, and it's inexpensive (I bought the three-pound grass-fed beef heart for six bucks last Saturday). And one more thing: it puts to use a cut that is often thrown away; it's important that we do our best to make use of all parts of the animals we kill for our food.
I use a beef heart here, but you can use a veal heart which is a little more tender and mild. I first had beef heart a couple summers ago when Pardus visited. He stuck it on skewers, a good strategy because you invariably end up with different sized chunks after trimming. Last year, during Pardus's visit, we ate at Lola, where then chef Derek Clayton did an appetizer pairing veal heart with fingerlings, a celery root puree, mushrooms and a salsa verde (he tried grinding heart scraps for family meal meatloaf; he recalls a very unhappy family that day). You could do a beef heart tartare (here's a general tartare post or see the link below for Chris Cosentino's beef heart tartare puttenesca), a beef heart stir-fry, add it to meat you're grinding for burgers, cure it like corned beef, cover it with coriander and pepper and smoke it for beef heart pastrami. You name it.
To prepare the beef heart for cooking, cut away all the fat, any obviously squishy tissue, connective tissue, valves, papillary muscles and tendineae attached to the valve flaps; it should be obvious by sight what's good to eat and what's not. You want clean dense muscle only; you'll have a lot of trim—don't make yourself too crazy trying to get every last bit. Here's a short video of how to prepare and grill beef heart. (Thank you for the video work, James; one day maybe you'll have actual talent to work with.)
In her splendid new book coming, Odd Bits: How To Cook the Rest of the Animal, Jennifer McLagan notes that you can also braise the heart (the book's out next month, highly recommend it). If you do, she rightly recommends leaving the exterior fat on. I don't think I'll ever braise the heart, though. It would turn the distinctive bite and flavor into run of the mill brisket-like beef. Stick to preparations that will feature it's unique texture and flavor.
Grilled Beef Heart with Herbed Vinaigrette
Serves 6
- 1 beef heart, trimmed and cut into slices or chunks
- salt as needed
- 1/2 large shallot, roughly chopped (save the other half for the vinaigrette)
- pepper to taste
- olive oil as needed
- arugula as needed (a handful per serving)
For the vinaigrette:
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 large shallot, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 chopped tablespoon each: oregano, parsley, chives
- Liberally salt the beef, add the shallot and oil, toss and refrigerate till youre ready to cook it (an hour is optimal, but for as long as 24 hours).
- For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, shallot and salt and allow to sit for 5 or 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining herbs.
- Grill the beef over hot direct coals. Depending on your grill and how you've cut your meat, you may want to grill the pieces in a basket or put them onto water-soaked skewers. Grill to medium rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Arrange arugula on plates, top each with beef heart, and spoon the vinaigrette over the meat.

- Full Description
Our Wormeries work by harnessing the surface feeding nature of the hungry tiger worms contained within. This happens naturally as it's a trait of these composting worms to live near the surface rather than deep into the compost. However, by adding a moisture mat to your Wormery you make it easier for the worms to find the surface and encourage them upwards.
They can also help prevent occasional fly infestations by adding another barrier to the outside world. Simply pop a damp mat on the surface of the food waste in your Wormery and leave it there.When you add new food waste, add it just underneath the mat.
The mat, being made of Coir and being natural will eventually degrade and be eaten up itself by the worms, leaving behind a rich organic vermicompost.
Our Moisture Mats are available in the following sizes (cm) to fit each Wormery:
- Junior Wormery (Round) - 25cm (w) x 1cm (d)
- Midi Wormery (Round) - 29cm (w) x 1cm (d)
- Indoor Womery (Stainless Steel) (Round) - 29cm (w) x 1cm(d)
- Rainbow Wormery (Round) - 29cm (w) x 1cm (d)
- Original Womery (Rectangular) - 34cm (w) x 40cm (h) x 1cm (d)
- Tiger Womery (Square) - 36cm (w) x 1cm (d)

The popular conservative response to those who want to increase the nation's minimum wage, which currently stands at $7.25 per hour, is that doing so will inevitably kill jobs at small businesses. However, studies have shown that raising the minimum wage does not kill jobs, but most certainly helps workers at the low end of the wage scale.
And according to a report from the National Employment Law Project, many of the companies that employ minimum wage workers could certainly afford to increase wages, since, contrary to popular perception, they are the nation's biggest corporations. Those companies have largely recovered from the recession:
— The majority (66 percent) of low‐wage workers are not employed by small businesses, but rather by large corporations with over 100 employees;
— The 50 largest employers of low‐wage workers have largely recovered from the recession and most are in strong financial positions: 92 percent were profitable last year; 78 percent have been profitable for the last three years; 75 percent have higher revenues now than before the recession; 73 percent have higher cash holdings; and 63 percent have higher operating margins (a measure of profitability);
— Top executive compensation averaged $9.4 million last year at these firms, and they have returned $174.8 billion to shareholders in dividends or share buybacks over the past five years.
The three largest employers of minimum wage workers, Wal‐Mart, Yum! Brands (Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC), and McDonald's, all are more profitable than they were before the Great Recession:
House Democrats have been circulating a bill to raise the minimum wage to $10 per hour, catching the wage up to the purchasing power that it had in the 1960s.

The art and science of flying has transformed inconceivably since the first hot air balloon flight by Jacques and Joseph Mongolfier of France in 1783. November is Aviation History Month. This month we celebrate and honor the men, women and events that helped to shape, develop and elevate air travel in a myriad of ways.
As the holiday season kicks in, many air travelers are concerned about the cabin air that they breathe in. Frequent flyers are turning to an easy and convenient travel companion that helps to reduce the intake of bacteria, viruses and other allergens circulating in the cabin air. The Plane Clean Air Filter helps to remove approximately 99.5% of airborne allergens, bacteria and other particles that could make you sick. Replacement filters for the Plane Clean Air Filter includes 1 filter and 2 adhesive gaskets.
Science, engineering and modern technology has certainly shaped the tapestry of transportation history that leaped into a tremendous hallmark for some famous aviation "firsts." Paul Haenlein who operated the first gas powered dirigible (airship or blimp) and the Wright Brothers (Orville and Wilbur) who took the first airplane flight would be absolutely astonished by the progress made due to their pioneering in-flight experimentations. We made tremendous strides in aviation history and to keep our air travel enjoyable now, clean cabin air is the last thing you need to worry about.

Ice Cream As Fertility Aid?
"Ben & Jerry might help you get pregnant, but not in the usual way. A diet rich in ice cream and other high-fat dairy foods may lower the risk of one type of infertility, a study suggests. It sounds too good to be true and probably is, some doctors say. But the findings are bound to get attention because they are from the well-known Nurses Health Study at the Harvard School of Public Health and were published Wednesday in the European journal Human Reproduction."

BERLIN, March 5 (UPI) -- Hollywood actor-director George Clooney has started shooting "The Monuments Men" in Germany, Columbia Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox said Tuesday.
The action-thriller is written by Clooney and his producing partner Grant Heslov. It is based on the book by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter.
Clooney and Heslov are also producing the film through their Smokehouse Productions. The production is their first since winning the Academy Award for Best Picture last month for their work on "Argo."
Starring Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville and John Goodman, "The Monuments Men" is based on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by Franklin Delano Roosevelt with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners, a synopsis said.
Filming is to take place in Germany and the United Kingdom through the end of June. The movie is scheduled for North American release Dec. 18, 2013.
