HIH lottery winner 1/15/10: choppu - 01-15-2010 , 11:55 PM
1. Tell us a bit about yourself.
Well, I am sixteen years old, born and raised in Alabama .Not a redneck, I think that is the only thing I am really touchy about; Gun enthusiast, big surprise huh? I am an avid boxer, even though I get the crap beat out of me quite often. Going to attend Alabama University to chase after a Mechanical Engineering degree, oh and I love death metal. I am a fan of the party liquor, free cookie to anyone who gets the reference.
2. How did you find High Impact Halo, and when?
Good lord, its been a while. I am going with roughly late 2003, my friend showed me how to launch a hog, didnt really think much of it because we just liked to watch them flip through the air, but I started looking for more launches and such and found my way here.
3. What is it that you like about Halo tricks, and what kind of tricks are your favorite to do or see?
They are just fun, its a great thing to spend some time on when I dont feel like getting all competitive and such. I really just love launching stuff: tanks, hogs, and people, whatever is good at the moment. When Halo 2 came out and superbouncing came around, I nearly died, because it was pretty much exactly what I wanted to do in the first one. I really like seeing almost anything though, things that has to be forced into being possible are usually my favorite.
4. Have you discovered any Halo tricks or glitches yourself?
Not really, I really think I found quicker way to speed run one of the early H2 levels, but I am much too lazy to try and prove it now.
5. What is your favorite game from the halo Series?
Definitely H2, the campaign was sub-par to me, but I still enjoyed it, and the multi was just a whole new can of beans. Spent many many hours in custom games, it was just more fun to me than all these new fangled shooters.
6. What other hobbies do you have?
Cars, right now my best friend and I are restoring a 66 Charger. My brother and I raced motocross for about eight years, I am just kinda on and off of that now. Definitely guns, love my guns. Historic, surplus, I do it all.
7. If you could choose, what would you choose and why?
A whole reform of the two party political system, and an eradication of all network news. I say that would do the trick.
8. What is the first video game you ever played?
Something really schlapskiety on an old Atari, shortly after that I discovered my brother had a NES in his room, and so it goes.
9. (From last week's winner) If you could fight any historical figure or famous person, who would it be? - Mr N
George Washington, bet he could hold his own in a bar brawl.
10. If you could ask the next lottery winner one question, what would it be?
Single most influential thing to ever happen in your life?

Breaking NewsThe St. Augustine PD is doing some hardcore backpedaling ... admitting they ACCIDENTALLY told the media Maurice Jones-Drew was charged with battery, when in fact, he hasn't been charged with anything ... yet.
Earlier today, the S.A.P.D. issued a statement to the media ... which stated very clearly, "The [S.A.P.D.] has filed charges of misdemeanor battery against Jacksonville Jaguars player Maurice Jones-Drew that stemmed from an altercation at the Conch House 'Reggae Sundays.'"
Now, a rep for the S.A.P.D. tells TMZ ... they screwed up and "misrepresented" the situation.
According to cops ... no charges have been filed against Jones-Drew, however, he IS being investigated for allegedly punching a security guard in the face ... and is a "person of interest."
Cops say Jones-Drew and his attorney are being cooperative with the investigation. After the investigation is complete, we're told the case will be sent to the State Attorney's Office, which will determine if charges will be filed.

CyArk's 12-person team creates 3D digital models with laser-scanning instruments that replicate a site to within a few millimetres of accuracy.
When some of Iraq's most historic sites were destroyed by war, Ben Kacyra decided to sell his civil engineering company and start a nonprofit in 2003 with the mission of digitally preserving cultural heritage sites throughout the world with 3D laser imaging.
Kacyra, an Iraqi-born US citizen, is providing the open access to those images through his organization, CyArk (short for Cyber Ark).
In the US, CyArk has already created 3D digital images of Mount Rushmore, Spanish missions in Texas, and Tudor Place, home to six generations of George Washington's family.
"We're out to build the Alexandria Library of 3D heritage data," said Tom Greaves, executive director of CyArk.
Iconic sights both old and new
Other sites around the world for which CyArk has already created digital images include the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the ancient Hindu temple complex at Angkor Wat, Easter Island's head statues, Inca ruins in Peru, and Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt. Of course, not all the sites are all that ancient. Next week, CyArk will be in Australia generating a 3D digital image of the Sydney Opera House.
The images have a number of uses, from simply offering educators authentic reproductions for teaching purposes to giving architects and engineers the exacting dimensions they may need to restore or rebuild historic sites ravaged by time and man-made or natural disasters.
Greaves said in an interview that collecting the digital images on disk drives has been expensive, and the current backup process is far to manual. Up until last September, CyArk's digitization projects had only taken 60TB of disk storage, but with more than 500 future projects scheduled, the organization expects its storage needs to grow at 30% per year over the next five years.
In fact, the organization recently upped its storage capacity to 100TB.
"Some time in the next five years we'll hit two petabytes of storage, and we certainly don't want to put two petabytes on disks," Greaves said.
Each 3D image project collects billions of data points, adding up to anywhere from 500GB to 10TB of capacity per project. Up until now, CyArk had been backing up its digital images on USB-connected hard disk drives. Once a disk was filled, it would be driven to a bank in Oakland, California, and stored in a safe deposit box. Of course, getting that backup drive back in the event server drive failure required someone to drive over to the bank and retrieve it. And, as Greaves noted, the disk drives had a relatively short shelf life.
CyArk decided to switch its archive strategy to magnetic tape and purchased a tape carousel that used the linear tape file system (LTFS) open format to record the images. It has also partnered with Iron Mountain to store those images in perpetuity in the company's limestone mine storage facility in Pennsylvania.
CyArk's website has been relatively popular, with 1.5 million hits since going live. CyArk also has an iPad app for viewing the historic sites.
"Visitors to our website can navigate it in 3D," Greaves said.
The website also provides a historic tour of sites, such as the Japanese-American confinement camps that were set up in California during World War II.
"If you visit the sites today, there's not a lot to see, but with our technology today, those camps are recreated the way they were in 1943," Greaves said. "We also worked with Japanese-American societies and captured audio histories. These sites are at risk from earthquakes, wars, acts of terrorism, floods and fires. We think it would be a tragedy for humans to forget where they came from."

In an aggressive effort to quell the damage over his unfortunate "47-percent" comments, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney overhauled his campaign's ad strategy today, pulling all of his existing media placements in favor of a new ad that makes a straightforward appeal to voters.
But Democrats aren't letting Romney get off so easily. Just hours after the new Romney ad launched, the Democratic National Committee released their own video response.
The ad, titled "Those People," uses Romney's own commercial to slam the Republican candidate as out-of-touch with the American people. And the effect is pretty brutal.
Watch the video below:

Happy Tuesday Ladies! I hope your weekend was as great as mine! My football team is going to the National Championships! (GO NOLES!) and my son didn't cry too much when we went to see Santa! I also made quite a few layouts! Today I am spotlighting the Font Challenge which Love Ewe Designs is hosting this month. She found an awesome font to use in a layout.
I am seriously in love with the font "Are You Freakin' Serious?" I think it might be my new favorite! This is a hand written font. But it is much better than my own sloppy handwriting which is why I love to use them! This font is so versatile! It will be so easy to use this font for any layout that is on your list to make! And making a layout for the challenge puts you one step closer to earning our great monthly rewards!
There are so many wonderful layouts already made for this challenge, it was hard for me to pick three! But here is a little inspiration for you!
I just love the facial expressions!
Isn't the quilting awesome!
I am a sucker for big photo masked pictures! If you like these layouts, click on them to leave their creator's some love =).
Remember to fill out a post in our tracking thread if you are playing along with the challenges this month! I am trying to do a couple of challenges I don't normally do this month. There's still tons of time to complete challenges. Hope everyone has a week filled with fun, family and scrapping!

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Following a centuries-old tradition, the young future deacon from Salt Lake City enters the Greek Orthodox sanctuary in Denver. The bishop blesses him in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Christopher Gilbert then is led by the priest three times around the altar, just as a groom leads his wife in an Orthodox wedding ceremony.
Christopher, who has now become Deacon Chrysostomos, is marrying the church, and the priest who leads him is his dad, Father Matthew Gilbert, of Utah's Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.
It is a poignant moment for the son, culminating years as his father's sidekick.
"My first steps as a deacon," Chrysostomos says, "were with him."
And the experience will be replayed again in a few years, when father and son will lead another Gilbert offspring, Aaron, around the altar to take his own vows.
On this Father's Day, the question is: Was it nature or nurture that propelled two sons to dedicate their lives to the church as their priestly parent had?
Being a priest wasn't "something they saw and they liked," says Denise Gilbert, Matthew's wife."The two sons were literally born with an inherent desire to be priests."
So genes may have had something to do with it.
Matthew's mark • Father Matthew's Protestant mother died when he was 9, and his father remarried a Greek Orthodox woman. His stepmother nurtured him in the new faith, as did a Sunday School teacher and parish priest in Bethlehem, Pa.
For him, there was no aha moment of decision, only an ineffable tug toward the priesthood.
"It's a calling," he says. "You just know."
Denise, whose parents were Greek Orthodox, also felt drawn to the priesthood from an early age.
"When I was a little girl, I would watch the priest serving the divine liturgy on Sunday mornings," she says, "and I wanted a life like that."
God heard "the desire of my heart," she says, and drew her to Boston, where she met Matthew, who had "a humility in him that I haven't seen in very many others."
Together, the couple reared six children five boys and one daughter in the church, where they were embraced in that Christian community and taught the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The church has given them purpose and identity. Now, Denise says, it's their turn.
"God has been so merciful to us," she says. "The least we can do is to give our children back to him."
All six kids have chosen service-oriented careers a nurse, a social worker, a public service lawyer, and the two priests. Another one is contemplating becoming an Orthodox monk, which would require him to live in a monastery.
Each path is different, of course, even for the priest brothers one has chosen lifelong celibacy and the other is engaged to be married.
Parallel spheres • The Greek Orthodox Church views marriage and celibacy as equally valid ways to serve God.
"Orthodox churches show no preference for one at the expense of the other," according to the Orthodox Research Institute, an online reference library, "preferring not to advance theological reasons in justification of one option rather than another."
Quoting Clement of Alexandria, the institute says, "celibacy and marriage each have their own functions and specific services to the Lord." Because of this, "we pay homage to those whom the Lord has favored with the gift of celibacy and admire monogamy and its dignity."
The church believes the choice dates to Christianity's earliest days, when some of Jesus' disciples were married and others were not.
Centuries later, the Eastern churches split from the Roman Catholic Church over a variety of issues, including the latter's mandatory celibacy for priests. In the East, there continued to be choices, though bishops had to forgo marriage.
Today, the rules are clear: A priest can be married, but he must wed before he is ordained. If he divorces, he can remain a priest only if he remains celibate. If he remarries, he loses his priesthood. Bishops, on the other hand, are still drawn from celibate priests (although most parish priests, like Father Matthew, are married). Monks are also celibate and live together in communities.
The eldest child in Gilbert family, Deacon Chrysostomos treasures his parents and siblings. He plans to continue to draw on those relationships. But the decision to be celibate, he says, was not difficult.
"Everything in my life is the church," he says, from his office at the church's North American headquarters in New York. "I have felt called to this since I was a little boy. I want to give my life to it for the rest of my days."
When he was 11, young Christopher chanted during services, when his father had no one else to do so. The son went on visits, met the sick, observed every element of the divine liturgy, practiced intoning the holy Greek verses.
It was awe-inspiring, he says, to watch his gentle, keenly discerning dad act as "spiritual father" to the whole community, ministering to those in need during their most joyous times as well as through their deepest sorrows.
Now, the extroverted 28-year-old says, his father sometimes calls him for advice.
"Our roles have somewhat shifted," he says, adding, "and matured."
Soon it will be Aaron's turn.
Mirroring dad • Not long after Aaron the fifth child was born, the family members settled first in Price and then, in 1999, Salt Lake City. Before that, they had lived in Chicago, Spokane, Wash., and several places in California.
The children were used to making new friends and to being considered outsiders, while bonding to one another through evening prayers and daily scripture reading.
Despite his ever-growing religious responsibilities, Father Matthew always managed to find time for basketball, hiking, camping, long trips in their 15-passenger van and impetuous ice cream outings.
Through it all, young Aaron sensed his own growing vocation for the priesthood, he says. "I always felt Christ calling me."
So the quiet, studious young man ("a real thinker," says Chrysostomos) graduated a year early from Riverton High, so he could get started on his journey.
Aaron left at 17 for Hellenic College Holy Cross School of Theology in Brookline, Mass., described as "the intellectual, educational and spiritual center of the Greek Orthodox Church in America," where both his father and brother had studied.
He graduated this year and is home for the summer, where he like his older brother once did will accompany his father-priest through all his assignments, taking part in services and helping church members.
Aaron is similarly moved by watching his dad "doing God's work with sincerity and earnestness."
The Gilberts have a saying in their family: "Have love and travel the world while serving the church," and that is exactly what the 21-year-old hopes to do.
He plans to marry in 2014 and be ordained a deacon soon after that.
The fourth child, Andrew, may one day join his brothers in the priesthood, but as a monk.
Father Matthew and Denise Gilbert, who works full time in Holy Trinity's office, did not plan to have clergy among their children, they say. It was not something they pushed or even encouraged.
But they do have another saying: What the child learns, the adult does not abandon.
That seems to have happened.
Fathers by the numbers
70.1 million • Estimated number of fathers across the nation in 2008, the most recent year for which figures are available.
24.4 million • Number of fathers who were part of married-couple families with children younger than 18 in 2012.
1.96 million • Number of single fathers in 2012; 16 percent of single parents were men.
189,000 • Estimated number of stay-at-home dads in 2012.
21,418 • Number of sporting-goods stores in 2010.
15,542 • Number of hardware stores in 2010.

Lady Gaga organising charity cycle ride
The pop superstar launched her own charity, the Born This Way Foundation, earlier this year (12) to empower youngsters and stop bullying, and she recently won praise from campaigners for talking publicly about her own battles with eating disorders and self-esteem issues.
She is now stepping up her fight by teaming with Soul Cycle, a U.S. company which offers indoor cycle spinning classes, to put together a charity bike ride in aid of her foundation.
Lady Gaga has dubbed the event the Ride for Compassion and she is urging her fans to get in touch and share their ideas.
In a series of posts on Twitter.com, she writes, "I'm organising right now with Soul Cycle a Body Revolution cycling 'Ride For Compassion' with the BTW Foundation. Please send us your ideas... We want to know what is important to you in relation to body image and helping those w (with) disabilities. What do u (sic) want this ride to accomplish?"

All Blues, Amazons to meet in Women's Premier League Championship Final
Cherry Hill, N.J. – The South Jersey Rugby Pitch held day one of the 2013 Women's Premier League Championship Friday as Twin Cities Amazons and the Berkeley All Blues clinched their spots in the Final with wins against Beantown and the Glendale Raptors, respectively.
Undefeated in the six-match regular season, Twin Cities dominated the first half of the day's third match. Women's Eagle Lynelle Kugler opened the scoring just two minutes into the game and Sylvia Braaten, Elizabeth Dusbabek and Andrea Vollmuth added a try each.
Melanie Denham began a comeback for Beantown on the other side of the half with two tries in the first six minutes, but the Amazons never relinquished the lead. Kaelene Lundstrom, Morgan Johnson and Dusbabek rounded out the scoring in the 43-10 win.
The only other undefeated club, Glendale, found it tough against the reigning WPL champion All Blues in the final match of the day. With five Women's Eagles from the 2013 IRB Nations Cup, the Raptors looked poised to ease into Sunday's Championship game. Berkeley, however, had a different plan for the challengers. In just the first minute of the match, Blair Pasut opened the scoring. Glendale responded 10 minutes later with Eagle Hannah Stolba's try and conversion, but fellow Eagle Sarah Walsh gave the All Blues a 12-7 halftime lead.
The game was tightly-contested as both teams searched for the championship berth. Stolba kicked a penalty goal in the 62nd minute to draw the Raptors within two, but two Berkeley tries in the final 10 minutes sealed the 27-10 win.
Atlanta Harlequins' only win all year came against the San Diego Surfers until Friday. Jessica Peterson put the 'Quins on the board first in the 13th minute, but a missed conversion allowed New York to take the lead with a Lisa Rosselin try and Mary McCarthy conversion in the 23rd minute.
Atlanta was awarded a penalty try in the opening minutes of the second half. Jessica Wooden converted for a 12-7 lead. Rebecca Brafman scored and converted her own try minutes later to put New York back in front, but the Harlequins reached the try zone twice more before the end of the match to take the 22-14 win.
San Diego advanced to the fifth-place match against the Harlequins thanks to a hat trick of tries from Niua Williams. The Surfers scored the first three tries – two from Williams and one from Lauren Daly – against the DC Furies in the second match of the day.
Trailing 7-20 with 10 minutes remaining in the match, Jaime Albarelli gave the Furies hope with a try in the 73rd minute. An unsuccessful conversion meant DC needed two scoring plays in the final seven minutes to overtake San Diego. With time expired, Amanda Street finished off a great individual run from the Furies' own half to draw within one point of the Surfers, but the final whistle signaled the Surfers' 20-19 win.
The Amazons and All Blues will play for the 2013 Women's Premier League Championship Sunday, Nov. 10, at 3:00 P.M. ET. New York and the DC Furies will kick off the final day of the WPL Championship at 9:00 A.M. ET from the South Jersey Rugby Pitch. Watch all four matches from Cherry Hill on USA Rugby TV.

Thanks to Steve for letting me post this.
My website, for bikers in the North of England, Northukbikers, is organising a charity event for the air ambulance services of of Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East - it's called, "LONG WAY HOME" and basically we are riding motorcycles / scooters / mopeds, from our regions to Hawes in North Yorkshire / Tanhill / and some may join me in riding to John O'Groats.
The ethos is, that it should be on a motorcycle that is unsuitable for long distances, and if 10 years or younger should be less than 125cc, if older, riders can have above a 125cc bike.
I personally have purchased a Honda SGX50 moped, for the challenge, top speed is around 33mph, so you can imagine how long an almost 1000 mile ride is going to take me, we have other members who are riding 1980's 125's that should really be dead and buried, but are currently being resurrected for the charity event
If you can help in either sponsorship (Per mile or total event) or if you fancy a ride on the event, it would be great to hear from you.
I have registered a domain for this event, there is nothing there as i have only done it tonight, but it will be built, by the weekend, its at http://www.long-way-home.co.uk
I hope that some of you fellow frontera owners will help the air ambulance services, they do a great, and much needed job.
Thanks again

Recent strengthening of cotton prices should be sustainable, based on economic outlook and technical factors, but several issues still cause concern, says Wally Darnielle, president and CEO, Plains Cotton Cooperative in Lubbock, Texas.
Darnielle, addressing the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in New Orleans, said the technical signs look good. The low value of the dollar helps. He said commodity buyers also are coming back into the market, looking for an inflation hedge. "They are buying long to hold, not for short sale," he said.
"March futures show a higher trend and more people are coming into the market to provide support for near-term futures."
He said cotton remains relatively cheap compared to other commodities.
"These high prices may be sustainable if retailers manage inventories well. An additional $1 per garment should make no difference in demand. Adding a dollar to the price of a pair of jeans probably will not discourage a consumer from buying."
He said textile mills see little reason for higher cotton prices. "The recession resulted in lower retail prices (for fabrics). A spike in oil and chemical prices also affects mill production costs. Many mills are losing money."
But fiber supplies are low. "Many mills in Mexico and the United States have scant coverage for the first quarter of 2010," Darnielle said. Many mill buyers have said they will not pay more for cotton than they did in 2009. They may have to.
"They will not be able to buy at last year's prices. And there are still profits in the apparel segment. Mills are used to buying hand to mouth and they will have to buy soon. It is more expensive to shut down a mill than it is to pay more for cotton."
Darnielle said demand for cotton will persist into 2010 as global population growth continues. Much of that demand takes place outside the United States in countries that "are less indebted." He said some Asian countries have been hit less hard by the recession because "they tended to spend less and save more." In those countries, apparel sales have not suffered as much as in the United States and Europe.
He said yields will continue to increase in the United States and other countries. "But so will consumption. Long-term, fiber demand will outstrip fiber supply."
Interest rates, energy costs and fertilizer prices, he said, should remain flat. "Higher price of synthetics also favors cotton."
Darnielle said lower U.S. and world carryover also supports higher prices. The size of the 2009 U.S. crop "has shrunk and China has had some crop setbacks. So has India and Pakistan. We would need an additional 10 million bales just to get back where we were" in 2006 and 2007, he said. "We're not likely to see that and not likely to see prices tank."
He expects global production to increase by 5 million to 10 million acres in 2010 and 2011. The U.S. crop could be up 1.4 million. "There is not much more to add. Most of the arable land capable of producing cotton is already being farmed and food security issues may limit cotton acreage increases."
He expressed concerns. Fewer cotton traders are available following loss of several established firms over the last few years.
"And the futures market is no longer a viable hedge for a physical product. Markets are determined by technical trades and have become a video game for the Twitter generation."
He said supply and demand of the dollar has become more important than supply and demand of cotton.
He said that even though the global recession seems to be ending, unemployment will continue high for some time. "Economic confidence also is a fragile thing," he said, "and consumers could pull back into their shells."
Fewer buyers are left to vie for cotton and Darnielle wonders if all of them are "committed to cotton." He said the industry no longer has the tools it once had to hedge, buy, sell, store and deliver cotton.
He urged growers to read and understand any contracts they sign. "Know what you're getting into with your market plan."
Synthetic fibers, he said, always pose a threat.

Greenhouse: Auriculas
Learn more about these lovely blooms

Garden Editor Ethne Clarke writes:
Auriculas are truly floral antiques, grown since the mid-1500s by aristocratics and artisans alike. My own auricula collecting began in England because I lived near Norwich, which enjoyed a centuries-old tradition of hosting Florists' Feasts-at least, that was my excuse. Really, it was the flowers' strange colorings. I was particularly drawn to the green-and-black petaled sorts that have a yellow tube at their center surrounded by a ring of white farina, a silvery white paste, which is an integral part of the flowers' beauty. These are the true Show auriculas, grown in greenhouses or on window ledges to protect the blooms from weather damage.

The recent exhibition at the New York Botanical Garden set the stage for a revival of interest in auriculas, one of the gardener's most treasured plants. Gardeners can be obsessive sorts, and plant collecting is a good release for those "just one more" urges. Flower color and shape can vary hugely, and the dusting of 'farina', a white, powdery coating on stems and leaves and sometimes flower petal, makes them all the more alluring.
The NYBG's Auricula Theater, designed by Lady Salisbury, was built by Christianson Lee Studio of Ridgefield, Connecticut (203/798-0098 or christiansonlee.com).

Auricula collections were traditionally displayed on specially constructed staging, called theaters. Lady Salisbury, whose drawing for the New York Botanical Garden Auricula Theater is shown here, was the chatelaine of historic Hatfield House (hatfield-house.co.uk), and is a prominent figure in English garden history circles. She's done much to promote our knowledge of early English gardens, which helps us to understand the early history of our own gardening past. The Elizabethan knot gardens at Hatfield House were reconstructed following her research and planted with the flowers and herbs that would have been grown there in the 17th century, during the lifetime of Robert Cecil, who established the Salisbury earldom at Hatfield House. He was the patron of John Tradescant the renowned plantsman of the English Renaissance period, who helped to introduce and popularize many plant introductions from the New World colonies, thereby enlarging the plant palette of the English garden. So there is a poetic symmetry to the reintroduction of the auricula to American gardens by Lady Salsibury and the NYBG.

Lady Salisbury's design for the reconstruction of the NYBG's Auricula Theater was based on historic depictions of the ones used at Florist's feasts. This example is from an 18-century French manuscript and clearly shows the staging used to display the perfectly grown auricula specimens.

Growing Auriculas
In the garden, auriculas need well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in part shade. They look lovely tucked into the nooks and crannies of a rock garden, or along the edge of flagstone paths; the roots seem to enjoy the dry, gritty conditions there. If you grow them in pots, be sure to use a sand-based potting mix rather than a peat-based one, which would be too wet for the auriculas' liking. Slugs and snails find auricula foliage quite snackable, but a ring of grit around each plant seems to deter them. Try auriculas among smaller hostas, early spring bulbs, and hellebores, all of which like similar growing conditions and share the same spring-to-early-summer flowering period. Border hybrids are reputed to be hardy to Zone 5. This may be accurate, since Primula auricula, one of the hybrids' parents, is said to be hardy to Zone 3. However, the Show sorts are better off indoors or, if you start serious collecting, in a greenhouse. -Ethne Clarke

John Skipper was named today as ESPN's new president, succeeding George Bodenheimer, who will become the company's executive chairman. The changes are effective Jan. 1.
The changes were announced by Walt Disney Co. chairman Bob Iger, who described them as part of the company's emphasis on orderly succession in its management ranks. Iger said Bodenheimer, who has been president of the company for 13 years, approached him last spring about the transition that resulted in today's announcement.
Skipper, whose current title is executive vice president for content, will be in charge of day-to-day operations while Bodenheimer will chair the company's board of directors.
While Bodenheimer was always a sales guy who started off in the mail room with ESPN in the company's early years, Skipper is a content guy from the get-go. He joined ESPN in 1997 as general manager of ESPN's magazine and moved in 2005 into his current position, where he has provided over a period of stability and growth after the departure of the talented but frequently mercurial Mark Shapiro.
I've always been struck by the loyalty that acquaintances at ESPN have expressed toward Bodenheimer. I think he represents to them an example of stability and, for want of a better word, humanity that was in some contrast to some of his predecessors.
Now the question is who moves into Skipper's role, and can that person come up with the initiatives that highlighted Skipper's tenure, such as the expansion into international soccer and the growth of the ESPN Films division and the move away from the theatrical properties championed by Shapiro to the successful 30 for 30 documentary series and its successor projects.

Reordering with Amazon's Dash button has increased five times during the last year. For the uninitiated, what exactly is Amazon Dash. In an official description, Amazon Dash allows customers to instantly order their favorite items: "Amazon Dash Button is a Wi-Fi connected device that reorders your favorite product with the press of a button."
In fact most of Amazon's customer orders are made through Dash. These products include "popular items from brands such as Hefty, Peet's Coffee, and ARM & HAMMER." Currently there are two hundred products currently available via the Dash Button.
The cost of Amazon's Dash is neglible especially since the initial signup cost of 4.99 ends up being credited later to the customer's Amazon account if the purchase is made through the Dash Button. Dash customers will experience the same low prices as Amazon online and have free Prime shipping.
Running out out of staples, whether beverages, pantry essentials, pet treats and personal care items are now a thing of the past with Dash. Indeed such mishaps as trying to "reach for a new trash bag and find out the box is empty" are ancient history.
As with traditional Amazon Prime purchases, customers receive order confirmations and can cancel a Dash order anytime. Prime members can obtain Dash Buttons at Amazon Dash Button . A selection of new Dash buttons, and the associated featured products, can be also browsed at the previous link.

About Luccas Website
After World War II, in about 1948, Leo Giacomini, his cousin, Harold Ferrari, and Harold's brother-in-law, Vince Cerletti decided to put their experience and expertise in the deli business together. This decision led to the purchase of their very own store named Ultra Delicatessen, which was located on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. As their family was growing rapidly, they needed to expand their businesses as well, to maintain a steady income to support the family. This led to the beginning of Lucca Delicatessen on 96th and E. 14th street in Oakland in 1958. A few years later, their third store in Castro Valley was started. After years of hard work, they decided to retire and brought in the kids to take over and run the show. In 1984, Paul Ferrari and Larry Cerletti combined the names of their stores, Ultra and Lucca, and renamed all the stores as Ultra Lucca Delicatessen. Later, they were able to expand their business even further by opening more stores in
In 1990, they sold their Castro Valley Delicatessen to the curret owners, Syavash Alaee and his family, who continue to run the business today.

For those of you following the story of the possible sale of the John Murray Archive, a recent article on Scotsman.com cites Joan Winterkorn, director and chief of valuations, antiquarian booksellers Bernard Quaritch, who was recently asked to value the Murray Archive--and "put the value at £45m, possibly more." The National Library of Scotland hopes to buy the collection for £33 million.
"What I had not anticipated was the extraordinary richness and depth of the collection, the many hundreds of boxes of letters that have never been catalogued and have seldom been consulted," Winterkorn says.

Hardware/Software Automates CNC Machining
ToolMaster hardware/software is a combination of software and a laser-measuring device.
Related Topics:
ToolMaster hardware/software is a combination of software and a laser-measuring device. It is designed to fully automate CNC machining by monitoring and managing cutting tools during machining, enabling unattended machining.
The software imports CAD programs from virtually any CAD system and uses that data to automatically create and expand a tool database. User-set tolerances enable the software to automatically create a tool table with either separate or combined tools (as selected) for each part to be machined. The programs are sent to the machine, and a tool setup list is automatically generated.
Using the "test" program, the cutting tools are automatically measured/tested on the machine with a laser-measuring device to ensure that they are within the programmed tolerances and in the correct positions. If a tool is measured out of tolerance or in the wrong position, it is locked out from machining, a warning is issued and a duplicate is automatically selected (if available). The caliber is also measured in the laser, and the reference position of all three axes is recorded.
The "start" program automatically calls up individual programs. The appropriate cutting tool and caliber are measured in the laser before machining starts and after each program is finished. If they are within the set tolerance, the next program is called up, but if they are out of the set tolerance, a duplicated is selected and the program is repeated. All three axes are corrected relative to the measured position of the caliber.
Once all programs have been run, the next part programs are called up, and the parts are machined. Once all parts have been run, the machine is automatically shut down. A report shows wear of all tools, how much the three axes were compensated after each program was run and which tools were locked out for further use.

Review by Prog Leviathan Prog ReviewerProg Leviathan
"Shooting Star" wastes no time in showing us why Anekdoten remains one of the more powerful, creative, and heavy sounding bands around - even after 8 years of hiatus. The two guitarists lay down an amazing amount of sound, crushing the listener during the song's numerous fortissimo moments while also showing their restraint during other moments. The use of negative space and ambiance has always been a strong suit for the band, and here it's juxtaposed to the massive riffing - and not to mention unexpectedly aggressive soloing from Barker - very well indeed. It's an optimistic song that takes you to places dark and bright in 10 jam-packed minutes of thick, heavy, wonderful music; off to a great start, though things get much darker thematically from here on out.
"Get Out Alive" sadly takes a while to get going, weighed down by vocals that plod along until electrified by a terrific instrumental break that concludes with a sense of strong sense of drifting melancholy. A busy song, even though slow tempo, and probably the weakest on the album.
The wonderful "If It All Comes Down to You" shows the band's ability to craft very likable and approachable music using a blend of sensitively incorporated mellotron, vibes, and guitar tones. It's about as pop-friendly song that the band has ever produced, though its complex instrumentation and prog-feel probably won't convince people who aren't use to listening to music this dense. Still, its a great moment of lightness in the mix, even though it's basically a break-up song, and the contributions by Theo Travis' flute soloing is a great touch.
"Writing on the Wall" continues in achingly melancholic form, being excellently composed for dramatic and emotive effect, especially the four minutes of instrumental work that concludes the song. This leads me to album's conclusion, "Our Days Are Numbered," a powerful instrumental song with amazing tension and performances throughout. Once again, when Anekdoten is at their best, they absolutely nail it. This may be one of their best songs, and it certainly carries an 'end of the world' feel to it's rousing climax.
While not a perfect album, does a tremendous amount of things exceptionally well. This doesn't surprise me, given my ratings of past Anekdoten albums; the band rises above in so many ways, but there's just something illusive that keeps the music from resonating with me. It's this lack of emotional connection that I've decided to keep my rating at a 4-star. You will not be disappointed with , but if you're like me, you probably won't connect or remember much of it specifically afterwards. A great album for fans of loud, heavy, artistic rock.

The protocol complied with an adequate handling of the experimental animals as is described in the NOM-062-200-1999 that states the technical details for the production, care and use of laboratory animals for the year 1999. The female Wistar rats with 4weeks of age presented initial weights of 90–100g. The brand of boxes used for this experiment where EHRET® (Germany), which are made of polycarbonate, with 33cm wide and 55cm long and with a depth of 20cm, with grate grids of stainless steel. The drinking troughs were EHRE™ (Germany) of 500ml, made in polycarbonate with stainless steel tips (for autoclave sterilization). Five animals where introduced in each box with and ad libitum access to food and water. The food of the experimental animals was 2018S Teklad Global 18% Protein Rodent Diet® (Harlam Laboratories®, USA). This food has an energy density of 3.1kcal/g of which 18% comes from lipids. The flour to prepare the maize-based foods was manufactured by Maseca® (Gruma®, Mexico). The flour energy density is 4.5kcal/g of which 12% comes from lipids. The animals were subjected to cycles of 12hours of light and 12hours of darkness, temperature of 22-24°C and humidity of 60 to 80%. The rats were kept in the Unidad de Producción, Cuidado y Experimentación Animal (UPCEA) of the Division Académica de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Juarez Autonoma de Tabasco. The study was approved by the Research Committee and the Bioethics Committee of the institution.
Metabolic syndrome was induced in three groups of Wistar rats by giving them water with 30% sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) to drink, following the method of El Hafidi [ 16 , 17 ]. The experiment started when the rats were four weeks of age and ended 28weeks later. The experimental animals were distributed in three groups. The first group received maize tortillas and pellets (n=5), the second received maize pozol [ 18 ] and pellets (n=5), the third was the control group (n=5) and received a 30% sucrose solution and no supplemented traditional food in their lab diet. There was also a witness group that received plain water and pellets (n=5).
Following processes inherent to the retrogradation of the maize-based food, it was decided to provide it at precise periods of time, after which the animals returned to their lab diets. An important point is that pozol favours bacterial growth, mainly of lactobacilii, that seem to present hypotriglyceridemic activity [
Blondo Vassa Wide Shaft Waterproof uw9NBFJ
]. For supplementation, the animals of the tortilla and pozol groups were distributed in individual boxes with no hay and were allowed to eat traditional food for four hours of each day at a ratio of 50g of each type for each animal, according to the group. After the defined period of time, the food remains were removed to quantify intake. The animals were then re-grouped in the boxes and provided with standard experimental rat food at libitum for the rest of the day in order to minimise the risk of deficiencies in macro or micronutrients, especially of the amino acids lysine and tryptophan.
The tortillas and pozol were prepared with Maseca® (Gruma®, Mexico) maize flour following the manufacturer's instructions. The product is made from cooked corn kernels with lime (nixtamalization), dried and ground for sale as flour. For both foods the base is a mixture of 500ml of maize flour with 300ml of water. The mixture was made in an Oster® stand mixer with 350 watts motor, with a 4.5qt gallon capacity, and a bowl of 22 × 35 × 35cm. Once the mixture is homogenized, portions of 30g were made, which were placed between cellophane sheets and were flattened with a rolling pin with which the tortillas were formed. The cooking was done in a Rodotec® NG50, commercial tortilladora. The cooked procedure is entering to the dry-heat oven on a conveyor belt with comales, which are on rollers, so the tortillas are recovered in the exit door.
Pozol is a "nixtamal" dough prepared with "nixtamalised" maize in traditional establishments. This maize dough is cooked and ground with lime and water, to which is added toasted and ground cocoa, obtaining a dark dough that is diluted in water. The dough for the experiment was prepared with Maseca® (Gruma®, Mexico) maize flour, as were the tortillas, mixing 125g of maize dough and 9.6g of toasted and ground cocoa. The corn dough and the cocoa grounded were mixed in an Oster® stand mixer.
Data on the intake of 30% sucrose and traditional food were recorded daily. The weight of each animal was recorded before breakfast every week. Between weeks 12 to 24 blood was obtained from the animals' tails before breakfast for a monthly recording of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides using test strips in an Accutrend® Plus/GCT system (Roche Diagnostic GmbH,® Mannheim, Germany).
At week 28, the animals were anesthesised and 1ml of blood was obtained from the cardiac cavity using BD Microtainer® (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) non-additive tubes, in order to measure glucose, triacylglycerols (TAG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL), C-reactive protein (CRP) and alanine amino transferase (ALT). A second 1ml of blood was obtained and placed in Microtainer® (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) tubes with KEDTA BD to record glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and carry out a hematic biometry. The animals were then placed in a CO chamber to die.
An automated Johnson Johnson Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics® (Rochester, NY, USA) equipment with a clinical chemistry system was used to measure glucose, TAG, TC, LDL, HDL, CRP and ALT. Glucose was evaluated following the criteria of the American Diabetes Association [
Brighton Artsy CqdMs
], where ≤5.54mM/L is desirable, 5.6-6.93mM/L indicates pre-diabetes and ≥6.94mM/L indicates diabetes. Lipids were evaluated following the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program [ 21 ]. TAG were considered desirable with ≤1.68mM/L, borderline high with 1.69-2.25mM/L and high with ≥2.26mM/L. TC was considered desirable with ≤4.39mM/L, borderline high with 4.4-5.16mM/L and high with ≥5.17mM/L. LDL were optimal with ≤2.83mM/L, near optimal with 2.84-3.35mM/L and borderline high with ≥3.36mM/L. ALT was defined as desirable up to 0.6668 Kat μ/L. HbA1c was measured using a Stanbio Lab® (Boerne, Texas, USA) work kit and a JENWAY 6305® (Staffordshire, UK) spectrophotometer. The absorbance ranges were calculated following the manufacturer's guidelines for each standard and sample. The reagents for the determinations were from Ortho Chemical Diagnostic® (Rochester, NY, USA).
A two way ANOVA was applied following a Dunnet procedure to determine significance for the values of the tests. The SigmaStat programme (Systat Software®, USA) was used to prepare the figures. The statistical significance was established at a P<0.01. The results are presented with means and standard deviation (SD).
The animals in the experimental groups recorded no difference in the weight means after 28weeks, nor did they present differences in the intake of the sucrose solution (data not shown). The glucose and cholesterol values tended to increase, with no differences among groups (data not shown). Data on tortilla and pozol intake are presented in Table.

The following condition report is provided by Sarah Walden who is an external specialist and not an employee of Sotheby's: This painting is on a thick poplar panel, with one single central joint. It seems to have remained perfectly firm and flat, with only minor past traces of worm and scarcely any sign of movement in the joint or elsewhere. At some time, probably in the middle of the last century when the painting was exhibited, the two vertical cross bars may apparently have been replaced, with the one on the left being slightly further inset into a slight hollow in the back of the main panel. However there appears to have been minimal intervention overall for several centuries. The attention paid to the back of the panel, and the protection from unstable atmospheric humidity indicated by the glass in front and plastic behind, as well as minor surface conservation, were perhaps in response to exhibitions at the Ashmolean in the 1930's and at Agnews in the middle of the last century. Essentially however the exceptional preservation of the painting remains scarcely disturbed. There has been a gentle accumulation of slightly discoloured old varnish, perhaps partially thinned at times in the past, but the pure tempera colour and brushwork survives vividly in the figures and the chariot, with many intricate punched, patterned and gilded clothes and surfaces. The background landscape and the sky has accreted rather more old varnish, with the trees and mountainous background on the left further darkened by the natural transformation of the rich copper resinate green into deepest brown, or even black in the case of the quite impasted trees. The edges have had occasional small retouchings over a long period, with rather more at both ends and especially in the corners, for instance on the right end base corner and up through the red drapery of the girl at far right, and equally at the end on the left. A few minor old retouchings can be seen occasionally near the upper edge in the sky and a few others are visible under ultra violet light at other edges including along the base, but these are rare and older retouching is not visible under UV. A few other retouchings can be seen, for instance a narrow line in the upper right landscape, and various touches in the long flag in the sky at upper left. However there are minimal interventions of any sort over many centuries. As a wedding chest the painting was evidently put to good use, with traces of a great lock falling fairly frequently onto the paint surface around the figure of Cupid, leaving minute dents. Other minor scratches can also be seen in various places, for instance near the little swirl of paint just above the chariot, or in the red dress just behind the chariot or just above the unicorns. The magnificent drawing so vividly apparent in the unicorns themselves, and the brilliance of the brushwork in the clouds for example, have remained supremely intact and untouched, as has this remarkable painting overall.

Slow and Steady Wins the Staircase Workout
Not taking the elevator is a good way to sneak in a little extra exercise every day. And if you do get some of your exercise avoiding elevators, here's a burning question: do you burn more calories climbing stairs one at a time or bounding up them two at a time?
To find out, researchers had subjects climb stairs reaching 46 feet high. Based on the subjects' heart rate measurements, the researchers estimated calories burned. They found that volunteers who took the stairs two at a time had a higher rate of energy expenditure over the 86 steps they climbed—but those who climbed one at a time burned more energy in total over the entire staircase. The study is in the journal PLoS One. [Lewis G. Halsey, David A.R. Watkins and Brendan M. Duggan, The Energy Expenditure of Stair Climbing One Step and Two Steps at a Time: Estimations from Measures of Heart Rate]
It makes sense. Although the bounders had a more intense workout, the one-steppers take longer to get to the top. So even though they're burning fewer calories per minute than the bounders do, they work out enough longer to burn more total calories. And one step or two, there's never a wait for the stairs.
—Rose Eveleth

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

With 15 U.S. states and Washington DC already allowing medicinal marijuana users a legal alternative to managing their own pain, advocates fighting to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis claim their time is near.
In November, California voted against ending cannabis prohibition all together, but the measure was defeated by just over 700,000 votes with Proposition 19 forcing the global spotlight on the issue of pot law reform for recreational use.
Medicinal use of the plant, however, continues to forge on as a trojan horse of sorts. As more chronic pain sufferers praise marijuana's healing power and debate over lost tax revenue and expensive jailing for offenders grows louder might warrant a closer look into the financial viability of legal sales.
In an attempt to take a closer look into marijuana's alleged medicinal values, we consulted Danny Danko, High Times magazine's senior cultivation editor, to help us identify the most popular strains for medicinal use. Highlighting excerpts from Danko's new book, High Times Field Guide to Marijuana Strains, we compiled a list of marijuana strains that he claims to have medicinal value.
