VATICAN Dec. 2 (CWNews.com) -- When he opens the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve,
Pope John Paul II will not use the ceremonial hammer traditionally used for that purpose. Having
determined that the hammer carries no particular symbolic value, he will simply push open the door with
his hands.
The opening of the Holy Door is a traditional rite, which began with a very practical intent. Originally, an
extra door had been opened in the basilica during a holy year in order to accommodate the increased
traffic caused by pilgrims visiting the Eternal City.
In past cases-- including 1983, when Pope John Paul declared a holy year to mark the 1950th
anniversary of the Crucifixion-- the Pope has used a special ceremonial hammer to break the seal on the
Holy Door. But liturgists could find no significance in that tradition, so the Holy Father decided to discard
it. Prior to the midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, the Pope will arrive at the doors of St. Peter's for the
ceremony. The rite begins with a reading from the Gospel according to St. Luke, in which Jesus recalls
the words of the Prophet Isaiah: "proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Then the Pope will open the
door, and remain there in prayer for a few moments before entering the basilica. The ceremony will be a
rich one, with different embellishments designed to recall the recent continental synods. Young women
from Asia and Oceania will sprinkle the door with flowers and fragrances; Africans will blow horns made
out of elephant tusks (recalling that the word "jubilee" derives from the Hebrew word for "horn");
Europeans and Americans will carry candles in the procession up to the altar of St. Peter's. Finally, just
before the Mass begins, the Pope's special proclamation announcing the Holy Year will be intoned in
Today, the Holy Door is still hidden behind the linen cloth which has protected it during the restoration
process at St. Peter's. From the inside, the door is walled in, and decorated with a large cross. Just 12
days before Christmas, Msgr. Piero Marini-- the master of ceremonies for papal liturgies- - will visit the
spot accompanied by workmen, to begin tearing down the wall that was built outside the door in 1984,
at the close of the last Holy Year. Msgr. Marini will retrieve a small purse of coins, dated 1983, and then
leave the workmen to complete their task, so that the door will open readily on Christmas Eve.
As of December 2, the Pontifical Household had already received 40,000 requests from people seeking
a place in the basilica for the ceremony. Since St. Peter's can accommodate only 10,000 people,
thousands of pilgrims will watch the ceremony on a giant screen in the Vatican's Paul VI auditorium.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - R&B singer Chris Brown had his probation revoked on Monday by a judge in Los Angeles after he was charged in a hit-and-run traffic accident last month.
Brown, who has been on probation for criminal assault for beating his former girlfriend and fellow R&B singer, Rihanna, on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, could face jail time if he is found to have violated his probation.
The Grammy-winning singer, 24, was released on his own recognizance and will have a hearing on August 16 to determine whether or not he has violated the terms of his probation, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin said.
He was sentenced to five years' probation, 180 days of community service and domestic violence counseling for the 2009 assault on Rihanna.
The Los Angeles County Attorney's office, which has also accused Brown of cutting corners on his community service, asked Brandlin to revoke Brown's probation because of the hit-and-run charges in which he allegedly rear-ended another car.
The singer was charged last month with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license in connection with the traffic accident on May 21 in Los Angeles.
Brown's defense team and the alleged victim filed a declaration on Monday to have the charges relating to the hit-and-run dismissed.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's office said they planned to proceed with the case.

Ubuntu took away permissions from my Data partition
I reformatted a NTFS partition on my system with ext4 because I want to use it on my current Ubuntu installation, not on Windows. I added an entry to
/etc/fstab to mount it at start-up. The mount point is
/home/username/bin. I changed the owner of
/home/username/bin and all of its sub-directories to my regular account and its user group. Finally, I set all permissions to 755.

My problem is now that while I'm able to read and write files on this new partition, I cannot run applications/programs located there. As a regular user, I always get a "permission denied" error. As root (with
sudo), just nothing happens, which means it immediately puts me back to the shell prompt. The applications should produce textual output or open windows. Some of these applications are binaries, some are scripts. I try to launch them with
./program. If I copy them back to my home folder, I can run them without problems.
Actually, I kept these applications for months in another sub-directory
/home/username/apps of my home folder and ran them from there, without any problems.
How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong? :)

It's spring! Grapes are budding and the vines are spreading rapidly. Our local wineries are getting ready, in many cases, to open for the summer and have special events all lined up. Questions about local wineries? Check out our always updated Guide to Drinking Local that points you to posts on wineries from Ohio, Kentucky, and even Indiana.
Harmony Hill's official opening for the season is on Memorial Day weekend. But there is sort of a pre-opening this coming weekend. Harmony Hill will open it's doors for a special occasion on Saturday, May 8, in conjunction with The Village of Bethel's presentation of its inaugural BAMfest Art and Music Celebration. The winery will host an antique tractor show from 12-6 pm, and officially release the 2009 wines Woodwind, Ovation, Aria and Chamber Suite. There will be live entertainment at the winery from 12-8 pm so bring your blankets and lawn chairs.
On May 28, the winery opens for the season, with live music on Friday nights, 5-9 pm, and Saturdays, 2-9 pm. Holiday weekends (Memorial and Labor Day), the winery is open on Friday, Saturday, and Monday (2-9 pm).
Kinkead Ridge had a rough growing season. Because of that, they won't be open on weekends this summer. If you want your fill of excellent Kinkead Ridge wines, you'll have to attend their special events, starting on Memorial Day weekend. On May 29 and 31, Kinkead Ridge will be releasing their 2009 white wines from 10 am – 6 pm. Quantities are very limited: only 126 cases of Kinkead Ridge Viognier/Roussanne, and only 42 cases of River Village Cellars White Wine (a blend of all our other grapes) were produced. After Memorial Day, whatever is left will be allocated to our wine store and restaurant customers. Can't make it? They are accepting phone or email orders for these wines prior to May 29. The wines must be picked up the following Saturday.
Kinkead Ridge will be closed after Memorial Day until Labor Day, when they offer their Red Wine Release (2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot) and annual vineyard tour.
La Vigna Estate is located in Georgetown, OH and they're also having their season opening on Memorial Day weekend. They'll be open on Saturday, May 29 from 11-6 pm and Monday, May 31 from 12-6 pm. They'll be releasing their 2009 Proprietary White ( Petit Manseng) and the 2008 Proprietary Red (Cabernet Blend). They'll also have live music on Saturday.
After opening weekend, the winery will be open every summer Saturday from 12-6 pm.
Meranda-Nixon winery, located just outside of Ripley, hardly ever closes. They're open year-round (with the exception of January, I believe). You can always visit their winery on Thursdays from 1-6 pm, Fridays from 1-8 pm, and Saturdays from 11 am – 9:30 pm. Additionally, you can have a fantastic dinner in the lovely Tuscan-themed tasting room at Meranda-Nixon on Saturday nights: steak and salmon dinners accompanied with a bottle of wine. Reservations can be made by calling (937)392-4654.

OK, oddly unrelated to your actual post, and perhaps weird things to notice/mention the first time I am on your blog but:
1) I love your graphics! Did you do them yourself? (ok maybe not so weird to notice/comment on for the first visit)
2) (definitely weird to notice) SO, there is a Meranda/Nixon winery…and Cynthia Nixon plays Miranda on Sex in the City.

However, if you prefer a sharper zing of lemon, I would then suggest adding a little lemon juice to the sponge or lemon extract to increase the lemon flavour with the lemon zest. This cake is delightful sliced and served with a hot cup of tea mid afternoon when those sugar levels seem to drop a little, and little pangs of hunger set in.
125g (5 oz) softened butter
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
165g (5½ oz) caster sugar
2 large eggs
110g (4½ oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
75g (3 oz) self-raising flour
60ml (2 fl oz plus 2 tsp) milk
Lemon Streusel Mixture
40g (1½ oz) caster (superfine) sugar
40g (1½ oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
30g (1 ¼ oz) butter, chopped into squares
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
2 heaped tbsp flaked almonds
You will need 13cm x 23cm (5in x 9in) loaf tin, greased and lined with baking parchment, extending the paper 2cm (¾ in) over the sides.
Firstly, make the lemon streusel, place the sugar and flour into a small bowl. Rub the butter in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs and then stir in the lemon zest and flaked almonds.
For the lemon sponge, in a mixing bowl beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time beating in after each addition until fully combined. Sift the two flours together and then fold into the mixture alternately with the milk in two batches. Place the mixture into the loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the lemon streusel mixture evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool with crumble side upper most. Serve cut into slices.
Lastly relax, serve yourself a slice of this cake with a lovely cup of tea and sit back in admiration of what you have baked.

Market forces and strong commodity prices continue to create record demand and sales activity for farmland, but there are several unknowns that could impact the coming year, according to Farmers National Company. This uncertainty is creating strong sell-side interest and buy-side activity, leading to record levels of land changing hands for Farmers National Company.
"Although across the Midwest the inventory of land for sale is still really tight, Farmers National Company is experiencing increased sales activity. The demand continues to be very strong with increasing prices even at current levels," said Lee Vermeer, AFM, ALC, vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company.
"Sales volume at Farmers National Company is up 40 percent compared to 2011, setting a record pace. We are projecting that the remainder of 2012 will see continued interest from landowners regarding potential land sales," Vermeer said.
Farmers National Company sold $600 million of farmland in the past 12 months, with $350 million of that in past six months. This equates to 800+ farm sales during that time period, Vermeer said.
Click the graphic above for a larger view.
A balance of positive and negative market pressures, along with many uncertainties, is driving current market activity. The positive news for land owners is that demand for grain from world markets remains strong and there is still a limited supply of land, boosting land prices. In addition to that for land owners, returns have been strong over last year even though input costs have increased.
The uncertainty comes from unpredictability in Europe, potential for inflation, and the looming possibility of tax law changes that would increase capital gains taxes. Also, a good growing season could lead to record production levels and lower commodity prices reducing land profitability. These and other potential changes could slow the land market slightly, according to Vermeer.
"I believe that sales activity will remain strong until some of the market uncertainties become known," said Vermeer. "People still see land as a safe, tangible investment and are willing to keep their money there over the long-term."
High auction activity continues to help boost land prices with Farmers National Company conducting nearly 160 in the past six months alone. However, according to Vermeer, he is still seeing some landowners selling well below the market, leaving thousands of dollars on the table because they are not adequately exposing their property to the market.
"In a competitive real estate market like we are in, the only way to take full advantage of it is to allow the market to work for you," said Vermeer. "Full exposure to the market is the only way to know you received the full value available."

This is my latest little mini mech.it was a fun build and im really happy with how the turned out.
The GX-MPT grasshoper is a Successor to the mpt design the grasshopper lacks the mpts inbuilt hand guns and instead uses handheld weaponry therefore its arms are enlongated and offer a better close combat ability
and makes it possible for the grasshopper to pick up guns from fallen enemies if it would run out of ammo.in order for the grasshopper to move about the battlefield it uses wheels with inbuilt hoverdrives that are capable of overcharging which result in a long "jump" of course the hoverdrives can hover normally which allows the grasshopper to skim along the surface of water.
this is the two grasshoppers i have built so far with each one armed with an HAP-LV 68(Handheld AntiPersonal and Light Vehicle) heavy machinegun
this is an HAP-LV 68 it has a large ammunition supply and is very reliable it uses a combination of railgun rails and regular shells to launch its tungsten projectiles in velocitys up to 7 Mach(3 mach = 3 times the speed of sound)
A picture of a AN grasshopper engaging a small group of rebels with the other grasshopper in the background
the Hap-LV clips on the grasshoppers back when not in use
a closer look at the grashoppers back and side notice the clip on the back used for HAP-LV placement
This is the HG-165 grenade launcher it can lob high explosive shells beyond cover(arcing FTW!)
another view of the HG-165
awwwww the other grasshopper wants an awesome gun aswell
good thing we have two more guns on the ass
this is the handheld version of the Z-45 heavy plasma accelerator it launches a beam of electromagneticly charged plasma at things
another view
i really like this shot .
whatever you might have thougt this isn't the heaviest gun in the grasshoppers arsenal its........
this is the heavy antieverything cannon or HAE-randomnumbergoeshere
The HAE-1337 cannon uses basically rail gun propelled discarding sabot rounds that are made entirely of an alloy of awesomnium and titanium it has the power to go straight through a tank while setting the tank on fire due to the extreme friction and also thanks to the rounds high speed the wind that follows the projectile litteraly liquifies the crew inside.
now that we heard about the utter awesomeness that is this gun we want to try it right...
here is our lucky test subject ofcourse the HAE-1337 cannon is an anti vehicle weapon but who cares
Anakin:Yay im freee woohooo!!
observe this particular peach have large deformed eyes which AN scientists believe to have been caused by exposure to the clone wars cartoon
splat! time to get another testsubject i guess
in adition to the aformentined guns the grasshopper have been known to utilise enemy weaponry in this case a hammer of sorts.
the grasshopper have a tactical versatility like never seen before they are also one of the first minimecha to start to develop genuine personalitys and while the grasshopper still remains in very small numbers they are sure to be a common sight on the battlefield
AWWWWWWW can you say no to that face

Truck Tug-Of-War - Tuggin' On The StripPosted in Events on May 20, 2014
One of the biggest things we all love to do in the mud world is cross over onto the pavement from time to time. It's just a staple of the sport. Everybody likes talkin' junk about who's got the better truck, and one of the easiest things to do is grab a strap, hook 'em back to back, and see who can drag who. People have been doing it for years. I don't know who decided to make a competition out of it, but I've seen photos of trucks hooking up and tugging from 30 years ago. Heck, I've seen pictures of big-name monster trucks that run the Monster Jam events hooked back to back before anyone even knew what a monster truck was. Back when those dudes all used to run full-body trucks with huge arched leaf springs, massive spring hangers, and 10 shocks on each corner—yeah, that's a throwback for sure.
While most people think it's nothing but a "who has the bigger cojones" contest, there really is a lot of skill and specific truck setup involved in tugging at different levels of competition. One of the largest factors in grudge pullin' is traction—who has the most traction on the pavement.
The Dirty Mo at Mooresville Dragway in North Carolina has a season finale every year for all the local N.C. tug events. My 4x4cross hosts a multipart event, Diesel Drags, Anchored Burnout competitions, and of course a weighted tug on the dragstrip. I got the idea from my buds over at Trucks Gone Wild. I think everyone remembers watching all sorts of trucks from diesels to mega trucks hooking back to back right on the dragstrip. Well, to continue it we had to try it up here in N.C., and we've had great success. This is the fourth year in a row.
We pull three classes: a lightweight 6,500-pound DOT light truck tire ¾-ton and under class, a heavyweight DOT light truck tire class with weight caps varying from 9,000 to 10,500 pounds, and an open-tire "run what ya brung" class for racing tires, drag slicks, or whatever! A class with a weight cap varying around 9,000 to 11,000 pounds that we see folks from the Bottomland4x4 and Galloway's 4WD Center crews attempting on a regular basis. We also run an open weight class occasionally and have had everything from 1-ton and 2½-ton mega trucks weighted with over 20,000 pounds tuggin'. There are even crazy rigs like the multi 2½-ton axle contraption on slicks called the Spider Pig, Semi Trucks, Deuce and a Halfs, and one time even a house-moving truck with a concrete counterweight on the back weighing 30,000 pounds.
If you want to see insane builds, stuff breaking and ripping into pieces, trannies exploding into flames, diesel smoke rollin', and tires being melted off wheels, then the Dirty Mo's Mooresville Dragway Season Finale is where you want to be at the end of 2014.

FREDERICK -- When Frederick High School junior Ginny Creager was in second grade, she was bullied.
"It didn't faze me as much as other people," Creager, 17, said Tuesday.
But when she saw another girl, Janie, being bullied by the same classmates, Creager couldn't stand by. She stood up to the bullies, who were teasing Janie that no boy would ever like her because she wore overalls.
"Seeing someone else get hurt, I just couldn't stand for that anymore," Creager said.
Creager's mother, Rhonda, had told her youngest daughter that bullies were trying to make themselves feel better by tearing down other people.
"Really, you have to make fun of her?" Creager recalled saying as she confronted the bullies, who also were girls. "I just made them feel dumb for making fun of her."
The next day, Janie invited Creager to her birthday party, Creager said.
"It felt so good and so rewarding," she said. "(Janie) was very grateful for what I had done for her."
Even though the two lost touch after Janie moved away during middle school, the warm feeling that Creager felt that day has shaped her life. Her main goal, she said, is to help people.
"My mom tells me I have a level of selflessness that is incomparable," she said. "Everything that I do is some kind of kindness."
Creager's desire to help people will be recognized next week, when the Women's Foundation of Colorado presents her with a Dottie Lamm Award for her leadership and philanthropic spirit. The award recognizes two high school juniors who participated in the Foundation's Girls Leadership Council from July 29 to Aug. 4 at the University of Denver.
She will be sitting at the former Colorado first lady's table during the award luncheon, and actress Geena Davis will deliver the keynote address.
"I get goose bumps every time I think about it," Creager said. "I feel so honored to be chosen for the award."
About 100 girls from across Colorado applied to be on the Council, according to Denise Delgado, manager of community initiatives and investment for the foundation. Of those, 10 were chosen.
As the girls learned leadership skills, they also learned how to be philanthropists: They were charged with granting $20,000 from the Foundation to two nonprofit organizations dedicated to reducing the dropout rate among girls. The decision-making process included researching the organizations, seeing their presentations and visiting their sites.
Even at the beginning of the week, Creager's selflessness stood out, Delgado said. She arrived with binders -- one for each of the 10 council members -- filled with information about the nonprofits they would be considering.
In addition, Creager had knitted gifts for her fellow council members, whom she hadn't even met, the manager said.
"Ginny has to be the most altruistic, selfless person ... I've ever met," Delgado said.
"She will just drop everything for everyone else," Delgado said. "It came through with flying colors during the program."
One of the organizations that received a grant, Smart Girls, so impressed Creager that she has joined it. She spent last weekend training to be a mentor for middle school girls to help them stay in school. She will soon be working with students at Coal Ridge Middle School, she said.
In addition, she also is a peer educator for Safe Shelter's Teens Ending Relationship Abuse program. On Monday, she gave two presentations at Mead High School.
"It's one of the most rewarding things I've done," Creager said.
As if those activities -- and her three Advanced Placement classes and having a 4.4 grade-point average -- aren't enough, Creager serves on Frederick High's student council, the St. Vrain Valley School District's student advisory board and the Frederick Town Youth Commission; she's the vice president of her school's National Honor Society and Rachel's Challenge, which tries to reduce bullying and increase kindness; and she's the manager of Frederick High's football and wrestling teams.
Being part of the Girls Leadership Council has changed Creager's long-term plans.
"Before the program, I had small dreams," she said. Through the council she's learned to dream big: "I'd love to become the first female governor of Colorado.

My son came home to visit for the weekend and before he went back up to school late this afternoon we hosted a Sunday morning brunch at our home. I baked some quiches, made my "famous" biscuits and gravy, served eggs cooked to order, set out a big bowl of fresh picked strawberries and a dished up a variety of fresh salads. We even had fresh squeezed orange juice and mimosas. Delish!
Quiches are one of my favorite dishes to make. First of all, they are very versatile because you can put so some many different types of ingredients in them. Second, they are super easy to make. And three, you can get away with serving quiche for any meal of the day.
I work full time during the week and have been known to make quiche on the weekend just to have slices available for my breakfast or lunch while I am at the office. I simply warm it up in the microwave in the break room for a few seconds, grab a fork and my meal is done. Simple, no muss, no fuss. And, I am back to work at my desk in no time at all.
My Asparagus Leek Quiche is baked with local free range organic eggs, fresh picked asparagus, organic leeks, and shredded creamy Havarti cheese in a flaky golden pie crust. Enjoy! Tessa
- 1 – 9″ refrigerated pie crust (unfold and roll to fit pie or tart pan)
- 1 cup leeks (washed and thinly sliced)
- 2 cups asparagus (chopped)
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 ounces Havarti cheese (shredded)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups half and half
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Begin by rolling out the pie crust and placing it in a 9″ pie pan or 10″ tart pan. I used a tart pan. Heat a saute pan on the stove, add the canola oil, asparagus, leeks and salt. Saute for a few minutes until asparagus are tender. Don't over cook. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, half and half, white pepper, salt and nutmeg. Add asparagus, leeks and Havarti cheese. Mix well and pour into pie crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn down heat and bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes or until crust is golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Slice into wedges. Makes 1 quiche.

Was There Actually An Ancient Wall In Fayette?
December 7, 1989
Was There Actually An Ancient Wall In Fayette?
Among the papers and documents left by the late Deff [sic] Norona, and now reposing in the Davis & Elkins library, is this letter, presumably sent to Mr. Narona (dated July 24, 1951), and signed "Inghram." This letter is a footnote to last week's front page reprint of Forrest Hull's story on the mysterious wall in Fayette County. There are no clues as to Mr. Inghram's identity or qualifications as a historian or an archaeologist, nor have we found the name in any encyclopedia.
This tracing was sent to me when I asked for definite information as to exact location of the places mentioned in the Page article, by Mr. Norona. It consisted of topo map tracing of the area on the Montgomery Quadrangle map of the area between Armstrong and Loop (formerly Loup, or Wolf) creek. Between these two small creeks there was drawn a 3-inch pickle shaped oblong marked, Fa-I. It agrees with Page's description perfectly in all respects.
July 22, 1951 - Proceeded to foot of ridge where I judged the central part of the wall should be found, by traveling two miles up Loop creek. Attacked side of hill and arrived near top about 12 minutes later, estimate that hill is about 2,000' high. Found nothing unusual until near top where I encountered a sandstone outcrop, which when first seen did appear like a man-made wall, or rather the large number of rocks lying in a rough line could be so interpreted. Followed this line of loose rocks about 500 fee before finding enough of them piled up to judge whether or not they were natural. At this point the loose rocks appeared to be piled one on the other, but careful study showed that practically all of them had top and bottom curves as well as end junctions which fitted together in such manner that there was no evading the decision that they were natural and that it would be impossible for men to have found and fitted natural stones so cleverly interlocking. As Page half-said, this "wall" could not have confined a cow.
Proceeded farther in other direction (south) searching for mixed stone varieties in the wall, found none. Soon did find large blocks of so-called black flint, but not at any place either atop or beneath rocks of the general area type (sandstone). Returned to place flint was found and traced it to the very top of ridge. Here were signs that the small ledge had been worked. These signs indicated that almost perfectly square pieces of six-inch flint had been removed from the ledge, evidenced by lines of fracture. None of blocks were found. There is a large boulder beside and atop parts of the ledge. This unattached rock is as big as a two-story house. No evidence of rock carvings or human use.
Followed ridge about a mile north, after exploring it half a mile east of this rock. Saw several cross walls, obviously natural, and here and there observed that the sandstone outcrop exists a short distance down either side of the hill. Suddenly encountered a huge pile of loose sandstone squarely atop ridge and at a high place. All indications are that it is not natural, and only use I can assign is that it was at one time a tower. Stones were native to the spot and about the size a man could handle without difficulty - about 50 lb. average. If tower was solidly built it would probably have been about ten feet high and 15 across, although if the pile of rubble lost farther down the slope (west) in the undergrowth was large than estimated the tower, if that is what it was, could well have been considerably larger. About two railroad cars of loose stone are in plain sight and that the stone is of considerable depth is evidenced by the fact it is entirely bare of any kind of plant growth, if the stones are more than two feet deep, the structure they came from must be considered as have been much larger than the estimate above, which is conservative for the visible amount of loose rock around the center, a natural outcrop.
At site of tower above (it could be a rock mound, the real thing, if any such exist) I made compass readings, and took my brand of magnetic survey of the spot, it was negative, indicating that there is no local variation in natural magnetic lines there. Studied the adjoining ridges and marked them for future exploration to see if my theory that these towers were built in a line or circle is right. Too many snakes and leaves to permit much to be done in summer.
This pile of rocks could not have been Page's tower as the spot is too high and narrow. Nor would it be possible for a spring to be within half a mile of the spot. Casual investigation revealed nothing worth mentioning in the artifact line.
Came off hill approximately where I started up it. Decision arrived at after getting back to car. No man-made wall exists on that ridge. The pile of stones must be further investigated as well as high points on ridges which flank it and other prominent spots that may be detected after the leaves fall. Opinion is that there was some sort of "works" here. Time spent on this hill, three and one-half hours.
Studied map and the ridge from car, and decided that this ridge was too short to contain any such sized enclosure. Traveled all the side roads and the main road almost to Powellton, all the way from river. Found at least six ridges that might have a wall on them, but all were too short to accommodate any enclosure the supposed size of Fa.-I. Conclusion, something wrong somewhere.
Stopped seven times at widely separated places and made inquiries as to where the Indian ruins were. Was directed to four or five different places. No one had every actually saw the wall or anything that was connected with ancient aborigines in the area. Investigated none of tips as I could plainly detect a note of uncertainty in the givers' vagueness. One man told me that the wall was atop a ridge that I have already very thoroughly explored and know no such wall is there, or anything else than sandstone outcrops any sensible person would recognize as entirely natural.
Conclusion: Tracing of site, if it exists, is too vague and takes in too much territory. Suspicion arises that the tracing is entirely based upon Page's article and that Page let his enthusiasm blind him when he observed the natural sandstone outcrops common in the area.
However, there is a long, high ridge much to the east of where the site is supposed to be which I haven't explored, and which may actually have a man-made wall atop it. It is too massive and heavily wooded to tackle lightly, accordingly I have written to Meirs, asking when I could see him at his convenience, or when he can get an opportunity to pay me a visit, so that I can learn what he really knows from first-hand observations up there. After which I shall personally investigate and report.
I have spent many days up there searching for this site that everybody but me knows all about, it seems, and found nothing. Considering its tremendous size and specific locations, I have been suffering from an inferiority complex over it! The more I investigate, the more certain I am it either doesn't exist at all, or is somewhere else, since that is a pretty rough place with "walls" all over it that I refuse to believe aren't natural. It may be a case of anything - like me being over-skeptical, or looking in the wrong area.

Report Child Abuse/Neglect?
How do I report abuse or neglect?
Suspected abuse or neglect of children may be reported 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at (215) 683-6100 (also TTY), or to the State Hotline, at (800) 932-0313.
Do I have to give my name when I report?
Reports can be made anonymously. However, when the reporter does give a name, it is not revealed to anyone. This practice is strictly enforced.
Physical Abuse: Is non-accidental, serious physical injury of a child, including beatings, burns, bites, strangulation, or immersion in scalding water resulting in bruises, welts, broken bones, scars, or serious internal injuries. Watch for unexplained bruises, bites, black eyes, broken bones, fading bruises, or other noticeable marks.
Sexual Abuse: Is sexual contact between a child and an adult or older child for the sexual gratification of the offender. It can include both physical and non-physical contact, and it is always forced. Watch for a child's difficulty in walking or sitting, a refusal to change for gym or participate in physical activity, or demonstration of bizarre, over-sophistication, or unusual sexual knowledge or behavior.
Emotional Abuse: Is a pattern of behavior that attacks a child's emotional development and sense of self-worth. Watch for extremely compliant, passive, aggressive, or demanding behaviors, or inappropriately adult or infantile, delayed physical or emotional development, talk of or attempted suicide.
Neglect: Is the withholding of or failure to provide a child with the basic necessities of life: food, clothing, shelter, medical care, attention to hygiene, or supervision needed for optimal physical growth and development. Watch for frequently missed school days, begging or stealing food or money, a lack of needed medical or dental care or glasses, a consistently dirty appearance or severe body odor, or alcohol or drug abuse.
Persons Required to Report Child Abuse
In Pennsylvania, persons whose occupation or profession causes them to come into contact with children are required by law, when they have reasonable cause to suspect abuse, to report or cause a report of that abuse to the county child protective services agency. In Philadelphia, that agency is the Department of Human Services.
Persons who are required to report any suspected abuse include any licensed physician, osteopath, medical examiner, coroner, funeral director, dentist, optometrist, chiropractor, podiatrist, intern, registered nurse, practical nurse, hospital personnel engaged in the admission, examination, care, or treatment of person, a Christian Science practitioner, member of the clergy (except in cases of confidential communication), school administrator, school teacher, school nurse, social services worker, day care or any other child care or foster care worker, mental health professional, peace officer or any law enforcement official. Failure to inform or cooperate in an investigation is a crime under Pennsylvania law.
In Philadelphia, the Department of Human Services staffs a 24 hour hotline to receive reports of possible child abuse or neglect. Reports of suspected physical abuse, sexual abuse, or severe neglect are investigated within 24 hours; other reports are investigated promptly.

Research undertaken by three institutions has uncovered a link between the number of images posted to photo sharing site Flickr and the intensity of the storm being captured in those Flickr images. The focus of the study was Hurricane Sandy, which hit 24 states in late October 2012. New Jersey was among those hardest hit.
Researchers from the United Kingdom-based Warwick Business School, University College London, and Boston University found that as the number of images posted to Flickr grew, the atmospheric pressure in New Jersey dropped by a comparable degree, portending the peak of the storm.
"Quantifying the Digital Traces of Hurricane Sandy on Flickr," published this week in Scientific Reports, stated that 32 million photos were posted on Flickr tagged "Hurricane Sandy," "hurricane," or "sandy" between October 20 and November 20. The highest number of images appeared on the site in the same hour in which Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey.
The report suggested that using online indicators similar to this one could help governments measure the impact of disasters.
Warwick researchers Tobias Preis, associate professor of behavioral science and finance, and Suzy Moat, assistant professor of Behavioral Science, led the project. Both have previously been involved in other projects to find connections between what people seek out online and what they're experiencing in the real world. For example, the frequency with which online visitors search for financial information on Google and Wikipedia could be used as a signal of stock market shifts.
"This study would suggest that in cases where no external sensors are available, it may be possible to use the number of Flickr photos relating to a topic to gauge the current level of this category of problems. Flickr can be considered as a system of large-scale real-time sensors, documenting collective human attention. Increases in Flickr photo counts with particular labels may reveal notable increases in attention to a particular issue, which in some cases may merit further investigation for policy makers," said Moat. "Appropriate leverage of such online indicators of large disasters could be useful to policy makers and others charged with emergency crisis management: in particular if no secondary environmental measures are available."

Despite the fact that this post / topic is a notice for a possible post with pics of my army (Currently a WIP project), I question whether or not this post belongs in General or if it shouldn't have been posted at all. Anywho, I'm not here to waste your time for nothing (kind of an oxymoron, eh?):
Infantry is mostly complete, can't post names (stupid iPad). Will do Tomarrow. Weapon designs not yet complete.
So far, just a ATV that oddly, and very unintentionally, resembles the Planetside 2 Flash ATV. Heavy Helicopter and medium/heavy Star fighter.

In this article
What is eczema?Eczema is a dry, itchy skin condition that affects up to one in five children. It usually appears for the first time before your child is two years old. The good news is that most children who have eczema will grow out of the condition by the time they are in their teens (BAD 2013, NICE 2007). Eczema can't be cured, but it can be controlled with the right treatments.
Eczema is also known as atopic eczema, or atopic dermatitis. Atopic means that your child has inherited the tendency to develop conditions such as eczema, asthma and hayfever. The end result is the same: dry, itchy, red and cracked skin, which can sometimes ooze fluid and bleed. The areas most affected in babies are the hands, face, neck, elbows and backs of the knees (BAD 2013).
Having eczema means that the skin's barrier doesn't work as well as it should, which makes it drier. His skin will be more prone to infections and allergens can enter the skin more easily, which can make the condition worse.
What causes eczema?We don't know exactly what causes eczema, but genes may play a role (BAD 2013, Irvine et al 2011). Allergic conditions, including eczema, asthma, and hayfever, have increased over the last few decades, though it has started to level off.
Eczema affects the skin in flare-ups. Your baby's skin may have dry and itchy patches of skin most of the time, but during flare-ups, these areas worsen and become inflamed. This happens as his immune systems overreacts to substances he's allergic to (allergens). He may then need more intensive treatment.
Eczema flare-ups can sometimes be triggered by skin irritation caused by chemicals, such as the detergents in bubble baths, shampoos, washing powders and fabric softeners. Use bath emollient rather than soaps and detergents in the bath. You could also try changing your washing detergent to non-biological, to see if this improves your baby's eczema.
Eczema can be extremely distressing in babies because they find it very difficult not to scratch, which can lead to infections. In some cases eczema can disturb your child's sleep and affect his confidence (NICE 2013).
How can I treat my baby's eczema?The treatment of eczema depends on its severity. If your child has mild eczema with only a few red and itchy areas, you may simply be advised to use an emollient lotion, cream or ointment, sometimes combined with a short course of a low-strength steroid cream (NICE 2013).
Moisturising your baby's skin to prevent flare-ups is crucial. All children with eczema need to use liberal quantities of an emollient several times a day, even if no patches of eczema are present. This prevents skin from drying out too much (CKS n.d, NICE 2007).
There are a huge variety of moisturisers or emollients available and you may have to try several to find the one that suits your child best. These are available as creams, ointments, lotions and bath additives.
You may have to use large quantities of emollient on a regular basis. Your doctor should regularly offer repeat prescriptions once you know which one works best. Aqueous cream is an emollient that is best avoided. It can contain detergents that can irritate your child's skin (BAD 2013, MRHA 2013, NICE 2011, Tsang et al 2011).
Will using steroids harm my baby?Doctors often recommend that eczema in babies is treated with steroid cream or ointment, as well as an emollient, from time to time. Steroid creams and ointments are safe if used correctly (BAD 2013). Their main side-effect is thinning of the skin if they are used for long periods of time, but there is no evidence that this is permanent.
It's important to use the correct strength of steroid cream, depending on the severity of the eczema. Steroids should always be used under the supervision of your doctor, who will show you how much to put on your baby's skin.
When using steroid cream, only use it on the affected areas, no more than twice a day (BAD 2013, NICE 2013), and remember always to use plenty of emollient cream. You can apply as much emollient as your baby needs.
What other treatments are available?Oral antihistamines are sometimes prescribed if a baby's eczema is very itchy and it's disturbing his sleep, but they aren't used routinely to treat eczema. The ones normally available for young children often cause drowsiness, so are best used at night. You should seek your doctor's advice before giving young children antihistamines (NICE 2007).
If your baby has more severe eczema, he may need stronger steroid creams or ointments from time to time (BAD 2013). If his eczema isn't responding to treatment, he may need to be referred to a specialist dermatologist for other treatments (NICE 2007).
Other treatments that may help severe cases of eczema include dry bandages and wet wrapping, where bandages are soaked in emollient or steroid cream and then dry bandages are wrapped on top (NICE 2007). This helps the treatments to soak into the skin.
What happens if the eczema becomes infected?Eczema can be complicated by skin infections that are often caused by scratching until the skin is broken. If your baby's eczema becomes infected, it may bleed, crust over or weep fluid, and will need antibiotics to clear up the infection. If only a small area is infected, your baby will probably be prescribed an antibiotic cream. If a large area is infected he will need to take antibiotic medicine by mouth (NICE 2007, 2011).
Can I do anything to prevent my child's eczema flare-ups?
- Breastfeeding exclusively for at least four months may help to protect against eczema and other allergies (Greer et al 2008). The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months.
- Some children who develop eczema may be allergic to cow's milk, but it's important to talk to your doctor before removing cow's milk (or cow's milk formula) from your baby's diet. If your baby is formula-fed, your doctor may recommend a trial of a hydrolysed protein formula (NICE 2007). Soya-based formulas and goats' milk formula are not recommended.
- There isn't any firm evidence that avoiding certain foods while you are breastfeeding or during pregnancy will prevent your child from getting eczema (Kramer and Kakuma 2006), but it is worth talking to your doctor if you are breastfeeding and eating a certain food seems to cause a reaction in your child. Don't alter your diet unless you have discussed it with your doctor first.
- There is some evidence that taking probiotics (either in the form of a supplement or food such as yoghurt) during pregnancy may reduce the chance of your child developing eczema (Kallimaki et al 2001, Lee et al 2008, Osborn and Sinn 2008), but more research is needed.
Is there anything else I can do to help?There are other self-help measures you can try:
- It might be worth keeping a diary to see if you can identify what triggers your child's eczema and discussing it with your doctor.
- Some experts believe that exposure to some foods can aggravate eczema. Reactions to individual foods can obviously be helped by avoiding that food, but don't change your child's diet drastically without talking to your doctor.
- Some doctors believe that house dust mites trigger some cases of eczema, though there is no firm evidence that this is the case. As it is impossible to eradicate dust mites completely, many doctors believe it is better to concentrate on treating eczema (BAD 2013, CKS n.d).
- Cotton clothing may help, whereas woollen and synthetic fibres may make your baby too warm, and make his eczema worse (BAD 2013).
- Keep bedding and clothing light and layered, so that you can adjust your baby's temperature easily.
- Keep your baby's nails short to help prevent skin irritation from scratching.

A member at FerrariChat was at his Torino, Italy shop and spotted what he described as a one-off modern interpretation of a Ferrari 410 Superamerica wearing Pininfarina-crossed flags on the rump. We've got no pictures, but we're told it's real.
The poster was taking his Alfa Romeo 8C Spider in for service when he spotted what he described as
"a new Pininfarina one-off, it looked to me like a modern version of the 410 Superamerica, and had Pininfarina "crossed flags" badges in the back. [with coloring] a medium shade of metallic grey... it might be Grigio Titanio. Definitely not Argento Nurburgring and lighter than both Ferrari's Grigio Silverstone and Maserati's Grigio Nuvolari..."
Jim Glickenhaus, who commissioned the one-off Ferrari P4/5 and is working on the P4/5 Competizione, knows about the car but is staying mum on the subject because he isn't the owner. If there's information forthcoming, it'll come from the person holding the title — or someone with a camera who catches it on the streets.
Apparently it's somewhere in the neighborhood of Torino, Italy, so if there are any readers in the area with skills in automotive photographic espionage, please check out the Ferrari dealers for anything you don't recognize. [FerrariChat]

I'll be taking a bit of a break after the election. My pWP stat did great, it was over 94% accurate in predicting the races where I was keeping track, and that's a higher percentage than the model itself would expect. The model only failed to be predictive in races where there wasn't regular polling (North Dakota). I'm hoping to write a long and detailed analysis of the 2012 election and codify all the lessons I learned in using pWP to create a guide for future elections. But I'm going to start a new job here very soon, so I may not get to any of that at all. There will be a few posts on here, from time to time, but for now I have some other big projects to get to. I'm still working on the final draft of a novel, which should keep me plenty busy. Thanks everyone for your interest in my pWP stat, I hope my Republican friends learn to embrace polling as another tool in winning future elections.

Joseph graduated from University of Texas in Austin went on a trip to Spain and was inspired by the fashions in the country. He realized no one was making an everyday pair of luxury underwear that would look good when you take your clothes off, but be comfortable enough to wear throughout the day. Jake Joseph Underwear was born after a lot of research to find the four basic fits that Joseph believes men want. The brand is making a big name for itself. Designer Jake Joseph is even being called the next Calvin Klein. Jake Joseph has even been featured in the infamous blog, The Underwear Expert and in Men's Health Magazine for the best underwear to wear while traveling because it is so comfortable and breathable.The collections include the Stretch Boxer and Trouser Boxer. The Stretch Boxer collection features the rayon viscose and spandex fabric. They have a multiple directional stretch. The stretch product features a classic brief, boxer brief and trunk. The Trouser Boxer collection is made with 100% cotton shirting. They have side venting and seamless rear.Those four basic fits begin with the trouser boxer that features things like single needle stitching, the same type of construction used on shirts. This makes them more durable and a better quality. This type of simplicity brings the brand back to the underwear roots. Many pieces have side vents and snap buttons for convenience. Strong elastic is used in the Jake Joseph underwear for durability. The brand states you can wash these pieces time after time and they will maintain their quality. Jake Joseph Stretch arrives pre-washed to ensure the look and feel will last.Jake Joseph combines comfort and support to bring a classic styling to the modern day man. With Jake Joseph underwear, men are clothed in soft fabrics and strong styles. The 95% rayon viscose and 5% spandex blend is perfect to help you move without bulk and rest in comfort. Men will want to wear them every single day in all different styles so they will always feel like they are wearing nothing, but have the support they need to make it through the day.

Adin1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 184 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
GridCentric (gridcentriclabs.com) is a leading systems and virtualization technology company. We have developed exciting and game-changing technology that allows web services to scale up and down on-demand.
Imagine a web server that automatically grows from one computer to hundreds, then back down to one over the course of a few hours. If Ashton Kutcher tweets about your website or your service, you'll be prepared to handle the millions of err... loyal followers.
As part of our strategy for bringing this technology to the world, we are building a hosting service. We've named it Riotcloud -- servers that are prepared to handle any outburst of traffic without breaking a sweat. We need a logo for the service.
There are a million hosting companies out there -- and the majority of them are in the business or re-branding their services as "cloud". This market is well-established but quickly becoming crowded and difficult to distinguish between all the players.
We are targeting developers, designers and technical decision makers. Our brand must excite and inspire these people, but it must also give the feeling of consistency, reliability and ease-of-use in order to be successful. We're packing an awesome new technology and unheard of capabilities, so we want to make sure that we stand out from the crowd.
If the brand (not speaking to logo here) were a car company -- think Porsche. Exciting, sporty and expensive -- but still practical and very comfortable. Alternately, think Ferrari or Bugatti. Leading edge, fast and cool as hell -- but still street legal.
The logo design is somewhat open-ended, as a result, I will provide feedback often.
Here are some starting guidelines:
We would prefer not to have a plain type-face logo.
We would prefer not to have an explicit cloud in the logo (as it is a bit trite).
We would prefer the logo not to be overly wacky or complex, but it does need to have a little edge to distinguish us from the crowd.
The logo (and later, web design) must stand-up well next to our current logo and design, which you can see at:
Here are some examples of logos in the same space that I think walk a nice line.
I just randomly assembled this list now, so they shouldn't really be considered starting points or indicators of what we like. I'm sure that the name Riotcloud suggests many interesting themes and we're really excited to see the fresh concepts that people come up with.
