THREE AUTUMNS AGO, Portland Monthly partnered with the Oregon Community Foundation and created the Light A Fire Awards to celebrate the achievements of the metropolitan area's lesser-known charities, as well as the volunteers and benefactors who support them. Each year, the selection process begins with an online ballot, where executive directors from local nonprofits and Portland Monthly subscribers nominate individuals and organizations in 13 award categories, explaining in 250 words or less why nominees deserve recognition. Our selection committee then reads through the ballots (347 this year) and chooses winners based not on the number of votes each nominee receives, but on the impact they've had in our community. Now that the October 30 gala has passed, we reintroduce our Light A Fire winners here, in the hope that their stories will spark another round of giving we can celebrate in these pages next year.
North by Northeast Community Health Center
THE NORTH by Northeast Community Health Center officially opens at 6 p.m., but by 6:30, every seat in the clinic's waiting room is taken. That's partly because demand for the clinic's services is so great—and partly because the reception area is so tiny, 10 feet by 12 feet at most. In fact, just eight second-hand chairs fit into the space, but one man, who hopes the doctors can cure the infection ravaging his cracked and cut hands, has been waiting just outside since 3 p.m. to ensure he gets a seat. A few feet away, nine volunteers crammed into the intake office consult charts and make phone calls. On the clinic's front porch, nurse practitioner Ward Mann gestures emphatically, stethoscope swinging from his neck, to a patient.
"I just don't know what we'll do this winter," says Dr. Jill Ginsberg, the clinic's cofounder and a part-time family practitioner at Kaiser Permanente in Vancouver. "During the summer, it's fine for patients to be waiting outside, but we can't have them waiting in the rain."
This wasn't a concern in 2006, the year the free medical clinic on N Williams Ave—which is open for walk-ins on Thursday nights and by appointment on some Monday evenings—started with just two exam rooms and five doctors. The night they hung out their sign, just four patients showed up. But in a state where almost 17 percent of the population has no health insurance (nationwide, only 13 states have higher rates of uninsured residents), word about free health care travels fast. Over the last year, the clinic, which provides free consultations, prescriptions and lab tests to the uninsured, has seen its patient roster grow to more than 500. Every Thursday up to 20 people show up hoping to see a doctor.
The lack of space isn't something Ginsberg can worry about tonight, though. She has eight patients in need of treatment, prescriptions to hand out and a new office manager to train. "It's like Pastor Mary says," Ginsberg quips. "'You just have to do the next thing. You don't have to see what's at the end of the road, just what's in front of your foot.'"
Pastor Mary is 70-year-old Mary Overstreet-Smith, pastor of North Portland's Powerhouse Temple Church of God in Christ, who cofounded the clinic with Ginsberg. Overstreet-Smith, who hails from Gulfport, Miss., made local headlines in 2005 when she underwrote the evacuation of Hurricane Katrina refugees at a time when many people were bemoaning the ineptitude of the federal government's relief effort.
"We have to do more than say something," Overstreet-Smith remarks. "Most of the time we're waiting on someone else, like the president, to do something. He moved too slow for me, so I sold my house and brought 31 families to Portland."
"It's like Pastor Mary says: 'You just have to do the next thing.'"
The day the levees broke, Overstreet-Smith wired money she had in savings to her daughter, who had escaped from Gulfport to Tennessee, with instructions to rent a van and collect as many survivors as she could. When all was said and done, more than 100 Katrina refugees found themselves on airplanes or Greyhound buses headed for Portland, where Overstreet-Smith had already found apartments for them and paid three months' worth of rent (using the proceeds from the sale of her home). But when Overstreet-Smith took the families to what was once a free medical clinic on NE Alberta St, she discovered it had closed down.
"I had to take them to a crowded ER," says Overstreet-Smith. "And while I was sitting there I thought, 'These people need care. I should open my own clinic.'" All she needed was a doctor.

text: I've been experimenting with Torben's LSM for the 2.6 kernel, and the realtime group permissions mechanism we discussed. Naturally, there are some problems. The worst is that GTK-2 will not tolerate the use of setgid... (process:11284): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead. For further details, see: http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html Refusing to initialize GTK+. This seems to totally invalidate the setgid approach we had discussed, at least for audio applications using GTK. QT does not seem to complain about setgid, though most of the reasons for avoiding it with GTK surely apply there as well. So, I modified Torben's LSM to check supplementary groups, and this seems to work fine. From a system admin perspective it's pretty good. I'm a member of group `audio', which was accomplished by adding my user ID (joq) to the appropriate entry in /etc/group... audio:x:29:joq Then, I loaded the LSM like this... $ sudo modprobe jackcapabilities rtgid=29 After that, all my processes have realtime privileges. I can run JACK under my normal user ID... $ jackd --realtime -d alsa I had to make a small change to JACK for this to work, so you'll need CVS sources to try it. Note that `jackstart' was not needed. Then, when I start various JACK applications they automatically acquire realtime privileges, too... $ alsaplayer -o jack & $ ardour & $ jamin & For reasons I cannot explain, this works without requiring the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability, a welcome but unexpected bonus. I would appreciate comments, feedback, and bug reports. If you want to try it, don't forget that it has received minimal testing. Neither I nor anyone else can promise that it will not adversely affect your system security or stability.

That last last statement is not what I'm talking about at all. The popularity of DayZ is bringing in good players, bad players, and different players. But I think the intimidation factor is something you have all wrong. All I read is about players who are afraid that BI is going to neglect the milsim elements of ArmA for fixes or development related to DayZ and its zombie survival game. They say that it brings in the wrong players, and inspires the wrong patches, and dominates all servers. I don't know how you can separate these statements from an intimidation- or at least an inconvenience- of DayZ's popularity.From what I've seen, most of the griping is because of some of the kinds of players that DayZ has attracted. The problem isn't jealousy over the fact that DayZ is popular, more popular, MAYBE, than ArmA. The problem is that you have newcoming, DayZ players saying that ArmA is crap without DayZ. That it is DayZ that has made ArmA good, and that it wasn't any good before. Basically, comments like that are an insult to BIS, to the amazing games that BIS has made, games that make DayZ possible, and it's an insult to the existing ArmA community, who enjoy ArmA's "boring, lame, not good" gameplay. That's what annoys me at least. The fact that it has attracted players who don't care at all about ArmA. Because, when you have players like that, and game article writers like that, who only see DayZ, then, when there are articles about ArmA3 that always bring up DayZ, it does take away attention from ArmA3. ArmA3 is slighted, it's "specialness" diminished, when articles mention DayZ without mentioning that ArmA2's realistic sandbox-oriented gameplay and extensive moddability is what makes DayZ possible. And I've seen a whole lot of articles about DayZ that don't highlight that.
The main issue is with DayZ players, not with the mod itself. One, that there are players who have the audacity to think that DayZ makes ArmA, not the other way around. Two, that the mod feeds off of a general obsession with zombies, and that this primarily is what makes DayZ popular; that, considering all of the zombie games that have been announced, just creates a kind of sense that DayZ is an opportunist mod that is trying cashing in on zombies because others are doing so.
That last one is kind of what I've seen people complain about, mostly on Youtube (because that's where the vocal debates are, mostly). Because, the sense is like DayZ is getting all this undue praise. The general animosity towards it is that DayZ is a good mod, but it's not like the best thing in gaming, but that seems to be the level of praise it's getting. And, what a lot of anti-DayZ people have said is that DayZ isnt the best thing for ArmA [I]just because it's popular[./I] For me, I recognize that DayZ is a good mod, a popular mod, but I don't think it deserves praise more than ArmA does. I'd say what DayZ is to other zombie-themed games and mods, ArmA is to the shooter genre as a whole, if not more so. But ArmA doesn't get that kind of praise. Why? Because it doesn't cash in on a popular fetish so to speak. I honestly haven't seen a whole lot of difference in ArmA2 from before DayZ came out to afterwards. I haven't seen anything revolutionary that has migrated from DayZ to ArmA2.
Popularity isn't necessarily a sign of ultimate success. Nor is popularity or fun an indicator of the direction ArmA should go in. Twitch shooters are also extremely successful, popular, and fun for a lot of people. Just given the example of DayZ servers that have turned into shoot-fests, I think it's clear that DayZ itself does not automatically engender a desire to play "more methodical[ly]". The rest of the industry doesn't have much to take notice of. The only thing it has to take notice of is that they need to always be doing something "different" to draw even more players than the many they already have. Yes, it's good that DayZ is designed around survival, and slow-paced, thought out gameplay. So is ArmA. But that doesn't mean you're forced to play it that way. Modern Warfare is designed to be a fast-paced, arcade shooter, but there are "hardcore, tactical" players who setup crouch-only, friendly fire, increased weapon damage, no hud servers.
Ultimately, I don't think you're right that people gripe over DayZ's popularity, or the number of DayZ players, as if non-DayZ players are jealous of or feel intimidated by DayZ players. If ACE2 were as popular as DayZ, and resulted in large numbers of sales for ArmA2, you wouldn't have community members being against the mod or the players it brought in. Why not? Because the ACE mod builds on the kind of game ArmA2 is. And it attracts players who recognize what ArmA is and what makes it unique, and who have a general sense that the mod they are playing is meant to make ArmA better (and you judge what's better by what kind of game ArmA is designed to be and what it's marketed as, a realistic, highly moddable military sandbox game). Where as there are DayZ players who don't share that view. And there's not a direct, apparent, obvious correlation between DayZ and improvement for ArmA. There's speculative hypotheticals of what DayZ could mean for ArmA. There's the renewed interest in releasing MP improvement patches, but that's spurred on by the renewed community focus on MP and that DayZ is an MP game, not by the kind of mod DayZ is. And I'm using the term ArmA to refer to the series as a whole, not ArmA1.

Before we start into this week's column, I do want to assure any prospective frost DPSers that I fully plan to write a frost DPS 101 guide. In fact, up until a few days ago, I had every intention of writing that as today's column. Then I sat down at the computer on Friday, and we had a nice shiny new PTR with a whole mess of frost DPS buffs. It's probably going to take a bit for us to sort through those buffs, see how they affect speccing and gearing, and whether or not they'll make it live, so for now, we're going to focus on some other topics.
This week, the subject is the loot in the final section of Icecrown Citadel, the Frostwing Halls. There's only a few bosses here, but you'll find some great off-spec pieces, a few best in slots items, and some interesting weapon choices. I'll offer my usual disclaimer here and recommend that you go back and review the opening paragraphs of our Lower Spire loot guide, since it lists some basic stat rundowns and philosophies that you should keep in mind as you read these guides. You may also want to review the stat weights discussed in blood DPS 101 and unholy DPS 101 as you pick out your DPS gear from these pages.
Valithria Dreamwalker
The Oxheart, overall, probably isn't as great for most 2-hand wielding death knights as Ramaladni's. It has less expertise, and critical strike rating instead of armor penetration. That said, if the Ramaladni's just won't drop for you, this is still a more than decent weapon.
Taiga Bindings are likely to be better than anything a 10-man raiding death knight is otherwise wearing, although the haste is a bit lackluster death knight DPS at the moment. The red gem socket makes up a bit for the less than optimal itemization, at least.
The Ironrope Belt of Ymirjar isn't a bad tank belt if you're a 10-man raider, but overall, you should probably only consider it a holdover until you have the spare emblems to buy the Verdigris Chain Belt, or a quick solution if you are really hurting for threat and aren't at 8% hit yet.
The Noose of Malachite is a nice little tanking side-grade to the Bile-Encrusted Medallion. It doesn't have as much strength and no armor, but it does have more dodge rating and defense as well as a good chunk of hit. Which one is specifically better for you will probably depend on your gearing needs and the boss you're fighting.
Grinning Skull Greatboots are probably going to be your best in slot tanking option in almost every situation. There's just not another comparable set of boots in game with defense on them. Boots of Kingly Upheaval do come close if you need the hit and already have 540 defense, but most death knights should just grab the greatboots.
The armor on Devium's Eternally Cold Ring means there's no better ring for absorbing large amounts of physical damage. It makes an excellent duo with the Juggernaut Band for most general purpose tanking.
The Coldwraith Links is going to be your best in slot belt in most cases unless you need hit, in which case you can grab the Malevolent Girdle from emblems.
The Scourge Reaver's Legplates are technically kind of sort of a decent choice for some death knights if and only if some other conditions are met. First, you should already be at 26 expertise without the stats on your legs. Secondly, you're wearing the other 4 pieces of tier 10 DPS. If you do not meet either of these criteria, you are better off wearing your tier 10 legplates. Then again, until you get the heroic version of the Scourge Reaver's Legplates, it may be better to wear a pair of Legplates of Painful Death if you can get your hands on them, at least for blood and unholy death knights,
Scourge-Fanged Stompers will be about the best defense boots you can grab as an exclusive 10-man raider, though you may consider getting a pair of Boots of Kingly Upheaval if you don't need the defense off the stompers. Either way, you're getting a big chunk of hit, which can, at the least, free you up to grab more defensive stats elsewhere.
The Legplates of Aetheric Strife actually end up being a pretty excellent set of legs for unholy and blood death knights thanks to the armor penetration. Again, though, you want to make sure you have the 4 piece DPS bonus, so keep that in mind when choosing between these or your tier 10 legplates.
The Etched Dragonbone Girdle is more than passable for death knight DPS, especially if you're aren't expertise dodge capped yet. That said, you may also want to consider buying the Malevolent Girdle, which will be better overall if you can use the hit rating to reach your 8%.
Sindragosa's Flawless Fang is most definitely drool worthy for any death knight tank. Combine it with the Corroded Skeleton Key for massive amounts of stamina. You may still need to grab the Corpse Tongue Coin for those times you need a bit more avoidance, and a heroic Unidentifiable Organ from 10-man may still edge out the Corroded Skeleton Key for pure effective health, but it's hard to go wrong picking up this trinket.
You can also pick up a Vanquisher's Mark of Sanctification from Sindragosa. Thanks to recent patches and hot fixes, tanks get a lot more use out of tier gear than they used to, and by now I've hopefully drilled it into your head how awesome the DPS set tier bonuses are, so regardless of what role you play, you may want to get your hands on 4 of these or so.
The Lich King
The Warmace of Menethil is pretty the pinnacle of DPS for a 10-man raiding 2-handed death knight. It's even pretty close to perfectly itemized, with armor penetration and 2 red gem slots. It's not quite as well itemized for tanking, but the extra stamina and DPS may still make up for the loss of expertise on a Ramaladni's Blade.
Glorenzelg, High Blade of the Silver Hand is more or less going to be your most readily available, powerful option for a weapon if you can't get Shadowmourne, especially if you need expertise. The expertise also means this isn't a bad choice for some tank death knights too, depending on gearing needs.
Oathbinder, Charge of the Ranger General deserves another mention if only because the agility, again, makes it a decent tanking weapon thanks to the dodge. Furthermore, If you aren't human and/or don't need the expertise, many parsings actually put it as a better DPS weapon that Glorenzelg, likely in part because the armor penetration is currently a very good stat for both blood and unholy. That said, you may have to watch your back around hunters and feral druids, and when patch 4.0 comes out, the weapon will get a bit worse for DPS and threat (but better for avoidance), as the attack power should all be converted to more raw agility, so you may want to take Glorenzelg anyway.
Havoc's Call, Blade of Lordaeron's Kings is your best in slot if you're a dual wielding death knight. It's got the nice slow speed and high damage for weapon strikes, leading to the highest possible DPS and threat. Get a pair of these, and you should be set through the expansion, or at least to the Ruby Sanctum.
Welcome to Lichborne, the weekly class column on the newest WoW class, the death knight, where we discuss PuG etiquette and Emblem of Triumph gear for the Death Knight tank, 5-man Crusader's Coliseum gear for tanks and DPS,and basic Death Knight statistics and mechanics.

Garden Mindfulness was something I thought about a lot at this time last year before my Mom passed away. While I was caring for her I would take whatever few minutes I could throughout the day to go outside into the garden and breathe deeply of nature's beauty, to just be mindful of and present with the wonder and beauty of the world around me.
These quiet moments alone in the garden, of being aware of the present moment, of expressing thanks and gratitude, of observation became my soul connection to the earth. And I'm so grateful I got to share them with my mom.
And now as I reflect on this Thanksgiving season without her, I am grateful all over again that I had the opportunity to share those moments with my Mom while I was caring for her physical needs and being with her for all of that time.
I am grateful every day for the warmth of the sun on my face, the kiss of the breeze against my cheek, the cheerful sounds of the birds calling, the beauty of the butterflies who swirl in the air, and so many beautiful flowers that provide sustenance for my beloved wildlife garden critters.
I'm also filled with gratitude for my friends and family, as well as my two amazing teams of writers who work so hard every day to bring you the best of Beautiful Wildlife Gardens as well as Team Native Plants and Wildlife Gardens.
With Gratitude to the Amazing Efforts of Team Beautiful Wildlife Garden:
I feel incredibly blessed by this amazing team who teaches me something new every day. Their knowledge of the natural world and passion for creating welcoming habitats for wildlife in our gardens is unequalled anywhere.
Please take the time to check out all of their personal blogs, Facebook pages, and follow them on Twitter. You'll be thankful you did

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives' Gretchen Rossi Thinks Alexis Bellino Is Copying Her, 'Single White Female' Style
Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino are at it again! This time, the former Real Housewives of Orange County BFFs have taken to Twitter to battle it out over Alexis's new hairdo. Yesterday, the blonde Housewife debuted her new cropped tresses, and Gretchen — who'd trimmed her locks in July — cried foul and accused Alexis of being a copycat.
Last night, Alexis shared a pic of her new 'do on Twitter, writing "I wanted 2 do this cut for over a yr!after last season nothing scares me!Thoughts? Look for Sophisticates mag 4 details."
Gretchen responded with the snarky tweet: "Some call it...single white female! Lol" and retweeted a follower's suggestion that she was "one upping" her again, adding, "Lots keep saying that to me :(."
Gretchen also claimed that she'd predicted Alexis's new look, writing "@HeatherDubrow and@TamraBarney and I had a bet how long it would be till u cut your hair!!! LOL!"
Alexis pulled out her own set of claws on and responded, "I feel sad that's all they have to spend time doing. So sorry." Alexis also explained that it was actress/singer Miley Cyrus — who recently cut her hair super-short — and not Gretchen who inspired the move, tweeting "she is actually who inspired me & she is flattered!"
Whoa, Alexis knows Miley? That's pretty cool.

Either I had a casting knot or kink that missed the periodic inspection or it just degraded over a few days. FWIW, that knot had already caught a couple fish. I'm afraid my 2 year old is gonna start dropping the f-bomb with the turrets I've developed.

The New Film ARABIA Premiers at MOSI
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Tuesday) | Listen to this entire show:
First up today, a new IMAX film about Saudi Arabia premiers this week at The Museum Of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa. Our guest served as an adviser to the film.
Robert Lacey is author of the best-selling book The Kingdom, which is a look at the recent history of Saudi Arabia. Lacey is a distinguished British journalist and historian and the author of the book Inside The Kingdom: Kings, Clerics, Modernists, Terrorists, and the Struggle for Saudi Arabia, a follow-up to his 1982 bestseller, The Kingdom. In 1979, Robert moved with his family to Saudi Arabia for eighteen months to research The Kingdom, a study of the countryâs complex and often paradoxical culture. For the past three years, Robert has split his time between Saudi Arabia and London, gathering material for the sequel, which picks up where The Kingdom left off.
Robert served as a special advisor to the IMAX Theatre film, Arabia. Arabia opens to the public at MOSIâs IMAX® Dome Theatre on Wednesday, October 27. This film follows Hamzah Jamoom, a charismatic film student, as he visits his native country and allows viewers to discover the city of Madain Saleh and its primeval tombs, explore ancient shipwrecks in the Red Sea, experience the Hajj and travel back in time to the Islamic Golden Age of Science. Also joining us are the film makers Greg and Barbara MacGillivray.comments powered by Disqus

Welcome to another edition of 10 Thoughts on Smackdown! The road to SummerSlam is underway, and the Summer of Punk is upon us…let's see how the Blue Crew is responding to what's been the hottest angle WWE's had in about a year.
And here…we….go!
Tonight's show was thumbs up. Good wrestling, good storyline progression…it was one of the more watchable Smackdown episodes I've seen in a while. On another note, SummerSlam is shaping up to be a pay-per-view worth buying…if they don't screw it up. One other thing to mention: people have been bashing R-Truth's weapon of choice being a water bottle. Try smacking yourself upside the head with a one-liter bottle of water and see if it doesn't hurt…it's still a little heavy, people…just sayin'.
Until next time…

Exercise 1
Exercise 2
Vulcanicity: – involves a process through which molten rock (magma) and gases from interior moves on to the earth surface along lines of weakness (fault lines).
Features formed: – on reaching the surface the magma which becomes lava, cools and solidifies either on the earth surface forming extrusive volcanic features or magma may solidify below the earth 's surface forming intrusive volcanic features.
and intrusive features. (Bunnet)
1. Lava - that moves to the surface differs in chemical composition, this party explain the different types or shapes of volcanoes and nature of eruption whether explosions or quite.
2. Volcanoes: These are hills or mountains formed when magma erupt and piles up around the vent until a cone is formed. These are basically four types of volcanic cones.
Types of volcanic cones
cone:These are small but steep sided hills formed when explosive
eruptions throw lava high into the air, breaking up lava into small fragments
or pieces known as pyroclastics (fire rocks). The erupted materials build up or
accumulate around the opening known as vent; layer after layer forming steep sided
cones of about 150 metres high. examples in Kenya are Suswa and Menegai hills
and Teleki hills south of Lake Turkana and Longonat. The hills are characterised
by a large crater /caldera at the top because of violet eruptions.
circular depression caldera - an enlargement of a crater on top of
are found on Menegai, Suswa, Longnot in Kenya, Napaka, and Elgon in Uganda. Ngorogoro
in Tanzania.
lava dome: These are doom shaped hills, thick
lava rich in silica content, solidifies quickly on reaching the surface, forming
a volcanic dome or cone of viscous lava, examples – sernal volcano
domes in Tsavo national park in Kenya.
Volcanic plug: The thick lava (viscous) lava, at times solidifies in the vent, after prolonged erosion, the plug is exposed to the surface examples are the Tororo rocks in Eastern Uganda.
composite cone: A
composite cones are large mountains formed when volcanic eruptions alternate between
quite and violent eruptions. An exposure period releases gas and ash and cinder
layers. Then the eruption changes to a quite period erupting lava over the top
of ash layer, when the cycle of ash and lave is repeated over and over in alternating
layers, a composite volcano is formed.
springs /geyser: These are features
produced when heated water in volcanic areas flow out queitely in form of hot
springs or erupt periodically shooting out water /steam in the air.
kitagata hotspring in Bushenyi
dammed lakes: These are formed when lava blocks channels. Water pools
behind leading to formation of lakes. Examples L.Bunyonyi and L. Mutande in southwest
1. Batholiths: these are mostly massive rocks. They are dome shaped, formed at great depth and at times they are exposed at the surface by denudational forces as inselbergs. Examples are mumbende hills, parabong and labwa hills in Acholi. Mumias and Kisii batholith in Kenya.
Dykes: formed when magma solidifies into vertical cracks, cutting
across rock layers. When affected by erosion dykes may stand as a ridge. There
are ridges in most of Turkana and Sukulu hills South of Tororo town.
Sills: formed when lava solidifies in between rock layers, after
prolonged erosion, Sills may be exposed as escarpments and while they occur across
a river valley they cause water falls and rapids. Examples are Thika and Thompson
falls in Kenya, Karuma falls and Bujagali in Uganda.
Laccolith: this is magma which solidifies in a shape similar
to a mushroom. After prolonged erosion, it may form upland.
5. Lappolith: This is a sauce shaped magma, after erosion. It can be exposed as a shallow basin. Examples are Arenas in Ankole.
Advantages of Vulcanicity
1. Volcanic mountains and lava plateau provide fertile volcanic soils which support agriculture, e.g. Arabic coffee is grown on mountain Elgon, Mufumbiro, Kenya and Kilimanjaro, coffee earns the country foreign currency and provides employment, other crops grown include wheat, tea, pyrethrum, maize, bananas, vegetables, irish potatoes.
2. The highland areas are densely settled. This is due to the fertile soils and cool climate, e.g. Bugishu, Kigezi, Kenya and Kilimanjaro highlands. In addition some of these areas have large towns like Kabale, Mbale, Moshi, and Nairobi. This has led to development of commercial activities.
3. The volcanic features especially mountains are tourist attractions. They provide sporting activities like mountain climbing. They generate income in form of foreign exchange and provide employment to local people.
4. Volcanic mountains influence climate, lead to formation of geographic or relief rainfall which is important for agriculture. Some mountains are ice capped. They are a source of many rivers, which provide water for domestic use and generate hydroelectric power.
5. There are forest reserves on the slopes of mountains like Elgon, Mufumbiro Kenya, and Kilimanjaro which are valuable source of timber and firewood. The forests also act as wildlife conservation areas e.g. Bwindi impenetrable forests, has the largest population of gorillas, which promote tourism.
Lava or magma is rich in minerals e.g. Tororo rock volcanic plug is a source of
limestone for the cement industry. Iron,tin uranium are found in the Mufumbiro
7. Hot springs or Geysers are potential source of Geothermal power (electricity).in Kenya ,the Olkaria Geothermal Power Station near lake Naivasha in Kenya, generates electricity.
There is fishing in lava-damned lakes, which provides food and employment.
Disadvantages of Vulcanicity

Audio Samples
Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
The pair of monumental song cycles for tenor and chamber ensemble that comprise the new CD Open House in many ways represent a culmination of 20th century American art song. Written for lyrical tenor and longtime champion of new work Paul Sperry, the songs by William Bolcom and Robert Beaser combine poetry and music to create a heady mixture that brims with refinement and craft. Sperry is at home in a repertoire that extends from Monteverdi opera and Bach Passions to Britten's "Nocturne" and hundreds of songs in more than a dozen languages, but it is to American music that he has brought a conviction and enthusiasm that has breathed life into it for countless listeners.
"Paul Sperry has surpluses of songfulness, curiosity, and intelligence." - The New Yorker
American Record Guide, March / April 2013
The music is engaging and employs a wide range of compositional expression. Bolcom's cycle is the more challenging vocally and calls forth a wider range of expression. Sperry has been a champion of contemporary music, and he sings these works well. His diction is clear and his light lyric voice has a penetrating quality. The recorded sound is significantly different in each cycle; the excellent analog sound is more spacious.
Paul Sperry's 2012 release on Innova consists of two important performances separated by almost 23 years: William Bolcom's Open House, A Song Cycle to Seven Poems of Theodore Roethke, was recorded with Dennis Russell Davies and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra for Nonesuch in 1975, and Robert Beaser's Songs from The Occasions of Eugenio Montale was recorded with Kenneth Klein and the New York Virtuosi in 1998. Despite the passage of time, Sperry's voice is strong and limber in both performances, and his powers of communication are well-matched in the two recordings, which display a wide range of moods and expressions, and not a few technical challenges. Yet there are important differences. Beaser's songs are scored for tenor and a septet of flute, clarinet, horn, violin, viola, cello, and piano, which is sparely used, while in Bolcom's cycle, the tenor is more substantially accompanied by a chamber orchestra. As a result, Beaser's music often calls for a quiet, intimate delivery, while Bolcom's is much more theatrical and extroverted. There is also the difference between the close-up digital recording of the 1998 performance and the analog sound of 1975, which puts Sperry at noticeable distance. The value of this CD to followers of these composers is quite high, because Open House was only ever available on LP and Songs from The Occasions appears never to have been commercially available. ~ Blair Sanderson

EPOCH. ($5.99) by Uppercut Games Pty Ltd is a futuristic combat shooter for iOS in which you're a robot fighting to survive. It's an all out robot war in this post-apocalyptic era where only robots have survived and are fighting for their lives. You're looking for the person you were initially sent to protect.
Collect pieces of the puzzle, blow up your enemies, and, at the end of each stage, scrap what you can from the remains of those you've demolished and add to your own equipment to become a better fighter.
The gesture-based movement is flawless: swipe right or left to roll on the ground in that direction, avoiding the incoming fire. Swipe down to take cover and, while hidden, you can swipe down again to reload while you wait to safely come back out and open fire on your enemies. To come out from cover, just swipe up on the screen.
To fire back at your enemies, all you do is tap them once and you will automatically fire at them until they die. You will automatically reload your weapon, but it's still best to do so once you've taken cover as you are vulnerable while reloading. On the bright side, your enemies are vulnerable when reloading, as well — so, make it a point to attack them while they're doing so.
Initially, you just have to deal with normal fire, but then it gets ugly: grenades, lasers, and other threats will be thrown at you repeatedly.
Along the way you will collect intel — mostly logs from the different characters — to finally figure out who you're meant to protect. You will also collect scrap parts from your fallen enemies to add to your armor and give you more special abilities and attacks.
This game is a bit repetitive in that you spend all of your time moving back and forth to avoid fire, shooting, and reloading. You don't get to freely explore, which is kind of a bummer. However, the graphics are truly stunning; it definitely keeps you engaged and is easy to pick up and play.
EPOCH is a universal app and is available in the App Store for $5.99. It has Game Center support and is worth the price if you don't mind the repetitive gameplay.
What it lacks in replay ability, it does make up for with the intuitive controls and stunning visuals. I liked the game a lot, but until there is a bit more depth — perhaps some multiplayer action? — it's a bit pricey. I'd wait for a sale to try this game out unless you think the visuals and gesture controls alone are worth it.

why the scooter CC race?

IMO it all boils down to our Interstate highway system and all the freeways around cities. Traffic on these roads typically moves at 75mph or so, and so most folks seem to want bikes or scooters capable of sustaining those speeds. That pretty much sets about 400cc as the absolute bottom limit, and bigger is better.
Most bikes/scooters in the 125-250 cc range can keep up with the slower speeds on 2-lane roads and in town, so if that's all you'll do why go bigger? The smaller bikes are more nimble and economical to buy and maintain, too.
I find traveling 4-lane roads boring, although they are an efficient way to cover long distances. If I've got to use them I'd just as soon take a car.
But if you're out to see the sights and get a feel for the country rather just making time, the 2-lanes and back roads are a lot more relaxed and fun to travel.

Ah, ok.
Well, mine started simply because of the same reason, in 2006, when my own 950 pump started to give problems.
As a challenge I replaced it, first with breakers+Fet, later with a opto (and actually also included the 'on' function of the boardcomputer into it and removed the original fuelpump-relay: one of many things to make my 950 lighter).
I used the 950 3 years to drive rally: 8th an 4th in the Tuareg rally (profi-class) and 1st in Eastern Europe rally (OER). now I have a 690 for this.
I always liked inventing electronics for bikes.
ANyway: My friends started to ask me whether I also could make this pump-switch for them... but of course I could not give them something like my own prototype (one-off, reused parts etc). So I draw up a pcb and perfected the schematic and pcb, making it 'reproducable' and also easy to mount for everyone with a solder iron. But developing a PCB and trying-out things has its price.
I still hand-solder all boards myself and don't really want to make 'production' out of it and I don't try to make profit of it, just enough to cover expenses, an occasional 'lost' in the mail etc. And some to develop the next version...
I am not a company doing this! Its hobby, I have a real job too
I just hope to help people out with this fix.
Reverse connecting the pump and board will blow-up the pump-diode indeed (so how do you fix this: blow out the diode completely?) and usually it also damages my kit-board.
There is an extra diode on the board, so if the original pump-diode doesn't work, that is not a problem.

press release
Minister of Home Affairs, Naledi Pandor, today, Friday, 4 January 2013 visited Khayelitsha where she issued temporary identity documents (IDs) to victims of the recent fire disaster in Khayelitsha. Over 3 000 (three thousand) victims residing in 900 informal dwellings were affected when a fire raged on New Year's Day.
In this regard, most of the residents lost their IDs among other possessions during the disaster. Home Affairs, realising that without basic and enabling documents such as ID's, the lives of those affected will grind to a halt, decided to intervene to make the burden of those affected lighter with the issuance of temporary IDs.
Accordingly, the Director-General Mkuseli Apleni waived the normal fees as required by law, for the issuance of second IDs R140 (one hundred and forty rand), temporary IDs R20 (twenty rand) and birth certificates R20 (twenty rand) as part of our social responsibility and restoration of the dignity of those affected by the fire disaster.
Minister Pandor was supported in the visit to Khayelitsha by Home Affairs Western Cape Provincial Manager, Yusuf Simons and a team of home Affairs and South African Social Security Agency officials.

home of Orin and Miriam Loo. Orin, an artist and printer, owned a small
publishing business, and Miriam thought the postcards he produced would
make a good fundraising product. She began a mail-order campaign to 500
ministers asking them if their church groups would sell the postcards.
Her idea was a great success, and soon the family began producing a full catalog of beautifully designed greeting cards, recipe cards, and other paper products.

I'm a grad student with a family, so disposable income is nonexistent. I hadn't had a bike in years, and being back on campus really gave me the itch again. I just happened to stumble onto a good deal on an XR250L so I gritted my teeth, pulled out the credit card, and made the deal. I rode it like it was for a season, then turned into a low-budget motard with some Bandit wheels and rattlecan paint.
The project now is to turn it into a mule for some 3-5 day camping trips. I fabbed up a luggage rack from scrap aluminum:
I wanted some hard cases, but again on the cheap. I found a sweet military surplus waterproof aluminum case that should make a good trunk box. I want it to mount and dismount quickly, so the plan is to make an aluminum tray the same size as the bottom of the box, with walls an inch or two high around the edges. I have some toolbox type latches laying around, so I'm thinking I can put the bigger part on the box and the smaller part on the tray. The tray will bolt to the luggage rack, then the box can go off and on just by flipping a few latches. I don't know if that description makes any sense, but I'm open to other suggestions. I'm also planning on putting some strap loops on the outside of the box so I can lash additional stuff outside of it, although the box is big enough that if I fill it I'll probably end up riding a perpetual wheelie.
I find the gearing on my bike to be too high for the typical 60 MPH max state road driving I do (no way I'm taking this little lightweight out on the highway). It's a six speed tranny and doesn't have enough power to pull sixth gear. The countershaft sprocket that was on it when I bought it is the smallest available and I haven't been able to come up with the $50 for a bigger rear sprocket, so for now I'm living with it.
I haven't camped since I was little, so this summer will be a learning experience. I got a 2-man tent and a sleeping bag for Christmas, I figure that plus a good supply of water, jerky, and trail mix should be enough to get me started. I'd like a stove, but again the money thing is an issue.
Getting a KLR is pretty high on the priority list for when I graduate, but for now I'm more than happy tooling around on my little 250. I'm building up to longer distances, and it seems like as long as I stop every hour or so to relieve the butt I should be able to go all day.
That's enougb rambling for me. I'm looking forward to hear everyone else weigh in on this one.

I still think select() is the way to go. (Mark beat me to the punch.)
Signals are an unnecessarily complicated way to approach the problem.
The select() call will block until your driver has data available. You
can timeout periodically if you want to provide UI updates like clock
displays, but select() lets you block on one or more streams until they
have input, which seems perfect for the application.

Emily Mortimer is in talks for the female lead in Aaron Sorkin's HBO pilot, "More As This Story Develops" (working title), as a the executive producer of a cable news show. It's said that she's excellent when it comes to her career, but a failure at all other aspects of her life. Just like a Katherine Heigl movie. Or an Aaron Sorkin television show.
Mortimer and Marisa Tomei were the front-runners for the role but Tomei recently dropped out as she decided not to do television at this time. Umm, it's not TV, Marisa Tomei… it's HBO. She's obviously been DVRing through the commercials. (Deadline)

BROOKSIDE - The Community Farmers Market at Brookside (KCMO) - for Market Day (SATURDAYS)
under the white tents at theBorder Star Montessori School
63rd & Wornall, Kansas City, MO 64113
Greetings Market Friends!
The weather is a little nippy, but pop a sweater on and join us - you'll be rewarded. A frost is likely coming soon, and the peppers and eggplants this week may be the last, so stock up now. There are only notes from a couple vendors this week, but the usual crew should be there Saturday, bundled up but smiling (or at least scowling in a friendly manner).
From our vendors:
Who will brave the weather with us?
Who is tough enough to show up at the market at 8:00 am when the sun has just peaked through the clouds of night? KCCUA farmers will be there. We'll be there with one of your last chances to get fresh produce this year. We're bringing amazing vegetables.
We will have sweet potatoes. They've become our #1 veggie over the last few weeks. We also have a few varieties of winter squash, but these are going fast. The sweet peppers are ripe and ready for grill or stuffing, okra very snackable, and summer squash that refuses to believe it is all over. Filet beans and tri-color beans are in abundance. We'll also be harvesting edamame for market. This crop squeaked in just in time. Who knows if the cold weather will finish the plants next week…this may be your last chance till next June! We STILL have tomatoes Closing the high tunnels has helped the plants ripen the fruit. It's time for a root celebration. Big boy turnips are perfect, if I'm allowed to say that. The beets are huge, full of color and flavor. We'll have orange, Hercules carrots in bunches. Cherry belle radishes and new black, Nero di Tondo radishes, too. Leek bundles for soup. Scallions. Some mini onions. Garlic. Hot peppers like cayenne, pepperoncini, Thai and habanera. Eggplant, Herbs. And greens in the form of braising mix (aka Funky Fresh), bags o'baby chard, bags o'baby kale, sweet potato greens, salad mix, lettuce mix, microgreens, arugula, watercress, and spinach!
And I'm bringing Katherine!!! The only farmer who can say that!
I do hope to see you Saturday!
Blue Door
Gotta love sweatshirt weather! Turnip weather! Even (gasp!) broccoli weather! Only one lonely head of broccoli is ready this week but I'm getting pretty excited about next week.
This week, however, the turnips and radishes once again reign. Also on the table this week is more tasty pac choi, yummy japanese eggplant and colorful swiss chard. The kale seems to love this weather, so I'll bring several bunches.
No raab this week , but another planting should be ready next week.
See you Saturday!

Now that Prof Chinedu Osita Nebo has taken over as the new power sector minister, this is a good point to take stock of the entire power-sector reform project, to see where we are, what has been achieved, and whether the Roadmap can benefit from new insights. The Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP) has already announced such a review.
I was in the Centre for Leadership Support and Social Progress (CLSSP) team that worked on an independent review of the Roadmap, which (in CLSSP's review report of April 2012) advanced several interesting suggestions for building on the Roadmap. The following are a few thoughts on the reform.
The federal government is clearly not getting enough credit for the achievements recorded in the sector in the last two years. Therefore, a very strategic task for the new minister will be the management of our national expectations from the reform. Government will help the reform by structuring the deliverables in a way that will not only resonate with the public, but also make it easier for the president to take (undisputed) credit for his achievements in the sector. This is also politically expedient, considering that the duty of the opposition is to deny government any kind of credit, even when such credit may be well-deserved!
Another issue is the sector's propensity for "gain reversal". Recall that following (former minister) Prof. Barth Nnaji's exit, there was a noticeable deterioration in the level of power supply. Media speculations at the time, suggested that the power-sector workers, who openly celebrated Nnaji's exit, wasted no time in resorting to their business-as-usual tactics, once they were free from the Professor's iron grips! Old excuses, such as inadequate gas supply, overgrown vegetation, vandalism, high vibration, high exhaust temperature, and so on, resurfaced!
The real challenge here is the sector's constant need for the "iron grip" of the Minister! Any performance that depends so helplessly on the presence of a strong character is not yet sustainable. Even if such a system is doing well (for example, with a Prof Nnaji) experience shows that it will only be a matter of time! The strong character will one day cease to be there, or even become overwhelmed by the enormous force of our national vices.
The only enduring solution is to explore ways of making the sector "self-propelling" - i.e. to start creating its own internal incentives for improvement, as well as automatic consequences for failure to improve! This is already happening in some other sectors of our economy! For example, we don't need any iron grip of a Minister to get improvements from our telecoms sector! The steady innovation we are seeing from Etisalat, MTN, and others, has nothing to do with the government! It is the sector itself that is driving its own improvement!
Some people may initially think that our power sector is different from (and should not be compared with) our telecoms sector; but that is not correct, because in terms of fundamental principles of reform, these sectors are not that different! What is required is some creative reform homework!
Private-sector involvement is a crucial component of the power-sector Roadmap. Government has already taken a decisive step in this direction, with the successful privatisation transactions of last year. We must however appreciate that handing over these assets to the private sector, does not, by itself, automatically guarantee private-sector performance! Additional steps are required to "factor in" the conditions that drive performance in the private sector - i.e. "market forces". It is "market forces" that make the private sector what it is, and differentiate it from the public sector. In a corrupt environment, private sector without market forces may become worse than the public sector!
Very significantly, we have not yet factored "market forces" anywhere in the sector's entire value chain! The electricity distribution companies (Discos) are now in private hands; but each of them will be a monopoly in its area; so there is really nothing to seriously force it to sit up. Similarly, the electricity generating companies (the gencos) will all have power-purchase guarantees, which (effectively) assure them that they will be paid for whatever power they are able to generate, even if that power cannot be evacuated! To complete the cycle, we can also note that the transmission segment is already a natural monopoly. Therefore, nothing is seriously forcing anybody in the sector to truly sit up - and this is a sector with a history of being rewarded for failure, and where corruption and political interference can be legendary!
In particular, with the sector's assets in the hands of a profit-minded private sector, the absence of the sanitising effect of "market forces" could make the job of the industry regulator (NERC) an outright nightmare! Where will NERC start from? Already in Okeafa district of Lagos state (within the Ikeja Zone), some consumers whose monthly bills used to be about N1,500, suddenly started receiving bills of over N6,000. This District, under pressure to account for the energy it receives, has found a clever way out: It simply subtracts the energy used by its metered consumers (from the total energy it receives) and divides the balance by the number of un-metered households, and the answer becomes the bill of each such household! It does not matter that much of the energy the district receives, gets dissipated as technical losses! It does not matter whether you occupy a room or a duplex, or that your transformer has been down for 3 weeks! What matters is that the district has managed to account for all the energy it receives! Of course, such a district is not in a hurry to distribute meters to consumers!

It has been a long time coming for the Starkville Yellowjackets.
The SHS track program has never before hosted a North State track meet, but that won't be the case after today when Classes 4A and 6A gather at the Spencer Stadium/Maddox Track facility at Mississippi State for competition.
The Jackets are glad to finally be able to say they are having a home meet, especially one as important as North State, in their own backyard.
"We've been going away so long," SHS sophomore sprinter Gabe Myles said. "Now we've got one at home and we've got our family here."
The possibility of MSU being the site of the North championships for 4A and 6A were discussed by J.Z. George coach Heath Dudley and his brother Steve, who happens to be the head coach of the Bulldogs.
"(Heath Dudley) was talking with his brother and was saying we are looking for a place to host the North State meet," SHS coach Chris Barnett said. "Normally, we go up to Tupelo and not that it's bad, but you have Mississippi State here willing to come in and say we'll run off that North State meet. They even wanted more classes, but we're going to have 4A and 6A now. They wanted as many classes as they could there because State wants to promote themselves plus it gave us a chance to promote our name."
Senior disc thrower Martavious Foster's mother has never seen him perform with the Jackets so he's looking forward to having her and other family members in the stands.
That's not the only reason Foster is anxious to have the meet in Starkville.
"We don't have to wake up at 5 in the morning to go up to Tupelo or something like that," Foster said.
Mississippi State has made improvements to its facility and has already hosted one high school event and three college events, including the SEC/Big 10 Challenge in March.
"(MSU's) brand new facility is second to none," Barnett said. "We're going to be the host school, but (MSU) is going to be handling most of the stuff because they are using their equipment."
Being able to compete on a nice surface will be nice for the participants, but the attraction for those who watch will be a talented group of athletes in several different events.
Barnett said there won't be a shortage of impressive entries in the mix.
"There will be 12 national elite first-team or second-team teams or individuals," Barnett said. "Everybody in the 4x200 from Tupelo, Southaven, Madison Central and us are all first-team or second-team National Elite 4x200 teams. There will also be three national elite disc throwers as well.
"Tupelo has a first-team National Elite, which means they are one of the top schools in the nation."
Competing for the Jackets will be the second-team United State Elite 4x200 relay team of Myles, sophomore Jacoby Smith, sophomore Devin Mitchell, and senior Julien Lewis. Foster is also a second-team U.S. Elite with a throw of 152-8 this season.
Smith also runs the open 400 meters and the 4x400 relay, while Mitchell and Myles participates on the 4x100 relay, and Lewis runs the 100 meters, an event he has already had a time of 10.82 this season, and the 4x100 and 4x200.
Kamau Bostic contributes in the 800-meter and 1,600-meter long distance runs and helps the 4x400 relay. Charles Hughes competes in 110-meter high hurdles and 300-meter intermediate hurdles.
Walker Mattox, an 8th-grade long distance specialist for the SHS girls, takes part in the 800-meter, 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter runs. She has a time of 11:57 in the 3,200-meter run this season.
Also running distance for the Lady Jackets is Mary Elizabeth Stringer in the 800 meters and 1,600 meters and Abigail Arinder in the 3,200 meters. Stringer is the region champion in the 800 meters. Joseph MacGown participates in the 3,200 meters for the SHS boys.
Jalan Catledge is the triple jump regional champion and he also runs the 400 meters and 4x400 relay, while Marcus Tate throws the shot put, and Stanley Childs leaps in the long jump and helps the 4x100 relay.
Since the Jackets are holding the meet in their town, they want to put on a show for the home crowd.
"We've got to prove to everybody we're the best and that's what we're striving to be," Mitchell said.
The action begins with the field events and the 3,200-meter run at 10 a.m. The other running events start at noon.
Admission will be $5 per person and concessions will be available. Barnett likes the fact there will be plenty of seating and hopes people will take advantage of watching what he calls "a huge event for Starkville High School."
"We are looking for all of the support in the community to come cheer on our boys and girls team," Barnett said. "Our boys team has a chance of winning a state title if everything falls into place (today). However, if our kids don't step up, we could just as easily fall out of the running. But that's why you compete."

Soccer and hockey are the spectator sports of Tamil Nadu

Sports –Tamil Nadu
Soccer and hockey are the spectator sports of Tamil Nadu but cricket continues to have a large and informed following. Chepauk cricket crowds still display a sensibility that may be found in
Venkataraghavan, VV Kumar, Belliappa and Prabhakar, Srikkanth are players of national stature, but Tamil Nadu will never go in for a relentlessly batting machine like Mumbai. The Tamils prefer subtleties and graces and would rather go for a risky late cut than a dead straight bat.
