Story and Photos by Dr. Gerald Schmidt
Some people just have strange interests. This winter break, I went to some of China's best-known tourist destinations: Hainan's Haikou and Sanya, Yunnan's Kunming, Lijiang, and Dali, and Guangxi's Guilin, Longji and Xingping. However, not much of my time was spent looking at the usual sites. Rather, I had my eyes on small fields, plants in the crags, and in the markets, hunting for signs of chile peppers.
Admittedly, finding chile peppers is not particularly difficult in much of China's cooking. Sometimes, it's rather the opposite: a dish like La Zi Ji—basically, spicy chicken—consists of chicken pieces hidden in a heap of sliced, fried chile peppers (see recipe below). Still, it is a hunt: the more ubiquitous to local cuisine that peppers are, the more difficult it becomes to find out specifics about them. Large fields looked nice, but could easily be grown from commercial seed stock. I was looking for landraces, varieties that are more specific to a locale, grown and re-grown from seed that the farmers themselves keep. These are the ones that tend to get lost when large-scale production for the market comes to dominate. When this happens, the work of generations of farmers growing and selecting plants to fit local conditions and local flavors disappears.
Stop 1: Hainan. There's a reason this popular tourist island is called "China's Hawaii." In Sanya, around Dadonghai Beach, it could just as well be called "Russia's Hawaii." I hadn't seen quite as many signs in Russian last year, when I lived in the (formerly Soviet) Latvia, in the Baltics. The beach was nice, though. Anyway, no chiles there, except in restaurants. The simple reason for that, though, is that Sichuan cuisine can be found anywhere in China—famously rich in peppers, whether it be the spicy chicken mentioned above or just a dish of cabbage interspersed with whole small chiles. The aim of Sichuan cuisine is not to blow the eater away, and if it is from a decent cook, there are different levels and kinds of pungency. Wuzhishan, a smaller town in the mountainous part of Hainan's interior, was a disappointment, as I walked over fields and saw no peppers.
Haikou, the provincial capital, provided the rescue. The hostel was not really close to the sea, and the sea was not Sanya's polished beach. There was also a sign advising not to go swimming (which Chinese people don't often do, anyway). It was close to a local market, though. A saving grace: some peppers could be found there. Interestingly, quite a few were obviously Capsicum frutescens, like Tabasco peppers, but were mainly sold in their not-quite-ripe, green-orange state. Usually, peppers are sold either ripe—red or unripe—green, and those are other, larger kinds. The real surprise came as I departed: Hainan habanero chiles were for sale in the airport shop. Oops, so Hainan is where China's habanero is grown? Admittedly, that's a more recent import—or actually, a chile pepper grown for export, because worldwide demand for habanero is rising and Mexico can't keep up.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Monday criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the extension of its membership registration, saying it was a sign that Nigerians had rejected the opposition party.
The APC, which had accused the PDP of trying to sabotage its membership drive, had on Sunday extended the exercise, initially billed to end yesterday, by two days to enable those who have not registered to do so.
But the ruling party derided the APC's action and commended Nigerians for shunning the membership registration, prompting the opposition party to extend the exercise.
The APC also got more knocks from former Kano State Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau and former Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, who described the party as a fraud. In its criticism of the extension of the APC's membership registration, the PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said the development had shown that Nigerians were not fooled by attempts by the opposition party to hoodwink them, undermine the electoral process and coax unsuspecting Nigerians to register as members by portraying the exercise as voter registration, being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) .
The party said: "This is the first sign of rejection for the boastful APC. It is a clear indication that the party is neither on ground nor does it command the followership its claims. They have now seen that true membership and public support are not secured through media hype and propaganda.
"It beats imagination that the APC is making a mountain out of a molehill over ordinary membership registration. Besides our great party, other opposition political parties have hitherto successfully conducted the same exercise without overheating the polity as the APC unnecessarily does at the moment."
Accusing the APC of constituting nuisance in the political landscape, the PDP advised it to learn to be more humble, adding that arrogance and pride could cause the party's defeat in the general election.
The opposition party also came under fire yesterday from Shekarau and Bafarawa, who recently defected from the party to the PDP. They described APC as a political fraud because it has no constitution and manifesto.
Shekarau, at his formal declaration for PDP in Abuja, said: "There is no substantive leadership of APC nationwide. There is nothing like executive committee in the APC at any level. We challenged the leadership of the APC to show the constitution of the party; it is a secret document, it is not on the streets. We challenge the APC to disclose openly the manifesto of the party; it is not on the streets. Why are they not rolling out the programmes for election of officers of the party? It (APC) is a political fraud and we will not be part of it.
"There is nowhere in the constitution of the APC where it is said that xyz are the leaders of the party. Some people want to pocket the party and that is why the constitution of the party is not on the streets of the country.
"Some people up there do not want the people to own the APC. We realised that the vision was no longer there. The soul of APC is lost and cannot be found. Meetings are not held regularly. The only meeting of the leadership was held only because of the Anambra governorship election.
"There is chaos in APC and these are the issues we raised and challenged . We spoke out. We wrote petitions and all that, but there was no response. We felt bad and then decided to move. Bafarawa, who spoke in the same manner, said the APC constitution was doctored.
"The APC constitution was drafted in my house and the only positions we had were the women and youth leaders. Yet, some people were going around to negotiate and asked people to join APC as leaders of the party.
"We are in PDP and we did not join because of any position or contract; we joined because of our people and love for the country," he said.
He also debunked claims that they joined the PDP because of their presidential ambitions. "Whoever emerges in 2015, it means that Shekarau and I will support the person. We did not join because of any personal ambition. Far from it. It is only God that gives power and He will take it always anytime," he added.
Former legal adviser to APC chieftain, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari, Chief Mike Ahamba who chaired the occasion, said he would declare for the PDP on February 22 in Owerri. "I'm leaving the APC because they are standing for everything that I don't stand for," he said. Also, a former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governorship candidate in Kwara State, Dele Belgore, it was learnt, would declare for the PDP tomorrow.

I'm currently upgrade my Windows Phone 7.5 to Windows Phone 8. I tried to added the telerik phone controls in VS2012. However I get the response that "The following controls were successfully added to the toolbox but are not enabled in the active designer". How do I make them active?
Posted 12 Dec 2012

Hi Tom,
Could you please take a look at this article:
...and let me know if it helps. Also, I'd suggest you take a look at the comments.
Hi Kiril,
Thanks for the link. I should have stated in my previous post that I have added the controls manually to the toolbox. The problem is the controls do not show up in the toolbox. The Telerik references are available within the project because I'm using the Telerik RadTextBox and RadHubTitle. I'm wondering if this is an issue upgrading a project from VS2010 to VS2012?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for writing.
I have tried to reproduce the issue by creating a Windows Phone 7.5 project and adding the Telerik tools to the Toolbox, upgrading it to a Windows Phone 8 project and re-adding the Telerik tools to the Toolbox without experiencing any issues.
The exact steps are:
1. Create a Windows Phone 7.5 project and add the Telerik controls from the Primitives assembly to the Toolbox.
2. Upgrade the project to Windows Phone 8
3. Remove the old Telerik references and reset the Toolbox.
4. Add new items to the toolbox from the Primitives assembly by following the same routine as before.
Can you please share details about your approach? Having the exact steps that you're taking will be helpful in determining the reason for the behavior.
All the best,
the Telerik team
Posted 08 Jan 2013

This issue goes beyond Telerik.
The problem with the "solution" stated by Telerik is that, all previous additions to the Toolbox that may have been added indirectly by some process will disappear when the toolbox is reset. Thus, all the previous work will need to be redone.
a methodology for making "Inactive Controls" in the toolbox "Active" is a better solution.

Tackling Public Health, Self-Image, & Girl Power in One Art Project
By Sara Bliss, Yahoo! News, January 9, 2015
Australian artist Deborah Kelly frequently explores issues of race, gender, and religion. Most recently, she was one of 30 artists commissioned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to spotlight the topic of vaccinations around the globe for The Art of Saving a Life. She collaborated with 12-year-old girls, newly of age to receive the HPV vaccine that prevents cervical cancer. "It seems to me that the HPV vaccine treasures young females and their futures, so I wanted the works to reflect a little light from the girls' hearts and hopefulness," says Kelly. The result sends an empowering message about public health and self-esteem for young women.
'Religion and Health Cannot Be Treated as Entirely Separate Issues'
Ebola Deeply, January 6, 2015
Sheikh A.B. Conteh is the president of Sierra Leone's Inter-Religious Council and a chief imam in Freetown. Ebola Deeply spoke with him about changing burial practices, national collaboration and religion's wider role in the Ebola response.
Ebola Deeply: How has the Inter-Religious Council responded to the Ebola outbreak so far?
Conteh: When the epidemic began to spread in Sierra Leone, the Inter-Religious Council joined with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation to share the message that Ebola is real and that we, as a country, have Ebola. We launched social mobilization exercises designed to reach our people.
How having faith makes you fat: Religious people are 'more likely to be overweight compared with those who are atheist' -
By Dan Bloom, MailOnline, December 23, 2014
Britain's about to gorge itself on turkey, sausages and cheese – but it seems our religious feasts carry a hefty price.
People of faith are more likely to be obese than the godless, a study has found. And with all their hot cross buns and chocolate advent calendars, Christians are the worst offenders of all.
A university researcher examined the body mass indexes (BMIs) of more than 7,000 people, and found those of believers were almost a point higher than those of atheists.
Religious organizations in the public health paradigm
By Ellen Idler, OUP blog,
If you think about big public health challenges of our day — the Ebola virus in Africa, the rising rates of suicide among the middle-aged in the United States, the HIV epidemic everywhere — religions are playing a role. When I speak, I ask audiences, "What was the first thing you heard about the Ebola crisis?", and they always say "The missionaries who got it were taken to Emory." "That makes my point," I say. "You didn't know anything about it up until that moment, but they did." Those missionaries, and the faith-based organizations they worked for (Samaritan's Purse and Serving in Mission) were already there on the ground along with other faith-based organizations, volunteering their time, putting their lives in danger, and providing valuable resources of equipment, supplies, and knowledgeable helping hands to try to contain the outbreak.

Traditional Indian head massage is different from the now practiced massage in West. However, both styles of massage are equally effective for the society in which they are applied.
The problem is you don't have time for it.
Guess what … you are not alone. It's the problem of our modern world. We have less time for head massage and our self care and the implications are huge for our well-being.
We will find the answers comparing the traditions in India and West.
Head massage traditions in India
For an Indian woman her hair is her best decoration, so they spend much time ensuring that their hair is long and good-looking, which is so highly appreciated.
Life in India is not as fast passed as in West, so women have the opportunity to spend a few hours a week on beauty rituals and head massages. This is part of their cultural life.
Besides that personal hair care at home or outside of it is a good opportunity for girls and neighbors gather to discuss their latest news.
Even when the pace of life accelerates people will still make time for massage, because its therapeutic effects are so great.

It was not so long ago when in West the process of head wash and other self care procedures took a lot of time every week. But the pace of the modern life has increased and it requires that self care procedures took less time and still have maximum effect.
What happened next?
Fast showers, hair dryers and such cosmetic products like the "two in one" shampoos are precisely calculated to satisfy our needs. We have adopted the "wash and go" principle, which means that negligence in regard to self-care has won.
It's time to rethink our values
The more we focus on speed and convenience in regards to self care, the more our natural need for touch remains unsatisfied.
We are forced to do things on the run, and we can't enjoy the real quality of life. Stressful situation are in abundance in spite of our financial well-being, and sometimes we feel a strange emptiness.
That's why many people are trying to find a way to reveal their own inner world and live a balanced and joyful life. There is a growing interest in holistic therapies, which take into account the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of an individual, not forgetting about the physical body.
Indian head massage is one of these methods.
Treatment for the modern world
Indian head massage is now gradually ceased to be an alternative or an experimental therapy and finds more and more recognition in the modern era. Many hairdressing are now offering head massage to their customers as an additional service, though adapted to the restrictions of our modern culture.
Our work and life style has gradually changed and physical activity has given way to a sedentary lifestyle. Every day we face a huge amount of information we need to assimilate. We live a heavily intense mental life.
What does that all mean for us? We feel uncomfortable, we suffer from mental overload, and lack of activity in our body builds up tension.
Despite its name head massage also involves massaging the upper back, shoulders and neck. These are the main areas where stress is accumulating.
In contrast to traditional Indian head massage where essential oils are applied on the scalp, regular head massage is done on a dry scalp, although the use of oils is not forbidden. One of the advantages of this type of massage is that there is no need to remove clothing. Therefore, it can be done anywhere – at home and at work.
Don't forget the spiritual roots of a scalp massage – it doesn't just remove the physical strain, but also soothes the soul and helps to balance the body's bio-energy.

Aeroplane Model - Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Reg. No: ST 023555
- Summary:
- This 1:32 scale model of an A6M3 carries the markings of an aircraft found damaged at Buna, New Guinea by Australian troops in January 1943 following the Japanese defeat at Buna-Gona. It had been flown by IJN Air Group 582. The Japanese characters on the fuselage indicate it was a presentation aircraft paid for by subscription. The red circles or hinomaru were the standard Japanese national identification markings carried by army and navy aircraft. The wrecks of several A6M3 Zeros found at Buna were combined and a complete example was later flown at Brisbane. This model was purchased by the Museum in 1953 from Mr R.D Ramsay.

GRANTSVILLE — — Bryant Bunch, who came from Prince George's County to attend college here at the far end of the Maryland panhandle, first saw the sign on Interstate 68 while traveling with a carload of friends a few years back.
He remembers their reaction: Does that say what we think it says?
Maxine Broadwater, born and raised on a farm outside Grantsville, and the town's librarian for three decades, recalls the first time she ever gave the name a second thought. It was the early 1990s, and people passing through had stopped at her library to ask about it.

Recipe by Suzanne
"This chocolate chip has white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. It will become your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe yet!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
butter flavored shortening
3/4 cup
white sugar
3/4 cup
packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup
white chocolate chips
The picture of the cookies for the recipe is the ones that I made.. they are really good! I have made so many types of chocolate chip cookies.. I couldn't possibly count. This is a very good recipe. I altered it a bit... here are my changes:
3/4 Butter, 1/2 White sugar, 3/4 lightly packed brown sugar, 1 Tbsp Vanilla and 2-1/2 Cups flour.
I baked the cookies in a 350 oven for about 9-11 minutes.. depending on the size. REMEMBER.. if your cookies are flattening.. they need more flour.
Whenever I make cookies.. I make 4 on a pan for the first bake time.. that way I can adjust the recipe if needed! Enjoy and thanks for the recipe!
Following other reviewers' recommendations, I used 1/2 c butter flavored shortening and 1/2 c unsalted butter. I also lessened the sugars to 1/4 c white and 1/2 c brown. It was okay!

These cookies are fantastic... when made right. For other cookie novices out there, here's what I learned!
1) Oxided butter tastes bad. If it's badly yellowed on the outside, don't use it or your dough will taste bad.
2)The best tasting white chocolate chips contain cocoa butter and are really hard to find.
3)Cheap blenders overheat easily and metal silverware spoons bend easily.
4)You don't need to flatten the dough valls to get them to bake evenly -- if you roll the dough into balls or drop as rounded shapes, the cookies come out puffier and flatten less.
5)Undercooked cookies are as bad as overcooked cookies. Wait until you see the tops just starting to brown before taking the sheet out of the oven (9.5 minutes for me!).
6)Air bake, non-stick cookie sheets are worth the money - convenient and no burnt cookie bottoms.
I use this recipe as a base for what have become my favorite cookies! I've changed just a few things, because I still never use shortening at home :)... 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup vegetable oil (yep, I always try to cut on the fat!). And I also add 1/4 flour and 1/2 cup macaroon coconut to improve the consistency to my taste... I LOVE THEM!!
best cookies ever!..that was my kids, and I've made lots of good cookies!! I changed things a bit according to the ingredients I had on hand..I used 1/2 cup of shortening and 1/2 cup of marj, I used butterscoth chips instead of the white chocolate chips and I threw in 1/2 cup of walnuts and 1 cup of rice krispies. The result was out of this world!! The basic dough recipe is perfect...exactly the right amount of crunch and chewyness.
WOW.. these are really great! Will have to make another batch before the kids come home. Read the reviews, and followed recipe as written. Big,firm cookies, chewy on the inside. Will make again.
This is BY FAR the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried!!! It even tops my sister's 'Secret Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe'! I only used chocolate chips because I didn't have any other chips on hand, and I actually forgot to add the salt and added a smidgen more vanilla, but they turned out *divine*...even the smell as they were baking was heavenly! Love it!
This cookie was very good! My daughter made them the very first time and I thought that she was a very good cook. But when she told me that she got the recipe off of allrecipes.com then I knew that it was a Very good recipe..and she was a very good cook! The one thing I found abou the cookies though, was that they spread out on the pan. I used only dark Chocolate Chips though. It was very good!!Thanks!! :D

BlueLghtning, Thanks for all your help, this really makes sense now, you could have just posted "go search the forum", (I have, but sometimes it seems like you read 40 posts that are not relevant for every 1 that is) but taking the time to explain this to a total new person to GPS, is really appreciated.
I bought the unit new, from amazon, and it came with the waypoint manager cd, not the navigator. At first I couldn't understand why, but now I think its because they probably sell these to a lot of boat users that wouldnt need the navigator software.
Thanks Again, and Thanks for the TAT specific tips, They will definitely help me. I purchased the maps July 16th, but not received an email or anything to confirn, I sent a follow up email but have not heard back.

As if Tiki Barber hadn't already taken a deep enough plunge from grace, now he's comparing himself to Anne Frank. Via ESPNNewYork.com:
The former New York Giants running back has been criticized in local media for making the analogy during an interview in this week's Sports Illustrated. At one point in the article, Barber describes going into hiding with his girlfriend after his well-publicized breakup with his then-pregnant wife. Barber and his girlfriend ended up in the attic of the home of the player's agent, Mark Lepselter.
"Lep's Jewish," Barber told Sports Illustrated. "And it was like a reverse Anne Frank thing."
Lepselter came to his client's defense Thursday.
"In a world where nothing surprises me, where things get completely blown out of proportion, this only adds to the list," Lepselter told ESPNNewYork.com. "All Tiki was saying to Jon was he was shedding light on going back to that time when he was literally trapped, so to speak, in my attic for a week. Nothing more, nothing less.
"Let me remind all those who want to make this more than it is: Tiki was a guest of [president] Shimon Peres in Israel five years ago."
Yeah, and I bet some of Tiki's best friends—and business partners—are Jewish.
Maybe the comment is being "blown out of proportion"—what in sports news isn't?—but for a guy who left football because he thought he'd make an awesome broadcaster, Tiki really needs to watch his words.

Wire are an English rock band formed in London in October 1976, (and intermittently active to the present) by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), and Robert Gotobed (né Grey) (drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on the Live at the Roxy WC2 album - a key early document of the scene, and were later central to the development of post-punk.
Wire are arguably a definitive art punk or post-punk ensemble, mostly due to their richly detailed and atmospheric sound, often obscure lyrical themes and, to a lesser extent, their Situationist political stance. The group exhibited a steady development from an early raucous style (1977's Pink Flag) to a more complex, structured sound involving increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers (1978's Chairs Missing and 1979's 154).
The band gained a reputation for experimenting with song arrangements throughout their career. Following their reformation in 1986, The Ex-Lion Tamers (a Wire cover band, named after a song title from Pink Flag) were their opening act. The cover band played Wire's older material, while Wire themselves played only new material on that tour.
Chairs Missing followed in 1978, and found Wire stepping back a bit from the stark minimalism of Pink Flag, with longer, more atmospheric songs and synthesizer parts by producer Mike Thorne.
The experimentation was even more prominent on 154 (1979). Many of the songs had bassist Graham Lewis on lead vocals.
In 1979, creative differences pulled the band in various directions, culminating in the Document and Eyewitness LP (1981), a recording of a performance that featured almost exclusively new material. The LP came packaged with an EP of a different performance that was also new material. Some of this material ended up being included on Colin Newman's post-Wire solo albums.
There followed a period of suspension (1981-1985) in favour of solo and non-Wire collaborative projects, including Dome, Cupol, Duet Emmo, and several Colin Newman solo efforts. In 1985, the group reformed. Reforming as a "beat combo" (a joking reference to early 60's beat music or even possibly beatniks), the group became increasingly immersed in electronics. The band released It's Beginning To And Back Again, in 1989 as a "live" album of mostly reworked versions of songs from The Ideal Copy and A Bell Is a Cup...Until It Is Struck. IBTABA was based on live recordings, heavily re-arranged, edited and remixed in the studio. One of the few new songs on the album, "Eardrum Buzz", became the band's biggest charting single.
The increased use of electronics on the album Manscape caused Gotobed to fire himself in 1990 when he realised a drummer was unnecessary, even at live gigs. In response to his departure, Wire dropped one letter in their name to become "Wir" (still pronounced "wire"). Wir released The First Letter in 1991, which received a mixed reception, but whose electronics-heavy sound was arguably ahead of its time. Afterwards, the occasional collaborative effort punctuated a further period of solo recordings, during which Newman founded the Swim ~ label and latterly Githead with his wife (ex-Minimal Compact bassist Malka Spigel), but not until 1999 did Wire once again become a full-time entity.
With Gotobed back in the line-up (now using his birth name, Robert Grey), the group initially reworked a substantial chunk of its back catalogue for a performance at Royal Festival Hall. Great receptions during a short tour of the U.S. and a number of UK gigs convinced the band to continue. Two EPs and an album Send (2003) followed, as well as live collaborations with stage designer Es Devlin and artists Jake and Dinos Chapman.
2006 saw the re-release of Wire's 1970s albums returned to their original vinyl tracklistings. Rumours abounded of a renewal of activity to mark the 30th anniversary of the band's debut as a 4 piece & the release of Pink Flag in 2007. A third Read & Burn EP was released in November, 2007.
A full length album of new material entitled "Object 47" was released in July 2008. It appears that Bruce Gilbert was not involved in this recording (although, according to Colin Newman, he did feature in a minimal capacity on the third Read and Burn EP, despite having left in 2004) and, judging by recent photographs (April 2008) at the band's website, and a mailing list email sent to fans, is certainly not part of the band touring from April through to July 2008.
Wire have announced they are headlining London's Offset Festival with fellow post-punk legends Gang of Four this August. Link Laika's Margaret Fiedler McGinnis has joined Wire on guitar for their 2008 live appearances, although it is reported that ex Band of Susans and Helmet guitarist Page Hamilton is to join the band for future studio work.
Wire were influential on hardcore punk. Fans included Ian MacKaye of the hardcore punk band Minor Threat and Henry Rollins, formerly of Black Flag. Minor Threat covered "1 2 X U" for the Dischord Records compilation Flex Your Head and Henry Rollins, as Henrietta Collins & The Wife-Beating Childhaters, covered "Ex-Lion Tamer" on the E.P. Drive by Shooting. Michael Azerrad reports, in Our Band Could Be Your Life, that at Minor Threat's second gig, each of the seven bands on the roster performed their version of a Wire song. Big Black covered Wire's "Heartbeat" twice, once as a studio version which was released as a single (also included on The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape compilation), and also as a live version featuring Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis that was included on the VHS version of their live album Pigpile.
Wire influenced the Britpop movement; a plagiarism case between Wire's music publisher and Elastica, over the similarity between Wire's 1977 song "Three Girl Rhumba" and Elastica's 1995 hit "Connection", resulted in an out-of-court settlement. The rateyourmusic website's popularity rated Wire's albums, as of August 2007 - Pink Flag #4 for 1977, #185 overall - Chairs Missing #3 for 1978, #173 overall - 154 #13 for 1979, #579 overall - Read & Burn 01 #6 for 2002, #159 overall and Read & Burn 02 only available at live shows in 2002 and via mail order #17 for 2002, #378 overall.

Smuggled home video of Cuba's Raul Castro reveals the murderous dictator's hidden side
Everyone knows Cuban dictator Raul Castro is a brutally repressive tyrant who violently oppresses the Cuban people and wantonly murders those who oppose him. However, what most people don't know about the ruthless dictator is that he has a hidden sensitive and artistic side, which some prefer to describe as effeminate, despite the term's politically incorrect connotation.
Nevertheless, regardless of the terms used to describe Raul Castro's hidden side, a private home video apparently taken at the Castro family compound has been smuggled out of Cuba and it shows Fidel's little brother throwing caution to the wind and exposing his inner artistic passion -- a side of him that few, if any outside the family have ever seen.

A king had a beautiful wife, Silver-Tree, and an even more beautiful daughter, named Gold-Tree. One day the couple walked by a pond, and Silver-Tree asked a trout if she was the most beautiful queen in the world, whereupon the trout said that although Silver-Tree was fair in her own right, Gold-Tree was still a hundred times more beautiful. Enraged and jealous, Silver-Tree took to her bed and declared she would never be content unless she had Gold-Tree killed and consumed her heart and liver. Horrified, the King contacted a neighboring king's son who had asked to marry Gold-Tree. Desperate to protect his beloved daughter, her father agreed and sent them off; then he gave his wife the heart and liver of a he-goat, at which she believed her daughter to be dead and her jealously was laid to rest for some time.
Silver-Tree went back to the trout, which told her Gold-Tree was still more beautiful, and living abroad with a handsome prince. The scheming Silver-Tree begged a ship of her husband to visit her daughter. The prince was away hunting; Gold-Tree was terrified at the sight of the ship, as she recognised the ship's flag and knew it was her jealous mother. The servants locked her away in a room so she could tell her mother she could not come out. Silver-Tree persuaded her to put her little finger through the keyhole, so she could kiss it, and when Gold-Tree did, Silver-Tree stuck a poisoned thorn into it.
When the prince returned, he was grief-stricken and could not persuade himself to bury Gold-Tree, because she was so beautiful, even in death. He kept her body in a secret room. Having married for a second time, he would not let his new wife into the room. His new bride was puzzled at why her husband was constantly morose and despondant. She knew it had something to do with the secret he kept locked in the bedchamber in the tallest tower of the palace. One day, he forgot to hide the key as he usually did, and the new wife went in. There she found the body of Gold-Tree, who surpassed the second queen greatly in beauty, although she was not jealous. She tried to wake Gold-Tree, and found the thorn in her finger. Pulling it out, she revived Gold-Tree. Because of the wakened one's identity, she offered to leave; but their husband refused to allow it.
Silver-Tree went back to the trout, who told her what had happened. Furious, Silver-Tree took the ship again. The prince was hunting again, but the second wife said that the two of them must meet her. Silver-Tree offered a poisoned drink. The second wife said that it was the custom in their land that the person who offered the drink drank of it first. Silver-Tree put the drink to her mouth, and the second wife struck her arm so that some went into her throat. She fell down dead.
The prince, Gold-Tree, and the second wife lived happily thereafter.

Lilly Graduate Fellows Program
The Lilly Fellows Program is offering 16 fellowships of $3000 per year for three years for those considering a career teaching at religiously-affiliated colleges and universities. Those selected will comprise a cohort that will attend four national conferences over three years at Lilly's expense. Lilly Graduate Fellows and their mentors will also participate in a distance colloquium that involves group readings and discussions over the course of the three year program. This colloquium requires an average time commitment of 2-3 hours per week.

2013 Sam and Marilyn Fox Atlas Week Program
Advocacy in a Globalized World: From the Classroom to the Frontline
April 8 - 12, 2013
The 2013 Sam and Marilyn Fox Atlas Week program will be held the week of April 8 - 12. One of the main goals of the Atlas Program is to increase awareness of the global issues that confront us today in an effort not only to promote discussion, but also to inspire and inform action. It focuses on what we as global citizens can do to contribute to a better life for all people now and in the future. The Atlas Program is unique in that for one week of the year, it brings together members of the University community to focus on the global challenges that confront us in the 21st century.
The theme for the 2013 Atlas Program is "Advocacy in a Globalized World: From the Classroom to the Frontline". The Atlas Planning Committee is pleased to announce that John Prendergast will deliver the keynote address at the Atlas Week Signature Symposium on Thursday, April 11 at 5:30 p.m. in the Wool Ballrooms of the Busch Student Center. He will serve as a visiting peace practioner for two days at SLU (April 10th and 11th) and participate in several other organized events.
John Prendergast is a human rights activist and best-selling author who has worked for peace in Africa for over 25 years. He is the co-founder of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide and crimes against humanity affiliated with the Center for American Progress. During the Clinton administration, John was involved in a number of peace processes in Africa while he was the Director of African Affairs at the National Security Council and Special Advisor to Susan Rice at the Department of State. John has also worked for two members of Congress, UNICEF, Human Rights Watch, the International Crisis Group, and the U.S. Institute of Peace. He has been a Big Brother for over 25 years, as well as a youth counselor and a basketball coach.
John is the author or co-author of ten books. His newest book, Unlikely Brothers, released in May 2011, is a dual memoir co-authored with his first little brother in the Big Brother program. His previous two books were co-authored with Don Cheadle: Not On Our Watch, a New York Times bestseller and NAACP non-fiction book of the year, and The Enough Moment: Fighting to End Africa's Worst Human Rights Crimes , which focuses on building a popular movement against genocide and other human rights crimes..
Under the Enough Project umbrella, John has helped create a number of initiatives and campaigns. With George Clooney, he helped launch the Satellite Sentinel Project, which aims to prevent conflict and human rights abuses through satellite imagery. With Tracy McGrady and other NBA stars, John co-founded the Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program to fund schools in Darfurian refugee camps and create partnerships with schools in the United States. He helped launch two campaigns under Enough: the Raise Hope for Congo Campaign, highlighting the issue of conflict minerals that fuel the war there, and Sudan Now, focused on bringing peace to that embattled country. John is a board member and serves as Strategic Advisor to Not On Our Watch, the organization founded by George Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Brad Pitt.
We welcome and encourage all faculty, staff, and students to participate in the program and share their international knowledge, scholarship, and service with the wider university community. Past events have included special lectures, roundtable discussions, open classes, international films, cultural performances, and special exhibits. The Atlas Planning Committee will begin accepting submissions shortly with information on the submission process to follow.
Atlas Week will open with an Interfaith Prayer Service on Monday, April 8th in St. Francis Xavier College Church. The program will conclude on Friday, April 12th with the Parade of Nations and the Billiken World Festival.

Hi, I'm From Indonesia. i want to asked something about shapekey. In your introduce about Shape Key, you try to duplicate head object to another way to making expresion or to modif a head. when we try to duplicate head object, can a head duplicate become monster or wolfman head?. Maybe the wolfman need adding vertex or plane.
That is posible in shapekey blender or just the same vertex value can modif in shape key?

I have a question. Say I may a shapekey to help the deformation of an arm if I move it up, and then another shape kep for when I move the arm sideways. If I then move the arm at an angle in between the positions will both shapekeys go into affect or will they just ignore my movements unless I'm moving the arm along the correct axis?
Posts: 4218Jonathan Williamson says:
That'll all depend on how you setup the drivers. Generally shape keys are driving by specific transformations in the rig. For example, you might set a key to activate if you rotate the arm bone around the local x axis.
So assuming this is the way you set it up, and the bone transform is working on both axis' then yes, it would partially activate both shape keys.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear, and thanks for the quick reply.
I was afraid that if I did the shape key for an arm, I'd have to redo it a bunch for each angle I was trying to make the arm bend. Shape keys are waaaaay more handy than I thought lol. Love your tutorials by the way. Been following for a while and I've been making models I'm actually happy with. though not sure if I can post them here since they are based off of game characters.

Hello again, I have another question that's been bugging me.
I'm working on a model with eyes that aren't exactly human shape. they're more cartoony so when I'm doing a shapekey for the eyelids, they end up sliding THROUGH the eyes before resting in the opened position when I have them closed.
Now i figured I might just be able to make several shapekeys and then make a final one that was a blend of of everything mixed in bu it doesn't seem to be working.
Do you hve any suggestions?

That button: allows you to "scrub through the shape key slider while in edit mode" according to kent trammel's cloth sim tut (on blender cookie.)

Love this site, really huge fan.
I got a good genuine laugh though at how animated (unintended but unavoidable pun) your voice got when you were messing with the brow.
Thanks for teaching the community so much.

Posts: 2gaia clary says:
You asked why the "display shape key in edit mode has no effect" around minute 4:20
I could not see this been answered here (maybe i overlooked it).
Anyways the answer is: You need to UNPIN in order to see the actual shape

you can have duplicates.
so everyone can be 1 for example.
help me understand this sentence: "Each person receives an anonymous list of 99 numbers representing everyone else's numbers but not her own."
it reads to me, that a person would have a list of numbers that excludes the number they have.
Let's look at a smaller problem with 10 people and integers between 1 and 10 inclusive. Suppose the 10 numbers given out were 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 8, and 10.
Further suppose that Mary has been assigned the number 2 (not known to her, of course). Then Mary would be given the list 1, 2, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 8, and 10. One of the 2s would be
missing -- one that represents what she has been assigned. This is the intent of that sentence.

Click here for the BLADE 350 QX Parts ListingThis item does NOT include a transmitter.Requires new version of DX5e with 3 position 5 channel switch (DX6 or higher will also work fine)You are invited to join Blade 350 QX Owners Page
This Blade 350 QX has been updated with Firmware 2.0 to provide the best experience.
New Start ProcedureThere are now two options to start the motors:
New Flight Mode Configuration
New Compass and GPS Error DetectionThe Firmware 2.0 update prevents GPS and compass errors from causing adverse flight conditions. The status LED blinks orange if the compass senses a magnet or metal object nearby.
New ChargerThis version comes with a new 12V DC accessory charger that plugs into a 12V auxiliary power port, like the one found in your car. This charger functions exactly the same as the original charger but has a 12V DC accessory power connector instead of DC alligator clips.
you are in search of the most intelligent and dynamic quadcopter on the
market today, the BLADE Quadcopter with GPS and SAFE Technology is just
what you are looking for! This quadcopter boasts a score of amazing
features that make it extremely enjoyable and easy to control.
of the spectacular aspects of the Quadcopter BLADE are: smart mode,
stability mode, agility mode, GPS and Alitmeter Technology, the return
home feature, and its compatibility with GoPro cameras. All of these
features combine to make a GPS quadcopter that is a dream come true for
RC hobbyists.
It can hover with minimal movement, perform
infinite acrobatic maneuvers without sacrificing stability, take aerial
footage with amazing stability, and can return to where its journey
began with just the flip of a switch. The BLADE 530s smoothness and the
amount of control felt while operating it cannot be overstated you

While in Smart Mode, SAFE technology engages the innovative SAFE
Circle which prevents the 350 QX from flying too close to its pilot.
When in a hover, GPS and altimeter sensors keep the quadcopter in a
consistent stable position. The Stick Relativity feature allows the 350
QX to follow the directional inputs from a pilot regardless of the
orientation of the quadcopter.
In Stability Mode, SAFE technology limits the flight envelope of
the 350 QX and enables self-leveling characteristics for consistent
level flight even when pilot input is abruptly removed from the control
sticks. GPS Position Hold can be enabled or disabled by a pilot while
in Stability mode.
The 350 QX utilizes AS3X flight characteristics to deliver a
robust flight experience. While flying in Agility Mode, the 350 QX can
perform aerobatic maneuvers with extreme stability thanks to SAFE
GPS and altimeter sensors in the 350 QX provide the ability to
remain in a specific position for stable aerial footage and peace of

input from the pilot, the 350 QX will automatically return home to where
its motors were started.

The solo project from Berkeley student Anthony Ferraro, Astronauts, etc. is influenced by the likes of Bon Iver and The Antlers. I don't know about you, but Ferraro has definitely caught my attention with his falsetto on this spacious, delicate tune.
"Mystery Colors" is the first release from Astronauts, etc.'s debut EP, Supermelodic Pulp, due out on September 8. Be sure to support good music and check out the official video for "Mystery Colors" below.
