WASHINGTON, March 12 — Facing a rebellion from some crucial Republicans, Senator Edward M. Kennedy has abandoned efforts to produce a new immigration bill and is proposing using legislation produced last March by the Senate Judiciary Committee, then controlled by Republicans, as the starting point for negotiations this year, lawmakers said Monday.
Mr. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who is a principal architect of immigration legislation in the Senate, now controlled by Democrats, said he was shifting gears in hopes of winning Republican support and speeding the passage of immigration legislation this spring. Four of 10 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted last year for the committee's bill, which would tighten border security, create a temporary worker program and legalize illegal immigrants.
President Bush said Monday in Guatemala that he hoped to see an immigration bill completed by the fall and that he was working with Republicans to define a position most could support. "If we don't have enough consensus," Mr. Bush said, "nothing is going to move out of the Senate."
Mr. Kennedy and a Republican colleague, Senator John McCain of Arizona, had spent several months trying to produce a new immigration bill that was expected to be introduced this month. But several Republicans protested that they had been shut out of the negotiations. They began drafting their own bill, led by Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the Republican moderate who led the debate on immigration in the Judiciary Committee last year.
Meanwhile, Mr. McCain, who led Republican lawmakers in championing immigration legislation last year, has appeared to be backing away from that role, several Congressional aides said.Continue reading the main story
Conservatives have sharply criticized Mr. McCain, a leading Republican presidential candidate, for supporting efforts to put illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
Senior aides in both parties said Mr. McCain told several colleagues last week that he was stepping away from the bill because he was troubled by labor provisions it included. Eileen McMenamin, a spokeswoman for Mr. McCain, disputed that assertion, saying he "remains committed to passing a comprehensive immigration bill."
Mr. Kennedy said that he hoped Mr. McCain would continue to be deeply involved in the push for immigration legislation but that he would "certainly understand" if he could not be, given the demands of the presidential campaign.
"We will value as much time and effort and energy as he can put into this," Mr. Kennedy said in an interview. "I recognize that he's a presidential candidate and that's going to take a big part of his time."
Mr. Kennedy dismissed the notion that his efforts to produce a new immigration bill had failed. He said he had decided that the committee report was "the best starting point" because it had bipartisan support and because it would allow lawmakers to move swiftly toward passage, with a vote as early as May.
"We've had extensive hearings on the essential aspects of this bill," Mr. Kennedy said. "We are effectively ready for markup and going to the floor."
Mr. Specter, who said Mr. Kennedy first suggested the new approach on the Senate floor on Friday, said he was still weighing whether to support it. He said he and several Republican lawmakers had met with White House officials when it became clear they would not be included in the negotiations between Mr. Kennedy and Mr. McCain.
"We've gotten fairly far along on the outlines of a bill," said Mr. Specter. "Nonetheless, I think it is desirable to work jointly with the Democrats."
Mr. Specter said he would consult with his Republican colleagues and White House officials before deciding. The bill passed by the Judiciary Committee did not include several measures included in last year's Senate legislation, including a provision to compel several million illegal immigrants to leave the United States before applying for citizenship.
Mr. McCain declined a request for an interview, but Ms. McMenamin said he supported Mr. Kennedy's approach. "The most important thing is that they come to some sort of consensus on immigration reform," she said. "This is a good way to arrive at it." She said Mr. McCain had told his staff to remain deeply involved in negotiations on the legislation.Continue reading the main story

First Reviews of the Amazon Kindle Fire Seem Misguided
If you're buying an '85 Yugo from someone on Craigslist, you don't expect it to have the same features as a new Maserati, right? Of course, you don't expect to pay the same price, either. Are popular reviews of the Amazon Kindle Fire comparing it unfairly to its pricier competition by features alone — ignoring the benefits of its price point entirely? At LockerGnome.com, Ron tells us why snobby tech reviewers should keep the target audience for the Kindle Fire in mind before trying to smear "the little tablet that could."
YouTube for Android Updated, New Features Abound

Atlanta rapper T.I. is allegedly looking to take his success to the next level, as it's been reported that Tip is no longer with his record label of 10 years, Atlantic.
The rumor that's flying around is that T.I. has been in talks with Dr. Dre over at Interscope/Aftermath, and that he's also paid a visit to Sony. The big shocker is that T.I. is allegedly looking for a $75 million signing!
His new rumored signing would include 3 albums, 10-20% of publishing, tour, merchandising TV and film ventures, as well as corporate endorsements and exclusive rights to all artists signed under T.I.'s Grand Hustle label.
Do you think T.I. has the juice to warrant a $75 million deal?

INDIANAPOLIS - Eugene Monroe studied Dwight Freeney's spin move over and over again on film.
He knew it was coming. Just not like this.
"The experience is a different animal," Monroe said. "The speed of it ... it comes at you faster than you expect it and he can do it in so many different ways."
Monroe learned just about all of them during the Jaguars' 14-12 loss Sunday to Indianapolis. Monroe and Eben Britton became the first rookie opening-day starters at offensive tackle in the NFL since Luis Sharpe and Tootie Robbins of the 1982 St. Louis Cardinals. The duo experienced up-and-down performances in defending quarterback David Garrard against Pro Bowl pass rushers Freeney and Robert Mathis, but flashed just enough potential to give teammates confidence about the future.
"It was a great experience for Eugene and I to go up against such incredible players like Freeney and Mathis in our first game," Britton said. "Obviously we didn't have the outcome we wanted, but it was just that much fun to know you're going against the best in the world."
Monroe allowed just one sack in 55 snaps against Freeney while Britton limited Mathis to no sacks. Of course, Garrard bailed out the offensive line on several occasions. On one play in the second quarter, Garrard broke two tackles - including a near-sack by Freeney - before hitting Torry Holt for a 26-yard gain.
The sack Monroe gave up to Freeney in the first quarter snuffed out what appeared to be a promising drive. The Jaguars gained 32 yards in six plays to get to the Indianapolis 38, before Freeney dropped Garrard for an 8-yard loss on first down.
Asked whether the offensive line gave Garrard sufficient time to throw, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio became defensive.
"I'm not sure where you're going with that question," Del Rio said. "That sounds a lot like a finger-pointing question to me. I don't think that's appropriate."
Such concerns didn't stop Del Rio from being critical of the offensive line after its preseason opener at Miami. Garrard, who was also critical of the line during the preseason, praised the offensive line on Sunday, and singled out Monroe and Britton for their steady performance against two of the league's premier pass rushers.
Official statistics credit the Colts with six hits on Garrard. Freeney or Mathis - sometimes both at the same time - pressured Garrard on 11 occasions. Mathis also batted down a Garrard pass in the third quarter.
"That's a tough task for anybody, especially for young players," Garrard said. "There were a few times [Indianapolis applied pressure]. But I thought the offensive line did an outstanding job, especially those two guys -first time ever playing in the league [facing] the toughest possible challenge for them. So I have a lot of confidence in them moving forward."
Other teammates say they do, too.
Offensive guard Maurice Williams, who started at right tackle from 2001-06, said he first lined up against former Pittsburgh pass rusher Jason Gildon.
"That's being baptized in the fire right there, man," Williams said. "When you come in and go against some good guys, I think it helps you out early in your career. If you go against a scrub one week, all of the sudden you'll think everybody is like that. So personally, I think it's good to start off your season against guys like that. This is gonna be one of those great learning experiences for them and they're gonna get better."
Monroe said he couldn't wait to get back to the club's facilities today to "start preparing for the next week." Britton said the experience will prove beneficial for the rookies' next meeting with Freeney and Mathis on Dec. 17 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
"He's been to the Pro Bowl x-amount of times," Monroe said of Freeney. "So you know what type of player he is coming into this. I just tried my best with this being the first game and the challenges that came with that. It was definitely a learning experience. I'm ready to get back to the drawing board and ready to work."

Paulino's bat is one not seen in Indians system in some time
It has been some time since the Indians have had a hitter with such promise pass through their lower levels. There have been some good young prospects to pass through Low-A Lake County over the years, but none with the upside and potential to impact a game with the bat like that of shortstop Dorssys Paulino.
So much so, Paulino could be the best young hitting prospect to come into the lower levels of the Indians' system since Manny Ramirez. That is not a direct comparison to Ramirez as they are both different players, but more to what Paulino brings to the table compared to what the Indians have been unable to unearth and develop in the minors as a high level impact bat over the past 20 years since Ramirez departed from the system.
The Indians mined Paulino out of the Dominican Republic, a place where their scouting efforts there over the past two to three years have been much stronger than in years past. Second baseman Jose Ramirez was also a recent signing out of Latin America and Lake County fans saw what kind of prospect he is with his amazing second half showing last season. Overall, the Indians international efforts have been much better of late, and Paulino is at the head of all of that.
The Indians held a private workout for Paulino in 2011 and signed him on July 2nd that same year for $1.1 million during the International Signing Period. With the signing bonus came higher expectations, and so far he has lived up to them.
In his eyes, playing baseball has been the easy part. It was the pressure of having to tryout and compete with so many other Dominican players that was the hard part for him.
"The process was very difficult because there was a lot of competition in the Dominican," Paulino said. "The competition is fierce because there are a lot of players at the same position, so I tried to do the best I could to stand out. I needed to help my family. That's who I thought about. I need to work hard for my future and my family. I give thanks to the Cleveland Indians organization for signing me and giving me a chance to play for them."
To date Paulino has made the Indians look good as he had a sensational 2012 season at rookie level Arizona and short season Single-A Mahoning Valley where he hit a combined .333 with 7 homers, 38 RBI and .938 OPS in 56 games. The Arizona League numbers can be deceiving because of the much lower quality of pitching and the dry summer air that supports big numbers offensively, but he did it all at the age of 17 years old which was quite impressive.
"Last season was my first year [in pro ball] and I tried to learn and play well," Paulino said. "It was a great year because I felt very comfortable. I had a good season because I really worked on my hitting, so that is why I think I did so much better there than on defense. Now, I want to get better at defense."
Paulino is a natural born hitter with a good feel for the bat head who has the potential to be a special offensive player with his ability to make consistent, hard contact, hit for power, and be disciplined enough in his approach to draw some walks and limit strikeouts. The entire package is there with the approach, swing, and power to be an impact bat for the Indians down the road.
But the biggest question mark at the moment is Paulino's defense. Not only how good of a defender he can be, but what position he may end up at as he continues to mature. He lacks consistency with his fielding and the game tends to speed up on him at times which leads to rushed reactions and poor throws. However, while he may one day end up at third base or a corner outfield position, the Indians are still very committed to developing him as a shortstop.
With that in mind, Paulino wants to continue to work on improving his defense at shortstop. He spent the entire offseason at the Indians' academy in the Dominican Republic refining his defensive game and hopes to show some strides there this season.
"I feel good and I am working on what I worked on last year," Paulino said. "In the offseason I spent a lot of time working on my defense. I worked on my legs and strength to make sure that my legs are in good position because last year it was one of my problems."
The grind of a long year affects every player differently, but for Paulino it mostly affected his defense last year.
"Sometimes I felt a little bit tired out there, but then I would think about my family," Paulino said. "My family depends on me, so I kept telling myself to get up and get better every day. I learn something new every day on how to play the game. I'm just working on that consistency day in and day out. I will never stop working."
Whether he is working on the field with his defense, in the cages with his hitting, or in the classes with his English – which is improving by the day – Paulino continues to make strides and showcase the talent that has him unanimously listed as one of the Indians' top three prospects entering the 2013 season.
Paulino has the pedigree as his father Jesus Sanchez was a big league pitcher for seven seasons with the Cubs, Marlins, Reds and Rockies from 1998-2004. If he continues to improve and make big strides each year, then the sky is the limit on what he can become, and he could even become as good of a player as the two players he has idolized over the years, Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes.
"I have prepared my body to pay 140 games this year," Paulino said. "I am bigger and stronger this year. I'm just going to keep working hard no matter what happens."

Would not trade Lindor for anyone.
Santana was a good hitter. But was also not a hitter they developed. He was a guy they traded for and who spend about a year and a half in their system. They have not drafted/signed and then developed a better hitter since Ramirez. Now, Paulino may fall flat on his face, but they have not had a hitter in the system with his upside since. At his age though, they haven't had a hitter this exciting and this developed with his swing, approach and with the bat in 20 years. Easily. That's not hyperbole either. It's the general consensus I hear from people outside the organization. Time will tell if he lives up to it.
To me it would be Lindor, Paulino and any good SP prospect such as Brown and Salazar.
Sorry. Paulino isn't nearly that good. Santana was a lot better hitting prospect than Paulino -- Santana's bat speed and extension was clearly more impressive when he was in the minors for the Indians. Not even close.
One aspect of the article I find curious: Paulino's mindset of having to do it for his family. At this point he already has the 1.1M from the initial signing and his father is a former big leaguer (and at that point, even league minimums is a significant amount of money). Compared to many, that family already has plenty of money to do what is needed. His wanting to do more is admirable but not in the same vein of a kid signing for $10K and the family has always been under the poverty line.

The Albany County Board of Elections did a preliminary recanvass of the voting machines Thursday, but there is no change in Supervisor Paula Mahan's 296-vote lead over Republican Denise Sheehan.
Unlike the old voting booths, where errors frequently resulted, the new electronic machines don't often lead to mistakes unless a machine fails, said Democratic election commissioner Matthew Clyne.
"The old machines, a lot of time you had transpositional errors," Clyne said.
Someone would read a number off the machine to another poll inspector, and sometimes a 38 became an 83 in the process.
"With the electronic voting, however, you are not getting transpositional errors," he said.
As of Thursday, another four absentee ballots had arrived, bringing the total to 954. There are 292 Democratic ballots back, 401 Republican, 14 Conservative, 15 Independence Party, and one each from the Working Families and Green parties.
The critical voters, those unaligned to a party, number 230.
There is no mail today because it is Veterans Day, and Monday is the deadline for the absentee ballots to arrive. They must be postmarked by November 7, this past Monday.
The absentee ballot count will begin Wednesday.

The wedding invitation is kind of a double edge sword. It's an expense that will mostly wind up in the recycling bin after being opened with the exception of the RSVP and main invite. However many feel the invite sets the tone for the wedding. It gives a preview of what to expect and builds excitement. It's a chance to send a statement to your guests saying.."Hey, This is US!"
I am a personalization addict. I like to have my own spin on everything. My water bottle is decorated with stickers, my walls are painted with murals, my ice cream must have toppings! It's my thing! When it came to our wedding invitations, I was in a panic. I couldn't afford more than $150 dollars for our wedding invitations but I wanted something personal, something that felt like us. I shopped around and came up with prices from $1.50 an invite (with no frills) to a whopping $12 an invitation (after processing my dream invite). I went home. I had a panic attack, ate some ice cream with toppings and recovered. I then decided I was going to be brave and take matters into my own hands. I made a trip to Michaels and was lucky enough to find a set of print your own invitations in my exact color scheme. I then drove all around the tri-state area scooping up as many of these clearance kits as I could muster in case anybody else was on a budget looking for silver lined invitations in February.
I did make our invitations and I loved it so much that it is framed and on a shelf in the living room where I get to glance at it each day. It's also on display because it took about as much hard work and training as it would take to win a medal or a trophy which would also be on display.
Printing and designing your own invitations is rewarding, fun and sentimental. It's also a heck of a lot cheaper! However before you go stalking clearance sections in all the local craft stores in a 100 mile radius, read on to my tips and insight to see if this is the best decision for you…maybe not financially but mentally!
Tip #1 How savvy are you in Word or other editing software?
If you can cut and paste, work with text wrapping and download and import images…you have a good leg up on this! I made our invitation in Word using the template that came with the kit (I highly recommend a kit for the template help!). I even took a graphic and adapted it using Word to change colors, texture, alignment and size. You can even use autoshapes to make your own logo or graphic. If you want to buy one and save yourself hours of time, you can check out sites that allow you to purchase individual images or search public domain images for one that fits your theme or look. You want to have some experience with downloading and manipulating text. This will help you find fonts to personalize your look, move things around and recover your invite when you hit TAB one time too many and the whole thing goes Picasso looking on you.
Tip #2 Look for unique fonts!
Nothing says "I Made It Myself" like a Times New Roman or Comic Sans font invitation. Luckily there are so many fonts available through Google or blogs and many are free. Just be sure to check the licensing and terms of use. Often brides are able to attain these fonts for free with permission to reproduce because they are being used for personal reasons not commercial. You can choose a font that is as fancy or fun as you are! Just make sure that it isn't one preset to your Word program. You want your font to look the part!
Tip #3 Use a kit!
If you can line up cardstock and are spatially inclined you can use a paper cutter. However, the cost of a paper cutter and cardstock may surpass the cost of using a invitation kit. Kits are great because the invites often have embossed flourishes or designs which can be tricky (yet not impossible) to create on your own. You are also saving yourself a ton of time not cutting multiple different sized cards, not finding coordinating envelopes and not creating extra embellishments…time is money and in this case…your work time may not only be reduced but you may also save money with a kit!
Tip #4 Plan your theme/colors in advance!
If you know the date of your wedding and have a year or more to plan…this will help save some money! Look for invite kits on clearance right before the end of the season at your local craft store or stationary shop. Many go on sale just before the end of the season. If it is close to your big day, try and see if there are any kits on clearance that can coordinate with your colors. For instance, my colors were sage and rose (my poor bridesmaids) but I used an invitation that had a silver embellishments. I used the font and graphics to bring in my colors and used a silver pewter flower brad to add an embellishment and touch of spring time to the silver invite. In the end my invitation looked and felt like spring, despite the fact that my kit was a winter clearance item.
Tip #5 The kit you love is not on clearance…save your coupons or bring some friends!
If you find a kit you love…you stock up and stock up good! Call your friends to come and bring 40% off coupons with them since there is a limit of 1 per guest! It could be a bridal party outing! This can even apply to embellishments, seals or any other special touches you want to add to your invites. Every little bit helps and saving 40% is a big help!
Tip #6 Purchase many, many, many extra kits…and keep the receipt.
If you don't use them, you can return them at least for a credit if it is past the return date. I bought so many kits that I thought I was being dramatic. Then printing happened. I wound up messing up so many that I opened all the kits and I was grateful for my stockpile! You never know if your kit will be found again or discontinued especially if you are buying it off season. It is better to be safe than sorry!
Tip #6 You will hate your printer and truly believe it hates you.
My printer and I used to be friends…and then I tried to print my wedding invitations. It decided that it preferred the old 8 X 11 format that it had come to love over the years and hated my off size slightly thicker cardstock invites. It didn't matter that it had presets for the sizes. It had all the tools but not the desire! My printer decided to print things diagonally, turn my invites at the last second, spin and repeat. I had to slowly hand feed each invite into the printer, pray and still hope for the best. I would say 1 out of every 7 came out the way I wanted it! I was a little nuts and probably overthinking the precise leveling of all my text but it was important to me. There is a reason I went through so many kits! There is a learning curve to feeding uniquely sized invites into your feeder. If you stay patient …it does get better!
Tip #7 Addressing the invites is time consuming especially if you hate your handwriting.
I had to talk myself off a ledge. I was ready to invest in a DIY calligraphy course and set to send out my invites in style. I then stopped myself and realized that my guests will spend exactly 2 seconds looking at the address on the envelope. I think if I surveyed my guests 99 percent would not even remember what the address looked like in the first place. I decided to do clear address labels that I personalized with our graphic and colors. It's also not easy to write on glossy envelopes so the labels saved a lot of time. Bonus…I used the same labels to mail out thank you's after the wedding and shower!
Tip #8 Have fun and embellish!
Our theme was dragonflies. I bought (with my coupons) a small dragonfly paper punch and a set of pewter flower brads. I added the brads to the included ribbon in the kit and used the paper punch to help close my invites and later for the favor tags. My invites were simple but I felt like they were special. I knew they were unique and had details that would show guests what to expect on our day. You can embellish with glitter, rhinestones, stamps, ribbon, scrap book stickers or even adding a small fabric flower or bow. This part was the most rewarding and helped me get over my printing trauma!
Tip #9 Use discount printing sites for extra cards.
Keep your graphic and use sites such as Vistaprint to print business card size information to add to your invites. Your invitation will be the largest followed by the RSVP or menu request card. However you can customize business cards to hold information such as directions, hotel information and special requests. Guests will love this because it's easy to keep in hand in a wallet or purse. You will love it because you can print a box load for about $3!
Tip #10 Make invitations for yourself.
Be sure to make one to bring with you on the day of your wedding to use in photographs. Also keep two or three at home for personal display. You may want to put in a frame, scrapbook, wedding album or share with your future children one day and you sure won't want to have to print another one!

Chopard presents the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition
As part of its collaboration with Porsche Motorsport as Official Timing Partner, Chopard presents the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition dedicated to the new Porsche 919 Hybrid. This sophisticated COSC chronometer-certified flyback chronograph, picking up the design codes of the racing car, is issued in a 919-piece limited edition.
Celebrating the partnership between Chopard and Porsche Motorsport in the FIA World Endurance Championship – which is welcoming back the German manufacturer after a lengthy absence – the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition is set to make a noteworthy debut.
The new Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition is entirely in tune with this approach. This imposingly sized chronograph with its 45 mm-diameter case and flyback function beats to the pace of a mechanical Chopard 03.05-M calibre, chronometer-certified by the COSC. This 'engine' and its oscillating weight may be admired through a sapphire crystal engraved with the inscription "Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport".
Inspired by the new Porsche 919 Hybrid, the stripes on the dial evoke the racing car's rear diffuser. Likewise, the "919" appearing in a red rectangle inside a 9 o'clock subdial is identical to the number of the Porsche racing cars. Finally, the rubber strap is inspired by slick tyres serving to negotiate bends at extremely high speeds.
As Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport since the start of the season, Chopard will also be alongside the German team for its big return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A legendary team and an equally fabled circuit will contribute to making this a new milestone in the history of motor racing. On June 14th and 15th, Porsche will be looking to earn its 17th victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Canmake popular drugstore Japanese cosmetics brand is notoriously good for delivering a quality product that is much nicer than it's price should warrant. So when I saw they were introducing a new Lip Stain and Balm combination to get on the stain beauty trend I jumped aboard. Their lip stain is Canmake Stay On Balm Rouge "ステイオンバームルージュ". It's really popular in Japan and CanMake has since introduced two more shades since its 2012 November start.
Price 620 yen (can find on imomoko for $8.99)
Stay On Balm Rouge comes in six colors: (01) Rosier Rose ロージアローズ, (02) Smily Gerbera スマイリーガーベラ, (03) Tiny Sweatpea タイニースウィートピー, (04) Savonly Lily シャボンリーリリー, (05) Flowering Cherry Petal フローウィングチェリーペタル, (06) Sweet Clematis スウィートクレマチス
I'm reviewing (01) Rosier Rose
Real Product Reveal
Their packaging is girly yet basic. The chrome cap has not suffered damage and the paper wrapper looks to be holding strong after 6 months.
The thumb size of the application is huge.
Size comparison to my other current lip glosses and stains. Liz Lisa gloss review here.
Stay-On Balm Rouge 01 Rosier Rose Swatched and Worn
It does apply very smoothly and color is vibrant for being opaque.
iPhone laziness but you can see it worn. It looks a bit uneven and I think that's just application issues with the giant thumb of an applicator. The color is vibrant however.
Just-the-Facts Review for Canmake Stay-On Balm Rouge Lip Stain
– the price
– cute packaging
– nice variety of shades
– smooth, strong color after one pass
– initially moisturizing
– too big of an applicator to be precise
– can be drying after 4 hours and no reapplication
– doesn't last
Overall: 3/5
Final verdict: I can see going to this as a good tinted lip balm for winter and it's good for casual days with more natural make-up, but I wish it had more staying power and an easier way to apply. For the price, I would possibly repurchase in they had a color I loved.
Canmake Stay On Balm Rouge Lip Stain Current Line and In-Store Displays
They only had 4 shades at the time. I took these at the Plaza in Ikebukuro Sunshine City.

Over the past two years, the event has left cyclists breathless – both due to the magnificent scenery in the Golden Gate Reserve, and the tough yet rewarding route.
For one-day races or even three-day events, where you want a fast, lightweight climbing bike that's still appreciably controlled in the rougher downhill bits, the Trek Procaliber is the quintessential race weapon.
Training to be a better fat burner can make you stronger on your bike and leaner in your kit.

(Not much spiritual or profound here about Advent; I did write a week's worth of devotionals on Hope you can read here and click on Advent. My contributions were the first week.)
Steve, the elf, lives at Norah's house. I could beat myself up about the fact that I meant to start this tradition this year at our home. Instead I'm content for Anna Cate to think this little elf just lives at Leana and Luke's (and Libby's) house.
This is an example of how I'm not really the best Mom, but I do the best I can and don't sacrifice myself in the process. For all those Moms out there who lose sleep to do it all, I commend you. It is just not me.
This Christmas I'm trying to find some balance, giving myself permission to not do it ALL!!! I believe there is next year and it is ok to not cram it all into one year. In fact, I may even skip the 2 hour line to see Santa (ahhh ghast).
Life doesn't really stop for Christmas since I still have to work, work out, sleep, do laundry, work out, et. While I could get all sappy about christmas memories for these young precious daughters of mine, I'm just spending my energy on enjoying the moments.
The first year Anna Cate was constructing memories, I felt obligated to DO IT ALL. This year, I'm trying to enjoy what we are doing...
For the past several weeks, we've listened to a soundtrack for Anna Cate's Christmas peformacne with her children's choir at church.
She knew all the words and added some dance moves of her own to this precious rendition of the Christmas story from the perspective of the stars. While these children of ours certainly make Christmas a lot more work, I would say that they make it shine a little brighter as well. Anna Cate is our little star, and we think Leana and Evan, her best friends from birth, have a special twinkle as well. During the performace, Anna Cate and Evan held hands.
And not to be outshined, Molly Mae enjoyed a craft night with Patti and Anna Cate. Since I'm not a craft mom, I jump at any chance for someone else to lead these activities.
This was hosted by our church's preschool minister, and we love watching our girls develop a foundation for religious education as well as forming kindred spirits....
thanks to the tireless efforts and talents of our dear ministers, like Erin.
The girls made these sweet angels with the wings in the form of their hands; I will treasure them forever.
Since the party fell on a Thursday night, I slipped out and let Patti have the reigns while BJ and I enjoyed a date night. It is so nice to feel like an adult.
On Friday night, Anna Cate and I went to hear our choir's performace, which was breathtaking, ending with the Hallelujah chorus. My Dad says he could eat a deviled egg every day for the rest of his life and never get sick of them; I feel that way about Mendel's piece. I enjoyed telling Anna Cate abou the tradition of standing up for it; I hope my kids know about those type things.
Yesterday, the girls and I enjoyed a delightful day making memories with our dear friends, the Pences while the guys went to the Redskins game. We made memories and a ginger bread house. Norah and I would stop them to say, REMEMBER THIS!!!
Norah had hot chocolate and baked goods to snack on. She is AMAZING since she just had a baby less than 2 weeks ago. I brought the wine.
Really, much of the work was in hands of the mommies, but we had fun, too.
While the base was constructed by us, the girls could do the fluff....the gum drops, sprinkles, peppermints. Once Leana sweetly asked, "can we make a mess?"
Theses smiles are so worth the mess and the work.
My Christmas lesson from gingerbread house building: you focus on the big and the small picture. The base and the fluff. The Hallelujah chorus and the elves.
So no matter where the elf lives, or which memories we fit into this short season, Christmas time is good....and there is a whole lot of sweetness.
On the house and in these hearts.
A Norwegian proverb says, "Cookies are made of butter and love." I'm thinking the same thing about Christmas.

Custom Application Development Services Make use of Agile Custom Application Development Services
It has been projected by Gartner that by 2012, agile custom application development services will likely to be made use of by roughly 80% of most software development projects. The main reason why this much percentage of projects are transferring to agile technique is because the approach hastens the primary business price which is consistently getting maximized through the development process. With regards to agile method throughout the application development, it does the role of a link between the business as well as the development company. This then simply washes away the possibilities of project failures, ignored deadlines as well as increased budgets.
The custom software development companies which work with Agile method accomplish greater transparency, much less reduction of hours, powerful communication, better release and also quicker time to market.
Cloud computing is yet another technology which application development services providers apply. The entire year of 2012 is all fixed to turn out to be the year of cloud computing. Since it is costly and inefficient to utilize conventional resources, custom software developers can make use of cloud or on-premise deployment. By using cloud, there's a cut in entire IT spend, IT infrastructure expenditure as well as raise in IT responsiveness.
Since there are wide variety of development tools, code repositories plus content management systems, it's actually a good idea for custom software development services providers to implement Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) 2.0 which presents the framework as well as tools to gain back control and even oversight with no need of burdening development staff or budgets. The integration enables a large number of organizations make the most of further extension of software life, improvement in sharing of code and also reduction in the necessity for extra development. By taking advantage of the ALM 2.0, corporation accomplish improved oversight and governance across projects, better safety as well as protection regarding corporate IP, greater developer effectiveness as well as scalable software configuration management (SCM).
The fact that the software development is really a social activity must be grasped perfectly by a custom software development company. In order to create a final product, a group or multiple groups are required. Regardless of where the development is being done - in-house, outsourced or maybe in a hybrid model - it's necessary that software developers receive the proper platform to collaborate and also interact. When the developers put extra social features into the development process, there develops improved cooperation, increased confidence, quicker development and improved re-use of software assets.
The most important purpose of any kind of software is usually to carry out the processes speedier and automated. It as a result is believed that software development is essentially a quick as well as repeatable process. As there are changes being launched inside each one phase regarding software development, application presentation is tremendously revolutionized. Some of the phases include developing apps, setting up them, evaluating and publishing them. Consistency in collaboration and distribution makes this innovation practical. Skilled custom software application development companies are aware of it perfectly that software class can be increased simply by continuous builds, implementation along with automatic evaluating.
There are lots of things that application development services providers can acquire through gradually re-doing along with streamlining software delivery pipeline. By doing so, the companies can have expanded predictability of software releases, significantly decreased project threat, reduction of waste which results in lower cost, and refocus on cost creation rather than dealing with processes.

Translating the OpenAidMap profile can take two routes, either at installation or after installation of the profile;
Translating OpenAidMap after installation
- Download the translation files of the profile in the given language from the http://localize.drupal.org server.
- Place the translation file in the
translationsdirectory of the profile i.e
- Go to the Languages page (
/admin/config/regional/language) under the Regional and languages configuration page.
- On the Languages page, click the "Add language" button, choose your preferred language from the drop-down list of the supported languages and add the language by clicking the "Add language" button.
- Translation files of the profile and modules will be imported into the database.
- After the translation files of your preferred language have been imported, you can set the particular language as the default by checking the "Default" radio button next to the language and then click the "Save configuration" button.
Installing OpenAidMap in your preferred language
- Download the translation files of the profile in your preferred language from the http://localize.drupal.org server.
- Place the translation file in the
translationsdirectory of the profile i.e
- Run the installer
- Select the language at the Select language page of the installer, the profile will be installed in your preferred language.
Translating OpenAidMap modules whose translations are not hosted on the Localize server
Translating a module's strings involves two files, the .pot file and the .po file. The .pot file is the template file with all the strings from the module not translated, and the .po file is the .pot file translated to a particular language (to translate the strings of a module to a particular language one uses the template file).
Translation files of a module are kept in the
translations directory of the module.
So to translate a module's strings to any particular language, one needs a .pot file (the template file) and an editor, preferrably a Gettext editor, and by importing the .pot file into the editor one translates the .pot file hence coming up with the .po file in a given language e.g de.po for the German translations, es.po for the Spanish, etc
Using the .pot file the strings of the module (or any other project) can be translated to multiple languages, one only needs an editor and most preferrably a gettext editor.

The center of Trier is dominated by a large and fascinating market square called Hauptmarkt, meaning Main Market Square. The very first market square of Trier was at the river, but in the 10th century Archbishop Heinrich I moved the main market square to its current location. In the middle ages, the market was used for trade of goods and to this day you will see many vendor booths selling fresh produce, souvenirs and flowers. The right to hold markets was also granted in the 10th century, which means the vendors at the market had to pay a fee or tax to the city in order to do business there.
The market centers around the much decorated Petrusbrunnen (Fountain of St. Peter), which was built in 1595. It shows St. Peter, the patron saint of Trier, surrounded by the four virtues Fortitude, Justice, Prudence, and Temperance, all as female figures. In contrast, you will see monkeys and monsters portraying the vices. In between the female figures are animals such as dolphins, eagles, geese, and lions together with a coat of arms. Take your time to circle the fountain to find even more interesting elements.
From the fountain we also spotted the Löwenapotheke (Lion's Pharmacy), which is the oldest pharmacy in Germany - first mentioned in 1241. Across from the pharmacy is the tallest building of the market square, which is called Steipe, which means "to lean on" in the Trier dialect. The white, castellated building got its name from its short pillars on top and was originally built in 1430 (see the first picture). During WWII the Steipe was completely destroyed, but reconstructed in 1968, after a lengthy discussion of the citizens, who were trying to decide between a modern building and the reconstruction of the original Steipe building. I am glad the citizens of Trier voted for the reconstruction of the original building, it looks authentic and fits perfectly into the market picture.
On the ground level of houses on the square are restaurants, cafes and shops. It sure takes a while to get a feel for the space and to take it all in. Why not sit in one of the cafes and enjoy some German cake and coffee? This should give you some extra energy to explore the other sights of Trier.
An interesting fact about the main market square: All roads in Trier lead to the Hauptmarkt, which makes it a great place to navigate from. When you stand at the Petrusbrunnen fountain in the center, you will have the Porta Nigra to the north, the Cathedral to the east, the Kaiserthermen to the south, and the Mosel river to the west.
This was actually the first market square I have ever taken Denise to, and it is by far one of the prettiest in Germany with its colorful restored facades and old town feel. Have you been there? What was your most favorite memory of the Trier Hauptmarkt?

It's often said winter weather in the South is magical.
Snow and ice are not easy to manufacture. There is a precise set of factors required, such a narrow range of Xs and Ys that the science indeed seems like wizardry on the rare occasion when it all comes together to turn the city white.
As hard as weather is to predict generally, predicting frozen precipitation might as well be necromancy.
Twice in the past month, meteorologists hinted that potentially dangerous ice storms would hit Nashville, crippling the city in the way only a glaze of ice can, clinging to trees and power lines, ripping them with its weight.
And twice, Nashville watched as a mere cold rain fell.
Ice is the toughest forecasting nut to crack, as it requires cold air aloft, a pocket of warm air just below that, and then freezing temperatures near the surface. Guessing whether those three ingredients will meet at a precise time in a precise place is not easy. And twice, the weathercasters got it wrong.
But, in reality, they weren't that far off. The surface temperature in Nashville needed to be, of course, at 32 or below. And it never quite got there — the mercury would dance at 34, creep down to 33 and hold steady. One or two degrees Fahrenheit, in the great scheme of things, isn't that bad of a miss.
Meanwhile elsewhere, west towards the Tennessee River and then again east towards the Cumberland Plateau, the air hit the magic number and ice fell.
The colder air belted the Nashville area, but never squeezed shut. And all through those two nights, the meteorologists had to guess when — or if — the colder air would arrive.
It never did. And they never really knew how close it was to the city.
Meteorologists can't be everywhere.
The National Weather Service office in Old Hickory is responsible for predicting the weather for all of the Midstate. They themselves, the experts, can observe the conditions at their office. They can rely, with some degree of confidence, in the observations made by air traffic controllers at the larger airports or at Fort Campbell. And they can count on the TV weather people in Nashville to provide accurate information.
But if they need a temperature on the ground in, for example, Hohenwald, they are relying on a layperson.
And when it comes to events, like those two ice storms, when dead-eye accuracy is the keystone, those observations can fall short.
The weather service also employs expensive, fancy modeling equipment, which given a certain set of variables, can estimate temperatures all through a region. But as with any computer program, the output is only as good as the input — if it's garbage in, it's garbage out.
Meanwhile, Nashville sits at 33 degrees and rainy.
While it's reflex to simply blame your local weatherman when a forecast misses — when plans are changed for a storm that never arrives, when panic befalls for a crisis that doesn't occur — it's not that simple. For a more accurate prediction, the meteorologists need better data.
Kentucky's meteorologists have an advantage: a statewide network of 64 automated weather stations in nearly every county in the commonwealth. It's called a mesonet.
In short, a mesonet provides real-time — updated every minute — data and has the ability to "detect smaller-scale weather features," according to WKRN-Channel 2 meteorologist Justin Bruce.
"While mesoscale weather features can be detected on radar, the radar beam is often pointing a few thousand feet high into the storm on the radar's periphery, and not indicative of actual conditions on the ground. A mesonet gives us physical observations and actual ground truth. This is exceptionally helpful in the world of weather modeling, where you can never have enough observed data to feed the computer's system of equations," he said.
Bruce said that comes in handy during winter weather events as well as more traditional severe storms. Meteorologists have the back-end capability of producing highly accurate short-term forecasts, but the process works best with lots of front-end information.
"Short-term high-resolution weather models … run on a set of grid points that are spaced just four kilometers apart. When you feed that sort of a model with observations from only Clarksville, Nashville and Chattanooga, you are theoretically missing out, because it's equipped to handle so much more," he said. "It's like feeding Chris Johnson canned ravioli before a game instead of lean protein, or whatever it is that fast NFL running backs eat."
And Kentucky has plenty of that lean protein.
Western Kentucky University professor Stuart Foster is Kentucky's state climatologist and director of the Kentucky Mesonet. The project was funded via earmarks secured by Sen. Mitch McConnell — a total of $3 million. Foster wouldn't disclose the annual recurring budget except to say it's not seven figures.
"In order to really leverage your investment and actually derive the benefit from it, you are looking at a budget approaching $1 million. You can run it on less than that, and we are doing that right now. We can operate it and put the data out there, but we don't have the resources to extract all the value," he said.
Nevertheless, the mesonet has proven to be a valuable resource, and the feedback on the project is almost universally positive. Information is used by TV forecasters, farmers, county emergency management offices and law enforcement. And while pinpointing snow and ice is fun — especially for school kids — Kentucky's National Weather Service offices find the extra data especially useful during thunderstorms.
"The wind data is what they like the most. When we are in a severe weather situation, the radar is telling us what's happening in the storm environment but not on the ground. Before, we were blind at the surface," Foster said.
But the mesonet provides virtual eyeballs from Paducah to Pikeville, an uncommon wealth of information.
Kentucky worked with the operators of Oklahoma's mesonet, as well as U.S. government scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to create a network and an infrastructure that best suits the state, its weather and its geography — all similar to Tennessee.
But Kentucky has one advantage Tennessee doesn't — beyond being home to the U.S. Senate minority leader. Kentucky — and most every other state — has a state climate office able to coordinate the planning and later operation of the system. Tennessee's climate office was dissolved in 2005.
"There are people working on [reviving a state climate office] and have a vision. There's a possibility to do what we've done here in Kentucky. We would certainly be happy to work with people in Tennessee," Foster said.
Unless and until that happens, forecasters like Bruce will be stuck trying to serve a steak dinner out of a Chef Boyardee can. And forced to endure the slings and arrows of missing a forecast by just a degree or two.

Fletcher feels India need good fortune to stage a comeback
Coach Fletcher feels India need good fortune to stage a comeback
Coach Fletcher feels India need good fortune to stage a comeback
Duncan Fletcher, the coach, has now lost six Tests in a row in Australia. The nightmare began in 2006-07 when his English side was whitewashed. It's not looking good for the Zimbabwean on his return Down Under as India coach. He was put in the hot seat in the media briefing here at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) yesterday after his side had another forgettable outing.

Fletcher felt that his team needed a bit of fortune to stage a comeback. "The mood in the change room has been very, very good. All the players have worked very hard at the nets. They are putting in the effort, they are trying their best. "Sometimes in cricket, we need a little bit of good fortune. If you see Sachin today (his dismissal), how many times do you play on from that width? Normally, he would have put that through covers for four. Sometimes, luck goes against you. Sometimes, it runs with you," Fletcher told reporters after Australia drew stumps on 116-3 yesterday.

Fletcher was seen spending time with struggling opener Gautam Gambhir on Sunday. When asked if he was worried about Gambhir's persisting woes (dismissed for a three-ball duck), Fletcher said: "We have been working on him to get more positive. That's what's crucial with Gautam.
"We are working on the mental side of it, where we feel he has been quite tentative and pushing at balls instead of going out there and batting like he should. "We have seen Gautam in the past. He is an attacking batter. We are trying to get him to be a lot more positive in his approach. Today, the ball he got (from James Pattinson), it would have been difficult to leave that, pitching on leg stump, going across you. It probably would have got a few left-handers out so early in an innings," Fletcher said.
Fletcher denied claims that Tendulkar's elusive milestone of hundred international tons was putting pressure on the team. "I don't think it does. Everybody supports Sachin. He is a great batter, everyone knows that. It's not really putting pressure on the rest on the side. "You (the media) have got to speak to Sachin if he is putting pressure on himself. Only he can answer that. From the team's point of view, they don't really worry about it," he said.

Labor Day: The machinists
By SUSAN KANTOR/For The News-Gazette
This is part of a two-day look at the trades in East Central Illinois.
Keith Parrish grew up in an era when your dad made sure you had a trade.
"My dad was a working man. He was a plumber. And he said, 'If you do anything, I want you to have a trade because that way I know you're always going to be able to make a living,'" Parrish said.
Parrish found machining and stuck with it. He is supervisor of the Mechanical Science and Engineering Machine Shop at the University of Illinois, but his love for machining began in high school. In the early 1970s, Parrish's high school in DeLand started a program in which students would go to Decatur Area Vocational Center for half of the school day.
"I just walked into a machine shop, and I thought all the machines were cool, and I liked working with my hands. I went to two years of school there, and just graduated from that with probably a decent idea of how to be a good machinist. That's how it all started."
Parrish worked at two shops in Champaign-Urbana, and although he never went through an official apprenticeship program, he worked with a journeyman machinist and learned on the job. He was hired at the UI to work in the Materials Research Lab machine shop in 1993. He worked at a few shops across campus and became supervisor at his current shop five years ago.
Tim Prunkard was also hired as a machinist with the UI and has been friends with Parrish for most of that time, but followed a different path to this career. He graduated from high school when he was 17. With no idea what he wanted to do, he decided to look for a trade. He started working in a factory in Danville and saw a post on a bulletin board for a machinist apprenticeship. He earned his union card and worked in several factories and shops before coming to the UI 16 years ago. Like Parrish, he worked at a few shops on campus and then became supervisor at the Civil and Environmental Engineering machine shop.
"I worked with my hands a lot, worked on junk all my life. Then when I was old enough to drive, junk cars, and so I had a little bit of self-training there because we didn't have money to buy things that we wanted. You had to work on something if you wanted a ride or you wanted to drive, you had to work on everything that you had," Prunkard said.
Both machinists have similar jobs as supervisors. Students bring them sketches of research design projects, and they discuss how to build the machine and how much it will cost. Prunkard's shop is the biggest machine shop on campus, where full-size and scale models of buildings are built and materials are tested.
Technology has somewhat changed the job, but Parrish thinks the fundamentals are still key.
"The basics have gotten lost. From what I've seen of younger machinists, it's really difficult for me to hire people for this shop. The main reason is the younger machinists have lost the basics as far as how do you take a piece of metal and start making a part out of it."
Computer numerical control, or CNC, machines were practically unheard of 30 years ago, but they are now prevalent in the trade. While machinists like Parrish and Prunkard learned to do the job manually, CNC machines are part of the younger machinists' training. Today, machinists have to be computer-savvy.
"They're more used to getting a program that's already been written, putting a block of steel in. Somebody's already figured out how to make it for them," Parrish said. "Give me a piece of iron or steel, and I'll figure out how to make the part."
CNC machines allow machinists to work faster and make complicated parts simple.
"It's hard to write a program for just one little part. It's faster if you can just go ahead and build it – if you're good," Parrish said.
Parrish and Prunkard were involved in starting an apprenticeship program for machinists at the UI.
"I'm an old guy and realized that some trades are dying out, machine shops especially," Prunkard said. "Technology has created management to think that everyone can be a machine operator or machine operators are more efficient. I believe, because of my knowledge, that being a machinist is more valuable."
Prunkard said it is difficult to hire people who know a little bit of everything about being a machinist.
"My apprentices will know how to sharpen their own cutting tools and sharpen their own drill bits and they will know speeds and feeds on machine ability. Those are things that I think are not taught anymore because of CNC machines. It is all done for you in an office somewhere. You just plug in the program and run the part," Prunkard said.
Don Marrow and Jamar Brown are in the third and final year of the apprentice program in Prunkard's shop.
Both grew up in an era where parents didn't make sure you had a trade. Neither aspired to be machinists. Now that they are in the program, they have found careers for life.
Marrow, 28, received an associate's degree in law enforcement from Danville Area Community College. He wanted a safer career when he started a family, so he worked as a salesman in Danville for five years. After being laid off, he started working in the shop as part-time help and was hired as an apprentice when the program started.
"I just kind of fell into it. I enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot. It's something different. You're not doing the same thing all the time. It's an enjoyable job. You come here and do your work and you feel like when you're done, you've accomplished something. It's a good place to be," Marrow said.
Brown, 27, thought he would be either a teacher or a business owner when he was in high school. After graduating from Centennial High School in Champaign, though, Brown didn't know what he wanted to do, so he worked until he found something he liked. After working in jobs ranging from hotels to snow plows, Brown found his way in at the UI by working nights as a janitor. He wanted to be promoted to a driver for Facilities and Services, but a supervisor recommended him for the apprenticeship.
"I was already interested in what happened in this building because as a janitor, I cleaned this building sometimes. And just the work and the size of the experiments always fascinated me, so once I had the chance to be in here, obviously I jumped at that opportunity," Brown said.
Brown and Marrow spend their days at the Civil and Environmental Engineering machine shop, learning the trade from men who have spent their careers as machinists. They also take classes at Parkland College to supplement their training.
Neither knew much about machining at the beginning of their apprenticeships. Marrow had taken shop classes in high school in Georgetown, but Brown had never taken any sort of technical class. Both agree that having trade-related classes in high school would have helped them and could help students choose careers.
"They don't have trade classes in high school, so how does a kid know that they want to do this job or not if they've never had any experience with it out of high school? We used to have shop classes and welding classes and all that in school, and I think a lot of them are just kind of doing away with those programs," Marrow said.
Marrow said he thinks the mind-set is different now for when people are leaving high school. They want business jobs.
"That's the wonderful part about being in any trade. No matter what trade you're in, it gives you the confidence to do that stuff on your own. I feel like if I didn't have that, I would be lost. And I kind of feel sorry for those who are not able to experience that, the schools that have done away with those classes," Marrow said.
Brown said people need options other than going to college or working in a fast-food restaurant.
"If it's not taught in the schools, and like myself, if no one around you is doing it, then how do you even find out those jobs are even available? I just have to say I was really blessed to be in the right place at the right time because it had absolutely nothing to do with me. If I had seen this job in the newspaper, I would have never ever applied for it. Ever. It had absolutely nothing to do with me. I think if it was in school, it would have been an option to me if it was available," Brown said.
Parrish, Prunkard and both apprentices are confident that the trade is not going away.
Marrow said he expects the number of people going into the machinist trade to decrease because machines will continue to replace some manual-labor jobs.
"People are always going to need stuff made. Even if they keep coming out with these computer-controlled machines, somebody has still got to run them. Somebody has still got to program them. And not everything can be done by a computer. We're always going to have to be around to do this type of work. If this shop wasn't here, there would be no Civil Engineering Department because nobody would be able to make the things that they're testing here," Marrow said.
As long as there is research, machinists who know the trade will be needed.
"I think it's a dying art, it's a dying case that's going to be necessary," Prunkard said. "I believe that every trade needs apprentices. I don't know why ours is really dying, but technology and money, efficiency, and not being able to prove in a conversation that I can be more efficient than a machine operator."
Parrish was optimistic about the future of machinists and their shops.
"I have a good feeling that 20 years from now, there's still going to be machine shops. We went through a phase where they were saying that we were all going to go to computer simulations, do all the research on computers. They have found out since that the results are not always like pure, physical testing, so that aspect helps us."
And Brown has found something he enjoyed enough to make it a career.
"I prayed for something that was in the days, no nights, no weekends, and I got it," he said. "I guess this is where I'm supposed to be for now. I do see myself making this a career. But who knows what life will end up throwing at me. I want to be here, so as long as they'll have me, I'll stay."
