OLAC Report for 2002
OLAC - Open Language Archives Community - www.language-archives.org
Steven Bird and Gary Simons
OLAC, the Open Language Archives Community, is an international
partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a
worldwide virtual library of language resources by: (i) developing
consensus on best current practice for the digital archiving of
language resources, and (ii) developing a network of interoperating
repositories and services for housing and accessing such resources.
OLAC builds on the Open Archives Initiative and the Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative, and is sponsored by the NSF/EC project
"International Standards in Language Engineering" (ISLE).
The OLAC homepage, at www.language-archives.org, hosts many documents
providing full technical details of OLAC, including the OLAC Metadata
Set, the Metadata Schema, the OLAC Process document, information for
implementers, and the OLAC-General Mailing list.
In the past 12 months, there have been three major developments with OLAC:
LAUNCHES: OLAC was formally launched in North America in a symposium held
at the 76 Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in San
Francisco (January 2002). OLAC was also launched in Europe in a
symposium held at the 3rd International Conference on Language Resources
and Evaluation, in Las Palmas, Spain (May 2002).
PARTICIPATION: Participation in OLAC has doubled. Today there are over 20
participating archives and services: ACL, ANLC, AISRI, APS, ATILF, CBOLD,
DFKI, ELRA, Ethnologue, LACITO, LDC, LINGUIST, OLACA, OTA, Perseus
Project, Rosetta, SCOIL, SIL, TalkBank, TRC and TRACTOR. Together these
institutions have documented some 30,000 language resources (corpora,
tools, publications, etc), and they can be searched simultaneously.
Note that the ACL Anthology is indexed by OLAC.
INFRASTRUCTURE: Key software infrastructure is now in place, including
Vida, a virtual data provider for proxied services; ORyX, and XML format
for representing OLAC repositories in XML, ORE, the OLAC repository
editor, a forms based metadata editor; and DP9, a web-crawler gateway
permitting search engines to index all OLAC content.
There are three ways in which members of the community can become involved
in OLAC:
1. Use OLAC to search for needed language resources. Users can search
based on language, linguistic data type, linguistic software
functionality, etc.
2. Document new resources using OLAC metadata. Use OLAC tools to
create/publish descriptions of language resources.
3. Contribute to the development of controlled vocabularies for language resource
To find out more, please visit www.language-archives.org and join the OLAC-General
mailing list.

I haven't tried xfce4 since 4.0, but maybe you can right click on the panel and search for the wavelan plugin?

Fed up with seeing multiple posts showing up as 'Home page" in stats. Is it really just the last post? Or a combination? I might have done one or ten in a day. I want to see what people are viewing. I do not want to see "Home page". How do I do that?
The blog I need help with is sciencesprings.wordpress.com.

yes they do. this information is banned and not leagle to my knowledge, I could be wrong but I don't chance. law enforcement agents go to many extremes. go to the chat to get your URL
— Posted by Darkie on 4:06 pm on Feb. 27, 2002
damn pigs….Hey, my 2 cents? Don't make impact expolsives. I recommend figureing out some kinda gernade thing, easier and safer to store. Some impact explosives have like a half life of a week before they become way to unstable from moisture in the air.

i wouldnt mind getting that terrorist handbook preditor… firstname.lastname@example.com

depends on where you live… but i dont think its banned its strictly knowlede… i went into my job the other day with a copy of it and i work in the RI state house and no one gave a shit…
— Posted by The Great Milenko on 12:33 am on Feb. 28, 2002
This is a fairly interesting topic, but everyone is just rambling on about stuff thats illegal and the terrorist handbook :angry:
how about we get back to the topic!! and from now on you cant post your email and say "yeah i want a copy of that!" this forum isnt for idle chit chat!! use the PM program to msg each other to chat about obtaining manuals and other shit like that!!
— Posted by somefukinsnapov on 1:20 am on Feb. 28, 2002
lotta good that is when half the ppl live in differnt countries with yup u guessed it, different time zones !!
get off it ,ura moderator so make a chat forum where u CAN have your so called"idle chit chat" hmmpphh!!PM programe ha!!…………
— Posted by The Great Milenko on 2:53 am on Feb. 28, 2002
Your right they're all at different time zones, but how do you suppose to make a "chat forum where u CAN have your so called"idle chit chat"" when indeed they're all at diff time zones?
i meant the messenger program not the instant msg program that pops up when you click on the lil msn like icon under someones name when they're online, the messenger program just sends a msg that sits in the inbox of the person you sent it too till they are online!
— Posted by Spitfire88ai on 12:35 pm on Feb. 28, 2002
what about a grenade then does anyone know how to make a pretty exploseve one?
— Posted by Zambosan on 12:43 pm on Feb. 28, 2002
ILK: Don't count on that argument for long. The recording industry managed to get the DMCA passed to protect their corporate interests… now even just linking to a web page that contains information on how to circumvent copy-protection schemes can land you in jail. Or just speaking about it at a security conference or at a university… just ask Dmitry Skylarov. :angry:

Andrew has continued to fight naps. He took one yesterday, but that's only because it was dark and rainy, and I don't know about you, but I'm always sleepy on those kinds of days.
So when I heard the thunder outside of the office, my first thought was, "At least Andrew is catching a nap."
I may have to start standing outside of his bedroom every afternoon with a beach umbrella and a garden hose.

Immammura Sensei says that the tsurite is in fact, NOT useless. It's actually incredibly helpful. Lift and pull for ultimate Uchimata.

Can we get a bit more detail on what the reaping/sweeping leg is doing? In the "leggy" video it's showing what I think of as uchimata, but in the "hippy" video it's a little less clear. It looks more like hane goshi?
9/04/2011 5:27pm, #15
The main difference is that in a 'hippy' uchi mata uke is loaded onto the hip and then the sweeping leg, literally runs up the 'far' leg's inner thigh to effect the throw.
In the 'leggy' version you notice that the leg sweeps up into the groin and the inner thigh with which contact is made is that of the 'near' leg.
Note in a right on right situation. uke's left leg is considered the near and uke's right the far.
Personally in randori I tend to throw with leggy ken ken versions, because frankly. they're easier for low skilled spuds like me to get.
I have only thrown 2 'perfect', i.e effortless, Uchi matas and they were both a clean sweep up the 'far' leg.
As I said before if you get the foot work, hand action and body contact right it actually doesn't matter whether you do a hippy or leggy Uchi mata they will go over, fairly neatly.

Just to add to this, we (my students and my school) use this all the time, and land it in the cage regularly. It is awesomeness, packed into a nice throw.

Personally I wouldn't try it from a fairly loose head an arm as shown the video, for the reasons he states, you can be blocked.
I would attempt it from a right side underhook and a left side overhook. Or from a tight head and arm wrap.
However, I'm not really that experienced in no-gi, so tend to fall back on what worked for me in no-gi MMA sparring.

Discussion in 'Fly Tying' started by Kent Lufkin, Nov 2, 2005.
got any more room? if so I am in.
Stephen makes it an even dozen and the swap is now closed.
Here's who's in:
Flyn' dutchman
Willie Bodger
Scott Behn
Teeg Stouffer
Matthew Grunwald
James Mello
Dylan D
Stephen Rice
and yours truly.
Tyers, please mark Thursday, December 15, 2005, on your calendars as the date for me to RECEIVE your flies.
I know this may seem elementary to most people, but from previous swaps I've found there's always at least one person who doesn't understand that for me to receive them by the 15th, they need to MAIL their flies several days earlier. The further you are from Seattle, the more time you should allow for snail mail to get here from wherever you are. Better yet, tie your flies early and send 'em as soon as you're finished.
Since there's twelve of us, you can send eleven flies and keep the twelfth for yourself (although an extra two or three for the swapmeister will be gratefully appreciated!)
So that everyone knows which beauties YOU tied, attach a toe tag to each of your flies with your name and the name of your fly. If you wish (and you write really small!), you can also include the recipe as well. A strip of paper cut to about 3/8" x 4" with a 1/4" on one end folded back and the point of the hook stuck through the doubled paper works great.
Please avoid using little pre-cut tags with strings that you tie onto each fly. From experience, the string works loose and I end up getting a bunch of loose flies and tags that I've gotta reattach. Also, please avoid big tags. At least one person will send their flies in a little tiny fly box or Altoid tin which will make stuffing your big tag into that tiny space a challenge.
Place your flies in a crush-proof container (a cheap plastic fly box, an Altoid tin or a plastic VHS tape case all work great). Put the container in a heavy manilla clasp envelope or sturdy box along with a self-addressed return envelope or a stick-on label.
Please make SURE and include the correct return postage or a couple of bucks. I get cranky when someone just assumes that I'll pay for return postage.
Mail the whole shebang to me at:
Kent Lufkin
c/o L2D Design
13343 Bel-Red Road
Bellevue, WA 98005
I'll divide up the flies on Friday, December 16 and mail 'em back out to you. You don't have to wait until the middle of December to send 'em in. If everyone gets their flies in early then I can send 'em out early and the swap doesn't have to come to a screetching halt while one or two guys are frantically tying the day before the deadline.
Finally, if you've got to pull out of the swap for some unforeseen reason, PLEASE let us know by posting to this thread as soon as possible. Things change in life and it's OK if you've gotta focus on something else instead. But a little advance notice will go a long way and keep me from having to track you down the day before the deadline.
I'll add to this thread from time to time to see how we're all doing as the deadline draws closer and will send email or PMs to any laggards.
Otherwise, thanks for joining in the swap - I can't wait to see your personal interpretation of this classic pattern.
Here's my GRHE
I agree! I'm a bit bummed I'm not participating, but that's totally ok because I just tied a set for the Marathon swap:
ps. the Lagartun oval tinsel is way better than any unbranded tinsel I've ever used.
Flies are packaged and will be posted on Monday.
Flies are in flight!!
Halcyon, you're awesome! I'm gonna start mine tomorrow morning.
Mine are done, will get toe tags and go in the mail in the next couple days.
1 dozen weighted flashback hare's ears, plus a couple variations for the 'meister (olive variant, different wing case, and tied sparsely).
Recipe in my gallery.
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's!
Sweet, Teeg! I'll look forward to seeing them.
Mine are half done but we're remodeling our house and my tying desk is buried under a tarp in a pile of furniture in the front room while the painter's at work. Hopefully, I can finish this weekend.
Same here Ken, I'll get these bugs mailed out here in a few...12 GRHE soft hackles and few extra for ya...
Mine are done as well but the only ones I've seen yet are from Halcyon.
How are the rest of you coming along?
I put mine in the mail yesterday. 13 "Tree Farm GRHE's". They are black with red wire. I have had success with them in the dark waters of Lake Hancock. My last fish caught with one was a big brook trout in October.
Kent, I'm hoping you can reuse the box that I sent the flies in. Also, I put in $3 for the shipping. I hope that's enough. This is my first flyswap so I apologize if my swapping procedure is sloppy.
Mine finally are in a box with toe tags, in an envelope, on my desk. Now I just need to make a trip to the post office, which may happen this afternoon, but definitely by tomorrow. Yipppppeeee!
David, got yours in today's mail. Very nice, especially so for a first-time swapper. I'm getting excited to fish some of these beauties . . .
Mike has had to pull out. For those of you who have not yet finished tying, there are now 11 of us in the swap.
Finished tying mine this morning, now need to toe tag and ship 'em off to Kent, should happen this week...
Mine are half complete, I am so damn lazy ! at any rate, mine are green with a black beadhead.

Red Hat, Inc. (RHT) is scheduled to report earnings after the markets close on Tuesday, 3/22/16.
Last quarter, the stock had the following price movement after reporting earnings:
Dec 18, 2015
Dec 17, 2015
(RHT) can be very unpredictable in terms of price movement post-earnings. A few keys to picking a strategy to use is the amount of movement allowed (up or down), strike price increments available, and the cost to place the trade. On this specific (RHT) trade, I think the Neutral Calendar Spread strategy is the right way to play this trade. The break-even points are very wide, and the price is very good. Even if the stock moves $5.00 + or more either way tomorrow, this trade will still do well and hold value even if it moves more than that, so I consider this trade very low risk with great potential. 9.5/10.
Note: I recommend placing this trade as soon as possible, as the value will most likely increase throughout the day. There is a possibility that the trade can be closed out for a profit by the end of the day if filled early. I will post that at the end of the trade details.
Here is how the trade is placed:
Entered Trade
Sell -25 RHT Apr16 75 Call
Buy 25 RHT May16 75 Call
Option Requirement
Total Requirements
Estimated Commission
NBBO 0.40 – 1.10. Try to pay 0.75 or less for this trade. At a maximum, pay up to 0.85 if late.
If there is an opportunity to close out the trade early (taking less profit) if your order is filled at 0.80 or less, place the closing order out at 1.25 as a day order only.
I will post the price to close this order out tomorrow pre-market, right before the opening bell
See the attachment for the profit/loss chart.
Update 1: 9:25 am EST: Pre-market, the stock is down about $2.50/share, so using the Neutral Calendar Spread strategy looks very good here. I am placing the price to close the trade out at 1.90 for now. I will update any changes here, if needed.
Update 2: 1:05 pm EST. This trade is looking excellent right now. Time-decay and the current movement is going to increase value quickly. The price to close the trade out is still at $1.90.

Love it!!!
By keith & tammy on
Vehicle2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewWe searched around looking for the best, most fuel economy car, but that has style and class. We ended up zeroing in on the new 2007 Sentra. The car is just awesome. We have the S with all the upgrades including the CVT and intelligent key. Never realized how much we like the intelligent key as we never have to take my keys out of our pockets to open, start or lock the vehicle. We also love the Rockford Fosgate stereo system. It's a very quiet car inside - no rattles, road noise, just a fantastic vehicle. You definitely should give this vehicle a "serious" look. Totally redesigned!
Best Featuresour favorite features is the intelligent key!
Worst FeaturesAt this point, I cannot offer any thoughts as to how to improve - I guess the only thing I don't care for much is the headlights beep when you open the door and they stay on for 5 minutes before shutting off. We actually have to turn the headlights off when we leave the vehicle.

[Image: Texas longhorn cattle drive, as depicted by Nick Eggenhofer.
The horse may or may not be old but it is not, alas, a paint.]
Let's get the music going right at the outset, and save the background for a moment. Here's Linda Ronstadt singing "Old Paint," which closes her great 1977 album Simple Dreams:
Pretty, no? Now, about that song:
On long trail drives, the old cowboys — so goes the legend — used to calm cattle's nerves at night by riding around the herd's perimeter, whistling or singing softly.* It's a nice story, one I myself choose to accept (regardless of its truth) because it tells about good, kind, simple — and interesting — people and their relationship with animals.
Whether the story is factually true or not, there's a whole genre of music, "cowboy songs" or "Western music," characterized by stories of life moving cattle around on the Plains, sleeping under the stars, sharing everyday life with horses and longhorns, and dreaming about (sometimes) women — often, women the singers had voluntarily left behind. Wikipedia currently lists over sixty such songs, although this is far from complete; one collection devoted to the genre includes music and lyrics for two hundred of them. Lyrics aside, the songs are notable for their easy melodies and their rhythms, which seem geared to a capella renditions sung from the back of a horse. Indeed, Wikipedia notes:
Otto Gary, an early cowboy band leader, stated authentic Western music had only three rhythms, all coming from the gaits of the cowpony — walk, trot, and lope.
One of my favorite recent examples of the "lope" rhythm was Norah Jones's take on "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" (written by Bob Dylan), featured here at RAMH in a whiskey river Friday post a couple of years ago. The guitar comes in first, repeating a seven- or eight-beat rhythm over and over… My first-hand experience with horses — limited to fairground pony rides and such (and I'm not sure it ever included loping) — stopped sometime in the '60s, but even to me that rhythm feels like the rippling roll of a saddled horse's back beneath the rider.
As for the walk…
No one knows when "(I Ride an) Old Paint" originated, or to whom it should be credited. It was collected for several studies of cowboy music around the turn of the 19th to the 20th centuries, so it goes back at least that far. Poet/Historian Carl Sandburg assembled an anthology of American folk tunes in 1927, called The American Songbag; in it, he wrote:
This arrangement is from a song made known by Margaret Larkin of Las Vegas, New Mexico, who intones her own poems or sings cowboy and Mexican songs to a skilled guitar strumming, and by Linn Riggs, poet and playwright, of Oklahoma in particular and the Southwest in general. The song came to them at Santa Fe from a buckaroo who was last heard of as heading for the Border with friends in both Tucson and El Paso.
(Margaret Larkin — per Wikipedia — was was by no means some mere local folkie wandering from saloon to auditorium, as this description makes her out to be, but a well-published author and activist. Likewise, "Linn" Riggs was actually one (Rollie) Lynn Riggs, whose play Green Grows the Lilacs provided the source material for Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!)
As I think I've always heard it, the song consists of three verses, alternating with three choruses. Verse 1 briefly states the singer's circumstances — roaming the plains on an old pony, heading to Montana for a roundup — and the final verse, borderline mawkish, asks that his lifeless body be saddled up one last time and released to roam the land. The second verse, though, is an oddball: not a general sentimental statement, but a story in lurid pulp miniature. That verse's subject, one "old Bill Jones," seems to have fathered a daughter and a son, and his wife "died in a poolroom fight." (Oh, America: you sure do know what to sing about!) But that doesn't stop old Bill, who still wanders the West, singing as he goes…
I really like the song's language, especially in the first verse. It's a saddlebag from beneath whose flaps protrude raggedy bits of trail jargon:
- The paint referred to here is a type of spotted pony, a pinto.
- Old Dan: I've seen this described as a common name for a horse, but this seems like a stretch to me. (Why should the singer name the horse he's leading around, but not the one he rides?) Again, I'm no expert but a more likely explanation is, I think, that the words actually are/were old dam — where dam simply refers to a mare. (In the lyrics page I linked to, I've used dam.)
- Throw the hoolihan (variously spelled — Sandburg says it's hoolian): in rodeo, apparently, bulldogging cowboys used to be allowed to jump on a steer's horns in such a way that the steer's legs buckled, flipping it rather er, ass-over-teakettle. (Yes: jump on its horns. Not that bulldogging in general strikes me as the most humane way to comport with an animal…) This move — since outlawed — was called the hoolihan. Possibly related to this in some way, cowboys also (reportedly) developed a way of tossing a lariat over a horse or steer, a technique also called (and also variously spelled) a houlihan. As with "old Dan/old dam," this lariat toss, rather than the wrestling move, seems the more likely meaning.
- A coulee is a ditch or ravine cut into the landscape by running water; a draw, more or less the same thing — a gully or small canyon.
- Dogies are calves.
- The fiery and the snuffy: again like "old Dan," some interpretations claim that "Fiery" and "Snuffy" are common names for horses. (Yeah, sure. Bend over backwards much?) When I hear or read this phrase, though, I think of two kinds of impatient cows (or maybe horses). The first is the hot-headed untamable type, chafing angrily and perhaps rearing and bucking at restraints actual or circumstantial; the second, a more fearful beast, snorting through its nostrils as it eyes the landscape nervously. (The Pooch does this sometimes on walks, although from her four-inches-high perspective the landscape extends mere yards in a given direction.)
My favorite twist in the lyrics, though, comes in that odd second verse: one went to Denver, the other went wrong. This stands as an actually pretty good example of a figure of speech called a zeugma: a series of terms, the last one of which ostensibly follows but actually breaks the syntactic/grammatical pattern established earlier. (The example I've most often seen goes like this: He took his hat, his coat, and his leave.)
And, well, whaddaya know: Carl Sandburg himself recorded some of the songs in that "songbag," including this week's selection:
(If you followed the link to Sandburg's Songbag book, a few paragraphs back, you may have noticed his claim that the lyrics say old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song. I'm sure this made sense in a poetry-technical sense, as a more exact rhyme for "…and the other went wrong." But it doesn't make a lot of sense on other grounds!)
* The steers probably didn't get the same consideration once they'd arrived at the stockyard.

How often have you played the game where you've imagined how different the world would be if someone from our time went back into history and began shaping the culture?
What if you went back even further, to the time when humans were just discovering fire and figuring out how to use tools? You have the answer; The Tribez has been launched for the iPad.
The Tribez is the newest Adventure & Family game from Game Insight LLC.
Tribez is not just a game! Tribez is an adventure, where you travel to a distant past full of secrets, mysteries and many hours of addictive discovery of an unknown, but beautiful world!
You are invited to visit a mysterious, primitive world inhabited by a peace-loving people, who have been hidden behind a miles-deep portal from time immemorial. Build your own stone-age village, explore territories hidden by mountains and seas, and lead your tribe, who considers you sent by the gods, to prosperity.
Gameplay progresses through a series of quests and timed challenges, so you won't be spending all your time as chief merely clicking on fields and watching meters fill. There are also hidden items to discover in each level, as well as wild animal attacks which you'll have to fend off. Things aren't all doom and gloom though, as The Tribez takes a very light hearted approach. It's much more Flintstones than Terra Nova. Sadly, no word yet on if you can domesticate dinosaurs and turn them into the ancient versions of a telephone or can opener.
Help the leaders of neighbouring tribes, develop your country's economy, discover new lands, populate them with your tribesmen, and tame dinosaurs! Tribez is a world in which you feel alive!
Some of the key features are:
– Gorgeous graphics down to the smallest detail
– Lively animations make the prehistoric world come to life on your iPhone
– Stunning sounds
– Tons of objects, characters, buildings and decorations
– Truly inexhaustible possibilities to develop your own stone-age empire
– Hundreds of captivating quests: search for treasure and artefacts, discover distant islands, expeditions to mysterious caves and much, much more!
What makes The Tribez genuinely pleasant to play is the attention paid to the graphics. Buildings are large and colourful, with designs that get more complex as you level them up. Your islands are full of life, with pterodactyls, small mammals, and brightly coloured insects constantly moving around the map. Even your villagers are surprisingly detailed, which animations for having conversations, eating, or just taking a load off. The Tribe doesn't bring anything new the city builders, but it's a very charming take on a genre that's perfectly suited for tablet play.
You too can download the game for iPad here.

SFU study calls for tobacco companies to clean up their butts
The study is calling for tobacco companies to take the hit and be held accountable for the environmental impact of discarded cigarette butts.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A new study co-authored by a Simon Fraser University health sciences professor is calling for tobacco companies to take the hit and be held accountable for the environmental impact of discarded cigarette butts.
Kelley Lee, who co-authored the study with Washington, D.C.-based Cigarette Butt Pollution Project, says a new regulatory approach is long overdue for addressing the environmental harm caused by cigarette butts.
"We can't just be focusing on picking up a few thousand butts every now and then, putting it on the taxpayers to pay all the cost or blaming the smokers for littering," she told Metro. "We need to mandate tobacco companies to do this through legislation."
For the study, Lee and her colleagues developed a "model tobacco waste act" that they hope governments will adopt requiring tobacco companies be held responsible for the cost and physical process of cleaning up cigarette butts.
According to the study, cigarette butts are one of the most common waste products, with up to five trillion cigarettes disposed of each year worldwide.
One to two-thirds of cigarettes tossed by smokers end up buried in landfills, leeching chemicals into soil, or are washed into storm drains, where they pollute water and often end up being ingested by wildlife, the study found.
Lee said the vast majority of cigarettes sold today contain filters, usually made of cellulose acetate, a type of plastic that can't be broken down.
Tossing cigarette butts also leads to costly clean-up, and sometimes serious emergency situations, she said. Last summer, Vancouver firefighters battled more than 35 grass fires that were sparked by discarded butts.
She said other industries that produce hazardous consumer goods, like paint, fluorescent lights and pharmaceuticals, are legally responsible for the safe disposal of their products.
"Right now, we rely on civically minded people to go out and clean up this mess, but why don't the tobacco companies do it?" she asked. "They're the ones creating this mess."
While she acknowledged that smokers shouldn't be "let off the hook" for littering, Lee argued that tobacco companies that create such an addictive product should ultimately be held responsible for the post-consumer waste.
Still, she said she hopes the act of tossing a cigarette will eventually be viewed as socially unacceptable behaviour, ultimately reducing the number of discarded butts.
"We no longer find it socially acceptable for people to spit on the ground or let their dogs foul the pavement," she said. "But somehow we don't have that for littering cigarette butts, and I'd love to see that in time."

This weekend was our nephew's first birthday. S. is the first baby on either side of the family, his father's side or his mother's side, so needless to say, it's a big deal. I'm proud to say that our nephew is truly, the cutest baby in the world and I have the proof to back this claim.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B, playing badminton with Uncle Jim:
Clearly cuteness runs in the family! And he's insanely smart, no bias. He oinks when he sees a pig, pants when he sees a dog and makes a mock-crying noise when he sees pictures of other babies. It's pretty freaking cute.
S.'s bedroom is decorated in a Yellow Submarine theme, from the imported hand-woven submarine rug to a Yellow Submarine clock and painted walls and furniture to match. Being The Beatles lover that I am, I knew I had to do something big for his first birthday.
The real Yellow Submarine:
S.'s birthday submarine:
A chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, and some marzipan detailing. The rounds above the submarine represent The Sea of Holes, topped with marzipan faces of The Beatles plus a little baby face to represent S. It was a pretty big cake, being two 13×9 sheet cakes together, but only one layer, we were able to put a good dent in it over the weekend. S. won't remember this cake, but there are plenty more cakes to come.
We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine…

What an awesome cake, lucky baby! The closest I've come to anything like this is a yellow submarine puzzle, which is still cool, but I'm willing to bet not anywhere near as delicious.

"One dreadful thing that happens to a person that lives too long is that,by that time all his or her friends will be long gone."
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...
...and you finish off as an orgasm."
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Why is MS software so bloated? MS developer asks
The Register says: because you need to obsolete PCs every 2-3 years...
Microsoft has been asking itself "Why is Microsoft software so bloated, so full of junk, sucking up megs of space on my hard drive, hogging memory, and taking forever to load?" Why indeed. But the answer Microsoft gives in the current issue of its webzine Slate avoids any true response to the questions people have been asking since Windows 3.0 and its applications began to appear. The rhetorical question is nothing but a new PR approach by Microsoft: admit what cannot be denied, make a joke of it, and then try to slip in whoppers in mitigation. The author, Andrew Schuman (no relation to Andrew Schulman of Undocumented DOS and Windows fame) is apparently a "boy developer" at Microsoft and one of those responsible for Outlook 97. But his explanation ("Sadly, it is you, the customer, who demands bloat, forever clamouring for new features") is just untrue, as we all know. That 200 megabytes for MS Office 2000 is there for another purpose: to keep OEMs locked into Microsoft's premature hardware obsolescence programme, which keeps OEMs buying more Windows of course. PCs last for ten years or more, but Microsoft has been using software bloat as a ruse to persuade users to buy new kit every two or three years. This didn't start out as a deliberate strategy - the inefficiency of Microsoft coding just created the natural possibility, which was then encouraged. Happily for the OEMs, they like selling three or four times as many PCs as ought to be necessary too. Microsoft then sold the notion that users needed the latest version of its software, and used its licensing programme and pricing to manipulate OEMs and software vendors into advocating upgrades. Schuman admits: "The day that Redmond fails to convince you to upgrade - i.e. to buy a product that the malcontents call bloated - is the day that Redmond becomes a ghost town." Microsoft deserves better recognition for its programme to obsolete hardware with bloated software. ®

Good News for U.S. Jobs
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in business and financial operations occupations is projected to grow by 17 percent through 2020. Some of these positions will make up for jobs lost during the recession, say officials with the U.S. Bureau of Labor. Plus, increased financial regulations and a need to control costs will drive other jobs.
Our bachelor's degree completion program in business administration offers a broad range of business skills. That's good news because, according to the Occupational Handbook, business graduates who can manage a wide range of responsibilities will fare better than those who specialize.
Get the Skill Set You Need
The bachelor's completion program in business administration will provide you with a core business skill set that you can take into virtually any industry. The skills you cultivate as a manager, leader, critical thinker, decision-maker, and problem solver will work in a range of work settings—from a small entrepreneurial operation to a multinational corporation.
What you learn about business knowledge, ethics, communication skills, teamwork, and the integration of business principles in all facets of our program will support your career advancement.
Grad School or Job Market?
Of course, you may see the degree entry to a master's degree in business administration (MBA). Whether you head to grad school or further up your career ladder, the accreditation of Miller College of Business by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), which is the gold standard in business school accreditation, will be immediately recognizable to prospective graduate schools or prospective employers.

Agricultural Appraiser
Determine the value of farms and ranches.
What does an Agricultural Appraiser do?
Everyone knows that tractors, chickens, cows, barns, and crops are worth money. But even the Farmer might not be sure precisely how much each item is worth. Agricultural Appraisers, on the other hand, can provide a clear and accurate picture of the value of the land and all of its implements. As an Agricultural Appraiser, you spring into action when the farm is mortgaged, sold, insured, or developed.
In the past, Agricultural Appraisers did much of their work in the field, measuring and taking pictures. Now, you can do much of your work from the comfort of your fresh-smelling office.
You look at aerial maps and determine the boundaries of the farm, and you look up sales records to determine how much it was worth in the past. Also, you determine how much equipment is typically selling for at the moment. With this research under your belt, you're ready for a visit.
On the farm, you look at the land and write down notes about any unique features you find. Perhaps the barn was built in the 1800s, and it has added value due to its old age. Or, perhaps the cows are heritage types that make tasty steaks, and they're worth slightly more as a result.
Once you're done compiling notes, you determine the final value of the farm and all of its contents. Then, you write a report detailing everything you found, and you provide a copy to the Farmer and the Banker or Insurance Agent who requested the information.

Not masterful, but still classic Dylan
By GREG HAYMES
Staff writer
ALBANY … It wasn't one of those masterful, revelatory Dylan concerts, but it wasn't bad, either.
Decked out in a black suit with bold white piping and sporting a black gaucho hat, Bob Dylan settled into the Times Union Center on Saturday night before a crowd of about 7,000 fans who spanned several generations.
I guess we're going to have to amend that Voice of a Generation descriptor.
Launching into his opening "Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat," Dylan and his crack band (wearing matching maroon-colored suits) were at their best when they were rocking the blues. Led by bassist Tony Garnier and Texas guitarslinger Denny Freeman, Dylan's five-piece backing band rocked hard on the basic blues tunes old ("Highway 61 Revisited") and new ("Rollin' and Tumblin''").
Although Dylan's voice sounded more ragged and graveled than ever, he certainly wasn't resting on his laurels with his song selection. He played at least a half dozen songs from his latest album, last year's "Modern Times," and the rollicking jump blues-meets-rockabilly rendition of "Summer Days" was the highlight of the night.
In his effort to continually re-invent his vast catalog of songs, Dylan definitely tossed in several curveballs during Saturday's 16-song setlist.
There was the swirling, jam-band guitar solo that capped "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." There was the strange, cha-cha-like re-arrangement of "Simple Twist of Fate." And there was the slinky, Gypsy-inspired rendition of his Academy Award winning "Things Have Changed," with the actual Oscar sitting on top of a case just behind Dylan, as it always does.
Dylan still makes great records, and his new 3-CD greatest hits compilation … titled simply "Dylan" … can fill you in on your favorites that he didn't get around to playing on Saturday. But he's always been something of a crapshoot in concert, and at the Times Union Center he didn't really hit the mark until late in his two-hour show.
Elvis Costello was more of an opening act than a co-billed headliner, and his solo performance was only 45 minutes long, but it was solid right from the start, strumming up a storm on "The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes." Costello, too, mixed numerous older tunes into his set, including a rousing "Oliver's Army" and "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding?"
But he also served up a pair of Coward Brothers tunes (his collaboration with Midas touched
producer-songwriter T Bone Burnett) and earned some of the loudest applause of the night by slipping from "Radio Sweetheart" into a rousing version of Van Morrison's soul-soaked "Jackie Wilson Said."
Starting off the evening at 7 p.m. was young singer-songwriter Amos Lee, who managed to hold his own on the bill with the intimidating Dylan and Costello, thanks to a versatile backing quartet who could churn up the rock ("Supply and Demand") as well as the moody, roots-centric "Black River."
BOB DYLAN AND HIS BAND with Elvis Costello and Amos Lee
When: 7 p.m. Saturday
Where: The Times Union Center, 51 South Pearl St., Albany
Musical highlights: "Summer Days," "Masters of War," "All Along the Watchtower"
Length: Dylan … 2 hours; Costello … 45 minutes; Lee … 35 minutes
The crowd: About 7,000, which because the upper deck was curtained off, was just about a full house.

WWII-era Grumman Widgeon involved in fatal Hudson crash
72-year-old aviator owned 1940s vintage Grumman aircraft
Updated 10:00 pm, Friday, May 3, 2013
Divers pulled the body of a Copake man from the Hudson River on Friday in the area where his plane crashed and sank the day before.
State Police identified the pilot of the antique plane as Michael Braunstein, 72.
His body was removed from a debris field in 20 feet of water. The remnants of his plane are still underwater.
Sonar revealed a debris field that spans about 100 square feet, State Police Capt. Robert Nuzzo said. It is just to the east of the main shipping channel, he said. The plane broke into pieces upon impact; divers located the tail section, he said.
Braunstein owned the plane, which police believe is a 70-year-old military amphibious aircraft, a Grumman G-44A Widgeon. The vintage plane can land in the water on its belly.
The Federal Aviation Administration is on the scene to confirm the identity of the plane. According to FAA records, Braunstein has a C/G-73 type rating, a special certification that would allow him to pilot some types of vintage Grumman aircraft. He was a certified Air Transport Pilot, the highest level of aircraft pilot under FAA certification.
Nuzzo said authorities believe Braunstein took off from a private landing strip, possibly a field or a pond. Braunstein was the owner of Copake Lake Seaplane Base, a private airstrip on Copake Lake. Nuzzo said Braunstein left his home at 4 p.m. Thursday, a half-hour before the crash.
Visibility in the water was limited, Nuzzo said. The currents complicated the effort, and divers worked to take advantage of a lull in the current between 4 and 5 p.m.
It is too early to tell when the main body of the plane will be lifted out of the river by a salvage company under the direction of the FAA. Nuzzo said flotation devices may be attached to pieces of the plane to lift them to the river's surface.
The crash happened about 4:30 p.m. Thursday when a small plane apparently nosedived, according to State Police Capt. Robert Patnaude. The small two-engine passenger plane exploded and sank quickly into the water, authorities and witnesses said. A witness said the plane was northbound when it suddenly dropped out of the sky and hit the water, where it flipped, blew up and quickly went under.
Divers could not immediately enter the water because fuel covered the area. The current carried the wreckage of the plane away from the spot where it hit.
Braunstein's body was removed from the scene and an autopsy to determine his cause of death is pending.
Anyone who spots debris on the river is asked to call (518) 622-8600 to report it to State Police in the Catskill office.

Countless conspiracy theories have been advanced after the grisly and senseless murders at Sandy Hook. From dead children ostensibly filmed alive days after the shootings and mourning fathers inexplicably laughing before news cameras, to the incredible claim that
the whole event was staged and never actually took place, the American public has been assailed by any number of loons with a personal or group axe to grind. (1) In the first instance, all over the United States school children are being taken out of their classrooms, put on buses and sent...

"...and thousnands of nanny-state and and power-hungry politicians will forfeit far more than their offices when the American people finally say enough!"
It's possible that those words reflect a wish rather than any semblance of reality.
"The American People" no longer exist.
There might be some Americans around but their influence is being diluted by an influx of people who believe in rock-ribbed, nitty-gritty, aggressive socialism that is repelled by any thought of an "American" system, based on the Constitution.
If it is to be, it better happen soon because America is running out of Americans and the time when Americans are a minority in America is approaching like a speeding freight train!!!
I see no indication that the American public is inclined to act against government crime and corruption. 47% seem to think that it's just fine and dandy, and a number of the remainder are trying to figure out how to get in on the action.
Obama is an empty-suit puppet who can't even speak w/o the pre-written text fed him via a teleprompter. I doubt he possess the mental facilities to concoct such an intricate plan nor would he smart enough to implement it. Not that those pulling the strings couldn't, but in my opinion they would need a much smarter puppet to pull it off. President Odumbo isn't that man.
That's why they have Valerie Jarrett.
Petraeus, the Admirals and Generals removed, then no bolts in the Marine's rifles at the inaugeration, brings up numerous questions that makes you wonder if there is not something patriotic slowly working in the background.
When One party dominates any span of time—it gets corrupt and bloated and insensitive to the will of the people. Democrat, Whig, Federalist, Democtatic-Republican or Republican. Once the people catch on they are tossed from power. This will happen to the Progressives in time. The cracks are starting in the grand structure of Media/Unions/Socialist Colleges/ and Leftist Democrats/ and Socialists is starting to wear thin. It will take a while but the corruption will undermine things and they will fall.

| Welcome to Hokey Pokey. A place and a time, when childhood is at its best: games to play, bikes to ride, experiences to be had. There are no adults in Hokey Pokey, just kids, and the laws governing Hokey Pokey are simple and finite. But when one of the biggest kids, Jack, has his beloved bike stolen--and by a girl, no less--his entire world, and the world of Hokey Pokey, turns to chaos. Without his bike, Jack feels like everything has started to go wrong. He feels different, not like himself, and he knows something is about to change. And even more troubling he alone hears a faint train whistle. But that's impossible: every kid knows there no trains in Hokey Pokey, only tracks.Master storyteller Jerry Spinelli has written a dizzingly inventive fable of growing up and letting go, of leaving childhood and its imagination play behind for the more dazzling adventures of adolescence, and of learning to accept not only the sunny part of day, but the unwelcome arrival of...

North Dakota's top leaders have asked a U.S. District Court judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage, outlining its legal case for retaining a prohibition that's rapidly disappearing in the U.S.
In a motion filed Tuesday to dismiss the case, North Dakota Solicitor General Douglas Bahr argued that the U.S. Constitution leaves it up to individual states to define marriage.
"This case is really about who decides, not who is right in this important policy debate," Bahr wrote in the brief on behalf of Gov. Jack Dalrymple and several other top state officials named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. "Under the United States Constitution, the people of North Dakota decide the definition of marriage for the State of North Dakota."
Seven same-sex couples challenged the state constitution's ban — which voters approved by a wide margin in 2004 — in early June, making North Dakota the final state to see a challenge to such bans. The couples argued that the state's ban unconstitutionally denies them the same rights and benefits granted to couples of different gender.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act last summer, making married same-sex partners eligible for federal benefits, a string of judges have ruled that state prohibitions outlawing gay marriage are unconstitutional.
In all 23 court rulings on the subject in the U.S. since the federal law was struck down last summer, judges have sided with proponents of same-sex matrimony, according to Freedom to Marry, an advocacy group in favor of gay marriage. Same-sex marriage is legal in 19 states, and there are pending rulings legalizing it in 12 more states, according to the advocacy group.
The latest such ruling came Tuesday in Kentucky, where a federal judge struck down the state ban.
But in a 36-page brief supporting the motion to dismiss the lawsuit in North Dakota, Bahr argued that the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor v. United States affirmed states' right to define marriage themselves. That case stemmed from a clash between the federal government's ban on same-sex marriage and New York's own recognition of gay couples.
The plaintiffs' "challenge to North Dakota's definition of marriage invites the Court to make the same error committed by Congress … by creating a federal intrusion on state power," Bahr wrote. "Windsor affirms that North Dakota's laws defining marriage deserve this court's respect and deference."
In its brief, the state outlined some reasons why it might rationally want to outlaw same-sex marriage.
Though it grants there is scientific evidence on both sides of the debate, Bahr argued that states may believe heterosexual couples are more suitable for procreation and childrearing than same-sex couples.
The seven couples challenging North Dakota's ban also asserted the state must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Nineteen states, including Minnesota, and Washington, D.C., recognize same-sex marriage.
But the state argued that claim is wrong, because North Dakota's law does not "treat any of the plaintiffs differently from any other North Dakota resident."
Bahr also argued that the state may want to take a "wait-and-see approach" as a wave of new laws and judicial decisions in other states legalize gay marriage.
"No society has yet had a generation's worth of experience permitting same-sex marriage. Other states' experience with same-sex marriage could provide valuable practical data about the effects of same-sex marriage," Bahr wrote. "North Dakota could rationally decide to wait until it obtains more information about the effects of same-sex marriage before deciding to permit it in North Dakota."

CORVALLIS - A multi-agency task force looking for the cause of an unusually high rate of cancer in trout at an Oregon State University research laboratory this spring is continuing to investigate the problem.
A fact sheet has been published to help area residents better understand the situation and what steps the task force is taking to address it.
The fact sheet is available by calling John McEvoy, Linn County Health Department, 541-967-3821; Robert Wilson, Benton County Health Department, 541-766-6841; or Duncan Gilroy, Oregon Health Division, 503-731-4015.
The Department of Environmental Quality recently tested the lab's well water and found no contaminants. Testing of tissues from the affected fish revealed no clues either, said Larry Curtis, chair of the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at OSU and chair of the task force.
"It is very possible that what has triggered the two episodes that we know about is intermittent - and conceivably related to seasonally high water," Curtis said. "We may have a better shot at identifying the contaminant if we get a period of unusually wet weather."
In December of 1998, a contaminant killed thousands of rainbow trout in the OSU research lab, located one mile east of Corvallis off Highway 34. This spring, researchers at the lab discovered a number of symptoms in the fish, including high mortality, altered growth, anemia and other physical deformities. After conducting autopsies, they discovered cancerous tumors at a rate 100 times higher than normal.
The university immediately notified the Department of Environmental Quality, the Oregon Health Division, and the Linn and Benton county health departments. A task force comprised of representatives of those agencies and OSU was formed.
"It may be quite a while before we have the information we need to fully evaluate the potential health risks," said Grant Higginson, health officer with the Oregon Health Division in Portland. "Until more facts are known, we are encouraging people with private wells in the area to consider using bottled water for drinking and cooking, as a precaution."
The task force is continuing to investigate the water source and fish tissues. Scientists also are studying the shallow aquifer that provides well water to the area.
Gilroy, state toxicologist for the OHD, coordinated the publication of the fact sheet.

Wigan Man of the Match Vs Spurs
Its time to vote for your Wigan Athletic man of the match in the Latics game against Spurs at the JJB yesterday which was a very entertaining 1-1 draw.
Spurs took and early lead has Berbatov kept up his scoring record against the Latics but we were back on level terms within 5 minutes when Heskey turned and swept home past Cerny in the Spurs goal following a cross from Kilbane.
As far as good performances go Palacios, Melchiot, Bent and Kirkland had fine games, if it wasn`t for Bents appalling miss which would have won the game for the Latics I would have gone for him but for me the man of the match had to be Vital Wigans favourite son Wilson Palacios.
He ran none stop throughout the game and was involved in most things that the Latics did, but it aint up to me so please make your choice and vote in the poll
