I was a long time coming to the realization of the vast scope and variety of alpine plants. There are many of them that are easy to grow, if given the right conditions.

|Hi Allison. I am having so much fun learning about these new (for me) plants. I am so hooked on them that I hauled some across several states while on our road trip. I brought home two flats of new things to try. I hope to get them all in the beds within the next week.
Penstemon mexicali 'Pikes Peak Purple'
A miniature Columbine called Aquilegia scopulorum. It only get about 3 or 4 inches tall.
I need to finish cropping the rest of the photos. I got some really great photos of alping/rock garden plants at the Denver Botanical Gardens.

|Thanks for sharing your impressive knowledge about alpines, Lynn. I'd never heard of Polygala chamaebuxus and am fascinated by it. Although I garden in Zone 5, we've had Zone 6-7 winters for the past several years, so I'm tempted to try it. I'll have to see if I can find a place for it where I can create the proper growing conditions.

|Your article was of great interest to me as I have just started getting into alpines.
I had taken out the grass on a sunny corner and am in the process of creating an alpine garden there.
I had not come across some of the plants in your article.

|Larry, I was so excited when I found that tiny little sub shrub. It was a beacon in the bed all winter. It held the little flower buds through winter and they started opening when spring arrived. Very long bloom time. It will be interesting to see how it does in the next year.
Allison here is another penstemon for you. : )
Pentstemon nitidus, isn't it the sweetest little thing?
Caroline, we just got back from a road trip. One of the highlights was a visit to the Denver Botanical Gardens. There alpine plants are amazing. I was able to take photos of two new beds they are in the process of creating. One is in the planting stage, the other is still in the building stage. It was very interesting to see how they did then. I wish I had the time and money to do something like this.

|I loved reading your article. I am not going to get into any more plants, but I have enjoyed seeing them through your eyes. They are beautiful.
May 8, 2012 8:54 PM CST
|Thank you so much Sandi. Maybe you'll change your mind down the road. : )
May 8, 2012 9:04 PM CST
|Oh I hope not, I have too many plants to take care of now!
May 8, 2012 9:14 PM CST
|I understand. I would love to downsize the size of our property to just raised beds. : )
May 8, 2012 9:31 PM CST
|I'll just enjoy yours for now!
May 8, 2012 9:41 PM CST
|Thank you Sandi. I'll try to add some more photos here in the threads. : )
Tulipa chrysantha is a tiny species tulip that works very well in the raised beds. I have to research this name further, not sure it is a correct name. Just checked, correct name is:
Tulipa clusiana var. chrysantha
Lady Tulip (Tulipa clusiana)

|Look what I found in the Alpine bed yesterday. This brilliant little bloom just appeared. I can see down in the grassy leaves many more tiny bright pink buds, just waiting to come into view.

If you are visiting us as an outpatient for a consultation, tests or a scan, please visit the Outpatients section.
Click on the links below to learn about what you can expect as a day-case patient.
The more information you are able to give us before you arrive, the better. Once you are here, you can relax in the knowledge that you are getting the best possible care – tailored to you.
Please note that if you are an insured patient, you will need to contact your insurance company to tell them about coming to us and to gain their authorisation in advance.
It is very important that we collect current and accurate information from you so that your admission runs smoothly. Please access here:Registration form
Your login when prompted is PGH/7000
We require this information before your admission date to enable a full review and to ensure that any medical issues are identified preventing a delay in treatment. Please access here: Health assessment

If you will require an interpreter during your visit, please contact our pre-admissions staff before you arrive and they will arrange for one. You can contact them on 020 7908 3650.
If you're visiting the hospital to have surgery, you'll need to prepare for the type of anaesthetic that you're due to have. There are three kinds:
Visit the Anaesthetic and sedation page to learn more about this.
Please check with your consultant well ahead of your appointment to find out whether you need to fast.
Fasting means not eating or drinking, and it is usually necessary before operations and certain other medical procedures. Your consultant will tell you how far ahead of your admission you need to start fasting.
If you are concerned or unsure about fasting, please speak to your consultant.
Please bring, if appropriate:
Don't worry about bringing towels, as we provide these. If you need glasses, please bring them with you. Contact lenses will need to be removed before your procedure.
If you find that you cannot avoid bringing valuables into the hospital, please make sure they are fully covered by your own insurance. You may secure small personal items of value in the hospital safe, and you'll need to sign for these in triplicate. You can access the safe between 9.00am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.
So that you feel relaxed, please try to arrive at the time stated in your letter.
The main reception staff will show you to the admissions office, where you'll speak to an admissions officer and be formally admitted. You can then be taken to the day care unit or your room,where you'll be able to ask any questions about your procedure.
You'll probably have questions, and you might also feel anxious; our nurses will be able to reassure you and keep you fully informed about what to expect. Please don't hesitate to speak to them about any concerns you have.
During your stay with us, you'll not only benefit from the highest standards of medical treatment but also from the respectful and attentive care of our staff. Each of them takes personal responsibility for making your time with us as positive as possible.

If at any point you feel concerned about anything, or you simply want to find out more about your treatment, let our nursing staff know and they will arrange for you to speak to your consultant.
Whatever you need during your stay – whether that's medical assistance or help using any of our facilities – our nursing and multi-disciplinary staff will be your first point of contact. They will do their best to help you, so please do not hesitate to ask them for anything.
If, following your procedure, you have any wounds, the nursing staff will help you with these and advise on how to look after them once you leave us. We'll also arrange a follow-up appointment, if you need one, to ensure that you're healing and recuperating as well as possible.
We want to be sure that you leave us when you're fully ready, so your consultant will decide your departure date and time.
If you've had a procedure involving local anaesthetic, you might not feel well enough to drive or take public transport. We recommend that you arrange for someone to come and collect you. If this isn't possible, we'll arrange a taxi for you.
If you've had a sedation or general anaesthetic you should always be driven home by somebody else – even if you feel fine. You'll also need to arrange for a friend or relative to stay with you for 24 hours.
To increase your chances of a full and speedy recovery, give yourself plenty of time to recover from a general anaesthetic and try to increase your activity levels gradually. Your consultant will be able to give you the best advice on the timescales of your recuperation, and when it is best to return to work.
If you have any concerns once you've returned home, please make sure that you call us. Your consultant or the ward staff will be happy to help you with any questions – big or small.
You can contact us at any time on +44 (0)20 3504 7536.
If you need to take medication following your procedure, we can prescribe this for you before you leave so that you can take it home with you. Please note that such medication usually falls outside medical insurance arrangements.
Any X-rays you had during your treatment are your property and are important for any follow-up visits you may have, so please remember to take them home with you.
Before you go home, don't forget to collect any medicines or valuables that you brought in with you.
You might not feel up to carrying what you arrived with, and after an operation it is crucial not to do too much, so we will help you with your luggage when you leave.
Before you leave, you'll need to settle your account for any extra charges such as phone calls, newspapers and visitors' meals. You can do this by visiting the Cashier's Office on the ground floor. Please don't hesitate to ask us if you need any help with this.
If you leave outside office hours, or you just don't feel well enough to settle your account at the time of leaving, we can send you the outstanding balance for anything that is charged separately.

With oil now above $50 a barrel, Jim Cramer was shocked that commodities have performed much better than expected this year.
To get a read on the charts, Cramer spoke with Carley Garner, a technician and commodities expert who is the co-founder of DeCarley Trading and a colleague of Cramer's at RealMoney.com.
To find out where commodities could be headed, Garner looked at the charts of the most widely monitored commodity indices, the Goldman Sachs index and the Dow Jones commodity index.
Garner's research in the charts found that commodities could head even higher. Only this time, oil and gas won't lead the charge. It will be led by grains, meats and maybe metals.
Garner warned that the Goldman Sachs index doesn't always paint a clear picture of commodities, because it is heavily weighted towards oil and gas. Nevertheless, she thinks if the index can break out of its next barrier at $380, it could run all the way to the mid-$400s from there.

|how nifty & delicious
So I'm moving to Australia temporarily for possibly a year. Hah It really just depends on how well finding work goes, that's why I'm saying possibly.
I have tons of clothes to sort through, some to give away, some to store, and some to pack. Its pretty stressful but I'm so excited for a bit of change!
Of course I'm going to continue selling marshmallows, just from a different location. Starting Sunday I will temporarily be on vacation mode. Have a nice week :)

From a long time astrologers were looking for Shatabdi Panchang. Till now whichever Panchangs were available they had become outdated and there used to be a question mark on the accuracy of those Panchangs and the information about Tithi and other planets was also missing. Specially the information about calculations of necessary fasts and festivals was also not mentioned. Therefore those Panchangs were incomplete. In addition to that only the letters of Hindi script were used in those Panchangs. Those readers who are versed with English script only were finding it difficult to understand numbers of Hindi Panchang. Therefore for catering this need Future Point has created easy to understand "Shatabdi Panchang". Its credibility and accuracy in determining fasts and festivals is unquestionable as the calculations are based on authentic Shastras like Nirnay-Sindhu and Dharma-Sindhu.
In nutshell we can say that that this Panchang shall not only prove helpful for astrologers but also for the common man for getting authentic information regarding fasts and festivals. This book is based on most accurate astrology software of Future Point which is well acclaimed globally for its accuracy. Therefore, all the information given in this Panchang is absolutely accurate. No typing mistakes are possible since it is produced by computer without manual handling of data. This makes the Panchang credible and accurate.
In this Panchang Tithis have been given along with planetary degree after a regular interval of 10 days for 101 years. All important Tithi like Amavasya(dark moon), purnima (full moon) including for eclipses and the rise, combustion, retrograde and direct motion of all planets have been given.
All festivals are given on the longitude of Ujjain i.e. 82°30'. In addition to that the calculations for the determination of festivals have also been done on the basis of longitude & latitude of Delhi & a * mark is put in front of it if this festival gets celebrated in Delhi on first day. If there is no mark in front of Tithi of festival then the festival shall be celebrated in Delhi & Ujjain on the same day. If a festival has to be celebrated on next day in Delhi then it would be marked as +.
About Festivals it is specially considered that they are as per the guidelines of Dharma Sindhu. The accuracy of its calculation has been checked several times so that there does not remain any mistake. Therefore we hope that this Shatabdi panchang shall prove to be a mile stone in the unification of panchang festivals.
Finally we express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Shri Suresh Atrey (Ludhiana) without which the publication of this Panchang was not possible probably. We are thankful to him for his substantial contribution in the determination of date & timing of fasts & festivals.
Valuable suggestions for the further improvement of this Panchang are solicited.

|Shock wave/boundary-layer interactions (SWBLIs) are complex flow phenomena that are important in the design and performance of internal supersonic and transonic flow fields such as engine inlets. This investigation was undertaken to study the effects of passive flow control devices on normal shock wave/boundary layer interactions in an effort to gain insight into the physics that govern these complex interactions. The work concentrates on analyzing the effects of vortex generators (VGs) as a flow control method by contributing a greater understanding of the flowfield generated by these devices and characterizing their effects on the SWBLI. The vortex generators are utilized with the goal of improving boundary layer health (i.e., reducing/increasing the boundary-layer incompressible shape factor/skin friction coefficient) through a SWBLI, increasing pressure recovery, and reducing flow distortion at the aerodynamic interface plane while adding minimal drag to the system. The investigation encompasses experiments in both small-scale and large-scale inlet testing, allowing multiple test beds for improving the characterization and understanding of vortex generators. Small-scale facility experiments implemented instantaneous schlieren photography, surface oil-flow visualization, pressure-sensitive paint, and particle image velocimetry to characterize the effects of an array of microramps on a normal shock wave/boundary-layer interaction. These diagnostics measured the time-averaged and instantaneous flow organization in the vicinity of the microramps and SWBLI. The results reveal that a microramp produces a complex vortex structure in its wake with two primary counter-rotating vortices surrounded by a train of Kelvin- Helmholtz (K-H) vortices. A streamwise velocity deficit is observed in the region of the primary vortices in addition to an induced upwash/downwash which persists through the normal shock with reduced strength. The microramp flow control also increased the spanwise-averaged skin-friction coefficient and reduced the spanwise-averaged incompressible shape factor, thereby improving the health of the boundary layer. The velocity in the near-wall region appears to be the best indicator of microramp effectiveness at controlling SWBLIs. Continued analysis of additional micro-vortex generator designs in the small-scale facility revealed reduced separation within a subsonic diffuser downstream of the normal shock wave/boundary layer interaction. The resulting attached flow within the diffuser from the micro-vortex generator control devices reduces shock wave position and pressure RMS fluctuations within the diffuser along with increased pressure recovery through the shock and at the entrance of the diffuser. The largest effect was observed by the micro-vortex generators that produce the strongest streamwise vortices. High-speed pressure measurements also indicated that the vortex generators shift the energy of the pressure fluctuations to higher frequencies. Implementation of micro-vortex generators into a large-scale, supersonic, axisymmetric, relaxed-compression inlet have been investigated with the use of a unique and novel flow-visualization measurement system designed and successfully used for the analysis of both upstream micro-VGs (MVGs) and downstream VGs utilizing surface oil-flow visualization and pressure-sensitive paint measurements. The inlet centerbody and downstream diffuser vortex-generator regions were imaged during wind-tunnel testing internally through the inlet cowl with the diagnostic system attached to the cowl. Surface-flow visualization revealed separated regions along the inlet centerbody for large mass-flow rates without vortex generators. Upstream vortex generators did reduce separation in the subsonic diffuser, and a unique perspective of the flowfield produced by the downstream vortex generators was obtained. In addition, pressure distributions on the inlet centerbody and vortex generators were measured with pressure-sensitive paint. At low mass-flow ratios the onset of buzz occurs in the large-scale low-boom inlet. Inlet buzz and how it is affected by vortex generators was characterized using shock tracking through high-speed schlieren imaging and pressure fluctuation measurements. The analysis revealed a dominant low frequency oscillation at 21.0 Hz for the single-stream inlet, corresponding with the duration of one buzz cycle. Pressure oscillations prior to the onset of buzz were not detected, leaving the location where the shock wave triggers large separation on the compression spike as the best indicator for the onset of buzz. The driving mechanism for a buzz cycle has been confirmed as the rate of depressurization and repressurization of the inlet as the buzz cycle fluctuates between an effectively unstarted (blocked) inlet and supercritical operation (choked flow), respectively. High-frequency shock position oscillations/pulsations (spike buzz) were also observed throughout portions of the inlet buzz cycle. The primary effect of the VGs was to trigger buzz at a higher mass-flow ratio.

Boosting Media Presence With Trinix
Marquette University High School's students are among the best in the nation, but their social media presence showed a much different picture.
We started working with them on creating a media presence to further their connection to current students, alumni, and to drive donations. Their media campaigns didn't stop at social media though and we were ready. The project scope has expanded in to include application design (Coupon systems, media tracking features), public relations services, and eye catching designs for community wide campaigns.

After a troublesome Canadian Grand Prix last weekend, where tyre management proved a problem for the McLaren F1 team, Fernando Alonso is looking to find improvements at the all new Baku City Circuit and hopefully finish in the points.
"The Canada race weekend started relatively well, but in the race we were outpaced by stronger teams. It was difficult to maintain heat in the tyres in cooler temperatures, which meant they didn't perform as well, so we struggled to keep up with the guys in front.
"Some of Baku's characteristics are similar, and despite being a street circuit will still be very demanding on power units and chassis. But, we'll attack the weekend in our usual way, and keep pushing for more improvements in each session."
The Spaniard is also looking forward to experiencing the excitement and adventure that arise from visiting an all new venue, and the unknown variants that come with it.
"I'm already really looking forward to getting out on track for the first time in Baku on Friday. The track layout is a really impressive hybrid of the buzz of a street circuit, with its tight narrow streets and close racing, and a more traditional track, where there are high speeds and solid overtaking opportunities.
As Baku Ambassador, Alonso has had the opportunity to see the plans and the new layout come together, and having also driven the track on the simulator, the double world champion is looking forward to the challenging race we should have in prospect.
"This circuit is a great mix of both worlds, and as the fastest of any previous street track, I'm excited for the challenge and to see what's possible in these kinds of conditions, where everything is a little bit unknown.
"I've already driven the track on the simulator and there's certainly a lot that makes it unique – medieval walls close to the edge of the newly-laid asphalt, anti-clockwise corners, minimal run-off – so it seems to have all of the ingredients to give us a bit of drama and the prospect of exciting racing."
It will be a tough race in Baku for the McLaren Honda boys, with the tracks very long straights, but they are prepared and ready to push to the maximum the MP4-31 and its engine will allow.

Does this ring a bell?:
– "They live in their own little world. How are we going to do this in the time they want?"
– "They always say "Yes" and then just sit on it."
– "I just don't know what they expect. You give it to them and they just complain."
How can you sort this kind of problem out?
"I really don't know what their role is … or why they even exist!"
Familiar, right?
Many Learning and Development solutions consist of sending people on team building exercises. They often don't work because the conflict issues are either skated over or brushed aside as nobody wants to, or dare, rock the boat.
All 'boundary problems' are communication problems requiring specific methods in thoroughly prepared interventions.
Perceptions, expectation sharing and role negotiation, all aimed at measurable action plans, are among the different ways I improve communication in companies.

Basic PC architecture
The basic components that make your PC work
Okay, a little while ago I asked for input on what guides to write next and thank all of you for a lot of reactions! Most asked for were graphics cards, motherboards, SSDs and a basic overview. I will address all of these (and more) in separate writeups, but to be able to understand why one component may be better than another we'll need to do the overview first.
Basic components
I think most of us know what the basic components inside the computer are but I'll list them first and then go into detail on each of them:
- The processor or CPU
- The mainboard with all it's components / chips.
- The memory
- The PCI Express slots (discussed in a separate article here )
- The harddisk and/or SSD (to be discussed in 2 upcoming writeups)
- The graphics card (discussed in a separate article here )
- The power supply or PSU (discussed in a separate article here )
The CPU, mainboard and memory are closely tied together so we'll be discussing these three in this article. Your choice of CPU architecture determines what type of mainboard you'll need and mainboard architectures between AMD and Intel are different. The CPU choice also determines the type of memory you'll need.
The mainboard (AMD)
For AMD mainboards we'll mostly be talking about the latest generation of socket AM3+ mainboards. Most of the design however is identical to older AMD mainboards. Please bear in mind that the only real AM3+ boards are the ones with an AMD 9xx based chipset. When we talk about the various features of AMD boards here we are referring to 9xx based boards. If you have an older chipset you may not have all of these features.
AMD based mainboards have 2 chips that comprise the mainboard chipset: the northbridge chip and the southbridge chip.
The Northbridge
The northbridge on AMD mainboards is mainly home to the PCI express controller. This chip therefore determines how many total PCI express lanes can be used on a particular mainboard. This is why 990FX boards can do x16/x16 dual graphics and 990X and 970 boards can only do x8/x8 or single x16 graphics. The northbridge also houses the IOMMU unit which is a type of memory controller that allows other chips direct access to the computer's main memory in a flexible manner.
The Southbridge
The southbridge on AMD mainboards houses the AMD SATA controller, AMD USB2 controller, the controller for the legacy PCI bus and hosts and several single lane PCI express connections. It also connects to the onboard audio chip on the mainboard and the onboard network controller(s) on the mainboard as well as the legacy I/O controller chip which houses things like the old parellel printer port, serial port and PS/2 mouse/keyboard connectors. The way these items are wired up to the southbridge is either via an internal PCI bus connection or an internal PCI express connection. To the operating systems these devices appear the
same way as when they would be on an expansion card in a PCI or PCI express slot.
In AMD architecture the CPU houses the memory controller and so the CPU connects directly to the DIMM slots from it's socket. The CPU also connects directly to the northbridge chip but communicates with the southbridge chip and any devices wired to it via the northbridge chip. For reference, here is a schematic overview of how it all ties together:
In AMD architecture the connection between the CPU and the northbridge is what is called a HyperTransport link. This name is not unique to this connection, in multiprocessor (multiprocessor, not multicore!) AMD systems the links between the processors are also HyperTransport links.
The communication link between the northbridge and southbridge chips is called Alink Express (version 3 in the case of the 9 series chipsets). This name is unique to that specific connection.
The mainboard (Intel Sandy Bridge socket LGA 1155 with P67/Z68 chipset)
One of the things you'll immediately notice when looking at the Intel mainboard diagram is the absence of a northbridge chip:
Sandy Bridge socket 1155 systems don't have a northbridge chip and instead the PCI express connections that are used for the graphics card(s) run directly from the CPU to the slots. The southbridge chip connects directly to the CPU and houses the same basic functionality as the southbridge chip in AMD based systems.
On the 1155 platform the link between the CPU and the northbridge (Z68/P67) chip is called a DMI link. This same link is used on the older X58 enthusiast platform for communication between the northbridge and southbridge chips.
The mainboard (Intel socket 1366 with X58 chipset)
The older (but still very much up to date for it's age) socket 1366 with the X58 chipset strongly resembles the current AMD architecture. There is a Northbridge and a Southbridge chip, both of which house the same basic functionality as they do in the AMD Northbridge and Southbridge chips.
The mainboard (Intel Sandy Bridge Extreme, socket LGA 2011 with X79 chipset)
Sandy Bridge E with the new and massive socket LGA 2011 as well as the new X79 chipset is a lot beefier than the mainstream LGA 1155 platform in almost every respect. It has a high number of PCI Express lanes running directly from the processor, double the memory bandwidth and the processors come in quad and hexacore variants. The CPUs all have 10MB cache, an almost 67% increase over the mainstream Core i5! The PCI Express controller on the CPU die is wired up slightly differently so that it has lower latency than it's older Sandy Bridge counterpart and does a speedy 1GB/s per PCI Express lane of which it has a total of 40! The diagram shows a clear difference in all the stuff connecting directly to the CPU although the X79 Southbridge has the same facilities as the current P67 and Z68 chipsets. The exception here is probably the SSD caching feature although that appears to be an all-software solution that is programmed to work only on Z68.

Hey there! Whatcha working on? I'm working on this...
|Like my new KnitPicks needles? I can get them local at Fiberlilly,
one of my Local Yarn Stores (LYS) These particular ones
are presents from a Christmas gift certificate. Thanks, Sis!
I started a new knitting project on New Years Eve as I decided that I should have a new project going into 2015. I hope to finish it in 2015 too. It's the free Calbuco Cardigan pattern from Tangle. This is the second pattern I've knit from Tangle's original designs and I continue to be impressed. Impressed enough that I might even knit this cardi again in a cotton yarn. But I'd better concentrate on this one first as we all know (and if you don't, be warned) how many WIPs I have lurking about in this house, falling out of closets, from under beds, and stuffed to the back of the fridge (well, no, not really. But it could happen). I'm using a gorgeous yarn called Canopy Fingering by The Fibre Company in the colour way Parakeet. If you think the pictures look nice believe me when I say (write?) it is 100 times better in real life. It's a baby alpaca, merino, viscose bamboo blend. I picked up three skeins of it on sale at my other local yarn shop, COCO. Lucky, lucky, luck!
I am in love and...concerned. You see, I'm not a fan of fingering weight yarn. I prefer me some DK or worsted weight. They get the job done faster and I don't need to concentrate quite as hard on making my stitches. I don't mind fine yarn when I'm crocheting likely because I have more experience with it. With knitting, I tend to avoid (thats a lie, I DO avoid) lace patterns and fine yarns. I have a lovely skein of baby alpaca balled up in a craft drawer somewhere with a pattern that I've started three times and three times had to break the yarn off to start over because I'd created such an unholy, knotted mess.
So, I'm really wondering if this project and I are going to go the distance. I have a horrendous record with finishing sweaters for myself. In fact, of the three I've started and put considerable time and tears into, only one is finished, fits and is regularly worn. Sad I know. This is number four. Hopefully the knitting gods will grant me a free break for sheer optimism and determination.
Now, I must go back upstairs and reknit half of what I've already knit on the thing. I've already had to unravel most of it (right back to the 'cast on 80 stitches and knit four rows in garter stitch beginning...) and, for once, I haven't left the yarn in too much of a snarl.

just after the first snow fall of the year? I held the door open for her

This was on Netflix. So I watched it today. I thought it was well done and really enjoyed it, except one thing stuck out.
Where's the Revelation songs? There's Arnel talking about how he was sick of singing cover songs in his country, but all they did was show clips of DSB and other Dirty Dozen songs ad nauseum. I get they would be the majority shown, but this was also a chance to show the band having a successful album and promoting it. The only song I remember on there was Change for the Better. They could have shown him rehearsing a few of the songs in the beginning when he was auditioning. They could have shown him performing All These Years. Didn't it get some radio play? Turn Down the Light would have been great. Revelation had some good songs, and I don't get why that wouldn't be part of the narrative in the documentary, the band having a successful album of original songs Arnel is the lead singer on. Plus, his vocals fit in nicely on many of those songs, since he's not really trying to sound like Perry, in my opinion.
It made me go back and listen to Revelation. I think it's a good album. I love the nostalgic feel to the album. Does Journey even play anything off of Revelation anymore live? I haven't seen them in ages. It's a shame if they don't, since it had good sales, 800,000, and it was Arnel's album with them. Eclipse I kind of get by now, because nobody bought it.

The fishing at the Los Suenos Marina the past few weeks has been decent. There have been a half dozen boats going out of the charter dock everyday and everyone has been catching some fish inshore and some sailfish offshore. …a couple boats have had big days.
The Cormier family recently fished with Captain Jerry on the Estrella de Mar and they caught 5 sailfish and 3 nice dorado. Ken Cormier said they had an action packed vacation in Jaco with the great fishing, canopy tours, quad runner tours and horse back riding. The captain fished inshore
Captain Bill Kieldsen on the Sailfish took Steve Lansch and his wife offshore at the beginning of August. They released 3 sailfish…the captain said one of the sails was over 180 pounds. Steve said he's caught plenty of sailfish but never one that size.
A lucky group of guys from the states went offshore with the guys on the Barbarrosa and came across a big log about 30 miles out. The log was a "honey hole"…they raised 9 blue marlin and released 4. They also released 4 sailfish, 2 shark and they kept a couple tuna for dinner. The lesson here is even if the fishing is just average you should go. You could be the lucky guys that stumble across the next "honey hole".
Captain RJ Lilley on the Predator fished the 26 rock (a submerged rock 20 miles from Los Suenos) with a couple from
Jason Betker fished inshore and offshore with guys on the Scorpion out of Los Suenos. They caught a handful of nice dorado with a few over 40 pounds. They also caught yellowfin tuna and roosterfish. Jason froze 15 pounds of mahi mahi filets and was lucky enough to get it back to the states in good condition and he had friends over for a fish fry.
Captain Dave Mothershead on the Miss Behavin took a honeymoon couple from
I went fishing with the guys on the Dragin Fly last week and we ran 35 miles offshore and fished out by Cabo Blanco. It was my buddies birthday and he was a little hung over so we got a late start. We fished 4 hours and went 3 for 4 on sailfish. Birthday boy caught a fish, had a few cold beers and took a nap.

GearVR Framework Development Overview¶
Introduction to GearVRf integration and VR app development
GearVRf provides tools to speed up development of advanced features in high quality VR applications. Available EGL extensions (including dual scan, front buffer, MSAA, OVR multiview and tile rendering) allow the best render quality.
GearVRf is a native code 3D rendering engine with an Android library interface. You can build non-trivial content using only built-in objects. You can add new objects (such as scene objects with or without shaders) derived from classes or by overriding some methods - GearVRf takes care of all hardware handholding. You can do just about everything in Java - all source code is published, so you can easily add to or tweak native code.
Anatomy of GearVRf Applications¶
GearVRf is a framework which controls how and when your code is executed. Subclassing GearVRf objects allows you to add your own code. You can also listen to GearVRf events and provide callbacks that respond to them.
A 3D scene is represented as a hierarchy of GearVRf scene objects. Each visible object has a triangle mesh describing its shape, a material describing its appearance properties and a transformation matrix controlling its position in the 3D world. You do not explicitly call the OpenGL or Vulkan API when using GearVRf. Instead, the GearVRF framework manages all rendering, providing a higher level abstraction for graphics.
When constructing an Android application, you subclass the Activity class. Similarly, when constructing a GearVRF application you subclass GVRActivity, providing initialization code to create a GVRMain to set up the initial 3D scene and handle input events.
During initialization, GVRActivity creates a GVRViewManager which does all the heavy lifting. This class is responsible for task scheduling, 3D rendering, animation and asset loading.
Thread Management¶
One key constraint of embedded GPU programming is that there is only one GL context. That is, all GPU commands must come from the same thread - the GL thread. The GPU should always be busy; therefore, the graphics thread cannot be the main GUI thread. In the future, GearVRf will eventually relax this restriction when using the Vulkan API because that graphics interface permits multiple threads to simultaneously submit work.
When starting GearVRf, your Android app creates the GL thread, puts the phone into stereoscopic mode, and supplies a pair of callback methods that run the app's startup and per-frame code on the graphics thread. GearVRf provides methods for any thread to schedule runnable callbacks to the graphics thread. All these callbacks mean that GearVRf programming is event-oriented on the graphics thread in just the same way that Android programming is event-oriented on the GUI thread. Running two independent event systems on two independent threads does mean that you have to think about IPC whenever your Android Activity code on the GUI thread interacts with the GearVRf code on the graphics thread. However, dual-thread operation also creates another huge section of your application that can take advantage of event atomicity. That is, callback events are method calls from a main loop - neither the GUI thread nor the graphics thread ever runs more than one callback at one time, and each callback has to run to completion before any other callback can start on that thread. Your graphics callbacks do not have to write code to keep other graphics callbacks from seeing data structures in a partially updated state.
Scene Graph and Scene Objects¶
Your startup code builds a scene graph made up of scene objects, and your per-frame code then manipulates the scene graph in real time. Each scene object has a 4x4 matrix that describes its position, orientation, and zoom relative to its parent. Each scene object can parent other scene objects, so complex objects can be composed of multiple small objects, each with its own shape and appearance, with all changing in synchrony. Each scene object provides methods to change its components using a lazy update pattern, which means that multiple updates per event cost very little more than a single update.
You make a scene object visible by adding a surface geometry and a skin. The geometry is a mesh of 3D triangles. GearVRf provides methods to build simple rectangular quads, and to load more complex meshes from files built by 3D model editors.
Each material class contains the shader type, values for all shader parameters, texture, and other uniform mappings. Each shader has two parts: a vertex shader and a fragment shader. The vertex shader is called for each vertex of each visible triangle and can compute triangle-specific values that are passed to the fragment shader, which draws each pixel of each visible triangle. GearVRf contains standard shaders that provide methods, such as simply sampling a texture (a bitmap image in GPU memory), without applying any lighting effects. You can create custom shaders by supplying vertex and fragment shaders and by declaring names to bind Java values to. The GLSL shader language is very simple and C-like; you can learn a lot by reading a few of the shaders in the sample applications. GearVRf also supports sharing specially constructed shaders between OpenGL and Vulkan.
Scene Graph¶
The scene graph describes the spatial relationship between objects in the scene. Each scene object has a 4x4 transformation matrix to position and orient it locally. The scene objects may be nested so that the transformations of the parent nodes are inherited by the children. This allows objects to be easily positioned and animated relative to one another.
Here we see a scene graph for a butterfly with a body and two wings. Each scene object has a position and an orientation. The left and right wings can share the same mesh but it is positioned and oriented differently for each wing. The initial translation on the body is inherited by the wings.
The form of your scene graph can have implications for the performance of your application. Typically, having lots of small objects performs poorly compared to several large objects with a similar total vertex count. This is because there is a considerable amount of overhead in rendering a single object. GearVRf attempts to batch objects together that do not move in order to improve performance.
Types of Scene Objects¶
You can have invisible scene objects. These have a location and a set of child objects. This can be useful to move a set of scene objects as a unit preserving their relative geometry.
Visible scene objects have a render data component attached which contains the geometry defining the shape of the object and a material describing its appearance. The material contains the data that will be passed to the shader used by the GPU to draw the mesh.
In addition to displaying geometry, a scene object can display text, 360 photos, 360 video, normal photos and video, Android application view and internet browser views.
|Scene Object Class
|constructs sphere geometry
|construct cube geometry
|constructs cone geometry
|constructs cylinder geometry
|displays text
|displays a video
|displays an internet browser window
|displays video from the phone camera
|displays 3D interactive keyboard
Scene Construction Example¶
Constructing the initial GearVRF scene usually involves importing a set of assets and placing them relative to one another. In this example we make a simple butterfly with an ellipsoid for a body and textured planes for wings.
GVRContext context; GVRTexture wingtex = context.getAssetLoader().loadTexture( new GVRAndroidResource(context, R.drawable.wingtex)); GVRSceneObject body = new GVRSphereObject(context); GVRSceneObject leftwing = new GVRSceneObject(context, wingtex); GVRSceneObject rightwing = new GVRSceneObject(context, wingtex); leftwing.getTransform().setPosition(-1, 0, 0); rightwing.getTransform().setPosition(1, 0, 0); rightwing.getTransform().setRotationY(180);
Scene Object Components¶
A scene object can have one or more components attached which provide additional capabilities. All scene objects have a GVRTransform component which supplies the 4x4 matrix used to position and orient the object in the scene. Attaching a GVRRenderData component referencing geometry and material properties will cause the geometry to be displayed in the scene.
The following components can be attached to a GVRSceneObject:
- GVRTransform - 4x4 transformation matrix
- GVRRenderData - geometry with material properties
- GVRLightBase - illumination source
- GVRCamera - camera
- GVRCameraRig - stereoscopic camera rig
- GVRCollider - collision geometry
- GVRBehavior - user defined component
- GVRPicker - pick from this viewpoint
- GVRBaseSensor - marshal pick events from children
- GVRRenderTarget - render to texture
Each scene object can only have one component of a particular type. For example, you cannot attach two lights or two cameras to a single scene object. Components are retrieved and removed based on their type. When a component is attached to a scene object, it derives its position and orientation from the GVRTransform attached to that scene object.

Johannesburg - Former Robben Island prisoner and anti-apartheid activist Laloo Chiba has died, the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation said on Friday.
"We would like to inform you that Ahmed Kathrada Foundation board member and former Robben Island prisoner, Laloo Chiba, 87, has passed away just a short while ago," the foundation said in a statement.
"Chiba had a mild heart attack a few days ago and was hospitalised. He was discharged this week and passed away at his home in Lenasia."
Chiba, a very close friend of the late Kathrada, was an Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) platoon commander and was jailed for 18 years on Robben Island for his anti-apartheid activism.
"Chiba considered Kathrada his best friend and political mentor and was devastated after Kathrada passed away in March this year," said the foundation.
"He was also deeply grieved at the recent passing of fellow Robben Island prisoner, Eddie Daniels, whom he had visited just a few weeks ago in the Western Cape."
Details of his funeral have not yet been finalised.
Chiba is survived by his wife Luxmi, three daughters and grandchildren.

Hey Danny!
Can you tell me about your fingerpicks? Do put the thumb pick near the knuckle? Do the Index and middle finger picks go in the centre of your fingers or do you turn them slightly? What type you use? i'm looking for something a little more comfortable than what i have..
St.John's Newfoundland
well them pro-piks or whatever have two bands that can be more comfortable. take you some needle nose pliers and slightly flare up the edges that dig into your fingers. they never feel .....like they don't hurt they kinda dig in to make sure they are on there good, so you kinda gotta live with some of that. i use real simple stuff that you can get in any music store, nothing exotic. it's a matter of: a. shaping b. getting used to wearing them.
A Question about "Folktronics":
I've heard you talk about the track "Falling Down the Stairs (with a pistol in my hand)" being an integral breakthrough in developing your style and exploring new sonic endeavors. Had you been experimenting with this new form pre-Hogs on the Highway, or did you present the idea to the band and they were hip to you using your feelers to navigate through this new space? Since the form is so ambiguous and there is basically no expectation (or standard) of the end result, do you build most of your tracks as you go and kind of see where you end up, or do you write the song first and embellish/modify afterwards? Furthermore, I also read that you sample "accidental sound" like dogs barking or car doors slamming ... ambient noises incorporated into the track's basic form. How does experimentation with these techniques alter your idea of "perfection" not only with the use of sampling but your banjo playing as well?
Thanks Danny

Suspect in south county bank robbery arrested
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Dallas arrested Michael H. Mathews, 34, Nov. 1 at his Dallas home. Authorities believe he attempted to rob the Bank of America at 125 Sawdust Road Oct. 20. He confessed to attempted robberies at locations in Waco, Austin, Arlington, Fort Worth, Houston and The Woodlands, according to Detective John Sanchez of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
Mathews' capture was the result of an alert witness who noted his license number when he fled the Wells Fargo Bank at Greenspoint in Harris County after allegedly robbing it, Sanchez said. The Houston Police Department traced the plate to Mathews' Dallas-area home, and then contacted the FBI Bank Task Force in Dallas. The task force already was investigating robberies in that area. Mathews' home was placed under surveillance prior to officers obtaining consent to search the home.
The arrest and confession ended a multi-agency investigation. After Sanchez started his investigation locally, he joined forces with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the Houston Police Department, the Austin Police Department, the Waco Police Department and the FBI.
"The reason everybody was talking was that we believed we had the same suspect in eight cases across the state," Sanchez said.
He said the agencies noticed patterns that pointed to one person being responsible for numerous robberies and robbery attempts.
"His M.O. was the same," Sanchez said. "He either handed the teller a note or held a note that said something like 'Give me all the money." In the south county robbery attempt, the suspect showed the note to the teller instead of handing it to her, he said.
There was no weapon used in the Bank of America attempted robbery, and Sanchez said that also was part of the pattern.
"As far as I know, there was never any weapon used," he said.
George Owen, a spokesman for Bank of America, would not confirm whether the teller acted according to protocol in the failed attempt.
"We do provide specific training. But for security reasons, we cannot reveal any more than that," he said.
He also declined to respond to questions regarding why there are no longer visible armed guards inside banks or whether Bank of America employed such personnel.
According to a report released by the FBI, there were 401,326 robberies in the United States in 2004. That is 136.7 per 100,000 people. The number reflects a 14.6 percent increase from 2003. The report also stated that the average dollar amount lost in robberies was highest for banks at $4,221. The average lost by service stations in robberies was $1,749.
Sanchez said he does not have the total dollar amount Mathews is believed to have acquired through the robberies. He left empty handed from some locations and took cash from others. Sanchez is continuing to receive information from Dallas.

Downing Street Respond
Downing Street have responded to a petition that was created on the number 10 website by a Kirkby resident, whilst the announcement was made that the project had been called in months ago, the petition on the website has only recently finished. This is the response those who signed the petition will have received:
"Having considered all of the available information, The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government decided that it was the right decision to call in the planning application for the Everton/Tesco development in Knowsley for her own determination on the 7th August 2008.
"The Planning Inspectorate was asked to arrange a public inquiry which commenced on the 18 November 2008 at the Kirkby Suite, Norwich Way, Cherryfield Drive, Kirkby, L32 8XY. Any further correspondence on the case should be addressed to the Planning Inspectorate, PINS SAC(B), Room 3/17, Temple Quay House,2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6PN.
"As you will appreciate, it would be inappropriate for the Government to offer any further comment at this stage as this case is still ongoing."

Our society has forgotten movement,
it has relegated it to a secondary position, as it has relegated the body to a lesser position than the mind.
Movement has become something to 'do' 2-3 times a week in the best scenarios – and the thoughts behind physical exercise don't often lead to perseverance, as they do not light a flame in the soul.
It can be different.
We just need to remember that we have a body and that we are also a body in this earthly reality.
Movement is inherent to human nature. Human beings have moved a lot daily for most part of our existence as a species on this Earth, and this is even truer for our ancestors who were hunters and gatherers.
Movement was certainly tied to survival, but it was also a source of pleasure and fun, and a play tool. Through movement humans could connect with themselves, with others and with the environment.
We were born to move.
We were born to run, fight, jump, climb, crawl, and much more.
We were born to do it often, daily!
We now have the chance to start getting back the enormous amount of movement skills we have as human beings.
It is never to late to start, never!
I invite you to do it with me.
Let's explore our current abilities, let's go into the body to feel it and embody our physicality,
let's challenge ourselves, let's embrace failure and the consequent learning,
to become stronger, more flexible, more functional,
through research and exploration of the body in movement.
Let's rediscover the pleasure in moving the body even in unexpected ways,
let's go back to have fun and play as we did when we were children.
Movement will no longer be a burden, something we have to do.
It will become something we look forward to,
something we will be willing to integrate into our daily life for long-lasting change.
Let's build together our antifragility,
which is resistance, resilience, adaptability to change.
And remember that
Movement is life.
What do we do in a Wild Movement session?
- First, we enter the connection with ourselves, others and the environment
- Then comes the Movement phase, with:
– warm up / joint mobility
– play (in couples / group)
– technical study of chosen skills
- We end with a relaxing activity, which may vary from session to session
Do not hesitate to get in touch with me to learn more.

Hello stranger(s)! Oh, am I the stranger? I guess I am. I'm sorry 😦 I have no good excuse for you. None. But here I am, and that's what really matters, right? Right. Let's go with that.
On to the food!
So, on Saturday, I felt inspired and went to the Farmer's Market in Falls Church, VA. Wow, was it vibrant and busy! So many awesome stands, so many awesome people. My first stop was the stand I have bought eggs from before…I had cheated on them and bought eggs at the grocery store so, to repent, I gave them like 20 empty egg cartons. Then, I walked around to get a first look. So many stands sell similar things, I wanted to make sure I made good choices!
Here's what I ended up with!
Right there you have: Royal Trumpet Mushrooms, a bunch o' basil, horseradish pickles, fresh Kielbasa, onion cheese curd (GREAT for grilled cheese!), and Wisconsin Style Brats. Yum to the yum squared. I used the mushrooms and basil for this meal!
First off heated up about a tablespoon of olive oil and threw in my chopped up onion and garlic. Once the onion turned translucent I tossed in the chopped mushroom and poured in about a half cup of beef broth. I tossed in a pinch of salt and a couple turns of the pepper grinder as well as about 2 tsps of fresh thyme leaves. I let this cook down until all the broth was evaporated. Took the mushroom mixture off the heat and went to work on the rest of the filling!
Here's where my fresh ricotta comes in! Holy crap, I made cheese. Holy. Crap. I'm pretty excited about this because it's so easy. But, I'll go over that in another post. Gotta keep you kids on your toes! Here it is in all its cheesy goodness!
I mixed 3/4 cup ricotta with 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. Then I added the mushroom mixture and mixed and mixed until it was as homogeneous as it was gonna get!
I set this in the fridge to await the dough!
Dough time. I did my thing with the flour and the eggs, yadda yadda. Again, another time 😉
Dough! Each of these little balls means 12 raviolis! Yay!
Time to involve my favorite kitchen partner:
The kitchenaid. And my fancy shmancy pasta roller!!
I rolled the dough down to the smallest or next to smallest setting and went on to my ravioli maker!
This guy is tricky. But after this round of ravioli (my second attempt) I think I've got it. I think. First of all, take a teaspoon (meagerly filled) and put in each well of the ravioli maker.
Then, I rolled out the second half of my first dough ball and created a top sheet! After wetting down all the seams, I put the top sheet on and attempted to take out my raviolis. You heard me, attempted.
Ew, what are those?! Those are ugly. Full of delicious, but ugly none the less. My raviolis were sticking to the ravioli maker! Sad face, Jessica. That was me. I did it this same way again because I'm dumb and a slow learner. So, I had two batches of wth ugly raviolis. Lame.
THEN, genius (ha) struck. I powdered down the ravioli maker with some corn flour and went at it again. YAY. They basically just fell out of the maker when I flipped it. Ah. Finally. Something I can be proud of!
Yeah right, I stole that picture from someone who can really make ravioli. Psh. KIDDING! Omg I did it! You can do it too. I promise! You don't even need a ravioli tool. You can just lay out a sheet of dough on a flour-dusted counter, put on some filling, and cover and separate/cut out your raviolis!
To cook, bring salted water to a boil, pop in these suckers and stir so they don't stick. Let cook for about 5 minutes and, voila! Ravioli!
Below, the Recipe:
- One batch of pasta dough (mine had 2 cups of flour and 3 eggs)
- 8-12 oz Fresh Mushrooms
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsps chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- pinch of salt
- 3 twists of pepper grinder (I know, suuuper accurate)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
- 3/4 cup Ricotta cheese
- olive oil
Saute the onions and garlic for about 2 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Simmer until the broth has evaporated. This shouldn't take very long. Set aside and mix your cheeses in a medium bowl. Add the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Take your pasta dough and roll it through your pasta maker until it's at the thinnest setting. Or, use a rolling pin to obtain the same thinness (I've never tried this). Put dough on ravioli maker and put 1 tsp of filling in each well. Wet the seams and cover with another layer of dough. Perform whatever ravioli magic your form of maker requires (ie. cut, roll, etc). Place ready raviolis on a flour dusted surface and repeat!
To eat, cook in boiling water for 5 minutes, stirring to make sure they don't stick to the pan.
Note, once you've made the ravioli, put it on a flour/corn flour dusted surface. If you're going to keep the raviolis in the fridge or freezer, I'd recommend tossing both sides with the flour to keep it from sticking. This should all come off when you cook it!
Have you ever made your own pasta or ravioli? Do you have any good tricks?

'Julia loves Indian culture'
Russhita Singh, who stars in Eat Pray Love, on her experience of working with Julia Roberts.hollywood Updated: Aug 23, 2010 15:36 IST
She might have not registered her presence as a child actor in Halla Bol (2008), Nanhe Jaisalmer (2007) or Zinda (2006). But for Russhita Singh, the forthcoming Julia Roberts' film Eat Pray Love is the big ticket to showbiz. The actor plays Tulsi whom Roberts' character befriends at an ashram and learns about India's culture.
Recalling her experience of working with the Pretty Woman star, Rushita says that Roberts is not just a great actor, but also a perfect mother. "She was accompanied by her three children and she maintained a fine balance between her professional and personal role," she says.The most important lesson Singh learnt was to be a thorough professional when at work. "Despite being such a huge movie star, Julia was polite and courteous," Rushita says, adding, "She taught me that it doesn't matter if you're unwell or the weather at the location is hot or cold. Once you've decided to do a film, you give it your 100 per cent."
At the same time, the Best Actress Oscar winner for Erin Brockovich also had a couple of surprises in store. "Julia knew a bit about the Bhagwad Gita and Lord Ganesha. But apart from that, she was interested in our traditions. During the shoot, she went to an ashram for the first time, where she meditated regularly. That's why she was so calm despite the hectic shooting and frenzy."
Reacting to reports that Roberts's conversion to Hinduism is a publicity stunt for Eat Pray Love, Russhita asserts that she wouldn't indulge in such gimmicks. "Julia loves our culture. So if she has converted, it's fine," is all she's willing to say.
However, she's quick to add that Roberts followed the rituals correctly while filming at the ashram and temples for their movie. "On the days when we had to shoot inside the ashram or the temple, Julia wouldn't eat non-vegetarian food," reveals Russhita, adding that otherwise, the Hollywood star savoured Indian food. "She relished tandoori chicken and paneer dishes."
Russhita, who missed the film's premiere in New York is now looking forward to meeting her co-star at the Rome premiere next month. Until then, she's busy acquiring a degree in mass communications from Mumbai University, while awaiting other film offers.

Even the dirtiest outdoor fanatics wash their bottles Now and again. No less than, we hope they do. During this metric, we utilised a standard bottle brush and timed how long it took to hand-wash Just about every contender. While some of these bottles are labeled as dishwasher-safe, we decided to fee with hand-washing moments for 2 explanations: 1) Not Every person has usage of a dishwasher, particularly in The good outside, and a couple of) When you go through previously mentioned, we don't advocate washing plastic elements during the dishwasher. Lastly, we also factored in the quantity of parts as well as their complexity.

The ice can take so prolonged to soften that you may drink your water and only have ice remaining.
Use bleach: Combine an answer of one-teaspoon bleach and a half-gallon of water to disinfect weekly. In case your bottle incorporates a sport cap, flip it open up and submerge in the solution for one moment. Rinse under running water, then squirt a full bottle of clean up water out throughout the cap.
We scored all 16 bottles utilizing the outcome from 5 criteria: simplicity of use, taste, durability, simplicity of cleansing, and excess weight. The main spot that we centered on was simplicity of use simply because that is what separates a single bottle from the subsequent each time you employ it. In addition to carrying these bottles close to for three months, we set them by means of many tests indoors.
Last but not least, we crammed Every single bottle with a flavored sports consume blend, left them sitting down for twenty-four hours, insulated water bottle for rabbit emptied the bottles, and hand washed Every bottle with soap and heat water.
