Capello's Russia Ties With Ivory Coast2:55 PMGoalChatter
Russia's National Team played its first game with Fabio Capello as head coach. 20-year-old Anzhi player Arseniy Logashov debuted alongside the Italian manager, coming on as a sub for Aleksandr Anyukov, who was injured during the first half. The Ivory Coast has a relatively new manager as well - Sabri Lamouchi took over the managerial post in May 2012. The two teams were pretty equal in both set pieces and in regulary play. Russia started off the first half with several attempts at storming the net. Pavlyuchenko tested keeper Daniel Yeboah with a free kick delivery on the 11th minute. A handball in the box went unnoticed by referee Cüneyt Çakır, as did a great number of fouls from the guest team. However, the Russians managed to get a number of free kicks. Neither team was able to score in the first half, though many of the set pieces could have had potential. The Russians gave away a bit of possession before halftime, trailing 47% to the Ivory Coast's 53%. Both teams had 2 shots on goal. Russia was ahead 4-3 on both total shots and corners, though the Ivory Coast was well ahead when it came to fouls, leading 14 to 6. From a technical perspective, it was anyone's game.
The Russian players made sure to mark Didier Drogba, the Ivory Coast's most-capped player and top goalscorer. Sergei Ignashevich prevented the former Chelsea star from making a run toward the net on the 53rd minute. Alan Dzagoev took the free kick for Russia two minutes later, scoring the home team's only goal of the match. Drogba continued to test the Russian net, but the subbed-in Malafeev was just as good as Akinfeev at blocking his shots. Despite Capello's series of substiutions and the team's leap in possession to 69%, the Russians conceded on the 77th minute when PSG defender Siaka Tiéné's cross gave Max Gradel the opportunity for a header at close range. There were no more dangerous moments at either net, except for a late free kick by the home team that caught the Ivory Coast keeper a bit off guard.
The refereeing was not near the level I've seen in other recent friendlies. The official's decisions to not card many of the players of the guest team were questionable. The Ivory Coast played a very physical game. Nevertheless, the friendly served its purpose, giving both managers a chance to observe different combinations of players on the pitch in order to make future decisions regarding the starting line-ups. It wasn't the most exciting game in terms of goal-scoring opportunities, but it was still a treat for both local and traveling fans.

Today on Lost Entertainment I (Kristian Rodriguez) will pull back the magical fourth wall and show you the reality of what the other side of the camera looks like.
I must warn you that you may not want to see the secrets behind the magic. If you do then please scroll down further and if you don't, well.. you can just fuck off then.
A young Steven Speilberg is pictured above in the most famous teeth in cinema history. The original mechanical Bruce was recently discovered in a scrap yard in Los Angeles. I always said if I won the lottery I would buy this and have it in my pool to jump out and scare people for a joke.
Here are some more images just to remind you that "it's just a movie"
Freddy Krueger will always a topical on Lost Entertainment but another topical fact is that the first nightmare movie was Johnny Depp's big screen debut. Robert Englund endured hours upon hours of grueling make up sessions and after 8 of these movies it is a sure bet that he has spent at least a few months of his life in the make up chair.
It's a very surreal image to see all the kids of Elm Street posing with Freddy Krueger with massive grins while he chills with his old school tape deck.
Englund rips of the latex after a hard day at the office.
A rare snap of the first batch of Elm Street children.
The Dream Warriors grab a snap with Freddy.
Freddy goes for his last make over on the set of Camp Crystal Lake.
John Carpenters Halloween is the undisputed king of the slashers in my personal opinion. Michael Myers is the archetype of what any horror movie antagonist should be. Feelingless, remorseless, brutal and cool as fuck. The first two incarnations of Myers were the best and the movies after should be avoided like the plague. Here are some rare photos from the film set.
Nick Castle poses with the infamous mask which still terrifies audiences to this day. The mask was in fact a Star Trek mask of Captain Kirk sprayed grey.
Another rare shot of Jamie Leigh Curtis embracing Michael Myers.
This would be the best Coca Cola advert for a certain time of year.

1968's Night of The Living Dead laid down the path for zombie movies and 10 years later Dawn of the Dead rode down that path in flaming chariots. Possibly my all time favorite movie in general, Dawn of the Dead is easily the greatest zombie ever made. Filmed on a tight budget in Pennsylvania shopping mall Dawn of the Dead is not just a zombie movie its fucking art. George Romero teamed with special effects guru Tom Savini to make the most violent gore fest ever seen at that time.
Tom Savini had recently returned from Vietnam where he served as military photographer and after seeing so many dead bodies he was the right guy to bring the living dead to life in this project. I will be doing a great length Dawn of the Dead article for Halloween.
Romero instructing a zombie.
Savini giving another one of the ridiculous amounts of zombies the paint job.
Due to the amount of zombies cast in the movie multiple teams of make up artists were deployed in the mall.
Savini chills with a body who is about to have an exploding head episode.
When James Camerons sci fi/film noire master piece was first released in 1984 it was the most expensive film ever made at the time. Casting Mr Universe Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role the movie would be a mega hit and would spawn maybe the most successful sequel of all time.
Arnie grabs a snap with the woman he shot in the face. Nice shirt as well Arnie.

California city begins evacuating apartments after El Nino storms erode bluffs
A Northern California city has declared a state of emergency after high waves and heavy rain driven by the El Nino system have eroded cliffs, leaving oceanfront apartment buildings in danger of falling into the Pacific.
Authorities in Pacifica, a town of around 40,000 people 15 miles southwest of San Francisco, declared a state of emergency Friday due to accelerated erosion of the cliffs along Esplanade Avenue and Palmetto Avenue.
On Monday afternoon, an apartment building along Esplanade became the at least the third property to be evacuated. Police fanned out to post yellow tags on 20 apartment doors, giving residents access to move their belongings out.
"That's scary," Pacifica Police Chief Daniel Steidle told KTVU, referring to the eroding cliffs out the apartment windows. "I wouldn't want to be in those buildings right now. It's very scary to look at that."
Some residents were more willing to leave than others.
"You guys are going to have to physically drag me out," Michelle McKay told Steidle. "I'm not leaving!"
McKay and other residents told KTVU that due to the high cost of living in the Bay Area, finding a place they can afford long-term will be a challenge. "I have nowhere to go and no money to go there," McKay said through tears.
Pacifica has dealt with coastal erosion that threatens properties before. Scores of units were evacuated in 2010 after heavy storms began shearing off large sections of the cliffs. In 1998, the last time a major El Nino storm hit, residents of one home managed to flee just before it collapsed over the eroded bluff.
The soaking winter rainstorms that have hit California with a vengeance are forecast to continue through March.

Texas songwriter Terri Hendrix closes in on the finish line of her "Project 5" marathon and looks ahead to the future of her San Marcos-based non-profit, the OYOU
SAN MARCOS, Texas — "Can you feel it? Can you feel the time?"
You better believe Terri Hendrix can feel the time — every waking minute of her day, and probably even in her sleep. Seven years ago, she wrote a song called "Slow Down" that quickly became a fan favorite at her live shows and even netted her a glowing review from music legend Al Kooper, and maybe someday the pioneering independent artist will make good on her promise to herself to do just that. But first she's got a marathon to finish and a dream to build, and neither time nor life is gonna just sit around and wait for her to catch up.
Hendrix calls the marathon "Project 5," and it's one that the award-winning singer-songwriter has been training for her entire career. At a glance, it's a comprehensive collection of lyrics, music, and hard-earned, firsthand life lessons addressing the topics of love, loyalty, friendship, faith, and resilience over the span of four new albums and a book. Each element is a distinct project unto itself, but they're meant to fit together like pieces in a puzzle to reveal one big picture. It's a daunting undertaking, to be sure, but for Hendrix — once described by writer Holy Gleason in No Depression as "a classic Texas texture: tough enough to never fold, strong enough to cut her own path, woman enough to smile in the face of fate and keep going" — the sheer scope of it all has been positively liberating. "Seeing that 'big picture' allowed me the freedom to explore different aspects of my writing and music in more depth than I ever have before on a single record," she says. Indeed, it's the kind of widescreen canvas few artists in her field ever have the opportunity to "paint" on — but having worked tirelessly at owning her own universe for better of part of three decades, Hendrix has earned it.
Hendrix released the first two albums in Project 5 — "Love You Strong" and "The Slaughterhouse Sessions" — last year, with the final three pieces all due out before the end of 2017. "Own Your Own Universe," meanwhile, has bloomed of late into something far bigger than just Hendrix's personal mission statement in regards to her music career. What was once just a means to a dream has become, literally, a dream come true: the OYOU (www.ownyourownuniverse.org), a 501 C3 non-profit center for the creative arts in the San Antonio native's beloved adopted hometown of San Marcos, Texas. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Hendrix has spent the better part of the last decade getting that dream up and running, not just with concerts, workshops, and support groups at the center's current base of operations at San Marcos' Quail Creek Country Club, but as a mobile nonprofit on wheels providing music and other charitable services across Texas and beyond.
Between balancing her OYOU duties and personal concert-performance calendar, it's a wonder where Hendrix still finds time to write and record these days. But as shown with Project 5, the woman Acoustic Guitar included in its list of 20 essential Texas singer-songwriters has never been more creatively charged. She actually began the journey long before the February 2016 release of the first album in the series, "Love You Strong." "Most of the songs on these individual albums and the chapters in my book were written over the last five years, and all of my writing in that stretch seemed to touch in one manner or another on love, hope and resilience," she explains. "As I became ever more conscious of just how many common threads there were, connecting songs to songs and songs to book chapters and vice versa, the more I realized that everything I was working on was a single body of work." And given that Hendrix says she's "always been a long-distance runner at heart" — having run cross country back in high school and her own label, Wilory Records, since long before "DIY" became an industry norm — it's not surprising that she likes to call Project 5 a "sonic marathon." "Each leg of the marathon is its own separate journey, but they all lead to the same destination."
Coming six years after her previous release, 2010's "Cry Till You Laugh" — an atypically long time for an artist who until then had averaged an album a year ever since her 1996 debut, "Two Dollar Shoes" — "Love You Strong" (aka Project 5.1) served notice from the get-go that Hendrix was determined to leave her comfort zone in the dust. The album takes the topic of love and puts it under the microscope, zooming in with unflinching focus to explore issues of trust, loyalty, friendship, and fortitude both emotional and spiritual — and what it reveals isn't always necessarily reassuring. The opening "Feel the Time" surges with conviction over an urgent Celtic groove, but tempers its "move with a mission" message with a bittersweet reminder that we're all on a collision course with mortality. In the deliberately unsettling "Vulnerable," Hendrix lays bare her most intimate insecurities, and the deceptively peppy "The Rant" is a powder keg of raw nerves. But true to life, there's hope here, too, with songs like the title track, "Earth-Kind Rose," "The Texas Star," "Found" and "Fifty Shades of Hey" all celebrating the kind of beauty that stems from devotion, dignity, inner-strength, and when all else fails, irreverence.
"It's not about defeat," insists Hendrix, who has lived with a seizure disorder for most of her life. "It's about courage — and the beauty of not only finding it in oneself, but sharing it with others." The Austin Chronicle's Doug Freeman noted that Hendrix's "grounded reality strikes with a refreshing — and empowering — honesty," while Andrew Dansby, writing for LoneStarMusicMagazine.com, called the album a "profound and strong statement" — and an "encouragingly strong start" for the rest of the series to come.
Although she's never been especially beholden to any one style or genre, Hendrix considers "Love You Strong" to be the most straightforward "folk" album she's ever made. "The Slaughterhouse Sessions" (Project 5.2), meanwhile, is unabashedly her most focused foray into acoustic blues and gospel — with a pronounced emphasis on her Sonny Terry-inspired harmonica playing and a determined call to action against racism, poverty, greed, and political fear-mongers. The album was named after the New Mexico guesthouse (formerly an actual slaughterhouse) where Hendrix and her longtime producer and musical partner Lloyd Maines laid down some of the earliest tracks. Lee Zimmerman, writing for No Depression, likened the rootsy production to "archaic folk ballads delivered without compromise straight from the source," while writer Kerry Dexter observed that the album speaks "of faith and struggle and triumph hewed from day to day life and served up in a voice and with a musical style that perfectly suits the silk meets burlap edge to the songs." Balancing timely originals like "The News," "Bury the Devil" and "Call You to the Carpet" with equally prescient covers like Elder Roma Wilson's pre-WWII lament "Ain't It a Shame" and A.P. Carter's "Sun of the Soul," it's a fiery-spirited, foot-stomping, apathy-shaking battle cry of a record that's been praised as her most assertive and timely to date. Critic Lynne Margolis, who counted "Slaughterhouse" amongst her Top 10 Americana releases of the year, called its topical songs "stripped to their essences and built to last."
So how's Hendrix gonna follow that? Rest assured, she's on the case. "I am back in my home studio writing, rewriting, recording, and laying down some production on the remaining two albums," Hendrix said in mid-January, referring to the forthcoming "Who Is Ann?" and "Talk to a Human." The former, which appropriately borrows Hendrix's middle name being that it falls smack in the middle of Project 5, promises to be unlike anything that even the songwriter's most loyal fans have ever heard from her before: It's an EP-length exploration into electronica, a genre that happens to be one of Hendrix's personal musical obsessions. Although she's incorporated teasing glimpses of her "closet tech-head" side in her recordings before (most recently on "Slaughterhouse Sessions," as heard in "Bury the Devil"), "Who Is Ann?" embraces it head on. Astute listeners will still hear the recurring themes of Project 5 running underneath the dense waves of looped sounds, drums, and "field recordings" of TV preachers and politicians, but Hendrix says her intent behind the "music on top of the lyrics" approach is to get the message across "on a more visceral level." By stark contrast, the following "Talk to a Human" will bring the lyrics back to the foreground, with Hendrix directing her focus on the way we connect with each other in a social-media-driven world.
Last but not least in Project 5 will be the (as yet untitled) book, which Hendrix says is in the final draft stages and nearly ready for editing. She describes the memoir, started way back in 2003, as a brutally honest account of the ways she's dealt with the realities of being a performer with epilepsy. "Part of the intention is to educate those who know nothing about the condition, but it's also to let people who have it themselves be able to read about my journey and perhaps avoid some of my own pitfalls — or to find positive affirmation about their own choices."
Although she has yet to set a release date for the last three pieces of Project 5, Hendrix is determined to have it all done this year. Being her own label boss, she's always reserved the right to set her own deadlines, but the sooner she crosses that finishing line, the sooner she can move on to even bigger challenges — first and foremost being the securing of permanent land for the OYOU. For the last year, the non-profit has operated out of its temporary home at Quail Creek Country Club; that's where the OYOU held its second "Playing for Good" benefit in January, as well as a number of different music and songwriting workshops, this winter's Snowbird Concert Series, and a monthly support group for people living with epilepsy. But Hendrix has always aimed for the OYOU to ultimately have its own plot of land, and most important of all, its own fully handicapped-accessible building — a true all-ages community arts center to give back to the city that she's called home now for more than half her life. Because even though the 2015 inductee into the San Marcos Women's Hall of Fame insists that she'll always write and play music, she also knows that that's only part of the work she's meant to do in the time she still has ahead of her.
"I feel proud of all the music I've done to date, but my job is to keep reaching for a new level of artistic integrity — and to do all I can to not only make a positive difference while I'm here on this earth, but to build something that will hopefully continue to make a difference long after I'm gone."
The 2nd album in the Project 5 series.
"Terri Hendrix is a native Texan and a lifelong resident of the state. She's well steeped in the state's independent way of taking on and creating musical traditions. She's run her own label
since before that was a common, or cool, thing to do, and she's created a non profit arts center OYOU (an acronym for Own Your Own Universe). For her album Slaughterhouse Sessions, Hendrix
draws mainly on the folk blues/ gospel range of tradition, creating original songs that speak of faith and struggle and triumph hewed from day to day life and served up in a voice and with a
musical style that perfectly suits the silk meets burlap edge to the songs. Most songs are collaborations with long time musical cohort Lloyd Maines, with a few well chosen covers added in.
Henrdrix's distinctive voice and the pulsing rhythm she and Maines create run through all the music. Listen out for Troubles on Your Mind, One of These Mornings, and a fine take on A.P.
Carter's Sun of the Soul. Listen out for more from Hendrix, too: this is the second part of a five part project Hendrix is creating." — Kerry Dexter
The 1st album in the Project 5 series.
— Hector Saldana
"It takes an almost brutally honest songwriter to say "I wish the holidays brought out the best in me, these days are hard to spend with my family." There's a lot of variety, The Rant is frankly self-assertive ("I'd bet on me to win if I were you"), Texas Star, with Eliza Gilkyson harmonies, celebrates Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan, Molly Ivens and Liz Carpenter, Calle De Los Niños describes the funeral of a Mexican child lost to violence, Fifty Shades Of Hey showcases Hendrix's sense of humor and Mingulay Boat Song is an arrangement of a 30s Gaelic song, but I keep circling back to the sensational title track, "I wish you could trust me, I wish you could lose your doubt, the second-guessing I could do without." If she keeps this standard up for the next three albums, Project 5 will be a landmark in Texas music."
— John Conquest Third Coast Music

Developmental disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability are present during childhood or adolescence and last a lifetime. They affect the mind, the body, and the skills people use in everyday life: thinking, talking, and self-care. People with disabilities often need extra help to achieve and maintain good health. Oral health is no exception.
Over the past three decades, a trend toward deinstitutionalization has brought people of all ages and levels of disability into the fabric of our communities. Today, approximately 80 percent of those with developmental disabilities live in community-based group residences or at home with their families. Together with their caregivers, they now lool to practitioners in the community for dental services.
Providing oral care to patients with disabilities, however, is not without its challenges–or its rewards. Variations in mental capacity, behavior, and physical ability, for example, call for flexibility and creativity in the operatory. Some adaptation of the skills you use every day is also necessary to ensure safe and effective patient care. When the dental team is informed and prepared, most people with mild or moderate developmental disabilities can be treated successfully in the general practice setting.
Practical Oral Care for People With Developmental Disabilities is a series of publications designed to equip dental professionals with the basic information they need to deliver quality oral health care to people with special needs. This includes instilling confidence not only in treatment strategies, but also in the dental team's entire approach to the patient with developmental disabilities.
These concise publications provide background on developmental disabilities in general and address oral health problems common among affected persons. Strategies for care, covering such topics as mobility, neuromuscular and behavior problems, sensory impairment, and other treatment considerations, are discussed in the context of the general dental office.
Individual booklets on oral health and autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability offer practical guidance on adapting standard practices to accomodate people with disabilities.
To support your efforts in the dental office, a guide for caregivers has also been developed that details the important role they play at home in maintaining good oral health for their family member or client with special needs. A publication for the dental team on safe wheelchair transfer completes the series, which aims at reducing significant barrier to care by increasing provider knowledge of the oral health management of people with developmental disabilities.

Oracle CRM on Demand: Future, Roadmap and Strategy
Oracle CRM on Demand which was previously known as 'Siebel on Demand' has evolved long way from its acquisition by Oracle in 2006. Oracle CRM on Demand is a hosted SaaS (software as a service) application which provides deep Sales Force Automation functionalities with strong analytics along with Customer Service, Marketing and Contact Management functionalities. Oracle CRM on Demand is continuously evolved from Release 10 in 2006 to Release 27 in 2014. Initially after acquisition there was no major innovation pack for around 2 year however from Release 16 onwards Oracle has delivered Oracle CRM on Demand release in every 4 months [1]. Oracle CRM on Demand is now much more refined product and provides latest usability, mobility and extensibility solution.
Some of the key features of Oracle CRM on Demand available with latest release are:
Usability: Easy and Simple tablet inspired Interface to drive user adoptability. Modern Calendar, Maps and Proximity Search helps in follow up with customers and plan activities more accurately.
Mobility: CRM On Demand Connected Mobile Sales for Android, iOS, Blackberry devices and Oracle CRM on Demand Disconnected Mobile Sales for iPad users which helps in sales procedural compliance and also used for call submission on the go.
Extensibility: RESTful API's along with SOAP API's provides good integration options for rapid user interface customization and development of mobile application.
Integration: Can be easily integrated with Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes. Also, integration with Oracle Marketing Cloud for marketing automation, CPQ cloud for quote generation and complex pricing, and integration with JD Edwards and Oracle EBS for order management.
Social: Integration with Oracle's Social Relationship Management Suite for automatic lead creation through social campaigns, service request generation from social post, identification of negative influences on social media.
Oracle CRM on Demand is continuously improving and getting better and better with every release. However, with stiff competition in the CRM space we need to look at the Future, Roadmap and Strategy of product.
Future: Oracle CRM on Demand used to be lead CRM Cloud application for Oracle till 2011 and it was featured as 'Leader' in Gartner's Magic Quadrant till 2011[2]. With launch of Oracle Fusion Sales (re-named as Oracle Sales Cloud in 2013) Oracle CRM on Demand seems to be moved off the radar of many Technology Research Firms and also Oracle is promoting Oracle Sales Cloud as its lead CRM product. However, since Oracle CRM on Demand is part of Oracle's Applications Unlimited Lifetime Support Policy [3] and looking at the past releases, Oracle CRM on Demand customers are now assured that there will be continuous improvement and innovation in the product by Oracle.
Although Oracle Sales Cloud is now the lead cloud based CRM application of Oracle, customers who are looking for the trusted solution, ease of deployment, limited customization and value product can still consider Oracle CRM on Demand. Existing Customers will continue to get benefits from latest releases where major issues will be addressed by Oracle. Oracle CRM on Demand offers industry solutions [4] for Life Sciences, High Technology, Insurance, Automotive and Wealth Management Industries with industry specific updates planned in coming releases.
Roadmap and Strategy: Oracle has defined CRM on Demand roadmap [5] for the next 6 releases till 2016 focusing on enriching user experience along with integration and extensibility. There are many feature's which are now available and planned for Oracle Sales Cloud will eventually be made available in Oracle CRM on Demand . For example, latest user interface icons and tablet based format is inspired from Oracle Sales Cloud's Simplified User Interface , also features like Gmail integration, Business Card scanning will eventually be made available in Oracle CRM on Demand in coming releases.
Oracle has not yet defined clear strategy for Oracle CRM on Demand, whether it will get merged with Oracle Sales Cloud or there is a migration plan for existing CRM on Demand customers to Oracle Sales Cloud . Looking at the existing roadmap of Oracle CRM on Demand it seems that both product will co-exist independently till Oracle unfolds its next CRM strategy.

Tuesday, May 6, 2014/
First Quarter Moon Phase: branch out, take action
Moon in Leo
Ruling Mahavidya: Bhuvaneshvari and Tara
Skill: radiate light from your heart
Negative Imprint: self-centeredness, cutting others off
Positive Imprint: sharing and bringing others together
Today's energy carries the repeated signature of aiding, assisting, and cooperating with others. It is our combined effort with others that produces ripples of light that dance like streaking sparks across the field of consciousness. The power of this day is what indigenous people would call "big medicine." The effects are enormous.
Since the Moon in is Leo today and tomorrow, joining the Black Moon, our shadow sides are triggered. They can take on the flavors of jealousy, power struggles, and personal insecurity. It can feel like we are in a battle. But these are illusions of the material world - the matrix. We lift ourselves above these ordinary issues. We recognize that true value comes from our inner light - the humor, joy, and love that we carry and share. Come from that place inside you today, and you will do humanity and Gaia Sophia a great service. Remember, it's a "big medicine" day when the energy and mindset we hold carries far and wide.
If you need a kick start to get to that feeling, remember what it is like to hug your pet, hug your child, feel the Sun on your face, eat something delicious, or hear your favorite song. This will get you there fast and lighten your load.
It will also help to consider if a good deal of your energy is committed to tasks that do not bring satisfaction. The insight from this alone will free us. The result of today's efforts leads to renewed self-respect.
Don't miss the audio recording posted above with the overview of the current month's energies. It will pull together many of this month's themes. In today's spirit of collaboration, I would like to thank everyone who has donated to the Oracle Report. It completes the circuit of energy and strengthens the combined effort. If you find the information here valuable, please support us. Many are drawing from the well, and that energy needs to be returned to keep the flow cycling. Send a dollar or two, but if you are unable to do that, send a prayer of thanks. It all works. Sending streaking sparks of light and much love to all the wise owls out there!

As could be expected, the framework established by HCF led to much criticism from proponents of what HCF called hypothesis 2. Thus, in 2005, Pinker and Jackendoff (PJ) responded to HCF by asking:
"The faculty of language: what's special about it?"The controversy led to further discussion in the same year when Fitch, Hauser and Chomsky (FHC) defended their viewpoint in
"The evolution of the language faculty: Clarifications and implications"and Jackendoff and Pinker renewed their disagreement debating
"The nature of the language faculty and its implications for the evolution of language".PJ's first critique mainly focuses on the "recursion-only claim" of HCF, because they feel that there is more that is special to language. Furthermore, they question that recursion evolved as an exaptation (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 205). They especially defend the "Speech is Special" (SiS) hypothesis posed by Alvin Liberman and others, which was rejected by HFC (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 206), because it seems that the speech perception system and vocal production in humans have been specially adapted for language (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 206-209), and not for vocal imitation or size exaggeration as HCF suggested (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 209f.). They also assess that
"words, as shared, organized linkages of phonological, conceptual, and grammatical structures, are a distinctive language-specific part of human knowledge" (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 215).They also question the usefulness of the FLB/FLN distinction in general and criticize HCF/FHC's blurring of the difference between homology and analogy. (Jackendoff/Pinker 2005: 214-216) Further, they cite genetic evidence as an argument against the recursion-only claim, namely that the FOXP2-gene, though present for example in mice, chimpanzees, and humans has been positively selected in the human lineage, and is critical for
"articulation, production, comprehension, and judgments in a variety of domains of grammar, together with difficulties in producing sequences of orofacial movements"and not only for recursion (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 218).
Finally, they criticize Chomsky's Minimalist Program (MP) as a rationale of HCF's research program, which they find problematic because of the massive counterevidence against it. In their opinion, the adaptationist view of language seems much more plausible (Pinker/Jackendoff 2005: 231).
In their reply, FHC emphasize their independence of the MP (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 183), and stress that
"most of the data PJ discuss concern mechanisms that are part of FLB by definition, because related mechanisms exist in other species and/or other cognitive domains"(Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 204), which in their view clearly is an adaptation shaped by natural selection (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 189). They further argue that, though welcoming demonstrations
"that other mechanisms should be added to FLN" (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 204),SiS would not present a testable, strong hypothesis and thus could be accepted as given (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 219).
Citing the phoneme discrimination abilities by macaques and other evidence as arguments against SiS (Fitch/Hauser/ Chomsky 2005: 195), they conclude that their
"hypothesis 3 is not only plausible, but that no data refuting it currently exist" (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 205).FHC also introduce the current utility/functional origins dichotomy, on which I elaborated in chapter 3, and argue that
"from an empirical perspective, there are not and probably never will be data capable of discriminating among the many plausible speculations that have been offered about the original function(s) of language."Thus, Pinker and Jackendoff's framing of questions about language evolution would be of little scientific value (Fitch/Hauser/Chomsky 2005: 185f.) JP contradict this statement. In their view, current adaptation, "what the trait was selected for in the species being considered", poses one of the biologically most interesting questions about a trait and can be addressed empirically by reverse-engineering or functional analysis, which is able to "shed light on its likely evolutionary history." (Jackendoff/Pinker 2005: 212-214).
The debate regarding recursion heated up once again when Gentner et al. (2006) claimed to have found recursion-abilities in starlings, and Perruchet & Rey criticized Fitch and Hauser's original experiment that established the inability of monekys to master "phrase structure grammars" (Fitch & Hauser 2004). Regarding the ability of recursion in starlings, these two posts are especially interesting. First this one by Mark Liberman, and the other, where David Beaver regards the recursion-abilities of starlings which in the respect of center-embedded grammars actually seem to be better than ours, and comes to the ironical conclusion that
"we have firm and amazing evidence for a biologically unique language module. The trouble is, starlings have it, and we don't."Other excellent post from the Language Log about HCF's claims can be found here, here, here, here, and here.

The Ultimate 4-Acre Deer Plot
Thanks to Matt, a.k.a. Flatlander, for this progress report on the work he's been doing in his deer woods, very impressive:
Mike: Remember the hinge cutting we did on our little 4-acre timber last winter? Well, it's shaping up. We have opened up the south end to daylight to grow some food adjacent to the bedding cover we created.
I nicknamed it the "Arena" since sitting in the stand above this plot gives you the feel of a place that was built to watch beasts do battle. Come November we expect just that--hopefully bucks will be cruising the south end of this bedding cover to wind a hot doe.
Every detail has been thought out and taken into consideration--the length of plot (50 yards) with bow sighted to 55 yards; wind direction (it will be best hunted for NW to SW wind); there's even a tree trunk left standing and notched out for a canister of my favorite Code Blue scent. Also, a few hardwoods were left to provide partial shade and a place to mount trail cams.
The food plot has everything deer love--sorghum/milo for cover/bed/food…a mix of soybeans/oats/Austrian winter peas… brassicas/radish/turnips…and a clover patch. They will love this spot, there is water on the west edge and crop fields on East and South.
I will report back as the Arena progresses and pass along what we learn. I hope for success but learn from failures too. But it should be interesting. Thanks, Flatlander
Learn from Matt's work because this is a good example of how you build a practical, affordable and top-notch hunting spot. There's a good variety of food (clover, etc. for early hunting and brassicas, etc. for late season) cover, edge and water. The Arena is well thought out for its proximity to crop fields, as well as the best winds and stand placement for hunting. I expect Matt to do well here and we look forward to more progress reports and pictures--especially the one in November when whacks a good buck in the Arena. comment
where you can hunt a big ranch and move around and look.
But back to this post: This Midwest property of Matt's is more than 4-5 acres, it's just that he's managing these specific 4 acres within the property for better habitat and one great stand. Hard-core bowhunters don't get tired/bored of hunting a good stand, they are patient and wait and usually get a shot a big boy, like I hope Matt does this Nov.
i have another 5 acre spot 15 miles down river that is great from Oct. 1- crops being out, and other spots that are better in later November. i live in the biggest county in Illinois (square miles) and i don't know of a single privately owned track of woods that is over 500 acres, or even close.........lots of 5, 10, 20, 40 and the occassional 80 acre tract of hunting land....... we have to not only out hunt the deer but out hunt the other hunters...... if i had 500 acres of land to myself i would be tagged out before Halloween with both buck tags.......reading human intrusion and how the deer pattern people is key where i am at........that's why making a piece as small as 4 acres look attractive is so vital........... but it's still hunting, anything can happen
hinge cut seems to be working great by us as well... lots of beds. Just 80 yards from our food plots. Thanks for the info Flat...good luck this fall
i would love to have big land to hunt but you do with what you have and if that means finding out when and where big bucks live and travel and set up for them when i can and wait them out i will.......... most won't so patients does give you an upper hand in Illinois....
luck doesn't hurt either HA....

Stenciling Stencils
I have had so much fun of late (Feb 2016) with
stencils and rubber stamps and Gelatos and Brusho Watercolors. So I have decided to carry some stencils on the website.
They are great for creating backgrounds with depth and you can use will any medium. You don't need a paste to work with them-
use your chalks, ink sprays, acrylic paints, watercolors, inks, chalks, etc. and you can also use paste. You can
also just use them with pencils or pens and trace around them to add to your paper.Painter's Tape is also a handy tool to use with them to adhere or secure the stencil so it doesn't
move and you get the best image.
This is a bag I made in a class at a local store called Creative Chaos. The bag was prepared with
gesso. Gelatos were used to put the layer of color down. Stencils were used to add texture in the background and
for the items in the foreground. A Fineliner was filled with Faber Castell Chalkboard paint
and the scribbled border was done using those (which are also great).
The Crafters Workshop Mini Raven Mosaic Stencil~ This is a 6"x6" stencil for all your
mixed media and paper arts. They can be used in card making, scrapbooking. art journaling, sponging, spraying, chalking,
acrylics and more. I use them with my Gelatos by scribbling the Gelato over the stencil and then using a stencil brush
and work it in that way and works great. The Crafter's Workshop stencils are some of my favorite and a great bang for
your buck with so many designs on them. You can use all or part of any design, with one stencil you have many options.
This stencil was designed by Rebekah Meier.$4.99 OUT OF STOCK
Sorry for the picture, my skills at that have not improved over the years. It was always easier
to scan things. I was unable to find any cover for my Kindle Fire locally so I purchased a tablet cover in the office
supplies section of Walmart and adapted the inside with some hook and eye tape to hold the Kindle (I don't use the picture
function of it, but can easily remove from the Velcro when I want to). I also added some Foamie to the side opposite
so that the face of the Kindle would not be marred. I taped out the section I wanted to cover with Gesso, then I used
Gelatos and stencils to add texture to the piece. I used the stencil above in several places on it and I used the webbing,
crown and circle and some stripes. That is quickly becoming my go to stencil for all the choices. So, I like it
much better now and just another way you can incorporate stencils and your artwork into everyday life.
A close up of one section of the above picture. You can see the use of the stencils a little better in this picture.
The Crafter's Workshop Mini Winged Exploration 6"x6"Stencil~This stencil is designed
by Gabrielle Pollacco. I think she did a fine job! I used the larger, 12x12, size of this stencil when I stenciled
the bag at the top of the page. I love this size for the stencils because I like to work with smaller ATC sized pieces
but this will also work for larger pieces too. This also has many items on it to use in your pieces. In my sample
above I used the dragonfly, but did not place the word dragonfly with it, I also used the drips from the butterfly wings alone,
so there are many options with the stencils. Sold per stencil.$4.99
The Crafter's Workshop Mini Geometric Art Layers 6"x6" Stencil~ This cool stencil was
designed by Ronda Palazzari. This has soooo much going for it, just about any design you could ask for. In other
stencil companies, it might take you 5 or 6 different stencils to get all the designs in this. You have numbers, x's,
triangles, bricks, some alphabet, circles and more. It is so nice to purchase one tool and have so many options with
The Crafter's Workshop Mini Harlequin Circles 6"x6" Stencil~ This stencil is designed
by Rebekah Meier. There is something about the harlequin design that I really like. As with the other stencils,
you also have a nice array of designs to use in your stenciling projects, harlequin design, circles, lines and more.
Stencils are compatible with so many different mediums that you could just never grow bored with the uses.$4.99
The Crafter's Workshop Mini Fifties Clock 6"x6" Stencil~This
stencil was designed by Balzer Designs. I love geometric designs. I found that out in my years of rubberstamping.
I first started with kind of cute ones but then I found I always gravitated to geometric designs. I think there several
ways to use this to get a big bang for your buck. You have different sizes of ovals, use them in a circular fashion
or just use a leg of it. $4.99
Metal Stencil, Tall Poppy~ This was designed by Lynell Harlow. It measures 5 1/2" tall and 2" wide. This
stencil lends itself to many mediums also including acrylics, oils, watercolors, inks, chalks, sprays and more. To keep
a stencil from moving, get a painter's tape from the hardware store and use that to adhere the stencil to your project.
It then can be removed without hurting your project-great stuff. You can also use this stencil in several ways, using
just one flower or a bud, turn on it side and use the wavy stems, etc.$6.99
Dylusions Luscious Leaves 5"x8" Stencil~ This stencil
was designed by Dyan Reavely. It offers several different sizes of leaves and rectangles and I love the way
the rectangle starts smaller and gets larger. This stencil has been discontinued so get it while you can.$5.29
Dylusions Blocks, 5"x8" Stencil~ This stencil
is designed by Dyan Reavely. It offers assorted sizes and shapes of blocks. I really like the look of this one.
Some blocks are vertical and some horizontal.$5.29
Dylusions Chequered Dots 5"x8" Stencil~
This stencil is designed by Dyan Reavely. It has at least 8 different sizes of circles and assorted sizes of rectangles.
Add each design by itself -like 1 circle or use in a square of circles and the rectangles. I like the undulating line
of the rectangles.$5.29
Clarity Stencils Abstract Squares Stencil Set~ This is a set of 2 stencils, as shown
in the picture that has the pink on it. I added one with the back paper background so you can get a better feel of this
set. The measure 7x7 and are 350 micron-a heavy-duty, robust quality, which can handle any ink types but also acrylic
paints. This is according to their description. I am drawn to this set because I love geometric shapes.
You can use one block, all blocks or a certain other number in your art work. They also say these are great for stippling,
spongeing, spritzing and they are even paper embossable with most die cutting machines. I have a sample I made-just
a quickie, I just traced around the shapes, added some color and just stamped an eye onto it. You get 2 stencils, they
are packed with one on the front and one on the back- just so you know because at first glance, it just looks like one.$12.99
I think this old bookkeeping journal inspired me for these stencils. It had all the design on it, I painted some
gesso into a few squares and then used Gelatos and stencils to add the color and texture in it. This book was stained
so the paint was a welcome change.
PLEASE make sure your Paypal ADDRESS is CORRECT before placing your
order. Thanks! It also helps to have a correct email address if I need to contact you re your order. Thanks.

Abvent unveils Twinmotion 2018 powered by Unreal Engine + comes to the Mac!
Abvent has begun posting teasers for Twinmotion 2018, the next update to its real-time visualisation tool. Features include a new core architecture powered by Unreal Engine and live links to Revit and ArchiCAD.
An intuitive real-time visualisation tool for architectural professionals
Originally created by French architectural visualisation studio KA-RA, Twinmotion is now developed in partnership with Artlantis creator Abvent, which released Twinmotion 2015 and 2016.
Intended as an easy way for architectural professionals to create photorealistic visualisations of buildings, the software imports models in a standard range of 3D file formats, including FBX, DWG and DAE.
Users can create background environments from a library of stock models and textures, and assign lights.
Atmospheric properties – including clouds, rain and snow, and ambient lighting based on geographical location and time of day – can be adjusted via slider-based controls.
There are also brush-based systems for editing topography or adding animatiable vegetation to a scene, and a Bezier-based system for pathing animated crowds or traffic.
The software also includes a basic camera editor and a set of standard post-process effects.
New in TwinMotion 2018: powered by Unreal Engine, live links to Revit and ArchiCAD
To that, TwinMotion 2018 adds new live-linking plugins synchronising the software with Revit and ArchiCAD. Changes made to the CAD design are automatically propagated to the visualisation.
But the big news – at least, the most visually appealing – is that the software is now powered by UE4.
The video at the top of the story is essentially a showcase of the kind of visual quality achievable in Unreal Engine itself, and includes work by Koola and Factory Fifteen.
Watch all of the feature demos for Twinmotion 2018 on Abvent's website

5 Ways to Prepare for Pope Francis
Abigail Benjamin
Sunday Homily from Father Colin, St. Mary's Parish in Hagerstown, PA
Our Holy Father is coming for a historic visit to the United States. Here are 5 things to do to prepare for his visit.
1. Pray
2. Listen to what the Lord is asking you do to creatively inside your own life.
3. Watch the Pope on TV! Listen to his actual words, don't settle for hearing the recap of what someone else says that Pope Francis said.
4. Enter into conversations with others. This is a time to talk about our faith easily with others and to invite more people into the Catholic church.
5. Serve others.

Planning All Saints Day - Ideas for Worship PlannersNovember 1, All Saints DayWho Are the Saints?Honoring the saints has been a feature of Christian worship from the origins of the church, when names of local martyrs were included in the Sunday eucharistic prayer.Soon, special days were set aside for remembering martyrs and other exemplary Christians whom individual Christian communities proclaimed to be saints by consensus. When the church became centralized, local saint making was replaced by a more universal and controlled process called "canonization." Eventually, only the "official saints" were liturgically commemorated as models of faith. Many seemed too lofty to imitate, however, and a gulf opened between saints and "ordinary" Christians.Because the saints were thought to share Christ's saving work, Christians relied heavily on their intercession, praying to them and venerating their relics. In the late medieval church, the influence of the saints was enormous. When Protestant reformers shaped new churches, they democratized sanctity, retrieving Paul's teaching that saints are all whom God justifies through grace by faith alone. Rather than a posthumous honor for the extraordinary few, sainthood is the common calling of all who are baptized. This was a favorite insight of the Puritans, who routinely called each other "saints."All Saints DayAs early as the fourth century, days were set aside to commemorate all the saints at once. This was done to honor unknown saints and to remedy deficiencies in people's observance of a particular saint's day. The most enduring of these commemorations in the Catholic Church falls on November 1. All Saints Day is now celebrated on or near this date by many Protestants, too. We do not canonize or pray to saints, but we look to these towering figures of our heritage for inspiration and encouragement in our own Christian pilgrimage. Some churches use All Saints Day as an opportunity to learn more about these great saints. Others focus broadly on the "great cloud of witnesses," living and dead, whose seemingly humdrum lives glow with everyday virtues. Still others observe the day as a memorial for members who died during the year. All these emphases are in the spirit of the day, but worship planners could minimize the parochialism and sentimentality that can result if a community focuses exclusively on local loved ones. All Saints Day should challenge us by presenting us with a variety of figures from different times and places whose oftencontradictory styles of faithfulness enlarge our notion of what it means to be a disciple and a saint.Honoring the Saints: Some IdeasAll Saints Day is primarily an ecclesial celebration—a celebration of the church's abundant life, the Spirit's gifts, and the grateful responsiveness of God's holy people. Planners should stress foundational themes of Christian life—grace, the gift of faith, baptism, the ministry of all believers, the communion of saints, the sanctifying work of the Spirit, and the cost and joy of discipleship (note that the lectionary gospel text for Year A is Matthew's version of the Beatitudes). Doing so will help to distinguish All Saints Day from purely secular commemorations of the dead, such as Memorial Day. Here are some suggestions for worship and related activities:Celebrate Holy Communion and BaptismTaking into account people with special needs, gather the people in a circle around the table or in front to emphasize the radically egalitarian, inclusive nature of the communion of saints. During the eucharistic prayer, recite a Litany of All the Saints in which God is praised for the example of both local and universal saints. Intersperse verses of "For All the Saints" or a song from another culture or language as the response.Recognize First CommunionIf your congregation admits young children to communion after a period of instruction, make All Saints Day a "first communion day." Write a welcome prayer or special blessing for little saints who come to the table for the first time to be sanctified by the Spirit along with the offered bread and cup and the whole assembly.Renew Baptismal VowsSee resources in the Book of Worship for baptism (pages 127–66) and the Easter Vigil (pages 225–23). Open the service with a sprinkling (asperges) to "refresh" the memory of baptismal commitment, or, at the offering, invite people to come forward and have water poured over their hands while a hymn or anthem with baptismal themes is sung.Emphasize the Ministry of the BaptizedHave members come to worship dressed in "holy work clothes" — suits, uniforms, aprons, baby pouches, lab coat, overalls, and hard hats. During the education or fellowship hour, create an opportunity for celebrating the diverse ways God is made known and the world is ministered to by the work and example of the saints.Have Children and Youth Research the "Heroes" Who Gathered the CongregationPrepare a song, mime, dance, or skit about them. Perform it as a Call to Worship, or perform it in place of a sermon. Construct life-size figures of these saints and carry them in a festive opening procession, positioning them around the sanctuary as a "cloud of witnesses." Have them lead the congregation out into the world after the benediction.Conduct a Bible Study on Matthew's BeatitudesIn small groups, have members compose biographies of saints they have read about or have known, taking notes of the ways in which each saint lived the spirit of the Beatitudes. Participants may then write their spiritual autobiographies, reflecting on the Beatitudes they experience in their own lives. Gather all these stories into a large binder and bring it forward to be included in the blessings of the people's gifts at the offertory on All Saints Day, or read selections from the binder as additional lessons in the service.In addition to the lectionary readings (Rev. 7:9–17; Ps. 34:1–10, 22; 1 Jn. 3:1–3; and Mt. 5:1–12), the following texts are appropriate: Is. 25:6–9; Ps. 24:1–6; Eccl. (Sir.) 44:1–19 and 2:11; Wis. 3:1–9; Eph. 1:11–23; Lk. 1:46–55; 6:20–36; and Mt. 25:31–46. Hymns with baptismal, communion, and consummation themes may be chosen. Hymns about the church are also apt. See The New Century Hymnal numbers 298, 299, 304, 306–309, 311, 313–314, 374–385, 595–605, 407, 448, 451, and 454.Information about traditional saints can be found in many bookstores and on the Internet. Most are Roman Catholic sources, but can easily be adapted. A popular history of saint making in the Catholic tradition is Making Saints by Kenneth Woodward. Among Tommie DePaolo's many wonderful children's books are a few about saints, including a marvelous book on St. Francis of Assisi.Mary Luti is the senior minister of First Church in Cambridge, Congregational, United Church of Christ.

Posts tagged 'soloist'
Back to the Future at TMC!
A return to a spiritual/musical home in my life!
Recently, I had the great privilege of attending the morning service on Sunday at The First Church of Christ, Scientist – also known as The Mother Church (TMC). It's the worldwide headquarters of the Christian Science church where I served as the Soloist for 7 years.
It's been 4 years since I took my last turn as Soloist at TMC, and it was a joy to return and be a part of the congregation.
While there, I felt the past, present and future all combined in one. The past: feeling the foundation of this church!, wonderful memories, being back in this grand place, and seeing friends and colleagues. The present: experiencing the perpetually holy and healing service in full bloom as a congregation member. The future: Sitting with a congregation of new faces which included new Readers about to begin their tenure! (more…)
No Emotion
This is an article by Peter Link from his blog Sparks From The Fire. "No Emotion" is a response to one singer's feelings about how music should (or should not) be performed in a church worship service. Peter's answer, written from the point of view of a lyricist/composer of inspirational songs, is an illuminating and even instructive jumping off point for further discussion…
There is so much to explore on this subject! At least that is true for me as I continue the journey of performing inspirational music in the church worship service. I hope this article will spark ideas for you and your services.
No Emotion
Peter Link
A woman called several weeks ago to thank me for a sacred song I'd written that she sang as a solo in church. We had a most friendly talk and near the end of the conversation she said proudly, "I just want to assure you that I sing your songs with absolutely no emotion." (more…)

Mountain fable
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel;
And the former called the latter "Little Prig."
Bun replied,
"You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together,
To make up a year
And a sphere.
And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not as large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry.
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track;
Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."

Dries' vision for Drupal 8
- 04 January, 2012 16:45
In January last year the developers of popular open source content management system Drupal celebrated the release of version 7. Drupal 7 included significant architectural changes as well as usability enhancements.
The take-up of Drupal 7 in the 12 months since its release, according to Drupal's creator and lead developer Dries Buytaert, has been fantastic, with security notification requests from Drupal installations to Drupal.org suggesting that it is being adopted almost twice as fast as the previous version of the CMS.
"That being said we're still waiting for contributed modules to be upgraded; as these get released I suspect it will continue to spike up," Buytaert, who is also the chief technology officer of Acquia, told Techworld Australia.
Buytaert is yet to determine a release date for the Drupal 8, but already he has flagged some plans for what should be addressed in the next version. Buytaert divides these ideas into four main points.
The number one focus of the development work on Drupal 8 will be mobile, Buytaert says -- or, more specifically, "multichannel". "I usually simplify this as mobile but it's not just mobile, it could also be publishing to a TV or something else," Buytaert says. "It's really going multichannel where the primary new channel would be a mobile channel, through Web services native mobile applications for say iOS or Android, but also adopting HTML5 as the default output format in Drupal 8 so that we can better build mobile Web experiences."
A second focus is the editorial experience, Buytaert says. "A lot of people work with Drupal and there is many things that we can do to make it easier for them to edit and manage content from within the system.
"All the way from how they manage media assets to content staging, all of these things, and lots of usability improvements as part of that."
Thirdly will be to address one of the issues raised by the growth in popularity of Drupal. "In the enterprise right now Drupal is really rapidly being adopted for some of the largest websites in the world and they're running into issues that Drupal wasn't necessarily running into four years ago. The needs of the largest organisations in the world are slightly different."
In many respects Drupal has become a Web platform rather than a mere CMS, and so to aid organisations that want to standardise on Drupal for their sites, "we need to make sure Drupal works well for the largest websites". "That includes specifics like configuration management, content staging, [and] universally unique identifiers."
Fourthly is making sure Drupal remains easy for developers to work with: "There are APIs that we want to clear up, user interfaces that we want to clean up, documentation that we want to clean up. So I guess a bunch of clean up work to leverage the latest version of PHP to leverage the latest design patterns; all of these things."
"That's very important for developers because Drupal is not just an end user tool but also a platform, or a framework if you will, that developers use to build pretty custom apps," Buytaert says.
"[Developers] really use the framework piece of Drupal versus the product piece, and so we want to make sure that they love working with Drupal. So it's something I'm very keen on: To really make the developer community happy.
"I think traditionally we've been very successful at doling so as well, which is why compared to most other CMSes why we have such large developer audience for Drupal. I want to keep investing in developers and making them successful."
Buytaert may have these plans for what he wants to see in Drupal 8, but the release date is yet to be worked out. "I would say Drupal 8 is probably, and it's a big probably, maybe two years away," he says. The release date will be determined in part by the continuing transition of organisations and developers to Drupal 7.
"What we're doing with Drupal 8 is we're tackling a number of big problems, so I think we want to release Drupal 8 when two things happen: One [is that] Drupal 7 is the de facto release; everybody is using Drupal 7 instead of Drupal 6 or Drupal 5.
"The books that have been written about Drupal have been updated to Drupal 7. All the Drupal developers ... need to train themselves to go from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, because we made some pretty massive improvements; that is currently happening. The Drupal world is switching from six to seven and it's trickling down to everybody involved in Drupal. That needs to be compelted before I can release Drupal 8."
The other thing is that that needs to happen is that "[a] number of these bigger initiatives need to get into Drupal 8, because once Drupal 8 is ready you want people to migrate to it. And for people to migrate to Drupal 8 you need to give them a compelling reason, which means new features and functionality."
Dries Buytaert will be speaking at Drupal Downunder in Melbourne, January 13-15 2012.

Espgaluda II Black Label from Cave on Xbox 360
View Back Of Case
Back once again after the delightful PS2 version and bursting with ideas and inventiveness, enough to put the spark back into the most jaded of veteran gamers, if not a pink bullet or two. The modes show Caves devotion to its followers: the self explanatory Arcade, the HD capable 360 Mode, Omake or bonus Mode where dicing with death is encouraged to build up the score multiplier, the mish mash Arrange Mode and Black Label where taking hits is the way forward and best to suit Genkis shooter talents. Checking out online play may just make you want to hide away in a deep, dark mountain, but the game is full of wholesome Cave loving and sunshine.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Civil-rights and labor activist Dolores Huerta says the abortion debate in Albuquerque is attracting national attention.
Huerta – who, along with César Chávez, co-founded United Farm Workers – visited the city Tuesday morning to speak out against the proposal to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. She said she heard about it from relatives who live in New Mexico and from national organizations she works with.
Huerta, 83 and a mother of 11, called the proposed ordinance "an assault on the rights of women."
The city has scheduled a Nov. 19 election on the proposal, which was brought forth after supporters gathered thousands of petition signatures. They describe Albuquerque as a leading provider of late-term abortions and say the ordinance is necessary to protect the unborn.
Huerta was born in Dawson, N.M., but now lives in Bakersfield, Calif.
Campaigning is not over yet
Forget about Halloween. Here's what's really scary: Albuquerque is in for about five more weeks of campaigning.
The race for mayor concluded Oct. 8, but the abortion ordinance and a runoff in City Council District 7 (the Uptown area) are about to go before voters.
The city clerk will start mailing absentee ballots next week, and absentee applications can already be downloaded from www.cabq.gov/clerk.
One early voting location – to be announced – will open next week. The remaining locations will open the following week, on Oct. 30.
Election Day is Nov. 19.
Wage increase
Albuquerque's minimum wage is headed up again.
Starting Jan. 1, the minimum for most employees will climb to $8.60, a 1.2 percent increase from this year's $8.50 requirement.
The voter-approved wage ordinance includes a provision for automatic increases each year, based on inflation.
Employers who provide a certain level of health-care benefits get a $1 break on the wage, so they have to pay only $7.60, starting next year. The minimum for tipped employees will be $5.16 an hour.
Recycling made easy
The city has completed its rollout of the blue recycling bins. The bins increase the types of materials accepted for curb-side recycling, and they make it much easier to store your recyclables during the week.
Mayor Richard Berry said he hopes the bins will help Albuquerque divert 25 percent of its waste away from the landfill, up from about 5 percent.

Under the big top
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is announcing he is running for president today. I am actually a fan of Gingrich's. I enjoy reading his books. I enjoy hearing him speak about history and the issues of our day. I remember when Gingrich was trying to push the Old Guard of the House GOP out of the way so the Republicans could finally win a majority.
Unfortunately, I also remember Gingrich as Speaker of the House and how well that went. I am also aware of his many personal failings. It's also apparent to anyone who has watched Gingrich's career that his mind is as undisciplined as his personal behavior, and he's capable of embracing causes that are odd for conservative Republicans.
Lack of discipline seems to be the common denominator in his life: personal, political, intellectual.
Part of me would like to believe that Gingrich would make a great president. On the other hand, he wasn't that great of a manager as Speaker of the House. As the Republican Party's nominee, Gingrich would be a disaster.
Meanwhile, my wife, the Lovely Doreen from Waukesha, and I have been getting calls from Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann. During the last election cycle my wife made a small donation to her campaign. When I told my wife about the calls, she laughed and said Bachmann probably spent more in phone calls than my wife donated. I said, "yeah, well, she's running for president now, so she needs every donation she can get."
My wife was shocked. "No, no, no. It's one thing to donate just to {annoy} the liberals, but president?"
Then there is former Alaska Governor and reality TV Star Sarah Palin. I have always liked Sarah Palin. I think she's smart, certainly smarter than her reputation. I think she's right on most of the issues. I think if she had served another term as governor before getting picked by McCain to be his running mate, we could talk about her as a serious candidate for president.
I also really enjoyed her reality television show in Alaska. I thought it was very well done. I think Palin is a great ambassador for her state if given the chance.
If given the chance.
Palin is such a polarizing figure there is no way the public at large will ever hear anything she says. She's not a politician, she's a celebrity. I know people objected to Palin getting paired up with Kate Gosselin on television, but they're both reality television celebrities. Only Gosselin is on the cover of People Magazine and Palin is on the cover of Time Magazine.
The other day there was a story linked on Yahoo about whether Sarah Palin's daughter had her cheek bones done. (Yes, I'm ashamed I clicked it. And they looked to my untrained eye like they were redone.)
For all the complaining by conservatives about Barack Obama becoming president because of his celebrity status, complaints that are certainly justified, we would be doing the same thing if we nominated Palin for president. It's not just hypocritical. It's just wrong to do. It would also be a disaster.
Look, annoying the liberals is fun. All three candidates would really, really annoy the liberals. But they won't help us reach our goals. Instead of grasping the lightning rods, I'm hoping the Republican Party finds a candidate with a broader appeal. Let's not repeat the Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell mistakes on a presidential level.

Spent the biggest part of my day in the recliner under a blanket not feeling worth a darn. My throat was really bothering me & I did a lot of sleeping. I am cautiously optimistic tonight though because I'm feeling better & the sore throat seems to be finally backing off. Maybe whatever it was has finally run it's course. We'll see how things are in the morning. If the problem persists I will slip up to the Goderich Hospital Monday morning. Like most guys, I do not like having to go to Emerge unless it is absolutely necessary. And, how nice to look at the calendar for June & not see it filled with medical appointments like the month of May was.
I see more & more folks using the 'reply' feature in their blog commenting sections. Thought about it for a bit but for me it just adds an extra something else for me to forget. I'm having enough trouble with my short term memory as it is without adding any more things to my 'remember list'. When I leave a comment on someone's post I rarely go back to see if the poster or another commenter has commented on my comment. I just never think to do that. Guess I have always enjoyed the comment section as just that, a comment section rather than a two way communication tool. Just me trying to make things easier for myself. Much the same reason I never pursued Google+, Pinterest, or Twitter any further. Ten years ago I would have enjoyed being right in the middle of all that stuff.....but, that was 10 years ago. I have to follow the KISS formula these days. 'Keep It Simple Stupid'
My fault for not explaining what TSC meant in my post Thursday night. I know how annoying it is when people use letters without explaining what they mean. Tractor Supply Company, (sometimes described as a Country Hardware Store) is correct & they are in both the States & Canada. In fact, we pass a big TSC supply depot somewhere down around Indianapolis somewhere when we use that route. TSC is kind of geared to the farming & ranching communities. It's a great Guy's store & I like their rugged & practical clothing lines. And Jenny, it was just one shirt I bought Thursday. At nearly $7 a crack I had to be pretty careful not to spend my whole allowance in one place:))
In Friday's post of the vase & shadow, a commenter correctly guessed about the Century Plant casting the Kokopelli shadow. That particular seed pod came directly from Blair Valley's Ghost Mountain in California back on January 3rd 2008. Below is a few photos of Kelly carrying a couple Agave stocks as we headed down the trail from the Marshal South Homestead. We carried one of them all the way back to Canada & part of it is now in that vase. The stock itself sits in a wooden barrel on our front porch. I'm thinking we might have picked that Vase up in Quartzsite, Arizona. And, regarding the other photo of Kelly & the Pheebs in the chair. No, they weren't sleeping, just doing some big hugs & snuggles:))
How exciting for Karen & Steve over at SMALL HOUSE...BIG BACK YARD. Their house has just sold & they are standing at the brink of a whole new great big adventure. I will reprint my comment to them because it sums up how I feel about their upcoming Full Time adventures......"I can sure feel & understand your excitement. It is a welcome lifestyle change & you will be the better for it both mentally & physically. You are standing at the brink of a great adventure that few people get to experience. How nice to have the whole North American Continent at your feet. And, how nice to trade in a previous lifestyle for something so new & refreshingly exciting. Go for it guys.....I envy you".

William "Bill" Hanna was an American animator, director, and producer. After directing several theatrical shorts for MGM's Tom and Jerry, with Joseph Barbera, they went onto established their own animation studio, Hanna-Barbera, creating such well-known household cartoon characters of the 20th century, such as Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, the Flintstones, Jonny Quest, and Scooby-Doo.
He directed the first two series of Scooby-Doo, before stepping down, while continuing to produce all productions involving the Scooby-Doo character until his death at 90 on March 22, 2001, due to esophageal cancer. The direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase was dedicated to him. After this, the company was fully absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation.

Word allows you to place one table within another table, which can be handy for some complex document layouts. To place a table within a table, follow these steps:
That's it; the secondary table should be completely within the cell in which the insertion point was located in step 2. You may notice that the top and bottom borders of the secondary table you inserted are very close to the top and bottom borders of the cell in which the table was placed. If you want more separation between the cell and table borders, modify your creation steps just slightly:

Peter is correct - a table within a table (a 'nested table') is fine if this is in a document that will never be copied from, saved as a new version, converted to a different Word version, compared as a redline, or converted to PDF.
But if you intend to do any of the above, it is much better to split the cells as needed (drawing tools for tables can be the most efficent for creating that complex structure) because that leaves the table as one object, which is much more stable, especially in cross-application or cross-version functions.
2014-08-11 03:45:50
I think there are two disadvantages with this approach. Firstly, you are using a nested structure, I suspect that Word is not always good at these. Secondly, by default you get a small gap round the embedded table (but this might be what you want).
There is an alternative method, instead of inserting a nested table why not split the cell? The result on the page can be identical. The difference is that Word only sees one table.
Does anyone have any views – or better still evidence – to say which is the more stable and hence better approach?
