Mindy Aloff reviews the opening night at the Ashton Festival.
A Crowd-Pleaser, a Moonwalk, and a Stunning "Enigma": the Ashton Celebration Opens
Frederick Ashton was a genius, without question; however, his work is not everyones cup of tea. Happily for me, it is mine, with watercress sandwiches and scones lathered in Devonshire cream. Of the four ballets on this opening program, all of which I first saw with their original casts, and two of which Ive seen with several casts from both sides of the Atlantic, it seems to me that Monotones II, for three (to use Arlene Croces excellent word) saltimbanques, who seem to be spelling out a hymn to purity with their bodies on a rivulet of the Milky Way, is among the great works of abstract art from the 20th century, in any medium: worthy to be set beside a canvas by Mondrian or a sculpture by Brancusi. Enigma Variations, a demi-caractère epic of Edwardian sensibility, with classical underpinnings, about the interior life of an artist in his garden on an autumn afternoon, is among the greatest ballets in history. Monotones I, for a trio of terrestrials whose reference point is a sun that, although invisible to the audience, clearly dwarfs them, is the product of a master craftsman who understands how what can be seen testifies to what cant: frequently beautiful, often surprising, an enticement to the eye on multiple viewings. Rhapsody, a chamber ballet for 14, in which a handsome interloper invades a court, overtakes it by dint of sheer bravura, and gets the queen, too, was made as a star vehicle for Mikhail Baryshnikov. While not top-drawer Ashton, it roused the audience on Tuesday more than his masterpieces. Enigma Variations was politely applauded; the reception for Rhapsody was tumultuous. Its not the way I would want things to be, but one cant legislate peoples responses in the theater, even when ones heart is breaking over the crowds choice.

WEIRTON - For 20 years, members of the Weirton Heights Church of Christ have been giving comfort to patients at a local hospital as part of a special project.
Since 1993, members of the church have been making 9-inch bears as a way to provide some comfort to children, and some adults, who are in distress.
Fifty of these "Boo-Boo" bears are delivered each week to Weirton Medical Center, according to church members, divided between the emergency room, recovery, lab and pediatrics. The bears are primarily given to children who are at the hospital for various medical needs.

Over the 20 years since the project began, 29,000 bears have been created. The cost of materials for each bear averages out to approximately $1, and the church has received donations of material to assist in making the bears.
The project was influenced by a woman who worked in the winter months making bears with a Church of Christ in Florida.
A pattern and instructions to create the bears was published in the July 1991 edition of "Christian Woman" magazine.
Church members explained congregations across the country have taken on similar projects over the years in their own communities.

Let's say I have a bag full of sugar candy. Some will be whole, some will be dent, some will be broken (in part, or half, etc). Let's say I have a device with an input box where I empty the bag, and the device has two output boxes where it start placing the whole candies in one box, and all the dented/broken one in the other box. What principle of the physic could use the device, to be able to tell the whole candies from the dented/broken ones?

Questions on Physics Stack Exchange are expected to relate to physics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The mechanism you would use to identify the candies would be one of computer vision (which is off topic for this site try http://stats.stackexchange.com/). However, the exact mathematical method you would/could use to determine the broken candies from the okay ones depends on the shape of these candies. Lets say for arguments sake that they were spherical; in this case you would use the Hough Transform to determine which once were broken etc.
I hope this is of some help.
For the broken ones, weight will work. For the dented ones, you have a much harder problem, particularly if you consider arbitrarily small dents.
For the broken ones, weight works, as Jim Graber says. For the dented ones, you should design a slide that rolls the candies along, and separates the ones that roll smoothly into a track and the ones that don't into a separate track. The rolling requires some symmetry of the candy, but it will snag the bad ones.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A spokesman says porn star Ron Jeremy is recovering from surgery at a Los Angeles hospital after an aneurysm near his heart sent him to intensive care.
Agent Mike Esterman says in an email to The Associated Press that he and others were waiting for Jeremy to awake Wednesday night after a smooth procedure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Esterman says the 59-year-old Jeremy had a heavy feeling in his chest and drove himself to the hospital, where diagnosed the aneurysm and put him in the intensive care unit.
One of the best-known names in the porn industry, Jeremy has said he's appeared in more than 2,000 adult films.
While officially retired he still shows up in films and public events, and appeared in the reality TV series "The Surreal Life."

Repairing A Rusty B-body Framerail - Framerail RepairWritten by on December 1, 2007 Is Frame Replacement Too Much? Maybe A Safe-T-Cap Is For You
Last month with the help of Muscle Car Restorations, we showed you how to replace the rear framerails on a B-Body. The outline we gave is basically applicable to all Mopar body styles, and we hoped it would give our more experienced, hands-on guys a guide so they can save their Mopars, if the need is there. Now we also realize that many of our readers may not be able to tackle such an in-depth and seemingly complicated job at home, but what's a guy to do? What if you really want to drive your Mopar, but you have found a rusty framerail or rails that just make it unsafe to drive the car. Whatever you do, DO NOT simply get rid of the car because you don't think it's fixable without major surgery. It is fixable, and we're here to show you how.
Short of doing a complete frame replacement, how is a guy to fix such a dilemma? Enter Safe-T-Cap-a specialized manufacturing division of Auto Rust Technicians that is dedicated to the rust repair needs of the Mopar crowd. Safe-T-Cap repair kits are made to work with the remaining solid metal in the frame to give the car a new lease on life. Some of the kits slip over the existing frame, and some are replacement sections that can be welded in place. All repairs, when properly installed, make the car as strong as, or stronger, than new. All kits come with complete instructions and are intended to be used by people with average auto-body welding skills. If you are not a welder, you may find that your local body shop will be able to install the kit for you. Or, if you are so inclined, you can travel to Rhode Island and Auto Rust Technicians can install them for you.
When we realized the rear framerails of a buddy's Challenger was in dire need of repair, we decided to see just how easy a repair with a Safe-T-Cap would be. So we ordered right and left rear framerail repair pieces and got to work. As we dug a little deeper, we found that the rear shock crossmember was held in place by two bolts going into the trunk floor-we definitely needed to replace the crossmember as well.
All in all, the repair of the entire rear frame section was really simple, and we did it with one weekend's time, basic hand tools, and a MIG welder. It really was like the guys at Auto Rust told us: "If you have general bodywork skills, you can do it." They weren't kidding; it really is something that can be done at home.
Not only does Safe-T-Cap sell the rear repair kits, but you can contact them for just about any portion of a frame repair that your A-, B-, or E-Body needs.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Once we realized the rear shock crossmember was held in place by bolts through the trunk floor, the extent of the rust was evident. This was definitely not the right way to fix a rusty crossmember and framerail. In hindsight, if the air shocks were pumped up, they would hold the crossmember up against the floor. Look, a good use for air shocks!Here you can see the actual area where the rust has completely destroyed the framerail. The piece missing was stuck to the crossmember when it fell out.This is another way NOT to repair rust. This quarter-inch plate of steel did nothing except cover it up.Before any repairs can be made, the area needing the repair and the surrounding area must be clean. In our case, we cleaned both entire framerails with a scraper, wire wheel, and lacquer thinner to remove the undercoating. This will take a lot of elbow grease if your car is undercoated. In our case, the car had factory undercoating, a layer of rust, and some heavily applied aftermarket undercoating apparently to try and help hold the frame together.Before you do any cutting of the Safe-T-Cap, make sure it fits! Remember, these caps will need to have certain areas trimmed due to different tolerances of the car's original frame.Before we put the cap in place, we made sure to treat the original framerails with a rust neutralizer.After we trial fitted our Safe-T-Cap, we marked out the areas that we needed to trim. We ordered full-length rails for each side because the frame was in that bad of shape. Fortunately, the front area around the E-brake cable mounting location was good, so we simply trimmed the rail to fit behind that point.Before you begin welding, you MUST make sure the Safe-T-cap is completely in place. It must fit snugly over the framerail. We used C-clamps at various locations to ensure it stayed in place while we welded.
After you have tack/stitch welded the repair piece in place, finish welding the rest of the repair's edge. Do not continuously weld along the edge, as heat will either burn through or cause other distortion problems.Remember the shock crossmember falling out? after that, we placed a second order for a replacement crossmember from Auto Rust Technicians. So what if the new piece is not stamped steel like the factory piece. It is a welded piece made of heavier metal, and that works for us.Por-15 is a rust-preventative coating designed to be applied directly over rusted surfaces. POR-15 works because it chemically bonds to rusted metal and forms a hard, nonporous coating that won't peel.

When Britain conquered Quebec at the end of the Seven Years War, Quebec began a transition between French law and English law. How did that transition occur?
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 established the British colonies of Quebec, East Florida, West Florida, and Grenada. Among other things, it introduced English law with the words:
The case Campbell v Hall decided in 1774 (actually about Grenada) suggested that the position was in fact unclear, so the Quebec Act of 1774 was enacted, which tolerated Catholicism and restored French civil law to Quebec, but not criminal law. The American Patriots regarded this as one of the Intolerable Acts, leading the the revolution two years later.
British colonial rule after the end of the Seven Year's War ended in 1763 gave the Canadians, including those in Quebec, little choice. Since the British ruled, their laws became the law of the land. It really wasn't so much of a transition as it was an imposition, in that the British imposed it upon the Canadians.
In 1774, however, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act in an attempt to ensure Canadian loyalty in the even that Britain went to war with the American colonies. This act restored French civil law, but retained English criminal law. In addition, the Catholic church was once again recognized and permitted to operate openly, and the French language was given official approval.
From 1840, Montreal politics were controlled primarily by English Protestants who tended to favor the British Laws. From 1873 to 1914 there was a transition of power that saw more French Canadians taking part in local government. After 1914, there was basically little or no English influence on politics.
Throughout all this time, even though the British ahd greater political influence, the legal structure remained basically the same. The civil law was based on the French Laws, while the criminal law was based on Enbglish Laws.

I've been wracking my brain with this all afternoon. I successfully replaced #site-title with an image using CSS, and it looks fine when browsing on a desktop, but i'd like to have the entire site be responsive (i'm using twenty twelve after all!).
The thing is, in order to replace #site-title in CSS, you have to apply fixed dimensions. Using "100%", "auto", etc just wipes the image from the page entirely. I've also attempted to add "width: 100%;" to #page, it's parent, to no avail.
Any ideas?.

Unanswered: PagingToolbar in store of 'memory' proxy type
Implemented pagingtoolbar in ExtJS grid.Panel, with proxy of store, being 'ajax'. Pagination was working fine.
However, I needed to associate the same grid data, to a temporary store, of 'memory' proxy type. But, pagingtoolbar stopped working, and was showing 'No data to display' even when there was data in grid.
What I understood is, since the store type was memory, and it is volatile, pagination seems to break.
Are there any options to put some config, like , 'buffered' , so that pagination works for stores of memory proxy type.
Please help.Thanks,

Two Star Chefs for the price of one
In January and February 2012, twins Thomas and Mathias Sühring will be responsible for the Star Chef menus in our premium classes on long-haul flights from Germany.
The brothers, who were born in Berlin in 1977, are chefs at 'Mezzaluna', one of Bangkok's top restaurants . Through the new concept of twin chefs, the restaurant surprises its guests with a sophisticated blend of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine and is a revelation even for jaded palates.
Thomas Sühring served his chef's apprenticeship at the Hilton Hotel in Berlin and subsequent jobs included working for Executive Chef Heinz Beck at La Pergola Restaurant in Rome. His brother Mathias trained at Berlin's Maritim proArte Hotel and later worked for Dutch chef Jonnie Boer at his restaurant in Zwolle — to mention just a few of the places where the brothers learned their craft. The twins perfected their culinary skills together working for Sven Elverfeld at the Ritz-Carlton in Wolfsburg.
The almost identical Star Chefs have won several awards and their admirers are not solely confined to the gourmet scene in Bangkok. At the start of the new year our passengers can discover the twins' culinary expertise for themselves.

You can obviously avoid department store bikes by buying from reputable local bike shops, but how can you tell whether a used bike is a department store bike? Are there any telltale signs? I have a friend who is looking to buy a used bike, and I would like to tell him what to look out for.

As per @Mikes Answer, but a bit more than fits into a comment.
Only buy a bike with the brand/model of major components able to be researched.
On a Mountain bike, shocks are a dead giveaway, and if rear suspension, look at the shock, although they sometimes don't have a model, the good ones always have a brand. From there, pictures will get you close enough. Also look at the geometry - if it looks like a light weight motorbike it's rubbish (Unless it's a top end down hill rig).... keep in mind age makes a big difference here, so search teh internet for parts of similar ages.
Brakes - Disk brakes should have a brand/model than can be researched. Rim brakes usually have something, but it's always a bad sign if not.
Seat / Seat post - worth a look, not a bad sign if no brand.
Drive train components can be tricky, many shops put an expensive rear derailleur on an otherwise cheap bike (That is all many people look at). Look at the cranks, the front derailleur, the shifters etc. These will usually have model information somewhere. Wheels and hubs - again look at the brand/model - most came out with labels.
One useful guide is overall weight - lighter bikes cost a lot more. BUT make sure you compare like for like. No point comparing a carbon frame to a steel frame and assuming the carbon is better because it's lighter.
For a novice stick to a brand/model that you can get the details off the internet. Look for a bike that has signs of light or no use. Everything should work smoothly and reliably. No groans, squeaks, clattering of any sort. The problem is any of these can be a sign of big money or a 2 minute tweak to fix and it takes expert eye to tell the difference.
Some department store bikes are actually pretty decent. A few years ago some of the bigger named bike companies started selling bikes through WalMart and other stores. Which tubes are 4130 and which are just high-ten is near impossible to tell unless someone told you so look for other signs of higher quality. I will look at the welds, if you have centipedes you have a better bike than one with toothpaste welds:
After you decide the frame is good enough, look at the components: do the derailleurs look flimsy? Check if the brake levers and shifters look solid. Do the cranks and chain look strong? Is part of the bike painted day-glo pink? It would be nice if they had all the original stickers, but if not, you need to use your judgement.
Start with the frame and then the parts; you rarely see good parts on crappy frames, unless someone is trying to trick you, and then, you can take the parts and put them on a good frame.
The first thing I look at is the components. Even the cheapest bikes have Shimano components, however they are below the lowest tier. It will say Shimano but will have no tier designation such as Deore,Ultegra,Alivio,etc. Go to the Shimano website and check out the component levels so you"ll be familiar with the names. One give away of a cheap bike is a "Shimano Equiped" or "24 speed" sticker on the frame. As @WTHarper has said manufacturers that sell bikes to Large box stores often do not list those models on their websites. Talk to your local bike shop and ask about trade-ins. Generally bike shops will only take a good quality bike in trade. Ask them to show you the charateristics of a good bike. It should have quick release wheels, a threadless headset, double wall rims to name a few.
The majority of department store ("mtb") bikes uses 1" quill stems, have bolt on wheels instead of quick releases, has a free-wheel instead of a cassette, typically has a one piece crank w/plastic pedals, a chain guard on the front sprocket, seat post diameter has a continuity of being 27.2, usually never has a spot to put a normal bottle cage on the frame due to the extravagant shape with equally extravagant graphics/decals, and lastly on the "dual" suspensions they are all equipped with a summer shock.
With old road bikes (e.g. pre-brifter) it's often as simple as looking at the shifters. If they're on the stem, it's a department store bike. If the shifters are on the downtube, it was probably from a bike shop. The only exception is that some touring bikes supposedly came with stem shifters.
Another great indicator with older bikes, if it's a butted frame, is to look at the lugs. The more ornate a lug is, generally speaking the higher quality the frame will be.
91 mm front dropout dimension indicates cheap front hub.

Home to School Transport Policy
This page is known as: www.birmingham.gov.uk/transport-policy
On Monday 07 January 2013 Birmingham City Council approved a new Home to School Transport Policy and a new Post 16 Transport Policy. Copies of these new policies are supplied below. Birmingham City Council opened a consultation on making changes to the home to school transport policy in November 2011; this consultation ended in July 2012. The feedback and issues raised were carefully considered and informed the new policies.
The policies were adopted from 07 January 2013 for pupils starting school or post 16 provision on or after Sunday 01 September 2013. The new policies will be applied from 01 September 2013 for any pupils or young people who are new starters. The new Post 16 Transport Policy will apply to all young people moving into Year 12 in September 2013.
Full copies of the new policies are attached below and together with notes for guidance for parents and carers.
The key changes to the policies are as follows:
- The introduction of Personal Transport Budgets for parents and carers and access to independent travel training for identified children and young people.
- The adoption of the statutory qualifying distances – up to 8 years old 2 miles, over 8 years old 3 miles.
- The removal of transport support based on parental choice of denominational school.
- Increased coordination via SENAR of the assessment and review of SEN pupils receiving specialist transport support – to identify changes in circumstances.
- Transport assistance for SEN pupils will only be considered to the nearest appropriate school as identified by the local authority; parental choice of a more distant school will not be supported.
- Post 16 Transport Policy - Where the travel support provided consists of a taxi or specialist vehicle, the young person and / or his or her parents or carers will be required to contribute towards the cost of this. The amount that will be required is £600 per annum or £300 if the young person is from a low income family.
Important Notice of Change –September 2013
Birmingham City Council opened a further consultation on making changes to the home to school transport policy for existing users on 15 May 2013 which closed on 03 July 2013. The feedback and issues raised were carefully considered and have informed any further changes to the new polices.
On Tuesday 29 July 2013 Birmingham City Council approved:
- The withdrawal of transport support from current users where this is provided on the basis of parental choice of denominational school from 01 September 2013.
- The implementation of the Home to School Transport Policy and the Post 16 Transport Policy for those young people who attend a denominational school based on parental choice.
This means that from the beginning of the Autumn Term 2013 (September 2013) those pupils who have previously received a free bus pass from Birmingham City Council to attend a Denominational (faith) school will no longer receive this (unless the family meet the low income criteria) and parents / carers will need to make their own arrangements.
The City Council approved the continuation of the public consultation on the proposal to apply the policies to current users of the Home to School Transport Service including those with special educational needs (SEN). This means that whilst this consultation continues applications from current users will continue to be assessed under the existing transport policy.
Policy: Home to School Transport: effective 01 September 2013 (Size: 45.7 Kb Type: PDF )
This policy document applies to all pupils who started at a school on and after 01 September 2013. It includes the details for changes to the walking distances, the removal of support for travel to denominational (faith) schools, the introduction of personal transport budgets and what transport assistance can be considered for pupils with special educational needs.

I have a reactor for which I'd like to double the throughput by using both Waldos to perform the same routine. While they can't be exact duplicates, I'd like to start the blue Waldo routine off by duplicating the red one. What's the easiest way to apply the blue Waldo's routine with the entirety of the red's?
Simple. First, make sure there is nothing on the blue waldo, this would only get in the way. Then:
Make sure not to deselect the parts between step 2 and 3, as the correct stuff is already selected. Also, if the red path covers the entire screen, this will be a lot harder. Do it in steps and add parts manual where needed. Using shortcuts to place commands is quick too.
Edit: If red covers 100% screen, there is still a way to copy half of it into blue like this:
I have not found any way to do this automatically -- I have always just manually reproduced the red waldo's routine. It does go pretty fast with the red for reference, fortunately.
Use the keyboard controls for quick and easy placement of commands and arrows. When duplicating Waldo paths, trace over and place the general commands (In β, Drop/Grab, etc.), then perform appropriate revisions (In α, Grab, etc.) on another pass.

Another dream season?
WOLCOTT — Thinking back to his early days playing flag football as a 6-year-old tailback in Bristol, Joe Lynch never tired of practicing in the backyard with his dad, Mark.
"I wouldn't let my dad go inside the house until I had a perfect handoff or pitch," said Lynch. "I would throw a little tantrum or pretend I was hurt and wouldn't finish for the night until I thought it was perfect."
A decade later, Lynch is still seeking perfection as a member of the Wolcott High football team. A year ago as a junior, he rushed for 957 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Eagles, who finished 9-2 overall after qualifying for the Class M playoffs and losing in the first round.
In 2011, Lynch was a starting outside linebacker for Holy Cross as a sophomore, helping the Crusaders to the Class S state title with a 34-27 win over Cromwell.
When Lynch transferred to Wolcott before the start of the 2012-13 school year, he initially thought he would have to sit out four games under the CIAC transfer rules. But Lynch won an appeal on hardship grounds and only missed the season opener against Kennedy.
"I was at practice while the CIAC hearing (Sept. 20) was going on," recalled Lynch. "Mr. (Bryan) Darcy, our athletic director, walked across the field and I sprinted over to him to ask, 'How did it go?' He tried to fool me with a sad face, but all of a sudden he smiled and said that I could play. I jumped on him and gave him the biggest bear hug and said, 'Thank you very
See LYNCH, Page 11B
The next day, Lynch played against Torrington and made an immediate impact. He rushed for four touchdowns to rally the Eagles to a 39-34 win, even though the game didn't start too well for him.
"Torrington scored on their first drive. On the ensuing kickoff, I fumbled and lost the ball the first time I touched it," said Lynch. "I remember coming off the field and my teammates telling me that things like that happen and to not get discouraged. I knew that I couldn't let it affect me the whole game. Ever since flag football, that's the mindset I had: to not let little stuff affect me negatively."
Lynch shook off the blunder and led the Eagles to the come-from-behind win.
"Joe fit right in with us," noted Wolcott center Zac Burksa, a three-year starter. "He's a hard and smart runner. After each touchdown he scored in that first game, it motivated me to work even harder."
Watching from the sidelines, then backup quarterback Vince Gambino thought of the days when Lynch paired with Tony Ortiz Jr., now a star running back for the Gilbert-Northwestern co-op team, in the backfield for the Wolcott Junior Midgets. That Pop Warner team won the 2008 state and New England titles as seventh-graders.
"I knew what Joe had in him when I used to watch him play for the Wolcott Junior Midgets," said Gambino, the Eagles' starting QB this year. "Joe was so powerful even back then."
Lynch said he has spent a lot of time in the off-season working on his pass- and run-blocking technique as well as his agility and speed.
"Obviously, and people who know me would agree, you can always do better," said Lynch, a senior co-captain with Dan Catania this season. "I'm never satisfied with my performance. That was the way my dad taught me to play. I never considered myself a star. That was the way I was raised. I know without my line and wide receivers making blocks and our quarterback, Mike Nicol, last year making the right reads, none of what I did statisically could be possible."
While at Holy Cross, Lynch had a limited role on offense with tailback Dave DiGiorgi (now at Curry College) and quarterback Zach Brown (playing baseball at Iona College) leading the way. Lynch was a starting outside linebacker and never missed a defensive snap, including a 96-yard interception return for a touchdown against Woodland.
Now, Lynch is hoping to create a few more highlights.
"Last year at this time, I was still ineligible to play. At times, I wake up and still think I'm living that bad dream," said Lynch. "But now there are no doubts about me suiting up for week one (Sept. 13 vs. Sacred Heart). I'm so appreciative to be here and looking forward to every single snap."

I am just about to go an charge up my Cash Passport card before I go away for a week to Val Thorens.
Basing on my knowledge from backpacking last year I was able to spend about 30-50 euros a day including my hostel accommodation in France.
However this trip I am going I have already paid for my accomodation, ski pass, equipment etc.
So I do not need to factor this in but since Val Thorens is quite a popular place with restuarants and bars being quite expensive what would you say a daily rate to have meals etc would be.
Is there any other locations that are suitable comparisons that you could give me an estimate for a week.
Other factors: I do not drink or smoke.

I've hiked mountains in California, Hawaii, and the Colorado Rockies, so it wasn't that Mandera Mountains, leading to the 500-year-old Sukor Kingdom was extremely difficult. It was just incredibly hot, because this part of Africa is sweltering this time of year. And there were rocks everywhere. Yes, there was a path to the top, but it was not like anyone bothered to ever smooth out that path for hikers. Several times I thought I was going to roll or twist one of my ankles. Several times it felt like I was going to fall flat on my face while going up.
Our group was made up of about 10 people, but as we climbed and climbed there was a quick and quiet separation into three or four different parts. I was in the first part. I love hiking, love exercising, love nature, and the view going up was, well, an African heaven, an African paradise. Imagine green landscapes all about you, this hissing of snakes as you passed certain bushes and trees and, surprise, a herd of cows or goats just grazing at certain points along the trail.
My heart pounded as we neared the top of the mountain, so I literally ran up the rest of the way to the village. As others in the group got there, children came about us, staring, pointing, smiling, wondering who were these strangers in their community. Our group included Nigerians who could translate for us, and the prince I met earlier at the bottom of the mountain also accompanied us and served as translator to the children. Turns out his name is Prince Solomon.
Women of the village also stepped up to have a look at us, to wave. I've noticed that wherever I've gone in Nigeria the people always wave, also nod their heads in acknowledgement. So I found myself doing the same to them, and I would like it to be something I do back home in America. I already speak to many people wherever I go in the States, whether I know them or not. But I feel it says something about one's humanity if you always recognize the existence of another human being with a greeting, even if it is just in passing.
As we were taking pictures with the children, two men crossed briskly before us and went to the other side of the village and sat down, one in front of a gigantic and very old baobab tree. We were told this particular man was the king of the village. He sat atop a plastic white chair and similar seating was set up for us in front of him. We were summoned to greet the king and to be granted his permission to tour the village.
I wondered where the money goes that visitors pay to tour the Sukur Kingdom if not to help these people. I wondered if we had just been hustled by the king and his men just as they are being hustled by UNESCO.

When we were asked what we'd like to say to King Hidi, I went first and thanked him for the incredible opportunity, told him how amazing it was to have read about African kings in books and to meet one in person, that with his blessing we'd like to tour the village and meet the people. I added that I was from New York City, from America, and that this was my very first trip to Africa. King Hidi, who appeared to be in my generation, had come to power after his father died in the past year or so. We talked, the entire group, back and forth, via a translator for about 30 minutes, including the King saying he was very happy that Barack Obama had been re elected president.
And then one of the king's men asked us for money. Turns out there is admission fee to Sukur Kingdom and because there was no one at that house where I stumbled upon the prince, we just came up not knowing. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, actually helps manage the kingdom and apparently takes a cut of any monies given to the Sukur Kingdom. Not cool, I thought to myself, and so much for King Hidi's power. But he clearly had some, just in a very old school way: When I asked one of his aides how the king got up and down the mountain he smiled and said the king had three wives and they carry him.
Um, okay. To my pro-feminist American male ears that was blasphemy. I could not imagine anyone of any gender, but especially not women, carrying me anywhere. But I was not in America, I was in an ancient kingdom in Nigeria.
Sukur Kingdom, we were told, has a population of 3225 people, and for whatever reason it seemed like most of them were children. We saw everything from the area where the king addresses the community, to the hut for initiation rituals (yes, we are talking sacrifices of animals, etc.), to the enclave for

A new court document alleges officials with the National Park Service destroyed evidence in a federal lawsuit over the death of a Red Bluff boy at Lassen Volcanic National Park.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Greg Holmes filed a document of findings and recommendations. In the filing Wednesday, Judge Holmes said the National Park Service staff destroyed evidence. Holmes recommends the park service be found negligent in the 2009 death of Tommy Botell.
Botell, 9 of Red Bluff, was killed when a retaining wall collapsed on Lassen Peak Trail in 2009. Botell was hiking the trail with his parents and two sisters when they stopped to rest. Botell and his older sister sat on a retaining wall which collapsed. A large chunk of concrete broke away and rolled over Tommy. He died at the scene, his older sister was seriously injured.
According to the court document, Judge Holmes concluded the National Park Service purposely destroyed the remaining part of the retaining wall.
The judge said after the accident, the wall was torn down "for no apparent purpose other than to render the scene degraded in terms of any complete investigation."
The ruling is part of a $9 million dollar lawsuit Botell's family filed against the park service.
Holmes went on to say the park didn't close the trail for investigative purposes, and no investigation of the accident site was made until it was appreciably changed.
He added Lassen Park Superintendent Darlene Koontz completely lacked evidence of communication or documentation concerning her decision to destroy the wall. The judge also said no preservation instructions were given to park employees so many e-mails related to the case were destroyed.
All of this he called "willful" and "material," adding there is not enough evidence to conclude whether the park service might have destroyed other evidence related to its defense, though he called it "highly suspicious."
"Based on the evidence presented, the court can only conclude that defendant's conduct in spoliating evidence pertaining to the retaining walls was willful and material. As a sanction for this conduct, the court recommends that defendant be found negligent for all purposes in this case, in causing the death of Tommy Botell."
The government is claiming immunity under a 1948 law that bars lawsuits against federal workers acting within their lawful discretion.
Federal officials can object to the findings within 14 days.
Trial is set for September in federal court in Sacramento.

There is no limit. If you have more than one out, each one will trigger independently and give you a life.
The only three limits are:
The correct answer, as any deckbuilding Johnny will tell you, is always "as many as possible". In Magic it's quite easy to come up with a deck that will put infinite artifacts into play:

10th Mid-Western Nationals - Kansas City GoodguysWritten by on March 7, 2012
It was early September and it marked the time to head out to the 10th annual Mid-Western Nationals hosted by Goodguys. This was my second year attending the event in Kansas, and every year brings new trucks that grace the pages of CLASSIC TRUCKS. Previous years were plagued with heat waves but the last two events I attended were in the high 70s spiking to around 85 degrees in the afternoon. Locals that found out I was from California said it that I bring the San Diego weather with me on the plane, but if that were the case, why does it always rain when I get home?
It was a shorts and T-shirt kind of weekend, which drove the crowds out in the masses. This event seams to bring out some the best of the trucks from all across the mid west. Did you notice the cover?
Plain a simple, one of my favorite shows of the year not only because of the great location of Kansas City Speed Way, but the quality of dining restaurants just outside the venue is exceptional. Plus one of the biggest retail sporting goods stores I have ever been to is right down the street. What is better than sporting goods, cool trucks, polite people and great food? Not much.
Friday started off a little slow for vehicle count but by the end of the day vehicle count was above average. I travel to several Goodguy events and Saturday is always the biggest day of the show, Kansas City was no different. Just like last year, show attendants got a ticket at the gate to participate in the track cruise for FREE. Loud speakers let the spectators know what time to get ready to drive around the world famous Kansas City Speedway. It was really cool to see because the tracks inner field was lined up with vehicles and their drivers from one end to the other. Like a bunch of young kids waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, the waiting front cars would move forward a few feet only to be followed by the roar of everyone starting their motors itching to go. You could say the excitement to drive on the banked corners is a thrill in itself.
One of the highlights for me is always watching the autocross and the vast array of vehicles that 10 years ago were not capable of carving corners that fast. Thanks to tons of vendors for pushing the limits, this so called fad looks like it's here to stay. Not only is it cool to see hotrods ripping in between cones but if you want to participate and drive the autocross track you could, well as long as you passed through tech. Nice weather brought spectators surrounding the track just to see the commotion and to also see what their vehicle could do with the right combo of parts. Then, of course, it is always great to walk far away from the action to meet the garage builders and lawn chair potato's that always welcome a few questions from stringers about what parts they used or what color their truck is. Good people and Great times as always. CT

Rusty on the outside, clean on the inside. That seamed to be a trend for some trucks around the Mid-West. The cool thing about the truck is that the owner took the spare tire indention out of the driver's side fender with good old rose but torch and a hammer and dolly.You can't go wrong with a simple paint combo. Gary Ivy from Rogersville, MO, and his sweet '64 Chevy C10 short bed.Is it a carryall or a suburban? I say who cares, it's cool. Dick Dreiling showed his chopped '56 people hauler all the way from Basehor, KS.Not our normal readership but you had to give it a second look because of the pure craftsmanship that went into the building Stefanie and Robby Collvins '41 Chevy pickup.It may look like nothing special from the outside but I can tell you that Tyler Gibson from St. Joseph, MO, put tons of man hours to make his highly modified '47 Chevy surpass most muscle cars on the autocross track.
One of my favorite truck beds is the '58-59 Apache Fleetside. I guess it should be because I own a pickup that looks similar to this. Chad Frick from Garden City, KS, had the original 235 strait-six powering his '58.John McDunn made the trek all the way from Osceola, IA. His '56 Ford F-100 was clean and simple powered by a 272 Ford Y-block and three on the tree.Running around the auto cross making it happen. It's crazy how popular this small course is getting. Give it a try.This truck was featured in one of our past issues (March 2011) but in flat black. I teased Shawn Shippers and his wife because I wanted to do the feature all over again. Did I mention this guy does all his own work? Great job Shawn.In the swapmeet area was this early '50 Chevy cab with custom IFS and four-link rear suspension. Hopefully, someone picked it up and is building it back up.
This Unibody was for sale and I wish I could have taken it home to California. Jesse Mullins from Leavenworth, KS, had a set of Mustang wheels on the truck which made me think what motor was in it.Stuffing an LS2 in a '54 Chevy truck is no easy task but Lynn Kinderknecht made it happen. The truck also featured a Currie 9 rearend supported by a modified S10 Chassis.Chris Hay's super-cool Cadillac-like '56 GMC. This was another vehicle I wish I could have taken home.Gene and Esther Wright from Belton, MO, cruised in style and almost didn't get picked for our CLASSIC TRUCKS finish Five because they showed up mid Sunday morning. The '53 Ford was kept cool inside using a Vintage Air Cooling system and shaved doors.Jim & Jan Dittmeier from St. Louis, Mo, let Dave's Hotrod shop take the truck to the Kansas Goodguys to show of the shops work and their new ride. This '59 Chevy step side had a modified/painted engine cover over the GMPP Ram jet 502 big-block.

Right after the Spanish-American War in 1898, the US acquired the Philippines from Spain. At that time, local leaders desired Philippines independence. The Philippines-American War was fought around 1901-1902 in which the US put down this quest for freedom and the Philippines was still US property at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. However, if the US had granted the Philippines independence back in 1901, would Japan still have felt the need to go to war?
As mentioned in this Wikipedia article, Japan's reasons for attacking the US were mostly because of the US stopping oil and other material shipments to Japan and Japanese belief that further Japanese aggression in Asia (which they were intent on pursuing and not just or even primarily in Philippines) would lead to a war with the US anyway. Thus Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to gain the advantage of surprise.
So no, Philippine independence had nothing to do with Japan attacking Pearl Harbor and Japan would probably have gone to war anyway.
Japan did not attack the US because of the oil embargo. They went to war, in part, because of the oil embargo. But their most important territorial objective was the Dutch East Indies, with their oilfields.
The Japanese chose to attack the US, rather than just the European colonial powers, because the Philippines would have been a bone in their throat in the event that America intervened in a Japanese-Allied confrontation:
The Japanese reasoning (if you can call it that) for attacking the US still would still have held, if the independent Philippine government had not been reliably pro-Axis. A neutral Philipines probably would have gone the way of neutral Norway.
In 1942, the United States offered to accelerate the independence of the Philippines (scheduled for 1946) if Japan would stay out of this country, thereby "neutralizing" it. Japan did not accept.
There were two reasons why. First, the Philippines were a key "stop" on the way "south" (to the East Indies (modern Indonesia), and ultimately, Australia.
The second was that Japan was opposed to the presence of a U.S. fleet ANYWHERE in the Pacific. Neutralizing the Philippines wouldn't have resolved this issue. It would just have given Japan one less base from which to operate.
Hypotheticals belong to what is known as speculative history or allohistory, sometimes as alternate history.
To substantiate a hypothetical you need a theory of causation.
"However, if the US had granted the Philippines independence back in 1901, would Japan still have felt the need to go to war?"
This question asserts that the Empire of Japan went to war with the United States because of US control over the Philippines. Such a causal theory in actuality is demonstrably false. The immediate cause of the war was the presence of a culminating battle grand strategy in the Imperial Japanese Navy combined with the United States immediately hostile behaviour towards Japanese Imperialism in China and the colonies of France, The United Kingdom and Holland.
The intermediate cause of the war between Japan and the United States was competing imperial and neo-imperial interests, mainly voiced over the division of China's economy. Particularly due to the Showa racialist ideology in Japan and the export of Christian liberal-democratic ideology in the United States. (A world-systems / Marxist Imperialist analysis of cause, fairly solid at this level of analysis).
The final cause of the war was the Imperialist stage of capitalism, the development of neo-colonial economics in the United States involving loosely held colonies under nominal self-governance (or development to the same), and the racialist ideology of post-Restoration Japan and the increasing power of the networks of Trusts in the United States and their international imperial ambitions rooted in the Gilded Age.
So no, changing the formal nature of US control over the Philippines in 1901 would not change the conflict of interests between the emerging Showa racialist ideology and US liberalist neo-colonialism. However, it may "butterfly" the specifics of war between Japan and the United States, particularly if Japanese and US imperialist interests can be united against some other force in the area, particularly if the Trusts of the United States gain an interest in seeing Japanese control over China.

The health of a president can change the attitude of a nation -- or the course, if he dies. Take a look at how healthy some of our past leaders were.
John F. Kennedy (1961-1964) and his family projected a hale-and-hearty image, but the president had severe back problems and Addison's disease -- an adrenal failure -- which required frequent pills and injections. He was said to have received last rites four times as an adult.

On the eve of his high school graduation, Leavenworth senior Nathan Butler added one more accolade to his already massive trophy case.
Earlier this week, the Pioneer wrestling legend was named to the 2013 Wrestling USA Scholastic All-American Academic Team.
Butler was the 285-pound selection, meaning he finished the school year with the highest grades in his weight class nationwide.
On the mat this past season, Butler collected his third state championship and concluded his high school career with a mark of 157-18.
He holds numerous school records including most career and single season wins.
The Leavenworth graduate is signed to wrestle at Stanford University next year.

Not to be outdone by Bank of America's rank avarice, Citibank announced today that it's raising monthly fees for checking accounts—doubling them, in fact, for its mid-level option—and bumping up the minimum balances. They're basically looking at their customers, identifying the ones who have the least amount of money, and charging them more.
It's cool though, because when Citibank was in trouble, you and all your taxpayer friends pitched in and loaned them $45 billion. So I'm sure if you're in a tight spot and ask them to just waive the fee this month, they'll be understanding and oblige. They've been there.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, in an interview published today in Kuwait's daily newspaper 'Alseyassah', affirmed that security in Saudi Arabia is very strong, and that the hold of terrorism is over. All that is being done now, he said, is "mopping up", and declared: "We have gone directly to the head of the snake to cut it off and we know that the tail consists of misled people …… with whom we know how to deal and bring back to their senses." He commented that the majlis [public receptions] held by the Kingdom's senior officials are open to all citizens, who present their opinions spontaneously, and which are transparent to the entire world, reflecting the extent to which the citizenry and its leadership are in full solidarity, especially today when abnormal events have been afflicting the country.
Crown Prince Abdullah confirmed that although the acts of terrorism have had some negative impact, they have given impetus to the economy by uniting the people. The number of factories is increasing, and the petroleum, natural gas and petrochemical sectors are expanding. Although certain writers, he said, have evoked a wave of pessimism over the past two years, on the pretext that the security authorities had lost control over the domestic front, the situation is now clear. Saudi Arabia, he said, is like many countries – the United States included – who have had to face internal violence and organized crime; but the Kingdom has successfully overcome the threat.
On the current soaring oil prices, he affirmed that it is not in Saudi Arabia's interest to cause harm to the global economy, and reiterated the Kingdom's view that the ideal price range is between $25 and $30 a barrel. The giant oil companies, he said, must take responsibility for the current price hikes, citing unnecessary hoarding and stock transaction practices. All Saudi Arabia can do, he declared, is to increase its daily production rate, otherwise "the matter is out of our control as an oil producer". Asked about the upcoming Saudi budget, he confirmed there would be a surplus, which will be directed first to repayment of domestic public debt, and then to further development. On Iraq, he expressed the hope that it would come out of its current regrettable turmoil as soon as possible, referring to the situation as "regrettable and painful", and reiterating the Kingdom's proposal for an Islamic contingent under the supervision of the United Nations to be sent to Iraq.

Spring Fever
The Newport chapter of National Charity League Juniors and Bloomingdale's Fashion Island brought together our two favorite things—style and philanthropy—for the second annual Spring Trend Event. It's a precursor to the charitable mother-daughter organization's annual luncheon, and it wowed with a runway show of the chicest looks of the season. Lawrence Zarian—yep, from Entertainment Tonight and Live With Kelly and Michael—emceed the affair, and the ladies went wild when he signed copies of his book, 10 Commandments for a Perfect Wardrobe. And Bloomingdale's donated 10 percent of the day's sales to the chapter, which supports High Hopes Head Injury Program, Harry & Grace Steele Children's Center and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.

Eight Great Opportunities for Advanced Investors
Taking a peek at peak oil.
One of the most controversial ideas within the world of energy is called peak oil, which in simple terms looks at the rate of change in demand and supply of crude oil. Essentially, the peak oil theory holds that at a certain point the output of the world's oil producers will hit its maximum, and from there the supply of oil will begin to decline, even as the demand rises.
If peak-oil advocates are right, the world has already reached a point where the growth in demand for black gold from emerging markets exceeds the combined increase in new supplies. In other words, the planet is starting to run out of oil reserves.
The optimism that falling supply accompanied by rising demand will cause the value of oil shares to skyrocket isn't going to make a huge difference in the short term, but it may underpin an increasing demand for large, strategically valuable oil reserves.

Being able to see the Moon is dependant on various factors like sunset timing etc. Considering all these factors, which country or area of the world sees the new moon first? I am asking about the new moon.
The duration of one lunation (the period between one new moon to the next one) isn't neither constant as the Moon rotates around the Earth and it around the Sun (changes between 29.272 and 29.833 days due to the perturbing effects of the Sun's gravity on the Moon's eccentric orbit), nor integer divisible by 24 hours or one Earth's rotation around its axis. So this position of the Moon on the skies where the next new moon as the first of its lunar phases will be first observable constantly changes.
Phases of the Moon, as seen looking southward from the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere will see each phase
Saying it differently, by the time the Moon completes one lunation (or it's synodic period) and starts the next one, it won't be positioned exactly above the same Earth's longitude (East to West) as the one it started at.

Discuss how we need to fight this social epidemic and disease. We need to convince everyone that being fat is deteriorating and they're throwing their lives away. They're delusional. Why can't they accept that everything wrong with their lives boils down to their fatness? I realized I would never be considered attractive unless I lost weight, and while I'm doing good progress I still don't consider myself worthy of being accepted by anyone based on looks.

I am shooting a window with heavy sun light on it. When I get far enough from the window, the yellow curtain does not become too dark and is somehow visible (the second image). But as I get closer to the window, the whole scene becomes dark. I tried reducing the aperture size so that I get less light but it had no effect. What should I do to make the following dark image brighter with curtain and wall completely visible?
Properties of the dark shot:
Camera: Canon EOS 650D
Aperture: f/22
Shutter: 1/40 sec
Focal Length: 35mm
Exposure Bias: 0 step
So I focused on the wall next to the window, locked the exposure (using the * button on my Canon 650D) and recomposed the scene to center the window and this was the result:
Camera: Canon EOS 650D
Aperture: f/4
Shutter: 1/40 sec
Focal Length: 35mm
Exposure Bias: 0 step
Although the curtain is still overexposed, the whole scene is not dark anymore! Maybe I will be able to achieve a better result using HDR as some of you have recommended!
