Dominic, Oh yes, I am familiar with Tithonia, Mexican sunflower. I had one for several years and it outgrew its space, so I replaced it with a rose. Hamelia patens is now to me ... I have never gardened in Florida. Thanks.
The first two butterflies are on our native fire bush Hamelia patens and the third plant is known by the common name of Mexican sunflower
I have several plants of both over eight feet tall.
Tony, your photos of a grape tree and an octopus dazzle my imagination!
Tony - yes, it is so the seeds are spread further (relative abundance) - the article although about another species, answers the question of the plants role of ecology in the forest.
Here is an article discussing the role of the species and their role in the forest.
Recent studies have demonstrated the increasingly important role of lianas (woody vines) in forest regeneration, species diversity and ecosystem-level processes, particularly in the tropics. Mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of liana species diversity could yield new insights into the maintenance of overall species diversity. Lianas contribute to forest regeneration and competition, not only by competing directly with trees, but also by differentially affecting tree species and thus changing how trees compete among themselves. In addition, they contribute considerably to ecosystem-level processes, such as whole-forest transpiration and carbon sequestration. As the rate of tropical forest disturbance increases, they are likely to increase in relative abundance throughout the tropics and the importance of lianas to many aspects of forest dynamics will grow.
The ecology of lianas and their role in forests
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, 1 May 2002, Pages 223-230
I'm thinking easier for all animals to get to, so seeds from the fruit are spread further? The article didn't say.

In the Region/Long Island; Two New Facilities for People With Alzheimer's
By CAROLE PAQUETTE
Published: December 9, 2001
AN increase in the number of people afflicted with Alzheimer's disease has developers who specialize in housing for older people working to provide special facilities for those suffering from the disorder.
This month, the first residential care facility on Long Island to be dedicated solely to those with Alzheimer's will open in Oyster Bay. Harbor House Special Care Assisted Living, a $21 million, 70-unit, 30,000-square-foot building on two-and-a-half acres, will provide all levels of care, including the skilled nursing required for the final stages of the disease, in an upscale setting.
In February, another residence dedicated to those with Alzheimer's will open in a free-standing two-story building for 72 residents at Huntington Terrace, a new rental retirement complex on 12 acres in Melville.
In addition, there are special secured areas, entire floors or wings for residents with diseases related to memory loss, predominantly Alzheimer's, at 17 Long Island assisted-living facilities, which offer hotel-like housing for older people who need some assistance with personal and health care.
At least four new assisted-living facilities with areas for memory-impaired residents will open next year, and more are in the planning stages. Most do not provide skilled nursing care, however, and once a resident enters the last and most degenerative stage of Alzheimer's, he either returns home or enters a nursing home.
Experts in the field say that while they are happy about the increase in housing for those with Alzheimer's, it is still not enough.
''It is admirable that these facilities are addressing the population; however, a lot are expensive,'' said Cindy Powers, a director of the Ronkonkoma-based Long Island chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, a national nonprofit research and education organization.
''Seventy percent of the Alzheimer's population is still being cared for in the home, because of the financial and guilt factors,'' she said. What is being constructed is ''not a big market share,'' she said. ''Over all, however, we are seeing good care and good programs, and they have the intrinsic needs of the people in mind.'
Currently, there are 50,000 people on Long Island in some stage of Alzheimer's. The association predicts that one out of ten people over the age of 65, and one out of two over 85 will get Alzheimer's.
''Those are staggering statistics, and people are living longer,'' she said. ''Better diagnosis, new medications and the rising population of baby boomers, who will soon be over 65, are the main reason for the increase.''
In creating special areas for those with Alzheimer's, architects and designers are taking into consideration the gradual loss of memory and the ability to communicate as well as the confusion and impaired judgment that come with the degenerative brain disease. The concept is to set up a home-style community with a calming and familiar atmosphere, Ms. Powers said.
David Wagner, co-owner with Rachel Dombrowsky of the four-story Harbor House and the adjacent 67-unit facility, Oyster Bay Manor Assisted Living, said he recognized the need for a fully dedicated Alzheimer's care facility in the eight years since Oyster Bay Manor was built.
''I noticed that 10 to 15 percent of the traditional assisted-living population had some type of cognitive impairment,'' he said. ''The environment was not conducive to taking care of them properly.''
The layout of the L-shaped Harbor House floors will feature a leg with a ''loop, so the residents can wander in a circle and not come to a wall, which would be very frustrating,'' Mr. Wagner said. The individual apartments line the exterior walls, leaving the inside half as an open, common area built around an 1,800-square-foot outdoor patio on the first floor, and sun porches on the upper floors.
Within the open area a low wall with a built-in fish tank and bird cage divides the dining and living rooms. A country kitchen for the residents' use is the nucleus of each floor. Other common rooms include an arts and crafts den and a lounge, both with large interior windows facing the corridor. Rather than floor-to-ceiling walls, the corridor walls alongside the walking loop are only about 4 feet high.
IN the living units, the bathrooms, in most cases, are directly opposite the door instead of to the left or right. Recessed heating and air-conditioning units, usually placed under a window, are located in the corners of the rooms, so residents can pull their chairs up to the window.
Recessed lighting is designed to match natural sunlight, with no glare.
''The whole concept is different,'' said Vince A. Liaguno, Harbor House's supervising administrator. ''In a traditional assisted-living facility, the emphasis is on the residents' rooms. We want the opposite. The focus of the common area is to get the resident out of their room. They need to be stimulated.''
The first floor of Harbor House is decorated in earth tones with a ''village theme, to bring the outdoors in,'' Ms. Dombrowsky said. Those residents in the first stage of Alzheimer's, who have some limited access to the outdoors, will reside on this floor, which has 22 units.

Cowboys open hoop drills; Rottinghaus, Boswell sit out
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- The Wyoming Cowboys, sporting seven new players, opened practice Saturday and sixth-year coach Steve McClain liked what he saw.
"We've got a lot of new faces out here and they've got to get used to playing together and get used to each other," McClain said. "But I liked their enthusiasm, I liked their attitude. It made me feel good for the first day."
Several hundred fans scattered throughout Arena-Auditorium occasionally cheered and applauded good plays.
Two players sat out with injuries: 6-foot-5 senior guard-forward David Rottinghaus (stress fracture in leg) and 7-foot freshman center Jarrod Boswell (knee).
There was not much scrimmaging, mainly fast-break drills and lots of defensive work.
"We've got to be a better defensive team than we were last year," McClain said. "We're going to be able to score enough points to win games. We're going to have to be a very solid team-defensive group and I think with the athletes we have on the wing, the depth we have on the wing, we can do that."
McClain admitted it was a much different atmosphere without veteran stars Uche Nsonwu and Marc Bailey, seniors on last year's 21-11 team.
"For four years I've walked out here and seen Uche and Marc Bailey and so you kind of walk out today and you say, they really aren't here," the coach said.
Among the newcomers who impressed was 6-foot-4 junior guard Dion Sherrell, a Detroit, Mich., product who transferred from Schoolcraft Community College.
"I like Dion Sherrell," McClain said. "I think he has really worked hard and he's just gotten better every day. Then Mikel Watson -- the freshman -- for his first day out here in a first true college practice, he handles himself with great maturity."
Jay Straight, a 5-11 junior point guard who was honorable mention All-Mountain West last year, said he feels this is his team to lead.
"I think so," he said. "I'm a three-year starter. I played in an NCAA Tournament. I've got a little bit of veteran in me. I've got a little bit of leadership. Just watching Marcus and Uche do what they did ... It's easy for me to step up and become a leader now."
Straight said the many new faces slowed practice somewhat, but added, "Everybody's excited and the good part about it is we're all full of energy. ... We're all excited to go, especially after seeing the predictions (fifth in the MWC). Everybody kind of has a chip on their shoulders. We're excited about getting going."
Tim Henry, a 22-year-old, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard-forward from Orem, Utah, who transferred from Salt Lake Community College, said he was relieved the first practice was over.
"Just to get the jitters out," he said. "It was a lot different than I expected, a lot better than anything I ever experienced in a practice."
Rottinghaus, who suited up but just shot around, is expected to miss the exhibitions Nov. 1 and Nov. 8 against EA Sports but hopes to be ready for the season opener Nov. 22 against Southern Illinois.
"I've been on crutches seven weeks, got off yesterday," he said. "I feel good. I started rehabbing it more and more every day. It's a little sore, but I'll get through that."
He suffered the same type of injury -- a stress fracture of the tibia just below the knee -- to his right leg in the spring. The latest injury, to his left leg, occurred in September. He said it could be attributed to the way he lands after he jumps, but doctors aren't sure.
Boswell, from Lakeside, Calif., hurt his knee falling down some stairs a few weeks ago and will undergo surgery this week.
"He could be out two weeks or the season," McClain said.
Returning starters are Straight (10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 34.6 percent of 3-pointers); Rottinghaus (6 points, 2.6 rebounds); and Joe Ries, a 6-foot-8 senior forward (7 points, 4.2 rebounds).
Other returnees include 6-2 senior guard David Adams; 6-10 junior forward-center Alex Dunn; 6-9 senior forward Mory Correa; 6-8 senior forward-center Omoniyi Makun; and 6-11 senior center Ryan Wildenborg.
Newcomers include three freshmen: Boswell, from Lakeside, Calif.; Watson, a 6-2 guard from Oceanside, Calif.; and Josh Dees, a walk-on from Georgia and son of former Wyoming coach Benny Dees.
Four junior college transfers round out the rookies: Sherrell; Henry; Jerry Webb, a 6-5 junior guard from Sheridan College who was an academic casualty last season; and 6-5 guard Steve Leven of Airds, New South Wales, Australia.
Leven can practice but can't play for one season after transferring from Texas.

Strength is not just about muscle size. It depends on muscle density, the type of muscle fiber you have. The composition of each bundle of muscle and its ability to perform under physical stress. The Boulder workout definitely creates some physical stress to challenge the muscles so you get to feel like a rock.
Instructions: Repeat each move with no rest in between until the set is done, rest up to 2 minutes and repeat the whole set again 3, 5 or 7 times depending on your fitness level.
What it works: Triceps, chest, deltoids, abs, core, glutes, lower back, obliques, hamstrings, cardiovascular system.
Make it better: When performing raised-leg push ups keep your raised leg completely straight at the knee.
Make it harder: For shoulder taps and thigh taps keep the hand of your supporting arm in direct line with your shoulder to create more of a challenge for your obliques and core.
Body types this can work for: This is the perfect workout for any body type.
Perfect for: Anyone looking for a solid strength workout that will benefit core strength and muscle density.

Pregnant women with schizophrenia have a higher risk of complications, the need for ICU care and hospital readmission than those who do not have the mental disorder, according to research from Women's College Hospital in Toronto. The study in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology also found babies born to women with schizophrenia were more likely to have abnormally low or high birth weights.

It seems like a lot of slip sliding is happening here in the US. It will be up to the local people to report bridge collapses because I don't think we'll even hear about these unless it's in our own backyard.
Recall too that President Obama deliberately brought up the Minnesota bridge collapse, and the Zetas (and only the Zetas!) told us why.
Here's the newest infrastructure collapse with a life lost in the LIRR tunnel collapse that happened last night. Things are really picking up.
Friday, November 18 2011, 2:58 AM
Sandhogs work in the LIRR tunnels beneath Grand Central Terminal in January.
A young sandhog was killed Thursday night in the collapse of a railroad tunnel deep under Park Ave., despite his father's heroic efforts to save him, a source told The Daily News.
The unidentified victim was working on an LIRR tunnel when a portion caved around 7:30 p.m., according to the source, an LIRR employee who spoke on the condition he would not be named.
The young worker's father, who was working alongside him, frantically tried to revive his son with CPR as workers rushed him through a network of tunnels to a waiting ambulance at E. 48th St. and Park Ave., the source said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he died, according to the source.
The FDNY could not confirm the collapse and LIRR officials could not be reached immediately for comment.The East Side Access project will connect the LIRR's Main and Port Washington lines in Queens to a new LIRR terminal beneath Grand Central Terminal.
Sandhogs are excavating tunnels about 120 feet beneath Manhattan streets. Work is expected to be completed early next year.

1 in 9 highway bridges in the U.S. are classified as "structurally deficient," requiring significant maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement. http://t4america.org/
What made Obama chose the 2007 collapse of the Minneapolis bridge on I-35 as his example of infrastructure needing to be repaired? This was of course a dramatic incident, with the bridge flinging to one side and folding in waves against that side. Clearly there was tension, the Mississippi pulling apart at that point. This is also an incident that got a lot of attention on the Internet for a ZetaTalk prediction come true. We had predicted Mississippi bridges ripping during the New Madrid, and this was the first example of this prediction culminating. Curious minds, entering the date and place into search engines, would arrive at the ZetaTalk predictions. Is this Obama's way of leaking the truth? Yes, and just the start of such maneuvers.
Today I posted that a bridge on I-80 at the Tannersville exit in the Poconos collapsed. This is an area that has been pulling apart with many gas explosions just recently.
Back in Feb.2011, Parts of Ludford Bridge in Ludlow have fallen in to the River Teme. As we will be starting to see bridges collapse I thought it best to start a blog with this heading. I'm sure I will be adding to this as time evolves.
I've added the proper ZT message regarding the safety of our bridges. Not only in the US, but worldwide, with severe twisting , crunching, and shaking that the earth is now subjected to on a daily basis due to a daily worldwide wobble and caused by the ever approaching Planet X, we'll see more bridges crumble and fall.

A COUNTY MP has been in discussions with the army after an historic bridge collapsed into the river Teme at Eastham.
The bridge, near Tenbury, suddenly crumbled and fell into the river on Tuesday afternoon and drivers now face a 10-mile diversion route via the A443.
West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has been working on potential solutions to the problem with local army representatives.
Mrs Baldwin met with members of the community on Friday and was told a temporary Bailey bridge has previously been sited yards from the current river crossing during the Second World War.
She said: "Having spoken to the villagers, it is clear that they want a short-term solution to minimise the impact of the bridge collapse on the village, while the county council investigates the collapse and decides on a long-term solution.
"Clearly the army doesn't just deploy without a strict protocol, which in this case puts theWorcestershire County Council in charge of requesting their help.
"The army and the council are now in touch and I will ask the county to see if the army can come and do a rapid recce of the situation."
Following a visit by Worcestershire County Council highways manager, John Hobbs, to the site on Friday, chief executive Clare Marchant has appointed a project manager to lead the county's response to the incident.
Two minibus drivers carrying schoolchildren had a narrow escape when they reversed off it seconds before it fell away, avoiding disaster by a matter of seconds.
The county council has confirmed it is carrying out a detailed inspection of the bridge and is in contact with the Environment Agency, English Heritage and Natural England over it.
On Friday it emerged how the structure had last been inspected in December last year, with highways engineers going above and beyond Government guidelines on it.
A giant 60ft suspension bridge next to the M60 Barton Bridge in Manchester, collapsed on Monday (16th May).
At around 8:20am, The 500 tonne concrete platform, which was being constructed between four 31 metre high pillars, fell around 60 feet to the ground.
The structure is part of a new lifting bridge beside the Manchester Ship Canal, which will carry a new dual carriageway linking the Trafford Centre to Salford to help relieve congestion problems. When complete, it will be the widest one of its kind in the country.
Emergency services rushed to the site shortly after the collapse occurred, but thankfully no one was injured.
Workmen at an opposite construction site said they thought the devastating crash was an earthquake.
In a statement he made to ME News, Tony Slammon, project manager of the facing work site, said: "We were in our cabin at the front of the site at approximately 8.20am and felt the shudder and presumed it was an earthquake. It wasn't a bang, the whole building shook. Within a few minutes emergency services arrived."
Mr Slammon continued: "We have now seen the aftermath of what really happened.
"The cables have snapped. Clearly, the suspension cables that hold the bridge up have given way. The bridge has been up there for about two months and workmen do work in the raised position. It has given way, for what reason we don't yet know."
The works were being carried out by Peel Land and Property.
Works on the bridge have been halted indefinitely whilst investigations are under way, with the canal closed off to maritime traffic whilst the cause is discovered.
A spokeswoman for the Health and Safety Executive said: "HSE is aware of the incident. We have inspectors on site, including a specialist mechanical engineer, and are making preliminary enquiries."
Stranded tourists return to Gangtok- Bridge collapse makes 300 halt in north Sikkim village overnight
|Our Correspondent
Gangtok, May 18: Around 300 tourists were stranded overnight on the way back to Gangtok from north Sikkim as a concrete bridge over a stream collapsed near the north Sikkim highway.
The tourists, many of them from Bengal and who had gone to Yumthang valley and Gurudongmar lake, returned to Gangtok this evening after local police and villagers built a tacky log bridge over the stream and arranged for transport.
From today, the police in Gangtok have stopped issuing permits for north Sikkim that is frequented by tourists who want to visit Lachen, Lachung, Yumthang valley and Gurudongmar lake. Permits to go to north Sikkim will be issued after the bridge is mended.
The bridge, part of the north Sikkim highway, has the North district headquarters, Mangan, on one side and Chungthang on the other.
"The Chungthang-Mangan road is closed as the bridge at Rel Kyong got washed away by the overflowing stream yesterday," said the North district collector Karma Bonpo.
Rel Kyong is around 75km from Gangtok.
A senior BRO official said it would take at least four days to open the road.
Yesterday around 4pm, the bridge over the Ri Chu stream collapsed when water rushed down and washed away part of the structure.
According to meteorologist G.N. Raha at the Gangtok Met office, areas near Mangan got around 38.mm rainfall yesterday afternoon.
District project officer Karma Dorji Wajalingpa said: "Last night, the stranded tourists were accommodated in home stays, the homes of residents, schools and hotels near Toong, a village.
Although the local police had managed to arrange for the return of the 300 tourists to Gangtok by this evening, around 40 of them stayed back with plans to see Lachen and Lachung.
From Chungthang, tourists either visit Lachen and continue towards Gurudongmar lake or they proceed to Lachung and go to see Yumthang valley.
Many tour operators sent their vehicles from Gangtok today to pick up their respective guests.
"By the time we received the information yesterday evening, it was too late to send vehicles. We sent cars this morning," said tour operator Gagan Rai.
Snehamoy Chatterjee and his wife Kakoli from Thakurpukur in Calcutta said initially they were worried after they came to know that the road had been closed. They had to stay in the house of a villager at Toong. "We never thought that we would spend a night in a rural hamlet in north Sikkim. The experience was good and we enjoyed a delicious dinner, especially a local butter tea called suja," Kakoli said.
Partha Saha from Malda said the villagers had helped the tourists. "They welcomed us and gave us dinner and shelter. They refused to take any money in return. The villagers won our hearts with their kindness."
A couple from Madhya Pradesh who had booked a two-day trip to North Sikkim, however, sounded disappointed. "We had a desire to see Yumthang valley but now, we will head to Namchi in South Sikkim," said Sajan Oberoi who came with his wife Nandita.
– Transport in a section of Machakos county is completely paralysed after the only bridge serving major centers in the area collapsed.
– Area leaders are calling for a speedy response by the government, seeing as it is the second bridge in the area to crash in a span of three months
Residents in a section of Machakos County have been left stranded after the only bridge serving them to a neighbouring sub-county fell apart.
The Kaewa bridge, connecting Kathiani and Kangundo sub-counties to Mwala Sub-County, crashed on Friday following what was described as heavy traffic, as it was the only one left serving motorists after the collapse of Thwake main bridge during the El-Nino rains in December 2015.
"The second bridge that has been used by all motorists going in and out of the Kathiani and Kangundo sub-counties has broken down. The bridge might have broken down due to heavy tractors ferrying sand from the sub-counties," area Chief Titus Vuva was quoted by Machakos County News.
The chief called on the government to respond to the situation, saying residents have been left in a crisis, and development is being affected.
Motorists in the area have also been left worried as they use other bridges, fearing for similar occurrences.
Vuva advised users of bridges to exercise caution when approaching, as they wait for the government to repair the two bridges and recheck others.
Other issues experienced by motorists across the country on bridges is what is often termed as blackspots.
A few weeks ago on March 3, two people died after a vehicle they were travelling in plunged into Nithi River along the Embu-Meru road.
The driver is suspected to have lost control and hit the rails of the bridge, leading the car to plunge into the river where the two occupants died on the spot.
Area traffic commandant noted that most road accidents at the Nithi Bridge happen on weekends, and called on motorist to exercise caution when approaching the bridge.
A huge concrete slab fell Sunday on a major expressway that runs under downtown Montreal, the latest in a series of incidents that point to the city's crumbling infrastructure.
No one was injured in the collapse in the Ville-Marie tunnel, but the incident could have had disastrous consequences if it had occurred on Monday at the same time, during bumper to bumper rush hour traffic, police said.
"Our officers arrived at the scene and we verified and made sure that no one was stuck underneath the rubble," Daniel Thibaudeau, spokesman for Quebec provincial police, told reporters Sunday.
About 100,000 vehicles use the expressway during an average weekday, according to Transport Quebec.
Construction workers, who had been doing repairs on the walls of the tunnel, were the first to report the incident.
One worker, who asked not to be identified, said he thought the vibrations from the repairs may have led to the collapse.
The fallen structure measured about 15 metres long in total, and was composed of several concrete blocks designed to prevent glare as drivers entered the tunnel.
Officials with Transport Quebec, along with emergency crews, were at the scene Sunday trying to figure out what happened.
By late afternoon, dozens of curious bystanders had gathered on the sidewalk along the expressway to view the damage.
The falling concrete is just the latest in a series of infrastructure problems on the city's roads and bridges.
The emergency construction work on two crucial city arteries — the Champlain Bridge and the Turcot Interchange — has led to nightmarish traffic jams at odd hours, even in the dead of summer.
The incident on Sunday also brought back memories of the 2006 collapse of a highway overpass in nearby Laval, which killed five people and injured several more.
A spokeswoman for Transport Quebec tried to reassure Montreal drivers, saying the provincial government regularly inspects the city's transportation infrastructure and has invested $4 billion this year alone.
"We won't open this piece of infrastructure until we know it's safe," Caroline Larose told reporters gathered near the expressway.
Helen Christodoulou, a Montreal engineer and an expert on bridges, said the latest incident is proof that not enough has been done in Quebec since the 2006 overpass collapse.
Following the collapse, the province conducted a major review of the province's bridges and overpasses, promising to make any repairs necessary.
"It's very clear that the house needs order," Ms. Christodoulou said in an interview.
"If this had gone during a peak traffic time, you would have had an additional loss of life."
But the falling concrete also points to the major challenges ahead across Canada, as the country struggles to upgrade its aging roads, bridges and sewers.
Montreal's longtime mayor Gerald Tremblay said he has been pushing for more assistance from the federal and provincial government for a decade as part of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
"This isn't a situation particular to Montreal," he told reporters.
"We're doing everything that is humanly possible."
iciHaiti - FLASH : Bridge collapse on Rivière grise
19/03/2016 08:17:54
Friday, around 8:30 am the metal bridge 62 meters long by 20 meters wide, cast on Rivière grise on Route 9, connecting Cité soleil to the National #1 (north of the capital), partially collapsed at the passage of a dump truck carrying gravel. Note that this infrastructure, who sees every day nearly a hundred of heavily loaded trucks, was provided to support a maximum load of 20 tons, a rarely respected limit and often exceeded...
Alert, the Civil Protection Department (DPC) of the Ministry of Interior has sent brigadiers to the scene for the purpose of emergency response.
If no casualties were reported, the accident site however, was secured to prevent any other incidents at the scene, which remain relatively dangerous, pending the intervention of specific institutions for major mechanical actions.
An accident yet predictable on this old infrastructure of 20 years, which was not maintained by the Ministry of Public Works and whose bolted devices of several connections were stolen, without anyone worries about the consequences...

Sunday saw the release of a new iteration of Microsoft's
gaming console, the Xbox 360 Elite. The updated version of the Xbox 360 is
dressed all in black, along with matching accessories, plus new features that are
aimed at those with advanced high-definition televisions looking to enjoy
downloadable multimedia.
"This console includes a 120GB hard drive, a high-definition
multimedia interface (HDMI) port, a high definition (HD) cable and a premium
black finish, and comes with a wireless controller and Xbox Live headset," said
Peter Moore, the head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business. "The
Xbox 360 Elite's larger hard drive gives the gaming community an opportunity to
enjoy all that the next generation of entertainment has to offer – from video
games to movies and TV shows available through Xbox Live Video Marketplace."
Priced at $479.99, the Xbox 360 Elite is the third SKU in
Microsoft's console roster, joining the Pro and Core packages at $399.99 and
$299.99, respectively. Unlike Sony, who recently trimmed its PlayStation 3
lineup with the deletion of the 20GB console, Microsoft intends to maintain all
three product variants in the retail channel.
"Xbox 360 Elite joins the ranks of our Core and Pro offerings
that provide consumers with the flexibility to purchase the version of Xbox
that best fits their unique needs," said Moore.
The Xbox 360 Elite will stand out from the rest of the line
as being the new top-end model for hardcore gamers and high-definition
enthusiasts. "Xbox 360 Elite's larger hard drive and premium accessories will
allow our community to enjoy all that the next generation of entertainment has
to offer," Moore added.
The HDMI port is a feature
that will remain exclusive to the new Elite console, but the 120GB hard drive
is one that can be retrofitted onto a Pro or Core system. For existing Xbox 360
owners who simply want to upgrade their hard drives, the detachable accessory
will be sold separately for an estimated retail price of $179.99. Gamers who
don't buy into Microsoft's justification of the $179.99 price point may brave
warranty-voiding tactics to build their own 120GB
hard drive for a $100 savings.
The general consensus regarding the new HDMI output is that
it provides a picture that is slightly superior to that from component cables,
but is not worth the upgrade for existing owners. Aside from the HDMI port, the
Xbox 360 Elite is almost no different in functionality of a current Xbox 360
console with the expanded hard drive. The Elite console still omits any sort of
Wi-Fi feature and utilizes the same types of optical drives that give the Xbox
360 the reputation for a being a loud console. Reliability, however, may be
something Microsoft is attempting to address with the Elite. Found in a recent dissection of
the new console were minor changes presumably aimed at averting the
notorious Red Ring
of Death that many Xbox 360 owners have experienced.
The road leading up to the Xbox 360 Elite is a long and
storied one. The new console version was officially announced a month ago, but
whispers of a bigger hard drive—something that gamers have long
demanded—started last fall when pictures of a 100GB
HDD appeared in presentation materials for Korea. Shortly after, an 80GB HDD appeared in
the flesh at a Microsoft press event pushing the Xbox Live Video
What started off with rumors of a bigger hard drive morphed
into rumblings of a more drastic hardware revision after pictures leaked in
January of a prototype Xbox 360 with HDMI
output and new scaling hardware. Microsoft's Chris Satchell quickly
responded saying, "At the moment, everything you might have seen is just
looking at our experimentation back in Redmond, not really a product that we're
thinking about announcing."
After a couple months of silence, the rumor mill spun again
after a gaming magazine leaked key details of an updated
Xbox 360 console dressed in black. Then the very machines in question were
snapped by a camera phone during their infancies
on a Chinese production line. Finally, an XNA Developer made it all but
official after replying
to a question about coding on the new HDMI Xbox 360.
The shift to a smaller, cooler running Xbox 360 chips,
however, is one thing that was unable to make it into the Xbox 360 Elite.
Microsoft revealed plans nearly a year ago to shrink its current 90nm chips to the 65nm
process, something that's now slated for later this year.

quote: Coming this fall: a 65nm Xbox 360 By Jon Stokes | Published: April 30, 2007 - 11:35AM CTA new report in the DigiTimes has the 65nm version of the Xbox 360's "Xenos" GPU coming out sometime in the fall. The new GPU will be made on TSMC's 65nm process, now that the foundry can make the 65nm eDRAM that goes into the product. As for the console's "Xenon" CPU, Chartered Semi will be making the 65nm version that's rumored to be slated for sometime in mid-2007. So I guess it's theoretically possible that we could see a version of the console with a 65nm CPU and a 90nm GPU before the whole thing goes to 65nm by the end of this year, but I doubt this.Microsoft will want to start using the smaller chips as soon as it is feasible, because the smaller, cooler chips will let them redesign the console's insides for lower cost and higher reliability. But they'll only want to do this redesign once for 65nm, in order to get the full benefit of the die shrink. Some of this redesign may involve changes to the board-level layout, in addition to changes in the case's cooling apparatus. These changes will make the Xbox 360 cheaper to manufacture, and those savings will eventually (but not initially) be passed on to gamers in the form of price cuts on the console.The upshot for those who're on the fence about getting an Elite 360, either as an upgrade or as a new console, is that you should wait until the fall if possible. The chances are virtually zero that a 65nm shrink will see a new form factor for the design, but a cooler-running version will be more stable and may last longer.

I emailed the staff on numerous occasions and appreciated the advice and swift replies. Like most hotels in Iceland and Europe, rooms are small by American standards. C'est la vie!
I stayed here because the hotel was part of a tour package. I also added a day at the beginning and end of the tour, mainly for convenience, not for price.
I stayed in a room above the restaurant/bar and on the weekend it was extremely noisy. My room was hot and I wanted to leave a window open but in the summer, people party hardy on the weekends. The other nights I stayed here were not on a weekend. I asked for a quieter room but got the same one. It was a bit quieter in the restaurant below but I still closed the window at night due to the noise factor.
The breakfast was not included when I was on my own, but it was as part of the tour package and it was very good. For cheaper food options there is a nice little grocery store (towards the church), an excellent bakery in the opposite direction, and the restaurant "C is for Cookie" is right across the street. It is also excellent!
Oh, and look for a blind! The first night I stayed there I was surprised and disappointed with the flimsy curtains. Then someone pointed out to me that there were blinds. They aren't obvious nor easily pulled down but they are there and really help when it's light our 24/7! Pack eye blinds and ear plugs for summer nights in Iceland.

Speyside whiskies are among Scotland's lightest, sweetest single malts. Age often brings a bit more body and the profusion of heavily sherried whiskies from the region exhibit superb power. Though a comparatively small appellation, Speyside has, by some distance, the vast majority of Scotch whisky distilleries. Indeed there are eighty-four working distilleries, including the world's best-sellers: The Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and The Macallan.
The Speyside style has altered over time, a traditional Speyside single malt would be more akin to a Highland whisky, with a definite robustness and a marked peat. More recent expressions are lighter, sweeter whiskies; honeyed and fine. Lacking the peat of Islay or the Highlands, the ozone and salinity of coastal malts or the dry, perfume of the Lowlands; Speyside whiskies are sweet and subtle. There is however, no hard and fast rule as to the characteristics of Speyside whisky, for more than half of Scotland's distilleries are to be found in this sub-region of the Highlands.
Older variants, particularly from those powerhouse distilleries: Macallan and Glenfarclas are often well-sherried, thick drams. There is a tendency to steer away from heavily finished whiskies, indeed most are matured in either ex-bourbon or ex-sherry casks. A heavily sherried Speyside single malt to be the perfect companion to a medium-bodied cigar, and a particularly well-aged expression can be the utmost of postprandial swigs.
Some of the light, youthful Speyside whiskies, perhaps from Allt-á-Bhainne or Glen Elgin, are charming and delightful. There is a low mineral content in the waters of Speyside, lying on the Grampians, with their granite content proffering soft waters. As a rule, the whiskies are either very low or totally devoid of peat, there is not a great abundance of it locally, though it has been used with some successful results in the cases of BenRiach and Tomintoul's Ballantruan respectively.

Barack Obama's former pastor says criticism of his sermons is an attack on the black church. And he's delivering that message to the Washington media.
In a speech to the National Press Club, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright also defended his patriotism. He said he and members of his church, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, have served in the military while some of his critics have "used their positions of privilege" to avoid service.
Wright also said he hopes that the controversy surrounding him will spark an honest dialogue about race in this country.
Video clips of Wright's sermons have been widely shown on television and the Internet. They also proved damaging to Obama's presidential campaign.

these are amazing!! made them for a new years party and everyone loved them!!!!!
Can't believe I forgot to review this one. Made these this summer for a pool party we hosted and they were loved by everyone. So easy to make and a great way to have a hand held salad. Made just as written and wouldn't change a thing!
Incredible! I want to make it again because my mouth is watering.
What a great dish! And so cute! The pasta shells are probably easier to fill than pasta like manicotti. Could sub seasoned rice vinegar for lemon juice for added flavor.
Perfect party food for a barbecue! My whole family mowed down on them and they were gone in no time. I plan to play with adding different ingredients in the shells and making them all different ways!
These are adorable and tasty! I made a reduced amount and both of us thought they were cute. I will definitely be making this recipe again to take to a potluck. I used chopped green onions instead of red and also stayed with parmesan in the salad. I placed three on lettuce leaves on individual salad plates to serve. Thanks for sharing the recipe! =)
I made these for our Christmas Eve appetizer buffet. Followed the recipe almost exactly, left out the pepperoni and used packaged shredded lettuce. The whole family loved them. I think I made 2 dozen and had three left, which was great, cuz I didn't get a chance to try them until the next day. I plan on taking these to our neighborhood New Year's gathering. Quick & delicious! Thanks!
I loved your recipe...Omigoodness...I am definitely going to make this again and again. I used feta cheese and did not add pepperoni as all my other foods had meat and I wanted one veg gie dish.
These are so delicious with a wonderful combination of flavors. I made these to eat while watching the Super Bowl and they were a big hit. My family thoroughly enjoyed them. This is a very impressive appetizer to serve to guests or take somewhere for a potluck.
The grocery store was out of jumbo shells, and pushed for time I grabbed up some Rotini Twist pasta and served it as a salad. It was a wonderful marriage of flavors and the texture was great also. thanks for sharing puppitypup.

Beyond the Barrio: Latinos in the 2004 Electionsby Rodolfo O. de la Garza, Louis DeSipio, David L. Leal
Pub. Date: 04/30/2010
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Press
Beyond the Barrio: Latinos in the 2004 Elections analyzes the mobilization of Latino voters at the state and national levels during the 2004 campaign and the efforts of Latino communities to influence electoral outcomes.

Beyond the Barrio: Latinos in the 2004 Elections analyzes the mobilization of Latino voters at the state and national levels during the 2004 campaign and the efforts of Latino communities to influence electoral outcomes. The volume is the most recent installment in the quadrennial analyses of Latinos and national elections begun in 1988 by Rodolfo de la Garza and Louis DeSipio. This ongoing project is the only scholarly effort to track the emergence of Latino influence in U.S. politics over the last two decades.
The volume examines how and when Latinos were the focus of candidate/campaign mobilization, how Latinos themselves organized to influence electoral outcomes, and where and under what circumstances they succeeded. In addition to state-level analyses, Beyond the Barrio presents an analytical overview of the national presidential campaign that includes measures of Latino influence and a review of state and local contests that led to the election of Latino officials. It also extends the analysis to states with small Latino populations that are just beginning to organize. The editors consider 2004 as a "signpost" election, in which both major parties began a transition from symbolic gestures toward Latino voters to more serious, issue-related efforts to court the Latino vote.
The expertise of the contributors ensures that Beyond the Barrio avoids simple generalizations about the "Latino vote" and illustrates its complexity, as well as the opportunities and challenges faced by Latino voters and Latino leaders.
"This latest volume focusing on Latino politics in the 2004 election may well be the best in the series. If you are looking for a book on Latino political participation or a work to supplement your American Government class, this is the book." Robert D. Wrinkle, University of Texas-Pan American
"This volume makes an indispensable contribution toward understanding the continuing political development of U.S. Latino communities by assessing their roles in the 2004 U.S. elections. This book should not be missed by anyone interested in tracking the complex realities of the roles played by the nation's largest ethno-racial minority group in the first national elections since officially gaining that status following the 2000 decennial U.S. Census."

I've been using appstats to examine some calls. I have a simple view that makes a memcache call and returns the result. Appstats tells me that the total time (Grand Total) is around 15ms. However, what I observe in the browser is more like 242ms or so. And actually, I also get the same result using apache bench. I tried another network (using an ec2 instance) to see if I would see different round trip time and also got about the same result. A ping to the server takes about 13 or 14ms.
I am definitely missing something here. There is around 180-200ms of latency that I can't account for. Based on experience w/ app engine and appstats, I'm hoping someone can help me open my eyes to what I am missing.
Some environment details if interested ... python 2.7; used both webapp2 and Flask in tests; my apache bench tests have all been single threaded hitting 100 times.
Thanks for any insight.

Myrtle Creek Historical Society
Preserving local history in photos and narrations
The goal of the Historical Society is to preserve the history of the City of Myrtle Creek and the surrounding communities in the 97457 Zip Code area.
Applegate Trail dedication
May 26th at 2 p.m, ceremony. on sîte (Dole Rd).... dedication of the Applegate Trail section recently acquired for preservation
Meeting this Friday
|old postcard
The Myrtle Creek Historical Society meets this Friday, May 20th at 1:30 p.m. in the council chambers. This is a week earlier than normal meeting time because of the holiday at the end of the month.
Let's Light Up the RIO!
Many Myrtle Creek and local area residents remember "going to the movies" at the RIO Theater or enjoying performances at the "Myrtle Creek Opera", where a young Michael Fowler first played his fiddle to a public audience.
Unfortunately, the interior of the RIO, which opened at the First Avenue location on Friday, January 9, 1953, has been remodeled to the extent that it cannot be restored to its' original condition. However, there is a current opportunity to apply for a "Diamonds in the Rough" matching grant from the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department to "light up" the RIO sign and make cosmetic improvements to the marquee and outside lobby.
In November 2015 a Preservation Specialist from Oregon Parks & Recreation conducted a site visit and thought the RIO would be a good candidate for the grant. Further, two electricians, Michael Fowler from Myrtle Creek and Hal Fletcher from Albany, OR have inspected the wiring and the existing RIO neon sign and provided cost estimates to make necessary repairs that would make it possible to "Light Up the RIO" again. Finally, the building owner has given permission to proceed with the project if the grant is approved.
Total cost estimates to date are between $5,000 to $6,000.0, which means that approximately $3,000.00 in cash or in-kind services is needed to meet the 50% match.
Since the deadline to apply for the grant is May 13th, 2016, donations to help meet the match are now being solicited and should be received by May 11th. Please make checks payable to the Main Street Myrtle Creek Association, write RIO Project in memo line, and mail to: 729 S. Main Street, #2, Myrtle Creek, OR 97457. All donations may be tax-deductible. The Main Street Myrtle Creek Association, is an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

This Day in History: April 12, 1954
Bill Haley and the Comets record "Rock Around The Clock"On April 12, 1954— Bill Haley and the Comets recorded "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock." If rock and roll was a social and cultural revolution, then "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" was its Declaration of Independence. And if Bill Haley was not exactly the revolution's Thomas Jefferson, it may be fair to call him its John Hancock.

In a nutshell, I'm looking to have WordPress use our LDAP servers to authenticate users instead of WordPress' database. I'll still create users in WordPress and have the WordPRess usernames match our LDAP entries, but I want the authentication to come from our LDAP server instead of WordPress. I know there are a few LDAP plugins out there, but I don't need all the extra functionality that they offer.
So, can anyone tell me what file or files I'd need to modify in order to bypass WordPress' password checks and use my LDAP server instead? I can hack together the LDAP part, I'm just not sure where to start snooping around in WordPress files.
