Video: The Concert Corner - Summerfest's first headliner, recapping Bob Dylan and more
After a two-week hiatus due to Superstorm Sandy, the Concert Corner with CineStars' Brittany Umar is up and running again. (CineStars is based in New Jersey, and was without power for over a week because of the storm.)
For this installment I take a look back at two shows I recently reviewed - Bob Dylan at the BMO Harris Bradley Center last Thursday, and R. Kelly's randy show at the Milwaukee Theatre Saturday - plus take a look at the week's big show with Journey (don't stop believin' people) and Summerfest's first headliner announcement. »Read Full Blog Post
'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article
Mitten Fest to return to Bay View
The festival that is as much fun to say as it is to visit is back. Mitten Fest 2014 is set for Feb. 8.
The winter street festival highlighted by barrels of brandy Old Fashioneds and live music will run from noon to 8 p.m. at Burnheart's, 2599 S. Logan Ave. As they did last year, organizers will collect nonperishable food and warm clothes for Hunger Task Force, Inc. »Read Full Article
On Tap Today: Cold, colder, coldest - but some stuff still going on
So, you probably heard: It's really, really cold. Schools and lots of businesses and activities are shut down Monday because of the dangerous wind chills.
But not everything is shut down in Milwaukee today. At least not yet. So if cabin fever has you looking to escape, you have a few options. »Read Full Blog Post

Cell transplantation offers a novel therapeutic strategy for stroke; however, how transplanted cells function in vivo is poorly understood. We show for the first time that after subacute transplantation into the ischemic brain of human central nervous system stem cells grown as neurospheres (hCNS-SCns), the stem cell-secreted factor, human vascular endothelial growth factor (hVEGF), is necessary for cell-induced functional recovery. We correlate this functional recovery to hVEGF-induced effects on the host brain including multiple facets of vascular repair and its unexpected suppression of the inflammatory response. We found that transplanted hCNS-SCns affected multiple parameters in the brain with different kinetics: early improvement in blood-brain barrier integrity and suppression of inflammation was followed by a delayed spatiotemporal regulated increase in neovascularization. These events coincided with a bimodal pattern of functional recovery, with, an early recovery independent of neovascularization, and a delayed hVEGF-dependent recovery coincident with neovascularization. Therefore, cell transplantation therapy offers an exciting multimodal strategy for brain repair in stroke and potentially other disorders with a vascular or inflammatory component.

LEEDS, U.K. — Wal-Mart's Asda chain here is planning to expand its fledgling smaller-format supermarket format in the U.K. to 100 locations by 2013, the company told analysts and investors at a meeting Thursday. The stores will help the chain, based here, "reach customers who find it difficult getting to one of our larger stores," said Andy Bond, Asda's president and chief executive officer, who earlier this week announced his plans to leave those positions and become executive chairman. ...

For clarification purposes, I am rewriting from scratch with additional information.
Consider the following:
y = hex(1200)
I need to replace that first 0 of y with a '\' to make it look like '\x04b0'. I am communicating with an instrument over RS-232 serial which takes parameters strictly in that format ('\xSumCharsHere'). Python won't let me do the following.
z = '\x' + y[2:]
ValueError: invalid \x escape
The following is not acceptable, because it still has '\\' in the actual value assigned to z.
z = '\\' + y[1:]
The end goal is to send a command like this to my serial port:
s.write(z) # s is a serial object
s.write('\x04b0') # This call is an equivalent of the call above
s.write('\\x04b0') # This command will not work

I can only hope that they never decide to implement "lolreverts"
Sometimes a one-line text-only description of your git commits just isn't enough. For those types of scenarios there is software called "lolcommits" that is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux that, when enabled, takes a photo with your webcam every time you commit your code via git. Now you can really let your co-workers know how you feel about having to fix their whitespace issues all the time with just a simple facial expression. After the photo is taken, the git message is overlayed on top of the image is a style reminiscent of lolcats. The resulting image files are then stored locally in your home directory. [more inside]

The Queen Of Code
Why I Am Not a Maker
There's a widespread idea that "People who make things are simply different [read: better] than those who don't." [...] It's not, of course, that there's anything wrong with making (although it's not all that clear that the world needs more stuff). The problem is the idea that the alternative to making is usually not doing nothing—it's almost always doing things for and with other people, from the barista to the Facebook community moderator to the social worker to the surgeon. Describing oneself as a maker—regardless of what one actually or mostly does—is a way of accruing to oneself the gendered, capitalist benefits of being a person who makes products. [more inside]

Out of the Tar Pit: Analysis of Software Complexity
Out of the Tar Pit (SL-GitHub to PDF) by Ben Moseley and Peter Marks. Abstract:
Complexity is the single major difficulty in the successful development of large-scale software systems. Following Brooks we distinguish accidental from essential difficulty, but disagree with his premise that most complexity remaining in contemporary systems is essential. We identify common causes of complexity and discuss general approaches which can be taken to eliminate them where they are accidental in nature. To make things more concrete we then give an outline for a potential complexity-minimizing approach based on functional programming and Codd's relational model of data.[more inside]

A tongue-in-cheek aside reveals that counting infrequently-mentioned languages yields another happiness/coolness chart that puts Elm at the top, just above other surprises.
girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US.

Eigendemocracy: crowd-sourced deliberative democracy
Scott Aaronson on building a 'PageRank' for (eigen)morality and (eigen)trust - "Now, would those with axes to grind try to subvert such a system the instant it went online? Certainly. For example, I assume that millions of people would rate Conservapedia as a more trustworthy source than Wikipedia—and would rate other people who had done so as, themselves, trustworthy sources, while rating as untrustworthy anyone who called Conservapedia untrustworthy. So there would arise a parallel world of trust and consensus and 'expertise', mutually-reinforcing yet nearly disjoint from the world of the real. But here's the thing: anyone would be able to see, with the click of a mouse, the extent to which this parallel world had diverged from the real one." [more inside]

But all for naught, it seems, as Team Twitch finds itself hilariously stranded on the ledges of Route 19 where, as one viewer explained, "they basically have to walk a small path for about ten spaces without anyone pushing down and jumping Red off the ledge," a grim democratic reality the dedicated subreddit /r/twitchplayspokemon has had all kinds of fun with over the last dozen ludicrous hours.

A self-taught engineer and software designer who assembled his first computer while in his teens, Magyar captures his images using some of the world's most sophisticated photographic equipment, modified with software he writes himself.

Tampa Bad Credit Auto Loans Are Available - Rebuild America Auto Program
Rebuild America Auto Program issued an alert to car buyers with damaged credit in the Greater Tampa Bay area on Wednesday, explaining the difference between a Tampa bad credit auto loan and "buy here/pay here" automobile dealerships.
Rebuild America Auto Program explained that car buyers who have experienced credit damage due to situations, like extended deployment in the military, are often unaware that there is a financing option that will allow them to purchase a low-mileage used automobile and repair their bad credit at the same time. Lenders will take a chance on a car buyer with a low FICO score who has at one time or another had better credit. These lenders understand that there are events in life that range from the loss of a job to the draining reality of a terminal illness like kidney failure, and these life events will lead to a dip in the FICO score.
Rebuild America Auto Program explained that borrowers need to understand:
· There is no way around an auto loan with a significant interest rate after there is a drop in the FICO score.
· If a borrower manages to make payment on a bad credit auto loan and all of the regular bills on time, they will typically qualify for a better rate of interest when you applying for a future auto loan
· Failure to pay on a Tampa bad credit auto loan on time will result in a further decrease in credit score.
The Washington DC based Rebuild America Auto Program specializes in Tampa bad credit auto loans for people who have gone through bankruptcy, foreclosure, long term lack of credit due to extended military service and even assistance for a first time buyer. Rebuild America Auto Program works with banks nationwide, in an effort to help people typically declined by most banks find credible financing for the car they need.

Last week we released a new navigation scheme and shared with you our plans for creating a new platform that promises to personalize your oDesk experience and deliver more successful online work relationships. The initial step in these plans is to create more useful and tailored applications for our users. The first of these, announced last week, is oDesk Recruit which combines everything employers need to find, evaluate, and connect with their next remote worker.
Today, we unveil our 2nd application for employers, oDesk's Manage My Team, which combines everything employers need to monitor work across their teams, manage their team rosters and payroll, and easily communicate and collaborate on current assignments.
This new application comes with a brand new My Contractors hub – one simple control panel to manage all your current remote work. Look for the opt-in link to this new Manage home page from your Team Room to explore this new hub and quickly and easily:
Manage Active Contractors
- See your team roster, know who is online and review the latest activity
- Quickly see the total amount worked to ensure you're on budget
- Send a message, make a payment, or edit a contract using quick links
Review Payroll
- See all weekly hours billed (to date)
- Review last week's timelog & get notified before payment is due
- Quickly access all other reports
Get Help
- Alerts tell you when a contractor started working, when to review a timelog, and when a payment is pending
- Tips and advice help you know what to do each step of they way
And, we've still got more to come in the next few weeks with our new navigation. Up next, a new application for contractors to help you grow and manage your remote work career.
We'd like to hear from you. What's working and what's not working with our new navigation and our new applications? Visit our community forum post to discuss with other users, or send us direct feedback via our survey (see the link at the top right of the My Contractors page).

Rupp: "A great situation" - 7-1-09
New Penguins forward Mike Rupp had some rather interesting comments regarding the Penguins' pursuit of his talents. From The Record's Tom Gulitti:
"Pittsburgh was a team that my agent and I felt that they were really coming at us pretty good. They impressed us and we were looking at how teams were coming at us and we felt that Pittsburgh was really looking like they wanted to sign me and it just worked out. This is where I want to be and it's a great situation."
"I know my agent had spoken to them, but we didn't overly get into what other teams were talking about because of the way the Penguins were handing the situation and that's the route that we went. I hold the Devils' organization in very high regard, but it was just that (the Penguins) impressed me and not just because they won the Cup this year. I was impressed with the way that organization is structured and the direction it's going. That was a big part of it."

Hi Donncha et al.
My question is not so much if the plugin will work on individual sites on a multi-site setup but can it be used by super admin to scan the complete database and all themes and plugins (even not activated ones) that are installed on the network in one go?
Or does the plugin need to be activated on each site and run seperately for each one?
Either way, thanks for this excellent (and rather quintessential as our network has recently been hacked via the Famous theme that used to be on WordPress Extend !!) security tool :)

Arts "When I write badly, it's because I've been cowardly, I've lied…"
posted by November 21 at 12:35 PMon
Slog reader Josh found this excellent radio interview with Zadie Smith on KCRW. She talks about the idea of the good, the idea of beauty extracted from all content, misunderstanding David Foster Wallace, Aristotle, the people who run liberal arts colleges, conservative characters versus liberal characters, hiding the scaffolding of a novel's structure, Iris Murdoch, black people who think they're inauthentic or aren't black enough…
Constantly when I'm in interviews I'm being told, Your books are all about the search for identity, and I always think, My books are about that search being completely pointless.
A slightly longer sound bite on reading as an analogy of living, and Jane Austen:
Good reading is an anaolgy of good living, because it takes all kinds of sensitivities, committments, beliefs, passivityall kinds of different qualities to understand, when you pick up, say, Pride and Prejudice, what's going on in that book. Not just on the superficial level, its plot and character, but what it believes, that book. And, I mean, Austen, she was a bit of a rationalist-positivist in a sense because she really believed there are rational people who move through the world making these great choices, they make them very carefully, and at the end there's a happy ending. So that's not to everybody's taste but it is a model for what fiction does. Her books are kind of a hypothetical ethical arena. You walk into them, you have all these choices in front of you, and the wonderful thing about them is they're not life or death, they're not your choices, they're Elizabeth Bennet's choices, but you place yourself in this arena and you move through this carefully affiliated world of choice. Austen does it in a quite a simple and beautiful way, other writers do it in incredibly complicated ways. And the complexity of that is a real education of the emotions and an education of the heart and it's very hard to get that education elsewhere. So a piece of moral philosophyOn Beauty was half based on a book called On Beauty and Being Just, which is a small theoretical text, but the question is, a small theoretical text gives you an idea of beauty and makes an argument which you have to come to with your rational mind. Now a novel can make exactly the same case but it does it in a different way, and those procedures are vital, they're really important to becoming a human being. Becoming a human being isn't just something you get with your birth. It's an exercise and it takes your whole life.
Here she is on writing badly:
Any writer, even though they may never make this argument because it's very hard to make and defend yourself from critics and academics who will shoot you down, knows that, to be a good writer, it's more than craft. To be a good writer is not just craft, it's also yourself. And I don't mean in some simple American self-improvement sense… When writers write bad books, it's not just an act separate from themselves. It's the writer who has written the bad book. When I write badly, it's because I've been cowardly, I've liedit seems odd to say in fiction I've lied but any writer knows what I'm talking about. I can reread a book, like I reread The Autograph Man on a plane for the first time a few days ago, and I was enjoying it to a point, and then I got to a 20-page section and I knew it was a lie, and I rememeber when I wrote it I knew it was a lie. That's what I mean. It's very, very hard to discuss as a critic or academic, but writers know what I'm talking about and it's one of the most profound feelings of self-betrayal. You've betrayed yourself in some way.
If I've gotten any of her words wrong, it's my faultI just transcribed these passages. Listen to the whole thing, it's great. I've listened to it several times now. (I am a big fan.) The lecture she says she's going to give soon she gave at The New Yorker festival. 'Twas awesome.

The shopping experience with Walmart was excellent, I definitely will go back to buy there, the good thing with this book is that you have every song that The Beatles wrote, the bad thing that in order to fit them in one book the notes are written very very small so it's almost impossible to read it
This is the best gift to give any musician or Beatles fan!!! I got this book for my boyfriend for Christmas and he just went crazy over it. I'm so glad I got this book for him. :) It topped all his over Christmas presents :)
I bought this as a Christmas gift for that person who has everything. He loves The Beatles, and was very intrigued with the book. Good book, great price. Thank you, Walmart!
Great learning tool for all levels - things for beginners all the way to pro. I wish this came out a long time ago.

I have been on a H1B visa for the past two years. My employer will renew it after a year. Are these years counted toward my eligibility to apply for a Green Card? If so, in how many years, can I apply for one?
Immigration Attorney
H1B time does not "count" toward a green card. You employer must sponsor you for lawful permanent residency (a Green card) separately in most cases. This often includes a process called labor certification. Depending on the minimum requirements for the position and your country of origin, this process can take many years in some cases. The recommended strategy will depend on your specific facts.
Both you and your employer should contact an experienced immigration lawyer to discuss the process in more detail.

We were there due a death in the family, the place was perfect for a family gathering. Staff amazing, room was great, etc!
The ONLY negative was the bathroom door has a frosted glass insert. If you are staying with friends, or even family, you could see right through. Thought this was a bit weird, as did my niece and nephew who were with me in the room!
close to beach ,very helpful staff comfortable overall
The staff, the rooms, ambiance, rooftop terrace, attached restaurant, Pineapple Jack's, convenience to everything! It was such a breath of fresh air!
Absolutely amazing stay. What a beautiful place.
The hotel was a surprise. It wasn't a full service hotel...but the rooms were definitely worth it.
The beach was so so.
Location on the beach,out of the way but convenient to get to.
The facilities didn't include an exercise room not a bar.
Clean, quiet, friendly staff and awesome (free) breakfast buffet!
Noise of the cleaning carts going by the room woke me up.
Convenience. We had no problem getting ground floor room. Also, the breakfast was amazing. Again for the convenience and presentation. It started our day off in a great way.
The room was clean.
The hotel is quite old and tired looking. My room faced a large auto repair station, and something like a cement factory - ugly. Inside rooms have a pool view.
Booked BW in part because it had a fridge. Arrived and fridge not working. Front desk told me it was probably just defrosting, which I knew it wasn't and told them as much, all they could do is offer me a few extra ice buckets. Maintenance came in the morning and determined it was unplugged (which you couldn't figure out easily because of the jumble of wires behind the storage unit). It turned out it plugged into the back of the microwave, go figure. Anyway, I learned the reason it was unplugged was because it made a disconcerting banging noise, just loud enough to wake me up at night. It also froze everything I put in it. Upon reporting this and asking them to replace the fridge they sent maintenance the next day who turned down the temperature. Suffice it to say, the problem was never resolved and I resorted to unplugging it, which must have been what the last guest did.
While the beds and bath area were clean, the hotel was old and in need of more than a few coats of paint. It was good the breakfast was free because I would never have paid for it. under $100 would still be worth it, but not more than.
We liked your staff.
the floor of our room and bathroom could have been cleaner.
Great facilities. Awesome place for the money
Maybe some body lotion in the bathroom. Other than that, it was great.
Love the bistro/starbucks
The staff was so friendly! We will definitely stay here again!
Pool need access thats not from main lobby.
More of a family resort than quiet and relaxing for couples.
Main hotel is located right off the main road. Not very pretty scenery as you pull in, definitely not "beach resort" type feel initially. You are a ways from the beach or water view unless you are staying at the hotel's other buildings for a higher rate. Not much included for the price. Rooms pretty basic. For the price maybe breakfast should be included. Staff friendly and accommodating especially after we were initially given a dingy handicapped accessible room. They moved us no problem.
This was a good location for the area.
While checking in, Kim was having a hard time with the reservation. To make it up, she upgraded us to a better room. Two hours later, her supervisor Erica, called the room and told us that we would have to get out of the room. Only after speaking with the manager, were we ALLOWED to stay in the room.
We enjoyed our clean room, good breakfast choices, warm chocolate chip cookies, and friendly staff.
Our flatscreen tv was not HD and had no business channels. The refrigerator chirpped and squeaked all night, and the bathroom lighting was very dim.
Clean and the manager was nice and informative.

Online donations made easy
WeShare makes online giving and event registrations easy for your church. There is no setup fee, and no software for your staff to download and maintain.
As your merchant, we implement the safest security standards for online transactions. You will never be responsible for collecting and storing financial information associated with WeShare. We are PCI level 1 compliant.
We actively partner with your church and provide you with free, engaging marketing materials to help your parishioners to start giving online through WeShare.
Our interactive demo will give you a complete behind-the-scenes look at WeShare. Click the link below to attend a webinar.
Our goals were to develop a system that would be cost efficient and easy-to-use. I have had many positive comments—and our on-line giving has doubled since we started.
-Jack, St. Steven's
We have seen an increase in giving of 24% from those households giving to our Operating Fund through WeShare. This is significant.
-Joe, Our Lady of Lourdes
The program pretty much runs itself and enables those who wish to pay via credit card to do so on their own without having to give out information they might be uncomfortable giving to me as the Office Manager.
– Maureen, St. Patrick's Parish
Our parish began using WeShare almost two years ago, not only for Sunday offerings but for tuition for our Faith Formation, day care, and other children's programs. It is now the standard way tuition is paid in our parish. Sunday offerings have seen a slow but steady adoption until by now about 20% of our Sunday donations are through WeShare.
– Father Vin, Our Lady of Grace
Our first year we had 112 people using WESHARE. Our second year we had 342 people using WESHARE. We have 1243 registered families. We had a 52% increase in WESHARE donations from the first year to the second year. If you market it correctly in your parish WESHARE can be of great help in a number of ways.
– Father Dan, Our Lady of Angels
The start-up process was very simple. We are a parish of several churches but this was not a problem for the WeShare template. It's all on the Internet and easy to use.
– Rev. Jeffrey, Our Lady of the Lakes
– Tracy, St. Stephen Catholic Church
– Joanne, St. Michael the Archangel

- There was many ceremonies during the year, mostly to try to ensure good crops.
- Human sacrifices were given to the gods.
- These sacrifices were performed at large temples.
- http://www.angelfire.com/az/atid410/(MB)
- The Aztecs divided the world into time and space. They believed that the world was divided into five different eras, or suns. Past eras were ruled by one God each and had all been destroyed with the destruction of the elements or the phenomena after which the era was named. The Aztecs thought they lived in the fifth and last era, movement. Consequently, they believed it would be destroyed by earthquakes and that would be the end of the world and time would finally come to an end. http://www.philtar.ac.uk/encyclopedia/latam/aztec.html KM
- Huitzilpochtli favours hearts of his sacrifices – hearts are torn from victims' bodies
- Every February children sacrificed to maize gods on mountaintops
- http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=aa12 (MH)
- Every 18 month cycle a human sacrifice was painted, placed on a slab and the heart was cut out while they were still alive. The heart was held up as an offering to the sun, the body was then thrown down the temple stairs http://www.aztec-history.com/aztec-sacrifice.html (EG)
- Aztecs beliefs were based in their perception of nature, its time space, and cycles. (GMS)
- most of their rituals are means of avoiding the destructive and chaotic forces of nature, and finding harmony within nature. (GMS)
- A special ritual called xochiyaoyotl (flower/flowery war) involved the people of the empire and their enemies capturing and sacrificing each other as food for the gods http://www.aztec-history.com/aztec-sacrifice.html (EG)
- Virgins were also sacrificed in order to honour Xochipilli. A special ceremony in which the victim's legs were crossed before cutting out their hearts was held for this Aztec goddess. Their bodies were then taken to "the house of the mist," which was created specifically for these sacrifices.
- A woman representing Xochiquetzal would also be ritually killed in her honour. A priest would then wear her skin and sit in front of the temple while craftsman would dance around the priest as he pretended to weave. The craftsmen would dress as dogs, monkeys, coyotes, ocelots, and jaguars as they held symbols of their craft, such as a paintbrush.
- Huitzilopochtli - A special temple on the Main Pyramid was created for this Aztec sun god. Many sacrifices took place here and the heads of the victims were placed on a rack.
- This sense of loyalty, respect, and even fear lead the Aztecs to perform a variety of rituals, including human sacrifices, in order to appease their gods. Their belief was that by performing these rituals, they could avoid being harmed in any way by the gods. Therefore, Aztec temples were built in order to perform these precise and elaborate rituals and sacrifices.http://www.aztec-indians.com/aztec-gods.html (BW)
- It is believed that every year the Aztecs would sacrifice around a quarter of a million people to their Gods http://www2.truman.edu/~marc/webpages/nativesp99/aztecs/aztec_template.html KM
- A Heaven and an Underworld was a belief of the Aztecs. They believed there to be 13 levels of Heaven and 9 of Underworld http://yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1994/3/94.03.03.x.html#b KM
- The Aztecs believed there to be four horizontal points, corresponding to the compass points, and they were associated with the four creator Gods. Everyone was assigned to a point, depending on the day of your birth http://yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1994/3/94.03.03.x.html#b KM
- What you did on Earth and how you died affected where you went after death – this was a belief of the Aztecs. The 'House of the Sun', the eastern paradise, was the home of souls of warriors that died in combat. The souls of enemy warriors were included too. They had a special 'God of the Enemy Dead'. Sacrificed victims went to the eastern paradise also. The souls stayed in there for four years then returned to Earth as hummingbirds or other exotic birds. http://yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1994/3/94.03.03.x.html#b KM
- The House of Corn, the western paradise, was for women who died whilst giving birth. They returned to Earth as phantoms of bad omens. The paradise of Tlatoc, the southern paradise, was for the people who died of lightening, leprosy and other sicknesses. Food was plentiful here.
- The northern paradise was where the rest of the dead went. It was called Mictlan and took four years to accomplish as nine trials had to be passed. http://ancient-religions.wikispaces.com/How+did+the+AZTECS+practice+their+worship%3F KM
- The Aztecs had many beliefs. They believed the sun fought darkness every night and rose to save mankind. They believed the earth was flat. They believed that if they fed the sun blood, it would rise. (BH)
- Calendar showed need to control destructive forces of nature - done through sacrifice to the gods
- http://www.philtar.ac.uk/encyclopedia/latam/aztec.html (MH)
- Important in Aztec religion were the sun, moon and the planet Venus—all of which held different symbolic and religious meanings and were connected to deities and geographical places.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_religion) (H.W)

Re: Auto Loan after 2 Charge Offs that are 3 years old. 607 FICO
I think a loan is possible. The rate will be higher compared to those baddie-free, and I bet it'll be somewhere in the mid-double digits. I'd aim for a CU for a better rate.
If I had that, I would PIF the CCs first. Paying won't help the CO any, but it will improve util and that'll increase your FICO scores. It'll also lower the DTI and that will also improve your odds.

I wear a belt I got for $30 from the local farm supply store that's lined. It is plenty stiff enough for everyday carry.

Read an Excerpt
This was it. A lifetime of preparation for the case that could make or break her career.
Barbara Callister drew in a discreet breath for reassurance as she smoothed the impeccable camel-colored wool of her severely tailored suit, then pushed open the door to the courtroom. She'd checked and rechecked every detailfrom each line of every document resting inside her briefcase to the raw silk blouse that softened her power suit.
Barrett and Barrett could send out every top gun in their arsenal and they wouldn't catch her unprepared. She scanned the crowd, wondering which one of the "suits" was the infamous Kenneth Gerrard, the barracuda sent from the San Francisco legal office to outpower the local legal talent. Barbara, along with the partners in her firm, Coker and Rigley, had been surprised by the turn of events.
She'd been assigned this case because she was goodone of Salt Lake City's best litigators. But no one in her firm had expected the opposition to call in a high-powered litigator from out of town. Expecting once this news broke to have to relinquish the case to one of the senior partners, Barbara had been amazed to find they still wanted her to represent Coker & Rigley in the case of the decade. Corporate litigation was her specialty and she sensed this case could propel her forward on the partnership track sooner than she anticipated.
A whirlwind of barely contained energy honed to fighting form, Barbara moved with confidence through the crowded courtroom. She found she was anticipating this match. Gerrard might be good, but she planned to be better. She took a deep breath as she looked around the room. At least she hoped she would be.
Gripping her briefcase, she wove through the spectators, headed for the plaintiff's table. As always when intensely concentrating, she saw little other than the direct path in front of her. But that path ended quickly when an overpowering, distinctly male form blocked her way.
She looked up to see who had so rudely moved to obstruct the aisle, a caustic comment already forming, but it died away as she met twinkling green eyes. Coupled with a grinning mouth beneath a well-groomed mustache that indented charmingly in a face that made the most of hard planes and edges, it was a knockout combination. One that touched some forgotten chord before she nudged the thought aside.
One eyebrow rose as he made a slow appraisal from the top of her midnight-colored hair to the tips of her high-heeled kidskin pumps. And his expression made it clear he was pleased with the entire package.
She resisted the urge to respond in kind. Now was a time for business. Nothing else. Not even for the most attractive man she'd stumbled across in far longer than she wanted to count. She smiled to take the sting from her words. "One aisle per person. And I believe this one's mine."
He moved aside, allowing her to pass, but his gaze remained trained on her departing form. "The view just gets better."
Angling her head back, she saw the admiration painted on his features. At some other time she probably would have appreciated his casual good looks, the confidence that emanated from him as naturally as his cocky grin. But not now. Despite a bracing dose of courage, she was keyed-up about this case.
Sending the man a distracted smile, she slid into place and greeted her client. As she snapped open her briefcase, she again ignored the niggling feelings that persisted as she thought of the good-looking stranger. Carefully she lifted out her notes and a legal pad, making sure her exhibits were lined up in precise fashion.
Barbara checked her watch, noting that it was five minutes until court time. Judge Donald Herbert was punctual to a fault. Unfortunately her associate and harebrained friend Dani wasn't. If not for her legal brilliance, Barbara would have opted for someone else to sit this trial, but Dani, despite her faults, was the best.
With seconds remaining, Dani slid into the chair next to Barbara's, her winsome smile in place beneath a riot of strawberry curls and flushed cheeks. "Hi! Got the courtroom number mixed up. Thank God I beat Horrible Herbert."
Barbara restrained the desire to strangle Dani as they both rose at the judge's entrance. There was no room in this case for error and the thought of dueling with a high-powered litigator was making her more anxious than usual. Glancing at opposing counsel's table, Barbara's jaw nearly dropped as she saw the flirtatious stranger manning that very table.
Momentarily forgetting etiquette, she hissed into Dani's ear, "Who is that?"
Dani's gaze followed hers, her lips quirking into a satisfied grin. "That, my dear, is the Kenneth Gerrard."
Barbara withheld her reaction. Spared from meeting him before the trial, she hadn't any idea . Dani had done all the prediscovery work conducted in San Francisco and Gerrard had sent competent associates to the Salt Lake office, one of whom was sitting at the table with him now. Barbara's communications with Gerrard had been by mail or fax. Throat dry, she wondered how she'd stand being seated opposite the Armani-clad Adonis for the duration of the trial.
Suddenly aware of Dani digging a sharp elbow into her side, Barbara dragged her gaze away from Kenneth Gerrard and stared up at the judge.
"Miss Callister," the judge repeated with exaggerated patience. "If I can have your attention, we will begin jury selection now."
"Yes, sir," she mumbled, acutely embarrassed by her unprofessional behavior.
"He's a hunk," Dani whispered, "but not worth blowing the case over."
Barbara straightened up and fiddled with the legal pad, positioning it carefully so as not to let her gaze wander. Taking notes on the first prospective juror, she found her usually unshakable concentration fading as her eyes slid to the defendant's table. There was something about Kenneth Gerrard, something she couldn't put her finger on .
"Miss Callister, are we keeping you from something else?" the judge questioned, pushing his half glasses down his nose, the skin on his bald head shining beneath the unforgiving courtroom lights.
Barbara flushed. "No, sir. That is I'm ready to question the juror."
"That's fine, but Mr. Gerrard has already struck him. Call the next name on your list."
Dani's eyes were wide with concern, and Barbara called on the poise that she'd cultivated over fifteen years. For the next few hours, furious with herself, she gave new definition to concentration. She wasn't a hormonal teenager, easily thrown by an attractive man no matter how handsome.
When the judge adjourned the proceedings for the day, Barbara gathered her papers with a vengeance. She planned to spend the night going over the notes she and Dani had made, making sure she hadn't missed anything during her ridiculous daydreaming.
"Miss Callister." Kenneth Gerrard's smooth voice glided over her.
Her spine automatically stiffened. "I think it's a bit late for introductions."
His smile was as smooth as his voice. "You didn't seem interested earlier."
"And I'm not interested now," she retorted, embarrassed by her behavior and mortified that he hadn't clarified his identity.
"Perhaps we should have all worn ID tags," he suggested, that smile still lurking, just waiting to turn up his delicious-looking lips.
She wanted to chuckle at the ridiculousness of the suggestion, the frank smile that said he knew she was peeved. But she still felt too embarrassed to appreciate his levity. One brush with blowing the case was enough. She snapped her briefcase shut dismissively. "And perhaps you could have remembered your manners earlier."
"Then let me make it up to you now. How about a drink?"
Shock overrode caution. From his reputation she hadn't expected him to be the type to break the rules. "I don't think so. I have my client's interests to consider."
His brow winged upward again. "I doubt either of our clients would mind your pointing me in the direction of a drink. I promise not to photograph everything in your attaché case."
Her gaze slid downward toward her briefcase before she snapped her eyes back up to meet his, caught again by something she saw there. Her gaze lingered on the sculpted waves of chestnut hair, then drifted over his handsome features, yet she steeled herself to sound uninterested. "Funny. But I'll have to pass." Not allowing herself to say more, she pivoted and exited the courtroom.
"A pity," he muttered to no one in particular. The twinkle in his eyes faded along with his grin, replaced by longing and a shred of pain he'd never quite conquered. Some lark. He should have had his head examined for thinking he could simply look and then walk away. A yawning emptiness reminded him that it was impossible to let go of some things.
Things like Barbara Callister.
But she had left before seeing the conflicting emotions covering his face, the disappointment coupled with something far deeper. Something he'd never quite been able to forget.
Lingering tendrils of sunshine greeted Barbara and she breathed in deeply, relieved to be outside. Normally relief was a rare sensation. Usually she felt a letdown when leaving the courthouse, preferring the battle to the intermissions. Until lately
"Barb, wait up." Dani danced down the steps and into unison with Barbara's long-legged stride. "We still on for tonight?"
"Sure." Now that she was outside the courtroom she could relax. Flashing Dani a wide grin, Barbara eased her killer pace. "I'm sorry. Just had a lot on my mind."
"Yeah, like that yummy Kenneth Gerrard."
Barbara mumbled something unintelligible, but distinctly unflattering.
"Maybe good looks are a requirement to get hired at Barrett and Barrett. Did you see how cute his associate is?" Dani's voice turned dreamy. "Brian Thomas. Even his name sounds cute. Maybe not as overpowering as Gerrard, but definitely high on the appeal scale."
Barbara had barely noticed the other man. Something about Kenneth Gerrard overwhelmed anyone else. "If you say so. But then you're obsessed," she teased. "I have to peel you off the screen every time there's a rerun of a Costner movie."
Dani remained unperturbed. "Let's go to my place, order pizza, get crazy, attack some Ha¨ agen-Dazs or even the pizza guy if he's cute."
Barbara felt the laughter float upward. It was the effect Dani always had on her. "Think we can fit some work into the evening?"
"Sure." Her tone turned to one of mock reproof. "Even though I'm not the one mooning over opposing counsel instead of paying attention."
"Which is something we're going to talk about." Barbara pinned Dani with a knowing gaze. "Why were you holding out about Gerrard?"
Dani smiled mischievously. "I wondered how long it was going to take you to nail me on that."
Barbara lifted one eyebrow. "Not long, my friend. And you've got a whole pizza, not to mention the delivery guy, to come clean."
An empty pizza carton and a demolished quart of Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream littered the already cluttered table in Dani's dining room.
Barbara wrinkled her nose as she pushed aside a pile of dog-eared magazines and a coffee-stained collection of letters and junk mail. "Doesn't this uh stuff ever bother you?"
Dani shrugged. "Not everybody likes a sterile environment. You could do with some loosening up yourself, kid."
Instead of a witty retort, Barbara stared out the wall-size windows at the lights of the valley twinkling below. "Yeah, I know."
Dani screwed her face into a puzzled question mark. "Excuse me. Has someone kidnapped the real Barbara Callister and left her winsome clone?" Her snapping cinnamon eyes narrowed. "Invasion of the body snatchers. It had to happen."
Barbara threw a colorful, if somewhat ragged, pillow at her.
"What gives, Barb?" Dani's face cleared as her tone grew knowing. "Could it be that Barbie has finally met her Ken? In the form of the gorgeous Kenneth Gerrard?"
"Don't be ridiculous. That's not what he's looking for." His type wasn't looking for anything that permanent. Barbara tossed the notes on the table, rising to pad to the window. "It's just that "
"What?" Dani prompted.
"Do you ever wonder? I mean about something in your past. Something that if you could change, it might mean your life would have been completely different." Barbara fingered the drapery cord as she stared into the darkness, thinking of a long-ago night.
"I take it this involves another person," Dani guessed correctly as she sipped a diet Coke.
Barbara shifted restlessly. "I know my career's on track. I'm facing the greatest case ever. It's just that something's missing ."
"Like a husband, maybe a few kids?" Dani suggested practically.
Barbara wanted to protest, but Dani had struck the mark with disturbing accuracy. Her voice softened reflectively. "I was going to get married once."
Dani sat up, her interest heightened. "And?"
"I was nineteen." Barbara laughed softly. "God, that sounds like a lifetime ago. His name was Billy Duncan. I've never loved anyone so much. We planned to get married."
"We had a stupid fight. He wanted to elope. I worried about losing my scholarship. I wouldn't have had enough money to keep attending Rice University, but he didn't understand since his family footed all the bills for him. And I knew my family would want me to have a formal wedding"
"All the practicalities. That's the Barb we know and love," Dani filled in. "You couldn't make up?"
"We never got the chance. He said elope or nothing. I guess he meant it."
"You didn't try to see him again?"
Barbara nodded, seeing the lights of the city spread out beneath her like fairy dust. "Actually I did. He stood me up the next day. I thought he was sore and would get over it. I let him stew for a few days, then went looking for him." Barbara met Dani's face, smiling sadly. "He'd disappeared and no one in his frat house knew where he'd gone."
"That's kind of strange, don't you think?"
"Not as strange as finding out his entire family had moved, which in retrospect is probably why he was pushing so hard to elope that night. I kept hoping he'd call or write. But he didn't."
"And now you're wondering what would have happened if you'd thrown caution to the wind and eloped with him?"
Barbara hesitated, then nodded. "There's never been anyone else like him." A wistful look crossed her face. "He could always make me laugh. Being the class clown will do that, I suppose, but he was so on fire for life. It was magic just being with him."

Why take part?
If you already commute on two wheels, great
By taking part in National Ride to Work Week you'll encourage others to Get On too. We'll also remind other road users that we all share our daily journey to work, and it's more pleasant if we all look out for one another. And policymakers will see what a vital part of the transport mix motorcyclists are.
Share the fun
It's a great chance to get a friend into riding. Give them a lift into work on your motorbike or scooter.
If you have a scooter or motorbike but don't usually use it to go to work
this is your chance to find out just how much time and hassle you could save, and how good it feels to be doing your bit to reduce congestion instead of adding to it. If you start riding to work just one day a week, over the year you'll save lots of time and cash. If everyone did the same thing, the roads would be that bit clearer.
If you are a new rider
If you're a new rider and want to start riding more regularly, this is a great opportunity. Just 'like' us on Facebook and leave a message on our wall and we'll try to put you in touch with a more experienced rider who could be your riding buddy on the day.
Not riding yet, but think it's a great idea?

A Parable of Power
English students all over owe Seamus Heaney a great debt — and if you are one, you can thank him on the show today. His 2000 translation of the epic poem Beowulf changed an oblique and sometimes frustrating literary artifact into a living, heaving adventure story. (The emphasis in the new film of the epic is much less on living than on heaving.) The 1995 Nobel Laureate filled his translation with suspense and alliteration and emotion, all while maintaining what Heaney calls "the attractively direct" style of the original poem. It's impossible to read without wanting to murmur the words out loud, partly because there are so many brilliantly quotable moments, and partly because it scans so beautifully. (What's better than one poet? Two.) Heaney and the Beowulf poet really understand power, though sadly, many of the lessons they teach are not as popular as the myriad lessons on the poem itself. The poem begins, "Behavior that's admired is the path to power among people everywhere." One certainly wishes it were so.

Fascinating subject. I'm particularly interested in the glimpse of the natural history of post glacial northern Europe as revealed indirectly in the story.
I always remember the concept of kennings, how the poet of beowulf extended the language by creating very descriptive new nouns for familiar things. Like calling blood, battle-sweat or death the sleep of the sword. There were valuable lessons to would-be modern poets left even back then.
Why does beowulf stand out among other stories? It is one of the top ten most read books of all time
Jen, Have you read Beowulf? It is a magnificent story, timeless in so many ways, and told with such splendor by Mr. Heaney. If you read a different translation, you owe ot to yourself and the story to read Mr. Heaney's version.

"Schloss Schwarzenberg" Scheinfeld Things to Do Tip by Nemorino
Scheinfeld Things to Do: 3 reviews and 12 photos
This castle on a hill overlooking the town was the traditional residence of the von Schwarzenberg family, or at least whatever branch of the family happened to be the rulers of Scheinfeld at any particular time.
Parts of the castle now house a private school, which was being renovated when I visited in 2011. The rest of the castle is also in need of renovation, as can be seen in some of my photos which show visible signs of damage due to dampness in some of the walls.
I was there on a Sunday morning but arrived several hours too early for the weekly guided tour, which is offered on Sunday afternoons at 2 pm from Easter to October.
This is only one of a dozen or so castles and palaces that the Schwarzenberg family used to own in Germany, Austria and Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic.
The current head of the family, Prince Karel VII of Schwarzenberg, is now (as of 2012) the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic.
Update: He was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2007 to 2009 (originally nominated by the Green Party) and again from 2010 to 2013. He was a candidate for President of the Czech Republic in 2013 but lost in a runoff election to Milo? Zeman.
