Does anyone have any information on how the rejection by the patent office has affected litigation? I understand that courts often stay litigation when the patent office issues a rejection like this. Is there a stay?
So it looks like the infringement litigation is stayed pending a decision in the ITC investigation. What I do not see is whether the ITC investigation is also stayed pending the reexamination of the patent by the USPTO. Anyone know? Have the defendants asked for a stay? Did they get one?

The enduring myth of Rudolf HessBreaking News
On Wednesday 20 July 2011 - the anniversary of the attempt on Hitler's life in 1944 - the public was informed that the grave of Rudolf Hess, the "Fuehrer's deputy", had been razed before daybreak.
Beyond the fascinating coincidence in the date - there will surely be further speculation on this - the decision by Hess's heirs was surprising.
They wanted to commit his mortal remains to the waves and organise a funeral at sea for a man whose mystique and influence on the far-right was strongly linked to the existence of his grave in the Bavarian village of Wunsiedel.
He was already one the most interesting figures in post-war Germany, being the only high-ranking Nazi serving a life sentence imposed by the Nuremberg war-crimes court - Albert Speer, for instance, was released in 1966....

Released: Feb 01st, 2000
Running Time: 85
Directors: Peter O'Brian, Casey (III)
Company: Hollywood Sales
Cast: Stonie, Paul Carrigan, Rob Steele, Danny Pachecco, Steve Shannon, Lucky Spears, Patrick Ives, Lucas James
Critical Rating: A
Genre: Gay and Bi
Stock accordingly.
How many videos are the brothers O'Brian going to make before they get a clue about lighting and sound levels? Even the hottest guys in this cast look washed out, and any dialogue pertinent to the story is completely inaudible, thanks to the music. Viewers may put up with bad drag and stupid puns passing for humor, but shouldn't the production at least be competent? Unfortunately, real daytime soaps are a lot hotter than this.

I'm using ZeeBusiness on my site here: http://www.colvinsadc.com
There is a "social media" widget included that puts up a facebook button for the theme. I'd like to change the awkward wording of "Check Us Out Facebook" to something more readable.
Can anyone suggest where to find and change the standard wording for this in ZeeBusiness?
Thank you in advance.

These are my opinions on the best 100 books. This list was hard to write because there are so many wonderful books. I also had a hard time putting them in an order. I kept flipflopping them. I enjoy reading and loved all of these books. Maybe I need to pu t the next 100 on a list because there are so many wonderful books that are not mentioned on this list.e

Have you read all these? Is this list your opinion?

Yes, I have read all of these books. I am a reading teacher and love to read. I am a sucker for the classics. These are my opinions. c

I'm so glad to hear that. Your list looks very much like the one my 9th grade Honors English teacher gave us, except for the more recent titles. I still need to read some of them.
- Login to post comments
Your comment made me laugh. I taught 9th and 10th grade literature before I became a reading specialist. Now, I work with middle school students that are below grade level in reading. At least you know that I love what I do. :o)
- Login to post comments
Brilliant list. You do read a lot. Also good to see Steinbeck up there. Ever tried German literature or Ephraim Kishon (I know I'm promoting him everywhere I can, but he's really worth to be read)?
- Login to post comments
Thank you. I love Steinbeck too. I think he is brilliant. I will add Kishon to the list of authors that I want to read. Which is his best book? h
- Login to post comments
Kishon has written some novels, but I'd rather recommend his satires. Sharp, but so lovely. And it's not every day that you get sth. to read by an Israeli writer, eh?

Let me also chime in with the "great list" sentiment!
Interesting Shakespeare choices. If this list is rank ordered, you end up with:
Julius Caesar
Romeo & Juliet
...and no other plays cracking your top 100. You left off my personal favorites, all the comedies, and I don't think I know anybody else that picks Julius Caesar as their favorite, but none of that detracts from the list. Just noticin' is all.
- Login to post comments
Thank you. I think that Julius Caesar has always been my favorite because it was the first Shakespearean play that I read. I always liked the Greek tragedies.
- Login to post comments
Yes, JC ahead of HPD is an 'interesting' choice. If you had placed MacB ahead of HPD I could have seen where you were coming from; WS does some truly awesome things with language in MacB, his turns of phrase there are unlike anything else I've ever read by any author, including WS himself.

All 3 are wonderful pieces of literature. It was hard to rank them for me. I love Shakespeare. He has a way of using irony that is incredible. I like how he uses symbols, imagery, adn foreshadowing. I

66. Did Joseph Conrad really write War of the Worlds? Lord Jim or perhaps Nostromo?
For me, Moby Dick is way too far down the list. That is one [insert your best adjective here] piece of writing.
The Stand among the 100 best books? Oh well, the test of time will tell :-)
- Login to post comments
You must have read the list wrong, H.G. Wells wrote War of the Worlds. I love H.G. Wells.
I think that The Stand is wonderfully written. He uses wonerful imagery and symbolism. He delves into the characters, so you can really get to understand them and their viewpoints. H
- Login to post comments
I love that you love H.G.Wells; his Complete Short Stories would go on my list of 100 best books. In fact I adopted his name-amongst-friends as my username.
I think the opening paragraph of WOTWs is close to being the best in all science fiction (and I can make that claim because I have read a *lot* of science fiction).
I prefer IT to The Stand, both for the childhood to adulthood characterizations and the very clever plot structure.
- Login to post comments
It is one of my favorites too. It would probably be in my top 200. When you are doing a list of only 100 books, you can't get every book you love on that list. I like the symbolism in the stand and the character development.
H. G. Wells is one of all time favorite authors. He was so ahead of his time.

There was a mistake on that #66 and I corrected it. War of the Worlds is actually higher up in the list where it should be. W

#65: I think you'll find that Ethan Frome was written by Edith Wharton. And whoever wrote it, it sure ain't better than War and Peace

How can you not have Gravity's Rainbow on there? "A Wrinkle in Time" is really better than Pynchon?
- Login to post comments
Both Gravity's Rainbow and Pynchon are wondrful books. I ran out of room on my list of 100. I need to put out a list of 200. I just have always loved A Wrinkle in Time....it is a book that catches my imagination and I get involved in it.

I'm not really sure how to feel about Heart of Darkness. Even though it has got some memorable quotes and characters, the whole story was just too lame for me.
Also respect for having read War and Peace. I failed several times.
- Login to post comments
I love Heart of Darkness for the character analysis and dialog. War in Peace is a hard read, but a good book if you get into it. I really enjoyed it, bu I am an English teacher. The hard readability makes it go a little lower on the list, but it still deserves to be in the top 1pp.
- Login to post comments
Great list. I'm glad to Homer's Odyssey so high. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton is also a great favourite of mine. I'm amazed that you include nothing by Thomas Hardy. Have you read Jude The Obscue or Tess of the Durbervilles?
- Login to post comments
Hardy as is a wonderful author as well. I ran out of space in the top 100. The Obsue will be in my list of top 200. I have not read Tess of the Durberville yet, but it is on my list for books that I want to read.
- Login to post comments
Great list! But no Dostoyevsky? Brother's Karamozov is one of my all time favorites. I am glad to see E.M. Forster on your list. He's another of my favorites who often seems to be overlooked.

the last boss is funny. Nice riddles. Simple but nice. And the butterflies :) Didnt udnerstood what a crossbow has to do with a toast. Some voice for the intro would be nice. And more action sounds for everything.
Thanks for your response, we tried to do the voice acting, but we have a pretty bad mic, which cracks and stuff as a result to its low quality, but maybe next time!
- Reza
So plain.. Its good :D
I hope it makes front page :P
Hey! Thanks!
- Reza
I don't know what to say...this game is just fun! It reminds me of Streets of Rage: Toast Edition.
Hahahaha, we were actually thinking of calling it that!
I'm really glad you liked it, and remember to check back soon for the update.
A good game
This is definitely not a bad game at all. I like the graphics throughout, simple but cute. I could have hoped for better weaponry than a chainsaw and a crossbow, but for something short and silly, it was good. I hope the boss turns out alright.
Thanks for the support! We hope the boss programming goes smoothly as well :)
- Reza
Toast's a bit dry...
Loved it! The whole game is very stylish, but where are the sound effects? Everything feels a bit muted without them.
Thanks,I'm glad you liked it. We are working on putting together sounds for the update right now, we realize now how much this adds to the game so expect the update soon.
Thanks again

Lawmakers Bash Obama's Delusional Syria Policy
In a recent post I noted Turkey Plans Military Intervention in Syria, Bans YouTube for Leaked Reporting. As a followup, please see Outrageous but Highly Believable Rumor Involving Syria, Turkey, Kerry.
Meanwhile, back in the US Lawmakers Bash Obama's "Delusional" Syria Policy.
U.S. lawmakers lashed out at the Obama administration's handling of Syria's civil war on Wednesday, demanding a stronger American response to the conflict and better communication from the White House about its plans.
Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, expressed deep frustration after Anne Patterson, the assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, declined to answer a question about strategy in a public setting.
"I have a problem with a generic answer to a generic question that I can't believe is classified," Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, said during a committee hearing.
Members of the Foreign Relations panel in particular are frustrated by the administration's failure to do more in Syria, where 140,000 people have been killed, millions have become refugees and thousands of foreign militant fighters have been trained as rebels have fought to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
Arizona Republican John McCain, a frequent critic of Obama's foreign policy, called U.S. Syria policy "a colossal failure."

Where I hang out: Laying on my comfy pillow on the bow window. This is the bestest place to watch birdies and if the weather is yucky you'll find me curled up with my dog brother.
My favorite grubs: Avoderm
My pet peeves: I really don't have any...I'm a very timid little man.
What I love about my owners: Love doesn't describe the feelings she has for me. I'm her baby and she's the best meowmie in the world.
My cat hobbies: Well, when I want to go outside on my harness, I want to go outside and I won't take no for an answer!

UK SUSE Linux User Group (UK SLUG) Founded
The UK SUSE Linux User Group (UK SLUG) the UK forum for Users of SUSE Linux will be formally launched at the next UK Groupware User Group conference October 25 at the Burlington Hotel, Birmingham.
The group has been formed to offer users of SUSE Linux to network on a national basis and share other information with other users and UK Vendors. Initially, the group will run alongside the well established Groupware User Group events that take place quarterly, at locations across the UK including Novell UK offices in Bracknell, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh etc.
The UK SLUG web site is already released and can be found at http://www.ukslug.org.uk. It provides latest SUSE news, forthcoming events, links to items of interest for the SUSE user community, polls, snippets and information for SUSE users or administrators.
"We believe the UK SUSE community can organise and host successful events, that the SUSE product and it's many add-ons and complementary products are a vital and integral part of so many of our organisations and that we are passionate about the need for a platform to share our successes and our frustrations and collectively bring greater clarity for all SUSE users.", says Julie Grant on behalf of UK SLUG.

Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI)
The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of NOAA.
|Click to enlarge
Outline for MEI webpage (updated on July 3rd, 2016)
This webpage consists of seven main parts, three of which are updated every month:
1. A short description of the Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI);
2. Historic La Niña events since 1950;
3. Historic El Niño events since 1950;
4. UPDATED MEI loading maps for the latest season;
5. UPDATED MEI anomaly maps for the latest season;
6. UPDATED Discussion of recent conditions;
7. Publications and MEI data access.
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon to cause global climate variability on interannual time scales. Here we attempt to monitor ENSO by basing the Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) on the six main observed variables over the tropical Pacific. These six variables are: sea-level pressure (P), zonal (U) and meridional (V) components of the surface wind, sea surface temperature (S), surface air temperature (A), and total cloudiness fraction of the sky (C). These observations have been collected and published in ICOADS for many years. The MEI is computed separately for each of twelve sliding bi-monthly seasons (Dec/Jan, Jan/Feb,..., Nov/Dec). After spatially filtering the individual fields into clusters (Wolter, 1987), the MEI is calculated as the first unrotated Principal Component (PC) of all six observed fields combined. This is accomplished by normalizing the total variance of each field first, and then performing the extraction of the first PC on the co-variance matrix of the combined fields (Wolter and Timlin, 1993). In order to keep the MEI comparable, all seasonal values are standardized with respect to each season and to the 1950-93 reference period.
IMPORTANT CHANGE: The MEI used to be updated every month during the first week of the following month based on near-real time marine ship and buoy observations (courtesy of Diane Stokes at NCEP). However, this product has been discontinued as of March 2011 (ICOADS-compatible 2-degree monthly statistics). Instead, the MEI is now being updated using ICOADS throughout its record. The main change from the previous MEI is the replacement of 'standard' trimming limits with 'enhanced' trimming limits for the period from 1994 through the current update. This leads to slightly higher MEI values for recent El Niño events (especially 1997-98 where the increase reaches up to 0.235 standard deviations), and slightly lower values for La Niña events (up to -.173 during 1995-96). The differences between old and new MEI are biggest in the 1990s when the fraction of time-delayed ship data that did not enter the real-time data bank was higher than in more recent years. Nevertheless, the linear correlation between old and new MEI for 1994 through 2010 is +0.998, confirming the robustness and stability of the MEI vis-a-vis input data changes. Caution should be exercised when interpreting the MEI on a month-to-month basis, since the MEI has been developed mainly for research purposes. Negative values of the MEI represent the cold ENSO phase, a.k.a.La Niña, while positive MEI values represent the warm ENSO phase (El Niño).
IMPORTANT ADDITION: For those interested in MEI values before 1950, a 'sister' website has now been created that presents a simplified MEI.ext index that extends the MEI record back to 1871, based on Hadley Centre sea-level pressure and sea surface temperatures, but combined in a similar fashion as the current MEI. Our MEI.ext paper that looks at the full 135 year ENSO record between 1871 and 2005 is available online at the International Journal of Climatology (Wolter and Timlin, 2011).
Historic La Niña events since 1950
|Click to enlarge
How does the 2010-12 La Niña event compare against the six previous biggest La Niña events since 1949? This figure includes only strong events (with at least three bimonthly rankings in the top six), after replacing the slightly weaker 2007-09 event with 2010-12 (rankings are listed here). La Niña events have lasted up to and over three years since 1949, in fact, they do tend to last longer on average than El Niño events. The longest two events included here lasted through most of 1954-56 and 1973-75. The longest event NOT included here occurred in 1999-2001 which reached the 'strong' threshold (top six rankings) just once. Click on the "Discussion" button below to find a comparison of recent El Niño conditions with historic strong El Niño events.
Historic El Niño events since 1950
|Click to enlarge
How does the 2009-10 El Niño event compare against the seven previous biggest El Niño events since 1950? This figure includes only strong events (with at least three bimonthly rankings in the top six), with the exception of the 2009-10 event that reached the top six ranking twice. Compared to the previous version of this figure, 1997-98 now reaches very similar peak values to the 1982-83 event, just above the +3.0 sigma threshold. Click on the "Discussion" button below to find a comparison of recent El Niño conditions with the same seven historic El Niño events. Once the 2015-16 event is over, the comparison figure with 2015-16 will replace the current one with 2009-10.
MEI loading maps for the latest season
|Click to enlarge
The six loading fields show the correlations between the local anomalies of each field and the MEI time series. Land areas as well as the Atlantic are excluded and flagged in green, while typically noisy regions with no coherent structures and/or lack of data are shown in grey. Each field is denoted by a single capitalized letter and the explained variance for the same field in the Australian corner.
The sea level pressure (P) loadings show the familiar signature of the Southern Oscillation: high pressure anomalies in the west and low pressure anomalies in the east correspond to positive MEI values, or El Niño-like conditions. Consistent with P, U has moderate positive loadings centered along the Equator, corresponding to westerly anomalies near the dateline. Moderate negative loadings over Indonesia and northeast over the Maritime Continent as well as off the Colombian coast indicate easterly anomalies during El Niño at this time of year. The meridional wind field (V) features moderate negative loadings north of the Equator in the central and eastern Pacific basin, denoting the southward shift of the ITCZ so common during El Niño-like conditions, juxtaposed with moderate positive loadings northeast of Australia (southerly anomalies during El Niño).
Both sea (S) and air (A) surface temperature fields exhibit the typical ENSO signature of a wedge of positive loadings stretching from the Central and South American coast to east of the dateline, or warm anomalies during an El Niño event. At the same time, total cloudiness (C) tends to be increased over the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, as opposed to decreased cloudiness east of Hawai'i and northeast of Galapagos.
The MEI now just stands for 17.6% of the explained variance of all six fields in the tropical Pacific from 30N to 30S, right at its annual minimum of importance. Eighteen years ago, right after the MEI was introduced to the internet, the explained variance for May-June 1950-1998 amounted to 21.0%. This drop-off by more than 3% reflects the diminished coherence and importance of ENSO events in much of the recent 18 years. The loading patterns shown here resemble the seasonal composite anomaly fields of Year 0 in Rasmusson and Carpenter (1982).
MEI anomaly maps for the latest season
|Click to enlarge
With the MEI still hanging on to El Niño conditions, one can still find several key anomalies in the MEI component fields that exceed or equal one standard deviation, or one sigma (compare to loadings figure). All but one of them flags El Niño rather than La Niña conditions.
Significant positive anomalies (coinciding with high positive loadings) indicate high sea level pressure anomalies (P) from the Maritime Continent to Australia, high sea surface (S) and air temperatures (A) anomalies south of the Equator in the tropical eastern Pacific, and enhanced cloudiness (C) over the central equatorial Pacific. Significant negative anomalies (coinciding with high negative loadings) flag decreased cloudiness (C) east of Hawai'i and northeast of Galapagos. Compared to last month, most anomalies have weakened. Only four fields (P,S,A,C) are still showing key anomalies in excess of one standard deviation, with only one of them (C) still at two sigma or more.
On the other hand, decreased cloudiness (C) over the southeastern tropical Pacific, while small in areal coverage, is more consistent with La Niña than El Niño.
Go to the discussion below for more information on the current situation.
If you prefer to look at anomaly maps without the clustering filter (which is most limiting for the cloudiness field), check out the climate products in our map room.
Discussion and comparison of recent conditions with historic El Niño conditions
|Click to enlarge
In the context of strong El Niño conditions since March-April 2015, this section features a comparison figure with the classic set of strong El Niño events during the MEI period of record.
Compared to last month, the updated (May-June) MEI has dropped to +1.03 (down by 0.67 since last month), still a moderate El Niño ranking. The recent nine-month run in the Top-3 from May-June 2015 through January-February 2016 is tied with 1982-83 for its duration, while 1997-98 kept this level going for a full 12 months. No other El Niño since 1950 even exceeded three months at that level. The August-September 2015 MEI of +2.53 represents the peak of the 2015-16 event, and was exceeded only during the 1982-83 and 1997-98 events. The overall evolution of the 2015-16 El Niño continues to be most similar to 1997-98, as monitored by the MEI.
Looking at the nearest 12 rankings (+6/-6) in this season AND requiring that the MEI has dropped by at least 0.5 in the previous three months gives us exactly one 'analogue': 1998, which quickly transitioned to La Niña a few months later. All other 11 nearest-ranked cases remained either El Niño or ended up ENSO-neutral by the end of the calendar year. While the 2015-16 El Niño is clearly weakening fast, an ENSO-neutral outcome is still not completely off the table during the remainder of 2016.
Positive SST anomalies cover much of the off-equatorial tropical Pacific, but cold anomalies are present right along the Equator east of 160W, as seen in the latest weekly SST map. This remains one of the more clear-cut cases where the bimonthly assessment in the MEI sense cannot keep up with the faster changes underway now (if they are to continue).
For an alternate interpretation of the current situation, I recommend reading the NOAA ENSO Advisory which represents the official and most recent Climate Prediction Center opinion on this subject. In its latest update (9 June 2016), El Niño conditions were considered replaced by ENSO-neutral conditions as of the end of May, and a "La Niña" watch was hoisted for boreal fall and winter 2016-17 with 75% odds. This is consistent with most forecast models, although only a few of them reach the moderate La Niña threshold (-1.0C) for Niñ 3.4 SST anomalies.
There are a number of ENSO indices that are kept up-to-date on the web. Several of these are tracked at the NCEP website that is usually updated around the same time as the MEI, but not in time for this go-around. Unless otherwise noted, I refer to the OISSTv2 anomalies in this discussion. Starting in October 2014, Niño region 3.4 first hovered around +0.5C, but rose steadily from April 2015 onwards, reaching +1.3C in June, 2.1C in August, and peaking at 2.95C in November. It has dropped steadily since then, to +2.8C in December, +2.6C in January, +2.4C in February, accelerating downward in March with +1.7C, reaching +1.1C in April, and dropping below +0.5C in May with +0.3C. The November 2015 value appears to be the highest on record for any month since 1982, exceeding December 1997 (2.7C) and January 1983 (2.8C). The ERSST4 version kept the November Niño 3.4 anomaly quite a bit lower (+2.37C), also a new record, if only by 0.05C. It dropped to +1.1 in April, catching up with the OI SST, but is now a bit higher than OI SST in May with +0.6C. For comparison, Niño 3 OI SST crested at +2.9C in November and December, dropped slowly to +2.6C in January, followed by a rapid decline all the way to +0.0C in May. Note that this decline still allowed for the full SST to peak at +28.7C in March in this region, the highest temperature for this event. In any case, the Niño 3 anomalies were quite a bit lower than what was recorded in December 1997 or January 1983 (by 0.7C and 0.4C, respectively). Based on Niño 3.4 SST, the current event appears to have been more powerful at its peak than based on the MEI (or Niño 3 SST).
For extended Tahiti-Darwin SOI data back to 1876, and timely monthly updates, check the Australian Bureau of Meteorology website. This index has often been out of sync with other ENSO indices in the last decade, including a jump to +10 (+1 sigma) in April 2010 that was ahead of any other ENSO index in announcing La Niña conditions. In 2015, its value varied from +1 in February (neutral ENSO conditions) down to -11 in March, up again to -4 in April, and back down below -10 from May through October, reaching -20 both in August and October. The running five-month average peaked in June-October 2015 (-16.5), which was the lowest since early 1998. However, the November and December 2015 SOI weakened considerably (-5 and -9), only to rebound back to -20 in January and February, somewhat akin to what happened from late 1997 into early 1998. In March 2016, it weakened to -5, followed by -22 in April, and back above 0 in both May (+3) and June 2016 (+6) for the first time for two months since April-May 2014.
The next update may be as late as mid-August 2016 - data ingest via ICOADS is going through a transition right now, even though I was able to get this one in unexpectedly early. El Niño conditions in the MEI sense are waning fast, but lingering El Niño impacts may be supported by positive PDO conditions that have endured for more than two years, reaching record levels from December 2014 through February 2015, and again from March 2016 (tied with 1941) through May 2016. Daily updates of the ENSO status can be found at the TAO/TRITON website, confirming the recent emergence of eqautorial cold anomalies east of 130W, but a lack of easterly trade wind anomalies (so far).

Placed September 5, 2002
by BeMa
Meadowlark gardens is a hidden oasis located between Route 7 and Route 123 off of Beulah Road, south of Route 7 and the Dulles Access Road in Vienna, VA. There is a nominal admission fee for children 7+ and adults April 1 through October 31.
Meadowlark Gardens is the home of an enormous array of plants and small critters. All are welcome in the park except for deer which eat all the plants. A tall wire fence surrounds the park to keep them at bay. But -- one has gotten inside the gardens and is hiding in the woods -- it is up to you to find it!
Park in the lot and enter into the visitor's center. There are all sorts of little exhibits and activities inside. You can get a trail map and other information at the front desk.
Proceed through the visitor's center and out the back door to the right. Pass by the demonstration garden and straight down the paved path down the hill. Bear left at all intersections. The view of the lakes and the geyser is beautiful. Pass the Phillips bench on the left and the geyser on the right. Take a right onto the stone path. Cross the wooden bridge and go over both sets of stepping stones. There are often lots of polliwogs around the rocks and ducks and geese on the pond (beware of the geese during nesting season -- they get a little territorial and they leave lots of droppings).
Take a right onto the paved path. Bear to the left on this path past birdhouse 14. To the right is a pier and a gazebo. It is a great place to look for catfish. Most are pretty small, but, earlier this year we saw at least two monster ones which jumped clear out of the water and back again!
Continue on the paved path on a straightish/leftward course. The path turns into a zigzagging boardwalk (lots more minnows here). Circle the lake by taking a right onto the grass trail. Admire the turtles sunning on the rocks in the middle of the lake. This is also a favorite take off and landing site for the geese and ducks.
The grass path will end at a field. Cross over the field to the right of birdfeeder 11. Hop back on a paved path which runs between the Weiss bench on the left and the lake to the right. Proceed down the path and onto the mulch Hosta Gardens path. Cross over the bridge on the right and take the little mulch path on the right to the paved path heading uphill. Take a left and a quick right and you will spy the remains of a stone building. Cross the bridge on your left passing the little stone house. Look for the seahorse fountain which is ahead in a grass clearing. Face the seahorses and turn to the right. Take 6 giant steps and look in the woods to your left. About two giant steps into the woods you will see a skinny tree to the left of a fat tree. The letterbox is hidden under sticks behind the fat tree!
P.S. for a quicker way back to the visitor's center, re-cross the bridge and head across the grass uphill.
Please let us know how you enjoyed the gardens or if there are any problems with the box. We can be reached at email@example.com. Thanks!

Nothing comes close in terms of the graphics & gameplay. Ryu Hayabusa is just one of the coolest game characters ever & I even found a wall-size poster of him (like the front cover) of him on eBay.
Pretty hard game, but only bit I was really frustrated with (every NJ player knows that throwing-the-tv-out-the-window feeling) was with the two worms. Didn't really have any problems with any of the other bosses...
It is a Challenging game so all I can suggest is Learn to Block.
Anyway, go out and buy it !! Definite system seller.

CHARLOTTESVILLE - The second-ranked Virginia women's soccer team reached the NCAA Round of 16 for the eighth consecutive season with a 6-1 second round win over Rutgers Friday night at Klöckner Stadium. It was a record-setting night for the Cavaliers (18-4-1), who posted six unanswered goals to come back after giving up an early goal to the Scarlet Knights (13-8-1).
Virginia will meet ACC rival Duke in the round of 16 on Sunday. Game time at Klöckner Stadium is 4 p.m.
Caroline Miller (Rockville, Md.) had two goals and an assist to lead the six-goal assault, setting Virginia's single-season goals and points records in the process. Danielle Colaprico (Freehold, N.J.) had a goal and two assists, while Makenzy Doniak (Chino Hills, Calif.) and Kaili Torres (Fleming Island, Fla.) each had a goal and an assist. Kate Norbo (Roanoke, Va.) added a goal as the Cavaliers had their highest scoring game of the season.
"We are happy to be moving on to the round of 16," said head coach Steve Swanson. "It was a good response to giving up an early goal. We stuck to the game plan, executed well and moved the ball well. We scored some nice goals tonight."
The Scarlet Knights came out strong and struck for the game's first goal in the eighth minute. A loose ball in the box fell to the feet of Jonelle Filigno and the Canadian Olympian made a move around the keeper and placed the ball into the net for her 15th goal of the season.
Virginia answered with three goals in a nine-minute span midway through the first half to turn the early deficit into a 3-1 lead, which was the margin at intermission.
The Cavaliers drew even in the 13th minute after Miller's through ball found the far-side run of Doniak, who poked the ball past the on-rushing keeper for her 10th goal of the season. It marks the third consecutive season Virginia has had two double-digit goal scorers.
Colaprico gave the Cavaliers the lead in the 20th minute with her fifth goal of the season. She stole a ball in the midfield, dribbled to the top of the box and fired in a shot inside the post.
Just 93 seconds later Virginia struck again to extend its lead to 3-1. Morgan Brian (St. Simons Island, Ga.) threaded a pass to Colaprico, who found Miller unmarked at the far post. Miller tapped in the pass to notch a goal for the seventh consecutive game, setting a new school record.
Miller struck again in the 63rd minute, posting her fifth multi-goal game of the season. Colaprico's pass set her up in the box and the ACC Offensive Player of the Year made a move before placing a shot inside the far post for her 19th goal of the season. Miller's 19 goals and 45 points are new school single-season records, eclipsing the 18-goal, 41-point season of Angela Hucles in 1997. Miller also moved into second place on Virginia's career goal list with 44 career tallies.
"I think we are playing our best soccer of the season right now," said Miller. "We are peaking at the right time. We are moving the ball well, creating a lot of chances and just playing well as a group. We have been playing with a lot of confidence over the past few games."
The goal barrage continued in the 77th minute as Doniak made a move to the end line and sent a cross to the middle of the box. Torres one-timed the cross off the crossbar, but the ball bounced down over the line before the Rutgers keeper could save it and Torres had her fifth goal of the season.
Norbo closed out the scoring in the 87th minute with her sixth goal of the season. Torres dribbled through the Scarlet Knight defense on the flank before finding Norbo wide open in the middle of the field. She fired a shot from 25 yards that was a line-drive just under the bar to make the final margin 6-1. It was the Cavaliers' 65th goal of the season, a new school record, topping the 62 goals scored by Virginia's 2004 ACC Championship squad.
"Our attack was the difference tonight," said Swanson. "We wanted to use the flank and wanted to switch the point of attack and we did both of those very well. Our ball movement and possession was key tonight because they are so good on counters. After that first goal, we were able to limit their opportunities because of what we were doing offensively."
The Cavaliers recorded a season-high number of shots, outshooting the Scarlet Knights 30-3 for the game, including 16-0 in the second half. Virginia also had an 8-1 corner kick advantage. Danielle DeLisle (Baltimore, Md.) didn't make a save in 90 minutes in goal for the Cavaliers, while Emmy Simpkins made eight saves at the other end for Rutgers.
The victory tied the school record for wins in a season, matching the 18 wins by the 1990 and 2005 editions of the Cavaliers.
Virginia will meet Duke in the round of 16 on Sunday. The Cavaliers won the regular season meeting between the teams 1-0 on Sept. 30 as Doniak scored in the final minutes. Virginia is unbeaten against Duke (7-0-2) in the regular season since 2004, but the Blue Devils have won both NCAA meetings during that span, in the 2004 second round and 2008 round 16 at Klöckner Stadium.
"You could put this game (Virginia-Duke) in the final and no one would be surprised," said Swanson. "Duke is a great team, we know them well and they know us well. It is going to be a competitive game. At this point, there are 16 teams left and whoever you draw is going to be a quality team. Hopefully we can keep getting the chances we have been generating lately."

Four tales of the primarchs, the Emperor's own sons and liege-lords of the Space Marines. From the Great Crusade to the end of the Heresy itself, what roles have they yet to play?ABOUT THE BOOK
Gathered within this anthology are four novellas focusing on some of the mightiest warriors and leaders that mankind has ever known Fulgrim, Lion El Jonson, Ferrus Manus and the twin primarchs Alpharius and Omegon, and the roles that they may have yet to play in a war which threatens to change the face of the Imperium forever.
Created in the Emperor's own image, the primarchs had long thought themselves to be princes of the universe and masters of their own destiny they led the Space Marine Legions in glorious conquest of the galaxy, and no enemy of the Imperium could stand against them. However, even amongst this legendary brotherhood, the seeds of dissent had been sown long before the treacherous Warmaster Horus declared his grand heresy.

Christie Opens the Spending Spigot
Governor's Budget Leaves Behind Lean Years on Strength of Revenue Projection
TRENTON—After two years of austere budgets, Gov. Chris Christie changed course Tuesday with a budget that restores education spending, pays down pension liabilities and cuts income taxes.
In all, Mr. Christie, a Republican, proposed $1.2 billion in additional spending in his $32.1 billion budget plan, a 3.7% increase, according to state documents. It would be the most expensive New Jersey budget in five years if passed in its entirety.
It's made possible by an optimistic revenue projection that allows Mr. Christie to recast the state's narrative—from a government on the fiscal precipice to one on the rebound after two years in office.
"Our previous tough choices have indeed made a difference," said Mr. Christie during a 40-minute speech to lawmakers in the Assembly chamber. "Today, it is time to put the New Jersey comeback into high gear."
Democrats who control the state Legislature here accused Mr. Christie of producing overly rosy revenue figures to justify restoring spending and cutting taxes just as he begins gearing up for a 2013 re-election campaign.
Though revenue was down $326 million from July to December, Mr. Christie's budget team predicted Tuesday that the state's coffers would swell by 7% in 2013, the product of job growth and lower unemployment.
"They play a lot of games with the numbers," said Senate President Steven Sweeney. "We've said for three years that he's underestimated the surplus to justify the means."
The Legislature has until July 1 to approve a balanced budget.
Mr. Christie became a rising Republican star for taking on public-employee unions and clamping down on spending since he took office in 2010. Last year, Mr. Christie used line-item vetoes to cut nearly $1 billion in spending on schools, health care and law enforcement. Democrats protested the cuts, but Mr. Christie said they were necessary to help improve the state's financial footing.
Now, projecting higher job growth and lower unemployment, the administration is looking to restore $213 million in state aid for public education and make a $1.1 billion pension contribution—as required by a state law passed in 2010. Mr. Christie contended the $8.8 billion in state aid he would give public schools is "the largest state appropriation for education in New Jersey history," and the pension contribution is the largest in state history.
"The tone of Trenton has changed," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. "The governor needs to sell the public that New Jersey has turned the corner."
The governor's office didn't respond to request for comment about the political implications of his budget.
Some observers noted Mr. Christie's budget actually called for more than $2.4 billion in new spending, because the enacted plan last year was $29.7 billion. Since, an additional $1.3 billlion was added to the budget in supplemental spending.
The biggest fight may be over Mr. Christie's call for a 10% across-the-board income tax cut. Mr. Christie has made the plan a central part of his goal to keep New Jersey competitive with other states, including New York and Connecticut, which recently increased personal income taxes.
If approved by the Legislature, the cut would be phased in over three years and cost $1.1 billion by 2016, according to the governor's estimates. Mr. Christie said Tuesday that he would veto any income tax increases, including Democrats' proposal to raise rates for the state's highest earners.
Democrats want some of the money Mr. Christie is setting aside for tax cuts to go to reducing property taxes, and they criticized Mr. Christie Tuesday for favoring the wealthy.
"This governor continues to reward millionaires," said Assembly Democratic Majority Leader Lou Greenwald. "He is continuing to persuade and try to appeal to a national audience."
The governor's proposed budget holds spending flat on property tax programs after accounting for fewer applications than originally expected, state Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff said.
A Rutgers-Eagleton Poll released Tuesday found a majority of registered voters support an income-tax cut, but even more—three-quarters—would opt for a property tax cut first.
Democrats will be under pressure from their base to not cave to the governor's demands as they were perceived to do during the last two budgets, said Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University. "The coming budget battle should be much rougher and more partisan than we have seen in the past," he said.
The budget includes modest cuts to a handful of departments. Democrats said they are waiting for a more detailed spending plan expected to be released by next week. Mr. Christie has criticized school funding formulas in the past, but administration officials said he wouldn't change the standards in this budget.
"The statutory formula hasn't been amended," Mr. Sidamon-Eristoff said. "Our expectation is the vast majority of district will receive a slight increase in overall school aid."

I've looked at all the plugins using the plugin editor to find the problem, yet I can't seem to narrow it down.
When I look at the source for my blog, I am finding this:

A couple of weeks ago, because of its location, I thought I had it narrowed down to a certain plugin. I've run Google searches on various parts of the code, but came up empty handed.
I think I've turned off every plugin -- one-at-a-time -- to track it down. When I used that method, over the course of a few days, I didn't find it. I don't want to turn off all the plugins and then turn then on one-by-one, as a lot of stuff will get broken -- and be broken for over a week or so, as I don't have all the time I wish I had to track sit back and do nothing more than play with the plugins.
The coding is causing validation errors, but also display problems in a few browsers.

Andy Murray's 17 match winning run comes to an end
Andy Murray's 17-match winning run came to an end in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters on Friday, as Tomas Berdych came from behind to secure a thrilling win over the world number three.
Kevin Grech
12 November 2011, 12:00am
With Murray's form so imperious going into the match - he had won his last three tournaments and overtaken Roger Federer in the rankings - it was expected he would routinely secure a last-four berth when he won the first set.
But Berdych, who now has a 3-1 record over the Scot, dug deep and raised his game to a new level in the next two thrilling sets, often forcing Murray to lose his temper as he won 4-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-4.
Murray engaged in a heated debate with the umpire midway through the final set, his anger no doubt increased by the amount of chances he passed up during the three-hour 12-minute tussle.

Anchovies are an acquired taste, and fortunately for me, I acquired it as a child! I could always make sure no one ate my pizza just by ordering anchovies. I HAD to try this dish and I am so glad I did. I've never had anything like it. I heeded Rita's warning about the saltiness so I soaked the anchovies in milk over night to leach out the salt. Then I prepared as directed and it was a delicious spread for just my selfish self that no one else in the house will touch. I have enjoyed it for the last two days during my daily ceremonial glass (or three) of Grey Goose. Thanks, Mordreth! (I wish I had of spotted this LAST year when you posted it. I am going to keep this readily on hand for my Happy Hour indulgence)
I halved the recipe, since I am the only one who likes anchovies in this home. I did not bother to rinse the anchovies...oops...but this was still pretty darned good. I did process it in the food processor to make it more of a pureed pate. Next time will definately rinse these, and may even soak overnight then rinse to get more of the saltiness out. Will use this recipe again with those revisions to it...my boo boo not yours.
I`m sorry but I really didn`t like this! I did rinse the anchovies. I even added more of the veggies. Just way too salty! Maybe someone else would enjoy this and it just may be an aquired Taste! So Sorry Mordreth!

Martin Urban is a quiet bachelor with a comfortable life, free of worry and distractions. When he unexpectedly comes into a small fortune, he decides to use his newfound wealth to help out those in need. Finn also leads a quiet life, and comes into a little money of his own. Normally, their paths would never have crossed. But Martin's ideas about who should benefit from his charitable impulses yield some unexpected results, and soon the good intentions of the one become fatally entangled with the mercenary nature of the other. In the Lake of Darkness, Ruth Rendell takes the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished to a startling, haunting conclusion.

'Once Upon a Time' stars, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, welcomed a new baby boy on Thursday, May 29.
No word yet on the little one's name, but as Goodwin told Jimmy Kimmel in April, "Naming a child, though, with the last name of Dallas is a little more complicated."

Goodwin and Dallas, who play Snow White and Prince Charming, respectively, met on the set of 'Once Upon a Time.' The couple revealed that they were dating in April 2012, and a mere year-and-a-half later, they announced their engagement in October 2013.
News of Goodwin's pregnancy broke just a month later, which was eventually written into the show.

I am trying to rework a 3 column wordpress theme and need help on one point.
I'm setting it up with the left column being a sidebar that contains main site navigation, center column as the main content area, and the right column as an additional sidebar with email signup and such.
Right now I've got it LOOKING that way but I did it by moving the left sidebar call before the content.
My understanding is that for SEO purposes, this is a no-no. Content must always be first after header. Sidebar first has the google bot reading redundant stuff on every page/post. Not good.
So now I need to find a way to "bundle" both sidebar calls at the bottom of the post but STILL have the left sidebar show up left of the content.
I feel there is a way to do this, but I just don't know what the steps are.

When I try and add a link to the author's description or custom HTML, it appears fine until I click on the save changes button.
At that point, it adds my website in front of the URL like this:
When I review the code, it appears that when I click on the save changes button the plugin adds a \ to either side of the link I've added.
Please advise how I can fix this as I need to publish a guest post this week!
Many thanks.
