Travel Blogs from Xi'an
Banpo Village, Terracotta Warriors
... writing and art as well as housing, hunting, fishing, and crop growing. Quite an advanced society. For most of the time that I was there I was wracking my brain to think how developed the western world was at the same time.
We then went for an eye opening drive through Xi'an to the area where the Terracotta Warriors are. Many of the suburbs along the way were being completely demolished to build new housing and hotels for the many visitors ...
Day 2 Xi'an - City Tour
After having a much needed sleep, we set off to visit the city of Xi'an. 8 Million people live in Xi'an. Our first stop was the Ancient City Wall. We bike rode around the wall which was 13.7 kilometres long. Some of the views from the wall were beautiful. There were lovely gardens around the wall and a moat that also followed the wall. We also rode past the railway station which was very old and very busy. It was raining most of the time so ...

We also took a stroll in the Muslim quarter of Xian. Saw part of the wall which originally circled the old city.

Farmer Yang, Rock Star
In 1974, Farmer Yang was digging for a new water well in his field, when he accidentally stumbled on what is now regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. He had unearthed with his shovel a shard of terra cotta that turned out to be a piece of one of the 8000 buried Qui dynasty warriors, larger-than-life size soldiers commissioned by the Emperor to guard his tomb. Since the Chinese believe in the afterlife, the Emperor needed a ...
A Sunday Note from Ms Flynn
Day 44
It is very early on our last Sunday in Xi'an and I am looking out over this city that only 44 days ago seemed like another world: the police training in a courtyard a block away; old people out walking alone or with dogs who are unleashed, but don't stray; street vendors on their motorized tricycles on their way to set up shop for the day; the men leaving the construction site they ...

Walmart had bulbs on sale for $1. I bought several. Can I plant them now, or should a wait a couple of months and pland them in the Fall? Is starting indoors now an option? I am in zone 9. Hot and humid.
Houston area Dahlias
They were probably on sale because it was the end of the season. I'd get them in the ground as soon as possible. They are not really bulbs, but actually a group of tubers with generally one and sometimes two main stems. If you open the package, you should look to see if they are growing. How good the bulbs are is directly dependent on the individual management of that store.
For us they grow in the summer heat and keep going until the frost. If they are small plants and don't grow more then 16" high or so, they are great border plants. However, the larger blooms come on larger plants, and they can grow to 5 or 6 feet or more. They must be staked, and the blooms can be quite heavy. At the end of the season, they must be pulled up and stored during our cold winters. I would guess that in your zone once they are planted you are set. They probably go dormant for a while and die down, and sprout up again in few months. It may be that the dahlias sold in your zone are of a different variety than those sold up north.

A Federal High Court sitting in the central business district, Abuja has ordered that Governor Okpeazu of Abia State, to vacate his office with immediate effect.
The ruling came following a suit filed against him as a result of irregularities in the PDP primaries that produced him as the standard flag bearer.
The suit claimed that Ikpeazu submitted false information to his part during the primaries in 2014.
The judge who presided over the case, Justice Okon Abang, ruled today (monday) that INEC should immediately issue a certificate of return to the plaintiff, Uche Ogah.
Uche came second in the highest number of votes polled during the PDP primaries in 2014.
It is believed that Governor Ikpeazu will appeal the case.

2008 BMW 335i Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, & Test Drive
Still fast, still good looking, and still fun-to-drive, the 2008 BMW 335i makes for a top pick on the used sport luxury sedan market. Just avoid the early models with the cumbersome iDrive interface and used car buyers should expect a higher cost of ownership that comes with owning one.
2011 BMW 335i Performance Edition Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour
In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2011 BMW 335i Performance Edition. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle. Thanks a lot to Hendrick BMW in Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video!

MTV spent most of its red-carpet show at Sunday's (June 6) Movie Awards hyping the upcoming second season of "Jersey Shore." There were the staged, cheese-a-rific arrivals, Snooki interviewing (or some approximation thereof) people on the red carpet and endless reminders that we were about to see the epic, world-shaking first 13 minutes of the new season.
Then the preview came and, zzzzzzzzzzz … Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry, dozed off there for a second.
Suffice to say that the teaser deflated the hype like a rough night at the club deflates Snooki's poof.
The first 13 minutes of "Jersey Shore" Season 2 is pretty much all preamble: After a couple minutes of Season 1 recap, the rest of the preview is a let's-get-the-band-back-together road trip, with the cast talking to the camera about how awful the winter weather was in the Northeast and making their way south. Pauly D picks up The Situation, Snooki and J-Woww carpool, Vinny and Angelina head down by themselves. We assume Ronnie and Sammi hit the road too — we just don't see it.
Admittedly, watching Mike and Pauly D get their SUV stuck in the South Carolina mud (after buying a cartful of fireworks) and seeing Snooki discover the delicacy of fried pickles ("It's like, crunchy, but also juicy") had us chuckling. And we liked Vinny's uncle telling him, "Don't get too much nookie from Snooki."
But "Jersey Shore" won over its audience with over-the-top craziness. There's zero of that in the preview. Heck, no one even gets to Miami in the opening 10 minutes. Frankly, after the insanity that was Season 1, we expected more.
Drink in the full preview below.

No Holds Barred
Rich Moss is probably stretching the truth even thinner than one of his opponents' hamstrings when he calls cage fighting "a gentle sport." After all, in his nine Rage in the Cage bouts, the number-two-ranked middleweight champ has either knocked out or beaten his opponents into submission using his patented "armbar" hold -- achieved when the arm a fallen fighter holds up in defense is twisted back so gruesomely that the referee fears it's about to snap.
"It's not as brutal as people think," Moss insists. "In cage fighting, if you get knocked down to the ground, and it looks like you're gonna get beat up, they'll stop it."
Cage fighting, as Moss describes it, is all about getting as close to doing serious harm to your opponent before the ref steps in like a killjoy playground monitor.
Rage in the Cage
Dodge Theatre, 400 West Washington
Saturday, June 12 63 lets loose at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $18 to $53, are available through the box office and www.ticketmaster.com
"If you get caught in an armbar, and the referee sees you're in danger of breaking an arm and you're not 'tapping out,'" Moss says, referring to the universal hand-slapping-the-mat gesture for screaming "uncle!," "he'll stop the fight." Choke holds are a tougher call. "But most referees are trained enough to know if a guy's passed out from being choked," he says reassuringly, "and they'll pull you off."

Moss, who competed in the 1988 Olympics in judo, was thrilled to discover cage fighting, where it's okay to unleash, American-style, all the Eastern martial arts skills he was schooled never to use, except as a last resort.
"There's a total variety of things you have to be trained for," he says. "A boxer, he's only looking for punches. A kickboxer's just looking for punches or kicks. But in a cage fight, you're gonna get punched, kicked, gouged, armbarred, choked," Moss says, laughing. "It's a release -- it's a lot of fun!"

Anthony F Lang, Jr
Professor, Head of School
Room: 243
Office Hours Tuesday, 10am - 1pm
Tel: 3006
Email: email@example.com
All Head of School matters should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Anthony F Lang, Jr holds a Chair in International Political Theory in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews where he founded the Centre for Global Constitutionalism. He received his PhD in political science from Johns Hopkins University in 1996. He was an assistant professor of political science at the American University in Cairo, Egypt from 1996-2000. From 2000-2003, he served as a programme officer at the Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs, where he directed programmes on ethics and the use of force, religion and US foreign policy, and ethics in higher education. He has served as president of the International Ethics section of the International Studies Association (2003-2004), programme chair of the Human Rights Section of ISA (2006-2008), and Chair of the International Ethics section Book Prize Committee (2009-2011). He currently serves as the Chair of the Academic Freedom Committee of the International Studies Association. He serves on the editorial boards of Global Constitutionalism, Journal of International Political Theory and Ethics & International Affairs. He is also commissioning editor of the new series, Global Ethics from Routledge Publishers.
Keywords: International Political Theory; Global Constitutionalism; International Ethics, International Law; International Organizations; Middle East Politics and Law; and the Just War Tradition
My research focuses on the intersection of ethics, politics, and law at the global level. One stream of this research focuses on global constitutionalism, or how various aspects of the international political and legal order relate to the rule of law and an institutional balance of power. A second stream of research focuses on the responsibility of both individuals and states in the international legal and political order. A third stream focuses on constitutionalism in the Middle East, with particular attention to Egypt and the politics and law of the post-Arab Spring. A fourth stream of research focuses on the ethical and legal issues of the use of military force largely within the framework of the just war tradition.
My previous work has addressed international political theory, with a particular focus on questions of agency, responsibility and punishment. I have explored these issues in the context of various global practices such as humanitarian intervention, international security strategy, war crimes, and counter terrorism policy. In this research stream, I have explored how is it that various agents in the international system are held responsible and/or accountable for policies at the global level. A corollary to this research is a focus on whether or not agents in the international system are punished when they are held responsible, and who ought to be punishing them. I have also done work on the political theory of Hannah Arendt, the IR theory of Hans Morgenthau, and humanitarian intervention.

Published 2 April 2013 | Perth Writers Festival
50 Shades of Chick LitBooks and Authors
- Highlights
- watch now
Chick lit takes a bit of a thrashing from the critics - described as 'girly trash' and 'it aint literature'. It would have to be one of the most read genres currently though, as chick lit writer Anita Heiss says,"a heap of people diss it".
Theres three good women on this panel at this years Perth Writers Festival: Anita Heiss, Susan Johnson and Zoe Foster and they take up a number of defensive postures early on in this discussion about how chick lit is viewed/critiqued out there.
But drop your preconceptions at the door, theyre smart and witty women whove written a heap of books between them - not all of it chick lit. And they sell.
Anita Heiss is the author of Im Not Racist But...; Who Am I?; Sacred Cows; Am I Black Enough for you? and Paris Dreaming.
Zoe Foster is the author of Air Kisses; Amazing Face; The Younger Man and Playing the Field.
Susan Johnson is the author of Life in Seven Mistakes; A Better Woman; A Big Life; Women Love Sex and My Hundred Lovers.
Ara Jansen moderates the session.

Anyone else come out of this with a lower opinion of 'chick-lit' than they did going in?

It astounds me, that in this day and age, Women must continue to justify their equality and intelligence as Human beings. Contempt prior to investigation keeps all of us in a state of Ignorance. Bravo to Ara and the Authors!

According to Section 583.310 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, "An action shall be brought to trial within five years after the action is commenced against the defendant."
On the surface, it seems like a simple rule. But as with so many things, the devil is in the details. During last week's conference, the California Supreme Court agreed to further clarify how to calculate the five-year period, granting a petition for review in Gaines v. Fidelity National Title Insurance Company.
According to Section 583.340, there are only three situations in which the five-year clock pauses – during times that (1) the jurisdiction of the court to try the action was suspended; (2) prosecution or trial of the action was stayed or enjoined; or (3) bringing the action to trial, for any other reason, was impossible, impracticable, or futile. Once the clock runs out, dismissal is mandatory. Gaines involves the application of the second and third exclusions.
Gaines started in 2006 when two senior citizen homeowners fell behind on their mortgage. An individual defendant contacted the homeowners and identified herself as an employee of the loan holder. She explained that she had given a copy of the homeowners' refinance application to her fiance, who helped homeowners find refinancing loans. Within a few months, after a complicated series of transactions, the fiance and his business partners wound up owning the homeowners' home - which they allegedly bought for $300,000 less than it was worth - and the homeowners held only a month-to-month lease with no option to buy. Around this time, the husband homeowner died.
The surviving wife filed suit in November 2006 against the original loan holder, the loan holder's employee, her fiance and his business partners, and various others. In January 2008, the plaintiff filed a fourth amended complaint adding additional defendants. In April 2008, the plaintiff's counsel successfully obtained an order staying the action for 120 days, excepting only outstanding discovery, and directing the parties to participate in good faith in a mediation. The stay was terminated in November 2008 after the mediation failed to produce a settlement.
The new presiding judge set an August 2009 trial date. Around that time, one of the newly added defendants indicated that it didn't have title to the property after all, and the trial date was vacated. In a declaration filed in November 2009, counsel for that defendant indicated that a bankrupt entity in New York owned the relevant loan, and his client had no interest in the property or the loan.
The wife died in November 2009. Leave was granted two months later to substitute her son as the successor in interest and plaintiff, and the court set yet another trial date in 2010. At a mid-2010 status conference, with the real loan holder still in bankruptcy, the plaintiff's counsel suggested a further continuance to allow time to bifurcate proceedings, carving out the claim against the bankrupt entity and proceeding against the other defendants. Three months later at another status conference, plaintiff's counsel said they were ready to proceed to trial, but one of the defense counsel pointed out that plaintiff had made no attempt to proceed against the bankrupt entity. By February 2011, plaintiff's counsel indicated he had authorization to retain New York counsel to seek relief from the bankruptcy stay as to the missing party. In October 2011, the bankruptcy court entered an order lifting the bankruptcy stay for the missing party as to the plaintiff's claims. Plaintiff amended her complaint to name the bankrupt entity in mid-November 2011, and trial was finally set for August 2012.
In May 2012, one group of defendants moved to dismiss the action under Section 583.310 on the grounds that it had been pending five years without being brought to trial. The trial court granted the motion and - concluding that violation of the five-year statute was jurisdictional - dismissed the remaining defendants as well. A divided Court of Appeal (Second District, Division Eight) affirmed in part and reversed in part.
The trial court declined to exclude the seven-month 2008 stay from the five-year calculation. The Court of Appeal agreed. The Supreme Court had held in Bruns v. E-Commerce Exchange, Inc. that a partial stay was not enough to pause the five-year clock, the court pointed out. Since the 2008 stay in Gaines exempted already-outstanding discovery, it was a partial stay, and Bruns governed. Nor were the defendants estopped from arguing that the 2008 stay counted in the calculation just because they had agreed to it.
The Court of Appeal further held that the trial court was within its discretion to find that it was not impossible, impractical or futile to bring the case to trial during the 2008 partial stay. The plaintiff had failed to establish a causal connection between the stay and missing the five-year deadline, the court found. Moreover, even if the causal connection existed, the court agreed with the trial court's finding that plaintiff had not been reasonably diligent at all times in prosecuting the case. Nor was the fact that certain defendants hadn't formally joined the motion to dismiss a barrier to dismissal, the Court held. As long as those defendants were named in the original complaint, they were entitled to dismissal, even on the court's own motion.
The Court of Appeal reversed the dismissal only with respect to the bankrupt defendant. That defendant had been named for the first time in the Fourth Amended Complaint, the court pointed out. There's an additional wrinkle here for counsel to be aware of here, however. When a defendant is brought into the action by being identified as a previously sued Doe defendant, the five-year clock begins when the Doe defendant is sued, not when the defendant is finally identified.
Associate Justice Laurence D. Rubin dissented, writing that he would have reversed the trial court's judgment in its entirety. Justice Rubin's dissent is noteworthy to appellate practitioners for its initial section - a scholarly discussion of the abuse of discretion standard and its shortcomings as a guide for appellate decision-making.
We expect Gaines to be decided in eight to ten months.

You all know that I love me some preserving. Let me turn some fruits into jam or pickle some vegetables and I'm a happy camper. I'm particularly happy when I get to crack open a jar of preserved peaches in February.
A few (ok, many) months ago the folks at Thomas Allen gave me a copy of Mourad Lahlou's cookbook, New Moroccan. The recipes looked delicious but many of them required preserved lemons. Now living in Toronto (at the time), finding preserved lemons should be a breeze but I'm always worried about what people put in products to preserve them. Luckily Lahlou's cookbook has a dead simple recipe for preserved lemons.
The ingredients: lemons and salt.
The hardest part was finding a jar to make this in. In a perfect world I would've used unwaxed, organic lemons but out of sheer laziness I bought regular lemons and scrubbed them very well to remove the yucky stuff on the outside.
After a few weeks the lemons turned out as expected. Soft but with a gentle firmness and the zest and pith's bitterness had been toned down significantly. So far I've used the lemons in dressings and as part of tagine to great results. Unfortunately the jar sits at the back of my fridge and I forget to randomly add it to new dishes. That will happen… soon.
Now that I'm in Chicago and without my stash of preserved lemons I'm totally missing them. Especially since more than a few recipes in my Ottolenghi cookbooks require preserved lemons. It may be time to whip up another batch.
Any thoughts on what else I can do with preserved lemons?
Preserved Lemons
The Process:
About 6 lemons for juicing
About 6 lemons for preserving
About a 1/2 cup kosher salt
First, thoroughly scrub and rinse your lemons. This is an instance when you really want an organic, or at least unsprayed, lemon.
Next, slice one half of your lemons into quarters. Place the first four quarters in the bottom of the jar, flesh side up. Sprinkle with one or two tablespoons sea salt – be generous.
Continue with one set of lemon quarters followed by one or two tablespoon sea salt.
Once the jar is packed with lemons, squeeze the remaining lemons to fill the jar with juice.
Let sit for at least one month before use.

Ratings for Dr. Peter Graff
what an amazing doctor. He treated me in the ER and diagnosed me for a nasty bout of pustular psoriasis, and the whole time he was so kind, patient, and understanding. As soon as my biopsy results came in he went ahead and got me an urgent referral for a dermatologist he trusted, and even brought in an ENT friend of his for the respiratory tract infection I was suffering from at the same time. He really went above and beyond - best experience i've ever had in the ER.
Wonderful Doctor....When I had my heart attached July 2014 and met him in the Cardiac ward.....Very direct and straight forward....my kind of doctor.
Peter Graff saved my life! I was 24 or so. I was sent to ICU, and woke up each day for half an hour to tell my family I am OK and then would pass out. When I finally got out of the ICU, a nurse told me that she followed Peter from Calgary(I think) to Lions Gate. Since I have sent 3 friends to him. All loved him.
I concur with all the other wonderful comments about Dr. Graff. I want to add that he is kind,funny and best of all listens to his patients and knows his "stuff". I feel like I'm in good hands with him.
Excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, profesional, caring. He saved my life.
very detailed in his diagnosis and very professional, I would recommend him every time if asked.
I have dealt with Dr. Graff for almost three years now. He is straightforward, knowledgeable and we communicate well. He has always followed up all tests and gotten the results to me quickly. I have great confidence in Dr. Graff. He was also very compassionate with my family when I was in critical condition.
great doc,listens ,came on his own time x-max day to see me again.very friendly.
This man saved my fathers life, everytime after that when he saw the rest of our family, he remembered our names and asked about our family. This is a brilliant man. He deserves many accolades
Doesn't have a secretary or office staff so he has been unavailable when we need him. We went to the hospital ECG to see him, and were told that is not his office. He is knowledgeable but extremly condesending and unproffesional. Don't go to him!!!

It looks like you've given us a starting point! Its largely a lack of knowing where to start. As to the sample apps--I agree to a point. If you don't have the convention to build the sample app with, how is the potential user going to know what they are looking at?

SQLTransformer is evil (it should have been deprecated and done away with back in the early 2.0 days). Again, its mixing the concerns. A proper model is a separate entity that can be easily referenced, modified and controlled through the controller and then examined from the view. It should not be mixed in with the view. >> View >> ---- >> In the CRACK version matching the /login/index URL, we would look >> for (in this order) a .jx file, a .xml file, or a .xsp file that >> matches the name of the action "index".

Amazingly, it is good enough for many uses. I like the simplicity of being able to specify the JXL as the generator portion and then finishing the pipeline with the layout. "It just works" for the 80/20 rule. >> Changes to Cocoon >> ----------------- >> In order to support something like this, we don't have to make >> fundamental changes to Cocoon.

When the base convention is defined, it is easy to add the code automation scripts to support that convention. Again, reasonable defaults also help. That allows the user to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Snowy Hydro faces wages boom
Date : 28/05/2006
Reporter: Alan Kohler
ALAN KOHLER: Of all the emotional arguments against floating Snowy Hydro that I've heard, only one makes any sense - that it will only make one difference to the business. A company director wrote to me this week saying that nothing will change in the way Snowy Hydro is run, he thought, except the salaries it pays will skyrocket. He suggested there was a precedent in the UK years ago when water was privatised there. The service, and the quality of the product did not change, but boy did the salaries go up. You can probably guarantee that with Snowy Hydro. Chief Executive Terry Charlton is already pretty well paid. According to the annual report last year, he got around $1.4 million, which is a normal sort of base salary. But the thing to watch will be the executive bonuses, and in particular, whether they all start getting paid like investment bankers. You see, Snowy Hydro really is an investment bank. It sells insurance and derivatives products to electricity retailers based on the water in its dams, to protect them against volatility in the demand for power caused by the weather. The company says the vast majority of its income comes from those investment banking activities rather than selling electricity. I wouldn't be surprised if Snowy Hydro is already starting losing key staff to investment banks up the road. Terry Charlton and his colleagues must sit in their office in O'Connell Street, Sydney and look at the colossal bonuses paid to their counterparts at Macquarie Bank, for example, just around the corner in Pitt Street, and think - "We've got to get out of the public service". Well, now they are - without leaving the company.

Alan Kohler says of all the arguments he has heard against floating Snowy Hydro, the only one that makes sense is that wages will skyrocket if the company is privatised.
