Haha, this made me smile. You must be talking about me! Paranoia aside, I never know where I am going and I get excited at every bend.
Charming poem!
You cearly have not driven, OR written anything,in London.....and those are two plumish feathers in your cap...though my driving is getting pretty good....
Sometimes writing is like a sunday drive, not really knowing where you are going, just meandering along to see what we might find. Other times it is a s drive to a place we must go, but we never quite know the route we need to take.
Interesting an thought provoking poem as always Alvin.
Since I have no sense of direction when I drive; life's road has often taken me to unexpected places.
I'm so grateful for those people who guided me back to the right road to reach my destination!
Good poem alvin!!

Please note the following changes (implemented in April 2016) that are currently in effect for Distinguished Member nominations:
For questions on the above please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Distinguished Member nominations are reviewed annually. This webpage describes the process and requirements for nominations. For helpful suggestions, see Frequently Asked Questions.
Next Deadline: August 1, 2017 - End of Day, Anywhere on Earth (AoE), UTC -12 hrs.
Eligibility: Prior to the submission deadline, a candidate must have accrued:
Selection Criteria: Successful candidates for Distinguished Member must have achieved a significant level of accomplishment or made a significant impact in the field of computing, computer science, and/or information technology. This means that he/she demonstrates substantial depth and breadth of understanding of the field, including the creation of new ideas and the synthesis of work by others. In addition, it is expected that a Distinguished Member serves as a mentor and role model guiding technical career development for others and exhibits eminence by contributing to the field beyond the norm. The nomination must provide clear evidence of at least two of the following:
The nomination statement is carefully reviewed and evaluated. However, the Committee gives particular weight to the supporting evidence provided by the endorsers, who must be individuals with personal knowledge of the candidate's achievements and impact.
Nominations: Candidates for Distinguished Member must be nominated by another ACM member, preferably one who holds a senior role in the computing field. An online nomination form is used. The requirements for nominations and endorsements are described below; further detail and examples will be found under Frequently Asked Questions.
All materials must be submitted in English. Each nomination involves several components:
Endorsements: The nominator must secure endorsements from 4-5 colleagues in the field. At least 2 of them must be ACM members, preferably individuals who are themselves ACM Fellows or ACM Distinguished Members. Endorsers must have personal knowledge of the candidate's work. The endorsers attest that they know the candidate's work, that the nomination accurately describes his/her achievements, and that they believe the accomplishments meet the criteria for Distinguished Member. Most importantly, they provide a brief endorsement statement giving their personal assessment of the candidate's key achievements and impact on the computing field (limited to 2,500 characters). It's the nominator's responsibility to ensure that each endorser will make individual, substantive comments that will strengthen the case for the candidate.
It's important that the nominator contact potential endorsers to get their consent and preferred contact info before submitting the nomination. We also recommend that endorsers be sent the information about what endorsements should include (from the Frequently Asked Questions webpage); many nominations fail simply because the endorsers didn't receive good instructions from the nominator. NOTE: After submitting the endorsement form, each endorser will be sent an email from firstname.lastname@example.com with an encrypted URL which must be used to confirm the endorsement. Please warn endorsers in advance that they should expect that email and be prepared to respond to it promptly (or should contact firstname.lastname@example.com if it doesn't arrive).
Further information is available on the Frequently Asked Questions webpage. If you still have specific questions, please send them to Rosemary McGuinness, ACM Awards Committee Liaison. ACM's conflict-of-interest guidelines apply to all membership grade nominations.Scroll

500 MHz iMac specs vary internationally
As noted last night, the 500 MHz and 600 MHz iMacs feature the IBM PowerPC 750cx processor and include 256 KB of on-chip cache operating at the same speed as the processor. However, this appears to only be the case in the US, as International Apple sites and stores, excluding Canada, specify that the 500 MHz iMac features the older PowerPC 750 chip, sporting 512 KB of backside cache operating at 200 MHz (the 600 MHz is still listed as featuring the new chip). Additionally, the International 500 MHz iMac is also listed as having a Rage 128 Pro graphics processor with 8 MB of RAM, versus the Rage 128 Ultra with 16 MB of RAM that the US model features. We are looking into this discrepancy and will post more information when we receive it.

Anfy delivers 41 Java applets to Mac users
Anfy 1.4 is a collection of 41 Java applets for adding visual flair to Web pages. With the Anfy application, which was recently released for Macs, users can configure the applets to their liking.
New CD-RW Cube offers less value
Bryan Powell notes a major discrepancy between the new, mid-range $1600 CD-RW Cube and the previous mid-range model. The previous model included a 40 GB drive and RADEON graphics, while the new model features a 20 GB drive and Rage 128 graphics. \"What it amounts to is you are paying $300 for 64 MB of RAM and a CD-RW drive. Considering the fact that you are able to select a DVD-ROM drive when customizing the system for no change in price, you are actually paying $300 for 64 MB of RAM. This is intensely frustrating as I had cancelled a previous order to get this machine, and now I am cancelling this one.\"
Chaos Master 1.2 posted, C&G acquires rights
Casady & Greene has acquired the publishing rights to ProSoft\'s (formerly Radialogic) Chaos Master and has released Chaos Master 1.2.

iTunes 1.1 solves PB issues, has new visuals
Along with support for third-party drives, Apple\'s newly released iTunes 1.1 apparently brings a few fixes for Titanium PowerBook owners, according to one reader: \"For all us TiBook owners, it fixes the widescreen issue for full screen visuals! Also, 10 user selectable presets for visuals, a few new modes and as best as I can tell, slightly higher frame rates on my TiPBG4/500. Other small updates for show title track, the shuffle seems to work now, and was that power saving option always there?\"
PC sales continue to fall in January
PC Data reports that retail unit sales of desktop PCs in January plummeted 26 percent, while notebooks unit sales slid 9 percent, indicating \"that the PC sales slowdown, which started before Christmas, could linger....Apple Computer and Emachines took the biggest hits in January, with sales down 60 percent and 50 percent, respectively, year over year.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind.

The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Maybe we should bring that back? If we stopped single women from getting WIC or Food stamps etc they would have to find a man to buy them things. Like food, and medicine, and shoes, and all of those stupid women's magazines that they don't really need, etc. If women depended on men again there would not be this epidemic of singleness anymore... its a thing, look it up. No, just take my word for it. I'm a man.
So men would get married, they'd have jobs, better jobs, since companies wouldn't have to give the good jobs to women just to keep the lawyers at bay. They would get more done at their jobs since there are no T&A there to distract them. The world would just RUN more wonderfully. Plus there would be less traffic because the women are at home doing what they do best. Making sandwiches, cleaning house, and planning to pleasure their hard working men. Plus with women off the roads traffic would be just amazing, because they are the worst drivers! Just the absolute WORST!

A thought of evil
Rich in violence
A festering hate
Corrupting pacifism
Boiling and blackened
It rushes everywhere
Sparking bloodlust
A yearn for the kill
Flowing color, from a different perspective
Looks like flame

Your imagery is amazing and the flow is also a beautiful attribute although it looks as though you are trying to make it choppy for the effect...but it works with the content...great write
Thanks for the new and different perspective to an old friend... Fires have been warming, comforting, even at times cleansing our lives for centuries... Why not see a new perspective in it's glow?
It is soo amazing how well you define "thought" as if it were truly visible and swimming through all of our lives! It's magnificent :)
You spark curiosity in this work of yours.
So interesting the paradox of 'blackened' and 'flowing color.'
Do u go to the flame, is it bringing light, or is it causing the festering hate and evil?

Kosher food
The kosher market on Harvard Street in Brookline, shut since a two-alarm fire in July, reports it's passed all its inspections and will re-open at 10 a.m. on Sept. 7.
We cannot wait to greet you all at the store next week! Shabbat Shalom!
Vittorio Hassan, who ran an eponymous kosher pizza place on Beacon Street until 2003, is returning to the same location to open an eponymous kosher pizza place. Read more.
The Butcherie, shut since a fire last month, reports it will be re-opening Thursday in the space left vacant when Rubin's suddenly closed this month. Read more.
The Globe reports he grew up eating at Rubin's, whose current owners closed it for the last time today.
The owners of Rubin's Kosher Restaurant on Harvard Street in Brookline announced tonight that they will be closing forever Friday afternoon.
Erica and Allen Gellerman did not say why they are suddenly closing one of the Boston area's few kosher restaurants, but said it was with "a heavy heart."
A two-alarm fire at the Butcherie on Harvard Street this afternoon has shut the store indefinitely.
For four Sundays starting Jan. 31, the Chubby Chickpea, which normally runs a food truck, will be doing a shakshuka brunch at 7 Star Street Bistro on Belgrade Ave., between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Don't like shakshuka? They'll have other "traditional Israeli breakfast items." And cordials.
Debra Reichman Gitell reports the new Westwood Wegman's opened today and that it has a large kosher-food department. She adds the store is probably three times the size of the Newton outlet and that parking's a lot easier.
The Forward explains why the Chubby Chickpea decided to stop spending the money for kosher certification.
The Chubby Chickpea announced today it's giving up kosher certification.
Clover, which offers food both on wheels and in fixed locations, is going for kosher certification:
I had a colleague at McKinsey who kept fairly strict Kosher, and I was shocked what a nightmare it was for her to try to find food she could eat. I have no idea how many people in Boston keep Kosher, but I want Clover to be accessible to everybody and I started thinking about getting Kosher certification a long time ago.
Developer Nissim Shimon Trabelsi says he's talking to several hotel management companies - including the one that runs the King David Hotel in Jerusalem - about running the chain of hotels he hopes to start with one on VFW Parkway in West Roxbury at the Dedham line.
The BRA holds a public meeting Thursday on a developer's plans to build a kosher hotel and restaurant on the VFW Parkway at the Dedham line.
The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the District E-5 community room.
The BRA will consider a developer's plans to build a four-story, 69-room hotel aimed at observant Jews on VFW Parkway on the Dedham line.
King David Hotels Corp. is proposing the hotel at 1625 VFW Parkway - where an old McDonald's burned down in 2013.
Eater Boston alerts us to a one-day kosher-ish homage to the Chinese New Year at a Chinatown restaurant:
What happens when you mix the Chinese New Year with Jewish cuisine with O Ya/jm Curley alum Mark O'Leary, and then you serve it all at Shojo? You get dishes like luobagao latkes with lox, matzoh ball ramen, and black & white challah, and you only get it for one night.
Dan Podheiser asks:
Anyone know a Brighton area restaurant that delivers homemade matzoh ball soup? Preferably made by my Jewish grandmother.
More places than you might expect are serving latkes.
The Crimson reports that Rami's, the kosher Israeli place in Coolidge Corner, is looking to expand and has listed Harvard Square as one of its possible new locations (along with Framingham and Sharon).
According to the Crimson, there's a glatt of interest at Harvard; says some even predict prospective students might decide where to go based on the presence of kashruth in the square.

Russian court rejects Google's latest Android antitrust appeal
OK Go breaks gravity habit in spacey 'Upside Down & Inside Out' video
It isn't easy to come up with an idea for an eclectic music video that's never been done before — but that's what OK Go keeps doing. And now that the band may have exhausted all earthly ideas, its members have taken to the sky.
The new video for "Upside Down & Inside Out" puts band members in a S7 Airlines plane, combining some of OK Go's favorite elements — bright colors, random props and the single-take shot — with zero-gravity conditions.
Though commonly associated with space travel, zero-gravity can be created in Earth's atmosphere if an airplane flies in a parabolic shape. Once the plane reaches the top of the parabola and starts its descent, it will create the feeling of zero-gravity for those on board (and their balloons and piñatas) Read more...More about Video, Music, Entertainment, Space, and Russia
Want a deal on a Papa John's pizza in Russia? Enter promo code 'Josef Stalin'
A new offer from Papa John's Pizza franchises in Russia is making some people sick, but it's not the pies themselves.
As part of a new promotion, customers can save money on pizza by entering the name of the long-deceased former Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
See also: WTF? Russia bans swearing in jails
News of the promo code was first published on Facebook by Ilya Klishin, editor-in-chief at the independent TV Rain channel in Moscow
"Papa John's Pizza has introduced a Josef Stalin promotion code. Enter the name of the dictator and get a Hawaiian or pepperoni pizza," wrote Klishin, who said his great-grandfather was one of tens of millions of people repressed by the brutal dictator.

Russian government threatens a ban on Google, Facebook and Twitter
Roskomnadzor, a Russian government agency that oversees communications and media, threatened late last week to block access to Google, Facebook and Twitter if the social media services don't hand over data on certain Russian bloggers
The government agency demanded Google, Facebook and Twitter hand over data about users, particularly Russian bloggers with 3,000 daily readers or more. Rozkomnadzor also asked the services to delete content that promotes protests and other unsanctioned public events, Reuters reported.
Late last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged he would not place the Internet under government control; Roskomnadzor's recent actions, however, indicate differently. A law passed in 2014 gives Russian prosecutors the right to block sites without a court ruling if those sites contain information about protests unsanctioned by the government Read more...More about Facebook, Twitter, Russia, Apps Software, and Us World
Putin Signs Law With Potential to Censor Facebook and Twitter in Russia
In a move that could have major implications for social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law Tuesday strengthening regulations on Internet data storage.
Starting in 2016, the new law will require Internet operators to store Russian user data in centers within the country. Once data is stored on Russian servers, it will be subjected to Russian laws, putting it at risk for censorship, critics say. Companies that don't comply will be blocked from the web

The law is part of a plan to improve "the management of personal data of Russian citizens on computer networks," Agence France-Presse reported. Critics say it could have a chilling effect on a variety of websites, including Facebook and Twitter, which do not have Russian data centers Read more...More about Facebook, Twitter, Censorship, Russia, and Internet Freedom
YouTube Files Appeal Against Regulator In Russia Over Content Blocked By New Firewall
Google this week fired off one of the first high-profile tests of Russia's controversial new firewall — erected November 1, 2012 to block child porn, drugs and suicide content; but seen by critics as a route for the government to block whatever else it chooses. Google's YouTube operation in Russia has filed an appeal against the Russian regulator for blocking YouTube content. The appeal, filed on February 11 by YouTube LLC, concerns the blacklisting of a video that showed how to apply Halloween makeup: because it shows how to make a wound, Roscomnadzor (Russia's consumer watchdog) also deemed that it encouraged suicide and suicidal tendencies. The video is embedded below.
The news of the suit was also reported in the Russian newspaper Vedomosti and the WSJ.
Google's position is that there is not enough clarification on what kind of content is permitted or not. In this case, a video intended for entertainment has been misinterpreted, it believes. A spokesperson in Russia, Alla Zabrovskaya, provided the following statement to TechCrunch:
"YouTube provides a community where people from around the world can express themselves by sharing videos and being informed. While we support the greatest access to information possible, we will, at times, restrict content on country-specific domains where a nation's laws require it or if content is found to violate our Community Guidelines. In this case, we have appealed the decision of Russian Consumer Watchdog because we do not believe that the goal of the law was to limit access to videos that are clearly intended to entertain viewers."
This case is an appeal of an existing ruling to block a video; it's not a lawsuit and so it does not entail any financial claims over lost revenue, TechCrunch understands.
The situation highlights a problem of Russia's new firewall: it was erected to block specific pages that violate Russia's laws, but has apparently it been less nuanced in its actual application. On top of that, when the regulator decides to block one piece of content on a site, the entirety of that IP gets blocked.
While it is appealing the decision, YouTube has taken down the suicide video, but if it had not, then all of YouTube would have been blocked in Russia, TechCrunch understands.
It also underscores the tension that continues to exist in Russia over free speech and government control; and the role that international (Western) giants like Google play in the country's information and tech economies.
YouTube has been dancing around the Russian regulator's firewall for months now. Back in November, just weeks after the laws came into effect, YouTube faced a temporary block that was later attributed to a technical error. At the time, this is how Zabrovskaya described it to me:
"There is not much to comment, it was a technical mistake…YouTube was never blocked, it just appeared in the "black list", and then was deleted almost immediately as the news cycle started."
But at the time she also sounded a note of warning, which this week is now coming into play with YouTube's formal suit:
"We have expressed our opinion on the law, underlining that IP or DNS-blocking system is damaging to Internet development in Russia, as these are the ways which could potentially block the entirety of the product (YT or any other UGC-product ) over one piece of illegal content."
The WSJ reports that there is another company filing a suit against Roscomnadzor, although it doesn't specify a name or indication whether it is a Russian or international content provider. Other video streaming sites that compete against YouTube in Russia include RuTube and Ivi.ru (the "Hulu of Russia"); both are significantly smaller than YouTube in terms of reach.
We are contacting Roscomnadzor for comment and will update this story as we learn more.
Yandex, Google's Russian Rival, Is Twitter's New Real-Time Search Partner
A significant step for Twitter in its international growth: Yandex, Russia's search giant, today announced that it will carry Twitter data in all of its search results.
The news also underscores one possible route to revenue generation for Twitter: Yandex describes this as a licensing deal. The terms of it were not disclosed but Microsoft reportedly paid Twitter $30 million for a similar search agreement.
The agreement with Yandex will see Twitter's data firehose appear both in Yandex's blog search, as well as through a dedicated URL, twitter.yandex.ru.
The Yandex agreement is similar to the real-time Twitter search that used to be offered by Google — a partnership that ended last year around the time that Google was launching its own Google+ service.
Yandex says it has licensed the "full feed of all public tweets," covering all languages — but seems to highlight specifically those tweets that are in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian or Kazakh, covering tweets from more than two million users. People will be able to search by usernames and hashtags, too. In total, Twitter has around 100 million active users, covering some 250 million tweets per day.
This looks like Twitter's first big deal with a Russian portal, and could point to more local partnerships of its kind — useful for Twitter extending its coverage and usefulness beyond its home market and English.
For Yandex, the Twitter deal gives the search giant — which currently has around 60 percent of the market in Russia — a leg up in its own strategy to do more in social networking: Yandex already offers people Google-like features to share news and other content and this will enhance that.

No words could sum up the Rossignol Krypto MagTek Mid-Wide Snowboard any better than those of Rossignol team rider Neil Provo, who says, "The Krypto MagTek is a sick snowboard for those deep pow days at the resort. The mellow flex paired with the early rise nose and tail keep you going all day without killing your legs by noon." The Magne-Traction 7M Edges keep your board gripping the snow in even the sketchiest conditions, while the Super Directional flex pattern gives you the best board control you'll ever have. Make sure your board can slay any terrain, especially those sick pow lines, and check out the Rossignol Krypto MagTek Mid-Wide Snowboard.
AMPTEK All-Mountain A combination of 60% Rocker and 40% Camber gives you more control, stability, edge pressure and smoother landings due to the rocker profile in the nose and tail and camber profile under the bindings.
Super Directional Extremely stiff under the back foot gives you maximum control, while a medium-stiff flex at the front foot allows for smoother turns. A stiff waist gives more stability at higher speeds.
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) 9, perfect for powder days
Directional Twin - A stiff tail for punch on kickers and solid landings with a softer waist and nose for smoothness
TwinWood 3 Hard and soft wood laminated together for a unique blend of durability, smoothness and low swing weight
Glass Fiber Glass has greater elongation before break than carbon and comes in multiple weights and weavings, making it the #1 choice for customized flex and torsional resistance. Glass fiber also stabilizes the mechanical properties of the wood core over time.
Sintered 7500 A super high density UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) sintered base with a stone finishing gives the board the fastest and most durable base to date.
Magne-Traction 7M Featuring 7 deeps bumps distributed along the edges to maximize the edge pressure between the feet, bringing the once unreachable "dead area" of the board back to life for added control and stability even in the gnarliest conditions

Rossignol Snowboards can accommodate both 2x4 and 4x4 insert patterns.

Comments about Rossignol Krypto Magtek Mid Wide Snowboard 2013:
The more I ride this board the better it gets. I've taken it out 6 times now and am starting to rip up the mountain as much as I can for someone of my ability. Very stable at speed and it grips like you wouldn't believe!!
I already feel my riding is improving each time I hit the slopes
The Magne-Traction is great, it gives you huge confidence to throw your self into hard turns at speed.
Great board in the pow - floats with ease - all in all I'm a huge fan of this board!!
Best Uses
Comments about Rossignol Krypto Magtek Mid Wide Snowboard 2013:
This board excels in the toughest conditions. Whether it's the magtek holding an edge on the hard-pack/icy traverse, the early rise scoop nose/rocker tail giving you superior float in the powder, or the slight camber underfoot that gives the board that extra stability while bombing through the chop, this board can always be counted on. If you are looking for a park board or a board that will feel the same riding switch as it does regular, than this may not be the board for you. But if you are looking for a board that will outperform any true twin in the toughest conditions look no further.

As the northern hemisphere sinks into the short, cold, dark days of winter, Africa stretches its arms out wide in a warm welcome. December in Africa is when summer gets going and many places are at their best. The climate is mostly hot and sunny while the occasional rains that do fall in the interior cool things down and green' things up.
Floating down a papyrus-lined channel with only a mokoro canoe between me and the water lilies, I'm awestruck by this wild place. Birdsong follows us, punctuating the soft rhythm of the pole as it dips in and out the clear water, its cool freshness enveloping my fingers as they trail in the wake. I am in the heart of the magical Okavango Delta, undoubtedly one of Africa's most inspirational destinations.
November in Africa and the sun is setting later and rising earlier - summer is on its way! Now is the time to come on a beach vacation because Africa's tropical island destinations – like the Seychelles, Mauritius and Zanzibar - are stunning in November. If you're thinking of a November safari, choose your destination carefully: the start of summer also means the start of the rainy or green season in many African safari destinations.
It's impossible not to like giraffes. Their languid manner and slightly puzzled expressions have entranced us since one was shipped to a disbelieving Italy in the 1400s. It is an animal so peculiar in appearance that its scientific name - Giraffa camelopardalis - reflects its perceived similarity to both a camel and… a leopard.
Lions are one of the most sought-after sightings on a safari. The excitement of seeing them is somehow connected to our primal fascination with them. Thanks to their reassuringly feline name – Panthera leo – we know we are technically dealing with 'cats' but lions are startlingly huge, almost bear-sized. Their muscular, barrel-chested bodies and arrogantly jutting chins let everyone know who the boss is – and it's not the 2-legged creatures wearing sunglasses!
We're often asked by travellers what they should be booking by when to avoid disappointment. There's nothing worse than having your heart set on doing a southern Africa safari with your kids for the Easter holidays and thinking you have oodles of time to arrange it all, only to find that all the best accommodation was booked up months previously. It's no fun staring at the four walls of your living room when you could've have been watching endangered wild dogs on the hunt or a leopard snoozing peacefully in the branches of an acacia tree…
October in Africa and the weather is in charge. In East Africa the short rains have begun and the landscape replies with a blanket of fresh green grass. South of the Zambezi, however, it has barely rained since May and animals mill around the remaining waterholes.
Johannesburg is Africa's economic powerhouse known to locals as Joburg, Jozi and Egoli (the 'city of gold'). The city is modern and enormous, sprawling in all directions as the heart beat of commerce demands more offices, houses and malls. About 60 kilometres away lies Pretoria, which is the seat of administrative government in South Africa and a very pretty city with jacaranda-lined streets. Both of these urban centres are vibrant and cosmopolitan, linked by a fast-moving, multi-lane highway and the high-speed Gautrain, making it easy to explore the places that played a critical role in Nelson Mandela's life story or which honour his legacy.
September in Africa see temperatures climbing steadily and many safari destinations across the continent rapidly approaching their annual best.
Famous for its Kalahari setting, Botswana is generally a place of empty blue skies and dazzling sunshine. It does have a rainy season, however - called the Green Season - but don't worry too much about that word, 'rainy'. The absolute wettest part of the country records as much precipitation in a year as London or Melbourne do, while the rest of the country gets about enough to fill a coffee cup. You're not going to need to pack an umbrella. And, besides, nearly all the rain falls between December and April with February accounting for the bulk of it.

Hello Andy,
Many thanks for your answer. There is in fact a hardy Geranium(cranesbill)
called Apple Blossom and this is the one I was referring to...but I agree
it is very easy to get confused, which is another good reason for always
using Latin names.
Pelargonium zonale 'Apple Blossom' and Geranium x lindavicum 'Apple
Blossom' ..I hope this is better :-) and I hope my spelling wasn't off!
All the best from Ingrid in Sweden

MUNFORDVILLE — LaRue County senior Kelton Ford won the scoring battle over John Hardin senior Brandon Price on Friday night, but Price and the Bulldogs earned something more valuable – a date in the Boys' 5th Region Basketball Tournament final.
In a battle of region's two premier point guards, Ford scored a game-high 37 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Price's night wasn't bad as he had 32 points, eight assists and three rebounds to help the Bulldogs earn a second consecutive trip to the region championship.
After LaRue County took its only lead at 38-37 with 5:19 left in the third quarter, the Bulldogs took control with a 20-3 run en route to a 74-59 victory in the opening semifinal at Hart County High School.
"I don't care if he outscored me 37-2," Price said. "He's a heckuva player and it was just two great competitors wanting to win. But I think I got him with the win."
It marked the second consecutive year John Hardin has ended LaRue County's season in the region semifinals. Last year, the Bulldogs needed overtime to knock out the Hawks. This time, they wore the Hawks down and then pounced when the opportunity to put the game away presented itself.
"I thought we were able to wear them down," John Hardin coach Mark Wells said. "I thought our pressure finally started to take affect and we were able to turn over a few times. I thought they were tired and missed a few inside shots they made early in the game. I thought that was the key."
The seventh-ranked Bulldogs (27-3) advanced to the region final for the fifth time in the last nine years. They won the championships in 2006 and '12.
John Hardin, which won its 19th straight, led 31-25 at halftime, but the Hawks mounted a rally behind two 3-pointers from junior Kody Key-Close and seven points from Ford to grab their 38-37 lead.
The Bulldogs answered when senior forward Daveon Greene made a short jumper and junior forward Keon Williams, who had 12 points and eight rebounds, scored five straight points.
After a layup by Ford, Williams made two free throws and Greene converted an old-fashioned three-point play to push the lead to 49-41 after three quarters.
"I think we were up by five at halftime and we talked about expanding the lead," said Greene, who had 17 points and 11 rebounds. "They got the lead, but after that, we did a good job of not only keeping the lead but expanding the lead."
Junior guard Patrick Anderson made a layup off a turnover and then Price scored six consecutive points as the Bulldogs built a 57-41 lead with 5:23 left.
Ford hit a 3-pointer to close the gap to 13, but that's as close as the Hawks got as John Hardin sealed the win by making 13-of-21 free throws in the final 5 minutes.
"Our kids played their hearts out," LaRue County coach Paul Childress said. "We fell behind 13-2 early, but it's a testament to their fortitude coming back like that. We went toe-to-toe with them for a while, but with 2 or 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the gas light started to come on. We made a few mistakes and they capitalized on it.
"They finished strong," he added. "I take my hat off to John Hardin. Mark does a great job. When they got down, they didn't panic either. That's the sign of a good team."
After only turning the ball over six times in the first half, the Hawks had 10 in the final 16 minutes.
"That's a credit to our defense," Price said. "Our defense might have looked poor at times, but we were working real hard. You're not going to wear teams down in the first half, but it starts to work in the second half."
John Hardin jumped out to an 11-0 behind three 3-pointers from Price and a layup from Greene. The Hawks finally got going behind Ford, who scored 14 of the team's first 16 points to help trim the lead to 19-16 after one quarter.
LaRue County (21-8) tied the score at 22 on a jumper by senior Dustin Coulter, but senior Adryan Jackson made a layup, Price nailed a 3-pointer and Williams hit a runner to push the lead to 29-23 with 2:23 left before halftime.

The second book, following last year's My Brilliant Friend, featuring the two friends Lila and Elena. The two protagonists are now in their twenties. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila. Meanwhile, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. The two young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times, and drives them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the center of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women, paying the cruel price that this passage exacts.
About the Author

Monday, Nov 4, 2013
Bound by the confines of gender and finances, two young women take divergent paths in Elena Ferrante's The Story of a New Name, the second book in her "Neapolitan Novels" trilogy. Critic John Powers believes the bold, expansive series to be semi-autobiographical, a revelation from a secretive author who won't reveal her true name. More at NPR.org

Reebok is a 120-year-old brand, but it was only in the last 30 years that the sports apparel maker traded in its classic Union Jack logo for something new. Released in 1986, the vector logo abstracted the original Union Jack into a streak across a racing tack. It was meant to symbolize Reebok's transition into a performance brand, and as such, the company became heavily focused around striking licensing deals with professional athletes in the NFL and NBA.
Over time, though, growth across Reebok's line of products has slowed, with one major exception: Reebok's CrossFit range, which saw a 13% increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2013. Which is why the Reebok logo—a delta symbol—is now taking over the entire brand. The transition signifies a major shift in Reebok's brand strategies: pro athletes are out, and fitness junkies are in.
"A brand is something that constantly evolves, based on a new insight or an opportunity," says Yan Martin, vice president of global brand marketing at Reebok. "In the late '80s, Reebok was very, very strong in the world of professional sports, but the landscape changes, as has the way people approach physical activity. We wanted to sharpen Reebok's point of view around fitness to change with the times."
First unveiled in 2011 and designed internally, Reebok's Delta CrossFit logo is meant to symbolize the three pillars of positive self-change: mental, physical, and social. In many ways, these pillars represent the changes happening at Reebok as well. As the company has increasingly embraced CrossFit, yoga, dance, and aerobics as a means of growing the business, it has simultaneously abandoned sponsorships, such as a deal with the NFL that lapsed in 2012. Over time, what began as the logo of a sub-brand began to better represent the future of Reebok, much more than its 28-year-old vector logo.
"The more we looked at it, the more it seemed like the right symbol for today's brand purpose," says Martin. "The core philosophy of the fitness lifestyle is that people can change for the better, and that rang true to us. We really believe that, at the end of the day, Reebok's products should be about the benefit of fitness to everyday people, not about elevating athletes to new heights of unattainable prowess."
If there is criticism to aim at the new logo, it's that Reebok is hardly the first company to embrace the delta symbol's association with the concept of change and transformation. Whether you think its ubiquity makes it tired or a classic, there's no shortage of delta logos out there, from your recycling bin to the icon of Google Drive to the design printed on the back of your Delta airplane ticket.
But while the new Reebok logo might be a little drab and unoriginal—I personally prefer the vintage Union Jack, a mark which still adorns clothes in Reebok's lifestyle range of products—it is, at least, earnestly felt, and a good example of why the logos of companies change. It's not always a senior executive pulling the trigger in a blind attempt to remain relevant. Sometimes, companies really believe that a logo should represent what it is now.
That's not to say, though, that market forces haven't motivated Reebok's transition. In an interview with Bloomberg, Katja Erbe, brand director for Reebok in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, said that Reebok is embracing the delta because the brand is currently not at the top of people's minds like the two other big brands in the market [Nike and Adidas]." Doubling down on the delta logo is Reebok's big push to stop being an also-ran.

An Easy Holiday Feast with Rack of Pork
Wow holiday guests by serving a premium cut of meat that's effortless to prepare and full of flavor—an impressive rack of pork.
"Rack of pork is a new addition to the choices for a holiday entree," says Robin Kline, a registered dietitian and director of the Pork Information Bureau (PIB) for the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC). "As the centerpiece of the holiday meal, rack of pork will impress—and you won't spend all day in the kitchen."
Rack of pork is simply a bone-in pork loin roast with the chine bone (back bone) removed for easy carving, and the rib bones "Frenched"—extra meat removed for an elegant look. This cut is also used for crown roast of pork, which is two loins tied together to form a ring.
Preparing rack of pork is simple and doesn't require special equipment or slaving over the stove. For roasting, a moderate oven and a shallow pan are all the equipment needed.
"Roasting is a popular preparation technique because of its ease and elegance," says Rick Tramonto, chef-owner of Brasserie T in Northfield, Ill. "Roasting a rack of pork seals in juices and makes the most of the natural flavor of the meat."
Kline offers easy steps for preparing a roasted rack of pork: Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast in a 350 degree F. oven until internal temperature—measured by a meat thermometer—registers 155 degrees F.
For a festive presentation, Kline adds a bread crumb mixture seasoned with herbs, garlic and mustard.
Brief the Butcher—Place your order a week in advance to ensure your butcher has a rack for you. Most butchers will know that a rack of pork is a bone-in pork loin with the chine bone (back bone) removed. Ask the butcher to French the rib bones.
Size It Up—Count on one rib per person. A typical rack of pork will weigh about 4-5 pounds and have eight ribs, which should serve seven to eight.
Crown the Occasion—If you're serving a large group, convert a rack of pork into a crown roast. A crown roast is simply two racks tied together. Your butcher can prepare it for you, and include paper frills for a "finished" look.
Applaud the Oven—Roasting a rack of pork is easy. Place pork in shallow roasting pan with bones up. If tips of bones start to overly brown, cover with small pieces of foil.
Track Time—Like other fresh cuts of pork, rack of pork cooks quickly and is best when cooked to medium doneness. Plan on about 1-1/2 hours total roasting time.
Take Its Temp—To ensure tender and juicy pork, remove rack from oven when internal temperature—measured with a meat thermometer—reaches 155 degrees F. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Season pork with salt and pepper, as desired. Brush pork with 1/4 cup mustard. In medium bowl, combine remaining mustard with remaining ingredients. Press crumb mixture evenly over top of pork. Arrange rack of pork crumb side up in roasting pan. Roast for 1-1/2 hours, or until meat thermometer inserted into center of meaty part registers 155 degrees F. Let rest 10 minutes. Carve pork, cutting between ribs, and serve. Serves 8.

WIAA tournament report Thursday
PLAYER OF THE DAY: Diamond Stone, Whitefish Bay Dominican. The junior lived up to his billing, finishing with 30 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and seven blocks. He led the Knights in all four categories and made an impression on Brillion coach Pete Kittel.
"The thing I was really impressed with was how hard he ran the floor," he said. "I thought they got some easy baskets on us in the second quarter where he just outhustled us."
PLAY OF THE DAY: It was actually the play that wasn't. Cochrane-Fountain City trimmed a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit to a point and had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, but senior guard Cale Lisowski's shot just inside half court was just about an inch or two off the mark and hit off the right side of the rim. Nonetheless, it was the most dramatic finish of the day.
UNSUNG HERO:Dakota Lindgren, Thorp. The senior forward had such a big game (17 points, 16 rebounds, five blocks, five steals, four assists) that his free-throw shooting could get lost in the shuffle. The 56% shooter made 9 of 14 (64.2%) and hit 4 of 6 in the final 30 seconds to help seal the victory.
ATTENDANCE: The Thursday afternoon session drew 7,146. The evening session drew 7,500.

Leave Your Sleep
Macmillan, Nov 13, 2012 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 48 pages
This collection of classic children's poetry, adapted to music by Natalie Merchant, opens the door to a wondrous world filled with witches and fearless girls, blind men and elephants, giants and sailors and dancing bears. Leave Your Sleep features a daring and delightful selection, ranging from the beloved (e.e. cummings, Edward Lear, and Jack Prelutsky) to the undiscovered (the young Nathalia Crane). Natalie Merchant's brilliant musical renderings, selected from her highly praised album, share the stage with Barbara McClintock's richly imagined art to create a memorable reading, looking, and listening experience.

This collection of children's poetry is not simply repackaged by popular singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant. Instead, it is re-envisioned and beautiful illustrated by Barbara McClintock, which adds imagination and whimsy to each of these already rich poems. Ages 8 and up. Read full review
