Baltimore Orioles home to Red Sox in baseball betting action
Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles Odds
The Baltimore Orioles will look to bolster their win total and reward moneyline bettors when the Boston Red Sox invade Camden Yards on Tuesday.
For the Orioles, Wei-Yin Chen gets the ball, charged with keeping the Red Sox hitters off the base paths. He'll face Josh Beckett, 5-9 on the year.
View Boston vs Baltimore Odds and Stats.
Betting Line:
Baseball odds makers opened the Orioles as -119 moneyline favorites in this matchup. Over under bettors saw the number open at 8.5.
Power Rankings:
The Orioles - Red Sox odds would favor the Red Sox if the lines were set according to our power ranks. Baltimore is rated No. 14 in the current American League Odds Shark poll, while Boston is at No. 7 in the American League.
How They Match Up:
Offensively, the game matches up Baltimore's No. 10 ranked American League offense (4.2 runs per game) against a Red Sox defense and pitching staff that sits at No. 9 in the American League at 4.6 runs allowed per game. The Orioles have been averaging 8.4 hits per game, less than the Red Sox have managed so far this season (9.3 hits on average).
Baltimore owns the American League's No. 10 defense, allowing 4.6 men per game to cross the plate. That contrasts with Boston's American League No. 9-rated defense.
Boston won its last outing, a 14-1 result against the Indians on August 12. Bettors who backed the Red Sox at -151 on the moneyline won on the day, and the total score (15) sent OVER bettors to the payout window. Boston hopes solid pitching and defense that led to their last victory - a 12-strikeout performance from Jon Lester - will prevail again after their 14-1 victory against Cleveland at Progressive Field.
The Orioles were a 5-3 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Royals. That made winners of bettors who got Baltimore at -119 on the moneyline, while the total score (8) was good news for UNDER bettors. The Orioles grabbed a win last time out, defeating Bruce Chen and the Royals 5-3 on Sunday at Camden Yards.

Lenovo bets on new products to return to profit
Lenovo Group, brushing aside its second consecutive quarter in the red, has introduced new additions to its line of personal computers, delivering on a pledge to sharpen its business performance.
Chief executive Yang Yuanqing vowed last week that Lenovo would 'execute with speed, efficiency and focus' to drive innovation and return to profitability after posting a record quarterly net loss of US$264 million in the first three months of this year.
With an eye to challenging market leaders, the world's fourth-largest personal computer supplier has unveiled three additions to its IdeaPad-brand notebook computer family - the U350 and Y650 laptops and the S12 netbook.
'We've heard from consumers loud and clear about the need for affordable and extremely portable computing devices,' said Dion Weisler, a vice-president for business operations at Lenovo's Idea product group.
Mr Weisler said the new products meet demand for thinner and lighter personal computers with enhanced connectivity and extra-long battery life.
Notebook computers, which continue to drive growth in the personal computer industry, accounted for about 58 per cent of Lenovo's US$14.9 billion first-quarter revenue.
Chief financial officer Wong Wai-ming, however, said limited participation in the netbook segment and the consumer market outside China gave Lenovo a lower notebook market share in the first quarter.
The low-cost, internet-ready netbook is smaller than a standard laptop computer and has fewer applications. It is technically categorised as a mini-notebook.
'Despite a late start in netbooks, Lenovo has managed to garner up to 7 per cent of the market over the past quarter, demonstrating that it is making some headway in the consumer personal computer segment,' Macquarie Research analyst Patrick Yau said in a report.
Market analyst firm DisplaySearch estimated there were almost 6 million netbooks shipped in the first quarter, led by Taiwanese suppliers Acer and AsusTek Computer.
Mr Weisler said Lenovo's IdeaPad S12 netbook was the first in the industry to provide high-definition video and multimedia entertainment capabilities.

Sutro students donate to Relay for Life
June 6, 2007
Curves Dayton's Relay for Life Team received a donation of $22.50 from Sutro Elementary School first- and fourth-graders.
Students in Wanda Hanselman and Debbie Berris' first-grade class and fourth-graders from Heather Kallio and Janet Price's classes collected pennies for the cause. Penny rolls were handed out, and once a student filled a roll they received another.
"By helping others, we can see nice things happen in our own lives, isn't that right, class?" Hanselman asked her students.
It was another lesson in how children can make a difference, and also a way for children who have been touched personally by cancer to feel a sense of empowerment.
"I thought about all the sick people and that this is a way to help them," said Traci Thornton, 9. "I felt since my grandma had died of cancer, I should help out."
"I feel bad for all the people who are sick and wanted to help them," said Garrison Meza, 10. "I've had people in my family die, too."

Kaylee Avera, 10, saw her mother grieve the loss of her best friend.
"It feels good to help and I feel bad for those I can't help," she said.
The classes were presented with a certificate of achievement from Curves owner Linda Ennis. Curves also gave each child a Relay water bottle.
"Thanks for helping us reach our goal," Ennis said. "It was great of them to all help, and they are so darling!"

Putting It All Away
The long weekend was a perfect time to get started putting the Christmas trees away. The smaller ones come down first and are lined up to be fit into the closet until next year.
We've strung yards and yards of garlands over the years.
From clipping candles, to traditional glass mushrooms, it all gets tucked away into boxes and largely forgotten, until the next year when unwrapped gingerly and a new celebration begins.

it's interesting to me that we decorate our homes so beautifully, so ornately and then put it all away. i'm not inclined to do that too often during th rest of the year. hmmmmm. too bad. steven

There is a slight sadness in having to put away all the twinkie lights & glitter for another year. Just today I de-trimmed our tree, the lights come off and the tree goes back into its box tomorrow... :o( It's tempting to leave the twinkie lights around the living room window up a little longer... ;o) Happy Day, Golden West ((HUGS))

The putting away is my least favourite part! Especially when I notice a decoration I hadn't put up, such as the gold sea horses, and then have the urge to! Your decorations are beautiful - I especially like the toadstools - just waiting for a fairy or two.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift;
That's why it's called a present.

|Massive electric switches
They are fitted with Hydrocaps to catalyze the hydrogen generated while charging back into pure water, greatly reducing the addition of distilled water, and keeping the interior safe from the hydrogen gas.
The electricity is routed through a knife switch array to allow changing the operating voltage from 60VDC for the drive motor to 12VDC for operating house loads (lights, fridge, pumps, etc.)

Charging the bank is by a combination of solar panels, tow-behind generator and shore power through a Xantrex 100A inverter/charger.
This is probably too much info for those who don't care, not enough for those with a technical bent, but it is a short overview of the drive system.

Thanksgiving Wishes
We've been so incredibly busy that I really haven't been blogging all that much. And now that the holidays are upon us, I fear that I might be even a little more scarce. Hopefully not. I've got so many things to share and blog about!
However, I wanted to take a moment and share a Thanksgiving blessing and wishes for you and your families for a very Happy Thanksgiving.
We Give Thanks
Our Father in Heaven,
We give thanks for the pleasure
Of gathering together for this occasion.
We give thanks for this food
Prepared by loving hands.
We give thanks for life,
The freedom to enjoy it all
And all other blessings.
As we partake of this food,
We pray for health and strength
To carry on and try to live as You would have us.
This we ask in the name of Christ,
Our Heavenly Father.

We drove for about 45 minutes before the sun started to come up, so I pulled off the freeway at Red Rock exit to get a picture. Since my phone doesn't take panoramic pictures, I took several and you will have to use your imagination to stitch them together. Yeah, good luck with that.
This is looking north,
This one is looking east down #10
This one southeastish, yes that's right I used ish as a pronoun modifier....
This one is almost due south. The mountains are in Mexico.
Now we look west in our general direction of travel. In the background is Picacho Peak.
Although I am used to mountains, being from the NorthWest, they are not mountains like these. Stark, rocky and forbidding with Saguaro and other types of cactus to poke the unwary.
Starkly beautiful though, especially with the sun coming up and the open road ahead. Strong wind blowing across the desert though and temperatures in the 40's. I am glad we weren't on the scooters.
We stopped at a rest area about 30-40 miles farther on. The sun was farther up now and it was starting to warm up a little. You can see the Saguaro in the hills across the way.
All the Arizona rest areas we have stopped at so far are built on the same pattern.
Restrooms to the left, info. and vending to the right.
There are neatly manicured grounds and xeriscaping to keep water usage low.
More mountain pictures, these ones looking north.
Looking eastward toward the rising sun. The grounds are neatly raked.
The last one of this series, looking towards the south. Again not the mountains I am used to seeing.
We entered Phoenix with the morning rush hour. It is nothing like rush hour in Vancouver or Seattle. We slowed down from 75 mph, to about 45 for several miles, then it was back to 75 again.
Many of my readers already know of my predilection for the poetic sweep and engineering beauty of overpasses. I am equally sure that you will either forgive me for showing off a few more, or shake your heads piteously at my foibles.
Oh yeah Baby!!!
We stopped briefly in Buckeye to get gas and check e-mails, get a closer up view of a Saguaro then it's back on the freeway. If you think that we are not seeing much other than super slab, you're right. That's okay though, we're planning on stopping for a couple days in San Francisco to recharge and sightsee.
More stark mountainous territory. It's either flat and dry or rockily vertical.
You see my point. The light seems somehow different here, or maybe it's the makeup of the rock. everything seems to be focused in muted tones of blue, green or brown.
One last AZ rest stop, here is my Scooterchick at the car.
Here is a warning sign that they have posted in all the rest areas. It is sufficient to keep me on the pathways. Although I know intellectually that a scorpion sting or a rattlesnake bite are very rarely fatal, I am unwilling to put that knowledge to practical use.
A few short miles later we were crossing the Colorado River and entering California. Just into CA there was a truck weigh scale where all traffic was diverted off the highway and passenger cars were scanned for anyone who looked illegal.
Although there were 125 mi. to our destination, we bored on and slightly less than 2 hrs. later arrived at a Comfort Inn where we were expected.
We turned in to the driveway, off Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs and checked in.
There was a lovely little water feature in the portico. I love the sound of running water.
The architecture was atypical southwestern, and we got checked in with no delay.
It was early, about 2:30 when we got the car unloaded, and we decided to go for a bit of a walkabout as neither Pat nor I had spent time in Palm Springs before. Her she is sporting a new hat. What do you think. A little unwieldy for travel usage perhaps.
It is so unusual to see lots of color in the plantings even at the end of January. I have absolutely, positively no idea what type of bush this is, but I like it!!!
We decided to walk up Palm Canyon Drive. This is the old Palm Springs main drag. It was time for some picture taking and a bite to eat.
Again with the flowers at the end of January. How cool is that? I have experienced the same thing in the Angeleno basin which we will be circumventing before 10 a.m. tomorrow. It is freeway the whole way so I anticipate no problems. Since the Los Angeles basin has a population of over 13.7 million people, a wide berth is indicated at least on this trip.
Yeah, I'm digging the floral excess.
Here is a passageway between 2 buildings, that I also felt was uberkewl. Don't ask me why, I have no explanation.
Here is a shady courtyard. Nice and inviting, but we kept walking.
There seem to be a plethora of fountains in this area. I love em; Give me more!!
Here is a statue outside a gallery of art. He looks like he feels the way I feel sometimes when I am presenting flowers to my beloved Scooterchick.
There were a lot of eateries along Palm Canyon. There are at least three in this picture. I tried to make sure I got the upstairs balcony and Maracas restaurant in the background.
Here is another fountain. This one is a bit more rustic in design, and there is eatery number three in the background.
Another fountain with a well known local sitting on the edge. Why it's none other than ex-mayor Sonny Bono, reproduced in bronze.
Another view of Maracas restaurant. We didn't fancy Mexican food this evening.
Here is a view up Palm Canyon with a local theater in the background.
Here is an enormous statue of Marilyn Monroe. What connection she had with Palm Springs I do not know, but she is certainly connected to Palm Springs permanently now. I tried to get a shot with no people pollution, but was unsuccessful.
This is the theater I referred to a few pictures back. They had a pitchman out front, who tried to lure us in for a performance. He also showed us a glossy brochure full of scantily clad burlesque performers. I informed him that we could not be less interested.
We finally made a decision on where to eat, and stopped in to Zin American Bistro. here is Scooterchick perusing the menu. What to order?............hmmmmmm.
I thought I would start with Oysters. I am an unabashed fan of oysters, either Rockefeller, fried or any other way. They were served with a Louisiana caviar sauce and lemon.........scrumptious!
Pat started out with Carpaccio. It was Beef tenderloin sliced thin enough to read a newspaper through. it was served with a white truffle aioli. It was melt in the mouth tender.
I had a burger of Kobe beef on a ciabatta with fries. The fries were crisp, and the burger delicious.
After that repast, we had to walk around to settle our stomachs. We stopped in an art gallery to browse and carried on towards our hotel.
This is the back of a large eatery. I like the Spanish accent architecture.
As you can see it's a fairly large establishment.You can see the far end as a low rise halfway down the block. They have been serving comidas frescas since 1958.
Here is another hotel. This one is a Holiday Inn. I like the style and the landscaping.
And finally we have a glamour shot of us in front of the fountain at said hotel. We walked to the end of the block and we were home. We are a good looking young couple aren't we? I am almost sure I have said that before.......
Thanks for following along. I'll check in with you tomorrow...........further along the road.

In what has become the pattern to our Saturday nights, we went out to eat this evening, then wound up at Drew's house to watch a movie on TV. Dinner tonight was at La Casa Latina. Place got good write ups in Newsday and the Times, so when we snagged a Groupon we had to try it. I love Latin American food, liked it even before our cruise 2 years ago -- we made port in Belize, Roatan and Cozumel, and were fed a ton of rice and beans in each port. Our meal tonight began with delicate fish tacos, followed by pupusas with salsa and a vinegary slaw. Salad was fresh and crisp. I ordered the Honduran platter -- shell steak, rice, beans and a plantain accompanied by something called crema - sort of like sour cream but with a vinegar undertone. It also came with a fried egg, which I gave to Drew. It was supposed to come with avocado, but they forgot to give it to me and I never missed it. Drew ordered the Parrillada Mixta -- steak, chicken and sausage with rice and beans. I seldom order dessert, but I had heard that they make their own flan. Turns out it's a cheese flan, firmer in texture than most custards, covered in caramel sauce and served with fresh whipped cream. We shared one dessert, and that was plenty for us. Maybe next time we will skip the meal and just order the flan and coffee! Tonight's movie is Iron Man II. Drew is educating me so that when The Avengers opens in a few weeks I won't be lost. Loved Iron Man, loved Thor and really loved Captain America. Haven't seen The Hulk, but I remember the tv show where Bill Bixby used to turn into Lou Ferrigno. So I'm looking forward to The Avengers.

Pupusas! A good friend travels to El Salvador several times a year and she raves about them.
The rest sounds so good, too. :)

Pupusas have become street fair food here in NY. You can find them next to the sausage and peppers and zeppole. But these were so much better!

After a hectic shooting schedule for his upcoming film Bang Bang, Hrithik managed to get some family time to unwind and chill.
His ex-wife Sussanne has already moved on with her life and so has Hrithik and this fun family outing says it all!
The actor along with his parents Rakesh and Pinky Roshan were recently snapped outside a posh eating joint in Mumbai, after dinner with a friend.
However, Hrithik's sons Hridhaan and Hrehaan were nowhere to be seen.
Hrithik also took a moment to pose with a star-struck fan and her little baby.
Here are the pictures!

Relish your delicious, carb-y moment and then turn your back on it and move on! You are getting so skinny- one moment won't undo all of that hard work!

I am confused. What is SO BAD about Golden Grahams? HONESTLY?

they're not really *that* bad. but they have a LOT of carbs. and I'm on a carb diet when calories don't matter at ALL but if you eat a few too many carbs in a day (sometimes only like 5 grams of carbs more than normal!) then whatever thing going on in your brain that helps you lose weight just stops and it takes like a week to turn it back on again. There's like 90 carbs in two bowls of golden grahms! And I've only been eating about 40 carbs/day! So far so good, looks like, though. haven't stopped losing weight yet.

I am excited that our soldiers have been in contact with our team members and we are learning a little bit more about them. I hope to be adding pictures from team members soon too! So give it a gander and let me know what you think:

We started Meri's send-off to El Paso with a group dinner at Vietnamese restaurant Nguyen's. I had the misfortune of eating small box of Bagel Bites before Meri texted everyone about getting dinner first, so I stuck to sushi, which is the smartest choice for me at Nguyen's as their portions are huge and Paul heckles me every single time my judgment fails and I order the pad thai.
After the waitress found out about Meri's move, she got a complimentary desert with the plate decorated with cowboy boots. It was adorable and amazing and we devoured it as a group.
And the rest of the night was spent just pretty much dicking around and drinking. We played a couple hilarious rounds of kings, Paul acted like an ass and sucked up to me so hard the next day that he offered to take me to see the new Oz movie, even though it looks like a silly child's movie and he doesn't want to go.
It was one of those nights that in some ways was uneventful but was nearly perfect (Paul ruined it for me, that's how much of an ass I thought he was). But the company was great and everyone seemed to have a good time, and it was a nice low-key send-off, I think.
Best of luck to Meri in El Paso. I look forward to her tweets.
The next day, Brandon and I saw Eddie Izzard in Pittsburgh. It was our second time seeing him and while I think he was funnier the last time we saw him (I actually cried), he's still my favorite comedian, I still laughed the whole time, and I still had a great time.
Shout-out to the man two rows in front of us who threw the middle finger after a joke about the Tea Party. I'm not sure what you were expecting, sir, seeing an openly transvestite and liberal comedian.
He didn't return after intermission, but that just meant a couple in the same row stole his and his wife's seats and got a better view, so hooray for them! Plus it's always a miserable experience to be sitting near someone who isn't enjoying the show and is being a disrespectful ass about it.
Brandon and I stuck around for a post-show Q&A he did out in the lobby, which was pretty cool. I wish people would've asked more creative questions–like, you know, ones he hasn't answered plenty in interviews already–but I'm sure some people just want to chance to speak to him, which I get. I was content just to listen to him and see him, especially outside of a performance setting.


text: Hi. I've just bought Studio 15HD to edit my family home videos. Had previously transferred all onto DVD-R from VHS tapes (via Pioneer DVD Recorder). Problem is that the software only seems to copy the first part of each clip. For example I can only import the first 20 seconds of a clip that is 3 minutes long. I can play the DVD satisfactorily in both my computer and a number of DVD players, so I think the recording is ok. Would appreciate any help.

CA presents arts awards
The Chesapeake Academy (CA) Excellence in the Arts Award is given at the discretion of the fine and performing arts faculty to a student who exhibits excellence in the visual and performing arts and who gives his/her all to the arts in and out of the classroom.
This year two Chesapeake Academy students were selected to receive this recognition for their work in the visual arts, and one student was selected for his work in music. Olivia Smith and Jordan Abbott, both from the Class of 2017, were selected by Art Teacher Sonja Smith because of their "engagement, excitement and initiative in the visual arts."
One student, Oliver McAninch, also from the Class of 2017, received the award for his contributions in music. "Oliver McAninch consistently contributed to the school's musical and dramatic performances with his obvious talent and enthusiasm," explained CA teacher Beth Somers.

In an effort to reduce the amount of energy the population of India was consuming, the government initiated a program that distributed LED light bulbs to consumers to help reduce their electricity consumption. What this program saw was an incredible reduction in kilowatt hours used by the average consumer.
With the second largest population in the world, India has had to be innovative at finding ways for their resources to be used wisely. What they discovered through this program is that when used in conjunction with other energy saving products, LED lighting can make a significant difference in energy consumption.
If this program was applied to other areas of the world, including the United States and China, the two largest energy users in the world, the consumption of energy could be reduced, having a positive impact on the environment and overall consumption rates.
A simple change in light bulb choices in private, commercial, and government sectors could change the way that the world uses energy.
A World of Consumption
If we want to understand how the world is consuming energy and relate it to lighting, we need to look at electricity usage. The Indian energy efficiency program involved 770 million LED bulbs used to cut its energy consumption.
But across the world, we use 19,320,360,620 MWh of electricity a year. This works out at 313 MWh per person per year.
The top electricity users by total usage are:
The most important stats to consider here are the per capita electricity usage statistics. America uses 1,683 MWh per capita compared to 101 MWh in India and 458 MWh in China.
To put this into perspective, if the per capita electricity usage in China was the same as America, China would use more energy than the rest of the world combined.

So fairly early this morning, I'm sitting at my desk at work, looking at my computer monitor (because that's what I do when I'm at work), when I see something moving out of the corner of my eye. I tell myself that that's impossible, and myself answers back, "Dude, I'm serious about this!" So I look over and there's a mouse starting to make his way up my wire book crates.
Yeah, there was a mouse.
On my desk.
And I was completely wigged out by it, not because I was afraid of it or anything but because a) I don't want it getting in my stuff and b) what if it makes a run at me?
Let me just repeat: yuck.
So I wheeled my chair back and just looked at it, dumb-founded. Fortunately, it noticed me looking at it (good thing about prey animals) and decided it was time to move on. So it runs across the back of my desk and goes down the crack (thank God I'd already wheeled back or I think I would've lost it at that point) and into my neighbor's cubicle.
I got up and walked over there to see if I could see it, but it had disappeared. "Dude, just so you know, there might be a mouse in your cubicle." He was a little more disturbed by this than I had expected. He's usually the guy in charge of killing the bugs for all of the girly-girls down here, so I didn't think it would bother him too much. I think it was because I told him that it could walk on our (fabric-covered) cubicle walls. I can't say that I blame him much. Mice on the floor are one thing. Mice that could launch themselves onto any part of your body are freaky!
Of course, our conversation attracted the attention of some co-workers, including one of the supervisors, C. She called the head of the center and he's going to get an exterminator to come out, so I guess that's the last we'll probably see of that little guy.
The weirdest thing is that I'm not 100% sure it was a mouse, because it looked bigger than I think of mice being. When I said that, C. really freaked out. "Like a rat?" she asked. "No, more like a gerbil," I told her (which was true). So now they think I'm nuts.

Patio Dining
Posted by tinako on April 1, 2010
It was hot today, so no oven. My parents came over and we ate on the patio. I made Peanutty Noodles: for 3 adults and 2 kids I cooked 4 bundles of udon according to the package directions, microwaved about a quart of finely-chopped broccoli, and microwaved a pound of tofu in two batches. I let all that cool and made some Spicy Peanut Sauce, and then just tossed it all together. Forgot to take a picture, but it was good.
I also made steamed swiss chard and Spicy Tempeh Sushi.
Dessert was Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. I decided to throw in the whole 12 oz package of tofu, since that 3 oz doesn't keep, but I wouldn't do that again. It just didn't taste quite as sweet or light as before. But it was still good.

text: Kathy: the weather. It was surprisingly cool, due to a typhoon passing through Asia. Also, the service. Unbelievable! If it weren't for the service, we would have missed our bus to Ota city. In the airport, the immigration line was watched very carefully. When it was found to be too long, half the line was ushered to another section of the airport, where a whole new set of booths were opened just for us! Everywhere we have gone, people have been polite, kind, and helpful. Yesterday, I got the chance to use my broken Japanese to open memberships at Livr@, a very cool Internet café/library. Again, the service was impeccable. Even people who work what seem like useless jobs to us, like parking attendants at shopping mall lots, work dutifully and respectfully. You don't get the attitude and bored faces you often see in Canada. It's really great.

Reason # 457.
Last night was great fun. One of Great Scott's former-students-now-turned-friend-to-us-both came for dinner and the evening. Jennifer's on break from her journalism studies in Columbia (Mizzou) where she started the blog Wonderfully Ill-Composed for a class. (Now that the semester's over, she's open for topic ideas to continue blogging, BTW. You can leave hellos and suggestions for her here.) She was fun company: gentle and conversant with the girls as well as us, entertaining, and equally willing to share pictures from her summer in Colorado or grate cheese for the lasagne. We will take her any time we can get her.
I'll leaves the details of Jennifer's visit to Great Scott to post on Grumpy Teacher since she was his student. It's only fair that he have writing dibs on her, I admit. I will mention, though, that she left with us a Magnetic Poetry Calendar. It was long after midnight before I was able to tear myself away from those fascinating little magnetic words, my task complicated by the fact that both Great Scott and our younger daughter had already composed pieces of their own which I was loath cannibalize. At last I tottered off to bed, a fond and sleepy smile upon my face and two veritable works of poetic genius upon the board:
apples sing in that gray weather
birds spin cloud to fire
as they fly__the season
can bloom or ice__all month
you and I look out at sun
on storm__we flower through
fall rain and melting light
have a buttered pumpkin popsicle
here__eat it__smile too
For good company and ghastly composition, Jennifer, we are in your debt. Thank you. :)

Over 120 Muslim scholars and Imams from around the world have signed an open letter addressed to the "fighters and followers" of the Islamic State (IS), denouncing them as un-Islamic and explaining to them the true meaning of 'Islam' in a meticulously written 18-page theological case.
Relying heavily on the Quran and its verses, the letter released on Wednesday blasts the extremist ideology of the militants as the hardliner group continues to baffle the world with its heinous crimes of beheading, mass killing, rape and so on.
The letter explains in detail that the teachings of Quran and Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad ought to be interpreted as a whole, and Muslims should refrain from picking and choosing verses to suit their personal opinion and outlook, particularly while issuing fatwas.
It also further explains that Islam prohibits torture and the killing of innocents or other "people of the scripture" like Christians and Yazidis.
The authors of the detailed letter also raised their objection on how the IS declared itself a Caliphate with the support of only a few thousand extremist supporters. "It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims," they write.
The letter is signed by renowned Imams and Islamic scholars from around the world, including from the UK, Egypt, Jordan, Dubai, Morocco, Yemen, the UAE, Palestine, Pakistan, Indonesia, Syria, Iraq, the US, and many other nations.
The letter, when translated into English, will still sound alien to most Americans, analysts who have read the letter, note.
"The letter is written in Arabic. It uses heavy classical religious texts," Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations in Washington told the Religion News Service.
"This letter is not meant for a liberal audience," he said adding that even mainstream Muslims may find it difficult to understand the letter, which has sought to explain the philosophy of Islam "point-by-point" to refute the ideologies of IS and the violence it has perpetrated.

"Religious and Ritualized Landscapes of Iron Age North Central Eurasia"
ABSTRACT: Animal Style Art (ASA), an iconographic style expressed on monuments and material culture, is a geographically widespread phenomenon in north central Eurasia during the Iron Age (ca. 1,000 BCE – 100 CE). Frequently depicted elements of this style include composite animals composed of animal elements fused together to create a new mythical animal; a stylized geometric design within the animal; and an interaction of some kind (e.g., one figure attacking another, figures standing nearby, single animal).
The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the possibility that ASA constitutes evidence for a pan-regional religion in north central Eurasia during the Iron Age. Systematic study of ancient texts, ethnography, archaeological remains, and a detailed stylistic analysis of the complex elements of ASA, have all contributed to this research. This analysis is an artifact-focused macro-scale (continental) study of ASA, breaking down the cultural contexts as well as the geographical and chronological distribution in which it occurs, and the elements of the style itself, analyzing patterns of occurrence and similarity throughout north central Eurasia.
This has been accomplished by the creation of a database, specifically designed as a museum curation tool and as a Geographic Information System (GIS) resulting in a dataset of 4,633 catalog lots (a single object or set). These data contribute to the identification of internal patterns in the expression of this iconographic style between regions of north central Eurasia and is inferred as evidence for symbolic expression of religious belief. This claim is evaluated in a variety of ways focusing on three themes: mobility, political structure and social complexity, and religious belief.
This first attempt at continental scale expression of symbolic systems directly tied to conceptual metaphors and religious belief has resulted in the preliminary identification of a religious landscape among all the regions, to varying degrees throughout the Iron Age. These findings help explain the widespread distribution of ASA in north central Eurasia during the Iron Age.

State Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, and others in Olympia continue to get the victim/villain/hero scenario wrong (TNT, 4-25).
They vilify teachers forced to physically protest against efforts to deny schoolchildren their constitutional right to an adequate education - forced because certain legislators seem not responsive to any other message. The true victims are the children, the teachers and principals, the schools and school districts and, ultimately, society as a whole.
The denial of an adequate education is a denial of a basic human right, a denial of the freedom to become a fully contributing member of our community, and thus is a takeaway from all of us. In short, it's just plain wrong.
The state Supreme Court long ago decided who the villain is in this story. I, for one, believe the teachers and others who protest are the heroes. That's a role they would happily share with anyone else, even their legislative representatives.

This is the other card I made yesterday for my neighbor. I just love the look of the ornament punch for a vase. It's too cute. Whoever came up with that idea is brillant. I also love the colors on this card.
I started with a Very Vanilla card base and layered it with Rich Razzleberry. Then I put on a piece of green from the Cottage Wall collection and then a piece of Razzleberry flowered dsp. I then wrapped a strip of Old Olive Satin ribbon around the layers before putting them on my card base. I punched an ornament from the Cottage Wall DSP and then cut a small strip from the bottom of it to form the vase. The leaves are from Just Believe and the flowers in the vase are stamped from the Punch Potpourri set and punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch. I put them on with dimensionals. I layered the Very Vanilla with the vase and flowers on to a piece of Rich Razzleberry and adhered that to the card. I punched a scallop circle with the 2 3/8 " Scallop Circle Punch and then stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla and cut it out with the scallop circle punch. I sponged around the Very Vanilla pieces with Old Olive before mounting. I really like the way it turned out.
Thanks for stoppin in!
Hope your night is blessed!

Reflections on quality of education
We should corporatise our education in the private sector, more so our higher education which requires huge money to cater to its huge needs unlike the school education. And if we have to have private sector participation in higher education (as the public sector can't bear all the burden) we can't but think of the corporate sector which only is capable of attracting huge amounts from all sections of the society unlike all others
President Pranab Mukherji has called for focussed attention and intervention of all the seekers and stakeholders of quality education, namely the policy-makers, academics, industrialists, endowments creators, parents, students and the enlightened citizens to bring about a qualitative change in our higher education which, according to him, has been of late very much deteriorating.

Liz, Kip and Munro
"OH MY GOD!" Liz didn't care if Kip heard her or not. She had Munro all to herself in their bedroom, and she had to let it out. She had to. Kip was driving her crazy. Evidently, he'd moved in with them.
It was just temporary, wasn't it? It lasted the entire summer or so it felt. Kip still hadn't found a job. On the upside, he could stay home with Cole while she and Munro went to work. At first, she was scared to do it, but he'd promised he'd call if he were unsure of anything. Sometimes, he called just to chat.
"You know, we're doing a good thing. This is what Cole needs." Munro simplified it for her. Kip was after all Cole's dad.
"But..but we're babysitting him, you know. What if he never finds a job?" Liz was about to go bonkers. Then who'd get the baby?
"You know, jobs are pretty hard to find now." Munro gave her a hug as they sat next to each other on the bed.
"God, he's so lonely, Munro." Liz knew she was whining. She felt bad about his breakup with Gem. He never talked about her, but she knew he missed her. Liz could see the depression seeping in. "I'm gonna call her." She had to have her phone number somewhere. It was late here, but it might be morning where Gem was. She jerked out her cell and looked to find her number.
"Are you sure you should do this?" Munro looked at her as if it were the worst idea ever.
"Yes." Liz wasn't sure what she'd say, but she needed to talk to Kip's ex. "Hi." Liz smiled as if that would make her sound happy and friendly. "Uh, Gem, how are you?"
"Oh, you know, I-I thought you'd want to know about...Kip." Liz kept smiling.
"What about Kip?" There was a concern in her voice.
"Uh, well...uh, I ..I just want to say, I..I never ever meant to break you two up. I didn't." Liz bit her bottom lip. She squinted hard wondering if she should say it. "Look, you are the best thing that ever happened to him. Really. And if..if you still have it in your heart...God, Kip needs you. He so needs you, right now."
It was quiet then.
"Hullo." Liz was afraid Gem had hung up.
"I'm..I'm still here..." Gem finally managed. "I..I just don't know what to say."
"Well, if its over. I understand. I don't want to make you..feel bad..its just..well, you were so good for him. Really, you were, and if its all because of the baby, well, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Liz knew she'd said more than enough. "But he's here. He's always here. And maybe you two could just talk."
"I see." Gem told Liz that she was on holiday in Paris.
Liz gritted hard. Who would want to leave Paris for Kip?

Recruiting AppSec Talent
Back to list of all Outcomes
Original Working Session content: Recruiting AppSec Talent
Suggested Outcomes
- Sample career paths to guide incoming AppSec Professionals
- Typical AppSec jobs and their duties and requirements
- Recruiter's guide
- Specific guidelines for job postings
- List of suggested next steps for AppSec Managers looking for long-term growth of their team
- A quick "Joel Test" for AppSec
Synopsis and Takeaways
We discussed the gap between companies' needs to recruit talented AppSec people, and attracting the best AppSec people to work at their company. The Joel Test is a quick indicator of Development culture: an irresponsible, sloppy test to rate the quality of a software team. We adapted the Joel Test to be a quick indicator of a company's AppSec culture. The test's purpose is to help companies attract the right talent and help talent to find the right company
First draft of the AppSec Joel Test (in no specific order):
- Does the company fund ongoing education for AppSec hires?
- Do developers undergo periodic AppSec training?
- Do AppSec people have a quiet working environment?
- Are there both offense and defense teams; do they work together?
- Can the AppSec team delay release (or fix) a new version or product?
- Is the AppSec team involved throughout the development lifecycle process?
- Can I access developers directly?
- Are security bugs treated like functional bugs?
- Is there some form of SDL / Maturity model / or other process in place?
- Can AppSec people choose their own tools (paid for by the company)?
- Is there a dedicated Incident Response team?
- Does the company contribute to Open Source and community efforts (or support personal contributions)?
- Joel Spolsky's Guide to Hiring Technical Talent: - Hitting the High Notes - Finding Great Developers - The Guerrilla Guide to Interviewing

We process most all of our own game meat. We had acquired an 'older' model (1960)grinder and had been using it for several years. It has always been a little challenging to get it all done. Well we bit the bullet, so to speak and went to Alaska Butcher Supplies for help. I thought that we were going to have to get a new grinder, thinking that they were going to tell us that we were not able to get parts for the old one. One of the first things they asked was when the blade and cutter were last replaced. As far as we knew they were never replaced, just sharpened once in a while. Well we bought a complete set of NEW blades and WOW what a big difference they made. We ground and packaged 80lbs in a hour! We were very surprised and happy.
So, if anyone as grinding their own game meat, and your blades/cutters have not been replaced for a while. check them out. It might make a big difference!

- Former Chief Registrar of the judiciary, Gladys Shollei is a bitter woman.
A seat-sharing plan by Kalenjin elders in Uasin Gishu County is the latest threat to Gladys Shollei's plans to run for the Women rep seat.
READ ALSO: Elders expose governor's secret Ksh 2m endorsement meeting set for this Friday 24
Shollei found herself locked out of the race for Women Rep title based on where she hails from.
Led by Major (Rtd) John Seii, the elders met in Eldoret and announced that the woman rep candidate will come from Eldoret south, which comprises Kesses and Kapseret constituencies.
READ ALSO: FINALLY! This is the ONE THING Uhuru does right that Raila has NEVER complained about
This decision favors a candidate from Eldoret South who has already launched her campaigns as well.
In a desperate move, Shollei has resorted to piggy backing on the incumbent governor's campaigns just so she can get support from the Nandi community, but this has since been rejected by Mandago supporters who are against her candidature for the Women Rep seat.

With the outgoing Women Rep for the region Eusila Ngeny declaring she will not defend her seat, as she plans to vie for the Soy parliamentary seat instead.
In a recent meeting at her home, Shollei pleaded with the residents to elect her saying, "I am asking you humbly to employee me as your woman representative in the next parliament. Give your blessings, support and I will not let you down."
"It will be a job you will have given me. It will be you employing me and not Willy Mutunga or any other person. I will tell you what I will be able to do and you will question me on my performance," she said.
READ ALSO: Jubilee governor accused of having affair with his top board member after he posted this photo
Shollei was hoping she would stand a chance at getting the position but with the elders' decision, this may not come to pass.
She now has to square it out with other opponents including Mary Chepseba, a former magistrate, Emily Kogos of Moi University and Ruth Maraba who is a social worker in the county.
READ ALSO: This amazing thing happened just before NASA rally in Kisumu
However, Shollei still faces even bigger hurdles, what with the ongoing court case after her sacking from the Judiciary in 2013 over alleged abuse of office.
She and six other judicial officers were charged with irregularly purchasing former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga's house at a whopping Ksh 310 million, and was released on a cash bail of Ksh 600,000.

So Christmas is over....Living in a small town of Northern India, one would never know how big it is but thanks to a plethora of News channel and their over-enthusiatic reporters, one knows, that it's is big now,even in India .
Amidst all this, in an even smaller town or rather village, there was a man getting ready to do something that did eventually manage to catch the attention of a national news channel. We have heard a lot of hue and cry from various corners against the practice of animal scarifice. Yet, very few people know about the practice of human sacrifice that still goes on at some places, though now it is more of a representation than the actual thing.
A village fair called Bhund, in Rohru of Shimla District, H.P., India was the setting of this human sacrifice. The man, in the center of it all ,was preparing the rope that would be tied across two cliffs, for one year.it was he and he alone who had to make the rope from a special kind of grass. He would walk over it, or die to his death if he failed to do so. Most of it was in the papers yet hardly any voices were raised against the thing actually taking place. In fact ppl were eagerly waiting-n-watching to see if the man survived his walk.
In the past, the man was to die and there was no other option. This was because the rope was not ony tied across two cliffs but it was tied at a steep angle and no one could really walk that. It was a special caste from which they used to choose one man for the dying and that caste had to do no work. it was the village folk who took care of the families. Fortunately this time they had adequate safety measures for the man who walked the tight rope and he survived. But its just a pointer at the varied colours that life takes.
Now about Ghosts. There is a very famous story by Ruskin Bond ("The man with no face ") which is set in the forests behind Bishop Cotton School, Shimla. I got a chance to study there for a couple of years and trust me even today the woods seem eerie if you happen to be crossing them in the late hours. But the story is just that, a story. There actually was no man without a face. Yet recently in a part of Shimla there have been reportings of people seeing a ghostess ( a female ghost, surely they must have both sexes). How did they know it was a Ghost? The same old theory about a ghost having his/her feet in the wrong direction. I seriously dont believe these stories but the people who claim to have seen the ghost are pretty well educated and pretty convinced about what they saw.
We have all heard about mediums. Now there is a place caled Lafu Ghati in Himachal. And in that place lives a man who talks to the dead. I talked to some people who visited that man and they have come back more than satisfied. They claim that they didnt tell the man anything and he just uttered some names on his own, that belonged to the dead from their family. He just asked them who they wanted to talk to, and viola the the medium would take on the role of that person and talk to them. He not only speaks in the native language of the deceased but some claim that even the accent is the same. In one instance even the police seeked his help and solved a case. Believe it or not!!

Conventional sales continue increase; now represent over half of home sales
Conventional sales accounted for more than half of all sales this month. Since June 2008, SAR has kept track of three types of sales (REO, short sale, conventional). This began when the MLS allowed advanced search criteria to include these types of sales. REO sales reached their highest point in October 2008 when they accounted for 1,533 (or 67.2%) sales, compared to 168 (8.9%) and 450 (23.9%) for short sales and conventional sales, respectively. The breakdown of sales for this month was 200 REOs (11.6%), 611 short sales (35.4%) and 915 conventional sales (53%). Conventional sales have nearly doubled since January 2011 when they accounted for only 27.4% (340) of sales. The graph below highlights this occurrence.
Sales increased 16.5% for the month to 1,726 units sold, up from 1,482 in September. Year-to-year closed escrows are up 6.9% from the 1,614 units sold October 2011. The total value of all single family home closed escrows was $373,546,698, up 20% from $311,305,286 in September.
The median home sales price increased to $189,000, 5% up from $180,000 in September. Year-to-year, this figure is up 14.6% from the $164,900 median sales price of October 2011. The $200,000 - $249,999 price range accounts for 17.1% (294) of the 1,721 total sales this month. Homes under $100,000 totaled 191 (11%) units. Closed escrows from conventional financing (673 units or 36.4% of all sales) increased 1.3%, cash buyers increased 2.7% (682 units/36.9%) and FHA financing decreased 5.8% (359/19.4%) sales. These numbers include the 129 condo sales this month. The average amount of days spent on the market (from list date to opening escrow) decreased from 46 to 38 days; the median DOM decreased from 17 to 13.
clear skies,

Are you afraid of swimming with sharks? Research shows that swimming alongside a shark can be extremely beneficial to your mental health. The reason has to do with a sense of awe and surprise.
You do not have to swim alongside a great white shark to get the benefits of swimming alongside a shark or whale. In fact, most people who swim alongside sharks do so alongside a whale shark. This is a filter feeder that does not hunt. Instead it filters microscopic plankton and small fish as it opens its enormous mouth. The whale shark poses no risk to humans.
Researchers believe that when a person sees such a massive animal that they cannot really understand it creates a feeling of awe. This is considered to be a highly positive emotion that increases altruism and wellbeing afterwards.
The actual science behind the positive effects from swimming with sharks has to do with our amygdala. This is our part of the brain that controls emotional responses. When we saw animals, our amygdala is activated. Animals that do not pose a threat to us seem to have a positive and stimulating effect on us.
The effect of animals on us goes back to our hunter-gatherer roots. Their effect on us seems to be hard-wired in our biology. Not only can being around animals or swimming with fish be uplifting, but it can also make us healthier. Interacting with animals seems to strengthen our immune system. So, the next time you are feeling down, try swimming with a shark to make yourself happier and healthier. The effects of swimming with sharks also seem to be long-term and not just temporary.

I can walk again!!!!
Without limping (almost all the time without a limp, but hey I'll take it!)
Good things happening:
1. I can walk again! For the past 2 weeks I've noticed significant improvement in my pain level for my hip. It still hurts every now and then, but NO CRUTCHES, NO WHEELCHAIR! Tomorrow the 28th would have been 7 months of not walking. Can I get a what what!?!?! Thank you Lord for healing me physically and spiritually. My goal was to be walking by the time Leelah started Kindergarten in Sept. So this is just amazing in the truest since of the word. God is just so good, walking or not. I wish I could just go on and on about this moment. But the fact is, God healed me. It's just that simple and complex all at once. I'm thankful!
2. We got a doggy dog!!! Leelah is allergic to: say it with me, "DOGS, CATS, AND JOHNSON GRASS!!!" That was supposed to be said aloud by a huge invisible audience. But we just fell in love with this little darling:
Her name is Boo. We love her. She is a maltipoo which is supposed to by hypoallergenic. We are really praying this will work out for us as we want her to be our forever pet.
3. Staycation!!!!!!!!!!!! We need it. What else can I say. Times have been tough.

In a characteristically upbeat statement, Secretary of State for Wales and Northern Ireland Peter Hain, and Irish Minister for Communications Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, have announced a delay in setting up the Single Energy Market[SEM] – Press Association report here. 1st November 2007 rather than 1st July 2007 is now the "go-live" date. That will be more than half way through the 2-year attempt to create a market for renewable energy in NI, assuming Wales doesn't overtake us that is.. although by that stage the opposition to Peter Hain's favoured wind farms may have spread. Whatever happens there will be no nuclear component to that market.. at all.. ever.From the NIO statement
Both Governments are fully committed to the creation of an all island energy market which will, through sustained co-operation, best meet the challenges for the island as a whole across the range of energy issues these include improved interconnection, renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy research and development. The Single Electricity Market from 2007 is the key short term priority with work also underway on developing the all-island gas market over time.

Course: Master of English studies.
In the world of education, change is a constant - and that includes the field of English studies.
"It's changing quickly in response to new technologies and global shifts across the spectrum of language, literature and cultural politics. The majority of those who study English literature today no longer regard English as a first language, and this has meant that traditional Anglophone literature in the 'Asian century' is needing to realign itself with transnational perspectives," says The University of Sydney's Professor Paul Giles.
