A New Kind of Polenta
This is yet another one of those culinary ideas that I kick myself for not figuring out on my own. It makes perfect sense. Polenta is made from milled corn, dried and packaged and sent to you to be reconstituted and simmered away on the stove. Why not capture the intense summer flavor of corn by grinding corn, straight off the cob, in a Cuisinart, at home to enjoy the sweet fresh flavor of corn in a whole new way. Somewhere between creamed corn and polenta, this turns out much sweeter than the polenta you're used to.
Serve it as a side dish to a hearty savory stew and the sweetness will perfectly balance the salty savory nature of your main course.
Sweet Corn Polenta
Adapted from Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi
6 ears of corn
2 1/4 cups water
3 T butter
Black pepper
Cut the corn from the cob and place in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes. Drain the corn, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer the corn to a Cuisinart and process for several minutes to break down the corn as mush as possible. Return the milled corn to the saucepan and add the cooking liquid. Cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Fold in the butter and season the polenta with salt and pepper to taste.

What a brilliant idea! I served polenta a lot, but never would have thought to go straight to the source to make my own fresh corn version. This is the perfect time of year to give it a try!

This is so cool. I had no idea that you could just "make" polenta. Of course, I never thought about it. I am definitely going to try this.

The Next Page: Finding Private Enright
Ninety years ago this month, the first Americans died in World War I. Thomas Enright of Pittsburgh was one of the three. Here is the story of a forgotten hero.
November 11, 2007 5:00 AMThomas Enright was born May 8, 1887, on Taylor Street in Bloomfield. He was the seventh child (fourth surviving child) of Ellen and her considerably older husband, John Enright. Thomas was their first child not born in their native Ireland. He spent his youth on Taylor Street.
While the construction of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall was under way, a few weeks before the start of the 1909 World Series, Enright enlisted into the very small U.S. Army. It was the inaugural season of Forbes Field when Honus Wagner and the Pirates defeated the Detroit Tigers led by Ty Cobb.
By the end of his second enlistment and return to Pittsburgh, Enright had an impressive record. He had been to China, post-Boxer Rebellion. He had earned the title of expert cavalryman, fighting Moros in the Phillippines.
In 1914, as part of the 16th Infantry, Enright was one of the troops in Vera Cruz harbor when seaman Francis DeLowry was shot from the mast of the USS New Hampshire. DeLowry had been a classmate at St. Mary's in Lawrenceville.
In 1916 Thomas Enright was back in Mexico. Though he wrote to his sister Mary of seeing nothing but starving cattle, he was part of the Pershing-led punitive expedition in pursuit of Pancho Villa.
After a short time back in Pittsburgh, perhaps out of a sense of duty, hearing talk of U.S. involvement in Europe's war -- or a good look at his brothers' lives as industrial laborers -- Enright re-enlisted.
He rejoined the 16th Infantry stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas, just in time to be sent back across the country by rail to Hoboken, N.J.
The 16th Infantry, 2,600 strong, not unlike the rest of the Army, was made up largely of new enlistments. Many were expecting a Boy Scout-type adventure. That adventure began with a two-week crossing of the Atlantic Ocean as part of the very first troop convoy.
On June 26, 1917, they disembarked in St. Nazaire, France, as part of the First Infantry Division. Their chief of operations would become well known to history -- it was George C. Marshall of Uniontown. The First would come to be known as "Pershing's Darlings." The best damn division in the Army, Pershing would call them.
When the French overnment requested a U.S. military presence for a Fourth of July ceremony, Pershing ordered Enright's battalion from the 16th to Paris. "The first appearance of American combat troops in Paris brought forth joyful acclaim from the people," wrote Pershing in his memoir. At this occasion, a U.S. officer to declared -- to acknowledge France's key role in the American Revolution -- "Lafayette, we are here!" (It's possible that Pershing himself uttered it.)
Four months after that proclamation, the U.S. Army was for the first time at the front. Company F, 16th Infantry, to which Enright belonged, had been in the trenches only a few hours. The Germans were aware of their presence, having been informed by a French deserter.
A little after 3 a.m. on Nov. 3, 1917, the Germans launched a nearly hour-long "box assault." This was an artillery assault to the left, right and rear of Company F's position, cutting them off from reinforcements or retreat.
Across a frozen no-man's land, 200 seasoned German shock troops advanced with the odds 10 to 1 in their favor. Eleven men of Company F were taken prisoner. Five others were left wounded. Pvt. Merle Hay, Cpl. James Gresham and Thomas Enright were killed.
Hay was shot, stabbed and stomped to death. James Gresham was shot between the eyes. A few yards away lay Thomas Enright, expert cavalryman, face down, his head nearly severed from his body by a trench knife -- a 20th-century weapon little improved upon since the days of ancient Rome. Scattered in and about the trench were a few German helmets and rifles. The Pittsburg (as the city was spelled at the time) Press quoted a French general: "You fell facing the foe in a hard, desperate hand-to-hand fight."
On Nov. 5, 1917, Enright, Gresham, and Hay were buried in the country where they had died, with the following inscription to mark their graves in the Lorraine region: "Here lie the first soldiers of the illustrious Republic of the United States who fell on French soil for justice and liberty."
The deaths of these three men would solidify the country's resolve, becoming a notorious episode in U.S. military history. Enright, Gresham, and Hay were no sons of privilege. They could have been any farmer's or millworker's boys. There was a spike in war bond sales.
Cheeks stained with tears, soldiers fired large French 75s (artillery pieces) in the direction of the German lines with "a prayer they would hit their mark," wrote The Pittsburg Press.
A banner headline from a local paper on Nov. 5 was "Huns Kill Local Youth."
At the election night smoker of the Pittsburgh Commercial Club, plans were laid for raising funds to build a memorial to Enright. Every person in the city would be asked to contribute the number of pennies corresponding with their age.
Councilman John S. Herron introduced a resolution to rename Premo Street in Morningside, where Thomas' sister Mary lived, "in honor of the dead patriot." "I know that if he had a moment of consciousness before death came, he was glad to go the way he did," the papers quoted Mary.
Mary wired the War Department asking for Enright's body to be returned, as did Mayor Joseph Armstrong and the United Spanish War Veterans.
Despite their requests, Thomas Enright would lie in a French grave for over two years after the Armistice was signed.
On July 10, 1921, on the same Hoboken Pier from which Thomas Enright and his comrades had departed, Gen. John "Blackjack" Pershing stood straight and square to greet the transport ships Wheaton and Somme, which carried the bodies of Thomas Enright, James Gresham and Merle Hay.
More than 7,000 flag-draped coffins were unloaded from the two ships. When carried onto the embarkation pier, they stretched row upon row.
Never comfortable as a public speaker, Pershing spoke with measured voice but with visible emotion:
"These men who died on foreign soil laid down their lives for us. They fought for freedom and for eternal right and justice, as did the founders of the great American Republic before them.
"They gave all, and they have left us their example. It remains for us with fitting ceremonies, tenderly with our flowers and our tears, to lay them to rest on the American soil for which they died"
Pershing gently laid a wreath on the coffin of Gresham, Hay and Enright.
On July 14, Enright's casket arrived in Pittsburgh at Pennsylvania Station, accompanied by William Wiggans, one of the very few of Company F to have survived the box assault intact. Comrades of various veteran organizations and a squad of motorcycle policeman were present. The body was taken to the home of Enright's sister, Mrs. Charles Trunzer, in West Etna. The following day, Enright's casket was delivered to Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall where, like Francis DeLowry before him, he lay in state.
Throughout the day, a steady stream of mourners arrived, not only those who knew him, but those who knew him only as a rallying cry. Dozens of floral arrangements were delivered.
On Saturday, July 16, Enright's flag-draped casket was carried on the shoulders of his pallbearers through the front door of Soldiers & Sailors Hall. All were alumni of St. Mary's school and veterans of the Great War. Enright was carried down the long walkway and placed on a gun caisson drawn by six horses and taken to St. Paul Cathedral for the service.
During the formation of the procession, headed by a detachment of 500 ex-servicemen from the Pittsburgh police and fire departments, "the great crowd stood in silent tribute ... many wept unashamed," The Pittsburg Press reported.
The cathedral could not accommodate the overflow crowd. Thousands crammed their way inside, filling the aisles. Most waited outside while a Mass was said by Bishop Hugh C. Boyle.
From Oakland, the procession made its way to St. Mary's Cemetery in Lawrenceville, where after multiple conflicts and thousands of miles, Private Thomas Francis Enright was buried again, not far from where he had been born. Pershing's wreath was laid upon the freshly mounded earth.
If the Pittsburgh Commercial Club did collect pennies, the Enright memorial was never built. However, the Enright Theater was dedicated on a pleasant, unseasonably mild Saturday in December 1928 more than 11 years after his death. A parade launched the opening ceremonies for the theater. The 324th observation squadron flew their PT Army planes low across the sunny sky dropping wreathes upon the theater's roof.
Thomas' sister raised the flag to the top of the gleaming new flag pole, while the 107th field artillery drum and bugle corps from Elizabeth played the nation anthem.
The civic-conscious crowd stared in disbelief as the first volley shattered the windowpanes of the new box office. The last 20 cannon blasts broke dozens more windows, roaring implacably on over the screams of police and populace.
In a span of less than 30 years, all of the theater's windows would be broken again. This time intentionally and for good, the flagpole from where Old Glory had been raised would be razed by urban planners.
By the time of the demolition of the Enright Theater, Enright's tombstone had become worn and illegible -- due in part to the quality of Pittsburgh's air. On Memorial Day, 1961, through the efforts of VFW Post 897, headed by Commander Joseph Borkowski, a new stone was unveiled.
Some residents of Premo Street objected to Councilman Herron's proclamation to rename the street. Today, Premo Street is Premo Street.
Along the border of East Liberty and Friendship, roughly two blocks west of the site of the Enright Theater, today sits Enright Parklet, discernible by a piece of wolmanized lumber fashioned into a sign. The swingset and slide is too small to be a park. Thus "parklet."
Off Broad Street in East Liberty is Enright Court, a group of homes built during the urban revitalization that tore down the theater and created the East Liberty circle. There is irony in the city having named a dead end street for Enright.
I asked several residents of Enright Court who had spied me looking at their street sign if they knew who, or what their street was named for.
They had no idea.

The diamond market is beginning to act more like a commodity market because the diamond cartel has been broken up. That means price volatility will be greater, Even-Zohar said.
DeBeers, the long-time diamond giant and controller of the diamond trade, was bought by Anglo-Platinum in November 2011, "is out of the picture," he said.
Having a group like DeBeers kept price volatility to a minimum, he said. But they also were big advertisers and now are no longer mounting their huge marketing campaigns, so the industry has lost a central body in marketing.
Zimbabwe could hold the future of the diamond industry. The Marange a diamond field, could easily supply 25% of the world's supply by value and 30% by volume by 2015, Even-Zohar said.
There are about 11 to 16 operable mines and each could produce about 10 million carats per annum, he said, and conceivably produce as much as 110 million to 160 million carats a year, which would double the current global output.
He pointed out the quality of the diamonds in the Marange is lower, which is one caveat.
"Zimbabwe could be a problem," Even-Zohar said.
He said this not only for a potential supply disruption, but also because of the political situation of a country run by current president, Robert Mugabe. Mugabe has sought to nationalize mines and other resources, and non-governmental organizations have accused him of many human rights abuses and other atrocities.
Even-Zohar said despite the concerns many have, "as an industry, we must find a way to work with him."
Zimbabwe is a signatory to the Kimberley Process, which was put in place to monitor the movement of rough diamonds in an effort to eliminate "blood diamond" trade which was funding rebel armies. The process was to prevent money sold from the diamond trade to overthrow governments. Even-Zohar pointed out concerns about funding rebel movements is not an issue anymore.

In January, at the FEAT-NT Conference, I attended a fantastic workshop on the topic of bullying. As children and adolescents with any kind of disability are at greater risk of being bullied, I was very excited to learn more. Lisa M. Elliott, PhD, a Licensed Psychologist and Clinic Manager for Cook Children's Medical Center in Denton, took the time to present at the conference and answer questions from the audience. Dr. Elliott also serves as an on-site practicum and post doctoral fellowship supervisor, as well as an adjunct professor for the University of North Texas. Dr. Elliott specializes in therapy, psychological and neuropsychological testing for children and adolescents. She graciously agreed to work with me to convert the information she shared with FEAT-NT conference attendees for a series of posts here on AutismSpot.
I hope you'll enjoy learning more in this three-part series about how bullying has changed in recent years and what parents, teachers, therapists and doctors can and should do to protect our children from bullies.
LAW: Bullying is not only on the rise, but it is happening to kids at younger ages than ever before. Can you please share some information about how very common bullying is today?
Dr. Elliott: In 2001, a large scale study (Nansel, et al) revealed 30% of all students from grades 6-10 reported experiencing some form of bullying. A few years later, iSAFE reported 40% of all students reported experiencing some form of online bullying. More recently in 2007, KidsPoll reported 50% of their students evaluated between ages 9-13 reported being bullied. Regardless of the studies you look at there are two important key points to note: Bullying seems to be on the rise and bullying appears to be occurring at younger and younger ages.
LAW: What are the types of bullying? Can you share how bullying has changed over the past couple of decades?
Dr. Elliott: There are four types of bullying: physical, verbal, relationship/social and cyber bullying. While each one alone is harmful, they are often combined to be even more harmful and powerful.
• Physical: This is generally the most obvious type of bullying, thus easier to identify. Physical bullying accounts for less than one-third of the bullying incidents. This type of bullying generally includes scratching, slapping, hitting, shoving, tripping, choking, poking, punching, kicking, biting, pinching, destroying clothes and property.
• Verbal: Verbal bullying is the most common form of bullying, usually accounting for 70% of the reported bullying. Verbal bullying is easier to hide because it can be whispered or done via phone, text, and/or computer. While it does not leave physical scars it can leave emotional and self-esteem scars that can last a long time, even lasting lifetime. Verbal bullying is intended to hurt an individual and also to change how other people see that person. It is meant to make an individual appear "strange" to others so that person becomes further isolated. This type of bullying includes creating hurtful rumors, even sharing trusted truthful yet embarrassing secrets, name calling, belittling, lies and gossip, cruel putdowns, making someone a brunt of cruel jokes and threats.
• Relationship or Social: This type of bullying is very prevalent in the middle school years and up until the early high school years. However, it is being observed to occur more recently now in the later elementary years such as 4th and 5th grade. This type of bullying is also extremely harmful. This type of bullying is most powerful (and most scarring) in the middle school years when there are many adolescent changes takings place. This is the time when teens are trying to figure out who they are and where they can fit in.
• Cyber bullying: Is defined as "willful and repeated harm inflicted through the medium of electronic text" (CyberBullying.us). This includes mean and destructive messages and pictures via emails and texting, postings web sites, video blogs such as YouTube, cell phones, three-way calling and any other type of electronic communication. It can also include stealing someone's identity online and then pretending to be them, stealing passwords, sending viruses, etc. Cyber bullying is just as dangerous because kids have no escape and bullying tends to escalate with the online mediums due to anonymity, thus making it even harder to be caught.
In addition to the increase of frequency of bullying and that it is starting at younger ages, bullying has also become more violent and relentless. Kids can no longer come home and escape the bullying with all of the different forms of electronic mediums the bullying can take place 24/7. Furthermore, it can be more widespread, reaching greater populations of people, thus increasing shame and isolation.
It is obvious to me that Bullying is a BIG Deal and deserves a great deal of attention. Our kids deserve to feel safe and protected. I hope you come back on Thursday for Part 2 of this important series to learn about how some populations of children are targeted by bullies, signs parents and caregivers can look for and also to learn the important difference between teasing and bullying.

Black Hawk turns nightmare into great cinema.
Read Full Review
Films like this are more useful than gung-ho capers like "Behind Enemy Lines." They help audiences understand and sympathize with the actual experiences of combat troops, instead of trivializing them into entertainments.
Functions mainly as an action extravaganza, and a numbingly depersonalized one at that.
Even an audience moved to tender patriotism might wonder how Scott, a proven master of ''Gladiator''-size visual showmanship, could have bombed away the personality of every man fighting until he's left with nothing more than pure combat.
It's one of the most ferociously convincing physical re-creations of warfare ever put on screen.
See all Black Hawk Down reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 17+
Violent depiction of a risky rescue; adults only.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this film is extremely violent. If parents do allow their teens to watch, they should be aware that the sad and often violent scenes are traumatic. While it does not include as much foul language as often found in contemporary war films, the violence is extremely graphic and non-stop. American soldiers are bloodily and graphically killed from the beginning until the end. This film is in no way recommended for kids under seventeen.
Messages: The film does show valiant attempts by Special Forces troops to rescue their trapped comrades, but it does not really investigate the causes of the conflict. It also avoids dealing with the number of Somalis that were killed in the maneuver. This may complicate the portrayals of both the Americans and the militia.
Violence: EXTREMELY graphic deaths of soldiers (dismemberment, beatings, impaling, etc.). Killing of civilians, starvation, the killing and roasting of a wild boar.
Sex: Not an issue
Language: Swearing by soldiers (but actually less than one might expect).
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Utah Jazz: Harpring misses morning shootaround; Okur ruled out for tonight
LOS ANGELES — The Jazz held their morning shootaround today without veteran reserve small forward Matt Harpring, who's status for tonight's Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers is uncertain.
Also today, starting center Mehmet Okur said he will not play tonight.
Harpring stayed back at the Jazz's team hotel due to "gastric distress," the apparent result of a bad reaction to antibiotics he was taking to address a recent nasal infection.
Okur has been out for more than a week with a strained right hamstring and did not play in the Jazz's Game 1 loss Sunday.
With Okur out, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan confirmed Tuesday that he will again start Jarron Collins at center.
If Harpring does not dress as well, both reserve Kyrylo Fesenko and rookie big man Kosta Koufos will be on Utah's 12-man active roster. Fesenko dressed for Game 1, but Koufos did not.

Great Wall of China has added Japanese fare to its extensive Asian offerings, and is serving dim sum on weekends.
The 30-year-old restaurant, 2445 S. Craycroft Road, started serving sushi a few weeks ago when longtime Tucson sushi chef Noel Almendros joined the kitchen. Almendros, a native of the Philippines, cooked eight years at Sushi Hama and did a short stint for Mr. An's on Oracle Road.
"We have already diversified our Asian cuisine, so adding sushi makes sense," said owner David Le, who bought Great Wall of China from Kwang C. An — aka Mr. An — 18 months ago.
Great Wall's sushi menu includes tuna, yellowtail, salmon, scallops, shrimp and crab, as well as Almendros's signature rolls, including popcorn lobster, Wild Cat roll and the Hawaiian roll.
Le said Great Wall China will serve dim sum from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The menu is the brainchild of veteran dim sum chef Chitian Huang, who arrived about a month ago from his native China. Le said Huang specializes in dim sum and Cantonese and Szechuan cooking.
Sushi prices run $4.95 to $11.95, and dim sum is $2.50 to $5.95 per plate. Great Wall of China is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. It opens at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday for dim sum.

Yes. Just download the firmware from & install it from system update. Also dont keep any game disc in bluray drive while installing Rebug 4.46 update.
08-27-2013 #8382
I had issues using 4.46.1 rebug with the new splinter cell and basic loading functions. Everytime I loaded a game in MM, I had to then run the BD reset pkg just to get the game to appear on the DISC icon. So I went back to 4.41.3 and it's running better. Still havent checked all my 3.55 patches.
08-27-2013 #8383
Yeah 4.41.3 is more compatible, but Backupwise I have yet to encounter an issue with Iris manager on the 4.46 rex. Mm is dead to me unless its on my 3.41 system and gosh its an older copy! lol back when he supported discless syscall8. but to be truthful I use rogero on that one come to think about it. big lol
GUYS seriously, multiman is barely updated anymore. Move on from MM and try Iris manager. it has way more compatibility than mm. and if your playing discless internal its a dream with a broken bd. the community updates iris. so you know its current.
if you're on REBUG 4.46 lite or rex, its waaaay better than mm. I even combo iris to load the payload and then mm to launch off external when im lazy. it still works great. but mm can't play everything. you have to second source sooner or later. try it today.
08-27-2013 #8384

Any solution, please help.

Saints row 4 works like a charm from int/ext hdd on rogero 4.46 and multiman, tested
Also below is a Rayman Legends BLES01863 3.55 Fix from Daveyshambles, who states:
I absolutely loved Rayman Origins, I thought it was an amazing little platformer that was done really really well, with it's 2d cartoonie GFX and it's endless playability I just couldnt put it down...
A few days ago saw the release of the latest Rayman installment from Ubisoft, Rayman Legends... I went straight down the local super market an purchased a copy. I came home an wasn't content with just playing it on my OFW 4.46 ps3 so I copy'd my original disc and manifactured a working 3.55 fix for all of us 3.55 users who wont give up this awsome CFW.
It works great, just check BD mirror an external in Multi-man an make sure there's any old ps3 game in the drive, then press ''select an X on the disc icon at the XMB''
I was playing Saints row IV but then I got this... I was gonna do a Saints Row IV 3.55 fix but properjoe beat me to it... Anyway enjoy folks.

The game works for 3.41/3.55 but does this dlc works for 3.41/3.55 as well ? I understand that this thread is about 3.55 but I want to double to make sure. Thanks.

I am using MM and I have a PS3 Break V2 Dongle and I am really interested in getting info. on switching to 4.xx anything that is stable, however I have over 250 games and I would need to know how to change all of the eboots over, if that is even possible...

Just a small doubt once you check the BD mirror, you still have to press select and X on the disc icon?
Updated the fw to rogero4.46 and mm4.46 both the games are working perfect.

Toddler Has Red Eyes, But Not Pink Eye01/05/2010 |
My 2 year old has a small white bump on the white part of her eye to the left of her cornea on her left eye, and to the left of the cornea on her right eye. Both eyes are very red on just those halves. She has crusty lashes in the morning, but other than that does not complain about them hurting her at all. But they look awful! I have 5 kids, and have dealt with pink eye many, many times. I`m 99.9% that is not what this is. Help.
It is difficult to say with any certainty without seeing the eyes, but it sounds like your daughter may have a phlyctenule on each eye. This is a hypersensitivity response (or like an allergic response) to something foreign to the body. The fact that she has crusty eyelids in the morning may mean she has blepharitis which is due to a type of bacteria. This blepharitis can cause the phlyctenules seen on the white part of the eye.
Based on your description I would agree that it does not sound like a typical pink eye.
I would bring your daughter to an eye doctor for a definitive diagnosis and possible treatment, especially if it is not improving.
You should definitely be keeping her eyelids clean with lid scrubs, which is taking a wet wash cloth with baby shampoo and scrubbing the lash line free of debris (crusty flakes). Lid scrubs will help not only with bacterial conjunctivitis but also with blepharitis.

InterPro entry IPR010551
This entry consists of several bacterial and archaeal glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) proteins (EC), which are involved in glycolysis and in gluconeogenesis and catalyse the conversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate to D-fructose 6-phosphate. The deduced amino acid sequence of the first archaeal PGI isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus revealed that it is not related to its eukaryotic and many of its bacterial counterparts. In contrast, this archaeal PGI shares similarity with the cupin superfamily that consists of a variety of proteins that are generally involved in sugar metabolism in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes [PUBMED:11533028].

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the GPI domain has been found. There are 32 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.

Racism in Raywick

First we have the "stand your ground" law in Florida giving rise to a murder of an innocent young black teenager by a white/Hispanic self-appointed neighborhood watch-resident-trigger-happy racist, and now the Raywick, Ky bar owner who thinks all black people should be banned from her bar and property because they have dark skin and therefore will cause trouble?

1:48 PM ETNFL Record Setting Investing Point #3) Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I remember when I was a kid I watched some NFL running back set a team-record for rushing yards in a single season as he ran for a three or four yard gain late in a game late in the season. The team stopped play, did a quick acknowledgement and honoring of the breaking of the record and then got back on the field to run the next play. The running back lost five yards on the next play as he was tackled in the backfield and suddenly the record that was just his was no longer his. The team turned the ball over and the game and the season ended and the guy never got the record back. Sort of like all the people who have made fortunes on paper in their stock portfolios only to see the markets take it all back the next year. Don't give your records back to the markets.

Poor Borges must be rolling over his grave at the Argentine ban on imported books!
The official lie claims that Resolution 453 is not a ban on books, just a ban on toxic lead ink. This way President Cristina Kirchner, an Evita wannabe, can claim to be saving untold Argentinians from the epidemic of ink-lead poisoning in the more literate First World. Of course there is no such peril, but that is irrelevant.
The Argentine book ban gives a new twist to the concept of digesting a book. If you want to protect the national health, why not simply instruct Argentinians to consume more vegetables instead of books? Then again, no official would dare suggest that the national addiction to red meat poses a health risk.
Word from on high says this ill-considered ban is already being reversed after thousands of readers expressed their outrage in FaceBook and Twitter. Readers who ordered books from Amazon, for example, are being forced to travel to the international airport outside Buenos Aires with written proof that these volumes do not contain ink with lead over 5 or 6 parts per thousand.
None of this has anything to do with promoting safety and health. If that were the motive, they'd do better to invest in soap and toilet paper in public restrooms rather than attempt to create panic about an invasion of foreign books.
The Argentinians can expect this kind of autocratic maneuver from President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who earned a master's in propaganda from studying idol Eva Peron. As Argentinians know, the Queen Cristina the Benevolent steered millions of tax dollars to buy out the commercial soccer channel "because the people have a right to watch soccer on TV." The former commercial ads have been replaced by spins about her noble and glorious reign. So naturally one has to suspect her administration's sudden tender concern about potential lead poisoning from turning pages with damp fingers in Harry Potter novels or scientific texts.
Anyone with their blinders off can see that the latest autocratic maneuver is just the latest in a series ill-disguised attempt to to fix the disaster she has made of the economy, as measured in the downward spiral of the Argentina peso. The foreign book ban is really about promoting Argentine publishers, reducing the trade balance, and stenching the flow of dollars from the country.
This is obvious from the comments by a chief apologist for the government's move, Juan Carlos Sacco, board member of the Argentine Industrial Union, UIA, the leading industrial advocacy group: "Argentina does not ban the import of books, the latest measures have been implemented to safeguard human health since handling books could entail dangers originated in the lead content of the inks with which they are published." [see footnote]
He nevertheless admitted that the resolution does have the intention of promoting printing of books in Argentina, reported Montevideo's MercoPress, which also added that the new regulation does not ban the use of high lead inks in domestically published books. (If you've ever seen the paint peeling from countless Argentinian walls, you would agree that a serious anti-lead project would start there, not with foreign educational materials!)
" 'In the last five years book imports totalled 140,00 tons equivalent to 550 million dollars. And in 2011 the misbalance was approximately 78% which represents a deficit of 125 million dollars,' " said Sacco, according to MercoPress.
Personal note: I'm back in the U.S. enjoying unlimited access to English-language books at last, and unfortunately with less time to post. However any government attempts at limiting access to books or other information is something all of us should take seriously enough to stop and fight however we can. For more on bizarre attempts to stop the flow of books into Argentina, see my prior post about the customs agent who threatened not to hand over my Amazon order a few years ago: "The Ministry of Culture does not allow books in English into the country--unless they were published in a Spanish-speaking country." Thank goodness for my new Kindle!
Note: Is there a secret school that trains Argentine leaders in the art of self-deception as well as propaganda? How can anyone utter such ridiculous statements with a straight face? Sacco's comments remind me of one of members in the three-man junta that terrorized Argentina during the "Dirty War" that disappeared 30,000 citizens while canceling human rights. In response to President Carter's protest, one of them, perhaps General Videla, said, "How can anyone say there is no democracy here? There are three of us, and we take votes--and majority rules!"

Drawing from my own experiences but also heavily incorporating feedback from 63 local runners -- novices to elites -- I've compiled a lineup of 10 events that registered as spectacular over the course of the last calendar year.
I encourage you to argue with the selections, but at the very least, put them on your must list for 2010. If they're not already on it.
- - -
The four-year-old event is quietly becoming the place for runners to pick up PRs. Here's why: Runners get to the start of the afternoon race by bus and then dash from one end of downtown Concord to the other, traversing a point-to-point route that's mostly downhill. "It felt like I was flying," says Dianne Allen, who set a 5K PR there. The electrifying crowds lined up for the Christmas parade help, too. Says Richard Hefner, who's run the past two Santa Scrambles: "There must have been at least 20,000 people along the course this year."
- - -
LungStrong 15K/5K
With the exception of the start and finish, 15Kers see no commercial buildings along the fall race's 9.3-mile route. First, runners dip into Jetton Park, which rolls through the beautiful waterfront reserve for just over a mile. Then, runners come out and pass the Peninsula Club Golf Course and several miles of million-dollar homes before reconnecting with Jetton Road at the race's westernmost point. On the way back into town, the road winds along some of the most idyllic stretches of Lake Norman. It truly can be hard to keep your eyes on the road.
Held the third Saturday in October (Web site)

China Grove Main Street Challenge
China Grove is far better known as a Doobie Brothers song and "that exit off I-85 north of Kannapolis" ... but now in its fourth year, this Friday-night 5K has become increasingly popular thanks to a flat, fast course and a 9 p.m. start time. The YMCA of Rowan County sponsors the late-spring race, which has runners charging out of the streetlit downtown into the near-pitch-blackness of the countryside. Two fun kids' races kick things off before sundown, and organizers keep folks hanging around with treats like fresh melon and Krispy Kreme donuts.
- - -
It may be "The Southeast's Toughest 10-Miler" only because there's not much competition for the title, but the Gaston County YMCA's late-fall jaunt is "by far the most challenging race I've run," says Faith Kirkland, who ran it for the first time this year. Adds Tom Torkildsen, who's run it several times: "The last [hill] is a monster" -- a 175-foot climb straight up Spencer Mountain Road. "I have seen runners walking [it] on more than one occasion." On top of all this, runners say the route's roads have a significant camber, making it tough on the legs.
More than 300 runners competed in this two-year-old event, held in the spring on the idyllic trails of McAlpine Creek Greenway. But the men's and women's races are staggered, so packs are relatively small (169 women and 137 men ran in 2009) -- this also makes it easy for wives to cheer on husbands and vice versa. Little flourishes enhance the experience: An Elvis impersonator is the official starter, age-group trophies are runner Bobbleheads, and there's a post-race raffle for cool prizes, so even slower runners have a shot at going home a winner.
Just five years ago, barely 1,000 runners participated in the then-new event. It's since exploded: Last Saturday, 1,400 marathoners competed alongside 3,000 half-marathoners -- and 1,500 more ran the Jingle Jog 5K. The challenging Boston qualifier course represents our area's only 26.2-miler and puts some of the city's most beautiful and eclectic neighborhoods on display, from the lavish homes of Myers Park to the colorful bungalows of NoDa. Volunteer and police support is strong; spectator support is spotty-but-growing (and often very enthusiastic); the race expo continues to reel in more vendors; and the tie-in with the NASCAR theme has the potential to really be something special when the NASCAR Hall of Fame opens in 2010. The running community pulsates during Thunder Road. It's a shining badge of honor for Charlotte.
Held the second Saturday in December (Web site)

Small Firms Still Lag Larger Businesses In Business Continuity Readiness
Regus, a London-based provider of flexible workspace for businesses worldwide, found in a late 2011 survey of 12,000 businesses that the larger the company, the more ready it is to handle a disaster.
Only 51 percent of small businesses have an IT business continuity plan in place, ensuring IT systems are up and running within 24 hours, compared to 74 percent of large businesses, Regus found. About 60 percent of large businesses have a workspace business continuity plan in place, compared to only 43 percent of small companies.
CRN Channel Takeaway: Business continuity, which takes care of the other details after a disaster once the IT infrastructure comes back up, represents a nearly untapped potential business for solution providers.

I agree that this model looks fantastic both on the ground and in the air. I'm getting 5min airtime on a 800 mAh 2S pack Andy |
Thanks for the heads up fellas. I'll give them a tug to see how secure mine are.
Here's a couple of picts of my 800 2S lipo in situ. I hinged the cover with blenderm tape which is almost invisible and sticks really well Andy |
How bout 2? |
well I had a very uneventful incidence on Saturday, I crashed the Hurricane...got too cocky and she tip stalled and spiraled to the ground ...... SO! before she had any battle scars on her, I felt reluctant to alter her body to conform to 3s, this is no longer the case.
Result of the crash...the nose section all the way to the reciever bay area was broken clean off....nothing like some medium CA wouldnt cure...but then I asked myself, what if I removed the wooden tray ...this would buy me alot of vertical re-estate to fit a bigger esc and 3s lipo 850mah. Had a spare prop and spinner and a 20AMP airfield ESC and went at it...all together now...will anticipate some nose up correction on the trim to level her out....but surely it will perform.... Story of complication does not end here....now we all think the TOP RC 1300KV motor stock is identical to that of the FMS....At least I thought it was....and why I say this?? well after all the glue set and dried, I riged up a watt meter and tried to pull some amperage at wot....the current draw was in the area of 15.5AMPS wot....so far so good, but it would level out to less than 7AMPS!!! at only a whopping 80Watts!! i thought this was a battery problem, but i tried some of my newer packs..same behavior.....I played with the esc switching frequency 8khz 16khz, also the timing, auto lo and high, low lipo cutt off...you name it,,,,, still the same. No This leads me to think that there is some sort of Current limitation on the motor itself...like a self feedback mechanism to the esc where if the current exceeds a maximum rated amperage, then dont allow more current to go forward.... Consequently i have ordered from Hobbyking a 3128 1550KV bell motor with same dimensions...maybe aliitle beefier due to the higher wattage and KV length wise of the can.... I figure with higher KV....ill be able to keep my draw in the 15amp neighborhood or more hopefully close to 18amps and stay there..... if you guys have experienced something like this please chime in... on and one thing, if I unplug the battery for every insertion of try, I get that 2 seconds of 15amp draw before it levels off to nothing....sounds like the motor is only designed for 2s only. |
Had a rather embarassing crash today. I tossed the plane, and my neck strap was tangled in the controls, keeping me from turning. It crashed on its left side, tearing the motor out, and breaking the prop. It sucks too, as I had just had a great flight just prior. I did, however, discover the two huge weights in the nose of the model, and they have me thinking I am going to remove them, and utilize larger batteries now. I have some 1.7mAh 2s batteries... I may be able to get some really long flights out of this! -----Metalguy
I guess my Hurri had a bad weekend. I did indeed remove the weights, and reorganised the interior of the plane. I took the case of the RX, and moved it above the wing, and removed entirely the rudder servo, tailwheel, and associated hardware. I put the ESC below the battery bay in front and below the plywood. I also fly without the undercarriage, so those were off. I repaired yesterday's damage, and took her out to fly today. I installed the 1700mAh 2s battery, and she flew every bit as good as before. Only problem: I mis-judged, and hit a goal post dead-on, destroying the front of the plane. And the battery. And the motor. What a bummer! Well, I may buy another, or not...I have my eye on the 1000MM hurricane Hobby King came out with. I think its an art-tech model. Its got weights, too......-------Metalguy
Sorry to read of another crash. If it's any consolation, I crashed my Radius & HK Parkjet today and my mate destroyed the front of his EDF Mirage (maiden flight). A newbie also crashed the Wot-Next that I built for him and my old beat up EPP Bendy Sport was well and truly lawn darted by his son. It's now been laid to rest as even EPP can't take that much cumulative abuse (wing torn almost in half, servos mounting area torn away and the fuse nearly broken all the way through in two places)
I'm glad I didn't risk the Hurri as the field had lots of grass tuft just waiting to spin a model around and rip a wing off if you came in too hot. Andy |

Exercise and Fitness |
Drinking water02/08/2005 |
for better health and fitness, should you drink your 8 to 10 glasses of water at room temperature or cold from the refridgerator? i have heard room temperature is absorbed better by your body but that cold water may actually jump start your metabolism. Any truth?
The majority of sports nutrition and exercise science textbooks state that cold water not only helps to cool the core body temperature, but also empties more rapidly than warm water from the stomach into the intestines where it can be absorbed.
However, you should drink a beverage at a temperature that is appealing to you. Most exercisers prefer cool fluids when working out. However, drinking a cold beverage in the winter may be a poor choice if you are already chilled. Warm soup, hot cocoa, or mulled cider may help to warm your body. A good rule of thumb in checking your hydration status, is the color of your urine. If the color of your urine looks like the color of apple juice, you may be dehydrated. You want the color of your urine to look more like the color of lemonade. This would indicate that you are well hydrated. The general rule for the average American is ten (8 oz) glasses of fluids per day.

Bark of Dog is a bass resonance filter that lets you increase your low end without turning up the flab. I like to think of it as a way to boost the low end while still keeping it under control. While the controls are super simple, the effect that this has on controlling the low end in a mix is pretty exciting.
Is this just a resonant high pass filter?
Yes, it is.
Why create a dedicated plugin for a tool we all already have?
Great question. Truthfully, what you get here can be accomplished with pretty much any digital EQ plugin. The reason why I made a dedicated plugin for this is because even though I had the capability to put a resonant high pass filter on my tracks for the past 15 years using my stock EQ, the thought never occurred to me to try it. I read reviews on a certain plugin that claimed to enhance the low end with a resonant high pass filter, and everybody who tried it seemed to love it. Rather than spending loads of money on a big dongle and then more money on a plugin, I decided just to make my own.
Even though it is super simple, I think it lived up to it's hype. I love this tool. It solved all my low end problems. Because this is a feature we all already have, I didn't feel right about charging money for it. There are enough good new ideas to do that I don't want to fall into the trap of repackaging old tricks. Think of this as more of a really helpful tip with a plugin to go along with it. If you don't want to download this plugin, then at least open up your stock EQ and play with the resonance on your high pass filter. It made my life a lot easier, and I think it can make yours easier too.

Sorry for such a neophyte question, but I am wanting to know (aside from best practices - which I would never want to exceed nor challenge) if there is a default, maximum amount of Differential backups that can be run against a last good, known full? The reason I am asking is due to a migration that we are starting which is going to move one instance of databases to another server's instance, but the proof of concept that is wanted is to see if I was to take just one full - how many diffs can I run until another full is needed.
Thank you in advance, and again - just if there is an actual limit to how many diffs I can have before another full is needed is what I am needing to know.

See all available tour packages
On The Jungle Adventure tour, you will canoe along jungle rivers and lakes. Walk in the rain forest canopy and learn how to fish for piranhas. Hike through the Amazon jungle on day and night trips. Watch for squirrel monkeys, sloths, caimans, anacondas, countless bird species and much more. Your native guide will explain life, history and the flora and fauna of the Amazon jungle region.
This tour is similar to The Beauty of the Amazon Basin.
The Jungle Adventure (6 Days)
Day 1: Arrival to Quito
Welcome to Quito, located in the Andes Mountains. This is world's second-highest capital.
Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978, Quito has one of the finest colonial centers in Latin America.
Transfer to the hotel.
Day 2: Through Pilchicocha Lake
Breakfast at the Hotel
Depart Quito's airport at 11:30 AM (Flight EQ213, subject to change). A 30 minute flight over the Andes Mountains leads you to a bustling oil town called Coca located in the Amazon Basin.
A 30-minute hike through the rainforest leads you to Lake Pilchicocha. Here, you are met by native workers who paddle you across the lake to your final destination.
Arrive at Sacha Lodge around 3:00 or 3:30 pm. Swim in Lake Pilchicocha, which is a black water lake home to many species of fish and animals.
A refreshing swim may be just what you need, after a day of equatorial heat. The mini-tower offers guests an excellent opportunity to view several species of birds common around the lodge. It's also a great place to watch the sunset.
Visit the butterfly house with your naturalist guide to view the beautiful colors of many different species.
After dinner, accompany your naturalist guide on a night walk through the rain forest to view the hundreds of different species of animals that can only be found at night.
Or maybe a canoe ride on the lake. As you silently paddle across the lake you will get a closer view of the spectacled and black caimans with their glowing orange eyes.
Dinner at the lodge
Day 3: The Bird Walk on the Tropical Rain Forest
Breakfast at the Lodge
Your morning activity will begin on trail Liana Chica and arrive at the canopy walk. This walk offers spectacular views of the rain forest canopy and many different species of vibrantly colored birds.
Designed to be a self-standing rigid suspension canopy walk, it is one of only a few in the world!
Located within Sacha's private reserve (2 miles from the Rio Napo and 1 mile from the lodge) the bird walk gives guests the opportunity to get an up-close view of the rain forest canopy.
Two of the three towers have observation decks every 12 meters making towers accessible for everyone. The canopy walkway is at 36 meters high and 275 meters long, giving guests a birds-eye-view of all the wonders and beauty the tropical rain forest has to offer. The canopy walk is designed as a sturdy walkway enabling guests to casually move along while enjoying the spectacular views.
After the canopy walk, follow Liana Grande through terra firme and igapo forest habitats where native guides will explain many different species of medicinal plants that have been being used in their culture for hundreds of years.
Liana Grande will turn into the trail Higueron, which will take you through pristine primary forest with huge Kapok and Fig trees towering hundreds of feet above your head.
Higueron will eventually lead to the Finca for an excellent lunch prepared especially for long day trips. Lunch is served while you listen to the many species of birds around the Finca and enjoy the coolness of the covered picnic tables.
From the Finca, you may choose to take a leisurely hike along the Rio Napo, or choose a little more challenging hike on the trail Leoncillo to try and spot the elusive dusky titi monkey. Either way the trails will lead you back to the main boardwalk for your final hike and canoe ride back to the lodge.
Dinner at the lodge
Day 4: Amazing Encounter with the Jungle wildlife
Leaving the lodge after breakfast, you begin your amazing encounter with the Jungle wildlife hike. This trail offers you the chance to learn more about the native people and their relationship with the forest. Learn about the trees where native people believe the spirits of their ancestors live, and the mysterious "dwende" or devil-man of the forest.
After arriving at Lake Lagartococha, take a tranquil canoe ride through a natural swamp, the home of anacondas, caimans, and capybaras.
After the canoe ride, a walk on the other side of Largatococha may give you the opportunity to spot Capuchin or squirrel monkeys playfully jumping through the trees. Return from the walk or canoe ride and head back to the lodge for a refreshing dip in the lake, or a nice relaxing nap in your personal hammock on your private balcony.
After lunch, your native guide will teach you how to fish for the infamous razor-toothed piranha. Keep in mind that piranhas will never attack a person and swimming at the same time is perfectly safe and fun!
Around 4:00 you will begin what many think is the best trail at Sacha: a silent canoe ride through the flooded Amazonian forest. Where you have a good chance of being surrounded by troops of squirrel, Capuchin, and howler monkeys.
Keep your eyes peeled for the shy and elusive river otter as well as the incredibly well camouflaged three-toed sloth! After your eye-popping ride through the flooded forest, you will arrive at Sacha's 135-foot wooden tower built around an ancient Kapok tree. Get close up views of vibrantly colored birds through Sacha's powerful scopes, and watch the sun set with an amazing view of Mount Sumaco, a volcano, and possibly a view of the snow-covered caps of the Andes!
Leaving the tower just before or after sunset will give you an experience not soon forgotten. A canoe ride back through the flooded forest at night will be an awe-inspiring experience. Listen to the symphony of frogs and insects as you navigate through the narrow flooded forest trail, keeping your eyes open for caimans.
Watch the several species of bats flying over your heads and listen to the many species of nocturnal birds making their eerie nighttime calls. Finally, after your mesmerizing canoe trip through the Amazon, you will arrive back at lake Pilchicocha and the welcoming lights of Sacha lodge.
Day 5: Back to Quito
Breakfast and a departure from the lodge at 6:45am.
One last walk on the boardwalk to the river. From there a 2-hour canoe ride back to Coca for your 35-minute flight back to Quito.
Arrive Quito at 12:00 pm, transfer to hotel
Day 6: To Quito Airport

Cornerback Eric Wright has failed his physical with the San Francisco 49ers, Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports.
With Wright failing his physical, the pending trade between the 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will void and Wright will revert back to the Buccaneers' active roster. According to Breer, the Buccaneers plan to release Wright, which they were going to do had the 49ers not offered a conditional late round pick for him last Friday.
Shortly after the 49ers acquired Wright, reports surfaced that he had been arrested on suspicion of DUI charges in Los Angeles on July 12. Wright was arrested on a similar charge last July, but that charge was dismissed. Wright is coming off hamstring and Achilles' injuries, but Monday's failed physical will surely raise questions about whether or not the 49ers were actually aware of Wright's arrest when they acquired him from the Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers signed Wright to a five-year, $37.5 million contract that included $15.5 million in guaranteed money last March. Though Wright would not be disciplined for his DUI arrest, he would serve a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. That suspension cost Wright $1.706 million in base salary last season and voided the guaranteed language on his $7.25 million base salary for the 2013 season.
In April, Wright took a $6.25 million pay cut to remain with the Buccaneers, but the team's decision to acquire All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis from the New York Jets before the 2013 NFL draft and to select Mississippi State cornerback Johnthan Banks in the second-round of the draft provided options to the team in regards to Wright.
Once released, Wright, who turns 28 on Wednesday, will immediately become a free agent. Wright played fairly well during his season, so he is expected to receive some interest from other teams. Given his recent off-field track record, however, he's likely looking at one-year deal at the league minimum salary of $715,000, less than 10 percent of the $7.25 million he was originally scheduled to earn this season.
