I also loved those little animals peeking out of their little holes. They had to have some trees to live in. Nadia, I hope you don't mind that I used a lot of my own fabric for this one. I had just enough faux bois left to give them their own little forest. The Heather Ross fabric between the trees was meant to add a little plant diversity.
After I appliqued the animals to their trees, they didn't stand out nearly as much as I had hoped, so I used some embroidery floss to outline the holes and create a little texture.
Oh, that cute little racoon face! Not as cute as a new baby though.

District of Columbia chefs Bart Vandaele of B Too restaurant and Aaron McCloud of Cedar often feature cauliflower risotto on their menus. This recipe takes aspects of both chefs' versions and combines them.
When you grate cauliflower down to its core, you create rice-size pieces perfect for mimicking a classic risotto.
Adapted by Washington food writer David Hagedorn.
6 servings
1 head (2 pounds) cauliflower (outer leaves removed), cored and halved
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup no-salt-added vegetable broth, warmed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated Manchego cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks, then brought to room temperature
Use the large-hole side of box grater to grate each cauliflower half into rice-size pieces, stopping once you get to the stalk. The yield should be about 4 cups. (Cut the stalks into 1/2-inch pieces and reserve for another use, such as a puree or soup.)
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened but not browned, stirring constantly. Add the cauliflower and salt; cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the white wine and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine has evaporated.
Add the broth in three equal additions, stirring for about 3 minutes, until each addition has been absorbed.
Add the pepper, nutmeg, butter and cheese, stirring until incorporated, then stir in the cream.
Serve immediately.

If you have the right gear, Logo can be used to control robots with a serial interface. Another alternative would be to use Lego Mindstorms. In which case, you might want to take a look at [cpan://LEGO::RCX] (which I've never used... I don't have an IR tower)

I think writing games and graphics has a much higher bar of entry than when I was 8. I was perfectly happy with drawing blocks on the screen in basic on an Apple ][e. It was close to the games I played at the time (hell, this was before Moon Patrol, Spy Hunter and Oregon Trail ... I think Jump Man and LodeRunner were the big games of the day ... and Pinball Construction Set)

20 minutes is not enough time to do anything really significant. Even the sandwich example may be a bit much. Drawing a square might take up 20 minutes. (I'll admit, I don't know 8 year olds -- they'd probably have a better attention span than my neighbor's 5 year old ... I hope, or you're going to be driven crazy after 4 hrs of it.)

You might want to prepare for a few different possibilities, just so if the first run doesn't go well, you have a backup plan. In some of the sessions, you might have to answer lots of questions, and not get to all of the stuff you want, while in others, you're going to to rush through too quickly, and need something else to occupy time.

Several hundred educators as well as lay people interested in the problem of Jewish educatiim came from various parts of the country to attend the ses¬ sions of this national OrKanization dedi¬ cated to die furtherance of Jewish cdilca- ' tion in this country. Headquarters for the Conncil have been establisheil at the Ril2 Carlton Hotel where all the sub¬ sequent .sessions were held. Community Responsibility In his review of the progress of Jewish education during the piist year, Dr. Leo Honor, prcsiilent of the council, pointed to the growing sense of comniunity re- siionsihility that has manifested itself throughout the country "with regarl to the problem of Jewish Edticattoil. This manifestation finds exprcssibn not only in incrcasal biitigets but also in the development of phases of Jewish edu¬ cation heretofore neglected. Thus con¬ siderable attention is now being given to the religious education of the girl, to the general problem of youth and adult edu¬ cation. . It is also now generally recog¬ nized that Jewish education must bc stud¬ ied in a scientific tnanner. "Jewish education," Dr. Honor de- dared, "has heen sold not only to the community leaders but (o the Jewish parents as well. In the city of New York the Jewish Education As.sociation con¬ ducted an intensive registration campaign through the press, the pulpit, lectures, mass meetings etc. with the residt that a large number of children that had been growing up without any Jewish education whatsoever were brought to the-Hebrew schools. In Minneapolis and in Detroit campaigns were conducted by the Jewish women with equally good results. In Cleveland 120 women visited over 2,000 homes. As a result COO new children were enrolled In week day schools and 700 in the community Sunday schools." Mr. Ben, Rosen, educational director of the Associated Talmud Tor,ah^ of PhiLidelphia was the presiding oificcr at . the opening session.

"God Moves in ti Mysterious Way" A Story By Elma Ehrlich Levinger (Cojiyright, lfl27, by Elma Erhltch Lcvinger. All right reserved.) The doctor smiled satirically over his tall glass of tea. A long, thin man, hi.s bushy white hair and beard faintly sug¬ gestive of that mad Russian, Tolstoi, lie reached for a lump of sugar; held it poised aliovc the steaming glass. "Once a Jew, always a Jew," said the doctor. "Or shall we say '.ilways'? I remember reading in my inispcnt youth that the 'unborn .soul takes uiion itself the yoke of the Torah.' Not long sigo, I almost believed it. A very peculiar case. Yes, God surely moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, as the hymn writer puts it." Now, as the writers of serial stories always say, "read the rest of the story for yourself." She was a frail, wiry fl.ippcr, married at eighteen, a mother at twenty. The baby, a fine, lusty youngster was exer¬ cising his lungs in the hospital nursery, and all was well with him. But compli¬ cations had set in and those about Ihe young mother's bed were white and tense with waiting. ' They stood there, the boyish husband (who doesn't conic into the story at all) ; the neurotic, hysterical mother; the father, silent and dignified in the midst of his grief. And, of. course, my friend, the doctAr. The doctor was an old friend of the family; in fact, he himself had ushered Evelyn Rosen into Ihis vale of tears she seemed about to desert with such tragic swiftness. Not a religionist him¬ self, the doctor had not been especially shocked when the Rosen's, growing pros¬ perous in this world's goods, had cc-ised to p.iy dues to the Temple, and h.id sent little Evelyn to an Episcopalian Sunday School. With the big, blue eyes <lnd ycl low curls the fortunate child had never been recognized as a Jewess. During her high school days she had met Bob Mor¬ ris of one of our best Gentile families, There was no talk of intermarriage. Evelyn Rosen to all intents and purposes was no longer a Jewess. An Episcopalian clergyman had per¬ formed the marriage ceremony. The only Jew at flic wedding, except the bride and her parents, had been Mrs. Rosen's bache¬ lor brother, who was expected to remem¬ ber Evelyn handsomely in his will. He had already deposited a very respectable check in the savings bank for Bob, Jr. now alternatingly sleeping or howling in the nursery. But it seemed .as though the young mother would never live lo thank him. Evelyn lay b-lck on her pillows, her short, gold curls a mockingly bright halo about her pinched face; her long, trans¬ parent fingers, ringless save for the pl.atinuin band, picked at the sheets; her pale lips twitched to utter words they could not understand. The doctor knew the crisis was upon them. He wondered dully whether it was worth bringing life into an already over-populated planet at such a price. 1-le bent down over the frail figure; the words he caught startled and shook him more than he cared to ac¬ knowledge even to himself. There was a strange look in his eyes when he raised his head. "There is still hope," said the doctor. Evelyn flid not die although for weeks her life hung upon a very slender threap. The doctor in his daily visits knew better than to ask her the meaning of the words she h-id murmured in that terrible moment Order of Service For Confirmation Exercises of East Broad Street Temple^ To Be Held June 12,1927, at 10 A.

CH course, he wanted itic to have Sonny christened, but that was chiefly to please his parents." "Minh, his parents? What about yours?" "Mine?" She took him up sharply now. "What about mine?" "Come now, Evelyn," and the doctor laughed a little, "such old friends as we are can be perfectly honest with each other. Even if you weren't brought up as a Jcwcbs, you must know your par¬ ents used to belong to a Temple. And your prandfathcr-^hc died before you were horn, or you'd know that he wai one of the niobt faithful jfews who ever lived." . Evelyn's shouklcrs under the rose silk kimoiia shrugged impatiently. "Pve hardly lieanl about grandfather. And you know as well as I do that you're almost the only Jewish friend we have. So wbat are you driving at? You're not trying to convert me back at my age, arc you?" "Heaven forbid I" answered the doc¬ tor, but now he spoke aloud. "What I'm driving at is this: did you ever have any j religiou'; training—rather, any Jewish rcHgioub training as a child?" Evelyn considered. "No, not a single bit as far as T can remember. Dad and mother called themselves Ethical Cul- turists or something. And my chum went to the Episcopalian Sunday School and took mc along. I was even confirmed there.' But why do you ask?" ' "You're sure you were never taught any religious observances at home—any; Hebrew prayers?" "Of course noti" "You never attended a Jewish religious service of any kind?" "Never.

Issues Call To Jews of America For $1,000,000 In June Relief From Economic Depres¬ sion Must Come Throuj^h the Rcalizalion of Cash From Plcdf^cs Made in America REPORT WAS DELIVERED BY EMANUEL NEUMANN NEW YORK—The following state¬ ment has been issued by Judge William \T. Lewis, National Chairman of the TTiiitcd Palestine Appeal, who presided at a conference of the Board of Directors of that organization and of leading work¬ ers throughout the country at the Pennsy¬ lvania Hotel, Sunday morning and after¬ noon, May 22, 1!)27. Tlie principal purpose of the Conter- tnce was to enable the members of the Board of Directors and the other men and,women throughout the country who carry the responsibility for the United Palestine Aptieal, to j^et the facts with regard to tiie present situation in Pales- line and the affairs, of the movement ¦ generally from Mr. I^juis Lipsky, Presi¬ dent of the Zionist Organization of Amer¬ ica, who has returned from the sessions of the General Council of the World Zionist Organization in London, from Miss Heniielta S/old, Judge Bernard A. Rosenblatt, and Mr. Norvin Lindheim who have rctnrned from an extended stay in Palestine. The last three emphasized the fact that the economic crisis in Pales¬ tine, although it has passed its peak and is now on the decline, is not yet ¦o\er. There is stilt- a considerable amount of Hricmploymcnt accompanied by distress, in some cases acute, especially in the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. In the agricultural settlements, on the other hand, conditions arc practically normal. There is a steady consolidation which has led-to the achievement of self-support hy a number of the settlements established within the past five or six years and the prospect of further expansion is satis¬ factory. The Depression "With' regard to the dcpresslun in the cities which bas led to the establishment of a system of doles for the unemployed, the Palestine Zionist Executive expect a considerable improvement and a return to normal from new undertakings about to be started, in ]>articular, the improve¬ ment of the Haifa'harbor, the Uutenherg elcctrificatioti project on the Jordan and various public works, particularly road building, which is being undertaken by the Government and Municipalities. "Mr. Lipsky dealt with the sessions of the General Council, formerly known as the Greater Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization that were held in London and were attended by delegates from the leading countries of the world including Palestine. Among those who represented the United States, besides Mr. Lipsky, were Miss Henrietta Szold, Honorary President of the Hadas¬ sah Woman's Zionist Organization, Mrs. Ruse Jacobs and Mr. Norvin Lindheim. Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization expressed satisfaction with the political situation in Palestine and in the movement generally. The principal action with regard to the situation in Palestine was to bring about gradually an abolition of the system of dotes to the unemplojred, by introducing additional constructive undertakings.

Q. We manufacture furniture components using particle board as a base. I am looking for a paint or coating that can be used to coat the surface of the particle board panels in a production line environment after finish sanding and prior to a paper laminating process.
The paint would need to be fast-drying and have a sealing property, as well as be capable of filling small pore-like cavities and other small surface imperfections. Do you know of such a process or product? D.M.
A. Two processes immediately come to mind:
1) Use a sandable primer surfacer that can be applied by spraying, such as those used by automotive and other industries to cover surface defects. This must be sanded after drying to obtain a smooth surface. You will want to use a thermosetting material because it will be compatible with any adhesive used for bonding during the paper laminating process.
2) Use a filling compound that is applied with a blade or knife and then sanded to obtain a smooth surface. Automotive supply stores sell such products for filling dents in sheet metal, while builders' supply stores sell them for filling holes in drywall and trim lumber. Again, you will want to use a thermosetting material.
Both these processes are labor-intensive if done manually but could be automated.

Voting Machine Problem Reports Already Rolling In 386
Several readers have submitted news of the inevitable problems involved with trying to securely collect information from tens of millions of people on the same day. A video is making the rounds of a touchscreen voting machine registering a vote for Mitt Romney when Barack Obama was selected. A North Carolina newspaper is reporting that votes for Romney are being switched to Obama. Voters are being encouraged to check and double-check that their votes are recorded accurately. In Ohio, some recently-installed election software got a pass from a District Court Judge. In Galveston County, Texas, poll workers didn't start their computer systems early enough to be ready for the opening of the polls, which led to a court order requiring the stations to be open for an extra two hours at night. Yesterday we discussed how people in New Jersey who were displaced by the storm would be allowed to vote via email; not only are some of the emails bouncing, but voters are being directed to request ballots from a county clerk's personal Hotmail account. If only vote machines were as secure as slot machines. Of course, there's still the good, old fashioned analog problems; workers tampering with ballots, voters being told they can vote tomorrow, and people leaving after excessively long wait times.

So, if you read this blog at all or know me, you know that I had an unnecessarian in 2004 for "CPD." (Umm, I'm 5'10" and only had an 8lb baby.) I suffered three consecutive first trimester losses. I had a repeat cesarean in 2009 for double footling breech twins. And now I am pregnant again with a singleton and planning to HBA2C in June or July.
So, my childbirth years have been heavily governed by the medical model of care. I've been wanting a homebirth since 2007, but the opportunity evaded me until now. I need to break up with my OB, and if you have any suggestions for when and how, I'd love to hear from you.
Should I wait until after the 20 week ultrasound? (I want this ultrasound to confirm where the placenta has attached. I already know that it is anterior, so I am concerned about accreta.)
Or should I do it now that I'm out of the 1st trimester? I already have a relationship with a midwife and will be seeing her in the next couple of weeks.
I see benefits for doing it now and for waiting. If I do it now, I have more time to trust my body, my baby, and my midwife without the temptation of ultrasound machines and other interventions. I've become somewhat dependent on the "bells and whistles" of obstetric care, and I don't think they help me build that internal trust I still lack.
These are just the 8am Saturday morning musings of the over-thinking fence sitter!

Yurts Take Shape: Michigan Tech, Calumet High Build Tibetan Shelters
For more information on this story contact:
Jennifer Donovan
It's a long way from Tibet to northern Michigan, but students at
Calumet High School
(CHS) comprise a link between the two regions that transcends both time and space.
With help from Michigan Technological University, the Calumet students are building a
, fashioned after portable housing used by nomadic Mongolians on the Tibetan steppes for 10,000 years. It's the first project of a new High School
initiative sponsored by Michigan Tech.
"It's not your run-of-the-mill student project," says
Eric Rundman
, teacher and advisor at Calumet High. "It's over and above what students usually encounter. It's something fun and different. A lot of learning goes on. It's not a trivial effort."
Indeed, the CHS students have built a historic structure that is at once simple, functional, sturdy, and handsome. It can be used as a shelter, a vendor's stand or a hunting camp. There are yurts at Mount Bohemia.
The CHS yurt, twelve feet in diameter and over eight feet tall, suggests both a gazebo and an igloo. The salient feature is 37 feet of latticework wall, tied together with cord, that folds and unfolds like an accordion—compressing into an armful when rolled up. Thirty-nine wood roof members are then tied to the wall. A lightweight steel cable, some plastic ties, two bolts, four screws and four pins comprise the rest of the components.
Tall, lean, with calloused workingman's hands, Rundman teaches metal shop and welding at Calumet. He came up with the idea of building a yurt when Michigan Tech asked him to jumpstart an initiative that came to be known as the
Alternative Housing Enterprise
Implemented in fall 2007, the high school project is modeled after Michigan Tech's signature Enterprise Program, in which hundreds of college students work on more than two dozen real-world projects for industry partners. Each Enterprise is run like a business, with budgets, deadlines, and delivery of a product or solution.
Rundman especially likes the hands-on feature of the yurt project. "Students build it, make mistakes, go back and figure it out and try again," he says.
Among his fifteen students, there are fabricators; a treasurer; a secretary; someone to work on a PowerPoint to publicize the effort; somebody else to craft a technical manual; a photographer and videographer to record the history; and a team to go out into the community and enlist sponsors.
"It's supposed to operate like a business and be student-driven," Rundman says. "Eventually, the students will run their own show. Right now I'm doing more than I want to. It's like a new business. You have to be the ramrod and get it going. But I want to be an advisor, not a driver."
Accordingly, he tells a student puzzling over some roof members: "You figure it out. I don't care what you come up with as long as it works."
The Calumet students work evenings and weekends, typically two to six hours a week. Teamwork is the watchword. "It's not possible for anyone to do this alone," Rundman says.
He especially likes that students interact with people outside of the high school—in particular, Michigan Tech, which organized and funded the program, and CJ's Upholstery, where the students will learn how to sew the canvas that will cover the shelter.
"I have no idea where this will end up because you never know what the students are going to come up with," Rundman says. "That's the amazing thing. They're very creative."
He envisions a self-sustaining program that might even provide a modest income stream for the school. He wants to draw up and sell plans for the construction of the yurt, develop a website, and mass produce and sell components.
Rundman, a veteran teacher who is completing his first year at Calumet, is helping students build more than a yurt; he also spires to help them succeed. "Teaching is my profession," he says, "and I want to be good at it."
Michigan Tech donated $5,000 to the project. The students have $2,700 left, with just the canvas cover to go. Ryan Johnson, treasurer, keeps track of those numbers.
He's also the court jester in this operation.
"Mongolians did this," he says while helping erect the structure one evening. "But I don't think Mongolians had screw guns."
The yurt is first-rate, he adds. "When we take over China, they'll know we mean business."
Rundman suggests decorating the yurt with Calumet logos and colors and setting it up at football games.
"The Calumet Mongolians," Johnson says.
Then he gets serious. Noting that the students don't get credit for the Enterprise work, he adds, "The credit is the satisfaction of seeing this come together."
So far, Calumet is Tech's only local partner in the high school Enterprise initiative. Two downstate high schools,
Cass Tech
and Utica, also are participating.
The program is an opportunity for students to "practice engineering and gain a spirit of entrepreneurship," says
Doug Oppliger
, a senior lecturer at Tech and director of the high school Enterprise.
A primary goal of the program is to encourage high-school students to go to college and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Oppliger hopes to make the High School Enterprise program self-sustaining through financial support from corporations and foundations and spin-off business.
Meanwhile, it's his job to advise participating high school teachers, evaluate projects, search for funding and "grow the program." He wants to involve six high schools in 2008, ten in 2009 and twelve in 2010.
Oppliger has taught engineering fundamentals at Michigan Tech for seven years. Prior to that, he taught high school for twelve years. His experience convinced him that "students learn a lot when they are involved in projects."
The Calumet High students will display their yurt at Tech's 2008 Undergraduate Expo, which showcases student work, in mid-April.
Oppliger says of the Enterprise program in general: "It's going to work." And he says of the yurt in particular: "This could be a thing of beauty."

On June 23, Edward Snowden arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, then presumably en route to Ecuador. But instead, he wound up with an incredibly harsh layover. Now, just a bit over a month later, and one week after he formally applied for asylum in Russia, Snowden reportedly has been granted papers to leave the airport and enter Russia proper.
From there, nothing gets any easier. For anyone.
This is certainly true for Edward Snowden. Russia does not currently seem like his final destination. So far, there are at least three countries that have offered to give him asylum: Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. How Snowden gets to any of those countries, though, is a major question mark. That's especially true after what happened to Bolivian President Evo Morales' recent flight from Moscow, which was stopped and searched in Austria. And Snowden would face a serious problem avoiding American airspace if he decided to make his way to Latin America. Snowden's support in the U.S. is also markedly down, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. In June, a 48 percent plurality of Americans opposed charging Snowden. In the latest poll, 53 percent are in favor of criminal charges.
That's not to mention the complicated perception that Snowden immediately gives off by accepting asylum from a country with a very dubious history on human rights and press freedom.
For Russia's Vladimir Putin, life gets a bit more complicated. Putin may enjoy being a pain to the United States, but seriously damaging Russia's relations with the U.S. isn't in his interest. And he knows that. Earlier this month, Putin said that Snowden would be allowed to stay in Russia only if he stops "his work aimed at damaging our U.S. partners, no matter how strange this sounds coming from me." Since then, Putin has repeatedly said that he will not let Snowden harm Russia's relations with the U.S., and he clearly would like to see Snowden permanently wind up elsewhere. How all of that meshes with Snowden now being free to enter Russia remains to be seen.
Of course, then there's the United States. President Obama has tried to play down Snowden's importance, but there's no question that the U.S. would really like to see him in custody. Washington will have to walk a careful line with how to handle Moscow from here. Apparently, American officials are has already been considering canceling a summit between Obama and Putin this fall, and the Snowden dispute wouldn't be the only reason. As the Obama administration prepares to take a stronger stance on Syria, Putin has continued to be one of Bashar al-Assad's most powerful backers. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Assad would never rule all of Syria again. Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., has already suggested that the U.S. boycott the 2014 Olympics in Russia. The U.S. needs to find a way to come to some agreement with Russia.
The last thing Russia-U.S. relations need right now is another complicating factor. Edward Snowden entering Russia is absolutely that.
But, hey, at least Snowden will be able to finally get out of the airport. Mohammed Al Bahish, who has been stuck in Kazakhstan's Almaty International airport for more than 120 days gets to keep his terrible record.

I've had the questionalbe pleasure of listening to Limbaugh a bit over the years and having my ear bent by some who think he's infalible.
Last week's Limbaughism is not the first absurd thing he's said, and if you get past some of the language he used last week, it is clear he either knows not how contraception works or he doesn't care, preferring to misrepresent matters of fact to make his point for his listeners.
Al Franken wrote and entire book about this: "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot". In this book he shows over and over again how Rush mistates matters of fact. Rush will say something to the effect of: I'm not making this stuff up, folks, this is all fact. Only it isn't, and he is making it up. When asked about Franken's book, Rush responded by claiming to be an entertainer and having no need to get his fact correct.
Liberals take a lot of heat in recent years from conservatives for simply beling liberal. It is not the liberals who are listening to Rush and his kind: it is conservatives.
It is also conservatives who still pay attention when Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al speak.
I can cite some specifics, such as Rush telling his audience than man is not capable of polluting the planet. Is there a sane man who agrees with that? He's said that having an abortion can leave long lasting emotional scars. That is true, but if one wishes to be honest, one must compare that abortion to the alternatives of giving a baby away for adoption or raising a child you're neither financially or emotionally prepared to raise. He omits those last two.
A lot of us liberals took a lot of heat from conservatives, even family members, when we didn't believe Saddam had any weapons or posed any threat. We were "unpatriotic". We were "atheists" (don't know how that fit in). We were not fit to be Americans if we question our president.
History has proven those of us who did not believe Saddam had the weapons to be correct.
Funny how conservatives change the rules when the president changes. Now it seems perfectly fine to make personal attacks on our president.
Those who listen to Rush, or Hannity, or O'Reilly, or some others of that ilk might re-consider who they choose to listen to.
These people are literally, IMO, poisoning the minds of those who listen to them.

A 24 hour stomach bug hit me right as we were starting our dinner at Triomphe Wednesday, it wasn't too bad at first but I ended up having to leave some awfully good wine, and just taking my main course home. Thursday I didn't feel like meat, but by Friday I was back to my usual ravenous self. So I had my Triomphian coriander crusted lamb chops with some leftover pasta, and opened a Bordeaux, the1999 Grand Puy Lacoste (Pauillac). I wasn't thrilled with this on release, finding it a bit empty, but this has really put on some nice weight in the last couple years. There are still some apparent tannins, but they are ripe and inobtrusive. A nice medium-bodied wine with food-friendly acidity, pleasant blackcurrant fruit, and notes of earth and cedar. Decent finish. This certainly isn't a blockbuster like the 1996 GPL, but a very pleasant wine for drinking right now. A B+/B on my usual easy scale.
Also, over several nights, the 2004 Dönnhoff Riesling QbA (Nahe). Tropical fruit with just a hint of Granny Smith apple peel, , a bit more fruit-forward than the structured 2002 & 2001, but with good crisp acidity and a mineral finish. Apparent sweetness is well-balanced by the acidity. Nice food-friendly wine, if not the must buy of the '01 & '02. B
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Friends, what is the meaning of abstract in Java?
We see abstract class, abstract method...
What is the word mean abstract?
We usually write Abstract classes when we want to give some default functinality to all the other classes who are of our type(sub-classes of this abs class) and in most of the cases we write abstract methods in the Abs class to force the concrete class to override the method and provide a business logic for the same.
Let me know if this does not make sense for you.
Abstract means that the method is declared but not defined. A descendant of the parent class with an abstract method must implement that method to make it work.
Thanks "nspils" and "jasprit" for posting your answers.

Asked about shooting a 47 on the back nine, Free State High's Alex Green cracked a smile, saying he switched grips and also had decided to shoot his final shots left-handed.
He was joking, of course, but that didn't stop him from believing he'd let an opportunity slip away when he fired an 86 at Alvamar Public Golf Course during Wednesday's Lawrence Invitational.
"It was just one of those days," Green said. "Golf is golf, and you just move on from it."
Green was one of a few city competitors left disappointed after playing on his home course.
Alvamar served as the third and final leg for the Sunflower League Tournament, and coming in Green had positioned himself to be in the running for a top-six finish, which would have earned him all-league honors.
Instead, the senior settled for second-team honors and an eighth-place finish (241 three-day total) after an inconsistent round that included a pair of triple bogeys on the back nine.
"It was just brutal out there," Green said. "I couldn't find a rhythm with anything."
Green was joined on the all-league second-team by teammate Wilson Hack, who led the Firebirds on Wednesday by shooting an 8-over-par 80. His three-day total of 244 was good for 12th.
"I've had a couple better tournaments that I wish would have counted for league," Hack said. "But second team … I'm not going to complain about that."
The senior had a nice recovery on the first hole after yanking his drive to the right. Following a 40-yard pitch on his third shot, he was able to hole the putt to save par.
His biggest disappointment, though, came on short putts, where he later gave a few strokes back.
"Once you see the first 16-inch putt not go in, the next one you have, you're like, 'Uh, I don't know about this one,'" Hack said. "Then you just start playing mind games with yourself. The next thing you know, you've missed four of them."
Lawrence High's Rito Mendez just missed on all-league honors, but he still posted the best city score Wednesday with a seven-over 79.
Mendez shot an even-par 36 on the front nine with seven pars, a birdie and bogey.
"I wasn't hitting the ball great, but I grinded out for pars," Mendez said. "I just made a lot of putts — important ones."
His best hole was the par-5 eighth, where he was able to drive the green in two before two-putting for a birdie.
Free State's Jack Flynn (83) and Lawrence's Cole Cummins (84) also posted top-two finishes for their respective teams.
After entering Wednesday's tournament in third place, Free State dropped to fourth in the final Sunflower League team standings with a three-day team score of 992. LHS finished sixth with a 1,020.
For the 24-team Lawrence Invitational, LHS was 10th (335), while Free State was 11th (339).
Both teams will return to Alvamar on Monday for regionals.
"We play out here every day. We're ready for Monday," Mendez said. "We just didn't play well today."
The top finishers at regionals advance to the 6A state tournament on May 20 at Meadowbrook Country Club in Prairie Village.
"The Sunflower League standings are a big deal, but regionals is what really matters," Hack said. "Hopefully, we can all come together as a team and play well."

HOBOKEN – It's not over 'til it's over. Although a New Jersey Appellate Court overturned the ruling of Hoboken Judge Peter Bariso barring Hoboken Housing Authority Executive Director Carmelo Garcia from running for a General Assembly seat in the upcoming June primaries, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the case said Wednesday that his clients would attempt to take the case all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court.
"We're of the opinion that this is not yet over," said Flavio Komuves, who is representing the five Hoboken residents who sued Garcia on the grounds that he was barred from running in a partisan election because part of his salary at the Housing Authority is funded by federal grants.
Komuves said that he would be filing a stay motion with the Appellate Court today, which would mean that the effects of its decision (for example, the printing of ballots that included Garcia's name) would be temporarily voided until an appeal could be filed with a higher court.
The legal argument in the suit is based on the New Jersey Administrative Code, which mirrors the federal Hatch Act, barring federally-funded employees from running in partisan elections. But a 2012 amendment to the Hatch Act made it easier to for employees like Garcia to run. Garcia and his lawyer argued in the appeal that the state code simply hadn't caught up to federal law.
Garcia is on a slate with Union City Mayor and State Sen. Brian Stack and Jersey City Deputy Mayor Raj Mukherji. He will be running against, amongst others, Hoboken City Councilman-at-Large Ravinder "Ravi" Bhalla, who some have speculated is behind the original suit against Garcia. Bhalla, however, has disputed that claim.
Often the winner of the Democratic primary goes on to win the general election in November.
The 33rd District includes Hoboken, Union City, Weehawken, and part of Jersey City. There is one state Senate representative in each district, and two Assembly representatives. – Dean DeChiaro

Before I introduce the code, let me say that this is not a 100% exact implementation of the interfaces that can be found in pyinotify but the implementation of a subset that matches my needs. The main idea of creating this post is to give an example of the implementation of such a library for Windows trying to reuse the code that can be found in pyinotify.
Once I have excused my self, let get into the code. First of all, there are a number of classes from pyinotify that we can use in our code. That subset of classes is the below code which I grabbed from pyinotify git:

While one of the threads is retrieving the events from the file system, the second one process them so that the will be exposed as pyinotify events. I have done so because I did not want to deal with OVERLAP structures for asyn operations in Win32 and because I wanted to use pyinotify events so that if someone with experience in pyinotify looks at the output, he can easily understand it. I really like this approach because it allowed me to reuse a fair amount of logic hat we had in the Ubuntu client and to approach the port in a very TDD way since the tests I've used are the same ones as the ones found on UbuntuRead more


text: DERBY CENTER - The face of education is changing, Superintendent Dr. Robert Kern told members of the North Country Union Junior High School Board recently, as they discussed the possibility of a middle school on the west side of the supervisory district. "The issue of equitable education is being addressed and may at some point be mandated," he said. "If a middle school is built on the west side, we are considering including grades six through eight; that will free space at the elementary schools for pre-kindergarten programs, which the state may someday mandate."Dr. Kern said the advantage of a middle school or junior high school is more course offerings because the schools have greater access to resources, including hands-on labs. With the exception of the Town of Troy, 7th and 8th grade students on the west side of Orleans County do not attend the junior high school in Derby and don't have access to vocational and other course offerings.For more of this story, see Thursday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 28, 2013.

The May 6 Daily Camera article on the risks marijuana poses to young people, completely omitted other important information on youth risk behaviors.
We know that nicotine is a substance more addicting than marijuana; more addicting, even, than some "hard" drugs. We know that alcohol and its metabolite, acetaldehyde, are carcinogenic, brain-destroying and liver-destroying. I have relatives and friends who have lost their health or lives to tobacco and/or alcohol.
Then why did the Daily Camera publish a single-focus article on marijuana, when tobacco and nicotine pose greater risks than marijuana? I am aware that the county's representative for the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, also discussed tobacco and alcohol when interviewed by the Daily Camera reporter.
Could it be that the Daily Camera is afraid of insulting the alcohol cartel (LiquorMart, Hazel's, et al) which advertises in their paper?

Webb: Feigning injury could put lives at risk
Respected referee Howard Webb, speaking for the first time about the match in which Fabrice Muamba collapsed, has warned that players feigning injury could cost lives.
Muamba suffered a heart attack on the pitch during Bolton's FA Cup match at Tottenham and Webb brought the match to an abrupt halt to allow medical staff to treat the stricken midfielder, who eventually made a miraculous recovery in hospital.
However, Webb has warned that in future referees may be reluctant to stop the game so quickly if they believe that a player is "crying wolf'' - and any delay could have been fatal for Bolton midfielder Muamba.
Speaking at a FIFA medical conference in Budapest, Webb said: "I turned and saw Fabrice Muamba lying face down on the floor with no-one else nearby - this was clearly a major concern and clearly something more than a normal injury.
"The fact that he wasn't rolling around screaming in agony, the way he went down with no contact, meant immediately it was serious. And it was not only me - the players recognised it. You see William Gallas' reaction - an opposing player - immediately waving to the bench to come on.
"If the game had not been stopped within 20 or 30 seconds, that might have made a difference to his chances of recovery.
"One of our obligations as a referee is to try and observe fair play and keep the game flowing when we can. But, if players cry wolf too many times, then there is a possibility that maybe we will not react in the way we need to do based on what we saw there.
"If we come under criticism for stopping the games too many times for doctors or physios to enter the field of play then referees might be inclined not to stop the game.
"I'm not saying it's a particularly big problem but I have seen games stopped where players weren't as seriously injured as they would have you believe and that is an issue when you are dealing with something as serious as this.''

The former wife of jailed farmer Ewen Macdonald says giving evidence at his murder trial was "probably the worst thing I have ever had to do in my life".
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Anna Guy has talked about the "heartbreaking" impact on her family after her husband was charged with the murder of her brother, Scott Guy.
Macdonald was acquitted after a trial in the High Court in July.
He was sentenced earlier this month to five years in prison for six unrelated charges, including burning down a home on Mr Guy's property and vandalising another property Scott and his wife Kylee were having built.
Ms Guy, who returned to her maiden name after her husband's trial, has previously spoken about how she felt she had lived a double life and her whole marriage was a sham.
Ms Guy told the Herald earlier this month the trust she and her husband developed since they met when she was 15 had been betrayed by Macdonald's lies.
In the 60 Minutes interview, which is being advertised to air tomorrow night as an exclusive television interview, Ms Guy will talk about "what the reality was behind the idyllic relationship portrayed by Macdonald's lawyers during the trial", a MediaWorks spokeswoman said.
She also says her children are the centre of her life.
"At the end of the day, they are my first priority," Ms Guy says.
"I just want to move forward ... and look to the future now."
