Sometimes hyphenated: demi-mondaine.
The term was coined by early 19th century French author Alexandre Dumas, and came to the English language due to the popularity of his works, including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
A demimondaine is a woman who belongs to the prostitute class called the demimonde. These women were generally supported by wealthy lovers, serving as escorts, mistresses and sexual playthings.
They were particularly popular in Victorian/Edwardian England, a time when it was common for a man to lose his virginity to a prostitute. The demimondaines ensured that a man of means would never have to associate with a common streetwalker, hussy or dollymop.
Demimondaines lived by an unusual code. They were certainly not women of polite society, but they accompanied the men of polite society. Thus they had to carry themselves as if they possessed honor, but survive as if they didn't. Their ability to live in two worlds was so important that it gave them their name.
Looking back from the early 21st century toward the innocence of the Victorian era, the disillusioned demimondaines are perhaps the easiest people to identify with. A century of atrocity later, the Victorian spirit is probably lost forever. Looking back with the assistance of period literature and historical texts, we cannot share the same blind enthusiasm for the human race that was possible in that day and age. Like a demimondaine, however, we try to suspend our knowledge of harsh realities and enjoy the glitz around us.
As an aside, steampunk fiction also often reflects contemporary pessimism with regard to the Victorian zeitgeist, and more than a few stories from that genre feature demimondaine characters. According to the OED, demimondaines had achieved their place in the public mind as "adventuresses" as early as 1859.

CAIRO — The attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in eastern Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans was carried out by a small group of militants who arrived late at night, unleashed a fusillade from AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, then torched and ransacked the building, according to witnesses and U.S. officials.
U.S. officials said the two-hour assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi appeared planned and "complex," rather than a spontaneous outbreak of mob violence in reaction to an online video, purportedly produced in the United States, that mocks the Muslim prophet Muhammad. The video had prompted protesters to scale the U.S. Embassy walls in Cairo earlier Tuesday and tear down an American flag.
President Obama vowed to work with Libyan officials "to bring to justice the killers," and ordered security beefed up at U.S. diplomatic missions around the world. The Pentagon sent about 50 Marines from Spain to help guard the embassy in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. The Pentagon is also moving two warships toward the Libyan coast.
The dead included J. Christopher Stevens, 52, the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979, and Sean Smith, a State Department information officer and Air Force veteran. The identities of the other two slain Americans were being withheld pending notification of their families, officials said.

Cry. Whimper. Whine.
But I don't wanna delete that paragraph/chapter/section of the book. It took me so long to write. There are some great moments in there. The character development is amazing.
There are so many excuses as to why that piece of writing should stay in the book. I know since I've used them all. But there's a reason that it has to go and that's because you know it does. Otherwise, you wouldn't be having the argument with yourself in the first place.
So instead of thinking about all of the reasons why it should stay, remember why it needs to go. It doesn't advance the plot. The writing is not your best. Your characters actions are forced. Whatever the reason, stop arguing with yourself and cut it out.
Can't bring yourself to hit the delete button? I feel your pain. Instead of hitting delete, why not try cutting instead. I keep a separate file for all of my scenes that no longer work or that I wrote for another section of the story. That way at least all of my work doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye, and there's always the chance that in the future I'll be able to fit in those bits.
Do you have a file for those deleted gems?

Logan recently celebrated his 27th birthday.... he's getting pretty old. j/k But I do remember attending his 22nd birthday so it does feel like we've been "together" a long time.

So here's to you, the best husband, dad, son, brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, birthday boy ever! It is always a good time when you are around.
We went to the beach and it was a PERFECT day to go. The water was warm and it was sunny and warm outside. Perfect. Afton crawled all over the place going from sea shell to sea shell. She'd pick them up tasted them and put them down. After awhile I realized she was chewing on some sea weed.... she's so sneaky and fast!
diggin up a shell
The birthday boy
My eternal companion.... lucky girl.
After the beach we went home, cleaned up and headed to Mission beach to go to Phil's BBQ. This place is great and so affordable. If your a true San Diegan you've heard of and been to Phil's. The line is always crazy long but it was well worth it to celebrate Logan's b-day.

Same cake as always... chocolate cake with fudge frosting.
He's wearing the birthday present I made him. On our first date he told that when he got older he wanted to retire early and just spend his time bbq-ing while wearing a kiss the cook apron. He's got the apron no he just needs to get older and retire. :)

Innovation is in Eau Claire's DNA
Posted by Christina on September 29th, 2014
Vibrant and delightful.
Young and Smart.
Passionate and dedicated.
Public civility and generosity.
These are the traits of of a new and emerging urban model called "Innovation Districts" – and Eau Claire's DNA is built on these defining characteristics. According to a recent post featured on "Innovation Districts", Eau Claire is poised to become cooler than Austin soon. As defined by Jane Talkington, an innovation district is:
"a collaboration by a city-college-corporation that create a connection corridor designed specifically to foster sustainable innovation between campus and collaborators."
Innovation districts exist where there are economic, physical and networking assets. Economic assets refer to innovation drivers that focus on cutting-edge technologies, innovation cultivators, and neighborhood-building amenities. Physical assets are the public and privately-owned spaces that stimulate connectivity, collaboration, and innovation. Networking assets include individuals and organizations that form relationships with the potential to generate and accelerate the advancement of ideas, fueling innovation, trust, and collaboration. As stated by Jane:
"Eau Claire has an impressive healthcare industry, a vibrant music scene, TWO gracious rivers, an authentic downtown, an enlightened redevelopment authority, a big time software company, performing arts, a delightful farmer's market, and more craft beers at brew pubs imaginable…The Confluence happening in Eau Claire is more than a development project. It is a confluence of intentions of champions and droves of Eau Claire supporters including city personnel, town fathers, UW-EC alumni, business leaders, and visionary citizens."
As with the other innovation districts currently emerging, Eau Claire has the unique potential to spur productive, inclusive, and sustainable economic development – allowing residents and employees an innovative place to live, work and play.
"Two other metrics revealed the DNA of Eau Claire; the compassion of a city can be reflected by their public civility and generosity."
The Eau Claire Area's employment trends, labor market, and quality of life culminates into thriving communities that support innovation, collaboration, and a productive environment.

Winter 2009: Of Note
Early dementia revealed by simple test
Article tools
A rapid screening test to detect mild cognitive impairment—often the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease—has been developed by Emory researchers. The findings, published in the online Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, show that the combination of a three-minute cognitive screening test called the Mini-Cog, along with a Functional Activities Questionnaire answered by a friend or relative, can identify people with mild cognitive impairment and undiagnosed dementia.
"Since current medications can only delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, but are not able to reverse its effects, a test like this is key to help individuals detect this devastating disease earlier and maintain a good quality of life for as long as possible," says Associate Professor of Neurology James Lah, lead investigator.
The test is inexpensive, easy to administer and score, and requires minimal training, says Lah. The first portion of the screening consists of a clock-drawing task and three-item recall that typically took the research participant less than five minutes to complete.

From protecting public rights in private spaces to ensuring 'permission in principle' preserves local character, Matthew Carmona is determined to reconcile public interest and private gain in well-designed places and spaces, finds David Blackman.
16.05.16 Key built environment organisations tell Greg Clark the 'stand out' recommendations from "building better places"
11.04.16 Place making through Permission in Principle: co-ordinating code
Given that Permission in Principle will soon be on the statute books, and despite continuing reservations by many, Place Alliance has sought to pragmatically investigate how the new provisions might be used positively to achieve both the Government's aim of greater certainly in the planning process, whilst still enabling the proper consideration of design and other qualitative concerns through the planning system.
The proposed solution is the use of 'coordinating codes' alongside the grant of Permission in Principle. This is explained alongside the worked example above prepared jointly with Studio REAL. We soon hope to be in a position to trial and refine the method.

by Bernadette Pajer
Poisoned Pen Press, June 2013
266 pages
In the third book in this historical mystery series, University of Washington professor Benjamin Bradshaw has become a licensed private detective, following several successful electrical forensic investigations.
News of his expertise has spread, and he gets an urgent telegram from the Healing Sands Sanitarium, a remote ocean spa southwest of Seattle. In return for his services, he can bring guests to the spa, and he does: his five summer students, his son Justin, Justin's friend, housekeeper Mrs. Prouty, investigative partner Henry Pratt, and Henry's niece, Missouri Fremont.
When they get there, Bradshaw finds that the son-in-law of the sanitarium's owners has died while undergoing electrotherapy for infertility. Most surprising, though, is that the machine that killed him was Bradshaw's own invention. After ruling out an accident, Bradshaw is on the hunt for a killer.
Pajer uses the classic mystery device of a remote site, with limited suspects. Aside from the family, there are four guests: Arnold Loomis, the disagreeable con man who sold the sanitarium the machine; a sickly guest and his manipulative wife, Frederick and Ingrid Thompson; and the wealthy Zebediah Moss. Does one of them possess the capacity for murder?
In addition to a solid plot, Pajer's novels are always interesting for the characters and the deep historical background. A main subplot involves Bradshaw's love life (or lack of one). Bradshaw is in love with Missouri Fremont, but holds back from pursuing her, even as one of his own students shows interest in the young woman. The professor is a man of routine and order, while Missouri is free-spirited and unconventional, and Bradshaw worries that their differences are insurmountable.
This book is set in 1903. Unlike previous ones, heavy on electrical innovations, here Pajer does her research, but it also includes other details, from descriptions of a large-scale agitator - an early washing machine - to turn-of-the-century medical practices. This may also be one of the few, if not the only, mystery series to carry the stamp of "peer reviewed and approved for science" by the Washington Academy of Sciences, proving that the science is indeed authentic. But even if you aren't a fan of science, Pajer has plenty to make this an interesting, lively read.

— From NBC's Chuck Todd
Yesterday, we alerted you of an attack press release from AFSCME pres. Gerald McEntee against Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, regarding her Sunday comments that the votes weren't there for health care just yet.
Today, MoveOn unveiled a TV ad, which they claim is airing in the state's major markets for the next week, targeting Feinstein on this issue.
Script follows:
"California voters sent Senator Dianne Feinstein to Washington to fight for us. That includes fighting to pass President Obama's health care plan. A recent poll shows that 71% of California voters want a significant overhaul of the health care system now.
But Feinstein has been dragging her heels, saying health care may just be too "difficult."
News flash Senator: We don't expect you to lead just on the easy issues.
Senator Feinstein, please: Fight for California. Fight for President Obama's health care reform now MoveOn.org Political Action is responsible for the content of this advertising."

An In-depth Look at American Military Tactics That Re-Wrote The Battle Field History.
A CV-22 Osprey flown by USAF 8th Special Operations Squadron.
This specially designed aircraft enables special forces units to pass and receive information in realtime enhancing their battle field awareness.
The September 11th attacks in the US rattled the Americas' intelligence community and its' military brass. The then defence secretary, Donald Rumsfield assembled a select group of Republican policy makers who drafted what has been known as "The Bush Doctrine." This was a radical perspective by a leader whose strength had been questioned and tested. America needed to act. The entire structure of American defence strategy was revised and what came to be known as "The war on Terror" was born. Iran, Iraq, Syria and North Korea were labelled as " the axis of evil" and as Bush intoned "… if you are not with us, you are against us." These led to two invasions and a long drawn out war that tested America's resilience. The emergence of the Joint Special Operations Command under General Stanley McChrystal however reversed the dynamics of the war on terror. It is the outcome and future of this clandestine body that is discussed herein.
A special forces officer during training. The effective co-ordination of the mind, eye and body is a key feature emphasized during this exercise.
Handed a killer weapon…..
Ever since he took power President Obama has worked towards winding down the war on terror. His administration however, working in deep secrecy, has brought some of the most wanted terrorists to book in a war that has been largely covert. Obama has had at his disposal a team of highly trained operatives never seen before outside movie theaters. These teams have been under a specially created and later enhanced Joint Special Operations Command.
It was established in 1980 on recommendation of Col. Charlie Beckwith, in the aftermath of the failure of Operation Eagle Claw. It is located at Pope Field (Fort Bragg) in North Carolina, USA. The JSOC is a component command of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and is charged to study special operations requirements and techniques to ensure interoperability and equipment standardization, plan and conduct special operations exercises and training, and develop Joint Special Operations Tactics.
Lethal killer units.
It is among these that if we are to see a speedy and effective end to the Syrian conflict that Mr. Obama should tap into. The highly trained units include the;
1. Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment—Delta,
2.The Navy's Naval Special Warfare Development Group, and
3. The Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron.
Other units from the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment are controlled by JSOC when deployed as part of JSOC Task Forces such as Task Force 121 and Task Force 145.
What makes these soldiers uniquely lethal ?
Before joining the hallowed ranks of these group the pre-selection process involved ensures that only the best of the best are selected. First one has to be a trained member of the U.S military.
The initial formal training program for entry into Special Forces is divided into four phases collectively known as the Special Forces Qualification Course or, informally, the "Q Course". The length of the Q Course changes depending on the applicant's primary job field within Special Forces and their assigned foreign language capability but will usually last between 55 to 95 weeks.
After successfully completing the Special Forces Qualification Course, Special Forces soldiers are then eligible for many advanced skills courses. These include, but are not limited to, the Military Free Fall Parachutist Course (MFF), the Combat Diver Qualification Course and the Special Forces Sniper Course (SFSC). Most of the training undertaken here is classified.
No effort, resource or technology is spared in sculpting the deadliest killing machine for combat. These officers do not undertake publicly acknowledged missions and will not carry U.S.A insignia during their missions.
The CIA America's premier clandestine organization too has its own deadly troops under what is known as the "Special Activities Division."
The CIA's formal position for these individuals is "Paramilitary Operations Officers" and "Specialized Skills Officers." Paramilitary Operations Officers attend the Clandestine Service Trainee (CST) program, which trains them as clandestine intelligence operatives (i.e. "spies"; known as "Core Collectors" within the Agency).
The primary strengths of SAD/SOG Paramilitary Officers are operational agility, adaptability, and deniability. They often operate in small teams, typically made up of six operators (with some operations being carried out by a single officer), all with extensive military special operations expertise and a set of specialized skills that does not exist in any other unit.
As fully trained intelligence case officers (i.e. spies), Paramilitary Operations Officers possess all the clandestine skills to collect human intelligence—and most importantly—to recruit assets from among the indigenous troops receiving their training. These officers often operate in remote locations behind enemy lines to carry out direct action (including raids and sabotage), counter-intelligence, guerrilla/ unconventional warfare, counter-terrorism, and hostage rescue missions, in addition to being able to conduct espionage via HUMINT(Human Intelligence) assets.
There are four principal elements within SAD's Special Operations Group:
1. The Air Branch.
2. The Maritime Branch.
3. The Ground Branch.
4. The Armor and Special Programs Branch.
A member of the the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron parachutes with a specially trained canine.
The Armor and Special Programs Branch is charged with development, testing, and covert procurement of new personnel and vehicular armor and maintenance of stockpiles of ordnance and weapons systems used by SOG, almost all of which must be obtained from clandestine sources abroad, in order to provide SOG operatives and their foreign trainees with plausible deniability in accordance with U.S. Congressional directives.
With all these resources at your disposal Barrack Obama will look to Admiral William H.McRaven the Commander of the J.S.O.C to provide options for his military strategy in Syria. It was from this command that Navy SEAL team six credited with the killing of Osama Bin Laden was assembled. The covert missions likely to be undertaken may include;
1. Targeted assasination of key regime leaders.
2. Guiding and pinpointing of targets for targeted air strikes.
3. Battle field tactical intelligence gathering.
4. Establishing of forward operating bases(FOB) for advancing ground troops.
There are operations carried out by these teams that are rarely acknowledged even in official circles. This involves the license to operate behind enemy lines, acting as teams of killers backed up with a billion-dollar military technology machine. Terrorists have in many instances been surprised in their sleep by dark silent figures with painted faces, who quietly end their lives and vanish into darkness. Special operations officers are trained in disguising, and blending in unfamiliar environment that you would hardly notice one. Many a suicide bomber has been caught unawares performing their last rituals by a hooded figure whom he assumed to be a fellow Muslim. What follows is usually a mortal blow delivered in form of an effective knife to the base of their spine or through the heart. Basically these are government sponsored assassins trained exclusively in the art of death.
Another tactical advantage the U.S has are the super-computers at the National Security Agency, (NSA). Recently brought to light by renegade C.I.A officer revelations, the NSA has the ability to listen in to all electronic communication the world over, process it and validate that with strategic or tactical significance in any ongoing operation. That means that President Assad of Syria will be unable to conventionally communicate with his lieutenants without risking the exposure of his strategy or position. He may choose to use trusted couriers to convey messages, a strategy employed by Osama Bin Laden that lead to his death( It was a courier trusted with delivering and passing messages that lead C.I.A teams to his hideout in Abottabad in Pakistan).
NSA's deadly capability has been demonstrated time and again. During the war in Iraq, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musaf Al Zaqawi took time out to venture into the mountains. He wanted to make a secure call to his lieutenants in the battle field. It is estimated that the second he dialed his phone an unmanned predator drone in the skies of Iraq immediately changed its course and zeroed in on the grid location from where Abu Musaf was making his call, apparently in secure wilderness. By the time the cell phone timer read 20 seconds the predator drone had the Al Qaeda leader on its gunsights. It took the push of a button from a military officer seated behind a screen at the United States Central Command in Doha to bring to an end the most sought after terrorist next to Bin Laden.
An un-manned aerial vehicle also known as predator drone
Battle field conditions for a special forces soldier.
News services go to great lengths to point out the failures of military operations wherever they occur. It is however the clandestine operations that still remain highly classified that have brought Al Qaeda to its knees. Killing bin Laden was just the culmination of a furious, decade-long pace of lethal operations, involving hundreds of Afghanistan night raids in a single year.
It will be up-to military planners and tacticians to judge the value of employing what it deems best. Presidents have a special relationship, legally and personally, with the country's elite special-missions units. In secret annexes to several presidential directives, JSOC is designated as the official executive agent for counterterrorism worldwide. It nominally reports to the Defense secretary, but the president can task it directly and often does. Presidents get to know the majors and colonels who command Delta Force units and the captains who lead the SEAL platoons.
Before the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, President Obama had experience monitoring a white-knuckles counterterrorism operation. In the early morning hours of April 12, 2009, less than three months after the president took office, Somali pirates were holding an American merchant-marine captain captive.
Conducting raids in Afghan villages
Three Navy SEALS had three pirates in the sights of their long-barreled Barrett BMG rifles. A SEAL platoon leader stood on the deck of the USS Bainbridge, on patrol in the Indian Ocean off Somalia, directing the operation as Obama listened in. The president had already given them the authorization to shoot if the life of the hostage was in danger.
Moments later, the SEAL snipers snapped their triggers, and the hostage situation was over.
Just months after the Somalia episode, the White House authorized a large expansion of clandestine military and intelligence operations worldwide, sanctioning activities in more than a dozen countries. Obama gave JSOC unprecedented authority to track and kill terrorists, to "mow the lawn," as one former top JSOC commander was quoted;in turn, JSOC would keep al-Qaida from regenerating the networks and branches needed to mount large-scale attacks against the U.S homeland.
JSOC's warriors have inverted the way that asymmetric warfare is fought by becoming a little bit like crime-scene investigators. Using techniques as simple as basic forensics and as advanced as Radio Frequency Identification chip technology that remains highly classified, JSOC forces have sought to move faster than the enemy and to get inside the decision loop of terrorists and insurgents.
JSOC has brought intelligence analysts to the battlefield and created fusion centers so that evidence that might help identify terrorist plots could be processed as soon as it was found, rather than languishing in an FBI lab back in the States. The operators are in the same room with the intelligence analysts. JSOC "borrowed" surveillance and reconnaissance assets from the rest of the military, becoming its own hotbed of intelligence analysis. The operational tempo has been increased significantly. The time between the flash and the bang seems to become as short as that between lightning and thunder. You raided a house, you found evidence, you processed it, and you were on to the next battle, quickly and efficiently.
And so it will be the Joint Special Operations Command that decides how the United States Of America engages in its future wars. The JSOC has the biggest trump card of all to play, institutionally: It works.
The United States Navy's Sea, Air, Land Teams, commonly known as the Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's principal special operations force and a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command and United States Special Operations Command.
"SEAL" is always capitalized in reference to members of the Naval Special Warfare community. The acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land.
The labyrinth that is NSA computer network with unprecedented capabilities in communication monitoring.

Every girl dreams of finding the right person, falling in love, getting married, and living happily ever after. Most of us don't think that anything negative can possibly come as a result of being in a committed relationship.
Or at least that's what I thought, until I moved in with my now husband a couple months before our wedding. Much to my dismay, an extra five to ten pounds took up permanent residence on my formerly size 0-2 rockin' bod -- making my dress almost impossible to zip on my big day. (For the record, it did -- but not without my skin getting pinched.)
Before I got married, I was the thinnest I'd ever been in my entire life. And as someone who always struggled with my weight, being tiny was a huge accomplishment.
I may not have realized it at the time, but the main reason I was able to get down to such a small size and keep my weight in check was simply because I was a single woman living alone in her own apartment eating meals by herself every night.
I didn't have to cook for anyone, so there were no leftovers. I didn't go out for nice dinners multiple times a week, so there was no overindulging. And I also didn't eat when I wasn't hungry, which was easy, because there was no one else in my household who needed to be fed, so there were no added temptations.
And then I went and got married and it all went in the crapper and now I'm trying to lose the extra 10 pounds I've been carrying off and on again for years, and keeping it off seems next to impossible. (I'm not bitter. I swear.)
Sorry, girls -- entering into a serious relationship can have serious consequences on the size of your waistline, and I'm not the only one battling the bulge after tying the knot. (Just ask my BFF what happened to her after she moved in with her fiance. She'll back me up, here.)
Of course, I guess there are exceptions to this unfortunate rule, like Kelly Clarkson, for example. Kelly says she lost 18 pounds in a month after falling in love with her fiance, Brandon -- which made my head spin a little. I mean, maybe it's because she had a huge case of butterflies or something like that, but most girls aren't lucky enough to lose weight after they start seriously dating someone. (Just wait 'til you get hitched, honey. Those 18 pounds are coming right back at'cha.)
Hmm. Maybe if I really want to get back to my former itty-bitty self again, all I need to do is either move out, or at least start living like a single person. No more dinners out. Healthy frozen entrees or single baked potatoes for dinner. And no more sharing popcorn on movie night.
(Nah. Maybe those extra 10 pounds aren't so bad after all.)
Did you gain weight after falling in love?

Is it OK to go caravanning?
Camping and caravanning have long enjoyed a close association, yet while there is little doubt that camping is low impact, should caravanning be considered in the same green light?...
Towing a caravan halfway across the country can reduce a car's fuel efficiency by up to 30%, according to co2balance.com. Some caravan parks pack in hundreds of static as well as touring caravans, blot the landscape, disturb wildlife and drain local water supplies all year round. Yet others are going the extra mile to green up their act.
Each year David Bellamy hands out awards to caravan parks that protect habitats for plants and wildlife, use energy efficient technologies, and provide recycling facilities. Two of the best are Greendale Farm Park - a small, 15-pitch site near Rutland Water (rutlandgreendale.co.uk, 01664 474516), and Skelwith Fold Caravan Park, a 130-acre woodland site in the Lake District, which is home to deer, badgers and red squirrels, and described by Bellamy as a "wildlife wonderland" (skelwithfold.co.uk, 015394 32277). Both parks are finalists in this year's Enjoy England Awards for Excellence.
This article, by Richard Hammond, was first published in the Guardian.

text: ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2009 – QED Technologies Inc. has released the Aspheric Stitching Interferometer (ASI) metrology system to measure steep aspheres. The ASI measures aspheres with as much as 1000 waves of departure from the best fit sphere without the use of null lenses or computer-generated holograms, reducing the lead time for producing aspheres. It is based on the company's subaperture stitching technology and is complemented by its patent-pending Variable Optical Null technology, a programmable opto-mechanical subsystem that generates a wavefront closely matching the surface of the asphere subaperture being measured. It takes high resolution subaperture measurements over the entire optical surface and the results are stitched together to form a full aperture map of the asphere being tested.For more information, visit: www.qedmrf.comQED Technologies Inc.1040 University AvenueRochester, NY 14607 Phone: (585) 256-6540Fax: (585) 256-3211

New regular spot for Chinese discovered
RYAN DUVALL | The Journal Gazette
Yu's Golden China
Out of a possible five
The saying, "You eat with your eyes first," usually applies to the food.
But in the case of Yu's Golden China, it applied to so much more.
Given it is one of Fort Wayne's oldest Chinese restaurants, Golden China has a long list of satisfied customers from its original spot on the north side of Washington Center Road just west of Lima Road.
Well, much had changed recently. The Yu family, which took ownership about 15 years ago, added their name to the marquee when they moved out of their way-past-its-prime building across the street to Washington Plaza. The new spot, which was once Switta Thai, looks way better and my experiences were way better since my last visit, too.
There are no sunken floors, stained carpet or dilapidated tables. It is new and clean, the tile floors are pristine and the decor has modern touches with enough Asian decor to not be gaudy. The giant Ming-style faces still flank what is one of the saddest fish tanks I have ever seen as you walk in – a vacant tank with big tropical fish sadly swimming around without a speck of gravel in the tank much less plants or rock formations. That aside, the new look is fantastic.
And so was most of the food.
My first tastes were great, starting with the simple egg rolls.
The ground pork inside was still moist and nicely peppered. The cabbage and carrot slices were fresh and crisp as was the not-at-all-oily fried wrapper.
The crab rangoon triangles were generously stuffed with a standard sweet cream cheese filling and I loved them with some of Golden China's spicy mustard. The shrimp toast had a lot of ground shrimp atop the toast that stood out and could be tasted – often not the case in other restaurants. It was a little greasy but still worth having again.
Don't bother with the pot stickers as they had a very bland filling and were very greasy on the outside.
When it came to the complimentary soup, the hot and sour was the clear choice. I recently met longtime Golden China carry-out regular Jim Childers who told me he swore by it and that his family has not found a version that stacks up anywhere else.
What made this soup so good was its balance. It was not too sour and not too hot, so folks who might shy away from it because of its spice level should not worry. It was a step above the egg drop, which was also a fine choice thanks to the unexpected bits of chicken and finely diced water chestnuts in the thin egg broth.
At lunch, the soup offers vary – an owner said you can find the soup du jour offerings online – and I loved the chicken noodle. It had a light, clear, but nicely seasoned broth with crunchy carrots, onions, celery and cabbage, as well as tender slices of chicken and slivers of what appeared to be egg roll wrappers as the noodles.
I overheard that owner telling another table that his favorite beef dish was the Steak Kew, so that was a must-try, and I must have it again. The chunks of filet mignon at the center of this dish were super tender and had a nice wok char which gave them a from-the-grill essence. It, too, had big slices of crispy, fresh celery, onion, carrot and water chestnuts and was enrobed in a rich, dark garlic sauce dotted with minced garlic pieces. It was hearty and delicious.
I went to the sea for my next entr�e – but stuck with the garlic – and ordered the enticing-sounding Lobster in Garlic Sauce. This spicy, thick sauce had a less garlic punch and just enough heat to perfectly flavor the shellfish without overpowering. The lobster chunks were saut�ed in the shell and were cooked just right so the meat had the perfect consistency. It had a lot of crunchy green peppers, water chestnuts and carrots, but none of the menu-promised bamboo shoots or tree ear mushrooms.
When it came to more mundane Chinese offerings, the almond chicken was the clear winner with diced celery, carrots, water chestnuts and super tender chicken all uniformly sized to make it easy to eat. There were also plenty of sweet green peas mixed in and toasty almond slivers across the top. Its brown, soy-based sauce was pretty standard and let the ingredients do the work, which was a good thing.
The pork lo mein was wonderfully executed with surprisingly succulent strips of pork and just a little cabbage, onions and bean sprouts. Those ingredients and every al dente noodle was coated in a light brown sauce that provided the perfect kiss of the standard sort of salty, slightly sweet Asian flavor without masking the flavors of the meat and vegetables.
The Orange Chicken was better than the General Tso's as it was crispier and held up better under its thick, somewhat gelatinous sauce. There were no rogue pieces of tough, overcooked chicken in the dish, the orange was present and had a perfect level of spice. The General chicken had much less spice and was not at all crispy.
In addition to the new looks, I experienced some newfound stellar service that I struggled to find at the previous location. My servers were quick to remove dirty dishes, seemed genuinely happy to be waiting on me and answered every question that was asked promptly.
So I guess I have found a new regular spot for Chinese food. And it came as quite a surprise. Places that have been around so long and which have worn out their spaces often fade into history.
But not this one. This one just got better than it ever was.

The great love of my life is a country and it pains me to say it, but up until recently, I thought we might have to break up.
Let me explain. I'm a Scottish woman who's lived in England for nine years (yes, long distance can work) and the current government's pursuit for independence has seriously unmoored me from my nationality.
Not just because I'm anti-separatist, but because the independence debate has become muddled with what is perceived as Scottish culture - what it means to be Scottish.
Prior to the referendum push, English friends used to talk to me about Belle & Sebastian, Idlewild and Iain Banks. Where's Byres Road? Is everyone three degrees of separation from Alex Kapranos? Where do you stay during The Fringe?
Trainspotting, The Boy With The Arab Strap and The Wasp Factory were - for better or worse - tied up with what everyone else regarded as Scottish. And even though this meant two of our most potent exports focused on junkies and messed up families, Scotland was a cultural firework.
Its humour dark, its ideas uncompromising, its voice so distinctive. The music scene in Glasgow was feverently namechecked as one of the coolest in the world (well, it did produce Mogwai, Jesus & The Mary Chain and Teenage Fan Club) and Timorous Beasties, Rennie Mackintosh and Francis Cadell, revered as geniuses.
But now all people want to talk about is Alex Salmond. Blah, blah, blah; Salmond, Salmond, Salmond. God, I'm sick of it. He's overshadowed all of the infinitely more interesting things about my country and it's breaking my heart.
So here's the thing: Scottish culture must be kept separate from the separatist movement. Otherwise those outside the country will largely see Scotland simply as a nation with a bone to pick. Trust me, it's happening already.
The politics of this government must not eclipse centuries of science, art and literature. If they do? Our country's true legacy will be overshadowed by grudge politics and stupid Braveheart-informed idiocy.
After the Question Time PR blood bath in June, I was near turning my back on the whole thing. I don't recognise this country or these people, I thought. Maybe it's time for me and my fair Caledonia to call it quits.
But then, last week, I tuned in to BBC Radio Scotland. I listened to a programme on Orkney Folk Festival and danced round my kitchen to Boys of the Lough. I liked the whole vibe and friendliness of that show so much I stayed on the station for Roddy Hart's show, which joyfully opened with Glasgow band Camera Obscura.
Four hours of listening later, I had reconnected with why I'm proud of Scotland and being Scottish. How? Because I recognised the good humour, the strong heritage and the lyrics so tied up with our culture. I loved the chattiness, the feeling that everyone's welcome and the brilliant music produced by my little country.
But the thing I loved most of all was there wasn't a smidge of grudge politics. And do you know why? Because that's not our culture, it's just what one party seems hellbent on making it. If you ask me, we shouldn't let them.

Brad Pitt has revealed that he is designing a line of furniture.
The Killing Them Softly star has been busy working on a range of pieces with designer Frank Pollaro, according to Architectural Digest magazine.
The star is set to unveil about 12 pieces in New York, including chairs, tables and a bed. Brad, who is engaged to actress Angelina Jolie, has also been working on a cocktail table and a bath for two.
The actor told the mag his ideas have been in the pipeline for some time, explaining: "I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered [Charles Rennie] Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright. Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French.
"It forever changed my life."
However, Brad's fans will have to dig deep if they want to snap up one of the star's offerings, as it seems they will come with a hefty price tag.
Pollaro said his prices are "typically at the highest end of the custom-furnishings scale, and these will be up there, even north of that".

- Program Number
- Series Description
Gardening program hosted by Jim Wilson and joined by Bob Smaus, Roger Swain, Lucinda Mays and Peter Seabrook as international travel correspondent. Series chef is Marion Morash. Special correspondent is Holly Shimizu. The Boston-based Victory Garden (w/ Roger Swain) is located at a private residence; Victory Garden South is at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia; Victory Garden West is at Roger's Garden Center in Corona del Mar, California. Original program: Crockett's Victory Garden - premiered April 6, 1976. Hosted by Jim Crockett. Second host Bob Thomson (for 12 years till 1991). Series release date: 1976
- Program Description
Roger Swain opens in the suburban garden showcasing a true blue flower, Gentiana asclepiadea 'willow gentian.'
In the cottage garden, he displays the dwarf Canadian hemlock 'Labar White Tip,' which has sprouted new white needles. He then shows off the wonderful golden blossoms of rosa 'Polka' at the trellis. It's a fast-growing, disease- resistant rose that is a repeat bloomer. He ties the long canes to the trellis with soft jute. Bending the canes gently into a horizontal position increases flowering.
At the wall garden, Roger takes cuttings of various coleus that have grown outdoors in pots all summer. He clips non-flowering shoots, cuts them just below the node, prunes away the lower leaves and dips them into a rooting powder. He then "pots" them into a free-draining tray filled with pearlite. Water well and keep covered in a plastic "tent" in the shade. They will root within a couple of weeks.
Holly Shimizu is in Mt. Desert Island, Maine, with landscape architect Patrick Chassé. Together they tour a private garden where the house becomes a gateway to the garden and water views ahead. Highlights:
Laburnum sp. 'Beantree' Pinus strobus - Eastern white pine Heliotropium 'Royal Fragrance' Artemesia ludoviciana 'Silver King' Delphinium 'Summer Skies' Astilbe sp. Lilium 'Toscana' Aconitum sp. (blue spikes) malus hupehensis 'tea crab apple' (espaliered)
Mr. Chassé brings us to a wooded area where the ground is a lush carpet of moss. To encourage moss, eliminate weeds that compete with it and fallen leaves. Keep it moist and grow in acidic soil.
Back in the vegetable garden, Roger harvests peppers 'Redstart' for Marian's one-dish recipe using chicken, peppers, and other vegetables.
Roger Swain closes showcasing canna 'Russian Red,' casta bean plan and plant-of-the-week Eupatorium purpureum 'Big Umbrella.'

Deaf Hub
Zebra Access, a local charity based in Wolverhampton has secured funding from the Big Lottery Fund to develop services for deaf people. This new project will address the main needs of deaf people in Wolverhampton by providing appropriate access to information and services.
Despite Wolverhampton being home to a large community of deaf people, there is no 'helpline' or Community Centre where they can raise their issues. This negatively impacts upon the local Deaf Community and can lead to a number of wider issues such as, social exclusion, isolation, low self-esteem and low educational achievements as well a lack of employment opportunities.
Due to this, there is a demand for a community hub where service users can go to discuss their issues, be signposted to appropriate services and be supported in their preferred communication method (i.e. British Sign Language, sign supported English, lip-reading etc.) The project will also develop an accessible society to meet the communication needs of deaf people by offering community and youth development, advocacy and communication awareness services.
Chris Beech, Project Development and Training Officer said, "Being awarded this funding has given deaf people and communities a lifeline in this time of austerity, which has seen many provisions and services disappear over the past few years. This is a great opportunity to provide support to deaf people and the local community, and will allow them to overcome any barriers. This project is driven by deaf people and communities and we would like to thank the Big Lottery Fund for giving us this opportunity."
Zebra Access, a Deaf-led charity founded in 2005, is dedicated to ensuring that all deaf people enjoy equal participation and access to services and opportunities without communication barriers. The charity's vision is to give deaf people better chances in life by providing a range of accessible activities such as training and workshops with the provision of support, education and advice.

It was a good Saturday night for UFC and Strikeforce veterans in Kansas City, Missouri who took to the cage at GWC: British Invasion, as a number of known competitors came away from the event with a hand raised including the likes of Andre Winner, Oli Thompson, Bobby Lashley, and Kendall Grove. Of course, not all of the card's biggest names exited in triumph, as Drew Fickett and Ricco Rodriguez were among the list of the event's losers.
Grove picked up a TKO win in the first frame of his fight with Danny Mitchell. The performance improved his record to 18-13 and snapped a three-fight skid for the Ultimate Fighter 3 champion.
Meanwhile, Lashley is now 9-2 after securing the fifth submission of his career, choking out Matt Larsen less than two minutes into their tilt. The former WWE Superstar has won four of his last five fights.
Read below for a full rundown of GWC: British Invasion results:
Jake Murphy def. Tony Hervey via Unanimous Decision

In late January, Donald Trump skipped a Fox News presidential debate in Iowa to host a fundraiser for "wounded warriors and veterans." The event reportedly raised $6 million, including $1 million from the White House hopeful's own pocket.
The Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has a spectacularly poor record of donating to veterans, claimed the money was distributed among various organizations and charities. However, there was no proof of it, and the Trump campaign, as usual, divulged very little information about the recipients.
In May, four months after Trump said he had donated the money, Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold reached out to various veteran groups and asked them if they had received a check from the business mogul. No one had.
After coming under intense media scrutiny over the issue, Trump told the Post he had given $1 million donation to a group that provides scholarships to the children of fallen Marines.
On Tuesday, the presumptive GOP nominee even called a press conference to blast reporters who had questioned the whereabouts of the money he had raised for the veterans during the televised event. To prove his point, his campaign also released the names of the charities.
Interestingly, about half of the charities mentioned had not received the funds until May 24 — the same day The Washington Post had questioned Trump about the money. The Associated Press spoke with 30 of the 41 organizations listed and about half of them said they did not receive a check until last week.
Recommended: Trump Hasn't Given A Single Cent To Charity In Five Years
In fact, the checks were dispatched via overnight express a day after Trump claimed they were sent.
"The press should be ashamed of themselves," Trump complained during the press conference. "Instead of being like, 'Thank you very much, Mr. Trump,' or 'Trump did a good job,' everyone's saying, 'Who got it? Who got it? Who got it?' and you make me look very bad. I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job."
The ever-humble real estate magnate also shamed the media for forcing him to "take credit" for the donations.
"If we could, I wanted to keep it private because I don't think it's anybody's business if I wanna send money to the vets," he added, before going on to call ABC News journalist Tom Llamas a "sleaze" for asking follow-up questions about Trump's honesty.
It is safe to assume that after all the flip-flopping Trump did concerning the actual amount of the funds raised and its distribution, if media had not questioned him about the cash, few veterans groups would've seen a dime.

Memoirs of Edessa And Other Ancient Syriac Documents.: Part VII
From the homily composed by the holy Mar Jacob, the teacher, on the fall of idols. 2955
To Edessa he made his journey, and found in it a great work:
For the king was become a labourer for the church, and was building it.
The apostle Addæus stood in it like a builder,
And King Abgar laid aside his diadem and builded with him.
When apostle and king concurred the one with the other,
What idol must not fall before them?
Satan fled to the land of Babylon from the disciples,
And the tale of the crucifixion had got before him to the country of the Chaldeans.
He said, when they were making sport of the signs of the Zodiac, that he was nothing.
From Cod. Add. 14,624, apparently written in the ninth century.

Q: Did you think at one stage that she might quit the match?
ANASTASIA PAVYLUCHENKOVA: No, I mean, I really wished so. I was like, Please. No, I'm just kidding, of course.
Oh, Pavs.
Serena was absolutely lights out in the first set, winning easily at 61 and playing in a T-Gab like zone. But she got woozy in the second set and had to call the trainer, who took her temperature and checked her pulse. She complained of dizziness, took a pill, lost the second set 16, and then came back to take the third 62. Serena said after the match the doctor said a bug was going around and that she needed to eat and rest to avoid getting a cold.
Stress if if you're a ReRe fan. Just as she was hitting her stride she hits this bump in the road. The next bump in the road? Shahar.
