One of the more striking examples of the power of randomization is its use in the estimation of the volume of a polytope. Given an oracle that declares (for a given point) whether it's inside or outside the polytope, a randomized algorithm can get an arbitrarily good approximation to the volume, even though the problem is #P-Complete. A deterministic algorithm, on the other hand, will fail miserably.
A related question that I was curious about is the surface area estimation problem. Given a polytope defined by the intersection of hyperplanes (we can assume that the input promises to yield a bounded polytope for now), can we estimate its surface area efficiently ? Now, one can use a volume oracle on each hyperplane to determine the area of the face it contributes to (if at all), but I was wondering if there was a more direct method (especially since the above approach is far more wasteful than necessary, especially in small dimensions).
There's even a practical reason to do fast surface area estimation, at least in 3D: this is used as a heuristic for building efficient space partitionings for ray tracing.

We accept…diversity
- 3 Artículos
Anthropomorphic studies have shown that man has evolved to the present state from common ancestors. Diversity has indeed two possible notional outcomes - either of accepting everyone equally, as Mother Teresa did, in the spirit of one humanity or else engage in conflicts and violence.
However, in the present times, the younger generation has been showing a great deal of genuine acceptance of other youth with an open-mindedness and lack of cultural differences. If some youth are led to fanatical decisions and acts, it is due very often to poverty or misguided notions fed by adults with firm culture-based biases.
The present involvement of youth in this conference instituted by the UN fills me with hope that we can bring global awareness and the values of care, concern and sharing as a world order.

Bruce Springsteen, "High Hopes" (Columbia)
Bruce Springsteen albums are most often well-constructed, cohesive statements, but "High Hopes" is something different – a collection of covers and leftovers from the last decade or so.
As such, it feels like a musical tag sale, albeit one in a very nice neighborhood. Springsteen credits Tom Morello as his muse here, and his snarling, squealing guitar does more than anything to tie everything together. Their duet on a ferocious version of the two decade-old song, "The Ghost of Tom Joad," is clearly the album's high point.
Another song familiar to fans, "American Skin (41 Shots)," feels bloated and dated, not helped that a decade's worth of news has made the incident that inspired it recede from the mind.
The success of a tag sale depends largely on individual taste, of course. We're partial to some of the exuberant pop songs here: the title cut and "Just Like Fire Would" are both obscure cover songs. Springsteen's own "Frankie Fell in Love" is a lark with funny lyrics. They will remind fans of the treasure trove of unreleased material recorded before "Darkness on the Edge of Town," much of it so good that when it finally saw the light of day you wondered what he'd been thinking to keep it hidden so long.
Some of the material on this disc was originally set aside for good reason, but Springsteen's loyal audience will find things to enjoy. It's best not to come in with hopes too high.

Jennifer Nettles, "That Girl" (Mercury Nashville)
As lead singer in the contemporary country duo Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles and partner Kristian Bush kept growing increasingly experimental over four albums. For her first solo album, "That Girl," Nettles takes a different tact, stripping her songs to their basics – both sonically and emotionally.
Nettles is blessed with a voice that features a wide range and a distinct, vinegary tone. But it's her ability to connect with a song's emotional content that makes her stand out most. "That Girl" shows off that quality remarkably well, whether she's singing an open-hearted ballad like "This Angel," a playful yet meaningful bopper like "Moneyball" or a complicated confessional like the title cut.
Producer Rick Rubin balances spare acoustic arrangements with inventive rhythms and orchestrations. Even the most dramatic moments shine because of a deft, light touch, from the Latin rhythms of "Jealousy" to the way horns come in on "This One's For You" to how drums and strings are introduced in "Me Without You."
"That Girl" is a 1970s-style creative statement, recalling classic Carole King and Linda Ronstadt rather than any of her country or pop contemporaries. It's a reminder of how powerful music can be when it comes from the heart – and tilts more toward talent than technology.
– Michael McCall, Associated Press
Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound, "Fine Rude Thing" (Groovesburg Joys)
Within the narrow confines of 1960s R&B, Paul Cebar throws a lot at the wall. And most of his shtick sticks.
"Fine Rude Thing" lives up to its title from the pickup to the first measure, with Cebar screaming something unintelligible before the baritone sax joins in. The tune quickly settles into a satisfying groove, and that's where Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound remains for the rest of the 11-song set, ramshackle yet super-tight.
Most of the tunes recall hitmakers of the distant past – Dion on "Baby Shake," Al Green on "You Owe It to You," Sly Stone on "Might Be Smiling" and the Shangri-Las on "Not Necessarily True." There's some ska, a taste of the Caribbean and the closing "Like Loving People Do," which sounds like a New Orleans traffic jam.
Almost everything swings, including "Shack & Shambles," which manages to overcome Cebar's worst singing. His two-pack-a-day vocals are sometimes an asset, however, and he can make a roadhouse seem like home.
"Hope you make it through another struggling day," he sings. This album helps.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Five unanswered goals by MIT during the last nine minutes of the first half proved to be the difference as it held on for a 13-10 win over Bridgewater State College in a non-conference women's lacrosse game on Saturday. Casey Flynn registered five goals for the Engineers (1-2), including three straight during the pivotal stretch. Shannon Manning led the Bears with four goals and one assist in their season-opener.
Flynn put MIT on the board with a free-position shot after 2:02 elapsed which was followed by an unassisted goal from Samantha O'Keefe. Bridgewater State quickly evened the contest at two courtesy of free-position strikes from Manning and Courtney Lannon. The Engineers regained their two-goal advantage on blasts by O'Keefe 13 seconds apart as Erica Little picked up the assist on the second strike. Midway through the half, the Bears knotted the contest again on back-to-back goals from Katie DeMaio. Each side exchanged goals before the Cardinal and Gray mounted its 5-0 run. Flynn notched the first three goals, with the last being setup by Kelly Duncan. Duncan completed the rally with a free-position shot and an unassisted goal to put MIT up, 10-5, at the break.
Little's solo effort extended the Engineers' margin early in the second stanza, but Bridgewater State responded with three straight goals to cut its deficit in half (11-8). Manning notched an unassisted goal and then found Kristin White for her first tally of the year. Manning then capped the spurt on a free-position shot with 17:29 on the clock. After being held scoreless for 14 minutes, the Flynn-Duncan connection returned which was followed by a free-position goal from Little at the 11:06 mark. The Bears continued to attack as Patricia Maloney and Lannon closed out the scoring.
Stephanie Brenman registered a game-high eight groundballs to go along with three draw controls, two caused turnovers, and a goal for the Engineers. In addition to her two goals and an assist, Little totaled three draw controls. O'Keefe recorded a hat-trick and two draw controls as Duncan finished with two goals and two assists. In net, Molly McCartin collected two saves.
Adding to her team-high scoring effort, Manning posted four draw controls and two caused turnovers. Erin Quimby amassed five groundballs, four draw controls, and four caused turnovers as DeMaio and Lannon each tallied two goals. In net, Katie Weber grabbed six saves.
MIT returns to action on Sunday, March 22 when it takes on Eastern Connecticut State University in West Palm Beach, Fla. Bridgewater State continues its road trip on Tuesday, March 17 at Wheaton College.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

When a storm comes we do not think, is this the one? We do not consider is this Armageddon? No we hunker down and survive. We first must define what we are surviving. If it is a tornado, hurricane, tsunami, earthquake or similar natural disaster and we have survived the initial destroying factors, then we can come up with the basics to go on. We develop alternatives to survive, that will work in the short term. But the word Armageddon brings about a totally new scenario. There may initially be normal situations and sufficient fuels and systems that all types of survival may be possible. But, will the capability to replace used fuels be possible? Are public systems grinding to a halt? What are the alternatives? Will this be a God driven Armageddon or a man made disaster? Will things return to normal quickly or will it take years? Each of these questions requires a different answer and solution. We will look at several different situations and potential solutions. Think only of surviving and not of any other alternative.
First let us look at the natural disaster. A flood or tornado causes local damage, but it is possible to provide support from the outside very quickly. The short term becomes the definable need. In a hurricane like the one that hit the Gulf Coast of the United States a few years ago, people seemed to be driven back on their heels and unable to function. The movers and shakers left town and the people remaining were unable to take care of themselves. This was almost unbelievable. In cities there were barbecue restaurants. Many of these have barbecue pits that are mobile. Four men could have rolled these pits to the areas were people were congregating. Many grocery stores had frozen meat lockers were food was spoiling. This food could have been cooked and fed to the multitudes. There are numerous containers around the city that could have been used to make fire. Cooking was possible. Living was possible.
Some of the never-do-wells that rampaged the streets could have worked for the common good. But we have trained our youth to riot in times of civil disturbance or unrest, take what they want and then set and wait for help while drinking beer and coke. These people must be put to work early to channel their energy for the common good. Some police and military and firemen must stay and help the weak and the un-organized. Instead the Mayor was partying at one of the hotels. Some police that they thought were there did not exist. Problems were occurring on the streets. No you do not have to use guns to make people do something, but we do use guns for the common good and security of those that need security.
I picture the woman in a wheel chair, dead and covered with a sheet and left on the walk. The people in New Orleans had no shame. Of course people will die when major events occur. But then we care for their remains until we can normally bury them. People died for lack of electricity and cooling. These were in retirement homes and hospitals. There should have been a major effort to take care of this. Instead we watched our TVs unaware that nothing was being done.
How can so many people be unable to take care of their own environment? Water was ever where and people were without drinking water. People ravaged stores for food, and people were starving. One answer seems to be that the people, who know how to survive, either must stay and help or need to be moved back to the area quickly. Organization is necessary. From the resources available, survival is possible. Once the storm was over, it was possible to make fire and portable electrical units could have been brought in to support hospitals and elderly homes. People who died from exposure should have been provided warmth and comfort. People who were hungry should have been fed. I will say this over and over, do not wait for help. Take action to help yourself and those around you.
Numerous means of making fire ate available. The use of furniture as fire wood is a possibility. Trees, etc. will be available. From the various stores, there should be all types of gas camping stoves and grills and canisters of gas that may be used. Water can be easily filtered and boiled to provide drinking water. But no, people do nothing but sit waiting for rescue. Of course after a short time a large group of people will use up all the resources. This is predictable. In the case of a long term recovery, preservation and rationing of food starts from the beginning. Only then can we survive.
Armageddon will provide the next type of total collapse of mans ability to function. Man will sit and wait to die or for rescue which will not come. For those that chose to life the following will be a start, not a perfect nor an end solution. We all have to think. Armageddon will provide many different scenarios for one or many to survive. For us that believe in God we will continue to live. He may show us the end, but until then we must live. For some of us it will be smarter to move to a more survivable location, and these people will have or will put together bug out bags. This is a bag which will allow us to carry our individual survival gear to a new location. A large back pack comes to mind, but a duffel bag will work, and is suitcase is better than nothing, but is more difficult to carry. Hopefully it has strong wheels. Note, I said carry. There may not be a means of transportation. Transportation may also be a danger because of those without will be seeking to take yours. If you are planning to move, move early by vehicle or plan to move in darkness and by clandestine means. If you are in long lines of refugees then you will be subject to delay, theft and many other dangers. Try to protect yours and your own gear at all times. Do not become a victim, because you failed to prepare.
We can fit this basic approach into any scenario. We are not on a new planet or a deserted island. We are in the world we were born into, but some basic things may have changed. Gas and water lines may be destroyed and electrical line may be down. The lack of these three things will make our environment more difficult, but not unlivable. There should be plenty of shelter. Do not forget seeds. If you have an excess they will be tradable. If you have a great excess, then plant them everywhere. Wild vegetables will be great later, when you are hungry and when they are ready to harvest, harvest the seeds also.
If in the inner city, it will be more dangerous. Each area will have its own pitfalls and useful items. Most scenarios show the people leaving the city. But the country will not support the total population initially. Large groups will have to send back salvage groups to get what is left in the cities. After a time people will migrate back to the cities and barter will become the means of existence. Money is years down the road, except for silver, copper and gold and maybe the exotic metals like tin, aluminum and others that can be heated and reformed. Large supply centers warehouses may become barter centers. It may be a Walmart in a small town. A dollar bill will be worthless. Gold and silver will be only slightly better. Food, clothing, ammunition, maybe water will be some barter items. Weapons, bicycles, rope and similar items will also become very useful and will have worth. Horses and mules will become valuable, but they require food. You will have to plan for them also. Skills will become valuable. At some point every thing will be available for barter.
Coal or oil will have to be found to start an electrical or water system. Restarting these systems also requires a knowledge and material beyond most of our experience. Gas will be even more difficult to bring back on line. Look for alcohol systems to be more popular, as this fuel can be made at home. The stoves are simple and easy to fabricate. If you buy one today, it is expensive, but it will burn the fuel very well and does save fuel. Buy two or three and you will have some trade items. Learn how to make alcohol. It is not hard, and you may need it and can trade it. Another usable gas is methane. Look it up.
This can go on and on. Bio-fuels and alcohol will be important. Trade goods and skills will be important. Security will be important, and you may have to join with good people to survive. Becoming a judge of good is a good skill to develop. God willing, we will not get to this level of need. But it is wise to plan for the worse. We can always start saving for the next, with what we have not used, but starting too late, may cost us our lives and that of our loved ones.
One last item that we must consider is weather. We live in all different types of weather. Some of us live in desert conditions and some in deep snow country. We do not know when the world will come apart at the seams. But, like I have been saying, plan for the worst possible conditions. If it is summer, learn to live like our grandparents lived, before air conditioning. Do not wait until it is too late. Start your body to acclimatize before you have to live in the worst conditions. If electricity is going to stop at some given point, it is better to preserve food and have ice than air conditioning. If it is cold, make sure you have clean drinking water and start cutting down on the heating. Wear more clothes and start looking for more clothing that will keep you warm in all conditions. Again as before, think about your situation and plan for the worst. If it is cold, plan for the coldest winter. You can always remove clothing, but not having enough is bad. If it is hot, plan for the hottest. You may have to build some thick walls, and more shade. Survival in winter will be more difficult for people in the south.

Laser Cut Metal Screen Designs

They are certainly amongst the most popular on the marketplace. They have actually been around for fairly a long time to gain the supports of clients. But does their popularity make them the most effective rain gutter guards you can possible get?
The steel screens have a number of advantages. The very first one is that they are easy to set up. They usually have clips on the side, so you can obtain them safely in position rapidly without making use of any devices. You merely have to press the clips when positioning the panel guard on top of the seamless gutter and afterwards release them. It is as straightforward as this.
When screens on window and door are torn, they permit pests right into your home when they are exposed. When they are sagging or rusty, they look terrible and also darken spaces. Thankfully, a lot of displays are easy to remove and change. Many the frameworks these days are metal and also the screen are fiberglass, or plastic.

MOUNT PLEASANT, N.Y. -- Four girls from the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls Residental Treatment Center were arrested Tuesday by Mount Pleasant Police after walking out of a restaurant without paying and then attacking the owner.
The girls, between the ages of 13 to 15, were stopped at the Valhalla railroad station around 3 p.m. after police received a report they had ordered and eaten $40 worth of food at a restaurant on Broadway, then walked out without paying, police said.
When confronted by the restaurant owner, the girls attacked the owner throwing her to the ground, police said.
They were charged with theft of services, petit larceny, and attempted assault and referred to the Westchester County Family Court.

My mind is still on vacation. Ugh.
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July and enjoyed yummy food with friends and family! My friends and I got together at a friend's apartment to have some food and watch fireworks. It was so fun especially since the weather was so nice.
The day before, Roxan @SweenShanti and I met up. Yes, she was in town for her friend's wedding! It was the first time we met in person after we had been "talking" through the blog and Facebook. I was nervous at first because I didn't want to look or be different from what she might have imagined I would be hahaha. It was fun and I felt like I was hanging out with friends (at least to me!).
Here's a picture of us at Sculpture park.

|Korean taco with homemade saamjung sauce
Without further ado, the recipe I'm going to post today is lemongrass basil chicken. It's another version of Thai basil chicken. In fact, if you take off the lemongrass and other vegetables, it's a regular Thai chicken basil.
I wanted to spice up my regular chicken basil so I added lemongrass and featured Summer vegetables. I found a beautiful Japanese pumpkin and some green beans at the market. They went perfectly with this basil. Also, I used basil from my little herb garden! It's sure organic and I felt super good to use my own herbs. You can use red basil a.k.a Thai basil if you wish and for a more authentic recipe. If you don't, I would say forget about it and use what you have on hand.
Chicken thigh and dark meat are my favorite. I ignored the hubs' white meat fondness for once and went ahead with chicken thigh - all in. Lemongrass adds a deep flavor and aromatic smell but doesn't over power the rest of the flavor. I hope you like it if you have a chance to try.
PS: If you serve with rice, the sauce should be a little saltier.
Oh, almost forgot! I recalled a great dish from Lazaro and craved for a light, good, flavorful dish. If you remember his pan fried cod and black bean soup dish, it's one of my all time favorites. I made one from my memory and adjusted seasonings based on my taste buds. Here we go. Thanks to Laz for a great recipe!
|Although this doesn't look like his dish, you get the idea of the deliciousness.
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1.5 lbs chicken thigh, cut to small pieces
2 cups Japanese pumpkin, peeled and cubed
2 cups green beans, cut to 1.5" length
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
3 stalks lemongrass, minced or out in a food processor to release oil
8 oz. sliced white mushroom
3 coves garlic, minced
3 Tbs fish sauce
2 Tbs sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
1 Tbs black soy sauce
3-4 fresh Thai chilies, tabbed with a side of knife to release flavor and heat (optional)
White pepper
Vegetable oil
- Heat up wok over high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat.
- Add lemongrass and garlic and stir fry for a min or so. The aromatic scent is just so good.
- Add chicken and stir fry until it's cooked. Season with fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar.
- Add onion and pumpkin. Stir fry until onion is translucent and pumpkin is getting soft.
- Add green beans. Correct seasoning.
- Stir fry until it's all cooked and flavorful!
- Add basil and cilantro and turn off the heat. Stir fry basil until it's all mixed. Remove from heat.
- Serve with rice.
|Basil and Cilantro from my garden!
|Sorry lemongrass is a little burn
|Add onion and pumpkin
|Serve with rice and enjoy!

Forgive me for a moment as I write about something particularly close to my world this week.
I'm just back from a two-and-a-half week research project in the Nevada desert, finishing up following the route my great-great-grandfather, William Castle Dodge, took to the 1849 gold rush. It's a route clearly left in his diary; a remarkable trip made by a 22-year-old.
But, while I'll be writing about that trip in detail in a book, this column's about the necessary evil it took to reach the desert and return, along with some work-related side travel; in all, 11 flights, trips ranging from late in the evening to the very early morning.
And I have some suggestions.
Say you are on an early, early flight to any Atlantic city from Toronto; flying east, you've missed a late-night connection, and have been stuffed in an airport hotel at half-past midnight. Don't worry, the airline says: you'll be on the next available plane. But that means a 5 a.m. wake-up call, and you don't sleep well anyway. You make your way through a sleepless fog to the plane, confident that you can catch a nap.
But no. On every single plane that flies, you will be within three rows of two wide-awake people who know each other — or, worse, don't know each other. They'll start a spirited conversation as soon as their seatbelts are on, and as the flight crew dims the lights and the jets roar, they'll up the volume so they can hear each other, even if it means yelling. They'll talk about how sad it is young people can't buy houses, about the failure of the education system, about their pets and their hobbies. The same scenario plays out regularly on late-night flights, evening into the early morning hours; there's always someone whose entertainment is more important than anyone else's.
But it's not only the yakkers — who, believe me, invariably have a tone of voice that cuts glass and renders headphones obsolete. Heck, they have a background speaking role on every single film on the in-flight entertainment system, no matter how high the volume.
How about this scenario? It's unexpectedly snowing, the airline announces it wants to load the aircraft quickly to get to de-icing and stay on schedule, but the aisle is blocked by a man in his late 50s or 60s who absolutely must stand and fold his coat properly — even though it's going into the cram-fest known as the overhead bin, and will come out a rumpled mess anyway. He must choose his electronics before sitting down. Must carefully place and replace his second bag in the overhead (no cramped feet for him).
The best part is that the acting troupe "Men of a Certain Age" are guaranteed to be performing on one out of every two aircraft that you fly on. Their time is critically important, and they want you to know it, even if it means missing a connection. Yours is not. (Oh, and if they don't reprise "You can stand and wait until I'm done," when you're trying to get off the plane, you can be sure that they will perform the long, but aptly titled, "What do you mean I can't use these wireless headphones/electronic equipment? It's my equipment, I want to use it, and you're just stupid, professionally trained air crew.")
Now, I know these are small things, passing events in the march of days that will eventually end. But like so many things, they mark they fact that we can have a clear ignorance that we share the world with others, and owe them the same courtesy we'd expect. Just look around once in a while.
Oh, and don't get me started on the 1 a.m. outside-the-elevator loud hotel discussion; the hotness of your girlfriend matters little to me. Sorry.

Woman charged with violating probation in DWI fatal is freed
LOCKPORT – A Tuscarora Indian Reservation woman was released from jail Friday, but still faces a probation violation on her plea to criminally negligent homicide and driving while intoxicated for crashing her car and killing her cousin, a passenger, in 2007.
State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. ordered Elexis K. Printup, 26, of Mount Hope Road, freed from Niagara County Jail, where she had held without bail since her March 27 arraignment on probation violation charges.
Printup is accused of drinking, failing to report to her probation officer, not completing community service requirements and removing herself from a substance abuse treatment program.
"You just don't get it. You're going to kill somebody. Again," Kloch told her.
Printup is due back in court May 10 to answer the charges. Her new defense attorney, James J. Faso Jr., persuaded Kloch to let her out of jail.

Voice judges Kylie Minogue, Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am and Ricky Wilson have helped launch a new series of The Voice .
They also admitted that winning the show will not guarantee stardom.
The third series of the BBC One show features new coaches Minogue and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Wilson joining the line-up. The pair replace Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue in the contest.
Previous winners have failed to chart chart success in the music world .
But Sir Tom said at today's launch at London's New Broadcasting House that singers had already walked through one door by getting on to the show.
Referring to the likes of The X Factor, which has been criticised for featuring some contestants who are deluded about their talents, he said: "No-one is going to say 'what was that all that about?'
"But there is no guarantee. There's no guarantee in showbusiness. It's one step at a time. It's always down to the public whether that person is going to be a star."
He added: "You've got to try and get all the ingredients and hopefully it will sell. There's no guarantee that if you win this, you will be a star."
In an apparent dig at The X Factor, Wilson added: "If you want to see people making fools of themselves you can go to other stations."
He also hinted that the new series of The Voice featured some format changes.
Minogue, who was approached to join the first series but turned it down, said that she was "really comfortable" being the only woman on the panel because it "stops any stories about bitchiness and cattiness."
She paid tribute to her predecessor Jessie J, praising her voice and character and adding: "I hope Jessie enjoys seeing me in her seat."
Will.i.am said that it was "not fair" to compare the two coaches but said of Minogue: "She's reached a level of success that we all want to have. The show needs a Kylie."
He said a flaw in the show was that there was no record company championing the singers after the series ended.
The new series features sees The Streets singer Leo Ihenacho and a vocalist who is also an impersonator of Ruth Jones' Gavin and Stacey character Nessa try their luck.
* The Voice returns to BBC One this Saturday at 7pm

My circumstances have given me a new challenge: How to keep my stile while being pregnant! Since most of my wardrobe is rather waist-focused, I realized quite early that I had to do something with my clothes, and I have bought some really nice jersey tube dresses, making it possible to wear all my cardigans. What I missed though was wearing skirts with my tops and blouses. I already knew Megan Nielsen's maternity patterns but hesitated since they're a bit pricey (I guess you all know my issues with commercial patterns) and not downloadable as pdf's. I had to give in though, because after hours searching for decent maternity patterns elsewhere, Megan's patterns are some of the few I would imagine using!

The last time a pope left office while still alive was in 1415.
The retirement plan for pope's is not well defined.
When he became Pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest man elected in nearly 300 years.
Considering that for the past six centuries popes have left office when they leave this life, the effect of having a surviving ex-pope is unclear.
When Benedict XII resigned, he said he was too tired and unable to give the amount of energy needed to serve as pope in today's world.
The Vatican said that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict's decision to become the first pontiff to resign in 600 years.
The last time a pope left office while still alive was in 1415.
Pope Gregory XII resigned the papacy in 1415 to put an end to a problem that had divided the Roman Catholic for 40 years.
Gregory XII did not resign due to being fatigued or ill. His was a political retirement. He was competing with another person in France claiming to be the real pope. Both popes were to resign, making way for one true pope to be chosen in order to unify the church.
Things didn't work out six centuries ago. Even though he resigned and the search began for a new pope, Gregory XII died one month before the pope who would unify the church was selected.
But this is not a move to unify the church. This pope will still be around when the new pope pontificates about issues of the day.
What happens if they disagree? Part of the job of being pope is being infallible. Does he resign from that, as well?
That is not sarcasm or a cheap joke at the church's expense. This is ground that hasn't been covered since the invention of the printing press.
Pope Benedict XVI is on Twitter. With one 140-character post, he could create quite a rift.
Of course, Benedict XII has said he plans to live in seclusion and not be a problem for the church going forward. He is resigning because he sees the need for the pontiff to be energetic enough to lead the church.
But it won't be easy for the new pope.
I know in a church I used to attend, a young pastor was hired to fill the pulpit after the retirement of a pastor who was 70 years old and had been at the church for more than a dozen years.
That pastor remained in the church. Beyond that, another former pastor who had been a part of the church's hay days had also retired back in the community and he began attending the church as a member again, as well.
That young pastor had to feel the glares anytime he said something the least bit controversial. You know all of the older people who had enjoyed relationships with the other two pastors for years would look to them to see if the new guy is right.
I can't imagine what would have happened if either of them had ever shaken his head to disagree with a point.
That was one pastor at one Southern Baptist church in Oklahoma.
I don't even know if the effect is scalable when you are talking about the pope.
It seems that Benedict XII's motives are pure. He wants to make way for someone who can lead the church with more energy.
As the College of Cardinals convenes in a Papal Conclave to select a new leader, some have discussed the end of the European ascension to the papacy. Some have discussed a pope from South America or another region where Catholicism has enjoyed significant recent growth.
Even for non-Catholics, the selection of a new pope is a suspenseful process. The upcoming weeks and months should be very interesting.

Our flaky hand pies, on the cover of our July/August 2013 issue, taste just like their big sibs, but they're tidier to serve and eat, making them perfect for picnics and potlucks. Best of all, you get to choose the fruit filling: cherry, blueberry peach or plum!
Clever cupcakes
Our January/February 2013 cover featured three cute cupcakes you can make starting with box mixes. From left to right:
S'More to Love
The May/June 2012 cover featured a towering, gooey s'more. Our story explained how to make great new versions of the campfire classic.
Cafe Latte's Turtle Cake
We celebrated the 25th year of publishing Midwest Living in our January/February 2012 issue. Our collection of all-time best recipes included the Cafe Latte's Turtle Cake pictured on the cover a decadent creation from a Saint Paul bakery.
Buttery Corn on the Cob
Our July/August 2011 cover spotlighted a Midwest favorite, sweet corn, along with three flavored butters: Serrano Chile Butter, Gorgonzola-Bacon Butter and Lemon-Parsley Butter.
Suncrest Gardens Farm's Pesto Pizza
This tomatoey creation, highlighted in a May/June 2011 story about Wisconsin pizza farms, comes from Heather Secrist, owner of Suncrest Garden Farms in Cochrane, Wisconsin. "Pesto can be frozen in ice cube trays for use throughout the year," Heather says. "Once frozen, place the cubes in a freezer bag to pull out as you need them."
Easy Box-Mix Makeovers
Our January/February 2011 cover featured cupcakes that start with a box mix. Stir, swirl or sprinkle some adds-ins -- such as flavored syrup, a little spice or chocolate chips -- and you've got a whole new creation.
Caramel-Banana Muffins
Sugar-topped banana slices caramelize as they bake on top of these tender, cakey breakfast muffins from the January/February 2010 issue. Serve the muffins warm and drizzled with extra caramel topping, if you like.
Peppery Grilled Steak with Tomatoes
Our steak's peppery rub and a topping of juicy tomatoes make for a colorful and flavorful main dish, pictured on the cover of the July/August 2009 issue. Serve with a baked sweet potato or our Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges.
Chipotle Black-Bean Chili
This chili -- pictured on our January/February 2009 cover -- is great for tucking into your slow cooker in the morning, so you come home to a warm winter dinner.
Chocolaty Shortbread Bites and Lemony Spritz Cookies
Finishing touches add a festive flair to these cookies, which starred on the November/December 2008 cover. Dip Chocolaty Shortbread Bites in melted semisweet or white chocolate and top with a chocolate candy. Give extra zing to Lemony Spritz Cookies with Lemon Glaze and colored sugar.
Brats and Beer Cheddar Chowder
This hearty chowder, from the cover of the January/February 2008 Midwest Living, is one of 12 soups we created to celebrate ingredients from Midwest states. The chowder salutes Wisconsin's beer, bratwurst and cheese heritage.
Strawberry-Walnut Shortcakes
Creamy, crunchy and sweet, this dessert—on the cover of the May/June 2007 issue—puts a new spin on the traditional strawberry shortcake. The recipe calls for black walnuts but substitute English walnuts, if you like.
Winter Shortcake
Our 20th anniversary issue, January/February 2007, celebrated "The Best of Everything," including our favorites from more than 2,700 Midwest Living recipes. Our top pick: Winter Shortcake.
We missed the wonderful fruit-filled shortcake of summer, so we created a version starring winter-friendly ingredients. Pumpkin pie spice stands out in the cake; apple pie filling and frozen tart cherries come together for a colorful filling. This recipe was also pictured on the January/February 2000 Midwest Living.
Tomato and Cheese Tart
Assorted varieties of tomatoes add color and freshness to this puff pastry tart, shown here on the May/June 2004 cover. The pastry can be made ahead, then topped and baked at the last minute.
Decadent Caramel-Pecan Pie
This pie, from the January/February 2004 Midwest Living, offers a great a blend of pecans, chocolate and butterscotch. The recipe comes from The American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin.
Sparkling Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Lemon extract and orange peel add a citrus touch to these cutout cookies, pictured on our November/December 2002 cover. Top with a meringue icing or your favorite frosting, or add sprinkles before baking.
Margarita Kabobs
Our July/August 2002 cover showed a shrimp and chicken kabob brushed with a sauce based on the classic tequila cocktail.
Berry Apple Fantasy Pie
This golden, two-crust creation oozes with apples and blackberries, as shown on the July/August 2001 cover. The recipe is from Elsah Landing Restaurant in Grafton, Illinois.
Chocolate-Raspberry Souffle
A cross between a cake and a souffle, these individual chocolate desserts, from the January/February 2001 cover, make a fitting finale for any special dinner.
Beef Stew
From the cover of our January/February 1999 issue, this beef stew is our adaptation of a classic you'll find on many Midwest tables. Cubed beef chuck, fresh herbs, Yukon gold potatoes and vegetables combine for a hearty winter meal.
Sticky Cinnamon Apple Rolls
The Midwest Living Test Kitchen created this recipe for giant sticky buns loaded with chopped apples and pecans, as pictured on the January/February 1997 cover. The rolls bake in sweet caramel syrup.
Heavenly Cherry Pie
A white chocolate mousse filling and crimson cherry pie filling combine for an out-of-this-world pie from the Traverse City, Michigan, festival cookbook Cherry Creations. The pie was featured on the cover of our July/August 1998 issue.
Valentine's Cocoa Angel Cake
Flavored with cocoa powder and generously frosted with sweetened whipped cream, this tender cake from our Test Kitchen was pictured on the January/February 1998 Midwest Living cover.
Double-Cherry Supreme Pie
Dried tart cherries add extra flavor to this classic pie, shown on the July/August 1996 cover of Midwest Living.
Double Berry Vanilla Cream Pie
A double dose of berries tops a tangy-sweet sour cream pudding filling in a toasted almond crust, pictured on the July/August 1995 cover.
A Peach of a Raspberry Cobbler
A flaky, woven crust tops a combination raspberry-peach filling in this juicy dessert, highlighted on the July/August 1994 cover.
Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake
Although Midwest Living began publishing in 1987, this June 1992 cover was the first to feature food. The cover recipe for Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake ran as part of a story on the Troy, Ohio, Strawberry Festival -- still going strong many years later!

OJR's Bolig not one to shy away from a challenge
|Owen J. Roberts' Gordon Bolig grapples
with Nezar Haddad of Parkland in the
182-pound match at the PIAA Class AAA
Team Duals Tournament at Giant Center in Hershey.
Bolig won 3-1 in overtime. (Mercury file photo)
POTTSTOWN — No one was surprised to see Norristown's Brett Harner and Owen J. Roberts' Gordon Bolig advance through their 182-pound bracket and meet in Saturday night's final of the AAA Southeast Regional.
No one was happier, either, than Bolig.
"It was good to wrestle him," said Bolig, never one to turn down an opportunity to wrestle a good opponent.
Well, Harner is about as good as it gets. Pound for pound, he's arguably the best in District 1. He has 187 career wins, a total that could easily be higher if not for Norristown's demanding schedule. He's a three-time district champion, three-time regional champion, and three-time state medalist. He's also nationally ranked.
"I wanted to see what he was like," Bolig said. "I wanted to see what makes him so good. I sure found out."
Bolig, who showed how dominating he can be with a quarterfinal pin and how clutch he can be with a thrilling one-point semifinal decision, was no match for the versatile Harner in the final. Though closer at times than the score may have implied, he fell behind 8-0 midway through the final period before three back points in the waning seconds closed out the 11-0 loss to Harner.
"He's certainly tough on his feet, hard to get out from on the bottom, and you're not going to ride him, either," Bolig said of Harner shortly after receiving his silver medal and reservation in Thursday's opening round of the PIAA Championships out in Hershey.
While Bolig doesn't own as eye-popping a resume as Harner does, he is still quite the competitor. He's come a long, long way since his freshman season, which ended with a rather abrupt exit from the Section Four Tournament and a mediocre 14-12 record. As a sophomore, he worked his way to the regional and more than doubled his win total with 32. Last year, he was golden at sections and districts, finished third at the regional to qualify for states, and again upped his win total to 34 before he was done.
This winter, Bolig has not only reached some lofty expectations but soared by a few.
The loss to Harner was only his fifth in 50 bouts. The first two occurred back in December at the Beast of the East Classic — one to two-time national prep champion and the nation's No. 1 ranked Eric Morris of Wyoming Seminary, the other to two-time national prep medalist and Princeton-bound Troy Murtha of Georgetown Prep, Md. The other two setbacks were in mid-January at the Escape the Rock, both to Princeton-bound Nezar Haddad of Parkland, one of which he avenged with a sudden-victory win over Haddad during last month's state team duals.
"A few times we thought about bumping (Bolig) around, but he always wants to go out and wrestle the best," OJR head coach Steve DeRafelo said earlier this season. "That's the way he is. He works so hard. He's tough. And he wants to go against the best."
Bolig will get an up-close look at Pennsylvania's best later this week at states, where he debuts against Belle Vernon senior Adam Nickelson (37-2), the Southwest Region runner-up who was eighth in the state a year ago. Should he beat Nickelson, he'll no doubt see Bald Eagle Area's unbeaten and returning bronze medalist Jacob Taylor, who is one spot in front of Harner at No. 4 in the national rankings.
"Going out against all (the highly-touted opposition) doesn't bother me," Bolig said Saturday night. "I just know I have to wrestle well. Yeah, it makes you a little nervous, but I try to visualize the match warming up, then go out and attempt to hit my moves.
"This loss (to Harner) shouldn't have any effect on me. Everyone knew he was favored, and everyone knows he'll be favored (at states) with Taylor. I just know I have to get two more wins to get a medal. I won't be thinking of this or any other losses when I get out there."

Bites, Bars and Backstreets Adventure - Wednesdays
Food Loose Tours
Wednesday, 1 November 2017 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm (AWST)
Event Details
Lying adjacent to the city centre, the nightlife and entertainment district of
Northbridge is the perfect illustration of the way in which Perth's food
and drink scene has come a long, long way in a relatively short amount of
time. The last 3 or so years has seen an explosion of great new small bars
and restaurants fill the area with more fantastic eating and drinking options
than you can shake a stick at! In fact things have changed at such a rate of
knots that it can be hard to keep up with it all. Add to this the rise of the
laneway scene (and its associated super-cool-yet-super-hard-to-find bars)
and you'd be entirely forgiven for being a bit bamboozled!
Luckily for you we've made it our job (quite literally) to keep up with it all
and our Bites, Bars and Backstreets Adventure is the perfect way to
discover this best bits that the new Northbridge scene has to offer. You'll
venture with us down the backstreets and alleyways of the area to eat great
food from happenin' new establishments, visit cool bars and generally revel
in the recent renaissance of inner city nightlife.
Like all Food Loose Tours, our adventurers buy their own food along the
way. This is all part of sharing and interacting with your fellow food lovers.
We estimate it will be no more than $25 in food costs per person on the
Bars, Bites and Backstreets Adventure. (but please bring extra if you'd like
to buy a few drinks along the way). Please bring small notes to make
settling our bills as we go a whole lot easier.

If you are late, you may call us at on 0467 542 437 and we'll try to let you know where we are.

Can I reschedule my food tour?
We have a 48 hour rescheduling policy. You must notify us by email to email@example.com at least 48 hours before your tour to reschedule. Otherwise, unfortunately you will forfeit your ticket.
How much walking is there on the Bites, Bars and Backstreets Adventure?
Not too much, however you'll need some to walk off all you eat!!!
Are the tours appropriate for children?
Being that we visit a number of licensed establishments and conclude the tour late in the evening we do not recommend bringing children on the Northbridge Nights Adventure.
Is your tour touristy? Do local West Australians take the tour?
Our tours are specifically designed to take you to the "hidden gems" only a die hard Foodie knows about. Local West Australians take our tours and the usual response is "I never knew these places existed". None of our tours have a touristy feel to them. Our goal is for you to interact, have fun and experience the culinary secrets of Perth City. We have foodies from all over the world join us on this tour.

Clarence B. Davis died March 30, 2013
Clarence Belve Wyatt Davis, 98, died March 30 in Hattiesburg, MS. He was born March 13, 1915 in a log cabin on Possum Walk Creek near Five Mile, Cleburne County, AR, the oldest of 11 children of Boyd Len and Edna Cora Sisemore Davis. His childhood was spent helping his father farm.
His opportunities for education were limited during the Depression. After finishing 10th grade at age 16, he was hired to teach grades 1-8 in the traditional one-room rural schools of Cleburne County. He was finally able to receive his diploma from Heber Springs High School in 1936 at age 21. He graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Agriculture in 1940.
That summer, he married Mabel Helen Roberson of Wilburn, AR. From 1940 through 1949, he taught Vocational Agriculture in Mineral Springs, Lakeside Hot Springs, Prescott, and Arkadelphia High Schools in Arkansas, except for an interruption for military service in WWII. In 1943, he enlisted in the Navy and was selected for officer training. He served as Personnel Officer with the rank of Lieutenant JG until his discharge in 1946.
In 1949, Clarence was hired by Citizen National Bank of Arkadelphia as Farm Loan Officer, the beginning of a long career in banking. From 1956-1958, he was Executive Vice President of the Bank of West Memphis. He then joined McIlroy Bank of Fayetteville, becoming President in 1959. He served in that capacity for 6 years.
In 1965, Clarence and a group of businessmen of Hattiesburg, Mississippi founded Southern National Bank. He served as its first and only president until 1977, when SNB merged with Deposit Guaranty National Bank of Jackson. He retired from DGNB in 1985 at age 70.
Clarence enjoyed his retirement—woodworking, gardening, golfing, fishing, genealogy, and babysitting grandchildren. His wife of 52 years, Mabel, died in 1992. In 1994, he married Mary Walker Humphries. They were married almost 19 years.
Clarence was interested in economic development, and was involved in civic groups in all the communities in which he lived, especially Chambers of Commerce and Lions Clubs. He was also a very active Methodist, serving on the Board and as a long-time Sunday school teacher at Main Street Methodist Church in Hattiesburg.
Besides his first wife Mabel, Clarence was predeceased by two sisters, three infant brothers, and his stepson, Chris Humphries. He is survived by his second wife Mary Humphries Davis, two daughters, Jane Marino (John) of Springdale, AR and Mary Halliwell (David) of Hattiesburg; a stepdaughter, Deana Flak of Conroe, TX; five grandchildren, Roman Marino (Esther) of Marbella, Spain, Camille Noble (Drew) of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Sarah Carver (Brian) of Charleston, SC, Harry Halliwell of Hattiesburg, and Mary Lucas Halliwell of Starkville, MS; a step grandson, Jason Humphries of Hattiesburg; four great-grandchildren, Charlie, Scott, and Zachary Noble and Mercedes Marino del Castillo; two step great-granddaughters, Haley and Emily Humphries; and two brothers and 3 sisters.
Visitation was 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM Wednesday, April 3 at Hulett-Winstead Funeral Home. The funeral was Thursday, April 4 at Main Street Methodist Church at 11:00 AM, visitation starting at 10:00 AM. Interment will be held at a later date at Cleburne County Memorial Gardens in Heber Springs, AR. Memorials may be sent to the church for Aldersgate Missions or to a charity of your choice.
