Positano Cannabis
One of the most recent crags to be developed, where Mother Nature has been generous with fantastic quality limestone. With 20 amazing pitches it's the reference crag for the area. West facing, at sunset the labyrinth of tufas transform glowing red; take care not to climb too early in the afternoon as the rock becomes too hot to handle! Despite the numerous tufas the climbing is varied, from slightly overhanging to steep roofs. Many routes don't seem to overhang much, but when you lower off...
Reach Positano, circa 60km south of Naples, and continue up to Montepertuso.From the town square in Monte Pertuso walk up the steps towards the Buco hole. Before reaching this a path breaks off right and coasts the entire Monte Gambera amphitheatre. Take care not to walk on the cultivated terraces. 20 minutes.
Overhanging tufa climbing.

Is EA Mobile finally ready to take Android serious now? They have ported a handful of their most popular iOS games to Android, but most have been met with a lukewarm reception (averaging review scores of 3/5). A quick browse of EA Mobile's site shows that they haven't updated their Android section in years, with only the original T-Mobile G1 being listed as a supported device.
We don't know much about EA Mobile's future plans for Android, but their PR team has started to made an effort to reach out to Android bloggers and open a channel of communication. For example, to promote their upcoming Android game The Sims FreePlay, EA mailed me a Sims coffee mug, scarf, and paper speakers. I'm still not sure what the point was of these random items, but I'm sitting here writing this article so I guess they got the job done.
No release date has been announced, but we have heard that The Sims FreePlay should be available in the Android Market by the end of this month. The game previously launched on iOS devices back in December where it won several awards for best freemium game of the year.
EA's current game The Sims 3 is priced at $6.99 and did relatively well selling between 100,000-500,000 copies (most came when the game was on sale for $0.99). Unfortunately the game has not been updated since September, which has led to many complaints about support and earned the game a 3.5 rating in the Android Market.
Even though most of EA's titles have been disappointing compared to their iOS versions, we know they are capable of producing some awesome Android games – see Dead Space. Hopefully The Sims FreePlay will receive their best effort and more resources will be allocated to support the game after its initial release.
Do we have any Sims fans in the house?

Kevin Duffy: This UConn team can really score
STORRS -- We start with the box-out, because in a triple-digit scraping of Detroit, a pure clinic in ball movement, we absolutely have to acknowledge the box-out.
That's what Niels Giffey does, isn't it? Every team in America could use a Niels Giffey.
And on a classic Giffey play, with 8:15 remaining in the first half, Giffey moved a Detroit player out of the lane and the ball bounced in front of him, hitting the floor before he scooped it up.
That's the sign of a great box-out, which for three years has been Giffey's trademark.
Now he leads the nation in 3-point shooting.
The scoreboard at Gampel Pavilion Thursday read Boatright, Napier, Daniels, Nolan and Niels. When you start a season 11-for-13 from deep, I guess you can chop off the last name. Kinda like Kobe.
"That boy," started UConn guard Ryan Boatright. "I don't even know. I looked up at the scoreboard and he had 15. We call him the 15 killer because every game he has 15 in the first half and then he doesn't score in the second."
"We've been getting on him for that," Boatright added. "Shabazz (Napier) actually told him, `You're going to have 15 and you're not going to score again.' Everybody was laughing, but he actually did it. It's crazy."
Niels was great again early and not needed late. UConn once again looked incredible offensively, just as it did in the first 30 minutes versus Maryland.
This much is true: UConn can outscore anyone in the country. Seriously, these Huskies are loaded with perimeter shooters and breakdown guards. And when they can match up in the frontcourt, it's game over.
"We're lethal when we can get everybody running," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie.
The key to this season should come as no surprise: If the Huskies can hold their own on the backboards with the big boys, 25 regular-season wins isn't out of the question, nor is a very deep NCAA tournament run. But we're three games into the year, and the Huskies just hung triple-digits on a team that will be lucky to post double-digit wins.
So we'll reserve judgment until the potential matchup with Indiana, until Florida visits Gampel on Dec. 2. That's when we can really start talking.
For now, just know that these Huskies are playing some beautiful basketball.
"The ball is not sticking," Ollie said. "It's boom, boom, boom. We call it `three beats.' We want a pass before you get to the third beat."
UConn's ball movement in the halfcourt stood out most Thursday. Detroit opened with a 2-3 zone, which was shredded as soon as Giffey -- excuse me, Niels -- entered the game. Napier and Boatright found gaps, kicked to 3-point shooters and dished to the big men, too. On one play late in the first half, Boatright threw a no-look pass in the lane to Phil Nolan, who laid it in to give UConn a 45-24 lead.
Boatright would hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer on the next possession, extending the lead to 22. It was that kind of night for the Huskies, who topped 100 points for the first time since the 2009 NCAA tournament.
A heads-up for future opponents: Don't zone the Huskies. They have too many shooters.
"I think that's the main difference when you compare this year's team to last year," Giffey said. "We really wait and take the right shots. ... Of course we're going to be a fast-break team, but as soon as we're in the half court, we have to make sure we take the right shots that are open."
Early on, it was Omar Calhoun, who leads UConn in scoring. Then it was Niels, and then DeAndre Daniels in the second half. The versatile 6-foot-8 sophomore scored all 11 of his points in a span of 5:45. He looked aggressive, following his own missed layup for a tip-in, his final basket in this blowout.
It was the kind of night that saw Tyler Olander drain another 3-pointer (not as much pressure when he shot this one) and walk-on Tor Watts find the scoring column. On this kind of night, it was acceptable for the bench to laugh and for Ollie to joke.
"I messed up Shabazz's triple-double," the coach said.
Napier made 10 points, eight boards and eight assists look effortless. Boatright's stat line was nearly identical. Lasan Kromah, the transfer from George Washington, earned credit for locking up Juwan Howard Jr., who singlehandedly outscored UConn 8-6 at the outset.
"I think everyone came in and played," Ollie said. "It was a collective effort."
It was pure dominance, maybe the most one-sided game Gampel has seen since a 94-61 trouncing of Providence in 2009. That night, Hasheem Thabeet went for a triple-double. Two Huskies were pretty close on Thursday.
This team may not have Thabeet, but it has an emerging shot blocker in freshman Amida Brimah. It clearly has one of the top backcourts in the country. And, let's not forget, it has Niels.
It has a chance to be pretty darn good.

The Blackhawks will play on their biggest stage since 2010 when they play host to the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Sports writers Tom Musick and Jeff Arnold discuss:
Musick: Two quick questions: Which team will win the opening faceoff in Game 1? And what were your impressions as one of a zillion reporters covering the NHL's media day?
Arnold: Man, as much as the United Center will be jumping after Jim Cornelison finishes the national anthem, I'd be hard pressed not to take the Hawks. But then again, I thought Jonathan Toews could win a faceoff with 9.4 seconds left in Game 5 against the Kings and we saw how that worked out. Too soon? Media day impressions? Too much facial hair and too many people with cameras and boom mics. I couldn't see Patrick Kane. I know the dude's short, but still, I assume he was somewhere in there. You know – it's media day – everyone's on their best behavior unless you're Viktor Stalberg. What did you walk away with from our get-together with 400 of our new best friends?
Musick: My favorite moment came when someone asked Bruins forward Milan Lucic about his thoughts on Tim Tebow joining the New England Patriots. And, no, it wasn't Skip Bayless asking the question. I probably was struck most by the calm, casual demeanor of players on both teams. Maybe that shouldn't have been such a surprise considering both clubs have been to the Cup Final in the past few seasons.
Arnold: I was impressed with the way Stan Bowman dealt with the temptation to dump Joel Quenneville after last year's first-round exit and make sweeping changes. I think they could have shopped Corey Crawford and could have sent Quenneville packing. But like he said, there's such a thin line between winning and losing. How impressive of a job has Quenneville done in getting the Hawks back to the Stanley Cup Finals, especially given the distractions of a lockout and the whole historic streak thing? I know purists will love this line of questioning considering the whole shootout aspect of the unbeaten streak.
Musick: No question. Quenneville knows his stuff, and he always seems to push the right button at the right time when it comes to shaking up his lines or applying public pressure on a player to step up his game. Players respect him and like him at the same time. Dave Bolland once called him a "teddy bear." I smell a Hawks promotion for next season: Stuffed Q Bears to the first 10,000 kids.
Arnold: And who else has a Twitter feed dedicated to his mustache? That says it all right there. Coach of the Year. OK, what's the difference in this series? I know we both are taking the Hawks to win in 7 (much to the chagrin of our boss), but what ultimately makes one team better than the other in this series?
Musick: The Hawks have depth. They have home-ice advantage. And they don't have to answer Tebow questions.

Does anyone know if all of the three available Magsafe adapters - 85W, 60W and 45W - are the same physical size?
Adapter dimensions
- Asked by Philip D from Vancouver
- Asked about: QA Apple MagSafe Power Adapter
3 Answers from the Community
All three are different sizes, and obviously the higher the wattage, the larger the adapter. I frequently swap between all three (I own 3 laptops - 11", 13" 15"). Using a 45W on the 15" results in a slower charge, but it still charges. With the higher wattage chargers, they can be used on a lower need laptop with no issue at all. The laptop just draws what it needs.
- Answered by Anthony D from Balwyn
Thanks Matthew - but that's not entirely right. All the Magsafe adapters currently available are square. The old Macbook pro adapter was rectangular - but current models are all square. At any rate I'm looking for EXACT dimensions of each.
- Answered by Philip D from Vancouver
No. The 45W and 60W are about 7cm by 7cm. The 85W power adapter is about 10cm by 7cm. These will all fit into any pouches in a backpack or bag.
Hope this helps.

Arabica coffee, which accounts for more than 70% of the world's coffee could fall victim to climate change and be extinct by 2080, according to a new study. Researchers at England's Kew Royal Botanic Gardens and Ethiopia's Environment and Coffee Forest Forum used computer modeling to predict how rising global temperatures and subtle changes in seasonal conditions might make some land unsuitable for Arabica plants, which are vulnerable to temperature change.
The best-case scenario predicts that 65% of locations where Arabica coffee is currently grown will become unsuitable by 2080, the study found. The most extreme model puts the loss at between 90% and 100%.
In the Boma Plateau in south Sudan, among other areas, the demise could come as early as 2020, based on the low flowering rate and poor health of current crops. "Arabica can only exist in a very specific place with a very specific number of other variables," said Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at the Royal Botanic Gardens. "It is mainly temperature but also the relationship between temperature and seasonality -- the average temperature during the wet season for example."
The study's authors said the dire predictions are conservative because they do not take into account the large-scale deforestation of the Arabia-suitable highland forests of Ethiopia and south Sudan. Pests, disease and other factors were also not considered. The researchers said certain "core sites" capable of yielding Arabia until at least 2080 should be set aside for conservation. Among them is the Yayu Coffee Forest in Ethiopia. Growers of domesticated coffee could still produce crops by watering and artificially cooling them, but wild coffee has much greater genetic diversity that is essential to help plantations overcome threats like pests and disease, according to the researchers.
The study's authors said identifying new locations where Arabia could be grown away from its natural habitat in the mountains of Ethiopia and south Sudan could be the only way of preventing the demise of the species. Even if the beans do not disappear completely from the wild, climate change is highly likely to impact on yields and the taste of coffee beans in future decades, they added.

You might remember that last month Texan Leslie Porterfield was named AMA Female Rider of the Year after she broke multiple landspeed at the International Speed Trials. That fact is no more as Canadian Trillium Muir and team Nickel City Racing have regained the title of the World's Fastest Woman. Here's the kicker, Trillium has only be riding motorcycles for 4 years.
Muir, a 28 year-old corrections officer, broke the land speed record by running a ECTA certified top speed of 239.36 mph on her purpose-built Hayabusa. The record breaking run was at Maxton Mile race track in North Carolina, USA. She rode a tuned 2003 Hayabusa featuring a GT35R turbo from RCC turbos, Aims data logger, JE Pistons, Crower rods, MTC lock-up clutch, Elka shock, custom-built swingarm, RCC back cut transmission.
What's next for the Canadian? The 400kph barrier, which for us Americans works out to be around 248.54 mph.

The Dot-Com Turns 25
by Wayne A. Thorp
This past March marked the 25th anniversary of the registration of the first dot-com domain. According to PCWorld.com, it was over a month before the second dot-com was registered and the 100th dot-com registration didn't take place until 20 months later. Now, the BBC says that 668,000 dot-coms are registered every month. Looking back on the evolution of the Internet, particularly how we use it to communicate with each other, it is truly amazing how far we have come.
My first experience with e-mail dates back about 15 years to my undergrad days at DePaul University in the mid-1990s. It is almost laughable how clunky and user-unfriendly it was. It wasn't until I joined AAII in 1997 and got an America Online AOL account—along with its ubiquitous "Welcome! You've Got Mail" sound clip—that I got my first real taste of "modern" e-mail.

Online profiteers expected to hit up Newtown sympathizers
About 85 percent of new sites related to the tragedy have not conveyed their aims yet.
Beware of fraudulent or virus-laden websites targeting sympathizers of the victims of Friday's school shooting and gun control advocates, say cyber researchers.
Following the losses in Newtown, Conn., unknown entities have registered new domain names related to the events, Mark Baggett, who monitors malicious activity on the Web for the nonprofit Internet Storm Center, wrote in a blog post on Monday. While many of the sites likely are owned by caring individuals and organizations assisting affected families, "other sites will undoubtedly belong to scammers who will capitalize on people's desire to help by establishing fake charities," he added.
The center has not discovered any malicious software yet, but of the roughly 100 domains currently registered, 85 percent are not set up yet, fellow ISC threat-watcher John Bambenek wrote in an email.
In a separate email, Baggett told Nextgov, ISC has identified two domains where one cannot easily determine who is responsible for the site. "They are suspicious," he said.
Baggett, in his earlier blog entry, noted that some of the new sites "may belong to political organizations who will attempt to further their side of an argument as a result of this tragedy."
We'll update you on any deceptive websites or emails uncovered.

As the end of the year approaches, many of us are thinking about charitable donations. Let's face facts: Many donations are tax deductible, and many of us need all the deductions we can get.
Of course, the real reason to give is to support a cause that really needs your help. So, make sure when you give, that your money is going where you intend it to go.
That means staying away from nonprofits that may exist more for the benefit of professional fundraisers or overpaid executives than for people that really need help. Unfortunately, there are far too many of these types of "charities" around.
Some are created in response to natural disasters. "Storm chasers," as they have become known, create websites even before a major storm strikes. The sites contain key words, like "relief," to attract web searches. They have varying records in their effectiveness in providing real help to those in need after a storm.
The IRS issued reminders earlier this month, after more than 1,000 "relief" websites popped up following Hurricane Sandy:
- Give to recognized charities, and beware of sound-alike names (visit the IRS website, www.irs.gov, to find bona fide charities to which contributions are deductible).
- Don't give out your financial or personal information, if you can't be sure that data won't be misused.
- Don't give cash. Make donations by check, credit card or some other way that can be documented. And never make out a check in the name of the solicitor.
Scammers may claim to be affiliated with known organizations; sometimes they even use the official logo of a government or relief organization to gain a target's trust.
Do your own research to be sure you know where your money is going. Keep your scam radar on high: Refuse solicitors who won't answer questions about their cause; don't give in to high pressure pitches; and if it's a telephone solicitation, ask if the caller is a paid solicitor and, if so, what percent of money raised actually goes to the cause. You can always ask that your name be removed from a call list.
Scammers work other angles, too. Some file claims for storm damage that never occurred. Others claim to be doctors and ask for funds "to pay medical bills of injured people." Once you give in to a phony solicitor, you can bet your name will be shared with other scammers.
Check websites like Charity Navigator and Guidestar that rate the effectiveness of charities. The Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance is another resource.
In Maine, check with the Charitable Solicitations Program, part of the state's Department of Professional and Financial Regulation; call 624-8525 with questions about licensed solicitors or to file a complaint.
If you suspect someone's perpetrating disaster fraud, notify the U.S. Department of Justice's National Center for Disaster Fraud (toll-free, 866-720-5721).

Charlie Wilson's War (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers wonders where all the world's Charlie Wilsons have gone...
This is the true story of playboy congressman Charlie Wilson's (Tom Hanks) covert funding of Afghanistan defence against the Soviet invasion of the 1980s. After being forced to witness the horrors of the Soviet attacks by right-wing anti-Communist Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), the sixth richest woman in all of Texas, the normally apathetic Wilson is spurned into action. With Herring's fund raising genius, and the help of dishevelled CIA operative Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman) Wilson wages the largest covert war in American history.
Director Mike Nichols has definitively earned his stripes. He earned them forty plus years ago with his first two films, but the last several decades have not been kind to him. He should be comparable to Robert Altman, but minus three or four movies he's more comparable to Frank Oz (no offence meant to Frank Oz). Charlie Wilson's War was suppose to be his comeback (really, after his last political comedy Primary Colors, you may ask), and before it was released it was an early Oscar favourite. The final product is sink and swim, and quickly dropped off the Oscar radar, but the film is undeniably entertaining in spite of itself.
The whole affair has this sort of shellac of false charm. Characters talk like they're participating in a race the audience doesn't know about, and the dialogue is often too sharp for its own good. It's not that Aaron Sorkin's script isn't funny, or even that it doesn't effectively tell this intriguing true story, but it seems the writer hasn't escaped his television roots just yet. This is a sort of Catch-22 (ha, Mike Nichols pun!), because this racy and poppy pacing and dialogue really keep what could've been a sluggish political lesson moving along (just over ninety minutes for eight years isn't too bad).
The false charm and too witty dialogue works presented by the right actor, and Tom Hanks and especially Philip Seymour Hoffman are the right actors. Ned Beatty and an array of capable character actors are nice fits as well. Even Amy Adams works where she's put, but Julia Roberts is all wrong. Roberts looks like a plank of wood when pitted directly against Hanks, and against Hoffman she all but disappears. Folks like me who still don't get the appeal of Roberts will not be converted by this sub- Dallas portrayal.
There are genuinely brilliant scenes peppered throughout the relative mediocrity. In one Wilson uses a stripper to ease tension between Israeli and Islamic comrades that need to agree to work together for his plans to move forward. This scene brushes the brilliance of the political humour found in Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or Nichols' own Catch-22 (which is kind of a bad movie compared to the outstanding book). Unfortunately, monumentally rough action scenes, and a sloppy treatment of time lapse often undermine these brilliant scenes. The chief problem with the whole film is that it doesn't deal with the future cause and effect of Wilson's actions. The irony of this whole movie is simply too rich for a theatrical mind to ignore. Politics and historical intricacies aside, I need more than five minutes of vague regret.
Charlie and his harem of sexy secretaries all look pretty super on this standard definition release. The whole film is pretty brightly photographed, which is a definite help concerning edge enhancement and general noise, though edges still suffer some minor compression artefacts throughout. The few really dark scenes are fair noisier then the rest of the film, and suffer some detail loss. Colours are bright, but can bleed into the blacks on occasion.
Though there are plenty of awkwardly edited 'action' scenes throughout the film, this Dolby Digital 5.1 track is relatively subdued. I suppose the point of the film isn't to exploit the grandeur of booming destruction, so this isn't totally unexpected. Most of the track is devoted to the poppy dialogue, which is balanced and clear, and James Newton Howard's musical score. Howard's score is a depressing mish-mash of so many other scores it's kind of pathetic. A dash of Howard Shore here, a splash of Hans Zimmer there, a couple of recycles from Howard's own back catalogue, and voila—you've got a sadly adequate score that is reasonably easy to ignore. It does sound rich and warm on the track, I suppose.
Universal doesn't really drop the ball on this one, but this disc is far from a slam dunk. There is a wealth of history to be explored in the form of DVD extras, but all we get is a pair of half effective but all too short featurettes. 'The Making of Charlie Wilson's War' is you basic EPK, but with a lick of dignity. Mostly the brief runtime is devoted to Nichols, Sorkin and the lead actors talking about how great it was to work with one another, but I still managed to learn a bit.
'Who is Charlie Wilson' is more like it—a short but solid look at the real life Wilson and his real life actions, which are apparently pretty damn close to those depicted in the film. Again, the cause and effect is only hinted at in the final minute of the twelve-minute featurette. Perhaps Universal simply didn't want to deal with the controversial facts of post-Cold War Afghanistan.
I want to give Charlie Wilson's War a 6.5 out of 10, but that isn't an option, so in lieu of Hanks and PSH's performances I'm willing to round up my film score. The film is a failure on many levels, but it succeeds in entertaining while informing, and despite a slightly annoying attempt at screwball dialogue and old-fashion Hollywood charm, it's also occasionally quite funny. Unfortunately, it's the sequel that will never be made that is the movie I really want to see. This DVD is a bit weak on the extras front, but the nominal featurettes do their job well.

Commentary: Remembering 9/11
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - On September 11, we remember.
We remember all those who lost their lives, those who risked everything to save others, and we remember that we must be vigilant.
We also remember where we were on that fateful morning 16 years ago.
I was right here in Washington D.C., seeing smoke billow out of the Pentagon, wondering where the terrorists would strike next. America was shaken to its core on that bright September morning, but it was not broken, not even close.
The days, months and years since 9/11 have been full of resilience, strength and determination to keep our country safe.
We must never forget 9/11. We must make sure that our children and grandchildren know about the day America was attacked by barbarians, and the force with which our country has continued to respond.
We never forget what the days and years following 9/11 proved: that America and Americans cannot be messed with. We will continue to fight for our freedom and our way of life. We will always stand strong against terrorism and do so with an unwavering pride in our country, our democracy.
America is the land of the free. And the brave. These parts of our national identity are sacred. Especially so when our freedom is threatened and our bravery is tested.
Here is the bottom line: 9/11 is not just a moment in history for our country and our people. It is a call to action which reminds us to never forget those who perished and to do everything in our power to prevent future attacks.

The months from November through February are always a long slog for our small staff.
As if the challenges of publishing monthly magazine and daily online content are not enough, we add two huge projects to the mix: our annual Schools, etc. education guide and our annual Camp Fair AZ, held the end of each February. We sandwich them around the busiest season of the year: the winter holidays.
It's exhausting, overwhelming and yet, when it ends, immensely satisfying.
Our 2012 Camp Fair AZ ended Sunday afternoon. The two-day event was a filled with smiles, wide eyes and great information. There were welcoming hugs from longtime vendors who have become friends — some who have attended every one of the nine years we've put on the event. There were wide eyes from children amazed to see a live alligator at Tesseract School Shea Campus on Saturday and a flying (remote-control) fish at Seton Catholic Preparatory High School on Sunday. There were grateful parents who swooped in and spent an hour or so collecting brochures and asking questions. As they thanked us warmly on the way out, we all felt every bit of the extra work was worth it.
When we were packing up to leave on Sunday afternoon, one of the vendors said to me, "Well, at least now you can take a break!" If only. My staff had to hit the ground running on Monday, with deadlines looming for our April magazine.
So it probably wasn't the best time for me to plan my own birthday party and expect them to come. But that's exactly what I did.
A few weeks earlier, on a Sunday afternoon when I was feeling particularly exhausted and ineffective, I honored a whisper of yearning and signed myself up for a "Van Gogh Vino" painting class at Carrie Curran Art Studio in Scottsdale. Carrie started to program to allow non-artists like me to experience the joy of completing a painting. She and her staff provide smocks and supplies, then walk participants through the process in gentle, manageable steps.
I found the process transformative. For three hours, all I had to do was focus on my canvas. There was no room in Carrie's bright, colorful studio for stress and worry. My completed painting didn't look exactly like Van Gogh's "Starry Nights" but it wasn't bad. I was hooked. And eager to share my experience with others.
My birthday falls near Camp Fair ever year. This year, I decided to celebrate it at Carrie's studio. With my staff. Two days after Camp Fair and in the middle of a busy deadline week.
It was probably crazy. The worst possible time. Everyone was feeling behind in their respective workloads and I was planning a party?
Still, we assembled at Carrie's studio yesterday morning. Fortified by bagels and fruit, salads and amazing peanut butter brownies provided by Calendar & Directories Editor Mala Blomquist, we painted. And laughed. And enjoyed each other's company.
As I was filling my plate, I said to staff photographer/writer Dan Friedman that I probably couldn't have picked a worse time to hold a party. He agreed that there is never a "good" time when everyone is busy and time stretched so thin. "But think about it," he said. "If everyone waited until the 'perfect' time to do anything — especially to have a baby — it would never happen." So true.
Sometimes when you least have the time is when you most need to take it — to recharge your energy, replenish your spirit and regain your perspective. For two and a half glorious hours yesterday, that's exactly what the RAK family did.

Dalai Lama tells crowd to care for planet
PORTLAND — The Dalai Lama concluded his three-day Oregon trip by telling a sold-out crowd we need to focus more on the environment and less on the acquisition of material things.
"This is our home; we have to take care of it," the Buddhist monk known as His Holiness said in a panel discussion before 10,000 people at Portland's Memorial Coliseum.
The Dalai Lama was joined by Gov. John Kitzhaber, broadcaster and environmental activist David Suzuki and Andrea Durbin, executive director of the Oregon Environmental Council.
The governor said leaders must find a way to create an economic system that's not based on "unlimited growth and unlimited consumption."
The Dalai Lama took that theme to a more individual level, saying the drive to produce and consume is unhealthy.
"Just make money, make money, make money, spend it on luxuries, I think not good," he said. "Perhaps I am socialist."
Though "socialist" is not a bad word in Portland, the Dalai Lama added: "But freedom is very important. Without freedom, socialist countries collapse and fall."
At an early Saturday news conference, the Dalai Lama took a handful of questions on matters such as love, nature and his daily habits.
Beforehand, he promoted the need for religious harmony and said people with different beliefs should share mutual respect.
He also told the assembled reporters they play an important role in telling people what is reality. He urged them to be honest, truthful, unbiased and, especially, to be diligent investigators.
A reporter, he joked, should have a long nose, like an elephant.
The red-and-saffron-robed spiritual leader later said he listens to BBC radio every morning, and that the censorship practiced in China is harmful and morally wrong.
When asked how nature affects our spirituality, the Dalai Lama consulted with a translator before confessing he could not answer that question, other than to say nature is of utmost importance and must be respected. During the panel discussion, Suzuki and the Dalai Lama both touched on how the move from farming lifestyles to a city jobs has negatively impacted the relationship between humans and nature.
The Dalai Lama also spoke of education, The Oregonian reported. He encourages teaching that emphasizes the interdependence on the 7 billion people who inhabit the world.
"Whether or not we like it," he said, "that is reality. The entire population of the planet is part of me. How to build a happy society, happy human beings on this small planet?
"We have to care about others' well-being."

Mod Edit: The suggestion to allow players to set, stake or bet the amount of points that each player could lose to the winner has been suggested several times. It has also been REJECTED several times. Recently, MichelSableheart explained it well:MichelSableheart wrote:The problem with this suggestion is that it doesn't respect the philosophy behind the current score system. Currently, scores are still somewhat indicative of ability, in the sense that if two players only play a certain type of game against each other, their points will reach a natural balance which reflects their ability. The same is true on a larger scale. The fact that most players vary the type of games they play makes the scoreboard less reliable, and abuse does take place, but the principle is still there. The fact that a players score won't grow higher at a certain point is part of that.
By giving players the option to play for a set amount of points, this natural balancing factor will disappear. You give up whatever indication of strength is there to change the system into a flat out race. Definately not a fan.
This thread contains many of these suggestions. If you want to suggest some variation of betting points, please catch up on the ideas history in this thread and the related threads that are mentioned below. If you see a thread that should be merged here, please inform a moderator. Thank you. --agentcom
Along the same lines, some users have suggested options to wager points in other ways. For example:
An option to make a game worth double the amount of points it would be worth otherwise - http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... &p=2721168
An option for a tournament "pot" - http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... &p=2983671
An option to gamble points on casino games - viewtopic.php?f=471&t=32961
This topic is also related to, but distinct from, the idea of having games worth no points, which has been rejected. In fact, if you were allowed to "stake" zero points, this suggestion would actually allow for these "unrated" games. That discussion is here: viewtopic.php?f=471&t=720
It would be a great idea if we could set the stakes (points) of the game. This way there would be more at risk if you lose or win.

And...as within, so without. Astrology is a field of study encompassing the Mundane and Divine. It is psychological, spiritual, natural science and art. As a divination tool it taps into the intuitive and the feminine. As a discipline, its empirical rigor keeps us going deeper and deeper with intellectual excitement that matches the mystery.
"The positions of the heavens at a particular moment in time, by reflecting the qualities of that moment, also reflect the qualities of anything born at that moment.(...)One does not cause the other; they are synchronous, and mirror each other." ~ Liz Greene
The Dance of Albion (circa 1795) William Blake
The power and radiance of energy fully released, beyond struggle, freed from all bondage and untruth.
Not understanding who I really was made my life very difficult for me. I was conditioned into a belief system that was not my own. I wanted to change myself and fix all the things I was told were wrong about me. I was boxed into a suffocating set of labels and values that were not my own. We all are, and to the extent we understand our true nature is the extent we have a fulfilled life that is energized with love and purpose.
"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." ~ Carl Sagan
Most of us are trying to be something other than ourselves. How do you feel when living from your truest nature?
Freedom ~ Peace ~ Exhileration ~ Joy ~ Love
Understand who you truly are and why you chose to be born based on the blueprint of that magical moment of your birth. Astrology is the study of energy patterns and dynamics. A fundamental assumption is that at the point of your birth, the energies of that sacred moment are imprinted at the core level of your being. Your unique pattern is what an astrology chart depicts. That is the "fate" part. You are who you are, and over millennia of recorded observation and correlation, astrology is very good at describing your energetic pattern.
To see and know yourself in form in this lifetime frees you from trying to be something you are not. The "free will" part is what you choose to do with essentially neutral energy. If you don't resonate with the basic assumption that the chart describes us in some way, then astrology is not for you. If, however, you are willing to consider that assumption, then astrology as a tool supports the deepest levels of self-discovery. Who you are is perfectly beautiful.
My work with you as an astrologer is only to help define, explore, validate, guide and at times push a little. At the end of the day your answers are within. I can confidently say based on years of personal experience and working with others that if used correctly, this tool is the fast track to getting to where you want to be in all areas of life that have meaning for you.
- Discover the blueprint of your soul story, deeper life purpose and the
karmic predicament of your soul.
- Your natal chart is a beautiful tool for unfolding greater levels of
awareness, truth and clarity as programing and hidden beliefs
imprinted in our past are analyzed.
- Consider soul growth and evolution within the context of both early
childhood and past lives.
- Make the right choices for you and understand how, why and when the
best choices for your life can be made.
- Know the cycles that you are in and what is being activated in your
physical, emotional mental and spiritual planes.
- Align to healthy relationships that match who you are.
- Use the power of this understanding to create the best work for you
instead of letting old and unconscious patterns run your life.
- Explode with the joy that comes with the journey, no matter how difficult
some phases may be.
Astrology points a way to a clearer understanding of you, and answers some of the deeper "why" questions. But in the end, the only authority to rely on is yourself. Astrology gives you permission to explore untapped areas and discover your most powerful and enlightened self.
"Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves." ~ Black Elk
"Astrology is a language. If you understand this language, the sky speaks to you." ~Dane Rudhyar

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates is releasing more than 100 Egyptian prisoners in a gesture toward easing strained ties over political crackdowns on groups allegedly linked to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
The releases do not appear to include those held as part of recent arrests linked to political opposition, including more than a dozen Egyptians. Others in custody include UAE citizens charged with coup plotting and suspected ties to groups such as the Brotherhood, which now governs Egypt.
Egyptian officials have complained strongly about the accusations.
The official WAM news agency says UAE President Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan ordered the release Monday of 103 Egyptian inmates.
The prisoners were jailed for financial violations and other crimes, suggesting none of the politically linked detainees are in the group.

Some clinics see drop in thermometer use
To many, the thermometer is an essential piece of home health equipment, right up there with aspirin and ice packs.
But staff at local health clinics say they are seeing a significant number of families that don't own the devices that take body temperatures. And it's not because they can't afford thermometers -- which run as low as $5 for the digital variety.
"I think that the real situation is that they haven't had a thermometer their whole lives, and they think they're doing OK without it," said Dr. Frank Scifo, medical director of physician operation for the Multi-Specialty Group at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport.
Scifo said the problem of families without thermometers is so rampant that St. Vincent's is planning to order 1,000 to distribute free to patients at St. Vincent's urgent care clinics, walk-in clinics and possibly the emergency room.
Though many people -- particularly parents -- think a swipe of a hand across a forehead is enough to determine whether a fever is present, Scifo said it's more complicated than that. A thermometer can tell you how high the fever is, he said, and whether it's going up or down. That's valuable information to have your doctor when you show up at a clinic or emergency room, Scifo said. "A fever is an important part of determining whether someone has a cold or the flu," he said.
Dr. Umanga Dawlagala, director of pediatrics for Optimus Health Care, agreed. Optimus provides a variety of low-cost health services at its sites in Bridgeport, Stratford and Stamford, and staff at all locations have seen many patients who live thermometer-free. Dawlagala said many children she sees have parents who prefer the hand-to-forehead method, of which she does not approve.
"We tell (parents) we need a number to see if it's going up or down," she said.
Dawlagala said she thinks the aversion to thermometers is cultural in some cases. She notices that families of certain ethnicities more than others seem more likely to put stock in their hand as a measuring device.
Dawlagala said many families just need to be educated about the role that fever plays in diagnosing a child's illness. She urges parents to buy a thermometer once the baby is born.
AmeriCares communications manager Donna Porstner said the group's free clinic in Norwalk -- the only one that sees pediatric patients -- occasionally sees young patients whose parents don't own thermometers, and doles out free thermometers to these families if they are available.
And at least one urgent care doctor maintains that families don't really need thermometers, despite what Dawlagala and Scifo think. Dr. Sanjeev Rao, a physician at Bridgeport Hospital's Fairfield Urgent Care, said his clinic serves people who don't own thermometers, and he has no intention of trying to change their ways.
"My personal experience, and what I tell my patients, is not to have thermometers," Rao said. "With a thermometer, all you do is chase the numbers. The height of the fever doesn't tell you anything."
Indeed, the standard for what constitutes a fever is a bit unclear and varies with the patients' age and how you take his or her temperature. For instance, the National Institutes of Health defines a fever for a child as a temperature of 100.4 degrees if taken rectally, and 99.5 degrees if taken orally. A temperature of 98.6 degrees is considered normal.
Rao's rule of thumb is if a child is warm, give them Tylenol or another fever-lowering medication and be patient. Most fevers aren't harmful, and getting obsessed with numbers doesn't help. "If you don't own a thermometer, you decrease your anxiety."
Scifo disagreed, though he does allow that knowing the temperature of a fever "certainly isn't the be-all-end-all. But it is a piece of information that's very helpful to have."

This interesting grave marker is located in the Bohemian National Cemetery of Baltimore. It captured my interest immediately not only because of the inscription, but the unusual shape.
Doing a little research I discovered "Deciphering German and Bohemian (Czech) Gravestone Inscriptions" located on the Washington County, Kansas, KSGenWeb page. From this site I learned the inscription "Zde Odpociva" means "Rest in Peace". Also, that the tree stump means a person's life has been cut short. Amazing the resources available to research all aspects of our ancestors lives.

Tombstone Tuesday - Bohemian Tree Stump Gravestone

Is it possible this ancestor also belonged to the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal group?ReplyDelete
Not sure. Gives me another avenue to research! Thanks.ReplyDelete
Enjoyed your post. I am constantly looking for tombstones shaped like a tree. I had not heard about a life cut short.ReplyDelete
I didn't know there was a Czech cemetery in Baltimore. There are quite a few Bohemians in my home county of Baylor, Texas, and there is an old Czech church and cemetery there. "Zde odpociva" is a little closer to "Here lies" or "Here rests."ReplyDelete

Born: 1926, Snekkersten, Denmark
Describes the Danish people's responsibility to help their Jewish fellow citizens [Interview: 1989]
Preben was born to a Protestant family in Snekkersten, a small fishing village. The Germans invaded Denmark in 1940. Preben became a courier in the resistance. When the Gestapo (German Secret State Police) began hunting down Jews in Denmark in October 1943, Preben helped hide refugees in houses near the shore and led them to boats which took them to Sweden. Preben himself had to take refuge in Sweden in November 1943. He returned to Denmark in May 1945.

The weatherman cooperated wonderfully on Thursday afternoon, August 15 with the sun shining brightly and the temperatures hovering around 75-degrees.
On the racetrack sophomore trotting fillies were featured in three divisions of the $155,000 NY Sires Stakes and five splits of Excelsior Series trots each racing for a $12,700 purse. And to go along with the NYSS filly trots there were two overnight trots, and despite 10 trotting races on the half-mile track still fans wagered $746,943 on the racing card.
By and large the competing fillies were well behaved and as usual some stood out.
Bouncing Bax's 1:58.2 triumph in her $52,383 division turned out to be the fastest filly trot of the afternoon although Proclaiming April's 1:58.2 victory was just a tick slower. And although Barn Babe's 2:00.2 was the slowest of the three splits it was, nevertheless , equally as impressive and she was the only betting favorite to win an NYSS trot today.
The triumph by Bouncing Bax over the odds-on favorite, Long Island Tea, was not only the fastest trip of the day but the daughter of Credit Winner-Bax Machine sparked the biggest pay-off on the afternoon card when she returned a $40.80 win mutuel.
In her split, Bouncing Bax got away slowly and after racing along in fourth position some nine lengths off the lead at the three-eighths pole, so driver Howard Parker moved his filly first-up and she continually moved forward and at the top of the lane she was just a head off the pace-setter Wygant Girl, driven by Cat Manzi.
When they straightened for home Bouncing Bax trotted around Wygant Lady and then held off a strong late rally by the $135,000 yearling purchase Long Island Tea, driven by Brian Mattison. Wygant Lady faded and finished third.
Trainer Jim Raymer joined Parker for the winners circle photograph and was getting ready to hold the filly for a picture when he overheard Parker being asked how come she was so great today?
Parker didn't have a chance answer because Raymer turned quickly and said, "She was that great last week at Vernon (Downs) too, but I just didn't drive her right."
Owned by the Harbor Racing Stable of Houston, Texas it was the filly's first win in 10 starts this year and she raised her seasonal bankroll to nearly $73,000.
In her $53,383 division Proclaiming April, a daughter of Conway Hall-Lawn Tennis, raced unchallenged on the front end and was an easy winner over the odds on favorite Lola De Vie.
Trainer Trond Smedshammer was in the bike and hustled Proclaiming April to front and they had a two length lead by the first stanza in :29.1. At the half in :59.2, favored Lola De Vie and driver Jimmy Morrill, Jr. were in third place some 4-1/2 lengths behind the leader.
Lola De Vie closed to within two lengths of the lead at the head of the stretch but in no way could she reel-in Proclaiming April who led her to the wire for an easy 1-1/2 length victory. Fifty Shades and driver Mark MacDonald took home the show dough.
"She's been a good filly all year but last week we had a bad post and she finished back," Smedshammer said of Proclaiming April who now has bankrolled nearly $150,000 this season. "Post positions make a big difference everywhere but especially on a half mile track."
Proclaiming April paid $12.40 for win and is owned by the White Birch Farm.
The other $53,383 split was an oh-so-easy victory for Steven and Nancy Pratt's, Barn Babe. Sent off as the 1-4 favorite from the pole position, driver John Cummings, Jr. naturally took the lead and despite soft early fractions of :30.3 and 1:02 no one wanted to challenge the daughter of Cash Hall-My Baby's Momma.
As the field headed into the clubhouse turn the pace began to quicken and Barn Babe had a two length lead as she passed the third stanza in 1:31:4. From there, with a :28.3 final quarter, Barn Babe was home free by three lengths in 2:00.2 over Royal Malinda and driver Dan Daley. Bostonz Credit was third for Jeff Gregory.
After the race Cummings was asked if he was worried going into the race. "I knew she was the best and we got away with an easy front-end trip but she would have handled this field racing from the back, too."
Now with six wins and three thirds in 11 starts Barn Babe has bankrolled almost $99,000 this year and has lifetime earnings in excess of $245,000.
Owner Steve Pratt joined Cummings in the winners circle and he couldn't resist saying "Not bad for a $5,000 purchase two years ago at (the) Morrisville (Sale).
Five $12,700 divisions of the Excelsior Series , also for 3 year-old trotting fillies, comprised the undercard of which two were won by Gates Brunet.
The veteran horseman scored with Bluish And Crush ($8.00) in 2:01.4 and with Tamasin Hall($9.80)m in 2:00.1.
Brunet, who trucked in from Vernon NY after his final victory said," I hated to coming here today because I thought both of my fillies would run since they have been racing on big tracks but I was pleasantly surprised because they stayed at their business and went good miles." .
Other Excelsior winners were Money Show ($4.00) in 2:02 for Jimmy Morrill, Jr., Makes Me Crazy ($6.20) in 2:01.2 for Claude Huckabone Jr. and Maggie O ($3.20) in 2:00.4 again for Jimmy Morrill, Jr.

Steamboat police searching for 3rd man suspected of wielding knife during kidnapping
November 1, 2012
Steamboat Springs — Police on Thursday still were looking for a third man who they think used a knife to threaten a man, kidnap him and then forcibly take him to a Steamboat Springs bank to withdraw money.
Steamboat Springs Police Department Capt. Jerry Stabile said officers on Thursday were preparing an arrest warrant for Rylan Laszewski, a 2010 Steamboat Springs High School graduate.
Bond was set Thursday for the two other Steamboat men who police say were involved in the incident. Both were arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, first-degree kidnapping and first-degree burglary. Judge James Garrecht set a $100,000 bond for Bruce S. Lobban, 34. Bond was set at $50,000 for Jacob M. Humpal, 21.
An affidavit filed in Routt County Court by Detective Dave Kleiber reveals more details about the Wednesday afternoon incident.
According to police, the 21-year-old male victim told police that the three men came into his home in the 300 block of Old Fish Creek Falls Road and that Laszewski, the man still wanted by police, was holding a knife and demanding money. The victim told police he owed one of the men $1,000 related to a 8-month-old drug debt.
After telling the men he did not have the money at the house, the victim told police he was forced into a car and driven to the Wells Fargo bank at Third Street and Lincoln Avenue. The victim reported he was escorted into the bank by Laszewski, the man who police think had the knife. Once inside, the victim told police, he felt safe being in a public place, so he pulled out a cellphone and called 911. The victim reportedly told Laszewski he was calling police, and Laszewski fled. He got away, but police arrested Humpal and Lobban, who had been waiting outside in the car. Humpal was arrested in the car, and Lobban was arrested nearby. According to police, Lobban fled after getting a phone call from his accomplice inside the bank saying the police had been called.
Recommended Stories For You
According to the affidavit, Humpal and Lobban agreed to be interviewed by police after the incident, and they admitted they were involved. The affidavit states the men had met at a downtown bar earlier Wednesday and had discussed the plan and whether to bring a knife.

Designed specifically to complement the small form factor of the modern netbook, the Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB drive is tiny. It's barely bigger than the USB connector itself, with the storage section jutting out a mere 5mm when plugged in.
The entire thing only measures 17.15 x 14.85 x 7.7mm, and because it is so small, it can even be left in a netbook on a semi-permanent basis, offering an expansion over the computer's internal HDD capacity. And, as it comes in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB sizes, that can be quite a substantial increase.
Verbatim is keen to stress that, although it's called Store 'n' Go Netbook, the memory stick can be used in any USB device, including tablet PCs, plus it is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems.
Full prices are yet to be confirmed, but the 8GB version costs £14.99, and all three are available in the shops now.

Item: UKIT1-PTZ150
1 Outdoor PTZ; Pan, Tilt, Zoom Camera Surveillance Kit; 150' Night Vision
This kit includes:(1) 4 Channel 4K Network Video Recorder Part# UNVR4-POE
(1) One Terabyte Video Storage Hard Drive Part# 1T-HD
(1) Outdoor PTZ Dome Camera, 150ft Night Vision, Manual Zoom Lens, Part#PT4G118S200
(1) 75 Foot Cat6 Network Cables Part#CAT6-75
(1) Plug in Power Supply Included with Camera.
Pan-Tilt-Zoom Night Vision HD Speed Dome
This speed dome is equipped with a 4-84mm optical zoom lens and a high performance HD 2.4 megapixel imaging system, ideal for professional surveillance applications. This Outdoor PTZ Camera allows you to view distant images close-up with crisp detail. Employing an advanced pan/tilt mechanism, it provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and tilt. You can easily control the lens position with a mouse, smart phone or a joystick to track the object you are monitoring. The day and night function makes this camera ideal for operating under diverse lighting conditions and produces up to 150 foot night vision in complete darkness.
The camera is equipped with automatic touring. This allows you to set up to 220 custom positions and have the camera run on an automatic tour based on the pre-selected positions.
- 2.4 Megapixel Sony Chip
- 3 Axis Motorized
- WDR, Day/Night
- Multiple Network Monitoring
- 4-84mm Motorized Zoom Lens
- 150 Ft Night Vision System
- Weather Rated: IP67
- Power 12v DC
- Wall, Corner or Pole Mount
- Network/Cat5 Connections
Night VisionThis camera is equipped with Infrared LED's. The LED's cast out infrared light the human eye cannot see, but the camera can. During the day the camera produces vivid color video, when the light level drops below a minimum point the camera automatically switches the IR system on. The camera then produces very high quality black and white night vision video.
PowerThe camera includes its own power supply. Pan, tilt, zoom cameras are equipped with three motors (pan, tilt and zoom) in addition to a heater and a fan. PTZ cameras cannot be powered in the same manner as normal cameras because of the additional power requirement. PTZ cameras require two cables; one to transmit the video and the other for power. They are shipped with their own power supply and must have access to an electrical outlet. The power outlet can be located next to the camera or up to 200 feet away; and a power cable ran to the camera. It is important that you use the power supply shipped with the camera. Do not use a multi-camera power supply or a PoE unit; doing so will cause performance issues.
WDR - Wide Dynamic RangeWide dynamic range is a feature built into this camera that handles a wide range of lighting conditions. In a scene with extremely bright and dark areas or in back-light situations where a person is in front of a bright window, a typical camera would produce an image where objects in the dark areas would hardly be visible. WDR solves this by applying various techniques to enable objects in both bright and dark areas to be visible. This feature is essential if the camera is going to be used for license plate capture.
8 Channel 4K Network Video RecorderThe NVR included with this kit offers maximum recording performance; supporting 2-12 megapixel (4K) IP security cameras. The result is crystal clear video and powerful easy to use features. The unit is packed with the latest recording and remote viewing features.

|crystal of plush palate & rue magazine, ashlina of the decorista, heinz of 220 elm, marissa of styebeat, and moiself, enjoying a rest stop on a deep and loungy nailhead studded sofa by outer limits, who fed us lemonade slushies while we waited for my phone to recharge.
|also loved these overscale, modern wing chairs around a dining table at outer limits. (thanks for the pictures of this showroom, crystal- as stated, my phone was dead during this stop). and bonus, outerlimits upholstery is made right here in LA- we love made in the usa products!
|great minds think alike- ashlina and i simultaneously had the idea to custom color this rug from mat the basics in green tones to resemble malachite.
|loving the lacquer at leif peteresen inc- lots of great modern design in this showroom...
|"ghost-y" illuminated outdoor pieces at terry seitz inc, another great 220 elm showroom. crystal almost looks like she is floating on clouds, and we can definitely see these used outside in a glamorous palms springs setting.
|sometimes, it's the little things that make the difference- loved the branded pens and notepads at the entrance to the showroom to make notes once inside...
|palliser is big on leather, with 88 leather options to chose from (in addition to 200 fabrics)
|long days at high point mean taking any opportunity to relax, like ashlina is doing in the bristol sectional. love the "dream big" on the wall behind ash. if you knew ashlina, you'd know how appropriate that sentiment is- girlfriend is going places!
|oh wait- palliser has an ejector option for that too! (no reason you can't have fun while working, right? and boy did we have fun on our tour!)
|this rick lee designed sectional for palliser is seriously chic. slick modernism, but without a scary italian import price tag.
