Take the first title. We do not need that the Bishop of someone who had (arguably) mental problems, was killed, right?

Leigh Reyes: "Desiderata: Are these the flex pens you're looking for?"
N.B. I reproduced this post in its entirety because it has the most comprehensive discussion, photographs, and model choices I presented up until its point of publication.
I first heard of this project when Pierre asked me and many others to answer a survey designed to help him come up with a flex pen. We heard back from him in May, when he emailed us looking for a focus group. By July 2014, he'd sent us pictures of his prototypes. Desiderata Pens opened in November.
Essentially, what Pierre did was fountain pen housing for the Zebra G nib. G nibs are used for manga, but in recent years have been widely adopted by calligraphy and lettering artists for their expressiveness and line variation.
I'm sure you're thinking, "Hey, that sounds familiar." You'd be right. This isn't untrodden territory. Ackerman Pump Pens have been around since 2007 or so, and the designs have gone through several iterations since then. What's remained constant is the pump mechanism, which lets thicker media like India ink, diluted gouache, etc. to be "forced" to the nib.
Desiderata pen models have no such mechanism, and are really fountain pens with disposable nibs, meant to be used with fountain pen ink.
The Daedalus and Mercury models were interesting, but what made me curious enough to order was the one-off Woodglass. Part wood and part acrylic, it was a "wooden demonstrator fountain pen" that I couldn't wait to try. I decided to add a Mercury in koa wood to the order, so I would have one to play with while Pierre finished making the Woodglass pens.
The Mercury design is long, more of a deskpen or an artist's brush length rather than a standard fountain pen. I like it for drawing. The Woodglass is a stunner. It deserves to have a regular production run. It came with two section and trim options (black or white) and a choice of ED or sac. I've kept the sac version uninked, for now, and am enjoying the ED version. Both models have tiny studs on the cap that act like roll stoppers.
It works out fine, because the Mercury has a sac. I cheat a little – the nib and feed come out easily, so I just use an eyedropper to fill the sac to capacity.
Here's a closer look at the nib and feed.
The feed is ebonite and looks hand-finished. Pigment inks (like my favorite Platinum Carbon Black) build up pretty quickly between the nib and feed, so regular cleaning (or even just swishing in water in between uses) is a must.
So here's the Woodglass. The only difference between the Woodglass and the Mercury is the form. The nib, feed and section are the same. This one is currently inked with Pilot Blue Black, my new favorite ink thanks to its generous flow and water resistance.
This nib has been in the pen for about a week. Steel nibs do corrode, and need to be replaced often. You can often feel the corrosion at the tip – what used to draw extremely fine hairlines starts to bite into the paper too much.
I'm so tempted to keep this Woodglass uninked for future blog posts.
Nikko G nibs don't fit. Neither do Tachikawa G nibs. I'm sure pliers are the answer, but I don't have time for that today. I'm more partial to the Tachikawa, to be honest. But the Zebra G is a lovely nib, too.
Scrub the nib and the feed with toothpaste to clean and prime both for use. Rinse very well – you don't want any particles left in the feed channel that can obstruct ink flow. Don't set the nib too deeply into the section. (The close-ups above show what I consider the "sweet spot" for ink flow to the nib.)
Certain inks work better than others. I've had a few flow issues with J. Herbin. Platinum Carbon Black is a nib killer but worth it for the brief moment that everything is perfect. (Seriously, if you use a lot of PCB in ink-and-watercolor-wash work, you need a Desiderata pen in your art case.) Pilot Blue Black flows out of the nib in eye-widening amounts and takes some getting used to – but I'm beginning to love it for drawing and calligraphy practice.
The sample demonstrates the kind of expressiveness and quantity of lines you can get with the pen. It's good to not have to lose the rhythm of one's drawing because of the need to dip every time the ink runs out. Dip pens do have the edge when it comes to the media that can be used (shellac, iridescent ink, liquid acrylic, and more).

Welcome to Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Singapore)
When China began its open-door policy in 1978, this led to abundantacademic exchanges of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) between Singapore and China. Then, in 1995, the Singapore Government set up the Traditional Chinese Medicine Committee to accord due recognition to TCM, and ultimately lead to the legitimization of the practice of TCM at 2004. Both these events have encouraged many ambitious TCM practitioners to further pursue Masters or Doctorate degree courses in various Universities and Colleges in China.

Genre: Shooter
Publisher: Codemasters
Developer: Blue Omega
Release Date: Q4 2008
It's not really difficult to trace the development of shooter games to certain landmark titles. Once Half-Life got big, you started to see the inspiration of its story line and level design trickle into other games on the market. Once Halo hit, the idea of a regenerating health bar instead of the Doom-style medpaks took over, and Gears of War popularized cover movement and squad tactics that had normally been the dominion of super-realistic titles like Rainbow Six. Damnation is pretty clearly a post-Gears of War title, but it isn't really fair to call it a knockoff, because while it's heavily inspired by Gears of War, it's actually trying something quite unique. According to Codemasters, Damnation isn't just a shooter. It's a vertical shooter.
Damnation is set in an alternate timeline. Due to unexplained events, the American Civil War never ended. Instead, it continued to escalate, sparked on by military-industrial robber barons, who continued to pump out new technology in an attempt to maintain their stranglehold on the wealth of the country. The worst of these was a robber baron named Prescott, who by the 1900s, has turned America into his own private fiefdom, complete with an army of mercenary soldiers equipped with the finest weapons to roll off the Prescott assembly lines. You're put into the shoes of Rourke, a skilled gunman and leader of a group of rebels who are seeking to stop Prescott and put an end to his reign of terror once and for all. It's no "Casablanca," but the alt-history Civil War setting adds a neat visual flair and allows for a bit of freedom compared to the usual dank city or space station locales that most shooters choose to populate, which is quite important due to the vertical shooter concept.
The term "vertical shooter" may tend to make you think of games like Ikaruga or 1942, but Codemasters has something different in mind for Damnation, which is a third-person shooter built around the idea of battling on a vertical, not a horizontal, plane. The result is something not too far from Prince of Persia meets Gears of War. The basic gameplay is quite similar to what you'd see in any modern TPS title. Anyone popping into Damnation from Gears of War will find a lot of familiar aspects here. You can only hold two weapons at a time and switch between them at will, with the weapons we saw in the demo being made up primarily of shooter mainstays like the machine gun, sniper rifle and shotgun. The health system is straight out of any modern FPS, with a regenerating health bar that slowly recovers as long as you're not taking damage. As you can tell, Damnation's basic gameplay doesn't exactly turn the shooter concept on its head, but this is where the idea of vertical shooter comes in.
The twist comes in the fact that Rourke and pals are significantly more agile than their counterparts in Gears of War or similar titles. They can scale walls, hop over pits, shimmy up and down poles, and even slide down ziplines to get where they need to go. This makes getting from point A to point B a bit more of an involved process than the rather linear progression seen in most shooters, where jumping seems basically worthless for actual movement. However, your acrobatics in Damnation are not limited to travel; in the demo we saw, the heroes were capable of using these abilities to get into the second or third stories of buildings, allowing them to flank opponents, or simply get out of the line of fire. The controls from these acrobatics looked exceedingly smooth and easy to perform, and moving from gunplay to acrobatics seemed to require no effort at all.
The demo level involved Rourke and his team exploring the Rocky Mountains in an attempt to reach and destroy a bridge that was far off in the distance. It actually was a fairly interesting level, requiring his team to slowly make its way across tons of gaps by climbing buildings, swinging from flagpoles and discovering ziplines to cross over impassible chasms. The only problem with the demo is that, well, it didn't really show off the vertical aspect that much. While there was certainly some climbing and platforming involved, I'm afraid I never really got the feeling that it was more about climbing up than moving forward. To be fair, the developers assured me that this demo was only part of the first level, and the later stages in the game where two or three times larger and far more vertical.
In a vertical battlefield, a map would be almost useless. The overlapping layers would make it basically impossible to tell exactly where friend or foe was without causing the map to become a jumbled, overcomplicated mess. Thankfully, Damnation has a rather nice way of handling this. Rourke has access to an ability called Spirit Vision, the source of which is not yet explained, but it can be activated at the press of a button. Spirit Vision is a pretty basic concept, and not unlike what you've seen in games like Assassin's Creed. Activating it turns the entire game world into a ghostly see-through experience, with various enemies and allies surrounded by glowing auras. Using this, you can look around to get a clear idea of where everyone is on the battlefield, even without a map, and it also will provide hints as where to shimmy off to next.
Damnation will also boast a fully realized multiplayer mode. Although Rourke is the main character, another player can actually hop in and take control over one of the other members of his team at any time. According to Codemasters, this can either be done via split-screen or online play, not unlike Gears of War, with both characters being able to communicate and work together to defeat enemies. While Rourke's Spirit Vision ability is supposed to be related to his backstory, the developers mentioned that in co-op mode, both characters will have access to it, so no worries about your poor soldier being restricted because not being a magical cowboy. Sometimes the plot has to take a backseat to gameplay after all.
Graphically, Damnation was a pretty nice-looking game. The environments were large and detailed, and it was quite neat to see the team reach the bridge and be able to look back over the entire canyon it had just traversed. You can even spot the point where the team had started the demo. The weapons and characters had a nice visual Western-steampunk flair to them, which helped set them apart from most of the other third-person shooters on the market. I can't tell you how nice it is to have a cowboy main character as opposed to yet another identical marine in a power suit. Most impressive is the sense of scale. Everything feels correctly large, and if the vertical shooter aspect plays out as well as they promise, it should be a jawdropping sight when you actually come across something suitably large that needs to be climbed.
The Damnation demo only showed off a small part of the first level, and while we saw a lot of potential in the vertical shooter concept, the arena they chose to demonstrate wasn't overly good at showcasing exactly how a vertical shooter was different from a classic shooter. The ideas involved, however, are quite interesting, and if the later levels of the game pan out, Damnation could end up being a darn interesting addition to the rather bloated third-person shooter genre. It's a title worth keeping an eye on, and once actual assets are available from the later levels in the game, we should have a better idea of what exactly make a vertical shooter so special.

History was made at the Little League World Series (LLWS) Friday night as three pitchers representing the Southeast Regional winners from Greenville, N.C. combined to throw a perfect game in their 6-0 win against Sioux Falls, S.D. of the Midwest.
[Now's the time to sign up for Fantasy Football! Join for free]
Chase Anderson, Matthew Matthijs and Carson Hardee set down all 18 batters they faced as they completed the first perfect game at the LLWS in Williamsport since 2008, when Jesus Sauceda of Mexico was perfect against Italy in a game shortened to four innings due to the mercy rule.
18 up, 18 down. https://t.co/wPIVshrLxw
— ESPN (@espn) August 19, 2017
According to ESPN Stats and Info, the perfect game was the fifth at the LLWS since 1970 and the first involving teams from the U.S. during that time frame.
Chase Anderson, who shares a name with the Milwaukee Brewers pitcher but is not related, started the game for Greenville and racked up four strikeouts over this three innings. He was relieved by Matthew Matthijs, who struck out five of the eight batters he faced. That put the pressure on Carson Hardee to close it out, and close it out he did with the team's tenth strikeout of the game.
North State Little League just finished the first perfect game since 2008. Now that is impressive. #LLWS pic.twitter.com/nzy0sIUMee
— Edward Sheehy (@EdwardSheehyTV) August 19, 2017
Ironically, the six-run difference was the smallest margin of defeat among the four games that were played on Friday.
Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., representing the West, walked away with a 10-1 win against Walla Walla, Wash., from the Northwest. In the international bracket, Japan topped Australia 8-0 while Asia-Pacific bested the Caribbean 10-1.
Greenville's win sets up what appears to be a heavyweight matchup with Rancho Santa Margarita on Sunday. The Northeast champions from Fairfield, Conn., and the Southwest champions from Lufkin, Texas will also meet in the winners bracket.

From the desk of Fjordman on Wed, 2008-03-05 11:26
"Bat Ye'or in her book about Eurabia documented how European leaders have for years been quietly planning to merge Europe with the Islamic world. This has been denounced as a "conspiracy theory." Only a few months ago the British Foreign Minister David Miliband said openly that the European Union should expand to include the Muslim Middle East and North Africa. Now French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are saying virtually the same thing. The greatest betrayal in European history is fact, not fiction. And to think that many people supported Sarkozy because he should "halt" Islamization. Now he is speeding it up"(Read Article)

Have you ever had a moment where you've said something and as you're saying it you kind of can't believe what you're saying? You've heard yourself telling the same story about how you endured a soul-sucking job, tolerated your obnoxious boss or felt exhausted and stuck in your business.
I was catching up with some old friends this weekend about some of our experiences and how our lives have changed over time. I was telling the story of when I first started my private counseling practice how I was contracted by Social Services to help clients who were "unmotivated and unwilling" (i.e., court ordered) referred by social services who were at risk of losing their children to the court system.
And especially about how I was on call 24/7 (remember pagers?) and we couldn't take a family weekend away because there was no one else who could be "on call." Sometimes I needed a police escort to my appointments. How every Monday morning I'd find myself thinking "why am I doing this?".
Since the social services contract made up 90% of my private practice, I was very busy. I did the "crisis counselor" thing as an in-home-intensive-family-therapist for about 8 years. And for the last six of them I'd be thinking "why am I doing this?"
As I explained this it dawned on me that it had taken rather a long time for me to go from realizing I wasn't enjoying it to actually doing something about it. Over 6 years. Wow. I was being held hostage by my own habits.
Much of the work I do today with business and executive coaching clients these days gives them a new perspective on their business and their impact. Shows them possibilities and solutions they just hadn't thought of before.
But often, just like me on a Monday morning, they already know they need something different. Sometimes they even know what that different thing is. But they feel stuck. Held hostage by habits.
Because when you've done something for a long, long time it becomes part of you. It's just what you do. For some, It's who you become. A mindless habit. It's easy. It's familiar. It's certain. You know how to do it. I've heard it all (and done it myself).
Even though you don't like it, or it's not really getting you the results you need, it's a lot less scary than something completely new that might not work at all. Or might make you look silly. Or you might fail.
It took over six years (and a lot of encouragement from my husband) for me to get the courage to give up the certain income that came with that counseling contract and do what I really wanted to do.
Don't let it take you that long to try something new in your business (or career).
You don't have to change everything. But pick one thing you don't think is working well and drop it for a few months and do something else instead. Stop saying "yes" to every request and say "let me give it some thought and I'll get back to you." Stop taking on new clients who don't fit your ideal client profile and say "Thank you, but it's not a good fit, let me refer you to someone who could be a better fit for your needs."
If it works, keep doing it. If it doesn't, try something else – sooner rather than later.
Not rocket science. Obvious on paper. Trickier to do in real life. Therefore the six years.
It doesn't have to be this way. Don't you waste six more years, or even six more months doing something that constantly drains you, leaves you feeling exhausted or fails to bring you joy.
What's one small thing you are willing to do (or stop doing) today so you aren't held hostage by habits?

text: Hi, thanks, what I'm actually doing is, using the HP-UX box to answer the rboot request, transmitting a lifimage. I have two of those, one that crashes with an HPMC BUS ERROR and one which starts the debian installation, which looks promising, but is not really what I wnat to do. Another problem is, that I have absolutly no experience with debian, except I downloaded some sourcefiles once in a while. So all apt-install tip don't work for me, the parisc linux box is not connected to a internetwork. Cheers Martin

The Exped Torrent 30 Daypack is a waterproof pack for day hikes, short adventures, and paddle trips. When you need just one extra dry sack to pack up your boat, or are looking to head out on a short trip, this one will do the job, especially when it comes to keeping your gear dry. It's just 30 liters, so it won't allow you to pack the kitchen sink, but it'll get the essentials. Roll the lid three times, cinch the compression strap, then sling the whole thing on your back and get on with the good times in nature.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

Well, okay, they existed in some sense of the word, but both consoles were far from publicly ready, making Watch Dogs an unbelievably pretty game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Unbelievable to the point that many journalists were incredulous about it not being touted as intended for next-gen, but Ubisoft couldn't say it was headed to unannounced consoles. In so many words, Watch Dogs was essentially the first "next-gen" game shown off … even before the consoles were unveiled. It's somewhat hilarious then that we're here to tell you today that Watch Dogs now has a release date — May 27th — after being delayed past the actual launch of the new consoles. It's unclear if that means all versions (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC and Wii U) will arrive on the same day, though the Wii U version was already given a release date sometime after the other versions. Sorry Wii U, owners! Share On

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
Holiday parties and me do not mix. Or they do -- too well. With whiskey.
My drunkest holiday party was the year that the stock market crashed, and News Corp. stopped having their big blowout at the Hyatt, which years past had always been an absurdly overblown extravaganza with every room "themed" and Rupert Murdoch there to partake in all the fun. You know it's a party when Murdoch's in the house.
Not in 2007, though. Everyone was broke. No corporate holiday party, guys, sorry. But not at The New York Post, boy. It was actually kind of awesome. The entire newsroom rallied and coordinated to gather at Langan's, the unofficial Post bar right around the corner from the newspaper. And somehow, since this was now the "unofficial" party it made it even more exciting -- and potentially sordid. No limits. This shit wasn't even HR-sanctioned.
I invited my then-boyfriend at the time, and by the time he arrived, I was already half in the bag. It was too late. There was no going back to the shore now. I was ready to fucking party. I started with Maker's Mark followed with the responsible floater choice of more Maker's Mark and well I don't want to be rude if the boss is buying, more Maker's! I immediately felt the rush of warmth and ease throughout my body as everything, everybody seemed to flow. Fuuuuuun. The first thing I noticed out of the corner of my eye was the concern in my boyfriend's face when he arrived. I laughed a little too loudly, was a little too friendly, starting to get a little too loose. One coworker who had dated a guy I once slept with in college (and knew this fact, but we never really spoke of it) came over to make small talk. I decided now was the perfect time to talk about it! Because that's not awkward at all. Remember that time we slept with the same guy? Merry Christmas!
The red-faced sweaty flush was overtaking me now. My boyfriend gripped my arm and squeezed it a little tighter.
As the night went on, I flitted around the bar, flirting and laughing and talking and telling stories that I shouldn't be telling. Who likes secrets, you guys? This was the best kind of party. And like any kind of apocalyptic-tinged, economy-collapsing-all-around-us party, it was all engines go. Who knows what bank would fold the next day, and we were getting drunk. I don't want to say it was pretty much our job -- but it was pretty much our job.
Countless whiskeys in, I was sitting on the barstool, half listening to my boyfriend talk to an important editor's girlfriend. "Hey," I interrupted the two of them mid-conversation, way too loud, way too aggressive, way too close talking, "Listen up. I don't 'know you' know you, but I want you to back off. Because he's MINE. Mine." They both looked at me nervously, nodding. Don't poke the tiger, folks.
Luckily for them, my attention then drifted to a male editor who was talking to a ladyfriend of his next to me. Now this was an editor who I had once given an intensely hard time to when he somewhat flirtatiously reached into my hand with his fingers and then sort of tickled them around on the palm of my hand for a minute. It was unprompted, harmless, after another late night at Langan's. My response at the time (when I was not half in the bag) was to say, "Oh that's your move, is it? Subtly sexualize the situation and show women how you'd diddle their vagina?" He turned bright red and withdrew his hand from mine in horror. So this little experience was still lodged and starting to come up, come up, come up from the depths of my increasingly besotted brain. I didn't say anything as I watched him like a hawk. I just watched him. I was coming to some sort of conclusion. I watched as he jabbed his hand to make a point to the woman he was talking to. I sat there, watching his index finger as he tried to make his point. Jabbing, jabbing, jabbing, making that point. And then I --
-- bit his finger.
Gently. Just kind of took it, and put it in my mouth. My teeth kind of gingerly clamped onto it. It was nothing more than a nibble, really.
He and the woman he was talking to froze in utter disbelief.
"Mandy?" he asked.
What, can't a bitch bite a finger of one of her bosses at the holiday party? IT'S CHRISTMAS.
My boyfriend swooped in. "Uh, maybe it's time we switched seats," he said to the editor politely. I let go of the editor's finger and smiled. Now it was a party!
Like a queen overseeing her subjects, I sat there and swiveled and talked and laughed and drank and drank and drank and then --
-- BOOM. I was on the floor.
Like as in, I just fully slid off the seat, unprompted. Flat. Onto the ground.
My boyfriend kind of smiled to everyone, again, incredibly polite, and they smiled and nodded back, as this was obviously the universal language for saying goodbye and may the spirit of Jesus Christ be with you all. He dragged me reluctantly to a cab. But why? Why did we have to go? It was just getting fun!
Now I don't remember this next part, but he very helpfully filled me in the next morning. Apparently, because this is always a good way to cap off any evening of holiday-themed merriment, I kept insisting, with increasing volume every time: "Let's fuck in the cab! Come on! Come on, I want to fuck in the cab! Let's do it!"
He declined. Politely.
Outside his building then, I did what any excellent girlfriend does. As I uncertainly exited the very relieved cab driver's taxi, I struggled to gather my balance, I then stumbled and, yes, there's a good place. Right there. That will do.
I doubled over and proceeded to puke all over the street. In front of his building. In front of his doorman. In front of his neighbors.
And, scene!
Good show, Mandy. Good show.
Of course, nothing came of any of it. Well, besides the whole getting sober thing eventually a year later. But no consequences with the editor whose finger I gently gnawed. I have not kept in touch with the barstool. And the editor no longer dates the woman who I threateningly bore my teeth at for making small talk with my date. In fact, in terms of Post holiday parties, I would say my behavior would probably earn me a gold star. I had weaved a story. I had made an impression. I had become tabloid-fodder-worthy even. "Drunk reporter bites finger, falls off barstool, begs boyfriend to bang in a cab, then brings it home with a spirited vomit finale."
I would read that.
So that's my wild holiday party adventure. But I know you have one to top it. And a national TV program does too, so they approached xoJane to ask us to solicit our awesome readers to potentially get you on their segment about this time-honored tradition. Did you Xerox your boobs? Sleep with your boss on top of a stack of mailbox crates? Set a cabinet filled with internal documents on fire?
It's your turn to share below, and please for the love of all that is red and green and wrapped with a bow, please email email@example.com so that a producer can share the wonder of your antics with the world. Do it for the spirit of Christmas. Do it for the spirit of whiskey. Do it for the spirit of Human Resources administrators everywhere. (And don't worry, the producers don't have to use real names. Just your stories!)
So let's hear it, kid. Spill.

The tablet war is soon to explode, and as affordable tablets keep rolling out, choices for the consumer are becoming very wide. Well, one of those budget-friendly tablets will be the Toshiba Tablet (which is what we have been calling it until now, and even Toshiba itself has), which is now listed at Newegg.com. Toshiba's device seems to be called the Toshiba "Ant" (funny name, huh?), but it is unknown whether that is the actual name, or it is some sort of short name for "Android Tablet."
Toshiba ANT Specifications:
- Android 3.0 Honeycomb
- 10.1 capacitive multi-touch screen / 1280×800
- 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor (dual-core)
- NVIDIA ULP GeForce GPU
- 1 GB of RAM
- 5 MP rear-facing camera / 2 MP front-facing camera
- 8/16/32 GB of internal storage
- SD Card slot
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, with bluetooth
- 1 USB / 1 mini-USB / 1 HDMI / 1 headphone jack
Whether it will be named after our hardworking buddies or not, this device is actually not running low on specs. There will be 3 versions of this tablet (only differentiating in internal storage): the 8 GB version (ANT-100) will cost $449.99, followed by the 16 GB version (ANT-102), which will go for $499.99, and lastly, the 32 GB one (ANT-104), selling for $579.99.
Along with tablets like the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and the Acer Iconia Tab, Toshiba's ANT is coming to shake things up a bit for the Motorola Xoom, which is a great device, but many complain that it is somewhat overpriced. Strutting these specs, the Toshiba ANT's price is not bad for a Honeycomb tablet, not bad at all…
There is still no word on release date, but now that Newegg has device listed (as "out of stock"), shouldn't it mean that it is coming soon? If it does go for sell soon, will you consider buying one of these guys?

All Saints' Day, also called All Hallows' Day, Hallowmas, or Feast of All Saints, in the Christian church, a day commemorating all the saints of the church, both known and unknown, celebrated on November 1 in the Western churches and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in the Eastern churches. Its origin cannot be traced with certainty, and it has been observed on various days in different places. A feast of all martyrs was kept on May 13 in the Eastern church according to Ephraem Syrus (died c. 373), which may have determined the choice of May 13 by Pope Boniface IV when he dedicated the Pantheon in Rome as a church in honour of the Blessed Virgin and all martyrs in 609. The first evidence for the November 1 date of celebration and of the broadening of the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs occurred during the reign of Pope Gregory III (731–741), who dedicated a chapel in St. Peter's, Rome, on November 1 in honour of all saints. In 800 All Saints' Day was kept by Alcuin on November 1, and it also appeared in a 9th-century English calendar on that day. In 837 Pope Gregory IV ordered its general observance. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, and its eve is still known as Halloween. The period from October 31 to November 2 (All Souls' Day) is sometimes known as Allhallowtide.

In 2006, the National Center for Educational Statistics released a report titled, Internet Access in U.S. Public Schools and Classrooms: 1994–2005 (Wells & Lewis, 2006). This review of 10 years of changes in schools listed a number of key observations. In this text we share the findings. The main point of this information is to provide some context for the world in which you will enter when you take your first teaching position.
Key Points (Based on Data Collected in 2005 from Public Schools)
- Nearly 100 percent of public schools in the United States have access to the Internet. In 1994, this was true of only 35 percent of schools. Ninety-seven percent of the access is broadband and 45 percent of schools also have wireless access.
- Researchers found no differences in school Internet access by any school characteristics.
- The ratio of students to instructional computers with Internet access in public schools is 3.8 to 1. The ratio of students to instructional computers varied by all school characteristics. For example, small schools had better student-to-computer ratios than medium-size and large schools (2.4 to 1 compared with 3.9 to 1 and 4.0 to 1, respectively). In addition, schools with the lowest level of minority enrollment had better student-to-computer ratios than schools with higher minority enrollments.
- Nineteen percent of public schools provide handheld computers (PDAs) to either students or teachers for instructional purposes. The overwhelming majority of school-provided PDAs are provided to teachers, not students.
- Ten percent of public schools lend laptop computers to students. In these schools, 47 percent report that students can borrow them for less than 1 week, 17 percent report that students can borrow them for a period of 1 week to less than 1 month, 16 percent report lending laptops for the entire school year, and 5 percent report lending laptops for some other maximum length of time.
- Of the 90 percent of schools without laptop computers available for loan to students, 3 percent are planning to make laptops available for students to borrow during the next school year.
- Eighty-three percent of public schools with Internet access indicate that their school or school district has offered professional development to teachers in their school on how to integrate the use of the Internet into the curriculum in the year prior to completing the survey.
- Eighty-nine percent of schools indicate they use the Internet to provide data to inform instructional planning at the school level.
- Eighty-seven percent of schools report using the Internet to provide assessment results and data for teachers to use to individualize instruction.
- Eighty-seven percent of schools report using high-quality digital content for teaching (i.e., learning materials brought in from the Web, such as digital libraries and museums, or any text, images, sounds, and video that have been digitized).
- Fifty-one percent report providing online professional development courses to teachers.
- Thirty-two percent provide access for students to online distance learning for courses that are otherwise unavailable at the school.

Or he could blame George Schneiter, who was chairman of the PGA Tournament Committee in 1947 when he came up with a system to select the Ryder Cup team, awarding points for top 10 finishes.
There have been a few tweaks since then, but nothing substantial. And while the PGA of America occasionally looks at other methods, chief executive Jim Awtrey says, 'We haven't found anything that works better.'
But what might have been equitable 54 years ago now seems outdated on a talent-rich PGA Tour where one stroke can be the difference between fifth place and 11th place, between Ryder Cup points and no points.
Verplank can relate.
He was two shots behind at the Byron Nelson Championship and in dire need of birdies. Verplank took aim at a flag tucked behind the pond on the par-3 17th, went into the water and made double bogey. More than a chance to win, more than an extra $90,000 in the bank, those two shots dropped him from a tie for seventh into a tie for 14th.
Two months later at the Western Open, Verplank made a bogey on the 18th hole that dropped him from a tie for seventh into a tie for 11th, costing him another 20 points toward the Ryder Cup.
The PGA Tour is stronger than ever. Finishing in the top 10 is not as easy as it was a decade ago. In his last three starts, Verplank has tied for 11th at the Western, tied for seventh at the British Open and tied for 11th in Milwaukee.
Three solid performances, two of them for naught.
'Why does it have to be top 10?' Brad Faxon said. 'Is ninth that much better than 11th?'
Try explaining that to Chris DiMarco.
The PGA of America in 2001 looked at what would happen if points were awarded to the top 20. Not much changed, although DiMarco would have been 10th. He finished 13th in the standings and was left off the team.
DiMarco is 18th on the current list, and he stopped counting the number of times he has finished outside the top 10 by one or two strokes over the last three years.
'It doesn't reward guys that are consistent,' DiMarco said.
Charles Howell III posed an interesting scenario. A player could miss the cut in three majors, finish fifth in the other and gain 120 points. Another player could finish 11th in all four majors and get nothing.
'You can't argue with the guys who make the team,' Howell said. 'But it's hard to believe that 11th is not a good finish. The system should somehow be weighted.'
And that's where the system is flawed.
Fred Funk was the butt of jokes for ducking a major championship to try to collect Ryder Cup points against junior varsity competition at the B.C. Open. What irritated his peers was that third place at the B.C. Open was equivalent to seventh place at the British Open.
Funk tied for 40th at the B.C. Open, so it didn't matter. A week later in Milwaukee (another weak field), Funk tied for second and earned 85 points. That's more than what Chris Riley got for a tie for second at Torrey Pines, one of the stronger tournaments on the schedule.
The PGA of America gives double points for the majors, which it should. But it does not distinguish between The Players Championship and the Reno-Tahoe Open, between the World Golf Championship and an opposite-field tournament like Tucson.
'We have not taken a position to rank individual tournaments,' Awtrey said. 'What we do is say that the strongest fields are the majors, and we double those points. Those events we know produce the best players in the world.'
Except that the Masters is watered down with aging champions, the U.S. and British Open has its share of amateurs and qualifiers, and the PGA Championship has 25 club pros.
The PGA of America awarded bonus points to the World Series of Golf in 1977 - in fact, the winner at Firestone that year automatically made the Ryder Cup team. Extra points were given to The Players Championship in 1985. Why that is no longer the case is baffling.
What the PGA of America should consider is the system used for Europe.
Half of the European team is decided by world ranking points - not how high players are ranked, but the raw points they earn at every tournament. The points are not deducted every 13 weeks, not does it matter how often guys play. The number of points is determined by strength of field.
There isn't much difference in points between ninth and 11th, nor should there be.
Using that format, the U.S. standings would have the same seven guys at the top with some minor juggling.
The change comes at the bottom. Funk (No. 8) and Jeff Maggert (No. 10) would drop out of the top 15, while DiMarco would be ninth, followed by Verplank. Jerry Kelly would remain 11th, with MCI champion Stewart Cink rising from 19th to 12th.
It would not be a radical change, but an equitable one given the current climate on the PGA Tour.
'They ought to look at the system,' Faxon said. 'Nobody has ever really questioned it.'
Maybe they should. Because the way the Ryder Cup has gone the last two decades, the Americans need all the help they can get.

My Thai
Thai Peanut Bowl
The advantage of cooking Thai food at home is that you can control the amount of oil and sodium. Americans make the mistake of assuming that eating out at Asian restaurants is healthy. Quite the contrary! You should consider these dinners a splurge unless, of course, you order steamed vegetables and a dipping sauce on the side. THAT is the only way to insure you are eating a reasonable amount of calories with low fat content.
Remember, you aren't in China, Japan, Vietnam or Thailand– you're in America where Asian restaurants have "Americanized" the menu. That means huge portions, too much oil, and mega sodium! Read more
"Ladles"- Sweet Potato and Cabbage Soup
Welcome to "Ladles", an ongoing series of healthy soups, stewps and gumbos!
A year ago my son gave me the Moosewood Restaurant cookbook, Simple Suppers, for Christmas. This recipe originated from this cookbook with a few tweaks and additions.
I urge you to try it even if you aren't a huge fan of sweet potatoes or cabbage. This Indonesian flavored soup is savory (garlic and ginger root!), slightly spicy (cayenne!), bizarre (peanut butter!) and creamy (there's NO cream!). Serve as a fancy shmancy fine dining course OR at halftime of the Super Bowl to sober up the crowd. Your guests will think they're dreamin'!
Don't be ashamed to lick your spoon- I did!
Sweet Potato and Cabbage Soup
"Ladles"- Lentil and Sausage Gumbo
Welcome to "Ladles", an ongoing series of healthy soups, stewps and gumbos!
Hearty soups feed the soul. Cheating is encouraged! Nobody cares if you chopped all fresh, organic vegetables or threw in a generic brand of frozen peas and carrots.
Comfort food doesn't have to be mac and cheese or mashed potatoes. Protein doesn't have to be a slab of meat. One pot to wash and leftovers that taste even better the next day!
Lentil and Sausage Gumbo (animal friendly, of course)

They're friends to the end.
The family of an Australian woman killed in Tuesday's East River helicopter crash called the pilot a hero yesterday, even as federal investigators have focused their probe on his actions before and during the flight.
"The pilot, Paul Dudley, is a family friend who acted with great bravery in the rescue," said a statement released by Sonia Marra's father and sisters.
Marra, who was in town celebrating her 40th birthday, died trying to escape from the helicopter as it sank into the river.
"Sonia was loving her first experience of New York, the city and its people," the statement said.
"She was incredibly happy to be here, and it gives us some comfort to remember that.
"We are a strong family, and will cope with our loss in our own way."
Her father, Paul Nicholson, 71, her mom Harriet, 60, and her partner, Helen Tamaki, 43, all survived the crash.
Tamaki and Harriet Nicholson remained in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital yesterday as Paul Nicholson kept up a bedside vigil.
The statement offered "a heartfelt thank you" to their rescuers, who they said acted with "great courage." They also thanked Bellevue staff.
"We have all felt protected and cared for in a way we will never forget," they said.
Marra and the Nicholsons are British nationals. Marra lived with Tamaki, a New Zealander, in Sydney, Australia, where she was a well-known restaurateur.
The family came to New York to celebrate Marra's 40th birthday. Tuesday's flight was supposed to be a quick sightseeing tour past the Empire State Building.
Afterward, Dudley and his friends planned to go out to dinner.
But tragedy struck just after Dudley's chopper, a 1976 Bell 206B, took off from the East 34th Street Heliport.
Dudley lost control as the chopper spun around and turned at a 45-degree angle.
The craft flipped over as it slammed into the East River.
After the craft hit the surface, Dudley managed to unbuckle the seat harnesses worn by Tamaki and Harriet Nicholson, his lawyer told reporters.
But Dudley couldn't get to Marra in time. He yelled to rescuers that she was trapped inside — but they couldn't reach her in time.
After the chopper sank, she unbuckled her harness and tried desperately to escape, rescuers said.
They found her inside the chopper cabin.
National Transportation Safety Board probers have wrapped up their investigation at the crash scene, and expect to issue a preliminary finding on the cause of the tragedy next week.
Dudley, who was convicted of burglary in 1980 — and got his first pilot license six years later — faces scrutiny of his flight record, which includes a 2006 emergency landing in a Brooklyn park.
The chopper has been trucked to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, where it was parked yesterday on a wheeled pallet. Probers say so far they have found no signs of engine failure, as Dudley had claimed.
A veteran copter pilot suggested the chopper might have been close to its payload limit of about 1,500 pounds.

Q: How do I disable COM add-ins in Microsoft Outlook 2007?
A: Sometimes you need to disable the COM add-ins that are installed with Outlook 2007. For example, when you're trying to troubleshoot problems such as poor performance, slow shutdown, or even application failure (i.e., crashes), it's best to eliminate variables. After a crash or hang, Outlook might display a dialog box, such as the one that Figure 1 shows, informing you that a specific add-in is causing problems.
Some add-ins don't activate until the user tries close the application. An example is the Personal Folders Backup add-in, which prompts the user to back up PST files before closing Outlook. (Ironically, someone developed an add-in that helps Outlook shut down more efficiently. For more information, see http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/olshutdown/index.shtml.)
Disabling COM add-ins prevents them from starting when Outlook starts the next time, which brings Outlook closer to its basic installation and thus allows more control in troubleshooting. The add-ins remain disabled until you re-enable them.
Outlook 2007 has a command-line switch called /noextensions that lets Outlook open without any add-ins. Although the add-ins aren't disabled in this case, they aren't loaded with Outlook.
In some cases you know that a specific installed COM add-in (whether from a third party or developed inhouse) is causing problems for your Outlook users. You need to disable such add-ins immediately, until you can find a fix.
In Outlook 2007, you can access add-in management in the new Trust Center, under the Tools menu. Figure 2 shows the Add-in page with several popular add-ins installed, including Acrobat, SnagIt, Xobni, and IntraVNews. Unfortunately, this interface isn't as intuitive as it could be. The columns in the main Add-ins pane, entitled Name, Location, and Type, aren't adjustable in width. You can stretch the main window itself to expose the content in the columns, which is especially useful for the Location column. Although you can select an add-in listed in the main window, to make changes to an add-in you must select COM Add-ins from the drop-down box in the Manage section at the bottom of the pane, then click Go. The window that Figure 3 shows will open, allowing selection and deselection of available COM add-ins—which essentially enables or disables the add-ins. Note that clicking the Remove button in Figure 3 will remove the add-in from the list without a warning. Making changes to some add-ins takes effect immediately, whereas an Outlook restart is required for changes to other add-ins.
Outlook might also identify an add-in as problematic and disable it automatically. To view disabled items, as Figure 4 shows, go to the Trust Center's Add-ins window and select Disabled Items next to the Manage option, then click Go.
You can also enable or disable add-ins through the registry. If Outlook crashes when you try to disable add-ins through the Trust Center, you must use the registry. When a developer creates a COM add-in, the add-in can be registered for all users or just the current user. Outlook add-ins are located in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins registry subkey and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins registry subkey. The individual available add-ins are listed in the Addins subkeys. Within each Add-ins subkey is a property called LoadBehavior. This property has two possible values: 2 to disable or disconnect the add-in and 3 to enable the add-in. Figure 5 shows this registry value for the OutlookSpy add-in, which is currently disabled.
If you've pushed an add-in out to your Outlook clients but the add-in is creating problems, you'll need to disable it. Because you can disable add-ins through the registry, you can distribute the change through Group Policy Objects (GPOs), a logon script, or another management and distribution mechanism. You can also enable or disable COM add-ins programmatically, through the GenerateOfficeAddInManifest.LoadBehavior property. For information about this process, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.tools.office.buildtasks.generateofficeaddinmanifest.loadbehavior.aspx.

Began working at LETU in 1985
God has been so gracious to me! I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior when I was in the 7th grade. His grace has been evident all through my life. I have certainly done nothing to deserve the many good things He has given me and allowed me to do. In the twenty plus years I have been a faculty member at LETU, I have seen God work in amazing ways.
When we think of God's blessing, we naturally think of all of the wonderful changes that have occurred on our campus with new buildings and a growing student enrollment. The real blessing of God, and what really gives me the greatest joy, is to see how He works in the lives of our students. One of my LeTourneau College professors, Roger Carr, once said that our students "are the wind in our sails."

(KTVI) - Reach for the sky! Security officers at Heathrow Airport in London confiscated a toy gun from a "Toy Story" Woody doll.
The cowboy doll was apparently a terror risk. Agents examined Woody because it was holding a miniature six-shooter. The doll was given back, but the tiny firearm was confiscated.
Woody dolls are not normally sold with a gun so its unclear where the weapon originated.
You may remember back in December, a TSA agent at Lambert Airport also confiscated a tiny toy gun. It was part of a sock monkey's costume.
Back then, the TSA said, "under long-standing aircraft security policy, and out of an abundance of caution, realistic replicas of firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags."

There are currently great hopes for solid-state batteries. They contain no liquid parts that could leak or catch fire. For this reason, they do not require cooling and are considered to be much safer, more reliable, and longer lasting than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Jülich scientists have now introduced a new concept that allows currents up to ten times greater during charging and discharging than previously described in the literature. The improvement was achieved by a "clever" choice of materials with a focus on consistently good compatibility. All components were made from phosphate compounds, which are well matched both chemically and mechanically.
The low current is considered one of the biggest hurdles in the development of solid-state batteries. It is the reason why the batteries take a relatively long...

Gilda Blaker was about to sell her Fort Lauderdale beach motel in June 1985 when she got an unexpected tax bill in the mail.
The $685 bill, the result of a court-ordered 1980 tax reassessment of all Broward County property, confused Blaker, a resident of Sunrise.
After all, Blaker said, she didn`t own the property in 1980. And she wasn`t going to keep it for much longer.
``I was upset,`` she said. ``I shouldn`t be paying taxes for something I didn`t own.``
A court ruling says otherwise.
The 4th District Court of Appeal, in West Palm Beach, had ruled that 1980 property assessments in Broward were too low and that people who owned the land at the time of the ruling should pay the back taxes.
Blaker got in touch with Mary Dusenbery of Fort Lauderdale, the former motel owner, who refused to pay the taxes. Blaker paid the $685, and sold the beach motel at 501 Breaker Ave.
To try to recover the tax money, she filed a lawsuit, thought to be the first of its kind to come to trial in Broward County. The case is scheduled to be heard Wednesday at the West Satellite Courthouse in Lauderhill.
Dusenbery said, ``I don`t feel it is my responsibility because I wasn`t even contacted to pay the taxes by the county.``
Though the facts of this case may be unusually complicated, its significance is not, said County Court Judge Steven G. Shutter, who will preside over the suit.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the use of the drug lenalidomide has on study participants and their multiple myeloma, and to compare this with patients that receive no therapy. Currently, the accepted treatment for asymptomatic myeloma is to receive no therapy. However, not all patients with asymptomatic (smoldering) myeloma have the same outcome. There are 3 groups of patients as identified by the Mayo clinic group that have different predicted outcomes. Because the 3 groups can have very long delays between the identification of smoldering myeloma and the requirement for treatment, not all patients are eligible for this study. Only patients with "high-risk" smoldering myeloma are considered eligible for this study as these are all patients whose risk of developing myeloma that requires therapy is the highest.
Lenalidomide is a drug that has shown benefit and is approved for use in patients whose myeloma has been resistant to other therapies. The mechanism by which lenalidomide works in myeloma is still unclear, but it is felt that the drug works by making the study participant's own immune system (the body's natural defense against disease) work better against the myeloma cells. It may also have additional direct effects on the myeloma cells. Though lenalidomide is an approved drug for symptomatic myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome (diseases of blood and bone), it is experimental for the asymptomatic patients who will participate in this study.
