One game does not make a seasonJanuary 20, 2013, by
Well, the Rangers lost last night. Not only did they lose, but they looked awful in the process. They were rusty, sluggish, sloppy, and looked like they needed another week of training camp. They took bad penalties, and missed defensive zone coverages more often than I can count. The only good thing is that Henrik Lundqvist looked to be in midseason form.
But around the interwebs, there was much panic about that game. After all, the Rangers did not look like a team that should be competing for a Stanley Cup. In a short season, the Rangers cannot afford to lose any games, so this one loss in the season opener crippled their playoff chances. That's what a lot of people are talking about.
Part of that sentiment is true: The Rangers can ill afford to have an extended losing streak to start the season. Instead of the 82 game marathon, we have a 48 game hybrid between a sprint and a marathon. Teams can overcome three game losing streaks over the course of an 82 game season. It is much more difficult to make up those points when the season is almost cut in half.
There were some positives last night, so let's focus on those heading into tonight's game against the Penguins:
- Lundqvist looked phenomenal.
- The powerplay had great puck movement, although they lacked shots on net.
- The penalty kill was pretty solid as well.
- Yes, Marc Staal missed his assignment on the first goal, and Anton Stralman's bad pass led to the second goal, but the defense played a decent game considering they were playing a man down (Stu Bickel played five minutes).
- Ryan Callahan showed, in a small sample size, that he can hold his own on powerplay face offs. He won two of three.
- We saw the save of the year in the first game of the year:

I certainly realize it's after only just one game, but the fact remains, that even though we now have not one but 2 pure, elite scorers on this team, namely Gabby and Nash, the underlying root-cause problem STILL is you gotta a guy behind the bench who INSISTS that they all block shots, for example. My point is, JT is the only coach I have ever witnessed who year after head-scratching year emphatically goes against the winning notion that "you go with a player's strengths," and tries to change players' games way too much. If he simply lets those two plus Richie – and even DZ to a certain extent – free-wheel more at even strength and esp on the PP (UGH!), we'd see a heckuva lot more scoring out of them overall. No question! I mean, did you SEE some of those moves Nash made last night?! That guy has incredible innate talent, for sure.
Now, I'm all for guys like Boyle and Cally playing solid D up front and blocking shots – sans a Chara one – but damn, JT would be screaming at Gretz or Lemieux or Jagr to back check, for goodness sakes! Can u imagine any of those three ever being "allowed" to hang out at the red-line under JT?! LOL! Even Bossy had Trots and Gillies to come back for him. That's why they call it a "line," but that's another story entirely.
To me, the "all 20 players will play the same robotic way" remains the fundamental flaw here. You need variety to confuse the opposition. And while this team will STILL go deep once again regardless – BECAUSE of Hank and IN SPITE OF its coaching staff – getting over that last hump may always be just out of reach if the "philosophy" stays the same. I hope to heck I'm wrong. We shall see…..
So they lost this game because they tried to block too many shots?
I said this last year and I will say it again, albeit I will cut the number of games in half – I refuse to have an opinion on this team until we are 5 games in! They looked sloppy. They looked like a team that had te shortest camp in league history. They looked like a team that was feeling out how to play with Nash, someone who will play more than 20 minutes every single night. Yes the Bruins were in the same situation but they looked like a team hopped up on adrenaline from their own opening night. Yes this is no excuse but give the guys a bit of a break. Lets watch them for a couple games then develop an opinion on this team.
First off Two of the goals that Hank let in were far from mid season form. He has got to stop letting in soft goals if he trully wants to take it to the next leval.
And once again even with a short camp this team looked unprepared. This is not what a team that drafts players with great leadership qualities should have. All we have been hearing is how good these players are suppose to be at leadership and how they take their training. And way too many times they come out flat or lost.
Now getting back to the coach. No blocking shots did not stop us from winning this game. But it did hamper our counter attack. It takes players out of position way too often hence why we get pinned in our own end WAY TOO MUCH. And aslo wears the lines down way to much. Who cares how many elite goal scorers a team has if they are sucking wind before they get in the Off zone.
Kreider looks lost because he isnt use to playing this way. And many others didnt do all that much as well.
Also another thing about Torts. Why the hell is he not working on getting another D man if he isnt going to use Bickel. This is getting real old.
Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with a lot of your opinions, I will say that you probably have the most honest name out of anyone who regularly posts here.
The Rangers got Nash but they lost a lot of depth and character.I think Pyatt will be a good addition and a line of Boyle, Callahan and Pyatt would make a formidable checking line. Kreider should be paired with Stephan and Torts needs to be patient with him as he will come around. The defence played ok, but Gilroy should be in the line up in place of Bickle when the Rangers play against fast teams like the Penquins. I like Bickles' moxy but he needs to work on his skating. Shot blocking is a part of hockey and the least shots at Hank the less big saves he has to make.
My biggest issue that the team's weaknesses from last year were NOT addressed at all.
We still struggle on faceoffs, breakouts are bad, and only 5 D see the light of day.
My biggest issue is…I have no issues. It was one friggan game. You guys want to off the most winningest US born coach in the history of the game because of one loss? Gaborik has scored how many goals under JT's watch? And how many shots has he actually blocked? Haha
Here's a TAMPON autographed by Torts for all you biatches!
Go Rangers!
I've cheered for this team since the 60s. I get it, it is only one game and there's little to predict a season from, BUT, there are still ominous signs and recipes for failure:
1) Bickel, who would die for the rangers, immediately got in a fight and dominated the guy after Rupp got his butt kicked but still gets less that 6 minutes of ice time. It is the first game of the season for crying out loud. Really, after DG and MCD were so obviously out of gas towards the end of the playoffs. Why does he get less than 6 minutes? Add Stralman's less than 14 minutes and our D will be toast at the end of the year, even with the shortened season.
2) Pathetic Play: MDZ is no quaterback – Richie is great at the blue line but you need a defensemen QB on the power play and there hasn't been one since #2 got uncerimonously kicked to the curb and sent to the Bruins. JT had 7 months to figue this out after being the coach of a horrific pp.
3) JT. Yeah, he won 1 Cup but his myopic vision and unrelenting insistence on favoring some players and dog housing others, thereby hoding players to different standards will, in my opinion, be partially responsible for him never bringing the cup to NY
I have followed this team since the 50s and I've noticed after a win there is half as many comments on these posts. Where do all you whiners go?
I sick of reading these posts about losing Prust.i for one was worried about too many changes.i see getting Nash that's not the issue.all I hear is its gonna take a lot of players on this team to replace what Prust brought to the team.if he was that important why not give him the extra money.i personally think we should have kept him Feds and Mitchell and not mess with to much chemistry.i know everyone's gonna tell me about the money and if you reads the posts torts makes it sound like he was worth all the money in the world.well than you should have paid him.thats all I'm saying is I hope it wasn't to many changes.
A bad opening night by all accounts. But, short prep time, guys recovering from flu and new line combos…surely all of these things just need some time. Short season or not, we've only just begun.
First off constructive criticism. IS NOT whining… These forums are not just here to kiss people's azzes.
When someone sees a flaw they have every right to talk about them. And this team no matter how many wins they had last year has many flaws.
What people arent talking about on here is that for every close win we had last year We could have been talking about a close loss. And that doesnt cut it. Why must this team be built so that every game is a nail biter?
This coach is not a great coach yes he got the job done in Tampa. But he has alot of the same going for him that OUR STANLEY CUP winning coach did. And that is his style wears thin or wears out hockey teams.
Mike Keenan also only won ONE Stanley Cup. When all the right pieces were put in place. This team we have today has Three potential allstars on Def. An Allstar goalie. and two Allstar forwards. So things should not be as hard as they sometimes seem to be. Yes folks I know its one game and players are not in shape or in a grove yet. But like I have said and others have said. Most of what was missing last night was missing all of last year.
Sacking a coach after one game isn't constructive, its irrational.

John M. Clum was born August 19, 1953 in Lyons, NY, the son of two Pentecostal ministers. Early in his childhood there were signs of his creativity, but circumstances were not conducive to allowing this part of him to emerge. At the age of 16 he left the loving but strict supervision of his family in Syracuse, NY, and moved into a commune in Boston, MA. Learning of life's diversity and alternatives firsthand at an early age, he opened himself to many different religious beliefs and alternative lifestyles. He returned to Syracuse to finish High School and graduated in 1971. It was a restless time, full of enriching life experiences resulting in the resolution of major issues. In 1979 he met a wonderful man named Alan Robbins, who would...

Dulverton is a town and civil Parish in the heart of West Somerset, England, near the border with Devon. It is situated within the Exmoor National Park.
It is still an unspoiled English country town with its medieval bridge it is Exmoor's southern gateway and lies in the beautiful valley of the River Barle.
There is a good choice of shops, inns and eating places in the narrow streets and is a charming country town with many attractions for the angler, the artist and those who enjoy walking in the countryside
The Headquarters (Exmoor House, built in 1855) of Exmoor Park Authority is located here, housed in the old Dulverton Union Workhouse.
The National Park Visitor Centre and Library are based in the former ironmonger's shop in the main square opposite the town hall. Live theater, craft markets and many special events make Dulverton a popular center with visitors. This has a medieval bridge, old-fashioned country shops, and population of only 1,300 people, it still has a quiet rural charm.
The name Dulverton was first recorded in 1084 as dieglaford-tun meaning "hidden ford"-tun. The Domesday Book records it as Dolvertune and suggesting that it was a royal manor before the Norman Conquest. The town lies below the iron age hill-forts of Oldberry Castle, Mounsey Castle and Brewer's Castle.

Lost Horizons #34, 2009, mixed media collage and acrylic on Arches paper, 44″ x 30″ sheet
Vibrant beauty in L.A. artist Merion Estes' 'Lost Horizons'
By Leah Ollman
January 15, 2017
Merion Estes' collaged paintings on paper at CB1 invoke a tower of Babel in two dimensions: Within them, multiple visual languages are spoken at once.
In each of the dozen works from the "Lost Horizons" series (2007-2011), the L.A.-based Estes mobilizes an exuberance of means, toggling between representation, abstraction, pattern and ornament. One mode of address, one manner of engaging surface and space abuts another, all of them feeding into a vibrant, dissonant beauty.
Natural references abound here — mountains, moons and rivers, as well as birds, fish and butterflies — but there is no overt note of lamentation or protest over the forsaken pastoral. The works contain a lively friction that comes from unlike elements rubbing against one another, not from allusions to environmental threat. A large new collaged painting on canvas that renders visual the hot mess of climate change practically makes the temperature rise in the separate room where it hangs, but the "Lost Horizons" pieces are largely mild delights.
Cooling Trend, 2016, acrylic, spray paint and fabric collage on canvas, 86″ x 111″
Reproduction of the same Chinese landscape painting appears throughout the series — repeated, cut, stacked. In one tightly calibrated delicacy ("Lost Horizons #37"), the falling water in that printed/painted scene is echoed in irregular patches of decorative marbling, and those fluid striations are distilled further in the work's hem, a fringe of dripped white paint on a dark band along the bottom edge. The whole reads as a meditation on flow, simultaneously translated into various graphic idioms.
Another, "#47," is all resonance, buzz and rhyme. Here, the appropriated landscape is flipped and mirrored. A few lavender rice paper moons hover about, and across all runs a gorgeous grill of gold and black blurred streaks. Estes borrows and blends toward an aesthetic of richly textured, restless sensuality.

SPC takes integrated approach to regional issues
Noumea, New Caledonia — Government representatives from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's (SPC) 26 member countries are met in Noumea last week to discuss new approaches to addressing overlapping regional challenges, such as ensuring food security, preventing non-communicable diseases and adapting to climate change.
Drawing on its 65 years of experience across some 20 sectors, SPC is advocating a consolidated, multi-disciplinary approach to the big problems of the day.
Climate change, for example, is projected to increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters, and impact infrastructure, transport, marine ecosystems, agricultural food production and health, as well as access to safe drinking water, says SPC Director-General Dr Jimmie Rodgers.
"In the next ten to fifteen years, more than one million Pacific Islanders are likely to die from non-communicable diseases, equivalent to ten per cent of today's Pacific population. No other cause of death will come close. Add communicable diseases and the picture is even more serious, presenting a dilemma on where investment is best directed to save lives.
Addressing these challenges requires commitment from everyone, through effective partnerships and greater multi-sectoral collaboration using a "many partners, one team approach". Whole of government and whole of society approaches are key to achieving sustainable, long-term solutions," he adds.
This multi-disciplinary approach is at the heart of discussions at the annual meeting of SPC's governing body, the Committee of Representatives of Governments and Administrations, (CRGA) which takes place this week, 12 – 16 November, in Noumea.
The meeting brings together representatives from 22 Pacific Island countries and territories and the four metropolitan founding members — Australia, France, New Zealand and the United States of America — that make up SPC's membership.
Representatives from regional and international development agencies and partners are also attending the meeting. France is chairing the meeting this year and Kiribati is vice-chair, in accordance with the CRGA rules.
For more information, please contact: Rajan Sami, Press Officer for CRGA (email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
Background information
SPC is a Pacific-based international intergovernmental organization that assists Pacific Islands countries and territories by delivering a wide range of technical, research, educational and planning services. It has 26 members comprising 22 Pacific Islands countries and territories and four metropolitan members, Australia, France, New Zealand and the United States of America.
CRGA is a committee of SPC's governing body, the Conference of the Pacific Community, which meets every two years. In years that the Conference does not meet, CRGA is empowered to make decisions on SPC's work program and governance issues.
This annual event allows representatives of SPC's 26 member countries to meet, exchange ideas and make decisions about the future of the organization.
The 42nd session of CRGA will focus on strengthening relations across SPC's divisions, the organization's new strategic plan for the 2013–2017 period, and its response to the recommendations made by the recent independent external review.

House GOP leader Adam Hasner called on Gov. Charlie Crist to apologize for his remark toward the Legislature at a Jacksonville campaign stop where he said "Who's running the asylum?"
"His comments were completely inappropriate and I think he should apologize ... to Speaker Cretul and President Atwater," Hasner said Tuesday. He said the governor is taking part in the "politics of personal destruction" that he often laments.
The Democrats -- content to
watch the GOP blast each other -- didn't agree. "I think Charlie probably

NatureMill's Indoor Composter Is Here!
Several months ago, we were excited to find this indoor composter from NatureMill. Though it sparked some spirited debate about the relative merits of electric, indoor composters, we discovered, sadly, that this model was just a prototype. Well, indoor composters, the agonizing wait is over! Order one today, and chances are you'll be composting by the end of next week -- they ship in 5-7 business days. To review the specs: it'll take up to 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of organic matter per day, which will take care of most families of five. The onboard computer controls the mixing and air flow, brewing up delicious compost about every two weeks without funky compost odors or having to hand-turn the mixture. When the red light comes on, your compost is good to go. It recycles it's weight in waste every ten days, which adds up to over two tons of landfill waste saved over it's lifetime. And, it only uses 10 watts of power, which NatureMill claims is less than the garbage truck would burn in diesel fuel to haul the same waste. There are a lot more fun facts on the joys of composting available at their website, where, if you have US $399, you can now buy one. Thanks to Nancy for the tip! ::NatureMill

Bowling Green's Ryland Ward (15) and Aaron Foster tumble over Akron wide receiver Tyrell Goodman (81) after he caught a touchdown pass in the end zone Saturday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
BOWLING GREEN -- Bowling Green State University sophomore safety Ryland Ward was named Mid-American Conference East Division defensive player of the week, the league announced today.
The Columbus native had five tackles, four of which were solo stops, in the Falcons' 24-10 victory at Akron Saturday. Ward also made a key play in the second quarter, forcing a Zips running back to fumble on a play that began at BG's 3-yard line with the Falcons already trailing 7-0. Bowling Green recovered the fumble to stop a potential score.
Ward and the rest of the BG defense limited the Zips, which entered the game leading the MAC in both points per game (38.6) and total offense per contest (492.4 yards per game) to just 10 points and 316 yards, including just 36 net yards in a scoreless second half.
Ward is the second Falcon to win the defensive honor this season. Senior defensive tackle Chris Jones won the award after BG's games against Florida and Idaho.

'Peepli Live' redux: Waiting for Talwars outside Dasna Jail

Published: 13th October 2017 01:28 PM | Last Updated: 13th October 2017 01:45 PM | A+A A-
By Bunty Tyagi Dasna (UP), Oct 13 (PTI) A large crowd of mediapersons camped outside Dasna Jail from early morning today, keeping a close watch on every movement in and out of the high-security prison that had housed Rajesh and Nupur Talwar for four years.
The crowds, including curious onlookers, grew as the day progressed, everybody waiting for the Talwars to walk out of jail and back into the unrelenting media spotlight.
The Allahabad High Court yesterday acquitted them in the 2008 murders of their daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj, leaving the question, whodunit.
As the sensational murder case, which continues to remain a mystery, dominated television news and newspaper headlines once again, the media descended outside the jail hoping to capture every moment of their release -- and any bits of information about their life inside jail.
Several broadcast journalists, both from national and local media houses, were seen sending live feed for transmission, hanging on to every small detail and tracking every movement. Their counterparts in the print media, meanwhile, took notes and relayed 'newsy' details over the phone.
Journalists could be seen running after those who had come to meet their relatives inside the jail, seeking to get details about what was going on inside.
"We have not received the court order as yet. We will release them once we get it," Dasna Jail Superintendent Dadhiram Maurya told reporters.
A senior jail official added that Nupur Talwar performed dental check-up of fellow inmates.
In a scene reminiscent of the film "Peepli Live", local onlookers added to the crowds swarming outside the jail complex.
Extra security personnel was deployed around the jail, about 12 km from Ghaziabad town near the Indian capital.
The sensational 2008 double murder case had captured the imagination of the country and, after the dentist couple's acquittal yesterday, the media glare is back.
The Talwars have been lodged in Dasna jail since November 2013 in connection with the double murder. The Allahabad High Court in its verdict said that neither the circumstances nor the evidence was enough to hold them guilty.
Aarushi Talwar was found dead in her bedroom in the Talwars' Noida home on May 16, 2008. Hemraj's body was found the next day from his room in the terrace. PTI BUN KND MIN .

PASADENA, Calif. --Disturbing new video of a melee at the Rose Bowl, where two fans were stabbed and two police officers were injured Saturday.Home video shot by a UCLA student shows a man with what looks like a knife being restrained in the crowd. As he's being detained, another fight breaks out.
Close to 40 people were involved in the brawl before Saturday's USC-UCLA football game.
At one point, you can see an officer using what looks like pepper spray.
Pasadena police received a call about 4:20 p.m. about a fight in Parking Lot 1 where USC and UCLA fans were tailgating before the game began.
During an investigation, they found two men with stab wounds, who were said to be in fair condition after being treated at a local hospital.
During the fight, 24-year-old Vimal Patel was stabbed in the back, and 27-year-old Joshua Dirling was stabbed in the face.
Two officers suffered minor injuries.
Three people were arrested, one on attempted murder charges.

I would highly recommend this product."

-Rich Petrillo - Montalbano Inc, New York, USA

Biomimetics (biomimicry) is a term first coined by Janine M. Benyus, an author and scientific observer from the American state of Montana. The term was later assessed and put into practice by many others. Literally meaning "the imitation of living organisms in nature", this scientific field has been mentioned rather frequently, especially lately, in the world of technology and has significantly broadened people's horizons. For example, according to recent studies featured on the December 2016 issue of Interface Focus journal, the flying robots called "Drones", in other terms, unmanned aerial vehicles, are designed via inspiration received from nature.
International news website based in New York – USA, Rescue News, published Harun Yahya's article "From Which Creatures Do Drones Draw Inspiration?" on February 28th 2017. You may read the article at the below links.

I'm happy to have traveled to Atlanta today to attend WordCamp ATL, a two-day gathering of WordPress professionals designed to educate, connect, and share experiences. My employer was a sponsor of the event, and it was a great opportunity for me to visit my old stomping grounds, talk to customers, and learn about what's going on in the WordPress community.
I thought it'd be fun to touch on a few of the highlights and themes from day one of the event.
Path to Success
Easily the most common theme of day one was enabling success. The majority of attendees of WordCamp ATL are trying to build sustainable businesses designing and building websites for their customers. Atlanta has produced quite a few successful WordPress businesses running the gamut from individual freelancer to large agencies and everything in between, and many of them are speakers.
In my conversations with attendees, a common refrain has been "how do I create success for my clients, and therefore for my business." The day kicked off with Troy Dean's keynote about building his seven-figure business on top of WordPress, and he tackled this question head-on, encouraging the audience to build their business on "authenticity, congruence, and intention," not just a quest for money. He summarized his talk with a quote:
You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.
Zig Ziglar
Other talks focused on effective marketing, messaging, and packaging to build successful WordPress businesses. But, success isn't just about creating success for your clients, its also about creating success for yourself, which leads me into the next key theme for the day:
Process, Automation, and Time to Publish
Entrepreneurs face many challenges on the road to success, and the biggest one may be the sheer volume of work to do. Time is the most precious resource of an entrepreneur, and many of my conversations with attendees on day one focused on making the best use of limited time.
For designers just getting started, I heard about page building plugins like WP Beaver Builder and leveraging premium themes to get from proposal to client delivery as quickly as possible. Genesis and Underscores came up more than once, as did many theme vendors. In the early days of a designer's business, they'll be attracting customers with very limited budgets, and being able to whip out a website rapidly is critical.
Once a designer moves to the next phase of their business, their attention turns to automation and process. There were several talks about standardizing your workflow to reduce wasted time, and there was also a great talk about leveraging automation to optimize your business by David Laietta of Orange Blossom Media. David covered using platforms like IFTTT in concert with services like MailChimp, Slack, and Trello to fully automate everything from proposals, to contracts, to client requests to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. David will be launching a site called Bear Hacks in the coming days which focuses on automation, and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Design is Still King
Finally, I'm very pleased to see that good design is still a fundamental topic of conversation and focus in the WordPress community. There were excellent talks on typography, responsive design, and design best practices. A room full of smart, technically-minded creatives is one of the most enjoyable places for me to spend a weekend, so it was great to see that design is still a focus.
I'm looking forward to what tomorrow holds, and I'll try and post a followup if I can grab some time.

Microsoft and Accenture are partnering on a blockchain-powered digital-identification prototype as part of a public-private initiative that seeks to bring identity services to the 1.1 billion people around the world who lack any form of ID.
The prototype — which uses Accenture's capabilities in blockchain and large-scale biometric systems and runs on the Microsoft Azure cloud system — was unveiled Monday at the ID2020 Summit at the United Nations building in New York.
The prototype does not store any personally identifiable information, instead tapping into existing "off-chain" systems when individual users grant access, the companies said.
Banks have become deeply involved in digital-identity efforts. USAA, BBVA Compass, Capital One Financial, Deutsche Bank and other financial institutions have launched digital-identity projects.
"People without a documented identity suffer by being excluded from modern society," David Treat, a managing director in Accenture's global blockchain business, said in a news release. "Our prototype is personal, private and portable, empowering individuals to access and share appropriate information when convenient and without the worry of using or losing paper documentation."


text: Memories: A tribute to Bill Veeck fills the Diamond Vision scoreboard before Monday`s opener at Comiskey Park, and its architect says the three-minute video is as vibrant as Veeck himself. ``I was lucky enough to have met the man once,`` says Jeff Szynal, the 24-year-old technical director for the Sox scoreboard, ``and I thought he was a credit not only to Chicago but to the world.`` To make the scoreboard remembrance, Szynal foraged White Sox archives and found footage of Bill in the park, in the press box and in the stands. He also included tape of Veeck with the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns, and he accompanied the piece with the musical theme from ``St. Elmo`s Fire.`` ``I didn`t want to have a depressing song, because he was such a positive man and because it`s Opening Day and it`s joyous,`` Szynal said. The last frame in the presentation focuses on a huge banner hanging in Comiskey that fans had emblazoned with the words ``Two Chicago Giants.`` On one side they put a picture of the Sears Tower. On the other, a picture of Veeck.

July 28, 2016
The Chinese government is exploring plans that would lift the ban on mobile payments using QR codes, according to published reports. Two years ago, the People's Bank of China suspended the use of QR codes by third-party payment systems like Alibaba and Tenpay. Now, however, the central bank has authorized the China Payment and Clearing Association to develop standards around the technology that will enable purchases by scanning a QR barcode using a mobile device. While QR codes are mainly used at the point of sale, any payments made using the technology are considered card-not-present payments.
In 2014, the Chinese government cited concerns around the security of personal information transmitted during QR transactions as a rationale for prohibiting their use. Payments experts said the ban most likely was an effort to protect China UnionPay, the state run payment card association and interbank network operator.

Chinese helmer Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster "Back to 1942" will world preem as a surprise competition movie at the Rome Film Festival.
The historical drama about a devastating famine in the Henan province has an all-star Chinese cast, and also features Adrien Brody as a journo and Tim Robbins as a Catholic priest stationed in China during the war against Japan.
Feng's recent hits include romantic comedy "If You Are the One" and earthquake drama "Aftershock," which grossed $100,000 million in China and was the first major pic co-produced by Imax outside the U.S.
Like "Aftershock," "Back to 1942" is produced by China's Huayi Bros., which is looking to make this pic travel internationally.
Fest will also announce a second surprise title. The seventh edition of the nine-day fest, the first headed by Marco Mueller, opens on Friday.

Welcome to my blog! I'm so pleased that you're taking the time to explore this site.
My name is Miguel Spence, a 30-something introvert who has a lot to say about a subject that is very close to my heart: mental health. There is so much social stigma attached to conditions like introversion, depression, and anxiety—that you're weak, incapable, dysfunctional, and so much more. The worse thing about it is that mental health is something rarely talked about on the internet and social media, except when we hear news about suicides and what pushed the victims from taking their own lives.
As a mental health advocate, I created this blog to serve as an online platform for the voiceless people who need to be heard. The Quiet Life is also meant as a helpful online resource for people who are quietly suffering from different mental and emotional problems. I am no expert when it comes to diagnosis and treatments, but this blog can provide the support system that you may need when you're struggling with your mental health. My background in sociology and clinical psychology has strengthened my resolve in making more people aware about their mental well-being.

A quarter or two ago my son Andy took a rather unique course at the University of Washington. In his Math 480b: Programming for the Working Mathematician course, Andy learned about a number of important topics including the Unix command line, Python programming (including classes, exceptions and decorators). In the second half of the quarter they learned about the Sage open source math system.
The course ended by teaching the students how to make a genuine contribution to Sage. They were asked to find an open bug, figure out how to fix it, fix it, and to create and submit a patch. In essence, they learned a very practical skill that is taught all too rarely in school — how to be a contributor to an open source project. This is pretty significant. Despite the presence of the word "open", I have come to learn that many people don't understand the actual workings of the process. Walking the students through it, and having them make an actual contribution, will ensure that they leave school with this knowledge under their belt. With any luck it will be easier for them to find jobs and they'll be more useful and more productive once they start.
Exposing the students to the source code also conveys the message that they have the ability to modify (and hopefully improve) their tools. In the COM 546 class that I am taking this quarter, we discussed the fact that a lot of modern hardware cannot even be opened up (apparently, the newest iPhones are held together using screws that have a proprietary head). While certainly fine if you want to treat your phone as an appliance, this closed model doesn't encourage customization or hacking. It certainly is not in accord with the Maker's Bill of Rights.
I watched Andy put Sage through its paces and thought that it looked kind of cool. While I am no mathematician, I could definitely appreciate what it was able to do. Andy pointed me at a blog post written by his professor, and I was intrigued. After finding himself "fundamentally dependent on a closed source non-free program in order to continue my own research," his professor (William Stein) decided (by coincidence, on the same day that he learned about the GPL) to design the language that would eventually become Sage. The full story is in the aforementioned blog post and is interesting (but far too long to summarize here).
Andy spent about four days getting the Sage code to build on his Acer netbook. At the time I didn't even realize what a feat this was. For his final project, Andy and his team-mates used Sage to solve something called the Ham Sandwich problem. They documented their work here.
Sage is a very rich and very powerful tool. It includes a large number of powerful packages in the standard distribution, along with a smaller set of optional packages. It has a nice Ajax-powered notebook user interface (you can also access it from a shell prompt). Sage also runs a number of other math packages as child processes and presents a unified interface to them.
Earlier this month I was asked to teach cloud computing workshop at Stanford University. I was told that the students would be from the Applied Math and Computer Science departments. Even though I knew that they used MATLAB, I thought that it would be fun to build Sage and to show them what an open source math tool looked like. Binary versions of Sage are readily available, but I wanted to see what it would take to build it from scratch.
I launched one of the more powerful EC2 instances (a High Memory Quadruple Extra Large) with the 64-bit Amazon Linux AMI. I logged in to the instance and installed a few packages based on the information in the Sage Installation Guide. I installed gcc, gcc-gfortran, gcc-c++, make, m4, perl, tar, readline, and readline-devel.
Then I downloaded the source distribution and captured some pre-build facts. The source tree contained 150 files and consumed about 350 MB of disk space. I also captured the system process count from /proc/stat.
I set the MAKE environment variable to "-j8″ since the EC2 instance had 8 cores and typed "time make." I watched the build tree run configure again and again, and saw it compiling a ton of code in rapid-fire fashion. The load average never went above 4; there was just not that much parallel building to be done.
75 minutes later, the build was complete. The tree had grown to a staggering 2.5 GB and now contained 84,802 files! Even more interesting, the build process had used 397,484 processes.
I launched Sage from my shell, and typed a command to start the notebook user interface:
sudo ./sage -n port=80 interface='' requirelogin=False openviewer=False
And that was it. I opened up my browser, copied the EC2 instance's Public DNS name, and pasted it into the address bar, and opened up the administrator page. Here's what it looked like after I created a couple of notebooks:
I opened up my notebook:
Then I did some simple calculations (my math skills are so rusty it is a wonder that I don't have Tetanus):
I also drew a cool graph using some of the Sage sample code:
I have this fantasy of actually using Sage to re-learn math, starting from the very basics (Calculus or Algebra II), but there's no time for that right now.
All in all, I find Sage to be more than impressive. The build process was remarkably clean for such a huge package, especially one that included code from so many different projects.
Just for fun, I also built Sage on an EC2 "small" instance. With MAKE set to "-j2″, this build took 343 minutes, or nearly six hours.
I know that members of the Sage team are interested in building it on EC2 and I hope that they find this post. If you are on the team and would like to pick up where I left off, let's talk. You can get access to Amazon EC2 through the AWS in Education program.

Film Buff and I are sailing along nicely. Almost suspiciously nicely. We've settled into a seeing-each-other-every-six-days rota which is twice my typical desired amount and yet… I find myself actually wanting to speak to him in between dates. And since I'm following a book that lets me do whatever I want whenever I want so long as I look decent and hold down a job, the possibilities are endless. I can ask him out as much as I damn well please. But I don't have to because he does the asking before me.
He is also consistently early to meet me so that when I walk into the bar he is always waiting for me with a gin and tonic. He is one of the few men who seems to have mastered the art of the two-sided conversation; he is both a great story teller and a great story receiver. And the other night, he took me to see Casablanca on the big screen. Unprompted. Because he really likes the film, not because he was trying to score chick points.
Essentially, so far he is exactly what I thought a man should be when I was 16 (before I met actual men and had to curb my expectations somewhat).
The thing is, while I'm certainly enjoying my rule-free freedom at the moment (well, rule-free other than the rules dictating that I must be fabulous, thin and well-groomed) I am noticing a direct increase in my (I'm sure charmingly) neurotic emails to friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances asking for advice on how to handle each and every situation. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I should cancel my Saturday night date with the TV Guy so I can see Film Buff instead (sorry, I know the media nicknames are getting slightly absurd. In fact, if it's okay with you I'm going to change Film Buff's name to Geordie, if only because I'm sick of typing the word Buff). If I was following a more structured book, it would solve the dilemma for me. Instead, I'm seeking out council from everyone and anyone, hoping someone will give me the response I'm looking for (and that changes on a moment by moment basis as well).
I always thought that women who relied on these dating guides were silly and self-obsessed and slaves to social mores but now that I'm seeing myself unchained after a few months of rule-following… well, the word "unhinged" springs to mind with relative ease.
For the first time, I can really see the appeal of these books. They provide comfort and structure in the uncertain and often bizarre world of dating. The advice might not always be right (and in some cases might be downright insane) but it's from an impartial and seemingly-authoritative source. And they have probably saved the frayed nerves of many a friend.
So, left to my own devices and the devices of the twenty three people I've consulted thus far, I've decided to stick with the Saturday date with TV Guy and see the Geordie on Sunday. At least I think that's what I've decided.
Maybe not.
I don't know.

Happy weekend! xoxo
{shop} new @ j.crew
More lovely new arrivals at J.Crew! Also, sweaters are 20% off right now, so it's a good time to buy!
{click on images for links}
LOVE this merino beaded boyfriend sweatshirt. You know I like that slouchy silhouette and I dig the beaded collar.
Um, this drapey sequin tee is awesome. Great colors and love the relaxed shape with the sparkly embellishment!
This lisette lace shift dress is lovely. You could wear it to work with a blazer, or out at night with some sparkly accessories.
These crinkle taffeta shorts are adorable. Love them with tights and a sweater.
I already bought this crystal chain-link necklace in dusty pink while I was in Boston. In the store they also had a really cool yellow color that I don't see online. In any case, it's a great necklace.
I love this emerald crystal cuff. It feels very deco and I am totally digging the bold proportions.
What are your favorite new arrivals?
{shop} skinny style
Love this online jewelry shop Skinny. They have really fun, funky pieces that are inexpensive and well made. I ordered a ring for my sister last year, and she loved it.
Here are some of my top picks from the site.
{click on images for links}
The Hexagon Cocktail Ring with "Ruby" Swarovski is really festive and fun!
Also love this "Turquoise" Oval Cabachon Ring.
So many great bangles!
This Elephant Compact "Locket" Necklace is adorable.
Also, just got this discount code for Skinny that's good until December 1. 30% off when you enter "fall30off" at checkout.
Happy Shopping! xoxo
{shop} j.crew outerwear
Unfortunately, I am not in the market for a new coat. *sigh* But, if I was, there are some fabulous options at J.Crew, which are all 20% off right now! I love coats in shades of camel and grey. They always look elegant.
{click on images for links}
LOVE this 50's inspired wool-cashmere capella coat. It'd be perfect with trim pants and flats.
I also really like this Italian wool blazecoat. The detailing is different and interesting, but not too trendy. I feel very strongly about this – never buy trendy coats. Coats are expensive and need to go with everything in your wardrobe. It's too limiting to buy something crazy, plus, you'll be sad you spent the money when you hate it next winter.
LOVE this stadium-cloth peacoat with gold buttons. The perfect little peacoat.
Happy Weekend! xoxo
{wear} shawl collar cardigans
Now that the weather has gotten crisp, I am craving a nice cozy shawl collar cardigan to curl up in. Here are some great options:
{click on images for links}
I think this ribbed open shawl-collar cardigan at J.Crew is lovely. Super soft wool/cashmere sounds perfect.
There are some really cute versions at Talbots. I really like the cable no close cardigan and the shawl collar cardigan.
This T by Alexander Wang Jersey Batting Shawl Cardigan is long and lightweight. It looks super comfy.
Gap has a great, affordable basic version.
I think the DKNY Cozy is the ultimate comfy open cardigan. Plus you can style in it a million different ways.

{bake} pumpkin pie
My dad is visiting us for a couple days, and since he is a huge pumpkin pie fan (as am I), I decided to try this Martha recipe for Pumpkin Pie with Press-In Shortbread Crust. It was delicious! We all liked the contrast of the crunchy, slightly salty shortbread to the creamy pumpkin filling. The recipe is really easy too. Definitely a must try!
Makes one 9-inch pie.
- 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Stir together butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in yolk. Add flour and salt, and stir until mixture is dry and crumbly. Press dough into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, just until crust turns golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool in dish on a wire rack.
- Make filling.
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Press-In Shortbread Pie Crust
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together pumpkin, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and eggs in a large bowl. Pour filling into prepared piecrust.
- Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until filling is just set and slightly puffed but still a bit wobbly, 65 to 70 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours. (Pie can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.) Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.

{shop} new @ kate spade
So I know I just did a Kate Spade post, but my sister and I were oohing and ahhing over so many of the new arrivals in the Newbury Street store, that I feel like i have to do another one!
{click on images for links}
Broome Street Jeans = yes please! Kate Spade jeans! These are super dark and skinny. They also have fun pink stitching when you turn up the cuff. Love these.
Frosted Felt Market Tote. We were dying over this one. Felt is so right for fall/winter and this lovely grey is perfect.
This sweet patent karolina comes in strawberry and aqua and is a great pastel pop for the cool weather.
Also really loving the velvet chime shoe in black and wine. Perfect for holiday parties.
The crystal confection ring is a perfect cocktail ring.
And as big fans of the gumdrop stud, we really liked this lever back version.
{shop} decorative tape
I love decorative tape. It's such a fun accent on packages, letters, and craft projects. I look for any excuse to use some.
There are some lovely options over at nonesuch things. I especially love the jewel and polka dot tapes.
LOVE Japanese masking tape. The colors are gorgeous. Sold here on Etsy.
There are tons of patterns and colors available from happy tape.
The stripes and tapestry designs are fantastic.
sweet {cupcakes} boston
I was in Boston over the long weekend visiting my sister, and we stumbled upon Sweet Cupcakes on Newbury Street while we were out shopping. So, of course we had to try some! The cupcakes were awesome and we also really liked their lovely pale pink/chocolate brown color scheme.
We tried (from left to right) dark chocolate, caramel brownie, sweet cake, and pumpkin pie.
The frosting at Sweet is DELICIOUS. They even sell 'shots' of it. We also really liked how they used sprinkles. I have never met a dessert that wasn't improved by the addition of sprinkles.
The sweet cake was our favorite. Light and fluffy vanilla cake with creamy, sweet chocolate frosting.

Geothermal Power from Dry Wells
E.E. Michaelides, A. Davis
University of Texas at San Antonio, US
Keywords: dry wells, geothermal, double pipe
Abstract:A numerical simulation for the determination of geothermal power production from abandoned oil wells by injecting and retrieving a secondary fluid was performed. The analysis takes into consideration local geothermal gradients and typical well depths and pipe diameters. Isobutane is chosen as the secondary fluid, which is injected in the well at moderate pressures and allowed to heat up and produce vapor. The computational model that was developed takes into account mass, energy, and momentum conservation equations for the well flow, and the simulation helps determine the state of the fluid from injection to retrieval. It is observed that the operation of such systems attains a maximum power that depends on the temperature of the well bottom and the injection pressure. In general, 2-3 MW of electric power may be produced from wells that are typical in the South Texas region.

Letter: SB243 isn't 'voluntary'
2 bits Cottonwood Heights, UTMarch 7, 2014 11:28 a.m.
Sounds like Utah politicians are trying an end-around on this one... using the utility companies as their IRS. They are afraid to propose real taxes (only hidden taxes).
Irony Guy Bountiful, UtahMarch 7, 2014 10:37 a.m.
This bill will funnel lots of money from naive Utah taxpayers into a black hole. There's no guidance whatever in the bill about what the money is to be used for. Who do these legislators think they are fooling?
george of the jungle goshen, UTMarch 7, 2014 9:33 a.m.
Passing a law about how much snow should fall won't make it happen.
liberal larry salt lake City, utahMarch 7, 2014 8:05 a.m.
I think Sen. Adams needs to man up and just use Utah tax revenues to fund solutions to our horrible air quality.
No one is asking for voluntary donations to Utah's 1.1 billion dollar transportation maintenance budget, or our 3.6 billion dollar educational spending bill.
Open Minded Mormon Everett, 00March 7, 2014 7:24 a.m.
Let's ensure that air quality initiatives will have real impact. SB243 is not the answer.
Claire Geddes
The letter writer doesn't like taxes,
and doesn't like UTA.

Isn't this kind of how Mitt Romney raised revenue without raising "taxes" while he was governor of Massachusetts? Call it a tax or a user fee or whatever, it's still money out of my pocket. The best part for legislators is, it's essentially out of sight, out of mind.
I bet most people don't realize they are already paying municipal taxes through their utility bills. It's called a franchise fee.
