May 1957 – Buddy Holly & The Crickets originally record "Not Fade Away" in Clovis, New Mexico
January 1964 – The Rolling Stones record their cover of "Not Fade Away in London, England
May 2013 – Mick Jagger and Keith Richards receive identical "Not Fade Away" guitars from The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation in Los Angeles, California
Maria Elena Holly and the Board of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation are thrilled to announce that original Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richard accepted delivery of two custom-built "Not Fade Away" guitars on behalf of the Foundation before their concert in Anaheim, California last week. The Foundation wants to gratefully thank TBHEF Ambassador Waddy Watchel for arranging this momentous occasion.
"Not Fade Away" was a big hit for The Rolling Stones and the "A" side of Stones' first US single. When they covered it in 1964, it was a little known Buddy Holly song, but the Stones astutely understood its potential and recorded their brilliant version. Their cover, as well as others by legendary artists such as The Byrds, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, the Grateful Dead and others, have turned the song into a timeless classic, and it is now universally accepted as a truly great Buddy Holly composition, proving that Buddy's magical music legacy will Not Fade Away!
The Foundation is proud to welcome Mick and Keith, and honored that they have accepted these two guitars and acknowledged the important influence Buddy's music had had on both of them. The "Not Fade Away" Guitars are replicas of Buddy's original guitar and leather case and were built by Foundation luthier Howard Klepper.
A special section on TBHEF website detailing the event and saluting Mick and Keith will be following soon, so please keep viewing our site at regular intervals, as we are always updating the site with interesting Buddy Holly-related news.

It can make computerized changes for better altitudes, room temperatures and also other factors. This creates more precision in the course of the baking method and can make bread like it came from a bakery.
Thefinished bread has an even crust colour. The machine also has a micro-processor which makes changes in the cooking course of action resulting in exceptional bread constantly even if temperatures, altitudes and other conditions fluctuate.

Then Allow the machine do every one of the kneading, mounting and baking for yourself. You end up with freshly baked bread without substances or preservatives, for your family to enjoy.
This handsome block was performed in by its condition—a tippy, top rated-significant quarter-circle that wasn't tall or wide more than enough to maintain the blades of a few knives from poking out.
The Panasonic SD YD250 Bread Makerhas been awarded The great housekeeping Seal of Approval. The device stands out since it will give you the choice of creating 3 diverse dimension loafs and it's an automated yeast dispenser, which assures the yeast is extra at the right time in the course of the kneading and mounting course of action.
The control panel offers you the primary clue as to its capabilities, supplying you with 10 diverse preset applications and a few crust selections. However, that's just scratching the area; Considerably of this breadmaker's authentic electric power is only disclosed on further more investigation.
Comments: This is the second smallest machine we tested but we have been impressed it could nevertheless make a 1kg loaf. Good black look, crystal clear Recommendations, a range of functions and fantastic baking benefits – it ticked each of the containers.
Hold off Starts off. Quite a few bread makers present my site you with a hold off start off. This allows you to include the elements, but not begin the bread creating immediately. You are able to established the timer for that conclude in the day i was reading this or perhaps for being completed first thing in the morning.
Pre-ProgrammedSettings. Each individual bread maker will likely have a variety of breads it's meant to bake. This can be the most important aspect for buyers. Realizing what All your family members enjoys and what breads you intend to make could be a determining element regarding which bread maker is right for you.
Bread makers have a quite simple design and style with a few simple parts. There exists an oven (motor and heating elements), a bread pan and also a kneading paddle.
The maker is rather convenient to use and includes a recipe e-book with above 50 analyzed recipes For brand new homeowners to try out. Making bread hasn't been much easier. Some buyers comment that the machine is not really particularly peaceful and you can listen to the machine once the kneading process is going down.
You can also find settings for fast breads, jams, European artisan breads, and a setting that should put together dough. Dough can then be utilized to make bagels, pretzels or other breads which may be fashioned and baked within the oven. For breads that will need nuts and fruit added later on from the cycle, There exists a aspect that may prompt you so as to add these components prior to the closing bake.
I've been employing a bread machine For many years now, and enjoy the length of time it will save on kneading dough. With little young children and frequent interruptions, getting a good time to spend thirty+ minutes with my palms immersed in sticky bread dough is just not straightforward.
Be forewarned, reviewers report that the handbook for this model has some faults, so recipes may possibly should be tweaked to get the best results.

According to ESPN.com, Brett Favre has officially filed his reinstatement letter with the league office. All the weeks — and months — of speculation have reached a culmination. What it means is once Favre is officially reinstated, which could occur on Wednesday, the Packers will be forced to take action. If they don't trade or release him, he'll have the right to report to training camp and the Packers can't keep him away.
This is a Bears blog, but topics like this are too juicy to pass up. For those of you who don't know my official stance, I side with Brett Favre over the Green Bay Packers organization in this ongoing drama. He has the right to play football and the Packers would be stupid not to take him back.
I understand that Favre retired and the organization had to move on. But, the fact remains that Favre still gives the Packers a better chance to win than Aaron Rodgers does. And for a team that went to the NFC Championship game last year, you'd think they'd want to give it another crack with Favre at the helm.
By general manager Ted Thompson saying that the organization is ready to move on with Rodgers, he's actually insinuating one of two things:
- That he truly believes Rodgers gives the team a better chance of winning than Favre (which would be career suicide on Thompson's part, proving that he's an ignoramus).
- That the team is in rebuilding mode (which would incite an uproar in Packer Nation because the team is not rebuilding).
As you can see, either option does not bode well for Thompson and the Packers organization, so they need to either bring Favre back and let him earn the starting job — which he'll do by week two of the preseason — or they need to grant Favre the release that he's asked for or trade him to a team he finds acceptable.

Globalisation reduces electoral turnout
Between 1970 and 2007, the average industrialized democracy experienced a decline in electoral turnout of almost 9 percentage points. To the extent that politicians pander to the demands of those who actually turn out, this trend risks redefining the relationship (or lack of it) between citizens and government.Read More »
Political Secularism, Religion and the State
Religion is intertwined with politics in every country in the world, though how this manifests is unique in each country. For example, in Germany – a state that still levies a religious tax for members of recognized religions – recent court cases addressed whether the government could regulate the ritual of circumcision for Jews and Muslims and whether it could ban the religious headwear of Muslim women. Much of the Muslim world is in a state of civil war over the role religion should play in government and which interpretation of Islam should be dominant.Read More »

Classic Cornell University Press Books Available Open Access on Project MUSE
Project MUSE, in collaboration with Cornell University Press, offers the digital, fully-open-access availability of 20 classic titles from the Press' distinguished catalog, on the Project MUSE platform. Funded via a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities' (NEH) Humanities Open Book Program, the out-of-print titles – none previously available electronically – were carefully selected with input from subject specialists at the Cornell University Library for their enduring scholarly impact.
Cornell University Library and Press staff began the process of selecting twenty books to be digitized with the NEH grant by examining over two decades of the library's circulation statistics for influential Press titles which are currently out-of-print. Scholars and subject specialists in selected fields were then asked to evaluate the list of prospective titles using both this quantitative data and their own knowledge of research and teaching needs in their specialty areas, to choose those books of greatest continuing interest and relevance. Read the original announcement here.

The 20 titles now available on MUSE:
- Bread and Circuses: Theories of Mass Culture as Social Decay, by Patrick Brantlinger (1983) - Brantlinger analyzes many of the most influential and representative theories of mass culture that have treated it as either a symptom or a cause of social decadence, ranging widely from Greek and Roman origins, through Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Ortega y Gasset, T. S. Eliot, and the theorists of the Frankfurt Institute, down to Marshall McLuhan and Daniel Bell. While not defending mass culture in its present form, Brantlinger argues that the view of culture implicit in negative classicism obscures the question of how the media can best be used to help achieve freedom and enlightenment on a truly democratic basis.
- Building a National Literature: The Case of Germany, 1830–1870, by Peter Uwe Hohendahl, translated by Renate Baron Franciscono (1989) - Hohendahl examines important elements in the making of a national literature, including the political and literary public sphere, the theory and practice of literary criticism, and the emergence of academic criticism as literary history.
- By Honor Bound: State and Society in Early Modern Russia, by Nancy Shields Kollmann (1999) - In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.
- Chaucer and the Poets: An Essay on Troilus and Criseyde, by Winthrop Wetherbee (1984) - In this sensitive reading of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Winthrop Wetherbee redefines the nature of Chaucer's poetic vision. Using as a starting point Chaucer's profound admiration for the achievement of Dante and the classical poets, Wetherbee sees the Troilus as much more than a courtly treatment of an event in ancient history—it is, he asserts, a major statement about the poetic tradition from which it emerges.
- Clarissa's Ciphers: Meaning and Disruption in Richardson's Clarissa, by Terry Castle (1982) - Terry Castle delineates the ways in which, in a world where only voice carries authority, Clarissa is repeatedly silenced, both metaphorically and literally. Drawing on feminist criticism and hermeneutic theory, Castles examines the question of authority in the novel. By tracing the patterns of abuse and exploitation that occur when meanings are arbitrarily and violently imposed, she explores the sexual politics of reading.
- The Electrification of Russia, 1880–1926, by Jonathan Coopersmith (1992) - The first full account of the widespread adoption of electricity in Russia, from the beginning in the 1880s to its early years as a state technology under Soviet rule. Coopersmith's narrative of this crucial element in the modernization of Russia elucidates the deep-seated and chronic conflict between the utopianism of Soviet ideology and the reality of Soviet politics and economics.
- Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America, by Aby M. Warburg, translated by Michael P. Steinberg (1995) - Aby M. Warburg (1866–1929) is recognized not only as one of the century's preeminent art and Renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg's 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available in the first complete English translation, offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest.
- The Institution of Criticism, by Peter Uwe Hohendahl (1982) - Drawing on the tradition of the Frankfurt School and on Jürgen Habermas's concept of the public sphere, Hohendahl takes a close look at the social history of literary criticism in Germany since the eighteenth century, and sheds light on some of the important political and social forces that shape literature and culture. Including seven essays originally published in German, the book conveys the rich possibilities of the German perspective for those who employ American and French critical techniques and for students of contemporary critical theory.
- Literary Transcendentalism: Style and Vision in the American Renaissance, by Lawrence Buell (1973)
- Nabokov: The Mystery of Literary Structures, by Leona Toker (1989) - According to Toker, most previous critics stressed either Nabokov's concern with form or the humanistic side of his works, but rarely if ever the two together. In sensitive and revealing readings of ten novels, Toker demonstrates that the need to reconcile the human element with aesthetic or metaphysical pursuits is a constant theme of Nabokov's and that the tension between technique and content is itself a key to his fiction.
- Proletarian Peasants: The Revolution of 1905 in Russia's Southwest, by Robert Edelman (1987) - Edelman's subject is the peasantry of the right-bank Ukraine, and he uses local and regional archives seldom available to Western scholars to give a detailed picture of the ways in which the inhabitants of one of Russia's most advanced agrarian regions expressed their discontent during the years 1905–1907. By the 1890s, the landlords of Russia's Southwest had organized a highly successful capitalist form of agriculture, and Edelman demonstrates that their peasants responded to these dramatic economic changes by adopting many of the forms of political and social behavior generally associated with urban proletarians.
- Reappraisals: Shifting Alignments in Postwar Critical Theory, by Peter Uwe Hohendahl (1991) - A provocative account of the development of modern critical theory in Germany and the United States. Hohendahl interprets and subjects to critical scrutiny many of the central ideas of the Frankfurt School.
- Research Guide to the Russian and Soviet Censuses, by Ralph S. Clem (1986) - A volume in the series Studies in Soviet History and Society, this book is both a guide to the use of and a detailed index to the Russian census of 1897 and the Soviet censuses of 1926, 1959, 1970, and 1979. The first part of the book consists of essays by specialists on the USSR dealing with the use of census materials and the availability of data for research on ethnicity and language, marriage and the family, education and literacy, migration and organization, age structure, and occupations. The second part, a comprehensive index for all the published census, presents more than six hundred annotated entries for the census tables, a keyword index that enables researchers to find census data by subject, and a list of political-administrative units covered in each census.
- Revolution of the Mind: Higher Learning among the Bolsheviks, 1918–1929, by Michael David-Fox (1997) - Using archival materials never previously accessible to Western scholars, Michael David-Fox analyzes Bolshevik Party educational and research initiatives in higher learning after 1917. His fresh consideration of the era of the New Economic Policy and cultural politics after the Revolution explains how new communist institutions rose to parallel and rival conventional higher learning from the Academy of Sciences to the universities.
- Revolutionary Acts: Amateur Theater and the Soviet State, 1917-1938, by Lynn Mally (2000) - Mally reconstructs the history of the amateur stage in Soviet Russia from 1917 to the height of the Stalinist purges. Her book illustrates in fascinating detail how Soviet culture was transformed during the new regime's first two decades in power. Of all the arts, theater had a special appeal for mass audiences in Russia, and with the coming of the revolution it took on an important role in the dissemination of the new socialist culture.
- Rewolucja: Russian Poland, 1904–1907, by Robert E. Blobaum (1995) - The revolution of 1905 in the Russian-ruled Kingdom of Poland marked the consolidation of major new influences on the political scene. As he examines the emergence of a mass political culture in Poland, Robert E. Blobaum offers the first history in any Western language of this watershed period.
- Russian Formalism: A Metapoetics, by Peter Steiner (1984) - Examining Formalism in light of more recent developments in literary theory, Peter Steiner here offers the most comprehensive critique of Formalism to date. Steiner studies the work of the Formalists in terms of the major tropes that characterized their thought. Throughout, Steiner elucidates the basic principles of the Formalists and explores their contributions to the study of poetics, literary history, the theory of literary genre, and prosody. Russian Formalism is an authoritative introduction to the movement that was a major precursor of contemporary critical thought.
- Seductive Reasoning: Pluralism as the Problematic of Contemporary Literary Theory, by Ellen Rooney (1989) - A provocative look at contemporary Anglo-American literary theory, calling into question the critical consensus on pluralism's nature and its status in literary studies. Drawing on the insights of Marxist and feminist critical theory and on the works of Althusser, Derrida, and Foucault, Rooney reads the pluralist's invitation to join in a "dialogue" as a seductive gesture. Critics who respond find that they must seek to persuade all of their potential readers.
- The Self and Its Pleasures: Bataille, Lacan, and the History of the Decentered Subject, by Carolyn J. Dean (1992) - In this innovative cultural history, the author sheds light on the origins of poststructuralist thought, paying particular attention to the reinterpretation of the self by Jacques Lacan, Georges Bataille, and other French thinkers. Dean examines an array of evidence from medical texts and literary works alike. The Self and Its Pleasures offers a pathbreaking understanding of the boundaries between theory and history.
- Transfigured World: Walter Pater's Aesthetic Historicism, by Carolyn Williams (1989) - Exploring the intricacy and complexity of Walter Pater's prose, Transfigured World challenges traditional approaches to Pater and shows precise ways in which the form of his prose expresses its content. Carolyn Williams asserts that Pater's aestheticism and his historicism should be understood as dialectically interrelated critical strategies, inextricable from each other in practice.

Looking for a fight? Tarpon are willing to oblige and there continues to be a good flow along the Pinellas and Manatee County beaches. Large schools of migrating tarpon that we were able to sight-cast to will begin to thin. Singles, pairs and smaller bunches traveling along our gulf beaches will become the norm as they settle into their later-in-the-season pattern. Anchoring, chumming and letting them come to you becomes an affected method this time of year. While "blind" fishing, I like to add a live bait or two suspended beneath corks along with my presentation of dead shad fished on the bottom. Many tarpon have roamed well inside Tampa Bay. We jumped a half-dozen and let go a couple of monsters Thursday morning near Port Tampa, just north of the Gandy Bridge. Tides tend to run stronger in some of the cuts, channels and narrowed areas of the bay. On days of strong tidal flow, it might become necessary to add a crimp-on or rubber core sinker to help keep bottom baits in place. Around here, rarely do we consider targeting kingfish in July. For whatever reason, an extraordinary number of kings has lingered longer than usual. The furthest markers of the Egmont Channel have recently produced astonishing numbers.

Match report
5 SPL games, 5 losses ... thats the bottom line at the end of today's game as Caley Thistle made their worst ever start to a season. However, terrible though it is, today there were signs of hope.
For long periods of today's game Caley Thistle dominated Hibs and if it was not for some good goalkeeping from Ma-Kalambay, including a penalty save from Marius Niculae, the outcome may have been a lot different.
Both Niculae and Brewster had numerous chances but couldnt grab the goal that would cancel out Steven Fletcher's 2nd minute penalty.
9:30am and the Innes Bar Supporters Bus heads off down the A9 en route to Easter Road and Inverness Caley Thistles first SPL match with Brewster at the helm. After some initial discussion about events of the last couple of weeks and setting the world to rights on all matters regarding Brewsterâs appointment we got down to some discussion about the game ahead.
Would Brewster play himself? Was he right to play himself? - The general consensus seemed to be that it was a no-brainer and under any other circumstances then Brewster would be the first name on the team sheet. We'd have to wait till nearer kick-off to find out if we had called it right.
"CaleyD, what's on the radio"....."Nothing it's screwed". So here we are, heading off down the road and no music to keep us entertained, thinking caps had to go on. Themann4thejob was quick to spot the newspapers and decided we should do all the Saturday quizzes you get in these things. We ran through the TV Quiz with relative ease, and the Telly Addicts were quickly identified. OK, what now...it was TM4TJ again who decided to entertain us by reading out the Dear Deidre with the inclusion of the odd ad-lib and I barely managed to keep the bus on the road through laughing. The crossword was next, but this was abandoned as we crossed the Forth Road Bridge due to the bumps making it impossible to write (and nothing to do with us struggling to complete it).
We all arrived safely at Easter Road and were fortunate to find a great parking spot close to both the ground and The Iona Bar. Non-Alcoholic Beer for me, necking pints and shorts for the rest. News then came through that the team bus was late in arriving and the line-ups would be delayed as a result...then further news that it still wasn't here yet. We'd all decided that should the worst come to the worst then we'd have to put out a team made up of those present in the bar. Thankfully news came through very soon after that the team had arrived...and more importantly, that our collective wisdom 4 hours previous had called it right and Brewster would start for Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.
More drink (more Kaliber for me) and a flash of IHE's new tattoo and we were ready to head for the stadium. The walk from The Iona being perfectly timed and us arriving in our seats just as the teams were making their way on to the pitch.
Dennis Wyness had been dropped to the bench to make way for Brewster who was partnering Niculae up front. Probably a wise decision when you take into account all 6'6" of Rob Jones at the back for Hibs.
Grant Munro returned to the team after being out midweek with a back niggle and once again captained the team.
The referee had barely got the whistle away from his lips for the start of play when Caley Thistle launched their first attack which led to a corner within the first 20 seconds of the game. Then it all went a bit pear-shaped at the other end as we had to defend the first Hibs attack. As our defence worked to clear the ball from the box the ball was played against McCaffery who was deemed to have handled deliberately in the area. He had his back to us but it looked a very harsh decision and the spot kick was awarded.
Steven Fletcher stepped up and put the ball in the back of the net to make it Hibs 1 - 0 Inverness CT inside the 2 minute mark.
Caley Thistle were quick to compose themselves and get on with the game. It was on the 4 minute mark that Caley Thistle got their next corner. Barry Wilson played a ball in to the back post and, Hibs Keeper, Kalambay did well to tip it over. Another corner and shouts were going up for the old school rule of "3 Corners = a penalty". The forth corner of the match came in 7 minutes and Don Cowriesâ delivery was met in the centre of the box by a great shot from Brewster who was unlucky to put it straight at the keeper.
The Caley Jags were dominating the game at this stage and were unlucky not to have scored from the next 3 attempts. Wilson had a shot which went straight to the keeper, followed by Brewster going wide left from the penalty area and Black having a chip taken by Kalambay - all before the 20 minute mark.
Fletcher then had one of Hibs few chances at the ICT goal when he headed over the bar.
We were really stringing some nice play together at this stage of the game and one attacking play by us saw about a dozen one touch passes strung together. It was the kind of play that deserved a better end product and you could have put the "Goal of the Season" stamp on it right there and then, but it wasn't to be.
Every one of the ICT players seemed to want a bit of the action as Cowie, Black and Niculae all had shots at goal with a weak Stevenson effort at the opposite end being the only reply. The ICT fans were missing out on much of the action in the first half but you can be sure they weren't complaining and everyone as in good spirits....that was raised through the roof on 35 minutes when Jones took Brewster down inside the box. Some justice for the soft penalty we had conceded at the other end. Niculae stepped up to the mark and after seeing his free-kick against Arbroath you would have bet your house on him putting it away. He struck the ball solid, however it was a little to straight and all 6'7" of Kalambay was put to good use as the ball clipped his trailing foot and went high over the bar.
Both teams were to have a further 2 corner kicks before the half-time whistle but neither could capitalise. Michael Fraser did have one decent attempt at goal to save but he covered it well and punched it wide. Inverness go in at the break a goal down which was hard to bare when you consider how much they had dominated in the first half.
Opinion among the ICT fans during the break was that if this had been boxing match then the referee would have stopped it long ago as Hibs were struggling to offer up anything. Confidence was high though and if we continued where we had left off in the second half then surely we would get our just rewards.
Continue where they left of they did. Barry Wilson was the first to have a go at goal but shot high over the bar.
8 minutes in and Niculae was dealt a harsh blow. Need to see the replay but from where I was sitting it looked like a Hibs player bundled him over in the box. It looked like a strong claim for a penalty, but the referee pulled out a yellow for Niculae - I can only think that he must have thought he dived, but as the player was practically crawling over the top of him I can't for one second believe how he came to that conclusion.
Stuart McCaffery had earlier been replaced by loan signing Phil McGuire and Niculae came off with 15 minutes to go, being replaced by Dennis Wyness. With Niculae having received a knock to the head and being on a yellow card this was probably a sensible tactical move by Brewster.
We had been dominating the game for long spells and it wasn't long before Wyness was proving difficult for the Hibs defensive to deal with. A shot by Brewster which was set to go wide right was clipped by Dennis Wyness who almost succeeded in re-directing it into the postage stamp top corner.
The referee hadn't been too kind to us all afternoon and he again seemed to make a bizarre decision when flashing a yellow at Phil McGuire for a foul on Fletcher.
Mike Fraser who had been solid all day had one final save to make about 5 minutes from the end when he comfortably caught a shot from O'Brien. From here on in it was all Caley Thistle as the stepped up the pace and really pushed for the much deserved equaliser.
A volley by Cowie was saved by Kalambay whilst Wyness was struggling to keep the ball down and shot over the bar twice. Russell Duncan had the last real attempt on goal just inside injury time when he was unlucky not to have stuck the ball in the top corner from 25 yards out.
A small lapse in concentration in front of the ICT goal was the last of the excitement for the day. It was a hard loss to take when you look at how much of the game we controlled but the end product just couldn't be found and the players just weren't getting the breaks in front of the goal.
Every man on the pitch had given it 100% today, they knew it and the fans knew it. Instead of sliding off dejected they remained to clap and cheer the team off the pitch. I had commented on the forum last week that we had lost the team spirit and that we were more used to a team who held their head high - win, lose or draw - and that was back there again today for all to see and for the first time in a long time the players took the time to acknowledge the fans as they left the field...so spot on to the lads for that.
Everyone back to the battle bus and we had one extra body (no..not the ref). Kind of Blue was joining us for the return trip. We were quickly under way......too KFC, and then back on the road home.
TM4TJ had forgotten his 'Depends' and it wasn't long before I was receiving rather large hints that I may want to stop the bus at the next stop. In fact, these hints had started before we even reached the Forth Road Bridge. Thankfully the Toll Booth attendant couldn't count as I lied through my teeth about the number of seats on the bus in order to save a few sheckles and we were away again.
It wasn't long before Tm4TJ was becoming more annoying than a 4 yr old and trying to convince me that him needing to pee was an emergency and justifiable reason for stopping on the hard shoulder....lol. He had to wait till we reached the Perth Bypass.
We mulled over the days events, agreed that the whole team had a great performance and then had another crack at the crossword. That lasted a little while before the light made it impossible to continue...we were actually managing to answer some questions in this one. A brief pit-stop at Aviemore when I realised that the orange light that had been annoying me on the dash for the last 30 miles was the fuel light and then the last leg home.
A thoroughly enjoyable day had by all and even though we never put any points on the board it was obvious to everyone present that this is a team who are making progress. Roll on Celtic!!!

Sinagua Style Sky-Boxes [ 2:00 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Narrow ledges served as both pathways and playgrounds for the Sinagua people during their 100 year stay in Walnut Canyon. Walking to the neighbors on a starless night would have been quite an adventure as would have been managing a tottering toddler, but their homes, built into the recesses of Walnut Canyon's cliffs, provided both protection (from the elements, wildlife and enemies) as well as access to essential food and water. From their cave homes, the Sinaguas could monitor and prepare for approaching strangers. Yet directly above them was the flatter land of the canyon rim where they could grow beans, squash and drought-resistant corn and hunt deer. Six hundred feet below, Walnut Creek provided precious water for part of the year. Good water conservation and storage, supplemented by snow melt in the winter allowed the Sinaguas to live in relative comfort in the semi-arid climate.
The cramped cliff residences brought to mind primitive arena style sky-boxes -minus the plush seating and catered meals. Built by the Sinagua women from limestone rocks and gold clay, the walled cave homes were finished with a clay plaster. Situated to insulate, shelter and shade, the rooms had differing purposes. The larger rooms were most likely housing, and the many smaller rooms would have been used for storage. Children probably didn't need much prompting to "go outside and play" with such cramped living quarters.
Within 100 years of their arrival, the Sinaguas moved on, eventually integrating, it is thought, into the Hopi tribe. Why they left is addressed by theories ranging from the ecological to the religious. What they left behind is more tangible: it is essentially a cliff side memorial to the men, women and children who once made Walnut Canyon their home.

I have always had a thing for Maps and Globes. I actually used to be a Geography geek but now 20 years later could not even tell you where many of our states are. With four kiddos in the school system, luckily I am able to learn it all over again so there's hope for me yet.
Look how pretty they are, so many varieties and colors to choose from. Don't know why I have never really purchased one...until now.
I found this World Globe over at Goodwill for $2 and snatched it up. The base was broken and it wasn't in the best of shape but I had plans for it so no worries.
I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do but I did know that I wanted to paint it to be more of a decorative item instead of it just screaming "GLOBE".
Of course Pinterest has great inspiration so pin away...but be sure to pin from the original source please.
Which one do you like best?
My FAVE is this one from Pottery Barn with a SWEET price tag of $269!
via Pottery Barn
Well first I asked Ladybug to trace around all of the continents on freezer paper and then cut out the shapes.
She did a great job!
Okay so the black chalkboard inspiration won, maybe you guessed it from the title of my post!
For the next step I painted my entire globe with Krylon Black Chalkboard Paint.
Two coats and it worked like a charm.
I then taped the shapes back on to the Globe with painters tape
with numerous trips back to the world map on the computer for reference as best as I could.
I traced around the edges of my templates with a pencil and then filled it in with Chalk Markers (love those markers!)
It's not perfect, exact or completely accurate but I like the overall effect of it. Remember it's drawn with a chalk marker so can easily be changed at any time.
So glad that I finally executed an idea from my Kabillion inspiration pics that I have on my Pinterest Boards.
It sure didn't take very long. It was one of those projects that has me thinking, "why didn't I do it sooner"?
Hope you have a great week!
I hope it inspires you to make your own!

WASHINGTON — The White House will release a plan today to remove some of the obstacles that prevent middle-class Americans from getting energy audits and making their homes more energy-efficient.
America's nearly 130 million homes generate about 20 percent of the nation's emissions of carbon dioxide, the principal heat-trapping gas, says a report being released today by the White House Council on Environmental Quality and Vice President Joe Biden's Middle Class Task Force. McClatchy obtained an early copy.
Biden said the plan would add jobs that couldn't be outsourced and make it easier for families to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Installing more insulation and more energy-efficient doors, windows, lighting, water heaters, air conditioning and appliances can reduce energy use in a house by as much as 40 percent, meaning considerable monthly savings on utility bills.
The White House estimates weatherization also could lower greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 160 million metric tons annually by 2020, but one of the biggest hurdles to greater energy efficiency is cost.
Although energy-efficiency retrofits save money on energy bills, they can cost as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on how much work is needed. The new recommendations, which use existing federal funding, include ways to finance projects so homeowners will be more likely to undertake them.
The new program is intended to expand a national energy retrofit market beyond the $5 billion weatherization program for low-income households in this year's economic stimulus package. A family of four that earns less than $44,100 a year, or $55,140 in Alaska and $50,720 in Hawaii, can qualify for the low-income program.
The report suggests three ways to make financing for efficiency improvements more attractive:
* Add the cost of retrofits to a homeowner's property tax bill. If a house were sold, the buyer would continue to pay for the improvements through the tax bill. The costs would be spread over enough time so that the monthly payments generally would be lower than the savings on utility bills.
* Make energy-efficiency expenses part of the mortgage when a house is bought or refinanced. That program is already available, but the report said there have been "significant barriers" to widespread use. It suggests ways to overcome those barriers, such as making it easier to rate a house's energy performance.
* Expand state revolving loan funds, which help consumers borrow money for weatherization at lower interest rates. These funds are available now in 16 states, and the report recommends expanding them to the other 34.
The report also recommends improving information about weatherization.
For example, the federal government will develop an energy performance label for houses with efficiency upgrades that's similar to the Energy Star label for new houses, which makes it possible to estimate monthly energy costs.

The Heart of Gascony
Gascony refers to ancient territories in South-West France that ceased to exist after the French Revolution and cannot be found on modern day maps. The Duchy of Gascony was formed in 852 and joined with Aquitaine in 1036. It was subjected to English rule in the 12C for some 300 years and many Bastide and walled towns built during this time can still be seen today. Although the region of Gascony does not officially exist now, local people still proudly proclaim to be "Vrai Gascons".

Being a woman minister is a lonely world if ministry calls you to the pastorate in an area that is mostly rural and small towns. You don't fit in with the Pastor's groups because they are a boy's club, (even when they try not to be) and you don't fit in with their wives because most of them aren't co-pastoring, so their focus is not the same as yours is; they are teaching Sunday school and playing the piano and well some of us don't sing well enough to lead worship, nor do we play an instrument, teaching Sunday school is fine. Why is it assumed that it takes being male to teach the adult Sunday school class and that women should only be teaching the children? Honestly I have yet to see a woman Youth Pastor in the areas local to me, apparently it takes an xy chromosome pairing to be in charge of Youth Ministry as well. Scripture says in Romans 8:14 Amplified Bible (AMP) 14″ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." That would mean if I am led by the Spirit of God I am a son of God. Scripture also says in Galatians 3:28 Amplified Bible (AMP) "There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." If God sees no distinction now that I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord, Master and Savior why do men and woman feel the need to segregate the Body of Christ by the the same distinctions that the Apostle Paul told the Galatians no longer existed? We are constantly told not to pick and choose what we accept from the Bible throwing away what we do not. This is a topic that deserves study since it often dismisses an entire sector of the Body of Christ in way that in my opinion mirrors the use of the Burka in many Middle Eastern countries.
I am a Bible believing woman. I have no problem with the Bible or the Christian God, I do however take issue with people who call themselves Christian leaders and yet choose to ignore what disturbs them. In the spirit of education and stamping out ignorance I am posting a book pick on this topic that is the best I have ever read and I have read more than a few.
My book pick for this very hot topic is an easy to read but scholarly treatment of the subject available in English and Spanish at Christianbook.com, to make it easy I have linked the title, so just click on the title below 🙂 If you've read this book please leave me a comment with your opinion on the authors' point of view.

General Information about the Commencement Ceremony
Applying to Graduate
Mid-State is authorized by the Wisconsin Technical College System to grant associate degrees and technical diplomas. The graduation date is determined for an individual student by the completion date of all program requirements and the requirements listed below. To be eligible for a diploma or degree from Mid-State, a student must fulfill the following requirements to graduate:
- Apply and be accepted into the program from which the student intends to graduate.
- Satisfactorily complete all curriculum graduation requirements with a program GPA of 2.0 or above. Please note: Some programs may have additional GPA requirements. Students should contact their academic advisor for additional information.
- Satisfactory completion of 10-890-102 GPS for Student Success (beginning with 2017-2018 admission).
- Technical diploma students must complete a minimum of 25% of their program's occupational specific courses at Mid-State. Associate degree students must complete a minimum of 25% of their program's technical studies courses at Mid-State.
- Petition to graduate by using the graduation card or MyMSTC student online services prior to the graduation date on which the student intends to graduate.
- Students may participate in the May commencement if they are scheduled to complete coursework by the end of the summer session. If coursework goes beyond summer, they are eligible to participate in the following December commencement.
- Diplomas are mailed to the student's home address on file approximately four weeks after the semester ends or final grades are assigned, whichever is later. All college financial obligations must be met to receive a credential or transcript.
Graduating with Honors
Honor lists include students graduating from associate degree and technical diploma programs who have earned high academic levels as outlined below. Students graduating with honors are recognized with honor cords based on program GPA through the semester preceding the final semester. Final semester grades will be included in the program GPA calculation if course end dates occur prior to December 1 for the fall semester or May 1 for the spring semester.
The Office of Student Records will determine program GPA for all Mid-State graduates. A final program GPA will be determined and noted on the official transcript once all grades for the final semester have been submitted. Honor cords may be purchased at campus bookstores for a nominal fee:
Graduation with Distinction (Gold Cord): 3.75–4.00 GPA
Graduation with High Honors (Silver Cord): 3.50–3.74 GPA
Graduation with Honors (Bronze Cord): 3.25–3.49 GPA
Early Release for Employment
"Student early release" is a procedure whereby a potential graduate of one of Mid-State's programs may be permitted to terminate his/her attendance at Mid-State for employment, subject to the following conditions:
- Early release will be granted only if the employer requires the potential graduate to begin employment immediately. Students will be given early release only for full-time employment related to their training received at Mid-State.
- Early release, if granted, cannot exceed two weeks prior to the last day of the semester. Such time will not be counted as absences.
Graduation from a Mid-State Collaborative Program
Students who are participants in a Mid-State collaborative program with another technical college—where Mid-State is the primary owner of the program—will be allowed to transfer credits from the designated collaborating college and have those transfer credits and grades posted to their Mid-State transcript for calculation into their program GPA. Students participating in such a program and completing all program requirements toward graduation will be listed as a Mid-State graduate.
Follow-Up Studies of Graduates
Mid-State is required by the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) to perform graduate follow-up studies at intervals of one year and five years. Every five years the WTCS performs an employer follow-up survey to measure the employer satisfaction with WTCS graduates. This allows WTCS and Mid-State to maintain important statistics regarding graduate employment and placement.
Data is collected to provide information to prospective students, high school counselors, special interest groups, and the general public. In the six months following graduation from Mid-State, a data sheet and work history records will be mailed to each graduate to complete and to return to the college for the graduate follow-up study. Phone calls are placed to graduates who do not return the surveys. This is done in an effort to obtain the most accurate information possible.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 67376
i can't use my wheelmouse
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:43:35 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; {World Online})
Description of problem:
In Redhat Linux there is no""driver"for the wheelmouse. In version 6.2 there
was a imwheel -0.9.8-1. About this version there is a bug report about
security. Why is there no newer version ????
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.see bug rapport about imwheel i think its 2000-016
Actual Results: there is no save wheelmouse driver
Expected Results: I like to have support in redhat for my wheelmouse.
I hope you do.
Additional info:
imwheel is not, and has not been needed in XFree86 for wheel mice to work
properly in over 2 years, possibly even 3 years. Wheel mice work properly
out of the box as long as you have chosen the proper mouse protocol for
the mouse that you are using.
In particular, the "IMPS/2" protocol works with most mice. Try that.
However, since this is not really a bug, but rather more of a tech
support issue, and we do not offer technical support via bugzilla,
please consult one of our mailing lists if you require more detailed
assistance in using your wheel mouse.
Good luck.

Oysters will dominate the discussion during Thursday's Wildlife and Fisheries Commission meeting.
It's a prediction made without that expensive crystal ball purchased years ago when the sports staff picked weekly (sometimes weakly) college football games.
Whenever there are three "oyster" agenda items, it's easy to know oystermen will turn out in force.
Although Sabine Lake isn't on the agenda, another non-crystal ball prediction is that this ongoing battle will surface during the 3-4 hours that make up each of the LWFC's monthly meetings.
Here's why: Poor water quality kept Sabine Lake under federal and state closures for years. During that extended period, oysters flourished to the point where life cycles of this marine organism built a reef.
Mostly because it wasn't touched, this building reef became more than a reef. It became the only structure of its kind in the state and the South. Some marine biologists believe this vertically building reef might be the only one in the country, possibly in North America and the Western Hemisphere.
Coastal restoration advocates believe the miles-long reef has protected Sabine Lake so much so that it's the main reason the lake, in the state's southwestern corner, is free from the effects of coastal land-loss that had plagued the state's entire coast for the last 80 years.
Groups like the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, the National Wildlife Federation, CCA Louisiana, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and The Nature Conservancy have lined up to preserve this unique structure.
Now that the lake's water quality has improved to the point where federal and state sanctions have been lifted, oystermen see this structure as an untapped resource, one that can boost their ability to get oysters to the market.
The commercial oyster operations are fighting the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, too, but not for the same reasons as the conservation groups.
Louisiana shares Sabine Lake with Texas. After years of arguing, the two states hammered out an agreement to manage fish and other marine creatures in border lakes like Sabine, Toledo Bend and Cross Lake. The agreement takes effect Thursday. And it appears, Texas doesn't want anyone tinkering with Sabine Lake oysters.
There's another problem here that goes beyond conservation groups, oystermen and two state agencies.
Has anyone considered that the oysters, a filter feeder, have been a major factor in restoring the overall health of Sabine Lake?
Those many years of oysters dying built this reef, and those now-dead oysters paved the way for continued growth of their offspring, which filtered water and died, and bettered the environs for their offspring.
Maybe there are lessons to be learned from this now healthy, living organism.

Fight hordes of monsters trying to scale your Fortress walls.
Play Slice Fortress Defense 2
This is my second Flash game, and my first written without the Flash IDE. I used FlashDevelop and AS3 and for graphics I used Curvy 3D 2.0 a fast and easy sketch based modeller
Pause & Mute buttons are now included in v1.6
I deliberately balanced the game to last 70-80 or so levels – so you can just get the high cost units before you die. Would you prefer level 80 to equal a win & end game? In future I want to add multi levels and several difficulty modes as well as the current 'endless' mode.
v 1.7 – The game is now playing closer to how I imagined it. Oil slows down enemies, Swordsman locks enemies in combat, Blue mage shoots chain lightning with longer chains dealing more damage, red mage can multi-cast fireballs, Necromancer has a small chance of causing instant death – Enjoy!
Plus – You don't HAVE to collect hearts anymore – they auto-collect… but if you DO collect them you get the health a little sooner ;)Updatesv1.6 Added Pause and Mute buttons
v1.7 Added special abilities + new graphics to units, Hearts auto-gather.
v1.8 Fixed Infinite Slow&Stun
v1.9 Enemies resist Necro attacks
v1.91 Added HighScores

What Texture should I get?
It depends on the curl pattern of your hair or the one you prefer.
Don't worry if your hair doesn't match the clip ins precisely because you can use heat tools or twist outs to match your hair perfectly.
Please purchase our hair samples if you are unsure of which curl pattern will blend with your hair best.
Why is my payment not going through?
Note: If you have just moved. It can take a few days for your bank records to reflect this
Any further questions please contact us.
How do you wash the clip ins?
Make sure you wash the clip ins immediately after they arrive. It's best to wash them in two sections so it's a faster processes rather than washing them individually. Also make sure you wash them in a downwards direction and not rubbing them together otherwise they will tangle. It is important you wash the actual clips itself as they are likely to be the dirtiest because it's been in your hair.
How many packs should I get?
Each set comes with one bundle equating to 100g in total. However, we always recommend you go for at-least two bundles equating to 200g for a fuller look. Just add two bundles to your cart!
Can I sleep with the clip ins on?
Yes you can however, we recommend you take it out before going to bed to extend the life span of the hair. If you chose to sleep with them, make sure you wrap your hair with a silk based head scarf and loosen the clips to avoid tugging.
How often should I wash the hair?
It depends on how often you wear the hair. If you wear it every day then you should wash it at-least once every week. If you wear it less than that then every two weeks is fine. Do not leave dirt to pile up once you notice it's getting dirty wash it!
Which products can i use with this hair?
Any natural oil, argan oil, olive oil, coconut oil etc but it is recommended you only use a minimal amount so the hair doesn't become greasy and weigh down. Also it is best to apply product to the hair once the hair is completely dry. Hair is very low maintenance so wouldn't suggest you add too many products on it. Just as you use products for your natural hair, you can use the same to apply onto the hair extensions. It is good to also deep condition the hair once every month to keep the softness.
Do i use my African hair products on the hair?
Yes you can use African hair products as you would for your natural hair. You can also use products you normally use for your weaves. Any hair product works well with this hair. It is recommended you do not put too much product on the hair because it will weigh the hair down.
Can i dye or put heat to the hair?
Yes you can, its 100 % human hair. It's fine to straighten and curl the hair. However please note just like any hair, too much manipulation can cause damage. Bleaching the hair can cause the hair to weaken and change its curl pattern. It is recommended to keep the hair in its natural state so it extends its life.
How long do they last?
They can last anywhere between 6 months and a year depending on how often you use and maintain it. We recommend you purchase a weft sealer to keep shedding at a minimal.

At Yarra Trams we are responsible for managing Melbourne's iconic, 100 year-old tram network. It's the largest operating tram network in the world with more than 250 kilometers of double tracks.
Yarra Trams is the operating name of KDR Victoria, a partnership between French-based public transport operator Keolis and Australia's oldest rail company, Downer. On behalf of Public Transport Victoria and the Victorian Government, we manage more than 91,000 pieces of equipment and 487 trams traveling on 29 different routes.
We are committed to delivering a world class service to all our passengers, but keeping our trams running is no simple task. Our greatest asset in tackling this challenge is data and smarter infrastructure software.
In late 2013, we will begin operating the first of 50 new E-Class trams. They will join a fleet of eight different classes of trams of varying ages dating back to 1939. As you can imagine, our older trams have very different maintenance needs than our new trams.
In addition to managing repairs across new and aging infrastructure, our Operations Center and maintenance teams are tasked with keeping trams running and re-routing passengers even when this happens:
Additionally, when major events like the Australian Open are held in Melbourne, we increase tram service in specific areas to accommodate heavy passenger traffic.
To ensure trams are available when and where our passengers need them, we have turned 91,000 pieces of tram equipment into 91,000 data points. Sensors and reports from our employees and passengers provide information in real-time about tram equipment, services and maintenance issues.
For example, an automated wheel-measuring machine housed at a tram depot detects the condition of a tram's wheel. When idle, the sensor remains covered from the elements:
As a tram approaches, it automatically opens:
And scans the wheel as the tram passes:
The data allows maintenance teams to be alerted to any potential issue and ensure necessary repairs are made before service is disrupted.
With this kind of data, as well as mobile technology, we can prevent service disruptions, schedule predictive maintenance, quickly re-route trams and better communicate information about tram services to passengers. When an incident occurs, we use IBM Smarter Infrastructure Software to log details about the incident, create a work order and ensure all is well on the tracks:
Work orders are sent to rolling stock engineers via their mobile device, which also contains all the asset information already stored in Maximo:
Finally, to understand the full scope of what we are doing, click on the interactive infographic below. This illustration breaks down exactly how big data, IBM Smarter Infrastructure Software and mobile technology are making Yarra Trams' infrastructure smarter and more reliable come rain or shine.

Cedar Fever
No, this cedar tree isn't on fire. It's releasing pollen, and lots of it. Good thing I'm not allergic! You can see video of the pollen releasing here.
Rio Vista Dam – San Marcos, TX
The Pride Before the Fall
As I've done many times before, I walked into the middle of the river to get some low, wide angle shots of the swiftly moving water. This time, however, I misjudged the power of the rain swollen rapids and a misplaced foot on a slippery rock sent me tumbling into the current. I struggled to keep the camera above the water, sacrificing knees, feet, and arms as I tumbled along. Just as I was about to be swept into a deep, turbulent pool I managed to grab hold of the tree in the middle with one arm while holding the camera up with the other.
After a few minutes of trying to figure out how I was going to get out of this predicament with my camera intact, I managed to slowly pull myself up onto the tree and escape the torrent. The camera received a pretty good splashing but I was very fortunate it didn't get submerged. While this wasn't necessarily a life threatening experience, I almost destroyed my camera. I'll just have to be more careful next time. 🙂 This was the last shot I took right before I fell in.
