(This review was originally written by me as Phantom Gtowner and posted on Amazon.ca in 2006.)
Let's face it, Frank didn't need to do "Trilogy", arguably the most ambitious record of his career. At age 64, his place in pop music history was assured. Recording at all by then had its risks. While most of his cronies were either drinking tequila in Palm Springs or resting peacefully in Hades, he was hard at work with producer Sonny Burke. It amounted to a monstrous three LP set (now two CD's) and a total of 26 tracks. This recording was a concept record in that each disc represented one of The Past, The Present and The Future. "The Past" is conducted and arranged by Billy May, "The Present" features Don Costa and "The Future" is handled by Gordon Jenkins. All three volumes are produced by Sonny Burke. Record One: "The Past" is where Sinatra really shines. With bandleader Billy May, he effortlessly sails through tracks of varying tempo like "The Song Is You" and "Let's Face The Music And Dance" with that familiar yet somewhat annoying Sinatra panache. If he had stopped at Record One we would have quite an enjoyable LP, but there was more.
"The Present", record two, is an uneven set but the highlights are well worth a listen. "Theme From New York, New York", the high point of the entire album is turned into a Frank Sinatra tour de force. When he sings that he wants to be "king of the hill, top of the heap!", you know he means it. The finishing touches by Don Costa, such as the subtle tempo changes near the conclusion, are terrific and when he gets to the last verse in the part "..and if I can make it there.." his elongation of the word "and" is confirmation that Frank knows he got it right. Most singers half his age don't sing with this conviction. Until this, the best known version of this tune was by Liza Minnelli. Today it would be hard to find someone who can even remember Minnelli doing it. Another high point, the track "You And Me (We Wanted It All)", is a nice melodic song with a definite 1970's atmosphere. These are great tracks but my problem with "The Present" is simply that, of the ten songs, six are tunes that I could have done without. In trying to represent the present, Frank performs songs that had been huge hits, mostly from the 1970's, which are far better known by other singers. Some examples are Kristofferson's "For The Good Times", an abbreviated "MacArthur Park", The Beatles' "Something" and Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender". Frank Sinatra's ongoing problem since the 1960's has been a lack of decent songs for him to sing. Please don't misunderstand me when I say that. This is not a knock on contemporary songwriters, far from it. There have been and will always be good quality songs written but many modern composers don't suit Sinatra's style. Most popular music of any certain era has an inherent sameness to it, a lot like automobile designs. By that I mean, for instance, two predominant 1970's musical fashions were disco music and introspective singer/songwriters just as its cars had vinyl roofs and were the size of large office buildings, but all are long gone. (Actually, disco music isn't really gone, they just choose not to call it that anymore.) Frank was at his best doing Cole Porter, Sammy Cahn or the Gershwins and he knew it. These writers were from a different era and had a style and sensibility that suited Sinatra. He attempts Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" and Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue" with disastrous results. Why would he even think about recording these songs? My guess is because these tunes really did represent the present in 1980 to Frank and Sonny Burke, which speaks volumes about their take on the times and what they thought Sinatra's fans wanted to hear.
Which brings us to the third record, "The Future". This is where it gets just a little pretentious and a whole lot wiggy. Frank's entire career consisted almost exclusively of singing short pop songs and when he gets into more elongated musical structures he sounds a little like The Sex Pistols trying to do Swan Lake. Here he performs six tracks all written specifically for this project by conductor Gordon Jenkins. I don't make claims to have heard all of Sinatra's work but this must surely rank as the strangest thing he has ever done. The first track "What Time Does The Next Miracle Happen", a ten minute epic, is a futuristic musical trek around the solar system, much as you might fly an airplane, complete with airport like PA announcements. "World War None" sounds like it's from some long lost musical, "I've Been There" returns us to normal and is not bad at all but then there's "Song Without Words" which is okay but strangely, it actually has words. All this is followed by another epic length piece called "Before The Music Ends" which is all about returning to Hoboken to see his old neighborhood. It's as hokey as hell but it does have its charm. Record Three:"The Future" has it's credibility problems. However it is ambitious and that part I like. There are too many singers today who don't want to take any chances, or more likely, their record companies won't let them. Sinatra solved that problem in 1961 by starting his own record company, Reprise Records. "Trilogy" is not the ultimate Frank Sinatra LP but it's far from insignificant. Despite my gentle slagging, this record is an enjoyable listen and it's good to know that, in his mid 60's, Frank was still feisty. There's a certain ironic comfort in that.

Well, this might sound crazy and weird! It's known to everyone that BCCI is not one of the richest cricket boards in the world but it is the only richest cricket board in the world with millions of revenue. BCCI has got everything starting from wealth to power! But in the few months BCCI has undergone several issues like Indian Supreme Court interfering in the board and few other things.
At present BCCI is getting clashed not only with ICC but with all other cricket boards around the world. When BCCI challenged ICC decision of cancelling Big-3 model no cricket board supported India. Today BCCI is all alone in the world of cricket but it is still the richest cricket board in the world. Its major challenge is still ahead in the form of Champions trophy.
On May 7th India will announce whether it will send team India cricket players for champions trophy or will it boycott champions trophy. Well if India decides to play in champions trophy then that means that BCCI compromised with ICC on big-3 model and this way India would lose its major revenue share in ICC funds. All other cricket boards have announced their cricket teams except India.
Also Check : BCCI loses power in ICC, Big-3 model cancelled by ICC: What's next
But in case if India boycotts champions trophy then along with India even ICC and other cricket boards will also get affected. England is hosting the Champions Trophy 2017. If India plays in any tournament or a series in other countries then they would get lot of revenue and many cricket boards always strive to have series with India. Once Sri Lankan cricket board was in huge debts of more than Rs 100 crore and at that time India went to Sri Lanka to play series and all its debts were cleared with a single series with India.

Butcher set to complete Hibernian switch
Hibernian plan to unveil Terry Butcher as the club's new manager on Tuesday after agreeing compensation with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Butcher was targeted by Hibernian last week following the departure of Pat Fenlon and watched from the stands as Inverness recorded a 2-0 win at Easter Road on Saturday.
Despite that success, Butcher and his assistant Maurice Malpas, who took charge against Hibernian at the weekend, have expressed a desire to leave Inverness and their wish now looks set to be granted, providing personal terms can be agreed.
In a statement, Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie said: "We are grateful to Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the professional and courteous way in which the discussions between the clubs have been conducted. We now look forward to welcoming the new management team to Easter Road Stadium."
Inverness sit second in the Scottish Premiership – 10 points clear of Hibernian – and expressed understandable regret at the imminent exit of their managerial team, while also revealing Malpas had been offered the opportunity to succeed Butcher.
"It is a major disappointment to the club and the supporters that they have taken this decision," said chairman Kenny Cameron.
"I'd like to put on record our appreciation of the excellent job they have done at Inverness since Caley Thistle provided them with the opportunity to join the club in January 2009.
"Maurice was offered the manager's role but declined. We would, however, like to record our sincere appreciation to him for taking the team on Saturday in what was a resounding victory.
"This is the fourth time that Caley Thistle have found themselves in the situation of having their manager head-hunted by another Scottish Premier club, with Steve Paterson, John Robertson and Craig Brewster being the other instances.
"What it does show is that Caley Thistle have a tradition of getting their selection process right and the club has continued to progress. It is our aspiration to maintain this sequence."

Seniors (61+)
As we get older, it is frustrating to feel that our body is slowing us down. Our body begins to "settle" and may start to degenerate and lose bone quality. Oftentimes, the spine becomes the focus of our weariness and discomfort. Have you ever gotten back pain relief by leaning over the shopping cart? If so, the shopping cart is acting as a support, taking some of the load off of your spine. Frequently, strengthening your core abdominal muscles or adding a supportive low back brace can provide ongoing relief.
While scoliosis is generally diagnosed in childhood, as we age, there can be a progression of an existing curve or the formation of a new curve. For females, this is especially true after menopause. The progression or formation of a new curve can come from hormonal changes, decreased bone quality and/or loss of disc space. This is especially true if there is an existing curve, as the weight on your spine has not been equally distributed over your lifetime. The same is true for kyphosis curves and their progression as we age. There are several conservative measures that can be taken to help with the pain associated with this. Surgical correction may be an option.

Forever grateful,

What does a color say about you? That sounds like a New Age trope, but post-Pantone's revelation of Marsala as its color of the year, we could ask that same question to the color-predicting leader. What do we expect from Pantone's color of the year choices? I was neither offended nor overly enthusiastic about the choice. At first, I was underwhelmed, thinking it was drab, lacking the vibrance (and pinkness) of last year's winner Radiant Orchid, but I now see the richness and sophistication in the dark reddish-brown hue.
I ask: If a color is inspired by a wine, can it really be that bad? Pantone says the color "embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness." It's a warm, welcoming hue, it goes on to say, that adds elegance to any room.
So, why are people so down on Marsala?
The Atlantic calls the food motifs that Marsala alludes to as "decidedly un-gourmet," saying it resembles "rust, the grimy, gag-inducing type that lines corners of frat boy dormitory-style bathrooms." New York magazine also found the color less than appetizing ("icky" was how they described it), explaining that "it's a color that makes you want to go to Olive Garden." However, there's an argument to be made that, that's a good thing.
Marsala may seem divisive now, but there's no denying its appeal. When Katy Perry dyes her hair the color of the year, I don't think anyone's in any position to deny it's ubiquity or impending popularity.
I, for one, have no qualms with Marsala. I'd be a hypocrite if I did as I recently purchased Marsala-colored tights and wear them proudly today as I write this. Indeed, here are other beautiful examples from the fashion, design, and the home goods worlds that showcase the rich warmth behind Marsala. Now tell me you can't see what makes this color so appealing.

* Kevin Kelly, Atholton -- Atholton surprised a lot of people by making it to the state Class 2A championship game where it lost to Elkton, 6-5.
When the season began it was a team loaded with question marks. The entire infield was new. Two outfield spots were up for grabs. The pitching was experienced with Keith Schultz and Shane Beaver, but Beaver's shoulder was sore and he couldn't pitch until midway through the season. Kelly did a nice job of bringing Beaver along slowly, pitching him just once a week so that he was ready for the playoffs where Beaver became nearly dominant enough to steal a state championship.

(guy things: his bucket of vehicles and a UM football gifted to us. it was his first favorite toy, i think this is because of the lovely high contrast school colors. laces are out, good boy.)
(working on his stink face and his standing)
(more serious staring)
(serious eater. indoors and outdoors)
(focused sister-love)
(sweet faces)
-ultrasound. done at the childrens hospital just to make sure things were okay. his head/brain looks fine.
-nurse appt (8 month). he weighed 22 lbs (10 kg) and was 29.5 inches tall (75 cm).
-dr appt (8 month). everything is normal.
-colds. he got his second cold in life which came back around as his third, and then again as his fourth (im done counting these by the way). they brought congestion at night, runny nose during the day, with clinginess off and on. overall, id say he was rather patient with it. my sleep was crap though.
-teeth. got his 3 top-front teeth (#3, 4, 5) at 7.5 months.
-sleep. he averages about 2 hours of naps per day, 8.5-10.5 hours of sleep at night. the amount of times ive been woken up at 4a and had to be awake playing for 1-3 hours is now too numerous to count. :(
-socializing. ive started taking him to the neighborhood 'family breakfast' cafe on wednesday mornings. he likes looking at the kids and there are a few boys his size that are fun to mimic.
-reading. this has been harder than with X. well, i mean, he doesnt enjoy it in the same way and so im having to be patient, which is the hard part. he likes to touch books, bang on them, run his fingers down the pages and make squeaky noises, its just that the stories barely register. he does seem to like 'eight silly monkeys' though. and another good one from the library was 'animal noises' (flintham).
-food. he loves it. he bounces up and down when we sit at the table and food comes his way. he also mostly just eats it and never throws it, rarely drops it, although he does sometimes test it for use as hair gel...
-he loves things with wheels. he digs out cars/trucks from his toy bin and can spend 15 minutes spinning the wheels back and forth with his thumb.
-it seems like he will wean earlier than X did. he can go to sleep for naps without nursing sometimes. i can (sometimes) lay him in his bed, calm, and he can get himself to sleep. and sometimes he stirs awake at night but just wants to be held a bit to get back to sleep, no nursing.
-noise. he likes to bang on things and clap and splash water and shake rattles.
-X. he loves her so much and is very infatuated with her. he stares at her for long periods of time and likes to reach out and touch her face. when she is gone if i show him a picture he says 'gah gah' (which we have determined is his word for her, seriously, its a very clear two syllable sound he makes just for her name).
-he pulled up to standing at 6.5 months
-he throws his body around to get at things he wants. he really seems to want to move.
-he seems very right-handed already
-he 'talks' a lot
-he likes to stick out his tongue
-he probes things with his forefinger

The Adventitious Presence of GM Seeds in Seed of Conventional Varieties
The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) is pleased to respond to the Scottish Executive Rural Affairs Department consultation on the Adventitious Presence of Genetically Modified (GM) Seeds in Seed of Conventional Varieties. The RSE is Scotland's premier Learned Society, comprising Fellows elected on the basis of their distinction, from the full range of academic disciplines, and from industry, commerce and the professions. This response has been compiled by the General Secretary with the assistance of a number of Fellows with substantial experience in crop science and agriculture.
The approach of the Commission's Working Paper is impracticable and not science based. The RSE recognises the need to find practical rules and regulations governing the adventitious presence of GM seeds in seed of conventional plant varieties. However, an important issue is the ability (or more specifically lack of ability) of the enforcement agencies to police the policies that are being developed in respect of GM crops and products. Since there is presently a considerable difficulty in obtaining reliable analyses for low levels of GM contamination, the setting of low tolerances from 'unknown' GM contaminants is something of a theoretical exercise. Moreover, the analytical enforcement problems relate both to laboratories having knowledge of the specific GM transformation that they are looking for and to questions of laboratory 'competence' in applying the relevant analytical methodology, as well as the sampling methodology used.
The specific issues identified in the consultation paper are addressed below:
GM material which is not covered by an EU authorisation under part C of Council Directive 90/220/EEC would not be permitted as a contaminant within conventional seeds. In other words, a threshold of 0% would apply.
Whilst there is no evidence that a GM product approved in USA or Canada but not yet approved in the UK presents an actual risk, there is a principle that the risk is 'unquantified' if the product has not been approved by the relevant European Union (EU) Committee. In the light of this point of principle the 0% tolerance is theonly approach that will satisfy the requirements – and the demands of those who have concerns about GM technology.
However, it is the adventitious, non-intentional and unavoidable presence of GM seed in conventional seed lots, which is to be regulated. When you look at the supply chain through elevators and silos, and barges, ships, lorries and holding bins, the likelihood of adventitious presence is very high so that a 0% threshold will not be practicable. It could not, therefore, guarantee legal certainty and would lead to detection and potential crises from day to day. In addition, if these levels of 'contamination' are not consistent with world-wide acceptable limits then there will be inevitable trade problems.
GM material which is covered by a Part C authorisation should not exceed a threshold of 0.3% in the case of cross pollinating varieties and 0.5% in the case of self pollinating and vegetatively propagating crops.
Given the potential environmental importance of the threshold of GM seed in conventional seed, it might be expected that some attempt would have been made to base this threshold on more than guess work in order to achieve the 1% limit laid down for GM material in food and food ingredients. Consideration should also be given to the difference between organic production and conventional production. While reasonable tolerances could be allowed in relation to conventional agricultural production, much tighter tolerances would be expected fororganic production.
It should be noted that threshold values of 0.3% and 0.5% will be very difficult to test against. The likelihood of picking up contaminants will depend entirely upon the methods used to sample, with practical difficulties in particular for crops such as soya, maize and rape.
No GM plants of the same, or closely related species, may have been grown in the land used for seed production of a non-GM variety for:
- five years in the case of small seeded legumes (fodder plants), oil and fibre plants,
- two years for other plants.
The separation period between GM and non-GM plants of similar varieties should be based on scientific understanding and checked against existing information on the cross-contamination experienced in the production of certified seed of different varieties of non-GM crops. Particular consideration should be given to plants in the cabbage family, Cruciferae, which have buried seed banks that are persistent for a long time, and to tuberous plants.
The distances currently applicable to the isolation of seed crops of conventional cross-pollinating varieties should be doubled in respect of neighbouring sources of pollen from GM plants.
The Working Paper fails to give any scientific argument for the precautionary approach chosen by the Commission and does not state why - if at all necessary - an increase in separation distances should be 100%. Crucial guidelines of this sort should be based on science and not guesswork.
All packages of seeds must carry the following declaration on the required labels: "EU-unauthorised genetically modified organisms not present"
The proposed labelling provision will require the seed industry to give guarantees it will not be able to deliver, as the adventitious presence of GM seed in conventional seed can never be completely ruled out. The sampling scheme will only allow statements such as "Probability of less than 1 in 1,000,000 that this product contains more than 1 part in 10,000 unauthorised GM seed", unless it is proposed to test every batch.
Packages of seeds of genetically modified varieties covered by an EU authorisation under part C of Council Directive 90/220/EEC must carry the following declaration on the required labels: "genetically modified variety"
The labelling of GM seeds will need to take account of the draft EC proposals on GM crops for use in animal feed. In this draft legislation the initial proposal is to relate the labelling to the specific product registration number of the GM product. However, in order to know the product registration number of the crop you will need to know the product registration number of the seed. Therefore GM seed labels should also include specific product registration numbers.
Examinations required for compliance would be carried out either officially or under official supervision but this would not be necessary if the seeds have been produced in areas where GM varieties of the same species, or of a closely related species are not grown.
The provision that the rules will not be applied in certain cases could run the risk of abuse. It would also imply that such areas could be easily identified and would be stable. The working document does not provide information as to who would be responsible for determining such areas; what procedures would need to be applied if adventitious presence of GM should occur nevertheless; and what liability consequences could occur should adventitious GM traces of an event would be found in a GM free area.
Views on any anticipated costs arising from these proposed changes.
The costs of meeting this scheme are likely to be substantial and its cost and cost-effectiveness should be rigorously reviewed after five years. The measures should also be withdrawn in due course if it transpires that GM plants pose no threat to health or the environment.
Additional Information
In responding to this inquiry the Society would like to draw attention to the following Royal Society of Edinburgh responses which are of relevance to this subject: Review of the Framework for Overseeing Developments in Biotechnology (February 1999); The Scientific Advisory System – Genetically Modified Foods Inquiry (March 1999); The OECD Edinburgh Conference on the Scientific and Health Aspects of Genetically Modified Foods (February 2000); The Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission's Work Plan (November 2000) and The Assessment of Risk to Biodiversity from GM Crop Management (December 2000).

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 56460
Entering Terminal Window displays too many arguments
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:38:21 EDT
Description of Problem:
When using either KDE or Gnome Destops the following message is displayed
on starting a terminal Window. Applies to different terminal programs
and also applies when additional terminal windows are started, not just
the first one. The terminal window itself is reasonably quick to appear,
but it then takes a while for the error message and then the prompt to
apper. During this there is sustained hard disk activity.
Displayed error message:-
[: too many arguments
[root@localhost root]#
This is a new installation.
P.S. Couldn't see a terminal program option in the component list.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How Reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run any terminal program from KDE or Gnome Desktop
Actual Results:
[: too many arguments
[root@localhost root]#
after sustained disk access
Expected Results:
[root@localhost root]#
Additional Information:
kterm is 'Kanji terminal', not KDE terminal.
This certainly does not happen on any of our systems.
Chances are you (or your sysadmin) did something odd in ~/.bashrc,
~/.bash_profile, /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/*.

The Sweetheart Deal
Reviewed by Martín Hernández
The Latino Theater Company at the Los Angeles Theatre Center
Through June 4
As a veteran of El Teatro Campesino, the political theater troupe founded in 1965 as the cultural arm of the United Farm Workers, playwright-director Diane Rodriguez knows of what she writes. Like the Teatro's actos (skits) performed before farmworkers and their supporters on flatbed trucks in the fields or in union halls, Rodriguez's work, at times didactic and long on exposition, is a stirring call to arms at a time when one cannot stay neutral or "forget those who labor."
It's 1970. Born and raised in the produce fields of Delano, California, Mari (Ruth Livier) and Will (Geoff Rivas) have a son in college and a mortgage in San Jose, and have been living the middle-class Mexican-American dream. Now, inspired by UFW founder Cesar Chavez 's struggle to organize poverty-waged farmworkers, Will leaves his cozy life and, with the reluctant Mari in tow, returns to Delano where the couple volunteer for the union's underground newspaper, El Malcriado. With the paper's editor Chon (Valente Rodriguez), farmworker/correspondent Lettie (Linda Lopez), and UFW organizer Charlie (Peter Wylie), an Anglo, the couple face numerous battles, not least of which is the produce growers' not-so-subtle support of the Teamsters Union and its thuggish tactics to undercut the UFW's fight for better wages and benefits.
Another conflict is with Mari's estranged brother Mac (David DeSantos). A Korean War buddy of Will's, Mac is also a Teamster shop steward whom Charlie thinks can be recruited to help the UFW. But Mac rebuffs Mari and Will's awkward efforts to enlist him, and while a truce with Mari ensues, it eventually devolves with predictably tragic events. Through it all, Mari, with the help of Lettie, a self-proclaimed "chola from Fresno," and an understanding Will, transforms from one who doubts the efficacy of volunteerism to a woman who finds her voice as a skilled and empathetic organizer (a role many woman played in the UFW but that was mostly overshadowed by the machismo of El Movimiento).
Rodriguez skillfully balances humor and pathos to explore the UFW's strategy and tactics, from the fledgling El Malcriado's embrace of journalistic professionalism to the informing on undocumented scabs to the Migra. She intersperses her own actos throughout the piece, with her cast portraying cartoonish versions of farm bosses, Teamster goons and noble farmworkers and organizers. Augmenting the agitprop are designer Yee Eun Nam's projection of text and graphics from El Malciado, Efren Delgadillo's use of large produce bins for his set, and sound designer Cricket S. Myers' palette of recordings from the era. Rodriguez and her talented ensemble proudly wear their hearts on their sleeves, and those who recall the fervent cries of ¡Viva la Causa! will be hard-pressed to keep their own hearts in check.
The Latino Theater Company at the Los Angeles Theatre Center, 514 S. Spring St., downtow;, Thurs –Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.; through June 4. (866) 811-4111 or thelatc.org. Running Time: 90 minutes with no intermission.

Author: Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.
Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917.
At the peak of the First World War, Our Lady warned of another worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia.

It started off small, with Buster building a few little models. We had watched the direct-to-DVD Lego movie "Clutch Powers," where the animated Lego minifig hero "gets creative" and saves the day by building things out of nearby Lego bricks, so he told us he was "getting creative." Hooray, sometimes media sends kids in good directions too!
This one is some kind of police tower, with siren and security camera. Really, the micro dude is talking about security cameras like he is part of the surveillance nation already.
And then with his brother's input, it turned into a whole assortment of models.
Buster built a drum kit, re-using some Batman pieces.
Q-ster built a whole band, complete with singer and microphone in the front, next to the guitarist, and keyboardist and drummer to complete the team.
They added price tags on sticky notes and turned their work into a "Model Shop." Enterprising!

One man was killed when a domestic dispute between a married couple escalated inside a Homestead home, authorities said.
Police say that during the argument Saturday, the man began to shoot at his wife, but she was able to escape without injury.
When police arrived, they say the husband had barricaded himself inside of the home at 25400 SW 126th Ct. By the time they got inside at 6:28 p.m., it was too late — the man had fatally shot himself.
Neither the man nor his wife have been identified.

Let's raise a glass to seasonal frugality. Because the Christmas drink shopping needn't be all about spending huge amounts – it is still possible to get yourself, and the hoards of visiting relatives, something decent to slurp with the turkey for under £3.50.
But there is a slight drawback; you'll no longer have the run of all the supermarket wine aisles. But if you don't mind your wine choice being a bit limited, but still tasty, here are my top six bargain seasonal sippers.
All six are available right now from Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi or Morrisons, and all are guaranteed to work out at under £3.50 a bottle.
PG Wine Tips
Aldi St. Amandus Liebfraumilch 2009, 10% alcohol
£2.78 Aldi
Best Low Alcohol Wine of 2010. There aren't too many low alcohol wines about despite consumers crying out for them. Of those available most are German and white, and this wine is no exception. But don't be put off by the Liebfrau label, its quaffable pear and peach flavours are tamed with lime and warming ginger.
Hock Deutscher Tafelwein, 9% alcohol, 1.5-litre tetrapak
£5.99 (equivalent to £2.99 for 75cl) Morrisons
Another German low alcohol wine that's fruity and surprisingly unsweet. Peach, melon, apple and pear flavours.
Aldi Hugarian Budavár Merlot
£2.99 Aldi
More Aldi bargains. This one's a red fruit bonanza: blackberry, sweet strawberry and raspberry topped with liquorice.
Vieille Fontaine French Vins de Pays du Comté Tolosan
£3.29 Tesco
This soft red is an ideal match to lighter meats such as turkey. Gentle raspberry and strawberry flavours.
Aldi Italian Montepulciano D'Abruzzo
£3.39 Aldi
Aromas of creamy blackcurrant and cherry, followed by flavours of blackcurrant cheesecake with extra coffee and black pepper.
Sainsbury's House Dry White, 11.5% alcohol
£3.49 Sainsbury's
A non-descript bottle hides a complex wine. Initially tasting of grapefruit when first opened this wine mellows to melon, pear, apple and mandarin. A great match to main meals with rich sauces.

Plant Answer Line Question
Keywords: light pollution, Effect of light
My neighbor has floodlights shining into my garden all night. It's annoying for many reasons, but I am also wondering if artificial light affects plant growth?
Washington State University professor and Extension horticulturist Linda Chalker-Scott addresses this issue in her factsheet, "The Myth of Night Light." Here is an excerpt:
"When urban trees, especially street trees, are exposed to extended light periods, those leaves and buds nearest the source perceive an endless summer and keep on growing. While this phenomenon is difficult to see initially, in the autumn it is quite distinctive: affected leaves retain their green color while those leaves under natural conditions have already started to senesce and change colors (see photo). When the first autumn frosts arrive, these green leaves die and the tree loses the resources that normally are scavenged during senescence. Recent research has demonstrated that high-intensity light sources, such as high-pressure sodium lamps, have the greatest impact on delaying leaf senescence and subsequent dormancy of landscape trees."
Similar information is available from Purdue University Extension, in the article "Does Night Lighting Harm Trees." It includes a list of woody plants and their degree of sensitivity to artificial light pollution. It also mentions which types of lighting have the greatest and least potential effect (incandescent and high pressure sodium lights have a greater effect than fluorescent, mercury vapor, or metal halide). It is interesting to note that continuous lighting, as opposed to lighting that goes off at some point during the late night, is especially damaging:
"The foliage of trees grown in continuous lighting may be larger in size and more susceptible to air pollution and water stress during the growing season because the stomatal pores in leaves remain open for longer periods."
There is additional information about the effects of light pollution on animals, humans, plants, and the environment as a whole, on the website of the Florida Atlantic University Observatory, and from the International Dark Sky Association.

"I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange."
After the sudden collapse of her family, Mim Malone is dragged from her home in northern Ohio to the "wastelands" of Mississippi, where she lives in a medicated milieu with her dad and new stepmom. Before the dust has a chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.
So she ditches her new life and hops aboard a northbound Greyhound bus to her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow travelers along the way. But when her thousand-mile journey takes a few turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons, redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane.
Told in an unforgettable, kaleidoscopic voice, "Mosquitoland" is a modern American odyssey, as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
- Mim has to be one of my all-time favorite MCs. She was so unique, smart, eccentric and witty that I was instantly drawn to her. She was put into this mold by her father and was told her whole life that crazy was bad, crazy was different and needed to be treated. She was left out of so much, decisions that she was old enough to understand because her father didn't believe in her. She decides that she is going to go find her mother on her own after hearing some bad news. Mim gets on a bus and just goes. As much as she wants to stay to herself, she meets amazing people on her way and makes lifelong friends. I think the people around Mim just could not help but want to be part of her world. I can totally get that.
- The writing in this book was stunning. I think half of the book is highlighted in my Kindle. My Kindle also had this new feature of showing me what others highlighted (my Kindle is new to me lol). I loved the way the words were put together and I could feel so much of Mim in myself. The quote in the summary was one of my favorites. I posted that on my Twitter and Facebook because I felt everyone needs to read it.
- One favorite side characters was the old lady on bus. Mim sits down next to her and describes her, "I'll admit, initially, I'd been wary of sitting next to an old lady; the beehive hairdos, the knit turtlenecks, the smell of onion soup and imminent death." Mim realizes that you can't judge a book by it's cover and you definitely have to find out more about a person, who they really are and where they are going, instead of just the look or smell of them.
- I have always aspired to be a writer and if I could sit down with David Arnold and listen to some of his wisdom, I would be so blessed. Mim's aunt stated, "Writing sort of…rounds off the sharp edges of my brain, you know?" So true. I sometimes cannot communicate at all, if I am sad or upset or cannot get a control on my emotions, I write. I carry are a notebook and write everything from journal posts, story ideas to random tidbits that come into my mind. I feel like writing keeps me sane.
- One thing I was most in love with was all the relationships in the book. Mim has to learn who she is, but then also how to be a kind friend, a possible girlfriend and a loving daughter. There is the cutest slow burn relationship in the book, and I would LOVE to have a sequel to Mosquitoland telling us how that turns out. Plus, Mim really figured out who her parents were and that life is not always easy, but being selfish really doesn't help anything.
- The journaling in the story is so neat. I love the way it started and what it grew into. I don't want to spoil anything but it was such an awesome idea.
- I so badly want to just go on a road with Beck, Walt and Mim, take my camera and see where life takes us. I feel like it would be the most epic time in my life. We could have some amazing, eccentric and insightful adventures!
- The only gripe I had was that the book ended. I want more. I
crave more.

981. #BlogElul 2015 1: Prepare
Today at services the rabbi invited all those who had a goal for the month of Elul to come up to the bimah for an aliyah. He gave us a minute to think about that goal, and I closed my eyes and saw a carousel of intentions, all dancing and vying to be chosen. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't quite ready to choose, and instead offered a little prayer that Elul itself would lead me to the answer. I happened to be at the bimah already, since I was chanting, which I think was God's way of accepting a compromise. I'm preparing to prepare. It's a start, like this first day of the journey of Elul.

Excellent communication and timely service. Knows what he is doing. I appreciated his knowledge and experience... but mostly, that he told me (and did) what needed to be done to repair the roof rather than telling me that the entire roof needed to be replaced.
The work that was done (so far) seems to have been done very well. While it did take a long time for SmcExteriors to come out to our place, the perceived quality of the craftsmanship and the price was well worth the wait, and the only reason (I believe) it took as long as it did to do the repair is because it was a relatively small job outside of their usual area of business, so if it were a bigger job it may have had some more urgency. But the most important thing to take away from this review is quality with price: SmcExteriors did this repair between five to ten times less than other contractors with the same care. Most contractors wanted to charge close to $500 to replace one 10ft panel of fascia. Steve was down to earth, charged a more-than-reasonable amount, and really wanted our business. If we ever need another job done, I won't hesitate to get in touch with Steve.
The Grandview Construction crew and Jeremy were an AWESOME group! They repaired my roof, tore down and repaired my fallen in ceiling, treated for mold, put in new insulation, new drywall, textured the walls, new light fixtures, repaired my front deck railing, put in new carpet and so many other little things as well. They were all so pleasant, hard working, and really knew their craft. They were always on time and cleaned up after themselves. I am having them come back in the spring for a few more jobs. They are very reasonably priced and went out of their way to make sure to keep my costs down. I couldnt have picked a better company! These guys have real SKILLS!~ FAdams-Des Moines, Ia.
Iowa Gutter did a fantastic job with my gutter guards. They responded almost immediately to my request to have the installation done, did high quality work, and cleaned up well afterwards. The pros and cons of various types of guards were explained to me beforehand so that I could make an informed decision about which product would be best for my home. Couldn't be happier and am really looking forward to not having to clean my gutters out multiple times a year... I highly recommend Iowa Gutter for any work you need done with gutters, gutter guards/toppers, and downspouts. These guys really know what they're doing and it was a pleasure to have them do this project for me!
Easy to work with and we had a great line of communication. They came in at a great price and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their gutters.
I highly recommend C&C gutter. As a contractor when I called them they come out and measure the next day and schedule a time to install always on time and the workmanship is totally awesome .
I would recommend Professional Roofing to anyone, they did an excellent job, John came out the day after I posted and gave me an great estimate, and started the next week, finished in one day, cleaned up everything better than it was before, great workers fast and professional. I will call him back when we are ready for new siding. Joni and Wes Bos
I had a sump pump that needed to be replaced and he did a great job. This was for a rental home that I own out of state and he was easy to work with, provided an estimate in advance and guided me on the best sump to purchase. He was VERY reasonable in price, cleaned up after himself and was a professional. He's on my list for the next project.
Hiring Shane was a good decision. He was professional and always on time. Shane came out and gave us a bid on the replacement of the roof. He did everything exactly the way he said he would. I would recommend him to others that needed roofing services.

The 16 bit restriction is a hardware one so the software changes to it.

China blasts United for yanking Asian passenger off flight
View Slideshow
That's a real eyesore!
A 36-year-old factory worker in China miraculously survived when a 4-inch bolt pierced through his eye, wedging in his skull.
The Suzhou City native, who was not identified by name, was operating equipment in a factory in Shanghai earlier this month, when the bolt — nearly an inch thick — shot into his head at a downward angle, AsiaWire reported.
The accident broke several bones in the man's face, X-rays of his horrifying injuries reveal. But he was expected to recover.

Japanese lovers can have dinner and sweets together this Valentine's with new chocolate curry
Just plain lovers, curry lovers, and chocolate lovers can all rejoice with the release of the new chocolate curry, created specially for romantic Japanese couples who wish to celebrate their love for each other by chowing down on dinner and dessert at the same time.
Despite it seeming like a joke, online Japanese store Village Vanguard's chocolate curry actually has some elements that make it sound quite delicious, but apparently, don't really do the trick. Made mostly with the obvious curry and chocolate, the self-advertised-as-disgusting meal's other ingredients are as follows: banana puree, sautéed onions, sugar, chutney, onion extract, curry powder, and other spices. Sounds not that bad, right? Priced at 540 yen, or about 4.70 in US dollars, this unique dinner-for-one promises to at least be the cheapest Valentine's meal you can ever have. You obviously have to double the price for a romantic homemade dinner-for-two, but you don't even have to pay for dessert! All you have to do is remember to cook some rice beforehand.
With only two more weeks until Valentine's Day, demand in Japan for this special curry is said to be . . . very, very low.
"Happy chocolate flavor"

Fact finding tour through forests
Deniliquin sawmiller Ben Danckert says he is buoyed by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian's affirmation that she ''bases her decision on facts''.
Mr Danckert, a fourth generation sawmill owner and chair of The Nationals' Riverina Red Gum branch, said it was the key point he took away from his meeting with the Premier this week.
Mrs Berejiklian visited the Murray Valley National Park between Deniliquin and Moama with foundation members of the Riverina Red Gum branch on Tuesday morning.
Mr Danckert had issued the invite to Mrs Berejiklian in Griffith in June this year. It followed the passing of a motion at the Nationals' state conference to reverse the National Parks conversion implemented in 2010 — to convert it back to the ''Murray Valley State Forest so that sustainable and viable practice can be practised as it was until 2010''.
Mrs Berejiklian is the first Premier to visit Deniliquin since Bob Carr, in the lead up to the 2007 election.
She said that milestone was highlighted with her during the visit, and she specified she was here to learn the facts relating to the timber industry and other local issues.
Joining the Premier for return trips to the forest were NSW Minister for Lands and Forestry Paul Toole, former Member for Murray Adrian Piccoli and The Nationals' candidate for the seat of Murray Austin Evans.
Mr Danckert said the Premier was provided with documents that outline the facts she is looking for, which he is confident she will use to debate the party motion in cabinet.
''We gave her a history of the sawmills, and the recent history of how the industry was closed down by the former Labor Government,'' Mr Danckert said.
''We gave her literature and maps that opposed information that was used to justify the National Parks conversion.
''We visited compartment 27 of the former Moira State Forest, which was last harvested in 2006 and probably only four other times in the 15 years before that.
''She seemed quite surprised to find the forest in good health, and not clear felled as has been suggested.
''We also took her past the thinning stacks, which we (commercial timber businesses) were pleased to be given access to when Paul Toole last visited.
''We highlighted to the Premier that she would not spend any money to help us reach our goal — she would only need to get the legislation through that would allow us back in the forest.''
As well as highlighting the economic cost of the forests being closed to commercial harvest — about $100 million a year — Mr Danckert said the uses for the timber were detailed for the Premier and her advisors.
''We also got the chance to sit down and speak with the Premier directly. She made no promises, but she said she would take what she had learned to cabinet.
''It was good to see her here and willing to find out more.''
Mrs Berejiklian said she intends to keep in constant contact with the industry workers she met on Tuesday, and to ensure all decisions on the future of the forest and its uses are based on fact.
''I came here because I like to deal with the facts. I have briefing papers, but I prefer to speak to the people and it (visiting the forest) was a positive experience.
''I asked everyone there to speak with me directly. I appreciate the frustrations (they have) but they do also recognise that this government has done a lot since the conversion, including work on the stockpiling of timber. There was relief that I was here listening to them, and I have agreed to keep in contact and to consult.''

The RDEK received the message loud and clear – residents of Elko and Galloway do not want to be included in an Official Community Plan.
The Regional District board voted Friday to excluded the two communities from the long-term vision for the Jaffray area that will encompass Rosen Lake and Tie Lake as well.
Are B Director Stan Doehle says it was a thorough two year process with much public consultation and he wants to respect residents' wishes.
Doehle admits he has concerns about the communities not being under an OCP but maybe public opinion will change in five years.
Two petitions were presented to the RDEK following a draft plan in April and several engagement meetings.
Elko and Galloway will move forward with plan to guide or regulate future development.
Land use decisions for the two communities will fall under the Agriculture Land Commission.
The RDEK will be coming back out to the community to present the revised drafts later this summer.

Yesterday I was freaking out on Twitter about the fact that at this point when we have a second kid there will be at least three years in between Charlotte and her sibling. Everyone was quick to reassure me that it will be fine, that they know plenty of people with kids three and four years apart who get along just fine, and most importantly, many people reminded me how much easier it will be to have a baby with a slightly older child who can help.
My sister and I are two years apart, and most everyone I know has kids anywhere from fourteen months to two years apart, so in a way it's all I know and the reason I felt like I wanted to do it that way. But, in the end I realized that while a closer spacing might work well for some families, for our family it's probably best to let Charlotte get a little older. Right now she has no interest in babies, unless you count her interest in being really mean to her baby doll. She's also extremely high maintenance, volatile, jealous, and above all, STILL IN DIAPERS.
That's right. At this point in time, my number one consolation for the fact that I will have another year or so before having my oh-so-wanted second child is the fact that I won't have to change two sets of diapers. And that's not even a definite because this kid has NO interest in potty training. Like, at all.
I'm a believer in following her lead, not pressuring her, and trusting her to not remain in diapers forever. But, I figured giving her a few nudges, introducing her to the idea, and then stepping back when she resisted would be my strategy. So, I asked her if she would like to own some underwear, and she seemed excited. She picked out some Minnie underwear, we came home, and I put them on her. She loved them. They were soft! And "niiiiice!" I kept reminding her she would need to sit on the potty (which we'd owned for a while,) that these were not to be peed in. She brushed me off with a curt "Yeah." And then she peed in the first pair. And the second. When she even further defiled the third pair, we called it quits. This was clearly a stupid plan.
I resigned myself to the fact that she wasn't ready. Perhaps she wasn't even able to tell me she needed to go before it was happening. So, I backed off. I mean, she's only just turned two. What's my rush? She'll let me know when she's ready.
And yet, I AM in a rush. I really couldn't even tell you why. Diapers have never been a big deal to me. Changing them is simply what you do as a parent. It can be a little annoying at times, but it was never high on my list of grievances, until recently. But, after two years of mostly uneventful changing sessions, things have gotten contentious between Charlotte and her Official Diaper Changers. She doesn't want her diaper changed right now, thank you very much. She is too busy playing. "Well, okay. We'll change you in a few minutes." Nope. Still not interested. Oh, good. Now she's screaming. I just took a kick to the rib...you get the idea.
She's gotten better about the whole thing, but it's mentally exhausting to have to use so much psychology to get her to lie down willingly so that I can have the great honor of wiping her butt. We have to warn her, prepare her, give her little tasks along the way to make her feel like she's helping. It's quite taxing.
So, yesterday, when she announced she'd like to go potty while we were running errands, I took the bait. And, I took it with gusto. I whisked her to Target where I explained the concept of Pull-Ups to her. I know many experts say to skip these and go straight to underwear, but she's clearly not there yet, and I wanted to ride the momentum I thought we were gaining. So, as I'm explaining how she gets to pull them up and down herself "Just like underwear!" she spots the Toy Story pack and says "How 'bout Woody and Buzz?" Sure! Sure thing! Let's get them! Now let's go pick out a potty!
Charlotte's pediatrician recommended the seats that rest on top of a toilet seat. She said they are softer than most potties and that many kids like to feel that they are using a grown up potty. So, we went down another aisle where Charlotte agonized for a few minutes over her choices before finally settling on a Sesame Street cushion.
The whole ride home I was trying to pump up the excitement. Lots of "You're gonna use the potty! Hooray! And you'll get jellybeans! (Yes, jellybeans. I don't want to hear it.) And you're gonna wear Woody and Buzz Pull-Ups! Yeah! Best day ever!"
We get home, and I immediately begin setting everything up, still chattering with excitement over the momentous occasion that was about to take place. When, all of a sudden, I stop talking long enough to hear some very obvious grunting. I leaped into action. "Charlotte, are you pooping?" No answer. "Why don't you poop on the potty so you can get jellybeans?" "Okay!" Except we were too late. And for the rest of the day whenever she would agree to sit on the potty, she'd say "Pee, pee. Jellybeans, now!" I explained that she had to pee "for real" to get jellybeans. "Pee for real! Jellybeans!" "Um, no." She pressed on: "Pooping, pooping. Jellybeans!" This wasn't working.
When it was time to take her soaked Pull-Up off and replace it with a new one she requested "No Pull-Up. Just diaper."
Yeah, we're done. Son of a bitch.

Win 7 x64 Home Premium (and x86 VirtualBox VM)/Win10
Updates will re-appear when they themselves are updated - this is by design, and fully intentional.
The problem with the Silverlight and Bing Bars is that more than one version is available at WU.
If you check the Bing situation, there are actually two completely different apps - Bing Bar, and Bing Desktop - and these are available in about 3 different versions each. Higher versions are offered first, and when these are hidden, the lower versions are then offered, and you need to also hide these.
When the updates are themselves updated, you have to go through the whole procedure again
With Silverlight, I think that there are currently two versions being offered.
