Canadiens 5, Panthers 4, OTNHL.com @NHL
MONTREAL (AP) - In a penalty-filled game against the Florida Panthers, the Montreal Canadiens were grateful they got the final few power-play opportunities.
Michael Ryder scored his second overtime goal of the season with the man advantage, leading Montreal to a 5-4 victory over the Panthers on Tuesday night.
Canadiens center Steve Begin scored a power-play goal with 8.1 seconds left in regulation to tie it at 4. Ryder, who scored the overtime winner in the team's season-opening road win against the Rangers on Oct. 6, one-timed Saku Koivu's pass beyond Montreal native Roberto Luongo 3:19 into the extra period.
"Tonight, luckily - very, very luckily - we came through with a big win, but I wouldn't want to be getting into that every night," said Canadiens defenseman Craig Rivet, who scored the first of Montreal's four power-play goals in 10 opportunities.
Stephen Weiss scored a pair of third-period goals with the man advantage to give the Panthers a 4-3 lead, their first of the game. Florida went 2-for-9 on power plays.
"We're disappointed," Weiss said. "We wanted two points. Getting a point is OK, but we had the lead with 4 minutes left and we should have come out with two points, so we've got to find a way to do that."
Referees Stephane Auger and Dan O'Halloran called a total of 19 minors, including eight in the third period.
Panthers center Chris Gratton, who was called for tripping 2:12 into overtime, was assessed a 10-minute gross misconduct following Ryder's goal.
"There were some questionable calls on both sides, for Montreal and for us, but at that point of the game, I mean, it's a joke," Gratton said.
Gratton was displeased with Auger, who whistled him for the tripping and gross misconduct infractions.
"He did the same thing at Pittsburgh a week ago," Gratton said. "It's the same ref. I don't know, we're not supposed to complain about the (officiating), but it's something that should be looked at. The same guy, every time. It's embarassing and hopefully they fix it. There were some questionable calls on both sides tonight and unfortunately they just happened to make one in overtime."
Francis Bouillon also scored a power-play goal, and Richard Zednik scored at even strength for Northeast Division-leading Montreal. Jose Theodore won for the second straight night, and Koivu had three assists as Montreal took over sole possession of first overall in the Eastern Conference with 19 points.
Luongo made 33 saves, including a sensational pad stop on Zednik with the Canadiens on the power play with just over 1 minute left in the third.
Trailing 3-1, Florida came back and tied it on Nathan Horton's goal late in the second and Weiss' power-play score midway through the third.
While Weiss' first goal came just after the first of two Montreal penalties had expired on a five-on-three advantage, his second of the period came during another five-on-three and gave the Panthers their first lead of the game at 15:25.
"Penalties, I think that's the new NHL," Rivet said. "It's very, very frustrating at times, like it was tonight, but we've had nights ourselves where it's been the opposite."
Martin Gelinas also scored for Florida, which lost 2-1 in Toronto one night earlier.
With Gelinas in the penalty box and Theodore on the bench for an extra attacker, Begin put a rebound of Rivet's point shot past Luongo, bringing on a thunderous cheer from the sellout crowd of 21,273.
Rivet opened the scoring 2:28 in with his first of the season, beating Luongo with a shot from the left point with 14 seconds remaining in Montreal's first power-play opportunity.
Zednik, who returned from a groin strain Thursday in Ottawa, made it 2-0 on the Canadiens' sixth shot against Luongo.
With Montreal enjoying an 11-1 margin in shots, the Panthers suddenly jumped back in the game at 15:26 with a goal off a pair of shots in quick succession. Theodore stopped Hill's slap shot from the right point but Gelinas jumped on the rebound and scored his fourth of the season to draw Florida within 2-1.
Bouillon restored the Canadiens' two-goal lead early in the second, making it 3-1 with his first of the year at 2:05.
Notes: The Canadiens wore vintage jerseys, replicas of an earlier version of their white sweaters featuring the familiar blue band from their red uniform. ... Panthers C Joe Nieuwendyk missed his sixth straight game because of back spasms. ... Canadiens C Radek Bonk was out of the lineup for a second straight game. Bonk strained his groin in practice Monday and didn't play in Montreal's 4-1 win in New York. ... Montreal has sold out each of its seven games at the Bell Centre.

Creature Vs Creature: The Djoker Gets SeriousSeptember 11, 2009
(For the Federer fans, you might want to read Conor's article here.)
The fun-loving Novak has had a quiet year at the slams, showing lots of promise but no substance. Now he has a chance to rectify that. Federer and Djokovic are now gearing up for a clash which may change the fate of Nole's year. So far it's been disappointment after disappointment but finally he's in a position to grab a big win.
Novak Djokovic:
The Serb has made his way to the semis of New York without much fuss... or quality. After an encouraging start, he put in a very patchy performance, almost finding himself in a losing position against an opponent ranked 272 places below him. However, towards the end of his last match (against Verdasco) he began to play some fantastic tennis... the sort of tennis that could beat Federer.
Will Win If:
The most important thing for Djokovic is for him to serve very well. If he can't win his service games without putting too much effort into them then he won't be able to live with Fed. However, The Swiss Genius has seemed a tad vulnerable at this year's US Open, so if Nole can keep up a high level for the whole match then he should be able to exploit the chinks in TMF's armour. Consistently good serving, along with controlled agression is what he'll need to defeat the world No. 1.
Will Lose If:
He cannot revert to counter-punching if he wants to win this match. It's very important that he plays like an aggressive baseliner and keeps believing in himself. If he loses his confidence then he'll just end up using his poor imitation of Murray's game. Murray couldn't beat him with that game last year and neither will Djokovic this year. He needs to flatten out his forehand and take Federer on with the sort of bull-headed determination that gave Nadal a winning record against this very same player.
You never know when Djokovic is gonna decide to utilise his talent to his fullest ability and put his all into a match. When he does that he's almost as dangerous as Federer at his best. And Federer doesn't seem to be at his best...
Nole in 4. They never play 5 sets and I've got a good feeling about Novak right now.

I keep promising to be better at blogging but then keep forgetting! LOL. Admittedly my computer died and I have only just bought a new one the last few days.
I did want to write a post about the struggle. I am not struggling currently - I am doing remarkbly well :) and its fabulous when you read a blog and see someone succeeding - but there is usually a significant number of people reading that blog that are searching for answers with their struggling.
Now, I am in no way saying I have the answers. I have a experience and am going to talk about my own experience with struggling.
As most know I lost 94 kilos between 2006-2011. Life was great. I felt fit (altho admittedly I was definitely over exercising). My goal was to get to 76 kilos...I got to 79 kilos and after months of being stuck there I decided that was my number and I was going to stop losing weight.
So if you are going into "maintenance" surely you have a plan right? Nope. No plan. My only plan was to be "normal" and just eat. Over the next 6 months or so I gained about 7 kilos back but I was still pretty happy with where I was at, but there was definitely some guilt starting in the back of my mind.
Then life decided to smack me in the face. Mum passed away, then 3 months later I broke my wrist (probably the biggest factor in losing my motivation), a good friend passed away and then my house was broken into - all in a matter of 13 months.
Weight loss became a minor priority. I was still going to the gym (altho the trainer I had at the time was a hinderance more then anything) my eating was getting more and more out of control. The more it got out of control and the bigger I got - the more negative feelings I had about myself. I was not only suddenly over 100 kilos, but I had gone from the confident "i love my life" person to a person filled with guilt, feeling ashamed and humiliated.
I really hated the person I was becoming and how I felt. My fitness was slowly going downhill, I started stepping away from my friends, social media - everything! I remember one night going thru my facebook and deleting over 100 people of it! As most know ... when you lose weight/gain weight ...the more you hide....the bigger you become. When eating and tv watching is your solace...there is no where to go then for the scales to go up!
So how did I get myself back on track? Honestly there was no step by step plan...but looking back now I can see how I managed to do it.
Initially it started with me acknowledging that i was humiliated/embarrassed/ashamed....I was playing around with you tube back in those days and ended up making a video where basically I admitted it (the video no longer exists). I put it out there...that i was embarresed and humiliated. Putting it out there was the first step. I had previously been the weight loss queen...I lost my identity somewhere along the way and I just needed to admit where things stood.
I made that video over a year ago. Not long after I decided I needed a clean slate and left the gym I was going too. I decided to join a local goodlife....I had for a short period time a few years earlier attended there and even had a personal trainer. The personal trainer was great so I contacted her to see if she would train me again - thankfully she said yes :)
Initially when I went back to the gym in May 2016 I had only one goal. After 6-12 months of skipping the gym a LOT, I decided the only goal at this point was to attend the PT sessions, and only skipping the session when I was on deaths doorstep! lol I did pretty good with this. I rarely missed any sessions. WINNING.
Whilst I was doing the PT sessions I was still gaining weight. By September 2016 I hit my highest in the regain of weight of 133.6 kilos. Once again I decided to try and get myself on track. I lost a few kilos and decided to join the gyms 8 week challenge. I started it and got to about week 7 and then lost the plot. I had got down to about 123 kilos and then regained over a few weeks to 129 kilos.
A few weeks after the challenge I had a BIG chat with my trainer and we made some changes, we decided she would send me workouts for when I am in the gym when I am there for no PT session, we would weigh weekly and I would try and get back on track (this was around December 18 2016)
I kinds got on track. It was xmas time after all. So by January 1 I was down to 126.1 kilos. At this time I decided to do the gyms 12 week challenge which started in March, and also my trainer mentioned a company she had heard of called Equalution.
I started the 12 week challenge having lost a few more calories. I was pumped. I had the meal plan and followed it to a T. That first week I lost 3 kilos (woo hoo) but over the next 3 weeks I was slowly gaining it back. I was SO frustrated. I knew I was eating what I was told to eat, I knew I was exercising - but in all honesty just wasnt feeling this eating program was right for me.
I felt I needed a program that was quite specific in telling me what to eat but I knew I needed to eat foods I enjoy. For a few months I had been researching Equalution. I read thru their entire facebook page, checked out the #equalution hash tag on instagram and read thru their website. My gut instinct was to try Equalution but it was expensive and I wasnt positive it would work for me. But then one morning I woke and knew it was what I needed to try. So i messaged my trainer and told her my plan, and signed up for Equalution.
I can now say (I am on week 14) without a doubt it has been the best decision i have EVER made.
Prior to equalution I was very restrictive with my food, eating low calories, not eating grains in the evenings, not eating processed meats, not eating asian sauces, restricting dairy (specifically cheese), vigilantly monitoring my sodium.
I never felt satisfied. I was always hungry and looking for new ways I could fit more foods into my limited calorie budget. I would often eat well for a few days and then binge.
I decided on a thursday to start Equalution the following monday and in the two days before that I definitely binged. From memory it was pizza, garlic bread, chips, and chocolate.
I started on that monday morning March 20. From my very first day I have never felt a inclination to go off track (trust me this has NEVER happened to me before), I was eating yummy foods, healthy and considered not so healthy. I noticed not only was I losing on the scales and centimetres I was developing a better relationship with food. I wasnt worried when something was high in sodium or wasnt concerned when I ate pasta in the evening :) Things were going great and continue to go great.
So how did I get back on track in the end? I identified the "emotional issue" that was preventing me of being productive and proactive, I got the exercise in check and then I eventually found what worked for me nutrition wise. What works for me wont necessarily work for you - thats the most important thing - find what works for you (from the girl who was previously considering weight loss surgery!)

Rise of the Runelords
Welcome to Rise of the Runelords, and welcome to Obsidian Portal! I'll be using this wiki to post summaries of our sessions, as well as provide (possibly too much) information about the people, places, and miscellany of the campaign.
What I write will be pretty sparse, and will likely focus directly on the story. However, this is a wiki, so it's available for everyone to edit! If you want to go into your character's page and write up a bio, you're free to do so. Hero Points are available for a full biography, and others for character portraits!
As the campaign continues, Hero Points will also be available for those who volunteer to write Adventure Logs for the previous session. As a GM I'm often too focused on the crunch of running a campaign to note any details you might otherwise pick up.
If there are any wiki pages you feel need to be created, you may do that, as well, or ask me to write one up.

71 THE TOMB OF SAINT CERASUS THE LOVELY. The walls are covered with frescoes depicting a beautiful maiden performing miracles: healing the sick, banishing storms, and fighting devils with a thin cherry tree branch. In the center of the room is a catafalque supporting the reclining marble statue of the maiden from the frescoes.
It bears the caption "St. Cerasus". The statue holds in her hands living cherry blossoms. Those who smell the flowers will be healed 1d4+1 hit points and gain a single extra hit point permanently. This is a once in a life time effect only. Non-player characters will also have their morale elevated by 25% for the next 24 hours.
Anyone defiling the place, breaking the statue to look for the saint's bones, or attempting similar actions must save vs death magic at -4 or suffer a potent curse: the permanent loss of 1d4 ability score points (choose attributes randomly or DM choice).

I call this dish green shrimp, despite the fact that the shrimp is clearly not the green element. It's an old favorite that I haven't made in years (and never made fresh from scratch), and a nice glass of wine and an empty house has a knack for making me go on a cooking binge.
The ingredients? A homemade pesto and some lovely shrimp - that's it! Light, bright, delicious.
For Pesto:
2 c basil leaves - I estimated this to be anywhere between 20 or 30 leaves, depending on a) how big the leaves are and b) how basil-y you like your pesto
2 c flat leaf Italian parsley (one bunch should do it - just rip the leaves from the stems!)
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed or diced
1/4 c toasted pine nuts (walnuts or cashews would work too - 1 minute on the stove over high heat. Roughly chop before adding to the pesto if using walnuts or cashews)
3/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1 c fresh grated parmesean cheese (note: reserve a solid palmful for topping your pasta!)
2 tbs butter
1 lb shrimp, uncooked, peeled and deveined
1 loving pinch red pepper flakes
1 box (1 pound) whole wheat fettucini (your favorite pasta of course will do!)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Bring 5-6qts of water in a large pan to boil
2. While waiting, begin to peel/devein shrimp if your market didn't sell them so. I find it easiest to run a paring knife down the back where the vein is just to the base of the tail. The shell and tail will pull right off and you'll have a lovely butterfly shape!
3. When water comes to boil, add fettucini with liberal pinch of salt and a tbsp of olive oil. 10 minutes for al dente, but test-it at nine (it should have a slight bite to it)
4. While pasta cooks, in blender or food processor, add basil and parsley. Chop 5-6 times or until slightly broken up. Scrape sides of processor and toss in toasted nuts. Chop another 5-6 times and add garlic cloves and most of the cheese. Continue chopping until all bits are roughly the same sides. Scrape down sides of appliance and begin to slowly drizzle in olive oil. You may not need the full 3/4 cup - eyeball it until your pesto has the consistency of... hmm... a really grainy yogurt!
5. Melt 2 tbs butter over medium high heat. Add your shrimp and toss to coat. They're done when they're slightly pink and no longer opaque - 2 minutes a side, or no more than 4 minutes total (overcooked shrimp SUCKS). Just before finishing, add pinch salt, cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes. Toss again to coat.
6. Drain pasta when done and transfer to serving dish. Toss with your finished pesto until all noodles are coated evenly. Top with shrimp. Serve immediately with reserved parmesean cheese to garnish!
Bon appetit!

Maybe less people would be consumed if each member was forced to post their personal level, and the amount of kills they have? What ashamed that new people become casualties and build up the body count of those who are familiar with the map, and use the innocence of those entering to boost their ranking by killing them before they even learn how to use their weapons (yep, I'm still bitter!!!).Advertisements

Dr Pablo Lamata is a lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and a Sir Henry Dale Fellow. His research on personalising surgery for babies born with a serious heart disease is funded by Action Medical Research and as part of this was invited along to a reception at Buckingham Palace to present his work.
As researchers, it is our duty to transmit our passion for our work, to tell the rest of society about the challenging problems we are addressing, and the very exciting pathways we are taking to tackle them. This duty became an extremely fulfilling experience on 4th May 2016, when we had the chance to directly transmit this passion to the Duke of Edinburgh and to guests at a reception that was held at Buckingham Palace.
The reception was organised by Action Medical Research, a charity that funds a project about the use of computational models to improve surgical decisions at our Department of Biomedical Engineering. The event brought together the trustees, the donors and the researchers funded by the charity. As researchers, we had the chance to meet the altruist people that are making our progress possible and to directly thank them for their support. We provided them with a wide portfolio of research activities that are being conducted in order to improve the life and health of children, which is the focus of Action Medical Research.
The event was perfectly organised, down to the last inch. His Royal Highness is an extraordinary person, with 94 years on his shoulders, and sharp to provide a speech, to meet each of the 100 guests that were in the room, and to follow our scientific explanations of our research. We heard some very nice words from Prof. David Edwards, reminding us of the importance of medical research and the charity's work to save and change the lives of sick and disabled babies and children.
We would like to thank once more Action Medical Research, its altruist donors, and everybody that is making our research work possible!

Simply Stated has a great post on 25 Vintage Houseware Shops on Etsy. In that list I discovered Arthur's Circus, the "lovers of all things vintage, old and neglected." I love how they display their wonderful items - the colors are equally amazing.
When discussing my vintage finds, my Dad said my style was "campy" (in a good way). I feel these items are kind of campy and definitely right up my alley. So, if you are traveling this weekend and can't get your vintage fix - check out Arthur's Circus instead. They have an etsy shop, lovely website, another online shop, and even a blog!
Are you guys flipping out yet?! I know I am - check out more Arthur's Circus.Have a great weekend!

Nashville's home ice woes continued last night with a frustrating 3-2 loss to Phoenix. Games between the Coyotes and Predators are always close with Barry Trotz and Dave Tippett playing a chess match type game that is not always an exciting brand of hockey but very effective in both teams taking away time and space from the other.
Goals generally come from mistakes and that was the case again last night. The Predators fought back twice but were finally sunk on a goal from Keith Yandle with 1:45 left in the contest during a pre-overtime look at the four on four after coincidental penalties to Adrian Aucoin and Sergei Kostitsyn from a skirmish behind the Coyotes net.
One thing that was fully agreed upon on Bloggers Row last night was that Aucoin should get the "pink panty" award for picking a fight with Kostitsyn, who has only one NHL regular season fight, which was on January 22, 2008 against Chuck Kobasew where he never threw a punch.
The Predators are not very good in overtime or on the four on four so Aucoin drawing Kostitsyn into a pushing match was all it took to set the stage for plenty of open ice and the Yotes winning goal.
The Predators head to Columbus tonight to face an improved Blue Jackets team on Thursday night before returning home for a four game home stand that starts Saturday against the Ducks where the team will hope to change their luck at Bridgestone Arena.

Epic Sports Fail in the Tulsa World: Columnist Hoover's OU Prediction Blows Up—Way, Way Up
But we can't resist a little snarkiness in the wake of sports columnist John Hoover's bold predictions about the Red River Rivalry.
Writing in Saturday's Tulsa World, Hoover was unequivocal: OU would win—no doubt, no question.
Here's the lead sentence of his column, written hours before the kickoff: "This year's Red River Rivalry is already over."
Hoover went on: "And the Sooners won. Again."
The Sooners are better prepared, Hoover wrote. OU has a better quarterback, a better offensive line, and a better defense, he said. And this: OU "owns every mental edge and emotional advantage."
With OU a 14-point favorite, the final score should be, in Hoover's words, "a mere formality." Mac Brown's Texas Longhorns were desperate, Hoover concluded. Bob Stoops has Brown's number.
Bold words from a columnist who knows his football. Then they played the game.
In case you missed it, Texas dominated. The final score was 36-20—a Texas "blowout," as Hoover admitted in Sunday's column. Curiously, he didn't mention his bold Saturday predictions.
How do you like your crow, Mr. Hoover? You might try it with a little Texas hot sauce. Enjoy.

Photo a day.....1st September.
I have not been well. Vertigo problems. I have not felt like taking photos or gardening. I have however been able to sit and finish my Quilt. This is for a friend who got married in January 2006, so it is long overdue.
I collected the fabrics for her over many years, ready for when she got married, then she upped and married a bit quick so I wasn't able to finish the most ambitious one I have done yet in time for her wedding.
I'll be taking it to her next week. It is a surprise (she knows it's coming but not what it looks like) so please all those of you who know her don't let her see this. I know she won't find it on her own as she doesn't surf!
I enjoyed every minute of the time it has taken, and it goes to her with all my love and best wishes for a long and happy marriage.
I hope my balance problems will soon let me get back to my gardening. All I can manage at the moment is a bit of harvesting of crops. And I can't drive either.....what a pain!

Tomorrow I am volunteering on the ChIPS camp. I am super excited! Camp is always an amzing, inspirational experience for me, and for the others who attend.
Here is me at the previous camp last year. I was about to be hoisted up in a harness to 10 meters off the ground.
I'll let you all know how camp was when I return.

A three member panel of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) heard the case of Alla Pitcherskaia, a 33-year old Lesbian from Russia, on March 16. Her attorney, Ignatius Bau of the lawyers Committee for Civil Rights told the panel that Pitcherskaia had been repeatedly arrested, subjected to involuntary psychiatric treatment, expelled from medical college, kidnapped and assaulted because she is a Lesbian and has a high visibility role in Gay Activism in Russia.
Pitcherskaia is associated with at least two Gay political organizations in Russia and operated a small goods store, whose success apparently also brought her trouble. According to her attornies, she was repeatedly harassed by the Russian Mafia, and arrested and charged with 'hooliganism' by the police. She came to the United States in March 1992, with plans to return; but while here, she learned that the Russian Mafia had burned down her store. Pitcherskaia applied for asylum, but her application was denied, first by the Immigration and naturalization Service (INS) and then on appeal last June, by an immigration judge. The immigration judge ruled that while Pitcherskaia had been subjected to harassment and discrimination, those incidents did not constitute persecution per se.
In response to a question from one of the panelists, Bau conceded that the sexual orientation discrimination alone would not necessarily constitute persecution. But, he said, the "totality of circumstances" in Pitcherskaia's case do. Bau said he was not arguing that all Gay men and Lesbians are persecuted in Russia, but that Pitcherskaia is being harassed because of her sexual orientation, her membership in a social group comprised of gays and lesbians and her voluntary association with other gays.
The United Nations requires countries to grant asylum to individuals who face persecution for at least one of five reasons:
The first person to win an appeal to stay in this country because of persecution for being gay was a gay cuban man. An immigration judge in Houston in 1986 barred the INS from deporting him. Although the INS appealed, the BIA, in March 1990, affirmed the judge's decision, which recognized Gays as a 'particular social group.' The man had not sought asylum, Bau said, because he was ineligible, having been convicted of a crime; but the decision did prevent him from being deported.
In July 1993, another immigration judge, this one in San Francisco, granted asylum to a Brazilian Gay man. And, in March 1994, a Mexican Gay man became the first to win an asylum order directly from the INS. Still, the INS had not adopted the policy that Gays would be considered a "particular social group" for the purposes of seeking asylum. Instead, they considered each person on a case-by-case basis.
But in June 1994, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno announced that the Department of Justice, under which the INS operates, would accept, as policy, that people persecuted for being Gay could be considered as people being persecuted because of membership in a social group. That eliminated the necessity of each Gay person seeking asylum to prove that his or her case fell under the "social group" category.
Two months after Reno's order, an immigration judge in New York City granted political asylum to a Pakistani Gay man. Bau said the INS has since granted asylum to four other Gay men.
Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund attorney Suzanne Goldberg, who served as co-counsel for Pitcherskaia, says Pitcherskaia's application hit rougher waters primarily because she filed it before Attorney General Reno's policy change. But, said Goldberg, if Pitcherskaia had sought asylum based on any other ground other than sexual orientation, "her application would likely have been granted, because she has experienced past persecution and there is a clear threat that she would be persecuted for being a Lesbian if she were returned to Russia."
Goldberg said it may be helpful to other cases that INS counsel Briggs ackowledged that sexual orientation "is a fundamental aspect of personhood." "That's important," said Goldberg, "because it recognizes that sexual orientation is not a matter of fleeting sexual preference or superficial desire, but rather an integral part of someone's identity."

My favorite part of Christmas is seeing all my family who live far away all gathered at my grandmother's house.
I laughed when I read the intro to your post, because I wanted to donate blood a few days ago and couldn't because apparently I was in Europe at a time when Mad Cow Disease was prevalent. (???)
Anyway, I'll post a link on my sidebar. Wish I could help you with the header and button, but my Photoshop skills are extreemly elementary. Happy Holidays! :)

"Living for the City" / Stevie Wonder
I grew up with Stevie Wonder. First he was Little Stevie Wonder, Motown's 12-year-old genius, doing "Fingertips" on TV (I just thought he wore those sunglasses to be cool, until my mother set me straight). A blind black child prodigy seemed just a novelty, though; it wasn't until the later 60s, when his voice changed and he started that amazing run of hits (""For Once in My Life," "My Cherie Amour," "Signed, Sealed, Delivered") that I sat up and took notice, even in the midst of my Beatlemania. And then, just as I began to itch to leave the nest and go to college, Stevie turned 21 and struck out on his own, re-negotiating his Motown deal to obtain artistic control.
Artistic control – wasn't that what we all wanted in 1971? Except what I did with it was a few not-half-bad English papers; what Stevie did with it was Talking Book. And then Innervisions. No one since the Beatles had written entire albums that scored so high on both social meaning and sing-along-ability. By the time Stevie hit Songs In the Key of Life, I felt like the kid down the street had just earned the Nobel Peace Prize.
By then I'd outgrown commercial Motown and discovered "real" blues, but Stevie's politics earned him a free pass. Why a pampered child prodigy should be an authority on ghetto life I don't know, but I believed it when Stevie sang it. This song in particular, which clocks in at 7:03, was an entire mini-opera. It begins at the beginning, naturally, with a hardscrabble childhood in the rural South (Stevie, by the way, was born in Saginaw, Michigan, far from Hardtime, Mississippi) – it's like a Richard Wright novel, piling up the injustices, the father's low-wage 14-hour days, his mother scrubbing floors for the white lady, his sister wearing secondhand clothes, his brother unemployed because "where he lives / They don't use colored people."
Oddly enough, coming from a tunesmith like Stevie Wonder, this song's not much on melody – the verses are like talking blues, though the chorus is more catchy. The real hook is the repeated synthesizer riff, a jazzlike fanfare melting through several chord changes. Notice how Stevie's voice gets a harder edge as his protagonist gets older and more frustrated with life. Eventually things slide into a long musical interlude, simmering synthesizers and counterpointed vocals, propelled by that same hard-driving beat that's hustled us along from the start.
By all rights the song should be over now, but no – now our hero arrives in the city, the promised land. In an awed voice Stevie exclaims "Wow! New York, just like I pictured it -- skyscrapers and ev'rything" (a line that became my personal slogan for several years) as the track evolves into a cinema verite montage: sound effects of a bus pulling into Port Authority, a street hustler's jive patter, sirens wailing, the echoing whack of a gavel, and the clang of a prison door ("Get into that cell, nigger!") – boom boom boom, a swift and shocking series of events. By the time Stevie sings again, all that's left is a gruff vocal wreck. But our hero's still singing, damn it. He's still singing.
This one song telescopes 25 years of civil rights protests into one man's story, and I have to say, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" never reached me the way "Living for the City" did. Here I was, a white college girl identifying with these characters in a Motown song – but then, that was the early 70s, when we still hoped we were all on the same side. Well, some of us still do, thanks to Stevie Wonder. Maybe they should have given him a Nobel Prize.

Obama is Begging for ImpeachmentBy Alan Caruba
"However, these perceived justifications cited by Presidents when authoring Executive Orders have come under criticism for exceeding executive authority; at various times throughout U.S. history, challenges to the legal validity or justification for an order have resulted in legal proceedings."
I am not a Constitutional scholar, but I am aware of the consequences of past executive orders. The nation now has a rogue government agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, by virtue of an executive order by President Nixon. Later, President Carter reorganized the executive branch and created a separate Department of Education. Currently, executive orders permit the President to seize control of the entire nation in the event of an attack or the declaration of a national emergency.
Now we are told that President Obama is planning to issue up to nineteen executive orders to do an end run around Congress and the Second amendment on the issue of gun control. Whereas Social Security was often referred to as "the third rail" if presidents or Congress attempted to reform it, it would appear that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is the new third raid and touching it is likely to enflame both Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
Former Attorney General, Edwin Meese, recently went on record to say that the proposed executive orders would be an "impeachable offense." There is a growing chorus of resistance to Obama's "imperial presidency", but whether it is the executive orders or a judgment rendered by a forthcoming Supreme Court conference, it would appear that Obama has over-reached.
The Supreme Court has scheduled a conference—not a hearing—regarding a case that challenges President Obama's eligibility to be President. Court observers believe this will lead nowhere. If the justices were to favor elevating the case to a hearing that found Obama guilty, he could face impeachment hearings or possibly be summarily removed from office by Congress.
The Constitution says (Article II, Section 4) "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
The scheduling of a Supreme Court conference to discuss a lower court case has gone virtually unreported. The case is led by an attorney, Orly Taitz, and is called Noonan,Judd, MacLaren, Taitz v Bowen. Having made it to the highest court in the land, the Taitz asserts it will provide evidence to prove that "Barack Obama using a last name not legally his, forged a Selective Service application, forged a long form and short form birth certificate, and a Connecticut Social Security number, 042-68-4425, which was never assigned to him according to E-Verify and SSNVS."
The conference is scheduled for February 15, 2013. Obama will be sworn into office on January 21 and will deliver a State of the Union speech on February 12.
The conference arises out of a Fifth Circuit court of Appeals decision to agree to hear a petition for a Writ of mandamus to expedite a default judgment and post judgment discovery against the Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Michael J. Astrue, resulting from a previously filed case. Commissioner Astrue did not reply to Taitz's inquiry.
If the Court finds that the evidence of forged Social Security numbers Obama is alleged to have used over the years is valid and irrefutable, it would be scheduled for a hearing, but conferences are often meetings in which cases are returned to a lower court. It has taken four years just to be discussed in conference. Despite the weight of the evidence, it may go no where.
A hearing could generate a Constitutional crisis that could lead to Obama's impeachment and removal. It would mean that Obama was ineligible to run for office for both terms and would render his previous executive orders and the laws that he signed null and void.
Former President Nixon saw impeachment proceedings initiated in the wake of the Watergate scandal and resigned to avoid that fate. He was later pardoned by Gerald Ford. President Clinton faced an impeachment in the wake of the Lewinski affair, but Congress gave him a pass on it.
This year could initiate a political tsunami that would engulf the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the presidency.
For many the Supreme Court is seen as a politicized entity. The failure to take up the case regarding Obama's eligibility would damage the integrity of the Court in the same way the ruling that Obamacare was a "tax" evoked a loss of faith in its judgment—or it might go unreported and the public remain unaware of it.
A constitutional crisis is looming. Only the Congress has the power to pass laws. If the President ignores Congress and issues executive orders that impose new restrictions on the Second Amendment, the people of the United States will have lost the power of the Constitution to protect them. There are already legislators prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings if he does.

This .class file is nothing but byte code(combination of 0s and 1s)
This byte code is platform independent that means we can run the same .class file in any operating system like windows, linux, mac etc
Then the java virtual machine interprites the code and generates the required output.
So java is both compiled and interprited language.
Bytecodes are the machine language of the Java virtual machine.
When a JVM loads a class file, it gets one stream of bytecodes for each method in the class. The bytecodes streams are stored in the method area of the JVM.
A method's bytecode stream is a sequence of instructions for the Java virtual machine. Each instruction consists of a one-byte opcode followed by zero or more operands. The opcode indicates the action to take.

PCCX went out without so much as a whimper. Gee, that went well. Congratulations to those of you who accomplished things. I did too, a couple, but not near "enough". Story of my life, great plans, lousy follow-through.
This time of year is both my least and most favorite. Least because I'm looking back at what didn't get done all year, and most because it's a time for all sorts of planning and whatnot. Yay, goals.
Speaking of this time of year, does anyone else realize that Winter PCCX is supposed to start in 3 weeks? I had the thought a while ago that it might be time to shake things up and change the way it goes, but I've had zero ideas on how to do that. So please, anybody, toss in your thoughts. Please. Pretty please?

The NETT news desk got a great story filed in from Jack Burke, a guy who's never afraid to mix it up on multiple surfaces--and multiple continents apparently. Here's Jack's report:
Jenn and I took 63 kids to London over the Feb break (Editor's Note: Jack and Jenn are teachers, not kidnappers). That in itself was a feat of endurance. I managed to run a cross country race on the outskirts of London with some of our high school runners in the group. UK Cross Country is an animal unlike any cross country experience that exists over here. Our kids who usually run 5:50's ran over 8 minutes and I hobbled through 5 miles barely hitting 9:30's.
We were woefully unprepared - the English runners had spikes the size of pencils and the terrain was like running through a damp marsh after several weeks of rain. So with each step you sunk in a few feet and slipped at the same time. We ran this in trainers ;-)...I was able to redeem myself at the Amherst Ten Miler - not sure I saw any other NETT folk out there - I think you guys were all on the Cape. I ran 7:45's over ten miles thanks to all the good training I suffered through with you guys over the winter. I was happy with that time given the course was very tough. I think this would be a good course to have a team at in the future - it's seems like a very NETT type event - lots of huge hills, dirt roads and some good straightaways to make up time.

by Maire Fisher
He wakes up tired and sits a while on the edge of the bed, hands loose in his lap, his feet planted on the floor. These are the moments he likes, when the ground feels firm, before he has to stand. His heart moves in his chest and he feels it for it, tries to listen to it, his hand straying to the space between the buttons on his pyjamas, finding its way to puckers of warm skin. He pulls himself up, leaning on the dressing table, making sure he is steady, balanced, before he puts his first foot forward. Through the thin net of the curtains he sees the sky, brilliant and blue above the mountain. He will make his way now to the sitting room, slide open the glass door, walk out onto the veranda and from there look out to where the sea lies, beyond the glossy canopy of the Milkwood trees.
Maire Fisher lives in Cape Town, close to the sea. She's a freelance editor who wishes someone from a large publishing company was editing her novel.

Author: D.E. Night
Series: Croswald, #1
Publisher: Stories Untold Press
Publication Date: July 21, 2017
Synopsis: In Croswald, the only thing more powerful than dark magic is one secret…
For sixteen years Ivy Lovely has been hidden behind an enchanted boundary that separates the mundane from the magical. When Ivy crosses the border, her powers awaken. Curiosity leads her crashing through a series of adventures at the Halls of Ivy, a school where students learn to master their magical blood and the power of Croswald's mysterious gems. When Ivy's magic––and her life––is threatened by the Dark Queen, she scrambles to unearth her history and save Croswald before the truth is swept away forever.
The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night arrived along with some amazing goodies! I am absolutely in love with my gorgeous glowing glanagerie bottle and I am excited to dive into this fantasy story to learn more it's magical properties. :)
Author Interview:
1. What inspired you to write The Crowns of Croswald?
I have always found joy in being creative, art projects and things like that. But more than that, I've always loved stories, mostly my favorite animated movies. I'm a Disney fanatic. My draw toward fantasy and my creative drive sort of forced me to start writing. For me, it's not just about the writing, it's about creating characters, designing scenes, and imagining everything and anything magical. Croswald is basically me in a book––fairy tale with an edge. I love fashion, fairy tales, anything that sparkles, and I especially love magic.
2. What was your favorite part about creating the world of Croswald?
I'm so grateful to be one of those people that really truly loves what they're doing. My favorite part of this whole experience is seeing pieces of my world come to life, whether in the form of illustrations or being able to hold a physical book in hand. It's like a dream. I also love the process of creating characters and naming them. I have a lot of fun with that.
3. Tell us more about creating a character. What sort of process do you go through?
Well, I don't know if it's a process exactly. It always seems sort of like randominspiration. For example, eating dinner beside my 11-year-old brother who loves butter and bread. Emphasis on the butter. Readers get to meet Woodley Butterlove and understand how my little brother inspired such a character.
4. Ivy is a strong, inspirational character. How do you think she grows throughout the book, and what would you like the reader to take away from that?
I think a lot of people's natural talent is hindered by self-doubt. I think for Ivy Lovely, the first book is all about discovery and uncovering her hidden talents. It's all about taking that first step and trusting your gut. I like to think that her first stride across the slurry fields may speak to a reader waiting to take the first step in their own adventure. Everyone should get the chance to step into something magical.
5. As a debut author, what surprised you most about the writing process for The Crowns of Croswald?
Probably my patience. I think people often get deterred by the time it takes to complete something. It's taken me three and a half years to get to this point and I was surprised by how calm I was throughout the whole process. Excited, but calm.
6. This is the first book in a series. Without giving too much away, what do you have in store for your readers as the series evolves?
Of course, readers will get to join Ivy on her adventures of discovery through Croswald, full of weird and whacky character. Also a lot of magic and new inventions. The final show down with the dark Queen is going to be spectacular!
7. Your love of magic and fantasy is apparent in your writing. How did your love of magic develop?
I spent every birthday visiting theme parks with my best friends. My mom would pick us up early from school and we'd spend a day in a place of total imagination. That world offantasy seemed so vibrant and I always dreamed of creating a place one day where people can visit. When I wrote, I always wrote keeping that in mind. Where can people visit? What can they see when they go there? Like I said, I love being creative and writing a book seemed the perfect fit. Besides being a Disney fanatic, I love that, with magic, anything is possible.
8. The Crowns of Croswald follows the adventures of Ivy Lovely, a strong heroine who is full of spirit and unwavering courage. Can you tell us more about her and how her character came about?
The reader meets Ivy when she's unsure, held back, and lonely. Through the course of The Crowns of Croswald, we get to see Ivy become who she is meant to be: impulsive but smart, studious but adventurous. She doesn't know it yet, but those are the very traits that will save her kingdom. She trusts her gut and that gets her pretty far in life, but she learns to ask for help along the way. Most importantly, she's compassionate and funny: two must-haves in any friend, in my opinion.
9. If you could give readers one message to inspire them from your book, what would it be?
Believe in the magic of your dreams.
-Kristen ♥

August 10, 17, and 24 (Monday) | 6:00-8:00 | $75
There are still two spots available in this class.
This class is not for the new knitter; but it would be great for someone already experienced with casting on, both the knit and purl stitches, and increasing and decreasing. During the three weeks of this class a sock will be made using double-pointed needles and sport-weight yarn.
Week one will be casting on, learning how to handle the double-pointed needles, and knitting the cuff (homework will include knitting the leg of the sock to the length you would like).
Week two will be working the heel flap and turning the heel, picking up stitches along the heel flap, and doing the gusset decreases (homework will include finishing the gusset decreasing and knitting the foot of the sock to within two inches of your foot length).
Week three will be decreasing for the toe, and the Kitchener stitch closing of the toe.
What you need to know how to do:
- cast on
- the knit stitch
- the purl stitch
What we'll teach you how to do:
- how to knit on double-pointed needles
- basic sock construction
- how to knit socks
What materials are included:
- the pattern
- a skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport
- appropriate needles
Homework is required in this class, so be prepared to spend some time outside of class knitting!
Classes do fill up early; so please reserve your space in the class by paying in advance as it is unlikely we will be able to accommodate walk-ins. Payment is required within 7 days of signing up for the class or within one week before the class begins (whichever comes first). All classes limited to five people unless otherwise stated. A minimum of 2 students is required for most classes to take place. If the minimum for a class is not reached within 48 hours of the class, we will cancel the class and contact you in regards to rescheduling or a refund. Individual classes/lessons available by request (prices may vary). Homework is required in most of our classes; we know that all of you have busy schedules but please be sure to allow time to finish the work needed for classes.

So we are four days into 2013 and I have to say I am slightly relieved to have the happy thoughts daily quote project over. I've been debating on what to do with this blog now. Do I publish last year and then delete the blog and let someone else have a go at the url? Do I come up with another project? Do I let it sit here stagnant and collect dust?
Anyway, this is just me sitting here on a Friday night wondering what is to become of this blog. I've had a few ideas but none that I have gotten as excited about as I did last year around this time. So stay tuned... there may be nothing here for a while but when inspiration hits, there will be something.
So here's to the start of something exciting, whatever it is.

This Is Not News. This Is 21st Century Bear Baiting.
The first coverage I saw was on CNN. Yes, my wife was at the controls once again, channels going by at eyebat speed while I was trying to read. So I was already slightly irritated. I admit when it comes to irritation you have to grade me on a curve.
A couple years back the fine folks at Comcast decided to rearrange all the channels for our convenience, grouping channels by "type". Naturally they did a half-assed job, and that sort of division really makes no sense unless you're going to do some maintenance from time to time, which they aren't, but for our purposes it explains why all the cable news channels are at the upper end of the dial, the place where she stops, turns around, and heads back the way she came. And one of the things guaranteed to irritate me more than using the teevee as a manually-operated strobe light is seeing cable news. And she stopped on CNN, and here's the delightful feature story on the poor heartbroken crew that caught an 1191 pound tiger shark, only to arrive six minutes late to claim the $85,000 prize. Later I got to see the same footage and the same "gee whiz wouldja look at that big fish" coverage on local news, and again, somehow, on CBS.
This is not a bleeding heart issue. If it were not the case that large coastal sharks are overfished this would simply be more disgraceful behavior from Homo yahooensis. But they are overfished, in no small part because of some stupid thirty-year-old movie and the generation of mindless sensationalism in its wake. If in the 21st century we have not reached the point where fishermen themselves are the first to protect ecological balance then those big brains of ours serve only to increase the price of hats. I'm sure the relevant laws and regulations were observed as scrupulously as they usually are, maybe a bit more so as we could hope such whoop-de-dos might draw an increased amount of scrutiny.
But that isn't my point. What beyond slack-jawed gawking was the point of the story? If you can't give a report on PETA's activities without calling it "the controversial animal rights group" then this shit is controversial too. This magnificent monster was swimming in the ocean where God put him, and he's killed by a bunch whose greatest risk is the ice will melt and the beer will get warm, and it's news? Congratulations on helping to breed a whole new generation who'll want to go out and kill things to get their pictures on teevee. When they jump into the water naked and wrestle the thing barehanded, call me. Then it'll be a sport.
Then there's the local news angle. I saw it on the CBS affiliate, WISH-TV, which was obviously concerned that some local jaw might go undropped in the central Indiana audience. Debby Knox read the story. Debby was Indianapolis' first female anchor. Is this why? So someone minus a Y chromosome can read whatever the suits think will sell toilet paper? Debby, do you personally go out and slaughter animals for sport? For the sake of winning valuable prizes and fifteen minutes of fame?
Was this your career goal, to become the barker at a geek show? To read this crap in between breathless updates on the new CBS fall schedule and touting the latest breakthroughs in vanity surgeries under the rubric of "health" reporting? So you could cash a check without ID anywhere in Central Indiana? Job well done.

Geeks had some dignity. Killing this amazing animal doesn't.
Shark Week, all this week, has focused mainly on "Wow, look at them teeth!" and it very clearly contributes to this shit, regardless of how many low-key World Wildlife Fund commercials the Mythbusters guys do while you're scrounging for another beer.
The one show that might have done these pinheads some good was the rerun of the two year old program that points out that large tigers are *nomadic* and *exceptionally rare*, and while, yes, they have been known to kill humans, we've yet to catch the goddamned shark that did it, despite our great joy in yanking every damned fish from the water for months, every time it happens.
Honestly, the number of sharks we kill, and the asinine things we kill them for, I think we owe them a few people. And I say this as someone who swims in the ocean. We owe an awful lot of wildlife an awful lot of housepets and hikers to even *begin* to even out the misery we've caused them--and that's ignoring the damage we do to ourselves and our planet by demanding we remain the unchallenged top predator.
We're not. And any fucking moron trying to prove we are with a gun or a power winch or a longline is an asshole.
To add prize money to it is obscene, considering fuckwits like Doug Giles will go shoot canned wildebeest anyway just to prove he's got a dick.
In twenty years, assuming we're all still here, Jaws will be the world's stupidest novel, as people pick it up, read the back coevr, and say, "Oh, sure, killer sharks."
All we'll have left is spiny dogfish, assuming we don't get desperate enough to start eating those in hugely unsustainable numbers too. Shark attack? Sure.
The Great White Hunters and the fear junkies are no better at realizing their jones depends on the thing they're killing than the fishermen.
They're beautiful animals. All of them. Even the goblin shark. Even the long nosed chimera, and the bat ray. If we're ready to give up being able to see them, or even just to know they're out there, it's past time for something to give up on us.

Those winch shots always get to me too. Fishing is very brutal. I can't stand it.

The lovely Samantha asked me to make a golden wedding card for her parents and sent me some photos to include.
It's an 8x8" card base with cream bazzill and gold mirri board layered and edged with a Martha Stewart punch around the page set.
The letters and numbers are die cut
The flowers are from a Heartfelt creations die which I have shaped and layered. The centre is from a different die and I added pearls to the middles.
Lots of die cut fronds and punched leaves were added too.
I dotted some tiny gems around and added some lovely glittery stickles to finish the card.
Happy Anniversary Rita and husband!
