The wiring is reversed on this light assembly, not a deal breaker, but a pain in the ass. If you're not paying attention, the running light will be the brake light, you'll be driving around with the brake light on and never notice. It doesn't come with a gasket to interface between the fender and light assembly. Overall it is very original, inexpensive and works just fine.
the 2 brass contacts for the bulb are very flimsy and a poor substitute from the original solid contacts from the original
great item, fit perfect. I just wish I knew it didn't come with a new fender to taillight gasket.
Nice product. Ended up cutting the harness off my old taillight and soldering it into the new one, so it's now plug and play. Quality seems nice, bright chrome. New part from JP was much less than play wheel of crap on -bay...
Did not have the gasket as listed in the description but other than that this is a great product. It did include the speed nuts that weren't listed in the description.
good product very fast shipping
Works great and received in a timely manner
Quality looks good. Did not need to use it. Problem turned out to be in the wiring.
great replacement part
Only issue I have is the mounting. Smooth post with no threads for the sheetmetal nuts to thread on to . These bikes vibrate and the nuts loosen up because they just don't bite into the studs enough. Other than that, Chris products rock from the USA!
Change in design for this part. Had to correct wiring, as red wire should be STOP and greed wire is running light. Simple fix if caught early! Quality part and chrome. Design change is in mounting. Tough choice whether to cut and drill out tangs or use possible flimsy compression clips. Tangs don't fit holes in fender, not looking forward to drilling on newly painted fender to fit. Only part available at this price.
Awesome taillight!
fit perfectly on 77 sporty
Tail light was perfect,
Received In a timely manner and in excellent shape. Mounted quickly without any problems.
Perfect fit
Great Value and fit perfect what more could you want!
Great OEM replacement. Everything needed included. J&P comes through as usual.
Fit Perfectly
good looking , functions well, quick ship, price is comparable to most.
The assembly was well constructed and had all of the nessesary hardware. The instrallation was quick and easy. Nice looking light! and the order arrived within a week.
Looks just like the 20 year old original I needed to replace except that it's brighter.
now i have lights....awsum thanku
Direct fit, no modifications. Good looking assembly
Awesome Taillight! I do wish they would have put the gasket in the bundle and just charged two more bucks as thats what they cost,but as far as product and shipping,it was awesome and will buy from them again!!Thank you
wiring is not as stock. Wire reverse and works fine.
Good Quality. Great Fit
No complaints
Tail light is good but the pig tail is cheap.
it good
Excellent quality. Does not match the curve of the fender but hardly noticable on a dark colored bike.
Had a hard time finding a original taillight for 2000 Sportster. This light is a good quality light and looks good on the bike. had to swith the tail and brake light wire.
Looks good - turned out I didn't need it at this time - quick inspection and it looks like a quality hardware with all the pieces included
Very nice reproduction piece. Identical to original.
nice oem replacment. conture against back fender is a little off but no one will ever notice. could have provided a better ground connection.
Pretty decent part. It fit well and is fairly bright.
The wiring of this taillight did not match the factory wiring on my 92 FLHS. To work correctly I hade to connect the wiring red to green & green to red.
Thought it was my brake light sending unit when all I needed was this beauty. Great job.
No problems, good product
No problems with this item! It works just fine for me. Thanks.
Doesn't conform exactly to the contour of the fender, making small gaps on the verical sides. It is nice and bright though. The self threading cap nuts for mounting are questionable on durability against vibration (on a Harley, imagine that). Nice replacement for the money, kept me on the road and that's what matters.
After connecting red to red and black to black ,install was easy. Turn bike on, turn headlight on and tail light was really bright, no brake light,. What I found was in the tail light, the red and black wires were reversed,. Put them in their right place and now it works great.
Very nice piece. Worked well.
I don't like the cheap mounting screws. The light itself is good.
Good stock replacement. Easy to install.

On Visiting friends @ Zoo Negara, Malaysia
It has been 10 years back my last visit to the Zoo Negara (National Zoo of Malaysia) which located @ Northeast of Kuala Lumpur.
It has been 10 years back my last visit to the Zoo Negara (National Zoo of Malaysia) which located @ Northeast of Kuala Lumpur.
Never been to Zoo Negara. Looks nice
I'm suddenly humming the KFC-Zoo Negara song...
wah.. at first i thought the song u had for ur video is some aboriginal ugandan song. :p
and wat's with the hippo's butt???
that wee-wee-exposing creature must be you friend, hahaha!! :p
you have alex, melman and gloria, where is marty??
What's the meaning of the caption for the giraffe?
I've never been to Zoo Negara for more than 10 years, I think. probably longer than you! But the last time I went there, it wasn't very nice! Maybe it had improved?
However, I prefer Singapore Zoo - very well maintained and clean. Plus their Birdpark and Night Safari were very good! Hope Malaysia Zoo can be as good as them!
So can you tell me what the animal in the last picture is doing?
It was years ago the last time I went there. It was always fun to be at Zoo when I was much younger. Perhaps 20 years back? Hehe. Oh yea..where's my Marty? Alex was bored, Melman was sleepy and Gloria was angry.
Borneo Falcon: Come over to KL and Let's go to the Zoo :)
William: I know what you were humming " Let's go to the zoo, there's lots of thing to do... blah blah blah" hehehe :p
Medie007: You don't recognize the song eh! ... hahaha it's Circle of Life from Lion King Sound Track.
SK: Marty is in the Video... He was showing his butt :p
FoongPC: hahaha... where is the giraffe came from ... Africa :p So the caption is in Luganda... " Hello! My name is Giraffe" I haven't been to Singapore Zoo for a while too... :p
K|E|E|N|Y|E|E : Dude, let me look around and see whether i could get your Marty ... hehehe :p Will let you know once i get your Marty eh! At the meantime you can see Marty butt in the clip ... huhahaha :p
Hey your photos are fantastic! Your captions made them hilarious dude! Well done & I will ask National Geographic to read your post if you don't mind.
applause. applause. clap hands. fantastic nature shots. u have done well here.
Twilight Zone: Thanks Thanks :)
Bengbeng: your clap clap so loud that i could heard .... Thanks Thanks :)
i like the monkey pic. can i borrow it to use?
wah the lion one really really nice lei! the bird and the chimp ones are nice too~ haiya all nice lah~ wakaka OH! FROG!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Tring- Tring, the phone rang…!
Too sleepy to even bother, I turned my phone down to put it to silent.
Too sleepy to even bother, I turned my phone down to put it to silent.
Tring- Tring, the phone rang again…!
This is just one big disadvantage of being used to the motion features on your phone. How can I turn down for silent when it is already turned down? Forcing my eyelids open, I grabbed it all fumed up with the caller calling so early in the morning. But the moment I saw the name 'Deepika' I jumped up. I had a date today and I had almost forgotten.
"I will be there in 30" I said and hung up. I did not have much time. Only a guy can know how to be perfectly ready for a date in just half an hour. I was sure Deepika had taken some 2-3 hours for the same when I looked at her waiting for me all enraged. But she looked cuter than ever.
Looking at me that anger turned into a blissful smile crafting the perfect most dimples one may ever have. Man! I was in love with her madly. I hugged her instantly and my world was complete. "Miss Deepika Padukone someday you will kill me with your dazzling smile." I said.
Tring- Tring, the phone rang…!
Almost jumping in my bed I noticed the display. It was Harshit. "Han bhai fir aaj movie chalen?" he asked. "Damn you! F##k off!" I hung up. I was annoyed of waking up from such a lovely dream. I had her in my arms. But I couldn't help but smile on assuming the reaction of Harshit after I hung up.

HOLLYWOOD — It had been a city on the skids but the hiring of its promising, charismatic, young City Manager Doug Hewett seemed to signal the end of crisis — until his Easter Sunday DUI arrest put his job on the line.
Hewett resigned Friday and went on immediate administrative leave. It was his fourteenth week on the job. His final day on the payroll will be June 8.

These are just my opinions. I cannot promise that I will be perfect, but I can promise that I will seek to understand and illuminate whatever moves that the Giants make (my obsession and compulsion). I will share my love of baseball and my passion for the Giants. And I will try to teach, best that I can. Often, I tackle the prevailing mood among Giants fans and see if that is a correct stance, good or bad.

GiDar: Henry Sosa
He broke into the limelight by "accident" last season: he was scheduled for a lower level when an injury led the Giants to place him at Augusta instead, where he was lights out pitching well, which earned him a promotion to San Jose. However, he cooled off there and should start the 2008 season in San Jose. However, he still represented the Giants in 2007's All-Star Future Game, so that showed how highly the organization thinks of him.
He was in the San Jose Mercury news recently - reported by the able Andrew Baggarly - because a surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in his left knee (could this have caused his problems in San Jose?) after last season slowed his preparations for this season. Thus, while he is at least throwing right now, he won't be in the minor league mini-camp during spring training. If he continues to improve, he could be ready to pitch by mid-April.
McKamey thinks that Sosa can potentially become a #2 starter and is an elite prospect. He notes that Sosa has a "terrifying" plus fast ball and "hard" average curveball that he uses to ring up strikeouts against right-handed hitters. Sosa's major problem is a propensity to walk a lot of batters, but that is compensated against all the strikeouts he gets, he has averaged more than 10 K/9 during his short career.
Baseball America makes similar observations and adds that "he's among the more durable high-profile arms in the system." They think that he is still more thrower than pitcher, and as a result is very inconsistent in finding the strike-zone, particularly in keeping his fastball down. Also, he still needs to develop a third pitch - he is trying to learn a changeup - if he want to remain a starter. But if he can figure all this out, BA thinks "his upside is huge..."
Good Problem to Have
Our rotation could get very crowded with top of the rotation throwers in a couple of years. We have Zito, Cain, Lincecum, Lowry, and Correia currently plus Sanchez and Misch in the wings, but Sosa, Bumgarner, and Alderson could be ready in the 2010-2011 timeframe to come up and start in the majors, though I would say that there is an outside chance that both Sosa and Alderson could make the majors in 2009 - as Sabean said Alderson could on draft day - if the Giants advance them aggressively, much like they did with Sanchez, bringing them up to relieve initially.
Just Pick a Hitter With the #5
Hopefully all these riches in pitching will convince the Giants that they just have to select a position prospect with the #5 overall pick that they have in the 2008 amateur draft. A recent Minor League Ball post went over the top amateurs available currently, and, like most draft scenarios that I have seen thus far, someone there had the Giants selecting Justin Smoak, 1B, of South Carolina.
Given that Villalona appears headed for 1B, I am hoping that 3B Pedro Alvarez's injury drops his stock and he falls to us at #5. But he has been the concensus #1 prospect in all the lists I have seen so right now it's a pipe dream unless he plays poorly - or the others really play well, much like how Evan Longoria rose from #10 before the season began to being in mix for the top after the season.
Ah, who am I kidding, I'd be happy with either of them or the other top hitter, currently, Yonder Alonso. Apparently there is also a high school shortstop, Tim Beckham, who is highly regarded right now and could fall to us at #5. And another top hitter is high school 1B Eric Hosmer, who some consider the best high school bat in the draft, though others could draft ahead of him because of the position being a premium one.

Hey Martin,ReplyDelete
I totally agree on his future ability to start in the majors is based on his changeup.
I'm a big Sosa fan, and I hope he can get healthy and have another good year this season. From what I've read, he's got a very poor changeup right now and he rarely throws it, instead he tries to blow heat by hitters most of the time. Most be nice to have a mid-90s FB huh?
I think every Giant fan agrees with you too on the draft, we could really use a good hitter and there seems to be a decent selection in this years draft.
Beckam is super interesting. His bat -- while still really good and promising -- might not be as high as some of the others, but I'd be really tempted if he fell to the Giants. He's a 5-tool talent at a premium position. The Giants already have a couple of SS prospects (Noonan if he can stick, remains to be seen, Culberson, Schoop, etc.) but none of Beckham's stuff.
FYI, Callis from BA had Beckham going #1 in a recent draft projection that he did for the first 5 picks. In his mock, the Giants drafted HS 1B Justin Smoak.
Yeah, most mock drafts I have seen has the Giants selecting Justin Smoak, he's the pre-season favorite for the Giants to pick.ReplyDelete
Nothing against him, as I love what I hear about his bat, but the more I read, the more it looks like Villalona is going to play 1B. If we had the DH, that's a spot we can put one of them while the other plays 1B, but we don't. So I'm hoping another positional prospect either fall to us or rise to us.
I know no prospect is a sure thing, so if Smoak is the best player available, I want the Giants to pick for value, but I view SS and 3B to be positions of future need - we have all the OF, particularly Bowker and Schierholtz, with Fairly possibly in CF, Villalona covers 1B plus looks like Bowker will see some time there, Frandsen, Burriss, and Noonan at 2B, Williams at C, though that's not a give though, unlike the others above. Culberson is interesting at SS, but not a sure thing, but the Giants like Bocock, though he has to show a bat first. And no 3B.

Hye Peeps!
So 2 weeks back I was invited to attend Air Asia's AABC Hangout for the first time. The event was held at Escape Room Berjaya Times Square. Air Asia took a really great effort to gather a massive bunch of bloggers together to have fun! I was stunned to see a really big crowd of blogger when I arrived.
Since it has been 4 years I blogged and called myself a blogger, of course I made some friends along the way, so there were bloggers I personally knew and they were some I knew but never spoken too and there were some that I just knew during that event. I think my tounge kinda got glued that day, seeing so much popular bloggers all around, I kinda felt that I didn't belong. Hehe..
Just luckily my teammates are the people I'm really familiar with. Penabarkala and Maha Mahu which I have teamed up a couple of times before, so I was happy that I got a group with them to play the games. We didn't win but we had much fun, I was so wishing that they could give prizes for each category cause my group might just haved walked away with something for the drawing game. We got all pictures guessed correctly, we just made the perfect team for the game. LOL
For my team we got the Safari Jungle for the Escape Room game. There was a total of 9 rooms altogether at Berjaya Times Square. I was hoping for The Alice in Wonderland room but my hands wasn't lucky while drawing for the rooms. The Safari Jungle room was a mission in the jungle where we had to find the hidden treasure. This was not my first experience playing the Escape Room, but their games ain't that simple, you have to think outside the box and creatively to get the other clues. They give you a time limit for the game, but no worries they give you 3 chances to ask for help.
The game was interesting but it was also hard as well, so we took a whole lot of time untill we got to escape and that was with help of course. HAHA
We thought we lost already when we escaped, but it seems that there were other groups that are still trapped inside their rooms. While waiting for the others to finish the games, we were served lunch.
Finally the time that everyone was waiting for. The winners announcement. There was a tie of three groups so they had to play a game for the tie breaker. The game was a puzzle game and not only them was confused, even all of us was confused as well.
Honestly, seeing all these bloggers gathering made me feel really fun, cause everyone shared the same passion. It was like a really big gathering for bloggers.
So a big applause to Air Asia cause the created a really great event. And also Air Asia is now selling their new merchandise which are cute kids T-Shirts which looks like a pilots uniform. For the boys, its the white shirt and for the girls is the red shirt.
And here are the winners, they won tickets flights for 2 each! OMG! So lucky of them.
This day was fun, surely hope that there would be more in the future. Thank you Air Asia!
Till then peeps!

President of Naga National Council (NNC) Adino Phizo stated that there could be no meaningful dialogue between the two nations until the "Government of India (GOI) rescinds the 1972 'illegal' badge served on Naga National Council (NNC) and the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN)."According to NEPS, the NNC supremo through email from her London residence pointed out that she was yet to see seriousness of government of India in "seeking an honorable solution to protracted conflict" between the two nations. On Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio's role in Naga issue, Adino said "imposed puppet state government in Nagaland is symptomatic of Indian government hypocrisy." She said, "Rio and his colleagues talk much about playing a constructive role as facilitators to bring 'an honorable solution' to the protracted conflict with India but I am yet to see any action to that effect."On NSCN (IM) General Secretary Th Muivah's recent talks with PM and Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, NNC President said, "In the affairs of Nagaland, Th Muivah is a nonentity. He is from Ukhrul district, in Manipur state, India and has no political root in Nagaland."She further disclosed that only after the Cease-fire Agreement in 1964, NNC and FGN advanced in dispensing with hitherto Inner Line Permit (ILP) mandatory for Naga family in Naga inhabited areas (NIA) to enter Nagaland. "While the national status of NIA is yet to be settled, it does not help that a section of Naga people could clearly be seen muddle along politicizing the issue before all round consensus and callously inflame age-old friendship with neighboring people," she stated.Reacting to India's statement to grant more autonomy to resolve Naga issue, the NNC Chief said, "In recognition of Naga sovereignty, over the years the Indian leaders invited NNC: to join the Union of India, to be incorporated in the Constitution of India, offered 'special status within India', blank cheque for development of Nagaland, President of India, Ambassador to any named country and so on; it may sound unwise to have refused such seemingly generous proposals, but India has no monopoly on sovereignty over another nation." Reacting to Center's interlocutor RS Pandey's "concept of shared sovereignty" to resolve Naga issue, Adino said she saw "no evidence" on his idea of "shared sovereignty" that India was willing to enter into with a neighboring country. Reiterating that NNC was not a political party, NNC President stated it was the embodiment of Naga body politic with historical mooring in Naga democratic tradition. By virtue of the historic 16 May 1951 universal Naga consensus to opt for a common Naga identity and affirmation of heretofore Nagaland declaration to stay independent on 14 August 1947, immutably entrusted with NNC, "no Naga can deny NNC mandate. As the keeper of the soul of Naga nation, NNC has the final say on war and peace," she said.Nagaland was a peaceful, self-sufficient and hospitable country before Indian invasion in 1954.

Despite having a busy week, I have made good progress on Corgi. Page 4 is complete as far down as row 14 and the last two blocks on row 15. The whole dog is now visible and I just have to finish the foreground. I'm hoping to have this done by my next post, and then I will be working on the word "November" down the left hand side.
Following the Turkish stitch debacle, I have now completed the replacement section - ribbons woven horizontally. I am now onto my third ball of yarn and in order to take this photo, I had to lay the scarf out on the floor as I can no longer get a decent picture with it on the bed. It's coming along nicely.
Now for the adventures. Friday's adventure with my nieces was a trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster. It was a very hot day and a lot of the animals were having a nap, but we saw lions, a tiger, a leopard, camels, giraffes, ostriches, wallabies, spider monkeys, meerkats, zebras, a skunk and many more. Littlest niece got to hold a Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroach - apparently it tickled, but definitely rather her than me!
Yesterday I went on an adventure by myself to Fibre East at Ampthill in Bedfordshire. This was my first visit to a fibre festival. I've done quilt shows, and cross stitching things, but this was new. I saw lots of lovely things, met lots of nice people and spent some money on yarn.
What you see there will eventually become, all things being well, five pairs of socks and a hat. I'm going on a workshop in September to learn how to knit socks, and I can't wait.
Moving on, I put on 2lb this week, so back up to 11 stone 8.5lb. What goes on will come off, so I don't worry about it - there's no point.
I'll finish here as my busy week is catching up on me, and wish all the best to you and yours and may the frog stay away from your stitching.

Ms. Gigi Craig - Honorary Master Chief Petty Officer
We had the awesome opportunity last night as we begin to bid farewell to an awesome Shipmate. Gigi Craig who has been with Kings Dominion for (it's OK Gigi, I would divulge exactly how long!) at least 12 years is starting a new chapter in her life. Gigi for those who do not know, is the Kings Dominion Corporate Sales rep and more importantly to us, the Military Affiliation Representative.
Gigi came up with the idea about 11 years ago to have Kings Dominion sponsor and host a CPO day during the Chief Petty Officers Induction and the event has developed into an event along the east coast in which approximately 3500 Chiefs and family members have begun to take part in. This past year, there were 5 retired MCPON's and current MCPON Rick West in attendance as well as 10 Fleet or Force Master Chief's and over 40 Command Master Chief's in which the CPO selectees were able to listen to the wisdom, experience and advice prior to their entering the Mess. "Real" Chiefs were also able to listen to the Navy's Senior Enlisted and unanimously, they stated they wished they had something like this when they were selected.
Gigi was presented and honored as a Honorary Chief Petty Officer back in 2000 and based on what she has meant to the Chief's Mess and done for the Sailors and their families, in coordination with the MCPON, Gigi was presented, pinned and celebrated as an Honorary Master Chief Petty Officer during a CMC/spouse social event Friday night at Oceana's CNATTU ceremonial hangar bay.
Gigi, we're all thankful and proud of what you've meant to the Chief's Mess and wish you favorable winds and following seas during your transition. ---Fleet sends

Abbotsford, BC – It was an eventful day in Abbotsford Tuesday as the Heat got together for their second practice since the holiday break.
Noticeably absent at the start of today's session was head coach Jim Playfair who, we'd later find out, was receiving the news that Flames GM Darryl Sutter had stepped down in Calgary.
"I've got a long history with Darryl, my history goes back to when I was a player and I played for Darryl," Playfair said. "I was a captain with him and we won a championship together.
"My coaching career (began) basically when Darryl came (to Calgary) – I'm sure it's a tough day for the organization as they've decided they wanted to make a change. I think everybody has to re-evaluate where they are."
Playfair coached the Flames to a 43-29-10 record during the 2006-07 season and in a season and a half with Calgary's top affiliate he has a 55-43-6 record.
"I think with a new general manager in place he has ideas on what to expect and what he'd like to see in certain players," said Playfair of the impact today's news could have on his team. "The immediate adjustment (in Abbotsford) is nothing I don't think."
Playfair is no stranger to Jay Feaster.
"He's renting my house (in Calgary) so I have to stay on good terms with him," he joked.

Scripture References:
st. = Isa. 55:12
Paraphrasing only verse 12 from Isaiah 55–a chapter rich with invitation, comfort, and wisdom–Steffi G. Rubin (b. The Bronx, NY, 1950) wrote "The Trees of the Field" in 1975. Verse 12 refers to the "going out" from Babylon, the Israelites' return from exile. More generally, and certainly as seen through New Testament eyes, the passage sings of the joy resulting from God's salvation, a joy so far-reaching that even the "trees of the field will clap their hands," and fruitful trees and bushes will grow instead of thorns and briers.
Rubin has written many songs, a number of which have been published and recorded by Jews for Jesus and its performance ensemble, the Liberated Wailing Wall. She received a B.A. degree in English from Simpson College in San Francisco, California. At one time an artist and creative director for Jews for Jesus, she has been self-employed in the graphic arts field since 1980. Rubin is also a music leader at Emmanuel Messianic Congregation and is active in Remnant, a group that sings Messianic music.
In 1985 Bert Polman (PHH 37) prepared an additional stanza based on Isaiah 55:13 to point out that the rejoicing is a testimony to the saving acts of God. This additional stanza was rejected by the copyright owners for the Psalter Hymnal, but was accepted later for publication in Songs for LiFE (1994):
The fir and cypress trees will grow instead of thorns;
the myrtle will replace the briers and nettles:
this will be a sign, a sign of God's mighty name,
that will not be destroyed. Refrain
Liturgical Use:
Festive, highly celebrative, and joyful occasions.
--Psalter Hymnal Handbook
The song's popularity is no doubt due to the Jewish-style music by Stuart Dauermann (b. Brooklyn, NY, 1944). Both text and tune were written for the Liberated Wailing Wall, the touring singing group of Jews for Jesus. It was first published in Scriptures to Sing (Lillenas, 1975). The infectious tune with its syncopations and hand clapping makes it a winner among contemporary Scripture choruses. Sing "The Trees of the Field" in unison at a good tempo on a half-note pulse. Use stringed instruments (guitars, violins), tambourines, hand clapping, and even some foot stomping! It may well be sung more than once, perhaps the second time (or with the additional stanza above) at a slightly faster tempo.
Dauermann was a senior staff missionary and music director of Jews for Jesus from 1973-1989; he also directed the Liberated Wailing Wall for five years. Educated in music theory (BA) and music education (M.M.) at the Manhattan School of Music, he also completed a master's degree in missiology at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1992. His songs appear on ten different record albums and have been published in various songbooks by Lillenas Publishing and Jews for Jesus. Dauermann currently serves on the staff of the A Havat Zion Messianic Synagogue, Beverly Hills, California.

Turkey and Hamas move closer.....
No foreign minister anywhere should meet Hamas terrorists..
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met Monday in Damascus with Hamas' Political Bureau Chief Khaled Mashaal.
The two discussed ways to break the Israeli blockade imposed o the Gaza Strip, intra-Palestinian reconciliation, and the latest developments in the Palestinian theater.
The Turkish minister reiterated his country's support for the Palestinians and said Ankara continues to devote great efforts to breaking the Gaza siege. He added that Turkey insists on an Israeli apology over the lethal Gaza raid, compensation for families of the casualties, and an independent international probe of the incident.
Meanwhile, Mashaal presented to Davutoglu Israeli moves aimed at boosting West Bank settlements, "and especially in east Jerusalem." He also charged that Israel is attempting to "Judaize the city and expel its Arab owners."

"Grace" is more than mercy and love, it superadds to them. it denotes, not simply love, but the love of a sovereign, transcendly superior, one that may do what he will, that may wholly choose whether he will love or no. There may be love between equals, and an inferior may love a superior; but love in a superior, and so superior as he may do what he will, in such a one love is called grace: and therefore grace is attributed to princes; they are said to be gracious to their subjects, whereas subjects cannot be gracious to princes. Now God, who is an infinite Sovereign, who might have chosen whether ever He would love us or no, for Him to love us, this is grace.

I am loving the projects in 'Country's Edge' by Shirley Keonig, there are butterflies, birds and flowers. Barb Halvorson's new book 'Sharing Gifts of Nature Book 4' is in oils but she does give a conversion to Americana in the front which is nice. If you love doing landscapes then 'Brushtiques 5' by Linda Lover is for you, all seasons are represented. If Frogs in Tutu's and Frogs playing baseball are what your looking for then 'The Lily May Pond' by Susan Pisoni is the one you want. If your familiar with Susan's work then you know she loves the whimsical. I love this book, it's great if you have little ones to paint for or if you are just young at heart. I know there is a project in there that I want to do for me. And last but not least is Linda Lock's newest 'Altered Art' florals, fruit and buildings.

I went in to get a professional fit for nursing bras. 2 firsts for me as I've never been officially measured by a 'bra fitting expert' and I've never needed to purchase nursing bras before. I have purchased a few maternity and sleep bras in the past couple of months, but as I've heard it's worth it to spend money on nursing bras, I wanted to make sure things were going to be a good fit. Word of caution, nursing bras can be very expensive! I walked out of Nordstroms with 2 nursing bras and $140 charged on my credit card. $140 on 2 bras!! Most popular styles, but really?! Will be performing a little experiment to see how similar styles of a $16.99 Gilligan & O'Malley bra from Target and the $58 Elle Macpherson nursing bra from Nordstroms compare.
Of course I expected to get a bigger rack during pregnancy, but ahem, wow. And I'll get larger after Buddha Baby arrives? Yowza. I never thought I'd be seeing the letters DD or E on my delicates before.
One brand I've been told to check out is Bravado--I guess Village Maternity at U-Village carry this brand and it only costs around $50. As I'm all about comfort, would prefer to avoid underwire, I may need to check out nursing camis, but I guess it will depend on how supportive they are. Lots of great nursing bra comments and tips on this offbeatmama post.

Below: Iain demonstrates the safe way to fold sheets during the OH&S seminar...
We held four days of seminars on archaeological survey techniques in Kabul University, completed the inventory of 2,400 bags of Kandahar ceramics in Kabul National Museum, and took delivery of 3000 copies of our bi-lingual educational booklets.
Unfortunately, the print-run was poorly supervised and about half of the booklets were sub-standard. We are still waiting for the printers to rectify this.
Other momentous events included DCT shaving off his beard - the jury is still out as to whether this resulted in an improvement or not.
Despite all the problems we encountered this season, we achieved our primary objective - everyone got home safely, without incident (apart from various credit cards taking a hit in Dubai). The fact that we also managed to get a significant amount of research and documentation done during the month is testimony to the team's hard work and patience, for which Alison and I are very grateful.

In my test program (btree-test.c, sqlite-btree.h and btree.h), SQLite pulls ahead for a transaction size of 512 (512 * 128 = 64k bytes) on my ext3 partition. I assume it's the amount of data that's written inside a transaction rather than the transaction size that matters (I haven't verified this yet). Since SQLite database sizes are smaller than that of SQLite (approx 30% smaller in my tests, excluding the BerkeleyDB transaction log), I attribute SQLite's relative poor performance for smaller transactions to the design of the transaction log and the number of syncs to disk. These tests were with SQLite 3.1.6. I get similar results with SQLite 3.2.0.
Please try the programs above and let me know the results. Also let me know if I've goofed up with the code.

You know, for a minute or two I was prepared to post these pictures and say "Look what I just finished painting!". But then I realized that I just couldn't do that; it wouldn't be right (and my wife reads my blog).
Take a look at what she just finished painting! Pretty darn good! I asked if I could keep them for myself and the answer was "NO".
Anyway, here they are: T-70's, T-34's, KV-1s', and Zis-5 Trucks. Oh... and there are a few photos of some 1/2400 Carriers I finished painting: IJN Shoho and USN CV-10 Yorktown.

A long-standing demand of private FM radio players is set to be fulfilled by the year-end. After Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recommended news in private FM radio, albeit with some restrictions, the I&B Ministry has now reportedly given its nod to 261 private FM channels to air news and current affairs programmes produced by All India Radio (AIR).
Of course, the Ministry's proposal would require the signature of Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi, who is currently admitted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi following a cardiac arrest. After the Minister signs it, the proposal would require Cabinet clearance.
When exchange4media spoke to a cross-section of FM players and media players about the latest development, they were obviously positive about it, though most were not aware of such a proposal being made by the I&B Ministry.
Uday Chawla, Secretary General, Association for Radio Operators for India (AROI), remarked, "Having news or sports as an intricate part of content will immensely benefit the radio industry and listeners. The point of concern for the Government is deciding the extent to which the news broadcast should be allowed in this phase. In case Phase III gets delayed, we have requested the Government to allow the broadcast of news, current affairs and specifically sports in the interim."
'Value-addition to local content'
Reacting to the news, Tarun Katial, COO, Big FM, remarked, "We welcome this development as it adds richness to the local content on the local channel and would give a boost to the FM station. It would also create some kind of differentiation in the market. We have also prepared ourselves to fulfill these responsibilities and are planning to create infrastructural changes."
Vehrnon Ibrahim, National Programming Head, Radio One, said "After waiting for seven years, I think it is a step forward, though not a step we would like, but certainly a step in the right direction. I see this as an opener and not as a final position. I am looking forward for this and I welcome it and we are certainly prepared for news and current events. I suppose at some point of time we will have a self regulatory body."
Nandan Srinath, COO, Radio Mirchi, commented, "From the listener point of view, the product is certainly getting better. We at Mirchi are certainly ready and prepared to carry news and current affairs and look forward to this soon. If this allows greater stickiness of listenership and more audiences who are not using radio at this point of time to come into the radio fold, then there is an indirect bearing on the revenue stream."
Calling the move a step in the right direction, Harrish M Bhatia, COO, My FM, Synergy Media Entertainment Ltd, opined, "Broadcast of news will increase the listener base and lend more credibility, authenticity and trust to FM radio. Listeners will start taking FM radio even more seriously once news and current affairs are allowed on it."
Nisha Narayanan, Project Head, S FM, observed, "Diversification of content will be the direct implication of the permission to broadcast news in private FM stations. This will not only boost listnership, but also provide headway to advertisers."
Though Kunal Jamuar, GM, Madison Media, didn't see any huge value or even commercial implications coming to the industry, he added that "it will certainly give consumers a differentiated content. I don't see any major changes in terms of revenue".
Uday Chawla pointed out, "If you look at the TV industry, almost 15 per cent of revenue accrues to news channels. Improvement in content translates to more listenership, which translates to more revenue."
Tarun Nigam, Executive Director, India - North & Pakistan, Starcom Worldwide, noted, "The green signal to private FM channels for broadcasting news is reminiscent of the good old Akashvani days in the radio mode. Like TV has a bouquet of channels, radio, too, can witness an upsurge of players, depending on the license fees."
In contrast, Anita Nayyar, CEO, MPG, India, remarked, "Since the USP of private FM is music, the broadcast of news would result in dilution of programming and content. This is like the personification of AIR."
Is a regulatory body needed to monitor news?
Speaking on the need for a regulatory body, Chawla said, "AROI will welcome permission for carrying news and sports content and has offered all cooperation to the Government in this regard, including formation of a self-regulatory content control mechanism."
Radio Mirchi's Srinath added, "Since news and current affairs content would come from AIR, I don't see the need for a self-regulatory body. But over a period of time, we might see a self-regulatory mechanism."
Nisha Narayanan pointed out, "The FM players will not emulate 24-hour news channels, but to safeguard the interests of authentic news, a guideline should be charted out and should be adhered to."
The onus of coherent news broadcast is now on the private FM players. This proposal can be seen in the light of breaking clutter and pushing the contingent of journalism in the hear-hear domain. The development certainly has the private FM industry all excited. Watch this space for further developments.

A bit of a scratchy Sunday.
It took me a bit to work out what I was doing. For goodness' sake, I told myself, sternly: it's not all about you. I had to take enormous breaths, realise that it was not the creatures, but I who was in a shitty mood, and go right back to the beginning.
In the end, we worked it all out. We ended on the good note. This is practically the most important thing one can remember, with the non-humans. Probably with the humans too.
Red, who had been standing quiet and still as the Rock of Gibraltar through all the shenanigans, looked at me as if to say: you see, you eejit, it was always going to be fine in the end.
I don't know what's got into her at the moment, but she's taken on some uber-Zen wise woman thing. The weird thing is that people always say your horse is a mirror of you. I am certainly nowhere near the state of Zen that my lovely girl is currently achieving. Perhaps she is in the business of showing me what my best self could be like, if only I concentrated hard enough.
I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I've taken on three new projects; I'm still battling to come back from a severe professional setback. Several things are up in the air. There is uncertainty and struggle. I suppose that is just what life is, and I need to butch up a bit and get my good, stoical, determined foot forward. I'm usually pretty good at bashing on, but sometimes I feel a little out of my depth.
None of this is disastrous. It's all very small stuff, in the wide picture. It's the kind of thing that can be dealt with with a bit more sleep and some iron tonic and a proper dose of perspective. Most of the time, I feel possible and optimistic. I have plans and dreams and daily happinesses. But there are sudden moments when the difficult things back up on me, and I can see the fall, and that's when I tumble into scratchiness.
So I take a deep breath, and write it down, and share with the group (oh you Dear Readers, what you have to put up with), and square my shoulders and bugger on.
The lovely Overturn, one of my most beloved horses in training, is about to go out and strut his stuff at Musselburgh, and that shall be six minutes of pure, undilute pleasure. He's one of the happiest horses I've ever seen on a racecourse. He's really good at what he does, and he just loves doing it. He's only a novice, and, with luck, he'll be giving me joy for a few seasons to come.
In other words, back to the small things. As long as a bonny horse in a northern race can still lift my heart, then I know nothing is so very bad.
Today's pictures:

I don't know about anyone else, but one look at Myfanwy's precious little face just washes all the scratchy right out of my day. Keep calm and pony on!ReplyDelete
That dog of yours...his face, his chest...he is the Clark Gable of dogs! L xReplyDelete
I've often thought that people get the dog they deserve. Same thing might be said for horses and ponies. We get what we give, much of the time. This can be seen as a reflection. It's a mark of the effort put in, often. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
The snow has melted already?????ReplyDelete
I think it's pretty normal to feel unsettled yourself when your work is overwhelming and uncertain. It is definitely that way for me. I have to just take hold of it, make the calls or get the job done in order to feel peaceful again. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the work is piled up so long as I know WHAT THE PLAN IS. So the scratchiness (love that term for it) makes total sense to me.ReplyDelete
Could be all the snow too, that does it to the hubby.
Lovely picture of your hill today.
Lovely picture of Stanley.ReplyDelete

In an attempt to stifle my incessant worrying I take to pondering the question of nightmares vs. insomnia. It's been five nights of nightmares now. In one, I lost my brother's dog in a park. But mostly, I just end up without a place to live.
Tonight, sleep won't come for me.
I roll over yet again and the time of 3:33 mocks me. You don't make wishes on obnoxious numbers. My thoughts shift to drink vs. Nyquil? It is Friday. A Friday night in which I was asleep by 10:00 in order to put a period on the end of this day of worrying about where to live. Little did I know that period was an ellipsis. For here I am yet again.
I have decided. Nightmares. Definitely. Because after all, insomnia is a nightmare when you can't escape your thoughts.

In citing Deutsche Bank for its top honour, the magazine's editors said: "The performance of the investment banking part of Deutsche, combined with equally sure-footed developments in areas such as retail and commercial banking and the private bank and wealth management divisions, leave the firm well positioned to build on its tremendous performance since the crisis hit. Indeed, it is back on the front foot and growing again."
Commenting on the honour, Dr. Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board and of the Group Executive Committee, said: "To receive this prestigious award for the third time since 2003 is an outstanding achievement. It reflects our successful transformation into a leading global investment bank alongside the development of a strong private clients business, our excellent risk and capital management and our role as a pioneer in coping with the financial crisis. We are deeply grateful to our clients, shareholders and employees who made this all possible."

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
Lament for my cock
Sore and crucified
I seek to know you
Aquiring soulful wisdom
You can open walls of mystery
How to aquire death in the morning show
TV death which the child absorbs
Deathwell mystery which makes me write
Slow train, the death of my cock gives life
Forgive the poor old people who gave us entry
Taught us god in the child's praye in the night
Guitar player
Ancient wise satyr
Sing your ode to my cock
Caress it's lament
Stiffen and guide us, we frozen
Lost cells
The knowledge of cancer
To speak to the heart
And give the great gift
Words Power Trance
this stable friend and the beast of his zoo
Wild haired chicks
Women flowering in their summit
Monsters of skin
Each color connects
to create the boat
which rocks the race
Could any hell be more horrible
than now
and real?
I pressed her thigh and death smiled
death, old friend
death and my cock are the world
I can forgive my injuries in the name of
Wisdom Luxury Romance
Sentence upon sentence
Words are the healing lament
For the death of my cock's spirit
Has no meaning in the soft fire
Words got me the wound and will get me well
I you believe it
All join now and lament the death of my cock
A tounge of knowledge in the feathered night
Boys get crazy in the head and suffer
I sacrifice my cock on the alter of silence

When it rains, they store
As a gardener, Dinah Zike appreciates beauty and practicality. So when she laid eyes on 4-foot-high urns designed to collect rainwater, she bought two to put in the garden at her century-old home in Comfort.
In collecting rainwater, she and her husband, architect Ignacio Salas-Humara, are following in the practical footsteps of the pioneers who built their house in 1886. Two original cisterns, one clad in cypress and another of corrugated galvanized metal, still stand among the outbuildings behind the house.
The rustic sculptural beauty of the concrete ong jars, stained to achieve a rusty patina, complements the limestone structures.

"Those appealed to me because of how exotic they are, and they are handmade," said Zike. Unlike most rain barrels that are strictly utilitarian, these beg to be displayed.
The vessels, which hold 425 gallons of water each, are ubiquitous outside houses in Thailand, said John Hanesworth, who imports the jars to sell at Big Grass Bamboo (www.BigGrassBamboo.com) at 637 W. Hildebrand Ave. The large urns cost $1,395 to $1,595. Smaller ones, which hold 225 gallons, retail for $825 to $950.
They are fitted with a hose bib and a galvanized metal lid that will accommodate a downspout.
One inch of rain collected from 1,000 square feet of roof will yield about 600 gallons of water, so it doesn't take a flood to fill the jars. Some homeowners also capture water from air conditioner condensate drains for landscape use.
For gardeners without the budget or space to accommodate large vessels, simpler rain barrels are available. Utilitarian versions are available at garden and home stores, with prices starting at about $90 and capacity ranging from 40 gallons and more.
Styles run the gamut from black or green plastic to a terra cotta look to one that mimics a boulder.
Angela Chandler, a Houston-area garden educator, leads classes on making rain barrels from trash cans. The homemade barrels and most commercially available rainwater receptacles can be connected to handle more water. All rain barrels need to have tight-fitting lids to protect children, pets and birds, noted Chandler. Screens over the openings generally prevent mosquitoes, but if larvae are present, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the water to suffocate them.
Sensible option
Whether you show them or stow them, rain barrels make sense.
In summer, about 50-to-75 percent of residential water use is for irrigating landscapes, said Carol Brouwer, extension agent for horticulture in Harris County. In drought-stricken areas the need is obvious, but recycling rainwater is beneficial in wetter climates, too.
Though Houston rainfall averages the ideal inch per week, Chandler said, the showers don't always fall when needed. "We go through long periods when there is not sufficient rainfall," she said. "It's good to collect enough water during the deluges so we have that water available during drought periods."
Saving rainwater will save homeowners money, reduce the demand on treated water and save a precious natural resource.
"We think Texas, in general, isn't going to have enough water to meet the needs of the population in the next 30 to 50 years," Brouwer said. "Why pump water out of the ground when you've got it free to use?"

Tampa Bay Downs: State of Play to try dirt in Sam F. Davis Stakes
OLDSMAR, Fla. – Could there be another Animal Kingdom residing on the backstretch at Tampa Bay Downs?
Saturday morning, State of Play, a horse with several similarities to the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner, breezed a leisurely five furlongs over the Tampa Bay main track in 1:03.
Like Animal Kingdom, who made just two starts as a juvenile in 2010, State of Play was lightly raced at 2 last year, making just three starts. He won at first asking while sprinting over the turf at Saratoga, then jumped right in against graded stakes company for the Grade 2 With Anticipation Stakes to lead that 1 1/16-mile race from start to finish. Off from September to early November, State of Play drew the tough 13 post in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. He held a striking position into the stretch, before fading to 12th in the race won by Wrote.
State of Play, like Animal Kindgom, is owned by Team Valor International, headed by Barry Irwin, and trained by Graham Motion. Like Animal Kingdom did early in 2011, State of Play will move from turf to the main track when he races next on Feb. 4 in the Grade 3, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes.
"We had originally planned on running him in a grass stakes at Gulfstream Park, but he spiked a bit of a fever for a few days, so Barry Irwin and I talked it over and decided to send him to Tampa and see if he could handle the dirt," Motion said. "State of Play also had a bit of a cold after he shipped to Keeneland last fall, and that probably didn't help our chances in the Breeders' Cup. It's been a bit frustrating that these little things have forced some changes in his schedule, but that's all part of a young horse growing up. Physically, he's done well since then. He's going through the maturation process well and is growing into a nice individual."
State of Play showed a high turn of speed in his races last season, but Motion doesn't think his colt has to be on the lead to be successful.
"He's acted like he'll adapt to being rated, if that's what it takes during a race," Motion said. "He's really an intelligent sort, and the smart ones will do what's asked of them most of the time. Hopefully, he'll show us he can handle the dirt in the Sam Davis. If he can't, we can always go back to turf, where we know he's comfortable."
Keertana prepping for comeback
The multiple graded stakes winner Keertana breezed a mile in 1:47.60 on Sunday morning for trainer Tom Proctor.
Keertana won 4 of her first 5 starts last season, including a trio of Grade 3 stakes – The Very One at Gulfstream, the Bewitched at Keeneland, and the Louisville Handicap at Churchill Downs – before going to the sidelines. She is eligible for the Grade 3 Endeavour at 1 1/16 miles on the turf on Feb. 4 and the Grade 3 Hillsborough Stakes at nine furlongs on the turf on Tampa Bay Derby Day, March 10.
Impressions from Pasco Stakes
Last Saturday's Pasco Stakes left some impressions regarding the future of several of the 3-year-olds who raced in the seven-furlong race.
Prospective looked very workmanlike running down Wildcat Creek and managed to get up late, despite having to race wide from midway through the turn to the wire. Favored Adirondack King looked for all the world like a horse being taught to do his running late, with an eye toward two-turn racing.
Fourth-place finisher Burning Time turned in what may have been the most puzzling performance of the group. Lagging far back early, Burning Time came ripping through the turn like a wild horse and then was swung out sharply at the top of the lane by jockey Fernando Jara, a move that seem to throw the Burning Roma colt off balance a bit and slow his rush. He regrouped to be running again along the outside, and if you're looking for an impressive physical specimen with the potential to go longer and prosper, Burning Time could be your horse.

The days are getting shorter and the weather cooler, and there is nothing better than coming home after a long day to a warm, home-cooked meal. I'm a big fan of cooking pumpkin seeds directions dinner every night, but with a busy schedule, I haven't had a lot of time to shop or cook. Recently, I started cooking once a week, spending a couple hours to stock my fridge and freezer with dinners for the days ahead. The thought of having a freezer full of home-cooked meals makes my week look a lot less intimidating.
Fall flavors waft through the crisp autumn air. Pumpkin and apple are all the rage right now, but don't forget about the other crops that are at their peak, ready for the fall harvest. Take advantage of an afternoon to create hearty dishes for the week ahead.
From eggplants to onions and apples, roasting brings out a rustic richness. Roasted vegetables are easy to prepare and can be incorporated into an array of dishes. Try tossing into a salad, using as a pizza topping, or purée into a soup. Roast a combination of vegetables at a high heat, cut similar in size, drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Squash is one of my favorite vegetables to roast. There are so many varieties to choose, from butternut and delicata to acorn and spaghetti. When roasting, there is no need to peel, just cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. The flesh will become tender.
Try roasting peeled carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes in one pan and deglaze with a splash of orange juice. Or roast cauliflower and Brussels sprouts together. Although many swear by bacon, or buffalo sauce, Brussels sprouts are delicious on their own. Try to find them still attached to their stocks. I like to roast the smaller variety, sweet and tender on the inside surrounded by crisped salty leaves. Slice in half and roast on high heat until browned. Roasted cauliflower is great on its own or tossed with pasta.
Mushrooms are a craveable fall food. I love their meaty and earthy qualities. Not too long ago I bought Shiitake mushrooms from North Tabor Farm that I sautéed with olive oil and fresh thyme. I couldn't help plucking the glistening mushrooms from the sizzling pan and popping them into my mouth. They were addictive.
Look in your backyard for edible mushrooms such as Hen of the Woods. Be sure to ask someone who can identify wild mushrooms since many varieties are poisonous. I like to serve cooked mushrooms with rice, tossed with pasta, or incorporated into an omelet or quiche.
I have a weakness for cheese. There is something about the ooey-gooeyness of melted cheese that is comforting to me. Macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite foods. I bake macaroni and cheese in muffin tins so that I have individual servings that can be easily defrosted for a quick meal at any time.
Try experimenting with grains and legumes. They are a great accompaniment to any meal and have various tastes and textures. Farro is a favorite of mine, with a nutty flavor and a firm texture that cooks just like pasta. I'm not a big fan of quinoa on its own, but I enjoy it mixed with rice. Cook red quinoa and brown rice separately and combine for a protein-packed side dish, great with sautéed mushrooms. Don't forget about lentils and beans. Dust off your bean pot and try your hand at baked beans the old-fashioned way.
I love this macaroni and cheese recipe because there is no need to measure the macaroni, butter, milk, or cheese, thus less mess to clean up. I encourage you to shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded.Macaroni and Cheese
1 lb. of macaroni, elbows, penne, cavatappi
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup flour
1 quart of milk, warmed
12 oz. sharp cheddar cheese (1 and 1/2 8 oz. blocks), shredded
Dash of fresh nutmeg, grated (optional)
1 cup bread crumbs, season with salt
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta in salted water for designated time. Melt butter over medium heat, add flour and whisk for about three minutes. Slowly add warm milk, continuing to whisk until mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add nutmeg and cheese. Stir until incorporated. Check for seasoning; add salt and pepper. Combine pasta with sauce and mix well.
In a small dish, melt butter or combine olive oil with bread crumbs. Spoon macaroni into muffin tins and top with breadcrumbs. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese bubbles. Turn broiler on and cook until breadcrumbs are browned.Noteworthy: Local produce at Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill Farm recently announced a sale in the form of a bag of fresh, local produce, at its farm stand on Old County Road in West Tisbury this Saturday, Oct. 19, at $25 per bag. Customers will receive at least 12 pounds of produce, with more than 12 varieties of vegetables including salad greens, lettuce, broccoli, kale, onions, peppers, carrots, potatoes, peppers, cabbage, and winter squash. Also available for purchase at the farm is locally raised, pastured chickens for $5.50/lb.A Celebration of the Oysters
Since Katama Bay has re-opened and the oysters are available again after being shut down on September 9 because of a bacterium issue, Slow Food Martha's Vineyard is putting on a party at The Port Hunter on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in celebration. The dinner and a movie night begins at 6:30 pm with a showing of "Shell Shocked: Saving Oysters to Save Ourselves," a 40-minute film. Discussion follows, along with hors d'oeuvres and dinner.

It's nice to have met you
No matter where have you gone
Today, you have my soul.
Long colder than before
And loneliness becomes my companion
While the sky is done in shades of clouds.
But to see you
Everything begins to change
And feel to
It transformed my head.
Today the lights
And the colors are bright
I know that this tends to enchant you a lot.
And though today the wind is stronger
While trying to Tan our skin
Closest us converts.
Because the fog
Wants to us blind
But the distance
Will never move us.
Because today we dance,
We sing and love
About the neon lights
It announces a start
An eternal love.
We may not realize
When love is normal
And the rest is fantasy
Because today this is real
And it becomes our reality.
No matter if the Sun is freezing
Or if the moon is very hot
It will always be December
If you come today again.
Or if the lights do not bright
And in the Valley voices are heard
It will always be December
If you come today again.

Can lightning strike twice in two years at the French?
There are enough intriguing elements to tomorrow's French Open final between Rafael Nadal and Robin Soderling to keep people up all night in anticipation. Rather than turn in, many tennis fans are currently queueing up the Warren Zevon song "I'll sleep when I'm dead," and getting their popcorn ready for what promises to be one of the most exciting Grand Slam finals in a long time.
Nadal, the king of clay, seeks his fifth Roland Garros title, while Soderling, the avenger, seeks once again to crush the hopes and dreams of one of the game's greats (he's becoming a true expert at that to be sure).
While some may still be lamenting the fact that Roger Federer missed his chance to take another stab at Nadal on the red clay of Stade Phillipe Chatrier, most have come to grips with the fact that there simply could not be a more drool-worthy final matchup than Nadal-Soderling.
The history is indeed hard to ignore. Of the five matches that these two have played, two have lived on in infamy.
Things got ugly between Nadal and Soderling at Wimbledon in 2007, and since then their rivalry has taken on an added dimension. While it's always about tennis first with these two, there is now an undercurrent of animosity that adds color to their impending clash. Whether or not these two actually throw darts at pictures of the other on a regular basis is unknown, but there is good reason to speculate on the matter.
In the fifth set of their third-round match, Nadal, irked by Soderling's decision to run to his chair to grab a new racquet as he was preparing to serve, made mock gesture of showing Soderling the ball when he returned, as if to say "are you ready now, dude?"
The crowd burst into laughter, and a miffed Soderling then proceeded to delay the match further by stamping around the baseline and becoming the first player on tour - even before Djokovic had the gall to do it in a good natured manner - to poke fun at Nadal's well-known habit of picking his shorts from his butt.
The rest is history. Nadal won the match, then crushed Soderling love and one on the clay the next time they met - two years later - in Rome.
Little did we know that all this time Soderling was planning a swift and decisive revenge. Again this is purely speculation, but he sure played like a man out for revenge when he shocked Nadal into submission at Roland Garros last year.
At a time when the public was certain that Rafa could not be tamed on the red clay, Soderling pulled the upset of the century, and then emerged as a first-time Grand Slam finalist later in the week.
One year later, Soderling - who is now firmly ensconced in the top-10 - thrashed Roger Federer to end his streak of 23 Grand Slam semifinal appearances, proving that he remains ready, willing, and able to go on a rampage.
But don't think for a moment that he'll be able to catch Nadal off guard like he did last year. Whether or not Nadal's injuries were already lowering his level of play when Soderling met him last year is a question that might be better off left alone. But the mere fact that Rafa was beaten - and beaten so badly - last year, means that his already legendary will to fight and to find solutions will be heightened significantly. We've all seen Nadal demonstrate that iron will and stiff resolve of his on so many occasions - look for him to be ready for the battle of his life tomorrow.
And what can we expect from Soderling, now that he's been to a Slam final before?
"Hopefully I can handle it a little bit better this year than I did last year, because last year everything was so new for me. I played many matches against good players, I think I learned from every one."
Meanwhile, Nadal is not interested in drawing Soderling's ire. When asked about his relations with the big Swede he diplomatically replied, "I think he was very shy in the beginning. I think so, no? But I think he improves a lot. For sure for me is good to have a player like Robin playing at this high level on the tour."
Neither player appears interested in wasting any energy - positive or negative - in press conferences. Better for them to save it all for the match.
Better for us, too.
As far as the tennis goes, we are talking about the two players who approach the clay in different ways, but both have achieved stunning success at Roland Garros.
Nadal is the grinder who seeks to tire his opponent by sending his lethal topspin drives from corner to corner, while Soderling is the home-run hitter who looks to hammer the first short ball that he sees in each rally.
Conditions will no doubt play a factor, as Soderling will hope that he gets dankness and wet clay, because this will allow him more time to run down Nadal's shots, while his power will still allow him to hit through the conditions. Nadal, meanwhile, will hope for sunshine, as the drier the clay is, the higher his shots will bounce, and the faster his shots will move through the court.
But neither player appears too concerned about all the things that are so intriguing to us.
"I have to play my best tennis, and that's what I gonna try to do," said Nadal.

Fifty Five Years
Intersection of California Highways 46 and 41
Highway 41 Runs Through Oakhurst to the North
September 30, 2010 will mark 55 years to the day since James Dean died.
This is the headline from September 30, 1955
" James Dean killed in car crash"
The Hollywood film star James Dean has been killed in a road accident in California, USA.
The 24-year-old actor was behind the wheel of his German-made Porsche sports car when it was involved in a head-on collision with another car 30 miles (48 km) east of Paso Robles this evening. Mr. Dean's mechanic, Rolf Wutherich, who was a passenger in the car, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the other car was also injured. Medics said Mr Dean, who was dead on arrival at hospital, suffered a broken neck and numerous broken bones.
At the time of the accident the road racing enthusiast was on his way to a race meeting at Salinas, California.
James Dean completed his latest film "Giant", an adaptation of Edna Ferber's book about Texas, just yesterday. His first film, "East of Eden", cast him firmly into the spotlight and many critics believe he had a glittering Hollywood future ahead of him."
In just three films, he personified an attitude which became "Rock 'n Roll."
"East of Eden" –(1955)
"Rebel Without a Cause" — (1955)—and
Thirty-one years ago, I recorded a "WTAC Editorial of the Air" for use over Memorial Day Weekend 1978. It combined a tribute to James Dean by David Essex called "Rock On" with key clips from each of Dean's motion pictures. At the time, I sent a copy to my friend Dave Marsh, by then an Editor with Rolling Stone Magazine. He sent me a lovely note back.
Not too long ago , I was on Dave's "Kick Out The Jams" show on Sirius/XM Satellite when he surprised me by playing the old WTAC Editorial coast-to-coast with all sorts of kind comments. That was very cool. Dave's wife manages Bruce Springsteen.
As we decide — where do we go from here?
And which is the way that's clear?

This is the basis of Cialdini's principle of reciprocity – we cannot take without giving back. So when one individual posts that they have completed our study and would we mind doing theirs, what they may as well say is "hey, I've done your study, now do mine." As they have already done something for us we cannot possibly say no to their request without appearing like a moocher - which nobody wants. The reciprocity principle has been investigated by Regan (1971) in his art appreciation experiment
Subjects were asked to rate the quality of paintings with a partner (actually a confederate). Halfway through the exercise, the confederate would leave the room and return a little while later. For some subjects, he would bring back a can of Coca-Cola. For others he would return empty-handed. At the end of the rating exercise the confederate asked the subjects whether they would be willing to do him a favour by purchasing raffle tickets from him. As predicted by the reciprocity principle, the subjects who had received the gift of the Coca-Cola were more likely to purchase tickets than those we didn't receive the gift; as demonstrated by the higher values in the favour column than the no favour column in table 1. This effect was present even though the tickets were more expensive than the soda had been (at the time of the study the price of a coke was only 10 cents in the US, whilst the confederate was selling the raffle tickets at a price of 25 cents each). It is also interesting to note that whether the confederate was liked or not by the participant did not have a significant effect on the rates of compliance to the raffle ticket request if the coke had been given (as evidenced by the similar values in the pleasant and unpleasant confederate rows in table 1). Hence it appears that our desire to be reciprocal overrides any of our feelings towards the person doing the asking.

Tea Party Strategy Anyone?
Tibor R. Machan
My involvement in Tea Party matters is virtually nil. I follow the movement's doings by reading both pro and con comments on its candidates and leaders, as well as listening to what some of the active members say in public forums. (Let me tell you the snooty Left is scared stiff of the Tea Party and rolling out its heavy guns to demean it, with Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin serving as convenient targets whose lack of academic erudition is held against them in massive articles in prominent magazines like The New Republic and The New York Review of Books!)
As far as I can determine, the Tea Party is a kind of Right Wing populist assembly of people who have disparate ideas and objectives but are united in being disgusted with the leadership in Washington. There is among them room for nearly anyone who shows a positive attitude about main street America. Social conservatives, especially, seem to be welcome, what with pretty heavy moralizing as their central pitch; free market champions, too, tend to be accepted but not if they are also committed civil libertarians who might stand up for illegal immigrants and oppose the vicious War and Drugs; certainly members of the religious Right are not only welcome but often take leadership roles; and there are others, including those loyal to the American Founders and their central documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. (Sometimes they express themselves in questionable terms, such as swearing loyalty to the U. S. Constitution; but that document is now so watered down, so far from the principles stated in the Declaration, that it scarcely says anything about what the country's political system and public policies ought to be all about.)
I am no spin doctor and do not have my finger on the pulse of the electorate, although I do try to keep abreast. It occurs to me that if the Tea Party is to have a solid chance at influencing American politics and public policy it will have to pare down its message to certain fundamentals and express this publicly in palatable ways.
The one principle that is truly representative of America as the Founders conceived of it is limited government, limited by the principle of individual liberty. Perhaps turning to this message with a clear emphasis on not trying to impose anything else on the country could be successful. If a Tea Party candidate or leader is pressed for views on matters other than the proper scope of government, the answer should be: "No comment on that since it isn't a part of politics proper, not in a free country!" Yes, it is judicious, prudent to simply refuse to get caught up in all the issues that people may bring to the political table by teaching the lesson that they really aren't political, even if they are on the minds of millions of people.
Tea Party members, leaders, candidates and the like may well succeed by adhering to this strategy of not allowing their detractors to involve them in everything. They could point out that this country isn't supposed to be a totalitarian system in which politics takes over everything, addresses all issues on the minds of the citizenry. No, one need not have an opinion on creationism, intelligent design, child reading, drug use, and yes, even abortion. Let most of these topics be part of our social discourse, not our political thinking. That way the central Tea Party theme of reigning in the scope of government is kept in focus and the pluralism of the movement can also continue to flourish but within its proper domain, namely, the variety of social positions the huge tent of those who love liberty makes possible.
Yes, this way of going about things might link the Tea Party too closely with its libertarian faction but that could be a political asset if intelligently put (during interviews, press conferences, etc.). Do not permit the detractors to draw Tea Party people into discussions about matters that are not the proper concern of politics and public affairs. Therein might lie a way to victory, especially now that suspicion with governmental meddling is rife throughout the citizenry.
And this attitude can easily be linked to the central, crucial tenets of the American political tradition, the founding documents and the thinking of the Founders. That they may not all be entirely palatable in our age will not matter if discussions and proposals are kept to essentials. What is exceptional about America is its limited government tradition and moving away from this is wrong, inefficient, and, yes, un-American.

On Monday I met with Deven Ghelani (Centre for Social Justice) and Chris Goulden (Joseph Rowntree Foundation), to talk about the Community Allowance and the Dynamic Benefits report. For years the CREATE Consortium has campaigned against the benefit trap and for a community solution to unemployment. The current benefit system acts a trap – stopping people from working and creating serious financial penalties for anyone on benefits who takes on a job for under 16 hours (you earn a pound….you lose a pound). The Dynamic Benefits report from Ian Duncan Smith's think tank – sets out a new approach – recognising the need to let people take up work opportunities for under 16 hours without making people worse off. The main objection to these plans has historically come from the Treasury and if you believe the reports in the papers the argument is still ongoing….
However, at Monday's meeting I decided to be optimistic: IDS is going to win the argument on earning disregards – so that people can take up part-time jobs or flexible job opportunities – without risking being unable to buy food or pay the rent because our benefit system is so broken.
As we talked about the current consultation on Welfare Reform – 21st Century Welfare, I raised the importance of the links between people and the places they live. If we don't recognise the high concentrations of unemployment and what this does to local communities, we miss out on an important part of the problem and the solution. We need to make sure that the current consultation on benefits and decisions on The Work Programme take into account the importance of understanding the "community dimension" and seeks to involve local people and communities in shaping one of the largest areas of Government spending – benefits and employment support programmes.
So how do we make sure that the people with the most knowledge of the benefit system and employment support – the people with direct experience are involved? We are going to be working with Oxfam to highlight people's real experiences and we are also looking for people who are interested in becoming a benefit blogger – if you want to know more email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
And for those people who like responding to consultations please remember the Community Allowance in your submission
Best wishes

Tomb Raider may be starting the most jam packed month of game releases we've seen in years, but God of War: Ascension will be following close behind for those of us who still aren't satisfied after DmC and Metal Gear Rising.
The latest God of War: Ascension trailer focuses on a new enemy in the game - the Empusa's Lure. The character is similar to the harpies and gorgons of previous games, but its classification as a succubus could make it a bit more terrifying.
Word of warning: The trailer does feature some spoilers, and monster breasts. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is more offensive.
God of War: Ascension launches on March 12 exclusively on the PS3.

Fresh Bone treat
FigAll the dogs got a special treat today. I went with my neighbor friends yesterday to a meat processing plant. They picked up their processed beef and I picked up some free bones for the dogs. The shot I got of Fig says it all- "yum! Thanks Mom"

I was sitting and playing with my 2 puppies and decided to share a photo with you...asked David to get the camera and I scooped them up. Faith is the black and white, Hope is the Blue merle.

Fantastic shop that stocks a massive range of organic and natural skin care, cosmetics, hair care, and more.
They run several workshopy things to give you an opportunity to try something new :) more
I'm a sucker for buying salt and snake pee in a bottle for a tenner and calling it a face nutrient. I think it's the hippy in me that loves this organic shit.
After reading Kristi's review and seeing that this place was a stones throw from my office, I just had to pop in one lunch time. It's like an organic treasure trove for creams, lotions, potions and pills. They have an in store... more
Being right next to my dentist (Malmin Dental) -- I treat myself to a little poke around Antimony Balance after an appointment. Something about getting one's teeth cleaned that sends you off on getting everything else in order, too.
Antimony Balance has a large selection of oils, lotions, potions, serums, supplements, remedies and oddities to cure what ails you. It's an impressive selection,... more

I LOVE posts about "what is in your handbag"
Always have. Always will. Particularly love fashion editor versions. LOVE.
Anyway. Bit bored tonight and avoiding doing my business plan for January-April. Yes I know. So decided to do my very own What Is In Your Bag. This is the god honest truth here. No additions of nice stuff. If that was the case, you would see my gold Prada coin purse and my YSL lippie.
The rundown.
Bag: Mulberry Alexa. LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag.
Book: self explanatory.
Ligloss: Benefit
Chocolate bar and mango slices c/o work lunch
Wallet: Paul Smith
Make Up Bag: Whistles
Prada key chain
Prada sunnies
Dr Haushka lip balm (next best to Creme de la Mer which I can't really justify the cost of)
So. What's in your bag? Tell!
PS My bag also has a spare nappy and wipes. But I admit I left those out.
