"I give my band members a lot of soliloquies," she joked to describe the limelight-balance that she has struck with the extremely talented set of musicians who are anything but backup. Each band member had a chance for repeated soliloquies throughout the evening. Their solos were the high points as well as rest periods for Wilson who left the stage during the longer solos and performed without a set break. Acoustic guitarist Marvin Sewell, who collaborated with Wilson on the song "Right Here Right Now" off of Traveling Miles, has brought a folk flavor to her sound and also added a little blues to the show during his longest solo.
Sewell's influence is evident in the Wilson remake of "Time after Time." That's right, Cyndi Lauper, but Miles Davis also interpreted the melody closer to the less-noted curtain call of his career. A slightly dismayed murmur from those who had not heard her new album flowed across the words "Cyndi Lauper" as Wilson introduced the piece. The fear quickly turned into mellow groove, though, as audience members regretted questioning for even a second Wilson's class. Her slightly-lower-than-contralto changes the song completely, as does Sewell's light acoustic background and Plaxico's soothing base line.
Set in the rear of the stage, a strange mix of various percussion instruments grew and changed throughout the night. In the hands of Jeffrey Haynes, everything from a steel pan to congas added tastes of Africa and the Caribbean at will, and he masterfully integrated his beats with sometimes-jazz, sometimes-folk, sometimes-blues tones around him. Even with a drummer and percussionist playing simultaneously, the sounds were never muddled and Wilson's voice was never muscled into the background.
Cassandra Wilson's concept of jazz involves exploration and combination. Each number in the show was a new trip. Even though they were primarily takes from her latest album and mostly in order from the recording, she and her band members improvised differently and even, at times, drastically changed the way the song was arranged. Traveling Miles takes old favorites and puts a new stamp on them; her stamp is forever open to new direction by her or her musicians.
She approached the project because she felt Davis' music and wanted to express her own special brand of soul through it. She was still feeling it during last week's concert; so was her band, and so was the audience. Critics who charge that Wilson has turned the work of a legend into pop music need only to spend a few minutes watching this lady to know that nothing has been watered down--it has merely found new tongues.

Darcie Shinberger has been named director of University Relations at Western Illinois University, effective Feb. 15, according to Dan Hendricks, vice president for advancement and public services.
Shinberger, a member of Western Illinois' University Relations staff since 1994, was named assistant director of University Relations in March 2007. She has served as interim director since Nov. 19, 2007, following the retirement of John Maguire. She began in the University Relations office as a public information specialist and editor. Prior to joining the WIU staff she was a reporter for the Peoria Journal Star and the Macomb Journal.
"Darcie's transition to director of University Relations will be seamless and smooth since she has been serving in this interim role since November," Hendricks said. "She has proved herself a valuable member of the advancement and public services administrative team, and I look forward to working with her in this important communication role."
As the University Relations director, Shinberger will supervise the University's public relations program and help promote Western's mission to the public, working with media outlets; community leaders; state and federal officials; University administrators, students, faculty, staff and alumni; as well as the public. The office develops and produces a wide array of news releases, publications, and other forms of communication, including the upper levels of the University website, to disseminate information about the University, its programs, faculty, students and alumni. The director supervises the Visual Production Center (VPC), a Western Illinois University service center providing photographic and other visual presentations for faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community organizations in support of the institution's mission.
Shinberger's responsibilities also include administration of Western's media relations programs and the Visual production Center and policy adviser to the University administrators regarding Western's public relations, community relations and news media programs. She is the University spokesperson and is responsible for crisis communication management.
Shinberger also coordinates the University's reporting in accordance with the federal Campus Safety and Security Act (Clery Law) and is the liaison between campus news sources and the news media. She assists with special events programming and planning, including major press events; and she presents media training workshops to faculty, staff and students. Shinberger serves as writer, host and producer of the public affairs program, "Campus and Community," on University Television/Macomb Cable Channel 3 and is the host of the weekly radio show, "Community Conversation," on WKAI/WLRB in Macomb.
Her professional activities include the WIU Student Publications Advisory Board; ADA Advisory Board; University Marketing Working Group; Network Knowledge Committee; Emergency Planning Core Team; the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE); and the Public Relations Society of America. In the community she is a member of the Edison School PTO, the Heritage Days Planning Committee and the McDonough County Girls Softball League Board.
Shinberger earned her bachelor's degree in mass communications and a master's degree in college student personnel from Western. She also has a master's degree in global human resource development from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I would rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist who proves to be right. The former sometimes wins, but never the latter.

The new place has a lot more room inside and there were many vignettes of furniture/decor groupings. The place looks great and, as always, there are fantastic mid-century items of all types for purchase. You can also put items on consignment in the shop.
We also headed to the Bali Bay Trading Company where I purchased a white and silver bead cuff bracelet and a long white shell and mirror windchime. The windchime (pictured laying on a desk) will be hanging in a corner of our guest room. It should look great against the spring green walls. Linda also purchased a beautiful thin cotton scarf in white, green and turquoise.
After that we headed to a new store that we hadn't visited yet -- Vintage Post Marketplace. It's directly across the street from YesterDaze and A Modern Line. This place was unbelievably huge. We knew it was large judging from the outside but had no idea the building sprawled back so far. They carry a little bit of everything in the line of jewelry, decor, furniture, some clothing. Duane scored a bulb pot for her Delft collection. This store consists of new items and older and vintage items for sale and on consignment. They also feature the work of local artists. This was our first visit but we'll definitely be going back.
Then we headed to another favorite destination, D & D Antiques and More, where Duane put a table on layaway and Linda purchased a set of beautiful Noritake dessert plates.
After this we were starving, so we headed to Nicko's Diner. We were so hungry, I felt like a pig at a trough. (Shameful to admit.) After stuffing ourselves, we went back to Duane's and went our separate ways. Till next time...

Remembering a Name
Without a doubt, probably the hardest thing to do when you meet someone new is to remember their name. Fortunately, at PASS Summit, everyone is wearing a name badge which makes it a lot easier. However, what happens when you go out in the evening and start meeting new people? How do you remember their names? At some point, just calling someone 'Hey you' or 'Buddy' isn't going to fly. There are a few tricks that we can all try to help us remember names. Here are a few:
- Relate the Person to Someone in your Past – This seems to be one of the most common ways to remember a name. When some one tells you their name, you think of someone in your past with the same name and try to relate the two people. For instance, the first time I met Dan Hess (t|b), he reminded me of a friend in high school named Dan. Both were big, tall guys and a little goofy at the same time.
- Associate the Name with a Rhyme, Object or Physical Feature – This is another fairly common way to remember a name. For instance, say you just meet someone named Mike. In your head (not out loud if you can help it), you could think Mike n' Ike or Mike Bike. Maybe the person has a certain feature that stands out like a comb-over or a bald head. You can relate that person to their physical feature to help remember a name. My name is rather easy to rhyme and I usually works well.
- Repeat the Name – When someone introduces themselves, use their name in a sentence. "Nice to meet you Tom!" or "Hi Tom, my name is Mitch". You can also repeat the name in your head 3-5 times to try to help it sink in. Repetition is always helpful.
- Ask them to Repeat their Name – Don't be afraid to ask someone to repeat their name. Keep in mind that there will be a lot of background noise at pass and it can sometimes be hard to hear. At the end of a conversation, there is no harm in asking someone for their name again. If nothing else, it will be fresh in your head again.
- Have a Wingman – Having a wingman is not just for the bar scenes anymore. If you see someone who you met the day before, but can't remember their name, send someone to go meet them and hope they can remember the name for you. You can also introduce your wingman to the person whose name you forgot with the hopes that they will give their name in return.
Practice now so it will be second nature when you need it.
See you all at PASS Summit!

When I stepped out of the aircraft at the
If carrying four huge suit cases wasn't sufficient to attract everyone's attention, my guitar took care of the rest. Unlike others, the cab driver couldn't keep his curiosity to himself and asked me if I worked in the film industry. "If only", I said letting out a sigh. I told him that I had come to
The next four weeks saw me settling down in a South Bombay flat along with Adarsh, shopping, savouring cuisines, watching movies, plays (watched one while sitting next to Shashi Kapoor at Prithvi Theaters), musical concerts and of course working (only to make sure that I continue doing the former activities in the days to come).
As I pen these words, I can also sense a slight chill in the air. All in all, so far so good!
Here's wishing all of you a fantastic 2009!

Update on Jonas!
In November we posted about a new member of the Wings of Hope family, Jonas. Shortly after we introduced Jonas it because clear that there was more to his story then we knew. His mother and father had two boys, Jonas and his brother. The mother apparently didn't want to care for a child with special needs and abandoned him at the Missionaries of Charity home in Jacmel, then left town with her other son. Jonas' father, however, very much wanted his son. He searched for days at all the orphanages looking for him. Finally he went to the authorities to file a missing child report. They knew about the little boy who had been abandoned and came to Wings to pick Jonas up and return him to his father. All of this happened on Thanksgiving Day in the US, which became a Homecoming Day for little Jonas. We are sure his father is glad to have him home, given all he did to find him. We are thankful for the short time that Jonas was in our lives and we wish him and his father well on their journey together.Share this:

Cleaning the yard! I can't wait to get out and rake the leftover leaves, trim back vines & shrubs, and get ready for the garden to bloom!
My favorite is doing some spring cleaning. It is a lot of work, but it feels so good when it is all done! I save a lot of money too, because I stop buying groceries (except milk, eggs, and veggies) in order to clean out my freezer and cupboards.
I love planting new spring flowers! It's a sign that hey - spring is here and no more cold weather!!
My favorite Springtime activity is planting new flowers in my yard. Love the colors of spring!
Reorganizing and cleaning the house, and going for a long walk in the fresh spring air afterwards.
I would have a picnic in the park and stroll around the park and take some beautiful pictures for memory.
I like to walk around the city with friends and enjoy a drink at a rooftop bar with a nice view
I want to go up to mountainous area with a picnic, a blanket, and books, and spend all day there until it's dark. Several weekends in a row.
Or planting that herb garden I've been dreaming about. And flowers. Just digging in the soul and then watching the little plants pop up. :)
I love being able to walk everywhere! Now that the weather is nicer and the sun goes down later, I walk to the post office, gym, restaurants, and to do grocery shopping. Saves me a lot on gas just as prices start to rise!
Wine tasting as the vineyards and cherry trees begin to bloom here in the Okanagan wine valley, BC, Canada.
Putting on a warm jacket and scarf and driving with the top down, feeling the fresh spring air surround me.
The day that I head to a local nursery and buy flowers to plant in my front courtyard. Best day of the year! :)
Favorite spring time activity would have to be spring cleaning! Yes, boring but very fun to me!
I love to go hiking - seeing the forest start to turn green and hear/see birds and other wildlife reminds me why Spring is so great!
I love spring!
Gardening, long walks with my beloved on warm, breezy evenings, and biking are at the top of my list.
Planting flowers! I love to see them when I drive up to the house & I enjoy them on my back patio. I also love eating outdoors, on the patio at home or at restaurants with outdoor seating.
As the snow is melting in spring (in Alaska!), I love looking for moose poop in my front yard. I know moose visit in the winter, because they leave tracks, but I seldom see them. The poop is the proof that they stopped for a while.
I can't wait to make plans with a girl friend to get pedicures and frozen yogurt, now that the weather is so nice.
KAYAKING!! Walking, hiking, being outside. Anything that has to do with not being inside after a very looonnng winter. We live in a beautiful area, so I can't wait for all the snow to finish melting! (Yes, we still have snow!)
My favorite Spring hobby is getting some friends together, boiling crawfish and drinking some sweet Abita Strawberry beer!

Kitchen Backsplash. Tuesday , February 06th , 2018 - 11:22:22 AM
If your kitchen isn't organized, reflects a tired appearance, or does not look functional in keeping with a modern-day kitchen, then now is the time for it to receive a makeover. A kitchen may have looked good 10 decades past, but it's probably looking a bit tired by now. It is called the heart of a home for a reason! Designing it can be a fun and easy process. Sure, a purple kitchen isn't for everybody. however, it permits you to showcase your personality.The kitchen may set you back major time, but it's still true that you would like it to seem new. Try to remember, that for somebody who is always in the kitchen, black really isn't the thing to do. The kitchen is the core of your house. Talking about it remodeling there are many parts that need to be analyzed so that you can plan according to that so that things should look good in your new space. If you are in possession of a colorful kitchen utilizing black appliances and accessories can match your current decor. If it's an art deco modern kitchen, you might want to decide on black and white.Though your backsplash might stain, the materials it is created from will be quite simple to wash and maintain. Hardwood backsplashes add craftsmanship to your house. They are typically used when hardwood fascia is displayed on the front of the countertop. The absolute most frequent backsplash is created from the exact same laminate used on the countertop. Ceiling-Height Backsplash While a common backsplash tends to run from the countertop to the base of the upper cabinet, it's also becoming more and more common in order for it to extend all of the way to the ceiling. Now you are in need of a great looking backsplash. A fence board backsplash is exactly what the room needs to appear warm and inviting.Any sort of backsplash may look good if you understand how to install it. After choosing the right granite countertop, the next step is obtaining a backsplash which works. You necessitate a backsplash which not only appears good, but in addition wears well and is simple to wash and maintain. You may have an affordable kitchen backsplash that doesn't need to appear cheap.A kitchen backsplash is far more than merely a background. A kitchen backsplash may be a superb addition to any culinary design program. A kitchen backsplash can definitely alter the entire appearance and feel about the atmosphere and environment that you're in. You require an affordable kitchen backsplash.The theory behind painting your new backsplash is straightforward. Renovation suggestions for kitchens are important in raising the value of your dwelling. You'll also have to balance purple kitchen design with natural colours and appliances. You might need to update your purple kitchen design in a couple of years because you were on the outer edge of bold design. Featuring entire room scenes devoted to helping you opt for the ideal design for your kitchen undertaking, our kitchen backsplash pictures are going to have you flipping through page after page of dramatic design suggestions for your house. A very simple design utilizing white cabinets together with black countertop backsplash coveys a bold yet affordable and vibrant kitchen. It's especially helpful in little spaces like compact condo kitchens paired with minimalist white cabinets to provide the illusion of a larger space.

sccUARTjtraue Sep 1, 2011 1:08 PM
Dear MARC community,
While running bare metal applications, we faced the problem of getting
debug information from cores to the MCPC.
The sccGui shows data send from the SCC via pseudo UART, but
lacks the possibility of logging into files.
Furthermore, using the GUI with our remote access from Germany
is not much fun.
Since everything else in our build chain can be done from a terminal,
we implemented a new command line tool: sccUART.
It is designed to run on the host pc and captures all
characters that the SCC sends by calling out to either
0x2f8 or 0x3f8.
Once a core send 80 characters or a newline char, this data, preceded
by the processor identifier, is printed.
This buffering data avoids a mixup of output from different cores.
Additionally, sccUART can create a file for each core's output.
Example invocation:
./sccUART -f log
Example output:
0: This is core 0.
Created files: log0, log1, …, log47
'tail -f log0' allows to track only rck00's output
Example asm code to run on SCC (nasm style)
; void __outprint(char c);
global __outprint
push ebp
mov ebp, esp ; save caller context
push edx
mov eax, [ebp+8] ; get parameter

Drain Cleaning in Manassas VA
Regardless your home or office, everyone deals with the same issues. Whether it be drainage backups, broken sewer lines in Manassas VA, leaking sewer line gases, you name it. Dealing with these faults can prove to be critical in maintaining a safe, clean space. Thankfully, there are vast amounts of options you can consider, should you ever run into any of these issues.
Hydro-Jetting in Manassas VA
When dealing with blocked pipes, Hydro Jetting in Manassas VA can prove to be efficient in clearing away the blockage through a process where high-velocity water pressure is shot through the pipes, removing backed up sand, silt, grease, scale, dirt, etc. This process, though less efficient than outright replacing the pipes altogether, can prove to be the best option that offers top efficiency, while also avoiding damage to the surrounding area.
Smoke Testing in Manassas VA
When dealing with a leaking sewer gas, Smoke testing in Manassas VA can prove to be a very simple fix at this issue. A harmless, odorless smoke is sent through the pipes at an access point. When the smoke exits through the leak, you'll know immediately where the fix needs to be done. Though it may be a straightforward, simple process, keeping toxic gases from your building are vital to maintaining a healthy space.
Sewer Line Locating in Manassas VA
Sewer line locating in Manassas VA, a process you'll likely go through if you're looking to repair or outright replace your sewer lines, can prove to be essential. Whether you're locating the lines for a future repair or replacement, or if you're just wanting to add on to your property, making sure the lines are in good standing will assure you the go-ahead to make those decisions safely. You wouldn't want to add an addition to your home, only to find out the sewer lines right underneath said addition need replaced.
Trenchless Lining Manassas VA
Arguably the most advanced process listed, Trenchless lining in Manassas VA offers you the ability to not only repair your broken lines but with the added benefit of not needing to decimate your yard to reach the pipes. A small camera is sent through the pipes to locate the areas in need of patching or replacing. Once the pipes are Hydro Jetted to clear out debris, a resin is put in those troubled areas, which will harden from one to 30 hours, depending on the diameter of the pipe. Once a final inspection is completed and everything is running smoothly, the pipes can be used immediately, without issue.
Regardless the drain cleaning company you use, I think you'll find that it's incredibly important for both your health and safety, to maintain solid sewage piping, no matter the location. It may pose to be an arduous task, but pipework, in general, is made easy with the new-age processes listed above. Thankfully, most of the processes listed above are relatively simple if done by professionals.

I just couldn't take that too tight iPad case to America with me. I hate flying - everything on my body swells & I get tetchy - Lianne will tell you! After the flight back from New York, I couldn't even get my boots back on my feet! So, I just knew that trying to squeeze my iPad back into it's too tight case would quite possibly tip me over the edge!
So, in between filing VAT & Tax returns, packing cases, wrapping gifts, taking my little man to football & tying up other loose ends, I found a couple of hours to whip another up
It's still not quite perfect, but it's close enough and more importantly, the iPad fits in nice & snug without being too tight or too loose. Win!
So, tomorrow morning at 7.30am I begin my mamouth treck to the West Coast of the US of A which should see us arriving in Anaheim at around 5 am UK time. Fun fun fun! It will all be worth it, though
Catch in a week!

As contrasted to sites being hosted on a single server, Clustered hosting means everything is hosted on different and multiple servers, increasing consistency and performance. Servers can be continuously added to the cluster, allowing wide-ranging scalability and flexibility for users.
Why traditional web hosting is outdated now days?
In a traditional web hosting environment, your site and all of its data will be located on one server in one location known as the main server. This can be a reason of the problem because if your server goes disconnected, the datacenter where your server is located burns down or just stops working then your entire website goes down with it. Nothing works runs or displays. So this is the main reason behind the less use of traditional web hosting in the current scenario.
How can this be prevented?
The answer to this question is very simple. That is by separating hosting services across a cluster. Clustered hosting is the modern and up-to-dated way of hosting your website. A cluster is an assembly of computers or we can say servers, whose joint computational power delivers a service. By following this method of hosting, we can easily eradicate the danger inherent in a single point of failure, and can make more well-organized use of network resources.
Advantages of Clustered hosting
So as Clustered cloud hosting is a solution of all this then let's have a look at the few of the benefits of Clustered hosting
Clustered hosting is a step forward in raising usability
The main benefit of clustering is the even dispersal of traffic across several servers, decreasing the probability of the situation that a single server will go down due to overload, and improves performance as traffic is managed. So there is no wrong in saying that the clustered server hosting is beneficial for tremendously large, high traffic sites. Subsequently, multiple servers are controlling the load balance, safety and data resources, your site will run with improved productivity than if it were on a single server.
In case if the complete database service fails, then visitors to your website will still be able to see the static and dynamic content, but just be incapable to access the database. Database activity is isolated from the web traffic, and so an upsurge in database computation has negligible effect on static content from a web server, and likewise web traffic for dynamic content will have a slight effect on database performance.
Clustered Windows Cloud Servers keep applications available at all times
Load balancing distributes traffic between servers, enhancing capacity, increasing server performance and providing redundancy with failover in the event of hardware or application failure.
What are the other benefits of using Clustered Hosting?
There are many other benefits of using Clustered Hosting like it minimizes the use of FTP, email slowing down and websites on a host. If a host is busy with an FTP operation, the other servers just continue to serve the sites while a server is busy with the FTP operation where ever that is happening.
So reading all the above points it must be clear that how and why Clustered Windows Cloud Servers Hosting is good for your organization.

I found his sour dough starter recipe along with his San Francisco Sour Dough Bread recipe. I looked online and found there are so many ways to make sour dough starter. Some people even give their sour dough starters a name and some sour dough starters can range from the age of 20 to 100 years old! Sour dough is just a whole other frequency for serious bakers.
This starter recipe is very easy especially for those of you who are afraid of yeast. Give it a try, what have you got ot lose?
Sour Dough Starter:
2 cups AP flour
1 packet dry yeast
Warm water
The starter will last for years when properly cared for.
San Francisco Sour Dough French Bread
1 Packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 cup Sour Dough Starter
5 cups AP flour
2 teaspoons salt
In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle dry yeast over 1 cup of warm water. Let the yeast dissolve for 5 minutes then stir in Sour Dough Starter. Gradually add 4 cups of flour mixed with the salt, 1 cup at a time thoroughly incorporating before adding the next cup of flour. Cover the bowl with a damp clother and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
Turn dough our onto a floured board and work in about 1 cup of flour until dough is no longer sticky, and then knead until satiny. Shape dough into 1 large round or 2 long loaves.
Set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkled with cornmeal and let rise again for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Make diagonal slashes in bread with a sharp knife or razor blade so dough does not fall.
Put a shallow pan of water on the lower shelf of oven preheated to 400 degrees F. Place bread in oven on upper shelf and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until crust is medium dark brown. The water creates the humidity that gives this bread that special flavor.
About 10 minutes before bread is done, brush the loaves with ice water and continue with the remaining baking time. The ice water gives the bread that extra crispy crust.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
This is the most awesome tasting bread! I just knew this would be a flop but it wasn't, I could feel my dad right beside me the whole time.

My biggest concern heading into Saturday's game against the Arizona Cardinals was that the Bears might be in a no-win situation and might still be criticized if they had played a perfect game. As it turned out, we never got that opportunity to find out if that'd be the case.
If Saturday's third preseason game traditionally serves as the dress rehearsal for the regular season, I'd hate to see what the Bears have in store for us for Sept. 12's matinée. That's when they open the regular season against Detroit, one of the few winnable games, or so it appears at this stage of the preseason.
Things were in disarray from the first offensive snap of the game when Jay Cutler threw a pass intended for Devin Hester deep down the middle of the field. Or was it intended for Johnny Knox? Both were in the vicinity and neither one looked sure that he was the intended target.
Hester and Devin Aromashodu each caught first down passes of more than 10 yards on the opening drive, so things began to look up as the Bears marched down the field. Then, according to Cutler after the game, another miscue with Knox led to an interception by Cardinals cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
The Cardinals' first offensive play was an 11-yard completion by Derek Anderson to tight end Stephen Spach, both guys who make you scratch your head and say, "Who?" It was only one play, but considering how it contrasted with the Bears' first play, discouragement slowly crept in. It turned out to be a four-and-out, though, as the defense settled in and forced a punt.
The Bears tried to establish the run game on the second series as Matt Forte carried the ball twice for just three yards before Cutler on third down succumbed to the first of four sacks on the game. The Cardinals responded with a three-and-out of their own on the ensuing series.
The Bears' third possession of the game was more successful as they ran a 12-play drive that took almost six minutes off the clock. Cutler was 5-for-8 on the series for 83 yards, completing passes to Desmond Clark, Knox, Forte, and Chester Taylor. Unfortunately, the drive that started with such promise ended in demise. On the final first down of the series, Hester fumbled the snap out of the Wildcat formation. Cutler's pass for Knox fell incomplete on second down. Cutler was sacked on third down. And on fourth down, Robbie Gould's 38-yard field goal was blocked.
Arizona answered that drive with a 10-play, 72-yard drive of their own that ended with an Anderson 27-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Stephen Williams, an undrafted rookie from Toledo.
Preseason is all about making adjustments and seeing how your team responds in actual game-like situations. The Bears responded well on their ensuing possession by taking the ball 43 yards down the field into field goal range, but Gould missed his second field goal of the night, this one hitting the left upright.
On the drive, Cutler showed his elusiveness by scrambling 12 yards for a first down. Taylor flashed how valuable he could be out of the backfield by taking a handoff to the left, evading a tackler, reversing field and scampering for a 34-yard gain while making more tacklers miss along the way. I always knew Taylor had a burst in the way he ran the football, but I was never able to grasp just how quick and agile he is when he was wearing Vikings purple.
On the Bears' next possession, Cutler was sacked for the third time and lost the ball. Olin Kreutz recovered the fumble to avoid a turnover, but it was only momentarily. On the next play, Cutler threw his second interception, a pass intended for Aromashodu that was underthrown and never should have been attempted.
The Bears appeared to be headed for more trouble to close out the half as the Cardinals drove close to the end zone. Danieal Manning, who had a nice game and led the team in tackles, forced a fumble from Cardinals running back Chris Wells and a Jay Cutler kneeldown mercifully ended the first half.
As if it wasn't bad enough that Anderson completed 7-of-12 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown, the Cardinals proved their quarterbacks are interchangeable as Matt Leinart started the second half and led the Cardinals to a touchdown on the team's second possession. Leinart finished with nine completions on 10 attempts for 84 yards and a score.
Things didn't go well for the Bears' starting offense on their only possession of the second half. Taylor ran twice for minus-two yards and Cutler was sacked for the fourth time as the Bears went three-and-out.
Rookie quarterback Dan LeFevour had a much better third outing as he completed 10-of-12 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown while leading the Bears on two scoring drives. His touchdown pass was for three yards and caught by Juaquin Iglesias — No. 17 in your programs, the former third-round draft pick who is on the bubble. Yes, that guy.
There were definitely good and bad moments in the game, but unfortunately it appeared as though the bad outweighed the good.
There are also good and bad things to look forward to for the regular season. The good news is that the duo of Forte and Taylor has the potential to be one of the top backfields in the league. The bad news is that they won't be able to fulfill that potential without adequate blocking. The good news is that the wide receivers have continued to make strides since last year and Cutler can make accurate throws down the field. The bad news is that the offensive line isn't giving the receivers enough time to complete their routes or allow Cutler to stand in the pocket to deliver those throws on a consistent basis. And the good news is that Cutler is a tough guy without an injury history. The bad news is that he's been sacked 9 times in two games and his toughness is being tested even before one snap of the regular season has taken place.
Notice any similarities in the bad news? The offensive line is every bit as bad as feared heading into training camp and not much has improved.
There is also good news and bad news for the defense. The good news is that Julius Peppers is worth every cent of the $20 million he will make this season. The bad news is that teams can neutralize him with quick passes the way the Chargers did in the first preseason game. The good news is that the Bears got great pressure on the Cardinals quarterbacks. The bad news is that the quarterbacks were able to stand in there and get rid of the ball while shredding the secondary. And the good news is that part of the Bears' poor play stemmed from the fact that they were missing three linebackers including Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, and Nick Roach. The bad news is that they're dropping like flies and Urlacher is dangerously close to heading down the path that Mike Brown took with injuries that led to his dismissal from the team.
There's one more preseason game and it will come off a short week Thursday night in Cleveland. The starters usually play only a series or two, if at all. So, what you've seen so far is what you'll get come Sept. 12. The Bears have two weeks til then to figure out how to keep Cutler upright, how to create holes for the run game, how to pressure the quarterback, and how to get the defense off the field on third down. If they can't right the ship by then, it could sink quickly.

Wheeleus says there was a two year period when the family lost contact with her young cousin.
Prosecutors say during that time Rebecca McEvoy was the victim of sexual abuse.
The suspect
The man accused in the case is Bob Ingle a former Chickasaw Police officer, and Rebecca's stepfather. Ingle is charged with rape, sodomy, and sexual abuse.
Rebecca was killed in a car accident in January, before the case went to trial. That's when the family ran into a legal roadblock.
"Her voice was silence by her death, but we can't allow it to remain silent." said Wheeleus.
Hearing postponed
The family learned Monday night that Tuesday's court hearing had been postponed.
"I just want to know where the victim's rights are for a speedy trial. This is the fifth time that this has been reset." said McEvoy.
Rebecca's Father Aden McEvoy is worried statements his daughter made before her death won't be allowed as evidence in the trial, because of a law that guarantees the defendant's right to cross examine a witness.
"She told it to legal professionals. She told it to a doctor. She told it to child advocacy. Now they're saying it can't be used, and it's not right." said McEvoy.
The names of alleged sex abuse victims are rarely reported in the media, but Rebecca's tragic story came to light, because of what her family members call their fight for justice. It's a battle they believe could affect many other families.
"Now that I've been doing all the research I see it's such a broad spectrum. There are so many other children that are affected by this." said Wheeleus.
Rally for sex abuse victims
The family hopes Tuesday's rally in downtown Mobile will raise awareness about Rebecca's story. But, no matter how many delays they encounter, the family is determined not to give up.
"If we can't do it here we'll keep going higher and higher, and see what we have to do to get these laws changed for the victims." said her father.
FOX10 News tried to contact the defendant's lawyer about this story. We want to also give his side. We're still waiting to hear back from him.
The court hearing that was scheduled for Tuesday has been reset for June 10th.
|Freddie Heard arrested for sex abuse
|Last Edited: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 7:37 PM CDT
|Created: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 7:37 PM CDT
Photojournalist Guy Turnbow
MOBILE, Ala. -- All is quiet on Barretts Lane in Mobile - but neighbors say on Monday police swarmed this street. "I came and sat on my porch and saw all the police cars," said Shirley Smith.
Police were looking for 35-year-old Freddie Heard. He's charged with four counts of first degree sexual abuse and two counts of enticing a child to commit an immoral act.
The Investigation
"Usually have one or two victims, but four is unusual to have four victims," said Officer Eric Gallichant with the Mobile Police Department. Mobile police got involved in the case after the Department of Human Resources called them to investigate...police say the alleged victims are girls between the ages of 10 and 13. The alleged abuse happened at various locations around mobile...and it spans several years.
Neighbors were shocked
Neighbors say Freddie Heard was very friendly and neighborly. They were very shocked to hear what he's accused of doing. Clara Johnson's lived on Barretts Lane for 35 years - she says heard was rarely home - but when she did see him - he seemed nice.
"Not the type of person you would suspect of this, he was nice when I saw him, like I said very friendly," added Clara Johnson. Freddie Heard wasn't home when we went by - he's in Metro Jail. Mobile Police say this is an ongoing investigation.
|Bar Mitzvah Tutor Indicted for Sex Abuse
by Brooklyn Eagle (email@example.com), published online 05-20-2008
McElhone is charged with four counts of criminal sexual act in the second degree, aggravated sexual abuse in the fourth, two counts of unlawfully dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child.Police say the abuse occurred over the last three months.
McElhone is in jail on $40,000 cash bail.
COLUMBIA - Educators across South Carolina will be trained on how to prevent, identify and report cases of students being abused by adults at school or elsewhere, officials announced Wednesday.
Roughly 10,000 teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, coaches and school nurses will become "Stewards of Children" through a program developed by Darkness to Light, a Charleston-based national nonprofit group that seeks to curtail the number of child sex abuse victims and the crime's impact on their lives.
Anne Lee, the group's chief executive, said South Carolina is the first state to tackle such a statewide initiative. She said the group is seeking federal money to expand what she hopes becomes the national model.
She hopes the training program "closes the cookie jar" for sexual predators in schools. If they know fellow educators are watching and are ready to turn them in, they'll get another job, Ms. Lee said.
State schools Superintendent Jim Rex said incidents of inappropriate behavior between students and teachers are rare, but even one is too many.
"So much of what schools do is based on trust. Not only must kids trust their teachers, but parents have to trust those teachers too," he said. "And schools have to earn that trust each and every day. That's what this initiative is all about."
Mr. Rex said it needed to be a statewide push, because if the agency allowed schools to opt into the program, those that most need it might not participate. Colleges are also incorporating the training in their teacher education programs.
Last fall, a nationwide Associated Press investigation found 2,570 educators whose teaching credentials were revoked, denied, surrendered or sanctioned from 2001 through 2005 after allegations of sexual misconduct, from bizarre to sadistic; 99 were from South Carolina, according to discipline records.
Experts who track sexual abuse said those cases are representative of a much deeper problem because of underreporting.
WHO GETS THE TRAINING? Beginning this fall, at least one educator from each of the state's 85 school districts will have 6 1/2 hours of training.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS? Those "stewards of children" will train at least 20 percent of educators in their district.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? More than 80 percent of the $162,700 cost of training and materials comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Child abuse expert says society becoming desensitized to sex
Associated Press
2:29 PM CDT, May 20, 2008
A child abuse prevention expert says what was considered outrageous years ago is now the norm.
Cordelia Anderson spoke Tuesday in Milwaukee at the national convention of Prevent Child Abuse America.
Anderson displayed images such as Calvin Klein jeans ads and pictures of JonBenet Ramsey, the child beauty queen who was murdered and then compared them to more recent ads and images.
She says the line of outrageousness is shifting as companies target children with sexier ads. For example, she says popular Halloween costumes for kids include French maid outfits.
Anderson says these ads, products, and even songs teach children how to think and act. And when children act in this new way, adults are more likely to treat them as sexual beings.

ONLY ON 3: Man Behind "Worst Child Sex Crimes Ever" Going to Prison
ONLY ON 3: Man Behind "Worst Child Sex Crimes Ever" Going to Prison
By Nate Eaton
58-year-old Michael Nef made headlines last summer when he was arrested and charged with 10 child sex abuse counts.
In a plea deal last September, six of those charges were dropped. Nef pleaded guilty to four and was sent to Cottonwood for 6 months.
Now, Judge Brent Moss has sentenced him to two consecutive prison terms. One term of five to 25 years. The other of five years to life.
Robin Dunn, Jefferson Co. Prosecutor: "In 25 years of sex abuse crimes this is probably the worst."
Michael Nef's crimes shocked an entire community and he will now have at least five years in prison to think about his actions.
Originally charged with six counts of lewd conduct, three counts of rape, and one count of sexual abuse, Judge Brent Moss has ordered Nef to go to prison after he spent 210 days on a rider at Cottonwood and Orofino.
Dunn: "The judge does what's called 'flop the rider' which means he's imposing the original sentence."
A judge rarely flops a rider. When it does happen, it's usually because the criminal doesn't keep the rules or misbehaves while at Cottonwood.
Dunn: "This is one of the very few instances I've seen where they just believe that this offender should not be in the public for a period of time."
Nef was arrested almost a year ago after detectives say he sexually abused children numerous times. He was involved in lewd conduct with a three-year-old, videotaped himself having sex with a 13-year-old, and forced a 12-year-old into lewd conduct with a dog.
Dunn: "In the sex arena of sex offenders, this is probably the worst we've ever seen in Jefferson County."
Because Nef's sentence is a minimum of five years, he won't be automatically released at that time.
Depending on his behavior and other factors, he could be behind bars the rest of his life.
A 45 year old Fowler man will be arraigned June 3 on charges that he sexually abused two girls.
A St. Lawrence County grand jury handed up a 37 count indictment against Marshall Clement of Popple Hill Road.
The indictment includes:
- 13 counts of second-degree rape
- 10 counts of unlawfully dealing with a child
- 8 counts of second-degree sexual act
- 3 counts of third-degree sexual abuse
- second-degree attempted rape
- first-degree sexual abuse
- endangering the welfare of a child
The indictment says Clement gave a 14 year old girl alcohol on several occasions.
Clement also is alleged to have had sexual intercourse and oral sex with a 14 year old girl in June, July and August of 2006 in the Town of Fowler.
He also allegedly had sexual contact with the same teenager in May 2006 in Harrisville and with an 11 year old girl while she was sleeping in December 2005.

Couple face more charges in sex abuse case
By RICK YENCER
MUNCIE -- A Muncie couple accused of sexually abusing a woman in their care for years face additional charges of rape in a case that Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney calls disturbing.
Patricia Ann Tackett, 47, and her husband, Duane R. Tackett, 48, told Delaware Circuit Court 5 Judge Chris Teagle they had no jobs and survived on disability when seeking public defenders to represent them.
This week, Teagle set Sept. 16 trials for the Tacketts, who face felony charges of rape, sexual misconduct with a minor and child solicitation. Duane Tackett has an additional charge of criminal deviate conduct. The Tacketts could face a maximum 20-year prison sentence on each felony charge.
Muncie police arrested the Tacketts two weeks ago after the alleged victim, who is mentally disabled, told an aunt about how Duane Tackett has had sex with her over the past 13 years, since she was a teenager.
Police say that Patricia Tackett was willing to give up the alleged victim to her husband for sex.
The Tacketts remain in jail with Duane Tackett held on a $65,000 bond and Patricia Tackett's bond at $45,000.
Another high-profile abuse case involving an 85-year-old woman allegedly battered by her daughter also saw a preliminary hearing this week.
Terrie L. Moore, 54, appeared before Delaware Circuit Court 4 Judge John Feick and pled not guilty to felony charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury, battery resulting in bodily injury, and neglect of a dependent and also a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief.
Police accuse Moore of refusing to feed her mother along with battering her, hiding her hearing aid and false teeth and locking her in her room.
Feick set Moore's trial for Oct. 6, and the defendant has been out on bond since her arrest.
McKinney said a great majority of abuse cases, whether child or elder, are committed by someone close to the victim.
"It seems all the more disturbing when it is a close relation like parent-child particularly because those are the people we all expect to take care of each other," he said.
The prosecutor's office has seen an increase in child- and elder-abuse cases for several reasons.
A rapidly growing population of elders has caused those cases to increase, McKinney said. More child pornography available online also is impacting child-abuse cases.
"Confidence in the system and a better-educated populace who have some idea what to look for and who to report abuse to leads to more reports," McKinney added.

BCTDot Post Part #1
David Crow is hung over.
David Crow is hung over.
Pete has posted a website called Orchard about a startup that buys and sells used iPhones. It is a great place to find used iPhone 6S and a used iPhone 6S Plus.
One thing I hear over and over from other software designers is "You're good, why aren't you doing 'real' coding?" To me, that is an absurd comment. The code that I write has a wider audience and a bigger "splash ratio" (usage mixed with mindshare) than anything a "real software designer" will ever imagine.
The fact is, that doing *quality* web software design is probably the most difficult kind of coding in the world. You code must run on any platform, has distributed computing issues, widely used, often contains 100k+ row databases, and must have *instant* feedback. It gets incredibly difficult!
Forget HTML hacking, that's fine. Writing a dynamic PHP script… wonderful! But when you get down to it, coding *real* web apps (with objects, quality, scoping, scaling, etc) is incredibly difficult and fulfilling at the same time.
Anyhow, read Pete's rant. Its quite good. He lays out some major things we should look for when designing our systems. Sort of setting the bar on what the user's interaction experience should be.
Last night was TorDemoCamp5 (they aren't ones for brevity).
Pete from Unspace made a demo of their releaseme.ca livesearch feature (very cool!) and their datagrid. Datagrid basically lets you…. well, go here and see http://www.unspace.ca/datagrid … So you can edit information live in a table and have it automatically update as you leave the field. Anyhow, I had a plugin mostly written to automate that process. However, it was lost in the GCo2006 (Great Crash of 2006). {/me weeps}
Anyhow, there were some really cool demos like the Blog Matrix system and this CRAZY THING CALLED "DabbleDB". Absolutely amazing. Written in Smalltalk, its a website where basically you can just tag and describe all your data and sort it and filter it and re configure it.
For instance, you might use a spreadsheet to do your expenses. Use dabble db! It can sum and group your expenses. Student lists, done! Anything, done!
Its the kind of stuff that makes me realize that as good as I am at what I do, I won't ever be *that* good.
Well, I was hired part-time at http://www.unspace.ca which is pretty frigg'n cool. The guys that work there are really cool guys (all 3 of them), so I'm very excited about it. Its only 2-3 days a week at first, but that's just fine with me at this point in my life.
I'm excited to really get down and collaborate on some really nifty rails stuff.
In other news, I had a hard-drive crash this weekend. In the wreckage was PoundSix.com (nearly finished), and two plugins (FormValidator and ActiveGrid). Other things escaped, but those bits of software are forever lost.
Well, I did write a cool little HTML => RHTML converter script. I might post it on the unspace website, but then again I may announce it here.
Oh, and before I forget…. BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT STUFF… NOW!
So, when I lived in New York, I could deal with $10 a ticket in Manhattan. I mean, it is Manhattan and it was only the biggest theatres in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
However, nearly every theatre in Toronto is $12 dollars. Even ones that are out of downtown center. It really makes me crazy. In an age when we can buy a DVD for $12, THAT is the price they charge for just *one* ticket. And, don't even talk to me about being able to download the movie.
That is an absurd price. However, there is ONE theatre which bucks this trend, and I really want to give them a shout-out. Rainbow Cinemas at Market Square is a theatre which doesn't put a lot of money into looking stylish and occasionally is a week late on getting some movies, but they charge $6 a ticket at night… and $4 during the day.
Not only that, but they also have a mix of big budget movies and smaller independent films. It makes me feel like the theatre is run by actual people who actually love movies themselves. Not an evil corp who just wants to bleed the fun out of movies.
I mean, for just two of us to go to a movie at a Cineplex theatre (they own about 90% of the theatres in town) is $12 * 2 = $24 dollars, then you have to add on tax at 12%. That's enough to buy three dvds in the bargain-bin or two brand new dvds from movies that came out not more than 3 months ago (thanks to the fast DVD turn around these days.)
Here are the personal facts for me. I don't download movies. I love movies. I can't afford to see the movies I want to see at most theatres. I would pay if I could afford $25, I just can't pay that once a week. So, why not just download them. They aren't losing anything since I couldn't pay it anyway. So, what's the problem?
That being said, I'm not going to do it. But, I just hate hearing the movie industry bitching about the fact that people download movies…….. I wonder why? Duh!
As some of you may know, on occasion I enjoy a little dose of reality via reality TV. Tonight after a 11.5 hour day coding I sat down with Lucas and watched the second episode of American Inventor. In case you've never heard of the show, basically it involves an American Idol like process where an inventor shows his invention and then the judges vote on whether to give them seed money to further their invention.
Often the episodes focus more on the outrageous inventions and the more emotional stories. On episode two they had Marc Griffin on the show to explain his game of "Bullet Ball". Basically this game involves a table with two raised sides and a player at each end. Then the players try and push a ball back and forth using their forearms and the back of their hands. The game looked like quite a bit of fun. Marc was a gracious and warm presenter who showed that he really had a passion for the game. And, heck, I wanted to play! Marc revealed that he had sold all of his possesions to get there that day and to pitch this idea. His wife even sold her wedding ring and they sold their home. He has spent the past 26 years thinking about this game and perfecting it.
Now, admittedly, that is going a bit far. But, if any of you could watch him make his presentation and see the grace, ease, and confidence with which he presented his game then you would understand that this isn't any old crack. This is a man with a vision and a quite fun game to play.
They told him no. Every single one of the judges said no. He kept himself from breaking down. He walked away a broken man. And his last words were "Nothing is going to stop me from bringing this game to the world."
Literally, it emotionally devastated me. I had to stop the program, unsubscribe from further downloadings. I will never watch that show again. It aboslutely broke my heart. I haven't really been able to talk for about an hour now.
I think its even more disturbing because of the obsession that getting thesynk.com going is for me. Like, I spend at minimum 10 hours a day. Its my passion.
And here is this guy, and he was just torpedoed. Bagh. Please don't watch American Inventor. Boycott!
Anyone want to play a game of Bullet Ball?
Unsustainable work levels are fun.
Look at the beautiful simplicity of the new C++….
using Vec = vector >; Vec v = { 2.3, 1.2, 6.7, 4.5 }; sort(v); for(auto p = v.begin(); p!=v.end(); ++p) cout < < *p << endl;
Its almost readable, no? Everyone can see what its saying. Its like reading english! Blegh.
Let's try that same thing in ruby and try and guess what it does.
hash = [ 2.3, 5.3, 5.4, 6.3 ]
hash.each do |item|
print item
I bet even adam could figure out what that does. And, since I can't resist…
[2.3, 5.3, 6.4, 5.3].sort.each { |x| print x }
Not as easy to read, but to the point!
As some of you may know. I'm involved in the very early phases of launching a startup company here in Toronto. We formed the company (not legally, but in agreements) on March 1st. We are going to launch our website on June 1st.
I've been writing the application (Rails) non-stop since then and have an incredibly hurried release schedule. My partners have been urgently working on the business plan and getting out the plan to venture capitalists.
Well, last thursday we sent out the business plan, and already we have meetings with over 5 venture capitalists. We're seeking $1MM in funding.
Anyhow, the good-scary news is that next Thursday we have a meeting with GrowthWorks here in Toronto. That's when I have to make my technology presentation. Which, not to geek out too much, but its really, really interesting. We're writing these really cool heuristics to actually *do* something with friending/social networks.
Like, there are sooooo many social networking sites out there, you could get dizzy thinking about it. If you had asked me 4 months ago what market I would want to stay out of mostly because of saturation, its social networking and dating. And, well, we're kind of doing both of those. Along with a bunch of other features. And, its those "other features" (which, I'm purposefully not revealing here) that make me willing to dedicate my life for the next few months to this purpose.
None of the sites you might be a member of actually *do* anything with the fact that you are friends. The only thing you can do is stay in contact, browse your extended friend network….. and….. ummm…. and….. that's it!
Now, I will say off the bat. Our individual features are available on like 6 different sites if your merged them all together. We aren't only going to just slap them all together, but we're going to use the data from each section of the site to power all the others.
It is going to be awesome.
Stay tuned!
Dearest Adam,
I know you aren't a retarted monkey. But, you understand that the Save button simply saves
the file… while the "Publish" button is most-likely what you were looking for.
Yours Truly,

The Brain Activity Map Project and the Challenge of Functional Connectomics
A. Paul Alivisatos, Miyoung Chun, George M. Church, Ralph J. Greenspan, Michael L. Roukes, Rafael Yuste correspondence email

The function of neural circuits is an emergent property that arises from the coordinated activity of large numbers of neurons. To capture this, we propose launching a large-scale, international public effort, the Brain Activity Map Project, aimed at reconstructing the full record of neural activity across complete neural circuits. This technological challenge could prove to be an invaluable step toward understanding fundamental and pathological brain processes.

About a week ago, Veil of Maya put out a little parody video of Breaking Bad. It had to do with their new vocalist (Lukas Magyar) defending his right to sing with clean vocals. As a longtime fan of Veil I never thought I'd see the day where they include clean vocals. But damn, I'm actually pretty glad that I was wrong on this one. This new track embodies everything that Veil represents. Crazy guitar riffs by the always innovative Marc Okubo, with bass lines and beats to match provided by the Higler and Sam Applebaum. Then we get a taste of Lukas and his cleans. Let me say this: this dude can sing. He has not only a great range with his cleans, but his screams are tremendous across the board. Even from the live footage that I've seen so far of him performing with the band on some older songs, he kills it. Adding in cleans adds a whole new element to this band without leaving behind what they've been all these years.
With the release of this new song, the band also announced that their upcoming album is titled Matriarch and will be available May 12th 2015. Pre-order bundles are up and I highly suggest looking into this album. Veil have yet to release a disappointing album and with this new direction that they are moving in, I'm sure that Matriarch will provide some of their best material to date.

For those of you who dont know, SXSW Interactive is a once a year event held in beautiful Austin, Texas where some of the world's most well-known, male, web 2.0 Twitterati get together, talk to the prettiest girl they have ever met for 15 minutes, ride a mechanical bull and then throw up in the lobby of their hotel. Females in the IT industry also attend and contribute.
GRL was invited to give "the best keynote of SXSW" (so that's what we did). Unfortunately, My partner Evan could not attend because he likes to eat food and sleep indoors (pussy). If you also could not attend, you can still watch video documentation of the Keynote below.
GRL with Virginia Heffernan @ SXSW Interactive Part I
GRL with Virginia Heffernan @ SXSW Interactive Part II
Another video on Youtube of the Keynote presentation that includes the part of the talk (edited from the official SXSW documentation) where i mention Evan didnt come because SXSW doesnt pay their contributors. In the end we are all tricksters to some degree, aren't we.
Thanks to Virginia, Ben,Raina, Jessica, ELLIOTT, Jaja, Shawn, Hugh, Souris, Ben C, Jamie, Rocketboom, Ronen V, Jen B, the haters (for speaking your mind), and all the nerds I've loved before…
Sorry Ms. Jackson, but I just gotta say it… Is it me, or was Barack Obama a lot cooler a few months back when he was Muslim?
I know I'm not going to make any friends among the land-locked flocks in the Obaaaaahmanation, but from this perch in Berlin, orbiting the U.S.A. (third rock from the Sun), one of Obama's inaugural notable quotables has raised my warning flag:
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect…
…To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
~ Obama
Hm? Vielleicht? I'm sorry ya'll, but i don't care how competent a high-five our current Commander-in-Chief can administer, I think this comment, specifically the last line, is lame in *at least* two ways: 1) it completely defers responsibility for the current SNAFU in the middle east away from the U.S. (Why dont we remove those bases in Saudi Arabi, stop the failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop funding the massacre of Palestinians by funneling billions into the Israeli military, stop meddling in other countries self-determination as we have done in Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan, Palestine, etc… maybe that fist will just naturally open up a lil bit, eh?) and 2) it begins the era of brand new war on an wholly undeserving front: the war against Fists.
I, for one, love the symbolic power of the fist. I like mine served raised and clenched. But, I'm not the only one: The clenched fist has been a symbol of resistance and solidarity across a wide range of ethnic and socioeconomic peeps and political organizations for generations, to name just a few:
The American Indian Movement,
And the Pro-Beard Lobby.
From the young,
To the old,
From souljas,
To sailors,
To civilians,
From the big,
To the small,
From the famous,
To the infamous,
To the rest of us.
If you look for people who have fought for…
and chased their dreams of freedom and liberty in the face of resistance,
You will always find a Raised Fist.
So this one is for you Barack…
… A toast to fists: Raise em if you got em!
He would if he could…
Take a flick (under 1MB please) of you and your favorite fist, clenched and raised, and send it to email@example.com. Ill upload them here.
"First they came for the fists… and by the time they came for me,
there were no more fists to raise up…"

I have 25ft versatillity with a 2.5 BMC when i first start the boat there is white smoke for 5 to 10 minutes then it clears, and when leaving the yard at halve throttle no smoke but as i increase the speed there is black smoke ?
The white smoke is fairly normal, but the black smoke as you describe it is typical of "overloading". This is where something prevents the engine reaching the revs set on the throttle.
Once you have checked that the prop is clear, I would suspect that the prop is too "large" and is holding the revs down. I would advise talking to someone like Steel Developments (South London) or Crowthers (Manchester way?) to find out the size they suggest and then check it against yours when the boat is next out of the water.
Operating the boat is in displacement mode and trying to drive it at more than the hull design speed or a very badly fouled hull could also cause overloading. I estimate that the maximum displacement speed of your boat to be about (without any data) and trying to drive it faster that this without a much larger engine may well cause black smoke.

I also loaded this stir-fry up with veggies because I felt like we haven't had as high of a veggie intake lately as we should. This is one thing I love about stir-fries; they are a perfect way to get a nice, healthy dose of veggies.
Teriyaki Sauce
1/3 cup mirin (Chinese Rice Wine)
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup shoyu
1-2 tbsp minced ginger
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 tbsp brown rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp brown sugar
1-2 corn starch dissolved in water (depending on desired thickness)
red pepper flakes
Heat all ingredients except for corn start and water mixture on stove. Stir frequently while waiting for sauce to boil. Once boiling, add corn starch and water mixture, stirring frequently until desired thickness.
Teriyaki Stir-Fry
tofu, cut into small pieces
Teriyaki Sauce
bell pepper
snow peas
broccoli, cooked
Hot cooked, brown Basmati Rice
peanut oil
Heat peanut oil in skillet and fry tofu until it begins to brown. Add onions and bell pepper. Cook until onion and peppers begin to get soft and tofu is done to your liking.
Throw all the veggies over some brown Basmati rice, top with the sauce and enjoy!
I wanted to end this post asking for a bit of wisdom from the seasoned vegan cooking community out there. As I have mentioned before, I am just starting my vegan cookbook collection. So far I have Veganomicon. I want to get one more regular cookbook and one dedicated to desserts to start. I am thinking about Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan or Vegan with a Vengeance for my regular cookbook choice (anybody have suggestions for which I should get?), but am stumped for ideas for where to start in the way of vegan dessert cookbooks.
Any advice will be most appreciated!
'Til Friday!

I have eaten Pho, and tacos and burritos from the truck around the corner from my apartment. Muy bueno! Last night I even drew up the nerve to order in Spanish. Un burrito de pollo y un horchata. Para llevar. Ay yi yi! They make a cool cilantro-avocado sauce. Pile on the fresh lime and munch on some peppery sliced radishes and you're good to go.
We found Dino's Chicken and Burgers.
2575 W Pico BlvdLos Angeles, A 90006
Neighborhood: South Los Angeles
American-sounding. Mexican-run. Highly rated.
For $5.50 you get half a chicken on a bed of French Fries, a side of coleslaw, and a few fresh flour tortillas. So juicy, so spicy, and the fries are completely soggy, but who gives a crap. There's a small white plastic fork in the box, but I'm convinced it's just for show. You'd be a fool not to piece the chicken directly from the bone. I had a regular Coke, perfectly syrupy sweet for lunch on a late summer day.
This place totally looks like a dump of a burger joint, built in dusty maroon tile and linoleum tables. While ordering I see the grill man, turning some 15 chickens at once, covered in their red sauce, sizzling. A guitarist walks in wearing a rasta beanie for a 5-minute serenade; a few Mexican folk songs for our lunchtime entertainment. He seems like a familiar face. My favorite part is throwing the trash into a aluminum door built into the wall. It is clandestine, out of the way, perhaps a huge room full of styrofoam, soggy fries and chicken bones. Charming in it's no-nonsense.
Delicious, cheap, and quick. I will go back, after other conquests in the effort to eat at new places in my neighborhood. Korean BBQ still looming.
