Be still, my beating heart.Movie City News's Hot Blog ominously (and coyly) announces that a new Tom Cruise story is about to speed down the gossip turnpike, inevitably resulting in a fresh fourteen-car pileup of bad publicity:
Nonetheless, a little tsunami is coming, sure to be followed by waves of denials. Sigh…The next really bad Tom Cruise story is about to break - not here - and this one, to me, may be the most damaging because it is the one that shows that he has either lost complete touch with reality (and professional courtesy) or that he has completely lost control of the Scientology sled he is riding.
The funny thing, for me, is that I don't really care what religious group he wants to be a part of in his real life. And given the amount of money his face and skills can generate, I don't think Hollywood does either. But proselytizing is bad, bad, bad for business. […]
Things have been a little too quiet on the Cruise-Scientology front, haven't they? (Lawyer letters notwithstanding, naturally.) It's about time he roughed up some Ritalin-addicted kids or Brooke Shields. We don't know what's coming, but we're ready for the worst—Cruise starting a Scientology colony on the moon? Tom Cruise IS L. Ron Hubbard in Dianetics: The Motion Picture? Tom hiring Maroon 5 to play his kids' Scientology bar mitzvah? Eh, this game is no fun, because the things he comes up with on his own are inevitably much better than what we could've imagined.
Next Tom Cruise Missile about To Hit?

A friend of mine took in an owner surrender. The pup is a pure bred Great Pyr, male, about 7 to 8 weeks old and already 16 pounds. The pup appears to be very healthy -- no heart or joint issues at this point. He will be given his vaccines and started on Heartguard tonight. She is lookng to place the pup in a permanent home ASAP.
Pics to come soon.
If you're interested, please PM me.
For those who don't know what a Great Pyr pup looks like:
And here's an adult:
And the stats:
The Great Pyrenees is also known as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog. Full grown this is a very large animal with a solid muscular body. The long, coarse, outer coat is either straight or slightly wavy, while the fine undercoat is soft and thick. The coat is weather resistant which allows it to live outdoors year round in very harsh climates. Coat colors come in solid white, or white with patches of tan, wolf-gray or pale yellow. It has a black nose and dark brown, almond-shaped eyes with a thoughtful, intelligent, dignified expression. The Great Pyrenees looks a lot like a brown bear except for its light coloring. The body proportions are somewhat rectangular; the length is slightly more than the height at the withers; the topline is level. The chest is fairly broad. The head is wedge-shaped with a slightly rounded skull with no apparent stop. The medium-sized ears are triangular and pendant. The muzzle is wide and slightly pointed, and its lips are not pendent. The teeth should ideally meet in a scissors bite, but level bite is allowed. The Great Pyrenees has single dewclaws on the front legs and double dewclaws on the hind legs. The long, feathered, plumed tail curves upward slightly at the tip and reaches at least to the hocks.
The Great Pyrenees is a capable and imposing guardian, devoted to its family, and somewhat wary of strangers - human or canine. They are often used to guard livestock. When not provoked, it is calm, well- mannered, and somewhat serious. Courageous, very loyal and obedient. Gentle and affectionate with those he loves. Devoted to family even if self-sacrifice is required. It is very gentle with its family and children. It does best with children when it is raised with them from puppyhood. It has an independent, somewhat stubborn nature, and may try to dominate a less secure owner. A serious worker, but very independent. Be patient when training the Great Pyrenees, as it may be slightly difficult. It is important to socialize and train this breed properly to insure good citizenship. Male dogs can be aggressive with other animals. The Great Pyrenees is good with non-canine animals, and usually loves cats. These dogs do not reach maturity until they are about 2 years old. Some are not good off the leash and may wander away. The Great Pyrenees tends to bark a lot and some tend to drool and slobber.
Height: Dogs 27-32 inches (69-81cm.) Bitches 25-29 inches (63-74cm.) are the average heights, but some Pyrenees are as much as 40 inches (1 meter)
Weight: Dogs from 100 pounds (45kg.) Bitches from 85 pounds (38kg.)

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Oct. 31, 2007) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the indictment of Cheryl Crabtree, 62, of Phoenix, on charges of fraud and theft.
According to the indictment, Crabtree embezzled more than $200,000 while serving as a bookkeeper and then as chief financial officer for the Tucson company Dot Kret and Associations (DKA). This company places mentally/physically challenged adults in work situations throughout Arizona. The indictment alleges that Crabtree embezzled the money over a period of 13 years.
Crabtree was arrested Tuesday and is being held in the Pima County Jail on $300,000 bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 6. The case is assigned to Pima County Superior Court Judge Hector Campoy.
The indictment is the result of an investigation by the Attorney General's Special Investigation Section. If convicted of all charges, Crabtree faces up to 12.5 years in prison. Assistant Attorney General John Evans is handling this case.

WINCHESTER, Va. - No. 17/21 Shenandoah University ran its winning streak to three games with a 14-5 non-league baseball victory over Stevenson University Thursday evening.
Shenandoah (29-10), the nation's leader in home runs, hit two dingers against the Mustangs (20-20-2).
Senior Cory Nelson hit the second of these two home runs to tie the career record at SU.
Nelson now has 30 career home runs to tie Scott Van Dusseldorp '10 for the all-time lead at Shenandoah.
Nelson's blast, with one out in the fifth, gave the Hornets a 9-3 lead.
Stevenson had scored one run in the first off of SU starter Vince Claudio (6-1) before the Hornets answered with four runs in the bottom of the frame and another four in the second to take a commanding lead.
Claudio allowed five runs on nine hits and one walk in 6.0 innings before turning it over to freshman Matt Riegler for the final nine outs.
Riegler gave up three hits and walked three but struck out two and got two double plays (including a game-ender) to only face the minimum nine batters.
Shenandoah banged out 17 hits in the win, including at least one by all nine starters and four from senior Jake Pendergraft.
Pendergraft had the Hornets other home run, taking Stevenson starter Drew Hutton (0-1) deep in the bottom of the second.
Nelson finished his day 3 for 5 with four RBI on the home run and a double.
Designated hitter Nick Beall was 3 for 4.
SU completes its regular season on Sunday with a 2:00 contest against Wesley.

Westhill Consulting British Colombia Langford strikes bowling deal
Langford strikes bowling deal to spare taxpayers.
Think of it as a municipal government version of bowling for dollars.
Langford has struck a deal with the private operator of Langford Lanes that will see the city pay for about $398, 000 worth of building improvements in exchange for a larger share of the bowling operation's gross revenues.
"It's a great deal for us, long term," said Mayor Stew Young. "It guarantees the taxpayer, no matter what politician is in, a revenue stream. So when they the bowling revenues grow, we grow. "
Westhill Consulting British Colombia
Under the original operating agreement, the operator, Planex Development Corp. doing business as Langford Lanes, was responsible for the almost $400, 000 cost of what were considered tenant improvements.
But after looking at receipts and projected revenues, city staff proposed instead to amend the agreement so the city would cover the cost of the improvements in exchange for a two per cent boost in the citys share of gross revenues, to 14 per cent from the current 12 per cent.
The operator agreed.
City staff estimate that based on existing annual gross revenues of $2.5 million, the additional two per cent would be equivalent to $50, 000 — enough to cover the additional capital costs and interest in eight years.
"Once the tenant improvements are paid, the city would continue to net additional revenue for the balance of the contract term — an estimated $550, 000 over 11 years," the staff report said.
"The risk of permanent decline in revenue is deemed to be small given the level of activity to date, the opportunities for revenue enhancement being contemplated by the operator and the professionalism shown by the operator thus far," the report said.
"What I'm looking for is long-term revenue streams, so I get rent and a share of their revenue," Young said.
The 20-lane Langford Lanes 10-pin bowling facility is part of the citys City Centre Park entertainment complex, which has a 400-seat NHL-size ice rink, a restaurant and party rooms, outdoor ice skating, a dry-floor arena, miniature golf, play zone, splash park, fitness centre, trails, bike rentals and playing fields.
Young said Langford receives inquiries from across the country about its recreation facilities at City Centre.
"I want some sort of private-sector mix where a business down there makes money and they give us a percentage of the food, the alcohol — everything," Young said.
The idea, he said, is to eliminate the need for a taxpayer subsidy of the facilities.
"The model works good but we are new at it and we are trying to wiggle and waggle and make it good for us and good for them."
Young said the recreational facilities — operated through public-private partnerships — are a great deal for taxpayers, unlike the publicly funded Juan de Fuca recreation complex.
"Juan de Fuca costs Langford taxpayers $2.4 million a year in subsidy. Thats a huge cost to our taxpayers. Down there at City Centre, to run all those facilities costs taxpayers about $150, 000 a year, "Young said..

Advertising on caution tape at HPD crime scene raises questions
"Crime Scene Do Not Cross." Those words - written in black, block letters across a thin yellow plastic strip - are a recognizable mainstay at almost any criminal investigation site.
However, onlookers passing by a fatal crash Monday in south Houston saw what appeared to resemble an advertisement surrounding the wreckage rather than crime scene tape. The words on the caution tape read, "Garage Floor Coating.com" along with a phone number for the company.
It turns out the Houston Police Department isn't suddenly commercializing crime scenes.
After investigating the matter over two days, officials determined the use of the Garage Floor Coating tape was an isolated instance, and they do not purchase crime scene tape showing advertisements, said department spokesman John Cannon.
A patrol officer arriving at the crash scene Monday morning quickly grabbed tape that was in the cruiser he was driving, Cannon said. The officer did not realize what the tape said until it was taken down after the wreck.
It's still unclear how the tape ended up in the police vehicle.
Firm's special design
Joyce Chmura, operations manager for Garage Floor Coating.com, a company based in Arizona that specializes in garage floor coating techniques, said the caution tape was specially designed for their business. Workers erect the tape around garages, walkways, driveways and patios that have been freshly coated. The tape also acts as an advertisement for the company.
Chmura said the business does not distribute its caution tape to police departments.
"We did not distribute to anybody unless you're an authorized dealer or franchisee," Chmura said, adding that she does not know how Houston police might have come across the company's caution tape.
Darrel Johnson, the sole authorized dealer for the garage floor coating company in the Houston area, said he orders two to three rolls per year and has never shared it with anyone.
"I don't know how it possibly could have gotten there (at crime scene)," he said.
Captured on camera
The matter is being addressed with the patrol officer, Cannon said, adding that the division commander also is asking all patrol officers to check their police vehicles for such caution tape.
News crews and photographers captured the caution tape strung outside the crash site in the 2400 block of Holman. Authorities said the wreck occurred around 4:30 a.m., when the driver of a sports utility vehicle crashed head-on into a Houston Fire Department ambulance parked outside a home. The crash forced the ambulance into another HFD emergency vehicle parked nearby.
The SUV driver died. Five firefighters had minor injuries and were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

Watch this video. Did the Band of Horses song make you cry? That's okay. That's most people's response. We know, we know — how could this video actually be horribly offensive? Well …
It's actually a pretty blatant ripoff of this other commercial from a few years prior:
Maybe the real takeaway from these commercials is to never hug anyone in a bear suit — it's probably just somebody trying to teach you a lesson.

As far as I know, The Soul Expedition Club, located at Underground from 1971 until 1974, has the distinction of being the only major music club in the city to be owned and developed by a prominent Baptist preacher.
Freddie Terrell's band played every Sunday at Dr. W.J. Stafford's Free for All Baptist Church on Lynhurst in Southwest Atlanta and also backed Stafford's 1971 LP Drop Drugs…Get Hooked on Jesus. Terrell suggested to Stafford that the band have their own club so that the various members wouldn't have to go on the road constantly to make a living and thus miss their weekly church gig. Stafford obliged by buying a space in Underground, transforming it into a music club, and naming it after Terrell's band, a funky rhythm and horns ensemble. The club was immensely popular for several years, especially with locals.
Several years ago, my friend Matt Miller interviewed Freddie Terrell about his musical career, especially the years he fronted the Soul Expedition band. I operated the camera during this interview. Matt's full interview with Terrell can be found in the April/May 2007 issue of Wax Poetics.

The recent National Association of Music Merchants trade show in Anaheim was not only a nexus for instrument manufacturers and retailers, but also a venue for educators. NAMM's devotion to music education is also reflected in its vision and mission statements, so we have highlighted some of our favorite products and programs that were on display this year.
Product: Beamz
Company: Beamz Interactive Inc.
Based: Scottsdale, Arizona
Price: $249
Information: www.thebeamz.com
Beamz is a special stand which emits four class II laser beams. Interfaced with your computer, it produces musical sounds when your finger breaks the beams. The basic library boasts hundreds of instruments and encompasses all genres of music. You can play up to 12 different instruments per song. The unit also records and saves the music you play if you wish. An upgrade is available so musicians can import their own samples.
"The Beamz is used in educational environments to inspire kids to experiment with hundreds of instruments," sales manager and product specialist Cody Myer said.
Beamz can be used to hone and develop fine and gross motor skills, cognition and to teach people about music. The company, which was started in 2008, has created activity guides for teachers that include lessons on beats, patterns, memory and recognition, as well as scientific methods. Consumers can find 10 free downloadable activity guides in the healthcare section of Beamz website.
Beamz also offers adaptive keyboard and eye gaze applications so the system can be used by people with physical disabilities.
"The way the music is designed it's going to be harmonious no matter how or when they do it because it's all quantized to sound good," Myer said.
Beamz is also continuing to work with major artists, such as bassist David Ellefson of Megadeth, jazz drummer Peter Erskine and guitarist Craig Chaquico of Jefferson Starship, to create more content.
Product: Student guitar line
Company: Hohner Inc.
Based: Glen Allen, Virginia
Cost: $150-$200
Information: www.hohnerusa.com
Formed in 1857, Hohner is primarily known for its harmonicas and accordions, but many school programs use its guitars. Its student guitar line is one of the few brands in the world designed in different sizes.
"The theory of it is the right-sized instrument for the right-sized student, said product manager Rock Clouser. "We want to inspire younger kids to get the right size for them so they're not fighting the instrument."
Guitars are available in one-half, three-quarters and full-size with steel or nylon strings, allowing children to play different styles. Every instrument also comes with a certificate for a free lesson with Taylor Robinson Music Co. at your home or online through Skype.
Clouser has been playing guitar since age 9 and is a former guitar teacher. He believes that the guitar is a great way to introduce people to playing music because it's portable and you can quickly learn a few simple songs.
Product: Mariachi instrument line
Company: H. Jimenez
Based: Glen Allen, Virginia
Cost: $189-$699
Information: www.hjimenezinstruments.com
This year at NAMM, H. Jimenez, an umbrella company of Hohner, was launched with a line of four instruments — bajo quinto, guittaron, nylon string guitar and vihuela — geared to mariachi students.
"Every month there are 50,000 Latins turning 18 for the next 20 years in the USA, and when you look at that, it's a growing market," Clouser said. "There are also seven accredited universities that are giving certificates for teaching Latin and mariachi programs in particular. There are over 500 programs offering mariachi programs in the U.S."
To answer this increasing call for Latin music, Hohner paired up with Hilario Jimenez, a luthier specializing in handcrafted instruments, and collaborated with him to get a true sense of the design and sound of each offering in the mariachi line.

It's not the Resurrection, dammit! It's the Incarnation!An editorial in National Catholic Reporter reminded me of this story in The Monk's Tale, a biography of Diekmann by Kathleen Hughes. When I was at the School of Theology, she came onto the Collegeville campus to gather stories for her book about our colorful and inspirational professor, Godfrey, as he was known by students and fellow professors. The first-name basis at SOT is one of my fond memories of those years, and I'm proud to have my own memories of Godfrey Diekmann, who played an important role in contemporary Church history.
Godfrey passionately preached the implications of the Mystical Body—that we share divinity. This is the Incarnation, and Christmas is the feast of the Incarnation. In the traditional Christian perspective, God's entry into time and history happened at the birth of the Nazarene, Jesus. But let's not worship an external God-image, which is a form of idolatry. We incarnate or embody the Divine. We are the eyes, hands, and feet of Christ, and I don't mean a man, and by "we" I don't mean only Christians. Divinity resides in the heart of the Hindu, Inuit, Muslim, Sikh, animist, whatever. Eternity is enfleshed in all creation, and our distinctly human task is to consciously advance this process of Incarnation.
When I said something like this in a blogspot a long time ago, someone commented that non-Christians would object to being called "the eyes, hands, and feet of Christ." I have to agree. I'm doing my best here to bridge Christian doctrine with other spiritual systems, and I inevitably offend one side or the other. Speaking as a Christian, I'm comfortable with Christian terms, but I have no patience with traditionalists bent on preserving the literal and exclusive understanding of our religious doctrines.
A Buddhist interviewed in Sacred Journey (summer 2009), said of the Dalai Lama,
He feels that even if someone is beating his body, underneath the cells of his body is the realm of pure light that is blissful. . . . welling up from the core of the reality of life, an infinite sustaining energy, which is what I think all highly spiritually developed people tap into, whatever they call it.How well this captures incarnational possibility!
I think that, if Godfrey were working in this new century with its wealth of alternative spiritual voices, he would have listened. He would have synthesized the Dalai Lama's view with Paul's "Christ lives in me." And he might even have seen the link with secular humanism, which more than religions has advanced human dignity and human rights around the world.
Carl Jung led the way toward integrating Christian doctrine with secular spirituality. He showed that our thinking I, our ego or conscious mind, needs to become aware of our unconscious totality, our Higher Self. And this inner Self "cannot be distinguished from God-images," Christ, of course, the prominent example. How do we achieve this union of ego with divinity? Jung, the depth psychologist, said, "God becomes manifest in the human act of reflection." But I like the Christian image of becoming "the eyes, hands, and feet of Christ."
We are called to become Mothers of God in a Virgin Birth.
Now a response to my latest posts that came to me by email. I got permission to quote Ron Ohmann because his comment may help others to understand my message:
Thanks, Jeanette. Although we enjoy the prevailing Catholic/Christian "take" on Christmas, we remind ourselves it is largely mythology. It really is beautiful mythology which is why it has such strong cultural appeal, I suppose. But, as thinking Catholics who read Bp.J.W.Spong, yourself, and others, we are, I believe, more realistic regarding Christmas and other aspects of Christianity. It is, I feel, the only way one can truly grow spiritually as a Christian. Happy New Year, Ron

I'm watching this video and all I can think is "I bet every actor and actress in it, with the possible exception of the elderly couple, probably use Macs, iPads and iPhones in real life." They wouldn't be caught dead with a Microsoft product.
If they aren't it's only because their parents wouldn't buy them something from Apple.
These new Surface products look great and I'll be trying them out.
Just like I tried out the Zune back in the day. They had great commercials, too.

Azerbaijan, also spelled Azerbaidzhan, officially Azerbaijani Republic, Azerbaijani Azärbayjan Respublikasi, country of eastern Transcaucasia. Occupying an area that fringes the southern flanks of the Caucasus Mountains, it is bounded on the north by Russia, on the east by the Caspian Sea, on the south by Iran, on the west by Armenia, and on the northwest by Georgia. The exclave of Naxçıvan (Nakhichevan) is located southwest of Azerbaijan proper, bounded by Armenia, Iran, and Turkey. Azerbaijan includes within its borders the predominantly Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, which from 1988 was the focus of intense conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The capital of Azerbaijan is the ancient city of Baku (Bakı), whose harbour is the best on the Caspian Sea.
In addition to its variegated and often beautiful terrain, Azerbaijan offers a blend of traditions and modern development. The people of its remoter areas retain many distinctive folk traditions, but the lives of its inhabitants have been much influenced by accelerating modernization, characterized by industrialization, the development of power resources, and the growth of the cities, in which more than half the people now live. Industry dominates the economy, and more-diversified pursuits have supplemented the exploitation of oil, of which Azerbaijan was the world's leading producer at the beginning of the 20th century. Fine horses and caviar continue as some of the more distinctive traditional exports of the republic.
Azerbaijan was an independent nation from 1918 to 1920 but was then incorporated into the Soviet Union. It became a constituent (union) republic in 1936. Azerbaijan declared sovereignty on September 23, 1989, and independence on August 30, 1991.
The land
Relief, drainage, and soils
As a result of its broken relief, drainage patterns, climatic differences, and sharply defined altitudinal zoning of vegetation, Azerbaijan is characterized by a wide variety of landscapes. More than two-fifths of its territory is taken up by lowlands, about half lies at 1,300 to 4,900 feet (400 to 1,500 metres), and areas above 4,900 feet occupy a little more than one-tenth of the total area.
The highest peaks are Bazardyuzyu (Bazardüzü; 14,652 feet [4,466 metres]), Shakhdag, and Tufan, all part of the Greater Caucasus range, the crest of which forms part of Azerbaijan's northern boundary. Magnificent spurs and ridges, cut into by the deep gorges of mountain streams, make this part of Azerbaijan a region of great natural beauty. At the same time, it lies within a region characterized by a high degree of seismic activity.
The spurs of the Lesser Caucasus, in southwestern Azerbaijan, form the second important mountain system, which includes the Shakhdag, Murovdag, and Zangezur ranges, their summits rising to nearly 13,000 feet, and also the Karabakh Upland. The large and scenic Lake Geygyol lies at an altitude of 5,138 feet.
The southeastern part of Azerbaijan is bordered by the Talish (Talysh) Mountains, consisting of three longitudinal ranges, with Mount Kyumyurkyoy as the highest peak (8,176 feet), and the Länkäran Lowland, along the Caspian coast. This lowland, an extension of the Kura-Aras Lowland, reaches the Iranian border near Astara.
The Kura-Aras Lowland is named for the main river, the Kura (Kür), and its tributary the Aras (Araz). The Shirvan, Milskaya, and Mugan plains are part of this lowland and have similar soils and climate. Gray soils and saline solonchaks (aridisols) and, in higher regions, gray alkaline solonetz and chestnut soils (mollisols) prevail.
A well-developed network of canals between the Kura and Aras rivers makes it possible to irrigate a major part of the lowland. The Upper Karabakh Canal, 107 miles (172 kilometres) long, provides a vital link between the Aras River and the Mingäçevir Reservoir on the Kura River. The reservoir has a surface area of 234 square miles and a maximum depth of 246 feet. The Upper Karabakh Canal alone irrigates more than 250,000 acres (100,000 hectares) of fertile land and in addition supplies the Aras River with water during dry summer periods. The Upper Shirvan Canal, the second most important canal, is 76 miles in length and also irrigates about 250,000 acres.
The dry subtropical climate of central and eastern Azerbaijan is characterized by a mild winter and a long (four to five months) and very hot summer, with temperatures averaging about 81° F (27° C) and maximum temperatures reaching 109° F (43° C).
Southeastern Azerbaijan is characterized by a humid subtropical climate with the highest precipitation in the country, some 47 to 55 inches (1,200 to 1,400 millimetres) a year, most of it falling in the cold months.
A dry continental climate, with a cold winter and a dry, hot summer, prevails in Naxçıvan at altitudes of 2,300 to 3,300 feet. Moderately warm, dry, or humid types of climate are to be found in other parts of Azerbaijan. The mountain forest zone has a moderately cold climate, while an upland tundra climate characterizes elevations of 10,000 feet and above. Frosts and heavy snowfalls make the passes at such altitudes inaccessible for three or four months of the year.
Plant and animal life
Natural vegetation zones vary according to altitude. Steppe and semidesert conditions prevail in the lowlands and the foothills of the mountain regions. The slopes of the mountains are covered with beech, oak, and pine forests. Higher up there is a zone of alpine meadows. The Länkäran region of southern Azerbaijan has evergreen vegetation and thick beech and oak forests.
In the lowlands the animal life includes gazelles, jackals, and hyenas as well as reptile and rodent species. The mountain regions are inhabited by Caucasian deer, roe deer, wild boar, brown bear, lynx, European bison (wisent), chamois, and leopard, though the latter is rare. Mild winters draw many birds to the Caspian coast, and nature reserves provide a resting home for flamingos, swans, pelicans, herons, egrets, sandpipers, and partridges.
Settlement patterns
More than half of the country's population lives in urban areas. The most densely populated region is the Abşeron Peninsula, on the western coast of the Caspian Sea. Baku, Azerbaijan's largest city and the most important industrial city in Transcaucasia, is located on this peninsula, as are other industrial towns, including Sumqayıt.
Baku is a large and attractive city situated on natural terraces running down to a gulf of the Caspian Sea. The city has a 2-mile- (3.2-kilometre-) long picturesque boulevard and many historic sites.
Other areas of dense population occur in certain lowland and foothill regions. Gäncä is the second largest town and the main urban centre of the interior.
The highest density of rural population is found in Länkäran and Masallı in the southeast. The Talysh, or Talishi—Iranian people who form the bulk of the local population—have preserved many of their old customs and traditions.
Ethnic groups
Turkic-speaking Azerbaijanis (Azeris) make up some nine-tenths of the country's population; the remaining population comprises only small concentrations of minorities—among them, Lezgians (who speak a Caucasian language), Russians, and Armenians. Ethnic Azerbaijanis combine in themselves the dominant Turkic strain, which arrived in Azerbaijan especially during the Oghuz Seljuq migrations of the 11th century, with mixtures of older inhabitants—Iranians and others—who had lived in Transcaucasia since ancient times. At the end of the 20th century, about 13 million Azerbaijanis lived abroad, most of them in Iran.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the population of the Azerbaijani exclave of Naxçıvan (lying wholly within Armenia) was almost entirely ethnic Azerbaijani, whereas the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh (lying wholly within Azerbaijan) was predominantly ethnic Armenian. In the Soviet era there were several disagreements regarding the status of the two territories' placement. After a number of reversals, the Soviet government provided that Naxçıvan was to be recognized as an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (A.S.S.R.) with close ties to Azerbaijan, while Karabakh was to remain within the Azerbaijan S.S.R. but with significant autonomy. In the early 1920s the region, including its mountainous zone, was confirmed as the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
Settlement patterns
Slightly more than half the population lives in urban areas. In the late 1980s, sizable Azerbaijani and Armenian populations were driven from each other's countries as a result of ethnic conflict and disputes over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. In addition, full-scale combat in the early 1990s, as well as territorial expansion by the ethnic Armenians within Azerbaijan, resulted in the displacement of a significant number of Azerbaijanis. Conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis over Nagorno-Karabakh, which persisted into the 21st century, was complicated by an official declaration of independence by the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh in 1992 (a claim that failed to gain recognition from the international community).
The Azerbaijani language is a member of the West Oghuz group of the southwestern (Oghuz) branch of the Turkic languages. The literary tradition dates to the 15th century. The Arabic script was used until the 20th century; the Cyrillic alphabet was introduced in 1939. In 1992 the Azerbaijani government switched from the Cyrillic to the Roman alphabet as its official orthography.
Azerbaijan is a predominantly Muslim country; more than three-fifths of the population is Shīʿite, and about one-third is Sunni. Members of the Russian Orthodox or Armenian Orthodox church constitute a very small percentage of the population.
Demographic trends
Azerbaijan has a growing and youthful population. The birth and death rates of Azerbaijan are both slightly below the global average. Life expectancy is about the same as the global average, however, about 73 years of age. More than one-fifth of the population is under 15, while approximately half the population is under 30.
The economy
Azerbaijan is a developed industrial and agrarian country. The emphasis on heavy industry has considerably expanded two traditional industries—petroleum and natural gas—but engineering, light industry, and food production are also of growing importance.
In the early 1990s Azerbaijan began a transition to a market economy. Prices of most goods were liberalized, and some state-owned enterprises were privatized. Land privatization, however, proceeded slowly.
At the beginning of the 20th century Azerbaijan was the world's leading petroleum producer, and it was also the birthplace of the oil-refining industry. In 1901, for example, Azerbaijan produced 11.4 million tons of oil, more than the United States; it accounted for more than half of world production. As the 20th century progressed, however, Azerbaijan's role in oil production decreased as the industry developed in other regions of the U.S.S.R. and elsewhere in the world.
During the 1990s exploitation of the vast oil fields under the Caspian Sea was complicated by political instability in Azerbaijan, ethnic conflict throughout the region, Russian claims on the Caspian fields, and disputes over the location of new pipelines.
Azerbaijan has other natural resources, including natural gas, iodobromide waters, lead, zinc, iron, and copper ores, nepheline syenites utilized in the production of aluminum, common salt, and a great variety of building materials, including marl, limestone, and marble.
Azerbaijan's agriculture developed considerably in the latter part of the 20th century. Almost half of the country's total area is suitable for agriculture, and some two-fifths of this is under cultivation.
Grain is the leading agricultural product, with raw cotton the second most valuable crop. Favourable conditions for grapes have contributed to the development of viticulture. Most of the grape varieties grown in Azerbaijan are used for making wine, almost all of which is exported. Other crops include vegetables (particularly early varieties), fruits, walnuts, and hazelnuts. Some districts, particularly those around the cities of Şäki, Zaqatala, and Göyçay, are—as they have been traditionally—engaged in silkworm breeding.
High commodity output is not characteristic of Azerbaijan's animal husbandry.
Azerbaijani fisheries are of particular importance because of the sturgeon of the Caspian Sea; sturgeon roe is made into internationally renowned caviar. Sturgeon stocks are being depleted, however, as a result of pollution of Caspian waters.
Azerbaijan has a diversified industrial base, with the leading branches of heavy industry—power, manufacturing, and chemical production—predominating. Branches of the processing industry, producing mineral fertilizers, gasoline, kerosene, herbicides, industrial oils, synthetic rubber, and plastics, have developed, and Sumqayıt has emerged as the major centre of this industry, as well as of ferrous metallurgy.
The country's manufacturing industries have grown considerably in the late 20th century. Azerbaijan manufactures equipment for the oil and gas industry, electrical equipment of all kinds, and many appliances and instruments. This type of industry is located mostly in Baku, Gäncä, and Mingäçevir.
Light industrial manufactures include cotton and woolen textiles, knitwear, traditional household items and souvenirs, footwear, and other consumer goods. Şäki, Xankändi, Gäncä, Mingäçevir, and Baku are the main centres of this industry. Food-processing plants are distributed fairly evenly throughout the republic.
The development of Azerbaijan's industry created a demand for fuel and power supplies. All electricity is produced at thermoelectric power stations burning fossil fuels, which have been built throughout the country.
Azerbaijan exports chemicals, machinery, food (particularly grapes and other fruits and vegetables), beverages, petroleum and natural gas, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, and other products; its imports include iron and steel, machinery, and food and beverages, particularly meat and milk. Azerbaijan's primary trading partners are Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Ukraine; the country also has trade links with Georgia, Belarus, Britain, and the Central Asian republics. Azerbaijan has no trade with Armenia because of the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Few of the rivers of Azerbaijan are navigable, and most freight—including that transported out of the country—is carried by rail and truck. Considerable portions of the rail network are electrified. The principal goods carried are oil products, building materials, timber, and grain. A major railway line traverses the Kura valley and connects Baku with Tʿbilisi and Batʿumi in Georgia. Another parallels the Caspian Sea north of Baku.
Motor transport is used extensively for both freight and passengers. Roads connect various parts of the country and are often the only means of land communication between remote mountain districts and the administrative centres and large cities.
Baku, on the Caspian, is a busy seaport, handling such goods as oil, timber, grain, and cotton. The ferry link between Baku and Türkmenbashy (also on the Caspian, in Turkmenistan) augments considerably the amount of cargo passing through Azerbaijan. Air routes connect Baku with many European and Asian cities.
Economic regions
The Abşeron region includes the Abşeron Peninsula and several other areas of eastern Azerbaijan. As a result of its advantageous geographic position, it is crossed by freight routes connecting Azerbaijan and the whole of Transcaucasia with the North Caucasus and Central Asia. Highways run from the peninsula to every corner of the republic.
Although it is on the shores of the Caspian Sea, the Abşeron region nevertheless remains one of the most arid parts of Azerbaijan. Its main natural wealth is mineral, including oil, natural gas, iodobromide waters, and limestone used in building and cement production. Baku owes its modern growth to the development of the oil industry; oil derricks encircle the city, and the oil refineries and processing plants attract workers from many areas. Modern Sumqayıt, 22 miles (35 kilometres) northwest of Baku, is currently a centre of the iron and steel, nonferrous metallurgical, and chemical industries, although the development of light engineering is envisaged.
The Länkäran region of southern Azerbaijan is well endowed by nature; warm-climate crops, such as tea, feijoa (a fruit-bearing shrub), rice, grapes, tobacco, and citrus trees, flourish there. The region also produces spring and winter vegetables. The towns of Länkäran, Astara, and Masallı are small, and local industry is mostly concerned with the processing of agricultural goods, while in the mountains the Talysh people make colourful rugs and carpets.
The Quba-Xaçmaz region lies to the north of Abşeron. Its coastal lowlands specialize in grain and vegetable production, while vast orchards surround the towns of Quba and Qusar. The mountain slopes are used for grazing. Special breeds of sheep are raised; their skins are used in the local fur industry.
The Shirvan region, an industrially and agriculturally developed part of Azerbaijan, is centred on the Shirvan Plain. The Mingäçevir hydroelectric station is located there. The area also has a well-developed network of roads. Industry is generally engaged in the processing of such agricultural products as cotton, grapes, and fruit. The most important vineyards lie in the vicinity of Şamaxı, a town famed for its wines, notably Matrasa and Shemakha, which are, respectively, dry red and sweet. In Kürdämir a fragrant dessert wine is produced. The best varieties of pomegranates are grown near Göyçay.
The Mugano-Salyan region, lying south of the Kura River and within the boundaries of the Mili and Mugan plains, specializes in cotton growing (under irrigation), producing about seven-tenths of the gross cotton output of Azerbaijan. Cotton-ginning plants are located in Bärdä, Salyan, and Äli-Bayramlı, all of which, in addition to being on the Kura River, have the advantage of being located on railways and motor roads. A thermal power station stands near Äli-Bayramlı.
The southwestern region includes Nagorno-Karabakh and the Laçin, Füzuli, and Qubadlı administrative districts. Because the average altitude is 4,900 feet, it is one of the areas in the country where broken relief impedes the development of transport, industry, and agriculture. Agricultural production is concentrated in the mountain valleys. Animal husbandry constitutes a large percentage of the gross agricultural output, the leading branches being sheep and pig raising. Grapes, tobacco, and grain are the main crops; wine-making, silk-making, and electrical engineering are the main industries.
The Gäncä-Qazax region is situated in the centre of Transcaucasia near the junction of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. The region has conditions favourable both for human life and for intensive agriculture. Trade routes have crossed this part of Azerbaijan from time immemorial, and the ancient town of Ganja (Gäncä) was founded here. It is an industrial centre, with food, engineering, chemical, and nonferrous metallurgical industries. Naftalan is a health resort.
The Şäki-Zaqatala region includes the towns of Şäki, Zaqatala, and Balakän. Its territory borders the Greater Caucasus range, which shelters it from cold northern winds. The numerous mountain rivers provide ample supplies of water, and the region is densely populated. Agricultural products include tobacco, aromatic plants (mint, basil, and roses), rice, corn (maize), and various fruits. The area is also a major producer of hazelnuts and walnuts.
The Naxçıvan region is a typical semidesert, although irrigation has made it possible to cultivate grapes, cotton, and grain. There are several sources of mineral water in the foothill areas.

Winter can be hard on a home as well as us living through it. Here are some things that will help your home survive the winter and make you more comfortable at the same time.
- Furnace inspection and filter
Your furnace may not have been running much since last winter. A clogged or dirty air filter impedes the flow of warm air. Some rooms may not heat up enough and you wind up turning up the thermostat. Remember to change your furnace filter, and have a safety and operations check done by a professional.
- Ice damming
If you have had an ice damming problem in previous winters, it will not go away by itself. It is caused by poor attic insulation and ventilation, and will prematurely age the shingles and cause heat loss. Increasing the ventilation to your attic is quick and easy. Installing additional roof vents, vapour barriers, or insulation is a bit more technical and should be done by a professional.
- Clean out eavestroughs
Leaves dropping in the fall will gather in the eavestroughs. This could cause a clog up on your roof and send water over the trough around your foundation.
- Check fire/smoke/carbon monoxide detectors
Make sure you have detectors and they are operational. Some newer detectors have 10 year lithium batteries. Keep an eye out for those.

Elton John is Doing Well After Being Hospitalized
Earlier this week, Elton John was hospitalized for a serious respiratory infection that caused him to cancel four performances of his 'Million Dollar Piano' show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. However, a spokesperson has said that the 65-year old singer is on the road to recovery.
According to ET Online, John is "at home and doing well" after his brief stay at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where he was prescribed antibiotics and "complete rest." Despite the setback, John is expected to begin a European tour Friday (June 1), which will run through mid-July, as planned. He will return to the United States in September for several dates in the South.
"It feels strange not to be able to perform these 'Million Dollar Piano' concerts at the Colosseum," John said in a statement. "I love performing the show and I will be thrilled when we return to the Colosseum in October to complete the 11 concerts…All I can say to the fans is, 'Sorry I can't be with you. I hope to see you soon at this wonderful theatre at Caesars Palace.'"
This fall, John will release a new album, 'The Diving Board,' which he claims is "the most exciting solo record I've done in a long, long time."

Wine aficionados often speak of a wine's terroir, perhaps mentioning the flinty soil the grapes were grown in, or the fog that bathes the vineyard by night. But how much of that environmental influence actually makes it into the bottle? Chemist Gavin Sacks investigates those claims in his lab, and says much talk of terroir may just be clever marketing.

Okay as promised nursery details are here. Let's start with the single item I had the most questions regarding- Henry's Big Board as we call it.
It all started with a simple idea. I wanted a huge board in Henry's room for pictures, etc. but I wanted something different than cork board. I am going to have Patrick write about the initial conversations of what I envisioned but this was the very primitive sketch of what I wanted.
In the beginning I planned on using old reclaimed floor planks from a local company that specializes in those sort of things but when hanging something over a crib, weight quickly becomes an issue. Originally I wanted this board to be much larger but again, over a crib changes some details.
So after a lot of debate about safety Patrick went to work. I had also planned on using amazing hardware for the corners but we ran into a lot of issues so in the end we used simple brackets to connect the boards.
While most of my original ideas were scrapped/edited for one reason or another, one idea did make it all the way through- burlap upholstery tape woven across the back to hold up pictures, etc. Ordered from an upholstery supplier this part was easy- weave, tighten and staple.
Several of you asked how we attached it to the wall so I included this picture to show the supports behind the board. These boards (painted to match the wall) are screwed into the studs and the board was attached to these with hanging hardware. I can tell you that board is not going anywhere, we were very careful about safety over the crib.
Up after completion.
I decided to include this too (although it is less than flattering) but it shows another view of the ceiling and light.
Closer view of materials.
Part II- Items on the board coming next.....

Why I'm So Jazzed About CDNI
By Francois Le Faucheur, System Architect, Cisco Systems
With the CDN World Summit coming up this week in London (Oct 26-28), it seems a good time to describe something that's been a working passion of mine: CDNI, where the "I" stands for "Interconnect."
What's CDNI? It's a new working group within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), co-chaired by myself and my colleague Rich Woundy, Senior VP/Software and Applications for Comcast. The working group mission is to develop standards for the interconnection of CDNs run by different operators, so they can inter-operate and collectively provide a multi-footprint CDN — thereby pooling resources that are owned and operated by multiple operators.
It's all about how to link up the world's CDNs, so that they can exchange information and work collectively. Just like the Internet was about linking up the world's IP networks.
The notion of interconnecting or "federating" networks run by different operators so as to offer global services is not new. Such activity has been defined and successfully deployed before for other technologies, such as fixed telephone networks, mobile phone networks and short message services.
Even the more specific concept of "federating" content delivery networks (CDNs) isn't necessarily new and has been talked about in the past. However, the stars seem to be aligning now so that it can become a reality: Content providers are looking for large scale delivery services with enhanced and predictable quality; service providers are deploying CDN infrastructure within their respective footprints, and standards are now being developed by the IETF working group.
It turns out that a fully featured CDN federation requires interconnection of CDNs in multiple dimensions, which are all addressed by the IETF CDNI. First, it requires interconnection of request routers, so they can achieve effective redirection across CDNs.
Second, it requires exchange of content distribution metadata so that content provider distribution policies can be enforced consistently across CDNs. Third, it requires a control protocol across CDNs so that important actions (such as purging of content items from cache) can be triggered across CDNs.
And finally, it requires exchange of logging/reporting information so that essential applications such as accounting and billing, reporting and analytics can be performed over a CDN federation.
The IETF CDNI effort kicked off as an official working group last July, in Montreal, Canada. Three documents have already been progressed to the status of "working group" document: A problem statement, a requirements document, and a compilation of use cases. In addition, many other individual Internet-Drafts proposing technical solutions for the actual CDNI protocols have been submitted to the working group and are under review. It's safe to say that this is a very (very) active group!
If you're interested, click here for information about the status, charter and all active Internet-Drafts of the IETF CDNI. Our next meeting is November 13-18 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Until then – stay tuned for a lot of activity around this subject at the CDN World Summit! Yes, I am hinting at something. If federated CDNs are up your alley, you won't want to miss Scott Puopolo's keynote on October 26! Check out http://cdnworldsummit.com/ for the keynote schedule!

Used Car Review
2010 Infiniti FX: Used Car Review
Looking more like a sport wagon with oversized wheels, the 2010 Infiniti FX elicits a strong emotional response that sometimes overrides the brain's more common-sense side. You see, while the FX is stunning both inside and out, its interior is cramped and its total cargo volume is one of the smallest in the segment. The FX is great on dry pavement, but it can't venture off-road, and its big wheel-and-tire combo isn't exactly what the doctor ordered when driving in deep snow. As most sport utility vehicle shoppers are equally interested in the "utility" part of the name, the FX would not be our first recommendation. However, if dynamic driving characteristics, blistering acceleration and strong visual appeal are the primary motivators in your used-SUV search, the FX35 and V8-powered FX50 will likely fit like a glove.
What We Like
Fluid styling; excellent performance; comfortable front seats; handsome interior; a bounty of high-tech features
What We Don't
Limited cargo space; cramped rear seat; limited rearview visibility; rough ride with 21-inch wheels; poor fuel economy
Fuel Economy & Engine Specs
The Infiniti FX35 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine teamed to a 7-speed automatic transmission. This engine puts out a respectable 303 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, and sends power to the rear wheels on 2-wheel-drive models. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the rear-wheel-drive FX35 at 16 miles per gallon city/23 mpg highway; the all-wheel-drive models earn a slightly lower rating of 16 mpg city/21 mpg hwy.
The FX50 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 good for 390 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This model is offered only with all-wheel drive and earns an EPA-estimated 14 mpg city/20 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The FX35 comes nicely equipped and includes a power moonroof, Intelligent Key keyless entry and push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control with air filter, 8-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, manual tilt/telescopic steering wheel with buttons for audio and cruise control, 8-way power passenger seat, leather seating surfaces, HID headlights, heated side mirrors, rear wiper/washer, rear spoiler, 18-in alloy wheels, rearview monitor, Bluetooth hands-free cellphone connectivity, 11-speaker Bose audio (nine speakers plus two subwoofers) with 2GB hard drive, CD player and a USB/iPod input jack. Standard safety features include front-side and full-length side-curtain airbags, electronic traction and stability controls and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.
The FX50 adds a V8 engine, all-wheel drive, 360-degree Around View monitor, a power rear lift gate, heated and cooling front seats, 21-in wheels, a power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, tilt-in-reverse side mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, Plasmacluster air filtration ionizer, hard-drive-based navigation with Bluetooth audio streaming, XM NavWeather and Zagat restaurant guide.
Options for the FX twins are bundled into packages, with many of the FX50's standard features offered as optional on the FX35. The Premium Package for the FX35 brings heated and cooled front seats with driver's-side memory, a power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, magnesium paddle shifters and roof rails. The Navigation package adds voice-activated hard-drive navigation with 8-in touchscreen and 9.3 GB of music storage, front and rear sonar park assist and the 360-degree Around View monitor. Also offered is a mobile rear DVD entertainment package and the Deluxe Touring Package (20-in wheels, AFS and maple wood trim).
Offered on both the FX35 and FX50 is the Technology package that includes Intelligent Cruise Control (maintains a safe distance to traffic ahead), Intelligent Brake Assist, Land Departure Warning and Prevention, Distance Control Assist, rain-sensing wipers, a DVD entertainment system and 21-in wheels.
Unique to the FX50 is the Sport Package, which includes Rear Active Steering, Continual Dampening Control (CDC) adjustable suspension settings, adaptive front headlights and sport front seats with power adjustable side bolsters.
The 2010 Infiniti FX retains strong 5-year resale values. However, as with many luxury brands, these figures can fluctuate widely at purchase depending on the economy, fuel prices and consumer sentiment. Both the FX35 and FX50 hold equal value, so there is no benefit shopping one over the other from a purely resale value view. To get an idea of the FX's price range, we suggest using the used-car values at KBB.com. You can also search the AutoTrader Classifieds to see which models are for sale in your area.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) currently does not have any recalls for the 2010 Infiniti FX35 or FX50.
Recall repairs are required by law even if the vehicle is out of warranty. Your dealer can check to see if the repairs were performed and, if not, will fix the car at no charge to you.
Safety Ratings & Warranties
Unfortunately, NHTSA did not test the Infiniti FX for 2010, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives it the highest rating of Good in the frontal-offset, head-restraint and seat tests. IIHS did not perform a side-impact or roof-strength test.
When it was new, the FX35 and FX50 came with a 4-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. Infiniti also offered a fully transferable extended warranty that could be purchased when the car was new, so be sure to check if the car you're buying has such a warranty. If you buy your FX through Infiniti's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, the basic warranty is extended to 72 months/100,000 miles from the vehicle's in-service date. You can also purchase an additional year of coverage through the CPO program. To qualify, a vehicle must have less than 60,000 miles and be no older than four years from its in-service date.
Other Cars to Consider
Porsche Cayenne-- The Cayenne will cost you more, but it uses its interior space better than the FX and offers the same sporty feel.
BMW X5-- The X5 is a better-handling SUV with an available diesel engine option and a small but usable third-row seat. The X5's ride, however, is harsher than the FX35 but about the same as the FX50.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport -- The Range Rover Sport isn't as fuel-efficient or powerful as the FX, but it provides much more interior room, and has excellent driving dynamics and real-world off-road ability.
AutoTrader's Advice
The FX35 with the Premium and Navigation package seems to be the right choice. The V6 engine has plenty of punch and, unlike the FX50, you can opt for or against all-wheel drive. We also like the smaller wheel-and-tire package on the FX35 due to its softer ride.

Author Notes: Lassi as you all know is a famous drink made from yogurt and fruits, the mango lassi is the most famous one. But, sometimes we make Avocado Lassi also. Although, avocados are not available in India. In my city, there is a lassi shop, whose dry fruit lassi is so famous. So, this lassi is adapted from his dry fruit lassi which is full of dry fruits. Hope you like it. —PistachioDoughnut
Food52 Review: PistachioDoughnut's Avocado Lassi is my new go-to weekday breakfast. Creamy and sweet, it is also healthful, although disguised as an indulgence (I love it when that happens). As a bonus, it could not be simpler – just add and blend. I have made it quite a few times now and found that with my regular blender, soaking the nuts overnight helps to combine the ingredients more easily as well as adding a touch more milk (or water) if it gets too thick. I also prefer starting out with half of the amount of nuts, pureeing to combine and adding more to taste. Halving the recipe is perfect for one! —gingerroot
Makes: 2 tall glasses
cup Plain Yogurt
tablespoons Honey
teaspoon Lime Juice
cup Milk (more or less, depending on your preference for the consistency)
tablespoons Dry fruits or nuts of your choice. Almonds, cashews, pistachios and sultanas are all great. Soaking the nuts overnight is optional.
pinches Salt
- Take everything except the dry fruits and nuts in a blender and blend it until smooth like a smoothie. Once it is blended then add the dry fruits also and pulse it once more till the nuts are coarsely mixed with the smoothie.
- Once ready , adjust the sweetness according to your personal taste. The dry fruits wil give it a texture, but if you are allergic to any form of nuts then do not use them.
- Serve it in a glass, garnish it with some cherries.

DADE CITY, Fla. -- Barry University women's golf team tinkered at the top for a good portion of Monday's second round at the Sunshine State Conference Championships before settling on a tie for second entering the final day of play.
The Bucs shot 301 in the second round, cutting eight strokes off their opening-round total to move to 610 as a team after 36 holes. They are tied with Lynn, who followed up a first day 314 with a 296. Florida Southern leads the nine-team championship field at 604, following a 291 Monday at Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club's 6,140-yard course.
Barry's Taylor Babcock shares the lead with Florida Southern's Barbara Vejlupkova at 3-over 147. Babcock, the Buccaneers' lone senior, shot 1-over 73 in the second round after making three birdies for the second consecutive day.
Lynn's Jessica Bradley is third, a stroke behind the co-leaders, while Florida Southern's Jackie Rajek is fourth at 149. Nova Southeastern's Liliana Cammisa and Florida Tech's Felicia's Leftinger are tied for fifth at 151.
Bucs teammate Nancy Vergara is 10th entering Tuesday's final round after shooting 75 Monday to move her two-day total to 153. Her 3-over round consisted of one birdie for the second straight day. Her birdie putt on the 372-yard No. 8 hole dropped her to 1-under for the round, following seven straight pars on the front nine.
Barry's Daniela Murray had two birdies in her second-round 4-over 76. She is tied for 14th at 155. Maria Paola Fiorio birdied two holes on her way to 79, which put her 19th from the top of the leaderboard. Nicole Ferre shot 77 after birdieing the par-3 12th for her first sub-par hole of the tournament. She stands tied for 29th on the 44-player field.
No. 1 Nova Southeastern shot five strokes higher in the second round than the Sharks did in putting up a 303 in the first, and finds itself in fourth, a stroke behind Barry and Lynn.

Note to self....
This is a photo of Lon Haldeman addressing the Oklahoma Bike Summit back in November. See the strong reflections in the shadows? Look carefully at the back of the gray shirt on the left and the black shirt of the guy in the center. This room was backlit by those curtains up front. Sunlight hit them and diffused through the room. This shot was one of the worst examples.
It disturbed me that the lens had this much internal reflection, but I didn't think it through until recently. I shot some neighbors Christmas decorations at night, and the reflection was so strong it appeared like a second set of lights! I tossed those shots away.
Light bounces around in a camera lens. Some passes through to the image sensor or film, but some small portion of it is reflected by all those glass surfaces. Most of them are coated to prevent this. That's the orange or blue stuff on the glass. Then it struck me - the UV filter I'm using isn't coated at all! In that test shot of a candle, a ghost image of the flames is hovering just above the top of the P.
Here's the same shot without the UV filter. Viola! No ghost image! Normally, I'd leave the filter in place because I can clean it with a handkerchief or even my t-shirt. I wouldn't do that to the front element of the lens. But I'll have to remember to remove the filter in those low-light situations or strong back light situations.
Learn from my mistakes!
Labels: ghost image, uv filter

Handling Errors and Duplication, 301 Redirection - Designed to be Found, Part 10
301 redirection
That all things change is a universal truth. Because of this, plus the canonicalization issues, or the need to track some URLs with query strings, using server-side redirection to seamlessly move a visitor from a deprecated URL to the preferred version is a guaranteed necessity.
Where redirection is needed, one must correctly understand the difference between a temporary redirect (server code 302 response) and a permanent redirect (server response 301).
The temporary redirect (302) says to use the temporary URL, the redirect, for now, but to continue to come to the old URL in future. This is the default version of redirect that IIS-based servers tend to give.
The permanent redirect (301) is the one most favoured in SEO terms. It says to forget the old, deprecated URL and to instead index, bookmark or update to the new URL. This is the version you must use for canonicalization and duplicate content issues, because this is the only one that says not to index the deprecated version.
In cases where server-side redirection proves problematic for whatever reason, a META REFRESH is treated by search engines exactly as though it were a redirect. A refresh with a time of 0-3 seconds is treated as if it were a 301 permanent redirect. A longer delay on the refresh is treated as a temporary 302 redirect.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0">
Checking that the correct server redirects are in place can be achieved with a variety of tools freely available online. I personally favour 'Sam Spade' from www.samspade.org but any other tool that can retrieve HTTP header information will suffice.
Look out for part 11 next week…
