"Odysseus turned his back on the harbour and followed a rough track leading through the woods and up to the hills toward the place where Athene had told him . . ."
Richard read on for a time. He was restless but tried to take an interest in Odysseus' journey to the home of his loyal "swineherd"—what a word, what a way to make a living!—who of course doesn't recognize him, nobody ever recognized anybody in these old books, but offers Odysseus a meal anyway and bangs his ear off with complaints. Now and then Richard glanced over at Ana, asleep beside him. He kept willing her to wake, to turn and open her arms to him—no such luck. Gloomy, impatient, he went back to the Odyssey. Ana had left it on the bedside table, open to this chapter, which Richard found boring and implausible. He leafed ahead to the part where Odysseus strings his bow and slaughters all the suitors, but there was a lot more fancy description and speechifying than he remembered from the version he'd read as a kid. He was supposed to have read it again, a couple years ago, as part of his freshman core at Columbia, but he'd come down with the flu that week.
It was a library book. He studied the withdrawal dates—few of them and far between—then closed it and put it back down.
Ana had only stirred a little when he turned on the lamp. Now he switched it off and plumped his pillow and fooled with the covers, hoping that all this would do the trick, but she slept on, snoring softly, face to the wall. The bed was narrow, and in the dark he became even more aware of the heat from her back and her legs, especially her legs. He touched his knee to the tender crook of hers and she drew away, leaving him jangly and resentful, but conscious also that he had no right to be, that she'd already given herself twice that night and had to get up early with a full day of waitressing ahead of her; he had only one class to attend, in the afternoon. But knowing this did not take the edge off his need—for it felt like need, nothing less—to have her against him again, her open mouth moving on his, her fingers digging into his back.
Jesus! He had to think of something else.
But what? Even thinking of something else, he'd know that he was doing it to distract himself, and that thought would lead right back to this bed, to the weight of Ana beside him, her breath, her heat. Still, if he kept it up long enough maybe he'd fall asleep, or at least be awake and ready when her alarm went off. Not that he'd pressure her. Unless they hurried, which she didn't like, she'd have to go to work without breakfast or a shower. He'd just give her a look, his special look, and she'd know, and then she could do whatever she wanted. And he wouldn't act hurt if she didn't want to. Really, he wouldn't. Not this time.
Think of something else. O.K. "The Exorcist"—this old novel he'd found in his dormitory lounge. Richard had seen the movie with the possessed girl whose head spins on her neck like a top, but he hadn't known that it came from a book—not that the book was great literature or anything. Still, it was pretty interesting. The writer had done a lot of research on exorcisms, and some of the cases were scary enough to make you believe in the Devil, at least while you were reading the novel. It turned out that there were certain priests who cast out demons as a specialty. That was their job, their market niche, waiting around like firemen for the alarm to go off. Demon in Idaho housewife! Demon in Delaware bus driver! How weird was that? As if being a priest weren't strange enough already. Richard had been sort of religious when he was young, he'd said prayers before meals and gone to Sunday school, where he'd stuck cutouts of bearded men onto felt backdrops. Church was fine, he'd always felt good afterward. He could even see maybe becoming religious again someday, when he was a lot older. But giving up women? Never kissing a woman, never having a woman's legs around you—
He sat up and reached for the glass of water Ana had left for him on the bedside table. He'd knocked it over last weekend and made enough of a fuss to wake her, but he didn't think he should try that again, so he took care picking it up and putting it down after he'd drunk his fill.
He settled back against the pillow. He closed his eyes, but just then Ana made a little snort and moved beside him, giving off a fresh wave of warmth, and, faintly, that sweet warm bed-smell of hers, like baking bread, and he lay there tensed, waiting, but she didn't move again. He heard the clock tick, his own breath returning, jagged and raspy.
He looked up toward the ceiling, at a thin bar of light leaking though the shades from the street lamp outside. No more thinking about priests—that didn't help. O.K., then, the Odyssey. He should read it again. He was going to, for sure, this time in the grownup version! He could get through a few speeches and descriptions, sort of earn his way to the good parts, especially the slaughter at the end. He liked the idea of Odysseus coming home after all his wanderings and screwups and setting things right, taking back his woman and his house, no discussion, no messing around.
Then he would read the Iliad. Also "War and Peace" and "The Brothers Karamazov." All the books that Ana had on her shelf, and actually liked. Richard was an econ major and didn't have much time for outside reading, and when he did he kicked back with a mystery, or something scary. O.K., so he wasn't a big literary type—so sue him! He'd like to see one of those sensitive souls handle the stuff he was dealing with in his International Environmental Economics seminar. Abatement Strategy Modules. Alternative Equity Criteria. General Equilibrium Impact Analyses. Go for it, he thought. Be my fucking guest.
Not that Ana was like that—a snob. She wasn't. She really loved these books, they were important to her, and Richard knew that he hadn't been entirely honest about his own tastes when they first met. He'd allowed her to think that he was a great one for the classics, and she had believed him because she had the idea that Columbia students were not only smart but cultured, and that they went to the university not to set themselves up for a fat job later on but to search for knowledge and wisdom. To become better people. She was naïve that way. Richard had liked her innocence, and the sense of adult benevolence it gave him. She was a few years older than he, and at first it sort of evened things out, him knowing the score while humoring her, letting her have her notions.
That was how he saw it then, in the beginning. Not anymore. After two months with Ana, he knew himself to be the green, untested one. Her family was Russian but they'd lived for many years in Chechnya, where her father managed a food-processing plant. During the war, the factory had been destroyed and Ana's oldest brother had been killed. The family lost everything. She'd been sent to live with her mother's mother in Tel Aviv—a widow, mean as a witch from some fairy tale. Now she was staying with an aunt here in Queens, and working illegally at a restaurant on Amsterdam. That was where Richard had met her. He'd heard her speaking Russian to another waitress, and when she came to his table he tried out a few phrases from his one year of high-school Russian, and she had almost wept with surprise and joy.
She wasn't his type, Ana—a bit heavy, round in the face. Little pockmarks on her forehead. Her English was pretty good but thickly accented. He hadn't meant to ask her out. But then he did, the very next night. A week later she took him home, to this small attic room in her aunt's house. They were just having fun, that was how he'd seen it, the two of them having some fun before going their separate ways, as people did, people their age with their whole lives still ahead of them. You didn't want to get tied down now, when you didn't know who you might still meet and what might open up, what chances and adventures.
That was the idea. Some good times, no strings. But after a month or so he saw that Ana had gone all serious on him. She tried to pretend she hadn't, but she had, and he knew it, and made up his mind to break things off. It would be wrong to take advantage of her. Also the long subway ride from his dorm and back was getting to him. But then he found that he couldn't break it off, because even with friends, even talking to other girls, he missed her, missed her throaty voice and the strange, direct way she said things, missed giving her pleasure and seeing it in her eyes. He was desolate on the nights that he had to sleep in his dorm room.
Loud voices outside—men's voices, speaking in Spanish. Ana shifted, murmured. The voices moved on. Silence. Richard sat up and took another drink of water.
Being away from her felt unnatural now. Alone in bed, sitting in class, writing an e-mail to his parents, he thought of her and ached. But it couldn't last—he knew that. And he knew now that she would be the one to break it off. Ana was already who she was going to be, and he was not. She was a woman, and he was not a man. He looked like a man, even an interesting man, dark and ruggedly handsome, with a grave, thoughtful air. But his looks didn't fit the way he felt—the way he knew himself to be. Sometimes, walking down the street, he glanced at the window of a store and was thrown by the sight of himself, as if he were wearing a costume.
Girls liked him. They assumed certain things about him, and he'd learned to act his part, but he knew this wouldn't hold up much longer with Ana. Not because she was older but because his ways of thinking were smaller than hers. He wasn't curious, as she was, didn't like and trust others, as she did, for all the hardships of her life. He complained a lot, and she never complained. And though he hated being apart from her, when they were out together he looked at other women and imagined having them, and even brought their images to this bed. Sometimes she caught him studying her coldly—wishing she'd lose weight, do something about those pockmarks—and he could feel his own smallness and triviality as the color drained from her face.
Soon enough she would see him clearly, and understand her mistake. He was already watching for signs of retreat: impatience, condescension, a certain weariness. He'd seen all this before, with the only other girl he'd been close to. Had Ana really not caught on yet? How could she not know? Was it just because he was handsome, and always ready?
Or because he was American, and maybe of use in some scheme?
No! Ana didn't think that way. And what sort of mean spirit, knowing her, could even imagine such a thing? Jesus! What had got into him? Ana was a noblewoman. O.K., that sounded like something from a book, but it was true. It was just that she'd come to him too soon. . . . She was the one he should have met later, after he'd stuck his neck out and suffered some losses, after he'd really messed things up, and been fucked over, and got lost, and kept going anyway—when this little green soul of his had taken some lumps and some weather and bulked up into a man's soul, so that he could look out of his own eyes and not feel like a kid in a mask. Then he could have come to her and strung the great bow, and laid waste to all these chickenshit doubts and wants, and claimed love as his right.
The bar of light on the ceiling paled away to nothing. Richard heard the groaning of the pipes downstairs—the aunt was in the shower. A car horn blared in the street below, and Ana stirred, turned, moved against him. He felt her hand on his hip. She whispered his name. He kept his eyes closed and did not answer. ♦

David Luiz: I'm ready to take over captain's armband
David Luiz is happy to take the responsibility of leading Brazil out in their huge World Cup semi-final against Germany.
As well as Neymar, the hosts will be without another key player on Tuesday - captain Thiago Silva, who was handed his second booking of the tournament for a block on Colombia's David Ospina last Friday.
Brazil have appealed against the caution, but they are unlikely to have it rescinded so Luiz will be the man who leads the Selecao in the Estadio Mineirao on Tuesday.
Luiz is renowned for his madcap moments on the pitch, but he takes the responsibility of captaining his nation very seriously.
The hopes of around 200 million Brazilians rest on his shoulders, but he has no qualms about leading the side in Belo Horizonte.
"I'm ready," Luiz said.
"I'm vice-captain and this group is very easy to handle because everyone's very down to earth.
"It won't be a tough job at all."
Luiz has the full support of his team-mate Hulk.
"He's just the best," the Zenit St Petersburg forward said.
"He's very caring and very attentive, no matter who he's with.
"It's not every day that you come across someone like him.
"The whole world knows what he has to offer on the pitch - and to my mind, he and Thiago (Silva) are the best central-defensive partnership in the world - but as his team-mates, we also know what a great person he is too."
Bayern Munich's Dante looks set to replace Silva at the heart of Brazil's defence.
Luiz Felipe Scolari has a far harder decision to make on who should fill the huge gap left by Neymar's absence.
Luis Gustavo will return after suspension, so Fernandinho or Paulinho could be pushed forward in a more advanced position.
Hernanes is another option open to the Brazil coach, but the more likely option would be to introduce either Willian or Bernard.
Given that he hails from Belo Horizonte, Bernard's presence in the starting XI would boost the volume inside the Mineirao, but the 21-year-old thinks that will have little impact on Scolari's thinking on team selection.
"I don't think that will make a difference," Bernard said.
"He has to choose the best option. If I am not the choice we all have to agree with what he is doing.
"It is going to be a special moment - a semi-final - and the players must be aware of their responsibility of wearing the Brazil jersey and representing the Selecao."
Neymar was Brazil's top scorer at the World Cup, finding the net four times.
He will be a big miss for Scolari, but Bernard sees no reason for Brazil to panic.
"We are all sad to have lost a great player but we will try to do our best without him," the former Atletico Mineiro midfielder said.
"We have to be calm. All of the players who are in the squad are here because they have good skills and are capable of doing a good job."
Brazil topped their group, but their performances were inconsistent in the group stages and they only beat Chile in the second round on penalties.
The hosts upped their game against Colombia, but Germany are a step up in opposition.
Joachim Low's men have been the most consistent of the four semi-finalists.
Their only wobble came against Algeria, who threatened to take them to extra-time.
Luiz is expecting a tough match.
Luiz said: "They are a great team with a great philosophy of how to play football.
"They have a lot of great players, a great coach and it will be a great game. It is a World Cup semi-final."

I'll admit it, I'm a football junkie. I love high school football on Friday night, college football on Saturday and pro football on Sunday and Monday.
I'll admit it, I'm a football junkie.
I love high school football on Friday night, college football on Saturday and pro football on Sunday and Monday.
Yes, a big part of my job is covering high school football. I don't think I could stay away from high school stadiums on Friday nights in the fall even if I wasn't required to cover games.
There is something magical about the high school game that takes me back to a simpler time. Back when communities flocked to local stadiums to support their team, and kids wanted to attend Home Town High School even when the going was rough and Rival High was on top.
If you lived in a small town, or even a big city, and the stadium was close enough to your home, it wasn't uncommon to walk to the game.
At times, I can close my eyes and drift back to my high school days at old Mercer Smith Stadium in Gulf Breeze. The memories of those days still spark a heightened awareness of all my five senses.
I can see my Dolphin team take the field amid strains of the school fight song. I can feel a rush of the cool breeze blowing off Santa Rosa Sound, just a few hundred yards away. And the scent in the air of burgers and hotdogs on the grill cooking behind the concession stand is so enticing I can almost taste them as I stand on the sidelines with my teammates.
It has been 38 years since I last played the game, but the images of teammates and coaches are as fresh today as they were when those games were played.
I can see my defensive line coach, Mike "Wild Man" Walker bouncing up and down the sidelines as he shouts words of encouragement to Dolphin players on both sides of the ball. And head coach, Jim Smith, is quickly calling plays, using an offensive lineman to relay the message in the huddle.
In my mind, quarterback Ronnie Busbee is throwing another long pass to Mort Deer. Ken Hardy is punishing tacklers as he carries the football from his tailback position and coming up with big hits on ball carriers from his spot at linebacker on defense.
Most sports writers I know prefer watching a game from the press box, but I want to be close to the action on the sidelines. I want to hear the plays that a coach calls; to see the raw emotion on players� faces.
I love hearing Matt Brunson coach up the Baker Gators. And, from what I've seen, it will be equally enjoyable watching Crestview coach Tim Hatten motivate the Bulldogs.
Yes, I am a football junkie � a high school football junkie, who was first hooked on the game so long ago.

Are these Mercedes 300D tail lights street legal?As far as we know the Sonar (aka Spyder) and KS (Anzo) brand tail lights on our website are all street legal as mandated by federal law in the United States. This basically means that they are designed to the specifications set forth by the DOT (United States Department of Transportation). Occasionally, DOT might test models for compliance. If any Mercedes 300D taillights fail (rare) DOT will have the companies issue a recall. For those tail lens, you can return them to us for a refund. For any other brands besides Sonar (aka Spyder) and KS (aka Anzo), we can not guarantee DOT compliance. Also, please be advised that your local laws that may disallow these sorts of taillights to be used.
How can I prevent my Mercedes 300D tail lights from fogging up?During the first few days of operation, it is normal to see some moisture appear in your Mercedes 300D tail lens. This is due to the small amounts of moisture in the plastic and coating that are evaporated when the tail lens are first warmed up during use. This sort of moisture is normal and should disappear within a few days.
To be sure that no external moisture gets into the new Mercedes 300D tail lens though, it is a prudent idea to silicone seal the edges. Clear silicone sealant can be found in any hardware store (and some auto part stores), and can be applied to the seam along the 300D taillights where the clear lens meets the rear housing. Also, even if a bulb has died, make sure to keep it installed in the 300D tail lamp until you replace it to prevent moisture from entering through the bulb hole.

In order to learn a new technology or a new framework, probably best way is to start looking documentation provided and Spring Framework is no short on this. Spring provides great, detailed documentation to use various features of Spring framework but despite that nothing can replace a good book.
Luckily both Spring and Spring MVC got a couple of good titles which not only explains concepts like Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control, which is core to spring framework but also gives coverage to another important aspect of Spring. Following are some of the good books available on Spring and Spring MVC which can help you to learn Spring.
Java Developers also often learn Spring and Hibernate together because of huge demand of Java Web developers with Hibernate and Spring in their CV. So, if you are looking for some great books to learn Hibernate along with Spring, then you can also check out my post 5 Great Books to Learn Hibernate.
Top 5 Books on Spring Framework and Spring MVCHere is my list of top 5 good books to learn Spring MVC and Spring framework. Let me know if you come across any other great book on Spring, which is worth adding into this list.
This is the Spring book I recommend to any Java web developer who is familiar with Java web technology or any MVC framework like Struts. Only missing point is that this book only covers Spring MVC and web flow and does not cover whole Spring framework. Also, in my opinion, their chapter on Spring Fundamentals is one of the best ways to start with Spring framework.

Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.

The entire life cycle of a protein—from synthesis and folding to transport and degradation—is carefully controlled by the proteostasis network. This network, consisting of many interconnected pathways and processes, manages protein homeostasis by dynamically responding to the needs of the cell. Stress and aging can challenge the proteostasis network, resulting in the aggregation of misfolded proteins—a feature of numerous neurodegenerative conditions.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides a comprehensive update on how the proteostasis network functions in healthy cells and the diseases that result when protein quality control goes awry. The contributors examine the relevant biochemical attributes of proteins (e.g., solubility), the functions of normal protein aggregates (e.g., biofilm formation in bacteria), and the various heat shock proteins, chaperones, translocation machineries, proteasomes, signaling factors, and transcriptional programs involved in proteostasis. The roles of specific subcellular structures—the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, and cytoplasm—in protein quality control are covered, as is the regulation of proteostasis at the organismal level (e.g., via neuronal activity).
Discussions of the responses by cells when errors in protein quality control occur, the medical disorders that can result (e.g., Alzheimer disease), and pharmacologic approaches to ameliorate protein conformational disorders are also included. This book is therefore an essential reference for biochemists, cell biologists, and all biomedical scientists wishing to understand the pathological consequences of and potential therapies for proteostasis deficiencies in common human diseases.

French playwright Yasmina Reza has remarkable consistency in her proffering of specific themes, from the most well-known, "Art" and "God of Carnage," to some of her more obscure works.
Count "Life X 3" among the latter. Though written in 2000, it explores much of the same territory as the rest of Reza's repertory. In that sense, it could have been written at any time in her career.
As in "Carnage," we get a pair of upscale married couples poking at and prodding each other in the comfortable living room of one couple. As in "Art," alliances and loyalties among the characters shift with the wind. As in both, we get a close-up look at all-too-human flaws.
Gary Krinke's staging at Stages Theatre could hardly be improved upon. In the narrow space of just over an hour, we see the same evening replayed in three different versions, giving us two alternate realities. Which is reality, we can only guess.
The opening version starts the play with a bang. Struggling astrophysics research scientist Henry (Frank Tryon) and his wife Sonia (Mo Arii) are trying in vain to get their spoiled six-year-old son, Arnaud, to stop his loud whining and go to sleep.
A knock at the door introduces the Finadoris, the couple Henry and Sonia were expecting for dinner the following evening but who are 24 hours early. As it transpires, Hubert (Karl Schott) and Inez (Cynthia Ryanen) are just as impatient and dismissive of each other as are their hosts.
The "dinner party," which consists of chocolate fingers, Cheez-Its and plenty of booze, is an unqualified disaster. Having pursued a theory about galaxy halos for more than two years, Henry is desperate to impress Hubert in hopes of getting his work published. The fact that both couples are already in foul moods only heightens the tension.
Off the bat, we see that Sonia is the disciplinarian and Henry, to the detriment of both, is the more permissive and conciliatory spouse. Yet both are more infantile than their wailing, unseen son.
As the boy's crying fits become more insistent, Inez, a psychoanalyst, chimes in with her advice, only to be squelched by Hubert. Soon the two are going at it more heatedly than their hosts – shades of "Carnage."
That Sonia stabs Henry in the back by revealing him to be a spineless kiss-up around Hubert is no surprise – nor is Hubert's condescending, malicious smarminess or Inez's realization that scientists care more about the competition of who gets published first than about the actual theories themselves.
Reza's talent lies in presenting well-heeled intellectuals who at first glance seem perfectly normal but who always reveal themselves as insecure, caustic, petty and viciously sarcastic.
Krinke brings out the tension of the opening scene while highlighting the humor generated by it. His actors create a heightened realism based on their characters' basic natures. Arii's Sonia is chic and elegant yet domineering. Tryon's Henry is soft and given to panic. Ryanen's Inez is a brilliant know-it-all and Schott's Hubert genial, cool and logical.
The first retake of the scene couldn't be more different in tone: All four are crowded around Henry and Sonia's mini-bar, loosened by libations, laughing boisterously. Emboldened by booze, Henry scoffs at his weakling reputation while Sonia is loose and chatty and Inez is philosophical. Young Arnaud contentedly watches his favorite Disney video and the four adults are polished, mature and fairly mellow (albeit blunt).
The second retake of the basic scenario traces the outlines of a lighthearted, classic comedy of manners. All four characters are kind and civil, almost warm. This Henry is utterly nonchalant, relaxed and confident and his discussions with Hubert are sophisticated and ultra-logical. And rather than bash and undermine Henry, Sonia is a supportive partner of his scientific research.
The production design's black-and-white motif spells opposition and conflict. Jon Gaw's sparkling living room set is elegant, spotless black and white, dominated by a large, circular yin-yang rug. David Campos clothes Henry and Sonia in cool white and Hubert and Inez in stylish black.
Krinke's blocking also enhances the play's themes, the actors frequently moving around the perimeter of the circular carpet, then stopping so that they form the four points of a cross.
The script calls for nuance and consummate skill, and that's what Arii, Ryanen, Schott and Tryon deliver. All four are stellar, their versatility showcased by Krinke's masterful staging.
Krinke's alternate company casts Vincent Aniceto as Henry, Traci Courtney as Sonia, Danielle Keaton as Inez and Mark Coyan as Hubert. Knowing the director's eye for the script, it's bound to be as entertaining as the performance reviewed here.

Stereoscopes were used for viewing stereo cards. Sir Charles Wheatstone's reflecting stereoscope was the first patented stereo-card viewer in 1838. The hand viewer was invented by Oliver Wendell Holmes, although more complicated table models were used before his was produced in 1859. Do not confuse the stereoscope with the stereopticon, a magic lantern that used glass slides.

A Weed Whacker has various names: String Trimmer, Garden String Trimmer, Tree Pruner, Brush Cutter, Weed Eater, etc. As other articles have aptly pointed out, An Arborist in Sunninghill these versatile garden tools come with various cc-power levels, electric versus gasoline, and 2-stroke versus 4-stroke capabilities. But what has not been addressed is the use of a "BLADE" on such a tool for all the versatile work a blade can perform in the garden environment.
A circular saw Blade specifically made for and attached to a Weed Whacker gives the following versatility uses in the garden environment:
1. Tree trimming (aka Pruning) which in many cases actually works better than using a cumbersome heavy chain saw for pruning since the circular blade can be wielded at the end of a lighter longer 6 foot Weed Whacker shaft for reaching up into trees. Arborist License Such a blade can typically cut a tree branch/ limb up to the diameter of the blade provided you cut from both sides of the limb.
2. A blade can be used for clearing large patches or even acreage of heavy thick wood stock brush and sticker brambles (aka: Blackberry sticker bushes) where a common string line spool would be much too weak to cut through adequately.
3. Hedge trimming is a dream with a blade attached to a Weed Whacker; the hedging action is faster and less jagged as compared to a standard hedging tool. So in conclusion, a blade attached to a Weed Whacker augments your common standard string trimmer into a full-on chain saw, hedge trimmer, and large acreage clearer of wood stock weed, saplings, and heavy tall growth brambles (ergo, Black Berry bushes).
Each Weed Whacker on the market is different and so each owner of their particular Weed Whacker will have to contact their respective Weed Whacker Manufacturer to inquire about BLADE attachment hardware. Most electric-powered versions are UNDER powered for handling a Blade so will probably NOT have blade attachment hardware available. On the other hand, most gasoline powered Weed Whacker's will have Blade attachment hardware available. Blade attachment hardware normally consists of a standard blade guard along with a few small metal parts that fit on (slide onto) the little threaded shaft that the String Spool screws onto. These little pieces of hardware will consist of the lower part that will have a raised circle about the size of a common 25 cent piece (quarter) or as small as a nickel (5 cent piece). How To Remove A Tree Stump By Hand this raised circle is how the hole in the center of the Blade fits on, then the upper part hardware piece variously called "the cap piece" is applied on the top of the blade, then a nut that is screwed on top of the cap, followed by a cotter pin.
Cutting Trees and Shrubs
3. Eighty (80) to one hundred (100) TEETH Blade: This is the highest level in the Weed Whacker Blade choices. It should be clear now that the more teeth you have cutting, the more aggregate cutting surface area you are applying to the job at hand. In addition, an 80 tooth blade costs more money to make as compared to a blade with half as many cutting teeth as mentioned in (2) above (40 teeth). But the cost is not typically much more if at all for having 80 teeth over 40 teeth. The 80 plus teeth blade offers the most versatility, stays sharper longer and is the best value for the buck. The 100 teeth type blade is the absolute best value since if offers 25% more cutting surface area (teeth) over an 80 tooth blade.
The one main consideration is that the typical 80 tooth blade comes in 8 inch diameter that fits with the safety blade guard ON your Weed Whacker, and the 100 tooth type blade is normally 9 to 10 inch in diameter and therefore will not allow a blade guard to fit. We recommend that the maximum size diameter blade be limited to 9 inches unless you have a very powerful Weed Whacker, otherwise the large circumference of the largest blades can bog down the motor. So in conclusion: 8″ and 9″ diameter blades are best, offer the most aggregate cutting surface, therefore stay sharper longer, and offer the most versatility of jobs in the garden. NOTE: We think Carbide teeth are so worth the small extra purchase cost that we would say a 40 tooth carbide blade would be recommended over an 80 tooth plain steel any day of the week. But the 80 tooth or 100 tooth blade with Carbide Teeth is the absolute best there is.
An Arborist in Sunninghill ?
Trees are a complement to landscaping design. They require maintenance and good care as an integral part of landscaping features. The provide the landscape design varying heights, excellent shading and are also apt for additional designs such as fixing lights on the branches. If you wish to maintain a perfect natural environment around your business or home, keep them safe from pest and disease.
The main maintenance practice depends on the trimming or pruning. These involve cutting of the branches parts and twigs. Hiring an arborist is helpful for trimming as he knows the maintenance and growth needs of varieties to perform excellent maintenance.
Tree Trimming, what it does
· Prevents pests and spread of disease: Tree trimming is essential to prevent the pests and diseases from spreading. A few branches found infested can be treated by trimming and thus the diseases may be prevented from spreading. It is necessary to trim regularly so that healthy tree population is maintained; thereby the spread of disease is prevented.
Tree Pruning, what it does
· Tree health: Trees containing diseases or dead branches should be removed. The branches may have lacked sunlight or must be damaged due to storm or pests, thus removing them are the best.
· Safety: Large branches hovering on your car, home or the play area of children and so removing eliminates the risk of branches falling.
· Aesthetic fashion: Pruning allows shaping and directing growth that it looks healthy and full. Trees are admired when it looks healthy, so hire a professional to ensure aesthetic fashion to look best.
Tree Cutting DIY Guide
Deforestation means cutting down trees, the shortage of trees. Now a days due to increasing population the rate of deforestation also increases.Forests are cleared to meet the demands of increased human population. The forests are cleared much faster than they are replaced. Due to this the wild life is effecting and become homeless. The shortage of forest is also a big problem for human life.
Reason of Deforestation: There are many reasons why people cut down trees following are the summery of few reasons.
Urban development:
Due to increase in population there is a big need to have more places to live. A large number of villagers migrated towards city for sake of jobs,food, shelter and for some other reasons so the increasing population demand for large areas. To fulfill this requirement forests are cutting down.
Eroded soil may be deposited in rivers and streams blocking the flow of water. Rain water is not retained and released slowly as trees have been removed. The water levels in river rise rapidly. Water flows inland causing floods to occur.
The destruction of land leading to desert-like conditions is called desertification. Overgrazing also leads to desertification because the vegetation cannot be replenished fast enough.
How do climate changes result when forests are cleared? In the forest, rainwater is retained and absorbed by the roots of tress. The water is lost during transpiration. The water vapor eventually condenses and precipitates as rain. When the trees are cleared, the area becomes dry and warm, and annual rainfall decreases.

Dear Friends,
Over ten years ago, the two of us met on our respective bicycles. We were preparing for a Midwest ride raising awareness and money for AIDS related charities. And now, eleven years after that first fateful training ride, we are mounting our bicycles again, with an even more ambitious endeavor in sight...
From June 8th to the 19th, we will be riding across Tanzania, Africa, starting near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro and making our way 400 miles east to the Indian Ocean. We will be joining a small group of twenty riders for the second Ride TZ, collectively working to raise awareness and funds for a beautiful organization, The Foundation for Tomorrow (TFFT).
We became involved with TFFT about a year ago and have subsequently fallen in love with their mission. Simply put, TFFT supports children aging out of Tanzanian orphanages at five years of age, enrolling them in boarding schools, providing tuition, foster care, healthcare, food, clothes, and school supplies. They promise to provide this sustained support to each child through graduation, an average of 12 years, preparing them to take their own next steps in life. Even more than that, they commit to supporting each child as a family.
To say we are excited is an understatement. To say that we are overwhelmed by this committment is a fair statement, too! Our goal is to raise $20,000. This is, by all measures, a huge undertaking. We are completely aware (especially in the current economy) of what we are asking of our friends and our family.
And yet, we are committed to this mission because it is about children, the eduction of children, and the promise of bettering the future of those children. We plan for this to be the beginning of a longer journey for our family (Merritt and Calvin, too!) -- one which includes volunteering and support of TFFT for years to come.
There are over one million orphaned children in Tanzania alone. This effort will not solve the problem of all of those children. But, in a few short years, TFFT has made amazing strides. One child at a time, they are truly making a difference.
Please help us by supporting TFFT by clicking on the orange DONATE button above.
Thank you, in advance, for whatever support you can give...

Stephens, Olin - 2011 Hall of Fame
Olin James Stephens II
"I was lucky; I had a goal. As far back as I can remember I wanted to design fast boats."
April 13, 1908 - September 13, 2008
Birthplace: New York
Arguably the most famous yacht designer of the 1900s, it's not just that Olin Stephens lived one hundred years, it's that he was working, contributing to the sport he loved until the day he died. Olin Stephens' mind was always open. He never allowed himself to stop learning.
As an apprentice naval architect at age 19, Stephens cut his teeth on the design of the elegant 6-meters that were in vogue. But the "radical" 52-foot yawl, Dorade , Stephens designed in 1930, was the portent of things to come. Without computer analysis or tank testing, Stephens relied on instincts and intuitive judgments to design the slim, light and lovely Dorade . When Stephens won the 1931 Trans-Atlantic race with Dorade by four days (corrected time), any doubters were silenced. New York gave Stephens a ticker tape parade. Yacht design would never be the same.
Stephens' began his America's Cup career with the co-design (with Starling Burgess) of the J-Class Ranger in 1937, and ended it with Freedom , the last 12-meter to successfully defend the Cup (1980). Like Nat Herreshoff, Stephens has six winning America's Cup designs to his credit ( Intrepid and Courageous twice).
Stephens boats were not only fast in their day, picking up silverware wherever they raced, but a treat for the eyes. He believed attractive boats were also faster. Many make the list of all-time classics: Stormy Weather, Bolero, Gesture, Finisterre, Brilliant, Dyna, Mustang, Tenacious (Dora) …. Then there are his Blue Jays, Lightnings, and Interclub dinghies.
"I was lucky," Olin Stephens wrote in his autobiography, All This and Sailing Too . "I had a goal. As far back as I can remember I wanted to design fast boats."

About a year later, I began experiencing a pain on the left side of my abdomen. It wasn't in my stomach, it was too high to have anything to do with my ovaries, and a battery of tests ruled out intestinal disorders. Having found nothing amiss, doctors concluded I was plain old constipated. "Eat more fiber," they said. And that was that.
Sixteen years later, the pain remained -- sometimes sharp, sometimes dull. I gave up trying to erase it long ago and instead learned to live with it. Back in high school, no one thought to consider that the discomfort might be related to my accident. But recently, I visited a naturopath who raised this possibility. So I began considering new ways to treat that old injury.
On the advice of a friend, I ended up at the Newton, Massachusetts, office of Julie Burke, a chiropractor who has practiced a technique called network spinal analysis (NSA) for nearly two decades. Founded in the early 1980s by chiropractor Donald Epstein and used by more than 400 chiropractors across the United States, NSA employs precise, gentle adjustments (no heavy cracking) to reduce tension on the nerve tissues caused by both physical and mental stresses.
Easing this tension allows the nervous system to function optimally and opens the "respiratory wave," the natural movement of the spinal bones that should occur with each breath. The resulting increase in energy and breathing capacity, say proponents, helps sustain all-around good health.
While Epstein developed NSA for use by chiropractors, there's debate over whether it's a chiropractic method or a separate healing discipline. (NSA isn't recognized as an approved chiropractic technique by some state boards, and some insurance companies don't reimburse for treatment.)
While traditional forms of chiropractic rely on standard manual adjustments, practitioners of NSA use a different technique. "A chiropractic degree is required to study and practice NSA, but NSA must be seen as a different discipline," says Robert Cooperstein, director of technique and research at Palmer College of Chiropractic. Different or not, I'd heard enough good reports that I was eager to give it a try.
Having never been to a chiropractor of any kind, I had no idea what to expect from my first appointment. Before we began treatment, Burke used a computer-generated analysis to examine my posture and range of motion.
The results were fascinating -- and alarming. In normal position, my shoulders and neck were pushed forward from spending many hours working on a computer. The resulting "interference" on the nervous system might be affecting my digestion, causing my abdominal discomfort. What's more, my back displayed early signs of osteoporosis.
"But I'm only 31!" I said. "It's very common," Burke replied. "Few of us have perfect posture, and early signs of osteoporosis can begin in your late twenties." But as she explained it, just as having tires aligned on a car prevents wear, correcting posture imbalances now will help prevent long-term degeneration -- not to mention ease my immediate pain.
After this assessment, Burke guided me to a cot, where I lay face down, fully clothed, as she pressed her hands to my spine and observed my breathing. Adjustments came every few minutes and felt like fingers snapping ever so gently along the surface of my back. At points, the change was profound: My breathing opened up, as if I could transport air from the lowest depths of my abdomen to the top of my head. This is the sort of change Burke looks for. "Once I see a patient start to breathe more freely," she says, "I know I'm on the right track." At the end of a session, which can last from 15 minutes to an hour, I felt revived.
For the first month, I saw Burke two to three times a week. Most days I shared the room with other patients, standard in NSA. At first, I could feel the effects while in the office, but they seemed to fade when I returned to my everyday life. One morning after a major adjustment, however, I awoke to find my entire right side stiff; I called the office in a mild panic and was told it might indicate that my body had begun using muscles differently -- a good sign. I spent most of the day lying on my back, but when I got up later that day, I felt more energetic than I had in a long time.
A month into treatment, a computer re-evaluation revealed that my alignment had improved drastically: My upper back was less rounded, and the curves in my lower back were closer to normal. Had I not seen these improvements with my own eyes, I might not be convinced. But the proof is there, and so is an ever-increasing awareness. I find I stand straighter, and though I still have a tendency to slouch, I'm more aware of how the slouching affects my breathing. Generally, I feel emotionally lighter -- happier, I guess -- and people notice.
Best of all, bouts of my abdominal pain have dropped to a mere twice a week. And when the pain does show up at all, it's much less intense. "Hippocrates declared, 'Look to the spine for the cause of disease,' " Burke said. That guy was onto something.
DIY Adjustments
We all know that sitting for extended periods doesn't do our health any favors. "Being in situations in which we're not allowed to move around freely creates spinal and respiratory tension," says practitioner Julie Burke. Done regularly, these three on-the-go moves will improve your breathing and the health of your spine.
In Front of the TV
Lie on your back and place one hand over the other just below the collarbones, palms down. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth three times, and observe the movement. Repeat with your hands at the solar plexus, and again at the navel, directing the breath toward any blockages.
At Your Desk
Place one ankle on the other knee. Sitting upright and keeping your spine straight, lean your torso forward. Alternate legs. Do this at least three times a day.
In the Air
During flight, place your carry-on in front of you and place one foot on top of it. This changes the angle of how you sit, causing less stress on your body and easing your transition from air to ground.

Jazzing Up the Radeon X1300 PRO
Jazzing Up the Radeon X1300 PRO
There is somewhat of a shortage of options for the budget-constrained folks when it comes to graphics cards. Some may disagree and point out the number of affordable alternatives, from the most basic onboard graphics to the latest cards from both ATI and NVIDIA. We agree that together with previous generation cards like the GeForce 6 series and ATI's older Radeons, they add up to quite a fair number. But compared to the mid-range segment, where for each chipset, there are numerous brands, with vendors competing to release 'special' editions and sporting fancy coolers and whatnot, the low-end is quite a dull affair. There is just no buzz.
Part of the reason may be the natural low prices of this segment. Vendors make up for the low margins by selling in bulk, as even the simplest PC needs some sort of graphics subsystem. There is no urge to differentiate or market these low-end products extensively because buyers are not that concerned by graphics; price is the main consideration. Hence, we have new budget cards like the Radeon X1300 series and the GeForce 7300 GS appearing in the market without that much fanfare and just as quickly, disappear from our radar screens. No doubt, they are popular with consumers and are widely available at most retail outlets, they have nothing to get people excited about.
Gigabyte hopes to liven up the staid low-end segment by offering its new Radeon X1300 PRO card with its proprietary Silent-Pipe II cooler. Originally seen in mid-range cards like the GeForce 6600 GT and the Radeon X1600 XT, this passive cooler is into its second iteration and boasts a design that is quite distinct from the other passive coolers we have seen. Although the principle of having heat pipes and radiators for passive cooling are common, it is the design principle in which it was employed that's unique to Gigabyte. ASUS has a passively cooled Radeon X1300 PRO in the market already so this new Gigabyte card should fuel more competition. Before we move on to the card, let's take a look at its technical specifications:

Though it may have lacked the out-sized showmanship of Beyonce and Madonna from previous years, Bruno Mars' Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show resulted in achieving just what the Grammy-winning singer hoped it would: it had audiences "smiling" and "dancing."
A child choir began the performance by sweetly singing the chorus of Mars' hit "Billionaire," before Mars was revealed behind a drum kit, clad in a gold lame jacket.
A light rain had begun to fall on New Jersey's MetLife Stadium but it wasn't enough to dampen the high-energy performance he delivered featuring a medley of his hits and an all-too-brief appearance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Mars had told reporters earlier this week that his aspirations for the show were simply to "get people dancing, get people smiling."
U.S. & World
Before a glittering LED backdrop Mars and his eight-piece backing band - all wearing identical outfits - launched into "Locked Out of Heaven" before grooving and moving their way through "Treasure," "Runaway Baby" and a riff on the Isley Brothers' "Shout."
"Who you rockin' with — you rockin' with the best!" shouted Mars to the audience.
With choreography and steps that would have made Michael Jackson and James Brown proud, the performance had an old-school feel and resulted in the live audience on center field jumping in tune and singing along.
Next up Mars was joined by seminal Los Angeles rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, with lead singer Anthony Kiedes showing the cool temperatures no mind. Kiedes arrived shirtless and wore shorts over patterned tights - seemingly his only concession to the weather.
Mars and the Chili Peppers delivered a rousing rendition of the latter band's hit "Give It Away." It was the Pepper's only song and left the crowd screaming for more.
Finally, taking the mood downtempo, Mars took his place on a small solo stage to sing his balled, "Just the Way You Are."
The love song was introduced by assorted US service men and women posted around the world who dedicated the performance via video clips to their loved ones waiting at home.
Last year R & B diva Beyonce was joined onstage in New Orleans by Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland for a much-anticipated Destiny's Child reunion. The group performed a medley of their hits including "Bootylicious," "Independent Woman" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" - which is a solo Beyonce hit.
Five Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows Ever
In 2012, Madonna's Egyptian inspired headdresses, Vogueing and endless parade of special appearances by artists including MIA, Nicki Minaj and LMFAO was perhaps more show than substance.
Earlier Sunday evening, Queen Latifah and opera star Renee Fleming set the acoustic tone with renditions of "America the Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" respectively.
Fleming was the first opera singer ever to be asked to perform the national anthem at a Super Bowl.
Having grown up in upstate New York, Fleming was unfazed by the cool temperatures, which can reek havoc with performers who choose to sing live in such conditions.
"I want to thank Rochester," Fleming said during a press conference Thursday, "for preparing me for singing in the cold."
But it was Mars' night overall. He had audiences in attendance and at home nodding their heads and singing along to his top 40 hits. And while spectacle is often the barometer of halftime shows, Mars straightforward, soul-based approach and exceptional voice delivered enough showmanship to mark his appearance as one for the Super Bowl ages.

Recent commercial robberies, residential burglaries, and purse snatchings in San Carlos, Del Cerro, and La Mesa prompted a community meeting at the San Carlos Recreation Center on Wednesday, March 25.
The hourlong meeting began at 6:30 p.m. and attracted over 300 people, including representatives from councilmember Marti Emerald's office, two TV news crews, and representatives from the San Diego and La Mesa police departments.
SDPD assistant chief Boyd Long said, "We had 28 actual residential burglaries in this general vicinity over about a three-month span." Several juveniles were arrested on March 5, and no similar burglaries have occurred since.
Other recent crimes described by police include a series of 12 purse snatchings in La Mesa, aggressive robberies of a local Bank of America branch, McDonald's, and two 7-Eleven stores. An ATM was stolen from a liquor store the morning of the meeting.
Captain Long said there has been a 40 percent reduction in commercial robberies since last year. The meeting grew contentious when the police agreed to take questions. One woman who had called police when a mentally unstable woman walked into her open garage complained that it took 40 minutes for the police to respond to her call. Police say the average response time in this neighborhood is less than seven minutes.
"We can't do this alone," said Captain Long. "We absolutely need your help."

"We absolutely need your help."
Boy, that's an understatement. Not that is would have helped in THIS particular instance, but for the most violent of crimes where lives are threatened, armed citizens would be able to defend themselves while waiting 20 minutes for authorities.
That might "help" a bit.
Citizens. Be aware that you are the only one that can defend yourself. Police cannot protect you in your home. Be alert. Get a healthy dog. Keep windows and doors locked. If you are comfortable and experienced, get a gun.

Death By Sugar
The recent research on 'Added Sugar' (Ref: Cardiovascular disease JAMA Feb, 2014) was very clear. The higher the added sugar content of your daily calories consumed, the greater your risk of dying from Heart Disease. As Dr. Chauncey Crandall, one of America's top cardiologists, covered in his recent 'Heart Health' newsletter, glucose (along with e numbers in prepared and packaged foods), causes chronic inflammation in the arteries and this causes the fat to 'take hold'.
Heart disease and cancer are now equal first in America as causes of death, comprising over 50 per cent of the total. The most common sources of 'added glucose' are soft drinks, from Coca Cola to Ribena (37%), grain deserts (puddings) at about 13.7% and categories such as ice cream and dairy desserts (6.1%), smoothies and supermarket fruit juices (8.9%), and chocolate and biscuits (5.8%) following well back. But it doesn't stop there. Such 'added sugar' feeds cancer cells, which (unlike healthy cells) are inflexible. They need glucose, without which they wither and die (although there is some evidence that an amino acid, glutamine, in protein may be used sometimes as a fallback).
Chronic inflammation is also a factor in cancer, both in cause and in metastases and, as with Heart Disease, insulin lies behind these as it affects COX-2 which drives bad localized hormones called eicosanoids. In 2010 Tian Xu of Yale concluded these localized hormones turned on two cancer-causing genes. What is also apparent is that people with the highest levels of plasma glucose develop more cancers; while those people with cancer that do not control their plasma glucose levels, survive least.
In the face of all the mounting evidence on the damage glucose causes, is it not time to ask why hospitals continue to serve sugar-ladened ice cream, have drinks machines selling the leading culprits outside every ward, and even supply patients having chemotherapy with booklets on diet suggesting they eat cheeseburgers, doughnuts, milkshakes and sugary drinks? Of course, no one wants patients dying of cachexia - but this affects only 7% of the total at most. Should the other cancer patients be exposed to the risks inherent in encouraging them to eat cancer-stimulating foods? And why not follow Professor Seyfried of Boston, and others, who point out that there is clear research that omega-3 in fish oils can dramatically reduce the risk of cachexia.
Glucose is a dangerous chemical toxin that pervades our lives and damages our health. It is time Governments, and especially our health service providers, got a grip on the reality.

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Conseil d'État (Belgium) lodged on 19 February 2019 — B.M.M., B.S. v État belge
(Case C-133/19)
Language of the case: French
Referring court
Conseil d'État
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicants: B.M.M., B.S.
Defendant: État belge
Questions referred
In order to ensure the effectiveness of EU law and not to render it impossible to benefit from the right to family reunification which, in the second applicant's submission, is conferred on her by Article 4 of Council Directive 2003/86/EC of 22 September 2003 on the right to family reunification, 1 must that provision be interpreted as meaning that the sponsor's child may enjoy the right to family reunification when he attains his majority during the judicial proceedings against the decision which refuses him that right and which was taken when he was still a minor?
Must Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Article 18 of Directive 2003/86/EC be interpreted as precluding an action for annulment, brought against the refusal of a right to family reunification of a minor child, being held to be inadmissible on the ground that the child has attained his majority during the judicial proceedings, since he would be deprived of the possibility of securing a determination of his action against that decision and there would be a breach of his right to an effective remedy?

Re: New Testament Audio Texts
Posted: November 29th, 2012, 6:14 pm
Yes, that starts to address why aural input is so important for reading. Aural input increases speed, one of the items that is crucial for good reading. It also builds the phonological loop, another item that is part of the cognitive process of READING. Yes, even Chinese reading has a pre-cognitive phonological loop in the reading processing from visual symbol to understanding. That last point is the iceberg lurking under the surface for ancient grammar translation that assumes, without awareness of the psycholoinguistic research, that aural facility is irrelevant when the goal is simply reading. In fact, the opposite is true-- no aural input, no good reading.The role of context in understanding conversation and reading material is often not considered sufficiently, in my opinion. Which is why students struggle so to learn and retain Greek vocab. taught by the Grammar-Translation method. It's taught without sufficient context.

At Ole Miss we are especially proud of our many outstanding ensembles. The half-time show by the Pride of the South, a 300-member marching band, is a highlight of every home football game, while smaller pep bands travel to away games and also play at basketball games. During the spring semester, three concert bands perform concerts on campus and tour around the state. Each year the LOU (Lafayette/Oxford/University) Orchestra gives three concerts featuring major symphonic repertoire in the spectacular Ford Center for the Performing Arts. The orchestra's annual concerto competition is a much anticipated event: one or two winners are selected to appear as soloists. Ensembles from our very active choral program, which include the Concert Singers and four other choruses, frequently perform at both regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association. In recent years, they have mounted several major choral masterpieces, including: Handel's Messiah, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and Verdi's Requiem.
Our smaller student ensembles are equally important for the experience that they provide and for their many performances, which enrich the cultural life of the University and the entire Oxford community. These ensembles include: two jazz bands, the opera theater, the African drum and dance ensemble, and several percussion ensembles, Finally, members of our faculty perform in three chamber ensembles: the Mississippi Brass (a brass quintet), the Ole Miss Winds (a woodwind quintet), and the Oxford Piano Trio. These offer a distinguished series of concerts, both on and off campus, every season.
