So www.royaleswithcheese.com...
That's not me.
For one thing, it offers insightful commentary and frequent updates.
Which is great, I guess, if every other Royals blog didn't already do that.
I do want to point out that it offers little in the way of Emil Brown jokes, poorly photoshopped images, references to Match Game '74 and, this is the most important, it offers absolutely nothing in the way of ridiculous drunken rants.
Speaking of which....
Go ahead, take the name. Register the site. Whatever. I borrowed the phrase from Tarantino who got it from the French McDonald's. I don't own the phrase or, clearly, the domain. If I could have afforded the five dollars a year, I would have bought it, believe me.
What I offer with this shitty blog is the amateur's perspective. The idiot's commentary. The dumbass observations you didn't know you wanted until you saw them turned into a picture of Hideo Nomo's head on a pregnant teenage girl's body. To me, that fits the sensibility of the blog's title pretty damn well. What I'm seeing on that site does not, and it makes me question why they chose that name.
So what if the makers behind that site asked for my permission and blessing to use the name back in January?
So what if I replied, "No, my site isn't dead. It's an April Fool's prank. Please don't use that name."
So what if they came back and said, whoops!!!, they'd already bought the site months ago and, double whoops!!!, it was already designed and, triple whoops!!!, it would be online and functioning in a matter of days?
"But we tried to contact you in the past and you never answered!" Like hell they did. Not asking if they could use the name they didn't.
So what if they then offered me a token position as a staffer with their GLORIOUS NEW PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED (read as: a WordPress Template that anyone could find online for free) site?
"What better way to come back than using our site and our adspace? You owe it to your fans to come back with a professional site." I disagree. If anything, I owe it to my readers to be anything but professional. This is a personal blog. This is not staffed. There are no obligations. I write the blog because I enjoy it.
So what if I e-mailed back and said, thanks but no thanks, dude, I'm independent.... I don't join no consortium unless it's the Brotherhood of Bloggers with Big Dicks.
So what if they came back and said they understood and agreed to put a prominent disclaimer on their site pointing out that their blog was not affiliated with my blog and that I in no way condoned their use of the name, and that they would post a link to my blog in said disclaimer?
So what if they said they'd be honored to do that, and then ignored that agreement entirely? So what if I didn't even make it on their damn blogroll?
So what?
It's just another Royals blog that seems to specialize in summarizing Royals press releases, saying things that you, the genuine obsessed Royals fan, probably already know. There are a lot of great Royals blogs out there (check the links to the right), but I don't really see what this one adds, other than an attempt to capitalize on the name of this blog.
I've got nothing against the guy who writes that blog (he seems to know his shit, even if he hasn't quite found his voice yet), but the assholes who approached me about the site and lied multiple times about the circumstances surrounding buying, creating, and staffing it, are definitely only it in for their lameass sportsblog network and any ad revenue said lameass sportsblog network can generate.
Here's my last complaint, just because I really don't get it: their logo is a picture of George Brett's head on the body of a heroin-addicted hitman. Personally, I've got no problems mocking Brett's hemorrhoids, but why make your logo Mr. Royal and Sam Jackson capping a bitch?
Alright... that's the last I'll speak of that site.
I'm sure in three weeks it will be the most popular Royals blog on the net, and I'll be over here posting images of Sidney Ponson's head on the world's fattest man's naked body for the seven readers who are too lazy to delete me from their Google Reader.
Such is life.
Go Phony Royales With Cheese! You're the Best!

1960 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB
Another Pinin Farina design built by Scaglietti, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (short wheel base) is considered to be the last great sports racer that you could drive to an event and win. It was available with a steel body and luxury interior or aluminum body, like this one, stripped for racing, with no bumpers and disc brakes. The SWB dominated the Tour de France race from 1960-62 and the GT category of the Le Mans 24 Hours. This car is the 31st of 165 built.

Les Portes de Paris - The Doors of Paris.
Large colorful ornate doors like these are found all over Paris.
I became fascinated with them during our trip back in May. I went to Paris with my Aunt this weekend and wow, do I love Paris! I decided this would be a great time to post my doors to Paris post that I've been holding onto for a while.
I've decided that I'm going to go to Paris as many times as I can while we are here!
*sigh* Oh Paris, je t'aime

Anyway, the Gravediggaz were a quartet who bonded in the early 1990s over the terrible experiences they all had while signed to Tommy Boy Records, but instead of merely bitching about it like most of your coworkers, they went and actually did something with their anger. The result was 6 Feet Deep (or, if you're reading this overseas, N---amortis, a title the group was pretty sure wouldn't fly in the States), a record industry satire wearing the guise of a horrorcore album, chock-full of banging beats, hardcore (and oftentimes disturbing) lyrics, and just the hint of a cheesy smile plastered onto the face of the group's ringleader, the Undertaker, better known as producer extraordinaire Prince Paul. The project, released by the label Gee Street, came with so many unanswered questions that many hip hop heads took to making shit up just to appease their curiosity: for example, most people still feel to this day that the group are horrorcore pioneers, when in fact they were just four dudes fucking around, but people always feel the need to affix classifications to simplify shit. Most people are also convinced that the Gravediggaz were a Wu-Tang Clan side project, but the fact of the matter is that The RZA, who plays The RZArector in the group dynamic (with Poetic as The Grym Reaper and Frukwan as The Gatekeeper), was a no-name artist when the quartet banded together: he was still working on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album when this shit was recorded, even though 6 Feet Deep was released a year after that crew's breakthrough.
It's easy to understand the confusion, though. "Diary Of A Madman" is one of only three songs off of the project that The RZA produces or co-produces, and its sound is obviously Wu-esque in its nature. It also features two future Wu-affiliates, Killah Priest and Scientific Shabazz, who RZA would later sign to the offshoot group Sunz Of Man, but 6 Feet Deep contains the first recorded appearances from both men. (Scientific Shabazz would later change his moniker to Shabazz The Disciple, in case you couldn't connect the dots yourself.) As for the lyrics themselves, "Diary Of A Madman" is a full-on assault of the senses, disturbing imagery layered upon twisted tales, bleak themes, and adult situations, but the unbearable tension throughout is cut frequently by the intrusion of the wraparound device, a courtroom skit in which the group is standing trial for multiple murders (including that of a baby, apparently, according to the very first line you hear on the track), which is the most clear Prince Paul-ish aspect of the track. The man himself names this shit as one of his favorite skits he's ever recorded, and he's the master of the hip hop skit. Just the fact that there's also a song here is just a bonus.
And what a song it is. Shabazz wastes no time trying to grab the listener's ear with a hard, energetic verse on which he threatens to "evaporate" a man's ashes, dig up the body of another former opponent, and "stomp all [his] fuckin' bones". His violent threats are mixed together with rational (for someone who is supposed to be playing a madman, anyway) thoughts: had it not been for the horror-movie vibe, this could have been mixed up for some by-the-by gangsta shit. But The RZA has to fuck that all up, as his higher-pitched persona (I miss his voice when he rapped like this, but you can't have everything) finds himself nailed to a cross and "chew[s his] fucking arm off" to free himself. It's bleak, folks: the Wu wouldn't rap about shit like this. Maybe the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. But I digress.
Killah Priest more than earns his spot in the Sunz Of Man collective, mostly avoiding the pseudo-religious hyperbabble that bogs down the majority of his catalog in favor of a straightforward performance that is as dope as it is deep, even if his verse ends with someone being literally dragged down into Hell. Frukwan finishes off for the defense, doing his team no favors with an at-times disgusting trip into his process. He sounds great, no question, even as he's cut off mid-sentence at the end for the judge to give his final ruling, one made without the need for a jury, apparently.
The music adds to the eerie atmosphere, thanks to RZA, Paul, and RNS, a dude who would later help jump-start the career of a young child rapper named Shyheim, yet another Wu-affiliate. Hilariously, the spooky-ass "Diary Of A Madman" instrumental is constructed from samples of not one, but two separate songs by Johnny Mathis: "No Love (But Your Love)" and "Warm and Tender". You will certainly never look at your grandparents' record collection the same way again.
"Diary Of A Madman" is a masterpiece from start to finish, and is the finest Gravediggaz song ever recorded. It isn't my favorite Wu-influenced track from the quartet (that would be "Graveyard Chamber", also from 6 Feet Deep), but it's the quintessential Gravediggaz track: it mixes together dark humor with the musical genius of everyone in the crew (except maybe the late Poetic, who doesn't contribute for some reason), and is so over-the-top with its ridiculous examples of violence that there's no way anyone should ever take it seriously. But it's entertaining as fuck. Just maybe don't play it when your parents are around.
Do you agree or disagree with this selection? Discuss below.

Western Digital My Passport Elite external hard drive
Western Digital has refreshed its My Passport Elite external hard drive by throwing in something new which the market does not have just yet – an illuminated capacity gauge and drive lock indicator that allows users to see just how much space there is left available for them to drag all their digital movie collection over from their computer without having to access My Computer. Apart from that, the same glance will also let you know whether the data within is secure or not, letting you take pro-active measures to turn on the security features to avoid unwanted data theft and loss. Apart from that, the new and improved Western Digital My Passport Elite external hard drive will feature a convenient grab-and-go USB dock that frees up precious desk space while doing away with the potentially frustrating search for available USB ports.
The new My Passport Elite portable drive will come with automatic and continuous backup thanks to WD SmartWare software, offering protection in the form of 256-bit hardware-based encryption. If you're going to pick this up, make sure you're OK with Metallic Red, Metallic Blue and Charcoal Metallic colors since those are the only shades which the My Passport Elite drives come in – hopefully more colors will be introduced in the near future. Depending on your budget, you are able to choose from 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities.
To know whether data within is secured, make sure the padlock icon is available on display to show that the drive has already been password protected with 256-bit hardware-based encryption. This feature is normally found on much more expensive drive systems, making its inclusion another point worth considering if you're in the market for a portable hard drive. Interested? You can pick up the 320GB, 500GB and 640GB My Passport Elite for $119.99, $159.99 and $169.99, respectively. Each purchase will come with a 3-year limited warranty.

Macho men, lethal dames, shadowy photography and twisted plots are highlighted in five new movies from the Columbia Pictures studio vaults. – Irv Slifkin, Movies Unlimited
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) December 15, 2011
Macho men, lethal dames, shadowy photography and twisted plots are highlighted in all of the five movies included in the new DVD collection, Film Noir Classics III, from the Columbia Pictures studio vaults. The box set of hard-to-find classics will be available in January from Movies Unlimited, one of the world's top DVD and Blu-ray retail specialists.
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945) showcases Nina Foch is an unemployed secretary whose assignment to a wealthy widow (Dame May Whitty) and her son (George Macready) somehow leads her identity to change into a woman just out of a mental institution. Joseph H. Lewis (The Big Combo) directs this unpredictable mystery.
Broderick Crawford is at his tough guy best in The Mob (1951), playing a suspended cop who goes undercover as a longshoreman to take down a brutal mob boss (Matt Crawley). Richard Kiley, Neville Brand and Ernest Borgnine also star in this gritty crime drama helmed by Robert Parrish (Cry Danger).
Ginger Rogers tries a change-of-pace part in 1955's Tight Spot, essaying the role of a cynical female prisoner convinced by the district attorney to testify against a group of hoods. While being held in a hotel while contemplating her testimony, Rogers falls for the policeman (Brian Keith) guarding her. Edward G. Robinson also stars in this crackerjack crime yarn from Phil Karlson (99 River Street).
The Burglar (1957) stars Jayne Mansfield in her first lead role portraying a member of a gang of hoodlums out to swipe a necklace owned by a fake Philadelphia psychic. Dan Dureya, Mickey Shaugnessy and Martha Vickers are also featured in this exciting and stylish heist saga from the pen of David Goodis (Dark Passage), directed by Paul Wendkos (The Mephisto Waltz).
And in Drive a Crooked Road (1964), Mickey Rooney is a race car enthusiast who is blackmailed into driving the getaway car during a bank robbery in this action-packed thriller helmed by Richard Quine (The Caine Mutiny) from a script co-written by Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther).
Movies Unlimited is one of the world's oldest and most reliable video retailers, specializing in DVD and Blu-ray titles. Film Noir Classics III can be ordered through their http://www.moviesunlimited.com website or by calling 1-800-4-MOVIES. The Philadelphia-based company also publishes the annual 800-page encyclopedic Movies Unlimited DVD Catalog. Film Noir Classics III is being released in conjunction with Turner Classic Movies.

Just wanted to show you guys what we have been selling on our website AlphaCorals.com
This sold yesterday to a guy in Colorado! We shipped it out today along with another Picasso he was in love with
Whats unreal is that this clownfish was less than 4 months old. Full black body with solid white. He hasn't even gotten the black outlines on his fins yet. This is a one in a million clown that is still 4-6 months away from full potential. Still crazy beautiful!
We don't sell wild fish here! Everything is captive bred, born in a tank so these clowns will love your tank right from the start.

There was a time when I said I didn't have many Nars products, the collection is definitely growing! I got this beauty in New York, I've been desperate to try Nars Sheer Glow for such a long time but I wanted to see the shades in person so I could make sure I got the right shade. It's a waste of time trying to guess your own shade using the internet. I got the shade Ceylan (light 6) which is a light-medium colour with a yellow undertone. Being the skin tone I am my foundations need a yellow undertone or I look really pink/white!
I've never been one for minimal coverage foundation as I have a lot of scarring on my skin from blemishes, so I'm glad this is a light-medium coverage and really build-able. I usually wear 2 layers, applying each layer with a beauty blender. I still use my concealer with this as I don't want to cake foundation on just to cover my blemishes. I also love the glow it gives to my skin, it doesn't effect the lasting performance either. It has lasted from 8am to 7pm with a dab of powder in the middle before it started to not look its best.
For a while I only swore on wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear, but then moved on to Bourjois Healthy Mix and now this.. I must admit I still love the other two foundations, but this has definitely progressed to my first favourite and go to foundation.
The only downside I find to this is the fact it doesn't come with a pump (like Double Wear). I think for the £31 price tag you expect to not have to pour it out a jar. I also can't seem to find the pump in stock anywhere?! But this is definitely worth the money, it may be a little out of peoples budget, but if you get the chance I would purchase!
Have you tried this foundation, what did you think? If not, what is your go to foundation?

How can you find out more about the men and women mentioned on War Memorials in Essex?
For many of us the search will begin with discussions with family members. If this is not possible then you might go to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. You are able to search by name or by the cemetery.
A comprehensive study of those men noted on the Chelmsford War Memorials has been carried out by Andy Begent, and can be found on his website, Chelmsford War Memorial.
The site includes a detailed biography of each of the 359 men commemorated in Chelmsford. There are also features on The South Primrose Hill Boys and the notable men who are remembered on the memorials, including young men who joined up under age.
There is much information on the internet and a quick search led to an interesting piece from the website Centenary News.
In addition, Paul Ruseicki offers the following advice:
For anyone researching the history of Essex war memorials a good start is the chapter in my book 'The Impact of Catastrophe: The People of Essex and the First World War.' It doesn't deal with individuals who are recorded on memorials but it looks at how the war memorial movement began and developed, the mechanisms involved in producing a town/village war memorial, and the controversies which often arose, sometimes bedevilling the whole process and causing bad feelings. It should provide you with the context for your study.
Have you visited your local First World War memorial?
Where is it? Is it in your local church or town hall?
We'd be very interested to hear if you have done any research on these men or women, and you'd be welcome to share their stories on this blog. The main aim of the project is to uncover stories of the Essex home-front, however many of these men and women came from Essex and had family and friends at home.

for families
hiked $25
in 2001-02
GAYLORD - Only one price increase will be noticed for the 2001-02 school year in admission prices to Gaylord Community Schools (GCS) athletic events.
As approved by the GCS Board of Education with the budget June 11, a $25 hike in the price of family passes will bring the cost to $175, including middle-school events, and $150 for high-school events only. Passes may not be used at hockey or swimming events.
Although the committee formed to develop an alternative solution to the pay-to-participate plan suggested that a 50-cent ticket increase be put into effect for the 2001-02 school year to help alleviate budget shortfalls, GCS Athletic Director Karen Leinaar explained that was not possible per Big North Conference guidelines.

Out of the last 4 months, my husband has been in China for work for about a month. He took a two week trip in early May (after he convinced his boss that he could not leave the country on my birthday, so he left the day after), and he is currently finishing up another two week trip right now (he'll be home in two days). I hate when he's gone. I mean, sure, I miss him, but with Skype we probably end up talking almost as much as we do when he's home, so it's not really that. Mostly, I hate being a single parent. Military families and single parents - you have my undying respect.
I seriously wonder if my son will survive each of these trips. He does, of course, as I would never harm my son, but I did get smart and shipped him off to Grandma's for one night each week this time, so I could take a break from the little tyrant who is acting out because he misses his dad.
This morning, while enjoying my kid-free time, I was doing some chores around the house and started thinking about the things I like while my husband is gone.
1. Because I only ever use the smaller silverware, I never have to sort it when I do the dishes. If there's a fork, it's a little fork. If there's a spoon, it's a teaspoon. No comparing sizes. Also, because I usually only drink water, I have one or two glasses that I constantly use, so there are very little glasses to put away.
2. When I go to do the laundry, there's never a forgotten load already in the machine. Of course, my son's laundry is still in the dryer from yesterday, but it won't be an unpleasant surprise that it's there.
3. Making the bed consists of pulling the covers back where they belong and putting the pillows back in their correct places. I hate his pillows (they're big and heavy and wake me up whenever they touch me at night), so I take great enjoyment of throwing them off the bed at night.
4. Containers always make it into the garbage. For some reason, my husband has a mental block about throwing containers (bottles, milk cartons, etc.) into the garbage. He sits them on the counter next to the garbage instead and it drives me crazy!
But really, that's about it. Sure, it's nice to have a break from those little pet peeves, but in the grand scheme of things, I would rather sort silverware, do extra laundry, remake the bed every morning, and throw containers away myself in order to have my husband home.
We're in the home stretch, and next time I might be serious in my threat to make my husband quit if they try to send him to China again.

Bent in to replace Defoe
It sounds like Defoe is finally leaving after rumor after rumor during the time he has been a Spurs player. Quality people on FTL say that JD now just wants to play every week and he will never be given that at Spurs with Keane and Berbatov clearly the first choice strike partnership. Defoe claims he loves the club and does not have a bad word to say about Spurs but needs to play more often then he can now. it will be interesting to see who comes in for him and unless it is one of Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United would a move elsewhere be actually the right move for Jermaine?
Bent is now almost certainly a Spurs player unless he fails a medical. Scoring 12 goals this season for a dreadful Charlton side is good going. He has pace and can strike a ball very well and it will be interesting to see how he does at Spurs.

Particle-guided Image Registration
Published Date:2013
Source:Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv. 16(0 3):203-210.
Personal Authors:
Pubmed ID:24505762
Pubmed Central ID:PMC3974564
Description:We present a novel image registration method based on B-spline free-form deformation that simultaneously optimizes particle correspondence and image similarity metrics. Different from previous B-spline based registration methods optimized w.r.t. the control points, the deformation in our method is estimated from a set of dense unstructured pair of points, which we refer as corresponding particles. As intensity values are matched on the corresponding location, the registration performance is iteratively improved. Moreover, the use of corresponding particles naturally extends our method to a group-wise registration by computing a mean of particles. Motivated by a surface-based group-wise particle correspondence method, we developed a novel system that takes such particles to the image domain, while keeping the spirit of the method similar. The core algorithm both minimizes an entropy based group-wise correspondence metric as well as maximizes the space sampling of the particles. We demonstrate the results of our method in an application of rodent brain structure segmentation and show that our method provides better accuracy in two structures compared to other registration methods.

Shares in the UK's sixth largest architectural practice, Archial, were suspended on Friday afternoon (17 September)
The suspension was announced on the London Stock Exchange at 3:15pm just weeks after the company's share price dropped 61 per cent.
The practice, which employs around 200 architects, has been in negotiations with HM Revenue & Customs over the scheduling of payment of unpaid tax.
Archial's revenue in 2009 fell from £42.5 million to £33.9 million, with underlying pre-tax profit down to £1.49 million from £1.53 million.
When suspended this afternoon, the company was valued at £3.57 million. Interim accounts are due to be published on 29 September.
Archial was ranked sixth in the AJ100 survey of the UK's largest practices. However it has been a tough couple of years for the outfit which was once the country's second largest practice (trading under its former name the SMC Group), boasting 270 architects.
Chief exectuive Chris Littlemore (pictured) was unavailable to comment however the company did release this official statement:
The Board of Archial Group Plc ("Archial" or the "Group") announces that it requested the suspension of trading of its shares on AIM which took place at 15.15 today.
The Company remains in discussions with HMRC with regards to amounts due in respect of prior tax years, as announced at the Group's Trading Update on 26 August 2010. In light of the continued uncertainty of HMRC's position ahead of a meeting scheduled for Tuesday 21 September 2010, the Board believes that it was appropriate that the shares were suspended without delay.
A further announcement will be made in due course.

Eat, Drink, Shop, and LIVE in Nashville's Hillsboro Village Neighborhood
Nashville is comprised of many different neighborhoods that are all quaint and charming in their own unique way. As you might suspect, though, some are of course more desirable than others and few are as antiquated and old fashioned as the one-and-only Hillsboro Village, located just three miles southwest of downtown. A tiny, four square block neighborhood that packs in some of the city's best shops, boutiques, and locally-owned establishments, walking around Hillsboro Village is almost like taking a step back in time in many ways, but the area ambiance is also now more lively and vibrant than it has ever been.
The primary thoroughfare through Hillsboro Village is Hillsboro Road, a street that's now loaded with vintage clothing shops, used bookstores, art galleries, and all sorts of independent restaurants and cafes. The neighborhood's close proximity to Vanderbilt University also makes it popular among college students, which helps explain the eclectic mix of shopping and dining you'll find all throughout this part of the city.
On the interiors streets, Hillsboro Village is packed with an assortment of lovely Tudors and Bungalows, which are easily the more highly sought after homes for sale in the entire neighborhood. In recent years there's been somewhat of an influx of new condos and townhomes developed in the area to accommodate the growing demand for housing in Hillsboro Village, but as popularity for the area continues to soar, it's charming character continues to remain constant.

What a great idea. With all the controversy Uber is facing in South Florida, maybe they can work closer with the county governments to provide this service locally.
Macomb County Clerk and Uber Partner to Deliver Jurors to Courthouse
First-of-its-kind partnership makes a ride to jury duty as simple as a tap on the app
Macomb County, MI (June 30, 2015) In Macomb County, a jury summons now comes with a driver, providing on-demand transportation to and from the Courthouse. Macomb County Jurors will receive an Uber code good for a $20 ride each way or $40 round trip to and from the courthouse. In most cases, the code will cover the full cost of a ride. The ride must start or end at the Macomb County Circuit Court Building in Mount Clemens, and the cost will depend on the distance from a juror's home.
According to Macomb County Clerk/Register of Deeds Carmella Sabaugh, some Macomb County jurors have difficulty finding transportation for jury duty. Sabaugh also wanted a solution to help jurors who worry about finding parking or driving in bad weather. The County hopes to encourage civic participation by partnering with Uber to provide jurors with free round-trip fare. This 60 day pilot project comes at no cost to the Macomb County budget.
"The right to a jury of your peers is fundamental to our democracy, and Uber is helping Macomb County put innovation into the justice system to safeguard this right," said Sabaugh. "Uber's technology connects jurors with safe rides, frees up parking in the city, and creates an opportunity for Macomb County residents to earn extra cash by driving jurors to court to do their civic duty."
After Macomb County jurors receive a summons and answer the online questionnaire, they will get a unique Macomb County Juror Uber link to create an Uber account. Jurors who choose to use the offer will be picked up at their home and dropped off at the Court Building in Mount Clemens. Jurors may also use their Macomb County Juror Uber code to request a ride home from the Court Building. Riders are encouraged to use the fare estimate feature in the Uber app to determine if the promotional code covers the round-trip fare.
Sabaugh, who has been the Macomb County Clerk / Register of Deeds since 1993, added that providing good service to county residents means embracing new technology, whether it's Uber, Google Apps for Government, Square, or other innovative services her office uses.
"Uber believes that getting a safe and affordable ride should be an option for everyone," said Mike White, General Manager of Uber Michigan. "If we are able to come together as a community to minimize transportation deserts, civic participation will grow. We are excited to be a part of this pilot project and look forward to protecting and encouraging the democratic process in Macomb County."
What do you think? Would you use Uber to attend jury duty?

Paul is very clear when he writes:
Christology, the authority of Scripture and soteriology (salvation) are all at stake when the church gives in to the cultural bent of today's society. The incense offered to Caesar in our post-modern society comes in many flavors—but because they are offerings to a false god-the god of self, they are no less evil than the offerings given by the citizens of ancient Rome. We are rather to offer our whole self to the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Green Knights Face Long Road Back in MWC Tournament
From Sports Information Director, May 9, 2008 | Baseball
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
GALESBURG, Ill. - St. Norbert College must sweep a tripleheader Saturday at the Midwest Conference Baseball Tournament after splitting a pair of games on the first day of the tournament.
The Green Knights (25-10) won their first-round game over Monmouth College 16-1 before dropping the winners' bracket contest to Ripon College 4-2. St. Norbert plays Knox College (12-23) at 9:30 a.m. at Knox's Blodgett Field. The winner must beat Ripon (27-8) twice for the championship.
St. Norbert scored early and often against Monmouth, plating nine runs in the third inning for a 10-0 lead. The Green Knights got an RBI single from Jared Yost, a two-run double by Jordan Vater, a three-run home run by Brett Birkholz and a two-run homer by Tony Jandron in the big inning.
The Green Knights had just 11 hits in the game but were aided by five Monmouth errors. Jandron was 2-for-5, Birkholz 2-for-3 and Kyle Johnsen 2-for-4 for St. Norbert.
Jandron worked five innings for the win, allowing five hits and one walk with three strikeouts.
Against Ripon, St. Norbert was held to just three hits by Ripon's Mike Lloyd.
St. Norbert scored a run in the top of the second when Cory Fuller scored on a Ripon error. The Red Hawks answered with a two-run home run by Brett Wegner in the bottom of the second.
Ripon added an unearned run in the fifth, but St. Norbert answered with a run in the sixth on a Fuller RBI single to score Alex Byrne. The Green Knights would leave the bases loaded in teh sixth and would not get a baserunner the rest of the game.
Lloyd walked three and struck out two for Ripon. Brett Yost took the loss for St. Norbert, working 7 1/3 inning allowing six hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
Fuller was 2-for-4 for St. Norbert against Ripon. Jared Yost and Jandron went hitless against Ripon, having their 23-game hitting streaks come to an end. The hitting streaks tied a school-record set by Rich DuQuaine in 2000.

Mount Everest, Discovery of the Body of George Mallory and Free Attempt of the Second Step. [On finding the body of George Mallory outside the search zone:] The probable location of the Chinese Camp VI, as defined by Jochen Hemmleb, was too high on the ill-defined ridge. There was no evidence of rock being moved, and it seemed unlikely anyone would pitch a camp that high. Traversing lower, I began scanning the basin and looked to the west.
I had a great interest in the cliff bands (circumvented by Messner in August, 1980) that form the First and Second Step. At this point, I was well out of the search zone and began traversing back, which is when I saw the remains of George Mallory.
On June 8, 1924, Noel Odell sighted Mallory and Irvine topping one of the rock steps along the Northeast Ridge. Since that fateful afternoon, at which step they were last seen has been a matter of lengthy discussion. "I noticed far away on a snow slope leading up to what seemed to me to be the last step but one from the base of the final pyramid, a tiny object moving and approaching the rock step," recounted Odell. Was it the Second Step that Odell observed them climbing with relative ease?
Odell's observation places them on the Northeast Ridge, not the broad slopes below the First Step traversing in the Great (Norton) Couloir. If Mallory and Irvine were successful, their climbing route would include a 90-foot vertical barrier at an elevation of 28,300 feet: the Second Step, the most challenging bit of it all. The route ascends from the North Col, weaving through a series of slopes terraced with the occasional cliff until it intersects the Northeast Ridge, setting the stage for some of the finest high-altitude climbing. The real "business" begins at 27,760 feet with the First Step and continues on an exposed traverse for several rope lengths, culminating with the crest of the Second Step some 500 feet higher. Above and below this segment of the 1924 route, the terrain would be easily climbed, even 75 years ago with equipment of that era.
At the beginning of our expedition, I thought the Second Step to be possible for the 1924 climbers. Perhaps the arête or the rock in the vicinity would be peppered with incut holds, making the passage strenuous but feasible. On May 17, Dave Hahn, Jake Norton, Tap Richards, Danuru Sherpa, Ang Pasang Sherpa and I set out from high camp with the intention of filming my evaluation and attempt to free climb the Second Step.
Much has been speculated about a diagonal crack to the right of the dihedral. Could this bethe hidden passage that allowed Mallory and Irvine to climb the Second Step? Theorists speculated a grade (probably 5.6) without having ever been on it. With this in mind, I first probed about in an effort to climb it. The rock was rather loose, horribly unprotected and very strenuous in nature. I realized immediately that this was not the natural way, the line of least resistance. The dihedral climbed by the Chinese in 1960 is the logical line for the Second Step.
In the shady recesses of the Second Step, the opening moves begin at the base of the crack that defines this prow-like feature. Three large blocks lead the route slightly to the right, away from a wide flare to a chimney crack. The climbing is awkward—a series of high steps with insecure mantles. The last 20 feet of the shale cliff band end in a dihedral with a four-inch crack in the back. To the right of this, the 1975 Chinese expedition installed a ten-rung ladder which, along with the fixed rope, has been used ever since.
I removed my mittens, tied off my pack and spun my arms about in an attempt to warm my hands. With Dave's secure belay, I began with a series of fist jams, stemming with my right foot on good edges. The climbing was spectacular and demanding—rarely does one find a cliff of such a nature at altitude, steeped in such history.
The route moves to the right, intersecting the placement of the ladder. I placed a three- inch cam and fumbled about trying to find edges that weren't obscured by the ladder. Unfortunately, as one is prone to do at high altitude, I fizzled out. In desperation and weakness, I matched feet on the second to last rung of the Chinese ladder as I moved to the right.
How hard was it? Was it possible in 1924? I experienced the terrain in dry pre-monsoon Everest conditions similar to the type of ground Mallory and Irvine must have encountered. The climbing could best be described as "heads-up tricky terrain" on loose shale with the occasional patch of wind-hammered snow in between. The features slope the wrong direction; the cracks are shallow, brittle and poorly protectable. For a climber unfamiliar withexposure, as Irvine was, this terrain would be exhausting. The traversing forces one to move along a double fall line, which requires great concentration.
What would the rating be? As I climbed it, with the aid of the ladder, I would call it 5.10 A0—damn hard. To have basically "onsight" soloed this pitch with hobnail boots and no protection is beyond that of which I believe the early climbers were capable. No trace of their rappel setup was ever found on the block above the step, and for Mallory and Irvine to down- climb a tenuous fist crack would be even more demanding and unlikely.
My inability to make the moves reinforces my belief that Mallory and Irvine were not able to surmount this formidable obstacle.

Going the Distance
The full moon was slowly dipping lower in the sky, as Mann, McIntyre and I piled into 1SG's VW at 5 in the morning to head off on a journey that would cover 234 miles (driven) and another 26 miles (on foot). In other words, a Volksmarch Marathon.
It was a typical winter day in Europe as we started the Marathon, with temperatures hovering around freezing, a bit of fog, and no hopes for much warmth. We layered up with hats and gloves, and headed out of the town of Clermont, Belgium as it was just getting light. Eventually we ended up winding our way across the borders of both Germany and The Netherlands before returning to the finish in Belgium.
The highlight of the Marathon was where the 3 countries come together at a big lake and dam. We took the elevator ride up a huge tower located there, and then walked along the dam, under the shadow of a huge stone lion.
This was Mann's and McIntyre's first Marathon, so we were hoping for flat trails, nice paths, and fast times. The dream was shattered early on, as the trail entered a muddy cattle field covered by a layer of fresh snowfall. We managed to keep our shoes dry in the field with some quick footwork, but then the trail wandered into a narrow lane that seemed more like a sluggish stream than a trail. After more sections of steep, slippery trails and boggy fields, our shoes, socks, and pant legs were muddy and soaked.
I slipped and almost fell so many times, that it seemed like bad karma would ensure a faceplant in the mud before the day was out. Luckily for me, both McIntyre and 1SG decided to fall instead of me! Mann and I tried to contain our mirth, but the sight of their muddy pants and hands was too funny to hold in. We took pictures to document the mess, and then got their hands washed off with a handy Camelbak.
Along the route were 6 checkpoints, where we stamped our Startcards and munched our way through pastries, cheese sandwiches, coffee, and beer. McIntyre bought something that looked like a muffin, but turned out to be a big meatball, topped with a bit of very spicy mustard!
After burning 2,624 calories (according to my heart rate monitor), and gaining and losing way too much elevation (as per Mann's GPS), we finished in a very respectable time of 6 hours, 52 minutes! We drove back blasting music, stopped at McDonalds to regain lost calories, and returned home as the full moon was reaching high into the sky.
Kudos to McIntyre, for discovering 4 new countries (France, Luxembourg, Belgium, & The Netherlands) in the course of just 2 days worth of volksmarching!

Vatican City, 24 September 2014 (VIS) – Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin spoke at the Climate Summit held in New York, U.S.A. yesterday afternoon. Faced with the great risks and socio-economic costs of inertia in relation to this problem, he remarked, "prudence must prevail, which requires thoughtful deliberations based on an accurate analysis of the impact our actions will have on the future. This requires a great political and economic commitment on the part of the international community, to which the Holy See wishes to make its own contribution, being aware that 'the gift of knowledge helps us not to fall into attitudes of excess or error'".
The cardinal went on to emphasise the responsibility of States "to protect the world climate by means of mitigation and adaptation measures, as well as by sharing technologies and 'know-how'. But above all they have a shared responsibility to protect our planet and the human family, ensuring present and future generations have the possibility of living in a safe and worthy environment". He also mentioned the efforts made by Vatican City State to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels through diversification and energy efficiency projects, but added that "talking about emission reductions is useless if we are not ready to change our lifestyle and the current dominant models of consumption and production". The Holy See, he concluded, "commits itself to this end, so that in this work the international community may be guided by the ethical imperative to act, inspired by the principles of solidarity and the promotion of the common good, in the knowledge that 'the dignity of each human person and the pursuit of the common good are concerns which ought to shape all economic policies'".

Life for active fund management firms might seem at a crossroads, with their role harder to justify thanks to the rise of passive investing, but Columbia Threadneedle Investments' new regional chief executive Michelle Scrimgeour is confident.
"Active management is far from dead," says Scrimgeour, who is five months into her role as head of its Europe, Middle East and Africa business.
With the performance of actively managed funds beginning to pick up, she suggests we might see a turning point for passive investing.
"Things go in cycles. We've been in a bull market for a very long time but things do change. The most important thing for anyone taking investment advice is to understand what their portfolio will do when markets go down as well as up."
On things changing, Scrimgeour has seen a lot in her close to 30 years in the industry.
Before taking over at Columbia Threadneedle from Campbell Fleming, who left to head up Aberdeen Asset Management's global distribution, she was chief risk officer at M&G for almost five years.
But her career spans back to Mercury Asset Management, which would later become Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and then part of BlackRock.
At BlackRock, she was a member of the European executive committee, which ran the firm's $1trn EMEA business and oversaw the integration of BlackRock and Barclays Global Investors in London.
Scrimgeour says further consolidation in the asset management industry is inevitable.
"My career tells me companies grow and change all the time. I've had insights at firms that were going to be acquired and those that have done the acquiring, and that has given me a really good understanding of the challenges involved in bringing an organisation together.
"What's great about Columbia Threadneedle today is that we are a global firm and we've done the hard work to bring that together."
Columbia Threadneedle is the result of a merger and rebrand of the UK's Threadneedle Investments and US' Columbia Management in 2015.
Minneapolis-based parent company Ameriprise bought the two companies in 2003 and 2010 respectively, for a total of £1.2bn.
April 2017-present: Chief executive officer EMEA, Columbia Threadneedle Investments
2012-March 2017: Chief risk officer, M&G
2010-2011: Co-head of fixed income business management, BlackRock
2006-2009: Chief operating officer, international fixed income, BlackRock
1997-2006: Various roles, Merrill Lynch
1989-1997: Various roles, Mercury Asset Management
It currently ranks 35th-largest asset manager in the world and has more than £400bn in assets under management.
The next step is to promote the brand where it is less known, particularly boosting its offering in Europe ahead of Brexit.
Scrimgeour says: "We already have people on the ground [in Europe] so this is more about looking at what we can do other than extending the Sicav range. For sure, with the people we already have and the products we already have we can be bigger than what we are today.
"We have a good current range and, looking at the European Sicav range, we are particularly strong in multi-asset. We have a great track record in the UK in managed funds so the whole solution is very interesting for Europe."
But just as important a message to get across as the breadth of what is on offer is the approach Columbia Threadneedle has to fund management. According to Scrimgeour, the firm achieves the best results by putting itself in its clients' shoes.
"It is not just what we do but how we do it. I am very impressed by the approach we have and it always comes back to culture. It is a very collaborative organisation and I see that collaboration working not just internally but with our clients, wherever they are, as well.
"Our proposition has a lot to do with performance, but then the other piece is the product and how you deliver that, and ensure it does what it says it should. Then there is the relationship with the client and the whole client experience.
"We should not forget that the reason we exist is to manage other people's money. That is why we have jobs. Asset management has a role to play in society by doing that job very well, and we recognise that."
Disruption to the active fund management world is coming from more than just the rise in passive investing. Indeed, regulation has a big part to play too.
Columbia Threadneedle is one of very few asset managers yet to announce its position on how to
pay for investment research once Mifid II comes into force at the start of next year.
Mifid II asks fund managers to decide whether to pay for research themselves, through their own balance sheet, or to charge investors through a research payment account.
Scrimgeour says: "We've had a programme in place for a very long time working towards the date [of Mifid II implementation]. We are doing everything we can to be ready. With regards to research commission, we've been going through a process and we are going to be talking to clients shortly."
When it comes to responding to what the UK regulator wants, in particular on what is included in the FCA asset management market study final report, Scrimgeour says the company is "in a reasonable position".
She also says it is "appropriate" that the regulator is looking at platforms and other parts of the value chain, not just fund managers.
"We are supportive of many initiatives the FCA has suggested. We had non-executive directors at the board for a number of years, and we also have a non-executive director who is very focused on the customers to make sure we are held to account on our responsibilities.
"It is also good to see the FCA is looking at the whole value chain, not just asset managers. I do not know how it will all end up but, when we come out of this, it is good to have considered all aspects and how they impact consumers."
Five questions
What's the best bit of advice you've received in your career?
To be open to change and see it as an opportunity. Being flexible and responsive to change led me to take on challenges outside of my comfort zone which have been some of the most important steps in my career.
What keeps you awake at night?
Not much.
What has had the most significant impact on financial advice in the last year?
The increase in asset management consolidation is reducing the choice for advisers, leading to an increase in use of discretionary fund management, multi-asset, model portfolios and central investment propositions in the search for solutions based on outcomes over benchmark.
If I was in charge of the FCA for a day I would…?
Encourage the recruitment of industry veterans as senior advisers to supplement FCA knowledge and enhance trust between the regulator and firms.
Any advice for new advisers?
Be passionate about what you do and use specialists where appropriate.

This page documents the GNU Taler history.
We now have a first version of the Taler wallet for Firefox. For now, a development build of Firefox is required. Installation instructions are on the Wallet page.
We just finished the camera-ready version of our paper on how to use Taler for Web payments. This paper does not discuss the cryptography behind Taler, but focuses on the practical aspects of how the wallet and the merchants interact over the Web. Hence, this paper should be a good read for anyone who wants to integrate Taler support with their Web site. We have posted the paper here.
We now have a business entity for Taler. Potential investors may contact the executive team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have reached our first big milestone, the 0.0.0 release!
The release includes implementations of a bank, exchange, merchant and wallet
and is available on the GNU FTP mirrors.
While the exchange implements the complete protocol, the implementations of merchant and wallet are both fundamentally incomplete and still lack key features, including important error handling. GNU Taler still lacks an implementation of an auditor or logic for integration with "real" banks. Thus, this release should not yet be used for actual financial transactions.
That said, you can already setup your own functional payment system and run your own toy currency -- or just try out the demo using the Chrome/Chromium browser at demo.taler.net.
Please provide feedback to our bug tracker. There, you can also find our roadmap which contains a list of known open issues and our plans for the near future.
We finally have a first simple demo for Taler online. The Firefox-variant still needs some love, but you can start to try out the demo using the Chrome/Chromium browser at demo.taler.net. Please provide feedback to our bug tracker.
Taler was accepted into the GNU project today. GNU will offer advice, advocacy and cooperation --- and host our official public mailinglist firstname.lastname@example.com.
Welcome to our new site about the Taler electronic payment system.

Character Thursday: Cardinal Richelieu
4 comments:
Belum baca lanjutannya jadi masih tetep menganggap Cardinal ini tokoh yang gak menyenangkan. Mungkin dia bersikap gentleman untuk tetap menjaga image dan kedudukannya. Bukan sesuatu yangmemang dilakukan dari hatinya :pReplyDeleteReplies
Hahaha. Nanti setelah baca Twenty Years After mungkin lebih jelas. Ayo, baca, baca. *mulai fangirling*Delete
Oh yes, I think Richelieu has a gentleman qualities in him that received respects even from his enemies. Compared to Mazarin, well...Richelieu almost seemed like a protagonist :DReplyDelete
It's a great idea, Listra, to feature an antagonist for your Character hursday!Replies
Thank you.Delete
Yes, I think both as politician and a man I prefer Richelieu to Mazarin. Richelieu is more certain of himself and have this menacing aura around him, while Mazarin is just a greedy minister. No wonder Athos reproaches him harshly.

Jeff Eisenstadt, president of Title Source, aforementioned his workers are constantly in employment to "build a amended mousetrap." Introducing practice breeding to recruits has generated large indefinite amount of accepted wisdom. Even if those philosophy aren't implemented, he said, hand psychological state improves because they're up to their necks in shooting up the camaraderie.
Eisenstadt got interested in outsourcing respective old age ago.

Outsourcing keying system has helped the business organisation cut costs and get personnel engrossment on their jobs to some extent than homework new workers all event direct tome spikes.

Still, there's a stipulation to disjunct the truths from the legends when it comes to outsourcing.
One myth, the flat solid noted, is outsourcing and offshoring are perfectly new. The outsourcing of feature jobs is goose egg new from an monetary standpoint, Kothari celebrated. It's fundamental intercontinental buying.
"If you're opposed to outsourcing, you should be in opposition the importation of coffee and tea in the U.S.," he said.
The top countries that speech act offshoring/outsourcing services to American companies - the Philippines, Ireland, China and India, for example - correspond to only just 1.5 a million jobs. In otherwise words, roughly speaking 1 per centum of jobs are outsourced, Kothari noted, which is not even a "rounding unsuitability."

Target Fixation - A Tornado Danger
I mention these incidents in my chasing experience because I believe that anyone can become 'target fixated' - specifically, even me. Somehow, seeing things unfold through a viewfinder can create a loss of situation awareness. What we see on our camera screens has a sort of unreality that detaches us from what's actually happening. Rather than making smug comments about how stupid the people are who fall victim to this, I need to remind myself that I too can behave stupidly when mesmerized by an unfolding tornado event.
The expression 'target fixation' apparently has its roots in WWII, where fighter pilots became so focused on their targets, they literally would fly into the ground! There can be little doubt that some of the most dramatic tornado videos going around the Internet are a direct result of this, so it behooves all of us to be aware that none of us are immune and we need to look away from our viewfinders from time to time, in order to assess the situation - to ensure we haven't lost our situational awareness to a dangerous extent.
As a sidebar to this, the ready availability of near real-time radar in a chase vehicle can create something similar to target fixation. There have been some incidents where people in the vehicles had their heads down staring at their laptop radar displays, without paying much attention to the reality unfolding around them. When you're in or near the "bear's cage" you need to pop your head up out of your laptop screen frequently and look at what's actually going on around you! The radar data you're using to make navigational safety decisions may be several minutes old, and your safety margins may be less than what the laptop screen is suggesting.
Part of being a responsible storm chaser is accepting the responsibility for your personal safety!
3 comments:
Frequently popping one's head out of the laptop screen isn't enough. I would argue that we need to keep their heads out of the laptop. I'm not saying we shouldn't watch the radar; I'm just saying that we shouldn't get dependent on it. In my opinion, we need to spend way more time observing the storm than watching the radar - unless of course, one of us is Dr. Wurman in a DOW. As a friend and mentor taught me, one should chase primarily on visuals - maybe I'm taking it too far, but to me visuals take a lot of precedence over the radar. Of course, my early chase years were with minimal radar access, so I'm used to the idea; but my mentor brought it to my mind as a principle.
Come to think of it, you guys didn't really use radar at all back in the day, did you...?

A valuable discussion, as I had not heard of target fixation previously. The word complacent came to mind many times when thinking of quite a few of the chaser accounts during 31 May, but it doesnt really fit - we are well aware of the dangers of tornadoes. To further complicate matters the size of the various "targets" ranging from subvortices to the larger tornado, and possibly tornado obscured by rain all probably wreak havoc on situational awareness. In some way this discussion reminded me of the OODA loop, where the presentation of this tornado prevented orientation, effectively stalling decision-making. Interesting to think about.

Perhaps I have been gifted with situational awareness from the numerous strategy based games I play, or simply by birth, but I was one of the first people in the van that day in El Reno. Looking back though I probably could have stayed longer and stood closer to get a better shot... chalk it up to inexperience around large tornadoes.

When Harold Fry received a letter from a friend he hadn't heard from in more than 20 years telling him she was dying of cancer, he hardly knew how to respond. The letter brought back a rustle of memories, but still, what could he say after all this time? Finally, Harold sat down and wrote a short note back telling his friend, Queenie Hennessy, that he was sorry to hear it and wished her well.
Walking down to the post office to mail the letter, Harold was gripped by the insufficiency of his response. Procrastinating, he decided to walk down to the next post office in hope of inspiration. Before long, he found himself heading further away from home as he sought out post office after post office. Eventually he came to a new town where he was inspired by a gas station store clerk to keep the faith and that by doing so, maybe she would live.
Spurred by a desire to keep her alive and a willingness to leave behind a wife who had long since stopped loving him, Harold wrote on the envelope that he was going to come to her, and she should stay alive until he got there to say goodbye. What began as a lark soon became a pilgrimage for Harold. As he walked 627 miles over 87 days to reach Queenie, Harold had plenty of time to think of his failed marriage, his miserable childhood, and his inability to show his son David love.
This profoundly moving novel takes the reader along the journey with Harold as he tries to change the future with his pilgrimage, and maybe even the past. This is an outstanding debut novel that belongs on the top of the list of every book club.
