It is an interesting article and if you have some time go and read it. It gives the uninitiated a brief look at organization of information in the past, and how folksonomies differ from what has come before them.
It seems to me that the criticism of folksonomies are a little snooty given by this example:
Yet not everyone was convinced that folksonomies would deliver on this promise. The absence of rules in assigning tags has been feared to lead to quality problems, including imprecision, overlap, duplication, ambiguity, and erroneous identification (Dotsika, 2007; Guy and Tonkin, 2006). Others expressed doubt that user–generated tags would ever "organically arrive at preferred terms for concepts, or even evolve synonymous clusters" (Rosenfeld, 2005). With no guidelines for tag production, what was there to prevent all that potentially useful information out there from being tagged with broadly non–useful identifiers such as "mydog," "readlater," or "vacationpics"?
I don't disagree with what is said, I just think that people are failing to take into account that tagging is, after all, a way to organize YOUR personal collection of items. Who cares if I tag a photo of my dog as "Rex", "MyDog", "MyNinthDog" or something else? If it has meaning to me, then who cares? I do realize the need for a controlled vocabulary, and people who do this type of tagging for institutions can wrap their heads around it, but for personal use (like del.icio.us) there is no need to be snooty :-)
All things considered - good article. Go read it (or at least bookmark it for future reference)

Support MountainViews, buy our books.Thanks to various people for telling us diverse ways and places to buy our first book "A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits - The Vandeleur-Lynams & The Arderins"
Apart from being a handy reference in print for four lists of summits it has a selection of great pictures and various articles on the family of lists, on where the lists came from, on summiteering and selected correspondence with people such as Joss Lynam.
Buying books helps MountainViews since we make a small amount on each. But you can help us another way. This book is quite special with its data having been generated by a community, some parts by crowd-sourcing even. Unique inputs, unique value.
We have a number of samples which we certainly will give out to appropriate people and so will the publishers but we want as wide an exposure as possible. So, consider buying extra copies to give out. Are you in a club? Do you know media people? Contacts abroad? Send them a copy with an explanation of what its about. Reviews, publicity.
If you know contact names in national or provincial papers send them to email@example.com - Collins PR machine will send out some where there is a good chance of an influential review. We could use contact names for the media in Northern Ireland such as UTV or the Belfast Telegraph.

You must reach that point from where you guide yourself
in such a way that the guiding lines become part of you."
- Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Refuting the mystical, metaphysical concept of the existence of individual, discrete selves (while bearing in a non existent mind, that there is no universally accepted theory as to what the word "existence" means)
Beautiful quote and painting. Is it your painting?
Hi Natalie.
I love that painting too. It was used on the cover of an edition of The Upanishads. The birds in the tree are symbolic, but I can't recall exactly what they represent.
Someone once asked me to do a version of it, as a commission, but this is the original.
Thank you for this reminder.
Hi Kathleen.
Yes, its often hard to connect with one's inner guru in our distracted, consumerist society.

Florio suggested that the Steelers reach out to quarterbacks familiar with Todd Haley's offensive stylings on Monday morning and the chances of that happening don't actually look too bad.
Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com reports that the Steelers fear that they will be without quarterback Byron Leftwich "a while" because of the rib and shoulder injuries Leftwich suffered in the 13-10 loss to Baltimore on Sunday night. Per LaCanfora, they expect to work out quarterbacks this week although there's no word if Tyler Palko or Brodie Croyle are on the list.
All of that lends support to the notion that Ben Roethlisberger will miss another couple of weeks as a result of his own shoulder and rib injuries. In his Monday Morning Quarterback column for SI.com, Peter King spoke to a thorasic surgeon who said Roethlisberger could risk further damage by returning too soon. That doctor hasn't examined Roethlisberger, so we can't know what too soon might be in this case but there aren't any indications that it will be in time for him to play in Week 12.
That would leave the Steelers with a wounded (and therefore possibly less effective after failing to set the world on fire Sunday) Leftwich, Charlie Batch or whatever might be behind door number three. Not exactly where you want to find yourself with only a one game lead in the Wild Card race.

My lovely mother was raving over some carrot soup that she and my dad love, so I asked her to forward the recipe to me one day. I finally got around to trying it and I'm so glad that I did! It's rich, creamy, and perfect for a chilly autumn day. The fennel and cloves add a nice depth of flavor. Instead of sauteing the vegetables, I decided to roast them. I also added another clove of garlic, a little heavy cream and a hint of ginger. Other than that, I pretty much stuck to the ingredients. Bravo, mom!
Serves 6
- 2 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/2 c onion, chopped
- 3 large whole garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 c chicken broth
- 1/2 c heavy cream
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- Optional: 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toss the carrots, onion and garlic cloves with the melted butter and olive oil in a large bowl to coat. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, add the chicken broth, heavy cream, fennel seeds, cinnamon cloves and optional ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the roasted vegetables to the liquid and simmer for 15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, food processor or blender, process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with sour cream and freshly sliced ginger.

The City Council is unwilling to allow Private Hire Taxis in the Bus Lanes because they're concerned about how they could distinguish them from motorists and other Council's Private Taxis and what impact it would have on Buses. This is part of the reply I recently recieved from the Council's Deputy Chief Executive:
However the Manchester Private Hire Association argue that the reasons Private Hire Taxis should be allowed to use the Bus Lanes is because
A) PHVs can clearly be distinguished from a normal car
B) 64 Councils nationally allow PHVs in Bus Lanes (major cities are Liverpool/Glasgow)
C) Equality act 2010 is being broken against their customers who choose to use this form of transport over another
D) Unfair competition laws broken (EU articles 49,56,58) - allowing Black Cabs doing the same job to use Bus Lanes
E) Green Issues - Stuck in traffic adds pollution to the city
F) Stuck in traffic means PHVs customers will pay more as meter clocks up waiting time.
G) Stuck in traffic PHVs customers can miss Hospital/Doctors/Dentists appointments adding extra pressure to NHS waiting lists and appointments.
They also dispute the Councils concerns about not being able to distinguish PHVs:
What do you think? Should Private Hire Taxi Vehicles be allowed to use Bus Lanes?

What's the May Entertainment Issue without some jazz? We're turning the community spotlight on Jazz Houston, a local nonprofit dedicated to creating and preserving a swinging, world-class resident Jazz Orchestra comprising the finest musicians and programming that demonstrates the richness and variety of jazz from all of its eras.
JAZZ HOUSTON realizes the dream of many Houstonians and Texans by creating an institution that nurtures and promotes a genuine passion for jazz music, its players and its history in the city, state, region, nation and world. The organization is led by world-renowned jazz trombonist and educator, VINCENT GARDNER, who has been a resident member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for more than 15 years and has traveled the world extensively, performing and educating audiences, students and musicians about America's music.
The foundation of Jazz Houston is their swinging, 15-piece full-time resident orchestra, where world-class musicians perform music that shares the richness and variety found across all eras of jazz. As only the second arts organization in the US to support such an orchestra, Jazz Houston explores the array of styles within jazz, while celebrating and preserving its rich history. To showcase the diverse musical and cultural heritage of Houston, the organization also strives to collaborate with artists from other genres including gospel, pop, classical and R&B. They also intend to create experiences that mesh jazz with other performing arts disciplines such as theater, opera and ballet.
In the words of Gardner, "Houston is a vibrant, soulful, multicultural city that has always loved and supported its musicians and their music. Houstonians have a deep connection to jazz through their love of the blues, their close geographical and cultural ties to Louisiana, and their many major jazz contributors. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this vision
for an internationally recognized jazz organization to this city."

Medical schools » United States » Iowa » Iowa City
University of Iowa (Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine)
The Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine is an integral part of The University of Iowa. It contributes to the education of several thousand University students, is home to ground-breaking research in a wide array of disciplines, and provides a statewide educational health care resource.
Ranked 9th among top primary care medical schools and 24 th among research schools by U.S. News and World Report Magazine. UI rural medicine, family medicine, physician assistant, physical therapy, audiology and speech pathology programs place among the nation's top ten on U.S. News lists.
The UI is home to the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of only 50 centers in the country to receive comprehensive designation from the National Cancer Institute.
To succeed as an academic medical center and not just as health care providers, we must continue our deeply rooted commitment to our tripartite mission. We train tomorrow's doctors for tomorrow's cures, we seek knowledge and make discoveries for healing and we help our patients today. Only with constant, effective communication of our shared vision, a continuing trust and respect for one another and the abilities to adapt and be flexible, will we succeed.
Goals :
1. Provide outstanding educational programs for students in the health professions and in the biomedical sciences in order that our graduates will have appropriate knowledge and skills for the needs of society.
2. Develop new knowledge about human biology, and conduct health services research related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human disease.
3. Provide high-quality, cost effective and comprehensive health care to patients of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and their affiliated community programs.
4. Strengthen the faculty, facilities and management capacity of the College, its departments and programs, to achieve the collegiate mission.
Consistent with its academic mission and standards, the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is committed to achieving excellence through diversity. As a community of faculty, staff and students engaged in research, patient care, scholarship, teaching and learning, the College of Medicine fosters an environment that is diverse, humane, and welcoming. Efforts are made to provide a supportive environment in which people from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures may encounter each other in a spirit of cooperation, openness, and mutual respect.
The Carver College of Medicine is the only college in Iowa that offers a curriculum leading to the Doctor of Medicine. It also is home to the Division of Associated Medical Sciences, which provides programs of education and training for physician assistants, clinical laboratory scientists, nuclear medicine technologists, physical therapists, and radiation sciences professionals.
The college participates in the education of students in the Colleges of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health, and in the life-sciences and health-related programs of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate College.
Health professionals from throughout the Midwest take part in the college's year-round program of continuing medical education. They update their knowledge and skills through refresher courses, clinics, and conferences.
Doctor of Medicine and other health science students have a number of opportunities to gain experience in private medical offices and community hospitals. M.D. graduates may pursue further training in the specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics at one of 10 University of Iowa-affiliated residence programs in six Iowa cities. They also have access to two transitional-year programs. The Carver College of Medicine also offers a variety of services in support of Iowa physicians and community hospitals.
In addition to its responsibilities for educating physicians, the college addresses broad public issues of distribution and organization of health care services. Its faculty members advise and serve on national, state, and regional health planning councils, health boards, and various health agencies; some faculty members also take part in the University's Center for Health Services Research.
Accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Carver College of Medicine meets the requirements of all state licensing boards. Its M.D. diploma admits the holder to all privileges granted to graduates of all medical colleges before such boards. All other professional programs administered by the college are accredited by their respective accrediting bodies.
Communities for Excellence in Learning and Leadership for Society (CELLS) are set up to manage curriculum and student affairs and to encourage community service.
Each medical student is assigned to one of four Communities, with M1s, M2s, M3s and M4s equally divided among them. Students are not limited to these groups but will belong to a designated Community for their entire medical school experience.
Students will continue to identify with their academic group, but with the added sense of being a member of a Community. Communities are staffed by a director, curriculum/ community coordinator, and secretary.
The Medical Education and Biomedical Research Facility, scheduled for completion in summer 2001, will house the CELLS in four, two-level "pods." Each pod contains
small group rooms, examination rooms, study areas, and office space to support the activities of the Community.
The Communities offer additional opportunities for formal and informal learning, professional skills acquisition, wellness and service learning projects, and leadership
development activities. Students participate in a variety of peer activities, including mentoring, teaching and support.
From the first semester, Foundations of Clinical Practice acquaints medical students with the clinical skills necessary for becoming a practicing generalist physician. In the first semester, lectures, small case-based learning groups and small group skill-building sessions focus on communication
in the doctor-patient relationship, accessing and managing medical information, and applying basic biostatistics and principles of medical ethics.
Students shadow health care providers to gain a valuable introduction to clinical medicine. Principles of doctor-patient communication are reinforced
and the component parts of the general physical examination are taught and practiced. Multiculturalism, preventive medicine and health promotion, medical informatics and the social context of medicine are
emphasized. The course begins building clinical skills so students enter the second-year with more experience in clinical diagnosis.
Students experience early interaction with patients and focus on the necessary communication skills. Through problem-based learning, the course also fosters independent learning methods, including self-directed learning and analytical skills.
The fourth semester is a hands-on introduction to the clinical disciplines where students apply basic medical science knowledge to the care of patients. After completing this course, students are able to obtain a medical history and perform a thorough physical examination, and systematically apply their findings to formulate a diagnosis.
Foundations of Clinical Practice covers diverse topics including preventive and behavioral medicine, history-taking and physical examination skills and human sexuality. More than just a variety of topics rolled into
one course, it is a way to help students develop lifelong learning skills that are so vital to physicians in their practices and careers.
The College of Medicine's strength in research offers our students many opportunities.
In fiscal year 1999, the College ranked 10th among public medical schools in support from the National Institutes of Health. A study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine found Iowa to be one of the nation's most productive states in terms of biomedical research per capita. Three faculty members are Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. The College's research
excellence is reflected in the more than 20 centers funded by program project and core center grants and awards for specialized centers of research. These
include: the Iowa Cochlear Implant Clinical Research Center, the world's largest center for cochlear implant research; the Diabetes and Endocrinology Research
Center, where an interdisciplinary group of investigators have been collaborating for more than 20 years; and the Iowa Specialized Center of Research in Pediatric
Cardiovascular Disease, one of only six centers of its kind in the U.S. The UI is one of only seven institutions in the country where medical students can receive hands-on clinical research training through the Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship.
The University of Iowa College of Medicine is part of the UI health sciences campus, which plays a major role in preparing health professionals for Iowa and the nation. In addition to Medicine, it includes the colleges of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health, UI Hospitals and Clinics, and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Its academic programs, clinical facilities and service agencies prepare students and practitioners to serve a wide spectrum of human health needs. The UI health sciences center is simultaneously a center of learning and of service, especially to rural areas of Iowa. It is one of the most advanced, comprehensive health sciences centers in the United States.
Medical Education and Biomedical Research Facility — Scheduled for completion in late 2001, this 214,000 square-foot facility will be the flagship building for the College of Medicine. Classrooms, meeting and conference rooms, and a four-story "Great Hall" in an atrium-like setting will foster interaction between
students, faculty and staff. Interdisciplinary research space will house the Roy J. Carver Molecular Science
Research Center, and the Roland and Ruby Holden Cancer Research Laboratories. It will also include the Sahai Medical Education Center, the Office of Student Affairs and Curriculum, and student communities and classrooms. Planning has begun for "Building B" which will add 110,000 square feet of laboratory and office space.
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics — University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious teaching hospitals, presents a variety of opportunities to health sciences students.

Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine Medical School Location
Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine Courses
The first two years' curriculum helps students identify and develop the skills, knowledge, awareness and sensitivities that physicians will need in the future.
This intertwining of knowledge, judgement, and intuition coupled with an abiding concern for one's fellow human beings is the basis of medicine. A firstyear medical student at The University of Iowa will learn the factual and technical language of medicine, come to understand the structure and function of the body in health and disease and begin to apply this knowledge to clinical
The medical curriculum also seeks to orient medicine in the larger social context in which conflicting values, goals, economic motives and political forces wrestle to shape health care access and delivery.
Beginning with the small (the molecule) and progressing to the large (organ systems), students learn about the normal structure and function of these systems and their components. Small discussion groups emphasize the selfeducation and teaching skills that are the basis of a successful medical career.
Students have the opportunity to make clinical case presentations and creative research presentations, integrating the basic science gained in lecture
and laboratory sessions with clinically relevant information.
After completing the first year, many students choose to spend the summer working and learning in an Iowa community hospital or conducting medical research projects.
In the second year, students continue basic science study, applying what they have learned about the body systems in order to understand how disease alters normal processes to produce signs and symptoms, the pattern of which we recognize as syndromes.

The clinical courses at the University of Iowa College of Medicine take place during the last two years of the medical curriculum. In order to qualify for graduation
with the M.D. degree, students must satisfactorily complete a total of 80 weeks of courses during the 2 clinical years: 68 weeks of required courses and
12 weeks of electives. Course distribution is 48 weeks in the first clinical year and at least 32 weeks in the second clinical year.
The first clinical year begins with a week devoted to orientation and to clinical skills. Information about clinical courses, universal precautions, management of
acute trauma, and patient communication skills are emphasized and students have the opportunity to practice basic procedures.
These two years include six generalist core clerkships: family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, and community-based
primary care. Each course includes a mix of inpatient and outpatient activities, introduces the student to a specific discipline (or to the practice of medicine in
the community), and presents the opportunity to develop and practice clinical skills.
Required subspecialty clerkships: anesthesia, dermatology, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, psychiatry, radiology, urology, and concurrent courses in electrocardiography and laboratory medicine.
Advanced clerkships: inpatient generalist ub-internships and critical care or emergency medicine.

Christmas is by far my favorite time of year for many things: time with family and friends, spreading good cheer for all to share.... :) , good food, baking (anyone who knows me knows this is a lie), lots of fires, hot cocoa, which may or may not be spiked with Baileys, and last but not least, holiday decorating! I've been busy decorating our home for the holidays and will definitely share my decorating here on the blog. I hope to have a tour ready by Monday to participate in various link ups that are being hosted. Before that, I wanted to share some projects I've worked on this week.
I purchased new stockings this year (this came after my DIY sweater stocking FAIL that I tried last year and never shared here). I went with the plain white Pottery Barn Velvet Stockings:
(if you are looking closely at the picture, you will notice white fluffy stuff all over our floor! You'll see what that is from tomorrow when I posed another project.....)
Our previous stockings were purchased over time and were assorted colors and styles, and while I will use the boys stockings for their gifts, I've put those in their rooms and wanted to go with something simple over the fireplace. I like to change decorating schemes each Christmas and white is easy to use. But, when I hung them up on the mantel, I have to admit, it was a little boring.
That is where my clearance bin ribbon came in handy. I bought a ton of varieties and have been using them all over our home this Christmas:
I chose two different sized ribbons that go with our "colors" this year and hot glued the ribbon into circles that fit around the stocking:
Than, I used our initials to affix the ribbon to the stocking:
I added a poinsettia for a little color:
Next year, when I change my mind again for colors, I can easily change out the ribbon to go along with the new theme.
Here is a peak of the stockings on our mantel:
Hopefully you will come back later next week to see more of our home for the holiday!
Thanks for stopping by.

|This Week's Treasures
One thing I personally enjoy is seeing that people from all over the world are reading my essays! This still amazes me, and is something really wonderful about our online world.
Reading blog posts is as fun and interesting as writing them. There are soooo many fascinating things in the blogosphere! This Blog Crawl Gems series features some of my favorite posts each week.
Galileo's Pendulum convinced me that I had no idea how mirrors actually work. But now I do. Did you know that "mirrors actually don't reverse left and right ... The mirror is actually reversing front and back!" It's true, I tried it. But that's for flat mirrors, there are concave mirrors and convex mirrors and experiments with spoons! This is a fun post.
Another neat post from The Artful Amoeba: the First Book of Photographs. Published in 1843, this book was authored by a woman (the photographer), surprising for the times. It is a collection of cyanotypes of algae, specifically British seaweed. This is one of the "old, rare or valuable" scientific books on display in the current Treasures of the Royal Society Library exhibit. Cyanotype to right is Desmarestia ligulata, Flattened Acid Kelp (courtesy the British Library).
Finally, I especially enjoyed the December 27 Earth Picture of the Day -- a "close-up" of the Horseshoe Bend, an entrenched meander on the Colorado River. Why? because it is so beautiful, and this time of year so inviting!

Barnet have gone double Dutch after appointing Ulrich Landvreugd as their assistant coach.
The former Ajax youngster links up with Holland legend Edgar Davids, who moved to the Football League's bottom club last week as joint-head coach alongside Mark Robson.
Landvreugd, who had a brief spell with Ipswich before an injury ended his playing career, will work alongside Kenny Brown with the new Under-21 development squad.
Academy manager James Thorn told the club's website: "I am delighted to welcome Uli as part of our coaching team here at Barnet FC.
"This is as a result of our recently achieved status as a Category Two Academy, the only one in League Two, which requires the formation of a separate Under-21 squad and an increase in contact time across all age groups.
"The requirement for well-qualified, experienced coaching staff is essential and we are searching Europe to find the best available to help educate and develop our young players."

Ahead of this year's New York Comic-Con, Hasbro has unveiled some of its toy merchandising for next year's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". In the process they appear to give away which villains could be showing up in the latter film.
The photos include 'Ultimate Green Goblin,' 'Black Cat,' 'Carnage' and the film's main villain 'Electro'. However, the writer who snapped the photos says they were told not all these character will appear in the movie – so it's a guessing game as to which of the first three will join Jamie Foxx's Electro in action:

Easter egg sugar cookies with royal icing
Last year, I tried my hand at Easter egg sugar cookies with royal icing. But most of the royal icing recipes I found called for meringue powder (and I didn't have any on hand) or raw egg whites (and with young nieces, I didn't want to risk salmonella poisoning.)
Royal icing without eggs or merengue powder
I finally found a recipe in a cookbook that simply called for icing sugar, water and some lemon juice. So I tried it.
I tinted the icing with green, red, blue and yellow (not shown here) food colouring.
You can tell that the consistency of the icing was a bit too watery because there's some run-off on some cookies and the shapes I tried to pipe didn't hold too well.
When I tasted the icing, it was quite lemony but I thought the icing flavour was quite good. My niece Aliya disagreed. It seems the tartness of the lemon juice didn't please her palate. Noted for next time: Too much lemon might be off-putting for kids.

With new Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini likely to be given a massive transfer war chest, it is an excellent opportunity to look at the former Villarreal, Real Madrid and Malaga boss's previous transfer dealings.
We have set up an all-time transfer XI of the very best of them.
Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez | Villarreal CF
The Spanish shot-stopper was bought by Pellegrini for around £5.1m in 2007. He made 171 league appearances for Villarreal in total. The 6ft 5in goalkeeper played a pivotal role under Pellegrini and continued to do so after his manager left for Real Madrid which, coincidentally, Lopez himself did upon Villarreal's relegation from La Liga.
Last season he was able to displace Madrid legend, Iker Casillas from between the posts which he has occupied for so long. This was due to tensions between Casillas and ex-manager Jose Mourinho.
Right-back: Alvaro Arbeloa | Real Madrid
Brought to the Bernabeu to replace Miguel Torres and Michel Salgado, Arbeloa was considered an excellent purchase, with Liverpool accepting only £5m for the Spanish international.
Since joining Madrid he has made 107 appearances and has led to Sergio Ramos being utilised at centre-back, so as to offer more width and pace in the full-back role.
Centre-back: Raul Albiol | Real Madrid
The versatile defender was bought for £15m, being given the number 18 jersey upon his move from Spanish rivals, Valencia. He has gone on to make 81 appearances at the Bernabeu and 39 for the Spanish national side.
One of Albiol's biggest strengths is his versatility, allowing him to play practically anywhere across the back four.
Centre-back: Diego Godin | Villarreal CF
The Uruguayan centre-half is one of Pellegrini's sharpest finds, signing Godin when he was only 20 years of age. He is a brute of a defender, yet combines this with decent ball control and passing ability. Godin made 91 appearances at the Estadio El Madrigal before earning a £6.6m move to Atletico Madrid in 2010, where he has played ever since.
Left-back: Nacho Monreal | Malaga
Yet another Spaniard makes the XI at left-back, after Nacho Monreal's move from Osasuna in a £5.3m deal. Although his time at Malaga was fairly brief, Monreal was a pivotal individual in securing Champions League for Pellegrini.
His bombing runs and excellent crossing were utilised often throughout the campaign. The Spaniard's form resulted in a move to Premier League club Arsenal for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £8m.
Right-wing: Cristiano Ronaldo | Real Madrid
Upon his arrival at Real, the Chilean manager proceeded to utilise the largest transfer budget in the club's history, most notably with the £80m signing of possibly the best player in the world, Ronaldo.
The Portuguese superstar has been in scintillating form while at the Bernabeu, scoring 201 goals in only 199 games! There is the possibility of a move back to Old Trafford on the cards, but Ronaldo will always be considered a Madrid legend.
Centre-midfielder: Santi Cazorla | Villarreal & Malaga
The fact that Pellegrini bought the diminutive playmaker while at both Malaga and Villarreal is a tribute to the impact that Cazorla has on the teams he plays for.
With outstanding vision and clinical free-kick taking ability, the Spanish international was brought to Malaga for around £17m. However, just as they did with Monreal, Arsenal have taken advantage of the financial demise of Malaga and stripped them of one of their most prized assets. He has had an excellent season at the Emirates, scoring 12 and setting up 14 more.
Centre-midfielder: Xabi Alonso | Real Madrid
The holding midfielder continues to be one of the key players at every club he's at. His passing, determination and vision have marked him out as one of the best players in the world for his position.
Pellegrini brought him to the Bernabeu for £30m from Liverpool, with former teammate Steven Gerrard apparently being "devastated" by the midfielder's decision.
Left-wing: Isco | Malaga
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the brightest stars in world football at the moment. Pellegrini activated a £4.5m buyout clause to bring the talented youngster back to La Rosaleda.
He scored 12 goals in 46 appearances, while also contributing four assists. With Pellegrini heading to Manchester City, it seems highly likely that Isco could be following him.
Striker: Giuseppe Rossi | Villarreal CF
Although a flop at Old Trafford, Rossi found Villarreal to be a place where his talents were truly appreciated and he scored 54 goals in his 136 appearances.
He joined for around £6.6m and was certainly worth every penny, with 2010/11 being his standout season where, in 56 appearances, he hit the net 32 times.
Striker: Karim Benzema | Real Madrid
Another of Pellegrini's mega signings while at Real Madrid, the French striker was bought for £30m. He has been prolific in his time at the Bernabeu, scoring 89 goals and adding 50 assists to his tally. However, he has been linked with a move away from Madrid after his less than impressive efforts in front of goal last season.
It is apparent that Pellegrini is highly knowledgeable when it comes to making big-name transfer signings and appears especially fond of purchasing Spanish players. This could prove useful to Manchester City, with Isco being a viable option for the Citizens this summer.
But what do you think? Which other Pellegrini signings should make his Ultimate Transfer XI. Leave your comments below.

Here's the look I'll be sporting to show my Love for my country, if you like it, read along and find out what I used and how I achieved this look :)
As you can see, I went for blue and white eyes and red lips. I'll take you from start to finish
1. Start with a nice clean face. Right out of the shower, I apply Jergens Skin Firming lotion ALL over, including my face and neck. This lotion smells lovely and moisturizes all day long. Make sure you moisturize, and of course, if you will be outside, smear on that sunscreen!
2. While your moisturizer is setting/ drying, gather your products! I decided beforehand what look I would be achieving, so I went to my handy dandy cart o' makeup and pulled out my best white and blue products! I also of course used my Kryolan Aquacolor, in white. Check it out here!
3. Paint your lid with Kyrolan Aquacolor. Once it dries pat on any type of white eye shadow you have, I used Tako by Sugarpill. Make sure the white is EVERYWHERE! This is going to be the base of the whole look.
4. Take any blue you have and run it in the crease. BLEND! Next, you want to smoke it out a bit by connecting the crease to the lower lash line by making a < or > shape, depending on which side you are working on. Blend.Blend.Blend!
5. Take any kind of black eyeliner and line your top lid, getting as close as possible to your lash line. This is ESPECIALLY important if you will be using false lashes. Once the top is done, go ahead and line the bottom waterline.
6. Since darker colors are very apparent when fallout has occurred, you are going to want to take a fluffy brush and go back over the inner corner of your eyes with white, to keep that area nice and bright!
7. Time for foundation! Take your every day foundation and apply as normal. I recently purchased HD powder by e.l.f for a whopping $6, and brushed that over my foundation to keep it in place. You can also contour your face with bronzer and apply blush. *tip: when using a matte finishing powder you always want to use a highlight overtop to keep your face from looking flat*
8. Time for the lips! Line those puppies with any red liner you have, and apply your red lipstick! If your lipstick doesn't have any shine to it, apply a clear coat on top OR a red gloss!!
TADA! There you have it! If you want curls, dry your hair with a defuser, straighten out the top 3 inches or so, near your roots. Curl the rest with a curling wand, start the curl 3 inches from the root so that the top of your hair is still straight. I separate my hair into three tiers, and section those tiers into about 4, 2 inch pieces. After your whole head is curled, turn your locks upside down and give em a good shake! Finish with a spritz of hairspray and a shiny gloss spray :) Tie up with bandana and you're good to go!
Have a Happy, Safe 4th of July!

#Jonn Hart featured
Jonn Hart intro
Meet Epic Records' latest prospect, Jonn Hart, who sparked a label bidding war with his West Coast smash "Who Booty." Since leaving a local Oakland R&B/hip-hop group, the 23-year-old Bay Area native has already worked with the likes of E-40, French Montana and fellow up-and-coming Californian Iamsu!. We caught up with Jonn on the set of the video for his "Who Booty" remix with French Montana to talk about Bay Area rap, his audition for L.A. Reid and his upcoming solo mixtape. If you don't know, now you know. —XXL Staff
On his background in music:
I grew up around music my whole life. I grew up with my mom singing in the choir, and my stepfather actually does gospel music. My stepfather had his own studio, and I remember going in the booth for the first time and playing around. After I got out, I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I've taken vocal lessons, but it's been more of a natural thing since my mom sings. I think I've inherited some of that. I haven't taken all of it from her. But yeah, I'm actively [working] with a vocal coach and will continue to be throughout my whole career in order to keep getting better and keep getting stronger.
On early influences:
The Bay area definitely has a huge influence on me. How I am, how I dress. But I really listened to everything. As far as our generation nowadays, if you look inside somebody's iPod you'll see pop, hip hop, R&B, rock songs, everything. And that's the same for me. Growing up, one of my favorite rappers was Fabolous. He was from New York, but he was one of my favorites and still is. Obviously, being from the Bay, 40 is a legend to me. Too $hort is another person that made his mark as a legend. On the R&B side, Tony! Toni! Tone! In the Bay they were just huge. And to this day I still look up to Usher. When he came out with "U Make Me Wanna," I thought that shit was so fly. I appreciate all the Ushers and my peers like Chris Brown and Trey Songz. I have a lot of respect for all of them.
On the making and breaking of his former group, Tha Outfit:
I was in a hip-hop/R&B group for a while. Two singers, two rappers. I got a lot of my foundation from that. Two of them were on tour during the hyphy movement with E-40, and after hyphy was kind of over, they came back and we formed the group. We had some local success from the Bay to Los Angeles, and then we broke up in January of this year. There hasn't been a real successful urban boy band since Pretty Ricky, and I thought it could've been really successful, but the group was in the group's way. Basically just four individuals with four different personalities that couldn't get along. It's crazy how "Who Booty" has taken off, because it was really one of the first records I did as a solo artist.
On auditioning for L.A. Reid and signing to Epic:
There were five people in the room: L.A Reid, the head of urban, the head of A&R, all that. I did three songs and it was just a crazy experience. Very humbling. It was that feeling though, like I've been doing it for so long to finally get to this point to have somebody listen to me. So even though I was nervous, it didn't matter because I wasn't going to leave that room without giving it my all. So even if nothing came out of it—no deal or whatever, even if he told me, "Go have a great life"—I would have felt like I left my all out there on the table, so whatever happened is what happened. And that's what I did. I was like, "No matter how nervous I am, I'm going super hard—it don't matter." After the showcase, they put the lawyers in contact that night. And I've been signed for about two months.
On fusing genres:
I don't want all my music to be the same. I still make Bay Area music, and then I'll also make an R&B track, and I don't know when I'm going to get to the pop, but I'm gonna get to the pop. I enjoy it all because the thing I like about music is that it's all art. So sometimes I might want to do an R&B club song, or if I'm feeling turnt up I'll do something for that, and sometimes I might want to do more of a slower love-song record that still has that edge to it.
On what's next:
I have a really strong base on the West so hopefully we'll take that East and South and cover the whole nation. As far as music, I have enough material to release a mixtape. So if I have Epic's blessing, I definitely want to release a mixtape by early next month. I'm ready to go with that. It'll be all original material, which I'm excited about because since all my old material was within a group, this is the first one from just me. It'll make things make sense and people will see what kind of artist I am. Nobody wants to be classified as a one-hit wonder. Everybody's wondering, 'So, what else do this guy have?' The mixtape will silence those questions. And then along with that, I'm already working on album songs. I don't have a date or a deadline or anything like that yet, but there are certain songs I've made where I know they'll end up on my album.

Microsoft SQL Sever 2008- Implementation and Maintenance by Mike Hotek
$69.99 from Microsoft Press
Until recently, I've never done much with databases, but since my job now involves dealing with SQL databases I thought it was high time I learned! For this, I used three very different books: The Manga Guide to Databases for a refresher on concepts, Murach's SQL Server 2008 for the actual SQL queries, and finally, this Microsoft book for the details on administering MS-SQL Server. I've also occasionally referred to the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, also from Microsoft Press.
The Implementation and Maintenance guide is written specifically for one purpose: preparing you to take the SQL Server Administration exam, MCTS Exam 70-432. As such, don't expect theoretical descriptions of how databases work or instructions on how to write an efficient SQL query; this book is about administering the database, not using it. The expectation is that those reading the book already have experience working with databases and a working knowledge of how SQL Server 2008 works. Since it's the official Microsoft book, and my workplace will pay for the people in my study group to take the exam, we decided this would be the best choice for directing our study.
The book itself has its plusses and minuses. The main drawback is the editing, or lack thereof; it's clear that the book was rushed out with an insufficient amount of time devoted to finding and fixing typos. The worst example of this is the tear-out exam objectives sheet at the front of the book, which lists the objectives and where the corresponding material can be found in the book. However, many of the locations referred to don't even exist; for example, the section on maintaining SQL server instances tells you to read lessons 2, 3, and 4 of chapter 10…which has only two lessons. There are a number of other typos as well; for example, a table listing the values that various data types can take on somehow lost its formatting, so that what should be -231 became -231 instead. Not too difficult to figure out, but still annoying. O'Reilly, who publishes the Microsoft Press books, has an errata list available, but most of the errors are on the unconfirmed list, as the "official" list apparently hasn't been updated since July 2010. I'm sure this isn't the fault of O'Reilly, since their own editing tends to be quite good, but I still find it quite annoying. Aside from outright wrong information, there are also oddities like exam questions that cover material which has not yet been covered in the book, which again should have been caught with proper editing. Additionally, although I suppose this isn't really the fault of the book, the instructions for installing SQL Server are out of date and we had to throw them out entirely; I would have expected this to be updated by the fourth printing of the book.
On the plus side, I found most of the book to be quite readable. Each chapter opens with a story from the author's experience that illustrates why a particular concept is important, and the descriptions are quite easy to follow. I found it to be interesting reading up until about the last third of the book, when the writing seemed to bog down; granted, this is also where you get into the most technical detail.
The main attraction of this book, however – certainly, the main reason we chose it – is the test questions. Each section has just a couple of questions at the end of it, but the book comes with a CD containing full practice exams; I haven't yet taken them as from what I've heard, they cover all off the material rather than being divided by chapter and I haven't quite finished the book. While the reviews on the test questions are mixed, I've seen several reviews from people who felt they were useful for studying for the exam. Additionally, the book comes with a coupon code for a 20% discount on additional practice tests, as well as another one for 15% off the cost of a Microsoft exam; taking advantage of those easily covers the cost of the book if you buy it from Amazon.
So do I recommend this book? I think I'd have to say yes, with reservations. First off, if you don't know SQL, learn the basics of that first or you'll be fairly lost. Second, expect to spend an hour making corrections from the errata site, unless you're familiar with with the basic concepts and SQL Server to avoid getting confused when you hit one of the errors. Third, tear out the study guide at the front and throw it away, then look up instructions online for how to get SQL Server up and running if it isn't already. Once you've done that, I think you can get your money's worth out of this book.

A couple suggestions I think would be nice would be the incorporation of custom shapes. As we all know curves soften edges etc. So far this program doesn't really allow you to make an inverted curve or a curved pathway for instance. It could incorporate tabs possibly similar to a program called "chief architect" to use curves or other features. It basically allows you to open a tab to turn on a cad type ability.
Another idea is to allow the user to put in other features more oriented to a floral garden or landscaping such as raised beds, bushes, water features and fencing to name a few. After all this is for planning a garden as well as monitoring it.
I have been trying to design a garden that is a basic rectangle with curves incorporated, raised beds, paths, a water feature, sitting area with arbor and garden shed. This design incorporates a bit of every type of plant as well from fruit trees to vegetables to flowers and shrubs. SO in order to do this it is very dificult with this program as it is right now.

Franklin County first operated a poor house in Malone in 1830, when the county supervisors rented a small farm. The next year they appropriated $2000 to purchase a building, which burned in 1845 and was rebuilt. The county replaced this smaller wood structure with a large brick and stone poorhouse 2 miles west of the center of the village, which collapsed after years of disuse in 2002. Many readers will remember it as the "old county home."
Franklin County statistics from 1823 from the NYS Annual Report of the State Board of Charities For the Year 1900:
click to enlarge
From the January 9, 1857 NY State Senate Report of Select Committee appointed to visit Charitable Institutions supported by the State, No.8:
"This house is located about two miles from the village of Malone. The building is of wood, poorly constructed, and illy fitted for its present uses. It was originally a farm house, and in size 80 x 24 feet, two stories high. There is attached a farm of 110 acres, yielding a revenue of $1,500. The basements of the building are occupied for domestic purposes only. In the house are eighteen rooms or wards, well warmed by stoves, but without ventilation. From one to eight paupers are placed in a single room. The number of inmates was thirty-eight, fifteen males and twenty-three females. Of these twenty-eight are foreign, ten native born; nine are under sixteen years of age. The sexes are separated at night, but mingle together during the day. The average number of inmates is forty-eight, supported at an expense of thirty-one cents per week each, exclusive of the products of the farm. The paupers are employed, the men on the farm, the women about the house. It has been visited once during the year by the board of supervisors. They regulate the government of the house and the system of diet. The food of the paupers is of a plain and wholesome quality. The house is supplied with Bibles, but there is no regular religious instruction. A teacher of the common English branches was employed in the house for three months during last winter, but the children usually attend the district school. A physician is employed by the year at $28, and comes only when called. There are no facilities for bathing. One birth and two deaths have occurred during the last year. No contagious diseases have raged. Of the inmates seven are lunatics, three males and four females, all paupers, none are reported improved or cured. But one is constantly confined, and he in a cell. They are restrained by confinement, and sometimes handcuffs, shackles, and the straight jacket are used. Two have been admitted within the year. They receive no medical or other attendance, nor does the house permit classification. The superintendents usually discharge the insane; sometimes the power is exercised by the keeper. Two of the paupers are blind, four idiots--two male, two female. The keeper reports nine-tenths of the paupers as here by reason of intemperance and its effects. There is here a poor cripple, almost idiotic, whose limbs are drawn up and under him in strange contortions, and his tongue paralyzed by the disease. He can wear no garments but a loose shirt. The unnatural parents were committed to prison, and the child sent to this house. The hospital department of the house is wretched, and the nursing and medical attendance inadequate. The general appearance of the establishment however is good, and the rooms are particularly neat and clean."
From the 1901 Meigs & Hadley insurance agents policy book (Franklin County Historical & Museum Society collection, 1975.60):
From the 1870 NYS Code relating to the Poor, p.127:
The April 13, 1879 New York Times reprinted a short article from the Penn Monthly quoting facts from a report of the horrific conditions under which the insane in NYS poorhouses suffered. The writer colorfully introduced the subject thusly:
"Since the days that the curse of slavery was wiped off the land, no subject so full of horrors was ever afforded to human pen. There is no standard of misery by thich this can be measured. The wretchedness of these poor creatures seems a realization of a Dantesque ideal."The most mild of the poorhouses listed, "in Franklin County, two or three sleep on straw without other bedding. In the day-time the sexes mix as they please. They have no change of undergarments."
However, the 1/10/1925 Adirondack News reported favorable aspects of the recent NYS Board of Charities inspectors' report:
"A significant feature of the report is that recent admissions have been confined to old and decrepit persons, and that the younger type of alcoholics is no longer present. It says: 'Administrative conditions as to cleanliness and care of inmates are excellent. The institution has a home-like atmosphere. The relation of employees to inmates seems considerate, reflecting well-regulated local supervision.'"____________
