The increased awareness of environmental sustainability has spread throughout nearly every aspect of life and business, including one of the most impactful environmental and economic areas of many communities: golf courses.
Locally, Lawrence Country Club has taken several steps to improve their environmental impact while also lowering costs.
Bill Irving, golf course superintendent of Lawrence Country Club, says when the course was renovated in 2005-06, the course management took many steps toward environmental sustainability.
"We look at environmental sustainability and the environmental impact we have — especially in a town like Lawrence where it's very progressive and environmentally conscious — that we are very conscious of what we do and how we impact everything, especially the environment," he says.
He says he picked specific types of grasses that would require less chemical treatment and water and also built a 3 1/2 acre retention pond that catches runoff from surrounding areas. This water can then be used in the irrigation system to water the course.
Irving has also changed input techniques over the past several years to save costs and promote sustainability. He has set guidelines of when to use water and chemical treatments.
"We have some set thresholds, and we won't spray until we feel like we've exceeded those thresholds," he says.
Irving said he has only used the irrigation system twice that he can remember this year and watering only accounted for just more than 2 percent of the budget last year.
While the drop-off in watering affects the appearance of the course, Irving says the course is in better shape and plays better for the members.
"I really think that by watching how we use water and not over-watering by actually under-watering most of our in-play areas, we have a better golf course from the player's perspective and for me that counts for everything," he says.
Irving also said he and the staff at LCC have taken several steps forward in the area of energy conservation. The course uses all electric golf carts, which are charged during non-peak hours to lessen their strain on the system. Irving also says he is investigating the prospects of using solar panels to power the golf carts.
Irving says he and the staff are also making minor adjustments
to their energy habits, including keeping the temperature a few degrees higher during the summer and turning of lights when not needed.
"In my maintenance facility we used to leave all the lights on all the time, " he says. Now we're turning toward the mentality, 'Hey shut the lights off; we don't need it.'"
Irving is also a member of Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, which supports the Environmental Institute of Golf — a philanthropic organization to better the environmental effects of golf courses.
Though the organization is centered Lawrence, it partners with courses and other organizations all across the country and world, including the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA).
Greg Lyman, director of environmental programs for Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, says the principles of sustainability and golf courses go hand in hand.
"We feel that sustainability addresses three primary elements: people planet and profit — and while that is the basic concept of sustainability, we also feel the values of golf are lined in the same way," Lyman says.
The institute focuses on three areas of sustainability: water conservation, water quality protection and energy conservation.
Lyman says better technology, better predictive procedures in watering systems and use of recycled water have all contributed to more effective water conservation. Water quality has improved greatly also because of the use of more robust plants that require less chemicals and water and the prudence of superintendents like Irving all across the country.
While energy conservation has been less of a concern for golf courses in the past, Lyman says courses are beginning the make numerous steps in the right direction. From switching to electric maintenance equipment and carts, evaluating mowing paths to reduce fuel usage, and even using solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells and propane to power equipment instead of gasoline.
"Where I think that we will see growth in the future on golf courses is not only in energy conservation but also in the area of energy generation on golf courses because these can be valuable green spaces within urban areas."
Lyman says many of the energy conservation technologies mentioned above may emerge on golf courses more quickly because golf courses have a central place to fuel carts and equipment, measurable distances by which carts are traveling and access to potentially large water, solar and wind supplies.
"We think that golf has a good story to tell, and we feel that golf courses are environmental, economic and recreational or social assets to their communities and we look forward to progress being made each and every day on golf courses," Lyman says.

UnSharp Masking (USM) capture sharpening is somewhat equivalent to taking a black/white marker and drawing along every transition in the picture to make it stand out more – automatically. Line thickness and darkness is chosen arbitrarily to achieve the desired effect, much like painters do.
One way to look at USM is to imagine coming across one such simplified transition in an image, say a sharp edge from black to white (your choice of the horizontal or vertical ones below)
and plotting its profile as if you were crossing it perpendicularly. The plot of the relative brightness (Luminance) profile might look something like this (0 signal is black, 1 is white, from an actual Edge Spread Function):
The painter/photographer looks at the result and then says to herself:"Hmm, that's one fuzzy edge. It takes what looks like the distance of 6 pixels to go from black to white. Surely I can make it look sharper than that. Maybe I can arbitrarily squeeze its ends together so that it fits in fewer pixels". She takes out her tool (USM/marker), dials in darkness 1, thickness 1 and redraws the transition to pleasure:
Now the transition fits in a space of less than two pixels. "Alright, that looks more like it" she says contentedly and moves on to the next transition.
The only problem with this approach to capture sharpening is that it has (very little if) nothing to do with the reality of the scene. It is completely perceptual, arbitrary and destructive . It is not reversible. We can make the slope of the transition (acutance!) as steep as we like simply by choosing more or less aggressive parameters. MTFs shoot through the roof beyond what's physically possible, actual scene information need not apply. Might as well draw the transition in with a thick marker.
Nothing inherently wrong with it: the USM approach is perfectly fine and quite useful in many cases, especially where creative or output sharpening are concerned. But as far as capture sharpening goes, upon closer scrutiny USM always disappoints (at least this humble observer) because the arbitrariness and artificiality of it show up in all of their glory as you can clearly see above: halos (overshoots, undershoots), ringing, pixels boldly going where they were never meant to go – where is the center of the transition now?
So what is the judicious pixel peeper supposed to do in order to restore a modicum of pre-capture sharpness?
Well, contrary to USM's approach one could start with scene information first. If the aggregate edge profile in the raw data looks like that, and such and such an aperture produces this type of blur, and the pixels were this shape and size and the AA was this strong and of this type, the lens bends and blurs light that way on the image around the area of the transition – perhaps we can model and attempt to undo some of the blurring introduced by each of these components of our camera/lens system, taking a good stab at reconstructing what the edge actually looked like before it was blurred by them.
The process by which we attempt to undo one by one the blurring introduced by each of these components is called deconvolution.
Deconvolution math is easier performed in the frequency domain because there it involves mainly simple (err, complex) division/multiplication. If one can approximately model and characterize the effect of each component in the frequency domain, one can in theory undo blurring introduced by it – with many limits, mostly imposed by imperfect modeling, complicated 2D variations in parameters and (especially) noise combined with insufficient energy at higher frequencies. In general photography you can undo some of it well, some of it approximately, some of it not at all. This is what characterization in the frequency domain looks like for the simplest components to model:
Note how in this case the various modeled blurring components (dashed lines) multiply out to a pretty good match of the overall measured actual performance (solid lines).
Deconvolution can also be performed in the spatial domain by applying discrete kernels to the image – but they typically require much larger amounts of computing power. Either way deconvolution results as far as capture sharpening is concerned are much more appealing to the eye of this pixel peeper than the rougher, arbitrary alternative of USM. And the bonus is that deconvolution is by and large reversible and not as destructive. USM can always and subsequently be added later in moderation to specific effect if required.
In a nutshell: USM is a meat cleaver handled by an artistic butcher. Deconvolution is a scalpel wielded by a careful photographic surgeon. There is little room for USM in capture sharpening – meaning use it only when absolutely needed and even then in strict moderation.

I really enjoy this beverage and really love that its low calorie seeing as mixed cocktails can be really high in calories. Its a bit sweet but I like that in a cooler. It's absolutely perfect over ice during the summer months! I highly recommend you try it out.
I was happy to see that Bacardi had put out a low calorie version of their Bacardi Breezer line.
I picked a couple up in Tropical Orange Smoothie flavor as I've always like the full calorie Orange Smoothie that they make.
This cooler, however, is absolutely terrible.
It's probably the first time in my life where I couldn't even finish a cooler.
It has a very artificial taste and feels as if you are drinking an orange flavored medicine.
I wouldn't recommend this cooler to anybody. It certainly doesn't taste like an Orange Smoothie.
It doesn't even taste edible, in my opinion.
I would strongly advise against trying this cooler.

We All LOVE the Water…
An Inviting Ocean
And it's true, we have no pool at the Mission. But that is far from the end of the story, if you love being outside, in the water.
We are just a stone's throw from Biscayne Bay and from the Atlantic Ocean, as well as a number of perfectly fine (and in some cases absolutely magnificent!) swimming pools. So if you love the idea of refreshing yourself in cool clean water and basking in the Florida sunshine, you should definitely be aware of these options. (I must note that as a boy growing up in Miami, my closest friends and I spent much of our time in the water, yet only a fraction of that in pools. So pools were a special thing for us. We all learned to swim at the local Shenandoah Pool, in fact, one that is only blocks from the Mission and quite wonderful.
Shenandoah Pool, 1805 SW 22nd Ave, Miami, FL 33145
Tel. : (305) 856-9549
Several of our guests have enjoyed that pool, finding it quite nice, generally uncrowded, and only blocks from the Mission (1.1 miles or 3 minutes, according to Google maps). Admission will set you back $1.00!
On a grander (and suitably more expensive) scale is the truly legendary Venetian Pool in Coral Gables, which has provided a thrilling and delightful adventure to children young and old, for generations.
This extraordinary man-made, spring-fed watering hole offers an experience I cannot recommend highly enough, for children of all ages. Take a look at their web site: http://www.coralgablesvenetianpool.com/
Biscayne Morning Paul Hampton Crockett
All that being said, it seems that most of our time growing up was spent in the water, and pool time was a rare novelty. We passed our swimming time mostly in open salt water, most usually our beloved Biscayne Bay.
We will always look back on those days, our home base a deluxe tree-house in the mangrove forest abutting Villa Vizcaya. We paddled around on homemade rafts in open water, and explored winding coves so lush and green we could easily imagine that we'd somehow been transported to the Amazon. We were often joined by the peaceful manatees, who'd swim alongside. Such quiet moments, under big open sky, will remain sweet in our memories (as so wonderfully expressed by my beloved teacher and friend Jane Reno) "for as long as we are able to remember beauty."
Think about it: aren't such scenic journeys much more what the "dream of Florida" are all about than any thing or place made by the hand of Man? Take a step beyond the "hotel pool" or its generic equivalents, I dare you! You will be glad that you did. In any event, you'll take home with you an experience worth really remembering.
The places listed below offer some of the most beautiful vistas in the city, if not the State, and really should not be missed. They often serve to remind me of the much more quiet and beautiful soul underlying this crazed city! Each is easily worth a trip for its own sake. The locations can be "plugged" in to the Google map linked to the Mission:
to get an exact "visual" on location, distance, and route. Alternatively, just type "beaches" in the "Search nearby" field, and take your pick!
Go on: get sand between your toes! You never know; you might catch a glorious sunset, find the most delicious hot dog you've ever bought from a seaside hot dog stand (OK, for that one, you gotta be hungry! : ) ), or see real live birds soaring overhead that you might have seen before only frozen flat in picture books.
Personally, "you never know" is exactly the way I like to take my adventures.
BEACHES. These are all excellent and generally very safe places to head out with your beach towels and… whatever:
Hobie Island Beach Park, Key Biscayne 2.8 Mi.
Biscayne Day! Paul Hampton Crockett
Virginia Key Beach, Key Biscayne 4.2 Mi.
Crandon Park Beach, Key Biscayne 7.2 Mi.

Lummus Park, Miami Beach (South Beach) 6.0 Mi.

As you probably already know I am currently on a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi with my sister. I will tell you more about our vacation later, in the meantime see all my photos on Instagram. I love travelling the world and discovering new places and cultures. I remember when I was younger, I used to dress up for the plane ride. When I said dress up, I mean nice dress, heels and everything like I was a celebrity. I hope you caught the sarcasm, because no one can dress like those celebrities with high knee boots and heels coming from the airport like they're shooting a movie. I can't say I do not envy them , but that is just not real life.
I guess to be fair to myself, travel was more of a luxury back then. As you can see in the pictures below and above, things have changed much since then. My best travel outfit formula these days equals simple + casual + comfort, in other words, finding the perfect balance between comfort and stylish. This is not to say that I do not appreciate a beautiful woman or handsome man dressed to impress at the airport. This is the outfit I wore to my almost 24 hours trip to Dubai.
The next time you're jet setting, here are 5 things to keep in mind while putting your airport outfit together.
Go for a comfy pair of flats, slip-ons, sneakers and warm socks
When I think about long lines, security checks, pushing carry-ons, dealing with customs or running after my kids, the last thing on my mind is a pair of heels while i am at the airport. Most international airports are like small cities. Walking from one end to the other is no easy task. Flats, sneakers and slip-ons are easy to remove at the airport security and will make your walk feel like a breeze. If you're like me and like taking your shoes off in-flight, these are the best socks for travel. They keep your feet warm in the plane especially during long hauls. Please don't be caught going around bare feet in the airport or plane. Think about the amount of shoes that pass by that place every day. Here are some great shoe options for travelling
|For top left to bottom right: One | Two | Three | Four
keep your tops classic and oversized
When traveling, I always keep the destination city's weather and culture in mind. Button shirts are easy to remove or layer. For instance, it was cold when I left Toronto and very hot when I arrived to Dubai. This oversized light denim shirt kept me comfy the whole time. It was also easy to remove upon my arrival to Dubai.
|One | Two | Three |
Extra Layer is a must:
I like the idea of keeping a long sleeve cardigan or denim jacket in my carry-on along with a change of shirt in case of a spill. It can get quite cold in the plane at times.
Leggings are your best friends while travelling:
I get it, not everyone like to wear leggings. I think they are ok as long as you cover your bum. Your shirt should always cover your bum, because leggings are not pants. Find a bunch of options here
Get yourself a good travel bag:
I personally love my Longchamp Pliage tote. It's one of the best travel bags in the market. It's simple and very solid. I've owned mine for years now and it's still going strong. You can pretty much throw everything in there. I carry a lot of things around and this bag has never failed me. You can choose between 11 colors.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I am actually getting ready to go on a desert safari tour in a few minutes. If you enjoyed this " What to wear to the airport post" make sure to leave me a comment below.

Download the audio version of today's Dollop here
If you listened to yesterday's Dollop including the phone conversation with my friend about plumbs, I want to point out that I don't normally record my phone conversations and archive them, the recording only existed because I was recording the Dollop when she called. I don't record every conversation I have just in case it comes in handy for a Dollop. If I did do that then it would be a bit tragic that in the space of 240 days, I have only deemed a single three minute conversation about plumbs worthy of inclusion in these Dollops, although, let's be honest, it was a quality three minutes.
Most of the time I am not recording, including right now, unless you're listening to the audio version in which case obviously I am recording, but only the sound of my own voice reading this out, which doesn't count. What I mean is that I'm not recording what is going on as I write this Dollop, which is a discussion about van insurance. I am in The Young'uns van, and we need to renew the insurance in a couple of weeks. Sorry, I've reeled you in and got you all interested, haven't I? But alas, you shall never get to hear the conversation, because I'm not recording it. Anyway, I won't cruelly keep you in suspense any longer; we are going to renew it with the same insurance company we're currently using. You can rest easy now.
Tomorrow we play Towersey Festival. I am looking forward to finding out whether they published my contribution to their festival programme. If you remember from Dollop 188 a couple of months ago (what am I saying? of course you remember) I was asked by the person putting the written programme together for Towersey festival to write something "quirky" for the programme. So I wrote them a very lengthy and elaborate pun laden joke about computer fonts, which I included in Dollop 188. For some unfathomable reason, I did not receive an email back from them. If they haven't included it in the programme, then I have a good mind to get my own back on the festival by taking up a considerable amount of our performance delivering an extra long version of the joke. If, for some incomprehensible reason, the font routine fails to get the hysterical reaction it warrants, then I can just read out Ben's text about plumbs on top of the fridge which seems to be a sure-fire hit.
Last week, I received another unusual request from a folk festival. The person responsible for compiling the written programme for Bromyard festival emailed some questions for me to answer. Normally, questions are along the lines of "how did you meet?" "How did you get into folk music?" questions about our festival appearance, upcoming tour or album, or they try to be quirky, "if you could be any animal, what animal would you be?" although they don't like it when I out-quirk them with a lengthy and elaborate joke about computer fonts. I'm coming to you, Towersey festival, and there will be repercussions if my amazing font joke isn't in your programme.
The person compiling the programme for Bromyard festival however has managed to enter uncharted territory with his line of questioning. Although he's putting his questions to The Young'uns, I don't think he's particularly bothered about us; I think he'd much rather be interviewing Mumford And Sons. Here are the list of questions he's sent me to answer for the programme.
1. Between 2012-14, the likes of Mumford and Sons brought folk stylings right into the middle of popular culture. Why do you think that this happened, and what was the impression among traditional folk musicians and fans?
2. Do you like the Mumfords?
3. Did you notice a change in the people who were interested in your music, due to the rise of the Mumfords?
4. The mumfords seemed to assume the role of pop/rock poster boys during that period on both sides of the Atlantic. Their 2015 follow-up seemed to fall flat, but pop music seemed to have moved on as quickly as it had adopted them and pop folk. Why do you think this happened? And why do you think it happened so quickly?
5. Do you look back on that time as a period that you miss? Or one that was always destined to come and go?
6. What has that brief window of popularity had on the folk scene?
7. If you could be any animal, what animal would you be?
Obviously that last question wasn't genuine; it was yet another example of my amazing comedy skills. Their last question was actually: "what's next for folk music?"
I don't know who this person thinks I am. It's as if he really wanted to get an interview with Mumford and Sons but wasn't able to, so he just asked us the Mumford and Sons' questions instead.
Or it's as if he thinks I'm some kind of musicologist or cultural soothsayer, asking such broad questions as "what's next for folk music." He also seems to be under the impression that I owe my folk music career to Mumford and Sons, as it's clearly thanks to them that I have an audience.
He also seems to imagine that me, and all the other folk artists on the scene, all look back wistfully at 2012 to 2014, nostalgically remembering those glory years of folk, where we all got helicoptered into gigs, and every folk artist had at least three groupies each every gig; before the Mumfords, we generally had to settle with just one groupy a night. But, even while we were in the middle of it all – eating caviar, having sex with beautiful fans who, let's face it, only slept with us because they thought it might bring them closer to Mr Mumford or one of his sexy sons – we knew that it could never last. When we heard the Mumfords follow-up album, we knew the fun was over. The fans began to lose interest in the Mumfords and consequently us, the caviar ran out, the helicopters stopped coming and we had to go back to travel around in vans,, and we were back where we started, playing to old men with beards once again. Oh, how we yearn for those years.
Something tells me that I'm probably not going to be in the Bromyard festival programme either.

Boehner commits to '10-year balanced budget'
Speaker John Boehner told House Republicans this afternoon that the GOP's upcoming budget will balance the federal books in a decade.
Due to the Democrats' control of the White House and Senate, the possibility of that promise becoming law is remote. But the speaker's vocal support for the idea reportedly drew cheers within the House Republican conference.

Tangible proof that we are here. Washington Grove. Images that you can see and understand. Tessa and I standing.
"Woman and Dog Walking." Makes a good title for a blog post, doesn't it?
Tessa gets to air-sniff and I get to watch her do that. Neither of us can see what she takes in through her nose. But, we both understand that all of those unseen "things" are real.
Ahead of us, the path beckons. Something else that we can see. Be sure of.
What we can't see, what we don't yet know, is what we'll find along the path. Up there. Around the bend.
Out of sight.
I'm pretty sure there will be more trees, more light and Something That Might Be More. Because, standing here and looking over to the left side of THIS path, I can sense something ethereal.
Something that invites me to suspend my belief in the ordinary. To believe in the things that we don't always see.
But, if there is just more of the same, more trees, more light and more enticing smells for Tessa, that will be okay.
Because more of the same lets me watch Tessa. And, some days, that's all you need. [gplus count="true" size="Medium" ]

Arahau [ara'xaŭ] is an a priori constructed language created by Russian writer Ivan Karasev in 2006.
The Arahau language is polysynthetic and typologically active. This is unlike most artificial languages. Each vowel designates a noun, and consonants designate grammatical formants. This system often lets Arahau produce compact speech. Arahau has been found to have similarities with Basque and Nakh-Dagestanian languages.
Arahau is a minimal language. It has 26 phonemes (not including diphthongs and triphthongs) and about 100 main root words. Grammar is minimally inflected. The valency of a verb and word order determine case, because it is an active-stative language. Auxiliary formants mark constructions such as questions, negative polarity, and grammatical aspects. Arahau has a system of noun classes. They are marked by vowels (a – the humans, u – the animals, i – the plants, o – the names etc.).
Arahau is inspired by natural philosophy and dualism. There are only two grammatical genders, tenses (real and irreal), grammatical numbers, personal pronouns (near and far), grammatical cases (translative case and possessive), parts of speech (the verb and the noun) etc.
Arahau uses only the Subject Verb Object (SVO) word order.
The alphabet and reading
Each letter corresponds to one phoneme (one precise sound). Pronunciation does not depend on a letter's position in a word. In particular, consonants at the end of a word are never silenced, and vowels do not change. The accent in words varies and falls, as a rule, on a root verb.
The pronunciation of practically all letters can be assumed without special preparation (M, N, K, etc.) The pronunciation of others is significant:
Arahau uses double consonants (geminates), even at the beginning of a word. The structure of words is not uniform: There can be congestions of consonants, both in the beginning, and in the end. The usual construction of a word that consists of a maximal cluster is сссVссс.
Lord's Prayer
Ëttange msuohusoer
Design principlesEach vocalic sound designates a noun, and consonants designate grammatic formants. The construction of language allows it to reduce a stream of speech sometimes. The Arahau language is generated by a polysynthetic principle, and the language is typologically active, unlike the majority of artificial languages.
Language belongs to not numerous groups of linguistic models of active typology. Each letter of language Arahau bears semantic loading, and behind vowels the dominating role admits, and consonants are grammatical formants. Therefore all words in Arahau are etymologically transparent. Categories of a case and tense in classical understanding are absent. The specific design of a new language allows reducing essentially length of words (Speed think). One word of language Arahau due to incorporation can transfer the whole sentence: t-fra-s — I see you (the reference to the person), ro-s-fru-k? — Do you see yourself? (The reference to an animal), Ma-c-af-us-hod-g-argei - the Life and Death are two halves of the whole.
In the alphabet Arahau only 27 letters (ё – soft "e" and y – "dark i" are facultative as transfer categories of politeness and roughness). Drё – aroma, dry - fetidity. The system consonantism is very simple and characteristic absence hissing sounds. The vocalic system includes vowels back of some as in Finnish, and also ё (more softly then e), y (postlingualis sound), and also 10 simple diphthongs, 10 long diphthongs (triphthongs).
The most specific formants language Arahau - pronouns (the third person is absent) to which the important role drops out - to mark the beginning (an active pronoun) and the end (an inactive pronoun) words. Pronouns are capable to mark quantity of participants of action and gender characteristics: ta – I, taaj – we (women), tacaaj – we (the man and two women). In this case complex pronouns can be transcribed by specific consonants: ɕ, ʂ, ʐ, ʑ, ʥ, ʨ, ʧ, zz... For example: taj-anr-ajs [ʨanɾasj] – I (woman) speak you (woman).
In Arahau there is the unique opportunity which is not meeting in other linguistic systems. It is a question of the specific "irreal" pronouns suitable in basic for the folklore texts. For example, it is possible to tell not only sa – you (man), si – you (tree), but also saof – you (extinct fire). Besides can be used exclusive and inclusive pronouns: taba – I with you, tabla – I without you.
10 long diphthongs (triphthongs) serving for formation of plural:
And four labial diphthongs which are facultative and serve for specification of sense:
Dictionary structure
Plural is formed by doubling of a vowel: аа – people, aaj –women. If it is a question of words where there are diphthongs in plural they will be transformed to triphthongs (it is added u-): ое – a bone, uое – bones. Adjectives as an independent part of speech in Arahau are not allocated. It is possible to speak, however, about «adjectives cases» –affixes: ad – the small man, az – the big man, af – the dead man, nunu – a sleepy animal...
There is binary (pair), and even the figurative number used infrequently. A marker of this category h-: haj – two women, haaj – three women. And also for pair things –'horns' hucr, 'brothers' hara. Plural of higher order is less often used: haca - 'four', haaca - 'five', hacaa - 'six' it can be characterized and the combinatory number uniting different gender categories: taaj – they women, tacaj – they the man and the woman. And can be united not only people: tacij – they (the man and a grass).
There are two kinds of negation– direct (l it is written before formant of negation: Lous! –"It is not necessary"; ltanras cags "It is not I have told him about you"; tlanras cags "I have not told him about you"; tanrals cags "I not to it have told about you"; tanras clags "I have told him not about you") and logic (l it is written to postpositions: al – inanimate object> a thing; alza – the nature).
As well as in English, in Arahau there is an interdiction of double negation lokfrás (literally "Anybody will see you").
Negation together with "game by vowels" – rather productive way of word-formation: lard – legless, lürd – stagnation, lord – leglessness, lurd – padless.
Gradation of vital force
Connection formants changes «vital force» of a noun: af – the deadman, a mummy, a skeleton, am – the young man, ma – the alive man, an – elder, na – mobile, vigorous. Moreover, a method of reduplication is possible to achieve more thin adjustments: ana – costing (anar – a stop), nana – sleeping (nanar – a dream), anan – sitting (ananor – a throne), nan – to yawn, a pharynx, chaos. By inclusions of function of negation can be developed a theme further away: mal – involuntary (malor – the prison), nal – free, nala – new, anal – to lay.
Changing a vowel (vocal sound), it is possible to achieve generation of sense: if is 'a hand-made article', in 'a dry trees', mi 'runaway', ni 'sprout'...
Other formations: aimail – 'a rockfall', but compare amalgardei (amardeil) 'a meteoric shower', fanan –'a boardroom', amum 'the man goes on an animal'> 'the rider', mumu 'running herd', umum 'a horse', nini 'winter', amu 'the man flies in the plane'> 'to fly by plane', gama 'the plane', Hana! 'stop!' ünü 'a bog', mümü 'a flood', Mümüz 'the Great flood ' Hunub! 'No admittans with animals', mamakfor 'running on the spot'.
The category of the man is made out by prefixes sas (you think/ he thinks), tas (I think). Instead of linear temporal concept of Indo-European languages (yesterday-today-tomorrow) in Arahau presented the radial model of Tense (now and possibly) which varies from two corners of sight, or aspects (duration-prescription and frequency-speed). The similar concept is in the African languages of family Akan. Irreal tense is marked by acute: tás (like would think and I shall think, may be). Aspects (specific characteristics) are designated by infixes -n-, -j-, -m-. There are centrifugal and centripetal versions of verbs.
The aspects:
1 – means of pronouns;
Numerals are based on somatic subclasses. Multiples of five carry the name arf "the left hand" (ten), ard "the right hand" (five), rka "the left leg" (twenty), rza "the right leg" (fifteen), and also some other parts of a body, as in some Papuan and Tongan languages. The system of counting up to 10 is five-base (quinary), and after 20 it's vigesimal. The separate names have numeratives 21 (rpa) and 22 (rpaj), meaning taboo parts of a body. 100 - ar (mankind, weights), 1000 urs - (genesis), 10000 - raj (uncertain etymology), az - million (mister), azei - one million (giant). Zaharg - billion, zahac - quadrillion, zard - pentillion.

Honda has teamed up with Microsoft to spread some much-needed Christmas spirit to a number of sick kids and teenagers at the Children's Hospital of Orange County in California.
Using Microsoft's Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, Honda was able to create a virtual sleigh ride down a street bathed with festive Christmas lights, snow and fireworks.
The children at the hospital were then able to experience the kind gesture from inside the hospital, the reactions to which can be viewed below.
It may have only been a small deed from a huge corporation but it made the kids smile and helped spread some Christmas cheer. That's all that matters, right?

Live Action Suggestions?
Not really sure if this post really belongs here as what I'm asking about isn't really anime, so if it should really belong to another forum, mods, please feel free to drop it in an appropriate forum.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some good live action Japanese movies and/or series? No real specifics on genres, though I have to confess to being a total sucker for samurai and yakuza flicks (usually anyway).
I've seen quite a few Japanese movies, most notably every single Kurosawa movie ever made (except for Only The Bad Sleep Well which I can't find anywhere), as well as a buttload of Takeshi Kitano's movies, as well as several that I can only classify as being unique to Japanese film (ie. Full Metal Gokudo, Ichi the Killer, Tetsuo the Ironman, etc.). Too many to actually list off really.
What I'm mostly interested in at the moment is not so much "slice of life" types of movies (though those are good too) but rather movies that illustrate Japanese culture (either past and/or present). Not necessarily as the primary focus of the movie, but as an element within it. Movies like Lost In Translation (while not technically a Japanese movie) are a good example of what I'm talking about I suppose.
Anyway, any recommendations would be muchly appreciated, and hopefully spark some interesting discussion at the same time

For live series this is a good place to go: http://drama.afraid.org/japan-tv/main.html .
I've watched pretty most all the Japanese ones so far and they have been pretty good.
I don't know if they are really what you are looking for, as they are TV dramas, mostly of the romantic/comedy with a problem thrown in.
But the series synopses page is pretty good for descriptions.

So what do you recommend among those titles?

Watakushi wa heiki desu!
Well... "Long Vacation", "Beautiful Life", and "Summer Snow" are probably my favorites of what I have watched so far. And then "Good Luck" and "Young Father". "Bus Stop" looks pretty good but is only to the second EP..
All are modern day Tokyo set stories, so there really is nothing overtly cultural to them, but there are still cultural nuances to be seen in them. Like in "Beautiful Life" the way someone handicapped is viewed is kind of covered.
Oh, and I just finished GTO, it is also pretty good. Very funny this one was taken from the manga and anime of the same name, which I havent seen, so Im not sure how it compares to them.
I think that "Long Vacation" is my favorite, probably because I like the lead female character though, so that might be a little slanted.
You might also want to check out this topic where J-dramas were discussed: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...8&page=1&pp=30

I guess when I say cultural, I'm not really speaking distinctly cultural or necessarily talking about major differences that stand out. It's more things like what they eat for breakfast, or the fact that most households go shopping daily for food rather than buying food for a week or two at a time as we do in Western cultures. Things along those lines. As well as the big stuff too

Watakushi wa heiki desu!
Juzo Itami's movies are pretty good too. (Tampopo, The Funeral, A Taxing Woman are some of his)
A relatively recent one I liked was "Kikujiro".
I have a really bad memory for names and titles, so I don't remember allot of them. Most ones I have seen, I got to see at Michigan State University when they have a Asian film series every fall, a very nice perk of living only a couple of miles from the campus.

I really recommend GTO Live Action it is one of the better things I have seen
Maybe thats because I enjoy seeing live Japanese people, and the show evolves a bit more in the end, the first episode maybe wasn't all that good but the rest are just awesome. Give it a try!

Dad Got A Very Unusual Prescription For His 2-Year-Old, Now Other Parents Are Asking For It Too
by FaithTap Staff 11/9/2015
We've all been there...up all night and curled into a ball under the covers, because those scary monsters under the bed might nip off your big toe if you let it dangle too long. Whether you're a small tot or a big-kid-at-heart, we all need something a little bit magical to help us get a good night's sleep. Or at least give us enough time to jump-run to the bathroom before pole vaulting back into bed!
Prescription Strength Monster Spray
When his daughter Mya was so afraid of monsters that she couldn't get to sleep at night, this crafty dad from British Columbia got a prescription from the pharmacy to rid the room of the pesky creatures for good! Or at least make them drowsy enough so that animal control could take them away.
Industrial Strength Monster Spray
Wow, this heavy duty stuff is good for dousing at least 120 monsters! Plus, it comes with one refill in case they don't get the hint and decide come back.
For Wonky Eyed Creatures
As you know, not all monsters are created equal. It looks like this specialty spray might only work on monsters with skewed eyeballs. Don't worry, those cross eyed buggers won't see you coming straight at them when you blast the trigger!
Beware Of The Cute Fluffy Ones
Don't let the cute ones fool you - they are the worst! Their friendly appearance and "harmless" toothy grin trick you into thinking you're safe. But just wait until your back is turned and the real teeth come out! Or don't. Be smart and nab them first!
Ghosts Vs. Monsters
Is it a ghost? Or a monster? Maybe a ghost-monster? If it flits around too fast and you can't tell what the room is infested with, you need this double-duty spray.
Jurassic Monsters
Dino-monsters just don't belong in modern times. But, there's a great smelling designer spray for that...Extinction. Careful, it's expensive - so use it sparingly.
All Purpose Go Away Spray
I'm not even sure if this is only just for monsters. Just to be safe, make sure the nozzle is pointed away from you!
Jacked Up Monster Spray
For the critter that lives on a little bit too much caffeine and won't stop pestering you. One spray of this antidote will have it snoozing in no time.
Super Dad And His Creative Monster Spray
Watch as the tables have turned and the monsters now fear the "terrible two" year old with a prescription strength elimination spray.
Monsters Are For All Ages
Whether you need to help soothe your kids or calm your own inner child, these sprays are a fun idea for getting rid of the annoying creatures in our lives. You can make your own special recipe or slap a new printable label on a can of Febreze. Keep one on your kid's bedside table, and maybe another one in your cubicle at work...just in case!

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Toledo, Ohio, alleges that SexSearch, as well as its executives and partners, committed fraud, violated Ohio consumer laws and markets children to adults for sexual purposes, among other accusations.
Plaintiff's counsel Dean Boland told XBIZ that the suit, which has 21 defendants represented by seven different law firms, could shake up the social networking industry, particularly companies that market specifically to adults.
"The whole industry is going to be rocked," said Boland, referring to the online adult business. "There is no substantial age-verification system on any of these [social networking] sites."
The man, whose name or age was not revealed in the complaint, said he was tricked into believing that the minor was in fact over the age 18 because she posted information that stated such and that SexSearch represented to him that it verifies the age of all members who use their site.
More than a month after having consensual intercourse with the minor at her home, the man was arrested and charged with a variety of charges of unlawful conduct with a minor, the complaint said. His criminal trial, where he could face up to 15 years in prison, has not yet commenced.
The 14-year-old minor, whose profile was active on SexSearch until it was removed by her parents, included her photo on the site, as well as listings that said she was looking for a "1 on 1 sexual encounter" and that her ideal match included her interest in a male "who can last for a long time."
The suit's long list of defendants include some well-known adult industry brand names in addition to SexSearch, including Playboy, Jenna Jameson, Club Jenna, Moniker Online Services, Manic Media and Stallion.com.
Also listed as defendants are SexSearch executives Ed Kunkel, Damian Cross and Adam Small, as well as SexSearch hosting company ExperiencedInternet.com.
Counsel for some of the defendants say, however, that the case is frivolous and without merit.
"My clients vigorously deny these claims and expect to prevail in court over these bogus charges," attorney Michael D. Dortch told XBIZ.
Dortch, a Columbus, Ohio, attorney who represents seven of the defendants, including Kunkel and Small, would not further comment on the matter.
Los Angeles-based attorney Gary J. Kaufman, who represents hosting company ExperiencedInternet.com, told XBIZ that he too believes the complaint is unworthy.
"It's clearly the case of a creative attorney who is trying to deflect blame from a client who faces a lot of years in jail," Kaufman said. "We're trying to bring this to a speedy conclusion."
Boland, who represents the John Doe plaintiff, however disputes that the case is frivolous and that SexSearch had a duty to filter out participation with minors.
"When a person signs up for SexSearch, they are promised that they are dealing with an all-adult community," Boland said. "There is a promise that everyone is 18. This is not eHarmony.
"Credit cards are not suitable to verify age," said Boland, who is a noted child-porn defense attorney and digital images expert in Ohio.
The SexSearch complaint said that the minor, who is named as a Jane Roe in the filing, was allowed to access much of the site's services, including a fetish room.
It also attempts to tie the company's marketing efforts to individuals who want to gain access to teens. The complaint said the defendants operate sites such as Devirginized.com, FreenTender.com, YoungnTender.com, Orgasm.com, FreeTeenSlits.com and RawNudeTeens.com, among others.
Hollywood, Calif.-based SexSearch, on its website, claims more than 10 million members advertises it delivers "real people, real sex" on a geo-targeted basis.
The site has three levels of membership and charges up to $29.95 per month. Depending on the level, members can create profiles, upload pictures and video content, as well as access advanced search options and view online adult content.
The plaintiff has asked for unspecified and punitive damages in the suit, which was filed last month.
His attorney, Boland, also is asking for triple damages under the state's Consumer Sales Practices Act and is seeking a restraining order to enjoin SexSearch from accepting Ohio members, as well as attorney fees.
Boland, who requested a jury in the federal case, said that the defendants may have a tough time getting a victory, particularly in Ohio.
"No jury of average intelligence in the Midwest will decide in their favor," Boland said.

"An experienced Teddy Bear brings with him a lifetime of knowledge and experience; the wisdom of silence and the stillness in moments of great turmoil. The long-suffering patience that is learned when belonging to a child who is coming of age, and coping with the bewilderment that this period of time can bring, is what he does best. The experienced bear has seen life through the heart and eyes of a child grown to adulthood and perhaps even accompanied that adult all the way to the end of the road."

When you look at the childhood of Laura Reed, and the time spent growing up both in South Africa and the rich, cultural American South, there is no wonder that this special young lady has a unique talent. She has a sultry stage presence that's only outdone by her soulful pipes.
Backed by a groove laden band, Deep Pocket, Laura and her boys churn out a great mix of R&B, soul, and straight ahead funk. Ryan Burns knows his way around the keys, offering piano, Hammond and synth to the band's sound. He is joined by Ben Didelot on bass, combining with his rhythm partner, Jimbonk behind the kit, to create a solid foundation for some backbreaking funk.
They have shared the stage with a diverse range of artists – the list includes the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Sam Bush and Ike Stubblefield – which proves there is certainly more than one dimension to their music. They seem to adapt to the musical space that surrounds them.
Laura and Deep Pocket recently put out their debut album, Soul:Music. It is great representation of the band's sound, but does not serve as a replacement for seeing the songstress and her funky boys in action. They hail from Asheville , North Carolina, but can be found touring the country, especially the Southeast.

HT reported that the social justice ministry called the practice inhuman and superstitious and said it affects human dignity and harms the health of those practising it.
The tradition is followed in southern India in states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. However, in 2011, Karnataka High Court modified the practice and said that it is open to all,irrespective of caste or religion.
"These rituals may be voluntary but since human dignity and health of concerned persons is affected and are against constitutional value of justice, equality and human dignity, they ought not to be defended under Article 25 of the Constitution of India which relates to right to freedom of religion," an affidavit by the Centre stated.

Leading Old Testament scholar Tremper Longman III provides students and pastors with expert guidance on choosing a commentary for any book of the Old Testament. The fifth edition has been updated to assess the most recently published commentaries, providing evaluative comments. Longman lists a number of works available for each book of the Old Testament, gives a brief indication of their emphases and viewpoints, and evaluates them. The result is a balanced, sensible guide for those who preach and teach the Old Testament and need help in choosing the best tools.
Praise for Previous Editions:
"If you are preparing a new sermon series and looking for advice on commentaries, you must consult . . . the Old Testament Commentary Survey. . . . [It] will help to save you lots of money in the long run."–Semper Reformanda
"This little book is an excellent aid for the study of the Old Testament. It is more than a bibliography; it is an annotated listing of many of the most important resources available in English. . . . A 'must' for any serious student of the Bible."–Dianne Bergant, CSA, The Bible Today
"Skillfully navigate[s] the dense terrain of the commentary world and offer[s] sage advice for those engaged in biblical study. . . . The format of Longman's volume is . . . user-friendly. . . . Readers will certainly be helped in making informed decisions about how best to spend both their time and money."–Mark R. Stevenson, Emmaus Journal
Tremper Longman III (PhD, Yale University) is the Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. Before coming to Westmont, he taught at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia for eighteen years. He has authored or coauthored numerous books, including An Introduction to the Old Testament, How to Read Proverbs, and commentaries on Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Jeremiah and Lamentations, and Daniel.

Cygam Updates Drilling Operations in Tunisia
Cygam Energy Inc. provided an additional update on the TT2 exploration well operated by Storm Ventures International Inc. of Calgary, on the Remada Sud Permit in Southern Tunisia.
The update included that there was potentially significant light oil and gas shows encountered in the main objective (Ordovician Bir Ben Tartar) while coring, and a good yellow fluorescence was observed in the cores. The presence of hydrocarbons was confirmed by one drill stem test which recovered light oil, gas and no water. The test was run approximately 50 meters below the top of the Bir Ben Tartar and log analysis indicates that the potential hydrocarbon column could extend up to approximately another 25 meters below the tested interval. Petrophysical analysis indicates that a secondary objective (Ordovician Jaffara formation) may also be hydrocarbon bearing. Potentially significant gas shows were also encountered while drilling through the Silurian Tanezzuft shale and sandstone sequence above the Bir Ben Tartar main objective.
The main target, the Ordovician Bir Ben Tartar formation, consisting of a massive sequence of sandstones with minor shale streaks, had potentially significant gas and oil shows while coring. Upon reaching total depth at 1,500 meters and after log evaluation, several zones of interest were identified in both the primary and secondary objectives and selected for testing.
Several open-hole drill stem tests were planned but, due to unpredictable mechanical failures, only one test was successfully completed which recovered oil and gas in the down-hole sampler, with no water. During testing operations, well-bore conditions deteriorated and the operator and its partners agreed to suspend testing and set casing to TD.
The operator is currently waiting for the arrival of stimulation equipment from outside Tunisia in order to artificially fracture and production test several zones of interest. It is expected that Schlumberger stimulation equipment should arrive on location by early July. In the meantime, the two cores (approximately 60 meters in total) cut in the Bir Ben Tartar formation have been shipped to Aberdeen, Scotland, for routine and special analyses. A detailed testing and stimulation program is also being prepared.
The Sud Remada permit is located in the Ghadames Basin and is approximately 1.2 million acres in size. Cygam's working interest in the well and in the entire permit is 14%. SVI is the operator and has a 71% working interest; Madalena Ventures Inc. is also a partner with a 15% interest in the well.

Research demonstrates that associates degree students go on to complete bachelor degrees at a much higher rate than those students who transfer with only a few credits. When starting your associates degree, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will be transferable to colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you can take the required classes needed for your degree in a community college, saving both time and up-front investment.
Look at four-year schools in your state first, to decide if any would be a good fit for you, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. This will outline what classes you need to take to qualify, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain to avoid losing hard-earned credits when you actually transfer. The following state websites provide information about the transfer process within their state. While most states are generally similar, please ask your community college advisor about the specific guidelines for your state. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider New York City College of Technology class registration for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

General Electric might be an odd brand to see releasing a hot sauce, but the company has allegedly put together a spicy condiment blend using the world's hottest pepper and packaged the liquid inside a packet made using jet engine technology. The sauce is so incredibly hot that the packaging is specifically designed out of metal and alloys to contain it.
The exclusive hot sauce blend is made with Moruga peppers -- which are noted as some of the spiciest peppers on the market. To contain the extremely piquant condiment, General Electric put together metal packaging using technology reserved for creating jet engines. The material is made from silicone, superalloy nickel and super ceramics. Together the materials are able to sustain temperatures of up to 2,400-degrees and contain the hot sauce inside a memorable packaging design.

That depends. If she is elderly and depending on the situation, then yes. You really need to hire an attorney to assist you in this. You can request the property be returned but if the person objects then you want to consult an attorney with the details and they can tell you if you are able to get the property returned or not. Good luck.

Snowmageddon ... maybe
When the only responsibility we have during a snowstorm is to shovel our driveways and make sure we have marshmallows for the hot chocolate and that the DVR is cued up, a winter storm can be not such a terrible thing. For those fortunate enough to be able to work from home or simply take a "snow day" leading into a snow-bound weekend, that may be all this particular storm amounts to.

Tape recorder in SD's room
Posted by Anonymous
- 46 Replies
I think my SD is sneaking her boyfriend in her room at night. I have no real proof, and my DH thinks I am just picking on her. But I know something isn't right. I think she waits til we are asleep and sneaks him in her bedroom window. She is across the house, so we wouldn't hear her if she did. She is 16.
Would it be illegal to hide a voice-activated tape recorder in her room?
If I got proof, then her dad would believe me and we could take care of her and punish her.
I'm going to bed soon because I have to go to work in the morning, so I'll answer any questions tomorrow.

Why not set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night to check on her?
This. It's only illegal if you don't have her parents consent. Ask your dh. It will either prove you right or wrong and the issue can be put to rest
Quoting Anonymous: Put a video camera pointing to her window and bedroom entrance. Still will catch him, just without illegally placing it in the room. Not sure about audio tho.

A FLOOD of cheap labour coming from Europe's new states would push down wages in some of the most poorly paid parts of Wales, it was warned last night.
Campaigners - both those supportive of a free labour market in the expanded Europe and those opposed - said Welsh business were in a no-win situation. Either they took advantage of the possibility of cheaper labour or risked losing jobs abroad.
But Government and National Assembly ministers have dismissed warnings that Britain will witness mass migration following the European Union expansion in May unless limits or quotas are imposed.
The UK Government is expected to announce on Monday details of a work- permit scheme to stop "benefits shoppers" from cheating the system when the 15-state EU is joined by 10 Eastern and Central Bloc countries.
However, it is facing mounting pressure to put restrictions or quotas on migrant workers from joining countries, similar to those being proposed by every current EU member bar Ireland.
Llanelli-born Conservative leader Michael Howard, himself the son of a Romanian immigrant, warned yesterday that the expected restrictions did not go far enough.
Mr Howard used a speech in Burnley to savage the BNP party and praise the importance of immigration to Britain's wealth and culture, but warned of the risk posed by EU expansion.
He said, "Our industries and businesses depend upon skilled labour and expertise which can often be found abroad. But people want to know that immigration is controlled."
He added, "Almost every other country in the EU has, quite rightly, taken the precaution of putting in place transitional arrangements to deal with immigration from accession countries. It is still not too late for the British Government to put in place transitional arrangements as well."
Average wage levels in Eastern Europe are less than half the minimum wage in Britain, and Wales has already lost hundreds of manufacturing jobs to states like the Czech Republic.
Plaid Cymru's economics spokesman, Adam Price, said there was anecdotal evidence that recruitment agencies were already targeting countries like Poland and Lithuania to meet the skills shortages in sectors such as construction in South Wales.
He added, "When you have an internal market of huge wage differences, it does exert a downward pressure on wages.
"It is an economic fact, whether it's through jobs being exported to countries where wages are lower, or people from low-wage regions coming into another labour market."
However, the Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP said the answer was not to impose restrictions which would "fuel the negative stereotype" but to raise the wealth of all member states in the EU.
Andrew Davies, the Assembly's Economic Development Minister, dismissed dire warnings from the Shadow Home Secretary David Davies that "many of the 75 million citizens will wish to come to Britain irrespective of benefits".
He said, "I can understand if people have concerns, but I think they are misplaced. I just don't expect people will be flooding into Britain from the Czech Republic or other countries, taking jobs and reducing wages."
The Government now faces a squeeze between critics from the left who warn any limits on the new EU states will create a "two-tier Europe", and critics on the right who suggest the current proposals are too soft.
