Pollen-Munching Spiders May Be Reclassified As Omnivores
[ Watch the Video: Pollen On The Menu For Orb-Weaver Spiders ]
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe OnlineSpiders have long been thought of as creepy-crawly predators, but a new study from a couple of European researchers has found that these arachnids will munch on pollen from time to time as well.
According to their report in the journal PLOS ONE, the study team found that the diet of younger, common orb-weaver spiders includes around 25 percent pollen. The spiders were even found to eat pollen when insect prey was readily available. While spider webs are most famously used to capture prey, they can also ensnare aerial pollen and fungal spores.
"Most people and researchers think of spiders as pure carnivores, but in this family of orb web spiders that is not the case," said study author Dirk Sanders, an ecologist at the University of Exeter. "We have demonstrated that the spiders feed on pollen caught in their webs, even if they have additional food, and that it forms an important part of their nourishment."
To make their discovery, the researchers performed feeding experiments and a stable isotope analysis on juvenile orb-weaving spiders to determine if they include plant resources in their diet.
"The amount of pollen consumption was quite similar in the laboratory and in the field, indicating that orb-weaving spiders actively feed on pollen for optimal nourishment, with all essential nutrients delivered by insect prey and resources provided by plants, at least at early life stages," the researchers wrote in their report.
"Most pollen grains are too large to pass through the spider's pharynx and therefore cannot be swallowed accidentally but have to be actively consumed," the researchers concluded. "Spiders dissolve the outer coating of a pollen grain via extra-oral digestion and suck up the dissolved nutrients afterwards."
"The pollen grains used in this study were of different shapes and sizes," they added. "It is likely that other araneid species feed on different pollen. "
The research team found that providing their spiders with different diets did not affect weight gain in the juveniles.
"This suggests that when insect prey is also available, the supplement through pollen might not be important for spider growth, but it could have an effect on long-term fitness, i.e. reproduction and survival, as indeed pollen has been shown to increase the survival of otherwise starving spiderlings," the scientists wrote. "Therefore, it is likely that pollen availability is crucial for spider survival at the early juvenile stage in spring, when insect prey is scarce in contrast to pollen."
The research team concluded that the amount of pollen eaten by their spiders was so high that they should be reclassified as omnivores instead of carnivores.
"The question remains whether spiders choose their web building location based on pollen availability in the environment," the researchers said. "The juvenile (orb-weaving spiders) we observed in this study had built their webs in the branchwood of different wind-pollinated trees. This could be due to the fact that these are optimal locations for successfully capturing flying insect prey; however it could also be possible that webs are positioned according to pollen availability and spiders select these locations as juveniles."
"Further studies investigating pollen feeding at different life stages and in different habitats are needed to increase our understanding of the importance of herbivory for spider fitness, behavior and their role in ecological communities," they concluded.

Smart Parts Nerve Paintball Gun w Halo B V35 Rip Drive Loader Hopper | eBay
Is there something I don't know about Halo's?
Is that one very much on backwards?
its on backwards. Id pay 200 for that setup. Iv always missed my nerve
I put loaders on backwards all the time...and not a bad price for a nurve
Kathy L Porter. That's who.
Putting it on wrong is one thing,
using a pic of a backwards hopper as your listing?
idk, I tend to think at least a sec more about the pic I wanna use for a listing.
BUT THE PRICE IS SO RIGHT. haha part of me wonders if the marker has been a bit less then well maintained tho. I have it watched, but I had to lol at the pics, if it sells close to the starting point of 200 someones getting one of the sickest deals. Nerves are all going cheap on ebay, some nicer then this, but the halo (looks pretty new) w/ rip really makes this package awesome for <250 (assuming it goes that low)
Lafayette Trumpet Brass Used Great Condition | eBay
Well don't feel so bad, she has a trombone listed for sale as a trumpet too.
Lol ftw.
She states in her Trumpet listing that she works for a pawn shop. Don't expect her to know how it is supposed to go. However, on that note, how did the Pawn shop know how much to pawn an item for if they can't figure out the difference between a Trombone and a Trumpet?

From the side of the road leading to the former village of Shiao Lin, a woman cried as she viewed the flattened plain of mud where homes once stood.
"All of my relatives -- including my older brother -- are gone," cried Luo Yong Ling. "Only my brother's son is alive. More than 10 of my relatives and just one left."
Local authorities estimate scores of people were buried when a massive mudslide caused by Typhoon Morakot covered the village. As many as 200 people from Shiao Lin could be trapped under five stories of mud, said Wang Yuchi, a spokesman for President Ma Ying Jeou. Read full article »

Our mombean and dadbean's younger son, the one we call TallSon has a birthday today! He was born on the 21st, the Winter Solstice, 26 yrs. ago.
Happy Birthday, TallSon!! Even though you don't live here anymore, I - Moe - remembers when you encouraged mombean to adopt me exactly 10 years ago. I was the first cat in the family. Then my sisfur, Mindy, came to live here too. We miss you, but we are glad you are happy and doing well.
TallSon is finishing up courses in digital animation, here is his demo reel:

We are indoor cats and this is our blog.... with Mindy, a grey tabby girl and with Mike a bi-color tabby who is the bigger of the two of us. In June of this year, 2016, sadly both Cookie and Moe left us and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. They and the ones who came before, exist in our hearts now and always. We continue our blogging stories and hope you will follow "Team Tabby" along.

Countdown - Fourth Week of Advent
Our people seem to be busy all of the time lately. It is hard for us to snoopervise when they won't stay in one place long enough for us to approve of all that happens.
Mombean seems to be making out lots of lists, then she loses them. There is no hope with that. We heard her on the phone inviting a bunch of relatives to dinner on Friday. Well anything involving food isn't such a bad idea. We bet some of those extended family members are going to be over whelmed with our cuteness and give us lots a treats. This could work out nicely. I think I will sleep on this idea a bit more.
Meanwhile here is photo of grandbean's cross stitch birds
A closeup of this photo show the elves that

My mother in law is a Paul P Kleinsasser who lived on a farm at the very N edge of Freeman.
They claim to be Menonites not Hutterites. I have attended their Menonite Church but have not visited the colony. The musieum is very interesting. What distinction do you make between the two groups?
If you have data re the ship, the dates and exit and entry ports I would be very interested.
We have a family book re the family so if this possible connection makes sense to you, let me know and we will see what information about the family we already have.

Belmont Abbey College Sues Federal Government Over Obamacare Mandate
By Becket Fund
11/14/2011 (6 years ago)
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty (www.becketfund.org/)
"A monk at Belmont Abbey may preach on Sunday that pre-marital sex, contraception, and abortions are immoral, but on Monday, the government would force the same monk to pay for students to receive the very drugs and procedures he denounces," said Hannah Smith, Senior Legal Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. "This is much worse than an un-funded mandate; it is a monk-funded mandate."
Belmont Abbey College
By Becket Fund
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty (www.becketfund.org/)
11/14/2011 (6 years ago)
Published in College & University
Keywords: Belmont Abbey College, Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, persecution
P>WASHINGTON,DC (Becket Fund for Religious Liberty) - On November 10, 2011, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty filed a lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of Belmont Abbey College over the "Affordable Care Act" (aka "Obamacare"), that forces the College to violate its deeply-held religious beliefs or pay a severe fine.
The heart of the lawsuit involves the recently issued Health and Human Services' mandate that requires thousands of religious organizations to provide, against their conscience, contraceptives they consider to be abortifacients-namely Plan B and Ella-and sterilization.
Although the government has already provided thousands of waivers for a variety of special interest groups including McDonald's and teachers' unions, often for reasons of commercial convenience, it refused to accommodate religious organizations. Instead, the government permitted a religious exemption so narrowly defined that it prompted the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to note that even Jesus' ministry would not qualify.
"A monk at Belmont Abbey may preach on Sunday that pre-marital sex, contraception, and abortions are immoral, but on Monday, the government would force the same monk to pay for students to receive the very drugs and procedures he denounces," said Hannah Smith, Senior Legal Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. "This is much worse than an un-funded mandate; it is a monk-funded mandate."
The current exemption from the mandate excludes only certain religious employers whose purpose is to instill religious values and that employ and serve only individuals of their same faith. Accordingly, many religious colleges and universities will not qualify for the exemption.
Belmont Abbey, as a small Catholic liberal arts college, teaches that contraception, sterilization, and abortion are all against God's law. The government mandate forces Belmont Abbey and others to make the Hobson's choice of either violating their deeply-held religious beliefs or paying a heavy fine and terminating their health insurance plans for employees and students.
"The mandate is nothing other than a deliberate attack by the government on the religious beliefs of millions of Americans," added Hannah Smith. "In the end, the government is forcing religious orders and believers to pay for services they find immoral or pay a stiff fine."
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is a non-profit, public-interest law firm dedicated to protecting the free expression of all religious traditions. The Becket Fund has a 17-year history of defending religious liberty for people of all faiths. Its attorneys are recognized as experts in the field of church-state law.

cooling water monitoring Applications
Monitoring once through cooling water
The Situation
Power plants and paper mills use service water loops and mill water loops respectively for the cooling of lubricating, hydraulic, turbine and transformer oil. These cooling systems feature large, recirculating volumes of water which are treated with biocides, dispersants, and corrosion inhibitors. By comparison, refineries often use once through cooling water systems. The cooling water is taken from lakes, rivers, or the ocean and circulated once through the plant to cool processes. Large volumes of water are used to keep the return water temperature low enough to prevent adverse effects on the environment.
Monitoring oil in power plant cooling water
The Situation:
A municipal power plant in the southern United States operates more than 10 stationary power plant engines capable of producing 52 megawatts of electric power. The plant is part of a larger statewide power grid system. Within the grid, the municipality brokers the purchase or sale of power hourly, based on the needs of municipality and the market rate for power on the grid system.
Water quality monitoring systems for cooling water treatment industry
A number of treatment products are often added to prevent corrosion, scaling and fouling. Coating of sensors and other effects of these products must be taken into account when selecting analyzers. Discharge monitoring needs special attention because zero measurements must be reliable over time with little maintenance.
By SWAN Analytische Instrumente AG based in Hinwil, SWITZERLAND.
Cooling Tower, algae and biofilm control
"Efficiently lowers algae, biofilm formation, bacterial counts and chemical consumption." When temperatures are high, for example in cooling towers, a matrix of different microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, EPS and algae can grow very rapidly. The disadvantages of biofilm formation in cooling towers can be enormous. Therefore water used in cooling towers needs frequent treatment and chemical shocks to keep levels of micro-organisms to a minimum.
Cooling & Drinkingwater: ATP monitoring of biomass growth in waters
Monitoring Biomass in (Cooling Tower) Waters through ATP monitoring
The TOXcontrol can be used for ATP monitoring. Currently our company is doing research for further developments for this application on the TOXcontrol.
Monitoring the microbial population of cooling towers is necessary in order to maintain the proper operation of the system. Conventional methods for monitoring microbial populations work by culturing microorganisms, a time-consuming procedure that requires days or even weeks of incubation before the results are known. Biofouling can be well-advanced before treatment begins. In addition, it is believed that this technique does not detect the full range of microbial life present in cooling systems.

Monitoring of phenol in water
The Situation
A plant located in the eastern United States manufactures phenolic resin for applications in plastics molding. This plant uses well water for cooling its reaction process and then discharges the water into a local creek.
Water Monitoring and Flow Measurement Systems for Hydrology
In recent years acoustic flow measurement and flow metering has established itself as the standard method for measurement in many hydrological stations but is also used as the basis for various applications, for example for flood protection and flood forecasting. Ultrasonic flow meters are also used in hydro-engineering constructions. With this almost contact free technology data can be recorded continuously and it provides 24/7 monitoring. Such flow monitoring is particularly important in waterways used for shipping, transportation, irrigation, drainage and for cooling water extraction of power plants. A further important use of transit-time open channel flow meters is the transportation of water used for the supply of drinking water. Here the focus lies on detecting the flow rate of water loss at an early stage as it is sometimes difficult to detect small leakages.

Monitoring Heat Exchanger Leaks in Paper Plant
Monitoring of leaks in heat exchangers
The Situation
A California refinery produces xylene for use as commercial product and a precursor for petrochemical manufacturing. A primary component to the production of xylene is the isolation and purification of the chemical from a complex mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons. Steam based heat exchangers are used to process the xylene. Inherent to the design and rough duty heat exchangers face during their operation, leaks can and do develop. When a heat exchanger leaks, xylene contaminates the steam and produces a number of problems ranging from loss of final product, contamination and fouling of steam transfer piping, and ultimately bio-fouling of cooling towers. Consistent and reliable monitoring for xylene or other petroleum hydrocarbons in cooling water or steam condensate can alleviate product loss and process equipment down time.
Moisture Monitoring for Nuclear Reactors
The Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor uses carbon dioxide gas to transfer heat from the nuclear fission core to the water boiler for steam generation. The moisture content needs to be monitored to avoid corrosion damage, and continuous moisture monitoring acts as a boiler leak detector or bulk moisture meter.
By Moisture Control & Measurement Ltd based in Wetherby, UNITED KINGDOM.
Meteorological sensors for building automation
Smart homes need a professional weather sensor that controls watering, closes the windows when it rains and optimizes the energy requirement (heating / cooling), depending on the external conditions. The better the weather information the megacities collect, the better the traffic management. The WS700 collects all measurement data for optimal weather-dependent building control. Rain / snow differentiation and maintenance- free intensity measurement of all types of precipitation. As an option, lightning detection can be integrated into the WS800. Insurance companies require proof in case of building damage.

Flow & Energy Management Solutions for plant & machine
Spire Metering offers several solutions for leakage detection. The flowmeters are used to monitor cooling water in machining process. They are used also in liquid process control and leakage detection applications.

EU Carbon Drops to Two-Week Low as Glut-Fix Shortcut Abandoned
European Union carbon permits closed at their lowest level since Feb. 7 a day after Matthias Groote, chairman of the EU parliament's environment panel, scrapped fast-track talks on a plan to cut a surplus of allowances.
The December contract fell 5.9 percent to close at 4.30 euros ($5.60) a metric ton on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London. Certified Emission Reductions for December rose 1 cent to 35 cents a ton.
The EU benchmark declined 17 percent over the past two sessions after Groote decided not to pursue a vote that might have hastened a decision on a 900 million-ton temporary reduction in supply of emissions permits through 2015.
"Without a vote anytime soon in the parliament, the carbon market is going to remain in the doldrums," Eric Bickel, an analyst at energy management company Schneider Electric SA in Louisville, Kentucky, said today by e-mail. "If this market has to wait four months before finding some semblance of balance, then we're going to see very little impetus."

This is a play on the first line of a famous poem by the English writer Christopher Marlowe, called 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love'. Marlowe (1564-1593), a contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote poetry and plays. He was stabbed to death by Ingram Frizer ten days after being arrested; the murky circumstances surrounding his death have encouraged many rumours about his life. Some think he wrote many of Shakespeare's plays, others that he was a spy.
The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was, of course, the famous and rather colourful Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. Whilst fending off the forces of fascism he also had time to come up with a good number of witty off-the-cuff remarks such as "it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
Tony Benn (born 1925) is a left-wing Labour politician, formerly an MP and currently the leader of the Stop the War Coalition. His diaries, documenting his life at the heart of the British political system, have been published regularly: eight volumes are currently available.
UNPROFOR stands for the United Nations Protection Force, a military body that existed from 1992 to 1995. Drawn from dozens of countries around the world, the force acted as peacekeepers in Bosnia, Herzegovina and Croatia during the Yugoslav wars, which saw the former country of Yugoslavia violently broken up into its constituent parts. UNPROFOR was called upon to help enforce a ceasefire in Croatia, and to protect civilians, maintain safe areas and protect the free movement of humanitarian aid in Bosnia.
During the war, UNPROFOR was drawn into a number of conflicts with paramilitary forces in the area. In April 1994 Bosnian Serbs attacked Goražde, which had been designated a UN safe area, and abducted UN personnel. Later on, in May 1995, four hundred peacekeepers were taken hostage, also by the Bosnian Serbs. Out of a force of 39,000, a total of 320 were killed during the conflict.
General Jean Cot (born 1934) is a French army officer who was responsible for the UNPROFOR force in the former Yugoslavia during the Yugoslav wars. He also served in Algeria during the war for independence.
He has been highly decorated during his career, receiving both the Légion d'honneur and the Legion of Merit.
PPE stands for Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Oxford University was the first to offer this interdisciplinary degree, which is a popular choice among aspiring politicians. The current British Prime Minister, David Cameron, studied PPE at Oxford, as did the Labour leader Ed Miliband, his brother David (the former Foreign Secretary), William Hague (the Foreign Secretary), Peter Mandelson and many other current and former MPs.
Recently some people have begun to question whether electing large numbers of politicians with degrees in PPE is necessarily a good thing, or whether people with experience outside of politics should be encouraged to stand for the House of Commons.
Burundi is considered to be the second or third poorest country in the world. Its population, like that of its neighbour Rwanda, is drawn from the three tribes that dominate this part of equatorial Africa: the Hutus, the Tutsis and the Twa.
In October 1993 the first democratically elected president of Burundi, Melchior Ndadaye, was assassinated during a failed military coup. He had only been in office for three months. His assassination sparked off an escalating series of bloody attacks that eventually became the Burundian Civil War, a decade-long battle for dominance between the tribes that is thought to have claimed around 30,000 lives.
At the same time, neighbouring Rwanda was suffering a similarly violent civil war after the (mainly Tutsi) Rwandan Patriotic Front invaded the country in 1990. Four years later, in 1994, a plane carrying both the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana and the Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down in Kigali. This event led to the Rwandan Genocide, a three month period during which around half a million to a million people were killed by the interim government of Rwanda.
It is still unclear who shot down the plane carrying the presidents.
The Martyrs' Memorial is a stone monument in the centre of Oxford that was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect behind the magnificent frontage to St Pancras station in London as well as a great many other famous buildings.
It commemorates the deaths of the three Oxford martyrs, the Anglican bishops Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Ridley and Thomas Cranmer, who were burnt at the stake in 1555, during the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary).
As Joanna Briscoe points out in this Guardian review of The Lessons, Mark's surname is a single letter away from that of Henry Winter, one of the main characters in Donna Tartt's The Secret History, a novel which has had a clear influence on The Lessons. In both books a less privileged outsider is accepted into a group of affluent and charismatic undergraduates who gather together in a large, impressive yet dilapidated house. Mark's surname seems to be a direct reference to Tartt's book.
Au Clair de la Lune is a French folk song dating from the eighteenth century. Once learnt by French children playing the glockenspiel, the tune also forms part of the earliest known recording of the human voice. It was recorded by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in 1860, on a paper phonoautograph recording that was converted to a digital recording by American scholars in 2008.

The media and intraracial respectability-nazis have crucified Rachel Jeantel for daring to exist outside of the paradigm of "respectable court etiquette." The 19-year-old witness was the last person to speak to Trayvon Martin before he was shot and killed by volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. Jeantel's endured a brutal trauma, but instead of empathizing with her, critics scrutinize her speech, courtroom demeanor and weight.
The cultural conscience forgets Jeantel lost someone she loved and held with regard. This point was reiterated by the teenager's lawyer, Rod Vereen, in an interview with the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Thousands of hearts broke when Vereen recounted how significant Martin's presence was in Jeantel's life.
Vereen said:
Trayvon was one of the few guys, okay, and this is what, I mean, this ripped, tore my heart apart. She said he was one of the few guys that never made fun of me, about the way I dressed, about the way I talked, about my hair, about my complexion, you know, about my weight. And she said, so we communicated, because Rachel was, she was pretty much an introvert and so for her to be a 19-year-old young lady, who speaks three different languages. Now I hate to hear people talking, oh, she's ignorant and she speaks three different languages, English being her third language.
He continued:
Trayvon was a handsome little boy, all right? He was a cute kid. You know, and so here's a young lady who's infatuated the fact that somebody like Trayvon Martin befriended her and then she was just struck at the fact that their friendship was the way it was and they texted each other all the time. They called each other all the time, you know? And this is the way she communicated with them, you know.
I didn't realize tears were cascading down my cheeks until I'd finished reading the interview. My mother immediately cried as I read Vereen's words to her and my father hung his head with grief. Jeantel suffered a traumatic loss, a trauma I've never experienced, but I'm much-too-familiar with the grief of being uncomfortable in my skin.
I had C-cups, stretch marks and menstruation before sixth grade. I attribute my early development to the asthmatic steroids prescribed when I was eight. I needed the medication to avoid extensive hospital-stays in the winter, but when the sexual harassment began, I'd much rather breathe through an inflamed lung than face the lewd comments, stares and gropes.
Some males view females as objects in need of conquering. I was the animal in need of taming and a pack of teenagers thought it was their responsibility to reign me in. I'll never forget what I was wearing: A red t-shirt, acid-wash jean shorts and cute red sandals. The teacher asked me to assist two male students with dumping the trash after an end-of-the-year celebration. As soon as went outside, one of them pinned my arms behind my back as the other began kissing my neck and grabbing my breasts. I screamed and cried, but nobody heard me.
It was the first incident in a series of similar violations. First it was two fifth-grade classmates. Then their older friends. And their friends. And their friends. I'd sprint from school as soon as the final bell rang, hoping I'd escape before the gang of hormonal teenage boys surrounded me. Sometimes I outran them. Sometimes I didn't.
It was torture. Though my parents attempted to derail the harassment by reporting their antics to the school, the hormonal gang of teenage boys would still surround me during recess. I wasn't taunted or teased for being overweight, but I hated living in the skin I was in. My dad told me I was beautiful every morning, afternoon and evening. He boosted my confidence daily, but it deflated as I was treated like an object by male classmates.
I turned the blame inward instead of faulting these teens for their actions. I dressed in hoodies and sweats, hoping my change of attire would keep them from harassing me. It didn't. My parents transferred to me another school soon after seventh grade began, but the emotional damage never waned.
I learned to resent my breasts, hips and womanly curves. I hid underneath clothing too big and cringed when I passed a group of male students.
But like Rachel, I had a Trayvon. His name was Donovan. He was the first teenage boy I encountered that paid minimal attention to how I looked, but concerned himself with what I thought. How I learned. How I saw the world. He never groped, cornered or harassed me. We were never intimate and there was no attraction between us, but his kindness pulled me from a sinking hole of self-hatred.
He pulled me from the shell I'd retreated into. His friendship kept me sane. I couldn't imagine losing him then, and can't begin to fathom Jeantel's pain.
In that regard, I am Rachel Jeantel.

Last Things
Full Product Description
When the medievals spoke of "last things" they were sometimes referring to events, such as the millennium or the appearance of the Antichrist, that would come to all of humanity or at the end of time. But they also meant the last things that would come to each individual separately - not just the place, Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory, to which their souls would go but also the accounting, the calling to reckoning, that would come at the end of life. At different periods in the Middle Ages one or the other of these sorts of "last things" tended to be dominant, but both coexisted throughout.In "Last Things", Caroline Walker Bynum and Paul Freedman bring together eleven essays that focus on the competing eschatologies of the Middle Ages and on the ways in which they expose different sensibilities, different theories of the human person, and very different understandings of the body, of time, of the end. Exploring such themes as the significance of dying and the afterlife, apocalyptic time, and the eschatological imagination, each essay in the volume enriches our understanding of the eschatological awarenesses of the European Middle Ages.
Last Things was published by University of Pennsylvania Press in October 1999 and is our 50219th best seller. The ISBN for Last Things is 9780812217025.

Marlee Walchuk and Tully Callender of the music duo Sugarbeach are two women after my own heart. As out musicians, Walchuk said that as Sugarbeach was releasing their own videos, there were few sites to put them on save for getting swallowed up on YouTube. "There was nothing on the 'net I found where people could see videos of queer artists," Walchuk said. "Plus, I would mention queer artists I knew of, but no one heard of them. We saw a need and decided to fill it."
And RightOutTV was born. The streaming video site features only videos from out LGBT musicians. The ladies worked on compiling artists and getting the basic site up for the last two months, and on Oct. 31 it went live. As far as Walchuk has found, theirs might be the only site providing the service. "It's been a great process and we could be the only ones, but I'd hate to say that in case there's one in Budapest doing the same thing," she joked.
Now she and Callendar can get people clued in on gay artists and help present them to the rest of the world. Right now, the site features five hours of streaming video from various artists. They are working on putting more up, but that costs money. Right now, the site is all out of pocket. "We wanted to get it rolling and didn't want anything to stop us, so basically we went with LiveStream, a free channel. Five hours is all we can do right now for free but that's still a lot," she said. "We're going to work on getting a sponsor or some funding and bring it to a totally different level. With advertisers or money coming in, we can have better streaming and more storage capacity."
Which means right now, they have to put up with Google ads on the page and in the stream. "Yeah. Sometimes we get Billy Graham ads that pop up," she said.
Yikes — someone get them cash quick!

WHEN LAKEWOOD CENTER opened in the early 1950s, the town of Lakewood, Calif., itself was new, one of the earlier postwar suburbs that eventually came to dominate the American landscape. The man who developed the community also developed the mall, which unlike most later shopping centers was planned specifically to serve as the core of the new city's downtown. More than 100 surrounding acres were left undeveloped to accommodate future retail and commercial needs.
When it opened, the property was entirely open-air, with several separate structures facing one another across an outdoor plaza and shops facing both the plaza and the parking lots at the rear. Shy of 600,000 sq. ft., it was small by today's standards though not by those of the time.
Lakewood originally had only one anchor, a 350,000 sq. ft. May Company department store that remains in place today. The single-anchor arrangement reflected typical '50s thinking, says Mace Siegel, chairman of The Macerich Co., Santa Monica, Calif., which has owned the property since 1975. "Department stores didn't want competition back then. They wouldn't let you bring in a rival," he explains.
As for the store's large size, Siegel says that too was characteristic of the time. Most retailers assumed stores needed to be as big as their preceding downtown counterparts. Today, he remarks, May uses only two-thirds of the space in its Lakewood building, having closed off the rest.
May's placement in the center also seems odd by today's standards. It was in line with the one row of shops with nothing across from it. The retailer wanted to be visible from as many sides as possible, plus it wanted a parking and drop-off plaza in the front.
The drawback to the single-anchor approach, Siegel points out, is that it fosters construction of many more malls, one for each department store chain, and the properties tend to limit one another's sales potential. May Company eventually did allow Bullock's to build a 250,000 sq. ft. store on a site away from the shopping center proper, he adds. Unfortunately, because Bullock's tended to serve a higher-end clientele than the other stores, there was little in the way of crossover shopping.
Competition prompts changes Over time, both May Company and mall management realized that when it comes to department stores, more truly is better. In the 1960s, JCPenney opened, enclosing the project's southern exposure. In the mid-1970s, Montgomery Ward built a store to enclose the northern exposure, giving the center a box-like configuration.
Business, however, had begun to decline due to the opening of a more up-to-date mall three miles away in Cerritos. By the time that Macerich took over the property in '75, Siegel says, shop sales had fallen about 50%, although May and JCPenney continued to prosper.
Immediately after coming in, he relates, the company began making plans to enclose the mall. In the process, Macerich added 35,000 sq. ft. of shop space directly opposite May and another 15,000 sq. ft. in the breaks between structures. It also installed 18 kiosks.
"It originally had seven or eight points of entry," Siegel says. "That made it very easy for shoppers to come to one store and skip almost all the others."
The work was finished in '78 and over the next 24 months, sales at the mall stores doubled, he says. In '81, the mall was expanded again, and in '95, it underwent a complete renovation to give it a more contemporary look. During that 14-year period, other construction also occurred. Mervyn's had a store built and, following Macy's closure of the Bullock's chain, the building was torn down and replaced by a Home Depot and Lucky supermarket with a total of 160,000 sq. ft. The change proved profitable.
"Bullock's was doing $17 million in annual sales in 250,000 sq. ft. Between them, Home Depot and Lucky are doing three times that much in two-thirds the space," Siegel reports.
Restaurant pads also were added over the years, to the point that restaurant business totals about $40 million annually. In addition, at various points Robinsons, Circuit City and Best Buy were added, and Siegel says he foresees bringing in still one more department store. Pacific Theaters expanded from two screens to four and now is in the process of building a new, 100,000 sq. ft. multi-screen cinema. Lakewood Center currently has about 1.75 million sq. ft. of space.
Because of the size of the original parcel reserved for the center, Macerich has not had to build parking garages. All parking is at grade. However, Siegel anticipates continued growth that, at some point, will make deck parking necessary. Fortunately, he says, the property is in an official city redevelopment zone, and the city likely would underwrite the costs if a garage were built.
In general, says Siegel, Lakewood Center has become the city's downtown, just as it was intended to be. Rather than being a single monolithic site, the property is divided into blocks by transecting streets. The tenants represent a cross-section of mall, power center and community center retailers. "It's been a constant evolution," he comments. "We're always responding to the needs of the surrounding community. As those change, Lakewood Center changes."
Yet for all the change, the tenant roster has been surprisingly stable. "We have many of the tenants who were in place in 1975 when we bought Lakewood. Some of them, like the May Company, have been here since the beginning nearly 50 years ago. That's very rare," says Siegel.
Another constant has been profitability. In fact, Siegel calls Lakewood "a real cash cow." The extent of its profitability to some degree can be traced to the manner in which Macerich acquired the property. The original 1975 transaction involved only the operating position, which it bought from the previous operator for $3.5 million. Prudential Insurance Co. owned the property and U.S. Realty held the leasehold.
Macerich, in partnership with Provident Loan, eventually bought out the insurance company. Later it bought the leasehold. All in all, says Siegel, the company spent about $50 million for acquisition. In '93, Macerich bought out Provident. The value at the time, he notes, was $165 million. He estimates that today it is worth substantially more than $200 million.
"Lakewood continues to grow and throw off an incredible cash flow. It's an incredible money machine," says Siegel. "If there were more deals like Lakewood, it would be a very easy business."

In short, I want to add Geoserver extension with its own REST service (independent from the default Geoserver REST service).
How would you approach this problem? Should I add REST-starting servlets from the external webapp to the Geoserver sources? If yes, where should I copy them and where should I use them?
I am trying to deploy my own REST service (working fine in external Spring webapp) using Geoserver, so the webapp would become obsolete and the new REST service would be visible in
Okay, I have achieved my goal by adding my own REST service to the geoserver/src/web/app project. Maybe it's a bit extreme, but it serves my goals ;)
Mainly it required adding the external (my own) REST service and related classed to the Geoserver
web.xml and
applicationContext.xml files. When Geoserver is started this service coexits with Geoserver and is accessed in its path (Geoserver/rest2).

Emirates approves $425m loan for acquisition of two Airbus A380
Dubai's Emirates Airline has approved a $425m loan from a group of banks to fund the acquisition of two Airbus A380 superjumbos, one of the lenders said on Tuesday. Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), Commercial Bank of Dubai and Dubai Islamic Bank were joint bookrunners and lead arrangers for the sharia-compliant financing, ADIB said in a statement, Zawya reported. Emirates used the loan to take delivery of its 50th superjumbo, the bank said. The Dubai-based carrier is the world's largest operator of the A380 jets. In November, it announced plans to buy another 50 from the European planemaker at the Dubai Air Show.

TAMPA — Retired business owner Charles Poe died Friday night at the age of 85, the day after the death of his brother, former Tampa Mayor William F. Poe Sr.
Charles Poe died of complications after breaking his hip about 10 days ago, said his daughter Lynn Reynolds, 56, of Tampa. William Poe, who served as mayor from 1974 to 1979, died Thursday at age 82 after an illness of several weeks.
The brothers were close, along with their sister, Doris Anderson, who lives in Georgia, said Charles Poe's other daughter, Jennifer Wolf, 53, of Tampa.
"They would do anything for each other," she said.
Charles Poe was born on Aug. 23, 1928, in Tampa. He attended Hillsborough High School and the University of Florida. He served in the Army during the Korean War and in 1974 bought a concrete company with locations across the Tampa Bay area.
His wife, Haven Poe, died in February of Alzheimer's disease at age 82. She served on the Tampa City Council from 1979 to 1986 and on the Hillsborough County Commission from 1986 to 1990. Charles Poe was always supportive of his wife's public service, his daughters said.
"He didn't want the attention. He was just so happy," Wolf said. "He loved Mom so much and wanted her to thrive and was proud of her."
Poe loved to fish, especially in freshwater, and owned the Greenswamp Fishing Lodge in Polk City, Reynolds said. They took trips around the country every summer with friends.
Poe was a member of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla and the Tampa Bay Builders Association, chairman of the Florida Concrete and Product Association, and an elder at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church. As a devoted father of two and grandfather of five, family always came first.
"He was at every dance recital and when we cheered, he was at every football game and basketball game," Reynolds said.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Hyde Park Presbyterian Church, 1309 W Swann Ave.
Times researcher John Martin contributed to this report.

Highlights in bold.
6:00 A.M.: Charles McCord opens the program. "The Imus in the Morning program has returned to the air following a hiatus of nearly 8 months." Wild applause from the live audience assembled in Times Square's Town Hall.
6:06 A.M.: Imus debuts to the sound of "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project (famous for also being the Chicago Bulls theme song).
6:07 A.M.: Imus announces today's guests: Doris Kearns Goodwin, Sen. John McCain, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Sen. Chris Dodd, James Carville, Mary Matalin.
6:09 A.M.: Levon Helm performs.
6:14 A.M.: New "Imus in the Morning" jingle.
6:10 A.M.: "I want to take a second to introduce this new incarnation of 'Imus in the Morning' and the cast." They are: Bernard McGuirk, Rob Bartlett, Tony Powell, Cara Foster, Larry Kinney, Lou Ruffino.
6:20 A.M.: "I want to take a second to talk about what happened back on April 12th. … what it means … what it means for this program and what it means for the young women out of Rutgers.
"In thinking about what happened… I didn't see appoint in going on some Larry King tour to offer a bunch of lame excuses for making a reprehensible remark about innocent people who did not deserve to be made fun of.
"I think what happened is about what should have happened. I think one has to realize …that you don't get to decide nor should you how the news media is going to treat you a remark you make. …
"Every time that I got pissed off about that I reminded myself that if I hadn't said what I said then I wouldn't be having this discussion. …
Les Moonves could not have been more honorable and decent and honest in dealing with me. …
6:23 A.M.: "Whether you're a good person or not is completely unrelated and it doesn't give you any license to make any kind of remark you feel like making, and doesn't minimize the impact it has on who you make it about. …"
6:25 A.M.: Describes meeting with Rutgers basketball team as close to a life-changing experience.
6:28 A.M.: "As I was talking to these young women, I realized that, other than placing in context for them who I was and that I wasn't some vicious racist and this is what we did for a living — make fun of people — that was so irrelevant to how they felt. … It sounded to me as I listened to myself talk and as I looked at them, it just sounded like one lame excuse after another. …
"They didn't think I was calling them prostitutes, but they didn't think it was funny either.
"One woman was this close to my face, just screaming. You could feel her heart break. And I realized how fortunate it was that I was fired. If I had been there apologizing and offering these excuses and still had my job, they would have thought that I was there to save my job and that may have been true. But I was there to save my life. I had already lost my job … They forgave me, they accepted my apology and they said that they would never forget. And I said that I would never forget."
6:32 A.M.: "I analogized it to being an alcoholic and a drug addict, which I also am. If you get into recovery, which I am, for 20 some years now, you have an opportunity to be a better person and to have a better life than you ordinarily would have. And that's true in this situation because it was demonstrated to these young women that there are consequences for things you say. Would I rather have not gone through it? … Absolutely."
6:33 A.M.: "We now have the opportunity to have a better program, to obviously diversity the cast — I mean that just makes sense. But the program is not going to change. … It is a great radio program. It's on a better radio station. … I will never say anything in my lifetime that will make any of these young women at Rutgers regret or feel foolish that they accepted my apology and forgave me. And no one else will say anything on my program that will make anyone else think that I didn't deserve a second chance."
6:34 A.M.: Imus takes national media to task. "They said we were going to have an ongoing discussion about race relations in this country as soon as I left the room. … I must have missed that."
6:35 A.M.: "Not much has changed. Dick Cheney is still a war criminal, Hillary Clinton is still Satan and I'm back on the radio!"
6:38 A.M.: At the end of Imus' speech, he plays Montgomery Gentry's "Some People Change":
Here's to the strong; thanks to the brave.
Don't give up hope: some people change.
Against all odds, against the grain,
Love finds a way: some people change.
Some people change.
6:45 A.M.: Goodwin: "I'm so excited you're back." Imus tells her at 6:55 that she's "a great friend."
6:47 A.M.: Salutes Sean Hannity and Opie & Anthony for their support during Imus' tough time.
6:48 A.M.: "We signed for five years because that's how long it's going to take to get even with everybody."
6:49 A.M.: Someone wrote Imus a letter and said, "Since the Rutgers team forgave you, can't you forgive" those whom Imus feels betrayed him. Imus: "I probably can." But: "I didn't think that these various folks who I was making famous and rich had a lot of courage. I don't know what you think about Al Sharpton, but if I'm going to pick somebody to be in a foxhole with, I pick him before I pick a lot of them people."
7:01 A.M.: Any reason MSNBC still has its Imus page up?
7:36 A.M.: Sen. John McCain tells Imus, "Glad to have you back."

About Chill LA
Chill LA was established in 2000, five years after Chill's inception in Burlington. Since our kickoff season, Chill LA has served more than 1,200 youth across Los Angeles. Today, Chill LA offers a surf program and a skateboard program.
Through these programs, we teach important life lessons like Respect, Patience, Persistence, Courage, Responsibility, and Pride.
Chill works with youth from low-income communities, juvenile justice, mental health, drug treatment, transitional housing, foster care, and after-school programs to overcome challenges they are facing in their everyday lives.
We hosted our first full six-week skate program in the fall of 2015. Our program features private lessons for our teens provided by Skatelab, and a pre-skate "classroom" area to delve into our weekly life lessons. All boards were generously donated to us from Board Rescue. This year, we are proud to announce that we've added an afternoon session as well, doubling the youth enrolled in our skate program!
We have partnered with Boarding House Mentors to host our summer surf programs. We surf for six weeks in June and July with each teen in a private, one-on-one lesson. The entire program is provided at no cost to the youth or agencies involved.
The Latest from Chill Los Angeles
Get ready for la surf summer 2017
We're stoked to partner again in 2017 with Boarding House Mentors for our surf program, coming summer 2017!

Moral courage is an attribute of authentic faith in Christ. David Daleiden, the director of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) and a pro-life activist, has courageously pulled back the curtains on Planned Parenthood and exposed crimes against humanity that rival what we previously attributed to evil regimes like Nazi Germany. People take umbrage at the suggestion that Planned Parenthood and … [Read more...]

KNOXVILLE (WVLT) – The National Weather Service predicts that East Tennessee's first Frost of the year may occur overnight Saturday into Sunday morning.
Forecasters say an area of high pressure is building to the north, which will allow temperatures to plunge into to the 30s across the Southwest Virginia, the Northeast Tennessee Valley, Eastern Tennessee Mountains and extreme Southwest North Carolina.
Those conditions may kill or severely damage your outdoor plants if they are left outside unprotected. According to Stanley's Greenhouse in South Knoxville, trees, shrubs, and some plants such as pansies can withstand a freeze, but others will need to be brought inside or covered up.
"If you still have some of your tender plants outside, you need to bring those indoors this afternoon," said Monte Stanley from Stanley's Greenhouse. "If you don't have time for it, you might want to cover them lightly with some sheets or towels."
You can cover your plants with anything organic including cardboard boxes, but stay away from inorganic coverings such as plastic bags.

Tonight: The NYC Metro User Group Presents Kimberly L. Tripp (blog) and Jonathan Kehayias (blog)!
Let's welcome them to NYC! Now at the NEW NYC Microsoft HQ (see below)
It's time to get some SQLSkills, Big Apple Style! Just bringing you an update on this special presentation brought to you by the NYC Metro SQL User Group - one night only! Please see below the details, and how to register, if you're in the NYC area and a SQL Server/.NET Professional!
Hope you are all doing ok in this cold weather. We are finally ready to get back together again in the new Microsoft Offices at 11 Times Square (West 41st and 8th Avenue). Please join on on Tuesday (yes, Tuesday not Thursday) February 25th at 6:30 PM (yes, not 6:00, the presentation will actually start at 7:00 but pizza etc will be there at 6:30) for a special presentation by Kimberly Tripp and Jonathan Kehayias. Please make sure to REGISTER by clicking the link! The full abstract and agenda is below.
Groups/Target Audience: SQL Server and .NET User Groups, anyone that works with SQL Server that wants to talk techie on Tuesday night
Presenters: Kimberly L. Tripp & Jonathan Kehayias, SQLskills.com
Abstract: Our title seems strange but it runs across multiple themes. First we'll take a look at Service Broker in SQL Server and how it can extend service oriented architectures into the data tier with asynchronous message processing. As for the other theme, database developers, DBAs, architects – don't always talk to each other. In this evening session, we'll cover a mix of really interesting topics that help bridge the gap across these disciplines. Reading plans and understanding plans with Plan Explorer (both the free and the Pro versions will be discussed) – this is something everyone should be able to do. And, we'll raffle off a PE Pro Edition (thanks SQL Sentry) in addition to talking about the FREE Plan Explorer. Then, we'll dive into statement execution methods and plan cache. Different coding strategies on our servers can have a profound effect on both cache and performance. But, how can you write more effective code that takes less caching and has better plans? Some of this content comes from a newly released Pluralsight course titled: SQL Server – Optimizing Ad Hoc Statement Performance and for those of you that attend – Pluralsight will give you a monthly trial. And, we'll also raffle off two Annual Plus subscriptions (thanks Pluralsight)!
How can we all just get along? Come to this fast-paced, demo-packed session led by industry-experts Kimberly L. Tripp and Jonathan Kehayias of SQLskills. And, after the presentation, Kimberly, Jonathan, and Paul Randal (also of SQLskills) will hang out for an open Q&A on almost-anything-SQL. We'll post a list of topics and open up the floor!

Good Lord, these so called driveby journalists make me want to puke. Act like a bunch of damn high school groupies. Do any of them have more than a pair of funcioning brain cells?
Mind you now, I am not THAT old. The Kingston Trio formed the year I was born... :)
What's changed in the RNC that makes them no longer "useful idiots"?
This is Nelson Rockefeller's speech (my edited version) presented at the 1964 Republican Party convention. Nothing has changed. I remember. It was Goldwater and supporters now..
today it is the Tea Party that the RNC hates.
Rockefeller speech 1964 Convention.
Remarks on Extremism at the 1964 Republican National Convention by NEW YORK GOVERNOR NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA JULY 14, 1964
Rockefeller, Scranton, Romney, et al wanted a plank in the Party 1964 election platform condemning.. well, Goldwater and his supporters.
The Republican Party fully respects . . . responsible criticism, and . . . the right of dissent . . . But we repudiate . . . irresponsible, extremist groups . . . [that] discredit our Party by their efforts to infiltrate positions of responsibility in the Party, or to attach themselves to its candidates.
The time has come for the Republican party . . . [to] take decisive action [against groups] which would subvert this party to purposes alien to the very basic tenets which gave this party birth . . . "The Republican party is in real danger of subversion by a radical, well-financed and highly disciplined minority . . . [the purpose of this minority is] "wholly alien to the . . . honest conservatism [of] the Republican party . . ., wholly alien to the sound and honest Republican liberalism . . . , wholly alien to . . . the mainstream of Republican principles."
. . . During this year, I have criss-crossed this nation . . . warning of the extremist threat, its danger to the party and its danger to the nation . . . These extremists feed on fear, hate and terror. They have no program for America - no program for the Republican party . . . These extremists have no plan and no program to keep the peace and bring freedom to the world. On the contrary - they spread distrust. They engender suspicion. They encourage disunity. And they operate from the dark shadows of secrecy . . .
There is no place in this Republican party for such hawkers of hate, such purveyors of prejudice, such fabricators of fear . . . There is no place in this Republican party for those who would infiltrate its ranks, distort its aims, and convert it into a cloak of apparent respectability for a dangerous extremism. . . These people have nothing in common with Republicanism. These people have nothing in common with Americans. The Republican party must repudiate these people.
Republicans have wanted to control talk radio just as much as the Left does and in those days they had control. We were the silenced majority.
Rush has had "the sniffles" for over a year. It worries me.
You're not THAT much older than I am. Just older. ;-)
I'll take who views a microphone as a phallic symbol for $200?, Alex...
If JoeProBono can 'shop' in a 45-degree angle on that microphone, we might have a very funny graphic.
To the left, of course...
You're going to like Chris Plante today.
Wow, what is the party of hate now?
Just woke-up from 29hrs straight at the FFLs; I'll replay CP at 3, after Rush. He was good? Last truck had 1 crate: optics, slings, holsters etc. No goodies.
I just started listening to him live on WMAL and I have a question. Does he attract more leftard callers than other conservative radio talkers? It seems that he gets one, and terribly idiotic ones at that, every other call....
E-Mail Rush.
But unlike the 1960's there is now the internet.
Wonder what Bubba did during Beyonce's number?
