Not Quite Over The Hill and Far Way: Review of Week FiveOctober 14, 2009
That old Led Zeppelin song "Over the Hills and Far Away" provides us a workable theme for yesterday's NFL action as we sort through a thousand images flashing before our eyes, the channel changer warm to the touch after nearly eleven hours of abuse.
We discover players previously thought to be subject to the ravages of time and the game, plus victims of recent and distant injuries are not yet over the hill; some who are, and some nearly forgotten like Cedric Benson, who this morning leads the NFL in rushing yards. Among our lasting observations:
10) Why would you ever consider a Marvin Harrison when you have an Austin Collie (eight receptions, 97 yards, two TDs) and a Pierre Garçon? Sorry Marv, over the hill and far, far away. As for the Titans defense, giving up 16 points per GAME more than last year, maybe not over the hill, but far and away off the mark.
(Note to broadcasters: stop mentioning how tough Chuck Cecil was as a player. We can see how his toughness is really paying dividends for the Titan's defense.)
9) Mike Brown, safety, Kansas City, missed two critical tackles of Miles Austin of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, one in the fourth quarter that went for a TD, and the big overtime TD as well. Mike, the glue factory awaits.
8) T.O. is a non-factor in Buffalo. He has done nothing, both far and away. The Bills might as well have signed Buck Owens to serenade the locker room after another embarrassing loss.
7) Jacksonville lost 41-0 to the Seahawks. To the SEAHAWKS!!! Incredibly Jacksonville's next three games are all against winless teams. Talk about a blessed little sunshine over the next few hills not far away.
6) Did you notice that the Broncos lined up Andre Goodman and not Champ Bailey on Randy Moss all day? The same former Dolphin Andre Goodman who got repeatedly torched by Moss during the magical 2007 Patriot season. Yesterday's result: Moss one reception for 36 yards.
5) Frontrunner for Coach of the Year: Not Quite Over the Hill Marvin Lewis? Or frisky puppy Josh McDaniels?
4) On another matter, do the Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Cheerleader uniforms come in a cleavage version? It's a really great cause, but frankly, nuns dress more provocatively.
3) Tampa Bay: missing the not so over the hill Jon Gruden? Maybe Derrick Brooks, too?
2) How can the San Francisco 49ers win by exactly 35 points one week and lose by exactly 35 points the next week on the same field?
1) And now, the not yet over the hill and far away stats of the week: Brett Favre 18/24 for 232 yards, Kurt Warner 26/38 302 yards, Matt Hasselbeck 18/30 241 yards and four touchdown passes, Carson Palmer 18/31 for 271 yards and another last minute win, Donovan McNabb 16/21 for 321 yards and three TDs, and finally, even Daunte Culpepper 23/37 for 283 yards against the Steelers.
In total, our not quite "Over the Hill and Far Away" QBs passed for 12 TDs and a whopping 1,653 yards yesterday. Pass the liniment boys, you earned it.
And Zep, rock on.

Ultrasonic bath solution - What to put into ultrasonic bath (Aug/06/2010 )
maybe a very stupid question, but we have no experience with ultrasonic baths.
We recently bought one, for cleaning spectrophotometric plates (and our glasses while we have it) and it only had some leaflet in chinese. We are not sure what to put inside. Wiki says water is better with a surfactant, but we are not sure what to use. The material to be cleaned is made from glass and is only slightly dirty (DNA, protein contamination and dirt from glasses).
Does anyone have experience with this?
we sonicate with water filled in the sonicator it and works fine!!!
make sure u keep changing the water.. thats it!!
a little bit of triton x-100 or some other detergent (like alconox) won't hurt but don't forget to rinse well afterwards.
distilled water is what we use in the sonicator, works fine ..

I added a piece and two videos about one of my heroes.."El Pastor" of Juarez.
You can view them in the "Pages" section on the right side.
"The mural depicts a conquistador. A sign says, VISIÓN EN ACCIÓN. Vision in action. But one of the N's has fallen off. In the corner stands a metal statue of a man in armor. This is the office of El Pastor, José Antonio Galvan, the evangelist who took in the battered remains of Miss Sinaloa and gave her succor in the asylum. His office was once a drug house where addicts punctured their veins and savored their dreams. El Pastor arrived here as a street preacher raving in the calles. The local priest called him a devil. But he drew others to him. As for the devil, he fights him daily—he keeps a black and red punching bag near at hand and slams it with his fists as he fights Satan. Everything about El Pastor is vital and coarse, his language often vulgar, his feel for the crazy people visceral. He is sitting in front of me, with a mop of graying hair, a fleshy body, a ready smile—but rough edges remain and keep him honed. He has a tattoo of a good-looking mestiza. And another of a beautiful indigenous woman.
He is showing me a movie of the asylum—men beaten by police and dumped half-crazy on the streets, addled addicts with seeping ulcerated wounds, women who will never remember what happened to them and never want to remember.
I stare at the ruined faces in the video and ask, "Does your congregation support this work?"
He smiles, points to the screen, and says, "This is my congregation."
El Pastor spent sixteen years as an illegal immigrant in Los Angeles, where he learned to be a crane operator. He did lots of drugs and drank lots of alcohol and earned sixteen dollars an hour. Then, in 1985, he was reborn. He returned to Juárez to do God's work, mainly preaching on the street to drug addicts. In the winter of 1998 El Pastor says he was driving through a bad storm when he saw a mound on the street and swerved just as a man stood and shook off the snow that had fallen and covered him. "I was driving that day and singing to the Lord and it was snowing. I said, 'Lord, I'm working with you,' and the Lord pulled my hair." So El Pastor rounded up friends and spent the day gathering the wounded of the streets—brain-damaged addicts, ruined gang members, everyone left out in the snow in a city without mercy. That is the moment when he began scooping the crazy people off the streets, the moment when he began creating his asylum in the desert…"
No Responses to "Pages Update: "El Pastor""
Watching the videos was quite sobering. The people this pastor serves are modern day lepers. As he shared about the men he found covered in snow it reminded me of the story of the good Samaritan. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow. "The least of these"…
This man is a true hero and Servant of the Living God.
Erunner noted that this man serves "modern day lepers" … good analogy, i think … i'm not even up to linking to the story this morning – this is overwhelming and, somehow, threatening, too
Wow … I'm humbled by this amazing man …
The video loads too slow for me to watch, but I love the article. "This is my congregation." Amen.
Praying for El Pastor now.
Lord may your spirit manifest in these people's hearts. May they know You Lord, and be touched by You. Lord have mercy on their souls. Heal their bodies and minds. Lord, bring this shelter the proper medical care, relief, and expertise. Give strength to this pastor, and rest. Protect all of them Lord, keep them so very safe. amen.
Now, there's love. This man, El Pastor, was first convicted by God, then obeyed. The kernel of his work? Love your neighbor. He is a precious soul.
Tim and nene, I join you in prayer for him and the people he ministers to.

Clare, Cassandra. Clockwork Princess. (Infernal Devices, Bk. 3). 13 CDs. retail ed. unabridged. 15½ hrs. S. & S. Audio. 2013. ISBN 9781442334762. $23.95; 14 CDs. library ed.; Playaway digital; digital download. F
The final volume of Clare's beloved trilogy (Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince) opens with the wedding of Tessa Gray and Jem Carstairs, which is promptly interrupted by a thrilling battle. While the demon-fighting Shadowhunters at the London Institute come under attack, Tessa is kidnapped by Axel Mortmain and his sinister automatons, the Infernal Devices. Will Herondale races to save Tessa as Jem suffers life-threatening injuries, and Tessa discovers that she is stronger than she ever realized. This thrilling novel is filled to the brim with romance, action, and adventure. Narrator Daniel Sharman ably conveys danger, drama, and sensitive emotions. VERDICT Listeners will be left dizzy from breathtaking, twisty plot turns as well as the unexpected conclusion to this enchanting series. [The McElderry: S. & S. hc was a New York Times best seller. See the Q&A with the author on page 64.—Ed.]—Terry Ann Lawler, Phoenix P.L.
Perry, Thomas. The Boyfriend. 7 CDs. library ed. unabridged. Tantor Audio. 2013. ISBN 9781452611488 $34.99; 1-MP3-CD. library/retail eds.; Playaway digital; digital download. F
Perry (Butcher's Boy) launches another excellent series starring protagonist Jack Till, a highly respected and now retired homicide detective who works as a private investigator. Though he's initially hired to find the murderer of a call girl, the action quickly escalates into a search for a clever, manipulative hit man. The intensity of the story takes an occasional short break whenever the gentle side of Till is revealed in interactions with his 24-year-old daughter, who has Down syndrome. The pacing is rapid, Till is an intrepid hero, and the ending is satisfying. Reader Robertson Dean (winner of nine Earphones Awards, 2010 Best Voice in History & Historical Fiction) continues his track record as an excellent narrator who can effectively switch among a variety of characters. VERDICT Enthusiastically recommended for the vast fan base that Perry has built up as well as those who enjoy a battle of wits between adversaries. ["A guaranteed winner," read the starred review of the Mysterious Pr: Grove hc, LJ 3/15/13.—Ed.]—Deb West, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
Russell, Karen. Vampires in the Lemon Grove. 8 CDs. library ed. unabridged. 9¼ hrs. Books on Tape. 2013. ISBN 9780385367462. $40; digital download. F
Pulitzer Prize finalist Russell's (Swamplandia) latest collection of short stories concern people to whom the very worst has already happened in most cases…or has it? In "Reeling for the Empire," Kitsune has, like many other girls, been tricked into working at a Japanese silk mill; the girls are literally being transformed into human silkworms. Joy Osmanski narrates the story with the full weight of Kitsune's despair and self-recrimination followed by her embracing of the possibility of metamorphosis. The unbearably creepy and suspenseful "Proving Up," which won the 2012 National Magazine Award for Fiction, involves a pioneer boy who must carry a glass window through a prairie winter blizzard to another homestead in order to get that family the all-important deed of ownership. The boy finds a field full of crosses made of human bones and a monster more frightening than anything he could have anticipated. Jesse Bernstein does a masterly job of voicing this tale, conveying the boy's determination, growing horror, final acceptance of his inevitable fate, and the seeming innocence of the second narrator's final line. Another standout is "The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis," read by Robbie Daymond, which explores the banal brutality of high school bullies toward the missing classmate they mercilessly tormented for reasons unknown even to them. VERDICT Russell's characters all experience bizarre, profound changes that leave listeners with a sense of unease and strangeness thanks to the weird and wonderful worlds she creates. Highly recommended. ["This story collection will be a welcome installment for Russell's fans and is sure to win her many new ones as well," read the review of the Knopf hc,LJ 2/15/13.—Ed.]—B. Allison Gray, Santa Barbara P.L., Goleta Lib., CA

"The band's most collaborative, richly detailed album to date" is typically press release BS, but when it comes to Real Estate, I can believe it. The jangly Jersey bros greatly flushed out their sound in the time between album one, Real Estate, and album two, Days, so expect polished greatness from album three, Atlas, due out March 4th.
Here's the first single, "Talking Backwards," which only proves the increasingly-prettier-with time theory.

Fruit Recipes
Tarte Tatin aux Pommes (Upside down Apple Pie)
Tarte Tatin sounds like a fancy dessert, but really, it's just an upside down caramel apple tart. I made a simple tart shell using dough called pâte brisée. Instead of filling the shell though, I placed slices of apples that were cooked in a caramel sauce into the mold and then covered them with the tart shell. The tarts then went into the oven to cook the shell.
You really should eat these treats almost as soon as they come out of the oven. To plate, just flip each mold and the apples will now be on top. If you wait too long, the caramel will harden and it will be difficult to unmold. If you flip the tart out and let it sit, the crust will get soggy. This has never been a problem at my house because the smell of freshly baking apples always manages to gather the entire family in the kitchen.

Hachiya Persimmons: Incredibly Unique, Incredibly Delicious
Full Recipe...
Caramelized Fuyu Persimmons
Fuyu persimmons are a nice substitute for Granny Smith apples in side dishes. I love caramelizing persimmons and pairing them with roasted duck breast. I don't think a holiday dinner menu can get much more fancy or decadent. We've just had our first crop of Fuyu persimmons this season in our garden, and I decided to take full advantage.
In case you were wondering, there are 2 main varieties of persimmons, Fuyu and Hachiya. The difference is the texture. For this recipe make sure you use Fuyu persimmons, which have are hard, almost carrot-like texture.

Clafouti aux Cerises (Cherry French Flan)
I think clafouti is one of the most commonly found desserts in France after crème brulée.
Clafouti is traditionally made with cherries; the fruit is baked in a custard, flan-like batter. Contrary to crème caramel (which is somewhat like a flan), clafouti is made with flour. Just sprinkle on little powdered sugar before serving and you'll get oohs and ahhs from your guests.
This dessert is my finishing touch to my 4-course "French meal" in honor of the opening of the movie called "Julie and Julia".

Kaffir Lime Ginger Glaze Recipe
I have received many requests for the kaffir lime ginger glaze recipe. I keep forgetting to post it.
The story behind this glaze is kind of funny. I had just made a sweet and sour soup and my mother-in-law came into the kitchen to help clean up. She saw the leftover kaffir lime leaves, picked them up and was about to throw them in the trash. Even though we get our kaffir lim leaves from our garden, it felt like a waste. I shrieked and told her, I told her that I was going to use them. She asked me how I planned on using the leaves since we weren't making any more soup. I had to come up with something fast, so I said that I would use them in the glaze for the apricot tarts that were in the oven.
I added a little ginger to the syrup to balance out the citrus-y flavor of the kaffir lime leaves and I incorporated a little cornstarch to the syrup to get a thicker consistency because typically I use fruit jellies as a glaze. It turned out wonderfully.

As a Senior Art Director on the Zales Account Team, I designed, directed and produced all types of print collateral, from postcards to catalogs to packaging. We created and produced 5-6 catalogs each year for a total of approximately 105 catalogs over 17 years plus all of the support collat [more]

If you make your mind up about your new exercise routine then you must start it seriously. First of all, you must decide that what to types of exercise equipments you would like to have for your self? There are treadmills and exercise bikes that are two most common equipments used by most of the fitness enthusiasts. Exercise bike is one such fitness exercise equipment that will help the user to get a full body exercise.
However, before you buy one for your home, you just need to know few facts about this equipment. You have to know the patterns and features of an exercise bike and then decide which one will be good enough for you. Otherwise your investment will be wasted.
Conventional Upright Exercise Bikes:
This type of cardio exercise bike highly resembles a usual street bike that you can often see on the roads. These bikes have handles, pedals, and a saddle as a seat. At the time of doing exercises on these types of bikes your position resembles the same on an ordinary street bike.
Recumbent Exercise Bicycles:
These types of exercise bikes have seats that look like a chair. The rider needs to seat in a reclining or recumbent position at the time of riding. The bike also provides a backrest in order to support the lower back portion of the user. This type of exercise bike has a unique feature; at the time of pedaling in this recumbent position, the user's legs generally stay forward instead of the conventional downward movement.
Dual Action Exercise Bikes:
Dual action bike is another very popular type of exercise bike. This type of bike has unique quality handle bars which are attached to the pedals of the bike. These feature handle bars are specially designed for your arm's exercise. This type of bike has the ability to give the rider a full-body workout, including your legs, arms and upper body.
Advance Stationary Bikes:
These are advance stationary bikes that are widely used by a number of users. These modern and fashionable interactive exercise bikes have some unique technologies that allow the rider to enjoy not only his exercise session, but also some sort of entertainment and games at the time of riding. Some people love to have this kind of added features in their exercise bikes; on the other hand some people think that these options can distract them while they are doing some serious workouts.
Now, you need to choose the bike as per your requirement. You can choose any of them, but before that you have to be sure about their exclusive features. In terms of effectiveness, all of these bikes are good enough for you. But still individuals can feel different bikes suitable according to their fitness requirement.
You can go online to find out the most reasonable price for these types of bikes. Otherwise you can go to your nearest fitness store where you can get such equipments as well.
If you want to know more about Exercise Bikes then you must read the other articles of Peter Smith.

Dear Mr. Berko: How do companies like Annaly Capital Management pay a dividend of 15.5 percent when mortgages are yielding 5 percent? Would you recommend that I buy 1,000 shares?
I can afford moderate risks if you think Annaly isn't too risky. It's hard to believe that this company pays so much and sells for $l7 a share. — E.W., Moline, Ill.
Dear E.W.: Annaly Capital Mortgage (NLY, 52-week high of $18.99 as of Dec. 18) pays a dividend of $2.72. So a 100-share purchase at $1,750 (includes a commission of $8.95) would give you an annual income of $2,720, an outrageous l5.5 percent yield. And holy guacamole, I'd be buying NLY till Ulysses came home if I thought the dividend was safe.
It ain't!
NLY is a REIT with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, including pass-throughs, CMOs and adjustable-rate, floating-rate and fixed-rate mortgages. The mortgages are guaranteed by government agencies and rated AAA by Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's, the most inept rating agencies in the world.
NLY's objective is to generate income for its shareholders from the spread between the interest income on its mortgages and the borrowing cost to purchase those mortgages. NLY also owns several subsidiaries and advisory services, a brokerage clearinghouse and an asset-management platform for fixed-income institutional clients. And the earnings from these subsidiaries also accrue to the shareholders.
You can make money just like NLY. So, for illustrative purposes, here is how it's done:
Assume that JP-Mug-you sells a $100,000, 30-year, 5 percent mortgage to NLY. NLY invests $20,000 of its own money and arranges a six-month, $80,000 loan from the Fed at 2 percent. The 5 percent mortgage pays NLY $5,000 in interest, NLY pays the Fed $1,600 in interest and the spread between the two, $3,400, is income to NLY, which is a l7 percent return. So after salaries, rent and other expenses, NLY pays shareholders a dandy dividend of 15.5 percent.
You're not connected enough to borrow money at 2 percent nor do you have enough pull with the Fed to leverage 80 percent of your purchase. But you can borrow money from your broker (margin) at 5 percent, and you can leverage 50 percent of your purchase from that broker. So consider buying 1,000 shares of NLY, which will cost you $17,500. And if you margin this purchase, you must deposit 50 percent of cost or $8,750.
Now, 1,000 shares of NLY pay a dividend of $2,720, while interest of 5 percent on the borrowed $8,750 will cost you $438. So the difference between your interest income, $2,720, and your interest costs, $438, is $2,282. And on an investment of $8,750, that's almost a 26 percent annual return.
That's a bankable and guaranteed return as long as you can borrow money at 5 percent and as long as NLY pays a dividend of $2.72 per share. This is called leverage, and holy moly, it certainly beats buying 1,000 shares of NLY for cash and earning a middling l5.5 percent.
According to Credit Suisse, NLY has a book value of $18.18 – about 70 cents more than the stock value – because its mortgages have increased in value. And according to Credit Suisse, the European crisis plus the Fed's second economic stimulus plan make it likely that rates will remain near zero into next year.
According to JMP Securities, the earnings outlook for NLY and other mortgage REITs appear to be solid. However, the voices in the back of my head may not be real, but they often pose interesting questions, such as "What happens if the Fed raises short-term interest rates?" or "Will I be sufficiently vigilant to sell NLY before the Fed raises rates?" or "What will happen to NLY's stock value if management reduces the dividend?" or "What will happen to short-term rates if small-business loan demand picks up?" or "What will happen to interest rates if the economy begins to inflate?"
I don't object to a purchase of 1,000 NLY if you place an open stop with a DNR (do not reduce) at $16.50. This limits your principle loss to $1,000.
Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

20 Bay Area lakes for trout fishing
Published 4:00 am, Friday, November 6, 1998
1998-11-06 04:00:00 PDT SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA -- NEARLY EVERY Bay Area resident will have at least one lake within short range this fall that will be stocked with trout and provide at least the resemblance of hope for fishing. Except, that is, for the one black hole of opportunity
Of 44 Bay Area lakes, 20 will be stocked with trout this fall and winter. Those 20 include eight with bonus stocks of large trout provided by park districts and lake managers, paid for by the sale of daily fishing permits.
Of those eight, Lake Merced North in San Francisco, Del Valle Reservoir south of Livermore, Lake Chabot near Castro Valley and Parkway Lake in Coyote are competing in a "Trout War" to produce a Bay Area record trout this winter - the first 20-pounder ever caught at a Bay Area lake.
The aforementioned black hole of opportunity is on the Peninsula, where there are no public lakes or trout stocks from Lake Merced in San Francisco on south to Stevens Creek Reservoir near Monte Vista (near Cupertino), and where all seven lakes (Upper and Lower Crystal Springs, San Andreas, Pilarcitos, Felt, Searsville and Boronda) are off-limits to the general public.
- Madison Bumgarner San Francisco Chronicle
- Bob Melvin's manager's session Friday San Francisco Chronicle
- Body camera #1: Stephon Clark shooting Sacramento Police Department
- District arms teachers with rocks in case of school shooter Pennsylvania House of Representatives
- Protesters swarm Golden 1 Center KCRA
- Watch as protesters shut down I-5 in Sacramento KCRA
- Visionary Journey, Bishop Swing San Francisco Chronicle
- Andrew%20Triggs%20on%20his%20outing%20Thursday%20 San Francisco Chronicle
- Is there a stigma around tech? Dakota Giglio / SFGATE
- Bay Area brews you have to try Ted Andersen, SFGATE
Here is a capsule listing of the prospects, rated 1-20:
1. Lake Chabot, Castro Valley: Chabot is a "fishy" looking place, with an island, tule-lined bay and several good coves. Results are now matching the looks, with the highest trout plants this fall of any Bay Area lake and good catches on bait at Coot Landing, Indian Cove and The Burner. In the past week, there have been many limits, with catch rates of 3 trout per rod reported several days. No kidding: The lake has a sprinkling of 10-pound trout and 15-pound bass. Chabot covers 315 acres, and is the centerpiece of the surrounding 5,000-acre regional park. No private boats allowed, but rentals available. (925) 248-3474, then press 3; (510) 892-2177.
2. Del Valle Reservoir, Livermore: Del Valle is a big lake, long and narrow with 16 miles of shoreline, big enough for powerboats - and with fish big enough to dream about. It's no sure thing, but catch rates are decent, usually 2 trout per rod, good by shore near the south end (below the inlet) and by boat in The Narrows, near the boat ramp, and the dam. One bugaboo: The lake level has been lowered 15 feet to make room for expected winter rains, so much of the shore is soft and muddy. (925) 248-3474; then press 2; (925) 449-5201.
3. Parkway Lake, Coyote: This pay-to-fish lake ($12 for adults) is just one step above fishing in the hatchery itself. It's a small pond along U.S. 101 south of San Jose, stocked weekly, and produces more big trout than any lake around. It can get crowded on weekends. For ambience, it rates a zero, but for trout, catch rates of 2.5 to 3.5 are common on Thursdays and Fridays after mid-week plants, and trout in the 10-pound class are caught nearly every week. (408) 629-9111.
4. Lafayette Reservoir, Lafayette: Though just 53 acres, this lake is very pretty and provides a good fishery. By boat or shore, the East Cove is the top spot, with periods where catch rates range 2.5 to 3 trout per rod. Surprise: Giant bass in the 10-pound class occasionally shock anglers here, sometimes just by swimming past. (925) 284-9669.
5. Lake Merced, San Francisco: Here is San Francisco's backyard fishing hole, often beleaguered with problems, but now at least with plenty of water and stocks of 14- to 18-inch trout twice a month, paid for by the daily permit. Shore access is good, and boaters can explore plenty of tule-lined shore. Because of the lake's abundant supply of freshwater shrimp, you are best off always using bait, not shrimp. Lake record: 17 pounds, 8 ounces. (415) 753-1101.
6. Shadow Cliffs Lake, Pleasanton: Shadow Cliffs is a squarish-looking, steep-sided lake that was once the water hole for an abandoned rock quarry. It has excellent water clarity, even after heavy rains, and can be the No. 1 lake in the Bay Area after heavy storms muddy up the water at other lakes. The best fishing is almost always near the third dock and along the Panhandle. A new boat ramp and parking area have been completed for the coming season. (925) 248-3474, then press 5; (925) 846-9263.
7. Bon Tempe, Fairfax: After a six-month void, Bon Tempe has been stocked for the first time by the DFG this week since way last spring. This pretty lake responds quickly to plants, often providing good shoreline fishing for a few days, then alas, back to normal. The lake covers 140 acres, set on the north slope of Mount Tamalpais, with access to an outstanding network of hiking trails. No boats allowed. No bonus trophy-size fish. (415) 459-5267.
8. Lake Temescal, Oakland: Little Temescal covers just 15 acres, and because of its size, the small trout here seem to practically jump on the hook after a fresh plant. A good bet for youngsters learning how to fish with bait from the shore. Note that after this area was devastated by the Oakland wildfire of 1991, the park district's rehabilitation project has brought the place all the way back, including a healthy fishery.

Very short and simple question.
Could someone confirm or deny that the 5.1 trinkets can be upgraded now that people are revered? I would prefer a screenshot to show as proof.
I just remember hearing things about Operation: Shieldwall/Dominance Offensive items would not be upgradeable through the valor point upgrade system. But so far, all signs point to that it can be upgraded. As the strength trinket is very much in my interests, I need to know if, in fact, it can be upgraded.
Thank you very much for your time.

From Computed to Crocheted MeshMarch 1, 2005
Hinke Osinga and Bernd Krauskopf of the University of Bristol sent the following responses to questions from SIAM News about their crocheted Lorenz manifold (shown at right, photographed against a white background).
For readers outside the dynamical systems community, could you briefly describe the active research area of computing invariant manifolds?
The behavior of a dynamical system is determined by its "skeleton," which consists of the different attractors (steady states, periodic solutions, or more complicated sets), as well as saddle-type objects with their global stable and unstable manifolds. Global manifolds are complicated objects that must be found numerically. They are hypersurfaces consisting of infinitely many trajectories that end up (or come from) a saddle-type object. All other trajectories qualitatively follow the dynamics given by the "nearest" global manifolds. This feature was recently utilized in the Genesis Mission (http://www.genesismission.org), which sent a spacecraft to a saddle-type periodic orbit around the Lagrange point between the earth and the sun to collect solar dust particles. The spacecraft traveled on global manifolds to its destination and back to earth virtually without any fuel.
How did the crochet instructions come from your algorithm for computing manifolds?
Our algorithm builds up the surface from a central point (the saddle equilibrium at the origin in the Lorenz system) by adding rings of mesh points that lie at equal geodesic distance from this point. (Geodesic distance is the arclength of the shortest path on the surface.) Each new ring (a geodesic level set) is initially built up by finding the mesh points closest to the mesh points on the last ring at a slightly larger geodesic distance. Extra mesh points are then added where appropriate to maintain the quality of the mesh.
We realized that the distance between rings translates to a particular type of crochet stitch (crochet stitches vary in length). Adding a mesh point simply means to add a new stitch.
While this interpretation is fairly straightforward, the information about the three-dimensional coordinates of each mesh point is lost. However, the information on the local curvature of the surface is encoded by how stitches are added (or sometimes removed).
This obviously isn't a case of a vague artistic impression of a scientific phenomenon, but how close is the correspondence?
The correspondence is one-to-one in terms of the number of mesh points (stitches) and where points are added or deleted. The mounted object is
amazingly close to the computer version when mounted properly (as described in The Mathematical Intelligencer).
Mainstream stories about this work mentioned that in crocheting, you gained insight into how chaos arises in the Lorenz system. Is that true?
It is more a case of illustrating and communicating the complicated nature of the system even to nonspecialists. In particular, sensitive dependence on initial conditions (the hallmark of chaotic dynamics) can be explained as the difficulty of deciding on which side of the surface one starts. It must be mentioned that the surface is, in fact, infinitely large and only the first part was crocheted! On the other hand, seeing the object in three dimensions does give a much better impression of its geometry, even for the specialists.
Did you know how great it would turn out as soon as you realized the crochet-ability, or did you have to finish the whole thing?
As soon as we had the idea, we were convinced that the result would be something special. It was not clear from the outset what the object would really look like when crocheted. In fact, as the crocheting progressed, we got more and more worried about how to get it into the desired shape.
The key is to fix the z-axis (which is invariant and part of the manifold) and to insert a stiff flexible wire around the rim of exactly the right length (as determined by the algorithm). To our relief, it turned out that the manifold essentially falls into its desired shape with minimal tweaking. We further stabilized it by weaving a wire along the so-called strong stable manifold. We were delighted at how well everything worked.
As mathematicians, you can't have all that much experience with mainstream media. How have you worked the media into your schedules?
We were really amazed at the international media interest generated by
the press release of 15 December. We certainly did not expect to be on the main news on national TV in both the UK and Russia! We found ourselves spending quite a lot of time answering e-mails and phone calls. Fortunately, the initial media storm happened out of term time. Even now, we are kept quite busy as the interest is shifting to the more scientific press, such as SIAM News.
At the same time, we are also answering many e-mails from the general public, mathematical and crochet experts included. We have already seen pictures of three additional crocheted Lorenz manifolds!

As I grow older and ever more cynical, I find myself wishing for the sickeningly successful people I see on TV to be beset by some small misfortune. Sometimes it would be lovely (in my twisted mind, anyway) to see David Beckham slip in dog poo as he walks down the red carpet, or George Clooney rip his trousers as he collects an Oscar.
And that's the bizarre situation I find myself in with AOL Cars' oh-so-dependable Nissan Qashqai 360 long-termer.
I'm actually hoping for something to go wrong. If I owned it, I'd be delighted that it copes with everything the team throw at it. But I have to write a monthly report about it – and the fact it never lets me down is making my life a nightmare. I'm longing for the day I turn the key and nothing happens. Or the time black smoke starts billowing from the exhaust as I tank down the motorway. But nothing. Nada.
We've wellied it halfway up a mountain, half-sunk it in mud and nearly lost her on a stormy photoshoot near the sea. But the Qashqai never complains, never struggles and never lets you down. That's great news for owners. If you're looking for a stunning car with a Beckham-esque ability to shine in any situation, the Qashqai's probably the car for you. If you're looking to start a career writing a monthly analysis of the niggles motorists are likely to experience, avoid it.
The knowledge
Model: Nissan Qashqai 360
Price: £22,090 (as tested)
Engine: 1.6-litre, turbocharged diesel
Power: 128bhp, 320Nm
Max speed: 118mph
0-60mph: 10.7s
Emissions: 135g/km
Mileage this month: 3,612
This month's highlight
Annoyingly, it is the Qashqai's fantastic reliability – it has never let me down

The solace she sought…
In and out of foster care her whole life, Tiffany Ennis has never had space or privacy, so housesitting a mansion on the coast of Maine with only the absentee rich owner's dog for company is pure bliss. But her peace is shattered when the owner returns to his compound unexpectedly. Devin Gold, known in the music industry as Gold Daddy, is usually in New York City attending drop parties and having women throw themselves at him, and Tiffany wishes he'd stayed there. There's no reason for a top producer to hole up in the middle of nowhere in the dead of winter, yet she finds the sexy bad boy very intriguing.
Even knowing that he's a decade older, filthy rich, and could only want her for his momentary amusement, Tiffany enjoys their intellectual conversations and clever sparring matches. To her shock, Devin returns the interest, in a way that is dark and brooding, yet deeply compelling.
Becomes an affair she never expected…
Even when he hosts beautiful models and famous rock stars from the city in his mansion, he still seems to prefer her company, and is protective when she is anonymously threatened. But how far is Tiffany willing to go with a man who carries secrets, for a love she may not be able to hold onto?
And all the lines between past and present and right and wrong are blurred…

Explain Quattrocchi link, BJP tells Sonia Gandhi
Meeting against the backdrop of reports of Bofors kickbacks, the Bharatiya Janata Party's National Executive on Sunday decided to go after the first family of Congress, alleging that Ottavio Quattrocchi's involvement in the pay-offs lead 'directly to the doorstep of Sonia Gandhi'.
Dubbing 2011 as the year of 'cover-ups' after the year gone by was one of scams, the BJP Executive announced that it will take up the issue of corruption at 'every possible legal forum' and mobilise public opinion about 'corruption of the Congress' by organising rallies.
"We think the way the kickbacks were given, having been very clearly established by the Income Tax appellate authority identifying Ottavio Quattrocchi, who all of us know had enviable access to the then prime minister... takes this whole issue clearly to the doorstep of shrimati Soniaji," party spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said, after the conclave adopted a political resolution which was scathing in its criticism of the Congress and the United Progressive Alliance.
The BJP also sought a clarification from the Gandhi family on its relations with Quattrocchi and his dealings.
Image: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi
'Where is all that money?'
"Therefore, today there is a very clear need for the first family of the Congress to explain where they stand on this. Who was Quattrocchi and what was his link with the household of the then prime minister (Rajiv Gandhi) and if indeed Mr Quattorcchi received the kickbacks, where is all that money," Sitharaman asked.
To a specific question on whether the BJP has decided to target the All India Congress Commitee chief, she said, "The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is a quasi-judicial body which has found Quattrocchi guilty and he has direct and very clear access to the then prime minister. Therefore, what do you expect us to conclude?"
Besides, she said the assertions of former telecom minister A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi, chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, that they had obtained 'due clearances' for cost escalations, leads to the "doorsteps of the Prime Minister's Office".
Image: Ottavio Quattrocchi
'We want a JPC'
"He (PM) also has to come out clean on those clearances... clearances by joint secretaries would not have been sufficient," she said, declaring that corruption in the 2G scam, Adarsh Housing Society scam and Commonwealth Games will also be highlighted.
On whether the BJP's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the 2G issue meant that they will stall the budget session of Parliament, Sitharaman said, "We are very firm on the JPC demand. There is no change in our position."
When asked repeatedly whether the remark means that the main opposition has no plans to work in the budget session, she said, "We have not said that. We want a JPC."
The resolution states that the more documentary proof comes out, the more the government tries to cover them up. "Congress does corruption and then covers that up. For 23 years, the Bofors case was being covered up till the last day," she said.

Is Yeddy bigger than the party's image?
The BJP spokesperson faced a volley of questions related to Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, who is facing charges of land scam, and whether he was 'bigger than the party's image'.
"There is a judicial inquiry going on. The party is also looking into it. We have already said we will take a call," Sitharaman said.
She parried a question on whether the BJP was setting a new kind of precedent by allowing Yeddyurappa to continue in office when a judicial probe was on. "The state government has given you enough inputs... which are self-explanatory. Today, we are talking about tackling the issue of various scandals and scams of the UPA," she said.
The political resolution was moved by Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and was seconded by her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley. Sitharaman replied in the negative when asked whether the issues of the reported confession of Swami Aseemanand and right-wing terror came up for discussion.

'Sonia Gandhi had close association with Quatrochhi'
Veteran BJP leader L K Advani on Sunday said Congress president Sonia Gandhi had a close association with Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, who was a 'regular' at her house.
"Congress president Sonia Gandhi had a close association with Quatrochhi, who was a regular at her house. Though I am not making an allegation against any person, but people should know the details as our image has been internationally tarnished (due to the Bofors pay-off scam)," Advani told a National Democratic Alliance rally at the conclusion of the BJP national executive meet.
"It is common knowledge that the Bofors issue was suppressed by the government. Even the Income Tax Tribunal had pointed out Quatrochhi had taken commission from Bofors and he should be taxed accordingly, but the CBI suppressed it," Advani alleged.
"Our image has been tarnished. I appeal to the prime minister to either protest or order further investigation," he said.

No kissing until she is 16Visitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
i'm turning in April.I've been very disloyal to my mom lately.I've been doing things that i'm not supose to.I'm not aloud to kiss untill i'm 16 and i already did last year.I've some how been ending up lying to her, and she really trusts me.
If she finds out... that i've been kissing she'll get pretty mad.Ive tried to stop but i don't want the guys to think that i'm some woos. Please help me before it goes any further.i've also got a problem with being boy crazy.In other words, i always end up talking about a boy,going out with one, and so on...
RomanceClass.com Advice
It is too bad that your mother made that rule. It is too strict, in my opinion and makes you lie to her. You are a normal teenager and kissing comes naturally. As far as boy-crazy, most teenagers think about the opposite sex much of the time so don't think you are crazier than most other girls :-)
Good luck,
-- from George

I really believe that's where this offense is going, a true mix of power WC, pistol read-option and spread formations with multiple WRs/TEs.
JH's thinking is that the more you make a D prepare for different formations, the less effective their preparation will be.
Harbaugh is like an artist as coach. He will use whatever works given the players abilities on the team. Was listening to NFLN and one of my favorite pundits, Warren Sapp, mentioned coaches trying to force players into schemes that did not highlight their strengths. He thought it was very counter productive. I agree and believe great coaches can morph their schemes around the players talent--for the most part.
Totally agree that JH will never relent from overwhelming the opposition with multiple sets and movement...yeah!
Agree. I love our coaching staff and what they are doing and continuing to do with our team.

Story highlights
- A scan of First Lady Michelle Obama's passport was posted online
- The emails in question belonged to a contractor who was hired for individual advance jobs
Washington (CNN)The White House is investigating the apparent hack of an email account belonging to a low-level contractor that purportedly contained a scan of Michelle Obama's passport and information about vice presidential travel.
An image that appeared to be of the first lady's passport was posted online.
"I can tell you that administration officials are taking a look at the information that has been disclosed," said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest Thursday. "We take any reports about any cyberbreach seriously, particularly if it may include some sensitive information. At this point, I can't speak to the authenticity of the information released.
"At this point, I cannot announce any sort of conclusion that has been reached about the individual or individuals who may have been responsible for the cyberbreach of this information," Earnest said.
He couldn't confirm the authenticity of the passport scan, and said the emails in question belonged to a contractor who was hired for individual advance jobs, and was not a full-time White House staffer.
The rest of the published emails contained largely mundane information about White House logistics.
The group that posted the information, DCLeaks, was also responsible for publishing Colin Powell's emails last week.
A spokeswoman for the US Secret Service said the agency "is aware of the alleged email hacking of a White House employee. The Secret Service is concerned any time unauthorized information that might pertain to one of the individuals we protect, or our operations, is allegedly disclosed. As a matter of policy, we do not provide information regarding investigations."

On Monday, the 6-foot-5, 323-pound right tackle and several 49ers teammates visited the nursery at a children's hospital outside Youngstown, Ohio, and Davis' eyes widened as a nurse handed him a premature infant to rock.
Perhaps 20 minutes later, as Davis prepared to leave, his I'm-not-too-sure-about-this expression had vanished and he smiled.
How did it go?
"I think I did OK for my first time," he said.
At 22, the unmarried Davis may not be ready for diaper duty, but he's proving to be quite precocious when it comes to his 9-to-5 job.
The No. 11 overall pick in the 2010 draft, Davis hasn't surrendered a sack or a quarterback hit in the season's first thee games, according to Pro Football Focus, and has yet to be penalized. In addition, he's helped paved the way for a rushing attack that ranks seventh in the NFL in yards per game (141.0) and third in yards per attempt (5.4).
In other words, Davis is maturing into what the 49ers hoped he could become when they drafted him, at 20, more than two years ago: one of the NFL's best at his position.
"In my opinion he's one of the premier right tackles in the game," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "You've got a guy who's got all the athleticism that you look for. A power player. He finishes. He's good in pass protection. A tremendous athlete. So he's got all the tools."
Ryan will get an in-person look Sunday as Davis makes a triumphant return to his home state when the 49ers visit the Jets. Davis grew up in Piscataway, N.J., and played at Rutgers, about 35 miles away from MetLife Stadium.
Davis surrendered 11 sacks while starting all 16 games as a rookie, when he wasn't of legal drinking age until the season's sixth game. Last year, he allowed 10 sacks while struggling to master the new offensive system installed by Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
"He's a totally different player," running back Frank Gore said. "These first three games, he's been balling. He's come a long way. I think he's just comfortable with the offense and now he's just playing football. He's doing what he was doing in college. He always had the dogness … I knew he was going to be alright his rookie year because of how mean and how nasty he was."
Davis can even flash his, um, dogness off the field. When asked about Ryan's lofty praise, Davis doesn't snarl. But he also doesn't smile.
He is wary of praise, believing it could inspire complacency. He also takes most pats on the back as backhanded compliments, explaining that his personal far expectations exceed what others could set for him.
"I can see the film," Davis said. "I've gotten better. But one day I want (Ryan) to say I was the best he's ever seen. Not like 'Oh, he's good.'"
** Nose guard Isaac Sopoaga (ankle, knee) didn't practice this week, but he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Sopoaga almost certainly won't play, but Jim Harbaugh, as you know, doesn't like to tip his hand.
Harbaugh said running back Brandon Jacobs (knee) and wide receiver Ted Ginn (ankle) are coming along well, but both are listed as questionable after being limited in practice this week.
Tight end Vernon Davis (back) appeared on the injury report today, but was a full participant in practice. Davis is probable.
** Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill (hamstring) is doubtful and linebacker Bart Scott (toe) and tight end Dustin Keller (hamstring) are among those listed as questionable. Scott finished last week's game against Miami with a hyperxtended toe.
