In many parts of North America, robins are the harbingers of spring, a breath of warm fresh air at the end of a long deep freeze, a sweet song at the twilight of winter.
What, then, were 30 of these red-breasted day brighteners with a song doing in our Michigan backyard on Valentine's Day?
Are we to expect an early spring?
No one knows for sure but these early birds certainly captured our attention, bringing pleasant possibilities to mind.
And that's a good example for us all.
A few years ago, Krystle Nyquist was the star relief pitcher for the Foxes, a Lemont, Ill., Little League softball team when she was called on to pitch in the third inning of the season opener.
The foxes were trailing 6-1 when she came to the pitcher's mound but her arm was so good over the next five innings, her team pulled off an 11-8 victory.
Krystle's pitching pleased the crowd, but what really captured their attention was the duct tape covering the name of her team's sponsor, a local bar.
"I hate alcohol, and if I wore the uniform as it was given to me, I would have become a walking billboard for the bar," she said.
Local officials said the tape made Krystle out of uniform and told her she had to remove the tape or face suspension.
This 14-year-old ace reliever explained she had lost her grandfather because of cirrhosis brought on by acute alcoholism and argued drinking was so offensive to her that she simply couldn't conform to their demands.
Even the threat of suspension for the season if she didn't comply could not move her to compromise her convictions.
In 1921, Lewis Lawes became the warden at Sing Sing Prison. No prison was tougher than Sing Sing at that time.
When Warden Lawes retired, some 20 years later, however, Sing Sing had become a different place.
Writing of the change, Tim Kimmel says it had become an institution where humanitarian treatment changed the lives of the inmates. Those who studied the success at Sing Sing said the credit belonged to Lawes, but he said he owed all his success at the prison to his wife, Catherine, who by then was buried outside the walls.
Catherine Lawes was a young mother of three small children when her husband became the warden at Sing Sing, having plenty to do without getting involved in the problems of hardened criminals, but she was determined to make a difference in their lives and set out to do so.
"My husband and I are going to take care of these men," she said. To Catherine, this meant studying their records and finding ways to change them.
Observers said it was as if Jesus walked the halls of Sing Sing from 1921 to 1937, lovingly ministering to men who had neither known nor shown much love up to that time.
When Catherine died in a car crash, a crowd of tearful convicts was granted permission to walk to her funeral, about a mile from the prison, to show their love for one who dared brave the dangers of Sing Sing to show the love of Christ to them.
Those who refuse to compromise their convictions and are able to hate sin while loving sinners, are rare birds.
If we can develop enough of them, people will flock to the churches to learn how to keep working and singing even when storms come.

UN says Ethiopian troops occupied buffer zone
By Tsegaye Tadesse
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - The United Nations said on Thursday
Ethiopian troops had occupied a demilitarized buffer zone set
up to separate Ethiopian and Eritrean armies, in a move likely
to raise tension along their volatile border.
security zone (TSZ) -- buffer zone -- for five days from
Saturday until Wednesday, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Mission in
Ethiopia and Eritrea said.
There was no immediate comment from Ethiopia.
Nearly 3,300 U.N. peacekeepers monitor the buffer zone as
part of the 2000 peace accord ending Ethiopia and Eritrea's
two-year border war that killed more than 70,000 people.
"The Ethiopian troops, which numbered about 20, said they
entered into the TSZ because they were concerned after U.N.
troops vacated the strategic location," Gail
Bindley-Taylor-Sainte told reporters.
Peacekeepers movements have been restricted since October 5
when Eritrea banned U.N. helicopter flights and other
activities, resulting in around 60 percent of peacekeepers
withdrawing unable to do their work.
The spokeswoman said the Ethiopian troops were stationed
about five kilometers from the Ethiopian border on the
Bure-Bada road, considered by military experts to be a highly
strategic position due to its high altitude.
Recent military maneuvers involving troops, tanks and air
defense missiles on both sides of the unmarked 1,000-km
(620-mile) frontier have fueled fears of a repeat of the war.
Sainte said due to the troop movements in and around the
buffer zone, the military situation remained tense and
potentially volatile, adding that she hoped a U.N. Security
Council resolution would make a difference.
The Council on Wednesday called on both countries to draw
down their military forces facing each other across the buffer
zone within 30 days and urged the Eritrean government to end
its restrictions on peacekeeping activities.
The Security Council also expressed "grave concern" that
Ethiopia had failed to fully accept the binding ruling of an
international commission on the disputed border.
The measure expressed the council's "determination to
consider further appropriate measures," including economic
sanctions, if either side failed to comply.

After their draw with Tottenham, Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes says they intend to play a more attacking style of game for the remainder of the season.
Rovers can now afford to drop few points and in explaining Saturday's half-time decision to replace defender Andre Ooijer with the more attack-minded Brett Emerton, Hughes made his approach clear.
"We will try to be positive in the last four or five games where we feel we can be.
"It wasn't to be against a good Spurs side who are probably better than their league position shows, but I thought we were more than a match for them.
"Spurs had the better of the opening part of the game but I felt we acquitted ourselves more than well.
"We are still above a Spurs team that has been invested very heavily in, still above them in the Premier League. That's a feather in our cap I suppose."

Ripon High proved it could hang with reigning Trans-Valley League champion Escalon in its conference opener in the North Gym on Tuesday, but the Indians also showed how it can sometimes be their own worst enemy.
They at least showed some fight in extending the match after dropping a well-contested second set. Ripon lost in four — 18-25, 24-26, 25-17, 14-25.
"It's a heartbreaker, I'm not gonna lie," Ripon coach Adrienne Uecker said. "I really believed that things were going to go differently tonight. I knew that Escalon was going to play us tough and they are coached very well, but … we had too many unforced errors and that is what hurt us."
Paige Goodger went toe-to-toe with Escalon's Cassidy Caton and narrowly outpointed her on kills, 13-12. Kylie Stevens set 12 assists for Ripon, Kristen Carhart had seven blocks and Jourdy Richter served four aces. Libero Danny Arteaga led all players with 29 digs.
Taylor Laugero finished with 20 assists and five aces for the Cougars (2-0, 8-4). She and Caton are returning all-league selections.
"I am very proud of my girls for extending the second set and taking the third the way they did," Uecker said. "We had the momentum and we were playing very close to error-free at the time. We have something we have to work out, and I look forward to seeing them again and changing the way things ended."

I support that tag.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: The end
I was disappointed by the fact I had to wait a year, but I didn't mind. The fact I could say "I do BJJ and Kickboxing" was awesome, and in my mind, I wasn't lying. During these days, I transformed into a bigger BJJ promoter than the Gracies. Everyone I met knew about BJJ, how it was superior to striking, and was the only true art. I submitted my neighbors, friends, cousins, anyone who was foolish enough to let me grapple them. These sweet, innocent days turned into weeks, into months. Life was normal.
6 months after the seminar, there was another Smack down at H town. I decided to enter while I still could be in the child division. Maybe I could finally win a Go-cart.
I navigate my way into the finals. I step up to find, you guessed it. Finger breaker. We stare at each other like old firemen drinking buddies; we both know that there will be rough times ahead, but the comraderie still brings a single tear to my eye. We shake hands; we don't do the stupid slap, but a hearty hand shake. And so it begins.
He goes for a shoot, I sprawl. He tries to arm flip me; he fails again, as he did the previous year. I fail the back mount, and we somehow end up in my guard. I'm relieved to find he didn't receive takedown points, so it's even. He tries to pass, but by this time, it's too late. He's fallen into the "bear trap guard", nick named by my training partners. My legs are impervious to the driving elbow guard, and I anaconda squeeze him. He tries the stand-up-and-choke-me-with-my-own-gi pass, but I pull him down to the ground with my legs. After he settles down, I grab one of his arms with both of mine. He instinctively goes for the fore-arm on neck, and tries to push an arm down. I push the elbow across, and go for the arm and neck choke. I squeeze, squeeze like there's a Go-cart or scooter on the line, because there is.
He desperately struggles, but I only tighten both my guard and my hold. I stretch him out, stretch, streeeeeeeeeetch. There's less than 20 seconds left. I have to submit him, or he'll beat me in the tie round with his stamina. Squeeeeeeeeeeze. He won't tap. Time is running out. Squuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeeee. His resistance is less now, but there's only 10 seconds left. Squeeeeeee-
The ref comes over and taps me on the shoulder. I was staring at the clock, and I didn't see that Finger Breaker, raper of worlds, taker of prizes, was tapping.
I had won. I had won first place. The prizes, the trophy, but what's more, the glory.
In the end, all I got was glory. This year, Smackdown had discontinued the Go-carts or scooters. There were no prizes. On top of that, there weren't trophies, but medals. I'm pissed off, but to beat the legendary finger breaker? That is victory enough in itself.
I show up super early to the next BJJ class, excited to show off my 1st place medal. I get there, and the door is unlocked. I let myself in, and look around for the instructor. In retrospect, I don't know why I didn't just say "Hey, you here?". I just kept looking around, silently.
I walked back towards his office, and saw something puzzling. On his computer monitor I see a title of "On the farm". What?
I slow down my approach.
He's doing something; I can't tell what. It looks like he's scratching or something.
I stop in my tracks.
Horror takes over, and I feel sick. On the screen is a woman being violated by a goat, and I begin to silently back up. My instructor, in his dojo, is masturbating.
I walk as silently as I ever have in my entire life back to the front door, and pretend to open it loudly. I scream "Hey, I got 1st place over the weekend!" I sure as hell don't want him to know I saw him wacking it. I don't know why, but I don't.
It sounds like he knocks over his desk
"Oh, hey, I'll be out in a second, don't come back here, I'm getting changed"
That's horribly disgusting. Or at least I thought it was.
He walks out, and congrats. He hasn't washed his hands.
He waits, sitting on the mat, warming up. He starts class.
He hasn't washed his hands.
He wants a volunteer for a move.
He hasn't washed his hands.
As he demonstrates a collar choke on an unsuspecting friend, all I can think is "Penis hands on your face dude!"
I finish the class without being touched by the instructor. A personal victory. Within the following weeks, he bumps me up to the advanced adult for my success over Finger Breaker. I'm not really as excited about this promotion. All I can do is count the months/weeks/days until I'm 16 for that sweet, sweet blue belt. The instructor reminds me many times during these months/weeks/days about how I will get it. I can't wait.
Finally, I turn 16. It's awesome, but now I'm waiting for the next seminar.
Finally, it's time. The seminar. He shows up like the hobo he usually looks like, but I'm ready. I excitedly greet him.
The techniques he goes over are the exact same as the previous two, but it doesn't matter. I'm getting promoted.
My little brother and the instructors son get scolded for being too loud in the back room. I don't care, because I'm getting promoted.
Finally, promotion time. The seminar is over! My friends, one by one, get belts, stripes, whatever. Then the instructor gets his stripe. I take notice that, for some reason, the friends of the instructor get blue belts yet have been training less time than I have, and, well, suck more than I do. But I don't care, because I'm about to get a blue belt. Then people leave. I laugh, hardy har har. Funny joke. Where's my promotion?
Seriously, where's my promotion?
Some of the adults from the adult beginner/advanced also ask me where my belt is. I reply I don't know, I was supposed to get it, but I didn't. One of my particularly best buds says, "Hold on, I'll figure this out." The instructor walks back out, a little angry.
"Look dude, I'm not going to give you the belt. I think you need to train harder. You just don't seem blue belt material."
I'm furious. I go home, and relay this message to my parents. My dad calls him, and asks why I didn't get one. I hear over the phone "What a fuckin' baby, look, he isn't getting one." This sends my dad into a furious rage, and many words are exchanged.
Days later, the instructor and his wife separate. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll go back. His wife, who has custody over the son, is letting the son stay over at our house while she is getting ready to move in with her mom. My little brother and the instructors son play for the better part of the day.
The phone rings, and it's the instructor's son's house. I assume it's his mother, and give it to him. I see his face confused, and suddenly he starts crying. He gives the phone to me; it's the instructor. "Yea, I don't think your brother and my son should be friends any more."
"Whatever dude, I don't really care. Talk to your wife. Don't call here again."
The instructor's son tells my brother what the instructor said, and they both begin to cry. They were honestly best friends, which sucks for them. Obviously I can never return; not because he called me a baby, or didn't give me what I deserved. However corny it may sound, my brother is the fucking bomb, and anyone who is a jerk to him is on the stern end of an ass kicking. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm still pissed off about this.
Various things happen; the mom comes back over and picks up the son. The son and my brother say their farewells, which is pretty fucking sad. We did not leave on good terms.
Weeks later I enroll at a branch of elite martial arts, and find it to be the best experience in my life. The instruction is top notch, quality, with what I would now dub high percentage techniques. After about a year, the instructor moves the school further away, and I simply can't make it to class any more. The travel time combined with the class length is taxing my grades, which will get me raped. School takes top priority, or so I'm told by my parents.
To remedy this, I enroll at a Shaolin kung fu school each Saturday and Sunday for an hour. I am ecstatic; it's freakin' shaolin!

Holy poop, Shaolin! Did you get to train at the Shaolin Temple on Bellaire, or run afoul of any Chinese gangsters?
I'm waiting on pins and needles for this exciting new book in the MrBadGuy Series.

Haha, holy crap, I actually tried out the classes at Bellaire. The guy, nick named "Iron mountain" was a total hard ass. He had people polishing their staff most of the class, and there was no AC. In Houston. During summer.
I ended up going to the one on industrial (I think?) drive.

I went to the good BJJ school for about a year. I really enjoyed it there; I'm actually thinking about looking that guy back up, see what he's up to. He was such a great teacher (Doug Vaughn), it would almost be worth it to hire the guy for just private lessons.

2/11/2008 3:24am, #210Even if you're wrong, how did you track that down enough to be convinced it's Alvarado? Is he the only Caique-affiliated high-ranked guy in Houston?

Hmmmm well it all started with the realisation that we girls ain't talking to each other much these days. Thanks to the time differences and N number of work that keeps us busy and juda juda.. ..and PM doesn't help much, cause well we are damn lazy people here and YM is hardly used by certain creatures. And Again we realised we have a lot of new serials to talk about these days and every other forum will take that as spamming, so to have uninterrupted discussion and to freely and whole heartedly speak in any language possible ( read Bengali ) and annoy the hell out of everyone who doesn't know Bengali , (specially read the Gujjus), and to get back all the friends who may not get time to go anywhere on the Net but definitely has time to come to IF cause oh well they are addicted if not to the show, but definitely to us. We thought of making a CC where we all can come and talk and gossip, and play the fool without any restriction whatsoever..So come and join us ONLY IF u know us (Check the Members List to see if you are a friend of us),and have been missing us for a long time.
1. You must SPAM SPAM SPAM!
2. You must have fun and tease each other to death.
3. You must speak Non-sense.
4. And please be regular!
Anyone who knows one of the original members of this CC is allowed here. Otherwise, you are not allowed in this CC. Not keeping it as

Lunar Meteorite Joins Herbie Hancock's Martian Rock Sale
Four decades ago, Apollo missions hauled over 840 pounds of moon rocks back to Earth for scientific evaluation. None of the dozen astronauts who collected the samples received a personal specimen -- not even the late Neil Armstrong.
Nor has anyone else, for that matter: The rocks are considered National Treasures. Hypothetical appraisals suggest that even a tiny one, if made available, would be worth millions of dollars.
On Oct. 14, you can still purchase your own piece of the moon, however. Heritage Auctions is putting 127 meteorite lots valued at more than $2 million on the block at the Fletcher- Sinclair Mansion in New York. The featured item: A four-pound lunar meteorite expected to fetch over $340,000. Heritage calls the piece "worthy of the most important natural history museums in the world." Pre-bidding has already reached $170,000.
Granted, this specimen wasn't brought to Earth by an astronaut, a reason it is less valuable than say the Apollo samples, says Geoffrey Notkin, author of "Rock Star: Adventures of a Meteorite Man."
Rather, it was blasted out of the lunar surface by a collision with an ancient asteroid, traveled to Earth in the form of a meteor and eventually survived a fiery entry into its atmosphere.
Moon Origin
A moon rock is a moon rock, whether it has human historical significance or not. This one, called Dar al Gani 1058, is the largest lunar meteorite ever offered at auction. When it was found in 1998 in Libya, geologic and chemical testing confirmed its lunar origins. It forms part of only 135 pounds of lunar material available on Earth outside of the Apollo cache.
Not surprisingly, because of the rarity of space rocks, a good market exists for them. The total world inventory is roughly equivalent to the annual production of gold, less than 3,000 tons. Metallic meteorites, the type most commonly found, average just a few dollars per gram, while specimens from the moon, like DaG 1058, or from Mars, command $1,000 to $2,000 per gram.
Most meteorites don't originate on the moon or Mars (hence are cheaper), but come from the plentiful asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars where, scientists say, a small planet may once have existed.
Heavy Metal
The heaviest -- metallics, mostly of iron and nickel --come from that hypothetical planet's center (core); the stony-irons from its middle (mantle); and the stones from its surface (crust).
A 63-pound Sikhote-Alin from the asteroid belt is expected to sell for between $25,000 and $32,000 at the Heritage auction. The wrinkled gray metallic is part of a large witnessed fireball over eastern Siberia in 1947. Because the event was so recent, the piece is in superb condition (no rust). Owners can see "sculpting" done by the atmosphere, what meteorite collectors call thumb prints.
"It really is nature's art," says Notkin, a longtime meteorite collector and member of The Explorers Club. "Not only is it a marvelous messenger from deep space, but a functional process of our planet. Without friction from our atmosphere causing the surface to melt during entry, it never would have acquired those stunningly beautiful features."
Chilean Desert
Notkin has consigned some of his own pieces to Heritage: a triangular 66.5-pound Muonionalusta from Sweden which contains the rare mineral stishovite and is thought to be the oldest meteorite found on earth (more than 800,000 terrestrial years); a 0.33-pound Vaca Muerta stony-iron found in Chile's Atacama Desert; and a 1.5-pound Seymchan from Siberia.
The Muonionalusta ($7,000-$9,000) and Vaca Muerta ($3,000- $4,000) were found by Notkin and co-host Steve Arnold while filming their Discovery Channel show Meteorite Men. The Seymchan ($3,000-$4,000) is a stony-iron from Notkin's personal collection and features beautiful green and black olivine crystals.
Some pieces in the sale are quite reasonable, depending upon size, type, origin and condition. Notkin, for example, is also listing a two-pound Canyon Diablo from the world's most famous meteor crater in Arizona. Priced at less than $1,000, the rust brown metallic is a relative bargain for those of us who are not rich.
Herbie Hancock
Other auction highlights include a meteorite that resulted in the only documented fatality - a cow - and a piece of the famous Peekskill fireball that fell 20 years ago near New York and hit the trunk of a Chevy Malibu. But the "Herbie Hancock Meteorite," from Mars, is especially interesting to collectors -- and musicians.
Found in Algeria's Sahara Desert in 2005, this rarity is expected to fetch between $7,500 and $9,000. Although small (just 4 grams), its surface displays the glossy "burnt-sugar" fusion crust of the most coveted Martian meteorites.
Besides being from the red planet, it has another provenance: Musician Herbie Hancock carried the rock in his pocket in at the 25th Anniversary Gala Celebration of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz in 2011. All proceeds from the sale will go to the institute.

Facebook abuse is rampant! We all know at least one person whose status updates never cease to annoy orbewilder. Or how about that chick who is constantly inviting you to engage in a mafia war? And seriously, I am thisclose to defriending a friend from junior high who insists on tagging photos of me in braces. But Facebook abusers aren't just hurting the innocent — they're also seriously ruining their own dating game. Check out the 10 biggest dating mistakes people make on Facebook.1. Your Relationship Status Is Giving Me Whiplash.There's nothing more exciting and dramatic than an off-and-on relationship. You fall madly in love — update status to "in a relationship." You get in a big fight! — update status to "it's complicated." You have awesome makeup sex — back to "in a relationship." But then you break up in the morning — suddenly "single." But then he sends you roses two months later and begs for you back! Guess who's "in a relationship"? Congratulations, your love life sounds exciting — your manically flip-flopping Facebook status updates, however, are embarrassing.
2. The Royal "We." Oh hai. Did Facebook start a special section for couples? No? Then why do all of your updates use "we" instead of "I"? "We loved last night's 'Modern Family'!" Ugh, stop it.
3. Hint, Hint, Hint. Using your status update to send someone a cryptic message is way creepy. It's also way obvious to every single one of your friends that you are sending a message to someone, even though we may not know who. It is also sending a great message to other dudes — that you're too immature to be direct and not play games.
4. Look At How Happy We Are!!! A few photos of you and your boo lookin' lovey dovey are sweet. Entire albums devoted to your picture-perfect love are nauseating. They're also a pain in the ass to delete when he dumps you for his coworker.
5. These Are The Mundane Days Of Our Lives. Similar to #2, using your Facebook status messages to tell the world what boring, mundane activity you're up to is doubly annoying when you make sure to specify you're doing it with your honeybunch. So "Amelia and Ryan Gosling are making hot cocoa!" Who cares?
6. Too Much, Too Soon. Posting photos of the two of you together two weeks into dating? Yikes. Changing your relationship status before the two of you have even discussed the subject yet? Writing "best date ever!" on his wall for everyone to see 24 hours after you went out for the first time? This relationship will be over before it's begun.
7. RevengeCentral.com. Get revenge on your ex by deflating his tires or "forgetting" to forward his final jury duty reminder. Using Facebook to get back at the person who broke your heart — by writing accusatory wall notes or tagging photos where they look ugly — is just immature.
8. Posting A TMI Status Update. "Best. Sex. Ever!" does not communicate to the opposite sex that you are a hot commodity — it just says you kiss and tell on social networking sites. Likewise, "PMSing mega hard" isn't going to get you a date that week either.
9. This Isn't Couples Therapy. Seriously, we've seen so many couples use their Facebook walls to fight or nag each other. Likewise, while it's cute to see all those congratulations when you announce your engagement on Facebook, your friends simply do not know what to type when you announce your divorce. Except, maybe, "UNSUBSCRIBE."
10. Friending Friends Of Boyfriends. Whether it's a crush's bestie or your ex's new girlfriend, friending someone on Facebook who you are not friends with in real life, just to get into or stay within a dude's inner circle, is psychopants.

This week marked the beginning of black bear hunting season. No, the bears are not hunting. I tried to explain this to Becky's horses, but they were not convinced. They were sure that they had seen a bear....and if this is the first day of bear season, they were also sure that this bear was hunting! All eyes were riveted to that large black, lumbering form in the goat pen. "Hey goats.....BEWARE......DANGER!!!!!!" they snorted.Chip showed no concern and kept eating his dinner. "Well," he said, "That's a mighty funny looking bear with that long tale!"
Even the chickens weren't alarmed. After all, they had all seen this four legged, black, drooling creature before...and it had never caused them any harm.
This is Maddie, my Newfie and my friend. She loves to help with chores, but most days napping takes precedence. This day, however, being the first day of bear season, she decided to see what all the fuss was about. I kept her by my side all day....no roaming in the woods during hunting season. Our woods are all posted, but you just never know....and we don't take chances with our Maddie!

It's Bear Season

What a big, beautiful doggie! Maddie looks very huggable. Is she an outside dog or does she get to live inside with the family? Many years ago we had a German Shepherd, Dusty, who we lost to bone cancer at age 7. Dusty had 2 coats of fur and because he was a house dog he shed fur all year. We had fur everywhere. But when you love them you put up with the fur. I know that my BIL is probably hunting in PA (western PA). Hunters do go onto land that is posted so be careful.

Clif Bar Chocolate Chip or Chocolate Brownie?
It's an imperfect thing to have a Clif Bar for breakfast. It's better than a chocolate chip cookie or a chocolate brownie, to be sure, but not as nourishing as… oh heck, a lot of breakfast foods aren't very nourishing, are they?
Still, let's say that you're left with the choice of a Clif Bar for breakfast or no breakfast at all. Also, you're faced with the decision of whether to have the chocolate brownie Clif Bar and the chocolate chip Clif Bar. What do you do?
My suggestion is to go with the chocolate chip Clif Bar. This flavor feels as much like oatmeal as like anything chocolate, and that relative lack of intensity goes well with a cup of coffee. The chocolate brownie bar is too thick with chocolatiness deal with first thing in the morning. It feels more like work than an uplifting little meal.
Nutrionally, both bars are about the same, given that they've both been through the same pharmafood mixers to get the 15 percent recommended Molybdenum.

ANY city and county in Zhejiang Province, including Hangzhou, will be fined up to 5 million yuan (US$814,985) as of 2015 if PM2.5 readings fail the air quality standard, the provincial government announced.
PM2.5 means particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, the main cause of urban smog.
Local officials began to collect PM2.5 data in January 2012. Each city and county will be rated on four levels: excellent, good, fair and poor. The governments of cities or counties that earn ratings above poor will get a bonus of up to 5 million yuan.
New industrial projects that may cause air pollution will not be allowed in areas with a poor PM2.5 rating unless local authorities are able to bring down their PM2.5 levels for two consecutive quarters.

Today, while taking a walk through the market, a most pleasant surprise awaited us in the most unexpected of places.
Michou, a wisp of a deli in the Pike Place Market, is usually a destination for salads, moon-shaped sandwiches, and crazy-delicious calzones. But now, there's a whole new reason to go there: Cupcakes!
Available in an alternating cast of flavors like Coconut Buttercream, Lemon, and classic chocolate and vanilla, the cupcakes are $2.50 and nearly perfect–creamy frosting, moist, rich cake, and so jauntily decorated that you can't help but smile. A sweet find indeed.
Looks like the Pike Place Market just got sweeter!

The SATs – or Standard Assessment Tests – started this week in some English schools. Many schools are boycotting the tests on the advice of trade unions, because they don't feel they're of any use. And who knows whether the new coalition government will choose to keep the tests? The Conservatives and the Lberal Democrats both said in the run-up to the election that they planned to reform SATs, but we don't know yet what form that will take.
My six -year-old is in Year Two at Infant School, and I asked him if he knew about any extra tests or special work they were doing. He had no idea what I was on about and asked me what was for tea.
And really that's as it should be – SATs at this stage are an assessment done by the teacher in such a low-key way that children won't know whether they've taken them or not. If you're worried, don't be.
I know it's a bit weird to think of your six- or seven-year-old being involved in some kind of school test, but it really is no big deal so please don't fret about it. I've written a longer feature here specially for parents of Year Two children who are concerned about SATs.
SATs tests for Year 6 pupils do take the form of a 'proper' exam, with more formal preparation and test papers to be filled in. Therefore these children may be more prone to stress over this process. Please reassure your child that there is no 'pass' or 'fail' with these tests – their purpose is to see how your child is doing compared with other children of their age. It's also a way of assessing teachers to see that they're doing all they should.
Keep up with all your child's normal activities during SATs season. Make sure they get a decent night's sleep and a good breakfast. There are past papers available to buy or download, but you don't really need to do this, they aren't A Levels. Keep calm and carry on, and encourage your child to do the same.
What do you think about SATs? Are you or your child worried about them? Do you think they should be abolished? Leave a comment below.

These layout changes improve the look-and-feel of the site and make it easier for our users to find content. They also help new users to better understand Business Wire's various products and offerings
NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 11, 2008
Multimedia and Sharing:
The first part of the website enhancement involved multimedia on Business Wire.com. The new multimedia gallery on the press release pages now includes all multimedia assets associated with the release. This enables more exposure to each asset immediately when users land on the page, which in turn can lead to increased asset views as well as media and blogsphere pick-up for photos, video, audio, logos, graphics, and more.
Additionally, new web2.0-style navigation menus in the multimedia gallery allow each of the various user groups that access businesswire.com to easily and quickly find the kind of multimedia format they need, using only one click. When hovering over a multimedia asset, the user can immediately see all the options to interact with that asset. For example, journalists can easily access high resolution downloadable multimedia files, bloggers can quickly find embeddable and linkable media, and end-users enjoy immediate viewing options.
The upgrade also includes a new Business Wire branded video player that allows a better viewing experience on BusinessWire.com, offers sharing options for bloggers to link to and embed videos on their own sites, and shows detailed video views on the measurement reports Business Wire provides its clients.
The website redesign portion of the project included creating a cleaner page layout that makes better use of white space on the page, reorganization of content categories, and highlighting Business Wire's core services on the home page. According to Mark Wehrmeister, VP of Web Services, "These layout changes improve the look-and-feel of the site and make it easier for our users to find content. They also help new users to better understand Business Wire's various products and offerings".
BusinessWire.com now also serves as an anchor for new country-specific sites, including http://www.businesswire.fr and http://www.businesswire.de, while continuing to offer language-specific navigation on the main site.
The third part of the website upgrade is search and user accessibility. Wehrmeister adds: "as part of our continuous SEO efforts, we've updated the way we tag content with page titles and keywords, to make them more visible to search engines; we also switched to a unified URL structure that helps search engines identify unique content and allows more accurate traffic measurement."
Additional accessibility changes include simplifying the website code to allow faster loading times, and optimizing the Business Wire website for the most recent versions of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. The accessibility upgrades are expected to improve search visibility of press releases submitted via Business Wire, and provide a better user experience for visitors on BusinessWire.com.
Finally, the redesign included new sharing features on the BusinessWire.com press release pages. A new short permalink makes linking to BW content easier. New sharing options to save content on Google and Yahoo! Bookmarks join the bookmarking links Business Wire previously introduced to social news and bookmarking sites such Digg and Del.icio.us.
Business Wire Website Upgrade Highlights:
-- New full multimedia gallery on the press release page to allow greater exposure to all multimedia assets, which can increase asset views as well as media and blogsphere coverage.
-- Web2.0-style navigation that allows each user group to quickly and easily find the kind of multimedia formats and options they need.
-- New Business Wire branded video player that offers better user experience, sharing options, and additional measurement.
Redesign: cleaner design and more effective use of space.
Content Reorganization:
-- Organized content in a way that is more closely aligned with the way our users are looking for it.
-- Highlighted key offerings on the home page to help new users better understand Business Wire's services and website features.
Search and User Visibility:
-- Improved tagging and labeling of Business Wire content to make it more easily visible to search engines.
-- Simpler and leaner page structure that reduces page loading time.
-- Unified URL structure that helps search engines categorize content and enables easier traffic measurement.
-- Optimized site for new browsers on the market.
New press release sharing options:
-- New permalink makes linking to BW content easier.
-- Additional bookmarking links for Google and Yahoo! Bookmarks.

Lindsay Lohan is in Paris, reportedly in talks to collaborate with the House of Emanuel Ungaro and sign on as a "creative consultant" for the fashion line. But Ungaro's head designer, Colombiano Esteban Cortazar is not feeling the partnership.
"Esteban is threatening to leave the company if they bring Lindsay on as a consultant," a fashion insider told he NY Post, "It has been a revolving door of designers there and if he leaves, his team will go with him."
The embattled fashion house scooped Cortazar up back in 2007, when the designer was just 23 years old and the young, up-and-comer put his own line on hold to help bring Ungaro back to the prestigious status it had once enjoyed. Since then, Cortazar has received rave reviews for the work he has done with the line and his first collection for Ungaro, shown last March during NYC Fashion week, was a critical success.
The source goes on to explain Cortazar's reluctance to work with the troubled starlet, saying, "Ungaro thinks Lindsay is going to bring the company new energy and new buzz, but she is going to be the nail in the coffin. Nobody will take them seriously ever again." Unfortunately for Lindsay, we'd have to agree!

I had heard SO much about it but it was the first time since I moved to London and, as expected, on a hot (30C) Sunday it was jam packed with men (mostly gay) of all shapes and sizes flaunting not just their designer speedos, but the time, money and hard work that they had put in the gym.

Bladen County Sheriff & District Attorney not releasing many details on dog mauling baby death
CLARKTON, NC (WWAY) — A 9-day-old baby died after being attacked by a dog in Clarkton Tuesday.
The Bladen County Sheriff's Department, the Bladen County District Attorney and the SBI are all investigating but are not releasing many details.
We tried to talk with both the sheriff's department and the district attorneys office but both told us we would have to wait on a news release that was issued Wednesday afternoon. Neither would talk with us on camera. And when we asked where sheriff's investigators were, we were told they were at an undisclosed location.
Here is the news release sent by the district attorneys office:
In the late afternoon hours of August 30, 2011 authorities responded
to a home in Clarkton where a 9 day old infant had been killed.
The current investigation involves the removal of five dogs from the residence, some or
all of whom were allegedly involved with the death of the infant.
The Bladen County Sheriff's Office assumed primary responsibility for the initial
investigation. At an early stage, Sherriff Prentis Benston notified District
Attorney Jon David about this incident. A senior member of the District
Attorney's Office, Tripp Watson, responded to the Hospital in
Elizabethtown and began assisting with the case.
The State Bureau of Investigation is working with our agencies to process the scene and assist
with witness interviews. Moreover, the Bladen County Animal Control is
working with law enforcement to preserve and gather evidence.
All of the agencies involved are working closely together to make every effort to fairly
and accurately develop information.
Our obligation is to carefully investigate the facts and research the controlling law.
This is an emotionally charged incident for everyone involved, yet we are committed to making our
determination on the basis of what justice requires.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and those in the community who are affected by these
events. As the investigation continues and we are able to release additional
information, the public will be timely notified.

The life of Marie Rivier
A short biography of Marie Rivier
Foundress of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary
Marie Rivier, Marinette for her close friends, was born December 19th 1768 inMontpezat,France. Near the end of April in 1770, Marinette, then 16 months old, fell from her bed and remained crippled. Mrs. Rivier, a woman of great faith, would bring Marinette every day in front of the statue of Our Lady of Mercy in a chapel close by.
Soon, the little girl who watched her mother pray, was filled with unshakeable faith: The Blessed Virgin will heal me ! Often left alone at the feet of Mary holding her dead Son in her arms, Marinette contemplates. Secretly, this mystery of infinite love is engraved in her heart. Finally, on the 8th of September, 1774, Marinette suddenly started walking! The four years of "schooling" at the feet of Mary will forever be imprinted in the life of Marie Rivier. She obtains everything from the Blessed Virgin Mary.
When the French Revolution breaks out, any religious act becomes suspect. Marie Rivier secretly gathers the faithful for Sunday Assemblies. She is very prudent, but is most of all an apostle with a burning heart. In 1794, the small town ofThueytscalls her. She leaves her home as a true missionary. Soon, four young women join her and are set afire with the flame of the Gospel. At the very time when most convents are closed, Marie Rivier will open hers. On November 21, 1796, the feast of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, Marie and her four companions consecrate themselves to God. In spite of great poverty, the new community multiplies rapidly.
For Marie Rivier and her daughters, Christian education of youth is and will always remain a top priority. However, the education of the faith also extends to adults. The poor are always privileged; the first orphanage opens on November 21, 1814. Even if the community is poor, welcoming and helping the poor is a sacred duty.
Nothing stops the apostolic ardor of Marie Rivier. Sometimes, the pastors ask her to preach to their parishioners, to gather the women and the young girls. Marie speaks with such clarity, such energy, such eloquence that she reaches their heart. An interior strength sustains her and makes her cry out: "Either make Jesus Christ known and loved, or die!" When she dies on February 3, 1838, at the age of 69, this apostle with a heart of fire has opened 141 convents and received more that 350 Sisters to continue her work. Marie Rivier, "prophet for our times" was beatified inRome by Pope John Paul II on May 23rd, 1982.
"My daughters will one day cross the seas!" This prediction became reality in 1853 when six Sisters arrive in Canada. Today, the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary are present in twenty countries around the world: France, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, England, Spain, Italy, Madeira, Portugal, Mozambique, Japan, the Philippines, Burkina Faso, Senegal, the Gambia, Ireland, Peru, Brazil, Cameroon and Ghana. Our General House is presently in Castelgandolfo, Italy

Los Angeles Times
April 6, 2005
The College of Cardinals today set April 18 to begin the process to select a successor to Pope John Paul II, as a seemingly endless line of mourners wound through the ancient cobbled streets surrounding St. Peter's Square.
The cardinals have approved the elaborate ritual elements of Friday's papal funeral, expected to be the largest public event ever held in the city-state. They will gather 10 days later to start their conclave at which the next pope will be chosen by secret ballots cast in the frescoed Sistine Chapel.
By church practice, the sequestered gathering, whose name comes from the Latin phrase for "with a key," must commence between 15 and 20 days after the pope's death.
In a planned break with tradition, the cardinals have decided that when a new pope is chosen, it will be signaled not only with the customary puff of white smoke emanating from the chapel, but also by the pealing of the huge, deep-toned bell of St. Peter's Basilica. Black smoke signifies an inconclusive ballot.
The Vatican apparently wishes to avoid confusion similar to that which arose at a 1978 conclave, when a problem with the additive used in the burning ballots turned the smoke gray instead of white, triggering pandemonium and a cascade of frantic calls to the Vatican press office.
"We will try to make it work better," Archbishop Piero Marini, the Vatican's master of ceremonies for liturgical affairs, told reporters. "The bell will also ring so that journalists will have no doubts."
There are 183 cardinals in all, but only 117 of them — those under the age of 80 — are eligible to take part in the conclave. Ninety-one of the cardinals from around the world are already in Rome, and 88 of them took part in Tuesday's two-hour session, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls told reporters.
Marini said changes made by John Paul would create a "looser lockup" for the cardinals during the conclave. Instead of being shut inside spartan quarters with sealed windows and shared bathrooms, they will stay in a comfortable modern hotel inside the Vatican and will be able to walk in the walled city's expansive gardens.
Hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries, including kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents, are to attend Friday's funeral rites, with the list growing daily. President Bush and his wife, Laura, will be accompanied by former Presidents Bush and Clinton, together with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Bush will be the first sitting president to attend a pope's funeral. Precedent will also be set by the attendance of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, which will mark the first time since the schism more than four centuries ago that a serving head of the Church of England comes to the burial of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
In keeping with practice of centuries' standing, John Paul's body will be placed in a triple casket for burial, one fitted inside the next, Navarro-Valls said. The innermost is of cypress, the second of zinc and the outer one of fir.
Inside St. Peter's Basilica on Tuesday, the pope's body was on public view for a first full day, lying on a cream-colored bier while great slanting shafts of light filtered in through the church's high windows.
The Vatican and Italian officials said unprecedented numbers of pilgrims, as many as 18,000 people per hour, were filing past the crimson-clad body during nearly round-the-clock viewing. Many of those entering had waited in a miles-long line for more than eight hours.
Even though the pope's body will be on display until Thursday, it has not been embalmed, Navarro-Valls told reporters. But he added, without elaborating, that it had been "prepared" for viewing.
Bogdan Pilch, a 49-year-old Polish businessman, arrived by train early Tuesday with a group of friends. They came straight to St. Peter's Square and got in line, emerging hours later with what they said was a sense of tremendous peace and satisfaction.
"It was something we had to do for this man who did everything for our country, and so much for the world," said Pilch, who is from Krakow, near the pope's hometown.
The total number of people entering St. Peter's Square on Monday and Tuesday reached 1million, Italian officials said — an enormous number, even allowing for some repeat visitors. More than half a million more were expected to make their way into the enormous colonnaded plaza and the vaulted basilica today.
Pilgrims will be able to continue filing past the body until Thursday night, when it will be removed and placed in the cypress coffin, which will lie closed on the steps of St. Peter's during Friday's open-air rites. Vatican officials said that before the closing of the coffin, a white silken veil would be placed over the pontiff's face.
John Paul will be entombed in the grottoes below the basilica that have for centuries been the burial place of popes. Marini, the liturgical affairs expert, told reporters that the pope had expressed a wish to be buried underground, rather than in an aboveground tomb. In contrast with the elaborate sarcophagi that some popes commissioned for themselves, the tomb is to be marked only by a simple stone slab engraved with his name and the years his life spanned.
Contained in the sealed coffin will be a small parcel of commemorative medals and a document about John Paul's life and pontificate, to be sealed in a lead tube.

Fixed two bugs and added automatic paste, paste all, and right-click edit. Unfortunately, caused a new, fatal lockup, so the files are removed. I missed a return statement. I will release 1.1.2 shortly.
It DOES change your history format from 1.0.2rc5. You will loose your history entries if you attempt to go back to an earlier release (you can use the new save as to save your history to a file). You have been warned.
The deb files do not have an appindicator, however I have created a ppa that should have the appindicator, and you can add it to your software sources:
launchpad ppa
Appindicator at this point is only needed for unity, and there is a workaround by:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['parcellite']"
The source can be downloaded here.
Most of the controls on the preferences dialog have tool tips. They are more useful than the man page at this point.
+Added Paste All on history item right-click.

The LipSinkers review
Voodoo Rooms / Mood Nightclub
Just what is it that makes the LipSinkers so different, so appealing? It's a hard thing to pin down but it basically comes down to high-octane queer exuberance of the first order. Making their Fringe debut, this hilariously entertaining four-strong alternative drag troupe – who lip-synch to imaginatively selected songs by acts ranging from Jessie J and Will.I.Am to Pulp and the Lovely Eggs – developed out of 'Tranny Lip-Synching' contests held a decade ago at Bistrotheque's seminal east London experimental cabaret room (also a key locale for Jonny Woo and Bourgeois & Maurice). The sensibility is utterly leftfield: the looks are brilliantly bonkers, a kind of Primark club-kid couture encompassing plastic Macs, lacy bodies, vintage mumus and outfits made of rubber gloves; the routines are tightly choreographed, despite often giving the impression of on-the-hoof vamping; the lip-synching itself is technically spot on; the acts are sexy without really being erotic; and the chemistry between the charismatic performers – Lisa Lee, Richardette, Rhyannon Styles and Blanche Dubois – is affectionate and assured. The extra special ingredients are the implicit politics and the sheer enjoyment at work, which actually add up to the same thing. The LipSinkers are queer and loving it and my face aches from grinning when I watch them.
The LipSinkers are in the Free Fringe at the Voodoo Rooms at 12.20am to Aug 25, and Mood Nightclub at 3.50pm to Aug 24.

@Mkeller323 - Thanks for the reply. I love the plastic mug idea. We had to add a liquor package as well as Fury only came with beer and wine also. We're going a little more casual so we decided on a cupcake and mini key lime pie tower instead of a cake. Thanks again for the ideas!
Posted 08 April 2011 - 10:04 AM
@Mkeller323 - If you don't mind, can I ask where you purchased your mugs? I started looking online a little bit and found several places that have minimum quantities of 150 or more. Thanks
Posted 11 April 2011 - 04:43 AM
@kristen82 - we purchased them through a company that I use for work. He does all kinds of printing though. The website is www.mankocompany.com . These are the ones we ended up ordering. http://www.aakronlin...Id=64&prodId=24
Their minimum is also 150. I actually ordered 300 because we are having 2 at home receptions, so we wanted enough for all of the parties. So he did give us a little bit of a break for ordering so many. Before we thought of using him, I was going to order from www.customink.com . They had cheap mugs too. These are the ones I was looking at and they had a minimum of 100. http://www.customink...age-mug-/165400
Hope this helps!

A weight-loss clinic in New York City has an offer for you - give them $5,000 and they'll make you as thin as a supermodel. You can eat whatever you want and you'll never gain an ounce. Tempted? Fledgling journalist Karen Sumner would be - if only she had $5,000. When Karen finally walks through the blue and gold doors of The Program, though, she's on the trail of the hottest story of her career. If she and her friends are right, The Program is doing something even worse than creating an army of unnaturally thin women.
Library Journal calls The Program "a lively first novel. Highly recommended."

Prek Chak / Xa Xia crossing - Visa On Arrival
Prek Chak / Xa Xia crossing - Visa On Arrival
I'm planning to go to Phu Quoc in mid-august for ~4days and then onto Phnom Penh. I was planning to get the boat to Ha Tien from Phu Quoc - can anyone confirm if this is actually running in August (times/cost?)?
My main worry is the crossing to Cambodia and getting a visa - I emailed the Cambodian Embassy in London (I'm actually Irish but they handle Irish requests) and they said Visa On Arrival is available at that crossing. However seeing as I can find no confirmation of this online by travel agencies or personal accounts I was hoping someone in the know could tell me if that is actually the case?
And if so how much is it (presumably the same as other checkpoints - $20?)? does it take long to process? and do I need to bring along passport photos?
If it is not possible does anyone have a recommendation on my getting from Phu Quoc to Phnom Penh in a single day?
I don't have great faith in the embassy as you can probably tell!

An update - The embassy in London replied initially to my asking about this checkpoint with;
"Yes you could apply at the crossing point...
Cambodian Embassy
And in classically Cambodian fashion, & confirming my lack of faith in them, the embassy wrote back to my querying this (because I could find little evidence on the internet confirming their story) with;
"Sorry we have never been there...
So now I really need confirmation from anyone who's been thru the checkpoint or is in the know!!
