Claudia at Honey from Rock lives in Hawaii (lucky!) where fresh fruit is abundant (more reason to be jealous) - but, as she notes, everything is between seasons so she made the Almond Corn Cake and dried fruits; but couldn't resist trying the Souffléed Pancakes -- batter over carmelized mangoes, which substituted in a pinch for apples that are no longer in season.
Rachel, the Crispy Cook went the same route as Claudia, electing to use dried fruit, nuts and preserves to make this beautiful Walnut Torte with Blackberry Preserves. Her blog is a lovely repository of gluten free dishes; this recipe called for potato starch and egg for the torte, along with blackberry preserves. Violets from her garden finished off this lovely cake.
Beth Anne, like many participants, was swept away by the book and made seven (yes, seven!) desserts, including the Broken Jellied Wine with Summer Fruit. Quite apropos as her blog is The Seventh Level of Boredom. Seriously, how do I get an invitation to her table? Seven desserts! I can totally get behind that.
Jamie's life is about her Adventures in SF - the latest of which is a broken oven which has been a nightmare of epic proportions, particularly for as avid a cook as she; but she is determined to overcome this obstacle and has already decided on a list of dishes to be made once her kitchen is back in working order. On the list, I'm particularly interested in showing up to try to the Persimmon Pudding with her...(hint, hint, Jamie!).
Bake, says Joanne at Eats Well with Others. That is her life lesson #246. And bake she does, in defiance of an upcoming exam and in exemplary daughterhood for Mother's Day. She made the Coconut Rice Pudding Cake with Raspberry Compote.
Deb is another lucky lady who lives in Hawaii. From her Kahakai Kitchen, she made the Yogurt Swedish Cream with Warm Berry Sauce. This wasn't her first choice: she started thinking about Right Side Up Cake before healthy choices made her consider Quinoa Pudding with dried fruit; but the warming days in Hawaii persuaded her that something "cool, smooth and creamy" was needed - and this panna cotta-like yogurt based dessert was the right way to go.
Emily at Tomato Kumato tried two recipes - simple desserts that nevertheless managed to be phenomenal with their flavor combinations, including the Pineapples with Basil Syrup. Her sister helpfully marked other recipes to try with Post-It Notes; it sounds like more testing is needed, Emily!
I love Peabody and her fabulous Culinary Concoctions. Living in Western Washington, there are plenty of farmer's markets and road stores from which to choose a plethora of fresh fruits. For this event, she decided on a tart - and in this case, the Cream Tart with Black Raspberries.
Holly is the Phe/Mom/enon. Look at this ridiculously beautiful Huckleberry Cream Tart! Why this recipe? Well, the tart dough was apparently like nothing she had ever read or heard about - processed into a thick batter that somehow coalesced into the silky tart you see before you...
Barbara Bakes; and she decided to make two desserts - the Mangoes with Minced Strawberries, and the Quinoa Pudding with Dried Cherries and Cranberries; this isn't just for dessert - consider, as Barbara does, this a great way to start the morning. Dessert for breakfast? Sign me up.
So the book isn't all about fruit based desserts - and here is vivid sugary goodness for proof. Susan, Ms. Doughmesstic - made these Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies - all butter and hazelnut oil. This is perfect for those in-between weeks of waiting for the fruit season to really kick into gear...
Over in the Daring Kitchen, Becky at Thirty Dirty Fingers, got a produce box from her local CSA laden with rhubarb and tart storage apples. Three dishes emerged from her daring kitchen including this No Worries Apple Galette...
I'm so grateful that Ivonne, Cream Puffs in Venice, never turns me down when I come running to her with the latest cookbook I'm reading through for which I must absolutely throw a Cookbook Spotlight or an Edible Word. She's as much in love with cookbooks as I am; and she never fails to astonish me with her choices. They're far more exciting than anything I'd choose to make - witness this Baked Rhubarb with Vanilla, Orange and Clove. I hope you heed the call forever Ivonne!
Steph was skeptical about the organic agenda - but even she concurs that the recipes are simple and scrumptious. See the Berry Galette she made for her in-laws - which they polished off in two days! And in a brilliant bit of synchronicity, they got a copy of Deborah's book as a gift from a family member!
A great big thank you to all the lovely and passionate participants in this round of Cookbook Spotlight!
And the winner of our giveaway book - Barbara at Winos and Foodies! Barbara, Pug drew your name from the box so he will expect a kiss when he sees you next year. :-) Thanks to everyone who submitted their names - I'll have some more books to give away soon!

Once I completed my green socks, socknitting fever was in full swing. I've had this ball of Trekking yarn in my stash for years, and now was the time for it to become a pair of socks. I planned and cast on this pair of socks on a recent family car-trip to Taos, hence the name.
I've had a fondness for traveling stitches ever since knitting a pair of socks for Anastasia. I don't like the look of traveling stitches which are twisted - I don't know why - I just really don't. Most traveling stitch patterns ask you to twist the stitches - experiment with them twisted and untwisted and see how you like them the best.
I cast on using Cat Bordhi's Whirlpool Cast On - and used her SideStream Construction for the general idea of the sock. Both methods can be found in her book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters.
The Whirlpool Cast on is perfect. I doubt if I'll ever use another cast on - ever. It's quick, easy, intuitive, and eliminates those hated "ears." You can adjust your rate of increase so that your sock's toe will match the shape of your own toes. I love love LOVE it. In fact, I'm probably going to use it for any center-out cast on that comes my way - I'm thinking how wonderful it would be to have a from-the-center-out shawl which begins this way, instead of with that oh too cute little belly button.
Cat Bordhi is such a genius. Her amazingly creative solutions to knitting problems just leave me speechless. This book took my breath away.
Anyway, I settled on the SideStream construction. I was a little panicky at one point because it looked like there was simply NO WAY that this was going to work. The only thing that kept me going was that Cat had never let me down, and so I forged ahead. You know what? It worked! It worked soooooo beautifully!
I started the "pattern" so that, at the first, it was running up the outside of the toe. If I had used the more standard sock construction, this pattern would have ended up running up the outside of the sock. However, since I was using Sidestream Construction, it gently shifted the pattern so that now, it runs up the exact center of the sock, right up my shinbone.I was able to put another pattern panel in the wedge created by the Sidestream, and voila, this pattern runs up the exact center of the outside of the sock. This was one of those Happy Accidents. I thought that it would end up more to the center, but no, it couldn't have been any more perfectly placed if I had planned it. In fact, I'm done planning. From now on, I'm going to use the "Choose Your Own Adventure" method, as it's fun and seems to work very well, heh heh heh.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to take pictures of socks which are on your feet? I can't do it very well, as you can plainly see.
I played with some graph paper and decided on this simple waving pattern. This one pattern is the only one used - up the sides of each sock, the waving pattern appears by itself. Up the front of the socks, the waving pattern is represented twice - on one sock the patterns are balanced so that each goes out and returns to the center at the same time. On the other sock, one curve follows the other so that it sort of looks like DNA, in a way, kinda.
I used the starred options for the fronts of the socks -The plain wave is seen on the far right.
The braids up the back of the sock - I used one pattern for one sock, the other pattern for the other sock. It made me tired, lol.
For some reason, this one was hard for me, and for the first 20+ rows I just kept screwing up, and a big problem is that I didn't notice that I screwed up until long after I had cast off. I know, I'm a special breed of stupid.
Anyway, water under the bridge. It's a good knitter who knows how to repair mistakes, and repairing mistakes doesn't always mean ripping out. In my little corner of knit-dom, it rarely means ripping out. It means repairing.
It was so simple to fix - I simply embroidered over the mistakes and voila - perfection!
Here you can see that I completely forgot what I was doing, and there's a gap in the braid. No problem, just hook the new to the old.
Here is a bigger problem - I crossed the braid incorrectly, twice in a row. The "fix" is shown in the collage - click for big. You'll be able to see how I fixed it.
Nice and round. You can adjust how round by adjusting the number of "wedges" and therefore, the number of increases . If you want a more narrow, pointy toe, use fewer wedges. If you want a wide, round toe, use more wedges. I used 6 and placed my increases every other row. I really like this toe, and doubt that I'll ever use another.
Toe up socks, whirlpool toe, sidestream construction, two at a time, magic loop - one knit picks circular, 24 inch (I think it is 24 inches long - I really hate to use long needles.)

-An Incremental Development
I procrastinate when I have the time. I've found that in college, I don't have time to procrastinate! That's because I have to manage my time very carefully, and pretty much all of it is booked for homework/reading/class/work. If you do everything at the last minute, but only because every other minute was filled with other homework, does that count as procrastination?
Luckily, that's all done with for a few months...now I have to make myself work on web sites for money.

I never procrastinate, and I can tell you why if I have time later on.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
Mathaphobe, did you post this just so you could procrastinate?
I procrastinate with most things. And then, once I've actually started, and got into the swing of things, I just can't stop! Someone has to yell at me first.
Examples: assignments, going to bed at night, having a shower, reading set novels (actually, there is just one I can think of), replying to email, revising (for tests especially), music practise ... hang on, maybe I should be doing that now.
I postpone things less important.
I only ever seem to have the urge to tidy my room or do some gardening when i have lots of work to do. Actually, pullling out some really stubbon weeds is quite satisfying if you are really stressed with revision.
I tidy my room usually when I have to-otherwise I won't find my stuff.
I have found that a major source of procrastination for me is a feeling that I have so much to do that it is overwhelming, and the one, little thing which I am thinking of doing now will be insignificant and make not real impact. Of course, I realize that this reasoning is self-defeating. Understanding the mental dynamic does not necessarily make it go away, but it does help to give me some motivation to ignore the mental knots and just get started.
Love is what matters most!
Define that please and i will tell you (and define lol PLEASE i'm very confused about that one)
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
Wikipedia says: Procrastination is the deferment or putting-off of an action or task, usually by focusing on some other distraction (compare temporisation). It is Latin for "foremorrowing," or making some such of tomorrow.
Google says:
- the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or defering an action to a later time
- dilatoriness: slowness as a consequence of not getting around to it
Just short for laugh out loud.
i always procraastinate, and it gets really annoying sometimes when i leave LOADS of work till the last minute, and end up rushing or not getting it done
in the case that i dont have a deadline, it often means i just give up on it

The experienced and influential quartet missed the entire autumn schedule through injury but return at outside centre, full-back, openside and hooker respectively.
Ireland XV v Wales
R Kearney (Leinster); C Gilroy (Ulster), B O'Driscoll (Leinster), G D'Arcy (Leinster), S Zebo (Munster); J Sexton (Leinster), C Murray (Munster); C Healy (Leinster), R Best (Ulster), M Ross (Leinster), M McCarthy (Connacht), D Ryan (Munster), P O'Mahony (Munster), S O'Brien (Leinster), J Heaslip (Leinster, capt).
Replacements: S Cronin (Leinster), D Kilcoyne (Munster), D Fitzpatrick (Ulster), D O'Callaghan (Munster), C Henry (Ulster), E Reddan (Leinster), R O'Gara (Munster), K Earls (Munster).
For the first time since succeeding Keith Wood as captain in 2004, O'Driscoll is relieved of the leadership duties following coach Declan Kidney's decision to appoint number eight Jamie Heaslip skipper.
The 34-year-old resumes his centre partnership alongside Leinster team-mate Gordon D'Arcy for a record 48th time with Jonathan Sexton and Conor Murray selected at half-back.
Kearney forms an exciting back three that features Craig Gilroy and Simon Zebo on the wings after the inexperienced duo impressed throughout the autumn.
''It was a tight call because there's so much competition. Fergus McFadden and Keith Earls have been playing well, so it's testament to the way Craig and Simon have been playing that they're selected,'' coach Declan Kidney said.
In total there are four changes in personnel to the side that thumped Argentina 46-24 in the climax to a mixed November, among them Chris Henry's demotion to the bench.
O'Brien was assured of a spot in the back row once he had returned to fitness, but Henry is unfortunate to have made way with Peter O'Mahony preferred at blindside.
''We felt that in terms of a mix in the back row this was the best combination, but there was certainly plenty to talk about following Chris' performances in the autumn,'' Kidney said.
Ireland, the bookmakers' third favourites to win the Six Nations, have lost their last three matches to Wales, including a 23-21 loss on the opening day of the championship last year.
But while the injury-hit Welsh enter the tournament as champions, they have endured seven successive defeats including a whitewash during a troubled autumn.

COMPTON – Two men were killed in a shooting in Compton, authorities said today.
The victims, both in their early 20s, were shot by an unknown suspect or suspects in the 1100 block of West 131st Street at 9:05 p.m. Friday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Mark Stone.
Both were pronounced dead at a hospital, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.
Their names were not immediately available, said Coroner's Lt. Joe Bale.

As a young medical student in the 70s, I dreamt of becoming a surgeon. Everything about surgery fascinated me: the long hours, the sleepless nights, the unmistakable adrenalin rush and sense of satisfaction of saving a human life.
Three decades later, I had reached the pinnacle of my success. I had a reputation as an accomplished and compassionate surgeon and was wooed by fancy private hospitals with even fancier pay packages and perks. I selected the best the city could offer: a plush corporate hospital with the best equipment and where operating was a luxury itself.
But something was missing. Despite the state-of-the-art equipment and fat pay packet, doubts and a sense of unease remained. The place was too sanitized! Everything was spick and span, and worked with clock-like regularity. Even the patients - well-dressed and well behaved - exuded wealth and leisure.
I missed the milling crowds of my public hospital days; the teeming mass of humanity that constituted a hospital, the thousands that came from far-off villages and thronged the corridors waiting for treatment. Missing were the families living beneath tarp sheets, the emaciated young men carrying frail elders in their arms, and anemic expectant mothers struggling with broods of howling, hungry children while coping with the demands of pregnancy. I missed the vibrant kaleidoscope of the myriad of activities that made a public hospital.
Those who have visited India have seen urban slums, straggling hutments, and shanties standing cheek-by-jowl with glittering, imposing mansions and skyscrapers. There, those regarded worse than human excreta, make their home. They are the invisible poor - faceless and voiceless - of no use to anybody. The well-off regard them as carriers of filth and disease. Politicians ignore them because they have no vote. Some have huts made of cardboard boxes covered by plastic sheets. There is no running water and there are no toilets. There are no roads: only miles of dust tracks where humans live in subhuman conditions.
One day, I gathered my courage and entered one such slum. The stench was unbearable. I had never seen such a harrowing sight. Women and children scrabbled through mountains of garbage with their bare hands, picking up food and putting it in their mouths. I was close to tears, nausea, and anger. I ran in panic, trying to shut my eyes to what I had just witnessed; the infinite degradation of mankind.
But I went again, and again. The next time with cartons of protein biscuits, and then with a stethoscope, a BP apparatus, and a prescription pad. I sat on a pile of stones and treated patients for diarrhea, dysentery, malnutrition, anemia, skin infections, eye infections, cuts, burns, whatever. With great reservation, I admitted some and operated on others, worried about who would pay for the admission and medicine.
I must confess life in the
I must confess life in the Slum is terrible and I have had the opportunity to visit and work with different courtesy of the NGO I volunteer with in Nigeria called Slum2School Africa and I can relate with most of her experiences. So grateful for her passion to reachout to the disadvantage in india slums. I wish her NGO the best in all they do.Dr Shelly Batra you are a big encouragement!
TginlThank you so much Dr
Thank you so much Dr Shelly. You have truly made the world a better place.
It is extremely unfortunate that India's slums and shanties are examples of the most unfit places for inhabitation. It's extremely depressing to see young children defecate in the open, in front of their PVC homes and their mothers cook food in their homes, infested with countless rodents and insects.
Thank you so much once again Doctor, you really are doing your justice to your noble profession.

The rediscovery of the role of the laity in the mission of the Church - with reference to the Baptist Union of Southern Africa (BUSA)
Peter Christofides; Piet G.J. Meiring
Department of Science of Religion and Missiology, University of Pretoria, South Africa
The role of the laity is at the cutting edge of Christian missions today. The author conducted a number of interviews and questionnaires to determine the status of the laity across denominations of the Christian faith in South Africa. His findings are in a number of instances startling: The picture of the laity, and what lay Christians in South Africa believe, run against general expectations. Some suggestions and proposals on how to empower the laity in general, and the churches of the Baptist Union in Southern Africa (BUSA) in particular, are made. The underlining motive for the research is to encourage the BUSA churches to become truly missional churches that make a difference in the world in which we live.

The Sedgwick County Department of Health is working with McConnell Air Force Base officials to contact the sexual partners of a sergeant who may have knowingly exposed people to HIV at swinger events in the Wichita area during the past three years. The man used adult websites to meet strangers for sex encounters, a practice that has become commonplace, officials said.
U.S. District Court documents allege the man "engaged in numerous, unprotected sexual acts with a multitude of sexual partners over the course of three years." The man contacted the sexual partners he had been with while stationed overseas regarding his HIV status, his spouse said in an affidavit, but he did not notify the men and women he had been with since arriving at McConnell in 2008. An online profile shows he attended 21 swinger parties from January 2009 to July this year, according to court documents, which allege he did not disclose he is HIV-positive.

This is great for the Desktop, but what about people using this on servers?
Setroubleshoot can be run without X windows and without the GUI. setroubleshoot is broken into three different RPMS.
On Fedora 9:
# rpm -qa setroubleshoot\*
On a server only machine you can install just the server and the plugins. You only need setroubleshoot if you are using the graphical interfaces. With the server component installed you will see messages like the following appear in /var/log/messages.
Jul 1 22:03:01 localhost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing semodule (staff_t) "read" to ./BackupPC.pp (semanage_store_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l bca0cd18-5a5b-4cc5-9b08-5f5778439b2c
You can then use sealert to look at any AVC messages you get. sealert also has a neat feature, that you can execute 'sealert -l \*' to look at all the alert messages that you received.
While these messages do not instantly appear on you desktop, you can still use setroubleshoot on a server.
If you want to receive email whenever SELinux reports a problem, you can configure setroubleshoot-server to send email messages. Edit /var/lib/setroubleshoot/email_alert_reci

Lady Gaga Sprouts Wings in Comme des Garcons Suit at NYFW [PHOTOS]
Lady Gaga sprouted her wings -- actually, really puffy and voluminous sleeves -- when she hit NYFW on Friday, Sept. 6. She attended the Fashion Media Awards and donned a tailored, charcoal Comme des Garcon suit, complete with mafioso pinstripes and sleeves that were bigger than her entire body.
And because she is Lady Gaga, she looked amazeballs in this suit. Not many other divas could pull this off, but she did it with panache.

Just like the cure for the hangover is more booze, the cure the Derby hangover is more betting. So let's move this narrative along to Maryland.
No sooner does the Kentucky Derby winner—Orb in this case—cross the finish line do the Triple Crown questions start. Orb has the running style to do it. He proved he can run on an off-track (though will an off-track at Pimlico or Belmont be equivalent to Churchill? Probably not. As we know, mud in the Kentucky is a better class of mud.).
Orb is lightly raced, but also has enough experience, too.
But I just don't see him winning the Triple Crown, and it will be his trainer who pulls the plug.
Let's assume Orb wins the Preakness, which, with the new shooters and some good Derby horses wheeling back, is no lock. Shug McGaughey always says let the horse bring him wherever—the Breeders' Cup, the Derby, Applebees.
If Orb hangs his head a centimeter lower than he normally does, this horse will be at the farm faster than you can 1978.
Orb will run 19 ½ furlongs in the span of two weeks. His bones and body could be solid as steel and McGaughey won't think twice about scratching him from Belmont consideration. It's just like Laura Hillenbrand, author of Unbroken and Seabiscuit, said on her Facebook page Sunday:
"I have revered Shug McGaughey above all other trainers since he campaigned the greatest racehorse I ever saw, Easy Goer, in 1988-90. Shug is an understated, contemplative, usually unsmiling man, but he speaks through his horses, for whom he cares with a father's protective, knowing and loving eye. He is a purist, the straightest of arrows, a hay, oats and water man. Thanks to his meticulous care and wise judgment, his horses have long, glorious careers and retire as sound as the day they were born.
"Shug has wanted to win the Derby all his life. He has trained numerous champions, and he could arrive at the Derby every year with a stack of horses to throw at the race, as some trainers invariably do. But Shug will never, ever push a horse beyond what he is prepared to do, and never put a horse in this most harrowing of races unless the horse tells him he's ready. 'Let the horse bring you,' is his maxim. For that reason he has had few Derby starters, and the blanket of roses has eluded him. But yesterday, Orb told him he was ready, and Shug let him go."
That's the most likely reason Orb wouldn't win the Triple Crown. There's the new shooters, and those well-rested horses manage to screw everything up. (Yeah, Birdstone, I'm talking to you.)
It's an unfair advantage new shooters and Preakness-skippers or Derby skippers have. The only horses that wheel back as often as a Triple Crown-contending horse are the poor nags that have to fill a race card so these regal steeds may run.
I'd like to see the horses running in the Preakness and Belmont have run within the same time window as Orb.
For the Preakness, Orb should run against horses who have had no fewer than two weeks' rest. For the Belmont, Orb should run against horses with no fewer than three weeks' rest, ideally having run three times in five weeks as well.
It often happens in horse racing that luck is too big a factor. It's a factor in Kentucky with 20 horses breaking together. The luck of the post position it too significant (based on rankings, trainers should be able to choose their post position. They've done all this work to get this far and then, at the shake of a pill, get Post 20. Bye, bye Derby. Use those points to grant better access to the gate.)
Now, when the sport starves for a Triple Crown winner, it has stacked the deck against itself in every imaginable way.
Perhaps that will make it all the more special when a horse finally does it (I never thought we'd see a Triple Crown winner in baseball again, and that happened in 2012). If a horse overcomes all these obstacles, it will be special indeed.
The hurdles the horse has to jump through in the modern-day style of training horses, taking breaks and taking fresh shots at tired three-year-olds seems unfair. Cornerbacks can't grab wide receivers, guards have a 3-point-line to shoot from, the pitcher's mound was lowered, all to make sports better events to watch.
Maybe Shug will pull the plug before Orb gets a chance at history because Orb tells him so. Even if that isn't the case, history may be too heavy a weight to bear, no matter how talented this colt is.

Mitt's winning Ohio
Face the music, moonbats. America is sending the communist racebaiter back under his rock in Chicago.
Two new Ohio polls came out yesterday after my Ohio post, from from Gravis Marketing and PPP, both of which point to a razor-thin race in the most coveted swing state. A closer look at each poll shows just how much Romney has gained since the debates, and why he would be absolutely thrilled if these polls were accurate on Election Day.
The poll from Gravis Marketing shows Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent. But thats as good as it gets for Obama. Among the most interesting tidbits from the poll:
Romney leads Obama by 19 percent among independents, 5233, and holds 92 percent of his base compared to Obamas 87 percent. Obama is underwater in job approval, 4450, and independents disapprove of him overwhelmingly, 3158. And the poll has a Democratic advantage of 9 percent, which is a 4 percent jump from 2008 no one believes that Democrats can match their 2008 turnout advantage, let alone almost double it.
PPP (a Democratic firm) released their new poll yesterday showing Obama only up one point, 49 to 48. Just a week ago PPP had the race at 5146 for Obama. But the four-point gain for Romney is even more impressive when you look at the polls findings:
This weeks poll has a Democrat sample advantage of 8 percent; last weeks advantage was 4. Romney gained four points on Obama in a week despite the samples having four percentage points more Democrats. Romney leads with independents by 7 percent, up from a 5 percent last week. Obamas approval is underwater at 4850, and independents disapprove of him by a 4154 margin. Last week Obama was in positive approval ground at 5048, and independents disapproved by a much smaller 4550 margin. Romneys favorability has gone from a minus-6 margin last week (4551) to a plus-2 this week (4947). Trust on the economy went from Obama plus-5 last week (5146) to plus-4 in Romneys direction this week (5147). Independents jumped from Romney plus-5 last week to Romney plus-15 this week.
These two polls highlight what many saw in the second debate: Romney may have lost the overall debate, but he won handily on the issues of the economy, debt, and taxes. While Democrats were riding high this week after Obama narrowly won the face-off, Romney was quietly solidifying support from voters by commanding the issues that matter most. Based on these two polls, the only way Obama can win Ohio is if he finds a way to greatly surpass 2008 turnout with Democrats, which at the moment seems like an impossible task. If these polls hold, it wont be long before the state Romney was declared dead in knocks down the last pillar of inevitability that Obama has left.
Josh Jordan is a small-business market-research consultant. You can follow him on Twitter @Numbersmuncher.
We'll see how the other polls go. If true, that's pretty remarkable. Props to Romney for turning this election his way.
Ohio still shows on 538 as being a Likely Obama. 70%.
I miss Walter Cronkite.
Charles Pierce has a phrase to describe the closeness of this election, the margin of chicanery.
We're definitely in that margin.
Dan Rather says 'pubs could steal Ohio......old moonbat
Well Romney has my vote and just about everybody in my family as well!
do we really want a President who believes that he will be a God someday? Terrifying.
Quinnipiac/CBS has Obama up 5, ftr.
We have one now who thinks he already is

Bob and Jolyn Esquerre are business solutions consultants and co-owners of the Esquerre Fitness Group (EFG). EFG is known for training trainers, group exercise instructors and managers. It has challenged the fitness industry to provide exceptional service to members. Recognized as subject-matter-experts in personal training, program development, club branding, management development, customer relationship management and membership retention, Bob and Jolyn's total focus is to create customized business solutions for their customers.
Group exercise and personal training. Personal training and group exercise. These two programming options make up the foundation of service offerings at fitness facilities. Add the impact of the recession to this mix, and now we have a more pressing need to launch additional cost-effective programming options that are sensitive to the members' new financial reality, satisfy the programming needs of members, support the on-going financial requirements for clubs and continue to reinforce the value of the club's brand.
If planned, executed and managed properly, a group training program can potentially generate an increase in gross income, create a higher profit margin, increase income per member and increase the percentage of non-dues revenue. From the educated consumer's perspective, group training adds a cost-effective programming option into the programming mix that will keep members on track as they continue their journey to success at the facility of their choice.
Mix in Suspension Training
One option in today's group training environment is suspension training. Suspension training refers to a broad body of unique training movements, coaching cues and program principles. When doing suspension training, either the exerciser's hands or feet are generally supported by a single anchor point while the opposite end of the body is in contact with the ground.
Initially developed as a military training option (Navy Seals) and subsequently launched as a creative training tool for skilled personal and athletic trainers, suspension training has now been positioned as a dynamic, multi-level, fee-based group training tool for clubs and fitness professionals who want to create a competitive point of difference in their business platforms.
Suspension training can deliver seven physiological responses for individuals of all fitness levels:
- Muscular strength
- Muscular endurance
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Joint stability and joint mobility
- Flexibility
- Power
- Core stability
As fitness professionals with more than 30 combined years of exposure to fitness programming options, we view these seven physiological benefits as inviting from an efficiency perspective.
Benefits of Suspension Training Programs
Suspension training programs offer several benefits:
- A cost-effective response to the recession
- The creation of additional fee-based programming options
- Availability of more fitness professionals with new skill sets—the hybrid fitness professional
- The creation of a stronger club branding message delivery system (group exercise programs, personal training programs and group training programs)
- An increase in gross income to the club
- A higher profit margin to the club (i.e. increase in net income)
- Lower club member attrition rate
- Higher club member retention rate
- Higher referral rates from satisfied clients
- Higher hourly income for fitness professionals
- Increased income per member for the club owner
- Strengthening of the club's brand (i.e. the club's value proposition)
- An increase in percentage of non-dues revenue
- A reduction of employee overhead expenses
- An increase in synergy of all club programs
- Strengthening of the club's competitive points-of-difference
- The reinforcement of the club's customer relationship program
- A reduction in fitness professional turnover
Implementing Suspension Group Training
At this time, just one company in the industry offers a suspension training program for fitness facilities. That company has a nine-step implementation process for focusing group training on suspension training:
- Identify someone who will be responsible for launching and managing your group program (coordinator, supervisor or manager).
- Identify the club-specific suspension system hardware option.
- Develop a business and marketing plan for your suspension program.
- Identify the skill sets that your suspension group coaches must have in order to be a coach in your program.
- Have all your coach candidates enroll in a suspension training course.
- Upon completion of the course, candidates must complete at least 30 days of a hands-on practice program with the suspension training course content.
- After completion of the 30-day hands-on practice program, all coach candidates must enroll in the group suspension training course.
- Upon completion of the group suspension training course, each candidate must complete 30 days of teaching the program in a live teaching environment. The students in these practice classes should be personal trainers, group exercise instructors and other coach candidates.
- After completion of the 30-day practice cycle, the club program coordinator, supervisor or manager will select the candidates who will launch the program.
Club owners who do not follow this implementation pathway actually sub-optimize their ability to achieve the benefits of suspension training at their clubs. In today's economic environment, group training is a must, and suspension training is a win-win, if you do it right.

The 10 most stylish TV characters
TV shows are supposed to be known for the dramatics, storylines and interesting characters, but sometimes characters' fashion choices stand out so much that we can't help but take notice. Whether they are sporting Prada handbags or expensive three-piece suits, here are some of the best-dressed characters on TV:
The Divas
Olivia Pope
The two things Olivia from Scandal loves more than the President is a neutral-coloured Prada bag and designer oversized coats. The head gladiator-in-charge never has a bad fashion moment when she's running around fixing problems at the White House. Even when she's just at home enjoying a glass of wine, she can be seen wearing super stylish pyjamas.
Clara Oswald
Clara, of Doctor Who, is by far the most stylish companion yet. One of the reasons we love Clara is because of her casual but cute sense of style on the show. Clara dresses like the girlfriend we can grab coffee with on a Sunday afternoon. Her floral dresses and schoolgirl skirts make it easy for people to relate to her. Clara usually completes her outfits with a crossover bag when she's traveling with the Doctor.
The Girls of Pretty Little Liars
Even though Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily have a crazy stalker on their tale in every episode of Pretty Little Liars, they never seem to miss out on the latest fashion trends. To set them apart from one another, the girls have their own unique sense of style. Aria is adventurous with crazy and playful patterns. Spencer is the bookworm, so she wears tailored blazers and pencil skirts. Hannah can be seen in flirty and fun tops and dresses while Emily is the casual one in mostly stylish jeans and shirts.
Cookie Lyon
Cookie's crazy costumes are so fun to watch on Empire because they are so unpredictable. The bright furs and animal prints just scream for attention whenever she walks into a room. This choice of style works for her character because she is loud and dramatic about everything she does.
Alice Vaughan
The private investigator from The Catch has yet to reach UK TV screens (it's scheduled for Sky Living in May) but she's already making a fashion statement stateside. Alice is a name partner at a PI firm so she always has to look her best for her clients. She can catch bad guys while in high heels, tight pencil skirts and cute blouses. Totally bad-ass.
The Divos
Sherlock Holmes
Traditionally, detective Sherlock Holmes is known for his iconic uniform which includes a tweed coat and a deerstalker hat. However, Benedict Cumberbatch wears a modernised version of the uniform in Sherlock. The slim-fitting suit, the trench coat and the blue scarf looks very stylish and well put together while Holmes is solving crimes.
Frank Delfino
If we had to give an award for "The Sexiest Murderous Assistant in all of Shondaland," it would no doubt go to Frank Delfino from How to Get Away with Murder. In the show, Frank is good looking dapper and murdering people in cold blood. But his beard and the way he dresses makes all of us ladies (and some gentlemen) swoon, which helps us forget all about his criminal activities.
Elijah Mikaelson
There's no sibling rivalry like a Mikaelsson sibling rivalry in The Originals, but the one thing the siblings never disagree on is Elijah's great taste in three-piece suits. The vampire brings lots of charm when he's ripping people's throats out of their bodies but he also looks good doing it. We wouldn't be surprised if the worst part of Elijah's day is getting other people's blood on his expensive trousers.
John Reese
Since the beginning of Person of Interest, John Reese was known as the "Man in the Suit." This was actually how police identified him while he was playing a vigilante on the streets of NYC. The white collared shirt and two-piece suit go perfectly with his dreamy face.
Lucifer Morningstar
Lucifer is another newcomer to our TV screens and he is probably the most handsome Devil yet. In most episodes Lucifer is dressed as if he just stepped out of the cover of GQ magazine. Looking chic is a big deal when you own a club that has bring in lots of sexy women everyday.
Every lawyer in legal dramas
The characters of TV shows like The Good Wife, Suits and How To Get Away with Murder need their own platform because they always look fashionable no matter what situation they are in. From watching these shows it's almost as if being stylish comes with being a lawyer. Sometimes some lawyers go as far as pointing out how much they spend on their clothes and shoes. We can bet it's more than an average person's monthly rent.

Introduction to Amateur Radio
What is Amateur Radio
Amateur radio is a community of people that use radio transmitters and receivers to communicate with other Amateur radio operators. If you were to ask a dozen different amateurs what ham radio meant to them chances are you would get 12 different answers. Amateur radio operators are often called ham radio operators or simply "hams" and frequently the public is more familiar with this term than with the legal term Radio Amateur. The source of this nickname is for all practical purposes lost from the beginning.
Amateur (HAM) Radio is truly a hobby but often one that makes a difference especially in emergency or disaster situations. It is an activity of Self Learning, Inter-Communication & Technical Investigation carried on between Amateur Radio Operators. Amateurs talk to local friends over the radio waves using a hand-held transceiver, communicating digitally with packet radio to exchange personal messages or vital information in an emergency, talking to other hams anywhere in the world, or engaging in contests with other Radio Amateurs over the airwaves there is something for everyone.
There are over Lakh people all over the world who pursue this activity in their free time.Go to Top
What Hams do with Amateur Radio
How to Become a Radio Amateur
Amateur Radio Operators have to qualify in an examination conducted by Ministry of Communications, Government of India and obtain licence for operating / possessing a Radio Station. Any individual above the age of 12 is permitted to appear for Amateur Station Operator Licence Examination and No Educational qualification is prescribed. It takes just two months (say two hours a day training) to become eligible for the examination. One should qualify a simple test conducted in three subjects namely I) Morse Code (Transmission & Reception) ii) Communication Procedure iii) Basic Electronics.
The Officer-In-Charge, Wireless Monitoring Station, Dept. of Telecommunication under Ministry of Communication, Govt. of India is the authority for conducting these tests in their own town provided there are sufficient number of applicants. The licences are issued by Wireless Planning & Co-ordination Wing of DOT, Govt. of India after passing the test in any of the following grades:
The Morse Code of 8 words per minutes sending-receiving will make eligible to get General grade licence and no Morse code test for Restricted grade licence, see the differences between these licences in detail. Basic knowledge can be obtained by purchasing/downloading study manuals, books, and Morse Code training sofwatware or CDs from any of the amateur radio clubs.
Once you are prepared, you can write examination, see Where to take Ham Radio Licence ExaminationsGo to Top
Who Issues Amateur Radio Licence in India?
Every licenced Radio Amateur is given a call sign that is used to identify you and your location of licence. Each country that has Amateur Radio status is allocated a range of call signs by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Amateur Radio Licence in India are licenced by the Wireless Planning & Coordination wing of Ministry of Communications, Govt. of India and enjoy a far more privileges of radio operation than "CB" radio operators do.
In many countries special call sign allocations may be made to commemorate a special event. These special event call signs usually have an unusual prefix so that the station using the call will be easily recognized. For example the calls M2000A and 7S2000M were heard quite often commemorating the year 2000. CI3O was used in 1996 for the Charles Island DX pedition. Many of these special events also have unique QSL cards that are well worth the effort to make the contact and to send for the card.
With these privileges come responsibilities and rules for the operation of an amateur radio station. Specifically, there are a few things that hams are not allowed to do:
Within these (and other) guidelines, however, hams are empowered to do just about everything that government and private radio stations are allowed to do.

Schedule of Examinations
Building Your First Radio
Amateur Radio Transceivers can be made by enthusiasts with locally available components. Several Hams have come up with their circuit design, PCBs and construction of low cost amateur Radio equipment. Assume that you have just passed the Restricted Grade class "no code " licence and are looking for a first radio. Most Amateurs purchase a handheld VHF or UHF (or a combined "dual-band" VHF+UHF) radio. You can optionally connect an external antenna at your home for extended range. A mere handheld, running low power, is sufficient to gain access to most local repeaters so this is plenty to get you started.
There are several International brands that sell their Amateur Radio equipment in India with network chain of Dealers and sub-dealers. You could buy any equipment that fits in your budget across the shelf from these dealers. The price of which can be obtained from them, Make, Manufacturer and features. However, some popular brands are

2010 Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang is all-new for 2010. Everything but the roof on the 2010 Mustang is new. And it's all good, all improved over the superb 2004-2009 version of America's pony car.
We found the 2010 Mustangs quieter and more refined than the previous models. More important, the 2010 Mustang GT is an absolute blast to drive, quick off the mark with a brawny sound. The clutch pedal is light and easy to use in heavy traffic and the manual sifts smoothly. The handling is crisp, the suspension feels tight, and the brakes work better in this latest generation.
The Mustang has been in continuous production for 45 straight years, and more than 9 million Mustangs have been built and sold to date. That gives the Mustang the longest production run of any single model in Ford history.
The 2010 Ford Mustang comes in three body styles: coupe, convertible, and a glass-roof coupe. Each is available in both the traditional V-6 model and the V8-powered Mustang GT. Both engines will be available with a choice of a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.
The V-6 coupe and convertible feature an upgraded 4.0-liter V6 engine rated at 210 horsepower and 240 foot-pounds of torque. The V-6 model comes standard with 17-inch wheels and tires, with 18-inch wheels optional. A rear stabilizer bar now comes standard on the V-6 models, and the entire suspension system has been retuned for more performance feel.
The Mustang GT gets a more powerful V8 for 2010, producing 315 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque from 4.6 liters.
Ford's Sync electronics, navigation with Sirius Travel Link and a rear-facing camera are among the options never before available on the Mustang.
Model Lineup
The Mustang V-6 coupe starts at $20,995, and the V-6 convertible at $25,995. Pricing for the GT V-8 coupe starts at $27,995, with the GT V-8 convertible at $32,995. (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices do not include $850 destination charges.)
Options include the five-speed automatic transmission ($995), the glass roof option ($1995), a navigation package ($2195).
A premium package ($3000) upgrades with leather six-way power driver seat with power lumbar and two-way adjustable head restraint, bright shift knob, door trim panel inserts, leather wrapped steering wheel w/aluminum spokes, six-gauge cluster w/MyColor, gloss paint center stack and console, satin door speaker surrounds, Ambient lighting, Bright aluminum accent dash appliques, pedal covers, scuff plates and shifter knob, special wheels, Shaker 500 AM/FM/6CD MP3 audio system, eight speakers, Sirius Satellite Radio, Sync communications system, and split-folding rear seats.
An optional Track Package includes upgraded front brakes, a recalibrated AdvanceTrac system that allows later intervention, and the 3.73:1 axle ratio. Track Package II will include Pirelli 19-inch tires and wheels, upgraded front and rear brakes and heavier springs, shock absorbers and brakes along with recalibrated traction and yaw control systems designed for weekend racing. Ford Racing Performance Parts will offer a wide array of performance and appearance options for the new Mustang, up to and including a complete bolt-on supercharger kit.
The safety package includes six air bags, tire pressure monitoring, the Ford Personal Safety System that controls the level of air bag deployment according to impact speed, and a new SOS post-crash alert system that unlocks the doors, turns on the four-way flashers and sounds the horn if an air bag is deployed.
The 2010 Mustang body design is new from end to end, this time with integrated multi-element headlamps replacing the twin round lamps of past Mustangs, a power-dome hood that droops over the grille at its leading edge, completely new side sculpting, and chamfered three-element taillamps that house sequential turn signals, blinking from the inside lamp to the outside lamp to help those following understand which way you're turning (a technology first used on the 1964 Thunderbird, reprised 46 years later).
Ford says the new Mustang body yields 23 percent less aerodynamic lift at the front with a new slotted panel installed under the radiator to direct air, 50 percent better in front/rear lift balance, and has seven percent less aerodynamic drag. They tell us it is 12 percent quieter in wind noise than the outgoing car, 15 percent quieter in the case of the convertible. Ford also points to a 33 percent reduction in squeak and rattle performance, and a 10 percent improvement in speech intelligibility due to interior noise reductions, especially in the convertible.
The 3500-pound Mustang uses welded steel unibody construction with front and rear subframes to mount the steering and suspension systems, with almost half the body weight in high-strength low-alloy steel.
Interior Features
Inside, we found the front bucket seats significantly more comfortable and better looking than the slabs used in the 2009 models. Altogether, the 2010 Mustang is much more refined than any previous model when it comes to noise, a much more comfortable car to be in, whether cruising or a full throttle.
The 2010 Mustang has a completely new chiseled approach to interior design, with throwback instrument design complemented by softer-feeling surfaces throughout, and the use of real aluminum plates on the fascias, pedal covers, scuff plates and shifter knob. Interior ambient lighting in the door pockets, cupholders and footwells is a new interior feature, and the lighting colors can be changed through a range of 125 colors with the flip of a switch with the new MyColor system.
New interior and entertainment features for Mustang include a rear-facing video camera, the Sync voice-activated hands-free system for the first time in a Mustang, featuring Sirius satellite radio and satellite navigation with Sirius Travel Link. The new leather-clad steering wheel is a massive affair with six brushed metal spokes in three groups of two, with cruise controls switches and controls for the sound system, a wheel that gives a very big feeling of command. The leather interiors are of a higher grade than ever, the console can now be locked to hide valuables. The instrument panel is made in a single piece.
We found the new Mustang is much quieter than the old car, with improvements in wind noise, road noise, mirror noise and powertrain noise. The radio antenna is moved to the rear to eliminate noise, the wiper design is changed to flatter blades that don't make as much noise, the washer nozzles are inside the hood, and the mirrors are reshaped. Inside, there is more mastic, a better grade of carpeting, a sound-absorbing headliner material, and there is a lot more noise insulation in the body.
Driving Impressions
Our 2010 Mustang GT test car was a GT coupe with a starting price of $27,995 and a bottom line of $34,015 with the $850 delivery charge and options thrown in, including Track Pack (19-inch summer tires and alloy wheels, 3.73:1 axle ratio, revised traction control and yaw control parameters, and upgraded suspension), security package, and comfort group.
The 2010 Mustang GT carries an upgraded 4.6-liter 3-valve V8 engine rated at 315 horsepower (up from 300 on the 2009 version) and 325 foot-pounds of torque (up from 2009's 320 lb-ft). The redline has been raised 250 rpm to 6500 rpm for 2010. The engine has two built-in calibrations for regular or premium fuel (the use of premium fuel adds up to 10 foot-pounds of torque between 1000 and 3000 rpm, they tell us).
The new engine gets its cold intake air from a system built into the grille, not under the hood, the lowest-restriction air intake system ever on the Mustang, with an air induction sound pipe that goes right into the cockpit to make it more pleasing to the driver at full throttle. Ford says the fresh air system alone is worth three tenths of a second in 0-60 mph acceleration improvement because the engine makes much more power with cold air. On the exhaust side, the V-8 version gets 3.5-inch exhaust pipes versus 3.0-inch pipes on the last Mustang, and the V-6 version gets 3.0-inch exhaust pipes instead of 2.5-inch pipes. The standard axle ratio is 3.31:1, with two optional ratios, 3.55:1 or 3.73:1, which automatically comes with larger brakes.
The GT chassis has been upgraded and stiffened using parts and pieces from the 2009 Bullitt Mustang, which means it rides tauter, turns in quicker and has less pitch, dive and body roll than any previous Mustang, as much as 20 percent less body roll. The GT rides on 235/50R18 tires, with 245/45R19 tires optional. If the 19-inch tire and wheel option is selected, the car will automatically be built with a strut tower brace under the hood to connect the two front struts for more strength and better, more accurate handling.
The new tires, whether 17-, 18-, or 19-inch, have been chosen for their much higher levels of both wet and dry grip, and Ford says the 19-inch tires can produce skidpad performance exceeding 0.9g, which is very, very good for such a low-priced car.
ABS brakes, traction control and AdvanceTrac yaw control are standard on all models. For track work, both the traction control and the yaw control can be turned off (but not the ABS), and there is a Sport mode which allows higher handling limits before traction and yaw controls are called in to save the day.
With all of that as prelude, the GT V-8 is an absolute blast to drive. It's very quick off the mark, the manual shifter shifts more cleanly, and the engine sound is always brawny and throaty and beautiful, from its lumpy idle to redline at 6500 rpm. The clutch pedal is light and easy to use, even crawling through rush hour L.A. traffic on Sunset Boulevard.
In the canyons north of L.A., the Mustang showed off more new moves than the entire cast of Dancing With The Stars, extremely quick to transition from left to right and back again with a minimum of body roll, dive and pitch in the suspension.
Likewise, the brakes have much less slop in the pedal, work faster and work harder than the brakes on the outgoing model, very reassuring once you find out just how quick and how fast this new Mustang really is.
The 2010 Ford Mustang is at the front of the pack when it comes to performance-per-dollar. The Mustang V-6 handles almost as well as the 2009 Bullitt model, which is saying something. The GT is quicker, faster, quieter and more refined than any V8 Mustang ever. It may not have the 425 horsepower of the new Chevy Camaro or the Dodge Challenger SRT-8, but it's also not as chunky nor as expensive. The new Mustang has more features, more comfort, and more sheer performance than any previous production Mustang, and it's priced to sell.

Oracle appear to be divesting themselves of chunks of code they no longer wish to maintain for certain small projects. Likewise, certain Sun hardware is no longer of any interest to them (and the licensing terms for hardware support and Solaris have changed subtly - you now _need_ hardware support from Oracle to be able to download patches and security fixes that were previously more freely available.) SGE doesn't fit their picture - a Sun OEM has stepped up to carry on development, all's well. In other areas, there have been forks, for good or ill. OpenSolaris was (fairly unceremoniously) canned and the "open source", non Oracle employee developer community, such as remained, were effectively told they were not welcome. Various interested parties and distributions like Nexenta have combined to form Illumos. They've taken the last available code dumps available to them and are carrying on. Hudson - a build architecture tool - is a subtly different case. Oracle suddenly declared that they were trademarking the name in Europe and the US and that they, effectively, now owned the community. The non-Oracle developers, who had put in much of the work, were left in a difficult position. Oracle could exert undesirable pressure by use of / withholding the name. Following significant negotiations with Oracle which broke down, the original lead developer and others have suggested a full rename instantaneously. Hudson should become Jenkins - Oracle are left with a worthless trademark, no developer community and business will carry on as usual outside Oracle and Oracle infrastructure. OpenOffice had already effectively been forked a couple of times - once by IBM, once by Novell and others - because Sun weren't accepting patches. As Oracle took over attempts were made to re-integrate forked code. The outside developer community has been waiting many years for a proper Community Council. When Oracle appeared difficult/impossible to work with, various vendors and others effectively seceded: forking the code, declaring UDI and a rename of the code and establishing The Document Foundation to maintain it, continue supporting ODF and so on. Seemingly, the entire German translation and localisation team moved across en masse, for example: it is _EXTREMELY_ unclear whether Oracle possesses the will or expertise in house to continue with OpenOffice at the moment. [The commercial product - still StarOffice - appears to have died a lonely, unloved and unmourned death]. Hence LibreOffice: much of the patched code that never got back to sun, a vibrant community. A massively stripped and pruned codebase in a consistent version control system, stripping out much code retained by people keeping it around because they didn't trust the VCSes as they changed. [Michael Meeks pointed out in a blog post how many duplicated copies of icons LO had removed, for example]. In other news: it is possibly unsafe to use Java - it may become significa\ntly more expensive to do so. Virtualisation with VirtualBox is feasible today - but it looks as if it will effectively become a fully closed source product. I'm not sure that Oracle realised what goodwill they have thrown away or whether they know what they're up to. The move beyond a single database product and ancillaries has proved interesting. I personally am now significantly distrustful of Oracle as a company. I would actively suggest to anyone prepared to listen that they consider not doing business with Oracle and that they should stop buying or using any of Oracle's products. Likewise, for them to consider not recommending Oracle or their products to personal or business associates and not to be seen as otherwise supporting Oracle's activities in any way. In the hope that this helps clarify what seems to be happening, All the best, Andy

Attention all PSA Exhibitors - Change in FIAP Rules beginning in 2018
The FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L'ART PHOTOGRAPHIQUE (FIAP) has recently instituted a rule regarding retitling of color and monochrome images. This change in rule will affect any exhibitor entering an exhibition with FIAP patronage beginning in 2018.
In a FIAP document entitled SANCTIONS FOR BREACHING FIAP REGULATIONS AND "RED LIST," the following statement is found:
Re-titling previously accepted images. Sanctions for "re-titling" will be imposed for instances where a previously accepted image or print has been given a different title and/or where a Colour version and a Monochrome version and/or a Print version and a Projected Digital Image version of the same image have been given different titles.
You may interpret this to mean that a monochrome image and a color image from the same capture are considered the same image and must have the same title. At present, if you are entering a PSA-recognized exhibition, you are permitted to retitle a color to monochrome conversion. But be careful, do not enter this image in a FIAP patronized exhibition.

Twinflix delivers a simple, but effective online variant of Tetris, but it looses a lot of appeal when the challenge is taken offline.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Twinflix: The Falling Blocks Puzzle by Franco Mellerio is exactly what you think it is (another Tetris-like), but instead of focusing on replicating the single-player experience you'll find yourself constantly competing against opponents, be it an AI or another player around the world.
Given the twin-display of the game, you'll be locked in to a portrait layout with the controls arranged in the center along your next block display. Instead of a single rotate button, two directional buttons are given to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise, though this seems like an unnecessary complication as it only reduces the taps potentially required by one.
While there are 91 offline 'puzzle' levels available for players to complete, the real challenge comes in taking on players around the world in a multiplayer match. If you start a new game while an Internet connection is available you'll be paired up with another player, exchanging blocks as you complete rows until only one person is left standing.
What makes this truly exciting is how you're constantly paired with new players mid-game, exchanging one board for another as you climb the online ranks. Should an opponent be eliminated while you're matched up with them you'll receive a bonus along with lines being removed from your board to keep you in the game longer.
Although it's easy to consider ignoring a game like Twinflix due to its basic Tetris-like gameplay, the multiplayer component is smooth and cleverly implemented in a way that constantly rewards players for their efforts. If you enjoy competitive high-scoring you'll love being able to compete against players in real-time and interacting with multiple people around the world in a single game has an appeal all of its own.
DescriptionThe long awaiting Multiplayer Tetromino Game! Enjoy Twinflix with superb effect, intense levels, fast shoot out, and perfect user friendly interface. This game is highly recommended to all fans of puzzle and block games.
Twinflix is the most addictive and funny block game for iPhone ever made.

Dosages for Psilocybe australiana Guzmán & Watling, Psilocybe eucalypta Guzmán & More than half of Australia's beef cattle can be found in the coastal areas of Queensland and New South Wales; and the 20 to 30 inch (500-750mm) rainfall belt of Queensland, New South Wales and Northern Victoria, generally provide adequate climatic environments for the growth of psilocybian mushrooms, especially after heavy rains. It has been suggested that "Psilocybe cubensis was introduced into Australia accidentally by early settlers along with their livestock." This same spore dispersal mechanism also probably applies to Copelandia cyanescens, Panaeolus subbalteatus and several additional species known to occur in or around the dung of other ruminants. This includes Psilocybe semilanceata and the non-hallucinogenic "haymaker's" mushroom Panaeolina foenisecii. While cattle are raised in all Australian states, as well as in the central lowlands, recreational users have been known to export these psychoptic species to various areas in Australia from areas where they were collected. In the case of New Zealand, hereafter referred to as NZ, cattle are the primary source for Copelandia cyanescens, but the "liberty cap" mushroom Psilocybe semilanceata only grows in the manured soil of four-legged ruminants and not directly from manure (Jansen, Pers. Comm., 1988). The identification section of this guide documents reported locations for more than 1 dozen species of psilocybian mushrooms in Australia and NZ which most likely have been used at one time or another for recreational purposes. The Mazatec Indians, who have a long tradition of using the mushrooms, inhabit a range of mountains called the Sierra Mazateca in the northeastern corner of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The shamans in this essay are all natives of the town of Huautla de Jimenez. Properly speaking they are Huautecans; but since the language they speak has been called Mazatec and they have been referred to in the previous anthropological literature as Mazatecs, I have retained that name, though strictly speaking, Mazatecs are the inhabitants of the village of Mazatlan in the same mountains.

There is little reason to believe that the vegetation of one half of the globe is poorer or richer in species with hallucinogenic properties than the other half. Why, then, should there be such disparity? Has man in the Old World simply not discovered many of the native hallucinogenic plants? Are some of them too toxic in other ways to be utilized? Or has man in the Old World been culturally less interested in narcotics? We have no real answer. But we do know that the Old World has fewer known species employed hallucinogenically than does the New World: compared with only 15 or 20 species used in the Eastern Hemisphere, the species used hallucinogenically in the Western Hemisphere number more than 100! Yet some of the Old World hallucinogens today hold places of primacy throughout the world. Cannabis, undoubtedly the most widespread of all the hallucinogens, is perhaps the best example. The several solanaceous ingredients of medieval witches' brews—henbane, nightshade, belladonna, and mandrake—greatly influenced European philosophy, medicine, and even history for many years. Some played an extraordinarily vital religious role in the early Aryan cultures of northern India. The role of hallucinogens in the cultural and social development of many areas of the Old World is only now being investigated. At every turn, its exte

Most recreational users of Psilocybe cubensis (when grown in vitro) require a dosage of 1 to 2 gm of dried mushrooms to produce an altered state of consciousness; a clinical dosage for Psilocybe cubensis, on the other hand, had previously been reported as ranging from 3 to 5 gm of dried material. This dosage would be comparable to the amount of fungal material consumed for religious purposes in a Mazatec Indian healing and curing ceremony. In 1982, one research team "found that the level of psilocybin and psilocin varies over a factor of 4 among various in vitro cultures of Psilocybe cubensis, while specimens from outdoors varied tenfold." A fresh dosage of Psilocybe cubensis in Australia would be approximately from 1 to 2 large mushrooms weighing up to as much as one fresh ounce, or as many as from 25 to 50 small mushrooms equaling the same weight amount. Ethnopharmacologist Jonathan Ott (1976, 1993) noted that he has observed "the ingestion of from 0.5 gm to 5.9 gm dried weight (10 gm to 40 gm fresh)", of various species of Psilocybe. Dosage for Psilocybe subcubensis would be the same as for Psilocybe cubensis. Both of these latter two species are macroscopically alike. The usual dosage for Copelandia cyanescens required to induce psychedelic visual effects ranges from 1 to 3 large specimens (cap diameter c. 5 mm), or as many as 5 to l0 medium-sized mushrooms (cap diameter c. 2.5 mm); however, personal tolerance to this species may occur with continued use, and some who consume large amounts of this mushroom have reportedly ingested as many as 50 to 200 fresh specimens of various sizes.
wwwxxnx compass rose tattoo Mind-altering (psilocybine containing) mushrooms have been traditionally used in religious healing and wwwxxnx compass rose tattoo curing ceremonies by nativeThe majority of adverse physical effects or negative psychological reactions produced by "magic mushrooms" generally result from inappropriate set and expectation, or because of improper dosage, which may vary considerably among consumers, different mushroom species, or even within an individual species. The question of dosage is often confused by the variation in the source of the hallucinogenic mushroom species which is consumed. For example, Psilocybe cubensis, when picked and eaten from its natural dung (manure) habitat, produces a relatively mild mindaltering experience, which is evident from the large amounts of fresh specimens needed to achieve a threshold experience. However when grown in vitro (indoor laboratory cultivation and/or illicit cultivation), Psilocybe cubensis apparently can produce a more potent strain capable of inducing a very intense visual, sometimes quite disturbing, experience. This dosage assumes that the consumption of 1 to 3 gm of dried material would be too low if the mushroom specimen came from a wild source. This low potency for Psilocybe cubensis has been confirmed by research scientists Margot & Watling, (1981), who were surprised by the comparatively small amounts of psilocybin and psilocin which they extracted from wild specimens collected from five different locations in Australia. This suggests that a much larger dose would be required to produce significant hallucinations. It is possible that the chemicals most likely degenerated between the time that they were harvested and the time of analysis. However, it should be noted that a strain of Psilocybe cubensis producing different flushes (harvests) will vary somewhat in potency between flushes.
