Homan ready for trip out west
Ohio State has been to big bowl games over the last few years, including several trips to the BCS Championship Game and trips to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl.
But this bowl season may be a more sentimental trip.
For the first time since 1997, the Buckeyes are heading to Pasadena in California for the Rose Bowl, which for years was the only game the Buckeyes, or whomever else won the Big Ten title, would play in.
For junior linebacker Ross Homan, who grew up watching the Buckeyes playing against a Pac-10 team at the Rose Bowl, it's an exciting trip.
"Don't get me wrong, every BCS bowl game is a dream come true, but it's the tradition," said the Coldwater graduate, who made it home before heading out to Pasadena on Christmas. "The goal every year in the Big Ten is a Rose Bowl and a National Championship. For us to accomplish that and get back there for the first time since 1997 is huge for us."
The Buckeyes had some time to savor the outright Big Ten title, having won via an overtime win at Ohio Stadium over Iowa in the next-to-last game of the regular season. The Buckeyes then capped things off by downing Michigan for the sixth time in a row.
The Ohio State defense was a major contributor to the 10-2 record the Buckeyes take into Jan. 1. Nicknamed "The Silver Bullets," the Buckeye D gave up an average of 12.2 points per game and held teams to 262.5 yards of offense per game.
Homan led the Buckeyes with 96 tackles and was second on the team in interceptions with four. Homan, who earned the team's Randy Gradishar Award for top linebacker, also earned the respect of conference coaches and the media in earning consensus second-team All-Big Ten honors.
Since the Michigan game, the Buckeyes have had plenty of time to get ready for Oregon. Finals were done early, and the team finished work in Columbus in time to make it home for the holidays.
"Since we finished classes awhile ago, we could focus on Oregon, Oregon and Oregon," said Homan, who along with younger brother Adam, a freshman fullback who will head to Pasadena as well, earned All-Academic Big Ten honors. "We practiced, we had a lot of time for film, trying to understand who they are, what they do."
Getting home for the holidays didn't mean a complete break.
"Coach Tressel challenges us to study our playbook every day, read the scouting reports, just try and do some homework on them," said Homan. "He said to relax. Enjoy the time with family and enjoy the holidays. When we all make it out to California, it's business again."
As for the Ducks, Homan likes what Oregon brings to the table. Freshman running back LaMichael James has rushed for 1,529 yards and 14 touchdowns on the season, earning second team All-Pac-10 honors and Offensive Freshman of the Year in the conference. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, also a second-team conference selection, has thrown for 2,066 yards and 15 touchdowns this season while running for 796 yards and 12 scores.
"They have a very good offense," said Homan. "The way they run it, primarily as a spread team, they run the ball very efficiently out of it. Their O-Line is good at what they do and they have great running backs like LeGarrette Blount and LaMichael James."

We also take stuff up to our son who also collects them and often has sales in Hervey Bay. He's on Elizabeth Street on the way to the airport. I still haven't taken pics of our new plants. I must get to it. I did some pupping today after we got back from the hospital. Doc was happy with Johnny and wasn't even concerned that we hadn't been to see the cardiac doc yet. Johnny said he hasn't had to use his spray for months so doc wasn't concerned. THEN..... you guessed it .... tonight he had the worst angina attack he has ever had. he thought it was the real thing but the spray eased it and left him with a headache all night. I guess we better chase up that cardiac appointment. I'm certainly not dropping his medication like doc told us to do today. don't want a flare up again. Anyway I hope Karen is OK and her heart is behaving itselft too. It is so quiet in here isn't it? I checked in the other night and no new postings since the last one the day before so I went back to fb. I've actually turned computer off a couple times and watched a movie ..... really watched not just glancing every now and then. If you get the chance watch The Zookeeper. It is so funny and worth the giggle or 2. Anyway I might log off now and have a shower and off to bed. Night all. Wendy Pics are 3 of my till capitatas ..... marron, peach and red. hope they load |

Driver suffers minor injuries in one-car accident on Highway 16
The car's passenger side suffered serious damage in the accident.
An Elk Grove man suffered minor injuries Friday afternoon when his vehicle ran off Jackson Road on the accident-prone stretch between the North and South gates.
CHP Officer E. Persijn said the driver of the 1997 Ford Taurus was returning from hs job in Ione about 3:30 p.m. when he entered the eastbound lane of traffic on a curve, overcorrected, returned to the westbound lane and ran off the side of the road into a utility pole on the golf course side of the street. The passenger side of the car was extensively damaged.
"Thank God there wasn't a passenger," Persijn said. The driver refused to go to the hospital, Persijn said, even though he had suffered bruising and cuts to his face.
That stretch of Highway 16 had two serious accidents last year.

To the surprise of nobody, NBC canceled new drama "The Playboy Club" Tuesday after just three weeks on the air. But here's the rub on the TV season's first cancellation: The series was hopelessly misunderstood before it even aired.
How's this for heresy: "Playboy" actually wasn't as bad as its critics made it out to be. The problem was that the series' baldfaced appropriation of "Mad Men's" retro stylings gave too many viewers the impression it was aiming to be a similar show when it was anything but.
"Playboy" was never intended to be the psychologically complex, novelistic work "Mad" was. A more apt comparison might have been a past NBC series: "Las Vegas," another sexy, bubbly soap set in a nightclub setting without a substantive thought rattling around in its empty pretty head. The plot was nothing more than a pretense for giving its gorgeous cast something to do while the cameras were rolling. That "Playboy" just happened to be set in the 1960s was besides the point, an element borrowed from "Mad" but that's where the comparison should have ended.
Of course, it's not like "Playboy" wasn't inviting that comparison. Series star Eddie Cibrian not only looked like Don Draper, there were scenes with his velvety voiceover that sounded exactly like Jon Hamm's speech patterns. But "Playboy" sought to repackage the bygone era so exquisitely depicted in "Mad" for broader consumption, but critics confused the wrapping paper with the gift inside.
Compounding "Playboy's" problems was the absurd witch hunt that watchdog groups like Parents Television Council mounted before the series aired based on completely unfounded assumptions about the series' content, which was no racier than anything else on primetime TV. Because these kind of manufactured controversies end as serving nothing more than free marketing, this became another, unintended way of distorting public perception so that it disconnected from the reality of the show.
The audience was probably somewhat comprised of prurient eyes ready to see some free over-the-air skin who came away sorely disappointed. Aggravated as NBC was by the witch hunt, it probably drove more eyes to the series than anything else. Without PTC, "Playboy" might have performed even more pitifully–we're talking "Free Agents" level.
But NBC and "Playboy" producers aren't entirely victims of circumstances beyond their control when it came to setting expectations for what the series was. They made the bizarre move of trying to position the series at its Television Critics Association press tour appearance in August as some kind of ode to female empowerment, which came across as a desperate reach for a series grasping to find some kind of redeeming quality that wasn't there. "Playboy" never really knew what to do with itself; at least "Vegas" knew it was a truffle, nothing more.
Lastly, let's not forget the more practical consideration that is time slot. Even if "Playboy" was a great show, it was going up against two stalwart dramas in CBS's "Hawaii 5-0" and ABC's "Castle," not to mention "Monday Night Football" on ESPN; upside was severly limited. Perhaps that should come as some small comfort to the "Playboy" cast and crew; even if it didn't suffer so many perception problems, it was doomed from the start.

Exotic McLaren arrives in Houston during national tour
Updated 12:17 pm, Friday, October 5, 2012
One of the fastest and most exotic sports cars on earth - the McLaren 12C Spider - landed in Houston for a promotional stop at the Houston Motor Club in West Houston.
McLaren's hard-top convertible, which soon will begin production nationwide, can top speeds over 200 mph, but it will set you back more than a quarter of a million dollars. The Houston event marked one of a handful of national stops for the luxury car.
"It's taken super cars to a whole new area," Simon Crossley, a sales consultant with Dallas-based Park Place Premiere Collection, said of the Spider. "McLaren calls this the 'and' car. It's fast 'and' it's efficient and it's aggressive 'and' it's comfortable."
More than 100 sports car aficionados and were on hand at the motor club to see the convertible, which is comprised of carbon fiber and fiberglass to make it one of the lightest high-performance vehicles on the market.
"Back in the '90s, McLaren built the F1, the fastest naturally-aspirated car (engine) in the world," said Crossley, who is traveling with the 12C on its whirlwind national tour. "What was innovative about that car was all hand-laid carbon. But it started at $800,000 on up, and if you could find one today, they're well over $1 million."
McLaren produced only four F1's from 1992-98, Crossley said.
The 12C, which was dreamed up by McLaren in 2006, took four years of development, and the car maker's coupe was launched late last year. The 2012 12C Spiders are finally available for the public.
But don't come with small pockets. These high-end performance vehicles start at $265,000 and go up to $330,000, according to Crossley.
If you're on a budget, however, McLaren may be able to accommodate, Crossley said, pointing out that "most of the clients who have invested in these are not monthly payment buyers."
A monthly car note for the McLaren 12C Spider, he said, would be "probably upwards of $2,800 to $2,000 a month, depending on how much a buyer puts down, the length of the contract, and the buyer's credit score."
Houston resident Stephanie Southall, an insurance company manager, said she didn't want to miss the chance to see the McLaren Spider.
"I am here to look but not touch," she said.

Thread: Starnes Hating, Fighter Bashing

Starnes Hating, Fighter Bashing
**** you. **** every one of you who knocks on fighters. I don't know where people seem to get off making fun of guys who are agreeing to put their asses on the line in a cage fight.
Especially when most of those same people barely even train, and if they do, it's a once or twice a week BJJ white belt affair, where they spend the first half of class trying to remember how to pass guard, then sitting on the side of the mat when they are supposed to be rolling, talking about "OMG DID U SEE KALIB RUN AWAY? LOLZ" when they should be getting in the mix and actually training, so that they can perhaps one day be worth the ball sweat in even an amateur fighter's groin cup. The same people who then laugh at "crappy TMA" schools because they train at >insert Gracie< BJJ Academy, when probably a teenage point fighting TKDer who wrestled in Jr. High could take them in a real fight.
Yeah what happened last night was funny, but there's a difference between chuckling at Nate's antics, and **** talking a fighter, saying BS like how he should be kicked out of the UFC just because he got gun-shy and began backpedaling. This isn't the first time I've seen the coddled masses of armchair experts and Partial Artist hobbyists come clamoring to take a collective piss on a fighter. It's fucking pathetic and embarrassing to call yourself a fan of the sport. Go watch baseball or something, where it's accepted etiquette to ****-talk the players from the stands.

--I agree. While certain fighters may suck by UFC standards they would still absolutely destroy like 99.9999999999997% of the people who bash them.

This brings up the age-old question of whether someone has to be at the same ability of an athlete in order to criticize said athlete's performance. I think most would agree the answer is 'no.' I don't see why MMA should be any different.
(For the record, I haven't said anything publicly about Kalib Starnes, nor do I usually talk bad about fighters. (Unless they're named Matt Hughes (but not because he can't fight, it's because he has a douchebag personality.)))

In all seriousness, I predicted that some big man would come to Starnes' defense. That was just as surefire as a bunch of guys coming on and bashing Starnes. For Christ's sakes man, just point and laugh.

There are differences between criticism, complaint as a consumer, and simply **** talking.
Criticism: "What was that? He could have easily caught Nate with a solid punch as he was running like that. Why did he keep back-pedaling? Embarrassing."

Phosphorus placement for wheat and lupins in WA cropping systems
Chen, W., Bell, R., Brennan, R. and Bolland, M. (2010) Phosphorus placement for wheat and lupins in WA cropping systems. In: 2010 WA Agribusiness Crop Updates, 25 - 26 February, Perth, Western Australia
Significant vertical stratification of soil nutrients, particularly soil immobile nutrients (such as phosphorus (P)) in long-term zero-till fields has been reported in both Australia and overseas (White 1990; Howard et al. 1999). Soil nutrient vertical stratifications could have a significant impact on availability of nutrients to crops, as soil immobile nutrient availability, root growth and activity are more vulnerable to drought in the surface soil layer than those in sub-surface layers. Placing fertiliser deeper in soil may improve nutrient uptake by crops in soils with nutrient stratification. However, the reported crop grain yield (GY) responses from deep P fertiliser placement in the field experiments being conducted across different states in Australia have been inconsistent. This paper combines analysis of literature data and APSIM simulations to evaluate the key factors (such as crop type, season and, etc.) driving the crop GY responses from deep P placement so that site-specific P placement advice could be developed to improve crop P use efficiency.

Welcome to Bear Country
Solo camping in the Sierras' Little Lakes, a 6.5-hour drive north of S.D.
Veronica Remsbottom 8:43 p.m., March 26
Thirty-eight years ago tomorrow, in 1967, Jim Morrison -- once a student at Clairemont's Longfellow Elementary School -- appeared with the Doors at Balboa Stadium. It was the band's first appearance in Morrison's former hometown. His parents still lived in Coronado. At the time, the Doors' first album was fresh in the bins and Morrison's naval officer father had risen to the rank of rear admiral. Reportedly, his parents did not attend this, or any other Doors concert, in San Diego.
The Doors played three other San Diego concerts with Morrison; their last show was on August 22, 1970, at the Sports Arena. After Morrison died, they returned to Balboa Stadium one more time -- August 13, 1972 -- for a taped performance widely circulated among Doors concert collectors under titles such as Turn Me On, Dead Man, and Break on Through Balboa.

1 webcam on two computers
Hi all,
I need to project the images from one webcam to two beamers.
Each beamer is connected to one powerbook.
I've never done this before.
I thought i'd use the udpsend and udp receive objects.
If i plug the output of jit.qt.grab to a udpsend object and plug the
corresponding udp receive to a jit.window on the
other computer, max complains and says :
jit.window : couldn't get matrix object
I guess it's because it's on the other computer but…
what should i do ?
Can you help ?
You should use jit.net.send/recv for sending video. Depending on your
network and video size, you might want to convert it to uyuv before
yeah thanks, that's what i understood…
The only thing is that i don't have jitter 1.5 here…
Do you think it's possible without loosing image quality ?
Otherwise… i'll have to get Jitter 1.5…
if you're pre-1.5, there is also the jit.bixcp object set,
for download at http://www.bix.at/software/main_tools.html
if I remember correctly they only send 1 plane matrices, but you can
glue the planes together and cut them loose after receiving, depending
on the size you need: there's a limitation to the maximum matrix size
having to do with the maximum size of the packets you can send, but
there's all kinds of workarounds possible (sending r, g, b seperately,
cutting your matrix to pieces and assembling them etc.)
good luck,

A few comments from the developer…
BIXCP is indeed a grayscale (in Jitter-speak: single plane) protocol.
The original jit.bixcp objects had an additional limitation based on
the hardware used for the "Medienfassade" at the Graz Kunsthaus (for
which BIXCP was designed). The Medienfassade was 64×25. Mind you,
those were *big* pixels.
The maximum pixel count was raised to just over 32,000 in the
commercial versions of the BIXCP objects, distributed with the Litter
Bundle for Jitter. The limitation was actually based on the maximum
amount of memory that Max could allocate on the fly at the time the
bixcp objects were ported to Windows. If there were a demand it would
now, I think, be possible to double that upper bound.
Hope this information is of use.

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Tobey Maguire, Joan Allen and William H. Macy.

I have it: 7 I had it: 10 I want it: 48
Lancome presents a summer version of famous classic Tresor. This is a lighter and modern reinterpretation of the well-known eau de perfume, which will arrive on the market this summer with its airy, floral-fruity aromas full of freshness and uplift.
Fragrance Tresor Sheer Fragrance was created by Sophia Grojsman, (just like the original Tresor from 1990) and she says the following: "We wanted to created a unique, independent fragrance which clearly expresses lightness and freshness hiding in the original Tresor."
Top notes include white pepper, fresh Italian bergamot and Mate essences. A heart features rose in harmony with freesia and airy, floral bouquet. A base develops a gentle wave of sandalwood, which adds more structure and fullness to the perfume.
The flacon has the same form as its antecedents and is decorated with a ring of organza black rose on the neck of the bottle. Tresor Sheer Fragrance will be available as 30ml EDT (1.0 oz) from April 2009. Face of this edition is charming Kate Winslet, British actress who won the Oscar.

I really don't know which Tresor I'm reviewing here. It's getting confusing...
I'm sure it's not original Tresor nor Elixir. It is a light version maybe the EdT version of original because it smells exactly like that one only lighter. Same powdered rose, slightly antique and vaguely cold, very romantic and peachy rose, but it's much less intense and very suitable for warmer climates where old good original Tresor EdP could be too heavy.
it's very beautiful. well designed though I don't like the fragrance itself very much. If this version smells fresh & more clean that the original, I may buy one to pamper myself with it :)
Even I love Tresor, but I don't like the design of this bottle, black rose, it doesn't fit with the bottle, T_T. And I have not given it a try, can some1 tell me how you feel, thanks, :x

If DelBay had to go to $100 they'll all be at $100 and still just breaking even. Bring in a couple of out of town judges and check the cost. Easily $300-$400 driving or flying.

Interesting theory though. If we could raise entry fees to where me and 11 other dogs were entered...
But I still would have to win.

"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
Cause it takes a special kind of crazy to run FTs!
Special kind of crazy regards,
The Open is $100, The Am is $80 - so if I'm an Am and enter both the Open and Am with my dog, that equals $90 per stake - still reasonable. What the larger entry fee does is help with the cost of putting on the trial and passes that on to those who are absent from the trial (i.e. pro handles dog only entered in the Open). Second thing I noticed is the trial runs Sat - Mon...makes pretty good sense what the club is doing - trying to encourage Amateurs to show up and be part of the process - good for them! At least that's my take on it.

It seems to me that people run in a hunt test as they are competing against a standard instead of other dogs where if they pass that standard they go home with a ribbon and a pass toward a title. I am not saying in any way that one is better than the other as I plan on trialing once I have a dog of caliber, until then I will continue gettin experience in handling at the hunt test. I believe that both events would cost the same to run, it just comes down to people's choice on what to run. Just my opinion.

[QUOTE;1195962]By that accounting I can't believe I missed it. I can't believe more clubs are not folding. The hunt test game is growing every year and the trials have not. I wonder why more people don't run trials[/QUOTE]
Entry fees are a small part of the cost pie when it comes to campaigning a dog in field trials. With plenty of trials having 100+ plus dogs entered in the Open it doesn't seem that entry costs are a big deal to many who play the game.
I also don't think there are very many who would use entry fees as a basis to decide whether to compete in field trials or run hunt tests.
Tom Wall
I am an amateur and run hunt tests. It is not so much the money it costs me to enter, although $100 is a lot to me, it is being able to get my dog in. With limited entries, it seems that the Master fills up very quickly with the pros dogs. I 'm not knocking the pros because we need them, but I wish it were easier to get my one dog in.

Tom wall you are correct in that some of the folks that run trials could care less about the entry fee and campaigning a dog is expensive. I guess the point that I am trying to understand is that if entry fees continue to rise at the rate they are they who will be left to compete , judge, Marshall , shot flyers, and so on.

Along with letting your child seek his own heroes and role models, there are things you can do to allow him to be male. Whether or not you have a man around to show him the ropes, your son can grow up to be an emotionally healthy male just as many boys of single moms have already done. Did you know that Tom Cruise, Ed Bradley, Alexander Haig, Bill Clinton, Alan Greenspan, Bill Cosby, Dr. Benjamin Carson and Les Brown were raised by single moms?
The following tips have been compiled from my own experience, the expertise of "current or retired" single mothers and single parent advisors.
1. Accept your son's differences.
2. Never make him the man around the house. True, you want to teach him to grow to be man, but there is a distinction between being the "little man" and being responsible for things that adults are supposed to do. Your child is not your confidant, your knight in shining armor or your rescuer. Especially important for the newly widowed or divorced, correct people if they suggest that now your son "is the man around the house," or that he should "take care of Mommy."
3. When you look at your child and see his father's face, it's okay to get a little emotional. After all, if your ex gave you anything of value, you're looking at it. Let your son know how important he is to you.
4. Point out the positive qualities in men you see on a day to day basis. This means that even if you're buying your son baseball shoes, and the salesman is especially attentive or friendly, point this trait out by mentioning what a helpful person he is, or "Isn't this man very nice?"
5. Be a little creative in helping your child learn guy stuff. For instance, many single mothers report concern over their son's using the potty while sitting, or playing with their makeup. Chances are, your child won't spend the rest of his life peeing sitting down while wearing mascara. Homosexuality doesn't exist because you didn't monitor the morning makeup sessions! But if you want to get a head start on defining the differences between secondary sex characteristics between males and females, try this: Set out a little basket just for him. Fill it with a mock razor, gentle shaving cream, watered-down cologne, his toothbrush, toothpaste and a comb. Let him know this is what most guys do every morning to their faces.
6. As your child matures, investigate local boys groups or clubs that he could join such as Cub Scouts. Don't be intimidated by such sponsored events as Father/son boat races or picnics. Let the troop leader know that with the number of single parent families, you would be comfortable if the den would acknowledge parent-child events. But the biggest benefit of scouting that should be experienced by all boys is that initiation ritual that welcomes them into the pack. The especial handshakes might remind you of reruns of the Honeymooners when Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton demonstrated their Racoon Lodge handshake. But this is an essential boost to the self esteem of little boys, that feeling of belonging to a group with whom they can closely identify.
7. Teach him your values, but let him express them uniquely. He's a male and will respond to emotional situations somewhat differently than you might.
8. If your boy is really active, get a chinning bar for his room for rainy days. Exercise is critical for all children, but in cases where boys can't seem to center themselves as comfortably as girls, they might need other means of releasing excessive energy. Check out your local Target store for an expandable closet bar, the kind that has suction cups on the ends. Install between the door jambs of his room, and when he gets rowdy, have him "do ten." Make sure you tighten the bar so it safely stays in place and show your son the correct way to grip so he doesn't loosen it from the doorway. Start low, but raise the bar as your son grows.
9. Role models are important and will be found in every aspect of your son's life. Boys need men, but not necessarily fathers. Just because a father lives at home does not mean a boy is being "fathered."
10. Enjoy your time with your baby or toddler by not worrying about whether they are missing out on anything by not having "dad" around. At the same time, try not to avoid "daddy stuff" totally. Even though many children's books feature animal families raised only by mom, it's okay to read stories about all kinds of families to your child. Place a high value on male and female relationships in order to give your child a realistic perspective.
And remember, try not to have negative attitudes toward men, even if you became a single mother out of the most excruciating circumstances.

hey guys. I made a patch to control the tracking generator and modulation matrix on one of my synths. it uses the NRPN externals that theo made (thanks theo!). i have one issue with it though. I'm using a [dial] object to control one of the parameters that has a range of 2000. when i use the mouse to set the dial it's not very accurate unless i resize the dial to be really big. is there a version of [dial] or some untold argument for [dial] that will let me have a small dial in my UI and still be able to step through the entire range of it's values one at a time with the mouse?
One common fix to this well known UI issue (not just with Max/Msp!!) is to provide two knobs: one sets the 'rough' setting, the other provides the fine adjustment. Another approach might be to provide a up and down increment button that taps the result only one step at a time…the knob again is used for rough adjustment. I prefer dual dials… there was even a js example given here (somewhere) that had the knobs concentric, and returned the final amount, all in js…somewhere here in this forum, as i recall. maybe in ableton max4live forum? nah, here somewhere just after release of Max5…look for it! (i'm at my real work, & this is not property insurance related…go for it: it's out there…) Good luck with your search/ coding effort… j2k
If you press the shift key you'll have a more precise resolution.

@ Aznime:
The not-seeing of the explosions gives it some kind of humor, thats all right
This had a great plot and storyline, and I liked the time lapse in each scene. The art and animation was great and the voice acting was marvelous. The humor in this made me laugh (liked the cast away reference).
One thing I noticed was that it kind of lacked consistency. I would have loved to see Thomas/Clarence (right) grow a beard and grow old, or at least see the plane in the background disappear(it was on the island the entire time). Also, you could have added the scenes where the pilot destroys the raft/helicopter. Explosions would make it cooler!
Very Funny!
AeonStars, great work on this flash!
I know all your hard work finally paid-off and it was all worth it!

Martin, I am bummed. I was in NYC this week as well, and we could have gotten together. Plus my friend in NY is now a fan of your blog. I could have introduced you. If you're still in NY, please eat at Grand Sichuan. Order from the Sichuan menu. Get the Wonder Sauce.

Maryann - I'm so glad you've linked to your blog, now I will add it to the blogroll. Sorry, I'm so lame.
Did you see any good shows in NY? - 3/27/2006 10:13 PM
- maryann devine said...
Martin, I was only in NYC for two days, so my friend and I concentrated on the Biennial. I have to say, nothing in the Biennial stood out for me as surprising, perceptive, original, etc. The overcrowded installation didn't do the artists any favors. I had a very hard time focusing on each artist's work. Also -- what is up with all the old work included in the show? I can understand that it is to show influences, but so much? I'm going to try to go back so I can look at things more closely, and to spend more time with the videos.
- martin said...
i only had one morning and one day for seeing art, so i went to chelsea and skipped the biennial.
i am happy for zoe strauss, i like her photos and am inspired by the way she does things, but overall it sounds pretty awful.
if i get up again before it closes and there isn't anything better to see i might go, but... something tells me there would be better things to see.
just found out that a friend is driving up to philly for a wedding saturday and i MIGHT tag along.. but she is leaving at about 1030am and i am running a 10k at 830am, so don't know if i will make it.
i finally added your blog!!!!!! - 3/29/2006 6:46 PM
- maryann devine said...
That's so funny that we did the opposite things in NY. Can you believe I missed Zoe Strauss's photos in the Biennial? After we left, I said, hey, we didn't see Zoe Strauss -- one of the artists I was very much interested in seeing. Somehow, we missed her room, but I'm confident that I'll go back.
If you're interested in getting together this weekend, let me know. I have to work in the evening on Sat. night, but could get together before or after, or Sunday...
Thanks so much for adding my blog! I better get on the ball. - 3/30/2006 3:19 PM

MaryAnn - i will probably go to Frank's or something Saturday night. Sunday i think we are going to the museum, or browsing antique row, or both.
this is IF i make it. she is leaving by 10:30am but i am running in a 10K at 8:30am.
HH - i will look for you. where is his show? - 3/31/2006 8:29 PM

Martin, if you're in Phila, you're probably not reading this. I am working a gala black tie event on Sat. evening. If I have the energy, I may stop by Franks and look for you. I'll be the only one in a gown, so it will be easy to spot me.
Are you seeing the Swarm show at Fabric Workshop? I think it's open on Sunday, and supposed to be great. Have not yet seen it myself. - 4/01/2006 10:57 AM

This was years before francis scott key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner."
After watching the American victory at the Battle of Fort McHenry, francis scott key wrote the "Star-Spangled Banner."
The patriotic song, written by Washington attorney francis scott key, had been popular ever since it was written in August 1814.
In "the antiente citie" francis scott key found many things which appealed to his patriotic soul.
A wide thoroughfare which follows the curve of the water front for several miles is named in honor of francis scott key.
On the bottom of the frame is printed in large black letters the name, francis scott key.
"metal piece that works a lock," from Old English cæg "key," of unknown origin, with no certain cognates other than Old Frisian kei. Perhaps related to Middle Low German keie "lance, spear" on notion of "tool to cleave with," from Proto-Germanic *ki- "to cleaver, split" (cf. German Keil "wedge," Gothic us-kijans "come forth," said of seed sprouts, keinan "to germinate"). But Liberman writes, "The original meaning of *kaig-jo- was presumably '*pin with a twisted end.' Words with the root *kai- followed by a consonant meaning 'crooked, bent; twisted' are common only in the North Germanic languages." Modern pronunciation is a northern variant predominating from c.1700; earlier it was often spelled and pronounced kay.
Figurative sense of "that which serves to open or explain" was in Old English; meaning "that which holds together other parts" is from 1520s. As "answer to a test," it is from chess, short for key move, "first move in a solution to a set problem." Musical sense of "tone, note" is 15c., but modern sense of "scale" is 1580s, probably as a translation of Latin clavis or French clef (see clef; also cf. keynote).

key See cay. |
The main or central note of a piece of music (or part of a piece of music). Each key has its own scale, beginning and ending on the note that defines the octave of the next scale. The key of C-major uses a scale that starts on C and uses only the white keys of the piano. In a piece composed in the key of C, the music is likely to end on the note C, and certain combinations of notes based on C will predominate.

Disturbing lumps are growing in certain areas of the property market. Some are calling for them to be cut out before they go septic.
The man tasked with maintaining the country's financial stability, Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler, is under pressure to wield the knife.
He's aware of the threat that housing inflation poses, describing prices in parts of the country as "overheating" in a speech earlier this week.
Wheeler's concern is not housing affordability, but the risk of a bubble forming in the market which would rock the foundations of the financial system if it burst.
His current tool of choice - the Official Cash Rate (OCR) - may not be right for the job. Raising the OCR, often dubbed a "blunt instrument", to cool the property market would also splash cold water on a recovering economy.
But now the central bank is developing four shiny new tools.
In the next few weeks it will release a consultation paper setting out the framework and parameters for potentially using the new gadgets.
The tool that has drawn the most interest is a cap on loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) for residential mortgages, which would prevent people from borrowing above a set percentage of a property's value.
The LVR cap is supposedly more like a scalpel. The idea is that it could excise the malignant growth in the relevant bits of the housing market without flattening the whole economy.
But the big question is whether such intervention in the housing market would actually work.
What if New Zealand already had an LVR cap in place?
Based on the latest figures from the big four Aussie banks and Kiwibank, a ban on home loans with LVRs over 90 per cent would have wiped 7.6 per cent, or $12.75b, off their mortgage books.
Push that cap down to 80 per cent, and more than 20 per cent of the banks' home loans would be down the gurgler - a staggering $35 billion worth of lending.
Of course, there's no suggestion that a cap on LVRs would, or could, be applied retrospectively.
But the numbers show how lucrative the higher-risk LVR brackets are to the banks. They also give an indication of just how much heat would evaporate out of the market if low-equity house hunters were left out in the cold.
You'd expect the banks to be worried at the prospect of having their business impinged on in such dramatic fashion.
But Kirk Hope, chief executive of industry lobby group the New Zealand Bankers Association, is remarkably calm.
"It needs to be taken in the context of the design," he says.
Hope is waiting for more details to emerge - especially the size of the cap itself, and the timing of its potential use.
"There's a lot of details that would need to be nutted out around both of those things."
As we shall see, he has good reason for not losing any sleep.
But first, let's address the question of whether banks are to blame for fuelling the housing bubble's growth with easy credit.
It's certainly true they have loosened their lending criteria from the conservatism brought on by the global financial crisis.
Auckland's Go2Guys mortgage broker Campbell Hastie specialises in first-home buyers, who often take out high LVR loans. He confirms banks have been happy to lend at 95 per cent, and sometimes 100 per cent, for the past couple of years.
"Some have got a bigger appetite than others for that space," he says.
Based on the state of their existing loan books, Westpac and ANZ have taken on the largest ongoing exposure to high LVR mortgages in recent years.
Westpac started reining that in recently, while ANZ and BNZ both aggressively courted buyers in the higher LVR brackets during the latest December quarter.
But Hastie says the banks aren't just dishing out credit willy-nilly. "On the one hand, yes, they're happy to go to 95 per cent but, on the other, they're assessing those people fairly stringently."
And Hope is sure banks have managed their risk profiles well, as evidenced by the relatively few mortgagee sales since the global financial crisis: "Even if you take into consideration mortgages that have been issued now, the risk profile won't have actually changed that much."
But capping LVRs to take heat out of the housing market is an experimental procedure.
"It probably would have the desired effect - in terms of cooling things off," says Hastie. "But we don't know what the collateral damage would be."
This week BNZ economists suggested the LVR tool could turn out to be even more of a blunt instrument than OCR.
Hastie thinks the unwanted distortions will make it unlikely the Reserve Bank goes ahead with a cap.
Firstly, it might price first-home buyers out of the market.
Hastie says it's already hard enough, especially in Auckland, to scrape together a deposit for a home. "I don't know how that would go down as far as votes are concerned."
The burden will fall on younger and lower-income people, says BNZ chief economist Tony Alexander.
"[But] people like me, almost 50 years old, mortgage paid off years ago, cash sitting there - I'll be able to go out and buy some extra houses if I want to."
He says the underlying demand for a roof overhead won't change, and cashed-up property investors will rush to fill the void instead.
One way around it would be to create an exemption for first-home buyers. Of course, that might defeat the point of the exercise.
"The moment you put any rules like that in place, people look for ways to get around them," says Claire Matthews, a banking expert at Massey University.
Borrowers could ask a friend or family member to lend them the missing bit of equity, or go to non-bank lenders who don't fall under the Reserve Bank's jurisdiction.
This "disintermediation" effect was one of the concerns the central bank noted in the past.
The banks are also likely to have some tricks up their sleeves.
"If you put an LVR cap in, what may happen is the bank may take other forms of security, for example," says Matthews.
They might even simply leave the missing portion of equity unsecured - and charge a higher interest rate to atone the risk.
Matthews says that, perversely, it's possible an LVR cap could actually boost bank profitability by giving them the ability to charge more.
Of course, the Reserve Bank is acutely aware of these issues.
During the last credit bubble, the central bank and Treasury focused their collective brainpower on the concept of an LVR cap - and concluded it shouldn't be developed further.
"The reason they rejected it in the past is the complications that come with it, and particularly the potential for distortions," says Matthews.
Some of the issues the RBNZ identified in a 2011 briefing paper included avoidance, the risk of pushing lending outside the banking sector, lack of effectiveness and intrusiveness.
So what would the tipping point be to make it worthwhile?
Matthews says it will come down to just how concerned Wheeler gets about the housing market. "You do have a different [RBNZ] governor in place and he may take a different perspective."
Or perhaps not.
It's worth noting house prices have not yet surpassed the previous peak and, in some areas, they're falling in real terms. Then there's the likelihood of an OCR rise in the next year or so, which could be enough to blunt the out-of-step growth.
Unless things really heat up, it looks likely Wheeler will leave at least that shiny new tool lying untouched on the operating room table.

Reader recommendation: The Entertainer
Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.
The Entertainer, by New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot, is an excellent book on many levels. Talbot weaves together the history of moviemaking from the silent era to almost current times, with the biography of her father, Lyle Talbot, movie actor but never quite a star. Talbot's love for her father's storytelling – which becomes hers – is evident.

Another comparison shot with the Alden Barrie last PTBs I happened to be wearing today - despite being so similar in size (at least to the eye) the 744 provides a slightly roomier fit in the toe box. I also noticed the heel area of the 744 is less firm:
They feel great - soft, pliable & comfortable out of the box. This is my fifth pair of boots (the others are Aldens - two 10D Barrie, one 10D Trubalance and one 10.5D Plaza) and so far I'm pleased with the fit of the Wolverine 744:

In Milton's case, it was a different ballgame. The Panther softball team not only lost 1-0 to local rival Jersey Shore, it was the first time a run even crossed home plate this season.
There's no worries for the team, a state finalist in AAA last season. Everything is OK, and the girls are still rolling along.
Last week, Milton won the annual Williamsport softball tournament -- defeating District 2's Delaware Valley in the championship.
But it was an impressive 9-0 victory over defending AA state champ Loyalsock that sent shock waves through the state.
Nicole Smith, a Lock Haven University recruit, was her normal self -- smashing a home run to center field in a 3-for-4 day at the plate, tossing a complete-game two-hitter and finishing with eight strikeouts.
"We knew it was an important game and it was kind of like a measuring stick of where we're at right now. We had been struggling the last couple games and this game really helped our confidence," Smith said to the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. "If we keep hitting like this we're going to be hard to beat."
Milton didn't wait to score, pushing three runs across the dish on Loyalsock ace Porshia Wilson, and leading 5-0 after two innings.
"It's not so much even the hits, it's the approach," Milton coach Bill Keefer said. "We were getting good strikes to hit at the beginning of the year and then we lost it for about four games in a row where we were swinging at pitches in the dirt and swinging at pitches over their head. Some of them looked like they didn't even care if they were there or not, but tonight the focus was there again and we swung at good pitches. If we swing at good pitches we're pretty tough."
In the championship, Smith had three RBI and struck out six in the victory over Del Valley, 7-2. The senior standout also had an inside-the-park home run.
"We made three crucial errors to give runs in that game," Delaware Valley coach Angelo Matz said to the paper. "If we don't do that it's a lot closer game and anything can happen but when you make mistakes against a team like that it's hard to come back with what they have on the mound."
In the Jersey Shore game, it was a Rebecca Glenn single to plate teammate Caitlin Cromley in the second inning that gave Shore its game-winning run.
"Having a great practice was good. Going up against Smith, I'll tell you what, my arm is a little sore," Shore manager Jeremy Lazorka said. "I've been throwing batting practice at Arizona for the past three years, and I had to come here and fire it in there. She throws the ball hard, so my arm is definitely sore from throwing it as hard as I could to get these girls ready. Hopefully, it showed."
Baseball: Bald Eagle captures Giles championship
Entering the weekend's Pat Giles Tournament at Montoursville High School, you probably wouldn't have pointed to District 6's Bald Eagle Area as the favorite.
Central Mountain, 12-1 entering play, had beaten Bald Eagle twice in the regular season, 10-2 and 14-5. State College has had the Eagles' number in the past several seasons. Host Montoursville has one of the better pitching staffs in District 4.
When the dust settled, it was the underdog BEA that carried away the championship.
A.J. Robinson threw a gem in the semifinals, holding State College to seven hits and striking out 10 Little Lions in a lopsided, 8-2 victory. Toby Quick had two hits in the game, while Joe Pillot and Mark Kotzur each had home runs.
In the title tilt against Central Mountain, which beat Montoursville in the other semi, Robinson smashed a three-run homer to right field and the defense held on for a 3-2 victory.
Bald Eagle (9-7) and pitcher Miles Etters worked out of two late-game jams -- one that included bases loaded with no outs in the sixth inning.
Robinson was named as the tournament's most valuable player.
"I let on to this all along. This is an outstanding group of athletes, and a great group of ballplayers," BEA manager Jim Gardner said. "We are proven. It's just taking some time to get them in the right frame of mind and to come together. Here we are, at the right time of the season, to be doing this kind of stuff. This weekend was huge for us in so many ways. Beating two Quad-A schools will give us the extra seeding points, and Central Mountain has that .700 or better winning percentage is added points. It's what we needed. We have to keep getting better, and we can't regress. We have to keep getting better for the postseason."
Mountoursville sent State College to its third straight loss, beating the Little Lions in extra innings.
Williamsport baseball, tennis rolling
Williamsport baseball was struggling at the beginning of the season but never wavered.
The school's boys tennis team, on the other hand, has been steamrolling past the competition.
On the courts, the Lycoming County school captured its second straight District 2-4 title with a victory over Abington Heights in the final. Williamsport eliminated Wyoming Valley West in the semis.
Mateus Camasmie, Michael Tobiasz and Kenan Rajjoub were all winners in singles' play.
"This is one of the best tennis teams in Williamsport history," said coach Leroy Baer to the Sun-Gazette. "I'm proud of the guys. We had injuries to overcome. Overcoming obstactles of beating Montoursville and Danville, two of our toughest opponents in league play. To beat them convincely is a big win for these guys. It meant a lot."
The baseball team started the season at 2-6, but have turned the season around -- standing at 7-6.
Last week, the Millionaires rallied from three- and four-run deficits in victories over Altoona and DuBois.

Blackpool's Gilks pulled off a flying save to keep out Hull midfielder David Meyler's goalbound shot in the 60th minute, while opposite number Jakupovic was at full stretch himself to turn away a vicious 25-yard effort from the home side's coveted Thomas Ince in the 85th minute.
Jakupovic, a Bosnian-born Switzerland international, then made another fine save in the second minute of time added on to keep out Seasiders' substitute Nathan Delfouneso's shot and ensure Hull stretched their unbeaten league run to eight matches.
Hull, who had won six of their previous seven npower Championship matches, remain second in the table, while Blackpool, for all their late pressure, have now won only one of their last six league matches.
Neither side could fashion a chance worthy of note in the first 20 minutes save for Hull's on-loan Sunderland midfielder Meyler, who dragged an angled shot from the left side of the penalty area off target.
The visitors threatened again in the 22nd minute when striker Sone Aluko flashed a 25-yard shot wide and it was not until the 29th minute that Blackpool's coveted winger Ince fired his side's first shot on goal straight at Jakupovic.
The Seasiders enjoyed their best spell from the half-hour mark, with striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Ince both prominent, but failed to test Jakupovic again before the half-time whistle.
Hull manager Steve Bruce replaced Aluko and midfielder Robert Koren for strikers Nick Proschwitz and Jay Simpson at the interval and the latter was straight into the action when his header from Rosenior's cross forced Gilks into a smart save 90 seconds after the restart.
Gilks then held Hull midfielder Robbie Brady's 20-yard free-kick as the visitors went in search of the breakthrough.
Meyler, who has scored three goals in his last four appearances for the Tigers, went closest to the game's opening goal with a superb strike in the 60th minute that prompted a spectacular save from Gilks, whose outstretched arm turned the goalbound shot away for a corner.
Jakupovic flung himself at Ince's 25-yard shot in the closing stages to push the ball away to safety before Delfouneso blazed over the crossbar from inside the area in stoppage time.

The San Diego Chargers reunited two North Platte High school football players on July 31 when they signed former NPHS and University of Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle, pairing him with fellow NPHS graduate Danny Woodhead.
He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round in 2011.
After one season as a backup in the Windy City, Enderle was released but picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars in July 2012, but was released a couple of weeks before the season.
In January, Enderle signed with the Tennessee Titans but was released July 24.
The Chargers signed him a week later.
In San Diego, Enderle will battle against rookie Brad Sorensen of Southern Utah, a seventh-round draft pick, for a spot on the final roster for the regular season.
Philip Rivers, who will enter his 10th season with the team, is the incumbent Charger quarterback. Veteran Charlie Whitehurst is expected to be his backup.
Woodhead signed with the Chargers in March after three solid seasons with the New England Patriots.
The mighty Woodhead will be one of three running backs that San Diego is expected to use heavily this season, along with Ryan Mathews and Ronnie Brown.
Woodheads speed and versatility helped make him a fan favorite in New England, and his attributes should complement the size and power of Mathews and Brown, who weigh in at 220 and 230 pounds, respectively.
Woodhead has also reportedly developed some good chemistry with Rivers since signing with the Chargers.
Woodhead and Enderle graduated from NPHS two years apart. Woodhead was a 2004 graduate and Enderle graduated in 2006.
In Woodheads senior season, Enderle served as the backup quarterback to his older brother, Derek.
The next season, Enderle took the reigns as starting quarterback as a junior. That season was the last in the storied career of head coach Bob Zohner and is also the last time North Platte has qualified for the state playoffs.
Enderles older brother, Derek, graduated with Woodhead. He had quarterbacked the Bulldogs to two straight appearances in the state semifinals in 2002 and 2003.
In college, Nathan Enderle was a four-year starting quarterback for the Idaho Vandals.
As a junior he led the Vandals to an 8-5 season and a thrilling come-from-behind win in the Humanitarian Bowl, 43-42 over Bowling Green.

go over your head
This page is about the idiom go over your head
Meaning: If someone goes over your head, they go to someone with more authority than you in order to get something that you would normally grant, possibly because they think you won't give it to them.
For example:
- He knew I wouldn't give him time off, so he went over my head and asked my boss.
- I wouldn't go over her head if I were you. It'll make her angry, and next time you ask her for something she might say no.

Western Mass
If Western Massachusetts were a person, she'd be that natural beauty that doesn't need any make up that you really want to hate, but can't, because she's so darn nice. Yep, Western Mass is plain gorgeous, from the green hills of the Berkshires to the stunning foliage along the Mohawk Trail, America's first (and best!) scenic automobile route. And it sure is nice, too, with the amazing collection of unique museums; the iconic Tanglewood music venue; epic music and hoops at Springfield's Symphony Hall and the Basketball Hall of Fame, respectively; and some of the world's most picturesque college towns in Northampton and Amherst. There's even a hardcore music scene here. Aw, we could never hate you, Western Mass.
