We've found a tiny dairy shop near the marketplace in our neighbourhood. All the products come from a dairy farm near our home town Silistra. Actually they sell only 3 types of products – milk, yoghurt and white brine cheese /as I said it's a really tiny shop/. But all the products are of a very good quality. But when I saw their brochures and advertising materials I thought they were disastrous. On the instant I thought I want to rewrite them, no I won't charge them, I will eagerly do it for free. When I said this to Ivan he started laughing and said he knew I would say so. It's what I say every time when I see somebody is trying to make a good product but lacks a little bit of inspiration to show it to the world in a written form.For now I feel a bit uneasy to contact the farm's manager and just say "Hi, my name is Silvia and I want to rewrite your ad materials." He would probably ask "Who the he.. are you and what's wrong with my advertising materials?" It's a kind of weird, maybe. So for the present I'm doing nothing on the matter but I would be really happy to be a part of a project like this. Who knows, maybe one day... For now maybe it's better just to work on our blog because it definitely lacks of materials.
As a huge dairy products lovers we've made this milky cake and considering how fast we've eaten it I'm seriously thinking of making it again soon. It's very simple and easy to make – a cocoa genoise cut in two layers with cream cheese filling between them and strained yoghurt cream on top, all flavoured with passion fruit extract. So light, milky and fruity in the same time.
It's been more than two months since we've bought a small bottle of natural passion fruit extract and we haven't got an occasion to try it yet. So this was the perfect time and it happened to be a perfect combination - strained yoghurt and passion fruit extract. The acidity of the yoghurt combines so well with the passion fruit flavour that makes you want more and more.
Milky Cake with a Scent of Passion Fruit Recipe:
For the cocoa genoise:
- 4 eggs;
- 125 gr sugar;
- 95 gr flour;
- 30 gr cocoa powder;
- butter and flour for the baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and set the rack in the middle. Butter and flour a baking sheet and line the baking
pan with it.
Whisk the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water till the mixture reaches 40ºC /if you don't have a candy thermometer, it should be warm to touch but not hot/. Then remove from the heat and continue to whisk until the mixture is completely cooled. Remove the beaters and with the help of a wooden spoon gently fold in the sifted flour and the cocoa powder.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack.
For the cream cheese filling:
- 250 gr cream cheese;
- 200 gr confectioners' sugar;
- 70 gr butter /softened/;
- 1 Tbsp passion fruit extract.
In a medium bowl whisk together the cream cheese and the butter until creamy. Mix in the sifted confectioners' sugar and the passion fruit extract.
For the strained yoghurt cream:
- 200 gr strained yoghurt or 650 gr yoghurt – it's best to be full fat, but as we didn't have full fat yoghurt we used yoghurt with 2% fat content;
- 100 gr confectioners' sugar;
- 1 Tbsp passion fruit extract.
Strained yoghurt is sold here as it is an important ingredient of many traditional bulgarian recipes, but we didn't have any so we made it ourselves.
Place a strainer or colander in a bowl where it doesn't touch the bottom and line it with a piece of cheesecloth. Place the yoghurt into the center of the cloth. Bring the four corners of the cloth together and twist them to squeeze out the liquid which will drain through the cloth. Leave it to drain overnight. From 650 gr 2% fat yoghurt we received nearly 200 gr strained yoghurt.
Mix the yoghurt, confectioners' sugar and fruit extract till creamy.
For the simple syrup:
- 300 ml water;
- 100 gr sugar;
- 30 ml rum.
In a small saucepan over a medium high heat bring all the ingredients to a simmer until the sugar dissolves.
To assemble:
Using a cake string cut the genoise in two equal layers. Place one of the layers on a tray and spread some syrup on it. Pour the cream cheese filling on top and smooth with an offset spatula. Top with the other genoise layer and spread some syrup on top. Top with the strained yoghurt cream and smooth well with the offset spatula. Sprinkle some coconut flakes on top. Refrigerate until set.

In Between the Numbers: Big Pipes and Lean Stores
Thinking about the ICT future of the store with my colleague Bharat Popat. Doodling at the mental whiteboard.
Current state in the lower left. It's client-server architecture. Three to six servers per store, depending upon segment and store size. Fat-client POS and desktops. Fans and hard drives. Ongoing break-fix maintenance contracts. A network pipe just big enough to each night send out batched transactions, inventory, and other performance data, and download the price-item files, promotions, and performance reports.
Now, a line from the lower left current state all the way to the upper right future. From the "as is" to the "will be." Figuring three to five years. An assumption that a retailer will want to lead the segment and compete worldwide.
Grab the pen and draw the line, and as you do so, calculate the evolution of technology and of consumer expectations. Calculate the impact of global e-commerce, of multi-channel and omni-channel, of smart phones and tablets, of social networks and social shopping.
Calculate the impact of content clouds and IP video, of augmented reality and "mashops" of virtual into the physical. Calculate the impact of right time data analysis. Calculate dynamic video messaging.
Calculate how to cut time-to-capability down to weeks, not years. Calculate how to do more and spend less.
Now multiply it all by the demographic weight of the tech-savvy Millennial generation.
Do the math. Yes, I'm prejudiced – I'm a proud Cisco guy. But it's the math (not the badge) that leads me to this future state: a retail store that's a living, breathing website.
A retail store that's built on a lean, network-based architecture and a significant increase in network capacity to and from the store.
Lean store and big pipe.
More about these calculations in weeks ahead.

CLERMONT, Fla. – MIT softball went 1-1 in their games on Monday afternoon at the National Training Center in Florida, falling to Buffalo State College, 10-5 and picking up a win against Grove City College later that day with a score of 8-1. The Engineers are now 3-4 for the season and 1-4 for their Spring Trip.
In the first game, MIT was led by sophomore Sarah Van Belleghem (Los Gatos, Calif.), who went 2 for 4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs earned. Freshman Tori Jensen (Holliston, Mass.) had one hit and one RBI, earning the only homerun of the game. Senior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and sophomore K.K. Wopat (Edwardsville, Ill.) also scored.
Freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.) allowed seven hits and five runs, but struck out nine. Sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) allowed five hits and five runs and struck out three.
In the second game against Grove City, the score remained tied at 0-0 at the top of the fourth when Jensen scored off a sacrifice bunt by Fodor and an error by the third baseman. The Wolverines tied the score at the bottom of the fifth when Sarah Morris scored their first and only run of the game.
The top of the eighth inning was when the Engineers really showed up, scoring seven runs to end the game. Jensen started the inning off by earning her second run off the game and her third of the day. Van Belleghem and Christensen both scored their second run of the day and Fodor, senior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.), sophomore Kelly Wang (La Canada, Calif.) and freshman Alex Burgess (Chelmsford, Mass.) each earned their first, ever-increasing their lead over Grove City. The game ended at the end of that inning with a score of 8-1 in MIT's favor.
Fodor pitched the entire game, allowing only one run and striking out 12. She earned her first win of the season.
The Engineers will return to the pitch tomorrow bright and early when they face Indiana Tech at 9:00 a.m. and St. Thomas (Minn.) at 11:00 a.m.

St. Paul, MN — The city of St. Paul, MN, is taking steps to change its ordinance that prohibits health clubs, such as 24-hour key-card franchises Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness, from operating unsupervised, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Proposed ordinance amendments made their way through the St. Paul City Council, and a public hearing was scheduled for Oct. 1. The city council was expected to vote on the proposed amendments on Oct. 8. If the amendments are passed, the new ordinance would go into effect within 30 days, says Anytime Fitness corporate spokesperson Mark Daly, who adds that five of the seven members of the city council support the changes.
Ironically, one of the council members in favor of the changes is Dave Thune, who had been a staunch supporter of the ordinance. In the past, Thune stressed the intent of the ordinance, which was put in place in 1989 to crack down on prostitution rings. One condition of the proposed amendments is a clause that says a club's license to operate could be revoked if there is a bust for prostitution activity on the premises, the newspaper reports.
The more relevant ordinance amendments state that clubs must be on the ground level of commercial buildings, have surveillance systems and provide at least one automatic electronic defibrillator (AED), according to the Star Tribune. Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness, both based in Minnesota, have surveillance cameras, panic buttons and provide emergency necklaces. Some of the Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness clubs have AEDs, which are not required in health clubs in the state of Minnesota.

At the beginning of the Middle Ages a knight was originally a person of noble birth who was trained in a range of weapons, horsemanship and chivalry. A Knights Armor in the Middle Ages was extremely expensive to produce. It had to be tailor-made to fit the Knight exactly or the Knight ran the risk of an ill-fitting suit of armor hampering him in battle. In the early Middle Ages a horse played an extremely important part in the life of a knight. A knight would own several horses which were built for different duties. The Courser was the most sought after and expensive warhorse, but the more common warhorses were the Destriers. The wealthy noblemen who became mounted knights were worth the equivalent of ten foot soldiers. This changed with the emergence of feudalism. A successful soldier could become wealthy and knighthood conferred regardless of his background.
Feudalism was based on the exchange of land for military service. A portion of land (called a fief) would be granted by the King to a successful soldier or knight who had performed well during battle. This reward would be granted in exchange for his services. The fief, or land, was granted to a soldier or knight following a Commendation Ceremony which was designed to create a lasting bond between a vassal and his lord. The knight would swear allegiance to his lord - the Oath of Fealty. Fealty and homage were key elements of feudalism.
A knight who had been rewarded with land pledged his military services. This was called the Feudal Levy. When wars erupted during the Middle Ages soldiers and knights were raised by the Feudal Levy when there was a 'Call to Arms'. Under the Feudal Levy soldiers and knights were required to fight for a limited period of 40 days - under certain circumstances this could be increased to 90 days. Medieval nobles, lords and knights of the Middle Ages were expected to provide trained soldiers to fight for the King and to provide clothes and weapons for the soldiers. The limited time requirement of the Feudal Levy was designed to ensure that the land would not suffer from neglect.

Reader reaction: On Rene Marie
Here's a small sample of some of the reader feedback I've received via email since The Post published this interview on the front page with Rene Marie, who surprised Mayor John Hickenlooper by singing the black national anthem at the 2008 State of the City address in the Wellington Webb building. I've included some of my responses but not all to avoid too much repetition here.
To hear some of the the voice mails that have been left,
click here.
Rene Marie performs in "Slut Energy Theory" at Crossroads Theatre through Oct. 10.
What a disgrace for the Denver Post to write a glowing article on this woman and put it on the front page!
Another reason your newspaper continues to lose readership. I am disgusted.
My response:
Hi, Joe, thanks for weighing in. Sorry you feel that way. Would hate to lose you as a reader over this.
I just leave you with the suggestion that a newspaper exists to give readers a cross-section of their local world — that means giving voice to some people you agree with, and some people you don't. In a very divided, diverse country like our own, there is no chance that every story in your local daily newspaper is going to sit right with every single reader.
We used to celebrate this: Free speech in the one country where differences are championed as a core founding principle. Instead, judging by some of the mean-spirited voice mails I've received (every one left between midnight and 6 a.m. range, presumably when I wouldn't be here to pick up the phone and talk back), I fear we live in a country where we give lip service to freedom of speech but we privately seethe over the idea that others not like us get to enjoy the same freedoms we do, when we don't agree with them.
I respect your reaction to this piece, though, and thank you for challenging me.
The reaction to her was not "knee-jerk. Your statement that it was knee-jerk is a vicious condemnation of people you fail to give a voice to. An honest reporter, had he put that comment in the article in the first place, would have quoted the people offended by her action.
She did something dishonest. She agreed to do one thing and did something else.
She apparently is part of the artistic community which views the public likes and dislikes as irrelevant and whose wishes may be ignored for their own good. This is arrogance of the highest order.
I am amazed The Denver Post is again devoting ink and space to Renee Marie and, most especially, space on the front page.
First, I'd like to say that the reporter John Moore should be chided for editorializing in a news article. Please, please save it for the editorial page. Are your editors asleep?
Secondly, I remember reading all the articles about Ms. Marie after the July 4th State of the City ceremony. In addition, I corresponded with her briefly a few weeks later asking questions.
Unfortunately I cleaned my email out about a year ago and don't have the correspondence saved; however, my sense of Ms. Marie is that she has an ever-changing story about what led up to and what happened that day. In our correspondence she contradicted herself repeatedly from one moment to the next. I wouldn't take anything she says at face value.
Thirdly, her pity party reminds me of an oft-shown skit by Christopher Guest (Jamie Lee Curtis' husband) and Billy Crystal. They appeared dressed in uniform and were constantly lamenting their plight in life. For example, Crystal, "Oh, you know yesterday I stuck a sharp pencil up my nose and pushed it as hard as I could. Boy, did that hurt!" Guest then responds, "Yeah, I hate when that happens!"
She brought this on herself. To say she'd do it again, "same way", is difficult to understand unless one is a born masochist.
My response:
Hi Sally. Let's have a dialogue here. Sure, I let Rene Marie talk about what her year has been like. But tell me, in what way was I editorializing? I've been over it and over it, and I don't find my voice in that piece at all. Tell me, where do you?
One reader took offense to my use of the phrase "knee-jerk" to describe public reaction. We talked about it, though, and that had more to do with his presumption of the definition of the word. It's "reacting spontaneously in the expected manner." There's no subjective judgment in the definition that those reactions are in any way unwarranted. Only quick, instant, automatic and expected. And certainly when someone embarrasses the mayor, that the reaction was immediate and negative was nothing if not expected.
As a puff piece, you did a terrific job telling Rene Marie's story — as she and others gave it to you. But there is more story there that you may not have been aware of.
There is a rest of the story. On 2/1/09 she was interviewed on KUVO the local Jazz station And, given the opportunity, made comments like, "nothing has changed in the last 50 years for her people," and generally accused the world, for her own and every African American's issues.
Her diatribes hold no water and is so out of date and so out of touch.
I ask you, What is she doing for her people? Personally, I think not too much.
What happened?
You had an opportunity to ask her what the flap she created with the city council it was all about, as part of your interview, no? It takes cajones, but isn't that also journalists job? You know, get the whole story?
Thank you for the article on Rene Marie in the paper this morning. I did remember the incident from over a year ago, but your reporting made it all more clear and understandable to me. I hope you have the opportunity to pass on to Rene Marie the reaction of this middle-aged white guy…that reading of her courage and how she has dealt with the aftermath of the incident is one of the most inspiring and hopeful things I've read in the paper in quite awhile.
Why give this situation more publicity?
My response:
I was brought into this because it's my job to write about artists who are presenting plays around the Denver area. In this case, it would have been disingenuous of me to write about her play without also addressing what her life has been like since the very public scandal. When I did, my news editors thought there was value in checking in with her after she became such a public figure, and they made the choice to put that part of the story on the news pages.
Many people liked that we updated them on what her life has been like since the incident — and many people did not. I'm neutral, but I am proud to work within one of the last bastions of a mostly free media.
Wow! Kudos to you for writing the story. She apparently didn't learn a thing. She was hired to sing the national anthem, not do E.L.O covers, original music or anything else. No class and no brains. As a former professional musician I think it is very unprofessional.
To Rene Marie:
First, I'm sorry you were subjected to death threats. No one deserves that kind of treatment.
John Moore described you as humbly defiant in his article in the Post today. What I see is instead profound arrogance.
1. You claim that there are a huge number of Americans who don't identify with the National Anthem and who refuse to sing it. I'd like to now how it is that you know that and if you're one of those people, why accept the invitation to sing it in the first place?
2. You say that you didn't want the decision about whether or not to let you sing "Lift Ev'ry Voice" to be made by somebody else. When did the State of the City Address become your personal event and venue?
3. Claiming that behind the anger is fear only supports your position and minimizes those who agree with you. It's a spurious argument used by people who have no legitimate position.
4. Finally, you say that artists have an obligation to educate. I couldn't disagree more. I think artists have a bully pulpit and you used yours as such. I want the right to choose who educates me. I want the people I choose to learn from to earn that right. I work with a number of clinical researchers, largely people with both MD and PhDs. Still, that alone isn't enough to earn the right. They need to show they have some humility as well.
Again, I see no humility or courage in your original act or in your comments to John Moore. I see incredible arrogance and lack of self examination. I think you see yourself as John Carlos or Tommie Smith in Mexico City in 1968. I see more Tom Cruise in you than Tommie Smith…
Marie made a choice and it didn't go as planned. Who hasn't done
this? I have always thought that one learns more in these moments
than one ever does when things go as planed and do not turn out as
expected. But what she expected and what happened should not have been so very difficult to foresee. After all, young men and women of every race, creed and history are dying in service to their country against terrorist, that have already struck our nation killing thousands, and he just cannot render the National anthem as most know it.
And now she is coming out with "Slut Energy Theory." Wow, aren't we all impressed! Give us a break! And this is front page news?
I totally disagree with anyone sending her death threats over her mistake. That being said, I understand people's frustration and anger. I am glad she continues to work. And about art teaching, I disagree that teaching in art, which is there, ought to be a conscious thing,
necessarily; even though art does teach.
Michaelangelo expressed it better when he said he was releasing the figure from the block of marble that was in it, rather than intentionally "teaching". But I am no artist and I wish Marie well

Maryville moves on with 13-inning victory.
A back-and-forth battle that lasted well into extra innings ended in defeat for the Missouri S&T baseball team, as Maryville scored twice in the top of the 13th inning – after the Miners had just extended the game an inning earlier – to take a 6-4 win and eliminate S&T from the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.
Missouri S&T finished the 2013 season with a record of 24-25 and was third in the GLVC West Division with a 22-14 record.
The 13-inning contest, which matched the longest game in Miner history and longest in the history of the GLVC Tournament, was finally decided when Corey Gall singled in a run in the top of the inning and a second run scored as the result of a throwing error on the play.
Maryville took the lead in the opening inning when Eric Keling singled home Kaleb DePew moments after S&T had thrown a runner out at the plate. That lead held up until the fifth, when the Miners got a leadoff bunt single by Clint Wobbe, a sacrifice bunt and an RBI single from Kyle Rich to tie the score.
In the sixth, Will Morrison drew a leadoff walk and following a sacrifice, Sam Adams was hit by a pitch. The Saints pulled starting pitcher Matt Staback for Brandon Sarkission following the hit batter, but Colin Coan delivered a two-out, two-run single to give the Miners a 3-1 lead.
Chris Bowe carried that lead through the seventh inning, ending that inning by getting Bob Miller to hit into an inning-ending double play. But in the eighth,Jacob Hinton hit the first batter he faced and gave up a hit, prompting a pitching change that brought Reed Brown in from third base to pitch.
The Saints got a hit from DePew to cut the lead to one, then Keling hit a sacrifice fly later in the inning to tie it at three.
S&T had good scoring opportunities in the eighth and ninth squelched by bad luck. With a runner at second and one out in the eighth, the Miners had Tyler Bodenstab stealing third, but Coan hit a ball right at the third baseman just as Bodenstab was arriving, resulting in a double play.
In the ninth, S&T again had a runner at second with one out, but Brown lined into an inning-ending double play.
Maryville also escaped a major jam in the 11th, as Bodenstab reached on an error to open the inning and reached third on a sacrifice and a wild pitch. Following a pair of intentional walks to load the bases, Sarkission pitched out of it by getting a strikeout and a line out to end the inning.
The Saints regained the lead in the 12th when Kyle Kinyon singled to open the inning, then a passed ball and two wild pitches brought home the go-ahead run. But the Miners answered back, as Lockett singled to open the bottom of the inning scored on a two-out, two-strike hit by Bodenstab.
However, DePew singled off John Auble to begin the 13th, went to second on a hit by Keling and scored when Gall singled into center; a wild throw to third on the play allowed a second run to score on the play.
The Miners got three hits from Morrison and two apiece by Wobbe and Coan as they finished with 11.

cloudscott necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
We are a stealth-mode startup building software tools to help application developers build and manage systems that use cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, Sales(Force.com), Rackspace, and a growing list of other services. The name cloudtric comes from the fact that people often compare cloud computing to the electric grid. "turn it on, turn it off" - 100 years ago you needed a generator at your house to have electric, now you just plug in. Same is happening with cloud computing, no more servers in your company, just plug in to "the cloud".
Every startup stays this, but we are building something different, something cool, and we want our logo and branding to convey that, without being too "out there" that we stand out in a negative way when trying to sell to corporations (our primary market).
Corporate and startup application developers, architects and system administrators building for the cloud. Typically smart, geeky people that like sharp, clean designs without a lot of fluff.
Create me a logo that is more than just stylized text and less than hairy 3d rendering of an electric grid. Something simple. Something sharp. Something that looks great digitally but also prints well on cards, banners, tshirts, stickers, etc. Colors should not be too loud but don't have to be black and white either. We're selling to corporate clients but we're a young company in a hot emerging market, not IBM.
Would like to incorporate the concept of the electric grid in the logo somehow to tie-in with the name itself (cloudtric is a combination of cloud and electric). Some examples (not the only ones, certainly) are an electric outlet, power switch, etc.
Look at what some other players in the cloud space have done with their logos to get an idea of the limits of where we can take the design. Notice they are all sharp, clean logos that would be very appropriate when selling to a corporate client.
or really any of the sponsors on this list: http://cloudcomputingexpo.com/gener…rs0410.htm
Note: As for upper case, lower case, etc- I'm not sold one way or another. I'll let the designer help guide my decision on whether it should be cloudtric, CLOUDTRIC, CloudTric, Cloudtric, ClOuDtRiC or something else entirely :)

Spring fever affects people in different ways. We gardeners get itchy fingers and feel the urge to get our hands in the dirt.
You also may find that your house needs a spring cleaning, and when you tend to that task, don't forget about your houseplants. They may need to be cleaned, too, as well as require other care.
Dust is an enemy of plants. It spoils the appearance of plants and blocks leaf pores so the plant can no longer breathe properly. Dust blocks the good effects of sunlight, too, so it is necessary to remove it when it becomes obvious on the foliage.
Small plants can be spritzed with clean water; larger ones can be wiped with a damp, soft cloth or sponge. If the plant has gotten very dirty, dust it first, so you don't end up making mud pies. Remember to support large leaves with your hand while washing them.
Cacti, succulents and plants with hairy leaves, such as African violets, should not be sprayed, but instead brushed with a soft brush — an artist's brush or small paintbrush works well.
Some plant foliage, even when clean, can begin to look dull as it ages. Leaves can be made shinier by using a plant polish. Homemade concoctions containing vinegar, milk or beer can be used, but will not produce a shine, and olive oil is an absolute dust magnet. It is best to purchase a product intended for this use — wipe-on and aerosol versions are available — and use only on older leaves.
Spring is a good time to re-pot houseplants. Most houseplants rest a bit during the winter, and the appearance of new growth is a sign of spring. As a general rule, houseplants will benefit from re-potting every couple of years.
There are many variables, so do some research on your particular plant to discover how it signals that it needs a new home. Bromelaids, for example, should never need re-potting, while African violets may produce so many young that the pot becomes overcrowded and inhibits bloom. Other plants will bloom only when they're pot-bound. So if you are re-potting, do not automatically assume it needs a bigger pot. It may just need fresh soil.
While you are doing your research, check to see whether your houseplant is one that will enjoy spending the summer outdoors. Most will not want full sun but will thrive in dappled shade of an arbor or under a tree or shrub. My Christmas cacti enjoy life under the grape arbor until frost threatens. When you bring the plants in, remember to check carefully for insect hitchhikers.
My favorite houseplant reference book is "The Houseplant Expert," by Dr. D.G. Hessayon, which will guide you in raising a great variety of houseplants.
Coming up: Master Gardeners Monica and Steve Farnsworth will teach a class about raising more vegetables using the French Intensive Gardening method. The class will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, at the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center, 569 Hanley Road, Central Point. Cost is $5. Call 541-776-7371 to register.

LEXINGTON, KY (Oct. 2, 2013) – Morton Fink's reigning Horse of the Year, Wise Dan, will face nine rivals Saturday as he goes for a repeat victory in the $750,000 Shadwell Turf Mile (G1).
In addition to the Shadwell Turf Mile, two other Grade 1 races are scheduled Saturday: the $400,000 First Lady for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf and the 100th running of the $400,000 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity for 2-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on the main track.
The First Lady is the afternoon's seventh race with a 4:17 p.m. post time and is followed by the Dixiana Breeders' Futurity with a 4:49 p.m. post time.
A winner of nine consecutive races and a five-time graded stakes winner at Keeneland, Wise Dan has compiled a record of 18 wins in 25 starts and earnings of more than $5 million. Trained by Charlie LoPresti, Wise Dan has won 10 of 11 races on the grass.

Jerry Frankel, Ronald Frankel, Steve Laymon and Bradley Thoroughbreds' Dayatthespa is undefeated on Keeneland's turf course with victories in last fall's Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) and in the 2012 Appalachian (G3). Trained by Chad Brown, Dayatthespa will break from post position six and be ridden by John Velazquez.
James Miller's Daisy Devine won the 2012 renewal of the Jenny Wiley (G1) and was second in last year's First Lady. Trained by Andrew McKeever, Daisy Devine also won the Pin Oak Valley View (G3) here in 2011. James Graham has the call on Daisy Devine, who will break from post position four.
The other Grade 1 winner in the field is Godolphin Racing's Better Lucky, winner of last fall's Matriarch. Trained by Tom Albertrani, Better Lucky has raced twice on the Keeneland turf, finishing third in last fall's Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup and this spring in the Jenny Wiley.

I don't just theme the app icon and add that apk into the list as a themed apk... Not that there's anything wrong with that.. Like the title says, this is for SSx 2.0 ... ... I blind themed this and got it right on the first shot, even with all the xml edits.. I've never themed the DX before but it went smooth so I'll port the rest soon.. This theme is an update.zip, not a theme chooser apk so it installs via recovery.. This is the remixed version that has all new button sets, phone dialer, dark pop up menus (no black on black), and more xml edits. I assume you can make a nandroid back up on the DX also so have one made or make one prior to modding your phone.. and I take no responsibility for you or your phone so flash this at your own risk (disclaimer)... I included my Kameleon apps as a seperate install but they applied perfectly for my tester and only need to be applied once since they self theme according to the Primary system text colors (Settings menu text colors) so if you flash these on a theme or ROM that has a white background with black text, you're gonna have some black on black issues so take precaution before installing these.. On my themes, they will theme themselves to match the color of the theme though... and on a white text rom/theme they're inverted but still look cool...They have new update.scripts so they work on the DX now.. I'm not sure if they work on other DX roms, tho.... I work my butt off making themes and helping themers out so I hope you enjoy my work and I'm lookin forward to porting the other 8 themes over to the DX.. Make sure you change the colors for lockscreen, deskclock and statusbar stuff in Chevy's settings... Enjoy!

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Escape from Planet Earth is an animated alien adventure that features more violence, consumerism, and even references to romance than other similar films aimed at kids. There are some deaths in the movie: A father is killed when a spaceship lands on him, a man plummets to his doom from the air, and a freed alien is eaten by a much larger, scary-looking alien. A general is sadistic and likes to torture/exploit aliens. Unlike many other animated movies, this one doesn't shy away from sexuality, either: Alien couples kiss several times, a female admires her boyfriend's body, several characters comment on a "nerdy" character's beautiful wife, and online dating is even referenced. Lastly, families sensitive to consumerism should know that there are parts of the movie that seem practically like a commercial for 7-Eleven.

- Positive messages
- Positive role models

This came up on another thread and I thought I'd put it out there:
From the FAA clarification:
"With regard to cancelled flights, if a flight is cancelled before takeoff, then it does not count as a segment for Table B purposes. This is because a flight segment consists of a takeoff and a landing, and the lack of a takeoff/ landing means that there is no flight segment. However, the taxi out time for the cancelled flight segment would still constitute FDP time because the taxi out would have taken place after the flightcrew member reported for duty with the intention of conducting a flight. 30 If the aircraft moved under its own power for the taxi out, then the taxi out would also count as flight time because the aircraft would have moved under its own power for purposes of flight. "
ALPA'S FTDT guide dated May 2013 says that it IS counted as flight time, since the airplane taxied under its own power with the intention of flight, but the next revision from November says it is not because there was no landing.

The Characters:
Captain Ashland - It is he, GEORGE KENNEDY. This man can not have a soul.
Trevor Marshall - Richard Crenna! (The Colonel from the Rambo movies!) Second in command of the cruise liner and our hero.
Mrs. Marshall - Trevor's wife, that's her contribution to the plot.
Robin and Ben - The Marshall kids, Ben must have a bladder infection since he's always looking for the restrooms.
Nick and Lori - Two young lovers, she gets tossed overboard by Ashland and he is drowned in a cargo net by the same.
Jackie - Lounge comic who is hoisted overboard by the evil ship.
Mrs. Morgan - Old woman who is out to jump Ashland's bones, eats poisoned candy.
Death Ship - A haunted Nazi interrogation vessel.
The Plot:
I spent about thirty minutes washing my mouth out after watching this crap. It made me feel cheap and used, and that's not easy to do to a guy. Not only does it have George Kennedy, he 's dressed up like a Nazi ship captain no less. It's poetic I'll admit, didn't know they made uniforms that big. I think there was a typo in the script, what was intended to be "Death Shit" became "Death Ship" and therein lies the tragedy. Ashland is the captain of a cruise ship everyone else is on (Marshall being the XO) when it is rammed by the cursed vessel. The survivors climb aboard the brooding freighter and soon begin encountering mishaps. Ashland also seems to be half possessed by the Nazi captain's spirit, the other half is just Kennedy's bad acting. After everyone else is dead the Marshalls flee overboard with a rubber raft, leaving Ashland to face the terrors awaiting his soul. There is exactly one cool part to this film - and it's when we keep seeing shots of the Death Ship, which is in bright sunlight, on a supposed collision course with the cruise liner, which we can only see it's lights BECAUSE IT'S PITCH DARK. Make sure you have lots of alcohol on hand before popping this tape in the VCR my friends.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Cruise ships cannot afford decent bands.
Making out with some guy wearing a rubber mask drives women wild.
Cruise ships don't carry lifeboats, they do carry bright red boxes equipped with oars.
Do not pee on the deck of a ghost ship.
The open ocean is very calm and has muddy water.
Things are much more threatening when filmed upside down.
Kids will quite happily drink brown water.
Nazi's could not cook worth a damn.
George Kennedy can run pretty fast for a fat old guy.
Stuff To Watch For:
1 min - George Kennedy? For THE LOVE OF GOD NO!
8 mins - I think these ships are about to collide on the international dateline. It's day for one and night for the other.
13 mins - This is stock footage from "The Poseidon Adventure" or something.
15 mins - How the heck did this eclectic group survive? They were on different parts of the ship!
26 mins - Somebody go and turn off the winch then swing him over the deck, jeez.
57 mins - I'd be a serious "we're all sleeping in the same room" dude.
62 mins - Hey, naked Lori! But she's covered in blood from the shower and can't get out! Why is she spinning around?
68 mins - Slow motion scene! Why? Arrgghhhhh!
73 mins - How the heck did Nick get outside? Bad editing! Bad!
89 mins - Damn you George Kennedy, and damn me too...

The "International Dateline" explanation might be a little silly, but it is the best I can do. Do you mean that I should honestly believe the director did not care enough about this movie to at least film two ships in the daytime?

Hehehehe! No, that was Nick being projected on. He drowns in the cargo hold about two minutes later.

This was a pretty awful movie, but it was also bloody hilarious.

Yes, this movie has some funny (and glaring) bloopers in it, but hey, it's a horror movie, that's part of the fun. Overall, though, I thought the scenes on the haunted ship to be creepy and atmospheric. If only they'd wrapped that cool atmosphere around a script that made sense! It's a shame this one isn't more liked, because the whole "ghost ship" genre has been greatly underused by horror/suspense film makers.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand the atmosphere could be good, on the other hand, the movie blows ass. The only part I liked was Mancuso getting drowned in the cargo hold. Otherwise, ugh. George Kennedy stole my soul.

This movie isn't all that bad. I also don't know why you hate George Kennedy so much. I always found him to be so bad he's good.

There was definitely something going on in this movie, but for the most part it was actually pretty boring. I found the atmosphere generated by the haunted ship to be pretty creepy, and the Nazi undertones added to that effect. On a somewhat similar note, the newer film "Virus" was far too much like this film to be of any value. If you see this, skip "Virus."

This movie IS stupid, however, I do think the haunted atmosphere and the Nazi overtones are creepy as hell. This movie creeped me out a little when I first saw it about 12 years ago, the repetitive shots of the hydrolics stayed with me I think. But the characters are all idiots, save for the head guy who actually gives a believable performance as a man who is trying to save his family. The swarmy comedian deserved a worse death, and, if I was to ever board a haunted Nazi ship that is obviously trying to kill me and others, I like to think that I would avoid DRINKING IT'S WATER AND EATING IT'S 40 YEAR OLD FOOD!!!
also: have fun counting the number of times the phrase "We have to get off this ship!" is said

Really Bad Idea: Senator Klobuchar Wants To Mandate A 'Kill Switch' In All Mobile Phones
from the could-she-please-hire-a-technologist? dept
Her latest move is to propose a bill that would mandate a kill switch in all mobile phones that could be activated remotely. The idea, here, is that this would allow those who had their phones stolen to disable them, rendering them (sorta) useless. It seems that, as with the other bills discussed above, Senator Klobuchar introduces these with the best of intentions, but with no clue about how technology works, or the likely "unintended" consequences of such things.
First, putting such a kill switch into all phones almost guarantees that it will be misused and abused in some form -- whether by government officials looking to cut off communications (as has been done at the tower level) or by malicious hackers looking to kill a ton of phones. The kill switch is just too tempting a target. Second, the actual benefit of this is likely to be limited. Phones will still get stolen and people will figure out how to hack their way around the kill switch within hours of it existing. Third, there's simply no reason for a law here. There are numerous software products that allow individuals to effectively do this on their own if they so desire. Mandating it, and adding fines to mobile operators who don't offer such a thing seems totally unnecessary.
So, even if we assume the best, and believe that, with all of these laws, Senator Klobuchar has the best of intentions, could she please hire someone who understands basic technology before writing any more bad laws that will cause harm?

NEW YORK — When Town Sports International (TSI) announced in July that it was looking for buyers for the company, many in the industry weren't surprised considering a sale had been rumored for months. However, a few days later, the company announced that it had filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering, too.
The dual-track process is unusual, but not unheard of, according to Rick Caro, president of Management Vision, a fitness business consulting company.
"Sometimes doing both leads to maximizing whatever result works out," Caro said. Buyer interest could help the company set a higher price on its IPO or IPO interest could help the company get a higher price from bidders for the company.
Private equity firm Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co. LLC, which owns TSI, attempted to sell the company in 2002 for $600 million. Earlier this year, McCown De Leeuw & Co. received $1.6 billion for 24 Hour Fitness, the second largest fitness club company in the United States in terms of number of corporate-owned, traditional clubs. Unsuccessful bidders for 24 Hour Fitness are rumored to now be interested in TSI, which is the third-largest club company as measured by number of clubs.
However, TSI has competitors for these buyers. Other clubs rumored to be on the block include Sport & Health, Spectrum Clubs and Wellbridge — not to mention Crunch, which Bally Total Fitness is looking to sell.
As part of most IPOs, the company in question holds a series of meetings to present its figures to mutual fund companies, hedge fund companies and other interested parties. If the companies are interested, they pledge a certain number of shares, which helps set a price for the IPO, said Caro.
If the company goes public, it would trade on Nasdaq under the symbol CLUB. The company stated that the IPO was planned to raise $172.5 million, which would go to redeem some of its senior notes as well as related premiums and interest.
The company's filing with the SEC noted that its aggregate principal amount of redeemable debt was $138.7 million as of March 31.
In the IPO filing, the company stated that its goal was to become the most recognized health club network in the four major metropolitan regions that it serves.
TSI, which has 398,000 members, owns 138 fitness clubs in the Northeast, mostly in and around New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The company operates under the Sports Club brand names: New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Philadelphia Sports Club and Washington Sports Clubs. The company also has three locations in Switzerland.
The company stated that it intended to grow its revenue by expanding its number of clubs within regional clusters, growing ancillary and other non-membership revenues, and executing new business initiatives among other strategies.
The IPO filing did not state how many shares the company planned to offer or the price range of the IPO. The IPO is being underwritten by Deutsche Bank Securities and Goldman Sachs & Co.
TSI had $353 million in revenue in 2004. Operating income for 2004 was $34.3 million, net loss was $3.9 million and EBITDA was $72.7 million. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2005, the company's revenues, operating income, net loss and EBITDA were $360.7 million, $39.3 million, $1.7 million and $78.4 million, respectively.
TSI and Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill are in a quiet period after the SEC filing and, therefore, could not comment on this story.

Thanks to the hard work and vision of Steve Jobs, Apple has managed to evolve from a mere cult to a mainstream phenomenon. Fanboys, celebrities, politicians and geeks who adore their products have exalted the billion-dollar company to a technological pseudoreligion. A silent witness to Apple's magnificent ascent from failure to stardom has been Microsoft.
Though Microsoft has been the traditional bad guy of the Silicon Valley, Apple has stealthily usurped that spot by its recent actions, most of which are a bit on the dark side. As a FOSS enthusiast I believe that Microsoft is overly competitive but so is Apple.
If you think that Apple is much less evil than Microsoft, read on as we give you 7 reasons that will make Redmond look slightly better than Cupertino.
1. Thou shalt not install any external apps
Apple has been busy building a walled garden with big white shiny walls. The Cupertino-based company makes sure that you buy or download apps only from their store and not from anywhere else. Yeah, we know there's an app for everything, but you can't get it if it's not sold by Apple.
2. Thou shalt not jailbreak
Jailbreaking is magic pill that helps you evade the claustrophobic App Store and lets you do everything you wanted to do with your phone. Despite the fact that jailbreaking is legal in many countries, Apple insists that doing so will only void your warranty. It's as if you can buy any device from Apple but you've to use it the way they tell you. So, play by Apple's rules or else...
3. Thou shalt not talk about Apple
Let's say you are a popular celebrity, and you point out some of iPhone's faults on national television, just to poke fun at Apple. Guess what, they don't like it; they'll call you up and ask you to apologize. The same thing happened with Ellen DeGeneres when she did a parody of an Apple ad on her show. Later, she got a phone from Apple accusing her of making the iPhone look hard to use. I hope they've heard of the term 'sense of humor'.
On another incident, Apple reproached someone for talking about one of the much-publicized features of the iPhone 4S. The guy who recorded the male voice of Siri got a phone call from Apple telling him not to talk about the recordings. I guess working for Apple must be like working for a secret government project where you have to be tight-lipped about everything that goes on in the facility.
4. Thou shalt not have the name Apple in your product
If you're a small-business owner and happen to have an apple – yep, it's also a fruit -- in your company's logo, Cupertino's coming at you. Recently, Apple threatened Apfelkind ( "apple child" in German), a family-run cafe in Bonn that has an Apple in its logo. The logo, which is quite different from Apple's own logo, has a child's face inside an apple. According to Apple, Apfelkind infringes on Apple Inc.'s trademark.
5. Thou shalt not find out flaws in our system
In the FOSS world, a developer who finds a security bug or a critical flaw is revered as a hero. In fact, Google even gave out prizes to users who found out critical flaws in their browser. In Apple's case however, finding a bug in the system means that you'll be disqualified as a developer.
6. We reserve the right to reject your app for any reason whatsoever
Apple seems to reject apps from their app store for the smallest of reasons. A Print to PDF app was removed from the store because it used AirPrint as a way to print documents to PDF. Moreover, Kindle, Sony and Kobo reader apps were removed too as they used an in-app payment system. While this doesn't affect big companies like Amazon, it does, however, make a hugely negative impact on the lives of thousands of independent developers who make a livelihood out of making these apps. This is also one of the reasons developers flocked to Android instead of iOS. Recently, fearing lawsuits, many app developers have started pulling their apps from Apple store as Google welcomes them with open arms.
7. We fire our employees for the smallest of reasons
A test engineer at Apple couldn't believe his bad luck when he was fired by the company for prematurely demoing a prototype of the iPad to Steve Wozniak. Wozniak, who happens to be one of Apple's founders, expressed his disappointment at Apple's behavior. The test engineer, however, still remains unemployed. On the other hand Gary Powell, who lost an iPhone prototype is still a proud Apple employee. Need I say more?

Hope this helps someone out there, Cacko 1.23 Rootfs.
Rootfs with the sharp kernel and modules from Katatrophos, and the /boot/kernel.cmdline for the zUbuntu multiboot.
With all this posted, I still have yet to get it too post from nand ... still hashing.

This is what i did to get Cacko in nand, and zUbuntu on sd.
1. Trisoft restore.
2. install cacko. DO NOT RESIZE ROOT PARTITION <53MB
3. flash multiboot kernel
4. in /boot/ on sd have cacko kernel of your choice (I like katastrophos)
5. boot into cacko, remount root partition as rw.
make boot folder on root. copy kernel over and reboot. (take out sd)
6. boot cacko from nand, enjoy.

Could you give a little more detail of
5. boot into cacko, remount root partition as rw.
make boot folder on root. copy kernel over and reboot. (take out sd)
please? I'm not sure what 'rw' is or where one copies the kernel from.

5. boot into cacko. you should have the cacko kernel and kernel commandline in /boot on your sd card.
the multi-boot kernel will see cacko as being on sd (cuz that is where the kernel is)
when you are booted into cacko enter: sudo mount -n -o remount,rw into terminal. this will remount rootfs as read/write
Create /boot folder on nand: mkdir /boot
copy kernel (zImage) from /boot on SD: cp /mnt/card/boot/* /boot/
now reboot cacko with the sd card out. the multiboot kernel should show that cacko is on nand (chip icon).
6. extract zUbuntu rootfs to your sd card, replacing cacko kernel in SD card's /boot/
now when you boot your zaurus with the sd in, you should see two options Nand - Cacko and SD - Zubuntu

I'm confused.
I've spent much of the day trying to follow the instruction to get Cacko and Zubuntu working on my sl-c1000 (Akita) but I've come up against a few things I don't fully understand and some that just baffle me.
- I did a Trisoft NAND restore, that was easy.
- I resized my root partition to 53Mb and installed Cacko ROM 1.23 from Katastrophos
- I tried flashing the multiboot kernel but came a bit unstuck.
What I did was: on a FAT16 formated SD card I put the 'updater.sh' and 'zImage.bin' files as described on Omegamoon blog. I really wasn't too sure about the 'zImage.bin' file though, I ended up using the 'zImage' file from the /boot folder from the zubuntu version 2.0 root-addition archive and appending '.bin' to the file. I then followed the multiboot kernel flashing procedure.
- Perhaps it is late but when I looked at Step 4 I realised I had no idea what to do. Where do I find the Katastrophos kernel? What is the Katastrophos kernel? I fear my brain is overheating! I looked at the two Cacko root filesystems mentioned in Scottfa's first post but they look to me like identical filesystems. What are they for? How are they relevant to this process? Should I be searching for Katastrophos' kernel there?
This is all good fun, learning about all this stuff and getting more familiar with my Zaurus and linux filesystems and multiboot flashing and whatnot but I think I should sleep on it for now. With any luck someone will have read this post and given me a few pointers or hints by tomorrow.
EDIT: Slept on it, thought about it, slept on it again and then reread this thread and Omegamoon's instructions.
Why would I use the zImage file from the /boot folder??? I must have been more tired than I had realized! Later today I'll try flashing the multiboot kernel using the updater.sh and zImage.bin (sl-c1000) files provided in the "Flashing The Multiboot Kernel" section of Omegamoon's blog.
I suppose the two filesystems in Scottfa's post are there to be used if you want to run a Cacko or Sharp ROM off of an SD/CF card partition...right?

the reason for extraction is to run off of sd/cf but i don't think that works. My method is to allow cacko/sharp/pdaxrom to be run off of nand, and other os's to be run off of sd/cf.
and yes, flash the multiboot. the kernel for zUbuntu 2.0 is too large to fit in nand.

How about giving the directions with actual terminal commands instead? I think it would be helpful for many.

Talk about some on-screen minimalism.
In a bid to "explore the limits of filmmaking," IBM has created a movie that takes a character and reduces him to his essence—literally.
"A Boy and His Atom," a new stop-motion short from engineers at the technology firm, shows what seem to be a series of white dots that form the image of a boy bouncing a ball, jumping on a trampoline and otherwise wiling the day away. Except these aren't dots at all: they're atoms, and IBM has manipulated these particles such that they give the impression of action and (slight) emotion. The movie will recall the children's game Lite-Brite—or a really, really primitive version of claymation.
PHOTOS: Summer Sneaks 2013
IBM has subtitled its ditty "the world's smallest movie." How small? Unmagnified, the scene measures just 45 nanometers by 25 nanometers. The images need to be blown up by a factor of 100 million just to be visible.
As you'll see from the 94-second film, there is no great momentum or payoff to "Atom." But there is a definite arc to it; in its way, it's storytelling just like anything else at the multiplex.
The scientists who designed the film may be making a point about how cinema can strip down the world to its basics, or perhaps simply having fun with atomic particles. But they also may have a slyer message in mind. We're entering a season when the film world looks to up the interest level by going bigger, richer, louder, It turns out smaller works too.

DETROIT - Wayne State University said Friday it will no longer offer an award named in honor of one of its most famous alumni, former White House press corps member Helen Thomas.
The Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in the Media award has been retired because of controversial remarks Thomas, an Arab-American, made at a conference Thursday in Dearborn and earlier this year, school officials said.
Thomas said at a diversity conference that "Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by Zionists. No question, in my opinion."
Her remarks have cast a shadow over the award, which was set up more than a decade ago to honor diversity and excellence in journalism, officials said.
"The controversy has brought a negative light to the award, which was never the intent of the award," said Matthew Seeger, interim dean of the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts at Wayne State.
Thomas, 90, resigned as a columnist for Hearst Newspapers in June after telling an interviewer that Jews should "get the hell out" of the Palestinian territories and go to Germany, Poland or the United States. She didn't back away from those remarks on Thursday but instead expounded on what she called the influence of Zionists worldwide.
Thomas could not be reached Friday.
Thomas' sister, Barbara Isaac, said they had expected WSU might eventually make such a decision, especially with this week's controversy.
"It boils down to more punishment for being honest and forthright," said Isaac. "She wanted to tell the truth. She's trying to get justice for the Palestinian people."
Wayne State is "showing its fear" of losing donors, Isaac said, adding that her sister was not referring to Jewish people when she used the word "Zionists" but to people who are "pro-Israel."
"All Jewish people are not Zionists," Isaac said.
But Jewish leaders applauded WSU's decision: "(We) applaud their courage in rescinding the award and distancing themselves from this blatantly anti-Semitic rhetoric that has no place in an academic institution," said Betsy Kellman, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League.
