Due to a series of mis-communications (as in the Geolog driver filled my car's petrol tank up and then left the key in a locked building while everyone went for lunch) I was stranded at the office today.
Weighing up my options I opted to jump on an angkot. "A what?" you say. In Indonesian angkot means 'lift' and these scrappy little Toyota minibuses run up and down the main roads providing a shuttle bus service for anyone brave enough to get on. There are no stops or fares; you simply flag one down, jump on and stick some battered rupiah notes in the driver's hand when you disembark.
So there I was, standing at the kerbside looking like an albino lemon for 2 or 3 minutes, all-the-while observing to myself that whenever I'm driving on the same road, or walking to the shops, there are a hundred angkots buzzing around like flies. So I hit upon a remedy that always works in Britain - light up a cigarette. Within two drags one pulled up next to me and off I went.
We zipped along the main strip, working up and down the gears, into town with the breeze doing the job of an air conditioner and 15 minutes later I was at the central junction and ready to get off. Not knowing how to stop the roller coaster I tapped the guy in front on the shoulder and he obligingly shouted "stop" to the driver. Yes, 'stop' in Indonesian is stop. Go figure.
I jumped out, deposited 3000 rupiah in the driver's hand (the price for a local is 2000 but expats get a premium service!), crossed the street and grabbed my second angkot which was heading up the road we live off. Unlike the first leg of my journey this driver only used second gear so the lack of refreshing breeze meant the interior was stifling. Add to that the heavier traffic in town that builds up next to the bridge works, the effect of getting stuck next to an open air garbage truck in 35C heat was not nice. (I know, I was a bin man for 6 years but never was I subjected to that kind of stench.)
By the time I was ready to get off I was experienced enough to be the one to shout "stop" and the driver obligingly pulled over opposite the turning to BDI. When I presented my fare (a 2000 rupiah note) it was not enough so I pulled out a 100,000 bill. The driver's mate/ticket conductor was happy to accept my original offering of 2000 rupiah but the driver was not. After much pocket shuffling he produced my change, stuffed it in my hand, said "OK?" and made to pull off. I kept my hand on the side of the bus while I counted it but by the time I realised he'd short changed me (by 5000 rupiah or 35 pence/55 cents) I couldn't keep up with him. It must have been a funny sight.
For the trip home I was able to cadge a lift with Rae and Oscar in a taxi for part of the way. The leg out to the office was trouble free and I even got to sit right up front with the driver. I think he was rather proud to have a bula (Indonesian for pale-skinned foreigner, which actually means 'blonde') in his angkot. It must have been unusual to have an expat on board because one passenger who got on remarked to the driver (in Indonesian) that she'd never seen a bula on an angkot before. She was even more surprised when she discovered I understood her.

Hisar village elects all-women panchayat unanimously
For 29-year-old Sarita Goswami, who was elected the sarpanch of Bhiwani Rohilan village along with 12 women panchayat members unanimously on Tuesday, girl education is on the top of her agenda.punjab Updated: Dec 31, 2015 08:43 IST
For 29-year-old Sarita Goswami, who was elected the sarpanch of Bhiwani Rohilan village along with 12 women panchayat members unanimously on Tuesday, girl education is on the top of agenda.
Sarita, a matriculate and mother of two, is not alone in this mission since she has the backing of 12 women panches, with the villagers choosing to elect her without taking the ballot route after a three-hour-long meeting at the village chaupal.
Even as the village, 20 km from the district headquarters, had earlier agreed to elect only women as panchayat members and that too unanimously, there were some apprehensions too.
"Some people were sceptical about the idea saying that there might be those who may choose to file nomination as we cannot force anybody to opt out. But it all went smooth as the entire village showed an exemplary unity while electing the panchayat members," said Surender Goswami, a relative of Sarita.
The village would now get a grant of Rs 11 lakh for electing all panchayat members unanimously.
The elected panches are Raj Bala, Aarti Devi, Seema, Suman, Sushma, Rukma, Sunita, Sushila Devi, Sudesh Rani, Suwita Goswami, Santosh Devi and Seema Devi.
"I am very happy. After I came to know that I was elected the village sarpanch, the very first thought that came to my mind was to provide proper education to every girl of the village. Education is a much-needed tool for women empowerment," Sarita said while talking to Hindustan Times.
"If a girl is educated, she goes on to educate two families. It is really painful to see the village elderly covering long distances to get the old-age pension. I will try my best to bring a bank branch in our village," she said.
Her husband Chandiram, a farmer by profession, said, "She is hard working and I am sure she will work for the betterment of the village."
The couple has two sons — Sumit (6) and Puneet (3).
"The village population is about 6,000 and it has 883 females against 1,000 males. I will also try to improve the sex ratio of the village and making it neat and clean. Good roads are also my priority," Goswami added.
"Since the sarpanch's seat was reserved for women, we made up out mind to elect an educated woman. We gave consent to Sarita's name as she is a matriculate and is hard working. Then we started electing members from the 12 wards. A few months ago, some village youths appealed to everyone to elect women sarpanch and panchs and we accepted their proposal," former sarpanch Beliram Singh said.
Hisar deputy commissioner Chandershakher Khare said, "I have come to know about this. We need to scrutinise nomination papers to see if someone else filed nomination from the village."
Block development officer (BDO) Ramesh Mithrani said this is the first-of-its-kind case in the district and a similar case was reported in Mewat district.

Help Out Ralph Steadman!
Just came across this on Ralph's website and as there are many UK Gonzo fans out there I thought I'd pass this on as it looks like Ralph has had no luck tracking down his letter.
From Ralph:
Last night I did a Q&A session at the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn after a showing of GONZO. The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson. I read a FAX letter that Hunter had sent to me dated December 25th, 1988. It was hand -written and started: Merry Christmas! HO! HO! HO!
and then the letter. It was six(6) pages long and it was my only copy.
Somebody accidentally picked it up and nobody can find it at the theatre. I would very much appreciate its return and have a Merry Christmas. HO! HO! HO!! Please contact email@example.com
Many thanks….
Ralph STEADman
Someone out there might know where this is so any information welcome. Feel free to email the above address or if you want email us here at email@example.com and we can pass on the message to Ralph.

I reckon some fan has had that away. They probably didn't realise it was the original and pinched it for their collection. Happens all the time – setlists, dressing room signs, you name it – enthusiasts will grab it.

Oh my god!
This is aweful, wow…
I do really hope he gets that back.

As I type this, it's the evening of St. Patrick's Day and I'm on the third of my traditional holiday movies. I watch Miller's Crossing, The Boondock Saints, and Darby O'Gill and the Little People every St. Patrick's Day. That's just how I roll. It's how I celebrate my culture.
Wait? I have a culture?
No, seriously. Let's do the quick low-down on The Things That Make Up Tegan: I'm English, French, Dutch, Scottish, German, Irish, and Lithuanian. Like many other Americans, I am one big ol' melting pot. I like to call myself a conglomeration of pasty white Europeans. I have freckles, blue eyes, and a tendency to burn if left out in the sun too long. By too long, I mean more than ten minutes of direct sunlight. I've had some pretty interesting sunburns in the past. Cursed Day Star!
Growing up, having any sort of ethnic culture to me felt like just another hat I could wear. It wasn't necessarily something that stuck with me nor was it something my parents were really into. I think a part of it has something to do with their laid-back way of dealing with most anything and a larger part of it is the fact that they moved a few states away from their respective family members in Upstate New York. Mom grew up with cousins galore as part of a larger, decidedly Irish Catholic family. She went to Catholic schools and they threw epic parties. I actually haven't asked about my dad's family gatherings. I should look into that. It's always fun learning about your family's background. Or maybe that's just me.
Anyway, this leads me to something that bothers the crap out of me. The idea of some sort of pure culture that must be prevalent or else society will collapse as a whole is just some serious bullshit. Look, folks, most people in America come from somewhere else (except for the Native Americans, but that's a whole other thing). For centuries, people have come from across the world to make a home in this country. It's a big melting pot here. I'm a product of that big melting pot. We are stronger because we are a melting pot. Our diversity is what makes us awesome. We shouldn't lose sight of that.
I started a project some months ago on Tumblr in an effort to remember some of the things that may have been forgotten over the generations. I called it Languages My Family Lost. I'd hoped to receive submissions from folks about the languages their families used to speak and somehow pull that all together into this larger narrative about assimilation and losing cultural backgrounds. I even got a few submissions from friends and a couple of folks on Tumblr. Unfortunately, the blog ended up mostly being me posting random quotes about languages. The quotes seemed to have been more popular than the other content. I hope to get back to it someday. I just ran out of random family stories of my own to share. If you're reading this, go ahead and submit something to Languages My Family Lost and let's get it started again.
Anyway, yeah, this is going to be short because I can't think of where I'm going with this next. So, until next week, this has been Me Monday. Take care and be good to each other.

* Originally written on March 27, 2013.
This morning, I saw this poster in the facebook wall of one or two friends, about the Mining Act of 1995 (RA 7942). I think this was made by the Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center, Inc. (LRNRCI).
Three things caught my attention. One, oral debates at the Supreme Court. Some groups could be contesting the constitutionality of that law until now. But it's an 18 years old law now, why would its Constitutionality be questioned and not earlier?
This law is a product of Congress, not the SC. So people can initiate and support new legislation that will scrap or significantly amend that law. Why can't they go through this legislative process?
Two, Tax Regimes. The focus of the oral arguments is on taxation? But a new bill on mining taxation will be introduced when the new Congress resumes in late July this year, so why would the Supreme Court hear arguments on things that are Constitutionally a function of the Legislature? I also read that the BIR made recent Revenue Regulations that seem to reverse the Mining Act on taxation. The Act says taxation should start "after a cost recovery period" or similar term, while the BIR wants taxation to start "during cost recovery period." The BIR is the mini-legislator and implementer at the same time, weird.
Three, the photo. Am curious which mining project it came from, and if it is the actual mining site or a mine tailings pond? If it is the latter, then that company is doing responsible mining, preventing mine tailings from going into the sea. Mine tailings ultimately dry up, wild grasses can grow on them later. A company may also cover a dried up tailings pond with ordinary soil, then plant trees on them. After a few years, there is zero trace that it was once a mine tailing pond.
Then there were two news reports yesterday about this event in Baguio next month, below. Portion of the news report from PhilStar says that the SC will hear "alleged adverse effects of mining to the environment, health of the community and human dignity."
I didn't know that the SC is also into oversight function, I thought it is the job of the Executive branch (DENR, MGB) and Legislative branch that creates or amends existing laws.
The Consti provision, "All lands of public domain, waters, minerals, coal, petroleum and other mineral oils,… are owned by the State." (Art XII, Sec. 2, PH Constitution) I think is misunderstood. When a mining company removes top or mid-soil and rocks, say 10 meters below the original level, the land is still there. One can dig 20 kilometers of the planet's crust, deep into the mantle (but they will burn due to intense heat from the planet's core) and the "land area" is still there, owned by the state.
Many anti-mining groups and individuals argue that mineral deposits and products are non-renewable and must be protected by the government from commercial interests. This position is questionable actually.
In a mining forum at DLSU that I attended, a mining engineer from UP, Rodalee Ofiaza, said that geologic processes — movement of magma (molten rock, still underground), various hot gases from the planet's core to the mantle, onto the crust (the soil where we stand) can turn ordinary soil and rocks into mineral deposits via igneous process or sedimentary process. With the help of volcanoes and earthquakes, which allow the trapped magma and gases at the outer core to move upwards.
The implication here is that since those geologic processes are going on endlessly, and rain water seepage deep into the ground, the heated water turn into gases (some become "hot spring") that contributes to the formation of mineral ores. In short, mineral products are renewable through geologic processes and cycles. Like rain is renewable through hydrologic cycle.
No mining, no modern life. No cell phone, no tv, no computer, no internet, no electricity, no cars, no bicycles, no buildings, no nails and hammer. And yet mining is the most over-taxed sector in the country as if it is a useless activity, as useless as over-politicking.
Below are two news reports yesterday from Business Mirror and Philippine Star. Generally similar content and titles,

SC to hear arguments on constitutionality of mining law
Published on Sunday, 24 March 2013 21:01
Written by Rene Acosta / Reporter
THE constitutionality of Republic Act (RA) 7942, or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995, will be scrutinized by the Supreme Court (SC), which is set to hear oral arguments for and against the law.
The High Court has ordered both the government and petitioners to argue their case on April 16, when it will tackle a temporary restraining order sought by two lawmakers against implementation of the controversial law.
The lawmakers have been joined in their petitions by several residents of Davao Oriental province in southern Mindanao supposedly affected by mining activities of Hallmark Mining Corp. and Austral-Asia Link Mining Corp. They and the residents also named as respondent the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
In January this year, the petitioners asked the SC to stop the DENR from acting on any application for Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSA) that cover 17,215.4474 hectares of land in the municipalities of Mati, San Isidro and Governor Generoso in Davao Oriental….

SC tackles constitutionality of Mining Act
By Edu Punay | Updated March 25, 2013 – 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court (SC) will take a second look into constitutional issues regarding Republic Act 7942 or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 as it tackles petitions of lawmakers against the widely criticized law during oral arguments in court's summer session on April 16 in Baguio City.
In the guidelines released last Friday, the high court listed four common issues in the petitions filed by Quezon 4th district Rep. Lorenzo Tañada III, Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teddy Casiño and former Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros.
The debate will tackle the legal standing of the petitioners and whether or not the legal questions they raised can be subject to judicial review.
The SC also directed parties to argue on whether or not it could still rule on the case given that it had already decided on a similar case of La Bugal-B'laan Tribal Association vs. Ramos administration in December 2004…
Lastly, the high court wanted the petitioners and respondents to discuss the "alleged adverse effects of mining to the environment, health of the community and human dignity."

Abstract : Research in design education recently showed an increasing interest the confrontation of engineering student and the real design activities. Although many student contributions to the industrial projects remained superficially and limited because of complexity and confidentiality issues, the user centric design activity proposes a new way to overcome the distance. The present paper is the result of our research and education program which aimed to provide the opportunity of student participation in the day to day engineering design activities in the context of design for the handicapped children. The specified context thought the student how to follow a generic design approach and how to face and over come the problems caused by having handicapped children who can not explain their needs, or even evaluate the designed prototype.

Today Vic, the packers.com editor answered a question that I think more people should read:
Hippolyte from boat on Lake GenevaI may no longer visit packers.com, because of that comment (read the whole of the day's questions for full effect). But Vic is usually right (except about the Oxford comma), and reasonably amusing, so I think that someone should replace me as a regular reader.
Vic, I go to school to Switzerland from France by boat. Boat rides can be boring, but you're here to entertain them for me. I read your "Ask Vic" column on the way back from school and I read "Ask Vic Extra" on my way to school.
Hippo, put down the column and look around. Find a young woman from France with whom you might enjoy the view. "Ask Vic" is not meant for people like you. It's meant for people who aren't sure if the Packers should play the 3-4 or the 4-3.
If you are interested in the NFL, I suggest you read "Ask Vic" regularly.

Team 254, "The Cheesy Poofs," claimed victory in the World Championships of Robotics this past weekend. Thirty-six team members participated in the tournament, which was held April 26 through 29 at the Edward Jones Dome at St. Louis, Missouri.
This is the third time The Poofs have achieved the top prize in the past six years. They previously won the World Championships of FIRST in 2011 and 2014. This most recent win was achieved working with alliance partners Team 2767: Stryke Force (from Kalamazoo, Michigan), Team 862: Lightning Robotics (from Canton, Michigan), and Team 1676: The Pascack PI-oneers (from Montvale, New Jersey).
In addition to the World Championship, Team 254 earned a Divisional Innovation in Control Award, celebrating its excellence in programming that greatly contributed to the team's success.
"We were competing with 407 of the best teams from around the world including teams from Canada, France, Netherlands and Taiwan," noted Peng Yav, Bellarmine Physics instructor and robotics team faculty moderator. "Teams are split into 6 divisions of 68 teams each, where each division operates like its own mini-tournament with qualification and elimination matches. Team 254 first won the division we were in and then competed against the winners of the other 5 divisions to take home the Championship Title."
Additional Team 254 faculty moderators from Bellarmine are Brad Lindemann, Dan Judnick, Sean Monroe and Shane Liesegang.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. The not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge and life skills.
Director Russ Marcel has announced the cast list for Bellarmine's fall production of Macbeth.
Bellarmine proved its athleticism and depth, bringing home West Catholic Athletic League (WCAL) championship titles in golf, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. The performances of 33 Bells earned them positions on WCAL All League teams.
Robotics Team 254, The Cheesy Poofs, earned their fourth world championship title at the annual FIRST Championship held April 18-21 in Houston, Texas. With titles in 2011, 2014, 2017 and now 2018, their performance not only ties the world record for most championship titles, but caps the team's undefeated season with a record of 53-0-0, making them the only team in FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) history to win every single match in a season.


text: I bought my wife an Eris last week and she likes it. Battery life has been fine so far, but I have one concern. Last night before I went to bed, I checked "awake time," and it was about 6 hours (uptime was about 14 or 15). The 6 hours may have been a little bit high, but it was probably about right. This morning as soon as I woke up I checked awake time again, and it was at 14.5 hours. So it had been "awake" literally all night. I killed extraneous tasks before I went to bed, but here's what I've got installed: Pure Calender* Gmail Unread Count* Audio Manager* OpenTable Shazam Movies by Flixster Astro Google Voice My Tracks DropBox BatteryLife widget by CurveFish* The ones with * were the only ones running when we went to bed (I have those excluded from my task killer). This morning, I killed "Messages" because I read that the stock SMS app can cause the phone to stay awake, but "awake" time continues to increase despite the phone appearing to be asleep. Thoughts? A couple other things: we used my tracks yesterday, but turned off the GPS and killed the app when we were finished using it. And she played Teeter for like 20 minutes a little while before we went to bed.

The face of a man who lived 4,000 years ago was reconstructed using 3-D digital technology to "humanise" him, a museum has said.The man's remains were found in Derbyshire, in Liff's Low bowl barrow burial mound, in the 1930s.The skeleton has been in Buxton Museum's collection for about 30 years.Joe Perry, who looks after the exhibits, said it was important to put a face to the Bronze Age remains.
The face of the man was revealed by a team at Liverpool John Moores University.Caroline Wilkinson, from Face Lab, said the technique was previously done with clay.She said: "It's always a bit of a thrill [to see it work] on ancient persons. It's a surprise to people when they look like us, it creates more empathy."
The project came as part of a successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid to connect Buxton Museum's collections to the landscape.Joe Perry, assistant collections officer, said there was a "need for humanity" with the Liff's Low skeleton."We need to make people think about the skeleton as a person who lived and worked in Derbyshire," he said."We have a duty of care to the deceased, we wanted to emphasise that these are people."
Mr Perry believes the Liff's Low man, who could have been about 35 when he died, spent his life farming within a small community, in what is now the Peak District.It is believed that a stone box he was buried in collapsed and caused the damage to the front of the skull.The other side of the face had to be mirrored in order to predict what he looked like.The museum is due to be reopened in September.

Good to know that the restaurants are doing well. Thanks for including the picture of the post office. The house that we rented a few years back was just down that little side street. We too went to the crepe restaurant for lunch one day, simple but satisfying. I wonder if the same lady is in Le Crepiot? I remember her as her name is Veronique. Look forward to hearing more of your adventures.

Chm, I was quite pleased with the outcome myself :)... and so were my friends I think.
Nadege, All is revealed in today's post. Enjoy!
Virginia, I think 'rocking' is a bit over the top, but I was really surprised myself to see so many people so late at night in what is a small town after all.
Ken, I don't know how 'new' the cheese shop is, but I'm sure it wasn't there in June last year.
Carolyn, LOL! I wish it were me!
Veronica, When we went to the Crépiot in 2010 the landlady was called Véronique. And I was told they she and her husband actually reopened the place after the fire, although it took them some time to make de decision.

12 Things Wordpress can Improve for its Bloggers
12 things that I think WordPress can improve for its bloggers. Details after the jump.
12. Unique visitor tracking Stats
Adding a more specific unique visitor would be good to check how many visitor has been to your site exactly. It tracks visitors by IP address so only visitors with different IP will be counted.
11. Multiple File Uploader
Uploading single individual files takes too much loading time. What if you need to upload 50 files?
10. WordPress Polls
Poll adds more interactive to your site. A good feature if available.
9. Template Category
Create a new post with similar category list as older post. You do not have to check all related tags all over again for post that is related. This provides more consistency and saves time.
8. Recent Edits/Updates Widget
Just like recent posts and recent comments widget, this widget only shows post have major edits.
7. Add New Category Placement
Add new category should be place at the top instead of bottom-most. If you have over 200 categories, to add new category, you have to scroll down extensively. Although there is an archor link to it.
6. Presentation > Widgets
Under Presentation section, Themes are showed first by default. How many times do you actually change your site theme, not in few days right? Changes made to Widgets is more frequently made than Themes. Widgets should be showed first by default. This saves WordPress bandwidth without loading the themes thumbnails as well.
5. Browsing/Manage Uploads Results
Searching for wanted images/files can be a pain when there is 10 result per page. What if there is 100+ pages? If number of result per page can be set in Options, files are more accessible and it saves user time to search for the exact image/file.
4. Draft Post Placement
Draft post should appear at the top irregardless of Timestamp, by default. Currently, you have to select "Draft" from Status drop down list and click filter. Three steps can be skipped when Draft posts are showed at the top by default. Again it's more time saving and less hassle.
3. Publish Button
When you have already written a draft and want to publish it, you have to edit and wait for the WYSIWYG Editor and your content to load before you can publish. Already published post, can have "Status" button in place of "Publish" button instead, which can change the status of the published post to private, pending review, or draft once again.
2. Tag Surfer
I don't know if this is a bug or an intended purpose. When subscribing tags, the tags will be added as Category without the means of the user. Would be great if user's own post with specific subscribed tag can be showed in Tag Surfer as well, user can visual and edit layout of post to make it more suitable for viewing in Tag Surfer. One more thing, when there are many results on Tag Surfer, it only shows first 10 or 15 post depending on the setting of WordPress itself, the rest is cut off. This can be solved by result per page just like Managing images/files.
1. WYSIWYG Editor
There is no button for insertion or handling of tables. It must be done in html code.
If you can think of few more features WordPress can add, feel free to comment.

there's also a http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas , although I highly doubt that anyone really cares about end-users ideas but themselves. those WP users who code in php either go for plugins or hack a core in their own install (latter option is what WP is liked for most of all).
all those 'Ideas' forums look to me mostly as a mere formality and a way to channell off some fuzz.
you've got *new* features/options and *fixes* mixed in the one list, I'd split it.
anyway, I found some of some of your points made quite logical and reasonable, but once again see #0:
12. didn't get it;
11. /cool feature/ — there are quite a few services in file storage/sharing business, while WP is "a state-of-the-art semantic publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability." – wontbeconsidered;
10. polls /cool feature/ — there must be plenty plugins for wp.org — wontbeconsidered
9. sticky tags /cool option/ — hardlyeverbeconsidered
8. uhhm, dunno — you've got to be logged in to get this info, then whom is this widget for?
7. /usability/ reasonable — who cares, wontbefixed
6. /usability/ reasonable — who cares, wontbefixed
3. /cool feature/ TMCE table button — no problem; submit feedback, will be ready on this/next week
2. dunno — there are usually only a few drafts, then 'Publish' would be meaningless for all the rest already published posts.
1. it's a feature ;-) — anyway who use a 'Tag Surfer' if it can't remember a set of tags I'm really interested in, and can't do a combined tag search (see also: Search on Global Tags / Advanced Tag Surfer)
0. who cares?
12) Won't happen. Violation fo the privacy ToS.
11) Won't happen. No way for them to be scanned for virii.
10) Rumor has it that they're coming
9) Probably won't happen as most folks don't write like that.
8) Probably won't happen as most folks don't write like that.
7) Lazyness on your part. Ctrl-End on a standard PC.
6) Probably won't happen as the point of the presenation page is the themes, not the widgets.
5) Been suggested. Staff says it's done that way for a reason.
4) Lazyness on your part. Change the Status selection.
3) Lazyness on your part. Tables are no longer under HTML 4
2) Won't happen as it would require the page to be fully reloaded instead of the fade reload.
1) The tag preloaded the ones you're currently using.
I like some of these ideas :)
Tho the thing I would most like to see is a polls option. I would find that very useful indeed :)
Fabolous site of emoticons! thanks

Chicago Sun Times' Michael Sneed quotes Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke (former head of the USCCB lay review board): "The real world has finally come to the Vatican. He now has all the facts. He now has to act on the information. It is his duty to lead the church out of this darkness. I personally met him in 2004 when he was still Cardinal Ratzinger — and we talked about these issues, and he was one of the first members of the church hierarchy that truly listened to the national review board!"
Burke's unsolicited advice to BXVI? "A fraternal correction must take place." She suggests that bishops who shuffled around abuser priests should be forced out. Toward the end of the article she goes a bit proddy with Church Am We talking points such as "we all have a responsibility to participate in the administration of the church," but forgiving that, she makes some good points.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe came to Danville on Friday to honor the more than $1 million — and a nearly equal amount of hopes — invested into the freshly completed Gene Haas Center for Integrated Machining at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.
The ribbon cutting gathered together a long list of politicians, funders, donors and educators to remark upon and honor the milestone achievement that is the Gene Haas Center. The center, part of the Capstone Integrated Machining Technology project, is a partnership between Danville Community College and the Institute.
With a $1 million Gene Haas Foundation endowment, a $1.9 million Danville Regional Foundation grant and an additional $650,000 worth of Haas Automation equipment, the center is state-of-the-art workflow cell training lab. Funding has come from numerous private sector donors with the majority coming from the Gene Haas Foundation.

Hi Food52ers! I need 1 tbsp of heavy cream for a soup (or rather, the recipe calls for 1 tbsp). I'm sure it would add a bit of something to the soup but I was too cheap to buy a cup of cream to use merely a tbsp! Any ideas of what I can substitute that will give a similarly unctuous feel? (It's a leek/fennel/potato soup with a fennel stock - nothing fancy - from Deborah Madison's Vegetable Literacy) Thanks a gazillion!!
Whole milk should be fine for that trace amount.
You can substitute whole milk and butter at around a 3:1 ratio for cream. Since you only need 1 tablespoon of cream, I would go with 2 tsp of milk and 1 tsp of (melted) butter to keep things simple.
Since it's only a small amount evaporated milk would work fine also.
And/or a teaspoon of butter, if there's none in the recipe.

Arrival of the Rose
On Monday, January 26, 2009 at 9:06 pm Pacific Time, the Rose arrived. She weighed 9 lbs. 10 oz. and measured in at 21.75 inches long. She was our second water birth and our third homebirth. The labor was one of the most difficult of all our children, as she was born asynclitic and occiput posterior. We tried a number of techniques, including a popular Mexican rebozo technique to help the baby reposition, but to no avail. She had her mind set on that one. Our midwife told us that hospitals normally will do a cesarean section for a baby in that position, so we were quite blessed that we could deliver normally.
The Gods were there for us all to get us through it and we are very grateful. Father Jupiter, Mother Demeter, Eilethyia, and Dionysos were all invited to assist, among others. Our eldest daughter, the Princess, told me last night the name of a fairy she saw helping the baby get born. It was a magical moment, as all births are. Our children also attended, helping by retrieving things we needed when they weren't getting into trouble. Having them in the house will help them bond with the new baby, along with giving them a better understanding of how babies are born.
We are excited to enter the next stage in our family with four kids, the Princess, the Warrior, the Diplomat and now the Rose.

It's secret
Subiect: Re: Reita
Vin Sept 12, 2008 9:44 am
What is your first impression of Reita?
Aoi: I can't recall anything. We were not as closed as now, not much memory back then.
Uruha: I joined the soccer club when I was in year 2. Reita joined in year 4 [In a current interview, Reita said they have been friends for around 15 years!]. He was in small size back then. With black hair and don't know why he always pout.
※Extra – Reita's expression: There's nothing to do with the lips!
Uruha: And there was another good friend called KAKI chan. They are one big and one small so Reita was being called "the smaller one". And I found him very good at joking when we talked, my first impression of him is like "Isn't he fun."
Kai: I was introduced to him by Ruki. I thought he was some gloomy person.
※Extra – Reita's expression: Liar! I have talked with you.
Ruki: When Reita talked about his first impression in my session, didn't he said I didn't go home with them? I want to explain myself here, I couldn't anything of it.
※Extra – Reita's expression: WHAT?
Uruha: Ruki has said nothing yet. Just go on.
※Extra – Reita's expression: "What's that. Just Annoying. I don't care……" was murmuring himself.
What are Reita's strong and weak points?
Aoi: The good point is, he is good at cheering people up when we are all frustrated. The bad point is, his motivation is low. There is a little bit different of him when in live.
Uruha: The good point is, he will stand on himself whatever happened. And his bad point may has something to do with his A blood type. When I said "shouldn't it be this because of that", he wouldn't listened to me at all. He would just say "So what will you do?". And when I listened to him I found him just changed my sentences. I thought it's better to answer people after listening to them, so I hope he can just listen to me.
Kai: He is really good at detecting the atmosphere. [天下一品means the first in the world. Kai tried to flatter Reita here.] He's keen on understanding people just by the look.
※Extra – Reita's expression: "That's right." Having a smile on his face.
Kai: The bad point is, he'd like to solve disagreements by hands. He just like bullying me when I can't reply properly. But if I stand on a good point, he will disturb me by hands. When I saw that and said "Hands disturbing again?" then he would really came attacking me. (laugh)
Ruki: The good point is, it's very interesting to talk with him. I can always find words to keep on his conversation. About the bad point, it was Uruha's birthday event some days ago, of course we are celebrating for him but Reita wanted presents himself as well. Is he just jealous or he is impudent?
※Extra – Reita's expression: What? Like all's my faults anyway. (sweat)
Ruki: Well, it's just things like that.
Do you have things like "Please keep your mind on that! Please stop doing this!" that you want to tell Reita?
Aoi: Aren't we both standing on the right hand side of the stage? When I was standing in front of the stage I felt him came and push me aside. What should I do if I want to come in front?
Uruha: I want to say he always consider to much and I think sometimes he just do it over. And of course these do reflect on the matter of the band. Please don't gives up in the middle, try to finish it up.
Kai: Say it in a good way, he is good at associating with people. But in a bad way, he is quite self-centered.
※Extra – Reita's expression: Staring
Uruha: True, true. Sometimes he said he was going to invite people, but the person who came next day said it was like a torture.
All: nodding.
Ruki: He said I had messed up his house before, but he also messed up mine. I told him quietly you shouldn't do it to the others if you dislike that yourself too. But he just attacked me, I am still a little bit afraid of speaking him now. (smirk)
※Extra – Reita's expression: Staring at Ruki.
Ruki: The feeling now is quite uncomfortable as well.
Here is the corner of instant dialogue.
Aoi: In live, we are both standing on the right…… Umm, it's hard to say. Reita will complain about it again. No, I don't have anything want to know. (smirk) It's good enough to perform like before.
Uruha: He has became manneristic recently. There's lots of chance that we go home together, but he just didn't talk to me. I thought he don't want to talk with me.
Reita: Well, I don't really understand which is the fact. Uruha didn't talk as well. He seemed in a bad mood when the car came pick him up in the morning and he just complain about the others. I want to say loudly that "Aren't you the same!".
Uruha: Well, keep your eyes open when you are driving!
Wait a minute, it's not good to have quarrels here. Please go on happily.
Uruha & Reita: Okay~~~
Kai: My question is much more urgent. May I work along with you as the rhythm team? I have said a lot before but I really don't have much confidence.
Reita: What? It's all my fault with everything happened and not happened. It's just annoying that everyone want to take their revenge!
Kai: He got pissed off already, then just forget it. (smirk)
Reita: WHAT!
Kai: My question is ended and you don't need to answer that. If I make you angry, I will just follow after you quietly. (smile)
Ruki: I always thought, Reita always say something the same to me when I visit his home. He will say like "want to eat something" or "are you hungry".
Uruha: Err? May be he always asked if Ruki was hungry because he was hungry himself?
All: Looking at Reita
※Extra – Reita's expression: lower his head.
Ruki: I will be in a bad mood when I am hungry. But that just happened once in our old band times. Although it just happened once, I would always buy 2 burgers when I started to get hungry. Eat one immediately and left one to have it later. But I found it gone later, I got hungry already by then.
Uruha: That's something strange……(laugh)
Ruki: Therefore…Please listen to me. I was really hungry and I don't have any money with me. I was looking forward to the burger and found it gone. Can you understand my feeling? I could just go to sleep without the burger. And Reita will still ask me "Got angry? Are you hungry?". I just want to know what do you mean.
Reita: Well……I am just joking.
Ruki: But Reita keep on saying that for more than 2 years!
Uruha: I can understand Reita's thinking pattern now. But isn't that just fine to get something to eat when hungry?
Ruki: I want to say, I would have said it myself when I am hungry, don't need to worry about me.
Reita: I am sorry, may be I just use the wrong method to show my caring.
Ruki: And there's nothing to do with my anger.
Reita: I am really sorry about that.
Is there any difference when it's just two of you instead of all being together?
Aoi: I still don't have the chance to be just with him. Although I stayed overnight at his home before, but we didn't talk at all. I even thought I have been to the wrong house. When I went home, I was friends with his family but not Reita's.
All: laugh
Uruha: Well, he like to be half joking in his talk. I have been friends with him for such a long time, I just know about his gentleness well enough.
※Extra – Reita's expression: Thank You!
Uruha: Well, we have said lots of horrible things of him, but actually he is much more gentle that that, please look after him.
Kai: When it comes to me, he treats me all the same with the others around or not.
That's really nice of him.
Ruki: When we have the same topic, he will chat very passionately with me. For example, if Reita bought the DVD of his favourite artists, he would come show it to me very happily.
What makes you feel cool of Reita recently?
Aoi: He gets really serious when it come to music.
Uruha: He is very easily affected by the others. If he met some cool bands, he will have changed in some dedicated ways.
Kai: Ummm? It seems there's some changes with his clothing style.
Ruki: I am like the others giving an "OH" when I see changes in his clothing style. His wearing was rather rigid before, not as causal as nowadays. I was very shocked to see him wearing his silver necklace out.
At last, please say a sentence to Reita.
Kai: I love you!
Uruha: Love you, too!
Aoi: Yeah. Right.
Ruki: Ahahaha

Where do you buy the cheapest red meat? Extra points for non-ground!
I have 2 80lb malamute mixes that are rescue doggies that I feed a modified raw diet to (raw chickens, meats, etc, + yogurt, butter, cream, + cooked/frozen veggies). They are very healthy, but I have trouble finding good deals on red meat other than ground beef, which I'd prefer not to feed them(not that they care). I'm looking for notably less than $2/lb. They eat like 100lbs of food a month, and unfortunately, rely too much on chicken (which I can find for under $1/lb) for their protein.
I also find that even stew meats (at my local grocers) run at least $3-$4/lb (which I think is a bit high compared to chicken!). As a result, we rarely eat red meats, though I'd prefer to eat more. We LOVE to eat steak, but don't do it much because of the cost. Iron is good for you!
I have done some searching for local farms that sell portions (like 1/2s or 1/3s) of cows to get a decent deal on meat (I have a chest freezer) but none of the nearby farms have cows, mostly they all have pigs and chickens, which I can find for cheap pretty conveniently. We'd eat all the tasty good parts, and all the freaky parts and bits that we don't want would go to the doggies.
That's not to say that we don't enjoy high quality meat, most of the time I try to make sure we get nice stuff, and during the summer (when farmers markets are open and the garden is producing) we like to eat seasonally and cook/freeze things, but we ARE on a budget, and the more money we spend on the furkids' food, the less we can spend on our own!
Where do you go for killer deals on red meats?

Pre-Draft Trade Talk
- Posted by Drew Epperley
- On January 14, 2009
- 0 Comments
- 2009 MLS SuperDraft, Christian Gomez, Jonanthan Bornstein, Mike Magee, Trades
What more could you expect going into a draft. Loads and loads of trade discussion. The news keeps flying in today about potential deals that could take place over the next 48 hours or so. I figured they need to be looked at a bit closer to see what will and what won't happen in the coming hours.
Of course some of these are rumors so take it for what they are, but others seem more legit as some reports are surfacing about them continue to come out.
Another note: I'll have my final mock draft coming up here in a little bit.
Trade Talk #1: Seattle dealing top pick
Honestly I think something will happen with this top pick. A couple weeks ago I was dead set on seeing Seattle make the first selection in the draft but the more I read into what people are saying about Sigi Schmid and his new crew, the more I believe they will look to deal this top pick since they aren't too sold on a few of the top prospects in the draft yet.
Where they will trade to is still the question. Biggest suitors for that top pick right now are Toronto, DC, Dallas, and LA.
Right now my bet is Dallas goes for it on a last second deal. They will send their number 5 pick for the top pick along with Dax McCarty (a guy they are heavily shopping this winter).
DC could still make a play for the deal but I still have a feeling they stay at number 6 and 7.
Trade Talk #2: Toronto Dealing Picks
Now that Seattle is in the discussions with people the talk with Toronto has hushed a little bit. Not surprising too as I've felt the Reds were hold on too long to deal on of their picks. A deal could still get done tomorrow and if they do it will be with either Chivas USA or DC United. Apparently Chivas really wants keeper Stefan Frei, who is seen as the next Brad Guzan. To do so some say they will be willing to trade defender Jonathan Bornstein to whom ever they are trading with to move up (the AmeriGoats only have a couple early picks).
Desperate times call for desperate deals and Chivas could do just that if they really want Frei. I think this is a move that could ver well happen. Chivas sends Bornstein and probably a draft pick or allocation to Toronto for the second overall pick.
DC still could make a good offer but I just don't count on it at this point.
Trade Talk #3: Christian Gomez
Oh the talk on Gomez is really heating up today. Some are saying he will go here and others say something completely different. SBI says New England, Steve Goff says Dallas. Both will probably dangle late first round picks at Colorado for Gomez is either report is true. I believe there is still a mystery team that is out there in the running for Gomez that hasn't been mention that will end up with him (Houston maybe? Kansas City?).
Either way, if Gomez goes somewhere look for Colorado to be picking up some of his salary in 2009.
Trade Talk #4: Mike Magee to LA
This one is pretty much done and waiting on league approval from what I hear. Word has it the Red Bulls will get a conditional second-rounder in probably the 2010 draft.
Trade Talk #5: Wilman Conde
Part of me still thinks the Fire could be dealing Conde this week if they can find the right club and deal. They know they won't have him for 2009 so making a play now seems to make the most sense. But the thing is, no one is stepping up right now to go for Conde. Should Toronto want to deal with Chicago (and we know how that has worked out in the past), they could still make a deal here. Time is ticking away though for it to happen.
Trade Talk #6: Ante Jazic on the move
The only likely destination for Jazic still seems to be Toronto. Thing is I wonder what LA would get in return here. Just like the Conde thing, the talk with Jazic has cooled off a bit recently. Ives seems to think he will end up in a Chivas uniform is they trade Bornstein.
Trade Talk #7: RSL on the move up
Word out of Salt Lake, the club still wants to move up the draft boards to get midfielder Sam Cronin. They are willing to dangle some defenders to get to done too. I don't see them going all the way to the top of the charts unless they work out a monster deal with Seattle (not likely). Still they could move to number 4 from Toronto and have a shot at landing Cronin if other deals work out.
That's it for now…remember there will be a live draft chat tomorrow afternoon starting around 12:30 CT.

A sparrow had four young ones in a swallow's nest. When they
were fledged, some naughty boys pulled out the nest, but
fortunately all the birds got safely away in the high wind. Then
the old bird was grieved that as his sons had all gone out into
the world, he had not first warned them of every kind of danger,
and given them good instruction how to deal with each.
In the autumn a great many sparrows assembled together in a
wheatfield, and there the old bird met his four children again,
and full of joy took them home with him. "Ah, my dear sons, how
I have been worrying about you all through the summer, because you
got away in the wind without my teaching. Listen to my words,
obey your father, and be well on your guard. Little birds have
to encounter great dangers." And then he asked the eldest where
he had spent the summer, and how he had supported himself. "I
stayed in the gardens, and looked for caterpillars and small worms,
until the cherries were ripe.""Ah, my son," said the father,
are not bad, but there is great risk about them. On that account
take great care of yourself henceforth, and particularly when
people are going about the gardens who carry long green poles
which are hollow inside and have a little hole at the top." "Yes,
father, but what if a little green leaf is stuck over the hole
with wax?" said the son."Where have you seen that?""In a
merchant's garden", said the youngster."Oh, my son, merchant folks
are smart folks," said the father. "If you have been among the
children of the world, you have learned worldly craftiness enough,
only see that you use it well, and do not be too confident."
Then he asked the next, "Where have you passed your time?" "At
court," said the son."Sparrows and silly little birds are of
no use in that place. There one finds much gold, velvet, silk,
armour, harnesses, sparrow-hawks, screech-owls and lanners. Keep
to the horses, stable where they winnow oats, or thresh, and
then fortune may give you your daily grain of corn in peace.""Yes,
father," said the son, "but when the stable-boys make traps and fix
their gins and snares in the straw, many a one is caught.""Where have you seen that?" said the old bird."At court, among the
stable-boys.""Oh, my son, court boys are bad boys. If you
have been to court and among the lords, and have left no feathers
there, you have learnt a fair amount, and will know very well
how to go about the world, but look around you and above you,
for the wolves often devour the wisest dogs."
The father examined the third also. "Where did you seek your
fortune?" "I have cast my tub and rope on the cart-roads and
highways, and sometimes met with a grain of corn or barley.""That
is indeed dainty fare," said the father, "but take care what you
are about and look carefully around, especially when you see
anyone stooping and about to pick up a stone, for then
you have not much time to waste.""That is true," said the son,
"but what if anyone should carry a bit of rock, or ore, ready
beforehand in his breast or pocket?""Where have you seen that?"
"Among the miners, dear father. When they get out of the pit,
they generally take little bits of ore with them.""Mining folks
are working folks, and clever folks.
If you have been among mining lads, you have seen and learnt
something, but when you go thither beware, for many a sparrow
has been brought to a bad end by a mining boy throwing a piece
of cobalt."
At length the father came to the youngest son. "You, my dear
chirping nestling, were always the silliest and weakest. Stay
with me, the world has many rough, wicked birds which have
crooked beaks and long claws, and lie in wait for poor little
birds and swallow them. Keep with those of your own kind, and
pick up little spiders and caterpillars from the trees, or the
houses, and then you will live long in peace.""My dear father,
he who feeds himself without injury to other people fares well,
and no sparrow-hawk, eagle or kite will hurt him if he commits
himself and his lawful food, evening and morning, faithfully to
God, who is the creator and preserver of all forest and village
birds, who likewise heareth the cry and prayer of the young
ravens, for no sparrow or wren ever falls to the ground except
by his will.""Where have you learnt this?"The son answered,
"When the great blast of wind tore me away from you I came to a
church, and there during the summer I have picked up the flies
and spiders from the windows, and heard this discourse preached.
The father of all sparrows fed me all the
summer through, and kept me from all misfortune and from
ferocious birds.""Indeed, my dear son, if you take refuge in
the churches and help to clear away spiders and buzzing flies,
and chirp unto God like the young ravens, and commend
yourself to the eternal creator, all will be well with you,
and that even if the whole world were full of wild malicious birds."
He who to God commits his ways,
in silence suffers, waits, and prays,
preserves his faith and conscience pure,
he is of God's protection sure.

Indian tennis round-up: Rohan Bopanna crashes out of Rome Masters, Yuki Bhambri loses in Busan
Thursday did not prove to be a great day for Indian tennis stars as both Rohan Bopanna and Yuki Bhambri lost their respective matches. At the Internazionali BNL D'Italia in Rome, the seventh seeded pair of Bopanna and Edouard Roger-Vasselin were upset 6-7(5), 4-6 by the unseeded Uruguayan-Spanish combine of Pablo Cuevas and Marcel Granollers in the second round.
The Indo-French pair produced five aces and won 69% of their first serve points. However, they were let down on the second serves, where they could grab just 39% of the points. In contrast, Cuevas and Granollers won 81% of their first serve points and 56% of their second serve points.
The unseeded duo was especially resolute on the break points, saving four out of the five they faced. The only time that they dropped serve was in the first set but they also managed to break Bopanna and Roger-Vasselin before taking the set in a tie-break.
In the second set, they did not concede any break point and needed just a solitary break of serve to close out the win in 1 hour 32 minutes.
After a great start to the clay season, that saw Bopanna and Roger-Vasselin reach the semi-finals in Monte Carlo and the quarter-finals in Barcelona, the pair has struggled to win matches at the Madrid Masters and now in Rome. With this latest loss, they are now on a three-match losing streak.
Bhambri goes out early in Busan
At the Busan Challenger in Korea, the India No. 1 and second seed Yuki Bhambri could hardly provide any resistance to the 265th ranked Ze Zhang of China and went down 4-6, 3-6 in the second round. The World No. 94 had returned to this tournament after a one-month break due to a minor foot problem.
Bhambri had won his last tournament -- the Taipei Challenger. He will next set his sights on getting some practice on clay at the Geneva Open before heading to the French Open, where he has got a direct entry.
At the Samarkand Challenger in Uzbekistan, qualifier N Sriram Balaji lost a tight two-setter, 6-7(5), 6-7(3) to the second seed Attila Balazs in the second round.

More than 60 people turned out Wednesday night to get answers to their questions on how to deal with issues involving aging parents or spouses during a town hall meeting at the Salt Lake County Government Center.
Experts from various agencies participated in a panel that answered questions about caring for a parent or spouse medically, legally and emotionally.
From the broad scope of experience on the panel, it was evident throughout the night, just how complex the issue of aging really is.
"This issue requires economists, psychologists, social workers, physical therapists, doctors, nurses and lawyers because it takes a team approach, I believe, to deal with this issue," said Scott Wright, director of Gerontology at the University of Utah. "So the biggest challenge is to get all these groups to work together so that we can have successful outcomes."
Questions were answered about health care programs the elderly may benefit from and representatives from the Department of Workforce Services encouraged the elderly who are wondering if they qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, to simply apply.
Advice was also given about the many legal aspects involved with aging, like writing wills, trusts and making important medical decisions. Jilenne Gunther, an attorney who is actively involved at the Utah Division of Aging, said that in Utah, people can write their own wills, but many times hiring a professional to do it for them could end up solving many problems in the future. She also warned those in attendance to be wary of do-it-yourself legal software programs because they can cause problems.
The panel also gave advice on how and when to help the elderly make lifestyle changes, like giving up driving. Their consensus was that it must be done with respect and love, but it cannot be ignored and drug out over a long time, or it may cause a crisis.
"If we can get there early and get education and understanding sooner, I think we will have better outcomes," said Peter Hebertson of Salt Lake County Aging Services.
The panel mentioned the many city, county and state resources available to help answer questions and encouraged people to make use those services whenever they need help or direction. Nick Zullo, a geriatric counselor, also encouraged the caregivers to get involved in support groups that might help them deal with their stresses and worries.
The meeting was held in conjunction with the ongoing Deseret News series "Gray Area: Utah As It Ages." Before the meeting, there was a reception featuring photographs from the series by Deseret News photographer Laura Seitz.
