Manager very helpful but first associate wasn't. They have an allergen list they printed out for me that has quite a options
|Not celiac friendly
1205 Dallas Hwy, Waxahachie, TX 75165
Good selection based on online info...but management was clueless about GF or celiac. Online says they can substitute corn for flour in most items. If you are celiac beware, eat at your own risk.
1840 Precinct Line Rd, Hurst, TX 76054
Gluten friendly menu on website
3930 S Carrier Pkwy, Grand Prairie, TX 75052
The street tacos are very good & celiac friendly. They have a decent gf menu & will substitute corn tortillas for menu items that come with flour tortillas. *Be aware that Taco Cabana uses the same fryer for everything.
3550 S General Bruce Dr, Temple, TX 76504
Highly recommend the street tacos! You can ask to substitute corn tortillas for most items offering flour tortillas thus making many additional items safe. *Be aware of cross contamination for crunchy tacos/nachos etc. as they use the same fryer for everything.
110 U.S. Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75149
They did not understand what wheat free meant, I love coming but would have liked them to understand better what "no wheat" means.
3905 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77098
Affordable delicious food. Fresh taste and not at all greasy.
|Celiac friendly
110 U.S. Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75149
Really good...but it might be iffy...I got sick because I forgot to tell them to change their gloves.

Hello guys its me Tyla so today I'm going to be blogging about Robotics.
So every Wednesday we go in groups to the Hall. The groups we go in is our Literacy groups. I go with Mrs Carr for my group and what we do is build like this robot type of thing. It is pretty fun but the hard thing is that you have to work things out. Then when we go to our next session, we go and use the iPad and control them. It's pretty cool and it the end, we do a race but we don't get any prize but does not matter. That's all I've got today. Bye guys!

Pink over the years has gotten a bad reputation. Barbie ruined pink for most of us but happily with the right combination of colours and textures pink can still be workable.
The most sophisticated colour palette that will convert you to a pink lady? Pink and Tan.
Via What Elle Wears, Sarah Jessica Parker wearing hot pink with her tan leather tote, Rosendahl Watch, I-pad Cover
Hot pink with a crisp white and tan leather is the perfect combination.

There are several ways to sync bookmarks between your Nokia N9 and PC, I am going to discuss three of them here.
Method 1.
Mozilla Firefox Sync
Mozilla Firefox sync seems to be the easiest way to sync bookmarks with your PC but... It only works in Mozilla browser. If your not using Mozilla on either your PC or Nokia N9, you must settle for other syncing methods (see methods 2 and 3 below).
Start Mozilla on your N9 and go to Settings -> Sync -> Connect. This will display a sync code.
To start syncing bookmarks, open Mozilla on your PC, click the Home button (or type about:home in the location bar) to bring up the default Firefox home page. At the bottom of the home page, click the Sync link to open the Sync settings window.
Then click the Pair a device link and the Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Note: See Where can I find the code to add a device to Firefox Sync? for more information.
When the code is accepted you will see a Device Connected message and your device will immediately begin syncing. Click Finish to close the setup window.
Then click the Pair a device link and the Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Enter the twelve character code generated on your other device and click Next.
Note: See Where can I find the code to add a device to Firefox Sync? for more information.
When the code is accepted you will see a Device Connected message and your device will immediately begin syncing. Click Finish to close the setup window.
Method 2.
Bookmarks and MeegoMarks
Note: Google Bookmarks are not compatible with Chrome bookmarks, so if you want to use them, you'll need a Google Bookmarks browser plugin anyway.
MeegoMarks, on the other hand, offers all the features of Bookmarks plus Del.icio.us bookmarks service.
Bookmarks project is no longer supported and has some issues (i.e. it is impossible to log into Google Bookmarks). Thus, it is highly recommended to use MeegoMarks instead.
|Bookmarks doesn't allow to log in to Google Bookmarks. This is the screen I get when I try.
The method is quite easy, but you must install a plugin on your PC browser to make adding bookmarks possible (I find the Pocket service plugin for Chrome the most convenient)
One disadvantage of Meegomarks (and Bookmarks) app is that while PC to N9 syncing is simple, N9 to PC is a struggle. To add a bookmark from your system browser on N9, you must copy the address, start MeegoMarks and manually paste the address... I really wish the MeegoMarks was integrated into Accounts on Nokia N9 to make sharing easier than that.
Anyway, If you syncing is mostly one-directional (from PC to N9) - using MeegoMarks with one of the services, e.g. Pocket (Read it later) is good enough.
Method 3.
Evernote is one of my favourite bookmark management solutions (download it here for your Nokia N9). The reason is that it is the only one that integrates deeply in Nokia N9 Accounts and you can easily press Share from within virtually any application to share movies, links, photos and entire websites (see screens below).
The Evernote sharing plugin available from the Nokia Store needs a small fix, though. Follow my blog entry to do it and enjoy.
That's basically it. Evernote is my personal choice because it offers best inegration with N9 system accounts. If you don't mind spending a minute to tweak Evernote, this should be the best solution to dealing with bookmarks.

Not this one, the above pic was taken with my phone. Time to time I gave food to them. Now I saw they come almost everyday. Not only this birds, I saw some other birds too. 🙂

My First Relaxation Blog
4 comments:
hello Fatima, thank you for your input on relaxation. Your information was well presented and refreshing. I find that I sometimes don't make active attempts to perform the techniques. But now I feel this is going to be another way for me to flourish. Also I love music it usually fills all my time when I am able to listen to it.ReplyDelete
Hi Fatima,ReplyDelete
I very much enjoyed the information you presented. There are somethings you mentioned I did not realize that I use during a time of stress for me. Listening to music is a top priority within my life. I find it does bring about calmness and relaxation. Especially after I have danced to the one song whose rhythm and beats just get your body moving. There is one other type of relaxation exercise I truly benefit from and that is "becoming one" with my spouse. I love the rush of the moment and intensity I feel but then afterward, my body relaxes and my mind stops thinking. This allows me to rest and refresh my mind, body, and spirit in order to move forward.
Thank you so much for sharing your prespective. I look forward to more of your blogs.
Mary R.
Hi Fatima,ReplyDelete
I love what you said about relaxation and the release of the hormone endorphin causes an effect much like ecstacy.
Isn't it wonderful to have this tool? Even though it was around back then, I wish I had known about it 30 years ago.
Hi guys,ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your nice comments. I discovered long time ago that the effect of music is not a myth and it is very much true.
I guess there is a reason why all the natural endorphines-inducers activities(food, music, exercise,and sex)are famous, people do them all the time and relax although they may not know the science behind them.
I for once eat under strees and that calm me down. I also listen to music and dance if I am nervous and irritable.
I used to exercise, but recently my back problem stoped me, but the good news is that we can use imagery to enforce the same relaxing effect as if we are exercising in reality, of course one will need a very good imagination to do that!!!
As for the age (Paula) it is never too late to rediscover new techniques.

HEDGESVILLE, W.Va. - Hedgesville Councilwoman Cheryl Young said she was told by her husband not to arrive home from her regular meeting Wednesday evening as the municipality's new mayor.
She didn't, but no one else did, either.
The town council did not receive any nominations to consider for the post that was vacated by Charles E. Mason last month. And none of the elected or appointed officials present at Naylor Hall Memorial Library expressed an interest, either.
"Who knows? I really haven't given it much thought," said Young, who was elected to council in the 2005 municipal election with Mason. The town's first black mayor stepped down to accept a professional opportunity with JP Morgan Chase & Co.
Interim Mayor Terri Miskovsky reiterated her interest in remaining Town Recorder, a post she also was elected to last year.
Councilwoman Mary Sue Catlett said she might consider expressing interest, which leaders decided Wednesday should be put in writing by the regular September council meeting. Councilman Nicholas Hengemihle said he would consider the position, if no one else did.

Deadline Day
Well today is the big day and the moves are already happening. So far the East has done a few minor deals and lost some big names and the West has continued to improve, sounds like the NBA does it not? So far we have Brad Richards going to the Stars while Brian Campbell is now a member of the San Jose Sharks. In a surprise move the Habs unloaded Huet to the Washington Capitals for only a second round draft pick.
I will keep updating throughout the day!
Phoenix gets Marcel Hossa, Al Montoya and New York for Fredrik Sjostrom, Josh Gratton and David Leneveu
Toronto trades chad kilger to florida for a 3rd round pick
L.A. trades brad stuart to Detroit for a 2nd and 4th round pick
The wild acquire Chris Simon from the Islanders for a 5th round draft pick
Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis traded to Pittburgh from Atlanta for Angelo Esposito, Colby Armstrong and Erik Christenson and a 1st round pick
New york gets Christian backman from St Louis for a 4th round pick
Toronto trades Hal Gill to Pittsburgh for 2nd and 5th round pick
Matt Cooke traded from Vancouver to Washington for Matt Pettinger
San Jose Gets Rob Davidson from the New York islanders for a 7th round pick
Colorado Gets Adam Foote from Columbus for a 1st round pick+pick if foote resigns
Washington gets Fedorov from Columbus for ted ruth
Ottawa gets Martin Lapointe from Chicago for a 6th round pick
Carolina gets Ruutu from Chicago for Andrew Ladd
Colorado gets Salei from Florida for Skrastins and a 3rd round pick
Washington gets Huet from Montreal for a 2nd round pick
Dallas gets Smith, Jokinen and Halpern from Tampa for Brad Richards and Holmqvist
San Jose gets Brian Campbell and a 7th round pick from Buffalo for Steve Bernier for a 1st round pick
Florida gets Wade Belak from Toronto for a 5th round pick
New Jersey gets Salvador form St Louis for Janssen
One Response to "Deadline Day"
Penguins sacrificed their future for a subpar winger. The 2008 and 2009 drafts are supposed to be the deepest in years and they are going to be missing a whole lot of picks because of the deals they made yesterday. Hossa is going to be a free agent in a few months and there is no guarantee he will resign with them. Seems like a big waste to me. I am very glad Paul Holmegren of the Flyers chose not to trade away the teams future in Jeff Carter + picks for anybody available.

The World's End: here's a film that is as silly as they come and embraces it to entertaining results. The excellent cast (Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Martin Freedman in particular) is fun to watch as they build their characters somewhat slowly, but surely, to the point where they are cared for. That is somewhat rare in comedies, but the genre is looked at mostly for laughs, and here they are present; they are the result of well-read lines, by the preposterous story and visual aspects (the quick, smart editing helps a lot).

Soccer fans attacked in Mpumalanga
By Nomava Nobumba
27 June 2010
A group of foreign soccer fans has been held up at gunpoint in Mpumalanga.
The incident happened at the group's lodge in Hazyview, after the Australian Socceroos' match against Serbia in Nelspruit last week. A gang of four men ambushed three Australians, a French citizen and a British couple when they returned to the lodge.
It is reported that the attackers groped an Australian woman, but Mpumalanga police say they only received an armed robbery complaint.

MIND MELD: Favorite Guilty SF/F Pleasures
[Do you have an idea for a future Mind Meld? Let us know!]
Not everything in SF/F can be classified as a 'classic' or even 'good'. Sometimes that doesn't matter, you just can't help yourself, you know you shouldn't like it, but you do anyway. This week's question is:
Here's what they said…
It was not hard to answer this question, since I am one of those sober sorts who hasn't a lot of guilty pleasures. My favorite genre distraction is Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension. The movie has a cult status that may have faded somewhat in the last few years, but no movie restores my good humor more than this one. It is a brazen festival of camp, genre clichés, and pulp excess, but it is also an extremely earnest film full of moments both funny and delightful.
It is an easy film to make fun of, given its improbable plot, implausible notions of physics and alien life, and the rampant scenery-feasting conducted by the actors, which takes their characters beyond stereotype into some other actuality. The film virtually cannibalizes not just genre conventions, but itself, feeding off of poorly-conceived ideas that are thrown at the audience and then used to fertilize the hyperkinetic progress of the movie. It is not well-filmed, has some editing problems, and constantly struggles to exceed the conventions it embraces, but it's fun. The flaws of the film give it a rough texture that to me ameliorates those weaknesses and creates its own reality from the tension created by the juxtaposition of so much visual indulgence with characters ardently committed to the struggle at hand.
It is the relentless cascade of improbabilities, the jerky timing of the scenes, and the surreal ideas and images blended into the rote plot that make the film strangely original. Its retro-pulp-New Wave aesthetic is flamboyant but heart-felt. This cobbled-together aesthetic wants to be seen as fashionable and edgy but ends up awkward and nerdy, with a hint of derring-do thrown in to the mix. The protagonists think they're heroic and flashy and rugged and cool, but we know that most of it is in their heads. And that's part of the point of the film: this world is ridiculously unreal to the viewer, but standard reality for the characters.
From boa-wearing aliens to rug cleaner/mercenaries, the film's inhabitants are strange to our eyes, unexpectedly distinctive but not out-of-place. There is a gentle culture shock involved in viewing the movie, both in trying to understand the aliens' motivations and the humans' actions. Despite its reliance on clichés for much of the plot there is an off-kilter exuberance and integrity to the universe the film portrays. Part of the fun of watching the movie is figuring out what matters in the details and what was tossed in to make the movie weirder, but repeated viewings give you a more holistic sense of the alternate reality of the film, which makes it a guilty pleasure worth viewing over and over again. It is not profound, but it wants you to believe, and it wants to startle you with its oddness and drag you into its universe. For me, it does that so well that three decades of watching it have not dulled its lunatic energy and capacity to charm and entertain me.
I will speak as a member of the horror contingent. I have way too many guilty pleasures, but for sheer awesomeness, I'm going with Friday The 13th, The Series. It summed up the 80s in grand style: a low-budge syndicated show that was never afraid to back comb the cast's hair into clouds of poofy spectacle. In fact, I probably shouldn't feel guilty about this at all. Some great talent was involved in the show, including the main cast of Louise Robey, John D. LeMay, and daddy bear Chris Wiggins. Episodes included contributions from such talents as Sarah Polley, David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, and Paul Monette. Despite low production values, the show's energy was always high. The stories were predictable, in old-school pulp style, and that's what made them fun. Every few years I go back and watch the entire series end to end, and I dig it still. Screw it. I don't feel guilty! It's a great show, poofy 80s hair and all!
Turning tricks for comics outside of convenience stores and freebasing Super Friends episodes, I'd been a Superman fanatic since I was a wee wee. I was nine-ish when the big film came out and my pushover mom hauled my friends and me three tiny towns away to the theater. While we waited in a block-spanning line, a scrawny woman in her fifties came out of the first showing, pumping her fists in the air and shouting things like, "It was incredible! It was fantastic!" before slipping into her VW Bug. She immediately leapt back out, ran to the front of the vehicle and attempted to lift it up before getting back in and driving away. This was Superman, folks. Even then, entrenched for decades as an American icon, beloved by millions, adored by my round, little, apple-cheeked self.
This is not my guilty pleasure.
My guilty pleasure is Superman Returns. Three decades after that first movie, I dragged my less enthusiastic teenagers to the midnight showing of this latest iteration the day it premiered. After the show, I walked dizzily out of the large movie-box in the heady afterglow of man-crush. "What did you think of it?" I asked my neo-Smiths. "It was awright," they said. "You just don't understand," I assured them with the appropriate dollop of head shaking. This was Superman! I wasn't even aware Superman Returns was a pleasure which should make me feel guilty until other people I knew saw it and then pointed and laughed at me and slapped me with used garbage bags (the inside-out kind). This happened more than once. Recovering from their revels, they would catch their breath, realize I wasn't joking and inevitably ask how I could love such a movie. And I would tell them.
Superman Returns wasn't just some superhero movie, it was a movie aware of its own history, a gushing love letter to all that had come before. Not just because of the cameos from Noel Neill and Jack Larson of the fifties TV show, or the Brando footage or the photo of Glen Ford's Pa Kent on the mantel, but because in part of Brandon Routh. Routh doesn't play Clark Kent and Superman, he plays Christopher Reeve playing Clark Kent and Superman. To say he does it brilliantly would suggest that I believe he analyzed and intellectualized Reeve's performance. No, he does it so damned well, so effortlessly, that it feels like Reeve is the one who returns.
And we return also. To the magic with which the series began, conveniently forgetting those sequels like a series of blind dates ending in diving, bathroom window escapes until reunited once more with our high-school sweetie. Even this New Metropolis York feels like the same city, albeit a more modern one with less flamboyant pimps.
Yes, yes, it has its shortcomings. Luthor, played well by Kevin Spacey, seems to have devised a plot similar to the one he had the first time around, to totally smoke Rob Ortiz at the next desk and become Century 21's salesperson of the month. It's always real estate with this guy. And then there's Superman lifting an entire continent laced with kryptonite, a continent which doesn't break into pieces at the point he's pushing. And forget those trillions of tons for a second, how the hell is he balancing that thing? (A dear, Superman-loving friend of mine used to point out that whenever Superman moves a planet, to observers on that planet, it should look likes he's some guy doing a handstand. I'm thinking he should go right through it.)
But enough of that, how awesome is it that Superman abandoned Earth for five years? That he comes back and his main squeeze is lovin', touchin', squeezin' another? And doing other things as well, since there's a very short guy who seems to be hanging around with her too. The film confirms that we need a Superman even if he's not there. Hell, here on this earth, he hasn't only been gone for five years, he's been gone for five billion and yet we still need him. We need to believe in him. He is our ideal, in mind and body, and in his morality. He's an all-powerful being who, unlike nearly every other all-powerful being in fantasy and science fiction, isn't a dick. In these and other ways, he's Christ, as the film's Christ-like imagery reinforces. They both had dads who lived in the sky who sent their only sons to earth. Both performed feats beyond the abilities of mere mortals, both put themselves on the line to help people who probably didn't deserve it. And both went away. Superman Returns is a fantasy telling of the second coming, of how we deal both with and without a god in our midsts.
Whether or not our crappy friends appreciate it.
Guilty Pleasure: Reading SF/F series back to back.
I am a patient man in many facets of life, but I would not count waiting on the next book in a series as one of those facets. Impatience compounded by parts of my memory that get harder and harder to retrieve make reading books in a series as they are published a frustrating formula; and many publishing house or authors will not put summaries of previous books in the series in the front for forgetful guys like me. I will still do it for special series (Harry Potter with my kids, or Martin's Fire and Ice Series (George, just take your time sir)). But my guilty pleasure is collecting all of the books in a series I want to read, and reading them back to back to back to…well, you get the idea.
This obviously takes a huge commitment of time (as some of these series are five and six volumes), so I usually only do this with either author's I have previously had a good experience reading, or a series that comes highly recommended. I've yet to find a series I won't read to the bitter or not-so-bitter end, but I also have a few on deck that I have no tackled out of fear or disappointment.
Interestingly, the ones I have read recently are mostly what I would classify as fantasy series. Some recent ones:
– Jim Butcher's six volume Codex Alera series (which my son and I read mostly together, with him reading a book or two ahead of me); I had not read Butcher's more famous series, but an idea I have for a martial arts series got me reading this, and the books are great fun: Roman-esque politics, time and culture with control of the elements (in the form of furies) and a couple of non-human species thrown in for good measure;
– Mark Chadbourn's Age of Misrule series; a unique take on the end of the world, with chaos taking over technology (my review of the first book in the series is at https://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2010/02/review-worlds-end/);
– Stephen R. Donaldson's The Gap Cycle, a total departure from the depressing but well-written Thomas Covenant series, this one is hard core sci-fi with some great characters, complex politics and interesting themes.
– Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle, while not completely fantasy or science fiction, was a great read, a somewhat pre-cursor to his Cryptonomicon (one of my all-time favorite reads).
Series that I have on deck to read, or have not tackled yet:
– Tad Williams' ShadowMarch series; I'm actually cheating here, the last book in the series just came out, and I'm filling the hole that I have in the series (the second book is not in my stack) via a trade with the author. I've enjoyed his previous two series I have read (Otherland and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn) so this series is an easy choice. It is next on my list.
– Robert Sawyer's Neanderthal series; this is one that frankly I just haven't gotten around to.
– Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy; this one scares me, and the large lump of books stares at me from the stack. I've not read Hamilton, but hear great things about him…so many pages, it is just such a commitment, can't we just date first?
The first thing that comes to mind is the cartoon Tripping the Rift. It is puerile and vulgar. It fails at being a satire of SF. Nor does it manage to effectively poke fun at itself, the way Red Dwarf or Futurama do. But it makes me laugh. No, I'm not proud.
I have developed a survival tactic for certain guilty pleasures that allows me to retain my sanity when gazing at the abysmal. Take for example the movie Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man. There isn't a single aspect of that previous sentence that should exist in a civil, enlightened society. It is wretched, to the point where its existence diminishes us as a species. But if you pretend it's a loose adaptation of Jack Kirby's New Gods, it becomes bearable. In fact if you watch it back to back with the 1998 animated Superman episode "Apokolips…Now!" the similarities are apparent.
Plus, Meg Foster as Evil Lyn is a criminally underappreciated SF babe.
The same strategy works with the Will Smith I, Robot movie, a brutal defilement of Dr. Asimov's classic which can be marginally endured if you make believe it's based on the old Gold Key comic Magnus, Robot Fighter. You'll still need counseling afterward, but the recovery time should be much shorter.
If we take Wikipedia's definition of a "guilty pleasure" pleasure as standard ("…something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it"), and we take the guilt to mean simply the fear of losing credibility by acknowledging said enjoyment, then I run into a problem. When I was much younger, most of my highbrow friends (and many of middlebrow ones) deemed any work of science fiction or fantasy a guilty pleasure. It didn't matter whether you were talking about RD-D2 or R. Daneel Olivaw, Tom Swift or Tom Disch, nobody saw any differentiation. Admitting you enjoyed Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns ensured you would be stuffed in a locker at some time during the school year. Quoting a line from Star Trek would make you an object of mockery. Fortunately, those days seem long gone. When I started my freshman year of high school, William Gibson only had two or three stories to his credit, and was virtually unknown; by the time I was a freshman in college, a number of people in the lit set (not just science fiction) treated him like a rock star. Today it's not uncommon to find non-geeks who are fans of, say, Battlestar Galactica, Fringe, or Heroes.
In terms of science fiction and fantasy, there isn't much that I would term a guilty pleasure, in large part because my taste, in or out of genre, always has been catholic, and often rests on a sliding scale…which drives both my highbrow and lowbrow friends batshit. Sure, I always ask that any work meet a certain level of quality, but occasionally I am willing to sacrifice quality if said work is done with style, or sufficiently blows my mind. Rudy Rucker's The Hacker and the Ants may not approach the level of an early work like, say, The Secret of Life or White Light, but it makes up for any deficiencies with a great deal of humor and just feeling "real." I don't think Robert Silverberg's The Face of the Waters matches the level some of his work from the 1960s and the 1970s (Dying Inside, Downward to the Earth, Thorns), but I can still admire the craftsmanship that went into it. I love Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, and have said so several times, even though it doesn't possess a single neuron in its beautiful head. Let's face it, there is a lot of trash in this particular genre, and that (for me at least) always has been a part of its charm. Usually, though, when a work is bad, I have a hard time finding anything that saves it.
Despite all of this, I do have my own guilty pleasures. I worry sometimes that my admission of works that have really enjoyed will cause the loss of some charisma points.
Take Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather, for example.
Now, I happen to like a great deal of Sterling's work, which in itself one might consider a guilty pleasure. Schismatrix blew my mind when I was a teenager. I admired Islands in the Net for its attempts at creating a credible future (as he did with his most recent novel The Caryatids). But problems arise when I try to evaluate them as novels. Incredible though his world building is, he didn't really write a fully successful novel until Holy Fire and Distraction. In a way, his work mirrors that of Sir Arthur C. Clarke's: incredible ideas that seemed tacked on to a dramatic structure. His 1994 novel about storm chasers in a climate change-dominated future is a major offender in this regard. There's a lot of fascinating extrapolation here, which isn't surprising, but it really doesn't save the novel, and as a result it's one of the works that goes undiscussed when one talks about Sterling's postcyberpunk period. But so much of Heavy Weather is so fascinating (especially the storm sequences) that I tend to forgive it its faults. It's also funny.
The early passages in which Janey Unger rescues her brother Alex from an illegal Mexican clinic are about as funny as anything I've ever read in the genre. (It's one of the few books, along with Joe R. Lansdale's Bad Chili, where I've actually laughed out loud.) And for me, that saves it.
Humor also saves William Gibson's Virtual Light, first volume of the Bridge trilogy and his first post-Neuromancer "failure." For his fourth solo novel, Gibson left the confines of The Sprawl to have his cast of ne'er-do-wells cruise and bruise through a balkanized California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger has become President of the United States. Given a solid drubbing by most genre fans of the time (in part because its concerns seemed so mundane), Virtual Light actually reads like a near future Elmore Leonard novel more than anything he had done up to that point. (Most of Leonard's novels are pretty funny, too.) Much of it lacked the flashy eyeball kicks or the brain-melting extrapolations we came to expect from his previous work, but for me it felt like a natural progression of his talents and obsessions. It didn't hurt that at the time Bravo was running episodes of Max Headroom on Friday nights, so my brain already was in a similar playground. If I wasn't going to have an Alien 3 scripted by Gibson, then hey,I'd settle for this bit of fluff.
Speaking of which, there are more reviled science fiction movies than Alien 3, but most fans have cause. And they have cause for disliking David Fincher's debut film, from killing off Michael Biehn's Hicks to the grim setting and bleak worldview. So much of the movie is dreary and unpleasant that it's hard to imagine anybody coming to its defense. And yet, I really do like Alien 3, faults and all, in large part because it doesn't make any attempt to show the viewer a good time, and for many of its symbolic resonances, which, along with the deaths of Hicks, Newt, and Bishop (Lance Henrickson), I'm sure also turned off a great number of fans. Of everything on my list, this is perhaps the guiltiest of my guilty pleasures, and the one for which I'll take the most flak, but it's also the one that, for whatever reason, resonates.
Galactic Patrol
In the late 1960's, I traveled between the galaxies.
In reality, I was standing in front of the wire-frame book rack at Packard's Market in Hackensack, New Jersey. My parents would bring us there for the weekly shopping trip, dump us in front of the books and we would happily browse while they shopped (can you imagine anybody doing that these days?).
Ah yes, the days before bookstores. Yes, there were bookstores in the world, children. Just not in Teaneck, New Jersey, not then. There was the library (with a shelf of science fiction for "juveniles" about four foot long) that I worked through. Alan E. Nourse (Rocket to Limbo, followed by books such as Raiders from the Rings and Scavengers in Space) was my first science fiction novel. Andre Norton (Star Born, the Forerunner books, Zero Stone, Uncharted Stars) soon followed, and then Arthur C. Clarke (Islands in the Sky) and other books from John C. Winston Books…
But those wire racks. Those took me between the galaxies.
You see around that time Pyramid Books reissued E.E. "Doc" Smith's classic Skylark books and Lensman books. I'm not sure what it was that caught my eye. Was it the name? (Did "E.E." have the same mysterious connotations as A.E. in A.E. van Vogt and C.L. as in C.L. Moore?) Was it the fact that it was a series (if you like the first, there's more to come!)? Was it the artwork by (as I learned later) Jack Gaughan?
The covers. Definitely the covers. Cool bug-like spaceships. They didn't look like the Mercury and Gemini capsules that I built models of. They looked like, well, spaceships! Far future craft, plying their way between the stars.
Standing there as the crowds swirled around us, I started with the first book in the series, Triplanetary. And was hooked. During subsequent visits (I was a fast reader), I went through the rest of the series: First Lensman, Galactic Patrol, Grey Lensman, Second Stage Lensman, Children of the Lens and Masters of the Vortex.
We didn't start small. Oh, no. We start with the collision of two galaxies, the creation of many worlds, the rise of two competing philosophies, war in space and on the Earth, the fall of Atlantis, the fall of Rome, World War II, World War ??? and then war between planets.
And that was just the start of the series!
The rise of the Galactic Patrol, the coming of Kimball Kinnison, space pirates, the layers of the onion that was the crime organization of Boskone, weird aliens that were allies…ships that got bigger and bigger, weapons that got bigger and bigger. Heck, skip ships, start tossing planets around! Negaspheres! Vortexes! Mind power! More!
Corny? Yes. Characters? No. Nevertheless, hook, line and sinker. And I revisit them every couple of years.
The Lensman series led to Skylark. Skylark led to John W. "Astounding Stories" Campbell, Jr. Then there was Edmond "World Wrecker" Hamilton, Leigh "Planet Stories" Brackett, Jack "Space Legion" Williamson and all the other proponents of the first great age of space opera.
Space Opera, yep, that is my secret vice.
These things come in waves. Space opera, as it was later termed, helped to build science fiction and bring about the "golden age" (eleven). It helped to spawn films like Forbidden Planet and television series like Star Trek. Then it became uncool and we had the New Wave and the like and then the New Space Opera and it was cool again and then fell out of favor and came back as the New New Space Opera.
It lives, it breathes, it grows. Alastair Reynolds, Peter F. Hamilton, Iain M. Banks, Charles Stross, Ken MacLeod, John Ringo, David Weber, Travis S. "Doc" Taylor (finally, another "Doc"!), Howard Tayler and many more share in my "secret vice" now.
When does a secret vice become not so much a vice? Hmmm…time to crack open Galactic Patrol. Or maybe The Legion of Space. Or The Black Star Passes. Or…

Thanks for all the well-wishes re my test. But let's not get all weird and jinxy till the scores actually come back!
Mark is at a meeting at work, he actually works nights tonight but had to get up and get dressed up for a meeting. Blah to that. I tried to sleep in a bit, but just couldnt. I just cannot sleep past about 8 am anymore. We were watching a movie last night, but I fell asleep after just a few minutes, and finally came up and went to bed about 12:30. 12:30?!?! I know! This class is kicking my ass.
My Biology project was submitted on time, and I've received decent feedback from the professor. "Nice work except for this one thing..." Ah well...
Mark wants to go look at cars today, something to replace the ever-water-leaking Taurus. I'm just not into it right now. I wish he'd just buy something and bring it home. lol
I can smell the coffee. (so is it time to wake up? - you know, wake up and smell the..oh nevermind).
I'm gonna go get some.

New strains of rice may help fight China's diabetes scourge
May. 18, 2017
The obesity-linked disease is on a tear in China, and rice -- the country's favorite staple -- is showing up in studies as an important contributor. The black kernels Li pinches off mature stalks with her fingers and drops into paper sachets have been bred to avoid causing the high spikes in blood-sugar when eaten that can eventually lead to type-2 diabetes.
China tops the world in the number of adults living with diabetes: 109.6 million as of 2015. Another 40 million could join the ranks by 2040 unless preventative steps are taken. Refined white rice is seen as an obvious target because the majority of the nation's 1.4 billion people consume it at least once a day, and eating it has a similar effect on blood-sugar levels as gorging on white bread.
"The number of people with diabetes is surging," said Li, a professor of life and environment sciences at Shanghai Normal University, treading between muddy rows of rice in green rubber boots. Still, healthier rice alone won't tackle the problem -- it has to taste good too, she said. "So, we're also trying to improve the texture."
The rice experiments Li is working on -- under a giant bird net at a plant-breeding site about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Sanya city, on the southern tip of Hainan island -- are part of an international effort to improve the nutritional value of rice.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, for example, is working with rice researchers in the Philippines and Bangladesh on rice enriched with vitamin A to tackle blindness.
Gut Health
Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, or CSIRO, is developing rice with more fiber so that it's broken down in the lower digestive tract, where it can aid gut health and avoid the glucose-surge that can weaken the body's response to insulin and eventually lead to type-2 diabetes. A separate program underway with the Chinese Academy of Sciences is seeking to pack rice with more vitamin B and E, iron, and zinc.
"Middle-class Chinese are now very focused on nutrition," said Phil Larkin, a chief research scientist with the CSIRO in Canberra. "The rate of increase in type-2 diabetes in China is very frightening."
A study released in 2013 estimated that China had 114 million people living with diabetes, or 21.6 million million more than a study three years earlier.
Black rice
Li's experimental rice has a larger germ -- the embryonic part of the kernel -- than normal rice, she explains. That feature gives it more protein and less carbohydrate, which is converted into glucose during digestion. Her current work involves creating hybrids that combine that property with the taste and texture of the rice varieties popular on China's populous eastern seaboard.
Black rice from her lab grown on a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) plot last year was sold to two local companies. Shanghai Microwells Biotechnology Co. removed the hull and blended it unpolished with white rice in a 20 percent blend. General Manager He Jianhui said it was a potentially risky move since most Chinese prefer eating white rice and believe that unpolished rough rice is inferior.
"But, now that more Chinese are seeking a healthy diet, we hope the unpolished rice can help people with the potential to develop diabetes, and that by improving their diet, they can avoid turning to doctors for medicine," He said.
Refined white rice -- even varieties bred to have less of a detrimental effect on blood-sugar -- is still a nutrient-poor food, said Sun Qi, an assistant professor at Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston. Whereas whole grains, including brown rice, are rich in cereal fiber, minerals, vitamins, and beneficial phytochemicals.
Rice Yields
Hybrid varieties with increased vigor and disease-resistance have helped China achieve some of the world's highest rice yields among major producers and remain largely self-sufficient in the cereal, even as consumption advanced 13 percent over the past decade driven by population growth.
Until recently, nutritional and processing quality had been overlooked in striving for yield improvement, said Zhongyi Li, a plant molecular biologist with the CSIRO's in Canberra.
Annual per-capita consumption slipped to 104.8 kilograms in China last year, from a peak of 109.7 kilograms in 1997, as diets changed and improved food transportation gave consumers more choice. The nation's wheat-based bakery industry expanded about 10 percent last year.
Making rice more nutritious and less likely to accumulate heavy metals, like cadmium, may help reverse the decline in per-capita consumption, and boost prices. Japonica rice futures on Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange have dropped 8 percent this year, while long-grain non-glutinous rice has advanced 2.7 percent.
Glycemic Impact
In the Philippines, the International Rice Research Institute, or IRRI, has identified the genetic basis of a component of starch that may be used to counter the cereal's glycemic impact -- or propensity to spike blood-sugar, said Nese Sreenivasulu, head of the institute's grain quality and nutrition center.
IRRI found in 2012 that the glycemic index, or GI, of rice ranges from 48 to 92 across more than 200 varieties from around the world. The sugars of low-GI food are absorbed more slowly, resulting in a gradual and sustained release of glucose in the blood, reducing the need for a surge of insulin that can eventually lead to insulin-resistance and diabetes.
"As of today, more than 430 million cases of type-2 diabetes occur worldwide and the problem is severe in developing countries like China and India," Sreenivasulu said. "Many modern varieties have a high to intermediate glycemic index, hence breeding for low-GI is an important trait."

...peaceful warrior...
The teachers I have had have been amazing.
One of the yoga instructors shared a quote that really made me think....
Ever since my beautiful mom died I have had this feeling that I have something to share, something more to do, something I cannot quite pinpoint, but I know there is something.......
The words she shared really resonated inside of me.
"The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose in life is to share it." I am not sure where the quote originates from but I just love it!
Do you have the feeling that there is more to do, more to give, more to share?
3 comments:
I can completely relate. I believe that we are placed in this world for that exact reason. I am still trying to find my gift so that I can share and teach others. The other day I was just thinking about once I am done with school I want to do more with my community but I am not sure what I want to do. But I always feel there is something I must find that is unique to me and that I should share it with others.ReplyDelete

The non_Muslim scientific questions and the answers of Quran
By ..............(A non-muslim friend) :
I have a set of scientific questions that I want the Quran to answer.
By Ansaralmahdi :
It's very good that you spent a time to at least ask some questions and if you truly want to know their answers not for testing Quran, God would answers you through it. He would clear your thought through it.
He would clear everything for you. And it's very important that your aim to be for helping the science for the people interests not for your benefits.
And it's very important you know that there is no helper other than him. As he has said in Surah Repentance , verse 116 :
"God holds control over Skys and Earth. He both grants life and brings death, while you (all) have no patron nor any supporter besides Him"
Quranic verses should be understood firstly through its translation then through its interpretation. Even though it would be understood by yourself, too, if you truly want to know your answers , ask sincerely
from God to clear it for yourself , open your eyes and be clever then you certainly would get your answers through it. Of course, there are a lot of scholars who interpreted Quran. I suggest you refer
to Almizan Interpratation of Quran(written by Alameh Syed Mohammad Hussain Tabatabai) to understand the secrete means which is inside the verses. Since Quran is not supposed to show its treasures to dishonest people.
Please, pay a lot of attention to the deep and mysterious points in the verses of Quran.
Questions and Quranic Answers:
(Qustions by ...............(The non-muslim friend) and the answers from the Quran provided by Ansaralmahdi)
1-Do the subatomic particles in the Standard Model have supersymmetric partners? Can they be detected by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN?
(Hood Surah,v. 37) :
"Build the Ark under our eyes and our inspiration. D not preach to me about who have done wrongs they will be drawned"
2-How exactly does the Higgs field generate additional mass?
(Coalition Surah,v. 43) :
"He is the one who accepts prayers from you, as do His angels, to lead you out of darkness into Light, He is Merciful with believers"
3-Why does the universe contain more matter than antimatter?
(The Standard Surah, v. 45-50) :
'Have you not seen how your Lord lenghthens shadows? If He so wished, He would make them stand still. Then We placed the sun as an indicator for them, next We gradually pulled them toward Us. He is the One Who has placed night as a garment for you, and sleep for repose; He makes daytime for rising again. He is the One Who has sent the winds as heralds announcing His mercy. We send pure water down from the sky, so We may bring life to a dead land, and let everythind We have created drink from it, such as livestock and men aplenty. We have spelled it out forthem so they may bear it in mind; yet most men refuse(to do) anything except disbelieve(in it).
4-Can string theories ever be empirically tested? Do they have any validity as a true description of the real world?
(Sheba Surah, v. 48-50) :
"Say: "My Lord, the Knower of unseen things, aims at the truth" .
"Say: "Truth has come, while falsehood neither originates nor does anything over again."
"Say: "If I have strayed, I have only led myself astray, while if I have been guided, then it is because of what my Lord has inspired in me. He is Alert, so Near."
These are 4 Quranic answers to your 4 scientific questions. If you got it, tell me so I send you the rest of its answers. This was the end of what I could send you at the internet. The secrets of Quran are
not supposed to be available for all. I suggest you consult with an Islamic scholar to clear their interprations for you. But please, if it lightened even a small part of your heart, firstly, ask God to help you in this way and then go and search for a suitable scholar...
An example for science in Quran:
(The Cave Surah, v.94-97)
"They said: "Double Horns, Gog and Magog are ravaging the earth. Shall we pay you tribute on condition that you place a barrier between us and them?" He said: Whatever my Lord has empowered me to do is even better, so help me with some (man)power, I'll place a rampart between you and them. Bring me blocks of iron. When he had leveled off (the space) between both cliffs, he said: "Blow on it", untill when he had built it up into a fire, he said: "Bring me molten brass so I may pour some over it nor were they able to tunnel through it."

Tamil may refer to:
Tamil /ˈtæmɪl/ (தமிழ், tamiḻ, [t̪ɐmɨɻ] ?) is a Dravidian language predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and northern Sri Lanka, and also by the Tamil diaspora. Tamil is an official language of two countries, Singapore and Sri Lanka, and has official status in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. It is also used as one of the languages of education in Malaysia, along with English, Malay and Mandarin. In India, outside of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, Tamil is also spoken in the states of Kerala, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a secondary language and by minorities in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and was the first Indian language declared as a classical language, which was done by the Government of India in 2004. The language is also spoken by Tamil minorities in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, United Kingdom, Mauritius, Canada,South Africa,Fiji,Germany, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Indonesia and France, as well as smaller emigrant communities elsewhere.
Tamil is a Unicode block containing characters for the Tamil, Badaga, and Saurashtra languages of Tamil Nadu India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Malaysia. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0B02..U+0BCD were a direct copy of the Tamil characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.
Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing, existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of information. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, plants and some machines. Progress over time tends to follow a learning curve. It does not happen all at once, but builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge. To that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural knowledge. Learning produces changes in the organism and the changes produced are relatively permanent.
Human learning may occur as part of education, personal development, schooling, or training. It may be goal-oriented and may be aided by motivation. The study of how learning occurs is part of educational psychology, neuropsychology, learning theory, and pedagogy. Learning may occur as a result of habituation or classical conditioning, seen in many animal species, or as a result of more complex activities such as play, seen only in relatively intelligent animals. Learning may occur consciously or without conscious awareness. Learning that an aversive event can't be avoided nor escaped is called learned helplessness. There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally, in which habituation has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation, indicating that the central nervous system is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development.
Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge.

RE: High School Vs Club Match
This question is a follow up to question 30842
The questioner noticed that in Club games/Fifa rules throw-ins that do NOT come in to play are retaken,(because the ball never came into play) For High School games, when attempted throw-ins fail to come in to play the throw-in is then awarded to the opposing team. I believe the difference is due to the way the clock is managed in the two different formats. In club play the ref can simply add time if he ever believes necessary. In HS games, the clock is counting down towards an eventual buzzer that the ref has little control of. Regarding throw-ins, a clever coach with a small lead COULD instruct his players to take any throw-ins and fail to throw them into play, thereby unfairly wasting time. Certainly, if a ref thought this was the case he could then stop the clock, but the coaches little trick already worked as time was wasted. By awarding the throw to the other team, the possibility of this ploy is taken away, and the integrity of the game remains.
HI Paul, your argument is as good as any for a solution. Once FIFA changed their approach that a match COULD NOT be restarted UNLESS the restart was performed properly they could have gone in the same direction. In my opinion it would be wise to adopt this policy. Unfortunately FIFA does not care about my opinion . LOL Cheers
Paul, You are correct. The intentional running of time off the clock by throwing the ball so that it did not come in bounds was the major consideration when this rule was passed by the NFHS Rules Committee. In my opinion, this rules change has been very successful. I hope that your having a great fall season.

More Than Just a Face (or Title)
Looking beyond the surface to best relate to others in the workplace
Posted Dec 06, 2016
Welcome to Working with Difficult People! This blog provides direct suggestions and strategies to handle problem bosses, colleagues, and subordinates.
You may be wondering how this photo of a grandmother and granddaughter relates to the topic of workplace conflict. Well, I am the younger person in that photo (circa 1983), alongside my grandmother and mentor, Muriel Solomon. This inaugural blog post is dedicated to her.
Mimi's Sage Advice
Mimi (as we affectionately called Muriel) was one of my favorite people. We had a close and special connection. She played such an integral role in my life and taught me many important life lessons. She even introduced me to the field of industrial-organizational psychology. On a personal level, Mimi encouraged me to think about my future actions before reacting. She taught me to look beyond one's superficial persona, and to use patience, logic, and tact when responding to difficult people. And, she reminded me that there are always multiple ways to view the same situation.
Look Beyond the Face or Title
The most important advice that Mimi gave me was to realize the worth of various people in various places in our lives. You can have different friends for different purposes, she would tell me. Some might be friends you confide in, while others might be friends in a book club. Through Mimi's gentle yet straightforward guidance, I learned to appreciate people for who they are. Instead of focusing on what is wrong with a person or relationship, recognize what is right. Don't be intimidated by difference; rather embrace it. Always focus energy on the many positives in a relationship instead of harping on the negatives.
This blog expands these exact principles into the work environment. Don't be overwhelmed by a person's persona or title. Regardless of one's position or tenure in the office, each of us deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and equity. When we take emotion out of difficult workplace situations, we effectively evaluate what we need to do in order to get what we want and need from a particular relationship.
Different Goals for Different Relationships
We have different goals when dealing with people we work for, people we work with, and people who work for us. We have to tailor our tactics to the outcome we want, based on the person with whom we are interacting.
No matter how bright you are, being angry, hurt, or disappointed blocks your good judgment. The purpose of this blog is to suggest logical action instead of emotional reaction. Please subscribe here and check back regularly to learn exact phrases and proven strategies to handle difficult people in the workplace.
Extensions beyond the Workplace
Of course, even though the focus of this blog is on communicating at work, people don't shed their vexing ways when they leave the office. So, don't be surprised if you also apply these tactics when they fit an obnoxious neighbor or a phony friend or a manipulative relative.
Want to learn more about handling difficult people in today's workplace? Visit me on Facebook. Follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn. Read the book that I co-authored with Muriel, Working with Difficult People.

G.R. No. 124293, November 20, 2000
The National Investment and Development Corporation (NIDC), a government corporation, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. for the construction, operation and management of the Subic National Shipyard, Inc., later became the Philippine Shipyard and Engineering Corporation (PHILSECO). Under the JVA, NIDC and Kawasaki would maintain a shareholding proportion of 60%-40% and that the parties have the right of first refusal in case of a sale.
Through a series of transfers, NIDC's rights, title and interest in PHILSECO eventually went to the National Government. In the interest of national economy, it was decided that PHILSECO should be privatized by selling 87.67% of its total outstanding capital stock to private entities. After negotiations, it was agreed that Kawasaki's right of first refusal under the JVA be "exchanged" for the right to top by five percent the highest bid for said shares. Kawasaki that Philyards Holdings, Inc. (PHI), in which it was a stockholder, would exercise this right in its stead.
During bidding, Kawasaki/PHI Consortium is the losing bidder. Even so, because of the right to top by 5% percent the highest bid, it was able to top JG Summit's bid. JG Summit protested, contending that PHILSECO, as a shipyard is a public utility and, hence, must observe the 60%-40% Filipino-foreign capitalization. By buying 87.67% of PHILSECO's capital stock at bidding, Kawasaki/PHI in effect now owns more than 40% of the stock.
- Whether or not PHILSECO is a public utility
- Whether or not Kawasaki/PHI can purchase beyond 40% of PHILSECO's stocks
In arguing that PHILSECO, as a shipyard, was a public utility, JG Summit relied on sec. 13, CA No. 146. On the other hand, Kawasaki/PHI argued that PD No. 666 explicitly stated that a "shipyard" was not a "public utility." But the SC stated that sec. 1 of PD No. 666 was expressly repealed by sec. 20, BP Blg. 391 and when BP Blg. 391 was subsequently repealed by EO 226, the latter law did not revive sec. 1 of PD No. 666. Therefore, the law that states that a shipyard is a public utility still stands.
A shipyard such as PHILSECO being a public utility as provided by law is therefore required to comply with the 60%-40% capitalization under the Constitution. Likewise, the JVA between NIDC and Kawasaki manifests an intention of the parties to abide by this constitutional mandate. Thus, under the JVA, should the NIDC opt to sell its shares of stock to a third party, Kawasaki could only exercise its right of first refusal to the extent that its total shares of stock would not exceed 40% of the entire shares of stock. The NIDC, on the other hand, may purchase even beyond 60% of the total shares. As a government corporation and necessarily a 100% Filipino-owned corporation, there is nothing to prevent its purchase of stocks even beyond 60% of the capitalization as the Constitution clearly limits only foreign capitalization.
Kawasaki was bound by its contractual obligation under the JVA that limits its right of first refusal to 40% of the total capitalization of PHILSECO.

The computer just shuts down through the test.
What memory test MENSA ?
OR maybe http://www.memtest.org ?
ARM Devices are the future, great British Design !
If it shuts down then try another version of memory test.
Shutting down is generally a bad thing but some other issues may cause it. Window vista and 7 dvd's have a memory diagnostic and almost every linux cd has memtest.
