They Went That-a-Way - Part 5
There are a few places in particular you'll want to explore as you work your way through the ruins of Nipton. First and foremost, visit the trading post near the entrance to town. Within, you'll find a man named Boxcars (weird name, I know). Boxcars is sitting in a chair for a reason -- he's crippled. The Legion has busted his legs in, which was all part of their lottery. Basically, when the Legion arrives at a town, they destroy everything and then force people to pull lottery tickets to see how many will die, and how they will die. They've done everything to people, from burning them alive to beheading them to crucifying them. The man who ran out of town was the technical winner of the lottery, with Boxcars coming in second. Brutal! Keep in mind that you can give Boxcars lots of Med-X for good karma (which will allow him to overdose and escape the pain he's in). You can also explore the trading post itself for all sorts of items, including 10mm Rounds and some Bottle Caps. (Also, speaking with Boxcars will unlock the Side Quest known as Booted , should you be interested in undertaking it.)
If you head to the town's three-story town hall, you'll run into Vulpes Inculta, an officer in the Legion. He'll spare your life for now (as long as you don't attack him or his friends), telling you to tell everyone what you saw here, including the NCR itself (which will unlock the Side Quest known as Cold, Cold Heart ). No matter what you say to Vulpes, the Legion won't attack you here if you don't attack first. So that's good, anyway. Once the conversation with him has run its course, go ahead and explore the town hall. You'll be attacked immediately by Legion Mongrels when you do (which are the Legion's canines). Fend them off as you walk around the first floor. You'll find some interesting stuff when you do, including a Worn Key which can be used to access curative items in the basement.
The second and third floors of the town hall have more Legion Mongrels to do battle with, as well as more items to find. Most importantly, perhaps, are all of the items found within the mayor's office on the third floor. There, you can find a Big Book of Science, a couple of Programmer's Digests, Bobby Pins, Energy Cells, a Laser Pistol, some Turbo, Future Weapons Today Magazine, and more. And should you choose to explore the lesser houses in the rest of the town, you'll find random items, including plenty of foodstuffs, drinks, and even a Single Shotgun, a .357 Magnum, a Patriot's Cookbook and a Locksmith's Reader, if you're thorough. Should you need to sleep (to heal), plenty of houses in town also have beds for you to use. Just be aware that some of these houses are occupied by enemies, including Bark Scorpions and even a Mr. Gutsy Prototype!
When you're ready, it's time to push through Nipton towards our ultimate goal, which is a place called Novac. Novac is located northeast of Nipton, but to get there, you're going to have to follow the highway that leads eastward and then northward from Nipton. After a time of following this highway, you'll reach open wilderness that will allow you to press further north unabated. But first, you need to press eastward down this highway. Expect to find at least one rogue enemy to fight en route, as well as some mines to dodge. Otherwise, things will prove to be pretty uneventful in the early-going.

Note: This article is an adaptation of Acer Aspire One Games List, as most netbooks offer similar hardware and resources. Perhaps that article should be merged into this one.
This wiki page is about games that run well on a netbook - and tweaks to make them better.
- 1 General Notes
- 2 Native - Free/Open
- 3 Native - Commercial
- 4 Emulation
- 5 Wine
General Notes
Most games in this list will benefit from a RAM upgrade, especially to 2GB (the max supported in most current netbooks). They will often also benefit from overclocking the Intel Atom processor, especially a 24% overclock, that is possible with a bios upgrade in the MSI Wind U100, and possibly others.
Native - Free/Open
realistic team oriented multiplayer FPS based on the Cube engine
- runs with little slowdown out of pacman
- Tweaks:
- not yet added
Blood Frontier
Team oriented multiplayer FPS based on the Cube2 (Sauerbraten) engine
- low-fps on big maps. Kinda playable on small maps in duel mode
- Tweaks:

Sacred Gold
Hack'n Slay Roleplay Game like Diablo
- runs little laggy, but still very enjoyable
- start in windowed mode
- The Game has fixed resolution at 1024x768 so you either want to play it on external monitor or you can't see the skill / action bar. You can move the Window pressing alt+left_mouse. So you can see the action bar. But then you can't see the health bar anymore. Email Michael from linuxgamepublishing.com and ask for a fix for that!!!! - would be really great if we could fully enjoy this game on the netbook!
First Person shooter
- runs perfectly from box installation
Mega Drive / Genesis emulator
- runs perfectly, install from aur or archlinuxfr-repo
- activate OpenGL, set video resolution per custom to 1024x600 for streched full-screen or 800x600 for non-streched
- use "Normal" renderer, I couldn't find a visible advantage with the other ones
Nintendo 64 emulator
- most games are running with little slowdown (NTSC games have about 56fps instead of 60fps)
- Tweaks:
- disable "frame skipping" to avoid flickering in games
Virtual machine for old school adventures

- runs smoothly with 24% CPU overclock, such as that offered in the MSI Wind series.
- Tweaks:
- start it with:
wine "Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl or wine "Warcraft III.exe" -opengl

subset: commoncrawl

Okay then, hands up, who thinks Johnny Borrell is a prick? Wow... that's a lot of hands. Well, in that case you should totally check out Slipway Fires, I betcha you'll enjoy it. Probably not in a musical sense, you'll understand. No, you'll enjoy it (sort of) because there's nothing sweeter than having your preconceptions confirmed, and in a display of quite admirable chutzpah, Borrell and cohorts have basically made the album that people who don't like them probably wanted them to make.
Despite Up All Night's big sales and Borrell's waffling on about how he was the reincarnation of Dylan, it wasn't until messiah complexes got indulged at Live8 and 'America' blanketed the airwaves that genuine unease started to creep in about Razorlight. Their self-titled second album was actually alright, ditching the naked Television/Patti Smith thievery of the first in favour of a sort semi-successful attempt to be both The Libertines and The E-Street Band at the same time. But Borrell showed himself to be such an arrogant twerp, and so many idiots fell for the hollow 'America' that you really wished you didn't grudgingly enjoy 'In The Morning', that maybe it would square better with you if they stopped writing decent songs and just started churning out, say, 80s-style AOR instead.
Bingo. If you've heard lead single 'Wire To Wire', you'll have maybe sussed out Slipway Fires already. It sounds quite a lot like 'Black Velvet' by Alannah Myles; Slipway Fires as a whole sounds rather like an amalgam of Dire Straits and stadium-era Simple Minds. The production – by 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' man Mike Crossey – is smooth and glossy as a lake of silver glass. There are lots of ballads, lots of earnestness, and it's about as indie as Margaret Thatcher. For a few songs it's so heroically unfashionable, so overblown that it kind of sort of takes your breath away. After 'Wire To Wire' the guilty pleasure buttons are pushed again by 'Hostage Of Love', a slow-burning ballad that'd actually be pretty solid if it weren't for the mind-boggling lyrics, in which St. Johnny appears to suggest that chicks dig him because he's a bit like Jesus. It actually features the line "I am salvation."
Next, and the sparse, fidgety 'You And The Rest' is fine, and would probably have fit onto Razorlight okay. Impressively it's a full four songs before the shark is jumped, but jumped it is with 'Tabloid Lover', a brash stomp in which "middle-class kids... full of front and self-delusion" are the target of scorn. The hypocrisy is quite funny, but the music is dreadful, sub-'Money For Nothing' chest-thumping that belies the fact this band once used to be pretty good at writing rock songs. The record never hits such a low again, but from then on it becomes a headachey throb of over-production and excessive sentiment. 'The House' – the closing lament for Borrell's father – is a little florid, but should technically be more moving than it is. In fact you're so exhausted by the time it comes round the best you can muster at lines like "I'm a child fighting shadows with tears in my eye" is a weary smirk.
Slipway Fires is preposterous, and in a way I actually wish I liked it more – there's something quite punk rock about basically turning yourself into the living incarnation of everything people hate about you. More prosaically, though, Razorlight are a once promising indie band who got a sniff of the big time and charged at it with a vociferousness that left any sense of artistic endeavour choking in the gutter with their discarded new wave riffs. Sad.

Gambhirananda was a great musician. He used to play on the sitar most hauntingly. A spiritual Master named Bijoykrishna opened an Ashram with his own disciples near Gambhirananda's home. But in the middle of the night when Bijoykrishna would hear Gambhirananda playing on the sitar in the distance, Bijoykrishna would run through the forest, which was filled with dangerous and ferocious animals, without being afraid, only to place himself at Gambhirananda's feet.
Gambhirananda's outer music helped even another Master's aspiration increase. His inner music accelerated the speed of God's March within Bijoykrishna. The outer music brings our soul to the fore. The inner music helps us to see God's Compassion-Eye, His Illumination-Feet and His Satisfaction-Delight.

WASHINGTON — Americans are more likely than ever to reach age 90.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
First-ever census figures on the 90-plus population show it's nearly tripled in size since 1980, to 1.9 million.
One of the nation's fastest growing groups, the 90-plus population is projected to reach 8 million by midcentury, representing 2 percent of the U.S. population.
That's a big change from over a century ago, when fewer than 100,000 people reached age 90.
The numbers show the majority of those age 90 or older had one or more disabilities. They also were much more likely than those ages 65-89 to live in poverty.
The report also noted the unique challenges created by people living longer, including added costs to the already-strained Medicare and Social Security programs.

A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed Aug. 24 and six other people were wounded in what Baltimore police said was the largest cluster shooting since 2009. Police said shooting erupted after what they called "an illegal dice game" in the 1500 block of W. Fayette Street.
Deshaun Jones, 15, youngest victim of the shooting, police said, was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Officials said he lived near West Baltimore and Fayette streets and was scheduled to be a freshman at Frederick Douglass High School this school year.
Det. Jeremy Silbert, a police spokesperson, said officers responded to reports of a shooting at Fayette Street around 9:15 p.m. He said they found a teenage boy, later identified as Deshaun, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Silbert said the boy was transported to a local area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
A police officer was flagged down a block away from the shooting by two men suffering from non-life threatening injuries. Within the hour, four other men, who were also shot at the scene, walked into local area hospitals suffering from non-life threatening injuries.
Silbert said the six adult men who were injured on the scene all had arrest records. Juvenile arrest records are not released to the public.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts arrived at the scene just after the shooting.
"To hear seven people shot in a cluster is outrageous for this city and it's unacceptable for this city as a whole," said Batts. "We've had hundreds of officers out here on the last several nights. I was out here last night."
Batts said the city is experiencing "a rash in clusters, multiple people being shot at one time." He said the number of shooting incidents is, however, comparable to the number of incidents in previous years.
In July 2009, 12 people, including a pregnant woman, were shot during a Memorial Day cookout on Ashland Avenue.
Police are unclear of the exact motive of the shooting, said Batts. He said street craps games are common robbery targets.
Deshaun recently graduated from KASA Middle/High School's eighth grade. The school is located in the 200 block of N. Bend Road in west Baltimore. He was scheduled to attend Frederick Douglass High School as a ninth-grader when school opened Aug. 26.
Jasmine T. Curry, a language arts teacher at KASA, taught Deshaun during his seventh grade year from 2011-2012 . Curry said Jones was "very, very bright and respectful student."
"He was a very charismatic student," said Curry. "He cracked jokes all the time and would fake pass out on the floor and fake seizures."
Curry said Deshaun's mother was very active and involved in ensuring he participated and was involved in his school work.
"She was very active and serious about his education," said Curry. "She didn't tolerate any disrespect."
Deshaun was pursuing a career as a rap artist and performed under the moniker Lor D'shaun. He had uploaded several songs on YouTube garnering thousands of views of his music. His most popular song "My Life" has nearly 10,000 plays on the video hosting platform.
"He was very serious about his music," said Curry. "All the students knew he was a rapper. I didn't even know. At first he didn't want to give me his mixtape. He said it would be too much for me."
Curry said she persuaded the teenager to let her listen to his music. After discovering his CD in her car a few days ago, she said she listened and enjoyed it.
Curry said Deshaun is the first student of hers to be shot and killed in Baltimore. She said other students of hers have been wounded, some injured by stray bullets. Curry has been teaching in the Baltimore City public school system since 2010.
"It's unfortunate any child in America has to live in fear for their life… but it's the reality of our society," said Curry. "It's really unfortunate because Deshaun had a lot to give the world and for his life to be cut short and right before school really bothers me."

- If you're a market person, San Jose is a great place to go. Head to Mercado Central for a bustling food market.
- If you're looking to learn a new skill like speaking Spanish or getting better at yoga, San Jose has plenty of opportunity for both.
- Check out the jugglers every Thursday at Parque Morazan for a very cool (and free) show.
- There are plenty of walking tours sold by tour companies in San Jose. Check out the options and itineraries and plan your own, independent walking tour of the city.
Why you should add San Jose to your RTW travel list
- Central location to explore the rest of the country
- Check out the very active, very stereotypical Volcan Arenal. Just don't climb it.
- Swim or relax on Caribbean or Pacific beaches
- Grab your board for some of Central America's best surfing
- Photograph the scarlet macaws in Parque Nacional Corcovado
Why you should not add to your RTW travel list
- There are some dangerous areas in San Jose, so keep your wits about you.
- Compared to the beauty of the rest of the country, San Jose can be pretty underwhelming.
- The divide between wealth and poverty in the city can be pretty disturbing and sad.

Lake County middle school student had plot to kill teachers, cops say
Lake County deputies say student taken for mental evaluation
CLERMONT, Fla. – A Lake County middle school student was taken for a mental health evaluation after school officials say the student had planned to kill his teachers, along with himself.
Lake County Schools said on Wednesday another student at East Ridge Middle School in Clermont reported the boy's plan to school officials on May 19.
A Lake County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officer then got involved, according to school officials.
Deputies said the student had a knife in his possession when they interviewed him on May 19 and a "little black book" that had a printed out drawing of the school with X marks where he wanted to kill teachers.
According to the report, the student had five teachers he wanted to kill, along with anyone in the front office. The student had then planned to kill himself in front of his peers in the cafeteria, deputies said.
The student was taken to Lifestream Behavioral Center for evaluation under the Baker Act, or Florida Mental Health Act, according to deputies. It's not known if there will be disciplinary action.
Deputies said the student had recently been suspended for 10 days and was in the process of "alternately placing the student." It's not clear why the student was previously suspended.
No weapons were found in the boy's room at his home, according to the report.

Quote:and I don't even use the name "JKD"...
Quote: Or, you also enter into biting and grabbing/maiming distance.
Quote:The point that I'm making with this post is that certain requirements have to be in place if you truly understand JKD. Some are saying now that JKD is just MMA, etc. But this is true only in a very limited sense. JKD is about being without limits.
Quote:I agree John, I think you should write a book/training manual.
Quote:One thing I wanted to pull out of your post was this: Quote: Or, you also enter into biting and grabbing/maiming distance. This is very true. When I was bouncing I saw a very skilled combat athlete set up the clinch perfectly, and then clinch, but his head placement, though fine for the ring, allowed access to his ear. He had it bitten and torn half off. Little 'tweaks' like this to your overall game (like head placement, altering takedowns so the the knees stay off the ground as much as possible) are integral to using what you know for self defense.
Quote:The only thing I would add is that I still think that an MMA gym can bring someone 'up to speed' quickest and give them a good foundation. After this, I think working weapons and multiple attacker scenarios is absolutely necessary. Of course everyone is different, but for me, I found jumping right into this stuff without that base to be too challenging, and in the end fruitless.

In a largely symbolic -- but nonetheless commendable -- "f*ck you" to the likes of ticket vendors who charge exorbitant service fees, one jam band has scalped tickets to its own show.
Here's how it went down, according to the New York Times:
One Friday afternoon recently, about 50 fans and friends of the band String Cheese Incident took $20,000 in cash to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles to take a small stand against the system -- in this case, Ticketmaster. With money advanced by the band, each person had enough to buy eight tickets at $49.95 apiece for the group's show in July. Once all tickets were in hand, almost 400 of them, they were carried back to String Cheese headquarters in Colorado and put on sale again through the group's website -- for $49.95.
"We're scalping our own tickets at no service charge," explained Mike Luba, one of the group's managers. "It's ridiculous."
SCI still charged $12 for postage to mail the tickets, so fans really only saved about $5, but still -- movement's gotta start somewhere.


text: Grab a smooth metal bucket, spray paint, Scotchblue Painter's Tape and a pair of rubber gloves to get started. Use the tape to cover the handle and to create vertical stripes on the outside of the bucket, press tape down firmly and allow it to adhere for 20 minutes. Then spray paint the bucket one color and allow it to dry. Gently peel off the painters tape and you have easy, consistent stripes! For a final fun touch use the spray paint and spray on to the fingers of the glove and flick the rubber glove gently at the bucket to make a speckled pattern.

I read mixed opinions about racing with Freedoms. Of those that race F36/38, what is the minimum crew you take out for an "round the buoys" spin considering the self tacking jib and of course those that do not fly a spinnaker. i do have a pole but not the chute itself. I am thinking of giving it a try with 4-5 interested souls and believe we should be OK.
any hints?

Study shows Night Owls Have More Stamina
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Science
Take that, early birds. We admit it. Some of us here at Live Gear are at our best in the p.m. We were pleased to learn that a new study shows that night owls have more stamina. Researchers at the Université de Liège in Belgium used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor brains from both groups in a sleep clinic. They then gave them a task to do after 1 ½ hrs. of waking and 10 ½ hrs. after. While the attentive levels were the same, the night folks were found to be more focused. The study is detailed in the April 24 issue of the journal Science, if you can stay awake long enough to read through it.

Safety Update
Reciprocating Barrier Makes Elevated Platform Loading/Unloading Safer
As companies look to maximize existing space within their facilities, many are turning to mezzanines to create additional storage space or work areas. In response to this trend, Rite-Hite Barrier Systems, Milwaukee, WI, has introduced the GateKeeper mezzanine safety gate, a reciprocating barrier that creates a controlled access area in which workers can safely load and unload from the edge of a mezzanine, pick module or other elevated work platform.
While OSHA requires industrial mezzanines to have handrails and gates around all edges, these gates need to be opened during a loading/unloading process, creating the potential for a serious or even fatal injury in the event of an accidental fall. In fact, OSHA reports that falls to a lower level are the second leading cause of workplace fatalities, and injuries from those falls result in a median of 15 days a from work.
"Although mezzanines are an effective to increase space, they also present a potentially hazardous situation when it comes to mezzanine loading and unloading," says Rite-Hite's Andy Olson.
The GateKeeper's reciprocating barrier is installed on the edge of a mezzanine, pick module or elevated platform where pallet loads from the floor level are regularly deposited for pick-up. When the outer gate opens to allow pallets to enter the mezzanine level, the inner gate automatically closes, keeping workers out. After the pallet is received, mezzanine-level workers open the inner gate to remove the material from the work zone—the outer gate remains securely in position on the edge of the mezzanine. With loading/unloading completed, the inner gate closes to allow the forklift to remove items in the work zone.Rite-Hite Barrier Systems: 414/355-2600; www.ritehite.com

Mumbai Terror: Scotland Yard lends assistance, plan was to kill 5000
As Scotland Yard detectives arrive in Mumbai, the latest news suggests terrorists had extensive training and were planning for months.
Devastation: Wrecked by explosions and fire, below is a picture of the Harbour Bar at the Taj Mahal Palace on Saturday. A few days ago it was one of India's finest venues, above. Now all that remains is a charred shell
The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it – revealing he was ordered to 'kill until the last breath'. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people.
He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages. Mercifully, the group, armed with plastic explosives, underestimated the strength of the105-year-old building's solid foundations.
As it is, their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces.
The news comes as it is also revealed that the terrorists were funded by British Mosques'

CHICAGO (AP) — Taking on the hecklers who've been interrupting his speeches lately, President Barack Obama argued back Tuesday with a point-by-point rebuttal of their arguments and suggested they "get the facts."
Obama had traveled home to Chicago for an appearance aimed at broadening the appeal of his recent executive actions on immigration beyond the predominantly Latino population that lobbied heavily for relief. He visited a community center in a predominantly Polish-American neighborhood.
About midway through his remarks, three protesters strategically placed around the auditorium rose and began criticizing his deportation policy, saying he hasn't just been deporting criminals. "You have been deporting families," one heckler shouted. A woman among the group of people seated on stage behind Obama stood up and held a sign that said "Obama Stop Deportations Now," with the word 'now' in red.
Obama listened. He sympathized. He asked them to stop yelling. Then when it appeared he'd had enough, the former lawyer and former constitutional law professor set about deconstructing their arguments.
"What you're not paying attention to is the fact that I just took an action to change the law, so that's point No. 1," Obama said. "Point No. 2, the way the change in the law works is that we're reprioritizing how we enforce our immigration laws generally."
"The point is that though I understand why you might have yelled at me a month ago, although I disagree with some of your characterizations, it doesn't make much sense to yell at me right now when we're making changes," he said as the audience of approximately 1,800 people applauded.
"But the point is, let's make sure that you get the facts and that you know exactly what we're doing," Obama said. He directed them to appeal to the immigration advocacy groups the administration has worked with on the issue if they still disagree with his policies.
"What won't work is folks just shouting at each other," he said. "I've been respectful. I responded to your question. I'd ask you now to let me speak to all the other people who are here. All right?"
A heckler interrupted Obama last Friday in Las Vegas, where he discussed immigration the day after outlining the changes in a nationally televised prime-time address. The announcement inflamed Republicans, who have vowed to rein in Obama but have not fallen behind any specific plan.
At issue is the extent of Obama's executive actions, which make nearly 5 million immigrants eligible to be spared from deportation. The measures would apply to parents of U.S. citizens or of legal permanent residents. The parents would have to have lived in the U.S. for at least five years. Obama also expanded a program designed to extend deportation protections to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children.
But in a blow to some immigrant activists, Obama did not provide protections for parents of such young immigrants who are known as Dreamers.
In the speech, Obama praised the contributions to the U.S. by a broad patchwork of immigrants. He cited studies showing that immigrants open one-fourth of all new U.S. businesses and that 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.
"Being a nation of immigrants gives us this huge entrepreneurial advantage over other nations," he said.

Demographic data is crucial in the development of almost all areas of business. If you have an understanding of pertinent information for a specific region, you can study buying trends, make future projections, and determine the proper marketing strategies to use in order to reach consumers. Demographic data is also vital in the education process, as it allows students and teachers to gather a clearer understanding of who makes up the United States, and how their lifestyles have changed and evolved over the years.
On the surface, demographic data can appear as little more than sterile numbers and statistics. However, if you delve into those numbers, you will see that they illuminate aspects of life that are not found anywhere else. Data from the census can help you understand where and how specific groups of people live. You can learn about their backgrounds, their economic situation, their family lives, and more.
At GeoLytics, we compress vast quantities of demographic data into easy-to-use and effective tools. We provide the most detailed and comprehensive data from censuses performed between 1970 and the present. We work with companies and government agencies in a wide range of industries, helping them fully understand what the demographic data means to them.
Our CDs and DVDs allow you to expand beyond the numbers. You can create in-depth reports, spatial references in the form of maps and charts, and much more. We understand the power of demographic data, and we are committed to making it as easy to grasp and use as possible. Call us at 1-800-577-6717, and we can answer any questions you might have.

A balcony gardener wins the Plant Cam!
Reader Sara Martin's rose photos knocked the contest for the TimeLapse Plant Cam outta the park. Just check out this one above, variety unknown, photographed at the Alameda entrance to Fairmount Cemetery. (For more about the next contest, read on.)
And then there's this one, a Chicago Peace rose, which Sara shot at her friend Barbara's yard in Boulder. If you know from Peace roses, you know their amazing fragrance. This photo's good enough to smell.
Says Sara: "I can't take credit for the gardening, only the photography. I live in a condo, so I find vicarious joy in preserving the beauty from other people's gardens."
I'll leave you with her last shot, of a rosebush planted at Fairmount right next to that knockout red-and-white rose, and a plea for some able rosarian out there to offer a guess on the variety in the comments. Congrats, Sara!
And on to this week's contest, which I'm carrying over from last week: Win an individual membership to the Denver Botanic Gardens (which you can upgrade inexpensively if you've got a family). Big things are happening there; they've completed 20 construction projects in the last two years. This summer, the Mordecai Children's Garden and new greenhouses will open, extending the Gardens' iconic conservatory with an orangerie (indoor citrus grove) and orchid exhibit. Plus there's a killer lecture series on food gardening that's already begun. Members get discounts on virtually everything, right down to a cup of joe in the bistro, and guest passes. And you get to see the Henry Moore sculpture exhibition for free. For more about the Moores, the garden, and all that it offers, check out the Feb. 28 Sunday Denver Post.
What do you gotta do? Send me a recipe (preferably with picture) inspired by your garden, to email@example.com. Something simple and easy, like your favorite pesto or dried herb blend or fresh salsa or slaw. I'll share some of mine throughout the week.
Can you feel it? It's almost spring.

Three looks
Outfit Details:
blazer – c/o Jones New York
shirt – Equipment
shorts – Madewell
scarf – Zara
Marquis glasses – c/o BonLook
Emory Oxfords – c/o Sperry
I teamed up with Sperry to style three of my favorite pairs of their shoes. I chose three very different styles: boots, loafer wedges, and oxfords – and created three equally different looks around them. I call this first look my college professor outfit. You know, if professors wore lace shorts. Oxfords are a staple in my wardrobe, whether flat or with a heel. These give me a little extra height without losing out on comfort.
Outfit Details:
jacket – c/o WiNK
shirt – Topshop
jeans – Citizens of Humanity
glasses – Ray-Ban
Essex boots – c/o Sperry
One of my favorite pastimes is perusing the flea market. On this chilly day, I bundled up in a warm coat and my Sperry Essex boots, which were perfect for the cold weather and dusty gravel in the outdoor market. I paired them with a pair of floral pants to keep it from being too drab – anything floral will keep me in cheery spirits. See also: creepy old photographs, creepy cat statues, super old books. It doesn't take much.
Outfit Details:
cape – coming soon
dress – vintage
bow (will be replaced by buttons all the way down) – vintage
socks – Nordstrom
glasses – Ray-Ban
Windstar Penny Wedges – c/o Sperry
I made this cape for an upcoming small run of winter garments, but there are still some tweaks to be made (you'll see the final one once it's complete). These loafer wedges were begging to be paired with it. Elementary, my dear. Clearly, I love a good theme.

There is never any end to the things that come out of Noah's mouth. He only sleeps for 9 hours a day total (no wonder the kid won't grow) and the other 15 hours of the day (it took me way too long to do that math in my head) he spends talking. And talking. And talking. And always wanting a response. And if you don't respond immediately, he asks over and over and over again. You get the cycle. When you talk continuously, you are bound to say some funny things every now and then. However, with Noah, the line between funny and downright embarrassing is a bit blurry. For instance, earlier in the week, Noah and I were enjoying a really great afternoon at the mall. I had to duck into Sears to use the potty. I always try to be as speedy as possibly because in the short time it takes me to go, Noah will invariably unroll all the toilet paper or pop his head under the divider to "take a peek" at the lady in the next stall. However- this time, no sooner had I unzipped and started to hover over a germy public potty, did Noah scream "Mommy- how come girls pee-pee out of their bottoms instead of using their wee-wees?" I managed to jet out of that bathroom before anyone could look at me and wonder if I was transgendered or something. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
And sometimes, if you talk all the time, you are bound to tell a little lie every now and then. Like this morning at the vet. (Yes- we were at the vet again- as a side note the dog is now on Prozac- thank God! Anybody in the market for a psychotic lab?) We walked in and the vet asked how Emma, the dog, was and Noah answered, "She's a crazy girl!" (very accurate) He kept asking if where we were was a vet or a doctor. We tried to explain to him that it is a doctor for animals. The vet told Noah that they helped dogs and cats and farm animals. He asked if they helped horses. The vet said that they did and did Noah have a horse? He said, "Yes." (Very inaccurate.) So the vet's next question was what color was Noah's horse. Without any hesitation he told her that his horse was brown. Then she asked if Noah's horse was in a barn. And he said, "No- we keep her in the street." Little booger!
So while Noah tells tall tales, Sadie has started writing stories of her own. She loves to write. (Wonder where she gets that from?) She used to sit at the kitchen table and write the words that she learned in kindergarten over and over again in every color crayon. In the last couple of weeks, she has figured out that she is not limited to the 30 or so words she's learned at school, and that she can try to sound out the letters to make her own words. And she's been doing just that. She will spend hours just writing and writing- mostly letters to little ole me. She's come out with some really cute stuff lately. Here's a little sample of her work.
Translation: Mommy, I love how you are so sweet on Thanksgiving. Is she insinuating that I am not sweet the other 364 days of the year???
Translation: Going to the waterfall. Have a marvelous Tuesday. Love, Sadie
This is the sign she made for her beauty shop a few days ago, where she gave me a makeover. Translation: Jewelry Shop. Does hair, lip gloss and eye shadow.
I may have the next Hemingway on my hands. Or an entrepreneur. Or, or, or, the possibilities are endless!
*Don't forget to get entered in the Pampered Chef giveaway! You only have until tomorrow to get entered. I am making the executive decision to end the giveaway a day early on Thursday 12-3 at 7:00 pm. I forgot that we are traveling this weekend and I am not always able to hack into some wi-fi from the grandparent's house. Winner will be announced Thursday night! Good luck!

What is a Swedish style massage?
Swedish massage is proven to lower blood pressure and reduce stress, according to the International Journal of Preventative Medicine, as well as to relieve depression and anxiety and aid in recuperation from chronic illness. Swedish massage is also referred to as classical massage, and — contrary to popular understanding — does not originate from Sweden. There are five main strokes, or movements, that make up a Swedish massage: effleurage, friction, petrissage, tapotement and vibration. Each technique was created to help soothe, stimulate, soften, and rejuvenate muscles and other soft tissue.
During a Swedish style massage, the client will lie on a massage table in a comfortable position — usually facedown to start. Clients can choose to be clothed or nude; if they are nude, the massage therapist will drape them with a cloth so they are never exposed. A Swedish massage typically lasts from 45 to 120 minutes, depending on client need and pricing agreement. During the massage, the therapist typically employs all of the stroke techniques as a way to ease any tension in the body. Swedish massage is one of the most gentle types of massage and is known for being soothing and relaxing.
What is pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage is a therapeutic massage tailored specifically to the needs of a pregnant woman's body. Before having a prenatal massage, always check in with your prenatal care provider and ask if massage therapy will be safe for you and your pregnancy. A pregnancy massage is much more than just an indulgence. The specialized strokes and techniques used to loosen tight muscles, reduce swelling, alleviate pressure, and ease tension provide positive health benefits for both you and your baby. Experts recommend finding a massage therapist who has received additional training on prenatal massage techniques. This is typically a certification above and beyond their standard massage therapy certification and training requirements. During the massage you will likely lie on your side or in a semi-reclined position; these supported poses keep you and the baby comfortable and free from strain or undue pressure. During the massage, the therapist will listen to what body challenges you are experiencing and work to release tension. The massage should be a relaxing and very soothing experience.
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage, also called Thai yoga massage, combines acupressure and assisted yoga postures. Thai massage is based on the flow of energy through the body and focuses on energy lines called "sen." It doesn't use oils or lotions and, instead of rubbing muscles, the massage therapist compresses, pulls, stretches and rocks the recipient's body to promote the flow of energy through these sen. In this form of massage therapy, practitioners use their hands, knees, legs and feet to apply deep muscle compression and stretch the body. It's often performed on a mat on the floor instead of on a massage table. Like most forms of massage, Thai massage is used to relieve stress, improve range of motion and enhance flexibility. Some people also use Thai massage to address a range of health issues, including:
- Relieving tension headaches
- Decreasing back pain
- Reducing joint stiffness and pain
- Stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Boosting energy
Because a traditional Thai massage session covers all of the muscles in your body, it typically lasts 90 minutes to 120 minutes.
What is a deep tissue full body massage?
A deep tissue full body massage is a form of healing bodywork. At your first massage, your massage therapist will do a brief intake. They will ask you questions about the type of pressure you'd like to receive during your deep tissue massage, any previous massage experience you've had, and any injuries or sensitivities you have. You can remain clothed, or the massage therapist will provide draping so that even if you're not wearing clothes you are always fully covered. Deep tissue massage may be a good option for people with chronic pain or muscle tension. The systematic deep tissue strokes will work to break down any scar tissue or stiff tissues and create ease in your body again. Massage therapists use their hands, forearms, fists and knuckles to knead and stroke your muscles and loosen adhesions. Although deep tissue massage work is intense, it should not be painful, so communicate clearly with your massage therapist so they know if you're having any discomfort. The national average cost of a deep tissue massage is between $70 and $90.
What are the different Swedish massage techniques?
There are five main techniques in Swedish massage: effleurage, friction, petrissage, tapotement and vibration. Within each category there are various movements, all intended to ease muscle tension and pain. Each movement has a specific purpose for loosening, warming, soothing or stimulating your muscles during your massage. Here is a breakdown of each of the five Swedish massage techniques:
- Effleurage: Sweeping, gliding, smooth long strokes done with the hands or forearms. These strokes can loosen and warm the body and are said to help stimulate blood flow.
- Friction: These circular or transverse rubbing strokes are also warming and can get deeper into the muscle tissue. They should be avoided on injured or inflamed areas or areas.
- Petrissage: Lifting, kneading, skin rolling, muscle rolling and wringing. These movements help with circulation, which stimulates cell regeneration, and aid in loosening tense muscles.
- Tapotement: Tapping, plucking, cupping and pounding. Tapotement movements can help improve blood circulation and cell rejuvenation, and also relax and release tight muscles.
- Vibration: Rocking, shaking and trembling movements. These motions can help muscles release.

Did Julius Caesar Decimate a Legion?
The Caesar episode recounts the story of the 9th Legions mutiny during the Great Roman Civil War. Some of the men wanted to be discharged but most wanted more pay. The episode shows a stern Caesar order the 9th to be decimated. Decimation was a rarely used form of punishment. Jona Lendering at Livius described this, "After a very serious offense (e.g., mutiny or having panicked), the commander of the commander of a legion would take the decision, and an officer would go to the subunit that was to be punished. By lot, he chose one in ten men for capital punishment. The surviving nine men were ordered to club the man to death. "
The Battle for Rome episode shows the 9th being decimated while a grim faced Caesar looks on. The scene is very powerful as we see a man being beaten to death while another looks on knowing he is next. However, the story is not true. This television show is wrong.
Caesar never ordered that the 9th be decimated. They did indeed mutiny demanding more pay. Caesar went to the soldiers.
Adrian Goldsworthy in Caesar: Life of a Colossus describes what happened, "He (Caesar) then announced that he intended to decimate the Ninth, an ancient punishment that involved selecting by lot one out of every ten men to be beaten to death by his comrades. The remainder of the legion would be dishonourably discharged from the army. The veteran soldiers were dismayed and their officers began to beg their stern commander for mercy. Caesar knew how to work a crowd and gradually gave ground, finally saying that 12o ringleaders would need to draw lots to choose twelve men to be executed. The selection is supposed to have been rigged to ensure the names of the main troublemakers were drawn" (p. 407).
Caesar did not kill hundreds of his soldiers in a decimation punishment. He cleverly put the fear of the gods into the legion by threatening such a punishment before then having the actual guilty individuals put to death. As putting soldiers engaged in mutiny to death is normal even through the 20th century, this is a measured and perhaps appropriate response on Caesar's part.
Compare this with how the French put down mutinies during World War 1. According to The French Army Mutinies of World War I (http://crf-usa.org/bria/bria17_3.htm), "With the support of Petain, officers punished mutinous troops by court-martialing the leaders. When they often couldn't determine the leaders, they sometimes chose known troublemakers, men with civilian criminal records or those who complained a lot. Or they followed Taufflieb's example and selected every 10th or 20th man standing in the ranks." And the French executed many of those found guilty even some that were randomly selected from a mutinious unit.
Why did the Battle of Rome episode get this wrong? Was it poor research on the part of the show writers? Or was it just an attempt to show that Caesar was a stern and brutal commander? Or perhaps this was an attempt to show Caesar in a bad light? Regardless, it is bad history and many viewers are going have an incorrect version of history and Caesar after having watched this show.

Oh foolish historian-
This treatment simply makes better show biz. Documentaries don't get made for free after all, you need to attract an audience and good hook always helps. At the same time, you get to correct a popular fallacy. People abuse 'decimation' as a synonym for being 'nearly wiped out'. Hey, we have a chance to show the world what it really was, while increasing our ratings! Score!
When would a film maker get a chance to stage such a spectacle again and get to teach such a lesson at the same time? Cite them for a minor infraction of their artistic license and let them go on their way.
But the truth does make a better story for the written word. Crafty guy, that Caesar. Thanks for the correction.
I realize quite some time has past since your espial of the Discovery Channel's "documentary" on rome; however, I would still like to extend my sincere gratitude for your efforts. For all of us who still prize dutiful scholarship and the love of truth over the baneful charades of modern media, the aforementioned revelation will always hold value beyond that of any rating, no matter how lucrative it is held among the cretinous. Sincerely,
BMS - Philadelphia, PA

I just happened upon your long-ago post about the Discovery channel's historical inaccuracy while doing a Google search to remind myself which of Caesar' legions mutinied. I agree, it's jarring and ruins the enjoyment of historical presentations when they get the obvious wrong.
I have been watching a series called "Rome" and am thoroughly amazed that it seems to get most everything right, from historical points to the actors' characterizations of major figures. The most glaring misstep was a comment by Caesar that he doesn't mess with priestly things. In fact, Caesar was Pontifex Maximus. The series can be found at http://tvliveshows.com/rome/
The pages with the video files have redirects to some kind of "sign up for Vango" page. If you get the timing just right, you can stop the page from loading before it redirects. Then you can see the video without signing up. Sometimes it takes a few tries. But I recommend the series for folks who take an interest in Caesar's life.
Hi, there are numerous flaws in this program. Firstly, it mentions that Mark Antony had been with Caesar for 10 years, which is wrong, secondly it depicts Marcellus as still being consul when Caesar attacked, but his consulship had ended and another Marcellus was consul with Lentulus Crus. That is just off the top of my head though there were many more. Other things which were distorted for drama were the battle of Alesia, where Labienus had acted surprised when the Gallic relief army showed up when the whole strategy was based on that fact etc. The documentary was entertaining but historically extremely flawed.
Another comment on Caesar in the HBO series Rome, when he indicates that he is only reluctantly putting on a triumph to please the common people. The triumph was the highlight of a Roman general's career and many generals went to great lengths to earn one, sometimes unsuccessfully, such as Marcus Licinius Crassus at Carrhae.

Jacob Wolfowitz's father emigrated to the USA in 1914 and Jacob joined him in 1920 when he was ten years old. Jacob attended High School in New York and, having graduated, entered the College of the City of New York. While Wolfowitz was in the middle of his undergraduate course the Great Depression began.
The Great Depression began in 1929 and by 1932 one quarter of the workers in the United States were unemployed. When Wolfowitz graduated in 1931 there was little prospects of good employment so he spent the next ten years teaching mathematics in a number of different high schools while he worked towards his doctorate. In 1934 Wolfowitz married Lillian Dundes; they had one daughter, born in 1941 and a son Paul, born in 1943. Paul Wolfowitz became the Deputy Secretary of Defense (sic) for the USA in March 2001.
Wolfowitz met Wald in 1938 and they began a collaboration which lasted until Wald's death [2]:-
They were the closest of friends, and Wolfowitz regarded Wald as his teacher as well as his co-worker. Their work together produced some of the most important and striking results in theoretical statistics.In fact the first paper which Wolfowitz wrote was a joint one with Wald. Wolfowitz's earliest interest was nonparametric inference and the joint paper we just mentioned presents ways of calculating confidence intervals which are not necessarily of fixed width, on a distribution function F based on the empiric independent identically distributed observations on F. It is in a paper by Wolfowitz in 1942 that the word 'nonparametric' appears for the first time.
Wolfowitz obtained his doctorate from New York University in 1942 and that year joined the Statistical Research Group at Columbia University. This research group was working on problems related to war work and one of the statistical methods it was working on was sequential analysis. The type of problem that this statistical method applies to is when the number of observations of a variable is not determined before the experiment begins, but rather the number of observations is determined by the observations themselves. Wald and Wolfowitz were both attached to the Statistical Research Group at Columbia and they led the research project to develop a theory for sequential analysis. Wolfowitz produced work on sequential estimators of a Bernoulli parameter, and results on the efficiency of certain sequential estimators. Again he collaborated with Wald on work in this area, and one particular result should be mentioned, namely their proof of the optimal character of the sequential probability ratio test for testing between two hypotheses. This result is described in [2] as:-
... one of the strikingly beautiful results of theoretical statistics.At the end of the war Wolfowitz left the Columbia research group and took up a position as associate professor at University of North Carolina. After spending the year 1945-46 there, he returned to Columbia University. He remained at Columbia until after the death of Wald, then he was appointed professor of mathematics at Cornell in 1951. While on the Faculty at Cornell he was visiting professor at the University of California at Los Angeles in 1952, at the University of Illinois in 1953, Technion in Israel in 1957. In 1967 he was visiting professor at both Technion and the University of Paris, and he spent a period at the University of Heidelberg in 1969. He left Cornell and joined the University of Illinois at Urbana in 1970 , retiring in 1978 when he then went to the University of South Florida at Tampa. In 1979 he was Shannon Lecturer of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
As someone who collaborated with others frequently on research, it is worth hearing the opinions of collaborators who [2]:-
... attest to the stimulating experience of doing joint research with him. In research discussions he is energetic, probing, critical, humorous, and very inventive.We have mentioned Wolfowitz's work on nonparametric inference and his work on sequential analysis. He also studied asymptotic statistical theory, that is the theory of how statistical processes behave in the limit as the sample size gets larger and larger. The properties of consistency and efficiency are important here, the first ensuring convergence and the second relating to the rate of convergence. Wolfowitz looked at many aspects of the maximum likelihood method.
Information theory, which had been started by Shannon, was another area to which Wolfowitz made important contributions. His book Coding Theorems of Information Theory (3rd ed. 1978) is a classic in the subject. It is [2]:-
... the only book which concentrates on statistical and probabilistic aspects of noisy channel communication theory. It is also a handy introductory text because of its brief and simple formulations of problems and estimates. Yet it is comprehensive and at the limits of present research. The completely revised third edition is indispensable for specialists, as the other two editions were before. It contains the core of the ideas of Wolfowitz's papers and of research influenced by him, which already means that the main stream of present research in this theory is covered.We should also mention what a fine teacher Wolfowitz was [2]:-
His lectures reflect his own insistence on understanding the essential features of a proof. "Lets see what makes things tick", his class hear, and his students and audiences at scientific meetings have the privilege of receiving a lively and lucid exposition that enables them to appreciate the crucial ideas of a subject much more than does the customary formal lecture or line by line proof. ... His students ... always found generosity, patience, and the deep personal concern along with helpful criticism.Wolfowitz received many honours for his outstanding contributions to statistics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society, the International Statistics Institute, and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. He was both Rietz Lecturer and Wald Lecturer for this latter Institute. Technion, in Israel, awarded him an honorary degree in 1975.
Finally, a comment on his personality and interests outside mathematics and statistics:-
He is a voracious reader, and his knowledge of, and intense interest in, all facets of the state of the world, make him an interesting person with whom to discuss almost anything.

After a piano intro, a spot opens up a space on the dark stage and in it is the dancer, Thomasin Gülgeç. He is dressed in a purple top. He is revolving, and then begins a series of stretches that segue into a port de bras as he inclines toward the blush of white light. The only lit surfaces on his body are the sinewy ones. He drops to the floor and the spot widens there, still centered on him. With minimal upper body movement, he tucks himself into the folds of the music, Erik Satie's Gnossiennes. Gülgeç is pliant where the notes go hard. Now he is bare-chested in grey pants and wearing a head wrap, a transparent tribute by the British-born Canadian choreographer Russell Maliphant to Nijinsky—minus the madness. Never abandoning his wide stance Gülgeç initiates a series of sweeping circles that brings him from floor level to standing, but no higher. A breath sends him spiraling to a second spot, the place from which he vaults over one arm and then tumbles into an upright position. He pauses and spindles around himself, his arms like gentle flanges of a self-invented self-mechanism. The remaining costume elements disappear as this human motion sensor transforms himself.
The light is contrived and distracting in a subtractive way, but its impact is all consuming, even hypnotic. One is drawn into his process as if a stakeholder, and not just a Saturday night spectator. Then it is over, leaving us a little breathless.
A lit pattern is projected onto the scrim. It resolves into a dappled something from nature. Amidst the dapple, we distinguish two women dancers. They are Silvina Cortés and Gemma Nixon. Now the light suggests cloud cover, and out of it the women emerge doing floor rolls from side to side, then stretches in tandem. The women are unfortunately costumed in what were once referred to as Baby Doll nighties, obscuring the shape and line of their bodies making them look theatrically infantilized. It would be acceptable if the costumes contributed to the dream-like quality of the work, but there is something prosaically Wendy-in-Peter Pan-musical-ish about the nightgowns that actually detracts from the otherwise nebulae-like sensibility. Besides, the audience comes to dance events to see sculpted bodies move. The nighties diminish the experience by half.
Arms circle above heads from side to side in a rhythm where the counts are one tock behind the metronome-like beats of the score. Gülgeç comes downstage to stand between Cortés and Nixon. He rolls off stage right as they move upstage left. They roll from floor to half standing. Gülgeç loop-jumps over himself. The women rise and male/female places are exchanged again. He revolves, and then they, like him, become cylinders. All three come together, fanning and folding into a dense tripartite profile. The screened set becomes an orchard where clouds have delineated themselves into fruit trees.
The time we have spent here seems boundless, as if it too has been spindled and then stretched, never attaining its limit. There is the sense of a continuum of light, music and movement, a tone poem with no pause for equivocation. Just as we begin to feel at home in this un-gated community, Gülgeç withdraws, leaving the women to circle to a vanishing point as the again-dappled pattern fades into nothingness.
The next segment opens to music from a sitar or dulcimer. The lone Gülgeç is lit with a faint spot. He walks downstage to a Chinese-scale melody. The women join him. Cloud projections are caught on his face for an instant. Now Gülgeç, bare-chested, is with just one woman. They explore an imaginary horizon that follows the line of the proscenium. When they bring their arms together, they are half moons along that horizontal.
Each body lights out to probe the atmosphere, then reunites with its other to repeat the patterns of curves and spirals. There are the only two in this universe. They are each other's ultimate complements, but just as they are fully absorbed by their shape making, the other woman enters. After a slow approach leading with shoulders and slow turns, the two women face off in mirror-image profile, and then both turn their heads to the audience. There is an insistent dinging sound, costumes flutter, and the lighting goes more oblique. The faces fade as nighties flounce in a frippy girl game of "I can do this I can do that." The insistent note finds a richer voice, the beneficiary of more ardent orchestration. Spidery globes of light frame the dancers, and the note fades into a single jingle.
The next segment opens with a flute solo. Gülgeç is hardly visible. He stays low and reaches across space, crab like. The clouds are back, and begin to move as the women leave. Gülgeç does dervish-like jumping turns, and ends up wrestling with himself as the pace accelerates. A woman joins him as the music come up syncopated, the flute leading. We see them more clearly as he pulls her to standing and they revolve separately. Light patterns on the floor bypass them like rapids as they struggle to find a place mid-stream. Water and light showcase the couple. The other woman joins them, and though the light is still, the rhythms are more effluent, reliable without being predictable. Gülgeç's new solo strives for mastery over the ecosystem. His spirals go faster and tighter until they are a dance of self-infringement. Then he dips from a small jump into a low bow, like a ladle scooping a thick elixir. The light reveals only the sinews, as the audience, in a reluctant act of collective obedience, awakens from its timeless trance state.
