RIO DE JANEIRO • On a team of mostly first-time young Olympians, it was the veterans Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant who stole the Rio show as the United States won their third straight men's basketball gold.
Anthony on Sunday became the first man to collect three basketball golds, a week after he became the US' all-time Olympics scorer, surpassing National Basketball Association superstar LeBron James.
But Durant, the only other player besides Anthony to return after the 2012 London Games, provided a big assist by unleashing his potent offensive punch to clinch the title.
The newly assembled team they led were occasionally challenged in Rio, raising some doubts about the outcome. But not in the minds of the US players, said Durant.
"We got together on July 17 and we set our minds on winning the gold medal. That was our main focus, Carmelo being the leader and me kind of following up," he said.
Anthony, 32, brought the experience, and Durant, 27, the scoring as the US capped their 2016 Olympic run by mauling Serbia 96-66.
Anthony was on the 2004 team who settled for bronze, a hard-to-swallow result that sparked a re-organisation of the US programme.
"It's really hard to understand it and have a feeling about it when you're going through it," he said of his four Olympic appearances for the US, also a men's record.
"Not until you have some time to yourself, you get a chance to reflect back on this journey starting back in 2004 up until now. I don't think I can explain how I feel right at this moment."
Still a top NBA scoring threat with the New York Knicks, he finished as the US' second-highest scorer at the Games with 12.1 points per game, after Durant's 19.4.
His offence was critical in a group-stage contest against Australia - who had four NBA champion players on their roster and were the first team in Rio to threaten to stage an upset.
But Anthony stepped up with a game-high 30 points against the Australians, including 14 in the fourth quarter to help lock the game down.
He will not go for a fourth gold, however. "As much as I'm going to miss it, it's time to pass it on to some of the guys who were here and some of the younger guys that are coming along," he said.
Durant, who is headed to the Golden State Warriors, scored 30 points on a series of highlight-reel plays on Sunday to ignite the Serbia rout. He admitted that he was trying to be too unselfish in earlier games.
"Coach (Mike Krzyzewski) sat me down and showed me some film of 2010 and he said, 'I want to see that guy again'," Durant said.
"I was trying too hard to sacrifice and make that extra pass, and I was taken away from my game. But coach just told me to be me and I went out there and I did that."
It was Krzyzewski's last game leading the US. The Duke University coach, a five-time National Collegiate Athletic Association title winner, will hand over to San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Krzyzewski praised Anthony and Durant for their long-term commitment to the US team.
"It sets the example for a younger generation in the United States to where now everybody is proud of USA basketball. It's not just how they play, but how they acted and how unselfish they were," he said.

Restore Justice at the Justice Department
May 6, 2009
Hosted by Dr. Valerie Anne Kirkgaard
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Episode Description
A broad coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to an honest and accountable government launched "Restore Justice At Justice," www.RestoreJusticeAtJustice.com, a campaign to clean up the Department of Justice's sad record of political prosecutions under the Bush Administration. These organizations, representing hundreds of thousands of members, have a strong track record of spurring action on crucial issues. The coalition has sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, available on the Restore Justice At Justice website, requesting that he quickly investigate and identify those targeted, and vacate their convictions, beginning with Alabama ex-Governor Don Siegelman and Attorney Paul Minor. The coalition asserts that under the Bush administration, the Department of Justice was driven by ideology, and prosecutions were often used to settle scores and intimidate the opposition. The GOP, at the direction of Karl Rove, used the DOJ to target political enemies including Democratic contributors and those who were a threat to GOP electoral gains and big business interests. The Department was used as an arm of the White House to destroy these Democrats. This political profiling resulted in the criminal prosecution of many on the GOP list, including Don Siegelman and Paul Minor. "Last week, Attorney General Holder ordered the dismissal of charges against Senator Ted Stevens because of prosecutorial misconduct," said coalition spokesperson Brad Friedman,the renowned crusader for electoral reform states: . "Because targeted political prosecutions also constitute prosecutorial misconduct, AG Holder should apply the same standard to Siegelman, Minor, and all the others identified as targeted by the Bush DOJ," said Friedman. "Siegelman and Minor were targets of political profiling, which is as unjust as racial profiling. President Obama and Attorney General Holder promised to return justice to the Justice Department and free the Department from politics. We demand that they do so."

New RFID guidelines for pallets and containers in the supply chain
GS1 EPCglobal released new guidelines providing guidance on how to use RFID technology to identify pallets and containers in the supply chain, according to logisticsmanager.com.
The guidelines advise how best to apply GS1 EPCglobal Gen2 UHF RFID standards to returnable transport items such as pallets, roll cages, returnable plastic containers, tote boxes and ingredients bins.
The Returnable Transport Item Interest Group brought together major manufacturers, retailers, transport providers and solution providers to produce the guidelines, which contains:
- descriptions of multi-party business use cases to understand the need for identification and management of pallets and other returnable items
- requirements that relate to what data is to be captured in the user memory portion of the tag and how it is to be maintained securely
- advice about the placement of tags to optimize accurate data capture.
GS1 EPCglobal also released an implementation guide for conveyance asset tag environmental testing to establish a baseline for testing passive Gen2 UHF RFID tags to meet the rigours of transport. It also provides guidelines for the placement and encoding of RFID CAT tags for the tracking of assets such as sea containers, dry vans, air freight containers, rail cars and intermodal containers.

She was pregnant and terribly itchy. Something was going very wrong.
Ashley Sicher had an invisible itch. It had begun in early spring 2017, in the third trimester of her first pregnancy. During the day, the itch was noticeable, but concentrated on her palms and feet. At night, the itch became unbearable, spreading up her arms and torso. She furiously scratched at the subterranean itch with the bristles of a hairbrush, until she broke the skin.
Sicher had no rash, and her obstetrician at the time assured her that itching was a normal symptom of pregnancy. Yet this didn't feel like a normal itch. It was a penetrating, psychologically infuriating itch.
"It's like you're being burned under your skin," Sicher said, "with bee stings on top."
Early one morning, 34 weeks pregnant and at a breaking point from scratching all night, she Googled her symptoms. What she found changed everything. She woke her husband, in tears.
"The baby's going to die," she said.
What Sicher had found was a blog called "Pregnant Chicken." Under an archive about "scary" stuff, an article warned readers about a pregnancy-related disease that was characterized by itchy hands and feet. But what caught Sicher's eye and incited panic was the part that said "can be devastating for the baby," listing outcomes of fetal distress, preterm labor - and stillbirth.
Sicher was experiencing symptoms of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder that affects the liver of a pregnant woman, stopping it from properly processing bile, which is needed for digestion. In addition to unbearable itching, ICP can cause a toxic environment in the womb that can be dangerous to the growing baby.
The cause of ICP is unknown, although there may be a genetic component in some cases. The condition occurs in about 1 percent of pregnancies, according to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center of the National Institutes of Health. The risk appears to be higher among Latinas and women of Scandinavian descent. For women who have experienced ICP in one pregnancy, the risk of having it again in subsequent pregnancies is 50 to 60 percent, according to the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine.
Because the symptoms of the condition are unremarkable - itching - many patients do not get tested or treated, which usually includes carefully monitoring the baby, use of a drug that can reduce the flow of harmful bile acids across the placenta, and early delivery.
As a result, about 15 of every 1,000 untreated ICP pregnancies end in stillbirth, said Jonathan Mays, director of obstetrics and maternal fetal-medicine at New York Metropolitan Hospital Center and an associate professor at New York Medical College. He has compiled the largest database in the country of about 500 patients with ICP.
These stillbirth numbers are "higher than anything we see in OB," Mays said.
"There's a real deficit in education" about ICP, said Jordan Perlow, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine's Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
"ICP just doesn't seem to be on the radar," Perlow said. 'This is something you just don't see spoken about at medical conferences."
As a result, "there is no (clear) standard of care for ICP," said Donna Benavides, founder of ICP Care, a nonprofit organization that provides patient resources and raises funding for research on the disease. Benavides started the group after losing her first child to the disease 16 years ago, two days before her scheduled labor induction.
Christian Pettker, chief of obstetrics at Yale New Haven Hospital, said ICP is not routinely screened for at medical facilities. But, "the general consensus is that if someone has itching without a rash in the second or third trimesters that is not explainable by any other issues, (their) bile acids should be sent" for laboratory analysis.
ICP is diagnosed through two blood tests - a liver function test, which is quick but less diagnostic in this case, and bile acid level test, which is more definitive but can take 10 days to produce results, during which time the risk to the baby can increase.
The night Sicher learned she was having symptoms of ICP, she called her obstetrician, and they met at the hospital, where she showed him the frightening article she had found on the internet. Sicher said he didn't seem familiar with ICP, but admitted her for fetal monitoring.
The baby continued to be monitored for movement and heart rate until Sicher's bile acid test confirmed that she did have ICP. She was then sent home with a prescription of ursodeoxycholic acid to improve the flow of bile acids and decrease itching. Doctors also said they would induce her baby at 37 weeks, since after that point the possibility of stillbirth increased dramatically for women with ICP, probably because of the normal deterioration of the placenta, which acts as a filter for harmful toxins. Some doctors even push to induce at 36 weeks in ICP cases, although this can increase the risk of prematurity issues.
Four days after Sicher left the hospital, though, at 36 weeks, the baby failed a nonstress test that measures the response of the fetal heart rate to movement. Her obstetrician had her eat candy and drink cold water, which often cause a baby to kick and move around.
"They kept coming in, looking at the monitor and going back out," Sicher said. "She just wasn't moving."
Sicher was immediately induced. The baby, Adaline Sicher, was admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit for jaundice, but otherwise had no complications. After about a week, Sicher and the baby went home.
Sicher's itching subsided shortly after her delivery.
Benavides said she is hoping to increase awareness of ICP so that more mothers like Sicher go home with healthy babies.
ICP, she said, falls through the cracks because a diagnosis relies on one often elusive symptom: itchiness. And many doctors get desensitized to pregnant women worried about one seemingly minor symptom or another, she pointed out.
The organization is trying to get obstetricians to routinely screen for itching, Benavides said. With active management of ICP and early delivery, she said, the risk of stillbirth goes down to the same as a healthy pregnancy, about 1 percent.

Crawley MP Henry Smith has congratulated local school pupils who drew the winning designs in his Christmas card competition for 2018, and has presented certificates to each of the winners and runners-up.
This year's competition was won by Chloe, who is in Year 3, whose decorative reindeer will be on the front of Henry's Christmas card.
Three additional designs are also featured inside the card. These were drawn by Genni, in Year 1; Felicity, in Year 2; and Teddie, in Year 3.
Henry said;
"Congratulations and huge thanks to Chloe for designing my 2018 Christmas card! There were many bright and festive designs, and I was delighted to choose this image to adorn my Christmas card this year.
"I'm also grateful to Genni, Felicity and Teddie for their worthy contributions, and indeed to each pupil and school which took the time to take part.
"It's always tough to make a decision from so many brilliant entries – once again the standard was incredibly high!
"I look forward to welcoming Chloe, Genni, Felicity, Teddie and their families to Westminster in the new year for a personal Houses of Parliament tour.

Just a heads up that Disney changed the close at Hollywood Studios on Saturday October 24th from 7pm to 6pm and canceled the Fantasmic. Previously, the Studios was not recommended. It may change to "tentatively recommended" so long as you're able to arrive by 7:25am to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hour. Daytime crowds should be relatively minimal with few people park hopping over in the afternoon and evening with no evening entertainment to keep them around and a very early close. Still, most people will want to stick with a day that was previously recommended higher.

Install Selenium Webdriver with Eclipse and Java
To use Selenium WebDriver with Java JUnit or TestNG, you need to install a Java Development IDE. There are many options available like : Eclipse and IntellJ. Here I explain how to download and install Selenium WebDriver with Eclipse and Java step by step.
Step 1: download and install Java in your system.
You need to install JDK (Java development kit) in your system. Java may have been installed on your system. Refer to the article "Test Java for Selenium WebDriver" for more information.
Step 2: download and install Eclipse
download Eclipse for Java developers, extract the zip file, and save it in any drive. Download URL is : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php
Please remember that depending on the 32 or 64 bit on your PC, you need to install related package.
Step 3: download WebDriver Java Client driver.
Selenium WebDriver supports many languages and each language has its own client driver. Since we are using Java with Eclipse, we need to download "webdriver Java client". Click this link to go to the download page (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/). On the page, click on "Download" link of Java client driver as shown in the image below.
Downloaded 'webDriver Java client driver' will be in zip format. Extract and save it in your system at path C:\selenium-2.39.0. There will be 'libs' folder, 2 jar files and change log in unzipped folder as shown in the image below. We will use all these files for configuring webdriver in eclipse.
Step 4: Start Eclipse and configure it with Selenium WebDriver
Navigate to the folder where you upzipped the Eclipse package. Double click on 'eclipse.exe' to start eclipse. First time when you start eclipse, it will ask you to select your workspace where your work will be stored as shown in bellow image. By default, Eclipse will create a workspace folder under "My Documents". You can use default folder or create a new folder like "TestAutomationWorkspace" and select it as your workspace. You can change it later on from 'Switch Workspace' under 'file' menu of eclipse. If you prefer this folder as your default workspace, check the option "Use this as the default and do not ask again".
After selecting workspace folder, Eclipse will be open. Now you can create a new Java test project.
Step 5: Create a new Project
Let's create a test project for testing Selenium Master Login module. Open Eclipse, open File menu, click on New and then select "Java Project". In the Project name , enter "SeleniumMasterLoginModuleTest" and click on the Finish button.
Now, your new created project "SeleniumMasterLoginModuleTest" will display in eclipse project explorer as shown on the image below.
Create a new package
Expand the "SeleniumMasterLoginModuleTest" project , and Right click on the src folder and select select New > Package.
Enter "com.seleniummaster.loginmodule" as package name.
Create a new JUnit Class
Right click on package 'com.seleniummaster.loginmodule' and select New > JUnit Test Case and set class name = 'LoginTest' and click on Finish button. It will add new JUnit test class 'LoginTest' under package 'com.seleniummaster.loginmodule'. Eclipse will prompt to add JUnit4 on the build path. Click OK.
Now your project window will look like this image below.
Add external Selenium jar files to java build path
- Right click on the project "SeleniumMasterLoginModuleTest" and then select "Build Path" in the menu, and then click on "Configure Build Path".
- In the Java Build Path window, Navigate to Libraries tab. click on "Add External JARS" button > select both .jar files from C:\Selenium2.39.0 folder.
- Click on "Add External JARS" button > select all .jar files from C:\Selenium2.39.0\libs folder. (This step is optional, Eclipse normally includes common used Java Jar files.
Now your SeleniumMasterLoginModule's properties dialogue will looks like bellow.
That's all about configuration of WebDriver with eclipse. Now you are ready to write your test in eclipse and run it in WebDriver.

The level of dumbness these days has been too damn high. You just can't imagine how dumb people are these days.

Yes, believe it or not, people do such silly things and they think they are smart enough to make a fool of other people.
Today, we will show some of the funny pictures that will make you facepalm really hard. All you can do after seeing these pictures is facepalm yourself. From watering plants on a rainy day to giving a self-review, these people will definitely make you smile. Let's have a look at some of these facepalm fails.
1. The Car insurance lady asked this woman to send front, rear and side views pics.
2. Looking at this status, we can figure out who is being stupid here.
3. The reason they say half knowledge is dangerous.
4. Only if this person understands what he's talking about.
5. After reading this question, all you can do is facepalm hard.
6. This lady thinks that 1/3 is less than 1/4. Only God can save her now.
7. That's not the way you stop the train. Lesson learnt.
8. Apparently, we learnt that Ginger is not that smart.
9. The level of dumbness is too damn high for this kid.
10. Recently, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko was clicked when he was watering plants in the rain.

About Cruizin Driving School
Cruizin Driving School is one of the best driving school in Tewantin offering cheap driving lessons with professional and experienced driving instructors.
I have been a driving instructor for more than 15 years and I own and run my own driving school. There are no hired instructors and I train everyone personally. While a lot of driving schools spend time driving from A to B, I strive hard to help you learn how to drive correctly and safely. Once you learn the basic driving skills, you should be able to pass your test on the first go.
Most of my work comes from referrals and recommendations, which clearly states the quality of training that each of my students get. Unlike many other driving schools, I do not claim to have a '100% pass rate' and I doubt such claims. We all are different and so are our capabilities. I have seen people who require 3-5 classes and I have also trained people who are too nervous to even hold the steering wheel firmly. I will do my best to help you pass your test as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Many driving schools offer cheap driving lessons and generally speaking, cheap indicates low quality. You may not be treated respectfully and your questions may be left unanswered.
The best part about Cruizin Driving School you can opt for one lesson, three lessons, five lessons, or for as many lessons as you want.
Your safety is my priority and all my vehicles are equipped with dual controls. If you lose control, I can override with my controls.
We have both manual and automatic vehicles. I strive hard to keep my lessons flexible so that you can comfortably accommodate them in your routine.
Give me a call on 0438 702 522, to schedule your lesson.

ĀĀĀĀ In the not-too-distant future of 2011, a virus eliminates 99% of the earth's population. The final 1% are saved by a vaccine devised by scientist Trevor Goodchild (Marton Csokas), but the cure has a drawback and humankind is forced into the confines of a huge walled city, named Bregna. The Goodchild regime governs over the city for four hundred years, maintaining a utopian order and calm. But, while it might seem harmonious on the surface, Bregna's inhabitants are ill at ease. Many people begin experiencing bad dreams and bizarre visions. Coupled with the unexplained disappearances of scores of civilians it becomes apparent that something is not quite right. A rebellion forms to overthrow the Goodchild government, dubbed the Monicans, who are embodied by an elite assassin named Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron).
ĀĀĀ When her sister is assassinated by the regime, Aeon is left with nothing to live for except the cause. Finally an avenue is found that will lead Aeon to Goodchild, a mission that promises vengeance and requires her to penetrate the government fortress in the tightly guarded non-civilian zone. It quickly becomes apparent that Aeon and Goodchild share some kind of past, but what is its nature, and can Goodchild be trusted?
ĀĀĀ Aeon Flux is great entertainment, packed with dazzling special effects and superb action. The concept began as an animated series for MTV in the 1990s, created by Peter Chung. Charlize Theron is amazing in this very physical role, with a subdued performance that matches the atmosphere of the film. Director Karyn Kusama has loosely captured the essence of the animated original and created an engaging, if slightly flawed vision of humanity on the brink of crisis. As a film, it feels rather condensed and many elements of the story are only skimmed over, or not explored at all. Plot inconsistencies aside, this is an intelligent, unique and entertaining love story that deserves a look.
ĀĀĀ The video transfer is presented in the film's original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, complete with 16x9 enhancement.
ĀĀĀ There is a fair degree of sharp detail present, provided there is minimal motion on screen. The detail level is betrayed by a low MPEG bitrate, explained further below. Otherwise, the transfer has a nice depth to it with deep black levels and realistic shadow detail.
ĀĀĀ Colours are faithfully rendered throughout - in fact, I didn't detect any inconsistencies in the slightest. Skin tones appear spot on and I didn't notice any unsightly bleeding or oversaturation.
ĀĀĀ As I noted above, MPEG compression is an issue with this transfer. At 5:17 the detailed texture of a stone wall in the background is riddled with MPEG grain, while macro blocking can be seen in cherry trees during the fast motion at 74:00. There are absolutely no film artefacts present, however a moderate amount of edge enhancement has been applied. Edge halos can be seen during many scenes in the film, however the most obvious to my eyes was a dark scene at 45:50, around Charlize Theron's face. I'll be very interested to assess this film's transfer on Blu-Ray when it is released.
ĀĀĀ English subtitles are available in standard and Hearing Impaired forms and seem to follow the dialogue closely. The fonts are bold and easy to read.
ĀĀĀ This disc is dual layered, with a layer transition placed during the feature at 57:07. The layer break was transparent on my system.
|Shadow Detail
|Film-To-Video Artefacts
|Film Artefacts
ĀĀĀ There are three soundtracks available, two of which are Audio Commentaries accessible via the Special Features menu. The default soundtrack is English Dolby Digital 5.1 (448Kb/s). Compared to the video transfer, this audio soundtrack is stellar.
ĀĀĀ The English dialogue is clear, easy to understand and never overpowered by effects or score. The ADR is absolutely seamless. I didn't notice any audio sync issues in the slightest.
ĀĀĀ The surround channels are consistently active with assorted effects, gunfire, atmospherics and musical score. During the film's opening a fly is heard circling the viewer. I processed this soundtrack with my rear centre speaker active (via EX processing) and noticed that as the fly passes behind the viewer the centre rear kicks in as well, creating a superb, enveloping effect. Bursts of the soundtrack score can also be heard from the rear channels on occasion, as well as directional effects such as gunfire and explosions. Voices are generally confined to the front centre channel and rarely stray. This is a very well produced audio mix that fits the atmosphere of the film like a glove.
ĀĀĀ The score by Graeme Revell is a little subdued, but picks up the pace when it is most needed. I certainly wouldn't say it's one of the most memorable scores I have heard, however it does match the feel of the film well.
ĀĀĀ The LFE channel is utilised tastefully to add bottom end to many dedicated effects, such as explosions and the like. Even the score is given a subtle boost by the subwoofer at times.
|Audio Sync
|Surround Channel Use
ĀĀĀ The ladies share a few stories from the film's production and reveal some of the hurdles they encountered, such as Charlize's serious injury early in the production. There are some lengthy pauses in the commentary and a fair amount of the information is duplicated in the featurettes. Both commentaries are available with English subtitles.
ĀĀĀ Phil and Matt are an easy pair to listen to and they share quite a bit of interesting information about the production and screenwriting process. The guys often point out scenes that have been condensed or removed altogether, usually by the studio for pacing reasons.
ĀĀĀ Director Karyn Kusama, Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung and Screenwriters Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi discuss their intentions with the film, their roles in the production and how it compares to the original animated series. We are also given brief interviews with assorted cast and crew and some footage captured on set.
ĀĀĀ This short featurette looks at many of the amazing architectural structures in and around Berlin, Germany that feature in the film. A little of their history is also explained, as well as some clips from the final film for reference.
ĀĀĀ After completing Monster and losing the considerable body weight she had accumulated for that role, Charlize had not attempted strenuous physical activity for nearly two years. For Aeon Flux she embarked on an intensive training regime of gymnastics and martial arts in order to prepare herself for the physicality of the role. With the help of the stunt coordinator, Charlize completed 95% of her stunts on her own - an amazing feat.
ĀĀĀ The costume designers discuss their approach, the extent of their involvement in the production and what inspired the overall appearance of the film's wardrobe. Some featured costumes are given special attention, with clips from the film provided.
ĀĀĀ Jasin Boland explains his role as a still photographer and talks us through the variety of lenses he carries around. There are some beautiful images displayed here, all captured during the film's production.
ĀĀĀ A fairly stock standard trailer, however there are a few shots not present in the final film.
NOTE: To view non-R4 releases, your equipment needs to be multi-zone compatible and usually also NTSC compatible.
ĀĀĀĀAs an aside note, some Australian retaillers are selling this title packaged with an additional disc that includes the featurette The Effects Of Aeon Flux. This may be exclusive to some particular stores.
ĀĀĀ The video transfer isn't the greatest, which is disappointing for such a recent production.
ĀĀĀ The audio transfer is fantastic.
ĀĀĀ The extras are worthwhile viewing.

text: I actually read BLOODY TIMES: THE FUNERAL OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE MANHUNT FOR JEFFERSON DAVIS, which is the "special adaptation for young people" published by Scholastic. I learned so many things! For one, I didn't know that the South had a president during the Civil War, Jefferson Davis. I felt so ignorant when I announced that fact to my husband while he was driving and I was reading. He, a history buff, couldn't believe I didn't know that. There were a lot of details about Lincoln's funeral train that were fascinating, and seeing the images of his Springfield house and tomb bring back memories from my many years chaperoning 7th graders on a field trip to visit. It made me see those places in a different light after seeing the vintage photographs of each place decorated for his memorial. Fascinating!

Now I apparently have to water it twice a day for a month or so.
That means I'll probably have to wake up even earlier than I already do in the mornings so it gets watered before I leave for work. Needy little plants.
It had better grow all lush and thick as a thank-you for my efforts.
If not, I suppose I could just have it paved.

this is well written and deserves a read.
This paragraph sums up the article quite nicely:
There was drama-queen self-exultation in the de facto epitaph Gill posted on his blog: "Lived fast died young. Left a mangled corpse.''
The line is hardly original Gill lacked originality, especially in the copycat violence with which he left this world. The couplet comes from a '93 movie, True Romance, written by Quentin Tarantino, and is spoken by a character in admiring reference to Elvis Presley, specifically the rebel he depicted as Hollywood-processed in Jailhouse Rock. Elvis is about as far from Goth culture as you can get, so it's doubtful Gill even knew the backstory. He was an idiot.
And now on the topic of home ownership...
I've had my house now for nearly a month. In that time, I've wrecked a shower, broken the washing machine, and set a bathroom on fire.
All good fun on the road to home improvement.
Here's hoping my future improvements are somewhat less destructive.

They were talking about his blog and how he liked to take pictures of himself with guns and loved that rediculous video game about the Columbine murders.
I'm sure that from that, the media will gather that video games make people kill people... again. No news there.
It makes me wonder though... if some day something terrible happened and it got pinned on me... would people read this blog and determine that I'm some anti-social misfit clearly destined for some sort of self-imposed tragedy?
I'm actually a nice guy in person. It's everyone else that's fucked in the head.

Do we all like compact cars because we take pride in our environmental responsibility... or are we just overtaxed and overcharged to the point where we just can't afford the nicer cars that the average American can put in their driveway?
If I were an American, I could get a Subaru Impreza WRX STI with all the options I want for $34,480.
If I convert that generously to Canadian dollars, it would be $38,617.
Now if I go price the same car on the Canadian Subaru site, it comes to $51,038. WTF? Why am I paying an extra $12k just because I live on this side of the border?
This holds true for pretty much every car on the market.
So basically, I'm gettiong a car worth thousands of dollars less than what I'm paying. Thanks big car corporations for bending me over and sticking it to me. I appreciate it. Really.

Now I'm going to start paying property taxes. A whole new tax for me to watch get misappropriated.
Can you believe I only get my garbage picked up every other week? Yet city councellors get free bus passes... go figure!

I have posted a new R data animation video. It's an example animation of modeled historical and projected global temperature change from 1850 - 2100. The data prep, analysis, full processing and generation of all sets of still frames for each layer in the video are done using R.
Typically an ensemble of models would be used but this video is just to demonstrate a basic animation using one climate model, both with a monthly time series and a monthly 10-year moving average time series. If wondering about the y-axis range, the animation shows anomalies, or delta change, from the climate model's historical baseline monthly average temperatures using a given climatology window.
In a later video I will use annual and seasonal averages, which will display a smoother signal than monthly series.

Student travel tours are a wonderful way for students to see the world they are living in and gain perspective on life before adulthood.
The experience depends on the destination for your student travel tours. Having the right destination can take some thought and research, but it will be worth it in the end. If you have the wrong destination, it will be miserable and wasted for everyone going. These are 5 tips for setting up your student travel tours to the right destination.
- Take the students opinion into account. If the group of student traveling isn't looking to volunteer then a service learning destination would not be good. Students should go on a guided tour if they want to explore it. Take your time and find the perfect program for the general goal of the trip.
When it comes to student travel tours, make sure that your bus company has the right certificates and operating authority. Click here to see what to look for.
- Think about the weather. If you're choosing to go somewhere already freezing like Wisconsin in the winter, that may not be a fun trip. If an area is prone to natural disasters during a specific time of year, like hurricane season, consider a different time for a trip to Florida.
- Consider the budget for student travel tours. Picking a destination that is really expensive may be out of budget for many students leaving the trip really small, which can be less fun. The trip, as well as the attractions and cost of living, should be within an affordable range for students. Be prepared to help some students budget their finances to determine if they can go as well. Finances are a new thing for many students and they may need a little help figuring it out.
- If the student travel tours for the students to get experience volunteering ask many organizations and do some research to find where the most need is. Who knows, it may even be close to home or helping with hurricane or tornado relief. Be sure to prepare the students for what they will be seeing and doing so that if it seems like too much, the students can back out before it's too late. Nothing brings down morale, like someone wishing to not be there.
- Finally choose a destination with the total opposite weather than where you're leaving from. So if you're from Ohio and used to snow, plan a trip to Florida to soak up the sun or if you are from Texas, choose to explore Yellowstone in Wyoming. Experiencing new weather is refreshing and will reset the students for the rest of the semester.
Now that you know these tips for picking the destination for student travel tours, plan yours today!

Great article, anyone who lives in Thanet is very well qualified to write about winds; northerlies, southerlies, easterlies (far too often) and sometimes, when we are lucky, westerlies. I have tried every wind resistant plant going and, generally speaking, they aren't with the notable exception of Salvia Amistad which was stripped of every leaf in the last gale but still stands defiantly upright clinging to its flowers. The only thing is to keep going, after the great storm of '87 my mother's elderly gardener came to work as usual (nobody else seemed to get anywhere that day) and surrounded by a sea of fallen trees was carefully picking up some twigs saying he "would make a start". As for the Chelsea chop; the wind does that three or four times a year without me joining in too!
When The Wind BlowsBy
I am not a cold person, temperature or temperament wise, but when the wind blows from the north, as it did this weekend, I want to be indoors, with a jumper on and a fire blazing. A penetrating wind blew down from the Arctic on Sunday morning, building to a crescendo by evening. Sitting in my basement 'snug' after dinner, the sound emitting from my wood burner sounded like someone attempting to land an A380 on the roof. Rather than showing any concern for the safety of my property, it was out into the garden that I ventured, to see what havoc was being wreaked there. Although the scene was not one of devastation, plants that had remained successfully upright all year were flattened, whilst others had been completely defoliated. The degree of wind-chill, which is effectively the temperature it feels like on the skin, rather than the actual air temperature, was close to freezing. An airborne washing up bowl from next door's garden almost took a pane of glass out of the greenhouse before landing on my roof.
Wind – and I am talking storms and gales here, not evidently destructive hurricanes – can be one of the most deleterious elements in the garden. Wind cannot be seen and is very difficult to predict and guard against. It may not cause you a problem for months or years, but one day it will come at you from an unexpected direction, causing disproportionate, heartbreaking damage. The same strength of wind in summer may have a very different effect to that in winter. When trees are in full leaf they will filter wind to a degree, but act like giant sails when the wind speed increases. The force exerted by wind rises dramatically as its speed accelerates. More than once I have found myself wrestling with a sopping-wet tree that's been blown from its stake in a gale, and it's not amusing. In the winter, deciduous trees are less vulnerable, but shallow-rooted evergreens such as conifers are especially prone to being blown over. Areas of the garden that are well protected in summer may be exposed in winter, which is certainly the case in my own garden.
Changes as seemingly small as the removal of a large shrub or the erection of a fence may completely alter the air flow in your garden, channeling it, dispersing it, creating eddies or areas of shelter. Bigger alterations, such as house extensions on your own or a neighbour's plot, can have a profound effect. Understanding the adverse impacts wind can have on your garden, and putting in place measures to mitigate them, is as important as knowing your soil type, aspect and rainfall levels. If you have a new garden, this generally involves living with it for a while, observing how degrees of light, shade, moisture and wind vary each season, before deciding what to plant where.
One could write a book on creating shelter from the wind, as anyone who' has attempted to do it will confirm. It is most assuredly not about putting up a solid fence or growing an impenetrable hedge, both of which can do more harm than good. The most effective windbreaks are formed from multiple pervious layers, be they living or manufactured, which disrupt the force and slow the flow of air passing through them, rather than blocking it altogether. My grandmother's garden on the north coast of Cornwall had nothing between it and the sea before banks of euonymus, sycamore and pine were planted, their 'legs' disguised by a decorative inner fringe of hydrangea. These four companions, in a shelter belt several metres deep, were enough to diffuse the wind across the width of the plot.
Solid barriers such as walls and fences tend to force wind over and around them, creating powerful, destructive eddies. I have an area in my garden, behind the garage that appears to be beautifully sheltered, but which bares the brunt of any wind coming from the south. The air swirls around behind the garage wall like a whirling dervish, toppling anything in its path.
Wind also has a desiccating effect, especially when the air is dry and cold, as is often the case when it blows from the north or east. Transpiration and evaporation of water from the leaf surface is increased by wind, which in turn cools the plant as well as dehydrating it. This negates any positive impact a mild climate might have. This is why, if one wishes to grow tender plants by the coast, one needs shelter as well as warmth. Many plants that thrive at the coast have thick, waxy or heavily-felted leaves, or else fine, willowy leaves that let the air pass through quickly, thus minimising water loss from the leaf surface.
When combined with airborne salt or sand, the effect of wind is tantamount to taking sandpaper to your beloved plants, which no sane person would do. The reason why trees and shrubs growing on cliffs in exposed locations appear to be straining away from the sea is that the sand in the air is destroying the buds on the seaward side, whilst those in the lee are protected and can grow. The resulting silhouette may be dramatic, but the plant is being tortured. Salt in the air is responsible for premature browning of foliage, followed by leaf loss. In my grandmother's garden the sycamores would typically be stripped of their leaves by mid September.
If you live somewhere very exposed, the best approach is to grow plants that have adapted themselves to the prevailing conditions. In practice, few of us are content to do so, and so we create shelter, prune and stake our precious plants to protects them against wind damage. Clever companion planting can create self-supporting plant communities, and many modern varieties have been bred to make sturdier and more compact plants. Deploying the Chelsea Chop in late May is a good way of cultivating more wind resistent perennials.
My parting advice is never to underestimate the power of the wind. It's a force far more powerful and unpredictable than extreme cold or heat, in this country at least, and far harder to guard against. Global warming means that freak weather events, including wild and wet winter storms, will become increasingly frequent across the British Isles. Those gardeners who seek to tame the wind do so head on, and live in the knowledge that they're only one brutal gust away from horticultural Armageddon. TFG.

History of Tamarack Lodge
A history that dates back to the 1700's
A history that dates back to the 1700's
Once hosting a secret party for the cast of The Sopranos to avoid Paparazzi, Tamarack Lodge is a hidden gem dating back to the 1700's. The 28 acres of land have been home to various businesses including a blacksmith shop, a water-powered wagon wheel mill, a tree farm and then a popular vacation resort in the 1940's that attracted vacationers from New York and Boston looking for a retreat from the city hussle and bussle. Industrial gears are still visible in the main buildings' ceilings and what were once large chicken coops turned into cabins.
The ancestry of the original owners Carl and Ellen Anderson date back to Sweden which influenced Scandinavian culture at the resort from music, dance and food. As the resort grew more popular, an inground pool and a sauna were added to the property in the 1960's.
In 2003, the Andersons' sold Tamarack Lodge to a private buyer who held ownership for about ten years. Closed in 2013, a couple contracts fell through and even the Longos' considered purchasing it but thought it priced too high. The property was vacant for five years until in 2017 the Longos' received a call saying the property was back on the market. They felt it was fate and' purchased the abandoned property with a vision of restoring Tamarack to its former glory!
During the beginning stages of renovations and cleaning up the forest, the Longos' have come across a cemetary dating back to the 1800's, over 1,000 pieces of Italian marble table tops, lovers names carved into trees and hiking trails. The restaurant and tavern were open Thursday through Sunday with regular entertainment including popular, local band Flatrock and SyFy Networks celebrity Ghost Hunter Stephen Gonsalves hosting a ghost stories in the cemetery.
15min from Norwich | 25min from New London | 45min from Glastonbury | 60min from Hartford | 45min from Rhode Island | 3hrs from NYC

To the Editor:
The contribution by Troldborg, et al1 is a valuable addition to our understanding of disease, addressing half the question. Serine proteases do not function in isolation, but are also part of an enzyme-inhibitor interaction2. Noting higher enzyme concentrations in their cross-sectional study of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus1, direct correlation with nephritis and titers of anti-dsDNA, and inverse correlation with complement C3, the authors have demonstrated that serine protease levels appear to be markers of disease activity. It may also be worthwhile to assess whether their results reflect disease activity or alteration by the medications used in its treatment, as has been demonstrated for the major serine protease inhibitors, α-1-antitrypsin, α-2-macroglobulin, and antithrombin III2,3,4,5,6. Their implication of a pathophysiologic involvement is an interesting speculation, especially if a moderating component is considered.
Serine protease inhibitor levels are also proportionate to disease activity7: We and others reported levels proportionate to α-1-antitrypsin directly, and α-2-macroglobulin and antithrombin III inversely7,8. Serine protease inhibitors also have a significant immune modulation effect7, but it is unclear if this effect is related to the native molecule or to the complex it forms with serine proteases2,9,10. In a relationship analysis of the levels, both components and their combination seem to be a fruitful area for future investigation.

40 Photos That Will Make You Want To Explore Iceland's Ring Road
I just returned from an epic vacation to one of the most beautiful countries I've ever visited. Over the last two weeks, Julia, Owen, and I drove nearly 3000km on a road trip around Iceland. We covered the entire Ring Road and also traversed many side roads as we made our way around the island. I will be sharing our daily activities and a full guide to the Ring Road in the weeks ahead. For now, here are my favorite 40 photos that I hope will make you want to drive the Ring Road!

Of course, any valid explanation must include the Snow Demons.
That is not in itself terribly edifying, but a little link-clicking did lead me to something I hadn't seen explained before, seasonal lag (or, why is summer hottest in August and winter coldest in January?).
... Fixed per Ugh, which is the old Sumerian word for "nitpicker."
I think much of the problem is that kids dutifully learn that the earth's orbit is an ellipse, and see pictures like this one -
- and, reasonably enough, suppose that such an eccentric orbit must make a difference in the seasons. Alas and thankfully, the Earth's orbit is about 0.0167, i.e., almost a circle.

Distance from the Sun does cause winter, just not for the earth as a whole. No? Is not the Northern Hemisphere farther from the sun in January than July?ReplyDelete
Of course, reading the comments at MoJo, it's apparently the angle of the earth's tilt, as opposed to the resulting distance, that makes the seasons.ReplyDelete
But, more importantly, how did you know I was Sumerian? Oh, the name, right. :-)
Oh, I thought you were homing in on the fact (?) that, being tilted away from the Sun, the winter hemisphere is "farther away" from the Sun. At least, it's less exposed.ReplyDelete
Oh I was, but apparently it's the amount of energy absorbed from the sun that makes the seasons, and not that whatever hemisphere is tilted away from the sun is farther away at that point in time. I.e., if the N. Hemisphere is tilted away, it's absorbing less energy, and thus cooling, and the reverse when it's tilted forward.ReplyDelete
This apparently makes a big difference in terms of % of energy absorbed, whereas the change in distance is minuscule.
Oh, well you were completely wrong then! ;)ReplyDelete
I had thought it was the angle at which the rays hit -- more direct in summer, less in winter -- but now I have actual work to do and can't run that down.
