The Eccentric Position (2012)
[THIS space is reserved for a new essay explaining the origins of the old one... and asking forgiveness for the old one's flippant tone.]
The American Monarchist (1984)
We are not all Republicans now. The American civil war of 1775-1781 did not abolish human nature, particularly the imaginative faculty of the mass mind which invests a mere human family with the charismatic attraction of a dynasty. Thus, at its worst, the American public exalts a tribe of ambitious bootleggers, the Kennedys, to quasi-royal status. At its best, it finds a genuine royal family, the British, irresistible. First Lady Betty Ford naïvely manifested a typically American attitude when she unintentionally slighted some other nation's sovereign by referring, before the press, to HM Elizabeth II as 'the real queen.' By its Windsorite fervor, of course, America not only reveals its psychological need for a monarchy but also bows to the nation that is the source of its heritage.
Yet, in addition to this phenomenon of unconscious monarchism, there is also a conscious sort. Avowed American monarchists comprise a small élite; they are more or less serious, more or less alienated, sometimes British loyalists by descent or by sentiment, more often champions of all dynasties, though with a legitimist bias—Jacobites, blancs d'Espagne, Carlists. Apparent strangers in their own land, it is a bit difficult for them to find something to do on the Fourth of July, that principal feast of the American civil religion; obligingly, however, many American orchestras, ensconced in their outdoor summer havens, will play 'Wellington's Victory' or the '1812 Overture' on that day, hoping to make sufficient noise to exorcise evil spirits—a more intelligible superstition than the superstition of democracy. Few besides the American monarchist will be conscious of the composers' intent to celebrate the triumph of monarchy.
The manifestations of America's founding myth irritate but do not intimidate its indigenous royalists; the inner contradictions of that myth emotionally repatriate them. The constitution which virtually froze the eighteenth-century British system in the form of an elective monarchy (which faces a quadrennial crisis of dynastic extinction) reverberates with echoes of its original that belie the republican symbolism of the capital's neoclassical architecture; as when Richard Nixon excused himself from the charge of obstruction of justice on grounds that 'the sovereign is above the law.'
Unless he is just an over-sentimental student of history (and there is an urge to follow an antique drum—the Young Pretender's, for example), the American monarchist is an alienated man. Now there are several kinds of alienation, and when they are all rated against the standard of magnanimity, some are rather grand, some inconsequential, others pathological. The political faiths of modernity comprise no small part of the absurdity of contemporary life as the monarchist perceives it; existential monarchism could indeed be the consequence of Christian existentialism. There is the tsarism of the once-radical Dostoevsky to consider, also the non-resistance doctrine of the Non-Jurors in the face of an anti-Anglican king, and, in the realm of ecclesiastical monarchy, the ultramontane infallibilism of the ultra-royalist Joseph de Maistre, whose Pope had made peace with the regicide republic. The spiritually circumscribed 'mathematical' mind of the Enlightenment liberal cannot accept such contradictions. Indeed, the American monarchists who are in the best position to be taken seriously are deeply Christian, and by force of will they have made sense of life as they found it without moving one inch geographically. Homo sum; humani nihil a me alienum puto.
It is indeed 'great-souled' to be repelled by the assumptions of democracy and liberalism. Many Americans do not accept Jefferson's proposition on equality; they perceive that majority rule is only a means of evading personal responsibility; they know that human nature does not progress. Monarchism becomes an effective vehicle of protest on all fronts because the monarch is the ultimate unequal, as well as the defender of artificial aristocracy and the arbiter of natural aristocracy, while still the protector of the rights of the commons; because the divine right of kings means the divine responsibility of kings; and because if monarchy is a barbaric anachronism then it is man himself who is the anachronistic barbarian, ignorant and rebellious, whose fallen nature requires the staff of leadership. A cult of aristocracy which looks only to the law and to aristocratic virtue to prevent injustice and restrain class warfare is the unrealistic and self-serving illusion of Whigs, whether English or American. (A revived Whiggism, however, is usually the best available form of conservatism in America.)
A cult of aristocracy that did not appeal to law and virtue would be indistinguishable from a cult of monarchy that did not; of course, there have been Nietzschean monarchists, whosaw the king as Ubermensch or as the instrument of an Übermensch: Maurras, d'Annunzio, Mussolini. Here one enters a veritable morass of morbid emotions: alienation from one's time and place, leading to Utopian nostalgia, and alienation from classes and races, leading to the desire for revenge. In his novel Le vergini delle rocce, d'Annunzio (from whom Mussolini stole the trappings and symbolism of Fascism) championed the often vilified Bourbons of Naples as representatives of a lost age of 'sovereign ideality,' using them as a stick with which to beat the impotent parliamentary democracy of Italy. It would be impossible to take Maurras seriously—the nationalist demagogue whose theory of history revolves around his anti-semitism, the defender of the Church who speaks of purging Christianity of its 'Hebraic element,' the panegyrist of the ancien régime who advocates the regicide House of Orléans. Excommunicated by his Church and repudiated by his prince, at once a positivist and a late Romantic vitalist hard-pressed to dissociate himself from Nietzscheism, Maurras was not at all a spokesman for traditional monarchism. How can one take a political thinker seriously, or respect his intellectual integrity, if he cites Maurras as an authority? Yet that most famous of American monarchists, whose true home was not on this earth, T. S. Eliot, was a persistent Maurrassian, firmly convinced that 'if anything, in another generation or so, is to preserve us from a sentimental Anglo-Fascism, it will be some system of ideas which will have gained much from the study of Maurras.'
Eliot's teacher at Harvard, Irving Babbitt (1865-1933), may have been the greatest American conservative thinker of this century; his profoundly religious philosophy of 'Humanism' glorified the will as a moral force and challenged modern man to accept or reject the ethical task of self-limitation, which is the essence of self-direction or self-definition. Living in a largely self-created hell of spiritual ataxia, as his poetry attests, Eliot sought self-definition on easier terms in a demagogic cult of power: his tripartite pose as classicist, royalist, and Anglo-Catholic was his version of a Maurrassian formula, classique, catholique, monarchique. Babbitt knew the French intellectual scene intimately; yet the vaunted 'classicism' of the Action Française did not interest this arch-classicist in the least. When his most important pupil had gone completely astray, Babbitt was heard grumbling privately at Harvard about the 'sell-out.' But this may not have been only a sign of hurt feelings over the betrayal of his 'movement' or a comment on religious conversion as an easy escape route. Babbitt had talked of 'the affinity of the jellyfish for the rock.' I submit that Babbitt knew the personality of his pupil very well and perceived something of that personality's struggle with its own weakness; that Babbitt may have reserved the right to judge the quality of Eliot's conversion in the light of his allegiance to Maurras; and that Babbitt may have felt his disappointment with Eliot ultimately over the way his pupil shirked the burden of intellectual, and hence spiritual, integrity—regret over the loss of a soul through complacency in its own weakness.
I once spoke with a European-born Maurrassian. The conversation became an intellectual thimblerig; or, to pursue Babbitt's metaphor, as I probed to find the tether that held this intellectual invertebrate to his rock, every tentacle that I tested with a question turned immediately to a loose, limp, wispy rag of a limb, utterly dissociated from the ground where I had supposed it to be attached. At once a thousand arms invisibly reclaimed their ever-varying hold on the shapeless bladder's only source of security. I could see that a hydrozoan has no system of thought, only an affinity, an attraction which fixes him in the vicinity of a political idea, or, in view of all I have said about alienation, a repulsion.[1]
The alienation of Eliot belongs to the realm of what Eric Voegelin would call pneumopathology. A bourgeois intellectual in rebellion against the bourgeoisie, himself playing the eternal bourgeois game of self-invention, Eliot thought that, culturally speaking, to be an American is not to exist; in truth, to be the endlessly mutable, Protean bourgeois is not to exist. The déraciné Eliot became a cultural climber. Had the possibility really been open to him, he would have chosen by taste to be French; nevertheless, his schizoid (n.b., not schizophrenic) personality, threatened by encounters with other people (especially Americans, with their affectation of familiarity?), flew for cover behind a façade of rigid formality and utter dispassion, and so by temperament he found an obvious haven among the restrained and reserved English. To use a metaphor out of The Waste Land, solipsism, demophobia, and fear of indeterminacy were the keys to Eliot's prison. That they should culminate in vicarious power-worship through the study of Maurras inclines one to apply to such a character the adjective effeminate, with all the force of the classical use. If there is actually a direct relation between the character of an Eliot and that of a Maurras, perhaps it was perceived by Plato, who knew that the soul of a slave and the soul of a tyrant are very nearly the same article.
Yet Eliot is the only American-born Maurrassian I have encountered; and, no matter what unwholesome motives lay behind his great declaration of 1927 for classicism, royalism, and Anglo-Catholicism, stolider men have taken it for what it outwardly is, the necessarily total defiance of a society 'worm-eaten with liberalism,' and a last stand of literary dandyism, the tradition of intransigence and colourful gesture.[2] No matter what their real force or importance within the context of his own work, Eliot's three little words have inspired later Americans to make the same stand, with more conviction and more credibility, if only because they stayed in America. However alienated they may be, traditional monarchical theory, with its ideals of justice tempered by mercy, of due process of law, and of responsibility before God, has channelled their frustration into constructive thinking and has psychically repatriated them in reality. I regard them as among those proverbial mad geniuses who are saner than common men.
Because he faces an ideological challenge from the outset, the American monarchist becomes an ideologue—a conservative, but a systematic one. Having no monarchy of his own to conserve, he makes himself into an invaluable critic of his countrymen's illusions, since he can think the unthinkable about democracy. Monarchy is an international institution, and he becomes its international advocate; yet duty turns his attention first to his own country's government, whose foreign policy in this century merits his contempt for the pontifical presumption with which it uncrowned so many crowned heads of Europe in the course of two world wars. Seeking a noble cause, he weighs the merits of each position in every dynastic dispute, and usually ends up choosing the side of the cause well lost; for, as an ideologue, it is uniquely obvious to him why the rules of primogeniture and of the exclusion of regicidal and usurping lines should be obeyed.
Among those Americans with the grace to dissent from America's Whig tradition (a tradition of the relativistic politics of consensus), some do not have the confidence and tenacity to resist the absolutist impulse. Though there is a valid argument for ultramontane Roman Catholicism when it is free of ulterior motives, these Americans, adopting ultramontanism, display the fanaticism of the convert, and seem driven to take the proposition beyond its ultimate conclusion—if such were possible. They are indeed bewitched by what Nietzsche called 'the magic of the extreme.' In keeping with that penchant for seeking vicarious involvement in dynastic disputes and becoming 'more royalist than the king,' some of these persons turned themselves into Spanish Carlists and looked as if they hoped to win the Spanish Civil War a second time in America.
Brent Bozell was William F. Buckley's colleague and conservative co-conspirator in schooldays at Yale; he married Buckley's sister, collaborated in the founding of National Review, and wrote some of the best speeches ever given by Republican politicians. Bozell'sclose friend, Frederick Wilhelmsen, who taught political theory at the University of Dallas and was important in the circle of 'intellectual conservatives,' was a Thomist and a dogmatist wholly intolerant of the classical scepticism of such conservative theorists as Strauss and Voegelin. As the cultural decadence of the late 1960's engulfed the land, Bozell and Wilhelmsen found the libertarian aspect of National Review intolerable, and established a counter-journal, Triumph, and an organisation, the Society for the Christian Commonwealth. Classes in counter-revolutionary ideology were given each summer at the Escorial by Wilhelmsen, who involved himself with the Requetés and the 'Regent of Carlism,' HRH Don Francisco Javier of Bourbon-Parma.
The Triumph party's answer to the radical 'Students for a Democratic Society' was the 'Sons of Thunder,' a band of collegians who wore red berets and demonstrated against abortion by kneeling to say the Rosary in public places. One Saturday in 1970, Bozell, Wilhelmsen, the 'Sons' and other supporters, carrying placards, papal flags, and processional crosses borrowed from churches, rallied outside a Washington, D.C. abortion mill, hoping to 'negotiate' a one-day 'moratorium' on infanticide as a step towards decency; the police, frightened by their cries ofViva Christo Rey!, clubbed and arrested them. The gesture appeared futile—but what is a tiny minority to do in the face of utter indifference to a wholesale practice which it believes to be a deliberate abomination before God and human conscience and which, it also believes, is destined to bring His wrath upon the nation? Notwithstanding that, National Review would have none of this preaching foolishness to the gentiles, and called the movement 'Quixotic,' 'exotic,' and 'parodic'. One professor wrote, 'You will not mend [our society] by dressing up in the rags of Spanish romantic politics and attempting to force a juncture of religion and civil order.'
Triumphstopped publishing in the mid-seventies; in the meantime, however, it had provided a forum for American experimentation with the ideals of monarchy, and may very well have patterned itself after Rob Lyle and Roy Campbell's The Catacomb, which championed another dubious Carlist claimant whose line is now extinct. But there was an hour of glory before the end. In 1975, with the death of Franco impending, the Spanish Carlists were on the rise, though the son and heir of the aged Francisco Javier, Carlos Hugo, was sympathetic to communism. Therefore Wilhelmsen chose Carlos Hugo's younger brother, Sixto Enreique, for his candidate; then he and Bozell flew to France to smuggle this prince over the border illegally for a Carlist rally in Northern Spain. In recognition of his pains, the old pretender, Francisco Javier, made the professor a Caballero de la Gran Cruz de la Legitimidad Proscrita.
This is a chapter in the history of American conservatism that the conservatives would have us forget. Today, Bozell is in seclusion, and Wilhelmsen maintains ties with some Carlist groups in South America, though little is heard from him in this country. Yet, even though years have passed since the year of adventure, Wilhelmsen confesses, 'Carlism has been a way of life and a conclusion to the syllogism of my existence.'
Bv contrast with the affair of the 'Sons,'Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, who has a completely formed ideology and in his writings cites Maistre, Bonald, and Donoso Cortés along with Aquinas, circumspectly directs a youth-centered counter-revolutionary organisation active in fifteen countries known as 'Tradition, Family, and Property.' The princes of the Imperial House of Brazil are supporters of his; and though the TFP does not take a monarchist stance per se,it notes more than respectfully that St. Thomas considered monarchy the ideal form of government. In the U.S., the TFP distributes its literature and dons the red beret from time to time in public manifestations. The site of its U.S. headquarters is a great Hudson Valley manor lined with ornamental halberds and swords and portraits of Charlemagne and the Condé along with those of Dr. de Oliveira and of miraculous statues of the Blessed Virgin.[3]
There have been other appearances of monarchism in America. At Yale, the 'Party of the Right' in the collegiate Political Union holds an annual memorial service for King Charles the Martyr. The Order of the Cincinnati, composed of descendants of General Washington's officers, has Louis XVI for its patron. The Constantian Society is an indigenous body of international monarchists, and collaborated with the Monarchist League of Canada and the Order of Russian Imperial Union in holding a 'study conference on monarchy' in 1983 at Durham, New Hampshire in time for the two-thousandth anniversary of the founding of the Roman Empire and the sixty-fifth of the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II; it was a publicity coup both in the American press and behind the Iron Curtain, where the Voice of America, Radio Canada, Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Europe provided extensive coverage (leading to a satirical attack in the Soviet magazine Крокодил). The conference elicited a memorable outpouring of royalist fervor, and it will be repeated on Victoria Day 1984 at Toronto, Canada. The nation's art museums offer clandestine monarchist activity of a less serious sort; for example, in my native city of Detroit, it was possible for patrons to attend banquets in the same season honouring the reigning queen of Holland and the de jure king of the Two Sicilies. On an even less serious note, some kilted Scotsmen in America have precipitously pledged their allegiance to a Jacobite pretender claiming to be a descendant of the Cardinal Duke of York by a secret marriage; it is all too reminiscent of the 'Sobieski Stuart' affair of the nineteenth century.
A fellow countryman of mine who studied at a British university became president of his local chapter of the Monarchist League, and thereby hangs a moral. In comparison with their American counterparts, the British in general make rather poor monarchists—and this criticism may be applied all the way to the top. Their insular attitude is reflected in the official policy of according no recognition to foreign titles of any sort: a horror story circulates about a Bourbon prince who wrote to Buckingham Palace for an audience and received a reply addressed to 'Bourbon, Esq.' . . . The British are implicated along with the Americans in the fall of nine European thrones in the course of the world wars; in their place are three proto-socialist regimes and eight communist dictatorships. If the Free World could redeem Eastern Europe from its communist slavemasters, it would be an act of historical penance. But it will take an act of will simply for most people to ask themselves what monarchy is, and why it should exist, and then to begin the crusade by conserving the rôle of monarchy in those nations that still have it.

Hello, I'm here to suggest another addition to XHTML Basic [1] source code. 1. There's no <?xml?> declaration. It's okay because the spec itself is in pure ASCII. However people who translate wouldn't care to insert such declaration into their translation (I'm saying this because I've looked thru all XHTML Basic translations). There also should be the encoding attribute which value will be changed if appropriate. 2. Line 801: an <abbr title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</abbr> This look strange because in all the other cases you use acronym for XML. I'm going to change this in my translation of XHTML Basic, am I right? When the translation is ready do I have to announce it anywhere apart from the email@example.com? In my opinion the above-mentioned things really need to be standartized somewhere at the W3C. --- Alexander "Croll" Savenkov http://www.thecroll.com/ email@example.com http://croll.da.ru/Received on Friday, 19 April 2002 07:07:02 UTC

The biggest event on the international squash calendar, the 2017 AJ Bell PSA World Championships will light up Manchester from the 8th to the 17th December when the greatest players in the world descend on the UK's leading sporting city to battle it out for the right to be crowned World Champion.
Qualification and early rounds of the prestigious event will be held at the renowned National Squash Centre, while the quarter-final stage onwards will see the championships move to Manchester Central in the heart of the city.
Of the 150+ players competing, only two will taste the ultimate glory and International Squash Magazine look forward to the main contenders.
Women's Favourites:
Laura Massaro (ENG)
One of England's greatest ever squash players, Laura Massaro's determination and will to win have seen her become a perennial title challenger who, aged 33, shows no signs of slowing down.
What she lacks in natural shot-making flair, Massaro makes up for in a combination of mental fortitude, resilience, physical strength and supreme fitness - forming a package that makes her almost impossible to beat on her day.
The reigning British Open Champion will have the advantage of having a passionate home crowd behind her in Manchester and, having captured the 2013 World Championship title, she has all the big match experience to deal with the pressure.
The former World No.1 will be hoping for a favourable draw in the early rounds to enable her to reach the latter stages in full fitness - where the dangers of an intensely competitive field will lay in wait.
Nour El Sherbini (EGY)
Despite being just 21-years-old Nour El Sherbini has dominated the PSA World Tour for the past 18 months, maintaining the World No.1 spot unbroken throughout that period and winning the past two editions of the World Championship.
Her victory in 2015, coming from 0-2 down to defeat Massaro, saw her crowned the youngest ever Women's World Champion and she will be a firm favourite to complete a hat-trick of wins this December.
A sublime finisher and shot-maker, El Sherbini is one of the most exciting players on the PSA World Tour but one who also harbours a fierce inner determination and fire that acts as the back-bone to her success.
The burden of expectation will not phase a player who has been at the very top of the game since her teenage years.
Raneem El Welily (EGY)
One of the world's most naturally gifted and skilful players, Raneem El Welily is an enigmatic character who is at times sublime and at times perplexing.
A consistent figure inside the top five since 2012, a period that saw her become the first player in nine years to dethrone Nicol David and become the first ever female Egyptian World No.1, El Welily has at times failed to deliver on the promise that accompanies her talent.
When she puts her game together she is arguably the best player on World Tour but mental lapses and concentration issues seem to accompany her into every event.
She has appeared in two World Championship finals previously, where she fell to defeat against Nicol David in 2014 after holding multiple match balls and then to El Sherbini in 2016. If she can conquer her mental doubts, she will be a force to reckon with in 2017.
Camille Serme (FRA)
The only female player to claim two World Series titles during the 2016/17 season, lifting both the U.S. Open and Tournament of Champions titles, Camille Serme is a complete all-round player who is both physically strong as well as gifted with the racket in hand.
Since making her bed in 2005 questions had surrounded the Frenchwoman's mental strength, but a new-found approach adopted at the end of 2016 seemed to put those questions to bed - but she is yet to taste success on the biggest stage of all. A disappointing semi-final exit during the last World Championship instalment, an event she entered in the form of her life, will have fuelled her inner desire.
Men's Favourites:
Mohamed ElShorbagy (EGY)
A ferocious hitter with incredible physical strength and mental determination, Mohamed ElShorbagy has won every title there is to win - except for the PSA World Championship, and the Egyptian, who now resides in Bristol, will be determined to change that record in his adopted home country this December.
ElShorbagy has twice lost out in the championship final, to Ramy Ashour in both 2012 and 2014 in two of the greatest finals ever, and will deeply feel the absence of the biggest title of all.
The 25-year-old suffered a slump in form during the 2016/17 season after spending over two years atop the World Rankings, but having finished the season on a high with victory at the PSA Dubai World Series Finals, will be out to settle his score with the World Championships this year.
Gregory Gaultier (FRA)
Current World No.1 Gaultier has been an ever-present inside the World's top 10 for almost a decade and continues to defy age, becoming the oldest ever No.1 at the age of 34.
The enigmatic and charismatic star, dubbed the 'French General' for his controlling and dominating style of play, has gone from strength-to-strength during the past two years, only improving with age.
Having banished the mental demons that plagued him during four previous World Championship defeats, Gaultier won the biggest title in squash in 2015 and will be determined to double his tally before he retires.
Karim Abdel Gawad (EGY)
The defending World Champion, Karim Abdel Gawad's rise to prominence during the 2016/17 season saw him capture the World Championship crown and take the World No.1 spot much to the surprise of squash fans around the world.
The 'Baby faced assassin's' maturity through the season saw him add a new level of physical fitness to his supreme racket control - a combination that allows him to make the game look effortless.
Gawad is often a slow starter and key to a successful title defence in Manchester will be his ability to start strong and avoid a series of consecutive five-game battles en route to the latter stages.
Nick Matthew (ENG)
Champion in 2013 when the tournament last took place in Manchester, 37-year-old Nick Matthew will be hoping for one last hurrah in front of a partisan home crowd in what will likely be his last ever World Championship appearance.
Matthew has forged a career through his fierce competitiveness, mental stubbornness and legendary fitness which has seen him grind down and despatch the sport's very best players for almost 20 years.
Victories in the 2010 and 2011 World Championships saw him become the first player in 15 years to win back-to-back world titles and with the chance to join Geoff Hunt as joint third on list of all time winners with four titles, rest assured Matthew will leave no stone unturned in his quest for success.
As well as the main contenders, there are also many other key names to watch as the top squash players head to Manchester in December.
Ramy Ashour is one of the most gifted players ever to play the game and is a real fan favourite on the PSA World Tour - a player of stunning, unpredictable capacity. His victory in the 2014 World Championship after a six-month injury absence was one of the greatest ever, but victory this December would perhaps even go beyond that achievement,
Ali Farag has enjoyed a meteoric rise since joining the PSA World Tour in 2009 with the Egyptian already ranked inside the top five and with many touting him as a future World No.1. With a languid and relaxed style, Farag is a master mover and sublime finisher - traits that could see him sneak under the radar come December.
Nouran Gohar is just 19 years of age and is already a leading contender on the women's international circuit. A hard-hitting style and physical strength make her a nightmare for all opposition. If she can add a few more nuances to her game, come December she could be unbeatable.
Nicol David is one of the most decorated sports stars of her generation and has been crowned World Champion an incredible eight times. The Malaysian has been on a downwards trajectory for the past two years, but if anyone knows who to win on the biggest stage of all, it is David.

101 Cafe recycles in a big way
The 101 Cafe's waste/recycle hauler Waste Management now takes all of our recyclable items in our bins. This completely changes the amount we can now recycle. We will go from three trash bin pick ups per week to just one and we will pick up our recycle bin three times instead of just one. This effectively increases our recycling to seventy-five percent of our waste an amount of which makes us happy.
Oceanside has been in the forefront of recycling and now commercial recycling will help bring it closer to our new goals.
The following Businesses at El Corazon provide more recycling opportunities;
Moodys accepts concrete, asphalt and dirt.
Agri Service Incorporated accepts all green waste and provide mulch and wood chips to the community

CSS Menus within an I-Frame
Anyone know of a way to get a CSS menu (created with Web Assist CCS Menu Tool, of course) work within an I-Frame?
It doesn't open over the content below the I-Frame, it only shows inside the I-Frame. The height of the I-Frame is only high enough to show the first level menu, and it is not practical to increase the height of the I-Frame - too many many items within the menu.
Menu works great on its own, but in this instance, is HAS to be IFramed within a page on another site/another web server:
Example of Menu on its own:
Example of Menu where it really needs to be:
Any feedback is appreciated, even if it's "No way - it can't be done!"

August 02, 2010 -- Rolta UK today announce the release of Version 2 of a free Loader for OS VectorMap Local. Version 2 of this software which is released today simply and quickly translates and loads OS VectorMap Local GML (Geography Markup Language) formatted data into both ESRI SHP and MapInfo TAB formats. In addition to data translation, Version 2 also provides for presentation of the data in common styles. This software and style guides are available to download from the Rolta Europe Website at www.rolta-europe.com
OS VectorMap™ Local is a national vector dataset supplied in GML from Ordnance Survey Great Britain (OSGB). It has been derived from OS Landplan data and has been generalised to view between scales of 1:3000 to 1:20,000. OS VectorMap Local is a flexible product that helps its users to visualise information on a map. It enables users to customise the look and feel of the map, incorporating their own information, in their own way. Users can create and share different style sheets, providing a certain view and understanding across their business or project. OS VectorMap Local encompasses the quality of Ordnance Survey data whilst its excellent value makes it accessible to all. The features are supplied as points, lines, polygons and text, and the data has around 130 different types of feature code. To find out more about OS VectorMap Local go to http://www.ordnancesurveyvectormap.com/
On the launch of Rolta UK's Version 2 of the OS VectorMap™ Local Loader, Peter ter Haar, Director of Products at Ordnance Survey, said: "There has been a growing interest in OS VectorMap Local and what it can offer a customer over and above the traditional raster mapping products. The work that Rolta UK has done in developing this Version 2 of the free Loader further supports customers' use and answers many of the questions around translation and styling that have been posed. Providing customers with a single tool to translate and style OS VectorMap Local will reduce the time and effort required to extract value from this data. We continue to welcome and value the work that Rolta UK has done to support the use of OS VectorMap Local. They enable users to translate GML data into formats that can be used by a variety of GIS software. We look forward to continuing working with Rolta as they further develop their solution for this product."
Graham Stickler of Rolta UK added "We have been delighted at the response to Version 1 of our loader and appreciate the feedback the market has supplied. We have taken all comments onboard and are pleased to now supply a Version 2 of the product, again as freeware. Once again we have worked closely with OSGB and hope that this simple loader will help users quickly and easily begin to explore the benefits of the OS VectorMap Local data product. We believe users should be spending their time and money in making best possible use of the highest quality geospatial data available and integrating such data into core business processes and are happy to help in achieving this"

Plenty of boats collected awards today for the Caithness Energy Race Day at Block Island Race Week, but nobody packed the stage quite as effectively as the crew of the Tartan 46 Testing Life, sailing in the Cruising Spinnaker Division.
It is fitting that in this 50th anniversary Block Island Race Week regatta that the 12-person crew sailing aboard Testing Life is comprised of friends and immediately family. After all, this was a key ingredient in the original regatta in 1965. Brian Mulhall, co-owner, with his wife Diane thinks that the future of sailing resides in the inclusion of the cruiser/racer class in regattas. Mulhall advocates the principle of "having fun" while competing with the best.
His crew of twelve only makes up half of the contingent the family have brought with them to Block Island. "We rented one of the big houses on Corn Neck Road," Mulhall says and he'll need it to accommodate the 25 people have come to the island to enjoy the regatta and the destination. When asked about his crew's success on today's course, Mulhall explains that it all comes down to "following the directions from the race committee" in the Sailing Instructions and Notice of Race.
Considering they have a first-in-class finish in the Annapolis to Newport Race and a first today to start BIRW 2015, the Mulhall's are making a pretty good argument for the future of family and friends for fun for sailing.

Living shorelines provide valuable ecological services.These services include water quality improvement, aquatic habitat, tidal water exchange, sediment movement, plant community transitions, and improved groundwater flow. Some treatments preserve wetlands by allowing their gradual landward retreat as sea levels rise. Living shoreline treatments maintain natural processes and connections between riparian, intertidal and aquatic areas.
Virginia has nearly 5,000 miles of shoreline, marshes, beaches, and tidal mudflats which provide habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. These marshes and wetlands are threatened due to relative sea level rise caused by climate change, coastal subsidence (or sinking) and manmade impacts. In Virginia, an average of 16 to 18 miles of new shoreline structures were permitted each year from 2000 to 2007. Armoring the shorelines with bulkheads or seawalls threatens landscapes, public access, recreational opportunities, natural habitats, water quality, and contributes to erosion of adjacent shorelines. These factors could reduce the number of fish, crabs, and birds that depend on coastal habitats.
Flood and Erosion Protection - Tidal wetlands reduce the rate of surface water flow and temporarily store flood waters like a sponge. Wetlands receive stormwater runoff and release it gradually. They change sharp runoff peaks and discharge water flows over longer periods of time thus reduce the danger of flooding and also recharging groundwater supplies.
Water Quality - Just like nature's kidneys, tidal wetlands filter and trap sediments and pollutants, increase dissolved oxygen levels and reduce nutrient levels. As water flow is slowed over the marsh, sediments and chemicals drop out of the water column, high rates of productivity lead to high rates of mineral uptake, and decomposition processes take place in wetland sediments.
Shoreline Erosion Control - The dense stems, roots and rhizomes of tidal wetland plants buffer the adjacent shoreline by reducing wave energy and reducing current velocity thereby trapping sediments.
Aquatic Productivity - A complex food web is supported through the transformation of inorganic nutrients into organic matter that is useful to aquatic animals. Decaying plant matter (detritus) is colonized by microorganisms which are then consumed by larger aquatic animals such as marsh periwinkles. The wetlands ecosystem is the source of food for a variety of fish, shellfish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.
Fish and Wildlife Habitat - Wetlands provide habitat for resident and migratory species of fish, invertebrates, reptiles, birds and mammals. Wetland habitats are important for a high percentage of endangered and threatened species. Roughly two-thirds of our commercially valuable fish and shellfish use tidal wetlands as spawning or nursery areas.
Aesthetics - People enjoy wetlands for their beauty, ecological diversity, and solitude. Wetlands are a vast treasure of information about our cultural heritage since many Native American villages were based in these locations. Wetlands are beautiful locations for fishing, hunting, painting, photography, bird watching, hiking canoeing, crabbing and wildlife study.

Mikio Iguchi (1st Year EdD student)
Purpose of today:
To give you a bird's eye view of the history of L2 motivation, its features, and recent trends.
To let you review on motivation in L2 learning as language teachers.
To let you think, if you were to research on L2 motivation, what would be an interesting topic?
1. Social Psychology (1960s onwards)
2. Cognitive Psychology (1980s – 1990s)
3. Educational Shift & Motivational Renaissance (1990s onwards)
4. Recent Research Trends (2000s onwards)
5. Educational Implications
This presentation is mostly based on Dörnyei's "Attitudes, orientations, and motivations in language learning: Advances in theory, research, and applications" Language Learning 53 (S1):
"Motivation is, without question, the most complex and challenging issue facing teachers today." (Scheidecker and Freeman 1999:116)
There isn't much theory that "provides an all-
round explanation of what we do and why."
(Dörnyei 2003:1)
"Motivation is a multifaceted construct, and the
exact nature of the constituent components
activated in a particular situation depends greatly
on contextual factors."
(Dörnyei 2003:1)
1.Integrative motivation: aim of learning is to learn about the language group, or to meet more and different people from the target language community, to the point of eventually being accepted as a member of that group.
2. Instrumental motivation: reasons of L2 learning reflect the more utilitarian value of linguistic achievement, such as benefiting in an occupation.1. Social Psychology (1960s onwards)
Integrative motivation: Psychological and emotional identification is in the core idea. (Dörnyei 2003:5-6)1.1 Core Idea of "Integrativeness"
Identity "As-is"
Integrativeness is a process
Identity "To-be"
"Possible self"
"Ideal self"
"What motivates your students to learn English in your
context? And why?"Question1
1.Intrinsic motivation: an inner drive, impulse, emotion, or desire that is derived from inner potentialities and latent resources. e.g. learn L2 for its own sake
2. Extrinsic motivation: an inner drive, impulse, emotion, or desire that is derived from other people, or the real world.
e.g. learn L2 for money, prizes, grades, certain types of positive feedback2.1 Self-determination Theory
"Intrinsically motivated activities are ones for which there is no apparent reward except the activity itself. People seem to engage in the activities for their own sake not because they lead to an extrinsic reward... Intrinsically motivated behaviors are aimed at bringing about certain internally rewarding consequences, namely, feelings of competence and self-determination." Deci (1975:23)
Past experience
Future achievement efforts
"It is generally believed that learners who attribute both success and failure to internal factors such as effort are most likely to maintain their motivation at a high level." Richards and Schmidt (2002: 38)
Thought provoking questions.
"In what ways does past experience affect your students' motivation to learn English?"
"There has hardly been any attempts in L2 strategies to adopt the other well known goal theory in educational psychology, goal orientation theory, even though, as Pintrich and Schunk (2002: 242) have recently concluded, 'Currently, it is probably the most active area of research on student motivation in classrooms and it has direct implications for students and teachers.'" (Dörnyei 2003:9)
Goal/need significance
Coping Potential
Self and social image2.4 Schumann's Theory
Degree of unexpectedness/familiarity
Whether the stimulus is instrumental in satisfying needs or achieving goals
Whether the individual expects to be able to cope with the event
Whether the event is compatible with social norms and the individual's self-concept
Three directions within the educational and situated approach:
It is WTC that directly influences L2 use.
Factors that support
WTC (Layer III to VI)
Task execution
Figure 2. Schematic representation
of the three mechanisms making up the proposed task-processing system. Dörnyei (2003:15)
Action control
"While learners are engaged in executing a task, they continuously appraise the process, and when the ongoing monitoring reveals that progress is slowing, halting, or backsliding, they activate the action control system to 'save' or enhance the action." Dörnyei (2003:16)
Dörnyei (2003) concludes that "the study of task motivation is certainly one of the most fruitful directions for future research."
Learning Strategy
*Note that the preferred term currently is "Self-regulatory learning"
L2 Motivation
"most participants appeared to have great difficulty in discussing different aspects of their metacognitive strategy use and conveyed a lack of sense of control over their learning….Very little evidence was found of planning behavior" Williams, Burden, and Lanvers (2002:519)
Preactional Stage
Actional Stage
Postactional Stage
Choice Motivation:
motivation is generated and initiated
Executive Motivation:
ongoing appraisal of the student's progress and action control (self-regulation)
Motivational Retrospection:
encouraging self-evaluation and even self-reflection
Dörnyei (2003: 19)
1. Devising Motivational Strategies
2. Formulation of Self-motivating Strategies
3. Teacher Motivation5. Educational Implications
1. Creating the basic motivational conditions
4. Encouraging positive retrospective self-evaluation
2. Generating initial motivation
3. Maintaining and protecting motivation
1. Commitment control strategies:for helping to preserve or increase learner's original goal commitment.
2. Metacognitive control strategies: for monitoring and controlling concentration and for curtailing unnecessary procrastination.
3. Satiation control strategies: for eliminating boredom and adding extra attraction or interest to the task.
4. Emotion control strategies: for managing disruptive emotional states or moods and for generating emotions that will be conducive to implementing one's intentions.
5. Environmental control strategies: for eliminating negative environmental influences and exploiting positive environmental influences by making the environment an ally in the pursuit of a difficult goal.
"The amount of L2 research on this issue is meager, and quite surprisingly, teacher motivation is also a relatively uncharted area in educational psychology." Dörnyei (2003: 26)
Dörnyei (2003) points out that "there have been no attempts in the field to compile a list of 'ways to motivate language teacher', even though a scientifically validated list of this sort would predictably be very useful and much sought after.."
"What motivates you as a language teacher to teach English in your context? And why?"
Note: This may be a sensitive issue, so if you are to discuss this outside this room, please do not refer to specific individual names. (NG: "Mikio said he was not motivated in teaching his student, when…")Question4
Social Psychology
Cognitive Psychology
Educational ShiftSummary
"I anticipate that the next decade will bring about a consolidation of the wide range of new themes and theoretical orientations that have emerged in the past 10-15 years, and that the often speculative theorizing will be grounded in solid research findings, from both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms." Dörnyei (2003: 27)

BJP may decide on Modi, Advani candidature today
Weeks before the LS polls, the BJP is likely to finalise the second seat for its PM candidate Narendra Modi and also announce the seat from which senior leader LK Advani will contest in the CEC meeting on Wednesday.india Updated: Mar 19, 2014 14:39 IST
Weeks before the Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to finalise the second seat for its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and also announce the seat from which senior leader LK Advani will contest in the Central Election Committee meeting on Wednesday.
According to PTI, while Advani is likely to be fielded again from Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat, Modi could choose to contest from either Baroda or Ahmedabad East.
Reports said on Wednesday Modi called Advani in the morning and urged him to contest from Gandhinagar seat amid speculations the senior leader could contest the general elections from Bhopal rather than from Gandhinagar.
The Gujarat unit of BJP has sent only Advani's name for Gandhinagar while it has strongly recommended Modi should contest from his home state (apart from Varanasi) as well because it is the "wish and demand of the people of Gujarat as well as party workers."
Advani, 87, has been the sitting MP from Gandhinagar for the last 16 years straight. Speculation about his shift to Bhopal has gained ground ever since the BJP did not announce a candidate for that seat when it released its list for Madhya Pradesh.
The decision to make recommendations about Modi and Advani, besides other seats in Gujarat, to the party's central leadership was taken by the state parliamentary board, which met in Gandhinagar Tuesday at Modi's residence.
"Out of the 26 seats of the state, we have finalised panel of three names (each) for 25 seats, barring only one constituency of Gandhinagar. On the Gandhinagar seat we have recommended party leader LK Advaniji," state BJP general secretary Vijay Rupani said.
The party's CEC will also decide upon the list of candidates for Rajasthan and the remaining seats of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
The saffron party had on Saturday announced Modi would contest the Varanasi seat in Uttar Pradesh after sitting parliamentarian Murli Manohar Joshi gave in to the pressure from top leadership.
The BJP's poll committee had finalised its fourth list of 98 candidates from 12 states, including UP, at a marathon meeting of top leaders in New Delhi.

I'm LOVING all these pictures! It's just like the old days...
I do like it better, especially for a gatling gun. I do think the model could be improved if the turret was moved down a tad. It looks a bit too tall from the base of the model.

I'm LOVING all these pictures! It's just like the old days...
I do like it better, especially for a gatling gun. I do think the model could be improved if the turret was moved down a tad. It looks a bit too tall from the base of the model.
the higher it is the more stuff it can shoot over lol
^The high ground is essential when it comes to defence. :P
its spelled defense.
dont become a grammer nazi man every one makes mistakes
im only playing. i make mistakes. im only informing ppl that the word is actually spelled with se instead of ce, for i made the mistake several times
Very UEF, you guys hit the nail on the head with this one.
needs like little turrets to attack small units that can overwhelm it
I'm falling in love!
Wait, remake of the T3 PD?
Thats really nice!
Would be awesome if u make a giant fortress. Just a big building with all of ur turrets to defend ur home.
And after some Upgrade there willbe more guns or unlocks a ability that u can build units in it.
holy **** balls thats crazzy terminator style
Got a question: is it possible to place a model partially in the ground so it looks like there is a hole in the ground (e.g. like the UEF land gantry when building units)?
Cause if so, would it be possible to make an artillery cannon that comes out of the ground from retracting (but so that you can acually see it) everytime it reloads?
Yes look though the pictures for the uef t3 power gen.
The old one feels more massive and turret-ish. This one is more like a anti-air/anti-missile defense. It would look great imo with an actual turret to hold the gun, instead of what it has atm.
yer I have made some changes along those lines :)
hmmm i agree with this guy somewhat. i looked at the old turret, at first i liked the older one but this one looks much more suited for pd, the other one looked more than godlike for some kind of t3 stealth tank now that i think about it,
Name for this : "Repulsor" because it can easily repel the enemy attacks ;)
repulsor is an antigravity device used to make hovercraft hover.
Then "Retaliator" ?
have you guys tried making flame turrets? that would be pretty cool to put into the mod aswell

Last night was our company wide Christmas Party held at the Alpha Land South Gate Mall. We were requested to wear something hip hop because that was our theme for the night. Though I was a bit hesitant to wear something hippie, I still managed to look a bit like one but our division has a uniform tshirt. This party will be a memorable one because we expected to have a new management on board come January.
I don't know why but I had a strange feeling that night that something special will be announced!
We were one of the early birds so we gathered in the corner for a group shot.
And I'm right! They did announced something....but not the one that everybody was expecting (read:BONUS)... I won a 22 inches Devant LCD TV! Kutob, I'm really good at it.

Tattooed, Cigar-Smoking Toddler Terrorizes Neighborhood Man
He's got unfinished business to take care of.
Writer Arik Nordby was kind enough to send us this video homage to Will Ferrell's classic video, "The Landlord." As Arik told us, "The Lawnboy" stars "(his) toddler Ike, a cigar, a can of gas and a Louis Vuitton nut cup."
Did that catch your attention, too?

Many thanks to Arik Nordby (and Ike, of course) for sharing this with us.

Those scurrying sounds in the attic may well be Gray, Fox, Flying or Pine squirrels - which love to invade attics, and occasionally walls of structures. Call today for removal solutions to rid your home of squirrel problems! Play Audio Pause Audio Description There are different types of squirrels throughout the area that cause problems in homes. Flying squirrels, grounds squirrels, and tree squirrels are pesky animals that can cause significant damages upon entering and nesting in your home. Appearance Tree Squirrels 1-2 feet long Gray, brown, or black in color Ground Squirrels Shorter tails than that of a tree squirrel Smaller in size Reddish-gray to smoky brown in color Color may include black spots or stripes Flying Squirrels Smallest of all 3 squirrels Webs of skin between fore and hind limbs Light brown or gray in color Large eyes Habitat Tree Squirrels Tree squirrels prefer to live where ground cover is plentiful, including hardwood or coniferous forests. They will build nests in the trees using twigs and leaves. Ground Squirrels Ground squirrels can be found living among open grasslands. Their nest will consist of extensive burrows in the ground with multiple exits. Flying Squirrels Flying squirrels make their homes in the crevices of trees or abandoned bird's nests. The small squirrels prefer to live in wooded areas where they can easily glide from treetop to treetop. Squirrel Problems Entry Squirrels will enter homes in search of a warm nesting area or while seeking food. Already damaged areas and construction gaps make great places for squirrels to enter homes. If there is no way of entry and the squirrel is determined to enter your home, the persistent animal will chew a hole in building material. Squirrel Damage Squirrels can create damages around your property and inside of your home. The burrowing habits of squirrels and digging for insects and nuts will damage yards and fields. Squirrels inside of the homes can create an electrical hazard by chewing wires within the attic and pulling insulation for nesting. Squirrel Control Control and Safety Keeping ground squirrels off personal property is challenging since the rodents can simply burrow underneath or climb over most fences, though electrified fencing can be effective. Tree squirrels and flying squirrels can be kept from entering attics by sealing all possible external entrances and pruning tree limbs that hang over roofs. Trapping and Removal If serious squirrel problems arise, contact Critter Control wildlife experts to handle the furry little rodents. Our technicians have the training and tools necessary to trap and remove squirrels from private properties. We only employ humane methods of eradication and our process is safe for all humans and animals involved. We can help you get rid of squirrel problems!

The invitation by a major cross-border charity comes after speculation the senior republican may hold an historic first meeting with the Queen.
Sinn Fein previously said it had yet to be presented with a ''doable proposition'' over such an encounter.
Now Co-operation Ireland has announced it is to host an event for the Queen and the President of Ireland next Wednesday to celebrate the arts and culture across the island.
It said: ''We are inviting the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to join us.''
Sinn Fein's leadership will meet in Dublin this morning to make a decision on the invitation.
A venue for the event has yet to be confirmed.
It had been believed that plans for a 20,000-strong celebration of the Queen's reign, to be held at Stormont during the Queen's two day visit, made it more difficult for republicans to hold a meeting there.
But an engagement involving not only the Queen, but also Ireland's head of state, could provide a more acceptable backdrop for Sinn Fein.
Co-operation Ireland works to build bridges between divided communities on the island.
It said: "Co-operation Ireland is organising an event in Belfast next Wednesday, June 27, bringing together the joint patrons and a small number of guests to recognise and celebrate the transformational strength of the arts and culture across the community in Northern Ireland and throughout Ireland."
Sinn Fein boycotted the Queen's state visit to the Republic of Ireland last year - maintaining its refusal to ever take part in royal events.
But the Queen carried out a series of major gestures which were seen as a dramatic advance in Anglo-Irish relations.
She laid a wreath at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin which honours republicans who died fighting British rule in Ireland.
The Queen also visited the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), and spoke Irish at a banquet in her honour, which were also seen as efforts to pay respect to key aspects of Irish cultural identity.
The moves had a major impact across Ireland, north and south.
Sinn Fein was criticised for failing to involve itself in the visit, but Stormont Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has since spoken of how he was struck by the Queen's gestures at the time.
First Minister Peter Robinson, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, has said republicans should pay due respect to the monarch as a recognition of her importance to many in Northern Ireland.
Mr McGuinness, who is due to be in Scotland today to attend an inter-governmental meeting, has said his party's decision would be guided on what would be best for the peace process - fuelling claims Sinn Fein is now poised to agree to the meeting.
A meeting between the Queen and the leading republican, who was once an IRA commander, would be a major development.
But Mr Robinson was among those who said such a meeting would also be difficult for the Queen, given that her own family was hurt by republican violence, after the IRA killed Lord Louis Mountbatten in a 1979 bombing in Co Sligo.
Sinn Fein's ard chomhairle, its ruling executive, will meet in Dublin this morning to make its decision on the invitation.

Skinner's Brewery has formed a partnership with chef Freddy Bird, collaborating on projects involving great food and ale.
Freddy and Skinner's have joined forces at several high-profile events recently, including the Port Eliot and Abergavenny Food festivals — where the chef cooked a monkfish, lobster and clam stew paired with Lushingtons golden ale — and used beers as an ingredient in recipes such as Hops 'n' Honey barbecue ribs, steak, oyster mushroom and Cornish Knocker ale pie, and a Penny Come Quick chocolate ice cream.
Freddy is the executive head chef of the award-winning Lido restaurant, in Bristol, and its sister restaurants, The Glassboat and Three Brothers Burgers, also located in the heart of that city. He is also the executive head chef of the new Thames Lido, in Reading, opening in mid-October, with a menu that reflects the authentic Lido style.
Freddy was born and bred in Bristol, but has his roots in the South West and Cornwall. He has a distinctly relaxed and pretence-free approach to cooking and dining, and gives particular focus to the provenance of his ingredients and the simplicity with how they are used. An ideal match for Skinner's Cornish fresh air outlook, Freddy is a lover of the outdoors and is often found cooking over fire.
Skinner's Brewery founder, Steve Skinner, said: "We are delighted to be working with Freddy. His love for the outdoors, his focus on high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients and passion for delicious beer make him the ideal match with Skinner's. We're really excited for the wonderful combination of food and beer this partnership will bring!"
Skinner's and Freddy first collaborated at the Port Eliot festival this year where the brewery specially commissioned two huge grills from its brewing equipment as the centrepiece for the Campfire stage. Freddy cooked over the two grills using Skinner's beers.

The land for sale is one of three adjacent plots just behind the beachfront at the eastern end of Chalok Lam Bay. Each plot is level and perfect for developing up to three bungalows or houses for rent. Access to the land is through public roads that reach the Southern tip of the property and then access to the beach is through another public path that traverses the 40 metres to the seafront.
Electricity is onsite and water is supplied to the land from outside (there is no well as the plot is too close to the sea).
The property is the end plot of the three for sale – Plot 14 as marked on the plan below. The land immediately to the east is free of buildings.
The beach at Chalok Lam is vast, stretching some 3 kilometres in length. The general area surrounding the plot is leafy and in the immediate vicinity of the land bungalows and houses for rent are already in place.
An ideal plot for the small investor looking to make a home in Thailand or start a business.

Here is the schedule.
Warm up 5 minutes
run 90 seconds
walk 90 seconds
run 3 minutes
walk 3 minutes
Repeat sequence twice
As far as my running goes......its been a little different. I have one friend looking at knee surgury. No I did not injure her....its a reaccuring injury from last year and after taking to long of an exercise break the running aggrivated it. Ky, is having some issues to with her knees. No major problems but she is taking some anti-inflammatories and doc said she is good to go soon! I have been trucking along getting some more intense runs in by myself. Just me and my ipod. I am harder on myself, which is why running alone is very beneficial. I made myself do much longer distances, times and intervals. I am furious with myself more than ever that I took so much time off. Oh well I know it will come back. Until it does you will find me huffing and puffing along, dodging cars(because it is definetly a hazard around here) and doing my time. Well except for today. Today I took off......can you save sore legs? Tomorrow though....ON IT! (as the Spartans say)
By the way....I want this clock...Its from Nike.com but the link is not working for me. Anywho. Great clock right? Don't we all just struggle with mind clutter? Mind clutter that keeps us from our goals. Its good to be reminded that the world will NOT end.

Aligarh First Day Collection Report
With a very sophisticated star cast and serious story, once again the talented and experienced actors of Bollywood film industry are ready to give another specimen of their outstanding acting and knowledge. The fresh flick Aligarh has released today on box office along with some other films. It is a biographical drama film based on the life of Indian linguist and author Dr. Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was suspended from his job because of his sexual orientation. The film features Manoj Bajpai, Rajkummar Rao & Ashish Vidyarthi in the main lead roles.
All these actors have already given the audience a variety of entertaining films having a unique and different taste other than the ordinary releases that comprise of romance and comedy. We have seen these talented actors giving a mind blowing performance in the previous films which received accolades from all of the audience and are among the best films of Bollywood.
It is a serious film with a performance based dramatization. It is being seen that young audience is drifting towards the comedy flick Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive that also released today on box office. But on the happy side the mature audience and biographical loving public went for Aligarh. How so ever we cannot say that this flick is giving any competition or making high income but we can also not say that it is a total loss.
On its first day, Aligarh has done a business of around 1.5 crore* as released on low numbers of screens. We expect that in the later weekend this flick might do better business and pick up height on box office. Audience reviews regarding this venture is mixed but seems to be entertained by the issue brought up in the film.

日時:12月22日、14:45 – 16:15 (4限)
講師:Mr. Arash Khodaparastsichani (PhD student, Univ. New South Wales, Australia)
Title:Translation Invariant Linear Quantum Stochastic Networks
This talk is concerned with a translation invariant network of identical quantum stochastic systems subjected to external quantum noise. This network is modelled as an open quantum harmonic oscillator and is governed by a set of linear quantum stochastic differential equations. Similar large-scale networks can be found, for example, in quantum metamaterials and optical lattices. Conditions for stability and bipartite quantum entanglement of nodes of the network are presented. We also consider the problem of designing a similar translation invariant quantum system, which plays the role of a coherent quantum controller, coupled through a bidirectional energy coupling to the plant so as to minimize a mean square performance index of the dynamic variables of the interconnected network in the thermodynamic limit. Finally, the results on stability, entanglement and control design problem are extended to the infinite chain of the linear quantum systems by letting the number of nodes go to infinity.

Creativity abounds at the Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts in Fort Lauderdale. Recently, several residents with unique projects won grants to further their work. The Creative Investment Program (CIP) Grant benefits those whose ventures reach out into the community. It is administered through the Broward County Cultural Division.
"The CIP Grant is unique in that it provides the funding for artists to share their work with the public," said Earl Bosworth, director of the cultural division. While it's investing in individual careers, the agency is building an arts and cultural scene in the local area, he added. Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts resident David Muir received his third CIP Grant. The photographer and author of "Pieces of Jamaica," a coffee-table book, encouraged his neighbors to apply.
First-time loft recipients include Joshua Tiktin, Jeremiah Jenner, and Niki Lopez and Ghenete "G" Wright Muir. Many of the artist's work can be seen in the loft's 1310 Gallery, located in the live, workspace building at 1310 SW Second Court in Fort Lauderdale. The gallery and boutique is open on the third Saturday of each month from 7 to 10 p.m. "Each month a different resident curates," said grantee Joshua Tiktin, known for creating the Sailboat Bend Art Festivals.
Other grantees' work includes Jeremiah Jenner. He conducts fine art photography workshops to guide students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

TBC students who are committed to preparing for life and ministry now have in National Education another resource to meet financial needs allowing them to continue their education uninterrupted. - Mark Elkins
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 03, 2013
Trinity Baptist College joins a growing number of schools providing their students with an affordable option to bridge tuition funding gaps. National Education's SAGE Tuition Advantage rewards students for remaining committed to completing their education with great borrower benefits.
"We are excited to announce a new partnership with National Education. National Education is a leader in providing additional funding sources for students in college," says Mark Elkins, Financial Aid Administrator at Trinity Baptist College. "TBC students who are committed to preparing for life and ministry now have in National Education another resource to meet financial needs allowing them to continue their education uninterrupted."
National Education's SAGE Tuition Advantage is an institutional loan program that can be used to increase enrollment, improve retention, and reduce discount rates, thus increasing net tuition revenue. When students graduate and make their payments on time, 25% of the original principal balance is forgiven, resulting in a 0% APR financing plan.
This "hybrid" program is a cross between a tuition payment plan and a traditional loan. It is low cost for families, generates cash flow for schools, and is managed by a third party to reduce administrative burden and compliance risk. Colleges make no capital investment and pay no up front costs.
Justine Gianandrea, Senior Vice President of National Education, says "Trinity Baptist College has shown that they are concerned about their students' financial wellbeing by offering this low-cost financing plan. We are excited to add TBC as a partner.""
For more information about SAGE Tuition Advantage, please visit http://www.sagetuitionadvantage.com.
National Education, established in 1988, is a financial solution company sharply focused on developing, marketing, originating and servicing education financial products. National Education has received the "Exceptional Performer" designation from the U.S. Department of Education.
Trinity Baptist College, founded in 1974, is an Independent Baptist ministry. It is a private, coeducational college, accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. Its programs are designed to equip students educationally as they prepare for their future.
