HBO without cable TV
(Martin Peers @ wsj.com) Thanks to a perverse mix of regulatory requirements and promotional incentives on the part of my pay TV provider, Verizon Communications, I can report a triumph of the modern media age: I have become a cord cutter who is getting HBO.
Here is how I did it. When I called Verizon recently to disconnect my phone and TV, sticking only with broadband, the customer service representative persuaded me to keep 20 "basic" channels – such as the broadcast networks – in exchange for a $5 a month discount off my broadband price of $84.99 (pricey, but for the ultrafast 75 mbps speed tier).
In other words, Verizon was paying me to keep some video service, surely a calculated choice that I might one day decide to upgrade to a richer package of channels. At the very least, Verizon could continue to count me as a video subscriber, a metric that is closely followed on Wall Street.
Only problem is, it's something of an artifice. As I gave up my set-top boxes, the only way I can see these channels is through a digital cable-ready TV, which I don't own.
Not that it matters. I could pull those channels down with an antenna if I wanted. I only agreed to include them in the package because it reduced the price I'm paying for broadband.
[Do you want to save on your TV and Internet package? Click to get quotes from providers in your area now.]
As it turns out, though, my decision to accept the channels also allows me to keep getting HBO. The 1992 Cable Act says that cable operators cannot sell HBO to a customer unless that customer has already signed up for the basic tier of channels. So without those local channels that I'm (not) paying for, I wouldn't have a chance of signing up for HBO.
So I called Verizon and not only did the company say yes to HBO but they signed me up at a special HBO promotional rate of $10 a month for 12 months, a 50% discount available currently.
Similar deals are available elsewhere. Comcast Corp has lately been marketing an offer it calls Internet plus: basic TV channels plus HBO plus 25 mbps of Internet. It's a promotional offer aimed at new customers, people primarily interested in the Internet who also want HBO – people in my situation.
There are a couple of differences between Comcast's offer and what I arranged on my own. Most important, Comcast requires subscribers to its package to have a TV set-top box so they can see the TV channels. For one thing, that gives those consumers access not only to those channels, but Comcast's extensive array of video on demand content, which makes a future upgrade much more feasible.
[Ready to upgrade your TV and Internet package? Click to compare quotes from providers in your area now.]
But I don't have a set-top box. The FiOS representative told me that I wouldn't be able to receive HBO on the TV without a $6.99 adapter but she didn't force the issue when I said I only wanted to watch HBO via HBO Go, the mobile application HBO offers to its subscribers (and which come with my Apple TV device). So there's no chance I'll be tempted to upgrade my video package to something more substantive.
All that matters is that the HBO Go application on my screen now works. My children were thrilled, my son even telling me that the "HBO-shaped hole in my heart will be filled." On the weekend, I toggled between Netflix and HBO Go, checking out the different array of movies. I ended up watching "Hannah and Her Sisters" on HBO Go, an old favorite. It worked just as well as HBO used to on traditional cable.
So far, I couldn't claim to be saving boatloads of money – maybe $40 a month, not peanuts. But finally I'm only paying for what I watch, which is the point. That in my mind is value for money.
Update: I asked Verizon for a comment. A spokesman says that Verizon doesn't provide incentives for people to have basic TV channels. He says the $5 discount was due to my retaining two services – local TV and Internet – rather than dropping to Internet-only.

Media ReleasesChatswood is bringing the true meaning of Lunar New Year to Sydney
14 January 2019
On Saturday 16th of February at 6.30pm, Chatswood will transform into a hub of cultural festivities with the inaugural Lunar New Year Twilight Parade. The festive parade will showcase the exciting fanfare of a traditional Chinese New Year street parade and its meaning of good fortune for the New Lunar Year ahead.
Beginning at The Chatswood Interchange then walking through Chatswood Mall and down Victoria Avenue to Bertram Street, Chatswood will come alive with a celebration of lion dances, drummers and the God of Prosperity.
The parade is one of the major highlights of the Chatswood Year of the Pig Festival, a three week-long cultural festival running from the 29th of January to the 19th of February 2019, hosted by Willoughby City Council. The festival will bring Sydney into the New Year in true Chinese style - with luck, prosperity and good health for all. It will celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the Chatswood area and wider Sydney.
With understanding comes appreciation - here are some of the attractions visitors can expect to see at the Lunar New Year Twilight Parade, and the meaning behind each of these traditional components:
1. Lion dances to ward off evil.
A celebration dating back over a thousand years, martial arts performers mimic lion's movements while dressed in larger than life lion costumes. Performing to the sounds of drums and gongs; this flamboyant and acrobatic performance wards off evil spirits, bringing good luck and fortune. Entertaining for adults and children alike, this traditional Lunar New Year performance is a cultural event not to be missed.
2. Drums to create chaos.
The drummers present at the parade will lead the festivities with music and rhythm, accompanying the lion dancers to complete the experience of a genuine Lunar New Year parade. While the drums add to the musical sensations, they have another extremely important purpose in the festival. They create chaos and discourage spirits with ill intent, making way for good luck in the New Year.
3. God of Prosperity to bring good fortune into the New Year.
Lunar New Year is celebrated to bring luck, prosperity and good health for all. At this time the God of Poverty is sent off in Chinese culture to drive away bad luck and poverty and the God of Prosperity is invited into the year as a beacon of hope to improve peoples' lives with wealth, good fortune and protection.
"We are thrilled to host the Lunar New Year Twilight Parade for the first time in Chatswood," Willoughby City Council Mayor Gail Giles-Gidney said. "Visitors can expect to be amazed as they experience memorable performances inspired by a traditional Lunar New Year street parade. Senses will be heightened as the sounds of drums, the sights of dancers and bright costumes, and the energy of the coming New Year take over the streets of Chatswood."
The Lunar New Year Twilight Parade is a free event.
Chatswood Year of the Pig Festival is brought to you by Willoughby City Council and supported by Precinct Partner General Chao, Golden Sponsors Chatswood Interchange, HKETO Sydney, Mercedes-Benz North Shore, Westfield Chatswood and cultural support from ACIAC and the Chinese Cultural Centre.

Today little miss Rowan Olivia is two years old and, once again, I can't believe how fast the year's gone by. It seems like she's drastically growing and changing every day now and it's strange to realize how much more of a little girl she is than a baby. I wish I could slow down time or even just stop it, but at least our awareness of how little time we have with a toddler keeps us in the moment and we'll be sure to cherish the coming years just as much as this last one.
Happy birthday Rowan! We love you so much.

A group of high ranking retired officers from Israel's military and security establishment has a plan for keeping Israel safe while holding the door open for an eventual two-state solution.
This was the message brought to Toronto Jewish audiences on May 16 and 17 by Michael Koplow, Director of the Israel Policy Forum, the American partner for the Commanders for Israel's Security. Koplow spoke at Toronto's Darchei Noam Synagogue, as well as at a more intimate luncheon gathering, both events hosted by Canadian Friends of Peace Now.
The Commanders is a group of 270 former generals (85% of all retired Israeli generals), as well as top retired staff from the IDF, Mossad and Shin Bet, deeply concerned about the weaknesses in Israel's current security policies and the slide towards a one-state reality. They have put together a comprehensive plan to address these concerns in a document entitled Security First (for full document READ HERE.).
Koplow pointed out that the Commanders group sees no prospects for an early Israel-Palestine peace settlement, because the leaders on both sides are very far from ready to make the necessary compromises. As for President Trump's talk of the "ultimate deal," Koplow said the chances of that happening soon are "very,very low". Therefore, interim measures are necessary to deal with both the here and now and the desired end game.
One of the important elements in the Commanders' plan addresses the issue of gaps in the security fence (actually a series of fences and walls) Israel has built to limit terror attacks. A full 39 kilometres of the fence have not been completed — and this is neither inconsequential nor accidental. The Israeli right has resisted closing the gaps, for to do so would likely preclude further settlement east of the barrier — particularly expansion in the Ma'ale Adumim and Gush Etzion areas. But the gaps have allowed more terrorists and illegal weapons to slip into Israel than would otherwise have been the case.
The Commanders' plan not only calls for the fence to be completed, but also for a unilateral Israeli settlement freeze east of the fence. Expansion would be permitted only within the settlement blocs and then only in already built-up areas. However, some minor adjustments to the barrier's route are necessary to prevent provocative expansion near existing border settlements — expansion that would severely prejudice the territorial contiguity of a future Palestinian state. And without territorial contiguity, a credible Palestinian state could not emerge, which would be highly detrimental to Israel's long term security.
The Commanders' proposed unilateral settlement freeze should not be confused with a unilateral withdrawal such as occurred in Gaza. Instead, under Security First, the IDF would remain in the West Bank until a final status agreement can be achieved. The plan does not stipulate a Palestinian quid pro quo to the proposed settlement freeze because Israel's security needs alone dictate the necessity for a freeze. It should not be contingent on Palestinian Authority actions or inactions.
Another of the Commanders' recommendations concerns Palestinian housing. Under the Oslo Agreement, the West Bank is divided into areas A,B and C. With a small shift between areas B and C, the Palestinians would be able to legally build a significant amount of new housing — homes that are currently deemed illegal and hence demolished by Israeli authorities. The status quo harms the Palestinian economy and the lives of its citizens, playing into the hands of Hamas, but also jeopardizing cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian security forces. A small zoning change could turn a lose-lose situation into a win-win confidence building measure.
The Commanders group stresses the need for a two-state solution as the only way going forward to keep Israel both democratic and largely Jewish, with a clear and recognized border. While not on the immediate agenda, the two-state solution must be implemented without too much delay, as demographics are not on Israel's side. Security First envisions Israel retaining about 3.6% of the West Bank (the carefully designated border settlement blocs) and compensating the Palestinians via land swaps in a final status agreement. This means Ariel — an Israeli settlement bloc deep in the heart of Palestine — would not remain part of Israel. Such a concession is necessary if the Palestinians are to have a territorially contiguous, though largely demilitarized, state.
Canadians will have a chance to hear more about the Commanders' plan when CFPN brings its head, Maj. Gen. Amnon Reshef (res.) to Canada in the fall. Stay tuned.

Alwan for the Arts Presents
The Power Of Nightmares A Documentary by Adam Curtis
Part 1 - Baby it's Cold Outside
Thursday, May 4, 2006, 7:30 PM
"In the past politicians promised to create a better world. They had different ways of achieving this but their power came from the optimistic visions they offered their people. Those dreams failed and today people have lost faith in ideologies. Increasingly politicians are seen as managers of public life. But now, they have discovered a new role that restores their power and authority. Instead of delivering dreams, politicians now promise to deliver us from nightmares…"
"A sprawling, intellectually ambitious documentary about the political phenomenon usually referred to in journalistic shorthand as the war on terror." -- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"As partisan filmmaking it is often brilliant and sometimes hilarious." -- J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE
"Adam Curtis has become the most exciting documentary filmmaker of our time. He's at once a psychologist, a historian, a journalist, a wizard of images, and a fearlessly incisive cultural detective who delves beneath the hidden myths of the modern world." -- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Against The War on Terror (www.againstwot.com) presents Adam Curtis's daring BBC documentary on the causes of the war on terror. Showing publicly for the first time in New York City, this challenging take on contemporary politics will be followed by a discussion on the politics of fear and conspiracy theory.

Guru Energy Drink Review
Cost: $1.99
Cost Per Ounce:$0.13
Active Ingredients:Guarana, Echinacea, Panax ginseng, stevia leaf
Taste Rating:8.8
Kick Rating:9.0
Final Judgment Rating:8.9
Energy Drink Ratings Explained
Guru Energy Drink Review:
Well I originally reviewed the Guru Lite Energy Drink in January 2008 and I was quite pleased with the taste and kick. So today I will be reviewing the original Guru Energy Drink in a 12 ounce slim can (also available in 8.3 ounces). I still don't know a whole lot about the Guru Energy Drink besides the fact that it is 100% natural, contains no preservatives and that they recently they introduced a bunch of newer flavors including iced tea. So stay tuned for those reviews, but for the meantime let's see how the original Guru Energy Drink performs in the taste and kick tests.
Guru Energy Drink Review: Taste
Right off the bat the "all natural - no preservative" taste was quite unique. Is it citrus or is it cherry? I really could not decide so I will call it a citrus based taste followed by a cherry aftertaste, which in my opinion is better than a medicinal aftertaste! This one is mildly carbonated and when poured comes out clear. As mentioned before the cherry aftertaste is not too bad, but after a couple more sips I did notice a slight medicinal aftertaste, but still pretty much overshadowed by a cherry flavor. Very good for an all natural energy drink. Taste Rating - 8.8
Guru Energy Drink Review: Kick
So the all natural, no preservative flavor scores some pretty good marks, but will they hold up in the kick category as well? Well there is about 145 milligrams of naturally occurring caffeine (12 ounces) along with a 1285 milligram blend of Guarana seed extract, Echinacea flower extract, Panax ginseng extract, Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract and stevia leaf extract. That's a lot of extracts and to be honest I am not going to look all of them up to see what they mean. I do know that the kick supplied whether it be from extract or not, was pretty damn good. So if you are looking for more of a natural kick then give the Guru Energy Drink a try. Kick Rating - 9.0
Guru Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Good taste and a good kick. It's also all natural and has no preservatives. To be honest I was not expecting this much from this drink; however, I have been wrong in the past (think this might be my third time now). I can't wait to try the other flavors as well, so stay tuned for the review of them. Final Judgment - 8.9

WASHINGTON — President Obama will attempt today to calm a rising chorus of criticism of his policies on detention and interrogation, in a speech reminding Americans that strong national security and adherence to laws and national values are not mutually exclusive.
Beyond this lofty reassurance, senior administration officials said, Obama will also repeat the case he made on his third day in office that the Bush administration's system of dealing with "enemy combatants" was not sustainable.
Four months ago he announced his intention to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba; release, transfer abroad or try all its remaining inmates; and outlaw the harsh interrogation techniques he defined as torture, but the implementation of those executive orders has proved far more complicated than he expected.
To the frustration of a White House that claims the moral high ground, virtually every detainee-related decision Obama has made since then — from the release of classified Bush administration descriptions of how to waterboard terrorism suspects to the refusal to support the release of photographs depicting detainee abuse — has provoked a hailstorm of criticism from some or all of those who initially approved his policies.
Congressional dissatisfaction peaked Wednesday when the Senate joined the House in overwhelmingly rejecting, 90-6, Obama's request for funds to shutter the Guantánamo facility until he explains what he plans to do with its 240 occupants. Lawmakers of both parties spoke out against imprisoning or releasing any of the detainees in the United States.
In a move that is likely to further inflame lawmakers, a Justice Department task force reviewing the detainee cases has decided to send the first Guantánamo prisoner to the United States for civil trial. An administration official said that Ahmed Ghailani, an alleged al-Qaida operative indicted in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, will be tried in New York. Ghailani is a Tanzanian, captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transferred to Guantánamo with other "high-value" prisoners in 2006.
Their concerns gained credibility when FBI Director Robert Mueller, in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, agreed that detainees' presence in this country could pose a threat, and when details leaked of a Pentagon finding that nearly 14 percent of the 534 detainees who have left Guantánamo since it opened in 2002 may have subsequently engaged in terrorist activities.
As Congress dug in its heels, Obama told human rights leaders at a White House meeting that he will try in a speech today to "regain the initiative" on the detainee issue, which has emerged as one of his most troublesome inheritances.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama will cover detainee and detention policy in his speech. "Military commissions is discussed; photos, state secrets, transparency and protecting our national security all are topics that he will discuss," Gibbs said. He said Obama will return to the two themes that have guided his decision-making on detainees — the reclaiming of America's good name as a country that observes its own and international laws and the protection of national security.
What Obama will not do, however, is provide a detailed outline of which of the remaining Guantánamo prisoners will be released or transferred to other countries and under what conditions, and which will be tried in U.S. civil courts or in Bush-era military commissions, which the administration announced last week it will revamp and reconvene. The issue is being discussed by an administration task force that is due to report in July.
"We share Congress' belief that before resources are given for a project, that they need and deserve a more detailed plan," Gibbs said. But he skirted questions about why the administration had asked for $80 million to close Guantánamo before it had a plan in place.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, who sponsored the amendment that blocked the funds, said it was "not a referendum on closing Guantánamo. Instead, it should serve as a reality check since, at this time, the administration has not yet forwarded a coherent plan for closing the prison."
Led by the Justice Department, the administration task force has so far cleared 30 prisoners for release and expects more to be added to the list. But a refusal to accept any detainees in this country would probably frustrate U.S. efforts to persuade other nations to take any.

So you want to experience all the great apps and games on an Apple iDevice, but don't want to commit to a new two-year cell phone contract or plunk down at least $500 for an iPad? You're in luck! Apple's iPad mini starts at a more affordable $329, and the latest generation iPod touch – which has the 4-inch screen size and Retina Display of the iPhone 5 – can be had for $299.
So what are the best apps to download on these devices (with or without a data plan?)? Start with these five.
Podcasts (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
While podcasts don't have the same pop-cultural cachet as apps, the digital audio files that can be downloaded through iTunes are a godsend to talk radio junkies and anyone who appreciates the spoken word. From past episodes of This American Life and Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me! to comedy programs like The Nerdist and WTF with Marc Maron, to long-form interviews from your favorite sports commentators, there are Podcasts that appeal to virtually any interest. Last year Apple launched a standalone Podcast app that makes it dead simple to manage the programs in your feed, and easier to find new ones you never knew existed. With a Wi-Fi connection, it should take only a few seconds to download hour-long programs. This enables you to carry around a library of commercial-free conversations and entertainment wherever you may travel.
Bluefire Reader (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
If you are a dedicated user of a particular e-reader like Amazon's Kindle or the NOOK by Barnes & Noble, then by all means download those apps for free on your iDevice. You can sync your account information right away, and read the same book or publication across several devices. The limitation of those services, however, is they only accommodate books you purchase through them. The Bluefire Reader application is more universal in nature, and can support books and other documents published on the ePUB and PDF platforms. You can also adjust settings for font size, annotations, highlighting and more.
Zen Pinball (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
You don't have to be a hardcore gamer to understand and appreciate a little pinball tilt. This is the same old basic pinball we all know and love, but with some bells and whistles exclusive to video games. Tap either side of the screen to activate the respective flipper and shake the phone to shake the table. It's pretty simple. The tables themselves are highly interactive, and even bring you to various side and mini games outside of the main game. There really isn't much I can tell you about the gameplay except to say that it's very well done and superbly captures the physics and feel of actual pinball.
Epicurious (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
Don't have enough room in your place to store your collection of classic cookbooks? While most recipes are available online, it's not very practical to place your laptop next to a chopping block when preparing a meal. Thankfully, there are apps like Epicurious, which curates more than 30,000 different recipes from the likes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet and other Conde Nast properties.
Songza (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
From Pandora to Slacker to Spotify, there are plenty of wonderful music discovery services you can access portable devices and via the Internet. All of those are worthy downloads, and provide hours of free (albeit commercial-infused) music and entertainment. Songza differentiates from the mix by offering a highly curated selection of mixes, designed to appeal to different moods and times of the day. After downloading Songza, it won't take too long to understand why it rocks.

Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures, which offer massive parallelism coupled with the capability of undergoing run-time reconfiguration, are gaining attention in order to meet not only the increased computational demands of high-performance embedded systems, but also to fulfill the need of adaptability to functional requirements of the application. This thesis focuses on the programming aspects of such coarse-grained reconfigurable computing devices, including the relevant computation models that are capable of exposing different kinds of parallelism inherent in the application and the ability of these models to capture the adaptability requirements of the application. The thesis suggests the occam-pi language for programming of a broad class of coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures as an intermediate language; we call it intermediate, since we believe that the applicationprogramming is best done in a high-level domain-specific language. The salient properties of the occam-pi language are explicit concurrency with built-in mechanisms for interprocessorcommunication, provision for expressing dynamic parallelism, support for the expression of dynamic reconfigurations, and placement attributes. To evaluate the programming approach, a compiler framework was extended to support the language extensions in the occam-pi language, and backends were developed to target two different coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures. XPP and Ambric. The results on XPP reveal that the occam-pi based implementations produce comparable throughput to those of NML programs, while programming at a much higher level of abstraction than that of NML. Similarly the two occam-pi implementations of autofocus criterion calculation targeted to the Ambric platform outperform the CPU implementation by factors of 11-23. Thus, the results of the implemented case-studies suggest that the occam-pi language based approach simplifies the development of applications employing run-time reconfigurable devices without compromising the performance benefits.
In order to meet the increased computational demands of, e.g., multimedia applications, such as video processing in HDTV, and communication applications, such as baseband processing in telecommunication systems, the architectures of reconfigurable devices have evolved to coarse-grained compositions of functional units or program controlled processors, which are operated in a coordinated manner to improve performance and energy efficiency. In this survey we explore the field of coarse-grained reconfigurable computing on the basis of the hardware aspects of granularity, reconfigurability, and interconnection networks, and discuss the effects of these on energy related properties and scalability. We also consider the computation models that are being adopted for programming of such machines, models that expose the parallelism inherent in the application in order to achieve better performance. We classify the coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures into four categories and present some of the existing examples of these categories. Finally, we identify the emerging trends of introduction of asynchronous techniques at the architectural level and the use of nano-electronics from technological perspective in the reconfigurable computing discipline.
The growing trend towards adoption of flexible and heterogeneous, parallel computing architectures has increased the challenges faced by the programming community. We propose a method to program an emerging class of reconfigurable processor arrays by using the CSP based programming model of occam-pi. The paper describes the extension of an existing compiler platform to target such architectures. To evaluate the performance of the generated code, we present three implementations of the DCT algorithm. It is concluded that CSP appears to be a suitable computation model for programming a wide variety of reconfigurable architectures.

Recently we proposed occam-pi as a high-level language for programming massively parallel reconfigurable architectures. The design of occam-pi incorporates ideas from CSP and pi-calculus to facilitate expressing parallelism and reconfigurability. The feasability of this approach was illustratedby building three occam-pi implementations of DCT executing on an Ambric. However, because DCT is a simple and well studied algorithm it remained uncertain whether occam-pi would also be effective for programming novel, more complex algorithms.
In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of occam-pi for expressing various degrees of parallelism by implementinga significantly large case-study of focus criterion calculation inan autofocus algorithm on the Ambric architecture. Autofocus is a key component of synthetic aperture radar systems. Two implementations of focus criterion calculation were developedand evaluated on the basis of performance. The comparison of the performance results with a single threaded software implementation of the same algorithm show that the throughput of the two implementations are 11x and 23x higher than the sequential implementation despite a much lower (9x) clock frequency. The two designs are, respectively, 29x and 40x moreenergy efficient.

The adoption of run-time reconfigurable parallel architectures for high-performance embedded systems is constrained by the lackof a unified programming model which can express both parallelism and reconfigurability. We propose to program an emerging class of reconfigurable processor arrays by using the programming model of occam-pi and describe how the extensions of channel direction specifiers, mobile data, dynamic process invocation, and process placement attributes can be used to express run-time reconfiguration in occam-pi. We present implementations of DCT algorithm to demonstrate the applicability of occam-pi to express reconfigurability. We concluded that occam-pi appears to be a suitable programming model for programming run-time reconfigurable processor arrays.
Over the years reconfigurable computing devices such as FPGAs have evolved from gate-level glue logic to complex reprogrammable processing architectures. However, the tools used for mapping computations to such architectures still require the knowledge about architectural details of the target device to extract efficiency. A study of the Mobius language and tools is presented in this paper, with a focus on generated hardware performance. A number of streaming and memory-intensive applications have been developed and the results have been compared with the corresponding implementations in VHDL and a behavioral hardware description language. Based upon experimental evidences, it is concluded that Mobius, a minimal parallel processing language targeted for reconfigurable architectures, enhances productivity in terms of design time and code maintainability without considerably compromising performance and resources.

Recently we proposed occam-pi as a high-levellanguage for programming coarse grained reconfigurable architectures. The constructs of occam-pi combine ideas from CSPand pi-calculus to facilitate expressing parallelism, communication, and reconfigurability. The feasability of this approachwas illustrated by developing a compiler framework to compile occam-pi implementations to the Ambric architecture. In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of occam-pif or programing an array of functional units, eXtreme ProcessingPlatform (XPP). This is made possible by extending the compilerframework to target the XPP architecture, including automatic floating to fixed-point conversion. Different implementations of a FIR filter and a DCT algorithm were developed and evaluated on the basis of performance and resource consumption. The reported results reveal that the approach of using occam-pito program the category of coarse grained reconfigurable architectures appears to be promising. The resulting implementations are generally much superior to those programmed in C and comparable to those hand-coded in the low-level native language NML.

This study compares the Hummel Concertos in A Minor, Op. 85 and B Minor, Op. 89 and the Chopin Concertos in E Minor, Op. 11 and F Minor, Op. 21. On initial hearing of Hummel's rarely played concertos, one immediately detects similarities with Chopin's concerto style. Upon closer examination, one discovers a substantial number of interesting and significant parallels with Chopin's concertos, many of which are highlighted in this research project. Hummel belongs to a generation of composers who made a shift away from the Classical style, and Chopin, as an early Romantic, absorbed much from his immediate predecessors in …

Visiting the constituency was once an annual affair for some MPs. It was possible to pass nearly all problems to local councillors. But with the intense media scrutiny and public disenchantment with politicians, MPs' relationships with their constituents have changed out of all recognition. One constituency office accumulated over 9,500 cases on the database between 2005 and last month; and a constituent emailed his MP at 2 am asking for help and again at 6 am saying, "why haven't you answered yet?"
MPs have to face the terror of performing in the chamber. George Bentinck did not speak in debate for two decades in the nineteenth century. These days silence is inconceivable. All MPs feel obliged to express the opinions both of their constituents and their party, and even sometimes their own, and to do so regularly and, if possible, dazzlingly.
John Thurso (MP) told me, "the HoC chamber is a bear-pit. When discussing the big issues, and at PMQs[1], it is like a storm, a great crash on the rocks. No other forum delivers so much adrenalin and demands so much nerve[2]." The gladiatorial battles – between The Chancellor and his Shadow last Tuesday, for example – demands from each command of their own policy and detail of their opponents' failures.

Sheepish Skirting Syndrome~ Winter Weight (38)
Sheepish Skirting Syndrome
Sometimes I wanna be,
That girl again,
I wanna see if it might work out,
Maybe this time.
Some nights it's hard to fight,
Hard to revert to other thoughts,
To ones that wouldn't compromise my heart.
Some how I must not have learned,
Which seems ridiculous considering,
The pain I've gone through to learn,
How to guard my heart.
Is it so impossible,
To hold the key that protects my mind?
Is it unfair to ask of myself,
To just keep calm and be happy?
Maybe it's the fact,
That this time you've begun,
Maybe it's the fact,
That I've never had good self-restrain,
When it comes to what might be love.
Something keeps breaking,
In the self-control department,
Something keeps defeating my attempts at friendship,
And maybe it's you?
Maybe talking to you is a bad idea,
Bad luck, bad for me.
All I know is I just can't,
Cannot do this again,
This twisted sheepish skirting around,
The guessing, the daydreaming,
The useless pathetic pining away,
For someone who is just lonely,
Who keeps talking because he has no one else,
No one else to talk to.
I have lots of friends,
Who I can turn to when in need,
So I don't need him to fuel my romanticism,
I'm just fine with random strangers.
Pathetic Poem
Maybe it's okay to go without writing,
A pathetic poem per week,
Maybe it's okay to write of sunshine,
Of happiness.
I wonder if I can go a week,
Without thinking of something melancholy?
Wonder if I can go a week without,
Thinking of someone,
Of possible romances.
Maybe instead I should focus on my future,
What I'm gonna do,
What I'm gonna be,
But why should I?
When it doesn't make me happy.
Then again, they tell me,
Life isn't rainbows and butterflies,
It's full of hard decisions,
And consequences,
I'll have to make them someday.
Another's Elf Ears
The love of my life,
Will be jealous,
But not possessively so.
Tended To
"Hey baby come to me"
They say,
"Hey baby look at me,"
They say,
But do they really know what they want?
I'm so mixed,
If they are happy then I have no place,
To hold judgment against them,
I just have issues believing,
That anyone can be truly happy,
Feel truly beautiful in that position,
Giving away so much outside,
Is the inside even tended to?
Automatic Delete
It's ridiculous but,
When I saw that they were all gone,
My eyes started to sting,
As I realized I couldn't see your face,
Sometimes I'm still worried,
That you'll hurt yourself,
-and not accidentally.
Sometimes I'm worried you'll go over the edge,
And no one will be able to help you.
Sometimes I'm worried despite this mask of friendship,
That old habits will sink back in,
They'll take over and you'll be my weakness,
Winter Weight
It's not the warmth of summer for me,
The heat wave,
That makes other people go crazy,
And fall in a tizzy,
It's winter;
The chill seeping in my bones,
Cooping me up inside,
Pathetic and lonely,
Just clawing at the bit,
Missing the warmth of a someone's hand,
The heat from a kiss.
This cold will make me go crazy,
Turn every friend into a possibility,
My imagination will go wild,
Little gestures of kindness,
Interpreted as flirtation,
Little comments of expression,
Translated into desperate attempts to tell me,
That they are madly in love with me.
I wish I could smack myself,
Slap sense into me.
I don't need any company,
I just need to be happy with myself,
Find confidence in myself,
And try not to fuss about gaining winter weight,
Get over it girl!

|Identification of patients at high risk for adverse coronary events while awaiting routine coronary angioplasty.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7727179 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Identification of patients at risk for progression of coronary stenosis and adverse clinical events while awaiting coronary angioplasty is desirable. OBJECTIVE: To determine the standard clinical or angiographic variables, or both, present at initial angiography associated with the development of adverse coronary events (unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and angiographic total coronary occlusion) in patients awaiting routine percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Consecutive male patients on a waiting list for routine PTCA. Routine clinical details were obtained at initial angiography. Stenosis severity was measured using computerised angiography. OUTCOME MEASURES: Development of one or more of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or angiographic total coronary occlusion while awaiting PTCA were recorded as an adverse event. RESULTS: Some 214 of 219 patients underwent a second angiogram. One had a fatal myocardial infarction and four (2%) were lost to follow up. Fifty patients (23%) developed one or more adverse events (myocardial infarction five, unstable angina 35, total coronary occlusion 23) at a median (range) interval of 8 (3-25) months. Twenty (57%) of the 35 patients with unstable angina developed adverse events compared with 30 (17%) of the 180 with stable angina (P = 0.0001). Plasma triglyceride concentration was 2.6 (1.2) mmol/l in patients with adverse coronary events compared with 2.2 (1.1) mmol/l in those without such events (P < 0.05). Patients with adverse events were younger than those without (54 (9) years v 58 (9) years, P < 0.01). The relative risk of an adverse event in patients with unstable angina and increased plasma triglyceride concentrations was 6.9 compared with those presenting with stable angina and a normal triglyceride concentration (P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that adverse events are not uncommon in patients awaiting PTCA. Patients at high risk for adverse events may be predicted by the presence of acute coronary syndrome, increased concentration of plasma triglyceride, and younger age at the time of the first angiogram.

The Indo is a bit of an institution. It has been around for years and at peak lunch hours you will always see a line out the door.
Located in the quadrangle under the Waldorf Hotel, it's a poky place that discourages eat in. Driven purely by the takeaway trade, the staff are happy and pleasant, which makes the experience that little bit brighter.
I rocked up on a cold and windy day and chose the $10 lunch special – curry + side + drink. There are loads of options to choose from including the Semur (Sweet Soy Pepper with chicken or beef), Tahu Campur (Tofu & seasonal vegetable stir fry) and Red Curry. I went with the red curry with a corn fritter on the side.
Lunch is presented in a nifty container separating the curry and the rice. I have been to Indo on many a cold lunchtime and loved it. Sadly, I was a bit let down on the day of the review. Although the fritter was soft and tasty, the rice was gluggy and pasty and the red curry (normally rich and full of flavour) was milky and tasteless.
This was a real shame. I would still recommend Indo for Cheap Eats as previous experience tells me it was probably an off day. I would be interested to hear about your own experiences.
This is the last of the current series. Next week we will be launching a Business Lunch Series with great places to go have a private business lunches without totally blowing the budget.

The October 18, 2004 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE's RAW brand, which took place on October 18, 2004 at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois.
Edge bested Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match fewer than 24 hours before the fans would place one of the three in the ring against World Heavyweight Champion Triple H at Taboo Tuesday. The Cerebral Assassin was at ringside offering his thoughts and analysis, but we saw none of his usual mind games. There was just no way for him to focus his aggression with three different potential challengers. Instead, The Game watched and waited — hoping the three would damage each other beyond repair so close to the pay-per-view — as more than a million individual votes were cast.
When Edge rolled up Benoit for the three-count, using the ropes for leverage, we had a Triple Threat winner. But it was still in the fans' hands as to who would win the ultimate prize: a chance to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at Taboo Tuesday.
A momentous RAW also saw Shelton Benjamin win a Six-Man Elimination Match for the Taboo Tuesday endorsement of none other than Mr. McMahon himself. But Shelton proved to be much more concerned with the votes of the public, rather than the singular vote of Mr. McMahon. One man who hoped to impress the Peepulation going into Taboo Tuesday was Christian, but he fell victim to Benjamin's T-Bone Suplex.
Chris Jericho may have used the results of that match as a window into what awaits him at Taboo Tuesday, where he had 15 different possible opponents. That is, if he had the energy to watch a match after giving his all in a tag-team battle earlier in the evening.
After taking a vicious clothesline from the animal Batista, Y2J simply had to tap when Flair locked in the Figure Four. From that match Jericho got a look at Batista, a big man who hopes to get a shot at the Intercontinental Championship at Taboo Tuesday. Jericho's partner on RAW, Randy Orton got one last chance to have it out with Flair before the fans placed them in one of three precarious circumstances at the pay-per-view, a Falls Count Anywhere Match, a Submission Match or a Steel Cage Match.
And Gene Snitsky sent a clear message to Kane by way of Eugene on Monday night. First, Snitsky defeated Eugene after a pump-handle slam. Then, the unapologetic newcomer blasted William Regal with a steel chair. At Taboo Tuesday, it would be a Weapon of Choice Match between Snitsky and Kane, and WWE fans decided if a steel chair, a chain or a lead pipe was totally legal.
- Numbers in parentheses indicate the length of the match.
- (c) refers to the champion(s) heading into the match.
- Snitsky defeated Eugene (3:25)
- Victoria & Nidia & Stacy Keibler defeated Trish Stratus & Molly Holly & Gail Kim (3:30)
- Evolution (Ric Flair & Batista) defeated Randy Orton & Chris Jericho (15:29)
- Shelton Benjamin defeated Christian, The Hurricane, Tajiri, Rhyno, and The Coach (11:03)
- Edge defeated Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match (13:18)

On Monday, House Bill 242— Georgia's comprehensive juvenile reform and statute rewrite legislation — was approved by the state's General Assembly.
Last week, HB 242 passed a Senate vote; earlier this week, the House unanimously approved the Senate's changes to the bill, passing the legislation by a 167-0 tally.
From its introduction to the House up until its latest General Assembly approval, HB 242 has passed through every full legislative and committee vote with unanimous approval from Georgia's legislators.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Wendell Willard (R-Sandy Springs) and Sen. Charlie Bethel, a Republican representing Georgia's 54th district, now heads to the desk of Gov. Nathan Deal — an early proponent of the legislation — who is expected to sign the bill into law.
HB 242 would include more funding for community-based programs, prohibit the jailing of young people for status offenses and separate designated felonies into two different classes of offense, based upon the severity of the crime.
If signed, the changes would take effect beginning Jan. 1, 2014.

Tottenham's first Europa League game was only three days before a crucial Premier League game against Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Sunday. With injury worries, Harry Redknapp was determined to keep his senior players focused on that match without the distraction of travelling to Greece to play PAOK Salonika. He sent out a squad with a number of young players who did themselves and the club proud in a hard earned scoreless draw.
18-man Match Day Squad
The eighteen players in the match day squad for the Europa League game consisted of four players with international experience - Vedran Corluka (Croatia), Sebastien Bassong (Cameroon), Roman Pavlyuchenko (Russia) and Giovani Dos Santos (Mexico), and Premier League experience from Carlo Cudicini, Kyle Walker and Jake Livermore, although the latter two have limited appearances in League football for Spurs. The other players were young players who were looking to gain from the experience of playing for the first team in an important, competitive European match.
Young Players
|Kyle Walker
Jake Livermore (21) made his League debut for Spurs in the game at Old Trafford. It was a testing game for him in central midfield but he acquitted himself well and plays with confidence and has progressed well in the past year. The arrival of Scott Parker meant he was a substitute against Wolves but he has become a part of the Tottenham squad and the European and Cup matches will provide him with excellent experience and opportunities to show his ability.
Andros Townsend (20) has played at full back in the last two European matches. It is not his natural position, being an attacking winger, but he brings those qualities to the team and is constantly looking to take on his man and create attacking chances for the team. He worked hard, covering a lot of ground during a game and wasn't found wanting in the defensive role. When attacking he can run into dead-ends so needs to learn to release the ball earlier when his way is blocked.
Tom Carroll (19) went on loan to Leyton Orient last season. He impressed in their League One team and made his debut in the home game against Hearts. he is a busy player who looks for the ball and is constantly available to take a pass from a colleague. His passing is good and for a lightly made up player he can cope with all the activity of midfield. He tired towards the end of last night's game but that was only to be expected in such a competitive match.
Yago Falque (21) made his Tottenham debut in Greece and showed cleaver touches on the ball. He had a good shot cleared off the line early on and a curling shot in the second half went just wide. He is at the club on loan from Juventus for the coming season and looks a very promising player who will benefit from this experience.
Harry Kane (18) made his debut against Hearts and is the young player most tottenham supporters know about because of his goal scoring in the Academy teams and with Leyton Orient last season. He is a strong lad and very competitive, he works hard and can play as a striker or drop back into midfield. In the first half he played alongside Roman Pavlyuchenko where he had a header saved by the PAOK keeper and was unfortunate to be booked for diving when he should have had a penalty. After half-time he played wide on the left where he didn't contribute as much but he worked hard and covered back in defence as required. Late on he had the confidence to take a free-kick which he hit with power but went just over the bar. He, again, didn't receive much support from his striking partner so he would benefit from time in the team with a player who is more inclined to link up and play wit him as a striking partnership.
Ryan Fredericks (18) who made his debut in the previous Europa league match replaced Falque on the right. A very pacy winger, he needs to improve his decision making for the final ball.
Dean Parrett (19) made a return to first team football for the last few seconds of the game when replacing Giovani. He had appeared in the previous Europa League campaign in 2008 - 09 but has been out on loan since then. Just returning from injury, he played for the England U-20s team in the World Cup in Columbia during the summer. A midfield player of whom much is expected he works hard and is skilful on the ball. Needs match practice in the coming months to show his value to the club.
Jack Barthram (17) The youngest player in the squad, he is an attacking full-back and was a member of the Academy NextGen Series team which defeated Inter Milan 7 - 1 at Leyton Orient last month.
Kevin Stewart (17) A defender who can play at full back or in central defence, he captained the Academy team which won the Eurofoot tournament in Belgium during the summer.
Jake Nicholson (19) He made his debut as a substitute against Hearts and was very composed in midfield.
Alex Pritchard (18) An attacking midfield player, he scored twice in the win over Inter Milan, including a great free-kick in the second half.
The team had an average age of 23 years and that included 38 year old goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini. Leave out 38 year old Cuducini from the calculations and it is reduced to 21 years 6 months. These games are an excellent experience for the young players and some will be hoping for another game on Tuesday at Stoke City in the Carling Cup and against Shamrock Rovers in the next Europa league game. The manager sent out a balanced team with the experience in defence to support the younger players. With a more experienced midfield player or a striker more inclined to work with his team mates, they might even have managed a win to reward their hard work and enthusiasm. A good night for the young players who brought credit to the club for their disciplined performance against a difficult team with considerable experience in European competition.

Posts Tagged 'IRS'
In 1964 Bob Dylan sang "The times, they are a changin'". Those words ring as true today as they did back then. This past week, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the United States Department of Treasury released a joint ruling that stated:
Same sex couples, legally married in jurisdictions that recognize their marriages, will be treated as married for federal tax purposes.
Whether you currently live in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage, or one that does not makes no difference, the federal government of the United States of America will recognize your marriage for all tax purposes.
So what does that mean? It means that all legally married same-sex couples will have clear and unambiguous tax filing guidance across the country. So, if any same-sex married couple wants to move to another state, any state, their status for filing federal taxes won't change. It also provides access to all the benefits, protections and responsibilities available under federal tax law. This policy change by the IRS and Treasury Department also means that when legally married same-sex couples file their taxes, every category that allows a distinction for being married, including; personal and dependency deductions, contributing to an IRA or other qualified plan, the earned income credit, child tax credit, employee benefits and standard deductions, the same-sex married couple can file either married, filing jointly or married, filing separately.
There's even more good news: the IRS has a three-year "look-back" policy, so as a same-sex couple that has been legally married for any of that time, you are entitled to file amended returns for each year that qualifies. There is no obligation to file amended returns but it may be well worth it, if it puts more money back in your pocket!
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that this ruling DOES NOT apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions or similar formal relationships recognized under state laws. Only couples legally married in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, any U.S. territory or a foreign country can benefit from this new rule.
This latest ruling comes on the heels of an announcement by the Department of Defense (DOD) extending benefits to same-sex spouses and civilian employees. There is rapid change happening in how the federal government is viewing same-sex marriages and it doesn't look as if it is going to stop here. Important decisions await in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and a host of other regulatory areas that factor in one's marital status.
The challenge will be for married same-sex couples to navigate all of these changes in the law to maximize the benefit to them and take full advantage as they manage their estate planning to ensure that their families are taken care of and their wishes are carried out.
At Tiboni & Tiboni, we can help you understand the changes, explain how they affect you and your family and help you create an estate plan that maximizes these new benefits. The times they are a-changin', with more changes to come. Every family is unique. Let us assist you, in these exciting times, in crafting a custom estate plan that addresses your family's specific needs.

This is probably my first post for the blog since the new year begun. Yes…yes…it is already on the second week of the second month of 2014, yet I'm still bother to post something about last year. Well, what can I say, I'm a very sentimental person or perhaps 2013 leaves a thousand memorable moments which makes me hard to let it go haha.
Truth is, I'm still mourning my Canon 60D. My best blogging and shooting companion. My 60D was inactive and have to be sent for repair since it started failing last November. Ever since that, I have to decline a lot of event invitations and missed a lot of cover stories. Diagnosing on the symptoms, it seems like the circuit board is failing and need to be replaced…or else, its going to camera heaven.
Since then, I resort to my mobile phone to record my travels and everyday moments. I have to admit that going mobile sometimes wasn't a bad idea after all. But, relying only with the 6Mp resolution and limited lighting options on my mobile device, I'm taking everything back to basic. I need to watch all my compositions and utilize every available lightings just to make a small impact to every shot. Since my mobile phone's camera doesn't have a shutter priority mode, sometimes I have to use the Burst Mode.
Here are some photos I took during my recent visit to Lundu, Sarawak last December. It was a visit for my cousin's wedding reception. While waiting for the night reception ceremony, my family and I took our time to take a walk at the famous Pandan Beach.
The sightseeing didn't just end there. After enjoying the scenes at Pandan Beach, we extend the visit to Sematan Town which is about 20min drive from Lundu. Approximately 12Km away.
I guess that was the only photo I manage to shoot at Sematan before my battery ran out. Yes, that is the disadvantage of shooting with mobile phone, it easily drains the battery. However, this is just a minor disadvantage where it can be fixed anytime with a Powerbank.
From the above photos, some of you might already know or still wondering what is the app that I use to edit them. It's just Instagram and InstaPlace Pro. I use Instagram to crop and color. Meanwhile, all the captions and texts are from Instaplace. I used to have VSCO and other in-camera apps but I uninstall them because my phone was low on memory.
Now, its your turn to tell me your mobile photo's story 🙂

DIY Arduino
This is the reproduction of the Arduino Mini thought by http://mediascapes.net/wiki/index.php?title=DIY_Arduino
This is a base project for those who need little space or want an embedded arduino in their project. I organized the PCB layout to fit a 33x51mm board. The breadboard still have lots of rows to develop other circuits that can be integrate to your project. Sorry for the extra pin header at J12.
Login to post a comment...hi is there a way to make arduino nano board? or atleast can u tell me how i can go about designing a circuit to run a atmega IC? liek Atmega238P-AU or atmega2560

We set out to find the most unique, adventurous and many times, random things going on in Tampa Bay. We have been here a while and found that falling into a routine is a boring way to live life. As we began to venture out and try new things, we got tons of feedback from people wishing they knew about the fun things we were doing around town. After spending a weekend away, disconnected from technology (OUR WORLD), the two of us got together and created the idea behind Never Have I Ever Tampa Bay. The goal is to give insight and provide feedback about all of the hidden gems in Tampa. Some of the places may be familiar, but others, maybe not so much. We hope you enjoy the journey we have begun and look forward to hearing your feedback. #EverythingLocal #NHIETB
Let us introduce ourselves:
Nicholas is a New Yorker who moved to Tampa back in 2006 to attend college. His goal was to graduate with an undergraduate degree in education and move back to NY to teach. CLEARLY, that never happened! With so much to offer, Tampa has convinced him to stay around for a while.
After a few years of teaching, he went back to school to obtain his Master's Degree in Education. After a few years teaching undergrad classes, he decided to go back to school in pursuit of his doctoral degree in special education. His research interests include how to be inclusive of LGBTQ students in schools. He enjoys mentoring preservice teachers as they prepare for classroooms of their own. When he's not doing all of that and organizing Startup Weekend Tampa Youth, he enjoys testing out new restaurants, uncovering the BEST deal$ in town and exploring everything local with Ryan!
Tampa was calling to Ryan shortly after his graduation from Syracuse University with his Bachelor's Degree in Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises. Ryan grew up in New York but was no stranger to travel. He was ready to continue his education and explore a new city. After four years in Syracuse and studying in Hong Kong for a short time, Ryan was in need of some new adventures, and what better place than where his guy, Nicholas, was commencing his career. When Ryan first relocated he was skeptical about Tampa because he spent so much time commuting to and from the University of South Florida and Harbour Island. After only seeing the limited venues on South Howard and a hand full of places in Ybor City his whole first year, he knew something was wrong. As he was finishing up his Master's Degree in Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies he began to get involved.
He began to organize Mashable Meetups and volunteer as an organizer for Startup Weekend Tampa, he was exposed to many new venues, activities and restaurants. Ryan has always had a love for hospitality and more importantly, food. Ryan did not have four or five years to get to learn about Tampa as Nicholas did throughout college. So after dabbling with indoor rock climbing, bar hopping on the weekends and many other attempts to engage the city, Ryan joined forces with the Nicholas and set out to learn all the hidden treasures, local favorites and most of all about the local cuisine in Tampa.
Ryan spends his days developing, marketing and selling hair care and beauty products that solve problems. He also actively partakes in community technology, entrepreneurship and social events. The rest of his time is spent with Nicholas (mostly), as well as their dog, Dex, finding new things to do and blog about.

We are finally starting to get into some sort of rhythm around here with the new baby and that has included getting back into the garden this past week. I'm sorry to say that I've been rather disappointed with what I've found. We aren't in a drought per se, but the rain has been sporadic and sparse. The only thing that has benefitted from the weird weather has been the eggplants, which I normally cannot seem to grow, but this year they are thriving. The zuchinni and squash have had their blossoms fall off from the heat and thus have not been producing well. And the tomatoes this year are a catastrophe! They start out well, but by the time they've turned red they are suffering from terribly from blossom end rot and are unedible. Luckily, I have the most awesome fried green tomato recipe with an awesome remoulade sauce recipe to go on top . I think this is going to be the only way to get any use out of them this summer, at least until we get some more consistent rain patterns. So, in case you're having the same trouble or perhaps you just want a good fried green tomato recipe, try these out! They are super yummy!
Fried Green Tomatoes
1 c flour
1 c cornmeal
1 tbsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
Beat milk and egg together. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Soak sliced green tomatoes in milk and egg mixture for a few seconds and then dredge in flour mixture. Fry tomatoes and set on paper towel to drain while you make your remoulade sauce.
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp horseradish
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cayenne*
2 scallions
1 tbsp sweet relish
Blend all ingredients well. Pour over fried green tomatoes and serve.
*Please note that you while you can omit the cayenne from both recipes if you are not a fan of hot food, I do not recommend it. You may want to only put in half the cayenne if you are extremely sensitive, but the recipes really lose a lot of their flavor without it.
I hope you enjoy!

Now in his mid-30s, Ashley Wass is still occasionally tagged as a 'young English pianist'. Media, critics and publicists sometimes seem to think the world of music is populated by Peter Pans. But even when he could plead guilty to noteworthy youth, Wass was more often singled out by critics and musicians alike for his exceptional maturity—for his rapt poetry, his commanding but unostentatious sense of structure and musical narrative, for the sheer elegance and sophistication of his piano-playing. Today his maturity is less remarked for the simple reason that it is taken for granted, and is anyway no longer surprising. Having already outlived Schubert, he will soon have outlived Mozart. His stature and his age in combination confer maturity as a given. Like so many of today's artists, he first came to widespread attention on the competition trail. In 1997 he became the first British pianist to win First Prize at the London International Piano Competition and in 2000 he was the second British pianist in twenty years to reach the finals of the Leeds Piano Competition. Yet like many of his colleagues, his feelings on the subject of musical competitions are distinctly ambivalent.

I did download the book Nine of Hearts...
A clever tale of circumstantial evidence, showing how a twist may be given to it by a malicious purpose, and how the truth may be brought out by ingenuity and energy working in the right direction. When the evidence against Edward, "for the wilful murder of his wife, Agues Layton, on the morning of the 26th of March, by the administration of poisonous narcotic's," is brought to an end, we cannot see a loophole of escape. Yet the loophole is pro- vided in due time, and we recognise its possibility. But Edward Layton, who was willing to go to the scaffold sooner than disturb the peace of mind of the lady whom he loved, was such a lover as one does not meet every day.
But on further searching I found many of his numerous novels available for free on Internet Archive. If your interested in reading old Victorian novels this would be a place for you! I have noticed that some of them seem to feature mysteries or court scenes. We can only hope his writing is as good as his sons! Seems the whole family were talented writers!
Have you read any of his books? What did you think?
