You restore my faith in beauty.
(she stops like I've distracted her from something important) What?
You restore my faith in beauty, I'd lost it for awhile but thanks to you I've found it again…
(she looks at me, amused) Okay, so how did I do that?
Oh I dunno, I guess you just showed up. The rest took care of itself, it all kinda happened naturally.
(a sly smile now) So… what do you intend to do about it?
Good question, …I could say that I'd be content to observe you from afar…
( puzzled) Could say?
Yeah, but that would be a lie…
(she laughs) Which part?
All of it… I could never be content observing you anywhere but here, next to me.
(she shakes her hair back from her eyes and looks directly into mine) You're pretty confident, aren't you?
No, I'm just like you are…
(her head pulls back slightly, like my words jolted her) Just like me? How's that?
I'm afraid of what's happened here, where it's leading…
(she nods defiantly) You presume too much. I'm not sure I like this… (she turns as if to go)
I know, I feel the same way. It seems real familiar, though, …doesn't it?
(she relaxes somewhat, looks out from behind the bar at the other patrons milling about… we are surrounded by dozens of pick-up lines but isolated by the moment, she smiles again) Maybe… just a little.
So tell me now, stay or go… this place is a cathedral and my soul must confess either way, …it's still true.
(she pretends to be confused) What is?
You restore my faith in beauty.
(she leans in from across our boundary and kisses me tenderly) Stay awhile then… and thank you (she pulls back seductively) for saying it so eloquently…
My heart commands my words be true, they come easily where you're concerned…
(she squeezes my hand… )

Flying Dutchman poster series by great South African designer Sindosi Nyoni.
"The poster fuses Zulu/Ndebele pattern art, and traditional Nguni gear with retro racing gear, to suggest an Afrofuturist approach within a South African context".
The Dutchmann Racing Poster Portfolio comprises a series of posters commissioned by Dutchmann to commemorate the redesign of a 1968 Porsche 912 "Weekend Racer" and its entry into the 2013 Kalahari Speed Week. The car comprises a contemporary interpretation of a classic Porsche 912 by a series of South African master craftsmen. Accordingly, ten designers (selected by Durban designer Warwick Kay) were briefed to create a contemporary interpretation of a classic racing poster to commemorate the event.
Bound in a handmade, cloth-lined Solander box, signed and individually editioned by Dutchmann, the Racing Poster Portfolio is priced at R3,500 ex Vat and limited to 30 copies. The chosen designers include Matt Kay, Paul Garbett, Clint Campbell, Joh Del, Kronk, Brandt Botes, Sindiso 'R!OT' Nyoni, Michael MacGarry, Skullboy and Warwick Kay.

Title: Temple to cat god found in Egypt
Post by: Major Weatherly on January 24, 2010, 01:33:17 am
Temple to cat god found in Egypt
A statue of the cat goddess Bastet
The temple was filled with statues of Bastet, a once fearsome lion-headed goddess whose image changed over time to a domesticated cat
Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 2,000-year-old temple in Alexandria dedicated to a cat goddess.
The temple is the first trace of the royal quarters of the Ptolemaic dynasty to be revealed in Alexandria.
The find confirms the Greek dynasty of Egyptians continued the worship of ancient animal deities.
Many more ruins of the ancient capital of Hellenistic Egypt lie preserved under the modern city, yet to be unearthed, archaeologists say.
The temple, discovered in the Kom el-Dekkah neighbourhood of the city, is believed to belong to Queen Berenike II, wife of Ptolemy III who ruled Egypt in the third century BC, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities has said.

Moon goddess
The Greek-speaking Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt for almost 300 years, after the foundation of the city by Alexander the Great in 305BC until Queen Cleopatra was ousted by the Romans.
The Temple to Bastet in Alexandria
The temple is the first part of the royal palace to be unearthed
The temple is 60m (200ft) high and 15m (50ft) wide.
Archaeologists found statues of Bastet, worshipped by the Greek-speaking Egyptians as the moon goddess.
For thousands of years the Egyptian Pharaohs believed Bastet was a lion-headed goddess, a relative of the sun-god Ra and a ferocious protector.
But her influence waned as the Pharaohs declined, and the Hellenistic Egyptians resurrected her as the equivalent of the ancient Greek deity Artemis.
Other artefacts were also discovered in the dig, including pots, a Roman water cistern, and the granite statue of a senior official dating from between 205BC to 222BC.

Modern-day Alexandria was built directly on top of the ancient city, and archaeologists say ruins of whole cities, palaces and ships remain to be discovered.
The Ptolemaic kings of Egypt were descended from Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great's most trusted generals during his conquests of Egypt, Persia and his attack on India.
After Alexander's death, Ptolemy returned to Alexandria to become king and his descendants ruled until the Roman leader Octavian - who later became Emperor Augustus - defeated Cleopatra, the last of the Ptolemaic line.
Leading Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass said the temple may have been used as a quarry in later years, as there are a large number of missing blocks.

Yes, Social Media is Powerful. No, It's Not as Powerful as Search.Blog Post: February 09, 2009
I have to disagree with some of your comments.
First, Search isn't a very good way to respond to any consumer need. In fact, searching for answers is quite frustrating for consumers. In fact, SM is far better at answering customer issues/needs in a scalable fashion. Specifically Twitter.
If I (and I know I'm not alone) have an issue with a brand, I tweet it out there. Usually within the hour someone from the brand reaches back and offers to help. Now that is scaleable customer response. You can't do that with SEO because a) there is no response mechanism and b) once you ID an issue, upload and optimize content on your site, you're still many days away from Googgle, etc indexing it.
Agree that companies are jumping on SM just because it is hot. But seriously, how is that different from early 90's web craze and late 90's/early 2000 SEO craze. It is just what companies looking for answers and market share do.

Using SambaRobert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown, Peter Kelly
1st Edition November 1999
1-56592-449-5, Order Number: 4495
416 pages, $34.95
8.6 Miscellaneous Options
Many Samba options are present to deal with operating system issues on either Unix or Windows. The options shown in Table 8.10 deal specifically with some of these known problems. We usually don't change these and we recommend the same to you.
Table 8.10: Miscellaneous Options
numerical (number of minutes)
Specifies the number of minutes of inactivity before a connection should be terminated.
dfree command
string (command)
Used to provide a command that returns disk free space in a format recognized by Samba.
FAT, or
Sets the filesystem type reported by the server to the client.
keep alive
Sets the number of seconds between checks for an inoperative client.
0 (none)
max disk size
numerical (size in MB)
Sets the largest disk size to return to a client, some of which have limits. Does not affect actual operations on the disk.
0 (infinity)
max mux
Sets the maximum number of simultaneous SMB operations that clients may make.
max open files
Limits number of open files to be below Unix limits.
max xmit
Specifies the maximum packet size that Samba will send.
nt pipe support
Turns off an experimental NT feature, for benchmarking or in case of an error.
nt smb support
Turns off an experimental NT feature, for benchmarking or in case of an error.
ole locking compatib-ility
Remaps out-of-range lock requests used on Windows to fit in allowable range on Unix. Turning it off causes Unix lock errors.
panic action
Program to run if Samba server fails; for debugging.
set directory
yes, allows VMS clients to issue
string (fully-qualified command)
Sets the command Samba uses as a wrapper for shell commands.
yes, allows Samba to monitor status for
strict sync
no, ignores Windows applications requests to perform a sync-to-disk.
sync always
yes, forces all client writes to be committed to disk before returning from the call.
strip dot
yes, strips trailing dots from Unix filenames.
8.6.1 deadtime
This global option sets the number of minutes that Samba will wait for an inactive client before closing its session with the Samba server. A client is considered inactive when it has no open files and there is no data being sent from it. The default value for this option is 0, which means that Samba never closes any connections no matter how long they have been inactive. You can override it as follows:[global] deadtime = 10
This tells Samba to terminate any inactive client sessions after 10 minutes. For most networks, setting this option as such will work because reconnections from the client are generally performed transparently to the user.
8.6.2 dfree command
This global option is used on systems that incorrectly determine the free space left on the disk. So far, the only confirmed system that needs this option set is Ultrix. There is no default value for this option, which means that Samba already knows how to compute the free disk space on its own and the results are considered reliable. You can override it as follows:[global] dfree command = /usr/local/bin/dfree
This option should point to a script that should return the total disk space in a block, and the number of available blocks. The Samba documentation recommends the following as a usable script:#!/bin/sh df $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2" "$4}'
On System V machines, the following will work:#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/df $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $3" "$5}'
8.6.3 fstype
This share-level option sets the type of filesystem that Samba reports when queried by the client. There are three strings that can be used as a value to this configuration option, as listed in Table 8.11.
Table 8.11: Filesystem Types
Microsoft Windows NT filesystem
DOS FAT filesystem
Samba filesystem
The default value for this option is
NTFS, which represents a Windows NT filesystem. There probably isn't a need to specify any other type of filesystem. However, if you need to, you can override it per share as follows:[data] fstype = FAT
8.6.4 keep alive
This global option specifies the number of seconds that Samba waits between sending NetBIOS keep-alive packets. These packets are used to ping a client to detect whether it is still alive and on the network. The default value for this option is
0, which means that Samba will not send any such packets at all. You can override it as follows:[global] keep alive = 10
8.6.5 max disk size
This global option specifies an illusory limit, in megabytes, for each of the shares that Samba is using. You would typically set this option to prevent clients with older operating systems from incorrectly processing large disk spaces, such as those over one gigabyte.
The default value for this option is
0, which means there is no upper limit at all. You can override it as follows:[global] max disk size = 1000
8.6.6 max mux
This global option specifies the maximum number of concurrent SMB operations that Samba allows. The default value for this option is
50. You can override it as follows:[global] max mux = 100
8.6.7 max open files
This global option specifies the maximum number of open files that Samba should allow at any given time for all processes. This value must be equal to or less than the amount allowed by the operating system, which varies from system to system. The default value for this option is
10,000. You can override it as follows:[global] max open files = 8000
8.6.8 max xmit
This global option sets the maximum size of packets that Samba exchanges with a client. In some cases, setting a smaller maximum packet size can increase performance, especially with Windows for Workgroups. The default value for this option is
65535. You can override it as follows:[global] max xmit = 4096
The section Section B.2.2.6, The TCP receive window in Appendix B, Samba Performance Tuning, shows some uses for this option.
8.6.9 nt pipe support
This global option is used by developers to allow or disallow Windows NT clients the ability to make connections to the NT SMB-specific IPC$ pipes. As a user, you should never need to override the default:[global] nt pipe support = yes
8.6.10 nt smb support
This global option is used by developers to negotiate NT-specific SMB options with Windows NT clients. The Samba team has discovered that slightly better performance comes from setting this value to
no. However, as a user, you should probably not override the default:[global] nt smb support = yes
8.6.11 ole locking compatibility
This global option turns off Samba's internal byte-range locking manipulation in files, which gives compatibility with Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) applications that use high byte-range locks as a method of interprocess communication. The default value for this option is
yes. If you trust your Unix locking mechanisms, you can override it as follows:[global] ole locking compatibility = no
8.6.12 panic action
This global option specifies a command to execute in the event that Samba itself encounters a fatal error when loading or running. There is no default value for this option. You can specify an action as follows:[global] panic action = /bin/csh -c 'xedit < "Samba has shutdown unexpectedly!'
8.6.13 set directory
This boolean share-level option allows Digital Pathworks clients to use the
setdircommand to change directories on the server. If you are not using the Digital Pathworks client, you should not need to alter this option. The default value for this option is
no. You can override it per share as follows:[data] set directory = yes
8.6.14 smbrun
This option sets the location of the smbrun executable, which Samba uses as a wrapper to run shell commands. The default value for this option is automatically configured by Samba when it is compiled. If you did not install Samba to the standard directory, you can specify where the binary is as follows:[global] smbrun = /usr/local/bin/smbrun
8.6.15 status
This global option indicates whether Samba should log all active connections to a status file. This file is used only by the smbstatus command. If you have no intentions of using this command, you can set this option to
no, which can result in a small increase of speed on the server. The default value for this option is
yes. You can override it as follows:[global] status = no
8.6.16 strict sync
This share-level option determines whether Samba honors all requests to perform a disk sync when requested to do so by a client. Many clients request a disk sync when they are really just trying to flush data to their own open files. As a result, this can substantially slow a Samba server down. The default value for this option is
no. You can override it as follows:[data] strict sync = yes
8.6.17 sync always
This share-level option decides whether every write to disk should be followed by a disk synchronization before the write call returns control to the client. Even if the value of this option is
no, clients can request a disk synchronization; see the
syncoption above. The default value for this option is
no. You can override it per share as follows:[data] sync always = yes
8.6.18 strip dot
This global option determines whether to remove the trailing dot from Unix filenames that are formatted with a dot at the end. The default value for this option is
no. You can override it per share as follows:[global] strip dot = yes
This option is now considered obsolete; the user should use the
mapoption insead.

Buried baby's mother is back in custody
Woman faces child neglect charge
A Broward County woman whose baby was found buried in a backyard is back in custody, a day after being released from jail, according to officials.
Prosecutors had reduced the charges against 22-year-old Brittney Sierra from a second-degree felony to child neglect, clearing her release to give birth to another child.
Authorities say her 5-month-old son found buried in the backyard in January had died as a result of homicide.
The parents have blamed each other to police.
Sierra was placed on house arrest on Monday and was ordered to live with a caretaker who now says she doesn't want Sierra in her home, police say.
Officials say Sierra was returned Tuesday to the custody of the Broward Sheriff's Office and she's expected to remain at a local hospital until her due date later this month.

1) The seasons: Ordinarily, do not capitalize seasons. For instance, "It will be spring in a few days." However, if you need to document which particular spring, do capitalize the season: "Your next evaluation will be in Spring 2015."
2) Directions vs. geographical areas: The latter are capitalized. For example, the Near East, the South, Southern California, the Mid-Atlantic states. Directions, however, are not capitalized. "She got on the San Diego Freeway and crept south for over 50 miles."

§ In the possession of Charles Meadows, Esq., Great Bealings, Woodbridge; a descendant of Brewster's.
King withdrawn, and that of Protector substituted as he had required: Painted Chamber, Monday, 25th May 1657.*
MR. SPEAKER, – I desire to offer a word or two unto you; which shall be but a word. I did well bethink myself, before I came hither this day, that I came not as to a triumph, but with the most serious thoughts that ever I had in all my life, to undertake one of the greatest tasks that ever was laid upon the back of a human creature. And I make no question but you will, and so will all men, readily agree with me that without the support of the Almighty I shall necessarily sink under the burden of it; not only with shame and reproach to myself, but with that that is more a thousand times, and in comparison of which I and my family are not worthy to be mentioned,
with the loss and prejudice of these Three Nations. And, that being so, I must ask your help, and the help of all those that fear God, that by their prayers I may receive assistance from the hand of God. His presence, going along, will enable to the discharge of so great a duty and trust as this is; and nothing else. will.'
Howbeit, I have some other things to desire you, I mean of the Parliament:- That seeing this is but, as it were, an introduction to the carrying-on of the government of these Nations, and forasmuch as there are many things which cannot be supplied, for the enabling to the carrying-on of this work, without your help and assistance, I think it is my duty to ask your help in them. Not that I doubted; for I believe the same spirit that hath led you to this will easily suggest the rest to you. The truth is, and I can say 'it' in the presence of God, that nothing would have induced me to have undertaken this insupportable burden to flesh and blood, had it not been that I have seen in this Parliament all along a care of doing all those things that might truly and really answer the ends that have been engaged: for you have satisfied ** your forwardness and readiness therein very fully already. 1. I thought it my duty, when your Committee which you
* Commons Journals, vil. 539, 537 (last entry there). ** Query, testified ?
were pleased to send to me to give the grounds and reasons of your proceedings to help my conscience and judgment, - I was then bold to offer to them several considerations: which were received by them, and have been presented to you. In answer to which, the Committee did bring several resolves of yours, which I have by me. I think those are not yet made so authentic and authoritative as was desired; and therefore, though I cannot doubt it, yet I thought it my duty to ask it of you, that there may be a perfecting of those things. Indeed, as I said before, I have my witness in the sight of God, that nothing would have been an argument to me, howsoever desirable great places may seem to be to other men; I say, nothing would have been an argument to me to have undertaken this; but, as I said before, I saw such things determined by you as makes clearly for the liberty of the Nations, and for the liberty and interest and preservation of all such as fear God, of all that fear God under various forms. And if God make not these Nations thankful to you for your care therein, it will fall as a sin on their heads. And therefore I say, that hath been one main encouragement.
I confess there are other things that tend to reformation, to the discountenancing of vice, to the encouragement of good men and virtue, and the completing of those things also, concerning some of which you have not yet resolyed any. thing; save to let me know by your Committee that you would not be wanting in anything for the good of these Nations. Nor do I speak it as in the least doubting it; but I do earnestly and heartily desire, to the end God may crown your work and bless you and this Government, that in your own time, and with what speed you judge fit, these things may be provided-for. §. io

Black teas are fully oxidized. The damp leaves are withered for generally 6 to 24 hours. Then they are placed onto rollers where their cell structures are disrupted, and a deep enzymatic oxidation of the freed polyphenols starts to take place. The leaves are then spread out in a room with high temperature and humidity for 2 to 3 hours where they are completely oxidized. In the end, they are rapidly and thoroughly dried at a high temperature. For Indian Darjeeling, complete oxidation is broken by drying. Black tea accounts for over ninety percent of all tea sold in the West, and are known for their robust, full-bodied flavors of cocoa, earth, molasses, and honey.

The counter argument is that if Apple built it in from the ground up, they could integrate it into the design, instead of the user having to plug in a separate, ugly dongle.They're actually shirking their responsibility by not touching it because it's ugly.

MSI, maker of computers and computer peripherals, has announced the launch of two new versions of its Wind netbook.
First up is the lappie entitled the MSI U90 Wind. This diminutive computer weighs in at a minuscule 8.9 inches, utilises SUSE Linux OS and has a 1024 x 600 display.
Hard-disk size is a healthy 80GB and price-wise the computer is a modest £269 to buy.
New specifications
Next up is the update to the original Wind model, the U100. Coming in with a 120GB hard drive and a 10in screen, the U100 has a price of £329 and runs Windows XP as its OS.
Both the MSI U90 and U100 house a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, a trio of USB slots, and Ethernet connection.
A 1.3 megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 have been thrown in for good measure. And for those looking for extra connectivity, there's a SDHC card slot built-in.
Both laptops come in black and white. If you prefer to add a bit of colour to your life, the old 80GB version of the U100 Wind is also shipping in pink for just £319.

Item Reviewed: Smuggling Duds Stealth Boxer Shorts
About the product: The Smuggling Duds Stealth Boxer has a mid-rise waist in navy blue fabric made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. All of the stitchings are flat and in contrasting blue thread with a one inch waistband in blue with with the repeating SD logo in lighter blue. These boxers have no defined pouch but do offer a double button functional fly and their 'Stash Pocket' for holding an MP3 player, cash, credit cards or other small things. The boxers are made in India.
What we like: The Smuggling Duds Stealth Boxer cotton blend and loose fit made these comfortable, and the double button fly and contrast stitching gave them restrained style. However, the 2.5 inch square stash pocket was the feature that allowed for some fun play on what your partner could store directly next to your jewels.
What we don't like: Smuggling Duds is making their reputation on the stash pocket, and it is fun, but these boxers fit too loosely for boxer briefs but fit too tightly for traditional boxers, making them a varied pair.
When we'd wear them: Out to a MacGyver convention, so we have somewhere to hide the Swiss Army knife.
Who we'd recommend them to: Smuggling Duds are an excellent choice for the guy who likes gadgets — and places to hide them.
Describe these underwear in three words: Pocket. Hide. Clever.

Extendedness as a relationship governance mechanism for securing cooperation in marketing relationships
Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing, 13
Traditionally, buyers encourage fierce price competition among suppliers. Such price competition has been the dominating strategy for purchase of commodities in business markets. Undoubtedly, this practice has been effective in many cases. Unfortunately, transactional purchasing practices could have negative effects because they demotivate suppliers to engage in value creating activities and incur substantial transaction costs. In contrast to competition, buyer-seller cooperation can also bring prices and total costs down. One problem of cooperation is that the parties can realize individual gains by defection while the other continues to cooperate. This article examines how industrial buyers of a commodity can overcome this problem and realize cost savings and low prices by motivating the supplier to cooperate by offering an extended time frame for purchases. The authors test the research hypotheses in a sample of 347 industrial buyers of electricity. The empirical tests provide general support for their predictions. The implications of the findings for marketing theory and practice are discussed.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
A complaint has been filed against Daimler Trucks North America, claiming five employees of color were subjected to repeated racial slurs and threats at the North Portland facilities, AP reports.
Oregon's Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian filed the complaint against the heavy-duty truck and school bus manufacturer and said workers could be awarded damages, including back pay for those who quit, if the accusations are authenticated.
"Many of them have been subjected to racial slurs, have been fearful at work. Some of them have actually resigned their jobs because of the oppressive environment they believed they were in," Avakian told KOIN 6 News. "All of those things meant we had to act quickly and filing the Commissioner's Complaint is the way I did that."
One Black Daimler worker alleged that a co-worker threatened him with a noose last fall and did not face "appropriate corrective action," according to the complaint.
"He told me he was going to hogtie me to the back of his truck, and when he was done with me I would be 100 pounds lighter," the employee said.
Oregon Live also reports that the discrimination may have occurred for decades, with employees facing racial slurs like the N-word, "boy," "Toby" and "buckwheat."
A spokesperson for Daimler Trucks said, "Comprehensive face-to-face anti-harassment training" is currently being conducted at the plant." Another statement from the company announced that it was cooperating with the investigation and has hired an outside investigator to look into the charges.
Since October 2002, at least 30 civil rights complaints have been filed to the state against Daimler Trucks.

Different properties have different layouts, which makes the tree removal a very difficult task. Tree removals must be done by a skilled professional who has years of experience removing trees. Depending on the size and location of the tree that is being removed, the job could be easy or very difficult.
Here are a few things to consider when taking down trees:
- The tree's proximity to powerlines
- Nearby construction/buildings
- Personal injury risk
When Is the Perfect Time to Remove a Tree?
Although it can be very hard to say goodbye to a tree, especially one that has been providing your company spectacular views every day or even a place for you and your employees to enjoy some shade as you eat your lunch, it's sometimes necessary. Or sometimes, you simply aren't sure whether or not a tree needs to be removed. Before you have the tree taken down, be sure to have an arborist take a look and evaluate the tree and it will give you peace of mind in knowing that the damage cannot be fixed and the tree needs to be removed.
Custom Care Is Essential from Removing Trees
Tree removals from a commercial property site are completely different from those on a residential property. For instance, you must consider pedestrians and traffic during the tree removal process. If your business is in a heavily trafficked area, then the area must be cornered off while the workers perform the tree removal. Plus, there are many other rules and regulations that need to be applied when removing a tree on a commercial property. The removal process might require special permits or permissions from the municipality.
Why You Need a Professional for Tree Removal
You simply can't hire anyone with a chainsaw to remove the trees from your commercial property. Tree removal is a specialized job that requires professional training to ensure it's done right. The person must be fully trained and certified and be able to handle tree removals, no matter the size of the job.
Here are some reasons to consider a professional tree removal company:
- Efficiency: When it comes to commercial tree removals, you need to ensure the job is done in an efficient way, with the entire process finished and cleaned before your valued customers arrive.
- Stump Removal: Skip the risk of trips and falls by having the stump removed right then and there.
Root Removal: Prevent the risk of underground problems in the future by removing the roots when the tree is initially removed.

As a man well beyond the prime working years, I do not typically complain about a schedule completely compatible with my age. However, there comes a time when nearly anything other than fishing becomes a source of resentment.
The thirty one days between the end of September and the beginning of November represent the most enticing diversity of fly fishing opportunity that Yellowstone country will offer during the entire year.
Almost without exception, every lake and river in this region becomes a worthwhile destination during the month of October, and some are absolutely irresistible.
In the low, clear flows of the Henry's Fork, big rainbows lift lazily to the small autumn Baetis in a daily feeding event that never fails to hold my interest. But at some point my mind will shift to Henry's Lake where every cast holds the potential for the trout of a lifetime.
The same type of distraction exists when I am fishing Sheridan Creek with the extraordinary lake of the same name situated close by. In either instance I am known to become a little frantic in trying to race from one place to another in order to make the most of every day that remains before winter's arrival.
Fortunately many of the most tempting waters are not separated by prohibitive distance nor are they far from my Idaho home. North into Montana, Hebgen Lake beckons from thirty miles away and another thirty miles will take me to its source. Although now in Yellowstone Park, the Madison River becomes loaded in fall with migrating trout from Hebgen, which gives the sensation at times that I am fishing to old friends. And if time and ambition allow I can be on the Fire Hole in less than another half hour.
Late October will find me at our winter home in St. Anthony where the lower Henry's Fork offers its own brand of fly fishing magic. A bigger river for much of the year, I will now wade a friendlier flow where the general emphasis is upon streamer fishing for large resident browns. It is at about this point that midges will become the primary source of dry fly fishing, and the month will often end with ice along the water's edge and several inches of snow on the banks.
It is good that the pressure of my work is close to its lowest annual point because I am not a very responsible man in October.

The foundation of Westminster's programs for adults is weekly Bible studies. The study of the Word of God is paramount both in knowing Christ and in living as a member of His kingdom in life, home, church, community, and world. The hope is that every man and woman at Westminster would have the opportunity to be a part of a Bible study. In addition to affinity studies geared specifically at men or women, Westminster offers many coed small groups for couples or individuals. The purpose of these groups is to foster spiritual growth in each member as they serve one another. Groups meet either weekly or bimonthly to pray and study, and every so often, to serve in the community with one another.
Morning Women's Circle and Bible Study: second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m.
Men's Fellowship Lunch at Subway on Orange by Berglund Center: Thursdays 12:15 p.m.
Evening Women's Circle and Bible Study: last Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m.
Seniors Breakfast at Famous Anthony's: third Thursday of the month at 9:00 a.m.
Midweek Bible Study and Prayer Meeting: every Wednesday Evening at Pastor Ferguson's home, 7:00 p.m.

Orchestral Instrument Sizing
It is always best to have your orchestra instructor size your student for his/her instrument. If this is not possible, you can estimate the size of the instrument that should work for your student by using the information below.
You will need a yardstick or tape measure. Have the student stand and extend their left arm straight out from their left side with their palm facing up. In other words, if the student is facing north, their left arm should be fully extended to the west.
Hold one end of the yardstick against the left side of their neck and read the distance to the MIDDLE OF THE PALM. If your measurement falls right on the line, go to the next larger size.
If the measured distance is:
less than 17" = 1/10 size
more than 17" but less than 18.5" = 1/8 size
more than 18.5" but less than 20.25" = 1/4 size
more than 20.25" but less than 22.25" = 1/2 size
more than 22.25" but less than 23.5" = 3/4 size
more than 23.5" = 4/4 (full) size
more than 21.5" but less than 23.25" = 13" viola
more than 23.25" but less than 24.75" = 14" viola
more than 24.75" but less than 25.5" = 15" viola
more than 25.5" but less than 26.25" = 15.5" viola (considered Full Size)
more than 26.25" but less than 27.25" = 16" viola (considered Full Size)
more than 27.25" = 16.5" viola (considered Full Size)
There are no single measurements that will give an accurate sizing for cellos or basses. If you cannot get the teacher's recommendation on the size, you will need to bring your student into the store to be sized.

What is HVAC?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. The objective of HVAC is to control the temperature of air along with control of moisture, filtration of air, etc.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. … Methods for ventilating a building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.
The main parts of the HVAC system are a heating, a ventilation and an air-conditioning unit. Furthermore, modern systems include an air filtration and cleaning element as well.
What's the difference between AC and HVAC?
AC stands for 'air conditioning', HVAC stands for 'heating, ventilation and air conditioning.'
These two terms are often used interchangeably to describe any type of heating or cooling device.
PRA can assist you with your HVAC requirements as follows
1. Heating
Air Conditioning Systems are not just for cooling but provide heat too.
An all-in-one system, the most common application, is made up of one internal unit and one external unit.
2. Ventilation
To provide a comfortable working environment and maintain a building's indoor temperature by exchanging 'fresh air' from outside the building through a heat exchanger system. The heat exchanger system typically transfers heat between the outgoing and incoming air to control the air quality inside.
Air Conditioning Systems are used to help regulate environmental temperature inside building, cooling and heating as required.
Air Conditioning systems also play a crucial role in moderating humidity within a building.
Humidity control can be used to create a more comfortable workspace, it can also protect sensitive equipment from exposure to moisture in the air.

This is that horrible, drawn-out, awkward thing called the "first post." This is where I introduce myself and lay the foundations for all the happy little posts that will come after, and generally set the tone for the entire blog.
So let's do some tone-settin', grasshopper.
First, I'd like to point out that, unlike 99.99% of the stuff I write, this blog post isn't off the cuff. I'm pretty much copying the structure suggested on this webpage, and in the same order too, mostly. The first thing I need to do, according to shoutmeloud.com, is tell you about myself.
This isn't my first blog. I kept a blog called the Sententious Vaunter for six years (stupid name, I know; but it was my first blog, 'kay?). You can check it out if you want to know more about me: the places I've traveled, the things I've done and seen, the stuff I write, my hobbies.
In case you can't be bothered to follow a suspicious link, I'll give you a quick summary: I blogged about living in South Korea (see below), about my writing, about flying, about mixing cocktails, and occasionally about my favorite movies (Hatari!, Yojimbo, John Carpenter's The Thing and Escape from New York) and music (Jethro Tull, The Who, Pink Floyd).
And now, my full bio:
I was born in 1986. I've lived all over: California, Wyoming, North Dakota, Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada. I graduated from college in 2007 with a degree in—get this—Journalism, Broadcasting, and Mass Communication Technology. I ended up with only $12,500 in student debt, because I have awesome parents who put up half my college tuition. I just paid off my student debt last month, hooray hooray.
As a kid, I was assured time and again by every adult I met that a college degree would guarantee me a good job. I started out in the biology program at North Dakota State University, but organic chemistry defeated me, and I switched into journalism. I figured if I couldn't study animals for a living, I'd write about them, and anything else that interested me. I've always been a good writer. I could write and read at a university level when I was in 5th grade. I was the cool kid who stayed home and read the encyclopedia and the dictionary and Audubon bird guides and big thick history books while my classmates were out partying.
I graduated in December of 2007, and in 2008, the big crash happened. Print journalism was already a dying industry by the time I left school, and the crash didn't improve matters. I spent six months living in my parents' basement in Wyoming, half-heartedly searching for reporting jobs nationwide, before I finally got sick of waiting and took a job teaching English in South Korea. I spent a year on an island called Geoje, way down south of Busan. It was one of the best years of my life. I came back to the States, moved back in with my parents (who were then living in the Mojave Desert of Southern California), and blew the $12,000 that I'd saved in Korea on a pilot's license. Then I went back to Korea for three years, this time with a girlfriend (who soon became my fiancée). I had another glorious time in Korea, made more lifelong friends, ate delicious food, and traveled to China and Japan and Vietnam and Cambodia and Thailand and Malaysia and Singapore and Hong Kong. In early 2015, my fiancée and I moved to Las Vegas and we lived there a year. She had massive student debt and poured every penny of her three-job income into repaying her loans. The only job I could find was a content mill that paid me $12 an hour. We lived in an apartment (which my fiancée chose) that cost $900 a month. Before the year was out, all my savings from Korea had evaporated, and I had racked up $12,000 in credit card debt besides. Finally I called it quits. I rented a U-Haul van, packed up all my junk, and drove from Las Vegas to Sacramento, moving back in with my parents for the second time.
It was no picnic to be 30 years old, broke, and living with my folks again, even though they were incredibly sweet and understanding about the whole thing. I came unnervingly close to killing myself (no joke). I beat back my suicidal feelings by taking up a new hobby: philosophy. I got seriously into Stoicism. I read Marcus Aurelius's Meditations when I lived in Las Vegas, then Epictetus's Enchiridion and Seneca's Moral Letters while I was living with my parents in Fair Oaks. Three neck-bearded old guys—two Romans and one Greek—saved my life. Thanks, dudes.
And then…something wonderful happened. Or rather, a succession of wonderful things happened. I met someone on Match.com. We chatted online. Then we talked on the phone. Then we met, at last, in Roseville, where I was working at the time. We hit it off. I got fired from my job in Roseville (that was wonderful, believe me). I started looking for jobs in Lodi, where she lived. I got a job at Target, where she worked. I moved in with her. I worked at Target for a few months, and moonlighted as as banquet bartender at a golf course in Stockton on weekends. She and I got engaged in October. Then, in December of 2016, I got a good job, one that paid well and had benefits and all the things I'd never had. We got married in May of 2017, in my parents' backyard in Fair Oaks. We honeymooned in the Seychelles a month later. We're planning on moving to Japan in May of 2018, where we'll teach.
All this time, I've been writing: short stories, novels, novelettes, novellas. Mostly science fiction, though there's been a smattering of mainstream fic in there. Oh, and I published a novel on the Amazon Kindle in September 2015. It's called Mugunghwa: The Wreck of the Rose of Sharon. It's historical fiction and it's one of the best things I've ever written. I wrote it for NaNoWriMo in 2012, while living in Korea with my ex-fiancée. I haven't published anything else. Since I started keeping serious track of my submissions in 2012, I have submitted no fewer than 83 stories of various lengths to major and minor sci-fi publishers and magazines, and not a single one has been accepted. Disheartening, but I'll be danged if I'm going to give up. I'm a Stoic, remember? And I was born to write.
What are my goals? I've got a few. The first is to be a successful writer. I know the term "successful" is highly subjective, but I mean exactly what you're probably thinking right now: six- and seven-figure advances, book signings, movie rights, Hugo and Nebula Awards, crowds of screaming fans, fanfiction out the wazoo, and my name added to the pantheon of great science fiction authors.
Okay, none of that has to happen. I just want someone like me, a young teenage escapist, to pluck one of my books off a shelf and spend an afternoon being swept away by an amazing story. That's what made me fall in love with science fiction when I was a kid: its unearthly power to capture the imagination and take it for a wild ride through the realm of the fantastic (and semi-plausible). It's what my favorite sci-fi writers (H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, A.E. van Vogt, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Sprague de Camp, Ray Bradbury, and a dozen others) did for me when I really needed it. I want to do the same. I want to present the world with a handmade gift: a rollicking good story.
But I don't just write fiction. I love writing about travel, science, history, culture, and a lot of other things. So I'm launching a career as a freelance writer. My intention is to forge a working relationship with a couple of magazines (or just one magazine that pays me to write a weekly column) and write until I die.
My other two ambitions have nothing to do with writing…and at the same time, they have everything to do with it.
First, I would like to travel to every country in the world. I think I've got 17 or 18 knocked off the list already.
Second, I would like to own an airplane. A seaplane, specifically. An amphibian. A SeaRey if we're dreaming small. A Grumman Mallard if we're dreaming big (and I usually dream big).
Traveling and flying, by virtue of their adventurousness and uniqueness, will give me plenty of incidental writing fodder. So I've always seen my life goals as being interrelated, three parts of a whole: travel, fly, and write. They mesh in more ways than you'd imagine.
What else is there to say? I have a private pilot's license, but haven't flown in years thanks to the crippling debt I racked up in Vegas (which I'm still paying down). I mix a mean Moscow mule. I hate all the remakes and reboots of popular movies Hollywood is doing. I'm told that I'm something of a curmudgeon, that I have a wry and off-the-wall sense of humor, that I have a way of explaining things that makes them interesting and fun, and that I have terrible fashion sense (who says cargo pants are passé?). I smoke a pipe: nine of them, actually. I'm a collector.
I'm writing this blog for two reasons: (1) to actively maintain a professional presence on the web so that agents, potential employers, clients, and (eventually) hordes of adoring fans can find me; and (2) so other struggling, currently non-famous sci-fi writers and fans out there can read my blog and know they're not alone in their struggle for that elusive, subjective, abstract noun, "success." And because it's fun. Criminy, I'd forgotten how fun it was. When I started this post, I was all like ohmigod this is so scary I haven't blogged since December 2015 what am I doing this is insaaaaaaaaaaaane and now I'm all like Psssshhhh why did I ever stop blogging this is tons o' fun I feel like I just pounded a glass of Bulleit rye freakin' AWESOMENESS.
I've promised myself that I'm going to update this blog frequently: at least twice a week. Most posts won't be nearly as long as this one. I'm going to blog about the progress of my career, chiefly. After six fruitless years, I'm getting a bit fed up with the traditional publishing process (agents, editors, endless weeks and months of waiting, etc.). So I've been mulling over a rather unconventional strategy: self-publishing. If I decide to pursue that route—and it's looking pretty likely—I'll blog about it, start-to-finish, and tell you what worked and what didn't.
The form this blog will take is what Jane Friedman calls the "behind-the-scenes" model of author blogs. To wit:
You write about the research, people, news stories, or current events that play a role in the construction of your books or other work. You might also develop competitions and events that focus on reader engagement, such as having readers name your novel's characters, choose the best cover, etc. Presumably, readers will enjoy knowing more about the context and ideas that affect your writing and being involved in your future work.
I used to play my cards pretty close to my chest, never letting anyone see my drafts or hear anything about my plots or my characters until they were fully developed and the manuscript was perfect. Now that I'm older and wiser, a recovering perfectionist, I've realized my mistake. I involve other people heavily in my work now. My list of beta readers is as long as my arm, and I constantly ask others for advice and suggestions for improving my fiction. I also love talking about stuff that influences my work, and if I manage to give my readers inspiration in the process, well…I'll feel all warm and fuzzy and fulfilled. I have very, very esoteric tastes in books and movies, and I write very offbeat stories, or so I'm told. Expect posts about comics, movies, and books (fiction and nonfiction) that influence my stories or stir my imagination; posts about sci-fi writers whom I admire (and beware, almost none of them are contemporary); news stories that send me scurrying to my typewriter, especially science news (and the cultural implications thereof); and other random bits of esoteric extemporanea that relate to my writings.
Who am I writing for? You. Whoever's reading this right now. Whoever was interested enough to click on a link and follow it to this page. Whether you're an agent looking for sci-fi novelists to represent, another writer who'd like to get an idea of my research and writing process, or just a sci-fi/history nut like me, welcome. This blog's for you. Email me, message me on social media, or leave a comment below. Ask me anything. I'll be here, hovering over the keyboard, fingers at the ready. If there's anything I love more than whiskey, pipe tobacco, Cessna aircraft, world travel, John Carpenter, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Akira Kurosawa, or Schwinn bicycles, it's helping people and answering questions.
Andrew Timothy Post, signing off.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a mission to promote policies that improve economic and social well-being around the world. In 2014 the OECD used a model developed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) as part of a project supported by CCAFS to create sophisticated projections of agricultural commodities and trade.
The International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) models the interactions between global food supply and trends in demand, trade, income and population growth, and water basin management. Using IMPACT, researchers have estimated the amount of investment necessary to develop new varieties of wheat and maize and improve irrigation technologies in OECD member countries. As very few estimates of adaptation costs had been produced prior to this work, it represents a valuable step forward.
IMPACT simulations indicate that, by 2050, the prices of agricultural commodities will be higher than current levels. Annual adaptation costs, specifically for agricultural research and development and improved irrigation technology, could amount to USD 20 billion for OECD countries.
Researchers trained OECD staff to use IMPACT. Staff from the two organizations also conducted joint analysis, using the OECD's own data, and worked together on publications exploring the effects of climate change and adaptation on agriculture, such as a report analysing the effects of expanding irrigation in the OECD region.
Based on the success of the collaboration in 2014, the OECD is planning further work with IFPRI in 2015—benefitting the development of climate-smart agriculture in OECD member countries.
Key facts
- In 2014, the OECD employed the IFPRI IMPACT model to create advanced projections pertaining to the interactions between global food supply, and trends in demand, trade, income, population growth, and water basin management.
- Using IMPACT, researchers have estimated the amount of investment necessary to develop new varieties of wheat and maize and improve irrigation technologies in OECD member countries.
- IMPACT simulations indicate that agricultural commodity prices will grow by 2050, meaning yearly adaptation costs for agricultural research and development and improved irrigation technology in OECD countries could reach USD 20 billion.
Lessons: key elements of success
- Combining the expertise of IFPRI and the OECD resulted in state-of-the-art modelling, and contributed to highly relevant policy analysis.
- As few estimates of adaptation costs exist, this analysis helps fill a key knowledge gap needed for addressing the negative impacts of climate change.

I wanted to make sure that it would match their new decor and that it wouldn't just be another piece of art to hang on the wall. I used the pictures that my mother had posted as color inspiration, especially this wall hanging she made:
(don't you just love it?)
The details: The background on the right and left sides are newsprint scrapbook paper and the middle is a green print from the Luxury Stack of Premium Stack scrapbook paper. On the left I attached a white cardstock daisy and on the right I used a white scroll font stickers to spell "Fish," the family name. I printed the quote on the green paper in LD Old Glory font. "Being a family means you are part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what."
I think it will go wonderfully with the new decor and more importantly, I think my Grom will love it!

Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot almost 500 Screen Tests: revealing portraits of various individuals—both famous and anonymous—who visited his studio, the Factory. They were asked to pose, lit with a strong keylight, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black-and-white, 100-foot rolls of film. The Screen Tests provided fodder for Warhol's ever-shifting happenings, and starred, behind the music of The Velvet Underground and Nico, in his Exploding Plastic Inevitable live shows.
Inspired by the mythos of The Factory, songwriters Dean & Britta have composed a live score for a selection of the films. Along with covers of The Velvet Underground and Bob Dylan, their dream-pop sensibility and entrancing rock rhythms evoke the legacy of Warhol's era.
13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests was jointly commissioned by The Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts 2008.

Liquid Gecko (right), four, died last week of systemic infections that may have included cancer. Both eyes were horribly infected with green pus and a tumor-like growth appeared behind his left eye. Minor sugery to the area revealed nothing inside but white tissue. He may have also been compacted, but it's hard to tell. I put the poor lizard down by refrigerating him for a half hour, then moving him up to the freezer. He hadn't eaten in months and was visibly declining. I suspect he was days from death when I "helped him along," but I didn't want him to suffer any more. He is survived by his brother, Solid (center) and his cousin, Mr. Fat (left).
His corpse was buried in the backyard and marked with a paint stiring stick. Hopefully his body will have skeletized by next summer. The one good thing to come out of the saddness is that I'm no longer losing sleep worrying about the little guy.
In times like this, I find myself selfishly hoping Liquid is going to some abstract "better place." That Big Terrerium in the Sky, as it were. It's useless to speculate on some higher plane, however. I suspect that humanity creates afterlife myths to comfort the living and remember the dead, but the reality may very well be that we become the very dirt we were born from. Those with unshakable faith know that white clouds and angel wings await them beyond death, but I have no such luxury. Death is hard for me, not only because I will miss the individual who I've lost, but because I worry about what it means for me. I cannot, and will not, entertain ideas of an afterlife of which there is no physical evidence. I may as well waste my time hoping dragons exist. Maybe they do, but until one is found, I'm going to worry about more worthwhile endeavors.
The bad news? We may...probably will...lose Sable tomorrow, too.

Hammertoes Surgery Treatment
Publikuota: Be temos
A Hammer toes or contracted toe is a deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the second, third, or fourth toe causing it to be permanently bent, resembling a hammer. Mallet toe is a similar condition affecting the distal interphalangeal joint. Claw toe is another similar condition, with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the lesser metatarsophalangeal joint, combined with flexion of both the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Claw toe can affect the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes.
While ill-fitting shoes may contribute to a hammertoe, shoes don't actually cause it, Hammertoes occur by the pull and stretch of the tendon. One tendon gets a more mechanical advantage over the other and allows the deformity to occur. Not surprisingly, wearing shoes that are too tight can make a hammertoe worse. If you're fond of narrow, pointy-toed shoes or high-heeled pumps, keep in mind you're squeezing those toes and tendons, which may aggravate hammertoes.
A hammertoe may be present but not always painful unless irritated by shoes. One may have enlarged toe joints with some thickened skin and no redness or swelling. However, if shoes create pressure on the joint, the pain will usually range from pinching and squeezing to sharp and burning. In long standing conditions, the dislocated joints can cause the pain of arthritis.
Hammertoes are progressive, they don?t go away by themselves and usually they will get worse over time. However, not all cases are alike, some hammertoes progress more rapidly than others. Once your foot and ankle surgeon has evaluated your hammertoes, a treatment plan can be developed that is suited to your needs.
Non Surgical Treatment
Treating hammertoe involves straightening the toe, making tendons in the toes flexible again, and preventing the problem from returning. Some simple treatments include splinting the toe to keep it straight and to stretch the tendons of the foot. Using over-the-counter pads, cushions or straps to decrease discomfort Exercising the toes to relax the foot tendons (a session with a physical therapist may help you get started with foot exercises) Wearing shoes that fit properly and allow toes plenty of room to stretch out.
Surgical Treatment
Surgical Options: Several surgical procedures are available to the podiatric physician. For less severe deformities, the surgery will remove the bony prominence and restore normal alignment of the toe joint, thus relieving pain. Severe hammer toes, which are not fully reducible, may require more complex surgical procedures. Recuperation takes time, and some swelling and discomfort are common for several weeks following surgery. Any pain, however, is easily managed with medications prescribed by your podiatrist.

Using a FlowLayout on top of a CardLayout
Hi everybody,
I want to use multiple panels as cards in a cardlayout. Therefore I created one Panel with cardLayout and multiple panels with flowlayout, and added those to the first panel.
The following code is part of my "gui extends JFrame" class:
Java Code:
JPanel cards = new JPanel(new CardLayout()); UnitCard unitPanel = new UnitCard(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 10, 10)); cards.add(unitPanel, "unitPanel"); this.getContentPane().add(cards); this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
Thanks for your help!
Create and post an SSCCE (please see the link in my signature below).
