A simplistic but instructive summary of the Maginot Line via Business Insider:...
As has already been widely reported, inside whatever is left of the GOP establishment's piss-soaked corridors of power there is a palpable sense of panic and dread as the Day of the Trump arrives.
Those of us who exist permanently outside of the precincts of the GOP establishment and their Beltway media enablers, look on this freak show as we always have looked upon all the other jaw-dropping atrocities the GOP has racked up over the years -- as a tragedy for our country and one more irrefutable validation of what we have been saying about the Right for decades. A validation which no one inside the power structure ever deigns to notice because no one inside the power structure has ever given a shit what we think and they never will.
Because if there is one thing that terrifies the Beltway media/political establishment more than Trump it is collapse of all the Big Lies they tell themselves about who and what this country is. The Big Lies that have brought them all so much wealth and power. The Big Lies that have brought Trump the Barbarian to the gates of their little Village. The Big Lies we dirty hippies keep pointing at and calling "Big Lies".
And nothing could be a clearer demonstration of the magnitude and tenacity of the Beltway media/political establishment's dedication to their comforting delusions than the composition of the motley forces they have arrayed against the Trump Anschluss of the Republican Party...
Remember, at this point the GOP establishment isn't even talking about fixing what's actually wrong with Republican Party anymore, because he Republican Party cannot be fixed -- it's a mad dog in the street and the kindest thing that could happen to it would be for the American electorate to put it out of its misery once and for all so we can go down to the pound and get a new one:
Instead, the Beltway establishment is merely trying to nudge its base away from voting for the billionaire demagogue and instead put their faith in either an openly theocratic lunatic and liar or an incompetently engineered cipher of the donor class. And to this, they are raiding the GOP boneyard for every decommissioned artillery piece from the Bush Regime and rushing it into the fight.
Just this afternoon I saw MSNBC trot out Dan "Baghdad Dan" Senor, Christine Todd Whitman and Harold Fraud Junior to rend their garments and gnash their teeth.
A Bush Regime dead-ender from a time the Base has been trained to forget.
A Damn RINO!
And one of Joe Scarborough's toady backup singers.
Wow.
So who else?
Mitt Romney? The loser who led the base to their doom last time after he promised to rid them of the Kenyan Usurper?
Stuart Stevens? The guy who was supposed to deliver that Romney Landslide?
Mitch McConnell? Whose "plans" have nothing to do with redeeming the dreams of the party faithful but only extend to defending his own privilege and so-far-useless Senate majority?
Jennifer Rubin? Another denizen of Fred Hiatt's Neocon Petting Zoo who spent most of 2012 humping Mitt Romney's leg right down to his metal endoskeleton.
David Effing Brooks? Who clearly despises the grubby, bigoted peons on whose unswerving loyalty his party depends depends and who mocked at least as often by wingnuts as he is by me?
These are the kind of people the base doesn't like or listen to already. People they either ignore or actively despise. And yet there they are, arm-in-arm, telling a mob of angry idiots that already loathes them that they're a buncha dumb-ass hicks who need to shut the fuck up and do what their betters tell them to do.
Well, good luck with that.
While you're standing on your high dudgeon reading the rubes the riot act, I'll be over here, sipping pretty good scotch and laughing my damn dirty Liberal ass off.

Laugh now. But President Trump will not make us laugh.
The serial liar Bill O'Riley has lost custody of his children for being a no good wife beater. Will he invite DFB over to drown their sorrows, or just be an especially bitter asshole at work? We report. You decide.
Not for lack of trying, we Liberals have failed to stop the painful slide of our Republican neighbors and acquaintances (or that one friend you can't quit) into the yawning abyss of drug addiction.
The time for an intervention passed a long time ago. How in the hell would we get those on the meth (Trump) into rehab? How would we get those on smack (Carson), glue sniffers (Cruz), sterno huffers (Rubio), and crack heads (everyone else), to enter rehab? Ain't gonna happen. I don't think these poor souls have a bottom. Sure, we could try to get those not snorting Trump to gang up on the tweakers. Yeah, sure, maybe you'll get one guy to Fly Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and he never belonged there anyway.
They're doomed. And depending on the breaks, their meth lab just might cook off and take our neighborhood with it.
Lawrence
FYI
Very well put. It certainly led me to swigging Lagavulin straight from the bottle.
Again, close to brilliant stuff.
And while I like the Maginot Line analogy, the true history of that thing has been distorted.
Maginot, the French politician and WWI trench veteran, who pushed for it was not an idiot and it actually did pretty much what it was supposed to do. Lots of books on Amazon about this.
So who cleaned France's clock with "blitzkrieg" et al.?
Well, if you know your enemy's defensive positions, it's not that hard to run around and overcome them.
Which is why ALL of France had an instinctive sense of betrayal when it happened.
Which is what Hitler did do with the help of the Duke of Windsor (remember him? Wallis Simpson?) who did a tour of the French defensive positions in a make work job as a Brigadier General posted to Paris and passed the info on to Berlin. (Quick victory by the Bosch and guess who would be back on the throne? You do remember the Windsors were originally the Battenbergs and came from Germany and the Duke was raised speaking German don't you? ) Yeah, I know it sounds unbelievable, but it happened.
It's all laid out in a book called Hidden Agenda by a guy named Martin Allen who makes a really strong case. Before you go off on me, get a copy on bookfinder.com.
Oh, and the great romantic gesture of giving up the throne for the women he loved? Check out the book Full Service by Scotty Bowers, former Hollywood procurer, for what the Duke and Duchess were actually, uh, into. Also available cheap on bookfinder.com.
You know, we might actually be witnessing the final death rattle of the Republican Party. It has morphed into such a monstrosity that it really is only worth killing. I have to say that my absolute favorite development has been Mitch McConnell's soiling himself while trying to save his god damn job by supporting Hillary--so that he can continue to function as a disloyal opposition leader. You know that they are really desperate when this is a better alternative than their front runner.
Is this the part where Mickey Mouse gets out the axe, and starts chopping up brooms? Pure, uncut irony. The real stuff. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind wasn't 'how to' instructions, guys!
Guys I'm sorry, I don't get this "death of the GOP" stuff. Yes Trump is cutting donuts on their front lawn. Yes DFB is showing his stripes. Yes the party leadership hates the guy.
But this November, or at worst four years later, they'll be free of him. Do you think this experience will lead the Kochs and Adelsons to swear off political influence purchasing forever? Will Rupert Murdoch decide to turn his media empire from politics to saving the poor in third world nations? Will Limbaugh say I'm sorry and take himself off the air? Will 1000 Republican state legislators decide they're secretly Democrats?
Give me a break. The GOP is annoyed at being schooled by Trump. They're going to have to put up with 9 months of discomfort. But women manage it all the time, so I think our red state friends will survive, and live to enjoy many more years of hating the dirty hippies.
I agree with Donald Walsh.
It's the most enjoyable show EVAH (or at least lately) to watch the R-Team PTB sh*t themselves over Trump. And I even confess to loving some of what the Donald has said, most especially using his long knives on the Bush Crime syndicate. Yeah, baby.
But the GOP ain't going anywhere, and there's no Atticus out there to put down this d*mn mad dog. The Gee Oh Pee will be with us for a long time to come, and the sad clowns of punditry will ever find a way to blame it all and solely on the DFHs and/or the dreaded DemoRATS. Certainly THEY have no part in how this has played out, doncha know??
Bank on it.
Donald Walsh: I wouldn't count on any of those people you've mentioned being around four years from now. Even if they are still breathing, they will be too damn old to be very active. If Murdoch leaves all to his son to manage things will be different, I believe. He's a horse of a different color I understand. Limbaugh is losing listeners and sponsors by the day. If their ideology doesn't kill them, time will. And sooner than you might think.
Kill the GOP as a national party is essentially the same as killing the GOP.
If the GOP loses the ability to win the White House, you can expect a transition of the few remaining moderate Republicans to the Democratic party's right wing.
And you can expect the Democratic party to have its own internal issues, with a center-right wing eventually breaking off and forming a new party...somewhat like New Labour in the UK.
Please proceed, Strongman Trump.
"Please proceed, Strongman Trump."
"Nach Trump, Uns"?
Uh, no thanks. I never thought I would find myself rooting for the Establishment of the GOP, but I hope they can thwart Trump--or that if they can't, Hillary and the Democratic Establishment can stop him.
"death of the GOP". I'll never forget, after the 76 election, Bob Dole's (minority leader) press conference. Paraphrasing: "I don't know if the GOP is going to survive, Stay viable..." Of course the next presidential cycle brought us St Ronnie, and suddenly they were like Lazarus. Just a cautionary tale.

Supreme Committee for Issuing Fatwas (Al-Lajna al-‘Ulya li-l-Ifta’), which is based in the eastern city Al-Bayda and is associated with Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), has called for Jihad in Sabratha against “Kharijites,” a term used by Dignity Operation members to label their opponents. The announcement follows the Committee’s controversial Fatwa denouncing Ibadis earlier this summer, which provoked massive criticism from both local and international actors as inciting violence among Libyans.
Following this announcement the eastern government, headed by Abdullah Al-Thanni, ordered mosques in the region to perform Qunut prayers to ask God to defeat the “Kharijites” in Sabratha. On 6 October, the Anti-ISIS Operations Room (AIOR), a force technically under the authority of the Government of National Accord (GNA) but more closely aligned the Libyan National Army (LNA), announced its control of Sabratha after defeating the Anas Dabbashi Brigade– ending the prolonged conflict in the city and surrounding areas.

Obama leads all of the Republican candidates in the poll, but Romney is gaining ground.
The survey showed Obama leading the Republican front-runner by 48 percent to 43 percent, compared to a 48 percent to 40 percent difference a month ago. The former governor bested Obama in a poll conducted in late October.
With both Obama and Romney strengthening their positions nationally, the competition between the two men is getting closer, Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson said.

What is a container?
Containers.
How do I make a container?
Keep in mind that a container can be in any width and height size (in pixels). When creating a new container, a canvas with the defined container size appears. You can use that canvas to add UI elements and interactions. For a container to work, it has to be added to a screen (or to another container). After that, you can define the container viewable size which in many cases can be different (usually smaller) than the original container size.
Note: in the New Container modal, you see options 'x1', 'x2', 'x3' etc. next to width and height. This is so that you can quickly create a container with e.g. 3 times the normal screen height, which can be later added to a screen and made to appear vertically scrollable.
How do I make a container scrollable?
As mentioned, if the container viewable size is smaller than the original size (in width and/or height), then you can make the container appear as scrollable when previewed. When adding your container to a screen (or to another container), you will see Scroll properties in the Properties Inspector. You can choose between Horizontally, Vertically and Omni-directionally and edit other settings.
Example
From the Sample project, let's see how the Smoothies screen is made to appear scrollable.
We created a container named 'Smoothies List Vertical Scrollable' with height equal to 3 times that of the screen, i.e. 2000px. That would look like this after UI items are included:
After we're done editing, we can add it to the Smoothies screen. While having the screen open in the canvas, navigate through the containers list and when you find the particular one, click the 'Add to canvas' icon.
You'll see this. You can change the Scroll option to 'Vertically' and also check the option 'Treat scroll container as snap (carousel)'. The second option makes sure that when the user scrolls, it feels like s/he changes pages.
You can now preview your project in Player. You will see that the screen appears scrollable (seen in image below), but it also snaps so that you see a particular page each time.
You can also watch this video to learn about scrollable containers.
You might also want to read about Proto.io's automated functionality 'Make scrollable' with which you can convert UI items or groups of items into scrollable containers.

Brewing tensions between the Tea Party and GOP.
One major question Tea Partiers want to know, to see if the GOP is serious about standing for conservative principles: If the Republicans gain ground in the next election, are they up to the task of reforming entitlements in the face of massive baby-boomer retirements?

Anton Danyluk is hoping his exotic status as the first ever Scotsman to appear on the show will count in his favour as he entersThat’s a medical condition that I have…’
Anton Danyluk, 24, is a gym owner from Scotland, who displayed an admiral lack of self-doubt when making his pre-Love Island romantic sales pitch.
“My best feature is my eyes. I’m quite dark but I’ve got light eyes so they stand out.
“I would rate myself an eight on looks alone but when you start putting everything together you can bump it up a little bit.”
He certainly sounds like a catch: “I’m funny, I’m very hard working and I’m really motivated and I love to encourage and motivate people,” he added.
All of this sounds rather wonderful but, sadly for prospective companions, Danyluk – who bought himself a Porsche at the age of 21 (“as you do!”) – is afflicted by an illness.
The 24-year-old explained, excruciatingly: “That’s a medical condition that I have… a wandering eye! I’ve never really been loyal in any of my relationships.”
Oh no.
‘It’s the biggest test of my life’
Just when you thought you had him all pinned down, though, it turns out that, for Danyluk, a summer in TV’s most salacious holiday is set to be a journey of contemplation and self-discovery.
“My last relationship, I actually got caught cheating for the first time in my life and it changed everything for me,” he insists. .

Healing the Sick is the Highest Law
(Salus aegroti, suprema lex esto)
Hippocrates
For the second time since 1991, EGVE is honoured to host the upcoming 29th Congress of the EAHM in Budapest.
We had come a long way in this period: the Cold War is over, the Iron Curtain has been dismantled, the Berlin Wall has fallen, and the two Germanys have been united. The European Union has expanded. All countries have made this journey on their own, but not alone. The slogan of our conference was formulated by Hippocrates more than a thousand years ago, and today, in the extended sense, this is true of the healthy as well. Prevention and treatment without the patient’s, the healers’, the nurses’, the relatives’ individual and collective work will not lead to required results.
Zsuzsa Jakab, WHO Deputy Chief Executive Officer, analysing the past and present, outlines future challenges that can only be solved together. Just think of the big epidemics!
An outstanding event will be the keynote address by Prof. Dr. Béla Merkely, Rector of the Semmelweis University, on the need to rethink the structure of education in the health professions, the coordination of different qualifications and competences, and the restructuring of theoretical and practical training.
The Rector invites the leaders of the European partner universities to come together to think together and come up with proposals for the future.
The turbulent development of diagnostics and healing raises a number of ethical issues that need to be addressed at a European conference.
Hospitals’ environmental problems and climate change cannot be solved by individual work alone. It is a shared task and responsibility for the future. This block is being introduced by our Nobel Prize winner Professor Ürge-Vorsatz Diana.
Hospitals must go green – but “green hospitals” cannot exist without innovation, research and information technology. The technological explosion can open up an unpredictable perspective. But this can only be achieved and utilized through collaborative work.
All of this cost money. Funding, the creation of resources is also a responsibility crossing individual and social borders. New ways must be found, including in this area, and innovation is also needed here.
We also promise surprises, common cultural programs and warm Hungarian hospitality.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to the 29th EAHM Congress in Budapest to think together, exchange experiences, to make new friends!
Zsuzsanna Törökné Kaufmann
President of EGVE

I do not make New Year's resolutions - this actually came up in my conversation with Forrest Inslee on the latest Earthkeepers' podcast episode - but I do think about habits and patterns in my life that need to change. My guide for the next few weeks is Becoming Rooted: One Hundred Days of Reconnecting with Sacred Earth by Randy Woodley. Randy is an activist, scholar, author, teacher, wisdom-keeper, follower of Jesus, and Cherokee descendant, recognized by the Keetoowah Band. He and his wife, Edith, co-sustain Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice and Eloheh Farm & Seeds outside Portland, Oregon.
I met Randy a few years ago, and he has become one of my key teachers in the area of ecological discipleship. Becoming Rooted contains 100 short meditations accompanied by questions and ideas for action. Randy has given me permission to share with you a few excerpts, which I will do over the next three weeks.
Click below to listen to The Elk and the Loon.
I found this meditation, and the closing questions, particularly helpful to me. I've been thinking about my habit of going for long walks, and that during the pandemic I have been listening to music or podcasts while I walk more than usual. I have been feeling a need to break this habit and get back to listening to the sounds around me. I encourage you to try and do the same, wherever you live. Go for a walk and just listen.
This meditation also connected with me because a loon call is one of my favorite sounds as well. I actually learned to do a loon call - if you want to hear my attempt, you can listen below.
If you enjoyed The Elk and the Loon, I encourage you to purchase the book. If you are a Circlewood supporter (our parent ministry), you can just wait a few weeks - we will be sending the book to you and hosting an exclusive webinar with Randy just for you.
With you on the Way,
James

Olá!
Diga-me, Caro Leitor,
qual é a estrela que pode ser considerada
como a rainha de todas as demais estrelas?
Sirius!
Stellarium
Caro Leitor,
em Postagens anteriores,
viemos conversando sobre o Gigante Caçador Orion
e estamos também comentando
sobre algumas constelações de seu entorno
e que fazem parte de alguns dos Mitos do Caçador
- o Rio de Estrelas, Eridanus; Lepus, a Lebre;
Cão Maior e Cão Menor, Canis Major e Canis Minor,
e Monoceros, o Unicórnio.
Estas todas constelações vêm se despedindo
de nossos sempre prazerosos olhares,
vêm já caindo cedo
por detrás do horizonte oeste.
Sendo assim, é tempo de aproveitarmos
ainda esses momentos
para bem apreciarmos e estudarmos
essa parte dos céus estrelados.
Title: [The January, February & March Sky -- Cancer, Perseus, Gemini, Taurus, Orion, Monceros, Canis Major, Lepus, Argo Navis, Hydra, Perseus, Lynx, etc.]
Map Maker: Elijah J. Burritt
Nesta Postagem, Caro Leitor,
encontre alguma informação sobre Sírius,
sistema binário
- Sírius A é a estrela visível
e Sírius B já saiu da seqüência principal
e tornou-se uma anã branca.
E encontre também informações
sobre M41, o único Objeto Messier
na direção da constelação do Cão Maior,
Canis Majoris.
Com um abraço estrelado,
Janine Milward

CANIS MAJOR, O CÃO MAIOR
Posicionamento:
Ascensão Reta 6h9m / 7h26m Declinação -11o.o / -33o.2
Mito:
O cão que Júpiter colocou para guardar Europa,
a quem o Deus havia roubado e levado para Crete.
Outro mito, entretanto, conta que o Cão poderia representar Laelaps,
o cachorro de Actaeton;
ou o cão da ninfa Procris;
ou o cão que Cephalus deu para Aurora.
Finalmente, um dos cães de Orion, o Gigante Caçador.
Algumas Informações Interessantes acerca esta Constelação:
Os Egípcios representavam Sirius como Anúbis,
o deus com cabeça de chacal.
Sirius aparecia no leste antes da chegada do Sol
quando o Rio Nilo estava prestes a trazer o começo de suas enchentes,
e, dessa forma,
esta estrela era de grande importância
dentro do calendário egípcio.

Sirius era conhecida no antigo Egito como Spodet (do grego: Sothis), está registrada nos registros astronômicos mais antigos. Durante o Médio Império, os egípcios tomaram como base de seu calendário o nascer helíaco de Sírus, ou seja, o dia em que ele torna-se visível pouco antes do nascer do Sol e estando suficientemente afastado do brilho dele. Este evento ocorria antes da inundação anual do rio Nilo e do solstício de verão[1], após estar ausente do céu por setenta dias. O hieróglifo para Sothis é uma estrela e um triângulo. Sothis era relacionada com a deusa Ísis, enquanto o período de setenta dias com a passagem de Ísis e Osíris pelo tuat, o submundo egípcio.
Os gregos da antiguidade observaram que a aparência de Sírius poderia anunciar um verão quente e seco, e temeram que isso fizesse as plantas murcharem, enfraquecesse os homens e estimulasse o desejo nas mulheres. Por causa de seu brilho, foi observado que Sírius cintila mais nas condições meteorológicas instáveis do início do verão. Para os observadores gregos isto eram emanações de influência maligna e pessoas que sofressem de seus efeitos eram ditos astroboletos(αστροβολητος) ou atingidos pela estrela. A estação seguindo a aparição da estrela foi chamada de Dias de Cão do verão. Os habitantes da ilha de Ceos no Mar Egeuofereciam sacrifícios a Sírius e a Zeus para trazerem brisas refrescantes enquanto aguardavam a aparência com que a estrela reapareceria no próximo verão. Se aparecesse fraca então emanaria pestes, do contrário traria boa sorte. As moedas recuperadas do século III antes de Cristo mostravam cães ou estrelas cercados de raios, ressaltando a importância de Sírius. Os romanos celebravam o poente helíaco de Sírius por volta do dia 25 de abril, sacrificando um cão com incenso, vinho e umcarneiro para a deusa Robigalia para que as emanações não trouxessem a ferrugem do trigo para as plantações[2].
Ptolomeu de Alexandria mapeou as estrelas nos livros VII e VIII do Almagesto, no qual utilizou Sírius como a localização para o meridiano central. Curiosamente ele a descreveu como uma das seis estrelas vermelhas. Entre as outras estão Arcturus e Betelgeuse.
Estrelas brilhantes eram importantes para os antigos polinésios para navegação entre as várias ilhas e atois no Oceano Pacífico. Quando estão baixas no horizonte, elas agiam como bússolas estelares para ajudar navegantes a traçar cursos para alguns destinos. Também serviram como marcadores de latitude: A declinação de Sírius coincide com a latitude do arquipélago de Fiji a 17°S e passa diretamente sobre as ilhas todas a noites. Sírus serviu como o corpo de uma constelação de um "Grande Pássaro" chamado Manu, com a ponta da asa sul em Canopus e da asa norte em Procyon, dividindo o céu noturno em dois hemisférios. Assim como a aparição de Sírius marcava o verão na Grécia, marcava o início de um inverno frio para os Maori, cujo nome Takurua servia tanto para a estrela quanto para a estação. A culminação no solstício de inverno era marcada por uma celebração no Havaí, onde era conhecida por Ka'ulua ou "Rainha do Céu". Outros povos polinésios também atribuíram-lhe os nomes Tau-ua nas ilhas Marquesas, Rehua na Nova Zelândia e Aa ou Hoku-Kauopae no Havaí.
História e mitologia
Do ponto de vista histórico, Sirius sempre foi o centro das atenções, fruto de um significado muito especial dado pelas mais diversas culturas.
Foi alvo de adoração sob a alcunha de Sothis no Vale do Nilo do Egipto, muito antes de Roma ter sido fundada, tendo sido construídos diversos templos de forma a permitir que a luz de Sirius penetrasse em seus altares internos. Crê-se que o calendário egípcio seria baseado na ascensão helíaca de Sirius, a qual ocorre um pouco antes das cheias anuais do rio Nilo e do solstício de verão.
Na mitologia grega, consta que os cães caçadores de Órion teriam sido elevados ao céu, pelas mãos de Zeus, na forma da estrela de Sirius ou do conjunto de constelações de Cão Maior e Cão Menor. Os antigos gregos também associavam Sirius ao calor do verão, apelidando-a de Σείριος (Seirios), geralmente traduzido como o escaldador, o que explicaria, por exemplo, a expressão calor do cão.
Na astrologia da Idade Média Sirius era a estrela fixa de Behenia, associada ao berilo e ao junípero, com o símbolo cabalístico listado por Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.
Em 1909, Ejnar Hertzsprung sugeriu que Sirius fizesse parte de Ursa Major, contudo, pesquisas mais recentes realizadas por Jeremy King e outros na Universidade Clemson em 2003 questionam a veracidade dessa hipótese, visto que os dois componentes de Sirius aparentam ser muito jovens.

Sistema binário
Sírius é uma estrela binária de duas estrelas brancas orbitando entre si a uma distância de 20 unidades astronômicas, aproximadamente a distância entre o Sol e Urano, com um período de 50,1 anos. A estrela mais brilhante denominada Sírius A é uma estrela de sequência principal do tipo espectral A1V, com uma temperatura na superfície de 9940 K. Sua companheira, Sírius B, é uma estrela que já saiu da sequência principal e se tornou uma anã branca. Atualmente é dez mil vezes menos luminosa no espectro visível. Anteriormente Sírius B era a mais massiva das duas estrelas. A idade do sistema foi estimada em 230 milhões de anos. Acredita-se que no início de sua formação, o sistema tinha duas estrelas azuis orbitando uma a outra em uma órbita elíptica de 9,1 anos. O sistema emite uma quantidade maior que a esperada de radiação infra-vermelha, medido pelo observatório espacial IRAS. Isto pode ser uma indicação de poeira no sistema, o que é não é usual para uma estrela binária. Uma imagem do observatório de raios-X Chandra mostra Sírius B brilhando mais que sua companheira pois e uma fonte mais intensa de raios-X.

Messier 41 (também conhecido como M41 ou NGC 2287) é um aglomerado estelar aberto na constelação de Canis Major. Foi descoberto por Giovanni Battista Hodierna em1654 e foi, talvez, conhecido por Aristóteles, cerca de 325 a.C.1 M41 fica a cerca de quatro graus quase exatamente ao sul de Sirius. Ele contém cerca de 100 estrelas, incluindo várias gigantes vermelhas, a mais brilhante é do tipo espectral K3 gigante perto do centro do aglomerado. Estima-se que o aglomerado está se afastando de nós a 23,3 km/s.2 O diâmetro do aglomerado é entre 25 e 26 anos-luz. Sua idade é estimada entre 190 e 240 milhões de anos.
.....................................
John Ellard Gore afirma que o aglomerado aberto foi visto por Aristóteles em 325 a.C., o que classificaria M41 como oobjeto do céu profundo de menor brilho já visto naAntiguidade. Entretanto, a declaração não e ponto comum entre os historiadores da astronomia. A.A. Barnett afirma que não foi o aglomerado que Aristóteles descreveu, mas sim um pedaço da Via-Láctea próxima à estrela Delta Canis Majoris.3
Giovanni Battista Hodierna foi o primeiro a catalogar o aglomerado antes de 1654, embora viesse a ser conhecido após a redescoberta independentemente de John Flamsteedem 16 de fevereiro de 1702. Foi novamente redescoberto por Guillaume Le Gentil em 1749, e por Charles Messier, que o adicionou em seu catálogo em 16 de janeiro de 1765.3

I guess I ought to be flattered that Susan Demas at MLive took an entire article to tell me how wrong I am: Left complains about ‘almost secret’ workers’ compensation hearing on TV right now.
I just wish she would have gotten my blog’s name spelled right.
While promoting the liberal group We Are The People Michigan’s efforts against HB 5002, the liberal blogger “Electablog” wrote a piece today with this headline: Almost-secret hearing on Mich Workers Compensation changes happening TODAY!.
Mr. Electablog argues…
I say more power to Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Chair Mark Jansen (R-Fawn River Twp.) for working in Lansing this week.
I can take my lumps. I wouldn’t put my opinions out there if I couldn’t. I happen to disagree with her that it’s perfectly normal to schedule such a controversial hearing during a legislative break. I also think she doesn’t realize that the main reason that hearing room is so packed is that We Are The People and lefty bloggers like me have been spreading the word about it for a week now.
But, hey, maybe she’s right. Maybe most of the legislators don’t actually leave town during the Thanksgiving break (despite arguments to the contrary when called on it by Gretchen Whitmer last week.) The House isn’t having ANY committee meetings this week and there are only three in the Senate but perhaps that’s normal. I realize it’s on Senate TV and was on the Senate website. That’s why I said “almost”-secret. My contention is that they chose this week intentionally because it’s a holiday week, most people are distracted by that and most anyone who cares knows the legislature is on break. Still, I’ll concede that, as she says right at the beginning of her piece, “reasonable people can disagree”.
But, seriously, you write an entire article about how some unpaid blogger is wrong and then spell the blog’s name wrong twice in the piece? And that’s “news”?
Aye, aye, aye… I hope she got my tweet about it.
Apparently, I also represent the entire “left”. Sorry, guys. I had no idea.
UPDATE: Apparently she did get my tweet. It has been corrected.
UPDATE 2: Ooo. Touchy, touchy.
Seriously? You write an entire piece for one of the bigger media outlets in the state criticizing some nobody blogger and then get pissy when he tweaks your nose right back? Seriously? How very professional.
And, for the record, you won’t find the phrase “super secret” in anything I have written about this.

Love outdoor play?
I know my daughters have had a great summer. How? Well walking back from the swimming pool on Friday the eldest one took off her shoes so she could regain some foot freedom. And the youngest grabbed my hand chattering about the different types of apples she wants to eat (Royal Bath, Katie and Russett were mentioned).
Friends and dens
Then at the weekend they met up with friends at a local festival and instead of buying tat with their £2 pound coin they split into friend gangs and rushed into the small bit of woodland (it’s a pocket park!) to make a den and get lost in play. Hours later they returned covered in blackberry juice and as happy and relaxed as I’ve ever seen them. There was one mishap: a less outdoory child was stung by a nettle, fearful of the dock leaf my daughter proferred as a cure, but her tears stopped when the St John’s Ambulance put her whole arm in a bandage.
Not all parents/carers are going to be happy about raising a wild child – but tomorrow a fantastic new campaign is being launched, Love Outdoor Play – that will hopefully give masses of us more confidence to let our kids explore the great outdoors, just by playing. You can find out more about how to help kickstart it at this website, and even donate a small amount to crowd fund the stickers. Do have a look now, it’s genius.
What stickers?
I’m imagining stickers on doors all over the neighbourhood that announce the occupants willingness to let their kids play outside (just like Neighbourhood Watch or No Junk Mail Please). With those stickers up I’m imagining more days when we can just rope off a road and let the locals kick a ball, walk stilts, chalk pictures or simply meet their nearest same-age friends for a chat and a giggle. And in places with more greenery than my home I’m imagining an assumption that the kids will ask “Can I play out?” because they know other friends will be playing out too…
Any ideas how to make your area better for playing out that would suit our Homemade Kids? I always think benches are a good start, especially if you’ve got little ones to watch. But adding interest to a street – say flower beds around the tree pits – is another simple change as it gives all-age kids a chance to stop, stare and be transported to their magical, creative worlds.

Twenty One jumps out of gate
This article was published August 16, 2012 at 3:40 a.m.
PHOTO BY RICK MCFARLAND
“The Rocket Burger” at Twenty One features a prime beef patty with cheddar cheese, fried pickles, spicy mayonnaise and mustard on an eggbread bun, plus a side of kitchen-made chips.
LITTLE ROCK Hope and change. Not just a political mantra, it’s a business prayer: Somebody takes over a good thing and changes it. And everybody hopes he doesn’t screw it up.
The dust, literal and metaphorical, has pretty much settled at the landmark restaurant in Hillcrest’s Ice House Center, 2601 Kavanaugh Blvd., Little Rock. And while it’s not the place it was, it’s still pretty darn good.
The restaurant has had many names over the past three decades. Most recently, it was named Ferneau, after its ownerexecutive chef, Donnie Ferneau Jr. Now it’s called Twenty One — or, to be formal and completely accurate, Rocket Twenty One. New owner Frank Fletcher reportedly named it after a racehorse.
Fletcher has brought in managers from his two other restaurants, the Riverfront Steakhouse and Benihana, in his Wyndham Riverfront in North Little Rock.
But Ferneau remains the executive chef, which is important. Fletcher certainly recognizes that; he has emblazoned the information, along with a small styl- ized drawing of the horse (above and to the left of the new name), on the front awning.
Inside, he has ditched Ferneau’s original decor, the earth-tone walls specked with intriguing flares of mosaic tiling, for darker colors, solid blues and reds, with “Blue Dog” prints and paintings by George Rodrigue dominating the walls.
Actually, they’re more than dominant — they’re ubiquitous, starting with the “Blue Dog” welcome mat. (There’s an encomium to art and artist on the restaurant’s new website, twentyonerestaurant.com.)
Fletcher has also fulfilled a promise to reduce the bar seating area, rebuilding and extending the bar (which now shines with an inner glow), and to separate the bar area from the dining room, with a cool-looking glass-cabinet wine storage on one side and a huge fish tank on the other.
Two- and four-top tables are still topped by black tablecloths; framework chairs now have comfortable black pads in the seats. On the tables is the same uber-cool, scimitar-shaped silverware, ergonomically designed for right-handed people but a challenge for lefties; now, to match them, there are similar, sloping Tower of Pisa water glasses.
Twenty One still has two patios, one on the Kavanaugh side, the other facing Walnut Street. Hot as it has been, we’ve actually seen folks eating, or at least smoking, out there.
Ferneau and Fletcher have resolved their to-be-expected tussle over the new menu. It’s no surprise that it largely reflects Fletcher’s choices. But Ferneau gets to decide how they’re executed. And he has the freedom to offer specials of his own creation.
Ferneau has spoken often of trying to better educate local palates. Fletcher’s new menu takes that out of the equation; it leans more toward solid American than New American fare. For example, steaks are now “Twenty One’s Specialty,” and you can get ’em with a side baked potato that Ferneau says he initially opposed, but is now proud to offer.
The centerpiece of the lunch menu is a big ol’ burger, also initially not Donnie’s choice. In fact, Twenty One has gone pretty much all out for lunch, something at which Ferneau had not previously succeeded. Lunch business is now pretty good and building, and you get a pretty good value in terms of portion and quality vs. price, as well as some unexpected pleasant surprises.
A few items have survived the menu transition, mostly appetizers; some have not, including Ferneau’s frequently changing but always dependable signature scallops.
Weren’t we lucky, then, to learn, about the time we discovered the “hole” in the menu, that Ferneau had prepared as that night’s special Diver Scallops ($27) in a zippy soy-butter sauce, accompanied by brown rice and sunonomo, a Japanese cucumber-onion salad? Smiles all ’round, before and after consumption.
At the start of the same meal, we fell, hard, for the appetizer special, the “Heirloom Stack” ($13), thick slices of fresh mozzarella layered with thick slabs of absolutely fresh purplish heirloom tomatoes, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette and garnished with shreds of fresh basil and fresh baby spinach.
We didn’t get around this time to trying the Gouda Grilled Cheese With Smoked Salmon ($12), a favorite of long standing, but we did get to revisit, with some joy, the Escargot With Maytag Bleu and Puff Pastry ($13), about a dozen always surprisingly tender snails in a sort of soupy broth with a Maytag bleu cheese base, topped with a token piece of crisp, flaky puff pastry and with a layer of sog-ified puff pastry beneath.
If you’re a shrimp cocktail fan, this is a good one ($12) — a half-dozen plump shrimp, cooked to proper firmness, then chilled, tails hanging over the edge of a goblet and served with a house-made cocktail and spicy garlic-lemon dipping sauces.
There’s a $1.75 price difference between the lunch and dinner versions of the Panko Encrusted Calamari appetizer, with the same dipping sauces ($7.75 lunch, $9.50 dinner, when the “other” sauce is identified as Blackened Lemon Aioli). The lunch portion was plenty large, and the lightly coated calamari was outstanding, the absolute epitome of tenderness. (As we all know, if you overcook calamari, you might as well outsource it to Firestone.)
Misspelling aside, we also enjoyed our Ferneau Ceasar Salad ($7 small, $9.50 large), romaine lettuce in a tangy Caesar dressing topped with diced tomatoes (maybe that’s what makes it a “Ceasar” and not a Caesar) and a few crisp croutons. It comes with a portion of whole anchovies, sort of shoved to one side so that, if you’re not partial to anchovies, you can keep shoving them aside until they’re off the plate.
Ferneau holdover Grilled Ahi Tuna (market price was $38) is lightly seared so it’s still cool-pink-red in the middle; it now comes in a tangy soy-mustard sauce (we detected the slightest tinge of mustard at the flavor edges, and Intrepid Companion, who’s no fan of mustard and had been a little hesitant to order it for that reason, found no fault). The plate presentation-side item combination is the same as with the scallops.
Since steaks are now “Twenty One’s Specialty,” we tried the 10-ounce Filet Mignon ($34.95), a touch on the rare side of medium rare, but otherwise about as close to perfect as we’ve had a steak in recent weeks: a fine cut of prime beef, about as wide as it was thick, almost fork-tender and perfectly seasoned with just the right crustiness on the edges.
Diners have a choice of complementary steak sauces, including hollandaise, red wine “demi-gloss,” roasted garlic steak butter and “Horseradish and Woosta” sauce, which reminded us of something but not enough to remember what it was. And in any case, adding it to one bite of our steak convinced us we didn’t need it and didn’t want any more of it.
You can also get your steak crusted with pepper (no additional charge); bluecheese crusted, $3; with bourbon mushrooms, $5; with a fried egg, $2; or Oscar-style, topped with blue crab and hollandaise, $7.50.
Most of the entrees, and especially the steaks, do not come with sides per se (a couple of tomato slices helped fill in the vacant spot on the plates), but there’s an a la carte selection.
We were disappointed, after Ferneau’s send-up on our first dinner visit of his “largest in town” baked potato ($3.75), to discover that on our second visit the kitchen was out of them.
The Jalapeno Creamed Corn ($3) did have a discernible jalapeno flavor, but it wasn’t spicy enough to satisfy Intrepid Companion. Our Bourbon Pecan Crusted Sweet Potatoes ($6.50) were plentiful but fairly bland, especially after we had consumed the minimal bourbon pecan crust.
A few items transcend time of day. For example, the Classic Fettucine With Garlic Alfredo on the lunch menu ($7.95 with fresh spinach, add $3.95 for chicken, $4.50 for shrimp) at dinner is labeled Smoked Fettucine Alfredo ($12).
Another example: We were excellently pleased with our lively lunchtime Shrimp and Grits ($9.75, but $26 for dinner — can the evening portion be that much larger?) with tasso, green onions and tomatoes, finished with a shot of buttermilk.
We were similarly, or possibly even more, delighted with the Bowtie Cheddar Macn-Cheese, an entree at lunch ($6.75) and a side dish at dinner ($6.50), firm farfalle lightly coated with a mild but distinct cheddar sauce.
The most amazing thing about the “The Rocket Burger” is the price — $6.95 for a huge prime beef patty topped with cheddar, fried pickles, spicy mayonnaise and mustard on a “holla” (aka “challah”) eggbread bun, plus a side of crisp, thick, kitchen-made chips. The second most amazing thing was how good it was. An extra $2 for bacon turned out to be a very good flavor-and-texture investment.
Our opener also turned out to be a pleasant surprise: Fried pickles, lightly dusted with parmesan cheese, with a piquant peppercorn ranch dip/dressing ($6.95).
The one area in which Twenty One has fallen off is in the service. A few of the wait staff remain from former Ferneau days, but the newer ones are not as well trained or as circumspect.
Service was generally slower and we had waiters missing in action for extended periods of time. On one dinner visit, the waitress never told us about that night’s specials. One waiter, though he got our actual wine order correct, repeatedly referred to pinot grigio, which is a white wine, as pinot noir, which isn’t.
They still, however, refold and reposition the black dinner napkins of folks who have arisen from the table to go to the rest room or out onto a patio to smoke.

In Dave Torre's blog post, he built a function
get_shortest to retrieve the shortest string from
a list. Its signature looks like this:
fn get_shortest(names: Vec<String>) -> Option<String>
We see that the return type is an
Option<String>. The reason for that is that the shortest element of an
empty list should be
None, as shown here:
let names = vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]; get_shortest(names) //=> Some("Uku") let empty = Vec::new(); get_shortest(empty) //=> None
We can build on this function and use it to show the shortest name to the user. If the list
is empty we should just show
"Not found". How might we implement this?
It is very common to use pattern matching to get the job done:
fn show_shortest(names: Vec<&str>) -> String { match get_shortest(names) { Some(shortest) => shortest, _ => "Not Found", } } show_shortest(vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]) //=> "Uku" show_shortest(Vec::new()) //=> "Not Found"
The function now works as advertised, but the implementation is more complex than it needs to be.
Rust provides a much easier way to grab the boxed value of an
Option with a default fallback
for
None
fn show_shortest(names: Vec<&str>) -> String { get_shortest(names).unwrap_or("Not Found") }
This behaves exactly like our first pattern-matching solution, returning the shortest string
or
"Not Found" if the list was empty.
I find this version easier to read and understand since we don't have to interpret as many
elements of syntax (
match,
=> and
_).
The result of the operation is also evident in the name of the function: either unwrap the inner value of
Some or use
"Not Found" instead.
Map
At first it is natural to unwrap the value of an
Option as quickly as possible.
Getting burned by the infamous
NullPointerException has created a culture of avoiding nulls, but
the
Option type is different. As opposed to
null, optional values are part of the type system.
Hence they can safely be passed around and operated on like any other first-class value.
For example, say our users wanted a function to find out the length of the shortest name in a list.
Given that we already have
get_shortest, it should be a matter of just calling length
on its result. However, we know that
get_shortest returns an optional value, so what is the
length of
None? Without support for optional values, we might come up with a special constant
or throw an exception to handle this case, but luckily we don't have to. If optional values are
supported, we can just say that the length of
None is
None.
Here is how we might implement it:
fn get_shortest_length(names: Vec<&str>) -> Option<usize> { match get_shortest(names) { Some(shortest) => Some(shortest.len()), None => None, } } get_shortest_length(vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]) //=> Some(3) get_shortest_length(Vec::new()); //=> None
Again, this works just fine, but we force readers to untangle the pattern-matching expression
in their heads. Have a closer look at the pairing of possible inputs on the left of
=>
and outputs on the right of it. Notice that the container does not change:
None maps to
None and
Some to
Some.
That seems to be enough of a pattern to extract it into a separate function.
Rust provides exactly such a
map function that we can make use of instead:
fn get_shortest_length(names: Vec<&str>) -> Option<usize> { get_shortest(names).map(|shortest| shortest.len()) } get_shortest_length(vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]) //=> Some(3) get_shortest_length(Vec::new()); //=> None
As you can see,
map takes care of all of the boilerplate and allows us to express
intent more concisely. In many ways, mapping over an optional is similar to mapping
over a collection. The difference is in how the lamdba expression is handled: for collections it is
called once for each element, for optionals it is only called if the value exists.
You may also notice that we don't have to manually wrap the return value of
shortest.len().
The
map function maintains the contract that we discussed earlier:
None maps to
None and
Some to
Some.
And Then
Our imaginary shortest name feature is starting to gain more popularity and the users' demand is growing. In addition to the shortest name and its length, they would like to see more information about the user with that name. This information must be pulled from another service and parsed from JSON. Both of these functions aready exist:
fn find_user_by_name(name: String) -> Option<JSON> fn json_to_user(json: JSON) -> Option<User>
Since mapping worked so well the last time, why not use it for this problem:
fn get_user_with_shortest_name(names: Vec<&str>) -> Option<User> { get_shortest(names) .map(|shortest| find_user_by_name(shortest)) .map(|user| json_to_user(user)) }
Running this through the compiler gives us an error:
<anon>:18:37: 18:41 error: mismatched types: expected `collections::string::String`, found `core::option::Option<collections::string::String>` (expected struct `collections::string::String`, found enum `core::option::Option`) [E0308] <anon>:18 .map(|user| json_to_user(user)) ^~~~
The compiler is actually right — mapping is not the appropriate operation in this case.
Since
map wraps its return value in an
Option, it does not compose well with functions
that already return optional values like
find_user_by_name and
json_to_user. Trying to combine these functions
results in double-wrapping the value in every call to
map, which turns our user record into something like
Some(Some(Some(User{name: "Uku"}))).
So it looks like our types are not lining up properly. Let's just write what we want to do manually and refactor later.
fn get_user_with_shortest_name(names: Vec<&str>) -> Option<User> { let shortest = get_shortest(names); if shortest.is_some() { let json = find_user_by_name(shortest.unwrap()); if json.is_some() { json_to_user(json.unwrap()) } else { None } } else { None } } let names = vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]; get_user_with_shortest_name(names) //=> Some(User { name: "Uku" })
This seems to work, but there's one problem with it: nobody wants to write code like this.
There's a clear pattern in the way we check for presence every step of the way, so
abstracting this chain should be trivial. Luckily, Rust has a built-in method called
and_then that can help us out.
fn get_user_with_shortest_name(names: Vec<&str>) -> Option<User> { get_shortest(names) .and_then(|shortest| find_user_by_name(shortest)) .and_then(|user| json_to_user(user)) } let names = vec!["Uku", "Felipe"]; get_user_with_shortest_name(names) //=> Some(User { name: "Uku" })
and_then works similarly to
map, but it makes less assumptions about the function passed into it.
Instead of wrapping the return value in an
Option automatically,
it lets the function choose the return type. This grants us the power to create a chain
of operations where any link can possibly return
None.
It may be easier to see the subtle difference between
map and
and_then
by composing simple arithmetic functions. For example, we
know that addition always produces a result, while dividing by zero is meaningless.
If we encode this with optionals, we get these two signatures:
fn add(num1: i32, num2: i32) -> i32 fn div(num1: i32, num2: i32) -> Option<i32>
In a chain of functions applied to an optional integer, these two functions must be treated differently:
Some(3) .map(|n| add(n, 5)) .and_then(|n| div(16,n)) // => Some(2)
The general rule of thumb is to use
map for plain functions from value to value,
but use
and_then for functions from value to an optional value.
A smart box
I like to think of the
Option type as a box and pattern matching as opening the box.
It turns out that
Option is intelligent enough that we usually don't have to peek
inside of it to achieve the desired effect. They actually know how to unwrap themselves,
run operations on the contained value, combine themselves with other optionals, and much more.
I encourage everyone to explore this standard API and challenge yourselves to not look inside
the box.
Combined with the fact that optional values are part of the type system, these functions make them very different from regular null handling. In Java or Ruby it is important to check for null as early as possible to avoid invalid states. However, in languages like Rust you can leverage optional values in high-level business logic without fear of running into an unexpected null.

Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO, the legendary investor Warren Buffett, is going to be visiting Detroit today by making a rare stopover. He will be there as part of the 10,000 Small Businesses initiative put forth by Goldman Sachs. The Oracle of Omaha granted the Free Press some phone time on Monday, and here are some of the questions asked of him and the answers that he gave.
Free Press Question:
How often do you make it to Detroit? What’s the deal with mixing it up with Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions?
Buffett’s answer:
“I’ve not been there for a long time. Ndamukong Suh tried to get me to stay over Thanksgiving for the football game. Two weeks ago, I arm-wrestled him (at a mentorship event in Nebraska), and after toying with him for a few minutes, I pinned him. I made him sign a release before we did it, that if I hurt him, he would not sue me.”
Free Press question:
Do you have any other thoughts about Detroit, besides it being a great place for the Goldman Sachs small business initiative?
Buffett’s answer:
“My hero when I was a kid was Hank Greenberg. When I was 9 years old, I went to my first baseball game, which was 1939, and I read all about the 1938 season (when Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers was baseball’s first unanimous MVP selection), so I can tell you about him hitting his 58 home runs.
Incidentally, I love (Quicken Loans Chairman) Dan Gilbert. I’ve gotten to know him pretty well, and he is a one-man outreach, or whatever you want to call it, publicity man for Detroit — and he’s good. What he’s done with Quicken is incredible. … He’s gained market share year after year in that business, and that means hiring more people.”
Free Press question:
What are your thoughts about the newspaper business nowadays?
Buffett’s answer:
“We bought four good-sized newspapers this year, in Tulsa, Atlantic City, Greensboro and Roanoke — so we have 28 or 29 dailies. Our papers are doing OK. They’re in midsized cities. I think it’s tougher, frankly, when you get into really big metropolitan areas. … I think a newspaper has to be primary as a news source to a community. And I think it’s very tough in a New York City or a Los Angeles. It’s a lot easier in a Tulsa, Okla., or a Greensboro, N.C. We have been focused on those kind of papers, and we will buy more.
The one thing I can guarantee you is we will not cut the news hole. The idea of selling less and less for more and more is not a winning system. I love newspapers. I read five every day.”
Free Press question:
Your investment company Berkshire Hathaway owns roughly 3% of General Motors. What’s your take on the auto industry and General Motors itself?
Buffett’s answer:
“I’m delighted we have it, but it was a decision that was made by (portfolio manager) Ted Weschler to buy that.
If you go back to March 6 or something like that in 2009, I was on CNBC, and that was the day before the Dow hit a low, and I got asked about whether the government ought to move in and and give help to the auto companies, and I’m glad to say I called that one right.
It was huge, the way they came back. It’s amazing, all three of them. When you think of the ripple effect with the suppliers and everything else, it would have been a disaster if the government hadn’t come in. You’ve got to give credit to the industry for … making the most of it.”

I recently witnessed the museum transform, as Edinburgh Festival Fever took hold!
You may have already noticed this festival fever on the streets of Edinburgh. It is easy to see it in many places around the city… Crowds swarm around street entertainers, music streams from street corners, people form long queues to squeeze into small rooms with the hope that someone will make them laugh and buildings often forgotten in the vast city landscape take on a new lease of life as they fling their doors open to comedians, musicians, artists and actors.
Need some #MondayMotivation? Just listen to a few seconds of singing from the Tshwane Gospel Choir. This was them performing at the #NMSAfterHours event at our museum on Friday. #EdFringe #Edinburgh #MuseumLates #EdinburghFestival @tshwanegospelchoir A video posted by National Museums Scotland (@nationalmuseumsscotland) on

I stayed close to the Main Stage as Discoteque Machine took to the floor and I was immediately in awe of their crazy choreography. They encouraged some nimble members of the audience up to join them for a dance. I was equally impressed by all of the moves from these volunteers, they were soon all shaking their hips and waving their arms like professional Morphs!

In fact, a number of spaces became performance areas and there was a real sense of the Fringe happening all around the museum. I later spotted artists from the Da-da-darling group elegantly sweeping down the stairs and curators from the Art and Design department collecting opinions and sharing insights into the new Fashion and Style Galleries on Level 2.

Well lookie here. There are only five entries left in my Top 100 Albums of the ’90s countdown. I’m gonna spend a little bit more time on each of our remaining classics, starting with #5 – the album that transformed Atlanta, Georgia, into a hip hop mecca.
5. Outkast – Aquemini
There’s something inherently captivating about duos. Two people whose chemistry is inevitably intertwined with their creations, who push one another to heights they could never achieve individually. It’s why Simon was never as good without Garfunkel. Jack is lost without Meg. And Tip sounds incomplete without Phife.
In 1998, the rap duo Outkast released an album that was about this specific dynamic. They called it Aquemini, a portmanteau of the rapper/producers’ zodiac signs (Big Boi is an Aquarius; Andre 3000 is a Gemini), and proceeded to write songs about the intensity of their friendship and the magic of their chemistry, while exhibiting a zen-like acceptance of its eventual demise.
And all of this held water, because musically, these guys were at their absolute peak. They invited live musicians to their Atlanta studio to stretch, deepen and distort their sound, slow-roasting it until any resemblance to East or West Coast rap had sloughed off onto the coals. Aquemini absorbed the sprawling, earthy aesthetic of Parliament-Funkadelic more organically than Dr. Dre’s samples ever could. It set a bar for Dirty South hip hop that has arguably never been cleared. It’s one of the boldest, most self-aware recordings in rap history.
“Stickin’ together like flour and water to make that slow dough / We worked for everything we have and gon’ stick up for / Each other,” proclaims Big Boi on his first verse of the album. The song, ironically titled “Return of the ‘G’,” is a spleen-vent against anybody who was weirded out by Outkast’s 1996 LP, ATLiens (#83 on this list). They’d left the “harder” gangsta rap of their hit debut in the dust, in favor of longer, spacier, more overtly Southern funk experiments. They weren’t pimps anymore. They were aliens. And that was alienating to people who don’t take kindly to change.
“Some of my fashion choices people didn’t accept at the time. I started getting flak from some people, so they were like, ‘Either he’s gay or on drugs,’” Andre shared in an interview. It’s the kind of situation that regularly destroys artistic partnerships – blowback from fans largely directed to one artist, who ends up getting an inordinate amount of attention. Outkast responded by closing ranks.
Aquemini’s lyrical scope is as wide as its sonic palette, including stories about how poverty can strangle hope, detailed deconstructions of failed relationships, and a myriad of ways to let us know why Big Boi and Dre are the type of people that make the club get crunk. But that sense of brotherhood is the common thread, the unifying vision that makes this ambitious, 75-minute album feel not only coherent, but full of exhilarating urgency right up until the last wailing guitar note of “Chonkyfire.” Even the few skippable moments – a pair of skits set in a record store where Outkast haters can’t wait to hear the new “Pimp Trick Gangsta Clique” album – are rooted in the adversity that tempered their bond.
Aptly, it’s on the horoscope-melding title track where everything comes together, and the core ethos of this record is laid bare. Over a syrupy R&B groove where glittering guitar chords can seemingly ring out forever, Andre whispers a chorus about impermanence:
Nothing is for sure
Nothing is for certain
Nothing lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It’s him and I, Aquemini
Some people use the inevitable end of things as a good reason to give up. This pair of 23 year olds took it as irrefutable evidence that they needed to work even harder. Because the energy created by their duality was special. And thanks to the miracle of recording technology, they had the ability to trap that energy in amber.
Eight years after Aquemini ruled the world, Outkast dropped their clunky film project Idlewild. It was the duo’s first true misstep, and Big Boi and Andre 3000 went their separate ways soon after. They could’ve stayed together and made expertly crafted rap music for years to come. But they could feel that curtain closing. Even when they broke up, they were absolutely on the same page. Today, with popular music an ever-growing cult of personality, there are very few duos making noise. But we can still press play on Aquemini and sit in wonder of what can happen when two driven, talented individuals find inspiration in one another.

Rochester, Minn. – KIMT has confirmed that John Adams Middle School in Rochester was evacuated Thursday due to an odor of natural gas.
Students were quickly allowed back into the school and classes were dismissed as scheduled.
The following message was distributed to parents of John Adams students:
“Dear JA Families,
Earlier today we sent communication notifying you that John Adams was evacuated briefly due to the odor of natural gas. District officials assisted with the evacuation and MN Energy and Rochester Fire Department (RFD) arrived quickly on the scene. RFD provided an all-clear and students returned to the building. This occurred near the end of the day, but student dismissal was on-time.
As a result of today’s evacuation, we are postponing this evening’s 7th and 8th grade band concert. We will keep you updated on a rescheduled date.
All of our students and staff are safe and we look forward to resuming our normal schedule tomorrow, Friday, December 8th.
Thank you for your patience,
Kim McDonald, Principal
John Adams Middle School”

David Brooks Now Totally Pathological
By Jonathan Chait (New York Magazine)01/18/13 at 11:50 AM
268 Comments.....
Chait column on moderate conservatives really is a tour de force … H/T
@AriMelber
If everybody's doing it...
Would you want David Brooks’ job?
Don't be too sure. Being a conservative columnist for the New York Times is impossible by design
What’s the toughest job in the United States today? I’ll nominate one: conservative New York Times columnist.Case in point: Jonathan Chait beat up on David Brooks on Friday. It’s brutal, and I have nothing particular to say about the details. But I do question this.Well, maybe.I think there’s a far easier institutional explanation for the regularly contorted efforts of Brooks (and Ross Douthat): The job demands it.David Brooks and Ross Douthat are New York Times op-ed conservatives. That’s their job. The job exists, presumably, for one positive reason — the Times wants ideological diversity on their op-ed page — and, more important, for one negative reason — the Times wants to deflect the charge that it is monolithically liberal. And they want all that along with smart commentary, not partisan hackery.Now, never mind whether this is a smart use of its famously valuable real estate; it’s what the newspaper has decided to do with it. No, not explicitly (at least not publicly), but that’s pretty clearly the job.And in normal times, in the era of William Safire, it worked just fine. Safire could defend most of what the GOP did, dissent on particular issues (and even there he’d have some Repbulican support) and generally help readers of the Times who were otherwise cocooned to know what’s going on with conservatives.That was then.But neither the conservative movement nor the Republican Party of the Reagan era are around any more. And that makes the job impossible.

Is the Republican Party Obama’s fault?Posted by Ezra Klein on January 18, 2013 at 2:07 pm (Washington Post)75 CommentsThe. We should be able to take it for granted that our legislators won’t petulantly crash the economy or offend rape survivors. That the House GOP leadership had to mount an organized campaign to convince GOP members of those things is evidence that something has gone wrong in the Republican Party.No one knows that better than Republicans themselves. But it’s very difficult to be a Republican in a time of GOP dissolution. And so recent weeks have birthed the strangest strain of commentary I can remember: The Republican Party’s crazy opinions are President Obama’s fault.The!...Another version came today from New York Times columnist David Brooks. The column takes the form of Brooks imagining the internal monologue of a White House strategist who’s developing a strategy to destroy the Republican Party. It’s worth quoting at some length...

Spurning David Brooks’ Anguished Cry For HelpBy Ed Kilgore (Washington Monthly)I...
...but only one guy can be the best.
The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the Congress with His Head Up His Ass While Sucking His Own BallsdriftglassNovember 23, 2010Based on his latest 800-word New York Times Centrist embarrassment,....
I am sincerely glad that after writing +500 posts about Mr. Brooks' shameless frauds and fabulisms since I began this blog nearly eight years ago, some members of our professional media are also starting to pick up the scent.
That being said...
17 comments:
I remember that post from 2010; in fact, I think I linked to it.
That Brooks guy just has no shame, and probably not enough of a conscience to put on a cracker.
Brooks: No, no! You don't understand. They're not "invisible"; they're...uh...implicit. See, implicit in everything that guy with the bat did, there is a liberal counter-move or opposite-thingie which makes the Left equally to blame.
OFFICER! I wish to report a theft.
Brooks stole all of that from the Dean, David Broder.

Good morning, Mr. Glass.
"Only one guy can be the best."
Actually, I was thinking more of the ending of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" after Sabertooth saved Wolverine from Weapon 11...
"Nobody kills you but me."
The media gophers are starting to poke their heads out of their burrows. They must think it's safe out there. We know better. They're prolly gonna get bonked by a shovel real soon.
Awesome. I have not been able to picture Brooks' bland visage without your Photoshop accessories; now his thought processes have been illustrated like a Punch magazine cartoon.
I'm happy about that. I think.
Excellent!
Excellent!
Of idleness comes no goodness
It is the nature of the beast; people only turn on their leaders when the leaders can no longer give them what they want/need.
But before that moment arrives, bloggers like you prepare the way. The drip-drip-drip of constant criticism is always there in the background. It will be ignored for a very long time until a critical mass is reached and the followers switch from following the pundit to following the pundit's critics.
Of course most of the followers will just choose a new public opinion leader/big thinker/beltway pundit, but such is blogging.
"Any idiot can look at mere evidence"
Idiot authoritarians won't be happy unless they think they possess secret, hidden knowledge that transcends the obvious. Never mind that they simultaneously claim to be the majority.
If they can't use a secret decoder ring to access the world, they have no choice but to be straightforwardly better than the people around them. And they've tried that for years without getting anywhere.
Drifty as John the Baptist....
Works for me!
Great front page! Makes me long for the days of 21.9 gasoline.
And of course ... I only read you because you ARE the best..you damn pool hustler!
Off topic: I expect the "American Pickers" would LOVE to visit that place in your picture at the top, if they haven't done so already.
Good clean fun, driftglass, thank you
Sorry for the late comment, been out of range in Baja surfing this very fine swell we've been having here on the lefty coast.
I missed the original post of dFb's hypothetical arrest...I must have been in my "c'mon Driftglass, another post on brooks?" phase before I came full circle and accepted the value and necessity to keep plugging, just keep plugging because that's what its gonna take. And with your talent for metaphor, the subversion is that much more effective.

Grab the kids and go to the beach, the park, the playground, or the library. Take the dog to the leash-free area along the waterside, with views of the boats bobbing on their moorings. Ditch the kitchen and walk to one of many casual and fine dining options, such as Neil Perry’s new restaurant, Margaret. Everything is virtually at your doorstep.

Imperial Showdown
Last week, I did a favor for all of humanity, and I tried Founders Devil Dancer and Dark Horse’s Double Crooked Tree back to back in an effort to compare the two. There will obviously be some naysayers claiming that one cannot fairly pass judgement on the second after finishing the first, but these are two very hearty beers. Each delicious to the last drop. Read on to find out more…
First up, I tried Founders Devil Dancer. It’s useless to point out that this has always been a fantastic beer because theres hardly a flaw in either of the two I’m comparing, but I must say, this is so astonishingly well balanced in my opinion. Upon completion, I ate some peanuts, some cheese, and drank a glass of water. I immediately poured the Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree after that. Here is what I noticed between the two.
Pour: Devil Dancer pours a thick copper/tan with extremely little head. Double Crooked Tree pours with a frothy finger thick head, and a lighter copper than the Devil Dancer. Appears to be less body to the beer as well. My theory is that the Devil Dancer basically topped out around 13% and when they force carbonated it, they left it light. Whereas with Double Crooked Tree (which finally pours without yeast!) was force carbonated, after fermentation, possibly in excess. It was not an enormous head, like a belgian, but surprising for an IIPA with as much Oomph.
Aroma: Both aromas are similarly hoppy. Its likely they used the same varieties, as those high AA hops are just not very common. The difference I noticed was that while double crooked tree was all hop and no play, the Devil Dancer rose up with some sweetness, and some serious alcohol. The intriguing thing about this is that the Double Crooked Tree is actually 0.6% higher. It is possible that the sheer abundance of hop aroma in the Double Crooked Tree masked the aroma of the alcohol.
Taste: Heaven. Greatest experiment ever. The Devil Dancer was glorious. It was bitter as hell, really hoppy, a bit malty sweet, with some residual alcohol. The Double Crooked Tree was all hop. It was really good, but I felt and continue to feel that it lacks the complexity and balance of the Devil Dancer.
In conclusion, the Devil Dancer pulls it out for the win. While there were certain improvements over last years Double Crooked Tree, it just can’t hold up to the Devil Dancer. If devil dancer is a true 9.5, Double Crooked Tree is a 9.3. I can’t naysay either of these beers, I can merely say I’ve enjoyed Devil Dancer more. They are both excellent representations of my favorite style.

THE STONE OVEN HOUSE – ART RESIDENCE
DURATION OF THE PROJECT
1st season: from June 2017 to October 2017.
PLACE
Rorà (Turin).
DESCRIPTION
The Stone Oven House is an art residence, based on rural practises in a post-industrial context. Aimed at combining social and environmental harmony, we are establishing an experimental platform for life and creation. The activities in residence follow the principles of: sustainability and sharing economy.
The guests of the residence are invited to reflect on the idea that the village is the city of the future: a place where people work online and live in nature, growing their own vegetables.
One of the main functional elements of the residence is a large stone oven, used to bake food and to dispose of the accomplished art, in order to generate the heat for the oven itself. Art works that are not suitable to be burnt in the stone oven, are reused to satisfy utilitarian needs.
Contemporary art, as a reflection of today’s society, embodies the laws of the art market: artistic overproduction does not match consumer enjoyment. So the art recycling in the Stone Oven House enters this scenario, as a symbolic protest against the conventional dynamics of the contemporary market and as a matter for reflection on production and consumption, including art.
Therefore, the inevitability of art recycling gives artists freedom to create art regardless of its placement on the art market shelves.
Each activity in residence then tries to respect the sustainability reasoning: from the creation of art to its fruition, from the procurement of food to interaction with the local community. We dedicate, moreover, particular attention to the improvement of offline interactions, crucial for a good and healthy community.
We invite to the Stone Oven House both artists and non artists with the mission to bring them together in their lives and professions. We want it to be a pleasant workplace for artists and an unconventional residence for the other guests.
ORGANIZATION
The Stone Oven House is an old stone mountain house (built in 1898), surrounded by nature, with a barn and a stone bread oven. It needs some minor renovations.
The House itself is an exchange: it is granted by the owners for the duration of the first season of the project in exchange for small renovations and maintenance works. Therefore we expect from all guests a small contribution in terms of time and work in the House.
We can accommodate up to 10 people at a time (possibly guests can also sleep in tents especially arranged on the land surrounding the house).
It is expected that each guest stays with us for 2 weeks, but the residence of each individual guest is handled on a case-by-case basis and can vary in place.
Accommodation is guaranteed for free. Food is available on barter. Artists can pay with their artworks, while the other guests can offer anything useful for the residence or any monetary donations.
To partecipate in the project, contact us.

Sharing a bit of art journaling with you today. Time to party over at Paint Party Friday.
( Thanks Eva and Kirsten!!!)
My pages aren't necessarily exciting today, but here's a little journal play.
( Thanks Eva and Kirsten!!!)
My pages aren't necessarily exciting today, but here's a little journal play.
Some things I think worked for me, and some didn't. But overall I am happy with these pages.
Even more so, before I started this journal back in the spring, I would have been afraid to try a lot of these views. I'm come to be ok not only with experimenting, but also when the page doesn't exactly work out. And I love having a journal to record some of the things in life.
Yup, the rear view mirror is upside down.
Glad it is Friday, although I must say this week has flown right by. This has been a very fast month for me. Usually that first month of school drags, but not this year.
And it is suppose to crisp and cool this weekend which sounds nice. I am ready to wear some sweaters.
Not tons on my weekend agenda either.. With the hubby's surgery next week, I know he wants to get the boat put away. I'd like to bake a cake, make some art, take a couple of walks and do a little sewing or knitting.
Lets see what I actually accomplish.
Thank you for visiting, and enjoy your weekend!
17 comments:
Your pages are wonderful Erika, and art journaling is all about experimenting and journaling what's going on in our lives. Good luck for your Hubby with the Bypass surgery! Have a great weekend, and wish you a relaxing time. Hugs, Valerie
Goodness, Erika. I feel your stress and frustration as you prepare for this surgery. I hope the school gives you time off to be with him in Boston as he goes through this day.
Your journal shows how you are coping right now. It may feel like you are doing OK art wise, which you are doing superb, BTW, but emotionally, I can feel your worry and fear.
If nothing else, I'm sure you and hubby will deal with the boat. If you bake, that will relax you. If not, it won't be the end of the world. Let's hope for a fun and relaxing weekend going into next week's operation.
I love how your pages tell things about your life. Hope you get to relax a bit in the weekend, and that hubby's surgery will go smoothly!
I enjoy your prodactivity. These are very nice journal pages. You've your own style and I likeit.
Happy Weekend my fried 😃
Erika, your art journaling is serving a real purpose as you go through this scary time. It's beautiful and meaningful and gives your hands something useful to do along with the sewing and baking. I will pray that the heart surgery goes well and the transplant can happen in the near future. You also are in my thoughts and prayers, Erika.
Love the whimsy of your beach page. Good luck to you and your husband and keep up the journaling! Happy PPF
I don't journal at all, but if I did the art journal concept is what appeals most to me. The way you are able to fill out the bare text is impressive.
Enjoyed your pages this week Erika!
Erika, I enjoyed this artful glimpse into your life! I truly hope Dave will be able to have his surgery soon and that he will be restored to health. My prayers are with you. --Terri
gosh what fun pages!!!
Thank you for coming by my blog!
All the best on Daves surgery! Great pages to get all the hard things out. Wishing you well.. glad you have artwork to fall back on! Thanks for sharing, sending love and light your way!
Hugs Giggles
Your pages are great. A true way to get your thoughts and feelings out. Sending healing and prayers your way.
That's a lot to deal with. No wonder you have the blues. Getting it all out on paper helps. *hugs*
Art journals are great for experimenting and not needing to like everything we do, arent' they? Thank you for sharing the messiness of life. I hope all goes well with the surgery next week.
Your pages are lovely, Erika. Good luck with your husband's surgery and have a good week.
Your pages are great! It's good to experiment, and to not expect every page or piece to work out as we imagined. It's the documenting of our lives that make these journals interesting and precious, and less how well or pretty the page turned out, although of course it's always nice if it turns out the way we want it :). I'm ready for my jumpers too! Hope everything goes well with the surgery!
That scene with the beach umbrellas makes me sigh. How I love those colors and that "image" of umbrellas and warmth. It's starting to feel like fall here -- lots of rain and cooler temps. No real color yet, unfortunately, but it will come, just late. I long for those summer days!

Saturday Morning, early, I will be waking up
to take a train to the Princeton area
to meet up with a local church friend
and sister in Christ to go to
Holy Protection Monastery for that day,
evening and Sunday morning, leaving in the early afternoon.
We've been planning on this trip since before Christmas
and I've long wanted to go but had no way to get there.
So I treasure what feels like a once-in-a-lifetime or at
least once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to go there.
Asking your prayers.
3 comments:
I'm SO happy and excited that you're going! I only wish we could be there at the same time. We're planning a trip up after Pascha. <3
Wishing you a safe and blessed pilgrimage :-)
have fun with your friend and be safe :)

7 Reasons You Should Travel While You’re Young. Here are seven ways traveling changed me forever.
1. Traveling changes the way you relate to the world.
I grew up in a tiny rural town. If I hadn’t had the opportunity to travel when I was younger, I would have a difficult time envisioning much else outside my comfortable country bubble. When you travel to other countries and see the amazing beauty of sunsets over seas, eagles riding mountain currents, monkeys swinging through rain forests, grizzlies catching salmon in the rapids, majestic waterfalls spilling off vertical drops, and volcanoes smoking under their fiery breath, you realize the world is full of more beauty that you are capable of seeing in a lifetime. But, you still have the intense passion to try.
If you don’t see this when you are younger, you have less desire to venture out when you are older and have job and family constraints in play. If I didn’t know what I was missing, I would have less of a desire to put the effort into taking the time to travel. You also develop a deeper sense of obligation to save our planet’s beauty for the coming generations. After all, you’ve seen it firsthand, and it’s worth saving!
2. Traveling changes the way you relate to others.
Unfortunately, the area I grew up in didn’t have much diversity. Everyone looked and acted basically the same. When I traveled, I learned about other cultures. I realized that my life could be enriched by developing friendships with people who didn’t look or act like me. Far from my hometown, I developed friendships with people who were nothing like me, but were exactly what I needed. This taught me to embrace, not fear, experiences and relationships that were outside my comfort zone. It also taught me the importance of communication skills. Let’s just say I paid a lot better attention during college Spanish class after visiting Mexico, and perked up in French class after my time in France and Africa.
3. Traveling humbles you enough to realize it’s not all about you.
The older I become, the more I realize I actually know very little about life. It seems the confidence of knowing it all is usually graced upon the young. However, the sooner that bubble bursts, the better; at least in my case. Traveling sometimes puts you in tough situations. You see that the world is so much bigger than your perspective on it. You soon realize the world doesn’t revolve around you. You learn that you really weren’t the big fish in the ocean, but just a tiny minnow in a pothole.
Now, that doesn’t mean you aren’t still important, but it does change your perspective to be more open to learning from other people and situations vs lecturing and bestowing your vast wisdom to those lucky enough to be in earshot. Traveling teaches you to let go of the perceived concept of control. You learn that it’s a big enough challenge to just control yourself, and learn to give up trying to do so for the rest of the planet.
4. Traveling empowers you to take on new challenges.
Just as traveling is humbling, it is also empowering. You realize you can do things you never thought possible. For example, I have lived for the past two years in Grenada, West Indies. I have always enjoyed driving on the right side of nicely paved and open roads of the U.S. Here, I was thrown into driving on the left side of the road on twisty mountain passes down broken roads that aren’t much bigger than a one-lane driveway, yet they expect two-way traffic to freely meet around the blind corners. Add to the lovely mix the fact that there are drop-offs with no guard rail along most of the drive, and far below the sheer free fall you see the rooftops of homes.
So, if I lose control, I not only kill myself, but I land on a house and kill a nice family having dinner. No pressure! Yet, after more than a few white-knuckled moments, I can now drive comfortably with the locals and don’t bat an eye at the drop offs, the livestock in the road, the pot holes, or the fact that there is no way I should have made it through that tight squeeze with that oncoming car without losing a mirror. Conquering this fear helped me learn that I could adapt to more than I felt I was capable of conquering. I think that’s a good thing to learn at any age, but you can apply it longer throughout your lifetime if you start early.
5. Traveling gives you empathy for global suffering.
When you travel, you learn how much you truly have that you take for granted. Many people live in poverty that is unfathomable to those who have never walked their streets and heard their stories. Watching the wars and famines on the news takes on a whole new meaning when you have a personal connection with the people there. You lose the callousness and egotistic attitude that can sometimes develop when you can’t relate to that region of the world. And, it compels you to help others and give back.
6. Traveling pushes your educational horizons.
Sadly, I never liked history in school. Just reading the stories in books seemed so boring to me. However, when I visited the palace of Versailles in France, marveled at the architecture of basilicas in Africa, climbed the ruins of castles in Ireland, visited the White House, and walked the halls of the Louvre, I couldn’t help but get a new appreciation for history. Traveling makes history come alive. The stories are no longer pictures in a book, but tangible memories you remember much longer than anything you could study in school.
7. We are never guaranteed old age, so enjoy life’s experiences now!
I think a lot of young people put off traveling because they want to be responsible, work hard, get married, have kids, and build up a life. However, I think it’s a mistake to put off traveling in exchange for the belief that you can do it when you retire and have more time. While I certainly plan to continue to travel after I retire, I also realize I am not guaranteed old age. If something happens and I don’t live to see my forties, fifties, or sixties, I will have no regrets. I have experienced the world to the best of my ability by taking every opportunity presented to me to see all of this gorgeous planet that I can. Traveling has made me the person that I am, and I’m so grateful that I have plenty of years left with this version of me to continue the adventure.

Adel (knee) scored 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) including the game-winning basket in Thursday's 116-114 victory. He also contributed 10 rebounds.
Forget the double-double, Adel's game-clinching double-clutch basket was a site to behold and certainly one of the two-way player's best moments with Canton to date. Expect Adel to continue starting at power forward so long as he's in the G League.
Adel drew his first career start in Tuesday's 103-96 loss to the Celtics, producing two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes.
Adel hadn't made much of an impact (2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per game) while entering the Cleveland rotation in the previous seven games, so it's perhaps not too surprising that he turned in a lackluster line despite receiving a larger role. Cleveland could get Kevin Love (toe) and Cedi Osman (ankle) back for Friday's game in Washington and new acquisitions Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin might also make their team debuts, making Adel a prime candidate to lose minutes or fall out of the rotation entirely.
Adel will draw his first career start in Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.
Adel, an undrafted rookie, will benefit from a plethora of injuries on the Cavaliers' roster and get the spot-start. He has played sparingly in his seven games with the team, so he figures to see a heavier workload than normal as a starter.

Return to One Man's Island Paintings and Sketches from the Isle of May by Keith Brockie
Keith Brockie's 'One Man's Island: Paintings and Sketches from the Isle of May' (1984), immediately became one of the bestselling Scottish natural history books of all time. The combination of breathtaking wildlife images with notes and background information, captured unforgettably the beauty of nature, and in particular that of the Isle of May, a little gem of an island in the Firth of Forth. Since then Brockie has constantly returned to the Isle of May. From April through to October of 2010 he stayed on the island, working intensively to produce an entirely new set of drawings and paintings. With his eye for colour and characteristic attention to detail he has produced a huge number of artworks, mixing depictions of the majestic peregrine and white-tailed eagle with sketches of fluffy eider ducklings and kittiwake chicks. All the natural history of the island is represented, from its delicate maritime flowers to fish, crabs and lobsters.
Reviews'A must-have' - Scottish Field 'Brockie is painting better than ever, with wonderful animation in his puffins and peregrines, and an enormous crusted, pregnant lobster that seems to be crawling off the page' - The Times 'An artist at the peak of his skills' - Scottish Islands Explorer 'Beautifully executed paintings are backed up by well-written detailed information' - Scottish Home and Country 'Outstanding' - Scottish Birds'

At Hooks & Lattice, we manufacture the overwhelming majority of the items we sell. As a result, custom window boxes are a snap! Create a unique custom flower box and get the perfect fit for your home.
Standard window box sizes include 24", 30", 36", 42", 48", 54", 60" and 72" long. Custom size window boxes can be built in shorter lengths, in-between measurements, and oversized dimensions. We have manufactured petite 18" window boxes and huge 108" window boxes, so you can count on our expertise. Almost all of our window box styles are available in custom sizes. Materials include wood, wrought iron, aluminum, composite cellular PVC, real copper, and galvanized metal.
For designers and creative home owners, we can also customize the look of the window box or create a completely new style. Rely on us to bring your vision to life. The sky's the limit!
To get started on a custom order, call800-896-09787am - 5pm PST, M-F
Custom composite PVC window boxes are handmade by our dedicated craftsmen using the same saws and nail guns as they use when working with our wood window boxes or planters. This hand craftsmanship ensures the look and feel of a traditional flower box but without the risk of rotting, cracking warping or chipping. No-rot window boxes ensure no degradation in either the appearance of the box or the structural integrity. The most common feature customized in a window box is the length. Custom length window boxes are affordable and are generally priced at or near the next larger size's retail price. Maximum length: 96".
Custom wood window boxes can be made from our stain-grade cedar we source from deep in South America. This near furniture-quality wood can be stained but most homeowners choose to leave it treated with only a light or clear lacquer. Either our Framed Cottage Cedar window box or our Raised Panel Cedar Wood window box comes in custom lengths. Your custom window box length can be specified for either the cavity of the box or including the trim. Custom wood flower boxes and custom wood planters are a true designer's choice to tie the entire front or back patio of a home together. Maximum length: 108".
Because we have our own 100 percent dedicated metal fabrication shop and metal forgers, Hooks & Lattice offers custom iron window boxes in either a square cage style or a tapered iron window box design. Custom window box liners can also be made to accommodate the cage of your choice, in composite PVC, galvanized metal, and real copper. We have over 14 standard styles of iron and metal window box styles to choose from - all of which can be built to your custom dimensions. If you have a unique design in mind, we can bring it to life in iron. Maximum length: 108".
Our metal fabricators work with aluminum, too! Custom aluminum window boxes are lightweight even at very large sizes, and the molded look of cast aluminum can't be matched in any other material. In some styles, we have our own dedicated sand casts we use to create the intricate and ornamental flower box styles. In others we buy pre-cast panels. But in either case, custom aluminum window boxes can be made to your specific dimensions. We feature several beautiful styles to choose from, each with a unique and ornate design. Maximum length: 108".
Hayrack window boxes can be fabricated with any combination of length, width and height but it is important to remember that, like with the Decora Series, the measurements of the liners cannot change. Some clients who extend the length of the box purchase two coco liners, cut them in the middle, and then overlap them. We also sell coco coir material by the foot. Maximum length: 108".

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Nearly 175 years ago, the first convention for women’s rights was held in Seneca Falls and this weekend, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, a team of skydivers will descend onto the place where the movement all began.
Skydiving is like second nature for Amy Chmelecki and Melanie Curtis, who have both logged over 10,000 jumps during their careers, but Saturday’s skydive into Seneca Falls won’t be like any other.
“We are doing a demonstration jump into the birthplace of the women’s rights movement, Seneca Falls, New York,” Melanie Curtis, a member of the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team, said.
Amy Chmelecki, another member of the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team, said, “The Highlight team’s main mission for 2020 is to commemorate the 19th amendment. So, this is actually our first stop this season, for this mission, and Seneca Falls is such a big deal, it’s such a big part of the history of women’s suffrage because of the Seneca Falls Convention. It’s definitely a massive honor for us to be able to do this jump.”
The jump on Saturday, July 18 will feature four skydivers who will be carrying streamers in the colors that represent the Women’s Suffrage movement — purple, white and goldish-yellow — along with a canopy that says “Vote.”
To see how the jump went, click on the video below.
The team is commemorating the 19th amendment, encouraging people to vote and inspiring women all along the way.
“We hope that when young girls see us doing what we do that they believe that they can do it too, because they can, and skydiving is so much fun, and if it’s something that you’re attracted to and it’s something you’d like to do, go for it,” Chmelecki said. “Not only skydiving, but the world is often bigger than what you originally think it is. So, whatever that looks like to you, wherever your heart pulls you, we encourage you to go for it.”
The 5,500-foot jump would bring a lot of nerves to most people, but for the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team, it’s more excitement, as the weather calls for sunny skies on Saturday.
“I am so excited,” Curtis said. “I think I would be a little more nervous if there were questionable weather forecasts, but it’s 91 degrees and it’s complete sunny skies. So, when that element is out of the question mark zone, that piece that we can’t control is handled, and so then it’s just about going through our process and executing on the process, and working together as a team.”
Highlight Pro Skydiving will make three more jumps to commemorate the 19th amendment in the month of August, including one in Tennessee on the day they ratified the 19th amendment in 1920, which allowed the amendment to become a law.
“So, we have about 11 people total, and then there’s groups of three to five going to each jump. Except for our jump in Nashville, it’s going to be the whole team,” Chmelecki said.
The all-female skydiving team will be celebrating the history of the Women’s Suffrage movement on Saturday, as they try to inspire a new generation of women leaders.
Curtis said, “Talking about representation, in skydiving, only 13% of skydivers are women. So, part of our effort is to show what’s possible, but not just in skydiving, but also outside of skydiving. So, the idea, like Amy said, inspiring women and girls to live a bold, brave life of their own design.”
Because of COVID-19, you will only be able to watch the skydive through a live stream on the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team’s Facebook Page. The jump is scheduled for 11 a.m. and the live stream starts at 10:50 a.m.
Below is the schedule for the rest of Highlight Pro Skydiving Team’s mission:
- Nashville, Tennessee: Final state to ratify the 19th Amendment, Aug. 18
- Valley Forge, Pennsylvania: Spot of the historic “Women of Valley Forge,” Aug. 25
- New York City: For the unveiling of the first Women’s Suffrage Monument, Aug. 26

Thanks to frequent updates and continuous support, C# remains one of the most popular modern development languages. The latest major version, released in March of 2017 and coinciding with the release of Visual Studio 2017, brings with it a number of new features, which we’ve been covering in our ongoing series, What’s New in C# 7.0?. Thus far we’ve investigated a number of topics:
- In Part 1 we thoroughly explored
tuple types,
tuple literals, and
out variables.
- In Part 2 we looked at
pattern matchingand
local functions.
For part 3 today we’ll examine the
digit separator,
binary literals,
reference returns and
local reference variables, so let’s get to it!
Digit Separator
A small but handy little feature introduced in C# 7.0 is the
digit separator character, which takes the form of a single underscore (
_). This separator can be used within any numeric literal as a means of improving legibility. The existence of a
digit separator in a numeric literal does not change the value in anyway. Any given number is always the same to the common language runtime, regardless of whether it uses separators or not.
This feature can be particularly useful when creating extremely lengthy numeric literal values. For example, it canact as a thousands-place separator:
Obviously, the first value is quite difficult to read at a glance, whereas it’s relatively easy to count the thousands places in the second number and deduce it’s somewhere around
123 quadrillion. While scientific notation can often be used for large numbers, in situations where exact precision is necessary (like above), the
digit separator comes in handy.
Binary Literals
C# 7.0 also provides the ability to create
binary literal values (
base 2 numbers, effectively). This adds onto the other numeric literal capabilities, such as
hexadecimal literals, so you can write out exactly the value you mean to, in whatever format best suits your needs. Moreover, we can also use the new
digit separator within
hexadecimal and
binary literals.
Here we see the standard and digit-separated versions, using all three numeric literal forms:
The output shows all our numbers are equivalent, as expected:
Note: We’re using the
Utility.Logging class in these examples, which can be found below:
Returning References and Local Reference Variables
In the past, using references in C# merely consisted of passing an argument by reference. The
ref keyword would precede the parameter type in the method definition. To coincide with the parameter
ref keyword,
ref would also come before the argument value being passed to said method. For example, here the
SetByReference(ref int, int) method changes the value at the
reference location to
value, so we can change the index
2 array element from
-42 to
24601:
Now, in C# 7.0 the
ref keyword can be used in a couple more useful situations: Returning a reference value from a method, and creating a local variable to store a reference value. To illustrate these new features we have a simple
Library class, the full code of which can be found below, then we’ll explain what’s going on in more detail to follow:
Our goal is to retrieve a reference from a
Book
Array collection based on a searched book
Title property value. To accomplish this we have the
GetReferenceByTitle(string, Book[]) method:
This method just loops through the
books array, by index, until it finds a matching
Title, at which point it returns the reference to that matching
Book element using the
ref keyword.
To illustrate how this might differ from the “usual” method of returning by-value, we have the
GetValueByTitle(string, Book[]) method:
Since
Book[] is an
IEnumerable collection we can use LINQ, so with just a single little line of code we can search and return our matching
Book element value.
To illustrate how the
ref return value works we start by creating our
Book array collection, then specify the
Book
Title value we want to search for. In this case, we’re going to be looking in our collection for
"Moby Dick". We also call
Array.FindIndex(T[], Predicate<T>) and output the actual index value that our searched
Book was found at, which we’ll use at the end of the example:
The output of this initial setup code appears below:
We’ve confirmed that the collection contains four
Books, and that
"Moby Dick" is at index
1, so now let’s make use of new reference return value functionality. To do so, we preface the call to
GetReferenceByTitle(string, Book[]) with the
ref keyword, which indicates we expect a reference to be returned. We also want to assign that returned reference value to a local variable, which is accomplished by preceding our
var keyword with the
ref keyword during assignment. Thus, here the local variable named
reference contains the reference value that is returned by
GetReferenceByTitle(string, Book[]):
We’ve also made a call to
GetValueByTitle(string, Book[]) with the same arguments passed, so we can output and compare the results of both types of returns (reference vs value):
Excellent! So far everything is working as expected, so now we can use our local reference variable (
reference) to change the value that said reference refers to. In this case, we’ll create a new
Book instance for
"Game of Thrones" (the new season is awesome so far, by the way). Just to confirm we’re accessing the original array collection at the same location that
"Moby Dick" was originally found at, we’re outputting the value at the
index location, which we saved earlier:
As intended, the output confirms that reassigning the
reference variable successfully updated the underlying element value within our original
books collection:
Stay tuned for future parts in this series where we’ll continue exploring the new features introduced in C# 7.0! And don’t forget, the Sharpbrake library provides robust exception tracking capabilities for all of your C# and .NET applications.
Sharpbrake provides real-time error monitoring and automatic exception reporting across your entire project, so you and your team are immediately alerted to even the smallest hiccup, and can appropriately respond before major problems arise. With a robust API and tight integration with the powerful

People go to emergency rooms (ER) to seek relief from their pain, trusting doctors will diagnose their medical conditions correctly and provide timely treatment. Unfortunately, some doctors fail to recognize common symptoms or misdiagnose health conditions. Sometimes when an injury or ailment is overlooked or not diagnosed correctly, it can mean the difference between life and death. This is sadly the case when a brain aneurysm is misdiagnosed due to ER negligence.
When a brain aneurysm is misdiagnosed and not treated, it can be a life-threatening condition because the aneurysm can rupture and cause brain damage or death. A brain aneurysm is caused by a weak spot in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. Not all brain aneurysms cause symptoms, but when people do experience symptoms of a brain aneurysm, most of the time the symptoms come on suddenly and can include:
- Intense, sudden headache
- Vision changes such as blurred vision
- Neck pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fainting
- Sensitivity to light
- Seizures
- Speech troubles
- Facial drooping or paralysis on one side of the face
When emergency room nurses or doctors find out a patient is experiencing some of these symptoms, they should quickly run tests in order to diagnose a brain aneurysm. Some diagnostic tests can include a brain scan, lumbar puncture, a computed tomography (CT) angiogram scan, and a cerebral angiogram.
With these diagnostic tools and technology, one would assume that a brain aneurysm would never be overlooked or misdiagnosed. But sadly this isn’t the case since many people have suffered brain damage or death due to untreated brain aneurysms caused by the following types of medical negligence:
- Misdiagnosis error. Some signs of a brain aneurysm can be similar to a migraine, so it is possible that a doctor may disregard the seriousness of the headache and prescribe pain pills to a patient who complains of an intense headache.
- Testing errors. It is possible that a radiologist may make a mistake, the equipment malfunctions, or a doctor or other medical professional reads the scan or test incorrectly, resulting in an incorrect diagnosis.
If you believe a medical professional was responsible for misdiagnosing or overlooking the symptoms of a brain aneurysm and you or a loved one suffered the serious effects of such medical negligence, you may have a medical malpractice claim. To learn more about the laws surrounding medical malpractice or to get some of your questions answered by an experienced lawyer, please call our office today or Contact Us online.

The spring months of May and June offer perfect conditions to ski the high peaks of the Alps. Join me each spring in May and June, as we climb and descend many of the fine Alpine Peaks around the Swiss cantons of Valais and Bern and Chamonix, France. Emphasis is on the quality of the descent, choosing north faces for powder, and southern aspects for spring snow. Skiers should be able to climb 1000 meters in a day, and be comfortable with steep skiing. Previous technical skills are not necessarily required, though comfort in learning new skills on steep terrain will be appreciated. If you have never climbed before, you will learn about crampon use and belay techniques. If you have these skills already, we will push our trips to more technical and remote faces.
The cost is SFr.195.00 for some of the easier descents with a group of 3. Some of the equipment will be supplied, and some of it can be rented from one of the many sport shops in town. The Couloir Barbey on the East face of the Aiguille d’Argentiere and the Marinelli Couloir on the Monte Rosa, and the north faces of the Ober Gabelhorn and Lenzspitze are examples of some of the steeper descents. Send me a note or call if you are interested in joining the fun!

Christ
Covenant Reformed (PCA)
We have quite a lot going on here within these few
verses. Calvin Keener both observe that the Pharisees or
their spies are keeping a close eye upon Jesus and His
disciples. Evidentially, these agents even attempt to
provoke a dispute between the followers of John the Baptist
and those of Jesus by drawing comparative observations
between the two groups.
Certainly we know from Scripture that John the Baptist
discovered who Jesus was and encouraged the people of his
ministry to follow after the Christ. And yet, we read in
history that for almost three hundred years, some of the
Baptist's followers went their own way and considered the
Baptist as their Messiah. We had thought that the matter
ended in that ancient time, however, during Operation Desert
Storm some CNN reporters stumbled on a small family group
that claimed to be the last remnants of the Baptist's
followers in Iraq! How firmly people remain entrenched in
their fondest fantasies of false religion. Yet, as we
consider our text today, I say this only to help us
understand the intransigence of the Pharisees in their own
religious fantasy world.
At issue in these first few verses are the ordinary
fasting habits of the Jewish religious groups. While the Law
only required fasting for the Day of Atonement, many many
more "holidays" and occasions had been created and
established by the religious leadership in the Old Covenant
Church. Why doesn't Jesus and His disciples follow everyone
else in these matters is the question being raised. Such a
small thing to take exception too! Calvin observes
that: "Satan has a wonderful
dexterity, no doubt, in laying those snares; and it is an
easy matter to distress us about a trifle.".
Oh the utter humanity here described that is all too
common in every age and place. I am reminded of the
differences in the administration of communion that have
become all to evident within our own Presbytery in the last
year and a half. It is sad indeed that some members of that
body cannot take communion because several brethren on the
cutting edge of institutional growth seem to be in a hurry
to reintroduce Romish practices. Unfortunately, those of us
who are put off by that reintroduction are being very
careful in our words and reactions to avoid any label of
being Pharisaic. However, profound differences in worship
and communion are evolving whether we like them or not.
Sadly, as the innovators gleefully point out, the
practices they are challenging are not part of those
chapters which are constitutionally binding. Herein lies the
difficulty, like the traditions of the elders in the time of
Christ, we have to be very cautious in our practical
expectations of brethren within the faith. A time of studied
reflection is well in order before complaints or
admonishment are considered.
Well could the Church leaders of Jesus time considered
their calling in this trivial matter of fasting. And to
their question, one of my commentators describes the two
levels on which Jesus reacts to their pettiness. First and
foremost He raises the issue of the time at hand. Here He
is, the long promised Messiah - visibly and physically
present within the Old Covenant community. The Bridegroom
has come to visit His Bride - the Church. Shouldn't the
Church react in the same way described in the Song of
Solomon - where that relationship is explored centuries
before? Here is the Lord of Life, the long expected Son of
Man. How should the church react in His presence? Is gloom
and doom the appropriate response?
"Fasting is, (as Commentator
Alan Cole reminds us) in the Bible,
either a sign of disaster or of voluntary abasement of the
spirit." Just as Jesus implies
in verse twenty "The sorrow
which finds expression in fasting will come soon enough ...,
when the fellowship is broken."
Instead, Jesus encourages celebration of His visible
presence and there are reports enough, as well as criticism
that meals there were in plenty among those whose hearts
were drawn to the long expected Messiah. Jesus even
increases the joyous celebration at the wedding where He
miraculously provides the finest of new wine for that feast.
And yet, as Dr Cole suggests, there is something more
profound going on in this discourse that will not be
appreciated or understood until the Apostles are forced out
of the Old Covenant Temple. The New Administration of Christ
cannot be held within the Old Covenant Church.
"A new spirit must find new forms of
expression; that is the lesson of the parable," which
is proven in the book of Acts where Christianity and Judaism
finally go their separate ways.
One more thought before we continue. Dr Cole notes that
not only the Judaizers within the early church but also the
Jewish Christian congregations known to Eusebius died out in
later centuries. That comment reminded me how uncomfortable
I have always been when I have read or heard of Messianic
Jewish Churches - where ethnicity is played up so heavily.
And in case you think me being unkind, I must also consider
the Scot's rites of administering communion which have long
been the way we always did communion in many Presbyterian
congregations. The Presbyterian Churches here in America
have in the last century grown far beyond the ethnic
boundaries that once framed and preserved these
institutions!
Now don't get me wrong, when we celebrate the Lord's
Supper at the end of the month I'm not going to surprise you
all and dunk the bread in a vat of grape juice for
communion. I still have a lot of reservations whether or no
that practice can even be considered communion. And I do not
intend to share communion with those whose conscious would
return them to that ritual of Roman communion practice from
whence we broke four hundred and some years ago. After all
there was within the Reformation a movement not unlike that
instituted by Christ in His relationship with an
administratively heavy hand of religious activity that
accomplished nothing and would turn men's hearts away from
God Almighty to self fulfillment and aggredization.
Since, I have alluded so often this morning to these
communion differences within our beloved Presbyterian Church
in America, I ought to state my firm conviction that the
innovations I have seen in the last two years are more
likely a means to the end of speeding up communion where
large numbers of people are assembled. McCommunion I would
appropriately describe it - to be in tune with all the
attributes that increase institutional growth.
Whether or not these methods and means prove to be the
new wine or the old wineskin must remain for the Lord to
prove as He continues to build up and increase His own
Church. And in His analogy here of Bridegroom, and His
challenge of the Old Covenant Community, He is certainly
laying claim to what is His own. This Lordship is proven
even more in the following verses, where once again Jesus
and the Pharisees lock their horns over the appropriate
understanding of the Lord's Sabbath.
Time was here in America, when small towns and the
farming communities all appreciated the seventh day rest. It
was as natural a cycle as any in nature. And a cycle that
helped upset the worst aspects of the French Revolution when
the atheistic leaders imposed a ten day cycle upon great and
small alike. Nothing that they had done created such a stir
as that attempt to steal that which was laid down by the
Creator seven to ten thousand years ago.
Now, we well understand that the habits of a lifetime die
hard, when change is in the air. So we may presume that the
disciples as defended by Christ in these last few verses of
chapter two have not taken it upon themselves to harvest a
field of grain. In fact it seems that they are very
scrupulous to not take even a whole stalk of wheat, but are
content to take a seed here and another there to chew on.
Since Jesus was often in the habit of staying overnight in
remote places, are they more than a Sabbath Day's journey
from the nearest town and thus find it necessary to stave
off pangs of hunger with such minimal feed? I am only
asking, I am not so bold as my commentators to believe that
they must have been within walking distance of food so that
their accusers may obey their own precepts of the law.
Wherever they were located, these gleanings are at the
very least a minimal violation of rural property or sacred
ceremonial laws. Jesus certainly defends the actions of His
men by applying an Old Covenant text to show that hunger may
indeed be relieved without violation of sacred standards.
The text He refers to has to do with the ritual Shrowbread
in the Tabernacle that was always placed before the Lord.
When David's men were in need the son of the priest freely
consented to feed the outlaws who were being hunted by Saul.
Then, most amazingly, the Lord of Life lays claim to the
Sabbath. It is His to administer and to cherish from the
first week of Creation.
Such petty attacks, you would think that the Old Covenant
Administrators could have risen above all the insignificant
charges that they ever laid against the Lord's Anointed!
Yet, as we see in our last section this morning, they would
charge Him even when He was well within the Law they
protested too much!
Again we read, there He was, on a Sabbath, in the
synagogue. Once more they would accuse Him if they could.
Knowing of course what they were thinking, Jesus calls the
crippled man forward. Then He asks the Pharisees
"Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do
good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" Of
course everyone knew the answer to that. Even pious old
Stonewall Jackson would fight on a Sabbath if necessary. The
Law of God was fluid enough to allow all that Jesus asks
them. Yet, they remain silent. Then Jesus commands the man
to "Stretch out your hand."
And the man was instantly healed.
Whether or not these three events happened near in time
or not is not important. What is important is the state of
the hearts of those who would oppose Christ. More than
anything else, I would guess that they were flabbergasted at
the fact that none of their pet methods of proving religion
would be acknowledged by Him! Here they were, a group of
religious leaders who had built up and over the laws of God
a petty set of man made rituals which were more important in
their mind than anything designed by the Creator. Ever and
anew have corrupt leaders within the Churches of Christ
proved that we are all heirs to Adam's sinful and corrupt
nature.
Just this week I was reminded of my own descent from
Adam. The Drudge Report on the web linked to an article
about one of the great enemies of my military years. Red
Jane, we called her then in the sixties. She who supported
our enemies and gave them comfort and encouragement during
the conflict in Viet Nam. Well, if the reports are true, she
and husband have separated because he cannot abide the
spiritual rebirth she has supposedly experienced. Now I do
not mean to be unkind in using supposition here, Matt Drudge
is not a Gospel writer, but neither is he a gossip
columnist.
Time will tell as the truth of this story is explored. I
wrestled with this report for a day or so until I realized
ever and anew, that the God of heaven may decide these
things. Both we and all of creation belong to Him and He may
save whomever He will. So be it, and even if He does the
unexpected - may we all within Christ's Church accept the
wondrous miracles of salvation which He is well able to
accomplish. I will not be so stubborn and foolish as the
Pharisees reported by Mark. Even for staying within their
precious law, the leaders of Jerusalem would not have Christ
under any circumstances.
They would, even as we read here, conspire with the
Herodians to work out His ultimate destruction on a cross!
Even at that cross, where there were two other criminals
crucified with him, on accosted him, but the other admitted
that he died for just reasons, but Jesus did not, He was
without sin and the whole crucifixion was a miscarriage of
justice. Even the Roman Procreator washed his hands of the
whole mess, and Josephus, a Jewish historian tells us that
the Pharisaic crowd were the most wicked and evil men to
ever own power of the religion of the Old Covenant
Community.
Let us consider carefully our own calling and that
spiritual calling of our Lord and Savior who may chose
whomever He would, even people that we might wonder publicly
about! At bottom, as we conclude, we must learn from this
passage that Christ is not contained by our churches,
neither are we the final arbitrator of His laws, means or
methods of administering His Church. We as the bride of
Christ are called to wait patiently for His final coming and
to rejoice in Him as we worship and adore Him on the Day
which is His own, even as are we and all of creation. May we
rejoice, give thanks and sing His praises today and ever
more.02c

It’s as if I’m buckled into the passenger seat next to him. I can see the rain coming from every direction, crashing into the road and windshield. I gasp with him as the wheels beneath us seem suddenly weightless. I can hear the screeching tires, smell the burning brakes, watch the red lights blur and swirl into white. I feel the panic in my chest as we spin across a four-lane freeway during rush hour in Orange County.
But I wasn’t there. Crouched on the top stair, head leaning on the banister, I listened in as my father told the treacherous tale in our white and blue tiled kitchen. His Ford Ranger finished it’s sporadic spiral across the 5 South and promptly stalled facing four lanes of oncoming traffic. I wasn’t there, but I was there, every single morning when my father left for work.
When I heard the garage door open, I felt the panic, saw the rain, and ran like hell to make sure I got one more glimpse of my dad, because what if it was my last? He never left without saying goodbye. We’d blow each other a kiss and he’d grab mine out of the air, squeeze it tight, and stuff it in his shirt pocket, saving a little piece of love for later.
Today my own kids are a constant mystery. Why are you scared to pick out socks at two in the afternoon by yourself? Why do you need me to watch you go to the bathroom when you’ve been potty trained for two point five years? I know why. Because life doesn’t make sense. It’s messy and it’s scary, even more so when you’re only three feet tall.
I spend a lot of time feeling overwhelmed by the longterm effects of my parenting missteps. I worry about my angry words, my lack of patience, and those days when I just want to be left alone. But when I think back on my own childhood, I don’t remember the angry words so much. I remember being constantly and genuinely cherished by my parents. My dad probably had no idea how much I needed all that saved up love back then but I hope he knows today what a gift it continues to be.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 36947 (March 8, 1996), 61 FR 10606 (March 14, 1996) (SR-Amex-95-43). Additional WEBS series were approved for listing and trading in 2000, including iShares MSCI Brazil, iShares MSCI Taiwan, iShares MSCI South Africa and iShares MSCI South Korea. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 42748 (May 2, 2000), 65 FR 30155 (May 10, 2000) (SR-Amex-98-49). iShares MSCI EAFE and iShares S&P Europe 350, issued by iShares Trust, were approved for Amex listing and trading in, respectively, in 2001. See Securities Exchange Release No. 44700 (August 14, 2001), 66 FR 43927 (August 21, 2001) (SR-Amex-2001-34); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 42786 (May 15, 2000), 65 FR 33586 (May 24, 2000) (SR-Amex-99-49) (collectively, ``Listing Approval Orders''). \5\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50142 (August 3, 2004), 69 FR 48539 (August 10, 2004) (SR-NYSE-2004-27) (approving trading of the Shares pursuant to UTP). \6\ Much of the information in this filing was taken from the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of iShares, Inc. dated January 1, 2007, the Prospectus of iShares S&P Europe 350, dated August 1, 2006, the Prospectus of iShares Trust MSCI EAFE, dated December 1, 2006, and the Web sites of Amex (http://), the NYSE (), and iShares (http://). Fund information relating to net asset value (``NAV''), returns, dividends, component stock holdings, and the like is updated on a daily basis on the Web sites. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Shares are issued by iShares, Inc., except for iShares MSCI EAFE and S&P Europe 350, which are issued by iShares Trust. iShares, Inc. and iShares Trust are open-ended management investment companies. Each Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the applicable [[Page 27872]] underlying index. The Funds utilize representative sampling to invest in a representative sample of securities in the applicable underlying index. Barclays Global Fund Advisors (``BGFA''), a subsidiary of Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (``BGI''), is the investment advisor for each Fund. BGI is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC of the United Kingdom. BGFA and its affiliates are not affiliated with the index providers (MSCI and Standard & Poor's). Investors Bank and Trust Company serves as administrator, custodian, and transfer agent for the Funds, and SEI Investments Distribution Co. is distributor for the Funds. The distributor is not affiliated with BGFA. b. MSCI and S&P Indexes The MSCI Indexes are calculated by MSCI for each trading day in the applicable foreign exchange markets based on official closing prices in such exchange markets. For each trading day, MSCI publicly disseminates the MSCI Index values for the previous day's close. The S&P Europe 350 Index is calculated by Standard & Poor's (``S&P''), and is publicly disseminated by S&P for the previous day's close. The indexes are reported periodically in major financial publications, and the intra- day values of the Indexes, disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day, are available through vendors of financial information as further described in the Listing Approval Orders. c. Tracking Error The Funds have chosen to pursue a representative sampling strategy that, by its very nature, entails some risk of tracking error. (It should also be noted that Fund expenses, the timing of cash flows, and other factors all contribute to tracking error.) The Web site for the Funds,, contains detailed information on the performance and tracking error for each Fund. d. Availability of Information Regarding Funds The Web site for the Funds () contains the prior business day's NAV and the reported closing price, and a calculation of the premium or discount of such price against NAV; and data in chart format displaying the frequency distribution of discounts and premiums of the daily closing price against the NAV. The intra-day values of the indexes will be disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day by organizations authorized by the index providers and are available through major financial information vendors. The intraday indicative value (``IIV'') of each Fund will be disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day by the national securities exchange on which the Fund is listed or by other information providers or market data vendors. The IIV likely will not reflect the value of all securities included in the applicable indexes. In addition, the IIV will not necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current portfolio of securities held by the Funds at a particular moment. The IIV disseminated throughout the trading day should not be viewed as a real-time update of the NAV of the Funds, which is calculated only once a day. It is expected, however, that during the trading day the IIV will closely approximate the value per share of the portfolio of securities for the Funds, except under unusual circumstances. For the iShares MSCI Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pacific ex- Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan Funds, there is no overlap in trading hours between the foreign and U.S. markets. Therefore, for each of these Funds, the IIV calculator utilizes closing prices (denominated in the applicable foreign currency) in the principal foreign market for securities in the applicable Fund's portfolio and converts the price to U.S. dollars. This IIV is updated every 15 seconds, during the trading hours of the national securities exchange on which the Fund is listed, to reflect changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the applicable foreign currency. The IIV also includes the estimated cash component for each Fund. For the iShares MSCI Brazil, EAFE, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, and United Kingdom Funds, and the S&P Europe 350 Fund, there is an overlap in trading hours between the foreign and U.S. markets. Therefore, the IIV calculator updates the applicable IIV every 15 seconds to reflect price changes in the applicable foreign market or markets and converts such prices into U.S. dollars based on the currency exchange rate. When a relevant foreign market is closed but the U.S. markets are open, the IIV is updated every 15 seconds to reflect changes in currency exchange rates after the foreign market closes. The IIV also includes the applicable cash component for each Fund. e. Information Circular In connection with the trading of the Shares, the Exchange will inform members and member organizations in an Information Circular of certain characteristics of certain Funds, as discussed below. The circular will discuss the special characteristics and risks of trading this type of security. Specifically, the circular, among other things, will discuss what the Funds are, how they are created and redeemed, the requirement that members and member firms deliver a prospectus or Product Description to investors purchasing Shares prior to or concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction, applicable Exchange rules, dissemination information, trading information, and the applicability of suitability rules.\7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ The Commission issued an order (``Order'') granting the Funds an exemption from Section 24(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. See, e.g., Investment Company Act Release No. 25623 (June 25, 2002). Any Product Description used in reliance on the Section 24(d) exemptive order will comply with all representations made and all conditions contained in the Application for the Order. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the circular will note Exchange responsibilities, including that before an Exchange member, member organization, or employee thereof recommends a transaction in the Shares, a determination must be made that the recommendation is in compliance with all applicable Exchange and federal rules and regulations. The circular will also discuss exemptive, no-action, and interpretive relief granted by the Commission from Section 11(d)(1) and certain rules under the Act, including Rule 10a-1, Rule 10b-10, Rule 14e-5, Rule 10b-17, Rule 11d1-2, Rules 15c1-5 and 15c1-6, and Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M under the Act. The NAV for the iShares MSCI Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan Index Funds will be calculated every day that the listing exchange is open for trading, normally as of 10 a.m. Central Time. This is in contrast to the other Funds, for which the NAV is normally calculated at 3 p.m. Central Time. f. Other Issues i. Surveillance Procedures The Exchange intends to utilize its existing surveillance procedures applicable to equity securities to monitor trading in the Shares. The Exchange represents that these procedures are adequate to monitor Exchange trading of the Shares. ii. Trading Hours The trading hours for the Shares on CBSX will be 8:15 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. Central Time (unless the value of a Fund is not being calculated and widely disseminated before 8:30 a.m., in which case trading in that Fund will begin at 8:30 a.m.; and unless the original listing [[Page 27873]] exchange closes trading of a Fund at 3 p.m., in which case trading in that Fund will end at 3 p.m.). iii. Trading Halts The Exchange proposes to modify its Rule 52.3 to provide that (i) From 8:15 to 8:30 Central Time, if a security described in Rules 54.1, 54.2, and 54.3 (an ``ETF'') (the Shares are among the securities covered by this provision) begins trading on CBSX and subsequently a temporary interruption occurs in the calculation or wide dissemination of the IIV or the value of the underlying index, as applicable, to such ETF, by a major market data vendor, CBSX may continue to trade the ETF for the remainder of the 8:15 to 8:30 session; and, (ii) during normal market hours, if a temporary interruption occurs in the calculation or wide dissemination of the applicable IIV or value of the underlying index by a major market data vendor and the listing market halts trading in the ETF, CBSX, upon notification by the listing market of such halt due to such temporary interruption, also shall immediately halt trading in the ETF on CBSX. 2. Statutory Basis CBOE believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange. Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \8\ \9\ because it deems each Share to be an equity security, thus rendering trading in each Fund subject to the Exchange's existing rules governing the trading of equity securities.\10\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78(f)(b)(5). \9\ 17 CFR 240.12f-5. \10\ See e-mail dated May 8, 2007 from Brian Jung, Law Clerk, CBOE, to Geoffrey Pemble, Special Counsel, Division of Market Regulation, Commission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------37 on the subject line. Paper Comments Send paper comments in triplicate to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090. All submissions should refer to File Number SR-CBOE-2007-37.-37 and should be submitted on or before June 7, 2007. IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of the Proposed Rule Change After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \11\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it has considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with Section 12(f) of the Act,\13\ which permits an exchange to trade, pursuant to UTP, a security that is listed and registered on another exchange.\14\ The Commission notes that it previously approved the listing and trading of each of the Shares on either Amex or the NYSE.\15\ The Commission also finds that the proposal is consistent with Rule 12f-5 under the Act,. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(f). . \15\ See supra notes 3-5. \16\ 17 CFR 240.12f-5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Commission further believes that the proposal is consistent with Section [[Page 27874]] 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act,\17\. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Furthermore, the Commission believes that the proposal is reasonably designed to preclude trading of the Shares when transparency is impaired. New.\18\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \18\ either Amex or the NYSE,\19\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2007-37), as modified by Amendment No. 1 thereto, be and it hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \19\ 19 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

I absolutely loved the end of this episode- it was such an epic, throw-your-hands-up-in-triumph moment (trust me, I actually did that), and it finished off the episode stunningly.
SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD
Rick is having some serious issues; he's hallucinating Lori and my heart bleeds for him! We don't even have Daryl to comfort him. One thing I love though (and I truly freaking love and appreciate it) is how Rick told Hershel that he was hallucinating and that he had a problem. Too often in TV shows- in fiction- the protagonist keeps these things to himself and then slowly withdraws into crazy town. We can't overcome your problem, if you don't tell anyone about it so thank you so much Rick for having the sense to tell Hershel- because now we can help you!! My respect for this show went up about 10 notches (and by 10, I mean 10 thousand).
The Governor is being funny- and totally not in a humorous way. I don't completely believe that he wants Andrea to lead... and damn him for lying about leaving her friends alone and then coming straight up to the prison to slaughter them. F you, mate.
Glenn hurt my heart today. He's been through so much and this rage is just consuming him! He took the role of leader like a champ but... he's not ready to lead, not in the right head space at all.
Carol and Axel had a bit of a bond in this episode which I was really starting to like (not as much as Caryl) but that nice possible friendship was severely diminished when he was shot through the head. It was a shame- I was really starting to like Axel- he made me chuckle. But now, he was reduced to being a human bullet shield for Carol. Life sucks.
We had a bit of drama with Merle and Daryl as they went off on their own. I can't believe they didn't kill each other growing up- they definitely have a sibling annoyance between them. Daryl is nothing like he used to be- it just goes to show when he went to help those strangers without a moment's hesitation when Merle reluctantly helped. Daryl is a pure soul now and Merle needs to realise that. We also got an insight into their lives before the zombie-apocalypse and... they didn't exactly have the best upbringing, which is obvious. I actually loved their fight and Daryl leaving because it really showed how much Daryl has grown and shows him for the true and good man he really is- he needed to realise that. His real family is back at the prison.
Why is Hershel always away from safety when there's a Walker attack!?!? He's all the way in the field, on crutches and Rick can't even help him because he's on the opposite side of a fence!! I was worrying for Hershel the entire time!!
Damn the Governor for showing up and having a massive shoot out- though the shooting action was very entertaining. I don't know who the hell brought the Walkers in but I want to kill them! Though, Governor, you've underestimated our team by leaving them, assuming they'll be taken down by the Walkers. They will come back to kick your ass!!!
And Daryl came back at the perfect moment!! When Rick was getting overrun with Walkers, me and my mum saw that arrow go into the Walker's head and we literally both shouted 'Daryl' and threw our hands in the air in triumph! It was quite a moment to behold!
This was such a great episode and the rest will no doubt be super stunning too- not many more to go in the series now!
Thanks for reading! Feel free to comment your thoughts! Stay amazing!

SPAM
davepen posted a topic in Off The Hook!Over the last three weeks or so, I've been getting spammed by several sportfishing sites; several times a day, every day. The thing is, I don't fish. Never have. I've never registered at any of these sites, nor I have I visited them. I live in Minnesota, so Florida sportfishing isn't of much interest to me. Yet, all the spam I'm receiving is directed towards florida fishing. I participate in two boating-related sites: reelboating and continuouswave. How do you suppose my email address found it's way to these warm-water sportfishing sites?

- I have some other questions about the Autotether. I'm trying to talk a friend into buying one for himself. We boat together quite often. How would my receiver know his fob(s) from mine? If I want to purchase another fob for my wife, does the new fob work right out of the box?

- I just received my Autotether Solo today and I have a tech-support question. My host does not indicate a fob is registered, but if I turn off the fob the lanyard fires. I turn on a fob and see the steady green light. I turn on the host and the power, reset and #1 fob lights blink for a while, then just the power light. This is on my desk at home, not on the boat. Shouldn't I see one green fob signal light? ETA: After reading the manual a bit more, it appears this is normal behaviour, am I right? It seems to me the fob signal indicator should stay on; that's what I'd expect it to do anyway. Also, I'm extremely impressed at the construction quality of the host and fob. Very nice. The fob needs a ring on it somewhere other than just the slots for a strap.
