A seminal name in the modern melodic techno world, Ryan Davis now returns to Anjunadeep with his latest single ‘Alow’, off of his upcoming ‘Home EP’. At once both intimate and complex, ‘Alow’ is a deep demonstration of the German producer’s penchant for meaningful songwriting and evocative organic composition. When I shot this music video back in the late spring of 2015 I thought it was meaningful, but now in 2018, in this very moment I got to understand its whole meaning… Sometimes there is love, we find that great one, but sometimes space and time doesn’t match… You… Me… different realities. It’s hard to take that maybe life has a different plan, but if you truly love that person, you let it be, free, even if that means a painful let go, because maybe those “stars” will find their way back to you. Reality speaks in mysterious ways. With love, for Silvia.

Manipur officials to study exodus situation The Manipur government will send senior officials to Karnataka and Maharashtra to look into the exodus of North East people from these states in the wake of the recent Assam violence. The decision was taken during a Cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh late last night, an official spokesman said on Saturday, adding the government took "seriously: the reported attack on Manipuris in Karnataka and Maharashtra. The official spokesman said the state government was in touch with the offices of the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister and also with the governments of Karnataka and Maharashtra to take whatever steps possible to protect the people from the North Eastern states including, the "sensitive" state of Manipur. He said as per the Cabinet decision, senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (range one) Clay Khongsai would go to Bengaluru and Mysore in Karnataka. Additional Home Secretary M Yaiskul and the Additional Director of Education (School) Ranjan Yumnam would visit Guwahati while SP (Chandel district) Elangbam Priyokumar would go to Pune to study the situation. The Manipur officials in consultation with their counterparts in these states would work for protection of Manipuris residing there and would advise them according to the situation prevailing there. The spokesman said the Cabinet meeting also discussed the plight of Manipuri students and workers who were returning en masee from the southern states. Meanwhile, media reports said three persons had been arrested by Karnataka Police for allegedly beating Manipuris in that state.
Out of My League was the first book I've bought for the Kindle app. I'm slow on the pick up of new technology. I bought it Saturday night during the first televised Padres game when I attempted to buy the movie novelization of She's Out of My League but ended up with Dirk Hayhurst's book instead. I got hooked quickly and turned off the low definition Padres game and read for a few hours instead. I couldn't put the book down and ended up finishing it last night. Here's how I interpreted his story. Dirk Hayhurst is a goody two-shoes minor league pitcher with loads of self doubt. He's been struggling in the Padres system for years with little hope of ever being promoted. As tough as his season was, his life at home with his family is worse. Constant fighting, a crazy grandmother and a lack of money have him in a bad spot. Then he meets his future wife Bonnie on eHarmony. Family problems and the ugliness of baseball draw Hayhurst into the abyss while Bonnie tries desperately to rescue him. It's a like good and evil are battling over his soul. After an unofficial proposal and return to baseball, Dirk's fortunes start to change with Bonnie's support. He's promoted to the AAA Portland Beavers and playing well but at the same time he's pressured from Bonnie to get a ring to make their engagement official. Nothing is ever easy. Finally Hayhurst is rewarded for his performance in AAA and becomes a San Diego Padre. He is introduced to the glitz and glamor of the Major Leagues as well as Brian Giles' genitalia and is awed by it all. But with fortune and glory comes veteran hazing, crippling pressure and non-stop failure. Everyone on the outside expects Dirk to be on top of the world but that's far from the case. He hits rock bottom when Padres pitching Coach Darren Balsley (who is shown in a really bad light) crushes his spirit. Balsley is the personification of Dirk's self doubt. While getting no support from Balsley he is getting too much support from Bonnie. Her constant positivity becomes extremely annoying, she can't seem to leave Dirk alone to stew in his misery. She tries to cheer him up with talks of their shared future and some cuddling. Hayhurst loses his temper. He's been stretched too thin and is at his breaking point. Will he ever succeed in the big leagues? Will he go through with his marriage to Bonnie as scheduled? Will she always correct him when he says "my career" instead of "our career"? Will he quit the game he's played his entire life? Will he make peace with his family? You'll have to read the book to find out. Hayhurst is an informative and entertaining writer and while his story arc is worth reading on it's own, the little anecdotes about life in the Padres organization were gravy on the cake. Best baseball book of 2012!
15-24 Mar: A unique networking opportunity for Irish businesses to meet their India counterparts while immersing themselves in the Indian capital of culture, GOLF FOR HOPE will give Irish business people an opportunity to play Golf in one of the world’s oldest Golf Clubs. This ten day experience of a lifetime for just 20 people takes place from the 15th – 24th March 2013 and is being backed by top businessmen from the Kolkata Chamber of Commerce, with a highlight of the tour being The HOPE Golf Cup fundraising Tournament and dinner at the Tollygunge Golf Club, where leading health, education and finance professionals will be in attendance. As well as golf and sightseeing, such as a river cruise of the Ganges, participants will visit HOPEs children’s projects in Kolkata to see firsthand the work of The Hope Foundation where they will get the opportunity to see just where fundraised money is being invested. This is a chance for people to give a little back, spending time with children who have been given so little, yet have so much joy to share. Club members are looking forward to extending the hand of welcome to the visitors. They will be inviting them to cultural evenings of music, food and art in their homes. Lending his support to the GOLF FOR HOPE initiative and inviting all Golf enthusiasts to take part in the trip, Irish Golfing champion Padraig Harrington said, “It is heartening that even in these challenging economic times for many people in our own country, they willingly continue to support HOPE and their work of rescuing children in India, changing lives and building a sustainable future for them. I am delighted to support the ongoing tremendous work of HOPE and encourage golfers to take this opportunity to play at the first ever golf club to be established outside of the British Isles in 1829 ‘The Royal Calcutta Golf Club’ – where I played as an amateur and would certainly recommend, along with a visit to the wonderful HOPE projects to see how together we can make a difference.” Costing just €1,500, this is an exceptional opportunity for any keen golfer or travel enthusiast and an ideal opportunity for businesses to promote Ireland in India, as well as encouraging Indian Golfers and Businesses to return to Ireland in 2013 for The Gathering.
Sweden supports UN reform efforts in Vietnam Vietnam is one of eight countries worldwide piloting UN reform at the country level from late 2005. According to Sweden’s Ambassador to Vietnam, the One UN initiative in Vietnam in particular has so far been well-organised and moved on with impressive pace. “This process has showed the clear leadership of the Government of Vietnam but has also involved all concerned agencies, donors and other stakeholders in a constructive and transparent fashion,” he said in a press release. The One UN Initiative in Vietnam was launched to better harmonise the activities of the UN agencies, funds and programmes as a means of achieving greater focus, efficiency and development. The Initiative is comprised of five key areas: One Leader, One Plan, One Budget, One set of Management Practices and One UN House. \|Back Top page Print Email\|

our defense can't actually play defense, nor can it transition to offense gotta be able to do at least one of those things to have a chance in this league or have a goalie who can stand on his head night in and night out we haven't had any of those things this season we never adequately replaced the losses of Lidstrom, Rafalski, and Stuart, and I know there's no replacing a guy like Nick, but it seems Holland really has effed up the entire D corps the last couple of years I think this is accurate. Everyone focuses on the loss of Lidstrom, but Rafalski and, to a lesser extent, Stuart were also outstandinding puck movers. I remember something Fedorov said to the Anaheim coach(could've been Babs?) after he started playing for them, and he was complaining that the D never passed him the puck, and Babs told him the reason they didn't give him the puck was b/c they couldn't, they didn't have the skill like he was used to having in Detroit, getting that first pass on the tape to spring him through the neutral zone with speed so yeah, I agree it is a big problem with the team now- not enough d-men that can make that first outlet pass out of the zone does babs beat the emotion out of all the players? cause i never see frustration out of any of the players. one guy gets knocked the f* out. oh well. losing 4-1 oh well. lose 4-5 games straight oh well. go break your stick go take your frustrations out with a few hundred hits. crosscheck do something to show me you care. sure it might be unprofessional to break your stick but id feel alot better cause it shows you give a f* Babs has them all on Prozac, it's the only explanation that makes sense

Dec 29, 2008 I have an HTC model, the S640 "Iris" on Telus network, which exhibits an odd battery level behavior. Rebooting (or turning it on from an off state) causes a significant drop in battery level of about 15% each time which seems excessive.I'm wondering what users of other HTC devices are getting when they perform a similar action. Would readers please share their experience in the following simple test? View 1 Replies 1. Fully charge the battery with phone on. (This ensures a 100% charge at start. I'm assuming you are charging the battery while inside the phone.) 2. Unplug charger. (Make sure to do this.) 3. Reboot. (Off followed immediately by on.) 4. What is the battery level? (For accuracy, this should be the percent level, not the number of bars on the home screen.) I get an average of 84%. You don't have to do this several times as I did but the range I got was 73 to 88% with majority being in the mid-80s.As a little bit of variant, if I charged the battery with phone off during step 1, I end up with a tad less than 84% indicating the battery acquires extra charge if phone was on.Either way, if repeated without recharging back up to 100%, it drops by around 15% each time all the way down to near zero. With some other tests I have performed, I theorize it is not a "real" 15% drop (for example, it takes far less time to recharge back up to 100% than if the 15% drop was caused by actual airtime/standby). At this early stage of testing, I suspect the battery meter is involved but not necessarily the sole culprit - it could be wrongly interacting with electronics within the battery. Perhaps it is the software which retains the lowest point in the momentary negative spike as the new baseline when establishing the battery level. I believe the lithium energy store per se is fine. At 15% drop for each reboot, whether "real" or not, is of concern in the following manner. The phone behaves as if the new lower level is true. So when the level reaches near zero through repeated reboots, it will not last too long - I have found that to be true. Suppose you reboot several times in a day such as during meetings or some social engagement. The device reaches critically low battery level much sooner than expected particularly if you were unaware of this rebooting phenomenon. That could cause an inconvenient situation let alone during a need to use the phone in an emergency.

Pat Lowery. In both cases, the man has been described as a light-skinned black male ages 18 to 19 with short black hair. He is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and described as having a slender build Detectives ask that anyone with information regarding the identity of this suspect contact the Kent Police Department at 253-856-5808.

Google decided to have a little fun on Thursday with the release of its newest transparency report, turning to stop-motion animation to tell the tale of how the company processes government requests for user data. An amusing 3-minute video chronicles "in plain language" how the Silicon Valley company responds to search warrants from law-enforcement officials—and the many opportunities they have to reject requests from scary-looking G-men that are overly broad or contain inaccurate information. "In the course of a criminal investigation, sometimes the government requests information on Google users," the video's upbeat narrator begins. "Here's how we protect users' information from excessive requests while also following the law." Google's new transparency numbers, by the way, reveal that government requests for user information in criminal cases are up about 120 percent since the first report was published in 2009. Those requests--generally from the FBI and local police--are separate from the controversial surveillance programs housed at the National Security Agency that collects Internet data from Google and other tech companies, the details of which were exposed by leaks from Edward Snowden last year. "Though our number of users has grown throughout the time period, we're also seeing more and more governments start to exercise their authority to make requests," Google said in a companion blog post announcing its updated transparency report. "You deserve to know when and how governments request user information online, and we'll keep fighting to make sure that's the case." The Obama administration announced in January that it would permit Internet companies to disclose more about government data requests for customer information, saying that "public interest in disclosing the information now outweighs the national security concerns that required its classification." But Google and other companies have clamored for more transparency, and have repeatedly criticized NSA surveillance in particular for harming business and relations with other countries.

There have been so many rumors and pie-in-the-sky dreams about a Los Angeles football stadium that we won't believe it's happening until they actually cut the ribbon. But so far, nothing has come to nothing because those dreams were held by rich men hoping to lure an NFL team to L.A. This one's different. The man who just bought a prime, stadium-sized plot of land already owns an NFL team. The Los Angeles Times reports that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke, though an intermediary holding company, has purchased an empty 60-acre lot in Inglewood. It sits between the Forum and Hollywood Park, which closed for good last month and is set to be replaced by a housing, hotel, and retail complex. It's big enough for a stadium and parking, centrally located, and has long been rumored as a potential stadium site. Back east in St. Louis, Stan Kroenke hasn't been a happy man. He's never publicly committed to keeping the team in town, but has often not-so-subtly raised the specter of Los Angeles if he doesn't get what he wants: public funding for an upgraded stadium. In 2012, the city rejected a plan that would have pumped $700 million in taxpayer dollars into improvements on the Edward Jones Dome, and that has practical ramifications—a clause in the Rams' lease states that if the stadium isn't one of the league's eight best by the end of next season, the lease converts to a year-to-year deal. The land and the lease, two of the bigger obstacles for any team looking to move to L.A., are already taken care of for Kroenke. A third, too: Last week the city of Pasadena won a long legal battle that will allow the Rose Bowl to host an NFL team while a new L.A. Stadium is under construction. Which doesn't mean this is actually happening. Los Angeles has long existed as a bogeyman to invoke as leverage any time a team wants public cash for its stadium. Give it to us or we're out of here. Physically buying the land for a stadium could merely be more and better leverage for Kroenke. But he's willing, and increasingly able to actually follow through on his threats. This is now a high-stakes game of chicken, and St. Louis could eventually blink—but the machinations of relocation have to start somewhere.
Industry analysts are so-so about prospects for HP's TouchPad tablet, which goes on sale Friday. The temper and tone of their conclusions reflect many of the product reviews appearing today, in which the TouchPad often suffers in comparison to the industry-leading Apple iPad. On paper, TouchPad has many of the features and capabilities of rival tablets, including those based on Google's Android operating systems. The pricing is comparable, $500 for the 16GB model and $600 for the 32GB model. Above this, the HP device features the innovative webOS firmware and user interface, acquired with the $1.2 billion buyout of Palm, which was completed a year ago almost to the day. HP also has extensive relationships with retailer chains through which it will be able reach consumers, including Amazon, BestBuy, Radio Shack and Wal-Mart. But analysts aren't convinced that these add up to a home run for TouchPad, or even a triple. "Apple has such as big lead and Android has so many manufacturers at so many price points, that HP is squeezed between the high price/high functionality of the iPad and the variety and expected lower price points of Android," says Ken Dulaney, vice president of mobile at Gartner. "The bugs listed by Walt Mossberg today in his Wall Street Journal review are what many saw in early RIM Playbooks as well. Quality can permanently kill a product's chances. His report is very serious." Some reviewers said that they were told by HP that the company is aware of the bugs and has either already fixed some of them or will do so in an webOS firmware update that will be out "soon." "HP is coming to the fight with slick, but thick and heavy, hardware," says Avi Greengarten, research director for consumer devices at Current Analysis, a research firm that specializes in tactical competitive analysis for companies. He also just published a hands-on review of TouchPad. "The [webOS] user interface is spectacular, but buggy. It, too, lacks a critical mass of tablet apps. If HP can iron out the bugs, it can make a play for consumers seeking a tablet for personal productivity, and then hope to attract more developers to the platform." WebOS "looks very competitive," agrees Mykola Golovko, consumer electronics analyst at Euromonitor International, a global market research company. But on the downside, he notes that iPad 2 is lighter, thinner, has superior battery performance (though TouchPad is comparable or better to many Android rivals), and a wealth of tablet-specific applications (over 90,000 compared to the TouchPad's starting slate of about 300). But having said that, Golovko is taking a long view of HP's webOS ambitions. He estimates global tablet sales will be about 32 million units in 2011, and 180 million by 2015. "So, the TouchPad is largely meant to demonstrate the ability of WebOS to compete with Android, iOS, and eventually Windows 8" on tablets, he says. "As such, to measure the success or failure of the TouchPad solely in terms of sales figures and market share would be shortsighted. A more accurate measure would be the share of WebOS as a platform in computers and smartphones in 2012-2013, be it on HP-branded devices or licensed to third-party manufacturers." TouchPad is intended as one element in an ecosystem of webOS products, from mobile devices to networked printers to PCs, all slated to be updated with the firmware, says Grupreet Kaur, tablet market analyst with Gap Intelligence, a marketing intelligence firm. In the future, TouchPad will be a part of a webOS ecosystem, as HP introduces the firmware to an array of its other products, from printers to PCs, enabling them to share information and tasks quickly and easily. "People are more familiar with iOS and Android," she says. "WebOS is new and unique. Getting the message across [to potential buyers] will be very important." Despite the lukewarm reviews, getting the word out will hinge on both HP's marketing campaign and the in-store user experience at retailers. The hands-on consumer experience here will be critical, Kaur says, and HP must ensure demonstration units are available, functional, and sales reps are well-trained on the product and its selling points. Euromonitor's Golovko was expecting HP to sell TouchPad mainly through telecom carriers, where the price could be lowered through traditional carrier subsidies. "Selling the TouchPad at its normal retail price will be a challenge for HP as consumers will expect the product to be priced lower than iPad 2," Golovko says. HP is "absolutely" competitive with Apple in terms of retail distribution but this is "absolutely not" a competitive advantage for HP, says Greengarten, of Current Analysis. "Apple's problem is not that you can't buy an iPad at Walgreens," he says. "It's that Apple can't make them fast enough to stock Apple's stores, Best Buy, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless."

He also has returned two interceptions for scores.
First Look: Speck Fitted Woody for iPhone 4/4S Speck's releasing a special edition of its Fitted case for the holidays, with a bit of a twist. Instead of fabric, Fitted Woody ($50*) -- which will be available starting on Black Friday -- is backed with mahogany. And not just any old mahogany, but "hip, fashionable mahogany," as Speck explains it. The case will only be available from the company's website, and will be limited to 150 individually numbered units. The $50 is an introductory sale price, but Speck hasn't said yet what the price will be after that if it doesn't sell out on the first day.
“[New billionaires in fast-growing countries] have to buy longer-range airplanes. If you’re flying from Mongolia to Nigeria, it’s either a three-day journey flying commercial or a nine-hour flight on your jet.” Aero car takes to the air The Transition "roadable" aircraft-which can be converted from a car to an airplane or vice versa in less than 30 seconds-made its debut flight on March 5. The trip aloft was the first of several exercises in which the vehicle will be flown only over a runway, according to manufacturer Terrafugia, a Woburn, Mass. startup firm. Plans call for one or more prototypes to be flight tested, leading to FAA certification in the Light Sport Aircraft category and first deliveries in 2011. The LSA category means an FAA-licensed pilot is required to operate the Transition in flight mode. A single 100-hp Rotax engine turning a four-blade propeller powers the two-seat machine. It will cruise up to 450 miles at more than 115 mph, can drive at highway speeds on the road and can fit into most home garages, according to Terrafugia, which was founded by five pilots who are all MIT graduates. Using unleaded premium gas, the Transition will achieve about 30 mpg, the company claims. From inside the cabin, the pilot can change between flying and driving configuration by flipping a switch that folds or unfolds the wings. Terrafugia-one of several companies with flying cars in the works-said it has orders for 40 of its Transition vehicles, which carry a base price of $194,000.

Five Prospects To Watch In The East-West Shrine Game By Ken Scudero The East-West Shrine Game gives talented draft prospects the opportunity to stand out in an all-star environment, whether they've been overlooked all season or they have some momentum following the bowl season. The game is also important for players from small schools who can prove they are draftable players by performing against prospects from the big schools. There are plenty of guys in this game we've been watching all year, and there are some guys who will make plays and come out of nowhere in an effort to win over NFL scouts. Here are five players to watch, because I think these guys are great prospects who deserve a closer look.
A lot of misconception about Ralph Lauren in general in this thread as of late lol... The ones that think they know, just know so little. Yes reselling merch is frowned upon.. But Ralph Lauren encourages employees to buy more, because it's great advertising for him. Business with employees are sort of similar to this forum actually. Just like this thread, a lot of us choose what we buy based on the pictures and how it looks on the individual. If you see an employee with...
UK teens bullied into sending sex texts P2P playground predators exposed in new survey UK teenagers are increasingly sending provocative pictures of themselves to each other in mobile phone and email messages, with some youngsters getting bullied or coerced into making explicit images of themselves. A survey of 2,000 UK youngsters by charity Beatbullying found that more than a third (38 per cent) of 11-18 year-olds have received an "offensive or distressing sexual image" via either text or email. These sex texts - or "sexts" - were most often sent to their school friends and often took the form of boys or girls exposing themselves (or in some cases masturbating) rather than sex acts between youngsters. Sexual content is also been exchanged by teenagers through social networking groups. A quarter of the messages (23 per cent) were sent by a recipient's current boyfriend or girlfriend. A further 45 per cent came from a peer. Two per cent of the messages came from adults. Of the quarter of those surveyed who received an "offensive sexual image", 55 per cent were sent via mobile phone. Beatbullying said that in many cases girls, in particular, are bullied into making and distributing explicit pictures of themselves. Sexting is therefore much more than a high-tech updates to the game of "show me yours and I'll show you mine". Under UK law even children who distribute pictures of themselves can be charged with child porn offences. Peer to peer anti-social and predatory behaviour is one of the biggest single threats faces young people online, Beatbullying warns. Emma-Jane Cross, Beatbullying chief executive, said: "We don't want to stifle young people's sexual development, but it is important that parents and schools understand the rise of sexting so together we can act to stop sexual bullying." "Politicians must pool together organisations like Beatbullying to create an intervention and prevention task force in schools and the local community," she added. Schools Minister Diana Johnson told the BBC that the government was engaged in developing policies to tackle all forms of bullying, including developing schemes in partnership with technology firms to combat high-tech threats. ® Sponsored: 2016 Cyberthreat defense report
The air in doctor’s waiting rooms is green. You can see it, if you look around properly. The air is shamrock green and hangs heavy with plague. You feel it on your skin, the bacteria, crawling. You breathe in disease. The door handles, the plastic seats, the anti-bacterial hand gel dispenser: riddled. A man’s cough makes you wince. Even the receptionist is sniffling. Look at all these people whose bodies don’t work properly. We are so far from perfection. Old age is catching. Dying is contagious. You sit, silently judging the young mothers who seemingly bring their children here to play, watching the tiny hands of tiny humans pushing beads around on the old wooden abacus that stands in the centre of the room, wondering if any of these people even have an appointment or if they’re just here to gossip in their native tongue, in the warm, in the green air. You tut when a baby begins to cry and shake your head when somebody speaks loudly on their mobile phone and sigh because the doctor is running 55 minutes behind schedule and you realise how much you hate everything and everyone, and remember that that’s why you’re in the waiting room in the first place, because your brain is unwell and it’s making your body unwell and you are sick of being sick. There is no cure for you, only more bad news, which you wait for in the room with the green air. Trying not to inhale others’ disgustingness, you read the posters on the wall. Propaganda breeds paranoia. You begin to worry about ailments that will never affect you. You don’t (and won’t ever) have the money to visit far-flung tropical destinations but now you are convinced that you have malaria. You will never make it to be 60 years of age but decide that the rash you found yesterday is certainly shingles. You will never have children and are militant about contraception but you place a hand on your belly and fear that you are pregnant. You are waiting to see the man who killed your father. You avoid seeing him as much as possible, but you’ve come off lithium after five years and your blood test results aren’t good and he keeps leaving you voicemails and sending you letters so you sort of have to see him if only to get him to leave you alone. Our family GP: the unemotional Egyptian man who drinks too much coffee, the man who does and says nothing while you cry and tell him that you want to die, the man who always tells you that, “You can’t drink anymore,” to which you always reply, “I know. But I won’t drink any less, either”, the man who accidentally, unknowingly, unwittingly killed your father. You want to kill him. The GP. You want to kill him because he killed your dad but you know it’s not his fault. Of course it’s not his fault. Even though it was his one unnecessary decision that set in motion the horrific chain of events that led to your darling father’s demise. If he didn’t send your dad for that needless scan, your dad would still be alive. Of this you are certain, although nothing is certain in life, apart from death. It’s not his fault but it is. Does he know that it’s his fault? Does he regret what he did? Of course he doesn’t. He has so many lives in his hands, he can’t possibly notice every time one of those lives slips through his fingers. But everyone would notice if his life were to slip through mine. When you sit in that tiny side room with him the air turns from green you can’t see and you can’t breathe you run out of the surgery to the street where the air runs clear. Why are some lives worth more than others? Who decides? We are so very far from perfection.
The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the following five general phases: 1. Project Preparation, in which the project team is identified and mobilized, the project standards are defined, and the project work environment is set up; 2. Blueprint, in which the business processes are defined and the business blueprint document is designed; 3. Realization, in which the system is configured, knowledge transfer occurs, extensive unit testing is completed, and data mappings and data requirements for migration are defined; 4. Final Preparation, in which final integration testing, stress testing, and conversion testing are conducted, and all end users are trained; and 5. Go-Live and Support, in which the data is migrated from the legacy systems, the new system is activated, and post-implementation support is provided. ASAP incorporates standard design templates and accelerators covering every functional area within the system, as well as supporting all implementation processes. Complementing the ASAP accelerators, the project manager can create a comprehensive project plan, covering the overall project, project staffing plan, and each sub-process such as system testing, communication and data migration. Milestones are set for every work path, and progress is carefully tracked by the project management team. Weekly update meetings ensure full communication between the project team, the client project team, and project management. These meeting are used not only to update on project status, but also to identify any issues or risk areas that may threaten the project. By identifying these problems early, they are more easily mitigated and resolved, reducing their impact on the project timeline. Ensuring Quality and Mitigating Risk Project quality is verified near the completion of each project phase. Using existing ASAP checklists, these quality checks ensure that all tasks for the phase have been completed properly, that all relevant documentation has been kept, and that all tasks required to commence the next phase of the project have been completed. In addition to the specific project team, companies may use Quality Assurance reviews on all of its projects to ensure that experience gained on other projects has been taken into account and that the optimum system design has been utilized.
Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall (Colo.) pays his female staffers only 86 cents on the dollar compared to men, leaving the Colorado Springs Gazette to question the validity of Udall’s “war on women” attacks on his Republican opponent Rep. Cory Gardner. In an editorial published Thursday, the Gazette said Udall and Democrats are getting “loose with the facts”: We never thought Colorado’s leading Democrats would appear so desperate. Sen. Mark Udall’s daily attacks on U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner are a boring broken record about some make-believe war on women. In truth, Udall has an issue to explain to Colorado women. The Free Beacon first reported on Udall’s gender pay discrepancy in April, noting that men on his staff receive an average of $9,783 more than women. A Watchdog.org analysis of salaries additionally found that on Gardner’s staff women make more money than men. There are also more full-time women staffers in his office than there are men.

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Paul Welle was the first of four MIT runners in the top 15, as the Cardinal and Gray finished second at the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational on Saturday. Tech totaled 73 team points, just three behind first place, Keene State. Welle placed fourth overall, with a time of 24:50 on the eight-kilometer course. Dan Harper was the next best Tech finisher, coming through the chute in 25:07 and in 13th place. Stephen Serene was two places behind Harper, navigating the course in 25:09. Roy Wedge earned 15 points with his time of 25:10. Matt Metlitz (25:42) rounded out the scoring for the Engineers with a 36th-place showing. A pair of Keene State harriers took the top two spots in the meet, providing a cushion that MIT's depth was unable to overcome. Brandeis finished in a close third place with 79 points. MIT will compete in the Purple Valley Classic next weekend, hosted by Williams College. The meet will begin at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 25.
On Wednesday morning, labor leader Cindy Chavez was leading the race to fill a Santa Clara County Supervisor's seat left by disgraced George Shirakawa Jr, but she didn't have enough votes to win outright, forcing a runoff election on July 30. With all 58 precints reporting, Chavez had 41 percent of the votes following the Tuesday night special election, with water district communications manager Teresa Alvarado following behind with 31 percent of the votes. To win, contenders would have had to have won with more than 50 percent of the vote. The costly $500,000 special election was held to fill the District 2 seat held by Shirakawa Jr., who pleaded guilty in March to 12 counts of corruption and theft of public funds. His plea saved him from a possible eight-year prison stint. He is now expected to be sentenced on Friday, where a judge will decide to honor his agreement with prosecutors to spend no more than one year in county jail. Shirakawa Jr. resigned hours after he was charged on March 1, and admitted that he has long battled depression and a gambling addicition. The mail-in ballots will be counted by Friday, with provisional votes to be tallied by Monday, elections officials said. Turnout was less than 17 percent of the 117,456 registered voters inistrict 2 for the nonpartisan contest. That percentage doesn't include the provisional and last-minute mail-in ballots. The other candidates vying for the seat that represents Downtown San Jose and the city's East Side are Scott Hung Pham, a 49-year-old Vietnamese-American college instructor (14 percent), Patricia Martinez-Roach, 63, a schoolteacher and former school board member (7 percent); Joseph La Jeunesse, 44, a deputy county sheriff (3 percent); and David Wall, 58, a retired San Jose city employee (3 percent.) Andrew Diaz, 70, was a write-in candidate. There were elections in other Bay Area counties as well on Tuesday night. Hercules voters passed a utility users tax with 70 percent of the vote. The Bolinas-Stinson Union School District passed Measure A, a special tax assessment, with 66.7 percent of the vote. And Watsonville's Measure T lost in a landslide: 77 percent of the voters rejected a proposal to expand onto 95 acres of farmland. Opponents, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, had argued the land was too valuable for growing crops to pave over to solve the city's economic woes.
Jwareshwar Mahadev is a very angry form of Shiva and it appeared from Shiva’s body when He heard about the death of His consort Sati. As Jwareshwar, Shiva is the Lord of fevers. Legend has it that Daksha Prajapati was not happy with his daughter Sati marrying Shiva. He conducted a yajna and invited all the people except Shiva. The sole aim of the yajna was to insult Shiva. Shiva ignored the yajna but Sati went to the yajna to find out why Her husband was not invited. Daksha Prajapati insulted the ways of Shiva and Sati could not bear these insults. Sati then sat in meditation and stoked Her inner fire and self immolated Herself. On hearing this news, Shiva experienced intense pangs of separation. Soon uncontrollable anger overtook Shiva, from the anger appeared monsters of fever. Shiva became Jwareshwar Mahadev – the lord of fever. These monsters went to the yajna and spread fever. Shiva as Jwareshwar Mahadev is worshipped in a small temple adjacent to the famous , which is one among the twelve jyotirlingas. Trimbakeshwar Temple

Thought leaders within the IT community are beginning to view cybersecurity not just as part and parcel of the everyday cost of doing business, but as an enabler, a direct driver of business continuity and bottom-line growth. This shift in perception has begun to have a dramatic impact on the position and role of security within organizations from a view of "security means you can't" to "security means you can."

Derivatives Use and Risk Taking: Evidence from the Hedge Fund Industry Texas A&M University - Department of Finance January 31, 2010 Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA), Forthcoming EFA 2008 Athens Meetings Paper This paper examines the use of derivatives and its relation with risk-taking in the hedge fund industry. From a large sample of hedge funds, 71% of the funds trade derivatives. After controlling for fund strategies and characteristics, derivatives users on average exhibit lower fund risks, such as market risk, downside risk, and event risk; such risk reduction is especially pronounced for directional-style funds. Further, derivatives users engage less in risk shifting and are less likely to liquidate in a poor market state. However, the flow-performance relation suggests that investors do not differentiate derivatives users when making investing decisions.

The need for a chapel larger than the one in College Hall had long been felt. Not only was it impossible to assemble there for any purpose the whole college community...but the size of the room also prevented an increase in enrollment, desirable as that was for educational and financial reasons. The students adopted a new chapel as their cause. ...When the students presented their plans to the Trustees, William S. Houghton had been impressed by their earnestness and wished to help them as on many other occasions he had quietly supported the college. - From Wellesley College 1875-1975: A Century of Women In 1896, a gift of $100,000 was made for a new chapel, donated by Miss Elizabeth G. Houghton and Mr. Clement S. Houghton, in memory of their father. The William S. Houghton Memorial Chapel was designed by Heins and La Farge, the architects of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, and dedicated on June 1, 1899. Since its dedication on June 1 1899, the historic Houghton Chapel has served as a center of community life at Wellesley College. The Chapel has also provided a critical venue for College ceremonies and traditions, for concerts, lectures, and other performances. For nearly the entire history of Wellesley College, Houghton Chapel has afforded the community a spiritual space, which supports and complements the pursuit of intellectual excellence and personal growth. As indicated by the three keys given to each president of Wellesley College as she takes office (to the library, the dormitory, and the Chapel), the Chapel reflects the College’s commitment that the education of the whole person—intellectually, relationally, and spiritually—remains at the core of the mission of the institution. In the spring of 2008, renovations were completed to Houghton Chapel including the restoration of the upper Chapel and the creation of the new Multifaith Center on the first level of the building. The Multifaith Center is a global center of learning and discovery for all people; a place for prayer, meditation, study, worship, and education. By adding new sacred spaces to our existing facilities in the Chapel and Hillel Lounge (Billings Hall), the Center provides spaces for regular gathering for all of our religious communities including Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian (Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Evangelical), Hindu, Humanist, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Native African, Native American, Quaker, Sikh, and Unitarian Universalist groups. The Center is also home to Wellesley’s nationally recognized programs in Religious and Spiritual Life including Beyond Tolerance, which engages community members in programs on interfaith understanding, dialogue and conflict resolution, and Education as Transformation, which offers opportunities for constructing meaning through spiritual reflection and practice.

Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Northern Virginia Bettas are very intelligent and trainable, although it is disadvantaged in the area of trainability compared to other fish because constantly giving a betta food rewards in order to train them is problematic, since a betta will quickly become bloated. Goldfish and large cichlids like oscars are more trainable because they can take more consecutive food rewards without feeling the consequences, so the behavior is more easily ingrained in these fish. I have seen plenty of bettas swim through hoops, and other simple tricks.
He kept up the same efforts for Lyndon B. Johnson, and in 1965, as Johnson prepared to propose what became the landmark Voting Rights Act, it was White who urged him to address the joint session of Congress, in which the president memorably vowed, “We shall overcome.” White, the son of a grocer in Omaha, was a shrewd judge of people, and he quickly learned to read Johnson’s mood. “When LBJ was angry, there was no doubt about it,” he once recalled. “He looked down at me and saw an invisible tag saying, ‘Inherited from Kennedy. Won’t understand.’” But Johnson also relied greatly on White’s counsel. After White’s death, his fellow White House aide Bill Moyers told the Washington Post that Johnson often made the trek to White’s small second-floor office in the West Wing to seek his advice, rather than summoning him to the Oval Office—a gesture of respect not accorded to others. White saw the realities and limits of Washington at close range, but his outlook remained upbeat. “I am a Democrat, and a proud one,” he wrote in his memoir. “I believe that government ‘for the people’ can and should strive to improve the lot of its citizens and provide for the nation’s security. As a dyed-in-the-wool optimist and a native Nebraskan, I even believe it is possible there could be a Republican administration that would espouse and try to achieve those goals. Regardless of political parties or affiliation, we as a nation need to reaffirm and adhere to the guiding principles of our Constitution.”
Mountain Home Republican Rep. Pete Nielsen wants to make it clear that you can carry a small knife without a concealed weapons permit in the state, but like most things, making the change the right way is a little more complicated that it would seem. Right now, Idaho requires a concealed weapons permit for much more than just handguns. Here’s what the law says: “Except in the person’s place of abode or fixed place of business, or on property in which the person has any ownership or leasehold interest, a person shall not carry a concealed weapon without a license to carry a concealed weapon. For the purposes of this section, a concealed weapon means any dirk, dirk knife, bowie knife, dagger, pistol, revolver or any other deadly or dangerous weapon. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle.” Nielsen said law enforcement officials have told him that pocket knives, even small ones, count as “any other deadly or dangerous weapon.” So he wants to exclude knives shorter than 4 inches, as well as make it clear that it’s OK to carry pepper spray and lawful tazers. The debate in House State Affairs this morning was where in the code, exactly, to do that. Nielsen is working with the sheriff’s association and other lawmakers now on where to add the exclusion (probably in that last sentence I quoted above). I could have sworn I could remember some debate about knife blade length over the years… So I looked it up, and found that an Idaho law redrawn in 2000, which made it clear that it was illegal for students to carry weapons on school grounds – except for pocket knives with blades shorter than 2.5 inches long. So theoretically, can a student may be following the letter of one law and find him or herself violating the other? These two pieces of state code are both in Title 18, both in Chapter 33. The concealed weapons law is 18-3302. The school prohibition is 18-3302D. But the school prohibition doesn’t outline a specific knife length in its own words, instead it says this: “’Deadly or dangerous weapon’ means any weapon as defined in 18 U.S.C. section 930.” The U.S. code then defines that as “a weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury, except that such term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of less than 2 1/2 inches in length.” There is no real definition of “deadly or dangerous weapon” in the concealed weapons law. But since in they’re in the same title and chapter, wouldn’t the second definition suffice? Not necessarily – it depends on how the lawmakers word it. In the school weapons ban, the definition is specific: “As used in this section.” In some other code sections, definitions are written with much broader intent, like “As used in this chapter, and other applicable sections of the Idaho Code.” So in this case, the 2.5-inch blades allowed in schools could still be illegal to carry if you don’t have a concealed weapon permit – at least until or if Rep. Nielsen makes this change. (And then you could have two laws referring to two different lengths of knife blades). Here’s a quick aside about that guns in schools measure: The bill was brought by a Southern Idaho Republican and supported by gun owners including Gerry Sweet, who was the legislative chairman of the Idaho State Rifle and Pistol Association and later became an Idaho representative of the National Rifle Association and a state lawmaker. The Statesman quoted him on Dec. 21, 1999, which oddly was my very first day on the job there after three years at the Twin Falls Times-News (it was my birthday – which is why I remember that): “When you have a student in school, we are not talking about the same rights adults have,” Sweet said then. “As a citizen, I support the school’s right to make a safe environment.” It was a redrawn version of a bill that passed the House and Senate the year before but was vetoed by then-Gov. Dirk Kempthorne. The reason he gave: the legislators had stipulated that it was OK for teen-agers to leave hunting rifles in their cars in school parking lots (as many of them remembered doing themselves). Kempthorne’s office received more than 1,000 calls, emails and faxes urging him to reject the bill because of that. Columbine was still on everyone’s mind then – but it’s pretty interesting to read those old stories in light of the current debates happening after the Newtown shooting.
© Rockstar Games PS3 And Xbox 360 Games The 10 Most Awesome PS3 & Xbox 360 Games With Sony’s announcement of the PlayStation 4’s release later this year and the inevitable unveiling of the next Xbox from Microsoft around the same time, it looks like it’s time for a curtain call for our faithful gaming systems. We’ve had a lot of good times with our PS3s and Xbox 360s, but all good things must come to an end. This end, however, shall come with a bang rather than a whimper, as developers around the world are sending the current generation off with a slew of stellar looking games that push the limits of what we thought our consoles were capable of. You’ll want to have at least a couple of these titles around as you celebrate the passing of gaming’s longest generation of consoles.
Revised recall: Simplicity Bassinets On 2009-08-20, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a revised recall regarding Simplicity Bassinets due to a potential strangulation and entrapment hazard. It was originally recalled on 2008-09-11. Instance(s) of deaths, injuries have been reported. Learn more and find out what to do if you own this product below. This was the 2nd recall of products in the Bassinets category in 2009. Do you work for a company involved with this recall? Contact us to learn how you can control data, information and ads shown on this page. What is the problem? The Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets, including bassinets with the Graco logo and "Winnie the Pooh" motif licensed by Disney Consumer Products, contain metal bars that are covered by an adjustable fabric flap. This fabric flap is secured by Velcro fasteners, which are intended to be partially removed when the bassinet is converted into the bedside/close-sleeper mode. If the Velcro fasteners are not properly re-secured when the fabric flap is adjusted, or if the consumer entirely removes the fabric flap exposing the metal bars, an infant can slip through the opening between the lower metal bar and the mattress support and become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. Consumers are urged to check their bassinets to ensure they are not using one of the recalled Simplicity bassinets. Instance(s) of deaths, injuries have been reported.

Civic beliefs, such as trust and trustworthiness, are essential for a well-functioning society. Recent research has established the importance of these beliefs for economic success at the macro level. Yet, little quantitative evidence exists on the drivers of civic beliefs, and in turn how civic beliefs affect economic outcomes. In this project, mechanisms are estimated at the individual level. Understanding the channels at the micro-level is essential for designing policy to promote a civic and prosperous society. This project examines empirically the formation of civic beliefs, how cultural norms change and affect benefit up take, and how civic beliefs influence human capital accumulation, labor supply, entrepreneurship, and earnings. A novel method that speaks to the causes behind civic belief formation as well as how the cultural background affects economic outcomes is applied; these are areas where the method has not been applied before. The formation of beliefs and the economic outcomes are studied among second-generation immigrants in a wide set of European countries. Furthermore, the evolution of work norms and sick leave over decades in Sweden are studied in a structural economic model. The structural model is fit to Swedish registry data to understand the long-run dynamics of benefit use in the Swedish welfare state. The estimated structural model is used to conduct counterfactual policy experiments of changes in social insurance program rules and generosity. The project addresses several questions that are high on the political agenda in Sweden and Europe. The economic and cultural assimilation of immigrants is important both for improving individual well-being and for flourishing societies. Learning about the long run dynamics in the Swedish welfare state is essential for guarding the fiscal sustainability of a large public sector.

Bicycle ramp construction at 16th Street Mission Station Construction crews will begin work on a bicycle stair ramp at the 16th Street Mission BART Station on Wednesday, March 14. The work is scheduled to conclude Monday, March 26. BART riders will not have access to the center stairway leading to the southwest plaza during bike ramp construction. The escalator and outside stairway to the southwest plaza will remain open. The work will not block access to the escalator and stairs leading to the northeast plaza; they will remain open during construction. This prototype bicycle stair ramp project will include new, lighted, handrails on the center stairway as well as bike ramps on each side of the stairs. BART will observe and evaluate how bicyclists use the ramps for the next six months. There will be some noise and spot welding during construction. The contractor will use an air filter when welding. BART, the Transportation Fund for Clean Air, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority are providing funding for this project.

Saturday’s sellout crowd of over 41,000 will forever remember being witness to Max Scherzer’s near-perfect no-hitter — a performance so dominant that it’s easy to forget the “supporting cast” that made the victory possible: the big RBIs from Tyler Moore, the towering Bryce Harper home run, the spectacular defense by Danny Espinosa and Michael Taylor. In similar fashion, the Nats racing presidents relied on their supporting cast to vanquish the visiting pierogies from Pittsburgh during Saturday’s fourth inning presidents race. The presidents never go anywhere without their “Secret Service” agents, but the men in black usually keep a low profile. However after Pittsburgh’s racing pierogies came to town Friday and once again tried to wreak havoc on the fourth inning ritual, on Saturday the agents’ role was elevated. Like an NFL return team following it’s blockers, the racing presidents let the Secret Service clear their path. As they circled the warning track, the agents slammed the visiting dumplings into the dirt, leaving an almost-clear path for the commanders-in-chief. But Theodore Roosevelt’s longtime nemesis Potato Pete had stayed behind, and as Teddy led the pack toward the finish line, Pete launched himself at the Rough Rider from a folding table. That’s when the Secret Service agents intercepted Pete and slammed him into the stands in Section 134-A. As the pierogie lay writhing on his back in the handicapped section, our 26th president barreled ahead to claim his fifth presidents race victory of 2015. The pierogies will be back on Sunday, giving Potato Pete one final chance to take down Roosevelt at Nationals Park this season.

Sophie, Countess of Wessex is to attend this year’s Border Union Show on July 26 and 27, in her role as Royal Patron of the Border Union Agricultural Society’s Bicentenary year. “We are honoured that HRH The Countess of Wessex has chosen to attend our bicentenary Border Union Show on both days,” Ron Wilson, secretary of the Border Union Agricultural Society said. “The Countess’s presence acknowledges the importance of this event in the Borders calendar and is a wonderful way to mark our 200th year. “I am sure the attending crowds will also be delighted to see HRH at the Show,” Ron added. The Border Union show is set to take place at Springwood Park, Kelso in Scotland, later this month. It will feature more than 500 exhibitors and there will be more than 2,000 entrants to the various livestock judging categories. Sophie will be given a tour of the event, and is likely to spend the two days exploring some of the exhibitions. One of the highlights of the show is set to be an exciting History of the Horse Pageant, which will feature stunt riders. Last week, the Countess of Wessex was praised for her compassion and dedication to her charities after a visit to a school in London. Sophie stopped by The Vale School in Haringey as part of her royal duties when headteacher Sarah McLay spoke of her joy of the royal’s visit. “It was a pleasure to welcome Her Royal Highness and esteemed guests to our school,” Sarah said. “The Countess spoke to every student which made them feel very special.”
Date:Saturday November 3 2007 Once more, Colchester face a side next to them in the Championship. But it`s hardly anything like the champagne tie in which Leicester nearly grabbed an historic victory against Chelsea on Wednesday in the Cup. After an ambivalent response to the lost of Gary Megson to Bolton last week (he came from Nottingham Forest), Leicester are really looking to the future. Colchester, after a week of rest and countless interviews in which the players are declaring themselves unhappy with recent results, will want to go for all three points in front of the sky cameras this evening. 'A result on Saturday could be the start of a run for us. I came down here last season with Birmingham and there was a lot of publicity surrounding Colchester and how they had done at home,' he said. 'We knew that it was going to be a tough game and although Colchester shaded the first half, we got an equaliser I thought we deserved.' - Steven Clemence, the Brum skipper, in today's U's review, on why a win would be so gppd for his team. Colchester United will be without Teddy Sheringham, who is suspended, although Ja,ie Guy, Bela Balugh and Kevin Watson are all expeted to be ivolved following injury. Dean Gerken is ready to step up if Aidan Davison (shoulder)does not recover. Mark Yeates - wil be looking to make amends for last season's showing on loan at Leicster, where he scored just once and was a disapointment, and show the fans the real side of Colchester's biggest goal threat this season. Leicester's Levi Porter suffered a knee injury against Chelsea - he was streached ouf in the game's closing stages - and so is out, but Collins John returns ( after being cup-tied). Iian Hume, thier danger-man striker, is also ruled out. Collins John - a coup for Licester on loan from Fulham, although yet to hit top form. Will come good, probably, and be recalled to the Premier League. Leicester have not won in thier last two away games,and gone four without a draw, so a win could be on the cards for the U's! Colchester face Plymouyth and Watford next. Date:Saturday November 3 2007 New Behaviour Rules For Referees In 2016/17 (Wednesday July 20 2016) Who Has The Highest Ever Home Attendance?

Saorview users urged to retune or risk losing television service Change by digital television provider to allow introduction of HD by RTÉ Broadcaster Gay Byrne and Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte launching Saorview last year. Photograph: Cyril Byrne / The Irish Times Over 600,000 Saorview consumers have been urged to retune their set-top boxes and digital televisions or risk losing their television service. The request to householders comes a year after RTÉ’s analogue signal was switched off and replaced by free digital terrestrial television service Saorview The change required by viewers of the State’s free television service is to allow the introduction of high definition by RTÉ in the New Year. Document: Saorview rescanning guide Saorview has said while viewers will not notice any significant change to the programme guide or additional channels, a failure to rescan will result in eventual loss of service. “Your box isn’t smart enough to know where to find that channel itself. By doing a simple retune you will tell your box to go and look for the new channel,” Saorview digital reception manager Brian Geraghty said today. The rescan of the channels can be done from today and over the next three weeks. It will be “very straightforward” for most people and takes “five minutes”, he said. He noted that a similar channel tune was something many people would have done when installing the service last year. They should pick up the Saorview remote control for the set-top box or television, go to the installation menu and do a rescan or retune, he told RTÉ Radio. Even consumers without high definition televisions will need to carry out the rescan, he said. Consumers have about three weeks to scan their boxes so there is “no panic” Mr Geraghty said. He said the Saorview switch-over from analogue had been a “huge success” with over 600,000 households using it in at least one room.

You are here Dottin’s fiver puts Windies 1-0 up EAST LONDON—Hayley Matthews and Britney Cooper fashioned half-centuries but it was Deandra Dottin’s five-wicket haul which undermined South Africa Women and fired West Indies Women to a 16-run victory in the opening One-Day International here yesterday. Opting to bat first at Buffalo Park, the Caribbean side rattled up 214 for seven off their 50 overs with opener Matthews hitting 56 and middle order batsman Britney Cooper finishing unbeaten on 55. Dottin lay the groundwork for her fine all-rounder performance with a busy 28 while Shemaine Campbell chipped in with 26. Leg-spinner Dane van Niekerk (2-25), seamer Shabnim Ismail (2-40) and leg-spinner Sune Luus (2-50) all finished with two wickets each.In reply, the hosts were cruising at 82 for two in the 23rd over until Dottin intervened with a devastating spell of five for 34 to send the innings crashing to 198 all out off 48.5 overs. Marizanne Kapp stroked 69 not out, Trisha Chetty struck 47 and Shabnim Ismail chipped in with 34, but South Africa failed to recover enough for the damage done by Dottin. Leg-spinner Shaquana Quintyne (2-15) and off-spinner Anisa Mohammed (2-36) both weighed in with crucial wickets. The victory was not only vital for the series lead but it brought West Indies Women two vital points in the ICC Championship. Matthews gave West Indies Women impetus at the top of the order, putting on 27 for the first wicket with Quintyne (18), 30 for the second wicket with captain Stafanie Taylor (13) before adding 56 for the third wicket with Dottin. The 17-year-old Matthews faced 68 balls and counted eight fours while Dottin hit four fours in a 43-ball innings. Both fell in the space of 11 deliveries to Luus as West Indies Women lost four wickets for 18 runs during the middle stages of the innings, to slip to 131 for five in the 31st over. However, Cooper led the revival, lashing six fours and a six in an attractive 66-ball cameo in a 48-run, sixth wicket stand with Campbelle. Chetty then provided stability at the top of the order, putting on 33 for the first wicket with Laura Wolvaardt (10) and a further 33 for the third wicket with Kapp. The veteran Chetty faced 67 balls and counted three fours while Kapp hammered four fours and a six off 63 deliveries. Dottin started her rout when she bowled Chetty in the 23rd over and her dismissal triggered a slide where five wickets tumbled for 38 runs. Tottering on 120 for seven in the 33rd over, Kapp and Ismail then hauled the hosts back into the contest with a brilliant 70-run stand before Quintyne claimed Ismail in the 48th over and Dottin quickly mopped up the last two wickets.

As crews unload 35 trucks filled with video screens, fog machines, lights, an extendable stage with conveyor belt, mock-up gates of Neverland Ranch, enormous penny loafers, and a giant white glove for the Cirque du Soleil traveling show Michael Jackson: Immortal at Philips Arena from June 29-July 1, the Hagedorn Foundation Gallery across town will be hanging photographs taken by Jackson's personal photographer Todd Gray for a very different sort of show about Jackson called The Gray Room, opening July 6. When considered side by side three years after the King of Pop's sudden death, the unrelated shows reveal the strange dichotomy that made Jackson such a fascinating public figure. "To me, there were two Michaels," says Gray from his home in Los Angeles. "He was this very fierce, immensely creative, sharply focused performer. But when he didn't have a mic in his hand or there wasn't a camera rolling, he was very quiet, very demure and really like a fun-loving man-child." It's the second Michael that's the focus of Gray's exhibition and his one-man autobiographical performance piece Caliban in the Mirror to be performed in the gallery July 13. Jackson and Gray first met at various awards ceremonies and concerts in the mid '70s when Gray was an entertainment photographer assigned to cover such events. Jackson appreciated Gray unobtrusive presence, and eventually hired him as his personal photographer. Gray traveled with Jackson, followed him on tour, and photographed him at his home from 1979 to 1984. "He lived an unusually solitary, almost monk-like life because of his fame," says Gray. "Disney World would open at one in the morning just for him when we were in Florida. They would put the rides on, and he'd be the only one there." Gray's performance, an intensely personal work, reflects on his time with Jackson. "It talks about how I participated in the mythology as a co-conspirator in his image-making," he says. If the private, troubled, reclusive Michael is the center of Gray's show, then Michael the outrageous, over-the-top, ecstatic showman is certainly the focus of Cirque du Soleil's. "We're loading in the largest arena show in the world in a matter of eight hours," says artistic director Tara Young. Immortal is a giant, swiftly moving machine, traveling through two to three U.S. cities a week this summer before starting on a major European tour in October. "Over 200 people travel with us: cast and crew and management. ... It's a huge extravaganza, it's an event." Cirque's creative team held its initial brainstorming meetings at Neverland in 2010. The opening scene depicts the Neverland gates, and Jackson's famous "Giving Tree," a large tree on the estate where he wrote music, is a major set piece. The show uses 30 songs by Jackson along with Cirque du Soleil acrobatic performance, elaborate props and sets, to create a huge concert experience. "Michael Jackson is the heartbeat of our show," says Lee. "Though you don't see him, you feel his presence. ... When 'Smooth Criminal' starts, you see the audience of 10,000 people scream and lift out of their seats. It's a great feeling." Gray, who says he's made a conscious decision never to see Immortal, contends that his performance has a very different aim: to memorialize Michael as he knew him and to spark contemplation of the man himself in all his complexities. "What I'm hoping with my exhibition is not just to present Michael Jackson as another element of spectacle, but as someone we can think about in relationship to pop culture, American culture, black culture, African culture. We can look at the photographs and see how they reflect us at large."
Tuesday Apr 14, 2009 Wednesday Apr 23, 2008 By Charles Bell on Apr 23, 2008 This past week was the annual MySQL Users’ Conference. It was my fourth time attending the conference, my second as a MySQL-er, and my first as a Sun employee. The conference was very well attended with many more people than last year. Overall, I’d say it was a great success. I work on the Backup project for MySQL and I must say it was a very strange experience being in the spotlight of so much controversy concerning the announcement made about making some backup features enterprise only releases. While there was a lot of blogging expressing the general distaste for the suggestion of making some features of backup enterprise only (as opposed to free), most of these comments seemed to come from a relatively small number of people. I presented the Backup session and led the Birds of a Feather session on Backup. I must say that the sentiments of the bloggers was not represented in the audience of these sessions. I find it strange that the users present were not vocal on the subject. Indeed, most seemed to accept the announcement and others simply felt that the features being withheld for the enterprise customers were not that important to them. I find the dichotomy between the (negative) bloggers and the users attending the conference sessions on backup interesting. One could almost draw the conclusion that some of the bloggers are out of touch with the users they (seemingly) represent. Putting all the controversy aside, it was refreshing to hear from the users how pleased they were that a backup feature is now part of MySQL. The users I talked to who use the community edition of MySQL felt that they would likely use the backup feature frequently once it is released and looked forward to having a simple SQL-based backup utility. The enterprise users I talked to said they weren’t concerned over the announcement because they expect the backup tool to be a part of their current subscription once backup is released. If attendance is any measure, it was standing room only in the backup session making backup a popular feature for the next release of MySQL. So how did I cope with the controversy? I didn’t have to -- the users who attended my session made all of that go away. I listened to my users. I got their message loud and clear: they want backup and they like what they see. I think the one user said it best, “Having backup as part of MySQL will make my decision to base my business on MySQL a no brainer.” - Data Backup and Recovery for MySQL - a MySQL Time Machine is Born. - Sharing issues with keyboards and mice. - Overage Fee or Data Extortion? - Multilingual keyboards for laptops - Yes Virginia, there is broadband in rural America! - When good email goes bad - The 2008 MySQL Users' Conference - an Engineer's Perspective
> What about some C dynamically loaded function in which I could call new connection for each thread? Past discussion here suggests that the backends are strictly single threaded. While you might be able to use multiple threads - I don't know - I expect you'd need to protect all SPI access by a lock that serialized everything anyway. Doing it externally with a script / program that uses multiple connections might just be the way. Unfortunately that means that you don't get a single consistent snapshot - each connection will have its own, potentially different, view of the database state. A possible use for read only transactions being able to share a snapshot came up in discussion a few weeks ago. I guess this is another one. In response to pgsql-general by date \|Next:\|\|From: A.

As LSU prepares to begin spring practice March 14, GeauxTigerNation will take daily looks at aspects of the spring camp. This is the fifth in the series: BATON ROUGE, La. -- With LSU bringing in a new offensive coordinator in Cam Cameron, the question is, how will it affect the offense? Over the years, Tigers teams under Les Miles have had strikingly similar offensive identities. The power running game has been a staple. The downfield passing game has usually been there. Since defensive coordinator John Chavis brought a dominant defense to town in 2009, the willingness to play conservatively and exchange field position with superior special teams has been part of the identity. With Cameron and his Air Coryell background things might be tweaked. Cameron made his name as the offensive guru of the San Diego Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens and served as head coach of the Miami Dolphins and Indiana University. Here are some common threads that might continue to be traits of his offense at LSU: Quarterback development: Under Cameron, quarterbacks have generally flourished. When he was offensive coordinator with the Washington Redskins, Gus Frerotte made his only Pro Bowl appearance. As head coach at Indiana, he tutored future NFL wide receiver Antwaan Randle-El into one of the all-time great dual-threat college quarterbacks. At San Diego, he guided Drew Brees into stardom before Brees left for New Orleans, then helped Philip Rivers peak. At Baltimore, he coached Joe Flacco. Does this mean he'll turn Zach Mettenberger from an ordinary quarterback to an All-SEC candidate? It likely depends on how quick a study Mettenberger can be. Cameron will be the fifth offensive coordinator of Mettenberger's college career. In a Cameron offense, the tight end is a passing game weapon. That hasn't been the case in recent years at LSU. In 2012, the tight end was almost non-existent in the passing game with just 16 combined receptions. Before that, DeAngelo Peterson had a couple of seasons of underwhelming production, especially considering he was a converted wide receiver. One has to go back to Richard Dickson to find the last time the Tigers had a tight end productive in the passing game. Will it happen this year? Logan Stokes, a junior college transfer, was underused in a junior college offense that struggled in the passing game. Scouts, however, like his agility and ball skills. Dickson's younger brother, Travis Dickson, made some catches in limited opportunities last season. DeSean Smith, a true freshman who is a true hybrid in the Gates mold, won't arrive until after the spring semester. Until then, it'll be interesting to see how the current tight ends get used in the passing game. Productive, versatile backs: The irony of Cameron's firing from the Ravens was that he was criticized for not getting the ball to Ray Rice enough. One of the traits of Cameron offenses has been consistently productive play from his running backs. Both LaDainian Tomlinson and Rice were not only productive rushers, but prolific pass catchers under Cameron. Tomlinson had a 100-catch season in 2003. Rice had just under 70 catches a season in his last four Ravens seasons. Even with Randle-El dominating the offense at Indiana, Levron Williams had a 1,401-yard rushing season in 2001. And as bad as the Miami Dolphins were in Cameron's one season as head coach, Ronnie Brown had an outstanding season. So what does it mean for the run-heavy Tigers? Probably not much, considering the Miles Tigers have always demanded extraordinary running back production. If there's one tweak, it'll be with more production from backs in the passing game. A year ago, LSU running backs accounted for 35 pass receptions (38 when figuring in three catches by fullback J.C. Copleand). Expect that number to go up. When healthy, Alfred Blue showed good ball skills last season, catching seven passes before injury ended his season in the third game. Look for Blue to be used out of the backfield this season.
Beaufort has existed as a community for a long time. It is a growing place. People with pups will find a peaceful and convenient place to perhaps put down some roots. It is out in the country but still close enough on the highway to easily access larger communities such as Saint Louis and Saint Charles. No veterinarian has set up shop here yet. Dozens of possibilities for veterinary care are located just a short drive in towns like Union, Washington, and Sullivan. Beaufort lacks a business district and is primarily residential. Travelers to Beaufort will find lodging in Union, just twelve miles east. The Super 8 on East Main Street welcomes guests traveling with a canine friend. The motel accepts as many as two dogs of no more than fifty pounds for an additional charge of $15 per dog per night. Those folks who look for some outdoor experience with their pup may enjoy camping at Robertsville State Park. This state park is only twenty-three miles east of Beaufort. It has a campground which includes basic and electric campsites. Two dedicated trails are in this park. Spice Brush Trail is 0.8 miles long and is of moderate difficulty. Lost Hill Trail is 2.6 miles long. This trail connects Spice Brush Trail with the campgrounds. It, too, is of moderate difficulty and includes some steep grades. Missouri state parks allow dogs to camp and hike, but they must remain on-leash.

What's the Latest Development? An upcoming Museum of London exhibit featuring Elizabethan- and Jacobean-era jewelry won't be entirely off-limits to visitors' hands, thanks to Birmingham City College researchers. Using a scanner and a 3D printer, they created highly detailed replicas that will be displayed alongside the original works. Among these is the Ferlite watch, named after its creator and dating from around 1600. Its relatively advanced features -- including calendar and alarm functions -- have led researchers to dub it "the iPod of its day." What's the Big Idea? The items are part of the Cheapside Hoard collection, which was originally discovered in a London cellar just over 100 years ago. In addition to making 3D-printed replicas of the Ferlite watch available for public view, the team plans to use them to learn the jeweler's secrets. Team member Ann-Marie Carey says, "[W]e must look at the Elizabethan and Jacobean age as being just as advanced in some ways [as our civilization]. We fear some of these 400-year-old processes may now be lost to us." Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com

Twelve albums in, Pet Shop Boys have still managed to find new ways to innovate the sound of music. The more melancholic tone of their previous album, Elysium, is in sharp contrast to the dance-laden beats of Electric. Produced entirely by Stuart Price (known for his work on Confessions on a Dance Floor), the motif of Electric is decidedly feel good. Thus, in a time when things continue to seem hopeless and destitute (save for the impending birth of the Royal baby, I suppose), one can always rely on Pet Shop Boys to melt your cares away. "Axis," the ethereal opening track wastes no time in establishing both Stuart Price's and the Pet Shop Boys' unbridled penchant for creating the perfect blend of dance pop music. "Bolshy" favors a visceral, frenetic beat as Tennant croons, "There you are, pretending you're lonely/I don't believe you, don't know you could own me." Once again proving that Pet Shop Boys can mix pleasurable beats with lyrics of profundity, the next track, "Love Is A Bourgeois Construct," begins with symphonic notes that lead into a fanciful musical arrangement that affirms, "Love is a bourgeois construct, so I've given up the bourgeoisie." The following track, "Fluorescent," gives you the sweaty dance floor vibe you would expect from Les Rythmes Digitales. Perfect for a night of debauchery, this is easily single material--especially in Europe. Painting a portrait as only Tennant can, he sings, "You've been living in a looking glass scene/Since you were seventeen.../Brighter and brighter you burn/When you're in this mood, there's no return." Continuing the theme of the surreal, "Inside A Dream" begins serenely enough, segueing into a Danceteria-friendly sound. One of the most addictive songs on Electric, it echoes the feel of a Duran Duran-Les Rythmes Digitales mash-up. The sardonically titled "The Last to Die" (perhaps a subconscious nod to their own consistent return to the music world regardless of age)--a Bruce Springsteen cover--fits in quite nicely with the rest of their canon of work; in fact, one might never be able to guess Springsteen was the one to have originally sung it. "Shouting in the Evening" is the boldest track on the album in terms of experimentation. Taking their sound to a more German industrial level, Tennant's voice is manipulated to sound more robotic and scrambled. "Thursday" featuring Example slows down the tempo to a more laidback tone, with lyrics that mimic the nature of "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" off of Please. Lowe lends the stoic backing vocals of "Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday" in a similar intonation as "What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?" "Vocal," the second single from the album, expresses a jubilance and desire to express oneself. Tennant assures, "Anything I wanna say out loud will be sung" as a 90s-esque dance background plays. It is the ideal point on which to end Electric, keeping it short and sweet--just the way they used to on classic albums of the 80s. And so, the old adage, "Quality, not quantity" is once again proven.

View more workwear supplies... Shirts Buying Guide When buying work shirts there are some things to consider, firstly the type of job you do will have a big impact on your selection; workers who work in offices for example would go for a regular dress shirt where as this may not be suitable for some work types. We have put together these quick guides to help you choose the perfect shirt first time around. Perhaps most important of all is safety; EN or (European Normalisation) standards are set out to protect workers in many situations were safety measures are required. For example a road worker are required to wear high visibility clothing to allow them to be seen more easily, the EN number for high visibility protective clothing such as shirts is EN371. Many other work types also have varying EN numbers pertaining to each type of potential hazard for your work type, if you are unsure of the safety regulations and requirements for personal protective equipment in the workplace then speak to your employer who should be able to give you the exact requirements for your particular trade. Alternatively you can view our Shop by EN Spec guide on the homepage; this is to help you identify the work clothing you need to meet the standards. Sizing and Fitting Bear in mind that not all manufacturers will make identically sized garments such as; Dickies work shirts may differ in size say to that of a Lee Cooper work shirt of the same technical size. This brand knowledge can be tricky if you have never bought a particular brand before, our staff are familiar with all the brands we carry and have an inside knowledge of the correct fitting for your body type; if you need any help drop us an email or ring for assistance. The fitting of a work shirt can also vary where some are made to be worn outside the trousers and some inside the trousers, Consider these things before you buy; do you require a short or long sleeved shirt, with or without additional pockets or any special features. Colour and Uniformity If you require your shirt to match your company colours or uniform then you should find a good choice here at Mammoth. We offer many colours shapes and styles and often we can match work shirts, polo's, trousers and jackets identically to produce colour coordinated uniforms. This option if available will be visible on each product description or you can email us your requests with a quick description of what you need and we will get right back to you. Price and Practicality To get the most from your shirt you should ensure that its practical for your work type and fit for purpose, small details such as a pen holder or mobile phone pocket should be considered as well as. The fitting of your shirt could be a baggy style or a tight fitting one; loose clothing can be caught in machinery so would be deemed unsafe in some environments. Price is always a factor when buying anything so to get the most from your money don't just choose the cheapest option, think of the long term; a work shirt that costs a little more may last 3 times longer than the cheaper alternative, fabrics like cotton tend to wear easier so look into what fabric is best suited to the environment.
While out on the Harajuku street, we came upon these two guys whose street styles caught our attention. They are Shunya and Raw, who we often feature on our snaps. At the left, Shunya – a 19-year-old student – is sporting a dapper-and-punk infused style, featuring a brown plaid coat from Giorgio Armani, a Ralph Lauren crisp white button down shirt, and handmade black skinny jeans with patches and distressed details. He wore a black suede pocket vest over his upper pieces, styled it with a Gucci printed necktie, and sported black Dr. Martens mid-calf lace-up boots. His accesories – some from Alexander McQueen – include a black beret, silver hoop earrings, a silver flower ring, and a studded gemstone ring. Shunya’s favorite fashion label is Alexander McQueen and he is active on Instagram. Meanwhile, Raw – a Bunka fashion college student – is sporting an eclectic vintage style which consists of an oversized coat, worn over a white t-shirt layered with an orange button down shirt. Cuffed denim pants, white socks, black wingtip lace-up loafers and a black newsboy cap completed his outfit. For a dash of punk, he sported chunky silver knuckle rings from Tokyo Human Experiments. Dog Harajuku is Raw’s favorite brand, and he likes the music of Deformed Nippon. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram. Click on any photo to enlarge it.

It's was a cool, cloudy morning. I woke up and lit some new candles to make things cozy as I got my first cup of coffee. After I put my Christmas away, I decided to leave out some snowmen and winter greenery at least for the next few weeks! While I really like for there to be less clutter and to reorganize things at the beginning of the year, I think it's fun to have out some cute cold weather decor to brighten the house on these dark days. I really love this picture that my hubby and I took of us 3 years ago on a very snowy day! I keep it in this frame my parents gave us a couple of years ago and put it out every winter! I decorated my large shelves that I usually have trouble knowing what to fill with. They're so tall and deep and, well, awkward! I kept things fun and simple here, and I like how it's turned out. I just need a little candle to bring life to my old lantern! This is one of my favorite pillows! With red and cream plaid and homemade looking snowmen, it's just so country cozy! It's like the sweet snowmen are giving a winter greeting to those in the room! This pillow a Christmas gift from Mom a couple years ago. You know, I welcome every change of season and each new holiday as they come. Like I've shared before, I look for and find the joy in them all! I know that January in my part of the country isn't a time to be outside to garden, grill, or relax on the patio, so I think it's that much more important to keep inside my home a place where we love being. Just with the help of a few simple things like having yummy candles lit, the fireplace cracklin, new books on hand to read and a well stocked pantry for new recipes or a batch of cookies on the fly, it's easy to be inside!!! One of my favorite things about winter is that it's quite okay to have sparkly lights here and there to give a warm glow inside the house. I decided to keep out this sparkly sprig that's so pretty, especially at night! Another favorite photo of us with our best friends in front of the Louvre in Paris! I think it's appropriate to keep in this Parisian frame by the Eiffel Tower. Oh! How I wish to go back some day.... Underneath the shelving I keep a big basket --I love this basket!--with snugly throws and blankets in year round. We love curling up around here under soft throws, and we have them everywhere! I have my favorite one kept on the couch. This new grey one is Mr. Cozy's and it's incredibly soft!! (Haha, we "claim" certain ones as our own, although I did give him this one!) As you may remember, the quilt here is a family heirloom. :) Last night for supper I made some delicious chicken & coconut curry filled with tender chicken breasts, sweet basil, red and orange bell pepper and broccoli. We LOVE Thai food, and this is one of our favorites. I thought I'd surprised my husband by making it since I rarely cook Thai at home. This recipe is extra simple because it uses ready made red curry paste that you can find any almost any grocery in the Asian food. This mixed with succulent (light) coconut milk makes a creamy base for this recipe. Last night on Facebook I mentioned that I was cooking it and posted a picture and there was quite a response for the recipe. Because this picture was a quick one taken with my phone, it's not "styled" the way I like to present my food on the blog, but I want to share with recipe with you all anyways! This is a wonderfully easy recipe for anyone who loves Chinese or Thai food! ( I have another Thai recipe, Thai Chicken & Mango Curry, that I posted a while back that you should check out, too!) Perfect on a winter night, we ate a bowl of this over some whole grain Jasmine rice to satisfy our body and give a little comfort to the soul. :) Chicken Coconut Curry or Kai Kang Dang Slightly adapted from Allrecipes.com 1 can coconut milk 1 heaping Tbsp. red curry paste 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in 1 in. pieces 2-3 Tbsp. fish sauce 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar 1/3 c. Red Onion, sliced thinly 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped 1/2 Orange or Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped 1 1/2 c. ( or 1 medium head) Broccoli 3/4 c. Fresh Basil Leaves, torn 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper Squeeze of 1/2 Lime Before I proceed with the recipe, note a few things: You can add more coconut milk if you want more soup to your curry. If you do this, you'll probably want to add more curry paste. Also, I added a few dashes of reduced sodium soy sauce and didn't put in quite as much brown sugar. Add whatever vegetable you love in this kind of food, like carrots, snow peas or bamboo shoots. Feel free to play around with the recipe like I do. Bring 1/4 can of the coconut milk to a simmer and whisk in the red curry paste in a heavy bottomed pot. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped chicken and cook until slightly golden or at least cooked just on the outside, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rest of the coconut milk,vegetables, fish sauce, sugar, cayenne pepper and basil leaves. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Pour lime juice over the dish and remove from heat. Serve warm over rice. Deliciousness! I'm linking up with friends at:
SAN FRANCISCO -- The 25,000 shimmering lights that nightly transform the Bay Bridge into a glowing white light sculpture are going to stick around. Organizers of the world's largest light sculpture will announce Wednesday a plan to raise $12 million in donations and to secure permits to shine on another 10 years, from 2016 to 2026. The LED lights were installed on bridge cables one year ago as part of what was supposed to be a two-year run of flickering, abstract light patterns on the western span. Caltrans says the lights must be removed in March 2015, the end of the two years, so crews can paint the bridge for routine maintenance. And leaders of the Bay Lights project say they will raise $12 million and get the necessary government permits for a second, longer act. "Bay Lights has raised the bar worldwide on what can be accomplished with art in large public places," said Ben Davis, a board member with Illuminate the Arts, the nonprofit doing the project. "It has shown that a project can be done on this scale and bring the community together." Bay Lights picked Wednesday as its day for the announcement because it's the one-year anniversary of the debut. The sculpture will go dark from 7 to 7:10 p.m. Thursday as a reminder of the loss there would be if the lights disappear. The light sculpture has become a familiar sight, and one of the must-see things to take in while in the city. The lights have added more luster to the waterfront as a place to visit, walk and experience the sights and sounds of San Francisco Bay, say restaurant managers and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce officials. The lights have bumped up business by 10 percent at the Waterbar restaurant along the Embarcadero, said Peter Sittnick, managing partner of the restaurant. The rush hour for dinner has expanded because more patrons arrive earlier or later than normal to savor the light patterns bathing the bridge and bay, he said. "Of course I'm happy with a 10 percent increase, but it goes beyond that," he said. "You can tell from people's faces and their taking photos of the lights that they are enjoying themselves." While no studies have been done to pinpoint the economic value of the light sculpture, the sculpture has enhanced the waterfront, said Gwen Oldham, a spokeswoman for the chamber of commerce. The artist behind the project said he thinks the ever-changing light patterns will stand up to another 10 years of public scrutiny. Leo Villareal, a New Yorker who used to live in Silicon Valley, said he was inspired by the energy of the waves, tides, fog, wind, fish, boats on the bay, and the cars and trucks. "It's very open-ended, and people have very personal reactions to it." Villareal said he is confident the project will win another 10 years because of the experience gained in planning, funding and securing permits the first time around. "It took an enormous amount of planning," he said. "Yes. I think it will be easier this time." Caltrans and other agencies with jurisdiction over the bay and the Bay Bridge must approve permits to put back the sculpture. Caltrans officials had no immediate response on the new plan. Davis said the wiring system can be put back in 2016, although newer and tougher LED bulbs will be installed to withstand the harsh bay weather. Some of the bulbs went dark last year. He said his group plans to have the light sculpture back in action in early 2016 when the Bay Area will host the 50th Superbowl at the 49ers' new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. "It's a good opportunity to celebrate our region," he said.
responsible for introducing Justin Bieber to super-stardom after discovering the young talent on YouTube. But now the mentor of a troublesome teen diva has confessed his understudy needs to mature. Justin has been criticised for his wild behaviour as those close to him were concerned he was going off the rails after a string of controversial incidents in recent months. Usher appeared on chat show The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday [Tues] when he was asked about the 19-year-old popstar. Ellen approached the potentially awkward topic by saying: “Can we talk about young Justin Bieber for a second? “Justin who is you know, I love him. He’s been here many times. We had him on the show - first.” Usher – ever the humble talent spotter – quickly added: “I brought him here first.” Ellen continued: “Obviously we’ve been with him the whole way. He seems to be um, he’s young.” The 34-year-old agreed and admitted: “Key word, you started with 'young'. “And I think all of us in some way have humble beginnings that pan out to be incredible and we hope that in his transition - as friends and family who has helped him be who he is - that he’ll continue to just mature. "But you know in this days age of social media there is no privacy and that kind of trail and elimination period is kind of done in front of a camera.” User (Usher, yeah man) kept rambling: “It’s been done in many, many other celebrities. They are product of it and some come out bad and some come out good. “I am hoping for the best. I don’t look at as a negative though. I look at it as a teenager.” He sympathised: “[Justin is] a teenager having to live his life in front of a camera." The Let It Burn singer explained he still keeps in touch with Biebs despite their busy schedules. “Obviously when I can be of help I do so. Reach out and stay connected,” he revealed. Justin is currently being investigated for reckless driving after complaints about alleged speeding in the Los Angeles gated community where he lives. The twig-armed popstar allegedly drove his white Ferrari at freeway speeds in a 25 mph zone, a sheriff's spokesman said. A source close to the situation insists that Justin WASN'T behind the wheel and his friend was loaning his car. It wouldn't be the first time an incident like this has occurred after pal Lil Twist was involved a number of accidents earlier this year. Prosecutors are also looking at whether to charge Bieber for battery in a separate incident involving a neighbour, who complained the pop-star attacked and threatened him. It's not the only bit of drama he's creating around his home. Legal documents obtained by TMZ show Bieber’s plans to stick a ban on his house guests talking about his parties. The strict guest code says anyone who steps foot into his $6.5million mansion in Los Angeles must sign a contract before entering the seven-bedroom home. The document is entitled a Liability Waiver and Release, which basically bans anyone from taking fancy Instagrams of his crib, blogging about their amazing experience or tweeting about his décor etc. Add to this his split from on-off uber-gorge girlfriend Selena Gomez , he had over £215,000 in takings stolen from a recent performance and was booed during his acceptance speech at the Billboard Music Awards. It's no wonder he goes a little crazy every now and again.

- "We are terribly saddened by the incident," the store's operating company said Friday - The shooting occurred in Old Bridge, in central New Jersey, about 30 miles south of Newark - "I believe everyone in the store was a target," said official, who said gunman fired 16 rounds - N.J. transit agency says some bus parking lots remain closed because of police activity A 23-year-old gunman killed two co-workers early Friday at a Pathmark supermarket in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and then shot himself to death, Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan said. The shooter wielded an AK-47 assault rifle and a handgun, and was carrying multiple ammunition magazines, he added. "I believe everyone in the store was a target," said Kaplan, who noted that the gunman fired 16 rounds during his attack. The gunman killed an 18-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, and may have opened fire just before he walked into the store, he said, citing broken glass in front. There were between 12 and 14 night shift workers in the store, Kaplan said. The man opened fire around 4 a.m. CNN affiliate WABC broadcast aerial footage of at least three police cruisers in front of the supermarket, while several people gathered outside an adjacent restaurant. "We are terribly saddened by the incident at our Old Bridge Pathmark store this morning," The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. said in a statement. "We express our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and our appreciation to local law enforcement." NJ Transit reported that parking lots for its buses remain closed on the northbound side of route 9 in Old Bridge because of police activity. Old Bridge is in central New Jersey, roughly 30 miles south of Newark.

I tried from various locations (work, home) and could not connect 23 Feb 2006 I am having no success in trying to use IRDA on my C3100 under Cacko 1.23. With my "old" C760 with cacko 1.22b beaming files (addresses, meetings) works fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anything changed concerning with IR from 1.22 to 1.23? Or perhaps since the hardware is different, a different /etc/irda.conf file is necessary? Any hints welcome 14 Nov 2005 So I have a Sl-760 and a Pretec wlan card (Cacko rom). The wlan works fine (even for my WPA enabled setup at home), but the time I get out of being online appears to be very short. At max I can get something like 30 min without the battery running out. Is there any way to improve this? Do the wlan drivers support any energy saving mode. If so how is this enabled? Bandwidth is not normally the problem. I mainly want to read my mail and surf the web, which is sufficiently fast in most cases. But the battery life is so short being online, I hardly do it without having my power adapter with me, which is a bit odd So what do you do to improve the battery life while being online? Do you have similar experiences? Any clues welcome, 16 Sep 2005 I just uploaded two packages to the Cacko feed upload. 1. ed. ed is the classic Unix line editor. While proably nobody will use it as his/her main editor, it still is useful in scripts (Sources originally from www.gnu.org) 2. rlrp. Rlpr is an implementation of lpr the Unix line printer. It allows you to print to remote printers using the lpr protocol. In contrast to standard lpr you can print directly to a printer queue wihtout having to setup an /etc/printcap file. Thus you can do things like rlpr [email protected] myfile.txt. Of course your printer has to understand the file format you are sending, as rlpr does not convert anything. Unfortunately, printing is not a strong point of the Z, but I just learnt that TextMaker, the wordprocessor, allows printing via lpr. So now with rlpr and TextMaker, you should be able to print out your documents. If you want to try them now, you can download them from my web page at www.andrew.maier.name/zaurus/ 12 Sep 2005 this evening I will start toto take Japanese lessons, and I was wondering if and how to use my Sl-760 for this. Does anyone have recommendations on what to install. In addition I have a few questions, before I dig any deeper: 1) Does it make sense to install the Cacko Japanese ROM? Specifically I read that the ctrl alt mapping is turned off for the Japanese rom, Does that mean I won't have any ctrl keys. I heavily rely on the ctrl key in the terminal app. 2.) I read in the excellent Cacko Japanese Howto (http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko-jp-howto.html) that I can install several different input methods. Are these inputmethods self explanatory, or is there some knowledge necessary and if so where can I find some docs? 3) What Kana and Kanji training tools are there around. Any recommendations? 23 Jul 2008 - 2:14 Other users have left no comments for andrewmaier. There are no friends to display. \|Lo-Fi Version\|\|Time is now: 18th December 2013 - 08:47 PM\|
Rick Scott's New Platform: Dubstep The "dub" in dubstep doesn't stand for dubious. The title of this posting is nearly as misleading as the title of Team Jaguar's new mixtape, Rick Scott Loves Dubstep. First of all, the Florida governor is less concerned about beats per minute than he is about bludgeoning public transportation money. Also, he didn't even get Justin Bieber to perform at his inauguration bash in January. With a Photoshop job that's almost as impressive as the one we've gotten oodles of mileage out of featuring Charlie Crist, the appeal of Rick Scott Loves Dubstep goes well beyond the 21:21 amalgam of burly beats.

Chase Headley's grand slam in the seventh inning put the game out of reach for Arizona, as the San Diego Padres took the rubber match of a three-game set, defeating the Diamondbacks 8-2. Patrick Corbin (5-7) took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. While in the game, he received just one run of support, which came in the third inning off an RBI-groundout from Jason Kubel. With the St. Louis Cardinals winning earlier on Sunday, the loss puts the Diamondbacks 6 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot. Andrew Werner (2-1) got the win and posted his fourth straight quality outing. He pitched 6 1/3 solid innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out six. Carlos Quentin and Chris Denorfia each hit solo homers and scored two runs apiece for the Padres, who have won four of their last five games. The Padres scored first, bringing home two runs in the second inning. Quentin led the inning off with a double and following a walk to Jesus Guzman, Cameron Maybin ripped a double to left to score Quentin. Guzman advanced to third and scored on an Andy Parrino sacrifice fly. Headley came to the plate in the seventh with the bases loaded after Denorfia reached on an error in between walks issued to John Baker and Logan Forsythe. Headley cleared the bases with a homer to right field and Quentin followed with a home run of his own to left to make the score 8-1. Anthony Bass came on to pitch the final frame for San Diego and allowed the D'Backs to manufacture a run before recording the last out. He and gave up a base hit to Montero to start the inning then issued a walk to Chris Johnson before John McDonald moved Montero to third on a ground ball force out at second base. Gerardo Parra then grounded out, moving Montero across home plate for Arizona's second run. The Padres are 18-7 at Petco Park since 7/16 ... Headley hit his third home run of the series and his 27th of the season ...Denorfia extended his hitting streak to 10 games ... Sunday's decision clinched the season series for San Diego.
You probably noticed that this sketch looks a lot like a rendering that I already posted (which is now in the header). This was one of the quick sketches leading up to the rendering. One element in this one that I like is the little rear fender integrated into the frame. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be molded into the frame; maybe it could just be a secondary part that continues the form. An integrated fender like this could provide minimal protection from water on the road and could possibly improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike. Maybe it would not really be a marketable feature on a high-end road bike, but I could see it working on an upscale city bike. In that case the fender could extend further and include a rear rack. I’ll sketch it out and post the idea later. Stay tuned.

Lie on your back with your palms down and hands underneath your behind. Crunch up and hold your upper abdominal muscles tight so that your shoulder blades are off the ground. Lift your legs about 2 inches off the ground. Keeping abs tight and chin up, breathe slowly and rhythmically as you lift your legs through a count of 10 seconds. Hold and squeeze at the maximum tension point for 2 seconds. Lower legs down through a count of 10 seconds. Repeat three times without resting. Exhale on the lift and inhale on the release. If this is your first time exercising, go slowly, review the exercise before beginning it and pay attention to your form.
Today is Saturday, I usually make the coffee pot before I head off to dreamland. And my husband plugs it in hen he gets up. Well, this morning much to my horror!! The coffee pot decided to die right along with the power supply on my computer....lol ( So it's off to Bi Mart ( a store here in the Pacific Northwest) to get a new coffee maker. I think I did good, I actually smiled at someone and haven't even had my coffee yet. Usually the family doesn't even look at me until I have had at least one cup of rocket fuel. My husband took me to get a nice large cup from one of the local roadside coffee huts before we headed back home. So now I have a nicely brewed pot of coffee in the kitchen, no computer. And I have decided since my CPU is in the hospital, I am going to re-sand my desk and reapply a new layer of clear coat for it's homecoming next week.
It was only a smattering of plays on a rainy August night in Chicago in a game that didn't count, but Broncos running back Willis McGahee said it's a sign of things to come. "If you think about it, you have Peyton Manning and you have this offense that is a running offense," McGahee said. "You have Peyton Manning throwing the ball when he wants to and he has a run game when he needs it. That's a lot for a defense to think about." In the era of B.M. — Before Manning — or at least in the season before Manning's arrival in Denver, the Broncos tied for the NFL lead in rushing attempts (546) and led the league in rushing with 2,632 yards. The bulk of that damage to defenses came from an option-based offense built for Tim Tebow. But the starting offense's cameo Thursday night at Soldier Field was enough to see that Manning's golden arm won't be used to toss all of the running plays out of the playbook. The Broncos rushed for 156 yards in their 31-3 preseason victory over the Bears. And while the sloppy track had something to do with that, the Broncos' offensive attitude played a role too. "If you make people respect the run, it gives you options," McGahee said. "(Manning) gives you all those options anyway, but if we have that running mentality, it's hard for defenses to come after him and hard for them to predict what we'll do." In Manning's 12 snaps Thursday, including one offensive penalty, the Broncos showed plenty of balance. They lined up in heavier formations — two tight ends or two backs — six times and lined up with three wide receivers six times. Out of the heavier formations, the Broncos threw the ball three times and ran the ball three times. By the time the game was over and all four Denver quarterbacks had taken snaps, the Broncos had run the ball 37 times and thrown it 33 times. "You're always looking for balance," said offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, framing the Broncos' long-term plan. "Obviously, with Peyton, with the amount of information he can digest, it gives you options to have a lot of things you can go to. The more options you have, the more versatility you have, the more difficult you are to defend." By the time the Broncos have played their way through the 2012 season, the ultimate goal may be more of a blend between the pound-it-out style of 2011 and all that Manning brings to the passing game. It was something featured early on in Manning's tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. Edgerrin James led the NFL in rushing in 1999 and 2000 — Manning's second and third seasons in the league — and the Colts ranked seventh in the league in rushing in 2001. But as Manning progressed in his career, and as free agency eroded the Indianapolis roster, the Colts leaned on the future Hall of Famer more and more. After their seventh-place finish in league rushing, the Colts didn't finish higher than 15th in rushing in Manning's next nine seasons behind center. And in Manning's last three seasons as a starter in Indianapolis, the Colts ranked 31st, 32nd and 29th in the 32-team league in rushing. "You always want to look at the defense and when they drop people into coverage, run the ball, and when they bring people up to stop the run, then maybe you get that opportunity for a big play," Manning said. "The more you can do, the more problems for a defense."
Did Taylor Swift Have Her Eye on Zayn Malik Before She Dated Harry Styles? Taylor Swift‘s romance with One Direction‘s Harry Styles imploded earlier this year. The relationship lasted, like, three months, cumulatively — but we’re still talking about it. The romance-gone-wrong has come back into the spotlight, as sources suggested that T. Swizzle had a crush on Styles’ 1D bandmate Zayn Malik before Haylor, as they were so lovingly referred to, began dating. Uh oh. Does Malik’s fiancée Perrie Edwards have to worry about T. Swizzle making another play for her man? Nah! Malik was never even interested in Swift to begin with and there was no chance of “Zaylor.” “When Zayn found out she was interested, he turned her down,” a source said. “That’s when she swooped in on Harry.” While it might be fun to think that Swift had her sights set on any member of 1D who would have her, the singer’s rep has shot the story down as untrue. Plus, Haylor always seemed destined for something, no matter how short. Swift and Styles reportedly had a fling earlier in 2012, which inspired her to pen her smash hit ‘I Knew You Were Trouble.’ Things heated up at the end of the year, when they were seen holding hands all over the place. Oh, Haylor, how we hardly knew ye.
Waste Not Want Not: City Living the Way to a Wealthier Nation In Green Metropolis, a new book that has been getting a lot of attention lately, cities are held up as models of environmental sustainability. While this may seem counterintuitive to some, residents of dense cities have a much smaller environmental impact that those living in suburban or rural areas. The fact is: city residents use less gasoline, electricity, water, and land than the average American. A city's small environmental footprint can be traced back to one characteristic: density. Density allows residents to travel shorter distances to their daily destinations, thereby using less energy. Because distances are shorter, it becomes possible (and pleasant) to walk or bike. Because of the higher concentration of people and jobs, mass transit becomes practical and efficient (and driving becomes less practical and efficient). Dense apartment buildings are less wasteful than suburban McMansions, which tend to use much more energy and water. Lastly, dense cities use much less land, bringing farms closer to the city center and allowing us to set aside more land for natural habitat and recreation. But in communities across the country, density is basically outlawed. In most cases, developers are only allowed to build single-family homes on large lots. Conservative pundits may argue that suburbanization is solely the reflection of individual choice, but in reality people don't have much of a choice--apartment buildings just aren't allowed by law in most communities. From an environmental perspective it is important that we are able to embrace density as the country continues to grow. Most of the buildings that will exist in 25 years haven't been built yet. If we continue to develop in the same wasteful way we will have to work all that much harder just to achieve the same standard of living. Put another way, if we can build more efficient communities--communities that use less energy and land--we will have much more wealth to devote to other things that make us happy and healthy. But how do we overcome the socially ingrained opposition to density? Or, to flip the question on its head, how do we challenge the idea that there is only one version of the American Dream, one that is surrounded by a white picket fence? We need only to think back to last year's presidential election, when Sarah Palin argued that small-town residents were the real Americans, while city dwellers on the coasts were perceived as some sort of alien species. In an interview, David Owen, the author of Green Metropolis, was asked how we can change the way Americans consume energy. Owen states that we will have to "make driving distasteful in one way or another" in order to get people to start taking public transit or their bike. But this is hardly a way to get people to support density. Since the automobile will be with us for a very long time to come, the important thing is to get people to choose to use the train or to walk to the store, even if they have a car available. Part of the trick will be to get people--especially families--back into cities where their carbon footprint will be smaller. Speaking about New York City, Kaid Benfield says that we must "address perceptions of inferior public school quality and a lack of public safety, which diminish the city's ability to attract and retain residents to its efficient lifestyle." Cities have been making progress on this front, New York City's crime rate is the lowest since records have been kept in the 1960's, but the perceptions remain (never mind that you are more likely to be killed in a car accident in Houston than murdered in New York City by someone you don't know). Over at the blog The Urbanophile, Aaron Renn says that the environmental argument will not be enough to shift population growth from suburbs into cities. "Much of the call to return to cities is based on doom and gloom. If we don't all radically change our lifestyles the planet will end or some such... we've got to take a different path to create a new, positive aspirational narrative about the good life in America, one based around urban living, that we can convince a large number of people to buy into." But cities have the deck stacked against them. The urban crime wave that began in the 1960's and culminated in the mid 1990's was largely the result of the nation's abysmal policies toward African-Americans--from slavery to segregation to racial discrimination--that set the stage for urban unrest. The same circumstances, coupled with massive federal investments in automobile infrastructure, led to white flight, depopulation, and the erosion of city tax bases. In addition, cities must contend with federal policies that favor the suburbs. Urban economist Ed Glaeser argues: "Cities shouldn't have to face a policy deck stacked against urban living. Urban firms and residents shouldn't have to pay a disproportionate share of the taxes needed to care for disadvantaged Americans. Suburbanites shouldn't get a free pass on the environmental damage created by a car-based lifestyle." Other federal policies, from the mortgage interest rate deduction to the imbalance between highway funding and mass transit funding, put cities at a distinct disadvantage. But despite these disadvantages, the country's most productive areas are in cities. Another strategy to reduce the country's excessive energy consumption is to make our new and existing suburbs more like cities. This means embracing the principles of smart growth and transit-oriented development. The key is to provide a variety of housing options, commercial space, and public amenities located around rapid transit stations. Directly adjacent to the transit station, densities are very high. But as you move away from the station, densities are gradually reduced. If you want a single-family home, you will have to trade off proximity to the transit station. But of course, cities and suburbs first have to reform their zoning laws to allow this type of development to occur, and federal transportation dollars have to be there to support the construction of rapid transit systems. But the gains in productivity and efficiency will be worth the effort. A less wasteful nation is a wealthier nation.
Ok, useful stuff. I read over http://www.parrotcode.org/todo and the stories page, but it still leaves me a little confused as to how I can dive in, etc. How does the development process work? How does one sign-up for work items? Or is it a "look I implemented this first" kind of thing? I understand the patch system, all that seems to make sense...the question is, who determines who does what, or what is a good idea or what should actually be included? Definitely I need to lurk a while and understand what is going on -- I just don't want to lurk forever and never figure the process out though, as it appears this may be the case. Thanks -- 'moose
"They've looked down our throats and up our arses and they haven't found anything," was Moses Obeid's angry reaction on being told that his family's reputation would damage a coal deal and that the other investors wanted them out. Mining magnate Travers Duncan told the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Monday that in 2010, when he was informed the family of controversial Labor MP Eddie Obeid had a 25 per cent shareholding in Cascade Coal, he wanted them out. The commission is inquiring into whether Cascade Coal was corruptly awarded a coal exploration licence in 2009 by the then NSW mining minister Ian Macdonald. The Obeid family and their associates bought up key farms in the Mount Penny area in advance of Mr Macdonald announcing that the area would be part of a coal tender. They also managed to negotiate a 25 per cent stake in the winning bidder Cascade Coal. Mr Duncan, who the commission has revealed dined regularly with Mr Macdonald throughout 2009, was one of a group of seven prominent businessmen who invested in Cascade Coal. Mr Duncan, 80, has denied receiving confidential government information from Mr Macdonald in relation to the tender. The commission has heard that Mr Duncan was "quite surprised" when he found that a third party had a 25 per cent stake in Cascade in 2009. He said that he was informed by either investment banker Richard Poole or fellow mining magnate John McGuigan, both of whom were major investors in Cascade Coal. However, Mr Duncan has claimed that it was not until early 2010 that he learned that the Obeids had the 25 per cent. "You've got to fix it," Mr Duncan said he told Mr Poole. "I don't wish to repeat the language," said Mr Duncan of Eddie Obeid's son Moses's expressed reluctance to leave the deal. "Why would we go? This is going to be a fortune," Mr Obeid is alleged to have said about the amount of coal that lay under their farms at Mount Penny. Mr Duncan said he told them they should go then and there or they would be left with nothing. "I will out-spend you and you [your shareholding] will be diluted," he threatened Moses Obeid. In February 2010, Mr Poole's investment bank Arthur Phillip prepared a document called Project Phoenix which was aimed at finding a way for White Energy, a public company which had five of the seven Cascade investors on its board, to buy Cascade. Part of that document referred to the "Sanitisation of Cascade" which was a code for getting rid of the Obeids in preparation for the sale. The proposed $500 million sale later collapsed after the Australian Stock Exchange made inquiries about the identity of some of the Cascade shareholders and a mysterious $28 million payment which has now been revealed to have been part of the Obeids' buyout. Mr Duncan will be followed in the witness box by fellow millionaire Brian Flannery. Mr Duncan and Mr Flannery made more than $500 million each in 2009 when they sold their mining company Felix Resources to a Chinese conglomerate.
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!" This was spoken by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in a 1959 speech to Western leaders, including Dwight D. Eisenhower . Khrushchev had been invited to speak as a sign of goodwill for new relations between the West and the Soviet Union . Unfortunately for Krushchev, his translator was unfamiliar with the Russian phrase "We will bury you", which in context means "We will outlive you", and translated it literally . With the political climate of the day, the Western leaders whom he was speaking to took this as a threat to their countries and democracy Khrushchev later clarified his translator's error by stating, "I once said 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you."

i hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! once the mad-dash to finish up all of my sewing was done, it was very relaxing and nice. i don’t know about you, but in the weeks leading up to Christmas, my kids just kept coming home with candy canes. from classmates, from school, from friends, from greeters at grocery stores, in stockings – candy canes are everywhere around the holidays. one evening, i decided to modify a basic cookie recipe to use a few of those up! this is the perfect cookie to bake AFTER Christmas, when everyone is still snuggled around and relaxing, and to use something that may otherwise linger around the house for months. i used dark chocolate baking powder because there’s nothing much better than dark chocolate and mint together if you ask me. the cookies stayed soft and puffy and have a subtle minty flavor that isn’t overpowering – they taste unbelievably good paired with your morning latte! i’ve never posted a recipe here before, and frankly it makes me a bit nervous, but my friend and baker-extraordinnaire Jess volunteered as official recipe tester and she gave it a thumbs up, so here we go… : : : > > :: < < : : : AFTER-CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE by skirt as top yield: about 3 dozen cookies 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder (I used Hershey’s Special Dark – regular cocoa powder works too) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs, room temp 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips 2-3 large peppermint candy canes or 4-6 mini candy canes (use more or less depending on how much minty flavor you like) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap candy canes and put into a plastic ziploc bag, removing as much air as possible and sealing tightly. Sandwich the bag between two towels and smash candy canes with a hammer into small chips/dust. If you want, you could also put them in a blender/food processor to pulverize. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in stand mixer, first on medium speed until combined (1-2 minutes), then increase speed to high and beat for 5-6 minutes, until the mixture gets lighter in color and almost whipped-looking in consistency. Scrape down bowl, decrease speed to medium-low, and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add flour mixture gradually and beat until just combined. Do not overmix! Stir in mini-chips and candy cane pieces by hand. Drop by spoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies should be puffy and soft when you remove them from the oven and (fingers crossed) remain that way after cooling. if you make some, please let me know how they turn out! :) this post contains an Amazon affiliate link.
