Nice article by FORBES for those of you that may have jumped ship several times...and for those thinking of jumping ship.
10) The longer you stay in one company — even if you change jobs internally — the more set and solid your box will become.
9) The more companies you work for, the more your reputation in your business community can grow.
8) There are companies that won't hire people who have short-term jobs (even jobs that lasted two or three years) on their resumes.
7) When you stay put in one job for a long time, you can begin to perform your job mechanically.
6) When you change jobs more frequently, your spidey sense will get stronger.
5) The more often you change jobs, the more comfortable you will become interviewing, probing for Business Pain, telling Dragon-Slaying stories and negotiating to get paid what you're worth.
4) Every time you change jobs, you get to (and have to) re-establish your value.
3) It can feel uncomfortable to be incompetent.
1) When you stay in the same organization, you gradually lose touch with the outside world.

Causes of a massive elevation in serum aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) in the substance-abusing patient include viral hepatitis and drug hepatotoxicity. A patient chronically addicted to injection heroin and cocaine presented to the emergency room in a confused state and was admitted to a medical ward with an AST of 4120 U/L, ALT 3820 U/L and right upper quadrant discomfort. Investigations for viral and hepatotoxic causes for the liver dysfunction revealed only hepatitis C seropositivity. A computed tomogram of the abdomen, however, revealed a significant contusion to the right lobe of the liver consistent with traumatic injury. A motor vehicle accident, in which the patient was wearing a seat belt, and which had occurred a few days before admission and had been thought to be minor, was the cause of the liver dysfunction. Significant blunt abdominal traumatic injuries are usually managed exclusively by surgical trauma units. This case underlines the need for medical specialists to be aware of hepatic contusion injuries and to have a high index of suspicion when investigating unexplained hepatocellular dysfunction in chronic substance abusers who have been in motor vehicle accidents.


The cakes and pastries chain, which has been in crisis since October, has called in administrators from KPMG after failing to renew its banking facilities.
The administrators will continue to trade 121 stores while they assess options for the business, including exploring the possibility of a sale as a going concern. The administrators have retained the management team under chief executive Steve Francis to assist with the process.
Some stores will however close immediately, KPMG said: "A total of 70 stores and concessions will close, which will regrettably result in a significant number of redundancies. The joint administrators will provide further details regarding those outlets which will be affected by closure in the next 24 hours." A total of 3,000 staff are employed in the business.
The group operated stores and concessions across the UK under five brands: Patisserie Valerie, Druckers Vienna Patisserie, Philpotts, the five-outlet Baker & Spice and London organic bakery brand Flour Power City.
A £40m black hole in the group's finances was revealed in October, triggering a Serious Fraud Office investigation. In a statement to the stock market yesterday Patisserie Holdings said that as a consequence of the fraud, it did not have the cash to fulfil its liabilities. Chairman Luke Johnson has covered January's payroll.
Blair Nimmo and David Costley-Wood from KPMG have been appointed as joint administrators to Patisserie Holdings, while Costley-Wood and Will Wright have been appointed joint administrators to subsidiaries Patisserie Acquisition, Stonebeach, Philpotts and Flour Power City.
Nimmo, head of restructuring at KPMG, said: "Our intention is to continue trading across the profitable stores, as collectively, the brands have a strong presence on the high street and have proven very popular with consumers. At the same time, we will be seeking a buyer for the business and are hopeful of a good level of interest.
Patisserie Valerie locations in the region include Warrington, Lancaster, Carlisle, Bury, Manchester, Preston, the Trafford Centre, Southport, Cheshire Oaks and Liverpool, where there is also a concession in Debenham's. Druckers, which originated and remained prominent in the West Midlands, has an outlet in Manchester Arndale.
Philpotts has long been something of a breakfast and lunchtime institution in the North West, with four Manchester locations, two in Liverpool and one each in Knutsford and Chester, where the business started in 1985. The company was sold to Patisserie Valerie in 2014 with 21 locations, as the larger group sought to bring in an established presence in lunchtime markets.
This is sad for me from just a personal perspective as I love the cakes. But also very sad all round. I never knew they owned Philpotts btw!


These benefits are desirable and even necessary but are they enough to get the bull market back on track?
My worry is that the root cause of the market's problems has not been addressed. That root cause includes the sub-prime mess but is not limited to sub-prime. There has been a period where risk has been virtually ignored in all kinds of lending. We are seeing the worst of it in real estate but there are also many examples to be found in the financing for leveraged buy-outs, for example. Witness the proliferation of "covenant-lite" debt that has found its way into hedge fund and bank portfolios.
In this kind of situation, those investors who typically can be relied upon to buy the debt being offered from these various kinds of deals are now insisting on either higher risk premiums or tighter terms and conditions. This has analysts declaring a "credit crunch" is taking place. Some might simply call it prudent lending.
Will the Fed's increase in liquidity convince investors to go back to taking on risky, low-quality debt? Probably not.
Will the Fed's increase in liquidity prevent low quality debt instruments like bonds based on sub-prime loans from losing value and causing investor losses? Again, the answer is no.
So my outlook on the market remains at an improved level long term but not overly optimistic in the near term. As described above, there are still problems lurking that will affect hedge funds and especially financial and real estate stocks. If the economy does slow, it would put further pressure on the many companies that have been taken private and possibly cause a downward reevaluation of their debt, as well.
I think investors will enjoy the Fed's liquidity move for another session or two and then begin to worry about the undiscovered debt bombs that are still out there. This will take the wind out of the market's sails and stall the recovery for a while.
A period of time with no bad news about hedge funds imploding or lenders going belly up is what is needed to restore investor confidence in the long-term ability for stocks to resume the bull market. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long.


Here are letters and artifacts Bill sent home from the war to his father, Martin J. Conlon at 18 Temple Street, Whitman, Massachusetts.
How are you all at home? I haven't heard from any of you for almost ten days. I hope everyone is all right and that I hear from you soon. I think the mail is being held up on this end as the mail bags are piling up fast at the APO.
There's nothing new to tell you as I usually go on a detail every day at the QM or Signal depots. We don't do anything else except take i a movie now and then.
I picked up some Jap money so I'm sending it to you this this letter. There are five bills; two Jap and three Jap invasion and I'm also sending license and social security card. My bill-fold is covered with fungus so I don't want to carry anything I may need later. So put the stuff away for me please.
I just happened to think of something you could send me, that is dental floss. I can't get any in the PX's here.
I haven't heard from Joe for a long while' I hope he's still at Newport. Just had mail call and got Mary's V-mail of Nov. 8. glad to hear Joe took the car to Newport but if his ship is to be commissioned at the end of this month I guess he'll be going on it soon.
Hoover & I finally got the radio put together but the tube flew out on a short circuit so we've got to beg, borrow, or steal another. It did work however.
Did you see Danny B. when he was home? And does Earl White drop around much?
I signed payroll today and they took out the $30 allotment for the first first time so you should get it by the time this letter arrives. Well Dad it's time for supper so here's hoping I hear from you soon. Love to all and write often!
It's getting dark so this will have to be a short letter, but it'll let you know I'm fine and getting along OK. We have a nicer camp established than the last one and I like it here much better. The Filipinos help us a lot and treat us swell. They work for 50 cents a day and have actually put up the camp for us. The girls and women are in and out of the tents all day getting laundry and returning. It puts Charlie [the Chinese laundry man in Whitman. — author] to shame too when you see how white the clothes are with only a bar or so of hand soap we give them. About 50 cents takes care of a weeks clothes. It is a little embarrassing once in a while if we happen to be dressing when the come but it doesn't bother them. They have hardly any clothes but what the solders have given since the Japs took money, chickens and clothes. You can't imagine how the conditions are for them but they seem as happy as can be since the U.S. moved in.
We are only bothered by millions of insects, worms, scorpions etc, but they are only a nuisance rather than a danger.
We have plenty of coconuts since we are in a coconut grove and they helped fill our stomachs for the time we had rations.
You should see the Filipino kids climb the trees and hack them down. They have bolos made of auto springs and boy they know how to use them. One of them came around today to cut hair and give shaves. He had two straight razors and a boy scout knife. The knife was the one he used to shave with since it was the sharpest. Try that sometime when you run out of blades. I'm enclosing fourteen Jap invasion bills that a Filipino gave me. Give a few of them to any of the family that wants them.
We finally got a dozen bottles of beer tonite after about six weeks without it. The kitchen got turkey in today so it won't be too bad a Christmas after all. it won't be like being home tho.
Well Dad that's enough chamber of commerce table for now so I hope this letter find you all well. So keep writing, I'll get them all at once eventually. Give my love to all and I'll be thinking of you.
This is the first chance I've had to write since arriving here the first of the week as we are getting the camp set up and also going to the message center to find out what our work will be. That is the only bad part of coming here, since it looks like the whole team will be doing entirely different work from what we were trained. Two of us transmitter men are to be message center clerks and I don't care for that type of work. There is no information concerning the team getting together to do the work we had been doing.
We had a very comfortable ride down here even tho it was on top of our truck load of equipment. Most of the way was over a concrete road and we stopped at the halfway point for something to eat. All the trip was during the nite so we didn't see very much.
It's going to be a good deal in one way here as it's very much like a city at home except for so many ruins. Today three of us went to look part of the place over with a Filipino guerilla who's acting as our guide while he is here. We bought ice cream and coffee today altho the prices are higher than they should be. There are bars, restaurants, and all sorts of stores open and it's a busy place.
Tomorrow our friend is calling for us in a 'carabella' (Filipino horse & buggy) to take us to church and site seeing again. He has also promised us some good souvenirs but until we get them I'm not putting too much faith in it. We intend to have some pictures taken tomorrow also.
I bought some pictures from a fellow at our last camp of the locality, so I'm enclosing eleven of them now. You've probably seen similar ones in the newspapers.
I haven't received any mail since coming here but will in a few days I hope. I have a new APO number again and it should remain the same for quite some time.
I hope you are all O.K. and in the best of health. I'm still going strong and eating more now that the food is better – we've had real butter, potatoes, and eggs here so I hope the show stays that way. So long for now. Love to all.

Q: whoosh search query with converting '-' into AND I'm trying to use whoosh to do text searches.
When I search for a string containing - (ex.: 'IGF-1R'), it ends up searching for 'IGF' AND '1R', hence not treating it as a single string.
Any idea why?
Here is the code I'm using:
class MyFuzzyTerm(FuzzyTerm):
     def __init__(self, fieldname, text, boost=1.0, maxdist=1, prefixlength=2, constantscore=True):
          super(MyFuzzyTerm, self).__init__(fieldname, text, boost, maxdist, prefixlength, constantscore)

with ix.searcher() as searcher:
    qp = QueryParser("gene", schema=ix.schema, termclass=MyFuzzyTerm)
    q = qp.parse('IGF-1R')

q returns:
And([MyFuzzyTerm('gene', 'igf', boost=1.000000, maxdist=1, prefixlength=2), MyFuzzyTerm('gene', '1r', boost=1.000000, maxdist=1, prefixlength=2)])

I'd like it to be:
MyFuzzyTerm('gene', 'igf-1r', boost=1.000000, maxdist=1, prefixlength=2)

A: Separating text into words is the job of tokenizer, I usually use the whoosh.analysis.SpaceSeparatedTokenizer() but for your case the tokenizer is separating based on space and dash.
So I bet you are using the whoosh.analysis.CharsetTokenizer(charmap) with (space, dash) within charmap or the whoosh.analysis.RegexTokenizer(expression=<_sre.SRE_Pattern object>, gaps=False).

Coast Guard, multiple agencies provide maritime security for Presidential Inauguration
Jan 20th, 2009 · Comments Off on Coast Guard, multiple agencies provide maritime security for Presidential Inauguration
by Petty Officer 3rd Class Jonathan Lindberg
Curled up on cots in a green canvas tent lay six men. Still wearing their dry suits, their faces are still flushed pink from the cold air as they close their eyes and try to get some rest while the bitter wind is rifling the walls of their makeshift home. Next to them sprawled out on black cases is an arsenal of light machine guns, shotguns and rifles. These men make up a part of the maritime security forces the Coast Guard has stationed at Camp Washington in its efforts to support the 56th Presidential Inauguration.
Thousands of miles away from the sunny shoreline of Miami and Galveston, Texas, the members of the Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Teams are being temporarily relocated to patrol the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.
The MSSTs along with the Maritime Security Response Team and six cutters have increased the Coast Guard's forces in the area and are available to conduct security patrols during the presidential inauguration and the days leading up to it.
"The main mission is to inform the public and enforce the closure of the river," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Carl Habek, a coxswain with MSST Miami. The biggest challenge posed against the team is learning the new area. To help them quickly adapt to the new surroundings the team has been studying charts and maps.
"This is a new experience for a lot of the guys," said Habek. A new experience but not a new mission.
Several hundred agents and officers are partnering with the Coast Guard from local, state and federal agencies to assist in securing events surrounding the inauguration of the President-elect. Members of these agencies along with Coast Guard members will be randomly and strategically placed to ensure maritime security along the banks of the Potomac River.
Supporting the Coast Guard and the United States Secret Service are agents from the Metropolitan Police Department, Harbor Patrol, Fairfax County Police Department, Maryland Natural Resource Police, Maryland Transportation Authority, Prince George County Police and members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Marine Interdiction.
All the agencies will be conducting joint patrols up and down the Potomac River to monitor and restrict recreational and commercial maritime traffic.
The multi-layered security forces have not only been battling the possible threat of terrorism, but also the freezing temperatures that have been lingering around the nation's capital. "The weather is keeping a lot of recreational boaters off the water," said Dave Pelfrey, Director of Marine Operations from the Great Lakes Air and Marine Branch located in Detroit, Mich. and a 12-year veteran of CBP.
"Our crews also have the challenge of working in icy conditions," he said. Pelfrey has experience working with the Coast Guard in the northern Midwest as well as the Southeast.
The mission for the security during the inauguration is the same mission that all these agencies are no stranger to. It is no surprise that when our nation needs one of the busiest bodies of water on the eastern seaboard secure it calls upon the talents of its best maritime security professionals. With the capital city waterways under their lookout the country has every reason to feel safe.

All superyachts have air conditioning and refrigeration installations for provisions, making them subject to increasingly stringent regulations regarding the use of coolants. Heinen & Hopman Engineering has developed an ingenious new system, the replacement chiller, which can replace the existing onboard facilities with a new state-of-the-art cooling system without the need to make openings in the hull. Heinen & Hopman's replacement chillers are designed and manufactured as a building package and suitable for transporting through the doors of a superyacht.
As coolants such as chlorous CFKs and HCFKs deplete the ozone layer, agreements to gradually phase out these products were established in the Montreal protocol of 1989. Over time the European Union has further developed this convention with an accelerated prohibition date for ozone-depleting substances in EU regulation 2037/2000.
Under the terms of this regulation, HCFKs (such as R22) have been banned from use in new installations since 2000 and for service and maintenance purposes since 2010. Although regenerated (recycled) HCFKs can still be used until 2015, they will also be prohibited and only (non-chlorous) HFKs will be permitted.
The Heinen & Hopman method allows the easy disassembly and reassembly of the cooling system. The system is designed in-house, manufactured in the company's own production facilities in the Netherlands, fully tested in its own testing area, disassembled, brought on board, reassembled and made operational. Heinen & Hopman's facilities in Barcelona, Antibes and La Specia can also perform this service.
"Another key choice that owners have to make is whether to refit - which can lead to a loss of capacity and a risk of leakage - or to install a new installation with a similar design that uses a new type of coolant," adds Hopman. "The benefits of a new installation include operational security and a capacity guarantee. More efficient energy consumption and the availability of components are further advantages of Heinen & Hopman's replacement chiller system." The chillers are available in standard sea water or fresh water cooled versions with a cooling capacity of 20, 30 & 40 TR, 2-Stage and 40, 50 & 60 TR, 3-Stage. Fully custom built solutions are available upon request, right down to the paint colour and cooling capacities up to unlimited levels.

'Ghost Particle' is Proof of Alien Life, Says Astrobiologists

The discovery of a ghostlike particle taken from several miles above the Earth is believed by researchers to be proof of the existence of extra-terrestrial life.
A group of astrobiologists at the Universities of Sheffield and Buckingham have released the image of the specter-looking particle to the Daily Express. The particle, which is 10 microns in width or approximately as thick as a single strand of human hair, resembles a wisp of smoke or a chiffon scarf, earning for it the nickname ghost particle.
Prof. Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield speculates that the ghost particle is a "living balloon" that once carried alien organisms. He also believes that the particle, which appears to be in its "deflated" state, could be inflated by these organisms using gases that are lighter than air to allow it to float in air or seas of unknown environments.
"This is nothing short of a New Year's present from outer space," Wainwright says.
In a paper published in the Journal of Cosmology, Wainwright and his colleagues say the ghost particle is actually the cell wall (frustule) of a type of microscopic algae called diatom. In July last year, the researchers sent balloons 14 to 17 miles (22 to 27 kilometers) into the Earth's atmosphere to collect samples of particles in the stratosphere. The ghost particle, the researchers believe, may have been delivered by a comet.
"Most people will assume that these biological particles must have just drifted up to the stratosphere from Earth, but it is generally accepted that a particle of the size found cannot be lifted from Earth to heights of, for example, 27 kilometers," says Wainwright. "The only known exception is by a violent volcanic eruption, none of which occurred within three years of the sampling trip."
Skeptics, however, exist. Seth Shostak, astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Mountain View, California, says the idea that life is distributed throughout the universe by being transported by objects such as comets, a notion called panspermia, is credible, at least over short distances, such as in solar systems. Shostak, however, says Wainwright's claims will have to stand up to scrutiny by the wider scientific community.
"In the past, most members of the astrobiology community have found it easier to ascribe these claims to terrestrial contamination than to extraterrestrial hitchhikers," Shostak says. "It remains to be seen whether that opinion will be changed by these new results."
However, Wainwright insists that the ghost particle, which is made up of carbon and oxygen, did not originate from the Earth. He says the particle appeared on the sampling stub in "absolutely pristine condition" with no traces of contamination by Earth particles, such as pollen, grass, or pollution particles. He also points to the impact craters the particles made on the sampling stub as further proof of their space origin.
Astrobiologist Chris McKay of the Ames Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is looking for more proof than that. Although he says it is likely the researchers discovered "curious stuff" in the atmosphere, he still subscribes to the Carl Sagan principle that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."
One example of extraordinary proof McKay is looking for could be a biochemical indication that the ghost particle does not share biochemistry with life on Earth.
"If they were able to show that it was composed of all D amino acids (proteins in Earth life are made of L amino acids), that would be pretty convincing to me," McKay says.
Wainwright says he and his team are planning to conduct further studies on the ghost particle, such as finding the ratios of various isotopes, or the varieties of elements with different neutron numbers in the atomic nuclei. If the ratio of isotopes gives a certain number, the particle is from space; if it gives another, it is from Earth.
Last year, Russian scientists announced that they discovered traces of diatomic plankton on the surface and illuminators of the International Space Station (ISS). Although NASA dismissed the report, Russian ISS orbital mission chief Vladimir Solovyev said that it was the first time plankton was discovered in space. However, it isn't clear up to now how the particles have appeared on the ISS.

This viewer is great for my needs. I've been using Simple Comic for a while, but I've had many issues with it so I set out to find something better.
I don't read manga, so all of the defaults in this app had to be tweaked. I had to adjust all of the key bindings to support "left to right" reading. Once that was done, everything worked as expected. I primarily read old magazines and western comics, both of which work great. The app also has good integration with Apple's APIs, so touch pad gestures and compositing effects work well.
The only think I would have liked is continuous vertical scrolling support, so I could just scroll down continuously instead of loading each page individually. That's a minor gripe, overall the app is great and has no performance issues I can see.
DrawnStrips Reader is the best comic/manga reader for Mac that I know of at the moment. I mainly read manga (American comics have kinda been going downhill lately -_-) and this app is PERFECT for it. It supports dual page reading (looks great on the 15" Retina display) and the default page movement is right to left, so I didn't have to change any settings at all. It gets the job done and has a very polished, minimalistic feel to it. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a good comic/manga reader, it is well worth the 4 bucks.
Looks like I found a comic book reader. Works great and you have many options like export or change direction of comic.
I tried to open a troublesome file (.rar), but it didn't work. I also couldn't open it in most of the other readers I have, but the other cbrs and cbz were fine.
Nice professional feel. I'll write more of a review once I use it more often.

Two Early Gustavus, Alaska Guests Explore Vacant White Homestead.
Mary Louise Crowell (sister to Nell Crowell Parker) was a frequent visitor in Gustavus, and came from California to work in Juneau. With her is Edward L. Hughes who was raised in the Juneau Children's Home and later became a well-loved pastor in Alaska. Click for more.
The May and Bill White, Sr. homestead (now the Gustavus Inn) was empty from the mid to late 1930's and 1940's (except for a few sporatic summer months, the winter of 1938, and hosting the airport surveyor team for about a year in 1942). During WWII May felt it too dangerous to be in Gustavus with her children. The White Family was gone from Gustavus (for a variety of reasons) for years at a time and lived in Juneau, California, and bought a house in Washington. In 1947 May, divorced from Bill, Sr., returned and married Archie Chase soon after. By that time most of the White children were grown and on their own (except for Alice age 15, and Bill, Jr. age 13). Most of them made their lives elsewhere before some of them returned in middle age to build houses in Gustavus of their own. Soon after 1947 the homestead was fixed up for overnite visitors and Archie and May Chase began to operate the original homestead as Gustavus' first overnight lodge.
Rev. Edward L. Hughes died July 30, 2008 in Anchorage. He was 83 years old. He was born July 25, 1925 in Juneau, Alaska. He lived in Juneau, Fairbanks, Soldotna and Palmer and pastored churches in Petersburg in the 1950's and Fairbanks.
"Dad was a wonderful, loving husband and father. He never forgot his 'roots' of being raised in the Juneau Children's Home that turned his life around," said his son. "He was eternally grateful to Lyle and Helen Johnson (Auntie) who poured their love into him."
He enjoyed hunting and fishing. As an Alaskan pastor he had "a heart for missions", and according to his family traveled around the world to offer his services on the mission field. He loved people, and one of his favorite places to meet them was at a local favorite in Soldotna "The Moose Is Loose".
Information about the life of Edward L. Hughes was obtained from his obituary published in Juneau Empire August 8, 2008.

Rousing action and stunning visual effects in "Gods of Egypt"
Posted by Unknown February 15, 2016
The power of ancient myths and the imagination of today's most gifted storytellers have come together for the action fantasy adventure movie "Gods of Egypt," a grandly entertaining spectacle that transports audiences into a vivid universe of larger-than-life figures locked in epic battle.
In this "Gods of Egypt," the survival of mankind hangs in the balance as an unexpected mortal hero Bek (Brenton Thwaites) undertakes a thrilling journey to save the world and rescue his true love. In order to succeed, he must enlist the help of the powerful god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in an unlikely alliance against Set (Gerard Butler), the merciless god of darkness, who has usurped Egypt's throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict. As their breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen takes them into the afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the spectacular final confrontation.
Horus in mythology is known as the Lord of the Air. While his ego is initially inflated by his status as a god, through his association with Bek, Horus slowly learns to respect mortals, and even develops a liking of them. It's a change of heart he'll need if he's going to avenge the death of his father Osiris and retake the throne from the usurper Set. Horus' deity is a winged and armored form with a falcon-shaped head. His power resides in his eyes.
One of today's fast-rising actors, Brenton Thwaites, stars as Bek, a mortal who is affably mischievous. Bek comes from modest beginnings and has little to offer the woman he loves, Zaya (Eaton), aside from his heart. Having lost faith in the gods, Bek relies on his own zeal and ingenuity to make his way in life.
Imagine a world carved from stone and gilt in gold. Visually futuristic, this realm conjures an alternate world where ancient gods live among mortals. This coexistence between beings existed so long as there was peace, but the trust between man and god has been shattered by hubris, jealousy and betrayal as the destruction of all creation dawns nears. Visionary director Alex Proyas has created an otherworldly Egypt, beyond time and history, in which moviegoers voyage through dazzling cityscapes, mythological characters, and epic heroism in this pulse-pounding, fantasy action-adventure. Proyas envisions a completely unique, one-of-a-kind world by combining the timeless art of storytelling and the latest in digital cinema technology.
"Gods of Egypt" also brings an impressive cast of immensely talented and engaging actors such as Geoffrey Rush, Elodie Yung, Chadwick Boseman Abbey Lee, Yaya Deng, Courtney Eaton and Rufus Sewell.
Bringing to life a complex array of fictional characters, "Gods of Egypt" is an original story unlike anything viewers have seen that will open this February 24 in cinemas nationwide from Pioneer Films.

in the vineyard : Dowsed with all the privileges from a cool climate, Walker Bay has become synonymous with outstanding South African Pinot Noir. On the oceans edge, the vineyard enjoys cool daytime temperatures that drop at night with a beneficial diurnal range that aids in even ripening.
Slope: south east and south west facing vineyards| Soil: predominantly weathered shale and iron laterites, high calcium content.
Clones: 777, 115 - all grapes are estate grown.
in the cellar : Grapes were handpicked at optimal potential with selected bunch and berry sorting in the cellar. Partially whole bunch fermented to retain freshness and texture; the four day cold soak encouraged maximum fruit and colour extraction. The juice was inoculated, followed by gentle punch downs twice a day. After alcoholic fermentation, it was pressed, settled and transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation.

� Paul Anka Is On F'ing Fire. [Dave at Garfield Ridge] | Main | Do You Hate The Commerce Clause? [Dave at Garfield Ridge] �
Nerds Make Better Lovers. [Dave at Garfield Ridge]
Thanks to reader Compos Mentis for forwarding this NY Daily News story.
And, she insists that a woman who is willing to stick it out with a nerd and get past his quirks will be handsomely rewarded. "Don't give up on him too fast," she said. "If you stick with him, he's going to turn out to be really great."
Before I comment, let me clarify that, for the record, "nerd" and "geek" are not synonymous.
My working definition of "dork" is someone who has no viable social skills. A "geek" is a master of trivia and socially-useless skills. A nerd is a sub-genus of geek, a dorky geek.
Anyway, reading this story, the New York Daily News really stretches their definition of geek. Tiger Woods is a geek? Hardly.
But to get to that authentic nerd, chic women have to be willing to embrace their own inner geek and accept the guy for who he is, chess trophies and all. The caveat to mating with a geek, as some dating experts see it, is coming to terms with his less-than-studly looks and less-than-suave demeanor. All thoughts of embarrassment have to go out the window.
Yeah, that's likely to happen. Ever wonder how Tiger got his hot wife? It wasn't because he spends hours a day refining his short game, I can assure you. Money works wonders in increasing the attractiveness of men.
Still, some women are attracted to freakishly bizarre talents, and God bless those few that are. Without these wonderful women, my ability to quote every line from Fletch, flip my tongue 180 degrees, and detail the order of battle for a 1944 panzer division would go unappreciated.
Which got me to thinking-- as a geek myself, what pickup lines would I recommend to other geeks interested in dating beautiful women?
-- "Would you like to go grab a cup of coffee and a slice of 3.1415926. . . ?"
-- "Your's is one action figure I definitely want to take out of the box."
-- "I love every bone in your body-- especially your zygomatic and occipital bones."
-- "What do you say we head back to my parent's basement, light some incense, and play some Theremin music?"
-- "All the fly ho's call my Napoleon dynamite. Wanna feel why?"
-- "Is your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and compressed them into a singularity from which not even light can escape."
-- "You like waffles? Because that's what my mom will make us for breakfast tomorrow."
-- "If you think you're having fun now, wait until we play Strip GURPS."
-- "I am so into you, Betsy. I want to get another woman up, hire a hooker. Let's get crazy, get some coke."
-- "Damn girl, your feedback is oscillating!"
-- "Have you ever held a +3 staff of hot throbbing justice?"
-- "Hi, I'm Dave from Garfield Ridge."

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ||| Ch.IX. THE SHIPS
Category: Christopher Columbus
The first ship furnished by the people of Palos was the little "Nina". She was chartered for the trip from her owner Juan Nino.
She was a sturdy little vessel called a caravel, carefully built, a speedy sailer — the product of honest and wise workmen.
The "Nina" was a small, one-decked vessel with lateen sails on three masts.
How big was the "Nina"? The records say that she was sixty tons. However, in those days that kind of measuring did not mean weight. The nautical ton of Columbus's time was actually a "tun", which is a cask of wine. Casks of wine were the most usual cargoes of the Spanish ships along the coast. So, to calculate the size of the "Nina", we have to picture a vessel which could carry sixty "tuns" of wine.
We can guess that "Nina" was about twenty-one metres long from front to rear. At her widest point she was about seven metres. Her depth in the water was about two metres.
Like all other caravels, the "Nina" had only one deck. Everything under this deck was called the hold. A raised platform like a balcony near the stern was called the quarterdeck and it was reserved for the captain and chief officers. A small hut, called by the Spaniards a "toldilla", was erected on the quarter-deck as the captain's cabin.
As you see, there was not very much room, and certainly very little comfort, for the twenty-two men who sailed the "Nina" to the New World.
The "Pinta" was only a little larger than the "Nina". Like the "Nina", she was a well-constructed vessel built by the craftsmen of Palos. She was like the "Nina" except that she had square sails instead of lateen.
The third ship was the "Santa Maria". She was a carrack with square sails built in the province of Galicia. The "Santa Maria" was bigger than a caravel, she sat much too deeply in the water and could not be used for exploration near shore. So Columbus was afraid that it would be dangerous to try to sail her over unknown reefs.
Carracks were not built for speed sailing. They were made to hold cargo. Because of their shape they were slow, and they rolled and pitched uncomfortably.
Nobody knows exactly what the "Santa Maria" looked like or how big she was. There are indications, however, that she was more than one hundred tons large. She was about twenty-three metres long, which was not as big as most carracks. But she j was the biggest of the three ships of Columbus's fleet, and for that reason he made her the flagship. The toldilla on the "Santa Maria" was larger than those on the other ships and thus more suited for Admiral Christopher Columbus.
The fifteenth-century shipbuilders did not think about human comforts. Except for the captain's toldilla, there were no private cabins for anyone. The crew and passengers simply lay down on deck to sleep wherever they could find a place. A few tarpaulins made the only protection against rain in bad weather, but most sailors could sleep in the rain and snow and wind.
Some sailors crept into the hold on stormy nights to sleep on the stones which were carried as ballast.
The stone ballast was important not only to weigh down the bottom of the ship so that she would not roll so much, but also as a kind of ammunition. Some sailors usually carried a few of these stones in their pockets and used them to kill a sea-bird. The birds were a welcome change in the daily diet of salt meat, fish and biscuits.
Because there was no regular cook, the sailor had to cook the bird himself over an open firebox, lined with sand and screened from the wind by a wooden back.
Firewood was precious, and the sailor had to be careful to use only a little bit of it.
The life of a sailor in Columbus's time was not easy. Work aboard ship was very hard and it demanded skill and training. The able seaman had to know how to cook, how to mend rope and sail, how to climb the rigging and manage sails in a storm, how to steer the ship.
Although each ship usually carried a master carpenter, the able seaman had to know how to build a ship, if necessary.
The sailor needed skill as much as he needed muscle when his turn cartie to steer the ship. Steering demanded a particular kind of "sea-sense", especially because the helmsman usually worked "blind". Columbus's helmsmen stood at great oak tillers and pushed these back and forth to move the heavy rudder. The steering wheel had not yet been invented. The helmsmen had to know how to keep the ship on her course, because very often he could see nothing. Over his head was the quarter-deck, shutting out his view of the sky and sails.
It was the job of an officer, who stood on the quarter-deck to shout directions down to the helmsman.
The seaman had to know how to shoot, for guns were carried aboard Columbus's little fleet. Each ship carried a few iron "lombards". There were several "falconets" as well. The sailors also had to use small arms such as crossbows and muskets.
The "Nina", "Pinta" and "Santa Maria" were a pretty sight in Palos harbour, on August 2, 1492. Their many colourful pennants and banners flew high in the breeze. Over the "Santa Maria's" masthead waved the special banner that Columbus had designed for the voyage. It was a snow-white banner with a great green cross on it. Above each arm of the cross was a gold crown. Over one crown was the queen's initial and over the other crown stood "F" for King Ferdinand.
But on the next day the banners would be hauled down and carefully packed away. No ship ever sailed with banners flying — these were only for display in port. On the open sea banners would soon be torn to pieces. And these gay banners would be needed for the busy wealthy ports of the Indies that surely lay on the other side of the Ocean Sea.

Review - Girl in the Curl
A Century of Women's Surfing
by Andrea Gabbard
Seal Press, 2000
Review by Courtney Young
May 31st 2001 (Volume 5, Issue 22)
Girl in the Curl takes the reader on a journey through the history of women's surfing. The contributions that women made to this sport are both crucial and often overlooked. Page by page this book reveals the powerful impact surfing has had on women since the ancient Hawaiians took to the water, and started riding waves.
With each chapter we are given a glimpse into the lives of legendary women surfers. Although their approach to surfing was rooted in different motivations; their passion for the ocean would unite them in a way that would otherwise not have been possible.
Marge Calhoun didn't start surfing until she was married and had two daughters, but she was an experienced water-woman. Once she had discovered surfing, she saw her earlier life as a preparation of sorts, to this new way of life. She thought, as many do, that surfing not only keeps you fit physically, but mentally as well. She wasn't afraid to surf the big Hawaiian waves with the line-up dominated by men, for she was just as fearless, and just as talented. Her passion for the ocean was passed on to her daughters who followed her into the water like ducklings. Surfing in the fifties and sixties, Marge was a pioneer in surfing, not just women's surfing.
Some approach this sport from a more competitive stance while others are simply soul surfers. Linda Benson and Joyce Hoffmann, for example, were both extremely athletic, competitive surfers of the late fifties. They took surfing to another level. Calhoun and her daughters made surfing more approachable for women of all ages. Linda started surfing more aggressively, and Joyce would try to surf exactly like the guys. Margo Oberg, another champion, would prove the longevity of one's surfing career by surfing professionally for more than three decades. Many of these women are in their seventies, and are still surfing today. Surfing, once discovered, becomes a way of life.
We are taken through the lives of soul surfers such a Shelley Merrick, and Rell Sunn. One can't help but become infected with the spirit of Aloha when reading about Rell's influence on young surfers, and her role in the Surf Rider Foundation. Surfing provided her therapy when battling for years against breast cancer. Her death was felt throughout the surf community, and surfers from all over the world flocked to Hawaii to pay their respects in January of 1998.
There is also the new generation of surfers such as Lisa Anderson, and Serena Brook making their mark, surfing just as good as the men; but unfortunately not getting quite as much prize money. Things are changing though, and these past few years have shown a resurgence in surfing, and especially women's surfing.
Throughout the book are beautiful images of waves from around the world, works of art in their own right. From vintage shots taken in the fifties, to those taken by cutting edge underwater cameras, we can see how surfing has evolved.
Not only is this book interesting because those written about are quite unique; but there are short essays by surfers about others surfers. Hearing all these different voices provides for a colorful journey, and can be enjoyed by surfer and non-surfer alike. Furthermore, there is a glossary of terms at the end to help those not familiar with surf lingo, as well as a list of women's surf organizations throughout the world.

"Sometimes life beats on you a bit, and I was in pretty rough shape both physically and mentally. I was desperately looking for help in getting myself back on the right path. After seeing Rebirth's cool logo on a vehicle parked around the lake in Wakefield, I was enticed to find out what this "transformation" was all about. I met with Julian on our first consultation, and I knew immediately that this was the place for me. His inviting and energetic personality, mixed with a vast wealth of knowledge, was exactly what I was looking for.
Julian's approach to health is a culmination of mind, body and spirit techniques. By helping me change the way I think about myself, and my daily workout routines, I have lost 15lbs in a very short period of time.
His plan is very simple, direct and easy to follow. I am feeling more energetic and "alive" these days with my new body (still a work in progress) and spiritual outlook.
I strongly believe that people are brought into our lives for a reason. I found Julian at the right time and he has been there pushing me through. I am grateful for everything Julian has done and honestly believe he has changed my outlook on life. Get to know Rebirth… you won't be disappointed!"
Do you need a simple, holistic approach?

To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out the World, by Lucy Siegle, is an insightful read into the worrying impact fast fashion has on the environment and the peoples' lives who make your clothes. This book explores the use of different material fibers (both natural and synthetic), as well as the processes involved in manufacturing, highlighting the negativity that our ignorance to keep up with fashion has on the planet. This read is an eye opener into the ecological and social impact of clothing production on a global level, which all fashion junkies should consider, by understanding the labels that make up the story of their clothes, before they decide to go on their next shopping spurge. Siegle, a guilty shopaholic, connects with the reader/consumer, urging them to think more carefully about their future purchases by questioning where it came from, who made it, how long will it last and how environmentally friendly it is. These are some of the questions that are addressed in an attempt to uncover the binding truths of the consequences of fashion consumerism.

Wakelyns is an organic rotation agroforestry farm in Suffolk UK – one of the longest-established and most diverse of its kind.
Our 56 acres are divided by rows of trees into cropping alleys 12, 14 or 18 metres wide. This year we are growing YQ and Q wheat (developed at Wakelyns – see the explainer), lentils, chia, oats, peas, and squash in the cropping alleys. In the tree rows are nearly 50 varieties of apples, pears, quinces, cherries, walnuts, hazelnuts, along with trees for timber and coppiced willow and hazel for thatching and biomass fuel.
With its trees, its biomass boiler, its photovoltaic solar panel and its ground source heating, Wakelyns celebrates its farming and ecological diversity and its contribution to tackling climate change. Wakelyns sits as an oasis within the Suffolk countryside, surrounded by huge fields growing monoculture crops, mostly for animal feed and overwhelmingly dependent on agricultural chemicals.
The Wakelyns farmhouse dates back to about the 16th century and the farm itself has no doubt changed many times over the centuries. From 1994, Ann and Martin Wolfe established and ran Wakelyns as an organic rotation agroforestry research centre. The Wolfe's plans were always ambitious and driven by sound scientific research and a profound concern food consumers as well as growers.
The palpable excitement in Ann and Martin's voices is reflected in their many maps and planting plans for the farm. There's a small archive here
Following Ann's death in 2016 and Martin's in 2019, the next generation of the Wolfe family wants to keep Wakelyns as a pioneer of sustainability, growing and developing grains, pulses and other important foods.
The family are gently shifting the focus to make Wakelyns a demonstration centre for the benefits and beauty of agroforestry, while also bringing a wider range of people to enjoy the things which make Wakelyns such a special place.

Wakelyns 2020 – building on the past
It's not just about the history here at Wakelyns. We have exciting plans to take the farm into a new era in which we hope to influence food and farming practice for the best through our links and collaborations across the organic, scientific, farming, food, baking, restaurant, environmental, ecological and political communities, locally and across the UK and beyond.
Led by Ann and Martin's sons David and Toby, we are also developing other activities which support and celebrate the farming and food production at Wakelyns. Plans include returning vegetable growing to Wakelyns, housing a bakery, and creating accommodation to make Wakelyns a hub hosting courses and similar activities, as well as welcoming visitors and holiday makers.


This simple 1 a day formula can be taken every morning with your first meal of the day. UltraDex has over 100% of the RDA of 25 different vitamins and minerals all in one simple small pill. If you don't take a multivitamin you should because chances are your micro-nutrient deficient. It's almost impossible to get all the vitamins and minerals necessary for proper health and optimal function through only food alone.


This sometimes stumps a lot of people. Even I have to stop and think about it from time to time. KB,MB & GB are all units of disk space. Each ones shows how much can be stored on that disk. By "disk" I mean a hard drive, flash drive, DVD or CD and so on. So how does it work?
So now you know. That's a lot of balls!
I hope this helps! HEHE!
