Can Rutgers put itself in position to win its first Big East crown? On paper, Rutgers coach Greg Schiano has entered preseason camps with far fewer questions than he will have when his players begin bumping helmets Tuesday. Uncertainty about the quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback, tight end and running back positions will loom, but that doesn't mean the Scarlet Knights don't enter the preseason with their best chance to capture that elusive Big East championship.
Never before has the Big East been so wide open, with five of the eight teams — including Rutgers — picked in some form to win the league title. Even the conference's preseason poll showed how balanced the Big East is perceived to be, with four teams receiving first-place votes and the No. 1 team (Pittsburgh) and No. 5 team (Rutgers) separated by a mere 35 points.
are at the teams picked No. 6 (Connecticut), No. 7 (Louisville) and last (Syracuse) in the league's preseason poll.
College football slates don't get any softer than that. And it's why Rutgers, despite the myriad of offensive questions that need to be settled in the preseason, could be favored to win every game it plays this fall.

Northeastern, Central York both going for state gold

It's become a tradition.
When the Northeastern boys' volleyball season ends, it's done on a court at Penn State University.
And it's not just about ending it there, either. It's also about returning home with a state championship trophy to show off to its fans.
The Bobcats have won the last four PIAA Class 2-A state titles, becoming the most dominant boys' volleyball program in the state over that time, regardless of classification.
Saturday, Northeastern will be at PSU for a fifth consecutive year, and it will try to win an unprecedented fifth straight state championship, this time facing Beaver County Christian.
The Bobcats will be one of two York County teams battling for a state boys' volleyball title on Saturday. Immediately after the 2-A final, Central York will take on North Allegheny in the 3-A championship match.
In each case, the local team will face a familiar foe.
"I'm really looking forward to playing them again," Northeastern's Jacob Cheuvront said about BCC following Tuesday's semifinal win over Manheim Central. "We started the season with them and now we'll end the season with them."
The Bobcats had little trouble with the Eagles in that match to kick off the season, winning in three games, 25-18, 25-20, 25-19. At that time, however, BCC was No. 1 in the state in 2-A (according the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association), while Northeastern was in unfamiliar territory, ranked all the way down in sixth.
After the early-season win, it didn't take long for the Bobcats to climb the state rankings, eventually taking over the No. 1 spot and holding it for the duration of the season.
This Northeastern team isn't as dominant as recent state-championship outfits, but that was to be expected after last year's team graduated all six starters. Yet, the Bobcats still found ways to win, whether it was by sweep or in five games, which is what it took to get past Manheim Central in Tuesday's state semifinals.
Regardless of how it's done, the players know that if they play up to their standards, there isn't a team out there that can beat them.
""If we can pass well, we can get our middles going, that's very, very good for us," Cole Brillhart said.
The Eagles are a relatively new program, in just its ninth season of existence. However, after making the state quarterfinals last season, BCC entered the year with lofty expectations.
While Northeastern dethroned them of the top spot in the rankings, the Eagles mostly lived up to those expectations. BCC will provide a major challenge for the Bobcats.
"There was a reason that we were seeking them out and I think that there was a reason that they were willing to accept it," Northeastern head coach Matt Wilson said about opening the year with BCC. "They have a great coaching staff out there. (Christen Adels) does a great job. They're going to be ready."
The Bobcats will be aiming for the program's eighth PIAA state boys' volleyball crown overall.
Central York will look to win its second PIAA Class 3-A state title in four years on Saturday when it faces North Allegheny. The two teams met for the state title back in 2014, when the Panthers won with a sweep. Dawn J. Sagert photo (Photo: Dawn J. Sagert, The York Dispatch)
Panthers look to make it a triple: Joining the Bobcats in State College on Saturday will be fellow York-Adams foe Central York.
The Cenrtral-North Allegheny match-up has some history to it.
Not only have the two programs met three times this year in tournaments, with the Panthers holding a 2-1 edge, but they also met in 2014 in the state gold medal match, with Central York sweeping its way to the title, the last one the program has won.
"These two programs are like royalty in PIAA," Panthers' head coach Todd Goodling said after Tuesday's semifinal win over Emmaus. "It's always the WPIAL vs. District 3. So, the kids respect each other and it's going to be a great match."
The Panthers have been rolling this season and haven't slowed up in the postseason. They've already captured the Y-A League and District 3 3-A titles this year, so a state crown will complete the trifecta of single-season trophies.
In order to get to the finals, No. 1 Central had to take down No. 2 Emmaus in the semifinals. On the other side of the bracket, North Allegheny, ranked fourth in the state in 3-A, took down No. 3 Central Dauphin in the other semifinal, setting up a match-up that should provide some drama.
"I think (this) is what should've happened this season based off of every team I've seen play this year," Central libero Zak Kakos said. "I think these are the top-two teams in the state, but any of the top four could've won."
North Allegheny is making its 15th trip to the state championship match, going 5-9 in those appearances, with its last crown coming in 2013. The Panthers have had better luck in state finals, going 6-4 in their 10 previous appearances.
The Northeastern vs. BCC match is set for 11 a.m., with the Central York vs. North Allegheny match following at 1 p.m. Both will be played at PSU's Rec Hall.

Q: What does this quotation mean?
Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf
  clovers.

I have no idea what the quotation means. Is there any special meaning about four-leaf clovers that I may be unaware of?

A: The only reference I can find right now says that the ratio of three-leaf to four-leaf clovers is ~10,000 to 1.  I would interpret that saying as meaning that you're likely to miss real opportunities if you spend (waste) your time looking for a rare item to bring you good luck.

A: My guess is: success comes more from conscientiousness (seizing opportunities) than from luck (four-leaf clovers).  Or: don't rely on luck, take advantage of opportunities.

A: It means valuable opportunities are easily squandered by spending too much time searching for things that are difficult (or impossible) to find.
For example, chasing after a scholarship from NC State with single-minded intensity may cause someone to miss the fact that they've been already been accepted by ECU.
IDK if that helped; I hope it did. :)

Q: How to add a fine in existing clearcase baseline? (Not the latest baseline) Is it possible to add a file in existing ClearCase baseline (Not the latest baseline) ?
Scenario :
There is a component , say CC_COMP having a number of baselines created over time. Consider below baselines in the component CC_COMP
BL_Latest
BL_New
BL_Older
BL_Oldest

There is a file FILE already present in BL_Lastest which is ONLY version in the VOB.
Now I want to add the same file FILE ( logically different but same in name ) in the baseline BL_Older.
How can I add that file in that older baseline?

A: No: a baseline is, by its very definition, immutable.
See for instance the article "The power of Unified Change Management"

These baselines are semantically rich objects that identify a "version" of a UCM component.
  By using them, you can be certain that all files in that component are associated with the same version.
You can also be certain that the baseline will not change out from under you.
  Once created, UCM baselines are immutable and can be used for defining higher-level configurations. An entire system, for example, can be assembled from a set of component baselines.

You need to:

*

*create a substream to the stream where BL_Older was created

*rebase or initialize that substream with the BL_Older baseline

*add your file (using an UCM view associated with that stream)

*make a new baseline BL_Older.1 for example.


In this webinar, Belinda C. Daniels describes her journey to developing her Indigenous teacher identity. A pivotal moment in her teaching career – a "whisper of true learning" – made her question what kind of teacher she was going to be, and awakened her nêhiyâw identity. "It made me realize that I had forgotten who I was and, at the same time, that it was my responsibility to remember where I came from for the benefit of my students," she says. In her presentation, Belinda will explore the constructs that had either diminished or enhanced her identity development within the experiences of formal and non-formal learning.
This is a free professional development opportunity for educators who are committed to ensuring the success of Indigenous students in Canada.

We are stronger together, so let's take the time to learn how we can pool resources and collaborate with others to achieve our goals.
Topics include historical, social, and political issues in Aboriginal education; terminology; cultural, spiritual and philosophical themes in Aboriginal worldviews; and how Aboriginal worldviews can inform professional programs and practices, including but not limited to the field of education.
River of Life is an online course designed to engage, educate and empower anyone wanting to understand suicide prevention for the Aboriginal communities in Canada.
The prevention of Aboriginal youth suicide is a community effort and therefore the responsibility should not be left to a single person. The front line workers are obviously those directly involved in the health and well being of the youth in their community.
Mental health workers, addiction counsellors, nurses, youth counsellors, community outreach workers and social services personnel are some of those occupations who should be equipped with the skills to identify and enhance the protective factors that will mitigate the risk of suicide.
In addition, we recommend that police, teachers, Friendship Center staff, probation officers, correctional services workers, foster parents, Elders, band council members and clergy also participate.
– Define the three levels of suicide response: Prevention, Intervention and Postvention.
The course is self paced so course duration will depend on the individual participant and their prior knowledge base with the course subject matter. On average, the course will take between 20 – 24 hours to complete.

THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST
/ThePathologicalOptimist
& Cast
Letter from
Brian Deer
Available to Buy or Stream Now
Who is the man behind the most highly controversial, intensely debated topics in modern medicine? In THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST, director Miranda Bailey brings us a character study of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, one of 13 co-authors of a notorious 1998 paper in the UK medical Journal The Lancet, but who became the very public face of what has come to be known as "The Anti-Vax Movement." An expat from Britain who currently resides in Austin, Texas, Wakefield allowed Bailey and her team to follow him and his family for five years beginning in 2011 as he fought a defamation battle in the courts against the British Medical Journal and journalist Brian Deer. The results of that case – and the self-reflection, pronouncements, and observations of Wakefield, his legal team, wife, and his children – create a complex and incisive look at one of our era's most fear-provoking and continuously provocative figures. THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST takes no sides, instead letting Wakefield and the battles he fought speak for themselves.
"I gravitate towards provocative and discussion-making material for most of my films. When I began this journey in 2010, Andrew Wakefield was much less known in the United States than he is now. But those who did know him seemed to have very strong feelings either for or against him. I was curious as to who he was and how he could stand up to such rejection from his peers and such scrutiny in the media regarding his part in the MMR Scandal. As the style of my film evolved, I decided it was not my place to defend Andrew Wakefield, nor was it to condemn him. My interest lies in observance. I asked questions and observed. It is up to the audience to decide what they see. "
– Miranda Bailey, Director
"Highly informative, anger-arousing film."
"Miranda Bailey's documentary focuses on Andrew Wakefield delivering a personal profile that shies away from taking a stand on his controversial theories."
"Wakefield isn't a monster, nor is he a hero. Bailey shows the result of that inability with crystal"
"Carefully modulated portrait"
"A fascinating journey."
"To have had the chance to film a modern-day pariah is something that we do not get very often and to have it in a form like this is just irresistible."
"An engaging story."
"Incredibly thought-provoking."
"Bailey is no novice…She's not easily fooled. And she's not fooled here."
"When something goes wrong and the legal system (or human nature in general) can't or won't justify it, grab a camera and document it for all to experience. The Pathological Optimist follows this rule of thumb."
"…A documentary that most will reject based on the subject material. Honestly, you should avoid doing that. While much has been made of the messaging on both sides of the debate, the Anti-Vax movement is incredibly messy."

Green groups and MPs fight for Repeal Bill amendment
Written by: Editorial Staff | Published: 14 July 2017
Head of Greener UK Amy Mount
Green groups and MPs are working together on a repeal-bill amendment to ensure the environment doesn't come off a poor loser when the UK leaves the EU.
The Great Repeal Bill will eventually end the reign of European law in Britain by repealing the European Communities Act 1972.
But environmental charities in the Greener UK coalition, a team of 13 environmental organisations, and a group of cross-party MPs are concerned the bill will "dilute" laws such as those on clean seawater and beaches and air quality in cities.
They disagree with the government that existing UK mechanisms are enough to replace functions currently carried out by EU agencies and the European Court of Justice.
MPs backing the amendment so far include former Labour Party leader and energy and climate change secretary Ed Miliband and Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas.
Head of Greener UK Amy Mount said: "The key thing is to make sure the bulk of environmental law from the EU is brought over into our domestic law. It's not just about standards, but implementation and enforcement of those standards."
Currently EU agencies play an important role monitoring the state of the environment, checking government compliance with environmental law and enforcing rules by fines or other sanctions.
Mount added: "The worst situation would be if the repeal bill leads to a sloppy conversion process and many elements of environmental protection fall through the cracks."
The amendment seeks to ensure "all existing EU environmental law" is transferred into domestic law, leaving "no opportunity for gaps" in domestic environmental protections.
Greener UK chair Shaun Spiers said: "No one voted for dirtier beaches or worse air quality. The government has promised to bring all environmental protections into domestic law. But laws are only effective when there are strong institutions to enforce them. The ultimate risk of fines imposed by the European Court has led the UK government to clean up its act several times."

Celebrating Eight Sikh Americans We Admire – Huffington Post
Blog, Divided We Fall, Films, Oak Creek, Press, Sikhs, Women
Published by Huffington Post.
HuffPost Religion celebrates the Sikh American community and all of its diverse accomplishments. These eight people have made headlines for a wide variety of achievements, from athletic prowess to human rights leadership. Meet the future of America's Sikh community here:
Prabhjot Singh
Prabhjot Singh, a professor at Columbia University, sustained serious injuries after being subjected to a brutal hate crime attack. In a blog about the incident, his friend Simran Jeet Singh said that "Prabhjot has dedicated his life to serving the underserved," as Director of Systems Management at the Earth Institute as well as within his local Harlem community.
Rather than responding to the attack with anger or hate, Singh said that he wanted to educate his attackers and "invite them where we worship."
During a HuffPost Live interview, he said, "Ultimately I think to simply go out and punish those individuals who have acted out on hate crimes is insufficient. More broadly, we need to have a real national conversation around 'Who looks American? What does it mean to be American?'"
Valarie Kaur is a longtime advocate, writer, filmmaker, and activist for causes of justice that go far beyond the Sikh community. Her documentary Divided We Fall covered post-9/11 hate crimes and inspired a grassroots national dialogue. She also created a short film about the Sikh community in the aftermath of the horrific Oak Creek massacre. She's currently at Auburn Theological seminary as the director of Groundswell, an initiative to empower the multifaith movement for justice.
Waris Ahluwahlia
Waris Ahluwahlia is a talented jewelry designer known for his impeccable sense of style and beautiful creations. He acted in Wes Anderson's film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and lately garnered praise for appearing in a Gap ad campaign with artist and film-maker Quentin Jones.
The ad quickly went viral when someone vandalized it with bigoted graffiti, causing Gap to change its Twitter background to the picture of Ahluwahlia in a show of solidarity. The incident showed the importance of mainstream media representation for minority communities as many Sikhs expressed their appreciation for Gap.
Amrit Singh is a civil rights lawyer known for being one of the fiercest U.S. critics of the torture and abuse of prisoners under the Bush administration. Her report, Globalizing Torture: CIA Secret Detention and Extraordinary Rendition, is considered the most comprehensive account to date of human rights abuses associated with secret detentions. She is the senior legal officer for national security and counterterrorism at the Open Society Justice Initiative.
Vishavjit Singh
Vishavjit Singh drew smiles and laughs when he dressed up as Captain America and roamed the streets of New York. The cartoonist of Sikhtoons.com challenged expectations about superheroes and national entity with his awesome costume.
He wrote in Salon, "If I had stereotyped the world the way it may see me in my turban and beard, I would never have walked out as Captain America. Stop projecting your insecurities. There are many good people all over America despite the political labels we wear."
Balpreet Kaur
Balpreet Kaur was named Huffington Post's 'Person Of The Year' In 2012 for her amazing and thoughtful response to a Redditor who posted a picture of her online in order to make fun of her appearance. Her comments caused the original poster to have a total change of heart and publicly apologize.
Yes, I'm a baptized Sikh woman with facial hair. Yes, I realize that my gender is often confused and I look different than most women. However, baptized Sikhs believe in the sacredness of this body – it is a gift that has been given to us by the Divine Being [which is genderless, actually] and, must keep it intact as a submission to the divine will… When I die, no one is going to remember what I looked like, heck, my kids will forget my voice, and slowly, all physical memory will fade away. However, my impact and legacy will remain: and, by not focusing on the physical beauty, I have time to cultivate those inner virtues and hopefully, focus my life on creating change and progress for this world in any way I can.
Major Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi
In 2009, Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi became the first Sikh allowed to serve on active duty in the U.S. army with a turban, beard and unshorn hair in more than twenty years. The emergency room doctor petitioned Congress for two years before the Army allowed him a religious exemption. Now, he hopes to rescind the strict rules that prevent some observant Sikhs from serving, as not all of them are granted religious exemptions like Kalsi.
He told the New York Times, "Asking a person to choose between religion and country, that's not who we are as a nation. We're better than that. We can be Sikhs and soldiers at the same time."
Darsh Singh
Darsh Singh is the NCAA's first turbaned Sikh American basketball player. He ended his senior year at Trinity University as co-captain of the team.
He told the Huffington Post, "When I reflect on how hard my parents worked and hard their parents worked to support my life here in America, I feel extremely thankful. Our generation stands on the shoulders of the giants who came before us. I'm looking forward to the future and how the Sikh community can achieve at even higher levels in the future."

For approximately the past year, I have been involved in bringing a new personalization solution to market. The official name is SAP Screen Personas. You may have seen it at SAP TechEd last month.
While customers have long been able to modify SAP screens to improve end-user efficiency, this process has traditionally required advanced programming skills. And, most personalization projects typically take weeks or months to complete. SAP Screen Personas now allows personalization without programming. In fact, a business user with PowerPoint skills can create an attractive SAP screen in minutes.
Let's take a step back and define what we are talking about. SAP Screen Personas is a browser-based rendering engine for classic SAP Dynpro screens. The Dynpro rendering technology comprises well over half the screens in the Business Suite. SAP Screen Personas keeps the back-end transaction processing infrastructure in place but provides consumer-grade personalization features that improve the visual appeal, end-user productivity, and performance of SAP.
SAP start screen personalized for contract administrators at a medical device company.
SAP Screen Personas helps IT Managers simplify business application screens quickly and easily for business users, allowing them to access only the data they need to transact business. This translates into increased business user productivity, a more satisfying user experience, reduced training time for SAP users, and lower cost of personalizing SAP screens.

It's great to see some people thinking not about replacing SAPGUI but making it better.
8:( wonderful user experience : I have tried a long comment (20 lines) …. and I have got a SQL – Apache error message (that's against the basic principle of a good user experience).
Sometimes I am wondering …….
I was in TechEd but I have found on the web some copy of the presentations used during this event.
In this page it would be useful to add the 1 or 2 slides which does position Personas vs Type of User.
I must admit I am still confused on the product positioning (prgmatic, tactical vs strategic).
The VA0x example given adds to the confusion as it is one the most common SAP transactions.
Based on my personal understanding of SAP direction, I would have expected that SAP would work to revamp the User Experience with the publicized strategic approach : WDA – NWBC – FPM – SidePannel.
The other question I have : we see a strong push on User Centric Design (I prefer this wording vs DT). To desing screens to enable a good user experience requires some dedicated skill.
Question : do you position this tool a pragmatic one for IT to design a better user experience or do you position it as an end user tool ? Does it mean UCD is so easy that end user can do it on their one ?

Before I tell you how I came up with the idea to make 3D printed headpieces, let me tell you why I have a knack and passion for creating fashion items. I was born and raised in Siberia, Russia. My grandmother was an entrepreneur and had her own fur hat business. She would purchase rigid, untreated fur at the farm, soften it and make fur hats all by hand, and sell them at the local market in the freezing weather. Her hard work and dedication instilled in me a high level of discipline and commitment to pursuing my goals. My mom was an ENT doctor but she would also sew hats at night and on the weekends to supplement her income and support my older brother and I. She was a single mother. Enduring hardship early on in life made me appreciate the little things so much more and be grateful for all the abundance, comfort, and prosperity that I've created for myself. When I immigrated to the States at 19 years old all by myself, I was unstoppable in achieving things others could only dream of. It felt like nothing could hamper my personal and emotional growth and success. Then, the recession hit, and it became extremely difficult to survive, and, without the support of my family, it was that much harder to make ends meet. (Skype didn't exist back then…we would go for months without even talking to each other) I got a Master's degree in Marketing and Business, followed by a job as a marketing executive at a restaurant in LES, NY. Then, I decided to start my own fashion line to challenge myself. Boy, did I find that challenge and met my fair share of disappointment along the way. All of the mishaps and failures on my path were huge learning experiences. I realized that the fashion industry is run by (for the most part) big egos, and fortunes are made by child labor and overworked, underpaid people in third world countries; it's the industry that completely disregards the environment and wastes precious resources of those countries while producing disposable clothes that do not disintegrate naturally and create enormous amounts of waste. Many fast fashion retailers were able to hook people with super effective marketing messages that subconsciously forced them to crave more, buy more, and worry about the next big trend. I was faced with a conscientious and moral crisis. I lost my drive to make clothes and decided to get back into marketing so that I could help people establish an online presence and pursue their passion to create sustainable products, ease our CO2 footprint, and make the world a better, kinder place.
The Burning Man experience completely changed the outlook I had on life. I realized how much potential we have to change things and how collectively powerful we can be by spreading love and sharing passion for sustainable living, spirituality, and mindfulness. A couple of years later my dear husband and I attended BM inspired parties here in NYC and something clicked: I realized that all of these people need headpieces, because it's the hardest thing to make for a complete look and the few people that do cater to Burners make the headpieces very cumbersome and uncomfortable to wear. The lead times for hand made headpieces are very long and designers cannot make enough headgear for all of the festival-goers. With the rise of 3D technology, I decided to give it a try and the very first piece we made was a complete success. It fit perfectly and was durable, lightweight and looked stunning. I was ecstatic because working with and making something special for Burners or any festival-goers is a dream come true. In addition, bypassing traditional fashion production made it so much more pleasant and fun adding peace of mind to the process. I always considered myself a geek, and, now, I work with legit technology geeks to make fun, creative headpieces come alive. I hit the nail right on the head. Sometimes, when things do not seem to work out, consider that the world is taking you to your goals on a detour and enjoy the journey itself.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates took aim at cryptocurrencies during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session Tuesday – much to the ire of some social-media commentators.
Naturally, the crypto world was not impressed by this answer.
Reactions on Twitter immediately began dissecting the response on both semantic and technical grounds.
Venture capitalist Anthony Pompliano pointed out that cryptocurrencies are not strictly anonymous, and said the same concerns Gates stated could be applied to traditional fiat currencies.
"He spewed the normal nonsense about funding terrorism & money laundering," Pompliano said of Gates.
A moderator of the /r/bitcoin subreddit provided a more detailed response, pointing out that "the main feature of cryptocurrencies is their immutability and their ability to support trustless transactions," rather than anonymity.
Know-your-client and anti-money laundering laws also make it difficult for users to anonymously cash out their cryptocurrency holdings, which should discourage the purchase of illegal goods, the user said.
Other users simply laughed. Neeraj Agrawal, Coin Center's head of communications, joked that Gates was a "broke nocoiner," while @WhalePanda said the billionaire had joined the "old man yells at bitcoin" list.
User @DanDarkPill identified a positive use case for bitcoin, telling Gates that he had bought a banana.
This is not the first time Gates has criticized cryptocurrencies for lacking transparency.
He was more cautious in 2015, saying that while he saw the potential for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin to make a huge impact, he did not think bitcoin specifically would become a payment system of the future.

Cyclist reaches 85.71 mph on way to human-powered speed world record
By Nick Lavars
Cyclist reaches 85.71 mph on w...
AeroVelo engineering has had this very record in their sights for some time
Eta was expected to offer around a one percent improvement on performance compared to its predecessor
Todd Reichart recovers after his record-breaking run
Aboard an enclosed recumbent bicycle in Nevada today, Canadian Todd Reichart has claimed the world record for human powered speed. The annual World Human Powered Speed Challenge draws cyclists from around the world seeking to push the limits of pedal-powered motion, but it was the 33-year-old who left the competition in his wake to clock a top speed of 85.71 mph (137.9 km/h).
Reichart and his team at AeroVelo engineering have had this very record in their sights for some time. In June last year the team announced its plans to set a new human-powered speed record, which stood at 83.1 mph (133.8 km/h) at the time courtesy of a 26-year-old Dutch rider named Sebastiaan Bowler.
And AeroVelo's confidence in approaching this objective was pretty well-founded, having proven its credentials in the realm of human-powered vehicles in the years previous. In 2011, its Vortex bicycle achieved a speed of 72.6 mph (116.9 km/h), a new land speed record for college-built and college-piloted vehicles. It has even ventured into aviation, developing what it describes as the first working human-powered ornithopter and also winning the Sikorsky Prize in 2013 with its Atlas human-powered helicopter.
So with this considerable momentum behind it, AeroVelo set about crafting a vehicle capable of propelling it even further into the record books. Dubbed Eta, a Greek letter often referenced in engineering as the symbol for efficiency, the bike to take them there would be an upgrade of a 2012 version called Bluenose.
The pilot sits in the recumbent position, with their legs out in front of them, in an enclosed capsule crafted with aerodynamics as a driving principle. Using a camera mounted to the top of the vehicle and a video monitor to see ahead, Eta was expected to offer around a one percent improvement on performance compared to its predecessor, according to the team's computer simulations.
Despite its meticulous planning, all didn't go to plan for the AeroVelo team come race day, with the first qualifying heat seeing Eta topple over on launch and damaging a front fairing. It then sat out the second heat while repairs were made, in time for Reichart to enter the third and the rest is history.
The course for the event consists of a 5 mile (8 km) run-up section for the pilots to build speed before a 218 yard (200 m) section on which they are judged. Reichart covered this distance in just 5.22 seconds, beating Bowler's previous record by 2.58 mph (4.152 km/h).

At the speed, 2mph is a huge gain. So CONGRATULATIONS! I wonder if the aerodynamics could be improved by adding dimples, like a golf ball. The gentlemen at Mythbusters tried it on a large sedan and it looked like the idea had merit. It might be interesting to try on such a one-off purpose-built vehicle.
Island Architect September 18, 2015 12:36 PM
This is wonderful and congratulations! Apparently clean thinking from top to bottom. And I wonder how it compares with the cyclist in the 1910's who raced behind a train and hit a very high speed with the train solving the wind resistance problem with a fairing. They placed boards on the tracks over the ties and between the rails. He came close to 100mph. Bill
Douglas Bennett Rogers September 18, 2015 06:05 PM
The draft record was around 134 mph about 20 years ago. This is a totally different proposition.

Look like a mini coffin not a bike!!
BZD September 19, 2015 08:14 AM
Amazing how far the tech has been pushed in this competiton. The bikes are of course just as useless as the rocket cars used for the land speed record, but the knowledge gained is not. @phissith It certainly would a coffin in regular traffic. If you look for it you'll find a video from a previous year where another contestants falls over, slides a really long way and eventually slides into a car parked next to the road. No injury occurred afaik, but it certainly was not pleasant.
Paul Gracey September 21, 2015 03:18 PM
As one who has been a volunteer at 15 of the 16 of these events held, let me clear up some misconceptions.@BZD: These bikes are built using Carbon Fiber and Kevlar. We have had a number of spectacular crashes over the years and the shell of the bike is often more protective of the rider than his helmet within it. Our safety rules now prohibit cars anywhere near the road, and the crash that occurred this year after a timed speed over 80 mph left not a mark on the rider, though the bike needs a lot of work to be ride-able once again. @ Eric_D: "Mile a Minute Murphy" did indeed go almost 100...Kph or 60 Miles per hour. @ Island Architect: I admire "Mythbusters" too, but automobiles are quite a long way back from the remarkable aerodynamics in use in these bikes, or even most Bonneville type race cars that add scads of horsepower to the equations governing top speed. Because of the limitations of human power, these bikes have the aerodynamic drag of just one of an automobile's two wing mirrors, or even less. Dimples are just really good for golf balls and other blunt objects.

Oxen to move Brownington School House
Published on August 3, 2016 in Brownington/News by Dispatch Media
BROWNINGTON — On Monday morning, August 8, 20 teams of oxen will be hitched to the 30 by 40 foot two-story building that served as the first secondary school in Orleans County, to help pull it back up the road 1/3 mile to the site where it was built in 1823.
Spectators are welcome to come watch this reenactment of the way many buildings were moved in the past.
Moving buildings from place to place was such a common practice that there are very few pictures or accounts on how they did it, however, in the early days, oxen provided the power.
Messier House Moving from East Montpelier will be managing the move, which will meld new methods with the old. The building will be up on wheeled carriages, not rolling on logs, and there will be supplemental power to move the building into the road, and then off the road to its new foundation.
The 20 teams of oxen should be able to pull the building on its 1/3 mile journey up the Hinman Settler Road.
The oxen will gather on Sunday, August 7, at the Old Stone House Museum, where there will be activities, an exhibit on oxen history, and practice hitching the teams together.
Visitors are welcome to come from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to learn about oxen and watch them work. The blacksmith shop will be forging yoke hardware, including "jingle-bobs," which link the chains from the teams ahead and behind together.
After the move, the jingle bobs used in this historic event will be sold to benefit the continuing work of restoring and improving the building.
Phase two of the project includes building a replica of the original bell tower, with stairs from the basement to the second floor, which will meet the fire code requirement of providing a second exit on the opposite side of the room. The porch will be replaced on the back side to accommodate a handicapped ramp.
The Orleans County Historical Society is continuing to raise money through donations and grants to bring the building home and restore it.
With the return of the Grammar School, the neighborhood, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, will return to the way it was during the time of Alexander Twilight, the brilliant and charismatic head master, who in 1836 built the Old Stone House as a dormitory for the school.
Alexander Twilight was racially mixed, and is now known to have been the first person of African American heritage to graduate from an American College and the first to be elected to public office. After Twilight's death in 1857, the Orleans County Grammar School was moved from its original location to the middle of Brownington Village in 1869.
People who would like to watch this historic move on Monday morning are advised to arrive by 9 a.m., to park and walk to viewing areas. The electricity will be turned off at 8 a.m., and then final communication lines will go down.
After the line crews have finished their work, the oxen will be led down to the building and hitched up. The move will start at about 10 a.m., and could take from 20 minutes to an hour.
Handicapped drop-off and parking will be from Brownington Center up Old Stone House Road to Prospect Hill.
On Monday, the day of the move, the Old Stone House Museum and antique equipment barns, with the special oxen exhibit, will be open. There will be kettle coffee and doughnuts, pie, and lunch available.

Q: Proper error propagation in clojure I'm currently working on my first major project in clojure and have run into a question regarding coding style and the most "clojure-esque" way of doing something. Basically I have a  function I'm writing which takes in a data structure and a template that the function will try to massage the data structure into. The template structure will look something like this:
{
:key1 (:string (:opt :param))
:key2 (:int (:opt :param))
:key3 (:obj (:tpl :template-structure))
:key4 (:list (:tpl :template-structure))
}

Each key is an atom that will be searched for in the given data structure, and it's value will be attempted to be matched to the type given in the template structure. So it would look for :key1 and check that it's a string, for instance. The return value would be a map that has :key1 pointing to the value from the given data structure (the function could potentially change the value depending on the options given).
In the case of :obj it takes in another template structure, and recursively calls itself on that value and the template structure, and places the result from that in the return. However, if there's an error I want that error returned directly.
Similarly for lists I want it to basically do a map of the function again, except in the case of an error which I want returned directly.
My question is what is the best way to handle these errors? Some simple exception handling would be the easiest way, but I feel that it's not the most functional way. I could try and babysit the errors all the way up the chain with tons of if statements, but that also doesn't seem very sporting. Is there something simple I'm missing or is this just an ugly problem?

A: You might be interested in schematic, which does pretty similar stuff. You can see how it's used in the tests, and the implementation.
Basically I defined an error function, which returns nil for correctly-formatted data, or a string describing the error. Doing it with exceptions instead would make the plumbing easier, but would make it harder to get the detailed error messages like "[person: [first_name: expected string, got integer]]".


The Texas Alliance predicted that the first drop in oil prices last year would lead to 40,000 to 50,000 layoffs in Texas.
Fellow Canadian pipeline company TransCanada says that it will be issuing pink slips as well.
According to Graves & Co., an industry consultant, oil and gas companies have laid off more than 250,000 workers around the world, a tally that will rise if oil prices remain in the dumps.
"I was surprised it's gotten this far," Graves & Co.'s John Graves told Bloomberg in an interview. In an eye-catching statistic that highlights who exactly is bearing the brunt of the downturn, Graves says that oilfield service companies account for 79% of the job losses.
Still, upstream E&P companies are also being substantially squeezed by another plunge in oil prices. According to an analysis by the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, a new round of layoffs could be underway in Texas, for example. The Texas Alliance predicted that the first drop in oil prices last year would lead to 40,000 to 50,000 layoffs in Texas.
But the renewed drop since the end of the summer could force many more cuts. Right now, the group is putting a conservative estimate at 56,000 job cuts so far, but they say the real tally is probably higher.
Beyond oilfield services and E&Ps are not the only ones feeling the heat. Pipeline companies are also starting to lay off workers as well. Last week Enbridge confirmed that it was laying off 500 workers and leaving 100 positions unfilled, according to the Financial Post. The job losses account for about 5 percent of Enbridge's North American workforce.
Fellow Canadian pipeline company TransCanada says that it will be issuing pink slips as well. While TransCanada confirmed that it would cut payroll, it declined to put an exact number on how many people would lose their jobs.
TransCanada, reeling from the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, is struggling to get several major pipeline projects through the permitting phase, although it just won the go-ahead to build a large natural gas pipeline in Mexico.
Tags: Graves & Co, oil jobs, oil price, The Yexas Alliance, TransCanada pipelines.
Sure you are, oops there goes another flying pig. HaHa PMSL, and what are you actually hiring hookers?
On the other hand low oil prices helps many other company's who will in turn hire these workers.

Two twilight troubadours: Dusk-singing cicadas and katydids
Aug 10, 2020 admin Uncategorized
Gorgeous annual cicadas chorus in daytime and evening on toasty summer days.
By rapidly vibrating tymbal organs of each side of their abdomen, cicadas produce otherworldly songs.
Last week a friend inquired about all of the racket created by unseen insects as scorching days melted into somewhat less scorching nights here in the DMV. Near sunset as we enter the twilight zone, shrill daytime calls of several species of annual, a.k.a dog-day, cicadas are replaced by the courtship serenades of hopeful dusk-calling male cicadas and male katydids. Specific frequencies, amplitudes, and tonal patterns are used not only for species recognition, but also by females of each species to decide who will be the father of their nymphs. The winners of the entomological version of 'The Voice' win the right to mate and thereby move on to the finals evolutionarily, so to speak. Cicadas produce sound by vibrating a membranous, drumhead-like organ on the sides of their abdomen called a tymbal. The enlarged and mostly hollow abdomen of the cicada acts as an amplification chamber producing vibrations of 100 decibels, one of the loudest sounds in the animal world.
Watch as an annual cicada scales a tree before taking flight to the canopy. The abdomen of a daytime-singing cicada vibrates as he woos his mate. Leaf-mimicking angle-wing katydids are common in our area. Grooming appears to be an important part of the daily routine. To hear the gentle call of the greater angle-wing katydid, please click on this link. http://songsofinsects.com/katydids/greater-anglewing
The dark chambers on the front legs of the katydid collect vibrations in the air enabling it to hear the calls of other katydids.
Katydids use a very different anatomical mechanism to create sound. The katydid's remarkable musical anatomy includes a forewing with a series of teeth called the file and an opposing forewing with a scraper. When the file moves across the scraper, vibrations reverberate across the wing – the song of the katydid. The common true katydid, Pterophylla camellifolia, creates an amplification chamber by bowing its forewings to help resonate its call. The result is one of the loudest and most easily recognized of all katydid songs.
So, if the guys are singing their hearts out, female cicadas and katydids must be able to hear their songs, right? Right! Both male and female cicadas have membranes called tympana on their abdomen that enable them to detect vibrations. The auditory organs or "ears" of katydids are located inside chambers of the front of their forelegs. How strange. As the dreadfully hot summer day transitions to evening, listen for the calls of the dusk singing cicada and enjoy his attempts to woo a mate in the treetops. And as twilight transitions to dark, when the songs of cicadas' end, soon will begin the chorus of the katydids, serenades of six-legged summer romances.
"Songs of Insects" by Lang Elliott and Wil Hershberger, the wonderful Songs of Insects website, and "The mechanics of sound production in Panacanthus pallicornis (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae): the stridulatory motor patterns" by Fernando Montealegre-Z and Andrew C. Mason were used as references for this episode. Special thanks to Jen Franciotti for providing the inspiration for this episode.

Dakar's youth wrestle with ethnic gulfs
Lutte avec frappe: A mix of traditional wrestling and bare knuckle boxing has caught the public's attention and drives the wrestlers' dreams of wealth and fame.
"On my mother's side I'm Diola. That's why I'm a good wrestler. Well, actually my family is Socé from Sédhiou, in Casamance. Before my next fight, I want to go to Casamance to solicit prayers from the marabouts [holy men] there."
It came as something of a surprise to me when Omar, an aspiring Senegalese wrestler I had come to know during my fieldwork, revealed to me his Casamançais ancestry. Of course, there was nothing surprising about the fact itself.
Dakar's ever-expanding suburban areas are populated by people who have moved to the capital from all over Senegal as part of an ongoing rural exodus since the mid-20th century. There are Diola and Mandinka from Casamance, Peulh from the Senegal River valley, Sereer from the Saloum Delta and Wolof from the country's interior, to name just some of the groups that make up Dakar's complex ethnic landscape. What was surprising to me was that Omar himself brought up the topic.
Among young Dakarois, ethnicity often appears to be a somewhat vague category that they rarely mention. It is less central to urban identity than, say, religious affiliation or place of residence. In other words, the district in which one lives today is more significant than the village where one's parents or grandparents were born.
Observers have suggested that urbanisation in this West African country has been accompanied by processes of de-ethnicisation and Wolofisation. Urbanites adopt "Dakar Wolof" — a French-influenced Wolof dialect — as their lingua franca and develop urban ways of life that blur boundaries of ethnic differentiation.
For young men like Omar and his friends, these urban ways of life are a source of pride and a key part of their identity. Being from the "ghetto" — as they often refer to their neighbourhood on the fringes of Dakar's sprawling commuter zone — gives them a sense of toughness, urban knowledge and a style that eludes their rural cousins.
In such representations, the city is portrayed as a site of modernity and progress, a gateway to the world — albeit one where morality is at risk. Conversely, village life is considered backward and underdeveloped, while simultaneously venerated as the site of "pure" language, "pure" culture — and also "pure" wrestling.
Wrestling is popularly presented as Senegal's national sport and is considered to be a shared heritage of Senegambian peoples (from the area of West Africa between the Senegal and Gambia rivers). Yet today it comes in a variety of forms. These include Olympic wrestling, numerous styles of "traditional" wrestling and the commercially popular lutte avec frappe, loosely translated as "wrestling with punches".
It is a hybrid sport that combines elements of traditional wrestling with bareknuckle boxing.
It is this discipline that has succeeded in capturing the attention of the Senegalese public. This style provides young men like Omar and his teammates with dreams of lucrative careers. It is this dream of wealth and success that drives the wrestling boom in Dakar.
When the first wrestling associations, known as écuries, were established in Dakar, ethnicity and geographical provenance were the main organisational principle: écurie Sereer, écurie Diola, écurie Halpulaar, écurie Baol and écurie Walo each brought together wrestlers of a specific ethnic group or historical region.
Only the écuries of Pikine and Fass defied this logic in grouping together athletes from a specific area of Dakar. Today, however, this form of organisation dominates and the associations are generally multiethnic. At the same time, other ethnically specific elements of wrestling — notably the bakk or self-praise singing — have been gradually erased from the sport. Contemporary wrestling in Senegal is now a professionalised commercial sport dependent on individual stars who are widely seen as aspirational celebrities.
The famous wrestler Mohammed "Tyson" Ndao did much to popularise the image of the wrestler as an entrepreneurial self-made man. Fashioning his image on that of his boxing namesake, he engaged heavily in marketing and commercial activities. He promoted himself as an icon of youthful rebellion.
Wrestling's development from a village pastime to an urban and entrepreneurial pursuit has led to a commercial explosion of the sport since the 1990s. Still, ethnicity has not completely disappeared. It surfaces in discourses of physical qualities associated with wrestlers of specific groups. Political and economic alliances are forged along ethnic lines between wrestlers and patrons.
Ethnicity features in narratives of predestination, in which wrestlers from specific ethnic backgrounds — especially Diola and Sereer — claim that wrestling is "in their blood". Ethnically specific clothing, objects or cultural performances are displayed at fights. Magico-religious powers are also associated with wrestlers of certain ethnicities — again, especially Diola and Sereer.
Established star wrestlers regularly evoke their ethnic provenance in the build-up to big fights. As in any other sport, young hopefuls are quick to copy their idols.
Omar's (technically incorrect) insistence on his Diola heritage was just one of several examples I came across during my fieldwork of young wrestlers who refer to ethnicity to strengthen their claims of athletic prowess.
Another young wrestler, Modou, would regularly tell me that his Sereer heritage meant that wrestling was an ancestral calling. He said he was unable to follow another path in life. Ama, an aspiring wrestler from the city of Pikine, visited his mother's Sereer village for the first time after starting to train. He told me that he has sought out the services of Sereer marabouts and diviners ever since, thus reconnecting with the belief system of his grandparents.
There is a shared motif in these stories. Young men who do not seem to have grown up with a clearly defined ethnic identity return to paradigms of ethnic difference to strengthen their identities as wrestlers. In the context of urbanisation and Wolofisation in Dakar, this seems almost paradoxical. In the context of a professionalised sport and an increasingly globalised society, even more so.
This return to ethnicity disrupts commonly held assumptions about rural and urban relations. It also calls into question the nature of Senegal's modernities. In addition, it poses a challenge to Senegalese nationalism: Does the presence of an ethnic discourse within the sporting arena threaten the notion of the multiethnic nation state?
It is impossible to address these questions adequately without further inquiry into the state of ethnic relations and discourses in society at large — particularly in politics, where accusations of ethnic favouritism are never far away.
At the very least, one might conclude from these observations that sport can intervene in social dynamics in surprising ways. The re-ethnicisation of wrestling leads us to reconsider what we mean when we speak of a national sport and a traditional sport — and by extension, the very categories of tradition and nationhood. — theconversation.com

Q: Windows Management Infrastructure Provider in C# Is it possible to create a Windows MI provider in C#? All the sample code I have found so far is in C. There is sample code for MI clients in C#, but not providers. If anyone has a link to any samples or discussions on how to do this, I would be greatly appreciative.

A: A Google search for "wmi in c# examples" produced this:
Sample C# code for using the latest WMI classes to manage Windows Storage
It may be worth a scan to see if it gives you the clues you require.
Edit:
Sorry, you said providers... curses!
I should have pointed you to this
Apologies.
BTW, that came from googling "wmi providers in c# examples" so I don't understand why you didn't find it.

About I C Mosaics
I C Mosaics is the "Go-to for How-to" when it comes to mosaics. Founded by Lou Ann Weeks in 2008, a mosaic artist since 2001, and before that she worked in stained glass, pottery and macrame. Lou Ann began to teach mosaics in 2007 and has freely and generously shared her experience and knowledge. That has led to I C Mosaics becoming one of the most visited art education sites in the world according to Google.
She studied with Eric Rattan, Sonja King, and completed the Master Mosaico program at the Orsoni School in Venice, Italy. Eric taught her to "think big." As a result she has made the largest mosaic installations in the State of Florida (her home state). Her mosaic "Family" was selected for display at Peace Arch Park on the US-Canada border. She has fulfilled commissions to make mosaic wall art for private collections in the USA and abroad, installations for homes, and public art. She has been a teacher for Society of American Mosaic Artists and numerous other classes.
Lou Ann developed the Mosaic Art Learning System after helping thousands of people who had taken mosaic courses but weren't taught how to make any mosaic they wanted to make. It is a revolutionary way to teach mosaics, but built on the principles used to teach many other skill sets. It teaches students how to use a collection of techniques to make any mosaic they want to make. The system uses downloadable videos that the students own.
Along with her husband Wallace, Lou Ann co-founded Skeew, a mosaic supply company and sister to I C Mosaics. Skeew manufactures and distributes direct to mosaic artists a large variety of backers, self-adhesive fiberglass mesh, and Skeewpicks.
I C Mosaics has created The Tribe, the first ever online platform to make it easier to become a better mosaic artist. It facilitates peer-to-peer help, communication and the development of friendships among mosaic artists. I C Mosaics Tribe provides a free digital library of ebooks and videos, online events, expert help, and discounts on supplies and education.

It's a G Thing
Just a girl. Her name is Gretchen. A day in the life of an American girl.
Just Let Me -- G -- Indoctrinate You!
Home Girl
G MAIL
G COMPANY
G TEA
It's All Pageantry Thing
Dear America,
you know what...
people need to stop and pay attention to The Donald -- and mind you, not in a good way.
As much as many of Americans find his grandiose ideas on immigration and 'making America great again' awfully refreshing, let me assure you -- he is Trouble with a capital T.
Want to know what a President Trump might do?
Anything he wants -- come hook or by crook, come boot or by loot, come the light of day or the cover of night.
Whether progressive left or progressive right, don't fool yourselves -- it's all bad.
So in the latest news, Trump tells Fox News ".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future,"
[thank you, Politico]
waaaah
little old donny booboo cries boohoo and throws a tantrum
And Fox replied:
"At 11:45am today, we canceled Donald Trump's scheduled appearance on The O'Reilly Factor on Thursday, which resulted in Mr. Trump's subsequent tweet about his 'boycott' of FOX News," the statement reads. "The press predictably jumped to cover his tweet, creating yet another distraction from any real issues that Mr. Trump might be questioned about. When coverage doesn't go his way, he engages in personal attacks on our anchors and hosts, which has grown stale and tiresome. He doesn't seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country."[again,thank you, Politico]
"When coverage doesn't go his way"....look out.
Let's review:
What happened when NBC cancelled ties with The Donald over his derogatory, yet completely honest, aired opinion about illegal immigrants crossing the border, and thereby ceasing all relations with him and even deciding not to air the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, as well as, replacing The Donald in the reality show, The Apprentice? Well the Trump party threatened to sue everybody, including Univision, and ending up buying the rights to the Miss Universe organization and all of it's pageantry, entirely.
Tweeting: "Just purchased NBC's half of The Miss Universe Organization and settled all lawsuits against them. Now own 100% -- stay tuned!"
[AND THEN HE SOLD IT within about a week!]
Do you remember what The Donald asked of CNN just a few weeks before the presidential debate?
"While I refuse to brag, and as you know very well, this tremendous increase in viewer interest and advertising is due 100% to 'Donald J. Trump,'" Trump wrote."I believe that all profits from this broadcast should go to various VETERANS groups, a list of which I will send to you in the near future,"
Nice thought, but really now, telling a company what to do with it's own profits?
And here's a good one:
"I won't take even one dollar. I'm totally giving up my salary if I become president." it's awfully nice, but...
CEO's ....look out:
"It does bug me," Trump said. "It's very hard if you have a free enterprise system to do anything about that. You know, the boards of companies are supposed to do it, but I know companies very well and the CEO puts in all of his friends...""You see these guys making these enormous amounts of money, and it's a total and complete joke," Trump said....…"We're going to be reducing taxes for the middle class. But for the hedge fund guys, they're going to be paying up,"
"It's very hard if you have a free enterprise system to do anything about that"....he says, but when I'm president.....never mind how I profited all through the years...I will fix that.
'Redistribution of Wealth, come to papa,' he might as very well say in his next noxious breath.
The thing is,
America has fallen in love with another hope and change hoax.
Trump is a shyster, just as Barack Hussein Obama is a shyster.
Trump is a manipulator, just as Barack Hussein Obama is a manipulator.
Trump is an American deviant, just as Barack Hussein Obama is an American deviant. [aww, am i being too harsh.....really? truth bites, doesn't it]
Trump is a user, a pusher, a player, a preacher, a con....yes, just as Barack Hussein Obama is a User, a Pusher, a Player, a Preacher, a Con.
And we are all in Trouble with a Capital T if we continue to be lulled, and mocked, and nudged, and led to believe this Trump guy is anything else but. His intentions are not pure; he is not fit whether he comes free or scot-free...it's all pageantry.
Stop the nonsense people; stop following along -- or, to put into words more amenable to the prevailing mindset -- move on dot org.
Make it a Good Day, G

G Speaking to You
Everything we do today will fall into the hands of our children. This isn't anything new, of course. But today, more than ever, we must recognize our inherent birthright to live responsibly as caretakers of the Earth, our America and each other.
It requires us to be forever mindful of the essential pillars of character, as handed down from our Founding Fathers, as it is written in our Constitution, the Bill of Rights and emboldened fervently in our Declaration of Independence. This isn't taught in school, so we must teach our children...
We each have a duty not only to this country but deep down in ourselves, to becoming responsible, independent, loving people who thrive in the creation of a rich and fruitful life, a life we can be proud to pass down to future generations.
When observing your personal efforts with respect to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, to whom do you serve? To whom does our Government serve, if not directly to the American people?
Government is not making our life better and we must wake up and be a part of doing something about it.


Sometimes you get lucky, googling to find a good restaurant in a new city you're unfamiliar with. I certainly did. We had our Thanksgiving Feast at Terra American Bistro. My research told me it was a good choice and I was not disappointed. Chef and owner Jeff Rossman, author of From Terra's Table is a wonderful cook who puts the emphasis on fresh,organic,and flavorful ingredients. If you are a foodie, once you check out his website and blog, you'll easily become addicted. But first things first.
As you may have surmised from my previous blog entry, we started out in Los Angeles and initially spent the night in Marina Del Rey near my oldest friend and former college roommate Barbara, who recently got married.
By chance, we ended up eating our dinner in a restaurant just a few steps away from my stupid incident when I tripped in the parking lot near Venice Beach on our first college visiting trip. The beach access was in walking distance of where we were staying, and this time round we had a relaxing walk on the beach before picking up daughter Alex at the Fullerton train station.
After we completed our drive south to San Diego and settled in at the motel on Shelter Island, I tried swimming for the first time since my "equestrian accident". Taking long slow strokes in the pool felt good and I was careful to limit my efforts (I'm used to swimming repetitive laps) before switching over to the jacuzzi where the jets on my back and neck felt exquisite as long as I kept a certain distance. For dinner, we wanted to see more of the city and went to visit the Gas Light district in downtown San Diego. After much debate, we decided to dine at Madam Cora's Marble Room Kitchen and Saloon.. The entertainment, a jazz vocalist and pianist accompanied by a drummer, was about to begin. It was still Happy Hour and the food was good.
Thanksgiving Day we walked all around Shelter Island and borrowed a dog to try and confuse son Christopher who recently adopted a dog named Halo. Halo joined his household on Thanksgiving and Chris is thankful to have her, but I felt left out because I'm still waiting to adopt a new puppy or dog until my back is a little stronger. Thus husband Peter, the jokester, thought up the joke and a cooperative passerby was happy to lend a hand.
We could have chosen a lot of different things off the fixed menu at Terra American Bistro, but we all opted for the Rosemary & Thyme Roasted Turkey with gravy made from local mushrooms served with sourdough walnut stuffing, cranberry pine relish, braised savoy cabbage, and country smashed white cheddar potatoes. First course was a carmelized fennel and bib lettuce salad with roasted butternut squash, wild rice, and dried cranberries. Dessert was an apple persimmon cobbler, chocolate tart, and maple cheesecake. Yes, it was awesome, although I missed sons Justin (who had no Thanksgiving in Singapore) and Chris. I am, however, thankful everyone is well and pursuing their dreams. Before the sun completely set, we made a visit to Coronado where we admired the Hotel Coronado from the beach and strolled around the business district of the town.
The following day we walked off all those calories at Balboa Park where we walked several miles before we figured out that we had not parked next to the Zoo. However, we got to see and appreciate all the handsome architecture where numerous museums are located, each requiring at least a half day visit. (Maybe another San Diego vacation is in the future.) The world famous zoo took up the rest of our day. We wisely left the Zoo to eat lunch in Balboa Park and then returned, as a break was sorely needed.
Saturday, we left San Diego early to try and beat the traffic but still got bogged down in gridlock, but by Saturday afternoon we were up in San Luis Obispo admiring Alex's apartment and visiting with Alex's boyfriend Crosby and rabbit Cuttie. Sunday morning we were saying farewell to Alex at the Cowgirl Cafe. A stop in Santa Barbara, where I once lived, gave us an opportunity to enjoy the 80 degree weather and take a walk by the waterfront.
And now it is back to reality which means getting used to cold weather!
