Famous Scottish dancers
Dancing between crossed blades is definitely practiced before definitive battles or as victory dances. Legend has actually it that on the eve of struggle, the Highland chief would call-out the clan's most readily useful performer to dance the sword party. If performer prevented pressing either blade, it absolutely was considered to be an omen that the overnight's fight would end up in the clan's favor. If dancer accidentally kicked the blades apart, tragedy would undoubtedly follow. The practical origins regarding the sword dance can certainly be found in the instruction halls of standard fencing schools, where pupils develop their footwork by following geometric patterns of crosses, squares, and triangles noted out on the ground. Training in in this way would allow the Highland warrior to build up a great deal of dexterity while wielding their cumbersome broadsword.
Sword Dance
Sword dance could also disguise sinister motives: in 1573 Scottish mercenaries are believed to have done the dance for John III, King of Sweden, at a banquet in Stockholm Castle. The dance, an all-natural function of such celebrations, ended up being done included in a plot to assassinate the king, when it comes to conspirators were able to bare their particular tools without increasing suspicion. Luckily for master, the mercenaries caved during the definitive minute and failed to follow through along with their programs.
The sword party along with other Highland dances had been used in the Royal courtroom for festive factors through the entire High Middle Ages and Renaissance as seen in the illustration of Alexander III's wedding dinner. A 1589 reception held for Anne of Denmark at Edinburgh involved these types of entertainment, while James VI enjoyed a performance composed of blend of blade dancing and acrobatics in 1617. Therefore the Incorporation of Skinners and Glovers of Perth exhibited their skill at sword dancing by doing for Charles we in 1633 on a raft drifting regarding the River Tay:
"their Majesty's chair becoming set upon the wall surface next to the Water of Tay whereupon was a floating phase of timber clad about with birks, upon the which for their Majesty's welcome and entry thirteen of our brethren of the calling of Glovers with green hats, silver strings, red ribbons, white footwear and bells upon their particular legs, shearing rapiers within their arms and all sorts of various other abulzements, danced our blade dance with many tough knots and allapallajesse, five being under and five above upon their shoulders, three of those dancing through their particular feet and about them, consuming wine and breaking specs. Which (Jesus be praised) ended up being acted and done without harm or skaith to your."
[Business and Craft Guilds: A Brief History]
Another form of Scottish sword dance requires the Highlander dancing on a targe (a tiny round shield with a metallic increase projecting from its center). This workout has its own beginnings in a Roman military workout in which the man standing on the guard must defend himself and stay upright although some tried to pull it out from under him. Most of the Highland dances now lost to united states had been as soon as done with old-fashioned weapons that included the Lochaber axe, the broadsword, the dirk, together with flail. The words regarding the old Skye dancing song, Buailidh mi thu anns a' cheann, ("I will strike your head") shows that there was some form of weapon play into the music. These dances tend to be pointed out in many (chiefly military) sources, and can even have now been practiced both by two performers in dueling type or as a solo program.
The Highland Fling is regarded as Scotland's earliest associated with the old-fashioned dances. One enchanting principle maintains that upon their victorious return from battlefield, warriors would commemorate by performing this party. Various other concepts hold your party was done before fight, like many forms of blade dances. The performer would flick his legs as he jumped around the targe's razor-sharp increase, to drive away bad spirits lurking into the guard lest they bring him sick fortune into battle. One more custom holds that Highland Fling originated with a young kid which, when asked, cannot discover appropriate terms to explain a stag he'd simply seen to his parent. The son instead danced to convey himself, shaping their hands to resemble the top and antlers of the animal he previously seen.
Highland Dance
Highland dance had been an integral part of the modern Highland Games since their particular revival into the Romantic period, however the selection of dances done at these activities had been deliberately narrowed down for the ease of judges. Therefore whilst the games seem to have fostered and preserved Highland dance, many older dances got lost because no person considered all of them worthwhile to apply, because they were not required for competitors. The type among these displays and competitions also affected the form of the dance itself. Like other dance traditions, Highland dancing is these days a hybrid form that has been constantly switching in accordance with modern aesthetics and interpretations of history. Though some elements might hundreds of years old, various other elements are much more modern. The vast majority of dances today performed in competitions were composed over the past century.
The Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing formed in 1950 as world governing human anatomy of Highland dance. The SOBHD standardized party tips for competition reasons, established the rules for outfit and tournaments, and consistently approve competitions and teachers. Until 1986 just four dances had been exhibited at competitions - the Sword Dance, the Sean Triubhas, the Reel of Tulloch and the Highland Fling. Since then, several other (pre-existing) dances have already been put into your competitors repertoire. "Character dances, " stylized representations of conventional folk party which use moves and music which were adjusted when it comes to theater, through the Sailor's Hornpipe therefore the Irish Jig. The steps associated with Sailor's Hornpipe mimic the daily activities of sailors (hauling line, sliding regarding rollicking deck, etc.), while the Irish Jig is a caricature whoever definition is dependent on the sex of this dancer. If a lady is moving the jig, she portrays a washerwoman chasing away some neighbourhood boys which have dirtied the woman linens. A man dancer, on the other hand, displays their fury at the careless washerwoman who has shrunk his good leather-based breeches by waving his shillelagh at the lady.
National dances, in addition done at Highland Games, had been designed in the early nineteenth century is danced by women, while they were not initially allowed to exercise Highland dances or use kilts. The National dances use softer, much more delicate ballet-like motions, and are carried out in a white gown with a plaid pinned towards the neck. But ladies broke into Highland dance within the belated nineteenth century starting with youthful lady named Jenny Douglas which joined a Highland party competition, as the guidelines couldn't expressly forbid this. How many women taking part in the activity enhanced over the past hundred years. Today, the vast majority of all Highland dancers tend to be feminine, with gents and ladies competing against one another at World Championship, which was held yearly in the Cowal Highland Gathering since 1934. The feminization of people arts is, actually, a common design within the gentrification procedure, particularly after they no further serve a practical part in a male-centered warrior culture.

I can not for the life of me discover the precise hinges to put on. i needed to go w black and the gold ones that had been on there were flat fundamental hinges which i was effective w putting the same style again on sadly tho i can not discover them in black.
It's helpful to know the heights (and width, if you're making your doorways- My doorways came with the armoire, so I already knew they match collectively across the house) of your doors, as this lets you decide how much you wish to overlap areas of flat molding.
Subsequently, most of them use a cam lock mechanism where the cabinet face frame and cabinet sides/high/backside are held along with a hook-kind fastener that engages the opposing piece when a screw is turned. Whatever you select in the struggle between cabinet refacing vs. cabinet changing, be sure your decisions reflect what you actually need.
You will want to make sure that the hinges you purchase work with the sizes of the replacement cabinet doorways you purchase, and similar for drawer slides and drawer boxes. With out these glass home windows, the gadgets on the inside wouldn't be so fantastically displayed.
Vintage china cupboards within the and you need to grind it off to install the replacement curved glass. Tempered glass breaks into many small items when broken and often never cracks. To put things in perspective, let's look at the Reworking Journal 2016 Value vs. Worth Report A minor kitchen transform — one that features kitchen cabinet refacing, among different modifications — has a nationwide common price of $20,122.

By Tom M. Roberts
If by character assassination, ignoring the truth, condemning as factional, or in some other way, the message of faithful men is silenced, it doesn't change the truth of the gospel.
In ancient Oriental kingdoms, messengers who brought a monarch bad news sometimes suffered the penalty of death. Woe to the messenger who had to tell the king that his army had suffered defeat at the hands of the enemy, that a beloved family member had died, or that affairs of state were in turmoil. Absolute monarchs answered to no one for their actions and messengers could, and sometimes were, dispatched on the spot for being the bearer of bad tidings. Of course, killing the messenger did not change the message, but it gave the king an outlet for his fury.
Such events are not unknown in biblical accounts. Upon hearing that Saul and Jonathan were dead, David slew the messenger who brought the news. Of course, the extenuating circumstance on this occasion was that the messenger was an Amelakite who lied, claiming to have slain Saul at Saul's request. It infuriated David that a pagan had dared to deal so with King Saul, saying, "How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?" (2 Sam. 1:14). The messenger paid with his life.
King Herod likewise cut off the head of John the Baptizer since John had boldly opposed the sinful marriage of Herod to Herodias, Philip's wife. John stated: "It is not lawful for thee to have her" (Matt. 14:4). Though Herodias and her daughter were implicated in the plot to kill John, the ultimate power was Herod's and he slew the messenger of God who condemned his sin. Again, killing John did not change the truth that he declared, but he was effectively silenced because of the message he delivered; the messenger paid with his life.
We Don't Kill Messengers Today
Of course, we live in "kinder and gentler" days and messengers are not slain today when they deliver bad news. But messengers are not immune to ill treatment when a communication carries unfavorable tidings. There are more subtle, albeit effective, ways to vent one's displeasure. These "civilized" methods of dispatching unwelcome messengers are even found among members of the church who do not like the truth of God. Gospel preachers have sometimes been on the receiving end of this "kinder and gentler" method of dealing with the messenger: fire the preacher, cut off his support, throw him out of the preacher's house, and haul him over the coals in a business meeting. Paul was no stranger to ill-treatment by brethren, raising the question, "Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?" (Gal. 4:16). He stated that he had been in "perils often," even among "false brethren" (2 Cor. 11:26). Paul understood the danger of being the bearer of bad news.
Institutional History Continues the Pattern
The wrath of the guilty against the messenger who exposes his guilt is still a viable force to be reckoned with in our time. No, those who preach the truth aren't beheaded, thrust through with spears or stoned to death in the public square. But let us not be so naive as to believe that the anger of the evil-doer cannot find its outlet against the messenger in the twentieth (or twenty-first) century. During the institutional controversy of the 50s, the "yellow flag of quarantine" was an effective tool against many of God's messengers. Meetings were canceled, whisper campaigns were conducted, reputations were ruined by name-calling (some charged as "orphan haters," "church splitters," and such like). Many who did not study the issues were influenced against truth by those who assassinated characters as readily as Herodias demanded the head of John. All of this was done "in the spirit of Jesus," of course!
Messages and Messengers Today That Face Opposition
Every generation faces its own issues, its own controversies, its own forces of iniquity. In one generation it is called Gnosticism, in another institutionalism, in another doctrinal unity-in-diversity. However the titles are changed, the battle remains the same. The battle is truth versus error, law versus iniquity, right versus wrong. The actors on the stage change with each succeeding generation, but the plot remains the same. And one constant that is still with us is, "Kill the messenger." Diotrephes threw some out of the church who received John's letters (3 John 9-10). John was exiled (Rev. 1:9). We don't have the custom of beheading people in our times and no one has been stoned to death like Stephen in centuries (Acts 7:58). But don't think modem iniquity hasn't developed effective means of dealing with those who preach the truth when it is "out of season" (2 Tim. 4:2).
The overwhelming iniquity of our age is that of compromise, of doctrinal unity-in-diversity, by which the unforgivable sin is to have conviction and stand opposed to error. It is a little recognized fact that unity-in-diversity, specifically relating to doctrinal matters, earlier taught by Carl Ketcherside and Leroy Garrett, and considered so radical at the time, has come of age and is quite acceptable among "sound" brethren today. Some brethren mistakenly believed that Carl Ketcherside was isolated, ridiculed and put to flight before he died. Nothing could be further from the truth! The New Hermeneutic Movement today is Carl's unity-in-diversity gone up-town. A doctrine that was once scorned by many as illiterate has become the darling of the sophisticates as they use their Master's and Doctorates from "brotherhood colleges" to encourage fellowship with denominations.
But compromise is not restricted to the ultra-liberals. New ammunition has been found "among us" by those who are turning a misuse of Romans 14 into the breeding ground for a unity-in-diversity that mirrors that of Carl Ketcherside. Used at the first to embrace those who would accept the "alien who would come to God" in unlawful marriages, Romans 14 is quickly being expanded to allow sinful beliefs and doctrines of every sort. Compromise with sin is the order of the day and woe to the messenger who has the conviction to speak out. Kill the messenger? Of course not. But please don't think that just as effective methods are not available to silence those who would "preach the word."
It is possible for the voice of gospel preachers to be stilled just as effectively (and politely) as in the days of the institutional apostasy. The "good of boy" system is still effective by which whispers and innuendoes ruin the reputation of faithful preachers. Brethren are quarantined today by inclusive, unpublished lists which, at the same time, exclude unwanted preachers. Those who raise the voice of opposition are ignored as they appeal to brethren for Bible studies. Careful and studious articles are condemned as "rash," "shoot from the hip," "knee-jerk" attacks by the very ones who refuse to meet and study issues. It is considered bad taste at the best and sinful at the worst to call names and identify those who advocate compromise. Tape recorders are outlawed from study sessions where compromise is taught lest some "troubler of Israel" get an insight to the material presented. Some are obliquely labeled as factional because their stand for truth is too open, too plain, too uncompromising.
The tongue can be as effective as a sword in such controversies. Faithful messengers of the Word have had their characters assailed as "brotherhood watchdogs," "creed makers," "meddlers in other men's matters," and "guardians of truth" so many times that even the innocent and naive are led to believe the lie. Such barbed comments are smilingly pronounced against brethren while they decry the mean spirit of the "name callers" and "busybodies." Even while those who teach error are militant in their spread of compromise, they berate those who oppose them as "too militant." Those who travel across continents to teach error attack those who write in papers such as this one as desiring to direct brotherhood affairs, to control the church universal.
Kill the messenger in the church today? Oh, we are much too polite for that. But this approach is just as deadly, lethal to a fault, and has the advantage of shedding no blood. And, sad to say, it is effective. Those who are guilty can stand in shocked dismay and claim innocence while they continue to spread error and refuse to study. They are the ones with the sweet spirit, who rise above controversy, who refuse to sully their hands in debate. Meanwhile, error continues its destructive march and compromise eats away at the heart of conviction.
The Message Is Not Changed
by Killing the Messenger
Stephen told those who were to stone him to death: "Ye stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it" (Acts 7:51-53). These words will face his murderers at the Judgment.
Herod must still hear the haunting echo of John saying, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
The splash of the water could not wash away the guilt of Pilate even as he consented to the death of Jesus. Pilate is gone but the gospel remains.
And so will it be in our generation. If by character assassination, ignoring the truth, condemning as factional, or in some other way, the message of faithful men is silenced, it doesn't change the truth of the gospel. Doctrinal unity-in-diversity is still compromise no matter if every voice of opposition is stilled. It remains comforting to know, even as Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" (Matt. 24:35). You may kill the messenger, but you can't stop the message.

It's Monday! And you know what that means – it's time for my weekly weigh in! Now, I've gotten a few comments/criticisms about this Shape Up series on how short term diets are not the key to long term weight loss. Therefore, I feel the need to re-address the purpose of these posts: First, the 10 lbs I gain over the holidays is something that happens almost every year (bad on my part, but pretty much unavoidable with all the delicious homemade food at home), so this Shape Up is what I do EVERY WINTER so I can get back to 130lbs, the weight I keep during other ~300 days of the year. I've been 130lbs for about 5 years now and it's the weight I feel most comfortable at (where I can eat healthy most of the time, but still indulge once in a while). Furthermore, even after I lose my 10lbs, I still plan to use/eat all the tips, recipes, and food options I've posted -- and I encourage you to do the same!
This is what 130 lbs looks like!
With that off my back, let's get on to the recap of last week!
Day 3: 45 minutes on the treadmill, speed 3.5, incline 2.0 – Check!
Day 4: 30 minutes on the recumbent bicycle, level 7; 30 minutes ExerciseTV's Cardiokie with Billy Blanks Jr.; 30 minutes weight training using 5lb to 8lb weight – It was a snowy slushy cold mess outside, and I didn't want to slip and break a hip to go to the gym. Thank God for ExerciseTV from On Demand and my hand weights at home. Plus I got to change my routine up a bit…Check!
Day 5: 30 minutes on the elipitcal trainer, level 5; 10 minutes on the recumbent bicycle, level 7 – Check!
Day 6 &7: Rest – An Easy Check!
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the McDonald's team to taste test their new Fruit and Maple Oatmeal from the breakfast menu. Since I've had high cholesterol pretty much my entire life (d*mn genetics!), I try to eat oatmeal regularly for breakfast, due to its magical cholesterol reducing abilities and ease of preparation. Frankly, I was highly skeptical that McDonald's oatmeal would be palatable, but given that their recent healthier menu items (fruit smoothies, salads, yogurt parfaits, etc) have been actually tasty, I decided to give it chance on one frightfully chilly Boston morning.
WOW! Color me shocked because this $1.99 bowl of heart attack prevention tasted much better than my usual Instant Quaker Oats. The generous portion of fresh sliced apples, raisins, and dried cranberries really gave the oatmeal a nice flavor profile and meshed well with the hint of maple flavor. But the best thing? This bowl only contains 290 calories and kept me full and satisfied until lunch (full nutrition profile here)!
Congrats Frank (Grand Prize) and Lara @ GoodCookDoris (1st Prize)!
I totally applaud McDonald's push for healthier menu items (that still taste good), so I am offering a $25 gift card (I don't mind if you spend it on fries and a Big Mac, but I totally recommend you try the oatmeal/smoothies/healthy menu items!) and 2 coupons to try their new Fruit and Maple Oatmeal for two financefoodie.com readers.
1. REQUIRED: In my comments section, tell me what is your favorite oatmeal topping? (Mine is fresh strawberries - maybe McDonald's can add that in their oatmeal too (Hint Hint)!). Also please include your email address so I can contact you if you win!
Contest ends Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 5pm EST. Winners will be chosen via random integer generator on random.org announced on the financefoodie.com site shortly afterwards that night!
Disclosure: McDonald's provided me with the free product coupons to try the product and for the giveaway. I bought the Arch Card myself.

The FBI Paid More Than $1 Million To Crack San Bernardino iPhone
Jayce Wagner
The FBI paid more than a million dollars to unlock the San Bernardino iPhone, but didn't find any links to ISIS. Did the FBI get its money's worth?
FBI Director James Comey was speaking at a security conference today, when he was asked about how much the FBI paid to have the San Bernardino iPhone unlocked – after attempts to convince Apple to develop a backdoor into the popular iOS 9 failed.
"[It cost] more than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months for sure," said FBI Director James Comey today.

According to the Washington Post, Comey paused as if performing the math in his head, before confirming that access to the San Bernardino iPhone cost the FBI upward of $1 million, some analysts put the figure closer to $1.3 million. It's the first time that FBI Director Comey has commented on the cost of an investigative tool used in the San Bernardino case, and due to the high profile nature of the FBI's fight with Apple, it's no surprise that Comey continues to receive questions about the murky circumstances which brought about the iPhone's decryption. Comey defends the decision to pay for the hack, despite rumors that the iPhone contained no information on links to ISIS.
"It was in my view, worth it," said FBI Director James Comey today.
Tech news outlet The Verge did the math, using the publicly available information about FBI Director James Comey's projected income for the remainder of his term as Director of the FBI – Comey will make around 1.3 million in his remaining time, and his statements today confirm that the San Bernardino iPhone hack was extremely costly.
The San Bernardino iPhone may have been worth the $1.3 million price tag the FBI paid, but what remains unclear is precisely who unlocked the phone. The FBI stated that the NSA was unable to do it, and that the FBI's own technical experts couldn't do it either. Early rumors suggested secretive Israeli firm Cellebrite was involved and may have unlocked the iPhone for the FBI, but the Washington Post suggests the FBI may have contracted independent hackers to break into the iPhone.

The amount the FBI paid to have the San Bernardino iPhone unlocked could be much higher than Director Comey's quoted figure, but The Verge speculates that $1.3 million sounds about right – past bounties on digital exploits have come close to or exceeded that figure, but not by much. An exploit broker offered about $1 million just last year to anyone who could figure out a web-based exploit for iOS 9.
The FBI may have paid a king's ransom for access to the iPhone, but according to the FBI's 2017 budget, over half a billion dollars has been allocated for "cyber-investigative" capabilities and the $1.3 million figure is just a drop in the bucket. Still, FBI Director Comey suggested today that he'd rather not rely on expensive outside contractors for future cases. The FBI, Comey says, just can't afford to shell out about a million dollars every time it needs a new phone unlocked.
"I'm hoping that we can somehow get to a place where we have a sensible solution, or set of solutions, that doesn't involve hacking, it doesn't involve spending tons of money in a way that's un-scalable," said FBI Director Comey, discussing the exorbitant cost of unlocking the San Bernardino iPhone.
Ever since the FBI paid upward of $1.3 million to outside contractors, the FBI has been sharply criticized for not disclosing the iPhone vulnerability to Apple – out of fear that Apple will issue a patch that will fix the exploit and close the backdoor the FBI paid so dearly to acquire. Earlier this year, Apple refused to unlock the phone, or to develop a tool which would do the job — stating firmly that a backdoor into the iPhone is too dangerous a tool for anyone to have.

Cook begins serving 14 years for gunpoint robbery in Castaic
A cook who lives in Castaic recently began serving a 14-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to one count of robbery, a felony.
Hector Efrain Hernandez, 26, began serving his sentence two weeks ago when he was admitted to the North Kern State Prison.
"He pleaded no contest on June 4, to one count of second-degree robbery and was sentenced to 14 years in state prison," Ricardo Santiago, spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
Hernandez was arrested a year ago for robbing a 40-year-old man at gunpoint.
On Aug. 4, 2018, shortly after 3 p.m., deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station responded to the 31500 block of Castaic Road for reports of a robbery at gunpoint.
"The suspect was arrested, and a semiautomatic handgun seized," Sgt. Daniel Dantice said at the time of the arrest.
After a brief preliminary hearing in December, Hernandez was ordered to stand trial.

There are bus services that operate from Narita Airport and other starting points going directly to Hakuba.
The local Oito-sen train line travels through the valley from Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture to Matsumoto City north to south. Most people coming from the Tokyo region will arrive via Nagano Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen ('bullet train') line was previously generally known as the Nagano Shinkansen. A new extended section of line connecting Nagano with Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture was opened in the spring 2015, when the Shinkansen line took on its intended title - the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
This Hokuriku Shinkansen now connects Tokyo Station directly with Kanazawa Station in Ishikawa Prefecture, stopping at Nagano Station on the way. The journey from Tokyo Station to Nagano Station takes around 90 minutes, depending on which train you catch.
There is no direct train line from Nagano Station to Hakuba Station, so most people heading to Hakuba take a bus from Nagano Station, whether it be arranged by their accommodation or one of the available public buses. The Hakuba bus stop is Number 6 and found on the East Exit of Nagano Station.
The journey to central Hakuba village from Nagano Station by bus takes around 1 hour.
The Shinano Limited Express train on the Chuo Honsen departs from Nagoya Station and heads for Matsumoto where you can change to the Oito-sen which heads north and stops at Hakuba Station and the other nearby local stations in the valley including the Kamishiro Station near the Hakuba Goryu resort. (Some services are direct, some services require change at Shinano Omachi Station).
Take the Sanyo Shinkansen to Nagoya and then transfer to the Chuo Honsen, as above.
The Hakuba Valley Shuttle Bus connects all of the resorts in the Hakuba Valley group. This shuttle bus service is free of charge except for the Konayuki line bound for Hakuba Cortina which costs 500 yen. There are four different lines (routes) covering the area.
Taking a bus is much quicker!
Oito-sen from Hakuba Station to Matsumoto Station.
Hokuriku Shinkansen from Itoigawa Station to Ueda Station.
Sugadaira is about 25km from Ueda Station.

NCAA MEN'S 2ND & 3RD ROUNDS: BUFFALO
Archie Miller
Dyshawn Pierre
Vee Sanford
Dayton – 60
Ohio State - 59
THE MODERATOR: Coach, an opening statement.
COACH MILLER: Obviously, an incredible finish, but we're really proud of how our guys prepared and approached to battle against what we consider an elite team.
I thought both teams played pretty hard. It was back and forth. But at the end of the day, you know, in this tournament, like everybody knows, a few plays here and there have to go your way.
Dyshawn's three free throws in a row, and then, obviously, Vee's shot off the glass. It could go either way, 50‑50, but they made them today. It's a big reason why we won the game.
THE MODERATOR: Thanks, Coach. We'll take questions just for our student‑athletes at this time.
Q. Probably during the regular season, your free‑throw percentage wasn't what you wanted it to be, but today you were perfect from the line. What was going through your mind when you hit those threes?
DYSHAWN PIERRE: I was trying to stay calm, stay focused, and I knew we had to make those free throws for the team. Luckily, I did.
Q. Just a quick followup. How eagerly are you watching this game knowing that you could potentially go up against Tyler Ennis?
DYSHAWN PIERRE: I'm not really thinking about that right now. Right now it's about the team. We just want to advance.
Q. Were you nervous?
VEE SANFORD: No, I wasn't nervous. I just thank God and thank Coach for trusting me. We've probably drawn up a play like that and I messed it up previously, but he just kept his trust in me, and I'm just thankful that the shot went in.
Q. And just as a followup, what did that shot mean to you knowing you transferred here to Dayton and to seal this win, this back‑and‑forth win against Ohio State?
VEE SANFORD: It goes above me, us as a family and as a team, it's all about how hard we worked and how we've bounced back through our hard times. So it goes on above me.
Q. Vee, during the timeout with ten seconds left, they design a play to get you the ball. What did Coach say? Can you take us through that?
VEE SANFORD: Mainly, he wanted me to go right and kind of just open up the floor. He knows that's my strength. If I had opportunity to get to the basket, you know, I have a high percentage of hitting the shot.
So it was a well drawn up play, and I'm just thankful that I was able to execute it.
Q. To either of you guys, there's been some talk coming in that maybe the Atlantic 10 wasn't getting as much respect as you deserved. Do you feel like with tonight's win you guys have vindicated that talk and vindicated you guys being here?
DYSHAWN PIERRE: We kind of try to cancel out all the noise and kind of focus on this game. With this win, we're happy with it, but now we've just got to keep focusing on moving forward, next game mentality.
We're happy that we got the win.
Q. Guys, can you take us through what you guys were thinking at the time Ohio State made that big run in the second half.
VEE SANFORD: We were just trying to stay positive. Our main thing is they're a really good team. Good teams are going to go on runs. The main thing is just to hold our composure and be able to handle it. So I felt like we did that pretty well.
DYSHAWN PIERRE: Can you repeat the question, please?
Q. Just wondering what was going through your mind during the 10‑0 run that Ohio State had during the second half?
DYSHAWN PIERRE: Just staying with our team game plan, just staying together. At the end of the day, we knew that, if we stayed together, that we'd be there at the end of the game. Luckily, with Vee's tough shot, we were able to pull it out.
Q. Vee, there was talk about little brother versus big brother. Maybe you guys get bragging rights, right?
VEE SANFORD: We didn't look at it like that. It was just another game to us.
VEE SANFORD: Honestly, it was. Coming into the game, we wasn't thinking about who they were. It was just, you know, it was a game. It was five‑on‑five. It didn't matter who it was. We just wanted to advance.
So that stuff was irrelevant, and we put that out the door.
Q. Vee, can you talk about how you handled their defensive pressure and how you think that went and the challenge that was.
VEE SANFORD: They're really good defenders, and I felt like the main thing we just stuck with is just being tough. We knew Craft and Scott are really good defenders on the ball, and they swipe down.
So we knew they were going to get some calls, but we just wanted to stay tough and keep playing through.
Q. Dyshawn, they played Oh, Canada before the game. Did it kind of strike you off guard?
DYSHAWN PIERRE: No, not really. I saw the flag and heard the anthem start playing. It was pretty cool, but didn't really take it anywhere really.
THE MODERATOR: Guys, congrats.
I'll take questions for Coach Miller at this time.
Q. Coach, against Saint Joe's, kind of deja vu. You didn't like the play call you had at the end of the game. This time it happened again, ten seconds, this is it. Did you feel confident in giving Vee the ball at the end and just a complete play?
COACH MILLER: Yeah, you know, the Saint Joe's game, I've been thinking about that all the way through. I didn't put those guys in a situation where we were going to be able to get a good shot. We took out all the confusion this time.
He was able to get the ball up at the top. Once we got it up at the top, we spaced and just kind of ran up and got out of the way just to see if we could create any kind of confusion up on the top.
I think Aaron may have took his head off the ball for just a quick second, and Vee, if he can get on the side of you, can get to the rim. If he'd have made it, missed it, the guys did a good job. But I just wanted to make sure we got a shot at the basket.
Q. Archie, just the significance of this victory for your team, for yourself to beat Thad Matta, your mentor. I don't want to say does it sink in, but can you put it into perspective at this point?
COACH MILLER: I mean, a lot of people are going to make a big case about it being Thad or it being Ohio State, but you advance in the NCAA Tournament, that's hard. That's really hard. It's hard to get here, and it's hard to advance. So it's always a good thing.
But I don't think we came here like it was a circus act. I don't think we came here trying to hopefully hang in there and go home, and, Boy, it was a great run.
Our guys have been very consistent. We've talked to them the same way for about two straight months. We didn't get real complicated. It wasn't about Ohio State or where they're from or blah, blah, blah. It wasn't. It was about us.
I thought our guys approached it. They did the same thing we've been doing, and we gave ourselves a chance to win the game.
Q. Archie, any thoughts register as Aaron goes down for that last shot?
COACH MILLER: I thought it was going in. I thought it was going in. I've seen those a bunch since I've been at Dayton, but more importantly, I've watched Ohio State, in particular. I've watched those guys win that game a thousand times.
He's a bulldozer with the ball. He got it down there in about three dribbles, and he got a good look. It just ended up rimming out, and we got lucky.
Q. Archie, after that game, you stated your case why you guys should be here. The Atlantic 10 got six bids. Do you feel like with this win you've sort of shown why that happened?
COACH MILLER: A‑10 is great. Coaches are great. I've said it a couple days ago, there's great players in our league. The seniors in that league have been through it.
The fact we got six bids, we earned all six. Now if we'd have lost today and someone says they shouldn't have gotten in? Probably. It's all irrelevant. We are in. We earned the right to be in. The other teams in the A‑10 not only earned the right to get in, I thought they were seeded pretty good. I wouldn't expect anything less of our league to keep advancing.
Q. Coach, Kendall Pollard, probably one of the unsung heroes of this game. What did you see from him to get his minutes increased?
COACH MILLER: I didn't think D. Mo had a good stretch. He had a four‑ or five‑minute stretch where he didn't play real well. To let him go out there and keep doing it, we didn't like that. So we gave Kendall a chance and wanted to give D. Mo a blow. He did a great job while he was in there.
While that happened, Ohio State went small. When they need something to click, they go Loving or Ross in together with your five, and next thing you know, you're in a tough spot, either getting back or in the half‑court.
Kendall's role this season has grown. I have confidence in him. He's a good player. He's going to be even better. But we were able to play small the rest of the way as well, which we haven't done all season. I thought that's a great thing for a freshman to be in there in those moments.
Q. Coach, you had the same exact number of rebounds, same exact number of assists, same exact number of steals. What was the difference in this game that allowed you to win?
COACH MILLER: I would say we were able to win the game just based on how the flow was going. We capitalized off turnovers. I thought we had ten steals in the game. I thought we got some transition baskets, some run‑outs. We were able to play.
I also thought that we probably had about a three‑ or four‑possession stretch where we had numbers in transition where we shot ourselves in the foot or the game could have went even a little bit more extended.
I mean, we had four straight turnovers in one run when we had numbers. That wasn't good. It kind of really took the game air, the confidence out of our team for a minute. Our defense gave us a chance to win as well.
Looking at the percentages, just in general, I thought our defense gave us a chance because they're such a great offensive team‑‑ I mean, defensive team.
Q. Sam Thompson scored 8 out of the 10 in that 10‑0 run. What was the adjustment after that, because he only scored one more basket?
COACH MILLER: He got a couple of sets out of a timeout. They run a ton of lobs. You've got to be ready to go. I thought he did a tremendous job on the offensive glass where we made an end block out. Then early in the game, he banged two threes, which from our standpoint, we didn't want to give him the three, but obviously we were trying to protect the dribble drive.
He's a really talented guy. He was bouncy around the basket. He got a couple there. You know, I think some loose ball plays, nothing that was really designed.
So once the game got under control, we started to block out a little better. We were trying to keep awareness as everything went on, just the lobs and the things that we run for him, to stay below him.
Q. How do you feel you handled their perimeter pressure defense?
COACH MILLER: Great.
Q. And what was the key to doing that?
COACH MILLER: I thought we handled it great. I watched so many games where they dismantle you off a dead ball free‑throw, and they make a lot of plays when they go small.
We were composed. For the most part, our turnovers were self‑inflicted. I didn't think very often they created the turnover. Maybe one. Craft made a heck of a play on the underneath out‑of‑bounds steal.
I thought our press offense was organized. I thought we did a good job there. Then I thought in the half‑court we were able to move the ball and get it to where we wanted to get it.
The thing you've got to do that's amazing is on penetration and post‑ups and offensive rebounds, how many hands they get on the ball. It's just the amount of deflections that they get in the paint is just crazy. It's an unorthodox feeling usually as a player when you have a hard time picking it up and getting it up.
I was worried about Vee on the last play, Craft knocking it off him or getting a hand on it.
They're really good on defense. Their perimeter quickness is tough. Off the ball, they do a great job. But I thought our guys were strong with it and able to handle it.
Q. Then as a follow‑up, did you have a number in mind, you know, turnovers, if we keep it to this, we're in decent shape?
COACH MILLER: If I told them we wanted to play with 12, we'd play with 24 or something like that. Keep it simple.
Q. Coach, Vee was 3 of 10 going into that final possession. What gave you the confidence to call his number?
COACH MILLER: He's the guy that can get the shot. He's the guy that can get the shot up. He's been in that situation a lot for us. Most people have watched us play have seen him come down that right lane line probably 20 times this season and banked that banker right off the glass.
I was worried about him getting bottled up. We wanted to get him a lane where maybe he could get it downhill. I thought Devin did a great job coming up and slipping. Vee was able with the first step to get the first dribble by him. That was a big key in the other play.
Vee made that shot a lot. He's terrific inside of 15, 16 feet making those type of shots. We have a lot of confidence in him. He's the one guy we can call his number, and he can get one.
Q. Were you expecting maybe a collapse and a kick?
COACH MILLER: No. They want to stay home on the three‑point shooters, and we spread the floor very open. They'll take their chances with the Big Ten Player of the Year on defense with ten seconds to go and let him see if he can't win the game.
Q. How uneasy of a feeling is it during that 10‑0 run when for five minutes you can't get a basket?
COACH MILLER: Well, you know, it's uneasy. It's uneasy during any game when momentum shifts. This team is oblivious to it. We've been through it a lot. We've come back a lot. We've done a lot of things in big moments this season. We have a lot of guys that have been out there.
So I think over the course of the season every team gets used to it. The thing we talked about a lot during the run was we were creating a lot of our own problems. Turning the ball over on a break with a two‑on‑one, a one‑hand bounce pass through the lane to get stolen, underneath out of bounds. Didn't properly execute.
There's simple things there where if you just do them right, they don't create some of that. They do a good job of obviously making things happen there, too. You're going to have some turnovers. But for the most part, we hung in there pretty tough.
Q. Given the familiarity between the two programs or people in the programs, is there room for sympathy with Ohio State coming here with the expectations they've had in their program?
COACH MILLER: I would just say the familiarity with the two programs is probably Coach Matta, his staff, and myself, more so than anything.
Q. How do you feel‑‑
COACH MILLER: Our players don't know Ohio State's players. Maybe Jordan, but there was no sympathy in our locker room for winning the game.
For me, it's tough. You line up against somebody who gave you a lot. He thinks a lot of you. He helped us just as much as anyone. He's pulling for us at the end of the season. And then you play him.
But at the end of the day, it is what it is. If he would have won, obviously, he's going to say it's tough. But the name of the game right now is advancing. This is the biggest stage you can be on. This is where our program is supposed to be. And we've gotten here, and we want to stay.
Q. Coach, your first NCAA win. Are you going to sleep easier tonight?
COACH MILLER: Probably not. I'm assuming we're going to have another one that's going to be very, very similar in a couple of days. So we're going to prepare.
I want our guys to go enjoy it. This is the greatest thing in the world when you win the 12:00 noon game because you've got a lot of ball, and you can sit and watch the replay a lot.
THE MODERATOR: Coach, thank you very much.


High-performance applications typically require the lowest possible latency in order to have the parallel processes be in sync as much as possible. In the past, this requirement drove the adoption of SMP machines, where the floating point elements (CPU, GPUs) were placed as much as possible on the same board. With the increased demands for higher compute capability, and lowering the cost of adoption for making large scale HPC more available, we have witnessed the increase of clustering as the preferred architecture for high-performance computing. In this paper, we investigate the performance impact of "going outside the box," meaning the penalty of the inter-node latency versus the intra-node latency. We review the requirements of inter-node communication elements in order to ensure minimum penalty and review testing results of one of the leading HPC applications. We also explore and suggest new usage models that can be created utilizing technologies that meet the desired requirements.


Chanute Elementary School principal Gary Wheeler left a student in tears and threatened him with a 168-day suspension because the hysterical anti-gun "educator" doesn't understand the difference between a live round of ammunition and a spent shell casing.
Principal Wheeler and other anti-liberty propagandists in our public schools have lost all sense of proportion, logic, and reason.
A shell casing is not a weapon, nor it it ammunition. Wheeler grossly overstepped his bounds and threatened a good child out of his own ignorance and hysteria.
A reasonable administrator and disciplinarian would have confiscated the casing. He would have explained to the student that such items are inappropriate for school, and that some people might confuse it for actual ammunition, which is against school policy and the law. He would have let the student off with a warning and a call to the parent.
But our education administrators refuse to act with reason and intelligence these days. They hide behind policies. A child who repeatedly attacks and bullies other students or sells drugs on campus may get second and third and fourth chances, but a child who draws a picture of a gun is forced to sign a suicide contract even when they she is too young to understand the word.
It's time to do away with zero-tolerance, zero-intelligence educational politics, and the slow-witted bullies that push them.

House Republicans are still silent on the question of whether Speaker John Boehner will try to void the Obama administration's directive protecting immigrants brought to the U.S. as children when he sues the president in the coming weeks. But in response to this article, Boehner's spokesman Michael Steel notes that the speaker did not cite immigration policy when he sent a memo to House Republicans last month in anticipation of the lawsuit. To wit, Boehner's memo laments that "[o]n matters ranging from health care and energy to foreign policy and education, President Obama has repeatedly run an end-around on the American people and their elected legislators, straining the boundaries of the solemn oath he took on Inauguration Day."
Obviously that list is less than definitive. It's, as Boehner himself writes, a range. If a reporter notes his job requires him to cover matters ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, he probably doesn't have just two things in mind. Likewise, somewhere on his march from ransacking health care and energy policy to foreign policy and education, Obama quite possibly ran afoul of an immigration law or two.
The question, obviously, is whether Boehner will ultimately decide to omit immigration reform from his lawsuit, either for political reasons, or because his legal team determines that Obama isn't actually exceeding his authority, or both. We still don't know, and I don't claim to. Steel's caveat is just one data point. But I do know that the GOP's short-term and medium-term political considerations come into tension here. I fully understand the political case against fighting Obama's deferred action program. Republicans are already doing a terrible job trying to escape their image as a party hostile to immigrants. It would be really tough to shake the Etch-a-Sketch clean after suing Obama to make him deport "Dreamers." But that's mainly a 2016 problem. The main objective of the lawsuit, as I noted a couple of weeks ago, is to find a sweet spot between railing impotently against Obama's executive actions and heeding the right's growing appetite for impeachment or picking a budget fight, ahead of the 2014 elections. To marshal the right's anti-Obama enthusiasm without necessarily indulging its politically disastrous instincts.
The problem with Boehner's strategy is that political reason doesn't always (or even usually) persuade Republican base voters. They're well aware that the powers of impeachment and the purse both reside squarely with the Congress, even if they don't appreciate how poorly the public would receive an actual impeachment vote or a government shutdown fight ahead of the election. And the risk is that a safer option like Boehner's will leave them totally unimpressed, or slavering for further action.
227 years ago, when the founders of the nation set about drafting the constitution, they gave the House of Representatives the exclusive power to initiate revenue bills and impeach the Executive….
I realize John Boehner and the House Republicans may lack the testicular fortitude to fight President Obama, but I would kindly ask that he save the taxpayers further money on a political stunt solely designed to incite Republican voters who might otherwise stay home given the establishment's bungling of Mississippi and abandonment of their constitutionally derived powers.
John Boehner's lawsuit is nothing more than political theater and a further Republican waste of taxpayer dollars. If the Republican leaders in the House are too chicken to use their constitutional powers to rein in the President, they should just call it a day and go home.
Erickson obviously doesn't speak for everyone on the right. But I think it's safe to say that conservative activists aren't unanimously atingle over the "sue Obama" option. And from that perspective, suing Obama, while giving him a free pass on the deferred action directive is actually worse. To further acknowledge that Obama's immigration policy is actually kosher would be even worse still, because it would create cognitive dissonance on the right and expose the hollowness of the GOP's excuse for inaction on immigration reform to everyone else.
The irony is that this time around, Boehner's attempt to run an end around of his own on Republican activists isn't entirely about avoiding a political mistake like the October government shutdown. Maybe he'll get laughed out of court for lack of standing. But if he gets heard and wins, his victory—even a partial one; even one decided at the end of or after Obama's presidency—would be binding on the next president, too. And should she be a Democrat, the precedent would hang over her head like the sword of Damocles. A constant reminder that a Republican majority in either the House or the Senate would have an entirely new ability to limit her ability to govern in absence of legislative compromise.
That would be a pretty big legacy for Boehner. But first he has some decisions to make.


Since its inception, community outreach has been a core tenet of our young and growing congregation. We have established relationships with many organizations in the Lexington community and are very active in our work and broad in our reach.
This is one of our primary local outreach activities. Each year, we sponsor 25 middle-school students and supply weekend backpacks filled with enough food to provide for seven (7) small meals. These kids receive free or reduced lunch at school and without these weekend backpacks would go hungry over the weekend. Over the past year and a half, Bluegrass UCC has provided over 1500 backpacks counting 10,500 meals. Our congregation packs backpacks once a month and packs 100 backpacks each month, providing for 700 kids' meals. In addition to our monthly commitment with God's Pantry, we participate in the annual Basket Brigade, which supplies over 6000 Thanksgiving food baskets for needy families in central Kentucky.
In 2013, we began a new outreach initiative in which we contacted various agencies in our community and asked them to share with us their 'wish list' of needs. In recent months, we have collected items for: Ronald McDonald House, AVOL, Community Inn (homeless shelter), God's Pantry remote food bank, and other important and vital agencies that need our help. In December 2012, we sponsored a family of four children and a single mom for Christmas.
Bluegrass UCC is very involved in the LGBT community, providing an inclusive and welcoming faith community and working with others in Lexington to call for justice and advocacy. For the past three years, Bluegrass UCC has been a sponsor of the annual fairness awards and hosted events during Lexington PRIDE activities.
This is another agency that Bluegrass UCC has been involved with since very early on. KY Refugee Ministries seeks to provide housing, groceries, apartment set-up (furniture, cleaning, etc.), and adjustment to living in Lexington to refugee families from around the world.
Bluegrass UCC continues to open itself to God's vision for future opportunities for local outreach. Now that we have moved to a new neighborhood and have our own space, we hope to offer more services to our new neighborhood and surrounding area.

Q: Can I install two Cuda toolkits and use them at the same time? I wonder if I can easily install multiple Cuda toolkits and use them.
The reason for this is that, I have two applications, that need two different versions.
Now if I create two user accounts, and install each version in each accounts, Will it be OK?
I mean will they not affect the whole system and thus other accounts?
Can I do this in one account?
Thanks in advance

A: Yes, it is possible.
As long as the Os is supported you can install several CUDA toolkits. In order not to face any issues, I, however, recommend using runfile installers as they allow you to specify which and where to install them.
One thing to look after is the symlink created for CUDA. when you install CUDA, usually many apps and/or frameworks check for that symlink which most often points to the latest/only version of CUDA available on a system.
So have the necessary changes in your application specific config file to point to the correct cuda installation version. The installer normally always creates a folder named cuda-x.x (e.g cuda-9.1) which you can use instead of the symlink (/usr/local/cuda) as well.
If one application of yours only checks the symlink /usr/local/cuda, and there is no way for you to alter its config, then you can make that symlinc point to the version of cuda, that app needs and the configure the other apps to use their corrosponding versions through their config files.
