Q: Developer Commentary without Completing the Chamber I've played (and finished) the original Portal on my Xbox 360. I really liked the game, and thought many times about having another go to listen to the developer commentary. However, I do not fancy another play-through using that wicked game-pad contraption.
Recently I picked up the PC version on steam. To my utter chagrin, it requires me to finish a chamber before being able to access the commentary. This would mean two entire play-throughs, which is a bit much even using keyboard and mouse.
Is there some way to convince the game that I've played it already and let me listen to the commentary unhindered?

A: *

*Finish the first level.

*Return to the main menu.

*Start over in developer commentary mode.

You should now be able to finish the entire game with developer commentary on. (You are however giving up on achievements.)

"I want to be ignited to give hope to more people," said Jesuit Father Ignatius Padya, 34, who was traveling with a group of pilgrims from Zambia, Mozambique and his own country of Zimbabwe in southern Africa to the opening Mass on 22 January of the international event organised by the Catholic Church, which also welcomed other Christians and those of other religious or no spiritual beliefs.
One thing he realised, Father Padya told Catholic News Service, is that for people in Latin America, compared to those in Africa, "our histories and experiences are similar," he said. He wanted the young pilgrims he travelled with to understand that just as Latin America has a history of pain, it also has a history of faith and beauty, and the people in the region have something to offer -- and Africans, no matter what challenges they face, also have gifts to offer.
Mary, the archbishop said, "was posed to you as a model of valour, courage, who made herself available to comply with God's plans, the ones which he had selected for her and whose answer is the motto of this World Youth Day."
"Like most Western countries, it's not great," he said about the religious scene of Australia, although the 2008 World Youth Day held in his country "galvanised people."
A saint, he said, "seeks justice, prays, lives and loves the community, is happy, has a sense of humour, always is in the struggle, leaves mediocrity behind, lives the mercy of God and shares it with the neighbor."

Q: VS2010 / Code Analysis: Turn off a rule for a project without custom ruleset ...any change?
The scenario is this:

*

*For our company we develop a standard how code should look.

*This will be the MS full rule set as it looks now.

*For some specific projects we may want to turn off specific rules. Simply because for a specific project this is a "known exception". Example? CA1026 - while perfectly ok in most cases, there are 1-2 specific libraries we dont want to change those.

*We also want to avoid having a custom rule set. OTOH putting in a suppress attribute on every occurance gets pretty convoluted pretty fast.

Any way to turn off a code analysis warning for a complete assembly without a custom rule set? We rather have that in a specific file (GlobalSuppressions.cs) than in a rule set for maintenance reasons, and to be more explicit ;)

A: There is no way to create an assembly-level exclusion that will cover all violations of that rule for types and/or members within the assembly.
You could probably still use the CodeAnalysisRules element in your project file, but this is essentially just as much work as a custom ruleset, and more difficult to track given that it's not shown in the project properties UI.
Regardless of the mechanism you would prefer to use, you should also consider whether you want to simply exclude existing violation or whether you want new violations to be introduced.  If the former, you should add SuppressMessage attributes for the existing violations.  If the latter, you should disable the rule for the assembly.
BTW, in case you weren't aware of this, you can suppress multiple violations at once in the violation list in VStudio.

A: You'd actually have more flexibility of exclusions with CodeIt.Right for static analysis. And saved all that time :)

Pew study: Rest of the world takes in more refugees than US for first time
By Jesus Rodriguez - 07/05/18 03:23 PM EDT
The United States is resettling fewer refugees than the rest of the world combined according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR).
The study found that it is the first time the U.S has resettled fewer refugees than the combined total of all other nations since the 1980 U.S. Refugee Act, which allows the president to set caps on the number admitted.
Historically, the United States has led the world in refugee admissions, having taken in more than 3 million of the 4 million refugees resettled worldwide since the law's adoption.
But in 2017, the United States took in 33,000 refugees. That figure marks a sharp decline from the roughly 97,000 refugees resettled in 2016 and the lowest amount since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when the government suspended refugee admissions for three months.
The rest of the world admitted about twice as many refugees last year, at 69,000.
The analysis also highlights a sharp decline in U.S. refugee resettlements from 2016. The Obama administration notched a high that year, admitting 97,000 refugees.
The report notes that the U.S. often touted its refugee admissions to encourage other countries to also take in more people. Canada and Australia also saw a decrease in admissions in 2016. But Canada led the world by resettling 725 refugees per 1 million residents, a per-capita high.
President Trump Donald John TrumpCould Donald Trump and Boris Johnson be this generation's Reagan-Thatcher? Merkel backs Democratic congresswomen over Trump How China's currency manipulation cheats America on trade MORE on the campaign trail called for cracking down on refugee admissions, arguing that the U.S. poorly vets them.
Trump last year decided to slash the number of refugee admissions to 45,000. The 1980 law allows presidents to set a cap on that number. Trump's cap was the lowest set for resettling refugees.
Trump had previously lowered the refugee cap to 50,000 in his executive order barring travelers from some Muslim-majority countries. The first version of that travel ban also temporarily halted refugee resettlements.
The administration lifted the halt on the refugee program in January, as it vowed higher scrutiny of refugees.
"These additional security measures will make it harder for bad actors to exploit our refugee program, and they will ensure we take a more risk-based approach to protecting the homeland," Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen Kirstjen Michele NielsenTrump quietly rolled back programs to detect, combat weapons of mass destruction: report Trump's family separation policy has taken US to 'lowest depth possible,' says former immigration lawyer Four heated moments from House hearing on conditions at border facilities MORE said in a statement in January.
Would-be refugees — identified by UNHCR — undergo extensive examination before setting foot in the United States, including interviews with the FBI and health evaluations.
The administration's moves on refugees have alarmed human rights groups.
Ken Isaacs, Trump's pick to lead the top United Nations agency for migration, also lost his bid recently after comments he made disparaging Muslims and doubting climate change resurfaced.

Suzuki bares the plans for TMP's expanded motoring program.
The Toyota Vios Cup has become one of the largest grids in Asia. More than 70 race cars have been sold, and it has produced a new generation of racing superstars who are now making a name for themselves in the global arena.
Some of the highlights of the previous runs are the historical street races done in the Toyota SRP Cebu Street Circuit, the Vios Cup McKinley West Circuit in Taguig, the Manila South Circuit in Filinvest, Muntinlupa, and the Manila Bay Street Circuit in the Mall of Asia Complex.
For 2019, Toyota is expanding its program to embrace the spirit of waku doki, or fun to drive, not only to racers but enthusiasts as well.
The Toyota Vios racing festival now has two exciting race series, namely the Vios Circuit Championship and the Vios Autocross Challenge.
The launch of the Toyota racing festival will be in the second quarter of this year with the start of the Vios Autocross challenge. This competition will be open to racers, media and motoring enthusiasts.
The Vios Circuit Championship will begin in June, and is expected to have at least 35 cars on the grid.
This year, the Vios Circuit Championship will feature an expanded format and the 2019 Vios race car model, which is being developed by Toyota Motor Philippines in partnership with Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) and series organizer Tuason Racing.
Toyota Motor Philippines' president Satoru Suzuki announced that despite 2018 being a difficult year for the motoring industry, Toyota was able to hold its ground and was once again able to achieve its 17th triple crown (best-selling passenger vehicle brand, best-selling commercial vehicle brand, and best-selling brand overall).
Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. vice chair Alfred Ty leads the toast with TMPC president Satoru Suzuki, TMPC executive vice president Kei Mizoguchi and TMPC senior vice president for Marketing Jing Atienza.
"Toyota was able to hold its ground. It was truly a challenging year, and we are hopeful that this year will be more auspicious," said Suzuki during a media thanksgiving event held last Jan. 25 at the Grand Hyatt Manila.
Toyota likewise announced the comeback of the Toyota Racing School, where people get to try real race cars on a real race track, a truly unique experience for a fraction of the cost.

Times are rough. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are either sitting at home unable to work, or furloughed and working without pay. There is no end in sight to the government shutdown and the ripple effect is vast. Families are finding it difficult to feed their kids, small businesses and local communities are suffering and our nation is less secure with a number of FBI and TSA workers on leave. But as we struggle to stay positive in this climate of fear, insecurity and division, every now and then, there is a tiny glimmer of hope.
Over the long weekend, we felt a bit of that elusive sense of hopefulness as Senator Kamala Harris announced her candidacy for President of the United States. Senator Harris, a Howard University graduate and AKA soror who is the daughter of immigrant parents from Jamaica and India, is a breath of fresh air; she is the literal embodiment of so much that Donald Trump dislikes. Like many other women, people of color and just frustrated folks in general, I say: Bring it on, Kamala!
There was tremendous symbolism in Harris' announcement on Monday. She chose Martin Luther King Day to officially launch the Kamala Harris for the People campaign. The announcement was also timed with the 47th anniversary of the week in which Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman and first African American to run for a major Party's Presidential ticket, announced her candidacy.
Instead of going the usual Iowa route, Harris instead has decided to hold her first campaign event in South Carolina on Friday, followed by a rally in Oakland on Sunday. It's clear that her messaging, outreach and focus are different because she comes to the table with different experiences from many of her counterparts. And, we're so here for the multiple ways in which Harris has already integrated her blackness into her campaign strategy.
Harris' campaign video emphasizes truth, justice, decency and equality and she says that "They're the values we as Americans cherish, and they're all on the line now." As we've seen during her time in the Senate, Harris is a fierce fighter, holding people's feet to the fire, whether during confirmation hearings or through her daily work.
Her current platform includes supporting Medicare for all, billions in tax credits to low-income renters and programs that can provide low-income families with cash payments of up to $500, marijuana legalization, a $2.8 trillion middle-class tax plan, reforming the cash bail system and much more. She's also been strong on curbing maternal death rates, especially among Black women who continue to die at three to four times the rate of white mothers in the U.S. according to the CDC.
In just the first 24 hours since Harris' announcement, she has already raised an astounding $1.5 million. So, it's no surprise that many are threatened by her ability to resonate with a broad spectrum of the electorate that is tired of our corrupt, racist and greedy administration, and the atrocious environment that they have created in our country.
Almost on cue, we're seeing ugly attacks against Harris including a retread of the 'birther' nonsense that Trump used against President Obama, with some on the far-right questioning when her parents became citizens, her true place of birth, whether or not she was raised in this country, her citizenship and therefore her eligibility to run for office. It's racist déjà vu all over again.
Now, there are some who have raised legitimate concerns about Harris' time as Attorney General in California and her record on criminal justice reform. While we have to hold candidates accountable, we must also allow them to explain themselves, study where they stand on the issues now, understand what their platform is for the future and then keep the pressure on them to stay true to their word. A person's record is important, but no candidate will ever be perfect and we will never agree with everything she or he does. Purity tests are dangerous because that can lead to apathy and low turnout, which we simply can't afford in 2020!
There's a lot to worry about at the moment. People are still being shot and killed by police, children are still in detention centers at the border and elsewhere, the cost of living continues to rise while wages remain virtually stagnant, hate crimes are increasing, division is the greatest it has been since the Civil War, and this President continues to use people as pawns for a wall to appease his base and symbolize xenophobia.
Our country has become an international laughingstock. However, through the uncertainty and frustration, there is that all, but important audacity of hope that Obama so effectively coined. Whether or not Kamala Harris eventually secures the Democratic nomination, her announcement has given me enough of that hope to believe that the long nightmare we are all currently in will eventually come to an end.

PPL named 2019 Investor-Owned Utility of the Year
ALLENTOWN– The Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) has named PPL Electric Utilities as the 2019 SEPA Power Players Investor-Owned Utility of the Year.
Now in their 11th year, the SEPA Power Players Awards honor utilities, their industry partners and individual thought leaders, providing the vision, models and momentum for the electric power industry's smart transition to a clean, modern energy future.
Chosen by an independent panel of judges with diverse experience in the electric power industry, PPL Electric Utilities and winners in six other categories will be celebrated at an awards gala on Monday, July 29, co-located with SEPA's Grid Evolution Summit in Washington, D.C.
"The utility industry is undergoing a period of transition and change. As a company, we're investing in digital and physical technologies to prepare for a future that embraces distributed, digitally enhanced and carbon-neutral technologies" said PPL Electric Utilities President Greg Dudkin. "Being recognized by SEPA is indeed an honor, but also a testament to the foresight and innovation exhibited by so many at PPL who are intent on blazing new trails to better serve the evolving needs of our customers."
PPL's award was a recognition of the company's comprehensive plan and strategy to prepare for the future by creating the next generation of advanced distribution management system functionalities through its Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS).
This system dynamically manages distributed energy resources (DER) connected to PPL's grid to optimize power quality, while encouraging the adoption of DER like solar. The DERMS enables PPL to host more interconnected DER because it leverages these resources to counteract some of the negative impacts that DER can have in high penetrations. Those impacts can include high line voltage or over-operation of capacitor banks.
"Now in their 11th year, the SEPA Power Player Awards received a record-breaking number of submissions, showing once again how the industry as a whole is working together to create meaningful and successful solutions to power our future," said SEPA President and CEO Julia Hamm. "From innovative platforms bringing smart homes to life, to unique partnerships implementing utility-DER customer interaction, these individuals and organizations are truly paving the way to clean and modern."

Sair García (Barrancabermeja- Colombia, 1975) Maestro en Bellas Artes de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (2001), actualmente se encuentra representado por la Galería Duque Arango. Su carrera artística que completa más de dos décadas, ha tratado de manera consistente diversos aspectos del conflicto armado colombiano. A través de la pintura, escultura e instalación, García se ha aproximado no solo a los actores activos del conflicto, sino al drama humano que termina por afectar tanto a los individuos, como a las instituciones, relaciones y dinámicas del territorio en disputa, en este caso particular el Magdalena Medio colombiano.

Su infancia y adolescencia trascurren en Barrancabermeja, a las orillas del Río Magdalena, principal arteria fluvial de Colombia. Desde su condición de ribereño, pero más que nada desde su rol como magdalénico, vive en los años 80's la transformación del río que, en palabras del artista, pasa de ser un elemento de desarrollo, un elemento lúdico, a ser un contenedor de miedo y de muerte.  Para 1988 García experimenta en primera persona el infortunio del conflicto armado colombiano con la desaparición de uno de sus hermanos, quien a 2022 completa 34 años desaparecido. Este acontecimiento sumado al recrudecimiento de la violencia y el fortalecimiento de los grupos armados en el Magdalena Medio cuyo apogeo se da en los años 80's y 90's, abre para dicho artista un espectro de cuestionamientos en torno al conflicto, el desplazamiento, la desaparición forzada, etc; pero también en torno a temas como el duelo, el desarraigo y el abandono estatal.

Hacia el año 1996 ingresa a la Universidad Nacional de Colombia por lo que se traslada de manera permanente a la ciudad de Bogotá. A mediados del año 2001, próximo a finalizar sus estudios superiores obtiene el Premio Phillips de Arte para Jóvenes Talentos en la ciudad de Bogotá, lo que lo llevó a representar a Colombia en el Concurso Latinoamericano de Arte Joven en Sao Paulo, Brasil; allí obtuvo también el primer puesto pero esta vez a nivel Latinoamérica. Este fue solo el inicio de la carrera de un artista cuyo principal ejercicio es el de la memoria y el reconocimiento respetuoso y empático de las dinámicas de violencia presentes en nuestro país.

A través de obras que apelan de manera primordial al lirismo poético para el tratamiento de temas sensibles, García apuesta por una visión del conflicto que se enfoca en lo humano y que traslada dichos fenómenos de lo local a lo global. Asimismo, con la belleza lóbrega de sus piezas ha llevado esta invitación de no olvido a países como Estados Unidos y China, pasando también por Cuba, Grecia, Rusia, Brasil, México, Italia, Alemania, Francia, Bélgica, Hungría, Corea, Singapur, entre otros.

Obra
Sair García desarrolla su trabajo a partir de series en las cuales emplea diferentes elecciones formales que además de aportar compositivamente a sus obras, les proporcionan una fuerte carga simbólica, metafórica y referencial. Así, su producción artística abarca desde el uso del tradicional óleo o acrílico sobre lienzo en el caso de las series Atmósferas y Palafitos (2001-2004), Realidades Paraleras (2008-2011) y La Arqueología del Oficio (2017-Presente); hasta soluciones plásticas que incluyen el uso de elementos como el petróleo en la serie Éxodos (2008- presente); el acero o la plata de ley 925 en el caso de la serie Magdalena (2013-Presente), o el cristal en Souvenir (2016), etc.

Aunque su principal medio de expresión ha sido la pintura, García ha creado un diálogo donde el tema se halla potenciado en la materia que lo hace tangible. Así, el acero se ha hecho metáfora del río; el petróleo encarna la bruma que envuelve a quien, por la violencia, pierde su raíz para enfrentarse a lo desconocido; la interacción entre cristal grabado y la luz, da ilusión de vida a aquella imagen del desaparecido con la que su familia lo busca hasta la fatiga. Todo ello, en el marco de un postulado poético que busca decir sin obviedades ni revictimización.

I just realize I never blogged this shoot with some of my favorite people ever! My Brother and Sister in Law and their perfect little niece Addy. At the time of the shoot they were expecting their second girl Elsie! She's now walking around and really becoming a cool little lady! But for now let's hop in the time machine and have a look at these photos taken at Decew Falls. Addy clearly loves me as shown in the last picture!

Q: Type-Punning a pointer inside of incompatible but equivalent structs correctly My goal is something like this:
void alloc(*x)
{
    x->ptr = malloc(100);
}

int main()
{
    struct { int z; int *ptr; } foo;
    struct { int z; double *ptr; } bar;

    alloc(&foo);
    alloc(&bar);
    return 0;
}

The function alloc shall allocate memory for different kind of structs, which are all basically the same, but use different pointers.
My attempts for a solution would look like this:
struct generic {
    int z;
    void *ptr;
};

void alloc(void *x)
{
    struct generic *tmp = x;
    tmp->ptr = malloc(100);
}

or:
union generic {
    void *p;
    struct {
        int z;
        void *ptr;
    } *g;
};

void alloc(void *x)
{
    union generic tmp = {.p = x};
    tmp.g->ptr = malloc(100);
}

Are they correct or do they break strict-aliasing as the actual parameters are not compatible with the generic-struct and dereferencing x or tmp.g is not valid?
Further, granted that this was violating strict-aliasing, how would it have an impact?
Strict-aliasing is used for not reloading specific values under the assumption that they could not have been modified when they weren't aliased in a correct manner (char*, void*, union, compatible type).
alloc() is called with a void-pointer as its parameter which may alias, so the caller can't assume that the underlying data won't change. Inside of alloc() I would exclusively use the type-punned pointer. So where could something go wrong in this scenario by not reloading correctly?

A: You can put the second member in a struct (to avoid pointer compatibility problems).

C99 6.2.5.26
All pointers to structure types shall have the same representation and alignment requirements as each other.

Then you can use a union for type punning (to avoid strict aliasing problems).
struct generic
{
    int z;
    union
    {
        struct {int i;} i;
        struct {double d;} d;
    } *ptr;
};

void alloc(struct generic *x)
{
    x->ptr = malloc(100);
}

int main(void)
{
    struct generic foo;
    struct generic bar;
    alloc(&foo);
    alloc(&bar);
    return 0;
}

You get the inconvenience of having to access the member of the struct. If you use gcc or any C11-compatible compiler, you can bypass that problem with anonymous (unnamed) struct members.
There seems to be no way this won't work with a conforming implementation.

A: Neither snippet is portable.
As for the first one, tmp's type is not compatible with that of the object pointed to by x, namely struct { int z; int *ptr; } or struct { int z; double *ptr; }. Thus dereferencing tmp is in violation of the strict aliasing rules.
The problem with the second snippet is that having a union of pointers with incompatible types would only tell the compiler that the pointers themselves are aliased, not the objects they point to, so it's still breaking strict aliasing (for more information on strict aliasing, see here).
Also what both snippets ignore is that different types of pointers can actually have different internal representations (although rare), that's why type-punning a double pointer to a void pointer and later on using it as a double pointer again results in the pointer's bit pattern getting simply reinterpreted, but not converted, possibly yielding a trap representation and hence an invalid pointer (for more information on internal pointer representations, see here).
In conclusion, the overall approach of both snippets is not portable and needs to be rethought.


Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) first published The Lorax in 1971. And, it was destined to join the ranks of his most popular (and controversial) children's books.
Yep, you probably know about The Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham. They're tongue-twister classics, with the most marvelous illustrations. But, do you know that The Lorax appeared on the "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children" list (National Education Association), as well as the "Top 100 Picture Books" list (School Library Journal). It's crazy memorable, poignant, and even has a message that may just save the trees.
Of course, the popularity is great! It's been widely adapted, and beloved by readers, young and old. With that madcap bestseller status, though, there's the other side of the story. Beyond the rave reviews, The Lorax has inspired controversy, even censorship and book banning.

In the Performance Cruiser category, the Arcona 435 won. She follows the typical Scandinavian model of a sporty performance cruiser: stiff, solid, with a comfortable and fully-fledged interior, which makes her relatively heavy. On the other hand it has modern lines with a wide stern, a contemporary sail plan with little overlapping genoa and a mighty main. She impresses with a precise and responsive feeling at the rudder and very good performance.

    PDest.Cells(3, 1), TableName:="Source1Pivot")

' Set up the table with the data fields, all works perfectly

'For the new Pivot Table:
lRow = Sheets("Source2").Cells(Sheets("Source2").Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
lCol = Sheets("Source2").Cells(1, Sheets("Source2").Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

Set PRange = Sheets("Source2").Cells(1, 1).Resize(lRow, lCol + 1)
Set PDest = Sheets("Source2 Summary")

Set PCache2 = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
    PRange).CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:= _
    PDest.Cells(3, 1), TableName:="Source2Pivot")

At this point, no new Pivot Table is created, and adding fields does not work. The macro ends with "Source2 Summary" being blank.
I did verify that the new lRow and lCol were pulling from the Source2 page. Can you see something silly that I've missed? I haven't been able to find any information about setting up a new pivot with new source on a new page... presumably because it usually just works!

A: You are setting prange to two columns wider than your underlying data, so the PivotTable can't be created because there are no column headers for those blank columns.


Discovering the perfect window treatments for Southern California homes is probably the most enjoyable part of working in home design and fashion. And few kinds of windows offer the same design challenge as casement windows do. As opposed to typical sliding windows, casement windows are hinged on one or more sides, and so they swing in and out to open and shut.
Because they work in such a unique way compared to most other windows, they need a slightly different approach when choosing the perfect window treatment. Let's take a look at how to find a great casement window treatment.
Ease of use - No matter if your casement window operates by a crank or lever, you need to be able to easily open and shut your window without the trouble of a window treatment getting in the way.
Ability to fit the depth of your window - Various casement windows may have differing depths between the wall and the window, which means some window coverings may not fit the space.
Coverage - Unlike sliding windows which usually can only open partway, nearly all casement windows will be able to open all the way. A large range of light control will let you get an ideal amount of light without forfeiting the effective ventilation that casements add.
So which is the right window covering for Southern California casement windows? Since there can be some variation between various casement windows (hinge position, window jamb depth, etc), it's a good idea to set up an in-home consultation so a window treatment professional can help match you with your own best fit.
There is no going wrong with plantation shutters on casement windows. Whether a casement is hinged at the top (known as an "awning"), the bottom (a "hopper"), or from the sides, plantation shutters can be custom-made to match the way in which your window operated. That also ensures that the shutter won't block the opening mechanism, whether it's by crank or lever, and can fit either directly into your window jamb or on top of them so the depth of your window isn't a problem.
Shutters can be put in around the window opening to ensure full use of the opening mechanism. Furthermore, you won't have to worry about suspended material blowing in the wind or being left exposed when you need your window open.
Lastly, shutters open up a wide world of coverage options for your window. Say you need to circulate a lot of fresh air into your house, but want to keep the light level low. Just open your casement window, but set your shutter louvers slightly open so that you can your ideal brightness and circulation. That level of control is only achievable with plantation shutters.
A less sophisticated option than shutters, shades offer chic looks and an effective framing to your window, without blocking the unique opening mechanism. Since shades are always installed on top of the frame, there's no reason to fret about which direction the window is hinged or how deep its jamb is. Shades can simply be pulled to the top when the window opens, so your view and airflow stay undisturbed.
As we've said, casement windows can differ in a couple ways, so there can be other window coverings that fit just as well for your space.

. If that's you, then perhaps the last thing on your mind right now is how you can use your money to help others, and that's very reasonable. But let's project forwards in time, to say 6 months or a year from now. Depending on the business you've started, and your own financial thermostat, you could be earning 5 or perhaps even 6 figures per month. At the moment, this might seem like pure fantasy, and I'll get into why it might seem like that another time. For now, let's imagine that you've been able to give up your day job, and money is no longer a worry. What do you do now? It's no great secret that we all need to have a bigger purpose in life. Most of us who've been around for a while know that. But what if you've not found a purpose, other than to have financial freedom? What do you do now? Do you simply aim to earn even more money? Will that help you find your purpose? Clearly no. It's easy to see that now. But if you put off thinking about it for too long, you could become amongst those who never discover a meaningful purpose, or mission, in life. Having a mission might sound strange, but really I'm just talking about having a goal that's bigger than you - something that will excite you and create a sense of fulfilment in you that grows as you put your time and effort into it. If you make money itself to be your primary purpose or mission - perhaps so that you can gain status or recognition from others - then you'll be very likely to be in for a nasty shock down the line sometime. Money itself can never produce a sense of worth. In fact, the opposite can be true: the more money you have, the more meaningless your life can easily seem, if you're not careful. At first, this might seem a strange end-point to reach, especially if you come from a difficult financial situation, or a poor background. But it's important to think about now. One reason why this undesirable outcome can can occur is because money ultimately brings financial and personal independence. But that's all it does. Wealth, on the other hand, brings freedom - freedom to you, and to people around you. Robert Kiyosaki (of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame), is well known for his pithy saying: "Money flows. It has velocity". It's where the money flows to that is important. Your wealth is really what's inside you - inside your thinking, in how you deal with people, in what you think about life. It's not how much money you have. That's why you need to think about a bigger purpose - something higher to aim for, that's bigger than you. It's fundamental to how human relationships flourish. Your true wealth can only really be measured by how many lives you positively affect, not how much money there is in your bank account. You might be scoffing at this, perhaps thinking "It's OK for him, he doesn't know what it's like being broke". Well, as I write this, I do. I know all too well what it's like. I've been there. I know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night suddenly, wondering whether or not I've gone over my over-draught limit on my bank account yet again. Or hoping that the economy won't affect my job. What I'm saying is this: if you've haven't done this yet, start thinking about bigger dreams than just the personal ones. Yes, think about the fun things you'd like to do with your new-found financial independence - plan on having fun, and lots of it (you've almost certainly got some catch-up time here!). But also think about something outside of your own personal or family relationships too. The bigger your dream, the more wealth you'll have to offer others. That's where real fulfilment happens. Don't wait until you have financial independence to start thinking about these things. By then it might be too difficult to change the direction things seem to be moving in. I'm not saying you have to have your gameplan mapped out in minute detail now - after all, you've possibly got genuinely pressing circumstances dominating your thinking right now. All I'm saying is: start giving your mission or purpose some consideration now. It'll help you keep going when you get setbacks and difficulties like nothing else can, and more importantly, it will be an important part of the groundwork for ultimate fulfilment for you & others in the times ahead.

Game Review: Iowa State 17, Texas Tech - The Defense
By Seth C Oct 7, 2007, 10:04pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Game Review: Iowa State 17, Texas Tech - The Defense
Defensive Line: This defensive line gave up 100 yards rushing for the game and gave up 42 for three quarters. Let that sink in for a second. This Texas Tech defense which has been rightfully criticized for being porous against the rush, was outstanding on Saturday night. As I watched the game I wanted to focus on the defensive line and there's no doubt that the line got a push on the ISU linemen and they contained the running backs and Meyer for most of the night. Henley was all over the field, he seemed like he was in the backfield quite a bit. Colby Whitlock is learning on the job and he's getting better with each and every game. I think he's done a better job of getting leverage and not being so tall. Brandon Williams was good as was Jake Ratliff, who finally got pressure on the opposing quarterback. Collectively, the group finished with 21 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss of 32 yards, 3 sacks and 5 quarterback hurries. Stand up guys, you deserve a standing ovation.
Participated: Jake Ratliff, Colby Whitlock, Rajon Henley, Brandon Williams, Clint Stoffels, Sandy Riley, Daniel Howard, Tyler Yenzer, Brian Jones, and Richard Jones.
Linebackers: Marlon Williams is a leader. He is the absolute unquestioned leader of this defense and it shows on the field. Marlon started at middle linebacker, he played more on the strongside than at any other position. Brian Duncan played a ton at middle linebacker, probably 3/4 of the game and Bront Bird played almost every third down situation. This entire group helped contribute to the overall run-stuffing defense. Brian Duncan had 9 tackles leading the team. That's the way it should be. As a group here's the damage, 26 tackles. 0.5 tackles for a loss for 1 yard. Lots of tackles and little rushing, that's success.
Participated: Marlon Williams, Paul Williams, Brian Duncan, Julius Howard, Bront Bird, Ryan Hale, and Victor Howard.
Secondary: An outstanding effort for the secondary, however, watching the game I thought Meyer looked horrible. I don't know if that's to credit the secondary or a statement on Meyer. ISU completed less that 50% of his passes and managed only 1 touchdown late in the 4th quarter. The defensive play of the game was from Darcel McBath where he recovered a fumble for 16 yards for a touchdown. I cannot tell you how big of a boost it is to the offense to see the defense pick up the slack. It really gets the entire team excited. That's what you expect, turnovers and capitalizing on those turnovers. The most important thing to note, is that the entire secondary, and I mean the entire group, were excellent in the open field and all made solid tackles and limited ISU to the reception and nothing more. Another good sign: McBath and Garcia finished the day with 4 tackles total, which means that they weren't having to help with the run or the pass. Good stuff. The secondary ended with 21 tackles.
Participated: Jamar Wall, Joe Garcia, Darcel McBath, Marcus Bunton, Daniel Charbonnet, Anthony Hines, Lance Fuller, LaShawn Vation, Jordy Rowland, and Steven Harris.
Special Teams: Bad news here. L.A. Reed was injured last night and by the second half he was walking around on crutches. I don't even want to speculate on the severity of his injury, but it didn't look good. Reed is a special teams' ace and is vital to the overall success of this phase of the game. Alex Trlica had no opportunities for a field goal, but was good on all of the extra points. Trlica averaged 69 yards a kickoff, which is almost to the goal line. LaCour averaged 41.7 yards a punt. Some were better than others, but for a freshman, he's just fine. Defensively, Texas Tech limited ISU to 19.7 yards per kick-off return and there were no punt returns from the Cyclones.

Guy I know witnessed an attack something like this a few years back. He pulled his gun, and told the attackers to back off. The victim suffered no lasting injury.

New Jersey law makes it hard to be a good guy with a gun.
Last night at this time, silence on the mountain.

The progressive left indoctrinates students. And then sends them forward to sway public opinion.
It's a proven path to gaining political leverage.
The statist subvert the kids first because they are the most malleable to support the goals of the state. For years after the Bolsheviks took over Russia and it became the Soviet Union, there was an organization that was formed to indoctrinate the young, they are called the Young Pioneers and besides learning the tenets of Marxism, they also were used to spy on the parents and the kids would rat out their parents if they did something that violated the decrees from the local communist party commissar.
Our schools used to teach students about the indoctrination habits of Nazis and Communists. I wonder if they still do. Now too many of our government run schools seem to largely follow their pattern.
Quiet afternoon on the mountain. Silence except for an occasional passing jet at maybe 20,000 feet (Easy to hear with no competing sounds).
Lots of firewood left at the end of this winter season. Then again, some of those remaining stacks are still aging for next season. And there's a mess of wood to be split that should give good burning into the 2019-2020 time frame.
Washington DC, March 24, 2016.
Looks a lot like something out of Germany, sometime in the early 1930s into the '40s.
Media was full of hype over the weekend, letting us 500,000 or 600,000, maybe even 800,000 mostly student activists packed Washington DC for an anti-gun rally.
According to CBS, a professionally generated tally of march size came in much, much lower.
With celebrities and the entire gun-control movement likely spending millions to make this rally what it was, it's doubtful they'll ever admit how far below expectations the turnout was.
YouTube will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories, including bump stocks, which allow a semi-automatic rifle to fire faster. Additionally, YouTube said it will prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms. The video site, owned by Alphabet Inc.'s Google, has faced intense criticism for hosting videos about guns, bombs and other deadly weapons.
Enforcement of the new policy is said to kick-in in April.
Can someone tell me why the @NRA is being blamed despite the FBI being warned twice, local police visiting Cruz over 20 times, and there being a police officer who stood idly by while the kill occurred?

An abuse of taxpayer funds, they say.
Some Democrats on Capitol Hill want to crack down on members of Congress who sleep in their offices.
I think what Democrats mean is they want to limit office holders to being people of means who can afford expensive DC housing and other high costs of existing inside the beltway.
They want economic barriers to holding office to fend off potential challengers.
I see nothing wrong with a rep crashing in his/her office especially early in a first term, keeping them close to the business at hand while learning the wider lay of the land.
A new narrative emerges in the Stoneman Douglas High School massacre.
Nikolas Cruz was a bumbling, incompetent gunman with a cheap AR-15, only 10-round magazines, and maybe some defective ammo.
And it was a jam in Cruz's sub-par rifle that ended the shooting while deputies cowered outside.
And they wonder why some of us don't buy into the whole disarmament game.
Gun control is so vicious and emotional a topic for the Left because of the disdain progressives have for the kind of people who own guns.
Most the Parkland kids we see pitched as "survivors" of the Stoneman Douglas shooting may not have been anywhere near the building on campus where shootings took place. I'm not even sure it's fair to call them witnesses to the shooting, let alone survivors. To be deemed a survivor suggests overcoming an injury caused in the event or, at the very least, having been in direct and immediate peril.
Did any of the Stoneman Douglas students now making regular appearances pitching gun control even see the shooter or his weapon on campus on the day of the shooting?
You are considered a survivor of a ship wreck if the ship sinks and you are rescued. But if a limited part of the ship is damaged in a storm or by an attack, and you are on another part of the ship, are you a survivor of the incident?
How many times are soldiers engaged in battle, but are not wounded or injured. How about the support troops, perhaps at the embattled location, but not directly involved in hostilities? Do we bestow upon them the title of "survivor"?
Was every student on campus at Virginia Tech deemed a survivor of the mass shooting event there in 2007?
Maybe the term survivor is being applied too broadly in post-event reporting of the Stoneman-Douglas shootings. Strikes me, the term survivor is being exploited to elicit emotion and bestow credibility to teenage activists pushing an agenda rather than to accurately describe what role they had, or how close to the threat they were, when the actual violence took place.
I'm also curious. Was it media that first bestowed the survivor title on the young campus activists? Or is that how they pitched themselves before making their first media appearance?
To raise the minimum firearms purchase age to 21 means 18 year olds will go outside the present purchase path, go directly to ways that circumvent background checks in acquiring a firearm.
After age 18, a parent no longer has access to a child's medical records, may not know what care they are receiving, or know what meds they are on.
But with age now rising to 21 for firearms purchases in some states, or at some retailers, it's likely parents will still be their buyers, as they now are for 15, 16 or 17 year olds.
Raising the gun purchase age actually obstructs the background check process rather than enhancing it.

HM Prison Leicester is a Category B  men's Local prison, located on Welford Road in the centre of Leicester, Leicestershire, England. The term 'local' means that the prison holds people on remand to the local courts, as well as sentenced prisoners. Leicester Prison is operated by His Majesty's Prison Service, and is situated immediately north of Nelson Mandela Park (formerly Welford Road Recreation Ground).

According to Colin Crosby, a Blue Badge guide based in Leicester, tourists invariably ask if the prison is 'Leicester Castle', due to the embattled, medieval design of its frontage, and its unique appearance has also made it one of the city's most celebrated landmarks. Known throughout the nineteenth century as the 'County Gaol', today the prison has become synonymous with the thoroughfare on which it stands, and is commonly referred to as 'Welford Road Prison', or simply, 'Welford Road'.

History
The prison was designed by Leicester county surveyor William Parsons to resemble a castle and cost £20,000.  The oldest part dates from 1825, and it was opened in 1828.  The gatehouse including the adjoining building to north and south and the perimeter wall are grade II listed.

The journalist William Cobbett, who wrote about his journeys around England in the early 19th century, criticised the people of Leicester for being proud of their new prison, feeling that it would be more praiseworthy to have an absence of crime.

The prison's distinctive, red brick perimeter walls are thought to be the highest in the country, with an estimated height of 30 feet.

The only known escape by a prisoner through scaling the wall was an ill-fated one, made by renowned 'safe-blower', Albert Hattersley on the evening of 18 December 1953. Hattersley made his way through a skylight in the prison's workshop and used webbing and a long pipe which he had broken from a wall in the workshop toilets to help him scale the wall. He then chose to drop by his fingertips from a part of the wall which was located above the governor's garden, in the hope that the soft earth would help break his fall. However, Hattersley suffered a broken ankle, with his right tibia protruding the skin. After several hours on the run, he was re-captured the following day.

In 2014, it was reported that prison officers had thwarted a similar plan for an escape over the wall by an inmate who was serving six years for robbery. In describing what was envisaged by the inmate as a "Shawshank Redemption-style prison break", the Leicester Mercury reported that following a search of his cell, prison guards had discovered torn bed sheets tied together "to form ropes", along with mattress covers adjusted for use in negotiating barbed wire. It was reported that they also discovered a "boarded-up section" in the cell, with a panel that could be removed to access a hole the prisoner had been digging.

Building
The gatehouse, adjoining buildings and perimeter wall are Grade II listed. It was built between 1825-28 by William Parsons, the county surveyor, and received additions between 1844-46 by M.J. Dain.

Executions at Leicester Prison

There have been 23 executions carried out at Leicester Prison, between the years 1829 and 1953. The youngest person executed was John Swift, aged 19 in 1877, and the oldest was Thomas Bloxham, aged 62, in 1887. With the exception of the first four executions (carried out for offences of horse theft and highway robbery), all executions were carried out for offences of murder. All of those executed were male, with the exception of Sarah Smith in 1832 and there have been two triple executions, in 1829 and 1877, and two double executions, in 1903 and 1944.

19th Century public executions

Executions at Leicester Prison were originally carried out publicly, typically attracting many thousands of spectators.

On 20 April 1829, a triple execution was carried out in front of the newly opened prison when Charles Forrester (21), John Hinton (25) and William Varnam (24) were hanged for horse stealing. In reporting the incident, the Leicester Chronicle newspaper noted that after the executioner had pulled caps over the faces of the condemned men, "a short but painful suspense took place, owing to some difficulty in removing the bolt which causes the platform on which they stood, to fall". It was also noted that about half of the huge crowd that had assembled to watch the event were women and children.

On 7 April 1830, John Watkins (28) was hanged for highway robbery.

On 26 March 1832, a particularly large crowd attended the hanging of Sarah Smith, a 28 year old woman from Mountsorrel. She had killed Elizabeth Wood, a woman in her care, by adding arsenic to her tea. This was the only execution of a female to be carried out at Leicester Prison.

Also in 1832, a prisoner hanged at Leicester became one of the last two men in England to be gibbeted.  James Cook (21) was a bookbinder, convicted of the murder of his creditor Paas, a manufacturer of brass instruments, in Leicester. He was executed on Friday 10 August 1832 in front of the prison. Following his execution it was noted: "The head was shaved and tarred, to preserve it from the action of the weather; and the cap in which he had suffered was drawn over his face. On Saturday afternoon his body, attired as at the time of his execution, having been firmly fixed in the irons necessary to keep the limbs together, was carried to the place of its intended suspension."

His body was displayed on a purpose-built gallows, 33 ft high in Saffron Lane near the Aylestone Tollgate and, according to The Newgate Calendar, "thousands of persons were attracted to the spot, to view this novel but most barbarous exhibition; and considerable annoyance was felt by persons resident in the neighbourhood of the dreadful scene. Representations were in consequence made to the authorities, and on the following Tuesday morning instructions were received from the Home Office directing the removal of the gibbet."

Gibbeting was soon after abolished in England, in 1834

William Hubbard (23) was hanged on 1 April 1846, for the murder of his wife at Leicester, having cut her throat with a butcher's knife.

John Fowkes (45) was hanged on 19 March 1856 for the murder of his 20 year old nephew, John Acres Fowkes, at Snarestone.

The last public execution at Leicester Prison took place on 25 July 1856, when an estimated crowd of 25,000 gathered to watch the hanging of William ("Peppermint Billy") Brown, aged 33, for the murder of Edward Woodcock, a 78 year old tollgate keeper of Thorpe Arnold and his ten year old grandson James.

Following the Capital Punishment Amendment Act 1868 public executions were abolished and all hangings thereafter were carried out inside the prison, behind closed doors.

19th Century private executions

For a short period between 1876 and 1877, executions at Leicester appear to have been carried out at the Borough Gaol on Highcross, where two hangings are recorded as having been carried out - those of John Thomas Green (41) on 20 December 1876 and John Henry Starkey (28) on 31 July 1877. Both men were hanged for the murder of their wives.

Hanging was resumed at the County Gaol on Welford Road on 27 November 1877, when the last triple execution to be carried out at the prison took place. James Satchwell (28), John Swift (19) and John Upton (32) were executed for the murder of Joseph Tugby, a 65 year old pedlar. Tugby had been drinking with the three men at the Stamford and Warrington public house in Coalville before they had followed him and kicked him to death at a nearby railway bridge. The scaffold upon which Satchwell, Swift and Upton were hanged was specially strengthened for the job by the executioner, William Marwood.

On 16 August 1886, James Banton (27) was hanged for the murder of PC Thomas Barratt at Breedon-on-the-Hill by the executioner William Berry.

On 11 February 1887, Thomas Bloxham (62), was hanged for the murder of his 48 year old wife, Ann, at their home in Fairfax Street, Leicester. Bloxham, who believed his wife had been unfaithful, first attempted to shoot her with a revolver but missed, after which he cut her throat, almost severing the head. Bloxham then tried to commit suicide by turning the revolver on himself, but the gun misfired, at which point he gave up and called the police.

On 10 December 1894, John William Newell (42), was hanged for the murder of his wife at Loughborough. Newell had beat his wife to death with a coal hammer at their grocer's shop on Woodgate, believing that she had been sleeping with a lodger. After killing her, Newell went into the street and confessed of his deed to a patrolling policeman. His executioner was James Billington.

20th Century executions

There were eight executions at Leicester Prison during the twentieth century, between 1903 and 1953.

At 8 am on 21 July 1903, a double hanging took place in the prison's "execution shed", when Thomas Porter (29) and Thomas Preston (24) were hanged for the murder of PC William Adiel Wilkinson of Sileby. Both men protested their innocence before the trapdoor fell, after which the gaol bell was tolled and a black flag was flown from the roof of the prison to signal to the public that justice had been served. The executioner on this occasion was William Billington.

William Henry Palmer (50), a painter from Manchester, was hanged on 19 July 1911 for the murder of 72 year old Ann Harris at Walcote, near Lutterworth. The executioner was James Ellis.

Arnold Warren (32) was hanged on 12 November 1914 for the murder of his young son, James Warren.

Thomas William Thorpe (61) was hanged 23 December 1941 for the murder of his wife, Nellie. This was the first execution at the prison for 27 years.

A further double hanging was carried out at the prison on 8 August 1944. William Alfred Cowle (31) was hanged for the murder of Norah Payne in the city's Springfield Road, alongside William Frederick George Meffen (52), who had been sentenced to death for the murder of his stepdaughter in Derby. Their execution was performed by Thomas Pierrepoint, assisted by his nephew Albert.

The last execution was that of Joseph Christopher Reynolds (31), convicted at Leicester Assizes for the murder of Janet Warner, and hanged by Albert Pierrepoint on November 17, 1953.

Campaign for reform

In 2000, The Guardian newspaper highlighted calls for the prison's reform following the tragic discovery of two prisoners found hanging in the same cell. The newspaper reported that seven years earlier in 1993, Inquest, a charity which campaigns for the families of people who die in custody, had described HMP Leicester as the "suicide capital of the prison system".

In 2001 Leicester again hit headlines as a 'failing prison' and David Ramsbotham, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, declared that it should be shut down.

In 2004 the Prison Reform Trust described Leicester as one of the most overcrowded prisons in the country, and suggested that its true design capacity was around 200.

In November 2006 an inspection report from the Chief Inspector of Prisons criticised Leicester Prison after nine inmates died there in a 28-month period. Continued overcrowding and poor health at the prison were also highlighted.

The prison in 2014
Leicester is a local prison for adult males, sentenced and on remand from the local courts. The main living accommodation is a long rectangular cell block with four landings, with full integral sanitation and in cell electricity.

Employment for inmates at the prison centres around Education, Kitchen and Domestic Cleaners. Education at Leicester Prison is provided by People Plus(2018 to date) and is mainly focused on vocational and foundation subjects. The prison also has a library provision, gym and chaplaincy covering a variety of faiths.

The Texas climate is too hot and too dry right now for most of the 18 different kinds of scorpions in the state, according to Molly Keck of the Texas Agrilife Extension Service, which means they are heading indoors.
"They have to regulate their temperature and when they feel the cooler weather from the AC, they will squeeze inside," she said.
Keck said they tend to head to cool, dark, and lightly damp spots once inside.
"You will find them in the bathroom, the laundry room, maybe even under the kitchen counter — places where there is moisture," said Keck, an entomologist in San Antonio.
Keck said they have commando-like skills, such as crawling into your dryer even with the door closed.
"Sometimes, in the laundry room, they like to get in through the vents," she said. "If the vents don't have a good seal on them or a good kind of mesh screen on them, they'll come crawling in through there, so people will actually see them inside their dryer and they might get on their clothes after that."
The most common scorpion in Texas is the striped bark scorpion, which often falls from trees onto your roof, Keck said.
Despite two eyes on the top of their head and up to five more eyes on the corners of their heads, it's thought they rely more on body hairs to get around.
She said if you get stung by a scorpion, it probably was not intentional.
She said to prevent stings, make sure weather stripping around doors and windows is in good shape and don't forget to check the cover on your outdoor dryer vent. In general, be careful around cool and slightly moist places and things inside your home.
Outdoors, when it's hot and dry, she said scorpions hang out in wood piles, foundation cracks, under stones, and under tree bark, so stay away from those too or wear gloves.
According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy adults usually don't need treatment for scorpion stings. But if a child is stung, the same amount of venom may have more-serious consequences, so seek immediate medical care.

2012 NFL schedule: Chiefs host the Colts in Week 16
Rookie sensation Andrew Luck and the Colts come to town looking to lock up a playoff birth
By Thomas Todd Dec 19, 2012, 7:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: 2012 NFL schedule: Chiefs host the Colts in Week 16
Scott Boehm
By most metrics, the Kansas City is the worst team in the NFL. They are first in point differential (-172), tied for first in losses (12) and have scored the least amount of points of any team in the league (195). But with two games to go in the 2012 season, the Chiefs haven't locked up the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. But with the Colts on Sunday and a road game in Denver to close out the season, everything points to Kansas City ending up at 2-14.
The Colts come to town in control of their own destiny, needing just one win to clinch an AFC Wild Card berth. Andrew Luck has impressed by most standards, but especially when you compare him to other first-year quarterbacks. With 20 touchdown passes this season, Luck trails only Russell Wilson (21) for most by a rookie QB. He should also break Cam Newtown's record of 4.051 passing yards by a rookie in the first half against the Chiefs.
Jamaal Charles has been the lone bright spot for Kansas City this season. After a knee blow-out ended his 2011 season early, the Chiefs Pro Bowler has returned to form, rushing for 1,239 yards this season. And with an injury possibly keeping Brady Quinn out this week in favor of Ricky Stanzi, the Chiefs may lean more heavily on their feature back.
Here's the rest of the NFL schedule for Week 16:
Falcons at Lions; 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Raiders at Panthers, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
Bills at Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
Bengals at Steelers, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
Patriots at Jaguars, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
Colts at Chiefs, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
Saints at Cowboys, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Redskins at Eagles, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Rams at Buccaneers, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Chargers at Jets, 1 p.m. ET, CBS

Chester Zoo experts have released new details about a major family friendly campaign to raise awareness for some of the planet's most misunderstood species this Hallowe'en.
Spectacular acrobats, musicians and costumed characters will light up Chester Zoo for October half term as part of the attraction's first ever large scale Hallowe'en event – as an evil sorcerer tries to steal the superpowers of the nocturnal animals.
Now for the first time, with thousands of tickets already booked up, zoo bosses have unveiled extra information about the true stars of the show – the animals themselves.
From the incredible burrowing skills of aardvarks to the super sensitive hairs of the Montserrat tarantula, conservationists hope the fun family event will help boost efforts to protect rare animals by changing perceptions about some species and raising awareness of others.
Head of discovery and learning at the zoo Charlotte Smith said: "Most people may never have heard of an aye-aye, but they are the world's largest nocturnal primate and are quite magnificent. Their superpower – hearing – allows them to find grubs inside the bark of trees, before digging them out with their incredible long middle finger!
"Similarly, our Seba's bats have a superpower of their own. Their night time navigation skills are a match for the most sophisticated in built sat nav system!
"Even conservationists don't know much about the mysterious Montserrat tarantula! But we do know that it doesn't spin webs. Instead it lays silk traps for prey. Its body is covered in tiny hairs so it has super sensitive feeling powers and can sense when a creature triggers the trap.
"Meanwhile, our nocturnal aardvarks are much more cuddly looking and no less amazing. They might be sleepy in the day, but when they wake up their huge claws can dig down as far as three metres in search of food.
The Enchantment of Chester Zoo has been specially created for the zoo by the pioneering arts company Wild Rumpus - architects of the award winning Just So family arts festival.
From October 22-31, families at the zoo will meet a cavalcade of curious animal characters with incredible skills – from wise old owls to acrobatic spiders. They will have until dusk to break the sorcerer's spell as they discover the real life nocturnal animals and explore the dark fruit bat forest, search for aye-ayes in their shadowy habitat, discover the magnificent Montserrat tarantula and the amazing Aardvarks.
The Enchantment of Chester Zoo runs 10am–2pm each day from October 22–31 and is free with zoo entry, but booking is advised to guarantee a place.

I've been a fan of Future Islands since I first heard 'em a couple of years ago. This year, the synthpop trio from Baltimore released their third LP, On The Water, and it was an unexpected favorite of mine. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan and expected to like the album, but I didn't expect to like it so much. On The Water is a damn good album, one of the year's best. If you haven't given Future Islands a chance yet, now is the time. My favorite track is definitely "The Great Fire", which features some excellent guest vocals from Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner, and might just be my favorite song of the year.
I really like Telekinesis and was a big fan of their debut LP, Telekinesis!. So needless to say, I was really looking forward to their follow up this year. 12 Desperate Straight Lines is a lot of fun, full of catchy, indie pop songs that you can't help but to nod your head and tap your feet too. At first listen, I was certain my favorite track was going to be "Car Crash", and then I heard to "You Turn Clear In The Sun" and it was love at first listen.
2011 is more than half-way through and in a mere seven months, a boat-load of fantastic new music has hit the airwaves (we've also survived yet another prophesied apocalypse…not too shabby plant earth).
Anyways, I did this last Summer and it was fun to look back and see what albums held up when "Best of" season was full effect. So without further ado, I'm pleased to present my favorite albums of 2011 (so far) and be sure to check back in on December 15th to see if any of these picks make my Top 10.

Q: R fit restricted AR(p) model I have a question about using R to fit an AR model. If we want fit a AR(p) model, the equation will be $Y_t = φ_1Y_{t-1} + φ_2Y_{t-2} + ... + φ_pY_{t-p} + Z_t$.
What about I only want to fit the model like $Y_t = φ_1Y_{t-1} + φ_{11}Y_{t-11} + Z_t$? ($Z_t$ is white noise).
Does anyone know how to fit this model in R?

A: You can use the fixed parameter to arima(). Specify an AR(11) model and only allow the first, eleventh and twelfth (which is $\sigma^2$) parameter to vary:
> set.seed(1)
> foo <- ts(rnorm(100),frequency=12)
> model <- arima(foo,order=c(11,0,0),fixed=c(NA,rep(0,9),NA,NA))
Warning message:
In arima(foo, order = c(11, 0, 0), fixed = c(NA, rep(0, 9), NA,  :
  some AR parameters were fixed: setting transform.pars = FALSE
> model

Call:
arima(x = foo, order = c(11, 0, 0), fixed = c(NA, rep(0, 9), NA, NA))

Coefficients:
          ar1  ar2  ar3  ar4  ar5  ar6  ar7  ar8  ar9  ar10     ar11  intercept
      -0.0022    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0  -0.0364     0.1083
s.e.   0.1001    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0   0.1059     0.0864

sigma^2 estimated as 0.7976:  log likelihood = -130.6,  aic = 269.19

The Club has all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel and staff as attentive as I have experienced anywhere in the world.
It's the private deck that makes the Club stand out – or rather enables you to sit out and experience the magic of the river.

I was reading myself to sleep, when three times the lion roared. Loud. Defiant. Challenging. My wife, Lut, and I were in a tent of the Fairmont Mara Safari Club on the bank of the Mara River, and I had been thinking of the challenge our son, Jan, would be facing in the morning, as he pitted himself against the 50 kilometres of the UltraMARAthon to be run over three of the Mara's conservancies.
For me, the challenge of doing the 500 steps between our tent and the dining room was challenge enough. But, having seen Jan's chilly start only 30 minutes beyond dawn, Lut and I would be returning for a sumptuous breakfast at the Fairmont Club. So, to the whooping calls of a hyena, I smiled, warmed my feet on the hot water bottle, and snuggled down to sleep.
The Club has a magnificent position, where the Mara River bends and bends back on itself. At breakfast that first morning, we had a table on a wide terrace beside the river. The early morning clouds were already burning off, but we were shaded from the sun by a spreading fig tree.

There were a couple of hippos enjoying the cool water of the river below us. A grey-headed kingfisher was eyeing the ripples and, somewhere in the distance, an emerald-spotted wood dove was calling.
Inside, the Club has all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel – comfortable lounges, a dining room with a variety of well-presented dishes, a well-stocked bar – and staff as attentive as I have experienced anywhere in the world.
You can swim in the garden pool; you can have a massage in your tent. There was a TV discretely placed in a small lounge. So on Sunday evening I was able to sneak there on my own and watch the F1 in Saudi Arabia – the craziest of all this year's unrelenting contests between Hamilton and Verstappen.
Viewing deck on the river bank
Some years ago, I wrote an article expressing my disappointment at what Fairmont had done to the Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi. The interior décor was splendid, but the Delamere Terrace was no longer open to the street. Like the Stanley Hotel's Thorn Tree pavement café, the Norfolk's Terrace used to be a favourite meeting place for people of the city as well as for tourists. But then the Westgate bombing happened. It was no longer possible for the big hotels to have such an easy interface with the city.
However, Fairmont has found a way with its Mara Safari Club to have a better interface with its surrounding wildlife than any other largish lodge or camp has in the Mara or in any of Kenya's game reserves or conservancies.
The key feature is the viewing deck on the river bank that every one of the tents has. The tents are fairly standard for luxury safari camps. They have electricity for the lights; they have hot water for the basins and showers.
But it is the private deck that makes them stand out – or, rather enables you to sit out and experience the magic of the river, with its hippo and crocodile residents and its amazing variety of birds. As one guest wrote in, 'I have never been so connected to nature.'
The Club is in the Ol Choro Conservancy of the Masai Mara. We drove across it and the two other north-eastern conservancies a few times. All the plains games are there – herds of zebra, wildebeest and gazelles. There are elephants and giraffes; there are lions and leopards. There are no herds of minibuses.
Oh, yes, Jan did finish all the 50 kilometres. To paraphrase Sam Mussabini, the athletics coach in the film, Chariots of Fire: 'It wasn't the prettiest run I have ever seen, but it was certainly the bravest.'
