One might expect a blog with this title to appear around Valentine’s Day. The next major holiday, in any case, is Mother’s Day, and that’s not usually a “romantic” day—except for Oedipus, I suppose, poor fellow. Yet Mother’s Day could be romantic for the husband of the mother, that is to say the man married to the Mother of the House, for there is something quite admirable and even, I think, a bit romantic about being married to someone who has dedicated her life to being a mother.
I imagine my own wife that way—she is and will always be beautiful to me in no small part because of her unswerving dedication to our children and the family that she essentially supervises. And I would marry her all over again, if I could. And, you know, I think that’s at least a little romantic.
The word romantic nowadays would sometimes seem to have taken on a meaning quite different than what I have proposed here. In the news I recently stumbled upon an article about an actress named Anna Faris. I only mention her particular point of view because I think it is emblematic of a wider trend, not because I dislike Anna Faris—I actually have no idea who she is as I don’t watch television—but I did read that she is, perhaps ironically so, the star of a show called “Mom,” which seems apropos as we are leading up to Mother’s Day quite soon (May 13).
Anna Faris’ use of the word romantic struck me because it seemed to me off the mark, and at any rate certainly contrasts sharply with what I wrote above. In an interview of her by Erin Donnelly from a March 28th publication, Ms. Faris is quoted as having said that she is seeking to “figure out what the purpose” is of marriage is.
It is most certainly not the case that I am offended by Ms. Faris’ remarks, which for all their lack of cohesion, nonetheless make it abundantly clear that she is highly ambivalent about the institution of marriage. Rather, I just found the bit about how she is “romantic” to be rather incongruous. Isn’t romance something meant to last? Isn’t the whole idea of a romantic movie about finding a special someone with whom you can build a lasting relationship—one that will last “forever”—someone you can ride off into the sunset with, have children with, struggle through hunger, cold, and disease with, and still love at the other end of the journey. But maybe I’ve missed something. Maybe the meaning of the word romantic was transformed along the way into temporary or ephemeral or exciting but not enduring. Or maybe it just needs a qualifying adjective like “curable” in front of it. If there is an incurable romantic, surely there could be a curable one.
Yet I’ll bet even in this modern, frenetically paced, and often all-too-dispensable age in which we live, the word still has its traditional meaning. I think that for the person who is “a romantic” the notion of finding that special person still abides. That amatory affliction would, to my mind, be the incurable type, and that is how even Mother’s Day can be romantic.
Happy Mother’s Day to my wife and to all mothers. May you suffer the affliction of love, as Ovid might put it. I hope it turns out to be an incurable case.

Spring-boarded by Hattori, Matthew Trusler has rapidly emerged as one of the UK’s star violinists. He gave an assured performance, confident not showy, breathing new life into Brahms’ masterful Violin Sonata No.2. The evening benefited throughout from beautifully soft yet resonant accompaniment by Gordon Back at the fabulous Steinway. Establishing great empathy with the soloist it’s no surprise that the pianist is also Artistic Director of the Menuhin Competition. The dynamic range of the Allegro thrilled with its sudden dips into familiar lullaby-esque-ness. Trusler’s control of the melodic line of the Andante was something to be admired and, more than lulling, totally intoxicating. The sing-song motifs and double harmonies of the Allegretto rounded off his sensitive performance.
Trusler spoke engagingly of Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G minor, offering helpful insights into the maestro’s final opus composed at the outset of WWI. Matthew handled the fluttering lines of the Allegro well, netting the tender wings of an escaping butterfly. A piece that seems fresh every time, he more than did it justice (this alone securing a five-star rating) whilst the most intimate of venues lent to its magic. Beyond those delicately chiming chords on piano both musicians were one with the rhythms of the extraordinarily inventive and playful dialogue. The Finale drew a satisfied sigh and appreciative applause. Strikingly modern, it made a perfect bridge to the Romanian folk arrangements by Bartok.
I confess I couldn’t consistently distinguish Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances individually. Mind the gaps, perhaps, though the flow of their execution sparkled. Following the Sash Dance – a joyful tune given that subtle Bartokian edge – came the whistling-wistful harmonics of In One Spot, skilfully delivered yet effortlessly graceful. Then, a hornpipe and polka, two supremely confident turns by Trusler, strident and searing. OK, by now I’d lost my way but the final Fast Dance (an actual mash-up of two tunes) was excellent; foot-tapping and completely engaging, the music careening in mid-air. There followed some serious applause before the duo returned for a well-deserved encore, a handsome rendition of Kreisler’s Liebesleid. ‘Rush Hour Recitals’ anything but.
1901 Arts Club has cornered this corner of London, the balance so right, you can’t afford not to check it out. The Hattori tickets at £15 are worth every penny with or without the complimentary drink. Be kind to yourself and add another £6 for the Champagne option. Guests unlike me who did not have to ‘rush’ also enjoyed post-concert refreshments. No better start to anyone’s weekend.

Costain and Laing O’Rourke, a joint venture working on the redevelopment of Farringdon Station in central London, has won a prestigious Gold Green Apple Environment Award for its sustainable approach to building and construction.
The Green Apple Awards recognise environmental best practice and the business reasons behind employing environmental initiatives in order to safeguard the environment.
The project won by demonstrating how sustainable development can have both an environmental and economic benefit. For example, the team diverted 100% of the demolition waste from landfill which saved £365,000 in landfill tax, while reusing the rubble from the demolition removed the need for approximately 850 lorry movements which saved 30 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and approximately £70,000 on the cost of additional materials. For the new ticket hall, instead of using what would have amounted to 500 tons of steel, the team used an eco-reinforced alternative that was 95% recycled and responsibly sourced.
The project – a £189million contract which includes lengthening the platforms, refurbishing the existing listed station building and building a new entrance and integrated ticket hall, is now preparing for 12-car Thameslink trains to arrive on 12 December 2011. From 2018, Farringdon will become London’s newest transport hub and the only interchange between the north/south Thameslink and the east/west Crossrail route.
The initiatives at Farringdon illustrate the successful implementation of Costain’s long-term operational strategy, Costain Cares, which aims to promote a more sustainable business by addressing the growing needs of its stakeholders. Costain is trying to reduce the environmental impact of its work by minimising the amount of material it uses and waste it produces.

If there’s one thing an author might fear losing, it’s her eyesight. How can a writer continue to work having lost the faculty to see the sliding of the pen or the movement of letters across the screen? Reading, too, becomes a struggle, forcing the author to depend on books being read aloud or to learn a tactile writing system like Braille. For some legendary authors like James Joyce, loss of sight is a terrible obstacle, while for others it’s a changing force, one that ultimately becomes integral to the work and creativity of the author.
Not much is known about Homer. Even his very existence is debated. We don’t know where he lived, and scholars have established a wide range of four centuries in which he was possibly born. Despite sparse and presumptive details about his life, scholars have not refrained from speculating that Homer was blind.
It is true that poetry was oral long before it was written. Homer’s Iliad was not written down until centuries after it was composed, and the oldest manuscript of the work is Venetus A, which was written in the tenth century AD. For the early poet Homer, blindness would have cultivated a sharpened sensitivity to the musicality of words, as well as a trenchant understanding of how words are converted into images in the mind. While we are unlikely to know the truth about Homer, the myth that Western literature has its roots in the cognitive advantages of blindness prevails.
Perhaps no canonical author is more famous for circumventing the obstacles and appropriating the virtues of blindness than John Milton. Living in the 17th century, he benefited neither from Homer’s oral culture nor the availability of Braille (1824). The world of his literary vocation was thoroughly tethered to the flat, printed word of the book. When Milton decided to compose his masterpiece Paradise Lost, he composed verses of his poem and memorised them before dictating them to friends and assistants who transcribed his verses.
Milton lost his sight in the winter of 1651-52, threatening the career of an already accomplished man of letters. While he was yet to compose his magnum opus, he had lived a fully productive life. He had traveled Europe, meeting Galileo, among many intellectuals. He had written poetry (his first published poem, “On Shakespeare,” was included in the Bard’s second folio) and polemics like Areopagatica, which eloquently defended the freedoms of the press. He was immensely learned. Milton the polyglot was appointed Secretary for Foreign Tongue. In the role, he translated international documents to Latin and wrote propagandist tracts for the government.
As a writer, he was understandably upset by what he immediately confronted as a terrible impediment to his writing, and consequently, his ability to serve God. In understanding Milton’s blindness, it is essential to remember his ardent Protestant devotion and the religiosity of his time. His rivals believed his blindness to be a punishment for his criticisms of the King. Milton himself was forced to reexamine his purpose on Earth – a process artistically rendered in his poem “On His Blindness.” Ultimately, Milton refused to believe his blindness as punishment or even a considerable obstacle, and he began to transform this misfortune into a blessing.
Blindness was a superficial disability, but to Milton it was a divine benefit. In taking away his sight, he believed God was turning his preoccupations away from appearances and vanity, and instead, He was turning Milton’s insight inward so that he may become the preeminent English epic poet.
Joyce struggled with eye pain and failure for the latter half of his life. He was legally blind and was fortunate that his periods of blindness were outnumbered by his sighted periods. Joyce’s blindness was usually the result of surgeries performed to ameliorate his worsening eye pain. There is a small debate among Joycean’s about the author’s health. These arguments were reinvigorated last year by Harvard scholar Kevin Birmingham (The Most Dangerous Book) who claimed that his failing eyesight, as well as Joyce’s decades long struggle with insomnia and fainting spells, arose due to complications from syphilis acquired in his youth.
Unlike Milton and many of the authors on this list, Joyce was largely uninterested in overcoming his failing sight, and he hated the idea of dictating his work. Paranoia about blindness and ocular injury makes numerous subtle appearances in his work. For instance, Ulysses features a blind youth whom Leopold Bloom helps across the street. This boy crosses paths again with the promenading characters of the novel, not quite able to move purposefully. The eyes are also depicted as a battleground for justice in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, in which a warning has the child Stephen Daedalus anxious that eagles will gouge his eyes if he is sinful. This sense of loss of sight as a neutering of vitality came to matter a lot to Joyce. There was a space of about twenty years between the publication ofUlysses and Finnegans Wake. The break was due in part to the mental health issues of his daughter and his eye pain. He spent 17 years writing his final novel, often writing through a small sliver of his eyes and using crayons to write as boldly as possible.
In allegiance with Milton and Joyce, Borges proves that blindness is not uncommon in the most visionary of authors. Borges was part of something of a flourishing of Latin American literature in the twentieth century.
Joyce’s ocular failures were tied to other bodily weaknesses, such as excruciating ulcers and crippling headaches, and with the man’s Irish stubbornness, we find Joyce substantially impeded by his blindness. Yet when we look at Homer, Milton, and yes, Borges, we find that Joyce’s creative difficulty is something of an anomaly. Borges went blind from an inherited eye disorder. He was taken care of by his mother (who lived well into her 90s) for his unsighted life, and turned to lecturing and teaching when the physical act of writing became impossible.
No story of the pedagogy of a disabled person became as famous as Helen Keller’s, partly due its dramatisation in works like The Miracle Worker. While deaf and blind since nineteen months old, she learned to read and write, producing her autobiography The Story of My Life. She was also an activist for such causes as female suffrage and worker’s rights.
Lewis was a leading figure of Britain’s modernist Vorticist movement and editor of the magazine BLAST. The inchoate Vorticism (a term coined by Ezra Pound) was essentially extinguished by the traumas of World War I, but Lewis remained a poet, dramatist, painter, and controversial voice until he became blind in the twilight of his life.
It is schoolbook myth that the philosopher and astronomer Galileo went blind from looking at the sun through his telescope. He went blind in his seventies, likely of glaucoma or cataracts, after the apotheosis of his scientific crusades.
Thurber was shot by a toy gun when he was a young boy, resulting in the loss of his left eye and the impairment of the other. As a result, he spent his youth being creative indoors and set the foundation for his life as a cartoonist and fiction writer.

Market resets is a tactic that gets a lot of focus from people who want to get into Auction House PvP. It can be supremely profitable, but it is also a massive potential pitfall. There are several people that have gotten burned. Today we will look at how and when you can reset a market.
Before we start I need to emphasize that resetting is a very risky endeavour. As evidenced by posts like this on r/woweconomy. Markets resets seem especially alluring for newer goblins. Generally I would stay completely away from them unless you have at least 1 million gold and feel very comfortable making gold with stable methods.
Resetting is very simple. You buyout all the auctions for a particular item and post it back on the auction house at a higher price. You can also do a partial reset by buying everything up to a threshold and reposting above (this is how my Legion material flipping operations work).
In addition to this resetting is generally better and more effective on smaller realms. The lower population means that you need to buyout less and there are fewer people that can undercut you or meddle in other ways.
There are obviously more candidates, but this should be enough to help you figure out what markets have potential.
When is resetting a good idea?
Now that we have the general conditions nailed down we need to figure out when it is a good idea to reset a market. You are looking for a time when there are relatively few items posted on the Auction house. If the current supply is limited it is easy to buy it all out and you can expect prices to stay decently high for a while.
For partial resets you want to look for markets where there is a marked gap in the pricing somewhere. As an example you can see the gaps from 1500 to 1650 and 1650 to 1949 in the screenshot below.
TSM has a reset scan option. It is found under the auctioning operation. You can enable reset scans for a group and set a maximum quantity to buy, max inventory quantity as well as maximum total cost, max cost per item and a minimum profit per item. It will look for various price points you can reset to by analyzing the current market. I have personally not used this much and I expect you would have to make some very specific operations for this to work optimally. As such I do not have any specific advise on how to set it up. The resetting scan results will show you the total cost for various amounts you can buy out as well as the target price based on that amount.
As we can see from my hastily set up operation I can potentially reset Legion materials for a 85k profit. My total cost is well above that as you can see from the total cost columns, so this is likely not worth it at these price levels.
The most important thing when considering resetting is to avoid the worst markets, as they are very risky. Most of the Legion material markets fall squarely in the “avoid” bucket. They can all be easily farmed and big time farmers will often have large stockpiles they can undercut you with. I would for the most part stay away from hard resets here, stick to flipping by buying well below market value. In general I would not expect to sell any substantial amount of Legion materials above 110% dbmarket.

It is always a good design practice to keep most generalized configuration settings in application configuration files (i.e., app.config or web.config) and very particular settings in external configuration files. Suppose you work with two different sets of connection strings (i.e., one for development and the other for production). You may also need to store other development- or production-specific settings separately. So, every time you want to test your application against one of these sets of databases, you will have to change an entire set of connection strings in your application config file, which involves more error-prone typing.
An alternative approach is to use two separate configuration files (such as dev.config and production.config) representing settings for development and production environments. You can then refer to a required .config file from your application configuration file using the attribute configSource, supported in .NET 2.0 and higher versions.
Similarly, you can use the configSource attribute with other config sections in the application configuration file, such as <appSettings>, <compilation>, etc.
You can check if this attribute is supported for a given section through Visual Studio IntelliSense.

I ventured into the midnight showing of Captain America and can say this, if you were hoping for a little more Iron Man 1 and little less Thor, well then you have gotten your wish. The movie is the origin telling of Cap, taking us from just before he joins the army as a scrawny army wannabe to his post super soldier serum glory.
Directed by Joe Johnston, most commonly known for the fun romp Jumanji and his similar period piece the Rocketeer, this movie doesn’t lack style. The period piece part of this movie lavishes on 40s era clothing, attitudes and manners of speaking. If I wasn’t aware of the property from the comics this may have gotten on my nerve, but this fell right in line with the pre-existent material and does nothing but add to the quick sense of humor. I couldn’t be happier that Chris Evans left the sinking ship that is the Fantastic Four movies for this property because he is a perfect fit. In fact, I would say one of the major triumphs of this movie is the casting. Tommy Lee Jones plays a brilliant Colonel and Hugo Weaving, oh hugo weaving. I honestly do not know if this man can be in a movie without being awesome, but I do have to admit avoiding the last two transformer movies. Stanley Tucci and Dominic Cooper are perfect fits for the German Ex Pat scientist Dr. Erskine and the young Howard Stark, respectively. Hayley Atwell rounds out the main cast as the tough, smart and endearing love interest Peggy. Bucky, played by Sebastian Stan, is also introduced and a version of his storyline is told.
The movie isn’t the shortest, clocking in at just under two hours. There are no less than two full montages in the film, which usually signals that there was a lot left on the cutting room floor, but I don’t feel this movie lacks for it. While I do think it dragged in some parts, most of the action is fast and most of the dialogue is snappy enough to keep you interested. Only one of the montages left me wishing it had been played out and it is a sequence of fights that Captain and the Howling Commandos have towards the middle. It’s understandable that this would have made the movie that much longer, but the team was awesome to watch and I would have loved seeing those adventures. I was worried going in to the movie that we would spend a lot of time in the Pre-Cap era, but Johnston smartly pulls you into the main hook relatively quickly. The main enemy, Red Skull (Weaving), is introduced early on and the movie even dips it’s toes into the origin of Hydra, the world dominating force behind most evil in the Avengers/Captain America world.
All in all the movie left me wanting for more, which is a good thing. It was exactly what a Marvel summer spectacle should be, fun, exciting and getting the crowd laughing and cheering. If watching the girls soccer team beat up on Brazil in the last minute wasn’t enough “GO USA” juice for you, then definitely catch Captain America, you’ll be cheering for the symbol as much for the movie.
Also be ready to hear about 15 people yell at different times “murica” because apparently that’s still funny.
Cabin in the Woods has been frozen in carbonite for quite some time, so long actually, that I forgot the film even existed….
Reviewing Double Fine’s Trenched actually gave me trench foot! Okay, maybe I didn’t actually get trench-foot (which is nothing to joke about), but I did have such an amazing time playing Trenched that I didn’t move away from the television for a few days. If my feet had in fact been soaking in disease infested waters, I for sure WOULD have gotten trench foot, or as I affectionately call it “The Foot”.
A well written review! I agree – the movie definitely left me wanting more – the sneak for the Avengers movie is super exciting too – make sure you stay after the credits roll!
Oh hugo weaving… he can do no wrong – even as a super villain.
I didn’t read your review because I havent seen Cap yet.. although I do plan on seeing it this week while I’m away.. cannot wait.

An M25 service station that was sealed off by emergency services after a chemical accident has reopened.
The South Mimms Service Station was closed at around 2pm after the Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Hertfordshire Constabulary were called to a chemical spill in the car park.
Herts Police warned motorists on Twitter to expect the service station to remain closed for several hours.
However, less than half an hour after warning motorists of the closure, Highways England tweeted that the service station had reopened.
A tweet said: "#M25 J23 / #A1M J1 #SouthMimms @welcomebreak services has now FULLY OPENED after earlier incident."
One of the pictures from the scene showed multiple police cars and fire engines at the scene and the car park sealed off while the incident was dealt with.

text: I'm sorry to hear that you have been troubled with fertility issues. Yes, PCOS can result in difficulty conceiving, and this is usually because you don't ovulate regularly, hence unable to predict when the next ovulation will occur. There are medications available that can help with this. If you are able to ovulate with medication but still unable to get pregnant, then the cause for the infertility may not be PCOS related. I would suggest speaking to your fertility doctor about this and he/she will be able to suggest other tests (if clinically relevant) to do. PCOS is also associated with insulin resistance and diabetes and I would recommend getting screened for diabetes before you try to conceive.

A lot of people can get anxious when they start going out together, especially if the person you are dating comes from another race or culture – like a single Thai woman that you met through a Thai dating site, for example. This anxiety is normal for everyone, but it is something that you should really try to get over.
This guide will tell you about all the things that you should expect when you date someone you met online. It will hopefully help you ease the tension you will surely feel whenever you go out on a date with someone you met online.
He or she may look slightly different than he does on camera.
Even if you do video calls and you think you know what your date looks like, remember that there are other things that a camera cannot pick up. How tall is he, really? Does he smell good? How does makeup change her face? The point is that you expect your date to look as good as you want him or her to, but you could be disappointed when he or she doesn’t reach your expectations. So, don’t set your standards too high.
Talking to each other personally is very different from talking through a phone or a laptop. No matter how comfortable you get with each other online, you will still experience awkward silences when you go out. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve gone out before! The awkward silences will take some time to chase away.
So, arm yourself with conversation starters before you go out. These could be jokes, anecdotes, trivia, news bits, or anything else that you can think of.
Expect your date to remember your previous conversations.
The things that you have talked about will be comfortable and safe topics to talk about, so try to remember the conversations you had. This will impress them and show that you have been paying attention to your date, even if you were just talking through an online dating site or app.
Remember the things you learned about your date.
If you are dating someone from a different race, it would also help to remember your partner’s values and beliefs so you wouldn’t say something offensive. For example, it would be sad to see someone you met through an online dating site for Thai women leave you just because you said something that made her feel bad, even if you did so unintentionally.
Building a relationship requires hard work. You never know what would happen, but knowing what to expect would help you step up your game. You can impress your date and have better chances of taking your relationship to the next level.

Nice points put together. Loved the way you have tried to express it. Hopefully this help me get something more out from a date. Thanks.

A former US Foreign Service employee reveals the scale of the destruction of ancient artifacts in Iraq during the occupation of the country.
As Iraqi officials are estimating the extent of the damage done by the Islamic State militants to one of the country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the ancient city of Hatra, a former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, has revealed that the US Army also wrought a lot of damage to some of the country’s historical landmarks.
On Saturday, Islamic State militants started destroying the 2,200-year-old site, having looted all of the ancient gold and silver coins that had been preserved.
Several days earlier, the Iraqi government said that ISIL fighters had attacked the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq and bulldozed it with trucks.
But as it turns out, the ISIL fighters are not the only ones who damaged sites in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys.
A former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, who was embedded with the US Army in Iraq in 2009, has revealed that the US also contributed to the destruction of ancient places.
“The scale and intent were obviously different from what the Islamic State is doing, but a loss is a loss, in big bites or small ones,” he adds.
Peter van Buren also wrote about how the country’s ancient villages, which he calls “tells”, attracted the US soldiers, who would sometimes drive their military SUVs there, doing “donuts” and enjoying kicking up dust plumes.
On Monday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the reported destruction of Hatra by Islamic State extremists a war crime, and called on the international community to protect cultural artifacts.
But nobody so far commented on the leftovers from the US Army. Baghdad's Iraqi Museum was plundered in 2003 shortly after the city capitulated to American troops, prompting widespread censure that nobody had taken steps to protect its world-class collection of Sumerian and Babylonian artifacts.
The museum, which re-opened several weeks ago, estimates that approximately 15,000 items were taken in the chaos. Only one-third have been recovered.

The Rose Bowl is an iconic football stadium in Pasadena, California. The stadium was built in 1922 and has since become a national historic landmark. This place serves as the home for the annual Rose Bowl Game. In addition to serving as the home stadium for UCLA football, it has also hosted numerous concerts, five Super Bowl games, and even some Olympic events. In this post, you will learn some Rose Bowl Stadium tips to help you have a good time during your visit.
Have you heard of the famous Rose Parade? It is an incredibly stunning parade that takes place prior to the Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day. The parade is held in Pasadena and always involves the two teams who will be playing in the bowl game.
My first visit to the Rose Bowl was a few years ago when my parents and I went to a UCLA football game. One very important thing we learned was to avoid parking at the stadium in the future. For the game, we parked on the nearby golf course and had a hard time finding our car after the game. It took quite a while to get out once we found our car as well. On my most recent trip to the Rose Bowl, I parked on an offsite lot and took a shuttle to the game. It was around $12 which is a better price than the on-site parking lot. Plus, it is easier to leave at the end of the game. The parking lot is in the Parsons structure off of Fair Oaks Avenue.
We had such a fun time at the game. I loved walking around to see the booths that had been set up. We all received a small blue hand towel with the number of a player who had recently died. I also picked up a free poster and a few other goodies. The food at the stadium was surprisingly good. Of course, I loved the souvenir UCLA cup!
Be sure to check out the Court of Champions which you can see in the background of the picture above. It lists every Rose Bowl champion. This is by far the most special football venue that I have been to. Yes, part of that has to do with my love for UCLA and the state of California. However, since 1922 this venue has hosted some incredible athletes, musicians and moments.
Our seats were in the end zone which I really liked. I was very pleased with the view from our seat. It was a 7:30pm game which meant we got to enjoy the sunset. I was happy that we arrived well before game time so that we could explore the Rose Bowl without needing to rush. If you go to an evening event here I encourage you to bring a jacket. My Mom and I had sweatshirts on and long pants but still needed some hot chocolate. California cools down quite a bit at night.
In the future, I would love to take a tour of the Rose Bowl. The tours are offered at 10:30am and 12:30pm on the last Friday of every month. The cost for an adult is $17.50 and $14.50 for a senior or child.
If you plan on visiting the Rose Bowl for any type of an event please be sure to take a look at their bag policy. Knowing what you can and cannot bring is helpful to know upfront. You can find information on that here.
Did you know that the Rose Bowl has also been used in film and television? You can see the Rose Bowl in The Rose Bowl Story with Natalie Wood and in Beverly Hills, 90120.

If you thought your choice of operating system, hardware platform, middleware stack or applications would shield you from malware, think again. If it’s operational, it can be hacked. Period. Certainly some configurations are more vulnerable than others but there’s no such thing as a “secure” system — just varying degrees of INsecurity.
I remember a protracted email debate I had with a colleague many years ago on this subject. His claim, essentially, was that the security model of Linux made it immune to malware. As a security guy, I knew better.
At the time Windows was being ravaged by viruses and Linux was emerging as a more stable, secure alternative. Some were speculating that it would supplant Windows as the leading desktop OS within a few years. Of course, that didn’t happen — at least not yet. Linux has some very clear advantages. Some derive from a kernel for which secure design was not an afterthought and yet others from the collective talents and contributions of the open source community.
Hand of Thief operates a lot like similar malware that targets Windows machines—once installed, it steals information from web forms, even if they’re using HTTPS, creates a backdoor access point into the infected machine, and attempts to block off access to antivirus update servers, virtual machines, and other potential methods of detection.
Clearly, there are far more instances of malware for Windows than Linux — far more — but equally clearly, Linux is not immune. Neither is Mac OX nor Android nor iOS nor any other OS you’d like to name. In fact, the first malware I personally ran across infected the VM operating system on mainframes back in 1987. Yes, 1987. Years before the press would start reporting on the latest virus scare and long before commercial anti-virus tools even existed and all of this on a platform that was considered quite secure and unlikely to be compromised easily.
Historically, desktop Linux users have been more or less isolated from the constant malware scares that plague Windows, which is at least partially a function of the fact that their numbers represent a tiny fraction of the Windows installed base.
That last phrase is important. It basically is saying that part of the reason Linux hasn’t had a lot of malware really has nothing to do with the merits of it’s innate security capabilities, but rather, due to the fact that it simply hasn’t had as big of a bull’s eye painted on it. Mac OS has historically benefitted from the same “security by obscurity” model but it’s not one you want to bank on. Not surprisingly as Mac’s have become more popular in the marketplace, they have also become more popular in the malware threatspace. Ditto for Linux. Ditto for iOS and Android.

Waist training is a slow and gradual process of reducing the waist's measurement through a waist cinching corset. With proper diet and exercise, training the waist by wearing a cincher will help you achieve the highly coveted hourglass figure. What's awesome about our waist trainers, is that while it helps with smoothening out the belly flabs, it corrects your posture through the frame it creates around your torso and back. The tight waist compression will help reduce food volume intake and change your diet from 3 large portions of meals a day, to frequent smaller meals.
Are you ready to take on this new discipline? This is what you need to ask yourself first before you venture in to this new kind of slimming practice, which requires discipline, patience and dedication. There is no magic in this world that could INSTANTLY remove belly fats without undergoing surgery. Proper diet, Exercise combined with this powerful waist cincher are the 3 main discipline you'll need to incorporate in your everyday routine to achieve your goal.

Replacing florescent tubes (T8) with RGB LED lights, so gently fade between day time and night time via a sunrise, and sunset approximation.
My fish visibly freak out when the timer turns the fluorescent tubes off, or when they flicker on.
Unfortunately, Fluorescent tubes can't be dimmed either, which means I can't have them gently fade on or off.
LED replacement tubes are expensive, and could be dimmed. but getting them to gradually turn on or off on a timer isn't a product I could find. LED tubes also don't put out as many lumens as fluorescent tubes.
My Axolotl doesn't seem to be able to catch fish in the day time, but has a feast at night. So I want a night light to give the other fish a chance. I tried one off eBay, it was too bright.
What I want is; very low intensity lights at night. fading gently into bright light in the day time, then back out in the evening. To achieve this I plan to use RGB LED strips, an Arduino to control the light hue and intensity, and a RTC (Real time clock) to make the transitions happen at the right times.
Plastic tube of the same OD (26mm) as the fluorescent tube.
Aluminium tube (16mm OD) to wrap the LED's around, as a heat sink, and former.
5050, 60 LED/m, RGB, 1-1.2A per meter. 12V, 4.5m needed per 900mm tube.
Need a >130W PSU to power it.
I bought two 5m kits off amazon because it was cheaper than buying PSU's separately. The two laptop style PSU's were 2-2.5A rather than 5A the website toted them to be, or that the labels on them suggested. So the lights weren't that bright, one PSU died within 10 hours, and the other isn't up to the job. My advice; avoid buying bundled PSU's, they probably won't be up to the task. And make sure the PSU you buy, is well over spec'd to ensure it's not put under too much strain.
Also, at full whack, my 9m of RGB is pulling 65.5w. That's only about 6 Amps. So my 20 amp PSU is too far over spec.
First I ripped out the wiring from the fluorescent system.
Then I cut down the plastic and aluminium tube to fit. Same length as the original tube will work once the connectors are gutted.
Wrap the strip around the aluminium tube at a tight angle. Like a helix.it should touch itself edge to edge on the next layer.
Slide the led wrapped aluminium tube into the plastic tube.
You will have to drill out your connectors to make enough room for the ribbon to get through into the hood.
There is a photo of the wiring.
I've attached the program for you.
It's a bit counter intuitive because the LED's are common Anode (+ve 12v). So it works by grounding the pin. 255 is 12v, so the potential difference is 0v between it and the 12v common anode. So in this situation they're off. 0 PWM is 0v, 0v to 12v, is 12v potential difference, so 0 PWM is 100% on.
It changes by 1 of 255 per second on each channel, Red, Green, and Blue.
When the Arduino turns on, all the outputs go to 0. So the grounded pins make the lights come on full whack for a moment. But it quickly initialises and sets the lights to the correct level.
I've programmed it to start from night mode, sequentially until it catches up with the cycle it should be in. This will take 13 minutes maximum.
The lights are plenty bright enough, but not as bright as I expected. I ended up turning the blue down a bit so that it gave a "warmer", more daylight like light.
It transitions between modes so gently, you often don't notice it's happening. The fish seem much happier. I have a reclusive Pleco, and she never used to come out when you were in the room, now she comes out as soon as it's in night mode. Sometimes twilight and daylight too.
You can end up with some strange intermediate hues as it transitions. This is because the Red, Green, and Blue, channels are changed by 1 unit per second. Not proportionally. This could be fixed with a little coding to limit the difference between each variable during a transition, or to change the values proportionally, which would avoid the occasional odd colour tinge.
For ease of use, yes.
For serious fish keepers who care about the intensity and wave length of light for plant health: possibly not.
Having said this, my plants are doing fine. Possibly better than with the old lights!
I would like ask, because I have all right connected, but I use RTC module DS1302.
Is your system working? If not, what is it doing wrong? It's often good to get each aspect working individually then combine them. Like set the lights to fade and check it works, Set the clock to just print the current time, then get the code to print a line or do something with the lights at some arbitrary trigger like the first thirty seconds of the minute or the last. Then combine them and get it to fade the lights when it triggers, then change the trigger times to your actual wanted trigger times.
Trouble shooting is the same for pretty much every problem: Break it down into it's functional elements, check each part is doing what it should do in isolation, slowly recombine each working part one at a time until you find a problem. If you get it back together without finding a problem and it works now... Don't think about it too much, act like you know what your doing, and get on with your life.
Great project! Just what i was looking for for my tank.
I went a different way with the actual lights and im using 5 x 1 meter strips attached into my existing LED light housing that had long ago died. I just gutted it out and stuck the strips in.
Id like to add an extra channel and incorporate high intensity cool white leds to approximate midday sunlight for a few hours.
Any chance of some assistance with the coding?
hello, I wanted to ask you if this sketch was possible to modify it.
I would need to activate 2 relays at different times.
This sounds brilliant and just what I'm looking for. My goldfish are not at all amused by the flouresant light been switched on and off either!...one of them actually bumps things in the tank...i think it's a form of protest!
Anyways, the problem is, I have no idea what your talking about beyond the concept! Can you put one together and send it to me?!
Fascinating info!! I'm not really sure I understand all the components you rigged back together but I may just have to research those items and give this a try!! Looks great and I've not been thrilled with the lighting I've found out there for my price range!! Thanks for sharing!!
Please ask away, and I'll edit the detail in for everyone else too. I'm happy to help you guys out!

Thin skin (1 to 2 mm) covers most of the body, whereas thick skin is restricted to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
The keratin layers often become dislodged during preparation of thin skin. In the natural state, the keratin layers would be attached to the underlying layers. The thickness of the stratum corneum is less than the cellular layers.
Epidermis - stratified squamous keratinized epithelium divided into four strata (or layers).
Sratum Granulosum - keratinocytes with numerous basophilic granules in their cytoplasm.
Stratum Corneum - thin layer of dead cells devoid of nuclei and organelles.
Dermal Papillae - less prominent than in thick skin. They increase adhesion between the epidermis and dermis.
Eccrine Sweat Glands - coiled tubular glands (lightly stained) and ducts (dark stained) with simple or stratified cuboidal epithelium.

Note: This article appeared in the October 6, 2011 issue of The Green Bay Press-Gazette.
Many generational workplace problems and conflicts occur due to perception and communication. We perceive things that may not be true; and we may not proactively communicate to understand and/or validate perceptions.
Personality perceptions relate to Gen X’s belief that Gen Y are demanding, over-confident, don’t work hard and desire to be the center of attention. Gen Y believe Gen X are resentful, abrasive, non-communicative and uncaring.
Work/life balance issues pertain to Gen X’s perception that Gen Y have care-free attitudes and are more focused on personal vs. work life. Gen Y believes Gen X are workaholics that should care more about humanitarian efforts, enjoying life and family time.
Perceptions associated to learning include Gen X being independent, autonomous and self-learners. Gen Y want to be coached and mentored, are eager to learn and ask questions, want regular feedback, and believe their input should be sought and freely provided.
In terms of communication, Gen X prefer email, don’t build as many relationships with others and have less “small talk” about personal items. Gen Y prefer social media, aren’t as responsive to email, and value personal relationships – even though these may be via social networks vs. face-to-face.
· Communicating how each Generation wants to be communicated to.
· Having flexible work/life schedules.
· Getting to know each other.
While each organization and generation has its own communication preferences, communicate how others want to be communicated to. Gen X can text instead of email. Gen Y can email once in awhile. A Gen Y individual told me to get a Facebook page because it’s easy to communicate to everyone at once. Being Gen X, I said communication can occur via email or cell because I receive it vs. having to go to Facebook. We’re both correct and need to seek some middle ground on communication.
Gen X should invest time to coach and mentor Gen Y. While this may not be how Gen X learned, this is important to Gen Y. If you can’t provide it, find an external resource. Gen Y are our future. They want to learn and improve, so provide them the opportunity.
Depending upon your organization, flexible work schedules are a must. We’re all adults and we know what results we’re responsible for. If we achieve or surpass our expected results, does it matter whether we’re at work, home or in the community? Some leaders invest 20+ days/year on volunteer endeavors plus 15 vacation days; and achieve high-level results.
While communication preferences are respected, take time to meet face-to-face and build relationships. Engage Gen Y in decisions and ask for their input (also a great coaching experience). Tell them about your family or hobbies – they want to know. Gen Y should continue to seek input from Gen X and demonstrate that results and fun are okay.
Removing barriers of perceptions and communication is easy if we better understand ourselves and other generations.

Widely regarded as one of the most important philanthropists of his era, Andrew Carnegie was born in a small cottage in Dunfermline, Scotland, on 25 November 1835, and was named after his grandfather. With the country going through hard times, his father, William Carnegie, decided to move his family to the United States in 1848, where they settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Andrew started work at age 13, as a bobbin boy, changing spools of thread in a cotton mill for twelve hours a day, six days a week, while his father earned money weaving and peddling linens and his mother Margaret supplemented the family income by binding shoes.
From these humble beginnings, Andrew Carnegie worked his way up to accumulate a fortune, through his willingness for hard work, along with his exceptional intelligence and insight into society and human nature. While his rise in the business world was astonishing, and reportedly helped along by some insider trading in the early days, some would say Carnegie’s most significant contribution to the world came in his later years when he pursued his love for the written word and put his wealth to use in philanthropic ways.
Among his philanthropic works was the establishment of a free library in the town of his birth, and in 1881, during a coach trip through Scotland, his mother laid the foundation for the library bearing her son’s name in Dunfermline, Fife. Carnegie became quite involved in expressing his political views at this time, buying a number of English newspapers which he used to advocate the abolition of the monarchy. All the while continuing in his successful business career, Carnegie wrote a number of controversial books and became a regular contributor to several magazines, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Andrew Carnegie wrote in his 1886 book Triumphant Democracy: “Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.” And from 1901, he took this to heart as he turned his attention to using his wealth on philanthropic projects. After buying Skibo Castle in the Highlands of Scotland, Carnegie divided his time between his homeland of Scotland and New York City. He donated generously to educational institutions, establishing the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland in 1901, which continues to function today. A total of 3,000 Carnegie libraries were eventually built or funded with the money donated by Andrew Carnegie – some after his death on 11 August 1919 – with the majority being in the United States and Britain, as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Serbia, the Caribbean and Fiji, and the first of which was the Carnegie Library in Dunfermline. He also bought and gifted the Pittencrieff Park to the people of Dunfermline as a public leisure venue which is still enjoyed today.

When you bunch “Christmas at Swae’s” together with Jxmmi’s record in the right order, you get the complete Grinch experience from start to finish. But don’t let the title fool you into thinking Swae is counting the minutes till it’s appropriate to wear seasonal knits; he just wants to cash in on all the action going down under the numerous mistletoes he set up in his hedonistic haven.
In the official “Christmas at Swae’s” music video, Swae Lee does his best Billy Joel impression with the Xmas lights on fleek. A simple piano roll allows him to shake up the chorus justs a little between refrains. He sings, “I didn’t have you under my tree this Christmas, but I had you all over wishlist,” before breaking off into a stretch pattern of Ho ho hos. Also worth noting, Swae wore a shirt this time out, just to set a more serious tone.

When it comes to the cast of American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, we're all about the sweet friendship between Sarah Paulson and Sterling K. Brown. Seriously, they are #BFFgoals.
But a moment at the 2017 SAG Awards has us saying "awww!" about another dynamic duo on the show.
On Sunday night, Sarah Paulson won Best Actress in a Television Movie or Limited Series for her role as Marcia Clark, the real-life lawyer who led the prosecution against O.J. Simpson. During her speech, she thanked the people she worked with, including co-star Courtney B. Vance. She said that every day on the set, Vance would "come up to each of us in the courtroom" and "give us a little fist bump."
When the camera panned to Vance, who was standing throughout her speech, he returned the love in the perfect way: with a fist bump!
Vance played Simpson's fiery defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, so the actors had to spar quite a bit on camera. We're happy to hear that in between rolling, the co-stars became the the most adorable buds ever.
Here's Paulson's speech in full. Skip to 0:33 for the fist bump!

A forest fire that has devastated 550 hectares (1350 acres) of coastal pine forest close to one of France's best surfing beaches continued to rage Friday.
The start of a heatwave that was set to send temperatures in the area soaring to 40 degrees Celsius (104F) this weekend was complicating the task of 200 firefighters battling to bring the blaze under control.
The fire started on Thursday afternoon in the area between the inland town of Lacanau and the spectacular Atlantic beaches that are this week hosting the Lacanau Surf Pro event featuring some of the world's top surfers.
Four Canadair waterbombers were deployed from dawn in an attempt to stop the fire spreading further.
To date only five residences have had to be evacuated but local authorities have taken the preventative step of temporarily banning the public from all wooded areas in the Gironde department.
A cigarette dropped from a car on Thursday is thought to have started the blaze.
The Landes forest, which spreads across the Gironde and the neighbouring departments of Landes and Lot and Garonne, is the largest maritime pine forest in Europe.
French authorities have issued a health alert for several regions this weekend after forecasters predicted unusually high temperatures in the southwest and centre of the country.
An unexpected and sustained heatwave in the first two weeks of August 2003 left an estimated 15,000 mostly elderly people dead.

According to the online version of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, feminism is “the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” It is the belief that women naturally possess the same inalienable rights as their male colleagues. This means a woman should be allowed the same freedoms in health, career, family, religion and income. These are freedoms of choice: choosing the health care that is right for your body, which profession to pursue, how to run your household, how to worship, whether or not to work.
Why then are there women who claim to be feminists but feel constantly attacked by other feminists? Why then are there women who feel the need to discourage other women on this issue? Perhaps, there is still a leftover stereotypical image of what a feminist is.
Feminism does not mean anti-pink or that no one should follow traditional gender roles if they choose; being a true feminist means you support your sister in her decision to make her own choices. Labels such as pro-choice, pro-life and many others only fuel the fires of separation within the feminist movement. “Pro-choice” people do not advocate that abortions must be considered ethical by everyone; they simply want access to affordable contraception and to regulate their own reproductive rights. The “pro-life” label does seem to rub feminists the wrong way because of the obstruction the movement has on those reproductive rights.
As this administration continues to roll out executive orders, I think we should keep in mind that neither of these views should hinder the feminist movement; both at the core are about a woman’s right to choose her own principles. However, within our communities, we can see women starting to take sides against each other based on these views. We as women should always encourage and uplift women in their efforts to achieve, even if they don’t agree with us.
So how do we address these issues and concerns? The next time you feel at odds with another feminist, try a more positive view rather than a critical one. Being a feminist means putting those differences aside and concentrating solely on elevating your sister. If we can agree that this is the best representation of feminism, we won’t have this debate being used as a wedge in the movement.

How about that Gatsby people? Isn't he great? No? Well, surely he must be good? Yes? Okay, he's the good, but not so great Gatsby.
This joke was brought to you courtesy of every kid who had to read it in school, while thinking they were the original king of comedy. I should know, that kid sat beside me in most of my classes.
So the long anticipated film adaptation of The Great Gatsby is out. Longer anticipated since it got bumped last year till this weekend. If you don't know the plot of the film, I suggest turning of the computer, grabbing your keys, going down to your local bookstore, purchasing a copy of Gatsby; reading said copy, and then coming back here. The rest of us will wait for you to catch up.
Back? That took a little longer than expected. Did you-? You did, you stopped for tacos. I see, and did you get the rest of us any? I see. Wait, what's that in another tab? Is that Wikipedia? Darn it, you just wiki'd it and didn't actually read it didn't you? Zelda must be rolling around in F. Scott Fitzgerald's grave. What's she doing in his grave you ask? How would I know, she's crazy.
Anyhoo, Reviews lean towards up but with a few downs. Great performances, beautifully shot, faithful adaptation, but still missing the spirit of the novel. Mind you I don't care about reviews, I'm all about watching the film. Hopefully it will lead to other Fitzy adaptations (yes we're so close I call him Fitzy) like his infinite classic "Sir Archibald Nutmeg and the Dismal Serenity".
You wiki'd it didn't you? Ha, caught you out.
See how I brought that all back around? My 11 year old self would be so proud. Course my 13 year old self would probably kick that crap out him, while my 14 year old self looked on in disgust. I really should stop having these temporal reunions, they only ever get me into trouble.
So what's your plans for the weekend? Gonna Gatsby it up? Going to see that highfalutin Peeples film? Did you realize "highfalutin" was one word? Well, it is.
Thanks for the sweet words on my blog last week. They meant a lot. Have a nice weekend!! hugs!
Sadly I've read the book and saw the Reford movie. Needless to say, I won't be seeing the new version.
That Zelda joke is great.
The Gatsby movie trailer isn't doing it for me ... I will see it one day, but it just feels too Hollywood. Maybe the previews show all of the crazy scenes and the rest of the movie is slower and more character driven, and in that case I might like it more.
You're right Colin. Peeples should be the best Perry movie ever! I'm still waiting for "Tyler Perry's: Tyler Perry" starring Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry.
This is the third time I've tried to comment on this. Each time it somehow disappears, so here is the abbreviated version.
His role in Titanic was the worst cast role in history (IMHO).
I visited many blogs however the audio feature for audio songs present at this site is genuinely excellent.

Casper bed mattress has actually been bought by nearly half a million individuals. The mattress is specifically understood for its engineering task, for inducing a sensation of weightlessness, for assisting in breathability despite being a memory foam mattress and for this reason being a little more comfortable than some similar bed mattress that tend to get rather hot and unpleasant through the night, specifically throughout summer and humid seasons. Casper bed mattress includes a hundred night trial totally free returns. You can purchase the mattress online or at a store and you would get exact same day white glove delivery in a couple of areas.
The flagship product of the business has a layer of memory foam and a layer of poly foam atop it. The top layer is springy to make sure a sense of balance and convenience. It also adds to the feeling of weightlessness once you lay down. The foams are breathable owing to the open cells in the top layer so you would not feel too hot or uncomfortable. Sweating is not a problem with Casper mattress. It comes with a zip-off knit cover that is rather simple to clean and keep, hence ensuring toughness. The bounce is not the best amongst memory foam bed mattress as Casper is a little more resilient but sleepers will feel some sensible bounce, which is quite preferable and provides remedy for pressure. The density of the memory foam is high enough to provide sufficient support to the various pressure points in the body. There is a transition layer that distributes your bodyweight evenly. The base layer in addition to the 3 other layers is strong enough to provide steady assistance and they add to the durability of the whole Casper bed mattress.
Casper mattress price starts from $550, which is the cost of the Twin size. Twin XL would cost $600, Full is $800, Queen is $950, King is $1,150 and CAL King is also $1,150. You can look for a Casper mattress coupon. Usually, there are offers that can help you save around $50 on the $950 worth Queen Casper mattress. You can find similar discounts or Casper mattress discount coupon for all sizes. There are affiliates and partners of the company that provide regular discount rates. Casper too hosts sales from time to time so you can have the Casper bed mattress rate minimized to an extent.
