||The arrival of Táhirih in Karbilá. She had learned of the views of Shaykh Ahmad and Siyyid Kázim and had corresponded with the latter from whom she received her name, Qurratu'l-Ayn, meaning "Solace of the Eyes". Against the wishes of her family she had left her home to join the circle of his students but arrived in Karbilá ten days after his passing. Convinced that the Promised One would soon appear she stayed on in that city as Siyyid Kázim's disciples were departing in their search. To one of them, her brother-in-law, Mírzá Muhammad-i-Alíy-i-Qazvíní, she gave a sealed letter and told him to deliver it to the One Sought. This he did and the Báb recognized her as one of the Letters of the Living. [B25-26]

||`Abdu'l-Hamid II is deposed. [BBR486]
Sultan 'Abdu'l-Hamid II lived from 1842 to 1918) and reigned from 1876 to 1909. During his reign large portions of the Ottoman Empire were lost. Following his defeat in the war with Russia in 1878, Tunisia was occupied by France (1881), and Egypt was controlled by Britain (1882). In 1897, the Empire was forced by the Europeans to recognize the autonomy of Crete. The Sultán ruled as a despot, and brutally repressed the Armenians between 1894-6. In 1908, due to the lack of support among the army and the rise of the Young Turks, 'Abdu'l-Hamid was forced re-enact the Constitution of 1876 which he had earlier suspended, and which, for the first time in an Islámic state, defined the rights of both the ruler and his subjects. He was ultimately deposed when he attempted to plot a counterrevolution against the Young Turks and was exiled to Salonika, where he died in disgrace.
See AY189-191 for a description of his riches and his last years. He died in January of 1918.

Much respected by the men, her attitude toward them was one of total equality. Her greatness was in herself, her devotion to the Faith absolute, and she was made a member of such advanced committees as the Bahá’í Women’s Committee. Her views were moderated by her sense of humour, which included self-deprecation, so that she never subjected you to her piety. One day during the Bahá’í Fast ,she asked Marzieh Gall: ‘Do you think God would notice if I ducked into that room and sneaked a few puffs of tobacco?’ [AY333]

'Abdu'l-Bahá had written to the community a short time before recommending that the Council be expanded from 9 to 27 members so that all factions could be represented. He also recommended that women be included on the Council and that the name be changed to "the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of New York". This apparently addressed the problem of disunity because the New York community went on to contribute significantly to the progress of the Faith on a national level. [DJT181, BFA2p338]

-Mírza Mahmúd-i Zarqání. He was a member of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's entourage for both the Western and European tours. He wrote an account of the travels in a book entitled Kitáb-i Badáyi'u'l-Áthár and called "Mahmúd's Diary" in the English translation. [APD151]
-Mirza Ahmad Sohrab. He had originally come to the West to assist Mírzá Abú'l-Fadl Gulpaygání in 1901. He remained and worked at the Iranian Consulate until 1912 and during this time he translated much of the correspondence between 'Abdu'l-Bahâ and the Western believers. After the American tour he returned to the Holy Land. After the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá he rejected the authority of Shoghi Effendi and was expelled. [APD155]

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá encouraged commercial ties between the United States and Persia. ‘For the Persians there is no government better fitted to contribute to the development of their natural resources and the helping of their national needs in a reciprocal alliance than the United States of
America; and for the Americans there could be no better industrial outlet and market than the virgin … soil of Persia. The mineral wealth of Persia is still latent and untouched. It is my hope that the great American democracy may be instrumental in developing these hidden resources and that a bond of perfect amity and unity may be established between the American republic and the government of Persia. May this bond—whether material or spiritual—be well cemented.’ [AY48]

||President Woodrow Wilson in a speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress outlined his Fourteen Points. It was a statement of principles for peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I.
President Wilson was influenced by the Bahá’í Teachings in formulating his Fourteen Points, at least three Bahá’í volumes were known to be in the White House. The Hidden Words appears on a 1921 listing of Wilson’s private library. Also, a compilation on peace given the President by a delegation of Washington Bahá’ís ‘turned up in general reference at the Library of Congress marked “transfer from the White House”‘. And Abdul-Baha on Divine Philosophy (Boston, 1918) is said to have much influenced his thinking. [AY155]
Commenting on the Fourteen Points laid down by the President for the world community, the
Master says that twelve of them derive from principles advocated by Bahá’u’lláh fifty years before, and that these Teachings had been
spread worldwide through various publications, thus becoming known to leaders in Europe and America (Persian Tablets, vol. III, p. 312). [AY156-157]

- See AY55-> for a brief history of her life and her contribution to the progress of the Faith. She had learned of the Faith through Lua Getsinger and members of her group in the early days of the Faith in California.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá called her ‘the servant of Bahá, the “Mother of the Faithful”’. He writes that she had ‘sincerely turned unto her Master... completely faced toward the Kingdom of God ... [she] shall surely have a firm and steady footing in the Cause of God, her face shall shine forth from the Horizon of Loftiness, her fame shall be spread in the Kingdom of God, and [she] shall have a ringing voice ... and the light of her glorious deeds shall beam forth during cycles and ages.’ [AY54-55; 106-107]

The USA made separate treaties with Germany and the other Central Powers. Wilson died on the 3rd of February, 1924. [AY160-169] Shoghi Effendi's tribute is as follows:
"To ....President...Woodrow Wilson, must be ascribed the unique honour, among the statesmen of any nation, whether of the East or of the West, of having voiced sentiments so akin to the principles animating the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh, and of having more than any other world leader, contributed to the creation of the League of Nations—achievements which the pen of the Centre of God’s Covenant acclaimed as signalizing the dawn of the Most Great Peace, whose sun, according to that same pen, must needs arise as the direct consequence of the enforcement of the laws of the Dispensation of Bahá’u’lláh."

||The Anglo-Persian agreement was signed whereby Persia would get advisors for every department and give every concession to England. It effectively made Persia a British protectorate and eliminated the Russian influence that had been established by the earlier Anglo-Russian pact. The United States Government was much displeased, for this represented a breach of ‘open covenants openly arrived at’, one of Wilson’s Fourteen Points, and represented a continuation of the secret diplomacy of former times. The price of this agreement, according to one official, was £500,000 paid out to one prominent official, and £300,000 to another.
When the Persians discovered by what dubious means this Agreement was contrived, they arose in fury, there was a coup d’état with the backing of the Cossack Brigade, Siyyid Zia-ed-Din came to power (1921) and abrogated the Agreement. Then he himself would be overthrown, and replaced by Reza Khan of the Cossack Brigade as Minister of War and Commander in Chief. Thus an illiterate one-time army private, once a sentry at a hospital gate, would eventually (1925) become a powerful Shah.

||Howard MacNutt, Disciple of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, passed away in Florida after being struck by a motorcycle while walking to a meeting in a "Coloured" area. He had lost is beloved wife Mary about one month earlier.. (b. 13 July, 1858 in Philadelphia) He had been a student of Ibrahim George Kheiralla in New York and had learned both Persian and Arabic to better understand the Writings. Howard MacNutt was elected to the Bahá’í Board of Counsel for New York when it was established on December 7, 1900 and served on the body for many years. [SEBW42]
- In 1905 Howard and his wife went on pilgrimage and attended a Nineteen Day Feast held by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Who encouraged him to establish the practice in America. MacNutt consulted with the New York Board of Counsel after returning and a Feast was held in New York on May 23, 1905.
- Howard wrote a booklet consisting of what he learnt while on Pilgrimage titled Unity Through Love.
- MacNutt also edited Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl's Bahá'í Proofs before it was first published in 1902 and revised Ali Kuli Khan's manuscript translation of the Kitáb-i-Íqán for publication in 1904.
- He held a belief that `Abdu'l-Bahá had no extraordinary spiritual station and he did not regard Him as being different in Spirit from other men, that through works and service and overcoming all He attained to His station. This opinion resulted in MacNutt failing to appreciate the Bahá'í teaching that Covenant-breaking is a spiritual disease. When `Abdu'l-Bahá came to the United States in 1912 He assigned to MacNutt the task of meeting with a group of potential Covenant-breakers in Chicago and warning them. He also ordered MacNutt to break all communication with Ibrahim Kheiralla and other Covenant-breakers. When MacNutt failed to do as directed, `Abdu'l-Bahá advised him that he had violated the Covenant himself and commanded him to repent before a group of New York Bahá'ís, which he did on 18 November 1912. The matter was not resolved; `Abdu'l-Bahá cabled Ali Kuli Khan on 16 April 1913, "MACNUTT REPENTED FROM VIOLATION OF COVENANT BUT WAS NOT AWAKENED." After several months of correspondence between MacNutt and `Abdu'l-Bahá via Ali Kuli Khan, MacNutt satisfied `Abdu'l-Bahá that he had come to understand and had repented for his earlier errors. Even though `Abdu'l-Bahá recognized MacNutt as a Bahá'í his reputation in the Bahá'í community remained tarnished. To redeem himself he took on the task of compiling `Abdu'l-Bahá's talks in the United States and Canada and editing them. It was published as The Promulgation of Universal Peace, the name chosen by 'Abdu'l-Bahá himself, in 1922. MacNutt's preface contains a long and important statement about `Abdu'l-Bahá's station. His redemption was complete. [PUPxx]

world. These letters in effect built the Administrative Order, its
most vital features being found there. They taught the Bahá’í
Assemblies how to be, how to consult, what their duties were. The
book also contains the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws drawn up
by the international lawyer Mountfort Mills, carefully reviewed by
Shoghi Effendi, and adopted in 1926 by the National Spiritual
Assembly of the United States and Canada, at this time under one
jurisdiction. (Khan, back in America by then.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is backing architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in developing a habitat to be built on the moon. A prototype for a skeletal floor has been developed by metal 3D printing firm MX3D, famous earlier this year for its metal 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam, built with wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), which leverages a robotic arm to melt metal wire into a freestanding object.
For the floor system, engineers needed to meet construction constraints maintaining structural integrity. By delineating stress map analysis and an optimized continuous topology, MX3D scientists created a structure with a smooth web pattern design which cantilevers towards the center to outside, allowing these cross sections to be printed at a reduced thickness without losing structural integrity.
The floor was printed using MX3D’s proprietary WAAM method with 308LSi stainless steel, a popular material in the aerospace and space industries. The print took 246 hours, weighed in at 395 kg and measured 4.5 m long. Six separate segments make up the overall floor design, these pieces are printed individually and then are welded together, the structure is held up by three columns and features a series of floor panels.
Advenit Makaya, Advanced Manufacturing Engineer at ESA, said of the project, “This is a remarkable achievement from MX3D, which further highlights the potential of this additive manufacturing technique for an increasing range of space applications. The design flexibility and the possibility to combine the printed structure with embedded monitoring systems – as demonstrated in the 3D-printed bridge in Amsterdam – are worth investigating for applications in space structures.”
“This was a great opportunity to show the potential of our technology for the fabrication of lightweight metal structures together with ESA and SOM,” explains Gijs van der Velden, CEO of MX3D. “It was a perfect project for MX3D to leverage its experience in printing topology optimised metal structures. Achieving an optimal use of material is a company goal at MX3D because – just as when designing space applications – every reduced kilo in a MX3D design is a direct win for a project’s feasibility.”
Space-based construction is thought to benefit greatly from the convenience and customizability that 3D printing affords. In theory, printers can be set up and used to build entire habitations, even using the planet’s own regolith as feedstock. Spacecraft could potentially include 3D printing systems allowing astronauts to print parts or tools as necessary, as already occurs on the International Space Station.
NASA itself is currently backing 36 projects related to lunar 3D printing. As a part of its Artemis project, which aims to return astronauts to the moon by 2024 to explore the south pole, NASA is also looking for ways to inhabit the moon long-term. Last year, the space agency contracted construction 3D printing firm ICON to prototype a moon base. Termed Project Olympus, the firm is working to develop buildings that; can be printed directly on the moon, withstand extraterrestrial conditions, use materials found on the moon, and leave no waste. Such technology, when developed, could prove useful for sustainable construction here on Earth as well.

With all the worries about a possible recession, it may be comforting to hear that several North Texas cities are on a list of the most recession-proof markets in the country.
Frisco, Plano and Denton all made SmartAsset’s new ranking of the U.S. most recession-resilient cities.
“Frisco leads the way, ranking as the most recession-resistant city nationwide,” SmartAsset’s Kara Gibson said in an email. “Plano ranks third, Denton ranks fifth and Arlington ranks 19th.
“All four cities rank in the better half of the study in the three categories we considered: employment, housing and social assistance,” she said.
Austin and Lubbock also made the top 10 ranking.
Frisco, Plano and Denton — along with Austin — have seen huge gains in population and jobs during the last decade.
And the Dallas-Fort Worth area has led the country both in employment gains and population growth.

Red Kite Touring Park (United Kingdom) can now build eight lodges on the site, just off the road leading up to Llyn Clywedog, outside Llanidloes.
Llanidloes Town Council also supported the application and said it would be “beneficial to the town and surrounding area.”
The lodges will measure 40ft by 20ft and will have a living area, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen facilities. Each lodge will also have a parking space.
The application stated the lodges would be classified as “caravans,” meaning it is moveable and will arrive on the site “pre-assembled” and anchored onto a concrete base.
Powys County Council Senior Planning Officer Kate Bowen said in her report that some issues and objections were raised against the proposal.
The objectors believe there is already enough tourist accommodation in the area and that it would put more “strain” on community facilities and resources there.
“The concerns within the public response are appreciated and have been carefully considered,” said Bowens.
“However, the provision of tourist accommodation is supported throughout planning policy, and given that it is not considered that the development would have an unacceptable impact upon the landscape, residential amenity, ecology, or any other planning matter, it is concluded that the development is acceptable, subject to the use of conditions.”
She said the recommendation is one of conditional consent.
One of the conditions is that the lodges are used “only” for holiday accommodation and not as a person’s only or main home.
The caravan park was given planning approval originally in 2014 and had 66 developed touring caravan pitches, a site reception, a warden’s lodge, and a toilet block.
The Onions family, the owner of Red Kite Touring Park, also owns and runs the nearby Clywedog Riverside Park, with 108 owner-occupied static holiday caravans.

The voter ID law will not be in effect for in-person voting for the May 21, 2013, primary. Voters without photo ID will still be allowed to cast their ballots. If you are told you cannot vote without photo ID, contact the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.
Voter ID Lawsuit
In May 2012 the ACLU of Pennsylvania, the Advancement Project, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP), and the Washington, DC law firm of Arnold & Porter LLP filed a lawsuit in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania to overturn the voter ID law. A preliminary injunction was granted in October of 2012 that halted the law from going into effect for the November election. The injunction was extended to cover the May 21, 2013, primary.

Who said it was necessary to approach the casino to throw a few games to the roulette? For all those passionate about this classic, today with our smartphone or tablet we can spin the wheel without leaving home; by randomly reaching the screen of your device. Therefore, in this post we collect you 4 roulette apps that may interest you
Of course, keep in mind that in these applications you use fictitious "credit", which gives you the application itself. It is true that on the internet we can also access alternatives with real bets type https://ruletaelectronica.es and promotional bonuses like www.bono-casino.com, but in this case we opt for simulation apps.
4 roulette apps to spin the wheel on the screen of your mobile and tablet
1. Roulette – Casino Style
To start, we have Roulette – Casino Style, an app for iOS (of the few that are within this theme) that is compatible with both iPhone and iPad and also available for computers Android.
It should be noted that before starting the game, it allows you choose between European or American roulette; Perfect if you like to alternate between both types, as you will have both in one application. You can also deactivate background music (an option we always appreciate) or prevent you from sending us notifications.
It is a free app, although you have purchases with real money within the app (for more credit, for example).
Roulette Royale, Roulette Casino
Although it seems that names are not the forte of this type of apps, again we find one of the proposals available for both iOS as for Android. In addition, in the App Store you will find within the Top 10 of casino apps, so we may be facing one of the best digital roulette.
In this case we also have American and European roulette, but its biggest asset lies in the online component, since we can play against friends or play tournaments against other players; in fact it integrates its own global ranking.
This app is also free but as usual, it has integrated purchases.
Roulette Pro VIP – Roulette
With a slightly more acceptable name, this proposal is only available in Android We also bring the experience of roulettes to our pocket devices.
This application does not have intrusive advertising, which is always appreciated, and when the chips run out they can be replaced by watching the occasional ad. Further, they give us more credit every day for free.
Roulette Pro VIP is an app that we can download for free for Android terminals from Google Play.
Vegas Casino Roulette
This is, graphically speaking, the best roulettes in the Google Play. Has 3D graphics clearly inspired by Las Vegas casinos and the app there is no advertising, in fact you do not need an internet connection.
Like others, it grants us free chips every day to continue playing if we exhaust them all in our daily games.
We can download it for Android for free although it has a credit purchase within the app, as usual.

The recent discussion of the Silver Spoon Italian cookbook reminded me that I hadn't posted about a meal I made for lunch one Sunday recently. I'd been to Little Italy on Arthur Avenue and bought some beautiful Langoustines and so was inspired to make a recipe I'd made before, but with shrimp - Langoustines w/ Tomatoes - p. 703. It's a wonderful tomato cream sauce meant to be served just w/the Langoustines, but I decided to use it as a pasta sauce.. You make the sauce and then add the shelled langoustines at the end to cook (I only noted the "shelled" part as the pasta was almost done and so my husband and I rushed to shell them!) - unfortunately, they did break apart a bit - the note in the book says to use them as fresh as possible b/c the meat tends to deteriorate, and we had bought them the day before. When cooked, I pulled out the meat, tossed the sauce with the spaghetti and then added the meat back on top.
Before hand (i.e., before desperate shelling!), I put out a tray of prosciutto and parmesan from Arthur Avenue, as well as some breaded and fried sage leaves - yum. I didn't use the Silver Spoon recipe - but I should have - I made it before and it was much easier better - see p. 102.
That and some leftover Giva were lovely as a Sunday lunch. Yes, we should have had a salad, but alas, we did not!
Edit - I may be a dolt, but I just realized that if you click on a photo you can actually see a large photo not a tiny little one!

|Abstract:||Erectile dysfunction (ED) may reflect vascular alterations associated with imbalanced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activities. However, no previous study has compared MMPs levels in ED patients with those found in healthy subjects. We measured the circulating MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 levels in ED patients, with or without diabetes mellitus (DM), and in healthy controls. We studied 28 healthy men (control group), 35 men with ED (ED group), and 33 men with ED and DM (ED/DM group). MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and zymography. We found no differences in MMP-9 levels (P>0.05) among groups. However, while patients in the ED group had similar TIMP-1 levels compared with those found in the control group, we found higher TIMP-1 levels and lower MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios in the ED/DM group compared with controls (P<0.05). While both groups of patients (ED and ED/DM) had slightly lower MMP-2 levels compared with controls (P<0.05), we found no differences in TIMP-2 levels among the study groups (P>0.05), and no differences in MMP-2/TIMP-2 ratios (P>0.05). We found evidence indicating lack of significant alterations in circulating net MMP-9 and MMP-2 activities in patients with ED, and lower net MMP-9 activity in diabetic patients with ED.

When I was much younger, the mention of Chinese New Year brings to mind visiting dreaded relatives whom we see only once a year, getting measly red packets, pigging out, and generally images of dominating the game at the seasonal and neighbourhood ‘gambling den’.
As kids and single adults, more visiting means more ang paos. We often stayed up late playing card game, watching live broadcast of local TV new year countdown. All in all, it was always a blast.
But I never really thought much about Chinese New Year and its significance to me until many years later when I spent my first Chinese New Year overseas, away from my family.
It suddenly struck me what it meant to have Chinese ancestry. You know, I really realized then that it was more than having small noses, slit-eyes and a not so developed chest.
Of course you can imagine how much these features were accentuated in a country where people could literally use a spoon to dig their noses, and their bums for bosoms.
Aside from the small nose and slit eyes, I actually felt proud to be Chinese, the longest surviving civilization, with more than five thousand years of history, rising again today. That almost felt good. In fact, for a while, I thought that small noses and slit eyes could actually look pretty too.
But it is more than that. Where did the tradition of giving ang paos come from? Why do we furiously spring clean ? Why do we rush out to buy new clothes, esp red ones? Why does my mum scream her head off when I reach for a broom on New Year’s day ? Why do we give mandarin oranges ? Why do we have reunion dinner ? Why do we stay up late on new year’s eve after reunion dinner reminiscing about the year passed ? How do I do all these when I am overseas?
These are the hard questions I asked myself when I celebrate Chinese New Year overseas. And it is not about meaningless rituals and practices. Worse, it should not be mistaken for pagan worshiping although there are religious connotations in the origins of some practices. Yet, some of these questions remain unanswered today.
All it means is that we are partaking in an ancient culture, that we should rightly call our own. We are part of that culture. That culture is us. And that we are evolving it every Chinese New Year, and it will continuously spin off in sometimes unpredictable, often unrecognizable trajectories. And it does not matter if we do not follow what is done in China anymore. We can be the trendsetters, the followers, or just plain different. After all, I love my yusheng and bak kwa, both uniquely Singapore.
As I “lao” my third “yusheng” in one week, I realized that I should embrace and celebrate both our Chinese and Singaporean identities, for good or for bad, and pick from the best in both, because they are what define us and will define our children notwithstanding the small nose, slit-eyes and flat chest.
To my Chinese readers, wishing all of you a very happy, and meaningful New Year ahead … Huat ah!

Latest News by Industry
The auto workers' strike enters its 4th week. The union president urges members to keep up the fight
The president of the United Auto Workers is urging union members to stick with their strike against Detroit carmakers
CHICAGO (AP) — The president of the United Auto Workers and other labor leaders headlined a rally Saturday in Chicago to maintain union members’ support for a strike against Detroit automakers that is now in its fourth week.
UAW President Shawn Fain, using language that has become familiar over the past month, portrayed the strike a pivotal moment for organized labor and part of a war pitting working people against “the billionaire class and corporate greed.”
Fain provided no new details on negotiations or whether talks continued on Saturday. A spokeswoman for Stellantis, which owns the Jeep, Ram and Dodge brands, said there was nothing to update Saturday. Representatives of Ford and General Motors did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
The union claimed a breakthrough on Friday, when GM agreed to put workers at new electric vehicle battery plants under the UAW’s national contract. On Friday night, Ford repeated its previous statement that the plants haven't even been built, and when they are, workers will decide whether to join the union.


Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) proposed an amendment (S. Amdt. 4174) to an Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill that would extend collective-bargaining rights to all public safety workers employed by states or localities. In its findings, the language includes:
(4) The absence of adequate cooperation between public safety employers and employees has implications for the security of employees and can affect interstate and intrastate commerce. The lack of such labor-management cooperation can detrimentally impact the upgrading of police and fire services of local communities, the health and well-being of public safety officers, and the morale of the fire and police departments. Additionally, these factors could have significant commercial repercussions. Moreover, providing minimal standards for collective bargaining negotiations in the public safety sector can prevent industrial strife between labor and management that interferes with the normal flow of commerce.
(5) Many States and localities already provide public safety officers with collective bargaining rights comparable to or greater than the rights and responsibilities set forth in this title, and such State and local laws should be respected.
The amendment language is identical to the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2009 (S. 1611) introduced in March 2009 by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH). This bill had been introduced in successive congressional sessions since the 1990’s, including the 110th Congress, where it had strong bipartisan support before faltering. As reported earlier this year in The Hill:
In 2007, the bill passed the House with more than 300 votes and was in a strong position to clear the Senate. But President George W. Bush issued a veto threat and the Senate bill’s lead Democratic sponsor, the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), fell ill. The legislation then became overrun with amendments and subsequently fizzled on the Senate floor.
On March 10, 2010, the House Education and Labor Committee held hearings on the bill, transcripts of which are available here. Seeing as there were at least five GOP co-sponsors to Sen. Gregg’s similar bill, it is highly likely that this amendment will pass and become part of the Supplemental. Deliberation on the Amendment and Supplemental is scheduled to resume today.

As Halloween quickly approaches and Fall firmly sets in, I fall in love with New York all over again. Crisp blue sky, leaves changing, cozy sweaters and too much coffee- what's not to love? My coffee intake doubles this time of year, using the afternoon cup as an excuse to get out and enjoy the weather. On these afternoons, I have taken pictures of some particularly seasonal things: 1. Mums.
On West 10th Street, these gorgeous chrysanthemums color my walk and add a bounce to my step! I love them. They are in my opinion the classic fall flower. They are of Chinese origin and tend to do well in most northern latitudes, making them perfect for chilly autumn days. And you can find them everywhere- your local grocery store or bodega being the most convenient.
2. Scary bird.
I think it's not a raven (I think it would be best to consult my bird expert- Mom- on this), but all I hear when I look at it is "nevermore." Great time of year to read some E. A. Poe, don't you think? Isn't it creepy and fun? It's on 2nd Street east of Bowery and overlooks one of those delightful East Village community gardens that I wish would leave the gate open. If you're up for spending a little money, head west a couple storefronts to John Derian, where you can find some fantastic decoupage cake stands, serving platters, and paper weights (www.johnderian.com.) Some of these also strike the All Hallows Eve spirit also:
I have loved this crazy knocker since the first time I saw it. Look at that! Don't you know that a wild-eyed hunched-over butler will open the door slowly with lots of creaking, hair disheveled, and ask you with a forboding smile if you would like to come in? This original piece is not too hard to find after all. Here's a good one for only $45: http://www.runningrabbitinteriors.com/specialty-products-and-specialties/furniture-and-accessories/?nggpage=3 If I had a proper front door, I would absolutely buy one.
These details of my walks are what makes them so enjoyable. Don't forget that when decorating your own home or office; details are just as important as a coat of paint or a fantastic light fixture. Enjoy your walks about town, and take the time to stop and smell the faintly scented mums!

PREP FOOTBALL: Tularosa triumphs over Socorro, 14-13
TULAROSA — After two costly turnovers, the Tularosa High School football team had trailed 7-0 to the Socorro Warriors.
The Wildcats fought and overcame the adversity.
After a huge defensive stop to spoil a two-point conversion by Socorro, the Wildcats triumphed over the Warriors (0-2), 14-13, on Friday night at Bob Cerny Stadium.
And, for the first time since 2012, the Wildcats are 2-0.
"We finally finished. We talked about that a lot. Our big goal this year was to finish football games," Tularosa head coach Richard Grace said. "We never got down on the sideline. We were down 7-0, never got down.
"It's just a different mentality these kids are having. It's a family thing. They're really buying into it and there was no one on the sideline bickering. There was no fighting. There was no fussing. Like I was telling the kids, they were saying it, 'We've got this coach!' They believe."
Socorro was forced to punt on fourth-and-11 on their first offensive drive. Tularosa fumbled the punt allowing the Warriors to take back control.
Sophomore Payson Hicks scored on a 12-yard touchdown run to make the score, 7-0, with 9:33 in the first quarter.
Tularosa tried to go for it on fourth-and-six on their next drive, but they were unsuccessful.
Socorro had to punt again, this time on fourth-and-13. Junior Steven Lopez-Mull recovered a loose ball for the Warriors.
The Warriors weren't able to muster up anything on offense going four-and-out again.
After many stalled drives and a failed fourth down conversion for Tularosa on fourth-and-nine, the score remained, 7-0, at halftime.
Sophomore Traiton Griffin then scored on a 1-yard quarterback keeper. The point after attempt was blocked making the score, 7-6, with 5:56 in the third quarter.
Socorro's drive stalled on fourth-and-25. The Wildcats then failed to convert on fourth-and-seven on their next drive.
Tularosa got a much-needed boost after senior Kyle Sprague came up with a fumble recovery.
The turnover set up a 12-yard touchdown run by senior Caleb Ball. Griffin converted the two-point attempt to give the Wildcats a 14-7 lead with 3:25 left in the fourth quarter.
Socorro answered back with a 15-yard touchdown pass from junior Clinton Wellborn to junior Thomas Padilla. The Warriors tried to attempt the two-point conversion, but they were met by a pack of Wildcats.
The Tularosa sidelined erupted. With 56.2 seconds left to go, the Wildcats simply lined up in victory formation to run out the clock.
Tularosa has already matched their win total from last season, and they're not done yet.
"It feels really great. We've had a couple down years. The motto was just keep fighting," senior Toby Carrillo said. "Once we had that first turnover and we got down 7-0, it was just keep fighting. I told the linemen they need to pound their feet and drive.
"In the second half, it opened and we got a bunch of big runs, and it just happened to be our night. A win's a win. It feels great to get a win. We got Lordsburg next and we're gonna prepare for them. We're just gonna keep fighting."
It's still early in the season, but that old-fashioned Tularosa Wildcat football has returned. The Wildcats are playing hard-nosed defense and offense.
"I was pumped. It was my first touchdown of the season, so I was a little scared my dad was gonna start chewing me if I didn't get in there," Ball said about his touchdown. "A.J. (Betancur) got his block, too. It was easy to get into the end zone, and once I saw it I just took that chance.
"We got everybody where they need to be. It's like we have an iron clad defense. I'm real proud of it, too. I want to thank coach (Chance) Coates for setting that up for us."
UP NEXT: Tularosa travels to Lordsburg (0-2) at 7 p.m. Friday. Lordsburg lost to Academia Juárez , 38-0, in week two.
"Wildcat football's always been hard-nosed defense and pound-the-ball football, and I decided after last year we're going back to that, and here we go," Grace said. "That's our total last year — two games. It's awesome to have one win, but one win is one win.
"We want 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 — we want to keep going. I told them last week, one down 13 more. That's our mentality. One down, one at a time."

But like a fine wine Kool and the Gang have improved with each passing year and globe process have shown shy any one the younger generation are turning to the older bands when music meant something else entirely from is actually does appropriate.

It's back to basics again in this episode of MacBreak Studio. Mark and Steve take a look at using behaviors to animate an object instead of keyframes.
Motion users have two ways to animate objects, the traditional keyframing method or using behaviors. Which one is the best? It all depends on what you are animating and how you want to animate it.
In this new episode of MacBreak Studio, Mark Spencer shows Steve Martin how to animate a bouncing basketball using behaviors. Something that would be hard to get right using keyframes.
If you would like to more about Motion, Mark has some excellent tutorials on the Ripple Training website.
