Seeing young electrical students compete in the Residential Wiring contest at the SkillsUSA Championships brought back memories for a retired electrician.
Ralph Matzdorvf, who has been a union member since 1954, used his decades of expertise to critique high school and postsecondary students' workmanship. After the more than 60 Residential Wiring contestants spent hours perfecting their installations, he and 30 other veteran electricians strolled around with their clipboards to judge the wiring competition June 27 at H. Roe Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Mo.
"The contest has been going for nine years in Kansas City and I've been doing it for seven," he said.
Sixteen students competed in the Residential Wiring contest in 1970, three years after the first SkillsUSA Championships. Thirty-two years later, about 140 electrical contestants pursued gold medals and prizes in four wiring competitions including Residential Wiring, Industrial Motor Controls, TeamWorks and Telecommunications Cabling. The 2002 SkillsUSA Championships, which had more than 4,000 contestants in 73 trade, technical and leadership events, gave the best students from each industry the opportunity to show off their work and compete against the clock.
"They represent the best of our nation as far as people being trained," said Rick Mead, the retired owner of Smiley Electric.
George Thess, president of the St. Louis IEC chapter and SkillsUSA judge, said the contestants had to win local and state competitions before going on to the national level. Flip the page to see descriptions of the contests and a list of the champions.
Here are some quick statistics on the SkillsUSA Championships. Visit www.ceenews.com or www.skillsusa.org for more information. Next year's championships will be June 26, 2003, in Kansas City, Mo.
Contestants. 4,000.
Total contests. 73.
Skilled trade contests. 45.
Health contests. 7.
Occupationally-related contests. 5.
Leadership contests. 12.
Demonstration contests. 5.
Contest judges. 1,000-1,200.
Technical Committee members. About 650.
Area covered. 525,000 sq ft (equivalent to the area of more than nine football fields).
Awards presented. 1,370 medals, 24 trophies and 79 plaques.
Total contributions from industry and education (in donated time, equipment and material) topped $25 million.
A retired group of IBEW Local 124 electricians (above) spent the day downtown at Kansas City's convention center to critique the workmanship, safety and Code compliance of the students' installations. Below, a few of the IBEW and IEC judges speak out on SkillsUSA Championships.
Wayne Sword, (right) a retired journeyman electrician, said the Residential Wiring contestants had to hook up a three-way switch, bend conduit and put in a service.
"I think they are getting some good experience and will learn a lot. Their installations will be judged on the Code and how well they complete the job."
Rick Mead of Smiley Electric judged the Industrial Motor Controls contest for the second year. He said the students had to wire a box that is similar to a motor control.
"We're looking at their mechanical skills, ability to put things together, perform work safely and do it in a timely manner.
IEC's George Thess drove four hours from St. Louis to Kansas City to judge the Industrial Motor Controls contest.
"The most fantastic thing is seeing the quality of their work. To get here, they are already winners."
Electrical medalists at SkillsUSA
Contestants in Residential Wiring were tested on their ability to install wiring in a residence working from drawings and specifications sheets. Professional electricians judged the contestants on the basis of general workmanship, accuracy of layout and installation, adherence to National Electrical Code and safety. The test consisted of two parts — conduit bending and the simulated wiring of two or more rooms of a typical residence. The wiring was judged according to standard residential wiring practices and the National Electrical Code.

Shutters for windows by Shuttercraft. Whether you're looking for a contemporary or more classic look we have a style to suit every window.
As a place to relax and unwind, living rooms are the perfect place for shutters as they provide privacy while still keeping the room bright.
Shutters give you such versatility as you can choose which louvres and panels to open. You may wish to keep the bottom shutters closed for maximum privacy, and open the shutter panels or louvres at the top of your windows to let the sun stream in. Or opt for café style shutters which can be combined with curtains if desired, leaving the top half of your windows completely open.

Samsung turns to VIA Nano for 12in noteboook-not-netbook
Bonkers Intel size rules to blame?
VIA may claim its Nano processor isn't for netbooks, but that won't stop Samsung next month unveiling a 12in notebook-not-netbook based on the chip.
According to Asian moles, the Samsung Nano-based machine - dubbed the NC20 - will be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2009.
Specifications include 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive. There seems some confusion over which Nano it'll use, but the 1.2GHz U2500 seems the likely candidate.
Curiously, DigiTimes notes that "Intel has a restriction" in the size of netbooks it'll permit to use the Atom CPU - 7-10in, to be precise.
The implication is that Samsung had to use Nano in order to use a 12in display. Sounds like cobblers to us. Intel seems to have had no problem with Dell's 12in Inspiron Mini 12 using an Atom CPU - and one for handheld internet tablets, at that - and it's not the sort of company to encourage its customers to buy from rival CPU suppliers by imposing daft rules. ®

Eat Organic, Reduce Pesticide Exposure
It's nothing short of amazing. Just one week of eating mainly organic—that's all it took to reduce pesticide exposure in adults by nearly 90 percent, says a first-ever study out of RMIT University. The research is the first to compare differences in pesticide residues in adults consuming organic vs. conventional food. The study was published in the journal Environmental Research.
In the past, a few studies highlighted how eating organic diets have affected pesticide levels in children. Those studies have gleaned similar results—that eating an organic diet brings pesticide levels to nearly undetectable levels, and that the pesticide levels return once a conventional/chemicalized diet is resumed.
But this is the first study aimed at an organic diet and its effects on adults. And this small-scale trial found that one week of eating mostly organic food reduced organophosphate pesticide levels in urine by 89 percent. More specifically, in this study, 13 participants were randomly chosen to consume a diet of at least 80 percent organic or conventional food for seven days and then switched to the alternate diet for another full week.
Then urinary levels of six metabolites of organophosphate pesticides (known as dialkylphosphates, or DAPs) were analyzed on the eighth day of each phase in this study. The mean level of total DAP metabolites after eating a diet of at least 80 percent organic food was 89 percent lower than the levels after eating conventional food.
Imagine what eating a 100 percent organic diet could do.
Lead researcher Dr. Liza Oates said, "Conventional food production commonly uses organophosphate pesticides, which are neurotoxins that act on the nervous systems of insects—and humans—by blocking an important enzyme."
Unsurprisingly, studies have shown that there are concerns for health effects of these chemicals even at relatively low levels. Dr. Oates points out, "Pesticide exposure in adults is mainly through their diets, but there are other sources of exposure, so we wanted to find out the difference going organic could make. Our results show that people who switch to eating mainly organic food for just one week can dramatically reduce their exposure to pesticides, demonstrating that an organic diet has a key role to play in a precautionary approach to reducing pesticide exposure."
Certainly, larger-scale studies need to be done, but this is a first study of many, hopefully. And it has had astounding results.
So, if you're not eating organic already, then try it for a week—and then continue to eat organic. It has so many benefits.

How to Use
1. Locate the Roosevelt Home on the map. What other buildings are on the grounds of the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site besides the house? How would these buildings have been used by the Roosevelt family at the time they were living at Springwood?
2. Find the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum on Map 2. What do you think is the importance of a presidential library to Americans? What do you think is the importance of a presidential library to non-Americans?
3. Find the Gravesite in Map 2. Why might President Roosevelt have wanted to be buried on his family's property?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 2, but be aware that the file may take as much as 33 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Fox News bring us news that a group has gone around checking on the temperature sensors used to compile "global warming" data. The group found that 90% of the monitoring stations violate the Government's 100-foot rule of being within' anything that could influence the results.
U.S. Climate Data Compromised by Sensors' Proximity to Heat Sources, Critics Say
By Joseph Abrams
– FOXNews.com
A critical cog in the machinery that drives the theory of global warming is a small white box not too far from where you live. Inside the box sits a thermometer that tracks the local temperature, which in turn becomes part of a data trail for the monitoring of climate change on Earth.
But there's a problem: Nearly every single weather station the U.S. government uses to measure the country's surface temperature may be compromised. Sensors that are supposed to be in empty clearings are instead exposed to crackling electronics and other unlikely sources of heat, from exhaust pipes and trash-burning barrels to chimneys and human graves.
The National Climate Data Center (NCDC) uses this massive network of sensors to determine daily highs and lows at the 1,219 weather stations in its Historical Climatology Network (HCN). The network has existed since 1892, but only in the last decade has it come under intense scrutiny to determine whether the figures it measures can be trusted.
For the past three years, a group of zealous laymen has visited and photographed nearly every one of the weather stations to determine whether they have been placed properly. And what they found is a stunning disregard for the government's own rules: 90 percent of the sensors are too close to potential sources of heat to pass muster, including some very odd sources indeed:
• A sensor in Redding, Calif., is housed in a box that also contains a halogen light bulb, which could emit warmth directly onto the gauge.
• A sensor in Hanksville, Utah, sits directly atop a gravestone, which is not only macabre but also soaks up the sun's heat and radiates it back to the thermometer at night.
• A sensor in Marysville, Calif., sits in a parking lot at a fire station right next to an air conditioner exhaust, a cell phone tower and a barbecue grill.
• A sensor in Tahoe City, Calif., sits near a paved tennis court and is right next to a "burn barrel" that incinerates garbage.
• A sensor in Hopkinsville, Ky., is sheltered from the wind by an adjoining house and sits above an asphalt driveway.
• Dozens of sensors are located at airports and sewage treatment plants, which produce "heat islands" from their sprawling seas of asphalt and heavy emissions.
"So far we've surveyed 1,062 of them," said Anthony Watts, a meteorologist who began the tracking effort in 2007. "We found that 90 percent of them don't meet [the government's] old, simple rule called the '100-foot rule' for keeping thermometers 100 feet or more from biasing influence. Ninety percent of them failed that, and we've got documentation."
Watts, who has posted pictures of the sensors on his Web site, SurfaceStations.org, says he believes that the location of the sensors renders their recorded temperatures inaccurate, which in turn brings some of the data behind global warming theory into question.
"It's asinine to think that this wouldn't have some kind of an effect," Watts told FoxNews.com.
But climate scientists who analyze the data say that they are able to account and adjust for the faulty locations by comparing warming trends they spot at bad sites to trends they see at good ones.
"If you use only the sites that currently have good siting versus those that have not-so-good siting, when you look at the adjusted data basically you get the same trend," said Jay Lawrimore, chief of the climate monitoring branch at NCDC.
Lawrimore admitted that Watts' volunteers had discovered real problems with sensor siting, but he said that even when those sites' heat readings were adjusted down, they still showed a steady overall rise in temperatures.
"The ultimate conclusion, the bottom line is that there really isn't evidence that the trends have a bias based on the current siting," he said.
And surface station data is only a small subset of information confirming the warming of the climate, Lawrimore said.
Changes in air temperature, water temperature, glacier melt, plant flowering, tree growth and species migration, among many others, show the same worldwide trend — a 0.7 degree Celsius jump (1.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in the past century.
"There's a certain amount of uncertainty in the calculation of trends, but not to the extent that we don't know the climate is warming," he said.
Watts readily agrees that temperatures are on the rise worldwide, but he believes the magnitude of the increase is in question, and he says his research puts the 1.2-degree global figure in doubt.
But a team of three climatologists has completed a study of Watts' data on HCN siting and found the warming trend to be confirmed.
In fact, the three NCDC scientists, Matthew Menne, Claude Williams and Michael Palecki, say they found that instrument updates in the 1980s have created a cooling bias, and that adjusted and cleaned up data from even the bad sites is "extremely well aligned" with measurements from instruments that meet the "highest standards for climate monitoring."
"We find no evidence that the [contiguous U.S.] temperature trends are inflated due to poor station siting," reads the study, which is set to be published in a forthcoming volume of the "Journal of Geophysics Research — Atmospheres."
"It's all objective analysis based on statistics," said Matthew Menne, the lead author of the study.
But Menne's study was conducted using information on only 43 percent of the weather stations. Watts, who has now compiled information on 80 percent of the stations and cleaned up his old information, contends that a more complete data set would furnish different results, and he plans to conduct a study of his own under the aegis of Roger Pielke Sr., a research scientist at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
A better test of the network's data is on the horizon. In the past eight years, the NOAA has established a hi-tech system that sends information via satellite and abides by all of its own rules for siting. Each sensor is ideally placed in open areas far from other structures, a fact that pleases both government scientists and longstanding critics like Watts.
"I'm convinced that the new system, the Climate Reference Network, will provide a reasonably accurate set of readings," Watts said.
But data has only begun to be collected from CRN, a regional network of just 114 climate sensors that went fully online in 2008. It will take at least a decade, and as many as 30 years, until the information it collects becomes statistically significant.
In the meantime, and for many years past, the challenged data from NCDC has been providing information for a number of top climate research centers, including the U.N.'s International Panel on Climate Change, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and the Hadley Climate Research Unit, headed until recently by Phil Jones, who resigned in the wake of the climate-gate scandal.
With mounting pressure on climate research facilities, scientists at the NCDC hope that their data won't be discounted because of the troubling images Watts has compiled.
"These photos show a current snapshot of these stations," said Menne. "We wouldn't want to dismiss 100 years of climate records based on a photograph from the year 2009."

Mazda Ironman 70.3 Campeche @Sunset – Campeche, Mexico
For the fourth edition of this fantastic event, athlete's will be starting by the afternoon and finishing the race by sunset or even night, running in a fresh weather with the moon and the stars above.
Campeche is one of Mexico's best-kept secrets, with its colonial atmosphere, narrow streets, and pastel houses. The city is surrounded by walls that were built during the late 1600s to early 1700s in order to protect the city from Caribbean pirate attacks. The construction of the city walls took approximately 18 years to complete and much of the 8-meter high walls still exist today. Campeche was also named to the World Heritage List in 1999 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which recognizes locations that preserve cultural and natural heritage around the world and are of outstanding value to humanity.
Many tourists are drawn to the breathtaking archaeological sites scattered throughout the state as well as the city's beautiful historical center. Museums, handicraft shops, night clubs, and restaurants offer a wide range of opportunities beyond swim, bike, and run.
The 1.2 mile (1.9km) single-loop swim takes place in the protected water of the Gulf of Mexico. The rolling start swim start will take place at the Campeche Country Club Marina.
After the completion of the swim, athletes will head to T1 located at the Campeche Country Club Soccer Field. Athletes will exit T1 and head towards the Merida Highway to start the bike course. The two-loop, 56-mile (90 km) bike course will take athletes up and back along the Merida Highway before the final turn heading back to T2 at Downtown Campeche Convention Center XXI. While there are a few hills in the first section, the bike course is primarily a flat and fast course.
The two-loop flat and fast 13.1-mile (21 km) run course winds along the Campeche Bay. Athletes treated to a very spectator friendly run course before finishing at the Republica Plaza (Sea Gate), Downtown Campeche..
The 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Campeche @Sunset offers qualifying 40 slots to the 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.

(Continued from Original Post)
Another bullied teenager committed suicide early Friday morning, 5 November 2010. Brandon Bitner, a 14 year old boy from Mount Pleasant Mills, PA, walked several miles from his home around 2 a.m. to a busy intersection, where he walked in front of a moving tractor trailer. Brandon left a suicide note at his home and several audio recordings for his closest friends. His note was not full of resentment and hate, but of love and hope. Brandon explained in the note that he was constantly bullied at Midd West High School in Middleburg, PA, where he was a freshman. Bullies called Brandon gay, girly, fag, and geek. He stated in the note that a humiliating event in school this past week was the "straw that broke the camel's back."
In the first part of the note, Brandon made it clear that he does not want this outcome for anyone else in the world. He said he wants his family and friends to fight to bring awareness to the bullying issues in today's society. He told his friends in the audio recording and in the note that he wants them to have fulfilled lives and the strength to follow their dreams. Brandon was a gifted violinist and artist.
The foregoing information is from the memorial website for Brandon, which includes a full obituary.

Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus TSI apartment? Perhaps the options available from the Tai Sophia Institute housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the TSI campus. If so, you can search for off campus Tai Sophia Institute apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although Tai Sophia Institute student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.

This is the answer to the question Henry E asked a few times in recent comments on the blog. I wanted to answer this one with a full blog since the answer is not short. In the Banff blog I mentioned that the soil is too light and too stony to have an exposed soil lip. This is a problem at a lot of courses, yet common practice is to have a soil edge to create a clean sharp line. The problem of course is that the soil lips break down and contaminate the sand and the erosion is the main cause of lost bunker lines. That's why I try to almost always encourage clubs to go with a living grass lip.
There are four techniques to accomplish this. The first method comes right from the origins of golf – the revetted face. You don't have to use this technique up the entire face. You can create your bunker with typical flowing lines or steep slopes leading in and still create a small shelf right where the sand meets the soil. In that location you add three to four rolls of sod stacked on top of each other and then pull the soil over the top till it has a low 6" revetted edge. You now have a living 6" lip on your bunker.
Method number two, used at St. George's in the bunker restoration was to shape the bunker with all the faces and noses, then hand trim out a flat ledge where the sand meets the turf. On the ledge we placed a topsoil filled burlap bag. This created a bunker edge that rounded down into a vertical lip. The bunker lip now has far more organic than the rest of the soil which helps with water retention and establishes must deeper rooting. The shape of the bag created a natural round shape and a vertical interface with the bunker. The sod was simply stapled into the bag to ensure the form stayed together. The burlap bag roots and disappears in only a few months.
The next method is to hand shape the entire edge – this was done at Weston when I did the bunker renovation. This is accomplished if the natural soil is tight enough to hold together. If not a clay topsoil is used to provide a stable enough material to build a bunker lip. The bunker is shaped by mini-excavator and then the bunker face is topsoiled and machine packed. The bunker lines are then cut out by hand – by me – and the excess topsoil is removed. The bunker edges are hand shaved until they are round enough to be sod. The grass is pinned over the soil and into the bunker to ensure stability and avoid erosion. The sod is trimmed out after rooting leaving a vertical sod lip.
The next method is called undercutting. This is done to an existing bunker and involves hand cutting the sod on the face and pulling it back and up the slope. With a shovel you remove around 6" of the soil from behind the bunker lip – usually into a bucket or gator depending how easily you can access the bunker face – until you have a pocket behind the original edge. You then fold the sod back down in tamping it into the face leaving a vertical face of living sod. This sod has an established root system and needs little time to firm up and because of the established grass mixture is usually resilient to droughty periods.

Choosing an Accounting Method for the Cost of Goods Sold Expense
One main accounting decision companies that sell products must make is which method to use to record the cost of goods sold expense, which is the sum of the costs of the products sold to customers during the period. You deduct the cost of goods sold from sales revenue to determine gross margin. Cost of goods sold is a very important figure because if gross margin is wrong, bottom-line profit (net income) is wrong.
Product costs are entered in the inventory asset account in the order in which they're acquired, but they aren't necessarily taken out of the inventory asset account in the same order. You can choose between several methods to record your cost of goods sold and the cost balance that remains in your inventory asset account:
The FIFO (first-in, first-out) method: You charge out product costs to cost of goods sold expense in the chronological order in which you acquired the goods. The procedure is that simple. It's like the first people in line to see a movie get in the theater first. The ticket-taker collects the tickets in the order in which they were bought.
The LIFO (last-in, first-out) method: The main feature of the LIFO method is that it selects the last item you purchased first, and then works backward until you have the total cost for the total number of units sold during the period.
The average cost method: Compared with the FIFO and LIFO methods, the average cost method seems to offer the best of both worlds. The costs of many things in the business world fluctuate, so you may decide to focus on the average product cost over a time period. Also, the averaging of product costs over a period of time has a desirable smoothing effect that prevents cost of goods sold from being overly dependent on wild swings of one or two acquisitions.

Homs cease-fire extended 3 days as new round of Syria talks off to acrimonious start
The second round of Syrian peace talks began Monday with the warring sides exchanging public accusations of mass killings and atrocities and, in separate meetings with Lakdhar Brahimi, the U.N. envoy chairing the talks, presented widely divergent views on how to proceed toward an initial transitional settlement to end the conflict.
Not wanting to add to the charged atmosphere, Brahimi did not hold his regular news conference at the end of the day. Instead he put out a brief statement saying the talks centered chiefly on questions "relating to the cessation of violence and terrorism and the establishment of a transitional governing body."
Diplomats tracking the talks predicted that the current round would fail as did the initial round at the end of January.
Despite the acrimony, the two sides did agree to extend a "humanitarian pause" in Homs for three more days, allowing the evacuation of civilians wanting to leave the old city district and the delivery of food shipments. Valerie Amos, the U.N.'s emergency relief coordinator, announced the extension, which came after a difficult weekend in Homs where a relief team was struck by mortar rounds and sniper fire.
Still, a senior U.N. official who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue said more than 800 of the estimated 2,500 civilians thought trapped in the old city district had managed to leave since Friday and food deliveries had been made. The official said at least 200 Christians who had not been able to leave over the weekend are among those expected to be evacuated in coming days.
Amos also denounced the weekend attacks on the U.N. aid convoys, which she said killed 11 people. But she carefully avoided blaming either side.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that U.N. and Syrian Red Crescent aid workers were deliberately targeted. I am deeply disappointed that the parties were unable to hold their cease-fire," she said.
In a development showing rising concern that the peace talks might fail, Russia stepped up its representation here, dispatching its deputy foreign minister, Gennady Gatilov, to monitor the talks, joining Wendy Sherman, the U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, who is here on behalf of the Obama administration. The U.N. confirmed that Brahimi will meet Friday with Gatilov and Sherman.
In the separate sessions with Brahimi, the Syrian opposition continued to say that establishing a transitional governing authority that the opposition believes would exclude President Bashar Assad must be the talks' first priority. For its part, the Syrian government delegation said combating terrorism had to be dealt with before approaching the governance issue.
Anas al Abda, a member of the opposition negotiating team, told McClatchy that "the political track needs to take place in a neutral environment by establishing the transitional governing body."
But Syria's official SANA news agency reported that the government delegation had called it "an imperative to first agree on fighting terrorism in order to pave the way on the ground to launch the political process with all details."
It also called on Brahimi to condemn what it said was a massacre at Maam, in Hama province, over the weekend. The government said "entire families including women, children and the elderly" had been killed by rebel forces.
Louay Safi, the chief spokesman for the opposition, countered that more than 1,800 people had been killed by so-called barrel bombs filled with explosives and dropped from government aircraft.

Jigsaw Puzzle
A jigsaw puzzle is a Big Picture that has been cut by a jigsaw into many much smaller, irregularly shaped pieces in order to provide a much-needed metaphor and dream symbol for a fragmented Weltanschauung or worldview. People who haven't "figured it out yet" (i. e., cannot understand that life has no meaning, purpose, or value and that there is no "Big Picture") will sometimes say that they "don't have all the pieces" needed to "piece together" the "Big Picture." When they imagine a relationship between facts (as they perceive them) or understand what, they believe, may be a part of a larger whole (the "Big Picture"), they may say, "I've found a piece of the puzzle." Usually, they never find all the pieces and the Big Picture (the puzzle) remains more or less incomplete, sometimes for generations. The first Jigsaw ever invented was in the early 660s (probably 666) by a great sick creepy Mastermind signed PAX (who years later was found in Lebanon creating riddle for the 19th ESIB rally paper under the name Patrick Abi Chebel)
Types of Weltanschauungen[edit]
Among the favorite Big Pictures that jigsaw puzzles typically depict (or are said to depict) include:
- Creationism
- Organic evolution
- Atheism
- Agnosticism
- Theism
- Animism
- Polytheism
- Monotheism
- Democracy
- Naturalism
- Capitalism
- Communism
- Socialism
- Freudianism
- Gayness
Piecing Together the Big Picture[edit]
Many times, the Big Picture is simply a scene from nature: a sylvan forest, a babbling brook, a deer in the headlights, a pack of wolves devouring a kill, or bovine skeletons half-buried among a blizzard's shifting snowdrifts. The Big Picture suggests a unverse of cosmic order and sublime beauty, but were the "missing pieces" of the puzzle to be found and "pieced together," they would undercut this image of reality by showing the teeth and claws, the maw red with blood, and the ravenous scavengers tearing at the carcass of their hapless victim.
Other views of reality focus on technology, showing how the machines that human beings have created have helped to transform the earth into a paradise. The "missing pieces," however, show that this paradise is, if anything, more a hell than a heaven, with human beings reduced to fleshly robots whose experiences, like the products on the factory assembly line, are pieced together by a nameless, faceless fate.
The Big Picture changes from one generation to another and may or may not be regarded as authentic by everyone everywhere or even by anyone anywhere.
The few who have succeeded in piecing together all the puzzle pieces experience a "Eureka moment," a revelation (if they are religious) or an epiphany (if they are agnostics, atheists, or secularists), believing that they have, at last, penetrated to the very heart of existence, piecing together nothing less than the meaning and purpose of life, past, present, and future. In reality, they have seen only one of several thousands of possibilities. There are as many "realities," or "Big Pictures" as there are men and women, the puzzle makers assert, and one person's revelation or epiphany is another person's delusion.
In Western countries, jigsaw puzzles may be put together individually or collectively. In Communist countries, European, Asian, and Latin American alike, jigsaw puzzles are assembled by committees armed with scissors and The Communist Guide to Assembling The Big Picture.
Dream Significance[edit]
In a dream, a disassembled jigsaw puzzle suggests that one lacks a coherent worldview and sees him- or herself as scatterbrained or as having multiple personalities. Upon waking, a man or woman who dreams of a disassembled jigsaw puzzle should seek the help of a psychiatrist at once. A dream in which an assembled jigsaw puzzle appears indicates that the dreamer has mistaken one possibility regarding the meaning, purpose, and value of life for all others and is, in a word, a nitwit or an ass.

A core statistics text that emphasizes logical inquiry, not math
Basic Statistics for Social Research teaches core general statistical concepts and methods that all social science majors must master to understand (and do) social research. Its use of mathematics and theory are deliberately limited, as the authors focus on the use of concepts and tools of statistics in the analysis of social science data, rather than on the mathematical and computational aspects. Research questions and applications are taken from a wide variety of subfields in sociology, and each chapter is organized around one or more general ideas that are explained at its beginning and then applied in increasing detail in the body of the text.
Each chapter contains instructive features to aid students in understanding and mastering the various statistical approaches presented in the book, including:
- Learning objectives
- Check quizzes after many sections and an answer key at the end of the chapter
- Summary
- Key terms
- End-of-chapter exercises
- SPSS exercises (in select chapters)
Ancillary materials for both the student and the instructor are available and include a test bank for instructors and downloadable video tutorials for students.

The following evening, Sept. 7, the teams will play at Alaska Airlines Arena on UW campus with a 6 p.m. start time.
"We are looking forward to the matches in Seattle," said Canadian National Team Head Coach Arnd Ludwig. "It is a great opportunity to play against a top team (ranked fifth) from the NCAA and we see this series against UW as a great chance to fine tune our game for the NORCECA Championship, that starts a week later."
Husky Head Coach Jim McLaughlin said the Canadian National Team would put a lot of pressure on Washington. "They're getting ready for a major tournament and they'll be ready to go. It's going to be a good test for our team," he said. "Also, playing in the Final Four site is a big deal. We've had a great history with Canada so bringing them in made a lot of sense. We're lucky they had the time and the schedule worked out that we could do it."

The actress is opening up her closet to fans with a new online boutique!
Michael Tran/FilmMagic
Since her big break on Glee, actress Amber Riley has proudly been a style role model for plus-size women. And she's a master of flaunting her curves on the carpet. (Remember this amazing Golden Globes style moment?) Now, she's letting fans share in her fashion sense by letting them shop some of her favorite looks … from her own wardrobe!
Riley and her sister have teamed up for the online boutique Rileyland Fashions, which allows customers to purchase a number of plus-size designs.
"My sister and I are clothes fanatics and since so many of my curvier fans always express that they like my clothes I thought why not clean out my closet and fill up all of yours," she wrote on Facebook along with a first-look photo of the site. She added, "The clothes are affordable and most are never worn! There will be an official website coming soon with more than one of [a] kind clothing and more sizes for you plus size cuties!"
The duo even set up an Instagram account to showcase some of the dresses, tops and shoes available — which sold out almost instantly, leading them to post the below message.
We love the singer's body confidence and the positive message she continues to send to fans. "I don't deprive myself," she told PEOPLE back in 2010. "But I want to be healthy." And overall Riley embraces her entire body. "I love my breasts, my face, my butt," she shared. "I love myself."
What do you think of Riley's online boutique? Would you shop her closet? Share your thoughts below!

Hi Jen! I've followed your blog for a while every since I happily stumbled upon it a few months ago.

Best of luck with everything:)

|Military Space A Travel FAQ
|6. Sources of Information
|6.1) Where can I find out more?
The best source of up to date information is a passenger terminal. The personnel assigned there should be able to answer most of your questions about regulations and schedules. To get some advice on how to plan a trip you can try siting in the snack bar and talking to some of the "regulars" there. There are many retirees who catch hops for months at a time and can tell you stories about their Space A travels and some of the best places to go! There are also some excellent guidebooks available that have been written by seasoned Space A travelers.
6.2) What's the best guidebook to get?
6.3) Where can I find more Space-A information on the Internet?
On the Space A World Wide Web home page you will find the relevant portions of DoD Regulation 4515.13-R and COMDTINST M3710.1C, extensive how-to information, a listing of every facility with permanently stationed fixed wing aircraft that can carry Space A passengers, some lists of phone numbers, reviews of the best known guidebooks, news articles about Space A, the latest version of this FAQ, links to every other known Space A resource, and a wealth of related information. Just point your World Wide Web browser to <http://www.glue.umd.edu/~oard/spacea/>. Dirk Peppard runs a fairly active web chat page that is available from the Space A web page. Another source of Space A information on the Internet is Usenet News. The newsgroup <news:soc.veterans> is full of people with Space A experience, and that newsgroup is available on most systems. Another newsgroup with a more active discussion (but a somewhat less experienced membership) is <news:alt.military.cadet>. Your system may not carry that group, however, since many systems do not subscribe to the "alt" hierarchy. One thing that you should NOT do is send me (Doug Oard) a question about how to get somewhere. I maintain this page in my spare time, and there's not nearly enough of that! So I routinely refer such questions to the resources listed above.
6.4) Where should I send corrections and additional frequently asked questions?

New Energy Star Ratings Sneak up on Apple
In spite of being regarded by many as one of the most progressive companies in consumer electronics, Apple has never gotten much love from environmentalists. Over the course of the last few years, the company has been on the receiving end of a good deal of flak surrounding the disposal of their machines and other green issues. More recently, Apple has tried to make amends, touting, among other things, the company's commitment to doing away with CCFL backlights.
In light of such moves, Energy Star's recent upgrade to stricter standards is a bit of a blow to the Cupertino company, who, according to Engadget, doesn't have a single PC or notebook in their current line that qualifies for the seal, under these new, stricter guidelines. To be fair, only 125 systems currently on sale in the US qualify for the new standards--the thing is, Apple is one of the few manufacturers without a single model on the market that qualifies.
Companies have until January, before the new standards go into effect.

Take one random floating object, attach a radio beacon so you can find it again, drop it in the ocean and return later with a giant net and scoop up everything in sight. This is how much of the world's tuna is caught - using fish aggregating devices (FADs) with purse seine nets and it's a recipe for disaster. New Zealand's five big brands of canned tuna have committed to phase this destructive fishing method out of their supply chains.
This footage was given to Greenpeace by someone inside the tuna fishing industry who'd had enough of the destruction.

Kelly to attend Tuesday hearing; Stepien will not
Bridget Anne Kelly will attend a court hearing tomorrow that will decide whether she must turn over records to an legislative panel probing the closing of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September, her attorney said.
But an attorney for William Stepien, a two-time campaign manager and a former deputy chief of staff for Gov. Chris Christie whose case will be heard at at the same time, said his client will not attend.
Michael Critchley, the attorney for Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff for Christie, would only confirm her appearance and would not discuss why she plans to go.
Kevin Marino, Stepien's lawyer, would also not discuss his client's decision.
Stepien and Kelly have cited privacy and constitutional protections against self-incrimination and unreasonable searches in refusing to turn documents over to the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigation.
Oral arguments will take place before Judge Mary Jacobson in state Superior Court, Trenton. It is unknown whether she will issue a ruling tomorrow.

Since 1993, ballet students from around the country have descended upon the nation's capital for three weeks of intense study with one of the most important ballerinas of the 20th century. The ballerina is Suzanne Farrell and the students are some of the best that ballet has to offer.
In July and August, students from across the United States and around the world will participate in the twenty-fourth annual session of the Kennedy Center's ballet training program Exploring Ballet with Suzanne Farrell. The three-week residency for dancers ages 14 to 18 with at least five years of ballet training will be held at the Kennedy Center from July 25 – August 13, 2016.
During the three-week period, students take two ballet technique classes a day, six days a week, with Ms. Farrell. Students also participate in a number of cultural activities to enhance their experience in Washington, D.C., including museum visits, trips to historical landmarks, and attending performances.
In 1993 and 1994, the Kennedy Center offered two series of ballet master classes for students with Farrell, a former New York City Ballet principal dancer. This series provided intermediate-to-advanced level ballet students, ages 13 to 17, an opportunity to study with one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century. Due to the uniqueness of Farrell's place in the ballet world and the quality of her teaching, the Kennedy Center expanded the program to a national level in 1995 in order to fulfill the Center's mission to enhance the arts education of America's young people.
In the fall of 1999, Ms. Farrell received critical acclaim for the successful Kennedy Center engagement and East Coast tour of Suzanne Farrell Stages the Masters of 20th Century Ballet. During the 2000 Kennedy Center Balanchine Celebration, the newly named Suzanne Farrell Ballet, produced by the Kennedy Center, performed Balanchine's Divertimento No. 15. The company, a group of professional dancers hand selected by Ms. Farrell, has since performed at the Kennedy Center during engagements in 2001 and 2002, been on an extensive East Coast tour, and returned to the Kennedy Center as part of the 2003-2004 Ballet Season following a 7-week national tour. Students from the Exploring Ballet program have started to join the ranks of The Suzanne Farrell Ballet. The company performed Balanchine's Don Quixote as part of the Kennedy Center's 2004-2005 Ballet Season, the ballet's first performance in twenty-five years. Suzanne Farrell was selected as one of the five recipients of the 2005 Kennedy Center Honors, one of the highest honors for lifetime artistic achievement.
Farrell danced with the New York City Ballet from 1965-1969 and from 1975-1989, and was one of George Balanchine's most celebrated muses.
Exploring Ballet with Suzanne Farrell is made possible by the U.S. Department of Education.
Major support for the Kennedy Center's educational programs is provided by David and Alice Rubenstein through the Rubenstein Arts Access Program.
Education and related artistic programs are made possible through the generosity of the National Committee for the Performing Arts and the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts.

Ron Rivera has admired Jim Harbaugh's work ethic since the two were teammates with the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.
But as NFL head coaches they couldn't be more different. Rivera, a Marina, Calif., native, appears even tempered as he walks the sidelines for his Carolina Panthers. 49ers coach Harbaugh, meanwhile, wears his emotions on his sleeve.
'Jim is very intense,' Rivera said. 'He wants to win. But he has fun. There is no reason not to have fun. There's no reason not to be competitive. I admire the guy.'
That admiration as a player has translated to the coaching ranks for Rivera, whose Panthers host the 49ers on Sunday in the NFC divisional playoffs.
'I've watched what Coach Harbaugh has done,' said Rivera, a linebacker on the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl title team. 'This goes back to his days at Stanford.'
To a degree, Rivera has emulated what Harbaugh has done, building the Panthers around defense, a running game and a young, athletic quarterback.
Yet, while Harbaugh is an offensive-minded coach, Rivera is a defense guy, having orchestrated top-ranked units as a defensive coordinator in Chicago and San Diego.
The Panthers defense harassed the 49ers in their regular season on Nov. 10, holding them without a touchdown in a 10-9 win at Candlestick Park - one of only two teams this season to keep San Francisco out of the end zone.
Some looked at the game as a signature win for Rivera and the Panthers, who rattled off their fifth straight victory by beating the 49ers to put themselves in the playoff picture after a 1-3 start.
'It was a big win, but I don't know if it was a signature win,' Rivera said. 'We beat the defending NFC champions in their yard. But there have been a lot of big wins for us this year.'
Most have come at home, where the Panthers have won seven straight since falling 12-7 to Seattle in their season opener.
Rivera has the Panthers pointed in the right direction, taking over a 2-14 team in 2011, and going 6-10, 7-9 and then 12-4 this past season.
'There are a lot of positives,' said Rivera, whose defense is ranked second in the NFL, having held eight opponents under 15 points. 'Things are headed in the right direction.'
There are also similarities between both the Panthers' and 49ers' budding franchise quarterbacks.
As dangerous as Collin Kaepernick is with his legs, Rivera has a quarterback that can do damage on the ground as well in former Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton.
Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, threw for 3,379 yards and 24 touchdowns this year, while finishing as the team's second-leading rusher with 585 yards and six touchdowns.
Climbing out of a 1-3 start to the season turned each game into a playoff-type battle. So Rivera felt the week off last week was good for the Panthers.
'People forget that we had a bye after Week 3,' Rivera said. 'Every game became a must win. We were chasing New Orleans. We had the 49ers and Arizona on our tails. Every week has been so intense.'
For someone who has played in a Super Bowl and has been an assistant coach in the Super Bowl, being a head coach in a playoff game feels different - special.
'It's pretty exciting,' Rivera said. 'Obviously it's completely different as a player. As an assistant, you are one of the guys. But as the head coach in the postseason, I'm the one in the middle of it all.'
