Luncheon tickets are $20 and are available at the following locations: Sew What Bernina, 4136 Dowlen Road, Beaumont; The Fabric Store, 1605 S. Highway 69, Nederland; and at Golden Triangle Quilt Guild Meetings (the third Thursday of each month, 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.) at Northwood Christian Church, 5050 Eastex Freeway, Beaumont. Space is limited for the luncheon. The deadline to purchase tickets is Feb. 21. For more information, visit www.goldentrianglequiltguild.com [3] or call (409) 767-1700. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to benefit Habitat for Humanity and the American Heart Association.
The Golden Triangle Quilt Guild is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and education of the art of quilt making. Past auctions have raised funds for Boys' Haven, the Humane Society, Some Other Place, and Habitat for Humanity. The guild has also donated books with matching quilts, through a partnership with Region 5, to all schools in the area. These are distributed through the libraries of each school and teachers are able to check them out for their classes. Throughout the year, the guild donates to Boys' Haven (each boy receives a quilt that he is able to keep forever), Brooks Army Medical Center for wounded soldiers, Some Other Place, Women and Children's Shelter and United Board of Missions. Quilts are also donated for fundraisers (raffles and auctions) to Habitat for Humanity, the American Cancer Society, MD Anderson, Alzheimer's research, autism research, Quilts of Valor, the Humane Society and many other local community organizations. The Golden Triangle Quilt Guild has more than 200 members from Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana and was founded in 1981 by Anita Murphy.

So I was browsing the web when all the sudden my foot was sprayed with hot liquid. I thought it was the puppy peeing on me, only to look down and see water dumping out of my computer onto my foot. I jumped up and pulled the cord for the for the comp.
The computer was EXTREMELY hot, the coolant as easily 90+F. A hose had blown off my motherboard VRM block. The whole thing was toasty, it was hard to disassemble as it was almost to hot to hold the components. Either the TMS stopped the fans or the pump. I have a coolant sensor and 4 temperature sensors though out my rig. One in the rad, one under the motherboard VRM, one on the CPU and one on my GPU block. All of them had 35C limits. I also had the pump powered by the TMS with a flow sensor.
I guess the board locked up or something. I got no warning, and no shutdown. Guess it gets to go in the junk bin and buy an aquaero.

Re: TMS-205 flooded my rig
Before buying any replacement parts also check the health of the pump. Pumps do have a finite life time and can fail. Fans can also fail, there was a batch I got (don't recall brand name) and if mounted vertically overtime the frames and blades would eventually stretch and cease the fan. There could be more at fault and it would be a pain to have the new controller arrive to find something else had also failed.

Deep Fried Tarantulas
I was bored watching some clips about bugs last night on youtube and found this clip about people eating Spiders.(Tarantulas). I never really consider that tarantulas can be eaten since they are consider to be poisonous. Oh well, I guess anything is possible. Apparently in Cambodia, it has been one of their Delicacy.
I want to try it, maybe just the legs, but they don't make it here...lol..it probably taste like fried chicken legs.
I guess Fried tarantulas is just one of the dozen choices to be made while browsing for some other deep fried bugs.
It reminds me of that movie, "Arachnophobia"..whenever I look at it, still gives me shivers.

1993 XR1 is an asteroid, a large rock that orbits the Sun mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They tend to be an irregular shaped but Ceres asteroid is known to be spherical in shape but because it doesn't clear its path round the Sun, it is only a dwarf planet.
The absolute magnitude of the object is 13.8 which is the brightness of the object. A higher absolute magnitude means that the object is faint whereas a very low number means it is very bright.
The Longitude of Ascending Node of the object is 153.65560 degrees. It is the angle between the Reference Direction and the Ascending Node. It is normally represented by the greek letter Ω. The ascending node is the point in which the object passes north. The descending node is the southern.The Argument of Perihelion is 247.5357. It is the angle along the orbit of a planet or other Solar System object as measured from the ascending node (analogous to right ascension and longitude) Ref:Hawaii.
The mean anomoly is 135.31627, is the angular distance of the planet from the perihelion or aphelion. Ref:Dictionary.The Semi-Major Axis of the orbit is 2.2964112, which is the furthest point from the centre to the edge of an elliptical point.
The orbital inclination, the angle at which 1993 XR1 orbits in relation to the orbital plane is 5.27543 degrees. The orbital eccentricity is 0.1374450, it is the degree at which 1993 XR1 orbits close to a circular (0) orbit as opposed to an elliptical (1) orbit.

As usual, never consider the following commentary associated with these photos as a formal interpretation of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Without criticizing anyone or any product, the following scenarios present us with serious safety questions.
All references are based on the 2005 NEC.
Water, Water — Everywhere Trenton E. Schaaf, E.I.T., a project engineer with E/B/E, Inc., in Houston, thought EC&M readers might get a kick out of these photos. His firm was called in to help engineer a fix at a bank where the electrical room (located in the basement) had been subjected to numerous water infiltrations over the years.
"As you can see, previous attempts to stop the leaks were unsuccessful," said Schaaf. "Every one of the electrical conduits that pass through the foundation walls fills up with water every time it rains. The two large flex conduits for the secondary of the transformer allow water to flow directly into the equipment. It's amazing there hasn't been a fault condition yet. Note how the 4-inch conduit has separated at its connection point to the outside PVC, and someone tried to patch it with pipe putty. Also note the electrolysis scars on the EMT. The most interesting 'fix,' however, has to be the installation of a PVC 'drain' in the ¾-inch conduit. Incredibly, this arrangement hasn't led to a serious incident, yet. Any person entering this room during a rainstorm would be placed at immediate and extreme risk."
Using a toilet wax ring (or whatever material that is) to plug up the leaking pipe — and a plumbing tee into a stub to collect the water that found its way into the electrical raceways — is not an approved construction method. Neither are those rubber hose clamps, which we all know do not assure grounding and bonding continuity. Here's a list of just a few rules not being observed in this installation — 110.12(C), 250.2, 300.12, and Art. 250.

Data Collection
Reliable plant floor information
INTERAL knows how meaningful plant floor information can be to manufacturers, and has developed an advanced expertise in the data acquisition field. It appears that much of the information needed by companies already exists on the production floor, in administrative offices, or elsewhere, but sadly, the information is often incompatible to your formats, incomplete, or unreliable.
INTERAL has designed many different real-time data acquisition methods for production management that centralizes all the needed information in a format that is compatible with many types of applications. A centralized database containing production, laboratory or other types of data is populated in real-time to avoid information distortion and transcription errors.
Either with our data collection stations, with a customized interface or with electronic links to your systems, INTERAL can devise an intervention plan with you to optimize data acquisition functions based on the data's origin and on the responsibilities of the employees in place.
By developing a partnership with your company, INTERAL can follow your evolution and adapt your data acquisition architecture according to your evolving needs. Either with one of our commercial products or by developing a new technology based on your expectations, a complete, integrated solution is available to meet your needs.

Think Inside the Box
Forget brainstorming: People are at their most innovative when they work within the constraints of what they already know.
When most CEOs hear the word "innovation," they roll their eyes. It conjures up images of employees wasting hours, even days, sitting in beanbag chairs, tossing Frisbees and regurgitating ideas they had already considered. "Brainstorming" has become a byword for tedium and frustration.
Over the past decade, we have asked senior executives, on every continent and in every major industry, two key questions about innovation. The first: "On a scale of one to 10, how important is innovation to the success...

In a move that should bolster the state's chances of getting federal school reform dollars, the California State Board of Education approved common national academic standards.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger praised the board's unanimous vote Monday, saying the standard's "maintain California's high expectations and our belief that every student is capable of success in the classroom."
The Obama administration has pushed for common standards. States that adopt them score higher in the battle for "Race to the Top" grant money. California is currently a finalist in that competition.
Critics worried the common standards weren't as stringent as California's framework.
The board also voted to direct the state Education Department to create an implementation plan.

The vice president of the cancer charity founded by Lance Armstrong says the organization will persevere in the wake of the cyclist's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
The Livestrong Foundation's executive vice-president Andy Miller delivered what the organization described as a "major 'State of the Foundation' speech" Thursday in Chicago.
"Will the Livestrong Foundation survive? Yes. Absolutely, yes. Hell, yes. Our work is too meaningful, our role too unique, the need too great to stand for any other answer," Miller said.
Miller said the organization has remained steadfast in its shared mission despite "the noise and distractions.
"We were deeply disappointed to learn that we had been mislead," Miller said. "We listened to Lance, and forgave him so we could move forward."
Armstrong left the charity recently, saying he didn't want his association to damage the foundation's ability to raise money and continue its advocacy programs for cancer victims.
Originally called the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cyclist created the charity a year after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Company CEO Doug Ulman was originally scheduled to deliver Thursday's speech, but experienced travel delays.

OnlineCollege.org recently posted an interesting infographic based on research done by Columbia University's Community College Resource Center. The study analyzed 500,000 courses taken by 40,000 students within 34 Washington State colleges.
The infographic breaks up student success by many different factors–race, age, gender, and experience going into the course. As you will see, it seems to be harder for some groups of students to adapt to the online learning environment…in fact, it claims that all participants in the study did less well in online courses than they did in traditional face-to-face courses.

Three years ago I was in Pittsburgh and witnessed the G20 leaders commit to phasing out "inefficient fossil fuel subsidies over the medium term". That wasn´t the urgency we were looking for then, or the one sought with the global #endfossilfuelsubsidies twitter storm today.
But, we did hope then, that by 2012 we would have seen some progress, but the silence has been deafening, they have done absolutely nothing at all. Far from actually shifting subsidies from 'bads' to 'goods', G20 governments have yet to even define what they mean by "inefficient" or "medium term". Nor are they being transparent on the size of the subsidies.
Developed world governments plead here at the Rio+20 Earth Summit that they cannot offer new money to deliver sustainable development globally. Canada even wants to delete any reference to the commitment developed countries made 40 (!) years ago to spend 0.7 percent of national income on aid. Yes, the same Canada which is perfectly happy to hand out over $900 million to tar sands oil.
Developed world governments are epitomising hypocrisy here in Rio. They can´t say they have no money to deliver the Future We Want while handing out hundreds of millions to big oil, big coal and big gas (not to mention the billions they spent on saving greedy banks).
The reason governments are continuing to dole out subsidies to the fossil fuel dinosaurs of the past is the same reason why government are failing here at Rio+20: they are serving the short-term interests of a small number of polluting corporations. It is these corporations who are standing in the way of a fair and green economy.
Rio+20 should deliver transformational change, such as providing renewable energy to the over 1 billion people still without access to electricity. Instead, Rio+20 will be the next meeting ground of the fossil fools gathered in Mexico today. Back in Pittsburgh, I was a little bit hopeful. Here in Rio, that hope has shifted to anger and despair at our governments failure to meet the crises of economy, equity and ecology by investing in our future rather than subsidising our past.

If we agree to "think globally" about climate destabilization and at least one of its consensually validated principal agencies, it becomes evident that riveting attention on more and more seemingly perpetual GROWTH could be a grave mistake because we are denying how economic and population growth in the communities in which we live cannot continue as it has until now. Each village's resources are being dissipated, each town's environment degraded and every city's fitness as place for our children to inhabit is being threatened. To proclaim something like, 'the meat of any community plan for the future is, of course, growth' fails to acknowledge that many villages, towns and cities are already 'built out', and also 'filled in' with people and pollutants. If the quality of life we enjoy now is to be maintained for the children, then limits on economic and population growth will have to be set. By so doing, we choose to "act locally" and sustainably.
More economic and population growth are soon to become no longer sustainable in many too many places on the surface of Earth because biological constraints and physical limitations are immutably imposed upon ever increasing human consumption, production and population activities of people in many communities where most of us reside. Inasmuch as the Earth is finite with frangible environs, there comes a point at which GROWTH is unsustainable. There is much work to done locally. But that effort cannot reasonably begin without sensibly limiting economic and population growth.
Problems worldwide that are derived from conspicuous overconsumption and rapacious plundering of limited resources, rampant overproduction of unnecessary stuff, and rapid human overpopulation of the Earth can be solved by human thought, judgment and action. After all, the things we have done can be undone. Think of it as 'the great unwinding of human folly'. Like deconstructing the Tower of Babel. Any species that gives itself the moniker, Homo sapiens sapiens, can do that much, can it not?
"We face a wide-open opportunity to break with the old ways of doing the town's business….." That is a true statement. But the necessary "break with the old ways" of continuous economic and population growth is not what is occurring. There is a call for a break with the old ways, but the required changes in behavior are not what is being proposed as we plan for the future. What is being proposed and continues to occur is more of the same, old business-as-usual overconsumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities, the very activities that appear to be growing unsustainably. More business-as-usual could soon become patently unsustainable, both locally and globally. A finite planet with the size, composition and environs of the Earth and a community with the boundaries, limited resources and wondrous climate of villages, towns and cities where we live may not be able to sustain much longer the economic and population growth that is occurring on our watch. Perhaps necessary changes away from UNSUSTAINABLE GROWTH and toward sustainable lifestyles and right-sized corporate enterprises are in the offing.
Think globally while there is still time and act locally before it is too late for human action to make any difference in the clear and presently dangerous course of unfolding human-induced ecological events, both in our planetary home and in our villages, towns and cities. If we choose to review the perspective of a 'marketwatcher' who can see what is actually before our eyes, perhaps all of us can get a little more reality-oriented to the world we inhabit and a less deceived by an attractive, flawed ideology that is highly touted and widely shared but evidently illusory and patently unsustainable.
This situation is no longer deniable. Opportunities like the one offered at RIO+20 cannot be missed. During my lifetime, many have understood the Global Predicament we are facing now, but only a few 'voices in the wilderness' were willing to speak out loudly and clearly about what everyone can see. It is not a pretty sight. The human community has precipitated a planetary emergency that only humankind is capable of undoing. The present 'Unsustainable Path' has to be abandoned in favor of a "road less travelled by". It is late; there is no time left to waste. Perhaps now we will gather our remarkably abundant, distinctly human resources and respond ably to the daunting, human-induced, global challenges before us, the ones that threaten life as we know it and the integrity of Earth as a fit place for human habitation. Many voices, many more voices are needed for making necessary changes.

Steven Earl Salmony has hit the nail on the head.
'Sustainable Growth' is an oxymoron. By it's very nature, growth is unsustainable unless in an infinite environment.
However, it is doubtful whether governments will actually do anything or put in place any meaningful global laws in RIO+20. They never have and they never will - until it is too late. History teaches us this.
But we, the people, can make a difference - if only a small one - by acting individually to reduce or own pollution, our own exacerbation of the situation. It may seem small, but if enough of us act then something can be achieved. Let RIO+20 not be known for a failure of governments - which it will - but a success of the people.
May the God-Emperor watch over you all.

Thank you for an informed analysis, Steven Earl Salmony
Limits to population growth is a tough one however I agree that if we are to maintain current quality of life it must be addressed. With some accurate information recognition of human population as a global problem is not difficult. The quantity continues to climb while availability of critically necessary resources for the most part decline or remain steady.
Procreation is also personal, and deeply personal. Throughout much of life most any individual may face the choice between contributing to this problem and being part of the solution.
People may face this choice and they may not if not aware of it.

Why J/105? A SAIL Magazine Review
"Maximum Speed-to-Cost Ratio"
|It's a two person one-design sport cruiser that will keep up with a fully crewed racing boat. In the J/105 (10.5 meters LOA) designer Rod Johnstone has gone for high end power and an interior that is as simple as possible to provide the maximum speed-to-cost ratio.
The boat has low freeboard for minimal wind resistance, a low center of gravity, and the look of speed that Johnstone likes. Although the overall beam is not extreme, there is a lot of flare in the topsides, and the waterline is quite narrow. There is also very little below the waterline, so wetted surface is minimal. The keel is a bulb to enhance stability. And with a very simple and light interior, the 105's displacement is a lean and hungry 8,500 pounds. Most striking of all the J/105's features, though, is the retractable bowsprit and the big asymmetric spinnaker it sets. A crew of two can manage it, and one can gybe it.
I sailed the 105 in light conditions and found the asymmetric sail fun to set and trim. It was more docile than a conventional chute and got us up to wind speed at 90 degrees apparent-faster when we turned farther downwind.
Upwind, the boat is pure J: finger light on the helm, easily balanced, with an instant response to helm inputs. A tiller is standard; the optional Edson wheel is generously sized (48 inch diameter) and attached to a sturdy fiberglass pedestal that's great for bracing your feet.
|Other standard equipment includes Navtec rod rigging, a Sailtec hydraulic backstay adjuster, a Hall Spars Quikvang, and a dodger.
The dodger covers a rather large companionway opening, the only place with standing headroom below deck. Designer Johnstone's figuring goes like this: With a sailing couple, only the woman is apt to be concerned with the interior, the average woman is 5 feet, 7 inches. Subtracting 2 inches makes for manageable headroom for her, and voila, a 5-foot, 5-inch interior. There's the logic of a very experienced performance sailor!

Using a garbage disposal is the swift and environmentally easy alternative to removing food waste from your kitchen. A garbage disposal is made to efficiently eliminate leftover food waste by grinding remains into fine particles that are easily flushed away. When shopping, look for a few key features before purchasing a garbage disposal, such as what type you will need? How much horsepower do you want? Are there any special features that you require? We also recommend to check if your waste goes to a septic tank, as this can determine the specific type you will need.
Abt carries both types of garbage disposal systems, continuous and batch feed. Continuous feed disposers are turned on and off with a power switch. They usually have a shield surrounding the hole in the sink so things do not come back out while being ground for disposal. Some continuous feed disposals have a reverse setting to help reduce jamming. Batch feed disposals operate when a lid is engaged, making them safer. They are a good option for families with children because food is unable to fly out of the sink. Batch feed food waste disposals are usually more expensive than the continuous feed disposals.
The size of the motor in the garbage disposal directly correlates to the units grinding ability. Garbage disposals typically have between 1/3-1 horsepower motors. Choose the correct horsepower based on the waste that you need to remove. 1/3 horsepower units will help tackle tasks like grinding vegetables easily, but more power is recommended if disposing a large quantity of food waste such as, vegetables and harder to grind meats. Additional features that come on food disposals may include anti-jam devices, a stainless steel grinding chamber, dishwasher connection, a disposal for use with septic tanks, and quiet operation enhancements. If you are looking for further options, be prepared to spend slightly more than you would on the average garbage disposal. Browse disposals from top brands like GE, Kitchenaid and Whirlpool, or contact Abt's Sale Specialists at 888.228.5800 to learn more.

This kit includes the best dermatologist recommended mineral sunscreen products for everyday protection.
This kit includes Citrix Sunscreen SPF 40 for the face, ears, and neck, along with Solbar Zinc Sunscreen SPF 38 for the chest, hands, and other areas that need sun protection.
Availability: In stock
Know you have the best sun protection with dermatologist recommended sun protection products containing micro sized zinc oxide. Micro sized zinc oxide is the most reliable and best sunblock to protect you from UVA and UVB rays.
This kit includes Citrix Sunscreen SPF 40 for the face, ears, and neck. For my skin, this is the best every day sunscreen. It has an SPF 40 with 7% micro sized zinc oxide mineral sun block in an oil free base that is invisible on the skin and should not aggravate acne or sting the eyes. It layers on the skin nicely with other skin care products and is water resistant for 80 minutes. I have used it every day for years and have never found a better product for my skin.
The kit also includes Solbar Zinc SPF 38 Sunscreen for the chest, hands, and other areas of skin that need sun protection. Solbar Zinc is my favorite sunscreen for sports, sweaty activities and applying to large expanses of unprotected skin. This SPF 38 sun block has an oil free base that's pretty much water and rub resistant and is gentle on the eyes.
I've depended on Solbar Zinc Sunscreen for years when I garden, swim, hike or do any outdoor activity where I'll be sweating, wet or potentially rubbing off my sun block. The lotion base binds well to the skin and is considered a 'very water resistant sunscreen' as tested by the United States testing standards for sunscreens. Solbar Zinc Sunscreen has never failed me. Plus, it won't clog pores and doesn't sting my eyes unless I get it directly in them. Its moisturizing lotion base is easy to spread over the skin, making it perfect for applying to large areas such as the back, arms and legs for complete sun protection.
Dermatologists and skin professionals agree that sun protection is critical for skin cancer prevention and anti aging skin care. I've searched long and hard for high quality, reliable sun screens, and Citrix and Solbar Zinc fit the bill. I've trusted them for years and wear them every day.
Dr. Cynthia Bailey Wants You To Know These Important Facts About Sunscreen
It's my opinion that zinc oxide is the best sunscreen ingredient for broad spectrum UVA and UVB sun protection.
Zinc oxide, and its cousin titanium dioxide, are considered mineral sunscreens (and are also called physical sunscreens). When applied to your skin these mineral/physical sunscreens sit on top of your skin and bounce off the UV rays just like bouncing a ball off of a wall. They provide non-irritating, hypoallergenic broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection that you can trust. Nano technology made it possible for mineral sunscreen to be applied invisibly to your skin. New zinc oxide technology has made it possible for even non-nano zinc oxide products to rub almost invisibly onto your skin too.
Mineral sunscreens are the only sunscreens that I trust and recommend. That's because the other type of sunscreens, called chemical sun screens (and also confusingly also called 'organic' sunscreens!), actually absorb into the top of your skin and block the sun rays with a chemical reaction that occurs within your skin itself. The reaction creates a little heat, which make you feel even hotter in the sun. More importantly, it breaks down the chemical sunscreen ingredients so that they aren't there to protect you anymore. Thus your skin steadily runs out of the chemical sunscreens when you're in the sun.
The mineral sunscreens on the other hand last longer on your skin because the UV rays don't break them down like this. They're also more stable in the sunscreen bottle than 'chemical' sunscreens, which break down while they sit on the bottle waiting for you to buy them and use them.
Of the mineral sunscreen ingredients, I recommend only zinc oxide and not titanium dioxide because it rubs onto your skin better and gives better broad spectrum protection.
Remember, harmful and aging UV sun rays come through most windows. You need to apply sunscreen to all exposed areas of your skin every day even if you don't plan to spend time outdoors. Applying a mineral zinc oxide sunscreen should be part of your daily skin care routine!

I walked past Mouse Town this evening and glanced down at Squeaky picking through the food dish. Then I saw Gerbil. She was on her side and she was dead. She was almost exactly two years old. She was the mouse I picked out. I liked her a lot. I'll miss her.
Alex was kind enough to take care of the funeral services, meaning he put her inside a toilet paper tube and buried her near the other mouse corpses. He did dig her shallow grave with a spoon, so I'm pretty sure he's going to have to dig her up tomorrow when it's not pouring rain and re-inter her. Because I'm not going to do it.
This only leaves Squeaky. Remember Squeaky? She is the mouse with skin problems. She is missing probably half of her fur. I have no idea how that mouse is still alive. She looks like Mousenstein. And I bet she's lonely now.

How to Set Up a Projector for a PowerPoint 2007 Presentation
It's time to share your PowerPoint presentation with your audience. If you're going to show your PowerPoint presentation using a computer projector and a laptop, you need to know how to connect the computer to your laptop, and how to set up the projector, turn it on, focus it, and so on. These details vary among projectors, so consult the projector manual. The following list provides a few general tips that might help:
Connecting the projector: Most laptops have an external video port on the back or side, and most projectors have a video input connection. A standard VGA or DVI (depending on the type of connector on the PC and the projector) cable works to connect the computer to the projector.
Activating the external video port: To use the laptop with a projector, activate the external video port. Some laptops have a key that you can press to accomplish this; others require that you change the display settings. If you can't figure out how to make the switch, try right-clicking an empty area of the desktop and choosing Properties. This brings up a Properties dialog box. Click the Settings tab and then click Advanced and look for a setting to enable the external video port.
Resuming normal video: When your presentation is finished, switch your computer back to its normal video port setting before you disconnect the projector.
Selecting the projector's video input: Most projectors accept input from more than one source. You might be able to connect a computer and a VCR to the projector. The projector should have some buttons or perhaps a menu that lets you select the input used to display the presentation.
Using the projector's remote control: If you want to use the projector's remote control to operate your presentation, you need the appropriate cable to connect the projector to your laptop's mouse port or USB. The correct cable should come with the projector.
Using sound: If your presentation has sound, connect your computer's sound outputs to a set of amplified speakers or a PA system. The correct cable depends on the PA system, but a cable with a mini-stereo plug on one end and a 1/4-inch plug on the other will probably do the trick.

Joe Biden's Iowa fan club
DES MOINES – Sometimes Joe Biden wants to go where everybody knows his name.
And at Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's steak fry Sunday, Biden will be among friends – people who know him not because he's the nation's number-two elected official and who don't refer to him as "the vice president" or, back in the day, as "Sen. Biden."
Story Continued Below
To many activists in this state, which Biden has courted on and off for nearly 30 years, he's just "Joe."
More than perhaps any presidential candidate in modern times, Biden has cultivated a set of relationships in Iowa – and that other key primary state, New Hampshire – that date back decades, to his first presidential campaign in 1987.
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden over the years)
That race ended abruptly, when Biden dropped his candidacy amid a plagiarism scandal and the start of the Robert Bork hearings in Washington. But in the intervening years, Iowa Democrats and veteran Biden allies say he has worked hard to maintain his friendships in the state, and not merely for political reasons.
He developed genuine bonds during that first campaign and renewed them in his 2008 race, which ended in a disappointing fifth-place Iowa finish. If Biden seeks the presidency a third time in 2016, his friends in Iowa say they're prepared to saddle up again for a man who has become more than a political candidate to them.
"He has literally – as he would say, literally – touched just about every Iowan there is," said Teri Goodmann, a Dubuque Democrat who has stayed in contact with Biden since his '87 effort. "Joe is a person to hold your hand or touch a shoulder, or share an emotion. Joe is a known entity in Iowa."
Former Delaware Sen. Ted Kaufman, who was Biden's finance director in the '88 race, predicted of the steak fry: "So many people will come to that event because they're friends with him, and I mean outside-D.C. friends."
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden mingles with the stars)
"He has relationships with people. Jill has relationships with people. Valerie has relationships with people," Kaufman said, referring to the vice president's sister, Valerie Biden Owens. "He's gone out there for people's funerals."
The vice president's Iowa following underscores, in some respects, what an unusual politician Biden is in the year 2013 – a political moment dominated by politicians who rise quickly and burn out fast, and whose essential skill is typically mass communication through TV and social media.
On the contrary, Biden is a retail campaigner of the old school, a man who embarked on his political career before the advent of cable television and whose longevity in national politics sets him apart from even Hillary Clinton among the possible 2016 hopefuls. His first major campaign appearance in Iowa was at a Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in the autumn of 1985.
( WATCH: Biden: 'Neanderthal crowd' slowed VAWA renewal)
Indeed, looking at Biden's original Iowa team is like sending a gang of prominent Democrats from the 21st century back through a time warp. His 1988 state director was David Wilhelm, later chairman of the Democratic National Committee under Bill Clinton. Obama-Biden media consultant Larry Grisolano was, at the time, Biden's Iowa field coordinator. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and his wife, Christie Vilsack, were youth organizers.
The Iowans Biden has known for most of his adult lifetime speak of him as a recurring presence in their own lives, including at deeply intimate moments. Judy McCoy Davis of Des Moines, who worked on Biden's 1988 race, said Biden's contacts in Iowa are far more "two-sided" than those of most aspiring presidents.
In her own case, Biden sought out McCoy Davis during a visit for former Congressman Leonard Boswell ahead of the 2008 campaign. After dining with a small group, Biden gave her a "pep talk" about how to go on in life without her late husband, former Des Moines Mayor Arthur Davis, another Biden '88 alum.
( Also on POLITICO: Biden wants Napolitano on SCOTUS)
"He really wanted to talk to me about the fact that he knew what it was like to lose a spouse," recalled McCoy Davis, who said Biden's longest-standing supporters in Iowa often reassemble for his visits. "Almost everyone [can] talk about the very personal ways that he stays in touch. It's less about the political side of things than it is just the interest in what's happening with you."

Now you're telling me that you need to take the selvage remnants, which are not gorgeous, mix them up and put them all together? Are you kidding me? I have a roomful full of fabric and now I have to go back and salvage those strips? A lot of them don't have proper seam allowance...what do you do with those? Fortunately, I have already saved some. More importantly, in my opinion, I have kept the diagrams Daisy Kingdom, etc always used on their cutouts, plus bits and pieces even tho I have never made a scrap quilt and never intended to. Now I find my self obsessing about scraps! What about excess wording from feed sacks...what's next? Who makes up this stuff?

5 - 10 October
Milan, Italy
Hall 11, Stand F17
SMC, a global leader in pneumatic and electrical automation technology, will be showcasing its full range of 'tools' for the mechanical engineering industry at this year's EMO 2015, Milan from stand F17 in Hall 11.
From machine tools and precision tools to linking devices and industrial electronics, visitors to the SMC stand will be impressed by the solutions displayed in six product zones: Sensor & Diagnostic, Handling, Cooling & Filtration, Machinery Safety, Valves & SI Units and Energy Saving.
In the Sensor & Diagnostic area the newly launched ISA3 digital gap checker will be showcased. Designed with operators in mind, the ISA3 makes it simple to gauge the distance between the detection surface and the tool, with an easy three step entry system for the switch point value. These features deliver savings in terms of labour time, energy and operating costs.
Also taking a stand will be the RHC high power rod cylinder and the SGC coolant valve. The RHC is ideal for high speed operations or heavy loads at lower speeds, thanks to its longer cushion design. Compatible with speeds up to 3000 mm/s with light loads, it has the capacity to absorb 10 to 20 times more energy than general purpose cylinders.
And the SGC enjoys a long service life with at least 5 million cycles and is environmentally friendly too thanks to its energy efficiencies and reduced reliance for harmful chemical substances.
SMC's Massimo Gaetti, Industrial Sectors Sales Manager said: "We can't wait to welcome people to our stand and give them an insight into the outstanding range of products that we produce for the machine tool industry.
"We are always looking into the future and designing solutions for
our customers that will help them maintain a competitive advantage in a
demanding global marketplace."
The SMC stand F17 in Hall 11 will be hosted by a team of multi-lingual technical experts that are skilled in developing solutions to meet their customers' challenges.

|Hypoglycemia Evidence of Previous Gastric Surgery
|Drug: Pramlintide
|Phase 4
This study is an open-label short-term proof of concept study. The investigators will administer pramlintide to patients with severe post-prandial hypoglycemia following gastric bypass, in order to determine whether pramlintide is effective in reducing the frequency or severity of hypoglycemia. Pramlintide will be prescribed for 8 weeks. In order to assess the efficacy of pramlintide to prevent post-prandial hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic symptoms, the investigators will compare (a) blood glucose measurements and frequency of hypoglycemic symptoms, before and at the end of the drug intervention, using both capillary glucose monitoring and continuous glucose monitoring, and (b) glycemic, hormonal, and energetic responses to a three-hour mixed meal tolerance test.
The study will utilize an open label design to evaluate the efficacy of pramlintide in patients who have had gastric bypass and have severe postprandial hypoglycemia. The study will not be randomized or blinded. The investigators will recruit 26 participants from Joslin Diabetes Center.
Briefly, participants in this study will be asked to complete 4 study visits. The first visit will be for screening. They will then be asked to keep a 3-day log in which they record food intake (including estimated portion sizes), blood glucoses eight times daily, as well as any hypoglycemic symptoms, before they initiate treatment. At a second study visit, they will undergo a mixed meal tolerance test, which will serve as a baseline evaluation. Patterns of (a) glucose excursions (initial postprandial peak, subsequent postprandial fall and potential hypoglycemia), and (b) hormonal responses (insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, incretins) will be assessed. At the end of the mixed meal, satiety will be assessed using a visual analog scale. Baseline hypoglycemia frequency and severity will be assessed by reviewing patient glucose and hypoglycemia symptom log recorded prior to the visit.
At the completion of visit 2, pramlintide will be prescribed, with instructions for titration of the drug from minimal to maximal dose (see titration schedule below) to help reduce the incidence of side effects. During the treatment period, the participants will keep a record of all hypoglycemic symptoms and blood glucose measurements at those times.
There will be one follow-up visit (visit 3) in the middle of the treatment period for evaluation of symptoms and tolerance of medication. During the last (eighth) week of treatment, for comparison with pre-treatment glycemia, participants will again complete a food diary, and measure and record blood glucoses eight times daily for 3 days. During that final week of the study, participants will also come to a fourth study visit, during which they will undergo a repeat mixed meal tolerance test for comparison with the pre-treatment results.

Pramlintide (Symlin)
Participants in this study will be asked to complete 4 study visits. Study visit 1 will be for screening. Eligible individuals who provide informed consent will be asked to keep a 3-day log of food intake, blood glucose (8 per day), as well as any hypoglycemic symptoms. At study visit 2, a baseline mixed meal tolerance test will be performed. Glucose, hormonal responses, and satiety will be assessed. Glucose and symptom log will be reviewed. Pramlintide will be prescribed, with instructions for titration from minimal to maximal dose (15 to 120 µg). During treatment, the participants will keep a record of all hypoglycemic symptoms and blood glucose measurements at those times.
Study visit 3 will occur at week 4 of treatment and focus on evaluation of symptoms and side effects. Participants will again complete a food and glucose diary for 3 days. During study visit 4 (week 8 of treatment), participants will undergo a repeat mixed meal tolerance test.
Drug: Pramlintide
See description above (arm description).
Other Name: Symlin
- Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]The primary study endpoint will be assessment of clinical response to pramlintide treatment, as indicated by paired comparison of the frequency of glucose values under 70 mg/dl (expressed as percentage of day, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring). Additional parameters assessed for clinical efficacy include other glucose parameters derived from both capillary glucose and symptom monitoring for 5 days 8 times daily (average blood glucose, minimum blood glucose, frequency of reported symptoms, and frequency of glucose values < 70 mg/dl) and continuous glucose monitoring (including minimum glucose, frequency of glucose values >140 mg/dl, and maximum glucose values) prior to and during pramlintide therapy.
- meal hormonal responses [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]The secondary study endpoints will be assessment of pramlintide effects on mixed meal hormonal responses, including glucagon, insulin, and incretins. Additional comparisons will include measures of satiety and fasting and diet-induced thermogenesis and respiratory quotient. Pre- and post-treatment fasting values and postprandial values (peak values, area under curve) will be compared using a two-sided comparison of paired means.

Music legend Cher has launched a scathing attack on the online hackers who leaked an unfinished version of her duet with Lady Gaga.
The "Believe" singer's collaboration with Gaga, "The Greatest Thing," has emerged on the Internet and Cher is furious as the leaked copy is not the final version of the song.
The track was intended for Cher's next album but was never released as Gaga, who wrote the lyrics, decided she didn't like the finished product, and Cher took to her Twitter on Tuesday to voice her anger about the leak.
She writes, "Just heard (The Greatest Thing)! [Bleep] ! It's not even the right [bleep] version!!! Why do ppl (people) think this kinda leaking [bleep] is ok ! I'm so [bleep] disappointed. … I've sat on (that) song 4 (for) over a yr (year). Now some [bleep] leaks (the) wrong version! Gaga's single is great, & that's all that matters."
Cher's tirade came just a day after Gaga was forced to rush-release her new single "Applause" on Monday, a week before its intended premiere date on August 19, after the material leaked online.

Jule Styne is a Tony Award- and Academy Award-winning composer known for writing over 1500 songs over the course of his career, including scores for such notable Broadway musicals as GYPSY, FUNNY GIRL, GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, PETER PAN, BELLS ARE RINGING, DO RE MI, SUGAR and HALLELUJAH, BABY! Teaming with lyricist Sammy Cahn in the 1940s, he also created a string of Hit Parade leaders and chart-topping hits, including the Oscar-winning "Three Coins In The Fountain" besides many hits culled from his film, TV and theatre scores. In addition to Sammy Cahn, Styne's illustrious collaborators include Stephen Sondheim, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Bob Merrill, Leo Robin and E.Y. Harburg, with their combined efforts over the years having produced such unforgettable showstopping standards as "Everything's Coming Up Roses", "Don't Rain On My Parade", "Let Me Entertain You", "The Party's Over", "People", "Never Never Land", "Just In Time", and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", just to name a few - many of which will be performed in this sure-to-be spectacular Mother's Day fundraising event.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® was founded in 1993 by the late Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research. The mission of the Foundation is not just cure - the eradication of existing disease - but also prevention, which implies stopping cancers before they happen by knowing how they happen. Determined to continue Evelyn Lauder's philanthropic ambition and honor her lasting impact on research, BCRF is fiercely committed to pursuing her vision.
Currently, 91 cents of every dollar spent by BCRF is directed towards breast cancer research and awareness programs. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised more than $465 million - over $71 million in fiscal year 2013 alone - to support research at medical institutions across the globe conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research.
For more information on the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, please call 646-497-2600 (toll-free, 1-866-FIND-A-CURE), or visit the Foundation web site: www.bcrfcure.org.
We would be thrilled if you would consider joining us for this once-in-a-lifetime special event this Mother's Day! After all, Jule Styne wrote the mother of all musicals, GYPSY, and musicalized the ultimate musical theatre mother, Madame Rose, so brilliantly within it - thus, this May 11 is... for him.

Marisa Rand has no need for precious stones. That's because this Calvert County, MD artist crafts her jewelry from the skulls of birds. Morbid? Maybe. Awesome? Definitely.
Her pieces—which include rings, ear rings, and necklaces—aren't made from the actual skulls themselves, mind you. They're actually resin copies made from a silicone mold which is shrunken down from the skull's natural, attached-to-the-bird's-neck size. Her skulls come from Sparrows, Magpies, Crows, and Parakeets—there's even a raccoon femur key chain. Prices range from $7 to $20, though her Etsy page is currently having a Dollar Off sale. [Etsy]

Please remember to follow the manual of style and code of conduct at all times.
Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in the Bulbagarden Discord server.
- If you were looking for the character controlled by the player, see player character.
A PC (Japanese: パソコン personal computer) is a technology used in all of the core series Pokémon games. They are found in every Pokémon Center, as well as in any main character's bedroom, in all Secret Bases in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing Pokémon and items.
PCs are networked throughout a region, but require special systems to connect between two faraway regions, as shown when Celio and Bill had to work together on the Network Machine to allow PCs in the Sevii Islands to be able to connect to Kanto's computer network. While there was no communication issue shown to be present between Kanto and Johto, it is likely that the two regions being adjacent allowed them to form a single network. However, the PC in the Sinjoh Ruins was shown to connect to the Kanto and Johto network despite not being in either region.
PC functions
| This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Trainer PR Videos and Photo Spot photos needed.
Pokémon Storage System
- Main article: Pokémon Storage System
Every Pokémon Trainer is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either Bill in Johto and Kanto, Lanette in Hoenn, Bebe in Sinnoh, Amanita in Unova, or Cassius in Kalos.
Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their party. When a Pokémon is caught but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon is simply deleted.
Pokédex checking
In almost all Pokémon games, the player can use a PC to have the Pokémon Professor of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from Professor Rowan to Professor Oak upon obtaining the National Pokédex. However, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead.
Item storage system
In Generations I, II, and III, due to not having unlimited Bag space as in Generation IV onward, item storage is done on the player's own personal computer, noted as "<player name>'s PC". The system is much simpler than the Pokémon Storage System as it does not have multiple Boxes for organizing items. Also, unlike the Pokémon Storage System, when an item is found but the Bag is full in the main series games, it will not automatically be sent to this part of the PC, and instead it cannot be picked up; this does occur in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.
Mail that is taken from a Pokémon will also be stored in the PC in the mailbox, preserving the message.
In Generation IV, this function is no longer necessary since the Bag has nearly unlimited space for all items. Instead, the personal PC manages only Mail, Seals, and photosHGSS.
In Generation V, with the omission of Seals and photos from the games, the PC's only function is to store Mail.
In Generation VI, with the removal of Mail, the item storage system is removed from the PC.
Hall of Fame
- Main article: Hall of Fame
This function only becomes accessible after defeating the Elite Four. It shows up to 25 records of past victories over the Elite Four.
In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC has a secondary purpose of managing decorations.
In Pokémon Colosseum, PCs also function as save points. This feature was removed in Pokémon XD, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of every other main series game.
In the anime
| This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
The PC is not frequently used by Trainers in the anime. Professor Oak tends to keep Ash's extra Pokémon at his laboratory until the Best Wishes series, when Professor Juniper keeps Ash's Unova-native Pokémon at her laboratory.
PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a video phone; for example, in Beauty and the Breeder, Brock is shown using an e-mail account on the PC to keep in contact with Suzy, and May mentions to her mother in Hi Ho Silver Wind that she keeps in touch with her friends by e-mail, in addition to phone calls and letters.
In The Ties That Bind, Ash is shown using a PC to look up Gary Oak's profile. PCs were also used by Paul in Casting a Paul on Barry! to get information on Barry's Pokémon and vice-versa. It was also used by Ash in the same episode to look up info on Conway and Conway then used it to study Tobias. In addition, Nurse Joy and many officials for the Pokémon League and Pokémon Contests are often shown using PCs.
The PCs in the anime appear to have operating systems that are visually similar to Mac OS.
There are numerous glitches associated with PCs in various generations of the games.
Invisible PC
- Main article: List of glitches in Generation I
In the Generation I games, there is an invisible PC in the hotel in Celadon City, which appears very similar to a Pokémon Center. The invisible PC is located where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center.
Hall of Fame glitch
- Main article: List of glitches in Generation I
In the Generation I games, seeing certain glitch Pokémon such as Missingno. will corrupt the player's Hall of Fame records.
Cloning glitches
- Main article: Cloning glitches
Almost all cloning glitches are related to the PC.

Very rarely does contemporary Uzbek prose get translated directly into English. Yet English readers have just been given a rare chance to discover the novel The Devils' Dance (Tilted Axis Press, trans. by Donald Rayfield), by the prominent Uzbek writer and journalist Hamid Ismailov. In it, Ismailov introduces the curious reader to perhaps the most famous modern Uzbek writer, Abdulla Qodiriy. The novel tells the story of Qodiriy, who, like many intellectuals in the Soviet Union in the late 30s, was imprisoned and eventually shot dead. While in jail, Qodiriy attempts to recreate the unfinished novel the KGB has just confiscated, which portrays Oyhon, a poet-queen who lived in the last, grand days of nineteenth-century Turkestan when London and Saint Petersburg were fighting over Central Asia in the Great Game. I interviewed Ismailov about his diverse identities and the place of Uzbek literature in today's global writing.
Filip Noubel (FN): You are a global writer: you were born in what is today Kyrgyzstan, studied and worked in Uzbekistan, and now live in London. You write in both Uzbek and Russian, and appear in translation in a number of languages ranging from English to Chinese. In your books and interviews, you often refer to the plurality of cultures but also to their clashes. How is this multiple identity shaping your writing?
Hamid Ismailov (HI): Recently I did a DNA test, and aside from the obvious, I discovered that 4% of my genes are of South Asian origin and 2% are Irish, not to mention 1% Native American. So if my genes are telling me that I'm related to people like Rabindranath Tagore and James Joyce even on a genetic level, so be it! But, generally, the people of Central Asia, which is an area historically placed in the middle of the Silk Road, should be blessed to be born into multiculturalism, multi-lingualism and multi-identity. If you read my book The Railway you can see how many nationalities, traditions, and ways of life I have been exposed to in my childhood, so no wonder that I love to write in different languages, and to put myself into different shoes. In fact, exploring "otherness" both as a subject and an object is the most interesting part of literature.

A Classic and Elegant Wedding at The Westin Columbus in Columbus, Ohio
Jenna Miller (27 and an executive assistant) and Jay Heller (28 and a CPA) based their entire wedding theme on the look of their elegant reception space at The Westin: a classic wedding with a black, white, and gold color palette. The all-white garden roses and hydrangeas in the bouquets and centerpieces added texture to the white accents, while hanging votive candles and willow branches heightened the aura of whimsy around the space. Jenna even designed the table numbers, programs, menus, place cards and...the pizza boxes that held the late night pizza snacks!
