Love Triangles
Splash, Pacific Coast News
Somewhere between Brange-Aniston and LeAnne-Eddie-Brandi lives Kate Mara/Max Minghella/Justin Long. Maybe only 3 of you care about this but since Mara is in House Of Cards and everyone is talking about House Of Cards, it may be more interesting than you think. It's interesting to me because I was one of the few who actually saw Ten Years. Full Story
Maui under 30
The Maui Film Festival kicked off today. I know Megan Fox is scheduled to be there to pick up an award for doing right by the environment. And several other hot actors under 30 too. Is that what it's about? I hope they sent enough paps. Here are Garrett Hedlund, Kate Mara, Max Minghella, and Andrew Garfield hanging out yesterday on the island. Full Story
Worst SAG Headband: Kate Mara
Also known as the sister of Lisbeth Salander, Rooney Mara. Kate is dating Max Minghella who starred with Rooney in The Social Network. They also, Kate and Max, worked together on an upcoming film called Ten Year. Kate is so periphery I normally wouldn't include her in this kind of wrap-up but her dress and her headgear were so jarring when I was browsing through photos, I couldn't not show you, just in case you missed her.

I was just getting ready to throw some love on Clinton Portis myself. Costumes aside, he's an absolute beast. He's a better blocker than any featured back in the league (Edge included) and if the Redskins throw a pick, odds are Clinton's going try to send the interceptor to the hospital. Jason Campbell is also playing quite nicely and my Skins are miraculously winning at the half. Now it's time for Gibbs to install his patented "sit on the lead and call a bunch of timeouts in the third quarter" offense.
Update: TO just scored. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Dallas 14 - Washington 10
• Wacky field goal shenanigans. Horse Balls Anderson wasn't his usual Hall of Fame self but Celeveland had just enough mojo to knock off Baltimore 33-30 in overtime. Did Baltimore really score 30 points? Wow, must have been one of those rare games with ten field goals.
• Unleashing the Dragon! Rextasy has been "managing the game" which means that it's only a matter of time before he spreads his seed all over Seattle's supple defense. Cedric Benson is playing pretty well, just to keep people on their toes. Chicago 17 - Seattle 17
Update: Seattle starts the half with a 49 yard touchdown drive. Seattle 24 Chicago 17
• Upset watch. Somehow the Steelers are actually tied with the Jets. The NFL is a lot like Ben Roethlisberger, big, unwieldy, and difficult to understand. New York 13 - Pittsburgh 13

She showed amazing stamina and kept her sense of good humor until the end. She will be sorely missed by family and friends and our consolation is that she is now in a better place. Funeral services will be held at the end of this week. We should be able to gradually return to normal website operations starting next week. Thanks to everyone who showed their understanding and patience during this difficult period.

Kim Kardashian + Kanye West Might Marry Sooner Than You Think
Kim Kardashian confirmed that she and Kanye West would be getting married in Paris this year. She did not confirm the exact date -- she only said "summer"-- but it appears that they have bumped their plans to wed to sooner than we thought.
Reports suggested that Kimye would swap vows in July, but the pair has reportedly pushed the date to May.
A source told Us Weekly that the duo's daughter North, who will turn 1 in June, will factor into the ceremony prominently.
"North will have a large role in the wedding," an insider shared. Hello, flower girl!
Kim and Kanye are also putting together a program of "lots of events leading up to the big day" so guests who travel all the way to the City of Light will enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Given her 2011 debacle (the televised wedding and 72-day marriage to baller Kris Humphries), Kim is understandably desirous of a small affair. But Yeezy is said to have taken the lead on the nuptials. The bride is only planning one dress change. We definitely look forward to the gown, that's for sure.

Recently, I was elected as the President of the New Mexico Genealogical Society. I took over the position on 1 January 2008. Since I have new responsibilities, I won't be posting quite as many articles on this blog as before. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop - just that I am going to slow down a little bit.
The good thing about being president is that I am now more focused about publishing my genealogy. Therefore, I will be submitting articles to the New Mexico Genealogist and other journals soon. In fact, I already submitted an article to the journal for the March 2008 issue.
Check this blog for news about my articles. I will continue posting research that I am working on. In fact, much of what is in my first article can be found on this blog.

One of the questions I get asked most often is: How do you find a good mechanic? After all, I spend a lot of time talking about things that can go wrong when you hire a bad one. The answer is actually quite simple.
Even so, it takes a whole podcast to flesh out. You see, the answer is to ask around. And this is true in many fields of human endeavor. Want a good CPA or a good car salesperson? Again, ask around and get a referral.
To make sure the lesson is clear, I give some examples. How I found my mechanic, and how I stepped in to salvage a case when someone didn't follow my advice, among others.
So, here is the audio:

We demand the following from Governor Rick Scott and the Army Corps of Engineers:
*Gov. Rick Scott needs to take action to fund the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute for studying the river.
*Stop polluted discharges from Lake Okeechobee by creating a system in which polluted water can be filtered.
*Regulate the amount of pesticides that can be used in "Big Sugar" plantations.
*Army Corps of Engineers needs to alert all inhabitants of the community and surrounding communities whenever discharges and made.

This petition closed almost 6 years ago

Imagine this: You have been born and raised on the Indian River Lagoon. Your life and/or business focuses on the vivacious marine environment of the dolphins, turtles, manatees, fish, and other inhabitants of the river. However, the Lagoon you knew as a child has been slowly dying because of poor decisions by political figures. You not only see the color of the water change from crystal clear to murky brown, but you see dead manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles that have been washing up on shore because of the toxicity of the water. Your children will never be able to experience the same life changing adventures you once took as a child.
We want to change that.
Successful petitioning for funding for the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute would start a series of studies on the river and the dead bodies (dolphins, manatees, pelicans, etc.) that are being found. The Indian River Lagoon is a "killing zone" for these animals because of the polluted discharges coming from Lake Okeechobee that contain up to 1.8 billion gallons/day of fresh water that contain pesticides, fertilizers, and other hazardous wastes killing our marine life. Making Gov. Rick Scott aware that we, his constituents, care about the quality of the environment around us would greatly increase the chances of action on his part.

Emission Control
The future of the automobile hinges largely on efficient techniques for reducing emissions. This is a function that the catalytic converter cannot perform all by itself. With its acknowledged competence in every aspect of the engine and over 30 years of experience in series production, Pierburg manufactures secondary air systems, exhaust gas recirculation systems as well as exhaust flaps all designed to satisfy present and future emission requirements.
Back at the start of the 90s, Pierburg had developed a secondary air system for effective after-treatment of the exhaust gases. This was necessary in view of the growing gap between untreated emissions and stipulated limits.
The secondary air assists the catalytic converter during the engine's warm-up phase since immediately after cold start, the converter fails to achieve any purifying effect. Only at a light-off temperature in the range of 300 to 350 °C does the converter come into operation.
Injecting secondary air into the exhaust gas manifold gives rise to exothermal oxidation of the unburned carbons and carbon monoxides. The heat released in the process allows the converter to reach its operating temperature more readily.
The secondary blower has a radial design or is built after the side channel principle and is driven by a DC motor. The engine compartment is sealed off with respect to the pump unit in order to protect the motor from the aggressive exhaust gas condensate while assuring, at the same time, low-noise operation.
With its variety of secondary air valves, pneumatically or electrically operated, with and without pressure sensor, Pierburg provides optimum systems for future applications, too.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR): one more method of reducing emissions and CO2
In order to be able to comply with future emission limits, stiff requirements are applied to Diesel engine systems. The tight tolerances call for a closed-circuit EGR system. Depending on the type of internal combustion engine, position or airflow control is employed.
The effect of exhaust gas recirculation is based on a lowering of combustion temperature on diesel and gas engines. The lower temperature leads to a reduction in nitrogen oxides. On gas engines, this also brings about a dethrottling of the engine under part-load conditions and hence fuel consumption reduction.
In particular it is tomorrow's highly charged gasoline engines with a high compression ratio that allows significant fuel savings albeit they do tend toward increased knock proneness. An externally cooled EGR unit prevents uncontrolled combustion while raising the possibility of lowering fuel consumption.
Available is a wide variety of EGR valves: rugged pneumatic valves with modulation of the open control pressure to electric motor-controlled valves which combine high actuating forces, very precise control and favorable dynamic properties.
EGR valves, EGR cooler modules and EGR valves control the pressure difference for a further significant abatement in nitrogen oxides. An intelligent integration of all the EGR components such as valves, flaps, bypass devices, coolers and lines results in a cost-effective solution with extended service life.

HORTUS IBA WATER SOLUBLE SALTS make KIBA rooting solutions (alcohol free)
Welcome to Hortus USA's Plant Propagation from Cuttings
Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts make K-IBA Rooting Solutions
Single & Multiple Solution Applications
Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts
On-Line Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts Calculator:
Growers want to produce new plants which are exactly like the mother plants that are found in the home, garden, nursery or greenhouse. To produce a plant which is genetically identical to the mother plant clonal (vegetative ) propagation is needed. Propagation by the rooting of cuttings (adventitious root formation), root cuttings and division, stooling, layering, grafting and budding, and similar techniques can produce the desired clonal results. The selection of the method is dependant upon the plant variety. Propagation from seed while suitable for many plants, especially annual plants, often produce variable results. In-vitro propagation, a relatively new technique, requires specialized equipment and many times does not produce new plants as expected.
Plants propagated from cuttings have the same characteristics as the parent plant. The rapid generation of new adventitious roots is necessary for the plant to transport water and essential nutrients from the media. Rhizopon AA #1, #2 and #3, and Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts rooting hormone treatment helps the plant to rapidly develop new roots when propagating from cuttings.
The most attractive plant is a symmetric plant. Using Rhizopon AA #1, #2 and #3, and Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts root stimulation takes place all around the basal end of the cuttings. Rhizopon AA and Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts products have unique formulas which induce uniform absorption of the active ingredients. After early and symmetric root formation the plant stands solid in the soil, it absorbs water and nutrients, develops uniform shoot, stem and leaf growth and superior total growth.

The Rhizopon bv and Hortus USA Story
In the 1930's Dutch scientists unlocked Nature's Secret to plant growth regulation of roots. They developed products and techniques that promote rooting of cuttings and increased root mass. Today the manufacturer, Rhizopon b.v. is the world's largest and oldest company solely devoted to rooting products and technology. Rhizopon and Hortus USA do plant research at their facilities in New York City, Hazerswoude, Holland, and leading research facilities including the University of Arkansas USA and the Dr. W. Kruipt Institute, Hekendorp Holland.
• How to use Rhizopon AA #1, #2 and 3 dry powder rooting hormones
• How to use Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts
• Time of year considerations
• The need to use root promoting hormones
For adventitious rooting, all plants need plant growth regulator rooting hormones in order to produce roots on cuttings. To some extent these regulators are produced by the plant itself. Cuttings from different plant varieties and species have different ability to root. Some cuttings root easily, some are difficult to root, and some plants can not produce roots from cuttings. Rhizopon AA #1, #2 and #3, and Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts rooting hormones act with the plants own natural rooting regulators to aid root formation. The concentration of the induced regulator hormone should be adequate to induce root development and below the threshold to inhibit growth. Successful root formation helps the cutting to take up water and nutrient substances faster.
The Methods:
Take cuttings at the proper time from carefully selected stock plants.

These days, hummus is a commonplace food at restaurants, in cookbooks, and in the blogosphere. But I say, "So what?" Hummus is delicious, economical, easy-to-prepare, and has endless opportunity for variation. Additionally, hummus is wonderfully nutritious, a good source of fiber, protein, calcium, potassium, and iron. Thus, I provide you with yet another hummus recipe.
This is one of my most recent favorite ways to prepare it, spiked with garlic, lots of cumin, and paprika. Rather than using ground cumin, I include whole toasted cumin and sesame seeds for a nutty flavor. I think you'll like it a lot.
Serve it garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of cumin seeds, and a dusting of paprika. You'll love it with raw vegetables, crackers or breads, in collard leaf wraps, or on salads. Hummus also is a great base for creamy salad dressings and sauces!
If you choose to use canned beans instead of cooking your own, I recommend Eden Foods brand. In addition to being organic, Eden Foods beans are cooked with kombu for easier digestion and are packed in BPA-free cans. Yay! One other thing – make sure your garlic is very fresh and crisp. You don't want to use elderly garlic that is rubbery, soft, or browning, because it tastes bitter and acrid and will make your hummus taste funky.
• 1 Tbsp whole cumin seeds
• 1 Tbsp whole sesame seeds
• 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp sesame tahini
• juice of 1 large lemon
• 2 very fresh medium garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is great, but a sweet or hot paprika is good as well)
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1/4-3/4 cup bean cooking liquid, broth, or water
• salt, to taste
- Place cumin seeds and sesame seeds in a hot, dry saute pan over low heat. Stir occassionally, toasting until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Place beans, oil, tahini, lemon, paprika, and cayenne in a food processor or blender, along with 1/4 cup liquid. Process until a smooth paste starts to form, scraping sides often and adding additional liquid as necessary to reach desired consistency. Add cumin seeds and sesame seeds, as well as salt, processing again until fully combined.
- Serve, garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of cumin seeds, and a dusting of paprika. Excellent with raw vegetables, crackers or breads, in collard leaf wraps, or on salads. Hummus also is a great base for creamy salad dressings and sauces!
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days in a well-sealed container.

Epic Pakistani floods kill 422 and affects more than 4.7 million
September 29, 2012
PAKISTAN – Floods resulting from monsoon rains have killed 422 people and left nearly 3,000 injured across Pakistan, a disaster agency spokesman said Saturday. Some 350,000 people have been forced from their homes and another 4.7 million people affected by the flooding since August 22, Ahmed Kamal of the National Disaster Management Authority said. More than 15,000 villages have been affected and many houses destroyed or damaged in the past five weeks, he said. Pakistan has suffered a series of devastating inundations, affecting millions of people, in recent years. Flooding last year killed 470 people and impacted 9.1 million others, Kamal said. In the worst-affected area of Sindh province, in southeastern Pakistan, the waters submerged more than 4.5 million acres of farming land, damaging an estimated 80% of cash crops. Many in the country were at that point barely recovering from massive and deadly flooding in August 2010, which left a fifth of the country submerged by water, according to the National Disaster Management Authority. Those floods lasted for weeks, affecting more than 20 million people and leaving 1,985 people dead, Kamal said. Much of the land inundated in 2010 was in Punjab province, Pakistan's breadbasket, where many people live off the soil and their livestock. Great hardship followed for millions in the wake of the flooding. -CNN

Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Dr. and Mrs. L.H. Kahane
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
Born in Newfoundland, Maurice Cullen grew up and began his art training in Montreal. However, he spent much of his early painting career in Paris and eventually exhibited in the French Salon. He returned regularly to Canada, and through the summer and winter of 1896 he sketched and painted in Beaupré, near Quebec City, with William Brymner and James Wilson Morrice. Along with these artists, Cullen is recognized as one of the first Canadians to adopt an Impressionist style through the textural application of paint and the heightened suggestion of light and atmospheric effects. Cullen's Impressionism is also distinguished by the sense of immediacy and colour consistency of Wharf, Beaupré, indicating the work was likely painted to a large degree en plein air (outdoors), rather than in his studio.

Men for the Cure features address by Brian Griese
Men for the Cure had a winning formula right from the start: Good food, good company, good speaker, good cause. The tradition continued in the benefit's 11th year as 550 of the area's high-profile men gathered on the Club Level of Sports Authority Field at Mile High to raise about $170,000 for the Diane O'Connor Thompson Breast Center at University of Colorado Hospital.
Sharon Magness Blake and Ed Greene started Men for the Cure shortly after a friend's wife died from breast cancer, and they serve as co-chairs of the event that to date has raised a little over $1 million and continues to attract a Who's Who from Denver-area business, political and philanthropic circles.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and mayors Michael Hancock (Denver) and Ed Tauer (Aurora) were among those assembling on the Club Level at Sports Authority Field at Mile High to enjoy cocktails and a seafood buffet while bidding in silent auction heavy on sports memorabilia. Afterward, there was a grilled tenderloin dinner and remarks by retired quarterback Brian Griese, who lost his mother to breast cancer when Griese was just 12.
Griese started Judi's House in her memory; the nonprofit agency at 1741 Gaylord St. serves children and young adults coping with grief after the loss of a loved one. On Oct. 19, Griese became the first current or former National Football League player to receive the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Patterson Award for Excellence in Sports Philanthropy.
"Anybody who is anybody is here tonight," Hickenlooper observed. Hancock, who was attending his fifth Men for the Cure, praised Sharon Magness Blake for being such an important part of such an important cause. "What other gorgeous woman could bring together so many handsome men for such a good cause?" he asked.
Like many of the men present, the governor and the mayor wore the pink pearl bracelets that Sharon Magness Blake had commissioned Trice Jewelers to create in honor of Men for the Cure. The bracelets were for sale at Men for the Cure, which was held the day after her birthday.
"As a breast cancer survivor I can tell you why University Hospital is rated No. 1," she said as the crowd stood to sing "Happy Birthday" to her. "The care you receive there is second to none." Sharon and her husband, Ernie Blake, also were $20,000 Speaker's Circle sponsors of the event.
Hickenlooper and Tauer were honorary chairmen of Men for the Cure; others were Peter Coors, John Elway and University of Colorado Hospital president Bruce Schroffel. Schroffel's son, Jesse, helped mobilize young professionals to support the cause.
Other guests were Bob Beauprez; Walt DeHaven; Buz Koelbel; Paul Goss; Michael Pollak; Quinn Washington; Wil Alston; Dave Sogge; Bill Artist; Chris Comer; Josh Thiel; Thierry Kennel; Roger Hutson; Barry Hirschfeld; Andy Wann; Bill McCallum; Craig Fleishman; KC Veio; and Tre Urso.

I was at school today, during my spare at the cafeteria, and me a a few friends were talking, and the discussion got brought up about love.
One of my friends had a very strong argument about how there is no such thing as unconditional love, and in other words, all love is based on a certain condition.
Do you agree with this or disagree?

Grocery bills are rising through the roof. Food banks are running short of donations. And food shortages are causing sporadic riots in poor countries through the world.
You'd never know it if you saw what was ending up in your landfill. As it turns out, Americans waste an astounding amount of food an estimated 27 percent of the food available for consumption, according to a government study and it happens at the supermarket, in restaurants and cafeterias and in your very own kitchen. It works out to about a pound of food every day for every American.
Grocery stores discard products because of spoilage or minor cosmetic blemishes. Restaurants throw away what they don't use. And consumers toss out everything from bananas that have turned brown to last week's Chinese leftovers. In 1997, in one of the few studies of food waste, the Department of Agriculture estimated that two years before, 96.4 billion pounds of the 356 billion pounds of edible food in the United States was never eaten. Fresh produce, milk, grain products and sweeteners made up two-thirds of the waste. An update is under way.
The study didn't account for the explosion of ready-to-eat foods now available at supermarkets, from rotisserie chickens to sandwiches and soups. What do you think happens to that potato salad and meatloaf at the end of the day?
A more recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that Americans generate roughly 30 million tons of food waste each year, which is about 12 percent of the total waste stream. All but about 2 percent of that food waste ends up in landfills; by comparison, 62 percent of yard waste is composted.
The numbers seem all the more staggering now, given the cost of groceries and the emerging food crisis abroad.
After President Bush said recently that India's burgeoning middle class was helping to push up food prices by demanding better food, officials in India complained that not only do Americans eat too much if they slimmed down to the weight of middle-class Indians, said one, "many people in sub-Saharan Africa would find food on their plate" but they also throw out too much food.
And consider this: the rotting food that ends up in landfills produces methane, a major source of greenhouse gases.
America's Second Harvest The Nation's Food Bank Network, a group of more than 200 food banks, reports that donations of food are down 9 percent, but the number of people showing up for food has increased 20 percent. The group distributes more than two billion pounds of donated and recovered food and consumer products each year.
The problem isn't unique to the United States.
In England, a recent study revealed that Britons toss away a third of the food they purchase, including more than four million whole apples, 1.2 million sausages and 2.8 million tomatoes. In Sweden, families with small children threw out about a quarter of the food they bought, a recent study there found.
And most distressing, perhaps, is that in some parts of Africa a quarter or more of the crops go bad before they can be eaten. A study presented last week to the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development found that the high losses in developing nations "are mainly due to a lack of technology and infrastructure" as well as insect infestations, microbial growth, damage and high temperatures and humidity.
For decades, wasting food has fallen into the category of things that everyone knows is a bad idea but that few do anything about, sort of like speeding and reapplying sunscreen. Didn't your mother tell you to eat all the food on your plate?
Food has long been relatively cheap, and portions were increasingly huge. With so much news about how fat everyone was getting 66 percent of adult Americans are overweight or obese, according to 2003-04 government health survey there was a compelling argument to be made that it was better to toss the leftover deep-dish pizza than eat it again the next day.
For cafeterias, restaurants and supermarkets, it was just as easy to toss food that wasn't sold into trash bins than to worry about somebody getting sick from it. And then filing a lawsuit.
"The path of least resistance is just to chuck it," said Jonathan Bloom, who started a blog last year called wastedfood.com that tracks the issue.
Of course, eliminating food waste won't solve the problems of world hunger and greenhouse-gas pollution. But it could make a dent in this country and wouldn't require a huge amount of effort or money. The Department of Agriculture estimated that recovering just 5 percent of the food that is wasted could feed four million people a day; recovering 25 percent would feed 20 million people.
The Department of Agriculture said it was updating its figures on food waste and officials there weren't yet able to say if the problem has gotten better or worse.
In many major cities, including New York, food rescue organizations do nearly all the work for cafeterias and restaurants that are willing to participate. The food generally needs to be covered and in some cases placed in a freezer. Food rescue groups pick it up. One of them, City Harvest, collects excess food each day from about 170 establishments in New York.
"We're not talking about table scraps," said Joel Berg, executive director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, explaining the types of wasted food that is edible. "We're talking about a pan of lasagna that was never served."
For food that isn't edible, a growing number of states and cities are offering programs to donate it to livestock farmers or to compost it. In Massachusetts, for instance, the state worked with the grocery industry to create a program to set aside for composting food that can't be used by food banks.
"The great part about this is grocers save money on their garbage bill and they contribute a product to composting," said Kate M. Krebs, executive director of the National Recycling Coalition, who calls the wasting of food "the most wrenching issue of our day."
The City of San Francisco is turning food waste from residents and restaurants into tons of compost a day. The city has structured its garbage collection system so that it provides incentives for recycling and composting.
There are also efforts to cut down on the amount of food that people pile on their plates. A handful of restaurant chains including T.G.I. Friday's are offering smaller portions. And a growing number of college cafeterias have eliminated trays, meaning students have to carry their food to a table rather than loading up a tray.
"It's sort of one of the ideas you read about and think, 'Why didn't I think of that?' " Mr. Bloom said.
The federal government tried once before, during the Clinton administration, to get the nation fired up about food waste, but the effort was discontinued by the Bush administration. The secretary of agriculture at the time, Dan Glickman, created a program to encourage food recovery and gleaning, which means collecting leftover crops from farm fields.
He assigned a member of his staff, Mr. Berg, to oversee the program, and Mr. Berg spent the next several years encouraging farmers, schools, hospitals and companies to donate extra crops and food to feeding charities. A Good Samaritan law was passed by Congress that protected food donors from liability for donating food and groceries, spurring more donations.
"We made a dent," said Mr. Berg, now at the New York City hunger group. "We reduced waste and increased the amount of people being fed. It wasn't a panacea, but it helped."
With the current food crisis, it seems possible that the issue of food waste might have more traction this time around.
Mr. Bloom said he was encouraged by the increasing Web chatter about saving money on food, something that used to be confined to the "frugal mommy blogs."
"The fundamental thing that I'm fighting against is, 'why should I care? I paid for it,' " Mr. Bloom said. "The rising prices are really an answer to that."

Wall Street backlash for Twitter
Twitter suffered a backlash on Wall Street after its first set of results as a public company raised fears that its explosive growth of recent years is slowing down.
The micro-blogging website ended the quarter to December 31 with 241 million monthly users, a rise of 30% on a year earlier but down on some expectations.
The San Francisco-based company's addition of nine million new monthly users was also a slowdown from the previous three quarters, when it was adding an average of 16 million new accounts each quarter.
Its shares dipped by as much as 12% in after-hours trading on Wednesday night, even though its revenues more than doubled to a bigger-than-expected 243 million US dollars (£149 million) in the October to December quarter.
Losses of 511 million US dollars (£313.2 million) for the period compared with 8.7 million US dollars a year earlier.
Twitter shares began trading on Wall Street in November with an initial price of 26 US dollars and have more than doubled in value since then.
It has led to concerns that the stock is expensive compared with similar stocks such as Facebook and LinkedIn, although analysts continue to back Twitter's business model and long-term prospects.
Chief executive Dick Costolo said the site would only get better as it attempts to make it easier for people to start using the service.
He said: " Twitter finished a great year with our strongest financial quarter to date.
"We are the only platform that is public, real-time, conversational and widely distributed and I'm excited by the number of initiatives we have under way to further build upon the Twitter experience."
Twitter's public debut on the stock exchange was the most highly anticipated since that of Facebook in May 2012.
The company was launched seven years ago and last year named the UK as its biggest market outside America.
However one of the major challenges facing Twitter is to generate more revenues from outside America. While more than 75% of users are outside the US, just 26% of its revenue comes from abroad.
Dr Sotirios Paroutis, Warwick Business School associate professor of strategic management, said the market believed that Twitter needs to do better.
He said: "Inevitably, the market is evaluating Twitter not in isolation but in relation to Facebook, which posted record quarterly results a few days ago.
"In other words, while Twitter is doing well, it needs to do better - and faster - to keep its advertisers, users and investors interested - or as its chief executive admitted during the call to investors, 'we simply need to make Twitter a better Twitter'."
Patrick Salyer, chief executive of Gigya, a company that works with brands to help them understand their customers through social media, said the results show a change in the way people engage with "news-led issues".
He said: "While Twitter's revenue performance highlights the rather simplistic notion that social media sites are still quite popular, it also shows a fascinating shift in the public's interest in engaging with news-led issues.
"Twitter is arguably the most effective network for sharing news stories and having conversations with other users and celebrities around specific topics and this is a phenomenon that is fuelling user subscriptions to the site.
"Our own research shows that in Europe, 45% of social media users share content using Twitter with Facebook very narrowly ahead on 47%. The research, along with Twitter's growing global user base and revenues, demonstrates that the ways people now share content via social media is changing and it's getting more sophisticated.
"Social media is no longer just about sharing photos of your pets with a select group of friends, it's evolving into a truly global form of communication, with users determined to ensure their voice is heard."

Robin Hood actions say 'No to Cuts, Tax Wall Street to Spark Recovery'
Outside the district office of Rep. Charles Rangel, Robin Hood Tax Campaigners from National Nurses United (NNU) and Health GAP found an engaged audience today. These residents of New York's Harlem are wondering when the recovery will arrive.
Their neighborhoods are a mix of shuttered brownstones and half-empty condos, a sign of the realty speculation that somehow, someway never brought decent, affordable housing to Manhattan's northern-most community.
It was one of four national Robin Hood actions today repeating the call for a different approach to addressing the economy, with a renewed call for a Robin Hood tax on Wall Street speculation to increase revenues, not more punishing austerity cuts, especially to the vital programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Robin Hood activists at New York office of Rep. Charles Rangel
The spirit of speculation lives on in the trading floors and conference rooms of Wall Street. Financialization, as opposed to a productive economy, is the model being sold, even after the collapse of financial markets in 2008.
The bailout of these "too-big-to-fail" financial institutions ran up a bill in the trillions, much of it paid from federal tax coffers. That money needs to be returned to places like Harlem—for jobs, rebuilding, decent retirement, good schools and clean environment.
That is what the Robin Hood Tax is all about. It is embodied in Rep. Keith Ellison's Inclusive Prosperity Act, H.R. 6411, and the RHT Campaign made visits to Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, in addition to Rangel's offices, to get pledges of support.
"The Robin Hood Tax would provide us with the resources we need to end the AIDS pandemic and fight back against climate change," said Michael Tikili of Health GAP. "With disasters like Hurricane Sandy looming, we can no longer look to spending cuts to fix our financial crisis. We need a Robin Hood Tax to give us the revenue we need to end AIDS and fight climate change now."
Like their last visit to Mr. Rangel, RNs and Health GAP members sought an audience inside the congressman's office. No go. "So we bargained with them to send someone down," explained Jonathan Weitz of NNU.
Special Assistant Isiah Horton spoke for 20 minutes, in the end explaining Mr. Rangel had spoken with Rep. Ellison and that he still had concerns on how the bill would supposedly affect pensions.
"The RNs immediately fired back that the law would have a minimal or no effect, would raise up to $350 billion a year for healthcare, education and jobs." The Ellison bill in fact for the most part taxes the brokers who make the trade and exempts households with incomes below $75,000 per year.
Across the coast, in Los Angeles, some four dozen nurses and activists rallied outside the district office of Rep. Xavier Becerra.
Some were invited in to meet with Liz Saldivar, district director, who continued to hedge on the bill and said he'd like to see more sponsors of the bill. It already has 18 co-sponsors, a good number for a bill that was only introduced a few weeks ago.
Nurses, activists outside Los Angeles office of Rep. Xavier Becerra.
Dozens more gathered outside the San Francisco district office of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who earlier today announced plans to run for another term as House Minority Leader.

Pelosi's district director Dan Bernal dismissively told the RNs they had a "90 seconds" to talk to him.
Sherri Stoddard, RN (left) told him they were calling on Pelosi to be a leader and support the bill.

The Robin Hood Tax Campaign was also saying at the actions that cuts to essential services – Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the food stamp program – must not be carried out.
"This country has vast wealth but poor priorities," said Jean Ross, RN and co-president of National Nurses United, one the founding organizations of the Robin Hood Tax Campaign. "Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Food Stamp program are the economic bedrock of vast numbers of American families. To reduce these in any way is to do serious harm and lead to more poverty. We, as nurses, shudder at the thought of more harm to Americans. Don't do it."
In a meeting with leaders of labor and liberal advocacy groups Tuesday, the President pledged he was not going to "budge" on opposing extension of the Bush tax cuts for the rich, and "seemed to agree that Social Security" should not be part of any grand bargain because it "didn't add to the deficit."
Yet, the President's press secretary afterwards told reporters that the President "has put forward a very specific plan that will be what he brings to the table when he sits down with Congressional leaders." That $4 trillion, 10-year plan includes the commitment to $1.1 trillion in spending cuts that agreed to during the debt ceiling negotiations last year as well as additional spending cuts that include $340 billion in savings from Medicare and Medicaid, the New York Times reported.
Further, in his press conference today, President Obama twice cited his support for "entitlement changes" as part of a fiscal cliff deal.
Robin Hood and company have a different message:
Austerity has no place in America. It will have the same affects these draconian cuts have had in Europe: demise, poverty and no growth.
Don't the Europeans know it. Millions hit the streets today to protest spending cuts they say have made the economic crisis worse. General strikes were held in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italty, with major strikes in France and Belgium and labor actions in cities across the continent. Flights were cancelled, car factories and ports were at a standstill and trains barely ran in Spain and Portugal where unions held their first ever coordinated general strike.

PC850 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 31 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Please read the more extensive briefing
Romneya Grup
Desired Color Scheme:
Open for suggestions
Accepted File Formats:
Company name: ROMNEYA Grup SRL (FYI, this means to ROMNEYA Group Inc. in English)
Activities: software development and management consultancy
Background information on the company name: I selected ROMNEYA because it sounds like "Romania". Under Romanian law applying for a company name with 'Romania" in it (i.e. Unilever Romania) can take up to six months and is pretty costly.
The ROMNEYA is actually a flower that can be found in the US.
More information:
* http://www.laspilitas.com/plants/587.htm
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilija_poppy
The requirements for the design:
1) The company is active in Romania, so the design *can* include the nation's colors (red, yellow, blue) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania
2) The Romneya (the flower) is white and yellow. Can we include these?
3) He/she can include a flower like design, but we don't want people to think that we grow flowers ;-)
4) The main activity of the company is management & IT services
5) The design has to be optimized for web display
6) In the future we might want to use the same design but change part of the name for other companies: i.e. ROMNEYA Telecom SRL, so the design can be rectangular: logo with larger type Romneya, below Romneya Grup SRL
7) Alternative ideas for logos have 'people' in them. IT and PM is a people's business after all.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Web Page Design (Coded)

The more observant amongst you probably noticed a lack of new content here…apparently, I can't bring myself to post about my "linux adventures anymore". As far as I can see, there are three reasons for that.
The most important reason is that I'm just no longer in that place where I have to try and test everything. Used to be I tried every distribution there was, with every possible window manager. Somehow, it's not as fun as it used to be, but also, I think I have tried them all, and there not much news under the sun. GNOME is gently pushing forward to 3..0, but it's not here yet, KDE seems to have found it's groove, XFCE is moving, but at glacial pace as always, and I'm really not sure if anything's happening with the other window managers. It does feel like there nothing much left to try, at least for a while. I've used Linux Mint 9 for a long while, and recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 to try it out…I'm hugely impressed how good and easy this is, and I'm not tinkering with it at all. Even the wallpaper is one of the standard slideshows.
Secondly, Windows playing a bigger part in my life again. Not so much by choice, but I am using it at work and I'm trying to get an MS certificate, so I spend a lot of time in Windows 7. When I take a break studying, I play some Starcraft 2. My PC barely manages it in Windows, and it lags horribly in wine, so using linux there is out too.
And thirdly, I'm getting a bit tired of the open source community. In fact, I'm getting a bit tired of any vocal community on the net. There are so many whiners around, it's unbelievable. Seems like half of the articles linked on tuxmachines explain why Ubuntu sucks, another quarter explains why everything else sucks too, and the final quarter just bitches that the year of the linux desktop will never come. The few comments my old posts here get are all in the same vein. Like I said, this isn't restricted to this community…the net has indeed given everyone a voice, and sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing 🙂
Anyway, this will be the last post for a while. If I suddenly start tinkering again, the results will be posted here. Peace out.

The College departments and programs represent the liberal arts core of the University, ranging from the fine arts, the humanities, certain social sciences, journalism and mass communications, the natural and physical sciences, computer science, and mathematics.
The College
The College is the heart of the W&L liberal arts education. It is the home of twenty-one departments, four interdepartmental majors, and seven interdepartmental programs. Students may earn either the B.A. or B.S. degree in thirty-seven different majors, and may also pursue one or more of twenty-nine minors, including Creative Writing, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Museum Studies, Film and Visual Culture, Poverty Studies, or one of five new minors in Biology (Animal Biology, Ecology, Molecular Cell Biology, Physiology, and Quantitative Biology).
The more than 140 faculty members in the College, in departments ranging from Music to Geology to Religion, are dedicated to nurturing the intellectual capacity and curiosity of our students in an environment of collaborative inquiry. All first-year students are members of the College, and typically take a range of courses in the liberal arts in preparation for selecting a major course of study.
As expressed in the College's Mission Statement, the hallmarks of a person educated in the College include:
- A resourceful intellect and talent for independent thinking
- The capacity to evaluate information critically and to convey it effectively
- Competence in many methods of defining, approaching and solving problems
- A lively curiosity about and mature respect for varied cultures and intellectual perspectives
- A lifelong commitment to learning, to health and well-being, and to the values that inform a W&L education.
Please explore these pages to see the full range of academic opportunities available to current and prospective W&L students. Parents, alumni, faculty, and staff will also find a wealth of information about College programs, policies and resources. All of us in the Office of the Dean of the College are always ready to assist you.
