UKIP, UK Independence Party
12/19/12, "TRADITIONAL TORIES ARE DEFECTING TO UKIP IN DROVES," UK Express, O'Flynn
"Creating a successful new party in the British
political system is fearsomely hard. Not even the combined talents and
contacts books of Roy Jenkins, David Owen and Shirley Williams could in
the end achieve lift off for the SDP in the Eighties.
So it is
perhaps no wonder that the political class has been very slow to take
seriously the rise of a still small right-of centre party that has been
routinely written off as peopled by cranks and gadflies, fruitcakes and
"closet racists".
But we have now reached a point where not even
the most complacent member of the British Establishment can ignore the
rise of Ukip. Three separate opinion polls on Sunday put it on a 14 per
cent vote share. More polls yesterday confirmed that it is in double
figure territory. This does not mean it is yet on course to win a slew
of seats at the next general election – though that is no longer an
unthinkable scenario – but it does mean it is taking millions of voters
from the Westminster parties.
Were the voters flocking to Ukip's
banner coming in roughly equal number from the Conservatives and Labour,
then the leaderships of those parties could afford to regard it as an
embarrassment rather than an existential threat. But detailed new
polling shows Ukip is attracting approximately a dozen people who voted
Tory in 2010 for every one who voted Labour.
If this trend continues David Cameron can forget about winning the next general election.
The party's rapid progress has been a team effort. It is full of people
who believe profoundly in its values and work like Trojans on its
behalf. But two men in particular can take the lion's share of the
credit for the quadrupling of its support.
The first is its
leader Nigel Farage – a straight-talking ball of energy with real-world
experience who has been shown to be bang on the money about the failings
of the European Union. Mr Farage's speeches at the European Parliament,
during which he lays waste to the reputations of EU eminences such as
Herman Van Rompuy, have become internet sensations.
By banning
anyone who has previously belonged to the BNP or any other racist party
from joining Ukip, Mr Farage has also removed the ability of the
political Establishment to associate it with the Far Right in the eyes
of public opinion.
That battle was decisively won last month when
fairminded people of many political persuasions turned on Rotherham
social services for arguing that Ukip members should not foster children
from mainland Europe.
You may find the identity of the second man who has helped Ukip move
from a three per cent party to a 12 or 14 per cent party more
surprising: it is David Cameron himself.
From the moment he leapt into
coalition with the pro-immigration, pro-EU Nick Clegg, Mr Cameron began
to alienate traditional Conservative supporters.
The baleful influence of the Lib Dems can be detected in almost every nook and cranny of Government policy.
The appointment in 2010 of Ken Clarke as Justice Secretary heralded the start of two years of soft law and order policies.
Equally, there has been no decisive break from the meddling of the European Court of Human Rights.
more has been thrown into the foreign aid money pit too, despite major
cuts being imposed upon our armed services. Energy bills have been
allowed to soar, in part to raise funds for fashionable green
initiatives of dubious value.
And while immigration has been reduced, that reduction has proceeded at snail's pace.
the insistence of the Lib Dems, non-contributory benefits were last
year uprated by 5.2 per cent – far ahead of pay rises for working
Above all, the Government has let down Conservative
supporters on the European Union, with Mr Cameron continually fending
off demands for an In/Out referendum. By the end of 2013 when all
controls on Romanian and Bulgarian immigration into Britain will be
removed at the behest of Brussels, the two great issues of Europe and
immigration will become one.
Mr Cameron has presented himself as the Better Off In leader of what is
now largely a Better Off Out party. So it is hardly surprising that the
alternative offered by Mr Farage has been so appealing to so many.
a long time many Conservatives who were deeply disappointed by Mr
Cameron gave him the benefit of the doubt, understanding that he had
been given a difficult political hand to play.
But a few weeks
ago he managed even to alienate a substantial portion of these
sympathisers by picking an entirely unnecessary fight about gay
marriage. Not only did this remind long-suffering Conservatives about
the last entirely unnecessary row he picked with them (about grammar
schools), but it also transmitted a more damaging signal: that David
Cameron holds their views in contempt. The most recent boost Ukip has
received – around four points in the polls during the last month – is
surely a direct result.
All of these actions by Mr Cameron were
underpinned by an assumption he may finally be understanding is
incorrect: that traditional Tories have nowhere else to go. They do.
a lot of them have already gone. And the centre-ground "progressives"
his advisers told him would be won over by more foreign aid and gay
rights have failed to show up to replace them. Can Cameron win back the
traditionalists by 2015?
Some, perhaps. But some won't be good enough."

Traditional Tories defecting to new UKIP (UK Independence Party) in droves, millions of voters joining, British Establishment can no longer ignore

There's a new soda pop on the market.
And it's called Coke Bleech!
As in kinda nasty.
As in overpriced.
As in don't bother.
Actually, it's not that bad. Like coke with some weird vanilla latte flavoring added to it. Which also makes it kinda nasty.
But at least it comes in a glass bottle.
An 8z glass bottle that costs you more than a dollar each.
It was worth it to try once. I seriously doubt I will ever spend money on Bleech again.

They Tried to Make Me Go to Rehab and Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
You know what doesn't survive a PhD?
What won't survive alcoholism?
What won't survive an out of control child?
What won't survive a plague of trauma unexamined?
A marriage. That's what.
I'm going to live tweet, live blog, live live the revolution of my heart. Where I learn to love myself and put the needs of my child and my soul and my body and my ambitions before anything or anyone else. It's not their fault. I readily give others these permissions to expect things from me and there's just no consent on what I expect in return. And now, here we are. The proverbial house on sinking sand.
It's sad. I'm sad. Relationship loss and grief is every bit as awful as death. Maybe more so. But sobriety is life. It's the only thing keeping me alive.
And if you don't want to hear about that because I'm not amending the constitution of my life in the timeline you have determined, well, then that's all right. I'll still be moving on my own pace. I get that I have been undeniably, brutally, in many cases unforgivably, selfish in the past. I have so much guilt and shame about that, things I can never undo. But I will not be made to feel guilt for working through and toward sobriety at a speed dictated by anyone other than myself and the Universe.
I said yes, yes, yes. This is the outcome of that.
Puppy Manslaughter
I just had the horrifying experience of killing someone's pet. A tiny chihuahua standing in the middle of Gloster Rd. Those of you who have been to my home know the one. It's busy and barely safe to walk on for humans.
I didn't see it until it was too late. I'm distraught, the owner comes and scoops up the poor puppy corpse and just repeats, "It's okay. It's okay."
Which of course it's not.
All I can say is I'm sorry. I'm sorry over and over, tears streaming down my face.
No collar, no leash…actually comes with his other tiny dog without either and that dog almost runs in the road too. While a car passes illegally on a double yellow line.
I feel so terrible and really angry.
Protect your pets, people. That's what you sign up for when you adopt one.
Wow, it's cold out there. I was shaking and stumbling around in the dark, straining my neck to look up while simultaneously attempting not to break my ankle. My hands were shaking inside my front pouch. I put my hood up and tied my hair around front. It's just too damned cold out there.
It takes forever for my eyes to adjust to the night sky. My grandparents have every light on in Bob's creation upstairs so I'm straining and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. Out of the corner of my eye I see this flicker, sort of looks like someone lit the tiniest match in the Universe and it burned out right away.
I think that's what I was looking for. I saw one and then two. Then I got too cold and came back in. Then back out. I felt like if I didn't go out, I'd be missing something special and so, yeah, back out.
They really just fall straight down, you know?
I'll never, ever be as eloquent as Carl Sagan, but looking at these itty streaks of flame on a back drop of fire and ice and violence and beauty and everything we don't know in the form of the smallest sliver of light pricking that big black canvas from so very far away…it really does make you feel small.
"I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever… A vision… of the universe, that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how… rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves, that we are *not*, that none of us are alone! I wish… I… could share that… I wish, that everyone, if only for one… moment, could feel… that awe, and humility, and hope. But… That continues to be my wish." Contact
I hope…

The Texas Motor Speedway Media Relations Department is located on the 6th floor of The Speedway Club outside of Turn 1 of the speedway.
In keeping with the "All Things Junior" theme at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, Chevrolet will begin paying tribute to the popular member of Team Chevy during Sunday's AAA Texas 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race.
Chevrolet will debut a TV spot celebrating the major milestones in Earnhardt Jr.'s professional racing career during the NBC Sports Network broadcast that begins at 1 p.m. CT.
The 30-second spot entitled "What a Ride" features a collage of memories from Earnhardt Jr.'s career -including never-seen-before photos - and footage from defining moments like his two Daytona 500 victories and 26 Cup Series race wins.
"We have been so fortunate to have Dale Earnhardt Jr. as part of the Chevrolet family," said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. "His 'Never Give Up' attitude and true passion for performance are the same qualities that drove Louis Chevrolet to race more than 100 years ago, and still drive us today to innovate and win."
During his retirement announcement earlier this year, Junior re-affirmed his loyalty to the General Motors brand. "It's an honor to carry the Chevrolet Bowtie on my cars," Junior said. "And I don't just mean that on the race track - I'm Chevrolet for life."
The new TV spot will air for the first time during NBCSN's broadcast of the 334-lap/501-mile event in Fort Worth, and continue to be shown through NASCAR's year-end championship banquet celebration in Las Vegas.

June 6, 2014 – – Milwaukee, Wisconsin – – Last night, Dan Adams participated in the East Side Neighborhood Associations Forum, moderated by Urban Milwaukee editor Bruce Murphy.
Four candidates running in the Democratic primary election in the 19th Assembly District on August 12 answered questions on topics including education, property taxes and public transportation. Although the candidates agreed on some issues, Adams demonstrated the bold leadership style that he plans to bring to the State Legislature.
One observer, former communications director for Mayor John Norquist, Steve Filmanowicz, offered the following comment on the forum:
"I really appreciated Dan's stance in favor of more good schools in Milwaukee, however they are funded. Of the candidates at the forum, he seemed most focused on ensuring that we city parents have attractive options for educating our school-age children right here and right now."

Just the essentials.
Layered up or by itself, the Arc'teryx Atom LT Jacket is a packable staple piece for every season. Wear it alone on mild days in the spring, summer, and fall while you climb, hike, or backpack. When winter hits, layer it under a shell when you ski, snowboard, or ice climb. Articulated elbows and underarm gussets give your arms free range of motion whether you're dancing in the firelight or fighting for the final pitch.
When worn alone, the water-resistant, DWR treated Tyono face fabric maintains a balance of wind protection and air permeability so you are protected from the elements without over-heating. Coreloft insulation keeps you warm, even if it gets wet. Deliberate design puts the insulation where it matters most: your core, arms, and shoulders. Along the jacket's sides and under your arms, you'll find Polartec Power Stretch with Hardface technology. This four-way stretch fabric accommodates your every move, and Hardface technology ups the ante on abrasion resistance. The non-insulated panels also help the jacket breathe so you don't become the steaming carne asada inside a toasty synthetic insulation burrito.
- Every season jacket for any and all outdoor adventures
- DWR treated face fabric is water and wind resistant

Another gem from Arc'teryx
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought this jacket for my sister and she loves its warmth especially since it doesn't wet out like down jackets. She wears it most days of the winter and occasionally in the spring and fall. It's the perfect weight and easy to wash and care for. She's 5'3" and 115 lbs and went with the small.
Go to Jacket for Fall and Spring!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
Bought for my wife, here is her feedback "I love this jacket. I love everything in the Atom LT line, but the jacket is amazing for every day wear, in Virginia...February through May, New York...April through June. You do need to be a little bit careful with the pockets - my phone falls out of it all the time if they aren't zipped, but shame on me for not learning that lesson. I have the black, and it great for casual wear no matter what the occasion."
Love this jacket! A must have.

I bought this jacket just a couple weeks ago and I am already in love with it. Its a super light but warm jacket for any mid-weather adventure (just in time for spring). I'm planning to bring this on every trip I take in the spring and summer. It's perfect for aerobic activities as it captures warmth without overheating. The fit is also a plus for me. I initially tried the XS and it was just a bit too perfectly snug in the hips and a bit too short for my liking. The small was perfect! Just a bit loose for any layers but still sleek and trim. Cant wait to wear this even more.

This jacket was clutch climbing Cathedral Peak in Yosemite the first weekend of November. It kept the cold at bay and when we moved into the shadows it paired well with a light windshell. I did a little spot cleaning from climbing dirt and then wore it to the office. Love it!
Awesome jacket for any time of year
- Familiarity: I've used it several times

I highly recommend this jacket. It's high quality and lightweight, also comes in a lot of awesome colors. I definitely recommend this!
If You Don't Have One, You Should!

The Atom LT is my go-to puffy and ultimate layering piece for everything outdoors. I wear it under a shell skiing and as a stand-alone jacket on chilly days. It keeps me warm enough in cold temperatures, but breathes well enough that I don't steam up. It has stretchy side panels made of Polartec Power Stretch that are flattering and vent heat, while still keeping you warm. The pockets are even fleece lined to keep your hands extra warm.
While the performance of this jacket is amazing, the comfort of this jacket is even more impressive to me. I would literally wear this jacket every day if I could. It is so soft and feels like butter when you're wearing it.
Another consideration when purchasing a puffy jacket is durability. I've had mine for eight years now and it still looks as good as the day I bought it.
The fit is slightly trim fit, but tapered. If you like a slim look, go for your regular jacket size, if you want extra room for layering, size up.
I'm often asked as a Gearhead what my favorite piece of gear is. Hands down without hesitation, the answer is always the Atom LT. If you ever come into Backcountry's office during spring, summer, or fall, there is a seriously good chance you'll see me wearing one of my Atom LTs and a ton of other employees, as well. Basically, I can't think of a good reason not to have one.
If you want the warmest version of the Atom LT, get the hooded version, if you want an even lighter version, consider the vest.
If you have any questions at all about this jacket or even want to chat about how much you love yours, please call me at 801-204-4562 or email me at email@example.com

Great mid-layer or stand alone

The Atom LT jacket is a great addition to any closet! It has nice, breathable side panels that allows you to engage in high output activity without feeling the build up of perspiration inside the garment. This jacket is certainly an athletic fit (slim) and is a bit short on my torso - I am 5'8". A synthetic insulated piece such as the Atom LT is super versatile in all conditions, though I would recommend using it in milder temperatures such as 0 degrees celsius to -5 if you are going to wear it as a stand alone piece. I've used this jacket mountain biking, cross country skiing, hiking and camping.
A Great Multi-Purpose Jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Size Bought: Small
- Height: 5'9"
I bought this for a friend who had the following to say:
"There is so much to love about this jacket! First, this jacket is incredibly lightweight, more like an insulated sweater than a jacket. Despite its light weight, it is incredibly warm. I wear it with the Sentinel jacket. I use the Atom LT as my insulation layer to keep me warm, and the Sentinel as a weather and wind-resistant outer shell.
Second, the Atom LT also can also can be compressed into a small space for travel. I do wish it came with a bag or could be stowed in one of its pockets. During the winter, I want to use this jacket constantly. Although, I would like a bag, its absence won't deter me from packing it everywhere I go.
Third, I think the thing I love most is the Atom LT is incredibly comfortable. It is longer in the back for great fit, extra warmth and comfort. It also has snug wrists that keep warmth inside where you need it. The side panels are great for breathability, and I can envision using this jacket in a wide variety of outdoor activities. The Atom LT is a great, functional jacket.
Overall, this is an Arc'teryx favorite for versatility. You cannot go wrong with this jacket."
Sleek, Stylish, and Warm
This jacket has it all. It is compact, yet still very warm. It serves as a perfect outer layer for your daily needs, and can even be worn as an under-layer on those colder days! Definitely recommend this jacket to anyone!
WOW love it and so many uses!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L
- Height: 5'5"
- Weight: 150lbs
Easy to pack, doesn't wrinkle, light weight, yet offers surprising warmth. I use it as a jacket to work, to bike or rollerblade, to cross country ski, as a layer under a shell for colder downhill skiing. Love the length a bit longer over the butt for extra warmth. It's close-fitting, yet the sides are stretchy so lots of movement. Have had this jacket for several years, well worth it. I got the roseberry color and love it. Most recently layered it under a shell for 8 degree skiing at Snowbird, UT! First time layering for cold and it performed perfectly!
A touch of warmth
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: L
- Height: 5'6"
- Weight: 145lbs
... but really, just a touch. This is a great jacket for temps in the 30s (under a shell) or 50s-60s (alone) but if you're looking for some serious insulation, this is not for you. I know, it says "LT" -- take that seriously, and if you need something truly warm, go for the AR version instead.
That being said, this jacket is fantastic when you just need a little warmth - super lightweight, very breathable, and very easy to layer over. Truly a 3-season jacket that can span a range of conditions. It's also very easy to layer over. I got the non-hooded version for maximum versatility.
Like some Arc'teryx items, the fit is a bit of a mystery -- some things run small, while others are large; this one is in the latter category. If you're between sizes, I would recommend sizing down rather than up.
Too short!
I love everything about this jacket except for the length! I am on the shorter side (5'4) and I still find it too short. Such a huge shame! Because otherwise it is perfect as a jacket for between seasons.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size

My wife has one of these and she loves it. The material is made out of dragon skin because she beats this to shit and has never had a rip or tear in the material.
Insulation: its that perfect mid layer fill! keeps you warm!
Fit: its going to be close to your body to keep you warm.
Pro: Durable, Warm, and Lifetime Warranty
Cons: she wished she would have gotten the one with the hood.
Warm enough for a spring m'cycle ride!

That's 5'-7" Katie in a size small Atom LT jacket. We rode my motorcycle to a walk around Ada Hayden Lake in Ames, Iowa and the Atom LT held back the morning's 26 deg wind chill temp. We both think the Atom LT is a great jacket (I've had mine for over 4 years). It's warm and lightweight and just feels great. With its athletic/trim cut, it looks great too. Highly recommended.
Patina Teal is Darker in Real Life
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
The Patina Teal is a darker teal in real life. It's much more green-tinted. I gave this as a gift to the winter runner in our family, and she loves it! Although the color is not as pictured, she still loved the color.
Interesting jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Close-fitting jacket works great alone for cold biking or under a shell for skiing. Very lightweight but very warm for what it is. Stretchy on the sides, wind and waterproof elsewhere. Nice deep pockets, no pit zips, tight cuffs on the sleeves. Good for a variety of uses. Longer in back keeps your butt warm too. Attractive fit a lot like the women's Marmot fit. I found it to run just a touch small - maybe just felt that way because it is so close-fitting. My normal size worked. I will use it a lot. The product description is very accurate and like any Arc'teryx product, the quality is superb.
Warm and light!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love this ultra light jacket. With its articulated sleeves and close fit it feels great over a light fleece or anything for that matter. Water beaded nicely in rain on last hike. It is a close fit, but has a little pouf to it - fabric feels light but takes a beating...Typical awesome Arc'teryx quality. Perfect for cold (not sub-zero) hikes and runs or with it's close fit, as a layering piece.
My favorite jacket!!! :D
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love love love this jacket!!! Here's some reasons why:
- incredibly comfortable
- super light
- compresses down to pretty darn small
- articulated elbows (no tight feeling when bending the arms or bunching on the inside of your elbow)
- dries fast
- small wrists (keeps out wind and great for layering)
- smooth zipper (Arc'teryx quality everything)
- fits and looks great
This jacket is super awesome for a few different activities. I bought it initially for wearing with my drysuit (on winter river trips) because the slim sleeve design fits well under a drysuit with gasketed wrists, but then I found out once I had it, it's the best cold weather running jacket I've ever worn! (By cold, I mean cold).
I am 5'5", 105 lbs, measurements are 30x24x34 and I went with a small. I could've done an XS (I tried them both on) and I went with the small for the extra length in the torse, but either worked fit wise.

On Tuesday, Proterra revealed that one of its Catalyst E2 Max electric buses just set a new world record for the longest distance traveled by an electric vehicle on a single charge. The bus, which packs a hefty 660kWh of storage—equivalent to 11 Chevy Bolts—drove a total of 1,101.2 miles (1,772.2km) at the Navistar Proving Grounds in Indiana. It's quite an impressive feat, considering the previous record holder was a lightweight experimental single-seat EV.
While 1,100 miles is a lot more than an average bus drives in a day, Proterra's record may prove quite helpful in persuading range-anxious transit authorities to ditch internal combustion in favor of battery power for future fleets.
Of course, the other factor is how long it takes to recharge. This is probably less of an issue with vehicles like buses, delivery trucks, and garbage trucks that spend their lives crawling around cities, since that kind of low-speed, stop-and-go duty cycle plays right into the strengths of an electric powertrain, and the vehicles can recharge at the end of their route. Proterra also developed a high-speed charging system for buses (which it's offering to anyone without licensing fees), although even with its high-voltage system in operation, the 660kWh record-breaking bus would still need at least an hour to get back to a full charge.

College of Religious Studies, Mahidol University, was founded in 1999 and is located at the Namthong Building, just opposite the Faculty of Veterinary Science at Salaya, Nakhorn Prathom, Thailand.
College is dedicated to the study and research in the field of religious studies and fosters mutual understanding, cooperation, and respect among people of different religious traditions both in Thailand and throughout the world, so that common concerns might be creatively addressed. In teaching and research, the College also strives to nurture global ethical values and promote peace and human well-being.
The 21st Century has come with all its promise and potential. Southeast Asia and the rest of the world are entering a new and challenging historical stage. Accordingly the College has designed its program to meet these challenges.
Continuing in its mission, the College advances the academic study of religion among members of the monastic and lay communities with special emphasis on Buddhism. Its academic programs address emerging issues that are new challenges to religion such as those which concern globalization, women's rights, new scientific discoveries, and the use of modern technology in medicine. Other dimensions of the programs include training students in modern languages, computer, and critical thinking, along with religious studies, to enable them to live meaningfully in the globalized world.
The College of Religious Studies is currently offering Bachelor's and post graduate degrees to produce competent teachers and scholars of religion as well as chaplains/ counselors to serve modern needs of Thailand and the wider global community.
Job Opportunities :
In a globalized world the broad inter-cultural studies of our students prepares them for careers in multicultural settings such as government and multinational corporations. Many of our graduates go on to study in such areas as law, education, management, psychology, political science etc, and then move on to careers in academics, law, counseling, media, banking, teaching, the airline industry etc.
For the graduate monks, they often go on to hold high positions within the Thai sangha serving as abbots, temple administrators, heads of meditation centers and as missionaries in many parts of the world.

If you are a coffee fan looking for a coffee grinder that is economically priced, but still manages to provide good value and a fresh grind for your morning cup, then the Proctor Silex E160BY Fresh Grind might be for you.
At less than $20, the value for this product is practically unbeatable.
Made by Proctor-Silex, an appliance company that's been in the business for over fifty years, you know that this product (like all their products), have been rigorously tested in the lab before hitting the stores.
That is why this model of coffee grinder meets North American Electrical Standards, which cannot be said for similar products.
Main features include:
- A cord that wraps internally
- Stainless steel blades
- A safety on/off button
- Stylish European design
- Easy to clean
We're not about to review any product without talking about the good and the bad, and some folks have definitely had their share of difficulties with this grinder, so in this review you'll learn a lot about the Proctor Silex E160BY; some things you definitely need to know, and maybe even more!
Compact Size
When you purchase this popular blade grinder, you're getting 1.2 lbs / 7 inches of grinding muscle right there in your kitchen.
You might think, "that doesn't seem like a whole lot of muscle." Well, relative to its size, it is.
One customer named Jim Watson made this comment:
"I see people complaining about this grinder being too small… uh, it's SUPPOSED to be small! That would be like buying an 18-wheeler tractor trailer and cab and then complaining that the truck was too big!!!"
Our sentiments exactly. This grinder is designed to be compact, so that you can easily store it, clean it, move it, and operate it.
On the product page, the folks at Proctor-Silex refer to it as a "precision grinder", which means that its kind of on the smaller side, yes, but you can focus on perfecting smaller doses of grinding.
Some users even get some good use out of it grinding spices, and things like flax seeds.
The capacity of this grinder is definitely not huge. If you pack this thing to the gils, it still would take two cycles of grinding to get enough grinds for your 10-cup coffee maker.
So, for those of us who aren't particularly in a big hurry, or wanting to grind large quantities of coffee beans at once, the Proctor-Silex does just fine.
Grinds Flax Seeds, Spices, & More!
One thing we've noticed in our research is that this blade coffee grinder seems notorious for being a device that people will throw almost anything into, as it is advertised as a spice grinder as well as a coffee, specifically.
There is mention of grinding not only coffee beans, but flax seeds, peanuts, and any number of other grind-ables.
Most users confirm that this grinder is a gem when it comes to grinding things, but it would also seem that people do take the all-purpose nature of this grinder quite literally, and this might be leading to the sometimes premature demise of this not-indestructible coffee grinder.
The overriding philosophy being, "Twelve bucks, how can you go wrong?"
Consistency Of Grind
At the end of the day, consistency seems to be very good (you might even say surprisingly good) for this small grinder.
Most users report that almost any grind they are trying to achieve is quite possible with the Proctor-Silex E160BY.
The range of grinds includes your standard three – coarsest for French Press, relatively coarse for drip coffee / percolator, and fine grind for espresso.
The majority of users seem to have no issue getting the grind consistency they're looking for, but at this price point, its not shocking that not everyone can get exactly what they want.
Easy To Clean?
Proctor-Silex claims that this cute little coffee grinder is easy to clean, and so do some fans In fact, that is supposedly one of its key features.
Well, G.E. Wood begs to differ. "Proctor Silex designed the unit to be very difficult to clean. What a mess! You're much better off to spend the $20 or $30 to get a grinder that actually works."
In spite of this fact, G.E. Wood gave the grinding 4 out of 5 stars, suggesting that he/she has a bit of a love/hate relationship with the small, white coffee grinding unit.
Other users find removing the lid and wiping the tiny grinder down to be quite simple.
Fine Grinding For Espresso
Some users have a beef with saying that the E160BY isn't a "fine grind" type of grinder.
Well, if you are a true fan of espresso, chances are you will not be looking at this grinder as an option to begin with, as it is only around $20 and one cannot reasonably expect a blade grinder to do this job consistently.
That said, some users have found a way to make it work.
Here's a quick video demonstrating how to get some of those finer grinds with a little bit of shaking.
For the most part, people have been enjoying their Proctor-Silex blade coffee grinder for many weeks/months/years without incident.
It would seem that despite not being an expensive burr grinder, many users do just fine with it over time.
After all, it can grind coffee beans and flax seeds every day and still keep on truckin'. That's pretty good!
That said, we must say again that this is only a $20 grinder so we think that with that price tag, you do get a great value, however grinders like this were never built to last forever, sadly.
Final Word
Our review of this grinder boils down to just a couple of facts here. One is that you are paying less than $20 for a coffee grinder that many people enjoy using. It is a trooper of a grinder, that's for sure.
That said, people have their nitpicks about this small kitchen utensil and most of them fall in the department of it not being the most versatile machine.
This may be true, in that it doesn't come with lots of grind settings or any features that you get with more expensive burr grinders, but hey, it is a $20 blade grinder, and it needs to be cut some slack.
Below you will find links to fancier grinders if you are more into espresso or grinding for diversity.
For those who simply want better tasting coffee at home, and no mucking around, the Proctor Silex E160BY is definitely work a go!

Principles and Practice of Chromatography - Factors Controlling Retention > The Thermodynamic Explanation of Retention > Page 16
where (DHo) is the Standard Enthalpy Change,
and (DSo) is the Standard Entropy Change.
It is seen that if the standard entropy change and standard enthalpy change for the distribution could be calculated then the distribution coefficient (K) and, consequently, the retention volume could also be predicted. Unfortunately, these properties are difficult, if not impossible, to isolate and estimate and so the magnitude of the overall distribution coefficient can not be estimated in this way. Nevertheless, once the phase system has been identified, with sufficient experimental data being available, empirical equations can be developed to optimize a given distribution system for a specific separation. Computer programs, based on this rationale, are available for LC to carry out such optimization procedures for solvent mixtures having three or more components. Nevertheless, the appropriate stationary phase is still usually identified from the types of interactions that need to be exploited to effect the required separation. By measuring the retention volume of a solute over a range of temperatures equation (2) can also be used to identify the type of retention mechanism that is operative in a particular separation .

Our pet dogs and cats can have teeth problems as well. At Mudgee Veterinary Hospital we can treat most of these problems.
Bad breath, dribbling, pain when eating or reluctance to eat, swollen areas around the teeth are all signs of a problem. If you have a look in the mouth you can see a brown tarter on the gum edge, red inflammed gums or missing gum and exposed tooth roots
Most proceedures will require a general anaesthetic. Simple proceedures such as a teeth clean include removal of tarter with our ultrasonic scaler and a high speed polish.
More involved proceedures include extractions. Our high speed burrs allow easier and less traumatic teeth removal.
The old saying "Prevention is better than cure", this certainly apply to dental care. Dogs and cats that work their teeth on bones and harder busicuits generally have better teeth than pets on wet canned food.
If you pet can have meal with a bone this will assist in keeping cleaner and healthier teeth. Chicken wings and neck are fine for cats and small dogs. Your pet can spend hours eating and chewing these bones. This helps keep the gums and teeth healthy.

How can we reach the UK? It's a great question.
I think God has it covered; 98 per cent of Christians spend 95 per cent of their waking lives beyond church walls – at home, at work, at school, in retirement homes, sports teams and pubs – all across the UK. So what if we change the question. Who can reach the UK? Well, we all can. Right where we are.
We need whole-life disciple-making communities with eyes to help one another grow in maturity and in mission.
Isabel is a grandma. She didn't think she had much to contribute to God's mission until a group from her church meeting in her home discovered she had a 23-year-old granddaughter who loved to come for lunch every Sunday. Week by week, Isabel was chatting about what she'd heard in church that morning to a young woman in an age range the church finds hard to reach. And she hadn't seen it as significant.
Whatever the make-up of your church family – old or young, healthy or infirm, rich or poor, employed or not – as Christians they all have one thing in common. They each have a frontline – a place they usually go to, where they spend time with people. And the first principle of forensics is this: every contact leaves a trace.
Isabel's church minister was in that group meeting in her home. Two things happened. That evening, the group prayed and commissioned Isabel for her mission field with her family. And the next Sunday, when the minister saw Isabel in the pew in front of him, he was reminded that she'd likely share something of what he said later over lunch with a 23-year-old. So he preached with a fresh alertness to the frontlines of the church members. And when we last caught up with Isabel, she described herself as "on a roll". "My daughter's coming to church now," she reported delightedly.
The primary role of a church leader is disciple-maker – not principal carer, or event organiser, or recruiter for community activities. The 'equipping' leader helps people discover the implications of the gospel for the whole of life.
We need whole-life disciple-making communities with eyes to help one another grow in maturity and in mission.
So what might this mean for church leaders?
- Know that what you do on Sunday really matters. Where else will frontline disciples be reminded of the purposes of our creator God? Where else will they be affirmed in their identity as beloved sons and daughters of their heavenly Father? Sunday is vital to ignite an imagination for life on the frontline; and a confidence in God who calls us there.
- Use the power of leadership to affirm the significance of everyday life. Discover people's frontlines and find ways to understand the pressure points and kingdom priorities in those places. Look for the stories of God at work, even when people can't see them for themselves. The stories you invite to be told publically indicate what you think matters.
- Go beyond pastoral care. People expect pastoral care. But pastoral equipping matters, too. The primary role of a church leader is disciple-maker – not principal carer, or event organiser, or recruiter for community activities. The 'equipping' leader helps people discover the implications of the gospel for the whole of life.
- Give people a broad and deep understanding of what fruitful mission looks like for them. We are caught up into God's transforming work in the world: our home, our work, our street, our industry, our school, our heart. We want Christians to be messengers of the gospel, but God's mission means we want them to be a mouthpiece for truth and justice too. God's mission means we encourage them to model godly character, ministering grace and love. God's mission means we pray they will 'make good work' to the glory of God, whatever their labour – paid or unpaid (Colossians 3:17); and mould the culture around them, whether in workplaces or in families.
- Embrace the challenge of leading culture change in your church; that's what creating a whole-life disciple-making Church will demand. One leader, reflecting on the culture shift that had happened in his church, said this, "What has changed? Everything has changed and the biggest change has been in me."
- Don't go it alone. The numbers of church leaders who want to lead this change are growing. And they're gathering to learn and support one another. So if you think this could help you, why not connect with LICC through training days or learning hubs.
To reach our nation let's all learn to be the best we can be for Jesus: right where we are.
We hope you find videos, articles and resources on our website that inspire you and your community to share Jesus – and please do feel free to share these on social media or in church gatherings. If you see something that you would like to post on another website, however, please get in touch so that we can help you.

Civilization was pretty great while it lasted, wasn't it? Too bad it's not going to for much longer. According to a new study sponsored by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, we only have a few decades left before everything we know and hold dear collapses.
The report, written by applied mathematician Safa Motesharrei of the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center along with a team of natural and social scientists, explains that modern civilization is doomed. And there's not just one particular group to blame, but the entire fundamental structure and nature of our society.
Analyzing five risk factors for societal collapse (population, climate, water, agriculture and energy), the report says that the sudden downfall of complicated societal structures can follow when these factors converge to form two important criteria. Motesharrei's report says that all societal collapses over the past 5,000 years have involved both "the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity" and "the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or "Commoners") [poor]." This "Elite" population restricts the flow of resources accessible to the "Masses", accumulating a surplus for themselves that is high enough to strain natural resources. Eventually this situation will inevitably result in the destruction of society.

Be Careful when eating apples
Please don't eat the skin of the apple because it's coated with wax.
Check before you eat many of the fruits.
WAX is being used for preservation purposes and cold storage.
You might be surprised especially apples from USA and other parts are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Because wax is coated, preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry.
Please Eat Apples after removing the wax as demonstrated below. Please follow this and let others know ......
Hope it will be of benefit to you & others.

This article is written by Startup Weekend Education organizer, Karl Rectanus.
After speaking on a panel to some of the brightest undergraduate students from the US and Mexico last week, I decided something: Entrepreneurs have become too cool.
Entrepreneurs are the "lead guitarist" of the 70's, the "stock broker" of the 80's, the movie star, the striker on the World Cup team, and the point guard. Miles Davis driving an electric sports car through the middle of a Vegas night club. Being an entrepreneur is all sparkly photos, fast talking and billion dollar exits. Right?
Don't believe the hype… The reality is entrepreneurs are people who solve problems for a distinct market, usually with a lot of hard work and limited resources.
So, when one of those bright undergrads asked me how I went from the classroom to the "glories" of entrepreneurship, I realized something else:
Teachers are real entrepreneurs.
Every day, educators are solving problems for their distinct market (their classroom of students) with a lot of hard work and limited resources. They help the students who excel and those that struggle. They invent and deliver solutions, with learning, analysis, communication, self-awareness, persistence and critical thinking as the commodity of trade. They help students move ahead on the next quiz, in the next grade, to the next level in the real world.
Do we celebrate teachers as entrepreneurs? Not always.
That's why I'm ecstatic that our region's next installment of Triangle Startup Weekend is Education focused. The event — at an amazing venue, The James Hunt Library on Centennial Campus at NC State on July 18-20 — will bring educators, mentors, celebrity judges and rewards to help make new ideas into new realities. Educators and engineers, problem solvers and critical thinkers, collaborators and visionaries will gather for 54 hours of invention, competition and new solutions.
So, if you're a teacher, a student, or a regular old non-movie star that wants a dose of how real entrepreneurs create solutions, then sign up and participate. Learn more and register.

Sustainable—or green—business is one of the largest, fastest growing sectors in the economy presently, and only expected to expand further in the coming years with increased environmental issues and concerns proliferating by the day. In 2010, 3.1 million jobs in the U.S. involved green goods and services, or 2.4% of total employment. Professionals looking to capitalize on this burgeoning economy have the advantage of not only getting in early on a lucrative business, but also making real-world changes that could affect future generations and protect distressed ecosystems: human or otherwise.
Though strictly environmental advocates are helpful in contributing to the discussion, the most effective green leaders will be those that can synthesize practical business concerns with occasionally fractious environmental ones. In other words, leaders who can speak and act with authority from the vantage of both perspectives. An MBA in Sustainability is a first step toward that goal. Here are our top online programs.
MBA Programs in Sustainability Methodology:
Affordability (1/3): the estimated average out-of-state tuition per credit hour.
Flexibility (1/3): if the program offers additional specializations and/or an accelerated track.
Academic Reputation (1/3): the rank of the school's parent institution according to other prominent rankings such asUS News.
1Euclid University
Euclid University offers an MBA in Sustainable Development consisting of 36-40 credit hours, focusing on practical application of theory in order to support and engage serious sustainable development. Though mostly asynchronous, students are divided periodically into groups to exchange coursework and ideas. The curriculum is tailored particularly to train current government employees already in the field, but it is also suitable to prepare other professionals for careers with national governmental bodies, NGOs, multinational corporations, and international organizations. Euclid's program is unique in that it is the only Master's program in Sustainable Development offered by an intergovernmental organization with a specialized institute dedicated to this field of study (the International Organization for Sustainable Development).
2University of Saint Francis
The University of Saint Francis's program is a unique combination of USF's MBA and and Master of Environmental Health. The degree consists of 36 credit hours, 21 devoted to the Business core and 15 devoted to the Sustainability core. To maximize flexibility, accelerated tracks are available, allowing students to graduate in as little as 12 months. In particular, USF's program seeks to teach students how to implement green business initiatives to protect the environment, increase productivity, save money, and increase net revenue in an ethical manner consistent with the university's Catholic background. Applicants who have not earned a 2.75 undergraduate GPA or had five years of work experience must submit GMAT scores.
3Wilmington University
Wilmington University's online program offers a 36-credit curriculum. For interested students looking to further enhance their resume, there is also a Certificate of Advanced Study in Sustainability available for an additional 15 credit-hours. In addition to the business core, the green concentration addresses strategic planning for sustainable organizations, environmental regulations and ethics, and management of green technology, among other areas. Courses are offered in accelerated, seven-week formats and designed to meet the needs of students who must meet full-time job requirements as well.
4San Francisco Institute of Architecture
The San Francisco Institute of Architecture is 16-course, 51-unit program that consists of a 4-track curriculum based on Sustainability, Business Skills, Administrative Action, and Strategic Planning. For maximum flexibility particularly helpful for full-time professionals, the program is entirely self-paced and self-managed, allowing students to finish their degrees on their own time. In addition, for design professionals requiring continuing education units, you can simultaneously earn the necessary CE units while earning academic units toward the degree.
5University of Colorado—Denver
The University of Colorado Denver requires 48 credit hours, including 30 core credits, 3 international business credits, and 15 devoted to the sustainability concentration. Available for both part- and full-time students, UC-Denver allows students to take classes tailored to fit their schedule, and also offers an accelerated 11-month track. Among the elective classes available for the program are Managing for Sustainability, Social Entrepreneurship in the Developing World, Accounting and Finance for Sustainability, and Global Climate Change, among many others.
6Western Kentucky University
Western Kentucky University is a 33 credit hour program available to both full- and part-time students. For those interested, an accelerated track consists of bi-term, 7-week courses designed to adhere with "adult learning theory," which emphasizes focusing on one course at a time (though students may further accelerate their coursework by taking an additional class). In either case, WKU provides extremely flex schedule options, allowing students to graduate in as little as 18 months, or take up to 5 years if they choose. In addition, the MBA in Sustainability will soon offer a graduate certificate in Business Sustainability.

This product is an all around great product and is able to do everything I asked it to do. The only problem I have with it is that the straw/tube isn't long enough. Overall, this is a fantastic product and if needed you shouldn't hesitate to buy.

Great trigger. I bought 3 of these (red) to replace the triggers on my "hardware store" branded 32oz bottles. Great for QD / clay lube bottles since they hold pressure when rapid firing.
